Chapter 60: Yu Jia's Southward Journey Four Envoys Follow
A reed crossing the river is light, and the wind and waves are as steady as a pine
The Central Plains has been a military home since ancient times, and the temple is prosperous today in the Southern Dynasty
Prosperous like brocade peony, brocade with jade clothes to travel Los Angeles
Today, there is a plum blossom sect, and a sect is built on Woniu Mountain
On this day, General Yu Jia, some things in the teaching, have been explained, Siqi and several other palace masters. With him, he walked out of the Plum Blossom Sect and traveled all the way south.
Because he was aware of the people's feelings, he did not fly. The five masters and servants traveled all the way, staying at night and traveling all the way south. On this day, we came to the north bank of the Yellow River.
The southern border of Wei has also been at war for years. Due to the large number of wars in the north and the large number of troops involved, it has also been relatively tight for many years. Therefore, on the southern border, there is not much energy and troops, and there are more times to defend and less time to attack. At this time, Emperor Liu Song was Emperor Wen. The governance of the Southern Dynasty is also impressive.
There was a general in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Tan Daoji was very famous. This man wrote a book called "Thirty-six Strategies" and passed it on to posterity. In a battle with the Wei State, the Song army's grain and grass were burned, and in the middle of the night, Tan Daoji led the soldiers to measure the sand, put the sand into a sack, put a layer of white rice on it, and put the sandbags in the camp in the morning on the first day of the next day.
The Wei army probed the horse and saw the Song army, and there was still food in the barracks. The boss of the report, at that time, the commander of the Wei army was An Jie, and he did not dare to rush into the army.
Tan Daoji's commanders, safe and sound, swaggered and withdrew from the battlefield. This is the allusion to singing and measuring sand. Later, he was slandered by traitorous ministers, and the emperor was worried that this person had too much power and was afraid of rebellion. Take the opportunity to kill it, that's a story for later.
Over the years, the Wei army and the Song State have fought for each other, although there have been no major battles, but they have not stopped.
It is said that the five Yujia came to the north bank of the Yellow River and were preparing to cross the river, but there was no boatman to cross the river.
In the past, there was a reed crossing the river, and Yu Jia said: "If I go to the south today, I will wait to go here to build the project." We will also come to him, cross the river with a reed, and also leave this good name in the world. ”
After that, he broke off a reed by the river, threw it into the river, and then flew and landed on the reed. Using the great supernatural powers, the reeds are like arrows from the string, and they sail towards the south bank.
The four envoys of the wind and clouds, seeing that the son went into the water first, also followed Yu Jia's example, and each broke a reed and jumped into the water one after another. To say that the five Yujia have the ability to fly. Crossing the Yellow River is very easy.
But with the art of flying, it's too weird. Yu Jia also wants to show off so that she can go south and create some fame for herself. Five people crossed the river with reeds. This movement immediately attracted many soldiers and civilians on the south bank. They watched from a distance and talked about it.
This move alarmed, and the Wei army on the south bank guarded the general. When the guards heard this, they thought to themselves: Who did this trick? Hurriedly urged the horses forward and came to the south bank of the Yellow River to find out the situation.
At this time, Yu Jia and several people looked calm and leisurely in the wild waves. Not long after, several people crossed the Yellow River and flew to the south bank.
When the guard saw that Yu Jia and a few people went ashore, flew off their horses, and came to Yu Jia and a few people, they didn't dare to make a mistake, and said respectfully: "I don't know sir, which way is the master?
Yu Jia listened, smiled, and took out the waist card given by the Emperor of Wei from her waist. This waist card, Yu Jia has been useless. At that time, the emperor gave Yu Jia this waist card, but all states and counties were passable.
Seeing the waist card, such as seeing the emperor. Seeing the guard, Yu Jia took out the emperor's waist card and hurriedly bowed. Yu Jia smiled and said, "This monarch is Jiang Yujia." This trip to the south is an important matter. I don't know the official, who is the subordinate?"
As soon as he heard Jiang Yujia and reported his name, the young general hurriedly saluted again. Just kidding, Jiang Yujia's name is a household name in the entire Great Wei. He said: "I don't know that the prince is here, I hope to beg for forgiveness!" The villain is under the account of General Anjie, and Shi Chong, the pioneer officer of the West Road. ”
Yu Jia listened and nodded slightly: "Shi Xianxian, don't be polite." Soldiers, hard work. Now Jiang has something important, so he won't meet with your family and the general. On the day of Jiang's return, I will definitely visit your general. Today, it is fate for you and me to meet, and I will give you some gifts. ”
After speaking, from the Qiankun world, he took out a porcelain vase and came out. There are thirty pieces in it, and the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill. handed it to Shi Chong and said, "This is a healing elixir, as long as there is still a breath left, it can be cured." It is inevitable that you will be injured when you march and fight, so you can take it well."
Yu Jia didn't dare to say that this was the Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Pill. If you say, here, there may be a life-and-death struggle. You must know that a nine-turn soul restoring pill is tens of thousands of taels of gold.
Shi Chong took it and thanked Yu Jia again. Yu Jia said goodbye to Shi Chong. A group of five people continued southward. During the journey, Yujia's divine sense swept over every inch of land. Now that Yu Jia's divine consciousness is released, he can perceive thousands of miles. Cities, counties, mountains, rivers, all in my mind. For the future, marching and fighting for the purpose of war.
A few people traveled for several days, but nothing happened. On this day, several people came to Luoyang. Luoyang is the first of the four ancient capitals. At that time, there were as many as 200,000 households in Luoyang. The population has reached more than one million. It was the largest city at that time.
Along the way, Yujia discovered a strange thing. That is, there are many temples in this southern country. And this temple is quite wealthy. Not only to say, how vigorous the incense in this temple is. Although there was a war, the temple was indeed an excellent place to stay.
There is a temple here, and there is no tax on farming. And there is a lot of land for each temple. Most of them were given by the gentry and were mortgaged. At that time, this monastery actually lent money to the world. Many gentry also like to put their excess money in the temple and use it to make money.
In the people, the reputation of the temple is quite good. The temple lends money, and the interest rate is even higher, which is scary. The interest rate of private usury is even higher than that of monasteries. It is often borrowed in the morning, and when it is repaid in the evening, the principal will be repaid several times, or even ten times.
The holy land of Buddhism is originally a place of compassion, although it is not as high as the people, it is indeed one or two times as high. In addition, the temple also opened a hotel and charged a fee.
Therefore, the Buddhist temple has accumulated a lot of money. The people are also accustomed to it. Emperor Wen of Song can also be regarded as a good emperor. In recent years, many dead loans have also been waived for private loans with government families. But the people, he, the emperor, has no choice.
The share of the money of the whole country, the temples, is also quite large. Most of them are in the hands of princes and ministers, landlords and old wealthy, and the real royal family has not many of them. There are few ordinary people, it can be imagined.
At that time, there were various forms of money circulation, such as grain and cloth, which could be used as money. The phenomenon of exchanging goods for goods is widespread, and most of the loans are mortgaged by houses, land, and livestock. If you borrow money and other things, you can't pay them back at that time, and it is convenient to borrow money to recover your property. It's no different from today's pledged loans.
Therefore, the people of the southern country are still living in poverty, and displaced people abound. There are countless people who have been sold into slavery.
Yu Jia came all the way, and pondered about it. In the south, how to break this situation and gain a foothold.
What the people are most concerned about is food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and the poor are most concerned about filling their stomachs first and not being hungry. Luoyang City, the largest temple is the White Horse Temple, located in the east of the city, twenty miles. The White Horse Temple is the earliest and first temple in China, built in the Han Dynasty. It is also the first place where Han Chinese become monks. The Buddhist "Twenty-four Classics" came out here.
Yu Jia and several people, disguised as merchants. In the evening, he came to the monastery to stay. There were little novices, who warmly received them, and gave them five places to stay.
The little novice smiled and said, "Several donors, each person in this temple has ten dollars a night, and he is in charge of a meal. If it is convenient for the donor, he needs to pay the money for the hotel first. Yu Jia listened to it and thought: This store is not expensive. So he took out a few taels, scattered the silver, and handed it to the little novice.
Asked, "I wonder how much this money will cost in this place."
When the little novice saw the silver, he hurriedly said, "Spend it, spend it."
Yu Jia asked, "Then these are enough for me and the five masters and servants to pay for the store?"
The little novice smiled and said, "Enough, enough, just a little more."
Yu Jia said, "Then take it." The rest, for you. Little monk, I have something to do, and I still need you, I wonder if you are willing to help?"
The little novice smiled and said, "Good, but I don't know, what is the main monk doing?"
Yu Jia said: "I want to buy some fields here. I don't know if you can inform the host of your office tomorrow, I want to meet with your host."
After hearing this, Xiao Shami said with a smile: "If you want to see, it is very convenient for me to host the temple." However, my family is very good. The donor will see that the little monk can report it early tomorrow morning. Ke Shi mainly buys the land, and this matter has always been the finance department, and the uncle of Jiyun is in charge. If you want to buy a field, you have to find his old man."
After hearing this, Yu Jia hurriedly said: "This is very good, then trouble the little monk, inform your ancestor tomorrow, and say, I want to find him, how about it?"
The little novice replied with a smile: "This little thing is wrapped up in the little monk." Early tomorrow morning, I will talk to my ancestors. When the little monk comes to call the donor, it is."
Yu Jia smiled and said, "Then there will be work."
On the second day, early in the morning, the little novice knocked on the door of Yu Jia's room. Yu Jia opened the door, and the little novice made a joke, and said in his mouth: "Mida Buddha, donor, my uncle, let the little monk tell the donor." Let the donor have breakfast, and then you can pay a visit."
Yu Jia listened: "It's hard work" After speaking, Xiao Shami turned around and left. Yu Jia freshened up, had breakfast, and then asked the little novice to lead the way, and came to the meditation room of Master Jiyun.
After the little novice reported, Yu Jia came to the meditation room and said, "Master, Jiang Yujia is in Xia Jiang Yujia, I suddenly visited, there was something abrupt, I hope the master will forgive me." ”
This master of fortune is over fifty years old. But here, those who eat fasting and chant Buddha in the temple are also very well maintained, and their faces are full of red light. The old monk returned the salute and said, "Amitabha, the donor doesn't have to be polite. The old monk already knew the benefactor's intention. But I don't know where the donor is, and how much land will he buy?"
Yu Jia doesn't talk nonsense either. Everywhere she passed along the way, Yu Jia already knew the topography of this place. So he said: "I don't know if the Woniu Mountain Range, which is three hundred miles southwest of here, and one of Jingshi Mountain, may be sold?"
After hearing this, the old monk lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "Jingshi Mountain, it is the industry of my Zen Academy. However, there is not much arable land there. It is mostly mountainous and very desolate. When the donor bought it, he didn't get much grain and rice. Wouldn't it be a loss-making transaction to buy it?"
Yu Jia said with a smile: "I will cultivate it in the next place, and plant some mountain fruits and herbs." The fields are slowly being cultivated, not in a hurry, not in a hurry."
After hearing this, the old monk nodded, and said, "I don't know the donor, how big is the territory to buy?"
Yu Jia said: "Jingshi Mountain, the boundary within a radius of 300 miles, I will buy it all." ”
The old monk listened and bowed his head and thought for a long time. In fact, this Jingshi Mountain is an ownerless thing. In troubled times, this mountain is already desolate, and there are people, and they are also individual hunters. A few people live there.
The old monk is, and he deliberately wants to pit Yujia. But this Wolong Ridge is indeed also in the White Horse Temple, in the main book. It's just that who will be idle and spend money to buy a mountain to play.
Yu Jia saw the old monk and didn't speak for a long time, so she asked, "Master, maybe it's for sale?"
After hearing this, the old monk came back to his senses and said, "Amitabha! Donor, of course you sell it." It's just this, with a radius of three hundred miles, which is indeed bigger. I don't know, the donor has that full yellow and white thing in his pocket?"
Yu Jia listened to it and understood. This is a worry, I don't have any money in my pocket. Busy smiled and said: "Master, although you say yes, money is not a problem"
After hearing this, the old monk pondered in his heart, it seems that he is a rich master. But I have never sold such a large mountain myself, and how much does it cost? I gave him a lion and slaughtered him, and then said, "Such a large mountain forest is rich in products." There are countless mountain treasures and beasts in it, and the monks, if they don't speak, they will accept you, three million taels of gold. ”
When Yu Jia heard it, three million taels was indeed a bit expensive. How much can I buy land? But when I think about it, it's worth it to set up a dojo myself. So Yu Jia said: "These three million taels of gold are indeed a little expensive." But it doesn't matter, it's down, and you can afford it. However, so much gold will not be shipped back in the next hour and a half. Do you have that to barter?"
The old monk said: "As long as it is a rare thing, this courtyard is it, you can count it" Yu Jia listened, and he had a bottom in his heart, so he said: "I don't know the master, but have you heard of it, the elixir of immortality? It can prolong life to three hundred years old, in the world, a pill is, one hundred thousand taels of gold." It's hard to come by, but I wonder if it's worth it?"
The old monk, although he sat in the temple and stayed at home, he had heard of the elixir of the northern kingdom when it came out. The abbot of this temple also went to get three waters. But in several auctions, no bids were found. I bought a few.
As soon as he heard the Immortal Pill, the old monk's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Immortal Pill, could it be that the donor has that Immortal Pill on his body?"
Yu Jia smiled and said, "Eh, I was lucky enough to win some at the auction in the northern country." Enough to buy this Jingshi Mountain"
The old monk listened to it and hurriedly said: "With this elixir, of course it is worth it."
Yu Jia smiled and said, "Is it really worth it?" The monk nodded: "Really worth it" Yu Jia asked again: "Really worth it?" The old monk nodded like pounding garlic: "Really worth it." ”
Yu Jia listened to it, and said with a smile: "Then please invite the master, and get the contract to buy the mountain" The old monk listened to it and said that it was good.
So he got up, took the four treasures of the study, and wrote a copy of the deed of selling the mountain. Approximate content, the White Horse Temple will sell Luocheng, three hundred miles to the southwest, the main peak Jingshi Mountain, a radius of three hundred miles, at the price of three million taels of gold, to Jiang Yujia. Jiang Yujia used the elixir as a payment method and paid it to the White Horse Temple. Each nuclear pill counts 100,000 taels of gold, and 30 pills of immortality are coordinated. In person, the purchase contract takes effect. On the date, both parties signed and pledged.
After finishing the work, Yu Jia handed a porcelain bottle to the old monk. The old monk took the porcelain vase, opened it, and counted exactly thirty pieces. I couldn't be happier.
Yu Jia said with a smile: "Master, since you have the elixir of immortality, then Jiang, don't pass it away." ”
The old monk hurriedly said: "Amitabha, donor, please"
Yu Jia took the contract and turned to leave. As soon as Yu Jia left here, the old monk was in the room, so he couldn't wait to take out an immortal pill. Excitedly, a breath of aura immediately filled the whole body, and it was extremely comfortable.
After a cup of tea, the old monk felt that the medicinal power was digested. In a hurry, he walked to the bronze mirror and took a photo. I saw He Ran in the bronze mirror, a bald monk in his twenties, smiling at the mirror. When the old monk saw it, he laughed: "What a miracle medicine!
Laughing, I thought, this one has it, so effective. The man said that one has that, three hundred years of life. Those ten are not just three thousand years of life. These thirty are 9,000 years of life.
Don't you know that this one, and ten, Shouyuan are the same. Moreover, this pill was taken in unison at once, and the effect was too great. Ordinary people will explode and die if they take more clothes. This old monk only knows one of them, but he doesn't know the other. Originally, the lifespan was increased to 300 years old, but because the greed was too heavy, ten more grains were sent into the mouth at once.
This is good, in a few breaths, the old monk bled from his seven orifices and his belly burst. All of a sudden, he lost his life and became a ghost who died early.
Here, the old monk died suddenly, which was naturally alarmed, and the White Horse Temple presided over. The host came to the meditation room and looked at the situation of Jiyun. I saw Ji Yun, and his face looked like he was twenty years old. When Jiyun was young, the old host remembered. I knew that this was eating the pill of immortality.
Immortal Dan, the old monk is clear, and he will never die. After a search, some disciples saw the porcelain vase on the table. So he handed it to the abbot. The abbot took it and opened it to take a look. It is the pill of immortality, one count, nineteen grains. The old monk frowned and thought: How can I get this luck, so many immortal pills?
As soon as he was cross-examined, the little novice spoke. Jiang Yujia, who wants to buy land, said it again and again. When the old monk heard this, he knew what was going on. Looking at Jiyun's death again, you will know the ins and outs of this matter.
This luck does not know the efficacy of the elixir. It must have been a lot of serving, which led to the explosion and death. He didn't know that this luck took eleven pills at once. If you knew, you would be distressed to death. He said, "Amitabha! This matter should not be mentioned again, and the good life will be buried!"
A greedy thought, lost his life. I don't want to show what happened at the White Horse Temple.
Yu Jia's side, with the four envoys of wind and rain, came out of the White Horse Temple. Then he rode the clouds into the sky and flew towards Woniuling.
Jingshi Mountain, according to legend, is the Taishang Laojun, the place where the world practices and meditates. In an instant, Yu Jia and several people fell on Jingshi Mountain, the top of the peak. Looking down, the mountains are full of clouds and mist, green cypress and green pines, but it is like a fairyland.
Yu Jia smiled: "It's a good place, wait for me to retouch it" Yu Jia began to practice.
There are many streams here, Yujia has opened up dozens of waterfalls with the help of mountains and rivers, and according to the Five Elements Formation, several canyons have been opened, so that here, the dragon veins have gathered.
In the mountains, a stone forest was carved out as a large array to guard the mountain, and a spell was cast under the clouds, and spiritual rain fell to change the soil here. The aura is rich, like a drenched nectar.
On the slopes of the hills, hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile fields are opened, and spiritual grasses, wheat seedlings, and seasonal vegetables are planted. From the Qiankun world, a kind of life, the red butterfly, is released as the Kun Ling who guards Jingshi Mountain.
Legend has it that butterflies are the spirits of Kun. The colorful butterflies all over the mountains and fields suddenly add a bit of mystery to this mountain forest.
After doing all this, Yujia was not idle. As a dojo, you always have to get a few places to live. According to the mountain, Yujia built several palaces, and built a temple on the top of Jingshi Mountain.
According to his own impression, the face of the master was carved into a statue of a god and erected in the temple. Later generations, this temple was regarded as the Laojun Temple.
Because this was once the place where Lao Tzu practiced. The statue is again, the appearance of Taoist dress. No one has ever seen what Lao Jun looks like. The person who looks at the statue, the fairy wind and bones, is regarded as the old gentleman. This is the afterlife, and Yu Jia naturally doesn't know.
After doing all this, Yu Jia made some modifications to it according to the pattern of the Sanshui Plum Blossom Sect. Build the mountain gate and mention the plum blossom teaching big characters. On all sides, four pagodas are laid out, and a deep pool is opened in front of the mountain gate, and two demon beasts are released, as the sacred beasts that protect the mountain. In the mountains and forests, countless plum blossoms are scattered, and when the plum blossoms are in full bloom, it is another scene.
The dojo was opened. So Yu Jia decided to go to Luoyang City to recruit disciples. He turned to the four envoys of Fengyun and said, "Let's go, let's go to Luoyang City for a walk." ”
This is exactly what it is:
The newly opened dojo Woniu Mountain, the disciples came to the hall and entered the room
Red butterflies are flying all over the valley, and plum blossoms are blooming everywhere
Sect leader Yu Jia has great mana, and the four clouds make the Tao boundless
The scenery outside Luoyang City is good, and the heart is also safe in the mountains
