Chapter 18 The Descendants of Lu Sheng
In the early morning of the next day, after Lu Liang went out of the door, Lu Chengkong also rushed out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Along the way, he deliberately paid attention to the seven bookstores in the county, and the people in the store had never heard of "The Art of War", but "The Art of War" was sold everywhere. He carefully compared the book of "Lu Sheng's Art of War" in his arms with the version sold in the bookstore, except for a slight difference in the cover, the content was exactly the same.
"The Art of War is unique to this world, since it can appear thousands of years later...... Maybe it's the link between the future and the world! Lu Chengkong no longer hesitated, it seems that the solution to all the mysteries is in the teahouse.
Since it was still early, the teahouse had just opened, and there were only a few sparse tea customers. Compared with usual, the teahouse without the storyteller is a little more elegant.
Lu Chengkong had already thought of his rhetoric last night, he looked for the shopkeeper, greeted him, and asked, "Little second brother, dare to ask the shopkeeper Gu Ye is in the store?" β
The shopkeeper pointed to an old man not far away and said, "Gu Ye is there." β
Lu Chengkong recognized the person clearly, but he was not in a hurry to step forward, pretending to be slow, and came to a position closer to the old man and sat down. Last night, he had already made a preliminary inference: since he often ran to the teahouse, and the statement about Lu Sheng's descendants came from here, he must have known Gu Ye. If you rush forward rashly at this time, it will definitely arouse suspicion. So, he decided to stay on the sidelines.
The shopkeeper of the teahouse is named Gu Yuansheng, who is nearly seventy years old, and everyone else calls him Gu Ye.
The shopkeeper served tea, Lu Chengkong picked up the teacup, first tasted it, and then put the book "Lu Sheng's Art of War" in his arms in a conspicuous place on the table, and deliberately sighed loudly, just waiting for Gu Ye to take the bait.
Gu Yuansheng also saw Lu Chengkong, and when he heard his sigh, he really walked towards him calmly, and when he got closer, he smiled on his face and said, "Lu Xiaoyou, why did you come to the teahouse early in the morning today?" β
Lu Chengkong looked at Gu Yuansheng carefully, and saw that his face was kind, his hair and beard were already gray, but his spirit was strong, and his heart suddenly gave birth to a slight sense of closeness. As the saying goes, each other is born from the heart, although appearance cannot represent everything about a person, but it can leave traces of character and character. "Hey." Lu Chengkong sighed deliberately, touched the Lu Sheng's Art of War on the table, and said in disappointment: "Gu Ye, you also know that I have loved military books since I was a child, especially this "Lu Sheng's Art of War". But these days, the more I read this book, the more confused I became......" Speaking of this, he secretly glanced at Gu Yuansheng, only to see that he did not have a surprised look, just nodded, and Lu Chengkong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Gu Yuansheng sat down opposite Lu Chengkong, picked up the book "Lu Sheng's Art of War", and said, "Lu Xiaoyou, you are an apprentice of the four disciplines, will you still be stumped by this book?" β
The world has information about itself, and it all comes from Pang An's mouth. Lu Chengkong saw Gu Yuansheng's natural expression, which meant that he had entered the "role", so he no longer hesitated, he said whatever he wanted to ask, and continued: "Gu Ye doesn't know anything, I ...... Although he has been familiar with the "Art of War of Lu Sheng" since he was a child, there are very few records of Lu Sheng in the history books. In the past, I listened to the Lu Sheng in the mouths of those storytellers, and he was one point real and nine parts fictional. Gu Ye, you have a good demeanor, you must be well-informed, and you must know Lu Sheng's affairs well. It's better to take advantage of the free time today and tell you to listen to it. β
Gu Yuansheng heard Lu Chengkong's compliment, and expected that he was young and curious, so he was not disgusted, and Gu Yuansheng liked to talk with friends from all over the world in his life, but he was also interested, and gently stroked "Lu Sheng's Art of War", and said: "This book is one of the most widely circulated and influential works of the military family. He was already holding a teapot in his hand, and when he said this, he took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and put on a bit of a storytelling appearance, and said: "Since Lu Xiaoyou wants to hear about Lu Sheng's deeds, Gu will say a little bit about it." β
Lu Chengkong was secretly happy, but he didn't expect that he would be able to know everything without any extra effort. He wanted to ask Gu Yuansheng if he knew about his grandson, but he stopped. At this time, listen more and talk less to get the most complete information.
"Lu Sheng......" Gu Yuansheng said unhurriedly: "As far as Gu knows, the most important art of war in the world today is the four holy scriptures of the military family, "Taigong Twenty-four Chapters", "Tiger Yin Sutra", "Taibai Testament", and "Lu Sheng's Art of War". Among them, the "Lu Sheng's Art of War", according to legend, was written by Lu Wu of the Qin Dynasty two thousand years ago, Lu Wu was the general of the Qin Dynasty's Zhenbei, and he fought five times in the north of the Yangtze River in his life, six battles in the south of the Yangtze River, and eight out of the Jiangdong, without any defeat, known as Lu Sheng, who won a hundred battles. β
"We and other people in later generations also respect him as 'Soldier Lu Sheng'."
Lu Chengkong nodded as he listened, and pondered carefully in his heart: "When did such a powerful figure emerge in the Qin Dynasty?" Lu Sheng's name is Lu Wu, and his grandson's name is Sun Wu. Sun Tzu was a native of the Spring and Autumn Period, while Lu Wu was a native of the Qin Dynasty. From this point of view, these two people were at different times, one after the other, and then they went out of sorts. However, he thought again: "Anyway, it's all chaotic now, the Tang Dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty, and the Qin Dynasty must not be the Qin Dynasty, if Sun Wu and Lu Wu are not confused, it would be strange." β
Gu Yuansheng continued: "There are countless battles of Lu Wu Chuanshen, and one of the most widely recited by the people is the 'Battle of Qinyang City', in this battle, Lu Wu led 100,000 soldiers of the Qin Dynasty to level the rebel Qin Shu in three cities and two palaces in just ten days, capture Qin Shu alive, and rescue the prince. β
Speaking of this, Gu Yuansheng glanced at Lu Chengkong and asked, "Do you know how many soldiers Qin Shu has?" β
Lu Chengkong shook his head.
Gu Yuansheng said in an aggravated tone: "A full 800,000!" β
100,000 over 800,000!
When Lu Chengkong heard this incredible number, he looked at Gu Yuansheng with surprise. He secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that this Lu Sheng is so powerful!" Not only can you win more with less, but you can also go deep alone. If these deeds are true, Lu Wu can be called a military saint no matter which dynasty he is in. β
Gu Yuansheng picked up the "Lu Sheng's Art of War" on the table and said, "After this battle, the strength of Lu Sheng's command not only did not decrease, but increased to 400,000. From the royal family to the commoners, women and children, they all admired him. When Lu Sheng reached his old age, he devoted his life's learning and wrote a book called "Lu Sheng's Art of War". When Gu Yuansheng said this, he thought for a while and said: "If Gu is not mistaken, there are eleven articles in the book, which has been known as the holy book of military science since ancient times, and the generals of the world must study it." From ancient times to the present, who can be stronger than Lu Sheng? β
It is also strange to say, listening to Gu Yuansheng's words about these war scenes that swallow mountains and rivers, Lu Chengkong couldn't help but remember the dream he had on the last night of the future world: the yellow sand is all over the sky, and there are thousands of troops...... It's like being in the middle of it. The horses, armor, and swords beside him are all so familiar.
"What does I have to do with this Lu Sheng?"
But it was only for a moment, Lu Chengkong quickly came back to his senses, nodded at Gu Yuansheng, and said, "Lu Sheng...... Lu Sheng is really powerful. β
"Hmm." Gu Yuansheng was already with reverence, and pointed to the "Lu Sheng's Art of War" and said: "Lu Sheng's ancestor is the ancestor of my Chinese soldiers, and the "Lu Sheng's Art of War" written by him is a classic. We, the descendants of China, can say a sentence or two about its content, more or less. β
Hearing this, Lu Chengkong probably had a number in his heart, no matter whether Lu Wu was Sun Wu or not, the status of the two in different worlds was equally important. At this moment, taking advantage of the rise of Gu Yuansheng's words, he then asked: "What about the 'descendants of Lu Sheng'?" I haven't seen any record in the history books, where are Lu Sheng's descendants? β
Gu Yuansheng smiled "hehe" and said: "Gu heard that two thousand years ago, there was no surname 'Lu' in the Central Plains, and Lu Wunai was the first person with the surname Lu, and legend has it that he came from a place called 'Lu Village'. Since then, his descendants have taken Lu as their surname. All those with the surname Lu in the world are all 'descendants of Lu Sheng'. β
"The surname is Lu...... The surname Lu is the descendant of Lu Sheng? Lu Chengkong's eyes rolled back and forth, and he secretly said in his heart: "What a chicken soup for the soul, how can this statement stand?" It turns out that people in ancient times would be so ignorant! β
But just a moment later, Lu Chengkong, a reader from the future, felt that there were some things that were suppressed in his heart surging. This feeling is uncontrollable.
His face changed slightly, he raised his hand and pressed his chest, combining all the clues together, and gradually had a clue, "I won't come to this world for no reason, first the ancient tree, then the "Lu Sheng's Art of War", and what Lu Sheng's descendants ......?"
"Could it be that all of this is to bring me here step by step?"
"Perhaps, I am really the descendant of Lu Sheng." Lu Chengkong shook his head, and couldn't help but be startled by his own thoughts. If in the past, he would have turned his nose up at these fateful statements. All theories of numerology, in the face of science, cannot stand up to scrutiny. But at the moment, he believes, and the more strange things are, the more he believes.
Gu Yuansheng saw that Lu Chengkong was distracted, but he was still smiling, and continued: "Lu Xiaoyou, you are also surnamed Lu, and the blood of Lu Sheng must flow in your body. The reason why Lu Sheng is invincible is that I think he must have the belief of never giving up. I see that you can't stop sighing today, as if you have lost your soul, this is not the style of Lu Sheng's descendants, since your surname is Lu, you can't lose Lu Sheng's face. β
When Lu Chengkong heard this, he figured out Gu Yuansheng's character. He should have seen his sighs and sighs today, so he comforted himself as an elder. Lu Chengkong suddenly felt guilty, in the face of such an old man, everything he did and said was all calculating, just for clichΓ©s.
This is not just exploitation, but also deception.
In the future world, Lu Chengkong is extremely defensive of strangers, and people are becoming more and more indifferent to each other. However, when he came to this world, in this era, only for dozens of days, he could feel that the people around him were so kind, Lu Liang, Pang An, Pang Zhengkuan, Aunt Zhang, and Gu Ye, the shopkeeper of this teahouse.
"Gu Ye, I ......" Lu Chengkong lowered his head, a little embarrassed, for the first time he found that this chaotic world was not useless, and between people, there was a little more simplicity that the future world would not have.
Just when Lu Chengkong felt a little relieved, he was disturbed by the laughter of the two.
