Seeing that his two younger brothers and fellow villagers were in a low mood, Zhang Jiao comforted him:

"Don't be discouraged, there is no hurdle in this world that cannot be overcome.

The money is covered by Zhang Jiao. I, Zhang Jiao, will find a way to solve everyone’s taxes!"

Zhang Jiao's words were loud and the eyes of the villagers beside him regained a little hope.

When he heard Zhang Jiao say this, Zhang Liang, who was standing next to him, said anxiously:

"Brother, no! You can't go into the mountains to collect herbs!"

Zhang Liang is the youngest of the three Zhang brothers. He is very delicate and dressed in a scholarly casual dress, looking like a Confucian scholar in the academy.

However, due to his poverty, Zhang Liang had no chance to study at the Imperial Academy since he was a child, so he could only buy a few books to read.

Under Zhang Jiao's teaching, he can be considered successful in his studies.

Because his parents died early, in Zhang Liang's mind, his elder brother Zhang Jiao was like his father.

Zhang Jiao was extremely intelligent since childhood and read poetry and books at a young age. He is a famous young hero in Julu County.

He originally wanted to be a filial and honest official, benefit the people and show his ambitions.

However, the treacherous ministers were in power, and the rise of the court was controlled by a group of eunuchs and slander officials.

A talented man from a poor family like Zhang Jiao has no chance to become an official.

Zhang Jiao, who failed to seek official positions several times, was discouraged and returned to his hometown and had two brothers making a living by farming the fields.

Because Zhang Jiao is capable and loyal, the villagers in all corners of the countryside follow him.

Under Zhang Jiao's leadership, everyone can always think of some ways to make money, and their lives are pretty good.

Until Zhao Tuo was appointed as the governor of Julu County, the good days for the people were over.

The harsh taxes were too heavy, and the villagers had no way to survive. Zhang Jiao had no choice but to go to the mountains to collect herbs and subsidize the taxes for the villagers.

However, miasma is everywhere in the mountains and wild animals are rampant. Entering the mountains to collect herbs to squeeze people's bodies is very serious.

Every time Zhang Jiao goes to the mountain to collect medicine, his health becomes worse.

This led to Zhang Jiao now being a young man in his thirties, but he looked like a middle-aged man in his forties.

Zhang Liang saw Zhang Jiao's changes and was anxious about them. He was afraid that Zhang Jiao would not live long after going to the mountain to pick medicine a few more times.

Zhang Jiao waved his hand to Zhang Liang and said:

"I have decided, no need to say much."

He knew that Zhang Liang was concerned about him, and he also knew that going to the mountains to collect herbs would increase the load on his body's talismans.

But what can I do?

Did you watch the villagers be forced to death by the dog thief Zhao Tuo?

The next morning, Zhang Jiao walked into the mountain with a bamboo basket on his back to collect herbs.

The miasma in the mountains was deep and I couldn't see my five fingers.

Zhang Jiao groped through the surrounding stone walls and walked forward with difficulty in the mountains.

This time, the tax increased by Zhao Tuo has become even more harsh. It is necessary to collect more precious herbs to help the villagers overcome the difficulties.

Zhang Jiao collected it all morning and found a few precious medicinal herbs, but compared with the harsh taxes, these medicinal herbs are obviously a drop in the bucket.

After noon, the miasma in the mountains gradually dissipated, which made Zhang Jiao very happy.

With the increased visibility, his efficiency in collecting medicinal materials will definitely be greatly improved.

While he was searching for medicinal herbs, he suddenly saw an old man with white hair in front of him.

The old man was wearing a white robe and holding a quinoa stick in his hand. He was born with a blue-eyed and childlike face, as if he was a true immortal.

This person is the old immortal of Nanhua.

It turned out that the old immortal from Nanhua came out of the mountain and calculated the location of the destined person.

When he found that his destined person should be in Julu Mountain, he came here to wait.

When I saw it today, the horn in front of me was indeed my destined person.

The old immortal Nanhua took a few steps forward and asked Zhang Jiao with a smile:

"Young man, miasma is rampant in the mountains. Why are you entering the mountains at this time?"

Zhang Jiao was also a little tired at this time. He thought that the old man looked good, so he could talk to him for a few words, so he said to the old immortal Nanhua:

"The harsh government is more powerful than the tiger. In order to keep the villagers alive, they have to go to the mountains to collect herbs."

After hearing this, the old fairy Nanhua couldn't help but nodded secretly. This horn is really kind-hearted and deserves to be the one he chose.

He continued to say to Zhang Jiao:

"Don't you agree that it's so harmful to people?"

Zhang Jiao thought Nanhua was a hermit in the mountains and was ignorant of the world, so he replied:

"The father-in-law doesn't know what it is. When the son is stupid today, the court has many treacherous and slandered people.

The harsh taxes are becoming more and more stringent. The world is like this. So what if we don’t agree with it?”

The old immortal Nanhua caressed his beard and smiled:

"This is the way of the world, then change the way of the world!"

As soon as Nanhua's old immortal said this, Zhang Jiao was scared.

How can you say something like a world change?

If someone is listening to this, you will be incredible to blame you for being a treason for rebellion.

Zhang Jiao looked around nervously and found that there was no one else. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Nanhua:

"Please be careful when your father-in-law, you will be known by the minions of the court. You may be punished with a serious crime."

After hearing Zhang Jiao's words, Nanhua felt angry and funny.

Decide me, Nanhua's old immortal?

When did secular dynasties become so awesome?

However, he also knew that Zhang Jiao was doing his best, so he agreed with Zhang Jiao even more, so he just showed up with him.

The old immortal Nanhua had a quinoa stick in his hand, and a blue sky suddenly appeared under his feet, lifting him up two meters high.

He looked down at Zhang Jiao and said in a misty voice:

"I am the old immortal of Nanhua, Taiqing Palace. In my eyes, the change of secular dynasties is nothing but a game.

What kind of virtue do the imperial minions do you dare to condemn my sins?"

Damn?! This is such a living god!

The old immortal Nanhua rose up directly in the clouds, shocking Zhang Jiao's chin.

Everyone has heard of the sayings of ghosts and gods, but they are just hearing about it. Who would have thought that one day they would see a living god!

Zhang Jiao quickly apologized to the old immortal Nanhua:

"I don't know if it was an immortal who came in person, and he collided with the immortal. Please forgive me!"

After saying that, kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Seeing that the purpose was achieved, the old immortal Nanhua landed on the ground.

With a wave of his long sleeves, a stream of air suddenly lifted Zhang Jiao up.

The old immortal Nanhua smiled at Zhang Jiao:

"Zhang Jiao, you care about the people, have a kind heart, and are qualified to pass on my inheritance.

I have three volumes of the Heavenly Book, and I am now granted to you. Are you willing to learn it?"

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao was ecstatic and kowtowed to the old fairy Nanhua crazily:

"Disciple is willing to learn! Of course, I am willing to learn!"

This is a living god. Now he wants to pass on his own legacy?!

This can no longer be explained by the pie falling from the sky. This is a mountain of gold falling from the sky!

Fools don't want to learn.

Once I, Zhang Jiao, learned the magic of immortals, what else can stop me in this world?

At that time, I will let the whole world know my Zhang Jiao’s name!

Zhang Jiao was not a person who lived under a long life, but the world was wasted, which forced him to stay dormant until now.

But at this moment, the opportunity for fish to jump over the dragon gate was right in front of you, and Zhang Jiao returned to his former ambitions.

All of this was seen by the old immortal Nanhua. When he saw Zhang Jiao's ambitions swell, he was secretly happy.

I'm not afraid of you having ambitions, but I'm afraid you're a coward.
