Merry Eunuch Lang

The altitude of Wushao Ridge is not very high, the distance from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is only a dozen li at most, and the mountain is not steep, but the climate is notoriously harsh.There is a poem about the benefits of Wushaoling. The poem says: It rains lightly under the mountain and snows on the mountain, and there are two seasons up and down the mountain.When the guests at the foot of the ridge waved their fans, it was snowing in June above the ridge.

The little eunuch led an army of [-] without stopping, and headed straight for Xiliang.The former army had already crossed the mountain, the Chinese army had just reached the top of the mountain, and the rear army was still dozens of miles away.A soldier came to report:

"Commander, there is a temple on the mountain, and the incense is very strong. General Cao Huazhi, the vanguard officer on the way forward, left a message saying that I will report to the commander when I climb to the top of the mountain. Do you want to go to the temple to ask for a hexagram?"

The little eunuch has never believed in the saying that there is a god in the world, the god is in his heart, he believes in himself, he is the god.However, it was sent by my wife, so I had no choice but to follow. The little eunuch rode on the horse and looked back at the brothers. Hu San and others understood, and they all nodded in agreement, and they all went to the temple together.

Dismounting in front of the temple, some soldiers led the horses. The eunuch led Hu San, Wang Xiaowu, Hua Shixiong, Zhu Linzong, Zhang Facun, Huang Ren, Lei Xubin and more than a dozen people to visit the temple and ask for a lottery.At the gate, there is an old Taoist priest Han Jizu leading all his disciples to welcome him in front of the gate.

The little eunuch put his right hand on his chest, bowed, and saluted:

"The Taoist priest invited me. I didn't want to disturb the clean land of the Taoist sect when I was passing by, but I had something to ask the Taoist priest, so I boldly entered the temple and worshiped. I also hope that the master of the divine way will give me some advice."

The old Taoist bowed his head, shouted "Infinite Heavenly Venerable", and said:

"The heavenly soldiers passed by the small temple, and the general came to give me pointers. It is a rare luck in a hundred years to see the dragon and the phoenix presenting auspiciousness and flourishing. We live in poor mountains and rivers, and are ignorant and ignorant. We are all frogs in the well. How dare we talk about it? The general does not dislike it, please go to the quiet room to talk."

Everyone sat down one by one, and the little eunuch took a sip of the tea from the teacup and asked respectfully:

"Ask Master, what is the origin of this Xiangzi Temple? There must be an allusion."

The old Taoist bowed his head again, and said: "Infinite Heaven, the benefactor is laughing. Xiangzi is one of the Eight Immortals. This temple name was created by my great ancestor, Mr. Han Xiangzi, and the name of the poor Taoist layman is Han Jizu."

The little eunuch said: "I have admired him for a long time, so the Taoist priest has a deep foundation, and he must be a real person who has attained the Tao."

The old Taoist waved his hand and said: "Ashamed and ashamed, the benefactor is a hero with great talent and awe-inspiring justice. He supports the Lord and protects the country, opens up borders and splits the land, saves the people from the fire and water, and turns the tide before it collapses. He is a rare genius in the world. A poor Taoist knows heroes. Sansheng is lucky."

Everyone loves compliments, and the little eunuch is no exception.He picked up the teacup, drank a big gulp, wiped his mouth, and said briskly:

"The Taoist priest stays at home, but he knows everything about the world like the palm of his hand, and he has insight into every detail. I can't help but make my boy fall to the ground and admire him. Then I ask the master, there is always a foundation in the world. When the Taoist priest calculates, what do I have?" foundation?"

The old Taoist sized up the little eunuch's face carefully, and then made him come closer, pinching here, touching there, pondering for a moment, looking around, a little confused:

"The general can keep your troops away."

The little eunuch laughed and said: "Master, here are all my brothers, there is no one outsider, so it's okay to speak up."

"I don't know what the benefactor wants to know?"

"Master, please tell me about my predecessor!" The little eunuch didn't take it seriously at first, but just sneaked in to have fun.

"The predecessor of the benefactor was a son of a poor and settled family. He specialized in idleness, made friends with gangsters, drank and made troubles, oppressed good people, and molested women. Later, his family fell into ruin and he became a tomb robber." The old Taoist closed his eyes and meditated, just talking Come as if no one was in the room.

"What happened later?" The little eunuch couldn't hold back, although what he said was about the past, it had something to do with him after all.

"Tomb robbery is nothing more than tomb robbery. Since the person is dead, it is useless to bury the property in the ground. It is enough to exchange for a bowl of food. However, this man has a wicked plan. When he digs up the grave, if it is a male corpse, he will cut up the person and the property Go, throw it aside. If it is a female corpse, no matter whether you are old or young, you will all commit adultery." The old man still had that demeanor, as if he was telling the truth.

"Oh, my predecessor is really a heinous bastard. If it falls into my hands, he must be cut into pieces and fed to the dogs!" The little eunuch blushed, and wanted the old man to stop talking. , and eager to know the following, he couldn't help asking, "What about later?"

"The Emperor of Heaven was furious and punished this disciple to be a eunuch in the next life."

The little eunuch couldn't help touching his crotch, as if someone wanted to snatch it from him, and asked anxiously:

"Did the eunuch finish it?"

"No." The master smiled slightly.

"Why is this?" Fang Xin, the little eunuch at this time, said that life has cause and effect.

"Because the little eunuch changed his surname to Pan, the Emperor of Heaven also made a mistake."

"Is it wrong to correct it?"

"Just because the little eunuch has transformed into a gentleman in this life, who knows how to repay kindness, hides evil and promotes good, the Heavenly Emperor forgives him." After the old Taoist finished speaking, he laughed and added, "The poor Taoist is talking nonsense, just for fun, the general doesn't have to really."

"Isn't it true that there is no reward for good and evil, and that the Emperor of Heaven has done something unknown?" the little eunuch said angrily.

"No, as the saying goes, the sky net is restored, and it is not leaked. How could the emperor of heaven do something unknown? Later, this matter was retribution to another person, who happened to be surnamed Wang. Don't the benefactor think that good and evil are rewarded?" Without waiting for the little eunuch to answer, the old Taoist clasped his fingers together with one hand and whispered "Buddha of Infinite Life", ending his conversation.

Others don't know, but of course the little eunuch understands.Hu San also only knows one or two of them, but the secrets are so mysterious that neither of them made a sound.

All of a sudden, there was a Xiaodao boy outside to report: "Daozu, it's snowing, it's snowing, it's snowing!"

The little eunuch was stunned. The mountain was high and the slope was steep, and it was extremely difficult to walk in normal times. How could the army get through the mountain with such a heavy snowfall?The little eunuch asked the old master how to cross the mountain, and the old master said:

"This is God's will. The power of the sky is boundless, and man cannot do it. The general has such a catastrophe, and he cannot escape it. Even if the poor Taoist reveals one or two things, it will be in vain. General, stop worrying. After three days, it will be a blessing or a disaster. I’m afraid there should be a conclusion.”

The little eunuch and others hurried out of the temple gate, walked to the open field, looked up, the sky was covered with white catkins fluttering, and the surrounding area was vast.It stands to reason that it is still autumn now, so there shouldn't be such heavy snow.As the old Taoist said, the power of heaven is boundless, and man cannot do anything, so what's the use of worrying?The little eunuch ordered the three armies to camp on the spot, set up tents, and bury pots for cooking.And look around for more dry firewood, cow dung, etc., to light a fire to keep warm to prevent frostbite.

Not long after, the sergeant came back and reported, "The cow dung is hidden in the snow and cannot be found. There are few trees on the top of the mountain. Let alone dry firewood, it is impossible to find wet firewood."

The little eunuch was at a loss. He knew that in such a climate, the mountains would be covered by heavy snow, and it would be extremely cold at night after the snow. The soldiers would freeze to death if they didn’t bring cotton-padded coats and thick quilts. What should we do now? ?

Cao Huazhi was the vanguard, and Shangguanxue, Yin Tianxue, Huang Qiuchan, and Ruan Shimei were the deputy vanguards. They led [-] elite soldiers to lead the way.Seeing that it was not early, I was about to order the sergeant to camp and set up a camp, and buried pots for cooking.Looking back suddenly, the sun is still shining at the bottom of the mountain, but the top of the mountain is vast.Urgently summoned the army guide to ask what the weather was like, the guide yelled "No!"He hurriedly said to the five female generals:

"This is snow in August. It must happen once every few years. The snowfall time can be long or short. The short ones range from three to five days, and the long ones don't stop for half a month."

"Can I go down the mountain after the snow stops?" Cao Huazhi asked.

"Don't do it!" The guide shook his head like a drum, and then said, "If you are unfortunately trapped on the top of the mountain, you can only go down the mountain when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom in the next year. If you have to go down the mountain, you need three or five people to accompany you. Some of them escaped death by wrapping their heads, crawling or rolling," said the guide.

The five of Cao Huazhi immediately looked at each other, all of them were sad, and their hearts were overwhelmed, like a thousand arrows piercing their hearts: her husband was trapped on the top of the mountain, and there were 9 to [-] people under his command.Not to mention the coming year, even a day or two will not last.The five despondent women squeezed into one tent, unable to think about water or rice, restless sitting or lying down, going in and out from time to time, looking at the sky and the mountains, and did not enter the tent until the sun had set in the west and the earth was as dark as ink. Li sighed and sighed, I don't know when it will be dawn?

Zhao Xiaogao led 5000 troops to escort food and grass behind him. Suddenly, he heard a soldier bring local people to report that it was snowing on the top of the mountain, and Marshal Pan led a total of 8 Chinese troops to be trapped on the peak.Ask him how to select some capable soldiers and try to send some food up there?

The local people shook their heads and said that there was no way out, and reported the truth to Zhao Xiaogao according to the actual situation.

Zhao Xiaogao was overjoyed when he heard the news, raised his hand, and secretly rejoiced: Pan You'an's end is here!

"Apart from Marshal Pan, is there anyone else who can go up the mountain in the future?" Zhao Xiaogao asked the accompanying sergeant.

"Ginkgo Dundup, a girl from the Yu nationality, led two thousand guards to protect her family, but she has not yet entered the mountain."

After hearing this, Zhao Xiaogao was overjoyed again: I have heard for a long time that this lark has a loud voice, is handsome, has a slender figure, and is good at singing and dancing. It's my turn to enjoy it tonight!
