Chapter 21 The Tao comes to the world, and its ghosts are not gods
…
The three big men swam to the bank of the Xunyang River in great embarrassment, and then lay on the shore and gasped for breath!
After a while, a man with a grown figure hung his head and said: "Tens of thousands of dollars of money and goods are all over, my brother has worked hard in vain in the past few years!" ”
A man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, red face, and iron beard didn't care and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, tens of thousands of floating fortunes are just a matter of tens of thousands, I, Li Jun, have to lose, and Brother Tong Meng is going to say such frustrating words!" ”
Another man who grew up was Tong Wei, and said: "Brother, my hometown is bound to be taken by the official army, where should we go in the future?" ”
Tong Meng interjected: "Some time ago, I got acquainted with a person, that person's surname is Li Mingli, and the rivers and lakes call him a judge to urge his life, and open a black shop on Jieyang Ridge for a living, let's go to him, he has always admired his brother, and with his brother's righteousness, he will definitely be able to take him for his own use." ”
Tong Wei said: "It's not proper! That Li Li is doing a lot of selling human flesh, and if we are in the company of him, we will definitely be laughed at by our friends in the rivers and lakes! ”
Tong Meng retorted: "Now that we don't even have a place to stay, why do we care about doing so much? ”
Tong Wei insisted: "It's okay for you and me to have a dirty reputation, but my brother is a person who wants to do great things, how can he ruin his innocence?" ”
Tong Meng retorted again: "Those who achieve great things are not informal!" ”
Tong Wei wanted to insist any longer, Li Junyi stretched out his hand to stop Tong Wei, and said: "Brother Tong Meng's words are good, those who become big things are not informal, if we are really cornered, it doesn't hurt to mess with that Li Liwei......"
Tong Wei persuaded: "Brother ......"
Li Jun stretched out his hand again to stop Tong Wei again, and then said, "Brother Tong Wei, please listen to me finish speaking!" Li Jun continued: "However, we are not without a way out now. ”
While saying this, Li Jun took out a letter from his arms that had been soaked in the river water, and said: "A few days ago, Brother Li Yan of Shuibo Liangshan asked someone to bring a letter to me, inviting me to go to Liangshan to work together for Tianxingdao...... To be honest, I have been hesitant to go or not before, after all, going to other people's homes is not always happy in my own territory, and now we are afraid that we have to go. ”
Tong Meng immediately stood up and said, "I heard that Liangshanbo is not prosperous now, there are four or five thousand people in several battalions!" ”
Tong Wei also stood up and said: "The key is that the place is good, there are vast and sweeping everywhere, and the reed water port, if you don't have a large team of officers and soldiers, boats and boats, you can't capture Naliang Shanbo at all." ”
Tong Meng pouted and said: "Now that lawsuit moves everywhere, it will harm the people; But when he came down to the countryside, he first ate all the pigs, sheep, chickens, and geese raised by the good people, and then he had to be pestered and sent away. If the boss and officials sent them to arrest a large number of strongmen, and they were all scared of urine and, how could they dare to approach the 800 miles of water? ”
Tong Wei also said indignantly: "The lawsuit is not very clear, it is confused, it is okay to commit a major crime, let's sell some salt and make some hard-earned money, but we bite like a dog!" ”
Hearing that the two brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng were willing to throw themselves into the water to park Liangshan, Li Jun also stood up and said, "Okay! Since the two brothers don't object, then let's go to Liangshan to vote for Brother Li Yan! ”
Tong Meng hesitated a little and said, "Just leave empty-handed?" Will the people of Liangshanbo underestimate me? ”
Tong Wei smiled bitterly: "We have nothing in our bodies, so what can we do if we don't leave empty-handed?" ”
Li Jun thought for a while and said, "Looking at Brother Li Yan's behavior, I seem to have great ambitions, how can I value such mundane things as gold and silver?" ”
Tong Wei asked, "Then what will Brother Li Yan value?" ”
Li Jun said categorically: "Talent! It must be talent! ”
Tong Wei was stunned and said, "Talent? ”
Li Jun said: "Not bad! If we can bring one or two good talents to Liangshanbo together, we will definitely let Brother Li Yan look down on me and wait! ”
Tong Wei said: "But where can we go to Liangshanbo to get good?" ”
Tong Meng said: "Why don't we take Li Li with you?" ”
Li Jun said: "No! The two brothers may not know that not long ago, Brother Li Yan passed by the cross slope and slaughtered Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang, the vegetable gardener, and then burned their black shop. ”
Hearing Li Jun say this, Tong Meng, who had not yet had a deep relationship with Li Li, immediately stopped mentioning this stubble, but said, "Then where are we going to get good talents?" ”
Li Jun thought for a while and said: "I heard that Shi Bao, a native of Fuzhou, has the courage of ten thousand men and the ability to command thousands of troops and horses, and he is disgusted with the court because of the king's faintness and thieves. ”
Tong Meng was a little reluctant to say: "To detour Fuzhou, you have to walk hundreds of miles......
Li Jun said: "Brother quit his hard work, this matter is related to our future, we must not be careful!" ”
Tong Wei reprimanded Tong Meng and said: "Lazy goods, how dare you spoil my brother!" ”
Tong Meng immediately corrected his attitude and said: "If you go to Fuzhou, you will go to Fuzhou!" ”
……
Purple Void View.
"Li Jushi, the old way has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Looking at Luo Zhenren, who seemed to be a master outside the world, Li Yan hesitated for a moment, then sat down on the futon opposite Luo Zhenren, and then asked, "Immortal Master knows that I am coming?" ”
Luo Zhenren smiled: "Naturally." ”
Li Yan asked a little nervously, "Then...... Where am I from? ”
Luo Zhenren shook his head and said, "From where you came." ”
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Then if I ask the Immortal Chief where I want to go, does the Immortal Chief answer me where to go?" ”
"Uh......"
Luo Zhenren really didn't know how to answer Li Yan's abrupt and rude words for a while!
Li Yan didn't dwell on this topic, but said again: "I heard that the immortal chief knew five hundred years before and five hundred years later, is this true?" ”
Luo Zhenren secretly adjusted his Immortal Wind Dao Bone, and then smiled again: "Naturally." ”
Li Yan said leisurely: "Then what happened next, the Immortal Chief must know, right?" ”
Luo Zhenren's head reaction was actually not slow, but his pampered body couldn't keep up with his agile mind, and as a result, he was slapped by Li Yan for a long time!
"Smack!"
Li Yan withdrew his hand, then looked at his hand, felt it again, and then looked at Luo Zhenren who was covering his face and was embarrassed, and said, "In this way, the fact that the immortal chief will call for wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers is also fake?" ”
Luo Zhenren forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "Coming to the world with the Tao, its ghosts are not gods!" ”
Li Yan didn't understand the Tao Te Ching, but he also heard it, Luo Zhenren should have denied the existence of ghosts and gods in person.
If there are no ghosts and gods, then naturally there is no Taoism, so what is the use of cultivating? and cannot live forever.
Li Yan stood up with a disappointed and somewhat relieved expression, and then turned around and walked towards the outside of Songhe Xuan.
Just as Li Yan was about to walk out of Songhexuan, Luo Zhenren's voice suddenly came from behind Li Yan: "Wait! ”
