Chapter 45 If there is an afterlife
After being held hostage by Chen Mang, Zhao Min left a secret code along the way and asked the court to send troops to rescue him.
King Ruyang, who received the tip, found out that it was the Wudang faction that he had kidnapped his daughter. In furious, he personally led an army of 30,000 to encircle and suppress Wudang.
However, as soon as he arrived in Huguang, before his butt was still hot, he was poisoned with his 30,000 troops and took his cavalry to the west.
At the same time, Chen Youliang revolted in Xiangyang, and the entire Huguang was restored within one day, which shocked the world.
The court launched 300,000 troops and sent Zhao Min's brother Wang Baobao as a general to wipe out Chen Youliang, and fought a great battle with Chen Youliang's army along the Yangtze River.
At this time, the rebel king Zhang Shicheng took the opportunity to lead an army of 100,000 from Liaodong and penetrated directly into the rear of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty!
Zhu Yuanzhang led his army from Chang'an to the west and took the capital. The Mongol Yuan Dynasty was attacked from both sides and the army retreated step by step, and the entire empire was in turmoil.
Three months later, Chen Youliang, who defeated Wang Baobao, went north and joined Zhu Yuanzhang who took the capital, and Zhang Shicheng, who came from Liaodong. The three parties worked together to completely drive the Yuan people out of the Central Plains.
At the end of the year, Zhu Yuanzhang and two senior brothers lost in the palace, and they reluctantly founded the country and became emperor, and the country was called the Huaxia Empire.
Three years later, the world was settled. The Chinese Empire started from Persia in the west and ended in the Americas in the east. It was several times stronger than when it was at the peak of the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty. The entire European continent was trembling under the breath of this monster.
Fifty years later, Zhu Yuanzhang, who unified the world, abdicated in Zhang Shicheng's grandson, Zhang Danfeng, the most loved disciple of Chen Mang, ran to Wudang Mountain and cried. Finally, he returned to Chen Mang's disciple as he wished and never went to Wudang again.
In another fifty years, Zhang Danfeng reformed the imperial system into the cabinet electoral system. The person elected finally called the head of state and served as the essential ruler of the Chinese Empire. The emperor became an honorary title, and the descendants of the Zhu, Zhang and Chen families took turns to serve.
After another fifty years, Chen Mang drove his sixth generation disciple, Wang Yangming, down the mountain and came alone to Tianzhu Peak where he first met Zhang Sanfeng.
Looking at Zhang Sanfeng, who was sitting cross-legged under the pine and cypress, Chen Mang sighed and said, "Old Zhang, you are 200 years old this year. It seems that you are not 300 years old. You can really live!"
Zhang Sanfeng slowly opened his eyes and said, "No matter how long he can live, he will die one day. Now that my deadline is approaching, you don't seem sad, but it makes me feel more at ease."
Chen Mang smiled and said, "I'm so sad. Let me tell you the truth. In fact, my life span has already ended. The reason why I used the secret method to prolong my life is to see how long you can live!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Zhang Sanfeng laughed loudly. After laughing for a long time, he covered his stomach that was sore and said, "You are still as bored as before. You have not changed at all for more than 200 years. Seeing that I am about to die, can you answer my questions?"
"Ask."
Looking at Chen Mang's appearance of being speechless, Zhang Sanfeng breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to ask: "There is really a land god named Zhang Sanfeng on Wudang Mountain? I have lived as if I had been pretending to be his name for so long, but I haven't seen him once, so I feel ashamed."
Chen Mang was happy and asked him back, "You can leave the body now, right?"
Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said, "Yes."
"You are comparable to Damo now, right?"
"Although I have never seen Bodhidharma, I believe I am not inferior to him."
"It is comparable to Bodhidharma, and you can travel to Yang Shen, then you are Zhang Sanfeng!"
"I am Zhang Sanfeng? So I am Zhang Sanfeng!"
Zhang Sanfeng was stunned at first, then looked amused and crying, pointing at Chen Mang and scolding: "You are a bastard, why don't I hide my identity from you for six years, but you lied to me for more than two hundred years! You also said that I have a strong desire to take revenge, so what do you mean?"
Chen Mang laughed and said, "Anyway, I'm idle, so I have to have some fun."
Zhang Sanfeng sighed helplessly, then looked at Chen Mang with a hint of expectation: "My life is very perfect. The only regret is that I have never seen the scenery above the golden elixir. Now that I am about to die, can you let me see it?"
"no problem."
Chen Mang's face turned solemn and lowered his head. Facing a mountain in the northeast, he mobilized all his magic power. In an instant, all the wrinkles on Chen Mang's face disappeared, and all the white hair turned into black hair!
"The Buddha Ksitigarbha, the Great Powerful Heavenly Dragon!"
"Move the mountains!"
I saw an extremely huge golden dragon descending from the sky to curb the mountain. The next moment, the entire mountain rumbled and swayed, then rose up from the ground, and moved steadily to a valley next to Tianzhu Peak.
Seeing such a miracle, Zhang Sanfeng smiled at the sky and said, "I knew, I knew there were other realms above the Golden Pill, hahahaha!"
After a moment, Zhang Sanfeng, who was satisfied, slowly stopped laughing and closed his eyes.
A generation of masters passed away.
At this time, Qing'er's figure suddenly appeared beside Chen Mang, and sighed, "I sent another one away, I feel very uncomfortable."
Chen Mang smiled and shaved her nose and said, "Birth, old age, sickness, death, love, hate, separation, this is life! How about it, is it okay to be a human being?"
Qing'er's body trembled, and then she smiled relievedly: "When did you find out?"
Chen Mang scratched his head and recalled: "It must have been to Guangmingding that time. Your performance that time was so amazing. Once you passed through the complex underground palace of Guangmingding, I guess your soul has been completely awakened."
Qing'er nodded and said, "It's almost that time, and then I recovered my memories of my previous life."
"What happened after I died back then, why did you come to this world?"
"After I killed you, the furious Fahai beat me to death and avenged you. After that, my soul was sucked into a black hole with you and reincarnated into this world together."
Chen Mang said thoughtfully: "So that's the case, the root cause is still in me."
Qing'er nodded, then said sadly: "Since I was a child, I have often dreamed of some memories of my previous life, and the one I dreamed of the most was you. Over the past two hundred years, I have become accustomed to having you by my side. If you are not by my side in the next life, I don't know how to live."
Chen Mang touched her smooth neck and said softly: "If there is a next life, I will marry you."
Qing'er smiled sweetly and leaned on Chen Mang's shoulder. The two of them sat down slowly and looked at the scenery of Wudang Mountain. The picture was frozen.
On that day, the news of the divine dragon coming to the world and welcoming the three immortals of Wudang ascend to heaven spread wildly.
The world was shocked.
The new head of state Wang Yangming ordered the whole world to celebrate for three days, so that the whole world would celebrate the three immortals ascend to the fairy world.
The story of the Three Immortals of Wudang has been widely circulated in the world since then. Later generations also compiled Chen Mang's experience into a monster novel, named "Under One Person", telling the story of how he cultivated immortality and became the first person under the world.
