Chapter 923: Crossing the Yellow Three Gates
Want to open it so soon?
Mai Ke looked at the old boy who ordered Xing Chongchong to ride a green ox out of the Han Valley, and was very surprised!
However, he did not show the surprise in his heart, because he knew that such a thing could not be done by man, and nothing could be done with God.
The old boy was able to decide to follow Mai Ke in an instant, and it must have been the guidance of the Holy Spirit that made him realize what the truth was and what it was worth pursuing.
Only in this way can he give up his thousand-year-old perseverance, resolutely change his course, get out of his hiding place, and send a letter to Guguan again.
And his letter valley this time has a completely different meaning from the letter valley of his ancestor Lao Tzu.
Lao Tzu went out of the valley because of despair, so he stayed away from the Central Plains and entered desolation, and it was impossible to get rid of despair, whether it was himself or his descendants.
The old boy's letter valley was because of hope, so he entered the prosperous world from many years of invisibility, and since then, he and his people have merged into the heavenly army, the heavenly kingdom, and walked the heavenly road until the heavenly home.
Mai Ke thanked God for this, and the Heavenly Army added a brigade of bull-riding warriors.
How they fought, Mai Ke will wait and see, but judging from their record just now, it seems to be very strong, otherwise they will not be able to eat Zhao Yijing's rebels completely.
It didn't take long, all the bull riders of the Lao Tzu family were assembled, there were a total of three thousand, and everyone rode a green ox, all of them were in good spirits.
The old boy personally stepped out, stood in the first place, and said to Mai Ke: "You can go!"
Mai Ke was about to take this group of newly recruited strong men on the road, when Fu Anjian spoke, "Hey, I said that the bet, is it over?"
yes! And this stubble!
The changes just now are dizzying, and I really forgot about it.
Mai Ke stopped and looked at the old boy, who was stunned. Haha laughed: "I forgot! Thank you for the reminder, little boy, you go and get the box on the ancestral hall!"
A majestic young man, in response to the call, the ox rushed away!
"I'll get it in a moment, I'll start with the thing I'm going to do for you! It is my Lao Tzu family who sent the elite of the clan to do a very difficult task for you! Now, all of our clan is dispatched to follow Mai Ke, naturally including the elite of our clan! Everyone saw the man who went to get things just now, he is my son, the next generation of boys, and at the same time, the captain of the elite team!"
The old boy explained.
So. The bet of "doing one thing" can be regarded as fulfillment.
Mai Ke said: "This matter definitely exceeds the original content, because from now on, all the soldiers of the Lao Tzu family will live together, live and die together, live and die together, and live and die together." Whether it's a difficult task or a daily battle! This 'one thing' is naturally included!"
"Yes, yes, Mai Ke said it better, not only one thing, but also all the people in the author's matter, all handed over to the Heavenly Army, of course, it is the fulfillment of the promise, how can my Lao Tzu family be a person who does not keep his word! Hahaha!" The old boy is happy now.
Truth. Sure enough, this honorary old boy is superior!
I can find him and appoint him as an honorary boy, my old boy has a unique vision of people, which is difficult for people to reach, hahahaha!
At this time. The little boy flew to the cow, holding a box in his hand, the wood of the black catalpa, very inconspicuous.
The little boy handed the box to the old boy with both hands, and the old boy handed it to Mai Ke and said, "That's it, you must put it away!"
"What is this?"
Mai Ke saw that the two men looked very cautious, and couldn't help but hesitate and asked.
"You don't need to ask, you just take it!" said the old boy in a deep voice.
Mai Ke had no choice but to accept it, and then swept the front of the box, as if struck by lightning.
What did he see!
Five big words!
The original manuscript of the Tao Te Ching.
This is priceless!
Mai Ke suddenly felt that Alexander, this is too precious!
However, Mai Ke doesn't attach much importance to these things, he doesn't know how much money he has, and as for the truth and significance of the Tao Te Ching, how can he compare it to the Bible!
Only mercenary businessmen will see the value of its cultural relics, regardless of its truth value, and Mai Keqi can be with them.
So, he handed it back and said, "A gentleman doesn't take away the beauty of people! This Lao Tzu manuscript is so precious that I can't accept it, so let's keep it in the Lao Tzu family." ”
The old boy hurriedly said: "How can this be reasonable! I did this according to the will of the ancestor Lao Tzu! If it is according to my will, I really don't want to give it to you! Do you want me to go against the will of my ancestors and be unfilial to my descendants?"
Mai Ke had no choice but to retract his hand, and he did not show off his descendants! This crime was too great, and the consequences were too severe! Even if he was not executed according to family law, he would be expelled from the clan and left homeless.
"Since this is the case, I will keep it first, but it still belongs to the Lao Tzu family. Mai Ke had no choice but to take a step back, and the idea in his heart was to find a chance to return it later.
After solving the staking problem, Mai Ke was about to set off, but he couldn't go again.
Yin's people are coming.
The liveliness of the Lao Tzu family, of course, can't hide from the Yin family next door, they advance and retreat together with the Lao Tzu family, and also organize a team of cavalry to join the Lao Tzu family's green bull team to serve the heavenly army.
Although Yin Xi forced Lao Tzu to do what he was unwilling to do, the descendants of the two families did not know, so the descendants still cooperated closely, and Yin Xi's descendants have always regarded the descendants of Lao Tzu as a teacher.
The head of the family of Yin Xi's descendants is called a disciple, and at this time, the contemporary disciple came forward and gave the old boy a gift to the old boy to see the teacher, and then said: "The teacher is on top, and the disciple wants to go with the teacher, so that he can listen to the teachings at any time, and at the same time protect the teacher from being disturbed by the small night, please ask the teacher to take his favor." ”
Mai Ke looked at this person, and as soon as he heard this, he knew that this Yin disciple was not trivial, but although she had more cavalry, the Heavenly Army already had more, and it didn't seem to be so urgently needed, plus there was also someone to defend it here, and there was ......
The old boy spoke: "Haha, that's good! Disciple, you have this intention, and I am very grateful, teacher! However, whether you join the expedition or not depends on Mai Ke's opinion, he is the trusted honorary boy of my Lao Tzu family, and he also represents the Heavenly Army." ”
Seeing that the teacher said this, Disciple Yin turned to Mai Ke, since he is an honorary boy, he is also an honorary teacher, so he also came to a set of etiquette for disciples to meet the teacher, and repeated what he just said.
However, this time it is time to listen to Mai Ke's teachings and protect Mai Ke's safety.
Mai Ke laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, so he told him about his arrangements: "You don't have to go with the expedition! I'll give you two tasks! First, protect Lao Tzu and your own family; second, monitor the passers-by in Hangu, and don't let every enemy soldier pass through Hangu, not in any direction! Can you do it?"
"The teacher's instructions, the disciple will do it for you even if he is broken to pieces! In this way, the disciple is here to wish the teacher's army a victory, and wait until the day of the teacher's triumph, and then have a wine party with the teacher!"
Disciple Yin immediately changed his rhetoric, and there was no stumbling at all.
Mai Ke then admired in his heart, isn't this an excellent diplomatic talent? At that time, he didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered him to succeed.
After another round of twists and turns, they returned to Hangu, where they came in, Bruce Lee had already completed the rectification, and Zhao Yijing surrendered again, which provided great help to the rectification.
However, Bruce Lee sued her because he had a broker who surrendered and rebelled, so whether he was forgiven and reused or not needed to be decided by Mai Ke.
Therefore, although he tried his best to help Bruce Lee, he was worried and didn't know what his fate was.
Bruce Lee reported to Mai Ke, and also specifically talked about Zhao Yijing's situation.
Surrendering and rebelling, of course, is particularly annoying to Mai Ke, but if it is not a real surrender for the first time, it can actually not be considered a rebellion in the rebellion. Mai Ke asked Bruce Lee what he thought of Zhao Yijing.
"I think he really wants to surrender this time, and he has some ability, and I hope to give him a chance. Bruce Lee directly expressed his opinion.
"Okay, give him another chance, but also supervise it closely, and if there is any rebellion, kill it immediately!"
As a result, these rebels were all owned by Bruce Lee, and Zhao Yijing served as a deputy and directly obeyed Bruce Lee's orders.
Only then did the army leave Hangu and cross Hangu Pass, that is, Qin Pass.
To the east of this Qin Pass, there are actually two passes, also called Hangu Pass, but at this time, they are no longer the dividing line of different political forces.
Even Qin Pass was only a small city inland, and there was not even a Manchu garrison, so the Celestial Army occupied this pass without much effort.
After the occupation, Mai Ke left a platoon of cavalry, along with all the infantry, to guard this Hangu Pass.
Then they marched north, all cavalry.
Four thousand on horseback, three thousand on bulls.
Those green cattle are also born alien, and their speed is not behind the war horses at all, and they have an advantage, which is stronger than the war horses, that is, their endurance is extremely strong!
The warriors on the bull were still facing backwards, and they also tried to change to face forward, but they did not succeed, and before they could do so, they became dizzy, so they had to turn their bodies again, or backwards.
And the warriors on horseback, looking at the bull riding face back, were very amused, and also wanted to taste something new, but the result was even worse, falling off the horse!
In the end, I came in a familiar way.
The army marched all the way, unimpeded, and soon reached the territory of Xiaxian County, where a big river stopped in front!
Bruce Lee was the first time he had seen China's great rivers, and he had been very familiar with the Mekong River before, and the water flow during the flood season was greatly increased, and there were rough waves, but he had never seen such a vicious river!
I saw a boulder in the middle flowing out of the water, dividing the river into three streams, forming three different landscapes, all of which were turbidity and tumbling, and huge waves were monstrous.
A local soldier told everyone that these three evil waters are called the Three Gates, which are the Human Gate, the Divine Gate, and the Ghost Gate.
Each door is extremely dangerous, especially the ghost gate.
Mai Ke decided to cross the river here and then jump into Zhongtiao Mountain!.
