It is said that the world is in chaos now, heroes from all walks of life are fighting against each other, wars are everywhere in China, and the people are displaced like dead sheep. But there are still a few places where singing and dancing are still peaceful, and flowers are blooming. Needless to say, most of the Yuan Dynasty,
It was in the Pingjiang Mansion where Wu King Zhang Shicheng lived. Although soldiers with guns could be seen everywhere on the streets, it was still bustling with traffic, full of people, singing and laughing.
This seems to be the truth that everything must be reversed. After experiencing the bloody storm outside, everyone seems to be eager to enjoy a moment of stability and release the long-suppressed desires in the city. Of course, such a discussion is
Ignore the people at the bottom who have tried their best to come to the city and are struggling with hunger and illness.
On this day, at the crowded east gate of Pingjiang Mansion, a long queue formed early in the morning, stretching for dozens of miles. In the queue five or six miles away from the city gate, a handsome scholar said impatiently
He said to the young monk next to him, "I don't understand why we have to queue up? You said you should go in and see Zhang Shicheng, then we can fly in secretly and have a look."
The young monk didn't seem to know that there was such a long queue to enter the city, and the city gate search was very strict and slow. At this moment, when he heard the handsome scholar's complaint, he didn't know what to say. He touched his little bald head and sighed.
, "Okay." The implication is that this scholar will make the decision.
The scholar smiled mischievously at the young monk, put his hand on the young monk's collar, and flew up.
The people who heard the scholar calling King Wu by his name had previously stayed away as if they were encountering the plague. Now they saw the scholar grabbing the young monk and flying towards the tower like a bolt of lightning. They suddenly gathered around the two men just now.
Standing there, pointing and exclaiming, "It turns out it's a god descending to earth!"
This handsome scholar and young monk were none other than Guo Min and Wuxu. After last night, the two flew westward, and when they were approaching the boundary of Pingjiang Mansion, Wuxu suddenly wanted to enter Pingjiang Mansion again to see the king of Wu, Zhang Shicheng.
There is something happening today.
The sergeants guarding the city tower on the east side saw a white light coming towards them. They didn't know what they were doing, but they didn't dodge. Instead, they stepped forward with shouts and pulled the bright talisman arrows in their hands until they were full.
bow.
Wuxu felt a faint sense of danger for no reason. He saw those talisman arrows shaking slightly, and the arrows were shining with blue light under the sun. They were obviously not trivial and contained highly poisonous substances. Wuxu looked carefully and saw that there was something like the East China Sea painted on them.
The venom of the three-headed golden snake in the depths, if a mortal inhales this venom, it will be fine. If a monk inhales it into his body without an antidote, his spiritual power will be turbid and not run smoothly, and he will almost become a disabled person.
It is not easy to capture these three-headed golden snakes. Looking at the actions of the city guards just now, it is obvious that they only use the talisman arrows coated with the venom of the three-headed golden snakes as ordinary enemies. Wuxu couldn't help but secretly marveled: I didn't expect that the East China Sea Monster Alliance was so willing to fight.
Dafang actually equipped Zhang Shicheng's Pingjiang Mansion garrison with this rare monk's poison!
Suddenly, three monks flew out from the battlements and flew towards Wuxu and the other two. When they were still a few hundred meters away, one of the men in the middle waved his hand to stop the soldiers, while speeding up and rushing towards Guo Minshen.
Bowed deeply, and then said with a charming smile, "Chen Yu, the fourth generation disciple of Dongji Island, please see Master Guo."
I saw Guo Min, who nodded slightly, and led Wuxu slowly towards the city head under his guidance, while casually saying, "Without courtesy. My senior sister Pan and King Wu are in the city right now?"
Chen Yu followed Guo Min cautiously and replied, "Reply to my uncle, Master Pan and King Wu are both in Chengtian Palace right now. I don't know why my uncle came to Pingjiang Mansion this time for an important matter. My nephew is willing to do my best."
The work of dogs and horses.”
Wuxu, it's really disgusting to see a strong man in his thirties or forties, behind Guo Min, sucking his uncle into the air.
Guo Min glanced at the corners of his eyes and seemed to notice something, so he said to Chen Yu who was following him all the way, "It's nothing important, I'm just passing by. You can go about your business."
Chen Yu clasped his fists again, bowed deeply, and retreated respectfully.
Wuxu waited for him to go far away and sneered, "Uncle Guo, you are so majestic! I don't know what is important, but I am willing to do the work of a dog or horse."
Guo Min sneered twice, and he and Wuxu went down from the tower, stood on the street, and said just now, "You have been at the East China Sea Dragon Palace barrier during this period. I guess there must be many things that have happened besides the Quanzhen Sect's attack on Miaofa Peak in Lushan Mountain.
I don’t even know. That person just catered to me like this for a reason. Do you know that I always like this??”
Wuxu's heart was moved. He didn't look carefully last night. He only asked each other about their experiences during this time by the mountain stream. It was only this morning that Wuxu realized that Guo Min was at the ninth level of the mortal world at this moment, and he was even better than himself.
He is so superior, and there is a hint of Lamaism in his movements.
Just as he was about to ask questions, he saw two more monks, dressed in palace guard uniforms, falling from the sky and landing a hundred meters away. Then they walked quickly, saying that they were following the order of King Wu to greet Fairy Guo. So he had to keep silent.
Guo Min didn't show any pretense, he just jumped into the air again and flew straight out. He saw Wuxu stunned, "Isn't this afraid of shocking the world? Is it too disturbing to the people?" After a pause, Guo Min, who was a thousand meters away, looked back and urged,
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and fly after him. Looking down in the air, he saw pedestrians on the street below. They stopped slightly, looked up for a moment, cheered a few times, and then dispersed, minding their own business. Apparently they were used to it.
After a while, Wuxu followed Guo Min and flew to a majestic palace. This palace followed the style of maritime architecture. It was not very tall, but it occupied a large area. The palace was wide and thick, made of huge stones, with a middle
Mixed with golden nanmu, it can be made into a window or a roof, and dyes made from the blood of ferocious sea animals are painted on the temple body with various colorful patterns. Looking from a distance, it looks like a formidable sight.
The breath came to my face.
In the middle of the top outside the main hall, there is a small pavilion that looks like a bell tower, but it is made of a dragon's sinew, hanging a round jade. Under the sun, it moves slightly with the wind, and the white jade is looming among the red halo.
, emitting countless faint red lights, following the lines, rushing towards the four pointed eaves. Each of the four eaves is high and outward, facing the sky, the shape changes into a dragon head made of black copper.
.
Is this the Chengtian Palace? There is obviously a powerful formation. Wu Xu let out a breath and followed Guo Min slowly outside the palace door.
As soon as the two of them took a step forward and stepped in, they heard a familiar voice, "A few days ago, King Wu and I learned that my sister returned from Dadu to the south, and someone wanted to invite her, but instead she went straight to the East China Sea.
I'm sorry. I didn't know that my sister suddenly arrived at Pingjiang Mansion again. I really want to harm King Wu and my sister."
Wuxu raised his head, and sure enough, Pan Ruoxue was dressed in a gorgeous palace robe. As he spoke, he stood up slowly and walked to Guo Min. The affection on his face was beyond words.
On the stage where Pan Ruoxue had just stood up, there was currently sitting a middle-aged man with a long face and a high nose. He was wearing a python robe and a yellow beaded gauze hat. He was holding the dragon chair behind him with one hand and placing his other hand on the table with an awkward look.
Pan Ruoxue and Guo Min, the older sister and the younger sister, were looking at the audience with embarrassment.
Is this person Zhang Shicheng? Wuxu looked around secretly for a moment. He looked around and saw that there was a landline on the right. Sitting there was a general wearing black armor. His appearance was somewhat similar to Zhang Shicheng. He was either Zhang Shixin or Zhang Shide.
.Zhang Shide has been leading troops outside all year round. Now this person must be Zhang Shixin, who was named the prime minister.
When Pan Ruoxue and Guo Min stopped talking and reluctantly turned around and walked back, Zhang Shicheng laughed and said, "Miss Guo, your great presence has brought great splendor to the Chengtian Palace. Hurry and take a seat so that I can become a fairy.
Wash away the mundane world."
Guo Min immediately lowered his head, bowed slightly and saluted, "Thank you, King Wu, for your kindness." After saying that, he gestured to Wuxu to sit with him in front of the long table that was already filled with fine wine and delicacies, and then raised his glasses with Zhang Shicheng and Pan Ruoxue, who had already raised their glasses.
Zhang Shixin had a drink together.
After that, Pan Ruoxue's eyes wandered and she saw Wuxu sitting on Guo Min's left side. She laughed out loud and said, "Who is this master?"
Wuxu looked at Pan Ruoxue, whom he had stayed with for some time, and thought that now he had completely fooled him. He couldn't help but feel happy, and with a smile on his face, he clasped his hands and replied, "The young monk is a rough wandering monk, and his Dharma name is to watch the moon.
"
But she heard Zhang Shicheng smile at Pan Ruoxue and say, "My dear concubine, Fairy Guo usually walks alone. Since she can walk with this master this time, she must be an expert in Buddhism." After saying that, he raised the copper bottle and said,
"Come on, master, Zhang will have a drink with you first!"
Wuxu didn't expect Zhang Shicheng to be so straightforward. He called himself Zhang and wanted to have a drink with him. He couldn't pretend to be weird, so he raised his glass and faced him from a distance. While drinking, he looked at Zhang Shicheng again.
Everyone said that Zhang Shicheng was born as a salt seller and became the Queen of Wu. He was addicted to wine and sex and indulged in pleasure. How come it seems to me today that he is not only full of energy but also seems to be a monk. He is roughly on the fourth level of the mortal world. He can already rely on his
The magical weapon can fly and enter thousands of armies without any danger.
Looking at Zhang Shixin, the same is true. Although the cultivation of these two people is not worth mentioning in this hall, but through the ages, who among the princes and generals can be like this? Except for figures like the emperor who are almost mythical
.
Wuxu couldn't help but secretly send a message to Guo Min, "How come they also became monks?"
Guo Min calmly replied with three words, "The sky is beyond the sky." Then he quickly sent a message, "This is a long story. Have you finished reading it? After reading it, we will leave."
Wuxu was originally going to fly to Yingtian Mansion with Guo Min. On the way, passing by Pingjiang Mansion, Wuxu suddenly had an idea and wanted to see Zhang Shicheng and others with his own eyes. One reason was because Zhang Ruoyue was talking to him some time ago.
, vaguely mentioned, Master Lu Miaoying went to
Dongji Island was to prompt Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang to send troops to attack Zhu Yuanzhang from east to west; secondly, he was in later generations, reading history books and observing customs. Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas still have a good impression of it. What is "Jiu Sixiang"?
"Jiuniang Cake", "King Zhang Wu".
I later read the novel "Ping Zong Xia Ying Lu", in which the male protagonist, Zhang Danfeng, is the descendant of Zhang Shicheng. His interpretation of a heart-stirring chivalrous tenderness left a deep impression on Wuxu. Wuxu still remembers it to this day.
, in the subsequent film based on the novel, Zhang Danfeng and Yun Lei, played by Liu Songren and Michelle, are the most vivid.
Therefore, due to reason and emotion, both ancient and modern, I wanted to come to Pingjiang Mansion to take a look. However, I expected to see two shrewd and capable monks who hold high positions in the world.
At this moment, seeing Guo Min urging him, he thought for a while, then raised his glass and asked, "King Wu, you have been in Su for many years, and you have protected the country and the people. You have done light corvee and paid little tax, and you have protected the people in a dangerous situation for a while. It is really rare. But I don't know what to do next.
What are your plans?"
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent.
Zhang Shicheng, sitting lazily on the dragon chair, wiped his beard with his left hand, looked at the red and white halo above his head, and slowly said to Wuxu, "The master must have asked Zhang whether he was prepared to make an agreement with that Chen Youliang
Let’s attack Zhu Yuanzhang together.”
Wuxu did not deny it. He drank the wine, clasped his hands and said, "To be honest, a few days ago, the young monk met Lu Xianzi's master and apprentice. Lu Xianzi said that he would go to Dongji Island for a while and urged Dongji Island to send more manpower.
Help King Wu march westward."
Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Shixin couldn't help but look at each other, and then Zhang Shixin stood up and raised his glass and said, "I didn't expect Master Guanyue to have a relationship with Fairy Lu. I'm rude and disrespectful."
Wuxu had no choice but to drink another cup.
Zhang Shixin put down the wine glass, filled it again, and raised the glass to Guo Min, "Fairy Guo, this wine was taken from the contents of two of us brothers who went deep into Taihu Lake to kill several turtle spirits that were causing trouble and harming fishermen.
The elixir is made from East Sea pearls, soaked in an alchemy furnace with centuries-old daughter's red, and refined with the beautiful jade Sun Gathering Dragon Formation arranged by Fairy Lu in the palace for seventy-seventy-nine days. It can remove the coldness in the body and increase the righteousness of the aura.
.”
Guo Min smiled slightly and raised his glass, "Thank you King Wu and the Prime Minister. This wine is in line with the magic power of the Great Sun Tathagata that Guo Min is practicing now."
Wuxu looked on and was dumbfounded. In Pingjiang Mansion and Chengtian Hall, he and the Zhang brothers, who were born as salt traders and started a rebellion, inquired about the general situation of the world. In the blink of an eye, they turned into several outsider monks here to kill demons.
, refining alchemy and brewing wine, here comes the discussion of skills.
He has become an outsider. If he talks about whether to send troops or whether to attack Yingtian Mansion, he is afraid that if others don't say anything, he will look too vulgar.
Just as he was feeling depressed, Zhang Shicheng said from above, "Chen Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang both wanted to be emperors and were dying to kill us brothers."
Suddenly, an urgent message came from outside the palace. A monk held a token and flew to the door of the palace with a loud voice, "Report to the King of Wu. Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongdu has been lost. Western Zhejiang is in danger. Chen and Zhang's naval forces are fighting fiercely at Poyang Lake.
They are hurting each other, and now the Quanzhen Sect has occupied the mouth of the lake and cut off Zhu Yuanzhang's defense line in the water!"
His voice was sonorous and powerful, and his words flew into the hall like sharp knives.
Although Wuxu didn't understand military affairs, he knew something was wrong when he heard that Hongdu had been lost, that western Zhejiang was in danger, and that Zhu Yuanzhang's water defense line had been cut off.
But Zhang Shicheng smiled and said, "Zhu Yuanzhang, despite all his calculations, still missed the Quanzhen religion."
Wu Xu was afraid that Zhang Shicheng would take the opportunity to send troops to attack Yingtian Mansion. He was about to stand up to speak, but was quietly held down by Guo Min. He only listened to his voice message, "Be calm and don't be impatient."
Zhang Shicheng, holding the case with one hand, was thinking deeply.
In a moment, another monk flew out of the hall with a token in hand, sweating profusely, and said in a trembling voice, "Report to the King of Wu that the Shandong Yuan Army is 500,000 strong. The troops are divided into two groups and are attacking Yingtian Mansion and Hepingjiang Mansion respectively.
.”
Zhang Shixin stood up suddenly and asked loudly, "Who is the leader in the direction of Pingjiang Mansion?"
Then I heard a reply from outside, "This time, the person in charge is Kuaikuo Timur. In the direction of Pingjiang Prefecture, the person in charge of the army is Hualihu, who leads 200,000 troops and more than 1,500 lama monks."
People! Now we are approaching Changzhou Road."
Changzhou and Pingjiang Prefecture are very close to each other, and there are dangerous mountains and rivers.
Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Shixin immediately flew out.
After a while, Wuxu knew that Pingjiang Mansion had implemented a curfew, and the King of Wu personally led the army to march to Wuxi to resist the Yuan army.
As the saying goes
The life after returning from overseas is different, ordinary people bend their bows and shoot at fairy children.
Princes, generals and ministers also practice Taoism. Who understands the joys and sorrows of immortals and secular people?
