078 Maitreya Master
The procession and the crowd of people marched back and forth on the four main roads of Pengcheng. Yu Yong wanted to get out but couldn't find a chance, so he simply followed the crowd and walked slowly with the team.
The speed of the procession was not slow, and Pengcheng was not large, and the four main roads went around and around, and finally converged on an open area in the center of the city.
This was originally the original execution ground for the execution of prisoners, but after Yang Guang ascended the throne, the world began to be turbulent, and his energy has always been focused on foreign warfare and suppression of uprisings, and basically no prisoners have been executed. Moreover, the county and government governments in various places either fully cooperated with the imperial court to quell the rebels, or simply stayed out of the matter and ignored it.
The execution ground in Peng County is just south of the county office, next to a cluster of shops, all of which sell incense, candles, and coffins. Later, these shops did not make much money, so they moved their shops to the edge of the city, and the vacant houses have now been turned into inns and restaurants.
At this time, the second floor of these inns and restaurants was already crowded with people, looking at the center of the open space.
Probably Pengcheng's commemoration of Zhang Tianshi's activities has been around for a long time, so today Yu Yong saw that there was a circle of soldiers fully armed around the clearing, isolating the crowd of onlookers from the middle clearing.
Make room for the marching procession to get inside.
After a period of chaos, the whole team finally quieted down. At this time, Yu Yong had already been sent to the front with the tall and thin man who had been by his side, and in front of him were two soldiers with long lances.
He saw that on the high platform in the center of the clearing, three middle-aged people dressed in official mansions went up to the high platform.
The first person, the most obvious is the thick three strands of long hair floating on the chest, the face is like a heavy jujube, the sword eyebrows are starry, the height is seven feet, the arms are long and the waist is round, if he is not wearing a seven-grade civil official uniform, it is the reincarnation of a living Guan Yunchang.
He was followed by two people who were one literary and one martial, the obscene of Wen and the ferocity of Wu, and he knew by his appearance that these two must be the spokesmen of insidious and domineering.
As soon as these three people came to the stage, the soldiers immediately raised their eyebrows and told those who were still noisy to shut up, and the whole square fell silent in an instant.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the birthday of Master Zhang Tianshi, as the parents of Peng County, this official has always been very supportive of the immortals and sages of Peng County, so today the official and the county government are all present in person, and I will congratulate you on the birthday of the Heavenly Master." Fake Guan Gong smiled and whispered.
Yu Yong listened to him, saw that the people around him were applauding, and just turned his head and saw the thin and tall man again, so he asked, "Who is the adult on the stage?" ”
The tall and thin man whispered: "That's Kong County Ling Kong Gong of Peng County." I was afraid that Yu Yong didn't know who the Kong County Order was, and continued to explain: "Don't underestimate him, that is the first champion duke of the Great Sui Dynasty since the establishment of the imperial examination system!" ”
Yu Yong was really taken aback, you must know that the imperial examination system was initiated by Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian, and the previous Wei and Jin Dynasty's nine-grade Zhongzheng system did not die out until after the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
To say that this Confucian county order turned out to be the first civil official county order made by the imperial examination, the first is that his qualifications are very high, and no matter how many champions there are in the future, he must be called a young brother, this is his qualifications.
The second is surprise. It is said that the first champion should have been more than ten years since he was admitted, no matter how he said it, it shouldn't be an official position like a small county magistrate of the seventh grade, why is this person still in the position of county magistrate?
Could it be that he offended the powerful, or could he only take the exam and not become an official?
Yu Yong is a person who has followed Yu Shinan for more than ten years, not to mention learning, even if you watch it, you can watch it, people who are officials always have their own official experience, and there must be a reason why this Confucian county commander has been in a county order position for more than ten years.
After thinking about it for a long time, I was awakened by the deafening sound of gongs and drums. Looking up, Kong Xianling and his two subordinates had already gotten off the high platform and stood aside, and at this time on the high platform was a group of jugglers performing hard there.
The sound of gongs and drums and the shouts of the people came and went, and it was very lively.
Finally, when the performance was over, Yu Yong asked the thin and tall man, does this Heavenly Master's birthday hold such a big event every year? The tall and thin man kept looking at the middle of the field, just nodding casually and not speaking.
Yu Yong was too embarrassed to ask any more, and turned his gaze to the square. At this time, the jugglers in the center of the square had already retreated, and Kong Xianling appeared again, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said loudly: "This year's birthday of the Heavenly Master, not only is there juggling, but also an important guest has also come to participate, so I will invite him to come to the stage." After saying that, he leaned back slightly, and everyone looked behind him.
Just when everyone was waiting, suddenly they heard a voice that was far and near, "Maitreya was born, saving my world, there are many sufferings, worries are fruitless, and there is hope for light,
Recreate the Buddha. ”
Bursts of illusory voices gradually became real, and at first it was just the voice of one person, and gradually gathered the voices of ten people, hundreds of people, more and more loud.
Yu Yong's eyes widened suddenly, and he saw something bright red floating in the distance. If he just floated over, he wouldn't be so surprised, the key is that his gaze was very good, and he clearly saw that in the middle of the red floating over, it turned out to be a person, to be precise, a Buddha, a Maitreya Buddha.
"Immortals!" This was Yu Yong's first reaction.
There were definitely not a few people who had the same idea as him, and it could be seen that most of the people present had discovered this phenomenon that was too surprising, and then they saw someone crying and falling to the ground, one by one.
Then a large number of people were kowtowing, even the tall and thin man beside him was no exception, and he knelt down happily.
Yu Yong's knees were also a little involuntary, it wasn't that he wanted to kneel, but he was now equivalent to standing out from the crowd, because everyone around him had already knelt down, even the Kong County Order with a belly full of sage books was already prostrate there.
In the end, Yu Yong still knelt down in accordance with the trend, but his head was not lowered, but he raised it to look at the Maitreya Buddha floating in carefully.
Maitreya Buddha was dressed in a big red robe, from far and near, and stopped above the high platform. Then a loud voice came out: "The world is pitiful, this seat is here to preach the Dharma, get up!" ”
The sound of Buddha is shocking.
Yu Yong didn't believe that there were really immortals, because he hadn't seen them. But at this time, he believed that this was the birth of Maitreya Buddha.
The people did not get up and kowtowed vigorously. Or Kong County's order was more obedient, so he kowtowed directly and said: "Obey the law!" Then he got up and stood to the side.
When the common people saw that their parents and officials had risen, they also shouted to obey the decree of the law, and they got up one after another, but they did not dare to look up at Maitreya Buddha.
"Alright, all heads up." Maitreya Buddha gave the order.
The people finally saw the miraculous scene with their own eyes, Maitreya Buddha slowly fell on the high platform from mid-air, there was no need to go, just fell down steadily, and then listened to the sound of Amitabha Buddha, the red vestment was like a deflated ball, instantly wrapped around Maitreya Buddha, without a sense of abruptness.
The common people wanted to kneel down again, but Kong County ordered to salute: "Welcome to the Maitreya sect leader." ”
The people around him all shouted with him, and some ordinary people also shouted, but some people immediately wondered, isn't it Maitreya Buddha? How did you become the leader of Maitreya, isn't that the anti-thief mentioned in the imperial court announcement?
After hesitating, the Maitreya Sect Master had already spoken: "Don't be polite." Then look at those who did not bow to the people: "This seat is the messenger of Maitreya Buddha in the world, and it is here to save the suffering of the world. ”
Yu Yong belonged to one of those people who did not know Tianzun, he did not give a salute, but looked at the person behind the Maitreya Sect Master. In an instant, his eyes widened again, as he saw an acquaintance.
I don't recognize people, it is the noble son, standing at the bottom of the high platform, in the middle of a group of people wearing black and red robes, looking like a person who is not ordinary in the status of the Maitreya sect leader. Next to him were the two men in black, also in different attire.
Sure enough, yes! Yu Yong knew that his guess was correct, that noble son was really the young master of the Maitreya Sect, a thorn in the side of the imperial court.
Thinking of this, Yu Yong's worry became even worse, if the letter from Lord Yu on his body was taught by Maitreya, it might not be a big deal.
At this time, the young master had already discovered Yu Yong in the crowd, the corners of his mouth curled, and he turned his head and whispered in Uncle Yang's ear, and then saw Uncle Yang nodding, quietly leaving the team and disappearing into the crowd.
Kong Xian Ling turned around at this time and said loudly to the people: "Today is the birthday of Master Zhang Tianshi, and the Maitreya Sect Master has come to preach the Fa in person, which is really a day of great joy. In addition, the sect leader also brought great news this time, please ask the master to show it! ”
The common people are very simple, and the people who were still doubting the identity of the sect leader just now were all convinced by Kong County's words at this time, and they looked at the sect leader, waiting for the good news in his mouth.
Maitreya Sect Master smiled, and then said loudly: "Today, the son of mediocrity, favoring traitorous ministers, regardless of whether the people live or die, the heavens learned about it, and they were furious and angry, and they sent down trouble. How can the people of the common people be innocent, should not suffer from this unwarranted disaster, so God sent down this seat to save the trouble, but the suffering of the people is too much, this seat is really powerless, so God once again sent down the reincarnation of the prodigy to save the suffering, today is the day of the prodigy's birth, this seat is specially to protect the Dharma. ”
Maitreya's words were incredible, but the people opened their mouths wide and froze, and soon they knelt down again, waiting for the solemn moment of the prodigy's incarnation.
