Seeing the four words "Zhang Liang's Notes" written on the cover, Zhang Yun couldn't help but feel something in his heart: "There is only one Zhangjiazhuang in the mountains with a radius of dozens of miles of 'Dikeng'. If someone with the surname Zhang appears in this range... would it be possible?"
What does it have to do with our Zhangjiazhuang?"
While Zhang Yun was thinking about it, he couldn't wait to open the book of brocade and read it carefully. The book of brocade was written with a brush and small seal script. The font was beautiful yet majestic, soft yet firm. He couldn't help but nod secretly and was filled with admiration.
!
The preface of Jinshu contains a brief introduction to Zhang Liang's life. The original text reads: My surname is Zhang, my given name is Liang, and my courtesy name is Zifang. I was born in the city of the early Han Dynasty, now in Baofeng, Henan Province. My ancestors were originally nobles from Yingchuan County, South Korea, and for three generations they were
Prime Minister Han’s real name is Han.
After Qin destroyed Korea, I attempted to restore Korea and made friends with assassins. I failed to snipe Qin Shihuang in Gubolangsha and fled to Xiapi, which is now Gupi Town, Suining County, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province.
During the peasant uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty, he led his troops to defect to Liu Bang and became his main "think tank".
Soon he persuaded Xiang Yu to establish the Korean nobles as the King of Han and to serve as Han Shentu. In the name of Han Shentu, he led the army to help pacify Guanzhong. After Liu Bangxi entered Wuguan, he used tricks to defeat the enemy in Yaoxia;
At the Hongmen Banquet, I helped Liu Bang escape from danger; during the enfeoffment of Bashang, I invited Hanzhong for the King of Han.
After the King of Han was killed by Xiang Yu, I was able to return to Liu Bang and become his important adviser. During the Chu-Han War, Liu Bang adopted strategies such as not establishing descendants of the Six Kingdoms, uniting with Yingbo and Peng Yue, and reusing Han Xin.
, and advocated pursuing Xiang Yu and annihilating the Chu army, laying a solid foundation for Liu Bang to complete his great cause of unification.
Liu Bang once praised: "In planning and planning, the decisive victory can be achieved thousands of miles away, because of the skill of Zifang"!
After the work was completed, I retired in time, avoiding the fate of Han Xin, Peng Yue and others who had lost all their power!
When Zhang Yun saw this, he couldn't help but admired: "He is indeed a great man of his generation, as a man should be!"
He was so excited that he became even more curious about the contents of the book, and he quickly read it carefully.
The following meaning translated into modern vernacular means:
After Qin destroyed Han, I went to the East to meet Lord Canghai and jointly formulated an action plan to murder Qin Shihuang. Even my brother was reluctant to spend money to bury his brother after he died, so he just found a mat and buried it hastily.
Next, I spent all my wealth, found a strong man, and made him a big hammer weighing 120 kilograms, which is about 60 kilograms today, and then sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of Qin Shihuang during his tour.
In the 29th year of the First Emperor of Qin (218 BC), the First Emperor of Qin made an eastward tour. I quickly learned the news that the First Emperor’s parade was about to arrive at Yangwu County, which is now the eastern half of Yuanyang County. So I commanded the strongmen to ambush them there.
A must-visit place in Yangwu County - Gubo Langsha.
Not long after, a convoy of thirty-six vehicles was seen from a distance heading towards Bolangsha from the west. A gong was sounded in front to clear the way, followed by a cavalry team clearing the field. A black flag honor guard walked at the front. On both sides of the convoy, officials of all sizes cheered in front of them.
Seeing this, Hercules and I determined that it was Qin Shihuang's motorcade that had arrived. We couldn't tell which one was Qin Shihuang's car. We only saw the most luxurious car in the middle of the motorcade. So I directed Hercules to attack the car.
A 120-pound sledge hammer knocked the passenger to the ground.
I took advantage of the chaos and got into the reeds and fled the scene. Later I heard that the strong man was killed by the Qin army. Our interception accidentally hit the deputy car and retreated in vain!
I failed in my attempt to attack the King of Qin and was wanted on a wanted list. I had to hide my name and hide in Xiapi (now north of Suining, Jiangsu), waiting for the news.
One day, when I was walking on the bridge in Yishui, I met an old man wearing a linen robe. When the old man walked up to me, he deliberately threw his shoes off the bridge, and then arrogantly said to me: "Boy, go down and give me some help."
I pick up shoes."
I was a little stunned at the time, but I still suppressed my dissatisfaction and picked it up for him. Then, the old man stood up again and ordered me to put it on for him. At this time, I really wanted to punch him!
But at this time, I am no longer a young child. I have experienced the vicissitudes of the world for a long time and have gone through all kinds of hardships in wandering life, which makes me more mature. I suppressed my anger, knelt in front of me, and carefully helped the old man put on his shoes.
Instead of thanking him, the old man turned his back and walked away with a long smile.
I stared blankly for a long time, but then I saw the old man walking out of the land of Li Xu and returning to the bridge. He praised me and said, "You boy can be taught!"
He also asked me to meet at the bridge in the early morning five days later. I was overjoyed immediately, knowing that I had met a master from this world, and I quickly knelt down and agreed respectfully.
Five days later, when the rooster crows, I hurried to the bridge.
Unexpectedly, the old man had already arrived on the bridge in advance and was waiting at the end of the bridge. When he saw that I was late, he shouted loudly: "How can the agreement between the young man and the old man be delayed? Come back in five days!" After that, he turned and left.
.
As a result, I was one step behind the old man again the second time.
The third time, I simply went to the bridge in the middle of the night to wait for the old man's arrival.
This time the old man was very happy and said that I had withstood his test and his sincerity and forbearance moved him.
So he gave him a book and said: "If you understand this book thoroughly, you can become the teacher of the king, prolong your life, and enter the threshold of the world of immortality. Ten years later, the world will be in chaos. You can use this book to build a country. Thirteen
Come and see me here again in the next year!”
After that, the old man walked away.
Later I learned that this old man was the mysterious figure in the legend: Huang Shigong, a Taoist priest who hid in a cave, also known as the "old man on the ruins". I later respectfully called him the "immortal master".
The book given by the immortal master is called "Su Shu". The first part is a "Tai Gong Art of War" with several chapters. The art of war is all-encompassing, a masterpiece of wisdom, including the method of attacking a city and forming formations, and the art of commanding an army.
Strategizing strategies, ways to win hearts and minds...
The middle part of "Prime Numbers" is a piece of "Huangshi Gua Shu". This hexagram technique can even reveal the secrets of heaven and have the ability to predict the unknown. Used in combination with "Tai Gong's Art of War", it will allow me to be victorious in every battle on the battlefield.
, and made extraordinary contributions to the foundation of the Han Dynasty...
The second half of "Prime Number" is an article about "Basics of Immortal Cultivation" and "How to Use the Basic Spells of the Five Elements". It is suitable for junior practitioners to practice during the Juyuan Stage. After completing the practice, they can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and their life span will be doubled.
If by chance you can enter the next realm and learn the five elements of cultivation, you will be able to achieve great success in the future...
Zhang Yun couldn't help but be excited when he saw this, and a long-lost memory came to his mind again:
"Is everything written in "Secrets of the World of Immortality-Manuscript" true? This matter is mentioned again in this book. Doesn't cultivation of immortality really come out of nothing? If you can cultivate like what is said in this book,
If I can 'fly to the sky and escape from the earth', then there is hope for me to leave this place!"
Then I continued reading with excitement and anticipation:
In the following time, I studied the art of war, studied the art of hexagrams, and practiced according to the "Basics of Immortal Cultivation**". Finally, ten years later, I had some success in the art of war and the art of hexagrams, and I had reached the late Juyuan period.
Realm, and according to the "Five Elements Basic Spell Usage" mentioned later, you can practice the art of expelling objects, and you can fly in the sky with a sword.
This year (208 B.C.) was exactly what the immortal master had said before, the period of great chaos in the world in ten years.
The second Qin Dynasty was barbaric and wicked, and the people revolted. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and I are old friends. I want to persuade him to make him the king of Han. I will assist him and use Xiang Yu's troops to regain my territory in Korea.
But in this period of chaos in the world, I can't worry about my relatives at home. I want to put them in a good place so that I can have no worries and then pursue the great cause of restoring national security.
Last year (207 BC), I once flew with my sword over the mountains at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou, and found a place covered with clouds and mist. It was very strange and weird!
Driven by curiosity, I lowered my clouds and went to investigate, and found that the sky formed a sky under the clouds and mist, which was extremely magical! Moreover, the spiritual energy of the five elements of heaven and earth was very rich, making it a suitable place for seclusion and cultivation.
That place was just used to settle my family. After making the decision, I secretly selected a group of young and strong children from the family, and while they were sleeping, I cast a spell to make them fall asleep.
They were brought here in several batches and left with their daily necessities, allowing them to survive on their own.
Seeing this, Zhang Yun couldn't help but be startled: "This senior is indeed the ancestor of our Zhang family. It seems that the people who kowtowed before were not unfair!"
Continuing to read on, the following describes some of Zhang Liang’s deeds in assisting the Han Dynasty and some of his great achievements, skipping them one by one...
In the spring of the second year of the Han Dynasty (205 BC), the thirteen-year appointment with the immortal master came. At this time, I had reached the peak state of Juyuan. I was only one step away from entering the liquid condensation stage. I was very proud of myself.
So Liu Bang and I asked for leave to go home, which lasted from a few months to a year. Liu Bang's situation was very good at the time, so he agreed casually.
Then, I came to a deserted place, cast a spell to fly with my sword, and rushed to the Yishui Bridge to meet the immortal master.
When I landed at the bridge with my sword, the Immortal Master was already waiting on the bridge. I quickly stepped forward to salute and kneel down, but he was angrily rebuked:
"There is a difference between immortals and mortals. Am I teaching you immortal magic just so that you can show off in front of others? In the future, remember not to expose the magic of the immortal family to others, otherwise I will destroy your entire cultivation!"
I was so frightened that I broke out in cold sweat and didn't even dare to say anything.
Seeing my sincere repentance, the immortal master asked me to get up, and then took me to his training place, Huangshi Mountain. Next to a yellow stone platform on the top of the mountain, I formally worshiped him as my teacher. After that, my mentor gave me a spiritual elixir.
And help me successfully condense the liquid.
Seeing that I have a water-attribute spiritual root, he gave me a basic article "Water Soft True Art", an intermediate spiritual treasure "Blue Light Sword" and a storage bag. There are some elixirs and jade slips in the storage bag.
And he selflessly shared some of his experiences in cultivation with me!
Cultivation has no time, and nearly two years have passed in the blink of an eye. After two years of getting along, I was deeply moved by this loving and selfless old man!
Before leaving, my mentor called me into the cave, and after receiving my great ceremony and paying homage, he said:
"Disciple! My fate as a teacher ends today. I have been cultivating Bajiazi for many years and cannot go any further. Now my life is short. In the next time, I want to travel around the world and see these great rivers and mountains.
!”
"You don't have to look for me, and I will never see you again! I have already taught you everything I can teach you, and all my belongings have been given to you before!"
"Before I leave, I would like to advise you, 'You must know how to retire after success, and don't be greedy for the world of mortals!' After saying this, you can leave."
I knelt down and begged to go with my teacher and accompany him for the rest of my life. But he scolded me severely again. In desperation, I had no choice but to kneel down again and bid farewell to my mentor.
