"You can do anything you want!" Xu Shu thought for a moment and then agreed.
Zhu Kui was overjoyed, and quickly arranged his clothes, told Liao Hua and others to wait aside, and followed Xu Shu into the woods.
On the other hand, when the ugly boy saw that Xu Shu was back, he also brought the young general over and said, "Teacher, uncle, and senior brother Yuan Zhi are back, and they have brought people back."
Naturally, other people also saw it. The two of them seemed to have known each other for a long time, so they should come to see them.
"Teacher, this is the new general Weilu of the imperial court. I am an old acquaintance of my disciples. I heard the name of the teacher and came to see him." Xu Shu bowed respectfully and said to the old man with a thick white beard.
"My dear Zhu Kui, courtesy name Huai Ming, is from Moling County. I have heard of Mr. Shui Jing's name a long time ago. It is my great fortune to meet him today."
"Young general Miao praised me. I am an old man, so I deserve it." Sima Wei was humble and did not accept it.
"The elder is here, how dare you say the word general, just call me Huai Ming." After saying that, Zhu Kui looked at the people around him and asked, "I wonder who these are?"
"I am Xianglang, Xiangyang, with the courtesy name Juda."
"I am Yingchuan Shitao, named Guangyuan."
"I am Meng Jian of Runan, named Gongwei."
"And I, I am Xiangyang Pang Tong, who means Pang Guangda, Commander, and Commander-in-Chief! That's me. This is my uncle, known as Pang De Gong!" The ugly boy innocently introduced himself and
An old man with sideburns.
Zhu Kui smiled dumbly. Pang Tong was indeed ugly. He was born ugly, but God was fair and gave him intelligence. Now he is eloquent at a young age.
"I've met several gentlemen." Zhu Kui bowed and saluted one by one.
I have heard of these people in previous lives. They are either generals or prefects. Their official positions are higher than the general he is now. And they are all people with real talents and learning.
"I have heard of this name, Moling Zhukui. It is said that two years ago, four teenagers worked together with the authorities to kill the giant bandit Yan Baihu." Pang Degong thought about the memory in his mind and told what he knew.
"That's the boy." Zhu Kui felt a little proud in his heart, not wanting his name to have entered the ears of famous people in this world.
"Huai Ming, the long sword on your waist is quite strange. Can you let me see it?" Xiao Pang Tong kept staring at the Xuanyuan sword. This sword is broad and heavy, very different from ordinary swords.
"Little brother, you have to take care of yourself. It's just that this sword is very heavy. I'm afraid you won't be able to lift it."
Zhu Kui took the Xuanyuan Sword, but handed it to the other party. Instead, he put it on the ground and asked him to pick it up by himself.
Xiao Pangtong grabbed the hilt of the sword and lifted it up with all his strength. Every time he lifted it a little, he became weak. He looked at everyone in embarrassment and gave up with an unhappy look on his face.
Mr. Pang De, who was next to him, touched the back of his nephew's head lovingly and stepped forward to grab the big sword. Zhu Kui was shocked as he didn't expect this old man to be so powerful.
"Wow"
Pang Degong looked at the bronze sword above his head and murmured: "The sun, the moon, the stars... the mountains, rivers, vegetation... the forging craftsmanship is so good, please take a look at it together, De Cao."
Sima Wei leaned over and was also attracted by the sword patterns on both sides.
The two elders felt something in their hearts and glanced at each other, obviously thinking of something together.
Others saw the two old men smiling to themselves as if they had discovered some secret. Xu Shu's disciples looked at each other and asked, "Teacher, what is the name of this sword? From what I saw, it was forged during the Spring and Autumn Period."
Sima Wei and the two shook their heads in silence. Zhu Kui was surprised when he saw that the two of them seemed to know this Xuanyuan Sword. Maybe they were really knowledgeable, so he also asked: "Two gentlemen, do you know this Xuanyuan Sword?"
"It turns out that it's called Xuanyuan Sword. The old man and I don't know this sword. We're just interested in the patterns on the sword. It's worthy of the name Xuanyuan."
Zhu Kui was slightly disappointed by the words of the two. They were the most knowledgeable people in the world. It seemed that there was really no record of the Xuanyuan Sword. Could it be that it, like me, came from time to time? Zhu Kui couldn't help but think...
"Huai Ming, I wonder where you got this sword?"
"Oh, the trophies obtained when we attacked Yan Baihu's lair two years ago were originally rusty, but they were later polished by someone else." Zhu Kui replied casually.
"Do you think morality belongs to destiny?" Pang Degong suddenly said something completely unrelated.
"Moling is in the southeast, and copper is in gold. Huaiming, did you have any visions when you were born?" Sima Wei asked.
"Vision? My parents once said that when I was born, a cloud of fire burned over my head and lingered on. Kui thought it was nonsense."
Pang Degong smiled, glanced at Sima Wei, and said, "Can Huai Ming trust divination?" At the same time, he returned the sword.
Zhu Kui was a little surprised when he heard this. After hesitating for a moment, he took the sword, tied it up, and said, "Sir, you are a great scholar in the world, and you also study divination?"
"Hahaha, divination is from the University of the Book of Changes. Confucius still studied it. How could I not learn it?" Pang Degong was obviously puzzled that he would ask such a common sense question.
"Uh!" Zhu Kui was stunned. He had always thought that Confucian scholars, Zi Bu Yu, had strange powers and confused gods, and had always rejected this fortune-telling thing. He said: "The gods are in the heart and in the sky. Huai Ming dare not be disrespectful, and he dare not not believe it. That's what he said.
, Sir, is it trustworthy?”
"Huai Ming has great insights." Pang Degong took out fifty bamboo strips from his arms, and while skillfully interweaving the bamboo strips, he said quietly: "You and I are fortunate to meet here today, and I will make some predictions for you.
"
"Thank you, sir." Zhu Kui nodded and thanked.
"Well, okay, what is the purpose of Huai Ming's hexagram?" Pang Degong asked.
"The way forward!" Zhu Kui spat out two words without thinking. He asked him what his future was like! What he wanted to ask was how he felt about establishing hegemony! What was the reason for coming to Han this time?
Everyone gathered around to see what Mr. Pang De said.
"The way forward? Huaiming, your hexagram is the nine hexagrams above "No", and its words are: "Heaven and earth are not connected, there is no communication." It means that the Yang Qi rises and the Yin Qi declines, the heaven and the earth do not communicate, and all things are blocked. But
It is also clear that the situation is perfect but it is not, and whether it is perfect or not, it is the cause and effect of each other. It is really rare!"
After Pang Degong finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed to himself: "Although this road ahead can reach your heart's ambition, I'm afraid it's just a journey in vain. It's better to go back and abandon it! Abandon it!"
When Zhu Kui heard this, he felt a little pity in his heart: "Go back! Go back! But my home is more than 1,800 years later, can I go back? Now is the first year of Zhongping, 184 AD.
But this is not the 21st century. I just want to return, but how can I return? I just accidentally entered this era. Even if I unify Kyushu, is it just a big dream? "
Although he was thinking this, he was a determined person after all. He couldn't help tightening the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and thanked him: "Thank you sir for your advice. Since Huai Ming has set his ambition, even if the cause and effect comes to him and this life is empty, he has nothing to fear."
also"
"Huai Ming still has important matters to attend to. He needs to rush back to Wancheng Camp. I would like to bid farewell to you gentlemen."
He turned around and left. In fact, he still had something to say in his mind. He had already experienced death, so there was nothing in the world to be afraid of. However, he was in an agitated mood at the moment, and it was no longer appropriate to continue the conversation.
When he turned around, it was as if the wind was blowing under his feet, gently blowing the fallen leaves on the ground, and the bamboo strips just changed.
Several adults watched him leave, each with a different expression. The hexagram indicated that the road ahead was difficult, and he was afraid that it would be in vain. Unless man can conquer heaven, it is not easy for man to conquer heaven. How many people say that man can conquer heaven, but how many people can do it? People did it.
For the people of the Han Dynasty, there were countless people with strong wills in the world. They firmly believed in the existence of the power of God, and even if heaven and earth refused to grant it, no matter what! No what!
Only the little Pang Tong looked at the bamboo strips of hexagrams that had not been put away on the ground, and said in surprise: "The ninth and fifth lines of "Qian"? Uncle, isn't this the image of the main flying dragon in the sky? Is this the hexagram of Jie Jun?"
"'Qian' hexagram?" Mr. Pang De and Sima Wei knelt down in surprise, and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was the 95th line of the "Qian" hexagram. Staring at the bamboo strips that had changed the hexagram, Fang looked down for a long time, and Fang sighed quietly: "'No' The nine and five lines in the Qian become the nine and five lines in the Qian, and are they the ones who change the hexagrams? How can a mortal understand the ways of heaven and earth?"
"Well, does this person have a 95-year life expectancy?" Xiang Lang asked in surprise.
"Earlier, De Cao said that in the southeast, a Venus rose with a ball of fire. It was responsible for attacking soldiers and sacred images. Just now, General Weilu held the Xuanyuan sword, and the sword was made of gold! What is Xuanyuan, the ancient holy emperor! He comes from Moling, which is in the southeast direction. When he is born, he shows fire, and his body is of fire virtue, so he is a person who walks with the sun and moon in the sky."
