Chapter 2: The Beginning of the Yellow Turban
"Zhang Sixian, do you know how to write an apprenticeship post?
"No, it won't. β
"Are you literate?"
"I didn't learn. β
"Then today I will teach you to read and write. β
"Good. β
......
Zhang Jiao picked up his bags and walked into the blacksmith shop.
"Zhang Qiwen, help me cast a weapon, this is the salary and drawings, and the blade must be made of my materials, and the handle of the knife is inlaid with gold wire wood and covered with dark iron. β
"Meng Ling, do you want to make a pair of scissors?" Zhang Qiwen looked at the drawings with some confusion.
"This is my strange weapon that has not passed the disciple, and the inscription slot on it must be kept for me, and the inscription must be poured into it. β
"Tut, Meng Ling, I didn't expect you to be so generous, you must know that you have begged for this piece of extraterrestrial meteorite for ten years, and you have not been willing to give it to me, I don't want your share of wages, just take it as a celebration of your harvest." β
Time flies, and nine days pass quietly.
Outside Zhang Jiao's pharmacy was very lively, and the neighbors gathered to talk to each other. Zhang San walked from the backyard to the front hall step by step, aimed at the portrait of the patriarch hanging in the hall, lit three pillars of incense, knelt on the ground and bowed, and then inserted it into the incense burner.
Then he knelt down to Zhang Jiao, who was in the main seat, and bowed down the three buckles, took the tea in Zhang Bao's hand and handed it to Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao took a sip with a smile, and then took the apprenticeship post.
"After worshipping under my disciples, remember not to be greedy, to study diligently, never to let lazy roots entangle your mind, to do everything according to your ability, not to act recklessly, and to act chivalrous and righteous, not to bully the weak. β
"The disciple knows. β
"Arise, good boy. β
Zhang Jiao picked up Zhang San and handed out an object. Zhang San was a little surprised when he saw it, and what caught his eye was a beautiful butterfly knife.
"How is that possible!"
"Don't be surprised, this weapon is for the teacher to see that you often play with your strange weapon, but the edge of that weapon has already been curled, and the material is even worse. As a teacher, I decided to give you a handful of similar ones, as a return gift for apprenticeship, and choose a name. β
"Let's chase electricity, it's called chasing electricity. β
"Good name. β
Zhang San, who was kneeling on the ground, had his eyes moist a little: "From childhood to adulthood, no one except the master will be so good to me and care about me so much." β
"Since you are under my door, you will be my protΓ©gΓ©. We are family. β
"Thank you, master. β
Zhang Liang shouted at this time: "Thank you for your support, thank you." β
After everyone dispersed, Zhang Jiao called Zhang Liang: "Second brother, you are optimistic about the shop, I will teach my apprentice." β
"Okay, big brother. β
......
"Apprentice, before we martial arts practitioners practice martial arts, the first thing we practice is 'qi'. It is the so-called combination of God and essence, essence and qi, qi and force, and strength to resist power. The essence and spirit are combined with one side to prove the day after tomorrow, from the outside to the inside, the body nourishes all things and the internal force is congenital, and then the foundation is broken, there is a beginning and an end, there is no beginning and one is the golden pill, the Dan Meteorite is born as the Yuan Baby, the chaos opens the yin and yang for the inner realm, and the internal and external unity is the 'immortal'. β
"Master, I don't understand what you're talking about. β
"It's the teacher's fault, let's warm up your body first, horse walking is the most basic and effective way to exercise. β
Half an hour later, Zhang San's legs kept trembling, but Zhang San didn't give up. Zhang Jiao looked at it silently, and after another quarter of an hour, Zhang San couldn't hold on anymore and sat on the ground.
"Your body is too weak, Shu Yi has prepared a medicinal bath for you, let's stop today. β
Zhang San leaned against the wall to find Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang helped Zhang San to enter the tank, and Zhang San obviously felt a trace of comfort at the moment of getting into the bath, and was just about to jump out and was pressed down by Zhang Liang.
"This vat of drugs is hard to find, you kid still want to waste it, and all of it has been absorbed. In this way, Zhang San spent three happy months.
"Good apprentice, much better. Zhang Jiao looked at Zhang San, who had abdominal muscles, and said with a smile: "It's time to enter the next stage of training." β
"Isn't it, master?"
"If you want to be able to beat others, you have to be able to withstand other people's attacks, so a strong body is essential. You'll have to put them all on, and I'll see how you're doing in the future. β
Under Zhang San's wailing gaze, Zhang Jiao turned a blind eye and instead helped Zhang San put on heavy armor, and Zhang San's whole person sank a lot.
"It's just a matter of getting used to it today, and from tomorrow you have to wear this and follow Zhang Bao to collect medicine. "Yes, master. β
Day after day, in the early hours of the morning. Zhang Jiao left everything on a whim and went up the mountain to collect medicine alone.
Zhang San looked at Zhang Jiao's back with some worry, and waited until after lunch before Zhang Jiao returned to the pharmacy with a tired face. Several people asked Zhang Jiao worriedly, and Zhang Jiao showed a tired look.
"The three of us are finally going to be killed. β
"After ten years of waiting, it still came. β
Zhang Jiao's hands kept flashing with electric light, and Zhang Liang's surroundings began to become damp, and Zhang Bao's clothes were whirring without wind.
"Si Xian, I originally planned to teach you the three books of 'Wind', 'Rain', and 'Thunder' today. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and today everything happened to me. The energy of the three people's fingertips converged and submerged into Zhang San's mind together.
"Master, can you stop going to the uprising? Isn't it good for us to stay here? Why do we want to go to the uprising?"
"Sixian, saving you is the will of the hexagram, accepting you as an apprentice is also the will of the hexagram, teaching you the number is also the will of the hexagram, and the tribulation of the three of us is the will of the hexagram. We knew this as early as ten years ago when we met Nanhua Laoxian.
Fang Cai went up the mountain on a whim, taking advantage of the old days that had not dispersed, and when the new day was not coming, he found that the luck of the Han had completely dissipated, and the next hexagram was blurred. We are Destiny, an abandoned Destiny!"
"I don't care what the hell is your destiny! When the sky falls, there is always a tall man on top of it, what do you care about!"
"We are the tall people in your mouth! This is not an acquired formation, but the fate of the three of us is the Ziwei Emperor! Besides, it is not yet known who will kill the deer. β
"You just can't go!" Zhang San roared.
"Why?"
"You all say that you are a Taoist, and a Taoist priest is very indifferent to everything, so you can't be the material to be an emperor!"
Zhang Liang listened to everything calmly and said indifferently: "This is not the reason why you are blocking us. β
"You have to listen to it, you have to listen to it. I'll tell you, all three of you will die, and I don't want you to die, understand?"
"Si Xian, you must know that there are some things that exceed life, the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, this is the trend of the times, and we were chosen by Heaven as the beginning of the troubled times. Even if we don't do it, there will be three brothers such as Li Jiao and Liu Jiao. Needless to say, the teacher has made up his mind. Zhang San angrily took off his heavy armor and rushed all the way towards the mountain. Zhang Bao just wanted to chase after him, but Zhang Jiao stopped Zhang Bao:
"Let him go, it's good to vent a little. In addition, let's prepare, after tonight, the three of us brothers will go their separate ways, maybe there is no hope of meeting again in this life, and we will have a good drink tonight. β
"Big Brother ....."
Zhang San ran faster and faster, until finally two strong winds were born under his feet, and finally Zhang San returned to the original place. A fierce stab dived into the river, and a long-horned python slowly moved its body, staring at Zhang San under the water.
"Even you brute dares to bother me!"
Zhang San took out the 'chasing electricity' and didn't care about playing tricks, and after fixing the end, he held the 'chasing electricity' with his backhand and stretched out his left hand to make a decision.
"Resist the water"
Zhang San, who was originally a little sluggish in the water, stood on the river as if he were walking on the ground, and threw out the 'chasing electricity' with an expressionless face and rushed to the python's surroundings one after another, the giant python's tail was thrown towards Zhang San like a whip, Zhang San turned over and dodged a knife into the giant python's tail, the giant python opened its mouth in pain and bit Zhang San, Zhang San jumped to the head of the giant python with the help of the giant python's body, grabbed the horn and frantically stabbed the giant python's head with the 'chasing electricity'. The giant python kept rolling on the surface of the river in an attempt to throw Zhang San down.
Who knew that Zhang San's arm was like steel pouring and grabbed the horn without moving, and after a while, the originally clear river surface was stained red with blood. After piercing the head of the giant python, he ripped off the almost broken python head and threw it into the distance, the python jumped and bit a rabbit and then did not let go, and the remaining python body slowly wrapped around Zhang San, Zhang San jumped out of the lake, watching the corpse that lost its head slowly sink into the river. After a fierce battle, Zhang San cried bitterly:
"Why is this happening? The boss is dead, and Aunt Li is gone. Now even the master and the remaining two are going to die generously, I..."
After a long time, Zhang San got up from the grass and walked back slowly. Half an hour later, he returned to the town and pushed open the door of the pharmacy. The three people inside put on the dishes, and the four wine glasses on the table made Zhang San's eyes wet.
"Say nothing, all the words are in the wine, drink. β
"You want to die, whatever you want, but I'm going to follow my master. β
"Sixian, hey, whatever you want. β
The next morning.
"I don't know how to ride a horse. β
"There is a first time for everything, and if you try it slowly, it will never be possible if you don't try. Second brother, third brother. Let's say goodbye and hope to have a day together. β
"Big brother, third brother, Si Xian, there will be a period later. β
"Big brother, second brother, Sixian, goodbye. β
....
"Master, where are we going now?"
"Now the people in various places are struggling to make a living, the plague is rampant, and the court has not taken any action in natural and man-made disasters. In this way, let's go to Jizhou, where the plague is most severe, Shuyi will go to Yuzhou, and Zhang Bao will go to Xuzhou. β
"Is the master's plan to teach the people healing charms while curing the plague and then revolt?"
"Thinking about the strings, this is not called an uprising for the teacher. Even if I lead hundreds of thousands of people, I can't defeat tens of thousands of elites, even if I conquer this country, what can I do? I have no heirs, the imperial power is useless to me, I use blood to tear apart the opportunity of the remnants of this decadent dynasty, and then the imperial court will issue local military power, and the princes who have long been dissatisfied with the imperial court will definitely take the opportunity to divide the territory, and our three brothers will have a great credit as rebellious ministers and thieves. After the chaos was quelled, the tide of the battle changed, and the next thing was the melee. If something happens to me one day, don't save me or have other ideas. β
"Then the disciple will send the master on his last journey. β
"Hahaha, that's right, drive!"
"Master, wait for me!"
.......
Zhang Jiao led Zhang San into a village where flies were flying, the smell of corpses was invisible, and rotting corpses could be seen everywhere. This scene almost didn't make Zhang San spit out, and after tying up the horses, a weak farmer with a pus-covered face came over weakly:
"Get out of here quickly, this place is contaminated with the plague, and if you are not careful, you will be contagious, cough cough. β
"Dare to ask where the old man is here?"
"This is the corner of Julu County, Jizhou. β
"We didn't come out of the deer. β
"Master, how do you know?"
"Nonsense, isn't your master a Julu person?"
"Young man, let's leave quickly, lest you lose your life. β
"Uncle, we are here for this matter, you can call me a great sage and good teacher. β
"If there is a means to do so, if there is no such thing, there will be two more corpses. β
Zhang Jiao took out a bucket of water from the well next to him, took out the rune paper in his bag, dipped the brush with water, and dipped it in cinnabar to slowly draw a rune. The talisman in his right hand whispered, and after a while, the talisman burned itself without fire, and Zhang Jiao unhurriedly threw the rapidly burning talisman into the bucket.
"Share it and heal it. β
The old man took a small sip of doubt, but after a while, the pus on his face disappeared instantly, and there was no longer a burning sensation between his throats, the old man looked at Zhang Jiao in disbelief and then looked at the bucket and shouted: "There is salvation, come and drink this divine water!"
The people watching from the side took the ladles in an orderly manner, and after the water brought to the bucket was eaten, there was no coughing or wailing in the village.
"Great sage and good teacher, please accept our worship. β
"Hurry up, please get up, it is the duty of a doctor to hang a pot to help the world. If it is convenient, I want to teach you the 'water charm' to go to various places to rescue the people from fire and water, do you want to wait?"
"I do"
Dozens of young people stood up one after another, and the remaining about two hundred people showed hesitation.
"Don't hesitate, waiting for you to settle down may not help me. β
"Great sage and good teacher, we want to stay, our ancestors have lived here for generations, except for taxes, there are only 23 strong men left in the village after conscription, and the rest of the people are old and frail and can't help the great sage and good teacher. β
"The addition of these strong men is already the biggest busy. Since we are all here, I will simply teach them together. β
An hour later, twenty-three strong men with yellow scarves glanced at the village with some nostalgia and set off.
Zhang Jiao repeatedly refused to stay, and the two rode on their horses and left. Zhang San, who was barely sitting on horseback, asked Zhang Jiao with some curiosity:
"Master, is that Fu Li really so powerful? Why can't I do it now?"
"Silly apprentice, the three books given to you by the master and the second brother and the third brother are based on the specific cultivation of your strength, although this talisman is simple, it can only be effective if it is used by people with internal strength, or only those who join the yellow turban can do it. β
"Master, you declined their hospitality, what are we going to eat at night?" Zhang Jiao knocked on Zhang San's brain:
"I don't know if you found it when you were in the pharmacy, this year's harvest is generally very poor, natural and man-made disasters have occurred, if they entertain us, we will inevitably lose dozens of days of rations, and besides, won't you figure it out yourself?" Zhang Jiao threw Zhang Sanyi a bow and a quiver: "Go, get some game for the teacher." β
"Master, but I don't know how to bow and arrow. β
"No, you will learn, I have never seen such a stupid disciple as you. β
"Do you have any other disciples?" Zhang San muttered
Zhang Jiao, who was sitting on horseback, turned his head and looked at Zhang San with a smile, Zhang San was excited:
"Master, I'll go right away. β
