Chapter 454 Yinglong Cult
Zhang Yanling looked at Du Fu and said to the hunter beside him, "Wang Liulang, this is the Chang'an dynasty official I mentioned earlier."
Wang Liulang squatted down, looked at Du Fu, and said in a deep voice: "If your body is not in a state of mind, you will leave here quickly with us. If you leave too late, the thief will become suspicious, and maybe there will be accomplices again."
Upon hearing this, Du Fu quickly got up and followed Zhang Yanling and Wang Liulang to leave the place.
The group walked along the mountain path.
Du Fu bowed to Zhang Yanling and Wang Liulang and said, "If the two righteous men had not helped each other today, I would have ended up dying."
Zhang Yanling glanced at Du Fu: "I have told you a long time ago that people's hearts are sinister, so you should pay attention to it everywhere."
Du Fu first lowered his head and responded, and then said to Wang Liulang: "Someone is named Du Fu, whose courtesy name is Zimei. She is a secretary-general in the Secretariat of the Secretariat. I don't know what the righteous man is called?"
Wang Liulang was tall and had an extraordinary temperament. He bowed and replied, "Wang Hong, whose courtesy name was Honggong, was from Jinyang, Taiyuan, but from a mountain village... Du Xueshu escaped from the danger of the tiger's mouth. The first thing he should thank was Zhang Xiaoyou. He found us and said that a magistrate who came here from Chang'an to rescue disasters might be in danger, so I brought people to save him."
When Du Fu heard this, he bowed to Zhang Yanling and said, "My good deeds are unforgettable."
Zhang Yanling waved his hand and said, "If you were a bad official, I would like you to die sooner... It is because you said that you should investigate the disasters in various places and report them to the court. I know that you truly love the people, so I made up my mind to save your life."
Du Fu: "Fu has something unknown. How do you know that I am in danger?"
Zhang Yanling: "I went to Daning City to do business this morning and accidentally saw you leaving the mansion. As soon as you left the door, someone sneaked and followed you all the way. I guess someone wanted to be unfavorable to you, so I ran back to the camp, found Wang Liulang, and invited reinforcements."
Du Fu showed fear on his face and bowed to Zhang Yanling again.
Wang Hong: "Although Du escaped this time, the thief will definitely not give up and will set up another ambush on the way. You should be careful."
Du Fu nodded and asked Wang Hui again: "I saw Wang Liulang's great archery skills, but he was from the army?"
Hearing this topic, Zhang Yanling clapped his hands and smiled: "Wang Liulang is not only archery, he is also familiar with military tactics and martial arts. Everyone in the neighboring villages knows that Liulang is very wise and virtuous, and they all admire him."
Du Fu: "Liulang has such superb skills, why don't he join the army and serve the court?"
Wang Hong was silent for a moment: "Two years ago, I planned to go to Luoyang, the eastern capital to participate in the martial arts competition. Before leaving, someone in Jinyang City posted a book about Yinglong, saying that it was Yinglong's warning that there would be floods within half a month. At first, I didn't believe it, but later I asked some merchants who were traveling around the country, and then I realized that what Yinglong said would be effective and had never been cheated."
Du Fu said in surprise: "It must be effective?"
Wang Chong nodded and said, "No, right... the relatives at home are all in Jinyang. I was worried about participating in the martial arts competition. I was afraid that my family would suffer from disasters, so I delayed my trip and stayed. Half a month later, a flood broke out in the city. Fortunately, my family had prepared in advance, so no one was injured or killed. From then on, Chong made up his mind to pursue the sign of Yinglong and gradually stopped his career."
After hearing this, Du Fu sighed and felt even more curious about the corresponding Long's statement.
After more than half an hour of walking, the group finally arrived at an ancient temple located in Pushuidang.
The ancient temple was first built in the early Sui Dynasty. It was originally a meditation temple for seclusion. Later, due to the war, fewer monks were found and eventually abandoned in the mountains.
There was nothing else to see from outside. As soon as Du Fu stepped into the temple, he saw a large area of people in the ancient temple, with people everywhere staying in the temple.
There are men and women, old and young, roughly estimates, there are thousands.
Although people are ragged and have a good face, they are not depressed.
Wang Hong entered the ancient temple and asked around. Seeing that Wuren was sick and hungry, he felt relieved and took Du Fu and Zhang Yanling to the inner courtyard.
On the way, Zhang Yanling saw Du Fu's face was surprised and said, "The Yinglong Cult in Pushuidang is mainly composed of two people. Wang Liulang is the head of the family when he practices hunting and publicizes the enemy. He is responsible for preaching doctrines and recruiting believers."
Du Fu: "There are still doctrines in Yinglong's theory?"
Zhang Yanling: "There are three major sutras in Yinglong's doctrine, namely the ancient sutra, the interpretation and the world sutra. Each sutra also has quotations, holy music, classics, wisdom, law, false sutra, and even talk about the Dharma appearances of the heavens."
Du Fu: "You little friend, what is Yinglong's teachings roughly talking about?"
Zhang Yanling scratched his head: "In the three classics of Yinglong, the ancient classics are difficult to understand, and the scriptures are mysterious and impermanent. Only in the world scriptures, most of them are legends of gods and wise men, and they can still understand them. The general meaning is that all religions in the world, whether Taoism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, scriptures or other things, are branches under one god."
Du Fu: "How can I explain this?"
Zhang Yanling: "There is only one god of eternal times. It is unpredictable, with countless names and appears in countless places. Many religious views are different, so it has different doctrines and different statements. But in the final analysis, there is only one god, but it is called different. In Yinglong's doctrine, this only god is called the True God. Yinglong is the messenger who passed the voice of the True God to the world."
Du Fu listened while carefully chewing on the words in it.
After entering the inner courtyard, Wang Hong knocked on the door panel of the wing room.
Soon, the doctrine and believer Marquez walked out of the room.
When Du Fu saw this person, he was shocked.
The reason is that the Yinglong Sect, named Marquez, was actually a brown-haired and blue-eyed Westerner.
After listening to Wang Hong's explanation, Ma Kuis said to Du Fu: "Du proofreads, if you want to understand the disaster situation in Hedong Road, I can help you."
Du Fu was a little surprised: "Can you help me?"
Maques: "The Yinglong Cult has hydrology and meteorological records in Hedong, as well as statistics on the number of people affected by the state capital. If these are helpful to you, I can lend you excerpts."
Du Fuxiu said: "This is true? It's the best!"
Marquez: "But you better seize the time, because the sect will set off and leave Pushuidang in not long after."
Du Fu: "Leave here? Can you ask where to go?"
Marquez: "As the teachings of Yinglong, we are going to the Promised Land."
Du Fu: "Where is the promised land?"
Marquez: "Going west, going west, the middle road is long, it should be an ascetic journey."
Du Fu hesitated for a moment and suggested to Makuis: "I will sort out everything that happened here into a memorial, and then submit it to the court through the secretary. As long as the court is willing to issue an order to rescue the disaster, all victims will be properly resettled... So, you don't have to leave at all."
Makuis shook his head and said to Du Fu: "Yinglong came to the world, not only warned the world to avoid disasters, but also taught the world to travel west to pilgrimage. The profound meaning of this cannot be explained clearly in just a few words."
Wang Hui, who was standing beside him, said, "Not only in Pushuidang, Sangquan, Gandao, Jiaoli and other places, there are dozens of Yinglong sects, they will set off, leave their hometowns, and head west to the promised land. This trip has long been fixed, so Du no longer needs to persuade him to proofread the book."
When Du Fu heard this, he looked at the people in front of him and sighed deeply.
