How can it be sad to chase fame and fortune, and Rong Ma is very good. The pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info the clouds and flowing water, how comfortable is the white clouds and the dogs.

Human affairs, vicissitudes of life, double monks and Buddhas in front of the scriptures. Looking out the window, the anger in my heart dissipated with the wind.

- Send "Partridge Heaven"

But it was said that everyone looked for the voice, it was the moral master, the famous Yushi, the "Xuanxu Heavenly Master" Situ Changtian. It turned out that Song Jiang and the others were looking for Li Kui here, and the Heavenly Master also followed.

When all the Taoist priests saw the Heavenly Master, they were indignant and came to complain, and the Heavenly Master said: "Wait for Hugh to be noisy, I have my own reason, and I will retreat." The Taoist priests retreated.

Song Jiang saw that it was the Heavenly Master, so he pleaded guiltily and said: "This black and stupid man is Li Kui under Song, and Song Mou has been inconsiderate in discipline and desecrated the holy land. ”

The Celestial Master shook the feather fan lightly and said, "This person is not only innocent, but also meritorious. If he hadn't brought you here, you might not have known about the past and present lives, which is really a coincidence. When the brothers saw that the Heavenly Master said this, they also came to plead with Li Kui.

Song Jiang glared at Li Kui and said: "If you don't look at the face of the Heavenly Master, I will never spare you today, and if you commit it again next time, you will follow the military law." ”

Song Jiang asked Situ Heavenly Master again, "What did Heavenly Master say about this?"

The Heavenly Master continued to Song Jiang and the others: "Can you recognize this big hall in front of you?" Song Jiang and the others saw this, raised their eyes and looked at the temple in front of them, the window lattice was closed, the door was locked, and there was a large plaque with vermilion lacquer gold characters hanging under the eaves, with four big characters on it, "The Palace of the Demon Lord", this palace was even more different from other pavilions, but see:

The five ridges are like a dragon lying down, and the four eaves are like a tiger. The five ridges and six beasts are alive, and the four eaves and eight bells are ringing. A lonely hall, cold and cold. The two wide doors and windows are sad and sad. The vermilion lacquer powder wall is really bright, and the charm cover is still remaining. The gloomy hall once locked the Demon King. The bottomless crypt was once sleepy. I don't know that once the opportunity comes, the stars are heroes.

Song Jiang said: "It's like seeing it in a dream." Lu Junyi and others all felt it and felt familiar.

The Heavenly Master asked Zhao Xue'er to open the big lock on the door, led Song Jiang and these people to the hall, took a torch and shone it, but saw that the hall was bare, there were no objects, only a scumbag in the middle of the place, next to a bluestone slab with a length and width, and a bottomless black hole, everyone didn't know why.

Song Jiang asked the Heavenly Master, "What is this hall for, and how is it so miserable?"

The Heavenly Master said: "This is the place where the stars of Tiangang and Earth are suppressed, and it is the place where your predecessor Fan Tiantiao degraded. Song Jiang and the others were all surprised.

Wu Yong said: "Even if there must be a reason for our suppression here, can the Heavenly Master tell me one or two?"

The Heavenly Master said: "Your predecessor was originally a general who died in the battlefield during the Shang and Zhou Wars, and was named the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Stars and the Seventy-two Earth Evil Stars by Jiang Taigong, and listened to them in the divine realm. ”

Lu Junyi asked, "Then why are we waiting to escape the calamity and be reincarnated as a human?"

The Heavenly Master said: "Just because the Emperor of Heaven has been blessed for three years, the plague is rampant in the country, and the former Taiwei Hong believes in the holy decree to come to this Dragon and Tiger Mountain to invite the Xujing Heavenly Master to go to Tokyo to pray for the plague, but by mistake opened the Demon Hall and released you and others, and it is also time for you to wait for the disaster to be born, stir up this chaotic world, and atone for the sins of the previous life." There is a celestial alien star in your number, but it was Captain Hong who threw a torch into the crypt, which burned his face, and made a red mark, and there was a red mark on his sideburns when he was reincarnated. The dark star first broke through the temple, rose to the sky, and when he was born in the world, he had a green mark on his face. Therefore, each of them is different. The generals were amazed.

Chai Jin said: "I know the past life, I don't know what the end of this life will be? ”

The Celestial Master said, "This is a heavenly opportunity, and it must not be divulged. ”

Song Jiang said: "If it is a heavenly opportunity, I don't dare to ask more, but I am grateful to ask the souls of the Heavenly Master who died for the war in Jiangnan and the fallen generals of my brothers to do a ritual and surpass the bliss." ”

The Celestial Master said, "It's not difficult. The Heavenly Master led Song Jiang and the others out of the Demon Palace, but still let people lock the doors and windows, and returned to the Hall of Forgotten Worries.

From tomorrow, the Heavenly Master invited Fan Rui to practice for seven days and nights, offering sacrifices to the sky with green words, and surpassing the lonely souls and wild ghosts who died because of the soldiers. On the eighth day, Song Jiang and others wanted to say goodbye and return to the army, but Song Jiang asked the Heavenly Master again: "The overall situation in Jiangnan has been decided, I don't know what the fortune of the Great Song Dynasty will be?"

The Heavenly Master said: "Although the rebellion of Fangla has been pacified, there are foreign races rising, and I have a few proverbs to confirm the future. Song Jiang and the others all listened attentively.

That day, the master uttered four proverbs: "After the southern expedition, the northern expedition will be divided into two parts." The four generals will prosper and protect the country, and finally make the same mistakes in the future. The people didn't know why, and they didn't dare to ask deeply, but they just wrote it down secretly.

Song Jiang and the others wanted to do it, and the Heavenly Master called Zhishen and asked, "Is your master Zhou Tong good?"

Zhishen clasped his palms together and replied: "When the younger generation was learning art in Songshan, I often heard the teacher mention the immortal chief, and I can see it today, and it is not in vain to make a trip to the south of the Yangtze River." The little monk hasn't returned to the mountain to visit his teacher for several years, and he doesn't know how his teacher is.

The Heavenly Master called Wu Song forward again and said to the two: "Buddhism and Taoism are originally a family, and you two are both monks, I have something to say, I don't know if you are willing to listen to it?"

Lu Zhishen and Wu Song said in unison: "Immortal Chang and my master are old friends, that is, like my uncle, but there are good words, and I both listen to the teachings. ”

The Heavenly Master said: "It is rare to achieve perfection if the monks kill too much, and Jiangnan is about to be pacified, so it is better to find a wonderful place and cultivate a positive result, wouldn't it be beautiful." ”

Zhishen and Wu Song said: "Thank you for the good words of the Heavenly Master, the two of us have been empowered, and I will keep it in mind." ”

The Heavenly Master also gave Zhu Wu a copy of "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed", and said: "Don't have evil thoughts, and cultivate the Tao well." "Zhu Wu thanked him.

The Heavenly Master said to the people of Song Jiang again: "You and others are all born in the green forest, although you have been recruited and made meritorious deeds, but the previous time to kill officials and seize the city, it is unforgettable, it is better to hide for the rest of your life, so as not to be harmed by traitors when you return to the dynasty." ”

Song Jiang said: "We are doing the way for heaven, based on loyalty and righteousness, although the crime was quite heavy in the past, but now I am serving the country, fighting in all directions, that is, there is no merit, there is also hard work, I do not live up to the court, how can the court bear me? Thank you for the kindness of the heavenly master, there have been many disturbances recently, and I have been deeply taught, Song has said goodbye, and the immortal master takes care." The mountain is long and the road is long, and there will be a period later. ”

The Heavenly Master said: "The old Taoist personally gave the general a ride. He led more than 100 Taoist priests to send Song Jiang and others to the Shanmen archway, and said: "I can't send the old Taoist far away." Zhao Xue'er, a female apprentice, said, "You can send the generals to the bottom of the mountain for the teacher!" The Heavenly Master said goodbye to Song Jiang and the others, and returned to the mountain with the Taoist priests.

Zhao Xue'er respected her master's order, and took Qingfeng and Mingyue's two junior sisters to send Song Jiang and his party to the bottom of the mountain, Xue'er occasionally saw Wu Song's left arm empty, and asked in surprise: "Master Wu, how is the left arm like this?"

Wu Song said: "The two armies fought in front of the battle, and the swords were ruthless, so that they were disabled. ”

Xue'er sighed: "I never thought that things would be different from people in a few years. In a blink of an eye, he made a mockery of the people in Song Jiang and said: "Take care of the righteous people, I wish you all a bright future and great achievements." ”

Song Jiang replied: "There is a labor fairy to send it away." Song Jiang and Zhao Xue'er raised their hands to say goodbye, and took that group of heroes to the barracks, and Zhao Xue'er returned to the mountain with Qingfeng and Mingyue without mentioning it.

Let's say that Song Jiang and everyone returned to the camp, and Yang Xiong then entered the account together. Yang Xiong said to Song Jiang: "It's just the right time for my brother to come back, Tan Jiedu sent people to requisition troops and horses to return to Chuzhou. ”

Song Jiang asked, "What do you know?"

Yang Xiong said: "I heard that it was Hong Zai's uncle and brother Hong Zai Yin who gathered 400,000 party members, thinking that in the name of Hong Zai's revenge and recovering Yongle, he broke Chuzhou again, and defended the city, and our army attacked the city unfavorably, and suffered heavy casualties. ”

Li Ying was shocked: "The anti-thieves have 400,000 troops, and our army only had 150,000 horses when it marched south, and now it is less than 100,000, how can we recruit and suppress it?"

Lu Junyi said: "The flood of 400,000 horses is not a rabble, there is no need to be afraid, it is imperative to pack up the people and return to the army to help conquer Chuzhou." ”

Song Jiang said: "It has to be like this. Then he sent an order, pulled out the camp and returned to the military state, and requisitioned for Hongzai. Halfway back to the army, Song Jiang met Gao Zhilin, the governor of Quzhou, who sent troops to come, and then the two people and horses traveled the same way.

This Hong Zai made waves in Chuzhou, and after Yao Shunming, the governor of Wuzhou, learned about it, he visited his mother and wife, and made Fan Yuan, who was favored by Hong Zai, go to the blessings and misfortunes.

Fan Yuan was originally a landing talent, in his thirties, with outstanding eloquence and sharp words, when Hong Zai raised the army, he wanted to get his help, but Fan Yuan insisted on refusing, so he gave up. Fan Yuan was ordered by Yao Shunming to immediately come to Chuzhou to see Hong Zai, because Chuzhou was very besieged by the official army, Hong Zai only ordered a large basket to be tied with a rope, and went down the city to hang Fan Yuan on the head of the city.

Hong Zai invited Fan Yuan into the city tower and sat down to watch tea. Hong Zai smiled when he saw Fan Yuan, but asked, "Fan Gong is here to be a lobbyist for Tan Zhen?"

Fan Yuan said: "Outside the city of Chuzhou, a good place has been selected for General Hong, and a certain person has come to mourn for his feet. ”

Hong Zai frowned and said, "You and I are best friends, why do you insult me?"

Fan Yuan said: "It's not that Fan insults the general, but that the general takes his own humiliation!"

Hong Jae said: "What do you mean by this, sir?"

Fan Yuan asked, "How about you like Fang La?"

Hong Zai replied: "Fang Shenggong is the leader of the anti-Song Dynasty, and I might as well be in the six counties south of the Yangtze River." ”

Fan Yuan asked again, "How are you better than Song Jiang?"

Hong Zai replied: "Song Jiangshi's hero, his brothers are either dragons or tigers, and all the people in the world are willing to make friends, but they lack steel bones. ”

Fan Yuan said with a smile: "The general's words are fallacious! There is a saying in "Yan Zi Chunqiu": 'Those who know the times are handsome, and those who change through the machine are heroes.'" Although Fang La dared to be the first in the world, the outcome was clear to you and me, but the courage of the moment caused the lives of Jiangnan to be ruined, and the people were ruined. Song Jiang can be said to know the current affairs, change opportunities, only oppose traitorous ministers and not oppose the emperor, leaving the name of loyalty and filial piety in the world, and reusing it for the imperial court. Although the general had 400,000 horses, all of them were gathered in a rabble, but how many people could use them? How many fierce generals were there? Can they be compared to the Seven Buddhas of Fang, Lu Shinang, and other generations? Yao Tong sentenced the general to look up to his name for a long time, and the envoy foolishly said that he knew the benefits and disadvantages, and looked forward to the return of the general after removing his armor and welcoming his mother and wife home. Tan Jiedu also said in advance, if the general can disarm, he will not be blamed for the past. Why don't the general think twice about the death of a certain report? It's not too late to find out if you're lost!"

After hearing this, Hong Zai suddenly realized: "Thank you, Mr. for your kind words and persuasion, deaf and deaf, and immediately open the city and surrender, Fan Gong can reply first, so that the official army will not attack the city." Fan Yuan said goodbye, and still went down to the city with a big basket and replied to Tan Zhen. Tan Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered the army to retreat ten miles and wait for Hong Zai to come and surrender.

Hong Zai really did not break his promise, and after about two hours, he reorganized the people of the headquarters out of the city, and handed over all the ordnance, armor, banners and other things to Tan Zhi's army. Tan Zhi saw it, and personally led the generals to come to comfort Hong Zai, and all the 400,000 horses and horses of Hong Zai were incorporated into the army, and still let Hong Zai be in charge, and allowed Hong Zai to make meritorious contributions in the future. Hong Zai was grateful to Dade, and went to Wuzhou to welcome his old mother, wife and children, and thanked Yao Shunming for not mentioning it.

Although the well-known bandit leaders in Jiangnan were either surrendered or killed, some remnants of the party were like lice, rioting everywhere and not being able to live in peace. Tan Zhi had no choice but to send troops to kill everywhere until March of the fourth year of Xuanhe, and the rest of the party was peaceful.

From the beginning of Fangla, 52 counties in six states were broken, 2 million civilians were killed, and the king's division went out to triumph, 450 days.

Let's talk about which six states and which fifty-two counties in Fang Labo?

In October of the second year of Xuanhe, Fang La established himself as the emperor, and captured Qingxi County in November. In December, he fell into Mu and Sheerzhou, and the southeast general Guo Shizhong was killed in battle. At the end of the month, Hangzhou was conquered, Zhao Ting, Zhizhou, Zhao Yue, the envoy of Lian Visit, and Chen Jian, the envoy of the system, were killed by thieves.

In the first month of the spring of the third year of Xuanhe, Fang La fell into Wuzhou and then in Quzhou, and the guards Peng Rufang and Duan Youjie scolded the thief to death. In February, the edict was unsuccessful to appease Fang La, and Fang La conquered Chuzhou. There is a record in the book "Qingxi Kou Rail", so there is no need to say more.

The fifty-two counties in the six states broken by Fang La are:

Muzhou (Jiande, Chun'an, Qingxi, Tonglu, Fenshui, Sui'an, Shouchang counties. ）

Shezhou (She, Xiuning, Qimen, Wuyuan, Yi, Jixi counties. ）

Hangzhou (Qiantang, Renhe, Yuhang, Lin'an, Fuyang, Xincheng, Yanguan, Changhua counties. ）

Wuzhou (Jinhua, Yiwu, Yongkang, Wuyi, Pujiang, Dongyang, Lanxi counties. ）

Quzhou (Xi'an, Lixian, Longyou, Changshan, Kaihua counties. ）

Chuzhou (Lishui, Longquan, Songyang, Suichang, Jinyun, Qingtian counties. ）

In addition, there are three counties of Huangyan, Tiantai and Xianju in Taizhou, two counties of Yongjia and Yueqing in Wenzhou, three counties of Ningguo, Jingde and Jing in Xuanzhou, Chongde County in Xiuzhou, Gui'an County in Huzhou, and three counties of Shangyu, Xinchang and Yan in Yuezhou.

Jiangnan has been pacified, the imperial court has also filled the vacancy of new officials, Tan Zhi reorganized the army, led the generals and horses, played a triumphant song, mighty, and returned to the court in turn.

The rolling Yangtze River is divided into two countries, and the two emperors in the north and south are in full swing.

The dragon is injured and the tiger will die, and the bones will be dry.

Besides, when Song Jiang was going to return, Yang Zhi died of illness, so he was buried in Jinyun County, and his nephew Yang Zaixing mourned and mourned, and said goodbye to Song Jiang and returned to his hometown.

Song Jiangguan has a small position, and leads the people of the headquarters to walk at the end. A few days later, when he arrived near Qiantang in Hangzhou, Song Jiang looked at the western sky on the horse, the sun was hanging west like blood, and the clouds were burning like fire. The words say:

A long journey, 100,000 rolls of armor come.

The sword mountain and the sea of fire are difficult to block the Pixiu Road, and the blood is stained with yellow dust.

Killing more than 3,000 miles, the armor is full of lice.

The corpses are like mountains, the brothers are dead, and the lonely souls and wild ghosts are complaining.

When donating to the country, the chest of the head is peaceful.

The blood and tears of the strong man are intertwined, and the remnant sun is tilting westward.

That night, Song Jiang's soldiers and horses crossed the north bank of the Qiantang River and camped in. Lu Zhishen and Wu Song have nothing to do, take advantage of the bright moon, go out of the camp to enjoy the scenery, look at the south of the West Lake, the six and pagoda on the Yuelun Mountain, it is very magnificent, and remember the words of the heavenly master when parting Longhu Mountain, and suddenly have a heart of seclusion.

Wu Song pointed to the Liuhe Pagoda and said: "I heard that this pagoda was built in the third year of Kaibao in this dynasty, it was built by Qian Hongyu Sheyuan, and the tower courtyard was also built, and the purpose of building the tower was to suppress the river tide of the Qiantang River. Liuhe tower body is a total of nine layers, more than 50 zhang high, towering protrusion, look down on Qiantang by land, the scenery is beautiful, it can be described as a place of seclusion. ”

Lu Zhishen said with a smile: "Oh! Brother and the Sprinkle family want to be in one place, I originally intended to find my mentor Zhou Tong, Songshan to cultivate Buddhism, but I am afraid that I will not leave with Brother Song in Beijing, today Brother Song is successful, and the two of us will live up to the alliance of brothers, so I will spend the rest of my life here." After discussing it, the two went back to the camp and told Song Jiang their wishes, and Song Jiang and everyone were surprised when they heard it.

Song Jiang said: "How can the two brothers have such thoughts? Our brothers and I will help the imperial court to exterminate the Fang La Rebellion Party, and after returning to Beijing, they will definitely be added to the rank and become a knight, and they will leave their names in history. ”

Lu Zhishen said: "Thank you for your kindness, the Sprinkle family is used to being comfortable all their lives, and when they return to Beijing, they will be restrained, so they go against their hearts." If the Sprinkle family abandons his brother halfway, it is unjust, and now that his brother has become famous, the Sprinkler family is a disciple of Buddhism, and it is inconvenient to follow, and he hopes that the eldest brother Haihan. ”

Wu Song also said: "Brother Gongming, Wu Song has nothing else to do, he is a martial artist, God has mercy, he has to meet his brother, and he worships as a brother, which is not in vain in this life." Wu Song was fortunate to do his best by his brother's side to clear the future for his brother, and Wu Song's wish was fulfilled. Now the younger brother has lost one of his arms, and he has become a waste, his heart is like ashes, and he is unwilling to go to Beijing. I also hope that my brother will remember the old love and righteousness, and grant me this wish. ”

Lu Junyi, Lin Chongben, Lu Zhishen, and Wu Songshi came out of the same family, all of whom were Zhou Tong's apprentices, and they couldn't help but be reluctant to hear this.

Lu Junyi said: "I think the two junior brothers have this idea, but it's just a momentary thought, why not think twice?"

Lin Chong also said: "I think that when I was in the wild boar forest, if it wasn't for Zhishen's junior brother to save me, Lin Chong would have been a ghost under the spring, if I go today, I won't be desolate in my heart." The four of us are out of the same house, and we should be inseparable from flesh and blood, and today the two of you are leaving, like a flower and a tree, how can it not make people sad?"

Lu Zhishen said: "The two of us have this idea for a long time, just because the war is not over, I dare not give up the brothers and go, today is done, I two should, chant in front of the Buddha and eat fasting, in order to atone for the previous killing of the bad karma, only for the elder brother and the brothers to become a talent, but also in vain my brother and you live and die together, in the water and fire walked once." After the brothers heard this, they knew that the two monks could not stay, and everyone wept and grieved.

Song Jiang cried: "Since the two of you have made up your mind, we will not force you to stay, and the brothers will gather some gold and silver, and take it with you and the two of you to use it as incense." ”

Wu Song said to Song Jiang: "The two of us will only be rewarded for the battle with the army, and they can be used in the Liuhe Temple for public use. That night, the brothers drank and talked happily, and traveled all night for the two monks of Lu and Wu.

Early tomorrow morning, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song changed the Huohuan cloth straight, packed up, carried the package, carried the Zen staff, brought the ring knife, and said goodbye to the brothers and went to the Liuhe Temple to settle down, and Song Jiang led the brothers to send them out of the gate.

Lu Zhishen said: "Send you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell." The two of us can go by ourselves, and the brothers will go back. ”

Wu Song said: "Brother take care, brothers take care, there is fate in this life, and I will see you again." The two of them made a Buddhist ceremony and said goodbye to everyone with tears, and Song Jiang saw off a ride and returned with his brothers.
