Chapter 13 Dali

Dali belongs to a small border country, not one of the 400 feudal states personally sealed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the common name of many ethnic minorities in the north of the Han Yi River, mainly the Bai nationality. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Eight hundred years ago, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty captured a large area of territory north of the Han Yi River, many ethnic groups in Dali, led by the Bai people, chose to submit to the Han Dynasty and were given the name Dali by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In order to prevent the Dali clan from rebelling, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty divided the Dali clan into six and placed them in the six geographical corners of the Shenzhou map, and cut off all ties between them.

More than 800 years have passed, and some Dali has been completely integrated into a certain country, or has disappeared in the war, but there are also several Dali countries that have been inherited to this day, and Dali on the border of the Southern Song Dynasty is one of them.

The war between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom has never affected Dali, a small country outside the world, so compared with the people in the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, the life of the people of Dali is simply not much better.

As soon as you enter the border of Dali, you can easily feel the style of the Southern Song Dynasty at dusk, from a distance, the mountains and rivers are still green mountains and green waters, but the residents here are full of vitality and love for life from the heart that the people of the Southern Song Dynasty do not have.

This can't be blamed on others, the Southern Song Dynasty court was addicted to the sound of dogs and horses and couldn't extricate itself, and even the helmsman of the court was obsessed with calligraphy and painting, which made the Southern Song Dynasty court, which was already declining, more and more decaying. Just ask how such a court can get the support of the people, and how to make the people under its rule healthy!

On the other hand, Dali, the situation is different, there are not so many internal and external troubles, although the Duan clan of the Dali royal family is not said to be wise and martial, but under the supervision of Tianlong Temple, how dare Emperor Dali indulge in dogs and horses like the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. What's more, Tianlong Temple has the right to abolish the establishment, under this high pressure, the rulers of Dali do not dare to relax in the slightest, which also makes Dali is now peaceful.

I am accustomed to seeing the faces of the people of the Southern Song Dynasty full of dishes, and then look at the heartfelt smiles of the people in Dali at this time, and my heart is even more sour at dusk.

Although the Tianyuan monk has been to Dali many times, but every time he comes, he sees that the residents here have reverence for his monk's identity from within, which makes the Tianyuan monk who is in an indifferent mood can't help but sigh, when Shaolin was still the leader of the martial arts, the disciples were all over the world, and at that time, the people of the Southern Song Dynasty also revered the Shaolin monks.

It's a pity, hey, now, Shaolin is no longer the Shaolin of the year, as the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, Shaolin has been closed for decades, and I am afraid that many people in the world have long forgotten the existence of Shaolin.

With mixed feelings, the two brothers headed towards Dali.

At the end of March, the two brothers who had been away from the temple for more than 20 days finally felt outside the city of Dali from the Shaolin Temple.

Looking at the towering city wall in the distance, the monk Tianyuan did not directly enter the city to meet the king of Dali, nor did he go to the holy land of Dali, the Tianlong Temple in Diancang Mountain, but led the dusk to a beautiful mountainous area in the east of Dali City.

The mountain is not high, the highest is not more than 120 zhang high, and the water is not deep, the deepest is not more than three or two feet deep.

But it is such a place that can only be regarded as a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, but it is the retreat of the former Dali Emperor Duan Zhixing, that is, one of the five unique masters of the famous rivers and lakes, and the master of a lamp.

Going all the way up the winding mountain road, Dusk couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother Tianyuan, could it be that Master Yideng is living in seclusion here!" ”

It's not dusk suspicion, it's just that this place looks like an ordinary hill, and it doesn't look like a place where there will be high-ranking people.

"You're smart..." Glancing at the young man, the Tianyuan monk smiled: "We are here at the invitation of the master of a lamp, so naturally we have to come to meet the master of a lamp first!" ”

"That's it..." After thinking for a while, Dusk said: "In other words, Master Yideng is not living in seclusion in Tianlong Temple, doesn't it mean that the monks of the Duan clan are all in Tianlong Temple, why doesn't Master Yideng stay in Tianlong Temple, but comes to such a place!" ”

"You know a lot..." With a light sigh, the monk Tianyuan explained: "Master Yideng was indeed in Tianlong Temple when he became a monk, but last year, I don't know what the reason was, Master Yideng moved out of Tianlong Temple and took the four masters of Yuqiao Farming and Reading with him to live in seclusion here!" ”

"That's it..." rubbed his head and thought about it carefully, as if in the Condor Trilogy, there is indeed no existence of Tianlong Temple, could it be said that Tianlong Temple has declined now, or rather, it is because Tianlong Temple is the same as Shaolin at the moment, pursuing the admonition of not asking about trivial matters in the rivers and lakes, and the concept is not in harmony with the master of a lamp, and the master of a lamp will move out of the Tianlong Temple...

Headache, I thought about it for a while, and after I couldn't figure it out at dusk, I put this problem behind me, anyway, what does Master Yideng have to do with him if he is not in Tianlong Temple, he just followed Senior Brother Tianyuan to play soy sauce and see the rivers and lakes by the way, that's all.

After figuring it out, I was even more looking forward to the master of the lamp I was about to meet, so I urged the monk Tianyuan: "Senior brother Tianyuan, then let's hurry up, I really want to see what kind of demeanor the famous master of the Nandi lamp has!" ”

"Don't worry, you'll see you today!" With a word of relief, a trace of reverence flashed in the eyes of the Tianyuan monk, and he whispered: "Master Yideng is a real enlightened monk..."

"Enlightened monks..." Hearing this word, Dusk couldn't help but pout, and said in a low voice: "Is it a Taoist monk like Uncle Wuneng, or a monk like Master!" ”

Dusk's words made the look on the face of the monk Tianyuan condense, and he glanced at the young man embarrassedly, seeing that he pretended to be curious, he was annoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and flick it on his head, and said: "Don't say bad things about the master and uncle behind your back!" ”

Rubbing his head, he stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, but he secretly discussed in his heart, hum, I'm not allowed to tell the truth, isn't the master just a monk who has attained the Tao, but I still see the scene of him ignoring the image, in my own opinion, the so-called Taoist monk, I'm afraid it's all like this!

The young man's face was cloudy, and the Tianyuan monk naturally knew what the young man was thinking in his heart, but when he thought of the virtues of the master and the master of Wuneng, the Tianyuan monk who was in an ancient state of mind was also replaced by deep helplessness at this moment.

"Ahem..." Coughing lightly, Monk Tianyuan explained a little pretentiously: "That, the master and the master of a lamp are both eminent monks, but the Tao of the two people is different, and you will understand when you see the master of a lamp!" ”

"Oh, yes..." said perfunctorily in disbelief, but the dusk is clear, and there are a lot of bad things that the master of the lamp has encountered!

The young man didn't believe it, and the monk Tianyuan didn't bother to explain, anyway, he was about to arrive at the destination, and when he saw the real master of a lamp, the monk Tianyuan believed that his senior disciple of Kongming would definitely recognize what the real monk was...

"Ahem..." to hide the thoughts in his heart, the monk Tianyuan silently recited a few words of Amitabha, how could he complain about his master, he must have learned badly with Senior Brother Kong Ming during this time.

was glared at fiercely by Senior Brother Tianyuan, scratching his head at dusk for unknown reasons, is Senior Brother Tianyuan annoyed and angry...
