Xianyang was a scenic spot in the center of the Qin Pass. It was located in the hinterland of the Qin River. The Wei River passed through the south and the Xiao Mountain passed through the north. Therefore, it was called Xianyang. During the reign of King Yi of Zhou, Hao was invaded and King Yi moved the capital to Dog Hill. Qin Feizi and his father, Da Luo, herded horses for the Emperor of Zhou at Dog Hill near Xianyang. Later on, they were conferred the title of Marquis of Qin because they were good at herding horses.
Qin Feizi was conferred the title of Qin capital (east of Baoji, Shaanxi). Later on, he moved to Dog Hill, where his ancestors herded horses. Then, he moved to Huyang, Liyang, and finally settled the capital at Xianyang.
Qin was surrounded by the Hounds War to the west. The people there were fierce and fierce. Moreover, they guarded the center of the pass. Therefore, it was difficult for Chen Ang and the others to enter the capital of Qin without Yi Xi, the Pass Commander of Hangu Pass. Qin was surrounded by checkpoints. There were people from the same country, savages, and scholars. If Chen Ang and the others were not well-educated, Lao Dan used to be the Treasury Guard, and Yi Xi, who was the Pass Commander of Qin's checkpoints, had some connections in Qin, they would not be able to pass the checkpoints easily.
In the capital of Qin, there was no one who could see the Sage's aura. Therefore, the Emperor did not know that Laozi, the Great Sage, had entered Qin. However, Di Fangshi knew about it. Di Fangshi had some inspiration. There were rumors in the market that he could communicate with the gods. Therefore, he was trusted by the Empress Dowager. He often talked about the Immortality Elixir with the Empress Dowager and even interfered in the court affairs.
Before Chen Ang and Lao Dan entered Qin, Di Fangshi saw a monster with a green face and sharp fangs. It had a sharp mouth and a pair of wings on its back. Di Fangshi was a person who could communicate with the gods. How could he not know that it was the God of Thunder and Goddess of Lightning in the sky? He hurriedly greeted and asked for the purpose of his visit.
The Goddess of Lightning said, "We entered the dream to ask you to do something for us!"
Di Fangshi said, "Both of you are powerful and have boundless magic power. Why do you need me, a lowly wizard, to help you? I dare not to refuse! "
He then heard the Thunder God say, "Heaven's will is constant, under the orders of the Jade Emperor. "Some time ago, we were ordered by the Grand Heavenly Venerate to send thunder and lightning to help the Dragon King summon the clouds and rain. When we arrived at Hangu Pass, I played the drum with my left hand and the spine with my right hand. She also used lightning to cut the clouds. Next to me, Old Woman Feng and Lady Xun helped. We pushed Little Cloud Boy and Bu Wu Langjun together. We were about to wait for the Four Sea Dragon Kings to arrive, but it rained heavily."
"Who would have thought that there would be a Demon Monkey down there, relying on a few divine abilities to act lawlessly and unbridled, actually daring to use this opportunity to make fun of us. The lightning in his palm caused the Yin and Yang axis to change, causing the drums and awls in my hands to tremble chaotically. Lightning rumbled in all directions. He actually triggered the Qi of Heaven and Earth in advance, causing the lightning to explode in my hands. "
"You've caused us to lose face in front of Granny Wind, Rain Master, Cloud Child, Mist Lord, and the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas! They laughed at me in secret and spread the news to the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Even the Nine Heavens' Thunder Heavenly Lord Universal Transformation asked about it. How could I not take revenge for such a great enmity? "
Ti Fangshi bowed and said, "The two gods are from the Thunder Manor, which demon dares to not give you face? Such an unruly and unruly demon, as long as the two of you report to the Five Thunder Emperors and let its calamity break out in advance, when the time comes, the two god generals will use the heavenly lightning to strike it to death! Then the resentment in our hearts can be vented. Why do we need this brat? "
"Do you think that the Demon Monkey doesn't have anyone backing him up?" Mother of Lightning sneered and said, "That Demon Monkey's fortune isn't small, he has a master, the Immeasurable Cult Master of the heretical sect from beyond the heavens, the dharma body of a saint that descended. The martial uncle that came with him is Taishang Laojun, who has a venerated position in the celestial palace. Now that he has descended to the mortal world to transform into Buddha, it's a great undertaking of the celestial heavens. How can we strike that Demon Monkey to death in front of Laojun's incarnation? "
"This …" Ti Fangshi was hesitant, and Mother of Lightning's expression changed. She said coldly, "You said you wouldn't dare to resign just now, could it be that you're trying to fool us? You want to evade such a small matter?"
"This lowly one doesn't dare to fool you!" Ti Fangshi pleaded again and again, "It's just that that Demon Monkey has such an origin, its supernatural power must be extraordinary, I'm afraid I'm not its opponent! And if Laojun intervenes, how can this lowly one dare to compete with him? "
"You don't have to worry about this …" The God of Thunder snorted and said, "We don't want you to take that Demon Monkey's life, we just want you to make things difficult for it. When it goes to the West to pass the test, it will definitely ask for an official document, and at that time, you just have to ruthlessly humiliate it. Laojun doesn't do anything, why would he care about such a small matter? "
Hearing that it was just a round of humiliation, Ti Fangshi let go of his worries. The saints didn't show their techniques, even if Laojun's incarnation came to this Qin, he would still have to ask for help from him. Just by obtaining Empress Dowager Qin's trust all these years, wouldn't it be easy to fool a Demon Monkey? When that time comes, if he befriended the two Divine Lords and had the opportunity, he would be able to earn a status. Even if he was no longer a Rogue Immortal in the mortal world, he could still enter the celestial palace and become a deity with a position.
Thus, Ti Fangshi ordered someone to wait near the Qin capital's gate, and when he saw Laojun and his entourage, he went back to report to him.
That day, Laozi and Chen Ang entered the city in a carriage, and that person went back to inform Ti Fangshi. Then, Ti Fangshi rushed into the palace and requested to see the King of Qin. This King of Qin was the future King Ai of Qin, and he indulged in wine and women. He also doted on Ti Fangshi a lot, and took the pill that Ti Fangshi offered, and used his fiery nature to pamper the beauty. He received Ti Fangshi very casually, hugged the beauty, and asked Ti Fangshi for his purpose.
Ti Fangshi smiled and said, "I heard that something strange happened in the city, so I came to have a laugh with you, Your Majesty."
Hearing that Ti Fangshi had something to say, the King of Qin was also very interested, and he asked excitedly, "Oh? What strange thing happened? "
Ti Fangshi said, "This morning, I saw an ox cart entering the city from the east gate of the capital. There were two Virtuous Paragons on the cart, and the Hangu Pass's Pass Magistrate, Yi Xi, was driving the cart. There was also a black ox with a full horn. The strangest thing was that there was actually a monkey wearing human clothes, imitating human behavior, and leading the ox in front. The people of the capital were very curious, and they surrounded and blocked the city gate. "
The historian at the side reported, "The Virtuous Paragons on the cart are Shi Laodan, who is guarding the treasure chamber of the Emperor of Zhou! He has a good reputation and is highly respected. I hope that Your Majesty will pay respect to him! "
The King of Qin did not care about the Virtuous Paragons. He only paid attention to the second half of Ti Fangshi's words. He widened his eyes and asked, "Is there really an ape wearing human clothes? This is really strange. Did you see it with your own eyes? "
"I saw it with my own eyes. The monkey walks, sits, and lies down like a human. It's extremely intelligent!" Ti Fangshi answered calmly.
The King of Qin sighed, "It's a pity that I couldn't see it with my own eyes … Fang family, do you think that if I invite Laodan here, will he bring the monkey here?"
Before Ti Fangshi could answer, the historian's facial expression changed drastically, and he stopped him, "Your Majesty, you can't do that! Laodan is famous across the world. Famous scholars such as Kong Qiu from the Lu Kingdom, Lao Laizi from the Chu Kingdom, and Yan Ying from the Qi Kingdom have visited him to learn from him. He's a famous and virtuous physician. Now that a virtuous paragon has entered the Qin Kingdom, Your Majesty, shouldn't you admire him because of his talent and virtue? Why would you tease him like a monkey? If this is spread out, the virtuous people from all over the world will look down on our Daqin! "
"In the past, King Zhou imprisoned King Wen of Zhou. His son, Bo Yikao, invited him in. However, King Zhou did not like King Wen's talent. Instead, he indulged in the three treasures presented by his son — the Seven Fragrances Chariot, the Sobering Blanket, and the White-faced Ape. The White-faced Ape is a thousand-year-old white ape. It's good at playing 3,000 small songs and 800 big songs. It's good at dancing on the palm, and it's good at observing the demons in the human world. King Zhou lost the virtue of King Wen because of the monkey. Therefore, it's difficult for him to lose the country. "
"Isn't this similar to your Majesty today? Your Majesty, the Yin Jian is not far away! "
"Humph!" The King of Qin flicked his sleeves and stood up. Ti Fangshi pretended to be shocked and knelt down. He secretly plotted against the historian and said, "Please calm down, Your Majesty. It's my fault for speaking out of turn. I've lost the intention of advising you to be virtuous."
"Summon Laodan!" The King of Qin said angrily, "I'd like to see how virtuous he is." At this point, when the historian was about to let out a sigh of relief, he heard the King of Qin saying, "I wonder if he's comparable to that peculiar monkey? Today, I want to see both the Virtuous Sage and the peculiar monkey. Ti Fangshi, go and pass on my decree. "The historian shouted," How can he be comparable to the Virtuous Sage and the peculiar monkey? Your Majesty … "
"Leave!" The King of Qin scolded. The historian retreated unwillingly.
Seeing that the annoying historian who often advised him was driven away, the King of Qin asked Ti Fangshi with great interest, "That fellow mentioned the White-faced Ape raised by King Zhou. I just remembered it. I wonder if the peculiar monkey is as good as the White-faced Ape. Is it possible that it can dance on the palm and is good at singing?"
Di Fangshi's plan was successful. He also revealed a smile and said, "I don't know about this. However, all the strange things in the world belong to the King. It would be interesting to raise this strange monkey to lead the King's horse."
