After receiving Sanjay's return, Feroz was overjoyed, and immediately set sail and rushed straight to the Yueguo Sailor, if Feroz was still vigilant at the beginning, when he found that the Yueguo Sailor reacted in a panic when he saw the sail shadow, there was no longer a little reservation, in fact, he wanted to keep, Pandia and Zheluo's sailors couldn't hold back, they rushed up to meet it, and Cui Qianzhan who came out to meet the battle together. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Yue Guo Navy Division was against the wind, the speed was very slow, and it was soon surrounded by several Pandian warships, and when he saw that the situation was not good, Cui Qian ordered to set sail and turn around and run. Seeing the rapid defeat of the front army, the army that was still watching behind was also uneasy, and when the big ship headed by turned its head and sailed away, the other ships were even more chaotic, raising their sails one after another, even ignoring the formation, which can be said to be a collapse at the touch of a button.

The Tianzhu Navy Division estimated that the battle lasted for more than a month, and now it has become an easy pursuit battle, dozens of Yue Guo Navy Divisions are running in front, and hundreds of Tianzhu joint warships are chasing after them, the speed of the two sides is comparable, and the distance has been kept at about 1,000 steps. They shouted excitedly, swearing in their mouths, as if the Yue Guo Sailor had become their captive.

One escapes and chases, one runs for two days, and the next day to the evening, when we reach the mouth of Lijiang, the coastline suddenly turns a big bend to the east here, the land is still the territory of the Shan country, but the sea area is the more than the country. Feroz called the generals to the ship, and the generals sent a jail and talked about not resting, but to catch up overnight, so as not to be run away by the Vietnamese sailors. But Feroz was confident, and said to them with great confidence, don't worry, if my estimate is right, they won't run again tomorrow, because if they run again, we will enter the territory of the Yue country, and the arrogant Yue people will not sit idly by and watch us beat them to the doorstep, they will definitely stop and fight. I hope that a war in the territory of the Vietnamese country and defeat them in their territory will be more effective in dealing with the arrogance of the Vietnamese people.

The generals were skeptical, but seeing that Ferroz was so confident, they also believed it. Ferroz then sent Sanjay to see Sun Shao again, and asked him to give Sun Shao an ultimatum, and if he didn't surrender, he would be dead.

Sanjay didn't see Sun Shao, he was stopped outside the barracks, Sun Shao replied, if you want to negotiate, you can negotiate first, Tianzhu Shui Shi first withdrew from the border of the Yue country, the Shan and the Huren are both Yue people, the war between them is an internal affair, the Tianzhu people cannot interfere, you are interfering in my Vietnamese internal affairs, I strongly protest against your arrogance.

Sanjay smiled dumbly, he looked at the nervous energy of the Yue Guo Sailor in the distance who was ready to flee at any time, dismissively, and turned away. After hearing this, Ferroz was also ridiculous, the Yue people have softened, and as long as he is willing to take a step back at this time, the Yue people will definitely be grateful. However, Fei Luo is not here to mediate with them, his purpose is to severely damage the Yue Guo Sailor, the weaker the Yue Guo people, the more unlikely it is for him to give up, if the Yue Guo is very strong, he is thinking about it.

Tomorrow's decisive battle. Ferroz finally gave the order.

In the military camp of the Yue State Water Division, Sun Shao was also in the military discussion, and was chased by the Tianzhu people for two days, although the generals knew that this was a lure to the enemy, but the psychology was still very unhappy, especially Cui Qian, who was in charge of the task of deception and had been "defeated" several times by the Tianzhu Water Division, and his face was even more stinky.

"Tomorrow, the decisive battle." Sun Shao pointed at Cui Qian: "I am responsible for intercepting them upstream, and the command at sea will be handed over to you." ”

Cui Qian was overjoyed, and his face immediately turned gloomy.

"However, you can't participate in the war, your task is to coordinate the generals, wipe out the Tianzhu Sailors, and a Tianzhu warship escapes, I only ask." Sun Shao said solemnly: "Jianzhong, you have to learn to be a commander, not a soldier who carries a knife and cuts people." ”

Although Cui Qian was a little reluctant, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly hugged his fists and was ordered: "The minister obeys the order." ”

"All the monarchs must cooperate with all their might, and after this battle, Tianzhu Sea will also be ours." Sun Shao smiled and looked at Zhuge Zhi: "I promised you, you are the pioneer officer who went to Tianzhu, but you have to fight a beautiful battle to show me first." ”

"Whoa." Zhuge Zhi tried his best to make himself look less happy, and replied loudly: "The minister must obey the command of General Cui, fight bravely, and strive for the total annihilation of the Tianzhu Water Division." ”

"Good." Sun Shao finished arranging the task and waved his hand lightly: "Let's go and prepare, I will set up a celebration banquet tomorrow and wait for the news of your victory." It's been more than 200 miles, and it's time to clean up these Ah San. ”

The generals responded with a bang and came out.

The next day, Sun Shao's Yingyang Lou ship lay across one of the many tributaries of Lijiang into the sea, it looked like it was stranded, when the Tianzhu Sailor arrived, more than a dozen medium-sized warships were surrounding the Lou Ship, as if trying to find a way to tow the Eagle Yang out, but the Lou Ship was too big, they couldn't drag it at all, but were blocked by the Tianzhu Sailor.

Tianzhu Sailor was ecstatic, the battle situation was as smooth as ever, the gods and Buddhas all over the sky helped, not only caught up with the Yue Navy, but also blocked the Yue King's ship, they didn't dare to expect the Yue King Sun Shao to wait here for death, but to be able to capture the Yue King's ship, it is definitely a record worthy of a lifetime of pride. Without waiting for Ferroz to give the order, the Pandia sailor rushed up first, and the Zheluo sailor immediately followed, although Feroz was very annoyed, but he didn't think too much, and when he gave the order, the Chola sailor also stepped forward to grab the credit.

As soon as the dozen or so Vietnamese warships saw this scene, they all turned their bows and rushed towards the Tianzhu sailors who were coming in the waves. Their formation is very neat, and the speed is also very fast, but in the eyes of the Tianzhu Sailor, this is just the instinct of the guardian's hound to be loyal to his duty, tragic and heroic, but it is useless, can a dozen or so warships defeat the Tianzhu Sailor with more than 300 warships?

Who believes?

All they have to do is rush up, knock off the fangs of these guardian hounds, break their bones, and then skin them and tear their owners to shreds.

The drums beat loudly, and the calm bay immediately turned into a battlefield.

Sun Shao sat cross-legged in the flying house, his chin in one hand, and looked intently at the bhikshuni sitting opposite him. This young Buddhist disciple has a lot of cultivation, but she is still very puzzled by Sun Shao calling her to preach the scriptures at this time. Fierce battles have begun outside, in her opinion, Yue Guo is at a disadvantage, and the building boat has been trapped again, which is basically a dead end, Sun Shao probably smelled the breath of death, so he had to listen to Buddhism at the end.

However, if you listen to the Dharma at this time, will you be able to turn the tide of danger? Even though the bhikshunis firmly believed in the Buddha, they felt that this idea was a bit absurd, so when Sun Shao asked her with a smile on her lips, she thought for a long time and told a story.

The Buddha once crossed the river, and there was an old man in the same boat, and the old man brought a lot of gold. When the boat broke in the middle of the river, the water rushed in, and the people on board were busy fleeing for their lives, and many swam to the shore, and although the old man also grabbed a plank, the gold he carried was too heavy, and he was reluctant to throw it in, so although he struggled hard, he drowned in the end. The person next to him asked the Buddha, why didn't you save this old man, but watched him drown? The Buddha said that a person who cannot give up external things cannot be saved.

Sun Shao stared at the bhikshuni's delicate face expressionlessly, seeing that the bhikshuni was very uneasy, and his heart, which he thought was very firm, was also a little flustered, and he unnaturally avoided Sun Shao's gaze. Sun Shao smiled slightly: "Then you mean that even if I believe in Buddhism now, the Buddha will not save me?" ”

"No...... That's not what it means. The bhikshuni hurriedly shook his head: "I mean, you can only be rescued if you let go of foreign objects." ”

"Drop the foreign object?" Sun Shao rolled his eyes twice, seemed to be very puzzled, and said narrowly: "Are you asking me to throw this boat, take off this clothes, and run naked alone?" In the end, he himself felt a little spoofed and couldn't help but laugh.

The bhikshuni blushed and glanced at Sun Shao's chest unnaturally, as if thinking of Sun Shao's naked appearance, she shook her head a little embarrassedly: "Not exactly, it is for you to let go of your gains and losses and give up fighting, so that you can be rescued." ”

"Lay down your arms, that's surrender, and I don't think Feroz will let me go." Sun Shao shook his head slowly, looking very tragic: "I think that instead of waiting for the Buddha to come to the rescue, it is more practical to raise the knife and rush out and kill a bloody road." ”

"......" The bhikshuni was speechless, and Sun Shao was not in a hurry, he sat there silently, looking at the bhikshuni and trying to speak.

Outside the cabin, ten warships, under the leadership of General Tunwu, broke into the Tianzhu Naval Division like vicious wolves, although they were in the upper hand, they did not raise the sails, but more than sixty strong men shook the paddle wheel with all their might, driving the narrow warship forward, the sharp bow of the ship split the jasper-like water, like a flying fish, almost flying close to the water. In the face of the Tianzhu sailors, the Yue Guo sailors showed great contempt, they did not even use the strong crossbow on the bow of the ship, but drove the boat directly into the past, they wanted to use the most primitive and effective sea tactics to teach the Tianzhu people who did not know the height of the sky a lesson.

Ten warships, dragging ten white waves on the sea, like ten sharp arrows, pierced into the formation of the Tianzhu people in a uniform manner.

Collision, in an instant.

In their opinion, this is just the suicide of the Yue people, they only see the stranded ship, only see the wealth on the ship, they all heard about the luxury of this ship, and they all want to be the first to rush on the ship and snatch the most valuable things.

At this time, who would put only ten ships in their eyes, in front of the Tianzhu sailors who were surging like a tide, they were just insignificant waves, and after a round, these ten ships would be submerged in the tide, and there would be no trace of them again.

However, the truth is very different from what Tianzhu people imagined. The collision of the Yue Sailor warship was like a sharp razor, fiercely slamming the oncoming Tianzhu warship violently, the board tied with brown silk could not resist the powerful impact, after a terrible groan, cracked a gap, the sea water surged in, and soon passed the foot of the Tianzhu soldier. They shouted in panic, no longer caring about the nearby boats, but hurriedly began to scoop up the water and plug the loopholes, but because of their fearlessness, both sides used all their strength, the force of the collision was too great, the gaps were many and wide, and the speed of the sea water pouring in was not at all compensated by their scooping water.

Compared to their fear, the Yue Guo sailors didn't even bother to cheer, they drove the unscathed warship, rushed forward without hesitation, and soon collided with another Tianzhu warship.

"Phew!" With a bang, another Tianzhu warship was injured.

Ten warships rowed ten white lines, everywhere they went, the Tianzhu warships overturned on their backs, none of them returned, when the Tianzhu warships that were injured at the beginning were still shouting, they had gone deep into the Tianzhu people's array, when the Tianzhu warships in front began to sink, and the Tianzhu soldiers began to flutter in the water in despair, they had already killed the Pandia sailors, and the Zheluo sailors were facing each other.

The Zheluo Sailor looked at the Yue Guo Sailor who came out of the Pandia Sailor and was puzzled. Although the Pandia Sailors in front of them were damaged by many warships and exclaimed, the Zheluo Sailors were nearly three hundred paces away from them, and at this distance, they couldn't see what was happening in the Pandia Sailors' formation, and the overall formation of the Pandia Sailors had not changed, so it was difficult to notice anything from the appearance.

Could it be that the Vietnamese Navy Division only has these few ships left? A strong jealousy suddenly welled up in the hearts of the generals of the Zara Naval Division, and this time the Pandias had preempted him.

"King, General Dun, they have broken through the first heavy formation of the Tianzhu people." Guan Xing, who was watching the battle by the railing, trotted in and whispered with irrepressible excitement. Dunwu they attacked blatantly, much to his surprise, he felt that no matter how strong the Yue Sailing Division was, with ten warships to impact the battle formation of the Tianzhu people, it was also more auspicious and less, but I didn't expect Dunwu They actually succeeded like a bamboo, ten warships knocked over a total of seventeen Tianzhu people's warships, everywhere they went, like soup pouring snow, the Tianzhu people were beaten by them and had no power to fight back, and the original complete formation was suddenly cut apart.

"Really?" Sun Shao raised his eyelids, glanced at Guan Xing, who was happy, and said casually: "How are Tianzhu people?" ”

"Three ships have been sunk, and the remaining fourteen are rushing to the shore, and they should not be able to escape the encirclement of General Zhou."

"Well, you go ahead and look at it." Sun Shao waved his hand and looked at the bhikshunis, with a smile on his face: "It seems that my method is still better." ”

"However, killing is to create sinful karma, and with sinful karma, you will be reincarnated in the next life......" The bhikshuni swallowed and did not dare to say any more.

"Be a pig and dog in your next life, and be killed?" Sun Shao laughed, then put away his smile, frowned, looked at the bilge, as if thinking about something, after a while, he asked again: "Is it true that killing people will create criminal karma?" ”

The bhikshuni nodded heavily, and there was a kind of innocence that was not deeply involved in the world.

"Well, I wonder, why did you become a bhikshuni?" Sun Shao suddenly asked curiously, "Have you been a monk since you were a child?" ”

"I have been practicing since I was a child, but I did not become a monk, but I became a layman, and at the age of twenty I became a monk, received full ordination, and became a bhikshuni." The bhikshunis couldn't hide their pride: "I am the youngest bhikshuni under the Master's seat, and I am also the purest. ”

"Your master...... It's called Master Ananda, right? ”

The bhikshuni frowned, shook his head, and said, "We are not called masters, but Aryya, that is, people who have high virtues, high wisdom, and are respected people. In the words of your Yue people, it should be called ...... Called......"

The bhikshunis thought about it for a long time, but they didn't come up with a suitable word, so they had to look at Zhou Yu, who was acting as an interpreter on the side, for help. Zhou Yu said lightly: "I foolishly think that the word Venerable is more appropriate. ”

Sun Shao glanced at Zhou Yu, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes. Zhou Yu was originally a very lively woman, and since that incident, she has begun to become quiet, but she has never been as quiet as in front of her, so quiet that there is no trace of fireworks, compared to this bhikshuni, a bhikshuni is an innocence that has never been tainted by the filth of the world, and she is a kind of ...... See through the loneliness of the red dust.

At the thought of this word, Sun Shao suddenly felt a little uneasy, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the bhikshuni again, but Yu Guang was paying attention to Zhou Yu's face.

"How do you practice? Is it zazen? ”

When it came to professional vocabulary, the bhikshuni's poor Chinese was incomplete, she muttered Sanskrit for a while, and then looked at Zhou Yu, who immediately picked up: "Zazen is only an external form, sitting without contemplation, not zazen." Their practice is called meditation, and contemplation is the focus. ”

"Look at what?" Sun Shao followed and asked.

Zhou Yu replied: "Viewing the Buddha, contemplating the mind, concept, contemplating, and contemplating the sound of the world." Look at the past life, the present life, and the next life. Contemplation is not the goal, the purpose of contemplation is emptiness, it is to stop contemplating, it is not to think, and it is not not to think ......"

Sun Shao looked at Zhou Yu who was talking eloquently, looked at her lifeless eyebrows, and suddenly felt a heart-piercing pain, he never thought that he was just making fun of the little nun and using it as a pastime, but Zhou Yu, the person who persuaded him to understand Buddhism and then find a way to deal with it, was poisoned by Buddhism first, listening to her say this, he knew that Zhou Yu himself was only afraid that he had believed in this set of teachings.

Sun Shao didn't know what to say for a while, and the arrogant war drums outside suddenly left him, leaving only Zhou Yu's clear and ethereal voice in his ears. Sun Shao was a little dazed, he didn't feel this way when he listened to the little nun's teachings, because he didn't believe her teachings at all, he just made fun of her, looking at her expression when she was speechless by himself, he never understood why the Venerable Ananda, who had the same name as one of the two Venerable Venerables next to the Buddha in Journey to the West, was persuaded by such a bhikshuni to take refuge in Buddhism, isn't this sending a sheep to the wolf's mouth? However, he suddenly understood now that it was the purity of this bhikshuni that at least would not make him avoid it at first sight, and at the same time, it was easy to communicate with these women around him, and Zhou Yu was the most direct example.

This Venerable Ananda is actually quite a human surname.

"King, General Cui, they surrounded the Tianzhu people." Guan Xing walked in again and said happily.

"Really?" Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, stood up, walked out of the hatch, took the clairvoyance handed over by Guan Xing and glanced at it, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I caught this big fish, this time it was not in vain." After finishing speaking, he returned the clairvoyance to Guan Xing, returned to the cabin by himself, sat back on the main seat, supported his forehead with his hand, scratched his eyebrows with his little thumb, and said after a while: "Ayu, have you read Lao Tzu?" ”

"Read." Zhou Yu didn't understand what Sun Shao meant for a while, what about Buddhist scriptures, how did he talk about Lao Tzu.

"What you say about emptiness, what is not thinking, and not not wanting, is it somewhat similar to the kind of mysterious realm that Lao Tzu said?" Sun Shao raised his eyelids and looked at Zhou Yu's eyes. Zhou Yu thought for a moment, turned his head and said a few words to the bhikshuni. The bhikshuni listened attentively and asked a few more questions, and the two of them came and went, and after a while they argued again, and seemed to have different opinions. In the end, Zhou Yu looked at Sun Shao again and said, "She doesn't know if it's the same, it seems to be a little similar, but it seems to be a little different." ”

"Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. Nameless and famous, isn't it similar to their emptiness and color? ”

Zhou Yu pondered with his eyebrows, and after a long time, he nodded silently: "It seems to be, and it doesn't seem to be, I can't tell for a while." ”

"You believe everything you can't tell?" Sun Shao suddenly raised his voice and shouted categorically: "What is the difference between the so-called meditation and 'to the void and to keep quiet'? What is the difference between thinking and trance? If you ask her, what is the truth that the Buddha finally realized after sitting under the Bodhi tree for seven days, and Buddhism is divided into 20 parts of Theravada and Popular, is there a unified answer to this question? ”

Sun Shao's interruption echoed with the fierce war drums that suddenly sounded outside the cabin, and suddenly shocked Zhou Yu's mind, and even the bhikshunis who couldn't understand what Sun Shao was saying at all were suppressed by Sun Shao's sudden outburst of momentum, she looked at Sun Shao in amazement, panicked, and the peace that had only been gained after years of practice collapsed.

The cabin was silent, and Zhou Yu fell into deep thought.

Cui Qian led the army to arrive from a distance, and the five building ships lined up, shrinking the encirclement smaller and smaller at the same time, the ballista and crossbow on the building ship continued to roar, scattering stone balls and crossbow arrows to the rear of the Tianzhu water division, slapping the rods one after another, taking turns to attack, the Tianzhu warships within the strike range were shattered, none of them were spared, leaving a mess behind them, and the battleships that escaped alive also had to face the strong attack of more than 20 warships that dragged behind.

With the arrival of Cui Qian and others, the battle situation quickly tilted towards the Yue Navy, although the Tianzhu Sailor had many people and boats, but in the face of the attack of the Yue Navy, they lacked the skills to deal with it, and could only watch the enemy push forward, constantly extending into the formation.

Zhou Xun and Zhuge Zhi's two ships rushed out of the battle formation first, one left and one right, and went straight to the ship of the king of Zhuluo, Feroz.

(To be continued)
