Chapter 11 The Trip to Luoyang
"Concubine Xuan, isn't it okay?" Liu Ruoshui looked at the senior concubine Xuan who was frowning, and asked with a little worry.
"It seems, it's still a little bit worse. I could feel that one of the mythical birds had actually noticed me, and it seemed to be moving a little. It's just that I may be missing something, so it hasn't made a decision for a long time. Shi Fei Xuan said with some hesitation.
"Concubine Xuan, you don't have to worry. According to Yuanyi, it should be a 'Rui Beast' that calls you, and compared to the fierce beast, the Rui Beast has fewer obsessions, so it is not easy to be summoned. If you try it one more time, it should be about the same. Liu Ruoshui comforted.
Concubine Xuan sighed and said, "Husband, how could I not know? Maybe it is because Concubine Xuan is too persistent that she can't get the favor of the divine bird, right? Concubine Xuan can feel that the divine bird seems to be related to my Buddhism. ”
Concubine Xuan's obsession with martial arts is not even a few points weaker than Liu Ruoshui. Therefore, after she saw the strength of the martial spirit, she naturally wanted to give it a try. According to Ma and Yuanyi, in fact, as long as a person's mind can see clearly, he can call the martial soul, and with the cultivation of the mind of the concubine, he naturally reaches the standard, and he should be able to exchange for the demon soul of a rui beast.
Rui Beast, in fact, is also a kind of demon beast. It's just that the Rui Beast is the kind of beast that is peaceful in nature, can live in peace with humans, and will bring "good luck" to humans. However, in ancient times, the contradiction between humans and demon beasts was the contradiction between races and the contradiction of living space, so whether it was a rui beast or a fierce beast, human beings were treated equally.
However, after the death of the beast, it will not be as violent as the beast. He only thinks about revenge against humans, so the backlash against the host is much smaller. But. As the saying goes, "standing on the wall is thousand, and if there is no desire, it is rigid". Because of this, compared to the fierce beast, the Rui beast will be extremely "picky" when choosing the master. Therefore, compared with the military generals, there are very few literati who can awaken the martial spirit, and only the top handful of talents can do it.
Therefore, Shi Fei Xuan is one of the top figures in the Tang world. But it can't be easy to call the beast.
"Sister-in-law, what the eldest brother said is good. Summoning a martial soul is indeed in a hurry. At the beginning, I had the help of the altar and formation laid by the master, but it took me a year to sense Bi Fang. Later, it took three years of water grinding to attract Bi Fang little by little and make him my 'martial spirit'. Otherwise, sister-in-law, you and my eldest brother will go on a trip to Julu. How about I ask the master to lay an altar for you?" The horse on the side, Yuan Yi hurriedly said.
Hearing this, Liu Ruoshui's eyes lit up slightly, and then said. "Well, I also want to meet the legendary great sage and good teacher. What a style!"
Although because of the horse, Yuanyi's excessive worship of Zhang Jiao. The horns of his mouth are inevitably a little distorted. But in any case, Zhang Jiao is undoubtedly one of the strongest figures in the world.
For such a strong person. Liu Ruoshui naturally wanted to see it.
History has mixed evaluations of Zhang Jiao, but if you want to understand a person, you don't need to understand his innermost thoughts, you can see it directly from what he did.
Don't say anything else, let's talk about Jizhou at this time. At this time, Jizhou can be described as the spread of the plague, God doesn't care, the court doesn't care, the wealthy family doesn't care, just watching the victims in those plague areas starvation, disease, and freezing to death one after another. The first sentence shouted by the slogan of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the phrase 'the sky is dead', and only those who have really experienced this disaster can understand what kind of point God has gone to make them shout the sentence 'The sky is dead'!
No one cared about the poor people in the depths of the calamity, but Zhang Jiao went.
There was no one to treat the lower classes of people who were infected with the plague, but Zhang Jiao went.
He established the Taiping Dao, spread the Yellow Turban Teachings, gathered hundreds of thousands of believers, and had countless die-hard believers under his command, all of which really grew stronger when he personally led his children to the plague-spreading areas to treat the wounded and sick. Under the circumstances, almost everyone had an indescribable fear of the plague, and local officials even trapped the displaced people in one place to prevent the plague from spreading further, leaving them to die in the raging plague!
No one dared to go to these plague areas, and no one was willing to help these people who were infected with the plague, but Zhang Jiao went, and he not only went, but also mobilized everyone around him, first his brothers, and then his disciples, to run around, to and from all over the places where the plague appeared, to help those poor lower class people. At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, countless people went bankrupt and sold their capital, and traveled thousands of miles to flee, which was the best answer to what he did at that time that others did not dare to do!
No matter what the evaluation in history, no matter whether Zhang Jiao really knows Taoism or not, just because he dares to personally lead people to run around the plague area and rescue the suffering and injured, he is definitely not a heroic figure like Cao Cao who would rather teach me to bear the world!
Such a character, Liu Ruoshui naturally doesn't want to miss it.
But at this moment, an accident happened that was not an accident.
At this moment, a crisp birdsong suddenly came from the sky. But see, this brightly colored and light bird landed from the sky, landed on the shoulder of Ma Yuanyi, and "chirped" at him a few times.
"Bluebird, it's you. Isn't there any instructions from the master?" Ma, Yuan Yi asked with a look of surprise.
Blue Bird nodded humanely, then untied a letter tied to his leg with his mouth and handed it to Ma, Yuanyi.
The blue bird is a kind of mythical beast in the legend, and it is recorded in Bangu's "Han Wu Story": "On the seventh day of July, Shang (Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty) was in the Chenghua Palace, in the middle, suddenly there was a blue bird from the west, in front of the palace. asked Dongfang Shuo, Shuo said: "This Queen Mother of the West wants to come." 'Yes, the queen mother arrived, and there were two blue birds like blacks, serving the queen mother beside her. From this, it can be seen that the blue bird is the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West.
With the blue bird as a messenger, probably only Zhang Jiao can have such a big deal.
Ma, Yuanyi unfolded the letter, read it carefully, and frowned.
After a while, Ma and Yuanyi put away the letter, looked at Liu Ruoshui with some dejected heads, and said, "Brother Liu, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to Julu for the time being." According to Master's instructions, I have to go to Luoyang. ”
"Why did your master tell you to go to Luoyang?" asked Liu Ruoshui.
The words are asked, but for Ma, the purpose of Yuanyi's trip, Liu Ruoshui is probably better than Ma, and Yuanyi himself knows it.
Ma, Yuanyi's face showed embarrassment, and said, "Just now, the master asked Jade Bird Hong to pass on a message and handed over a matter related to the safety of the entire Taiping Dao to me, and asked me to go to Luoyang to do it." “
Then, scratching his head, he said with some pain, "But I have never done such a big thing, and I really don't know what to do." Compare, big brother, you and I will go to Luoyang together. When we come back from Luoyang, I will definitely ask Master to lay an altar for my sister-in-law to help her. ”
Seeing Ma Yuanyi's sad face, Liu Ruoshui smiled and said, "It's okay, I actually want to go to Luoyang to see what this thousand-year-old capital looks like now." ”
In fact, compared to Julu, Liu Ruoshui is actually more like going to Julu.
At this time, although the Han Dynasty was already in the waning days, there was finally the last bit of afterglow. As the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang is undoubtedly the center of the world.
Therefore, if you talk about the place with the most heroes in the world, it is undoubtedly Luoyang, if you really want to talk about it, compared to Julu, Liu Ruoshui wants to go to Luoyang more.
After all, Liu Ruoshui wants to go to Julu just because there is a "great sage and good teacher" Zhang Jiao, but in Luoyang City, there are too many heroes and heroes that Liu Ruoshui wants to see.
What's more, Liu Ruoshui naturally knew that Ma and Yuanyi's trip to Luoyang was actually to contact the Zhongchang servants Feng Zhen and Xu Feng as the internal response, and they would rise both inside and outside on March 5. As a result, because of the betrayal of the traitor Tang Zhou, Ma and Yuanyi were arrested, and the car cracked and died.
As the first friend Liu Ruoshui made in the Three Kingdoms World, Liu Ruoshui didn't want to see him embark on a road of no return like this. (To be continued.) )
