    Xiao Yi, now also called "Wuchouzi", the monk has a dharma title, and the Taoist priest naturally also has a Taoist title. After burning incense and praying seriously in front of the statue of Taishang Laojun in the front room, the old Taoist asked the sky for divination and gave Xiao Yi  He took the Taoist name "Wuchouzi", or Wuchou for short.  When he heard his Taoist name, Xiao Yi really wanted to ask the old Taoist, "Do I have a senior brother named Wu Xin, and do I know a witch named Yue Qiluo who can command little paper people?"

    The process of accepting a disciple is very simple. After Xiao Yi recovered from his injury, he began to think about what he should do in the future. The other time-traveling seniors either became emperors or became princes. The last one also had a fortune and many wives and concubines

    "Going into business? Assisting the Ming Dynasty? Or simply boosting your 'king's spirit' and recruiting a bunch of subordinates"

    Unfortunately, before Xiao Yi could figure it out, the old Taoist "Chuchenzi" came over and put a Bagua Hunyuan Taoist robe on him

    "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord! You and my Taoist family are destined"

    Faced with the fate of being forced to become a monk, Xiao Yi began to resist desperately. The process is as follows:

    ¡°Well, Taoist Master, I like to drink wine and eat meat, so I can¡¯t practice Taoism with you

    It doesn¡¯t matter, our Taoist temple cultivates the mind but not the mouth!

    ¡°Well, Taoist Priest, I also want to get married and have children in the future

    It doesn¡¯t matter, our Taoist temple abstains from sexual immorality but not from sexual intercourse.

    Taoist Master, I don¡¯t know how to recite sutras, and I have no desire to follow the Tao

    It doesn¡¯t matter, you don¡¯t need to study the scriptures.

    Taoist priest

    It doesn¡¯t matter¡­¡±

    When Xiao Yi exhausted all excuses and considered whether to rely on his youth and strength to run away;

    Chuchenzi, who was brewing the medicine, took a piece of peach wood that was as long as an arm, held it with his left hand, and slashed it with his right hand. In an instant, the peach wood split into a dozen small branches as thick as chopsticks, and then was cut one by one by the old Taoist.  thrown into the fire

    ??Looking at the old Taoist's intact palm, then at the peach wood turned into firewood, and finally at his two thin legs, Xiao Yi felt that it would be great to be a Taoist priest!  At least there are free work clothes to wear

    The Taoist temple is not big. It is located on a hill shaped like a crouching tiger. In front of it is the front hall dedicated to Taishang Laojun. The clay statue of Laojun has begun to peel off and fade. The antique bronze incense burner on the photo case may be  The most valuable artifact in the entire Taoist temple, the incense burned was made by the Taoist himself. It is said that it is carefully made from sandalwood powder, honey, tiger bones and other raw materials.  Not only can it clear the mind, nourish the mind, help relax the mind, reduce stress, ward off evil spirits and calm the qi, it can also help fall asleep and solve the problem of insomnia

    There are two masters and apprentices living behind the house. There is a small garden not far behind the house, where various vegetables are grown. It is now taken over by Xiao Yi. It is surrounded by a one-meter-high wall made of soil and gravel. The yard  There is actually a chicken coop in the house, with several chickens that feed themselves. On the hillside, Lao Tao has opened two acres of thin fields, which can be regarded as a living ration guarantee for the master and the disciple. In Xiao Yi's view, this place is not so much a place.  The Taoist temple is more like a farmhouse!

    At the foot of the mountain, there is a small town. Lao Dao occasionally goes to the market town to buy some oil, salt, and daily necessities. Sometimes he takes Xiao Yi to the village to perform rituals for people, exorcise evil spirits, pray for blessings, and see a doctor. Lao Dao's medical skills are quite good.  At least Xiao Yi's left arm is completely healed now, except for the scars left by four wolf fangs.  And those four sharp wolf teeth are now turned into necklaces hanging around Xiao Yi's neck

    The black wolf skin is now hanging on the wall of the Taoist temple. Chuchenzi Lao Taoist told him that black giant wolves are extremely rare. The "Shan Hai Jing" says: "The king of wolves has different species, black and white."  , the white wolf howls at the moon, the black wolf swallows the sun, and the black wolf is a heavenly dog!¡±

    As for the giant black wolf that almost killed him, Xiao Yi didn't care whether it could really swallow the sun. In his opinion, regardless of whether it was a black wolf or a white wolf, the one who dared to bite me was not a good wolf

    The spring flowers are blooming and midsummer is coming. Xiao Yi adapts quickly. Perhaps it is because of the time travel. In addition to his eyes and ears becoming sensitive, his memory has also become exceptionally good. He can almost have a photographic memory, and his body has become agile and strong.  stand up.  As I began to adapt to the current life, my parents, my hometown, and Beijing, which used to always appear in my dreams, became less and less frequent. Except for the fact that my hair had not yet fully grown, in other aspects I was already a complete little Taoist priest of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

    On this day, Xiao Yi followed his master down the mountain, saying that he was going to pick up something from the mountain. Both of them were wearing Taoist robes. The old Taoist was also wearing a lotus crown, holding a fly whisk in his hand, and carrying a sword on his back. Yes, it was a sword, made of fine peach wood.  As a Taoist priest, Xiao Yi was forced to carry a 'Zhenwu Tai Chi Yin Yang Peach Wood Sword' on his back. As he walked around, he looked like a magic stick.  Full.

    Standing on the mountain peak and looking into the distance, the wholeThe mountain range is like a crouching tiger. The old Taoist told Xiao Yi, "The place where the Taoist temple is located is called Crouching Tiger Mountain, so the town at the foot of the mountain is called Crouching Tiger Pavilion. There is a big river in the south of the mountain with fast water flowing from west to east.  Come, there are countless creeks gathered along the way, and the one where Xiao Yi was rescued is one of them; when they reach Wohu Mountain, they are blocked by the terrain and turn to the south. After dozens of miles, they turn to the east again, forming a "ji" shape.  .

    Because the river is winding around, it is called the Panlong River. It is said that a long time ago, an expert came here and looked at the terrain and said: The river is like a dragon coiling and the mountain is like a tiger crouching. Noble people will appear in the future. The only flaw is: Qinglong belongs to Muque.  In the west, the white tiger belongs to gold, but in the east, the green dragon is lower, the white tiger is higher, the yin and yang are in chaos, and the person born will probably be a person who is in trouble and kills a lot, which is not a blessing to the world.  Therefore, two small towns were built here to suppress Feng Shui. One is the current Crouching Tiger Pavilion, and the other is the Panlong Pavilion on the south bank of the river in the center of the characters. It is also said that the master is still practicing Feng Shui here.  Set up a 'trapped dragon stake' at the meeting point to suppress the king's energy!

    Although the two pavilions are opposite each other across the river, the situations are quite different. The Crouching Tiger Pavilion in the north is located on a high terrain and cannot be diverted from the river for irrigation, so the land is barren. In addition, Yuyang is located in the northernmost part, and nomadic tribes from the grasslands often come to rob it.  Looting, the people suffered terribly.  The Panlong Pavilion in the south is low-lying and can be easily irrigated by river water. In addition, the land accumulated by the river is extremely fertile, suitable for farming and grazing. It is also surrounded by water on three sides, and there is a wooden bridge built on the water, making it easy to travel. Once the smoke is discovered, it will be demolished immediately.  The wooden bridge, even with thousands of troops and horses, can only sigh at the river.

    Not far from the mountain, we started walking up the official road. The sparse fields on the roadside were planted with millet: millet, also known as millet. This plant is drought-resistant. The earliest wine in China was also brewed from millet. Millet is suitable for growing in the dry and lack of irrigation in the north.  area.  The two acres of ration fields owned by the master and apprentice also grew these things, so Xiao Yi didn't look unfamiliar to them.

    The crops were not growing well, and many places had even turned into wasteland. The old Taoist told him that, on the one hand, the terrain on the east coast was high and it was inconvenient for drinking water irrigation, which caused the land to be drought; on the other hand, four years ago, Ling Emperor Guanghe  In the last years, the Yellow Turbans caused chaos, and a large number of able-bodied people were recruited into the army. After several years of wars, wars, banditry, drought, and forced expropriation by the government, the people survived."

    The Yellow Turban Uprising is basically unknown to future Chinese people, because there are many references to this large-scale peasant uprising in Chinese history in film and television works. It can be said that as long as the Three Kingdoms are mentioned, the Yellow Turban Uprising will inevitably be mentioned.  Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian and other figures all made their fortunes by suppressing the Yellow Turban Army.

    At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the government was corrupt; relatives and eunuchs took power one after another. In addition, land annexation was serious, and the people were in dire straits.  Under such circumstances, Zhang Jiao founded Taiping Dao and won over people's hearts in a religious way. The number of believers spread across the eight states of Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan and Henan, numbering hundreds of thousands.

    In 184 (the year of Jiazi), Zhang Jiao raised troops to fight against the Han with the slogan "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian is here to stand, if you are in Jiazi, the world will be auspicious". Zhang Jiao called himself "General Tiangong", and his younger brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were respectively  "General Di Gong" and "General Ren Gong" revolted in Jizhou in the north.  They burned down government offices, killed officials, and robbed everywhere. Within a month, fighting broke out in seven states and twenty-eight counties across the country. The Yellow Turban army was unstoppable. The world was shaken for a while, and Kyoto was uneasy.

    Seeing how powerful Taiping Road was, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty hurriedly appointed He Jin as the general in March. He led the five battalions of Yulin soldiers to garrison in Duting, arranging weapons and guarding the capital;  Captains were stationed at various Kyoto passes such as Yique, Xianyuan, Xuanmen, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin. At the same time, various localities were ordered to take strict precautions, and each state and county was ordered to train soldiers, organize weapons, and recruit rebels on their own.

    After much effort and exhaustion, the Eastern Han Dynasty finally suppressed the Yellow Turban Army temporarily. However, this uprising can be said to have drained the last bit of vitality from the Eastern Han Dynasty. The population has dropped sharply, and the central government's control over local areas has been reduced.  When the temperature dropped below the freezing point, local nobles and powerful people supported their own troops, which also kicked off the war between various heroes in the Central Plains. Therefore, the Yellow Turban Uprising was the fuse that led to the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

    Walking on the road, Xiao Yi listened to the words of the old Taoist while recalling the development process of history: "After the Yellow Turban Uprising, the heroes came together to dominate one side, and then the situation of the Three Kingdoms was formed. Over the decades, heroes from all walks of life have appeared on the stage of history.  They all appeared on the stage, each showing their magical powers. They used their own life experience, wisdom, bravery, cruelty, and eloquence as capital, used the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers as a chess game, and used countless blood and human lives as bets to put on wonderful performances."

    "A nation without heroes is sad, and a nation with countless heroes is miserable. Although the world is big, it can never accommodate two heroes! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
