Chapter 37: Faith is inviolable
Yu Ji and Zuo Ci, both of them have reached the level of Yudan and entered the realm of earth immortals, what special means of communication between them can transmit sound across thousands of miles, it is also a very normal thing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoCoincidentally, just when Zuo Ci was running to the toilet, he suddenly got a message from the teacher, saying that he had arrived in Jiangdong, and asked the master and apprentice to meet in Huiji Mountain recently.
Therefore, Zuo Ci hurriedly ran to tell Zhang Lu, "Aren't you planning to find my teacher?" Then come with me to Huiji Mountain.
Zhang Lu frowned, and said in his heart, Yu Lao Xian'er, you are too weird, come from the Central Plains, cross the river to the south, you should first pass through Wu County, why don't you make an appointment in Wu County, but go to Huiji Mountain? Am I guessing wrong, he used to be in Guangdong, so he came from south to north, and he arrived first in Huiji? I made an appointment with a few companions to meet in Wu County, if you made an appointment with Zuo Ci in Wu County, it would be almost a good way, but I ran to Huiji Mountain......
He said in his heart that I don't dare to go to see Nanhua Immortal alone, the origin of the prophecy, where the "Tianyuan" is, even Pei Xuanren and Zhang Jujun don't know, Yu Ji Bacheng wants to hide it, so he asks when he opens his mouth, will it annoy him? Zuo Ci is his disciple, and he can't stop it with a move, let alone Yu Ji...... He could really exile himself to an illusion and detain him until he died......
Of course, he can't tell Zuo Ci this reason, he just muttered: "I met with my peers in Wu County, visited Lingshi together, and went alone without telling me today, but what?"
Zuo Ci smiled and said that you are quite trustworthy. But do you think about it, I don't know how long Master will stay when he returns to Jiangdong, and where he plans to go, you go to Wujun first, and you will gather friends and friends, and then when you want to look for him, he will be gone? Zhang Luxin said no, Yu Ji has to preach the Tao in Jiangdong for several years...... Even if he came in a hurry this time, he would come back sooner or later. But he said: "It's okay to follow the fate." ”
Then he tugged at Zuo Ci's sleeve and said, "Please do me a favor: "With the power of the son, I will be able to transmit the message to me...... "It's hard to find you, it shouldn't be difficult for you to find me, right? After you meet up with the Lingshi, if you plan to leave Huiji Mountain and go elsewhere, please send me a text message first? Don't wait for me to run to Huiji Mountain, you guys have already flashed......
Zuo Ci nodded in agreement. The Yan brothers over there were not calm, knelt down and bowed, and begged Zuo Ci to bring him with him and go to see Nanhua Immortal Yuji together. Zuo Ci shook his head: "Earl Zhang's cultivation is in the same vein, and his teacher will also ascend to the immortal, so I dare to lead the teacher to ......" Zhang Lu's identity is different from you, he is a serious cultivator, and his master is quite prominent, so I can take him directly to see the teacher without saying hello. The two of you are far apart, without the permission of the teacher, do I dare to bring any cat or dog back?
Besides, "Xian Kunzhong is willing to give up this foundation?" "You have a huge industry, hundreds of hectares of fertile land, tens of thousands of people in the vicinity, and wives and concubines, are you willing to throw them all down, leave Wucheng, and run to find my teacher?
The Yan brothers looked at each other, and had to dispel the idea of seeing Yu Ji. The dinner party ended happily, and after it was over, Zhang Lu talked about Taoism and supernatural powers with Zuo Ci, and chatted until the early morning of the next day. The two of them left the village immediately, and the Yan brothers came to see each other off, and begged: "The second master has to leave me without a word?"
Zuo Ci just shook his head and didn't speak. Zhang Luxin said that these two guys were very respectful to themselves, and although the level of hospitality was not good, their enthusiastic attitude was still worth encouraging, so he muttered for a while and warned Yan Baihu: "And remember this: 'Faith cannot be violated. ’”
He planned to pretend to be a magic stick and reveal something about the future, but he was afraid that he would not read much history in the first place, and as a result, he would remember that he would not be able to make any mistakes, and second, he was afraid that if he easily changed history, would it lead to any unpredictable consequences? That's what he did to Cao Cao in the past, and this time it was used on the Yan brothers.
The four words "faith cannot be violated" mean on the surface that the Yan brothers should be honest and faithful, and not violate agreements and oaths, but in fact, Sun Ce's name is buried in it! "The original meaning of Fu is to prove the document to show credibility - that means: If you meet Sun Bofu, you must not disobey his order, you should surrender, you can be safe.
Zuo Citing is good at being a man, even if the Yan brothers were sent ten miles away to say goodbye in tears, they all left, and he didn't ask Zhang Lu what he meant by what he said just now. The two first went east side by side, and then broke up in the south and north, and Zhang Lu hurried to Wu County. Along the way, it was quite peaceful, after all, the war in the Central Plains had not spread to Jiangdong at this time, although the people were not happy, and the whole world was the same, but as long as there were no soldiers, just some grass cowards who occupied the mountains and rivers as the king did not pose any threat to him Earl Zhang.
In these years, you need to "pass" through the county, that is, a pass, fortunately, this thing is not difficult to forge, and Zhang Lu theoretically still has an official position, and that set of Lang official clothes is the best "pass", and the general guards dare not ask. It's just that after successfully entering Wu County, he began to be at a loss, where should I go and wait for them?
Both of them are from the Central Plains, Bujue is from Jiangbei, Baique'er is from Jingnan, and Wei Boyang is a native of Jiangdong. But even if he was a native of Jiangdong and lived in seclusion on Fuchun Mountain in the south of Wu County for a long time, he had never been to Wu County seriously. This year is not as good as in later generations, even if there are few hotels in big cities, it is impossible to do publicity all over the world, and telephone reservations and online reservations are even more invisible. In fact, Wu County is only a medium-sized city, but the residents and floating population are estimated to be tens of thousands, Zhang Luxin said that I want to find a corner to squat, and it is impossible to find it!
It's like he was waiting for me outside the gate of Yangcheng? God knows how many days it will take. This person comes and goes, just sits on the side of the road for a half and a half months, and is not caught as a madman?
But since he can think of this, it is estimated that Xuan Jian will not be confused, it is better to find a more distinctive hotel to rest - there are only a few hotels in the city, and he will be able to find himself sooner or later if he asks one by one.
To say that most of the hotels in the Han Dynasty were government-run, with heirlooms, postal offices and pavilions, etc., mainly to entertain government officials, just like those guest houses of Zhang Lu when he was a child, you can't enter without a letter of introduction. Fortunately, there are also a very small number of private hotels, either called "reverse travel" or "private hotels", which can enter without looking at ID cards. Zhang Lu stopped a person who seemed to be a local to inquire, and then he learned that there were only two private hotels in Wu County, one in the east of the city and the other in the west of the city - this is simple.
If you ask again, you can't go to the private hotel in the east of the city, that's where the county shou Shengxian recruits guests, not only does not charge money, but also pays money, you have to have a certain prestige taxi to live in. The one in the west of the city is a serious private hotel, but unfortunately the scale is very small, there are only six or seven rooms before and after, and the take-out fee is expensive.
Zhang Luxin said that I will go to the big luck, so he strode to the private hall in the west of the city, and as soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by a servant with a smiling face, and asked him: "Where do you come from?" The Lang official clothes that Zhang Lu wore when he entered the city had already taken them off at this time - no matter how young the Lang official was, he was also an official, and the official did not live in a public hotel, but came to a private hotel, which inevitably aroused suspicion - he was dressed in regular clothes, and said casually: "I came from Henan to study." Then he asked, how much does it cost you to stay here for a day?
The servant gestured a finger: "Lian'er, stop a hundred dollars." Zhang Luxin said that 100 yuan is still "cheap", and it is still "stopped"? In ordinary years, 100 yuan is enough to buy most of Hugu, enough for a family of three to eat for a week, okay? It's really a black-hearted shop, why don't you go and grab it...... There is no way, there is a huge county, and there is only one private store, and he is embarrassed not to open his mouth.
Although he was slandered, he was light on the surface, and said with a smile: "But, live for five days." As he spoke, he walked to the back.
The servant hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, saying that you must register first, and then hope to be able to deposit some money and goods on the cabinet. Zhang Lu said that registration is okay, as for the mortgage - "Call your lord, I will say it myself." "The servant pouted and said that if the master is not there, I will be able to make up my mind, and you can tell me okay. Zhang Lu glared: "I have treasures as a hostage, what kind of person are you, how can you know it?!"
The servant had no choice but to trot in, and soon led an old man out. The old man bowed his hand to Zhang Lu and said that I was the shopkeeper, and the gentleman called me out, and I don't know what treasures to be mortgaged on the counter? Zhang Lu smiled faintly, stared at the old shopkeeper's cloudy eyes, and said word by word: "I am a treasure, why should I pledge it?"
When the old shopkeeper heard this, he frowned at first, and then looked Zhang Lu up and down, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong—this person has a great background! Not only can he not afford to offend, but if he can give him some help, it will be ...... for my future business No, there are countless benefits to my children and grandchildren! Hurry up and wave your hand: "Why bother to talk about quality? ”
Zhang Luxin said ashamed, I was really fooled by me - it seems that my realm has indeed grown through Zuo Ci's trick "Lingtai Mirage", this kind of trick to bewitch the minds of others should not have been so slippery before...... I want to go back to my hometown at the beginning, if I knew this trick at that time, with this power, where would Zhang Hao and Zhang Fu dare to do it? But the magic power of the immortal law was actually used to live in a white shop and eat white food, and I was really a shame for a cultivator......
The old shopkeeper specially arranged an upper room and asked Zhang Lu to stay. Zhang Lu said that you only need to send one meal a day, don't bother me if you have nothing to do, and I may have to stay for a few days...... If anyone comes to the store to look for me, I have to bring them to me immediately. The old shopkeeper replied repeatedly, and said with a smile on his face, you can stay for a few days if you want to, even if you live in the wilderness.
After that, for several days, Zhang Lu stayed in the hotel, closed his door, meditating every day to cultivate his qi, in order to consolidate the realm that he had just ascended. Xuan Yuanjie didn't let him wait longer, he soon came to the door, met and discussed, Xuan Jian said, it's rare to have such a great opportunity, if we delay for a long time, Yu Ji left Huiji Mountain, even if Zuo Ci helped to summon the message, it would be more difficult to find him. Why don't we wait for those three and visit first?
Zhang Lu asked if this was considered a breach of trust? Xuan Jian smiled and said, "Even if you have an appointment in Wu, you can leave a book with you." "You are the protagonist of this journey, including me, who was ordered by the master to come to help you, so as long as you leave a letter and point them in the direction of their journey, you and I should go first.
Zhang Luxin said that he was afraid that the two of us would be poisoned by Nanhua Immortal...... In fact, the probability of Yu Ji killing them is very low, but there is a certain danger after all. He pondered for a while, and then asked Xuan Jian: "This trip is auspicious, can you take advantage of it?"
Xuan Jian spread his hands and said that my own affairs have never been accurate. Zhang Lu instigated: "But it's okay to count me." "Don't tie us together, just count me - if I'm in danger, I guess you won't be able to escape, and if I'm not in danger, you'll be fine." Xuan Jian hesitated for a while, and couldn't afford Zhang Lu's repeated urging, so he had to agree. So he first burned a furnace of incense, then washed his face and hands, sat upright and condensed, and took out the yarrow from his bag......
The method of yarrow is to first meditate in your mind and ask the question of the heavens, and then use fifty yarrowes, first take out one and place it on the side of the table, like Tai Chi, and then divide the remaining forty-nine yarrow in two at will, take out one of the piles, and then count the four and four to get a remainder from one to four, and then count the other pile with four and four to get the remainder from one to four......
But just as he had just divided the yarrow in half, suddenly there was a knock on the door, and I heard a servant shouting, "Two gentlemen, I'm bringing dinner." This voice suddenly sounded in this silent quiet room, and Xuan Jian couldn't help but tremble with his left hand, and two yarrows fell to the ground......
Zhang Lu is so angry, he has lived here for several days, and knows that the shopkeeper has hired a total of four servants to take care of the private shop, and three of them (including the one who led him in that day) are all good-tempered, and they are soft-spoken every day, only this one is quick-tempered and loud-voiced. Why is it this kid's turn to deliver food today?
I had to open the door and go out, take over the food table, and then take care of it vigorously, and not bother again. When he closed the door and returned to the house, he saw that Xuan Jian was putting the yarrow together again. Xuan Jian explained: "Occupy the decision, the heart is chaotic, and it must be done again. "Folklore, Yarrow is to seek the revelation of God, so you must be pious; in fact, where does it come from, what kind of conscious God, Yarrow is just a kind of magical power for cultivators to communicate the aura of heaven and earth, and sort out the context of things, and there is no need to be pious at all, but it absolutely needs to concentrate and devote oneself wholeheartedly. With that throat just now, Xuan Yuanjie's mind was messed up on the spot, although it was only for a moment, but if he continued to calculate, he would definitely not be able to get an accurate and reasonable result - forget it, I'll do it again.
So I regained my composure and rested for a while before picking up the yarrow again. Zhang Lu was holding his breath, staring at Xuan Jian's movements, and suddenly heard another shout in the courtyard outside the door: "Xizhai Huilu, hurry up and save each other!"
Xuan Jian couldn't help but shudder again, and then directly threw the yarrow in his hand on the case, and said to Zhang Lu: "It's not counted!"
