Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 9 The Water Dragon's Might

No matter how much Master Qian insulted and urged, the grain team still failed to reach Luoyang. Just find a village to make do for a night. While resting, he saw the crazy monk following him all the way. Wherever Zhang Shun went, the crazy monk followed.

Everyone was afraid and avoided Zhang Shun one after another. Zhang Shun had no choice but to buy some food from the villagers, borrow some cooking utensils, and go outside the village to cook alone. Ma Daochang, Chen Jindou, and Liu Yinggui felt a little embarrassed, and followed them with fear.

In the end, Zhang Shun drove him aside: "This person is crazy and unpredictable. You should stay away to save him from being hurt." in front of.

Zhang Shun didn't explain, but just shouted: "What are you two doing standing there? Come back and help me get some firewood, just in time for cooking."

The three of them were reprimanded, but instead they were all smiling, as if they were being praised, they happily went to collect firewood. Zhang Shun wasn't very good at housework at first, so he just made do with some rice, added water and stewed it randomly. As a result, it boiled dry and turned into a sticky lump.

Zhang Shun cooked the meal, thinking that the three of them had done a good job in collecting firewood, he called them to eat together, but the three declined.

Zhang Shun had no choice but to eat on his own. The crazy monk followed for a whole day, but he didn't drink a drop of water. When he saw food, he moved closer to him with a shy face.

This guy didn't know how many years he hadn't bathed, and Zhang Shun fainted after only smoking. Zhang Shun's food tasted like chewing wax, but after being smoked by him, he lost his appetite even more, so he handed the bowl to him and scolded with a smile: "You monkey head, do you want to smoke the poor monk to death? Eat yours, that's all." Too much, I can't finish it!"

This "monkey head" eats a lot on weekdays, and he always steals food from others. It's the first time someone gives him food, and he likes it in his heart. He just said: "Master still loves my grandson!"

In fact, Zhang Shun figured it out at this time. Although this guy is not very smart, as long as he is obedient, he is actually a very good talent. Cao Cao has Dianwei and Xu Zhu under his command, and Song Jiang, the governor of the Song Dynasty, still has Li Kui, the murderer king. Could it be that he can't tame a crazy monk?

After eating, Zhang led the crazy monk to find a pond by the way, and let him take a bath in the water. How is this monk willing to do so? It turned out that he was not afraid of the sky or the earth, but he was a little afraid of the water, so he just said: "Master, I dare not talk about this. I am not very familiar with the things in the water."

"What about your water-avoiding sword?"

"My grandson forgot!"

Well, this "dead monkey" is sharp-tongued when it comes to himself. Zhang Shun changed his mind again, can I still be rendered speechless by a lunatic? So he lied to him and said: "As a teacher, I remember some, and I will teach you!"

So, when the three servants found the two of them, they found that they were splashing in the water like idiots. If you take a closer look, you can see that it is practicing dog planing swimming.

It turned out that although Zhang Shun had the same name as "Langli Baitiao", he didn't have the ability of "Langli Baitiao". He is originally from the north, and he has no one to teach him, so he only knows this. Although this swimming posture is ugly, he has practiced it to the extreme, and it is suitable for teaching the crazy monk.

Crazy Monk is very skilled in martial arts, and his physical coordination is very good, so he learned it in just a while. Afraid of catching a cold, Zhang Shun left him splashing in the water, and went ashore first. He put on his clothes, but accidentally stepped on something. Zhang Shun looked down and saw that it was the big iron rod of "Wukong". Zhang Shun thought of the things that had stained this thing in the morning, and couldn't help feeling sick, so he wanted to throw the iron rod into the water to wash it.

Zhang Shun bent down to start, but almost couldn't lift it up, but the weight was wrong. It turns out that the Ming Dynasty storybook novels were popular. Affected by this, generals like to brag about the weight of their weapons.

For example, Liu Ting and Lu Xiangsheng are said to be able to wield a broadsword weighing more than 100 catties, which is a blow method of using training equipment instead of actual combat equipment; another example is Wu Sangui who is said to use a 50 catties broadsword, but the actual weight is only 12 catties. Everyone knows that this kind of rhetoric is used to frighten the stupid people here, to boast about martial arts, not the actual weight.

For actual combat weapons, the heavier the better. Generally, six to seven catties to more than ten catties for a long soldier is already heavy, and if it is heavier, no more than twenty catties is a world-renowned fierce general. Zhang Shun weighed the big iron rod, but it was almost thirty-six catties, he couldn't help being shocked, thinking that he had really found a treasure.

When Zhang Shun washed off the thick layer of black dirt on the outside of the thing, he saw that there was a silver dragon coiled up in the middle of the black thing, and then looked at the two ends, each with a gold hoop, but it was made of red copper. It looks mighty and domineering, but it is a silver dragon and a golden cudgel.

Except for the huge difference in body shape, this monk really needs a complete set of "Cosplay". Wait until the crazy monk finished his bath and came out of the pond. In order to prevent Zhang Shun from revealing his flaws in the future, he provoked the mad monk to retaliate. Then he made a special arrangement and said: "Wukong, this is not the time to learn scriptures in this world. Don't talk nonsense about you and me with others. From now on, I will only call you Wukong, and you will call me master."

Crazy monk, oh no, now call it "Wukong" and nod yes.

"Since you follow me, you still need to abide by the eight precepts, and you must not violate them!"

"Which eight precepts are they all? My old grandson will write them down first." Wukong asked.

"The first commandment is not to kill at will; the second commandment is not to drink alcohol at will; the third commandment is not to commit adultery; the fourth commandment is not to rob and steal; the fifth commandment is not to hurt others at will; the sixth commandment is not to disobey the master; the seventh commandment is not to tell lies As a teacher, the eighth precept and the eighth precept are not allowed. You must not harm me, master." Zhang Shun is not a Buddhist, so he doesn't know what the eight precepts are, but he just made up some himself, and he really can't remember it, and he has made up enough eight precepts.

After Wukong responded one by one, everyone was speechless all night. After a night's rest, we arrived in Luoyang in the morning of the second day. When they arrived in Luoyang, everyone thought they could take a rest, but they never thought that Master Qian would immediately urge them to go on the road after taking them out for a while.

In fact, it is not to blame Master Qian for being impatient this time, it is just because the person in charge in Luoyang told Master Qian that the officers and soldiers of the guard station who received the food had fled to Shanxi because of the bandits in Shaanxi and were encircling and suppressing near Zezhou and Luzhou, so they were diverted to Mengjin to cross the river. north.

At this time, the sky was not very good, and there were dark clouds in the west, and I didn't know if there would be heavy rain. After walking for so long, they couldn't compare to Mr. Qian traveling in a carriage, and everyone immediately complained.

Master Qian didn't care about it, and ordered several attendants to supervise back and forth with whips, and whoever was slow would be whipped twice. As for the attitude of his subordinates, Mrs. Qian didn't care, what use would a countryman be? This time Li Zongqi died, as long as he satisfactorily completed the food delivery, it is estimated that such matters will be in charge of himself in the future. Leading an army alone is better than being alone in the government office, and a lot of oil and water will be swallowed by yourself.

In the afternoon, everyone went to Mengjin. Mengjin, which means "Mengjin", got its name because King Wu of Zhou met eight hundred princes here.

Most of the original ferry crossings in Mengjin were silted up and abandoned, among which Tiexiie Ferry in Tiexie Village, which has not been abandoned, is the most prosperous. There are so many people coming and going on the river that the ferry can't reach them, most of them are lingering and waiting near the ferry.

This place was originally an ancient land with many legends and historic sites. Taking advantage of the moment when there is nothing to do, each rests and travels. The horsemen and soldiers were all sore in their feet and legs, and they had to take care of the food for the carts, so they didn't want to go away. Only that Zhang Shunhe and the three men under him had a sense of elegance, so they wandered around.

Zhang Shun saw a temple nearby, so he took Wukong to watch it. When I got to the front, I found that this temple was neither a Buddha nor a Taoist, but a Fuxi Temple, which is called "Negative Image Temple".

There is a sculpture in front of the temple, which is the appearance of the emperor Fuxi, with the appearance of a dragon and a horse on the left side.

"It is said that the dragon and horse bear the river map, and the turtle camel Luoshu. This is the river map and Luoshu. It is said that this river map came from it. The emperor Fuxi got it and made gossip, and he ruled the world according to God's will." There is an old man with spirit He is hale and hearty, talking to tourists in front of the sculpture, like a tour guide for later generations.

Zhang Shun heard it interesting, so he wanted to spend a few copper coins to buy some tea with him. But when he put his hand in his pocket and touched it, he just remembered. Where do you have money? Not only did he have no money, but because he gave Li Jiyu's wife some silver taels a few days ago, he owed Daoist Ma dozens of taels of silver.

Zhang Shun showed embarrassment, but the old man was kind and said: "Young brother, you are welcome. The little old man is a fisherman here. He just went ashore to relax. He came here to show off his words. No reward is required."

Zhang Shun also said frankly: "I want to give it to you, but I don't have it. I just remembered that I forgot to bring money today. Let's see if I am free later. If I am free, I will treat you to tea."

The two were just being polite, but they didn't take it seriously. Zhang Shun continued to stroll for a while, but found that there was nothing to see inside, so he had to go back.

After leaving the door, he happened to meet the old man again, and Zhang Shun was not a person who would not keep his word, so he dragged the old man to have tea. The old man was quite talkative, and he knew the local allusions like the palm of his hand. He talked about Dayu's great achievements in water control and digging the Three Gorges to open the Meng Gate, and he talked about the anecdote of Han Guangwu Liu Xiu's burial in Beimang.

The two left and talked, followed by Wukong, and returned to the vicinity of the ferry. But suddenly he saw Daoist Ma and Chen Jindou running towards him, and shouted while running: "It's not good, my lord, the river god is going to be angry!"

"What does it mean that the river god is angry?" Zhang Shun wondered.

"It's the Yellow River bursting its embankment and flooding!" The old man's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he shouted anxiously, "What should I do?"

"Where is the high ground?"

"Beimang Mountain in the west is a highland, but it's too far away, I'm afraid it's too late!"

"Where is Hanguang Wuling? Take us there quickly!" Zhang Shun remembered Liu Xiu's cemetery that the old man said just now. Since ancient times, the cemeteries of Chinese emperors like to build rammed earth, and the terrain must be towering. I only hope that Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu is no exception.

At this time, Zhang Shun asked Wukong to follow the old man to open the way ahead, and quickly called Master Qian and others to rush to the mausoleum of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. Come with me!"

The chariots, horses and people who were waiting at Tiexie Ferry heard this, and they all followed them in a mess, either running, driving, or riding.

While the crowd was shouting, suddenly only a loud thunder was heard, and the earth trembled. Looking back, Zhang Shun saw that the rolling Yellow River was like thousands of troops, rushing in like a wall, swarming towards him.
