After the Spring Festival, everything recovered, but everywhere in the land of Kyushu many civilians were starving.

Because in recent years, there have been continuous disasters and famines in various states, and there have been many corrupt officials who have levied and extorted money violently, resulting in starvation and exile in Kyushu. Many people who do small businesses have also lost their money because of the chaos of the world, and they have either died in other places or become poor and homeless.

Lousang Village, a small isolated village, took Liu Chen and left again after the New Year, but Liu Bei did not return to the Wenjing Academy, because before he was about to leave, Liu Bei's mother fell ill, and Liu Bei had to write a letter to Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi replied not to read it.

Liu Bei sat at the door of his house in a daze that day, because the money at home was about to run out, Liu's mother needed to spend a lot of money to take medicine every day, and Liu Bei was embarrassed to borrow money from his uncle Liu Yuanqi. Liu Bei scratched his ears and cheeks, what a penny, is it a hero, Gan Mei looked at Liu Bei and said, "Xuande, I have a way"

Liu Bei asked with joy on his face, "What way?" ”

Gan Mei smiled and said, "Remember the straw sandals we knitted when we were kids?" We can weave straw sandals and sell them in Zhuojun! ”

Liu Bei clapped his hands, yes, just do it.

In this isolated village, the two lived a life of male farmers and female weavers.

What kind of ambition, except for violence and peace, at this moment is not as good as a beauty, Liu Bei now just wants to live like this with Ganmei for the rest of his life.

The piano is combined.

A desolate mountain village, where every household is tormented by the plague, people die every day, and the stench of decay fills the village. When the wind and sand rose, a man wearing a yellow cloak and a hat on his head walked on this desolate road, the jackdaw screamed, he raised his head and looked at the surrounding scene with compassionate eyes from time to time, and faintly, the man's white beard could be seen.

The man was followed by two men who were also wearing cloaks and hats, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

The man stood in the middle of the village, he commanded the two men behind him, gathered the people infected with the plague together, the man reached out and took out a piece of talisman paper, and the talisman paper burned out of thin air. The man placed the burning talisman paper into a large cauldron in front of him, in which some unknown herbs were boiled.

After the man had done all this, he distributed the potions in the pot to the plague patients. The villagers did not hesitate, when the plague first broke out, the government was helpless, so they could only fend for themselves, and sent heavy troops to cover the village on the periphery, allowing them to enter but not to leave, and the villagers could only wait here to die.

Until the day before yesterday, this mysterious man came to the silent village, and he told them that they could drive away the plague, and that the villagers would be dead horses and live horse doctors, and it would be a big deal to continue to wait for death.

An hour passed, and the villagers were surprised to find that the plague that had tormented them was really cured, and the villagers bowed to the man in front of them with gratitude.

The mysterious man took off his hat, this man had a yellow scarf wrapped around his forehead, and his gray hair made him look a little old, but his voice was even older and full of vicissitudes: "Do you know why the plague is rampant now, and the disasters have been going on for many years, so that the people are not able to make a living? ”

The villagers shook their heads, and some of the elders in the village who survived said to the man, "We are ignorant, I would like to hear the benefactor high."

The man's eyes looked down with pity from top to bottom, and the villagers kneeling on the ground said, "Because the sky is dead!" ”

After the man finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but the villagers hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Benefactor, what is the sky dead?" ”

The man smiled mysteriously and said, "If you want to protect yourself, the only way to do this is to join the Taiping Dao, remember that the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand!" ”

"Benefactor, I am willing to enter the Taiping Road"

The man turned his back and said, "Okay, in that case, you should remember one thing, all my Taiping Dao members need to wear a yellow scarf on their heads, which is also the respect for the yellow sky."

"I don't know what to call the benefactor," the villagers knelt on the ground

The man had already put on his hat again, and he turned his head and said to the villagers, "I, I am the great sage and good teacher of Taiping Dao--- Zhang Jiao!" ”

"You're the Great Teacher?"

"Yes, I'm just, okay, I'm going to preach in the next place, all of you get up!" After Zhang Jiao finished speaking, he left without looking back. Out of the village, turn left and right, Zhang Jiao and the three came to a secluded place, Zhang Jiao took off the hat, and the two people behind him also took off the hat, these two people are Zhang Jiao's brothers, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were blue-eyed and red-eyed, the three of them sat on the ground, Zhang Jiao looked at the city in the distance, where life was boiling, but in Zhang Jiao's eyes, the people who lived there were groups of walking corpses, although they all had smiles on their faces, but they were just groups of hypocritical madmen.

Zhang Jiao ate some food, stood up and said to Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, "Let's go, let's go to the next place!" ”

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang put on hats and followed Zhang Jiao, and the three of them gradually drifted apart.

The distant mountains do not see the people of the old days

Yizhou Heming Mountain, where the mountains are majestic, the forests are luxuriant, surrounded by double streams, and the shape is like a standing crane that spreads its wings and wants to fly; The pines and cypresses become forests, verdant and dripping, mountain streams and streams, there is a sound, Heming Mountain is north of Qingcheng Mountain, south of Emei Mountain, west of Wuyun Mountain, enough to reach Tianfu Plain, is a rare Taoist blessed land.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Daoling, the first generation of Heavenly Master, chose the Heavenly Master's Mansion here. Zhengyi's first-generation Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, created the way of Zhengyi Alliance, set up twenty-four governance, and had three first-generation disciples, namely Wang Chang, Zhao Sheng, and his son Zhang Heng, and Zhengyi is famous for sword seals and talismans.

There are many legends about Zhang Daoling, this Zhang Daoling itself is a genius who has not met in a hundred years, he likes the art of Huang Lao, he once made alchemy in an unknown mountain, there is a red light room in one year, there is a green dragon and white tiger in two years, and the three years of Dancheng are completed, and half a piece is taken into the body of the earth immortal, so this mountain is also named Dragon and Tiger Mountain.

Zhang Daoling has two rune swords, one is called a god and two Yu Lei, relying on these two rune swords Zhang Daoling slashed countless demons and demons, and later flew up with a mortal body. Before ascending, he passed the position of Heavenly Master to his son Zhang Heng and left a sentence: The position of Shaowu is not passed on to the descendants of my family.

And now the master of this Heavenly Master's Mansion is Zhang Daoling's son, the second-generation Heavenly Master Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng's face is thin, although his talisman technique is not as good as his father Zhang Daoling, but it should not be underestimated, at this time he is sitting in the lobby of the Heavenly Master's Mansion in Heming Mountain, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him and asking, "Is there anything wrong with Zhang Saijiu?" ”

The man known as the sacrificial wine is in his early forties and has a pair of triangular eyes, which is the best of Zhang Daoling's three hundred and second generations of disciples. In order to facilitate management, Zhang Daoling divided his subordinates into several levels, and those who had just entered the Tao were called ghost pawns; Those who can perform prayer rituals for Taoists and sick people are called ghost officials** orders; Those who have outstanding ability and can teach the Tao Te Ching are called sacrificial wine. The sacrificial wine is responsible for presiding over the various educational affairs of the diocese of Yizhi, directly under the leadership of the Heavenly Master, and is responsible for the Heavenly Master. There are a total of twenty-four rules under the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and there are twenty-four sacrificial wines. This correction is the sacrificial wine of Ba County in the south of Yizhou, and it is the spokesperson of the Heavenly Master's Mansion in Ba County.

Zhang Xiu said to Zhang Heng: "Have you ever heard of the Taiping Dao? ”

Zhang Heng frowned, he didn't know why Zhang Xiu asked like this, Taiping Dao he still knew that the rise in the past ten years, most of the sect members wrapped yellow scarves on their heads, serving Huang Lao's way, Taiping Dao cultivated disciples to kneel and bow to the head; The leader of the Taiping Dao is called the great sage and good teacher, he sent eight disciples to the Quartet, to teach the world with good Taoism, turn to bewilder, more than ten years, hundreds of thousands of disciples, connecting the county, since Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, Yu, there are Taiping Daoists.

The great sages and good teachers have set up 36 parties, more than 10,000 people in the big way, and 6 or 7,000 in the small side, each of which is handsome.

Zhang Heng was actually vaguely hostile to Taiping Dao in his heart, because of the appearance of Taiping Dao, the incense of Zhengyi was greatly impacted, and many pilgrims turned to believe Taiping Dao, "What does Zhang Xijiu want to say?" Straight to the point? Zhang Heng picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

Zhang Xiu took a step forward and said, "Yesterday, Tang Zhou, a disciple of the Great Sage and Good Master of the Taiping Dao, came to me, and he said that he wanted to see the Heavenly Master!" ”

"Tang Zhou?" Zhang Heng thought for a moment and asked, "What did he do when he saw me?" ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "I don't know about this."

Zhang Heng thought for a moment and said, "In this way, you bring him here to see me tomorrow."

Zhang Xiu lowered his body in response, then turned around and was about to leave, when a pedestrian suddenly bumped into him

"Oh, who is so short-sighted?"

The one who spoke was a young man in his twenties, wearing a black robe, who was Zhang Heng's eldest son, Zhang Lu. This Zhang Lu is also the next Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, so Zhengyi calls him Little Heavenly Master up and down, Zhang Xiu hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Little Heavenly Master, I was reckless."

Zhang Lu saw that it was Zhang Xiu, and said with an arrogant expression, "Next time, you will have more eyes."

Zhang Xiu's body lowered and smiled.

Zhang Lu snorted coldly and said, "Let's go down."

Zhang Xiu turned around and walked out of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, the smile on his face instantly turned into a sneer, he turned around and looked at the gate of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, his eyes were full of resentment.

On the second day, in the Heavenly Master Hall of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Zhang Heng was wearing a Heavenly Master Taoist robe, sitting on the main seat, and opposite him stood a young man wearing a yellow scarf, who was Tang Zhou, a disciple of the great sage and good master of the Taiping Dao.

After everyone finished saluting, Zhang Heng took the lead in saying to Tang Zhou, "I don't know what happened to my Heavenly Master's Mansion when little Taoist friends came to my Heavenly Master's Mansion?" ”

Tang Zhou looked young, but he was firm and serious, and he faintly had the demeanor of a vertical and horizontal family, Tang Zhou was not hypocritical, he said respectfully, "On the order of the family master, I came to discuss the alliance with the heavenly master." ”

"Alliance? What alliance? Zhang Heng didn't know what to do

Tang Zhou smiled lightly and said, "And today, there are only two factions of you and me, and the family teacher means that you and I have formed an alliance to jointly crusade against the demons in the world and maintain the peace of the people."

Zhang Heng pinched his beard and asked, "Since my father, Dao Ling Heavenly Master, sealed the six demon kings in Yudu Mountain and killed the ghost kings of the ten directions, how can this Lang Lang Qiankun come from the demons?" ”

Tang Zhou seemed to have known that Zhang Heng would ask like this, and he said confidently, "The old heavenly master is indeed a genius in the world, if the old heavenly master is still there, naturally no demon will dare to come out, but the old heavenly master has been ascending for fifty years, and in the past fifty years, the blood moon has appeared, and the demon has come out, the family teacher once said that after the blood moon, the demon spirit of the Quartet will rise, and the imperial capital Luoyang is even more demonic, and the family teacher asserts that there must be a big demon in Luoyang City!" ”

Zhang Heng frowned slightly, it is indeed as Tang Zhou said, after the blood moon, strange things continue to happen everywhere, and the Heavenly Master's Mansion has also dealt with many demonic things, but this Luoyang City is where the Son of Heaven lives, and it is where the dragon qi of the Han Dynasty is located, how can there be such a thing as demons and evils? Zhang Heng asked intently, "What else did your great sage and good teacher say?" ”

Tang Zhou smiled slightly, "The family teacher said, the sky is dead!" ”

Suddenly, Zhang Heng stood up from his seat, sweat on his forehead, the sky died, Huang Tiansheng, his father was reluctant to fly to the heavenly realm, he once asked his father, and his father said this to him at that time, this great sage and good teacher seems to be very simple.

Tang Zhou saw Zhang Heng's performance, his eyes flickered a few times, he didn't know how Zhang Heng could have such a big reaction.

"Daoyou, forgive me, let's get here today, I'll consider the alliance" Zhang Heng knew that he had lost his temper, so he said humbly, "Come on, take this Taoist friend to the guest room to rest!" ”

After Zhang Heng finished speaking, a maid came up from the hall, came to Tang Zhou's side and whispered, "Guest, please"

Tang Zhou wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed and shook his head and followed the maid.

At this time, Zhang Heng was the only one left in the lobby, and he sat in the lobby with a trance-like expression. This position of Heavenly Master is really difficult to do! Zhang Heng had a headache.

The wind rises and the clouds disperse, and the Tao can be natural,

The heavens are dead

So where is the way out for my generation?
