Everyone ate and drank and chatted at the same time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After Xu Hongru toasted Li Ruobing with a glass of wine, he suddenly said: "Elder Li, you and I are far away from our hometown and have come to Jingshi, I'm afraid it has been decades!" ”

Li Ruobing said: "Yes, it's been some years. ”

Xu Hongru continued: "In the thirtieth year of Wanli, you founded the Caring Hall in Jingshi, and I founded the Wenxiang Association in Waicao, the two organizations have fought against each other since their establishment, and I don't know how many brothers have died, to be honest, I am really tired. ”

Li Ruobing replied lightly: "Oh? Why didn't I see it? ”

Xu Hongru shook his head and said: "Elder Li smiled, this time he invited Elder Li to come here to discuss, Xu Mou was also sincere, he only brought two female dependents in the meeting, and none of the other brothers in the meeting came, can't you see this?" ”

Li Ruobing seemed absent-minded, took a bite of the dish, and said, "Well, it does seem to be very sincere." ”

Xu Hongru said solemnly: "I can't hide it, this time we discussed, I hope that from now on, the care hall and the smelling incense will stop the clumsy sword soldiers, and never fight each other again, and peace is precious." If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid we will only cheapen other small gangs such as Citigroup and Thirty-six Dao. ”

Li Ruobing was noncommittal and said, "It sounds very reasonable. ”

At this time, Liu Zixiao seemed to be impatient, and interjected: "Master Xu, since your association is so sincere and sincere, why did you meddle in the dispute between my hall and the commander of the Pure Army, Liu Chao, and kill Qin Feng, the master of the north hall of my hall?" ”

Xu Hongru was stunned when he heard this, and said, "How can I say this, when will I kill your Beitang Hall Master Qin Feng again?" ”

Liu Zixiao snorted coldly: "What, dare you dare to do it?" No wonder, this is very much in line with your way of smelling and being secretive. He was extremely angry, and he did not hesitate to speak sarcastically.

The atmosphere at the banquet was suddenly a little awkward.

Ding Mengyao hurriedly said: "Why did Hall Master Liu say this, we admit that we have had a relationship with Liu Chao, the governor of the Pure Army, but it is just some ordinary friendships, how can we meddle in the dispute between Guitang and him?" There must be a misunderstanding in this, and I hope that Hall Master Liu will find out carefully. ”

Xu Hongru also answered: "What Meng Yao said is right, I, Xu Hongru, dare to guarantee with the head of the item, there is no such thing, it must be framed by others." ”

Li Ruobing saw that Xu Hongru's words were sincere, and he didn't seem to be cheating, and he hesitated in his heart, could it be that someone else killed Qin Feng?

But he couldn't fully believe his words, and said with a smile: "Since Lord Xu said that there is no such thing, I think it must be done by others, and he deliberately does this, wanting to provoke our two families to fight again, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

Xu Hongru slapped the wine table and said, "What Elder Li said is very true, someone must have deliberately provoked it." Hmph, don't worry, Elder Li, this matter will be handed over to us to be dealt with by the Smelling Fragrance Society, I will definitely find out who killed Qin Feng and give Elder Li an explanation. ”

Li Ruobing said: "That's not necessary, we care about such important matters, we care about the hall will deal with it, and He Laoxu will personally take action." ”

Xu Hongru said to himself: "Why is Elder Li so outside, you shoot, I shoot, it's not the same thing." ”

Li Ruobing said lightly: "Master Xu is so enthusiastic today, and he wants to help him vigorously, it doesn't seem to be in line with your usual style!" "Since the confrontation between the Caring Hall and the Wenxiang Association, in the "Red Pill Case" and "Moving the Palace Case" in the last years of Wanli, Xu Hongru seems to have changed his temper today, which naturally makes him difficult to understand.

Xu Hongru frowned when he heard this, drank a cup of rhubarb, and said, "Why does Elder Li always refuse to believe me." Xu has repeatedly stated that this time it is indeed sincere, and he wants to resolve grievances with the care hall, put down the knife and gun, and no longer compete with each other. ”

Li Ruobing smiled slightly, looked at him and said: "Master, it's not that Li Mou doesn't want to coexist peacefully with your association, I care about the brothers in the hall and your incense smelling society, fighting for decades, many people have formed an indissoluble deep hatred, either your brother died in the hands of his brother, or his brother-in-law died in the hands of your brother-in-law, you talk about it, is it possible for us to live in peace?" ”

This is true, since the battle between the Caring Hall and the Smelling Fragrance Society, I don't know how many people have died, and the old grudges and feuds on both sides can be resolved if they are resolved.

Xu Hongru sighed when he heard this, and said, "When is the time for retribution, that's why I came to you to discuss this time." ”

Li Ruobing said: "Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

Xu Hongru continued, and said: "I don't know if Elder Li knows, the purpose of my incense smelling club has always been to purify sentient beings and help the world, not what some ordinary people in the rivers and lakes say, what kind of cult and chaotic party to deceive the world......"

Li Ruobing didn't expect him to talk about the universal concept of smelling incense, and while eating and drinking, he nodded his head to show that he was listening.

"In today's world, there are Jurchens and Mongols coveting the outside, and there are endless party strife and disasters inside, which can be described as a critical time for survival." Xu Hongru continued to talk eloquently and said, "But what are those court ministers, princes and nobles doing in the court? They are fighting with each other and seeking personal gain, where do they put the world's leaders and common people in their hearts? No one took care of the famine in Shaanxi and Shanxi, no one managed the floods in Shandong and Henan, no one resettled the displaced people in eastern Liaodong, and the imperial court in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian was even more powerless. ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to be emotional, threw the chopsticks in his hand forward, and said, "Is this still a great tomorrow that works for the benefit of the people and puts the people first?" ”

Li Ruobing listened quietly and didn't say a word.

Xu Hongru said: "Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven and Mingjun have known that the people are precious and people-oriented, but now, the world is full of trouble, and the people are not happy. Today, not only can we not quell the rebellion, but we have also repeatedly increased taxes on the people, making it difficult for the people of the world to make a living and displaced......

This is the foundation of the imperial city, at the foot of the world, he actually said such a thing, and everyone at the banquet was suddenly shocked and speechless.

After a while, Li Ruobing broke the silence and said, "Then according to the opinion of the master, what should I do?" ”

Xu Hongru sighed: "I really don't hide it from the old man, I secretly think that all livelihoods should be people-oriented and people-oriented." The world is big, not the imperial land, all living beings are equal, and they are all good karma. No one is born a general prince, and no one is born a slave pariah. After a pause, he said, "Elder Li should know the Jesus Church in Jingshi, their heavenly doctrine of 'firmly believe in virtue', 'love the Lord', 'ask for forgiveness of sins', 'be humble and virtuous' and other chapters, are all beneficial to the country and the people, and the idea of the association is secretly close to the same, and there is mutual benefit, so only when the people of the Ming Dynasty are in awe, watch and help each other, and help each other, can we truly achieve the harmony of the world and eliminate disasters!" ”

When Li Ruohai heard this, he was calm on the surface, but there were waves in his heart.

Xu Hongru's words are in line with what Ye Xianggao, Xu Guangqi and others say on weekdays, which involves the disturbances between Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and foreign sects in the late Ming Dynasty, which has always been complicated and difficult to explain, but I didn't expect that the Smelling Fragrance Society was also influenced by many Jesuits.

However, it is no wonder that since the Jesuits were introduced to the Ming Dynasty in the Wanli period, they initially won over the Ming Dynasty's scholar group, hoping to use the power of Confucianism to preach and carry the Tao, and vigorously refute the concepts of Buddhism and Taoism, and erect the banner of exclusive respect for God.

However, with the gradual expansion of the church's power, some of the Jesuits' views of "equality between men and women" and "monogamy" had a strong conflict with the Confucian "Three Principles and Five Constants" and "respecting teachers and worshipping ancestors", which led to the rejection and rupture between Confucianism and the Jesuits. However, the forces of Buddhism and Taoism have gradually developed some commonalities with Jesuit thought, and they are no longer as "warding off evil spirits" and "breaking rebellion" as they were at the beginning, although there are still conflicts and antagonisms, but they are far less intense than before.

Nowadays, the Fragrance Smelling Association is a local church that worships the Buddha and the Buddha's mother, and it is understandable that Xu Hongru can say this.

……

Inside the care hall, Sun Yueling was waiting anxiously in the courtyard.

He practiced the magic stick sealing method over and over again, as if he wanted to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart. After he joined the care hall and the first match between the Smelling Fragrance Society, Li Ruobing actually did not send him to participate, which shows that his strength is not enough to take on major matters and cannot contribute to the church.

He was depressed in his heart, and danced wildly, urging the Sealing Demon Stick Method with his emotions, only stirring up the sand and stones in the courtyard to fly all over the sky, and he didn't realize that two people had been watching from the side for a long time.

"I didn't expect Brother Sun's stick technique to be quite good!" It was Li Liemei who spoke, Li Ruobing went to Qipan Street to attend the meeting, naturally he didn't take his daughter with him, and Li Liemei had nothing to do in the hall, so he wandered around the hall, and happened to meet Lao He, the steward in the hall, so he pulled Lao He to watch him practice sticks.

Lao He is over fifty years old, of medium stature, the hair under the square scarf and the three locks of long beard under the chin are neatly combed, and the purple robe on his body is also neatly washed and straight, revealing a shrewd energy, at this time, the interface said: "This kind of stick method is very similar to the stick method of a friend I met in Sichuan in my early years, but there are many differences, especially this Sun brother seems to be using the senses to urge the stick momentum, and the stick gesture to trigger the senses, which is under the traction of each other, it is bound to become more and more crazy and difficult to control......

Sun Yueling was originally in a state of chaos in his mind, but when he heard Lao He's words, he was shocked, regained his clarity, stood leaning on a stick, turned to Lao He, and asked, "The friend the manager has made is not surnamed Yuan?" ”

Lao He twisted his beard and said: "Yes, it is Yuan Hongdao of Baishi Mountain City, I think Brother Sun's stick method is very similar to him, are you his disciple?" Although he knew that Sun Yueling was from Baishi Mountain City, he didn't know that Yuan Hongdao passed on his stick method, but he saw that his stick method was somewhat similar to Yuan Hongdao's, and guessed that he might be Yuan Hongdao's apprentice.

Sun Yueling said: "I am not a disciple of Yuan Lao's Dharma Protector, but I was just instructed by him to teach martial arts and raise some mazes. Then he sighed and said, "Yuan Protector has gone immortal." ”

Lao He also sighed: "It's a pity...... Hongdao my friend, chivalrous and courageous, and upright, I have always admired it very much, but I died at the hands of Chongding League. "The fact that Baishi Mountain City helped Mao Wenlong to conquer Zhenjiang has been reported to Jingshi at this moment, and Yuan Hongdao and other famous people in the mountain city died in Liaodong, which also shocked the Concern Hall.
