"Therefore, those who keep the good path will be cut off from the evil path; those who keep the evil path by themselves without teaching them to go, will be cut off from the evil path." The Taiping Jing, Part 7,
Liu Xiongming breathed a sigh of relief. Since almost all the main combatants in the army died in Aoguan, as long as Luo Yao was persuaded, no one would have the strength to question his decision to surrender.
.
So he immediately asked someone to bring up the envoy from the mountain. The envoy was the village guide who took Wang Chang and others into the mountain. He was indeed an old acquaintance who had collected herbs in the mountain with Liu Xiongming.
The villagers originally thought that this trip would be dangerous and likely to escape death, but they did not expect that Liu Xiongming was so talkative and simply agreed to surrender. The only condition was that no innocent people would be harmed. The villagers and several accompanying guards were overjoyed when they heard this, and led them to surrender.
With this non-conditional condition, he hurried down the mountain, and the two parties began to formally contact each other to discuss the matter of surrender.
At this time, Luo Yao had returned to his residence, called his confidants Wang Dang and others, and said: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. If you want to find peace, you can follow Liu Xiongming and the others back down the mountain. In the future, you may either work in farming to support your family, or
Serving in the army will make life easier than before. If you don't want to, go back and clean up immediately, and we will leave from the back mountain later."
Wang Dang said anxiously: "Why is this! Why are we walking so smoothly? Even if there are thousands of people down there, with the strength of the mountain and the camp, we may not be able to hold on."
"Now the people are not united. This place has become a dead place. Even if we hold on, how long can we hold on?" Luo Yao had packed up the yellow clothes with leather crowns commonly worn by Taoist priests and put on light clothes. He glanced at Wang Dang sideways and said,
Said: "It's better to jump out and find another way of life."
Wang Dang couldn't help but cursed: "I knew Liu Xiongming was a coward who was afraid of death. There are people following such a person. It's really blind!"
He took a step forward and whispered beside Luo Yao: "Isn't it true that I left like this without a chance? Am I worthy of Mr. Qingniu's trust?"
Wang Dang, like his good friend Sun Qing, was once a Yellow Turban commander in Hanoi. Later, he followed Qingniujiao, a disciple of the great virtuous master, to Guanzhong. After his attempt to assassinate the emperor failed, Sun Qing was beheaded in the city. Only he and a few strong men survived.
Follow the green horns.
A month ago, the Liangzhou generals headed by Dong Cheng surrendered to the imperial court and the ban on Chang'an City was lifted. Only then did he receive instructions from Qing Niujiao to bring people and letters to find Luo Yao. Although Luo Yao was not considered a Taiping Taoist, he
They were somewhat friends with each other. Luo Yao read the letter, immediately gathered his men, and came to Fuche Mountain with Wang Dang.
"The fertile fields in Guanzhong are thousands of miles away, and the natural resources and geographical location are favorable. It is a rare place with great shape and form, and it is also the foundation of king's hegemony." Luo Yao motioned for the others to go down and pack their things, leaving Wang Dang alone. He paced to the window,
Looking at the rolling green mountains outside the window, he said softly: "Zhengfang made a good plan. He first used Yang Feng to gain Dong Cheng's trust, and then instigated him to go to Baibo. I expected Baibo to surrender without a fight because it was all his fault.
It was planned with General Baibo."
Luo Yao looked back at Wang Dang, who was dumbstruck, and said lightly: "By that time, Guanzhong will no longer be the place where his Han family flourishes, but the foundation for Taiping Road to become stronger again."
"Fuche Mountain is only a few miles away from Lantian, and Lantian is as close as a couch to Chang'an. As long as we stay here and wait for the Baibo army to surrender and rebel again, and Chang'an is in chaos, we will lead the army out of the valley immediately, and we can lay the foundation for
The overall situation. So we should not leave!" Wang Dang's eyes were filled with heat, and he was already moved by the great prospects Luo Yao said.
He thought he fully understood the intention of Qingniujiao sending him here, but he didn't expect Luo Yao to pour cold water on his head.
"I've made it so clear, haven't you understood? Do you think he sent us here to lie dormant and wait for a good opportunity? He clearly wants to use us as bait to induce the imperial court to send troops to annihilate us.
Luo Yao sneered and said: "The more stubborn we are here, the harder it will be for the emperor's generals such as Gaishun to get away. When the court has no one to lead the army, he can easily persuade Dong Cheng to subdue the Baibo army."
"
Seeing the shock on Wang Dang's face, Luo Yao said contemptuously: "We are just abandoned children who were plotted by him, but it doesn't matter. No matter how you plot, Mr. Qingniu in your mouth has already lost."
Wang Dangyou didn't believe it and said: "How can you say this? Even if we can't save the overall situation here, the Baibo Army has already agreed that we will eventually get Guanzhong!"
Luo Yao smiled, as if he was laughing at the fact that the other party had such childish ideas. He was slowly packing his luggage, and his eyes seemed to be immersed in the past, a magnificent past that made people excited every time he thought about it.
I saw him slowly saying: "The world has changed, and people's hearts have also changed. Even if he still has some back-ups that I don't know about, I'm sure he won't get what he wants. Because he figured it out wrong.
People's hearts are no longer the time when great teachers could raise their arms and bring chaos to the world with a few bowls of talisman water, a few prophecies, or a few proud disciples who secretly colluded with powerful officials to show off their power."
Wang Dang didn't understand what Luo Yao's sudden emotion meant. He cast a puzzled look at Luo Yao, but Luo Yao had no idea of continuing.
Luo Yao didn't let Wang Dang think about it for long. He packed up his things, walked straight to the door, and said to him: "Are you still here?"
Although "I" don't quite understand what Luo Yao just said, since Wang Dang knew that he was just an abandoned son, he no longer had the intention to continue to work for the Green Bull Horn. Moreover, no matter how brave a man is, his life will be in vain.
, instead of doing this, it would be better to follow Luo Yao.
Wang Dang had nothing to deal with, so he ran back to get some dry food and clothes, with a knife hanging on his waist. Then he caught up with Luo Yao at the intersection and asked, "Sir, where are we going next?"
Luo Yao didn't answer. He stood there, felt the cool breeze blowing from the mountains, and walked towards a path.
The king should know that this person is as good at predicting wind horns as the green ox horn, waiting for the wind in all directions to predict good and bad luck.
In fact, in the eyes of the ancients, this move was very mysterious, but if the emperors who traveled through time in later generations saw this place, they would definitely know that this so-called wind angle was just a way for Taoists with sensitive senses to identify a certain place based on the humidity and direction of the wind, and even the smell.
It's just good or bad. For example, if there is enough water vapor in the wind and there are no ponds nearby, a Taoist can judge that there will be rain in the future. Or if you smell a slight odor in the wind, you can know that someone is dead or there is something unclean at the source of the wind.
, thus judging that the place is unlucky.
This method of confusing people was not particularly brilliant in later generations, but in the eyes of Wang Dang and others, this move was no different from that of an immortal.
"Go to Hanzhong." Luo Yao walked ahead, followed by Wang Dang and a dozen of his cronies. His voice was clear and powerful, and it penetrated the dense forest and scared the birds away: "An old friend is still waiting for me.

This book will not contain any fantasy or plot that exceeds rationality. The stargazing, manna, and wind angles that appear in the book are all ancient Taoism, and stargazing is ancient astronomy. There is nothing to say about it. As for manna
In the author's opinion, Luo Yao is just like special forces using camouflage uniforms and other tools to hide their bodies. Luo Yao is only good at teaching people how to hide in the mountains and forests to avoid the government's corvee taxes. In addition, Feng Jiao has been explained in this chapter and will not be discussed here.
Mentioned, there is nothing strange about these things as long as they are explained clearly. Attached is Luo Yao Encyclopedia: Dictionary: In Xi Pingzhong, demons and thieves are rising, Luo Yao is the third assistant. In Guanghe Zhong, there is Zhang Jiao in the east, Hanzhong
