Chapter 111 Lei Zhenzi
Chapter 111 Lei Zhenzi
What Yang Jiao couldn't understand was...
The baby seemed to have even more energy after drinking the milk, and cried with a truly earth-shattering intensity.
Even Mosquito Taoist's leisurely milk-drinking moment was disturbed.
Yang Jiao's eardrums went numb from the shock, and her brows furrowed.
The sharp-eyed Mosquito Taoist then leaned over and suggested:
"Yang Jiao, should I gag him?"
Yang Jiao: ...
You're a bodyguard who's a little too responsible.
Two bottles of milk? It's not worth all that money you've spent, you mosquito!
This abandoned child is like a hot potato stuck in my hands. If I take him back and raise him, Erlang shouldn't be too upset, right?
Yang Jiao was at a loss for what to do amidst the wailing.
She doesn't know how to comfort children!
She herself is still just a child!
Suddenly, an army appeared on the official road.
Several tall horses led the way, protecting a magnificent carriage in the middle, followed by a large and imposing procession.
Yang Jiao remained silent for a moment, then placed the child by the roadside and watched from the side with Mosquito Taoist.
Hopefully, this group is a kind-hearted group and will be able to adopt the child.
The army is approaching.
The baby cried even louder.
The people in front only glanced at it and did not stop.
Just as Yang Jiao thought no one wanted her and was about to leave, she saw a hand reach out from the middle of the carriage, lift the curtain, and look inside.
The entire army halted its advance.
Someone immediately stepped forward and carried the swaddled baby to the side of the carriage.
The curtain was completely lifted, and a refined man in his fifties stepped out and took the swaddled baby from him.
Strange things then began to happen.
The crying child immediately became docile in the man's arms.
Yang Jiao thought that this person must be someone important, given the size of their motorcade. She looked up at the flag.
"Female... minister..."
Were there any female ministers among the eight hundred marquises of the Shang Dynasty?
The man was holding the infant. Thunder roared, and seeing this, he felt a pang of pity. Looking around, he saw no sign of human habitation and could only sigh.
"Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life. Since we are destined to meet, then let him be my hundredth adopted son."
"When thunder strikes from the sky, he is called Lei Zhenzi."
The man had barely finished speaking.
Mosquito Taoist felt Yang Jiao suddenly fall backward.
He quickly caught her, shook her, and called out:
"Yang Jiao, Yang Jiao, what's wrong?"
"Were you struck by lightning? You seem numb."
Yang Jiao suddenly sprang up, looked at the man holding Lei Zhenzi, and muttered while biting her sleeve:
"The Marquis of the West, King Wen of Zhou!"
She looked at the banner that accompanied the army again, and what was written on it was not "female minister" at all, but clearly the character "Ji"!
Ji Chang's Ji!
Hime-hime (姬发)!
Bo Yikao's concubine!
Was this the day the Marquis of Xibo was summoned to court to subdue Lei Zhenzi?
She stared intently at the Marquis of Xibo.
Holding Lei Zhenzi in his hands, he still clutched a few copper coins. After naming Lei Zhenzi, the Marquis of Xibo then performed divination for him on the horse stand.
After the copper coin was placed face down, the Marquis of Xibo picked it over several times and then burst into laughter:
“This child and I are indeed father and son, but we are not destined to be together. You should build a shelter for him to protect him from the rain and leave a team of men to watch over him.”
The soldiers behind him immediately set up tents and houses, providing Lei Zhenzi with a temporary shelter from the rain.
The army then marched forward toward Chaoge.
The Mosquito Taoist exclaimed in realization:
"She cried too loudly, and nobody wanted her anymore."
No.
Yang Jiao did not speak.
She knew about the sixty-four hexagrams of King Wen.
It was clear that he had calculated that it would be more advantageous for someone else to take over Lei Zhenzi than for Lei Zhenzi to follow him.
That's why he was placed here.
The army had long since gone far away, and Yang Jiao appeared and walked up to Lei Zhenzi.
The troops left behind saw that the divination had come true as soon as the Marquis of Xibo left, and they immediately became even more devoted and loyal to advancing again.
He bowed to Yang Jiao and the other person and said:
"Are you two young ladies here looking for this child?"
The one who accepted disciples should be Yun Zhongzi.
Yang Jiao is not, but it cannot be denied:
"Yes, thank you all for taking care of it."
"It's alright, it's alright. This is our young master from Xiqi. We hope you will treat him well. We will go to Chaoge with the Marquis."
"Goodbye."
The troops marched swiftly away, following the Marquis of Xibo.
Yang Jiao squatted down and looked at Lei Zhenzi, who had just been given a name and a godfather, and sighed:
"She is quite beautiful..."
Pity.
In seven years, I'll have to turn into a birdman.
It has a blue face and fangs, and two wings on its back.
She stayed there for a short while before she saw a cloud flying in from the sky.
Lei Zhenzi, who had been quiet all along, suddenly opened his mouth and cried.
Yang Jiao thought to herself:
"You're really smart."
The first cry is when the child wants milk from me;
The second cry was a promise to find an emperor as a godfather.
The third cry brought Yun Zhongzi here.
The cloud, which was originally flying in another direction, abruptly changed direction and flew down after hearing the crying.
Yun Zhongzi was a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, whose status was more noble than that of Shen Gongbao, Jiang Ziya, and others. Although he was not among the Twelve Golden Immortals, he was a disciple of Kunlun.
His Taoist name is widely known and his reputation is considerable.
Yang Jiao was also very curious about this person.
So I looked over expectantly.
Then, he closed his eyes tightly.
That's too...eye-catching.
Yun Zhongzi was dressed in Taoist robes, holding a Taiji diagram in his left hand and the Eastern Emperor Bell in his right, with the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda of the Supreme Lord Laozi on his head.
"This...is a magic weapon that a Golden Immortal could possess?"
"The Eastern Emperor Bell was lost! The Six Sages couldn't find it, yet it's in Yun Zhongzi's hands?!"
Yun Zhongzi descended from the clouds, looked at the abandoned baby and the little girl standing before him, and asked Mosquito Daoist:
"Fellow Daoist, are you this child's mother? How could you leave your child in the rain? How could you let your son cry like this?"
"And this little girl, at such a young age, shouldn't her mother hold an umbrella for her to keep her out of the rain?"
Mosquito Taoist's eyes were full of question marks.
Looking at Yang Jiao in a low voice, he asked uncertainly:
Was he just cursing mosquitoes?
"Where did this crazy man come from?"
Yun Zhongzi was furious. He then took out a picture from his pocket and used it to wipe the water off Yang Jiao's face.
Yang Jiao took a look.
So frightened that he bit his tongue.
That is the Map of Mountains and Rivers!
A water-washed version of the "Landscape and Social Order Map"?!
Her pupils contracted.
Yun Zhongzi didn't care. He shoved the Nuwa Goddess's Map of Mountains and Rivers into Yang Jiao's hands and said:
"Keep it to wipe your face, poor child."
He dared to offer it, but Yang Jiao didn't dare to accept it!
This is a map depicting the mountains and rivers of the land, a world unto itself! It's about the creation of the world! Does this person even understand it?!
Yang Jiao looked at the map of mountains and rivers in her hand. Wait, something's not right.
Upon closer inspection.
The shock was even greater!
Piracy!
This Yun Zhongzi is wearing a whole bunch of counterfeit goods!
None of them are genuine; they only have the appearance but lack the actual effects and capabilities of the real thing.
Yang Jiao secretly rolled her eyes.
"I was terrified. I thought that Yun Zhongzi had brought down the Dao Ancestor before these good things came about."
Then, feeling perfectly justified, he used a handkerchief with the design of the "Mountains and Rivers Map" to wipe his face.
Mosquito Taoist was in a bad mood after being rebuked by Cloud Man, so he was just waiting for Yang Jiao to give the order so he could go up and suck him!
She stared at him fiercely.
After seeing Yun Zhongzi pick up Lei Zhenzi and the crying abruptly stop, Yang Jiao stepped forward and said:
"My sister and I were passing by when we saw an abandoned baby here, and we didn't know what to do."
Yun Zhongzi's expression relaxed slightly.
So that's how it is.
He quickly bowed to the Mosquito Taoist in apology:
"It was my recklessness, I hope you will not take offense."
"Humph!"
Mosquito Taoist crossed his arms and turned to the side.
Is it enough to just apologize after insulting a mosquito?
There's no sincerity!
At least give me a bottle of milk.
Yun Zhongzi looked embarrassed, knowing that it would be inconvenient for a woman to walk with a child, so he took over the task of caring for the child, saying:
"Since he is an abandoned child, I will take him as my apprentice and teach him well."
“We, master and disciple, met in the rain. Since it is fate, let us call him… Yu Zhongzi.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Jiao...
Suddenly, he was filled with anxiety, his face darkening with worry!
Shouldn't he be called Lei Zhenzi?
How did it turn into a rain neutron?
So I heard the thunder, but you didn't?
Looking at Yun Zhongzi, I can only feel that this person's naming style is just like King Wen of Zhou's!
One is called Lei Zhenzi, and the other is called Yu Zhongzi. They named them after whatever they saw.
He still owes me a bottle of milk!
Shouldn't I give him a name too, so that it's fair?
Baby bottle!
