Zhuang Wuming forced a smile and said, "There is no other way. In order to survive, sometimes you just have to take risks."
"You are good, very smart, and you dare to take risks," Goat Ao Lie looked at Zhuang Wuming with a smile.
Looking at the smiling goat Ao Lie, Zhuang Wuming felt a strong bad feeling, as if he was about to pay the price for his actions.
Ao Lie narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "I'll tell you a story."
Hearing this, Zhuang Wuming felt very strange. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Aolie's gourd.
But people had to bow their heads under the eaves. He could only listen to Ao Lie's endless stories.
"At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the man who guarded Hangu Pass was named Yin Shan. This man was smart and talented since he was a child, and he was fond of observing astronomy."
"One day when he was observing astronomy, he saw a mighty purple energy coming from the west three thousand miles away."
"Yin Shan immediately concluded that a saint was coming."
"So he resigned from his official position as a doctor and went to the border guard as a customs officer."
"At the beginning of taking office, he ordered a customs officer named Sun Jing to tell him immediately if anyone with strange appearance passed the customs."
"At noon, Yin Shan was taking a nap. Suddenly, he seemed to hear the fairy music in the sky and saw the dense purple air. He suddenly woke up from his dream and saw Sun Jing rushing to report that there was a person with a strange appearance.
The strange man is riding a green bull and is preparing to cross the border."
"When Yin Shan heard Sun Jing's report, he immediately ordered the roads to be cleaned, the guest rooms to be tidied, and he dressed himself and went to greet him."
"When he arrived in front of the old man, he saw that the old man was really extraordinary. His beard and hair were like snow, his face was rosy, his ears were big and his shoulders were big, and his white eyebrows were more than five inches long."
"Yin Xi knelt in front of the old man, bowed respectfully, and asked him to stay in Hangu Pass for a few days."
"The old man refused at first and said: 'I'm just a useless old man. I live in Kanto. I only left the country to carry some firewood. What's the use of keeping me here?'"
"Yin Xi kowtowed and said, 'Last October I observed the sky and saw purple air moving from the east to the west. I knew this was a sign of the saint's actions, so I made a special trip here to wait for you. You don't have to hide it anymore.'"
"The old man smiled and said: 'What exactly do you want me to do?'"
"Yin Xi kowtowed and said: 'Dare you ask the saint about his honor?'"
"'The old man replied: "My surname is Li, my given name is Er, and my courtesy name is Dan.'"
"Li Er saw that Yin Xi was a capable person and agreed to stay temporarily in Hangu Pass. He stayed in Hangu Pass for more than a hundred days, taught Yin Xi the art of cultivation, and left after writing a book of more than 5,000 words.
"
"When parting, Li Er said to Yin Shan, 'It's not that I don't want to take you away, it's just that you haven't mastered your kung fu yet and you must continue to practice. After a thousand days, you can come to me in the Qingyang City of Shu.'" the old man said.
Then we left Hangu Pass."
Hearing this, Zhuang Wuming suddenly realized that the story of me leaving Hangu Pass in the west was different from what he had heard.
"Didn't I disappear when I left Hangu Pass in the west?"
Qingyang Ao Lie looked at Zhuang Wuming and smiled lightly, "There are so many legends and myths in this world, it's just a matter of spreading rumors."
"Later, Li Dan's true body was reincarnated into a family named Li in Shuzhong."
"Ms. Li turned a green dragon into a green sheep and played with the baby all day long."
"After Yin Xi completed "Guan Yinzi", it happened to be 1,000 days after Li Er left. He came to Qingyang City in Chengdu as scheduled, but could not find his master. He was very anxious, but saw a family of children leading a family.
It was a green sheep, and my eyes couldn't help but light up, and I immediately stepped forward to inquire."
"The boy said, 'My master's child likes to play with this green sheep very much. Now this sheep has been missing for two days. Today, he finally found it and is about to take it back.'"
"When Yin Xi heard this, he understood in his heart. He said to the boy, 'When you get home, just say to the boy, 'Yin Xi is here,' okay?'"
"After the boy came home, he followed Yin Xi's instructions and shouted to the child: 'Yin Xi is here!'"
"As soon as he finished speaking, the child immediately broke into laughter. In an instant, a golden lotus throne appeared in the palace. The child was also transformed into a platinum body several feet high, with a halo above his head, sitting on the lotus throne. Said: 'I am Taishang Laojun, I live in the same house as Taiwei. I am one true body and can change at any time. You don't have to be afraid.'"
"Laojun said to Yin Xi again: 'In the past, because you couldn't cultivate enough, I didn't let you go west with me. Now that your merits are complete, it's time to join me in the immortal world.'"
"So I summoned the gods from the immortal world, gave Yin Shan a jade book with gold inscriptions, and named him the supreme real person. Immediately, Laojun ascended to heaven with Yin Shan and the gods."
"Later, people built a Taoist temple in commemoration of the place where Laozi and Yin Shan ascended during the day, and named it "Qingyang Palace"."
Listening to this story, Zhuang Wuming was thoughtful and looked at the green sheep Ao Lie.
"You are the Qinglong who played with me when I was reincarnated during the accident."
Ao Lie nodded and looked at Zhuang Wuming with quiet eyes, "Do you know why I told you this story?"
"I don't know, senior, please don't show off."
"I borrowed the hands of my seniors to deal with the enemy, escape the crisis of life and death, and understand the principle of repaying retaliation."
"If there is any request, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to do it."
Zhuang Wuming was a bachelor and knew that Qingyang Ao Lie definitely wanted to see him for something, otherwise he wouldn't have given him so much nonsense.
A smile appeared on Qingyang Ao Lie's face, he was very satisfied with his bachelor, "You are very good, much better than those stupid people, you understand some sense."
"The reason why I turned into a green sheep is because of a dragon-changing stick. This thing is made from the bones of ancient real dragons and is specially designed to restrain all dragons in the world."
"Under its power, I have been transformed into a green sheep for thousands of years, with no way to regain my dragon body."
"I have reached the pinnacle of my cultivation. Only by destroying the power of this dragon-turning stick can I restore my true body, complete my merits, and go further."
"So I want you to help me find the Dragon Transformation Stick. I need it to release my bonds."
Zhuang Wuming's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, "The Dragon Transformation Stick is so powerful, it's probably one of the most valuable treasures. How am I going to find it?"
Aolie Goat's face showed a smile, "I ask you to find the real Dragon Transformation Stick, but you will never find it, because it is in the Tianshi Cave in Qingcheng Mountain."
"It has been made into Zhang Daoling's whisk in Tianshi Cave. If you go there, I'm afraid you will be beaten into ashes in an instant."
Zhuang Wuming was horrified when he heard this, "Zhang Daoling? He is in the Tianshi Cave in Qingcheng Mountain?"
Looking at his horrified eyes, Ao Lie seemed to be very interested, "You come from the outside world, so you are probably very strange about the existence of this world."
"This world has existed for a long time, and we have some sense of the outside world and know some things."
"It's definitely not possible for you to go directly to the Tianshi Cave to get the dragon stick."
