Chapter 713 Zuo Ci's Warning
"What's the sound?" Ma Qiang looked at the snow scene outside, his mind full of question marks.
Isn’t this thing crane... going to fly south?
"Ming Gong, many white cranes suddenly appeared in the sky." A sergeant came in to report.
"Congratulations to Mr. Ming, the cranes are coming to the auspicious clouds. This is a good omen!" Xu You started to slap the rainbow farts, which made Ma Qiang understand why Yuan Shao likes him so much.
"This season... go out and take a look." Ma Qiang took the lead to walk outside the hall and saw a group of white cranes wandering in the sky, looking very fairy-like in the snow.
"Don't ride a ride or a boat, you can travel around the world; the world will arrive in a moment, and the stones and pine trees will be withered in autumn!"
Suddenly, a song sounded, and everyone looked at it and saw a man walking towards everyone in the air more than ten meters high. As the man waved, the white crane began to fly around him, looking very strange.
...How come this ghost scene is so familiar?
Ma Qiang opened his mouth slightly and watched the performance of the old god (the charlatan) in front of him.
Not to mention, it looks pretty good.
"Arrowman is ready!" Ma Qiang waved his hand, and several teams of archers quickly came to Ma Qiang and began to draw bows and draw arrows at the old Taoist.
Regardless of whether you are a god or not, you will catch me with a rapid shot first!
If you can catch it, I will call the musketeers again!
You can still handle it... I will ask if the script has been changed to the Romance of the Gods.
The Taoist saw hundreds of arrows emitting cold light, and a few drops of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
Isn’t it said that Ma Zhengbei’s favorite is Gan Shi, the Qi training man in the Real Estate? Even if he sees that he doesn’t accept his head, he shouldn’t have such a reaction, right?
Could it be that Gan Shi, the one who was killed by a thousand swords, said something that made Ma Zhengbei shoot the Taoist priest who saw Feitian and shoot it with an arrow to verify it?
Is this too much damage?
The old Taoist smiled awkwardly, took a few quick steps, then jumped down and came opposite Ma Qiang and others.
Not to mention, this light skills are real kung fu.
"I have seen the general!"
Black Horn?
Ma Qiang looked at the Taoist carefully and found that one of his eyes was obviously stagnant. He immediately thought of someone and asked, "Are you Zuo Ci?"
"It's me!" Zuo Ci bowed to Ma Qiang.
Zuo Ci, the Taoist name Mr. Wujiao, is one of the four great immortals who are as famous as Nanhua Laoxian, Master Zixu, and Yu Ji in the works of Lao Luo. However, if it is really recorded in history, it is Zuo Ci and Yu Ji.
Ma Qiang knew that Yu Ji was spreading Taiping Road in the south, and Zuo Ci had always been inconsistent, so he didn't expect to appear here.
Ma Qiang looked at Zuo Ci and recalled how this old Taoist teased Cao Cao in Lao Luo's works, and he was full of fear.
If this guy dares to tease himself, he will kill him. Anyway, there is no need for any gods in this world.
"Mr. Wujiao is not practicing in the mountains, so why is it expensive to come here?"
Zuo Ci felt that Ma Qiang was very afraid of him, and couldn't help but wonder. He didn't seem to have done anything, just to make you believe that you brought the white crane out and took a walk around.
"I watched the celestial phenomena at night and saw Taibai bringing the sky to the capital, and there would be great trouble in the world, so I came."
Taibai is Venus, and Tiandu is a constellation among the seven stars in the south. Since Tiandu refers to the imperial capital, it was given important significance by the ancients.
Ma Qiang didn't believe in this kind of astrology at all. He didn't say anything else. Do you still remember the planetary cross on August 18, 1999? Many Westerners were afraid of suicide. The result... Isn't it all right?
"What a big disaster?"
"Taibai is in Tiandu, and the drought is bad every year. From next year, I am afraid that the world will continue to suffer severe droughts and the grains will be lost. It will become a common thing for people to change their children and eat them."
The grains are gone? Change the seeds and eat them?
Kou Xian and his friends couldn't help but feel nervous when they heard this. Once the drought really hit the point where the grains were completely harvested, it would be no more than just one or two people to die.
But Ma Qiang fell into memories.
It was about to be the fourth year of Chuping. The Battle of Xuzhou in history should have only broke out next year. There has always been a saying in later generations that during the Battle of Xuzhou, Yanzhou was already short of food, which led to Cao Cao's looting in Xuzhou.
I don’t know if this Ma Qiang is true or false, but Ma Qiang remembers that one year, because of the shortage of food, the two armies had to stop their troops and go home to farm.
Judging from these records in later generations, the climate in the world will be even worse in the next few years, so bad that even Cao Cao and Lu Bu have to take a hoe to farm.
Moreover, Ma Qiang vaguely remembered that the reason why Liu Xie from Chang'an returned to Luoyang later was because Chang'an had a very shortage of food, and he, the emperor, could hardly even eat.
In this way, the scope of this natural disaster will be from Chang'an to Yanzhou and even to Xuzhou... Isn't this the entire Central Plains?
Damn! You have to prepare for drought resistance again!
Ma Qiang's heart was filled with ten thousand grass and mud horses. When playing games in later generations, natural disasters generally affected a city, but in reality, natural disasters affected the entire world.
Ma Qiang's memory is indeed correct. In fact, from the fourth year of Chuping, the whole world seemed to have entered a drought mode, and such a drought mode will last for a full three years until the second year of Xingping, which is 195 AD.
At the worst time of this drought, Lu Bu sneaked into Cao Cao, and all the soldiers of Cao's army went to do farm work, forcing Cao Cao to bring a bunch of women's army to play psychological warfare. That is, Lu Bu suffered several losses before and did not dare to go forward, otherwise Cao Cao could take a bunch of women's army to the underground to try to kill thousands of people.
Because the Heishan Army in Hebei had no food, it even made great achievements in taking advantage of Yuan Shao's out to capture Yecheng. It is conceivable how his eyes were red when the Heishan Army was hungry at that time.
"Mr. Wujiao, thank you for your warning. Do you know what reward you need?"
Since he knew that the next three years will be a drought year, Ma Qiang knew the development of the Northern Army in the next three years. Whether Zuo Ci was a true god or a true sage, he was considered to be kind to the Northern Army.
"I heard that the general has obtained the Taiping Sutra and Taiqing Sutra, but I wonder if I can borrow it?"
Come to borrow books?
Ma Qiang blinked and probably understood that the Taiping Taoist of Zuo Ci and Zhang Jiao belonged to two factions of Taoism.
This is true. Zuo Ci was from the Jindan School and later preached Ge Xuan. Although he was seeking immortality, he was completely different from Taiping Taoism.
This is also the reason why Cao Cao and his son recruited him in history. If it were Taiping Road, Cao Cao would have drawn his sword long ago.
"These two books are not mine, and they are not mine... So, sir can stay here temporarily. After I return to Guangzong, I can try to lend it for you, but if the owner of the book is unwilling to borrow it, I can't do anything about it."
Both books are in Zhang Ning, and they are considered heirlooms passed down by Zhang Jiao to her, and Ma Qiang is unwilling to force his apprentice.
