Chapter 173: Red Lotus Reappears

"It's coming!" Jiulang's calm voice didn't seem to fluctuate too much. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But the three monkeys who were waiting anxiously on the side suddenly felt like a fairy sound at this moment, although there was a blank mind for a moment, and they immediately understood that the hope that they had been waiting for had arrived anxiously.

The three monkeys even jumped on the stone pier where the boat was tied to the roadside, so that they might be able to see farther under the rain. When he covered his eyes and looked into the distance, sure enough, at the bend of the river, he saw a light boat coming quickly this way.

I even forgot that I was the same as Kuro, but I didn't understand why he saw it so far away. The three monkeys know the origin of Shi Gandang, and he may be the only one who stays in Xiongshizhai in order to eat fish.

Although he usually treats soldiers quite well, because of eating fish, there are not a few people who have been beaten by Shi Gan as a military stick. Although the three monkeys are usually impatient, they are also extremely clever and intelligent people, and they don't want to be beaten up because of this.

The tenth uncle of Ni Yazhen is now famous, not because of how much merit he has, but because he has been like a day for twenty years, unless there are some special circumstances, he will appear every day in the afternoon, selling fish on the roadside between the town and the military village.

Now this is also a scenery in Niya Town! If he doesn't show up one day, everyone will feel strange. Because he always goes to the river to fish, his fish and shrimp are always the fattest, largest and freshest.

Being able to eat Uncle Ten's fish has now become a major event for Ni Ya and even many surrounding families. It is also the greatest satisfaction in the hearts of many people who have the ability to consume. Because if you choose the same thing to eat, who wouldn't choose the good one!

Uncle Ten has become the symbol of Ni Yaxin's riverside, although he is not good-looking and almost fifty years old, but he is already the best display of the people by this Xinjiang River. Although he is getting older, it seems that he still enjoys it every day.

First, because of their own fishing, it is comforting that they can make their families live a little better, and every time the fish and shrimp caught back are bought, there are very few fish and shrimp left, or they are forcibly requisitioned by some local people.

Because in the past 20 years since the current Li Jiannan Tang took power and replaced Yang Wu, Ni Ya's place has been very peaceful. The implementation of the various policies of the imperial court in this place is relatively smooth, not only because of the existence of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, but also because of the emperor's Qingming.

As an ordinary person, Uncle Ten is relatively lucky. The income earned each time was not only enough to pay for exemption from military service, but also to support the family. And his hard-earned income has not been exploited by the so-called corrupt officials. In this day and age, it's a paradise.

Shi Gandang, the captain of Xiongshi Village, is so obsessed with eating fish, and he is willing to be a captain in this small place, and he will not be transferred to another place if he is promoted, it is said that it is because there are fish to eat in the Ni Yaxin River.

Shi Gandang, who is obsessed with eating fish, has the right in his hands, he not only guards Xiongshi Village, but also supervises the water army in Xinjiang. In normal times, all activities on the river can be said to be completely under the jurisdiction of Shigandang. But he has never forced the people to exploit the people and even let this tenth uncle pay tribute to him because of his identity, which makes Shi Gandang have a good reputation in Ni Yazhen and Xiongshizhai.

When the boat got much closer, it was Uncle Ni Shi, who everyone in Ni Yazhen was familiar with, when he saw the swaying oar coming quickly. His beard had turned white, and he wore a patched linen-white cloth casual robe, with the cuffs of his trousers pulled high, revealing his black-red skin that had already shown its old state.

"Come on, come on!" The three monkeys were a little impatient, standing on the shore and waving to Uncle Shi, eager for the other party to throw the rope over to the dock immediately. Seeing that there were still a few feet away from the shore, he couldn't help but jump down towards the boat, and regardless of Uncle Shi's solemn and solemn expression, he picked up the rope placed at the head of the boat and threw it on the shore.

Jiulang caught the rope, but instead of pulling the hemp rope that was already soaked in his hand, he looked at the middle of the boat, and was shocked to see that there was actually a person lying there.

To be precise, there is a person who does not know whether to live or die at this moment, a woman with a pale face and a blue dress. He looked to be in his twenties, lying on his back on the board of the boat that had been set up in the middle of the boat.

His head rested on the handlebar, and his white face was as thin as a duck's egg. The long hair was wrapped in a plain towel and thrown aside, and his eyes were closed without the slightest reaction. If it weren't for the fact that his chest was still slightly undulating in a tight suit, he would really be like a dead man lying there.

The three monkeys originally wanted to beckon Jiulang to pull the boat to the shore, but when they saw Jiurou's expression was different, they also found that the person lying in the boat was actually stunned, and finally couldn't help but look at Uncle Ten who had been rocking up behind the boat.

Uncle Ten looked at the surroundings and saw that there was no one around, but the rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and knew that few people would come out at this time, even the avenue less than fifty meters away on the shore, and there was no one in sight, so he sighed softly.

Seeing that Jiulang and the three monkeys did not squeak, he said: "This woman was met by the old man in the river in front of her, and it seems that she fell into the water because of something. ”

He looked at the woman lying there with pity, and said in a deep voice: "She still has a breath, and she doesn't look like an ordinary child, so the old man rescued it and brought it back!" No matter what her identity is, the three monkeys please go to the Heavenly Master Palace quickly, and invite a Lang Zhong for the old man, today and tomorrow, your General Shi's fish old man will be sent for free, and I promise not to let you get a military stick. ”

The three monkeys glanced at Jiurou quickly, and saw that although Jiurou looked cautious, he finally nodded to himself. The three monkeys suddenly looked relieved, glanced at the woman who was not moving in the boat, and without the slightest doubt, they jumped off the boat and quickly ran away from the stone road.

Uncle Ten rubbed his hands, obviously looking at the woman on the boat and not knowing what to do, he couldn't help but look up at Jiulang on the shore again, and said in a low voice: "This posture now is similar to the posture when you were rescued by General Shi in this river, and at that time!" Xiao Jiajiulang, let's see how it is! "Ni Ya is a small place, last year this Jiulang was rescued by Shi Gandang who patrolled the river, many people know about it, and later Jiulang became Shi Gandang's tooth soldier.

Jiulang is usually taciturn, but he is loyal and enthusiastic, and has a reputation in Ni Ya and Xiongshizhai. He put the rope on the stone pier, and then jumped out of the boat, but surprisingly, his body was obviously much heavier than the three monkeys, but the boat did not shake much.

Uncle Ten almost didn't notice this abnormality, but looked at Jiu Lang with a nervous face, squatting down to check the woman's pulse.

Uncle Ten didn't know what the situation was, but Jiulang, who was holding the vein of this woman's right hand, was boiling like boiling water. Because although he is not a good hand in the rivers and lakes, he can also check the pulse and treat injuries with a few hands, and when he touches this woman's pulse, his heart is naturally suspicious.

It turned out that the woman's pulse was as if there was no one at first, but after a while of contact, it actually pulsated slightly. And what surprised Jiuro the most was that it was not that this woman's pulse was about to disappear, but that she had been beating steadily at this slow pace.

Although Jiurou himself is not a master, in fact, he has been in contact with some characters at the beginning, and he has never mentioned this secret to anyone. Regarding his origin and provenance, Shi Gandang doesn't care too much about this kind of martial artist, and naturally no one dares to mention it in normal times.

Knowing that if a person's pulse is controlled evenly and slowly, it means that he must be a well-trained master. At this time, Jiulang felt the pulse of this woman, and he couldn't help but think of the words of those masters at the beginning.

But he didn't think much about it, he only felt that his hand suddenly tightened, and he was surprised to see that his right hand was numb, and he was actually clasped by this woman's right hand. When I looked at it again in surprise, the woman's bright eyes slowly opened.

It was a pair of charming eyes, a pair of eyes that would make people relax, and they were also a pair of pure eyes, pure and made people feel that the world was beautiful.

The rain kept falling, and it made the river rattle.

Jiurou felt half numb and lost his freedom, and when he came back to his senses, he came to the woman's side, only to find that she had completely stood up, and he knew that this woman was about the same height as himself. Jiurou didn't dare to look at the woman at first, but when he looked down, he realized that she was barefoot.

A pair of white and tender jade feet are particularly beautiful under the glow of raindrops. Jiurou was even more surprised to find that the raindrops, which were gradually getting bigger, did not fall on her. Kuro looked up in horror and tried to look at her, only to realize that her eyes were not looking at herself, but at the shore side.

Following the woman's gaze, I don't know when there was one more person there.

Or that Jiuro doesn't know when, there is already one more person on the shore.

This is a person wearing a wide bamboo hat in a robe, and what makes Jiuro feel inexplicably uncomfortable is that this person is wearing a long white skirt inside the robe, and on the skirt and skirt, it is embroidered with a few crimson lotus flowers.

The white dress is dyed with crimson lotus flowers, but it makes people look inexplicably wonderful, which is a chill that makes people feel a little pale. In the pouring rain, she stood there quietly like a stone statue.

She stood there quietly and let the rain pour down, as if her face was hazy and people couldn't see clearly, because of the rain barrier, Jiurou couldn't see whether the rain had touched her. She stood there silent, and looked at Jiangli quietly.

Jiulang knew that this person must be waiting for the woman in blue, because he felt that the air seemed to be about to freeze, and his whole person was completely immobile. This is a strong hostility, or a strong killing intent.

The woman in the blue dress on the boat suddenly seemed to exude a hot breath all over her body, and Jiurou was surprised to see a mist emanating from her body, and then the original feeling of chilling on her body disappeared. Then Kuro felt that his eyes were dark, and he fainted unconscious. He naturally didn't know that after he fainted, the tenth uncle also fainted.

"You're still haunted! Do you want to take advantage of your sister's heavy blow and take the opportunity to hit your sister's idea! The woman in blue on the boat spoke slowly, and the long sleeve of her right hand actually wrapped up Jiulang's body, and jumped from the boat to the stone road on the shore as if there was nothing.

The man standing on the road stared at her with a pair of eyes, as if he wanted to find a flaw in her actions, but unfortunately he tried more than ten ideas in his heart, and found that there was no possibility of a first opportunity.

The fingers of the slender right hand were lightly raised, and the front of the bamboo hat was slightly raised, revealing a pair of equally beautiful eyes, but the face was hidden behind the scarf.

"My sister got the baby from Yongzhou City, my sister wants to see it, I don't know if my sister is reluctant!" The woman on the avenue said lazily, as if the two of them were chatting at home.

"Sister, don't listen to people's nonsense, the baby is gone, but she brings back a body of injuries! I don't know who my sister listened to so punctually? Or is my sister always following my sister! Her voice was delicate and soft, as if it was not casual at all.

"My sister finally put on this dress again, presumably her magic skills have been accomplished! I don't know if I'm still missing the eight kings of Zhongtian! My sister may have forgotten! This is the territory of the Heavenly Master, I don't know if he will take action to subdue demons and eliminate demons when he sees your clothes! The woman in blue looked at the plaque in the military village not far away, and actually smiled.

"My sister has always remembered that my sister is tight, how can she tolerate others! My sister is a little childish, so if she is reluctant, she will say it directly. My sister heard that the longevity of the recreational child over there has been exhausted, but I am afraid that my sister will regret it, if this speed is slow, I will not be able to see Jinling when I go back. The eyes of the woman on the avenue flashed darkly, and she was unmoved when she saw the woman in blue, and her tone was still light.

"The red lotus has reappeared, and the blood has flowed into Jinling!" The woman in blue said quietly: "Sister has been thinking about it for a long time! It's really persistent! Sister Jinling naturally wants to go back, but my sister is going to this Longhu Mountain, do you want to go together! ”

"Sister, please!" The woman on the avenue turned sideways slightly, as if she didn't care about the words of the woman in blue, but when she turned sideways, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. She motioned to the woman in blue to be casual, and watched the woman in blue carrying Jiulang, really coming up from the shore and slowly walking towards Xiongshi Village, but without the slightest obstruction, and then the figure disappeared there in a flash.

"The Eight Kings of Zhongtian! Zhang Yuxian, Zhang Yuxian, are you really ghosted! The woman in blue muttered, as if her figure shook slightly, and the figure disappeared into the Xiongshi Village.

According to the "History of the New Five Dynasties" of later generations, in Xunzhou Boluo, Lingnan, there were gods who suddenly descended into the homes of ordinary people. Because he is very accurate in predicting blessings and disasters for others, he is regarded as a god in the world by the people of the time.

At that time, because the movement was too big, the people Zhang Yuxian also went to pray to the gods with everyone, hoping to see if he had any interest. What I didn't expect was that this man, who was born as a farmer, actually changed his identity.

Because under everyone's gaze, the gods said to him, "You are the reincarnation of the heavenly Arhat, you can stay and serve me by your side!" ”

As a result, Zhang Yuxian, who didn't know how many generations had not come out, has since transformed into an arhat in the mouth of the gods, and many believers have gradually gathered around him. Everyone worships Zhang Yuxian as an Arhat, and Zhang Yuxian naturally obeys the words of the gods.

And at this time when Zhang Yuxian met the immortals, the emperor of the Southern Han Kingdom that was divided by Lingnan, and Liu Yan, the emperor of Gaozu who was in the limelight at that time, had just died west. He succeeded to the throne with his eldest son, Liu Jue, who was not fuel-efficient, and left a bad reputation in the Southern Han Kingdom and even during the Five Dynasties.

The most typical thing is that his father has not been buried yet, and he is indispensable because he finally got the throne. Not only did he openly prostitute himself during the time of mourning, but he also issued many orders to loot the people's fat and ointment.

It was really a few days after he came to power, and he gathered a group of people every day to have fun in the palace and enjoy the happiness that he didn't dare to enjoy before. In addition, his wanton expropriation and exclusion of dissidents soon caused the hearts of Lingnan people to turn back. Although there may be political enemies deliberately spreading it, it is also Liu Jue's own unjustified death. In addition, because he has many brothers, and the gathering of traitors around him, he is defensive against many people, and everyone in the DPRK and China is naturally in danger.

The instability of the DPRK and China has always led to the rise of thieves in various places, and Lingnan has been stable for decades, and it is not immune to vulgarity at this time.

Among them, because of the special location of Boluo in Xunzhou, some thieves took a fancy to the fact that there was a basis for advancing and retreating here, so they called on hundreds of people to do things, hoping to get some benefits. Helplessly, these people did not have a long-term vision and layout, and under the drive and arrest of the government, they wandered and hid in all directions.

Because he heard that Boro had a miracle of immortals, he sent people to ask him about the prospects of these people. Because these thieves were only a few hundred at the beginning, but because many of them were oppressed by the government and instigated by everyone, there were more than 1,000 people at this time.

After asking the immortals, they got a satisfactory answer.

Because the gods told them that this Zhang Yuxian was the reincarnation of an Arhat and came down to the mortal world to purify all sentient beings, everyone could recommend Zhang Yuxian as the master, so everyone believed it. It can only be said that the ghosts and gods of this era are too powerful, and Zhang Yuxian has successfully become the leader of these thieves since then.

According to the historical records of later generations, it was only a few decades before Zhang Yuxian's uprising, and these events and legends should be extremely credible. Moreover, the history books are written by the Great Song Dynasty, which occupies the Central Plains, and the history books of the Southern Han Kingdom and the Southern Tang Kingdom are synthesized, so it will not be made up.

At that time, under the recommendation of well-intentioned people, Zhang Yuxian actually called himself the eighth king of Zhongtian, changed his name to Yongle in Boluo, and also set up official subordinates, and in a short period of time around Zhang Yuxian, thousands of followers gathered.

Later, as he participated in the conquest and suppression operations that year, some of the parties analyzed that Zhang Yuxian was able to claim the title of king back then, and the most important thing was that he was granted by God. Because during this period of the five dynasties, there were too many things in various places in the name of immortals, not to mention that Buddhism was prosperous in the world, and most of the people believed in it.

As for who the immortal Zhang Yuxian encountered, no one has seen the true face of this person, so naturally they don't know who this immortal is, but some people speculate that this immortal may still exist in the world after Zhang Yuxian's failure.

Because this immortal has never been close from the appearance to the disappearance, the immortal has its own immortal way, which ordinary people can speculate. As for Zhang Yuxian's appearance, it was due to his luck, and his later failure was naturally his luck.

No matter what happened to Zhang Yuxian later, what everyone was most interested in was naturally the immortal who ordered him at the beginning. What kind of immortal he or she is, everyone has been speculating for many years, although I haven't seen it, but it is even more thought-provoking and fascinating.

Although no one has ever seen a fairy, there is a distinctive sign of this fairy, that is, the people who serve the gods are all wearing red clothes.

Among them, when Zhang Yuxian had not yet been recognized by the immortals, after the immortals descended in Boluo County, there were two messengers by his side. The two messengers, a man and a woman, were both young men and women dressed in red lotus on a white background. Because of Zhang Yuxian, the two envoys claimed that they were the red lotus messengers in front of the Immortal Throne.

As a result, those who supported the belief in Zhang Yuxian at that time were proud to be wearing red robes. Zhang Yuxian himself was even more plain red all over his body, and he was known as the red-clothed Arhat at that time. Later, Zhang Yuxian was elected as the leader of the thieves, and his troops were all dressed in red, and the Lingnan region called this army the Red Lotus Crossing Army.

However, although Liu Jue was not doing his job at that time, the family business left by Emperor Gaozu Liu Yan was still solid, and several of Liu Jue's brothers were more capable of fighting, so Zhang Yuxian was almost wiped out. Zhang Yuxian had no choice but to avoid the area outside the mountains, and asked the direction of the immortals.

At the beginning, the gods clearly instructed and said: "You should cross the ridge to attack Qianzhou!" ”

At that time, Qianzhou was the territory of Yang Wu, who had just been changed to a dynasty, and Li Jianantang, who was known as a descendant of the Tang Dynasty. Although it is somewhat remote compared to the capital Jinling, it is an important state capital that governs Fujian and Lingnan.

The Southern Tang Dynasty sent the Korean general Jia Hao to defend it, and no one thought that Zhang Yuxian would suddenly come to attack.

Later, historians of the Southern Tang Dynasty analyzed that Zhang Yuxian suffered a heavy setback in Lingnan, and the sneak attack on Qianzhou was a strategic shift strategy. Because Zhang Yuxian is not making trouble in Lingnan, Lingnan's army will not desperately annihilate it. Of course, if Lingnan wants to completely annihilate Zhang Yuxian, the price to pay will definitely be expensive, and for Liu Jue, who has just ascended the throne, there are still some gains that outweigh the losses.

Of course, the historians of the Southern Tang Dynasty also analyzed that if Liu Jue had exterminated Zhang Yuxian at that time, he would have been able to fully control the power of Lingnan, and he would not have been killed by his bold brother Liu Sheng later. Although Liu Jue forced Zhang Yuxian to flee to the Southern Tang Dynasty and attacked Nankang, the territory of Qianzhou, he also left a weak name.

Although Zhang Yuxian later occupied the vicinity of Baiyun Cave, I don't know if he was dizzy, or if he was poured ecstasy soup by the people around him, he actually built a palace near Baiyun Cave and prepared to build his own palace.

However, at that time, Zhang Yuxian was indeed incomparable, with powerful four heavenly kings under his command, and more than 100,000 believers, which at that time had exceeded the strength of many secessionist regimes. And they captured the county capitals along the way one after another, and Jia Hao, as the envoy of the festival, could not resist and retreated in defeat after defeat.

At that time, Zhang Yuxian did not take advantage of the victory to go down to Qianzhou, or to fight back against the prefectures and counties of Lingnan, but prepared to establish a regime near Baiyundong, or to say that he had established his own regime, preparing to survive as an independent state between the Southern Tang Dynasty and Lingnan.

However, Zhang Yuxian ignored the idea of Li Jing, the new lord of the Southern Tang Kingdom, who had also just ascended the throne and had a firm foothold.

Because Li Jing's father, Li Yu, has been the emperor of the Yang family of Southern Wu for more than ten years, and finally did not hold back, he usurped the throne and became the emperor, but his life was short and he returned to heaven after a few days. But when he was still the king of Qi, he set up his eldest son Li Jing as the crown prince to exercise Li Jing's ability to handle government affairs.

Later, when Li Yu was about to usurp the throne, he recalled Li Jing, who was doing Tongping Zhangshi in Guangling, back to Jinling and made him the deputy commander in charge of the military. At that time, Li Jing was only a teenager, and it can be said that he has been on the battlefield for a long time.

At this time, Zhang Yuxian was driven out of Lingnan by Liu Jue, but he inexplicably killed his own territory, as a young and vigorous Li Jing, where could he endure this breath. He immediately dispatched Yan Si, a famous Southern Tang Dynasty general who was the Marquis of Tunyu in Hongzhou at that time, to attack, and strive to annihilate Zhang Yuxian and his gang as soon as possible.

What made Zhang Yuxian even more troublesome was that Li Jing also sent the minister who had just become famous in the world, and Bian Hao, the general secretary at that time, led the army to cooperate. The complacent Zhang Yuxian asked the will of the gods again, and who knew that unexpectedly, the gods suddenly had no instructions.

As for what happened to the immortals, others naturally have no way to know. But because the gods had no instructions, the first thing was that the four heavenly kings under Zhang Yuxian had a disagreement. And the Red Lotus Messenger, who had always appeared in the army, was gone, and many of the people were afraid, and the hearts of the people began to be weakened.

It didn't take long for the immortal to end up as recorded in the history books, and no one knew where he was going ever since, and the world speculated that the immortal should have returned to heaven and returned to his place.

Zhang Yuxian's subordinates were either annihilated, or surrendered to the Southern Tang Dynasty one after another, and even some of the subordinates who came from Lingnan sneaked back to Lingnan again, hoping to get the rest of their lives. And the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian, which were stormy, were destroyed near the Baiyun Cave in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Later, it was said that the Southern Tang Dynasty confiscated a lot of property in Baiyun Cave at that time, and although the Southern Han Kingdom also participated in the joint attack, the property went into the pockets of the Southern Tang Kingdom. Later, the Southern Tang Dynasty always believed that the Southern Han Kingdom in Lingnan was rich, and it was from this extermination that they learned the influence of the information.

Zhang Yuxian himself was captured, and with him was only his subordinates, Liang Shuang, who was known as one of the Four Heavenly Kings. At that time, although Zhang Yuxian had the intention to surrender to the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Jing escorted them to Jinling together on the grounds that Zhang Yuxian had no intention of surrendering at the beginning, and fought against the Southern Tang Dynasty, which led to too many deaths of soldiers and people.

Everyone understands that this is Coco Li's need for a war to assert his status and establish his supreme prestige. Indeed, it also greatly condensed his appeal in the Southern Tang Army, and Zhang Yuxian happened to become a stepping stone for Li Jing Liwei.

Although Zhang Yuxian was conferred the head in Jinling, it was said that a rainstorm fell in Jinling that day, Zhang Yuxian yelled at the sky, saying that he was an Arhat in the present world, and if Li Jing killed himself against the will of heaven, the Li family would not die well, and the descendants of the Li family would not die well.

As long as the red lotus appears again, it will be bloodshed in Jinling, and the Li family will be destroyed!
