Chapter Twenty-Three: The World Changes Fast

"Wooing the Warrior Monks?" Yun Qi chewed on the word, it was a new word that he had never heard before, and the literal word was easy to understand, it was a group of warrior monks who specialized in crusading against the Japanese Invaders, but shouldn't the monks be chanting scriptures behind closed doors? Why did you run out and fight the pirates?
Seeing Yun Qi's puzzled face, the monk couldn't help but smile, and was about to explain, when suddenly the door was dark, and a tall figure walked in. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The young monk in the room saluted the great monk who came in and said, "Master is here. ”
The tall monk sighed "hmm", saw that Yun Qi woke up, his face was happy, he hurriedly took two steps closer, and asked with concern: "Donor, are you awake?" ”
Yun Qi knew that this monk was taking the lead, and when he thought that his life was saved by others, he wanted to struggle to sit up so that he could thank him in person, but he didn't want to feel that his back seemed to crack as soon as he moved, so he couldn't help but lay on the bed again.
The tall monk was also taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't move, you have a knife wound on your shoulder and back, and I have already given you medicine, but don't break it again." ”
The big monk stepped forward and lifted the list on Yun Qi's back, looked at the wound, frowned, the wound turned out to be bleeding, just now Yun Qi struggled, and a little blood oozed out, although it was not much, but it was still cracked, the big monk had to deal with it again, and then it would be covered on Yun Qi's body, and said with concern: "Don't move, if you need anything, you can tell Hui Ke, take care of the wound first." ”
The sharp pain just now, so that Yun Qi's eyes almost blackened, lost his thinking, as the pain gradually receded, his thinking began to clear, Yun Qi smiled apologetically at the great monk, and said: "Master, the kid thought that this time he was dead, but he didn't expect this life to be saved by you, the great grace is not grateful, the so-called grace of dripping water, should be reciprocated with a spring, if the master has orders in the future, as long as the kid can do it, he will obey." ”
The great monk smiled, waved his hand and said: "Doing good is the duty of the monk, the so-called saving people's lives, winning the seventh-level Buddha slaughter, you don't have to take it to heart, this is also my own accumulated merit, if you want to reciprocate, then it is not the monk's original intention." ”
Yun Qi looked at the big monk, his heart was very moved, when the big monk jumped down from the house, like a tiger descending the mountain, the momentum was extraordinary, at that moment, Yun Qi only thought of those giant spirit gods at the gate of the temple mountain, but at this time, the monk stood in front of him with a kind face, his face was full of smiling expressions, and his two eyes revealed all care and clarity, without the slightest fierceness, a compassionate monk's appearance, I really doubt that what I saw before was real, or just a dream of Nan Ke?
No, the wounds on my body are still there, everything is real.
Yun Qi asked respectfully: "I don't know what the master is called, the kid can't even know the name of the life-saving benefactor." ”
The great monk waved his hand, and did not answer, but just stretched out his hand, put it on Yun Qi's vein, and then let Yun Qi stretch out his tongue, after observing it, he turned around and walked back to the table, took out a piece of paper, wrote some words with a brush, and then gave the paper to the monk named Hui Ke: "Hui Ke, this little benefactor's body is not in any serious condition, but he has lost more blood, and he will be cured in a few days, you wait to send him to the nearest Yunyin Temple, where the presiding master Lu Jue has some connections with this sect, and will definitely take good care of him. This is a prescription for blood and qi, and you ask Master Lu Jue to take the medicine according to this prescription. I and the others will continue to chase after the widows, and if it is a moment too late and we don't know how many people have suffered, then after you have delivered them, we will quickly catch up with them along the mark we have left. ”
Monk Hui Ke took the prescription, folded his hands, and agreed.
The big monk turned to the bedside again, and said to Yun Qi: "Little donor, the poor monk should have taken care of you for a few more days, and then left after you recovered, but now that the widows are in turmoil and the world is not quiet, I must rush there as soon as possible, and I ask the donor to understand." ”
After speaking, he called out the Buddha horn to Yun Qi and turned away.
Yun Qi watched in a daze as the great monk walked out of the door and disappeared outside the door, there were countless questions in his heart, and there were countless words of gratitude, but they all came to his lips, but he didn't know how to open his mouth.
Hui Ke also followed the great monk out, and after a while, he walked into the house again, and said to Yun Qi apologetically: "Donor, I want to carry you to the car outside, it may hurt you, you bear with it." ”
Yun Qi smiled lightly and said, "Even if Master does it, you have saved my life, what is this pain!" ”
Hui Ke bent down, stretched out one hand from Yun Qi's chest, and the other hand was held up to the upper part of the knee, and as soon as the two hands exerted force, Yun Qi Ping was held up, his face did not change, his breath did not grow, and his hand strength was really amazing.
Yun Qi exclaimed, "Master is so strong. ”
Hui Ke smiled humbly and slowly walked out of the door, where a cart was parked with a bed of cotton wool, which was relatively shabby, but very clean and tidy.
Huike gently placed the cloud flush on top of the board car and adjusted the orientation.
Yun Qi suddenly raised his head and said, "Master Hui Ke, I have some silver taels in my bag, can you leave a little for this family, after all, I soiled their bed and took away his car." ”
When Hui Ke heard this, he not only glanced at Yun Qi appreciatively, but also recited a Buddha name in his mouth, and then took a piece of broken silver from Yun Qi's bag and put it on the family's table, and then walked out.
"Donor, Master asked me to tell you, we borrowed your donkey first, we also injured a few people in the battle last night, we need to go to the nearest city to buy some medicine, wait for two days, naturally someone will send the donkey to Yunju Temple, without your consent in advance, please don't be surprised."
Yun Qi waved his hand and said, "The master is too polite, just take it." ”
Hui Ke hung a rope around his neck, adjusted the length again, and then tied the two ends to the handle of the cart, and then got together, pulled up the cart, and walked out.
It was still the same small village, still empty, and there was not a sound around it, only the creaking sound of the wooden wheels of the carts rolling on the stone road.
Finally saw the sun again, and returned to the world, Yun Qi's heart was full of joy, he took a long breath, the air was full of sweet smell, and the sun no longer felt poisonous and terrible, shining on his body, hot, Yun Qi liked this feeling, it was good to be alive.
The cart squeaked and walked hoarsely, Yun Qi shook on it, he could only see Hui Ke's back, Hui Ke should not be very old, but his body was half a head taller than himself, and he was stronger, this is a person who doesn't like to talk much, but he has a pure heart, Yun Qi can see from his eyes, this is a person who has no wit and no conspiracy.
"Master Hui Ke, which temple are you from?" Yun Qi leaned on the cart and asked, since the great monk refused to answer his own question, then he slowly found the answer.
"Lingyin Temple." Hui Ke replied succinctly.
"Lingyin Temple? Isn't that in Hangzhou? How did you get here? Yun Qi was surprised.
"The donor knows about Lingyin Temple!" Hui Ke seemed to be very happy that others knew about their temple, and said happily: "Now it's not the Japanese Invaders, when we are in the temple, every day we see believers from many places come to burn incense, pray for peace, saying that the hometown has been plagued by the Japanese Invaders, and the government has no way to deal with these Japanese Invaders, saying that the Japanese Kou are strong in martial arts, and they come and go without a trace, so we have several temples in Hangzhou united to form a warrior monk group, since the government can't deal with it, then our Buddhism comes to deal with it, and it is the Buddhist morality to punish the evil and promote the good." ”
Fighting the Japanese with Buddhist disciples? Although Yun Qi had guessed it before, he still felt a little awkward in his heart when he heard Hui Ke's answer.
At the beginning, the so-called Japanese were actually dressed up by fishermen in Fujian and Zhejiang, and there were some Japanese and even Franco, who smuggled goods by force, and when business was bleak, they would make a cameo appearance as a pirate and rob fishing boats at sea or villages on shore.
Later, there were some special people who made a living from looting, such as Chen Sipan, who felt that since smuggling and robbery had to take risks, and those caught would be killed, it was better to rob, because this was much more crisp and direct. Yun Qi knew that there were countless pirates along the coast, large and small, who also specialized in robbery and trading, but they always dressed themselves up as robbers when they acted.
And now, due to the struggle throughout Japan, the Warring States Period, the Hou all day long, countless peasants, samurai, merchants are wrapped in the war, become soldiers, defeated soldiers often have nowhere to escape, had to cross the ocean to the Ming Dynasty, become a veritable Japanese Kou, they do not understand the language, and have no specialty, so they can only plunder along the road, become the Ming Dynasty's henchmen.
What I encountered last night was the last one.
This one is also the most terrible and the most difficult one to deal with, because most of these people are veterans left by years of war, with rich combat experience, especially those samurai, who are simply special forces among the soldiers, they have practiced martial arts since they were children, and have received strict training, it is normal for a samurai to top five ordinary soldiers, the knives in the hands of these samurai are very sophisticated, Yun Qi bought one with a lot of money when he went to Japan, I have to say that the Japanese have their own unique place in the production of knives, and their knives are not only good in steel, It also has a certain elasticity, and many samurai's swords have become family heirlooms, regarded as life, and many times, they would rather die themselves than lose the sword in their hands.
And those so-called officers and soldiers in the coastal areas of Fujian, Fujian, and Zhejiang, Yun Qi have really seen it, and they are definitely quite good at bullying the common people, but dealing with the Japanese is like an egg hitting a stone.
Due to the unique military service system of the Ming Dynasty, these soldiers must be soldiers from birth, there is no other choice, and there is no serious training after being a soldier, because the Ming Dynasty implements the hoarding system, these soldiers are farming most of the time, many people have never held a knife and gun in their lives, saying that they are soldiers, just because their household registration is written as soldiers, in fact, it is more appropriate to say that they are farmers.
Relying on such a group of people to fight against the long-tested Japanese invaders, the results can be imagined.
It's just that Yun Qi never thought that it would be a group of monks who would be able to fight with the Japanese in the end.
What's wrong with the world?
Fishermen are not fishermen, they become robbers.
Officers and soldiers are not officers and soldiers, they become farmers.
The monk is no longer a monk, he has become a warrior.
It's not that I don't understand, the world is changing too fast.
