Chapter 572: Ten Thousand People Defected
On the way back, Yifeng asked Shuli how Ah Shui's injury was, Shuli's expression was solemn, but he still shook his head and said: "Kui Wood Wolf extracted Ah Shui's Tianyi Shenshui Shenque, this Shenque was not even able to absorb the fusion of the second senior brother at that time, it seems that Kui Mu Wolf studied the fusion method of the Shenque faster than the second senior brother, which made me very uneasy." Ah Shui's injuries were not serious, but his breath weakened a lot. ”
Yifeng nodded and said: "I feel that in the news from the second senior brother, there is always something to hide from us, no matter what, we must fight quickly this time, when we occupy the periphery of Junzhou and threaten Junzhou, Wei Yu will definitely let the strongest remaining legion, the Zuo Longwu Legion, return to defend Junzhou, so that the pressure on the second senior brother can be relieved, and then we will join him and attack Junzhou together!" ”
The plan has been decided, the two took Xuanluan across the grassland, to the Dajue Temple, Yifeng felt that the time was too early, and wanted to go to the Danhuang Buddha Cave to see, after all, here they sacrificed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Buddhist monks and guarded, here is the treasure of art, but also the crystallization of the blood, tears and souls of Buddhist monks.
Master Luntai is not at ease, although he himself is seriously injured, but he is still very persistent with some Buddhist monks to accompany Yifeng, now the Northwest Buddhism is in ruins, many issues need to be discussed together, and they can also talk while talking.
But when they walked from the north to the south from the Danhuang Buddha Caves, they suddenly discovered something unexpected to them: they saw a huge procession coming from the south, and at a glance, there were no less than 70,000 or 80,000 people!
These people were in rags, not like soldiers and horses of some legion, and looked more like the people of the northwest, but strangely, there were not many old and weak women and children among these people, all of them were young and strong men of the right age.
Master Luntai immediately sent someone over to inquire about the situation, according to this posture, I am afraid it is not as simple as coming to Danhuang Buddha Cave to worship the Buddha statue.
Seeing this, Yifeng thought for a while and said: "They are unarmed, there should be no malice, let's go over first, they are coming today, I'm afraid it's not a bad thing for us." ”
So Yifeng and his party walked towards the south, and halfway through, the monk who inquired about the situation came back, his face was excited, and he hurriedly ran over, and said happily: "Buddha, master, they are all here to join us!" ”
Master Luntai was quite surprised, but Yifeng and Shuli glanced at each other, but they were not so surprised.
After a while, they met with those people who came from afar, and at the head was a sturdy northwestern man, with dark skin and white teeth, who came up and bowed down to Master Luntai and Yifeng and others.
Yifeng and Master Luntai hurried to catch up at the same time and helped them up, Yifeng said, "What's your name and what's the matter?" It doesn't have to be like that, let's talk about it when we get up. ”
The leading man stood up, and the people behind him also got up one after another, the man did not answer Yifeng's question first, but glanced at Master Luntai and Yifeng, and asked, "May I ask who you are, little master?" ”
Master Luntai hurriedly said: "This is the leader of the Dawu National Wind Roaring Army Monk Corps, and he is also the contemporary Buddha of the Dawu Buddha Dao, and the Dharma name is Yifeng." ”
The man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "I've heard of you, oh, no, it's to hear what you said, we have heard about your puja on the Southwest Ancient Road, and the private school in our town said that you said very well, and he told us every sentence." ”
He was stunned, he didn't expect that the words he said at the Dharma meeting on the Southwest Ancient Road that day could spread so far and have such an impact, and he was also very surprised, and said, "Then what did your husband say? ”
The leader said: "The others don't understand either, so we only understand one sentence: You are fighting for the sake of future generations of Buddhist monks." When we heard this, we all felt that what you were doing was what we wanted. ”
Yifeng and Shuli glanced at it, and they were quite relieved.
At this time, a young man next to the man urged: "Brother Wang, you haven't answered the little master's words yet!" ”
The man patted his head and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I forgot the etiquette when I first met, we are rough people, don't be surprised by the masters." ”
Yifeng and the others all smiled, and the man continued: "I am from the southwest of Suozhou, my name is Wang Gang, my family has been a cropper for generations, this war has been fought for a long time, but it has not affected us, the lord of the government still takes care of the collection of taxes, and we also take care of farming, originally this matter has little to do with us, but my wife gave me a slap and woke me up." ”
Yifeng looked at Wang Gang suspiciously, and the young man next to him complained again: "Brother Wang, you said the point, but the masters didn't understand. ”
Wang Gang smiled innocently, scratched his head, and said, "Master, don't be surprised, I only went to school in the town's private school for one year, and I can't afford to go to school, and I can't speak." But I know the truth. My old lady told me that we have been farmers and poor people for generations, and our life is a little better in my generation. So I went to school for a year, but my mother's illness spent all the money.
"After several years, the disease has not been cured, and the money is not enough, so my brother and I borrowed money everywhere to seek medical advice, but everyone in the village is poor, who can afford to let my mother see a doctor? We really have no choice but to let my mother wait for death. But one day I saw an old monk at the entrance of the village, he saw that I was in a hurry, so he asked about the situation, and then asked me to take him home, the old monk saw my mother's illness and prescribed a prescription.
But I told him that I didn't have the money to get medicine, and it was good to have a prescription, but it didn't matter if there was no medicine, the old monk listened, took out some medicine from his baggage, and gave it to me first, so that it could be boiled into a medicinal soup for the old lady to drink, and he would come again after a while.
I was very happy at the time, kowtowed to the old monk, and after he left, I kept holding this recipe and medicine for the old lady to drink, and I have been waiting for the old monk to come again. The old lady drank and her body improved, and I was happy in my heart. But the days passed, our wheat seedlings have budded, he has not come back, the soup I boiled out of this medicine has changed from black to white, and I can no longer boil a little medicinal taste, it is the same as drinking white water, and the old monk has not come back.
"At that time, I was almost desperate, and I felt very bad in my heart, the old monk, either don't come, my old lady will die if she dies, no one is to blame. But as soon as the old monk came, he told me that it was good, my old lady was cured, and of course I had a hope in my heart! But the old monk said that he wanted to treat my old lady, but he never came back, isn't this torturing me alive? From then on, I hated the old monk in my heart. ”
Wang Gang said excitedly, Yifeng Shuli and Master Luntai looked at each other, their faces were ugly, as the saying goes, fighting rice to raise grace, bearing rice to raise revenge, it is not uncommon for grace to take revenge, people's hearts are too difficult to speculate, too chilling.
However, Wang Gang continued: "But on the day I decided to throw away the dregs of the medicine that I had been reluctant to throw away for many days, I came out of the grass hut and saw the old monk returning! At that time, I was so happy that I was about to tear down the thatch on the house, and I forgot my hatred for the old monk, put down the medicine jar and ran over.
But the more I ran, the more I felt that something was wrong, the old monk's walk was too slow, he looked at me happy, and walked towards me with a smile, but his leg was limping. I asked him at the time, but the old monk didn't want to tell me that his monk's robe also covered his feet. At that time, I only remembered the old lady's illness in my heart, and I didn't care much, just took medicine from him, and he took out a lot of medicine from the back basket behind him, but the strange thing is that many medicines are very dirty, with dirt, I was still thinking at the time, which lacked virtue of the pharmacy to sell to the old monk, and it was too bullying, and the herbs were sold before they were cleaned up.
"I was so anxious, looking at these herbs that were the same as before, I immediately ran out to pick up cow dung and firewood, and when I came back, the old monk had already left, and I didn't think much about it, so I began to boil the medicine again. Halfway through the boil, the next door neighbor Ergouzi came to me in a hurry, saying that he had just watched an old monk come out of my house, he thought it was a thief who stole the house, and he was carrying a basket, so he helped me to keep an eye on it, but I didn't expect to see the old monk fall to the ground and faint before he reached the entrance of the village. He didn't know what to do, so he came to me. ”
I was also anxious, and ran to the entrance of the village with him, and just saw my brother coming back from the field, so we carried the old monk back to the house together, and when we got home, we lifted his leg to take a look, which frightened us a lot! He had a strip of cloth tightly tied to his left calf, and there was a fist-sized hole in the leg under the strip, and the whole leg was broken, as black and mushy as a burning stick, and there was pus, and there was a great stench, why didn't I notice it before! ”
