(From tomorrow, the first shift time will be changed to 8 o'clock in the morning) Yang Guang thought about it repeatedly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that writing a letter to the crown prince Yang Yong was the best choice he could do at present. www.biquge.info So, he immediately got up, called the old boatman into the temple, annoyed him to help him find pen and ink in the village, took out a white silk handkerchief from his body, knelt cross-legged on the ground, and wrote a letter to the eldest brother, reminding the eldest brother to take measures as soon as possible, beware of someone in the name of Buddhism, inciting rebellion among the people in Guanzhong and Kanto.

After the letter was written, he turned around and looked at the people who accompanied him, called Yu Xiaoren aside, and explained to him the messenger who returned to Beijing to deliver the letter, although Yu Xiaoren was reluctant to leave Yang Guang's side halfway, he also knew that this matter was very important, and he could not delay for a moment.

Because of An Ruoxi, the old boatman saw Yang Guang and the others again the next day, and his attitude became much more polite, not only helped Yang Guang find pen and ink from the family of the scholars in the village, but also took the initiative to prepare a big pot of steaming millet porridge for Yang Guang and his party, and insisted that everyone have eaten in the temple before taking them to cross the river.

Yang Guang didn't want to go, touched his body, except for the powerless mobile phone that crossed with him, it was the short knife that Duan Da gave him, and there was nothing valuable to give to the old boatman as ferry money, so he reached out to Li Hun and asked for a piece of jade pendant that he wore with him and handed it to the old boatman.

The old boatman was counting on An Ruoxi, the living Bodhisattva, to be able to speak a lot of good words for his family in front of the Buddha, in order to bless his family to reunite as soon as possible, and did not want to collect their fares, and waited to take Li Hun's jade pendant in his hand and touched it, but he felt warm and greasy, and when he looked down, it was a piece of fine mutton fat white jade, although he was a little tempted, but he still insisted on returning the jade pendant to Yang Guang, declaring that he wanted the living Bodhisattva to bless his family to reunite as soon as possible, and he was willing not to receive a penny.

An Ruoxi couldn't bear to ask the old boatman to work in vain, so he stepped forward, asked for the jade pendant from Yang Guang's hand, stuffed it into his hand again, and sincerely persuaded him: "Old man, this jade pendant is also worth more than a dozen dollars, you can accept it for the time being." Since you have the heart to worship the Buddha, I think the Buddha will bless your whole family reunion. ”

For the old boatman, at this time, An Ruoxi spoke brighter than anyone else's, he held the jade pendant tightly in his palm, fell to the ground, and was about to kowtow to An Ruoxi to thank him, but An Ruoxi hurriedly held him up.

"Old man, you are very old, and I am a woman, so I can't afford to worship you. If you want to worship you, you will go to the temple to worship the real Buddha, but don't be deceived by the fake Bodhisattva. ”

When the old boatman heard this, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, either offending the living Bodhisattva in front of him, or offending the Bodhisattva who had asked him to pay the money for the Buddha, so he silently turned around and took the green donkey that An Ruoxi was riding, and led Yang Guang and his party to the Mengjin Ferry.

The old boatman rowed alone, and went back and forth on both sides of the river six or seven times, until it was past noon, and finally sent Yang Guang and his party of five people and five horsemen to the north bank of the river.

Yesterday, he was still shouting that he wanted to take the boat from the old boatman, and Zhang Xutuo, who rowed across the river by himself, looked at the tired and sweaty old boatman, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: The jade pendant was given to him as ferry money, and it was not unjust at all.

The group parted with the old boatman on the north bank of the river, turned over their horses, and walked straight to the northwest.

Because last night in the land temple listened to Jiang Tuozi's detailed analysis of the 36th folk agitation in Kanto and other places to gather in Chang'an on the eighth day of the lunar month to celebrate the Buddha's cultivation and enlightenment, Yang Guang paid special attention to this matter, so along the way, whenever he ate and played sharp, he never forgot to inquire about the local people if they had ever heard of such a thing.

After five or six days in a row, what shocked Yang Guang was that although as the old boatman said, most of the Ding Zhuang men in the Kanto and Central Plains areas were recruited by the imperial court to go to the western Xinjiang, and the people along the way were sparsely populated, and they met some old and weak women and children, but whenever Yang Guang inquired about the 36 revelations, these local people all showed great awe and obedience. Obviously, in their minds, they all regard the Thirty-Six Revelations and the Bodhisattva holding the iron pestle who recruited the Thirty-six Revelations as spiritual sustenance that can help them realize their dreams of family reunion.

Different from the Bodhisattva he heard from Yang Shangxi when he was not out of Tongguan before, the Bodhisattva who claimed to be Wei Dao Tianzun in Guandong did not directly connect the people of various places to form a gang and kill the Hu people, but he had a wider range of activities than the Bodhisattva in Guanzhong, and until Yang Guang and his party rushed to Fenzhou, which was 500 miles away from the eastern capital, they could still get information about the 36 revelations from the local people.

If Guanzhong and Kanto are the same Bodhisattva, then this person's call and incitement are also stronger; If Guanzhong and Kanto are not the same Bodhisattva, then their purpose in doing so will be the same?

Ten days later, when he rode his horse into Fenzhou City, Yang Guang was still amazed by this incident.

Because Yang Guang and others inadvertently found that there was Duan Da leading people to chase behind them in the eastern capital, they temporarily decided to change the established route, turned to the northwest, and rushed directly from the Kanto to Fenzhou, where the hussar battalion brigade must pass, according to Jiang Tuozi's estimation, when they arrived in Fenzhou, the hussar battalion should have passed Fenzhou and continued to advance in the direction of Bingzhou.

In other words, when they tossed so much, they not only fell behind the hussar battalion brigade, but at the same time, they were not as fast as Duan Da and others who went directly north from Luoyang and rushed to Bingzhou from Luzhou.

Fortunately, before Yang Guangyu quietly slipped out of Changle Post the day after leaving Chang'an, in the letter that Tuoxian Yuluo forwarded to Duan Da and Yujuluo, there were still nearly ten days to agree with them on the date of rendezvous at Lingshi on the outskirts of Bingzhou, and according to the current footsteps, they would not miss the day of rendezvous with the hussar camp at Lingshi. Yang Guang and the others rested for a while in Fenzhou City, replenished what they needed, and then set off from Fenzhou to Lingshi two hundred miles away to meet the hussar camp.

Out of Fenzhou City and continuing to the north, Yang Guang found that this place was very different from the south of Fenzhou, not only the number of pedestrians on the road had increased significantly, but most of the people north of Fenzhou had never heard of any individuals and things such as the 36 Revelations and the 18 Arhats.

Oh, it turns out that the Bodhisattva's range of activities is limited to the Central Plains area of Kanchu and Kanto.

At the same time, Jiang Tuozi and An Ruoxi were also aware of this phenomenon, but, according to Jiang Tuozi, this is likely to be the result of the former Emperor Wu conquering the Northern Qi Dynasty after the main destruction of the Buddha, the north of Fenzhou as the core area of the original rule of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the greatest force to destroy the Buddha, now the local people have no one to believe in Buddhism, how can the Bodhisattva show his magical powers?
