Chapter 30: Three White Sparrows
Cao Cao refused to let Xuan Jian and Zhang Lu go, saying that you stayed with me for a whole night, and the truth in our army was probably all seen by you, and the big war was imminent, if you turned your head and ran to report to Yuan Shu, then I would definitely lose.

Xuan Jian was not happy, and retorted: "We entered Yuan's camp first, and we also saw the truth and the truth, and did not say a word to Cao Gong;
Cao Cao said with a smile: "If you don't tell Yuan Ying, you won't ask for me." If Yuan Highway doesn't ask yes, "He Yuan Shu doesn't have such a noble discipline as me, in case he wants to force you, can you really adhere to the moral bottom line and keep silent?"
Then he said to Zhang Lu with a pleasant face: "Mr. Zhang has the talent of latitude and earth, and he knows the world well, so he should be able to see my ......worries." Now there is Yuan Shu in the south, and the host road is plundered by many yellow scarves, although the monarch and others have Taoist skills, they do not have to go through this dangerous place. If you wait for the rear of the war, I will be able to break Yuan in three or five days!" he said and arched his hand towards Zhang Luyi: "If Mr. wants to do it, there is no way to stop it, but he can only mourn and plead." "I can't stop you if you really want to leave, so I can only beg you to stay with us for a few more days.
Zhang Lu has never eaten soft rather than hard, since Cao Cao is in this posture, he is not embarrassed to leave in a hurry. After discussing a few words with Xuan Jian at the moment, I had to stay in Cao Ying's camp for the time being-by the way, I will also see what the war was like in ancient times.
In the end, however, he did not get to see the battle with his own eyesβthe soldiers were running around in formation, east and west, south and north, and he was tired of watching. The key is that Cao Cao is confident that he will win, and he did not approach the front line to personally command, but only remotely controlled in the rear, Zhang Lu and Xu Jian followed Cao Cao, there are still more than ten miles away from the battlefield, and they don't have binoculars in their hands, no matter how good their eyesight is, on the Huaibei ground in this Ma Pingchuan, and it is not a high-altitude overlook, how can they see anything?
Cao Cao looked down on Zhang Lu quite affordably, and while assigning orders, what Yuan let go around to the east road, Miaocai broke through in the middle, Wen Qian tried to ascend first, and so on, and asked Zhang Lu when he was finished: "What does Mr. think?" Zhang Luxin said that you are asking Yu Blind, I know a fart...... Naturally, he couldn't express any opinions, but if he blindly flattered him, "Ming Gong's arrangement is very wonderful" or something, and he would lose his popularity. So he often twisted his beard and smiled, without saying a word, Cao Cao asked anxiously, and only replied: "This battle will be won, why should I say? Cao Gong can also make his own decisions." β
The large-scale decisive battle lasted for three days, and Yuan Shu finally couldn't support it anymore, and was completely defeated, and then gathered the remnants of the army to cross the Huai to the south. As soon as Zhang Lu heard that the overall situation of Runan was decided, he came to say goodbye to Cao Cao - I am really tired of pretending to be a master these days, and I still flashed early.
He originally thought that he could learn some spells such as calling the wind and rain, scattering beans into soldiers, etc., and then he could go down the mountain to compete in troubled times. If he had not changed his long-cherished will, he should have taken this great opportunity to praise Cao Cao's stinky feet and lay the foundation for hugging his thighs and relying on his strength in the future, but it is a pity that the appearance of "Zhen" forced him to advance the road of cultivation, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to mix with the red and earthly world -- if he does not ascend to the sky, he will never be destroyed; and once he really becomes an immortal, do I still care about the prosperity and misfortune of the world? I can see Cao Mengde's side, and my wish is enough.
Cao Cao took Zhang Lu's hand and comforted him - he probably regarded Zhang Lu as Zhang Liang's No. 1 person, although he also cultivated immortals, but he was more concerned about the chaos in the world. Zhang Lu was determined to stay this time, so he said to Cao Cao: "I am ordered by my master to go to Jiangdong, and I dare not disobey it." And must go through Huaishang, now Yuan Shu is newly defeated, can not consolidate the government of Huainan, if not early, catch its foothold, I am afraid it is difficult to carry out. β
You can find out that we have entered the Yuan camp, that Yuan Shu is not a complete ****, there must be spies in ambush in your camp, we have been here for several days, Yuan Shu will know sooner or later. If he has a firm foothold in Huainan, and we pass through his jurisdiction, it will be difficult not to be discovered by his people, and then Yuan Shu will definitely pull us over to ask for a clear understanding, then the matter will be more troublesome. So, you'd better hurry up and let us walk.
Cao Cao saw that he really couldn't keep him, so he had to summon Lou Gui, Ding Chong and others again, and put wine for the two of them. After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao sighed for a long time, saying that it was a pity that Mr. Zhang was devoted to cultivation and refused to assist me...... Now that the parting is imminent, do you have anything to say to me?
Zhang Lu pondered for a while, so he asked Cao Cao to take a wooden slip, a brush, and cinnabar, and picked up the pen to write down two red characters: "Weiji." Cao Cao asked him what he meant, and Zhang Lu smiled slightly: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, Cao Gong knows it for a long time." β
Cao Cao sent a small colonel named Xiahoulan to lead a sentry to escort Zhang Lu and Xuan Jian all the way to the east until they were sent to Ruyin, and then let the two continue east. He also sent two mounts and coiled entanglements, which was really much more generous than Yuan Highway.
The two crossed the Huaishui from the vicinity of Dangtu as planned, then turned southwest, crossed the river at Niuzhu, and arrived at Danyang County, which was regarded as setting foot on the ground of Jiangdong. The destination of this trip is in the southwest of Danyang County, where there is a narrow strip of northwest and southeast along Zhejiang, which just separates Danyang and Huiji Counties, and belongs to the jurisdiction of Fuchun County of Wu County. There was a high mountain on the west bank of Zhejiang, called Fuchun Mountain, and according to Zhang Jian's instructions, they had to go to Fuchun Mountain to find a monk first, and the other two helpers that Zhang Jian had found would also gather with them in the mountain.
Because of the delay of a few days in Cao Ying, Zhang Lu and Xuan Jian were the last to arrive at Fuchun Mountain. While asking for directions, he walked forward, and just came to the mountain pass, he bumped into a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was about forty years old, with a white face and a long beard, and a pair of shoes, so he smiled and arched his hand and asked, "Why is the second son here?"
Zhang Lu understood that this must be the master here, so he hurriedly returned the salute: "Sir, is it not a cloud tooth?" The Taoist priest nodded: "The servant is Wei Ao." β
Yun Yazi is the number of the road, his real name is Wei Ao, the word Boyang, and he is a native of Shangyu County, a member of the county. This Mr. Wei Boyang became very famous in later generations, and wrote "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed", as the ancestor of the Neidan faction - of course, Zhang Lu is not impressed - but he was just an ordinary hermit in these years, and it is estimated that some people have heard of his name in Shangyu and Fuchun here. In fact, his actual age is not much different from his appearance, he was born in the period of Emperor Huan, his father Wei Lang, one of the "Eight Jun" admired by the scholars, and later died in the disaster of the party. However, Wei Boyang had already gone into the mountains and cultivated before his father's accident.
At that time, Wei Boyang was still an uncrowned boy, and once he traveled to Fuchun and met a hermit, saying that he had a fairy fate and became a Taoist. Wei Boyang asked you what is the name and surname of the old gentleman? The other party smiled faintly: "I am Zhuang Guangye." β
Wei Boyang was shocked on the spot: "Mr. Fei Ziling?" After receiving a definite answer, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, expressing his willingness to obey the door.
Zhuangguang Zhuangzi Mausoleum was a famous hermit in Fuchun County, rarely famous, and Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu as a friend, later Liu Xiu became the emperor, many times sent people to invite old friends out of the mountain, but were politely refused. It is said that this duke died in his family when he was in his eighties, and Wei Boyang only knew at this time that the old man who dared to love was not dead, and he was still living in seclusion on the edge of Zhejiang.
- But to be honest, he won't be called Zhuang Guang at this time, and these two words shouldn't be pronounced at all. The reason is that after Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he asked his subjects to avoid his respect, and all those surnamed Zhuang changed their surnames to Yan from then on - so everyone in the world knows Yan Guang Yan Ziling, and those who read less will not understand who Zhuang Guang Zhuangzi Ling is.
Zhuang Guang not only lived in seclusion, but also cultivated immortals, but he failed to cultivate the immortal path after all, and he really hung up a few years after accepting Wei Boyang as an apprentice, at the age of two hundred and twenty-one. Since then, Wei Boyang, the son of Yunya, has relied on the classics and notes left by his teacher to cultivate the Tao on Fuchun Mountain alone.
Not long ago, he heard the sound of immortals in a dream, saying that several cultivators wanted to come to Wuhui to visit Nanhua Immortal Yuji, and they had to meet him here. After waking up, Wei Boyang pinched his fingers and calculated, knowing that this was true, not a wild dream caused by his mental disorder, so he hurriedly swept the couch and treated each other. After receiving Zhang Lu and Xuan Jian, he said that there were two more who had arrived a few days ago, so they were waiting in the house.
His seclusion is in the extremely deep realm of Fuchun Mountain, and the three of them walked for half a day before they arrived, only to see the green mountains forming walls, the stream gurgling, and several small grass houses built on the side of the stream. Zhang Lu and Xuan Jian couldn't help but admire, saying that the scenery of your place is really good, so it looks like a monk's cave - the two looked at each other, and said in their hearts that our teacher lives in the mountains and mountains, everything is good, but there is no stream, only a clear water well, which is a fly in the ointment.
The two of them had already left the grass house and treated each other beside the stream, so they greeted each other and reported their names. A young girl, who claimed to be a barbarian, was called Bai Que'er, and there was a young scholar, who said that she was from Linhuai Huaiyin, who followed the cultivation of Suishan Ruan, and her surname was Bu Mingjue.
Zhang Lu listened to the names of the two, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and said in his heart Sure enough, I knew that what Zhang Jian said in the sky that day was not true, and there were still cats in it!
Bai Que'er said that she was originally a Lingling barbarian girl, and she had a serious illness when she was a teenager, but fortunately an immortal master rescued her, and then took her to the Nine Doubts Mountain and followed Du Lanxiang to cultivate. Bu Jue said: "I, Uncle Bu will also ...... after taking it."
Uncle Bu took a character car, a native of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period, who once followed Confucius to learn Confucianism and was one of the seventy-two sages. The descendants of Uncle Bu, one of them settled in Huaiyin, and his household registration multiplied, and he was also a famous small landlord in the local area, and Bu Jue was the partial branch of this family. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion occurred, he was only sixteen years old at that time, his hometown was burned by soldiers, his relatives were separated, he fled south with his widowed mother, but he didn't go far, and his mother died of illness. His aunt planned to take him to Lujiang to live, and his brother Bu Qiu suggested that the yellow scarf had not crossed the river, so let's run to Jiangdong......
Zhang Lu listened to the two of them describe the appearance of the immortal master who led him into the door, he couldn't be wrong, it must have been Zhang Jian's stinging - it's not that Zhang Jian couldn't change his appearance, the problem was not necessary at all, he didn't expect that Zhang Lu would see the strangeness in it today. But it's hard to say, Zhang Lu is not stupid, as long as these children get up, how can there be a reason why they can't find suspicious points?
Zhang Jian once said that only a new generation of immortals can calm down the troubles, so he was ordered by the Heavenly Father to go to the mortal world to discover the seeds of cultivating immortals, and finally screened out the unqualified ones, and only three people were left - now they are all sent to find Yu Ji. In principle, these three people should not have anything else in common except for what they have in common, but when the three of them meet and exchange names, except for Bai Qi'er, who is still a little ignorant, Zhang Lu and Bu Jue, including Xuan Jian and Wei Boyang, who are watching from the sidelines, will feel that something is wrong.
Because the names of these three people are too similar!
In these years, there is no mature phonology, and the local dialects are also very mixed, but those scholars are from a few backgrounds, and those who have read books are generally familiar with the Central Plains Yayin.
The pronunciation of the word "white" in Bai Que'er is the same as the word "step" in Bujue; the word "Earl" in Zhang Luzi is similar to the pronunciation of the words Bai and Bu, except that the former is a voiced consonant, and the latter is a clear consonant. In addition, the words finch and jue can be used to fake each other, and they are completely homophonic.
To put it bluntly, there is almost no difference between the three words "White Sparrow", "Earl", and "Bujue", and you can't tell them apart if you don't distinguish them carefully.
Zhang Jian came down from the sky and searched for the immortal cultivation seeds that could be entrusted with the important task of determining the mortal world, and found the "white sparrow", don't you think this is strange?!
