Chapter 7 Who is the roost

Everyone here has different expressions. Ren Chen only sees his "dragon", Li Jiyu only sees his "Li", Zhang Ding only sees his "Zhang", and Taoist Ma only sees his "Shun". Only Shen Jingbang is confused.

I don't understand what it means; only Zhang Shun is depressed and worried about the world. Even though he is usually used to keeping calm, he has broken his skills this time.

It turns out that when Zhang Ding heard "Someone brought a long bow", he solved the word "Zhang", and when Li Jiyu heard "Eighteen children entered the capital", he solved the word "Li", and each of them felt that they should do something about it.

When Ren Chen heard "Only then did he know that there is a real dragon in the sky", he thought to himself: Among the heavenly stems and earthly branches, Ren Chen is the dragon. Ren Chen and Ren Chen have the same pronunciation. The last two sentences should be interpreted as: There are eighteen young generals.

After conquering the capital, everyone knew that I, Ren Chen, was the True Dragon Emperor in Shuntian Mansion.

So Ren Chen said: "Actually, I think this poem should be interpreted based on the heavenly stems and earthly branches."

"Heavenly stems and earthly branches? But the chronology? Where is the chronology in this poem? Eight oxen, this year of the ox? Oh, there is no need to solve this, it has been solved. What about the wooden monkey? A is wood, Shen is monkey, this is A

Shen Nian?" Chen Jindou said in surprise.

Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and all praised Ren Zhuangzhu for his correct interpretation, which only made Ren Zhuangzhu feel uncomfortable: Oh, can't any of you understand the word "Dragon"? What the hell is this Jiashen year?

Zhang Shun was horrified when he heard this. Although he didn't understand the heavenly stems and earthly branches, he remembered that someone in his previous life wrote an article called "Jiashen Three Hundred Years Sacrifice", which seemed to be a sacrifice to the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Shun didn't know

In which year did the Ming Dynasty fall, but he happened to know this "Jiashen". As a materialist, he originally stayed away from these nonsense things. At this time, he couldn't help but feel shaken.

This poem predicts both Li Zicheng and Jiashen. Is it true that the fate of the world cannot be changed?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun felt unwilling and asked: "According to your explanation, wouldn't the real dragon be the same year?"

"That's right, it's not impossible. In the Year of the Dragon, there are Jiachen, Bingchen, Wuchen, Gengchen, Renchen..." Chen Jindou looked back in shock, "Master Ren! What are you?"

"Ah? What a coincidence! I am not a real dragon emperor, so be careful what you say!" Village Master Ren said reservedly.

Taoist Master Ma smiled brightly after hearing this, with disdain on his face, and thought to himself: After solving Jiashen just now, I thought of Renchen. Such an unpopular solution is just forced. There is nothing in life that you can force, and you are not afraid of your own life or family being ruined!

Zhang Shun was very happy after hearing this, and thought: There is such a way to explain it, and to say such prophecies, basically anyone can apply it to himself.

Zhang Shun only knew that these eighteen children were named "Li", but he didn't know that in the original world, after the Qing army entered the Pass, Shunzhi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor at the age of six, and reigned for a total of eighteen years, which is exactly what happened.

The theory of "Eighteen Children". When Zhang Xianzhong raised his army, he gathered farmers from his hometown in the Eighteen Villages to raise the army. If he responded to this round of "Eighteen Children", it would be reasonable. Even Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang, and Zheng Chenggong could almost be relied on.

Above, let’s not mention it for now.

It was just a coincidence that Chen Jindou caught a glimpse of Taoist Master Ma's expression at this time. He thought: "This old Taoist with a strong nose seems to have some Taoist skills. Maybe he can figure out something. I will ask more about it later."

Let's say that at the banquet for several people, the guests and the host had a great time, and dispersed happily to rest. Only Chen Jindou had something on his mind, so he sneaked into Taoist Master Ma's room.

"I don't know why you are here?" Taoist Master Ma was about to take a rest, but he could only force himself to deal with it.

"I see that the Taoist priest's thoughts are different from mine. I don't know what my opinion is on these poems and prophecies, but it doesn't matter!"

Although Taoist Master Ma despised him for looking like a wretched villain, he felt that the others here were actually heroes, so he decided to pass the message through him, and replied: "I already know who the real dragon is, and today I just want to verify it."

Just two.”

"You mean Master Ren?" Chen Jindou asked strangely.

"No, no! There is someone with a long bow, Zhang Ye, which means that Zhang's surname destroyed the Ming Dynasty; three hundred and eight people, Shun Ye, means that the name of the founding emperor of the new dynasty is taboo."

"You mean the right man is a man named Zhang Shun? But this doesn't match up with the Book of Heaven in my dream?"

"Do you still remember the last sentence? Only then did we know that there is a real dragon in Shuntian. This Shuntian does not refer to the Shuntian Mansion of the capital, but to the world of 'Zhang Shun'."

"Then what's the explanation for 'Eighteen children entering the capital'?"

"Perhaps his general surnamed Li conquered the capital first, or his eighteenth son entered the capital, or even other pioneers who were kings may have conquered the capital first. None of this is important. The important thing is to know the true dragon

Who is it? If you follow the practice of following the dragon, even if you are in trouble, you can turn it into good luck." Taoist priest Ma said meaningfully.

"In this... huge sea of ​​people, there are countless people named Zhang Shun, how do you know them?" Chen Jindou asked, scratching his head.

"Far away in the horizon, yet so close!"

"You mean that Li San? I haven't seen anything different about him?" Chen Jindou said in surprise.

"The bones on the top of the head and the eyes with double pupils are no different from ordinary people?" Taoist Master Ma said aggressively.

"Ah? The moon is dark tonight, so I can't take a closer look. So that's how it should be!" Chen Jindou murmured to himself.

"Oh? Any other words of prophecy?" Taoist Master Ma was also a little surprised.

"There is a saying in the original heavenly book: Yao's fire burns, Shun is born from earth; earth overcomes water, and metal is revived! I have never understood its meaning, so it seems that Zhu Ming's virtue according to Yao belongs to fire, and Zhang's virtue according to Shun's belongs to earth, which is contemporary

Ming Ye. As for the words about water and metal, they may be prophecies for hundreds of thousands of years, so there is no need to check them yet."

"There are such words? It is God's will to help us! Are you willing to accompany me to meet the lord?" The words of the two prophecies matched each other perfectly. At this time, Taoist Master Ma not only bowed to him, but it was indeed destiny.

"No need for the moment, I heard you just said that there may be a general named Li under my lord's command to attack the capital. But there is a person here who has the talent of a general, and that is Li Jiyu at the banquet. He is not as powerful as the owner of the village.

He is originally a farmer from Tangzhuang, but he has considerable military prestige. He has always made friends with heroic miners, and his ambition is not small. Let me tell him in a smooth tongue that he will serve under the lord as a greeting." Mr. Chen Jindou said.

A bit wretched, but also somewhat ambitious.

Taoist Master Ma couldn't help but think highly of him, and said: "That's very good. From now on, you and I will be officials in the same dynasty, and we are the first people to follow the dragon. We should support each other and move around more."

The two of them haven't even exchanged their horoscopes yet, and they have already begun to form cliques for personal gain.

But on the second day, Mr. Li and Mr. Qian transferred the grain to the oxcart, but they didn't sleep all night and were not allowed to go on the road. Everyone disturbed Ren Zhuangzhu's house for another night. Ren Zhuangzhu only said that he had his destiny.

Winning over everyone more enthusiastically, he looked like a courteous and virtuous corporal.

And Chen Jindou and Ma Daozhang tried to win a few people to surrender to their lord, and also deliberately got close to others. When Li Jiyu and Zhang Ding saw how enthusiastic everyone was, they both felt that they might be very human.

Except for Zhang Shun himself, who remained stable and stable, the other three people each had their own misunderstandings and worked harder, which only made the atmosphere very lively. This incident made the others confused and did not know what was going on.

It wasn't until the evening that Chen Jindou went to see Li Jiyu privately, and Li Jiyu suddenly realized that this man was not trying to surrender to him, but was here to persuade him to surrender to others. Suddenly, he became angry and threw Chen Jindou out of the room.

On the third day, it was inconvenient for everyone to stay overnight, so they said goodbye to the owner of the village and went back their own way. It happened that Li Jiyu's family was in Tangzhuang, Dengfeng County, and he and everyone stopped by.

Li Jiyu was about to leave on his own, but Chen Jindou took the opportunity to say: "I want to go to Brother Li's house for the next two days, so let's go there on the way." Li Jiyu couldn't refuse in front of everyone, so he had no choice but to follow.

Along the way, Chen Jindou chattered endlessly and persuaded Li Jiyu: "You have the appearance of a fierce general. I look at your face, but you have the talent of a general. You should do great things."

Li Jiyu had a grudge that was difficult to resolve, so he ignored it.

It is more than 120 to 30 miles from Yuzhou to Dengfeng. After walking for two days, they arrived near Tangzhuang, but it was getting dark.

Under Chen Jindou's instigation, Li Jiyu had no choice but to invite everyone to go to Tangzhuang to rest. Although Li Jiyu was just an ordinary person and not as wealthy as the owner of the village, he still had a sense of heroism, and many people in the village took him as their leader.

As soon as Li Jiyu said this, more villagers came over to help, gathered some tables for food and drinks, and greeted such a large group of people. At first, Zhang Shun didn't take a closer look at their grain transport team. Later, after careful calculation, there were six boats.

There was only one ship; when it was replaced by an ox-cart, there were more than fifty carts.

There were sixty or seventy people in the carriage, some with one person per carriage, and some with two people per carriage. There were about fifty soldiers from the guard station escorting the transport, and all five small flags under General Li's command were here. Plus Mr. Qian

Together with the few slaves he brought, the total number was close to 150 people. This was very stressful for an ordinary village to entertain.

After everyone finally had enough to eat and drink, they set up tents outside the village to rest. Only a few leaders stayed overnight in the villagers' homes.

Zhang Shun, Ma Daozhang, Chen Jindou and Liu Yinggui were staying at Li Jiyu's home. There was no one else in Li Jiyu's home, only his wife.

Zhang Shun saw that there were so many villagers eating and drinking. Master Qian, who was in charge of money and food, just mentioned the matter of giving money. After being rejected by Li Jiyu, he settled down to drink and drink without mentioning it. He couldn't bear it. He borrowed a few taels of silver from Taoist Master Ma and gave it to him.

Li Ji met his wife.

Li Jiyu knew that this grain team was not owned by Zhang Shun, and he wanted to return it if he wanted it. Zhang Shun refused and said: "Brother Li, a man must have loyalty and love. You and I have only met each other, and you are like this."

I admire your heroic spirit. However, you live in poverty and enjoy your life, have you ever considered the feelings of your brothers and wife? You asked me to do things well, and I must not make it difficult for you to be a good person! You talk about loyalty, and we will do the same.

Friendship, otherwise I, Zhang Shun, will not be a good person."

Li Jiyu was very moved when he heard this. He had always loved watching "Water Margin of Loyalty and Righteousness". He believed that being righteous and sparing wealth was a hero, so he spent all his wealth to make friends with heroes, but he could only live a life of poverty with his wife. Despite this,

He also always met some ungrateful people who used a lot of money in vain.
