Everyone was very busy, only Yang Rui had nothing to do, and the heat of the afternoon made him restless in the house, and he took Chen Guangshou around the Taoist temple in a fit of boredom.

Although the sun is poisonous outside, but the gentle breeze under the shade of the tree still makes people feel extremely cool, although the Taoist temple is big, but a large piece of pavilion in the middle is down, only to go to the innermost side of the old monarch's hall, this hall is old, the gray tile bucket arch, extremely simple, through the six tall steles erected at the entrance outside the door, through the gatehouse and then along the front and back porch to the inside, it is the hall. The inner hall of the weeping wooden pavilion has a sitting statue of Lao Tzu, and a few sandalwood sticks are burning in the incense burner, giving people a taste of the pure land outside the world. Yang Rui didn't come to make a pilgrimage, looking at Lao Tzu sitting leisurely, Yang Rui couldn't help but say to himself: "It is said that this computer is related to Lao Tzu's theory of yin and yang." ”

Chen Guangshou next to him didn't understand what Yang Rui said, and asked curiously: "Sir, what is a computer?" ”

"Computer?" Yang Rui only felt that he had leaked his mouth, so he had to turn in: "Actually, it is binary, we generally enter one every ten, and the binary system that imitates the way of yin and yang is every two into one." For example, 〇, or 〇, one is still one, but when it comes to two, it is not three, but one, three is one one, four is one and one, and five is one and one, so every two into one, all the numbers are only expressed with 〇 and one. ”

Chen Guangshou has never learned binary, but after listening to Yang Rui's description, he can roughly understand what this binary is, but, "What's the use of only having 〇 and one to express it?" Are you used to one to ten? ”

Although he turned in, he was surrounded by Chen Guangshou, Yang Rui smiled bitterly. secretly blamed himself for talking too much, so he had to say: "We people are used to one to ten." But the machine qì doesn't know so many numbers, it only recognizes 〇 and one, it is like an electric lamp, only on and off, if it is one, then off is 〇, open and off endlessly, then a qiē can be expressed by opening and closing. ”

Yang Rui's explanation was full of the flavor of two knives. Chen Guangshou and Xiao Yezi were very confused when they listened, but they didn't know when they entered the hall, but after listening to it, they were thoughtful. He swept the dust, slowly stepped forward and saluted: "Immeasurable blessings, poor and polite." ”

This Taoist priest is about fifty years old, and he seems to have some taste of fairy wind bones, Yang Rui can't see the depth, and he sees him giving a salute. He also clenched his fists, but did not speak. In fact, the Taoist priest only heard Yang Rui say that the binary system is very interesting, and he can't help but want to find someone to explore one or two, "Although the poor Tao does not know Western arithmetic, the Taoist has a saying: Tao is born one, and life is two." Two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, although this yin and yang can manifest all things, but without three, all things are not born, all beings are not spiritual, is this two-way system just imitation of all things? ”

I heard that the Taoist priest actually wanted to discuss Taoist issues with himself. Yang Rui smiled: "Dao Chang Mingjian." Binary is actually just a simulated world, not really a zào world. "I thought I was living in a Taoist temple. He also praised: "The Taoist theory of yin and yang is indeed extremely mysterious, and this Tao Te Ching book has spread all over the world." ”

The old Taoist priest is a person who understands, how could he not understand the current way of the world under the west wind and eastward, shook his head and sighed: "Nowadays, I only see foreigners' churches all over the place, and there are Taoist temples built in the West." After that, he glanced Yang Rui up and down, and then smiled: "It's extremely hot at noon, if the layman is not sleepy, please move to Xiaozhai and sit, and the poor road is good to burn incense and make tea, so as to secretur the heart." ”

Thinking that there was nowhere to go at noon, Yang Rui replied with a smile: "Then it's a long chatter." After that, he followed the Taoist priest to the living room of the Taoist priest on the side of the hall. Lao Dao seems to be a person who should be the host in the view, and the place where he lives is very spacious and bright, he said that he burns incense and makes tea, and waits until he sits down, but the little Taoist priest did it.

The tea soup is very hot, as soon as the mouth goes straight through the lungs, the hot body suddenly gives birth to a coolness, coupled with the calming sandalwood, Yang Rui only feels that the irritability in his heart is gone, and his body is full of comfort, and he can't help but say: "It's really good tea!" ”

Lao Dao said with a smile: "This tea is produced in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian, and it was brought back to Liaodong by the sponsor earlier to give it to the poor Dao. Today, I have a relationship with the layman, and I should serve guests with this tea. ”

When he went out, the Taoist monk woman was said to be the most difficult to mess with, Yang Rui couldn't figure out what the Taoist priest was going to do, and he didn't feel that he had something to see the clues, so he smiled and thanked him. Lao Dao asked again, "The layman is not a local, is this time entering or exiting?" ”

Yang Rui smiled on his face, was wary in his heart, and said, "I have been outside the customs for a long time, and this time I am going to enter the customs to do things." ”

"Oh......" The old Taoist sighed, lowered his head and didn't know what scriptures he had recited, and said after reading: "Now the world is unstable, and the poor Taoist has just blessed and prayed for the layman, although the layman's trip is thrilling and dangerous, but it is better to go east." ”

Yang Rui was a little puzzled, and said with a smile, "The Taoist is too worried, it is inconvenient to enter the 6 seas and go east on both roads, so it is better to go to the sea at Yingkou." ”

Although Yang Rui said so, but the old Tao did not talk, only waited for a cup of tea in silence, Yang Rui signaled Chen Guangshou to give alms, but unexpectedly the old Tao did not take it, he took the wooden box of the Taoist boy from his side, handed it to Yang Rui with both hands and said: "I am very fortunate to have a fate to gather here with the layman today." This is a copy of the Tao Te Ching of this religion, which is specially given to lay people to commemorate it. ”

Yang Rui saw that he gave a Tao Te Ching, a paper book, according to the idea that it would not be too precious, so he took it first, but only when the wooden box started, it was very heavy, and he felt that this should be made of sandalwood, and he wanted to refuse and felt that he had already taken it, so he had to hand the wooden box to Chen Guangshou, and then took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels from his arms, and said: "Since I received the gift of the Taoist, I have no thanks, so I can only donate some mundane things to the Taoist, so as to repair the collapsed hall in the temple as soon as possible." ”

Chen Guangshou gave fifty taels just now, and now Yang Rui's side has multiplied tenfold, Lao Dao's eyes narrowed, and he instructed Dao Tong to take it, and then said: "In fact, Poor Dao wants the layman to give a painting of ink treasure in the palace for future generations." ”

Yang Rui was embarrassed and excused himself: "I don't understand the ink below, and the handwriting is ugly, so let's get rid of it." ”

Yang Rui refused, but the old Tao insisted on inscription, and in desperation, he could only use a pen to write the words "Taiqing Palace" on white paper, and then returned to the courtyard. After Yang Rui left, Lao Dao carefully dried the ink, carefully cleaned it up, and finally handed it over to Daotong Haosheng for safekeeping, and then he was happy. Many years later, Yang Rui learned that this Taoist priest was Ge Yuetan, the head of the Quanzhen Dragon Sect, who was proficient in plum blossoms. Even if there is an unspeakable person crossing the border today, he tried his best to get a piece of Mobao. Waiting for him to be the treasure of the town palace one day.

Yang Rui didn't know that he had been calculated by the old Taoist once, so he returned to his residence with a sandalwood box, and when he opened it, he saw that the paper of the books inside was brittle yellow, guessing that it should be an antiquity. To be opened, the order of the current book is different from the previous reading, the Tao Te Ching that I read before is the Tao Te Ching in the front, the German Book in the back, and this one is the German Book in front. In the back of the Tao Sutra, and then look at the content carefully, there are also a lot of differences, in addition to the "late bloomer" written as "the big instrument is exempt", the biggest difference is the penultimate chapter of the Tao Sutra, the previous original text is: will want to die, must be fixed; will want to be weak. It will be strong; If you want to abolish it, you will fix it; If you want to take it, you will fix it. It is said to be subtle, and weakness is better than strength. The fish must not be separated from the abyss, and the sharp weapon of the country must not be shown. And in this book, it is written, "It is said to be subtle." Weakness is better than strength. There is no further text, and the latter sentence "The fish cannot be separated from the abyss, and the sharp weapon of the country cannot be shown to others." "Completely culled.

Yang Rui looked at this and couldn't help but think, could it be a leak? But after reading it a few times, I feel that the latter sentence has been removed. The writing seems to flow more smoothly, and the preceding sentences all deal with a simple dialectic. Strength and weakness are only relative, and the law of the operation of all things can make the strong weaker and the weak stronger, so it is concluded that the weak is better than the strong. And in the back, "the fish must not be separated from the abyss, and the sharp weapon of the country cannot be shown." It is no longer a simple exposition of philosophy, but the application of this philosophy to military affairs, which is like a deep philosopher rich in wisdom suddenly transformed into a sinister and cunning politician, from birth to accession, and then look at all the other chapters in the book, they are only discussing philosophy, never talking about conspiracy. Under the oil lamp, Yang Rui seemed to have some understanding, these two sentences really don't fit the full text, but what does it mean to remove them?

An ancient moral scripture tossed Yang Rui overnight, and when Tianming was about to go out of the city, Chen Guangshou came to report, saying that the road to Yingkou had been closed, and the Japanese seemed to be looking for something, Yang Rui asked: "What about the west?" ”

"There is no movement in the west, it's just ......" Chen Guangshou's resistance to superstition is much weaker than Yang Rui's, he said: "Sir, you have to go to Xinmintun in the west to get on the train, this is the place where the bandits gather in western Liaoning, maybe Zhang Zongchang's headquarters was there before." For safety reasons, it is better to go east. ”

The name Zhang Zongchang hadn't appeared in Yang Rui's ears for a long time, and when he heard this, his pupils contracted a little, and he said, "What are you doing over there?" I didn't kill anyone, and that little golden phoenix, hurry up and do it! ”

Chen Guangshou also hated the two of them to the core, and said, "Sir, Yuanshi has already sent people out, and we only found out their whereabouts when we left, maybe they have already lost their lives when we arrive in Tianjin." ”

Yang Rui also knew that things were in a hurry, sighed, and wanted to go to the western part of Liaoxi It was indeed dangerous, although he and Zhang Zongchang's department had little contact, but if they could see it from their figure and demeanor, it would be wronged, so he said: "Then go east Anton, everyone be careful." ”

Chen Guangshou received the order, and everyone went out of Fengtian to the east of the city. Although this road is not easy to walk, but it is relatively peaceful, but when the Fengcheng Bianmen Town is about to arrive at Tangshan Town, a team of thirty or forty people on horseback patrol came on the opposite side of the official road, Yang Rui and others hurriedly got out of the way, but after these patrols rushed over, they returned to the horse and surrounded them, everyone was panicked, and it was difficult to wait for the wrong situation in private, Xu Baogen, who was responsible for external entertainment, smiled and said to the patrol: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are just small merchants and hawkers, and we really haven't done ......."

Xu Baogen didn't finish speaking, he was torn apart by the patrol leader who had already dismounted, and several patrol officers directly stepped forward to surround the three carriages, and the leader shouted: "The people inside get off the car for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will see if there are any foreigners hiding in the harbor." ”

Two of the three carriages were for Bai Ru and her partner, and the other was a communication car for receiving telegrams. The patrol leader shouted, but there was no movement inside, he was pulling the bolt of the gun, and when he pointed the gun at the carriage, the guards even felt the weapons in the hands of the people, Yang Rui estimated that the border gate town was just a few miles away, and it was not good to do it here, and he was about to order the people in the carriage to come out, but he didn't want a sharp-eyed patrol on the periphery to suddenly shout: "Gun!" There are guns! It's a beard......"

As soon as the patrol shouted, things were out of control, and if he didn't shoot, the other party would shoot. "Bang, bang......" The guard's short gun immediately rang out, these patrolmen were holding long guns, and when they came around, they had already been calculated by the guards, and at this time, as soon as the gunshots rang out, more than 30 people were immediately knocked down half, but the lethality of the revolver bullet was weak, as long as it did not hit the vital point, the other party could still shoot back. In less than ten seconds of shooting, someone from the guard company was shot and fell. Yang Rui was pulled off the horse by Chen Guangshou at the beginning of the gunshot. rushed to the side of the road, only waiting for the gunshots to go out, Chen Guangshou let Yang Rui get up, and at this time only heard the voice of the hygienist, "Quick!" Fast! Bandages, bandages...... Stop the bleeding! ”

Yang Rui felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, he didn't know who was injured, so he waited to take a look. It turned out that Xu Baogen fell to the ground, and blood gushed from his stomach - he was next to the patrol leader just now, and the patrol leader was not killed by a single shot when the gun rang out, and the rifle in his hand was shot at Xu Baogen, because it was shot at close range, the 7.92mm bullet punched a fist-sized blood hole in the stomach, and the hygienist stuffed a large roll of bandages on the blood hole. But he still couldn't stop the bleeding, watching the blood keep coming out, the hygienist looked at Yang Rui and Chen Guangshou, and shook his head weakly.

Seeing that his brother was out of breath, his brother Xu Caigen, who was squatting beside Xu Baogen before, hurriedly ran to the patrol leader who was already dead. After stomping down a few times, he pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the corpse, draining all the bullets in the chamber. Seeing that these bearded men even shot their corpses, a patrol officer who pretended to be dead immediately jumped up from the ground, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Uncle spare your life!" Uncle spares his life. ”

Xu Caigen was about to load and kill him, but Chen Guangshou stepped forward to stop him. Then he kicked the patrolman and asked, "Say! What's the way? Why are you surrounding us? ”

The patrol did not dare to avoid it. After being kicked, he saw the bearded leader asking, and hurriedly said: "Ah! Heroes, it's not around you, it's not around you! We are looking for foreigners by listening to adults. ”

"Looking for a foreigner? The order of the adult. ”

"Zhang... An order from Lord Zhang. Said that Anton walked... I lost a few foreigners, and I want us... Let's ......," the patrol stammered, and suddenly saw the others come forward with guns, and immediately jumped to the ground, "Ah! Don't kill me, don't kill me! ”

When Ye Yunbiao saw him get up, he restrained him with one hand, and the patrol was half-kneeling on the ground, unable to struggle. The other soldiers here searched for a proclamation from the patrol leader, Chen Guangshou caught it, and saw the letter: Today, there are Americans Alice, Clara Xindi, McMillan, and Corbin, who have been kidnapped by horse bandits, and Ding Yong will be questioned and searched for suspicious people in all counties along the road, and if there is anyone who does not report it and hides the bandits, he will be beheaded and ....... The proclamation also included portraits of four people, and it is clear that three of the four were women.

After reading it, Chen Guangshou stepped forward and said to Yang Rui: "Sir, there are Americans who have been kidnapped by bandits. The patrolmen thought there were Americans in my carriage. ”

Yang Rui frowned, he was not relaxed at all when he heard this, his mother's this is purely a fire, but now that he has killed a patrol, he has also been killed and injured, it is really unfavorable, and he was not afraid of investigation before, but now that he has killed a patrol, there is blood sticking to the carriage, even if he smells the smell, he knows that it is wrong. He opened the map and said, "This place should not stay for a long time, and it will change later." Clean up immediately, and then let the correspondent report ......"

Before Yang Rui finished speaking, the correspondent ran over and said nervously: "Report." The radio station was broken...... "As soon as the gun went off just now, a patrolman nervously fired a shot at the carriage, but the people didn't hit it, and the radio station was broken.

"Can it be fixed?" Yang Rui asked.

"No, the glass tube inside is broken."

"It's okay," Yang Rui said, "It's very close to Anton here, so it's good that people are okay." "If the transistor is broken, it is not something that the correspondent can handle, Yang Rui had to persuade politely.

The group hurriedly cleaned up the patrol that fell to the ground, and the last one who was alive also turned out. Just after packing up, Chen Guangshou stepped forward and asked, "Sir, how to go?" ”

"How can I get there?"

"Can you separate, separate a small group of people to protect Mr. or go all the way east to Anton......"

"No way!" Yang Rui shook his head and said: "This place is already enemy territory, and it is not appropriate to divide the troops." Besides, there are so many patrols dead here, once all the merchants on this road have to be arrested and interrogated, we have to change the way. ”

"A different way?"

"Yes. It is safe to cross the river in the north and change to the road from Kuandian to Andong. If it doesn't work, go directly to the Yalu River to do the ship of the Tonghua Steamship Company out of Anton. Yang Rui only felt that what had happened just now was too coincidental, and at the same time he did not believe in the Manchu proclamation. The above said to find foreigners, but in order not to make mistakes, as long as it is a suspicious person, it is estimated that they will be arrested.

"Understood. Mr! Chen Guangshou commanded.

Five minutes later, the procession descended the official road and entered the mountain, and the wagon was abandoned in the ravine, the dead were buried, and the wounded were supported by a few people, and they quickly headed north. In fact, this river is a tributary of the Yalu River, from west to east into the Yalu River, from the official road to the river is not too far, close to dusk when everyone comes to the river, but at this time it is the middle of summer, the river water surges, the torrent is turbulent, more than a mile of the river can not be forcefully crossed. Just as we were looking for a boat along the river, the situation changed again, and several gunshots came from not far away.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the gunshot, thinking that it was a patrol chasing, but the gunfire stopped after a few shots, and Xu Caigen ran over and said, "Report." This gunfire was not a patrol. ”

"Not on patrol?"

"It's not. The patrol gun was a German gun, with many bullet charges and a deep sound, which was a bit like the Japanese Golden Hook Rifle, and the sound was very brittle. "Xu Caigen is an old beard, although he can't fight regular wars, but it is not a problem to say that he has kidnapped tickets and watched the wind and crossed mountains and mountains.

"How far?" Yang Rui asked.

"It's not far, a mile or two."

"Then send someone to touch it first, and the others will retreat to the other side. This group of people should be the beards who kidnap the tickets, and we are too far ahead to either be caught by the patrol, or these beards think they are robbing the trade, and when the time comes, the two sides will fight and provoke the patrol. "The life and death of Americans has nothing to do with Yang Rui, he doesn't want to heroically save people and then fall into it himself - either be killed by the patrol with a beard, or be killed by the patrol with a beard.

Walking half to the west, the person who went to touch the situation came back, "There is a big ticket beard in the Zhuangzi over there, and it is indeed the beard that tied the ticket." Xu Caigen personally went to investigate the situation, and came back at this time to report the situation urgently, "But there are many boats outside the Zhuangzi, and it seems that people were kidnapped from Anton and rowed directly from the Yalu River." ”

"How many beards are there? Do you know which way it is? Yang Rui was overjoyed when he heard that there was a boat, and he just wanted to get two boats to cross the river.

"There are about 40 people, and it seems that the number of roads is from the side of Dagu Mountain, and they are all Japanese guns, but they look like Japanese East Asian volunteers."

"Japanese guns? There are Li Fengchun and Zhu Erjiao's people on the other side of Dagu Mountain, but I haven't heard that they have joined the East Asian Volunteer Army......" Chen Guangshou is very familiar with the beards everywhere, and listening to Xu Caigen's statement, he is a little puzzled, "Besides, they have always sat on the ground to collect money, and I haven't heard that they kidnap tickets." ”

"Don't guess. Eat first, and then go to save people after eating. Yang Rui ordered.

Chen Guangshou and the others were puzzled, and only looked at Yang Rui. Yang Rui said: "The Americans, Japanese guns, beards that don't tie tickets, and headless flies everywhere can show that the kidnapping is a big man from the United States, and the place of tying is in Andong, which is the largest treaty port of the Americans in Liaodong, which is clearly to attack our relations with the Americans." This must be a conspiracy of the Japanese. ”

This is indeed a conspiracy, Li Fengchun, who was blocked in the house with more than two dozen guns, thought so. "I'm so fucking blind, blue and black teeth, do you have a fucking conscience? If it wasn't for Lao Tzu back then, you would have been feeding the fish in the sea a long time ago. ”

"Big boss. You saved me, but after so many years, everything that should have been paid back has been paid. The money that you have worked so hard to collect has either been gambled away by you or given by you to your own relatives, what the hell have you thought of our bitter brothers? "The blue and black teeth are not only black, but also the mouth is quite black, and in just a few words the anger of the brothers is ignited.

"Stop fucking bullshit. Slaughter him, and then slaughter these big noses, so that we can go home and share the money. The other beard shouted.

"Don't fucking talk nonsense. The little nose is not a good thing at all, we fell for them. These big noses are all people from the foreigners' official mansions, if you really kill them, not to mention that everyone's family has not been returned, even Dagushan will be blown up. "I have a small number of people, and when I saw that people outside were about to step forward, Li Fengchun said hurriedly.

"Brothers, don't listen to his mother's nonsense, he scared the foreigners, did we kill fewer foreigners in the year of Gengzi? Above! Above! The blue-black fangs who were gathered outside shouted vigorously, encouraging the people who had just come back to come forward, and he believed that as long as the gunshots rang out, these people who had just come over would not be so hesitant.
