Chapter 157: The Future of Void Bamboo
Zhao Xiaoxi, who had just arrived at the Xiaoyao faction, was in the forbidden area in the backyard that night, accompanied the disciples before the ruin of the Xiaoyao faction, and had a sect-style family banquet. At the banquet, Hangu Bayou, who is also an elder, also felt that Zhao Xiaoxi's habits were quite heavy.
Since learning that the head of the sect has become the son of heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, Hangu Bayou knows that the rise of the Xiaoyao faction is promising. Sure enough, as this news spread all over the country, there were many young people who came to Xiaoyao School every year to learn from their teachers.
Compared with entering Shaolin or Wudang, worshipping into the Xiaoyao sect does not have many Buddhist or Taoist rules. After the art is completed, these disciples walk the rivers and lakes, as long as they abide by the rules of the free school hoe to help the strong and the weak, they do not have to shy away from getting married and having children.
It's just that with Su Xinghe, the acting head of the management of the Loose faction seems to be clear. Among the people who go to the mountain to learn art every year, many of them come for Zhao Xiaoxi, the emperor, but they don't accept it if they don't come.
Even according to Zhao Xiaoxi's request, the children of civil and military officials above the third grade will not be accepted. As for the children of officials below the third grade, as long as they are of pure character, they can be brought under the door wall after investigation. Even the free faction also has many children of official eunuchs.
For Zhao Xiaoxi, now Da Song can't afford the so-called national fitness. But about martial arts, he thinks that it is a good thing to have more inheritors. With the advent of muskets, the role of warriors has also been greatly reduced.
As long as it is reasonably controlled, these martial arts practitioners will be led to the right path. Sometimes, these warriors can also solve a lot of troubles for the country. After all, even in later generations, Chinese martial arts are also famous all over the world.
At present, there are many martial arts sects in the Great Song Dynasty, and the good and the bad are incomplete, and cultivating more decent disciples is also conducive to controlling the rivers and lakes. As for the reason for the ban on chivalry, at least Zhao Xiaoxi doesn't have to worry about it for now.
As for the musket team he formed, if you want to hunt down a martial arts master. Unless you really reach the super-first-class master. Otherwise, it will be difficult to stop the advantage of guns. If so, why control it too much?
The most important thing is that at present, the free faction is regarded as an imperial sect, and Shaolin has always lived in a decent place. Zhao Xiaoxi is also a disciple of the Shaolin layman, and these two layers of relationship ensure that the Xiaoyao faction joins forces with Shaolin. The authority of people in the martial arts who dare not obey.
After eating, Zhao Xiaoxi asked Concubine Mei and them to rest with Tianshan Tong's grandmother. As for him, he declined the company of Hachiya Hachiyu and changed into the clothes that represented the Son of Heaven. Put on a chivalrous customer service that you haven't worn for a long time, and sit in the backyard waiting for the arrival of guests.
Xuzhu, who was also waiting for the summons, was actually very touched by Zhao Xiaoxi's importance to him. Sometimes he doesn't understand why Zhao Xiaoxi has such a soft spot for him as a small Shaolin monk?
Don't say he can't figure it out. Even the Shaolin monks also don't understand why Xuzhu can make friends with a true dragon son like Zhao Xiaoxi. Think about Zhao Xiaoxi's other two righteous brothers, Xuzhu really can't be compared!
Now known as the four brothers of the legend of Jinlan's righteousness, the eldest brother Xiao Feng was the youngest leader of the beggar gang back then, and he was also a famous martial arts master in the Central Plains. Now he is named the Marquis of Liao, and is in charge of military and political affairs in Liaodong. Official position: Governor of the First Rank.
The third brother Duan Yu is now also named the king of Dali. Ruling over a state of Fan. Although his martial arts are not as good as Qiao Feng, he is also a first-class master. Its light skills and the unique martial arts of the Duan family are also highly praised by the Jianghu people.
Fourth brother Zhao Hyo-seok, not to mention. He has the title of Emperor Wu in the rivers and lakes and created the world of Shengping in the Great Song Dynasty. In addition to the admiration of everyone in the rivers and lakes, the people of the world also love it. This is also a legend!
Only the second brother is Xuzhu. Although he has now entered the elders' house, he accompanies the Shaolin elders to worship Buddhism and learn art. In terms of martial arts alone, he was the worst of the four. If you talk about identity, it is also an ordinary virtual character monk in Shaolin, and there is no comparison at all.
The people of the rivers and lakes who know this secret. I can't understand why Zhao Xiaoxi would recognize such an ordinary monk as his second brother. originally thought it was a joke, but at the foot of the mountain today, Zhao Xiaoxi called the 'second brother', and everyone in the rivers and lakes heard it very clearly.
I can't figure it out, but the opportunity of Xuzhu makes people in the rivers and lakes envious. It is said that there are people in the DPRK who are good officials, and at present, Xuzhu has three, high-ranking and powerful brothers, and the future is only limitless.
Xuzhu, who was personally led by Su Xinghe, was somewhat flattered. But only Zhao Xiaoxi, who was sitting in the octagonal pavilion in the backyard, knew that if there was no him in this life, maybe Xuzhu would be the head of the Xiaoyao faction right now.
Even the Vulture Palace, which helped Zhao Xiaoxi a lot, and the princess of Western Xia, the current princess of the Great Song Dynasty, should also be Xuzhu. Others don't know, but Zhao Xiaoxi can't pretend not to know, he feels ashamed of Xuzhu.
Seeing the slightly restrained Xuzhu appear, Zhao Xiaoxi got up and arched his hand: "Second brother! Keeping you waiting! Senior brother, I'm glad you made a trip. Leave it to me here, don't let people disturb me if it's okay, I'll reunite with my second brother! ”
Su Xinghe quickly said: "Yes, master!" ”
Seeing that Xuzhu was about to salute again, Zhao Xiaoxi pulled him to the edge of the chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "Second brother, there is no emperor here, only brothers." Now that the eldest brother and the third brother are no more, we can only drink with the two brothers, so you can relax, okay? ”
Hearing Zhao Xiaoxi say this, Xuzhu said a little helplessly: "Fourth brother, you are like this, you really torture me!" ”
Facing Xuzhu's helpless expression, Zhao Xiaoxi smiled and said, "You! I really don't know how to say hello, what bothers you when you see brothers? Putting aside the identity of this emperor, do you recognize me as the fourth brother? “
Xu Zhu thought about it and said confusedly: "But you are the emperor!" ”
Get! For this kind of ridicule, Zhao Xiaoxi could only say helplessly: "Second brother, you! When I got here, there was no emperor, only the fourth brother. Only that, the junior brother who took you into the forest to roast rabbits.
I am now the emperor, but in addition to the emperor, I am also your fourth brother. You're always so restrained, it makes me think it's really a mistake to invite you to drink. Compared to you, the eldest brother and the third brother have to open a lot! ”
Without waiting for Xuzhu to speak, Zhao Xiaoxi suddenly said: "Second brother, I know that you are proficient in Buddhist rites. Then you should know that there is a cloud in the "Myoho-renge-kyo Sutra": "If words are born everywhere, they are called sentient beings." This is also according to the five realms of karma. What should be the explanation of this? ”
Xuzhu thought for a while and said, "Okay! Even if the second brother said the wrong thing, I will accompany the wine to apologize. ”
As he spoke, Xuzhu could only grit his teeth and drink a glass of wine. Although drinking breaks the vows, but at this point, it is inevitable to want to drink at night. So why should he hesitate any longer? It's a big deal, I went back to the temple to copy the scriptures and atone for my sins.
Seeing that Xuzhu finally figured out that Buddhism has the truth that 'all living beings are equal', Zhao Xiaoxi also seemed very happy. began to drink and chat with Xuzhu, and when it came to his mother who lived in seclusion in Shaosi Mountain, Xuzhu also seemed very happy.
'The brother-in-law of the previous mother-in-law, the general with a big head, after seeing the mother-in-law. My mother is in a much better mood, and now she is very happy with her children every day. She said that she didn't force me to be vulgar, and she was as happy as having children with her. ’
A general with a big head, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly thought of this evaluation that that person should be Yue Laosan. After Yue Laosan was named General Qiongzhou last time, he personally took his children and two ladies to Shaosi Mountain to visit Ye Erniang.
For the four evildoers in the past, now all three of them have abandoned evil and followed good, which can be regarded as a good deed done by Zhao Xiaoxi. Looking at the boss Duan Yanqing, he became a senior monk in Dali Tianlong Temple. The third child is also a dignified Song general.
Even Ye Erniang, who used to kill children for fun, now adopts the orphans sent by Wu Wei. In this way, to atone for the sins that have been committed. This can be regarded as a lost return, which is a great good!
Hearing that Xuzhu was really unintentional and vulgar, Zhao Xiaoxi looked very serious and said: "Second brother, you really want to think about it, you will always accompany the Buddha in this life." Do you really refuse to be vulgar? If you are still vulgar, the fourth brother will promise you a lifetime of wealth and glory. ”
In this regard, Xuzhu smiled and said: "Wealth and glory are just passing through the smoke." Being able to serve the Buddha and praise my Buddha's teachings, Xuzhu feels very happy and satisfied. So, thanks to the kindness of the fourth brother, I am still more comfortable being a monk. ”
Seeing that Xuzhu was really ready for this kind of plan, Zhao Xiaoxi said again: "Even so, the fourth brother will also give you a chance, which can really carry forward the Dharma." Second brother, it seems that he knows the master of Jianzhen who crossed to the east during the Tang Dynasty? ”
Seeing Xuzhu nodding, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly said: "If the second brother is willing, the fourth brother can give you a chance similar to Master Jianzhen to go to the Wa Kingdom to promote the Buddhism of the Great Song Dynasty, and even other countries of Fanbang." Would you like? ”
Hearing this, Xuzhu was stunned for a moment and quickly said: "There is such an opportunity, if you can do something for my Buddha, Xuzhu is naturally willing." It's just that I'm just an ordinary monk of Shaolin Temple now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do such a big thing. ”
Zhao Xiaoxi said with a smile: "There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts." Only if the second brother is willing, from tomorrow, I can issue an order to make you the Buddha envoy of the Great Song Dynasty and inherit and exchange Buddhism with all countries in the world.
I didn't say that you should go to sea immediately to spread my Central Plains Buddhism. I can also decree that you will be allowed to go to any monastery in the Central Plains to exchange the Dharma, so that you can increase your Dharma theories and merits. When you think you can do it, I'll send you out to sea. ”
In fact, Buddhism has also been widely spread in later generations. In some things, Buddhism's exhortation to do good is still worthy of recognition. And Zhao Xiaoxi also hopes that Xuzhu can become a master of the Great Song Dynasty, spreading Buddhist and Taoist theories to the world, and by the way, promoting the civilization of the Great Song Dynasty.
Although Buddhist culture is also a type of cultural exchange. But Zhao Xiaoxi knows very well that no matter how far the Dharma is transmitted, letting others learn more will not affect the overall situation. Other cultures of the Great Song Dynasty spread out, but they need to be paid more attention.
In addition, Zhao Xiaoxi also hopes that while shaping Xuzhu into a Buddhist master. The envoys of the Great Song Dynasty who went to various countries with him could also show the power of the Great Song Dynasty to the world, so that the Great Song Dynasty could truly enjoy the treatment of all countries coming to the dynasty.
If anyone dares to proselytize against Xuzhu, they will resist or retaliate. Then the Great Song Dynasty will use knives and guns to tell these Fanbangs another truth that the Great Song Dynasty is majestic and cannot be humiliated. This can also be regarded as the foreign policy of the Great Song Dynasty with one hand and one hand hard! (To be continued......)
