"The donor is still seriously injured, so it's best not to worry too much about worldly matters." Yu Zhenzi said.
"My father and son from the Yan family are all at Longtou Pass, how can I not care?" Yan Yun said with a bitter smile, "Even if the Taoist Priest didn't tell me, I can guess the result. I just need a practical response."
"Pindao passed through Hukou Pass three days ago, and the Qiang people are attacking the city."
"That's it……"
Yu Zhenzi did not directly state the current situation of Longtou Pass, but Longtou Pass was the first barrier against the Qiang people. Since the Qiang people had already reached Hukou Pass, Longtou Pass had naturally fallen.
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhenzi’s next sentence was even more shocking!
"I heard that Huangshuiguan only supported it for three days before the Qiang invaded the city."
"What?" Yan Yun was shocked by this news. His wounds were affected, and he winced in pain. Now that the Huangshui Pass is broken, the Qiang people can go straight to Fenglindu, cut off the supply line of Hukou Pass, and at the same time attack Hukou Pass from both front and back.
Hukou Pass is surrounded by enemies from both sides and is isolated and helpless. The Qiang people have led their troops to attack the city too hastily. If they are trapped and do not attack, the city will be destroyed if the food and grass are cut off. In this way, the entire large territory west of Fenglindu will be destroyed.
It will become the pastures of the Qiang people. These three cities are important border towns that have been protected by the Yan family for generations. They are bound by honor. It is understandable that Yan Yun feels heartbroken.
After a long time, Yan Yun recovered and asked, "Has the Taoist Master heard any news about my father and brother?"
Yuzhenzi shook his head.
When the nest is overturned, there are no eggs left intact. Since there is no news about the Yan family's father and son to the outside world, there is no need to elaborate on what the result will be.
It was expected that the Qiang people would attack Hukou Pass and Huangshui Pass. However, there were 60,000 defenders at Huangshui Pass. Even if they were to kill pigs, they would not be able to kill them all in three days. How could they break the city in three days?
The Yan family and his son struggled to hold on at Longtou Pass for three months. Huangshui Pass refused to reinforce. If it was to preserve their strength, it would be justified. But it was completely unreasonable to be defeated in three days. You must know that the Qiang people were already tired after they captured Longtou Pass.
, the soldiers guarding the city at Huangshuiguan are all fresh troops! The secret behind it is unknown, but it is enough to show that there is a big problem in the Dayu Dynasty.
Could it be that those two witches were causing trouble?
Yan Yun was furious, and if there was a chance, he would get to the bottom of the unreasonable things and give an explanation to his father and brother who died tragically.
As everyone knows, Yu Zhenzi has long discovered that Yan Yun was injured by a strange person, and the magic power seeped into the injured muscles, so he ordered Yuan Tai to carry him into the temple and personally treat him. As a cultivator of immortality, Yu Zhenzi can ignore the disputes in the world.
, but once a strange person interferes with the general trend of the world, he cannot stay out of it.
For this reason, Yu Zhenzi also went to the three passes of Longtou, Huangshui and Hukou. Except for finding some clues about strange people at Longtou Pass, he found nothing at Huangshui Pass and Hukou Pass. Then he returned to Xiaozhongnan Temple.
Of course, there is no need for Yu Zhenzi to explain some of the rules in the world of immortality to Yan Yun, a mortal.
"I wonder what the general's plans are after he recovers from his injury?" Yu Zhenzi suddenly looked at Yan Yun with burning eyes.
"Return to the royal city and serve my mother."
"Can the general repay Pindao with his birthright?" Yuzhenzi smiled and said, "Without him, Pindao knows a little about the four-pillar prediction technique. It's just a technicality."
Yu Zhenzi got Yan Yun's birth date, so he sat aside and started counting with his fingers.
"Taoist Priest, I don't know where your four disciples are. I would like to express my gratitude in person for the grace of being alive."
"Donor really wants to see them?"
"This is natural, what's wrong with it?"
"Without him, two of the poor disciples are so ugly that they intimidate the general."
"Two armies are facing each other, life and death are on the line. Apart from death, what other terrible things are there in this world?"
"Haha, that's true." Yu Zhenzi suddenly raised his voice, "You have been listening for so long, so come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared on the wall, like a willow blowing in the breeze, standing quietly in front of Yan Yun.
This woman, with bright eyes and white teeth, was dignified and majestic. She held the Yin Yang Zi Wu Jue in her hands, bowed and said with a smile: "Almsgiver is merciful."
Immediately afterwards, another object fell in front of Yan Yun. Yan Yun swept his eyes away, but there was nothing in front of him.
"No wonder Master cares so much about the donor. I know a little bit about it."
The sound came from Yan Yun's feet. He looked down and saw a macaque wearing a Taoist robe, but it looked a bit like a human - a strange man!
Yan Yun met the strange Xiong Nu in the East Wolf King's army, which led to his failure. He felt very complicated for a while, but he couldn't mention this matter, lest it would make this strange person feel bad.
"And me..."
Yan Yun's eyes flashed as he saw a petite and nimble young woman hovering in the air with her wings fluttering. She also said "mercy" in a decent manner.
But after Yan Yun waited for a long time, only three of Yu Zhenzi's so-called four disciples appeared, and where was one more?
Qingchan said: "Senior Brother Yuantai, why don't you come in?"
"It's better not to see him. He just woke up. If he was scared to death, wouldn't our three days of work have been in vain?" A loud voice came from outside the wall.
"Brother Immortal, what are you talking about? Although I am currently weak, I am not unstoppable." Yan Yun said calmly.
"You said it yourself, don't blame me for being scared to death." As he finished speaking, an unusually tall figure appeared in front of Yan Yun's eyes, blocking out the sun's rays.
Yan Yun raised his neck and saw the man's face clearly.
To be honest, Yan Yun was really shocked, but he quickly calmed down and said with a wry smile: "These immortals are indeed strange people, and they will never forget their life-saving grace."
"Hehe, you are quite courageous for a mortal." Yuantai approved.
"If Brother Xian hadn't said it first, I would have been scared out of my mind." Yan Yun's words were not modest.
With the four disciples of Yuzhenzi present, it is impossible for the courtyard to be quiet. Especially Qingchan, who is always a chatterbox, and has almost never gone out while practicing in Xiaozhongnan Mountain. For Yanyun and others who come from the royal city, they have met
A person with a big world has many questions to ask, such as whether fighting is fun, how many enemies he has killed, how many soldiers and horses he has commanded, etc. It is a pleasure to ask.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Yu Zhenzi interrupted: "General, your destiny is roughly clear, do you want to hear it?"
Yan Yun said: "Please give me some advice from the Taoist Master."
Yu Zhenzi said: "You are destined to carry a canopy and commit the Seven Killings. You are a born monk."
Yan Yun didn't believe this and asked: "Can this so-called destiny frame a person's life?"
Yu Zhenzi smiled and said: "The general's question is very meaningful. Yes, fate is just a trajectory and cannot control a person's life. What a person pursues in life is definitely not what fate can realize."
"Before this, what I pursued was to build a successful career, shine the lintel of my family, and assist my elder brother." Yan Yun's eyes flickered, with tears faintly flashing, "But things went against my wishes. My father died and my brother died, which only increased my sadness and left me without a master.
, everything I see is nothingness, can Taoist Master teach me how to deal with it?"
"There is a common saying among the people, which is that at thirty, you will stand tall; at forty, you will not be confused; at fifty, you will know your destiny. Have you ever thought about what these three sentences mean?"
"Never thought about it."
"How do you think these three sentences can be explained?"
“You’re thirty, do you want to start a family and start a business at the age of thirty?”
"People already get married and start families when they are more than ten years old. Why do they have to wait until they are thirty?"
"This..." Yan Yun couldn't answer.
Yu Zhenzi seemed to want to take this opportunity to educate his disciples and cast his eyes on them, but they all shook their heads like rattles.
"Pindao has his own opinions on this. General, learn from yourself."
"Appreciate further details."
"There is a saying that a gentleman who is strong in the way of heaven strives to constantly strive for self-improvement, and a gentleman who is kun in the land uses virtue to carry things forward. Whether we are practitioners or ordinary people, we all take this as the foundation. In short, it is the unity of heaven and man, and obeying heaven.
"Yingren." Yu Zhenzi said in a deep voice, "At the age of thirty, you have already understood the secular world, and you should follow the right path and act upright; at the age of forty, you have gone through many vicissitudes, and you should no longer have doubts about your ambitions; at fifty
When you are old, your vision and experience have reached a certain level, and you should know what your ambitions are. This is our destiny."
After Yuzhenzi finished speaking, he looked up at the sky and was speechless for a moment.
Yan Yun had never understood the meaning of these three sentences in depth before. Although Yuzhenzi explained it from the perspective of a monk, he also had his own reasons.
So, what is the destiny of a cultivator like Yu Zhenzi?
Yan Yun was also out of curiosity and asked, "Excuse me, Taoist Master, but I have a question."
"General, you want to ask me about my destiny?" Yu Zhenzi's deep eyes were gleaming. He glanced at Yan Yun and laughed, but did not answer.
Then, Yu Zhenzi waved his hand, and a long sword suddenly appeared at his feet. Using the sword as a boat, he rose up and disappeared behind the majestic boulder on the top of the mountain.
