In the past, Zhao Taizu defeated Jiuzhou with his stick and conquered the mountains and rivers with his fist. He was now invincible in the world and dared to go to the nine heavens to fight with immortals.
Under his leadership, the Zongren Mansion and Qin Tian Jian naturally had numerous talented people. Hundreds of ships competed for the crossing, and there were countless masters.
It was the epitome and essence of an era, bound by destiny. He was born to break the shackles of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms for hundreds of years and establish a unified dynasty.
Now, when time comes, heaven and earth all work together, and the heroes are not free.
The luck of the Dasong Dynasty has begun to decline. The most obvious manifestation is that there are fewer and fewer talents. With fewer talents, there will naturally be fewer masters.
After one ebb and flow, the central imperial power declined, the Buddhist and Taoist families rose up, and without the threat of force, the aristocratic families also began to harbor evil intentions.
Take the simplest example.
When the Dasong Dynasty was first established, there were designated demon kings guarding various places. These demon kings alone could stop the demons from causing chaos in various places.
Now, where can I hear news about these demon kings? The land of the prefecture and county is not bad, and it is protected by the destiny of the dynasty.
The villages and towns below worship Taoism instead of Buddha, and some even directly worship demons, offering blood and food to protect themselves.
Zhang Heng knows history and uses history as a mirror.
The subversion and chaos of the dynasty mostly came from the bottom up. Although the imperial power did not go to the countryside, the towns and villages were the largest base.
The quality of a dynasty can be known by looking at its towns and villages, whether ancient or modern, they are all the same.
In the villages and towns of the Dasong Dynasty, every family hid their weapons and did not go out at night.
It can be seen from this that the dominance of the dynasty is nothing more than a joke now, and the weakness of the Osomatsu royal family is obvious.
...
time flies.
Fu Tianchou and Qinggong were secretive all day long, not knowing what they were plotting.
Zhang Heng didn't care. His goal was to save Cihang, and other things had little to do with him.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
This morning, Zhang Heng just woke up from his dream and heard a knock on the door outside.
Open the door and take a look.
Standing outside the door was a tall man with a beard and a sword case on his back. Who else could it be if he wasn't Yan Chixia?
"Master Yan!"
Farewell for many days.
Zhang Heng was very happy to see Yan Chixia again: "It's been more than half a year since we last saw each other."
"Was it that long?"
Yan Chixia can no longer remember. Heroes despise farewells but attach great importance to kindness.
As a world-famous swordsman, Yan Chixia has long been accustomed to seeing and seeing each other. A year and a half is no different from three or five days.
"Why not? It wasn't autumn yet when you left, and now it's early summer of the second year, more than half a year."
Zhang Heng invited Yan Chixia into the courtyard and asked him: "When you left, you said you were going to Hangzhou to find the two snake spirits. Did you find them?"
Yan Chixia sat on a chair in the courtyard and sighed: "I found it after looking for it, but the two snake spirits are a little different from what I thought."
He paused slightly and then said: "I came to see them to see if they were causing trouble. If so, I would get rid of them and use their demon pills to make wine. But when I saw them, I discovered that these two snake spirits were
What a good monster. Every day, I help people get medicines and see doctors, help neighbors, treat illnesses and save people, no matter what I do."
Yan Chixia and Fahai are different.
He is more sensible and rarely kills people. As long as he does not do evil, he will turn a blind eye to monsters and monsters.
"That's strange to say."
Yan Chixia remembered something interesting and laughed with Zhang Heng: "The white snake who has been practicing cultivation for thousands of years seems to have fallen in love with her. When I observed her, I found that she fell in love with a teacher named Xu Xian and wanted to cultivate with him."
It’s the right result.”
"Xu Xian!"
Zhang Heng's face was full of smiles.
Fahai was already instigated by him to investigate the Buddhist conspiracy.
Without Fahai who can beat the mandarin ducks, there will naturally be no water in the West Lake. It is not surprising that My Tears, Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian can achieve righteousness again.
It's just that the current world is not so good.
After Pudu Cihang became the national preceptor, besides devouring the fortune of the dynasty, he did not do anything idle.
I heard from Laowa that Pudu Cihang is gathering demons from all over the world and is on the verge of becoming the king of demons.
Bai Suzhen has been practicing for thousands of years and is so active now, so there is no way she will be targeted by him.
"One more thing."
Yan Chixia said with a slight hesitation: "Shaoguan Nanhua Temple, Zhejiang Putuo Temple, Jiangsu Tianning Temple, Hangzhou Dafo Temple, these four Jiangnan temples have been closed down one after another for some unknown reason. This matter is strange. I have inquired in many ways, but nothing has been done.
Understand what's going on."
"Is there such a thing?"
Zhang Heng instantly thought of Fahai.
Fahai is investigating various Buddhist temples. The sudden closure of these four temples has reason to suspect that he has something to do with it.
Otherwise, what is the meaning of not closing the mountain early, not closing the mountain late, but closing the mountain recently?
You must know that the catastrophe planned by Buddhism is about to start, and the closure of the mountain is a critical moment. Unless the mountain has to be closed, who will miss the opportunity to pick peaches.
"Do you know something?"
Noticing Zhang Heng's expression, Yan Chixia became energetic.
"Well..."
Zhang Heng thought for a while and then talked about Fahai and Jinshan Temple.
"Jinshan Temple Fahai!"
Yan Chixia had obviously heard of Fahai.
But I have never seen or dealt with him, so he muttered: "This Fa Hai is known as Arhat in the world, and he is very sought after by people in Buddhism. There are even Buddhist elders who want to worship at his feet and practice with him in order to be taken care of.
, it makes sense if it’s his words.”
Cultivation is difficult.
Everyone wants to ascend, but only a few actually ascend.
Fa Hai is a reincarnated Arhat recognized by Buddhism. He came to the human world to experience and is destined to ascend again in the future.
If you practice with such people, your chances of ascending will be greatly increased.
If before, there was only a 10% chance of ascending to heaven, after following Fa Hai, the chance would be 30%.
Even though it is only an increase of 20%, which seems very inconspicuous, it is like extra points for the college entrance examination, adding 20% to the total score, which is already very exaggerated.
"Fa Hai is an upright man, with the image of a vajra with angry eyes, unable to see the suffering in the world."
"If he finds out that Nanhua Temple, Putuo Temple, Tianning Temple, and the Great Buddha Temple are conniving with demons, cultivating Buddhist soldiers, and trying to cause chaos, there is no way he will really take action."
Zhang Heng paused slightly: "But having said that, although Fa Hai is powerful, his years of cultivation are a bit short after all. He should not be thirty years old this year. He is far from being invincible in the world. If he really does this
Yeah, I’m afraid, his current situation won’t be good either.”
Reproduce the style of the Southern Dynasties and create a paradise of Buddhism.
Wutai Mountain, White Horse Temple, and Xiangguo Temple took the lead, and other temples laid out the overall plan for a hundred years.
Although Fahai has a great reputation, Jinshan Temple has little momentum and cannot be the leader of Buddhism. There are also many monks who don't care about him.
Now he has taken action one after another, causing several major temples that support the Buddhist paradise to close their doors. Not to mention the distance, Wutai Mountain, which has the inheritance of Manjushri Bodhisattva, must be very dissatisfied with him.
Everyone is a descendant of the four great Bodhisattvas.
You, Jinshan Temple, have inherited the lineage of Ksitigarbha, and I, Mount Wutai, have inherited the lineage of Manjusri.
It's okay if you don't help me, but you come to cause trouble. I'll give you the face of a reincarnated Arhat, who will give it to me?
"possible."
Yan Chixia also became serious: "On Wutai Mountain, there are eminent monks of the Bei generation who are hiding in the world. These eminent monks were famous fifty years ago. Now they are sitting in the mountains, looking at the world from a distance. Every move in Buddhism is under their instruction.
We will never let Fahai do whatever he wants."
Speaking of which.
Yan Chixia evaded the excuse that she had something to do and left in a hurry.
Although he didn't say what he was going to do, Zhang Heng knew that he was going for Fahai.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Buddhist eminent monks like Fahai are not to be feared because he has no evil intentions and even knows very well that people in Buddhism do not care about childbirth and that the Buddhist kingdom on earth is not advisable in the human world.
Since everyone has become a monk, who will have children and cultivate the mulberry fields?
In the legendary Buddhist Kingdom of the West, there is no birth or death, people can eat dew from the sky, enjoy good health, and everyone is very happy.
But the human world is not good, you have to eat and wear clothes.
Before Dasong, there were the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which lasted only a few hundred years, not that long ago.
There are traces of what Nanliang was like back then. So it was not a Buddhist country, it was clearly a demonic cave.
Each household must support one monk.
The monks were so arrogant that they even had a nickname called Night Alms.
Others may miss those times, but Fa Hai will not.
His philosophy is very clear: a monster is a monster and a mistake is a mistake.
The scenery in Nanliang is to destroy the Buddha, not to praise it.
Returning to the scene of Nanliang, Buddhism is not far away from destruction.
Another three days.
As soon as Yan Chixia left, we lost contact again.
Zhang Heng was also used to it. His big beard was like a butterfly flying around, coming and going without a trace. He couldn't tell when he would disappear, and then he would pop up again after a while.
To paraphrase a song by Wu Bai, the theme is: ‘Sudden Self’.
Two more days.
Zhang Heng was invited to drink by Laowa.
After not seeing each other for ten days, when we saw him again, Laowa's face was glowing, as if he was happy.
Just ask.
It turned out that some generals in the Forbidden Army had agreed to side with the imperial party.
There is also another joy.
Fu Tianchou also responded to the letter he wrote to the Confucian scholar from a poor family.
Today I invite Zhang Heng to drink with me, and I invite him to accompany me. The person accompanying me is the famous and erudite scholar Zhuge Wolong.
"Zhuge Wolong!"
"Is he also from a poor family?"
Zhang Heng was slightly confused.
"Of course not."
Fu Tianchou replied: "This man was born in the Zhuge family and was the elder brother of the contemporary Qin Tian Jian Zheng. However, his ideas were not in line with those of the family. Later, for some unknown reason, he left home in anger and was expelled from the clan himself.
, otherwise, the current position of the head of the Zhuge family and the supervisor of Qintian should be his."
"That's it!"
Zhang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.
The erudite man Zhuge Wolong is a supporting character in A Chinese Ghost Story 2.
It was precisely because Ning Caichen took his belt and was considered to be Zhuge Wolong that he gained the recognition of Fu Qingfeng and his party who were about to rob the execution ground.
Now.
Ning Caichen married the daughter of the frog god and did not participate in the plot.
Fu Tianchou was also rescued by Zhang Heng, and Fu Qingfeng and his party no longer had to rob the execution ground.
Naturally, Zhuge Wolong never had a chance to appear. Unexpectedly, after going round and round, this old guy appeared again.
"Is he reliable?"
Zhang Heng asked again.
"It should be reliable. Zhuge Wolong often compares himself with Zhuge Liang, the ancestor of the Zhuge family. He wants to help the country and rebuild the world."
"Perhaps it was precisely because he opposed the Zhuge family's harboring evil intentions and led the Qintian Supervisor to sit on the sidelines and did nothing that he turned against the family."
"I came out to help us this time because I hope to reorganize the Zhuge family and bring order to the chaos."
"If such character and belief are unreliable, then no one else can be reliable."
Fu Tianchou seemed to have great trust in Zhuge Wolong.
But Zhang Heng thought about it and felt something was wrong.
The Zhuge family is famous for being good at protecting themselves, which can be seen from the fact that the family served the Three Kingdoms.
Now, the head of the Zhuge family intends to carve up the world and re-establish a dynasty.
Zhuge Wolong, a direct descendant of the family and the brother of the current head of the family, stood on their side as an abandoned son of the family, hoping to help the country and protect the Zhao family.
Huh!
Isn't this like the Three Kingdoms period again, where one family serves two masters?
No matter which side wins, the Zhuge family will remain standing.
Is this really a desire to help the country, or is it a way for a wealthy family to survive?
Zhang Heng doesn’t know.
He only knows that no matter who wins or loses, the Zhuge family will never fall.
During the banquet.
Zhang Heng met Zhuge Wolong.
He looks to be in his fifties, with gray hair and bright eyes.
Moreover, his Confucian cultivation has reached the point where he has returned to his original nature and seems to be an ordinary person. Zhang Heng can't even sense the awe-inspiring meaning from him, as if he is really an ordinary old man.
"Zhuge Daru, this is Zhang Heng, Zhenren Zhang."
As the host, Laowa introduced Zhang Heng to Zhuge Wolong.
Never thought about it.
Zhuge Wolong had heard of Zhang Heng a long time ago and said with a smile: "But Master Zhang, who killed the old monster of Black Mountain together with Master Yan?"
"Old-timers have also heard of me?"
With the great scholar at his side, Zhang Heng also gave him due respect.
"More than just heard of it."
Zhuge Wolong said frankly: "I have no other hobbies. I just like to read miscellaneous notes and write biographies. Although your origin is a mystery, you are famous in the eyes of our families. Before I came to Kaifeng Mansion, I stopped in Runan
, and some members of the Communist Party of China want me to write a biography for you."
Well...
Runan, Yuanwai.
Putting the two names together, Zhang Heng knew who Zhuge Wolong was talking about...a member of the Fang family.
When leaving.
Officer Fang was very grateful to Zhang Heng for saving him, and said that he would write a biography of Zhang Heng, including Song Dingbo, the art of transforming sheep, and himself.
It seems that he really didn't say it casually. Not long ago, he started looking for someone to write a book for him.
I don’t know if we will be able to see the Legend of Heroes with him as the protagonist at this time next year.
It's just that the words came back.
The writers of Liaozhai World are quite perfunctory in choosing the title of the book.
Yan Chixia's story of chivalry and righteousness was written down and named "The Legend of the Great Sword Hero".
This name is too tacky.
How come you have the nerve to go out and meet people with this name?
Zhang Heng felt that if he were to write a biography of him and give it a name like "The Biography of the Little Sword Hero", it would be better not to write it at all.
A little.
At the next banquet.
Zhang Heng drank and ate, listening more and talking less.
Mainly the three of them, Laowa, were chatting, and they were talking about plots to alienate people, forcing people to go to war, pulling firewood from the bottom of the cauldron, fighting against all odds, killing people, and conspiracies to deal with wealthy families.
Zhang Heng listened.
From the three people's point of view, aristocratic families are not of the same mind, and some families even have long-standing grudges, which is suitable for a divorce plan.
It only takes a little thing to cause a conflict between the younger generations of the two families, and then the conflict continues to expand, gradually turning from small to large, rising to the level of two families.
When the two families became incompetent, they contacted each other secretly and promised huge profits to force them to regain their position.
As a result, the aristocratic family, which is not monolithic in the first place, will definitely sway, and some people who are on the fence will re-examine their positions.
Um.
The feasibility is quite high. The only troublesome part is how to choose the entry point.
If you choose the right thing and make it more natural, it is like a castle made of sand. Don't worry about it not falling apart.
Think about it.
Zhang Heng thought of Fahai again.
This bald donkey is a nice guy, but I don’t know what’s going on with him now.
A fierce monk with a powerful dragon in his mouth should not be beaten to death.
