Chapter 10 The Origin of Lao Dao and this Village

Li Xiaoqing is not interested in this kind of thing, but that Hui Lao Dao can be regarded as an acquaintance this time, the white-haired old man actually knows the old Taoist, at first the old man didn't see Hui Lao Dao wearing the old military uniform, but when Li Xiaoqing spoke, the old man saw the old man in the green military uniform next to Li Xiaoqing.

This old Taoist priest has always been a Dao Bone Immortal Style, even if he doesn't wear a Dao robe, it gives people a feeling of Dao Bone Immortal Style, but just now the old man didn't pay attention to him.

"Immortal Master?" the old man asked in confusion as he rubbed his eyes.

"Liu Chuan, are you a lot older?"

"It's really Engong! Alas, isn't it, I'm a person who has half of my body in the ground, I didn't expect to see Engong again, but Engong, you don't look old at all. The old Taoist priest looked like he was sixty years old, but his actual age was a few years older than this eighty-year-old man.

The old man wiped his tears and said, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that all of us in our village would suffer." After the Xinhai Revolution, imperialism divided and ruled, the central power was unified, and the warlords in various places developed rapidly, especially in Sichuan and Shu, a province with a large population, which can be described as full of factions and constant fighting.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the New Army was founded, and many military schools were set up in Chengdu Beijiaochang. In the 29th year of Guangxu (1903), Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Sichuan, opened the Sichuan Military Academy, in the 32nd year of Guangxu (1906), the Sichuan Governor Xiliang opened the Sichuan Army Primary School, and in the 33rd year of Guangxu (1907), Zhao Erxun, the governor of Sichuan, opened the Sichuan Army Accelerated School. In the 8th year of the Republic of China (1919) and the 13th year of the Republic of China (1924), Xiong Kewu, the governor of Sichuan, and Yang Sen, the military governor of Sichuan, both opened the army lecture hall here. These successive military academies have created a large number of military talents for Sichuan in various periods, and many of them have become the leaders and senior military generals of the warlords of various factions in Sichuan and Shu, and to put it bluntly, they have cultivated a large number of warlords.

And this Sichuan and Shu warlords are different from the warlords in other places, in other places, think Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang, Zhang Zuolin, the three big warlords have appeal, unite the local unity to the outside world, if you outsiders want to make trouble on my territory, I will fight hard and fight you back, but the Sichuan warlords are in the nest, today you beat me, tomorrow I will fight you. (This period of history is quite interesting, I listened to one of my Sichuan roommates in college, if you are interested, you can buy a copy of "Sichuan Warlord Record of the Republic of China", which is quite in line with historical facts).

At that time, the common people of Sichuan and Shu had a saying: the water has Peng Shuixuan, the god has Liu Shenxian, and the spirit official comes to the town hall; Ha'er goes to guard the border and builds roads, Tang Zijin, Wei Feng Guo Daman; Zhang Sike and Yu Anmin are all ministers of Anbang and Dingguo; and the commander Lantian Yu, who bends over and plays ball. The bearded man Pan Wenhua, the bald guy Wang Zan Xu, and the planes and warships are all in order. Li Luo Yangsen, like Liu Xianggan's son-in-law.

It stands to reason that this warlord melee has nothing to do with this group of peasants nesting in the mountains, but the war has to pay military salaries, what to do if there is no money, a few of the Beiyang warlords who are crazy have made a fortune because of the inverted fight, and the Sichuan army is not willing to be left behind. In 1925, the great warlords of Sichuan and Shu, Yang Sen, Lai Xinhui, Liu Chengxun, Liu Wenhui, Chen Hongfan, and Chen Guodong, began a great war.

This person has to have great ambitions to live, Lao Yang is not as short-sighted as Liu Xiang, people are worried about strengthening their own team, the ideal is good, but the reality is that there is no money.

At this time, some people said that there was an emperor's tomb in this lotus village, which contained countless treasures, and digging up the tomb should be able to exchange for guns and ammunition, so this Yang Sen ran here with his soldiers, saying that he wanted to exercise, in fact, he wanted to rob the tomb, at that time, many big warlords were like this, and they robbed people's ancestral tombs under the guise of exercises. Sun Dianying robbed the tomb of the Qing Emperor, and Dang Yulu dug up treasures in the cockfighting platform, these things were not strange at that time.

This person dug up his ancestral grave that he had guarded for nearly a thousand years, and the people in this village naturally stopped doing it, so they gathered and began to stop it, but the warlord had a gun and arrested all these villagers.

At that time, Hui Lao Dao was in this village, what did he do? He took a fancy to a pair of treasures in the village, four peach pit handles painted with the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the four holy beasts of Xuanwu. The old Taoist priest is good at this, the peach pit plate in Liujia Village is full of pulp color, like mutton fat white jade, the most exciting thing for the old Taoist priest is that this peach pit is as big as a walnut, the color is like jade, if it is not for the old village chief at that time, Hui Lao Dao absolutely does not know that this is a peach pit carving.

The old Taoist priest couldn't change it with the old patriarch in the village at that time, and people said that it was left by the ancestors and couldn't be exchanged. But now the grave of this old ancestor is almost unkept, and the old patriarch is wiping tears behind his back. Hui Laodao simply said that if the ancestral grave in this village is kept, the four peach pits will belong to him.

This Hui Lao Dao knew about this and didn't do anything else, so he said to Liu Xiang, who was still in Sichuan and Shu at the time, "The general was originally the emperor, and there was a real dragon, but the ancestral tomb was not guaranteed, and the feng shui was broken, even if the team was strong, I am afraid that it would be difficult to ascend to the hegemony." "This old Taoist priest told Liu Xiang and Liu Cunhou that they are all descendants of Liu Bei and have the blessing of the emperor, so they can only start today, this is the truth, there are many surnames in Sichuan, how can they make up a family, which one of the warlords from this troubled era is unlucky?

Moreover, at that time, there was no popularization of Marxist materialism, and people were still in awe of some things, unlike now, when you say that you will be punished for doing bad things, few people believe it at all.

Then spread rumors that Yang Sen dug up the ancestral graves of several of them to make their feng shui ruined, and these people listened to it and immediately began to recruit soldiers to fight with Yang Sen. So there was the battle of Yang in 1925, Liu Xiang entangled Yuan Zuming and Deng Xihou to take the Sichuan-Guizhou coalition army to fight Yang Sen, but Yang Sen was defeated and fled from Sichuan, and the people in the village were naturally fine.

At that time, this old man Liu was young and vigorous and ran around with Hui Lao Dao to see with his own eyes how Hui Lao Dao was killing people like hemp, and the selfish Sichuan warlords only saw lobbying, and also saw the magic of this old Taoist priest, and he admired the old Taoist priest very much. What kind of person was Zhao Erfeng, who had recovered Tibet? (Zhao Erfeng defeated the Tibetan rebels who attacked Batang that year, and took advantage of the victory to enter Tibet, recovering the four tribal areas of Jiangka and Gongjue, and even crossed the Danda Mountains to the west, until he reached Jiangdazong, which was only six days away from Lhasa, and the Dalai Lama fled to British India. )

Yin Changheng's command post captured Zhao Erfeng, who was already 66 years old at that time, although he was a diehard loyalist of the Qing court, he could execute such an old man, so that after his death, he would send his head to soak in wine and go to Tibet to settle the people.

That Yang Sen didn't even let go of his own niece, Liu Xiang was not much better than Yang Sen, what did you say the old Taoist took to lobby at that time.

And the reason why the old Taoist priest went to help the people of that village was not only because he was good at writing and playing, but because the four peach pits had a great background, according to the "Taiping Guangji", it was recorded: the queen mother set up her own heavenly kitchen, which was really wonderful: rich and precious fruits, fragrant and flavorful, purple mushroom wilted, fragrant and filled, fragrant wine, not all on the ground, the fragrance is extraordinary, and the emperor can not be named. He also ordered the maid to ask for more peach fruits. Suddenly, seven peaches are held on a jade plate, as big as a duck's egg, round and blue, to present the queen mother. The mother eats four with the emperor, and three eats herself. The peach taste is luscious and the mouth is full of flavor. The emperor ate and collected the nucleus, and the queen mother asked the emperor, and the emperor said: "I want to plant it." The mother said: "This peach has been fruitful for 3,000 years, and the ground is thin in mid-summer, and it is not planted." "Emperor Naizhi. Those who have seen it may think that this is boasting about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or promoting some superstitious color, after all, the length of the article that wrote about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is about the same length as that of Lao Tzu, Peng Zu, and the bearded guest.

But who would have thought why Song Taizong would let Li Fang, Hu Meng, Li Mu, Xu Xuan, Zhao Linji, Wang Kezhen, Song Bai, Lu Wenzhong and other 12 scholars compile this "Taiping Guangji", and spend so much space on such a mysterious and mysterious story as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty meeting the Queen Mother of the West, and move Ban Gu's "The Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty"? Let's not say much for the time being, anyway, this is at least the most detailed and exaggerated fairy adventure story I have ever seen.

The topic came back, "This is about the Queen Mother of the West to Liu Che's palace to set up a banquet, the two of them ate happily, the Queen Mother took out seven peaches for him to eat, this Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty has never seen the world, and left four peach pits, and wants to plant them himself, but the Queen Mother of the West mercilessly mocked: Three thousand years of results are not to say, and this land is too barren to plant. "This Hui Lao Dao only knows that the whole village is surnamed Liu, and this tomb is said to be Liu Bei's tomb, after playing carefully, he found that these four peach pits carved with holy beasts are obviously a magic weapon, it is a magic weapon of the gods, so the old Taoist priest took the risk to lobby around those big warlords.

This has a cause and an effect, these four peach pits are in the hands of the old Taoist, and after refining the fourfold prohibition, the four beasts and four elephant arrays can be laid down, and then there are five prohibitions, which can be said to have unlimited potential. It can also suppress demons when used alone, and this treasure saved Lao Dao's life several times when he walked the rivers and lakes in the future. The relationship between this old Taoist priest and this village is not shallow, and the kindness of obtaining such treasures is not just to go out and provoke a few big-headed soldiers with guns to pay off, although the people in the village do not know, but the old Taoist priest himself knows very well in his heart, this cause and effect This thing is already comfortable.
