Chapter 4 The time has come

Early in the morning of the second day, the two left Handan City in Zhao County, and went all the way north, only eighty or ninety miles, and then came to the territory of Xiangguo County in Zhao County. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Along the way, the pedestrians halfway admired the two of them very much, and kept calling the names of the two immortal masters.

On the way, a sick person asked the two for medical treatment, but they were at a loss when asked about their salary, and they didn't know how to answer. On the contrary, Cheng Zhang on the side can calmly inquire about the cause of the doctor, and then hold a nine-section hemp cane to congratulate the patient, teach the patient to kowtow and think about it, prescribe a prescription, and make the patient take the medicine according to the instructions. He also commanded, "The faster he believes, the harder he is healed."

This made the payer frown, and after the patient left, he said: "Brother Xian, why don't you say that your medical skills have not yet been completed, and you can't cure the patient quickly, so ask him to find another good doctor for treatment." But if you want the patient to meditate at home, or believe in my Tao, isn't this mistaking and harming others? ”

Cheng Zhang said with a smile: "This is not my own reckless behavior, but according to the "Taiping Technique", 'Heaven is the way to act, the earth is the home, and all things are born together, nothing is hidden, and there is no selfishness.'" The mistakes of man are caused by transgressions against heaven, and if you want to cure a disease, you must bow down and bow down. The way to bow down is ...... Therefore, those who attain the four should be paid at the fourth hour. The heavens make the air, and the son leads to the heavens. The four seasons are born of benevolence, and the solution is more than heaven and earth. For this reason, the method of curing diseases is the first priority of the human heart, and the second priority is medicine. ”

Pay me as if I understand it, and I feel that what "Taiping Yaoshu" says seems to be right or wrong, in short, it is very wrong. Secretly, I only feel that the great sage and good teacher may not be as magical as the legend, and it cannot cure all kinds of doctors and eliminate diseases. It's more about coaxing people and telling them to change their illness and get rid of themselves. This, this......

Salary shook his head, no matter what, the great virtuous teacher is more benevolent and compassionate than the Han emperor of the Han family. Lu's Spring and Autumn Period: "The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the people of the world." Those who benefit from the same world will win the world; Those who take advantage of the world will lose the world. "Those who can benefit from the world can naturally win the Han family of those who are good at the benefits of the world.

The two came to Xiangguo County, but were told by Luo Fang, the deacon of Taiping Dao, that Tao Sheng, the head of the Taiping Dao Apologetics in Xiangguo County, had been summoned to Julu County by the great sage and good teacher a few days ago, which made the two feel very disappointed. I had to prepare to rest in Xiangguo County for one night and return to Handan the next day.

Late that night, the two talked until midnight, so they fell asleep in the same bed. When I was sleeping soundly, suddenly the door was slammed. Chengzhang was young and sleepy, but Fu Xin turned over and shouted, "Who is knocking on the door?" ”

Outside, there was a panicked cry from Luo Fang, the deacon of Xiangguo County: "It's the old man, open the door quickly, the old man has something important to say." ”

At this time, Cheng Zhangfang gradually woke up, Fu Xin opened the door, but saw the deacon Luo Fang, who was over fifty years old, dodge and jumped into the room, his movements were almost as good as that of a young man, he looked outside vigilantly, and immediately closed the door.

Cheng Zhang got up and asked, "Deacon Luo, what is the reason for the alarm?" ”

Luo Fang whispered in a panic: "Disaster, disaster, great disaster." ”

He asked quietly, "What is the trouble, please take your time." ”

Luo Fang said anxiously: "There is a henchman disciple who came to report late at night, on the seventh day of the first lunar month, when Ma/Yuanyi Dafang led thousands of people to cross the territory of SY County, Hanoi County, he was suddenly surrounded and killed by the army of the court, with more than a thousand dead and many captured. After that, there was news that Taiping Dao was going to rebel. ”

"Now the court has issued a document on sea fishing, ordering the county guards of Julu County to hunt down and kill the three brothers of the great sages and good teachers, and the officials from all over the country have strictly arrested the important leaders of the Taiping Dao. They were all sent to Luoyang City to be killed. The old man is the deacon of Taiping Road in Xiangguo County, and he will be arrested by the court, and when the two of you come, everyone knows it, and you can't be spared if you think about it. And the old man is now frightened and confused, and he has no way to do anything for a while, I wonder what the two sages can do to avoid this crisis? ”

Hearing this, he frowned, and he didn't want things to change, but the Taiping Road incident was about to happen in advance. Cheng Zhang is also silent. I was surprised that I didn't want to be a white-faced boy like Chengzhang, but when I encountered such a big event, I couldn't change my face, but I underestimated him on weekdays.

Fu Yan asked, "Deacon Luo, where did you get the news from this disciple?" ”

Luo Fang hurriedly walked around, and when he heard the words, he stopped and said: "I learned in Handan City this evening that the city gate was not closed, so I hurriedly came to report overnight. And the Taiping Taoists in Handan City are afraid that they will not be spared. ”

After Chengzhang heard about it, this was a little discolored, after all, there were a lot of his old stories in Handan City. Pay and asked: "In the middle of the night, the gate of Xiangguo County is closed, how did he come in?" ”

Luo Fang said angrily: "What does this have to do with this? You don't think about how to escape, but you ask what to do with these small things? ”

After paying the salary, he said: "Naturally, it has something to do with it, Handan City received a report from the court in the evening, and Xiangguo County must have sent a report at the same time as your disciple's front and back feet. However, there has been no change in Xiangguo County at present, and I think there is still something that can be alleviated, so I have to ask clearly what kind of dangerous situation we have reached now. ”

Only then did Luo Fang reluctantly say: "The old man's disciple has a cousin, who happens to be the head of the city gate guard, so he ......."

He asked again, "Where is that disciple now, and have you let him go?" ”

Luo Fang jumped to his feet and said: "Such a big thing, how dare the old man let him go." He is now waiting in the old house, and my son is with him in the room. ”

paid a high-five and said: "Deacon Luo, it is impossible for the court to say that I am a rebel in Taiping for no reason, maybe the great sage and good teacher are indeed the case." It's just that we are all important figures in the sect in various counties and counties, and the officials of the counties and counties in various places know very well, and the court cannot easily let it go. If we abscond easily, we may not be able to escape the sea fishing documents issued by the court. Well, we can only give it a shot now. ”

Luo Fang was stunned for a while, and muttered, "I really want to rebel......"

Cheng Zhang nodded heavily and said, "Deacon Luo, Brother Fu and I are just two people, and we want to escape from Yi Shier." It's just that you have a big family in Xiangguo County, I'm afraid it's not easy to escape, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me to ask for advice. So for the sake of your family and yourself, it's better to fight or give it a go. ”

Luo Fang's mouth was full of bitterness, nodded and said: "Indeed, my Luo clan has more than a dozen mouthfuls, where can I escape easily." Well, I don't know if the two sages have a plan. ”

He said, "First of all, quickly let your disciple go to the city gate to inquire if there is a news from Handan." Yes, it must be the county order of Xiangguo County, and it has not been watched in time. Just in case, we need to immediately start an incident and capture the county seat of Xiangguo. No, it was a momentary mistake on the side of Handan City, and the flying horse was not sent to report in time. Then we can immediately send out the robbers to kill them halfway. Secondly, I don't know if the Great Sage and Good Master already know about this, so I need to send someone to Julu to tell the Great Sage and Good Master as soon as possible. Please ask the great sage and good teacher to start the incident immediately, and find the Tao leader, and come back to preside over the affairs of Xiangguo County. ”

Luo Fang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go down and arrange for the disciples to go." ”

He asked, "How many of my congregants are there in that city?" How many weapons are there? How many officers and soldiers were there defending the city? Where are they stationed? What is the temperament of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant of Xiangguo County? Carelessness or caution? ”

Luo Fang pondered for a moment and said: "There are more than 7,000 households and more than 40,000 people in Xiangguo County, and there are 4,000 followers in my sect, but most of them are scattered in the township, and there are 1,600 households in the city, and there are less than 600 sect members. Most of the weapons are in charge of the pottery chieftain, and the decay does not know the details. I think that swords, bows, swords, and spears can be used by three or four hundred people. Xiangguo County is not a border county, and there are not many guards, only about 100 people. But in times of emergency, coupled with the thieves and volunteers of each township and pavilion, an army of 500 can be gathered. The county magistrate and the county lieutenant have little dealings with us, and they are the new officials of other counties, but they do not know their temperament. ”

Fu Xin smiled dumbly after hearing this, and said: "Xiangguo County has such strength, as long as you are a brave person, you can easily take it, but you are so frightened that I really don't know what to say about you." ”

Luo Fang's face was swollen and red, and he said unhappily: "Rebellion is a matter of clan punishment, who can easily decide." Although Xiangguo is mainly old, the old man is only in charge of missionary matters, regardless of other things. Moreover, Dr. Zhang was close to Handan, and he never told me, so it is normal for people to panic when they first hear it. Although it is simple to take the county seat of Xiangguo, the Tao leader is not there, and the old decay can also be taken down, but what about after taking it down? If Handan and several neighboring counties send troops to attack, the sect members have not learned the military formation, do not know how to fight, and the old people do not know the art of conquest, this will be powerless. ”

Fu Xin said with a smile: "I am not talented, although I am young, I have also read a few military books, and I know a little about the art of conquest." Originally, the matter of Xiangguo County was within the responsibility of Deacon Luo and Leader Tao, and it had nothing to do with Zaixia. But he was trapped in Xiangguo County with Brother Cheng Xian, so he had to think about it for himself. If Deacon Luo can trust Fu, Fu can block the soldiers from Handan and neighboring counties for Deacon Luo. ”

Luo Fang couldn't help but hesitate for a while, tonight he was just in a panic, so he came to ask this person who had just met the sect, but if he entrusted all the life and death matters in the Xiangguo County Sect to two young people around the age of twenty, this would be a little hesitant. After all, this is a matter of rebellion, and if it fails, it will be a disaster for the clan.

Luo Fang thought carefully about the other important members of the sect in Xiangguo County, and found that no one could take on this important task. I have the heart to open my mouth to entrust the heavy responsibility, but after thinking about it, Julu is only more than 100 miles away from Zhao County, and if you hurry up, it won't take a day.

As long as he takes Xiangguo County tonight and sticks to it for a day, he will be able to return tomorrow night, so why entrust this matter to two people who don't know the details.
