31. Cooperation

"Master?"

As soon as Liu Lan went out, Zhang Xiu's disciples, who had been guarding outside and not knowing the situation, hurriedly broke in.

However, as soon as I came in, I saw Zhang Xiu sitting in place a little distracted, is this the master defeated? At that time, Zhang Xiu's henchmen and disciples were all red.

"I went to him, but it was too much of a deception." Immediately, a few anxious disciples said that they wanted to stand with Liu Lan and wanted to go to Liu Lan to avenge their master.

The disciples who got Zhang Xiu's order naturally did not dare to approach the living room easily, but they were still anxious to watch from the sidelines, although they didn't know what was going on, but Liu Lan's final unceremonious loud announcement made them hear it, and when they saw Liu Lan leaving, they rushed into the living room impatiently, and when they saw their master sitting there in a distraction, they didn't notice themselves and the others at all.

When did they see the master like this, and they knew the result in their hearts, but Liu Lan also deceived people too much, and hit the master like this, and even threatened before leaving, saying that he wanted the master to come to the door to ask for guilt?

"Huh?"

Zhang Xiu, who was still thinking about what Liu Lan meant, was suddenly interrupted by a chaotic voice in his ears, and looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, Zhang Xiu couldn't help frowning.

"What are you yelling about?"

Zhang Xiu, who was interrupted from thinking, looked very irritable.

"Master, then Liu Lan is too deceitful, let's go and seek justice for you."

"Liu Lan, what did he do again?"

The disciple's answer made Zhang Xiu feel very puzzled, could it be that Liu Lan did something to his apprentice when he left to make his apprentice so angry?

"Master, isn't he going to humiliate you after he defeats you?"

A disciple felt that the situation was a little wrong, and asked cautiously.

"What are you talking nonsense? Then Liu Lan was just discussing things with me, and there was no situation like you thought. ”

Zhang Xiu's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, no wonder they all had such expressions, didn't they all have a little confidence in me? Don't say that I haven't lost, even if I lose, it's not your turn to comfort me, am I the kind of person who hasn't experienced storms?

"You're all gone, don't bother me anymore."

Zhang Xiu, who was already annoyed because he couldn't figure out what Liu Lan meant in the end, became even more irritable when he thought of this, not only could this group of guys not help, but now they came to make trouble, but now Zhang Xiu obviously didn't have the mood to take care of his apprentice, and sent his apprentice out a little impatiently.

Following.

Zhang Xiu, who had been thinking hard all night but couldn't get a clue, asked his apprentice to take him to Liu Lan's mansion early in the morning with the eyes of the two pandas.

Zhang Xiu, who was immersed in his own thinking along the way, didn't notice that his disciple was secretly sad because of his slightly haggard face, and the resentment towards Liu Lan in his heart deepened.

Although he was looking forward to Zhang Xiu's arrival early in the morning, Liu Lan, who had long concluded that Zhang Xiu would not be able to sit still, deliberately snubbed Zhang Xiu for a long time before going out to meet Zhang Xiu after receiving the advice of his subordinates. And this is to let Zhang Xiu understand today's situation and let him not think about anything wrong.

"I'm sorry, I slept too late yesterday and accidentally got up late, but I didn't expect Brother Dao to come over so early, it seems that Brother Dao is really anxious."

Liu Lan entered the door and saw that although Zhang Xiu could still maintain his bearing, he saw that his movements were more human fireworks than before, and the disciples behind Zhang Xiu stared at Liu Lan fiercely, eager to pounce on him and eat him, Liu Lan smiled lightly and completely ignored the angry eyes and greeted.

"It's still a good skill for Taoist friends, and I had to take the initiative to enter the set in a few words yesterday, a good means!"

Seeing Liu Lan's expression, even if Zhang Xiu paid attention to Liu Lan's previous words, he could see through Liu Lan's plan at this moment, but he was already in a cage at the moment, so he had to do it, so he said coldly and sarcastically.

"That's no way, I took the initiative to come to the door yesterday, I don't want Brother Dao to refuse people thousands of miles away, there is no way, I am a relatively small person, so I can only ask Daoyou to take the initiative to come to me."

Liu Lan knew that yesterday's methods couldn't hide from Zhang Xiu for long, so she happily admitted it.

"What are you? Dare to say wildly, my master is a hundred times better than you, how can I ask you? ”

Immediately, some disciples couldn't get used to Liu Lan's attitude, and opened their mouths to reprimand loudly.

Although it was in her own home, Liu Lan still didn't seem to hear it, and still looked at Zhang Xiu with a smile on her face.

Zhang Xiu looked at Liu Lan's expression and knew that he had already made a bad move, and since it was irretrievable, he would no longer try, waved his hand to shut up the disciples who were still chattering and left, and then spoke.

"Okay, I've already taken the initiative to come, I guess you have also seen my sincerity, so let's stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point."

"Okay, I'll get straight to the point."

Hearing this, Liu Lan put down the tea in her hand and applauded. That's fine, anyway, there is not so much time to slowly intrigue with this Zhang Xiu, as long as he cooperates with Zhang Xiu, the rest can be said slowly, and after yesterday's foreshadowing, Liu Lan also feels that he has a greater grasp of persuading Zhang Xiu today.

"If I'm not mistaken, after Brother Dao knew yesterday that I was going to find you to build a Protestant church, he planned to leave me alone to do it."

Anyway, when you open your mouth, you have to seize a dominant position, so as soon as Liu Lan opened her mouth, she pointed out Zhang Xiu's thoughts yesterday, and looked at Zhang Xiu with a smile on her face.

"Daoyou are too worried, yesterday I really had other concerns before I rejected Daoyou, and I hope that Daoyou will not spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Although his mind was seen through by Liu Lan, who was Zhang Xiu, this little thing couldn't startle him at all, but opened his mouth to hit a rake.

"Alright then, let's leave this matter uncovered."

Liu Lan said that these are just to take the initiative, but this kind of thing that everyone knows is enough to mention, and it doesn't necessarily have to be clear, so he took the initiative to open his mouth and go through this article.

"Brother Dao came here today, presumably he and I are also in the same way, but I don't know what preparations you have made for the establishment of Protestantism?"

Zhang Xiu didn't say anything when he heard this, he just looked at Liu Lan coldly and waited for the following.

Liu Lan saw that Zhang Xiu didn't speak and was not angry, so she laughed and continued to talk to herself.

Huang Laozhi said that he was prosperous with the Warring States and flourished in the Han Dynasty, but after Emperor Wu deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism, Huang Laozhi's theory was completely decayed and split. And now Sanfu has Luo Yao, Dongfang has Zhang Jiao, and Brother Dao, you live alone in Hanzhong, I don't know how Brother Dao you can unify this situation and establish Protestantism? ”

Zhang Xiu originally planned to use force to enforce his morality after raising troops, but of course he couldn't tell Liu Lan about this kind of thing, so he was still silent to see what Liu Lan had to say, if Liu Lan only had these dry goods, then he could leave.

"There are undoubtedly only two ways to solve this situation, one is to subdue them by force, and the other is to defeat them in the scriptures. If you want to raise troops, I am afraid that you will not be able to get out of Hanzhong if you have Yin Jian and Su Gu. ”

"As for the rest, Luo Yao has a hiding method, Zhang Jiao preached the Taiping Dao, and if you want to subdue them with a small favor of five buckets of rice, I'm afraid it's impossible."

Seeing Liu Lan belittle himself like this, Zhang Xiu was a little annoyed, but he still restrained himself and asked coldly.

"I don't know what you think?"

"I don't have a high opinion, but fortunately, I have a god and a man to give me the law."

Liu Lan seems to be addicted to pretending to be a god and a ghost, and everything is inseparable from a god, for fear that others will not remember what he said that he once received a book from God. Liu Lan pretended to say as she handed the book set that had been prepared a long time ago to Zhang Xiu.

"Lao Tzu wants to note"? What is it? Is this what you call the Book of Heaven? ”

Zhang Xiu took it and asked while flipping through it, but he was quickly attracted by the book, and he couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.

Through some deletions and annotations, this "Lao Tzu Xiang'er Note" transformed the philosophical masterpiece "Tao Te Ching" into a Taoist classic, so that Taoists have their own beliefs - Taishang Laojun. And other Taoist commandments and the method of immortality are also alluded to the current Taoist thoughts, which is clearly a Taoist classic, enough to open the mountain and establish a magnificent masterpiece, and the most important thing is that this book has many places that implicitly coincide with their own ideas, which is clearly tailored for themselves and the "Five Buckets of Rice Sect".

No wonder Liu Lan was so calm before, it seems that he is really prepared. With this "Lao Tzu Xiang'er Note", his "Five Buckets of Rice Sect" is no longer a source of water and a tree without roots, which is clearly his eternal foundation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu couldn't maintain his calm anymore, closed the book and hugged it tightly in his arms, and asked in disbelief.

"This is your book?"

"Didn't I say it, it's God-man."

Liu Lan will not admit that this is his own handwriting, how can he write it with a more halo bonus from God.

"No wonder you asked me to cooperate, this is clearly tailor-made for my 'Five Bucket Rice Sect'."

Zhang Xiu took a closer look at Liu Lan again, he also felt that Liu Lan couldn't write such a huge book at his age, could it really be a gods, and then handed it over to me by his hand?

"Don't think too much, this is indeed for me, but I want to practice, I can't be distracted by this kind of miscellaneous things, so I asked you to cooperate, if you are not happy, then I will reluctantly act on my own, I think the government and the opposition are probably also happy to see me, a child of the Liu family, replace you and confuse the demons."

Seeing that Zhang Xiu was distracted again, Liu Lan knew that this guy must be thinking about it again, who made this book come up with him in the future, if he didn't have a little doubt, it would be strange. So Liu Lan did not hesitate to interrupt Zhang Xiu's delusions, and then revealed that he had "no ambition" while not forgetting to threaten him again.

If Zhang Xiu could still resist the temptation to reject Liu Lan before, then this "Lao Tzu Xiang'er Note" is undoubtedly the last weight that determines the outcome of the game. With this book, he can really start a sect, no matter who wins or loses in the Yellow Turban Thief and the Han Army in the future, he has the capital to continue to divide one side, presumably these, taking advantage of the chaos to attack Yizhou is not so important, then the contradiction between himself and Liu Lan has undoubtedly eased a lot, so there is no problem in agreeing to him.

While Zhang Xiu was thinking, Liu Lan sat quietly and looked at him, now, there is no need for Liu Lan to add fuel and vinegar, Liu Lan has already done all the things, if Zhang Xiu still doesn't agree, then he really has to turn his face and consider making a comeback, fortunately, there is still time now, even if he starts again, he will not fall too far behind.

Zhang Xiu raised his head that had been contemplative, looked at Liu Lan, who pretended to be very indifferent, and smiled slightly.

"Senior brother, you and I will have to support each other in the future."
