Boss, did you see that? Keep up with the times! This is what it means to keep up with the times! "Su Yun turned around and said to Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren felt a little helpless. Su Yun and Daoist Wang had intentionally or unintentionally avoided the formal topic and talked about trivial matters.
"Not really. It's mainly because my son came back for a day and wanted to run away. I asked him what he was going to do. He said there was no signal on the mountain and he still had to play the qualifier. "Daoist Wang smiled dryly and said," Tell me, what's going on? He doesn't come home to see me and the qualifier is the most important thing in the world. "
"That's because you're old. In the hearts of young people, the qualifier is indeed more important than you," Su Yun said with a laugh.
"Let's talk about serious matters. We still have to do ward rounds later," Zheng Ren said calmly, thinking about the omelet made by his beloved.
Su Yun shrugged. "Brother, you see, there's only this boss who only knows to do ward rounds and perform surgeries every day. Don't you think it's interesting?"
"Boss Zheng, is Master Yan looking for you?" Daoist Wang asked softly, his smile gone.
"Yes, he said he's undergoing tribulation and protecting me. I don't know much about this. Su Yun said he wanted to ask about it, so I'll have to trouble you, "Zheng Ren said with a smile.
"It's no trouble at all. Actually, I don't know much about it either," Daoist Wang said in distress. "I'm just a medical graduate who's not a doctor. I've listened to my old man's idle chatter since I was young, so I know a little about supernatural things but I'm not sure if it's true. "
"Go on." Zheng Ren pulled a chair over and sat in front of the tablet, listening carefully.
"Everyone knows about ascension, but … according to the current saying, it's Spirit Qi …"
"Hey, Old Wang, don't talk about the revival of Spirit Qi. We're in broad daylight. Those are just feudal superstitions," Su Yun said immediately.
"Heh, no, no." Daoist Wang waved his hand. "The last record of ascension was in the Ming Dynasty. In the end … it was said that 800 Earth Immortals were born in response to the tribulation, but no one ascended until the end."
"You're talking about ascension and Master Yan told me about tribulation." Zheng Ren frowned and asked, "Are they the same?"
"Something like that. I don't have any recollection of the Tribulation Transcendence. I only remember that my old man said that my ancestor was also a well-known figure during the Wanli Era." When Daoist Wang mentioned his ancestor, a layer of luster appeared on his face.
"Old Wang, don't keep me in suspense. Who is your ancestor?" Su Yun asked curiously.
"Grand Secretary Wang Xijue." Daoist Wang hid his complacent expression, but the pride that overflowed from his bones was natural and could not be concealed at all.
"Your spirit of trying to curry favor with others is worth learning. Continue." Su Yun retorted without a care.
"Little Brother Su, I'm telling the truth. My family has a genealogy."
Zheng Ren was helpless. The conversation between the two men was drifting further and further away. Although he could vaguely guess what Daoist Wang wanted to say, he still wanted to hear it from him.
"Stop gossiping, Wang Xijue. I know that both father and son are ranked first. What happened next? "Zheng Ren asked.
"Ancestor Wang Xijue had a daughter named Wang Gui."
"What an old-fashioned name." Su Yun nagged.
"It's not old-fashioned. When she was born, Wang Xijue happened to be ranked first. It could be considered as the crown of the toad palace, so she got this name," Zheng Ren said.
"Boss Zheng, you're a genius!" Daoist Wang gave a thumbs up and praised.
"You can't read the official and unofficial history of the Ming Dynasty. Four out of ten sentences are false. Uh, I went off topic again. Continue, "Zheng Ren said.
"Originally, the ancestor betrothed Wang Gui to Xu Jingshao. Unfortunately, Xu Jingshao died before the wedding. Wang Gui swore to cultivate and called herself Tan Yangzi at the age of 17," Daoist Wang said. "It was said that she was the incarnation of Tan Luan Bodhisattva. At that time, many people believed in her."
"Tsk, tsk. Old Wang, I almost believed you. You're working hard." Su Yun sneered.
Su Yun also did not believe in these strange things.
"It's not a joke. It's true. Tu Long, Wang Shizhen, Feng Menglong, Xu Wenzhang, and other great scholars all worshiped her. Even her father, Wang Xijue, and uncle, Wang Dingjue, worshiped her as their master, "Zheng Ren said. "At that time, there was a dragon prophecy. It said that a dragon had descended to the world and brought disaster to the world. Eight hundred Earth Immortals descended and ascended. However, the prophecy was not accurate. Later, none of these people ascended. "
Zheng Ren said, "But Wang Gui died in meditation. The first time she failed, and the second time she died in front of 100,000 people. It's not impossible to say that she ascended."
"Boss, you just said that you don't believe it. It's all feudal superstition," Su Yun retorted.
"I'm telling a legend. It's recorded in the history books. You know Wang Shizhen, right? She was one of the leaders of the literati during the Jiajing and Longqing years. She wrote 'Biography of Master Tan Yang', 'Master Tan Yang's Handwriting Seal', 'Pure Festival Ancestral Records', and so on. "
"Tsk tsk, isn't this nonsense?"
"It's hard to say. Maybe there really is such a thing. Who knows? Daoist Wang, please continue, "Zheng Ren said with a smile.
Daoist Wang was stunned. He thought to himself, 'You've already said what I wanted to say. What else is there to say?'
He sorted out his thoughts and continued, "Ancestor Wang Gui died in meditation and ascended. This is recorded in the history books."
"Yes, and then?"
"In the Journey to the West of the Ming Dynasty, many chapters are also allusions. Xu Zhenjun is … "
"Daoist Wang, you're going too far." Zheng Ren interrupted him and continued to ask, "Do you have any records about Wang Gui's ascension?"
"No …" Daoist Wang shook his head. "My ancestor didn't leave anything behind. I just kept some cultivation techniques and incantations in a secret place. I sent a copy to Master Yan. I think he might have learned something after reading it. "
Daoist Wang seemed to be a little envious.
"I knew it!" Su Yun said loudly, "And then?"
"I don't have the talent for this. There are many things I can't understand at all. I'm just a doctor in a Taoist robe. All these years, I've fought for so many incense offerings. It's all luck. "
"Boss, Brother Wang said he doesn't know." Su Yun turned to look at Zheng Ren with some regret.
"Then, do you understand turning nothingness into reality?"
"No." Daoist Wang shook his head. "But Boss Zheng, there's something I don't know if I should say …"
"Hurry up and say it. Usually, there's no harm in saying it. Are you tired? I woke up early in the morning to video chat with you. I haven't even eaten yet, "Su Yun said.
"We're both materialists. The incense offerings here are just a business. To be more serious, it's like a psychological consultation," Daoist Wang said seriously. "Transcendence, ascension, and turning nothingness into reality are all nonsense. I don't want to come into contact with it if I can."
Zheng Ren smiled slightly.
"Daoist Wang, if I don't come into contact with it, wouldn't I believe it?" Su Yun retorted with Zheng Ren's words and realized that the logic was really clear.
Daoist Wang was speechless.
