Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another hundred years have passed. At this time, Emperor Yi was in power in China. Emperor Yi was also a talented and strategic monarch. When he took the throne, he went to conquer the north and south, and used iron and blood to suppress the eight hundred princes who were ready to move.

He was ordered to come to Yindu on time every year to meet with him, and all the eight hundred princes obeyed. For this reason, Yindu was renamed Chaoge.

There is a Song family village twenty miles outside Chaoge City. There is a young man named Jiang Shang in the village, whose courtesy name is Ziya. Jiang Shang is devoted to Taoism and has long wanted to go out to seek immortality. However, because his mother is still alive, he cannot

It never happened.

In the fourth year of Emperor Yi's reign, Jiang Ziya's mother passed away. After Ziya buried her mother, he began to travel around, looking for immortals and visiting Taoism, in order to achieve enlightenment, but unfortunately he never met the destiny of immortality.

On this day, Ziya came to an unknown mountain. He saw green trees on the mountain, which were like a fairyland, and people couldn't help but be intoxicated. Just when Ziya was fascinated by the beautiful scenery in the mountain, he heard a burst of singing coming from the mountain.

"Early in the morning, the lotus leaves go up the hillside. At night, the sky is filled with stars. When you are thirsty, you will drink from the mountain spring. When you are tired, you will sit quietly and listen to the songs of the birds."

Jiang Ziya raised his eyes and saw a woodcutter wearing a short-sleeve shirt and a sturdy back walking out of the forest. Jiang Shang saw that his appearance was extraordinary and his few songs had profound artistic conception, so he couldn't help but stop him to start a conversation.

"Brother, stay here, I am so polite!" Although Jiang Ziya has not practiced immortality, he has always regarded himself as a monk, so he calls himself Pindao and gives himself a Taoist name - Flying Bear!

When the woodcutter heard this, he stopped and saw that Jiang Shang was wearing Taoist robes. He quickly asked, "I wonder why Chang stopped me here?"

When Jiang Shang heard this, he hurriedly said: "I heard that your Excellency's song has a profound artistic conception. I wonder who composed it?"

When the woodcutter heard this, he answered honestly: "I heard this when I was young at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, but I don't know who did it?"

Jiang Shang was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said: "I wonder if you would be willing to point out the direction for Pindao. Pindao would be very grateful!"

When the woodcutter heard this, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Shang in confusion. Upon seeing this, Jiang Shang hurriedly explained: "I have been looking for immortals and Taoists for the next few years, but I have never been able to find immortality. I just listened to your song. It is not like the songs of ordinary people."

I did it, but I wanted to go and find out."

When the woodcutter heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "How can there be any immortals in this world? Those immortals are just made up by our ancestors."

Jiang Shang heard the words and couldn't help but said seriously: "You are wrong! Immortals do exist. You have not heard of the creation of the human race. The Holy Master personally taught me the three ancestors of the human race. Later, the three ancestors came down to earth to teach the three emperors of heaven, earth, and humans. Furthermore,

The martial arts, military arts, and Confucianism that are prevalent in the world today are all inheritances left by the holy masters, but they are just things that you and I are not lucky enough to see."

After saying this, Jiang Shang stopped and looked at the woodcutter, and continued: "As long as you become an immortal, you can jump out of the three realms, transcend the five elements, and no longer have to suffer the pain of reincarnation. Moreover, the immortals will travel to Beihai Mu Cangwu. Look,

The beauty of heaven and earth is boundless, and the feeling of freedom is boundless."

When Jiang Shang finished speaking, the woodcutter threw away the firewood on his shoulders and said, "In that case, let's leave now."

Jiang Ziya heard this and said confusedly: "Oh, us? Where are you going, sir?"

Hearing this, the woodcutter couldn't help laughing and said: "Of course we are going to seek immortality and Taoism together. I have been deeply attracted by the life described by the Taoist priest, but I am planning to go with the Taoist priest to become a disciple and seek Taoism."

Jiang Shang was overjoyed when he heard this: "In that case, brother, let's arrange things at home and let's hit the road."

When the woodcutter heard this, he said: "My parents died when I was young, leaving only a thatched house and a quilt, but there is nothing to arrange. Since I have decided to become a disciple and become an immortal, I don't mind having these extraneous things."

Jiang Ziya laughed when he heard this and said, "I didn't expect my brother to be so open-minded!"

When the woodcutter heard this, he smiled and said: "A heart for the Tao is inferior to that of a Taoist priest!" After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward.

As the two walked and chatted, they began to get familiar with each other. It turned out that the woodcutter's name was Shen Gongbao. At this time, the two of them were chatting and laughing, but no one would have expected that the man next to them would be their lifelong enemy.

Opponent.

On this day, after a long journey, Jiang Shang and Shen Gongbao finally arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Looking at the mountains in front of them covered with clouds and fog, they couldn't help but sigh.

Just when the two of them were sighing, they heard the cry of a crane from the sky. They quickly looked up and saw a huge red-crowned crane flying from high altitude. After seeing the two of them, it folded its wings and landed.

In front of the two of them.

After the crane landed on the ground, it turned into a handsome boy in the blink of an eye. The boy tilted his head and looked at the two of them for a while, muttering: "Didn't I say just one? Why are there two?" Under confusion,

, but the boy asked loudly: "Which one of you is here to become a disciple?"

When Jiang Shang and Shen Gongbao heard this, they hurriedly said: "We are devoted to the Tao, but we came together to find the destiny of immortality!"

The boy was slightly stunned when he heard this, and after thinking for a long time, he decided to take the two of them back to the mountain together, so he transformed back into his true form, ordered the two of them to climb on his back, and carried them up the mountain.

Why did the boy Baihe come to greet the two of them? It turned out that Yuanshi Tianzun was preaching to his disciples today. Suddenly, on a whim, he calculated with his fingers that the man who had been granted the title of god came to worship him, so he hurriedly called the boy Baihe.

Let him go to the foot of the mountain to bring the apprentice to Yuxu Palace.

After a while, Boy Baihe brought Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao to the door of Yuxu Palace. After ordering the two to wait at the door, they hurried in to report. A moment later, Boy Baihe came out again and took the two people into the main hall.

middle.

The two of them took a peek and saw that on both sides of the hall, fifteen immortals with three flowers on their heads were listening to the sermon. Behind these fifteen people, there were dozens of immortals surrounded by immortal energy who were listening attentively.

As for the cloud bed directly in front of the hall, a Taoist with thick eyebrows and a calm expression was sitting. On top of this Taoist was a Qingyun that was several acres in size. There were thousands of golden flowers on the Qingyun, and there were

Necklaces and beads hang down in an endless stream, as straight as water dripping from the eaves.

Seeing this, Jiang and Shang knew that their fate as immortals had arrived, but they hurriedly paid homage to Yuanshi Tianzun: "Disciple Jiang Ziya (Shen Gongbao) pays homage to the immortal master. We are devoted to the Tao and hope that the immortal master will accept it."

Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this, but he couldn't tell who of the two was the person who could confer the god. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to accept them all as his disciples, so he said to the two of them: "You two explain to me

If you are destined to teach me, you should become my second-generation disciple."

The two were overjoyed when they heard this and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Disciple pays homage to the teacher."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly when he heard the words, and then told everyone: "Let's end this sermon! Anji, take your two junior brothers to have a rest first, and tomorrow you will pass on the Yuqing Immortal Technique on your behalf!"

"Yes!" The Antarctic Immortal Old Man hurriedly agreed upon hearing this, and then led the two of them out of the hall to where the second-generation disciples lived.

After the two of them were settled, the Antarctic Immortal took out a Jade Pure Immortal Jue from his arms and said to the two of them: "You two can practice here first. If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me at any time."

After saying that, he turned around to leave.

Upon seeing this, Shen Gongbao hurriedly grabbed the Antarctic Immortal and said, "Senior brother, please go slowly. I still have something to ask you!"

When the Antarctic Immortal heard this, he quickly stopped and said, "Junior brother, please tell me if you have anything to say."

When Shen Gongbao saw the Antarctic Immortal stopped, he hurriedly asked: "I wonder if people who cultivate immortality should give up their original names and choose another Taoist name for themselves?"

The Nanji Immortal smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "I, as a cultivator, do need to give myself a Taoist name, but I don't have to forget my original name. There are not a few monks in the three realms who use their original names as Taoist names. I don't know why my junior brother has it.

This question?"

Shen Gongbao's face turned red when he heard this, but he hurriedly explained: "Junior brother heard that Ziya gave himself a Taoist name called Fei Xiong before, so he thought that all Taoists need to put down their original names. Since this is not the case, then I will still call him Shen Gongbao.

Forget it!" He said no more words.

Jiang Shang's face turned slightly red when he heard this. He had the same idea as Shen Gongbao. To be honest, Shen Gongbao had this idea, but he was 100% misled by himself.

What the two of them didn't know was that just when Shen Gongbao said Jiang Shangdao's name, Yuanshi Tianzun, who was secretly observing, couldn't help but murmured to himself: "Flying Bear? Jiang Shang? It seems that the person who canonize the god is Jiang Ziya."

Got it!"

From then on, Yuanshi Tianzun treated the two of them differently. He only taught Shen Gongbao a few points and allowed him to understand on his own; while he taught Jiang Ziya carefully and took great care of him.

But what makes Yuanshi Tianzun depressed is that Jiang Ziya is extremely slow in cultivating the Tao. He worked hard and spent countless geniuses and treasures before he could barely upgrade his cultivation to the late stage of Tianxian, which was still far away from the realm of Taiyi Sanxian.

There is no end in sight; but Shen Gongbao, who was left to his own devices, has made rapid progress. In less than thirty years, he has cultivated to the level of Taiyi True Immortal, and is about to reach the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Yuanshi Tianzun was puzzled for a long time. It was not until he discovered that Jiang Ziya had an extraordinary understanding of Qimen Dunjia and military strategies that he was relieved. It turned out that Jiang Ziya would become a god on behalf of heaven in the future, but in this life he had no chance of immortality and could only live in the human world.

Enjoy wealth and honor. From then on, Yuanshi Tianzun began to teach him military strategies and no longer forced him to practice immortal arts.

Because of Yuanshi Tianzun's obvious favoritism, the Chanjiao Immortals were very protective of Jiang Ziya, but became indifferent to Shen Gongbao. Shen Gongbao was not angry, but did not want to look at the faces of his senior brothers. In addition, he was successful in practicing Taoism at this time, so he simply

After leaving Kunlun Mountain and traveling in the ancient world, he became close friends and became close friends with many disciples of Jie Jiao.

What Shen Gongbao didn't know was that just before he left Kunlun Mountain, a Jiejiao disciple named Wen Zhong also left Jin'ao Island and returned to Chaoge in loneliness.

That Wen Zhong was originally the first disciple of the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit of the Jie Cult. He was born with an extra eye between his eyebrows than ordinary people. It is the most capable of deterring evil spirits and identifying loyalties and traitors. After only two hundred years of practice, he has reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

, in terms of magical power, it is not inferior to Daluo Jinxian.

After Wen Zhong came down from the mountain, he went directly to the court to meet Emperor Yi. With his extraordinary skills and integrity, he quickly gained Emperor Yi's trust and was entrusted with important tasks by Emperor Yi.

For decades, Wen Zhong continued to conquer the east and west for Emperor Yi, and made great military exploits. He was appointed as a grand master by Emperor Yi, responsible for teaching the third prince Yin Shou. Together with Prime Minister Shang Rong, he was cited by Emperor Yi as a grand master.

Left and right arms.

On this day, Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu sent someone to report that the tribes of Dongyi gathered at the border again with the intention of provoking a war. Emperor Yi was furious when he heard this and wanted to send his grand master Wen Zhong to go on an expedition. Unexpectedly, another news came.

King Pingling of Beihai rebelled and was coming to Chaoge.
