Chapter 68 Digging Pits and Other Solutions
The big dog was puzzled, looked at Fang Xie and asked in a low voice, "Why did you pretend to be too much?" ”
In front of Shen Tianfan, he was really embarrassed to say that forced word as naturally as Fang Jie. He was just shocked by the power of the red-robed priest of that Dao Sect just now, and he didn't think about anything else at all. But listening to Fang Jie's tone, it was obviously not just the cultivation that was trapped in the ground.
"In a small scene of a few hundred people, you dare to work a red-robed priest...... Xiao Zhenren's personal second disciple made a move, and this show was indeed too much. ”
Fang Xie glanced at Shen Tianfan, and he was not embarrassed to use the word pretending-force.
"Even if this mad cow wasn't arranged in advance, it was really just an emergency. Does it need to work for him, a person with a very high status in the Taoist sect, to do it personally? As for the Tsing Yi disciple who spoke just now, in terms of strength, it is not difficult to slap that old cow to death with one palm, right? Even if the red-robed priest wants to make a move, can't he fight the bull? Do you have to poke a big hole out with one finger? ”
"yes, for what?"
The big dog was stunned by Fang's explanation, and almost subconsciously asked.
"It's a show."
Fang Xie lowered his voice and said, "Deliberately show cultivation, you can watch it...... The people will be convinced, and after they are convinced, they will be grateful. ”
Sure enough, Fang Jie's voice fell. The rescued people took the lead in kneeling on the ground, and couldn't stop saying some words of thanks, and the red-robed crane Taoist saw everyone kneeling, and then got up and left the carriage, walked to everyone with a fairy wind and bones, and helped people up one by one.
He looked cold and arrogant, but he spoke politely and gently, and almost instantly, he conquered the hearts of those people.
"A few hundred is not much."
Shen Tianfan smiled and said, "But if these hundreds of people go to spread the news, it won't be long before this matter spreads throughout the imperial capital." ”
Hearing this, Fang Jie's eyes lit up, and he muttered that I understand.
"Understand what?"
Shen Tilt Fan and Big Dog asked almost at the same time.
Fang Xie shook his head and didn't answer.
Looking at the solemn Daoists in the distance, and at the red-robed priests with noble and polite manners, he knew that what he had guessed before was just a show of the Daoist Sect to expand his fame was really too superficial. Since the emperor of the Great Sui has already erected a sect, why do Taoist priests like them have some self-surrender to play tricks on a group of ordinary people?
The purpose of the Taoist Sect was not only to guide the people to believe in the Taoist Sect.
It's for the sake of the Great Sui court, for the emperor!
When he met the demon of Wanyan Li halfway, Fang Xie guessed that Da Sui was afraid that he would soon move troops against the northwest. And to raise the knife against the behemoth of the Mengyuan Empire, it is not just as simple as purging the imperial court and rectifying the armament, nor is it just as simple as the emperor raising his prestige.
Everyone in the world knows that the Mengyuan Empire has a big snow mountain and a big wheel temple, and Buddhism has been praised to the highest peak of power in the world outside the Great Sui. Even if the people of the Great Sui do not believe in Buddhism, they will still be afraid of this sect that controls almost all the countries outside the Great Sui. Legend has it that Daxue Mountain is the place with the most nine-grade masters in the world. And the three thousand golden-bodied monks and soldiers under the throne of the Buddha Sect Dalun Ming are known as invincible in the world.
These legends are the worries of the people of the Great Sui.
Although the people of the Great Sui and the officials of the imperial court are confident that the military strength of the Great Sui is unparalleled in the world. Even if you fight with the Mengyuan Empire, which claims to have millions of troops, no one will be intimidated. But Buddhism is different, if the Mengyuan Empire is a behemoth, then this behemoth is just the tip of the iceberg of Buddhism.
If the Great Sui and the Mengyuan Empire went to war, once the Buddhist cultivators intervened in the war, then the people of the Great Sui and even the courtiers would be afraid.
So......
Emperor Da Sui personally ordered this time to invite Qingle Mountain to watch Xiao Zhenren enter the Chang'an Yanwu Academy to watch the ceremony, how could it be as simple as just watching the ceremony?
So......
How could it be as simple as the red-robed priest Crane Daoist showing his cultivation in front of the people of the town?
Emperor Da Sui asked Xiao Zhenren to come, just to show the strength of Taoism to the people and the courtiers. Only if the Dao Sect showed extraordinary strength, then the officials and people of the Great Sui would have more confidence in the war that was about to be launched. With the backing of Taoist masters, the Great Sui army did not have to fear the practitioners of Buddhism.
The emperor's seemingly insipid actions contain deep meaning that people have to admire.
Therefore, when Fang Xie speculated about this, he was full of respect for the current helmsman of the Great Sui Empire. If he knew anything else that His Majesty the Daoist Emperor had done to prepare for this war, he was afraid that he would admire the five bodies to the ground. This is what a ruler should be, and he thinks of almost all the difficulties that he will face.
Fang Xie couldn't help but think, if the successive emperors of the Great Sui had such a scheming city, then it would not be unbelievable that the Great Sui would not be able to lose its strength for a hundred years, and he even believed that if the emperors after the Great Sui were also like Emperor Yang Yi, then there was no need for more, and after five or six generations of emperors, maybe the Great Sui would be able to dominate the world.
Just when he was stunned, the four of them also found Shen Tianfan and others sitting on the branch watching the excitement. The eldest iron slave quietly shook his head, signaling the other three not to go over and recognize each other. Although the fifteen-year period has arrived, everyone does not dare to really let go of their hearts.
Not only the monks who are tireless in pursuit along the way, but also the person who arranges all this behind the scenes must also be on guard. Who knows...... Fifteen years later, will that person unload the mill and kill the donkey?
Or ...... Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots?
……
……
Through the gap in the curtain of the carriage, Xiao Zhenren was very satisfied with the warm scene he saw. Although there were not many people gathered, he was sure that this matter would spread through the streets of the imperial capital in a few days. At that time, another miracle in the Taoist sect will be spread wildly, although this is not comparable to the story of the peach blossoms blooming overnight, but at this critical time, the effect is only better than the peach blossoms.
His Majesty's secret edict mentioned that he would mobilize troops against Meng Yuan, and asked him to find a way to try his best to eliminate the fear of the people in the world about Buddhism. This is extremely difficult to do elsewhere, but it is not an impossible thing to do in Dasui. Because the people of the Great Sui Dynasty did not have faith, although it was not easy and simple to let them have faith, it was much easier than erasing the existing faith.
From Qingle Mountain all the way north, such a so-called miracle has been instructed to show many times. The belief of the people of the Great Sui in Taoism has also become stronger and stronger.
He knew that His Majesty the Emperor was a man who was generous and cautious, and that the Emperor would definitely take everything into account before such a big war was about to begin. The people are brave enough to fight. The people are afraid, and the war will be defeated. The Great Sui soldiers are the most powerful soldiers in the world, but it doesn't mean that they can really win undefeated. Only when the people firmly believe that this battle will not be lost, and spare no effort to support this war that has the potential to change the pattern of the world, will the soldiers give full play to their potential.
Therefore, Xiao Zhenren knew that he had to do a good job of what His Majesty the Emperor had to do.
He's happy to do it, too.
Because if this thing is done well, it will not only be beneficial to the emperor. Although Daozong has a unique position in the Great Sui, Xiao Zhenren is self-aware. In terms of overall influence and strength, Buddhism threw away Taoism a few streets. In terms of the status and cultivation of the leader, that Dalun Ming King is much stronger than him.
If such a Taoist sect is not developed with all his might, let alone this life, even if it is many more lifetimes, it will not be able to truly compare with the Buddhist sect.
The Taoist sect is located in the corner of the Great Sui, and the Buddhist sect has broadcast the world.
When he was still a lazy Taoist who cheated money in the rivers and lakes, he didn't have such a grand ideal in his heart. But since that year he cheated Yang Yi, who was still the fourth prince, out of a hundred taels of silver and a promise, his fate has quietly changed.
The fourth prince became the emperor, and he became the national teacher.
And this national teacher is not just because he is in exchange for promoting Taoism under His Majesty. When the fourth prince Yang Yi seemed to have no desire and humility and prudence in the struggle for the throne, he played an indispensable role in it. It was because of that incident that His Majesty would trust him.
Seeing that the reaction of the people was enthusiastic enough, Xiao Zhenren whispered a few words to the Taoist children outside. The Dao Tong hurriedly walked forward to find the Crane Daoist, and whispered Xiao Zhenren's meaning in his ear. The crane man nodded, and slowly walked to the farmer who was squatting next to the big pit and watching his ploughing cattle mourn, and he himself couldn't help but want to mourn.
The Taoist asked the Taoist to take a piece of silver, handed it to the farmer, and said gently: "It is really a last resort to hurt your ploughing ox, and this silver is compensated for you." Your ox has broken its bones, and it will not be able to plow the ground in the future. Go back and use this money to buy a sturdy ploughing ox, and if you have any other requirements, you can go directly to the imperial capital to find me. ”
Such a low status immediately won the favor of those villagers.
Someone started applauding, someone started applauding.
The man turned around and got back into the carriage. The peasant man was holding the silver, and he was stupid and didn't know what to say.
The team returned to the road, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites who accompanied them were all a little dumbfounded. This was the first time they had seen the abilities of a cultivator, and it was also the first time they had felt that the original human power could really be as shocking as the power of the heavens.
The team set off slowly, and the people greeted each other.
When the carriage procession passed by the edge of the woods, Tienu and the others nodded slightly to Fang Xie sitting on the branches. Fang Xie smiled and did not speak.
At this moment, the curtain of the third carriage suddenly opened a gap. A calm and cold gaze poked out of the car window, first glanced at Shen Tianfan, then quickly moved away and finally stopped at Fang Jie.
The gaze was calm, without a hint of hatred.
Fang Xie thought it was his own illusion, and when he looked over again, the curtain of the carriage had been lowered.
Until the carriage disappeared from sight, Fang Xie didn't understand what the meaning of that gaze was. There is no hostility, no resentment, nothing, calm and clear as if there is not a trace of rippling water.
But such a gaze shocked Fang Xie for no reason.
……
……
On a high slope two or three miles from the official road, a black-robed eagle vulture looked at a young man sitting on a tree branch with a pipe in his mouth with clairvoyance. The corners of his mouth were hooked, not a smile, but a cold murderous intent. Although Yu Donglai, the squire of the military department, had explained to him more than once, he really had no fear of a small person like Fang Xie who didn't seem to have a deep background.
Behind him, a row of a dozen people who were also dressed in black robes stood there, all wrapped in black robes, only their eyes exposed, cold as if there were a row of knives stuck in the ground.
"The woman seems to be in some trouble, and the rest is nothing to worry about."
The eagle vulture whispered, frowning and pondering for a while, suddenly remembering something.
"I heard...... Li Fubo of the Ming'er Martial Arts Academy, they practiced the art of war in the open space south of the city, and Prince Yi wanted to watch it in person on behalf of His Majesty? This is the last competition between the top three in the martial arts academy, and I don't know who will kill the deer. ”
One of his subordinates nodded and said, "The squire has only arranged it, and it is true." ”
"If that stupid boy Ming'er accidentally enters the game, his death in the army shouldn't cause any waves, right?"
The eagle vulture sneered, turned around and ordered, "Think of a way, Ming'er will lead him over early in the morning." The top three nobles in the Yanwu Academy are all arrogant and harsh, and some people trespass into the Yanwu place without permission and can't get good fruits to eat. Even if he doesn't die, the military department can take the opportunity to remove that kid from the list. ”
"As long as he is not a candidate of the Martial Arts Academy, what else is there to worry about?"
He raised his clairvoyance again, only to find that the young man sitting on the branch was gone.
He was less than three miles away from Fang Jie.
If Mu Xiaoxiao is here, he must be able to sense his existence.
But it's a pity that Mu Xiaoxiao entered the imperial capital and entered the inner guard.
The eagle vulture moved clairvoyance to find out where the damn boy had gone, and it didn't take long to find that the boy had walked in the middle of the official road. As if he was waving his hand in this direction, he was startled, and when he looked closely, he found that there was another procession on the official road, and there were seven or eight carriages in a row. At the front of the line, a fat man as fat as a pig was waving his arms vigorously to echo the young man.
The eagle vulture gritted its teeth and prayed in his heart that the fat Taoist man would not come with Xiao Zhenren. If the people of the Taoist Sect are involved, things will not be easy to do.
