Zhang Tianbao, formerly known as Zhang Goudan, a native of Ganzhou, was born in 1918 and is 24 years old this year (1942). Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he was 6 years old, because his family was poor, he was sent to a nearby mountain to be a Taoist priest, there was no way, there were 6 brothers and sisters in the family, he was the 7th, and the pregnancy prevention measures were not done, so he came down.
In the Taoist temple, although the life is poor, it is also very fulfilling.
In the Taoist temple on that mountain, there were a total of 6 people, plus him, who relied on a small amount of incense money to eat, and occasionally their master would go down the mountain to do some rituals and earn some extra money.
Zhang Goudan has a total of 4 senior brothers, the eldest is 16 years old and will be able to go down the mountain soon, and he is the youngest, six years old.
In the mountains, every morning to pick up water to cook rice and chop wood, in the morning chanting, in the afternoon to practice martial arts, occasionally into the mountains to hunt to improve the taste.
Originally, such days would have continued, but there were unforeseen circumstances, when he was 16 years old, the old Taoist priest died at the age of 107, in this era, such an advanced age is simply terrifying, out-and-out living immortals.
Even in later generations, the figure of 107 years old is frightening.
As soon as the old Taoist died, the Taoist temple lost its backbone, at that time, there were only 3 people in the Taoist temple, Zhang Goudan's age was the oldest, because later he received two smaller ones, his senior brother was driven down the mountain because of his age, and he was also driven down the mountain this year, but the old Taoist priest died.
The old Taoist priest was kind all his life and had a great reputation in the neighborhood, so after his death, the people in the neighborhood contributed money together to give the old Taoist a grand funeral.
The old Taoist died, and the Taoist temple fell on the head of Zhang Goudan, originally he could rely on this Taoist temple to survive, but unfortunately, he only learned the ability of the old Tao, in addition to reciting some sacrificial texts, playing flower boxing, nothing, and the law will not be done.
Within a year, the Taoist temple was broken in his hands, and he took a few rituals, but they were all messed up, not only did he not get the money, but he was also driven out by the master's family, and he didn't have time to take the things he took down the mountain.
Because the Taoist temple went bankrupt, Zhang Goudan had to dissolve the Taoist temple, everyone packed up their things and went down the mountain, and went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.
After returning home, his parents saw that he was also a big man, and they were ready to tell him about family affairs, but because he was a Taoist priest, he didn't have any skills in his hands, and as a result, the family affairs were not done.
As a result, at the age of 17, in this era, he was considered an older leftover man, and no girl was willing to marry him, so in the end he had to go out to find a Taoist temple to place an order.
However, during the year, the Japanese called, but there were still many ways to go, so I was not afraid, but as a result, a year later, the Japanese called here.
Zhang Goudan just wanted to scold his mother, and finally found a Taoist temple to place an order, but the Japanese called, and the Taoist temple began to clear people, and all irrelevant people were cleared, and Zhang Goudan was undoubtedly driven away.
In the Taoist temple of the pending order, Zhang Goudan learned a lot of deceptive skills, and after being driven out, Zhang Goudan changed his name to Zhang Tianbao and took the names of Zhang Junbao and Zhang Tianshi.
With one-handed money fraud skills, in this troubled world, a small life is okay, not to mention rich and expensive, but you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and you also accept a little brother.
As the war gradually ended, people from all over the country returned to their hometowns, Zhang Goudan, oh no, it was Zhang Tianbao, and he was working more and more.
Until recently, he heard that there was a big business, which was overseas, and once it was done, he would have no worries about eating and drinking in the next life.
He is not the only Taoist priest who is famous, a group of people compete with each other, most of these people he knows, almost all of them are liars, and like him, in the end, he tried his best to beat everyone, was successfully selected, and then took the ship to go abroad.
The first time he went abroad, he was excited, and the ship he was on seemed to be chartered by the master's family, which made him even more excited, if he fooled well, the money would definitely not be less, and he didn't think about what would happen if he failed to fool him.
Sitting on a huge steamer, after the initial excitement is over, endless seasickness and long boring hours follow.
He vomited to death on the boat, and after a few days, he lost a lot of weight and looked even older.
I want to mention here that a 24-year-old man, young and strong, doesn't look like a senior Taoist priest no matter how he looks, so he dressed himself up a little older, smeared some garlic juice on his face, stuck some mustache on the side of his mouth, and made some wrinkles, looking like he was in his 40s.
Now that I've done this on the ship, I look even older.
At the port of Brisbane, he was picked up as soon as he got off the boat, and he didn't have time to visit the exotic scenery.
Then he saw the house of the lord who had come to him, living in a very luxurious western-style house.
Suddenly, he muttered in his heart, this family must be rich, and he must knock more often, which can be regarded as 'robbing the rich and helping the poor (Dao)'.
I was assigned a house, rested for the night, and started the next day.
He found that the head of the family didn't like him very much, as if he didn't believe him at all, and didn't even participate in the ceremony, but the mother of the male owner of the house believed in it very much, and it seemed that the mother of the head of the family was in charge.
After an hour of doing this ritual, he was very 'exhausted', and at the end he secretly drank the blood bag hidden in his sleeve, making it look like he had been injured internally, and took the opportunity to prepare to knock more.
But I don't know how this matter was exposed, it was discovered by the head of the family, and the money he was going to give him was intercepted halfway, leaving only a little money that was not even enough for the road expenses, how did he receive it, and immediately went to the mother of the head of the house, hoping that she could make decisions for herself.
After some rhetoric and intimidation, it actually means that the money was for the evil ghost who blocked the way, and now it has been taken away by your son, and the evil ghost has angered you, and you want to make your family uneasy.
makes trouble between the mother and son, and the relationship is not that the housewife is in charge, but that the head of the family does not want to care.
Now, he is sitting in the car, remorseful in his heart, why should he be greedy, what are he doing here, and now he has been arrested.
The most important thing is that from the mouths of those warriors, he learned that the family he deceived was the owner of this land, the boss of this country, that is, the king of a country.
Hearing this explanation, Zhang Tianbao only felt that there was darkness ahead, and he actually deceived the head of the king of a country, isn't that the old birthday star eating arsenic and looking for death.
Therefore, now I can only hope that he will not remember the villain, and don't worry about him.
But now he is more concerned about how he will be entertained after entering the barracks. (To be continued.) )
