Chapter Seventy-Five: Dark Clouds
Jiangzhou, Wufu, and the city, whether it is the front gate, the side door, or the back door, there are a lot of people lined up, standing upright on the side of the road, waiting to be received.
These people standing are not grassy people, all of them are not official or noble, and they have changed ordinary places, and they are all majestic in all directions. Now outside the Wu Mansion, he can only stand still humbly, not daring to make a loud noise. One by one, they don't even let the servants serve, let the sun in the sky bask in the sky, and they have to sweat out, and only when they sweat profusely can they show their "sincerity".
Their eyes occasionally glanced over, but once they saw the black-shirted guard guarding the door, they quickly lowered their heads again, not daring to face them.
Now at the gate of the Wu Mansion, guarded by four black-shirted guards, all of them are sturdy, with a solemn momentum, standing, as straight as a javelin, like four statues, without moving.
In the main hall of the house, two teams of black-shirted guards lined up, and the defense was even more forested.
In the hall, Wu Wencai was drinking tea and talking with a commander and a monk in a big red robe.
The commander was not very tall, with a square face, and extremely thick eyebrows, but the eyes under the eyebrows were very small, and in comparison, it seemed that there was only one eye slit.
Even though he was drinking tea and chatting, he was still wearing armor, a steel helmet, and a red tassel spread on the top, showing his extraordinary status.
Commander Zhou.
It was this time that the commander of Zhou, who was solely responsible for escorting the monks to Jiangzhou, was called "Ba" and nicknamed "Qiantu Zhou". He has been a member of the Blackshirt Guard for ten years, and is known for his violent personality, and when he sees a chicken on the road, he is upset, and he wants to fly over it and cut off the chicken's head.
The monk, dressed in a solemn red robe, with a round face and big ears, thick lips, and a nose like a gall, looked very blessed, sitting on a chair, very calm, and looked like a monk who had attained the Tao.
Wu Wencai got up and poured him tea, and said respectfully: "Master Likong, please make tea." ”
Master Likong smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Wu." ”
Wu Wencai's face was full of spring breeze: "The master is polite." This time, the master led all the disciples to Jiangzhou to work tirelessly to preach the Dharma and influence the world, and I want to thank the master on behalf of the people of Jiangzhou. ”
Master Likong smiled: "Gongzi's words are serious, since the old man entered the Buddhism, he made a grand wish to influence the people of the world, let them get out of the sea of suffering, and turn back to the shore." ”
Wu Wencai complimented himself again.
Over there, the commander of Zhou suddenly asked: "Childe, near Jiangzhou, is there any good place to hunt, I stay in the city, so boring." ”
On the other hand, Master Kong frowned, but did not speak: In the Buddhist rules, killing belongs to the precepts. However, this week's commander is a warrior in the army, and of course he will not accept the constraints of Buddhist regulations, and he can't restrain them.
Wu Wencai said: "Commander Zhou, said that it is a good place for hunting, there is really a place nearby, called Fengshan, where the mountains behind the mountains are high and dense, and there are many wild beasts, wild boars, leopards, and tigers...... Both. ”
Hearing this, Commander Zhou was overjoyed, his thick eyebrows raised, and he said, "That's right, tomorrow Commander Ben will take a few followers into Nafeng Mountain to hunt." ”
Wu Wencai hurriedly said: "Commander Zhou, if you don't dislike it, I am willing to lead the way." ”
Although he is the son of Shangshu, he has no power himself, and in front of the black-shirted guard commander who holds the power to kill, his posture must be lowered a few points in order to build a good relationship. Not to mention that he is a second-generation official, even if he comes in person, he has to keep his voice down when he sees Commander Zhou.
Because of the detached status of the black-shirted guards, they are directly under the orders of the emperor, and they are completely independent of the civil and military officials.
Master Likong suddenly interjected: "Commander, Childe, why don't you go with Lao Wei tomorrow?"
Commander Zhou sighed, and asked a little surprised: "Does the master have to go with this commander, and by the way, he can't do it for those beasts?"
Master Likong shook his head and said, "It's not a secret, this time Lao Gao has received the grace of the Holy God and came to Jiangzhou to hold a Dharma propagation conference, in fact, he has another will, that is, to build a temple on the ground in Jiangzhou and recruit believers, so as to better promote Buddhism and purify all sentient beings." ”
Commander Zhou smiled strangely: "I said, master, shouldn't you build a temple in a densely populated place in the city? ”
Master Likong said: "The commander doesn't know, my Buddhist temple, but I can't choose a random location, there must be a spiritual place, so that I can invite my Buddha to come and manifest." ”
"Well, as you wish. ”
Commander Zhou was a little impatient with his sermons, he practiced martial arts, only loyal to the emperor, and killed people without blinking. Whether it is the Daomen or the Shijia, in his opinion, they are all evil and crooked. Since it is a heretical and crooked theory, of course he will not listen to it.
Judging from the standpoint of Commander Zhou, Master Likong is simply full of fake compassion. If Master Likong dared to come to chant the scriptures to educate him, he was afraid that before the wooden fish could knock, he would be killed by him without hesitation.
Tomorrow can go out of the city to hunt, Wu Wencai thought about it and was a little excited, saying that the busyness of the past few days had honestly tossed him a lot, and it was just right to go out to play.
You must know that the excitement of hunting is sometimes more refreshing than visiting the green house. It is also a great opportunity to establish a good relationship with Commander Zhou and Master Kong, which should not be missed.
......
The Dharma propagation conference in Jiangzhou City was in full swing.
At the beginning of each day, thousands of people came to listen to the lectures.
The sound of the bells, the puff of the wooden fish, and the rhythmic chanting sound, unconsciously, people seem to be extradited to the legendary Western Elysium, illuminated by thousands of auspicious lights, and the whole person seems to be reborn from the fire.
Thoughts arise, faith is born.
The common people have unknowingly become believers, accepted the theory of reincarnation, and accepted the theory of suffering......
For such a grand event, the government has an order to order the college to cooperate with the holiday.
Wang Fu once went to listen to the Dharma propagation conference, but after listening to it once, he didn't want to go a second time, that was a kind of torture for him, what kind of suffering in this life and enjoying happiness in the next life, I, bah, where can I be chic in time to be happy?
For many concepts of propagating the Dharma, Wang Fu can't accept it, and no longer goes to join in the fun, it is better to run a few more times to the Qinglou, listen to the pipa, and let the beauties play the, why not?
Originally, Wang Fu wanted to ask Chen Jianchen to have fun together, but when he visited Chen's house, Mo Sanniang said that Chen Jianchen had gone out to study and was not at home.
Hearing this, Wang Fu was stunned: Go out to study?
The so-called study tour, but it is a practice of scholars and talents, the sage book has a saying: read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles. That's probably the case, but so far, the study tour has become less and less important, and it is too bitter.
For example, Wang Fu asked him to go on a study tour, and he simply swam to the Qinglou. The sun is still good at noon today, and suddenly there are dark clouds in the sky in the evening, and it is going to rain again......
