Chapter 70: The Tomb of the Night, the Tomb of the Pure Sun
When Xie Yu arrived in Jin'an County, Liu Gaozhi, who had betrayed Sima Yuanxian, rebelled and became a veritable slave with four surnames, and this time, he led less than ten cronies to take refuge in Guangling Xiang Gaoyazhi.
Why did they rebel again? Do you want to compete with Lu Bu? Do you want to show your bravery and toughness? Otherwise, otherwise, our General Liu himself was the governor of the festival when he crusaded against Sun En, and after rebelling against Sima Yuanxian, he was honest under Huan Xuan for a while, who knew that after this King of Chu ascended the throne, he unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, and immediately glared at him angrily, and his majestic body "banged" against the wall, and it was difficult to vent the resentment in his heart.
Liu Gaozhi's bravery is known to the world, as long as the general stands on the mountain bag and roars: "Liu Sinu is invincible in the world!" ”
Absolutely no one dared to come out and fight him alone, including Liu Yu, Liu Yi, Huan Zhen, and his nephew He Wuji.
How could such a general with outstanding martial arts and good at leading troops be subordinate to others and struggle for his bright future all the time, but he struggled left and right, and he went back more and more.
This made him angry, and said to his subordinates: "The king of Chu is unpredictable, it has just begun, and he will cut my military power, and soon after, a catastrophe will come, so let's do the opposite!" ”
It's okay not to say this, it is estimated that he can live a stable life, when he said it, all the soldiers who followed him were immediately disheartened, and Liu Xi, who joined the army, reprimanded in front of him: "What you can't do is to rebel, the general was against Wang Gong in the early years, and then against the court, in the anti-Sima Yuanxian, and now he wants to oppose Huan Xuan, so repeatedly, how can he be based on heaven and earth." After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left, and his generals left one after another, and a large number of soldiers fled.
Liu Gaozhi was immediately panicked, and fled from Huiji overnight with his son Liu Jingxuan and several cronies, crossed the Yangtze River, took refuge in Guangling Xiang Gaozhi, occupied the land north of the river, and confronted Huan Xuan.
The king of Chu was shocked, disgusted like eating a fly, and issued an edict to change his name to Liu Sinu
Jin'an County
At this time, it was the beginning of March, the sun was gradually milding, and there was little shadow of famine here, and many displaced people fled here to boil salt in the fishing village by the sea to seek a way to survive.
The whole city is not large, the length and width are not out of five miles, it is a lower county, but there are indeed more than 40,000 households, more than 200,000 people, there are Lin, Huang, Chen, Zheng, Zhan, Qiu, He, Hu eight surnames during the Yongjia period, the Central Plains clan, the whole family moved here, brought advanced culture and production technology, so that the county prospered.
There is a good port outside the city of Jin'an County, the name is Dongye Port, the rise of Wu State, there are several large-scale ship bureaus, to Minyue King Wuzhu founded Minyue Kingdom, the waterway is prosperous, at that time, there are merchant ships to reach South Asia, Africa, it can be seen its heyday.
After the return of Wu to Wei and the return of Wei to Jin, frequent wars made Dongye Port slowly depressed, especially in the recent anti-thieves rebellion, burning countless ships, which frightened the people, and the few remaining ships were dragged onto land and not going to sea.
Xie Yu came with 14,000 troops to conquer the south, undoubtedly nailed into the Anxin Stone in Jin'an County, and the army was stationed in Dongye Port, just like a bridgehead, soothing everyone's wounded hearts.
Huan Shisheng, with a fair face, gives people the first impression that he is knowledgeable and gentle, with a red birthmark on his chin, dyed half of his neck, which is quite eye-catching.
Xie Yu first came to Chadao, he visited the new Taishou, the two were colleagues, before Huan Xuan entered Beijing, Huan Shisheng was an official in Jiankang, and he was basically familiar with each other, so there was not too much politeness when they met.
Huan Shi is a good wine, the wine is very poor, and the casualness and sobriety shown after drinking are completely different, just like the reception banquet when Xie Yu first entered the city, this Taishou was drunk, and after being drunk, he chanted poems against him, danced with a sword, and even tore off his clothes, and cried with a pillar in the house, this kind of demeanor surprised Xie Yu.
Although Taishou likes fine wine, but his talent is outstanding, especially good at agitation, in Xie Yu's heart, if this guy is placed in the future generations, he will definitely be a well-known speech master, with a strong voice and emotion, and reasonable, when he talks eloquently, it will naturally infect a person, undoubtedly, this kind of ability, quickly settled the chaos in Jin'an County, and showed a peaceful atmosphere everywhere.
If Xie Yu wants to show his strength in Jin'an County, or even stay for a long time, and can often land in Taipei County, the first thing he has to deal with is this Huan Shisheng.
The scale of the city of Jin'an County is not large, the circumference is not more than five miles, the two city gates connect the north and the south, there are only two criss-crossing main streets in the city, the merchants and people who do business are bustling, in the crowd, from time to time you can find the South Asian race, and even there are people who look like Ah San walking in the meantime, which makes Xie Yu very curious, after the afternoon meal, he and Xie Ju rode to the city, ready to find these people.
At this time, there is no special agency to receive these outsiders, generally in the Taishou Mansion to report, receive the pass, pay the tax, you can walk around the city at will, negotiate business, but it is strictly forbidden to go out of the city or go to other places, if you want to go, you must issue a pass from the house, you can go to other places.
The road was full of people, and the shouts came and went, and after a while, Xie Yu found a few outsiders under a restaurant, talking to a few monks.
Xie Yu stepped forward to salute, stopped talking to the other person, and looked at the person in front of him in civilian clothes, his face full of doubts.
One of them, an elderly outsider, asked in an official dialect that was not very fluent: "I don't know what is the matter with your nobles?" ”
Xie Yu heard this, smiled, was still worried about the lack of translation, now it seems that these people must have been here for many years, and they have learned Chinese well, and they are called nobles by the other party, which is obviously polite words, these people know that in this vast land, saying these two words, will get unexpected gains.
"Dare to ask where your Excellency is from?" Xie Yu said politely.
The elderly outsider looked at his companions around him, bowed his hand and said, "I don't know what happened to your nobles!" ”
Or this sentence, obviously these are full of vigilance, this dynasty is now in full swing, and prudence is the self-defense skill of these people.
Xie Yu was helpless, so he could only reveal his identity and said: "Xie Yu has seen you all in Jin'an County!" ”
Everyone looked surprised, looked at the soldiers standing behind this young man, and did not doubt it in their hearts, the outsider took the person behind him and bowed and said: "Zong (ji) Binguo, (now Kashmir) Froze. Gandhi meets Lord Thorn! ”
"The poor monk Fa Xian pays a visit to the assassin history!" Several monks next to him bowed with their hands together, and their accents were mixed with a thick northern accent.
"Fa Xian?" Xie Yu was a little surprised, he knew this historical figure, this senior monk, like Master Xuanzang, was well-known throughout Buddhism, proficient in several Chinese, had entered the North Pole, and was a great traveler. Historically, around 399, he set out from Chang'an and finally arrived at Tianzhu through more than 20 countries in the Western Regions, which is recorded in the history books, and now he is in Jin'an County to meet him, and he can't help but be a little surprised.
"Xie Yu has seen a Zen master!" He bowed.
At this time, Buddhism was quite developed, especially in the north of the Yangtze River, it was even more prosperous, starting from the Jin Yuan Emperor, the north and south were divided into two factions, the northern representative figures were Dao'an and Kumaroshi, and the southern representative figures were Huiyuan and Buddha Bhadra.
Master Huiyuan lived in Kuangshan (now Lushan), there were disciples who came to Jiankang to preach Buddhism, the eldest lady had listened to it when she was alive, and at this time Buddhism talked about metaphysics, paid attention to the external realm, and preached with self-cultivation.
And the Buddha Bhadra, is the Kapila Weiguo clan (now Nepal), this person has learned people, has the ability to remember, first in Chang'an, and then because of discord with Kumarosh, forced to go to Lushan with his disciple Huiguan and other more than 40 people, welcomed by Huiyuan, stayed in Lushan for more than a year, translated the "Dharma Dora Sutra" two volumes.
Fa Xian is over sixty years old, his eyebrows are longer than his eyes, his lips are slightly thick, and his body is thin, but his expression is shining and full of energy.
Seeing this Assassin Shi doing this great gift, Fa Xian was a little surprised and said: "Lord Assassin Shi is polite, how can the poor monk He De can, he can't stand such a big gift." ”
Xie Yu smiled and said: "I have heard that the Zen master has been to the extreme north, and there is a saying that there is a Qiu of the dark night and a tomb of pure yang, and I admire it very much in my heart!" ”
A glimmer of light flashed in Fa Xian's eyes and said, "Lord Thorn Shi can believe that there is such a place?" ”
"Faith! A friend has also been to this place, saying that the sky is full of light, dazzling, and there are white giant bears. Xie Yu said.
Fa Xian's face flashed with a look of memory, and said: "I don't want to meet the broad-minded person of Lord Thorn Shi here, the poor monk has returned from traveling, and no one believes it, I don't know who this friend's surname is?" ”
Xie Yu already had a rhetoric, saying: "I met by chance, this friend has traveled the world for the pleasure of his life, after decades, widely overseas, once said that the world is big, there is Kyushu, and the rest is the sea, I don't know where to go now, the surname is the country!" ”
"China?" Fa Xian blinked, thought for a long time before shaking his head and said: "There is such a person, it is true that he has no memory, the poor monk has not only seen the white giant bear in the extreme north, but also seen the fish as big as the mountain peak, swimming in the cold sea, very comfortable!" ”
Xie Yu knew that it was a whale, and he pulled out the name of China to make him feel funny.
"I don't know why the Zen master is here, where is he going?"
Fa Xian nodded, and said with a firm look on his face: "The poor monk is preparing to go to the country of poison, and when he hears that the friend of Lord Shi has such an experience in China, his heart yearns, and he doesn't know when he can visit, and he also asks the adult to ask him where he lives when he sees his friend, and the poor monk will definitely visit him one day!" ”
"Certainly, definitely, I don't know where this poisonous country is?" Xie Yu asked when he heard the unfamiliar name of the country.
"Oh, take a boat from the county to the southwest for ten days, cross the Zhuya, arrive at Jiaozhou, and on the second day to the south and five days to the west, you will arrive at the country of poison, and the poor monk has just heard what Froze said, so he wants to take a boat to go together!" Fa Xian said.
