Chapter 5: The Wooden Word Camp
Jinju, Raid City.
Legend has it that the seventh ancestor of the Buddha holy road passed through here, suddenly the wind and thunder, the seven ancestors through the thunder, can break the rolling red dust, so as to practice further, Emperor Gaozu got the country, Jinzhou was given to the seven ancestors, the seven ancestors re-named every city in Jinzhou, this place, it became the thunder city.
To the east of Lei City, thousands of miles later is the famous Thousand Buddha Mountain, which is the dojo of the Seven Ancestors, and the Great Compassion Temple, one of the nine holy places, is there.
By the time Liu Chen stepped on his horse and came to Lei City, it had been more than a month since he set off.
As soon as you arrive at the boundary of Jinzhou, the atmosphere of war begins to be strong, especially when you arrive at Leicheng, Weizhou is only a hundred miles to the west, and at this moment the city is full of conscription notices, and the soldiers wearing Jinju guard uniforms are filling the streets and alleys of Leicheng.
"You, get off the horse!" After strolling around for a while, a burly monk blocked Liu Chen's way, the monk was dressed in a military uniform, and his bright bald head reflected the rising sun, which looked so sacred but weird.
Liu Chen forcibly held back a smile, dismounted and arched his hand with a straight face, "I don't know what the Buddha has to say?"
"If you want to laugh, just laugh!" The great monk glanced at Liu Chen angrily, and his bronze bell-like eyes were looking at him meticulously and said: "I am a warrior monk, and all the Buddhas are believers. We are preparing to go to Hangu Pass to defend against the enemy, who are you, where do you come from, and where are you going?"
Liu Chen put away his contempt, and took out the road of Langyawei's lecture from his arms in a proper manner: "A certain person came from Yunzhou, and was about to go to the border of Longmen Town, because of the flash flood in Weizhou, the road was blocked, so he took the noble land, and I hope that the master will make it convenient, and he will go out of the city!"
The great monk looked at Liu Chen, looked at Liu Chen's guide, and when he heard Liu Chen's words, his eyes flashed, and he immediately asked, "What kind of cultivation is the little brother?"
"Uh, if you go back to the master, you are not talented, and you can be worthy of the nine grades of martial arts!"
The great monk stroked his chin with one hand, looked at Liu Chen with a flickering gaze for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Anyway, you are going to the border, if not, see that you are still clever, and there are just a few people missing from me, so I will use you to make up the number!"
"I can't help it, master, I have received a military order, and the establishment is in Longmen, if we miss the war at the border pass, we can't afford it!" Liu Chen hurriedly waved his hand, the big monk in front of him was nervous, if it was the vanguard of Jinzhou, wouldn't he have to accompany him to death?
"You little brother, it's really noisy, it's so decided, the governor of Jinzhou's Langya Wei is in Leicheng at the moment, you have this preparation, I will solve it for you, you give the Buddha and I will be quiet, and I will give you a school official to do. β
"Hey!" Without waiting for Liu Chen to argue again, the big monk grabbed Liu Chen like a chicken, and the two turned over on Liu Chen's mount, and quickly beat their horses and ran towards the camp outside the city.
Liu Chen was still in the center of the camp at will, and the big monk ran quickly towards the camp tent of the Chinese army, and within half an hour, he returned to Liu Chen's side, looking at Liu Chen with a sad face and said: "Liu Chen, from now on, you are the former army colonel under my command, don't know what to do, just your small body, go to Longmen, at most it is a fire head army, or the lowest level, now follow the Buddha and I, I am also a school officer, cheer up Lao Tzu!"
Liu Chen glanced at the school officer's hanger and waist card handed to him by the big monk, and the shock in his heart was indescribable, grandma is a bear, I really didn't see it, this simple and stupid big monk is still a character, this school official, it's coming.
There was no way, Liu Chen stood up straight, arched his hand and sang a promise, which made the big monk smile, and patted Liu Chen's shoulder proudly and said: "Remember, we are from the Pioneer Army Wooden Word Battalion, I am the battalion officer, when I was on the mountain, I called me ascetic, in the future, you will call me General, now follow me, I will take you to meet your brothers!"
I'm really a vanguard, Liu Chen suddenly had an urge to die, and really responded to that sentence, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided. I have come full circle, but as a result, the war is getting more and more intense, and I still become the vanguard.
After following the ascetic walk around the camp for a long time, he came to a small military tent, and the strange thing is that around the entire military tent, there was only a little monk about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a very ill-fitting military uniform, sitting on the edge of the haystack and reciting scriptures.
"General, is this our wooden word battalion?" the corners of Liu Chen's mouth twitched, and a bad premonition appeared in his heart.
"Exactly!" walked to the little monk, put his hands together and sang a Buddha horn, then lowered his head and whispered in the little monk's ear for a long time, the little monk opened his eyes, glanced at Liu Chen a little shyly, smiled and nodded.
"Brother, are you my brother, what about our soldiers?" Liu Chen was a little crazy, along the way, every big camp was in full swing, and the voices were boiling, but this wooden battalion, except for one big and one small monk, there was only one left, isn't it fatal.
"Brother Chen'er saw it himself, the wooden word camp is just us, I am the battalion officer, you and my junior brother are school officers, there are no soldiers, and I don't know the art of war, what do you want to do with soldiers?" β
"You still eat like this?" Liu Chen was a little crazy, "Master, you are my ancestor, is it good for you to find someone else, I still want to go to Longmen, we don't know each other, think about it carefully, I haven't offended you, didn't you say that your family is merciful, why do you want to harm me!"
"Do you think I want to arrest you, I said earlier, three people into an army, I and my junior brother are only two people, in order to get another person to come, I have been squatting at the gate of the city for more than half a month, everyone is organized, the entire Lei City up and down more than 30,000 troops have been divided by the major battalions, and finally caught you, just now you don't say, now your establishment is here, if you want to run, then it is a deserter, hum!"
"Thief bald donkey, don't die well!" Liu Chen roared, raised his foot and kicked away the stone under his feet, and after venting fiercely, he found that several large camps around him were quiet, and after a closer look, hundreds of bald monks were slanting their eyebrows and glaring, looking at themselves unkindly.
Shrunk his neck, then remembered that he was in the Buddha country, the entire Jinzhou camp was a monk, a thief bald donkey scolded everyone in, seeing those monks step by step towards his own encirclement, Liu Chen took a few steps back, and glanced at the two monks around him, one big and one small, this glance, almost didn't blow up his lungs, where else are there monks around, the big and the small two thieves have long been hiding on the side of the grain cart behind the oblique, and are looking around him like a curious baby, the big monk ascetic even took out the melon seeds in his arms, and gave some to the little monk to suffer, the two smiled, and were waiting for the show to beginγ
