Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 99 The One-Water Qingjiang Is a Foreign Land
A clean black boot with a white sole and embroidered flowers gently stepped on the fallen leaves in front of the Yulin Temple Gate.

The emperor Liu Hong had just stepped out of the carriage, feeling very heavy, when suddenly he heard the screams of the people around him, their eyes widened, and they looked at the sky in incredible, as if they saw some strange scene.

"Master, look quickly..."

Jian Shuo quickly reminded the emperor Liu Hong that his hands were also pointing to the sky, and his eyes were staring straight at the sky.

Liu Hong raised his eyes, only to realize that there are many "lanterns" in the sky. That's right, during the Lantern Festival, the lanterns that symbolize unity are lit up all over the street, and they are... flying into the sky.

Different from the red lanterns of the Lantern Festival, here are all white lanterns, square and square... It is not so much a lantern as some kind of hat worn by Confucian scholars.

Of course, these are not the point, the point is...they...can fly by themselves?

This is too weird!

After all, it was the emperor Liu Hong, and it was the first time he saw such a spectacle.

"what is this?"

He opened his mouth subconsciously.

Jian Shuo also instinctively replied: "Could it be that this is the emperor... no, could it be that this is the 'dharma event' that Guanzhu Liu mentioned. Please come out to the 'dharma event' of Lao Tzu, the ancestor of the Taoist school?"

This is out of the way...

Liu Hong was taken aback, "Lao Tzu" was more than [-] years ago, how could he be resurrected through a "ceremony"?
Liu Hong has never believed in prophecies, let alone superstitious theories. According to the influence of Confucianism he has received, he can believe that there is a supreme "heaven" above the imperial power, and the sky will also send disasters to alert the world, but If a Confucian scholar said that he could make "heaven" come down by doing something, Liu Hong would be able to "confuse the crowd" and kill this person immediately.

But now...

Although he didn't believe it, it seemed that many people around him believed it.

Lanterns floated up to the sky one by one, meeting with the stars to reflect the view of Yulin like daytime.

In such a scene, it would not be surprising if some kind of "gods descending from the earth" really appeared.

"After today, go and investigate this matter in secret." Liu Hong immediately ordered Jian Shuo. "I want to know, how did these lanterns fly out of thin air?"

"Here!" Jian Shuo agreed.

But at this moment.

"Look..."

There were screams from around again. It turned out that in the Taoist temple... something new flew up.

This time it's...

- It's eggs!

A fire was lit with wormwood on the ground, and countless eggs rose from nowhere.

Floating at a height of three or four feet above the ground, it rises slowly under the reflection of fire, Kongming lanterns, bright moon and stars, covering the entire sky of Yulin Temple like fireflies.

Originally, the night was as dark as a rock, but in an instant, it was as bright as haze, beautiful and beautiful, as if this place was suddenly in the realm of incarnation.

This…

Liu Hong suddenly felt dizzy for a while. He didn't understand the lantern flying just now, but now...there are more eggs rising, this...are these all Yu'er's "methods"?

For the first time, even the big man emperor didn't dare to question again, maybe Yu'er... Yu'er can really summon Lao Tzu, the originator of Taoism, to guide the current big man?

...

...

On the other side, the backyard of Yulin Temple, the door has been locked long ago, no one can come in,

A group of women are busy in the courtyard.

Ren Man and Diao Xiu'er were also there, and Diao Xiu'er seemed to think it was fun. He put an egg that had been dried in the sun on the moxa fire, and let the rising gas of the moxa fire pour into it, and then Throw it lightly into the air, and the egg will fly.

"Clap clap clap!"

Diao Xiuer clapped an egg after she released it with her own hands, as if she thought it was very fun.

"Mom, do you still have the 'Kung Ming Lantern' that big brother taught us to make? I want to try that..."

After releasing the eggs, Diao Xiuer wanted to challenge the Kongming Lantern...

It's just that Ren Man and a group of women from Yulin Temple have already prepared more than a hundred "Kongming Lanterns", first lit the wicks, and let them rise slowly.

Now, it's all in the sky.

Diao Xiu'er wanted to play, but unfortunately...no one was left behind.

"Xiu'er, be good, I'll make you a 'Kung Ming Lantern' after my mother is done with your big brother's big business tonight!"

"Mother, don't lie..." Diao Xiuer clapped her hands with an innocent look, and picked up another egg, going to let it fly...

Diao Xiu'er only thought it was fun.

How would she know that this is the famous principle - "Ai fire makes chickens fly".

Su Shi in the Northern Song Dynasty recorded this kind of "chicken flying" gameplay in "The History of Things and Things":

——Chicken chickens have small orifices, go yellow and white, soak in dew, paste them with oil paper, and dry them in the sun. They can be opened three or four feet above the ground.

Going forward, it is also recorded in "Huainan Wanbi Shu".

——"Ai Huo can make chickens fly".

To put it simply, it is to put the burning moxa fire into the egg shell to make the egg shell fly.

Of course, Liu Yu is more professional.

He would think of the heat experiment done in high school physics class, the hot gas expands and discharges downward, pushing the 'object' up, and the Kongming lantern and the egg fly all use the buoyancy force in the "heat work".

Of course, these are too high-end, as long as Liu Yu knows it.

...

...

Eggs are constantly rising, taking advantage of the breeze and blowing into the front yard of Yulin Temple...

There was already an uproar among the crowd in the front yard, and many people even thought they were in a fairyland after enjoying the magnificent scenery, completely forgetting the purpose of coming here.

At some point, Liu Yu had already stood in front of the wooden table in the front yard...

He held a "charm" between his index finger and middle finger, which was taught to him by his master Zhang Heng.

Among the branches of Taoism, Tianshi Tao is the standard talisman school.

This is completely different from the "Dan Ding School" who recognizes 'Lu Dongbin' as the patriarch.

The characteristics of the Danding School are "Sword Immortal" and "Inner Alchemy". In the novels, flying with a sword, foundation building, alchemy, Yuanying, and god transformation are often written in the novels. These are the thoughts of the Inner Alchemy School!

It can be understood that the Danding school imagines their stomach as a big furnace. The process of practicing Qi is equivalent to the process of alchemy in the stomach, absorbing the gas and storing this energy.

In short, it's so mysterious!
even…

Quanzhen people have always insisted that the book "Journey to the West" was written by Qiu Chuji, if Mr. Zhou Shuren hadn't verified that "Journey to the West" was written by Wu Chengen.

Not sure, now everyone thinks that the author of "Journey to the West" is either Anonymous or Qiu Chuji.

Let’s talk about the Talisman School of Taoism.

The Talisman Sect doesn't have so much work... To put it simply, it is a fusion of "alchemist learning", "five elements learning", "onmyoji learning" and "astrology".

The Talisman School does not practice alchemy. Their job is to use talisman paper to drive away ghosts, and make herbal medicine into talisman paper to drive away diseases and evil.

Liu Yu has practiced all these.

Therefore, Liu Yu's movements of casting spells with the "drawing talisman" in hand are very professional...

It also bluffed a lot of people who eat melons.

——"Look, Guanzhu Liu has started to cast a spell."

——"Could it be that 'Lao Tzu' will really come?"

——"I...I actually believe something inexplicably."

Everyone is still whispering...

Liu Yu's voice has already become louder.

——"The Xuanzong of heaven and earth, the root of ten thousand qi. Extensive cultivation for billions of kalpas, to prove my supernatural powers. Inside and outside the three realms, only the Tao is the only one. There is golden light in my body, covering my body... The wisdom of the hole is thorough, and the five qi are soaring. The golden light appears quickly, Protect the real person. Hurry like a law!"

The voice fell.

boom…

The talisman paper in Liu Yu's hand was ignited, and after burning, a red kit appeared in Liu Yu's hand, as if the talisman paper had changed.

This time, the audience was in an uproar.

For a moment, under the illumination of the starry sky and Kongming lanterns, everyone's eyes were fixed on the red kit, including the emperor Liu Hong who had just entered the Taoist temple and was startled in place by "Yu'er"'s actions.

Liu Hong's subconscious feeling is that Yu'er... this Taoism... has something!

quiet...

Hundreds of people gathered in the courtyard of Yulin Temple, but for a while, it was extremely quiet, and the only thing left in the air was the sound of each other's breathing.

As if feeling a series of gazes on her, Liu Yu presented the red brocade pouch to her chest.

He lowered his voice and explained.

"It seems that it's a trivial matter, please don't move the founder of my Taoist sect, but the gift bag given by the founder must be enough to break the situation!"

While talking, Liu Yu opened the kit, and among them was a thin juan with the words...

"Guanzhu Liu, what is written on it?"

In the silence, someone suddenly shouted.

This is a young and strong man, Liu Yu is very familiar with it, he is the "sitter" arranged by him.

Sure enough, when "Tuoer" opened his mouth to ask, everyone opened their mouths to ask... Even if they didn't open their mouths, their eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation.

Liu Yu unhurriedly saluted everyone.

Immediately, the words on the fine juan were revealed, which was a line of small characters in seal script.

At the same time, he also opened his mouth and chanted: "One water and Qingjiang is a foreign land!"

This…

Yishui Qingjiang is a foreign land!

"Is this an anagram?" Liu Hong groaned softly.

Jian Shuo's attention was elsewhere, "Master, look..."

Following Jian Shuo's fingers, Liu Hong noticed that Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong were standing there not far away from him, and they seemed to be pondering over the writing on the thin juan.

They both wore the same red Confucian gowns as in the daytime, which looked extraordinarily eye-catching, which was why Jian Shuo spotted them at a glance.

On the other hand, Emperor Liu Hong, who was dressed in a black Confucian robe, seemed much more low-key.

"Go back first!"

Liu Hong didn't want to expose his identity at this time, so he gave an order and walked to the gate of the Taoist temple, chanting softly while walking. "The Yishui Qingjiang is a foreign land, how to solve it?"

He was still thinking about the answer in the word.

But when he went out, he heard someone blurt out the answer.

"Red! The answer is 'red'."

Liu Hong paused, as if deliberately listening to this person's answer, and this person continued to analyze to the Confucian scholar beside him. "One water clearing the river is to remove the 'water' in the 'jiang'. If there is no 'water' in the 'jiang', it means 'work', and 'foreign land' means that the upper and lower parts of the word for township are separated, which is the radical '纟'. A 'gong', paired with a '纟', is for 'red'!"

This Confucian scholar's analysis is well-founded...

Immediately, it aroused the clapping and applause of the surrounding students and common people, and many scholars praised: "Mr. Xun is really talented."

Liu Hong called Jian Shuo to his side.

Whispered in his ear: "I want to know his name!"

"Here!" Jian Shuo winked at the casually dressed Captain Xiyuan, and Captain Xiyuan approached knowingly, while Liu Hong and Jian Shuo walked out quickly.

The carriage was just outside Yulin Temple. Liu Hong boarded the carriage and sat in it.

Eyes narrowed.

He murmured: "Red? Why is the word 'red'?"

Of course, Liu Hong doesn't need to be too anxious, someone will submit the answer to the Qianqiu Long Live Hall in a short time.

...

...

As Liu Hong's carriage drove away, Xun Yu noticed Xun You.

"Why did Gongda come here?"

Just now, the Confucian scholar who inadvertently solved the "word riddle" to His Majesty was Xun You, which was considered unintentional.

"uncle…"

Seeing Xun Yu, Xun You performed a very standard etiquette. "It's spread in Taixue. Tonight, Liu Guan's main method is to ask 'Lao Tzu' to give advice to the big man. How can my nephew not come and take a look at such a grand event?"

"Gongda..." Xun Yu continued, "I heard from some Confucian scholars, and you found out that the answer is 'red'?"

"That's right, it's the 'red' of Uncle's red Confucian robe." Xun You said, "Uncle and Guanzhu Liu are friends, so it's possible that you don't know the answer to this mystery?"

Xun Yu shook his head.

Xun You told him the analysis again.

At this time, someone asked Liu Yu.

"Guanzhu Liu, is the answer to 'One River of Water and Qingjiang is a foreign land' the word 'red'?"

"Why?" Liu Yu in the middle of the courtyard asked back.

This person also narrated the set of Xun You's analysis.

Liu Yu nodded. "Come to think of it, this 'red' character is a reminder from the ancestor."

This time, everyone was even more confused.

"Guanzhu Liu, how to explain the 'red'?"

This question is raised.

Everyone's eyes were projected on Liu Yu again, facing the countless eyes with "question marks", Liu Yu looked calm, he first raised his eyes to look at everyone.

Immediately, he raised his voice: "The meaning of the ancestor is that today's Yulin Temple, the person in the red robe can break the situation!"

This…

As soon as Liu Yu said these words, the entire Yulin Temple was in an uproar.

red?Can the man in the red robe break this situation?

It means that whoever wears the red robe today can defeat the envoy of the Southern Huns?
Now, everyone looked at their clothes subconsciously, but then they thought, no... who would wear red clothes on normal days?
Isn't there any happy event?
Besides, most of Yulin temples are rangers and warriors, who are low-key and don't know how to wear bright clothes.

What's more, from their point of view, the two generals Duan Jiong and Huangfu Song were knocked off the ring by the Southern Huns prince.

Not only rangers and warriors, but also scholars and common people, especially the common people...there are only one or two red clothes at home, and they are all worn to participate in festive festivals, naturally not today.

That is…

Looking around, countless people noticed that there were indeed several men in red robes in the entire Yulin Temple.

——Qiao Xuan, Cai Yong...

And, Xun Yu standing beside Xun You.

"It's... it's me?"

Immediately, Xun Yu glanced at his clothes, thinking that the red robe was sent by Brother Yu to send incense, his eyes widened, and he realized that this might have been arranged by Brother Yu early in the morning.

Xun Yu noticed that not far away, Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong looked at each other with a bit of surprise, but under Xun Yu's keen gaze, they still caught an intriguing deliberation.

Is this... the original arrangement between Xiandi, Qiaozi and Caizi?
"Uncle... the originator of Taoism... no... the person chosen by Guanzhu Liu is... you?" Xun You also had a look of astonishment on his face.

Speaking of which, as a child of the Xun family in Yingchuan, I don't just read poetry and books.

The six arts of a gentleman are also extremely important in the growth process.

But "riding" and "shooting" in the six arts of a gentleman are one thing, but fighting in the ring is another thing.

Even "Xunzi", the ancestor of the Xun family in Yingchuan, once passed down a set of swordsmanship.

It's dazzling, but it's powerful...

The element of performance is far greater than the ability of actual combat. If it is only at first glance, you think it is exquisite and a master.

Of course, it's not just the Xun family.

Many clans have inherited swordsmanship, which looks dazzling and dazzled, but is actually vulnerable. To put it bluntly... these swordsmanship are used for dancing swords during banquets.

How can it be so cumbersome to really fight the enemy, and it is often simplified, paying attention to one fatal move.

"me…"

For a moment, Xun Yu didn't know what to say.

But at this moment. "Hahaha..." A hearty laugh resounded through the entire Yulin temple, "I never thought that the ancestor of the Taoist school would think highly of me, Qiao Xuan, so good, my old bones are itching!"

Qiao Xuan opened his mouth, and Cai Yong also took a step forward. He was already handsome, but under a red robe, he was even more dashing and heroic.

"I thought casting the Xiping Stone Scripture would be the most glorious moment in my life, Cai Yong. I didn't want the ancestor of Taoism to choose me. Haha, I can use a pen to collate ancient books, and I can also use a sword to defend my country!"

Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong opened their mouths and announced their families, and immediately...attracted the attention of countless rangers and common people.

Only then did they know that...the person chosen by Lao Tzu was actually the former Taiwei "The Prince of Qiao" Qiao Xuan, and the former head of the Taixue Cai Yong.

"Meet my mentor..."

"Meet my mentor..."

Many scholars who came to Yulin Temple heard the voice of the mentor who taught them, and immediately trotted over, some worshiped Qiao Xuan, and some worshiped Cai Yong.

Everyone was in awe, as if, shocked and impressed by the words of the two benefactors...

Who said Confucian scholars couldn't pick up their swords and defend the empire?

The words of Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan interpreted the eight characters of "the emperor's assistant minister, the country's pillar" in the Taixue Stone Classics, and every student of the Taixue has never forgotten it.

Of course, there is infinite worry in the eyes of every disciple!

"haven't seen you for a long time…"

Qiao Xuan looked at some familiar disciples in front of him.

Cai Yong introduced to his disciples: "Over the years, Qiaozi has been an official without seeking fame, not being afraid of power, and always insisting on fairness and justice. , He has spared no effort in focusing on education, and he has rules and regulations, so you don't have to worry about me, and fight side by side with Qiaozi, hahaha, we are sure to win!"

"Qiaozi, Caizi!"

Some students shouted.

These words immediately infected the people around them.

——"Qiaozi, Caizi!"

——"Qiaozi, Caizi!"

Under the "Kongming Lantern" all over the sky, the voices of "Qiaozi" and "Caizi" came out, each sound was louder and louder, and the sound was louder than the sound, until it was deafening in the end!
Xun Yu was also infected, and he also took a step in the red robe.

Xun You grabbed his hand.

"Uncle, your martial arts..."

Xun Yu turned around, stretched out his other hand and patted Xun You's hand. "Gongda, someone has to step on this mountain of swords, one is to let the reputation pass down, and the other is to live up to what they have learned!"

Speaking of this, Xun Yu turned around again, looked at Liu Yu in front of the wooden table, and said to Xun You in very light and delicate words.

——"I believe him!"

After all...

Together, Qiao Xuan, Cai Yong, and Xun Yu greeted the heroic eyes and walked towards Liu Yu.

Xun Yu could tell that if he won this battle, marrying Miss Tang would no longer be a hindrance to his career... but if he lost, then... he would never be able to stand up.

"Brother..."

Xun Yu groaned softly.

"Trust me." Liu Yu responded with lighter words.

Immediately he stood on a stone step, opened his mouth and said:

——"There is nothing softer than water in the world, and no one who attacks the strong can win. The prince of the Southern Huns only thought he was strong in martial arts, so he dared to put on the ring, but he didn't know that my strong man was never 'martial', but 'army formation' ' with 'Collaboration'!"

——"The prince of the Southern Xiongnu dared to speak loudly and threatened to fight against three of us. If we sent three brave men, the victory would be invincible, and it would be disgraceful to win. Simply, today's ancestors selected three Confucian scholars , neither of them are the queens, nor are they of the age to fight, so the formation of three people can't be regarded as a big man bullying them."

——"Don't worry, my celestial masters have a formation of 'heaven, earth, and man'. One night's practice is enough for the three of them to challenge the Southern Hun prince tomorrow. I hope you will beat the drums for the three of them tomorrow at noon." Shout out, and witness the moment when the Southern Xiongnu prince was in a state of embarrassment!"

Speaking of this, Liu Yu paused. "Besides, tonight, I will mainly teach the three of them the 'Formation of the Three Talents'. In order to avoid hearing from the wall, I hope you all go back first. Thank you Liu Yu!"

A word falls...

Liu Yu added a Taoist etiquette.

The common people, rangers, warriors, and scholars also knew the importance of the relationship, so they didn't stop, and after bowing their hands to Liu Yu, they hurried away...

Within half an hour, only Cai Yong, Qiao Xuan, Xun Yu and Liu Yu were left in the originally bustling courtyard.

A bright moon shines down...

"Huh..." Qiao Xuan breathed out first, "The plan seems to be going smoothly!"

Liu Yu nodded, "Although there are some places that are deliberate, but... the enemy will not notice, and even if they notice, they will not say it clearly."

It is rare for Cai Yong to lift his sword but not his pen, so he stroked his beard. "It seems that tonight, I have to practice hard!"

Xun Yu was dumbfounded when he heard that...

"Qiaozi, Caizi, brother... who are you?"

"Tianshi Dao, do you really have the so-called 'Heaven, Earth, and Man' trinity formation that can defeat powerful enemies?"

This is out of the way...

Cai Yong, Qiao Xuan, and Liu Yu looked at each other, and then smiled "hahahaha".

It was Liu Yu who patted Xun Yu on the shoulder.

"It seems that Wen Ruo is a fan of the authorities, but it doesn't matter. The three talents of 'heaven, earth, and people' are strong when they are strong. If you practice well, you may not be able to fight the prince of the Southern Huns!"

Liu Yu said this firmly, but her eyes were bent, and she was stunned to say the words "extremely firm" with a hint of playfulness.

The Kongming lanterns in the sky have flown away...

The dark night is like a rock, but you can watch Yulin. In front of the "Lao Tzu" statue, Cai Yong, Qiao Xuan, and Xun Yu practiced the "three talents" sword array...

Speaking of it, the most powerful Taoism is actually the "Big Dipper Array" of the Quanzhen Sect of later generations...

Then...

What is the power of the so-called "Three Talents of Taoism" that Liu Yu casually mentioned?

...
