Chapter 51: Knowing the Lost Spirit

Baozi got up and bowed to Xiao Yu, "It turned out to be the general of Song Wang Xiaoyu enshrined in the Lingyan Pavilion of Tang Wang, please accept my worship."

Xiao Yu put down the book, "Look, I haven't followed these red tapes for a long time, and you, a good boy in the new era, are still doing this?" Have a seat. ”

Baozi sat down, Xiao Yu finally put down the book, and stretched his waist, "I heard about your prestige, have you been playing very majesticly in Luding Mountain recently?" ”

Baozi is a little proud, but he still maintains a little modesty, "Compared with the general's exploits, it is not a little bit worse." ”

Xiao Yu looked at the bun and praised it with some reservations, "I have lived alone here for so many years, and there are many people who come to visit, only you can honestly do what I say, and you are also the first person to sit in front of me." ”

Baozi secretly thought that Zhu Yan must have also come, and it was estimated that he was angry with this old man. Xiao Yu is an unpredictable prophet, and he can see through people's stomachs and intestines, and said, "You want to say Zhu Yan, right, he ran away at the first level, and he didn't enter the door, and then he made a feud with me." ”

Baozi handed over "Zhu Yan, he is corrupt and perverts the law, careless of human life....."

Xiao Yu waved her hand, "Hey, don't talk about it, don't talk about it." I don't have a Confucianism here to talk and laugh, but don't delay the reading of the Golden Sutra by the tune of the piano, you just don't talk about the affairs of the layman. I only asked the general, what is the next step? ”

Baozi replied, "The red dragon was born, the ghosts were rampant, the hanging dragon died, and the feng shui of Luding Mountain was declining. ”

Xiao Yu smiled, "What else?" ”

The bun is a little cloudy, what else?

Xiao Yu asked, "What does the red dragon look like, how does it behave, and what kind of mana does it have?" ”

Baozi can only say truthfully, "I haven't fought yet." ”

Xiao Yu asked, "You gathered the Luding Mountain Immortal Class as a soldier and horse, how to lead, how to fight, and when to fight?" Who is the main general, who is the partial general, the setting of troops, the setting of reserves, the attack formation, the guarantee of supplies, how to win, how to lose? ”

Faced with a series of questions, Baozi was even more embarrassed, "I can only prepare for the battle and try my best to win." If you lose, it's a big deal to die and die for the country. ”

Xiao Yu smiled slightly, "Hey, it's news time, let's watch TV first." The boy ran over, turned on the brick TV, adjusted the central one, and moved a small bench to sit down obediently, and the cabbage seemed to be familiar with him, so he ignored the existence of the bun and sat down side by side with the boy to watch.

"Hello audience friends, today is Friday, October 26, 1984, the third day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, welcome to watch the news program, today's main content is that the third plenary meeting of the Central Advisory Committee closed in Beijing. The principal leaders made important speeches at the meeting, spoke highly of the decision on the reform of the economic system, and once again expounded the general policy of "one country, two systems" to resolve the Hong Kong and Taiwan issues. At the forum of the Central Military Commission, principal leaders stressed that the armed forces should obey the general principle of economic construction and vigorously support and support the ....... of national economic construction."

"The gods are on mission, may I ask what these countries are, what do you think?" Xiao Yu asked as she watched.

Baozi was obviously unprepared for these problems, and he perfunctorily said, "Now the focus has changed to economic construction, the army is facing large-scale reduction, and the million-strong army is professionally supporting the locality." ”

"What is the relationship between the kingdom of the human race and the major affairs of the immortal family?"

"The rise and fall of the human race is related to the rise and fall of the immortal family." Baozi hurriedly replied

"So how are the grades of immortals divided?"

"Immortals are divided into five grades, heavenly immortals, immortals, earth immortals, human immortals and ghost immortals"

"Where's the division?"

"Well", the bun was blinded by a series of irrelevant questions, "It's based on the origin." ”

"Hmm" Xiao Yu stroked his beard and listened, nodding slightly, "Immortals are indeed divided into five grades, those who have attained the Tao of Heaven are immortals, and the immortals themselves are Taoists and teachers, and the other fourth-class immortals are students. And the way of heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death. Immortals seem to be divided by origin, but they are actually divided according to the level of the question. The road moves forward according to its own laws, and the road is now estimated to have a hundred years of peace, and it is no longer the era of dancing swords and swords and seizing the mountain. Even if the red dragon wants to make trouble, it is also a dark Chen Cang, moving with the times, and it will not easily confront the Dao. In the future, won't the sergeants you raise be idle for a long time? ”

"Listen to the teachings!" Baozi heard the old man's deep meaning.

"There is no teaching." The old man's eyes do not take off the TV, "Although it is a top priority to rectify the order of Luding Mountain, it should not be excessive; Although it is imperative to raise soldiers and practice martial arts, it is necessary to know that soldiers are refined rather than numerous. Your soldiers only need to be able to deter the order of Luding Mountain. ”

"There is a ghost named Miko, I suspect that she has been trying in vain to assist the red dragon in making trouble" Baozi admired Xiao Yu who knew the world without leaving home and relied on watching TV and reading.

"That thing, don't worry, she can't delay the operation of the Dao," Xiao Yu said, "Eradicating the red dragon is the right way to help Kuang." ”

"What do you think of the effect of disposing of Zhu Yan?" Xiao Yu continued to ask.

Baozi knew that Zhu Yan Lao'er had treated Xiao Yu harshly in every way, so he said loudly, "I killed the centipede essence for the righteousness and belittled Zhu Yan to the sinkhole, but at the same time, I thought it was correct and I would be supported by all kinds of immortals." ”

Cabbage Flower also interjected, "That's right, the news came back, and even Lao Huang, Lao Bai, and Lao Hu Chengtian took care of his old fairies, and they all felt that the buns were really powerful, and they praised them every day." ”

Xiao Yu still didn't leave the TV content, took a sip of tea and said, "Zhu Yannai was a person from the Wei and Jin dynasties, a famous person in Jiangnan at that time, and his reputation was not inferior to that of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest." This person is affected by the wind of the times, good at eloquence and empty talk, proficient in metaphysics, not good at governing the country, and greedy for money and good reputation, especially like to meet the horse, so he is limited to small interests and loses great righteousness, uses small plans and loses big plans, is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, is fierce and timid, and is not a person who has achieved great things. Treat a person who can't achieve great things as an opponent, and make a heavy hand, I'm afraid it will damage your prestige. It's also not good for your control of trusting the river god. ”

"No, no, Zhu Wu understands the righteousness, I see it very clearly!" Bun busy explaining.

"Alas, the Buddha is not exempt from the world, and the world is calling?" Xiao Yu finally glanced at the bun, "You kid, it's just right to kill the old centipede." At that time, you get up and go back to Dafang Town, and it will be perfect. But on the first day of your tenure, you belittled the former river god, which made the immortals of Luding Mountain tremble, even if Zhu Wu was loyal to you, he also had a shadow in his heart, and buried too many hidden dangers in his future, this deal is not cost-effective. ”

Baozi Fang Jue woke up from a big dream, and he was indeed too immature, "Then what should I do, I'm done."

"Fortunately, you used a trick to imprison the dragon and send Zhu Yanfa to the Dafang Town you occupy, which is equivalent to holding him under your knife at all times, as a deterrent to Zhu Wu and the others. The Heavenly Pit is the entrance to the Dead Sea, and the ghostly aura is very strong, and you have assigned high-grade immortal classes and Yin soldiers and ghosts to garrison it, presumably those unclean things who want to go down to the Dead Sea will have to find another way. ”

"Sir, you know so much about the Dead Sea! I hope you will give me advice."

"There is no teaching. You'll know when you should know. What I can tell you is that the real Dead Sea is not something that can be controlled by the ghost of a Japanese adjutant, nor can it be rewritten by detaining 9,000 unjust souls. One day, you may have to go down and explore the real Dead Sea again. ”

Baozi always felt that it was too easy to break the Dead Sea, this success was not real, and after listening to Mr. Xiao Yu's order, he knew that the matter was far from over.

"In the future, Enwei will be used to control Zhu Wu with the chess piece of the third prince, understand? The third prince is your flesh, although he is debauched, he is relatively more innocent and credible. Xiao Yu said while drinking tea.

Baozi sighed again that the old man knew the world without leaving the house, and hurriedly agreed, and asked the old man about the red dragon.

"The red dragon is not like a powerful ghost monster, the monsters eat people and harm people, the common people hate them, they are born to stand on opposite sides of each other, you fight demons and catch ghosts, and people will support you. But the red dragon is a feng shui monster, it focuses on the macro pattern, plans for long-term operation, is committed to the overall feng shui pattern, and competes for the hearts and minds of people in a place. It may not show people an evil face, but it may be a good face, and it may be more attractive than you. That is to say, if you lose people's hearts, they will win people's hearts, you play chess every day, you fight every day, you can't lose people's hearts every day, and you can't stop working hard every day, do you understand? ”

Baozi was indeed ignorant of the hidden powerful opponent of the Red Dragon, but after listening to Xiao Yu's words, he still felt that a window had been opened, at least a glimmer of light, and he initially knew the Red Dragon's routine, "I understand!" ”。

"You have become a big event in the past few days, and you are a little fluttering, lingering in the glory of the Luding Mountain Immortal Realm and refusing to go back, thinking that you can achieve a great cause here. Let me tell you, it's just wrong, you are still Bao Ziqiang, the son of physics teacher Bao Jianguo, return to your identity, get rid of the height of the temple, return to the distance of the rivers and lakes, and look for the clues of the red dragon. ”

Now the bun hesitated, the glory and wealth have arrived, he has never had the respect and glory, he rode the horse and whip, excited and forged ahead, he scolded Fang Xuan, dung Wanhu Hou, he saved the soul, got rid of the insect demon, degraded the corrupt officials, collected the people's hearts, and accepted the congratulations of the immortals. This is only two days of life in the fairy world, and he hasn't even had time to inspect all the territory before he gets a slap in the face, even if it's a dream, he has to finish this dream.

"Old man, you know where the red dragon is, right?"

"Hehe, the red dragon is swimming, he is everywhere, where feng shui is at its peak, there is a figure of him doing evil." The old man Xiao Yu looked at the bun kindly, "Your life has drawn a hexagram." You are the dragon among people, but you may not be the dragon of the sky, you answer me a simple question, how many trigrams are there? ”

"Hmm," Baozi thought for a while, "Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement." Chu Jiuyao: Hidden Dragon, don't use it. Ninety-two: See the dragon in the field, and see the lord. Jiusanyao: The gentleman is dry all day long, and he is tired at night. No blame. Ninety-four: Or jump in the abyss, no blame. Ninety-five: The flying dragon is in the sky, and it is good to see the adult. Shang Jiuyao: Kang Long, there is regret.

"Let me ask you, which is the most dangerous one?" The old man listened to the steamed bun and asked skillfully. At this time, Cabbage Flower and the young man also turned their heads and listened quietly to the old man's question, looking fascinated.

"Ninety-fourth, a hundred battles are difficult, like walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss." Bun replied

"Child, you have to remember that the most dangerous thing is actually the Ninety-Five, the flying dragon in the sky." The old man said word by word.

"Why?" Baozi was very surprised, for anyone who works hard, after overcoming all the difficulties and obstacles, to achieve the life goal of Feilong in the sky and Lijian, that is the best peak state of life.

"Prosperity is a sign of failure, and the blooming of flowers is defeat, and prematurely enjoying the glory of success is a sign of great defeat. Therefore, the flying dragon is a dragon after the sky, although it is profitable, but it cannot last long. This is not the time for you to enjoy success, and this is not the place for you to achieve your dreams, your goal is the Red Dragon. Go back to where you came, don't use it to be your hidden dragon, maybe it will take a lifetime to achieve a step, maybe your greatest achievement is only to see the dragon in the field, but don't be impatient, don't be rash, this is the courage that a person with a big pattern should have. “

Baozi suddenly felt that he was just frivolous, and was woken up by a slap from the old man, "Thank you, Mr. for your advice, I will return to Dafang Town immediately, go back solidly, and make long-term plans." ”

"You have the status of an envoy, you can command the soldiers and horses of the Three Realms, the more you have to be on the edge of the abyss at this time, and you must not be a little sloppy and arrogant." The old man laughed, "Back then, after Taizong Li Shimin ascended the throne, I offended Li Shimin many times because of disagreements with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. Although he is an emperor, he is not exempt from vulgarity, so he suppressed me, my career has gone through ups and downs, but I never "reformed" against my will, the so-called "mighty and unyielding"; My grandfather is Xiao Cha, Emperor Xuan of the Later Liang, and my sister is the Empress Xiao of Emperor Yang of Sui, and Li Shimin also respects my family, but I also do not stand out for their prominence, the so-called "wealth is not lewd"; I think that the famous generals of the early Tang Dynasty in Lingyan Pavilion have all soared now, and my old partners Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong have all entered the list of "immortals", second only to the heavenly immortals, and there are countless offerings in the world, and I am the only ghost immortal cultivator, and I have to be subject to various restrictions in the Hanging Dragon Mansion and the River God Mansion every day, living a poor life, the so-called "poor and unswerving". Not lewd, unyielding, unswerving, this is practice. ”

The old man turned serious, he pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, and looked at the bun with great concern, "You may have to be entangled with the red dragon for the rest of your life, you won't be so prominent forever, you will be misunderstood, suppressed and even wronged, maybe you will lose your beloved, and even can't get an ordinary family that ordinary people can easily get, but you have to persevere, because you are an immortal, or even a god, you have an important task to complete, understand?" ”

Baozi bowed deeply, "I understand, today's meeting must also be God's arrangement." ”

"Hehe" the old man smiled, "I can't reach the sky in 1400 years, presumably for today." ”

"Boy, did you vomit something when you entered the door?" The old man asked.

"Yes, a date-like thing." Baozi also subconsciously touched his stomach

"That's your resentment, your pride, your anger, your arrogance. No one is allowed in my room with this dirty stuff. The old man took off his glasses and straightened up the scraps on the table, "Oh yes, I'll give you a gift—try your eyes when you go out." ”

Baozi listened to the busy get up, pushed open the window lattice, looked at the Xuanwu Lake that had entered the twilight, and sure enough, I saw countless immortals flying, flocks of cranes dancing, snow-capped forests, transparent fairy monsters chasing and playing, everywhere on the mounds, the gods of the emperors and nobles who practiced after death were gathering to preach, and the little fox spirits and rabbit fairies also came to eavesdrop, and it was lively like a large-scale bazaar, and the eye of heaven was restored! Hey, the air in Luding Mountain is so fresh, and life is so comfortable, I really don't want to leave.

Suddenly, the soldier slammed on the door, "Report to God!" The mysterious man in red has appeared! “
