The native residents of Juli Country have naturally not seen much of the world due to lack of resources.
Ah Cheng is not like that. He studied under Zhenren Ziyang, so he naturally recognizes that the thing in the hands of the people is Ganoderma lucidum grass.
"Brother, this is not an ordinary herb, but Ganoderma lucidum." Acheng stepped forward and said.
Orion scratched his head and showed a simple smile:
"I don't know what this herb is called."
"But it makes my mother-in-law look radiant. This is the sacred grass."
"Sigh... It would be great if we ordinary people could get this kind of herbal medicine to keep ourselves healthy."
As soon as these words came out, Sang, who was watching, raised his eyebrows and understood immediately.
Ah Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then showed a hint of thoughtfulness.
He has been in seclusion all year round, so naturally not many people know that he is a holy priest.
At this time, he was dressed in plain clothes and holding a bamboo stick, just like a traveler. There was also a strange look of enlightenment in his eyes.
It's like... I've caught something, but it's still somewhat specious.
"I hope you are in good health..."
"Yes...our country, Juli, has too few resources, whether it is food or medical care."
"When ordinary people get sick, most of them can only resist."
"Even if there are doctors, most people can't afford the high medical fees."
"Could it be...that this is what the teacher wants me to know..."
Muttering to himself, Ah Cheng began his journey.
Although Juli Country is not big, for a person walking on foot, it can be considered as a journey through thousands of mountains and rivers.
And the entire sky was rapidly alternating between day and night.
Sang followed Acheng and watched Acheng leave the capital and come to many sparsely populated but more barren places.
He saw many people suffering endlessly in the face of life, death, illness, and their families were destroyed.
He looked at the helpless people and prayed to the sky, longing for time and years.
finally……
One year has passed.
On this day, Ah Cheng sat cross-legged under a waterfall, letting the water wash over his body.
He closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.
Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came.
Sang turned around subconsciously and was shocked when he saw the person coming.
Just because a young Taoist priest came in front of him, but his appearance and facial features were exactly the same as his own.
The Taoist priest casually scratched his hair with a whisk, looked at Acheng under the waterfall, and showed a smile:
"That old boy Ziyang, he really got it right."
"Is there really an incredible little alchemist here?"
"Hehe, interesting and interesting!"
"My visit to the Li Dynasty is not in vain."
While muttering to himself, a Taoist priest who looked exactly like Sang walked over and tapped Cheng on the back of the head with a whisk.
Seeing this, Sang couldn't help but open his mouth and was speechless for a moment.
Ah Cheng felt someone was disturbing him and opened his eyes blankly:
"This fellow Taoist, you are..."
The Taoist priest laughed, waved his whisk, cupped his hands and said:
"The Han man's name is...Nanhua."
"I have been friends with Master Ziyang for a long time. He told me that he has a young apprentice who is probably confused and asked me to come and look for him."
"It should be you."
As soon as these words came out, Ah Cheng was stunned.
Immediately he realized something and stood up quickly.
Sang looked at the self-proclaimed Nanhua Taoist in the picture and couldn't help but feel doubtful.
Could it be...that this is my previous life?
In the midst of doubt, they saw that the two of them had already arrived at the waterfall.
Ah Cheng asked immediately:
"Fellow Taoist, I...there are indeed some things that I can't figure out."
Nanhua Taoist picked a leaf at random, made a water cup, scooped a cup of water for himself under the waterfall, and drank as much as he wanted.
Acheng continued:
"I received guidance from my teacher and planned to use mythical stories to maintain the fortune of the country of Goryeo."
"However... I failed, and even my cultivation began to dissipate."
"Later, the teacher came here and gave me some advice."
"In the past year, I have seen a lot of life and death. I have seen people hoping that their parents will die quickly because they are too old and are not engaged in childbirth, so they can only become a burden to the family."
"I have also seen people spend all their wealth just to allow their loved ones to survive the illness for a few more years."
"I also saw some people who didn't want to live alone and followed their loved ones after they passed away."
"I even saw that some people regard some animals and natural objects as auspicious omens."
"But... I don't understand why they behave like this."
Nanhua Taoist shook his body slightly, which had nothing to do with the Taoist's immortal style.
"Your name is Gao Cheng, right? Let me call you Ah Cheng."
"Can you tell me? For example... what things do people regard as auspicious things?"
Ah Cheng explained:
"Like the white crane, and like... the white deer."
"And Ganoderma lucidum grass."
"I can understand these as auspicious signs."
"But there are still people who worship water, mountains, sun, and clouds."
"But... there are no such figures in the myths I compiled. It's just like... in daily life, ordinary people spontaneously."
After listening to Ah Cheng's words, Nanhua Taoist laughed loudly:
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"No wonder you can't think about it."
"So it's because... are you thinking too much?"
Confused by Nanhua Taoist's words, Ah Cheng couldn't help but say:
"Fellow Taoist, what does this mean?"
Nanhua Taoist said with a smile:
"Let me ask you, what do you think about life and death?"
Ah Cheng was silent for a moment:
"Life or death is God's will. When to live and when to die should be natural and cannot be forced."
Taoist Nanhua touched his chin and nodded:
"A short sentence can teach you the secrets of life and death. Old man Ziyang has indeed taught you well."
"It's a pity...the teaching is too good."
"You, like me, should be like me and play among the mountains and rivers to experience the fun of the world."
"Instead of entering the national court and working hard for the affairs of the world."
"But... forget it, it's too late."
"Let me ask you, how long did it take you to understand the meaning of life and death?"
Ah Cheng showed a hint of sigh:
"I'm a dull person. I practiced with my teacher for more than ten years before I could barely see through it."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Nanhua knocked Ah Cheng on the head with a whisk:
"Excessive humility is arrogance."
"You still have dull qualifications? After more than ten years of seeing through life and death, that is a wonderful talent!"
"On the other hand, you have been cultivating Taoism till now, and you have been guided by old man Ziyang. It has taken you more than ten years to see through life and death."
"But...where are the people in heaven?"
"They don't have time to practice, they don't have time to cultivate their minds, they don't have the guidance of famous teachers, and they don't have the experience to read many classics."
"Do you think they can see through life and death?"
Ah Cheng was stunned for a moment and then shook his head.
"Yeah, they can't see through life and death."
"That's why they feel so desperate and sad when they face separation or death."
"As for what you just said, white deer, red cranes, auspicious clouds, the sun, Ganoderma lucidum, and mountains and rivers, if you think about it carefully, are these things that will last forever and remain unchanged for many years?"
"For example, white deer and red crane are regarded as signs of longevity in the Han Dynasty and Taoism."
"Ganoderma lucidum is a magical thing that can make people live longer."
“Mountains, mountains and rivers remain unchanged for thousands of years.”
"Thinking of this, do you understand?"
After listening to Nanhua Taoist's words, Ah Cheng thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he understood something.
"What fellow Taoist means is..."
"Longevity, this is what the people hope for most!"
Nanhua Taoist laughed and said:
"Of course!"
"Actually, since ancient times, how many people have been able to see through the immortality?"
"However... only those who see through it will live forever."
"For the newly born Juli Kingdom, what the people want has never been blessings from gods above."
"But... something that affects their core desires."
Ah Cheng finally understood, and immediately stood up solemnly, bowing slightly to Taoist Nanhua:
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help!"
Nanhua Taoist laughed:
"You're welcome."
"Old man Ziyang asked me to come to help you and to help me."
"Well... I have already figured it out. After a few years, you and I will still have a destiny!"
"Hahaha……"
As he spoke, Taoist Nanhua stood up slowly:
"My little fellow Taoist, before I say goodbye, I have a few words to say to you."
"When the most important task in your life is completed, you will encounter a round of disaster."
"When the time comes, it's up to you how to eliminate it, hahahaha..."
Amid laughter, Nanhua Taoist turned around and disappeared.
Sang looked at Acheng who was sitting there, his eyes already bright.
He bathed under the waterfall, then took his luggage and walked back to the capital step by step.
When he returned, his disciples were all overjoyed, and Jumong even came in person.
At this time, Acheng showed a confident smile and said:
"Sir, I finally found a way!"
"Give me a month."
"In one month, Juli Country will have its own true faith!"
…
After giving instructions to everyone, Cheng came to the main hall where Jumong went to court.
With pen and ink in hand, I finally focused my attention on the screen behind Jumong when he went to court.
Later, with Jumong's consent, Ah Cheng began to paint on the screen.
At this time, little bits of golden light continued to fall.
A pattern of a rising sun was quickly completed on the screen.
And since the sun, there is...
Auspicious clouds, high mountains, flowing water, white deer, red crane, dragon turtle, black bamboo, cedar, immortal grass.
The moment the ten paintings were completed, a golden rain fell from the sky above the entire Juli Kingdom.
The people bathing in the golden rain suddenly felt refreshed.
The barren and barren land began to glow with life.
Ju Mong, who noticed the movement, came to the main hall with his ministers.
He looked at Acheng, who was sitting there in front of the screen, already somewhat exhausted, and then looked at the ten shining pictures, and... among the pictures, ten figures were slowly walking out...
Jumong stepped forward in surprise:
"A Cheng, this is..."
Ah Cheng panted slightly and looked at Jumong with a smile:
"grown ups……"
"It's done!"
"The true totem belief that belongs to our country of Juli - Ten Immortals!"
