Chapter 631: Could it be that there is really a destiny?
Jiangxian County.
The people didn't know that Wu Nian's hands had gone to steal the gods and the Buddha's money. But they saw the list released by the government.
General Fu Han wants to pray for rain for all the people.
The people liked to hear about it.
Even in modern society, there are people who believe in Buddhism and Taoism. Some people even famously say, "The end of science is metaphysics." ”
If there really are gods and Buddhas in this world. People burn incense and worship the Buddha, asking for retribution, health, peace, and wealth.
If everyone has retribution, then what else does the law do? Everyone is healthy, and doctors are going to be unemployed. If everyone is safe, there will be no one who dies in vain.
If everyone is rich, then wealth is not worth much.
But here is antiquity. There are few people like Wu Nian. The people all believe in Buddhism and worship the Tao. Now there is a natural disaster, and everyone is miserable. The crops are famine, and Wu Nian's promise is there, and they are not afraid of starvation.
But if there is no water, they will either die of thirst, or they will become vagrants, leaving the land and going to a place where there is water to earn a living.
Neither of these paths is a good choice.
The Han people have relocated to their land. The homeland is difficult to leave, the grave of the ancestors, how can you give it up?
But when people are desperate, they naturally pin their hopes on [metaphysics]. Worshipping the heavens, monks, and Taoism are all things that the people are willing to do and see.
When a family dies, no matter how poor they are, they have to invite someone to recite the scriptures. No?
What's more, it was General Fu Han, who personally set up an altar to ask for rain?
When the news spread, when the temples and Taoist temples in Erfu and even Nanhai Mansion responded to Wu Nian and gathered in Jiangxian County, the people were very happy.
I feel that the general Weide is the world, and with so many monks and Taoists working together, he will definitely be able to move the heavens and rain down.
The patience of the Han people is too strong, as long as they boil it again, boil it again, and they can get over it.
Although the darkness is long, the dawn is only in the next moment.
The people need this kind of spiritual sustenance.
The altar is located in the east of the city. General Fuhan's Mansion came forward and bought a large piece of land. In the past, if this kind of thing happened, the people would definitely be reluctant. But Wu Nian enclosed the land this time, and the people were very willing, and some people said that they didn't want money, which was considered to be a merit.
Wu Nian sent troops to open the mountain, took down huge stones, and built a huge altar. Making the ritual utensils needed to pray for rain, step by step, walked very calmly.
This did not cost the Fuhan General's Mansion a copper plate, but there was a surplus.
General Fuhan's Mansion, in the backyard, in the gazebo.
Wu Nian and Liu Zhixing sat on the stone bench across the table face to face and spoke. Gongsun Sang stood aside, respectfully. He is a young man after all, and he is still very energetic. Looking at this gazebo, looking at this backyard, my heart is very excited.
"This is the General's backyard. The outer courtyard and the backyard are distinct. In the past, only Changshi, Sima, and Gongcao could report here. Unexpectedly, I also have today. ”
For all people, the taste of rights is wonderful.
Wu Nian's Fuhan General's Mansion was not only an anti-Mongolian organization. It also represents a thriving new force.
No matter what it is for, those who can do things and do good things are good officials.
"General. The results are calculated. This time, the monks and Taoists were exploited, and an altar was set up to beg for rain, and after the expenses were spent, there were still 35,232 taels of silver left. ”
Liu Zhixing smiled and turned the last page of the account and handed it to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian stretched out his hand to take the account, looked at it casually and put it down. With a look of pleasure on his face, he said, "Thirty-five thousand two hundred and thirty-two taels of silver." Although for me, a general of the auxiliary Han who has more than 100,000 elite soldiers, I can't satisfy my appetite. But it's also a mouthful of fat. ”
"Gongsun. This is a good thing. Wu Nian raised his head and praised Gongsun Sang.
"Thank you, General, for the compliment." Gongsun Sang's heart was very excited, but he kept his composure on his face and bent down to say.
"Hmm." Wu Nian bowed his head slightly, undisguised his appreciation.
"These monks spend so much money just to get close to me. lest I slaughter them, and kill the chickens for their eggs. Case. I've got to give them some face, too. Tomorrow a fasting feast will be held, regardless of the size of the monk and the Tao, all invited. I had a fast meal with them. ”
Wu Nian looked up at Liu Zhixing and said.
"Yes." Liu Zhixing responded.
Immediately, he said goodbye with Gongsun Sang, left the pavilion, the backyard, and went back to the front yard to work.
"Again. All roads lead to Rome, and the living cannot be suffocated to death by urine. There's no such thing as a hurdle that can't be passed. So to be a man, you have to be open-minded. ”
Wu Nian stood up and stood with his hands in his hands, with a smile on his face
Although the road ahead is steep mountains and mountains, and the waves are big. But when I meet mountains and rivers, I will eventually walk out of a broad road, and I will be invincible in the world.
Next.
Wu Nian, a butcher who does not cultivate good fruits in his life and is good at killing people and setting fires, feasts monks and Taoists. With the host of Hongfa Temple, the master of Huilongguan, and other famous monks and famous Taoists sit at the same table, and the monks and Taoists are full of large and small monks.
Time.
Wu Nian, the big butcher, also seemed to have turned into a great benevolent person, and his eyebrows were kind.
And these monks and Taoists who were afraid that Wu Nian would raise the butcher's knife and kill chickens and eggs also took a long breath, chatted and laughed with Wu Nian, and ate fasting.
The auspicious day has arrived.
Early in the morning. It's not dawn yet. Wu Nian sent troops to 10,000 households, along Jiangxian County to the altar, and put them on strict guard.
Musicians, ceremonial officials, monks, Taoists, Confucians, and officials and leading figures in Jiangxian County begged for rain outside the city. When the people heard the news, they were moved, not only the people inside and outside Jiangxian County, but also the people from all over the country who came with their own dry food after hearing the news.
There are even Nanhai Mansions from it.
There are hundreds of thousands of people.
The people need a sustenance.
And Wu Nian gave this sustenance.
Although the Fuhan General's Mansion was a small imperial court, it did not have a uniform dress. For this matter, Wu Nian asked people to design dresses. That is, a red caftan with black veil on his head.
Wu Nian himself wore a purple brocade robe, a golden crown on his head, and a sword. Majestic and extravagant. Lead hundreds of officials, in the music of musicians, in the recitation of monks and Taoists, hold a ceremony to worship the sky.
More than 100,000 people gathered, men, women, old and weak, bowed to the heavens and prayed for rain. This scene is extremely huge.
Although Wu Nian does not believe in heaven, he does not believe in Buddha and God. But it is also a marionette, although it is sweating profusely, but it is very disciplined and does not act recklessly.
At the end, when he knelt down to the heavens and prayed to the emperor and queen earth to give rain. Meditate in your heart.
"Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, Yan Emperor Shennong. Although I don't believe in heaven or Buddha. But reverence for ancestors. I also know that there is no resurrection from death. ”
"But I think it's time for rain today. You say. Right? ”
Just then, the sky flickered.
There seems to be a dragon flashing.
