Volume 1 The First Coming to the End of the Han Dynasty Chapter 1 The Eastern Han Dynasty Yanxi, the Strange Infant Descends
"Crackle! Rumble! ”
At this time, Liu Zhiyanxi, Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, saw that the thunder and lightning roared between the mountains and forests of Shennongjia, and the purple gas lingered, as if the gods descended to earth.
"Huh?" An old man was collecting medicine in the mountains, and he was surprised to see such a scene. The old Taoist priest pinched his fingers and frowned deeply.
"No, no!" Lao Dao didn't seem to be afraid of the purple thunder and lightning flashing in the sky, and he was still addicted to his own deduction and said: "Zi Weixing is still weak and has not changed, but the situation of the Three Kingdoms that was estimated a few days ago has changed greatly, how can it be impossible for Lao Dao to see the changes in the future?" It's not good, it's not good! ”
After a while, the thunder and lightning that kept roaring in the sky disappeared. At the same time, many newborns were born in various parts of the Eastern Han Dynasty. And the old man who collected medicine on Shennongjia heard the cry of a baby screaming in the mountains. The old Taoist priest followed the baby's cry and searched for it.
"Xiang Ao?!" The old Taoist priest picked up the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, and said secretly while turning over the unknown jade pendant on the baby's chest. Looking at the strange spear placed next to the baby, the old Taoist priest's expression was heavy.
"Abandoned babies? Or is it a strange baby from the sky? "The old Taoist priest doesn't know what to do." That's it, God has the virtue of a good life, since the old way has the fate to see, then adopt yes! The old Taoist priest seemed to accept his fate, holding the baby, ready to step forward and pick up the strange spear on the ground and go down the mountain.
Well?! It's so heavy! The old Taoist priest was even more frightened, with the power of the old Tao, not to mention that Xiang Yu, who was said to be in the previous dynasty, had the power to lift one or two hundred catties with one hand, and it was not too laborious to lift one or two hundred catties at will, and he never thought that this gun would let the old Taoist use all his strength with one hand before taking it. The spear was bizarre, but it didn't look too conspicuous. The body of the gun is dark color, and the body of the gun has nine dark gold lines, which flow slowly from the handle to the head of the gun, like a living thing. If you look closely, it looks like nine golden dragons, guarding the tip of the spear.
The old Taoist priest was amazed, and even with his experience, he couldn't see how this gun was made. The old Taoist priest who had no result of thinking about it laboriously carried a spear and walked down the mountain with a baby named Xiang Ao in his arms.
Time flies, and more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.
Xiang Ao was awakened by the scene in his dream again, and since Xiang Ao turned ten years old, he was often plagued by nightmares. It's not that Xiang Ao is afraid, but that Xiang Ao's dream is so realistic that Xiang Ao can hardly tell whether the dream is real or the reality is real.
Who the hell am I? Xiang Ao grabbed his loose hair and pulled the cart, thinking bitterly. The moment Xiang Ao lives is the Eastern Han Dynasty, but not only why, in Xiang Ao's strange dream, he is called the ancient Han at this time.
Xiang Ao didn't tell the old Taoist priest every time he dreamed, after all, the dream was too terrifying, Xiang Ao actually fought with the body of an emperor, leading soldiers and creatures with different clothes and even terrifying appearances, no one believed it. After waking up, Xiang Ao didn't feel sleepy, so he picked up the long gun next to the bed and came outside the house to practice "Five Fowl Play" and Xiang Ao's naturally known and unknown marksmanship, exercise martial arts, and work hard.
Two hours passed quickly, the sun had risen, and when Xiang Ao was about to finish his cultivation, the old Taoist priest also got up to wash up and walked out of the door.
"Ao'er!"
"Master!" Xiang Ao put down the spear in his hand, wiped his sweat and came to the old Taoist. Xiang Ao is already five out of ten years old, and at this time Xiang Ao is nearly eight feet long, with a slender body, thick eyebrows and big eyes, good facial features, and handsome. The long hair tied up on the top of his head moved with the wind, and with Xiang Ao at this time, he was dressed in a martial arts training outfit, and he was more handsome than the so-called children of the family.
It is also strange to say, the boy is not only excellent in understanding, but also brave in martial arts. The spear that the old Taoist priest had to lift with all his strength danced like a burning stick in the hands of a young man now, and it was majestic.
"Can the knowledge taught by Pang Degong and Decao Gong be reviewed?"
"Master, the apprentice has memorized it like a stream!"
"That's it!" The old Taoist priest is not worried that Xiang Ao will not use his skills, but as a master, it has become a habit to ask his disciples about their progress every day, whether it is learning or martial arts.
"Ao Er, do you remember that the teacher took the apprentice to Luoyang to find the teacher for the apprentice?"
"Master, but you mean Teacher Cai Yong?"
"Yes!" The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "Everyone Cai is loyal to the Han family and upright. A few days ago, I heard that the Cai family had offended the court and was treacherous, and they would be exiled to a remote place in Shuofang in the near future. ”
"The teacher plans to let Ao'er go to escort, let Ao'er do some filial piety, and protect the safety of everyone Cai!"
When Xiang Ao heard this, he got up and hugged his fists and said: "Master, don't worry, everyone Cai is an apprentice teacher, and it is the apprentice's duty to escort the apprentice." ”
When the old Taoist priest heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and continued: "There is nothing else that can teach the apprentice as a teacher, and after this escort, the apprentice will travel the world on his own and increase his knowledge!" ”
"Master! In vain..."
"Ao Er doesn't have to think about it, Taoism is fate, and it is as you like. Besides, as a teacher, I haven't visited friends around the world for many years, so it's time to go and have a look! ”
When Xiang Ao heard this, he had to say yes and should accept it. Even if he was reluctant, Xiang Ao wanted to go out and take a look by himself.
"The "Five Birds Play" given to teachers and old friends is extremely effective for physical fitness, and the apprentices must not waste it in the future. As for the apprentice's self-taught 'five marksmanship', you should be cautious, this marksmanship is too evil, and it greatly affects the mind, so you should be careful! ”
"Master, don't worry, you can save it!" Xiang Ao listened carefully to the old Taoist's instructions, and his heart was warm. Since he was sensible, he learned that he had no father or mother, and he could be carefully cared for and taught by the old Taoist priest, and Xiang Ao was grateful. In Xiang Ao's heart, he treated the old Taoist priest as if he were his biological father, and respected him.
"There are a few teenagers in the village under the mountain begging for the teacher to let Ao Er take him out to see the world when he travels, and the teacher has promised to come down, and the apprentice will take a trip when he leaves, if he is interested, he will take it all the way!" The old Taoist priest recalled the request of the young man in the village under the mountain and said: "By the way, there is also Gao De, a man who is treated by the disciples in the village, who is determined to recognize you as the master and is willing to be a servant." If Ao Er thinks it's okay, she will accept it, and there will be a care on the way. ”
"Yes! Master! ”
That night, Xiang Ao was a little reluctant, a little excited, and a little confused. It seems that Xiang Ao has a voice in his heart that keeps telling Xiang Ao that he wants to go down the mountain to look for it. As for whether it was a person or an object, Xiang Ao didn't even know.
The next day, Xiang Ao took a dog-like beast that grew up together, bid farewell to the old Taoist, and reluctantly left the mountain hut where he had lived for a long time. Coming to the bottom of the mountain, there are many people in the Shenxiang Village who are willing to follow Xiang Ao's outing. There is Jiang Yan, the grandson of the village chief Jiang Lao; There is also a pair of brothers, a pair named Jiao Meng and Jiao Jing, who are famous for distinguishing people, Jiao Meng is as his name suggests, his strength is infinite, and his head is simple. Jiao Jing is his younger brother, his martial arts are average, but he is a lot more sleek and eloquent.
After that, there are two households of outsiders, one is Gao De, who treats Xiang Ao's legs and recognizes Xiang Ao, and the other is the Zhao family brothers and sisters who fled here, the brother's name is Zhao Liang, and the sister's real name is unknown, everyone calls Xiaoya. Zhao Liang doesn't have too many highlights, it is very ordinary, but his sister Xiaoya is different from ordinary women, who used to pester Xiang Ao every day to learn martial arts.
Gao Detie and the people of the state, the word is correct, and he was also a scholar before he recovered the Western Han Dynasty, but now no one knows about it, and he has become a poor family. He had no parents, and before fleeing, his only brother was framed and imprisoned by the Bingzhou clan and died. Gao De took advantage of the dark moon to kill the warriors and flee. His legs and feet were also injured when he escaped, and he thought that he would be disabled for life, and he didn't want to be treated by Xiang Ao. Gao De also said that he hoped that when Xiang Aoyou studied and merged with the state, if he could find his nephew, he would take care of it.
Xiang Ao is very popular among everyone in Shenxiang Village, not only often teaching young people knowledge and martial arts, but also often treating villagers without asking for compensation. Coupled with Xiang Ao's handsome and chic pretty face and steady performance on weekdays, many girls in the village have a secret wish for Xiang Ao, and the granddaughter of the village chief, Jiang Yan's sister Jiang Yao'er is one of them. Although there is no family in the village, but it is also after the former courtiers fled, poetry and calligraphy etiquette is a compulsory course on weekdays, and Jiang Yan and Jiang Yaoer after the village chief needless to say, the men are extraordinary in learning and martial arts, and the women are knowledgeable. After being sensible, Xiang Ao has also been devoted to Jiang Yao'er for a long time.
If it weren't for the escort of Cai Yong Cai this time, everyone didn't know how much risk there was on the road, Xiang Ao He didn't want to take Jiang Yao'er on the road with him, and occasionally he could spend the first month.
Even if the old Taoist priest found a good horse for a group of several people, it would take half a month all the way from Shennongjia to Luoyang. When passing through Xiangyang, Xiang Ao delayed for half a day to visit Sima Hui and Pang Degong. What made Xiang Ao extremely happy was that he met Xu Fu and Xu Yuanzhi, who were very good when he was studying in the past, and talked for a long time before leaving. Originally, Xiang Ao invited Xu Fu to go on the road together, and he saw the customs of the Northern Regions in the northern Xinjiang, but Xu Fu had just returned to his hometown and had to take care of his old mother at home, so Xiang Ao had to give up.
"Brother Yuan, you and I are like-minded, and it's a pity that we can't go through the same journey!" Xiang Ao sighed and said, really regretting in his heart that Xu Fu couldn't go the same way.
"Haha, we martial arts practitioners, Brother Ao must not be so hypocritical. After doing a little filial piety, after learning a little knowledge from Pang Degong and Decao Gong, I will go to find Brother Ao, you and I will do chivalrous things and benefit the people! Xu Fu laughed and comforted Xiang Aodao.
"That's nature!" Xiang Ao stepped forward and hugged Xu Fu and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, there will be a period later!" ”
"There will be a date later!"
After bidding farewell to Xu Fu and the others, Xiang Ao hurried to Luoyang with everyone so as not to miss the exiled Cai Yong.
Xiang Ao led everyone to Luoyang, and rushed to Luoyang the day before Cai Yong was about to seal the edict and go to Shuofang.
"I don't want to see each other for many years, Brother Xiang has been born so handsome!" Cao Cao is also considered a student of Cai Yong, Cai Yong was exiled, and Cao Cao also came to see him off. Seeing Xiang Ao's proud length and handsome face, Cao Cao said enviously.
"Brother Meng De has a good reputation!" Xiang Ao replied: "In the past, Ao was young, and there were some wild words, Brother Meng De must not take it to heart!" ”
"Hahaha! Young people should be frivolous! Gongsun Zhan stepped forward and patted Xiang Ao's arm vigorously and said: "We are contemporary heroes, modesty should be there, but if we are too modest, it is hypocrisy!" This is what Brother Xiang said! ”
"Yes, too! Yes also! Xiang Ao chuckled, a little embarrassed to reply.
