Chapter 2600 To obtain scriptures, you must have true scriptures
Some people are sad, and naturally some people are happy.
Qiao Bing is very happy now.
Because he finally received the mission from the General's Mansion.
It's his own personal mission.
For a long time before, Qiao Bing thought that he had been forgotten or abandoned, but now he was full of energy.
Qiao Bin arrived in Longxi overnight, took a short rest, and then devoted himself to work with full energy.
Because the Buddhist pilgrims in the snow area are approaching Longxi at this time and are about to enter the Sanfu area of Chang'an.
For these pilgrims, they saw a beautiful and picturesque scenery, or a painting as beautiful as a scenery.
In the faint morning light, at the end of the slanting branches stretching towards the spring, some delicate elves wearing yellow and green robes are dancing in the spring breeze.
city, street.
Shops, pedestrians.
Just like those in later generations who were tired of living in reinforced concrete and went to the wilderness with an indescribable admiration and longing, these people who traveled long distances from the snowy deserts faced the
When the towns of the Han Dynasty grew bigger and bigger, there was an inexplicable fear and admiration.
If urine and various smells are the demarcation of territory by animals in nature, then the roads and towns created by human settlement are undoubtedly humans' declaration of sovereignty over a certain area.
Big man.
This is the big man.
Reading the scriptures makes people feel excited.
This is the Han Dynasty in the minds or fantasies of these pilgrims who came from afar. When they knew that the majestic town in front of them was not the center of the Han Dynasty, but just one of the surrounding counties, the pilgrims fell silent.
, they became more and more in awe, but also more and more afraid.
The pilgrims will never forget that they walked out of the distant mountains with heavy and tired steps, and then saw a large black city wall suddenly appearing in front of them.
At that time, they felt that this city wall was extremely high, as if it was so high that it seemed to have no end, covering half of the sky. This city wall was extremely wide, as wide as a mountain range, traversing the earth.
This "huge" city outline stood so gloriously and silently between heaven and earth. While the pilgrims were ecstatic, their eyes widened and they cautiously walked to the official road and looked at the majestic city in front of them.
, looking at the crowds of people on the official road not far away, they stopped a pedestrian and asked cautiously and stammering: "Excuse me, is this...is...Chang'an, Chang'an City?"
The pedestrian laughed and pointed to the words on the city wall, "This is Jincheng! Not Chang'an!"
At that time, those who learned the scriptures realized that the big man was really big.
The Han people in Longyou are undoubtedly a bit more heroic. Unlike those in Shandong, they seem to have to wear Han robes with long sleeves to be called clothes, and they will not sneer at the sight of Hufu.
The Han people in Longyou tend to be simple and plain. Many people wear short shirts with small sleeves and flat shoes, which looks particularly neat. Occasionally, there are men with large sleeves. The cuffs are mostly rolled up and tied to the arms with ties, with their hands hanging outside the sleeves.
.
After all, Longyou is a martial artist, and his long robes and long sleeves will affect the speed of pulling out the sharp sword in the sheath on his waist.
There are also people wearing Hu costumes and felt hats who are familiar with the roads and shuttle between the restaurants and shops without being coaxed out.
In the shops and restaurants on both sides of the street, some literati or businessmen were drinking while leaning on the railings. The aroma of food and wine made the pilgrims shed tears involuntarily...
They thought the place was extremely prosperous, they thought it was like a city dominating the world, but it turned out to be just a city in Longyou and Longxi...
Of course, as the core town in Longyou and Longxi, and also the base camp of Jia Xu, it is indeed qualified to be so wealthy and prosperous.
What about Chang'an?
People who learn from scriptures dare not think about it.
According to the requirements of the Han people, the pilgrims stayed at the post station, and then took a fragrant bath for the first time, ate soft and white pasta for the first time, used delicate and exquisite red lacquerware for the first time, and
It was the first time I drank a drink that was sweet and fragrant but not harsh on my throat, and I received treatment from a Han doctor for the first time...
After the pilgrims rested and recuperated, they left Jincheng and slowly headed east.
The further east they go, the more excited the pilgrims become.
The branches are still swaying in the spring breeze.
The elves on the treetops are still dancing.
The cities of the Han people were built one after another.
The fields stretch from horizon to horizon.
Is this where the Han people live?
Isn’t this the legendary heaven of the five gods?
Then they arrived at Linwei City and saw Qiao Bing in Linwei City.
Qiao Bing appeared like the messenger of the Five Heavenly Emperors they imagined.
A touch of white clothes, as white as the clouds passing over the fairy sea.
A touch of blue, like pure water in the fairy sea.
There are also various complicated patterns outlined by gold and silver threads on the snow-white and blue, representing the symbols of the five gods, which once again shocked the hearts of these Buddhists...
They quickly knelt down and kowtowed like the surrounding believers, saying that the gods of the five directions had given them blessings.
After Qiao and his disciples arrived in Longxi, he did not go to meet them directly, but first took his disciples and disciples to perform a ritual.
Spring is gradually coming.
Spring plowing has become the most important thing for the Han people, a nation that mainly focuses on farming.
The execution ground that Qiao and his disciples and disciples conducted was, of course, to pray for the mulberry trees, report to the gods of the five directions, and pray that the five emperors would take care of the grain, and that the year would be safe, without insects or disasters...
Such Dharma meetings are naturally very popular with the public. Even people who do not believe in the five gods will be infected by such Dharma meetings, and then whisper, for example, if there is a good harvest this year,
I'm just here to make a wish or something.
Well, only in Chinese sects do the gods have some human touch and can bargain with others.
As Qiao Bing expected, pilgrims were also attracted by the large Dharma gatherings.
Qiao recalled Fei Qian's instructions to him in the Husband's office...
For the Han Dynasty, due to the limitations of the geographical environment, the snow area can never become the real enemy of the Han Dynasty.
However, there is no need for people in snowy areas to become enemies of the Han Dynasty.
The example of Fei Qianju is very simple.
The poor live in the busy city and no one cares about them, the rich live in the mountains and have distant relatives.
For now, the Han people are wealthy, while the snowy areas are barren.
Therefore, the Han Dynasty will inevitably have some "poor relatives" who come to fight against the autumn wind. They can prevent it for a while, but they cannot prevent it forever. Therefore, the Han Dynasty must have a strategy for long-term peace and stability.
The Great Wall is a way, but not a good one. Qin Shihuang can testify.
Dragon City is a strategy, but it is not a good strategy. Emperor Xiaowu can testify.
Fei Qian told Qiao that the Buddhist scripture seekers in the Snow District are an opportunity for Dahan, because the Snow District is relatively weak now, and being weaker means that there are not so many ambitions and not so much greed...
So it's the best time. If the snowy area becomes as powerful as the Huns back then, even if the big men show good intentions, they won't be able to satisfy these jackals.
Qiao Bing agreed with this point and felt that he had a heavy burden on him. Before, he thought that the General of Cavalry was neglecting him, but he did not expect that General of Cavalry was testing him.
Well, it must be a test.
"Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, tempting his heart and forbearance will benefit him in a way that he cannot..."
Qiao Bing muttered softly. Anyway, with the green smoke and fairy spirit surrounding him, no one would hear what he muttered in a low voice. Even if he just opened his mouth and recited one, two, three, four, five, it would still be considered a Dharma gathering.
The lines in the drama.
Right now, we just have to do this "big job" well!
On this point, Fei Qian did not deceive Qiao Bing.
The reason why the dry cloth strips could jump at that time is because the time period when the dry cloth strips happened to be the past of the Little Ice Age, and the entire China entered a longer warm period, which was even warmer than the Han Dynasty. The temperature
Higher, barley and wheat can be grown in areas that were originally unable to be planted in the snowy areas. The sudden increase in food has caused a large-scale increase in the population in the snowy areas. The large population has promoted the unification of the snowy areas.
Of course there are advantages and disadvantages.
As a result, after the snow area was unified, the population was still exploding, and there was no way to show that eating children for a hundred days would lead to promotion and wealth like some cult, so everyone came together to kill children, so they had no choice but to transfer the internal conflicts to the outside.
From this perspective, Li Shimin's marriage policy may have been a foolish move. The marriage strengthened Ganbu Tiao's reputation in a certain way, allowing Ganbu Tiao to suppress the dissatisfaction of the ruled tribes, and there was no such thing as the Six Kingdoms Rebellion.
Generally speaking, the dry cloth strip is transferred to the wet cloth strip smoothly.
Therefore, Fei Qian suspected that the reason why the snow area dispatched pilgrims this time was probably because the snow area also suffered from the severe weather effects of the current Little Ice Age, which caused a very serious reduction in food and caused the tribe's collapse.
turmoil……
If you are poor, you will naturally want to change.
Those who were barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes grabbed those rich people and hung them on the street lamps, and everyone shared the meat!
If you are rich, you only want to monopolize.
We must maintain the existing class gap and don't let those poor people climb up!
Basically it is like this. Just like Xuanzang left in the early Tang Dynasty. If it were in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, even if there were eminent monks who wanted to imitate Xuanzang, they probably would not have the courage.
Since it is necessary to formulate a strategy, although Fei Qian said that a new strategy should be formulated within three days, is it possible that there is really any strategy that can be decided within three days?
So Qiao Bing was dispatched. On the one hand, he was responsible for the delay, and he delayed it skillfully so that these pilgrims would not think there was any problem. On the other hand, he also wanted to find out more information. After all, there were some words about the envoys sent by Xun You. Officials, these people may not say that, but for believers who also believe in the five gods, or even the pope of the five gods, there may be no need to keep it secret...
With the addition of information from Xining and multiple channels, the possibility of Fei Qian being deceived was avoided.
After being busy at the Dharma conference for nearly a day, Qiao Bing returned to his temporary residence.
Although it is spring, the breeze outside Longyou is still quite cold at night.
It was different inside the house. It was very hot and there were some wine and snacks. It wasn't too comfortable at all.
There are no taboos in the Five Directions God Sect. There are no restrictions on meat, vegetables, spices, or even whether to kill or not kill animals. The only requirement is that individuals must practice cultivation and accumulate merit. This relatively broad requirement may allow someone to Some ascetic monks look down upon it, but for ordinary people, especially developing pan-believers, it is very easy.
But similarly, there are also drawbacks, which is that the contemporary "pope" of the five gods, at least as Qiao Xi calls himself, does not have many mysterious attributes.
Qiao is not a military commander, and he does not have many skills. In addition, without the sense of mystery, even the "Pope" as the God of the Five Directions cannot arouse any awe in people. Qiao Bing is also worried about this, so he has to do it first Yes, it will enhance the sense of mystery in front of the pilgrims.
"Have those pilgrims come to attend the meeting?" Qiao Bin was on the high platform at the time and did not fully notice the situation below the stage. He could only ask his disciples after the Dharma meeting.
"Here it comes! They are all here! You are watching carefully!" The apprentice who was responsible for paying close attention to the Buddhist scripture collectors said with excitement, "Master, you don't know, they are kneeling on the ground and kowtow, that bang..."
Qiao Bing smiled and waved his hands and said: "Don't talk about this... If you are not pious to the gods of the five directions, you will not travel long distances... By the way, I heard that Mr. Wei Shaolang is here during the day? What can I say to you?" ?』
"I came here, but when I saw the master doing the magic on the altar, I told him to come back in the evening..." The apprentice said, "I didn't say what it was about..."
When Wei Kang came, he obviously wanted to come here to get a share of the pie. Or else he came all the way from Zhangye just to see the scenery? This matter is a major political event in the spring of the seventh year of Taixing. As the son of Wei Duan, of course It's impossible not to receive any news at all.
"The barren man came from the east, my lord took advantage of it..." Qiao Bing said slowly, "This Mr. Wei Shaolang, haha... forget it, I guess it's almost time to arrive..."
While he was talking, someone reported outside the house that Wei Kang was visiting.
Qiao Bing curled his lips, then put on a calm and calm expression, asked his apprentice to greet him, and then stood at the entrance of the small courtyard to greet him.
"I've met Master Qiao Tian!" Wei Kang held his hand in greeting.
Qiao shook the fly whisk and said, "Five Directions Heavenly Lord! I have met Wei Lingchang."
Both of them were smiling.
Hand in hand, we walked into the house like good friends.
In fact, the two of them had no friendship before.
But this is the case for all political figures. Friendship is just easier to talk about when talking about things. If there is no friendship, you have to talk about it to create friendship.
Just like the current Wei Kang, he praised the previous Dharma assembly very much, saying that when he saw people standing on the altar, burning incense in the furnace, pouring water into the bowl, and burning the charms, the wind and clouds in the sky suddenly appeared, and there was a faint spirit.
The light flashed, and it turned out to be a powerful mana, which was admirable...
Qiao and Hahahahaha, while saying that he dare not, at the same time grunting in his heart, even if Wei Kang praised him to the sky, he would not speak easily.
Wei Kang had no choice but to see that Qiao did not accept this trick, so he slowly asked the key point: "I wonder if the heavenly master has come to teach me any scriptures?"
To learn from the scriptures, of course you must first have the true scriptures.
But it is not certain what the specific scripture is...
You must know that the so-called Taoist scriptures are not actually all about the "Tao" in its purest form.
After hearing Wei Kang's words, Qiao Bing understood why Wei Kang came to flatter him.
Qiao Bing smiled slightly and said: "Since the deserted people have traveled thousands of miles to ask for it devoutly, then naturally we will not accept false scriptures... The gods of the five directions have five volumes of heavenly books, corresponding to the five directions and the five emperors. As for what the deserted people can ask for.
Sutra, then it depends on whether Huangren himself is destined..."
Five volumes of the Heavenly Book of the Gods of the Five Directions?
Wei Kang raised his eyebrows.
There are many legends about this five-volume heavenly book of five directions and five emperors. Wei Kang heard about it when he was in Chang'an.
Some people say that the Book of Heaven records the will of the Five Emperors of the Five Directions transmitted to the human world. Some people say that the Book of Heaven contains the predictions of the future events of the world by prophets and sages. Some people say that the Book of Heaven itself is a magic weapon that gathers the power of the supreme gods and can be used.
Come and slay demons...
As for the more outrageous claims that the Heavenly Book is a book of immortality, as long as you write your name on it, you can be reborn and become an immortal, or that the dead can be resurrected from under the Nine Netherworld, etc., these rumors are about the gods of the five directions.
The teacher has never specifically refuted the rumors. He only said that there was a heavenly book, but kept silent about the specific details.
Wei Kang was in Chang'an at the time. Of course, there was a considerable distance between his life and these so-called heavenly books, so he didn't pay attention to these things, just like listening to a story or a joke. He didn't believe it at all.
Is there any heavenly book? Even though Qiao Bing confirmed the existence of the heavenly book in front of him, Wei Kang still doubted that this heavenly book was not the so-called book of the emperor of heaven, let alone some magical weapon that could shake the heaven and earth, but just some kind of heavenly book.
Just some ancient books.
That's right, it's me.
What is Wellcome’s core goal?
Wei Kang's goal has not changed from beginning to end. He does not want to contribute his youth, wisdom and strength to the land of Longxi. His only goal is to climb up.
Therefore, Wei Kang doesn't care at all about who is learning the scriptures, nor does he care whether Qiao Bing tells the truth or a lie. Wei Kang only wants to gain benefits from this incident to lay the foundation for his promotion.
.
What's more, since Fei Qian implemented the new "4321" county system in Longyou and Longxi, the authority of the county magistrate has been cut and divided. If it could be called a "county official" before, now it is at most one
He is just a "county magistrate", and any order he issues needs to be discussed by everyone, which is completely different from the previous system model where one county acted arbitrarily.
Under such circumstances, why would Wei Kang like to stay in the position of county magistrate for a long time?
After learning about the pilgrims, Wei Kang felt that his opportunity had come.
What can the Taoist scriptures have?
Not me yet?
As for Laozi’s Tao Te Ching, Wei Kang is familiar with it!
Isn't it just "the Tao can be Tao, but it is very Tao"?
But what kind of heavenly book did Qiao Bing talk nonsense about?
Isn't this bullying?
It's just enough to bully the illiterate Southern Wilderness people, or ordinary people, but also make fun of and pretend to be stupid in front of the dignified Guanzhong Weishi. Isn't it a bit insulting to the IQ?
After all, Wei Kang was young, and his expression immediately changed somewhat. Then he was caught by Qiao and saw it. He smiled, flicked the fly whisk, "This book from heaven is ordered by the Lord... It is definitely not an ordinary book..."
In fact, Qiao didn't know whether Fei Qian had settled or not, but this did not prevent him from deceiving Wei Kang.
As for the Book of Heaven, it is just a book that describes the origins of gods from the five directions and various miracles. Is it a Taoist scripture? It doesn't matter, but it is said to be a "Book of Heaven" with great power, or a "True Scripture", eh
…
"How can we ordinary people know the master's plans?" Qiao glanced at Wei Kang.
If Wei Duan comes, Qiao Bing will give him some face, but as for Wei Kang, he doesn't say anything and just wants Qiao Bing to help...
Haha, do you think you are being arrogant?
Wei Kang's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, what is your decree?"
Wei Kang was at a loss in his mind. Why wasn't this Qianqi given a chance?
