Chapter 209: Mo Kequan is offered
"It seems that this wind and rain are urging you, and you don't want to bow your head and refuse to regret it!" The former power sacrifice believes that there is no one in this world who can shake his heart to the Buddha.
He became an orphan at the age of seven, and was adopted by the old director of Beiyuan Temple, and later became an ordinary little novice of Beiyuan Temple for more than 20 years.
The little novice who was once devoted to the Buddha has now become a powerful man who has terrified the government.
More than 10 years ago, when he was still studying Buddhism in the temple and vowing to become the host, he watched as the old host, who regarded him as his father, was indiscriminately cut off by a group of officers and soldiers.
Along with the old host, dozens of monks in the Beiyuan Temple were killed. That night, the entire Daxiong Treasure Hall of Beiyuan Temple was completely soaked with blood, and under the witness of those kind Buddha statues, Beiyuan Temple became history.
And because he was too young at the time, an officer and soldier did not want to kill him, so he threw him off the outer wall of the monastery.
The original little novice became a little beggar again. After becoming a little beggar again, he also pondered a question in the dead of night.
The Buddhist scriptures he had read before said that only those who had sinned deeply would suffer the suffering of the world until the suffering was enough to offset their karmic debts before they could finally be reborn in the Buddha realm.
But what he didn't understand was that the old host of Beiyuan Temple had never done a single evil thing in his life, so why he and the senior brothers in the temple were still slaughtered by the government.
Could it be that in their previous lives, they were all full of evil and heinous? But the Buddhist scriptures also record that the heinous people have been beaten into the path of beasts and hungry ghosts, and since they can be reborn in humanity, it means that they should not have committed any major sins in their previous lives.
He had been distressed for a long time, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.
Until one day, when he was begging, he met a young Taoist and discussed with others who were the spirits of all things in this heaven and earth.
Since the questions they discussed were so interesting, Kwon Xianzhi, who had been familiar with Buddhist scriptures, also wanted to hear how he viewed life outside of Buddhism.
And in the process of discussing between the Daoist and the old man, Quan Xianzhi heard the young Daoist say something that shocked him extremely and changed his life.
"The playthings in this world are competing with each other to survive, so the survival of the fittest is natural selection, and the reason why man becomes the master of the world is because man is more ruthless than other animals." These words were like a slap in the face, and the right to give it completely woke up.
Since then, he has had a point of view in his heart, that is, if you want to survive, you must fight, fight with this heaven and that land, fight with everything in this world, and more importantly, fight with people.
Since then, the original weak and bullying beggar has disappeared, and has been replaced by the brave and ruthless Quan Xianzhi.
Soon, Quan Xianzhi became a local tyrant, and even the government had no way to take him. However, as the saying goes, the moon is full and the moon is lost, and there will never be a shortage of people more ruthless than you in this world, and two years ago, Quan Xianzhi met a group of refugees who fled from other places.
Originally, there was no conflict between the two sides, but one of Quan Xianzhi's subordinates went to snatch a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl from the group of refugees because he couldn't control his lower body.
After insulting the little girl, the guy was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he killed the little girl. Originally, he thought that he had done this matter perfectly, and no one would know.
But who knew that he still found clues because of his omission. Then a large number of refugees surrounded the man and beat him to death.
Although this incident was the fault of Quan Xianzhi's subordinates, he still felt that he had lost face when his subordinates were beaten to death by outsiders.
So he went with a large group of people to find the refugees to find a place to get back. In his opinion, these refugees must be yellow-faced and thin-skinned without eating or drinking, and as long as they threaten the other party a little, they will definitely obediently give in.
But what he didn't expect was that when he came to find those refugees with his subordinates in a fierce manner, a group of refugees actually picked up wooden sticks and stones and beat them to the ground.
This made Quan Xianzhi completely angry, and he thought that these refugees had lost his face, making it difficult for him to raise his head in the rivers and lakes in the future.
So he bought off the government and asked the government to find an excuse to give these refugees some colors to see. No one expected that when the official Xianzhi and several government officials found the refugees again, the leader of the refugees directly cut off the heads of those officials, and carried their heads directly into the city.
The refugees then ransacked the city's wealthy families and distributed all the weapons of the city guard camp to the refugees.
The refugees then declared that they had revolted and officially joined the Grass Army. And Quan Xianzhi, the person who single-handedly provoked trouble, was also tied up by refugees.
Originally, Quan Xian thought that he would not escape death this time, but no one expected that the leader of the refugees not only did not kill him, but also let him join his team.
And the leader of this group of refugees is named Jun Keyi. It wasn't until later that Quan Xianzhi knew that this Jun Keyi was the younger brother of the number one military master of the Grass Army, the jade-faced Zhuge Jun Kezheng.
He and Jun Kezheng were also the same as those who used to be high school jinshi. He was also dismissed from his official position because of his brother's involvement, and then he also joined the grass army.
But unlike his brother, he was a grass army, but he was always trying to find ways to collect refugees, train them, and send them to various places.
Therefore, although he is not well-known in the grass army, he is an indispensable figure in the grass army. He himself is also the most low-key existence in the grass army, and even the various rankings in the grass army do not have his name.
When this Jun Keyi knew that he was once a monk and could read and write, he became a love for talents, and after some group talk, he joined Jun Keyi's command.
And under the influence of Jun Keyi, he also began to gradually realize how ridiculous his previous theory of strength was.
At the same time, he also truly understood the purpose of the grass army, which is: to eliminate tyranny and equalize the world. So he gave himself the alias of Quan Moke, as a way to warn himself that he should treat others with a Buddha heart.
But at the same time, he also understands that a bodhisattva must not only have a compassionate heart, but also a thunderous means. If everyone in Beiyuan Temple understood this, then he would not be the only one left in Beiyuan Temple now.
So the later Quan Xianzhi became a very strange person. He treats the common people and ordinary people like a high-ranking monk, but when he faces corrupt officials and bully squires, he is like a Shura in the underworld.
Therefore, he was also called Blood Shura by local governments, and became one of the twenty-four generals of the grass army wanted by the government.
At this time, the reason why Quan Xianzhi appeared in Shouzhou City was because the grass army had been planning to attack Shengzhou, but because Shengzhou was the southern capital, the imperial court sent a large number of troops to garrison Shengzhou.
In addition, Zongzheng Temple is also in Shengju, resulting in Shengzhou and many vassal kings' guards. In addition, the combined strength of the three sides of the Shengzhou City Guard Battalion was no less than 20,000 people.
The Shengzhou army is not only numerous, but also well-armed and well-trained, although the grass army is also quite numerous, but in the face of such a regular army and high walls and deep ditches, they can only sigh.
Therefore, under the discussion between Jun Kezheng and Jun Keyi, they formulated a plan for the grass army to first capture the surrounding area of Shengzhou, surround it, and then gradually encroach on it.
Therefore, Huainan Kingdom, which is adjacent to Shengzhou, has become one of the new targets of the Grass Army. In order to ensure that he could take Huainan this time, Jun Keyi took him, Wu Zhongquan and Yu Guangqing to Shouzhou City, the capital of Huainan State, to inquire about intelligence.
Originally, Quan Xianzhi was supposed to work with Jun Keyi to find out the information, but yesterday when he was eating in Huanyan Building, he suddenly heard someone reciting a half-Buddhist poem.
And also said that this Buddhist poem was written by Mu Qingliang, the son of Qi State, and what is even more exaggerated is that some people say that Mu Qingliang, the son of Qi State, is the reincarnation of a great Buddhist monk.
As for the reincarnation of the spirit child, Quan Xianzhi has only seen it from some Buddhist scriptures. He once asked the old host, but the old host was secretive about it.
He just said to the young Quanxian: I don't know how to say about the past. Since then, Quan Xianzhi has no longer deliberately studied the theory of reincarnation.
Originally, Quan Xianzhi could completely ignore this kind of untrue statement, or even laugh it off.
But when he heard that half of the poem, he had to pay attention to it. Because he had seen the half of the Buddhist poems made by Mu Qingliang, to be exact, he had seen the whole Buddhist poems.
And when he was fortunate enough to see the whole Buddhist poem, it was also because of the old host, because this Buddhist poem was recorded in the old host's codex.
That codex is also a marvelous book to be celebrated. It is not said that it is a strange book because there is anything peculiar about the contents of this codex, but because of the way it is written.
When the old host wrote this codex, he did not use ordinary ink, but used a mixture of blood from the tip of his tongue and cinnabar.
This codex, known as the "Bloody Inscription of the Tongue", is also a testimony of the old master's lifelong practice. And that Buddhist poem is in this book "Tongue and Blood Inscription".
The poem is called "The Idiot of Youth". The whole poem is: I was originally from a layman, I had no choice but to change my robe, Bodhi was not enlightened, the dust was difficult to cut, and I forbearance the lotus.
Don't leave the morning and twilight, add a little more hatred, recite the Sanskrit scriptures, the infatuation is gone, and the spring dream has been wasted. Although the half-que poems that Mu Qingliang said are slightly different from the first half of the old host's "Young Idiot", they are completely in line with his identity.
To say that Mu Qingliang was able to write a Buddhist poem so similar to "Young Idiot" by himself to dedicate it, it is completely unbelievable.
After all, at this time, the Buddhist family has been destroyed by the imperial court, and many young people no longer know that things like the Bodhi lotus flower are symbols of the Buddhist family.
In Quan Xianzhi's view, there are only two possibilities for this Mu Qingliang to be able to write this half of the poem. The first is that this Mu Qingliang is indeed the reincarnated spirit child of the old host, and he was able to write this half of the Buddhist poem because he was influenced by the memory of his previous life.
And another possibility is that someone behind this is deliberately doing the game, and this person has also watched the old host's "Tongue and Blood Motto".
As for why this person wants to do the game, and who he wants to lead into the game, he doesn't know. But if it is the second possibility, he wants to find out the people behind the scenes and get back the "Tongue and Blood Motto" of the old host.
After all, this codex is nothing to others, but to him it is his most precious thing.
Originally, the right to dedicate it thought that after this Buddhist poem, the prince of Qi Guo should say the next half of the Buddhist poem.
Unexpectedly, that night, he saw the wonder of Jiangyong golden lotus falling above the Huai River.
This scene is also recorded in Buddhist scriptures. But Jun Keyi, Wu Quanzhong, and Yu Guangqing, who came with him, all thought that the so-called Jiangyong Golden Lotus was just fireworks.
Even Jun Keyi also said the principle of this, and even bought some fireworks and rosin powder this morning to test it.
The result is indeed as Jun Keyi said, and it does have a golden lotus-like effect. Therefore, it also made Quan Xianzhi understand that there was indeed someone behind all this, which made Quan Xianzhi fall into excitement.
Because this means that the old host's "Tongue and Blood Inscription" was not destroyed by the government at the beginning. So now, as long as he can catch the prince of Qi Kingdom, he can find the mastermind behind the whole thing.
And just now, when he was still thinking about how to find Mu Qingliang, the prince of Qiguo, he suddenly found that a group of people next to the Wanfu Building were kneeling towards the sky and shouting immortals and the like.
So when he looked up, he saw that in the middle of the air, there were three people levitating, and the back of their heads was emitting colorful Buddha light.
At first glance, I almost didn't give up the right to give it to my knees. But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong, although the aura behind the three people's heads was a colorful color, but it seemed a little dim, as if it would be extinguished at any time.
And the three of them always maintained a single movement in the air, and they did not have the solemn sense of the Buddha or Bodhisattva he imagined.
The three of them gave him a dull feeling, as if the three of them were hanging in mid-air.
Then he saw the three of them fly in two directions towards Wanfu Tower and another inn, and then they disappeared.
This also made him even more convinced that the so-called colorful Buddha light and flying in the sky in front of him must also be just a trick that he didn't know much about.
However, from the conversation between the three people just now, he learned that one of the three people was Mu Qingliang, the prince of Qi State.
So he ran to the inn as soon as Mu Qingliang landed at the inn. Originally, his plan was to directly capture Mu Qingliang and then ask him who was behind the scenes.
It's just that he muttered about the enthusiasm of the people of Shouzhou for the immortals, and at the same time overestimated his speed.
At the moment when he rushed to the inn, the people who were originally kneeling on the ground and bowing and praying also stood up one after another and ran desperately towards the inn.
As if they had lost their minds, they quickly caught up with Kwon and left them behind.
As soon as he entered the inn, he heard shouts of excitement coming from upstairs. So he also quickly ran up to the third floor.
By the time he entered the room on the third floor, he was already squeezed into the back. Looking at these crazy and ignorant human rights in front of him, he can only sigh that the greed, hatred, and ignorance of the three poisons in this world are really indestructible!
