Hearing this, Xiao Tianhuan asked:
"If you have anything to say, just say it. If you can really tell the truth, I might be able to let you live."
Seeing how arrogant Xiao Tianhuan was, Zhang Lingfeng knew that the time had not come yet and said:
"Pindao is very disappointed that the Generalissimo treats guests like this.
Pindao came here to seek fame.
With the attitude of the Generalissimo, even if Pindao helped the Generalissimo, it would be difficult for him to get the fame he wanted.
In this case, Pindao won't say much. "
Xiao Tianhuan was already suffocating because he couldn't break the Yunzhou City's formation.
Zhang Lingfeng, a little Taoist priest, not only held a treasonous banner, but also spoke arrogant words and made false claims.
Xiao Tianhuan's patience had reached its limit, his eyes turned cold, he waved his hand and said coldly:
"Kill without mercy!"
As soon as Xiao Tianhuan finished speaking, dozens of Liao soldiers with swords rushed towards Zhang Lingfeng.
When a lion fights a rabbit, it also requires all your strength.
Although Xiao Tianhuan did not think that Zhang Lingfeng could escape unharmed among thousands of troops, he did not underestimate Zhang Lingfeng.
Zhang Lingfeng must have extraordinary abilities if he dared to break into the military camp alone.
Therefore, Xiao Tianhuan aimed to kill the enemy with one strike.
As for what Zhang Lingfeng wanted to say, Xiao Tianhuan wanted to know.
However, if Zhang Lingfeng could not block the Liao army's attack, what he wanted to say was actually not that important.
Facing the Liao troops rushing from all directions, Zhang Lingfeng calmly took the gourd from his back, blew a breath and said:
"Get bigger."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gourd swelled up in the storm. A gourd that was more than a foot long actually became about a person tall.
Zhang Lingfeng swung the gourd and hit the people who were rushing towards him.
The gourd emits a strange light that seems to shatter everything.
The Liao soldiers who rushed towards Zhang Lingfeng encountered the light emitted by the gourd and were instantly decomposed into powder.
"Wait!"
Xiao Tianhuan was shocked, waved his hand to stop the Liao soldiers who were charging towards Zhang Lingfeng, and said:
"Are you Zhang Lingfeng, Zhang Tianshi, who is sworn to the mythical Xu Xian of Da Chu?"
Xiao Tianhuan heard about Xu Xian, Zhang Lingfeng, and Yue Fei's riot in the capital, and finally understood Zhang Lingfeng's identity when he saw Zhang Lingfeng's gourd.
Hearing this, Zhang Lingfeng cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"It's easy to say! It's easy to say! It's easy to say!"
Xiao Tianhuan rolled his sleeves and said:
"Xu Xian disregarded morality and robbed our Yunzhou. Since you are Xu Xian's sworn brother, do you want to rob Huanzhou?"
Zhang Lingfeng said:
"The Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was originally our territory of Chu. It has been occupied by your Liao Kingdom for nearly two hundred years. It's time to return it."
Xiao Tianhuan laughed and said:
"You said you're going to pay it back? With Da Chu's mythical Xu Xian? Or with you, Zhang Tianshi?"
Zhang Lingfeng said inexplicably:
"The poor Taoist observed the sky at night and saw the purple stars shining brightly, the purple energy gathering in the east, the auspicious clouds gathering, the energy rushing towards the heavenly wolf, the handle of the bucket pointing eastward..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Lingfeng looked at Xiao Tianhuan with a half-smile but did not continue.
Since the Liao Kingdom acquired the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Liao Kingdom has absorbed Han culture and also understood the theory of astrology.
Xiao Tianhuan's position as generalissimo certainly did not rely on the bravery of an ordinary man. Not only was he familiar with military books, but he also dabbled in various knowledge of the Han people.
Xiao Tianhuan had also heard about the mysterious science of astrology and wanted to study it, but it was just too profound and he could never fully understand it.
Zhang Lingfeng actually understood astrology, which made Xiao Tianhuan a little excited.
If you can control Zhang Lingfeng and find a way to obtain the secret of the stars...
Thinking of this, Xiao Tianhuan laughed and said:
"The Heavenly Master is indeed a divine man. If you don't dislike him, Xiao is willing to put aside the grievances between Liao and Han and treat him as a distinguished guest."
Zhang Lingfeng was a little surprised by Xiao Tianhuan's rapid change, but he was not worried about Xiao Tianhuan's conspiracy and said:
"Pindao is here to provide guidance to the Generalissimo. If the Generalissimo can calm down, we really don't need to fight each other."
Xiao Tianhuan had something to ask for, and he lost his initial arrogance and welcomed Zhang Lingfeng into the commander's camp.
Xiao Tianhuan asked:
"Since Zhang Tianshi is my distinguished guest, naturally I cannot wrong Tianshi Zhang. I have prepared Buddha Jumping over the Wall, but I don't know if it is to Tianshi's taste."
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall usually uses abalone, sea cucumbers, fish lips, yak hide glue, king oyster mushrooms, tendons, flower mushrooms, cuttlefish, scallops, quail eggs, etc. to gather together, add stock and old wine, and simmer over a slow fire.
When cooked, it is soft and tender, with a rich meaty aroma, meaty but not greasy, and has a savory taste.
According to legend, Qin Shihuang hosted a banquet for his ministers.
During the dinner, there was a dish called "Fu Shou Quan", which was made from chicken, duck, lamb knuckles, pig trotters, spareribs, pigeon eggs, etc. simmered over slow fire.
Prime Minister Li Si was very satisfied after eating it. After returning home, he ordered chef Zheng Chunfa to imitate the original dish in accordance with the law, reducing the amount of meat and adding a variety of seafood to make the finished dish richer, more delicious and delicious.
Later, Zheng Chunfa left the Prime Minister's Palace and opened a "Sanyouzhai" restaurant.
This dish was served at a banquet held by literati.
The literati applauded after tasting it. Someone wrote an impromptu poem and said: "The altar is opened and the fragrance of meat is floating around. When the Buddha hears it, he abandons his Zen and jumps over the wall."
From then on, this dish was called "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall".
This is the legend about Buddha jumping over the wall in the Piaomiao Realm, which is different from the Three Realms.
Zhang Lingfeng smiled and said:
"When you are polite to others, you must ask for something! The marshal is so polite, even a poor man cannot lose his courtesy.
If the marshal has any requests, please feel free to ask. Pindao will try his best to satisfy the marshal. "
Xiao Tianhuan muttered:
"The theory of astrology has always been illusory. I have dabbled in it before, but I still can't understand it. I would like to ask Tianshi Zhang to give me some advice."
Zhang Lingfeng said:
"The stars are heavenly secrets, which are made visible to us by the way of heaven. We need to understand and sense the way of heaven.
Just like a cultivator, only by sensing the Tao, understanding the Tao, and controlling the Tao can one achieve anything and achieve enlightenment and soar. "
Zhang Lingfeng's words were like an enlightenment, making Xiao Tianhuan suddenly realize and said:
"So that's it. I only thought that the stars were like the art of war. It turned out to be wrong. No wonder I couldn't understand it thoroughly."
Zhang Lingfeng said:
"The art of war also needs to be understood in order to be able to use it flexibly. You cannot memorize the art of war. However, there is still a difference between the two."
Xiao Tianhuan asked:
"What's the difference?"
Zhang Lingfeng said:
"One enters the world, and the other is born. One becomes a high-ranking official, and enjoys glory and wealth. The other attains enlightenment and ascends to heaven, becoming a free and easy god."
Xiao Tianhuan was not fooled by Zhang Lingfeng's mysterious words and said:
"What the Heavenly Master said is too mysterious. I am a layman and do not understand such profound principles. Can the Heavenly Master prove what you said?"
Zhang Lingfeng shook the cloth banner in his hand and said:
"Pindao says that the banner in his hand is an instruction from Heaven. Can the Generalissimo be trusted?"
Xiao Tianhuan said:
"If I say that I don't believe it, can the Heavenly Master prove it?"
Zhang Lingfeng smiled and said:
"There is no need to prove it. The Generalissimo only needs to observe the sky at midnight tonight, and he will naturally see it."
Xiao Tianhuan also tried to observe the sky. He either saw a sky full of stars or a sky full of dark clouds. He did not see any patterns or the secrets of heaven.
If under Zhang Lingfeng's guidance, he could get a glimpse of the secrets, it would be like opening the door to a new world. That was what Xiao Tianhuan dreamed of.
Xiao Tianhuan said with great joy:
"I don't understand. I will need Master Zhang's guidance when the time comes."
Zhang Lingfeng laughed and said:
"You should be rewarded for eating the Grand Marshal's Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. I must let the Grand Marshal see the secret."
