Chapter 626
If the first one is considered reliable, the second one should fall into the category of a great performer.
The dying patient was placed on the table like a sacrifice. Zhang Daoling walked around with a mahogany sword. Every time he looked at it, he actually stepped on Bagua, and every step he stepped on was spot on. This is a bit of effort.
After walking in such a small circle, Li Xiao felt dizzy after walking around for a while. He took out his pocket watch and looked at it. He actually kept spinning for ten minutes without stopping.
Let alone anything else, just this physical strength is worthy of admiration!
"Should we invite this Taoist back to work as a physical trainer? If I run like this for ten minutes, I will be out of breath." Li Xiao held a pocket watch in his hand and calculated how many seconds it would take for the Taoist to run a lap.
"Brother! Daozhang Zhang is really efficacious. That person's illness will definitely get better." Li Hao was very fascinated by this Daozhang Zhang and was very dissatisfied with his elder brother's attitude towards his idol.
"Brother! Mr. Li can't explain what's going on with Hu Zi's illness. Maybe this Taoist Zhang can do it. Since you've come so far, you should also take a look at Taoist Zhang's magical powers." I guess he saw it the last time he came here.
What, Li Xiu is also supporting his idol.
"Okay!" Li Xiao watched Taoist Zhang's performance with the attitude of watching a monkey show. This kind of fraud is really low-level. At least he has to get a small golden Buddha or something.
Zhang Daoling danced more and more rapidly, his gown fluttered, his big sleeves fluttered, his steps changed from Bagua steps to Big Dipper steps, he stood on the throne of heaven and shouted loudly, countless pieces of yellow paper flew out of his sleeves.
The mahogany sword in his hand just stabbed, and a piece of paper was pierced through it. When he returned the hand, it passed by the seven-star lantern, and the paper suddenly turned into a fireball. Under the drumming of the sleeves of the robe, there were no scattered yellow papers.
One fell to the ground, and the fireballs in his hand were flying around, immediately igniting all the flying pieces of paper. His sword was still waving, and he would call the fireballs from time to time. The flying fireballs slowly gathered into a big fireball, which was extinguished in the blink of an eye.
Against the candlelight, it looks like a red sun, but this red sun is a bit green. If there was no sulfur and phosphorus powder on the paper, Li Xiao would not believe it even to death.
The fireball gradually extinguished, and Zhang Daoling also finished his work. He used his left hand sword technique and his right hand to move Su Qin's back sword, and the peach wood sword returned safely to the antique scabbard on his back.
Li Xiao felt that there should be applause here. Such a mysterious performance could not be seen on the overpass. He reached into his pocket habitually, preparing to find two coins and throw them in. After groping around, he only found one silver dollar.
Li Xiao had no choice but to give up this idea!
The two brothers next to him breathed a sigh of relief. If this copper coin was thrown over, today's matter would be considered a failure. What a master! How can you do it without the arrogance of a master?
The seasoned performance was over, but the patient gentleman on the table was very professional and wanted to play the patient to the end. He lay quietly on the table, bathing in the early morning sunshine of Mount Wutai in autumn, without even moving his eyelids.
.
"...!" Li Xiu and Li Hao seemed a little embarrassed. According to their expectations, the patient should open his eyes immediately at this time, and then jump off the table in a lively manner. He scurried around like a monkey, and then knelt down to the old man and said,
The old immortal put the silver coins in his pocket and gave them as gifts to express his joy.
Did you get the wrong script? Or did you add drama to yourself?
Li Xiao put his hands in front of his body, and his two thumbs were constantly entwined. His eyes were darting around, as if he was watching a good show.
It has been decided that this trip is just to watch the monkey show and just take in the scenery. After the two brothers feel bored, they will go back home. Master Ao is probably almost ready. Hurry up and leave for Jiangnan. The Donglin Party is about to make a move.
Many people will be killed on this trip. Maybe this old Taoist's business will be very good, because there must be many people in Jiangnan who want to perform rituals.
There was no sound at all, and Li Xiao was not in a hurry.
The awkward atmosphere lasted for five minutes, and the old man seemed a little unwilling. He took out a black pill with unknown ingredients from his arms, then pinched the man's chin and tried to make him open his mouth. He closed the bowl with the man's mouth.
The paper-ash water was poured down the man's throat.
I don't know what kind of miraculous medicine was poured down. It was less than five minutes after I drank it, and Li Xiao's mind was still wandering.
"Wow!" The patient opened his mouth and spat out a large stream of black water. The water was fishy and smelly, and everyone covered their noses. Li Xiao was so smoked that he took two steps back. Fortunately, there was Shunzi behind him.
It took a lot of effort not to fall down.
It is normal to vomit after eating something bad, but what is vomited up is nothing. It is sticky and black. Some people know that it is vomited by people, but those who do not know think that asphalt has been poured on the ground.
Everyone was silent, no one spoke or said a word. Including Li Xiao!
"Haha! It's finally done." Zhang Daoling looked at what the man vomited out and nodded seriously. He carried the peach wood sword behind his back, and the mountain wind blew the Taoist robes and belts fluttering, showing the demeanor of a peerless master.
"Master is indeed a god!" The patient's family members knelt on the ground and shed tears in pain, expressing their gratitude.
This state was a bit disgusting. Li Xiao endured the slight discomfort in his stomach and backed away. The puddle was really smelly.
Fortunately, the little Taoist priest came over and covered the puddle with sand in his hand. The patient's family members bowed to Zhang Daoling. Li Xiao was far away and seemed to see the guy take out a silver note with a gold rim.
Damn it! Is it so profitable to dance to the great gods now? Li Xiao’s thumbs were spinning like windmills. He was thinking about how to tax Taoism and Buddhism in the world.
These guys are so rich, if you tax them, you will definitely gain a lot.
The third guy was a kind-faced old man who looked like he was from the last century. He wore a military cap on his head and a robe with embroidered blessing characters on his body. The old servant who was supporting him looked at least decent.
Seventy or eighty years old.
Such an old birthday star is always auspicious wherever he goes. You have to respect the elderly! Looking at the Ming Dynasty, Li Xiao feels that no one is older than the person in front of him.
"I wonder what illness the old gentleman has?" Zhang Daoling bowed his head and saluted the old man.
"Hahaha! You Zhang Daoling is not known as the world of pulses. If you take my pulse, you will know everything." The old guy smiled and stretched out his arms covered with age spots, winking at Zhang Daoling like a child.
"Doctor! You need to listen, listen and ask questions. Everything is indispensable. I am just asking you for a diagnosis according to the rules!" Zhang Daoling explained, but he put his hand on the old man's wrist politely. He kept cracking his knuckles with one hand.
, looking thoughtful.
Li Xiao knew that he was holding his knuckles because he needed to count time. In fact, the most basic principle of pulse counting is to calculate how many heartbeats the patient has in a unit time and how strong the heartbeat is. Of course, there are many mysteries in this, but the most important thing is to count the time.
There are just so many basic things.
"What was cut out?" After a long time, the old man said.
"Uh...!" Zhang Daoling was at a loss for words, his face was a little embarrassed and confused.
"Haha! I didn't expect that Taoist Zhang, who is so famous, can't guess my pulse. It seems that I am already terminally ill."
"Idiot...!"
"Haha! God knows, if you have more losses than you can make up for the deficiencies, the way of man is to make up for the deficiencies and make up for the excess. Whether it is a person or a country, this sentence makes sense." The old guy stroked his beard, looking more like Zhang Daoling.
Even taller and a superior image.
"The poor Taoist needs to be taught!" Zhang Daoling had no choice. When people talked about the Tao Te Ching, he could only listen but could not speak.
"I don't have enough kidney water, so I can no longer do my best. But if there is no one in the country, my Ming Dynasty will be over!"
"Old sir, if you have something to say, just say it. You're old, aren't you tired of talking in eight circles like this?" Li Xiao found a bluestone pier and sat down. If he couldn't tell that the old guy was talking to him,
That would be downright stupid.
"Haha! You are very direct, but unfortunately, you are young and full of murderous intent. Go and sleep! Go and sleep!" The old guy glanced at Li Xiao, then waved his hand, chasing Li Xiao away like a dog.
Li Xiao was surprised to find that the other person's eyes actually had an eagle-like luster.
"Old man! You tried so hard to see me, and then you wanted to chase me away. Why can't you say it clearly when you have something to say? You have to be so roundabout. If you have something to say, just say it!
If you are right, I will learn from you. If you are wrong, I will turn a deaf ear to you. Now that I want to go down the mountain, even if you have great hands and eyes, it will not be easy for you to see me again." For such an old guy, it is not easy.
, Li Xiao looked impatient. Yu Qiuyu once said that our country has too long a history, too many tactics of war, too deep a conspiracy, too big a black box, too thick a secret, too greedy a tongue, too complicated a vision, too dangerous a prediction, and there are
An over-conceived problem. Things that can be clearly explained in a simple sentence must be roundabout. If you don't dig out eight hundred allusions, it means you haven't read the book.
Showing superiority in front of others for no reason makes people angry just thinking about it. Especially in front of people like Li Xiao who he considers to be close to illiterate, the old guy has every reason to laugh at Li Xiao.
"Haha, interesting boy." The old man finally turned around and looked Li Xiao up and down.
"The boy who came out of Liaodong only lasted for more than ten years, and at the age of just over 20, he was able to command millions of soldiers in China. I have to admit that I have searched through the twenty-four histories and I can't find another one like you.
People come out.
Being able to manage hundreds of millions of living beings is not as simple as you think. Now that you have ascended to a high position for the first time, beyond the sight of all the mountains and small mountains, have you realized how cold it is at high places?"
"It's not cold at high places, so the boy has to become cold. Because there is no other way, this mountain boy has no intention of going down after climbing up."
"That's right! Living on the top of a mountain, if you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces. But do you know? The foundation of the mountain under your feet is slowly collapsing. When the sky collapses and the earth breaks apart, even if you have the power to penetrate the sky and the earth,
There is no way to escape bad luck."
Being stared at by the old guy like a falcon, Li Xiao felt a little uncomfortable.
"Are Mr. Donglin Party members sent to negotiate with Mr. Li?" Such a formal old guy, who opens his mouth to make allusions and shuts up his poetry, you can tell he is a Donglin Party member at a glance.
"Haha! The Donglin Party is just a bunch of kids running wild. If Wang Yangming can be considered a master of the generation, these kids are just clowns." The old guy's neck was as stiff as a proud rooster. It seemed that otherwise he was not enough to despise Donglin.
Lin Party members.
When the old guy said this, he immediately fell in love with Li Xiao. At least, they had the same attitude towards the Donglin Party. These bastards were just a bunch of clowns.
"Then you are...!" But Li Xiao was confused again, who is this mysterious old guy?
"Although the Donglin Party believes in Xinxue, they are still of my Confucian lineage after all. The scholars in the world are like crucian carps crossing the river, and the Donglin Party is just a handful. The scholars in the world worship the great sage and the most virtuous teacher. They Donglin Party
Lin Dang also wants to be worshipped. The saint's surname is Kong, and I am also surnamed Kong." The old guy looked at Li Xiao with a smile.
Surnamed Kong? Descendant of the Kong family?
Could it be that he has gone too far and the leader of Confucianism wants to negotiate with him? This is dangerous. Confucianism has existed in this world for thousands of years. It is even more deeply rooted in China! Even if Li Xiao holds millions of soldiers
, but when facing such an idol-like figure, one must be careful. The power of Confucianism is so great that it has exceeded the scope of the Ming Dynasty.
"Are you Yanshenggong?" Descendants of the Kong family will be named Yanshenggong by the court. However, Yanshenggong already lives in Qufu, Shandong, which seems... It seems to be Shanxi.
"When Mr. Yansheng saw my husband, he had to call me grandpa." The old man didn't speak, but the old servant next to him spoke.
Li Xiao had met Yan Shenggong named Kong, but it wasn't that he didn't remember his name. It was just that he couldn't pronounce his name. Confucius and Li Xiao knew him. But the other two characters in his name, Li Xiao had never seen in his two lifetimes. Popular
The song "Uncommon Words" is not included!
When Li Xiao was in Shandong, he met Yan Shenggong, a local snake. It seemed that the old guy was already over sixty years old. He actually had to call the old guy in front of him grandpa. How long does it take for the old guy in front of him to live?
I'm afraid I won't be a hundred years old...!
"Old Ancestor! Li Xiao is so polite here!" This age is a respectable age. Li Xiao wanted to ask him how he lived to a three-digit age.
"I came to see you today because of one thing. What do you think of Confucianism?" The old guy got straight to the point.
"Confucianism...!" Li Xiao really never thought about this problem. In the past, he had a stereotype in his mind that these people are old stubborns full of feudal ideas. They have delayed many opportunities for China's rise!
But after personal experience, Li Xiao was a little confused. Among the Confucian scholars, there were bastards like Wen Tiren, Qian Qianyi, and Ma Shiying. But there were also knowledgeable people like Sun Chengzong, Zhang Huangyan, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Yang Sichang.
I don’t think I don’t know, but I’m shocked when I think about it. They are all people who have read the Four Books and Five Classics. Why is there such a big gap?
ps: Today’s 520, I wish all lovers in the world will eventually become brothers and sisters.
