Section 25 Drunken Yuanjin (I)
Thank you Feng Yin. Thank you Suifeng, thank you Shuilongyi
Also, as I said yesterday, today is the free chapter......
~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the seventeenth year of Emperor Dazhong, on the twenty-first day of May, Wurong, thirty miles outside Linjiabao
Zhang Yuanjin touched the wine glass, sullen.
The three brothers have never seen each other with heart, Zhang Yuankong and Zhang Yuanhe's differences were not hidden from him at all, although no one asked him to express his position, but this still made Zhang Yuanjin fall into great depression.
Zhang Yuanjin felt that everything Zhang Yuankong said was completely correct: in his mind, he did not think that it was essential to stand in front of the emperor, and he did not think that Daomen should have amazing wealth and influence like other top families. Pious belief and loyal believers are the core of a sect.
But Zhang Yuanjin also agrees with everything Zhang Yuanhe said: he was born in Longhu, shouldn't he really put the interests of Longhushan first?
Zhang Yuanjin just felt that Zhang Yuanhe was too extreme: after all, at both ends of the scale, there were countless lives and innocent lives, but in the face of his question, Zhang Yuanhe smiled bitterly and asked a rhetorical question.
"Do you think that the interests of Longhu Mountain are not as important as so many human lives, then Wei, Yuanjin, do you think that when the number of lives on the opposite side is reduced, you will be willing to give priority to the interests of Longhu Mountain?"
For the death of a passerby, will Zhang Yuanjin be willing to compensate for the interests of Longhu Mountain? Oh, reluctantly, very well, then, what about two passers-by, two passers-by who don't know each other at all?
The constant repetition of questions made Zhang Yuanjin sweat profusely, making him unable to answer, he never thought of quantifying such a thing to one or two human lives, let alone saying where the boundary in his mind was.
"So, you see, Mototsu, this world is like this."
In Zhang Yuanhe's view, there are two kinds of people in this world, one kind of people work, and the other kind of people distribute, the laborer is buried in the field, and the loom is on the loom, and the distributor sits in the temple, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and determining the fortune of the world.
"The sage once said, "Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people...... Actually, that's exactly what happened. ”
"We are allocators, whether you and Senior Brother want to admit it or not, we are allocators. We are the true inheritance of Longhu Mountain, and we carry on our shoulders the inheritance of nearly 10,000 people and thousands of years of inheritance in Longhu Mountain, which is our responsibility and cannot be escaped. ”
Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Masters can marry wives and have children, and among the Heavenly Masters of the past dynasties, there are also many cultivators who choose the best among their own children, but in most cases, this son will still be passed on to the best of the next generation of disciples.
"Master has never married in his life, or has several distant relatives, but at least we have never heard of it."
To put it bluntly, Zhang Yuankong is naturally the next Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master, and Zhang Yuanjin and himself should probably share the duties of passing on merit and law enforcement, assisting Zhang Yuankong, and coming to the Longhu Mountain Gate.
"This is our duty, the duty at the forefront, because we owe Master and Longhushan."
The three are all orphans, who have been sluggish since childhood, for them, Zhang Dian is also a master and a father, and Longhu Mountain is their home. Zhang Yuanhe told Zhang Yuanjin very strongly that in his own thoughts, in this world, there is nothing more important than Longhu Mountain.
"You said that someone in the city would die, you can't look past it, and you don't hesitate to destroy the interests of our Longhu Mountain for this, but I came to ask you, Yuanjin."
Every day, there are soldiers on the long border line in the north who fall in the battle with the Xiang people, they are all Xia people, they are all innocent, so why didn't Zhang Yuanjin pour out the manpower and material resources of Longhu Mountain to go there to support the soldiers there and protect the border people there?
"Is it because you have not seen their wounds with your own eyes, and have you not heard their cries with your own ears?"
"Second Senior Brother, you let me think about it...... Think about it. ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Three real people, do you have something on your mind?"
"There's a hairy matter, don't you pull away from the topic, did you finish drinking a cup just now? …… Wine is as good as character! ”
“…… Sanzhenren, you can look down on my drinking, but you must not look down on my drinking! ”
His eyes were round, and he slapped the table hard, it was Yan Sha, one of the three envoys of Manichaeism, who was the envoy of the world, if he did it, Zhang Yuanjin was confident that he would be able to beat him for more than one and a half, but now, the two of them were already half drunk, pointing fingers and scolding each other, but no one would really use their fists and feet to decide the winner.
"Old Yan...... It's not that I'm talking about you, your little bit of alcohol is your ability to do it...... You drink, you drink! ”
His face was already red and his tongue was already big, Zhang Yuanjin pointed at the other party hard, and at the same time paused his wine glass, regardless of the fact that the wine in the cup was splashing.
~~~~~~~~~~
Zhang Yuanjin and Manichaeism have established a relationship, it is only two days, after Shi Tianlai visited Zhang Yuankong, the "invasion envoy" Yan Sha and the "rejection envoy" Zhao Ying contacted him successively, saying that they were willing to help him and spy on the news in the city of Xingwurong.
"If you can...... No harm to us. ”
At first, he was very cautious, and reported these to Zhang Yuankong and Zhang Yuanhe in time, but Zhang Yuankong was noncommittal, and Zhang Yuanhe thought that there were many benefits to keeping in touch, which made Zhang Yuanjin make up his mind to get mixed up with these rude, arrogant, but refreshing and happy charlatans.
In the past two days, Zhang Yuanjin followed them and infiltrated Wurong twice, although he did not get any particularly valuable information, but he also saw the first-hand reality, and saw that there was no crazy massacre and looting in the city, which also made him feel a lot more relieved.
"Three real people...... No, no, I don't have anything to drink with the three real people. ”
had already drunk until his face was red, Yan Sha slapped the table fiercely with more strength than Zhang Yuanjin, indicating who was the "Three True People"? I don't know him.
"Brother...... Your brother will hold up a big one today. ”
With his tongue wide open, Yan Sha waved his hand vigorously to strengthen his tone, saying that he didn't know any "three real people", but if he said "my brother Yuanjin", he was very familiar.
"Your brother and me...... Fucking drinking is not a no. ”
Pulling his throat, he asked the restaurant to "change the big glass", and it was not until the big bowl that was full of the whole bottle of wine slurry was put on the table that Yan Sha showed a satisfied smile, swayed, and grabbed the wine urn.
"But what...... Brother, your brother's wine, in the past few decades, no one has dared to say strange things. ”
Pouring the bowl to the fullest, grabbing it, raising his head, drinking it all, and putting it down, Yan Sha's face was already clearly a "smirk" look, his body swayed from side to side, and his head was shaking with a greater amplitude, trying to regain his sobriety and balance, but in this effort, he was even more chaotic.
“…… Tsk, waste is waste, what else do you do but drink? ”
Suddenly, such a sneer came, Zhang Yuanjin and Yan Sha, who had already drunk to the point of being half-drunk, turned their heads at the same time, revealing a displeased look, and then, they saw a middle-aged man with the same black hair and black eyes, but with a beard and a look like a man, standing next to the wine table with full disdain.
Yumegawa Takine...... Are you looking for something ugly again? ”
After seeing the other party's face clearly, Yan Sha frowned and scolded impatiently, but the other party just sneered and was completely unmoved.
"Master Yan, please call me a messenger of light."
Raising his eyebrows lightly, the person who came said that of course, he was not incomprehensible, after all, a person like Yan Sha was incomparable in his majesty when he drank wine, and he could do things...... It would be nice to be able to figure out what your last name is.
"So, I've always wondered why you two Mani lords trust you rough men...... I don't know the beauty of elegance at all, and I drink ...... Even when you drink, you only drink these shoddy liquors. ”
As if to prove the correctness of his words, the man raised the glass of Boli in his hand with contempt on his face, and in it was a blood-colored fruit wine.
"Wine Luminous Glass...... It's a pity that this kind of taste is not something that a rough person like you can taste. ”
“…… What the are you talking about! ”
Yan Sha swayed left and right, poking out his fingers hard, but always pointing in the wrong direction, shaking up and down, not looking like he was shaking his majesty, but more like he had epilepsy.
(Sure enough...... The second senior brother is right. )
Lowering his head and hiding his expression in the wine, Zhang Yuanjin's gaze was as cold as a knife, and he was not half drunk.
(Well, let me see...... How do you decide the winners? )
~~~~~~~
"Yuanjin, whether you agree with my judgment or not, I will always tell you these things."
After carefully studying the relevant materials of the Sanyi Religion, Zhang Yuanhe told Zhang Yuanjin that today's Manichaeism actually includes two cores.
"Black-crowned Mani, Liu Hong, although he has been closed to the Great Light Ship of the Manichaean Helm for many years, but after all, as a Xia person, Shi Tian, Yan Sha and Zhao Yang, no matter what you say, are closer to him more."
As for the white-crowned Mani, he has never been known for his military force, although there are five Mingzi under the seat, but half of them are also Xia people, Zhang Yuanhe originally thought that his influence in Manichaeism, at least among the Xia people, really can not be compared with Liu Hong.
"But if you look at the information...... In recent years, the Breeze has not been idle. ”
After entering Wurong, he continued to get the latest information, Zhang Yuanhe told Zhang Yuanjin that at present, the five Mingzi who belonged directly to Fu Duo Xuan had completed the replacement of the old and the new, respectively named the Ming Envoy of the World, the Ten Heavenly King, the Demon Victory Envoy, the Bright Envoy, and the Five Envoys of the Earth, although only two of them were pure-blooded people, but they were all desperate and loyal to Fu Duo Ming.
"But, it's really only good for us."
Without concealing anything, Zhang Yuanhe told Zhang Yuanjin that in his opinion, in the recent past, or, more accurately, before Chen Anguo entered Wurong and launched an offensive to make the situation irreparable, the Nestorian and Zoroastrian religions would launch a surprise attack on the Manichaeism, and after completely killing the voices that could be spoken, they would completely put the responsibility for this mutiny on the Manichaeism, and then come up with a confession that was sufficient to confess.
"And in the process, what we can communicate directly with them, and even testify, is only good, not bad."
Because of this, Zhang Yuanhe hoped that Zhang Yuanjin could communicate as much as possible with the Manichaean people, that is, Shi Tian and others, and drink and have fun with them...... In short, to be a qualified witness.
"Those who really know what to do, they will do the right thing at the right time, and of course, there needs to be a proper testimony at this time."
Clearly tell Zhang Yuanjin that since the Manichaeans took the initiative to show goodwill, it would be better to befriend them, so that it would be most conducive to Zhang Yuanjin's testimony in the future.
"Okay, second senior brother, leave it to me."
did not make up his mind to choose his own position between the differences between Zhang Yuankong and Zhang Yuanhe, but because of this, Zhang Yuanjin felt that it was best for him to work hard to make arrangements for any senior brother, just like now, when he saw the "Five Mingzi" among the "Five Mingzi" "Urging the Light Envoy" Mengchuan Takini to provoke Yan Sofa, Zhang Yuanjin just silently lowered his head, pretending to be drunk to the point of being unconscious.
"Whoever has the upper hand is not a bad thing for us...... Well, if I want to come, if I have a heart, I don't have a heart, and the side that has the upper hand will be bigger. ”
Facts have proved that Zhang Yuankong's conjecture is completely correct, Yan Sha, who was drunk to the point of drunkenness, was not the opponent of the self-proclaimed "Messenger of Light" "Mengchuan Takiyin", as soon as he came up, he was hooked to the ground by the other party, as for the back, it was just a unilateral beating and humiliation, and even, the other party probably took out a white veil to cover his eyes in order to show his arrogance, but even so, he still occupied the absolute upper hand, wantonly releasing his hostility and pleasure.
In this process, Zhang Yuanjin was silent, while doing his best to Zhang Yuanhe's explanation, trying to observe, and remembering, on the other hand, he kept grabbing the wine glass and pouring the clear wine into his mouth.
…… Then, when Yan Sha was completely knocked down, when the man was laughing while kicking Yan Sha hard, Zhang Yuanjin, who was rushed to the top of his head by the drunkenness, suddenly, slapped the table heavily and stood up.
I said...... Enough is enough! ”
