Chapter 810: Dharma Protector
Li Dayong originally saw that the river was not very wide, and the piles of the bridge were also there, thinking that it was easy to cross the river, but he found some trees and wanted to build a bridge, but he repeatedly failed. If they crossed the river on foot, most of them could have crossed it with their skill, but the horses were in a difficult situation.
Li Dayong's brother, usually everyone calls him Xiaowu, thin and smart, seeing this, he said: "Big brother, my grandmother said that anyone with four legs will be able to water." Let's ride and swim over! ”
Li Dayong looked at the surging river, pulled his beard, and said, "Then you try." ”
Xiao Wu immediately turned over and got on the horse, knocked his legs on the horse's belly, and shouted, "Go!" Go! ”
The horse was obedient, and jumped into the river with a "porphyr" sound, and walked forward for a moment, and then his whole body sank into the water, and then he floated, and Xiao Wu was overjoyed: "Haha! Big brother, you see, my grandma is right, it's really passable! Drive, oh! Ahh ”
Although the river is not wide, the river is fast and deep, the horse under Xiao Wu's crotch fluttered forward a few times, there was no root under his feet, and he was washed by the turbulent river, and he floated away, Xiao Wu rode on the horse and pulled the reins and kicked the stirrups, which made the horse anxious, and almost didn't shake him off the horse.
Xiao Wu had to give up the struggle, hugged the horse's neck with both hands, and shouted: "Big brother, help!" ”
Li Da was so brave that he rolled his eyes, and the brothers next to him hurriedly untied their belts, and when the belts were connected into a long rope, Xiao Wu had already floated and sunk and went downstream.
Li Dayong angrily ordered one of his subordinates to take the rope made of the belt and chase him down the river on horseback, and then led eight or nine brothers with crotch trousers to look at the rolling river in a daze.
How could they know how to build a bridge, so they had no choice but to send people to a nearby village to hire people, and Li Dayong stood guard at the bridge.
After Zheng Yu learned that Yang Fan and the others had crossed the river, he immediately turned around and walked back. Running all the way, when he was about to reach Luoyang City, there was a fork in the road, and a stone bridge on the road led to the direction of Longmen, Zheng Yu didn't think about it, so he led his men to turn down the road, and only ordered two people to rush back to Luoyang City to warn their companions guarding the city gate.
There is only one road from Luoyang City to Yique Longmen, and the high and knee-high crops on both sides of the road stretch their bodies towards the rising sun. Belle spirit.
Zheng Yu and his party ran to Yique in one breath, and they didn't bump into Yang Fan and his party all the way, and when they saw that there were already people working in the field, they inquired about the farmer, who was standing in the field with a hoe. Listening to their explanations, he smiled and said, "There is such a group of people. The line was hurried and very embarrassed. Running to the mountains, who are they? ”
"Thief!"
Zheng Yu sneered, whipped his horse, and rushed towards the mountain.
It's spring, and pilgrims often come and go in the mountains. In fact, Wu Zetian worships Buddha, and there are countless large and small temples in Luoyang City, but some believers always feel that they are pious when they go farther. The Bodhisattva built in the mountains is effective, and the copper smell of the temples in the city is too strong, so the Longmen pilgrims are continuous, and some come late. They live in the temple and leave the next day.
When Zheng Yu and his party entered the mountain, they saw some pilgrims who had returned early coming out of the mountain one after another, and Zheng Yu asked these people again.
The goal of Yang Fan and his party is too obvious to hide, these pilgrims have not yet come down the mountain, they were seen halfway up the mountain, and listened to the high-rollers in this line of fresh clothes and angry horses, and the pilgrims kindly pointed out, saying that the first group of horseback riding guests went around the back mountain.
Behind the mountain is the hot spring mountain, the territory of the hot spring soup supervisor, that is the royal forbidden land, ordinary people can not pass, Zheng Yu is proud to do things for Liang Wang Wu Sansi, the whole dynasty, in addition to the emperor, the number of their princes is the largest, and they don't care in their hearts, and they lead the people and horses to kill the hot spring mountain.
Zheng Yu reined in his mount under the winding stone path, raised his head and looked up, only to hear a horse neighing from the mountain, Zheng Yu sneered and said, "Get off the horse, go up the mountain!" ”
A group of people have dismounted, tied the horse to the mountain, pulled out the sharp blade, and then climbed up the mountain along the bluestone path violently, just climbed to the front of the first stone archway, just listened to a loud shout in front, from the back of the archway, set up, "pong" jumped out of a group of people.
These people are vigorous, their movements are neat, although the direction of jumping out is different, the way of jumping out is also different, some flash, some jump, some volley, some somersault, but when standing in a straight row, just this neat and tidy force, it is impressive.
Zheng Yu was startled, and saw that these people were all wearing gray robes, wearing bamboo hats, wearing mango shoes on their feet, trouser legs with leggings that were chasing thousands of waves, and they were all carrying a dark whistle stick in their hands, the tip of the stick pointed obliquely at the ground, and their eyes were chasing the tip of the stick, so they could only see their chins.
Zheng Yu shouted: "Who are you?" ”
One of the gray-robed men said in a deep voice: "The royal forbidden land, what do you want to do when you wait for the open fire to fight?" ”
Zheng Yu is at the foot of this Tianzi, of course, he can't admit his identity, and he can't talk about it, and they are usually arrogant and accustomed people, and they have always said the same, how can there be anything that makes people ask about the origin, if they don't agree with each other, they immediately drink the order to shoot, since they can't go up the mountain smoothly, then let their subordinates see the real chapter.
After two fights, Zheng Yu knew the origin of this group of people, and in the hand, some gray-robed people were knocked off their hats, revealing a big head, and there were two lines of ring scars on the top of their heads, Zheng Yu knew that these people were warrior monks from unknown temples on Longmen Mountain.
This group of bald donkeys, who have nothing to do every day, are full of food and chanting, all of them are practicing vomiting, and the rest of the time is to dance guns and sticks to practice fists and feet, one by one, steel and iron bones, extremely vigorous, and they can fight compared to them who are self-conscious in their skills.
The most hateful thing is that this group of bald donkeys and helpers, seeing that they are numerous, I don't know which monk shouted, and a group of monkeys seemed to pop out of the bushes, and a group of warrior monks with heavy sticks came out and joined the battle group.
Zheng Yu and his gang were beaten to the point that their heads were broken and bleeding, their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and they couldn't resist anymore, so they had to fight and retreat down the mountain.
When Zheng Yu arrived at the bottom of the mountain, the group of warrior monks did not chase after him, and disappeared into the jungle in an instant, Zheng Yu was angry and hateful. Just as he was helpless, a group of people rode in the distance, and the momentum was amazing.
The group of people who arrived was Li Dayong's gang, they found the villagers to help build the bridge, both the heavy reward, the bridge was built and it was convenient for the villagers to travel, naturally very hard, and so the simple bridge was built in a hurry, Li Dayong and his party led the horse to carefully cross the river, and then went straight to the dragon gate.
They inquired all the way. rushed to the bottom of the hot spring mountain, and happened to see Zheng Yu and a group of people coming down from the mountain with a disgraced face, some limping, some with blue noses and swollen faces, as if they had just been beaten up.
Li Dayong hurriedly greeted Zheng Yu and asked, but he was annoyed when he boarded, and said viciously: "This group of bald donkeys must be the warrior monks of several monasteries on this mountain. One family alone can't muster so many people, damn it! They actually stood with Yang Fan and fought against us! Walk. Now you and I are together. Then go up the mountain! ”
Zheng Yu said with palpitations: "I can't do it!" I don't know how many people there are in that group of bald donkeys, they are fighting like Sa Huan'er, and they occupy the geographical advantage and are condescending, not because my brother looks down on you, you and I join forces. It is also difficult to bargain under them. ”
Li Dayong said angrily: "So what? Do you want to see them stay in the mountains? ”
Zheng Yu sneered: "If he hasn't entered Beijing for a day, it won't be considered settled." Don't worry, I have sent someone back to report the news, and when the prince gets the news, he will have a proposition. You and I will stay at the bottom of this mountain to prevent them from escaping, and we will make decisions on other matters when the prince arrives. ”
Li Dayong had no choice but to rest with him at the foot of the mountain.
On the mountain, Yang Fan saw Zheng Yu and his group retreating down the mountain in embarrassment, so he said to an old monk next to him: "Thank you Zen master for your help!" ”
The monk was about sixty years old, with a red face, no wrinkles, only a slight slack at the corners of his eyes, and a beard under his chin. He was wearing a yellow robe, a pair of mango shoes under his feet, no robe, no monk's hat, no Buddhist beads, only counting a string of prayer beads in his hand, completely dressed casually in the meditation room.
This old monk is Fa Zheng, one of the top ten monks in Luodu who concocted the "Great Cloud Sutra Shu" and was given a purple robe by Wu Zetian, and is the leader of the monasteries of this Yique Longmen.
Fa Zheng smiled slightly and said: "The donor has the emperor's secret decree, and there are hundreds of horsemen and internal guards to follow, and what he does is the right thing." This group of people is fighting with open fire, and they dare not declare their identities, and what they have done can be imagined. The monasteries of Longmen often receive the royal sesame oil reward, this hot spring mountain is a royal forbidden land, and the old man is a neighbor, how can he stand by and watch? But ......"
Fa Zheng glanced at Yang Fan lightly and said, "Why are these people here, why are Yang Shi Masters guarding, should they also let Lao Wei know?" ”
Yang Fan pondered for a moment and said, "The disciple's trip is to protect a nobleman!" ”
Fa Zheng's eyes were straight, but his voice was still calm: "How noble?" ”
Yang Fan smiled slightly and asked rhetorically, "Which Buddha is the most noble in the Buddhist family?" ”
Fa Zheng said with a smile: "Hehe, since you have become a Buddha, you have attained perfection, and since you have attained perfection, there is naturally no distinction between high and low, so how can you rank?" ”
Yang Fan smiled and said, "Zen master doesn't want to fight with his disciples. Between the Buddha and the Buddha, there is no distinction between high and low, there is always a seat, right? Let's put it this way, the Buddha of the past, the Buddha of the present, and the Buddha of the future, which Buddha Zen master is the most respectful? ”
Fa Zhengdao: "The old man lives in the present, and the most respectful is the present Buddha." ”
Yang Fan said: "If you say this, then what the disciple is protecting is the future Buddha." ”
He slowly turned to the direction of Luoyang and said lightly: "Now the Buddha is there!" ”
The prayer beads that Fa Zheng twisted stopped for a while, and after a moment, Fang resumed twisting, but the speed was much faster.
Yang Fan said: "The Zen master has remorse? ”
Fa Zheng shook his head lightly and said, "Lord Yang has a holy decree, and the old man guards the Dao to protect the Fa, what is there to regret?" Just ......"
His brows frowned slightly, and he said, "It's just that since this noble man is so noble, the old man's Taoism is limited, and I'm afraid he won't be able to protect him for long." ”
Yang Fan smiled and said, "Zen master rest assured, the journey is difficult and dangerous, and the disciple has expected it." It was a bit of a surprise to be able to get here. However, since I'm here, then...... Vetuogaran, the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, the Dharma Protectors from all sides should also come! ”! If I can give you a happy time on this National Day, then I will be very happy too.
