Governor please stay

"General Liu, guess how old the old man has lived this year?"

Tao Hongjing asked nonchalantly, as if making a routine.

Liu Yishou replied truthfully, "It's only forty years old."

It is better to be called sister than elder sister, elder sister is better than aunt, and aunt is better than grandma. Liu Yishou remembers this infallible truth.

"The old man is already seventy-four this year."

Tao Hongjing stroked his gray beard and said.

This is impossible!

Everyone present was shocked, including Xiao Gang who knew Tao Hongjing's age!It's one thing to know, but another thing to hear the other party admit it!

"General Liu, you follow the old Taoist into the wing room, and the rest of you can wait here for a while."

Tao Hongjing smiled and nodded at Liu Yishou, indicating that he was not malicious, and led Liu Yishou into the wing behind the lobby.Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, Yang Jiang even wanted to follow, but Yuan Shikang stopped him with his eyes.

If Xiao Gang asked Liu Yishou to have a secret talk, it would definitely not be a good thing.But it's obvious that Tao Hongjing's status is unusual, he is the one who decides here, it's better not to act rashly.

The furnishings in the wing room are very ordinary, and it can even be called a study room, because there are several large bookshelves here, all of which are all kinds of books that Tao Hongjing painstakingly collected.

"I have an old relationship with Bachelor Shen Yue. When he was in trouble, he sent a large number of books at home to me for safekeeping. Later, I interceded with the emperor, and the emperor did not embarrass the Shen family in the end."

Tao Hongjing said with a smile, looking very kind.

Liu Yishou said respectfully: "Master Tao Xianzhai has a benevolent heart, I admire you."

Tao Hongjing didn't seem to be in the mood to chat with him, so he rummaged through the bookshelves for a long time, found a book, handed it to Liu Yishou, and said, "This page of this book, you can read it yourself, it is collected by Shen Yue back then. It was collected when I was alone in the previous dynasty."

Liu Yishou took the book, and on the cover was written "Jiankang Miscellaneous Notes Supplement Volume", the author was Shen Yue.

Shen Yue's name is like thunder, and when Xiao Yan successfully occupied Jiankang with his army, he was hesitant about how to deal with it later.It was Shen Yue who insisted that Xiao Yan become the emperor, and that's how Liang Guo came to be.

"Xuan (Xie Xuan) ordered Wang Peng to send more than a thousand people from the Northern Mansion to aid Luo Jian, but Wang Peng couldn't help Luo Jian, and when they reached Luo Jian, the Qin army was already defeated..."

"At the beginning, the sky was dim. Later, when the flames lit up, the enemy's flag was in ruins, and the words "Eternal Victory Army" written on it could be vaguely seen. The enemy soldiers who abandoned their helmets all had yellow hair, eagle noses and sunken eyes, like barbarians."

The book records a strange incident. Wang Peng, who belongs to the Beifu Army, was ordered by Xie Xuan to lead more than a thousand people to support the front line.Encountered a strange enemy army on the way.

Under the banner of the "Eternal Victory Army", these people fought back with strange weapons. As soon as the fire blazed, the soldiers under Wang Peng's command would suffer casualties.Later, Wang Peng led troops to attack with fire and wiped out the army.After arriving at the designated support battlefield, the Qin army had already been defeated and fled, and Wang Peng assisted a lonely one.

And it was already three days later, but Wang Peng felt that it was only a day and a night.

When discussing military exploits, Wang Peng was punished for "cowardly fighting", so he told the story, which was recorded by the historians of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.In the end, the classics were transferred to Shen Yue.

It is true that Shen Yue collected tens of thousands of volumes of books and collected many orphan copies.

It's just this story, no matter how you look at it, it looks like Wang Peng met the modern musketeers queuing up and shooting!

Noticing Liu Yishou's strange expression, Tao Hongjing asked with a smile, "Isn't there anything General Liu wants to say?"

"say what?"

Liu Yishou felt a little baffled, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"The old Taoist has lived for so many years. He has been a servant of the emperor and a high-ranking official. He also cultivates his health and mind, and pursues a long life. To be honest, there is nothing that can impress the old Taoist. Those fame and fortune are all things to me. Like floating clouds, no matter what you give me, I don't feel anything."

Tao Hongjing spoke slowly, as if talking to himself.

"The immortal master may wish to speak up if he has something to say."

Liu Yishou said in a deep voice.You are so desperate, and you still call me for questioning, are you really free?

"When I was studying alchemy, a certain alchemy furnace burst, the sound was like a bell, and it was like fire and lightning. It was a bit similar to what was described in this book. The old man was thinking that those fools in the book might be people from the future. A weapon that sounds like a bell is only a weapon for future generations.

A veteran can do it by frying a pill furnace, and I believe it is not difficult for them to do it.

In the past, the old Taoist was skeptical about this, until he heard General Liu's words and deeds, and sent Daotong to sneak into Pengcheng to investigate General Liu's ancestral home, and found that General Liu, you seem to be a person who jumped out of a rock.

So the old man guessed that this kind of thing might be true.

So the old man was thinking, General Liu, are you also a future person? "

Tao Hongjing looked at Liu Yishou with burning eyes and asked, "Can General Liu give the old Tao an answer right now?"

The incident was widely circulated on the Internet, but it took me some time to confirm that it was fabricated by people later. As for which era it was fabricated, it is hard to say.It is written in the novel only because of the needs of the situation and the plot, and it must not be believed to be true.

Chapter 258 Decisive Battle on the Peak of Purple Gold

Who are you?Where are you from?what are you going to do?

These are the three easiest questions and the hardest to answer accurately.Some people even spend their whole lives pursuing the answers to these three questions, but in the end they cannot satisfy themselves.

Tao Hongjing asked the question "Where are you from?" Liu Yishou was really hard to answer.

"I also want to ask the fairy teacher a question. If the fairy teacher can give me the answer, then I can give the fairy teacher the answer he wants."

Liu Yishou said calmly.

Hearing this, Tao Hongjing didn't seem surprised at all.Regardless of whether Liu Yishou was the kind of person he thought of or not, the simple answer he gave was somewhat inconsistent with the high-ranking and powerful governor.

Can the person who can be so successful that Xiao Yan has to marry his daughter to him be a simple person?He just said it simply, can you believe it?

"General Liu, but it doesn't matter."

Tao Hongjing nodded with a smile, looking very modest.

"The immortal master thinks, what color is the sky, to put it simply, at this moment, what color is the sky."

Liu Yishou pointed to the clear blue sky outside the window of the wing room and asked.

This sentence is easy to answer for ordinary people, but it is not easy to answer for those who study all kinds of academics.Tao Hongjing shook his head and said, "What is the sky?"

"The sky is the sky."

Liu Yishou said seriously: "It is the sky that contains everything, and it is also the sky that is cloudless. But the sky is there, whether we look at it or not, it is the same. We can feel how the sky is, or how blue it is." , or whiter, but those are false, not the true face of heaven.

Everyone has a different sky, not the sky is different, but people are different.So the sky has no color, or different people have different colors in their eyes. "

"Wonderful."

Tao Hongjing patted his hands lightly, unable to hide his admiration for Liu Yishou in his eyes.

"Forget it, I won't ask about those. You seem to have gained something from the record I showed you. Can you explain to me what kind of weapon was used by the army that Wang Peng encountered?"

Tao Hongjing's observation skills were astonishing. When Liu Yishou saw this unimaginable record, his expression was not stunned, nor did he completely understand what it was, but a clear attitude of "so it is".

This is so abnormal.

Liu Yishou saw the Four Treasures of the Study on the table, so he quickly rubbed the ink and drew a schematic diagram on the large white paper.

"When the immortal master is refining alchemy, sometimes it will explode with a bang. This force pushes the ball-like iron pellet out of this pipe, and then..."

He tried his best to explain the principle to Tao Hongjing in the simplest language, and the other party nodded after listening.

"General Liu, you are a very interesting person."

Tao Hongjing smiled kindly, took a box from the top of the bookshelf, and handed it to Liu Yishou.He made a "please" gesture and said, "Why don't you open it and have a look?"

A long wooden box, Liu Yishou lifted the lid, and inside lay a rusty mess, but one can still vaguely figure out what it looked like...the barrel of a rifle.

A bit of a 19th century rifle.

"Flintlock!"

Liu Yishou couldn't help but speak, and only after he finished speaking did he realize that he had slipped his tongue.

Tao Hongjing came over, gestured with his fingers on the barrel and said, "When it bursts from this end, the marbles are shot out along the barrel, like a bow and crossbow. General Liu is an honest man."

I don't know if it's his own illusion, but Liu Yishou can't feel even a trace of malice from Tao Hongjing.If this is a disguise, it can only be said that this person's acting skills are natural, and the actor will be blinded.

Tao Hongjing covered the box, took another box from the top of the bookshelf and handed it to Liu Yishou.

"General Liu's wedding is coming soon, and the old man has nothing to offer as a gift. This knife is called Shansheng. I heard that General Liu is very good at strategizing on the battlefield. It should not insult the reputation of this knife.

I also have a knife to pair with it called the VIA.That is an imperial sword, it is not appropriate to give it to you.

There is a saying: Bingfeng is colorful and called Weisheng, and Guangbao is blooming every day.Cut off the Guanshan Mountain for thousands of miles, and enter the king's platform with the emperor and the emperor.This time when you enter Jiankang, the old Taoist will go with you, and will dedicate the Weisheng knife to the emperor. "

Be darling, the wedding gift I received was of the same level as that given to Xiao Yan. Could it be that Old Taoist Tao wants to send himself to Huangquan Road?Isn't this flattering?

"Master Immortal, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Liu Yishou said in fear.

Tao Hongjing was very resolute and stuffed the long box containing the precious sword into his arms, and said with a smile: "The emperor eats fast and recites Buddha, if you give him two swords, the thought of killing is too heavy, and it will increase his schoolwork.

This sword is called Shansheng, and there is a saying: a treasured sword is called Shansheng when it is sharpened.General Liu deserved this knife, if he passed it on to someone else, it would be unsightly. "

Tao Hongjing expressed his kindness, and for the sake of this, he had no choice but to accept it.However, it seemed that this person admired him very much. Liu Yishou thought to himself that this "cultivator" seemed to be indifferent to the fact that Liu was a "traveler", and even a little happy.

"Immortal Master, the so-called not being rewarded for meritorious deeds, you and I will give you a generous gift the first time we meet the Immortal Master, it will inevitably make people feel anxious and feel ashamed to accept it."

Liu Yishou said with some embarrassment.

"Actually, you should understand. If you don't understand, think about it. You understand that iron pipe, what else in the world do you not understand? Remember what you said today, the sky is the sky, and it is always the same Yes, it's just that people's hearts are different, and the sky they see is different.

Don't do anything to disgrace this precious sword in the future. "

Tao Hongjing talked a lot, but it seemed like he didn't say anything, everything was specious.Liu Yishou asked curiously: "Master Immortal, the phrase Rongshan sounds a little strange, does it have another name?"

When this topic was mentioned suddenly, Tao Hongjing was taken aback, as if he didn't expect Liu Yishou to ask such a question.He said without hesitation: "That's right, we call it Maoshan here. This is the Shangqing Maoshan School, and the altar is on the top of the mountain."

Uh, it turns out that the Maoshan sect, where Taoist talents are born in large numbers, is here!The one in front of him is obvious, he is the founder of the Maoshan School!

"I have dabbled in Buddhist Zen, divination and astrology, immortality and Taoism, herbal medicine, and Huang Lao's learning and old ways. What kind of books do you like on the bookshelf? Let me help you choose a few."

Tao Hongjing is very generous, and Liu Yishou has no doubt that if he wants to join the Maoshan School, the other party will definitely agree.

"The immortal master is really...too polite."

Liu Yishou said insincerely.Tao Hongjing smiled and waved his hands and said: "You are in charge of Shouyang and benefit one side. If the old Taoist can help a little, it can be regarded as accumulating virtue. What are these books?"

Tao Hongjing is a sensible person!

Liu Yishou couldn't help nodding his head slightly, this person looks like a middle-aged man, but in fact he knows his own body best.Liu Yishou felt that this person's time was running out, and he was making some plans, even arranging funeral arrangements.

"Then I would like to thank the immortal master. I would like to select some medical books. If someone under my command in Shouyang wants to open a medical clinic in the future, it may be useful."

Forget about Buddha, Dao, and so on, and divination is meaningless. If divination is useful, then what else do you have to work hard for? Isn’t it all right to just lie down and wait for good luck to come?

Although Tao Hongjing talked a lot, only medical skills are useful for him to manage Shouyang.Liu Yishou didn't do what he thought, and directly chose medical skills.

Tao Hongjing was not ambiguous, and directly took down a thick and large "booklet" from the bookshelf. On the cover was written "Compendiums of Materia Medica Classics". At first glance, the weight was extraordinary.

"I haven't finished compiling this book. It only contains more than 730 kinds of medicines, which are classified by jade, vegetation, insects, animals, fruits, vegetables, and rice. I really don't know how useful they are.

You should have quite a few talented people under your command. If you can continue to compile, it will be of great merit.

Even if I can't continue to compile it, it will be worth my painstaking efforts to carry it forward and benefit the people.

Even the treasured sword is taken away, this medical book should not be rejected, right?Take it! "

Tao Hongjing just casually stuffed the box containing the precious sword into Liu Yishou's arms, but now this medical book is solemnly handed over to the other party, just like entrusting his own child.

Feeling this solemnity, Liu Yishou nodded earnestly to Tao Hong and said, "Don't worry, Immortal Master. I will definitely order someone to continue compiling this book and classify it into categories. I will definitely not let down the painstaking efforts of Immortal Master."

Tao Hongjing nodded with a smile, very satisfied with Liu Yishou's "knowledge and understanding".

"How about this, you stay with me for two days, and I will teach you a set of pull-ups, which can strengthen your body. You see, I am still in good health after I am over 70. It is the power of this technique. There is no harm in learning it.

The emperor of Liang Guo also practiced non-stop every day, so General Liu didn't have to think about it. "

Tao Hongjing winked at Liu Yishou, implying that he "knows everything".

"So there's trouble over there."

Liu Yishou said politely.

"Come with the old way, let's go to the altar on the top of the mountain to worship the heaven and the earth."

Tao Hongjing said calmly, turned around and left.

……

At night, Qiu Chan also shouted hoarsely, making it impossible to sleep.Yang Jiang was lying on the bed, feeling like countless bugs were crawling in her heart, tossing and turning to sleep restlessly.

"Maoshan can be regarded as the cleanest and most stable place in the Liang Kingdom, so you won't be able to calm down. What if we go to Jiankang in a few days?"

Liu Yishou who was lying side by side closed his eyes and asked.

"I saw the knife that Daoist Tao gave you. It is better than my father's saber. There is no better knife in Yang's warehouse."

Yang Jiang turned over and asked while hugging Liu Yishou's arm.
