Chapter 42: Peach Blossom Spring, Sowing Beans to Make Soldiers (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Langya King Sima Daozi left the stage and everyone at the banquet gradually dispersed.

"Mr. Shanbo, we haven't seen each other for two years. Come to my house when you have time."

"Shanbo, haha, I knew you could become something great."

"A young man is made a marquis, he is really young and capable."

Many children of aristocratic families have titles, and most of them inherit the titles from their fathers. It is indeed rare for someone like Liang Yue to be granted a title for his merits.

Everyone in Taihu Academy felt a little disappointed. The poor boy back then was now a marquis. The fate of life was hard to predict.

Liang Yue couldn't help but sigh that once a person has fame and status, countless good people will suddenly appear around him.

After chatting awkwardly with his classmates from Taihu Academy for a while, Liang Yue went to say goodbye to Zhu Gongyuan.

"Uncle Zhu, I will go ahead. If you are free, you can come to Liuzhuang outside the city to have a chat. I will prepare a bed for you."

Zhu Gongyuan smiled gently and said, "Sure, I'll come back in a few days while I visit my old friend."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Mr. Shanbo." Tao Yuanming was carrying his bag and preparing to leave.

"Yuanliang, where are we going next?"

"In Wuling County, Jingzhou, I heard there is a secluded paradise there. I want to go and see it."

Tao Yuanming was a person who disliked noise. He went out to Kuaiji to be a small clerk. He happened to see Liang Yue being so free and easy and was envious. So he decided to give up his job and devote himself to the countryside and travel in the mountains.

"Peach Blossom Spring..." Liang Yue's heart moved, and he thought of the King of Yue Snake Swallowing the Land, but Wuling is in Jingzhou, perhaps it is a new blessed land.

"Brother Tao, do you have any money?"

Tao Yuanming looked embarrassed and said, "Ahem, I have no money left. I spent a lot on the road."

Liang Yue took two strings of copper coins and two pieces of gold from the carriage.

"You take it first. We are like old friends. There is no need to be so humble. Remember to keep in touch with each other through letters."

"You're welcome, thank you, Mr. Shanbo." Tao Yuanming did not refuse. He clasped his fists solemnly and watched Liang Yue's carriage leave.

In the carriage, Liang Yue closed his eyes.

His worldly identity was determined, and he escaped from the common people's life, and had a territory to protect in troubled times.

The art of protecting the way is being cultivated, and more spells and blessed places are being sought. The foundation of the two brothers Liu Chong and Lin Jian has begun to show results.

The difficulty of establishing a stable life and surviving for eighty years has decreased, but it has not disappeared.

Barbarians, refugees, the Taiping Heavenly Masters, aristocratic families, the Sima clan...

"A new challenge has begun."

Liang Yue closed his eyes and rested.

He returned home and told everyone in the Liang family the good news.

"Good, the ancestors of the Liang family can finally rest in peace." Grandmother burst into tears, but she still had one last wish to fulfill: "When will you marry Yingtai back?"

"almost."

On the second day, at night, Liang Yue invited everyone to a banquet, and Liuzhuang held a grand banquet.

At the Liuyuan Waterside Pavilion, Liu Chong, Lin Jian, Shi Quanzi, and even Jie Kong were called over.

"Marquis of Changle Ting." Jie Kong let out a long sigh, feeling somewhat relieved. Although his family background was slightly inferior, at least his status matched.

"Come on, drink!"

In the eleventh year of Taiyuan, Liang Yue was granted the title of Marquis of Changle Ting.

At the banquet, Shi Quanzi smiled and said, "Shan Bo, have you tasted the sweetness of fame and power? Are you ready to come out of retirement?"

Liu Chong put down his wine glass, wiped the wine stains from his beard, and said with a smile: "Brother, come to East Lake. You will take care of the logistics and food, and I will take care of the personnel and internal affairs. Let's build a strong army, make achievements, and be awarded the title of nobility and prime minister!"

"Haha, what big brother said is absolutely right. Let's share the wealth and prosperity and become nobles for generations." Lin Jian has tasted the sweetness of power and is unwilling to return to the humble life of a businessman.

"Forget it, it's too troublesome. It's better to live a peaceful and comfortable life in the countryside." Liang Yue shook his head and declined.

"It's not bad to be an idler."

"My realm is not as good as yours." Liu Chong sighed. His child was about to be born, and he always wanted to leave something for the child.

The two knew Liang Yue's character and did not try to persuade him.

After the banquet, the two men rode towards the military camp.

The chilly cold wind sobers me up.

"Brother, my third brother has done a lot of things, but it seems that he doesn't want to compete for fame and fortune. Why is that?" Lin Jian was puzzled.

Although the strategies and financial resources of the Donghu soldiers were implemented by them, they were actually conceived by Liang Yue.

Liu Chong sobered up and laughed when he heard this:

"Third brother doesn't like worldly affairs; the life of a carefree wanderer, drinking wine in the mountains is what he wants. He did so much before, but only for the people of the world. Second brother!"

"exist!"

"We are determined to become great heroes and create a peaceful and prosperous world for our third brother, so that he can live a carefree life!"

After pacifying the country, he was granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister.

Completed the unfinished work of Zu Ti, Yu Liang, Huan Wen and Xie Anshi.

"Hahaha! Good!"

Galloping on horseback, with great heroic spirit.

The golden swords and iron horses are as fierce as tigers. …

In the next two days, Liang Yue did not show up in the limelight, but studied the Four Methods of Bird Escape, the Seven Techniques of Huainan, the Golden and Jade Elixir, the Ever-Bright Lamp, etc. at home.

Occasionally feed the divine crows and use the Indian mantra to observe the outside world.

Sun Song visited the major powerful families in Kuaiji, and many of the family heads immediately converted to the Taiping Tianshi Dao and became believers.

From then on, he began to make elixirs and seek medicine, avoiding the world and not participating in government affairs; the aristocratic families became more extravagant and lustful, and even ordinary powerful people were exploited. If Liang Yue did not have a title, he would probably face more harassment.

Ma family land.

The air was filled with smoke and chaos, and everyone was drunk and taking drugs. The children of the Ma, Shi, and Yang families were all present.

"Haha, Shanyin Liang, you just arrived and don't even know how to bow at the gate. Sooner or later, I'll teach you a lesson." Everyone thought to themselves.

……

The carriage was traveling on the official road, and members of the Sun family were driving the carriage.

Sun Song closed his eyes and thought.

The aristocratic families are nothing but the spark of troubled times. They will not sincerely join the Tianshi Dao. If we want long-term stability, we must recruit talents and manage the local area.

He thought of Liang Yue again.

This man came from a poor family, was proficient in farming, medicine, and had a good reputation among the people. He was indeed a talented person who could be a strong arm in managing Jiangzuo in the future.

"You can't lure them with benefits, you should lure them with the law."

Sun Song has different methods when dealing with different people. He tempts the wealthy and powerful families with health-preserving elixirs and lures the common people with fame and fortune.

For people like Liang Yue who have a heart towards Taoism, the magic of Tianshidao can be used to lure them.

Thinking of this, Sun Song took out an ancient book which recorded the magic spells passed down from ancient times.

This person will definitely be interested in this method, but he will certainly not be able to learn it. I will take this opportunity to offer to teach him the spell and allow him to get started.

Of course, Sun Song didn’t know any magic, and the so-called magic before was just a trick.

No matter what, first trick him into entering this door, guide him step by step, and finally use threats and inducements to trick him into going up the mountain.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Liuzhuang.

"The Immortal Sun Song wants to see the Marquis of Changle Pavilion!"

The Sun family Taoist boy shouted.

……

Bamboo forest in the back garden.

Sun Song was dressed in a crane cloak, with long fluttering beard, and had an immortal look and demeanor, like a god.

"The way of the gods is not illusory, but the people of the world are ignorant and do not know the true gods."

When Liang Yue saw this guy, he secretly thought that something was wrong. This person from Tianshidao might want to recruit him.

This group of people will be a big whirlpool in the future, how could he possibly get involved in these things.

Liang Yue smiled bitterly and said, "Yes. I was always deceived by scammers when I was seeking the Tao before. I am a mortal with mortal eyes and cannot recognize the true Dharma, so I gave up practicing Taoism."

How about killing this person on the road? Otherwise, it would be troublesome to be targeted.

"Your Excellency has a full forehead and a round chin. You have the appearance of an immortal child. Sometimes the righteous law may be right before your eyes."

Sun Song slapped the booklet on the table, stroked his beard, and looked mysterious.

"This is an ancient magic from the Tianshi Dao. It will broaden your horizons. You may want to try to practice it. Haha."

There are four big words written on the ancient book: Sowing beans turns into soldiers.

Liang Yue’s eyes widened when he saw this.

Sun Song nodded secretly, and the fish finally took the bait.

"Master Sun, can I take a look?" Liang Yue never expected that there would be something good coming to him.

This guy probably wants to use Xuan Dao to lure me into the trap.

That’s great, let Sun Song vomit out more first.

"Haha, keep reading. If you want to learn the truth, you can meet me at Ma's Forest Park! Let's go!"

Sun Song laughed out loud and went out.

He did not try to recruit them at the first opportunity. There is a huge difference between recruiting them himself and recruiting them from others.

This is indeed an ancient book. If this person takes the bait, there will be a chance, but I am afraid he has no desire.

Of course, if this kid learns it, it would be really weird.

Sun Song used his Qinggong skills, his figure became ethereal, and he took two steps and floated down the mountain.

A faint singing voice was heard from afar.

"Laojun is truly a deity, preaching the teachings to millions."

"The true Dharma is before our eyes, yet people in the world do not recognize it."

Such an elegant demeanor and such an ethereal spirit stunned Liang Yue.

Shi Quanzi, who was hiding in a corner, came back to his senses after a while and stammered, "Oh my God, this guy is more like a god than you."
