Chapter II Self-certification(1/2)

Yang Yun raised his head, and at this time the dark clouds dissipated, the bright moon in the sky was in the sky, and the stars appeared.

He can't remember how long it took for him to see such a dazzling starry sky when he looked up.

Yang Yun is an astronomical enthusiast. His biggest hobby after work is to observe stars with astronomical telescopes. His hobby is very alternative, and it also makes him stay single for a few years after graduating from college. His relatives, friends and colleagues all laughed at the telescopes as his girlfriend.

He remembered observing the starry sky before crossing.

"It is said that when the nine-star beads occur, it will cause various supernatural phenomena, but when I am observing the stars, there is no nine-star beads at all. Even if there are seven-star beads and six-star beads, the only time that human civilization has nine-star beads occurred in 1149 AD, that is, the 19th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, not during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. The nine-star beads will only cause changes in the earth's tides, but the tide force of the planet is very small compared to the moon."

Just as he was lost in the sky, a gust of wind suddenly came from behind, and someone suddenly attacked him in the distance.

In the past, Yang Yun would definitely not be able to react, but since he had "superpower", he felt that his ears and eyes were clear, and his sixth sense was much stronger than before, as if every pore in his body could feel everything in the world.

Yang Yun just turned around with a clever turn and avoided the attacking arrows.

The sound of weapons breaking through the air, and two black shadows lifted their swords and slashed at him. At this critical moment, Yang Yun calmed down and controlled the "superpower" that had previously won unexpectedly, controlling the two swords to chop together.

"Hao—"

Sparks are everywhere!

It seemed as if the universe was moving, and neither of the people who were slashing over didn't understand what was going on. His knife actually hit him together. Then the two were shocked by each other's strength and fell to the ground before Yang Yun could take action.

Yang Yun quickly dodged and took five or six steps in a row to confront the attacker.

"Lin Huochang, this turtle son is a little bit pricked, and he seems to be a trainer!"

"This little body dares to be a meticulous work, I think there are some skills!"

While speaking, three strong men wearing leather armor, iron helmets, leather boots, and bows and arrows on their backs, gathered around them together with the two people who were climbing up on the ground.

They raised the knife with a narrow blade, a small cushion, and a long handle, pointing to Yang Yun in the distance.

Yang Yun carefully identified it and saw that the other party was dressed as a soldier in the Tang Dynasty.

This is a government army team with five officers and soldiers. The "New Book of Tang: Military Records" says: "The soldiers have three hundred men as their regiments, and the regiments have lieutenants; fifty men as their regiments, and the team has their steadfasts; ten men as their fire, and the fire has their own strength."

"I am not the Southern Barbarians, I am a commoner of the Tang Dynasty." Surrounded by enemies, Yang Yun was guarding against several people to continue attacking him while defending his identity.

The man known as Lin Huochang pointed at Yang Yun firmly and shouted: "Since he is a commoner, why didn't the barbarian escape when he came?"

Yang Yun was speechless. In that memory that did not belong to him, all the people in the city who had complete hands and feet escaped.

"Lin Huo Chang, look at the ground."

One of the soldiers gave a message to remind him.

Lin Huochang and the remaining companions couldn't help but look at the four barbarians who died of excessive blood loss behind Yang Yun. He had wanted to go forward directly to take Yang Yun down, but at this time he was worried, Lin Huochang frowned and said, "It seems like he was a barbarian!"

Several officers and soldiers clamored: "I caught a living person, and there were four dead people on the ground. The credit from God has come to great success now!"

Then the five officers and soldiers began to look at Yang Yun. At this time, they all realized a problem. If they wanted to get this credit, they had to solve the boy of unknown origin in front of them.

"The person who comes is not good, please be careful and don't leave it here."

Lin Huochang and others were careful, raised their swords to Yang Yun, approaching step by step, and knew that fighting alone might not be the teenager with a strange origin, so they were ready to rush forward.

Seeing that the five officers and soldiers were about to kill people and rob me, Yang Yun immediately shouted: "The Southern Barbarians are coming, and the officers and soldiers in the city do not want to defend the city, but only care about escaping. Now they do not ask why they kill people by randomly. How can you, the foolish people, defend the territory, and how can the people of the Tang Dynasty rely on you to protect you?"

When Yang Yun scolded him, the four young men became even more ashamed and annoyed, but Lin Huo seemed to be touched, and the Tang sword in his hand drooped.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "This person has a conscience and knows how to reflect."

Yang Yun originally wanted to reimburse the evil soldiers like four barbarians, and left Shu to Guanzhong to see the romanticism of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but now he changed his mind.

"Take me to see the county magistrate of this county." Yang Yun shouted.

The magistrate of the Datang County was heavy and specific, covering administration, civil affairs, judicial and public security, economy and finance, account establishment and social management, education and education, etc., and was responsible for defending the territory. When the barbarians came, the people must run away first. Now there are officers and soldiers in Shifang County, which means that the county magistrate, county magistrate, and county magistrate are likely to stay in the rear.

"Hey, you guys are still excited... Brothers, kill him, don't care if he is a barbarian." A soldier said with a fierce face.

Lin Huochang's face was gloomy, and he slapped the man on the forehead, scolding: "Listen to his words, it is probably a raider who has read some skills... Even killing his own people, what is the difference between it and a beast?"

During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, many young people who relied on their martial arts and advocated chivalrous justice traveled around the world, liked to stand up for justice, and were called Rangers by the world.

Although Shu is separated from the outside world by the most majestic and dangerous Qinling Mountains, due to the frequent rebellion of the Southern Barbarians here, many rangers come to Shu to make a name for themselves and gain wealth throughout their lives. If they are lucky, they may not be able to make military achievements and receive rewards from the court. This kind of thing has been very complicated in recent years.

Yang Yun knew that the so-called Ranger was just a group of idle people in the society who were lazy and fond of work. Wang Changling's poem says, "Cicadas sing in the empty mulberry forest, and in August, Xiaoguan Road. When he went out of the frontier and entered the frontier, there were yellow reeds everywhere. He always stayed in the quiet and lived in dust and sand. Don't learn from Rangers, and praise the beauty of purple horses." He is not proud to be a member of Rangers.

Yang Yun said: "I know the situation of the siege of the barbarians... The barbarians will come tomorrow night, and neither of you can escape! The barbarians have blocked the roads around Shifang and took me to meet the county magistrate to organize the resistance to you to have a way out."

"This kid is clearly talking nonsense and killing him!"

The officers and soldiers glared at each other, but no one dared to bully them.

Lin Huochang had some knowledge, frowned, and was skeptical.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Yang Yun's mouth. When he stretched out his hand, a brick on the ruins next to him rose into the air and entered his hand, revealing his clean and neat skills in the air.

Yang Yun used his superpowers in a calm state for the first time, but he was also very skillful.

"ah?"

The officers and soldiers around were all shocked.

Yang Yun said: "If you don't take me to see the county magistrate again, all the people left in this county will become dry bones, and no one will be spared. Do you want to die and live?"

Lin Huo Chang was shocked: "Why are you still standing there? Please ask this knight to the county government and then report to the county magistrate Su."

...

...

The five officers and soldiers were very careful. Lin Huo put his hands on the knife handle, afraid that Yang Yun would do whatever he wanted. The other four walked behind with the barbarian's body, and their eyes remained unchanged from Yang Yun for a moment.

Yang Yun was "invited" to the county yard, and the inside and outside the yard were filled with officers and soldiers.

Yang Yun saw a long queue outside the carriage at the entrance of the yamen. Someone was packing the things in big boxes and small boxes. The people coming and going were in a hurry.

"This is to abandon the city and escape. No wonder the barbarians were as if they had entered a no-man before they attacked the city, and they were swaggering into the city to chase me."

Yang Yun went straight into the court, and two men in official uniforms walked out of the curtain of the back hall.

The round-necked robe and shirts worn by officials in the Tang Dynasty were usually made of fine linen cloth with dark flowers, with collars, sleeves, collars and edges, and a horizontal robe near the knees of the shirt, so it is also called "silhouette shirts". During the Wu Zhou Dynasty, different patterns were embroidered on the robes of officials of different positions, and the civil servants were embroidered with birds, which was quite elegant. The military officers were embroidered with beasts, showing courage.

The two officials in front of him were light green in their official uniforms, which should be the seventh-rank county magistrate, and the other one was light green in their official uniforms. They thought they were the county magistrate, the chief clerk, the county magistrate and other assistant officials.

"Mr. Su County, Hu County Magistrate."

Lin Huo stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

Shifang County is a middle and lower county in Jiannan Road. Based on Yang Yun's understanding of the Tang Dynasty's official system, the county magistrates in Shifang County are from the seventh rank, while the county magistrates are from the ninth rank, and the staff under their jurisdiction are limited, so it is difficult to achieve success when the barbarians invade.

"...Mr. Su County Magistrate, when we arrived, we found him standing there, looking thin, but the brothers couldn't do anything to go up. The four barbarians next to him had just died, and it seemed that he had killed them. He stretched out his hand and sucked the bricks on the ground into his hands. It was very evil, as if he knew some magic."

Lin Huo longed to report the news, with a look of fear on his face, and was obviously impressed by Yang Yun's ability before.

County Magistrate Hu was tall, with a thin face, and a smart and capable face. He looked at Yang Yun and asked, "Who are you? Where did you come from? What's the purpose of coming to Shifang County during the war? I'll tell you honestly, otherwise even if you have three heads and six arms, this county government is not where you want to come and go."

County Magistrate Hu was both stern, but he was polite to say this. Logically speaking, none of the strangers who appeared at this moment were credible and would not ask about Yang Yun's origin at all.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "When you come to a strange era, a strange place, you can't do without a background to support yourself. If you want to live like a human being, you have to give yourself a name... You are said to be an ordinary person, and you are afraid that you can't even get out of the court."

"I'm here to help you fight the thieves!"

Yang Yun said inexplicably to the Magistrate Su County and the Magistrate Hu County.

County Magistrate Su, who had a gauze hat on his head, black leather boots on his feet, and leather belt on his waist, looked at Yang Yun with a very serious look, but he did not speak.

County Magistrate Hu sneered, "I'm so arrogant. I want to pacify the tens of thousands of barbarians outside the city with your own strength? Give him a few chunks of money and let him get out."

Yang Yun sneered: "I teach students of Shan Academy in the city. Since I was a child, I have been a disciple of Wu Zun. This time I am ordered by my master to stay in the city to help you defeat the bandits. The four barbarians died at my hands."

The Sui Dynasty unified the north and south, and the Tang Dynasty was prosperous. Laozi and the Tang Dynasty were both surnamed Li, and Taoism was given special courtesy. Emperor Taizong issued an imperial edict to rank Taoism above Buddhism, and Taoism was the second place to settle Taoism first and then Buddha, so Taoism flourished.

Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty summoned monks and Taoists three times in the third year of Xianqing; in the fifth year, monk Jingtai and Taoist priest Li Rong started a debate over Laozi's transformation of Hu scriptures; in the second and third year of Longshuo, the debate was still unstoppable. The result of these disputes about Buddhism and Taoism, Taoism absorbed Buddhist scriptures and produced various scriptures to fight against Buddhism. Buddhism also absorbed a large number of Taoist doctrines, fabricated scriptures, and fought against each other.

After celebrating Buddhism in Wuzhou, Xuanzong ascended the throne and believed in Taoism. He sent famous Taoists from all over the world to Chang'an, Luoyang and other places to promote Taoism and arts, and held fighting meetings from time to time, which made Taoism popular in the world.

There are even records in history that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Taoist priests learned invisibility.

Therefore, during the Kaiyuan and Tianbao periods, people's learning of Taoism would not be regarded as a monster of cholera dynasty, but was highly praised by the world.

Yang Yun does not think that he is not good at doing things that scammers and speculators dare to do. Others use tricks, but he has real "superpower".

Hearing Yang Yun's words, noises spread everywhere inside and outside the county munition, and everyone whispered.

The thieves were very loud. After the government evacuated the people here, they were about to escape, but a Taoist priest came and said that he wanted to help them fight the thieves. It was incredible.

"quiet."

County Magistrate Su walked back to the back of the desk, picked up Xingmu and patted it hard, and immediately calmed down from the hall.

County Magistrate Su looked up and down, pondered for a moment, and asked, "I have never heard of the name of Wu Zun Zhenren. You said that you killed those barbarians, so why do I believe it?"

Yang Yun said: "I have been learning Taoism with Master for many years. Although I have not learned the magic of overturning the world, I still know some simple skills..."

"Oh? The technique? It's what Lin Huo Chang said before... the air shooting? Why not demonstrate it in public?" County Magistrate Su was very interested in the magic that Yang Yun said.

County Magistrate Hu reminded: "This kid is probably using tricks that are scheming and may not be credible."

County Magistrate Su glanced at County Magistrate Hu and said unhappily: "Does he speak nonsense or is it true? After watching it in person, I will decide. Brother, if I want me to believe you, I will show my real skills!"

Yang Yun became the target of public criticism again, and everyone in the court stared at him.
