Chapter Seventy-Six: Changing the Knife

"King! The Sky Wolf Rider and the Nanren's foot soldiers were all here, and no other people's corpses were found, and General Xiao was stabbed...... There is another strange thing, the king. ”

"Say!"

"There are two hoof prints on the ground, one is to the west, and the other is to the north, and I don't know how many times to the north, but there are still ruts."

"Good!"

Yelu Dashi finally rushed to Liu Shilang Mountain, and immediately ordered his soldiers to check the battlefield situation, and the most important thing was to find the corpse of a young man, which made Yelu Dashi a little incomprehensible.

The new emperor doesn't seem to be dead, but, where has it gone?

To the west? Why are there hoof prints further west?

It makes sense to go north, it may be that the new emperor fled back to Huanglong Mansion after seeing the defeat, but what happened to the west?

Yelu Dashi couldn't figure it out, but he had to make a choice now.

"To the north! Soldiers, let's go back to Huanglong Mansion! ”

"Oooh!"

"Kill back!"

With a finger of the stone scimitar, five hundred horsemen rushed north!

Three days later......

Huanglong Mansion, the largest city in the Khitan South Courtyard, this city has a characteristic, that is, there are many towers, not only in the city, but also in the surrounding Qianmo.

The tower was not originally a thing of China, before the arrival of Western Buddhism, I did not build a tower in China, and most of them built high-rise buildings. And after Buddhism came, there was a pagoda. The tower is the floating slaughter in Buddhism, and saving a life is better than building a seven-level floating slaughter, which is the meaning.

With so many pagodas, it can be seen that Khitan Buddhism is flourishing, and many monks come here to preach, and they can even meet the king. Even, the queen of the first emperor, the current queen mother, is called Xiao Guanyin, which shows the sincerity of believing in Buddhism.

However, if you dig deeper, the word Guanyin is really misinformation, and Master Xuanzang, who once traveled west to Tianzhu to get the true scriptures, said, 'Sound, how can it be considerable? Guanyin is supposed to be Guanyin, which is a fallacy when translating Sanskrit into Chinese. ’

But the world still only knows Guanyin, but does not know how to look at it, so there is no need to delve into it.

There is a Ciyun Temple outside the city of Huanglongfu, which is dedicated to the Bodhisattva of Guanzi, and it is also the Guanyin Master in people's mouths.

On this day, a female crown dressed in a cyan robe came to the temple. Originally, the female crown cultivated the Tao, and it was really strange to enter the temple of the Buddhist family, but the door of Ciyun Temple saw it, but ignored it, and just led people inside, and came to the high tower behind the temple.

The female crown looked for the ladder and went up, as if she was familiar with the road, and it didn't take long to reach the top of the tower.

"Yu Xuanji, you came today, but you want to do the same thing as Donglin Temple that day?"

"Senior Brother Mei, don't be joking, it's time now."

This female crown is the fish mystery of borrowing scriptures in Donglin Temple that day, and fighting the master of color ringing.

And this person who is called Senior Brother Mei is an old monk with long eyebrows, dressed simply, just a moon-white monk's robe, and does not wear a robe.

This Senior Brother Mei said, "When? Why don't I feel anything? ”

Yu Xuanji frowned and said: "Senior brother, junior sister is not here to laugh with you this time, junior sister really doesn't know, why is this Khitan so good, just finish speaking?" I don't believe my brother didn't do anything......"

Senior Brother Mei smiled when he heard this: "I just didn't do anything." ”

"You ......" Yu Xuan's temperament, but she also understood, and asked again: "Senior brother, why don't you do anything?" Didn't my Demon Gate already make up its mind to use the Khitan to attack the Central Plains? If it is successful, it will be able to restore the prosperity of hundreds of schools, schools and schools, and prevent Confucianism from being beautiful today. ”

When Senior Brother Namei heard this, he also sighed, and said: "Senior sister, at this time and that time, the plan was made back then, because I saw the Khitan wandering wildly, and the clansmen were quite capable of fighting, maybe they could really win the Central Plains. But who would have thought that there was no success in the southern expedition back then, and under the agreement between the Khitan and Daqi, only ten years later, this Khitan was no longer wild. Senior sister, look at it, does the current Khitan have a chance to seize the Central Plains? ”

"This ......" Yu Xuanji knew that what his senior brother said was true.

In fact, the so-called Demon Gate is not a sect, but has a long history. I think that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all the sons of the hundred schools had their own learning, and each had its own growth, but later Dong Zhongshu suggested to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Confucianism should be respected and deposed by the hundred schools, and only one learning in the world could be popular, and all other schools of thought were suppressed.

Many talented people are unwilling, they don't want to be bound by Confucianism, so they live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, or play in the world.

The Demon Gate is naturally not called by themselves, but the name of Confucianism for these individuals, and there is no magic word in the original, but after Western Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains, Buddhism and Taoism and Confucianism in the Central Plains confirmed each other's knowledge.

This trick is really powerful, Taoist people see it, and they are also happy at the moment, it is a good thing to be able to reject other doctrines, and the Buddhist masters also feel that their own religion is new, and it can just increase their power.

The Demon Gate appeared.

After many years of blows, the Demon Gate has long been weak, but it is a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen, and there are always capable people who appear every few generations, or establish new learning, or build new achievements, and Wen Taowu is not weaker than those few doors.

In fact, there was a way out for every door in the world.

On the bright side, it is Confucianism that dominates the world, is used by the emperor's family, and wins the hearts of the people of the world.

But in fact, the two families are not necessarily weak, so they say that although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used Dong Zhongshu, the Liu family has always ruled the world with Huang Lao's learning, and he has won the essence of it.

Buddhism is even more powerful, there are always high monks to be appreciated by the emperor, when the Empress Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she preferred the study of Buddhism, in order to suppress the Taoism of the Li family.

In addition, although the emperors of all dynasties and generations say that Confucianism governs the world, in fact, they all use the methods of Legalism, that is to say, Legalism also has a good way out.

As for the Zongheng family, most of them later followed Confucianism.

The worst thing is the Mo family, who was originally good at tricks, but was said by Confucianism to be a trick, and its status can be compared with the girl in the Qinglou.

Yes, the current demon gate, there are indeed some people who are lonely.

More than 40 years ago, several masters of the Demon Gate saw that the Khitan clan was somewhat prosperous, coupled with the civil strife of the kings of the Great Qi Empire at that time, and the people were not happy, so they wanted to borrow the hands of foreign clans to revive the Demon Gate and return to the beautiful scenery of the hundred schools of thought.

This plan is a bit unbearable to say, but the people in the Demon Gate have been suppressed for so many years, and they have deep resentment in their hearts, and they really do everything.

Yu Xuanji heard Senior Brother Mei say this, she thought about it, and finally said, "Could it be that Senior Brother has another way?" ”

Senior Brother Mei laughed when he heard this, and said, "This newly rising Beidi clan seems to be three points more powerful than the previous Khitan. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yu Xuanji understood, "So that's the case, a knife was changed." ”

"yes, a different knife, but ...... If the Central Plains falls as we expect in the future, how many people will fall to the ground, and how many wives will be scattered...... I'm always a little reluctant to go. "Senior Brother Mei seems to be compassionate again.

And Yu Xuanji said simply: "Then it's better not to do this, let's fight with those sour Confucians, stinky monks, stinky Taoist priests or something!" Otherwise, be reasonable and scold them well. ”

Senior Brother Mei still laughed after hearing this, and said to his junior sister: "Senior sister, when did you become so naΓ―ve? ”

Yu Xuanji's face was slightly red, and he said: "Senior brother, I just think that our masters have been planning with us for so long, and in the end it will be a failure, and we have to change a knife like now, so this time, won't the knife rust?" ”

Senior Brother Mei nodded and said, "Senior Sister's words make sense, but this time, it's different. ”

"How is it different?" Yu Xuanji frowned.

Senior Brother Mei smiled and said, "Someone has thought of a way to not only make this knife not rusty, but also to make this knife insert into the hinterland of the Central Plains. ”

"What's the method?" Yu Xuanji was very curious.

Senior Brother Mei asked, "Why didn't the Khitan enter the Central Plains?" ”

Yu Xuanji thought for a while and said, "Because of the Wu family." ”

"No, no, no." Senior Brother Mei shook his head, "Even if there is no Wu Family, there may still be Li Family, Wang Family, and Sun Family." The reason why the Khitan did not succeed was not because of the old man Wu Dali, nor the third son of the Wu family, but because of the huge number of Han people such as me, no matter how strong the Khitan was, there was no way to win. ”

Yu Xuanji's brows deepened, "That's even more wrong right now, and the number of Beidi is even less." ”

Senior Brother Mei smiled: "So, this is a new method, junior sister, you come to think about it, this time Beidi rose and destroyed the Khitan, in fact, it was I waiting behind the boost, that day after swallowing the Khitan, the people of Beidi are barbaric, how to govern?" Or should I wait for the Han people to take care of it, yes or no? Moreover, their number is so small, if they want to enter the Central Plains to compete for deer, don't they need to wait for Han people? When the time comes, all I have to do is to keep this knife sharp, not rusty like the Khitan. ”

After hearing this, Yu Xuanji was suddenly startled and said: "Senior brother means that my demon gate is a knife bearer, and my Han people make the handle of the knife, and Beidi is just the blade, is that what it means?" ”

"Exactly." Senior Brother Mei continued: "When Beidi takes the Khitan into his pocket, I will advise the lord of Beidi to treat all ethnic groups in the country, especially the Han people, and reuse it. But the people of Beidi can't learn the style of the Han people, and the lessons of the Khitan are clearly placed here, and I believe that the lord of the country will definitely listen. ”

Yu Xuanji finally understood it completely, but he felt that something was wrong, so he said: "Senior brother, what if Beidi is not controlled by us in the future?" ”

Senior Brother Mei still smiled: "Then let's talk about it then, this is such an opportunity now, although we have wasted decades of time on the Khitan clan, but it has also allowed us to find a better way." ”

Yu Xuanji said again: "But what if the owner of this new knife changes? Just like the Khitan, they also respect Confucianism. ”

Senior Brother Na Mei laughed and said: "Senior sister, my Demon Sect didn't want to destroy the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, didn't I want to restore the beauty of the hundred schools of thought in the past?" Originally, what we wanted was not to let Confucianism be so domineering, so if we respect Confucianism, then we should respect it, as long as we can't help but learn it, it will be enough. ”

When Yu Xuanji heard this, he didn't ask anymore, everything had been understood, and many changes in the Khitan Kingdom had already been doomed.

I only heard Senior Brother Namei ask, "Senior sister, do you still want to continue to take revenge?" ”

"Of course!" With a categorical word, Yu Xuanji left the tower.

Senior Brother Mei got up, looked out of the tower, and sighed, "This country always has to change." ”

In the north of Huanglong Mansion, the chaotic flags fluttered and fluttered, thousands of military horses snorted, and the Beidi army had already been killed!

At the same time, a piece of news circulated in the Huanglong Mansion.

Yelu Dashi had abandoned the Huanglong Mansion and fled with his army......
