Chapter 4 Fighting the Tiger and the Bear for Whom?
After a long night of talking, the snow dissipated unconsciously.
The two hunters were still asleep, but the sky was slightly white.
"Huhu~"
Chen Sijiu sat cross-legged, his hands folded on the dantian, and he spit out a mouthful of turbid air to open his eyes, people who practice martial arts have to eat more fine food and eat flesh and blood every day to supplement the consumption of martial arts qi and blood, and wine is the essence of food, two pots of liquor, if it is not mixed with water, it is the best Qiong Yao jade liquid, and a sip is extremely satisfying.
Yesterday, he was on the road on a snowy night, and Chen Sijiu had spent a lot of qi and blood, and it stands to reason that he would have to be weak for a few days to recover.
This pot of spicy tiger miscellaneous pot, accompanied by a gourd of liquor, made Chen Sijiu ease up overnight.
His cheeks were rosy, he looked at the two trappers who were asleep, and then at the tiger skin that had been stripped off, and sighed: "Master, you are right, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger......
Had a long talk last night.
Chen Sijiu found that the people under the rule of the Great Yuan are not as good as the Liao and Jin countries created by the barbarians mentioned by the three masters, and many Mongolians are also inferior to pigs and dogs, and there are many people who sell themselves as driving (slaves), not to mention the Han people.
"The people of the Han family in Dayuan are really difficult."
"According to the calculations of the three masters, the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the sky descends to another star, there will be a natural saint to come to the world, my Taoist family is in troubled times, the prosperous world is hidden, and now is a good time to go down the mountain......"
"Drunk and looking at the sword, dreaming of blowing the horn company camp, three masters, let's go out of Liaodong this time, enter Yanyun, wait for the opportunity to contact the Emperor of the Great Yuan, we must find an opportunity to help Huaxia, and fight for a future for my good son of the Han family.
Chen Sijiu smiled in his heart.
He went out of the mountain this time and had a heavy responsibility.
First, he was the thirty-fifth generation head of the Heavenly Master Dao.
Before Chen Sijiu left the mountain, the three masters had passed on the position of the head of the Tao to him, and he wanted to revitalize the Taoist family this time, and compete with the now rightful favor of the monks and lamas for the interpretation of the Taoist teachings.
The Dharma King was created 50 years ago, when the Great Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan called on all the great monks of all religions in the world to gather to debate the scriptures.
At that time, Zhao Zhijing, the head of the Quanzhen Dao, led hundreds of Taoist elders to debate the scriptures with the elders of Shijiao, Jingjiao, Tianfangjiao and other sects.
In the end, Zhao Zhijing and dozens of Taoist people were forced to cut their hair and become monks and become monks to study Buddhism.
This is the shame of Taoism, and it is also the source of the decline of Taoism.
"If I had been here fifty years ago, and all the religions debated the scriptures, the throne of the Dharma King would never have fallen into the hands of a bald donkey!"
Chen Sijiu thought in his heart.
After winning the throne of the Dharma King, I will be one step closer to restoring the old land of my Han family.
The three masters instructed him to first learn from Cao Cao Dong Zhuo, gain the trust of Emperor Dayuan as a powerful minister, and then learn Zhang Jiao, and start an incident with the Tao of the Heavenly Master.
The Great Yuan is in power, and the prime minister is more powerful than the emperor.
According to the calculations of the three masters, the son of heaven in the new dynasty should be the king of Ming, and the king of Ming will come to the world, and the world will be one.
This Ming Wang is a three-master who is a Chinese natural saint calculated according to the Emperor's Classics, if Chen Sijiu can find it in advance, Taoism should be prosperous.
Hu Wu 100 years of luck, Hu Wudao, Han Bichang, since the death of the sage Kublai Khan in the steppe, it has been about 50 years, according to the calculation, the age is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious!
In another ten years, it will be the time when the natural saint will rise to power.
I, a Taoist, must settle in advance in this game of changing heavens that can stir up the world.
Second, he wanted to ask the descendants of Emperor Kublai Khan of Yuan Shizu for the hundreds of thousands of Jiangnan soldiers who died in the Southern Song Dynasty who died in Burma.
Back then, Emperor Kublai Khan of the Yuan Shizu Dynasty was not bad for Empress Dowager Xie and Emperor Mo who surrendered to the Southern Song Dynasty, and he could still support nine catties of meat every day, but the Jiangnan Army, the new annexed army of the Great Song Dynasty, surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty......
Before surrendering, there was an oath to be kind to the old people.
However, the two conquests of the Japanese kingdom, more than 300,000 Southern Song and Han people, were buried in the belly of the fish.
Then conquered Annam, Java, and Burma, and sent the Jiangnan Army to death.
In particular, in the eighteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan commanded the army with Fan Wenhu, a general of the Southern Song Dynasty, and braved the typhoon to go out in the case of insufficient supplies for the army, and drifted on the sea for several months, the plague was epidemic, and the casualties were extremely heavy.
Kublai Khan did not allow the Jiangnan army to come close to Goryeo for supplies, and forced them to cross the sea to fight......
Chen Sijiu couldn't help but grit his teeth and clench his fists.
The master said that at that time, there were more than 100,000 Jiangnan soldiers who were drowned by the sea, and the belly of the whale and the sea were all Han bones.
The three masters, also at that time, were blown by the sea breeze to Yingzhou Xiandao......
Chen Sijiu pulled the animal skin jacket on his body, biting his cheek and miterating muscles, this Kublai Khan is also a generation of heroes, after all, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, the Western Xia, Dali, the Great Song Dynasty, and the land of China fell apart, and it was Kublai Khan who unified China and recreated the artifact.
But the good son of the Han family who surrendered to the new annexed army of the Southern Song Dynasty deserves to die?
At that time, those who were fortunate enough to fall on the island were captured by the Japanese to be slaves and horses, and rushed to the shore of Liaoyang, and the three masters who were frozen and tired and fell on the desert island of Yingzhou also went through hardships and died nine lives......
Not to mention, Tu Sichuan, Tu Jiangnan, Tu Xixia, Tu Hebei...... The people are plunged into an abyss of misery.
Can the revenge of the Ninth Dynasty be avenged?
Chen Sijiu took a few breaths, and his face became ruddy again.
His eyes were shining, he folded around the room, found a few pieces of dry food and cooking cakes, gently put them into his arms, threw down a dime of broken silver, and whispered to the two trappers who were still sleeping: "Two old brothers, don't pass by." ”
As he spoke, he gently pushed open the door of the stone house and walked away lightly.
When he went out, Zhao Liangha, who was still snoring before, opened his eyes instantly, he half-propped himself up, staring at the broken silver left by Chen Sijiu, Dayuan forbade the use of precious metals as currency, but this place originally belonged to the old land of Dajin Kingdom, Liao Kingdom and Jin Kingdom, both love silver, and this silver is still secretly collected in private.
Dayuan's lustful officials are very exploitative, but they don't take care of things when they receive money.
Therefore, many prohibitions among the people have long existed in name only.
For example, at that time, in Hebei, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi and other places, the Han people could only use one kitchen knife for ten households.
It was able to be implemented in the early days of the Great Yuan, but now it has long been abolished.
The monks who opened pawnshop shops because of the usury of the merchants and temples found that the kitchen knives made by the subway shops were nowhere to sell because the Han people were not allowed to use kitchen knives.
What's more, even if the Han people are pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, they still have to eat and drink, straw sandals, ramie cloth, iron pots, as well as millet and sorghum, all of which cannot be sold, and the Han people need to be able to use some money.
As a result, many of the bans have long since gone unattended.
Even if you are caught, you can get rid of the money.
Although Dayuan has five punishments, answering the death of the apprentice, etc., there is also an arbitrary and not lawless, officials and squires from all over the country, like to collect money, collect more money, the death penalty can be waived, and some boards are done.
Nowadays, the Great Yuan is very popular for silver and gold because of the lack of value in the treasure money, but most of them can only be seen in copper coins.
Zhao Liangha took the broken silver and said, "I heard that there is a silver mine in Tiefeng Mountain, do you say that this Taoist priest is holding a lot of silver?" ”
Listening to his words, Liu Shishi's eyes lit up.
The two of them were hunters, and in the deep mountains and old forests, the most dangerous thing was not all kinds of beasts, but people.
It's not a matter of killing someone here.
Not to mention listening to Chen Sijiu's words.
He's still a southerner.
Da Yuan, the first-class Mongols, the second-class Semu people, the third-class northern Han people, and the fourth-class people are other southerners.
Killing a southerner is not a harsh reproach to the Han people.
Liu Shishi turned over, gritted his teeth, his eyes were cold, and he smiled: "Yesterday I found that his arms were swollen, only as a wine gourd, just when he touched this broken silver, I took a closer look, it seems that there is really a big bag of silver." ”
Zhao Liangha frowned, and he said in a low voice: "A bag of broken silver is worth a lot of money, better than this tiger skin." ”
He looked at the Biao that Chen Sijiu beat yesterday.
Last night, he praised Chen Sijiu in various ways.
The tiger gives birth to three sons, there must be a biao, but after all, this biao has to pay the number to the royal family, there are so many hunters in the eagle fishing house, there is not much more than a tiger skin, and there is a lot less than a tiger skin.
However, if the money is in hand, it will be a real amount of money.
Zhao Liangha snorted, his eyes were fierce, and he sneered: "I think this Taoist priest is a little stupid, it seems that he has indeed been in the mountains and forests for too long, and he doesn't understand anything. ”
"It's not a good thing to carry so much money in this old forest."
Liu Shishi turned over, took out his hunting knife, his eyes were dripping, he pondered for a while, and said: "But turn your head, this Taoist priest is extraordinary, you and me, I'm afraid it's not his opponent!" ”
Zhao Liangha also frowned.
To be honest, the two are not good people themselves.
Dayuan is an empire of individual cannibalism, if you don't eat people, you will be eaten.
All because the Mongol tribes themselves were slavery.
Decades after relying on military exploits to establish the Great Yuan, it still failed to change this habit.
The princes of the high-ranking Mongolian golden family are all addicted to alcohol, greedy for money and lustful.
And the people they reuse, the monks and lamas, like to exploit the people, especially the people with the color eyes, who are more business-oriented, good at calculation, and have a lot of calculations for the people at the bottom.
In a place like Dadu, it is difficult to survive if you don't have a lively head and a ruthless heart.
This time, they came out to hunt, because of the exploitation of the color and the officials, if they didn't get a good prey and get a reward, Zhao Liangha, a hereditary hunter, would not be able to survive.
In fact, this is not the epitome of him alone, but the epitome of Dayuan's current middle-level and low-level people.
Not to mention the Han people in the north, many Mongolian ethnic groups in the headquarters of the Great Yuan are also not as good as pigs and dogs, so they simply sell themselves to Mongolian dignitaries and nobles to drive their mouths, so that they have something to eat.
After the death of Kublai Khan, the Great Yuan was in power, the prime minister was in charge, and the emperor changed eight or nine in a row.
Every time the new emperor ascends the throne, he must reward the ministers who support him, otherwise the country will not be able to sit steadily, and the reward will be doubled compared with the previous emperor every time.
In this way, even if it is a mountain of gold and silver, it can't help but give a reward.
Therefore, the emperor simply printed treasure banknotes, which made the treasure banknotes overflowing, and today's big ingots and banknotes, but if they are worth a little money, they will not be worthless.
The people at the bottom, in the adverse current of this era, can only be crushed.
Born saints, they also came into being......
Zhao Liangha squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and said: "The chief manager of Shuangcheng, Li Chenggui, the kid of Li Zichun of Qianhu, has always liked hunting, he brought a group of Jurchens to hunt bears not far away, why don't I go and ask him for help, after the matter is completed, the silver will be divided into half of him." ”
Liu Shishi said: "What if he swallows it alone?" ”
Zhao Liangha sneered: "We have more than 20 brothers in the arrest household, I called them all, Li Chenggui's kid has only more than 30 people, and he is really fighting, I can't tell who loses and who wins." ”
"But ......"
Liu Shishi hesitated again: "What if that little Taoist priest doesn't have silver in his arms?" ”
Zhao Liangha turned his head to look at the tiger skin.
"If he doesn't have silver in his arms, we will ask him to help us hunt prey, that Taoist archery is amazing, I have never seen such an accurate one in the emperor's cowardly Xue Xue (guards), maybe the archer who has won the title of Jebel can be compared with him."
Liu Shishi shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, I don't think the archer Jebe is not necessarily as powerful as him, his giant bow, to say the least, it takes ten stones to pull it apart, ordinary people can't afford to use this bow, and Baturu, who can fight tigers and bears, can't catch up with him." ”
The two of them said this, and paused at the same time.
Liu Shishi swallowed his saliva with difficulty, remembering the scene when Chen Sijiu drew his bow when he was hunting tigers last night, and hesitated: "Turn your head, I'm worried that we have called Brother Orion, plus Li Chenggui's kid, he is not the opponent of this little Taoist......"
Zhao Liangha also hesitated.
His hunter's reason told him that Chen Sijiu, a little Taoist priest, was very dangerous and more dangerous than a tiger wolf.
But his greed made him unable to let go of his obsession with killing people and selling goods.
"Fuck it, it's rich and dangerous!"
"You and I will go our separate ways, I'll go and gather Brother Orion, and you go to find that Li Chenggui!"
Saying that, Zhao Liangha packed up his things, picked up the hunting knife and hunting bow, and couldn't even take care of dry food and breakfast, so he opened the door of the stone house and prepared to go out.
Who knows, at this moment......
Sou!
A hunting fork more than one person long, like a meteor, like a splash of fire, shot from ten steps away from the very close, the power is more fierce than the artillery, directly shot through Zhao Liangha's body, and flew out backwards with him, the hunting fork did not stop, and passed through the abdomen of Liu Shishi, who was stunned and wide-eyed, and couldn't react at all, and directly strung the two of them into a string and nailed them to the stone wall.
The hunting fork pole is still buzzing.
The juice and blood were gushing, and the two of them couldn't snort a word, and Liu Shishi, who was still breathing, stared wide-eyed, bleeding from his mouth and nose, stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Sijiu in horror, and his arm hung down.
Outside in the snow.
Chen Sijiu put down the huge Yingzhou Divine Bull Bow, his face was cold, his eyes were full of regret, and he sighed in a low voice: "Brother Liu Fourteen, you are right, thirty or fifty people can't get close to us, rather than killing dozens of people, it is better for the two of you to go to hell." ”
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, we will recite a passage of the Sutra for each of you."
"Be a good person in the next life, don't seek money and kill your life, and get rich when you see it."
"The master has said, the monks who walk alone in the mountains, Taoist priests, beautiful women, old men, immature children, these five people must not be provoked, your two old brothers deal with wild beasts all year round, and the experience of the rivers and lakes is really less."
"Good wine......"
