The chaos along the way was unexpected, more flames came out from all over the city, choking smoke floated in the ancient city, from time to time I saw some tired, well-dressed and even disheveled pedestrians from the side of the road, the painting boat in the river, the green building, hurried home, in the smoke, the merchants on both sides of the road, the doors of each family began to close tightly, in the attics on both sides of the road, some people showed their heads to look out at the bustle.

Zhou Ning frowned, along the road by the small Qinhuai River towards the south gate of the street briskly, there are already a lot of victims gathered here beside the small Qinhuai River, the crowd here and there, there are some signs of riots at this moment, the officers and soldiers and the servants were staggered by the impact of the crowd, but they are still barely maintaining order, and there is no real chaos for a while.

"A new Buddha is born, get rid of the old demon ......"

"There are six Buddhas before Shakya, Shakya followed the six Buddhas to become enlightened, in the present bin calamity, in the future, there will be Maitreya Buddha, Fang followed Shakya and descended into the world......"

"Only those who follow the new Buddha are worthy of the Mahayana, and all the old Dharma is a demon ......"

Beside the river, a few monks and nuns dressed in strange monastic robes wandered along the bustling river, muttering and reciting teachings and spreading them among the victims. It looks especially weird and eerie in the dark and chaotic night.

Zhou Ning was secretly frightened, these monks who behaved secretly were naturally from the Maitreya Sect in the north, and if they were allowed to spread the teachings among the victims, they were afraid that they would have unpredictable consequences.

"Ahh Zhou Ning didn't pay attention and was almost hit by them.

"It's ...... What's wrong? Zhou Ning looked at the place of the incident with some astonishment, in the chaotic crowd, a man in cloth clothes took a knife with a hideous face, and slashed at the surrounding crowd, a man who was also dressed in shabby clothes was slashed by him, blood splashed out, and staggered back.

"Get out of the way, poor monk Zhu Leiyin of the Temple of Tomorrow, this person is probably confused by the old demon and confused his mind."

A middle-aged monk wearing a navy blue monk's robe, handsome and solemn, walked over with his palms folded.

"Let Jean, it's Zhu Leiyin Zen Master......"

The onlookers let go in an uproar, Zhu Leiyin recited the slogan "The new Buddha is born, get rid of the old demon", his fingers were like electricity, and he slapped twice on the man's body, Zhou Ning saw that the speed of Zhu Zhu's non-return shot was extremely fast, far stronger than he imagined.

After the two fingers, there was another commotion in the crowd, and the man opened his mouth, spat out a mouthful of jet-black blood, and collapsed to the ground.

"The old demon lurking in this person has been temporarily suppressed by me, who is his family? Take him down to have a good rest, and come to the Temple of Tomorrow to make a vow tomorrow to completely get rid of the old demons. ”

Zhu Leiyin withdrew his halberd finger with a serious face and said slowly.

A woman who described herself as a little haggard stepped forward and helped the man up with great gratitude. There was another chatter in the crowd.

In the midst of the discussion, Zhu Leiyin's face did not change, and he drifted away, and soon disappeared at the end of the river.

"Sure enough, it's a master's demeanor...... someone said in praise. Soon there was a response to the harmony.

"Amitabha, this son, you have a relationship with Maitreya Buddha......"

At this moment, a monk stopped Zhou Ning with a smile on the corner of his mouth and said.

Zhou Ning's heart sank, and he forced a smile: "This master must have seen it wrong, in the lower world, the heart is not exhausted, and the seven emotions and six desires still exist, how can he have a relationship with Maitreya Buddha?" ”

The monk said with a smile: "Childe don't worry, what we Maitreya Sect asks for is to break all the rules and precepts, and the sect does not abstain from marrying wives and having children, even our sect leader also has a Buddha Niang, this is the doctrine of our Maitreya Sect, if the son is interested, you can go to the Tomorrow Temple to listen to the two Maitreya preaching." ”

The monk handed a thin booklet to Zhou Ning, bowed deeply, walked to the other person, and said with his palms folded.

"Amitabha, this son, you have a relationship with Maitreya Buddha......"

Zhou Ning couldn't help but laugh dumbly, put the booklet into his arms, and walked towards Xiao Qinhuai's HN section.

In the midst of the crowd, occasionally a few monks dressed in monk's robes gathered together, either in a trance, or in a fanatical expression, handing out pamphlets and preaching the teachings of Maitreya along the road.

Troubled times, it's really here. Zhou Ning sighed in his heart.

Zhou Ning didn't have any idea of saving the people or establishing any meritorious deeds, so he could only think about Maitreya's actions and condemn them in his heart.

"You demon monk, what is your intention to deceive people here?"

A familiar voice came from not far behind him, crisp and pleasant, it was a girl's voice, looking back, in the flow of people on the bank of the Xiaoqinhuai River, it was Ouyang Xiu's daughter Ouyang Xuan who spoke, this chick was standing there angrily, and there was a charming and beautiful girl standing beside her, compared to Ouyang Xuan.

Ouyang Xuanxian also witnessed the scene of Zhu Leiyin's treatment just now, and a look of extreme displeasure appeared on his pretty face, and then his eyes moved to the man, and he said loudly: "This person's brows are red, and the aura gathers but does not disperse, obviously he has taken an extremely manic medicine, it is definitely not something that is confused by the old demons, don't listen to those demon monks." ”

The monk on the side frowned slightly, clasped his palms together and said, "Amitabha, this girl seems to have some misunderstanding of the teachings of my Maitreya Sect. ”

Ouyang Xuan interrupted him and said, "When I was in the north, I also heard the teachings of the Maitreya Sect, which is to teach people to kill, yes or no? ”

The monk said, "The girl knows very well, it is exactly like this, the people killed by the Maitreya Sect are all stained with karma, and there is merit in killing them." ”

Ouyang Xuan was slightly stunned, and the girl next to her said: "Maitreya must be enshrined in Maitreya, Sanskrit "Maitreya", meaning "Cishi", the master must have also read "All Wisdom and Bright Immortals Compassion Karma Do Not Eat Meat Sutra", Maitreya made a wish for an immortal because of the ground: I would rather burn my body and break my eyes, and I can't bear to kill and eat sentient beings. Rather break the bone marrow out of his mind, and can't bear to eat meat and eat sentient beings. He also vowed: May I not think of killing in the world, never eat meat, and even become a Buddha and cut off meat vows. The sutra states that because of compassion, practitioners would rather destroy their own lives than endure to eat the flesh of sentient beings, so they are called Cishi. Maitreya is still like this, how can he be like the master said, 'killing people has merit'? ”

The monk's face did not change, and he said, "Maitreya tastes the Tao, and the Buddha body is the Dharma body, and he is born from immeasurable merit and wisdom, and he is born from the liberation and knowledge of the precepts and wisdom. Those who are not born and do not perish, have no life from the beginning, and have no extinction now, are not the outer way, will be extinguished, and will be extinguished, and will be extinguished, and will not be born. Our religion is just to help them get free, so what's wrong? ”

The girl beside Ouyang Xuan said softly: "In the Huayan Sutra. In the "Cultivation of Compassion", the Buddha told Maitreya that he should cultivate compassion and subdue himself, and Maitreya is really to transform sentient beings with compassion and forbearance...... How can you kill people casually......"

The green aura on the monk's face flashed, and he clasped his palms together and said, "The two female donors are really eloquent. But it has really gone astray, in order to let the two female benefactors know their way back, the poor monk Zhu Peiyin can't be rude. ”

Around, a large number of monks dressed in monks' robes surrounded them with unkind faces, forming a siege posture.

Ouyang Xuan was taken aback, secretly wary, and said in a condensed voice: "You stinky monks dare to be rude to us, do you know who we are?" ”

Zhou Ning was speechless in his heart, these two chicks are inevitably too ignorant of advancing and retreating, at this time, dismantling other people's platforms doesn't mean that it is difficult for them to ride tigers?

Xu Dao stood on horseback, and his heart was full of pride and ambition.

After a seven-day siege, the army led by Heavenly Master Dao finally captured Jiangzhou City, the ancient capital of the former dynasty. Since a month ago, he and Xiang Yu on the other road. It was like a competition, when Xiang Yu conquered Huiji, then attacked Huzhou, and directly took Hangzhou City, he led the army to break Danyang, Kejing Tomb, and the soldiers approached Yangzhou City.
