Chapter 82 Is the Immortal Performing Magic Again?
"You are interesting, really interesting. I have a volume of military strategy. Would you like to learn it?"
At this time, on a stone bridge in Pei County, there was an old man in a yellow robe. He looked at Zhang Liang who helped him pick up his shoes from under the bridge, and couldn't help but laughed.
Similar to Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu and others, Zhang Liang also hid in Pei County.
However, he had already secretly asked someone to purchase a villa in the countryside, so it was not too close to the county town.
Just now Zhang Liang was walking on the stone bridge and met an old man whose shoe fell into the water. Zhang Liang immediately went down to help him pick it up.
Then the two of them talked for a while. The old man studied them for a few sentences and then said that he had a volume of military book to give to him.
In fact, if we follow the original history.
Zhang Liang hid in Xia Pi to change his identity and met this old man on the bridge over Yishui.
Moreover, this old man's attitude was much worse than before.
In front of Zhang Liang, he deliberately dropped his shoes and asked Zhang Liang to pick them up.
And put them on his feet.
Zhang Liang wanted to beat him, but seeing that he was quite old, he helped him pick up his shoes and put them on.
Later, the old man left with a smile, then suddenly turned back and asked Zhang Liang to wait for him in the morning five days later.
But when Zhang Liang came five days later, he saw that he had already been waiting there, and he left because he disliked Zhang Liang for coming too late.
The second time Zhang Liang arrived even earlier, but the old man still arrived early, scolded Zhang Liang again, and then left.
So, the fourth time, Zhang Liang simply waited at the stone bridge for a whole night. Sure enough, this time he arrived earlier than the old man, and the old man gave him a military book called "Tai Gong's Art of War".
Later, Zhang Liang used this to assist Liu Bang in conquering the world.
The old man who taught Zhang Liang this art of war was Huang Shigong.
He is also known as the Old Man on the Bridge and the Divine Man of Xia Pi. Later generations circulated "The White Book" and "The Three Strategies of Huang Shigong", and he was included in the Taoist pantheon by Taoist priests of later generations. According to legend, he ascended to heaven and became an immortal.
The reason why Zhang Liang later believed in Huang-Lao doctrine and practiced fasting in his later years was obviously because he was greatly influenced by Huang Shigong.
But that's just the original history.
"The boy doesn't want to learn any military tactics!"
Now, Zhang Liang just looked at the old man and shook his head.
After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Huang Shigong, who was stroking his beard, unconsciously exerted force with his hand and immediately pulled out two hairs, causing his eyes to twitch in pain.
"Why is this?"
Huang Shigong couldn't help but ask.
In this age when knowledge is generally expensive, let alone the art of war, this kind of knowledge that can make one a noble or a general, how many people are flocking to it.
If not, in the original history, why didn't Huang Shigong test Zhang Liang many times to tell him to take this military strategy seriously as it was not easy to come by.
"In today's world, the imperial family has been blessed by heaven and has entered the realm of immortality. The world is destined to be peaceful, the chaotic times have ended, and there is no room for the art of war to be used.
Zhang Liang said directly.
According to the people of Pei County, Ying Zheng came into contact with the immortal Ye Yu earlier than Gai Nie, Han Xin and others.
Even at that time, Ye Xianren had not yet become famous and was not known to the public.
Some time ago, Ying Zheng even practiced in Yinxian Peak for a period of time.
Based on these, Ying Zheng and Ye Yu have a past relationship, so even if Ying Zheng's body cannot become an immortal, it should not be difficult for him to live for at least a few more decades.
The longer Ying Zheng practiced, the more difficult it became to assassinate him.
Especially in the recent period, several forces came out in full force and exhausted all their strength, but they still couldn't ambush and kill Ying Zheng, so they really lost the opportunity completely.
Now they are no longer able to organize an assassination of this scale, and even if they did, they would no longer have the favorable timing and location as before.
Therefore, Ying Zheng is likely to continue to hold the imperial power. With Ying Zheng around, the so-called nobles of the six countries have no chance of successfully revolting. After decades of assimilation, what difference will there be between the people of the six countries and the people of the Qin Dynasty?
Even if Ying Zheng died by then, the so-called nobles of the six countries would not be able to make any waves.
Therefore, Zhang Liang understood that the chance of using this military strategy, at least in this lifetime, was almost zero, and there was no need for him to study it hard.
Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Huang Shigong felt as if he was choked by something and felt extremely depressed.
The reason why Huang Shigong appeared here, and not in Xia Pi as in the original history, was naturally because of the immortal Ye Yu.
As the various rumors about Ye Xianren from Yinxian Peak spread throughout the world, people like Huang Shigong who were well versed in Huang-Lao Taoism were naturally extremely interested.
When he arrived at the Hidden Immortal Peak in Pei County, he was indeed shocked. This place was indeed a fairy mountain with all kinds of extraordinary visions.
Not only is there fairy mist lingering all day long, but the mountain is even growing on its own. People are unable to go up the mountain. Once they get close, they are pushed away by a sticky, unstoppable force.
Huang Shigong wanted to ask for advice, but Immortal Ye had already set a rule that only those who successfully practiced the Moon Worship Method could become disciples of Hidden Immortal Peak.
But he has not succeeded yet and cannot get in.
Therefore, he wanted to find someone to inherit his military strategy. When he saw Zhang Liang's extraordinary bearing today, he immediately became interested.
But he never thought that after studying it, he was satisfied, but this young man was not interested in the military strategy he talked about at all.
Huang Shigong did take into account what Zhang Liang said, otherwise he would not have gone through so many historical tests and then to the present. He simply picked up the shoes and began to consider passing them on to him.
In fact, he also felt that the Qin Dynasty had originally had some turbulent undercurrents, but it seemed that things had suddenly changed during this period of time.
And all these changes originated from the appearance of the immortal from Hidden Immortal Peak.
Under the leadership of Ying Zheng, the Qin Dynasty had already destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world. Now he has a connection with the immortals and has learned the cultivation method from them.
This phenomenon made many of the survivors of the six kingdoms feel despair and completely extinguished their ambition to restore their country.
"Well, I'll give you the Art of War. If you like it, read it. Otherwise, put it aside and help me pass it on in the future."
Thinking of this, Huang Shigong became a little excited and took out a scroll from his arms.
Just leave.
Zhang Liang looked at the old man's departing figure and was stunned. When he wanted to say something, when he came to his senses, the old man had disappeared.
At this time, he opened the silk scroll, on which was clearly written "Tai Gong's Art of War". Then he took a quick look and saw that the book was signed by Huang Shi Gong. Suddenly, Zhang Liang understood.
The old man just now was obviously Huang Shigong.
"Buzz!"
Just as Zhang Liang was holding Taigong's Art of War in his hand and his mind was filled with thoughts, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound. Above the sky, two golden lights shot up into the sky, shining brightly and as powerful as a bull.
"Hiss, it's Hidden Immortal Peak, is the immortal performing magic again?"
The place where Zhang Liang lived was not very close to the county seat of Pei County.
However, the villagers who were not far from the Yinxian Peak and were located behind the Yinxian Peak were dazzled when they saw another strange phenomenon appearing at the Yinxian Peak.
Two golden lights shot up into the sky from the Hidden Immortal Peak, appearing dazzling even during the day.
All of a sudden, the people around Pei County looked up and exclaimed in surprise.
"what is this?"
"Two golden lights shot up into the sky. Has anything changed at Hidden Immortal Peak?"
"It seems that there has been no drastic change in the mountain for the time being!"
The people who were closer to the Hidden Immortal Peak were all looking at the two brilliant golden lights, sizing up the Hidden Immortal Peak and talking to each other.
