No wonder Ji Fa was so excited. A sage who only took hundreds of years to appear appeared in Xiqi.
This is a sage who can move heaven to send merit, and being a sage are two different concepts.
The so-called sage means that a person will be called a sage only after his character and achievements are recognized by the people and his reputation is widely praised.
Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, was also called the Great Sage by the people of Xiqi. It was because Jichang was able to make the people of Xiqi live and work in peace and contentment, and the people were prosperous, that he gained such a good reputation.
However, this is only recognized by the people of one side. Compared with Qi Yuan, who is now directly recognized by Heaven and has made meritorious deeds, the difference between this can really be described as a huge difference.
One is in the sky and the other is on the ground, the difference is huge.
Although he didn't know that Qi Yuan's merits were far inferior to those of the ancient sages, it didn't matter.
The important thing is that it was in Xiqi that Qi Yuan caused the meritorious deeds from heaven.
If this matter spreads, it will definitely attract more people's hearts and more people will come to rely on it.
Now Xiqi has turned against the Yin and Shang. Even though the Yin and Shang are enemies on all sides, their apparent power is still far stronger than that of Xiqi.
Apart from anything else, even now, they just sent Zhang Guifang, which made the Xiqi generals disgraced. If it weren't for the help of the disciples of Chanjiao, a hundred Ji Fa would not be able to defeat Dashang!
Everyone gathered around and praised Qi Yuan, praising him like a flower. Their purpose was to make Qi Yuan stay in Xiqi from now on and serve as a sign for them.
Of course, this kind of words would not be said explicitly, it would just express a little bit of meaning implicitly.
Qi Yuan looked cheerful and pretended not to understand.
He is not stupid. If he stays in Xiqi to benefit others, what else can he gain?
Now that his reputation has become famous enough, it is time for him to pursue higher pursuits, which is impossible to obtain in Xiqi.
Nezha circled Qi Yuan twice and said curiously: "Old man, you..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw everyone staring at him angrily.
Jiang Ziya was also secretly annoyed in his heart, how could this kid speak without any courtesy at all?
When Nezha saw the displeasure on everyone's faces, he reacted and quickly changed his words: "Uh... Well, sir, how did you do it? Please teach me, I also want to feel what it feels like to receive merit from heaven?
"
Although when Master Taiyi refined Nezha into the lotus incarnation, he deliberately grew his body and turned him into the appearance of an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, but his mind was still the same as before. He said whatever he thought of, and there was no trace of it at all.
Have you ever thought that if merit were so easy to obtain, would you still wait for him to come?
Qi Yuan looked at Nezha's curious look and couldn't help but smile: "This is hard to say, easy to say. As long as you have a benevolent heart, do more good deeds, and contribute to the common people, you might be moved at some point.
God will send you merits."
To Nezha, these words were in vain. He didn't have the patience.
What's more, he is cultivating the Immortal Way, and the fundamental purpose of the Immortal Way is to seek immortality. After attaining immortality, what he seeks is to be free between heaven and earth, unrestrained and free, so he is unwilling to tie himself down.
Jiang Ziya was unwilling to let Nezha continue to ask questions, fearing that he would say something ugly again, so he quickly said: "Mr. Rende, Nezha, you need to learn more in the future."
"Yes, uncle."
Nezha curled his lips and agreed.
After Qi Yuan was incarnated by merit just now, his Taoism has improved a lot. He is anxious to practice some more, so he doesn't want to listen to the flattery of this group of people with ulterior motives.
He solemnly bowed his hands to King Wu and said: "King Wu, I have been walking around the world for many years. All I do is to make the people of the world live a better life. But with the power of one person, I want to spread this skill throughout the world. It's too much.
It was a difficult time, so I wrote these three volumes of recipes."
As he spoke, a look of loneliness appeared on his face, and he handed the three volumes of recipes to Ji Fa: "I am old and frail now, and I don't know how many more years I can live. Maybe one day I will lie down and get up."
not coming."
"King Wu has a benevolent heart, and the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment. So I entrusted these three volumes of recipes to King Wu, hoping that they could be passed down to the world in the future so that every household can use them."
Ji Fa quickly stretched out his hands to take it, feeling surprised and moved at the same time: "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your kindness, and your hard work will not be in vain."
Although Qi Yuan did not expressly stated that he would stay in Xiqi from now on, since he could give him the three volumes of recipes that aroused the influence of heaven, it was enough.
In fact, the reason why Qi Yuan gave these volumes of recipes to Ji Fa was just because the Shang Dynasty was destined to perish, and he did not have the ability to defy heaven. Of course, he could not protect the Shang Dynasty. If he wanted to spread his cooking skills to the entire human race, he would
We can only rely on Ji Fa, the future Emperor of Zhou.
After some compliments, everyone saw a look of exhaustion on Qi Yuan's face, so they hurriedly left.
After these people left, Qi Yuan returned to the room and immediately regained his energy.
He was overjoyed in his heart.
After a long time, I suppressed my joy and realized my current level of cultivation, and planned to practice hard for a while.
For the next few months, Qi Yuan lived in seclusion. Apart from spending some time every day giving guidance to people who came to learn the art, he devoted all his thoughts to practice.
After this period of hard work, he finally got out of the awkward entry-level stage and made great progress in his cultivation.
At the very least, he can already perform the Five Elements Escape Technique. He is no longer the same person who struggled to perform the Divine Movement Technique before. There is no need to worry that Qi Yi's cultivation level will surpass his and make him embarrassed.
On this day, an old man came to his yard.
This old man has white hair and long eyebrows, and has an ancient appearance. His face is covered with wrinkles, showing the traces of time. He is wearing a shabby linen clothes and is leaning on a wooden stick. He stands in the yard with a smile and watches Qi Yuan giving instructions to everyone.
Cooking skills.
At first, Qi Yuan thought this old man was an elder in the family of a disciple who was practicing cooking.
However, gradually he felt something was wrong.
Because no one greeted the old man all the time, it was obvious that no one in the yard knew him.
After Qi Yuan finished his work, he saw that the old man was still standing there, so he stepped forward and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"
The old man smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm here for you."
"Come for me?"
Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little strange in his heart, and asked: "I wonder what the matter is, brother?"
"Haha, this is not the place to talk. Can you find a secluded place?"
The old man spoke slowly and unhurriedly.
Qi Yuanda didn't think that such an old man could do anything to him, so he led the old man into the backyard lobby.
After asking the old man to sit down, Qi Yuan asked: "I wonder what I call you?"
The old man smiled softly and said gently: "Old Suiren..."
