Liu Du asked the locals where Lingshan was, and then led Zhao Yun and others to Lingshan. Not long after Liu Du walked on his front foot, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Zhuge Liang's cottage, and the boy opened the door and saw Liu Bei's big ears, and immediately remembered Zhuge Liang's instructions to him.

Liu Bei said: "Hanzuo General Liu Bei came to meet Mr. Wolong!" ”

The boy replied, "Sir is out this morning. ”

Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang where he went, and the boy replied: "The trail is uncertain, and I don't know where he went." ”

Liu Bei asked again: "When will I be able to return?" ”

The boy looked at Liu Bei and said, "The return date is also uncertain, or three or five days, or more than ten days." ”

Liu Bei was melancholy, and Zhang Fei said: "If you don't see it, you just go back." ”

Guan Yu also said: "It's better to go back and let someone come to listen." ”

Liu Bei had no choice but to say goodbye and instructed the boy: "If Mr. returns, it can be said that Liu Bei will visit." ”

Liu Bei got on the horse and went back, and met a person on the way, with a lofty appearance, a handsome posture, wearing a free scarf, wearing a soapcloth robe, and holding a wooden staff from the mountain path.

Liu Bei smiled: "This must be Mr. Wolong!" ”

Liu Bei hurriedly dismounted and saluted forward, and asked, "Is Mr. Wolong?" ”

The man asked, "Who is the general?" ”

Liu Bei reported to his home, and the man bowed: "I am not Kong Ming, but Kong Ming's friend Boling Cui Zhou Pingye." ”

Liu Bei saluted him: "I have heard the name for a long time, and I am fortunate to meet him." Beggar to sit on the ground and ask for a word. ”

The two sat opposite each other on the forest stones, with Guan Yu and Zhang Feizhi standing on one side. Cui Zhouping asked, "Why does the general want to see Kong Ming?" ”

Liu Bei approached and said: "Fang is in a big mess today, and the clouds are disturbing in all directions, I want to see Kong Ming, and ask for peace and stability in the country." ”

Cui Zhouping said with a smile: "The public is mainly to control chaos, although it is benevolent, but since ancient times, chaos has been impermanent. Since Gaozu slashed the snake uprising, he punished Qin without Taoism, and he entered the rule from chaos; Two hundred years of mourning and peace; After a long period of peace, Wang Mang usurped and rebelled, and then went into chaos from governance; Guangwu Zhongxing, reorganizing the foundation, reverting from chaos to governance; For 200 years now, the people have been in peace for a long time, so the war has recurred. The general wants to make Kong Ming mediate the heavens and the earth and make up for the future, but it may not be easy to do, and it is in vain. Don't you hear that 'those who follow the heavens escape, and those who go against the heavens work', 'where the number is, it is not reasonable to take it; Where is life, people can't be strong'? ”

Liu Bei felt that Cui Zhouping was very reasonable, but he couldn't agree: "What Mr. said is honest and high-minded, but as a Han man, he should be a Han family, how dare he entrust his number and life?" ”

Cui Zhouping raised his head and smiled: "The husband of the mountains and wilderness, it is not enough to talk about the affairs of the world, and it is appropriate to ask Mingming, so he talks about it in vain." ”

Liu Bei asked, "Mr. Meng is taught." But I don't know where Kong Ming went? ”

Cui Zhouping said: "I also want to visit it, but I don't know where it is going." ”

Liu Beixin said that Cui Zhouping is also a talent, and it is not bad to ask him to assist him: "Please Mr. go to our county with you, what if?" ”

Cui Zhouping politely refused: "Foolishness is quite happy and idle, and he has no intention of becoming famous for a long time; See you soon. ”

After speaking, he made a long bow towards Liu Bei. Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei got on their horses and rushed back to Xinye.

Lingshan, Gong Jiu looked at Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, I have nothing to teach you, these four books are my treasures, so I will give them to you together." ”

Zhuge Liang silently took these books, unfolded them and glanced at the titles, "Qimen Dunjia", "Lonely and Void", "Three Talents Secret Record", "Great War Wonders".

Zhuge Liang held these four books as if he had obtained a treasure, knelt on the ground and thanked him, and Gong Jiu looked at Zhuge Liang and nodded with satisfaction. Yu Gongjiu pinched his fingers and said to Zhuge Liang: "Lord Ming is coming at this time, you can stay for a while." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded tearfully, and pushed the four-wheeled vehicle that Gong Jiu was sitting on to go out to bask in the sun, Gong Jiu seemed to remember something, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Although the Eight Array Diagram is exquisite, there is still one person in the world who has a higher and deeper formation than the Eight Array Diagram, and the old man has seen it with his own eyes. It's a pity that this person unfortunately died early, otherwise you will be able to see the wonders of it, and you will also be able to make up for the omissions of the Eight Array Diagrams. ”

Zhuge Liang asked who it was, and Gong Jiu shook his head and sighed: "It's useless to say, those who prosper the Han Dynasty must be the same generation as today's son, not Liu Xuande!" Kong Ming, have you decided? ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, Sima Hui was good at looking at qi, Sima Hui recommended Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang was still willing to believe it. just casually bypassed this topic, and only talked about family life with Gong Jiu, three years of time, three years of contact, so that the old and the young were reluctant to each other.

However, there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, and after waiting for a long time to see the Ming Lord who said that Gong Jiu said, he had to slowly send Zhuge Liang away. Zhuge Liang has not yet learned all his skills, but he knows that his time in the world is running out, and the four books he gave Zhuge Liang are his highest skills, and they are also skills that Zhuge Liang has not mastered.

How much he hopes that God can give him another three years, so that he can give Zhuge Liang a good time and learn all the remaining skills, but unfortunately, the reality is always cruel.

Suddenly, he thought of something, he ran back to the thatched house with his barely moving legs, took out a thing, he shouted Zhuge Liang's name with all his strength, but his favorite disciple had gone far away, and he would never hear his cry, perhaps, his fire of life had been burned out......

Yu Gongjiu's last wish, God still fulfilled it for him. Zhuge Liang, who was walking on the mountain road, suddenly turned around, and in the heart of this young man, an inexplicable sadness swelled up, could it be that Master He......

Zhuge Liang panted and ran back to the mountain, only to see Yu Gongjiu sitting on a four-wheeled vehicle, closing his eyes peacefully, Zhuge Liang fell on Yu Gongjiu's body and cried bitterly.

"My lord, be careful. The mountain is not high, but it is steep and tight. Zhao Yun led Liu Du up the mountain, but heard a cry not far away.

Liu Du saw a young man lying on the body of an old man sitting on a four-wheeled vehicle, who was still holding a white goose feather fan.

Zhuge Liang is dead? Impossible, I am fortunate to have found Zhuge Liang, how could he be dead! It's no wonder that Liu Du was stunned when he just went up the mountain, the feather fan and the four-wheeled bicycle were Zhuge Liang's symbols, but he immediately reacted, Zhuge Liang was only twenty years old at this time, how could he be a gray-haired old man.

Zhuge Liang noticed that someone was watching him behind him, got up and wiped his tears with his long sleeves and said, "How many dare you ask?" ”

Liu Du stepped forward and bowed his hand and said, "General Pingxi of the Great Han Dynasty and Emperor Liu Du of Heaven has come to ask to see Mr. Wolong." ”

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Du, he only used rumors about Liu Du through other people's rumors, and saw that Liu Du was also a gentleman, and his aura was different from ordinary people. Could it be that he is the master that Master said before?

Zhuge Liang said: "In the lower Zhuge Liang, the word Kongming." I wonder what the general is looking for me? ”

Liu Du looked at this young man, couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, Zhuge Liang said: "The teacher has passed away, but I can bury my teacher and then send a note to the general." ”

"Mr. Wolong, if you need our help, you can speak up." Liu Du and Zhao Yun helped carry Yu Gongjiu off the four-wheeled vehicle and returned his body to the thatched house.

This is Gong Jiu's last wish, he will not take anything with him after he dies, so he will be cremated with the thatched house. In front of the fire, there stood a young man, who did not shed tears, but grasped the thing in his hand more vigorously, which was a white goose feather fan, which was the last thing that Master Gongjiu wanted to give to his favorite apprentice before he died.

Zhuge Liang bid farewell to Gong Jiu and led Liu Du and others to his home. Zhuge Liang invited Liu Du and Zhao Yun to take a seat, and Zhuge Liang saw that Zhao Yun was handsome and calm, and couldn't help but cast an appreciative look.

Zhuge Liang had a long talk with Liu Du, knowing that Liu Du's ambitions are not small, and he can tolerate people. However, he still wanted to assist Liu Bei more, and Zhuge Liang was also very entangled in his heart, one was the uncle of the Han Emperor, and the other was the brother of the Son of Heaven. They all said that they wanted to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, who should they choose?
