Chapter Seventy-Eight: All living beings are my sons
Hu Shen asked again: "Then Master asked you, what do you want to do when you grow up?" ”
Le Zhengxian was about to say something, but he held back and changed his words: "Like Master, be a geographic, learn the art of war, benefit the world, and be a virtuous and virtuous person." ”
Hu Shen asked again: "Do you know what the world means?" ”
Le Zhengxian shook his head: "I know, but I don't seem to know." ”
Hu Shen looked into the distance: "Xian'er, everything you can see with your eyes is the world, but Master knows that you don't actually want to be an earthly physiognomy, right?" ”
Le Zhengxian hesitated, nodded and said, "My father said that when I was born, he calculated a hexagram and said that I was a burly man and wanted to be an official. ”
Hu Shen nodded: "The man takes the burly man and fights the horse into the court." ”
Le Zhengxian said again: "He didn't let me learn what he was to be a coffin opener, and the rules didn't allow it, it didn't end well to do that, and in the end of my life, I even lost my ancestor's surname." ”
Hu Shen sighed: "However, you still want to be the coffin opener, right?" ”
Le Zhengxian nodded: "Yes." ”
Hu Shen said: "I have been exposed to it since I was a child, and when I grow up, I inherit my father's business, and everything comes naturally." ”
Le Zhengxian was silent, and asked for a long time: "Master, what feng shui magic did you teach me, Qimen Dunjia, and the method of catching demons and subduing demons." But it's been so long, the ghost hasn't seen it, and the demon hasn't seen it, is it useful to learn these things? I remember my father told me a story about a man who learned the art of slaying dragons for decades, but at that time he found that there were no dragons in the world. ”
Hu Shen looked at Le Zhengxian and asked, "Then let me ask you, if there is no dragon, why is there a dragon slaying technique?" ”
Le Zhengxian replied without thinking: "Deception." ”
Hu Shen shook his head and said: "The so-called dragon slaying technique is actually the art of power and strategy, and in the art of war, it is to teach people how to plot and usurp the throne." ”
Le Zhengxian still didn't understand, but said: "I don't know, I don't understand, anyway, I know that your spells are all lies." The last time you scared the villagers, you used to ignite the fire, but it was nothing more than phosphorus powder. ”
Hu Shen frowned and said: "If I don't do that, I won't be able to treat that family, before me, they have driven away several Langzhong, and in their hearts they have already decided that the family is not sick, but possessed by ghosts." In the past, China was too powerful, and for thousands of years, it eventually became rigid and self-serving, and most of the people could not fully understand the words of the sages, and under the premise that they could not open the wisdom of the people in a short period of time, they could only use deception to lead them, which is the saddest and most helpless fact, you don't understand it now, and you will understand it later. ”
Le Zhengxian nodded as if he didn't understand.
When he recalled this, the door opened, and a person appeared at the door, Le Zhengxian came back to his senses, turned his head and found that it was Sun San, and immediately got up.
"Dashuai." Le Zhengxian stood upright.
Sun San smiled and said, "Look at your posture, have you been a soldier before?" ”
Le Zhengxian said with a smile: "I did, but because I was a soldier for the purpose of espionage, I ran away after a few days." ”
Sun San motioned for him to sit down: "Do you have a lot to ask me?" You are different from Tang Anshu, in my opinion, Tang Anshu is actually a mute, he can make friends, but he can't make friends. ”
Le Zhengxian just laughed.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not sowing discord among you." Sun San looked at the telegraph next to him, "I know very well that you are actually very puzzled in your hearts, why I didn't think about using Jinling Jian." ”
Le Zhengxian nodded.
Sun San sighed slightly: "You have been a soldier, but you have never been on the battlefield, right?" ”
Le Zhengxian said: "Before the war, I ran away. ”
Sun San asked, "Do you know why those people want to be soldiers?" ”
Le Zhengxian said: "In the past, it was to protect the family and defend the country, but later the world was in turmoil, the warlords were divided, and most people became soldiers just to eat. ”
Sun San asked again: "Then do you know why so many ordinary people have rebelled for thousands of years?" ”
Le Zhengxian replied: "Because they can't live anymore." ”
"Yes, it's because they can't live anymore, the people are actually very simple, they have enough to eat, there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, they will live their lives obediently and peacefully, and what the rulers do is not only to let the people be fed and clothed, but to make their lives better, every night before going to bed, they have to look forward to the sun rising tomorrow, so that they can live with hope and hope." Sun San said lightly, "Therefore, the husband and soldier, the ominous weapon, the object or the evil, so there is no place for those who have the Tao." ”
After that, Sun San laughed self-deprecatingly: "Although I am not a righteous gentleman, I am not a person of the Tao, but I also know the preciousness of life, I once had five sons and four daughters, but none of them lived past the age of 10, I asked myself, why?" It wasn't until later that I met a monk. I asked the monk, why am I like this? The monk said that I killed too much, I don't understand, I said that there are many more people in the world who kill more than me, why do they live so well? ”
After Sun San finished speaking, he sighed and said, "The monk asked me rhetorically, how do you know that they are doing well?" Are you them? How do you know what's going on in their hearts? Before leaving, the monk said eight words, all sentient beings are my son. ”
After listening to this, Le Zhengxian said, "If I remember correctly, this sentence is from the "Myoho-renge-kyo". ”
Sun San shook his head: "It doesn't matter where you come from, the important thing is to be kind and save all sentient beings." Although the wall is about to fall, if I don't push it, I am not a wicked person, but I know that there are people under the wall but I don't save them, I am extremely evil. ”
Le Zhengxian nodded: "Dashuai is merciful." ”
Sun San shook his head: "I am not compassionate, all beings are compassionate." ”
Le Zhengxian got up and clenched his fists: "Le Zhengxian will go all out." ”
Sun San clenched his fists: "Please." ”

Yongcheng Governor's Mansion Hall.
Fu Guodong sat there, picked up the teacup and put it down, got up and walked two steps, returned to the chair, and then raised his eyes to look out of the door, very uneasy.
Finally, a figure came from a distance, and Fu Guodong immediately greeted him, he didn't need to see it clearly at all, he knew that it must be Qiu Gubo, because now only Qiu Gubo can freely enter and leave the Governor's Mansion.
Fu Guodong asked, "Adjutant Qiu, how is it?" ”
Qiu Gubo didn't think that his official would be promoted so quickly, a few days ago he was a guard platoon leader, but now he has become an adjutant Qiu under one person and above ten thousand people.
Qiu Gu Boli was standing up, and just about to salute, his hand was held by Fu Guodong.
Fu Guodong asked urgently: "How is the matter with the reinforcements?" ”
Qiu Gubo said: "Dashuai, I have already sent telegrams to Wuhan Daily, Declaration, and Shizhao Daily in Wuhan, Shanghai, and Chongqing respectively in accordance with Tang Anshu's instructions, and also remitted the money for advertising, I think there should be news within a few days." ”
Fu Guodong was puzzled: "Didn't you ask for reinforcements?" Why advertise newspaper telegrams in these three places? Is it looking for recruits? ”
"No, it's not." Qiu Gubo shook his head, "Marshal, there is only one reinforcement." ”
Fu Guodong's eyes widened: "What?" Alone? ”
Qiu Gubo said: "Yes. ”
Fu Guodong looked at the serious expression on Qiu Gubo's face, knowing that he wasn't joking, so he said, "What kind of reinforcement is a person!?" What are you and Tang Anshu thinking? ”
Qiu Gubo didn't answer, just looked at Fu Guodong, who was anxious.
Fu Guodong asked again: "Adjutant Qiu, do you believe in Tang Anshu?" ”
"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to find out the ins and outs of the whole thing on my own, and I wouldn't be able to calculate Sun San's calculation of you at the last moment, and Sun San didn't have any drastic actions when he saw the failure, but instead let Tang Anshu use his radio, which shows that he needs Tang Anshu, and he can trust Tang Anshu." While Qiu Gubo was talking, Fu Guodong had already turned around and walked towards the lobby.
Qiu Gubo followed behind Fu Guodong and said, "Since Sun San can trust him, why don't we believe it?" ”
Fu Guodong stopped: "It's because Sun San believes in him that I don't believe it, because Sun San is a scheming man!" ”
"Dashuai!" Qiu Gubo stood still and said solemnly, "If the disease of corpse wind is really used as a weapon, it is not a ruin, but a self-destruction, I think Sun Dashuai's decision is right, so now that the matter has come to this, if you don't believe Tang Anshu, you have to believe it." ”
When Fu Guodong was about to say something, Qiu Gubo continued: "Besides, I think the most important thing at the moment is the city defense, I have already asked the people from the trench to check, and the spies have also been sent, within five days, I will put the new city defense map on the table of the marshal." ”
Fu Guodong's voice lowered: "I can't trust you, I really can't trust Tang Anshu, how many times have you met him?" How many words were spoken? Just believe in him? What if he is bought by Sun San? ”
Qiu Gubo frowned slightly: "Dashuai, I believe him because he doesn't trust people easily, if you don't believe him, it means that you don't believe me, or I take off my military uniform and go back to be my detective, or you simply drag me out and kill me." ”
Fu Guodong pointed at Qiu Gubo: "You ......"
Qiu Gubo stood there with his chest up, not moving, and said no more.
Fu Guodong shook his head, walked back to his Taishi chair in the lobby, and thought for a long time before shouting to Qiu Gubo, who was still standing outside: "What are you doing with a pestle?" The head is so high, it's about to break the sky, you beg for rain? In! ”
Qiu Gubo couldn't hold back a laugh, put on his hat and walked in.
Fu Guodong sighed and said: "Even if Chen Bozhong's soldiers are temporarily trained, they will not become a climate, even if he buys heavy weapons from foreigners, it is not easy to break through the walls of Yongcheng, what I am most afraid of is the earth around him, Tang Anshu's master Hu Shen, I heard that this person can do tricks and spells." ”
Qiu Gubo said with a smile: "Dashuai is too worried, if he knows spells, Tang Anshu would have reminded us a long time ago." ”
Fu Guodong said again: "Also, what did Yansun say before, the strange dog thing, it was done by another trench team, is there any news about them?" ”
Qiu Gubo shook his head: "Not yet, but Secretary Xin has already gone to investigate, and he went in person." ”
Fu Guodong frowned and patted his forehead: "Damn, I can't trust anyone around me except you now." ”
Qiu Gubo diverted the topic: "Dashuai, I still have to remind you, don't put your hope on that corpse wind, the more times like this, the more you have to remember that that thing is not a weapon, it will only kill itself." ”
Fu Guodong glanced at Qiu Gubo and nodded silently.
