"Master, where have you gone? The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info: "A ten-year-old child greeted him from afar.

"Okay, you don't ask me if I agree, and I accept the apprentice behind my back." Heart Five is now gone.

The old man seemed to have a weak heart, and suddenly lost his majesty just now, "You don't know where you went, leave me an old man to live here alone." I'm not fun. Huang Zhen, come and meet your senior brother. "The master and apprentice were still tense just now, but in fact, the relationship is deep. inadvertently revealed his true feelings.

The child named Huang Zhen is a young man, although he is young, he seems to be much more mature than Xinwu. He came over respectfully to greet the master, and hurriedly met the senior brother in a proper manner, and did not forget to give a salute to Tan Si and the others.

Master Xu didn't seem to like the red tape of the little apprentice, "Why are you so much courtesy, your senior brother sneaks out to play with the master behind his back, it's not a good thing, you don't want to learn from him." How's my pheasant going? ”

"I just picked it up, and this is the one who called the master to take advantage of the heat." Huang Zhen replied respectfully to the master.

"Bring me the two gourd wine I stole from the monkeys in the mountains last month, your senior brother has a guest, let's entertain them." Huang Zhen was very obedient, and hurriedly ran to get the wine.

It's very obedient, Tan Si is also a good wine person, he doesn't care about what pheasant meat, and when he heard the monkey wine, he suddenly couldn't care about it, and he also showed his greed, "Master Xu's monkey wine is the fruit wine that the wild monkeys on the mountain collect a hundred fruits, and then bury them in the tree hole to ferment themselves, and make them naturally?" ”

"Uh, the kid knows the goods!" Xu Xiaoshi met his bosom friend and immediately became excited. The two little apprentices just want to fill their stomachs, even if they eat swan meat, it is also a tyrannical thing, where do you know the kind of frenzy that gluttons see when they see food.

Today, someone can share the happiness of foodies, and his heart is full of enthusiasm, "You know, I didn't put a lot of effort into stealing these two gourd wines, and I took aim at them last year when I saw the monkeys on the opposite mountain hoarding fruits for the winter." In those days, I went to inquire every day, and the hundreds of monkeys buried many mountain fruits, but many of them rotted or were eaten by them. Only the fruit from the hollow of a tree remained. You must know that it is not easy to make wine from this fruit, and the hole in the tree is not rotten wood, so that the fermented wine will not have a peculiar smell and will not leak out. It is not enough to have a tree hole, but the fruit must be tightly sealed so that the fruit below can ferment. These conditions were not enough, and in the winter, when the monkeys ran out of food, they would find out the hidden food for the winter. It was my luck that I found fruit in this tree hole. I was afraid that the monkeys would eat them, so I carried a lot of corn to feed them every day. And he kept there so that the monkeys would not steal the fruit, and thus kept watch over the hollow of the tree for three months. I didn't dare to be negligent when it snowed and rained, so I got these two pots of wine, and you said that it was difficult to drink this wine. It's just the taste of fine wine that my little apprentice doesn't understand, and he says that it's not worth my trouble for some monkey fruit. Speaking of the pedantry of the little apprentice, Xu Dwarf was full of grievances.

"It's so worth it, such a natural wine is hard to buy, and the younger generation has only heard the legend that there is this wine, and I don't want to have a good mouth today." Tan Sitong hurriedly complimented.

"Hehe, not only the wine, but I guarantee you haven't eaten my pheasant." The old man shook his head and tail when he said that he was eating, and he was very happy. He ran to the front room.

There is a room in front with a thatched roof and bamboo walls. The old man had already pulled out a large lump of yellow mud from it.

"Called Flower Chicken?" Tan Sitong asked.

"What's the name of the flower chicken, my one is much better than it." Xu Xiaoshi threw the big lump to the ground on his stomach. Wow, the aroma is overflowing. The tempting scent made Ryuuji smash his mouth, and he was heard to swallow a big sigh.

Peel off the yellow mud, it is a lotus leaf, and when you peel off the leaves, the white and tender chicken is exposed. The old man pulled out the belly of the chicken again, and there was a bamboo chicken inside, and the bamboo chicken was stuffed with all kinds of mushrooms and spices in the mountains. The bamboo chicken has a nest of small bird eggs in its belly. Master Xu first took out the egg and handed it to Du Xinwu, who was already salivating, "I haven't eaten Master's good things for a long time, give you a few junior brothers, he is still young, and he needs to make up for it." ”

Huang Zhen happened to come over with two gourds, Xu Xiaoshi took it, tore off two chicken legs and threw them to the two: "Get out and gnaw on it." The two children happily ran away with chicken legs and eggs.

The air is filled with the aroma of chicken, the meat of bamboo chicken, the fragrance of lotus leaves, and the peculiar fragrance of mushrooms, mixed with the mixed aroma of various ingredients. Before they ate it, Tan Sitong and Long Er had already seduced their mouths full of salivation.

With a loud voice, Master Xu pulled out the stopper of the wine gourd, and the fruity aroma of a hundred fruits seeped out.

It was a feast of exotic aromas, and everyone's noses experienced an unprecedented experience. Chromophobia also, Confucius Cheng does not deceive me. Xu Xiaoshi took a sip of wine himself and handed it to Tan Sitong. Tan Sitong took it and poured it violently, and it was really a rare elixir in the world. I don't know how many kinds of wild fruits are mixed with that wine, and when the juice reaches the mouth, it is ever-changing, slightly sour, fragrant, sweet, and really lingering in all kinds of flavors. He hurriedly handed it to Ryuuji to taste.

Apparently Ryuuji was more interested in throat-burning spirits, he took a sip and frowned, and returned the gourd to Master Xu. The focus was on the chicken.

This time it was cheaper for Tan Si and the two of them, Xu Xiaoshi simply drank a gourd with Tan Si and the same person, and then didn't let Long Er spoil this hard-to-find good wine.

The pheasant is delicious, but it is too small to withstand the sweeping of the three people. Everyone gnawed all the bones clean, and they were still reluctant to look at the pile of residues. The fruit wine is low, and the two of them have already drunk the gourd. Pouring the last drop of wine juice into his mouth, Tan Si agreed and sighed: "If the predecessors' martial arts are not invincible in the world, this delicacy and wine must be the first." ”

"Haha, morality, benevolence and righteousness are all hypocritical, and martial arts fame and fortune are a fart. Only in this beautiful water and spiritual mountain, wine and food can be regarded as the real happiness of life. Master Xu became more and more drunk, and his words became more wild and wanton.

"The ancients said that the behavior respects Confucius and Mencius, and the thought serves the old village. Master Xu is really a Taoist. But benevolence, righteousness and morality are the foundation of human beings, but not hypocrisy, which the younger generation does not dare to agree with. Born to cultivate oneself, enter the world to help the people. The foundation of the sages is also the foundation of their lives. Taoism is not a famous religion and worships nature, pays attention to the absolute saint and abandons wisdom, and governs by doing nothing, Huang Lao said that you are quiet and the people are self-determined, how is this not a kind of great morality, great benevolence and righteousness! ”

"Hehe, the son can be taught. The avenue is invisible, the great love is boundless, Taoism is talking about imitating the nature of heaven and earth, no self, no name and no thing. If everyone in this world understands this truth, what kind of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and etiquette do they need? ”

Xu Xiaoshi looked at Tan Sitong with drunken eyes: "Young man, don't think of yourself as a hero who can save all people, no one in this world can save anyone." After Yao Shun, there was a business, and there was no Han after Yashan. If the avenue is not good, you can't win a world alone! You are Chen Jinnan's chosen military advisor, right? His heart is higher than the sky, but his life is not thinner than paper. Don't believe him. ”

"Hongmen does intend to make me a military advisor, but I haven't agreed yet. Chen Junshi has his own merits, and I don't want to be a hero. But we should all promote the avenue, so that everyone understands this truth, and then the world will be peaceful. ”

"The three eldest families of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, one is the ancient sage Confucius, the other is the prince of the West, and the other is the ancestor emperor of the Han people. As long as people have color and want to be affected by the five aggregates, the demon barrier is free, you can save one person, you can't save thousands of people with demon obstacles, you save a lifetime, you can't save the cycle of life and death. Xu Dwarf stood up and paced into the peach forest. His expression is no longer like the intoxicating man in the wine, but more of a wise man who sees through the red dust, "Who is our enemy?" Not the Manchu Emperor, not the tyrannical foreigner, everyone's enemy is himself. Who can win themselves? ”

Tan Sitong listened to his drunken words and was decadent and negative, which was very different from the thinking of the masters he had encountered, but every sentence was a mantra. Although he didn't agree, he just wanted to hear more about his opinions, and this person had disdain for Chen Jinnan, and he was also implicated in Hongmen, Tan Sitong had already guessed it, and hurriedly followed.

Blue sky, green water and green mountains, peach forest road spotted with moss. The birds frolic in the woods, the fish swim in the water, they have no strife in the world, they do not kill, because they have no thoughts, but they are a hundred times happier than people. Tan Sitong thought.

"Do you know who I am? I am Zheng Xu, the former helmsman of Hongmen. I am a descendant of the Zheng family, and since my Zheng family gave the country a surname, my Zheng family's ancestors have only taken Hongmen to fight against the imperial court for generations. I don't know how many people have died, and how many iniquities have been done. After my father's death, I was no longer willing to continue to do this futile thing. The descendants of the Zheng family are driven by this so-called mission, and none of them have lived happily in their lives. No one can live on his own terms. If no one can be happy by himself, what can he talk about to help the common people? So I don't want to be a helmsman, and I don't learn any martial arts. Hongmen naturally didn't do it, and Chen Jinnan also forced me to learn what Wen Taowu strategy every day. I had to perfunctory him, I didn't like the way of Confucius and Mencius, I only envied those romantic characters in the Wei and Jin dynasties. After reading Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring, he secretly ran to Hunan. Sure enough, I found this good place where I don't know Qin Jin. There is no restraint here, don't think about the world, and don't think about how to kill people and seize the country. Like a fairy, I have realized the natural boxing method and the true meaning of life. If the world is like me, only seeking inner peace, not fighting or grabbing, only to take the gifts of nature and you, to be able to eat enough, to experience the wonder of nature, and to live only a few decades, then what more can you ask for! ”

"If everyone can be like their predecessors, then why worry that this world is not a glass world." Tan Sitong had already noticed Xu Dwarf's background, but it turned out that he was the chief helmsman and heard it suddenly. His experience and perception are even more mixed. This person is obviously not inferior to Chen Jinnan in wisdom, but his angle and attitude are different. Compared with Chen Jinnan's killing to stop killing, Tan Sitong felt that Xu Xiaoshi's escape and seeking peace seemed to be closer to benevolence and righteousness. If everyone is like him and does not fight with the world, how can this world not be as happy as fish and birds? But there are also evil fish in the water, and there are still fierce beasts in the mountains. Who can protect those kind and docile animals from attack?

Xu Xiaoshi doesn't want to be that kind of protector, is he? What is the protector of this world? Human beings can't do it, hatred can only bring hatred, and violence will only perpetuate violence. There is only one rule that everyone agrees to follow. is the god who protects this world.

"What kind of rules are you going to make? Will the strong people in this world who have a natural advantage like beasts of prey be willing to follow the rules fairly? Xu Xiaoshi listened to Tan Sitong's thoughts and asked rhetorically.

"I haven't figured it out, but I'm going to work hard for it!" Tan Sitong said firmly. saw that Huang Zhen's child didn't know when he had come, and he seemed to understand whether he understood or not, listening quietly to the two of them.

Seeing that the two of them had discovered him, Huang Zhen said: "Master, there is a letter from Gangli County saying that Ma Wanfu of the Elder Brothers' Association killed the head of the regiment, Du Caizheng, and they are already preparing to raise troops to attack Li County. ”

"If they want to mess with them, I don't care. This Ma Wan learned a little kung fu from me, and he got into trouble, a few years ago he followed Chen Jinnan's apprentice Qin Laosi, and his courage is getting bigger and bigger, but his brain is getting more and more confused. ”

"Last month, the water in Dongting Lake rose, washing away many embankments, destroying many people's houses and flooding grain. However, the relief of the imperial court has not been in place for a long time, and I heard that some people have taken the opportunity to make money to the people. Now Changde is a poor livelihood for the people, which is also the official forcing the people to rebel, and the apprentice thinks that Brother Ma is doing the right thing. "Although Huang Zhen is young, he is quite assertive. Speaking logically, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, he dared to contradict the master. This peach blossom island is peaceful, but Changde, dozens of miles away, is bloody and rainy. Huang Zhen has been smart since he was a child, and he is naturally chivalrous and courageous, and he is obviously dissatisfied with his master's escapism.

This is another boy who is not afraid of things and has courage. Tan Sitong saw that Huang Zhen's courage was different from that of ordinary children, and he secretly admired. It seems that Xu Dwarf is not ignorant of the world, and he still has a broken connection with Hongmen. The apprentices recruited are also bloody men, and this person still can't break the red dust.

I didn't see this Ma Wanfu in Sichuan that day, and there was no name of him in the seabed, so I didn't want this person to dare to rebel. I told Leng Congfeng that they should be cautious and not to cause chaos in the court at this time, and I don't know if they should convey it to him.

However, Tan Sitong is a native of Hunan, and knows that Dongting Lake has floods every year, and the floods are not eliminated, so it seems that it is rare for the people here to live and work in peace and contentment. The inaction of local officials often stimulates contradictions, and Huang Zhen's statement that the officials coerce the people is not unreasonable, and it seems that this matter has to be asked again.

Tan Sitong is familiar with history, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the past, and Hong Xiuquan and Shi Dakai in the near future. Knowing that a hasty rebellion without a clear goal and program is very difficult to achieve, and most of the results will only end up with more broken families and more deaths. So in his heart he did not approve of the riot. But when the common people have nothing to love and have no way out, what can they do but resist? Tan Sitong frowned, thinking about how to properly handle this matter, but there was no way for a while.

Xu Xiaoshi was obviously worried when he heard the news, and he didn't blame the apprentice for the collision. It's just that he didn't want to talk to Tan Si anymore, his personality was originally weird, so he didn't say a word at the moment and left directly.

For hundreds of years, his Zheng family led the Hongmen to keep rebelling, and kept dying people, and when they came to their own hands, they didn't want to create murder, so they fled to this deserted island outside the world. But his apprentice still continued this old path, is it his own fault, or is this world really forcing people to rebel! How is Xu Dwarf's heart not mixed.

Of course, he would not have thought that he would go against the will of his ancestors and flee from Hongmen to choose a new way of life, how could this not be another kind of resistance? The rebellious spirit and violence of his Zheng family have actually been deeply integrated into his blood, and they have been imperceptibly influencing the people around him.

He would not have predicted that his two well-cultivated little apprentices would be even more vigorous than their senior brothers in the future. One of them later became the bodyguard of Sun Wen of Hongmen, and after Tan Sitong's death, he followed Sun Wen to his death and helped him establish the first democratic republic in Asia. One changed his name to Huang Xing, established the Huaxing Society, and led the general elder association to make Sun Wen's alliance, and these three people set off a bloody storm in China until the court was completely destroyed.

But as Tan Sitong worried, they buried the old world, but they were not ready to rebuild the new order. Huang Zhen originally had a lot of wisdom and prestige, and he still had the opportunity to turn the tide. But his early death caused the situation to spiral out of control, and finally left the land to endure decades of war and disaster.

The civil strife also led to the Japanese taking advantage of the situation, and the Japanese invasion lasted for more than a decade, costing the land 30 million lives. Although the aggressor failed in the end, the regime that won the victory was killed from the sea of corpses and blood, and the people in power in exchange for killing naturally advocated the rule of force, they were simple-minded, advocating violence against violence, overthrowing **** with ****, and strictly guarding against it.

Since then, Sun Wen's democratic society has existed in name only, and the history of the 24th Dynasties continues to repeat itself. Such an endless cycle also makes the ideal society that Tan Sitong exchanged for blood hope still difficult to achieve after a hundred years, and it seems far away.

Tan Sitong gradually understood the doubts that in the past hundred years, Hongmen Group Dragons and Wanyunlong, Chen Jinnan and other high-level Hongmen leaders have lived in seclusion in Hunan and Hubei. But the top priority is not to sort out the internal entanglements in Hongmen, how should I intervene in the Li County Rebellion? Help the court quell the chaos and slaughter his brothers, or help the elders to rebel and overthrow the rule of the little emperor in one fell swoop? Under the eyes of the wolves, can they withstand civil strife?

In any case, we have to rush to Li County first. Tan Sitong returned to the bamboo house, called Ryuuji and left.

Xu Dwarf had already gone back to the house to sleep, and Tan Sitong knew that he was tired of killing and was upset, so he didn't bother anymore.

Xin Wu chased after him to go along, Tan Sitong specially sent him back to serve the master this time, naturally he couldn't take him away again, and told him to wait for the master well, and wait until he became an adult to get the same master before he could re-enter the rivers and lakes. The three of them said goodbye, rowed a boat to the edge of the island and left the Peach Blossom Island, which was like a fairyland on earth.
