29, the death of Zhang Jiao
readx; After the First World War, Bocai was defeated and died. Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, together with Cao Cao, who rushed to help in the battle, moved to Xihua, defeated the Xihua Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Huang Long, and then took advantage www.biquge.info of the victory to chase the defeated army into Dong County to defeat the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bu Ji in Cangting, this battle slaughtered more than 7,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army, and Qu Shuai Bu Ji was also captured.
With the destruction of the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun, Runan, and Yingchuan counties, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and Cao Cao were divided into three routes, Zhu Jun turned to attack the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army, and Huangfu Song was transferred to Guangzong, and Cao Cao continued to stay behind to sweep away the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.
Guangzong was previously besieged by Lu Zhi, but because of Zhang Jiao, Lu Zhi could not attack for a long time, and was framed by Zuo Feng, the squire of the Yellow Gate, and the Han court removed Lu Zhi from the post of coach and replaced Dong Zhuo, the Taishou of Hedong. However, Dong Zhuo was greedy for merit, and was defeated again and again by Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army, and even almost died, but fortunately he was rescued by the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang who passed by.
Zhang Jiao returned to Guangzong, and soon the news of Zhang Jiao's illness and death came out, and Zhang Jiao took over the Yellow Turban Army of Guangzong from his younger brother Zhang Liang.
Jizhou, Yanshan Mountains, Wuling Mountain.
Wuling Mountain is known as three miles of different days, a mountain has three seasons of the name, here the heaven and earth aura of the rich is rare in the world, the mountain people who live in the vicinity rarely get sick in their lives, it is rumored that there are immortals living in the mountain, but no one can see it.
On the top of the peak of Wuling Mountain, there is a huge stone platform in the snow-capped cliffs, and behind the huge stone platform is a cave.
But in front of the cave, there was a kneeling figure, and this person was Zhang Jiao, who had been "sick and dead" for many days.
Suddenly, Zhang Jiao's body jerked up, as if he had been hit hard in the back.
"Poof!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Zhang Jiao's already pale face became even more bloodless. And he threw himself forward, and his forehead hit the snow hard, and under the thin snow was a hard stone slab, and his forehead hit the stone slab, and there was a muffled sound.
However, Zhang Jiao immediately got up again and continued to kneel.
At this moment, the stone door of the cave opened, and a warm wind blew out of it, and the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, bowed down, and said, "Master! ”
Behind the stone gate, there stood an old man dressed in a sky-blue robe, with white beard, blue eyes and a childish face, and a quinoa staff in his hand. The old man was kind-hearted, but Zhang Jiao could feel the killing intent coming from him.
This person is Zhang Jiao's mentor Nanhua Lao Xian, Zhang Jiao went into the mountain to collect medicine, and almost died under the cliff, but fortunately was saved by Nanhua Lao Xian. And the old immortal of Nanhua saw that his roots were good, so he took it into his door and passed on his "Taiping Technique".
"Humph! You still have the face to come back to me?! Nanhua Old Immortal's voice was very gloomy, in stark contrast to his kind appearance.
"Disciple, I know that I am ashamed of my master's death." Zhang Jiao bowed his head and said.
"I saved your life and preached your Taoism, but you did me a big deal!" Nanhua Old Immortal raised his left hand as he spoke, and Zhang Jiao, who was kneeling on the ground, was actually shot up in the air, "Tell me, how should I execute you?!" ”
Zhang Jiao's face showed pain, but he didn't struggle, but said with difficulty: "Master, the dragon qi of the great man can't be broken!" If there is no dragon energy, my great Han people will never be able to turn over, disciple ...... The disciple really didn't want to see the world's living beings miserable, so he asked the master to condemn him! ”
Nanhua Old Immortal's originally charitable face showed a hideous color, and said: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, all things are dogs, as long as I can become immortals, Hugh said that the people of the Han Dynasty, even if it is all living beings in the world, I will not hesitate to do it!" And if you are not used by me, I will make you unable to live or die! As he spoke, he smiled again: "Do you really think that I will rely on you for all my plans?!" ”
Zhang Jiao said bitterly: "Master, the common people are the foundation of the world, and if you do this, you will inevitably suffer from heaven's punishment, and the disciple does not want the teacher to be condemned, so I implore the teacher to stop!" ”
"Damnation?! Hum! I'm going to go against the sky, what should I do?! Nanhua Old Immortal sneered.
As he spoke, he let go of his horns, and the latter fell to the ground, but struggled to get up, and said, "Master, even if you don't think about the common people, you also think about yourself, as you said, heaven and earth are unkind and all things are dogs, and we cultivators are seeking a ray of life in the midst of the heavens, and you are undoubtedly self-defeating in doing so!" ”
However, as soon as Nanhua Lao Immortal raised his hand, Zhang Jiao flew out with blood spurting upside down, and fell heavily into the snow, leaving a dazzling red on the snow.
"Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao! Although you are very talented, don't forget, you are still taught by me, teach me?! You're still too tender! Nanhua Old Immortal said disdainfully.
Zhang Jiao struggled to get up again, looked at Nanhua Old Immortal, and said sadly: "Master, do you really want to be like this?" ”
"Humph!" Nanhua Old Immortal snorted coldly.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" After Zhang Jiao coughed violently, he tried to straighten his body, sat cross-legged, and then said: "Master, since you don't listen to the advice of your disciple, the disciple will finally thank you for your great kindness, and for the sake of today's plan, only by taking responsibility for you can we talk about your great kindness!" ”
Nanhua Old Immortal frowned slightly, and for a while he didn't understand what Zhang Jiao wanted?
"Burn my body, the karmic fire is raging, what is the joy of life, and why is it bitter to die? With my body, I will be sacrificed, three lives and seven lives, and I will fall into Yama forever! ”
As Zhang Jiao recited, a flame suddenly rose from his body, and this flame was different from ordinary flames, it was actually gray, in the gray flame, Zhang Jiao kept repeating the recitation, and his face was extremely peaceful, as if there was no pain.
At the moment when the gray flame rose, Nanhua Old Immortal took a few steps back in horror, "Karmic fire?!" ”
Karmic fire, also known as hellfire. It is a flame used in the underworld to punish evil spirits, and it can also purify negative karma. It's just that at the same time as purification, the soul of the purified person will also be burned clean by the karmic fire, which means that it will be wiped out, and there will be no chance of reincarnation.
As the karmic fire burned on Zhang Jiao's body, Nanhua Old Immortal gradually felt it, and the most obvious feeling was that the mana seemed to suddenly become more and more refined.
"I see!" Feeling the changes in his body, Nanhua Lao Xian sneered and looked at Zhang Jiao, who was gradually becoming transparent in the karmic fire.
People in the world do evil for good all their lives, and those who do evil add karma to their bodies, and they protect their bodies with merit for those who do good. The more karma there is, the more it will be suppressed, especially for those who are cultivators, and it will be more difficult for them to cultivate on the path of cultivation. The more merit you have, the more you can do it, not only will you prolong your life, but it will also be of great help to your monastic path.
Nanhua Lao Xian has cultivated all his life, although he has good deeds, but he is more evil, so his karma is more than his merits. Now Zhang Jiao has been burned by karmic fire with his own body, eliminating karma for Nanhua Old Immortal, so Nanhua Old Immortal will naturally benefit a lot.
Finally, the gray karmic fire gradually extinguished, and Zhang Jiao completely disappeared between heaven and earth.
Nanhua Old Immortal's face did not change, and he did not show any emotion, but secretly sneered.
Then he returned to the cave, took out a piece of rune paper, and after casting a spell on the rune paper, the rune paper turned into a yellow light and flew out of the cave, heading straight for Xichuan.
After Zhang Jiao's "death", the morale of the Yellow Turban Army was greatly reduced, although Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were Zhang Jiao's younger brothers, but after all, there was a world of difference from Zhang Jiao, under the conquest of officials and troops in various places, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were also killed in battle, and the main force of the Yellow Turban in various places was also annihilated, and the small Yellow Turban Army either simply dispersed or hid in the mountains and forests, in short, the original huge Yellow Turban Rebellion disappeared in less than a year.
