Chapter 146 This is what I stole from your senior brothers (Please subscribe)

Facts speak louder than words!

As the jade pipa fell to the ground and shattered, the onlookers immediately realized that Jiang Ziya had been wronged. This old fortune-teller was really capable!

"It turns out to be a monster. We thought..."

"I'm sorry, old immortal! We have wronged you. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with us mortals."

"Thank you, old immortal, for saving us. We were almost deceived by the evil spirit."

"..."

Among the onlookers, some apologized with shame, some bowed to express their gratitude, and the few big men who had just been rough with Jiang Ziya knelt down and admitted their mistakes, as if they were afraid that Jiang Ziya would punish them.

The people are extremely respectful to the "immortals".

Jiang Ziya stood up somewhat awkwardly and reached out to brush off the dust on his clothes. Although he did have some skills, he was still a long way from the "immortal" realm that the people talked about.

He was indeed a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of these people, so he had to wave his hands repeatedly to indicate that he had only accidentally discovered the trace of the evildoer.

"Everyone, there is no need to be polite. I just noticed that this evildoer had transformed into a human form, but I was not the one who eliminated this evildoer."

Amid the praises from the crowd, Jiang Ziya tried his best to maintain a gentle smile.

Even though he kept explaining that he didn't get rid of the monster, the people still regarded him as a god who came down to earth to eliminate monsters!

This was also because he had a strange appearance and a thin body. Although his hair and beard were all white, his complexion was ruddy and he rarely frowned, making him look like an immortal.

No wonder the people regarded him as an old immortal.

Yang Ling, as a real "immortal" and the one who punished the Jade Pipa Fairy personally, did not attract much attention.

Of course, this was also because he took the initiative to use the upright shadowless technique to conceal his aura and reduce his presence.

Seeing that Jiang Ziya was a little tired of resisting the people's enthusiasm, Yang Ling smiled and said, "Junior Brother Ziya, why don't you come to my clinic and have a cup of tea?"

When Jiang Ziya heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He was worrying about how to get out of this situation, and now that he had this excuse, he naturally couldn't ask for more.

He nodded in agreement quickly, no longer caring about the simple fortune-telling stall.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. Thank you very much."

Jiang Ziya hurriedly followed Yang Ling and left towards the clinic together.

Upon seeing this, the people stopped arguing and dispersed, but their topic still revolved around the thrilling scene that just happened.

It can be imagined that after today, there will be another strange thing in Chaoge City.

……

After arriving at the clinic, Yang Ling led Jiang Ziya through the front hall and into the innermost quiet room.

This is where Yang Ling usually stays when he comes to the clinic. It is used to treat difficult patients. It is decorated simply and elegantly, and the air is filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.

Yang Ling first sat down in the main seat at the top, then pointed to the cushion opposite the desk, motioning Jiang Ziya to sit down.

As soon as Jiang Ziya took his seat, a maid walked in lightly, holding an exquisite tea tray with two white porcelain teacups and a small teapot on it.

The tea is ordinary tea, not the magical tea that cultivators often drink. It does not have the effect of helping people practice and increase their magic power.

However, it has a rich flavor and fragrant aroma, and is also a rare good tea.

After the maid finished pouring the tea and bowed and left, Jiang Ziya stood up and bowed solemnly, "If it weren't for my senior brother's help today, I would have been hurt by that evildoer.

Ziya would like to thank Senior Brother for his help. "

Yang Ling heard him calling him "Senior Brother" all the time, which was obviously a gesture of goodwill, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Ziya, you and I are both from the Xuanmen, and helping each other is our duty, so why should we be so polite?

Besides, now that I have seen that evildoer, I cannot just sit there and do nothing."

Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "It seems that Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi is right. Senior Brother is really a man who hates evil and is generous and straightforward."

"I can't say I hate evil."

As Yang Ling spoke, he picked up the teacup and motioned for Jiang Ziya to drink the tea.

"But I am of human origin, so I cannot bear to see those evildoers persecuting my people."

Jiang Ziya's heart moved slightly when he heard this.

During the forty years that he practiced Taoism in Kunlun, he was once somewhat resentful of the fact that he was born into the human race.

Because when he was on Mount Kunlun, very few of the immortals and gods he saw around him were of human origin.

Let alone, among the Twelve Golden Immortals who are almost equivalent to the business card of the Chan Sect, none of them was born in the human race.

As acquired creatures, humans do not have outstanding talents.

In the previous Chan Sect, there was not even a single human disciple!

All of the human disciples in the Chan Sect, including Jiang Ziya, were accepted within the last hundred years or so.

Jiang Ziya once asked this question out of curiosity. The person he asked was Nan Ji Xian Weng, the first disciple of the Chan sect who had profound Taoism attainments.

However, the eldest senior brother who always answered questions did not answer this question. He just smiled mysteriously and said: You will know it in the future.

Now Jiang Ziya has come down the mountain.

He also roughly understood the answer to this question.

Everything is for the purpose of becoming a god!
The reason why the Chan Sect has been recruiting disciples frequently in the past hundred years is that even the Twelve Golden Immortals have been recruiting disciples everywhere...

All of this was planned in advance to deal with the great calamity of the Conferred God! In a sense, the newly recruited disciples were just pawns used to deal with the calamity, and they might be abandoned one day.

He, Jiang Ziya, is just a chess piece!
This is why he was able to worship Jade Purity Saint as his teacher even though he had mediocre talent and achieved almost nothing in forty years of practicing Taoism!

He is the most important chess piece!
It was precisely because he understood this that Jiang Ziya was unwilling to follow the path planned for him by Yuanshi Tianzun.

It was Yun Zhongzi's comfort and encouragement that gave him courage.

Only then did he decide to enter the secular world and practice cultivation!

Since he has been away from the mortal world for forty years and has not been able to become an immortal, he decided to change his mindset. This time he would go deeper into the mortal world and become an immortal!

The Yang Ling sitting in front of him right now is a master who practices in the mortal world!

Jiang Ziya knew that this was a rare opportunity.

Jiang Ziya gently put down the teacup in his hand, with a hint of determination in his eyes. He took a deep breath, stood up and bowed to Yang Ling, and said sincerely: "When I came down the mountain this time, I still had some thoughts of continuing to practice in the world.

It’s just that the turbidity in this world and the entanglement of cause and effect have deeply disturbed me and I can’t calm down… Senior Brother, you are very advanced in Taoism, I wonder if you can teach me?”

Yang Ling was slightly stunned, thinking to himself, I was just worrying about how to get closer to you, but you just came to me on your own initiative.

Yang Ling has always valued Jiang Ziya, who was able to be deified on behalf of heaven.

Otherwise, he would not have come to Chaoge so early and specially bought the yard next door just to wait for Jiang Ziya to arrive.

Now that the other party has taken the initiative to show goodwill and even asked for his guidance in cultivation, Yang Ling naturally has no reason to refuse.

He put down the teacup and laughed loudly, "Brother Ziya, it is a good thing that you have this intention. In the world of cultivation, the most important thing is the heart of Tao!
First of all, we must experience the various aspects of life and understand the joys and sorrows of the world...

How about this, you just follow me for the next few days and interact with all kinds of people to train your Tao heart. "

Hearing Yang Ling readily agree, and also intending to bring him along to give him personal guidance, Jiang Ziya's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise.

He stood up quickly and bowed respectfully: "Then Ziya would like to thank you, Senior Brother."

In the following days, Jiang Ziya's life quickly entered a new rhythm.

He followed Yang Ling every day, going from various shops to medical clinics and charity halls, and met all kinds of people and things.

Sometimes busy, sometimes leisurely.

After a period of time, Jiang Ziya found that his Taoism had not improved much, but he became more and more like a human being!
Jiang Ziya didn't know whether this was good or bad.

However, he discovered that Yang Ling's business was very big. Not only did he have many shops in Chaoge, he was also a well-known wealthy businessman in the southeast of Dashang.

Although his business is big, he does not pursue profits excessively.

Almost most of the profits were invested in medical clinics and charity halls in various places. These medical clinics and charity halls consumed a lot of money every day and also caused a lot of trouble.

Jiang Ziya couldn't help but feel a little curious, not understanding why Yang Ling would spend so much effort to open a clinic and a charity.

One day, when the two were drinking tea in the backyard of the clinic, Jiang Ziya couldn't help but ask his doubts: "I think the expenses of this clinic and charity hall are too high, and there are many troubles. I really don't understand why you want to maintain it?
Could it be that Brother is trying to earn merit through this?"

Hearing this, Yang Ling put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Ziya, the fact that you ask this shows that you have not yet fully integrated into the world of mortals.

In this world, there is no need for a reason to do good, nor is there any need to always think about merit. A person may do good simply because of a moment of compassion, or to atone for sins...

In short, there are many reasons to do good, and the reason why I set up the clinic and charity hall is very simple... I have earned too much wealth. "

Jiang Ziya: "..."

Although these words sounded a bit unpleasant, he knew they were all true.

At first he thought that the money Yang Ling used for charity came from immortal magic. Later, when he personally came into contact with the Yang family business that was spread all over Da Shang, he was surprised to find that this senior brother from the Human Sect actually started from scratch and grew little by little to the point of being rich enough to rival a country!

And this only took a dozen years.

Look at himself. He has been relying on the help of his childhood friends to survive for several months after going down the mountain. If he relies on himself to tell fortunes and predict people's fortunes, he often doesn't earn a penny for many days in a row.

He also tried to start a small business at the suggestion of a good friend, but he lost everything soon after.

In comparison, the difference is not even a little bit.

"Money is just a bunch of numbers if you don't spend it, so doing good is a way for me to spend my money... As for whether I do it to earn merit?"

Yang Ling looked at Jiang Ziya, nodded slightly and said: "To be honest, I do have this idea."

His mind moved slightly, and immediately an acre-sized cloud of merit and celebration appeared and floated in the sky above his head.

"See? Merit is a good thing. When there are enough of it, it can condense into a cloud of celebration to protect oneself and boost one's luck."

Jiang Ziya's eyes flashed with envy, "I have only seen Brother Yu Ding's Qingyun before. That Qingyun is colorful and makes people yearn for it."

Yang Ling listened to Jiang Ziya's words, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes revealed a hint of amusement: "Junior Brother Ziya, the Qingyun you see now is actually part of what I stole from your Senior Brother Yuding."

"what?!"

Jiang Ziya's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said in disbelief, "You stole Brother Yu Ding's Merit and Celebration Cloud?"

"There's more..." Yang Ling pointed at the auspicious cloud above his head and said casually, "The remaining auspicious cloud of merit comes from your Senior Brother Wenshu."

"And Brother Manjusri?"

This time, Jiang Ziya was completely stunned.
