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

Chapter 43 The beginning of all things, the avenue to simplicity, the evolution to complexity

At the foot of the Heming Mountain, bells and pots rang together, playing a soft and elegant movement with the rhythm of Shu County.

At one table, Zhang Lu and Liu Yu sat on both sides.

There are Shu girls dancing under the stage, and one of the dancers raises her eyes from time to time, sneaking glances at this "big sacrificial wine" who is sitting side by side with the newly promoted celestial master...

There were wine and food on the table, Zhang Lu catered to the movement and dance, knocked on the chopsticks and chanted softly: "Fou, pottery is also, so it holds wine pulp, and the Qin people drum it with festival songs! This is the first time I know this Fou ware, I still heard about it from the story of Qin Zhao's "Mianchi meeting"!"

What Zhang Lu said seemed to mean something else.

Liu Yu's eyes were fixed, and he followed his words and said: "In the pre-Qin period, at the Mianchi meeting, the King of Qin tricked him and proposed, 'I have heard Zhao Wang's good voice, please play the harp', so King Zhao played the harp, and Qin Yushi recorded it: 'On a certain day, month and day, the King of Qin and the King of Zhao had a drink together, and the King of Zhao was bewitched'!"

"Afterwards, it was Lin Xiangru who held the fou in his hand and said, "King Zhao heard that the king of Qin was good at Qin, please offer a pot of fou to the king of Qin to entertain him." Order the censor of Zhao State to record 'On a certain day, month and day, the King of Qin fought fou for the King of Zhao'!"

This is a well-known story.

At this time, for some unknown reason, in order to cater to this "fou" music, it unexpectedly showed a bit of heaviness and sadness.

Zhang Lu absent-mindedly sang along to the sound of the fou, holding the wine in his hand, but didn't drink it.

The appearance of his father Zhang Heng when he was dying flashed through his mind.

His eyes slowly turned red, and he stopped moaning softly.

After the sound of the fou fell, Liu Yu stared at Zhang Lu who was in deep thought, realized something, and didn't speak for a while.

Zhang Lu woke up with a start and smiled awkwardly.

"Father is so good!"

"Yes!" Liu Yu nodded. "Master has always had a soft spot for Fou!"

Zhang Lu sighed. "Junior brother, during the days when you were not in Shu County, father always beat the fou and chanted softly..."

"Sing what?"

"Father chanted softly. Everyone knows that King Zhao once played the harp for King Qin, and King Qin played fou for King Zhao. But in the current situation, it is Confucianism that makes my Daoist bewitch. It is sad, but my Daoist is not as good as that." Lin Xiangru's courageous and wise man can force Confucianism to fight for my Daoism!"

Zhang Lu's words were full of sadness and regret.

Liu Yu's expression was rare and sincere, he could understand the mood of his senior brother, and he could even more understand the mood of his master when he uttered these words.

How difficult it is to maintain the orthodoxy of the Taoism these years!

At this moment, Zhang Lu smiled bitterly. "Tomorrow, the junior brother and the eldest sister will return to the Central Plains, what is the junior brother going to do?"

Don't look at the three words "how to do it"!
But it contains two opponents, Taipingdao and Confucianism;
What's more, supporting the big man in Jiangqing and shaking the Daomen in Xiongfeng, these two tasks are extremely difficult just to hear them.

This made Liu Yu not quickly formulate a good strategy.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Yu opened his mouth just now. "I didn't intend to compete with the Confucianism or the Taiping Dao, but since it is the master's last wish, the master treats me with great kindness! It seems that I must set foot on this mountain of swords, not to let my reputation pass on, at least , let our orthodox disciples of the Taoist sect see some hope!"

"Junior brother's words are wrong..." Unexpectedly, just as Liu Yu opened his mouth, Zhang Lu interrupted Liu Yu's words. "It's not 'I' who want to set foot on this mountain of swords, but 'we' who want to set foot on this mountain of swords together! In the alliance, although I am a celestial master, you have the same status as me and are the most valued by my father Disciple, what do you want to do, everyone in my way, including me, will help and go all out! If you encounter a mountain of swords, you wave your arms, and some disciples and ghost soldiers will open the way for you. Even if you need me, brother, It will also go forward!"

Speaking of which...

Zhang Lu reached out and patted Liu Yu's shoulder. "You are a sacrificial wine, a younger brother, but also my brother-in-law! You will not be alone on this road!"

As the voice fell, Zhang Lu's tone became more and more emotional: "Doing nothing, doing nothing, tasteless, repaying virtue with resentment, trying to make it harder than easy, doing more than it is small... It is difficult for a sage, so there will be no difficulty in the end!"

hear here...

Liu Yu said with emotion: "Senior brother memorized this article "Five Thousand Essays of Lao Tzu" well, 'Difficult things in the world must be done in an easy way, and major events in the world must be done in a detailed way', all difficult things in the world must be done from an easy place , all major events in the world must start from the small parts! The younger brother has been taught!"

"Haha..." Zhang Lu smiled: "How can I teach you? This is what my father repeatedly mentioned when he taught by example, and asked me to pass it on to you for him! Junior brother, now... don't you know what to do?"

"From the beginning of all things, from the avenue to simplicity, from evolution to complexity!" Liu Yu opened her mouth with a firm tone. "If you want to prosper the way of heavenly masters, you must establish the Taoist gate; if you want to prosper the Taoist gate, you must support the Han Dynasty; if you want to support the Han dynasty, you must have Taoists enter the temple!"

"Haha... such a Taoist must enter the temple!" Zhang Lu laughed again. "Junior brother and I want to go together!"

Just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion in history...

Those who suppressed the Yellow Turban rebellion were like crucian carp crossing the river, but how many people were rewarded in the end?

Even though the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang have made great contributions, in the end they are not just "Anxi county captains"...

In the Han Dynasty, no matter what you do, you need a name, in other words, to enter the temple!

If you don't enter the temple, don't talk about "helping the Han Dynasty" or "Xing Daomen", any cruel official or eunuch can kill the rise of the Taoist school in the cradle.

"Come, pour wine!" Zhang Lu waved his long sleeves, and several Shu girls filled the wine for the two of them.

"Brother Yu, I wish you a triumphant return with this cup!" Zhang Lu stood up and respected Liu Yu.

Liu Yu also raised the wine bottle, "Brother, this is wrong, it should be wishing us a victory in the opening of the Taoist flag, first enter the temple, then help the Han Dynasty, and then prosper the sect!"

"it is good…"

In a word...

The two drank.

The atmosphere here was upright and lively, Zhang Yulan suddenly appeared at the door, followed by a maid, and the Shu girls who were dancing off the stage retreated tacitly, and whispered "Saint!"

Zhang Lu's smile was slightly restrained. "Why is elder sister here?"

Zhang Yulan smiled. "I heard that my husband and Di Lu drink alcohol, and I'm afraid that if I get drunk, I'll delay my journey tomorrow, so I'm here to bring sober soup!"

When she came forward, the maid opened the food box, and the dancing Shu girls put small bowls in front of Liu Yu and Zhang Lu, and Zhang Yulan poured soup for them herself.

"Husband and Lu Di seem to be chatting happily..."

Her voice is soft and her steps are elegant, like Lingbo's microsteps.

"Haha..." Zhang Lu was both surprised and delighted, "Elder Sister? You are married to a woman, why have you changed your temperament, instead of using a knife and gun, you are now cooking this soup? No way, you will have to do it in the future Female red, right? Haha..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Yulan looked slightly at Liu Yu. "Who made the rules? Saintesses can only wield knives and guns? Can't cook female reds?"

Uh…

Zhang Lu was startled.

He didn't expect that the eldest sister, who was always full of heroism and existed like a "female ranger", would have such a delicate side.

"Okay, let's chat for a while, and I'll go down first."

Seeing Liu Yu nodding, Zhang Yulan floated away with the maids and Shu girls, but... Among the Shu girls, one of the Shu girls looked back at Liu Yu extra.

She specially remembered that sentence in her heart——

——"If you want to prosper the Taoism, you must support the Han Dynasty, and if you want to support the Han Dynasty, you must have Taoists enter the temple!"

Into the temple?
Is it?

Moaning softly in her heart, she seemed to be deliberately deepening her memory!
