Chapter 170: Heavenly Nine Cauldrons Golden Immortal Path

After a month, Zhou You felt like he was going to get sick from being idle, and he couldn't go on like this.

He secretly circulated his blood and added a few traces of redness to his face. He found his parents and told them that he was feeling better. In addition, he had not visited Master Zeng's home for some time, so he wanted to pay a visit and learn some culture at the same time.

If I were to practice boxing or visit fellow disciples, my parents would definitely not agree.

When mentioning the highly respected Master Zeng and saying that we were learning knowledge and culture from him, the situation immediately changed.

"It's better to learn literature. I shouldn't have learned boxing in the first place. Look at what has happened now."

"Bring these few packages of snacks. We can't come empty-handed. It would be disrespectful to the Master."

"You'er, let dad call you a carriage to save you from the sun and wind. Your health has just gotten worse again."

Many spies hiding outside the door saw Zhou You go out and get on the carriage with the help of his parents, and they became more and more certain that he had not recovered yet.

What a pity that a master with Qi and Blood level 4 is so weak.

Zhou You grabbed the snacks with both hands, thinking that his parents were very thoughtful, and the gift should not be wasted!

Zeng Mansion...

After Pan Jinshan opened the door, he was slightly stunned when he saw Zhou You, wondering why he appeared.

"I'm here to visit the Master. Is the Master home?"

Master Zeng has been at home during this period, so it was just in time for him to come.

Zhou You handed the snacks to Du Juan and entered the mansion under the guidance of Pan Jinshan.

"Zhou You, I heard about your story. It's incredible."

Pan Jinshan is also a master of the middle level of Qi and blood. He knows that it is not easy to practice to this level, and each of them is a tough character.

In fact, Zhou You became famous in one battle and was considered a top figure in the boxing and martial arts circles of Gongliang City.

The name of Cha Chi Hu really caught the eyes of many high-level officials and became a target for them to win over.

Otherwise, why were there so many spies watching around his house?
The study was the place where Master Zeng met Zhou You and taught him seal script.

When Zhou You entered the study, Zeng Ruyu was holding a book in her hand. When she saw him, she smiled shyly, bowed, and slowly left.

My mood instantly improved. Life is pretty good with such a beautiful little sister to look after.

"Come on, you're not feeling well, sit down and talk."

Master Zeng picked up his pen and wrote a few words, then put down his pen and ink, walked to the desk and looked at Zhou You's complexion.

"Well, it's OK! Young people recover quickly. I have an old mountain ginseng in my room. You can take it away later to replenish your body."

He did not mention any pedantic remarks about how fighting is dangerous and that killing people is unacceptable.

Master Zeng was the kind of scholar who was wise but appeared foolish. He had a clear mind and a keen insight into worldly affairs. When talking to people, he would always be to the point and never make others feel uncomfortable.

He did not ask much about Zhou You's martial arts training as a 'registered disciple', and focused on teaching him seal script.

"Today I will tell you about the differences between ancient and modern writing."

"Well, if we trace the origin of writing back to the tribal era, it can be traced back to before the establishment of the nation-state."

“The inheritance and evolution of writing is more powerful and lasting than the reproduction of any species, and its lineage is clear and continuous.”

“However, there are also places where ancient and modern texts cannot be compared.”

"With the turmoil and changes, a large number of ancient characters were lost, and there was no way to evolve and inherit them, and there was no corresponding modern character."

"Correspondingly, many modern scripts have emerged over time, and there are no corresponding written records in ancient times."

"Seal script, engraved on stone walls, jade and gold objects, is the origin of ancient writing." "The oldest seal script in the world comes from the rubbings of nine large bronze tripods, which are... the Nine Cauldrons of Heaven and Man."

"It is said that when the celestial being came to the world, the seventy-two most powerful tribes in the world collected all their weapons and farm tools, melted them down, and cast nine large tripods as ritual vessels to worship the celestial being."

"The inside and outside surfaces of the cauldron are inscribed with seal characters to record the various phenomena of the celestial beings descending, as well as the process of the celestial beings imparting various knowledge and powers."

At this point, Master Zeng emphasized, "It is said that the power imparted by the gods made the weak bodies of mortals strong, fighting against wild beasts and surviving landslides and floods. Later, it was named Wu."

These words resounded through Zhou You's mind like thunder.

"Gods and men teach martial arts, this is the recognized origin of all martial arts in the world."

Zhou You was excited. What were these celestial beings? Aliens, gods, or higher-dimensional creatures?

Master Zeng changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about the supernatural for now! Although the Nine Cauldrons of Heaven and Man are just legends, they were unearthed more than once in later historical records, and rubbings of them were handed down from generation to generation. Each word is worth a thousand gold coins."

"Today we will talk about two words, using the Nine Cauldrons of Heaven and Man as the boundary. These two words did not exist before and were created later."

He turned around and wrote two words on the paper, one was God and the other was Immortal.

"These two words, one is common, the other is relatively uncommon."

The uncommon word he mentioned was... the word "Xian".

"People in white robes are often seen in the streets and alleys. They belong to the Buddhist religion and believe that the gods came to the world to save the world. Therefore, they interpret the gods as gods, who are supreme and omnipotent."

Master Zeng scribbled a few strokes on the white paper and split the word "Shen" into "Shi" and "Shen".

"The meaning of God can be analyzed from these two characters. Shen is a variant of the character for electricity, which means that electricity is a long rainbow that penetrates the sun."

"Thunder and lightning have been considered the authority of gods since ancient times. They punish sins, bring rain and irrigate, and are both wrathful and merciful."

"When the celestial being descended from the sky, he was surrounded by thunder and lightning clouds. He used thunder and lightning to show his authority, so 'Shi Shen' merged into a god."

"Most people in the world believe that the power of gods is unpredictable and cannot be disobeyed, otherwise disaster will surely occur."

"From this perspective, the celestial beings are universally recognized gods."

Master Zeng took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued speaking.

"However, the interpretation of heaven and man has never been dominated by one party, such as this... word immortal."

Master Zeng further broke down the word "immortal" into two characters: mountain and man.

"It is said that in ancient times, countless stone beams connected the heaven and earth, like a long bridge with no end."

"The gods came to the earth along the stone beams and benefited the world. Later, a great change caused the heaven and earth to be misaligned, and all the stone beams were broken. From then on, the heaven and earth were separated and there was no contact anymore."

“The countless famous mountains in the world are the remnants of ancient stone beams that have been broken off, and you can still see their majestic heights that connect the sky and the earth.”

"Because the celestial beings came from the stone beam, and now the stone beam remains as a mountain, the celestial beings are people who came down from the mountain, so they are mountain people, which means... immortals."

When Master Zeng came to this point, he suddenly asked Zhou You, "After listening for so long, do you think the celestial beings are gods or immortals?"

God represents supreme majesty and authority, while immortals are at least half human.

"Master, there is no need to ask the followers of the Buddhist God religion. They definitely regard the celestial beings as gods."

"If there are still some people in the world who interpret heavenly beings as immortals, will they band together to form a similar organization and come up with slogans similar to 'Release the Gods'?"

Zhou You did not answer. He was aware that this question was not simple and answering it rashly would involve taking sides to a certain extent.

Master Zeng smiled and said, "Of course there is, it is called the Golden Immortal Way."
