Chapter 440: A Peerless Solution
The existence of the Yongle Dynasty would greatly weaken the strength of the Great Song Dynasty and hinder the emergence of the Southern Song Dynasty. If it still fails to stop the Jin army's destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty, and then there will be a Yongle Dynasty pestle in the south of the Yangtze River, the Great Song Dynasty will be completely dead. Therefore, the Yongle Dynasty must perish, not for the Song Dynasty, but for the sake of this nation. Because both the Jin soldiers and the soldiers and horses of the Yuan Dynasty liked to slaughter the city, Tian Shiyi couldn't sit back and watch those cruel things happen in front of his eyes.
Tong Guan's recital to the imperial court has been sent away for three days, and the Quanzhou shipyard has also gathered the strength of the entire shipyard, and is rushing to build the giant ship of the Tianci League day and night.
With the cooperation of 30,000 strong men guarding the city, Shezhou City should be fine. What's more, the brigade of the southeast generation has gathered near Hangzhou, and no one has the strength and courage to shake Shezhou City.
Tian Shiyi originally wanted to leave Hu Sanniang and a thousand Red Armor Lady Army behind, but Hu Sanniang refused to live or die, and finally came up with a reason that would affect the appearance of the eleventh brother's future nephew, so he was willing to follow the brigade on the expedition.
Tong Guanneng changed his mind and took the initiative to beg the Tianci Army to go to Hangzhou, which actually originated from a wonderful suggestion from Tan Zhi.
At that time, Tong Guan was in a state of confusion, worried that the soldiers and horses in his hands would not be able to destroy the Yongle rebels. Because the elite of the Western Army suffered too many losses, Fang La gathered all the soldiers and horses of the Yongle Dynasty to go to Hangzhou, which was nearly 400,000 rebels.
Tan Zhi was also very worried about this matter, and finally came up with a brilliant idea in half a sleep.
The next day, Tan Zhi hurriedly found Tong Guan and said earnestly: "Let's count a hexagram." ”
If someone said this to Tian Shiyi, he would definitely be kicked out of the door by Brother Eleven, but Tong Guan was like an initiation after hearing it.
The reverence of the ancients for ghosts and gods is by no means understandable to modern people like Tian Shiyi.
The emperors of the Song Dynasty believed in Taoism in every generation, and Zhao Ji was even better, which can be called a dedication to Taoism. He even proclaimed himself "the Taoist Emperor of the Sect", and during his reign, he built a palace and set up 26 ranks of Taoist officials, and issued them to Taoist priests.
What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom. The old man of the emperor believed in Taoism, and what courtier dared to believe in Buddhism. Therefore, for such a thing as fortune-telling, you must find a Taoist priest.
At that time, the official army happened to be stationed in Changhua, and Tan Zhi was appointed by Tong Guan and immediately went out to find the Taoist priest.
Changhua is not very big, and there is only one sixteen or seventeen-year-old ugly Taoist priest who is setting up a stall on the side of the road to tell fortunes. The Taoist priest is a little young, his robe is shabby, and he has a sheathed iron sword behind him, and his appearance belongs to the kind of strange person who can make people remember it for a lifetime at a glance.
The Taoist priest who set up a stall on the side of the road was not trustworthy, but Quanchanghua couldn't find a second Taoist priest, and this little Taoist priest was very ugly and unforgettable, so Tan Zhi reluctantly invited the little Taoist priest back.
Tong Guan was startled when he saw the ugly Taoist priest, he didn't expect that there were such ugly people in the world, and it was difficult for the parents of this Taoist priest to bear to raise him as an adult.
The little Taoist priest didn't talk much, and when he heard that he wanted to ask him to count a hexagram, he didn't even ask what he wanted, so he took out a small turtle shell, stuffed three copper coins in the turtle shell, and handed it to Tong Guan.
Tong Guan didn't speak, took the tortoise shell and shook it three times, then poured the copper coin on the table.
The sixteen or seventeen-year-old ugly Taoist priest was arrogant, squinted at the copper coin, and said casually: "The one who slays the red dragon is also dead." "58 reading
Hearing this, Tong Guan and Tan Zhi were stunned, and even the ugly Taoist priest who said this himself was stunned.
Manichaeism also has a name called Zoroastrianism, and the red dragon belongs to fire, which naturally refers to the pseudo-dragon Fang La. But what does it mean to be dead, can a dead man slay a dragon?
The ugly Taoist priest looked puzzled, and hurriedly picked up the tortoise shell and put it in the copper coin, and made a divination himself. When the three copper coins rolled off the table, the ugly Taoist priest's face suddenly became difficult to see.
Picking up the tortoise shell and loading the copper coin again, the ugly Taoist priest actually bit the tip of his tongue, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the tortoise shell, so he shook it three times, and then poured the copper coin on the table.
"Crackling!" The copper coins rolled off the table, and for some unknown reason, the three copper coins were broken into six pieces.
With a "snap", the ugly Taoist priest slapped the tortoise shell on the table and said angrily: "Demon, I will get rid of it." ”
After finishing speaking, the ugly Taoist walked out in a rage, and he didn't even clean up the tortoise shell and broken copper coins on the table.
Tan Zhi hurriedly ran over to ask what the hexagram was for, but the ugly Taoist priest said without looking back: "Daozu said it, and his old man doesn't know." ”
Tong Guan looked at Tan Zhen, Tan Zhi looked at Tong Guan, and the two faces were confused. Both of them felt that the ugly Taoist priest must be sick.
As soon as the ugly Taoist priest left, a soldier suddenly reported that there was an old Taoist priest who asked to see him.
Although the eunuch Tong was unhappy, because the old man of the emperor had always treated the Taoist priest well, the two eunuchs did not dare to be too rude, so they invited the old Taoist priest in.
The old Taoist fairy wind Dao Gu, seeing the two adults politely, kept saying that the little Taoist priest who had just left was his apprentice. He heard that the apprentice was invited to the barracks by two adults, so he hurriedly chased after him, so as not to let the apprentice talk nonsense and ruin the major affairs of the court.
Tong Guan was overjoyed after hearing this, and felt that he had found the right master, after all, what the little Taoist priest said just now was indeed nonsense.
In order to win the trust of Tong Guan and Tan Zhen, the old Taoist priest showed some means, only to see a black iron sword flying around the old Taoist priest's body, and finally flew out several zhang to cut down the young branches of the tree.
With a sound of "Cang", the old Taoist priest returned the sword into the sheath, and his chest rose and fell slightly, making the two eunuchs stunned.
The old Taoist priest flicked his right hand lightly, and quietly flicked a ball of transparent silk thread into his sleeve, but he was secretly scolding Monk Fang in his heart. If it weren't for the three punches from Monk Fang, how could he easily lose his strength.
This old Taoist priest was indeed pretended by Bao Daoyi, and the ugly Taoist priest just now just happened to be seen by Bao Daoyi, so he casually made up a lie that his own disciples were good nonsense. As for the flying black iron sword, it is just controlled by a special method with transparent silk threads, and it is not much different from the truth of a marionette, as long as it is not when the sun is blazing, it is difficult to see the flaws.
Tong Guan and Tan Zhi were shocked and hurriedly asked Bao Daoyi's origin. Bao Daoyi recited nonsense, then made a hexagram for Tong Guan, and then received a thank you gift of ten ingots of gold from the eunuch Tong and floated away.
