Chapter 90: The Real Wu Song in History
How did this ability help him escape for his life?
Once, when Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang were fighting, they led their troops through a valley. This valley is the kind of "coffin" terrain with large entrances, but narrower the further in, and steep cliffs on both sides.
The fatal thing is that when the team marched to the bottom of the valley, it was attacked by Chen Youliang's troops who were ambushed in the valley, and boulders rolled down from the mountain, so many soldiers of Zhu Yuanzhang's troops were smashed into meat cakes, which was unbearable, and the valley suddenly sounded a terrible scream, the neighing of horses, and the cry for help, and the valley instantly became a hell on earth. The soldiers were completely frightened, they were desperately running at the bottom of the valley, their minds were a little clearer, and they knew that they were rushing towards the mouth of the valley, intending to escape quickly, while many of the soldiers were completely unconscious, running around like headless flies, and it was useless to let the generals shout and give orders.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also very flustered at first, but because he had been on the battlefield for a long time, he had cultivated an extraordinary psychological element, so that he could quickly regain his calm. When he looked up, he found that there was a boulder above his head, which was falling from the sky, but the moment he saw the boulder, he suddenly felt that all the sounds around him had disappeared, and the stone suddenly became like a snowflake falling slowly, falling so slowly. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately turned over and dismounted, rushed forward a few steps, and felt very easy to dodge.
However, when he stopped to look, the stone had already fallen, but the few soldiers around him did not dodge, and they were either killed or injured. Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was in the middle, which also means that the possibility of him escaping is the smallest, and the chances of escape for those pro-soldiers were originally greater, but for some reason, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who rushed out first, and a few of them on the side did not have time to run away, which shows that Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction speed is many times faster than them.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the shape of the shì was extremely sinister, so he didn't dare to stay and sloppy in the slightest, he concentrated, his eyes were firmly fixed on the boulders that rumbled down, in the eyes of others, those boulders that were so fast that they couldn't be avoided, but to him, they were as slow as wild boars slowly walking. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to easily dodge these terrible and ruining boulders one by one. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't feel how fast the boulder was, nor did he feel how fast his speed was, he just focused like when he was a child, when he caught Daji's bird, as if he was in another space, in that space, the objects that were originally moving very fast, in his senses, became inexplicably and very slow.
This attack caused heavy casualties to Zhu Yuanzhang's troops, especially when they were attacked, almost all of those who happened to be in the middle of the valley were stoned to death, or were seriously injured, only the troops at both ends of the valley were able to quickly evacuate from the valley, so the casualties were smaller, and when they were attacked, Zhu Yuanzhang happened to be in the middle of the valley, and almost all the people around him were smashed to death, only he was unscathed.
Since this battle, people have said that Zhu Yuanzhang has the body of Daluo Immortal, invulnerable, unable to die by fire, and unable to drown by water, and some people even secretly said that this Zhu Yuanzhang is not simple, and has the "life of the emperor". This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, although Zhu Yuanzhang has lost a lot of horses, but his prestige in the team has been greatly improved, which is of great significance to a person who leads troops to fight.
Emperor Jianwen listened to the old monk more and more respectful, he suddenly felt that this old monk belongs to the kind of "master of the world" that people say, with extraordinary wisdom and insight, and more strategies and ways of thinking that ordinary people can't reach, he actually knows his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang better than himself, and through guò this kind of incident, he analyzed Zhu Yuanzhang's magical ability.
Maybe in the eyes of others, Zhu Yuanzhang is an unpredictable monarch, but in his eyes, he is more like a loving grandfather, although he is very strict with this grandson, but there is always a strong love in the strictness, especially when the grandparents and grandchildren get along in private, Zhu Yuanzhang shows his love and love for this grandson.
Zhu Yuanzhang began to massacre the ministers who fought with him in order for his descendants to inherit the country. Those veterans who started a business with him were killed by him one by one, but only Xiao Tang He was left, and he was very important to Tang He, and Tang He was able to die a good death in the end.
At that time, people privately said that the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill Tang He was for another reason, and at that time, there was such a story among the people:
said that when Zhu Yuanzhang was a child, he often led the children in the village to play games. One day, on a mound, they played the game of "being emperor". It is a group of children who take turns to pretend to be the emperor and accept to pick up his children and bow down. When Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the mound, and the other children knelt down to worship him and shouted "Long live", Zhu Yuanzhang did everything on the mound without any abnormality. But when it was the turn of other children to pretend to be emperors, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang knelt down to him, that child would fall off the mound. When it was Tang He's turn, he was also thrown down like this, so Tang He shouted angrily: "What kind of bird emperor are you, when I grow up, I have to overthrow you." After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he also responded loudly to Tang He;" Bold, dare to be so presumptuous, push and pull me down and cut it. Immediately, the two children pulled Tang He to the sorghum field, and picked a sorghum leaf, pretending to be a ghost knife, and cut it down on Tang He's neck.
Therefore, people say that Tang He had been beheaded by Zhu Yuanzhang once when he was a child, so after becoming a minister, Tang He escaped.
Emperor Jianwen still remembered that he once took this story and asked his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang for verification, and the people next to him were all pale with fright, for fear that Zhu Yuanzhang would be furious about this nonsense, but he didn't expect that after Zhu Yuanzhang listened to these words of his grandson, he not only laughed, but even laughed out of tears.
Therefore, Emperor Jianwen has no sense of cruelty and ruthlessness in the memory of his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, in his eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang is just a kind grandfather.
However, why did the old monk tell his grandfather these things to himself?
"I didn't expect the master to know the deeds of Taizu so well, as a descendant of Taizu, I am ashamed of myself, I will keep these things in mind when the master says, and I hope that the spirit of Taizu in the sky can bless me......"
As soon as he said this, Emperor Jianwen suddenly saw the old monk with the chopsticks in his hand, and with a light clip in the air, he caught a flying fly, the light in the room was so dim, and the fly flew so fast, I didn't expect this old monk to be able to clamp it easily, could it be that he, like his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, also has the feeling ability of "seeing fast is slow"?
The old monk saw Emperor Jianwen's mouth slightly open, looked at his every move in surprise, couldn't help but smile dumbly, nodded lightly, and said: "Your Majesty guessed right, Lao Gao also has the ability of Taizu, when I was learning art, the master touched my bone physiognomy and pulse, and I knew that Lao Qu had such ability, but my ability is buried deep in my nature, and it is difficult to express it, which is different from Tai Grandpa." He was naturally able to mobilize this ability, but I couldn't, and the master said that I had to practice hard to bring this ability into play. So he taught me the methods of meditation, pranayama, and concentration, but this is only the basics, and in order to truly master this ability, you have to go through the shock of life and death before you can bring out this talent.
After meditating and pranayama for a long time, one day, the master suddenly called me to the front and asked me to go to a cave in the back mountain, and take a sword that he hid there, of course I gladly accepted the order, but what I didn't expect was that the master was lying to me, in fact, in that cave, there was no sword at all, but a tiger inhabited, when I came to the cave, I just wanted to go in to find the sword, but I didn't expect a tiger, suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and looked at me with a tiger's eye, I was scared to death, the blood all over my body was like a backward flow, I felt that I would soon be torn to pieces by this tiger that looked very hungry, and turned into a pile of bones, thinking about that miserable situation, I was so frightened that I vomited at that time, the tiger roared, and sure enough, it pounced like me, it was strange to say, at the moment when the tiger jumped up, I suddenly felt that the sound around me had disappeared, and the tiger's movements suddenly became very slow, I watched it take off and slowly pounce on me, I felt that I was just not fast to dodge, but I didn't expect to dodge, Then I kept feeling as if something was wrong with the tiger, and it was always slowly soaring, and I didn't have much trouble dodging its attacks again and again.
I don't know how long it took, this tiger walked away helplessly, it may not understand, why is it not able to catch the prey in its mouth? When the tiger disappeared, I came to my senses, and found that my clothes were soaked with sweat, and I only felt a little weak at that time, and I didn't feel too tired, but when I returned to the temple, I fell asleep for three days and three nights, and when I woke up three days later, I felt that every piece of flesh and every joint in my body was aching."
After hearing this, Emperor Jianwen couldn't help but smile in amazement and said: "I didn't expect that the master was also a strange person, and he could escape from the tiger's mouth, this ability is comparable to Wu Song in the Song Dynasty." ”
The old monk also waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let Your Majesty smile, but Wu Song's ability to escape from the tiger's mouth, as well as his deeds of fighting the tiger, I am afraid that those storytellers made it up, according to historical records, that Wu Song is just a Jianghu performer, at that time, the Hangzhou prefect Gao Quan saw that Wu Song's martial arts were strong and talented, so he was exceptionally promoted and made him the head of the capital." Therefore, Wu Song definitely did not become the head of the capital because of the tiger. Some people have verified that in the Central Plains during the Song Dynasty, there were really tigers. But killing a tiger with bare hands is pure nonsense, Your Majesty can know that the tiger's skull is extremely hard, even an inch thick iron plate, the tiger can hit the pit with its head, the iron plate on the gate of our temple, at night often have tigers hit with their heads, so I know how hard the tiger's skull is. Then Wu Song only smashed the tiger's head with a meat fist, how could he beat the tiger to death?
Later, the high authority of the Hangzhou prefect was dismissed because he offended the powerful and was falsely accused by traitors. Wu Song was also implicated because of this and lost his job.
Taking over as the prefect of Hangzhou is Cai Ke, the son of Taishi Cai Jing, as soon as this kid takes office, he does nonsense, bullying men and women in the fish and meat township, doing all kinds of evil, making the local people complain. Wu Song hated him even more, and decided to risk his life to assassinate Cai Ke. One day, he hid a sharp blade and hid near the gate of Cai's mansion waiting for the opportunity. When Cai Ke appeared, Wu Song rushed forward with lightning speed and stabbed Cai Ke several times, killing the kid on the spot. Wu Song was also unable to escape and was captured, and later died in prison. This is the real Wu Song in history, just talking about his ability to escape in danger, not to mention comparing with the great grandfather, even compared with the old man, he is not enough to worry about. ”
