Chapter 241 Where is the Pure Land in troubled times
There are masters like Xu Ziling, the officers and soldiers were killed and collapsed, and finally shouted and fled in all directions, three of the cavalry hurriedly rushed to the entrance of the village, just bumped into Fu Junzhuo riding a horse, and couldn't help but be shocked, but when he saw that Fu Junzhuo was a 'woman', he was happy in his heart, and when he was about to rush up and take down Fu Junzhuo, he suddenly saw that Fu Junzhuo not only did not 'show' a panicked 'color', but a sneer overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and one of her hands had been pressed to the hilt of the sword at her waist. Seeing this scene, the three cavalrymen suddenly scattered, they were not without eyesight, and immediately said that the 'girl' who blocked the way was obviously also a master of the rivers and lakes, thinking of the terrifying killer who suddenly appeared like a ghost, where did these cavalry dare to provoke Fu Junzhuo, who looked inscrutable, and turned their horses' heads and fled in other directions.
Looking at the officers and soldiers who were scattered and fleeing, Fu Junzhuo also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword at his waist was also slightly relaxed. She is now seriously injured and cannot use half of her true qi, although with her swordsmanship, even if she does not use her true qi, it will not be much of a problem to kill a few cavalrymen, but there is no doubt that the injuries that have already begun to heal will recur again, or even more serious. Fu Junzhuo knew that she shouldn't come along, but out of inexplicable snow, she still wanted to come over and have a look.
Xu Ziling is not a person who loves to kill, when these cavalry scattered and fled, he had already stopped killing, and when he saw Fu Junzhuo appear, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, of course he knew everything about Fu Junzhuo's physical condition. When the three fleeing cavalrymen rushed towards Fu Junzhuo, Xu Ziling's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he hurriedly 'shot' away.
Seeing the fleeing cavalry avoiding Fu Junzhuo, Xu Ziling secretly couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He came to Fu Junzhuo's side, looked at Fu Junzhuo, sighed and said, "Miss Fu, why are you coming with you." ”
Fu Junzhuo gave him a look of implied concern and reproach, and he couldn't help but tilt his head slightly, snorted lightly, and avoided Xu Ziling's gaze, and the originally cold words could no longer be spoken.
"Thank you for the rescue." After killing and dispersing all the officers and soldiers, the villagers who were originally crying and crying finally woke up, and the young man who rushed out first was quite prestigious in the village, and after comforting the villagers for a few words, he came up to thank Xu Ziling.
Xu Ziling politely stopped the young man from bowing down.
"If it weren't for the hero's action, I'm afraid that our whole village would be in a catastrophe, and the hero's life-saving grace would be difficult to repay, and I don't know the hero's name!" The young man couldn't bow down, but bowed deeply, looking at Xu Ziling's eyes full of emotion and reverence. But he understood that if Xu Ziling's action had not been made just now, their entire village would have been slaughtered by these cavalry, and Xu Ziling's killing methods just now were like ghosts and gods, which made this young man who was familiar with martial arts look like a celestial.
"In Xia Xu Ziling." Xu Ziling waved his hand and said, "No thanks, I also happened to meet him, now that the enemy and thieves have been eliminated, what are the plans of the brothers." "If you are an ordinary master of the rivers and lakes, you will basically have to walk away when you reach this point. But Xu Ziling was born at the bottom of the society and knew the people's suffering, so he naturally knew that things had developed to this point, and it was not enough to kill those thieves. Now that he has already made a move, he naturally can't just leave again, and he has to see if the people in this village have a way to clean up.
"This ......" The young man was stunned for a while, he came out to rebel against those officers and soldiers with enthusiasm, and did not think about it much, but now he calmed down, but found that although he had solved a big trouble, he was about to face another big trouble, killing so many officers and soldiers, it was no different from a rebellion, I was afraid that when the government knew the news, the whole village would be wiped out.
The young man was at a loss, only to hear the sound of "pounce", a person suddenly pounced, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Ask the young man to save our village, save people's lives, and win the seventh-level floating slaughter, although our clan is small, but there are hundreds of families, and now they have killed officers and soldiers, I am only afraid of ...... Ask the young man to save us. "The one who threw himself to the ground was a white-haired old man, who was the patriarch of the village, who was very clever and knowledgeable, and knew that it was too late to regret the disaster that had fallen to the ground, so he could only try his best to grasp the life-saving straw that suddenly appeared in front of him.
The young man was reminded by the old man's movements, and his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Please save us." ”
Xu Ziling hurriedly held up the old man and said: "The old man doesn't have to be polite, now that I have killed these people, I am afraid that your village will no longer be able to live, in my opinion, your village should move as soon as possible, the sooner the better." ”
The old man was reminded by Xu Ziling, and he also woke up, knowing that now that he has sat down in this big event of killing officials and rebelling, he naturally can't stay here, although he is very nostalgic for the village where his ancestors have lived for generations, but no matter how difficult it is to leave his homeland, no matter how important human life is, if there is no one, what is the use of guarding his homeland?
The old man hurriedly gathered the villagers to discuss, discussed for a long time, and finally came up with a method. He took the results of the discussion of the whole village and said to Xu Ziling: "The great grace of the young man to save his life, my clan will remember it, if he escapes this catastrophe, the whole clan will worship the immortal tablet of the son, and pray for the young man every day." As he spoke, he bowed down and kowtowed
Xu Ziling hurriedly picked up the old man again and asked, "I don't know how you discussed?" ”
"On the lotus 'flower' mountain hundreds of miles away, there is a Qingliang Temple, and my family also has clansmen who become monks there. Only the holy monks in the temple are compassionate and can take us in, and our whole village plans to move to Qingliang Temple, and take refuge in that place for a while, and then come back when the world is peaceful. It's just that along the way, there are a few bands of thieves, and our whole village has a lot of 'women' and children, old and young, in case you encounter thieves along the way, you are only afraid of ......," the old man said solemnly.
Xu Ziling heard that they already had a plan, and he was slightly relieved in his heart, these villagers have their own plans, for him, the most troublesome thing is not the process of chivalry, but the finishing work after the chivalrous righteousness, he has not encountered a similar situation before, at that time, the people he saved had no master, and he couldn't pay attention to it at all, or he took great pains to completely solve the follow-up problem. This time, it will save a lot of effort, so Xu Ziling said: "The old man doesn't have to worry, I'll send you to Qingliang Temple!" ”
The old man was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed down with a thousand thanks.
The migration of the people is naturally a major event, and if it is in normal times, I am afraid that it will take more than ten months to complete, but now the situation is urgent, and without knowing when the officers and soldiers will come again, the villagers can only pack up their things as soon as possible, only to see the important things to carry, and throw away some unimportant things. The whole village is very busy 'chaos', the villagers put on the ox cart, carry the treasured grain bags onto the ox cart, and drive the free-range poultry to the cage, a cage is carried onto the cart, the 'chicken' and duck 'chaos' chirping, the village dog barking wildly, the adult's scolding, and the child's crying 'intertwined' together, revealing a sad hometown that is difficult to leave.
When everything was cleaned up, the whole village gathered at the entrance of the village, and a group of men, women, old and young, looked at the empty village with complicated expressions. Looking at the familiar number of houses, the people who were about to flee all 'revealed' their expressions of despair and sadness.
"Ah, my village!" Suddenly, one of the villagers let out an irrepressible wail, followed by the shouts of many villagers, and some of the old people fell to their knees with tears in their eyes.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Ziling's psychology couldn't help but feel sad, ordinary people, all they want is to have a safe place to live, to be able to eat well, to wear warm clothes, why can't such a simple wish be realized? And the nobles who are high in the sky, clothed in brocade and 'jade' food, fight each other for one reason or another, and provoke one war after another. There is no greater injustice in the world than this. I couldn't help but sigh: "In this world, the most bitter people are always civilians who have no power to resist. ”
Fu Junzhuo looked at the familiar scene in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the Goryeo people who were raging under the iron cavalry of the Sui army, and suddenly his heart swelled with endless hatred for the Sui army and Yang Guang, and when he heard Xu Ziling's sigh, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "Isn't all this caused by you Han people?" ”
Xu Ziling knew Fu Junzhuo's identity and understood her hatred of the Han people very well. He could not deny the pain that the Sui army had brought to the Goryeo. Although after the master's education, he also understood the threat of the rise of Goryeo to the Central Plains, and also understood that Yang Guangzheng was correct in Goryeo. But when he saw the villagers in front of him who had to leave their homes due to the raging of officers and soldiers, and thinking of the countless people in Goryeo who had fallen into a more miserable situation than these villagers because of the Sui army, he couldn't answer Fu Junzhuo with those big truths, so he could only smile bitterly, sigh, and be silent.
"There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain."
Although this poem was written by Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty in later generations when describing the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, although the number of temples in the Southern Dynasty may not be 480, it can also be imagined that the temples of the Southern Dynasty flourished. Buddhism's 'gate' has flourished since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it reached its peak in the Southern Dynasties. The Great Sui dominated the world and was quite helped by the Buddha's 'gate', so the Buddha's 'gate' did not decline because of the impact of the change of dynasty.
In the 'chaotic' world, the common people are like mustard, with nothing to rely on, and can only rely on the blessings of God and Buddha, which makes religion popular. The monasteries have a wide range of land and property, and they do not have to pay taxes, so the monasteries often have tenants who take refuge in their names. Moreover, in this world of martial arts, monks do not produce, have no worries about food and clothing, and have a lot of time and 'essence' to practice martial arts. Therefore, although it was a time of 'chaos', the scope of the temple was very calm, and there was no suffering from labor or robbery, just like a pure land in the 'chaotic' world.
