Chapter 7 Windfall from the sky, kneeling down to discuss the world

The two kowtowed like pounding garlic, and one of them said: "Don't you know this Taoist, in recent years, there have been natural disasters around Hanoi County, and there is no harvest in the fields, and it is difficult for us and other small people to survive." In addition, the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army spread here, and occasionally the Montenegrin Army came to rob, and the officers and soldiers suppressed bandits, and the war disasters continued! Who cares about the lives and deaths of ordinary people?

We people tighten our belts, and we have to eat at least one meal a day no matter how much we save, right? In the end, even that surplus food was exhausted, and the bark and grass roots were all eaten, and each other was fed up...... In the end, there are more than one out of ten people in each village, and there are floating corpses everywhere!

We were neighbors, and our family was starved to death before we were forced to join them in the evil. The two of us are only doing this to survive, and we are forced to join them...... Please be merciful and spare the lives of both of us! ”

Zuo Cidao knew that what these two people said was the truth, but if they let the two go like this, how would they live after they left? Aren't you going to starve to death here? Or continue to take risks and do those things that harm the township? Don't be after the death of those five bandit leaders, there are two more shrewd people, what's the point of killing people yourself? Then it's not saving people, it's harming people!

Mr. Blackhorn pondered for a moment before asking, "What are your two plans for the future?" If I let you go now, can you give me a promise that I will never do anything wrong in the future and be a good citizen honestly? ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and they had a look forward to their future lives, and they both knew that there was no way. And since this old way asks such a question, there must be a reason. Both of them were smart people, so they knelt on the ground together, kowtowed to Zuo Ci Daoren, and begged the Taoist to save his life and show the two of them a clear way!

Zuo Ci Daoist said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the two of you go and dig a pit and bury those five evildoers, and what is outside their bodies should be regarded as the reward of the two of you." When this is done, the two of you can go to the Land Temple to find us, and then the poor road will show you two a clear way. Whether you need guidance or not is up to you. ”

After the two of them bowed to Zuo Cidao again, they thanked them for their kindness, and then got up and went to find the five people. When Mr. Blackhorn saw them leave in a hurry, he said, "If you don't take the guys, how are you two going to dig a pit?" It's better to have a knife and fork they discarded than the sticks you carry, right? ”

The two men turned back and retrieved their knives and forks, and went over to check what was going on with the five leading murderers. As soon as the two of them got their hands on their pulses, they already knew that the five people had already died of anger at this time. The two of them first checked the bodies of the five people again and again, and after confirming that they were all dead, they began to search for the treasures hidden in the five people's bodies with peace of mind.

These people are outlaws who lick blood from the knife edge, and naturally they hide the most valuable things on their bodies. The five leaders, they never thought that the gold and silver treasures they had accumulated after so long of robbing the house would finally be cheaper for these two weak little brothers! In the end, this money really became the "coffin book" of the five of them.

The two of them placed all the valuable things they searched on their bodies separately, and in the end, after a rough calculation of the value, both of them were stunned. The two of them hurriedly found two coats, divided the treasures into two parts, and wrapped them in parcels, half for each person, and then began to dig a pit and bury the people.

In this cold and windy wilderness, even if they used knives and forks, the two of them had to waste all their strength to dig a big hole. The two really didn't have the strength to bury the five people separately, so they had to bury the five bodies together in this big pit.

The two of them did all this, and they were already tired and sweaty, and they were exhausted. The two of them sat in front of the grave to rest, each holding a package, and both laughing silly. The two sat in front of the grave and talked about life, saying that it was not easy to live in the first half of their lives, and that they had money in the second half of their lives, and they must live like a person.

Both of them hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to rush to the Land Temple together, find the Taoist chief, and ask for a bright way to settle down. The two of them thought about secretly leaving with the money, but they had experienced life and death, and even the living had eaten themselves. I also know that if you are not careful, no amount of money can save your life!

Sometimes, gold, silver and jewelry are even more life-threatening charms, which will lead to death. The good luck of the two of them came, and it was only with the blessing of the Taoist. Even if more than half of these money leaders have to be divided, as long as they can find a place for the two of them to settle down, it is much better than wandering outside now.

Zuo Cidao took Chen Yong and Liu Xing to the land temple again, where the charcoal fire was flourishing, and the house was roasted warmly. But the body odor of that group of homeless people is too great, and coupled with the lack of hygiene, the temple has been ruined. The three of them opened the doors and windows, cleaned up the pickles in the temple, and then sat down in front of the charcoal fire to rest.

Zuo Ci Daoist asked Chen Yong: "Young Master Liu, what are your plans in the future?" As you have seen just now, in this troubled world, there will be dangers of one kind or another at any time. You and Liu Xing are both difficult to protect themselves!

And what do you take to find your love? Ren Hongchang is good, the little girl is affectionate and righteous. But what about his father, Ren Ang? You have also seen his attitude, with your current situation, it is more difficult to marry his daughter than to ascend to the sky! ”

Chen Yong said: "The teacher is above, please accept the disciple's worship!"

As he spoke, Chen Yong knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zuo Cidaoren three times in a proper manner. Only then did he kneel down and get up and replied: "Grace Teacher Rongyu, the disciple and Hongchang have been married since childhood, and she can never leave her, how can I leave her first?" What's more, the teacher also said in front of everyone that the two of us have a lifelong marriage that needs to be resolved before I can follow you back to the mountain to cultivate.

Since this is a destiny of God, how can I go against the sky? Please also ask the teacher to understand the difficulties of the disciples and make it convenient for the disciples! The disciple knew that the master had the intention of saving the world and was willing to save all living beings in the world. However, the disciple heard that it was taboo for those who cultivated immortals to enter the world. In that case, how about asking the teacher to allow the disciples to do the work for them and save the people from fire and water? ”

The Zuo Ci Daoist's eyes suddenly flashed, and he stared at Chen Yong and asked, "Liu Yong, how can you see that I have the intention of saving the world?" What do you think of today? I know what I know. If you answer well, the poor road will help you, so that you can have the power to protect yourself in this troubled world. If not, why should I bother to do all this useless work? ”

Chen Yong knelt down and didn't get up, he looked at the Taoist chief and said: "The general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time." Over the weekend, the Seven Kingdoms divided and merged into Yuqin. After the destruction of Qin, Chu and Han divided and merged into Han. The Han Dynasty revolted from Gaozu's beheading of the White Snake and dominated the world. Later, after Guangwu Zhongxing, it was passed on to Emperor Ling.

The reason for the chaos began with the two emperors of Huan and Ling. Emperor Huan imprisoned the good and believed in eunuchs. and Emperor Huan collapsed, Emperor Ling ascended the throne, and the generals Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan assisted each other. From time to time, eunuchs Cao Jie and others seized power, Dou Wu and Chen Fan conspired to punish them, but they were not secret, but they were harmed, and Zhongjuan has become more and more horizontal since then!"

Zuo Cidaoren's face was happy, he didn't expect Chen Yong to see the facts so thoroughly, obviously he was knowledgeable. So he asked, "Yes, my disciples know my heart very well. Now it is falling apart today, and after the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army, the orthodoxy of the Han family is shaking. I look at the heavens, and the Spirit Emperor is also dying. After experiencing such a rebellion in which the lord is suspicious and his relatives are in power, what will the world become? Do you have foreknowledge? ”

Chen Yong replied: "Now Emperor Ling accepts the advice of Taichang Liu Yan, 'abolish history and establish a pastor'. is to hand over military and political power, these state pastors who are appointed by the royal family and important ministers are really the ministers who save the world? Will these new state pastors really take it as their duty to quell the incident? I can't see it, can I?

Most of them will only seek greater selfish interests, promote their close clansmen, and make the clan gate stronger and stronger, covering the sky with one hand! As a result, the formation of warlords in various places, including Taichang Liu Yan, basically no longer under the control of the imperial court after taking office. People everywhere are living in dire straits......"

Zuo Ci Daoist praised: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, disciple, it's really difficult for you, it is really commendable to have such insight at a young age." If the poor road can help you with your skills, how will you survive in this troubled world? ”

Chen Yong replied: "If the disciple can have a skill, he will definitely guard the border of this great Han and not be disturbed by foreign races!" In the war with foreign races, create a team of centaurs and become your own pro-army. With this rebel army, we can have the power to protect ourselves. Only then will there be a chance to save all the people from fire and water when the world is in turmoil! ”

Zuo Ci Daoren said movingly: "Okay, good, you have such ambitions at a young age, and you should also go through this troubled world!" As a teacher, I will spend a month to help you transform your body, so that you can have extraordinary abilities! It's just that if you want to make a difference in this troubled world, you still need the right time, place and people, and all three are indispensable! Even if you have Dao skills, you are still in danger of being wiped out......"

Chen Yong asked, "The teacher is above, why do you old man only want to transform my body?" And don't you want to teach me the Tao now? After a disciple has the Dao Fa, isn't it easier for him to fulfill his wish for you? ”

Zuo Ci replied: "False! After the self-proclaimed god list, the Dao method was only allowed to spread among cultivators, and was not allowed to be used in front of the world! It can't be used to stop killing and stop chaos! Zhang Jiao, who got the three-volume book of heaven "Taiping Yaoshu" handed down by Nanhua Lao Xian, died at the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising because he used Taoism indiscriminately and violated the rules of heaven!

Even if a cultivator must use Dao techniques, he can only use them for acts such as saving people, edifying people, and protecting himself, and cannot use them indiscriminately. If you want to save all the people from fire and water, you must first give up your self-cultivation before you can act. But if you don't have this mana as a teacher, how can you help the people in this troubled world?

If you are a teacher and teach you Taoism now, you can be regarded as a cultivator. Then in this troubled world, you have many restrictions, but you can't show your strength and display your life's ambitions. Including your marriage with Ren Hongchang, there will also be many restrictions out of thin air because of your Taoist skills. This is also the reason why the teacher can't teach you the Tao now, it's not that the teacher doesn't want to! ”

Chen Yong replied: "In that case, can the teacher help me to solve my doubts, is the general trend of the world going?" If the disciple gets the truth, he can also seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and achieve a great cause! ”

The Zuo Ci Taoist replied: "Now if the opportunity has been deceived today, even if it is a teacher, it is not accurate. What's more, the heavenly opportunity cannot be revealed, the cause and effect of what you do should be borne by you, and you can't help a lot as a teacher. If you are willing to give up the shackles of Ren Hongchang, you can follow the teacher into the mountains to cultivate, and you can naturally avoid this catastrophe, what do you think? ”

Chen Yong was about to answer, but he heard hurried footsteps outside the temple gate, and Zuo Cidao hurriedly asked Chen Yong to stand up......
