Chapter 115: Master Tianqi

In troubled times, there will be demons.

Although we are now in the best 40 years of Chinese history, no matter how strong the sun is, there is no place where it shines.

The frequent wars and the poverty of property have almost made the northwest frontier the children of the old Wang family next door, and belong to the lord who does not love his grandmother and uncle.

Unless there is a war, generally no one will think that there is such a place in the Great Song Dynasty. Just like the Xinzhou earthquake, the high-level officials of the Zhao Group headed by Zhao Zhen originally planned to send Shi Chengkan, the servant.

The building of the branch collapsed, what happened to you sending a headquarters discipline inspector? Do you want to check if the earthquake is a man-made accident?

The people of Xinzhou are bitter! It is said that the official family is merciful, but when will this holy grace be able to bathe in us?

The official family is too far away, and it seems that it will not be able to count on it for a while. If you have that spare time, it is better to go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, so as to ask for peace of mind, right?

As a result, there are many local religious schools, including shamanism in the north, Buddhism in the west, and Bon from the plateau, and even Zoroastrianism in Xinzhou.

Fang Zhongyong can understand this, religious freedom! But what the hell is Master Qi on this day? Why don't you call it Monkey King?

Fang Zhongyong took a closer look at Ma Liu, and didn't see any sign that this item was also crossed. He asked very uncertainly, "Are you sure it's Master Tianqi?" And not some other Monkey King or something? ”

Ma Liu said: "Good my handsome! The little ones came to spy on the people's feelings on the orders of the army, how dare they talk nonsense? Isn't that looking for death?

Don't say it, this day Qi Dashi is really a Taoist. Anyone who has been dead for many days can be revived by his spell. If you don't allow it, the little ones want to join. ”

Fang Zhongyong sneered: "If there are no accidents, I am the closest person to God in the world. I also want to see the ability of the living dead and flesh and bones. Lead the way! Ben Shuai has to see where it is sacred, and here it is for the benefit of all people. ”

The so-called Tianqi Master was not as Fang Zhongyong imagined, hiding his head and showing his tail, and he didn't dare to see people. At this time, people are preaching in a temple!

The temple was called the Five Ghosts Tianqi Temple, which was originally just an unknown small local temple.

Although it was magnificently repaired in the early years of the dynasty, it fell into disrepair and has long been dilapidated.

In this earthquake, Xinzhou was almost razed to the ground, but this day Qi Temple escaped in this earthquake, just dropped a few tiles, and was regarded as a miracle by a group of fools and foolish women.

There are also masters who come out of nowhere, and they have forgotten their names and surnames since the years and months, and because they have a relationship with here, they call themselves after the temple. Because of his profound Taoism, he gave medicine and treated many people, and the people called him Tianqi Master.

When Fang Zhongyong arrived at the Tianqi Temple, the priest was telling a story.

I saw that the priest with white hair but a red face said: "You can know that this small temple of Tianqi, how can it be safe and sound in this disaster?"

Some believers said, "It must be the Dharma of the Great Priest who has blessed this place!"

Tuas shook his head and said, "No, no, no!" This temple is also involved in a public case a hundred years ago!

At the beginning, Emperor Taizu had not yet made his mark and happened to pass by here. Seeing that there were a few people in the temple playing Shuanglu, Taizu was so gambling that he couldn't help but get involved.

It's just that his luck is not good, and he won't lose a big son in a short time. He had to gamble again, and the others didn't bother to pay attention to him when they saw that he didn't have gambling money. As soon as Emperor Taizu made a mistake, he said, if you lose now, let my great-grandson return you in the future!

In the blink of an eye, Emperor Taizu lost it again, and those people laughed and said, In the future, a few of us will ask your great-grandson for an account. As soon as he turned around, he became the judge and the four ghosts in this temple. This is the past when Taizu rebuilt the Five Ghost Tianqi Temple after winning the country. ”

When the believers heard this, they said, well, there are still such glorious statues of several gods in this temple! Bye-bye!

Fang Zhongyong saw that the story was over, and asked, "I don't know where the ancestral residence of the great priest is, why did you come here?"

Tianqi glanced at Fang Zhongyong and said, "Oh, who is my Dao?" But it turned out to be to appease the adults, and it was really a great honor for you.

The old way game has been in the world for a hundred years, and I have long forgotten where my homeland is, and I only remember in a trance that someone once called me Hu Putian in the world.

As for why he came here, it's just that the old Taoist felt something in his heart, and he didn't want to lose his life, so he came to save the people and accumulate some merit for himself. If the adults don't like it, the old way is to go. ”

When the people heard that this Bodhisattva wanted to leave, they stopped doing it: "Master, can you go!"

There was even a die-hard fan who hugged Fang Zhongyong's leg and cried: "Tuas is a good person!" You can't drive him away! If Tuas hadn't saved me, I would have been dead for days! ”

Fang Zhongyong was very interested in this fan's statement: "Yo, you are the one who died for a few days and was rescued? Tell me, how did you die for days and how did you get revived? ”

"The little one is called Zhang San and lives in Zhangjiawan, which is not far away. The family has a house and a field, and life is boundless. It's a pity that the sky collapsed and fell into suffering, and one life went away from hating the sky. Thanks to the magic power of Tianqi Master, I was returned to the world again. ”

Yo he, I'm still an artist!

Fang Zhongyong smiled: "The mouth is quite slippery!" Have you sung Lotus Fall before? Is there a local village called Zhangjiawan? ”

An old official replied: "My lord, the younger family has been a local servant for generations, and I am familiar with each village. The nearest village, Zhangjiawan, is dozens of miles away. As far as I know, there is no such number one person in the village. ”

The man who called himself Zhang San defended: "The small ones are from other states." ”

Fang Zhongyong didn't bother to pay attention to this non-famous folk artist, and asked Hu Putian directly: "Bee sparrow, which one are you?"

Don't talk yet, let the official guess.

Those who walk the rivers and lakes are only for money. But these days, you don't seem to be taking money from the people. If it's not that you want to cast a long line to catch big fish, then you don't want money, what do you want? Dare to slander Emperor Taizu in this wild place, do you want to rebel? ”

With a wave of his hand, a group of subordinates drew their knives and surrounded the so-called Tianqi Master.

Hu Putian shouted: "Could it be that the monks are also guilty of the taboo of adults for being merciful? People, this is the good official sent by the imperial court to help us! Do you think he will really save you? The Buddha is dead, Maitreya has come! ”

Fang Zhongyong smiled when he heard this: "That's right!" Maitreya, what can you do if you don't rebel? I just don't know how many bodhisattvas you are? (Maitreya teaches that killing one person is a bodhisattva who lives in one place, and killing ten people is a bodhisattva who lives in ten lives.) ）

"The deity is the Buddha of the West, Gao Tansheng!"

"! Gao Tansheng was a person in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, who was the emperor for a few months, and also made a nun the queen. Later, he was killed by Gao Kaidao, could it be such a thing as you? ”

"How can the Buddha die? Believers, believe in Maitreya and have eternal life! Kill this dog official, and this Buddha will take you to Elysium! ”

I don't know if Zhao Zhen's character is strong, or Hu Putian's propaganda is not in place, and there is no situation where the people rushed to slaughter the dog official as he imagined.

But the hesitation and even obstruction of many people also gave Hu Putian a chance to escape. Hu Putian, under the cover of a few henchmen, ran to the river in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that he was about to let the thieves escape, Fang Zhongyong gave an order: "Release the arrow!" ”

Dozens of strong bows were fired, and several minions around Hu Putian were shot into hedgehogs.

Hu Putian relied on his vigorous skills, flashed left and right, and escaped by luck. But he saw that he did not make a gesture, and did not take a boat, but just stepped on the water like that, and went down the river.

All the soldiers and civilians were stunned, could this really have magic power? Some fools even knelt down on the spot and begged the priest to forgive their sins.

Fang Zhongyong saw that the forbidden army was useless, so he took out a throwing gun, aimed at the target and threw it.

In the stunned eyes of everyone, Fang Zhongyong's spear was shot at the water at Hu Putian's feet. Hu Putian was unstable and fell into the water.

Seeing that he had hurt Tuas, the villagers were furious and asked, "Tuass is merciful and doesn't take a penny from the medicine, why should the adults harm him?" ”

Someone else said: "Tuas is a Buddha with supernatural powers, and if you hurt Tuas, you will definitely go to hell after death!" ”

This ideology or something is the most difficult problem to solve. Fang Zhongyong didn't plan to explain more, he only ordered his subordinates to search along the river, and be sure to see people alive and corpses when they died.

After a short time, the searchers came back, and instead of catching Hu Putian, they brought back a dying guy with a gun thrown in his body.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Fang Zhongyong said: "This is the reason why Hu Putian was able to float on the water. Find a good water-based one to drag underneath, even a pig can float, let alone a human? What else do you have to say! ”

There are really people who have been brainwashed more and asked: "Tuas revealed the identity of the adult as soon as they met, what is going on?" ”

"It's just a street trick. You've all told your fortunes, right? If the fortune teller sees that your face is happy, he will surely say that he will ask for some reward. If you have a sad face, of course you have to say bad things to scare you and ask you to pay him to solve the problem for you.

This Hu Putian is still somewhat knowledgeable, seeing that this official is leading a group of forbidden troops, here and now, who else can lead the forbidden army to patrol around?

Just a few tricks of deception will coax you into a daze, and you dare to question the official's family, dare to ignore the official's order, and build a nest at home, which is really bold. Do you really want to rebel? ”

A gentry said, "That nest looks like a tomb, and it is very unlucky to live in it!" ”

"I didn't want you to stay forever. When the money, food, and medicinal materials allocated by the imperial court are delivered, they will naturally be distributed to you for your daily use. When the situation is settled, we will build a house to ensure that everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. ”

As soon as they heard that there were medicinal herbs delivered, the people were happy.

After all, most people come to listen to this Tianqi Master's teachings, and the original purpose is actually to see a doctor and treat injuries.

There is medicine in the imperial court, who is rare to listen to the guy who doesn't know whether it is a monk or a Taoist priest. If you have that spare time, you might as well go home and dig a more spacious nest!
