Chapter 341: Heavenly Lu
"Heaven is heavenly, listen to the heavens and eat the heavens, the heavens do not allow it, and the people have no way. God redeems God, saves the suffering, honors God for creation, and protects our disciples. One eye is wise, the other eye is enlightened, immortal and virtuous, and it is difficult to penetrate. The bones are like steel, the tendons are like iron, they are born and regenerated, and they are separated from mortal bones. God gives destruction, and sins should be atoned for, and if they do not enter God's redemption, the earth will destroy the heavens. ”
This plausible Confucian and non-Buddhist discourse came from the 'Divine Redemption Religion', which is easy to understand, and can be understood by illiterate people, and it has been compiled into a nursery rhyme and sung around, and it is the doctrine of its opening chapter.
In the fifth year of 'Tianlu', in the spring, 'Osumi Tiancheng' was short of money and food in the gang, and the trading was at a loss, so he 'extracted' more than 10,000 people in the 'list of points' to persuade him to help, and more than 10,000 people had no livelihood so they voted against Wang Yang Yiyou, Yang Yiyou had less than 100 survivors since the defeat of his subordinates in the winter of the previous year, and now he has his help to revive his strength.
At the beginning of March, he attacked the 'Zhongzhou Zen Buddhism', looted incense, burned the monastery, and killed and injured the monks. In the middle of March, the attack on the 'Zhongzhou Dao Realm', after the Dao Realm retreated from the enemy, he ordered the mountain to be closed, and refused all pilgrims (there were no pilgrims for a long time), at the end of March, the attack on the 'Yang Dao League', the eighteen branches of the 'Yang Dao League' were robbed, and the general rudder retreated from the enemy under the joint forces of Shao Mingqian, Tiger and Xiang Tieyi.
At the beginning of April, Liukou found the fish pond where Liang Xie was, and attacked in groups, Liang Xie fought with him, Shao Mingqian rushed to hear the news, and the thieves retreated.
In the middle of April, the 'Yang Dao Alliance' was chaotic again, and there were many thieves (it is okay to say that there was an uprising).
In the following months, Yang Yi swept the world with a raging posture and then returned to the peak, and the places he passed were either extinguished.
'Tianlu' five years, summer, the great drought, 'Zhongzhou', 'Tangzhou', 'Xijiang' three states are as red as blood, the ground is as hard as iron, the people dig grass roots, the bark is food, the bark, the grass roots are exhausted, cannibalism, so the robbers are prosperous, and the 36 roads against the king, Yang Yi by holding his bull's ears, rampant in the world, the state capital is invincible.
In the middle of May, the "Gumengzhou" half of the territory rained for several days, the river waves overflowed, the city was like an ocean, and the "hidden state" dragon turned over and the house collapsed. At the end of May, Yang Yi dug the 'dragon vein' of the imperial court, the emperor wept and sinned himself, punished himself for several crimes, and cut off his hair, and Jiang Yuanling suppressed him.
At the beginning of June, the locust plague recurred, the ground did not see grass, the well did not see water, the locusts hurt people and had no plan, at that time, the people were gone, the 'Yangdao League' all branches were in trouble, several branches of the rice, flour, grain and oil were looted, the situation deteriorated to the point that the business of 'Zhongzhou' was already difficult to do, Shao Mingqian had to reduce the seven components of the hall, and sold the grain in it for cash.
Fish pond.
The spring water in the upper reaches of the fish pond was cut off, the fish pond shrunk by nearly half in just half a year, the water is shallow and the food is less, the original fish can no longer raise so much, Shao Mingqian sent people to salvage most of them several times, and the rest barely survived.
Last year, there was only silt left in the well, Liang Xie dug the well every day for the past two months, the well was digging deeper and deeper, but the water was getting less and less, during this period Liang Xie went back to the 'Yang Dao League' rudder side, the situation was about the same, several wells were out of water, the newly dug well was ten miles away from the rudder, and it was much deeper than the original well, the people in the rudder were less than a day since the beginning of the year, and now except for the tiger they have a new group' There are only about 20 people outside Xuanyiwei, the cattle and sheep that were originally fed on the mountain have to be sold, and the medicinal herbs and crops planted have all borne fruit, and the wrinkles on Shao Mingqian's face have been so deep that they can trap mosquitoes in just half a year, Liang Xie saw it in his eyes, and it hurt in his heart, but there was no way, what could he do if it didn't rain?
Originally, the 'Yangdao League' collected too much grain that year, enough to eat for several years, but it was sold and in response to the call of the imperial court for disaster relief, escorting military rations, so that there was not much left, so many people in the gang turned their faces against Shao Mingqian, defected to the Liukou, and joined the 'God Redemption Sect'.
In the past few years, Liang Xie has been guarding the fish pond, rarely going down the mountain, and very little is known in the world. Tianlu's first year of two taels of silver and a stone of rice rose to seventeen taels of silver and a stone when I couldn't believe my ears, now the shortage of food can be seen, and in addition to food, almost everything is worthless, the original value of antique calligraphy and painting has not been exchanged for a stone of good rice, and a well with water is even more difficult to find, often run dozens of miles to line up for half an hour, and then wait for the bottom of the well to seep out, and finally hit half a bucket of mud and half a bucket of water away.
Bathing is a kind of luxury nowadays, most people have a rare water bath for half a year or even a year, 'Qiuchi Mountain' is not so because of the abundant water source, but since the beginning of this year, the people, the Liukou began to enter the mountain in a big way, pick up the bark, eat the leaves of the tree to toss a good mountain into the shape, from the 'Yang Dao League' far away valley is more like a locust plague in advance. Liang Xie never thought that rice and water would be so precious, and the things that are usually not lacking are so fatal once they are missing.
The two brothers stood on the 'cliff' of the back mountain, looking at the bare peaks, the air in front of them was twisted and shaking under the scorching sun, and people were in it as if they were roasting in the hot magma, and the locusts flew past the two from time to time, Shao Mingqian's robe sleeves shook and wrapped in dozens, that day at noon Liang Xie and Shao Mingqian ate locusts, eaten raw, there was no excess oil for people to fry and eat, and there was no extra water for people to clean, except for raw food, they could only be roasted and eaten. Although the Yang Dao League is not so difficult, it will be almost dry for another two years, so Shao Mingqian chose to pinch his head and eat it raw, and Liang Xie also followed it to eat it raw.
Liang Xie didn't dare to chew, and he didn't know what it tasted like, so he swallowed it in a panic, but Shao Mingqian chewed it slowly, he said that eating it like this would not hurt his stomach, and eating it raw could quench his thirst.
When he went back at night, Liang Xie was nauseous all night and vomited, he knew that at this time, the life of ordinary people was like this, and it was even more difficult to have a locust to eat in summer and winter, compared to his life was already very, very good, and it couldn't be better.
"Tianlu" five years into the winter, the fish pond is frozen three feet, more than half of the fish die, the last resort "Yang Dao League" has to chisel the ice to fish out the dead fish and eat it, a winter "Yang Dao League" in the people are eating fish every three or five times, the days are very good.
This year was unexpectedly disappointing, there were disasters and bad news everywhere throughout the year, and the only thing that pleased Liang Xie was that his skills were more profound, his knife skills were more wild, and his hidden weapons had made a big breakthrough.
After studying the secret book left by the impermanence, his secret weapon at this time is no longer limited to flying cones, copper coins, wood chips, and stones are all the same in his hand; at this time, his flying cone is smaller than before, and it is more convenient to carry; at this time, he is no longer limited to using his hands to send hidden weapons, and the hidden weapons are more elusive, and the unprovoked collection of them is unprovoked.
And all of this was done by him calming down and practicing step by step, not seeking to kill or fight, but only practicing for the sake of practicing. Five years is very short, but also very long, sometimes ten five years can pass by without achieving anything, sometimes calm down, settle down, you will find that you can do a lot of things in five years, and even many things that you thought could not be done at all, Liang Xie felt that he seemed to have done some.
He has to say that the 'Heavenly Root Recipe' is a good thing, the 'Thousand Rivers' is a good thing, the 'Twelve Recipes for Hating the Knife' and the cheats left by impermanence, and even his own secret weapon techniques are all good things, a porridge and a meal, a grass and a tree, a mountain and a water are all good things, in the final analysis, the mentality is the real good thing.
At the beginning of the sixth year of Tianlu, the "Yang Dao League" branch was repeatedly robbed, Shao Mingqian only reduced the branch by half again, "Zhongzhou" had the "Yang Dao League" when he was there, he didn't feel how, when the "Yang Dao League" force of the business was getting smaller and smaller, the terrible disaster was immediately reflected, and the situation took a sharp turn The price of rice soon caught up with the "Western Xinjiang", "Tangzhou", "Beichuan" three places, Yang Yi took advantage of this to increase the number of troops, the number of followers increased day by day, gradually to one million, the elite soldiers were countless, and the martial arts sect gathered to respond.
On February 14, Jiang Yuanling led his troops to meet Yang Yiyou, from the morning battle to the afternoon, the losses were more than 10,000, and both sides could not go down, Yang Naiyu.
On the sixth day of the first month of March, the elite of "Tianxiong" tried their best to lead 100,000 "golden cavalry", 30,000 infantry, known as 500,000 bypass, "Tangzhou" knocked on the side, the imperial court transferred Jiang Yuanling to meet the battle, Jiang Yuanling led 120,000 troops to meet the battle in the "Tangzhou" Beiguan, "golden cavalry" got Zhao Lei to help build 22 artillery pieces, and Huo Wuyang, Ji Ranfeng funding, Lou Xiaolou, Ouyang Bai rebelled, the black ant led the killer to secretly kill, Jiang Yuanling was defeated, fifteen generals in the army were assassinated, Jiang Yuanling died in the artillery, Yu Qibai was angry, the soldiers were angry and fought together, the court heard the news and transferred Zhong Zhen to support, Zhong Zhen led 30,000 soldiers, and falsely claimed to be 100,000, the two sides fought fiercely for more than two months, Zhong Zhen had to help the iron coat, sneaked Ji Ranfeng, Huo Wuyang in the tent, angrily killed the fourth of the four handsome 'Tianxiong', and the enemy lost the commander and left.
Si Zhan, Zhong Zhen was stabbed by 12 knives, and half of the skin was stripped off by the 'greedy wings' in his face to be spared, and Ouyang Barberry in Yu Qibai slapped him, almost died, and he had no plan to be stabbed in the iron coat, and the war horse trampled on dozens of horses, slightly injured, and nearly 30,000 people were lost on both sides. Si Zhan, to the name of iron-clad bravery, spread far and wide.
In April, Yang Yi led 200,000 troops by the eleventh anti-king, known as 800,000 to attack the capital, the capital was in danger, when Jiang Yuanling died in battle, Zhong Yu met the enemy, the emperor called the 'Yang Dao League' into Beijing, Shao Mingqian was sent to Tieyi, Tiger, Ning Xiaohu led the 'Xuanyi Guard' 100 people to go, the Tiger, Ning Xiaohu and the 'Xuanyi Guard' cooperated with the forbidden army in the capital, the defenders, the 'Golden Guard' 180,000 guarded the capital, the two sides could not hold each other, until the end of May, the 'Golden Cavalry' retreated, Yang Yi was defeated, the 11th Road Anti-Wang Army was annihilated, Yang Yi was in the 'Dayu Heavenly City', ' Yang Dao League's rebels fled under the escort, Zhong Yu wanted to chase, the 16th Road anti-king led 300,000 troops to come to the aid, the two sides fought, Zhong Yu led more than 1,000 horsemen to and fro, repelled the enemy, beheaded 3,000.
In this battle, the generals were lost, there were too many soldiers, horses and weapons, and the court had no money available, no generals available, and no soldiers to recruit. After the war, Zhong Zhen guarded the 'Tangzhou' border pass, exterminated the anti-king thing and sent him generals, the army lost Jiang Yuanling's command, after which several generals ate empty salaries, military discipline was not as good as before, the emperor had no one to send to endure and endure, only urged to calm Kou as soon as possible, several generals were afraid of the crime after the war, and they were more afraid that when the time came, Wenchen fell into the well and raised the enemy to fatten himself, and the military expenditure of the imperial court increased again and again, and the emperor was angry and wanted to promote Yu Qibai as the commander, but the generals did not accept Yu Qibai's command ability is indeed far less than Jiang Yuanling, so he had to give up.
