46. Unexpected Visitor (Medium)
Twilight falls on the earth, birds return to their nests, and the earth takes on a desolate feeling.
It's a pity that there is no Hanshan Ancient Temple now, with that long and deep bell, to wake up the confused hearts of passers-by.
However, since there is no Buddha who teaches people to enlightenment, the wise man's insight into all things can also solve many problems.
Of course, there may also be the force of the brave, or the sincerity of the benevolent, there are thousands of avenues in this world, and there is always one that suits it.
However, for most people in the world, they are at most only meeting some people who are slightly stronger than them in some aspects, but it is precisely this close gap that often creates a gap like the end of the world, not only can not let them get out of the confusion, but they are more and more confused, because their inner clarity has been swayed by unwillingness, jealousy, and hatred.
And this, probably why the distant bell sounds so inconspicuous on weekdays, but it is alarming at some special times.
Although it is ordinary, it can shake the heart, break through the fog that blocks the heart, and entangle the mess in the heart.
It's just that although the bell has the ability to break the heart barrier, but it also needs the person who has been broken to have the heart to get out of that confusion, if he is trapped in the rolling red dust and is unwilling to extricate himself, even if it is Hong Zhong Da Lu, rolling thunder, but it will also not have any effect.
After all, even if it is a Buddha who is far away in the west, if he does not have the support of 800 arhats around him, he will not be able to spread his Dharma.
Well, beat the guy who doesn't want to believe in himself first, and then ask the other party with a blue nose and swollen face if he is willing to believe in his own teachings, and if he is unwilling to "repent" after all, he will directly destroy him. This method of "making friends with guns" is shouting "calm me down", but at the same time using the watermelon circuit blocker to open the ultimate. The truth of the world seems to be a little too cruel. So if you can't be Long Aotian, then following Long Aotian is the most correct choice.
After all, even if Long Aotian grabs food, money, and beauties, and goes up to eighty to a child, it seems that there is no way to live at all, but at least you can live with peace of mind for the rest of your life, if you can say a few words at the right time, maybe you can rank in the immortal class. Then you can eat and drink without worry, and find a place in the so-called continental chronicles.
Maybe many people will think that these are just nonsense words, but in fact, we always keep repeating those familiar stories, and then in the sudden retrospective, trance remembers that once or regretted to miss, or secretly rejoiced in the past, but I don't know all the way to the end, everyone thinks they are a winner, or a loser?
But. Before looking back at the beginning, we still have to find our own position and direction in this rolling red dust, and stage a human comedy that constantly makes the creator god of the world laugh and roll.
For example, the three people who are now drinking silently in the small boat.
The three men seem to have their own characteristics: one who looks short and obscene, gulps down the contents of the glass, and the act of pouring the wine into his mouth as if there is no interval between them, can only make one word feel - cow drink. But this guy doesn't care at all whether his watch is too vulgar or not, and even his one is very distinctive. Coming out of the extremely polluted environment, the face constantly changes colors as the drink increases, and one has to marvel at how one can achieve this without the help of paint. It's a man with his own CG special effects.
The other one seems to be a lot more gentle, at least there is no cup after cup of beef drink, first slowly and methodically tasted and tasted, this is a very bold cup of belly. It's just that I soon felt that such a slow drink was not refreshing enough, so I simply picked up the rather delicate wine jug with one hand and raised my hand. As soon as you raise your neck and make a few clicks, it is a long sigh of pleasure.
Only the last one, who looks like a person of real taste, smiles at the two who seem to have no scruples at all. Whoever expresses his true temperament - of course, it may be a special performance, while having a taste mentality, only occasionally take a sip, and then it is time to savor the various moods contained in the liquor.
However, the drunkenness on his face was the strongest among the three, not that he was not strong enough to drink, but that he had been drinking for a long time before the banquet for these two people, no matter how profound his skills were, as long as there was no way for a certain son to cheat, he would always be a little drunk. It's just that he drank for so long, but he was drunk and didn't fall, which can also be called a "hero".
This combination is a bit strange no matter how you look at it, but the three of them just sit there and pour themselves a drink, without the slightest awkward self-awareness.
"Sure enough, there are so many good wines in the world, but only the fine wines of Bingzhou can dominate the list, which is endlessly memorable."
The man who had drunk the most was seen that the eyes of all three men were drunk, and he spoke, as if to comment on the contents of the cup, but it sounded as if he meant something else, and he did not know whether his "listeners" understood his thoughts.
"Hehe, it's true that this wine was trafficked by a caravan from Bingzhou, but why did I drink it for a long time, but it was all my Yizhou wine. However, in comparison, this wine is much more mellow than the mash of my hometown, and it is more spicy in the mouth, and it has a little more aftertaste between the lips and teeth after drinking...... I guess I think it's using the technology that is unique to the state. ”
The short and obscene man kept looking at the wine in the glass, sniffing the mellow aroma of the wine, and swallowing it in his throat, as if he were really a virgin from the poor countryside, and had never tasted such a fine wine.
"But even if it's the same process, the taste will be very different depending on the region and the water used."
The booze seemed to find the topic very interesting, and took part in it.
"Haha, this is what only people who know wine will say, when the big floating ~ white!" Of course, you can also think that this is just a simple excuse for wanting to drink more, especially when you see the abstract artwork that is still unfinished and looks sorry for the audience, but it can make you feel a sense of innocence, which can be regarded as a generation of strange people.
So on the topic of winemaking and wine tasting, the three of them chatted together for a long time.
Until it was already dark.
Although there will be nothing like "The night gave me black eyes." I use it to find light", and I won't be as worried and scared as a little pot friend walking at night, even if the role of the legal system in this era is far less than that of modern society, but considering the few big men sitting behind this not too big boat, safety or something can still be guaranteed.
The only thing I don't know is if there will be any accidents when the boat capsizes.
Considering that this is not a nice ship, or a towering ship. So there should be no danger of capsizing.
And talk about it at night, or simply don't turn on the light and open the body in the dark, no matter how you look at it, it's more sensitive, and it's a very secret businessman's hurry.
At least that's what the three men seem to think.
"Since Liu Junlang became the pastor of Yizhou, I haven't seen the envoys from Yizhou for a long time, but I don't know what Yizhou is like now. Although the distance is far away, it is rare to have such a paradise in troubled times.
By the way, speaking of which, I also have a lot of dealings with Ji Yu, when I was in Chang'an, Ji Yu used to be my companion and accompanied me to listen to those old masters teach scriptures, although it was not for a long time. But it's still nostalgic when I think about it now. ”
The most drunk, but the most drunk, man shook his head, which was already a little dizzy. I don't know if it's because of the growing drunkenness, if I don't cut to the point, I'm afraid that today's return will end in vain, and finally I can't help but take the lead in clarifying the topic, but his words like this made the man with an obscene face gloomy. It was as if some sensitive place was stung by these words, but in the end, it didn't attack, but showed a brighter smile.
"The terroir of our Yizhou is really excellent, thanks to the ancestors, the people's life is quite rich. If you can get an excellent person to manage it, it will definitely deter Xiaoxiao and make the whole Yizhou calm and prosperous...... Of course, it can also provide more taxes for the Han Dynasty and support the imperial court in crusading against those traitors who have a disobedient heart. ”
“…… Liu Junlang is old enough to seek the country, Liu Jiyu is benevolent and loves the people, aren't these two people good enough to make Yizhou stable? ”
"Liu Junlang is indeed an old man who seeks the country, but what he seeks is not to benefit the people, but to divide the territory and cut the land to the king. Liu Jiyu is indeed benevolent and loves the people, but he is cowardly and frivolous without majesty, and such 'benevolence' will only fuel the arrogance of those traitors, even if he really hopes that the people can live a good life, but the actual result will only make the situation more chaotic. ”
"Could it be that with the assistance of a talented and virtuous person like Ziqiao, Liu Jiyu still can't make the situation settle down?"
"Hey, it's a pity that Liu Jiyu was held hostage by traitors, so that people with lofty ideals have the heart to serve the country, but there is no way to display their talents. Loose stealing from a high position, but powerless to change this situation, in fact, I always feel that I am also a corpse vegetarian. But even so, Song was unwilling to give up the opportunity to work hard, so he came from thousands of miles to bring a copy of the minister's lord's handwriting. First, I wanted to let the court understand that Yizhou was not a place to be disrespected, but there were some small ones blocking the road and it was difficult to pay tribute. The second is to hope that the imperial court can help the lord of the minister to disperse the small people around him, and return Yizhou to a clear place. ”
"This ...... It's amazing. ”
That being said, are you really surprised?
I'm afraid none of them would think so.
Although the chaos in Yizhou cannot be said to be known to the world, after all, Yizhou is a country of abundance, but it can also be said to be a place of four stops, and the traffic is very inconvenient.
However, for these three "caring people", these things are also "open secrets".
For example, the current chaos in Shuzhong is like a pot of porridge.
In fact, when Liu Yan was still there, although there were all kinds of situations, and the support for Dongzhou Shi and the suppression of the Haoqiang in Shu did attract a lot of criticism, but in the face of this powerful monarch like an old fox, everyone just slandered a few words in private, and those who dared to rebel all became another cornerstone under Liu Yan's throne of power.
It can be said that if Liu Yan can be given another ten years, Yizhou may not be like a hot potato for Liu Zhang, and he doesn't know how to start at all.
If the confrontation between Xichuan and Dongchuan can be said to be a brainless move made by Liu Zhang because of the resentment accumulated for some special reasons. Then the infighting between the Dongzhou soldiers and the localists within Xichuan was entirely caused by Liu Zhang's inability to control the situation.
Although Dongzhou Bing lacked foundation as an outsider, because of the strong support of his predecessor Yizhou Mu Liu Yan and the fact that Pang Xi, the big man, gradually gained a firm foothold in Brazil County, he still had a slight upper hand in this infighting.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that there is also a split within the Yizhou localists - Zhao Wei, who is the strongest among the localists. Although he had an overview of the defense of eastern Yizhou against Jingzhou, he was not able to win the support of Bajun Taishou Yanyan, and the attitude of Zhang Ren, another powerful figure of the Yizhou local faction, became more and more ambiguous.
If this is coupled with the instigation of some well-intentioned people, it is not surprising that Yizhou has become the messy porridge it is today.
And this result also made many people feel very disappointed with Liu Zhang, especially the locals in Yizhou.
But even if Liu Zhang was disappointed, everyone's choices were different - some planned to put Liu Zhang in the air, and then go their own way under this titular lord. Then, when a strong enemy is on the verge and the situation cannot be guaranteed, this puppet can not only get a great merit, but also ensure his own life and even fame and fortune after the war.
Some intend to set themselves up as kings, after all, in such troubled times, especially in a despicable place like Yizhou, even if they are really kings, even if they are called lonely, they are not too surprising soldiers. In particular, everyone still has lessons from the past, the grandson Shu who once claimed the title of king in Yizhou - it is not wrong to be the king and hegemon. The key is that Gongsun Shu was not able to recognize the form, if he surrendered to Liu Xiu after some bargaining, even if he couldn't get the glory of Dou Rong's family, he would be able to mix a good death.
As for the rest, it's a bit complicated, or there's no more unified idea.
But only a handful of these people. However, he also has a clear proposition, that is, he completely rejects the ideas of the first two people, and pins the hope of peace in Kawanaka on the new forces from the outside.
Obviously, they don't think that any of the current power groups in Sichuan, or someone, have the ability to stand up and clean up such a mess. And as long as this situation continues to develop, even if the whole world has been unified, all the forces here in Sichuan will still continue to play the game of war with a narrow pattern.
So they chose to jump out of the small circle of Yizhou and look at the whole world.
Or more accurately, they want to find a thigh that is absolutely thick enough to hug and then they can lie down and make a profit.
Of course, even if it is a thick thigh, it must be able to ensure the interests of a huge part of the local faction in Sichuan, after all, the only people who really care about whether Sichuan can usher in peace are probably only these native-born people, and those Dongzhou scholars, before they completely control the situation in Yizhou, these guys will not have any local consciousness, in fact, the biggest damage to Yizhou is those ruffians.
With such a premise, the first to be excluded was the behemoth in the north of Yizhou - the Bingzhou Army.
After all, the people of Bingzhou now have more and more of a sense of self-containedness, although the scholars there also learn the knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics, but the commentary on the Four Books and Five Classics is very "Bingzhou style", and if you don't plan to learn their set, the future officialdom is likely to suffer a very comprehensive exclusion, after all, they are basically from the same system.
Of course, this is just an excuse to say it, but in fact, I still feel that the thighs of the Bingzhou army are too thick, and if you want to pacify Yizhou, you don't even need the help of the natives of Yizhou at all, so it really gives people a feeling of "driving wolves at the front door and entering the tiger at the back door". If the general trend of unification of the world is unstoppable, then it is not impossible to compromise, but there are still many choices now.
Yuan Shao is actually a good choice, but when this envoy from Yizhou went to Liyang to visit Yuan Shao, he just caught up with Yuan Shao to raise troops, and advanced all the way south directly to the Guandu area, and by mistake did not see Yuan Shao himself.
He was entertained by Yuan Shao's sons, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi.
It's just a treat, but it's just putting gold on your face.
As long as I think back to those two sons who are high up and look arrogant, and the completely undisguised contempt in the eyes of those noble sons, it can even be said to be contempt. If it weren't for the fact that he had all the official documents as an envoy of Yizhou, he would probably be beaten out directly without even thinking about meeting.
Although in the end, he was still beaten with a stick.
This is really an unforgettable memory, and naturally it is an unforgettable grudge, although he said some embarrassing things about Yuan Shao in his words, it is really a bit disrespectful to the two sons who regard their father as a god, but since they want to do great things, they don't even have such a little tolerance, do they still expect themselves to send the world to him!
So, here he is.
Although there was another twist and turn, he met a different person.
Pan Sen: The Cat Creed is very good, at least the text of the first volume makes people feel very comfortable to watch, and as a DND article, it is not boring to write and easy to understand, which is more suitable for the taste of the Ropp public. (To be continued......)
