Chapter 26: The Difference Between Buddhism and the Way
The truth of the matter was revealed, and after returning to the village, Qin Yu and Huikong also informed the villagers of Yunhe Village about the obstruction of the demon Dao.
Before and after this incident, Wang Er was also a victim, and it was naturally impossible for the two to conceal this matter, so that the Wang family continued to suffer from the misunderstanding of the villagers.
As for the aftermath, it is not a matter for Qin Yu and the others.
Outside Yunhe Village, Qin Yu and Huikong had already gotten into the carriage and rushed towards Youlan County.
Before going to Changle County, I still had to go back and tell Yang Chen about this matter.
Anyway, now Qin Yu is also the gentleman of Baicao Academy, and I don't know how much time this trip will take.
If you start from Yunhe Village, you will probably be able to arrive in the afternoon, and then tell Yang Zhixian about the situation, and you will probably be able to leave in the evening, and the time will not be delayed for too long.
On the carriage, Qin Yu was also very curious about Huikong's origin, so he couldn't help but ask.
From the oral account, I learned that he came down from the Qixia Temple in Jinling to practice, and went to Youlan County the day before yesterday. After learning that something strange had happened here in Yunhe Village, he hurried here, and just happened to meet the situation of last night.
It can only be said that it is not as good as it is coincidental, this just arrived in Yunhe Village, not only surpassed Liu Yan, but also happened to learn about this demon Dao.
In all fairness, if he was alone, Qin Yu would not have the confidence to be able to find the trouble of the demon path alone, but now with the help of Huikong, he also has a little confidence in his heart.
Judging from his surpassing Liu Yan, this person's mana is profound, and he can never be an ordinary person.
The two had a good conversation along the way, and before they knew it, the carriage had already driven into Youlan County.
Zhang San drove the carriage to the gate of the county government, and after putting Qin Yu and Huikong down, he hurriedly returned to Liu's mansion and told Liu Xun about Yunhe Village.
In the past few months since he came to Youlan County, as long as he has time, this Yang Zhixian will invite Qin Yu to come to the mansion for dinner, exchange some poems and songs, or the way to govern the people.
This time and again, almost all the yacha in Youlan County knew this new gentleman.
At this time, seeing Qin Yu get out of the carriage with a monk, the yacha guarding the door first glanced at the monk curiously, and then greeted Qin Yu kindly.
"Mr. Qin, I'm here to find Lord Zhixian."
"Exactly, please let me know."
"This is not a coincidence, because the spring farming is busy, Yang Zhixian went to the farmland outside the city early in the morning to check the situation, and now he is not in the house."
"Then I don't know when Yang Zhixian will come back."
Yacha looked at the sky, it was already noon at this time, and then said: "Maybe it's soon, why don't you wait for Mr. Qin to go to the mansion first." ”
Qin Yu nodded, and seeing that Huikong on the side had no objection, he arched his hand and said, "This will bother you." ”
"Where is Mr. Qin, please come in."
When I came to the main hall, the yacha who led the way had already retreated.
Huikong's gaze glanced at the main hall, and then he spoke: "Master Qin, the little monk saw that the yacha respected you so much, could it be that you are from the official family. ”
"Hehe, I'm just a teacher, and the magistrate of this county often invites me to come to discuss the scriptures, so I'm familiar with this back and forth."
"I see, now that the world is in chaos, Lord Qin has such a ability, if he rests on the officialdom, it will be a pity."
Qin Yu smiled and didn't say anything more.
The two waited in the main hall for more than half an hour, and in the courtyard outside the main hall, Yang Zhixian had already returned with two messengers.
When he saw Qin Yu and a strange monk sitting inside, his expression was stunned, but he soon showed a gentle smile.
As soon as he walked into the main hall, he arched his hand at Qin Yu and said, "Seeing that Mr. Qin is fine, presumably the matter of Yunhe Village has been resolved." ”
Qin Yu returned the salute, and said with a smile: It's simply not as good as the mission, by the way, Lord Yang, this is Master Huikong, a senior monk of Qixia Zen Temple, the matter of Yunhe Village, I trust Master Huikong to help, this is not dangerous. ”
When Yang Chen heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly arched his hand at Huikong and said: "It turned out to be a senior monk of Qixia Temple, the official was rude, remembering that when he went to Jinling to study, he admired the reputation of Gui Temple for a long time, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to go." ”
"Lord Yang." Huikong folded his hands in return, but he smiled at Yang Chen's words and didn't say anything.
Yang Chen didn't say much when he saw this, after all, the monks looked down on fame and fortune, not to mention, only he knew how many of those words just now were scenes.
After greeting for a while, Yang Chen sat down in his seat, and then asked, "Mr. Qin, the matter of Yunhe Village has been resolved, so I don't know what I came here for today." ”
"After my investigation with Master Huikong, I found that this matter is not simple, someone is behind the layout, if this person is not brought to justice, there will be more such things in the future."
When Yang Chen heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect that there was such a thing here.
"Then the purpose of Mr. Qin's visit today is not to ask the official to send officers and soldiers to search the nearby villages?"
"That's not it, Master Huikong and I have already learned that the demon path is in Changle County at the moment, so we are going to leave in the afternoon, but because the time is uncertain, the Baicao Academy may have to postpone the start of school, so I came to tell you about it."
"So that's the case, Mr. Qin doesn't have to worry about the postponement of the school, the little girl also loves to read on weekdays, and during the time that Mr. Qin is not in Youlan County, how about letting the little girl teach on his behalf."
Qin Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, if this was the case, it would naturally be the best.
"In this way, there will be Lord Lao Yang and Ling Qianjin, and now it is not too early, so I will set off with Master Huikong."
"From Youlan to Changle, if you take the official road, it will take at least ten days, if you take the waterway, it will only take five days, you two wait a minute, the official will go and write a letter, you take it to the official post, and there will be a fast boat for you."
As soon as they heard that it could reduce the time by five days, Qin Yu and Huikong couldn't help but show a smile on their faces.
"In this way, it will trouble Lord Yang."
Leaving the prefect's office, the two went to the official post to show Lord Yang's letter.
Sure enough, as Yang Chen said, the official office here quickly prepared the clippers used.
From Youlan County to Changle County is downstream, plus it is spring now, blowing the southwest wind, if you go downstream, it will be much faster than usual.
In the cabin, Qin Yu and Huikong sat opposite each other.
Through the window, you can just see the undulating river outside.
"Master Huikong, this demon Dao has carefully laid out such a situation, but it has been destroyed by the two of us, will he notice that something is wrong and has already left Changle County."
Qin Yu looked at the scenery outside, a little worried.
Huikong shook his head slowly, took a sip of tea, and then said:
"Although the little monk doesn't understand what the purpose of this demon path is, since the other party is trying his best to cultivate an eight-yin ghost, then this matter is definitely not simple.
What's more, it takes time for the cultivation of the Eight Yin Powerful Ghosts to develop, so this demon Dao will definitely not leave Changle County in a short period of time, and it will definitely wait until the Powerful Ghosts spread the news of the massacre of Yunhe Village to Changle County before they start to close the net. ”
Qin Yu pondered for a while, feeling that what he said was correct, and couldn't help but sigh: "Master Huikong is really well-informed, and he can't do it yet. ”
"Lord Qin is a disciple of Confucianism, and he has little contact with Buddhism and Taoism, so it is normal not to know all some things."
"Listening to Master Huikong's words, could it be that you have dealt with Taoist people?"
Taoism, as the native religion of China, Qin Yu has always had a great interest in his heart, not to mention that the world he is in now is so bizarre, so Taoism must be extremely extraordinary.
"There has been contact, but what they pursue is the way of heaven, and the way of heaven is ruthless, so the people of Taoism are all pure-hearted and unapproachable, and they are contrary to the purpose of Buddhism, so the contact is not deep."
Qin Yu nodded, this point was not wrong.
Taoism is the most ruthless, but this "ruthlessness" is the ruthlessness of heaven, the heart is like stopping water, and the pursuit of "dead heart" requires indifference and lack of desire, "not close to human feelings".
For example, Liu Yan last night, this is the wisdom of Buddhism, knowing that she is innocent and being used, and has a heart of remorse, so she is willing to overtake her reincarnation.
But if you meet a Taoist person, it is also excessive, but the method is "physical" transcendence, if the demons in the world encounter a Taoist person, the result is bound to be a life-and-death situation.
Not only theoretically, but also in many modern film and television works, this point of view is conveyed.
No matter whether the evil is good or bad, as long as it is not human, Taoist people will not let it go easily.
But if it is said that Buddhism is all compassionate, it is not necessarily true, for example, Fahai in the more famous film and television works, although he is a Buddhist person, he also seems to be unkind.
