Chapter 179: Fake Buddhism, Temples and Temples
As the saying goes, you rely on your parents at home and friends at home.
Walking around the world, making friends with all-round arhats; reaching out to be a righteous man, remembering every bit of kindness. The man agreed with Yang Lin's words very much.
Hearing this, he took the chicken, sucked his nose and swallowed it whole, and ate half of it in a few breaths. He then took the wine from Yang Lin, tilted his neck to his mouth and gushes, and drank half a jar.
In November and February, the man was wearing only one jacket. Yang Lin couldn't bear it, so he took off his cloak and tied it to him, and handed the remaining half to him: "Good man, who are you from, what do you call me?"
The man tore off the chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, and replied while chewing it: "I am from Qinzhou. My father's family takes mountain as his surname and has no name."
Yang Lin, a man from Qinzhou's surname, turned his mind. He remembered that it seemed that Shan Shiqi was from Qinzhou. When he looked at the man's eyes, he thought that there was something to dodge. He thought that this was the general of Tian Hu. After the Tian family was destroyed, the original people fell and the money scattered. Unexpectedly, he actually ran here to rob.
Yang Lin stood up and paced, thinking that he was thinking about something. The man surnamed Shan thought he had covered him, so he continued to eat and drink.
"Shan Shiqi!" Yang Lin suddenly called out this name while he had a big sip of wine.
The man surnamed Shan was shocked and sniffed. Most of the wine he drank was choking out of his mouth and his nose, causing tears and snot to cough out, which was so embarrassing.
Shi Jin alertly raised his spear and pointed it at the man, and the followers behind Yang Lin also pulled out their waists and turned alert.
Yang Lin raised his hand to stop them, then squatted beside the man surnamed Shan and wiped the stains on his face with his sleeve: "General Shan, don't be surprised, we are not a member of the government, so it will not harm you."
Shan Shiqi sighed heavily: "I didn't expect that someone could see Shan's appearance." After that, he started drinking wine.
After Tian Bao's death, Tian Biao took Zang Tong Mei, Tuo Zhao and others to escape to the depths of the Taihang Mountains; most of them, including Niu Wenzhong, Li Tianci, Wulidean, Liu Kerang, An Shirong, Yu Yulin, etc., surrendered to the court; Chu Heng defeated Dong Ping because of the large number of officers and soldiers of the court, and was resentful, and was executed shortly after being captured.
Shan Shiqi had a good relationship with Chu Heng, so he naturally refused to join the court. However, he and Tian Hu had a wealthy family. After Tian Hu became a general because of his ability, he had never done any business of robbing the road. In the past few months, the mountains and hills of Hedong were either destroyed or taken over. The family had been raided by the court, and he was unwilling to join Tian Biao, so he had no choice but to go south.
Before crossing the Yellow River, he had hunger and fullness for dozens of days. After crossing the Yellow River that day, he passed by a temple and saw many young men and grandpas going to burn incense. So he wanted to go and ask for a vegetarian meal to cushion and keep his stomach up, but he almost ruined his life.
Shan Shiqi came to the mountain gate to ask for a meal, but the door saw that he was ragged and didn't teach him to go in, and he used a broom stick to drive him away. In anger, Shan Shiqi, who had a temper, hit several doors and smashed the stone statue in front of the temple gate. After forcibly entering, he injured and blocked more than a dozen monks who blocked him. Unexpectedly, there were two wise characters at this time. Shan Shiqi was no match for him at all. If he hadn't been his rough skin and hard bones, he would almost have been unable to escape.
Hearing this, Yang Lin became interested: "Why is the temple named after the mountain?"
Shan Shiqi recalled: "It seems to be called 'Car Temple'."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Yang Lin laughed: "It's your mountain man who is so good at this, that's not a serious Buddhist temple at all. I heard the rumors that the monks in that temple are either killing robbers or robbing people, or they don't avoid meat and romantic seeds. Rich people go there to have fun. It would be strange if you dress up as a beggar, and it would be strange if others don't throw you out."
The mountain man was so dark that he wanted to say it but couldn't say it. Seeing that Yang Lin teased him, he quickly explained: "You can hold on and don't hurry, follow me to Beijing to do something. I will go with you to tear the dirt bird temple and vent your anger for you."
At this time, Shan Shiqi became even more confused: "Sir, it's true that he is not a merchant."
Yang Lin and Shi Jin looked at each other, and Shan Shiqi said again: "The villain is a rough man. Now he is desperate and wants a place to settle down. But the gentleman does not want to be open to the villain, and the villain dares not follow the gentleman."
Shi Jin looked at Yang Lin's face, understood the sign, and said clearly: "Has Shan Zhuang Shi heard of Yang Zaixing's Daming?"
This name is very famous for Shan Shiqi. Why? I remember that under Tian Hu, he was the most dissatisfied with the new prince-consort of the court, the youngest martial arts top scholar. He always yelled to be at odds with Yang Lin, but later the boss was defeated by the court, and he never had such a chance again.
Thinking of this, I felt that Shi Jin, who had just fought with him, was just a slap under the mud. So the mountain man leaned over and knelt down, and since then he followed Ding Yang Lin, no longer talking.
This time, Yang Lin went to Beijing to mourn for Wang Jin. He was going to hurry on his way, but now he met Shan Shiqi and missed a lot of time. Going further to Gong County, it was probably closed. Yang Lin simply decided to rest for a while, and then go overnight, and he could arrive in Tokyo before nightfall the next day.
The Waguan Temple is so rampant, but there is no government stopping it. At this time, Mr. Zongze went to Hebei for inspection, and Zhao Ding moved to Kaifeng to become a scholar. Bao Dezhong was the chief of the Henan Prefecture for the criminal prison. His status was not low. The activities in this temple must have been a day and a night. Why didn't he do anything? Even if the arrest and investigation and the purge of public security are not directly under his jurisdiction, then he would not be in his position and not do anything.
With doubts, Yang Lin had to go to Tokyo first. It happened that Kaiyuan Gate outside the Bian River was closing. Yang Lin, Shi Jin, Shan Shiqi and the few servants who drove the car used some money and the city gate officials, and exempted the inspection, so they all entered the city.
When they arrived at Wang Jin's mansion, Yang Quanfu and Yang Quanzhong, the two brothers, had already prepared Wang Jin's coffin to be used, and the mourning hall was also built very well. Seeing the white white flowers in the yard, they remembered Wang Jin's careful teachings to him. Yang Lin and Shi Jin felt sad and both knelt in front of Wang Jin's coffin, and the man's tears rolled down his clothes.
When Yang Quanzhong recognized Yang Lin first in front of the gate, he hurriedly asked Yang Yiquan to go back to Tianbo Mansion to report to the head of the family, and asked the trusted servants to seize the door.
Although the servants were shocked by Yang Lin's "resurrection from the dead" and knew that the head of the family had expelled him from the Yang family before he was "lived", they were still very respectful to Yang Lin, the young master.
Seeing Yang Quanfu with gray hair, Yang Quanzhong and a servant in plain clothes, Yang Lin felt even more sad: "After I left home, you have suffered a lot. Yang Lin apologized to you here."
The two old men didn't say much, and one of the younger men choked and said, "The young master is not here, it's a pain for the master, the old lady."
Yang Quanfu was stunned and scolded him. The man named Yang Qing, who had just passed the seventeenth place, was Yang Quanfu's only grandson. When Yang Lin got married, it seemed that he was the brazier he brought to the bride at the door of the mansion.
"What happened at home? Tell me quickly." Yang Lin's mood began to fluctuate after hearing this.
Yang Qing stared at his grandfather, then looked at Yang Lin recklessly: "After the young master left, the court confiscated all our fields and shops, and the old master was resigned from his official position and had no salary. The family lost income, and dozens of people were all food, clothing and expenses, and the old master was afraid of starving everyone to death, so he dismissed many people, and the settlement fee distributed almost emptied all his savings. We were unwilling to leave, and because we were in the Yang Mansion, we could not go out to find work. So we had to plant some vegetables ourselves in the yard of the mansion, and live a life with a few old ladies selling some jewelry."
What? How is this possible? Less than a year after I left Tokyo, my family became so desolate? What are the two guys Ma Ling and Shi Xiu doing? How dare you not report such important news? When I finish my work, I will see how they explain it.
At the middle of the hour of Hai, Shi Jin continued to guard the spirit, while Yang Lin changed into a night-dressing dress. He wanted to sneak back to Tianbo Mansion to see what happened.
According to the agreement during the day, Yang Qing was guarding the back door and opening the door for Yang Lin. After entering, Yang Qing told him that the old master had a poor sleep recently and was prone to wake up, so don't quarrel about him.
The housekeepers and girls in the mansion are missing, and the hazy moonlight shines on the clean bluestone slabs, making the huge Tianbo Mansion look even more deserted and empty at night.
"Where will my dad rest tonight?"
Yang Qing replied: "Tonight is with the second wife."
This happened to be the right way. Yang Lin did not go to see Yang Bangyi for now, so he went directly to his mother's house.
Zhao Yuenu was actually not asleep. When she heard the sound of soft footsteps in the yard outside, she put on her coat and sat up.
Yang Lin gently pushed open the door, took the candlestick and walked in.
“Who is there?”
Hearing his mother's voice, Yang Lin felt sad. After illuminating the oil lamp in the room, he knelt in front of Zhao Yuenu in a broken step: "The child is unfilial, and my mother suffers."
Just as Yang Lin and Zhao Yuenu hugged each other in tears, a narrow door in Tianbo Mansion was opened from inside, and a black shadow disappeared into the vast night.
