Chapter II: Self-Evidence

Yang Yun raised his head, and at this time, the dark clouds dispersed, the bright moon in the sky was in the sky, and the stars appeared.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen such a bright starry sky when he looked up.

Yang Yun is an astronomy enthusiast, and his biggest hobby after work is to observe the stars with an astronomical telescope, which is very unusual and has kept him single for a few years after graduating from college, and his family, friends and colleagues laugh at the telescope as his girlfriend.

He remembered that he was observing the starry sky before crossing over.

"Legend has it that the nine-star alignment will cause all kinds of supernatural phenomena when it occurs, but there is no nine-star alignment when I look at the stars, even if there is no seven-star alignment and six-star alignment, and the only time that human civilization has a nine-star alignment occurred in 1149 AD, that is, the nineteenth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, not the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. The alignment of the nine stars only causes changes in the tides of the Earth, but the tide of the planets is negligible compared to that of the Moon. ”

Just as he was losing his mind at the sky, suddenly there was a gust of wind behind him, and someone suddenly attacked him in the distance.

In the past, Yang Yun definitely couldn't react, but since he had "superpowers", he felt that his ears and eyes were clear, and his sixth sense was much stronger than before, as if every pore of his body could feel everything in the world.

Yang Yun just turned over with dexterity, and dodged the attacking arrows.

The left and right blades broke through the air, and two black shadows slashed at him, at this critical juncture, Yang Yun was calm and composed, and he controlled the "superpower" that was surprisingly successful before, controlling the two knives to slash together.

"Uhh

Sparks fly!

It was as if the universe had shifted, and the two people who cut it didn't understand what was going on, and their knives would actually hit each other, and then the two were shocked by each other's strength, and they fell to the ground before Yang Yun could make a move.

Yang Yun quickly dodged away, retreating five or six steps in a row to confront the attacker.

"Lin Huochang, this turtle son is a little prickly, it seems to be a practitioner!"

"This small body also dares to be meticulous, and I want to have some skills!"

As he spoke, three strong men in leather armor, iron helmets, leather boots, and a pair of bows and arrows on their backs, along with two people who had risen from the ground, gathered around.

They raised shaped knives with narrow straight blades, small blades, and long handles, pointing at Yang Yun from afar.

Yang Yun carefully identified it and saw that the other party was dressed as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty.

This is a government army squad with five officers and soldiers, and the "New Tang Dynasty Book and Soldiers" says: "The soldiers are 300 people as the regiment, and the regiment has a captain; Fifty people are in a team, and the team is positive; Ten people are fire, and the fire has a long life. ”

"I'm not a Nanban, I'm a common man of the Tang Dynasty." Surrounded by enemies, Yang Yun defended his identity while guarding against a few people who continued to attack him.

The knife in the hand of the man known as the chief of the forest fire pointed firmly at Yang Yun and shouted: "Since you are the people, why didn't the barbarians run away when they came?" ”

Yang Yun was speechless for a moment, in that memory that did not belong to him, as long as the people in the city were well-armed, all fled.

"Forest fire chief, look at the ground."

One of the soldiers reminded him.

Lin Huochang and the rest of his companions couldn't help but look at the four barbarians on the ground behind Yang Yun who had died of blood loss. Previously, he wanted to directly step forward and take down Yang Yun, but at this time, with concerns, Lin Huochang frowned and said, "It seems that the dead are barbarians!" ”

Several officers and soldiers clamored: "I caught a live mouth, there are still four dead people on the ground, and the credit of God has come down from God, and now it is developed!" ”

Immediately, the five officers and soldiers began to look at Yang Yun, and at this time they all realized a problem, if they wanted to get this credit, they had to solve the kid of unknown origin in front of them.

"It's not good, everyone be careful, don't fold here."

Lin Huochang and the others were cautious, raising their knives to Yang Yun, approaching step by step, knowing that fighting alone may not be the opponent of this young man with a strange background, and they were ready to rush forward.

Yang Yun saw that these five officers and soldiers wanted to kill and steal merit, and immediately shouted and reprimanded: "The Southern Barbarians are coming, the officers and soldiers in the city don't want to defend the city, they only care about fleeing for their lives, and now they don't ask the reason for killing people indiscriminately. ”

Being scolded by Yang Yun, the four pawns were even more embarrassed, but the forest fire chief seemed to be touched, and the Tang knife in his hand drooped down.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "This person has a clear conscience and knows how to reflect. ”

Yang Yun originally wanted to reimburse a few evil pawns like four barbarians, and he left Shu to go to Guanzhong to see the romance of the Tang Dynasty, but now he changed his mind.

"Take me to the county magistrate." Yang Yun shouted.

The responsibilities of the Datang County Order are heavy and specific, covering administration, civil affairs, justice and public security, economy and finance, account preparation and social management, education and education, etc., and have the responsibility of defending the territory.

"Hey, you're still doing it...... Brothers, kill him, regardless of whether he is a barbarian or not. An officer and soldier said with a fierce face.

Lin Huochang's face was gloomy, and he slapped the man's head and scolded: "Listening to his words, most of them are rangers who have read books and have some skills...... What is the difference between killing even one's own people and animals? ”

In the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, many young people who relied on their martial arts and advocated chivalry and righteousness walked the world, so they were called rangers by the world.

Although Shu is separated from the outside world by the most majestic and dangerous Qinling Mountains in the world, due to the frequent chaos of the southern barbarians here, many rangers come to Shu to wander around in order to earn fame and win a lifetime of wealth.

Yang Yun knows that the so-called rangers are just a group of idle people in society who are lazy and hard-working, Wang Changling's poem has clouds, "Cicadas sing in the empty mulberry forest, and Xiaoguan Road in August." Out of the plug and into the plug, everywhere yellow reed grass. has never been quiet and guest, and they are all old and dusty. Mo learns from the ranger, and praises the purple horse. "He's not proud to be a Ranger.

Yang Yun said: "I know the situation of the barbarian siege...... The barbarians will be killed tomorrow night, and none of you will be able to escape! The barbarians have blocked the roads around Shifang, and take me to the county order organization to resist you to survive. ”

"This kid is clearly talking nonsense, kill him!"

The officers and men glared angrily one by one, but no one dared to bully them.

Lin Huochang had some insight, frowned, and was skeptical.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Yang Yun's mouth, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a brick from the ruins next to him rose into the air and went straight into his hand, revealing a neat and neat skill of telekinesis.

For the first time, Yang Yun used his abilities in a calm state of mind, but he was also handy.

"Huh?"

Several officers and soldiers around him were shocked.

Yang Yun said: "If you don't take me to see the county order, the remaining people in this county will all be dry bones, and no one will be spared, do you want to die or live?" ”

Lin Huo grew up and was shocked: "What are you still stunned for?" Quickly ask this chivalrous man to go to the county office, and then go to report the Su County order. ”

……

……

The five officers and soldiers were very careful, Lin Huochang put his hand on the handle of the knife, for fear that Yang Yun would mess around, and the other four people walked behind carrying the corpse of the barbarian, and their eyes did not leave Yang Yun for a moment.

Yang Yun was "invited" to the county office, which was filled with officers and soldiers inside and outside.

Yang Yun saw a long queue of carriages outside the yamen, some people were packing large and small boxes of things, and the people were in a hurry.

"This is to abandon the city and flee, no wonder the barbarians have not yet attacked the city, as if they were in a no-man's land, swaggering into the city to chase and kill me."

Yang Yun went straight into the court, and two people in official uniforms walked out of the curtain in the back hall.

The round-necked robe usually worn by officials in the Tang Dynasty was usually made of fine linen cloth with dark flowers, with a collar, sleeves, and placket with a border, and a horizontal shirt was added near the knee at the hem of the shirt, so it was also called "shirt". During the Wu Zhou period, it was popular to embroider different patterns on the robes of officials of different ranks, the civil official robes were embroidered with birds, which was quite elegant and elegant, and the military officials' robes were embroidered with animals, showing brave spirit.

One of the two officials in front of him had a light green official uniform, which should be the Qipin County Order, and the other had a light blue official uniform, thinking that he was a county official, a chief bookkeeper, and a county lieutenant.

"Su County Order, Hu County Lieutenant."

Lin Huochang stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

Shifang County is the middle and lower county of Jiannan Province, with Yang Yun's understanding of the Tang Dynasty's official system, Shifang County's county order rank is from the seventh grade, and the county lieutenant is from the ninth grade, and the manpower under its jurisdiction is limited, and it is difficult to do anything when the barbarians invade.

“…… Su County Order, when we arrived, we found him standing there, his body looked thin, but a few brothers went up and couldn't do anything, the four barbarians next to him just died, as if he had killed him, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he sucked the bricks on the ground on his hand, very evil, as if there would be some kind of magic law. ”

Lin Huo's face was full of jealousy, obviously impressed by Yang Yun's ability before.

Lieutenant Hu was tall, his face was thin, and his face was shrewd and capable, he looked at Yang Yun and asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" Where did it come from? What was the purpose of coming to Shifang County during the war? Tell me honestly, otherwise, even if you have three heads and six arms, this county government is not a place where you can come and go when you want. ”

County Lieutenant Hu was full of emotion, but it was polite to say this, it stands to reason that none of the strangers who appeared at this time could be trusted, and they would not ask Yang Yun about his origin at all.

Yang Yunxin said: "When you come to a strange era and a strange place, you can't do it without an identity background, if you want to live like a human being, you have to make a name for yourself...... said that it was ordinary people, and I was afraid that I wouldn't even be able to get out of the court. ”

"I'm here to help you pacify the thieves!"

Yang Yun said to Su County Ling and Hu County Lieutenant with an unfathomable expression.

Su Xianling, who wore a veil hat on his head, black leather boots on his feet, and a leather belt around his waist, looked at Yang Yun with a very solemn gaze, but did not speak.

The county lieutenant next to him sneered: "Don't be ashamed, tens of thousands of barbarians outside the city, you want to calm down alone?" Give him a few rounds of money and tell him to get out. ”

Yang Yun sneered: "I am a student of the Jiaoshan Academy in this city, and I have worshiped Wuzun Zhenren as a teacher since I was a child, this time I stayed in the city on the order of my master to help you defeat the thieves, and those four barbarians died at my hands." ”

The Sui Dynasty unified the north and the south, the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, with the surname Li of Laozi and the Tang Dynasty, giving special courtesy to Taoism, Taizong Ming edict Taoism lived above Buddhism, and the Tao was set before the Buddha, and Taoism had to flourish.

Tang Gaozong Xianqing convened the monks three times in the inner hall to discuss; In five years, the monk Jingtai and the Taoist priest Li Rong sparked a controversy over Lao Tzu's transformation of the Hu Sutra; In the second or third year of Longshuo, the controversy still did not end. As a result of these Buddhist and Taoist debates, the Taoist side took the teachings of the Buddhist scriptures and produced various scriptures to counter Buddhism, and Buddhism also absorbed a large number of Taoist teachings and fabricated scriptures to confront each other.

After experiencing Wu Zhou and worshipping Buddha, Xuanzong ascended the throne, believed in Taoism, and recruited famous Taoist priests from all over the world to preach Taoism and magic in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, and held fighting meetings from time to time, so Taoism became popular in the world.

There are even records in history of Tang Xuanzong learning stealth techniques from Taoist priests.

Therefore, during the Kaiyuan and Tianbao periods, the folk learning Taoism was not regarded as the demon of the cholera dynasty, but was highly respected by the world.

What those charlatans and speculators dare to do, Yang Yun doesn't think he can't do it, others use tricks, but he is a real "superpower".

Hearing Yang Yun's words, there was a noise inside and outside the county office, and everyone whispered.

The thieves were huge, and after the government evacuated the people, they were about to escape, but a Taoist priest came and said that he wanted to help them quell the thieves, which was simply incredible.

"Silence."

Su Xian Ling walked back to the back of the bookcase, picked up the waking wood and patted it hard, and the hall immediately fell silent.

Su County Commander looked Yang Yun up and down, groaned slightly, and asked: "The official has never heard of the name of Wuzun Zhenren, you said that you killed those barbarians, how can this official believe it?" ”

Yang Yundao: "I have studied the Tao with my master for many years, although I have not learned the magic of turning the river and the sea, but some simple exercises can still be ......."

"Oh? Exercises? That's what Lin Huochang said before...... Airshot? Why don't you give it a demo? "Su Xian Ling was very interested in the spell in Yang Yun's mouth.

Hu County Lieutenant reminded: "Nine times out of ten, this kid is using a trick to cover his eyes, and he may not be credible." ”

Su Xian Ling glanced at Hu County Lieutenant, and said unhappily: "Whether he is honest or true, after seeing it face to face, this official will decide." Little brother, if you want the official to believe you, show your real skills! ”

Yang Yun once again became the target of public criticism, and everyone in the court stared at him.

"Stinky boy, the county magistrate is talking to you, do you hear that?" A county magistrate next to him saw that Yang Yun was full of arrogance, and he was already unhappy, so he even stepped forward to take someone.

Yang Yun was on guard, his body stood still, and he applied a powerful mental power to the man, who turned around halfway, accelerated and rushed towards the wooden pillar on the right.

"Bang!"

"Poof!"

The last one knocked out and lay on the ground, and passed out instantly.

"Huh?!"

Everyone in the public hall looked at Yang Yun in astonishment, and even Su County Ling couldn't help but stand up.

Yang Yun did not stop there, and this time he focused on Su Xianling.

However, he didn't dare to casually cast the "spell" of mind control, firstly, because the Su County Order had already taken precautions, and the spiritual power of the lord of a county must be much stronger than that of ordinary people, and secondly, it was too evil to control people's behavior with his mind, and once the other party regained control of his body, he would definitely treat him as a big trouble and kill him on the spot!

Once the Taoist priest's spell is so powerful that it threatens their lives, he will definitely give priority to strangling the danger in the cradle.

Yang Yun's gaze fell on the awake wood in front of Su County.

"To show that I have a spell, it is difficult and threatening to control people's bodies, it is better to take a teleportation, simple and practical."

Thinking of this, Yang Yun immediately exerted his mental power on Xingmu.

In front of everyone's eyes, Fang Xingmu moved first, then moved to the edge of the table little by little, rose into the air, and flew slowly in front of Yang Yun.

Hu County Lieutenant pointed at Xingmu and was dumbfounded: "Demon law, this person knows demon law!" ”

Zi Bu was silent, but Su Xian Ling was much calmer at this time, and slowly followed Xingmu towards Yang Yun, as if to find out if there was an invisible line as a traction, and at the same time stretched out his hand to block others from approaching Xingmu.

But even so many pairs of eyes didn't notice anything wrong with Yang Yun's move, and in the end, Xingmu was pushed back to the table by him with his mental power little by little.

"Whew!"

When Xingmu returned to the table, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Yun said awe-inspiringly: "Now you can prove what I said, right?" ”

Su Xian Ling looked at Yang Yun, his eyes were very different from before, and he said in an unbelievable tone: "Sure enough, it is a famous teacher who is a high apprentice, and this official admires it." Xiao Zhenren, what happened to those four barbarians? ”

Yang Yun said: "I used spells to control their blades and kill them in the form of aerial objects. ”

Su Xian Ling waved his hand to the county lieutenant Hu next to him, and the county lieutenant Hu walked to the corpses of the four barbarians with a lantern, squatted down and came back after a detailed examination: "As he said, the wound blade is very wide, it was cut with a wide knife, and it was not injured by the Tang knife of the brothers in the city, it was indeed caused by cannibalism. ”
