"Be polite and don't disturb the Taoist priest."
A rich and powerful middle-aged man's voice sounded.
"Yes, Master"
A weak young man's voice responded.
Then, there was a very light knock on the door.
Cao Yi, who had been waiting under the newly restored jujube tree for a long time, said calmly: "The door is not closed."
The door of the Taoist temple was gently pushed open, and a man and a woman walked in, both wearing military uniforms.
The man is about forty years old, tall and thick-shouldered, with a warm smile on his dark face. Needless to say, it was General Yang.
The woman is in her early thirties, only a little shorter than the man. She looks good, but unfortunately the scars on her face ruin her appearance, making her look a little more ferocious. It should be the female adjutant who died with General Yang at the end of the movie.
"Don't let anyone near here"
General Yang turned around and gave an order.
"yes"
There was a neat response from outside.
General Yang nodded, turned back, looked at Cao Yi, leaned forward slightly with his straight body, and said politely: "Hello, Director Cao, I am Yang Huting, commander of the 17th Allied Division. Please don't blame me for visiting without permission."
Coalition forces? Where did the coalition forces come from at this time? Has the history of this world changed?
Cao Yi was confused and said with a smile: "It turns out to be General Yang."
After saying that, he pointed to the stone table and bench on one side: "General Yang, please sit down."
Yang Huting walked over, and the distance between each step was exactly the same.
Apparently developed through a long military career.
After everyone took their seats.
Cao Yi asked calmly: "I wonder what General Yang has to do with Pindao?"
Yang Huting did not answer, and his searching eyes swept around the Taoist temple.
Cao Yi saw this and said: "There is only Pindao in the temple."
Yang Huting turned his gaze to Cao Yi's face, looked at it for a long time, and then said: "I have a very important matter. I was originally looking for Taoist priest Ge from Louguantai Taoist Temple. He recommended you to me and said that you More suitable than him.”
"What's important?"
Cao Yi asked calmly.
Yang Huting tapped his thick fingers on the clean stone table a few times and then stopped and asked tentatively: "What does the Taoist priest think of the general trend of the world?"
I've been confused by your word 'coalition forces', what do you think?
After Cao Yi said something in his mind, he gave a stylized reply: "Pindao is a monk and doesn't care about Taoist temple affairs."
Yang Huting had an expected expression.
Then, he put on a sad expression: "Now everyone knows that the Soviet Union and the United States want to carve up our country. There are countless people with lofty ideals who are running away. As a member of China, how can we stay out of it?"
"Just talk about the past Anti-Japanese War. I don't know how many Taoist priests and monks shed their lives and blood for the country..."
Looking at Yang Huting who looked like he was holding a military mobilization meeting, Cao Yi didn't know what to say.
Five minutes passed and Yang Huting continued to talk.
Cao Yi interrupted: "General Yang, tell me what you have to say."
Yang Huting stopped and was about to say what he meant when he suddenly coughed violently.
"Pindao, let me make you a cup of tea."
Cao Yi got up and entered the kitchen.
The female adjutant standing nearby bent over Yang Huting's ear and lowered her voice and said, "Master, this Taoist priest is too young. He is very capable. I'm afraid he won't be able to help much if he goes there."
Yang Huting glanced at the kitchen and said uncertainly: "The person recommended by Taoist Master Ge shouldn't be too bad."
The female adjutant continued to say in a very low voice: "How about I try him later?"
"Don't act rashly without my instructions."
Yang Huting warned in a low voice.
After the female adjutant said 'yes', she asked, "Do we still want to give him the things we brought?"
"Here, go get it"
Yang Huting said very simply.
The female adjutant stood up straight, saluted, and walked out with the exact same steps as Yang Huting just now.
Less than a minute.
Cao Yi came back, holding a small wooden board with three ceramic cups on it.
Give one cup to Yang Huting and one cup to yourself.
The other cup was left untouched.
Yang Huting had traveled a long way and talked so much. He was already very thirsty. After saying thank you, he picked up the cup and drank most of it in one gulp without fear of burning it.
After drinking it, I felt something didn't taste right. When I lowered my head, I saw it was peach blossom tea.
The expression is a bit weird.
Cao Yi picked up the cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "The people in the mountains don't have much good things, so we can only make some scented tea to entertain the general."
Yang Huting laughed and said very rudely: "I am a rough man, I can't tell the difference between good and bad. Tea only needs to quench my thirst."
At this time, the female adjutant came in carrying a small suitcase.
Yang Huting pointed to the small suitcase with a smile and said, "This is your gift, please accept it."
"No reward for no merit"
Cao Yi shook his head gently.
Yang Huting put away his smile and said, "To be honest, I came here this time to ask the Taoist priest for help in killing the guards of the First Emperor's Mausoleum."
"Guards of the First Emperor's Mausoleum?"
Cao Yi showed a puzzled expression.
In the original plot, except for Ziyuan and Guo Ming's daughter Guo Lin, there were no powerful guards in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
It is not easy to deal with Guo Lin, the man in front of him who controls an army division.
"This guard of the First Emperor's Mausoleum was assigned by a female alchemist who is said to have mastered the Fountain of Youth to guard the First Emperor and prevent his resurrection. I sent troops several times, but never took advantage."
Yang Huting explained.
As if he remembered something, he clenched his right fist as big as a sandbag, with a hateful expression on his face.
Cao Yi was silent for a while and said, "So, you want to resurrect the First Emperor?"
Yang Huting nodded vigorously, with a look of enthusiasm on his face: "Only under the leadership of His Majesty the First Emperor, China can achieve nirvana and be reborn."
"Now is the age of cannons, tanks, and airplanes. Even if the First Emperor is resurrected, nothing will change."
Cao Yi said deliberately disapprovingly.
Yang Huting smiled disdainfully and said: "As long as His Majesty the First Emperor resurrects all the Qin armies that have been sleeping underground, all artillery, tanks, and airplanes will be nothing more than rubbish."
"Can ancient armies defeat cannons, tanks, and airplanes?"
Cao Yi continued to pretend to be confused.
Yang Huting smiled and said: "Plus immortality."
“It’s natural and no problem”
Cao Yi nodded.
The reason why cannons, tanks, and airplanes dominate this era is because they are powerful at killing people. They cannot kill people, and they are no different from a fire stick.
Yang Huting asked tentatively: "Does the Taoist agree?"
Cao Yi nodded.
Yang Huting winked at the female adjutant.
The latter placed the small suitcase on the ground, opened it, took out a small wooden box, and placed it on the stone table.
"I have worked so hard to find this."
Yang Huting opened the small wooden box as he spoke.
It is a colorful stone with various charms attached to it.
A faint spiritual energy of the five elements floats out from the stone from time to time.
