Chapter 90 Destiny
Here, Ma Yuanyi entered the back room, and several of his followers from behind the screen came over, all frowning. One of them, a Confucian scholar wearing a Jinxian crown, stepped forward and sighed:
"Brother, this charge is a bit difficult to handle. What should I do?"
Ma Yuanyi didn't say anything, just sitting on his horse in a daze. Suddenly he turned around and asked the Confucian scholar:
"Junior brother, why did you join Taipingdao?"
The junior brother was stunned. He thought for a while and replied:
"My brother lost his father when he was a child, and was bullied by his tribe. He died of hunger in the wild without enough food. He was saved by the great virtuous teacher Daozuo and raised by his side, so he naturally entered Taiping Dao."
Ma Yuanyi shook his head and sighed:
"No, that's not the reason why you entered the Taiping Dao. Why do you have nothing to rely on? Just because of the collapse of human nature in this world, what is human nature? Having enough food and warm clothes is the right thing to do when you are young and support me when you are old.
But when you look at this life again, evil spirits are blocked, which is contrary to human relations and the behavior of beasts. Father and son have no relatives, monarch and ministers have no righteousness, husband and wife are indistinguishable, elder and young have no relationship, and friends have no trust.
And I, the Tao of Taiping, bring peace and tranquility to the world and bring peace to the world. This is the reason why you and I joined the Tao of Peace. ”
His junior brother understood, he stopped being respectful and said coldly:
"Senior brother, that's not what the master said. I advise senior brother to think about it more, don't make mistakes and ruin the relationship between master and disciple."
Hearing what his junior brother said, Ma Yuanyi clenched his fist and sighed:
"Of course I am loyal to my master, but I am even more loyal to my ambition, Huang Tianzhi. This time, my master has gone astray. Is it because of the three crimes of Tang and Zhou that he wants to punish Zhang Chong? It is just to suppress the Lord and others. The two dharma lineages are trying to seize power before their great cause is established. I don’t know whether this is my teacher’s intention or whether it is the hands of you disciples.”
The junior brother got angry and vomited five words:
"Brother, please be careful what you say."
Ma Yuanyi was also shocked. He knew that he had said something that violated taboos, so he didn't say anything. For a while, all the brothers and sisters stopped talking and were silent.
——
When Ma Yuanyi entered the inner room, the Qushuai in the hall began to divide into three groups and started chatting.
One wave was to sacrifice Sun, Guan Hai, Xu He and Zhang Chong. They were all familiar with each other. Now they were leaning together and started to chat. Of course, they mainly talked about Zhang Chonggang's response.
It's Guan Hai again. He slapped his chest with pain, saying that he had been very optimistic about you before. If you can enter Mount Taishan alone and stand up on your own, you are a hero.
This was the first time for Zhang Chong to see this Beihai Guanhai, but he was very familiar with this man. Historically, he was defeated by Liu Bei and his whereabouts are unknown.
In Zhang Chong's opinion, Guan Hai is heroic and a good friend. He is also very comfortable to talk to and has a good temper. The two naturally chatted happily.
And Xu He, who was in yellow clothes next to Guan Hai, was also an old friend of Zhang Chong, so Zhang Chong and the four of them were laughing constantly and showing sincere affection.
There was another group of people on the opposite side. Tang Zhou spoke to Zhang Rao in a low voice with a gloomy face, and looked in Zhang Chong's direction from time to time. The next wave on the side is Sima Ju of Qi State and Guan Cheng of Donglai. They don't rely on anyone, they just want to pour and drink by themselves.
When Tang Zhou saw it, his eyes lit up and he was about to leave his seat and walk to Sima Juna. Suddenly Zhang Chong stepped forward and blocked Tang Zhou.
Tang Zhouyi was so frightened that he almost called someone, because he had seen Zhang Chong's fight with ten people and knew how brave he was. If he was as stupid as Guan Hai, he wouldn't just be a green eye.
Zhang Chong was actually staring at Tang Zhou from the corner of his eye. As soon as he saw Tang Zhou approaching Sima Ju, he guessed that he wanted to contact Sima Ju. Zhang Chong happened to have something to say to Tang Zhou, so he blocked Tang Zhou directly. Zhou's road.
Seeing that Tang Zhou was so frightened, Zhang Chong despised him and felt angry, but he also had some confidence in what was going to happen next.
He looked at Tang Zhou with a smile, and then suddenly whispered to Tang Zhou:
"Old Tang, he embezzled five million dollars. Does the great sage know this?"
After hearing this, all the princes in Tang Zhou's hands fell to the ground.
Everyone was joking among themselves, but suddenly they saw that Zhang Chong just whispered a word to Tang Zhou, and then dropped the prince to the ground. No one spoke for a while, everyone looked at Tang Zhou. The atmosphere was solemn, Tang Zhou tried his best to smile, and said with a smile:
"This little Zhang is very funny when he talks. I was caught off guard and made him laugh."
Then he bent down to pick up Jue on the wooden floor. Zhang Chong picked it up first and said to Tang Zhou:
"Lao Tang can think about it after a while, otherwise the great virtuous master will be very angry."
After saying that, Zhang Chong put Jue into Tang Zhou's arms and said loudly:
"Old Tang just keeps making you laugh. Don't throw away this wine prince, otherwise you will no longer be able to drink from this cup."
Then Zhang Chong stopped looking at Tang Zhou and slowly returned to Ji Sun and others, continued drinking and talking.
Tang Zhou was left alone to kneel down on the table. Even Zhang Rao next to him had spoken to him several times, but he didn't realize it. Zhang Rao was so angry that he snorted and ignored him again.
Afterwards, after a long meal, Ma Yuanyi from Lishe came out, and at the same time there was a man dressed as a Confucian scholar, whom everyone had never seen before.
As soon as this life came out, he had a gloomy face, glanced at Zhang Chong and said nothing.
Ma Yuanyi didn't introduce him to everyone, so he took this junior brother back to sit at the top.
After everyone finished sitting, he asked Zhang Chong:
"Zhang Chong, do you really plead guilty?"
Zhang Chong stood up and said boldly:
"I am willing to be deposed and do not blame Huang Tian."
Then Ma Yuanyi was about to continue speaking, and Tang Zhou, who was under his right hand over there, suddenly said loudly:
"Honored Sir, I feel that Zhang Chong is the essence of my teaching. As the saying goes, it is better to perform meritorious deeds than to perform meritorious deeds. Leaving Zhang Chong to take advantage of his crimes and perform meritorious deeds will further show the love among my Taiping Dao colleagues."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was confused. Why is Tang Zhou so easy to talk to?
Unexpectedly, when Ma Yuanyi, the leader, heard this, he stood up from the crowd. He pointed at Zhang Chong and praised:
"Today, I have never heard of "three faults". I only heard that there are three merits in this attack. The first merit is to be good at fighting without precedent; the second merit is to complain directly; the third merit is to dare to be the first in the world.
I'm not here to rebuke Zhang Chong, but to praise him. I had long heard that Third Master Uncle said that Zhang Chong would be his disciple from now on, and I had long been curious about this unmasked junior brother. When I saw you today, I realized that he was extraordinary and that he was the person I taught. ”
Then he said to Zhang Chong:
"Work hard, I hope you will not forget today's ambition, and remember that our way to peace is to seek from the straight rather than from the crooked."
After Zhang Chong heard this, he bowed deeply and said "Well."
Then Ma Yuanyi looked around at all the Qushuai present:
"I often hear people say this weird thing in Hebei, saying that my great sage, Heavenly Master, is already at an advanced age. Can I still lead us to the path of peace and prosperity?
Today I, Ma Yuanyi, am here to tell all my colleagues in Qingzhou: In the past, Jiang Shang's father was ninety years old, and he was still fighting with his sword and ax. My master has inherited Huang Tian's order from above, and bears the spirit of thousands of people below him. If Huang Tian's order is still there, why should I talk about old age? Now that the Han Dynasty is over, can all the comrades and servants achieve great achievements together? ”
The leaders of all canals in Qingzhou stood up and sang:
"Wei!"
