Chapter 24, Big Eaters (3)
"General Dang, if you are asked to shoot again, how many times will you have to shoot before you can shoot another arrow like that?" Xuan Yi frowned and asked again.
"How many shots? Hehe, shoot a thousand times, ten thousand times and there may not be another arrow like this. Dang Shouyi shook his head and said, "It's just a coincidence." ”
"Oh." Xuan Yi nodded. He knew that this arrow was not exactly a coincidence, as Dang Shouyi thought. There must be an element of the gods of the heavenly court behind this arrow. Since it has become more and more difficult for the gods to intervene directly in the human world, the use of "coincidence" has become a common method used by those gods to intervene in the human world. Just like when it was outside the Guan, the Jokhang Imperial Court mobilized an army of 100,000 to attack the Heavenly Mandate Khan, who had just started his army. At that time, the power of the Jokhang Dynasty far exceeded that of Daikin, but the commander of the Jokhang Dynasty made such a wrong and unreasonable decision as dividing and attacking together. Then in the battle on the Western Road, the general soldier Du Bai was killed by an arrow on the battlefield, so that the Western Front was completely defeated. My commander-in-chief has the best iron armor on his body, but General Du Bai's helmet is a little problematic. At that time, a piece of armor on his helmet was broken, but he had not had time to replace it. As a result, in the darkness of the night, the arrow was shot right through the missing piece of armor......
If it was in the previous life, Xuan Yi would definitely be overjoyed in the face of this intervention from Heavenly Court, because this intervention seemed to indicate that "the destiny of heaven has returned". But today's Xuan Yi, on the premise of already knowing the attitude of Heavenly Court, only felt chills all over his body.
"Heaven is watching you! Everything around you, even your comrades-in-arms, is the eyes of the Heavenly Court. This is what Huang Tian said to Xuan Yi. In such an environment, as long as Xuan Yi's actions are not paid attention to, he will die without a place to be buried. At least until the luck of Huang Zide's righteous army turned into a Jiaojiao, it was like this.
"Fortunately, at least for now, Heavenly Court's goal should still be the same as ours." Xuan Yi can only think like this at the moment. It's just that Heavenly Court's seemingly help will only make the rebel army rise too fast, and its luck looks very high, but in fact, the foundation is not strong, and there is not much real strength. By the time they suddenly changed their faces, it would be difficult for the rebels to maintain such vain luck, let alone confront the enemy.
"Therefore, what I will try to do in the future is to guide the rebel army as much as possible and pay attention to a solid foundation. However, doing so will definitely attract their attention, and then will they simply create an accident and wipe out their own unstable factor? Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Xuan Yi's body.
"I'll give you a heads-up." Huang Tian's voice suddenly came out again. However, Xuan Yi was used to his sudden opening.
"Heavenly Court is not equal to Heavenly Dao, and even, what Heavenly Court is doing now is actually contrary to Heavenly Dao. Although the Heavenly Dao is ignorant, but, as Wang Mang told me, what Newton's third law', well, that is, the law of action and reaction, they try to interfere with the Heavenly Dao, how can the Heavenly Dao not have a reaction force against them? So as long as you arrange it cleverly, they will feel that your behavior is a rebound from the Heavenly Dao, and they will naturally not dare to move you easily. ”
"Then how can I make them think that my actions are a backlash from the Heavenly Dao?" Xuan Yi asked again in his heart.
"The bounce has to bounce back to them." Huang Tiandao, "To put it simply, when the court begins to pay attention to you and has doubts about you, it will definitely arrange ghosts and gods to test you." If they are just a general observer, then it doesn't matter, if they have some actions that need to harm you, find an opportunity to arrange a coincidence, so that the ghosts and gods who come to test you will suffer some losses, or even fall. This will most likely make them make such associations. ”
"But, but God is selfless. Theoretically, it doesn't dictate what I do, nor does it shelter me. So even if I happened to encounter a backlash in the first temptation, I didn't necessarily meet it the second time. "It's about his own safety, so Xuanyi is still very cautious.
"You're right, but the bounce always bounces where he's trying to go. Moreover, the longer and better the guy who lives, the more afraid of death...... Hehe......" Huang Tian's tone carried an obvious resentment.
Xuan Yi didn't ask anymore, Heavenly Court's malice was clear, but Huang Tian's statement was not necessarily credible. If there is a chance for Heavenly Court to suffer a big setback, as long as this setback is greater than Huang Tian's investment in Xuan Yi, then Huang Tian may be willing to let Xuan Yi die. However, this is all in the future, and you can think about it slowly and prepare slowly.
"Let's go back first. It will take a day or two for the news of our visit to Liujiawan to reach the other Zhuangzi. After a day or two, we'll visit the other Zhuangzi. "Xuanyi is righteous to the party.
When the group returned to the cottage, Xuan Yi and Dang Shouyi went to Huang Zide to hand over the order, and talked to Huang Zide about Dang Shouyi's magical arrow. Huang Zide and Liu Jiexuan are especially happy, Liu Jiexuan contacted the previous fog, and even decided that this is God's blessing, indicating that Huang Zide is destined to return, although he is in a disadvantageous situation at the moment, he will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future.
This statement greatly boosted the morale of the entire cottage. Even Xuan Yi, who was born as a Taoist priest and was recognized by everyone as an immortal of the Jing Dao Technique, was also taken as evidence that Huang Zide was the true dragon son of heaven who returned to the Mandate of Heaven - otherwise, how could such a living immortal come to Huang Zide's army at this most difficult time?
In the evening, after eating, there was not much entertainment in the cottage, so at this time, as usual, everyone gathered around Xuan Yi and listened to him talk about ancient things.
This night, Xuan Yi told everyone the story of the struggle between Chu and Han. As he spoke, he talked about the Marquis Zhang Liang:
"Speaking of which, Liuhou is actually one of the ancestors of our Daomen." Xuan Yi said, "Zhang Tianshi, who later founded the Daomen, is the eighth grandson of Liuhou. The Daomen started from Zhang Tianshi, but the cultivation method of the Daomen was much earlier, and it was already in the Spring and Autumn of that year, when Taishang Laojun came out of the Valley. In fact, the Liuhou who 'strategizes and wins thousands of miles away' is also a cultivator. ”
When Shang Xiuying heard this, she asked, "So, this Liuhou is also an immortal?" ”
Xuan Yi nodded and said: "Exactly, in fact, leaving the Marquis to assist Han Gaozu is a method to achieve immortal karma." When Liuhou passed by a bridge, he met an old man...... This is the story of 'three shoes on the wall'. That old man is the immortal Huang Shigong, and what he taught to Liuhou is the "Yellow Emperor Yin Fu Sutra" of Daomen. Later, he stayed to assist Han Gaozu, achieved the emperor's industry, and also achieved the immortal industry, and traveled from the ancient gods and pine nuts. And the legacy is shaded, as for the eighth and there is Zhang Tianshi Kuangding Daomen, the fortune is endless, which is really enviable. ”
Shang Xiuying smiled when she heard this: "Daoist Xuan Yi is here with us now, but he also wants to follow the example of Liuhou?" ”
Xuan Yi listened, and said: "Naturally, it is the same, otherwise the poor Dao doesn't pick poria in the deep mountains and recite the Yellow Garden, but what are you doing here?" The poor path is not hidden from you, and those who cultivate the way are so difficult to attain enlightenment. You see, the ancient Buddhas mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures always have to practice for thousands of eons to become Buddhas. In fact, the same is true of my Daomen, how difficult it is to become a Taoist by relying on oneself alone! Later, when it came to the time of the Yellow Emperor, there was a Taoist Guangchengzi, who assisted the Yellow Emperor, Kuang Zheng the world, and became enlightened with great merit. Since then, among the Daomen, there have been more ways to achieve enlightenment in the Dragon Garden. If there is a great evil today, assisting the new saint and pacifying the world is the highest merit in the world. If the poor Dao can be like the ancestors of the immortals, assisting the king to calm the world, he can also use this to achieve the immortal Dao. ”
When Liu Jiexuan heard this, he stared at Xuan Yi with blazing eyes and said, "I see." In this way, our king is the real true dragon emperor? ”
Xuan Yi listened, but stood up and bowed to Huang Zide and said, "The king is, but not all now. At least now, there is no real true dragon emperor in the world. Otherwise, this method of 'supporting the dragon court' would not be called 'fighting for the dragon'. Great kings, generals. Generally speaking, if a dynasty loses virtue and thus loses its heavenly dependents, the dragon qi will be scattered in all directions. People from all over the world are born with dragon energy, and they are extraordinary. When these people grow up, they are all heroes and heroes, and they are destined by heaven to destroy the old dynasty. For example, during the Qin and Han dynasties, Han Gaozu, the overlord of Chu, and even the princes of all walks of life in the world were all heroes born with dragon spirit. It's just that among these heroes, who is the true son of heaven needs to fight for himself. The one who wins the battle is the real son of destiny. For example, today, it is also a group of heroes, and the king is also one of the heroes who fight for the dragon. The reason why Poor Dao defected to the king was because the king was more benevolent and ambitious than others, and had a better chance of becoming a true son. Now it seems that the will of heaven is also more inclined to the king. But the king must also be vigilant, knowing that the destiny of heaven is impermanent, and those who do not think themselves are destined for heaven have no scruples. ”
Huang Zide listened, hurriedly stood up, helped Xuan Yi with both hands and said: "The good words of the Taoist are remembered by Huang. We must guard against arrogance and rashness, and live up to the expectations of the Taoist chief and his brothers. ”
When Xuan Yi heard this, he said again: "There is still a word in the poor way, I don't know if I should say it." ”
Huang Zide hurriedly said, "Daoist, please speak." ”
Xuan Yi said: "Great King, look at Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, Julu fought a battle, defeated the Qin army of 400,000 with 50,000 Chu troops; In the battle of Pengcheng, with 30,000 people, he broke the Han army of 500,000, what a brave and good fight! And then in the end, he was still defeated, but he was defeated and the country was destroyed. In contrast, Han Gaozu experienced such a great defeat as Pengcheng, but was able to seize the world in the end, the king and the generals know why? ”
When Huang Zide heard this question, he immediately remembered the Tongguan fiasco he had just experienced. He thought about it, but he didn't rush to speak, but set his eyes on Liu Jiexuan.
As soon as Liu Jiexuan saw Huang Zide's eyes, he knew that Huang Zide had some ideas, but he didn't know whether it was right or wrong, and he was afraid that saying it wrong would damage his image, so he hoped that he would speak first and explore Xuanyi's meaning. Then he said: "Dao Chief, I think it's because God prefers Liu Bang, so Liu Bang has God's blessing, even if he loses, he can get up." I don't know if I'm right. ”
