28. Zhang Xiu
"Got it checked? Where the hell did that guy come from? ”
A person stood quietly in front of the window, silently looking out the window at the bamboo forest in the night illuminated by the bright moonlight, in front of the window where the candlelight could only pass a little faint light, most of the man's body was shrouded in the silent moonlight, quite fluttering, a sense of independence.
However, when the man turned his face sideways to ask, the orange candlelight shone on his side face, his face was half holy and half demonic, staring at the man behind him with orange candle flames dancing in his eyes, with a slightly depressed and cold question, so that the man at this moment was not proud and independent just now, and became so strange and weird.
"Check... Check it out. ”
The man behind the man replied with a wince, not even daring to look at the man in front of him.
Although the man's courage is not small, and it is not a contact with the man in front of him at one time, he is still frightened at the moment. The person in front of him is not an ordinary character, as the most powerful and prestigious witch doctor in Hanzhong, the man has the ability of ghosts and gods, and through so many previous examples, it has been proved that this person is really extraordinary. And now it is obvious that the man in front of him is suppressing his anger, making the usually gentle man become so bewitching, with the slightly weird scene now, the man feels that even if he has been following him, he is so strange at the moment.
If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't explained what he had told himself, the man would have been eager to stay away from the man he was now, but at this moment he had to continue to stay here.
"Goo!" The man swallowed hard, steadied his legs, which were trembling with fear, and continued.
"The children of the Liu family in Liu Lanba County, although they were very smart when they were young, they didn't have anything special to say, and they didn't have any special skills."
But a few months ago, this guy suddenly preached to people that he had been taught by gods at night and had the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods, but not many people believed him. It wasn't until he later treated a passerby who was said to be haunted by evil spirits that his fame spread. ”
And this demon-haunted man has been found, and indeed he is a real person. According to his neighbors, this man had also been sick before, and the villagers rarely interacted with him for fear of bad luck. However, I heard that this person had asked your master to help exorcise evil spirits before, but it didn't work. ”
"And this time, after Liu Lan's treatment, he got some medicine from Liu, and after acting according to Liu Lan's instructions, he has not relapsed again until now."
At this point, the man stopped and quietly looked up to observe his master's movements.
"What? Are you saying I'm not as good as that Liu Lan? ”
Hearing the man behind him say this, the man who had been exuding a gloomy aura but could still maintain his calm couldn't continue to calm down at all, and turned around and questioned his apprentice with a hideous face.
The man, who was already a little frightened, didn't expect that the master, who had always shown a smiling face, was really angry, and he was so angry, looking at the eyes and angry face that reflected the flickering candle in front of him, the man's mind was blank in an instant, and he immediately knelt down with weak legs, and muttered a defense.
"No, master, that's not what I meant."
The man looked at the panicked apprentice in front of him and knew that he was a little out of shape today, but looking at his disciple who was so unbearable, the man couldn't help but snort coldly, and then don't look away.
I really don't know what I liked about this guy at that time, so I would accept such a good thing. Then his face returned to his previous Zhongzheng peace, and then he said proudly.
"That guy did all the evil things in his previous life, so he will have the suffering of evil ghosts in this life, although I have the ability to reach the sky, but after all, I can't act against the sky and relieve his bad luck. However, that Liu Lan actually had the means to cure him, which shows that this person also has some real skills. ”
"Get up, go on."
"Okay, okay, thank you master."
The man got the man's permission, and hurriedly stood up again, not caring about the dust on his clothes, and hurriedly stood respectfully and continued.
"That Liu Lan does have a little means, but it is far from being as good as you, master."
However, this fart slapped the horse's leg, and the man not only did not have the slightest intention of enjoyment, but blamed him for glaring at him vigorously.
was glared at by his master, the man's heart trembled again, and the man who knew that he was speechless also knew that he shouldn't say these nonsense, and hurriedly remedied.
"Master, that Liu Lan has been famous since this incident, and later he also showed the means of empty-handed summoning fire and killing ghosts and blood, and those villagers in Ba County were actually deceived by him like this, I really thought that guy had magical powers."
"If that's all it takes, that guy won't be able to make a climate, so there's nothing to worry about. However, this guy is actually a master of the classics, and often talks about metaphysics with others, and the celebrities and scholars of Ba County admire and respect him very much. ”
And several senior brothers in Ba County took the initiative to come to the door to debate the classics with him because they couldn't get used to him, but they all failed. Now this guy is constantly pretending to be a good person in Ba County, practicing medicine everywhere and delivering medicine, and he doesn't need to be paid, as long as others do a good deed, no matter how big or small. ”
"Master, now the whole Bajun is talking about that Liu Lan, and what you did for them before has been forgotten by them, master, that Liu Lan is digging your foundation."
"Get out, I have my own share in this matter, when will it be your turn to talk more!"
When the man heard the man say this, he immediately drove his mouthy apprentice out in disgust, and then stood alone in front of the window again, and fell into deep thought in the moonlight.
This person is naturally Zhang Xiu, the founder of the "Five Bucket Rice Sect" who is in Hanzhong at the moment.
Long before Liu Lan brushed his fame in Ba County, Zhang Xiu began to carry out missionary activities in Ba County to help people see a doctor and only charge five buckets of rice, with his superb medical skills, soon Zhang Xiu had his first batch of believers, and with the passage of time, Zhang Xiu's perseverance, Zhang Xiu soon became the head of the Yizhou Yizhou sect.
As early as a few years ago, Zhang Xiu, who had laid a deep foundation in Ba County, came to Hanzhong to develop his new believers when he saw that he could not get further development in Ba County, but he did not lightly preach to Ba County, after all, it was his birthplace and his birthplace, so Zhang Xiu sent his proud disciples to garrison Ba County, and he went to Hanzhong to develop a new territory with confidence.
However, what I didn't expect was that a few months ago, I suddenly got the news that my old nest Ba County was copied by a hairy boy, this hairy boy Liu Lan was born, first using the gimmick of "God Grants Heavenly Books" to attract attention, and then used some unsavory means to make people believe that he really has magical powers. Then he actually followed his example, practiced medicine and medicine, gathered the hearts of the people, and in just a few months, he shook his rule in Ba County.
And his proud disciple watched the other party rise in Bajun almost without any power to fight back, shaking his foundation. If that's all it takes, no matter what, he won't be able to clear his power in Ba County.
However, the other party is still a child of the Liu family, who was once raised to filial piety and refused to be recruited by Changshi, and the Qingliu celebrities in Ba County all respected him very much, and he was far more open than Zhang Xiu in the upper class. And these are almost all lacking in themselves, if one day in the future, the other party uses the government to deal with him, he has almost no counterpower.
And if it is allowed to develop like this, he will raise troops here, and then respond to Zhang Jiao and them, and it will almost become empty talk to overthrow the Han Dynasty together, and his hard work in the past few years will be in vain.
Although it is not impossible to raise troops in Hanzhong, but if there is no Ba County, there is no way to retreat, and his power in Hanzhong is far less than that of Ba County, which has been operating.
Therefore, Ba County is his top priority, but now in this situation, he will have to rush back to Ba County to win people's hearts, no matter what, he can't let this Liu Lan develop like this, and it seems that only by taking action himself can he have a chance to reverse the situation.
