Chapter Twenty-Six: Meet a Big Bastard
Cao Cao asked Xuan Jian if he had gone to calculate a hexagram for Yuan Shu, and Zhang Luxin said that sure enough, he didn't know how deep the Cao family's spies were buried in Yuan's camp, and he even knew about it...... hurriedly replied in place of Xuan Jian, saying, "Yes." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info"Since you have received the reward, I will not make up nonsense...... Or rather, we have to make up the nonsense a little deeper. Sure enough, Cao Cao immediately asked about the divination results, and Zhang Lu replied: "If you occupy him, you will lose, so I don't dare to say anything, but I will say it." ā
Liu Gen smiled beside him and questioned: "This is a nonsense." If I don't know the results of divination, how can he let you go?
Zhang Lu glanced at Liu Gen obliquely, and said in his heart, why is this person so annoying!
First of all, what Liu Gen said is reasonable, although Xuan Jian is not a "famous person for divination", he has indeed studied very deeply in prophecy. There are many ways to cultivate immortals, and the basic principle is to guide the qi, cultivate the body and mind, and finally sublimate the body and consciousness, so that it is possible to ascend to the heavenly realm. In addition to this basic principle, there are many spells that can be used to assist in cultivation, and prophecy is also an important one.
To say that Zhang Jian and Pei Xuanren are not good at accounting - of course, the tenth-level specialization in fire method, the fireball may not be as good as the twentieth level warlock, Pei Xuanren is much more accurate than Xuan Jian, not to mention Zhang Jian, who is an immortal, but Zhang Jujun is good at divination, and he is thrifty. Liu Gen said that you can just calculate who wins and who loses in front of your eyebrows? This is too simple, I will do it, I can't play your level at all. There must be something else, you just won't say.
But the truth is this, is it necessary for you to jump out and dismantle the stage now? If you really want us to tell Cao Cao the truth, you should have repeatedly asked questions on the road just now, and you might also analyze the gains and losses, and I won't mention it at that time, and now I will answer, "If you take possession, you will lose." "Are you deliberately trying to frame us, or do you want to show how smart you are in front of Cao Cao?
In fact, Zhang Lu had already made up a rhetoric in his heart, which was enough to pass the test perfunctorily, but at this time, he was ashamed of Liu Genwu, and his anger surged up, and he simply-"This is not known to Liu Gong." "Who are you? Cao Cao wants to know what to do, when is it your turn to question? It's just a third-rate earth immortal, Lao Tzu is a predetermined immortal seedling, and I talked and laughed with the immortal Zhang Ting!
Cao Cao smiled and looked at the two of them, as if they were enjoying themselves - in fact, in his opinion, no matter how loud Liu Gen was, he was just a scholar after all, not a serious scholar, no different from an advocate of excellence. The two groups of Fang Shi quarreled in front of me, and if I was annoyed, I would all drive them away, not so idle at this time, just to see the excitement.
Liu Gen was pushed by Zhang Lu, and felt quite faceless, so he sank his face on the spot, and arched his hands towards the upper seat: "I don't know if Cao Yanzhou can get it or not?"
Cao Cao said in his heart, why did it happen to me again? You can continue to quarrel, don't pay attention to me for now.
Zhang Lu also arched his hand towards Cao Cao and said loudly: "Liu Gong can occupy it, and he should know that he has no need to take it." When those who hear it, they seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they are afraid of making mistakes. The will of heaven is unpredictable, the heart of heaven is uncertain, those who want to suffer disasters but get disasters, and those who want to avoid disasters and suffer disasters, there are endless books in history. We don't want to harm people, so we don't talk to Yuan Highway, and now Cao Gong is also involved, but we can't hear about it. Liu Gongte wants to harm Cao Gongye?"
Cao **** wants to know the results of our fortune-telling for Yuan Shu, yes, but it also involves you, and if you know it, you may cause trouble -- do you really want to hear it? Liu Gen, do you really want to ask? Are you planning to harm Cao Cao?
Liu Gen snorted coldly: "Listen to the alarmist. Then he pointed at Zhang Lu and turned to Cao Cao: "This clearly wants to make a difference for the Yuan family!"
Zhang Lu stiffened his neck: "That is, I am the Yuan family, and I am also cited by Liu Gong." "You say I was a spy for Yuan Shu, but I didn't have a chance to enter Cao's camp in the first place, you brought me in, you can't be guilty?
Liu Gen argued: "I lead the Yuan Festival, who knows what kind of person you are?"
Zhang Lu said that you don't know me, I don't know you yet-"What can the public do, and the evil words to confuse the Cao Gong? For example, in the past, Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng, the first emperor used the art of immortality, but it could not be effective, but it was specially slandered and died, so the first emperor brought disaster to Confucianism, and the Xianyang of the pit!
I think that Hou Sheng, Lu Sheng, and those scholars spoke loudly and deceived Qin Shi Huang, saying that they could get the elixir of immortality, and after the deception was exposed, they bit back, saying that because Qin Shi Huang was greedy for power, he could not live forever, and then he ran away - Qin Shi Huang was angry with all living beings because of this, and it was a matter of deception. Do you want to learn from them now? First come and bewitch Cao Cao, and if the situation is not good, he will run away, and in addition, he will spread bad words about Cao Cao everywhere - you will definitely be able to do this kind of thing!
Liu Gen said that you are really a charcoal seller, don't talk about crows and black, you are also a person who cultivates immortals, and you also say that I am a liar, aren't you a liar?
Zhang Lu said Who did I lie? I am dedicated to cultivating, and I didn't want to flatter the officials and praise the stinky feet of the nobles. Unless you and I conspire to trap Cao Cao in a deception - is this possible?
Liu Gen said that you didn't take the initiative to see Cao Cao, but you took the initiative to see Yuan Shu......
Zhang Lu said that if I bewitch Yuan Shu, I am doing Cao Cao a favor, and I should be treated as a guest, how can I allow you, a charlatan, to point at my nose and scold me?
The two of them were arguing with each other, attacking endlessly, and Cao Cao listened to this eyebrow fluttering next to him - raising Fangshi is much more interesting than raising You. But others may not be able to listen to it anymore, Xuan Jian tried to stop him several times, but unfortunately his tongue was not flexible enough, and he couldn't insert it into his mouth;
As soon as Liu Gen heard this, he first closed his mouth.
Liu Gengen was introduced to Cao Cao by Zhang Miao (Meng Zhuo). Zhang Miao said well, heard about Liu Gen's deeds, visited everywhere, and was finally found by him not long ago, it was really like a treasure, and he quickly dedicated it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao himself doesn't like Fang Shi very much, but everyone has a dream of immortality, so he came to talk about it, Liu Junan has more than 200 years of knowledge after all, and he is good at welcoming him, and he quickly won Cao Cao's favor. Today, a spy came to report, saying that two Fang Shi had entered the Yuan camp, Cao Cao asked Mr. Liu if you know them, Liu Gen asked his name, and said that I am familiar with Xuan Jian, so it is better to invite me to meet with Cao Gong and listen to what they have said to Yuan Shu.
In fact, when Liu Gen ran out to find Xuan Jian and Zhang Lu, Cao Cao had not yet obtained the information they had given Yuan Shu fortune telling, so he didn't ask on the way - this was Zhang Lu's preconceived idea, and he was wrongly blamed. However, when Cao Cao asked about it, Zhang Lu was vague, and Liu Gen took the opportunity to climb the pole, and he had to help Cao Cao find out, and the two had a conflict.
Now that Lou Gui asked Zhang Miao to talk about Liu Gen's deeds, Liu Gen naturally shut up - junior, if I brag about myself, it will seem a little petty, or let others say it, so that you can understand what I can do. I heard Xuan Yuanjie say that you have only been cultivating for a few years, why do you have eyes that turn up to the sky, and even the old-timers don't respect you? Although I have never met your master, I am a senior brother with Zhang Jujun, Zhang Jujun and your master are equals, if you don't call me Uncle Sheng, forget it, and dare to make a bold mistake? I must teach you a lesson today!
Liu Gen shut up, Zhang Lu wanted to continue spraying, but Cao Cao coughed with phlegm: "Meng Zhuo can come for everyone." He had no choice but to swallow back his words first - even if he didn't know that Cao Cao was a historical celebrity, after all, now he was the master, I was the guest, the host spoke, and the guest had no reason to continue to nag.
Zhang Miao was happy, and first pointed at Zhang Lu: "You don't know what Mr. Liu can do, he is a widow." There is a very clear example that can prove the greatness of his skills -- "The former Yingchuan is too shou shi qi, do you know it?"
It is estimated that Zhang Lu doesn't know who Shi Qi is, and the rest of the people are all bowed - the key is that this Shi Taishou is an official in the middle of Emperor Ling, and it is normal that he has not heard of it as an official in the era of Earl Zhang and Young Emperor Liu Wei.
I listened to Zhang Miao talk about this matter in detail, it turned out that Liu Gen used to live in seclusion in Songgao Mountain, but he said that he was in seclusion, and he didn't know what propaganda he had done. When Taishou Shiqi heard about this, he was afraid that he would bewitch the public with his lies -- Zhang Jiao was doing this in Jizhou, and Situ Yang Ci asked for arrest and killing, and Xu Sheng, a person from Juzhang, had also done this, and had already raised troops and called himself "Emperor Yangming", so how could the local officials not be vigilant -- they sent people to search for Liu Gen and bring him to the government office.
In the public court, Shi Qi questioned Liu Gen, saying that what skills do you have, and dare to confuse the people? If you have the ability, you can perform on the spot, if you can't perform, then there is only a dead end. Liu Gen said that I don't have any skills, but I can just make people see ghosts. Shi Qi said that then you will immediately recruit a ghost and let me see it with my own eyes.
Liu Gen immediately cast a spell, let out a long roar, and not long after, he saw Shi Taishou's dead father, grandfather, and more than ten other close relatives, all of whom appeared in front of the hall with their hands tied behind their backs, and kowtowed to Liu Gen, saying: "My child is ignorant, and the real sin deserves death." He turned his head and scolded Shi Qi: "You are a descendant, and you don't know how to protect your ancestors, but you humiliate the souls of the dead." Why don't you hurry up and kowtow and help us intercede!" Shi Taishou was frightened and sad, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head until his head bleeds, begging Mr. Liu, it is enough for you to punish me, let my ancestors go.
Liu Gen didn't speak, just made a random move, and then with a "BIU" sound, he disappeared with many souls in the hall.
After Zhang Miao finished speaking, he raised his hands and said What's the matter, this Mr. Liu is powerful enough - I used to know Shi Taishou's son as an old acquaintance, and this matter was inquired from his mouth, and there will be no fake.
The story was quite terrifying, and everyone in the tent listened to it, but they couldn't react for a while, but they gasped one after another. Liu Gen glanced at Zhang Lu obliquely, and said in his heart, how about it, the kid knows that it is powerful, this kind of method, with your practice in just a few years, how can you see through it, how can you learn it?
He didn't know that what Zhang Lu was thinking about at this moment was-
"****, you eight-lifetime ancestor of a ghost who lacks virtue!"
Cultivating immortals is a personal matter, it is normal to teach disciples, and it is a problem for the four parties to gather the disciples, not to take the opportunity to collect money, but to plot rebellion - there are Zhang Jiao, Zhang Xiu, Xu Sheng, for example, the government is vigilant and even takes people is a very normal thing. You should argue, you should perform, and according to what the story said at the end, it's not impossible to flash people directly, why do you want to play tricks to attract ghosts?
Since there are immortals in this world, are there ghosts? Zhang Lu also once asked Pei Xuanren a related question, and the answer he received was: "There are ghosts, but they are also extraordinary." ā
Zhang Lu translated Pei Xuanren's words, that is: The so-called ghosts are just the remnants of the consciousness of the deceased. It can be seen that the two are inseparable, only with the body can there be the mind, only with the life can there be sex, and only with the body can there be consciousness. When the consciousness dies, the physical body cannot be preserved, and it will soon decay, and when the physical body dies, the consciousness will not remain for long, first it will be fragmented, and then it will be reduced to nothing.
Of course, the physical body does not decay instantly, so theoretically speaking, the consciousness still has something to cling to, and then there will be a period of remnants. If, for some special reason, the fragments of this consciousness remain relatively large, and exist for a relatively long time, it may also interact with living people, which is what ordinary people call "ghosts". However, since it is a residue, it is impossible to have a relatively clear subjective consciousness, and although there are not many things about ghosts avoiding yang qi and tending to yin wind, possessing the body and harming people, it is true; if you want them to manifest themselves, and even enslave and manipulate them, although it is not the righteous path of the immortals, this kind of crooked evil art still exists.
But those who engage in this kind of crooked tricks must be charlatans, such as Liu Gen and Liu Junan in front of him. Zhang Lu looked down on these ghost jobs, but what was even more outrageous was that he actually enslaved Shi Tai to guard the souls of his relatives and came to kowtow and plead!
You must know that Shi Taishou has so many fathers and ancestors, it is impossible for all of them to have remnant souls in the world, and this remnant soul can still speak, recognize people, and kowtow and beg for mercy, this is definitely nonsense. Liu Gen is just playing illusions, it is estimated that he intercepted Shi Taishou's sporadic memories and conjured up phantoms to bluff people.
The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety and held the status of filial piety very high, and Zhang Lu's soul came from 2,000 years later, but he could not really agree with the common moral norms of the people in those years. But even after 2,000 years, honoring one's parents is also a virtue, and not dishonoring one's ancestors is the bottom line of morality.
Zhang Lu couldn't help but grit his teeth, and said in his heart: "Rat, I must give you a good look today!"

No, it's going to die. Gen said: "It's really no different, it's quite deceptive." He prayed, 'Urge him to be called so that he may see it, and it will be clear.' The root then looked left and howled, and there was a while, praying for dozens of close relatives of the deceased father and ancestor, all of whom were tied to the front, kowtowing to the root and saying: "The child has no form, and he will die." Gu Erqi prayed: "You are a descendant, you cannot benefit your ancestors, but you will be tired and humiliated by the dead!" 'Pray for fear and sorrow, and for the shedding of blood, and for sin of yourselves. The roots should not be, suddenly gone, and I don't know where to go. ā
