Chapter 8, three ghost drawings

Zhang Lu asked Pei Xuanren for a magic weapon, and Pei Xuanren couldn't help but be stunned: "What magic weapon do you need? Dinghaishen Needle? Mutton Fat Jade Pure Bottle? Seven-colored gourd? How can I have such a relationship with you?"

Zhang Lu spread his hands: "In this way, I want to kill me." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Two years ago, Dong Zhuo burned down the Luoyang Palace and coerced the Son of Heaven, Baiguan, and Li Shu to move westward. In fact, there was only one Kwantung Army that was really willing to risk death to advance, and Sun Jian was the only one, and after many hard battles, he finally defeated Dong Zhuo and entered Luoyang City, but then he couldn't survive and retreated to Luyang - then he was instigated by Yuan Shu to fight Jingzhou, and was shot dead by Sergeant Huang Zu in Daxian Mountain.

After the Kwantung coalition retreated, Dong Zhuo worshiped Yang Yi as Henan Yin and recovered Luoyang. The former Henan Yin Zhu Junben conspired with the Kwantung coalition army, and fled to Jingzhou after the incident, so far he made a comeback and forced Yang Yi back. But at this time, Luoyang City has become a blank land, and the surrounding counties are not in danger to defend, so Zhu Jun was forced to retreat to Dongmu. Dong Zhuo naturally refused to give up, and immediately sent Zhonglang to send Niu Auxiliary Governor Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and other generals to attack Zhu Jun, and the two sides fought fierce battles in Henan and Hanoi many times. Basically, it was the Dong Jiajun who had the upper hand, and Li Dao and Guo Yan even entered the two counties of Chenliu and Yingchuan for a time......

In short, Henan has been on the battlefield for more than two years, most of the cities are ruined, the fields are trampled, and the people are displaced...... If it is just a ruin, the problem is that both Dong Jiajun and Zhu Jiajun will still patrol and confront each other everywhere from time to time! Zhang Lu said that you will let me go to this dangerous place alone? You actually want to murder me!

Well, even if he is clever enough to avoid the guerrillas everywhere, he finally passed the battlefield safely and arrived at his hometown Mi County, where he could go to see Zhang Mink. The problem Zhang Mink is now also under Guo Yan's command, he doesn't have many soldiers in his hands, there are one or two hundred people, I will definitely not be able to deal with it-not to mention that Zhang Mink himself can also use demon methods. If I don't have one or two magic weapons by my side, how can I complete the task?

When Pei Xuanren heard this, he couldn't stop nodding, but he said in his mouth: "The magic weapon is there, and I can't give it to you." "He said that I haven't taught you the refining method yet, so you don't understand the truth-" It's not like the two cylinders of yin and yang, that is, a little demon can be used, and Sun Wukong can also cast spells. It seems to be a golden hoop rod turned into a needle by the sea god, and it is not available to Sun Wukong. "The magic weapon that everyone refines can only be used by themselves, and even if my magic weapon is lent to you, it is like a mortal artifact, and it will not help at all.

"I can teach children, but ...... 'starter suit'. ”

What Zhang Lu got was indeed a "novice suit", including a set of clothes, a long sword and three talismans. First of all, he unfolded it and took a look, hey, why is it so familiar......

That's the clothes he wore on the mountain, but because it wasn't suitable for cultivators, he had already taken it off, and now he was dressed the same as Pei Xuanren, wide and breathable, and the texture was just ordinary fine linen. Unexpectedly, Pei Xuanren still kept his original clothes from the Langguan era, and it seemed that the pulp had been washed clean, and it smelled like soaphorn instead of soaphorn.

But Zhang Lu stretched out his hand and pushed: "I don't want this." "It's inconvenient to move when you wear these clothes, if you really bump into Dong Jiajun and Zhu Jiajun head-on, you may not be able to run fast if you want to.

Pei Xuanren said with a smile: "If you don't have it easy to do this, then you will have nothing to do with three years of cultivation." "Your physique is very different now than when you went up the mountain, if you really want to fight with people, you don't have to jump up and down, kick high and stride wide, why are you afraid to wear this clothes?

Zhang Lu said Okay, I'll take it with me first, and then change it when I see Zhang Mink. Then I went to look at the long sword, and saw that it was a wooden leather sheath, and there was no decoration, so I drew the sword out of the sheath, but I felt that the cold light was shining, and the cold air was pressing, so I asked: "What kind of sword is this?

Pei Xuanren's face was solemn, and he immediately introduced: "This sword has not yet been named, and you can name yourself." It is to take the fine iron of Shannan, which is made by the craftsman in the east of the village, quenched by fire, and tempered by thousands of hammers. Its sheath is the skin of the three-year-old wild Yan in Lubei, and it is made of peach wood for ten years in the west of the house, and I cut it into a ......"

Zhang Lu pursed his lips and said in his heart, "You are talking about storytelling? I really shouldn't tell you about those classical novels such as "Journey to the West" and "Fengshen Bang...... Isn't this just a mortal soldier, and even made a ranking and battle...... "It's like this mortal thing, what's the use of wearing it?"

Pei Xuanren said of course it's useful, one is that you walk outside in a Lang suit, without a weapon, it's really unreasonable, and the other is that no matter how ordinary a soldier is, it's also a blade, so it's convenient for you to go down the mountain and then want to fight rabbits......

Zhang Lu had no choice but to put down the long sword for the time being and study the three talismans again. To say that this talisman looks even more shabby, it is not the yellow mounted paper used - Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty invented paper (at least after his improvement, the real practical paper appeared), until this time has not been able to really popularize, this mountain is indeed not easy to find good paper - but the mulberry bark that is three inches long and less than two inches wide, and it is not cinnabar that is used to draw those "ghost drawing talismans", it seems to be ...... Yellow mud?

Does this thing really work?

Pei Xuanren insisted that this was the strongest talisman in the mortal world that he spent endless effort and almost overdrawn his essence and blood, and he would definitely be able to use it-"One is an invisibility talisman, which is not a hidden shape, and it is silent and smelly, even the hound can't detect it; ”

Zhang Luxin said that I really taught you too much miscellaneous...... But it's also easy to communicate. It's just—"Why are there only three, maybe it's too little?" ”

Pei Xuanren raised his eyebrows: "Splash monkey, where to eat?" No, no!"

So Zhang Lu had no choice but to carry these three crude talismans down the mountain. He has been practicing in Zhongding for three whole years, although he has not yet learned any Taoism...... To be more precise, I haven't learned any "supernatural powers", but I feel that my limbs are light and healthy, and my leg strength is much stronger than in the past.

I stopped slightly, took a long breath, and looked around, but saw that it was already mid-autumn, and the boundless withered grass reached the sky.

Zhongding is extremely high, although the real altitude is just like that, after all, it is located in the low flat place of Zhongzhou, in the eyes of ordinary people, there is no difference with Huashan and Taiyue - in fact, as far as Zhang Lu knows, Mount Tai is not very high, the so-called "will be the top of the mountain, a glance at the mountains are small", but the surrounding are all short, this is just standing out. Above the middle tripod, the clouds and mist are shrouded, looking up at the sky, can indeed produce an illusion of "the hand can pick the stars", but it is precisely because of the fog that the sight is difficult and far on the horizontal plane, and the only thing to see is the high sky, and it is inevitable that the sigh of the "well frog".

But when you go down the mountain, it's different, it should have been Qianmo vertically and horizontally, but now it's probably a war, only to see the decaying grass, and the vision is greatly broadened. Affected by it, Zhang Lu's mood instantly became heroic and his spirit was smooth.

But this is only a feeling of one aspect, perhaps because the days of "staying" in the mountains have been too long, and I am a little at a loss when I come to the red world. Zhang Lu raised his hand and patted his chest, cheering for himself: You are not an ordinary person now, you have already stepped into the immortal path with one foot, even if you are not a heavenly immortal or an earth immortal, then at least you are a "master of the world", what is there to be afraid of? If you encounter danger, it is a big deal that you will first "escape", then "rest", and finally "steal" and escape......

But theoretically, it shouldn't be that far. He had already thought about it, so he would go to his hometown Mi County, meet his family and relatives first, inquire about the situation of Zhang Mink, and then sneak in stealthily, put the long sword on Zhang Mink's neck, and then open his mouth for interrogation. As for the sable that is said to be a demon artist, he has also prepared in advance, and he has asked Pei Xuanren for advice, I believe that it should not be difficult for the other party to temporarily seal his demon law for the time being.

Observe the red sun that will fall at the moment, determine the direction, and go all the way to the northeast. Jingmuro Mountain belongs to the Funiu Mountain Range, located in the southern part of Hongnong County, about 300 miles away from Luoyang. This road is usually not easy to walk, because there are many checkpoints on the road—for example, Luhun Pass, Yique Pass, and Dagu Pass—if there is no place to pass, even if he wears Lang Guan's clothes, he may not be able to pass the pass easily. However, in the past few years, Henan has been repeatedly attacked by soldiers, and most of the checkpoints have been abandoned, even if there are still soldiers stationed, the intensity of the investigation may not be great, with their current skills, they can steal it at night.

Moreover, at this time, Wang Yun and Lu Bu had already killed Dong Zhuo, and according to the original historical development, Li Dao and Guo Bi should go to besiege Chang'an. As long as Li and Guo leave, Zhu Jun has not been able to fill the vacancy quickly, and this Henan and Hongnong will be completely borderless, and they can be arbitrarily crisscrossed...... Alas, won't that Zhang Mink also follow Li and Guo to the west? It's not his fault that he will go down to the mountains to visit relatives and travel.

However, there is a common reason in the world: when you preset a variety of variables and plan various countermeasures, things tend to be presented to you in the simplest and clearest way, so that all your efforts are in vain - don't get me wrong, you may not succeed yet, because when you think about infinity, you tend to ignore the intuitive truth, and when you think of everything too simply, hey, the causality will twist and turn in a very unnatural way until you are exhausted......

Here, Zhang Lu had just come down the mountain, and Pei Xuanren was still sitting indoors, when suddenly there were ripples in the void in front of him, and then a figure appeared from nothing in an instant-it was his senior brother, Zhang Jian, who had become an immortal.

As soon as Zhang Jian appeared, he asked, "Has he gone down the mountain?" Pei Xuanren asked rhetorically: "If he doesn't go, where will you come from?"

Zhang Jian blinked, smiled faintly, and then sat down on his knees in front of Pei Xuanren, and let out a long breath, as if he was extremely tired. Pei Xuanren asked him: "You travel all over the world, and you have a fate, how much do you get?" Zhang Jian replied: "Stop three people's ears." ”

Pei Xuanren said I don't think you need to look for it anymore-"Earl Zhang's origin is strange, and I thought that the person who answered the prophecy was also." ”

Zhang Jian said that it is precisely because of this that I feel that I am not old and reliable - "The way of heaven is far away, and the will of heaven is subtle, even we cannot be fully observed." Only it is strange and inexplicable, or it is not really a person in this world, then the prophecy of this world, can it be answered? Now and the other go down the mountain, talk about it as a test ear, if the test fails, what can I do?" Stretched out the index finger of his right hand and pointed upward: "The heavens are embarrassed, and the heavens are urgent, so I have to exhaust the nine walls, so that the one who responds to the prophecy is also ......."
