After getting married, Jiang Ziya lived in Song Yiren's house as usual. As time went by, Ma became unhappy.
Mr. Ma is a very independent person, so he relies on others to depend on their appearance. This is not a long-term solution.
After going back and forth, Ma helped Jiang Ziya do some small business so that he could start a family and start a business early.
But what to do? If you don’t have capital or ideas, you can’t beg for food.
Ma thought for a few days and saw a bamboo forest at the base of the mountain, so he asked Jiang Ziya to cut the bamboos and make them into bamboo baskets to sell.
Jiang Ziya went there for three days, but he didn't sell a single bamboo basket. Instead, his shoulders were red and swollen from the pressure. Ma felt that he was incompetent, so they both had a big quarrel.
After hearing this, Song Yiren came to break up the fight and provided Jiang Ziya with capital to buy grains and grind them into flour to sell.
Jiang Ziya went there, wandering around for a whole day without selling a single fight. When he walked to the west gate, there was a martial arts performance outside the west gate, and a thunder frightened a horse.
Jiang Ziya was watching the excitement at the west gate when a frightened horse knocked over the noodle bucket. Not only did he not get any money from the sale, he lost two buckets of white flour.
Back and forth, Jiang Ziya changed a dozen jobs, none of which lasted more than three days.
The poor and humble couple are miserable, which makes the couple quarrel all day long. Let alone those who devote themselves to cultivation, it is difficult to be pure even when sleeping.
On this day, Jiang Ziya brought three more chickens to sell. When he walked to East Street, he bumped into the tax collector.
How could Jiang Ziya have the money to pay taxes? The two sides were arguing when a group of sergeants came towards them.
"stop!"
The leader was riding a fire cloud horse and wearing bright silver armor, looking very majestic.
Jiang Ziya was spitting with the tax collector, thinking about how he could take away the three chickens without paying taxes, when he heard someone behind him say: "Is the person in front of me Uncle Ziya?"
"Uncle Ziya?"
When Jiang Ziya heard this title, he looked back and found that it was a young general who came.
"Uncle Ziya, I am Yang Jian from Yuquan Mountain. What are you doing here, uncle?"
Wang Xu turned over and dismounted, cupped his hands in front of Jiang Ziya.
"Yang Jian!"
Hearing this name, Jiang Ziya knew who was coming, and his face turned red for a moment, and he defended: "There are too many chickens at home to eat, so I went out to sell a few, but I didn't expect to meet Junior Nephew Yang Jian.
"
At this time, Jiang Ziya had not yet obtained the list of gods and had embarked on the path of becoming a god on behalf of heaven, but he was doing very unsatisfactory.
This is inevitable. Jiang Ziya was ordered by the princes, generals and ministers. Apart from the princes, generals and ministers, he would pay whatever he did, and there was no chance of his being spared.
For example, if you are doing business, no one will patronize you.
When planting wheat, there is either a locust plague or a drought, and no matter what happens, there will be no harvest.
Even if he doesn't do anything and goes out to help others, the owner's family will be in trouble or suffer disaster. He is not born to eat this kind of rice.
"Uncle Master is so elegant. Today you and my uncle and nephew meet. As a nephew, I have to treat Uncle Master to a banquet."
Wang Xu turned over and dismounted, and ordered to the sergeant beside him: "You continue to patrol, I have important things to do here."
"Yes, General."
The troops obeyed the order and left in a mighty manner.
Jiang Ziya looked envious. He took the old hen from the tax collector's hand and asked, "Nephew, have you become an official in the court now?"
"Yes, I got the rank of General Fenwei, and now I am in charge of the Forbidden Army, but I am no longer as free as my uncle."
As Wang Xu spoke, he glanced at the restaurant not far away and said, "Uncle, there is a restaurant over there. Let's sit down together."
"this..."
Jiang Ziya was a little hesitant. First of all, he was not familiar with Wang Xu. He was a registered disciple of Saint Yuqing, while Yang Jian was a direct disciple of Master Yuding. There was a gap in seniority between the two, and they had only heard each other's names before.
In addition, he was out to sell chickens, and if he couldn't make enough money to sell them back, he probably wouldn't be able to explain it to his wife.
Wang Xu saw Jiang Ziya's expression and immediately said: "Uncle, please don't refuse. My nephew, these days, I always feel that there is something wrong with the form of Chao Ge, and I would like to ask my uncle for some advice."
"Chaoge situation!"
Jiang Ziya's eyes moved when he heard this word, then he stopped refusing and followed Wang Xu to the restaurant.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Wang Xu saw the sad look on Jiang Ziya's face and directly ordered a large table of dishes.
Jiang Ziya kept saying that he couldn't finish the meal, but in fact he swallowed the saliva again and again. He had never eaten anything good during the past two months of sleeping in the open air.
In the past, even when Song Yiren came to entertain him, he always refused to go. It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but that he couldn't go.
After all, the capital for his business these days was given by Song Yiren.
He said that nothing was accomplished, but Song Yiren lost a lot of money. Jiang Ziya was already feeling guilty, so why did he have the face to eat and drink recklessly?
After going back and forth, I realized what he was thinking, and Song Yiren stopped inviting him.
To this day, I really haven’t known the taste of meat for a long time.
"Uncle Master, please!"
When the food was served, Wang Xu toasted Jiang Ziya.
Jiang Ziya drank it all in one gulp, put down the glass and asked, "You said you have something to discuss with me, what is it?"
"Uncle Master, I went down the mountain to practice. I wanted to hone my Taoist mind, but I found that there is dirt and evil in Chaoge. It is really not a good place."
"It's like this..."
Jiang Ziya nodded silently. He had been in Chaoge for two months. He originally thought that King Zhou was a wise king, but the more he saw, the more he understood that this king was actually a faint king.
Perhaps, King Zhou before Nuwa's palace offered incense could be called the Lord of the Ming Dynasty. Now, even being ignorant and ignorant is not enough to describe him.
"Uncle Master, what are your plans?"
"I?"
When Jiang Ziya was asked about himself, he remained silent for a while and said: "I came down the mountain this time to assist the Lord Ming. Since King Zhou is not King Zhou, the Lord Ming will have someone else. I heard that Jichang, the prince of Xiqi,
I have a reputation for showing kindness, accepting virtuous people, and I have a reputation for being a virtuous person. These days, I am also thinking about whether I should go to Xiqi, but I am a little hesitant."
According to the mythology, Jiang Ziya should have been completely disappointed with King Zhou four months later, after Bigan's death.
At present, Bigan is still around, Shang Zhou is still the orthodoxy in the world, and Jiang Ziya still has some illusions about Shang Zhou.
Little did he know that when Sage Yuqing asked him to go down the mountain and warned him to follow his heart, he had already calculated that Jiang Ziya would not be able to assist Shang Zhou and would eventually join Xiqi.
And Xiqi is the investor chosen by the Chanjiao lineage.
"Uncle Master, come here, I'm toasting you."
The two exchanged cups and cups, chatting here and there, and had quite a good time chatting.
After drinking for three rounds, Jiang Ziya saw that the time was almost up and he had to go to the East Street to sell chickens, so he stood up and said, "It's getting late, and I have to go back."
Wang Xu and Jiang Ziya did not meet by chance, but came to build a relationship. He immediately took out a bag of gold and silver and said with a smile: "Uncle, I don't know when we will see each other again. This is my nephew's wish. I hope you can
Master, don’t refuse.”
"this..."
Jiang Ziya deliberately refused, but he really needed money.
Wang Xu saw this and put the package in Jiang Ziya's hand, and said: "Uncle, our family doesn't speak the same language. I came down the mountain to experience. If uncle encounters something good, just help my nephew. Besides, it's okay."
Well, my uncle is going to Xiqi, so he can’t be unprepared for the expenses, or he’ll be looked down upon for nothing.”
Jiang Ziya thought for a while, accepted the package, and sighed: "A person is not as good as a thousand days, and a flower is not as red as a hundred days. Uncle Master is feeling a little depressed now, but one cannot have bad luck all his life. Today's Notes on Friendship and Friendship, Uncle Master
Got off."
"Uncle, walk slowly."
Wang Xu sent Jiang Ziya out and watched him far away before looking back.
When he couldn't see anyone anymore, he suppressed his smile a little and whispered: "Leave a little bit of peace in your life so that we can meet each other easily in the future. Today you have received my kindness. When you are in charge of the list of gods in the future, you can't help but express it, right?"
"
Wang Xu has always thought that he must meet Jiang Ziya, because this seemingly down-and-out uncle is actually the person who will become a god on behalf of heaven in the future.
I dare not say too much. During the Great Tribulation of the Gods, in addition to the Saint Patriarch, even the Twelve Golden Immortals will be controlled by Jiang Ziya.
As long as Jiang Ziya's jade talisman is with him, both Guang Chengzi and Yuding Zhenren will have to come down from the mountain obediently to help.
Similarly, when the two armies faced off, who would fight was also arranged by Jiang Ziya.
In some dangerous battle formations, the Twelve Golden Immortals were in danger of falling, but he didn't want to be the pawn.
Therefore, no matter who you offend when conferring a god, you cannot offend Jiang Ziya, otherwise he will be tricked to death in minutes.
On the other hand, if Jiang Ziya recognizes him as one of his own, there will be many overt and covert benefits.
