Chapter 5 Huangshi Gong passed on the secret technique, Zhang Zifang went to the East China Sea
Zhang Liang knelt down in front of Huang Shigong and wept loudly.
After three years of getting along day and night, he watched Huangshi Gong aging day by day at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at this time, he had long since lost the look on the Yishui Bridge of the past.
Back then, the teacher asked him to pick up his shoes under the bridge, and he also had complaints in his heart, but he kept holding back.
But it is this kind of forbearance that has achieved such a master-apprentice relationship.
Huang Shigong patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and said, "As a teacher, I watch the sky at night, and I know that chaos in the world is imminent." As the saying goes, the times make heroes. The more chaotic the world, the more heroes and heroes will come forward without fear of hardships and dangers. ”
"Disciple remembers the teacher's teachings."
Huang Shigong handed a scroll of bamboo slips to Zhang Liang and said, "There is nothing else in this life for a teacher except these scrolls. This was carefully written for the division and was named "Huangshi Gongluo". Although the teacher is not on the temple for a day, he always remembers the people in the world. ”
Zhang Liang took the book, like a treasure. This is the teacher's life's work, but he does not hesitate to give it to himself, obviously he has high hopes for himself.
He couldn't wait to look at it, and found that this book is divided into three strategies, the upper one is based on "setting rewards, don't commit adultery, and focusing on success or failure", based on "soft ability to control the strong, weak ability to control the strong", to win the hearts of the people as the center, and to capture the enemy with the virtuous as the purpose, expounding the law of governing the country and the army.
On the premise of "bad morality, judging power changes", "Zhongluo" discusses the strategy of the monarch to control the generals.
On the premise of "Chen Daodao, checking the safety and danger, and clarifying the blame of thieves and virtuous people", the "Omitted Below" expounds the principle of governing the army and unifying the army.
Huang Shigong was very pleased. His lifelong knowledge has finally been inherited.
If it weren't for the fact that he was entangled in important matters, and the master-apprentice relationship had been exhausted, he would not have made a decision to drive all the disciples away.
Huang Shigong took out a roll of bamboo slips from behind him and said: "The first three rolls of bamboo slips are all written by the old man, and they can only be regarded as the words of a family. And this fourth volume is left by the sages, and it is a real treasure. ”
Zhang Liang took the book, and saw that there were four words written on it, "Taigong Art of War". The person who wrote the book was Jiang Ziya, who assisted King Wu of Zhou to achieve great things.
He didn't expect that the works on the art of war, which had disappeared for nearly a thousand years, would always be in the hands of the teacher.
And the teacher, he actually gave up this treasure in the world to himself, what kind of kindness is this?
"Teacher........" Zhang Liang said with tears in his eyes.
Huang Shigong stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said: "This book is a strange book that has passed through the heavens and latitudes, and the practitioner can be the teacher of the emperor. ”
"Thank you, teacher."
"I don't give you this book for the sake of my teacher. It is to choose a Wang Zuozhicai who can change the world for the people of the world. Huang Shigong said.
"The disciple will never live up to the teacher's teachings, and he will definitely change a new world for this world, and seek a new way out for all the people in this world." Zhang Liang said excitedly.
"As a teacher, he and Canghai Jun on the coast of the East China Sea are old friends, and he has been invited several times, but he can't get out as a teacher. Now he wants to invite him again, you and Mo Negative, instead of being the teacher, go to the East China Sea to make amends to Canghai Jun on behalf of the teacher. ”
Huang Shigong handed over a token to Zhang Liang and said: "This is a token of Canghai Jun, and it is unimpeded to go to the coast of the East China Sea with this thing." ”
"The disciple obeys."
Zhang Liang took the token, only to see that the token was made of dark iron, which was unusually heavy. The shape of the sun carved on it is supposed to be the totem of a tribe in the East China Sea.
On the back of the token are a few crooked words, perhaps too old to be mottled and illegible.
Zhang Liang put away the token and the book, he didn't know where the teacher was going in the future, and he didn't know if he would be able to see each other again in the future.
With tears in his eyes, he asked, "If the disciple misses the teacher, where should he go to find it?" ”
"You don't have to worry about being a teacher. Thirteen years later, when you go to the economic Beigu Castle Mountain, you will meet a yellow stone, which is the transformation of the teacher. At that time, you and I, master and apprentice, can also meet again. ”
Zhang Liang couldn't believe that this parting turned out to be an eternal secret. He knew that the teacher must have his own reasons for doing this.
I also know that the teacher must have his own reasons for not telling him. The teacher is a worldly master, and his style of action is naturally different from that of the world.
Huang Shigong stopped talking, and Zhang Liang also retreated with interest. As soon as he walked out of the hut, he saw Xu Mozhi looking at "The Secret of the Heart" intently.
Even Zhang Liang didn't even notice when he approached, Zhang Liang patted her shoulder and said softly, "Senior sister......"
Xu Mo was fascinated by it, and suddenly felt that someone was talking, so he was naturally startled, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that it was Zhang Liang, and after giving him a blank look, he continued to look at the content on the bamboo slip.
Zhang Liang saw a line of small characters written on the bamboo slip, so he whispered: "The sky is dark, who is responsible?" Those who are close to each other have discerning eyes. The crowd rises, and the world is in chaos. Be cautious and help Junxian. ”
Xu Mozhi saw him peeking at the contents on the bamboo slip, so he immediately closed it.
But he didn't know that Huang Shigong had cast a secret technique on the bamboo slips, and the contents on the bamboo slips could only be seen by the selected people.
All Zhang Liang could see was the small words at the beginning of the article. Zhang Liang took the bamboo slips he got to Xu Mozhi again, but it was still blank.
Only then did they know that the teacher was teaching students according to their aptitude by doing so. The two senior brothers can carry forward the art of carving, and the two of them, one learns physiognomy, and the other can be the king's teacher.
The two were discussing enthusiastically, but they didn't notice that the hut where Huang Shigong lived had already caught fire inexplicably.
By the time they found out, it was already full of smoke, and the thatched hut where Huang Shigong lived was about to burn down.
It took a lot of effort for the two to put out the fire, but they did not find Huang Shigong.
Zhang Liang sighed and said, "Teacher... It's really well-intentioned.... ”
Xu Mozhi immediately understood and said: "The teacher is afraid of you and me, and he is unwilling to leave this thatched hut where he has lived for three years, and wants to cut off the back road of you and me?" ”
Zhang Liang nodded and said, "From this moment on, the teacher is really a hermit, alone and without worrying. You can follow the example of Zhuangzi and send affection between the mountains and rivers. ”
"When the teacher leaves, where should you and I go?" Xu Mozhi said, his words full of loneliness.
"The teacher ordered you and me to go to the East China Sea to attend a banquet for him."
When Xu Mozhi heard this, he was overjoyed. He heard that there was an immortal mountain above the East China Sea, and he had long wanted to go and see it, but now he could finally get what he wanted.
Zhang Liang opened the box given to him by Song Tianhao, and inside was the coil given to them by the two senior brothers.
Zhang Liang looked at the thatched hut that had turned to ashes, and his heart was full of emotion. From then on, he became the rootless tree again, the water without the source. Just like back then, floating in the world.
Huang Shigong disappeared into the sea of fire, and he didn't know what to do. And his apprentice is about to shine in this heaven and earth, just as he expected.
Zhang Liang and Xu Mozhi are about to go to the East China Sea to meet Canghai Jun. They are strange people, and this trip to the East China Sea is full of strange things.
It is rumored that there are three immortal mountains in the East China Sea, and the first emperor once sent Xu Fu to lead three thousand boys and girls to the sea to seek immortals, but they never returned.
Since ancient times, the East China Sea has become a dividing trend, and the Chinese emperors are busy with conquests, and they can't care about the sea, and even the heavens can't check and balance.
Therefore, above the East China Sea, the waves are endless, and the waves are not extinguished. For hundreds of years, no one dared to set foot in the East China Sea.
At the seaside ferry, there is not a single fishing boat in sight. The huge East China Sea is uninhabited and unusually desolate.
Against the backdrop of the sound of the raging waves and the thunderstorm, a pair of young boys and girls slowly walked towards the shore.
The young man was dressed in white, with a long sword on his back, and he was indescribably chic. The girl was dressed in purple, with a hexagram hanging from her waist, and her demeanor was endless.
The two of them were Zhang Liang and Xu Moying, who went to the East China Sea to make an appointment, and when they heard that they were going to the East China Sea, they were full of interest.
But when he saw the vast ocean in front of him, there were no ships on the shore. I can't help but feel melancholy in my heart, and I don't know how to go to sea.
Zhang Liang took out the token given to him by the teacher and looked at it carefully. For some reason, the sun on top of the token became unusually dazzling.
The sea was calm in an instant, the dark clouds in the sky also dispersed, and the sun shone on the earth again.
As the sunlight grew more intense, a ray of light refracted from the token and soared into the sky. As the light dimmed, the token returned to its previous appearance.
About half an hour later, the big bird was hovering in the air, and as it landed on the ground, the two of them saw that it was a three-legged crow.
What's even more surprising is that this crow turned out to be golden. It can breathe flames from its mouth, which is terrifying.
He was followed by a winged stranger. This person's figure and appearance are undoubtedly the same as ordinary people, except that there is an extra pair of wings under his ribs.
As the strange man fell, the wings miraculously disappeared. The body shape has also returned to the appearance of ordinary people, but the face is still sharp-beaked monkey gills, like thunder shocks.
The strange man stepped forward and said to the two: "On the orders of the King of Canghai, please go to the Ten Days Kingdom and go to the East China Sea for a grand event. ”
Then the strange man said something to the sky that he didn't understand, and before he could finish speaking, Jin Wu fell down and landed in front of Zhang Liang.
This golden crow is several feet tall and looks like a hill from a distance. From time to time, flames erupted from the Golden Crow's mouth, powerful enough to burn people to ashes.
Zhang Liang hesitated for a while, bold, and lay on Jin Wu's back. Stretching out his hand towards Xu Mocheng, Xu Mozhi walked up tremblingly.
With a long cry of the golden crow, the wings flapped slightly, and then rose in the wind, soaring straight into the sky.
The Golden Crow led the two to a nameless island. The people of the island wore ancient costumes, using animal skins as their clothes and stones as utensils.
With the fall of the golden crow, Zhang Liang and the others also landed smoothly. A well-dressed middle-aged man bowed his hand to the two and said, "This monarch leads the subjects of the island to greet the two high-ranking disciples of Huangshi Gong. ”
As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, hundreds of people swarmed out, lining up on both sides. He began to cheer and speak in some language he didn't understand.
The Ten Days Country is a small island, just a small island with a radius of dozens of miles. The people of the island are very simple, and they are all excited to see them coming.
Although Zhang Liang didn't understand the language with them, he could feel their enthusiasm.
Zhang Liang pointed to the golden crow hovering over the island and said, "The younger generation heard that the Ten Days Country was the place where the top ten golden crows lived back then, could this bird be it?" ”
Canghai Jun smiled indifferently and said: "The ancestor of my Ten Days Kingdom, with the sun god as the ancestor, and the three-legged golden crow as the totem. After Dayi shot down nine golden crows, only the last golden crow remained, and he fled back to the East China Sea in a hurry. ”
"According to the predecessors, these golden crows are the descendants of the sun god?" Zhang Liang asked.
"The Ten Golden Crows were born to the Emperor of Heaven and the goddess Xihe, who could emit dazzling divine light and shine on the earth, and were ancient gods. And these offspring of the Golden Crow were born to other birds when they saw the fall of their other brothers and fear, and although they had no appearance, they had only two legs. Although it can breathe flames from its mouth, it is not comparable to the light of the sun. Canghaijun said with a sigh.
Xu Mozhi said: "Xi and the great god were born for ten days, and Chang Xi was born for twelve months, so it turned out that it was true. ”
Canghaijun said: "People all over the world are willing to blame those incomprehensible things on myths and legends, but who knows that these legendary things have actually happened. ”
"You're also a descendant of the sun god?"
"We and the people are all servants of the sun god, and the golden crow is the most powerful divine beast in our country, and only when we welcome the most honorable guests will we work on it."
Canghaijun took the two of them and said as they walked. He knows that Huang Shigong is a person, and those who can be accepted by him as an apprentice must be a masterpiece in the world.
On the way to the temple, passing by a pond, Canghai Jun said: "This place is called Gan Yuan, and it was here that the great god Xihe gave birth to ten golden crows. Later, he was afraid of the laziness of the golden crow, and the world would lose its light, so he drove the sun god car across the sky, and every lap was a day. ”
Xu Mozhi said: "It turns out that parents are like this. Even the gods are no exception. ”
Then he pointed to a big tree that had long died in the distance and said: "This tree is called the Fusang Sacred Tree, and the ten golden crows of the year inhabited here." Later, Jin Wu was awarded the Sun Star Monarch, and the Heavenly Court set up a mansion for it to establish the Star Monarch's Mansion, which was abandoned here. The towering tree is also dying. ”
Zhang Liang and Xu Mozhi looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that the Fusang Divine Tree was towering into the clouds, and it had the potential to connect the heavens and the sun.
Canghaijun explained: "In ancient times, the branches and leaves of this tree were connected to the heavenly court, and the roots and veins were connected to the underworld. The immortals of our clan often climb to the top and watch the heavens. But as the sky got higher and higher, the tree gradually withered, and there was no shortcut for mortals to go to heaven. In addition to climbing the ruins of Kunlun, you can only enter from the four heavenly gates. ”
Zhang Liang and the two of them have gained a lot of knowledge on this trip. Xu Moying was even more ecstatic. She is different from Zhang Liang, except for the land of Hanoi, which is Xiapi who lives in seclusion with her teacher. The rest of the place, she had never been.
The scene in front of me is really unprecedented. The most important thing is that they have heard so many strange things and have seen the Fuso Sacred Tree with their own eyes.
"Huang Shigong and the old man are close friends, and his knowledge and prestige, the old man thinks so. The two of them are both Huangshi Gong's tall feet, and they are not ordinary people in comparison. Today is the grand meeting of the countries of the East China Sea, once every ten years, not only the countries of the East China Sea send people to participate, but also many high-ranking people attend the meeting. Canghaijun said.
With that, he invited the two to the Temple of the Sun. Although this sun temple also has the ancient relics, but the decoration is extremely gorgeous, the whole hall is splendid, dazzling.
In the middle is enshrined the god seat of the Sun Star Monarch, and the subordinates of the Sun Star Monarch are split on both sides, they are the Fang Ri Rabbit, the Mao Sun Chicken, the Void Sun Mouse, and the Star Sun Horse in the 28 constellations.
This hall was already full of guests, and after the two of them sat down, Canghai Jun pointed to the two and said: "You have worked hard, and this gentleman has not been able to welcome you from afar, please forgive me..."
Before Canghaijun's words fell, he saw a sudden change in the wind and clouds in the sky, lightning and thunder, under the support of a burst of thunder and lightning.
I only heard someone in the air say: "Such a grand event, no one told me that I wanted to come to the countries of the East China Sea, but I didn't take my Dragon Palace in my eyes." ”
