Chapter 269: Have mercy on me, and the world has a lot of sorrows
Hearing this, Wang Shen felt a stirring in his heart: Pity me and the world has a lot of sorrows, isn't this the scripture in the Mingzun Sect, is it the Manichaean people?
He hurriedly looked over, but saw a group of mermaids walking into the shed from the outside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are six people in total, some old and some young, all of them are born with strength and strength, and they are full of wind when they walk. They had bulging pockets on their waists, apparently hiding weapons, and their hands were full of thick calluses, which looked like they had been holding weapons for a long time.
But the man who spoke seemed to be very sick, his face was pale, and his cheekbones were raised high by the disease. As soon as he entered the shed, he walked straight towards Wang Shen.
It's only ten miles away from Dingzhou, and the Manichaeans come and go as if they were in a no-man's land, and Li Cheng doesn't know how to do it?
Wang Shen saw that he had found him, and pretended to be stunned: "Is this little brother talking to me?" As he spoke, he glanced around with a feigned inadvertentness.
The shed is small, with only two small square tables. When six people came in, four of them took one. But the sick man stood before him another man who seemed to be a guard.
Not to mention the sick man, the other five people look like battle-hardened hands. If there is a fight later, Wang Shen is naturally not afraid of one-on-one, but if the other party rushes up, he is only afraid that he will not be able to please.
The sick man smiled and nodded: "This place is too narrow, can I squeeze it here for you?" ”
Seeing that the situation is sinister, the guards do not know where they are now. Wang Shen was worried, but his face was calm, and he nodded: "When you go out, it's convenient for each other, little brother, please take a seat." ”
The sick man thanked him, sat down with his companion, and then coughed lightly, and said, "I heard that the accent of the eldest brother is not from Hunan, but I don't know who he is, and why did he come to Dingzhou?" ”
"Little brother, is this checking my household registration?" Wang Shen smiled: "Look at your appearance as a local villager, yes, it is also your responsibility to investigate suspicious people and keep Sangzi safe." To tell you the truth, I am a northern refugee, and I have fled all the way south since Jingkangnian, and I ran to Dingzhou without paying attention. ”
The guard next to the sick man glared: "Don't pay attention, you came by chance, don't go anywhere else, just come to us, don't know that there has been a battle here for a long time, I think you are not small!" ”
Wang Shen smiled sarcastically: "Now where is there no war in the world, duckweed wanders without roots, and floats wherever it goes, what can I do with my mustard-like character?" ”
Sick man: "Be vigorous, don't be rude." Listening to this is the eldest brother's words and talking is also elegant, presumably not an ordinary person, and ask for a name. ”
Wang Shen: "It's just an ordinary person, my name is Gan Lin, a native of Yanjing." ”
The man named Dali sneered: "It turned out to be a Liao dog." ”
"The Han people of Liaodi, not the Khitan." Wang Shen explained.
The sick man coughed a few more times, and coughed so much that tears came out: "Since you are a man of the Han family, you must be unwilling to be a slave of a foreign race, so you fled to the south?" Seeing Wang Shen nodded, he sighed again: "I think that at the beginning, Jingkang was ashamed, and the Jurchens surrounded Kaifeng, and I also organized the township to go to Henan to serve the country with my eldest brother." It's a pity that I was stopped by the local officials halfway through, and instead of encouraging them, they asked me about the crime of gathering all sentient beings, hey, the affairs of the state are all in the hands of the magistrates. ”
Hearing him say it, the others nodded at the same time: "Yes, the dog officer is hateful!" ”
The sick man looked up at Wang Shen: "Brother Gan, I see your speech and demeanor, you must be a capable person." If there is chaos today, if you really have the ability, where is not the place to live. Great husband, walking in heaven and earth, why lament? ”
At this time, Xiao Er lifted the door curtain and hung it on the door hook, and the golden sunlight projected in, and Wang Shen saw the appearance of this sick man clearly.
This man was about twenty-four or five years old, of ordinary stature, and looked thin compared to a group of strong men. In addition, he was so sick that he only had a handful of bones left, and it looked like he could be blown down by a gust of wind.
He coughed heavily, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked unusually haggard.
Wang Shen said generously: "That's right, I was able to escape here from the north, I have a lot of strength and know some guns, otherwise I would have died in the rivers and lakes." However, I am just an ordinary person, and I just want to find a place to live and live for the rest of my life. The so-called chaotic people are not as good as peace dogs. I just hope to continue to the south and find a peach blossom source. Over the years, I've seen enough of life and death, and I'm tired. What Top Gun, what big husband's ambition, what does it have to do with me? I just felt that the road ahead was boundless, so I sighed. ”
He likes to eat, but he doesn't pay attention to clothes. Every day, a white-washed linen shirt looks like a wanderer who has fallen to the end of the world.
"Understandable, understandable." The sick man has a composure that is not commensurate with his age: "People want to live comfortably, but what about going south, it is different from the troubled times everywhere." Even if there are no rogues and bandits, there is no expropriation and tyranny by the government, life in the world is suffering, it is a kind of torture. ”
Wang Shen: "All living beings are suffering, but they still have to live." ”
Sick man: "The road ahead is difficult, you can't get out." ”
"If you can't do it, you have to go."
"What a strong man." The red light in the sick man's eyes was sheng, and when he saw Wang Shen's eyes, there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and he coughed again: "Brother Gan, this Hunan is the territory of Manichaeism, you go all the way, if someone invites you to join the Fa, what do you think?" ”
Wang Shenyileng: Are these cultists going to invite me to join the gang, and what do they like about Lao Tzu?
Wang Shen: "But I don't understand." He smiled and said deliberately: "It sounds like this Manichaeism is a Taoist temple or a monk, although I am older, I still want to get married and have children?" I don't want to shave my head, the green lantern ancient Buddha will be for a lifetime. ”
Hearing him say this, several other people showed anger on their faces.
The sick man smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Gan doesn't know much about the Mingzun Sect, so it's no wonder." ”
"I've only heard of Fang La, wasn't he later suppressed by the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty?" Wang Shen asked again: "Could it be that you are from the Mingzun Sect, by the way, after talking for so long, you haven't asked for the name of the little brother." ”
Sick man: "My surname is Liu, but I am not from the Mingzun Sect." Aren't we full of Mingjiao clubs here, and we know a little bit about it. ”
"Oh, please."
The sick man surnamed Liu said slowly: "Brother Gan, before the war, I also knew a few Ming Sect disciples, and I heard them talk about the doctrine. This religion was created by the Persian sage Mani by the inspiration of the Great Light King, and then introduced to the Uighurs, and in the third year of the Great Calendar of the Tang Dynasty, at the request of the Hui, Mani Monastery was established in Jianghuai and other places......"
“…… Everything in heaven and earth can be summarized into two types: good and evil...... Good is light, evil is darkness, and light will triumph over darkness, and if mankind follows the truth of heaven and earth and the will of God, it will eventually lead to a bright and blissful world. And since the beginning of time, light and darkness have intersected, and the demons have been in the dark world, and the chaos is endless, so that the world today is still confused with good and evil, so people should strive to be good, so as to create a light world......"
As he spoke, he coughed, his eyes brightened: "Brother Gan, what do you think of the teachings of the Mingzun Sect?" ”
Wang Shen was harassed by the underground church when he was on the subway in the later life, what kind of tongue has never seen the lotus, and it is only after believing him that he will see the hell.
He smiled and shook his head: "I don't understand, it sounds more Tai Chi Yin and Yang Five Elements, how can I understand it as an ordinary person." ”
Sick man: "What if someone brings you into the Cult?" ”
"If you don't do it, you can't eat meat, the king of heaven can't do it." Wang Shen shook his head, being entangled by this sick man is indeed a headache. However, you can't turn your face with him yet. Stabilize this sick man with words first, and only the guards will talk.
The sick man suddenly sighed: "Brother Gan, is it really that important to eat meat?" In fact, oral desire is just an obsession in our hearts, and enjoyment such as eating meat is just our desire. Desires can be suppressed through cultivation, and only when we can get rid of the shackles of physical desires can we be completely liberated, so that we will not be troubled by the troubles of the world. ”
"Don't explain the Zun Sect, even if it is two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, don't you have to cultivate your mind and abstinence? As far as eating is concerned, there is not a saying that says, "It's worse than medicine" or "This food is as bad as taking medicine." Isn't the so-called rice a medicine to cure hunger? Good medicine can be bitter. ”
Wang Shen burst out laughing: "This statement is also interesting, but I still want to eat meat." I'm so cheesy, and I don't want to become an immortal or a Buddha. As he spoke, he picked up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks and chewed it in a big gulp.
The man called Dali was angry, and he was about to take the case.
The sick man waved his hand to stop him, and sighed again: "Speaking of the doctrine of Mingjiao, Manichaeism wants to create a paradise on earth where everyone is equal and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. Over the years, the government, local tyrants and inferior gentry have oppressed the people, and everyone has suffered a lot. Think about it, if everyone loves each other, everyone is a brother and sister, and the world of equality of all beings appears in front of our eyes, what kind of merit and what kind of pure land is that? ”
"Isn't this kind of cause worth our dedication to?"
"Devoting ourselves to such a cause makes our life meaningful. How can food, clothing, things outside the body, and even fame and fortune be compared with such a career? ”
When the sick man said that he was emotional, he coughed even more.
His face was flushed, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his face was distorted.
Looking at the golden sunlight outside, I don't know why, Wang Shen's heart suddenly felt a chill: This sick man is really a Manichaean person, what a terrible fanatic!
The sick man didn't speak anymore, but looked at Wang Shen expectantly.
The other five also gave him sharp gazes.
