Chapter 270 Huangfu Duan
But Zhao Zhen and his party said goodbye to Shi Xiu and Xue Yong, and everyone left the Snow Mountain Peak and hurried to the Golden Beach Water Village.
When Zhao Zhen and others arrived, Liu Tang and Song Wan were already waiting here, and Hao Shanfeng only left Zou Run and Zou Yuan to lead the soldiers.
This time, I discussed with Wu Yong that during the trip to Anling and Qudui, I would invite a few brothers who had come early to go. In addition to these three people, I would also bring along Tang Long, who had made great contributions, and Shi Qian, who was traveling around. Two people. In terms of merit, Yang Lin should have gone to the main world to be awarded the title a long time ago, but unfortunately he went to Yan'an Mansion this time.
Shi Qian will be back in just one or two days. After all, Dongchang Mansion where [Purple Beard Uncle] is located is only more than 200 miles away from Liangshan. Before leaving, Wu Yong gave special instructions.
On the way, Zhao Zhen told several people that he would set off as soon as Shi Qian returned. Liu Tang said: "Master, my little brother has nothing else to do these days besides training soldiers and horses. Without the pain of running around in the rivers and lakes, I am still a little uncomfortable for a while. Now it would be best if I could go with the senior official to the main world to see something. "
Hu Sanniang listened on the side and said: "Ms. sir, are you serious about the ghosts and ghosts you said? I have been to mass graves since I was a child, and I have never seen ghosts or zombies. , I’ve only read about it in books about basic monsters.”
Zhao Zhen said: “Don’t say that Sanniang has never seen it, and I have never seen it. I just heard that this ghost is nothing. There is a saying, people are only 30% afraid of ghosts, but ghosts are 70% afraid of people. When the yang energy rushes, the weaker ghosts will be burned to death. , Du Qian, Song Wan and other strong men with strong qi and blood, and have magic tools to exorcise ghosts, they don’t care about the danger to their lives."
After hearing this, Hu Sanniang said: "Mr., I also have a handle made of soapwood. I also want to see the dagger.”
Zhao Zhen said: "It's okay, you haven't met my family in the main world yet, so we just want to meet them together."
After returning to Baishi Manor, Zhao Zhen called Pei Xuan and Tang Long again at night. At the banquet, Zhao Zhen explained the reasons in detail. After listening to this, everyone was not only not afraid, but also looked very interested.
Liu Tangdao: "They all call me [red-haired ghost]. I don't want to see a real ghost one day. I wonder what this ghost looks like?"
Pei Xuandao: "The sage said: "Respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance", it is said that there are three realms of heaven, earth and human beings, heaven is the immortal, earth is the ghost, and the human world is in the middle. Those who have achieved great success in practicing Taoism, cross the Golden Bridge, become immortals and become Taoists, and live freely from then on. "Those who have merit will cross the Silver Bridge and enjoy the world's incense." People, enjoy the blessing of well-off life. Once again, if one's faults outweigh his merits, he will be poor and suffer in the next life, and he will be a low-class person. Finally, the evil people who are full of evil will cross the bamboo bridge and fall into the realm of animals, and they will turn into lice."
"I only said the words of advice from various schools, but I never thought that there are real ghosts. So, doesn't it mean that there really is a heaven and one can live forever?"
Tang Long said: "My little brother has been living in the world for a long time and has seen Taoist priests. There are many monks and monks who practice Taoism. I have never seen these people have any magic power. They are mostly tricks to fool people. I am afraid that practicing Taoism is not easy."
Liu Tang said: "Yes, this is true. I have never seen ghosts, no matter what happens after death, as long as I am happy in this life. "
Song Wandao: "Yes, who can say for sure, happiness in this life is better than anything else. Eating meat, drinking heavily, and wearing matching clothes are all taken care of by high-ranking officials. If there is an afterlife, I would still like to be under the command of high-ranking officials. "
Du Qian also said: "Brother, I am absolutely right. Chai Daguan is not happy here.”
Everyone drank happily and dispersed at midnight. Early on the next morning, Zhao Zhen sent the white clam bracelets of the Eighteen Realms to all the heroes who were going with him. Except for Pei Xuan, they all felt that it was a bit cumbersome to wear them on their hands and they could not use them during martial arts practice. .
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, if you feel it is a burden, you can return it to me after the trip to Anling. This rosary is only used to prevent ghosts from getting close. When it comes to killing ghosts, It is still necessary to rely on brothers to drive out the blood and wave the sword. "
As a first-level bracelet, compared with the second-level bracelet, it only has a Buddha's light that calms the mind and suppresses demons and ghosts. According to Zhao Zhen, it also has an early warning effect.
After lunch, Shi Qian and Duan Jingzhu brought Huangfu Duan and his family to surrender.
Zhao Zhen saw that Huangfu Duan had an unusual appearance, with heavy blue eyes and a beard that extended over his belly, and said: "I have heard of the name of brother Huangfu Duan many times, and I specially invited him to serve in our county. He has always been busy and is not allowed to come in person. Brother, thank you."
After Huangfu Duan heard this, he quickly said: "High officials are very polite, and I have heard the name of high officials many times in Dongchang Mansion. Unfortunately, I have a shallow relationship and no one recommends me, so I don't dare to enter without permission." A few days later, I met two brothers, Duan Jingzhu and Shi Qian. After reading the letters from the high officials, the villain did not hesitate, packed up his belongings, and came with his family. "
Zhao Yuanli came forward with a plate of wine and meat. Come, Zhao Zhen drank three glasses and sat down again. Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother is good at judging horses. He also knows the symptoms of cold and heat in the head and mouth, and can use needles to administer medicine. He has the talent to be a great scholar. How can he not be a guest here?"
Huangfu Duan smiled bitterly and said: "Big The officials praised me, I am just a medical worker, I can't compare with a doctor in the palace, how can I dare to pretend to be a guest of a distinguished person? Moreover, I look like a foreigner, and I cannot be valued. There is only a governor in Dongchang Mansion. Zhang Qing and his two lieutenants Gong Wang and Ding Desun became good friends with the younger brother. "
"Brother Zhang Qing intends to promote the younger brother. It's a pity that he is just a military commander and can't arrange for a villain, so he has been wasting his time until now. I heard that the senior officials wanted my younger brother to take up the post of training department. Although he was interested, the villain didn't dare to come here to ask for a veterinarian to take charge. I am satisfied with my position.”
Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers are so talented, there is no need to be humble. Although there is only one person in the training department, I have discussed with brother Xiao Rang, the county magistrate, to set up human and animal training departments, each in charge of his own department. From now on, my brother will be in charge of the county's veterinarians and medical treatment Livestock, breeding and breeding.”
“It’s just that there are no full-time veterinarians in the county, so brothers need to train them themselves. If you have trustworthy brothers, you can also recruit them from the county. Ordinary livestock brothers can appoint them. I will naturally have a salary here."
Huangfu said: "Don't worry, senior officials, I will take care of it. I have brought three disciples here, and I can handle minor illnesses and disasters. "
Zhao Zhen was overjoyed after hearing this and said: "I have a lot of cattle and sheep here, so I will have to trouble my brothers from now on."
Huangfu Duan agreed upon hearing this, and Zhao Zhen was about to go to Baishi Manor. After arranging Huangfu Duan's residence, Huangfu Duan said: "Young official, you don't need to be in the big official's manor. In addition to the pasture, there must be people in the county who want to treat livestock. It's better for the villain to live near the pasture."
Zhao Zhen said: "I have several pastures here. In the future, I plan to put the land for horse herding on Xiaoping Mountain in the water. Shangwang Village and Liangcun each have a pasture. Brothers can take care of both. There is Kushu Tun. Just leave one person behind to take care of the horses on a daily basis. I also ask you to take care of the horses in the horse army. In this way, brothers will be stationed in Taohua Village, where the scenery is best and can take care of everything. What do you think of Huangfu?" Duandao said: "Everyone listens to the arrangements of the high officials, and the small people can do whatever they want."
Zhao Zhen said: "In this way, when the county's appointment documents, seals, cards, etc. are complete, please invite the county magistrate [Shengshou Shusheng] 】 Xiao Rang sent his brother to take up his post. In addition to his residence, he also built a pharmacy and clinic for his use. He also sent two apprentices from various ranches and asked his brother to stay in the village for the past few days. Zhao Ji, the manager of Zhuang Ding, took my brothers around and waited for me to come back from my trip."
Huangfu Duan agreed one by one.
