On the way through Zhizhou, Alan and others encountered many strange things, including robbers and robbers, and sneaky thieves, of course, these people were sent to the official by Alan and others. These people are wandering in the mountains and wilderness of Zhizhou, evading the pursuit of the government while doing illegal things.

Zhou Bulong saw that there were so many filths in Zhizhou, and he felt a little dazed in his heart. As a Buddhist foot monk, his mission was originally to spread the Dharma and cross people, but at this time, his heart gradually changed.

Although the big lance is strong, but the small problems continue, the country is rich and the people are strong, the country is rich in soldiers, and the people are stronger than wisdom. The literacy rate of the lance is extremely high, close to 90%, what is this concept?

The literacy rate of the Great Zhou is less than 50 percent, and the South China Sea is only 30 percent.

There are many people who read in the big lance, accounting for more than half of the literate people, and the others have more needs. Wu seeks meaning, Tao seeks enlightenment, Buddha seeks law, and literature seeks officials.

That is to say, what martial artists seek is a martial arts conception, Taoism seeks the road to enlightenment, monks seek to read Buddhist scriptures, and Confucianism seeks to enter the court as officials.

So what about what none of the four seek?

These outlaws are actually not stupid, but very smart, they don't commit crimes frequently, and they usually change regions immediately after doing a job, which is simply a model of wandering.

In fact, the imperial court has known about their existence for a long time, but these people do not kill people, nor do they do a big deal, it is completely within the scope of the victims. There are really not many people who report to the officials, and the manpower and material resources needed to exterminate these people are unknown, and the great lance who is working hard is unwilling to spend effort on such a thing that does little harm.

In other words, Alan and the others saved Du Zou and the others, which was useless at all, because the arms dealer did not dare to provoke the majesty of the big lance at all, and only dared to make some small deals.

The so-called involvement is very big, but the four of them think about the matter too seriously. Now that I think about it, the Zou family and the Zhichong Army, that is, the garrison army, reacted too blandly to the bombing, and they probably knew the inside story a long time ago.

Alan and the others only understood these things completely after a long time, and now they are still slowly advancing on the edge of Zhizhou.

Zhou Bulong faintly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it, he was just a monk.

Alan and Tu Fengnian themselves are not big lancers, even if they are worried, they can't take care of it, so they have to try their best to arrest these wanderers and send them to the official. Therefore, the four of them moved slowly.

Fortunately, today I finally left the boundary of Zhizhou, and suddenly the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and there were no clouds.

As soon as they entered Zhongzhou, Alan and the others felt extraordinary.

Magpies on the branches chirp, and white fish bend in the river. The sky and the earth are clear, birds and beasts and mountains and rivers.

As a scholar, Tu Fengnian likes this turbid and distinct scene the most, and his mood can't help but feel happy, and his depression for many days dissipates.

"The river is so clear that the fish and shrimp in the river can be seen clearly, which shows that the big lance has managed the river properly. It is said that the name of this river is Dawen Canal, and the section of the river we are on is at the end. ”

Zhou Bulong added: "It is said that this river originally only flowed in the northern part of Zhongzhou, and it was a tributary of the largest river, the Donggu Changhe. ”

With the power of a country, the supernatural powers do not know how many, and the labor cost is so heavy that even Da Zhou can't afford it. But the lance did it, and he still had the energy to open up the trade road of the elven kingdom.

Many of the materials of the three countries of the Western Continent will be delivered to the big lance through this trade route, which greatly enriches the economic market of the big lance, and the three western kingdoms also understand the terrifying economic strength of the big lance - no matter how much it produces, the merchants of the big lance seem to be able to sell it, in other words, no matter how much you give me, I can eat the big lance.

Having said that, Alain and the others were only amazed by the canal's generosity, but they didn't realize the actual significance of the canal.

"But such a clear river can only be seen on the southern edge of Zhongzhou, and further on, the river deepens, and you can't see the bottom, and there are more boats passing by, rippling water. The South China Sea is indeed far inferior. ”

As a native of the South China Sea, Tu Fengnian couldn't help but sigh at the strength of the big brother of the human race, and at the same time was a little worried about the weakness of the motherland.

Yes, weak, the South China Sea is the weakest of the human countries, and the force is really not enough. Although there is a large Leiyin Temple located in Xilu Mountain, Leiyin Temple, as a Buddhist temple, generally does not interfere in the war of the South China Sea.

Of course, the South China Sea is bounded by the endless Xuezhu Mountains to the west, the Great Zhou to the east, and the Great Lance to the north, and has not been at war for hundreds of years. The only thing that is commendable in the South China Sea is the amazing grain production, whether it is rice or aquatic products, including all kinds of crops, the grain production of the South China Sea country far exceeds the food needs of the country. Therefore, most of the grain will be exported and sold in Da Lance or Da Zhou.

Therefore, the three countries of the Western Continent also call the South China Sea country the granary of mankind.

Fortunately, Tu Fengnian is still young, and he does not have too much sadness, but feels these fresh scenery with his heart.

The four of them continued to move forward, and finally arrived at the first prefecture of Zhongzhou, Pingchuan Mansion.

The garrison of Pingchuan Province was a squad under the jurisdiction of the Third Central Division, numbering one hundred, all of whom were Arhats.

The composition of the three central divisions is complex, but there are generally four types: Confucianism, martial arts, arhats, and Taoists. Arhat is a special identity of Buddhism, who does not practice the Dharma, but only practices Buddhism. In other words, they don't need to take ordination, they don't need to lose their hair, they just need to practice the exercises.

If you don't have a Buddha heart, then the Buddha can only be powerful, not supernatural. For example, Pu Neng, he cultivates the Dharma, has the Buddha's mind in his heart, and can transform all kinds of supernatural powers when reciting Buddhist scriptures, such as gold-like fists, three heads and six arms, these are all supernatural powers. But like the Arhat body, there can only be one mana, and it can only rudely condense the mana on the body to increase the power.

Of course, there are also some amazing Arhats who can realize that the Dharma is just a way to get closer to the Buddha, and that the real Buddha is the great compassion, the great bodhi heart.

However, there are very few such people, and they are far from this level like universal energy.

As soon as the four of them came here, they were warmly welcomed by the garrison, and the reason was naturally Pu Neng. Pu Neng's troubles disappeared, which made the soldiers awe-inspired.

It should be noted that when the filaments fall off on their own, they will leave light holes that can be easily distinguished, especially for those who practice Buddhism. The arhats naturally admired this profound Buddhist monk.

A group of big men pushed the three of them to the restaurant to eat, because Qiao Su ordered them and they didn't dare to push ......

After tossing for a while, everyone finally sat down, but the arhats couldn't help but drink, it didn't mean that Pu Neng couldn't help it, but Zhou Bulong was kind by nature, and people respected me and I respected people, and I didn't want to sweep everyone's face like this.

He thought to himself: Anyway, I have already become a foot monk, and I didn't say that foot monks can't drink wine and eat meat! In fact, most foot monks break their vows soon after they go out, and it really doesn't matter, after all, my Dharma is self-enlightened, so why should I respect the prohibition of the original law?

So after the wine and meat were eaten, Zhou Bulong had a different feeling......
