It is said that the presiding officer of Qingniling Nunnery originated from the monks of Mount Emei. But when she came to Qinling, she was far from carrying forward Buddhism, and it may also be because she was not good at studying Buddhism, otherwise how could she make friends with Taoist people of unknown factions? As a disciple from Mount Emei, this kind of thing is simply taboo now.

At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Buddhism took Mount Emei as the dojo of the Bodhisattva, and soon squeezed out Taoism. Now the Taoist temple of Mount Emei still exists, but there are many contradictions with Buddhism.

Of course, Jing Niang's disciples don't care about these, they claim to be Taoist, but they are actually a bit nondescript. The presiding officer of Qingniling Nunnery should pay attention to these things, but now she doesn't seem to want to pay attention to them; The temple was on the verge of closure, and perhaps she felt that it was most important for the women not to starve to death.

Now the two nuns are returning the favor of the female Taoist priest Jingniang, and they have come to Sanguan hundreds of miles away. Then he got involved in mundane matters and was asked to describe the topography and climate of Qingniling.

Although Guo Shao has a sense of awe for unknown things such as gods and ghosts, he does not believe in any religion, let alone whether they are nuns or Taoist aunts, as long as they are useful, they will use them. He only cared about making military merits, waiting to marry the second sister of the Fu family.

According to the narration of the nuns, the location of Qingniling is actually very good, and it is on the "Chencang Road", but it is the most difficult section of the northern section of Shu Road; It is located forty miles south of Guzhen.

Shu Road first extended along the Jialing River, and after arriving in Fengzhou, it was more troublesome to cross the Jialing River, which was dangerous; Therefore, it was diverted to the west, passing through Guzhen and then passing through Qingniling. Qingniling is a place with high mountains and a lot of rain, and the road is difficult to walk, but it is actually the most dangerous place, and there have been many major battles; Not only is it difficult to capture, but it is also difficult to walk and climb mountains when there is nothing to do.

Guo Shao listened to the nun's difficult story, and the Qingniling of the heart was in the south of Guzhen, which did not belong to the goal of this campaign to capture Qin and Feng. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A group of women came north along the Shu Road, and also found out the military village in the north of Weiwu City, a total of eight. This information is very useful to Guo Shao.

…… The two forces sent out in the early stage have returned, and Guo Shao and the generals agreed to return to Fengxiang. But before leaving, he decided to consolidate the two footholds of Qingniling Nunnery and Lao Luo's family in Tangcang Town and establish a stronghold.

This is a simple "intelligence system", the main station is located at the end of Shu Road, Chencang, rented a private house, and Luo Yanhuan and two personal soldiers temporarily stayed behind. There are two strongholds, one is Qingniling Nunnery, so that Jing Niang's subordinates pretend to be Buddhist lay disciples to stay; Another Tangcang town is no longer garrisoned by strong personal soldiers, but by two slaves of the Li Chuyun family disguised as traders and colluded with Old Man Luo. Li Chuyun's slave is not a soldier at first glance, but it is easier.

For the first time, everyone saw that sending spies could do this; In the past, the generals wanted to inquire about the military situation, either asking the peddlers and pawns who came and went, or sending scouts to temporarily find out the situation. Things like being sleepy and undercover are really little known in the military...... Therefore, Guo Shaocai can only arrange it himself. It's easy, and it's easy to keep this simple organization alive by spending money to support it; As long as the pay is reasonable, there are people who are willing to take that risk.

On the way, Zuo You couldn't help but praise Guo Shao in front of Yang Biao and others: "The lord makes good use of people, whether it is a Taoist nun or a pawn slave, it can come in handy." I think of the battle in Wuzhen again, the lord can quickly reorganize the wounded soldiers, even the old and weak, women and children who are not in the organization, into a force of men and horses, I can't help but admire. ”

Luo Mengzi said disapprerovingly: "Last time, I also said to the general that the eldest brother is best at seizing the opportunity, otherwise the brothers will all die in the Hedong battle array, and Shi Yanchao will not survive!" ”

……

As soon as he returned to Fengxiang Inn, Guo Shao found that someone was watching him in the window of the wooden building. Perhaps because of the instinctive reaction formed by practicing archery, he paid extra attention to the commanding heights in the relatively open field of vision, so he suddenly found the little lady of the Li family hiding behind the window.

Then the people on the left and right all looked up at Guo Shao's gaze. He is the leading brother of the group, and it is naturally easier for his words and deeds to attract the attention of the people who accompany him. But at this time, people didn't see anything, only a window, and the bamboo curtain was still shaking gently.

Just like the sudden retrospective of everyone in the hall of the Li Mansion in Pizhou, no one saw her. The Li family's movements are always so fast.

The thoughts of the Li family's lady, not to mention Guo Shao, the blind can see it. Guo Shao could only pretend to be stupid...... If it weren't for Queen Fu's promise to him, he would have thought that the Li family's lady would not be bad.

Then everyone went back to their rooms, Jing Niang and Guo Shao walked together, and as soon as they walked up the wooden stairs, they bumped into the Li family. Li Shi stood in front of him, his head bowed and his face flushed, Guo Shao and Jing Niang were stunned. Guo Shao hurriedly bowed his hand and said hello.

Li Shi said softly: "I have washed the robe that Guo Du gave me in Pizhou, and I will return it to you." ”

Guo Shao glanced at it, she was empty-handed, and she didn't take anything. Xindao: Returning things is really a good excuse to meet logically, and this trick is still used in later generations. However, Li Shi seems to be a little jerky, since he returned the things, he didn't even take the things. Guo Shao had the illusion that he was in love for a while, but his mind was still clear: love in ancient times was by no means something that could be talked about casually.

It's just one more thing, her face has been deliberately and carefully dressed; The clothes are also new, with light red silk material on the upper body, narrow sleeves and short undergarments, and a flower ribbon, which is called a shawl at this time; The color of the skirt is slightly darker, and the floral pattern is like a pomegranate, forming a sense of layering.

But for Guo Shao, as long as the face is not ugly, he can wear anything; What he cares about most is the woman's figure and temperament. At this time, his eyes were quickly attracted by Lee's bulging chest...... It has been nearly two months since I left Beijing, and I haven't known Gentle Township for a long time, so it's really easy to be emotionally aroused.

At this time, it was almost October, and the weather in Guanzhong was already relatively cold, and people wore thicker clothes. At this time, the woman did not have a bra to support, and the clothes of the Han people were relatively loose, and the chest that could support several layers of thick clothes would never be too small...... Guo Shao doesn't like breasts that are too small. Moreover, Lee's face is also very beautiful, with a kind of roundness of weak bones and abundant muscles. However, in terms of figure, Jing Niang is the most exaggerated and attractive, but she deliberately covers it up, and she is usually cold, Guo Shao does not dare to make mistakes easily.

He was stimulated by Li's soft words, and he shamelessly imagined a pair of white and big jade rabbits in his mind. At this time, Li said lightly: "You can go with me to get the robe...... There's a hole in one place, and I've sewed it up for you. ”

Guo Shao stood still and did not move.

Li Shi turned back and said, "Come on." It was as if it were coaxing him and seducing him.

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, then beckoned to Jing Niang: "You help me pick up that dress." ”

He was glad that he was more witty in his improvisation, but Li Shi was full of grievances, and said directly: "You have left Fengxiang for a total of thirty-two days, and I have counted them, like thirty-two years...... What's wrong with me, why don't you ignore it? ”

Guo Shao was speechless, thinking that she was not bad, but Second Sister Fu should be better. If you don't have to be responsible, of course it's better for both......

At this moment, Jing Niang walked up and said coldly to Li: "Don't you want to return the clothes, but still haven't you returned them?" ”

Such a cold sentence made Li Shi stunned for a moment, maybe she realized that there was a woman beside Guo Shao. It's not that Jing Niang is not easy to be noticed, she is relatively tall and tall, and she is not a person who is easy to be ignored; It's just that she didn't say a word before that, as if she didn't care, and the Li family really didn't want to care about her.

Li didn't compete with Jing Niang, and took Jing Niang back to the house to get things in frustration.

So Guo Shao and Jing Niang went to the guest room on the other side one after another. Jing Niang threw his clothes on the bed, and was about to leave, when she couldn't help but turn around and said, "Why don't you accept the kindness of the Li family's lady?" ”

Guo Shao pondered for a while, and then asked, "Jing Niang has heard of Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Hmm." Jing Niang replied casually, and stood just waiting for him to continue to say something.

Guo Shao sighed, and sure enough, he continued: "Xuanzang is a senior monk of the Tang Dynasty, so he is called Tang Seng. Tang Seng went to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, and legend has it that he went through eighty-one difficulties along the way. I don't think it's all difficult, some are dangerous, some are tempting. The monsters on the road heard that Tang Seng could live forever after eating meat, so many monsters wanted to harm him...... However, some female goblins just fell in love with him, lustful and seductive, and there was an empress of the daughter country, who enjoyed endless glory and wealth and was very beautiful, and wanted Tang Seng to stay and share the country with her. But in the end, Tang Seng was unmoved. ”

Jing Niang listened carefully and said, "It's the first time I've heard Xuanzang go to Tianzhu to have such a strange theory. So why wasn't he moved? Do you want to say that he sees through the red dust and the four are empty? ”

Guo Shao shook his head and said: "After Tang Seng takes the scriptures, he can become a Buddha." Compared with such good things as becoming a Buddha and living with the sun and the moon, the beautiful emperor of the daughter country is not worth mentioning. So those temptations couldn't move him at all. ”

"Xuanzang has become a Buddha?" Jing Niang is getting more and more curious.

Guo Shao nodded and said: "In the legend, this is the case, take back the scriptures to benefit all sentient beings, benefit living beings, and then become a Buddha if you become famous." A happy ending for all. ”

Jing Niang understood, nodded thoughtfully, and then shook her head: "What does that have to do with your rejection of the Li family's lady?" What do you want to get in order to become a Buddha like Xuanzang? ”

Guo Shao felt that this "holy aunt" was no longer a threat in recent months, but she was not a person who could be trusted unconditionally...... The queen's promise, he didn't tell anyone, not even Yang Luo and other brothers.

Besides, Jing Niang has completely ignored Zhao Kuangyin recently, and she doesn't even care about the Taoist temple, and comes to follow her...... Guo Shao can probably guess that she is responsible for ruining her innocence, but how does she want to be responsible? Guo Shao didn't believe that Jing Niang was willing to be a concubine.

So he casually said, "You will understand in the future." ”
