Chapter 136: Searching for Someone to No Avail
Zhang Jue? What will be the relationship between him and Zhang Jiao? Or is this person Zhang Jiao's pseudonym at all?
But in that case, why did he deny his relationship with Taiping Dao? In the current situation, shouldn't the more you can start the fame of the great sages and the Taiping Dao, the better? After all, this is the only way to get the full support of the people. What's more, this person even denied the relationship with Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.
The next day, Zhang Huang, led by Li Tong and others, went to find the strange man who was called a great sage and good teacher by the local people, but claimed to be Zhang Jue instead of Zhang Jiao. On the way, Zhang Huang pondered the strangeness of Zhang Jue more than once, and he faintly felt that Zhang Jue's denial that he was a Taiping Daoist might be related to Zhang Liang's words? But the question is, how to explain Zhang Bao's ramming words?
Can't figure it out......
Thinking about this matter in his mind, Zhang Huang followed Li Tong and others all the way to the southwest of Julu County. As the location becomes more and more remote, the surrounding buildings are also more and more desolate, which is not surprising, the so-called people's residence in the county is actually just a mud wall and grass hut that is difficult to block the wind and rain, even if it is an ordinary person can punch a hole in this mud wall, let alone Zhang Huang and others.
"That Zhang Yong...... Right here? ”
Zhang Huang turned back to his brothers and asked.
"Yes, I met that person here last time, so I shouldn't be too far away. …… Ask the people in the neighborhood. Xu Fu said looking left and right.
Zhang Huang nodded when he heard this, and happened to meet an old man with a cane, so he asked, "Old man, is there a person named Zhang Jue in the vicinity?" ”
The old man in the gray cloth robe looked quite energetic, and after hearing Zhang Huang's question, he glanced at him, and asked rhetorically while thinking, "Who is that?" ”
"Huh?" Zhang Huang couldn't help but speak. The heart says, "Do I ask you or do you ask me?" After thinking about it, he suddenly had an idea and corrected, "The kid heard that there is a hermit near here who claims to be Zhang Jue, who will use Dao talismans to cure people like the immortal chief of Taiping Dao...... People in the neighborhood called him the Great Teacher. ”
As soon as the words "Great Sage and Good Master" were mentioned, the old man's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled with relief, "So you are talking about that living immortal...... It turned out that the living immortal's surname was Zhang. The second half of the sentence is the old man's own muttering to himself, and it seems that he doesn't know Zhang Jue's surname.
"......" the corners of Zhang Huang's mouth twitched slightly. Reluctantly, he asked with a smile, "Does the old man know where that immortal chief is right now?" A few of us came here this time......"
"Yes, yes." The old man pointed to a house not far away with his crutches, and said with a smile, "I'm treating the eldest lady of the Li family, and the old man has just come out of his house." …… Speaking of which, the life of the eldest lady of the Li family is really bumpy, her husband died of illness less than three years after marrying into her husband's family, she is a father and a mother to raise her two sons to adulthood, and the two sons are getting married and starting a business, and the day of happiness is coming. Suddenly, half of his body was paralyzed, alas......"
The corners of Zhang Huang's mouth tugged, and his heart said I asked you where Zhang Jue is, and you can tell you directly where is it. What are you doing with me about so much of that Li family's aunt?
Seeing that the old man smacked his lips and continued to speak, the corners of Zhang Huang's eyes twitched a few times, and he quickly interrupted the old man's words and thanked, "Thank you, old man." Thank you to the old man, the boys still have important things to do, so they won't bother the old people. He said. He repeatedly urged Li Tong and the others to leave.
Thinking about it, Li Tong and the others were also frightened by the old man's talkativeness, and barely squeezed out a few smiles and hurriedly followed Zhang Huang.
What Zhang Huang and the others never expected was that after they left, the old man looked at Zhang Huang's back deeply, but a trace of an unfathomable smile appeared on his face, and in the time he turned around, he transformed into a middle-aged man in his thirties. Looking closely at this person's face, it is exactly the same as the arrest warrant for Zhang Jiao on the government's wanted list.
At this time, Zhang Huang and the others had already come to the Li family's residence. Standing outside the fence and glancing, Zhang Huang saw two sturdy young men busy in the yard, one chopping wood and the other washing fish, with smiles on their faces. If nothing else, these two are the two sons of the Li family's aunt.
"Big brother, two big brothers." Zhang Huang said hello outside.
As soon as the two sons of the Li family looked up, they saw Zhang Huang and others standing outside the courtyard, because the folk customs of this era were simple, they didn't think about anything else, but put down the work in their hands and greeted them politely.
"What's the matter with the little brothers?" Aunt Li's eldest son asked first.
"My name is Zhang Huang, and these people are my companions. took the liberty of harassing the two eldest brothers...... I don't know if Immortal Master Zhang is in your place? He is a great teacher. ”
"Great sage and good teacher." Aunt Li's youngest son's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a fanatical admiration, "The great virtuous teacher is worthy of being a great virtuous and good teacher, a medicine talisman is given, and our old lady's stubborn illness for many years will be cured immediately, she is really a living immortal!" ”
"Not really!" Aunt Li's eldest son also nodded in agreement with joy on his face.
[Again......]
Listening to the Li family's youngest son chattering and praising Zhang Jue, Zhang Huang couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and finally grabbed a gap and took the opportunity to interrupt, "Two, two, I don't know if that living immortal is still in your place now?" ”
The two brothers of the Li family, who were praising the living immortal again and again, were stunned when they heard this, and after half a ring, the eldest son of the Li family said with a strange expression, "That living immortal just left, haven't you met?" ”
"I haven't touched it." Zhang Huang said inexplicably.
"This shouldn't be...... the youngest son of the Li family poked his head out, and said in surprise, "After the living immortal said goodbye, the little brothers came, shouldn't they have not met...... You're from East Street? ”
"That's right."
"It's strange, the living immortals are walking towards the east street......"
Zhang Huang and the others were stunned when they said this, because they had just walked all the way, in fact, there were not many people coming and going on this street, if Zhang Huang really met Zhang Huang and the others head-on, Zhang Huang and the others would definitely be able to recognize it. But in fact, don't talk about Zhang Jue, Zhang Huang and the others only met an old man along the way.
[Old man?] …… Wait. ]
Faintly feeling that something was wrong, Zhang Huang raised his head and asked, "Two big brothers, just ...... Did an old man come and knock on the door? He looked to be about fifty years old, dressed in gray cloth and on crutches......"
"Didn't you?" The eldest son of the Li family asked his younger brother in surprise.
"Nope." The youngest son of the Li family shook his head affirmatively.
[Goodfellas......]
His face froze. Zhang Huang reluctantly smiled and said goodbye to the Li brothers, the matter has come to this point, and he has figured it out.
"Tricked ......"
Looking back at the brothers who were still a little dazed, Zhang Huang gritted his teeth and said, "The old man just now is the Zhang Jue we are looking for!" ”
"Won't it?" Tai Shi Ci was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "But he doesn't look like it at all?" ”
"That's right." Zang Ba also frowned and agreed, "Are you mistaken, boss?" We've all seen that Zhang Jiao, and he looks exactly like Zhang Jiao. It's not like that at all. ”
"Zhang Jue knows Taoism!" Zhang Huang's bloody words blocked the mouths of the brothers.
After a long time, Xu Fu asked hesitantly, "Illusion?" ”
"Hmm." Zhang Huang nodded.
"But we've seen him a few days ago...... Why didn't he avoid it at the time? Li Tong asked puzzled.
Zhang Huang was silent when he heard this, because he had some understanding in his heart, and maybe the reason was on him.
That Zhang ...... Don't want to see him!
I have to say that the black feather crows are not stupid masters, and after thinking about it for a while, they came up with answers one after another, and looked at their black feather crow boss Zhang Huang with a surprised expression. It's just that it doesn't say it explicitly.
"Boss, what now?" Chen Zhi asked.
"Whew!" With a long exhale, Zhang Huang slowly shook his head.
"By the way, how did he know we were going to find him?" Tai Shi Ci asked the brothers curiously.
"......" Zhang Huang was silent when he heard this. casually listened to the casual speculation of the brothers, but in his heart, the figure of a big man suddenly appeared.
The national teacher of the Han Dynasty, the fifth palace yuan!
I remember that Zhang Huang had just arrived in Luoyang. When Yuan Shu Yuan Highway of the Yuan family of the clan formed a relationship, the Fifth Gong Yuan sent someone to pass on the Wei Wei Qing of the Wei Wei Temple, and it was before Zhang Huang had any conflict with Yuan Shu that Wei Wei Qing was notified. What does this mean? This means that the fifth house element has the ability to be a prophet of the unknown.
It was precisely because of the existence of the Fifth Gong Yuan, a half-human, half-immortal figure in Zhang Huang's heart, that Zhang Huang was not shocked at all by the fact that Zhang Jue was able to predict that he was going to find him and use illusion to change his appearance in advance to avoid it. He just wondered, wondering why Zhang Jue didn't see him.
But then again, the more Zhang Huang didn't want to see him, the more Zhang Huang wanted to find him, because Zhang Huang had a vague premonition that maybe Zhang Huang was the key to solving the mystery in his heart.
"Looking, going door-to-door. …… Since that Zhang Jue is bent on treating the people suffering from illness, then let's start from this path, I don't believe that we can't find him! ”
"Hmm!" There is no need to elaborate among the brothers, seeing that Zhang Huang is bent on finding Zhang Jue, the black feather crows will naturally do their best to help.
As a result, a search operation like looking for a needle in a haystack began, and six people split up to find the whereabouts of Zhang Jue.
But that Zhang Jue really didn't seem to want to see Zhang Huang, and he had been playing hide and seek with them for a few days, relying on his magic technique, and the black feather crows didn't find the slightest clue. Every time, they just rushed to the patient's home, and they were surprised to tell them that Zhang Jue had just left, and asked Zhang Huang and the others why they hadn't seen it? Zhang Huang and the others were so angry that they were so depressed that they almost vomited blood.
After dozens of times in a row, not to mention that Zhang Huang was aroused, even Li Tong and others were full of indignation, and they secretly made up their minds that they had to find Zhang Jue.
But the problem is that Zhang Jue can use the illusion technique every time to make Zhang Huang and others miss him, how can he make Zhang Jue obediently obey?
At this time, Xu Fu suddenly said, "At this time, it is better to look for a needle in a haystack than to wait for a rabbit!" …… Let's find a terminally ill patient and declare to the outside world that this disease cannot be cured by Zhang Jue. Don't go looking for that Zhang Jue, let's just guard there, not afraid that he won't come! ”
Zhang Huang and the others were stunned, and then they laughed.
I have to say that Xu Fu's idea is indeed good, but it is a little damaged, and I don't know if that Zhang Jue is fooled. (To be continued......)
