Today is the day when the Datong Temple of Buddhism was completed, and the abbot of the temple invited She Saihua and Lin Qinger to go to watch the ceremony. Yang Peng was not interested in this and was reluctant to go. The Yang family is a group of widows, so only Yang Peng accompanied She Saihua and Lin Qinger to the Big Buddha Temple to watch the ceremony.

Yang Peng accompanied She Saihua and Lin Qing'er through the streets of Yanjing Mansion to the Big Buddha Temple in the west of the city. Because She Saihua and Lin Qinger had to pay for it, the temple of the Big Buddha Temple was built very grandly.

Today, the temple was completed, and there were many people watching the ceremony. But Yang Peng and She Saihua Lin Qing'er's identities are different, so when they arrived at the temple.

The presiding abbot led the monks in the temple to wait at the gate of the Big Buddha Temple. When She Saihua and Lin Qing'er appeared at the gate of the Big Buddha Temple. A bald monk at the head greeted him. "The poor monk Dajue, I have seen King Yan, I have seen She Lao Taijun."

Behind the bald monk, a group of monks shouted in unison, "Amitabha." She Saihua and Lin Qing'er just hurriedly helped up the Dajue Zen Master and said, "The master is a high-ranking monk, so there is no need to be polite." Yang Peng looked at the little novice behind the Dajue Zen Master, and said without saltiness: "Great monk, there are a lot of novices in your temple." ”

She Saihua and Lin Qing'er glared at Yang Peng. Yang Peng snorted and pretended not to see it. The group entered the Daxiong Hall in the temple, She Saihua and Lin Qing'er went to worship the Buddha, and Yang Peng yawned outside.

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south." A Buddha horn sounded behind Yang Peng. Yang Peng turned his head and saw a big monk, wearing a robe, standing behind him.

The appearance of the great monk is older than the abbot. "Poor monk Guangde, I have seen Lord Yang." Yang Peng squinted, stared at the great monk, and said, "The wisdom is vast...... According to this arrangement, you are a generation higher than the great monk Dajue. Zen Master Guangde bowed down and said: "Lord Yang praised falsely, the old man and the nephew of the Great Jue, although they are in the Buddhist gate, they are involved in the red dust, and they are not considered great monks." ”

Yang Peng was stunned, he remembered something. When he had read the miscellaneous records before, he seemed to have seen a record of the title of monk. The title of this great monk is only qualified by those who have attained the Tao.

Ordinary monks are generally called novices. A little bit of cattle is called a monk. And the great monk is not something that everyone can afford to bear. You must be recognized as a high-ranking monk to be eligible to be called a great monk. However, Yang Peng didn't want to worry about this title, he cared more about the purpose of Zen Master Guangde to find himself.

"Monk, your six-character name is far less than that of other monks. You're from the South? What is the purpose of finding me this time? "The so-called six-character Hong name refers to the six characters of 'Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha'. Yang Peng didn't think that a monk of the Cantonese generation suddenly found himself without any purpose.

An antique-level monk like Guangde, even if he appears in Bianjing City, he will be offered by Zhao Guangyi. This kind of old antique is generally hidden in the mountains as a living Buddha, and rarely comes out to walk in the world. And every time it appears, it means that something big happens.

Zen Master Guangde opened his mouth with all his teeth, the goosebumps on his face were wrinkled, and he said with a smile: "Please also invite Master Yang to the meditation room for a while." Yang Peng raised his eyebrows, shook his head and smiled: "You and I are both smart people, and we don't have to be so roundabout when we speak." Not to mention the number of courtesies. What do you want to do, just say, whether you can agree or not, I will weigh it. ”

Zen Master Guangde nodded and said softly: "I heard that Lord Yang occupies the Ryukyus, I wonder if Lord Yang can open the door of convenience and allow me to enter the Ryukyu region?" Yang Peng was stunned, and said with some astonishment: "The news that the imperial court doesn't know, you know it first." You're so well informed, you can even dig me up.

It's just that as far as I know, it's not that Buddhism doesn't exist in the Ryukyus. Why did you go to the Ryukyus to preach? Zen Master Guangde shook his head and smiled: "It's different, it's different......" Yang Peng nodded thoughtfully.

This difference of Guangde Zen Master represents a lot of meaning. He was telling Yang Peng that it was also Buddhism, but Buddhism in the Ryukyus was not the same as Buddhism in the Great Song Dynasty. Different regions lead to different differences in beliefs. This Yang Peng can understand.

Yang Peng occasionally has some prejudices about religion. But he was not religious. In this age when there are no counselors, religion is largely the role of a psychiatrist. It's just that some people are a little extreme.

Yang Peng muttered: "I can allow you to enter the Ryukyus to preach, and even allow you to preach in Yanjing Mansion and Cangzhou Prefecture. But what benefits do I get? "It is impossible for Yang Peng to talk about what kind of faith he has with a terrorist sect that has existed for thousands of years.

Too stupid. Only talking about interests is the most practical and desirable. A sect that has existed for thousands of years, its heritage and accumulation are unfathomable. If they want to infiltrate the Ryukyus, in fact, Yang Peng can't stop it.

The reason why people greeted Yang Peng was to avoid unnecessary casualties. And if Yang Peng doesn't take the opportunity to knock on a pen, he won't be called Yang Peng. Zen Master Guangde narrowed his eyes and asked Yang Peng, "What does Master Yang want?" Yang Peng groaned: "I want you to obey me when I need it, as long as I give an order." ”

Zen Master Guangde shook his head and said with a smile: "My Buddha is compassionate, we are all my Buddha's people, and we will never obey anyone or god other than my Buddha." Yang Peng gave a slap in the face, "Then you can promise to help me do five things." ”

"Five things?" "Those five things?"

Zen Master Guangde asked in a low voice. Yang Pengle said with a smile: "I haven't thought about it for the time being, I'll tell you when I've thought about it." "It's also thanks to Zen Master Guangde's decades of Zen practice, otherwise he would have to be angry to death. Yang Peng didn't care if Guangde Zen teachers and students were not angry, he said to himself: "It's okay to preach in my territory, but I want you to abide by my rules."

Within a prefecture, there can be no more than five temples, no more than 1,000 acres of land, and no more than 100 monks. I won't interfere with the rest, but I will strictly send someone to supervise the above three points. ”

Zen Master Guangde's face darkened, and he said in a stiff tone: "Doesn't Master Yang feel that some strong people are difficult?" My mother also believes in my Buddha. Yang Peng put his hands behind his back and said indifferently: "On my territory, what I say is an iron law." It's not easy for anyone to speak. ”

Dropping this sentence, Yang Peng has already left. Because he saw that She Saihua and Lin Qing'er had already walked out of the Daxiong Treasure Palace. After She Saihua and Lin Qing'er left the Daxiong Treasure Palace, they went straight to another treasure hall. She Saihua didn't seem to see Yang Peng.

Yang Peng looked at She Saihua and Lin Qing'er after entering that treasure hall, and his brows slowly furrowed. Zen Master Guangde stood quietly behind Yang Peng and said in a low voice: "It seems that the mother has the heart to think about her son." Yang Peng said without saltiness: "I know." Zen Master Guangde was amazed: "Lord Yang knows my Buddhism very well. ”

Yang Peng sighed and said, "Emperor Mother of Heli, one of the twenty heavens of the Guardian Sect...... Also known as the love of the mother...... My sister is missing my fourth brother...... "Zen Master Guangde smiled and said: "Buddhism is vast, and it can help Lord Yang." Yang Qi waved his hand and said indifferently: "No need." ”

Bidding farewell to Zen Master Guangde, Yang Peng greeted She Saihua who came out of the Emperor's Mother Palace. "Master, do you miss my fourth brother again?" Yang Peng asked in a low voice. She Saihua said with red eyes: "Since the farewell of that winter, it seems that ten years have passed, and your fourth brother still has no news. In my mother's heart, it's always not a taste.

A few days ago, my mother went to see your fourth sister-in-law and found your fourth sister-in-law hiding in the room and crying quietly. My mother's heart is even more uncomfortable. Yang Peng comforted She Saihua and said, "Don't worry, Master, I have already heard about the fourth brother's movements, and I will go and pick up the fourth brother in a few days." ”

"Really?" She Saihua, who was still sad, grabbed Yang Peng's arm in surprise and asked after hearing Yang Peng's words. Yang Peng nodded solemnly. After that, Yang Peng accompanied She Saihua and Lin Qinger to participate in the Buddhist meeting in Datong Temple.

After returning to the mansion, Yang Peng sent people to collect intelligence on the Liao State. After learning that Yang Peng was collecting intelligence about the Liao State, Ye Yu Hanyu hurried to Yang Peng's study. "Lang Jun wants to attack the Liao State?" Yang Peng was resuming the map of the Liao Kingdom on the desk, when he heard Ye Yu Hanyu asking, he was slightly stunned, and said in amazement: "Who said that?" ”

Ye Yu Hanyu walked to the desk and whispered, "You sent people to search for information on the Liao State, didn't you want to attack the Liao State?" Yang Peng shook his head, put down his pen and ink, and said softly: "The fourth brother has been without a trace for more than ten years. The mother and the fourth sister-in-law are like a fire burning their hearts every day. I don't want to see them continue to suffer. So I'm going to go to Liao and find the fourth brother back. ”

Ye Hanyu's face changed, and he said anxiously: "You want to go by yourself?" Wouldn't that be dangerous? This kind of thing should be left to your subordinates. Yang Peng shook his head and said, "Leave it to others, I'm not at ease, I'll go to Liao Country in person, it's safer." ”

"How many men are you going to lead?" "One person ......" "No." Ye Yu Hanyu heard that Yang Peng was going to go to Liao State alone, and immediately refused loudly. Yang Peng comforted the irritable Ye Yu Hanyu and sat down, and said, "A person, the target is small, and it is not easy to be exposed. There are many people, the target is too large, and it is easy to be exposed. In comparison, it is safer to be alone.

Besides, with my current martial arts, even if I am alone in the Liao Kingdom, few people will be able to catch me. There are too many people to bring, but it is a burden. Ye Yu Hanyu said with a bitter face: "But this is too dangerous...... Yang Peng smiled: "Don't worry, I will definitely go safely and return safely." ”

Ye Yu Hanyu tugged on Yang Peng's sleeve, his face was pale, and said, "My father said that the son of a daughter can't sit down." You are no longer alone, behind you, there are Yang Tong's mother and son, and Yonghui's sister, as well as thousands of people in Ryukyu and Yanjing Mansion and Tianjing New Town. Do you have to take the risk? ”

Yang Peng let out a long sigh, "My life is the master's return, I regard the fourth brother of the Yang family as my own brother, I have to go." Besides, no one else may know where he is. Yang Peng has made up his mind. No matter how hard you stop the cold rain, you can only help Yang Peng pack some bags in the end.

Before leaving, Ye Yu Hanyu was obsessed with the stakes, and even dragged the shy Chai Yonghui and slept together. Yang Peng happily enjoyed the blessing of all people. Then, in the expectant eyes of the family, a single person and a single horse, by the moonlight, went straight to Yanmen Pass.

Datong Mansion is the closest to Yanmen Pass. And Yanmen Pass is also passable on weekdays, so it is easier for Yang Peng to get out of the customs from here. When Yang Peng arrived at Yanmen Pass, the sky was already dawn, and the city gate of Yanmen Pass was also opened. The soldiers of the forbidden army stood in rows in the black at the head of the city.

The merchants who crossed the border at the city gate lined up one by one to be examined. In order to hide people's eyes, Yang Peng deliberately dressed up in disguise. After dressing up, Yang Peng looks more like a high-roller. He had messy hair mixed with a little dry grass, and was dressed in a gray linen robe, with a horizontal knife hanging from his waist, and a hat on his head, and an old horse's tail bald.

When Yang Peng passed the customs, he was responsible for checking his forbidden soldiers and guarding him strictly. Treat him like a dangerous person.

"What is this?" The soldiers of the forbidden army dug out a lot of food prepared for Yang Peng by the cold rain in Yang Peng's bag, as well as some scattered silver taels. At the same time, there is also a small packet of refined salt. Refined salt, in this era, no matter where it is, it is a rare commodity.

Even if it is officially sold salt, it is coarse salt. is not a local wealthy family or a big family, and he can't afford to eat refined salt at all. These forbidden army soldiers didn't want to investigate Yang Peng's origin, they mainly wanted to find an excuse to swallow these refined salt and silver taels in Yang Peng's hands.

It has almost become an unwritten rule. Even when Yang Yanzhao was guarding Yanmen Pass before, this kind of thing happened frequently. What's more, now stationed at Yanmen Pass are the forbidden army masters known as the elite of the Great Song Dynasty. As we all know, the forbidden masters are always the most greedy and the most difficult to serve.

Yang Peng is not used to this kind of unhealthy tendency. However, Yang Peng is even more reluctant to reveal his identity. Therefore, he could only let others scavenge him for the refined salt and silver. When he entered the city, the gold and silver on his body were scavenged, if someone didn't stop him, I am afraid that even the horizontal knife and the old horse on Yang Peng's waist would have to be left behind.

"Little offspring, the first time you go out?" An old man who was over half a hundred years old appeared in front of Yang Peng with a smile. Looking at his outfit, it looks like a master invited by a merchant when he went to business. Yang Peng threw the troubled clothes on the horseback, pretended to be honest, and said: "It's really the first time, I didn't expect the soldiers at the border pass to be so fierce." ”

"Hehehe~" The old man laughed and said: "Those dogs like to bully you single pedestrians." In their eyes, you are already dead. For the dead, they will not be polite. ”

"Why do you say that?" The old man stabbed his hands into the cuffs, and said leisurely: "Outside this pass, it doesn't look like our Central Plains, it's messy." Horse thieves are rampant outside the gates, and there are more black shops. When I go out of the customs alone, I haven't seen the old man come back alive.

In many black shops outside the gates, their favorite dish is human meat buns. Especially a single-handedly person like you, who was killed and cooked. Someone wants to help you get revenge, but they can't find a place. The old man paused and said: "The old man looks at you, this little descendant should be a ranger, and there is still a seat in the old man's caravan, keep it for you." Follow the old man, and you won't lose your life. ”

Yang Peng was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood the purpose of the old master. He looked around, and saw a number of single-handed, ranger-like figures, being pulled into one caravan after another.

He understood that at least sixty percent of what the old man said was true. As for the remaining forty percent, that is, the old man seems to be kindly helping Yang Peng, but in fact, he also wants to pull a free bodyguard for the caravan. Yang Peng hugged his fists and said with a smile: "No need, I can do it alone." ”

After saying this, Yang Peng led the horse and prepared to leave the city. The old general was stunned, looked at Yang Peng's back, and took a sip, "I don't know what to do, you just wait to be eaten." After scolding this sentence, the old man went back to looking for the target.

Yang Peng led the horse, and when he left the city, he saw that there were soldiers of the forbidden army clearing the road. It didn't take long to see Li Zifeng, who had now been promoted to a mighty general, riding a horse and leading a team of people to rush in from outside the gate.

Beside Li Zifeng, there was also a woman in a strong suit. Look at the two of them galloping on horseback, talking and laughing at the same time, it should be a good relationship. Yang Peng glanced at it, and always felt that the figure of this woman in a strong suit was very familiar, but he didn't think about it for a while.

Yang Peng didn't think about it anymore. After the men and horses led by Li Zifeng left, the gate of the city was closed and the passage was restored. Yang Peng led the horse out of Guancheng, rode his horse all the way, and headed north. Yang Peng rode his horse and galloped wildly for a quarter of an hour, and when he came to the side of a narrow road, he suddenly stopped his horse. Yang Peng couldn't stop the horse, because on the narrow road, there was a dirty old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest seemed to be asleep, and his belly was bulging, like a big toad lying down and sleeping. When Yang Peng was hesitating whether to ride his horse over, he heard the old Taoist priest who was sleeping soundly suddenly say something in his sleep.

"Don't go...... There is an ambush ahead ......"

Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, he rode his horse to the old Taoist priest, lowered his head and said, "There is an ambush ahead?" How do you know you're in league with them? The old Taoist priest didn't say a word, turned over, and continued to sleep soundly. Yang Peng frowned, rode his horse around the old Taoist priest, and continued to run forward.

ran out of the two places in one go. Suddenly, from the grass on both sides, six thieves appeared. Two people in the front and rear, holding tripping ropes, blocked Yang Peng's way forward and backward. "There is really an ambush ......"

Yang Peng narrowed his eyes and pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist. "Boy, hand over the valuable things on your body, call us three more times, and we'll let you go." The masked bandits, led by them, shouted loudly. Yang Peng sat on the back of the horse and snorted coldly: "It's not appropriate to put a good soldier and be a robber here." It's just looking for death. ”

"Huh?" The six thieves were stunned, and one of them was stunned: "How do you know that we are soldiers?" The thief at the head knocked on the head of the guy and scolded, "You idiot...... Yang Peng glanced at the six of them, and said in a deep voice: "The tripping rope and knotting technique you use are the techniques used by the forbidden army." The way you hold your sword, the breath you breathe on the move. All of them are unique to the Great Song Forbidden Army.

And the shoes under your feet, which are also soldiers' boots......" "Since I recognize the identity of my brothers, I can't keep you." ”

"Kill!" In an instant, six thieves pounced on Yang Peng. Yang Peng slashed out with a knife. Two people were cut off with a knife, and four were choked with a knife. The six thieves dressed as the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army are naturally easy to deal with ordinary rangers, but in front of Yang Peng, they are not enough to see at all.

After Yang Peng wiped the clean horizontal knife, he continued to ride forward. At the place where Yang Peng killed the thief dressed as the Great Song Forbidden Army. The old Taoist priest who was lying on the side of the road just now reminded Yang Qi of an ambush suddenly appeared. He sighed and said, "What's wrong with it, you have to go to death." Lao Dao originally wanted to save your life, but unfortunately the evil star didn't let you go. ”……

Yang Peng walked another three miles and came across a big tree. An old Taoist priest was lying on a tree and sleeping soundly. It was the old Taoist priest who had reminded Yang Peng of an ambush before. Yang Peng's pupils shrank, staring at the old Taoist priest without saying a word. The old Taoist priest hung from the tree, as if he was about to fall down at any moment.

"Don't go...... There is an ambush ahead......" Yang Peng stared at the old Taoist priest and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" You reminded me that there was an ambush ahead, not because I was afraid that I would be ambushed. But I am afraid that those who ambush me will be killed by me, right? The old Taoist priest said: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life. ”

Yang Peng said coldly: "Whether God has the virtue of a good life or not, God has the final say." Whether I have the virtue of a good life or not, I have the final say. The old Taoist priest opened his eyes, a fine light flashed in his eyes, he stared at Yang Peng, and said, "Don't you have mercy in your heart?" ”

Yang Peng said: "Those who meet benevolence are benevolent, and those who encounter evil are evil." "Which is more important than the private interests of the people of the world and the family?" "Both are important."

"What if you have to give up one?" "I'm not going to give up any of them." "You are a scholar, you should understand that you can't have both fish and bear's paws." "God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha." "Evil Barrier!" "Old Ghost Chen!"

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
