The 55th Round, the Battle of Chang'an (21)
Li Erhu Daoan was fighting, and suddenly a young man in white came from Pegasus in the distance.
Li Erhu Dao'an didn't fight.
Li Erhu didn't know the young man, but Dao An could know him.
Dao An couldn't help but be taken aback.
Why is Daoan so afraid?
******
Now I will tell the story of this young man in white.
The young man in white is surnamed Yu, and his name is Yu Xiaotian. His father is Yu Baoshan, who is now planning to rob Xishu twice.
Yu Xiaotian's grandfather, that is, Yu Baoshan's father, is called Yu Laozhong.
Yu Laozhong was also the prefect of Fengxiang. However, when Yu Laozhong was the prefect of Fengxiang, it was in the middle and late stages of the former Tang Dynasty.
Yu Laozhong is the prefect of Fengxiang, but he has been a lot of years. He started from his youth and continued until middle and old age.
When Lao Zhong was the prefect of Fengxiang, the world at that time was okay. At that time, the common people could also live and work in peace and contentment. The government does not collect much tax from the common people. He's happy, too. Sometimes he can also play a few games of chess with friends and family when he has nothing to do.
When Lao Zhong was the prefect of Fengxiang in middle age, it changed. At that time, the taxes collected by the government from the common people also increased year by year. Bandits and robbers also came from scratch. He's not so happy either. He barely had the time to play chess with friends and family. The government collects a lot of taxes from the people, and some of them are unwilling to pay, so he has to urge them. Bandits and robbers are even more tricky. There are bandits and robbers on the ground under your jurisdiction, and you have to go and kill them.
When Lao Zhong was the prefect of Fengxiang in his old age, it was even more not. The taxes collected by the government from the common people are increasing year by year. Bandits and robbers are also from few to many. Even there are so many bandits and robbers that the government has to work hard to suppress them, and even the government can't suppress them. In addition, there are more lawsuits filed by ordinary people. At this time, Yu Laozhong was almost too busy. If you pay a lot of taxes, you have to collect them; There are many bandits and robbers, you have to go and suppress the bandits; The common people complained, and they had to take care of it. At this time, let alone playing a game of chess with friends and relatives when they have nothing to do, and they don't even have the time to eat. Not to mention, he is often blamed by the government. The government asks you to collect taxes, but you can't collect them, so the government will blame you. There are bandits and robbers on your ground, let you suppress the bandits, you can't suppress them, the government blames it. And that's not to mention. Sometimes, ordinary people will blame. The government allows you to collect taxes, and if you collect more, the people will blame it; The common people come to complain, there are many complaints, and there are many bandits and robbers, and some things can't be managed, so the people blame them.
The world is in chaos, not only the common people have suffered, but it is also difficult to be an official.
Yu Lao Zhong said: Anyway, I'm getting older, and if I grit my teeth and persist for a few more years, I'll resign.
******
When Lao Zhong was the prefect of Fengxiang in middle age, he saw that the world would not be good in the future. The taxes collected by the government from the common people have increased year by year, but they have not decreased, and the bandits and robbers on the ground have also increased year by year, nor have they decreased. Will the world be good in the future? In this way: one day the government will collect so many taxes from the common people that they cannot afford it, forcing the common people to rebel; One day, there will be more and more bandits and robbers, so many that you can't stop them if you want to.
At this time, Yu Laozhong remembered that his grandson Yu Xiaotian was here.
At this time, Yu Laozhong wanted to send his grandson Yu Xiaotian to a place to learn martial arts. Learn literature and martial arts well to protect your home.
Yu Lao Zhong said: In this world, the idea of becoming more and more chaotic is not possible without a relatively high ability!
Yu Laozhong has two sons and two grandchildren. The eldest son is Yu Baoshan, and the second son is Yu Baoliang. The eldest son, Yu Baoshan, has a son named Yu Xiaotian. His second son, Yu Baoliang, had a son named Yu Xiaoren.
So, Yu Laozhong asked everywhere where there were masters.
Yu Laozhong wanted to find a master with very high martial arts skills and teach his grandson Yu Xiaotian.
Why is Yu Laozhong optimistic about his grandson Yu Xiaotian?
First, because his grandson was naturally powerful and intelligent; Second, his grandson Yu Xiaotian is also the most suitable in terms of age. His grandson Yu Xiaotian is in his teens, and it is a good time to start studying.
Yu Laozhong is the prefect, of course, it is very easy for him to inquire where there are masters.
Soon, Yu Laozhong inquired that there are two of the most capable people in the world. One is a master of Taoism, called an oriental saint, and the other is a master of Buddhism, called Puxuan Zhenren.
This Buddhist Puxuan Zhenren is Dao'an's teacher.
******
On this day, Yu Laozhong visited the Oriental Sage and Puxuan Zhenren.
Yu Laozhong first found Puxuan Zhenren.
After Yu Laozhong found Puxuan Zhenren, he told Puxuan Zhenren his thoughts.
After Puxuan Zhenren understood Yu Laozhong's intention, he said to Lao Zhong: "I have a rule for accepting apprentices, as long as I agree to my regulations, I can accept anyone." ”
Yu Laozhong said: "What regulations? ”
Pu Xuan Zhenren said, "My apprentice must be a monk. ”
This stumped Yu Laozhong.
Puxuan Zhenren means: If you want me to accept your grandson Yu Xiaotian as an apprentice, you must let your grandson Yu Xiaotian become a monk. To become a monk is to be a monk. If you become a monk, you will not be able to marry a wife and have children in the future.
Yu Lao Zhong said: I let my grandson Yu Xiaotian become a monk, where can I do it! I want my grandson to become a monk in Xiaotian. I can't live with my grandson Yu Xiaotian, and I can't live with my son Yu Baoshan!
Yu Laozhong shook his head.
Pu Xuan Zhenren said: "Donor, please forgive me. We monks have always swept the floor without harming the lives of ants, cherished moths and gauze lamps, and did not covet red dust. The donor wants me to be contaminated with red dust, but naturally I can't. ”
Yu Laozhong said: "I want my grandson Yu Xiaotian to learn martial arts to protect myself." You can't ....... ”
Yu Lao Zhong said: You can't be accommodating?
Pu Xuan Zhenren said: "Donor, if your grandson is a person in the red dust, if I accept your grandson, I will be contaminated with the red dust." ”
What Pu Xuan Zhenren means is: We monks have never been contaminated with red dust. We will not be contaminated with anything that touches the red dust.
So, what is "red dust"?
The "red dust" that Pu Xuan Zhenren refers to refers to some people and things outside his temple. At that time, Buddhism called some people and things inside his temple "Buddhism", or there were other names, called some people and things outside his temple, called "red dust".
"Not contaminated with red dust" means not to provoke people outside his Buddhism. If you ask me to accept whom, who is a person in the Buddhist gate, eating fasting and reciting the Buddha in the Buddhist gate, it's okay; If you ask me to accept anyone, who is a person in the red dust, it will not work. Because in the red dust, there may be fights, and there may be fights and killings.
Yu Laozhong thought for a while: yes.
Pu Xuan Zhenren said again: "Donor, presumably you won't send your grandson here to learn martial arts for no reason, right?" Presumably you have something to think about in the red dust, so you want to send your grandson here to learn martial arts, right? ”
Yu Laozhong nodded: "Yes." ”
Pu Xuan Zhenren said: "Donor, please forgive me. ”
Yu Laozhong said: "Okay. ”
Yu Laozhong took his leave.
******
After Yu Laozhong returned from Puxuan Zhenren, he was worried.
Yu Lao Zhong said: If I find an ordinary teacher for my grandson, my grandson will definitely not learn any real skills, but I have to find someone like Pu Xuan Zhenren, and others have such conditions.
At this time, someone said to Lao Zhong: "Grandpa, Puxuan Zhenren can't do it, isn't there still an Oriental Sage?" Didn't we ask you about two masters? ”
Yu Laozhong said: "The Oriental Sage is also enough. I've inquired a long time ago, and Puxuan Zhenren and the Oriental Sage are very good. It seems that the conditions of the Eastern Sage are similar to those of Pu Xuan Zhenren. ”
Someone persuaded Yu Laozhong: "If you don't go, how do you know?" ”
Yu Laozhong said: "I think, it's the same whether I go or not. ”
Later, after repeated persuasion from everyone, Yu Laozhong decided to go to the Eastern Sage.
Yu Laozhong also wants his grandson Yu Xiaotian to have a good teacher. Yu Laozhong didn't want to miss any possible opportunity.
Yu Laozhong met the Oriental sage, and then he learned art in Xiaotian. >
