239, Jingzhou chaos

The Three Kingdoms are careless about Jingzhou, but now there is a gun king who is not in Jingzhou, don't believe Lao Dan, let's continue to look down.

It is said that Cao Luzhuang returned to his hometown, and the third son, Ye Wuwu, sent Cao Luzhuang to the outskirts of Chang'an City, only then did he reluctantly go north and south.

As for how Ye harmless returns to the capital, I won't mention it here for the time being. It is only said that Cao Luzhuang, who is over the age of six, although he is alone on foot, does not ride a donkey or a horse, but for this weathered old man, he is still "not old" and his pace is steady and powerful. Even though it is now in the scorching summer sun, it still can't stop his forward pace like an arrow. Because his fluttering heart has long been sent to his hometown, and everything in the world behind him has been put aside, as if there is only one goal ahead of him that attracts him to move forward - Jingzhou! Jingzhou! …… Rush to Jingzhou as soon as possible!

However, Cao Luzhuang, who was far away from home, and Ye Wuwu, who was in Beijing to take the exam, did not expect that things were so bad, and Jingzhou was far from being as they imagined and wished, and it would be quickly calmed down. In fact, the Jingzhou rebellion has developed to the point of incorrigibility. At this time, inside and outside Jingzhou City, there was already a sea of war and a sea of smoke and fire. The soldiers and horses guarding the city have already suffered countless casualties, and there are few left. Even the highest mansion in the city, the Qiu Wang's Mansion, was already in ruins, a mess, and not a single figure could be seen. ……

On the day when Cao Luzhuang left to return home, that is, on the sixth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, a group of male and female knights wearing red and hanging colors galloped outside the south gate of Jingzhou City, which was thousands of miles away and the fireworks were still burning. I saw that the leader of them was a tiger with a bear waist, a yellow robe, and a treasure knife on his back, and behind him, there were two Tsing Yi warriors on the left and one on the right, followed by three white-clothed warriors and five outstanding women.

Where did you come from? What are their last names and who's them? To tell the truth, these eleven warriors and heroines are the "life-chasing knife" Wu Tianba, "Black Yan Drilling" Zhang Yunhai, "Rope Dart and Sword Dance (5)" Sun Kexing, the fourth sword of Tianshan Chen Douyun, the fifth sword Qin Qilang, the sixth sword Wan Xingzhao, and the "Lushan Wujiao" Jin Buyao, Li Xiandan, Zheng Wenrou, Shen Xiangyuan, and Shangguan Nu.

What are you doing here with Wu Tianba and the other eleven people? In fact, they had already learned that Jingzhou was trapped, and they also knew that Qiu Tianting's ten soldiers had been blown down to Dongting Lake by the strong wind and had survived to cross the river by boat, and they learned that the Huangfu Liqi, known as the "Iron Hand Flower Protector", had also crossed the river and returned to Wanhua Palace; So in the end, they decided to leave the Lushan Donglin Temple and cross the river to the north: first, they could continue to look for the killer Aliyekur; Second, they were passing by Jingzhou to see the battle situation here, and they were also fortunate to help General Qiu in an emergency.

However, now when the eleven of them came to the south gate of Jingzhou City, when they saw the situation of swords and guns outside the city and corpses everywhere, the scene inside the city was naturally conceivable. So they rode their horses faster, passed through the ruined gates, and galloped toward the city.

Soon, they crossed the streets and alleys that were scattered and bloodstained all the way to the Qiu Wang's Mansion. However, as soon as they saw that the walls inside and outside the gate of the Qiu Wang's Mansion were already collapsed and deserted, everyone immediately dismounted and slowly stepped into the wretched compound. But what makes them wonder is why there is no one in this house? Where are General Qiu and his wife? Will he be caught by thieves? ……

Wu Tianba and the others looked and thought about it here for a long time, and in the end, they still learned something from the mouth of a common man in the city: it was said that ten soldiers had fought hard to escort Mrs. Qiu and others back to their hometown, but there was no shadow of General Qiu among these ten soldiers. Odd? Wu Tianba and the others are still puzzled, how could General Qiu not be present for such a major military incident? This hometown has been lost, can it be said that Qiu Tianting, the "generation of gun kings", will ignore it? ! …… Where did these thieves come from, and by whom? Unexpectedly, when they parted ways with their eldest brother Ye Jinfeng and the other three a month ago, this was still the ancient city of Jingzhou, which was well-trained and prosperous, but now it was a world of difference. She no longer has the brilliance and solid momentum of the past, and now she is just broken and faceless to face the world, let alone face these warriors and knights who rushed to come, her heart and skin are flowing with painful blood, and who can heal her haggard face and painful heart? But who would have thought that Jingzhou City ended up like this, and it was just a matter of a blink of an eye, which is really a pity! For this reason, some people in later generations wrote poems and sighed-

People have good and bad luck, and the sky has unpredictable storms and clouds.

The cicada voice is evil in a blink of an eye, how is the scenery of Sui Dike close?

The seven males and females are still not divided, and there are many sieges and kills.

The Qin soldiers were in a hurry to encircle Handan, and the king of Wei did not save the king of the plains.

At this point, let's not mention the matter of Wu Tianba and other eleven people riding Jingzhou City. It is only said that when Wu Tianba and the others were watching painfully in the city, on the distant mountain road that led to the Bashu realm, a group of soldiers were escorting an open-top carriage on the top. In this carriage sat a woman with a sad face holding a child in her arms. In fact, the woman in the car was none other than Ye Jiazhen, the wife of Qiu Tianting in Jingzhou. Behind her and on both sides were several of the ten soldiers who had followed Qiu Tianting to the Ye Family Manor to rescue the driver. However, after these ten soldiers tried their best to kill and escort Mrs. Qiu out of the city, there are now only five soldiers left, including the senior deputy envoy. This is also rare for the ten soldiers to be loyal to General Qiu. They had been escorting Madame Qiu all the way for three days, but because the distance to the Yejia Manor in Dongdao Town was long and the mountain road was very winding, it was very difficult, so they had not traveled more than a third of the way. In this way, not to mention Mrs. Qiu's Ye Jiazhen, even the five people including the senior deputy envoy have been frowning and missing General Qiu in every way. Several of them remembered very well that they had lost contact with General Qiu since they and General Qiu encountered the violent wind in the mountains. They really didn't know why that gust of wind separated them from General Qiu for thousands of miles, and they had no way of knowing and would not believe that the "Storm Scattered" was actually their eternal farewell to General Qiu! ……

Besides, outside the gate of the "Flying Dragon Inn" in the Yejia Manor, the host town in the mountains and rivers of eastern Nabashu, I saw three young warriors in light clothes getting on their horses and preparing to go east under the cluster of a group of people. Next to the stone steps behind them were the old lady Ye, the eldest prince Ye Dongsheng, and the chief steward Kang Zhonghan and others. It is not difficult for those who understand to see that the three warriors who want to cross the horse are the "Flying Dragon" Ye Jinfeng, the "Iron Fan Boy" Ouyang Qingfeng and the "Sweeping Wind" Huang Shiying among the "Six Heroes of Shudong".

Where are these three going? To tell the truth, the three of them went to Jingzhou City to inquire about the news on the order of the old lady Ye, and if anything happens, the three of them can also help Jingzhou Shi Qiu Tianting. In fact, Ye Jinfeng and the two brothers have long been depressed in the manor: they expected that the Ye family manor would not be in any danger for the time being, and there was a person in the home with the head of Kang to guard it, and there was also a county official Guo Zhao Guo Dutou who led people to protect it, not to mention that since they met Jingmei Daoist in Liu Zhentian's mansion in Wannian Village, for the common purpose and interests of Wulin Dao, their Gu, Ye, and Liu families have made peace, and they will no longer fight for territory in the future, but should take into account the overall situation and fight against the rebel people in Wulin. Therefore, the three brothers had long planned to go on a long journey to continue looking for vendetta. And taking the opportunity of this trip, they also have to look for the three sworn brothers who have entered and exited the rivers and lakes; When necessary, it is necessary to help the "Southern Gun King" Jingzhou Shi Qiu Tianting.

So, everyone in the audience said goodbye to each other, and the "Flying Dragon" Ye Jinfeng took the lead and led the two good brothers to gallop to the east......

Let's say that after the third prince Ye who was far away in the capital Chang'an returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he planned to do his last study tour in the capital on the last day before the exam. So, after Ye Wuwu went to the palace to resign to Prime Minister Wang, he walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion alone and walked westward alone.

The time is not big, Ye harmless has already strolled to the Daxingshan Temple, one of the three major translation sites of Buddhist scriptures in Chang'an City, the purpose of which is to prepare for sightseeing here. However, if the prince of Ruoye learned that Jingzhou City and Qiu Wang's Mansion had fallen beyond imagination, how could he still have the leisure to come here for sightseeing? Even if he would rather give up this exam, he has to gallop home and try to save everything. However, he will not think of it now when he dies - "Jingzhou is already gone, and all thoughts are lost!" What's more, he is still coming to Daxingshan Temple with great interest, and the "wind and fire in Jingzhou" is still like a cloud of wind and fire for him. However, the scenery in this temple was very unexpected, and I didn't know that he would encounter the demons and "vampires" with the heart of the Buddha-faced beast in this beautiful name called "Daxingshan Temple", which was actually a great good or not a good but a great evil.

Some people may wonder why Ye Gongzi didn't go this or that, but he went to this Buddhist temple first? How will this benefit him in his future exams? In fact, as mentioned above, Ya Harmless is admiring him, and these Buddhist scriptures are also "beneficial and harmless" to his Confucian theory; What's more, after he finished viewing this Buddhist holy place, he had to go to the "Twelve Classics" to feast his eyes on the "Twelve Classics" to make up for his shortcomings. Because the inscription "Twelve Classics" gathers the handwritten stone carvings of many famous masters in the previous dynasty and the scriptures of "True Grass Li Seal Line", which has long been dazzling and colorful, how can he not go?

Speaking of the Daxingshan Temple in the capital, as early as two years ago, when Master Fashen, another famous Buddhist teacher of Yawuwu, told him about the theory of Buddhism, he mentioned the Daxingshan Temple, the birthplace of Buddhist Tantra. And now this Daxingshan Temple is 2.5 kilometers south of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province. It was built in the period from the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty to the Taikang. During the opening of the Sui Dynasty, the Indian monks Nariantiyasha, Janaborita and Dharma Gupta came to Chang'an to teach tantric Buddhism and lived here. In the fourth to eighth year of the Tang Dynasty, that is, from 716 to 720 A.D., the Indian monks known as the "Three Great Scholars of the Kaiyuan Dynasty", Shanwu Fearless, Vajra Zhihe and Bukong, translated more than 500 tantric classics here, including the two tantric classics of the "Ranga Sutra" and the "Yuanjue Sutra". It is said that Japanese monks also come here to study. Later, when a group of monks presided over the meeting, the monks in the temple made significant contributions to the study of astronomy and mathematics. The length of the meridian latitude is a line of masters (legal name Yixing, real name Zhang Sui, born in Changle, Weizhou, that is, Nanle County, Puyang City, Henan, a giant deer in Xingzhou, now Xingtai, Hebei, one of the twenty-four heroes of the Tang Lingyan Pavilion, Zou Guogong Zhang Gongjin's great-grandson. It was calculated that it was 90 years earlier than the first time that foreign Arab astronomers measured the length of the meridian in 814 AD. Nowadays, the building of the Tang Dynasty has long been destroyed, and only the bluestone dragon head carved by the Tang Dynasty and the stele of the renovated temple in the past dynasties remain. The existing Buddha hall, meditation hall, matching room, bell and drum tower, etc., are all buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was completely renovated in 1956. Therefore, this Daxingshan Temple is worthy of being the essence of the Buddhist masters and the essence of the Tantric classics gathering in the Accord!

However, the third prince Ye harmless came here today, but it was far from the essence holy land he imagined. He saw that the courtyard walls and the main hall here were uneven, and there seemed to be no human shadow in the deserted and secluded temple. Ye harmless couldn't help but be a little stunned and disappointed by this! As he was walking, he suddenly heard the sound of "clanging" in the temple and in the corner of the courtyard wall. He looked for a voice, and saw that it was several monks mending the house and courtyard wall. A glimmer of pleasure rose in his heart, and this glimmer of pleasure soon gave rise to a beautiful fantasy. Because at this time, he suddenly found that this monk had the heart to repair it, and he would definitely not be as desolate as he is today!
