What does it mean to be unlucky? What does it mean to be unfavorable to be a teacher? This time, Liu Yi really realized it.
At an auspicious time, they set out of the valley quickly, selected a small village before sunset, and then attacked quickly and took it in one fell swoop, so as to boost morale and demonstrate the undefeated majesty of the righteous army. Objectively speaking, this line of thinking is very correct, with the help of the glorious and high passionate atmosphere when going out to sacrifice to the sky, to fight a beautiful war of annihilation on the same day, what a great awesome and how to boost morale.
But who would have thought that after a thousand calculations, there was a mistake in attacking the target. There are only five people in the small village besieged by 5,000 elite soldiers, a dry old man, and four ugly and weird old ladies, all of whom are less than the price of a war horse, and the 5,000-strong army is not engaged in a war of annihilation at all, but "a fast horse to visit the farmland", which makes General Liu embarrassed?
"General, that, the prisoner, the captive has been brought, brought ......" Liu Ergou is Liu Yi's guard, equivalent to the personal secretary in modern society, and he basically has nothing to do with charging into battle, and the work of multiple companions is to serve the leader and pass the word or something.
It is said that this work is quite easy, and Liu Ergou is shrewd and has a certain degree of attainment in sycophancy, so the young man is more open in front of General Liu. However, today's work is not very easy to do, General Liu's face is as black as the bottom of a pot, the green tendons on his forehead are jumping vigorously, his eyes are full of bloodshots, he is always fascinated when he looks at people, and constantly radiates a creepy chill, and he can feel the suffocating pressure from a long distance, which is very penetrating.
"Hmph!" Liu Yi wanted to yell a few times and scold him fiercely, but the fault was not in others but in himself. It's the goal he set, it's the order he gave it, and now it's wrong, and he wants to scold someone, who will he scold? However, this shit is very uncomfortable to hold back in my heart, my blood pressure has soared to three hundred, and my face seems to have been scraped off, and everyone thinks that the corners of his mother's mouth are smiling, and I can't wait to get out of this damn military tent for the rest of my life, it's really depressing.
"Oh, the invincible, brave and handsome general of benevolence and righteousness is above, and the grass people have kowtowed to you!" General Liu was hesitating, Liu Ergou was hesitating, and suddenly an old man broke into outside the military tent, thin and weak, with a wrinkled face, and after coming in, he crawled to the ground with a "bang", pulling his neck and shouting.
Liu Ergou glared at him angrily, didn't squeak, didn't make any blocking moves, just raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at General Liu. In his opinion, although the old guy broke in without permission, his appearance may change the embarrassing atmosphere at this time, as long as General Liu is angry and beheads him into dog meat mud, this matter will be over.
"Who are you?" Liu Yizai looked at the old man carefully, and muttered for a long time before asking coldly.
Liu Yi was angry in his heart, full of resentment, but he couldn't suppress it, and another important reason was the dry old man kneeling in front of him and the four ugly old ladies sitting together at the door of the military tent. A family of five occupies a village, there must be something wrong here, but nothing has been seen yet, and it needs to be carefully observed and observed.
"General, with your eyesight, you should be able to see at a glance that the grass people are wilderness villagers!" the dry old man was slightly stunned when he heard this, looked at himself stupidly, and then said in surprise.
"Wilderness villager?" Liu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly.
"Yes, it's the wilderness villager! Oh, general, I won't tell you, the grass people have been waiting for your arrival for more than 30 years, today, today, you are finally here, woo woo......" The dry old man didn't know why, and immediately became excited after saying a word, and even crawled to Liu Yi, his eyes were red, and he said in a choked voice.
"You, what did you say?" Liu Yi was startled when he saw this. Okay, what's the situation, we haven't tried him yet, why did he get hot first? Moreover, what the hell did you say, "We've been waiting for more than 30 years", our General Liu is only 26 this year, how did he make a fool out of more than 30 years? Could it be that the buddy is too mature in appearance, and the interests of showing old age?
"General, I won't tell you that when the grass people were young, the old lady of the grass people asked someone to tell the fortunes of the grass people, saying that the grass people would meet nobles when they were sixty years old, and this is really true! You see, the grass people have just reached sixty, and you have made a shining debut, this is really fate!" The dry old man did not stop after a shock, and continued to say excitedly.
"Huh?" Liu Yi was even more confused when he heard this, why didn't this old man understand what he said? But looking at his appearance, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like a sick person, a serious mental illness.
"General, I won't tell you, the ancestor who told the fortune of the grass people also said that the grass people got acquainted with the general, and the unlucky days of the grass people will come to an end, if you are lucky enough to be able to worship under your door and be a soldier, then the future will be bright, and the achievements are limitless!" The dry old man continued to climb forward a few steps tremblingly, and only stopped when he saw that he was about to reach the surface of his feet, and then rubbed his snot vigorously and said.
"You, if you become my soldier, you will have a bright future?"
"yes!"
"How old are you?"
"Sixty! The grass people just reported to you......"
"And how many years do you think you'll live?"
"Well, the grass people can't say it. Maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, maybe half a year, anyway, the grass people are estimated to live less than 100 years old, because the grass people are sick and rheumatism, which is quite serious. ”
"Half, half a year? Then you still have a fart future?"
"Hey, the general's words are wrong! As the saying goes, 'people live for a lifetime, and the grass and trees live for an autumn', the life of plants and trees is short, and most of the time is growing, and there are only a few days of maturity, but in these few days, it has brought cotton and linen brocade food to the world. The same is true for people, although a life is long, most of it is growing, and when the time comes, it will take a great deal of time?"
"Hmm, do you mean that even if you join our army for only half a year, you will still achieve great things?"
"Well, the grass people don't dare to guarantee it......"
"Don't you promise you're?"
"Ah, that, that, although the grass people dare not guarantee that the grass people can achieve great achievements, but they will assist the general to create great achievements!"
"It's up to you, an old immortal who is fast into the coffin?"
"Well, as the saying goes, 'there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure', there are grass people from the side, I believe it can bring some unexpected things to the general, quack ......"
"Something unexpected? Hmph, what good thing can you give Ben Jiang, what a joke. ”
"Ahh The grass people mean that the grass people are old, have a lot of experience, and have a lot of ghost ideas, so if you are an assistant or something, you will be able to create a great cause!"
"You've fought before?"
"Oh? no, no ......"
"And you've led soldiers before?"
"No ......"
"Have you ever been an official?"
"No ......"
"Ever been a strategist?"
"No ......"
……
"There is no this, there is no that, why do you dare to say that you can bless me to create an immortal cause?"
"Well, well, the grass people think that the grass people are relatively old and have rich life experience, as long as you are willing to listen to the grass people, at least in terms of life style, you can ensure that you will not go astray. ”
"What does it mean?"
It means how to behave. ”
"Presumptuous! I'm a dignified general, and you still use you to teach me how to behave? Come on, pull this guy out, and beat him to death!"
"General and slow! Excuse me, have you been upset lately? Are you unhappy? Have you ever felt that your life is stressed, you can't eat, you can't sleep? If so, it means that there is something wrong with your life style, a serious problem!"
"Huh, what the hell are you trying to say?"
"Why did the grass people want to say 'Lu Bu' died?"
"You, who are you?" Liu Yi's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he stood up and asked nervously.
"Lu Bu" is a character in the fantasy of the "Chi You" Lord who uses the Heavenly Dao Law, except for himself, only that Lord should know, the Emperor of Shu and the other "Five Tiger Generals" are also known to each other, and they must not communicate with each other, otherwise they will be punished by God. But the old guy in front of him knew, how could he not surprise Liu Yi?
In the middle of the "Makuten Continent", there is a continuous mountain range that runs through the north and south, and there is a highest peak called "Breaking Sun Peak". According to legend, "Heng", the originator of the Mutian Immortal Dao, once enlightened here, and finally broke through the extreme realm and soared to the realm of true immortals.
Time flies, time flies, predecessors have successful cases, and later generations have begun to follow suit. In the millions of years after the departure of "Heng", it has become a "holy place" for cultivating immortals and enlightening the Tao, caves, sects, ancestral halls, and even later "holy areas", "holy realms", "holy mountains", etc., cultivators flocked to it, occupying hundreds of thousands of miles of land boundaries.
There are too many people, there are many things, such a crowded environment, such a noisy atmosphere, not to mention cultivating immortals, even if you can't sleep soundly, who knows when the great immortals will come to the door to snatch treasures and bully people! Everyone is so close, their eyelids rush to the door in the blink of an eyelid, and it is too late to run.
There are many heroes in wartime, and this matter has been proven countless times throughout the ages, as for the reason, it is very simple, because there are successes and failures, and everyone can see the successes and failures. In that era when the stars were shining, there were a large number of "stars" who were remembered by the world, and their deeds were passed down from generation to generation.
In various stories, the vast majority of "stars" have passed away, a very small number of whereabouts are unknown, and only a pitiful few people have become "darlings of the sky" and soared to the true fairy world, but it is just a legend, and the scene was blocked when the ascension came, no video, no recording, and no witnesses to confirm, whether it is true or not, it is unknown.
Time flies, and another million years have passed, the aura of heaven and earth here has been exhausted, the resources have been exhausted, the water is dry, and the land is barren, and there is no longer the vitality of the past, and the cultivators who can't see hope can only leave silently in helplessness, leaving behind gorgeous and exquisite pavilions and pavilions and former glory.
Slowly, the "Breaking Sun Peak" has reverted to the ordinary dangerous peak that is inaccessible, although there are many admirers who come to visit and pay respects, but most of them are hurried passers-by, there are very few cultivators in the Anxin Mountain, even if there are so few people who want to find another way, but because the aura in the mountain is too thin, the speed of cultivation is extremely slow, even if it is better to cultivate in the ordinary city than here, it is just a hasty to hold on for more than a hundred years, and leave with their sleeves.
On this day, on the "viewing platform" at the top of the "Breaking Sun Peak", an old Taoist priest wearing a golden dragon-patterned Taoist robe flew in. The speed of this old Taoist priest's flight is not very fast, to be exact, it is very slow, but the shape is too exquisite. Stepping on the colorful clouds, the golden dragon pattern robe is gently spread in the wind, the hair and beard are white and crystal clear and neatly combed, and a pair of bright eyes are full of spirituality and majesty.
This person is the "Immortal Saint" Han Dong, who has been hiding by a puddle in a ravine I don't know what kind of fishing, and he came here today to settle a grudge, a grudge that has been buried in his heart for too long.
He Ming, the Taoist name "Zhiming", is known as the "Buddha Sage" because of the establishment of the Buddhist Taoist sect "Bodhi Temple". To tell the truth, with his current cultivation strength, in the realm of the "Mutian Continent", there are really few characters who will make him feel afraid, at most he is very self-aware to recognize a bear, but if he wants to play "lore", who the hell doesn't have a few fucking life-saving skills!
So, with this in mind, his old man reluctantly agreed to the invitation of Senior Brother, the culprit who planned all the cunning conspiracy, the "Immortal Saint" Han Dong. Of course, not only him, but also his seven brothers and sisters were also invited here. As for what tricks this "Immortal Saint" powerful person used to connect the brothers and sisters who have not heard from each other for a long time, it is unknown, anyway, the people who should be present today are all together.
In He Ming's impression, this senior brother is a strange person with a dual personality. On the one hand, with an excellent physique, excellent talent, and a smart brain, whether it is cultivating immortal arts, or specializing in something, it is quite fast. Moreover, he is very easy-going in speech and demeanor, and always likes to wear some simple, even shabby "peasant clothes". Take a sip of wine, chat a few words, and come and go to envelop people.
On the other hand, he is a great conspirator known for his intrigues, and his scheming is as deep as the Deep Void, and the effects of any action can be for millions of years.
To take the simplest example, from formal apprenticeship to raising a butcher's knife to his benefactor, who would have thought that the mastermind behind it was none other than this senior brother who "respected the teacher" and "set an example" and had a good relationship with anyone? You must know that the life of the great monk is the top secret in the secret, not to mention the apprentice, even the biological Lao Tzu will not say, if it is not deliberately observed and planned, if you want to hit the trick, the difficulty is comparable to ascending to the sky, but he is hit with one blow, one blow kills, now in retrospect, He Ming still feels cold behind him.
For such a person, He Ming added more than two hundred and forty cautions in his heart, and when he first received the invitation, he refused it without thinking about it. However, be careful is careful, in the face of the huge temptation, he still couldn't hold back, and resolutely chose to take the risk, the reason is that the old bastard repeatedly sent out invitations, and also threw out a great temptation that his own father can betray, and the powerful monk highlighted the cultivation as the bottleneck of a whole bottle of anti-heaven-level elixir, which made He Ming moved.
In retrospect, this move is somewhat reckless. The old bastard has just appeared on the scene and is full of weirdness, especially this outfit, the golden dragon pattern robe, it symbolizes what everyone knows in their hearts, only the real king dares to wear it like this, in the "Mutian Continent", according to legend, only "Heng" has been so magnificent, others, low-key can save life, the tree is big but will be popular!
"Hehe, it's weird, isn't it?" Under the gaze of everyone, the "Immortal Saint" Han Dong slowly fell, his hands were lightly behind his back, he swept his eyes with a smile, and then said lightly.
"You, your voice?" He Ming heard this, the uneasiness in his heart soared suddenly, and his blood pressure was like a soaring rocket, challenging the height limit of the human body vigorously, always wanting to break away from the mortal womb of the flesh and jump into a higher level of the void.
"Who are you?" Silence, silence. At the top of the mountain, the cold wind sat at the table, and after a while, a shrill and frightened woman's voice sounded, interrupting He Ming's thoughts. "It's the fifth junior sister!Hehe, after so many years, she's still like that, she can't hold her breath......"
