Chapter 2: The Three Emperors' Inner Texts: Ziwei's Secret Biography (2)
Qi Kun was personally taught by Emperor Zhenwu and Xingjun in Fulong Temple, and he already knew the mystery of the "Three Emperors Sutra" and Ziwei tokens, and he also learned the mantra of Xuanwu Sword to kill demons and eliminate demons, so he was full of ambition.
Farewell to the two immortals and come down the mountain, it is already dawn.
Qi Kun pondered that if he wanted to accomplish this great cause, he must gather the strength of the saints and heroes in the world to return the people of the world to harmony and harmony. Fortunately, in the past, I was already fond of classical literature and history, geography, art, religion, etc., and through the various classics and historical biographies I had read, I still had a deep impression of the major events that occurred in various eras and continents. Although most of the historical books are arranged and revised by the rulers of various dynasties, it is inevitable that there will be biases and even inaccuracies, but for the general direction in the future, these extensive discussions can also make the result twice as effective with half the effort.
Walking to the official road, I saw more and more displaced people who had fled from the north one after another, and most of them were old people, women and children, all of them in ragged clothes, yellow muscles and thin muscles.
Qi Kun couldn't help but shiver in the morning breeze, and his heart felt even more desolate. Secret road: The Yellow River flood has not been treated, the people are homeless and displaced, and the current top priority is to first control the Yellow River flood, and then contact the heroes in various places to complete the great cause of turning things around.
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly saw a team of people and horses driving more than ten carts approaching from a distance.
When I approached, I found that in front of the first cart, it was the soup kitchen director yesterday who beckoned people to move forward, and the cart was loaded with large barrels and utensils for soup kitchens and tea stalls.
Qi Kun stepped forward and bowed to the head of the soup kitchen:
"Morning, brother Tai met again, is this a rush to go everywhere to give porridge?"
At a glance, the Lord of the Thunder Banner turned out to be the son of yesterday, but today he was carrying a long sword, and he was even more energetic. He returned the salute:
"Childe, we were ordered by the lord of the castle to rush to various places every day to give porridge, rain or shine for more than a month. Childe, where are you going? ”
"Lord Cao Bao and Brother Tai work tirelessly for the people all day long, which is admirable! I'm also ready to do what I can for the people affected by the disaster. Qi Kun replied.
The Thunder Banner Lord smiled and nodded:
"Childe is really benevolent and righteous, no wonder yesterday the holy aunt said that Childe is an extraordinary person. I am Lei Ming, the owner of the Oriental Green Dragon Banner under the command of the Lord of Cao Bao, seeing that the son is carrying a sword, or he is also a person in the rivers and lakes, what is the name of the son? ”
"The Lord of the Thunder Banner praised falsely, my name is Qi Kun, this time I went to Fulong Mountain to pray for the blessings of Zhenwu for the people who have suffered from disasters in the world."
Qi Kun paused for a moment and then asked:
"Dare to ask the Thunder Banner Master, who is the Holy Aunt you just mentioned?"
Lei Ming looked surprised and asked rhetorically:
"Qi Kun Gongzi really doesn't know who the holy aunt is? Recently, the Holy Maiden of Ziwei defeated the elders of the Demon Sect, scared off the monks, rescued more than 100 captive women from good families, and returned the peace of the people. Childe, why haven't you heard of it? ”
Hearing this, Qi Kun chuckled in his heart, thinking about what might have happened before he came to this world, and this Ziwei Holy Maiden, who had crossed through the next life and was ordered by Ziwei Messenger, would it have anything to do with it?
After pondering for a while, he said:
"When I participated in the rescue and disaster relief by the Yellow River, I suffered a head injury and was in a coma for many days, and I just woke up shortly after recovery, so I really don't know. Seeing that your convoy is rushing to all parts of the soup soup can not be delayed, I just happened to be on the way, so I will go forward with you, and ask the flag owner on the way, tell me about the crape myrtle saint Doufan monk. ”
Lei Ming sighed:
"I see, no wonder Qi Kun Gongzi doesn't know the name of the Holy Aunt. The Holy Aunt once explained to us and others, saying that you are kind-hearted, let us treat it well, it seems that the son and the Holy Aunt are really destined! Well, I'll tell you what I know along the way. ”
"This is a long story, and we have to start with the life of the Holy Aunt. I remember that eighteen years ago, I went to Luoyang with the lord of the castle to deal with the affairs of the gang. On that day, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I suddenly heard that the whole family of the righteous brother Yue Yuanwai of the castle owner was slaughtered by the Yuan Dazong Zhengfu Zalu Huchi, and the castle owner together with Shaolin and Wudang more than ten masters rushed to help, but we still went too late, and Yue Yuanwai's family of more than 60 people and dozens of families died tragically in a pool of blood. Before his death, the dying Yue Yuanwai entrusted the lord of Cao Bao to raise his only daughter Yue Linjiao, who was hidden under the horse pen and straw pile and was not yet one year old. The owner of the castle tearfully agreed, and after the burial of Yue's family and his family, he would bring the orphan daughter of the Yue family back to Caojiabao in Baizhang Mountain to raise her. ”
Lei Ming recalled that sad past, couldn't help but wet his eyes with tears, paused for a while, and continued:
In order to avoid people's eyes, the castle owner simply let the little girl change her surname to Cao, claiming that the lord of Caobao was happy to have a daughter, and invited the leading figures of ten miles and eight towns to celebrate with wine. The castle lord and his wife regard Lin Jiao's love as their own, listen to the castle owner, Lin Jiao has been Zi Weixing to the earth, the little girl has been smart and lovely since she was a child, and has a unique talent that she will never forget, the castle owner has invited more than a dozen of today's celebrities and scholars, to teach carefully. Now Lin Jiao is not only talented and beautiful, but also has practiced peerless martial arts, and has been taught by the bishop of Bao since she was a child, and has also developed a good heart and a bodhisattva heart, and has done a lot of good things for the people..."
One spoke energetically, the other listened fascinated, and unconsciously arrived at the place of soup kitchen.
Lei Ming said hello to Qi Kun, and was busy arranging for everyone to support the guys and prepare for the soup kitchen.
Qi Kun saw that the thunder was not too busy for a while, so he said with a smile:
"Thank you, Lord Thunder Banner, you are busy here, I won't bother, I'll ask Lord Thunder Banner for advice another day, and I'll leave first."
"It's easy to say, pray for Gongzi Kun to go slowly, and when you are free, please go to the Qinglong Banner of Caojiabao in Baizhang Mountain." Thunder responded.
Bidding farewell to Lei Ming and them, Qi Kun continued north, preparing to go to Jialu first to discuss, after all, he was the core figure in the governance of the Yellow River. However, the greed and ruthlessness of the ruling elites, the ignorance and indifference to the river control and disaster relief, and more importantly, the lack of financial and manpower to complete this huge project is simply not possible.
Qi Kun was so worried that he couldn't help but slow down.
Behind him, there was a sudden sound of rolling wheels and neighing horses, which woke up Qi Kun, who was walking slowly and in deep thought, and hurriedly turned sideways to get out of the way of the speeding carriage.
When it was too late, the two galloping white horses were suddenly grabbed by the coachman, and they jumped up with their heads high and their front hooves in shock, and they neighed, and the carriage with the purple shed was unbalanced due to the sudden stop, and the left wheel had already left the ground, and the whole body slid quickly to the right front along the inertia, and it seemed that it was about to hit the Qi Kun who could not avoid it on the side of the road.
Suddenly, a masked woman jumped out of the car, wearing a purple cloak, floating to Qi Kun's side like a dragonfly in water, while his left foot touched the ground, he stretched out her right hand and grabbed Qi Kun's belt, bent her arm lightly, flew up again, and gently fell to the grass beside the road, and the carriage slid out more than ten meters before gradually stopping.
Look at Qi Kun sitting in the grass again, staring at the girl in purple like a delusion, and has not yet come to her senses.
The girl saw that he was all right, and turned to go away.
Qi Kun woke up like a dream, hurriedly stood up and thanked him:
"Pray for Kun's gratitude to the heroine for saving her life! Please ask the name of the chivalrous woman, and she will repay it in the future. ”
The girl in purple stopped and stroked her veil, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and smiled politely:
"You don't have to be polite, it was this girl's carriage that almost hit you, it should be reasonable to save you, please don't say anything like repaying for help, I really can't afford it."
"Oh, Qi Kun remembered. Please also tell the chivalrous woman's name, I need to know who the benefactor is! ”
Qi Kun said as he looked at the masked woman carefully.
The girl in purple was embarrassed by Qi Kun's intent, a feeling that she had never felt before, she took a deep breath and said in a low voice:
"My name is Cao Linjiao, son, please stop screaming at a chivalrous girl."
With that, he turned around and walked briskly back to the carriage, and ordered the horses to be re-harnessed and ready to leave.
When Qi Kun heard that it was Cao Linjiao, it was the Ziwei Holy Maiden that the Thunder Banner Lord said earlier, isn't it a coincidence? hurriedly hurried a few steps to catch up, and arched his hand in front of the carriage:
"Qi Kun has seen the Holy Maiden of Ziwei, and today I am fortunate to be rescued by the Holy Aunt, please accept the worship of Qi Kun."
The girl in purple somehow felt more and more embarrassed today, bowed her head and muttered for a moment, before she said softly:
"Please don't be polite, we still have important things to do, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so we will leave. If there is a fate, he will see you again one day. ”
Then he ordered his entourage to drive away.
Qi Kun watched the carriage gradually disappear at the end of the road, and stood for a long time before coming back to his senses, everything that has happened these days, too many coincidences, and his heart can't help but be full of doubts. There seems to be a voice telling me that I should go to Caojiabao first, yes, first go to visit the benevolent and mysterious Caobao master.
With his mind already decided, Qi Kun turned around and strode away in the direction of Baizhang Mountain.
Walking to the Han River, several transportation wharves are faintly visible in the distance, and the flow of people has gradually increased.
The mountain here is abrupt and towering, the ancient cypress towers to the sky, there are several beaches along the river embankment downward, forming a huge "S" shape, the north and south foothills, showing the outer bow shape, if you hug it, the whole Sichuan is like a huge Taiji map. At the junction of the beach river, there are several big stones, which are not square and not round, like pillars such as bamboo shoots, and are solid and void.
There is one built on the bank of the Han River, and it is called "painting hexagram platform". There are two stone turtles in front of the stage, each with a bluestone stele, a book "open things into fog", and a book "innate essence". There is a bluestone abacus on the side, and there are abacus scattered on it, which looks a bit like a river map and a Luo book.
On the other side, there is an old Taoist who is sitting in a hexagram stall, and he is looking at the world with his eyes.
Qi Kun slowly stepped forward to take a closer look, only to see the words "Fuxi Shen Hexagram" written on the hexagram stall, this old Taoist silver-haired and silver-bearded person wearing gossip clothes, a good fairy wind bones.
Seeing Qi Kun walking slowly with a long sword on his back, Lao Dao raised his hand to caress the dust, and greeted with a smile: "Gongzi Qi Yu Xuan is extraordinary, how about allowing Lao Dao to draw a hexagram for you?" ”
