As a black wind swept up at the foot of the mountain, a black light flashed twice in the black wind, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of everyone.

The black wind dispersed, and a burly black-faced man, dressed in a dark battle armor, a tiger's head heart guard, and a scarlet cloak on his back, stared at everyone with two copper bells, and shouted majestically: "Who dares to obstruct the inspection of the Divine Strategy Legion?

After the ten soldiers saw him coming, an expression of disbelief appeared on their originally calm faces, they knew that as soon as the general drank the wine, he didn't care about the king of heaven, and today he didn't know why he was provoked by this nun, so he ran out, they hurriedly saluted him, and shouted in unison: "Meet Vice General Shi!"

Shi Meng stopped and responded.

Yuchuni waved the silver dust, and said lightly: "Shi Meng, you are so majestic!"

The man named Shi Meng looked at it, his beard, which was still hanging with wine, suddenly trembled, his tense face instantly relaxed, and he opened his mouth to show his big white teeth and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Sister Yu, when did you come back, why didn't you inform me?"

Yuchuni's face was cold and said: "The focus of the village, I am now a monk, and the Dharma name is Yu." Didn't I inform you to come?"

Shi Meng seemed to have long been accustomed to her cold appearance, and said with a wave of his big hand and said nonchalantly: "I don't care what kind of monk you are, anyway, you are my sister Yu, we grew up together, and we are still childhood sweethearts!"

Yuchuni snorted coldly: "Presumptuous!"

Shi Meng was excited, and it seemed that he was really a little afraid of Yuchuni's anger, he laughed twice, and said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about these old things, why did you come back? Decades ago, didn't you say that you would never return to Junzhou City? Which gust of wind blew you back?"

Yuchuni said lightly: "This is our master of Nanzong Temple, and behind him are our disciples, and this time I came back to participate in the Dao Conference on behalf of Nanzong Temple." ”

Hearing the words "Dao Conference", Shi Meng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked the captain: "What happened just now, why did you collide with the monks of Nanzong Temple?"

The captain's body trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Back to the deputy general of the stone, they are about to enter the forbidden space field in Junzhou, I saw it from a distance, and led the patrol team to come over to check, but I didn't expect ······"

The captain quietly raised his eyelids and looked at Yuchuni, Shi Meng's eyes rolled, and he instantly guessed that it must be Yu's stinky temper that offended people, he waved his hand and said: "It's none of your business here, you go to patrol other areas first, and I'll take them below to check the city later." ”

The captain hurriedly said yes and hurriedly led the team to leave to continue the patrol.

Shi Meng smiled at Yu Chuni again: "Sister Yu, it's rare for you to come back this time, one day I will go to the city to see you and take you to see the changes in Junzhou City over the years." Let's go down first, it's quite mana to float in the air like this, you know that my control over mana has not been good, and it will be embarrassing to fall down. ”

Yuchuni finally smiled faintly, nodded, and motioned for everyone to go down first.

So Yifeng and the others returned to the treasure chariot, Master Ran and Yu Chuni accompanied Shi Meng to land, and everyone landed on the outskirts of a small town, after the treasure chaplain landed, Yifeng and the others got out of the car and followed behind the three of them.

Liao Yu followed Shi Meng to the town and asked, "Shi Meng, I remember that almost ten years ago, someone sent me the news, saying that you seem to be still in charge of this more than 2,000 Golden Armor Battalion of the Partial Tooth General, how did you become a deputy general in charge of an army of 50,000 people. You look stupid and naïve, but you don't look like those smart brains can drill camps, and some people can only stay in the school captain for the rest of their lives, and there is no hope of promotion. ”

Shi Meng smiled again, his face darkened even more with his big white teeth, and he replied: "Sister Yu, you still remember me." In recent years, the establishment of the regiment has been about the same, with 10 people as a team, 100 people as a colonel, 2,000 people as a battalion, a partial general, 10,000 people as a brigade, a tooth general, a deputy general in charge of five brigades, and a regiment of more than 200,000 people as a chief general.

"Actually, it's not all the years without war, you are in Yunzhou, and you are also in the hinterland of the Great Martial Kingdom, so I don't know very well. In recent years, the border forces that had been driven out by the Dawu Empire for thousands of years have begun to stir again, and some wars will break out from time to time.

"Although I have also practiced in the Holy Academy for a period of time, my cultivation of the supernatural powers of the exercises is far inferior to yours. I mainly killed a lot of people in the border wars, and I made some military achievements, plus I came out of the Holy Academy, so I can't be regarded as wronged by a mere deputy general. ”

Yu Chuni wondered: "How can there be problems at the border? The Dawu Empire has stood for thousands of years, and its strength is so powerful that it has attracted the attention of the whole world, and there are still people who dare to move?"

Shi Meng replied: "This is very complicated, there are many reasons, and saying too much is not good for you." In this way, I will only briefly state the two points I speculated, first, among the border forces, there is a figure of the Solomon figure, and second, you should know the most fundamental reason why the Dawu Empire can stand, right? Recently, there seems to be an abnormality. ”

Yuchuni rarely showed a shocked look, and subconsciously said, "You mean God······ How is that possible?"

Shi Meng also became serious and said: "These are all my guesses, but in fact, the border of the Great Martial Kingdom seems to be worry-free now, but it is actually full of dangers. His eyes looked at Master Ran, and he hesitated.

Seeing this, Yuchuni said, "This senior brother is my most respected Buddhist monk, you don't have to hide what you have to say." ”

Shi Meng nodded and said, "In addition, within the Great Martial Kingdom, because of the rapid expansion of Buddhism, the foundation of the Great Martial Kingdom has begun to be shaken. You may not be aware of it, but when I was in the army, I felt it very obviously, and the most prominent point is that it has become very difficult to recruit soldiers now, and there is a serious shortage of soldiers. ”

Master Ran muttered: "Now the total number of the ten major legions of the Dawu Empire has more than two million troops, the number of legions in each state border is at least 100,000, and the fourteen states of the Dawu Empire also add up to more than one million troops, all of which add up to four million troops, so huge, how can it be said that the source of troops is seriously insufficient?"

Shi Meng sneered: "You can count, but you don't count the number of monks, right? According to your Yunzhou, the total number of troops in Yunzhou is only 100,000, but only your Nanzong Temple has 100,000 monks, and the entire large and small temples in Yunzhou combined, the monks are no less than 300,000, which is as much as three times the strength of Yunzhou!"

"In addition to the old monks and nuns last year, the young and strong monks account for at least half, there are 150,000, right? In this way, the number of young monks is still more than the strength of the entire Yunzhou!"

The master was silent, and the Yuchu Ni was silent.

Shi Meng sighed and said: "So you see, more and more people are escaping into the empty gate, just because the Buddha Gate has the grace of Emperor Dawu, they do not pay taxes, do not pay money and grain, and the acres of land belong to them."

With these few points, people began to pile up in the temple, and more and more officials and squires who believed in Buddhism also increased, giving countless amounts of fertile land and money to the temple.

"And the temple wantonly collects acres of land and rents them to the poor, and the tenant rents are abundant, and once something goes wrong, the Dawu court has no way to remedy it. ”

He looked behind him, and saw that Yifeng and the others were all following behind him, walking forward in silence.

He continued: "In the past two years, natural disasters and poor harvests have caused many monks and households to abandon their fields and flee the famine, begging along the road, and hundreds of thousands of victims have all crowded into Junzhou.

"How could Junzhou accommodate so many disaster victims, Emperor Dawu sent an army to block them outside Junzhou, and asked the state herdsmen and army generals to find a way to solve this matter.

Yuchuni frowned and said, "How can the state realm have the ability to solve things that the imperial court can't solve?"

Shi Meng nodded and said, "So now that all the victims are stranded in the wilderness outside Junzhou, without food, clothing, or medical treatment, many people may die in every breath now." ”

He stopped and said solemnly to Yuchuni: "So, now in fact, the Great Martial Kingdom is in internal and external difficulties, but most people don't know the truth.

"Sister Yu, I was thinking just now that you mentioned the Dao Conference, I'm very happy that you can come back. But as far as I know, this conference is just a starting point, and the specific situation is very dangerous for the Buddha's path, so you should go back the way you came. Otherwise, life will not be saved. ”
