072 Pengcheng

Yang Lin, Yu Wenkai and Yu Shinan walked out of the dormitory, and said all the way, Yang Lin briefly told the two of them what Yang Guang told him, and said in a low voice: "This matter is only known to a few of us for the time being, and it must not be spread again." ”

Yu Wenkai and Yu Shinan nodded at the same time, indicating that they knew, and then Yu Shinan went to the side hall, and after preparing the holy decree, he handed it to Yang Lin and Yu Wenkai respectively, and then the three of them went out of the palace gate and went their separate ways.

Not to mention how Yang Lin summoned the ministers of the hundred officials to read the holy decree, and how Yu Wenkai ordered Laihu'er to lead the troops to Daxing, but after Yu Shinan learned the news, he was a little uneasy.

After returning to the mansion, he locked himself in the house alone, thought about it for a long time, and finally sent a letter to his old friend Pei Lian, who was far away in Jinyang, on the one hand to ask about Li Xiang, and on the other hand, he deliberately revealed Yang Guang's defense of Li Yuan and the matter of coming to protect the army.

After the letter was written, it was sealed with fire paint, and when it was dry, he called his close confidants in.

"Yu Yong, send this letter to Jinyang and hand it over to Lord Pei Lianpei, the supervisor of Jinyang Palace. Remember, be sure to hand it over to him and don't delay on the way. Yu Shinan solemnly handed over the letter to Yu Yong.

Yu Yong nodded and agreed, ensuring that it would be sent to Jinyang as soon as possible.

Yu Shinan relieved his heart and told Yu Yong to go down and prepare and set off as soon as possible.

Yu Yong is the old servant that Yu Shinan brought with him when he went to the capital from his hometown to take office, although he used an old word, but in fact, Yu Yong is not very old. When he followed Yu Shinan, he was only a teenager, and over the years, he was in his thirties, and he was in the prime of life.

Yu Yong knows martial arts, and his martial arts are not weak, and this person has slowly recognized a lot of words with Yu Shinan, which can be regarded as both civil and military.

This person's biggest problem is that he is addicted to alcohol, and because of this problem, Yu Shinan scolded him a lot. As he got older, he also converged a lot.

This time, Yu Shinan used him to deliver the letter, firstly, because he was his most trusted cronie now, and because of Yu Yong's superb martial arts, even if something happened, there was a way to get out of danger.

How do you know that the trouble of the matter will happen to Yu Yong Huiwu.

Yu Yong packed his backpack in the afternoon, went to say goodbye to Yu Shinan and set off. He is actually busier than Yu Shinan, very simply, his mother-in-law is about to give birth in the past two days, and the second child of his family is about to be born.

When he received the matter of sending a letter to Jinyang, he was busy. He wanted to rush back after sending the letter as soon as possible, so he hurried out of the city gate, did not stop for a moment, and went straight to Jinyang.

Along the way, the speed was really fast, and it took three or five days to arrive in Pengcheng.

Pengcheng is today's Xuzhou, Jiangsu, and was the original capital of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Pengcheng was originally Songyi, and later belonged to the Chu State and was called Western Chu, and Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was a person here.

As an important transportation hub connecting the north and the south, Xuzhou has become one of the most important large-scale densely populated cities in the country.

In ancient times, it was also one of the most important military locations, known as the "thoroughfare of the five provinces". Huaihai in the east, the Central Plains in the west, Jianghuai in the south, and Qilu in the north, make Pengcheng, a small town, a place where soldiers of all dynasties must fight.

Such a town that travels from south to north must be relatively developed in commerce. Although there were uprisings everywhere at the end of the Sui Dynasty, this place seemed to be a paradise that survived in the cracks, and it was not affected, on the contrary, even if there were official troops or rebel troops passing by, they rarely fought here.

There is only one reason, Pengcheng is the birthplace of a celebrity. This celebrity is called Zhang Ling!

Maybe just saying his name may not make it clear who he is, but if you bring his name, I believe many people will know who he is.

Zhang Ling is his common name, he also has a Taoist name, called Zhang Daoling, and also founded a sect called Wudou Mijiao.

Now you should know who he is!

Zhang Daoling is the eighth grandson of Zhang Liang and is regarded as the founder of Taoism and the founder of Wudou Midao. Taoists call him Zhang Daoling, Zhang Tianshi, and Zhengyi Zhenren. He was nine feet three inches long, with thick eyebrows and a large face, red top and green eyes, a high nose, and three horns in his eyes. Hanging down his hands and knees, with a thick beard, he walks with a dragon and a tiger, which is very powerful.

Like all ancient gods and men when they were born, on the day Zhang Daoling was born, yellow clouds hung over the house, and purple qi filled the courtyard. The light in the room is like the sun and the moon shining, and I smell the strange fragrance in the dream, which does not disperse for a long time.

Zhang Daoling is the last immortal figure in Chinese mythology and history, according to legend, he can fly to the sky, turn stones into gold, and the ability to virtualize, is the last apprentice of Taishang Laojun after the Eight Immortals. According to legend, Zhang Daoling used the tiger as his mount, and in some Taoist schools, Zhang Daoling and Ge Xuan, Xu Xun, and Sa Shoujian were the four great heavenly masters.

Legend has it that he buried himself in the study at the age of seven, reading the Tao Te Ching, Hetu, and Luo Shu, and leading the mysteries. At the age of nineteen, he set up an account to give lectures, and later served as the commander of Jiangzhou. At the age of twenty-four, he married Sun. Due to various social reasons at that time, Zhang Daoling had no intention of officialdom and decided to cultivate the Tao to save the people.

It is said that Zhang Daoling set up 24 rules in the realm of Shu and Han, as the institution of the Tao, successively preached in Qingcheng Mountain, Longhu Mountain, and Bashu area, and founded an early non-governmental organization of Chinese Taoism.

The ancient people and officials believed in such myths and legends, and the existence of such characters shows the prosperity of a dynasty, and there is also a place where such gods were born, that is, the holy land.

And Zhang Daoling's deeds are mostly related to saving the people and saving the common people, so he belongs to the kind of immortal who saves the suffering in the hearts of the people, so he is the patron saint of this city in Pengcheng.

Whether it is a prosperous era or a troubled era, the people of Pengcheng are proud to live in such a fairy city. Similarly, many officials and generals also believed that Pengcheng was protected by Zhang Daoling, and even if it was really for many political or military reasons, they would not kill it.

This is the fundamental reason why Peng Cheng was able to stand alone in the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Now Yu Yong is in this city of immortals, it is noon, the weather is hot, Yu Yong, who is sweating profusely, is riding on a horse, wiping his sweat with his sleeves, while looking around at the small shop where he eats.

Coincidentally, these days are the birthday of the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, so the whole city is holding a grand commemorative event, so the large and small shops in the city, and the Taoist believers who come from all over the world all gather here, filling the small Pengcheng to the brim.

Yu Yong found several shops, but they were all full, and he didn't have time to serve him at all.

He was depressed in his heart, how could he be so unlucky, he originally planned to have a full meal here, buy a few more days of dry food, and then go directly through Pengcheng towards Jinyang, and then walk for three or five days to Luoyang, and then find a store to have a good meal.

Now it seems that not to mention shopping, even to eat, you have to watch the time on time.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to stay in Pengcheng today, wait until tomorrow and set off again, and by the way, see what is going on here.

Pengcheng is very small, with only four main streets, east, west, north and south. Yu Yong walked from South Street to the center of the city, and there were Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes everywhere along the way, and he couldn't figure out what was going on, while following a group of Taoist priests into a restaurant that looked relatively large.

The horses were tied to the tethered stone outside the door, carrying a backpack, and followed the Taoist priests into the restaurant.

The restaurant was already overcrowded, and as soon as those Taoist priests entered, they met many fellow Taoists and greeted each other. Yu Yong found a table in the corner and sat down, and called Xiao Er to finally order.

As soon as the meal was ordered, the group of Taoist priests who had just come in began to look for a table to eat. It's a pity that there are too many people, and there is really no extra table to sit so many people, so Xiao Er came over with three Taoist priests, accompanied by a smile and asked Yu Yong if he could share a table with these people.

Yu Yong didn't care, nodded, and Xiao Erqian thanked the three Taoist priests to sit down, and then went to serve the food.

The three Taoist priests sat down and nodded politely at Yu Yong, thanking them. After a while, Yu Yong and the Taoist priests' meals came up.

Yu Yong kept in mind Yu Shinan's advice, and he didn't drink a drop of wine in the past few days. It's a pity that he doesn't drink, and the Taoist priests don't have so many estimates, so they loudly called Xiao Er to serve good wine, and opened the mud seal in front of Yu Yong, and the tangy aroma of wine immediately hooked Yu Yong's gluttony.

He sat there with his head down and slammed the food into his mouth, but he heard the three people talking.

"Brother Dao, is this the good wine made by the Bright Moon Boy you said? It's really fragrant! A Taoist asked the one next to him.

The other smiled and said: "Yes, I really don't know where this Mingyue boy got such a skill at such a young age, could it be that he is also a fairy figure?" The Taoist priest who answered said as he poured his wine.

The third person suddenly whispered, "Didn't the two Dao brothers hear the rumors?" ”

"What rumors?" The other two asked at the same time.

"It is said that Li Xiang, that is, this Mingyue Gongzi is really a disciple of the immortals, and it is also said that he is the descendant disciple of Taishang Laojun!" The third leaned forward and whispered.

"Oh? Is this true? The first person asked in surprise.

"It's all rumors, what's true or false, most of them are lies!" The second one is a little less convinced.

The third person said very seriously: "Brother Dao is cautious, have you forgotten what kind of place this is?" How can you say the rights and wrongs of the Immortal Venerable in such a place! ”

"Sin, sin!" The other two instantly closed their eyes and bowed their heads with one palm, expressing regret and admitting their mistakes.

Yu Yong, who was surprised to listen to it, raised his head and looked at the three of them, not knowing whether to open his mouth to ask what was going on.
