Yu Xiang released the women, went out of the house, and saw Goudan coming to the front of the house with a group of old men and women. This group of old people was disheveled, covered in blood, and looked miserable.

Goudan stepped forward and said, "Mr. Qian, they didn't say that they wanted to see you and thank you in person for saving your life." ”

These people heard the dog call Yu Xiang Qianzong, they knelt down together towards Yu Xiang, and shouted in their mouths: "Thank you for the grace of Qianzong's life." ”

A white-haired old man at the head trembled and said: "Little old man Li Qiankun kowtowed to Master Qian to apologize, the villain did not listen to the advice of Chief Mu Li and refused to cooperate, but now he has suffered this catastrophe, it is really retribution, and the villain asks Master Qian to cure the villain's stupidity!" ”

Although Yu Xiang didn't know the details, he guessed a rough idea, he hurriedly helped Li Qiankun up, and said to the others kneeling on the ground: "Everyone please get up, please get up quickly!" ”

Hearing Yu Xiang say this, these people got up one after another, these people are old people, they have just been destroyed by Zhang Xianzhong's house, even hungry and scared, plus the scorching heat, these people have signs of prostration, it is not easy to persist until now, Yu Xiang asked the dog to settle these people first, and told them to give priority to food and accommodation.

The martial arts masters on the side, such as the martial saint Ai Lianchi, the Kongkong Daoren, the Wuwei Master, the Foolish Tea Ceremony Chief, Mu Renqing and the Master of Zhiran, saw that Yu Xiang was so open-minded and humble, and they were even more amazed.

Seeing that the sun was in the west, Yu Xiang issued an order to break into the collapsed sky:

"Brother Guoneng, send a thousand people to help clean up the Loess Gang battlefield."

"Send out soldiers to be on guard! Just in case. ”

"Use Zhang Xianzhong's original camp and camp on the spot for the night."

"Yes, Mr. Chi!" Zhang Xianzhong replied neatly, and called a few of his subordinates to carry out Yu Xiang's orders.

Yu Xiang came to Zhang Xianzhong's Chinese army tent, the military tent was very wide, only to see that the tent was in a mess, some boxes had been opened, jade, jewelry, silver ingots, etc. were scattered all over the place, and it seemed that Zhang Xianzhong could imagine the embarrassed appearance of Zhang Xianzhong running away in a hurry.

The scattered jewels on the ground reminded Yu Xiang of Zhang Xianzhong's greedy personality. According to historical records, Zhang Xianzhong went to a place, loved to plunder and collect treasures, and there was a ballad: "Stone ox to stone drum, gold is ten thousand five, which can know through, buy all Chengdu Mansion." After the establishment of the Onishi regime, Zhang Xianzhong once held a treasure fighting conference in Chengdu, proudly showing off his wealth: twenty-four rooms filled with rare treasures, gold and silver ingots, dizzying and jaw-dropping.

Yu Xiang said in his heart, more than 1,000 people were killed and injured in Xincun this time, and more than 10,000 taels of pension silver are needed, which is not a small amount. Zhang Xianzhong is a famous money fan, and there are too few jewels found at the scene, it would be great if he could still find the jewels that Zhang Xianzhong did not take away.

Yu Xiang shouted to the side of the collapse and ordered: "Brother Guoneng, please find a few trustworthy people, search carefully, and find Zhang Xianzhong to leave the silver two secrets." ”

Chuang Qitian knew that Yu Xiang's move must have a deep meaning, so he didn't ask in detail, sent someone to search, and searched every corner of the battlefield carefully. However, I was very disappointed, and the silver I got was collected only more than a thousand taels.

Yu Xiang felt very strange, Zhang Xianzhong fled in a hurry, it was impossible to bring a large amount of silver with him, combined with the legend of Zhang Xianzhong's hidden treasure in later generations, Yu Xiang estimated that Zhang Xianzhong was likely to hide a large amount of gold and silver treasure somewhere. This may become a mystery for future generations. Yu Xiang still has too many things to deal with, and the treasure hunt can only be put to an end temporarily.

According to Yu Xiang's orders, all the tents were quickly cleared, and the grain that was continuously transported from the Thirteen-Mile Bridge also brought more than 50 big fat pigs and 200 sheep. Xincun passed the "Xincun Wartime Special Law" and bought more than 300 pigs and more than 2,000 sheep from Jiuzhen, so that it had such a rich war meal, and if it only relied on the pigs and sheep fed by Xincun, I am afraid that it would have been bankrupt at this moment. In order to reward the sergeant, almost one-tenth of the pigs and sheep in the new village were used, and even the red lady was very surprised: she had always been frugal when she was fair, but today she is so expensive.

Yu Xiang has his own plans, so many people, who have just experienced the war, are weak and need to replenish their physical strength, and Liu Guoneng can bring so many people to him, he needs to show his attitude and let everyone have a good meal, this move is also a sincere expression of the collapse of the sky. Yu Xiang felt that when it should be saved, it must be saved, and when it should be generous, it must not be ambiguous.

Set up a stove and pot by the river, kill pigs and sheep, smoke rises, laughter and laughter, and it is very lively. The people here are almost all brought by the collapse of the sky, and they celebrate the rebirth.

And Yu Xiang, who had just experienced the catastrophe of life and death, sat alone in the tent, silent, and in a trance, he saw those fresh lives, silently walking in front of him one by one, and looked back at him.

Yu Xiang was like a dream, demented. It was only when the red lady walked in and saw Yu Xiang who was in a daze, she gently pulled Yu Xiang's hand and said, "Xianggong, the dinner is ready, just waiting for you." ”

Yu Xiang woke up from the dream just now, and big tears rolled out of his eyes. He said to the red lady: "Set up an incense case, I want to pay tribute to the martyrs who died in battle!" ”

The red lady and Yu Xiang have a heart, she has already thought of the reason for Yu Xiang's tears, her eyes are also red, she agreed, turned out of the big tent, and ordered someone to set up an incense case.

Yu Xiang wiped away his tears, tidied up his clothes, got out of the big tent, and came to the sacrificial table under the leadership of the red lady.

The sacrificial desk is facing the loess gang, and the sacrificial supplies are placed on the desk, and Yu Xiang burns incense and kowtows in a regular manner. The Red Lady and Qi Dayong, Chuang Collapse and others knelt behind them and worshiped the dead.

After the worship ceremony was completed, Yu Xiang first came to the banquet tent presided over by Chuang Collapsed Heaven.

The big tent is brightly lit, the meat of the big names, the big bowl of wine, here is mainly the old department that broke into the sky, Yu Xiang and the red lady and others entered the tent, and the people in the tent got up together to welcome.

Yu Xiang exchanged a few words with everyone, picked up the big bowl, and dried three bowls in one go.

After drinking, I said hello to everyone and came to the barracks tent presided over by the master Ai Lianchi.

In this tent, it is full of vegetarian food and vegetarian wine. Vegetarian wine is rice wine that can be drunk by monks and nuns. Rice wine has a history of more than 1,000 years in China, and its brewing process is simple, and the taste is sweet and mellow. It has a very low alcohol content and is loved by people.

Before the banquet, Yu Xiang asked why everyone gathered in Loess Gang.

Master Wuwei, the abbot of Shaolin, said: "Amitabha, this is the will of heaven, and there is a certain number in the dark. He elaborated on the reason why the martial arts giants gathered in Loess Gang.

It turned out that Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan and other areas because of natural disasters, the war continued, Shaolin, Emei, Wudang, Huashan and other places of chaos people from all directions towards Shaolin Temple, Huashan, Emei Mountain and Wudang Mountain, seeking shelter and rescue, at the beginning of the reluctance to do it, but later, more and more chaotic people, simply unable to help, and because of the war, almost no pilgrims burned incense and made wishes, donations are almost zero, not to mention the relief of these poor people, they themselves are difficult to continue.

These big leaders flew pigeons to pass the book, discussed countermeasures together, and agreed that they should discuss together to find a way to break the situation, but where to go to negotiate, they were embarrassed.

It also happened that the Songzhu Temple where Xiahou Shangyuan lived was not far from the Emei faction, on this day, he had nothing to do, and went to the Emei faction to find Ran Shitai to learn martial arts, and overheard Ran Shitai talk about how to deal with the war and how to meet the meeting place of the meeting. Xiahou Shangyuan is also a warm-hearted person, he gave Ran Shitai an idea, Dongshuanghe Town is located in Henan, close to Shaanxi and Sichuan, and the martial saint is here, the master flying pigeon said in the message, this can be described as a paradise, a pure land in troubled times. We recommend that you meet here.

Shi Ran thought it was feasible and passed this suggestion to the major leaders, and everyone agreed. The better the time for everyone to meet, they rushed to Dongshuanghe Town.

Xiahou Shangyuan missed his master very much, so he also went with Master Ran.

Xiahou Shangyuan and others had just arrived in Dongshuanghe Town, and saw a person galloping in front of them from a distance, and felt very familiar, so they chased and stopped this person, and saw that they were preparing to go to the Loess Gang Martial Saints, and everyone discussed it a little and decided to go to the Loess Gang together to save the emergency.

Came to the loess gang, just in time for Yu Xiang to be besieged, the situation was extremely critical, they shot, relieved the siege of the new village, defeated Zhang Xianzhong, became the last straw that crushed Zhang Xianzhong's big camel, the whole process is extremely coincidental, if any link goes wrong, the new village may have been wiped out.

After listening to the introduction of Master Wuwei, Yu Xiang deeply felt the power of the way of heaven, the will of heaven cannot be violated, there are gods three feet above his head who are not afraid of others and fear of themselves, and they should be in good conscience and with goodwill, in order to get heavenly help.

Yu Xiang's choice as a savior to come to this universe may have a lot to do with his conscience and his attitude of being a man with good intentions. In an instant, he seemed to understand many things, and all the strife in the world turned out to be empty. Before birth, everyone is equal, and after being born, they came to the unequal world, and then they had high and low, but in the end, they turned into dust and returned to the land of equality. All the clowns, the vicious, the careerists, they are just passers-by in the world.

Feeling this, Yu Xiang raised the vegetarian wine and gratefully toasted with all the martial arts giants present one by one to show his sincerity.

After eating, it was already dark. Yu Xiang did not go to bed, but asked for the consent of all the martial arts masters to discuss how to deal with the troubled times to break the situation.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the martial saint Ai Lianchi, the Nanhai Immortal Weng Kongdaoren, the abbot of Shaolin Temple Master Wuwei, the big-headed swordsman Xiahou Shangyuan, the Wudang faction of the foolish tea master, the Huashan faction Mu Renqing, the Emei faction Ran Shitai, Qi Dayong, the red lady, Zhuge Shanzhen, Zhang Erhu and others sat together, but the most strange thing is that Liu Xiangzhong, Liu Xiangyong, Liu Xiangxin, Liu Xiangyi, the four brothers are also among them, if they are ranked by seniority, it will not be their turn to attend the meeting anyway, except for the red lady can guess Yu Xiang's intentions, the rest of the people feel strange. The most eye-catching thing is that among the people present are seven displaced people who took refuge in the new village before the battle led by Li Erguo, and seven representatives of the rescued women led by Liu Danzhen. There was also a captive named Sun Ba who was captured on the battlefield.

There is no distinction between priority and priority in the house, everyone sits together, Mu Xiao'e took a few girls from the new village to pour tea for everyone, this is the best green tea in the new village, among these martial arts giants, the master and Mu Renqing are well versed in the tea ceremony, and they tasted a sip of tea and were full of praise.

Yu Xiang spoke first: "While the flames of war have not been extinguished, the smoke of gunpowder has not dispersed, and the heroic spirits of the martyrs are still hovering above our heads, although everyone is very tired today, I still want to convene this earnest meeting, if nothing else, just to find a bright road for the benefit of the people of Li." Comfort the souls of the departed. ”

He first asked Li Erguo to tell about his experience of becoming an exile.

It turned out that Li Erguo was originally a native of Daliushu Village, Mozi Mountain, Shangzhou, Shaanxi, three brothers, his family was a carpenter for generations, his family was well-off, and his family had a few acres of thin fields during the Wanli period to be self-sufficient, and his life was solid and rich, but since the first year of Chongzhen, drought for many years, there was no harvest in the field, and every household in the vicinity was starving to death, fleeing from the famine, and his carpenter skills were useless, so he was in the middle of the night, with a family old and young, drilled into the deep mountains and old forests, and fled to Henan and Hubei.

They did not dare to take the avenue, afraid of being caught by the government, they could only go deep in the mountains and old forests, his elderly parents died of illness on the way to escape the famine, later, Chongzhen fled to Henan in four years, they were caught by the government, his wife was beaten to death, the other two brothers were sent to the border to fill the army, I don't know whether they are alive or dead, he took two children, all over the body, was repatriated to their hometown, and could not be sent out, and the two children starved to death. He relied on his carpenter's skills and did odd jobs for large local families to barely make ends meet. In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong plundered all the local households, and he lost his livelihood, so he had to follow the homeless people and blend into Zhang Xianzhong's army, because he had carpenter skills, so he reluctantly stayed in the army, mixed a mouthful of food, even if he didn't want to be a homeless and become a bandit, but that was a choice? had to follow Zhang Xianzhong around, robbing and plundering, Meiji is not a long-term road, but in order to survive, he has to do this.

Li Erguo said the emotional part, tears flowed down his face, whimpering unspeakably, and the other six people desperately covered their mouths and couldn't cry. Their experience is similar to Li Erguo's experience, and the other six people briefly told their own experiences, and everyone heard them clearly: natural disasters have no way to live, uprisings and rebellions are dead ends, everyone has no choice, they have become homeless, the rigid household registration system, and the officialdom is not close to people, forcing them into a mob.

After hearing this, the four Liu brothers were very moved, they had already guessed Yu Xiang's intention to invite them to attend, and at this moment they realized that if the household registration system was not reformed, there would only be more and more displaced people, and the war would never stop.

Master Wuwei clasped his hands together and kept chanting in his mouth: "Sin, sin!" ”
