There was a lot of noise on the deck again. This time, it was Tan Mingming who was pushed to Gao Yang's room reluctantly and said: "My lord, you'd better go out and have a look." Although Gao Yang was in the cabin, he already knew roughly what happened on the deck, so he followed suit casually. Following Tan Mingming came to the deck. The cause of the incident was the corpse rescued by Mei Yuan and others. To be precise, it is not actually a corpse for the time being, because it is still a living person, an old man in his sixties or seventies. Although the old man was rescued, he showed no gratitude. Instead, he angrily scolded Mei Yuan and others for being ungrateful and spoiling his important mission of burying himself in the sea and piously seeking the truth. After that, he was about to throw himself into the sea again. Liu Yan grabbed the old man, and the old man began to cry, fuss, kick and bite, and scolded everyone in the boat. Mei Yuan, Yang Xu and others, who could not stand this idleness, deliberately threw the old man back into the sea to feed the fish, but at the same time, someone stepped forward to stop him. The crowd was divided into two groups, each with its own reasons. Knowing that there was no way to continue the stalemate, they pushed Tan Mingming out. Tan Mingming is the chief manager of Gaozhuo Mansion. He has a high prestige in the eyes of Liu Yan, Yang Xu, Mei Yuan and others. Originally, he can make decisions with his words, and others will no longer have any objections. But Tan Mingming didn't mention a word and left the question to Gao Yang. Gao Yang came to the deck and saw that although the old man was soaked all over, he had a hot temper and wild eyes, as if everyone had killed his whole family, and looked at Liu Yan and others with vicious eyes. When everyone saw Gao Yang coming forward, they all became quiet and all exited the road. When the old man saw Gao Yang's extraordinary momentum and everyone looked at Gao Yang with awe in his eyes, he knew that Gao Yang was the one who made the decision, so he shouted to Gao Yang: "Let me go quickly and let me go back to the sea, otherwise I will Fight with you." Gao Yang calmly sat down in front of the old man and said with a smile, "Okay, but you have to answer a few questions first." The old man said impatiently, "I know what you want to ask. Tell the truth. Come on, I am not seeking death, but I am sacrificing my life. The fish in the sea here are crying for food. They have not had food for a long time. If I sacrifice myself to feed them, I can become an immortal. You must not do this. Come and hinder me. If you meddle in your own business, you will die!" The old man spoke with some slurred speech. It must be that the "Taiping" copper coins he spat out before were put into his mouth again. He said it in a serious way, and everyone felt that this person was both irritating and pitiful. If attaining enlightenment and becoming an immortal was such a simple thing, then everyone would commit suicide, so why bother to practice hard? But this person was in a clear state of mind, and he didn't seem to be crazy or talking nonsense, so he couldn't help but feel curious. Gao Yang smiled and said: "You mean, as long as you feed them, you can become an immortal?" The old man obviously did not want to explain more, curled his lips and said: "That's right." Gao Yang ordered people He brought a large amount of food and poured it into the sea. All the nearby sea fish gathered over and ate away one by one. Gao Yang spread his hands and looked at the old man, naturally meaning, I fed them, but why didn¡¯t I become an immortal? The old man was angry and said: "How can it be as simple as you? You still need to hold the Taiping Coin in your mouth and recite the Taiping Mantra in your heart!" At this time, his desire to die was already weak, probably because he saw General Gao Yang When the fish in the sea are fed, even if he throws himself into the sea again, no fish will come to eat him for a while. Gao Yang pretended to be innocent and said: "Then what should we do now?" The old man said angrily: "I can't explain it to you ordinary people. Now I am hungry. Do you have anything to eat here?" Gao Yang asked The old man was not polite when he asked for good wine and delicious food. With a shake of his body, all the sea water that was originally on his body evaporated. Only then did everyone realize that this old man seemed to be very talkative, but he was very strong, and at least had the strength of the first level of Tianpin. It was no wonder that he had been "floating corpse" for a long time, but he was not dead. The old man put the "Peace Coin" aside respectfully, and murmured something plausibly. Then he began to eat and drink arrogantly, like a wolf and a tiger. When he was full, he put the Taiping Coin in his mouth again. , and then he fell asleep on the deck. Seeing that the old man had calmed down, Gao Yang ignored him and called Tan Mingming back to his room. Gao Yang said: "You asked me to go out because that person belongs to the Taiping Sect, right? You want me to see the Taiping Sect?" Regarding the Taiping Sect, Gao Yang had actually heard about it when he was in the Shangqing Sect. . The Taiping Sect advocates Changyi and calls himself "Tai Shang Immortal Master". This person created the "Taiping Sect" by himself. He believes in the Tao of Huang and Lao, promotes Taoism, and spreads grace. He has a high prestige among the people, even under Sima Chengzhen. superior. It is said that Zhang Changyi is the reincarnation of Daluo Jinxian.?The magic power is boundless, and he came to the world to save people from suffering. However, the Taoist Tang Dynasty did not accept Zhang Changyi's tactics and denounced it as an evil way. A few years ago, when the eight great kingdoms of the Central Plains were at war, Changyi became extremely active and took advantage of the situation to rise, with hundreds of thousands of vassals. Emperor Yongwen organized several large-scale battles in an attempt to annihilate the Taiping Religion. However, instead of wiping out the Taiping Religion, it became increasingly violent. However, the Taiping Sect had been operating in the Dongdu and Beidu areas of the Tang Dynasty before, and had not yet spread to Wushan, Mohai. But I didn't expect that when I came to Wushan this time, I would encounter Taiping believers, and they would appear in a suicidal and fanatical state. It was obvious that they had been deeply poisoned. Tan Mingming nodded slightly and said: "I didn't expect that the Taiping Sect has developed so rapidly that even Wushan Ji has been involved. How about we use this Taiping Sect to do something, what do you think?" Gao Yang knew that Tan Mingming had some calculations in his mind. He quickly asked for advice, "How to use it?" Tan Mingming smiled slyly and said, "My lord, do you still remember the eighteen cities that were destroyed by butterfly thorns?" Although Gao Yang was tight-lipped about Fairy Dielian's life experience, he did not hide it. Tan Lighting. This is not only because Tan Mingming is an absolutely trustworthy person, but also many matters in Gaozhuo Mansion require Tan Mingming to make suggestions and rely on this person to preside over. Gao Yang laughed at this and said: "How could you forget such a shocking scene?" Tan Mingming said: "Let's reveal this news to the Taiping Sect. Zhang Changyi will definitely seize the opportunity and make a big fuss." Gao Yang made a point. He revealed it and said: "I should make Emperor Yongwen feel uncomfortable. I will do as you say." Several days have passed since the city was destroyed by Butterfly Thorn, but the news was not revealed at all. If it weren't for Gao Yang Having identified Princess Dielian's identity earlier and knowing that those eighteen butterflies were extraordinary, he even suspected that the situation he met in the "Crystal Sphere" that day was just some kind of fantasy. Although it is quite difficult to block something so shocking that could shake the world, it is not impossible for the Tang Dynasty, which has a deep foundation of Taoism. For example, regarding the transmission of letter talismans, the Tang Dynasty of Taoism had a "supervision barrier" in every major region and city, with the position of "supervisory envoy", who was responsible for all means of communication including letter talismans, and for It screens, filters, and even blocks all communications. This is like an upgraded version of the "Airflow Formation" that Yang Xu previously deployed in Gaozhuo Mansion. Although the workload is huge, it is related to the safety of the imperial court. Naturally, the use and content of the talisman must be strictly controlled and cannot be ignored. However, in the area of ??Mohai Wushan, the monitoring power of the Taoist Tang Dynasty is relatively weak. This is because Mohai Wushan is only nominally under the control of the Taoist Tang Dynasty. Longxiang City, Heishui Kingdom, Shangqing Sect, and Zhengyi The four major forces in the palace each have their own support, and the letters and talismans are flowing all over the sky, and there is no way to restrain or control them. ********************* In the evening, the clipper sailed to a small island with smoke and bustling people. Dozens of ivory flags were planted on the island and fluttered in the wind. People will know "Ivory Island" at a glance. It is the base camp of "Brother Tiger" in Wushanji. There was already a large group of people waiting eagerly on the shore. When they saw Gao Yang and others arriving, they immediately welcomed Gao Yang and others into the island with great enthusiasm and loud gongs and drums. There are no decent manors on the island, but rafts and boats can be seen everywhere. Only at the highest point of the terrain is a simple stronghold that can accommodate thousands of people. It seems not very strong. Just a huge sea breeze can uproot the stronghold. Gao Yang knew that these islands could be submerged by sea water at any time, so he was not surprised to see such a style and atmosphere. That night, Brother Hu warmly greeted everyone in Gaozhuo Mansion. Compared to how it looked three years ago, Brother Tiger's elephant head looks a lot different. The nose, tusks, and ears have all become smaller, and it has gradually taken on the appearance of a human face. However, his figure is still tall and tall, and his personality is heroic and generous, but these things have not changed at all. After nightfall, Brother Hu pulled Gao Yang aside, suddenly knelt down, and said solemnly: "Brother Gao Yang, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness, please accept me, Song Hu, to pay my respects!" Gao Yang was quite impressed by Brother Hu's actions at first. It was strange, but when I heard Brother Hu calling himself Song Hu, I understood most of it immediately. I couldn't help but be ecstatic and said, "Are you Song Hu? Sister Xiang's brother-in-law Song Hu?" He helped Song Hu up, but he was suspicious again. Said: "Sister Xiang has worked very hard to find you. Why haven't you come to Gaozhuo's house to see her these years?" Song Hu felt sour in his heart, and said with tears: "The erysipelas on my body has not been completely eliminated. This picture is inhumane." How can I see her if I don¡¯t look like a ghost?¡± Gao Yang said with emotion, ¡°How could Sister Xiang care about this?¡± Song Hu said, ¡°But I do!¡±; Gao Yang looked at Song Hu as if he had some understanding, his eyes were bright and bright, and he suddenly said in a deep voice: "Sister Xiang is getting married!" Song Hu's face changed drastically, and he grabbed Gao Yang's shoulders emotionally and said, "What do you mean? What?" Then he saw the smile gradually forming on Gao Yang's lips, and then he realized that he had been tricked by Gao Yang. He said with a straight face, "If you continue to joke around, be careful and I will kick you off the island." Gao Yang did not. After paying attention, he waved his hand, laughed and turned to leave.
