On the altar, Bosi Luo put his hands together and recited scriptures.
Around Bosiluo, there were ascetics like him, and some people who didn't know what they were chanting.
No one does the decapitation business, but some people do the profitable decapitation business.
It's good, let alone fake monks, even if they are fake, there are still people who do it.
However, Basiluo is a real ascetic. Just as there must be darkness where there is light, it is darkness that may bring out the value of light.
When he first heard that Lu Bu, the Great Protector of the Western Regions, was going to hold the Bon Bon Dharma Ceremony, Bosiluo was very happy.
As a Bosiluo who came to the Western Regions to spread Buddhism in the early years, the Han people were somewhat unfamiliar to him. These Han people suddenly emerged and replaced Kushan as the new force controlling the Western Regions.
In Bosiluo's view, these Han people are actually no different from the Kushan people. They are the same nouveau riche. They pursue luxury and splendor in everything. So when Bosiluo learned that it was Lu Bu, the Han's Protector of the Western Regions,
When the ceremony was about to be held, he came happily. He believed that only by changing the minds of the leaders in this area can this land full of killing and destruction, yellow sand and blood be truly restored.
Peaceful.
Bosluo had met Kushan people and Parthian people, and he had also met many other Semu people. He felt that the language barrier was not a big problem, because after getting along for a long time, they would naturally understand each other, so it was difficult to
The difficulty lies in how to get along with each other. He came to the Western Regions to help farmers work, help drive carts and push carts, and did all the good things he could. On the one hand, it was for spiritual practice, and on the other hand, he also hoped that through his small kindness, he could expand to
Big Love.
When he saw Lu Bu for the first time, Bosi Luo felt the pressure caused by Lu Bu's height that was beyond the normal human body. Under the shining armor, it looked like a moving beast. Only then did Bosi Luo understand that there was something wrong with Lu Bu.
There are so many rumors about Lu Bu's evil reputation among the people in the Western Regions, and they are not groundless.
At that time, Bosiluo was scared, but also happy, because he felt that he finally had the opportunity to preach Buddhism to Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu could be inspired by Buddhism, escape from the Asura path, and save thousands of people in the Western Regions from suffering.
Therefore, no matter how unreasonable or inappropriate the process of the ceremony made by Wei Xu was, Bosi Luo did not care too much. On the one hand, his Chinese was not very good, and on the other hand, he felt that
This is just the beginning. There is no need to be too demanding. Buddhism is more important than the external form.
But what Bosiluo didn't expect was that this was indeed the beginning and the end.
A strong wind blew over the altar.
Flags and flames are fluttering and making a hunting sound.
Originally thought it was a perfect and grand day, because the Great Protector of the Western Regions took off his armor and put on ordinary clothes. Bosi Luo thought this was the best start, but when the soldiers rushed to the altar,
Everything has changed.
Bosiluo was being escorted and walking forward, he was at a loss.
What happened?
The soldiers arrested these monks and beat and kicked them.
The originally rich and colorful robe was taken off, revealing the body inside, just like the Buddha statue suddenly lost its luster, revealing the clay and straw inside.
Dazed and helpless, Bosi Luo was driven and beaten from the top of the altar to the bottom of the altar, just like going from the bliss of the west to the agony of the east. It seemed that soldiers were beating him with sword scabbards or gun barrels.
body, but he didn't seem to feel any sound or much pain, because he was numb. The sudden change caused his brain to almost shut down and he was unable to accept everything from the outside world, making him doubt whether he was
Still dreaming, then you can blink and wake up again.
Blinking was useless. As the Han soldiers shouted orders, Bosi Luo's vision swayed for a moment, then lowered. The earth came towards him and hit his nose and cheek. The pain finally entered his brain along the nerves.
Dealing with the stack made him realize that this was not a dream, and then he heard the noise around him, which was so loud that his eardrums rang!
The Han Protector waved his hands, clenched his fists, his anger was as strong as real, and his voice was as loud as thunder, "Brothers of the Han Dynasty, do you know what these people in front of you are?!"
"They are Kushan spies!"
"They deceived us. They told us they wanted peace, but at the same time they were waging war against us!"
"They joined forces with horse thieves, looted everywhere, destroyed military camps, and massacred people!"
"Then they actually said that this is spiritual practice and this is merit!"
"This is bullshit practice!"
"The merits of farts!"
Amid the roar, the Han guard angrily pulled out the sword from the waist of the guard on the side, walked up to a kneeling monk, and then chopped him off with one blow!
The bright red color dyed the sky red.
Blood and fire rise!
"..." Bosi Luo opened his mouth and shouted something, but not only he could not hear what he was shouting, but also the people around him could not hear clearly.
Because there was a lot of noise all around, there seemed to be countless people shouting.
Bosi Luo looked around. He subconsciously wanted to find someone to prove that he was not a spy. But the crowd was shaking, the flames were rising, and the blood was smeared. He couldn't find it, and he couldn't see clearly.
Someone took advantage of the gap and rushed to Lu Bu's side, seeming to be crying for something or begging for mercy. However, unexpectedly, the man's crying and begging for mercy made Lu Bu even more angry. He roared and chopped the man to death with a knife!
"How dare you bully someone!"
"Pretending to be a monk! Someone knows! These monks are fake! Fake!"
"They are not monks, they are Kushan dogs! They are dogs!"
"Kill them! Kill them all!"
The bloody sword was raised.
People around him fell down one by one.
"Since they are dogs, since they have reminded us, since they really want war, then let's fight in an upright manner! Today, let these spies and traitors from Kushan go out and sacrifice the flag for us!"
"No, no war!" Bosi Luo burst out with astonishing strength. He struggled, and the soldiers behind him were unable to hold him for a while, allowing him to rush to Lu Bu. "No war! War..."
』
But before Bosi Luo could finish speaking, Lu Bu directly grabbed his head with one hand, smashed him to the ground, and then kicked him back with a flying kick, rushing towards him.
He looked at the soldier and cursed angrily, "Trash! You can't even hold him! If you can't hold him anymore, you go to sacrifice the flag with these guys!"
The soldier responded loudly, then raised the scabbard fiercely and hit Bosi Luo on the back of the head.
Blood spurted out, and before falling into the boundless darkness, Bosi Luo only heard the sound of his own skull breaking, and the roar like a ferocious beast, "The big man is victorious!!"
"We are going to war!!"
"Wonderful victory!"
"Go to war!!"
……━((*′д｀)yao(′д｀*))━!!!!……
Countless people were swaying and dispersed in panic.
War, war!
The war is about to begin again!
The people of Xihai who happily came to participate in some Dharma ceremony are now running home in panic.
I don’t know if the rice at home is enough, I don’t know if Zhuang He in the field will still plant, and I don’t know if the cattle and sheep outside will be killed. I don’t know if I can survive tomorrow...
Amid the loud cheers of the soldiers, the people of Xihai City panicked and left one after another. Fortunately, this was the outskirts of the city and was relatively open, so there was no stampede.
In the hearts of these people in the West Sea, they did not share the same hatred as Lu Bu expected.
These are people who migrated from Heluo, Longyou, Jingzhou, Shandong, and from places where wars have occurred before. They have no joy in the war, only disgust.
Perhaps only those who have never experienced war, and those who can benefit from war, are full of expectations for war, but most people who have experienced it, or have been traumatized by war, are
Lu Bu hated war, even though he claimed that he wanted to eliminate spies, protect his family and country, and stabilize the place.
Among the flustered crowds, some thin and childish voices sounded.
"Mom, why do we have to go home? Didn't we say you can eat meat?"
"What a fool! There's no meat to eat! Didn't you listen to what the officials said, there's going to be a war!"
"o(╥﹏╥)ooo... Isn't it good to eat meat? I want to eat meat."
"Be good, go home and eat steamed buns."
"Mom, can I eat white steamed buns..."
"no!"
"Why? I remember I could eat white steamed buns before... We haven't had white steamed buns for a long time..."
"Hey, white steamed buns are expensive. They used to cost two white steamed buns for one dollar, but now they cost two dollars each! Your parents only earn so much money, they can't afford it..."
"Why? Why are white steamed buns so expensive?"
"That's not going to be a war! That official said there's going to be a war!"
"Then...why does that high official want to fight?"
"He, he said, those people are spies... they are bad people, they want to cause destruction, they want to harm us..."
"But, but... But if they didn't come, wouldn't we also be unable to eat the white steamed buns?"
"Those are bad people. Do bad people know? Good people want to fight bad people. We are good people."
"Good people...good people don't have a lot of money..."
"Why do you remember white steamed buns?!"
"But I recognize that there is an uncle among the people who were arrested. He is a good person. Last time he was..."
"Shh! Shut up! If the official says that uncle is a bad person, then he is a bad person! Otherwise we will be in trouble! We will become bad people! Do you understand?"
The childish voice paused for a long time, and then answered in a low voice, "Oh..."
……(～￣(OO)￣)ブ……
There was a lot of excitement in the palace of the Metropolitan Protector.
"What? The Great Protector is going on an expedition?"
"Nonsense! Didn't you see that I'm busy? Hurry, come and help!"
Most of the petty officials in the Protector's Office were so busy that their heels hit the back of their heads.
Going on an expedition is more than just saying two words.
When the protector gave the order, all the officials were in a hurry.
How about saying that the leader farts and the subordinates run away and break their legs?
If you want to go to war, no matter how urgent it is, you must prepare some food and grass, otherwise it is not called a war. Without food and grass, it is called a death squad. Whether you can go out, whether you can come back is another matter, once or twice, or
A small-scale expedition is fine, but a large-scale expedition would require all three armies to act as death squads...
At least Lu Bu did not have this kind of commanding power. Even if he had it among the Han army, he would not be able to use it among the Hu people's vassal soldiers.
Most of the guardians are in a hurry, so many things must be urgent.
Once you get anxious, various problems will inevitably arise.
Things that could be done slowly in the past suddenly became impossible.
To put it simply, the accounts and physical objects do not match up.
Looking at some of the warehouses that were even empty, looking at the shivering clerks in charge of the warehouses, the officials responsible for preparing logistics supplies, they just felt so congested that they wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood but couldn't, because they were also stealing supplies.
One of them was the one who laughed out loud when he received the filial piety money. He also thought that selling some extra supplies was no big deal...
Who could have imagined that something like this would happen?!
Who would have thought that Lu Bu, a big boss, would fight whenever he said so?
Can you stop being so willful?
But when Lu Bu was angry, no one dared to fart more. They even had to tuck their tails and place them carefully between their buttocks.
All we can do is think of ways and various ways.
In order to make up for various empty accounts, specific items had to be allocated to the military camps and schools and distributed to the soldiers who were preparing to go out. These civil servants were almost crazy because of their busy schedule.
The fire dragon burned the warehouse? The Yin soldiers borrowed food?
Now we are not checking accounts, we are going to war!
The audit only deals with one or two people, and the time is not one or two days, and now Lu Bu is going on an expedition. If there is a slight delay, he doesn't mind staining the dark red battle flag with more blood!
Fortunately, these civil servants usually demolished the east wall to repair the west wall, and they immediately had a lot of temporary remedies. Anyway, they had to prepare the first wave of supplies so that Lu Bu could start the project smoothly, and the rest of the things would slowly follow.
Just go and move around.
"All supplies that were originally scheduled to be sent to merchants have been postponed!"
"Cut off the road! Close traffic! Prohibit all caravans from passing, and purchase all their supplies!"
"Now, no matter whether it is the fault of my predecessor or not, whoever has the deficit in his account will make up for it! Those who cannot make up the loss will be dismissed from their posts! Their homes will be confiscated! Even if they sell their sons and daughters, they still have to make up the account for me!"
"Quick, quick! The first batch of supplies must be delivered to the school at 10 o'clock tomorrow! Swords, guns, arrows, armor and food! Please confirm the number again!"
"If you don't have it, just prepare it! Don't worry about how old the grain is! Now just worry about the quantity! Do you understand the quantity?!"
Dozens of clerks were running back and forth, their crowns on their heads tilted, their robes loose, their faces stained with sweat, and their faces stained with mud and dirt.
Think about it, day after day, month after month, so many empty accounts have been eaten up. Of course, it is impossible to make up for it all at once. The only way is to deal with the first wave first, and the rest is to wait.
The rest is left to find a solution. In order to make up for the empty debt, the officials even borrowed loan sharks at usury!
On weekdays, officials who are always in a position of superiority personally go to local businesses...er, large merchants, nodding and bowing to express that they are in financial difficulty and need support...
Of course, if the big merchants are not wise, these officials will immediately change their faces after leaving the house. They will be accused of being collaborators, and then they will add a DEBUFF to the whole family of the big merchants and take them away in a wave.
The civil servants who were running around were distressed to death, but for most of the soldiers in the military academy, they were very excited.
Finally a chance to make money!
As soon as the cannon fired, uh, as soon as the sword and gun flashed, there was a thousand taels of gold!
Those happy days when Lu Bu conquered the Western Regions were repeated from time to time by some of the soldiers in the military academy, like Xianglin's wife, who was mentioned again and again among the soldiers. During the process of conquering the Western Regions, those Western Regions who were on the wrong side for a while
The wealth accumulated by several or more generations of tribesmen and tribes has built up Xihai City, and has deeply left its memories in the memories of these soldiers.
If you haven't seen them before, that's fine. If you have seen them before, and you know the benefits of money, these soldiers are like eating meat. How can they eat vegetarian food?
"That gold, so golden!"
"That silver is so bright!"
"How stupid I was to not take more! How stupid! Every time I think about it now, I feel so damn stupid!"
"At that time, I still listened to military orders and thought it was right to be a soldier without making money, and to make money without being a soldier. What happened?! Those fucking money was taken away by those civil servants! Are you angry?"
"Those civil servants are all liars! They deceived us into not getting money, but they ended up desperately trying to make money!"
"Look at these days, those civil servants are making money everywhere! Even if I want to get a new fucking shirt, I have to give those guys money first! It's because I've worn it out and can't wear it anymore.
When I went to exchange it, I had to give them money first! Don’t even try to exchange it without giving me money! This shirt doesn’t belong to them, so it seems like everything has become their private property! It’s up to you to exchange it.
Look! Who am I serving as a soldier for? Are I serving as a soldier for these damn weak civil servants?!"
"Damn it! Look at my armor, these three armor plates are missing. They have been missing for a year! I applied for it at the end of last year, but now, I am still talking about the process.
Just let me wait! I’ve asked all the damn questions! You don’t have to go through any bullshit process to pay, just get it directly!”
"Isn't it just about making money? Who doesn't know how to do this?"
"This time, no matter what, I have to get enough!"
"Think about it, isn't the purpose of being a soldier just to make money? Why can those civil servants think of all kinds of ways to make money, but we military soldiers can only live a miserable life? What a pity! Daduhu finally figured it out.
Now, it’s time to make money!』
"Horse thief?"
"Horse thieves are nothing!"
"Making money is serious!"
"Among the countries in the Western Region, if they are said to be collaborators with thieves, they are collaborators, and if they are said to be spies, they are spies!"
"Those countries in the Western Regions, this time, if they don't have ten thousand taels, no, twenty thousand taels, no, one hundred thousand taels, don't even think about returning alive!"
"Oh my God! Our happy time is about to come! Everyone, prepare your money bags! Follow Daduhu to make money, uh, go to war!"
