I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

I still enjoy the immense respect and admiration from my disciples, but I have to say it's really tiring.

"Master, this is what happened. Please give me your instructions."

After Liu Origami finished speaking, the entire hall was suddenly filled with the sound of a pin drop.

Qian Chishi was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed and asked: "Zhizhi, you are a smart child, why are you so stubborn this time?"

Liu Origami lowered her head and said with a slightly bitter tone: "Master, you should understand."

Ah, yes, I do understand.

The truth is no longer important. This kid just wants to hear "I didn't know" from me.

It doesn't matter if you deceive yourself, as long as you say you don't know, he will definitely choose to believe it.

Failed...Failed in the end.

Origami, although you treat others sincerely, you ultimately fail to be honest.

.........................

Qian Chishi closed his eyes. Lies are like paper and the truth is like fire. Paper cannot cover fire in the end.

What is coming will eventually come, so let’s take off this tiring mask completely today!

Still without opening his eyes, the head of Zheshan Hall slowly said, "Zhezhi, this matter was ordered by the master to be done by your senior brother."

He didn't see the expression on his disciple's face, nor did he want to see it.

After a moment, Liu Origami's dry voice came: "Then, why did Master do this?"

"Of course it's for my charity hall!"

Chapter 064 Three Ancestors and Two Bodhisattvas

Now that I have said it, I might as well make it clear.

"The earliest historical books that have survived to this day can be traced back to the era of the Ten Ancient Kingdoms. Afterwards, the three ancestors descended one after another. The exact order of their arrival is difficult to sort out, but after all three ancestors descended, seven out of ten of the Ten Ancient Kingdoms were destroyed!"

Ten ancient countries, three ancestors?

Liu Origami is also a book lover, but there seems to be no record of these things in the ancient books he has read.

"At that time, the world was in chaos, and heroes and outstanding people emerged one after another. Under tremendous external pressure, the three ancient countries resolutely banded together and burst out with unparalleled power."

Qian Chishi pinched his goatee and said slowly, "Some things cannot be verified. I can only make some guesses. The three ancient nations may have established the Iron Alliance because the three ancestors secretly fanned the flames. At least the three did not object. After that, the three ancient nations united to launch the Hundred Years' War. The rising new forces were wiped out one by one, and the world had a vague trend of great unification."

Liu Origami nodded subconsciously. He knew the history of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, but was there actually three hands behind the scenes controlling everything?

"If nothing unexpected happens, once the grassland is finally pacified, the three ancient countries will merge into one country, completing an unprecedented unification."

Speaking of this, Qian Chishi's tone became excited.

"such a pity!"

With regret mixed with inexplicable indignation, Qian Chishi pinched off a strand of his goatee and said coldly, "Before we could defeat the grassland, the Hundred Eyes and Thousand Feet came to this world hand in hand."

"The two Bodhisattvas with a Hundred Eyes and a Thousand Feet prevented the great unification?" The one who spoke was Qian Zhen. He had been silent since he was tied up by Liu Zhezhi and next to Qian Chishi, but now he finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

......................................

“Bodhisattva? Those two weren’t Bodhisattvas at first, and they also called themselves ancestors.”

This was definitely explosive news. Liu Origami and Qian Zhen were both dumbfounded when they heard it.

"The Ancient Iron Alliance has the secret support of the Three Ancestors. The first thing that the Hundred Eyes and Thousand Feet thought of was to support the grassland to divide the world. However, the grassland already has faith, and will not allow any descenders to interfere. Although the intervention in the grassland failed, this failure is also an important revelation."

Revelation?

Qian Zhen was thinking hard, but Liu Origami had already figured it out.

“Master, those two later integrated into the local beliefs, abandoned their ancestral titles and transformed into Bodhisattvas?” Liu Origami said in a trembling voice.

"Yes! This move is really powerful. No one can resist it. The Hundred-Eyed Thousand-Footed One became a Bodhisattva and founded the Great Light Sect. In a short period of time, its power expanded to the point where it could influence the overall situation in the world. Later... the noble families that originally submitted to the Three Ancient Countries rebelled one after another, and the grasslands also took advantage of the situation to invade. It was a mess."

Qian Chishi took a sip of tea and continued, "It's a mess, but now that I look back and sort it out, I can sort out some clues."

First of all, Baimu Qianzu certainly did not end well. While the title of Bodhisattva still exists, the Great Light Sect was uprooted, and even the four words "Great Light Sect" were erased from history.

Apart from living historical books like The Immortal, even the Sang Kingdom, which later relied on the power of Buddhism to establish itself in the place where the faith in the two Bodhisattvas was most prevalent, was known to everyone with the Hundred Eyes and Thousand Feet. But if you ask the Great Light Sect, the people there will only scratch their heads.

Secondly, there must have been major problems within the Three Ancestors. The Iron Alliance, which claimed to be indestructible, completely collapsed overnight after several leaders died suddenly.

The three ancient countries became history, and on the basis of their original territories, the three countries of Shang, Zhao and Xu were later re-established.

................................

"After talking about the past, let me talk about the present."

Qian Chishi finally opened his eyes. He looked at Liu Zhezhi with a serious face and said, "In the past hundred years, the two countries of Wu and Cang have been established. There is not much to say about Wu, the focus is on Cang."

In fact, there are definitely more than just Wu and Cang countries established in these hundred years, but Qian Chishi is too lazy to say much about Wu, let alone those small countries in remote corners.

"The Cang Kingdom was originally established as a barrier against the grasslands with the support of the kings. I never thought that this country would rise rapidly in just a hundred years. Now it has turned from defense to offense and has the momentum to sweep across the grasslands."

All countries are relatively stable now, and the fundamental reason is that the outcome of the battle between Cang Kingdom and the grassland is still undecided.

Once the winner is decided, or when the Cang Kingdom completely defeats the grassland, the world will change drastically!

"Although the Cang Nation is strong, I am not optimistic about it. This country is too aggressive in military affairs. Even if it has the secret support of a certain being, its national fortune will not last long."

Qian Chishi told his two disciples his innermost plan: "I want to join the Shang Kingdom, and when the world changes in the future, I will follow the ancient method to rebuild the Three Kingdoms Alliance!"

If this could really be accomplished, not only would the disciples of Zheshantang be able to become guests of honor among dignitaries from various countries, but Qian Chishi himself could also use his good fortune to reach a realm beyond immortality.

"Master, if you want to accomplish great things, I will follow you till death!"

Qian Zhen's blood boiled after hearing this, and he immediately expressed his determination loudly to Qian Chishi.

The latter nodded with a smile, walked forward and untied him personally.

"With my ability as a teacher, I will be treated with courtesy by the king if I surrender to him. But if I want to gain his true trust, I'm afraid it won't work without a pledge of allegiance."

The State of Shang was about to launch an attack on the State of Wu, and Qian Chishi's so-called token of surrender referred to this war.

....................................

"Master, what exactly do you want to do?" Liu Origami asked with a frown.

"Shang is rich, but its army is not strong. This time Lu Shenghua risked his life to protect Wu. If I hadn't intervened, it would have been a disastrous defeat."

Qian Chishi smiled and said, "There is no need to turn defeat into victory. A big defeat can be turned into a small one, or even a draw will do."

"How to lose slightly, how to draw?" Liu Origami continued to ask.

"Burning paper spreads disease." Qian Chishi stopped Qian Zhen who was about to scold Liu Zhezhi and uttered these four words lightly.

In an instant, Liu Origami felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over her head, chilling her from head to toe.

Master wants to join another country, but Liu Origami can’t do anything about it.

But the paper figures that were originally used to bury the sick were now used to "burn paper to spread the disease", and Liu Origami could not accept this in any way.

"Zheshantang disciples only save people and don't kill people. People have their own ways and their own ways."

Liu Origami spoke out the teachings he had received word by word, his eyes full of disappointment and pleading: "Master, Origami begs you, please stop!"

The envoys from the Shang State are on their way. How can I stop now?

Seeing Qian Chishi remained silent, Liu Zhezhi kowtowed to him heavily.

"Master, please stop, otherwise..."

"If not?"

"If not, I will be offended!"

Chapter 065: Gray Robe Monk

Liu Origami has not yet been promoted, so how could she "offend" an immortal?

The reason why Qian Chishi hid some things from him was not because he was worried that this disciple would cause trouble or anything, but purely because he wanted to maintain the image of his great master!

But now that the mask has been taken off, it doesn't matter anymore.

So when Qian Chishi heard Liu Zhezhi's words, he could only smile silently.

"Junior Brother Liu, what nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you kowtow to Master and apologize!"

Boss Qian Zhen said unhappily, "After we make amends to our master, we will have another good fight. I was careless that day. If it weren't for the conspiracy, do you really think you could win?"

"Brother Qian"

Liu Origami pursed her lips and said something that made Qian Zhen very embarrassed and angry: "When you changed your name last time, do you know how many disciples ridiculed and mocked you behind your back?"

Laugh, what the hell are you laughing at? What's so funny?

"They laughed at my senior brother because he couldn't defeat me with his real ability, so he could only flatter the master."

Hearing this, veins popped out on Qian Zhen's forehead and he wished he could rush up and tear Liu Origami's mouth apart right now.

"But Origami knows that's not the case!"

Varied......

"My father died early, and after he moved to a new home with his remarried mother, he was abused by his stepfather. If it weren't for the master-disciple relationship with Master, I'm afraid I would still be working like a slave for him to repay his so-called kindness in raising me."

Liu Origami said sincerely: "Outer disciples don't know what happened to my senior brother, but Origami knows it. My senior brother said, 'Once a teacher, always a father'. This is not flattery, but words from the heart!"

"..."

Qian Zhen's clenched fists loosened silently. He stared at Liu Origami for a long time, snorted coldly and said, "I never thought that you know me well, Junior Brother."

"I understand my brother, but he doesn't understand me."

Liu Origami released the paper figure from his sleeve and took out a string of copper coins.

He looked directly at Qian Chishi and said with a painful expression: "Master, do you understand me?"

...........................

Qian Chishi just smiled in silence at Liu Zhezhi's "threat" earlier.

But now after hearing his words and seeing that he was really ready to fight him, the immortal could no longer laugh.

"Nonsense!"

With a wave of his sleeves, the paper man broke into pieces, the copper coins scattered all over the ground, and Liu Origami flew backwards and hit the wall.

"Although I have not been honest with you in some aspects, ask yourself, apart from that, how have I let you down?"

Qian Chishi said angrily: "You evil disciple, why don't you go to the confinement room and reflect on your actions!"

Liu Origami struggled to get up from the ground. He said with a complicated expression, "Master has been very kind to me, but because of this, I must not let you down."

After a pause, Liu Origami's complex expression turned into a firm one: "Origami didn't realize it before, until recently I realized that I am just a fake person. I am already a fake person, and I really don't want the principles I learned from my master to become fake too."

Those who live forever usually have a bit of indifference in their bones.

But indifference does not mean the absence of emotion!

Qian Chishi was also shocked after hearing Liu Zhezhi's words, and felt extremely regretful for his previous "impulsive" words.

"Origami, stop it, stop it! Don't push me any further."

As an immortal, being able to say such words to a 'mortal' is already the greatest concession.

But Liu Origami did not appreciate it, and could not appreciate it.

With a thud, he knelt down towards Qian Chishi.

"Please help me, Master!"

..........................

He did not denounce his own cold-bloodedness, nor did he accuse himself of his lies. The disciple in front of him only asked for his help.

Yes, people are fake, the great master is also fake, but the principles can be real.

Origami, have you risked your life for that little bit of truth?

"..."

After staring at his disciple for a long time and seeing that he looked sincere and showed no sign of retreat, Qian Chishi finally let out a long sigh.
