Chapter 13 The man is as dead as iron

"Then I'll wait for him there, and talk to him by the way, and if he is really the one who can put my life's work to my senses, I will follow him to the death, and die for him." The boy stood up and resigned.

The Taiping Daoist looked at the back of the young man leaving, and counted a hexagram, but no hexagram appeared, and the old man's face became very solemn, "Who is this person?" How can there be people from the Meng family who have survived in the world, I can't figure it out, is he! The old man stood up violently and looked down the mountain with wide eyes, the fog slowly dissipated, revealing Meng Liu's face, and a few words were repeated in his mouth, "It's his descendant!" ”

Immediately spit blood and fell to the ground, the old man no longer dared to say anything about Meng Liu, the old man shook his head helplessly: "Ten hexagrams and nine are not allowed, Xuan and Xuan, the principle of the Great Dao, no matter what, help him one last time." The old man slowly got up and went back to the hut to wait for the young man's return.

And said that the young man left the Taiping Taoist, and waited for the arrival of Meng Liu in a temple on the side of the road, the young man came to the temple and stared at the clay statue, the clay statue was carved according to the third prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, it is said that the Ming Dynasty was strong under his governance, and the territory was thousands of miles, as for why there is such a statue standing here, the young man himself does not know, and he did not say if he asked the master.

About half an hour, Meng Liu followed Brother Zhuang to come, the young man heard the voice and came to the outside of the temple, just saw Meng Liu was about to come in, the young man looked at Meng Liu and Brother Zhuang and said: "Brother Zhuang, it's okay to send people here, thank you Brother Zhuang." ”

Brother Zhuang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, being able to help the old fairy do things is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes, since people are sent here, take me away." After that, Brother Zhuang turned his head and went down the mountain.

Meng Liu said loudly: "Brother Zhuang, it's already dark this day, walking the mountain road at night, as you said, it's easy to encounter wild beasts, otherwise you can rest in this temple for one night and then go." ”

"Don't worry, we only have mountain delicacies and wild game in our Immortal Mountain, and we don't have jackals, tigers and leopards or anything in this Immortal Mountain, so you can rest assured that he will go." The boy laughed.

"Yes, I sent you, and I will pay the errand, so I'll see you again." Brother Zhuang didn't stop walking down the mountain.

"Meng Liu? Is it? The young man brought Meng Liu into the temple and found two stools to sit on.

"It's me, I don't know if you're it?" Meng Liu asked.

"You're here to find me, and you don't know who I am?" The boy smiled.

"I came to ask you to come down the mountain on the orders of Lord Lu, and I don't know the rest." Meng Liu said.

"Then I'll tell you about myself, my surname is Zhang Taibai, the word Taiyue, the name and the word are taken by the master, I am an orphan, I was sent here twenty years ago, and I have been following the master, as for my master, everyone in the world calls him Taiping Taoist, his name is a god, the best Yin and Yang art, and what he has learned is mixed with Confucianism, law, Taoism, vertical and horizontal, etc." Zhang Taibai revealed his origin, "It's your turn now." ”

"My name is Meng Liu, I have lived with my mother since I was a child, I have never heard my mother say anything about my father when I am so old, every time I mention my father, my mother will beat me with a long strip, and tell me that my father has died a long time ago, and my family is in Ping'an Village, Dan County, which is only more than 100 miles away from Beiman, which is under the jurisdiction of Yan County, Beidi." Meng Liu's eyes were red, and he felt a pain in his heart when he thought that his mother didn't even know where she was now.

"It's in a small border town, why did you come here?" Zhang Taibai asked.

"That day, I went to the town to deliver firewood, and those northern barbarians knew that Master Cui Zheng and Cui were coming in a few days, so they thought that while Lord Cui had not come to loot the village once, our village was ransacked, and everyone in the village died, only my mother and Mr. were missing." Meng Liu's tears couldn't stop flowing, Meng Liu wiped a handful of tears with his sleeve, and then said, "So I just thought about joining the army, if I have the opportunity to fight the Northern Barbarians in the future, I must find my mother, where is she?" ”

"It's not free to join the army, it's better to start your own army." Zhang Taibai suggested.

Meng Liu subconsciously looked around, only to realize that he was on the mountain now, and then whispered: "You let me rebel?" What do I take to rebel? There is no money, no people, and I don't have power, besides, the current Zhao State is strong, and rebellion is no different from looking for death, you and I met for the first time, and you hurt me like this!? ”

"The eldest husband should hold a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements, besides, you say that Zhao is strong? I don't agree, the decline and fall of the Zhao State is only in this half a year, as for why, you will know after half a year, when the world will be in chaos again, the world of great controversy is coming, you go to the army now, your blade will only be against your own people, not the Northern Barbarians, then the Northern Barbarians will inevitably go south, hunting the Central Plains, when we raise troops again, we will definitely be able to make a big difference. Zhang Taibai continued.

"Money? Person? Or is it just a big talk to deceive people? Meng Liu's tone became a little impatient.

"These problems will be solved in half a year, and now all you need is your nod." Zhang Taibai is extremely confident in this.

"You keep saying that after half a year, how do you know that the Zhao family will be weakened after half a year?" Meng Liu asked.

"My master watched the sky at night, and the dragon veins were declining, and then he calculated a hexagram, and it was expected that the emperor star would fall within half a year, and the only person in this world who could be called the emperor star was the seriously ill old emperor of the Zhao family." Zhang Taibai explained.

"But why should I? According to what you say, there are tens of thousands of heroes in heaven and earth, as soon as the old emperor dies, the vassal kings everywhere will raise troops and the Northern Barbarians, what are we worth? It will only be swallowed up. Meng Liu was a little moved by what Zhang Taibai said, but he still had many concerns.

"As long as you can make a name for yourself and make yourself famous, you are not afraid that others will not know, and someone will join your team." Zhang Taibai said, "I have already thought about the first place we went to, Liangzhou. ”

"Liangzhou? This is Youzhou! Liangzhou is thousands of miles away from here, spanning the entire Central Plains! We don't know if we'll make it there alive! It's a shame for what you said. Meng Liu couldn't believe that Zhang Taibai would say such a thing.

"There are three reasons, one is because of the distance in Liangzhou, you are Lu Ji to let me go down the mountain, now I go down the mountain with you, Lu Ji will inevitably come to find you and me, he can't get out of Youzhou, we have to go as far as possible,

Second, Liangzhou is not only remote, but also the king of Liangzhou has grievances with the current emperor, and once the old emperor dies, he will definitely raise troops to rebel. Third, Liangzhou is mixed, and businessmen from all over the country have close contacts, so we can know the news at the first time, and wait for the opportunity to move when watching the sky. That's why we're going to Liangzhou. ”

"Good! Since you have said this, then I will definitely be with you! Meng Liu swore and said.

"The man is as dead as iron, try to see the hand, and make up for the crack!" Zhang Taibai laughed.
