Chapter 338: Guardian of the Miao Clan

The monk Tian Jing said made me feel like an underground worker, and I said, "You Fang monk, Walker Fuyan, Tian Jing, what are the characteristics of this person?" ”

"Back to the emperor, this person calls himself 'Fuyan', dressed as a walker, tall, handsome, and his accent is a typical Sichuan dialect."

"The traveling monk who is familiar with medical skills is from Lin'an." I repeated it in a whisper, and suddenly remembered Master Lian Zhen who showed me my face in Yanfu Temple, he was also the only monk I had contact with in Lin'an, but the accent was completely wrong, Lian Zhen spoke a standard northern dialect, which was completely different from the Chinese dialect in Sichuan.

According to Tian Jing's account, this wandering monk is either a meticulous work sent by a hostile country, or a rebel annihilation, which is mentioned in later spy war books.

"Tian Jing, have you ever seen this painter named Fu Yan in Miao Village?"

Tian Jing thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty, if the name of Fuyan is real, then you can verify his identity from the degree issued by the government." ”

It is said that the degree began in the Tang Dynasty during the Tang and Ming Emperor periods, and in the Song Dynasty, the degree became one of the sources of income for the treasury, and I don't know which emperor from the Northern Song Dynasty, the government charged a certain fee when issuing the degree, and the court at that time believed that the monks and nuns were exempted from taxes after becoming monks, and they could get without work, so it was normal for the court to charge the degree fee.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong continued this practice, and the emperors behind all copied it, and it became more and more intense, making the situation of the entire Southern Song Dynasty selling Du Mu better than the Northern Song Dynasty, as long as the imperial court was short of money, it would print a large number of Du Mu, and sell it for money.

For monks and nuns, the Song Dynasty had strict regulations, not whoever wants to become a monk can become a monk, must first apply, after being approved by the government, pay a certain fee, in order to get the degree.

There is also related content in "Water Margin", Lu Zhishen killed the town of Guanxi with three punches, and met Zhao Yuanwai when he fled, and Zhao Yuanwai said to Lu Zhishen, "I have bought a five-flower degree here, but I have never had a confidant who has a wish." So, Lu Zhishen took this bought degree to become a monk and became a regular Buddhist.

"If the name of the resumption is true, then of course the clues can be found from the degree, but I think that the name of the restoration is very likely to be forged." I know that a spy doesn't leave his real name.

Tian Jingdao: "Well, it's very likely. ”

"I know about this matter, as long as this Fuyan has bad intentions, sooner or later he will show his feet, Tian Jing, I also feel that this person has a problem, if I meet this person again, I will detain it first, and then talk about it, I don't have to be polite to those who try to subvert my Great Song Dynasty."

"Yes, the grass people understand."

"This time I saw Mr. Tian in Zhenxi Village, I won't go to Miao Village, after I defeat Mongolia, I will definitely come again, also, I am a private visit to Weifu this time, as far as you know my identity, don't tell anyone, externally, my identity is Huyan Gongzi of Lin'an Shifeng Commercial Bank, you also call me that, as for Tian Fang, you have to discipline well, the wine will be ruined, don't let him destroy the good atmosphere that has been established between the Han and Miao tribes in Zhenxi Village."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"If you encounter any more injustice to you from the government, let Tian Zuiyan tell Wen Tianxiang, and I will solve it in accordance with the law, but you can't gather people to make trouble again."

"Your Majesty, the grass people don't dare." Tian Jing hesitated for a moment and continued, "Your Majesty, the grass people still have a small wish, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

I was just about to get up and leave, and when I heard Tian Jing say that there was still a wish, I said, "Say it." ”

"Caomin has two sons, the eldest son is drunk, the emperor has seen it, the second son Xiuyan, just turned twenty years old in December last year, since he was a child, he was designated by Jiang Yang, the chief wizard of my Miao family, as the successor of the next generation of great wizards, my Miao family has a traditional custom, that is, the selected great wizards must go to Jiuli Mountain in the depths of Xiangxi at the age of fifty-nine to accept the nine tests of the guardians, if they can pass, they will inherit the divine position of the previous generation of guardians and become a new generation of guardians, The first of these nine tests is to accompany the saint to travel the world before entering the mountain, the higher the saint's cultivation, the greater the likely surname to pass the first test, the grass people think that the head of the saint today is none other than the emperor, so the grass people dare to implore the emperor to let the dog follow the emperor. ”

"Guardian, do you Miao family also have guardians?" As soon as I heard this, I became interested, "Sir, you should first tell me what is going on with this guardian. ”

"The emperor also knows the guardian." Tian Jing exclaimed,

"Well, the Han people also have the saying of guardians."

Tian Jingdao: "Since the emperor knows, the grass people will simply say, the guardian of the grass people is the guardian of my Miao family, this matter in my Miao family only the three major leaders and the great wizards know, ancient legends, the ancient god of war Chi You is the ancestor of my Miao people, thousands of years ago, the great god of Chi You led the seventy-two tribes of Jiuli to the north, and the Huaxia tribe led by Yan Huang fought in Zhuolu, after the defeat, the younger brother of the great god of Chi You continued to fight on behalf of the seriously injured Chi You, in the Huangyang Mountain in the west of Zhuolu by the Yellow Emperor's general Ying Long, After the wind and other joint efforts to kill, the great god of Chiyou fled back to the south under the desperate escort of his guards, and lived in seclusion in the Jiuli Mountain in the depths of Xiangxi, because he was too seriously injured in the battle with the Yellow Emperor, and after a long distance of bumps, so the great god of Chiyou was never born after the seclusion, and the ancestors of my Miao family also because the group of people had no leader, fragmented, forced to move around, about two hundred years later, that is, Tang Yao (Yao Shun) period, the first guardian appeared, this guardian led the Miao people to establish the three Miao tribal alliance, after that, It is said that the last time the guardian appeared was more than three hundred years ago, according to the great wizard of Jiang Yang, in these three hundred years, no great wizard among the Miao people can get the favor of the guardian, so the heirs of the guardian are always vacant. ”

Tian Jing sighed and continued: "For three hundred years, there have been great wizards who have gone deep into the mountains at the age of fifty-nine to accept the nine tests of the guardians, but most of the great wizards have not even been able to find the location of Jiuli Mountain. ”

"Location change." I was surprised, and then remembered that the entrance to the inner hall of the Valley of the Kings was the same, not fixed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is something that the great wizards can't understand."

"Well, this may be due to the spatial misalignment."

Tian Jingdao: "Space dislocation, what is this." ”

"This is a profound scientific and technological theory, somewhat similar to what humans often say about fate, and the one who can find the entrance means that he has a fate with the guardian."

Tian Jingjing nodded, and then said: "Twenty years ago, the then Jiang Yang Great Wizard happened to be fifty-nine years old, and he also entered the deep mountains of Xiangxi, the emperor, the reason for this fifty-nine years old is because the Great God of Chiyou was exactly fifty-nine years old when he entered Jiuli Mountain. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask, "Then did Wizard Jiang Yang find Jiuli Mountain?" ”

"I found it, but, according to the great wizard Jiang Yang, he couldn't even pass the first level test, however, the great wizard Jiang Yang got the will of the guardian, saying that although his cultivation power is extremely high, but the wisdom root is insufficient, even if he can pass the next seven tests, he can't accept the ninth test, that is, the inheritance, the emperor, when the great wizard Jiang Yang left Jiuli Mountain, the previous guardian rumored that he would go to the Miao village where the grass people came, saying that there was about to be a baby with deep roots in the Miao village, who could be the successor of the great wizard, if it was a coincidence, Twenty years later, there will be a saint passing through Zhenxi, and just by following that saint's experience, you can cultivate the wisdom root to perfection. ”

"Am I the saint that the Miao guardians say?" I thought to myself,

Han guardian, Miao guardian, if I am the saint in the words of the Miao guardian, then I am really the savior of the Chinese people, the first thing I feel is not excitement, but I deeply feel that the burden on my body is getting heavier and heavier, if I can't lead the Great Song Dynasty Zhongxing, then I am the sinner of the Chinese nation, I know the historical process, of course, I know the experience of the next eight hundred years, the unification of Mongolia, the entry of the Manchu Dynasty, the invasion of Western powers, and even the small book also let our country fall into eight years of hard resistance,

Tian Jing seemed to see through my thoughts and said: "Today, the sage is none other than the emperor, the emperor, the people of my Miao family have never admired foreigners, but the grass people greatly admire and trust Lord Wen, and Lord Wen admires and trusts the emperor very much, and Lord Wen respects the emperor, which is absolutely pious, so the grass people think that the emperor is the saint mentioned by the guardian, so they dare to plead with the emperor." ”

"Tian Jing, let's talk about Tian Xiuyan's situation."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tian Jing said proudly, "Your Majesty, the dog Xiuyan has been practicing with Jiang Yang Wizard since he was a child, not the grass people boast, on martial arts, the entire Miao Village, including the other two Dazhai, no one is the enemy of the dog, in addition, the dog also learned the Miao family medicine from the big wizard, the calendar, etc., the grass people believe that under the emperor's teaching and instruction, the dog will definitely become a good helper of the emperor." ”

I'm very interested in the things about the guardian, since Tian Xiuyan is the heir chosen by the guardian, no matter which clan he is the guardian of, as long as he is from China, he will definitely become my strong help, and I can also learn more about the guardian's situation from him,

I thought for a while and said, "Tian Jing, where is Ling Gongzi now." ”

"Back to the emperor, it's in the village."

"Yes, why didn't Gongzi live in Miao Village?"

"Back to the emperor, this is the meaning of the great wizard Jiang Yang, since December 1 last year, after the dog turned twenty, he lived in Zhenxi Village, and because of this, the grass people opened a righteous building here."

"Okay, you have him come here to meet me, oh no, meet Prince Huyan."
