Chapter 12
If you want to talk about karma, you may be heartbroken
Although it was only the first time they met, Wu Erlang was a straight-faced and upright man. This was not difficult to see whether Chao Gai or Wu Yong was in power.
Therefore, no one suspected that he was lying and deceiving what he said. They all thought that this brother said this. It can be seen that the matter at Wuhan University is indeed suspicious. Could it be that there is really a mountain ghost that has transformed into a human form?
Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi and the others were so frightened that they couldn't help but reach out to touch the handle of the knife. They thought that even if they were left here, even if they really entered the demon lair, they would still be chopped into pieces.
Cao Cao was calm and composed. He slowly poured a bowl of wine and drank it. He exhaled the smell of alcohol for a long time and then said slowly: "You heroes and Erlang, do you... believe in the theory of reincarnation?"
Several people looked at each other, and Chao Gai said: "These things are all known to exist, but who knows whether they really exist or not? Mr. Jialiang, you have extensive experience, do you know whether there is reincarnation?"
Wu Yong smacked his lips and said: "Things about ghosts and gods are so vague that even Master refuses to talk about strange powers and confusing gods, because it is difficult to describe the reality. Yuan Jiao of the Tang Dynasty has a volume of "Ganze Ballad", which records many details.
There are few legends and strange things, but Xiaosheng is lucky enough to read them. One of them is a clear proof of reincarnation..."
Wu Yong then told this story: The monk Yuanguan and the young master Li Yuan had a close relationship. They traveled together and passed Qingcheng and Emei. Yuanguan suggested leaving Xiegu to Chang'an, but Li Yuan insisted on going out.
The Three Gorges, a trip to Jingzhou, Yuanguan couldn’t win over his friends, so they went to the Three Gorges together.
When passing Nanpu, he saw several women fetching water from the river. Yuan Guan burst into tears and said that the reason why I didn't want to take this road was because I didn't want to see this woman. Li Yuan was surprised. Yuan Guan explained: "You
Look, there is a pregnant woman over there. Her surname is Wang. I am destined to be her son. Because I have not come, she has not yet given birth for three years. But now that she is here today, this fate cannot be avoided. You will go in three days.
Come and see me at her house. Twelve years later, we will meet again outside Tianzhu Temple in Hangzhou.
After saying that, he passed away, and the woman went home and gave birth to the child. Three days later, Li Yuan went to the woman's home. The newborn baby smiled when he saw Li Yuan, and they recognized each other.
Twelve years later, Li Yuan was invited to go to Yuhang. While wandering outside the Tianzhu Temple, a shepherd boy came riding on a bull and playing a flute. He sang a song. The lyrics were: "The old spirit is on the stone of three lives. Let's not talk about admiring the moon and singing in the wind. I am a ashamed lover."
We visit each other from afar, even though this body is of the opposite sex, it will always exist."
And: "The things before and after are so complicated that it would break my heart to talk about the fate. Wu Yue has traveled all over the mountains and rivers, but he returns to Yanchao and goes to Qutang."
After Wu Yong told the story, everyone cheered: "The person with the good reputation named Li is just one of my generation."
Cao Cao, on the other hand, read the two poems with some obsession, and said with pity: "What a person who has a lot of troubles before and after him. If I want to talk about the cause and fate, I am afraid that my heart will break..." Everyone, I have been in a muddle-headed way in this life. I just sell cooking cakes to keep watch.
I was living a life as a mother-in-law, but I didn’t know that my beauty attracted the attention of a rich man in the county, who wanted to kill me. When I was about to die, I suddenly remembered my past life experience and my temperament in my previous life. My abilities suddenly returned, so I beat the rich man severely.
But this man did not repent, and looked for people who claimed to be Liangshan heroes to kill me, but I killed many of them, and reported him to the government on the pretext of colluding with Liangshan. In one fell swoop, he learned about the rich man's life, and he also gained the title of Dudu."
After hearing this, Wu Yong cheered: "What a good method! It's easy to lift a weight, but I don't know who Brother Wu was in his previous life?" Thinking of this man's nickname Wu Mengde, he had some speculations for a while.
Sure enough, Cao Cao said calmly: "In my previous life, I was born in the last years of the Han Dynasty. First, there were ten ministers who disturbed the imperial court, then there was Taiping Road, which brought trouble to the world, and then Dong Zhuo from Xiliang took over power... I wanted to save the world, so I spent all my property to recruit troops and support.
The Han Dynasty conquered the country and worked hard for decades. Before my death, only Jiangdong and Xishu were not at peace. So, does Mr. Wu know who I was in my previous life?"
The Ruan brothers, Liu Tang and others were listening to heaven's message, but Wu Yong was inexplicably shocked and said in a trembling voice: "Wei, Wei Emperor Wu! You are Cao, Cao..."
Suddenly, he felt that it would be rude to call him by his first name. Wu Yong stood up quickly and bowed his head to the ground respectfully: "It's actually Meng Degong in front of me. Young Wu Yong, a scholar with cursive characters, a Taoist name, Mr. Jia Liang, please call me Mr. Meng Degong."
"You are so wise. I have met His Majesty Emperor Wu of Wei. I have offended you many times before. I hope His Majesty will not take offense."
After all, Wu Yong was a scholar, and he had a deep-seated sense of awe for the emperor, even if he was the one who went before and after... the emperor.
Was this Wu Dalang an emperor in his previous life? These days, the story of the Three Kingdoms is not as well-known as it was after the Ming Dynasty, and most of them were rough people. Therefore, after talking for a long time, most people only understood one thing: this guy was actually an emperor in his previous life!
Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaowu and others all grinned widely: "Oh, I didn't expect to be able to drink with the emperor. It was so happy."
Cao Cao waved his hand and smiled and said: "Mr. Jialiang and all the other heroes, there is no need to be too polite. Mr. Jialiang is knowledgeable about the past and the present. You should know that the word "emperor Wu" is rude and arrogant. In my heart, I will always be the King of Wei of the Han Dynasty.
"
Wu Yong cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei is very open-minded, and I have learned a lesson from you."
Everyone was confused and looked at Wu Yong.
Wu Yong could only explain: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Shu and Wu competed for the world. The most powerful among them was Wei, and the founder was the famous hero Cao Cao, Cao Mengde! But Meng Degong himself regarded himself as a Han minister, and he always
He refused to stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty until after his death, the prince's son Cao Pi ascended the throne and named his father Meng Degong Emperor Wu."
"Oh..." Liu Tang and others said in unison, with expressions of unknown severity on their faces.
Only Wu Song remained silent and stared at Cao Cao with a frown: "Then, are you my brother Wu Da or Cao Cao?"
Cao Cao took his hand and said sincerely: "Brother, don't you understand? Wu Da is Cao Cao, Cao Cao is Wu Da, Cao Cao is Wu Da's past life, and Wu Da is Cao Cao's current life. It's just a coincidence.
I think about what happened in my previous life, but the blood relationship between the two of us will never change."
Wu Song felt relieved and said with a smile: "If you put it this way, it is a good thing to get back the memory of the past life. My brother used to be good in everything, but he was too honest and cowardly. He never expected that he was as heroic as Cao Cao.
Come, I no longer have to worry about my brother being bullied by villains."
Chao Gai said: "I have also heard people tell some stories of the Three Kingdoms. How heroic are Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and others? Didn't they die in the hands of Cao Mengde one by one? Liu Bei of Western Shu and Sun Wu of Jiangdong were all heroes.
But we can only survive by forming an alliance. Wu Erlang is worried that others will bully your brother. From my humble opinion, I am afraid that there is no one who can bully your brother in this world."
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
At this time, Pan Jinlian served various meat dishes respectfully, and everyone ate them with great enthusiasm, and everyone was full of praise.
Wu Song thought to himself: "No wonder my sister-in-law has become virtuous. My elder brother Wu can tolerate her violence, but can Cao Cao'an tolerate her?" It's funny when he thinks about it, and he can't help but feel happy. He eats meat with mouthfuls and drinks with bowls of wine, all over his body.
They all showed high spirits.
Liu Tang and others talked while drinking: "Unexpectedly, there are really past lives in this world, but I don't know who we were in our previous lives?"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Although I don't know who you are, I know the previous life of Erlang in my family very well. Alas, it really corresponds to the poem in Mr. Jia Liang's story: If you want to talk about cause and fate, I'm afraid it will break your heart!"
Everyone looked at Cao Cao one after another and saw that although he was smiling, there were tears in his eyes, and they couldn't help but become curious.
