Liu Zhang and Guo Jia looked at each other, and Guo Jia asked: "May I ask, sir, what is your connection with the Five Pecks of Rice Sect?"
Zuo Ci sighed: "The person who founded the Five Pecks of Rice Sect was a poor fellow!"
"What?" Liu Zhang asked in shock: "Are you Zhang Ling's junior brother?"
"Exactly!" Zuo Ci said with a smile: "My master is a person born in the world, but he still has his own ideas, so Zhang Ling and I were allowed to be in charge of the same Taoism. However, my senior brother and I had differences, so it was convenient for us to practice in Qingcheng Mountain.
But my senior brother Zhang Ling founded the Five Pecks of Rice Sect in Heming Mountain."
"Then you are here to plead for Zhang Lu?" Liu Zhang's face suddenly turned cold.
Zuo Ci shook his head and said: "No! I just can't bear the severance of my senior brother's orthodoxy, let alone the suffering of the people in Hanzhong. Saving the people from fire and water is also a great merit."
"What on earth do you mean?" Liu Zhang asked coldly, and Zuo Ci could hear infinite murderous intent.
Zuo Ci quickly explained: "Champion, don't get me wrong, I just want to help you master the Five Pecks of Rice religion in Hanzhong!"
"Are you here to join me?" Liu Zhang's murderous intent dissipated.
"That's right!" Zuo Ci breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh!" Liu Zhang snorted coldly: "My subordinates are all talented people. Wen can secure the country and military can rule the country. What's the use of someone like you who is pretending to be a god and a ghost?"
"That's not what you said!" Seeing Liu Zhang doubting himself, Zuo Ci lost his temper and said with an unhappy face: "Everyone has his use. I can control Taoism in the world for the champion and make Taoism work for you.
…”
"Yes! Then let Taoism prevail over other religions, and then erode the imperial power..."
Liu Zhang snorted coldly: "Do you still want me to make Taoism the state religion, just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism?"
"This..." Zuo Ci hesitated: "The champion must govern the country as a family!"
Liu Zhang laughed and said: "Confucianism and law, and the integration of hundreds of schools of thought is the real way to govern the country! Ruling the country with one family's words is the art of subjugating the country! Taoism is natural, but it lacks enterprising spirit, and Confucian virtues are missing.
Bloody nature, as for Legalism, which kills human nature, are not advisable! Only inclusiveness is the best way to govern the country."
"This..." Zuo Ci looked blank, and Guo Jia, who was sitting next to him, also looked surprised. None of them expected that Liu Zhang actually knew the pros and cons of Bai Jia Zhi Yan.
Seeing Zuo Ci's eyes straighten, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Master Zuo, the Five Pecks of Rice Sect is deeply rooted in Hanzhong. I do need one person to control it, but I don't need it to fool the people!"
"What the Champion Hou means..." Zuo Ci looked at Liu Zhang with a puzzled expression.
In fact, Zuo Ci did not want to use the Five Dou Rice Religion to become a tool for the princes to make profits. However, if a religion wants to survive, it must obtain the consent of the court, and in troubled times, it must have the support of the princes, or become a prince. Zuo Ci since
He thought that the conditions offered were very generous, at least beyond his bottom line.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Tao can only make people yearn for a better life! I hope that the Five Dou Rice Religion will become a religion that guides people to do good, rather than a tool to fool people. I even hope that Taoist Zuo can get rid of those evil ways.
A trick to fool the people!"
"This..." Zuo Ci was a little stunned. He found that Liu Zhang was a little different from what he imagined. In order to understand Liu Zhang's thoughts, Zuo Ci asked: "The champion doesn't need the people to be loyal to you?"
"The people are not fools. They can see and feel whoever treats them well, so why use some weird tricks to get them to be loyal!"
"I understand! The Champion doesn't want anyone to use the name of Taoism to fool the people!" Looking at Liu Zhang with a smile on his face, Zuo Ci had an indescribable feeling.
"Not just Taoism, but all religions!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Whether it is Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Dharma, or Mohism, they should serve the people, not the princes. I hope that the purpose of Taoism can help the people live their lives.
It’s better! So, if you want to serve under me and be in charge of religion for me, you must have your abilities!”
Hearing this, Zuo Ci became eager to win. He took out a wine glass and said, "In that case, I would like to toast the champion!"
Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Use a hosta to cut this cup in two. How about you and I drinking together?"
"This..." Zuo Ci widened his eyes and asked, "Does the Champion know this technique?"
"Fa'er, don't show it to your eyes! You have "Dunjia Tianshu", but I have "Taiping Yashu"!"
"How come Nan Hua's "The Art of Taiping" is in the hands of the champion?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "One of my lord's wives is Zhang Jiao's daughter. Before Zhang Jiao died, he entrusted the lord with the Art of Taiping and his daughter!"
"In this case, I have to use my true skills! Look at the thunder in my palms!" Zuo Ci opened his hands, and his palms made two 'pop' sounds, and there was a faint light of fire.
"This is..." Liu Zhang stood up suddenly and asked, "Can you prepare this thing?"
"This is the Taoist Immortal Palm Heart Thunder, how can we use the word "preparation"?" Zuo Ci looked unhappy.
You know, Palm Thunder is an original skill created by Zuo Ci. Even his master can't do it. But Liu Zhang could smell the smell of gunpowder in the air. How could he not know what Palm Thunder is? Liu Zhang, who grew up playing with firecrackers, had no idea about this.
This smell is so familiar!
"What a thunderbolt in the palm of your hand!" Liu Zhang pointed at Zuo Ci and said, "It's good that this thing didn't hurt your palm!"
"Hiss..." Zuo Ci took a breath and murmured: "Impossible... This thing is my original creation. I have never told anyone about it. How did the champion know that it would hurt his hand?"
It turned out that when Zuo Ci was preparing gunpowder, he once injured his palm because of the wrong amount of gunpowder. Later, Zuo Ci gradually became more proficient and was able to prepare a palm mine that would not injure his hand.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "I also know several important raw materials in it, such as Glauber's salt, charcoal, sulfur..."
"This..." Zuo Ci said in despair: "It turns out that the thunder in the palm has been around for a long time. I was still complacent and thought it was something I invented..."
"There is no need for Master Zuo to do this. Although I know it, I can't do it!" Liu Zhang really couldn't bear to hit Zuo Ci any more.
Zuo Ci asked doubtfully: "Can't do it? Then how do you know?"
"Mononitrate, disulfide, and charcoal" In modern times, as long as anyone has watched landmine warfare, who doesn't know the most earthy gunpowder formula, but who can make it according to this formula? And Liu Zhang couldn't tell Zuo Ci that he had traveled through time
of.
"I've seen this thing in a dream, but the power in the dream is much greater than the thunder in your palm!" Since he couldn't tell the truth, Liu Zhang had to pretend to be ghosts and gods. Although he didn't like to pretend to be gods, there were many unexplainable things that could only be explained by ghosts and ghosts.
Let ghosts and gods explain it. Just saying that his time travel is the most bizarre thing!
"Dream...dream?" Zuo Ci looked at Liu Zhang dumbfounded and asked, "May I ask the champion, how powerful is the thunder in your palm in your dream?"
"This..." Liu Zhang hesitated and smiled: "The palm thunder in my dream can blow up all the living creatures in the city in one blow. The most powerful one can blow up all the chickens and dogs in a radius of hundreds of miles!"
"Gudu..." Zuo Ci and Guo Jia swallowed. Since Liu Zhang could tell the formula of palm thunder, they naturally thought that the palm thunder Liu Zhang mentioned could achieve the effect in the dream. Little did they know that Liu Zhang had already mastered the effect of gunpowder.
Exaggerated.
You know, even the atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs of later generations can only blow up one city at most. But Liu Zhang never calculated whether the cities of later generations would have a radius of a hundred miles. After all, in ancient times, the average city was only a few miles in radius, even Luoyang was not.
A radius of more than ten miles.
Seeing the dull expressions on Guo Jia and Zuo Ci's faces, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "It's a dream! It's always a bit exaggerated. Just look at the thunder in Mr. Zuo's palm and you will know that even if you increase the dose, you won't be able to achieve the effect in the dream. However, we can try
Let’s do some research and see if we can create a more powerful palm thunder!”
"Why does the champion want to create thunder in his palm?" Zuo Ci suddenly looked wary.
"Of course it is used in war!" Liu Zhang said bluntly: "Our Han people have suffered from foreign harassment all year round. If we have palm thunder, we can use it to defeat the foreigners. Moreover, whether this thing is used to defend the city or for
Attacking a city is a weapon!"
"Hmph!" Zuo Ci snorted coldly: "I will not let this thing become a weapon!"
Liu Zhang shook his head and said: "It is your kind of thinking that makes the Han people weaker and weaker!"
"Why?" Zuo Ci looked puzzled.
Liu Zhang sighed: "The thunder in the palm of your hand, I call it gunpowder. Perhaps you are the first person to invent this thing. But there is always a shortage of smart people in the world. Maybe one day, foreigners will also create gunpowder."
When the time comes, they use gunpowder to make weapons to attack us Han people, what should we do?"
"This..." Zuo Ci was stunned. As a Taoist priest, he rejected war from the bottom of his heart, but war is everywhere. You don't want to cause war, but others will not stop. Both Zuo Ci and Guo Jia are smart people.
, Liu Zhang just nudged them a little, and they understood.
"It's actually very simple to want peace!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "With the peaceful politics inside, the people can have enough food, clothing and clothing to live and work in peace and contentment. With strong force outside, the foreigners will not dare to make any changes. The Han Dynasty will be in a state of peace, otherwise everything will be in jeopardy."
It’s empty talk.”
"What does this have to do with gunpowder?" Zuo Ci was still puzzled. After all, he had not yet dealt with guns and bullets and did not know the true power of gunpowder.
"I won't talk about Qingping politics!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Let's talk about this powerful force! You may not know that this gunpowder is more powerful than swords. If you can make more powerful gunpowder, even
Achieve the effect in my dream. We only need to use a few brave men to infiltrate the foreign tribes, and we can defeat tens of thousands of foreign troops, and even make them annihilate. By then, how can any foreign tribe dare to talk to us Han people?"
"This..." Zuo Ci was stunned. Not only was he a Han, but he was also a hot-blooded Han. For four hundred years, foreigners had not stopped fighting. All Han people hated foreigners, and Zuo Ci was no exception. Listen.
After finishing Liu Zhang's narration, Zuo Ci seemed to see countless foreigners falling under his palm.
"Marquis Champion, what do you need me to do? Just ask me!" Zuo Ci had a ruthless look on his face. He would risk his life for the sake of the Han people!
