Under One Person: The Millennium Plan Exposed by Feng Baobao.

Chapter 250: The evil methods, the Seven Arrows Book, stealing things from the Nantian Gate.

Although I know that I have the destiny of being a remarkable person in five generations, I don't know what happened in my previous lives.

Zhuge Liang told me that in my previous life, during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, I was a small beggar from the Beggars' Sect.

"But the fate of being a remarkable person in five generations means that my five previous lives were all remarkable, so even if I were a small beggar, I would not be comparable to ordinary people."

This little beggar had a unique skill: no matter whose face he saw, he could use a branch to draw an almost identical one on the ground. By Western painting standards, his technique was a perfect blend of light, shadow, and geometric lines. He was truly a genius painter.

[But the little beggar was born with no love from his father and no mother. Even if he had a great talent, no one could discover it.]

[So I beg for a living, but by some coincidence, this is also the time for my fortune to change after my three previous lives.]

[At the time, the White Lotus Rebellion was rampant, and the prefect was attacked on the neck by a White Lotus assassin at night.]

[As the saying goes, a county magistrate ruins a family, and a prefect annihilates an entire clan.]

[It was incredibly easy to destroy a person's family and their entire family once one reached the rank of prefect. Furthermore, since there were no moral principles at the time, this prefect committed countless atrocities, amassing a vast fortune.]

[The prefect's murder was met with countless applause and cheers, while a rumor spread like wildfire.]

[That is, rebellion is impossible without money. Therefore, the locals said that someone was targeting the prefect's money, a full 200,000 taels of silver. When they killed the prefect, they had the White Lotus Cult use a method to transport it all away.]

[This scene happened to be seen by the little beggar, and the faces of the White Lotus Sect members were also photographed clearly.]

[At that time, this little beggar had no sense of family and country, no national sentiment. He grew up in a beggar's den. Teaching him about family and country would not be as practical as teaching him half a steamed bun.]

[So the little beggar told this story to the beggar leader. The beggar leader knew the little beggar's unique skill, so he had evil intentions and took the little beggar to the prefectural government the next day.]

[Not many people cared about the prefect's murder, and since the imperial court hadn't sent a new prefect to take office for a while, the officials in the prefect's office were automatically promoted one level.]

[The former Tongpan and Tongzhi were also equivalent to the prefect, temporarily in charge of the prefect's power.]

After the beggar leader brought the little beggar here, he told the little beggar that he could read people's paintings. That night, he happened to see the White Lotus Sect members.

After learning about this, the magistrate immediately tested the beggar's abilities. The beggar lived up to everyone's expectations and drew the magistrate's face on the ground, remarkably lifelike.

[Then the little beggar drew the faces of all eleven members of the White Lotus Sect. With their faces, it would be easier to capture them. After copying them onto paper, the wanted posters were scattered like snowflakes.]

The magistrate was also somewhat moved by the fact that a painting master had emerged from a beggar's den. Suddenly, he felt a pity for his talent and decided to let the little beggar be a study companion for his youngest son, thus helping him escape his beggarly fate.

[Then he gave the beggar leader ten taels of silver and let him go.]

[However, the little beggar couldn't bear to leave the beggar leader and the other beggars, so he refused to agree.]

The beggar leader was so angry that he beat the little beggar on the spot. The magistrate saw this and realized that the little beggar was loyal and righteous, so he liked him even more. He thought of a compromise and said that he would let the little beggar accompany him to study for six months. After that, if he still wanted to be a beggar, he could do so.

The little beggar naturally agreed. After arriving at the Tongpan Mansion for half a year, he took the initiative to bid farewell to the Tongpan.

The judge was quite surprised, because according to his assumption, it was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

He had originally intended to provide this little beggar with a comfortable life for a while, so naturally he would no longer think of returning to his beggar's den.

In his opinion, this little beggar had such self-control. If he got the chance in the future, his future would be limitless.

Therefore, the magistrate was even more reluctant to let the little beggar go, so no matter how much the little beggar tried to persuade him, he did not agree to let him go, but instead improved his treatment.

[As for the original group of beggars, the magistrate had the constables from the yamen beat them out of the city with clubs to prevent the little beggar from coming back.]

After being rejected, the little beggar had no appetite. That was until an old Taoist priest named Qingchenzi from the nearby Qingfeng Temple came to perform a 70th birthday celebration for the Tongpan's mother. He saw that the little beggar had extraordinary talent and was a promising candidate for cultivating the Dao.

Qingchenzi then told the magistrate that his companion had a connection with the immortals and that he wanted to bring him back to the temple to cultivate the Dao.

However, the magistrate still hoped that the little beggar would study hard and make a career in the government, so he immediately rejected Qingchenzi's proposal and even had him kicked out.

The retainers under the Tongpan were all used to bullying others, and with several of them possessing extraordinary talents, they were beaten so severely that Qingchenzi nearly went to see the Grandmaster on the spot.

[This Qingchenzi is also a ruthless person. How could he bear to suffer such a loss? He knew that this little beggar would have a promising future. Being able to train such a disciple would definitely bring honor to the master.]

[So after he left, he performed a ritual of the Outer Demonic Way and cursed the judge to death.]

[Speaking of which, this wasn't without cost. It could be said that even if all the good karma he had accumulated in his lifetime was wasted, it wouldn't be enough. He would have to be an ox for three lifetimes to atone for his sins, but that's a story for later.]

When they heard this, everyone was shocked.

I never expected that this Taoist priest had so many incredible methods.

He cursed people to death from such a distance.

How can others defend against this?
Zhang Chulan looked at his master at this time.

"Master, do you know what this external demonic path is? Is there such an evil method?"

Hearing Zhang Chulan say this, the old Taoist priest spoke slowly.

"In the past, people talked about evil demons and heretics. This evil demon and heretics refers to this external demon path. It is almost the same as the later Ye Maoshan."

"Although he cannot become an immortal, his methods are numerous and bizarre, making it impossible to defend against him."

"I think this ritual is the same as the Seven Arrows Book."

"The Seven Arrows Book?"

Zhuge Qing looked surprised.

"Isn't this the black magic technique used by Taoist Lu Ya to kill Zhao Gongming in Investiture of the Gods? How come it also happens in real life?"

The old master nodded.

"I've also read The Investiture of the Gods. Most of it is fabricated, but to be honest, many of the techniques in it have sources, and many of them are things that many Taoists of that era knew."

"This ritual can curse someone to death from a distance. Apart from the Seven Arrows Book, I can't think of any other rituals."

After hearing what the old Taoist said, everyone suddenly understood.

Zhang Chulan said at this time:
"It's true that all literary works don't come out of thin air. Many of them have sources and origins. Perhaps the owner of this Investiture of the Gods had seen this kind of magic before, so he wrote it into the book."

“Although it’s not as terrifying as the description in the book where “even the Golden Immortal cannot escape”, I think it’s still easy to curse someone to death.”

Everyone felt the same after hearing this.

Indeed. What Zhang Chulan said is very likely.

Many famous stories and novels have prototypes in real life.

At this moment, Feng Baobao began to tell the rest of the story.

[Once the Tongpan died, the vast family fortune quickly declined. They say a tall tree provides shade, but when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter quickly. The little beggar was quickly driven out by the Tongpan's family, and thus successfully became his apprentice.]

[And he gave the little beggar the Buddhist name Qingweizi, which was considered to have fulfilled his wish.]

[Little beggar, no, now I should call myself Qingweizi. Ever since I entered the Taoist temple and gained Qi, I have been able to learn and master everything with ease.]

[Qingchenzi saw this scene and was delighted.]

But soon all of Qingchenzi's knowledge was learned by Qingweizi, and no matter how much he tried to learn, he could not come up with anything new.

[Speaking of which, Qingchenzi also has these new things, namely those external methods, but learning these things will not make you an immortal.]

[In Qingchenzi's opinion, Qingweizi is the only person he has seen hope of becoming an immortal in all these years.]

[So Qingchenzi sent Qingweizi down the mountain to gain some experience and gain more knowledge about the mundane world.]

After Qingchenzi brought Qingweizi down the mountain, he used his heterodox methods to draw the South Heaven Gate on the white wall. He then secretly went inside the South Heaven Gate and stole a book of immortality.

[Later, a thunderbolt struck the clear sky above the Taoist temple, killing Qingchenzi instantly. However, the book stolen from the heavens was also preserved in the Taoist temple.]

what!
Everyone was surprised when they heard Qingchenzi's actions.

What surprised me was not that he did such a thing for his apprentice, but that Qingchenzi could actually draw the South Heaven Gate and then sneak into the heaven to steal things.

Zhuge Qing said at this time:
"I heard earlier that there's a strange technique that allows you to throw a rope into the air and climb to heaven. It's called the Immortal Rope."

"Could it be that the magic used by Qingchenzi is related to this immortal rope?"

Zhang Chulan couldn't help but feel curious when he saw how knowledgeable Zhuge Qing was.

"Zhuge Qing, how much have you seen?"

Zhuge Qing shook his head.

"It's in Youyang Zazu. There's even a record of the person who went to repair the moon, as mentioned by the owner of this notebook. There are some discrepancies, but this is still quite remarkable."

Zhang Chulan suddenly realized.

"So that's it."

At this moment, the old Taoist priest suddenly spoke.

"I know a little about this."

"That is, the place Qingchenzi went to was not the real heaven, but the heaven in illusion."

"Or perhaps it's the heaven he imagined."

“However, the content inside can automatically complete the immortal method because of the external demonic path. But if Qingweizi learns it, it will be difficult for him to become an immortal.”

Hearing the old Taoist priest say this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat.

But then he thought that the owner of the notebook was the reincarnation of Qingweizi after all. If Qingweizi became an immortal, the owner of the notebook would be gone.

Therefore, this will definitely not lead to becoming an immortal.

Think of this.

Everyone no longer felt so sorry about it, and could only say that it was fate.

At this moment, Feng Baobao continued reading.

……

When Qingweizi learned of this, he immediately rushed back to the Taoist temple. After burying his master, he discovered the immortal book that his master had exchanged his life for.

Although the contents of this immortal book could not offer the same insight into the truths found in human books, it was nonetheless accessible only to immortals. Therefore, Qingweizi's abilities grew stronger and stronger until he encountered Zhuge Liang, who was distributing jade to 81 people from the Three Kingdoms period.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately showed an expression of "as expected".

I just don't know what kind of magic skills Qingweizi learned that made him complete his magic and made Zhuge Liang say that he was very capable.

……

[It can be said that the two of them became good friends after a fight.]

After spending a long time together, both discovered each other's flaws, but Qingweizi remained calm. He was originally a little beggar, and his achievements today were a great blessing.

[As for whether one becomes an immortal or not, it doesn't matter.]

Since Zhuge Liang was feared by the heavens, he naturally could not become an immortal. Qingweizi planned to divert the heavens' attention to himself and help Zhuge Liang take on the heavens' punishment.

Zhuge Liang had been stealing the secrets of heaven for so many years, so he was naturally moved and rejected Qingweizi's kindness.

In his opinion, having such a friend was a great blessing, so how could he let his friend take the blame for him?

However, Zhuge Liang underestimated Qingweizi's stubbornness. He knew that since he practiced the outer demonic methods, he would be punished by the heavens sooner or later. The fact that he hadn't been punished yet was simply because his fate hadn't ended yet, and he could still help a friend with whom he had a similar temperament. So, Qingweizi used the method of altering the will of heaven from the immortal book, directly transferring all the backlash Zhuge Liang was experiencing to himself.

Zhuge Liang, with his infinite lifespan, could naturally withstand this backlash, but Qingweizi was different. He was still a mortal, so on the day of his transfer, a thunderstorm struck him, and he was killed instantly by the Thunder God.

However, the Thunder God, mindful of Qingwei Zi's benevolence and righteousness, did not throw his soul into the Heavenly Thunder Pool to suffer. Instead, he allowed him to reincarnate. He lived through the Daoguang era, and finally reincarnated into the modern era before traveling back to the late Qing Dynasty.

[Zhuge Liang was also able to occasionally conceal the secrets of Heaven and do things that Heaven was unaware of because of Qingweizi's transfer.]

After he figured out my location in Luoyang, he rushed over eager to meet this old friend of mine. However, I mistakenly thought he was there for a duel, so I engaged in a violent exchange. This also resulted in Zhuge Liang not immediately acknowledging me.

[In his eyes, I am no longer Qingweizi.]

[Now that he has mastered the method of transforming a fetus from a wet egg into an immortal, he's looking for me to help him protect the Dao. With Qingwei Zi's kindness, even if he dies at my hands, he's willing to do so!]
