Lu Zhi could no longer take out the feather fan.
It fell to the ground with a "pop" sound.
The tea in the cup has already cooled down, and when I drink it, I can't help but feel the bitter taste.
Nanhua Taoist said:
"Fellow Taoist, let's look at the world today."
"On the dragon throne, Your Majesty cannot see the suffering in the world."
"The authoritarian eunuch practices evil arts and disregards human life and the law."
"Do you know how many people who are kidnapped and bought and sold from various places are sent to the mansions of eunuchs such as Shangshu Ling every day?"
Lu Zhi suddenly raised his head and said subconsciously:
"This is impossible!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he showed a wry smile.
I have no confidence in this so-called "impossibility".
Today's Han Dynasty is dominated by Hou Lan and Cao Jie.
It is no longer a big deal for these people to buy and sell official positions or divide their land.
If it is to practice evil arts...
In this case, wouldn't it be...
Nanhua Taoist said again:
"In today's world, yin and yang are chaotic, good and evil are intertwined, and they have long been blurred."
"Let's look at the Qiong Tower and Yu Yu. Five poisons are everywhere, and cause and effect are disordered."
"The suffering farmers picked up the sickle and hoe, looked up to the sky and questioned the injustice of the weather."
"What we got was nothing but more severe natural and man-made disasters."
"The suffering of the common people cannot stop the imperial power and the nobles from making noises all day long."
"A famous scholar, but he only wanted to make great contributions to the Qianqiu period, and buried the bitter hatred at his feet."
"Therefore, the demons and demons are everywhere, and the people will eventually go to a dead end."
"Finally, hatred, obsession with money, sex, and greed captivated the soul, and Gong Shangjiao Zheng Yu composed the destiny of the Han Dynasty."
"In the blink of an eye, fellow Taoist, human life...is it ever worth one or two silver coins?"
His questions were like thunder from the sky.
Lu Zhi couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up unsteadily, his face turned pale.
A trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
His eyes were full of complexity.
"Old Immortal...what a trick!"
"Even though I have lost so much Taoism, I still...ahem!"
Nanhua Taoist shook his head:
"The calculation is true, and the words are true."
"If you don't believe it, just go check it out yourself."
"Let's see how much clean water there is among today's big men."
Lu Zhi staggered back a few steps.
In the end, a look of shame fell on Tao'er.
He solemnly raised his hands and bowed slightly towards Tao'er:
"Today, I have to be taught by the little teacher."
"Lu Zhi...get it!"
yes.
Got it!
At this moment, why is Taoist Nanhua coming?
Why has Taoist Ziyang never opened his mouth?
Why bring a useless child?
Lu Zhi completely understood.
As he turned to leave, his smile was filled with unspeakable sadness. He couldn't help but look up at the sky.
There are green bamboos everywhere, which seem to block the sky, but they don't block the sunlight.
But while he was in Luoyang, where the light was shining, he had already ignored the people struggling to survive in the shadows beneath his feet.
A famous scholar?
The merit lies in Qianqiu?
hehe……
How ridiculous it seems now!
"Ahem!"
Lu Zhi covered his face with a feather fan, coughed out a mouthful of bright red, and left with a desolate figure.
Nanhua Taoist's eyes were slightly closed.
The tea on the table also evaporated.
finally:
"What a beautiful method." Taoist Ziyang shook his head: "Using the words of a child like Tao'er as a sword, I can directly break the Taoist heart of this great scholar!"
"From now on, this Lu Zhi no longer has any foundation in martial arts, literature, or... alchemy!"
"You destroyed him!"
"We can easily defeat him without relying on force!"
"It also solved a big problem for your apprentice Zhang Jiao!"
Nanhua Taoist smiled and stood up with Tao'er's support:
"You blame me?"
Taoist Ziyang shook his head:
"I'm not blaming you, but I'm worried."
"Lu Zhi is one of the few upright and famous officials in the Han Dynasty today."
"These people have the strongest luck in the Han Dynasty."
"You broke his Daoist heart and ruined his future, but you made him willingly suffer the loss."
"He is a gentleman, I don't blame you."
"God's will...will punish you."
"You didn't let Zhang Jue come, but you came yourself. Aren't you just trying to block this disaster?"
Taoist Nanhua smiled and waved his hand, indicating that the two of them would help him leave.
The moment he turned around, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of Taoist Nanhua's mouth.
Nanhua Taoist sighed softly.
Although the injuries on his body were a little more serious.
But luckily, it broke Lu Zhi’s Taoist heart.
Moreover, it is equivalent to informing Lu Zhi, Cao Jie and other eunuchs of the current problems.
Judging from the true intentions of Lu Zhi and other famous scholars, they would not let such a treacherous minister go.
After all... causing trouble to the government and the public is on the same level, and it may still be tolerated.
But if human life is so disrespected, these famous scholars will not let it go.
After all, if evil magic affects His Majesty, it will cause chaos in the world.
So this move to drive away wolves and tigers was clearly used by Nan Hua, clearly seen by Zi Yang, and Lu Zhi... also recognized it clearly.
Because I recognized it, I was convinced.
Even though these heart-wrenching words almost destroyed all his means.
…
At the gate of the city, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao looked at Taoist Nanhua nervously.
These two people were not disciples accepted by Nan Hua himself.
Strictly speaking, he is somewhat like an elder brother like a father, as he grew up under Zhang Jiao's personal guidance.
But even so, their character and methods are still far apart.
I sighed secretly in my heart, no wonder Zhang Jiao was so haggard.
Taipingdao was ultimately a peasant uprising and came from a poor background.
If we say there are talented and virtuous people, they are indeed too few in number.
Not to mention, among the thirty-six handsome men now, there are still some... who are also people with evil intentions.
After receiving the reply from Taoist Nanhua, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao could be said to be completely relieved.
They didn't even ask about the process.
Such carelessness also made Nanhua Taoist understand what the real problem of the Yellow Turban Uprising was!
If you can easily overthrow a dynasty by relying on the magic of spells, that would be... too naive to think.
Any magic technique will eventually have its limits.
Otherwise, with just a bowl of talisman water, people on the Taiping Dao can live forever.
…
Inside the room:
"Master has been implicated!" Zhang Jiao couldn't see that Taoist Nanhua was seriously hurt.
Nanhua Taoist said:
"Lu Zhi should not start a war these days."
"Send someone to quickly contact Qu Shuai across the country to avoid being defeated one by one."
"During the truce, you can practice hard with me and I will help you recover!"
…
On the other side, after Lu Zhi returned, he fell into a coma for three days and three nights just as Nanhua Taoist expected.
Three days later, Lu Zhi did not send troops. Instead, he asked his confidants to stabilize the situation while he hurriedly returned to the court.
Even if it is disrespectful to do so.
Therefore, when Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong saw Lu Zhi who had returned privately, and immediately led other scholars to question Cao Jie and others about their practice of sorcery, Liu Hong was furious.
Later, he was sent to prison due to Cao Jie's slander.
The so-called past attack was actually like a piece of waste paper, and it did not make Liu Hong have any intention of changing his mind.
However, without Lu Zhi, who will judge the Yellow Turban Army?
In the end, Cao Jie advised and chose Huangfu Song.
It's just that...the two people who followed Huangfu Song this time were the Hua family brothers and sisters.
In the Chen family's mansion, the Hua family brothers and sisters, who were scared away by Lei Fa, were in a desperate situation, and they immediately understood what they wanted.
Although what they seek is incompatible with the true "Tao".
But for them, that is their "Tao"!
What they want is to take "Tao" as their power and cover the sky with one hand!
Therefore, they directly abandoned all the teachings of Taoist Ziyang, took the initiative to find Cao Jie and Hou Lan, and cooperated with them.
This time, they went because Cao Jie and the two were worried that Huangfu Song would be as upset as Lu Zhi by his words.
When Huadaolou, Hua Wuchang, and Huangfu Song arrived at Guangzong City where they were stationed, they began a fierce attack.
Huangfu Song used troops no less than Lu Zhi, which was already a great pressure on Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao.
Plus Huadaolou, Hua Wuchang brother and sister.
…
Within the Yellow Turban Army, Taoist Nanhua once again helped Zhang Jiao stabilize his vitality, and then turned to Taoist Ziyang.
"I know why you came to me."
"You want to say...my apprentice has become possessed by the devil, right?"
Nanhua Taoist remained silent.
Taoist Ziyang couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I think back then, I was also the auspicious beast Bai Ze."
"Later, during the Chu-Han War, you changed your name to Han Xin, and I changed my name to Zhang Liang."
"I always feel that I can carry it better than you."
"Now it seems that I am too old-sighted when it comes to recruiting disciples."
Nanhua Taoist shook his head.
The most troublesome thing now is not Taoist Ziyang's attitude, but Hua Wuchang and Hua Daolou.
Now that he was seriously injured, he still had to maintain Zhang Jue's fate, so he was naturally at his wits end.
The only person who can fight against the Hua family brothers and sisters is Master Ziyang Taoist.
But...Taoist Ziyang is still technically a divinity. If divinity attacks human nature, it will suffer backlash.
Just like Taoist Ziyang himself said, no matter how miserable the Hua family brothers and sisters are, they still represent the Han Dynasty, and that is orthodoxy.
If divinity hurts humanity, it will be counterattacked.
Not to mention, this "violating orthodoxy" approach is also "violating the number of days".
How ironic it seems now.
After going around in a circle, the last thing he hit was his own foot.
"Zhang Jiao still needs to rest. There are some things I should do for him."
…
Another place.
Deep in the mountains and old forests, a small bamboo house has been erected.
Zhang Pingan, mother and son, live here leisurely and at ease.
It didn't take long to escape from the county town, but the life here made Zhang Ping'an feel satisfied, and he no longer had to think about the twists and turns.
only……
Zhang Ping'an felt a little depressed every time he thought of his master and Zhang Jiao.
He looked down at his green bamboo staff.
The luster of the green bamboo stick is still there, but for some unknown reason, more and more cracks appear on it.
This made Zhang Pingan very uneasy.
This situation is obviously a sign of unresolved disaster.
It's just that... he and his mother hid in such a secretive manner.
After all... who else would want to find them and possibly harm them?
