Chapter 2:

Mao Hongwu didn't understand what a broken star was, but as soon as he heard that he wanted to quit gambling, this thing was the same as drug rehabilitation, which was so easy, but after careful measurement, compared with his life, gambling is obviously nothing, not to mention that he has no capital to gamble now, for now, let him first solve the poison on his body and save his life, and then talk about it, as for the future, who will say it, made up his mind, and immediately kowtowed eight times and shouted master, which is considered to be a rite of apprenticeship.

Then the old Taoist priest arranged everything properly and instructed Mao Hongwu to act according to the plan and go to catch the meat paste first.

In the middle of the day, the old Taoist priest took Mao Hongwu to hide in the grass, the meat mud appeared on time, just like saying good, Mao Hongwu walked over, just arrived near was the meat mud to be entangled in his feet, frightened Mao Hongwu's face pale, quickly put the wine gourd in his hand to the meat mud body smashed, boom, the gourd was smashed to the sparse, splashed Mao Hongwu's wine, the meat mud popped up, not waiting for Mao Hongwu to get up, the old Taoist priest hiding in the dark quickly ran up, a net scattered the meat mud wrapped in it, This meat paste is the Tai Sui in folklore, the scientific name is Meat Ganoderma lucidum, a bit similar to Cordyceps, something between animals and plants, so it will not move around on its own, and the one they caught in front of them does not know how many years it has existed, and now it has not only learned to move, but also has a little intelligence.

The two of them worked together to strangle the mouth of the net, the old Taoist priest took the dust brush in his hand and made a cut on Tai Sui's body, and a fragrant and thick juice flowed out of it, the old Taoist priest quickly picked up the broken gourd from the ground and took some for Mao Hongwu to drink, Mao Hongwu did not hesitate to raise his head and swallow it, only to feel that the original feeling of hunger and thirst disappeared all of a sudden, and immediately a strong urge to urinate was used, and he quickly took off his pants on the side to solve it.

That Tai Sui was dusted by the old Taoist, desperately trying to break free, the old Taoist took out the wine gourd in his waist and sprinkled it out, and the Tai Sui slowly stopped moving. (This wine is called Babao Guiyuan Wine, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is made from eight different grains, as for the origin of this wine, I will talk about it later, or talk about Mao Hongwu first). Mao Hongwu felt relaxed when he finished urinating, and thought of his previous attitude towards the old Taoist, so he hurriedly knelt down and thanked the old fairy for his rescue.

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and laughed twice and said, "The head is also kowtowed, the teacher is also worshipped, come with me" Mao Hongwu was reluctant at first, but after watching the old Taoist priest catch this Tai Sui, he saved his life, plus the old Taoist priest easily snatched the gun from his hand, anyway, whether he was afraid or grateful, Mao Hongwu finally followed the old Taoist priest.

After that, the old Taoist priest took Mao Hongwu up the mountain, taught him the serious martial arts road, the ability to read and write, and I don't know what tricks the old Taoist priest used, and left Mao Hongwu on the mountain except for = Xi Wen Lianwu was stunned and never moved the idea of going down the mountain, and gambling has slowly become a thing of the past.

However, the old Taoist priest is very old, and when he received Mao Hongwu, he was already over the age of old, just because he had a dream at night, and the next day he made a hexagram in front of the Sanqing statue, as for what dream he had, what was the content of the hexagram, the old Taoist priest did not tell anyone until he died. Within a few years, the old Taoist priest knew that his longevity was coming to an end, so he stayed by Mao Hongwu's side to teach him personally, and after a few years, the old Taoist priest returned to the West.

Before dying, the old Taoist priest summoned Mao Hongwu and another senior brother Kong Liang to him, and said, "We are a master and apprentice, I wanted to teach you more skills, but unfortunately my longevity is approaching, I have a copy of "Qimen Ancient Seal" here, this book is a book that covers birds and beasts in ancient times, the secretary of astronomy and geography, Hongwu, the cipher text I taught you is the text of the second book, and there is half a jade slip, you two must work together to find the other half.

Mao Hongwu and the seventeen brothers on the mountain buried the master, and went down, and the seventeen brothers joined the secular melee, including Mao Hongwu, a total of five were still alive, and the rest of the people were scattered, Mao Hongwu and Kong Liang got married successively, and each gave birth to a son and a daughter, the son is called Mao Wenxuan, and the daughter is called Kong Li.

After a long time, the two of them joined the army under the influence of their parents, and they also had a good impression of each other, until the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were in the civil war, Mao Hongwu was already at the level of a full division, and after the battle of crossing the river, he went south with the troops, and his family was also settled in the south.

Before the liberation of the country, there was me, before the liberation of the country, the year I was born happened to be the founding of the country, and the whole country was celebrating that year, so almost everyone who was born was called the founding of the country, but fortunately, the two old men in our family were a little learned, so they changed their names, Mao Jianbang, and now whoever calls me this name is really awkward.

Then when I was seventeen years old, the family suffered a change, almost all the officers in my grandfather's army were killed, from top to bottom almost no one was spared, my grandfather and grandfather because they wanted to fulfill the old Taoist priest's deathbed wishes, the family hid a lot of ancient books and ancient books, what myths and legends, the history of the wild history, everything is precisely because of these things grandfather was pulled out as a cow, ghost, snake and god criticism and parade on the street, he is old, even if he is young no matter how good he is, he can't stand the years to urge people to get old, The old arms and legs couldn't withstand two tosses and passed away. For half of his life, he was killed by his master for his dying wishes, and the world is so impermanent.

Grandfather realized the problem when he was criticized for the first time, afraid that I, the only seedling of the Mao family, would be planted, so he found me for a day and entrusted me to his guard company commander, my grandfather also suddenly made a statement at this time and broke off the relationship with the Mao family, and my mother also left, and finally this guard company commander took me with me, took my grandfather's forged identity certificate and a broken book and ran away, I don't know what ecstasy soup my grandfather poured into him, I was stunned to take me all the time, married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a baby and did not forget to have me.

My grandfather's family was lucky, and they haven't had any trouble since they drew a line with the Mao family, but I don't know what happened after that.

My father Mao Wenxuan, to be honest, I really don't know how he died, but one day when I came home from school, I suddenly heard that he hanged himself, and there are too many reasons for suicide, and he said that he couldn't stand the insult of criticism, and he said that he couldn't stand the invisible pressure exerted by others, in short, it was because of that incident.

After saying that, my family is me again, and I have always felt that my grandfather is thinking too much, what age is it still Xingzhulian Nine Clans? But at that time, I didn't have a choice, and I was taken away by Zou Yanchang, that is, my grandfather's guard company commander.

At that time, there were only a few ways out for young people, unlike now you can study and take the college entrance examination to go to college, and then you can choose the jobs all over the world, at that time the college entrance examination was impossible, and if you want to go to college, you can only rely on recommendations, where is there someone like me who has fled from my hometown to recommend to you, going to college is definitely no fun, originally I should go to the mountains and go to the countryside to do collective Guan Rong labor, but our old man changed my identity information, and Zou Yanchang did not let me go to the countryside, saying that it was easy to expose my identity.

But if you want to say that I should stay at home all day and do nothing, it will definitely not work, everyone has a task at that time, and if you can't complete the task, you will be criticized. So there is another way, that is, to be a soldier, I was originally born in a military family, I naturally want to be a soldier, although the old man in the family is unlucky, but this heart is not dead, even if it is dead when a soldier fights, it is better than just being so nested, so I relied on my young blood, and pretended to be Zou Yanchang's son into the army.

In this way, I also changed my name and went to inspect the army without Zou Yanchang, and I don't know how this army censored, since I was allowed to pass. Since you want to be a soldier after that, you have to fight, and this is the time of the Cold War, although I don't know much about national affairs, I also know that the border is the easiest place to fight, and I hope to go to the border all day long.

Most of our recruits here were assigned to Yunnan and Xinjiang, and I was assigned to Yunnan at that time, and with me was one of my neighbors, Li Hanlin, who was stronger than me, but I always said that he was fat, fat, so I gave him the nickname Fat Man, I had heard of the tropical rainforest in books before, and it was not until I arrived in the place that I really saw it.

When he left home by train, Zou Yanchang was angry, but he still went to see us off, it was a very honorable thing to join the army in these years, but when it came to me, it was like sending an undercover agent, Zou Yanchang handed me two books and half a jade slip with a sad face, which was what the old man's master gave them before he died.

When I was a child, my grandfather taught me some strange words, and at that time I didn't know what to do with that thing, and no one knew it when I wrote it, and when Zou Yanchang gave me the book, these things suddenly came to mind, and the only two things left by the old man were a "Qimen Ancient Seal" and a half jade slip that I didn't know what it was, and now these two things can only be regarded as a thought for my grandfather.

Although it is in Yunnan, it is actually almost to the Sino-Vietnamese border. If you haven't been here, you will definitely be deceived by Kunming's four seasons like spring, our group of thousands of people are divided into different military divisions, I and the fat man was divided into a place only more than 200 miles away from Vietnam, we were stupid when we first arrived at the station, this place is surrounded by mountains and stretches for thousands of miles, there are mountains and tropical rainforests, and we drove on the road for three or four hours in a big truck without seeing a single family, half a figure.
