Xue Liujia used to be a "businessman", and it was a small business, a few simple musical instruments and magic instruments, he dared to drive away ghosts and catch demons, as for whether there are really ghosts and demons in the world, he didn't care at all, Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures talked nonsense, never thought about the difference, only calculated to buy a pot of good wine after making money.

Until one day, he was hired to go to the rich man's house to exorcise ghosts, drank a few more drinks, and hurried home at night, so he was too sleepy to go into a small temple with no one and planned to take a nap.

With drunkenness, Xue Liujia squinted at the pot-bellied Maitreya enshrined in the temple, and said with a smile: "The temple is dilapidated like this, you can still laugh often, I am so poor that I jingle and make a noise, and I always laugh after a few glasses of wine, so we are all the way." Since they are all the way, they should help each other, brother, I will sleep with you for a while, don't mind? ”

Xue Liujia lay on the incense table and fell asleep, according to his own claim afterwards, he didn't even have a dream, but in the middle of the night, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Get up quickly!" ”

He refused to get up, and the voice grew louder and louder, and finally it was like thunder, and then his eyes lit up, and he saw a bodhisattva with a solemn appearance looking down on him.

Xue Liujia jumped up in shock, his feet seemed to be out of his control, and he grabbed the door and walked out of the temple, and after a few steps, the temple behind him collapsed.

Xue Liujia was so frightened that he was completely drunk, and he wondered in his heart, who was the Bodhisattva illusion that woke him up just now? There is neither a big belly nor a smile, and there is no resemblance to Maitreya.

Xue Liujia was like a demon, after returning home, he rummaged through the only Buddhist scriptures at home, but did not get any clues, and went to the nearby temple to inquire with the monk, and finally understood that what he saw in his dream was Maitreya, the real Maitreya, not the big-bellied man who spread falsehoods.

This is not much of a discovery, almost everyone who has read the Buddhist scriptures knows that Xue Liujia seems to have entered a new world, and it took him a month to read more than a dozen scriptures about Maitreya, mixing his own imagination and founding the Incarnation Religion.

At first, Huang Tieniang thought that her husband was crazy and stupid, and she was angry, so she took out the old way of grabbing the wooden stick and beating it, Xue Liujia's old method was to say good things while hiding, but after the creation of the teaching, he changed his strategy, did not dodge or dodge, and let the wooden stick fall on his head and body.

"Maitreya Buddha borrowed your hand and used this wooden stick to remove the dust of half my life."

"You don't even want to shave your hair, what kind of Buddha do you believe?"

"Shaving is the rule of Rulai, Maitreya is in power, of course it must be changed, not the same as the previous dynasty."

The two fought like this, one said, a few days later, Huang Tieniang was tired, and he also believed, handed over the wooden stick, cried bitterly and repented, and the wooden stick later became the magic stick of the incarnation king.

Several children of the Xue family have joined the church, especially the youngest daughter Jin Shao, who has been exposed to it since she was a child, and has read more scriptures than her father, but she rarely speaks, and silently follows her parents to wander around, and her faith has never been lost, but has endured for a long time.

She believes that she is favored by Maitreya Buddha, but this is a very private thing, and many allusions in the deeds, the master of the Tao is always taught privately to the most proud disciples, the master does not promote, the disciples must keep secrets, as for the master and apprentice do not speak, how the allusions spread, that belongs to the scope of "boundless mana", Xue Jinyan learned from his father in this matter, he didn't want to, didn't ask, didn't doubt.

When he was still on the north bank of Mengjin, Xue Jinyao received a revelation from his master and foresaw that Dongdu was the graveyard of the Descending Army, and someone must lead the soldiers back to their hometown in Qinzhou and start to establish the Pure Land from there.

Facing his "husband", Xue Jinyao was willing to reveal a little secret, "I foresaw you." ”

"When?" Xu Ji couldn't hold back a smile.

"When I was in Mengjin, I foresaw that a bright-eyed man would become my husband, and he would help me return to Qinzhou. My father pointed out that it was you, and I recognized it at a glance. ”

Xu Ji coughed, "You are probably homesick, the Descending Army is far away from your homeland, and many people will be homesick......

"You don't believe me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Maitreya came to the world."

Xu Ji thought for a while, "Troubled times are common, but Maitreya is not common...... It's not that I don't believe it, I have too little contact. ”

Xue Jin shook his finger at the magic stick in Xu Ji's hand, "When I agreed to marry you, my father hadn't announced that he would hand over the magic stick to you, right?" ”

"Yes."

"You can't even think of it yourself."

"Maybe the ancestor didn't expect it." Xu Ji has already seen the number of Xue Liujia's roads, that is, there is no number of roads, it is all up to improvisation.

"But I saw it, and I saw that you could help me get the magic rod."

"You just said I could help you get home."

"One thing, without the magic stick, everyone will not listen to me, you must get the magic stick before you can lead the people back to Qinzhou."

Xu Ji found himself in a predicament, and thought for a moment, "That's good, the magic stick was given to me by the ancestor himself, and I can't give it to someone else immediately, wait a few more days......"

"Tomorrow for the New Year, I have a premonition that there will be a bloody disaster, and I must leave the Eastern Capital as soon as possible."

Xu Ji really hoped that the Descending Army could leave the Eastern Capital, but not now, and he didn't believe that Xue Jinyao could persuade the people of Qinzhou to give up a large piece of fat in his hands.

Xu Ji shook his head, "No, my 'hunch' is not the same as yours. ”

Xue Jin shook the dagger from the table and stood up.

She was too tall, Xu Ji suddenly felt pressure, but she didn't back down, "If your hunch is to kill your husband and take the stick, then do it." As you said, Maitreya made you foresee me, that is, the Buddha has made arrangements for me, and if I want to die tonight, I can't go against God's will. ”

Xue Jin was stunned, she had read a lot of scriptures, but she rarely argued with others, she was short of words for a while, and put down the dagger, "You have to voluntarily hand over the magic rod, this is the master's arrangement for you." ”

Xu Ji thought for a while, "No, I don't have this 'voluntary' yet, obviously the Buddha feels that the time has not come." ”

Xue Jin frowned, "Why do I feel different from you?" ”

"If you talk to the Buddha again, maybe he didn't make it clear before, or maybe you heard it wrong."

"The patriarch's words have always been vague, and you have to understand them yourself...... Are you kidding me? ”

"Absolutely not. I'll send off the guests, and you think about it yourself. ”

Without waiting for Xue Jinyan to agree, Xu Ji turned around and walked out of the house, was blown by the cold wind, felt more and more funny, shook his head, and walked to the banquet hall, where there was endless laughter and laughter, it was the most lively time.

"Where's Uncle?" Several people came out of the shadows.

"Go and drop off guests. Why don't you drink over there? ”

Xue Xiaoyi said with a smile: "The ancestor let us watch here, so as not to disturb my uncle's joy in the cave room." ”

"It's still early, I'll go have a few more drinks."

"It's not early, uncle, go back to the cave room, the ancestor likes the golden saint the most, waiting to hug his grandson."

Xue Jinyao was called the "Holy Daughter", Xu Ji took two steps forward, and whispered: "Don't say it to the outside world, in fact, I was kicked out." ”

Xue Xiaoyi sneered, not surprised at all, "Understand, Jin Shengnu's temper...... My uncle slowly knew about it, but she was kind-hearted, and my aunt let me talk a little more, and there was no big deal. Uncle, don't go back there tonight, it's not good to be seen by relatives and friends. ”

"Then I'll just hang out here for a few laps."

"Okay, we'll block outsiders for my uncle and promise not to say anything."

"There is a general Tan Wuwei under King Jin, who is my sworn brother, can you invite him? I have a few words to say to him. ”

"The guy with the sword?"

"Yes."

"Hehe, my uncle actually worships this kind of person...... Okay, I'll find it. ”

Tan Wuwu came quickly, holding the long sword in his hand, his steps were a little shaky, it seemed that he had not drunk a lot of wine, and as soon as he saw Xu Ji, he said: "Fourth brother, I really can't wait any longer." ”

Xu Ji and Tan Wuwu circled in the courtyard, and Xue Xiaoyi followed not far behind.

"The second brother has something to say, just say it."

"Straight to the point, of course. Dongdu is a scourge, I really shouldn't ...... Alas. "At the beginning, it was Tan Wusensei who came up with the idea of a surprise attack on the Eastern Capital, but now he regrets it, "Everyone thinks that Dongdu is a treasure, and carefully holds it in their hands, but they are tied hand and foot, and they can't walk fast, and they can't hide. ”

"Please tell the second brother in detail."

"The people of the Eastern Capital fled, but it was not a rout. It is rumored that the Empress Dowager Lan has long had a departure from the two kings of Xiangdong and Jibei, and is likely to go to Yecheng in Jizhou. The Liang and Lan families held the emperor hostage, and they should have gone to Huai and Wu prefectures. The general went west, and Xi went south. From this point of view, the Tiancheng Dynasty has not perished, and there should be a counterattack. ”

"What the second brother said is extremely true."

"The eastern capital is surrounded by enemies, in the past, it was the righteous army surrounding Tiancheng, but now it is the righteous army surrounded by Tiancheng, but the righteous army does not know it, thinking that winning the eastern capital is to win the world, indulging in wine, everyone wants to take advantage of the ......"

Xue Xiaoyi, who was behind him, couldn't listen to it, and interjected: "What is General Tan talking about?" Everyone is desperate to take the Eastern Capital, can't they share some benefits? In this case, what kind of war will be fought and what kind of world will be taken? ”

Tan was speechless and refused to talk to the ignorant.

Xu Ji turned to Xue Xiaoyi and said, "This is my second brother, let's chat, General Xiaoyi just listen, don't take it to heart." ”

Xue Xiaoyi glared at Tan Wusense, "For my uncle's sake." You talk, I'll go and watch somewhere else. ”

Xue Xiaoyi didn't like to listen to this nonsense, turned around and walked to the gate of the courtyard, met with his subordinates, talked about his own affairs, and laughed from time to time.

Xu Ji returned to Tan Wuwu's side, "The kings ......"

Tan was full of thoughts, and without waiting for Xu Ji to finish speaking, he preemptively continued: "The eastern capital is located in the land of four wars, it is difficult to attack and defend, and today's plan must take advantage of victory and defeat." Tiancheng abandoned the capital, his prestige was discredited, and the righteous army would be able to respond to every call. If you wait for the remnants of Tiancheng to gain a firm foothold and change their strength, the righteous army will be in danger. ”

"Second brother, wait a minute, let me ask the kings if they are still at ease?"

"If you want to monopolize the Eastern Capital, how dare you rest assured?"

"The king of the world has taken me as a disciple and given me a divine rod, and the kings are not at ease with this?"

"How could the fourth brother be so smart in this matter? The intention of the incarnation king could not be more obvious, that is, to divide the kings. And the fourth brother doesn't think that you are the only one who has been appreciated by the incarnation king, if my guess is correct, he will definitely make a promise to all the kings...... Alas, I don't care about these things, the fourth brother first thinks about what I said about taking advantage of victory and defeat, this is the top priority. ”

"Second brother, don't worry, it's not that King Jin and I don't want to take advantage of the victory and defeat, but we can't spare our hands. Soon, we will be able to use the second brother's strategy. ”

Tan shook his head senselessly, "The righteous army is a righteous army, and the righteous army is not an army, I am afraid that something will happen in the blink of an eye." ”
