It is said that in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and there was such a saying among the people: "Huangchao Huangchao, killing people without blinking, blood flowed like a river." When these words spread to the underworld, when Lord Yama heard it, his brows furrowed like a bun, and his heart went up and down. He pondered: "If this kid Huang Chao is really reversed, won't the world be chaotic?" I have to work with it. Lord Yama slapped his thigh and decided to send someone to the world to find out, to see if he could think of a trick to change this life and let a few innocent souls suffer less.
So, he called his most clever imp - Li Ergou. Don't look at this Li Ergou's name, in fact, he is a goblin and goblin, stealing chickens and touching dogs, and going to the house to expose the van is to be caught, the key is to be strict and reliable. Lord Yama whispered: "Ergou, you hurry up to the world, see what kind of person Huang Chao is, and then see if you can do something from him, don't let that bloody tragedy happen." Lord Yan's eyes were full of seriousness, and Li Ergou beat a drum in his heart: "This job is not simple, that kid from Huangchao will be the master who can stir up the storm in the future, what do I have to do?" But he still promised happily: "Okay, Lord Yama, you can take a look!" ”
Li Ergou turned into a puff of green smoke, and with a whoosh, he arrived in the world, and went straight to the place where the Yellow Nest might appear. After inquiring, I learned that although Huang Chao's family was poor, he was both civil and military, and had great ambitions. What's even more coincidental is that Huang Chao's family has been worrying about lighting the lamp and boiling oil recently, and the family is so poor that they can't even afford the lamp oil. Li Ergou's eyes lit up, and he had an idea in his heart: "Hey, why don't I steal some lamp oil for him, not only help him, but also take the opportunity to approach him and see if I can change his life by the way." ”
In the dead of night, Li Ergou quietly touched into the backyard of Huang Chao's house, only to see a faint light shining from a dilapidated thatched hut, which seemed to tell Huang Chao's difficulty and determination. He crept over and peeked in through the crack in the window, where the boy from the Yellow Nest was reading hard in the dim light, his brows furrowed like a bun, and it seemed that he had encountered some kind of problem. "This kid really has the potential to be a nerd." Li Ergou secretly applauded in his heart, waved his hand, cast a little spell, and quietly "borrowed" the pot of lamp oil from the oil tank of the old Wang's house in the east of the village, and rested it lightly on the windowsill, and did not forget to leave a note: "Don't worry, scholar, the lamp oil is prepared for you, study hard and practice hard, and you will be able to achieve great things in the future." Early the next morning, Huang Chao woke up and saw the lamp oil and notes on the windowsill, and his heart was surprised and delighted, and his determination was even more determined, to study hard and change his fate. All this, Li Ergou hid in the corner, saw it clearly, and said a smug feeling in his heart: "It's okay now, I helped people, and it can be regarded as an indirect change of life, and Lord Yama can also explain it." However, the world is unpredictable, just as Li Ergou was about to return to the underworld to resume his life, he suddenly realized a question: "Can I really avoid the tragedy of the river of blood if I do this?" If Huang Chao really becomes a big tool, can it be changed when he says it? Thinking of this, the worry in Li Ergou's heart came up, and he decided to probe again to see if he could find a more reliable way. So, he turned into a gust of wind and continued to wander the world, looking for clues that might change the course of history...... (To be continued)
Li Ergou wandered in the world for several days, watching Huang Chao grow day by day, the worry in his heart not only did not reduce, but became heavier and heavier. He pondered, just by stealing some oil, how could he really change his destiny? We have to find a way to solve the problem at the root. That night, Li Ergou slipped under the old locust tree at the head of the village, the tree was old, the trunk was as thick as something, the branches and leaves were dense, and the people in the village said that it was a sacred tree, which could pass ghosts and gods. The second dog circled around the tree a few times, thinking in his heart: "They all say that this tree spirit, why don't I ask it to see if there is any way to save this world?" Just do it, Li Ergou sat on the ground, crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and said something in his mouth: "Grandpa Huaishu, Grandpa Huaishu, your old man is well-informed, give me a clear way, how can I not let the Huangchao rebellion make a river of blood?" As soon as he finished speaking, a cool breeze blew, and the leaves of the old locust tree rattled, as if in response to him. Li Ergou rolled up from the kang with a bone, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he saw the shadows of the trees outside the window swaying like dancing, and there seemed to be a shadowy guy hidden inside. He was panicked in his heart, but he still shouted hard: "Old fairy, what advice do you have?" "Hmph, you little rabbit, you're pretty good at getting into trouble." The voice was like thunder, so low that it could make people's hearts tremble, "The matter of Huangchao is not something that we mortals can manipulate casually. But if you really want to try, go to the book of life and death, and maybe you can turn it out for some kind of success. "The Book of Life and Death? Isn't that the baby bump of Lord Yama? How dare I move! Li Ergou was so frightened that he almost didn't jump. Hmph, don't bother me if you don't have the guts. Remember, destiny is indisobedient and people's hearts are unpredictable. If you really have that heart, try it. As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow dissipated like smoke, leaving only the sound of the wind and the rustle of leaves.
Li Ergou stood there, didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and his heart was full of thoughts. Grandpa Locust Tree's words, believe it or not? But after pondering, for the sake of those innocent lives, he gritted his teeth and decided to let go. Back in the underworld, taking advantage of the dark night and high wind, he quietly touched into the palace of Hades. The book of life and death is there, shining with golden light, and it is awe-inspiring to look at. Li Ergou's palms were sweating, and his heart was about to jump out, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, pounced on it, held the book of life and death in his arms, turned around and ran.
"What a boldness, dare to steal the book of life and death!" Hades' roar shook the underworld. The little ghosts chased after them like bees, and Li Ergou was scurrying around in the hall, like a headless fly. "Ergou, Ergou, why are you suffering?" Hades's voice rang in his ears, with a little helplessness and a sigh. "Lord Hades, I... I just wanted to try and see if I could save those innocent people. Li Ergou shouted while running, and his voice was crying.
In the end, Li Ergou relied on his familiarity with the underworld to escape from the Hades Palace and ran all the way to the world. He found a remote cave, carefully opened the book of life and death, and rummaged through the pages. "Yellow Nest... Huang Chao—" He muttered words in his mouth, his eyes fixed on the dense name. Suddenly, his gaze was fixed on a name, and next to it was written "Died on the battlefield, blood flowed like a river". Li Ergou's heart sank, he knew that this was the key he was looking for. He gritted his teeth, grabbed the charcoal pen next to him, and was about to change it, but hesitated again. If this pen continues, it will be earth-shaking, and the consequences are unpredictable! "Ergou, you have to figure it out." A soft voice sounded in his ears, familiar and unfamiliar, like a call from his heart. "Who? Who's talking there? "As soon as Li Ergou raised his head and looked around, there was no one." It's me, Grandpa Locust Tree. The voice came again, "Only when people are good can they change their fate." If you really want to make this world less fighting, you have to start from the roots, and you can't just rely on that book of life and death. Li Ergou patted his head, he forgot about this stubble, people's hearts are the most powerful power. He decided to use his own way to influence Huang Chao and guide him to a more peaceful path. So, Li Ergou turned into a wisp of green smoke again and floated back to Huang Chao's side. He no longer just secretly delivered oil, but began to secretly help Huang Chao solve problems, guiding him to make good friends and learn the principles of governing the country. Huang Chao slowly discovers that whenever he encounters difficulties, there is always a mysterious force that secretly helps him. Although he didn't know who it was, the feeling of gratitude and awe came spontaneously. In a flash, Huang Chao grew up, and with his intelligence and courage, he became a hero of the party. But he did not choose to conquer the world by force, but used wisdom and benevolence to move people's hearts and resolve contradictions. Wherever his army goes, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people's will is desired. As for Li Ergou? He had already retired and returned to the underworld. Hades looked at him, his eyes full of appreciation: "Ergou, Ergou, you have made a great contribution this time!" Li Ergou smiled and scratched his head: "It's all Grandpa Huaishu's good guidance." "Oh?"
