PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
China needs faith, Chinese need faith, but which is greater than China's god or imperial power? First of all, we must see that half of the immortals are clergy, most of which are created by Buddhism and Taoism, but the other half is the common people's local law concocted from the human world, such as Guan Yu and Mazu, if it were not for the emperor's fuel, I am afraid it would not have reached such a lofty status today.
There are also some gods, such as Emperor Wenchang is a turtle and snake, Emperor Zhenwu is from mountains and rivers, and of course there are five handfuls of beards for Wu Zixu Xianggong Temple, the funniest is Du Shijiao, the reason is that Du Fu has been a left, so in China, the emperor's political rights are by no means comparable to religious beliefs, and even divine rights must be sealed.
Buddhism existed in Guangling, Puci returned to the temple, and a group of monks waited anxiously in front of the temple under the leadership of Pujing, and they were all relieved to see the moment the abbot returned.
Buddha blessed. Pujing folded his hands to welcome Puci and said, "Senior brother, how is it?" ”
"This time, thanks to Liu Yuanjun, there is a glimmer of life for Shimen in Guangling."
Pu Ci didn't say that Pu Jing also understood the danger of this trip, how could those Confucian scholars tolerate them, but this time the senior brother was the same in the Deyang Palace, and won the final victory of the Hoover Proposal, and finally let them have such a place to live in Guangling, and said: "Senior brother, in fact, I said a long time ago that Zhou Kong re-entered the world, and my Buddhist family was reborn. But no matter whether people are born or enter the world, they have to be reasonable, as long as the reason makes sense. Whether it is the Guangling Council Hall or the North Palace Deyang Palace, whether it is Liu Lan today or the Son of Heaven back then. It will definitely give me a place for Buddhism. ”
Pu Ci smiled bitterly, shook his head secretly, and said, "Senior brother, there are some things you still think too simply, are all the unreasonable people that Shimen has met over the years?" No, they can also reason, but once it comes to liberation, they don't reason anymore? Instead, he raised a butcher's knife to drive the believers to slaughter the monks, so this matter has nothing to do with the truth. It has nothing to do with whether the people in power are unreasonable, the key is to see if they are willing to understand my liberation, otherwise even if they are the teachers today, they will not be able to escape Liu Lan's destruction of the Buddha in Guangling! ”
"Senior brother's words seem ordinary but seem to mean something, he only hates me for being clumsy and unwise, and I can't understand the deep meaning."
"You are humble, I see that you are not not ignorant, but you have already seen everything, but this rare and confused method is something I can't learn anyway. I only blame the ego for being too deep, and sooner or later I will suffer from samsara. Pu Ci let out a long sigh.
"Senior brother doesn't have to be arrogant, in fact, what senior brother has been doing over the years is nothing more than the prosperity of the Liberation Sect, if you let go of this attachment. I will definitely become a Buddha, in fact, I have always had some words in my heart to say to my senior brother, that destroying a Buddha is not terrible. Even if Liu Lan really burned down all the temples in Guangling today, how many scriptures and books were destroyed. It doesn't matter how many monks are driven away or how many believers are persuaded to return to the laity. As long as the Dharma lasts forever, the Buddha's mind does not die, the Buddha will not die, and the Buddha will still exist, just like the White Horse Temple was destroyed, but my Buddha Gate still exists. ”
"The Dharma endures, and the Buddha's mind does not die." Puci clasped his hands together, lowered his eyebrows, and said, "Fang Jin's release is just Hinayana, I don't have a chance to see the day when Hinayana enters Mahayana, but junior brother, you will be able to see it one day!" ”
On this day, Abbot Puci returned to the temple and has been closed ever since.
On this day, tens of thousands of monks in Guangling were forced to return to the laity.
On this day, Gan Qian interceded for the monk in Xuzhou, Zhen Jiang accepted her as a maid, and Guo Yuer was forced to return to her hometown and return to Zhen's mansion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not long after Zhang Fei sent back the news, he found no trace of Zhou Yu, and then Liu Lan told Chen Deng to take his own soldiers on the road again, and did not join Guan Yu as a teacher.
The destination of Liu Lan's trip was Xiapi Dongcheng, if it wasn't for Zhang Zhao's recommendation, Liu Lan really didn't know that Lu Su was a person from Xiapi (Linhuai is Xiapi) Dongcheng County.
Along the way, Liu Lan and Xu Chu Zhen Yan chatted and farted or chatted with old Confucians like Zhang Zhao about moral articles, and benefited a lot to the second, which really feels very different, just like drinking the strongest alcohol yesterday, and today sipping good tea, the taste of which is only he can understand.
Of course, Liu Lan's favorite thing is to chat with Zhou Shang who was escorted, this reckless man Xu was frightened, no matter what Liu Lan asked, he knew everything, of course, with the increase in the number of chats, in fact, he was not very worried, but completely opened his heart, so the box was completely opened.
In fact, his real name is not called Zhou Shang at all, he is called Zhou Cheng, and the real Zhou Shangqi is Zhou Yu's uncle, the reason why he uses Zhou Shang's name is mainly to be able to walk between the counties conveniently, after all, no matter where he goes, even if he doesn't sell Zhou Yu's face, he has to sell his Zhou Shang's face.
And this time they entered Xuzhou, the most important reason was that Zhou Yu had been looking for a prince to serve.
At the beginning, Zhou Shang wanted to take refuge in Yuan Shu, but Zhou Yu was not optimistic about him, so he looked around, and the first stop was to go to Xuzhou, but he happened to meet the Qiao sisters, and at the same time got the news of his brother Sun Ce, it turned out that he was now serving under Yuan Shu.
If it was just like this, Zhou Yu would not be moved, but when he learned that Sun Ce had been secretly sending people to contact Zhang Zhao, he was sure that his righteous brother was not willing to be a general in front of others, so he originally came to see if Liu Lan could work and designed a game, and the purpose was to help Sun Ce successfully pick up Zhang Zhao, but unfortunately he was finally defeated in the confrontation with Liu Lan.
But how could a child of a family like Zhou Yu be willing to be defeated in the hands of a soldier like Liu Lan, although from the bottom of his heart Zhou Yu is quite optimistic about this little Wei Qing, who has been famous since the time of Emperor Ling, for so many years, the northern border has always been peaceful, but it is inseparable from him, if he hadn't killed Xianbei and Karasuma to cry wolf, he has not heard of Hu people violating the border for so many years.
It was in this situation that the two had their first confrontation, Zhou Yu was defeated, and he was unwilling to remember this shame, remembered it very well, and finally found an opportunity in Guangling. But I didn't expect to lose in the hands of Liu Lan again. According to Zhou Cheng, with Zhou Yu's character, he will never stop there. There must be a follow-up move, but Zhang Fei, who was in Jiangdu, did not find any clues. Also, with Zhou Yu's shrewdness, how could it be easy for people to find her, but as long as he dared to engage in any more conspiracies and tricks in Xuzhou, then Liu Lan would not let him get away easily.
"Liu Yuanjun, it's not that the kid is talkative, there may be an unexpected gain on this trip."
"Oh? You elaborate. ”
Zhou Chengshen whispered mysteriously in Liu Lan's ear, and before he finished speaking, Liu Lan's eyes flashed: "Is there really such a thing?" ”
"The kid doesn't dare to deceive you."
"If it comes true. I will reward you again. Liu Lan immediately shook off the large army and headed towards Dongcheng, never thought that Zhou Yu's first stop on this trip was actually in Dongcheng, and it was very coincidental that the person he saw in Dongcheng was none other than Lu Su, if Liu Lan remembered correctly, Zhou Yu asked Lu Su for help due to lack of food when he was the county magistrate of Juchao in the year when Yuan Shu became emperor, and the two became friends since then, but now Zhou Yu and Lu Su met two years in advance, is it a mistake in the record, or is it a butterfly effect?
But no matter what the reason, his original intention of inviting Lu Su out of the mountain will not change. This Lu Su is not an ordinary person, the simplest example in history is not Guan Yu in the romance, it is precisely Guan Yu who Lu Su went to the meeting alone, and the Wu State established by Sun Quan has been using his offer from beginning to end. And this strategy is decades earlier than Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair.
Even Zhang Zhao and Liu Lan did everything possible to obstruct it, let alone a talent like Lu Su.
When you retract your thoughts and look back. Only Xu Chu and a few people followed behind him, and the large army in the distance had long been gone.
The group entered the city. Dongcheng is close to Yangzhou (Shouchun is the seat of Yangzhou administration, and the Moling (Nanjing) occupied by Liu Miao is only the county of Danyang County) The inspection of the city gate is very strict. Don't dare to relax in the slightest, so as not to mix in with the spies.
Suddenly, the guards of the city found Liu Lan and his party, and immediately dozens of people surrounded them, Wu Chang didn't say anything, Xu Chu had come forward to take out a token, Wu Chang took it and just glanced at it, and he was distracted, trembling and respectfully inviting the group to enter the city.
When Liu Lan and his entourage came to the Lu Mansion in Wanyang Lane in Dongcheng, it was already completely dark. However, Wanyang Lane is the aristocratic area of Dongcheng, and the people who live here are all famous families in Dongcheng, and the wind lanterns are hung high at the door of their homes, and the lights of Wanyang Lane are bright, bright as day.
Liu Lan and his entourage entered the alley, the diligent Fang Cheng wanted to lead Liu Lan to Lu Mansion but was refused, looking at Liu Lan and his entourage who entered the alley, not to mention how disappointed they were, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was missed, maybe in this life can only be this small Fang Cheng in Wanyang Lane.
Not to mention that Fang Cheng, who was crying out in his heart, said that Liu Lan turned over and dismounted four or five meters outside the gate of Lu Mansion, and before the people in the mansion had time to ask who they were, Xu Chu had already shouted in a rough voice, and said: "This is Xuzhou Liu Yuanjun, go and let your master come out to greet you!" ”
Soon, all the men in Lu Su's mansion went out of the house to greet him, Lu Su was seven feet tall, with beautiful eyebrows, wearing a robe to make a salute in front of Liu Lan, but in his heart he guessed why Liu Lan suddenly visited, after all, he and Liu Lan had nothing to do with each other.
In the midst of worry, Liu Lan personally helped him up and carried him into the courtyard. The latter followed him like a marionette, worried in his heart, now he was too passive, and he couldn't let Liu Lan turn against the guest anymore, so he had to figure out the purpose of his trip, so he glanced at him and said cautiously: "I don't know what happened to Liu Yuanjun's sudden visit." ”
Liu Lan held Lu Su's wrist and said with a smile while striding forward: "Zijing, I came to your house this time because of Pengcheng Zhang Zibu's recommendation, and I personally came to invite you to come out, in addition, there is a small matter to inquire about with you." Saying that, Liu Lan stretched out his hand to Xu Chuyi, and the latter handed over a white jade flute, which was the same as the one used by Da Qiao, but this branch was not something that Da Qiao carried, but Liu Lan specially found someone to go to Wu County to get it, and handed it to Lu Su and said: "Mr. Zijing, I don't know if you have ever seen this thing?" ”
Lu Su's expression flickered obviously, and he forced himself to calm down, and said, "I haven't seen this thing before, I don't know what this thing is?" ”
"It seems that Zijing is not telling the truth." Liu Lan suddenly exerted force on his hand: "This is left to me by Qiao Qin, the eldest daughter of Qiaofu, when he first entered Xuzhou that day, he settled in his own house, Mr. Zijing dares to say that he has never seen this thing?" ”
"If it weren't for the envoy's reminder, I really wouldn't have remembered, yes, yes, the white jade flute that Miss Qiao Qin was carrying with her at that time."
Liu Lan sneered: "Zijing, I hope you don't lie to me again, and don't play sloppy for some people, since I came to your house, I naturally got the news, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the liberty to come to the door." ”
"Understood, understood."
"I know what you think, don't look down on me with this little person, but don't forget that although Dongcheng is close to Yangzhou, it is a county in Xiapi after all, although there are many people in your house, there will be no more county soldiers in the county, so ah, whether it is for your own life or the wife and children in the family, you better not think too much, otherwise I will take off your head as soon as possible!"
"Don't dare, even if you borrow my guts, you don't dare to do such a rebellious thing."
Liu Lan stretched out his hand like Xuzhou again, but this time he handed over a wanted notice, pointed to the portrait on it, and said to Lu Su: "Since you know the Qiao sisters, then the man above must also know each other, this person has repeatedly assassinated me, I have posted a notice in Xuzhou to offer a heavy reward, but there is no news yet, so the third thing on my trip is to ask Zijing if you can know the whereabouts of this person." ”
Lu Su's face changed the moment he saw Zhou Yu appear on the notice, and he got rid of Liu Lan with a force in his hand, snorted coldly, and said, "I'm afraid that the envoy has found the wrong person, and I don't know the whereabouts of this person." ”
"Since Mr. Zijing said that he didn't know his whereabouts, he must not know, but Mr. Zijing, I've always been curious why you helped him three or four times, is it possible to really think that I, Liu Lan, can only find him Zhou Yu, but your hidden chess piece can't be found out anyway?"
"Liu Lan, what are you going to do?" Lu Su's eyes lit up.
Liu Lan got straight to the point and said: "I have just said very clearly, I am here to invite Mr. to come out, of course, if Mr. Zijing thinks that I am offensive to your words, please bear with me, there is no malice towards Mr. in the next, if Mr. is angry, if he does not agree to go out, Liu will not force Mr." ”
"That's how the envoy came to invite Lu?" Lu Su said angrily.
Seeing that he was angry but had to suppress his anger, Liu Lan laughed: "Zijing, it's good to know some things, I'm already good enough to be extrajudicial to you, otherwise I will really punish you for your crime by virtue of your private meeting with Zhou Yu, do you think we will still say these things in your mansion?" So you, don't worry about whether I, Liu Lan, am forcing you to come out. ”
Lu Su was so angry that his lips were blue, and he had also practiced martial arts, just now Liu Lan grabbed the strength of Liu Lan and found out that Liu Lan's skills were above him, otherwise he would have fought with him a long time ago: "Don't you feel shameless to force your son to be honored with this despicable means?" ”
"Haha, Zijing, you should be glad that Zijing's head is still there, so you don't want to be cheap and sell well, okay, let's talk about the fourth thing."
"And a fourth thing?" Lu Su said excitedly.
"I have heard a long time ago that Dongcheng Gongmi is famous far and wide, so I came to discuss some with my son, so I can send troops to deal with Yuan Shao!"
