Chapter 1 Morality
The cool breeze of midnight was blowing slightly, and a bright and extinguished bonfire was burning in the mountains. Two well-dressed little Taoist priests were looking at each other with sad faces.
"Master, you don't have any money on you, why would you let me buy this high-quality robe? Now that you and I are all penniless and poor, what will we use to eat and drink on the thousands of miles back to Langya Beppu, do we have to sleep in the wilderness like this every night?"
If you just look at the age, the older little Taoist priest is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and according to the rules, I am afraid that he has not yet left the school. The youngest one is only ten years old, and usually his parents are willing to send him to the monk's house, but this world is so strange.
Listening to the chilling cicadas and the wolf howling at midnight, Kang Mingyu turned his head, pretending to be indifferent, and kept rummaging the wood on the bonfire. The two masters and apprentices hadn't eaten for more than a day. Kang Mingyu's internal strength is deep, but he is still holding on. Ma Jia is the age of growing his body, and he is so hungry that he just wants to roll all over the ground. In his tone, he began to be disrespectful to the teacher.
"In the middle of the moon, the beast will inevitably begin to move. I'll go and shoot rabbits and wild boars, and we'll be hungry for our master and apprentice. Jia'er, don't complain about the road expenses, we entered Ezhou Road in the morning, and went to the government treasury to grab some gold and silver treasures, and the expenses along the way were enough. ”
was nagged by the apprentices, and Kang Mingyu, the master, was also very depressed. A few days ago, he ate and drank in vain in Lingxiao Palace and Aoki Peak in Baiyundu, and he was used to living for a while, forgetting that he had long lost his belongings. Although a few Dao Gate treasures in his hand should be worth a few silver taels, he won't sell them if he is killed.
"We are Taoist priests, alas! Although we don't have to be as old-fashioned as bald monks, we have nothing to do to kill and eat meat...... And rob the treasury of the government!"
Although Ma Jia was hungry and weak, he still stared at his master, hoping to regain his teacher's conscience and morality.
Kang Mingyu touched his body frankly and turned out the old bamboo chips. The small Qiankun realm made of the five-colored strange stones that the lieutenant gave him is like a treasure trove to carry around, and the lieutenant is a pedantic celestial, and the collection of books is extremely rich. It not only contains many scattered ancient scrolls of the pre-Qin period, but also the works revised by Wei Yu himself, and Kang Mingyu is most interested in "Nine Questions of the Common People"
"Morality asks, the so-called cangli knows etiquette. However, the Tao is life-oriented, supplemented by morality......"
Thinking of this, Kang Mingyu couldn't help but scold: "People should take care of their lives before they talk about morality, and people must live first so that they can be the carrier of moral existence." Stealing to fill your stomach is illegal, but it is also justified. However, if you give up morality in order to save your life, you are no different from a beast, and you will end up being just a villain. How can such a contradictory question be answered?"
Originally, Kang Mingyu wanted to use the moral questions of the nine questions of the common people to educate his stupid disciples. But this moral question is extremely difficult. There are virtuous people in the world, who do not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for their own ideas, and are respected as exemplary models in morality. There are also famous people who do not hesitate to be famous for the sake of righteousness, abandon personal morality, and help the world.
There are even fools who trap the people in the world in the name of morality, and do not hesitate to abandon the people for the sake of morality, so that the people of Li are in misery. There are also those who are corrupt in their own behavior and have no shame, but they take virtue lightly, and enrich the people and benefit the people.
There are also those who, in the name of themselves, abandon morality only for personal gain.
Wei Mi sprinkled thousands of words in every question, repeatedly compared, and gave examples to prove it. With Kang Mingyu's knowledge and knowledge, he is different from the world of the demon saint, and he is unable to explore the truth at all.
However, after reading Wei Yu's legacy, Kang Mingyu was even more firm in his thoughts. "Jia'er! Let's fill our stomachs first, sneak into Ezhou City at night, and those who achieve great things are not informal, and don't worry about a little moral defect. ”
Ma Jia was helpless against this little master, and said weakly: "Master beats people wisely, but your little apprentice is already starving to death, can Master put down his research and learn something, let's bake and eat it first." ”
Kang Mingyu turned his hand and put away the nine bamboo chips, and smiled. A black cord suddenly rose from his back. Kang Mingyu's mastery of the Soul Seal Book has recently made great progress, and this skill of Ten Thousand Souls Yin Suo has just been practiced, so he will use it to test his hand.
There are countless yin souls in Kang Mingyu's body, and the condensed ten thousand souls yin suo hula pierces through the forest and the land, and under the urging of Kang Mingyu's divine thoughts, it has grown hundreds of zhang away in the blink of an eye. It happened that the four hooves of the startled yellow musk deer spread out and ran past, and with a rush of Kang Mingyu's mental power, Wan Soul Yin Suo suddenly tied up this prey solidly. Volleyed to roll back.
As soon as Ma Jia saw the master's move, the little Taoist priest who was so hungry that he was about to crawl on the ground immediately became energetic. Drawing out the Qingqi Ancient Sword with his backhand, he has to cut the prey with his hands.
Whether it is Kang Mingyu or Ma Jia, neither the master and apprentice have any experience in picnics, and they don't know how to prepare this yellow musk deer. Ma Jia's long sword flashed, and the yellow musk deer had already been cut into ten ** pieces before it fell to the ground. With Kang Mingyu such a master, Ma Jia's swordsmanship is gradually growing, and this swordsmanship of cutting yellow musk deer has a faint first-class master posture.
Without waiting for Kang Mingyu to speak, Ma Jiateng jumped up and turned around, the sword light of Qingqi spread out in all directions, and countless branches were cut and fell to the treetops by him. Retracting his sword, Ma Jia's robe flicked, and a whirlwind formed by suction swept all the branches in front of him. This hand-incorporating recipe from the Four Spirits Exorcism Sword is also just right for him to use to collect materials.
As soon as his toes touched the ground, Ma Jia was already impatient to grab the thick and straight branches, insert a piece of yellow musk deer's leg meat and roast it on the fire. After Ma Jia sat cross-legged, he found that Kang Mingyu had five or six branches in front of him, and a larger piece of yellow musk meat was inserted on each one, and his salivating appearance was even more unbearable than him.
While barbecuing meat, Ma Jia praised in his heart: "Master is Master, much faster than my apprentice." ”
The two masters and apprentices barbecued meat in a muffled voice, and Kang Mingyu saw that although his few pieces were very big, they were connected with broken fur and bones in some places, which was quite unappetizing. Then he took out the stone knife, and with a wave of the knife, he cut all the places that could not be entered.
The stone sword itself is already a superb divine weapon, and its power increases after attaching the stone spirit to it. Although it is slender and small, it is by no means a utensil that should be used for barbecue, waking up from a deep sleep, feeling that he is being used as a dinner knife by his master, Shi Jian protested indignantly: "The knife also has its own dignity, I am not the kind of broken copper and iron, master, you are too big and useless, right?"
Shi Yan reminded him, Kang Mingyu's eyes turned, and he had another idea. In his hand, he has sixteen star flags, and those with the surname of fire have been collected. Kang Mingyu shook his hand casually, and the fire monkey divine flag turned into a red light and fell to the ground.
"You and I are too stupid, what are you doing with this baby?" Thinking of having this treasure in his hand, Kang Mingyu was very excited.
The firepower of the fire monkey god flag is so strong, Kang Mingyu suppressed the power of the god flag, it is still much more vigorous than the bonfire, only a few pieces of yellow musk meat, but in the blink of an eye, it is ripe.
Originally, he wanted to increase his protest, but Kang Mingyu even used the twenty-eight constellation flags to spoil it, Shi Jian suddenly felt that the future was dark, Yuan Ling fell silent, and let Kang Mingyu use himself casually and never speak again.
Ma Jia risked being burned, and first tore a piece of yellow musk meat and put it in his mouth, although the food sizzled haha, but it was also fragrant, and his mouth was full of oil. Swallowing a piece of the stomach, Ma Jia smacked his lips, and said unsatisfied: "It's a pity that there is no saltiness, and there is no seasoning." If you have a little more chili foam, pepper, spices, and shiitake mushrooms, it will be even more delicious. ”
In a word, after a bite, Ma Jia is still quite satisfied with the food that finally has food in his stomach.
Kang Mingyu thought about this wish of the apprentice for a while, and felt deeply guilty. Although his martial arts are strong, his Taoist attainments are not enough to match. Although he has advanced to the real position and his Dao power has greatly improved, he is only proficient in the powerful spells of killing people and injuring people, subduing demons and subduing ghosts. Not much has been studied in practical spells such as porterage. Otherwise, it would be enough to carry some food and goods thousands of miles away, so why bother and have to do it yourself.
Kang Mingyu's master and apprentice settled here, and barbecued meat around the fire monkey flag. An extremely tragic battle was taking place on the ground for dozens of miles nearby.
Ezhou is under the jurisdiction of Huguang Xingzhongshu Province, and it is under the jurisdiction of Ezhou and other 30 roads, three prefectures, 15 pacification divisions, three armies, and thirteen prefectures. However, the territory of the Yuan and Mongolian Dynasty was too vast, and almost every province in the province had great authority and could mobilize troops and horses on its own.
Both sides of the battle were Mongol cavalry. One side has bright armor, and at first glance it is the personal soldier of the prince and noble. On the other side, it seems that the armor is all mixed together, but there are many people, killing intent, and they are also well-trained iron horses.
The unkempt cavalry was clearly the main attacker, and had besieged the sharply armored side on a small dirt slope and launched a cavalry assault in turn. The Mongolian general who led the troops smeared his face with thick yellow mud obviously did not want to reveal his identity.
Although it occupies a favorable position, the morale of the side with clear armor is getting lower and lower. A pale-looking young man in the army was obviously already the chief general of the army, but he did not command the army at all, and just left his subordinates to organize resistance on their own.
Watching the soldiers around him fall one by one, the pale young man seemed to be sluggish, muttering to himself, as if he was already preparing to die. "Tutimur, you still refuse to let me go, you poisoned my father and the emperor, and you just took the Great Yuan country. I just want to spend this life in peace, don't you worry? Do you have to kill us all?"
The pale young man said and spoke, tears flowed for a long time, and his cowardly surname was undoubtedly exposed. The soldiers who followed him, under the influence of the main general, although they resisted desperately, the brilliance in their eyes was getting weaker and weaker, and they had no idea of survival.
However, none of these Mongol troops, even if they knew that they would die, retreated. Because they all know that whether they retreat or surrender, the other party will not let them go, this is a premeditated attack. I will never let their group get away with any of them.
Lie Ge, who was hidden in the army, said that although his face was radiant, although he was seriously injured in the battle with Kang Mingyu, but under the concentrating recuperation, his martial arts had all returned to his old outlook. He went out of Beijing this time, not only to investigate the movements of the Great Dharma King, but also to eradicate the remnants of Yuan Mingzong.
At that time, Emperor Wenzong and Yuan Mingzong competed for the throne, although Yuan Wenzong Tutimur won a great victory in the first battle, but still could not uproot the power of Yuan Mingzong. Seeing that the rest of the princes were about to move, Yan Timur, the privy councillor who supported Yuan Wenzong, set up a poisonous plan, showing that Wenzong would declare that he would give up the throne and welcome Yuan Mingzong to Dadu to succeed to the throne. Yuan Wenzong himself pretended to abdicate the throne and went to meet Yuan Mingzong with Yan Timur, and poisoned Mingzong on the way to restore the throne.
Although Yuan Wenzong sat firmly on the throne of Emperor Yuan, the elite soldiers and fierce generals under the command of Yuan Mingzong refused to surrender. Although he was unable to resist Yuanzong, he refused to be satisfied with the status quo in private, and secretly welcomed Yuanmingzong's eldest son, Tu Timur Hui and Lin. Intended to contact the Great Khan, the prince of the Mongol tribes, to raise an army to rebel.
However, if Yuan Wenzong could let this kind of thing happen, his emperor would be in vain. Tashi Zong, the great master of the Great Yuan State, who was aware of this, had already secretly sent an army to rob and kill Tutimur here.
There are 5,000 elite soldiers around him, and he has lost most of them in battle, and now he has less than 2,000 men and horses around him. The army that came to attack was the 6,000 cowardly Xue army led by Lie Ge privately. As Emperor Yuan's personal soldiers, the cowardly Xue army was brave and superior to the three armies, and it was known as the strongest army among the Mongolian people.
Liege said that in order to do things safely, he also borrowed 10,000 cavalry from the governor of Ezhou. Regardless of the number of troops or the elite strength of the two armies, it was Liege's men and horses who had an absolute advantage.
In order to hide his identity, Liege said that he did not dare to bring the golden gun with him, but he was confident that even the saber in his hand was enough to cut off the cowardly and incompetent head of Tu Timur.
When the two armies fought, the men and horses neighed wildly, and the frightened birds had already shown the tragedy of the conquest here.
"Master, why do the Mongols here kill each other?
After eating their stomachs, Kang Mingyu and Ma Jiadeng were in good spirits, both of them were not very satisfied with sleeping in the wilderness, so they planned to break into Ezhou City at night, first robbed the gold and silver of the treasury, and then occupied the mansion of a large family, first rested for a while and then slowly hurried.
But the shouting and killing sound here has an incomparably tempting power for this curious master and apprentice. Kang Mingyu thought to himself, like thousands of troops, he could kill it ten in and ten out. Ma Jia is even more curious about the baby. The master and apprentice were so bold to touch and watch the battle.
Although Kang Mingyu also wondered why these Mongol troops would kill each other, he was more knowledgeable than Ma Jia after all, and after a while, he observed carefully for a moment, and said lightly: "Look at the white-faced boy in the besieged army, the color of the clothes on his body is obviously extremely noble. I guess it's either a prince or a nobleman, or a first-class high-ranking official. This must involve Meng Yuan's internal entanglements and struggle for power and profit. Let's just watch from the sidelines, and we don't have to deal with them. ”
Although Ma Jia was curious about the origin of these two armies, there was still a lot of resentment between Meng and Han at that time. The Lingxiao Palace, where he was born, was privately a training base for anti-Yuan scholars. Countless masters in the palace have devoted themselves to the major anti-Yuan forces, and under the influence of their ears and eyes, they have killed the two Yuan armies by themselves, only feeling schadenfreude, and they have no idea of helping the weak and the strong.
Although the master and apprentice are bold, their behavior is very arrogant and not cautious enough. Liege said that he waved his army to fight here, so he naturally sent a small group of cavalry to patrol the surroundings, so as not to let unrelated people and others approach the battlefield.
In order to see clearly, Kang Mingyu picked a high slope, and found the tallest towering giant tree, and jumped into it to see with relish. Ma Jia was beside him, hugging the trunk. Looking at the master's snow-white robe fluttering in the wind, it was very magnificent, and he admired this master even more in his eyes, but he didn't expect how gunny Kang Mingyu's water cloud robe was in the dark night.
As early as miles away, the patrolling Yuan soldiers had already seen the existence of the master and apprentice.
"These two barbarians dare to be so ostentatious, they are really impatient. ”
The commander of the ten soldiers has always been known for his bravery, but he didn't expect that these two stupid Taoist priests, since they dared to peep so blatantly, they must have some self-control. He led his subordinates straight to think about the dirt slope where Kang Mingyu's master and apprentice were and rushed over. Before the person could get closer, he had already bent his bow and arrows and shot at Kang Mingyu.
The Mongol cavalry had grown on horseback since childhood, and the ability to shoot arrows on horseback was as easy as dressing and eating. This ten-master is extremely confident in his archery skills, and Kang Mingyu's snow-white robe is an extremely obvious target, and he is convinced that his arrow will definitely shoot down this Taoist priest who does not know whether he is alive or dead.
Without the orders of this ten-division commander, this group of fierce Mongolian cavalry has already set up arrows.
Kang Mingyu originally saw this group of Mongolian cavalry breaking into his eyes, but he didn't care. It wasn't until the other party shot him with an arrow that Kang Mingyu came back to his senses: "Isn't our master and apprentice too ostentatious? This Mongolian cavalry has already seen our master and apprentice. ”
Seeing this team of Mongolian Qing soldiers, Kang Mingyu thought of introspection, Ma Jia had already known how careless his master was, so he hurriedly turned over and got off the tree, abandoned his master, and ran away first.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, his five fingers opened, and Kang Mingyu seemed to be completely unconcerned, and easily grabbed the long arrow shot in front of him in his hand. Seeing that Ma Jia was so obedient, Kang Mingyu didn't bother to entangle with these Mongolian cavalry, and with a snap of his index finger, the long arrows that were collected were ten times more fierce than those coming from, and he roared and reflected.
"Since you have discovered this Dao Master, you can only be considered unlucky. Leave me my life here. ”
Khan! Five o'clock will lift the ban on another chapter. Two chapters are lifted today.
