Xiangyang is located at the confluence of the rivers next to the Han River, if you go downstream, you can go to Hannan, another smaller city in one day, and then arrive at Jingling in two days, which has been a place for soldiers to fight for since ancient times. Since the Jiangdu Incident, the situation in various localities has also undergone drastic changes.

Those who were already dominating the land and claiming to be the emperor took advantage of the situation to expand their territory, and those who were originally Sui officials or were adopting a wait-and-see attitude rose up one after another to divide one side and become a local force to protect their urban and rural homes.

Although large areas of the Central Plains did not explicitly rebel against the Great Sui, many of them were only nominally subordinate, such as Qian Duguan in Xiangyang.

Shuangdao Qian Duguan is the leading boss of the Han Shui faction, between good and evil, and has a lot of face in both black and white in the local area, doing silk business, and has a rich family background. Of course, these are his identities on the surface, but in fact, he is secretly still a disciple of the Yin Sect, and a ground-level disciple of the same level as Chang Zhenfa.

When the news of Yang Guang's death came, Qian Duguan was expected to return, and was elected as the leader by the local rich gentry and gangs, drove away the original Xiangyang Taishou, organized his own militia group, and took the governance power into his hands.

Qian Duguan knows that he does not have the strength to dominate the world, but at this time when the wind and clouds are rolling and the world is chaotic, he can also guard Xiangyang to stand on his own and act alone, without looking at anyone's face. When Li Mi, Du Fuwei, Li Zitong and other major forces confronted each other, he was even more left and right, and even did a lot of business in exchange for what he needed, as if he was the king of the land.

There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, foreign Buddhism has taken root in the Central Plains, and has developed rapidly in the Middle Earth for hundreds of years, even reaching the point of confronting and even suppressing the local Taoism.

Xiangyang is located in the north and south of the key place, in the past was also the peak of Buddhist incense.

Xiangyang Ganquan Temple, the monk Hui Yuan built the temple in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there is the Ganquan Cave later, the rock is craggy, the spring water comes out of the mouth of the stone dragon, the sweetness is abnormal.

After Qian Duguan actually took control of Xiangyang, he chose to latent control rather than directly exposing the identity of the disciples of the Yin Sect, and attracted all forces, and he also attached great importance to the local Buddhism.

Buddhism was popular in the world, and there were not a few people who believed in Buddhism in the official eunuchs. At that time, although it was a troubled time, but the land of Xiangyang was peaceful, and the official eunuch family friendship tour was still popular, so today, many eunuchs and women in Xiangyang City went on an outing and went to Ganquan Temple together.

The weather in June is unpredictable, the weather is sunny when you go out, and at the foot of Da Hyeon, there is already a drizzle, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the road is slippery on rainy days.

There are many streams in Da Xian Mountain, there are many twists and turns in the mountain road, there are many deficiencies in the bluestone slab bridge, I don't know whether it is in disrepair or a landslide, and until the Xiangyang noble women and horses pass by a small half, one of the two pieces of bluestone slabs about zhang long on a stone slab bridge suddenly slipped to the fall.

Fortunately, it happened to be a convoy of escort horses, and although the riders were skillful, they did not cause any loss of men and horses.

However, because the bluestone slab bridge collapsed and overturned in half, there was a problem on the road. There was nothing wrong with the stone slab bridge with only one bluestone slab left, but there were many carriages in the women's procession, and it was not easy to pass.

But nearly half of the carriages and horses have already passed, and it is not realistic for the other half to go home. Fortunately, there were many guards brought by these women, and everyone worked together to repair the stone bridge, while others went to Ganquan Temple and asked the temple to send people to help repair the bridge.

"Mrs. Qing'er!"

Outside a carriage at the end of the stone bridge, a young scribe figure came up and bowed in greeting.

"Mr. Zheng, what's going on!"

The curtain of the carriage was slightly opened, but the lady inside did not have a probe, but a pair of bright eyes looked out of the window, and then asked the scribe.

The scribe bowed down and said: "The mountain rain road is slippery, this stone bridge is also in disrepair, this time it slipped and fell off half of it, there are no craftsmen among the people we brought, and I am afraid that it will be ...... if we want to repair it."

"Zheng Shuming's side, there's no problem!"

Mrs. Qing in the carriage was silent for a moment, and then asked in a low voice.

The young scribe turned his head to look at a carriage on the other side of the slate bridge, and then replied: "Master Zheng didn't say anything, but originally came to accompany her on an outing to relieve her mood, but in this case, whoever wants to come will not be in a good mood."

However, Mrs. Qing, this Mrs. Zheng has been gathering the people of the Great Jiang League to hunt down and kill Ba Fenghan since Jiang Ba's death, wanting to avenge Jiang Ba.

This woman is determined, but I'm afraid that it won't be a mere attraction that can make her return to her heart. ”

"I know this, but the drop stone wears ......"

Mrs. Qing in the carriage lowered the curtains as she spoke, and her voice gradually thinned.

A trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in the young scribe's eyes, and he turned his head to look at Madame Zheng's carriage, and a trace of pity flashed.

"Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not chant and walk slowly. Bamboo cane and mango shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid......?

Just when the people and horses paused, and the guards and servants braved the rain to repair the bridge, there were bursts of singing in the forests of this Da Xian Mountain, and the long and bright roar made people's hearts move when they heard it, and they unconsciously looked at the place where the song came from.

In the misty mountains and forests, a figure carrying a bamboo basket appeared in everyone's sight.

This is a monk, a monk who is walking with an umbrella, looking very ordinary, but extremely unflattering. This mountain road is slippery, even if the mountain visitors who often go up the mountain to collect medicine have to walk carefully, this monk walked like a fly when he appeared, obviously with extraordinary kung fu.

When the monk got closer, it attracted a burst of exclamations, just because the monk was long...... That's great.

The monk who appeared was wearing a white robe that was usually not variegated, his appearance was extremely handsome, and his temperament was lonely and dusty.

As soon as this monk appeared, he brought people a very special feeling, completely reversing the appearance that a monk should have, wearing a white robe, with a clear temperament, always with a clean smile on the corner of his mouth, and with a touch of majesty, giving people a sense of wanting to approach and rejecting people thousands of miles away.

"It turned out that a landslide destroyed the bridge and blocked the way. ”

The monk came to the hill above the stone bridge, and went to the chariot and horse that stayed at the collapse of the stone bridge seven or eight zhang below, and made a decision in his heart, only to see the monk turn over, and then step on the slope stone cliff behind him with both feet after falling more than three zhang in mid-air.

The monk pedaled on the back of the stone cliff, and then turned over in mid-air, came to the top of the stone bridge, and after a very chic turn, he landed firmly on the side of the broken stone bridge.

"Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate!"

After the monk landed, he announced a Buddha name, folded his hands and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the road in this rain is quite unsafe, you are trapped here in the rain to repair the bridge, you must be in a hurry, the poor monk is not talented, I am willing to help you!"
