Chapter 114: Learning from History
"What's the situation?" Ji Cunsi's master, Daoist Fu Cai, saw that his apprentice was not calmly bringing uncertain news, and hurriedly asked what was going on.
The Taoist priest replied sternly: "I just followed everyone to the guest room, and when the servant who brought us to the guest room left, I was still outside the door, and another servant came to look for him, and I heard them muttering: 'Kill them ......', I went into the guest room but didn't have the heart to rest, so I went out in time to follow them, and they came to a small ditch at the edge of the courtyard, and I found that there were other servants there, and there were already a few people sharpening their knives on the whetstone!"
"Is there such a thing?" Daoist Fucai walked out of the guest room with his apprentice, found Tao Ziyun in the corridor, and asked Daoist Ji Cunsi to explain the situation to him.
"This is what He Zhizhou asked us to come in, how can the servants in this mansion be so inconsistent?, do you want to do this act that is not in tune with Lord He?" Tao Ziyun replied suspiciously.
Daoist Ji Cunsi insisted on his inference: "I have heard that 'Houmen is as deep as the sea when it enters. The people in it are very complicated, and if you think back to the experience of where we went to find people, you can understand that they are very unkind to outsiders. This Zhizhou Mansion is the same as He Fu, and they are all descendants of He Hou. If they sharpen their knives at this time, it will probably be against us! Let's strike first, call everyone out, and let's do it together!"
"You take us over to see!" Tao Ziyun thought of a related historical event, this time we had to figure out the original situation, learn from history, and not make unnecessary mistakes.
"That's where I saw them in action. Daoist Ji Cunsi took Tao Ziyun and Daoist Fucai to a clump of bamboo.
Through the leafy bamboo, they saw several people over there still sharpening their broadswords.
"Don't act rashly here, I'll take a closer look above them. After Tao Ziyun finished speaking, he flew into the air above the servants who were sharpening their knives. Tao Ziyun saw that near those people, there were several big fat pigs with pig's feet and pig's mouths tied, Tao Ziyun thought: Isn't this posture just to kill pigs!
"What's the situation?" "The Fortune Daoist saw Tao Ziyun coming down. Immediately ask him about the results of the visit.
"I could see clearly that there were three large pigs with their feet and mouths tied, and they were sharpening their knives, apparently for the purpose of killing pigs. Let's go to the guest room, Brother Ji go and rest, we should call Yuan Yu to go to Cangwu Mountain. Tao Ziyun calmly took the lead and walked towards the guest room.
"So good, they killed pigs to entertain us?" Daoist Ji Cunsi asked a little unexpectedly, he still walked with his master to the guest room of the Zhizhou Mansion with Tao Ziyun.
"In any case, don't take it lightly. Hurting the innocent will once again become the laughing stock of history, and only by paying more attention to it and taking history as a mirror can we make fewer mistakes. Tao Ziyun reminded Ji Cunsi Daoist earnestly.
I only learned part of the Confucian classics from my master, and most of the time I studied Taoist scriptures, and I didn't know how to learn from history, and I was willing to accept Brother Tao's method of learning from history. Daoist Ji Cunsi said modestly to Tao Ziyun.
"Once upon a time, there was a man named Cao Cao who once came to his friend's house. His friends left him at his house to eat and lodge, and when his friends had settled him down, he went out. He heard a knife being sharpened at his friend's house, and he thought it was to kill him, so he killed the man who sharpened the knife. Later, he saw a pig tied up inside, and he realized that his friend's family was going to sharpen their knives and kill the pig to entertain him as a guest. Cao Cao saw that he had made a mistake. In order to cover up his act of manslaughtering good people, Cao Cao killed his friend's entire family except for his friend who went out. He fled his friend's house on his way after killing someone. When he met a friend who went to buy goods for his hospitality, Cao Cao killed his friend as well, thinking that no one would know about his brutality. But there are still other people who know about it, and it has been passed down as history. When Cao Cao started, it was originally an unintentional mistake, but in order to cover up his mistakes, there is a historical record of this Yan zhòng affecting his reputation. Today, we should take this historical event as a reference and cannot afford to make this mistake again. Tao Ziyun told Daoist Ji Cunsi an allusion similar to what he had just encountered.
"Thank you Brother Tao for your teachings, and I am glad that we were able to avoid the recurrence of historical tragedy this time. I'm going to get a good night's sleep and reflect deeply on my impulsive thoughts. Daoist Ji Cunsi suddenly said to Tao Ziyun.
"That's it, you can rest. After Tao Ziyun finished speaking to Daoist Ji Cunsi, he saw the corridor of the guest room, and called Zhao Jinlong and Yuan Yu out.
Yuan Yu said to Tao Ziyun: "Because there is still a long way to go from Cangwu Mountain here, Brother Zhao and I rode into the mountain, and you and the Taoist echoed each other in the air, of course, don't come down if you don't have to." ”
"Of course, that's fine, and we'll go with you to the stables to lead the horses. After Tao Ziyun finished speaking, he accompanied Yuan Yu and Zhao Jinlong, without alarming the servants who went to close the horses, and went to lead the two horses out and hit the road.
Tao Ziyun and Daoist Fucai slowly flew in the sky as they waited for Yuan Yu and Zhao Jinlong, who were riding on horseback on the ground.
Yuan Yu and Zhao Jinlong came to the first guard of Cangwu Mountain in the mountain pass, under the guidance of Zhao Jinlong, and at the same time with the letter from He Meimei's master and servant to Yuan Yu, they came to a circle of high walls in front of the heavy palace, obviously that is the "He Hou Temple", it is estimated that those buildings have an area of 30,000 or 40,000 square meters, and there are many plaques, couplets and inscriptions inside and outside the temple.
Yuan Yu and Zhao Jinlong have already entered the He Hou Temple, according to what was said before, Yuan Yu only needs to find her subordinates who came from the north, and explain that they only need to find the book perfunctorily, don't cause panic because of the search for the book, and wait for him Tao Ziyun to compile another "Book of Music", then he can hand over the errand. It's just that I don't know if those of her subordinates are in the shrine, but as long as a few of them stay in the shrine, it's okay to sue one person and let that person tell the others.
When Yuan Yu was looking for his subordinates to explain things in the temple, Tao Ziyun and Fucai Dao Chang were patrolling all over the top of Cangwu Mountain, only to see a huge mountain, nine main peaks, from far and near, they are all similar, and when outsiders enter it, it will be like entering the Bagua Array, and they must get lost. There are guards in each mountain pass, and there are countless mountains, large and small, and there are houses on the ridges of each mountain, which are obviously the residences of the disciples of this sect, and the residences are near the fields. This Cangwu Mountain Wonderland, since the Five Emperors period He Hou operated, each period received a lot of disciples who learned to arrange troops, although only the He family's relatives had the opportunity to learn important immortal arts, but the foreign surname of the children for the generals, the He family's relatives for the handsome model, but also made the Cangwu Mountain faction extremely powerful.
Finally, when a group of people from the Black Crow Crow sent Yuan Yu and Zhao Jinlong out of the He Hou Temple, and seeing that they were safe and sound, Tao Ziyun and Fucai Dao Chang flew to the mountain pass when they arrived, and waited for them to come out of the mountain at the mountain pass.
"Fortunately, it's daytime, and my subordinates didn't go out in the He Hou Temple, and they all went out to look for books at night, and I've already told them, so they don't have to really look for books when they look for them, I said that when I came, I would go out to find the books myself, and wait for the news that I found the books. Their work was no longer stressed, and they were naturally very happy, and they reminisced about the old days with me, and everyone immediately remembered the time spent with me, and when I finished explaining my errand to them, they all enthusiastically sent me away. As soon as Yuan Yu came out of the mountain, he told Tao Ziyun what he had just happened to them.
"That's it, it's done. Let's go to the governor's mansion and tell them to go back out of the mansion. I will go first with the head of the Fucai Dao, and you and Brother Zhao will ride over quickly. Tao Ziyun and Yuan Yu were about to fly away after speaking.
Yuan Yu asked embarrassedly: "It's afternoon, and you still have to ask them to go back out of the house, can't you go back at night?"
"Let's hurry up at night, when the matter is done, it will be like an arrow. Now I have to wait for a new book of "The Book of Music" to come out! I have to go home and write a new version of the "Book of Music". After Tao Ziyun finished speaking, he went up to the clouds with the head of the Fortune Dao.
Tao Ziyun and the others fell into the Zhizhou Mansion, only to hear a jingling local fight, he and Fucai Dao Chang ran to the outside of the guest room, but it was the servants of the Zhizhou Mansion and their left-behind personnel who fought, Tao Ziyun asked Ji Cunsi, who was struggling to cope: "What's the matter? How did it lead them to fight?"
"I also asked them why they attacked us? They said that this was their idea, and it had nothing to do with Lord He, they were just trying to rob money, it was really as deep as the sea, and there were all the people in it! Now it's not that you take history as a mirror, it's that they take history as a mirror, and they have deceived you with the illusion of killing pigs, and killed us by surprise, leaving us defenseless, fortunately, you are back, help me, I can't resist it!" Ji Cunsi answered Tao Ziyun's question while resisting the enemy's attack, which is even more dangerous! To be continued ......)
