Chapter 347 Eight Steps
Although Ji Chang was good at practicing Qigong, his skills were not inferior to those of a Golden Immortal.
But he has no magical powers, so his body is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary mortal.
In addition, he is now eighty years old, so he has just lifted the handle of the bicycle.
Those legs, hands, and shoulders began to tremble slightly!
And his first thought now was.
Why did I make this car so gorgeous? So expensive?
So heavy!
If an ordinary mortal were to ride in a one-horse carriage, it would only weigh three or four hundred pounds.
It will be much easier to pull it up!
But this carriage of mine weighs nearly five thousand pounds!
Gritting his teeth, Ji Chang took a step forward with difficulty.
One step, two steps...
Jiang Ziya slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ji Chang who was pulling his carriage in front of him.
His thoughts were already recalling the day when his senior brother, the Immortal of the South Pole, came to him and asked him to make things difficult for Ji Chang, preferably to make him completely humble and have no other ideas.
"We immortals are above the mundane world, ruling the Three Realms. How can we be bound by the constraints of so-called mortal princes? Ziya, when Ji Chang comes to ask you to come out of seclusion in a few days, you must thoroughly temper his noble character. It would be best if you could make him completely humble himself, as this proves the futility of royal authority..."
Since my senior brother has asked me to grind off Ji Chang's nobleness, he will have to bow down to me and other immortals in the future.
So, is there anything more direct than making him work like a slave?
"Bang!"
But that was when Jiang Ziya was thinking about how to make him obey while saving face in front of his ministers.
Suddenly there was a loud noise, the whole car was shaken, and then it fell forward to the ground with a bang.
But Ji Chang screamed and instantly threw himself forward, falling flat on his face.
Jiang Ziya was shocked for a moment and hurriedly stopped himself! He almost rolled out.
The other ministers also shouted hurriedly: "My Lord!"
At the same time, he quickly rushed over and helped Ji Chang up.
Ji Chang was so badly beaten that his hands were bruised, but fortunately his face was not injured.
But this also proves how much effort he put into pulling the cart!
After Jiang Ziya stabilized his body, he frowned slightly.
But I saw that one of the handles in front of the car was broken!
This is a solid car body made of hundred-fold refined iron!
Ji Chang stood up and immediately turned to look at Jiang Ziya, saying with a wry smile, "Sir, are you alright? I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. I never expected this seemingly luxurious vehicle to have such a major flaw! Fortunately, it wasn't pulled by a dragon horse, otherwise I would have regretted it!"
Jiang Ziya exhaled slightly, then got out of the car and said mysteriously, "It's okay, it's okay. This is also God's will."
"God willing?"
When Ji Chang heard this, he was a little surprised and asked, "What do you mean by heaven's will?"
Jiang Ziya said slowly, "From the time the Marquis started pulling the cart until the handle broke, he took a full eight steps!"
Ji Chang asked doubtfully, "It seems to be eight steps, so what?"
Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and said, "King Wen pulled his chariot eight steps, and the Zhou Dynasty ruled for eight thousand years."
"ah?"
Ji Chang didn't expect Jiang Ziya to say this!
He didn't expect the handle of the cart to break. It was indeed not his intention to break it, but Jiang Ziya's words stirred up huge waves in his heart!
I have calculated my destiny in the Zhou Dynasty using the Zhoutian Bagua, and it is very vague. Sometimes it is auspicious, and sometimes it is very bad!
The good news is that the Zhou Dynasty was able to be established and then enjoy an 8,000-year reign!
But the murderer only lived for a short eight months!
Therefore, he was quite uneasy and extremely melancholy.
But now, when he heard Jiang Ziya say this, his mind suddenly became clear!
Yes! It is exactly 8,000 years of national life!
Ji Chang's face was instantly filled with joy. He quickly walked over and said, "Sir, please take a seat! I still have the strength to pull the carriage with only one handle. I can still pull it!"
Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "It is Heaven's will, and it cannot be changed by human power. My Lord, there is no need to do this. I am not trying to make things difficult for you. In fact, I seem to be asking you to pull the cart, but in fact I want to test the results of my calculations. As expected, it is difficult to defy Heaven's will. Originally, I was thinking of extending the Great Zhou's destiny and making it enjoy ten thousand years!"
Ji Chang nodded with a smile on his face.
Being able to confirm that the Great Zhou would have an 8,000-year reign was already a matter of great joy. Therefore, Ji Chang suppressed his previous unhappiness and simply said with a smile, "I was judging you by my own standards. Please don't blame me, sir. Come, quickly repair the carriage. I want to go to Xiqi with you!"
Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "No need, no need. I understand your intentions, my lord. How can I ride in a carriage with you now? I am not that arrogant. My lord, please get in."
When Ji Chang heard this, he felt even more relieved. It seemed that Jiang Ziya was indeed testing him.
Thinking of this, Ji Chang smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I won't say much."
With the help of the Qigong practitioner, the broken handle of the wheel was quickly repaired.
The four dragon horses were harnessed again, Ji Chang got on the carriage, and Jiang Ziya got on a horse at random. They went to Xiqi City while chatting and laughing with Ji Chang.
When we returned to the city, it was already completely dark.
But the entire Xiqi Marquis's Mansion was still brightly lit.
Firstly, it was to hold a funeral for Bo Yikao, and secondly, it was because of Jiang Ziya.
Ziya's coming out of seclusion is of great significance.
He carries the List of Conferred Gods and the Divine Whip, which were bestowed by Yuanshi Tianzun and play a crucial role in the future catastrophe of the Conferred Gods.
I saw that in the Marquis’s mansion, the sixth of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Xianjiao had arrived!
