Chapter 8 Ma Zhenren
Of course, Captain Li could see that Zhang Guozhong was not the opponent of the Qing Dynasty Jinshi on Li Daming, but then again, he repeatedly invited so many gentlemen, and none of them had a way, but only Zhang Guozhong analyzed the original situation.
Back home, Captain Li kept comforting Zhang Guozhong, who had a sad face, "Okay, I think about it slowly, it's not a matter if you're so worried, anyway, the second girl of the Li family has already taken a fancy to you, a few years ago, the playground river commune once fought an old way, and now he is still working in the production team, surnamed Ma, you might as well go and find him, he was the one who let the village plant willow trees back then." ”
Hearing Captain Li mention Li Erya again, Zhang Guozhong wanted to die on the spot to show his innocence, but when Captain Li mentioned Ma Lao Dao in the neighboring village, Zhang Guozhong came to the momentum, since Gu Maoshan debuted, this Ma Lao Dao who guided the villagers to plant willow trees, maybe it was the savior!
The next day, Captain Li's second son took Zhang Guozhong to the neighboring village Playground River Village. It turns out that the playground river is the dividing line between Li Village and this village.
* In the criticism, the village to engage, there are landlords to fight, of course, the best, no landlords to fight the rich peasants, no rich peasants to fight the second-rate, there is really not even a second-rate son, just pull out the shroud to fight, anyway, there has to be a fight, in this social atmosphere, two miles away from the playground river village Tongtian Guanma Dao Chang naturally became the main target of the fight, feudal superstition big tumor, a day less to say three times to fight, and go to work.
When Zhang Guozhong saw Ma Daochang, the original imaginary image of the wise man with immortal wind and bones completely collapsed. This horse road chief, with a messy beard, no different from the artemisia grass in the field, his hair is more messy than his beard, he has been felt, his face is as black as charcoal, he is wearing Burmese crotch pants that may not have been washed for more than ten years, and he has a broken tobacco bag and pot in his waist, and he is sitting in the field drinking water.
"Ma Daochang..."Zhang Guozhong stepped forward and called out embarrassedly.
Ma Laodao turned his head vigilantly and looked at this young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, dressed as a young man, "I'm sorry for the people, I'm sorry for the party, I'm guilty." ”
Ma Laodao continued to drink water, kept wiping his face with a sleeve that could basically be used as linoleum, and said coldly.
Captain Li's second son is obviously quite familiar with Ma Laodao, so he came to the front and muttered a few words to Ma Laodao, which was similar to a spy connection. Ma Daochang's face immediately changed from cold to happy, and he came to Zhang Guozhong, looked up and down, and smiled with a wrinkled face.
"Do you see the wreckage on the side of the river in the playground?"
"Well, but the disciple doesn't know how to crack it, so I'm here to ask the Taoist leader."
"How about you being my apprentice?" Ma Daochang didn't hear what he said at all.
Zhang Guozhong's heart was broken again.
The people in this place are really weird, first there was a village chief Li who stubbornly regarded himself as a dancing god who verified the falsity of "Maoshan Tuzhi", and then he pulled himself and Li Erya together, and then a Taoist priest who was not much stronger than calling Huazi came up and wanted to recognize himself as an apprentice, alas, no matter how strange the ghosts in the countryside are, they can't blame this group of unbelievable people.
"Dao Chief, I'm just..."
"Okay, don't say it, Ergui, you talk to your father, just say that this person worships me as a teacher, and let him prepare a table of good wine." After that, Ma Daochang took a breath of air, and actually hummed a little song and lit the cigarette pouch. And Captain Li's second son, Li Ergui, seemed to be very happy when he heard it, and he disappeared without a trace, leaving Zhang Guozhong in the spot. (Captain Li has studied in a private school for a few months, and he is considered a cultural person in the village, and his three sons are called "Li Fugui, Li Ergui, and Li Sangui")
Finding the playground river commune to ask for Ma Lao Dao immediately became the focus of Captain Li's recent work. Ma Laodao is the person who is most qualified for criticism in the playground river village, let him go, who will fight in the future? And as soon as the work team in the town left, the feudal superstitious cow ghost and snake god was released, how will the work team come back in the future? The Playground River Commune is resolutely not letting people go.
Captain Li is the cousin of Captain Liu of the playground Hecun Production Brigade, but the two usually have no contact, in order to bring Ma Zhenren over, Captain Li lifted out the cousin who couldn't beat the eight poles, and finally took a smile with a smile, and replaced Ma Zhenren with 30 yuan with a livestock (there were few livestock in the production team at that time, and in the countryside where farming is the mainstay, livestock is worth more than people) to replace Ma Zhenren, and Captain Li was so distressed that he almost jumped into the well and committed suicide.
After listening to Captain Li after drinking a pound of liquor, he added fuel and vinegar to describe how Zhang Guozhong fought and collided with customers, and how he wittily analyzed the ground by the playground river, and he simply loved his apprentice. In this era of sports everywhere and smashing everything ideologically, being able to receive such a gifted apprentice can be regarded as a Taoist disciple who should not be extinguished.
After apprenticing in a daze, Zhang Guozhong learned that Ma Daochang was already 102 years old, but in Zhang Guozhong's opinion, he was only in his 60s at most, and he could still work in the field, how could this be a centenarian? Regarding Ma Daochang's statement about his age, Zhang Guozhong will always be skeptical. Of course, the first thing Zhang Guozhong did was to show Ma Daochang "Maoshan Illustrated Chronicles", but he didn't expect Ma Daochang to jokingly say "child's play... Child's play..."
It turns out that this Ma Daochang is the descendant of the Taoist master Ma Danyang during the Jintianhui period, although the Ma Danyang master is only the "Quanzhen" head of the teaching, but the Ma Daochang in front of him, no, it should be said that it is Ma Zhenren, but he is proficient in the essence of the various Taoist schools such as Sutu, Mai, Zhongge, Quanzhen, Maoshan, etc., Zhang Guozhong's hand This "Maoshan Atlas", in Ma Daochang's view, is only a vernacular book in the late Qing Dynasty, only on the identification and solution of some simple phenomena are illustrated, but there is no explanation of the "heart technique" of Maoshan technique.
"Mind technique" is the essence of Maoshan technique, which is a method to stimulate some of the degraded instincts of the human body, and use it to cure monsters and drive away evil spirits. Just knowing how to draw talismans and make up materials is simply too rudimentary for the broad and profound Maoshan technique, and some imps and monsters who are not in the climate may be cured, but there is no way to do anything about such a powerful thing as Li Daming.
In fact, Ma Zhenren has also heard about Li Daming in Li Village, but at this time* has begun, even the Taoist temple has been burned by people, and he is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, how can he still have the ability to manage others? Li Village and Playground River Village are only a few miles apart, but Captain Liu of the production team of Playground River Commune is a stunned young man in his early thirties, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he is the opposite of Captain Li in the next village, and Ma Zhenren should have fallen into his hands unfortunately.
Ma Zhenren took Zhang Guozhong to a clearing not far from Tongtianguan, and dug out the "Quanzhen Thirty-six Laws General Interpretation" that Ma Zhenren had hidden and a "Maoshan Shuzhi" that looked much older than "Maoshan Tuzhi", as well as several medical books and a compass. Among them, "The Interpretation of the Thirty-six Laws of Quanzhen" is completely a strange posture like acrobatics in Zhang Guozhong's eyes, and what the ancient "Maoshan Shuzhi" describes are some bizarre theories that Zhang Guozhong has never heard of in "Maoshan Tuzhi".
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the war was continuous, the corpses were all over the field, thousands of miles of grievances and ghosts weeping, and it was this special historical background that created the prosperity of Maoshan Taoism, this "Maoshan Shuzhi", is the handwritten book of the Ming Yongle Year, which has been well preserved so far, and is the treasure of Ma Zhenren's family heirloom.
