The fifty-fifth chapter of the fate of the machine
The army walked around in the mountains for two days. After leaving the mountain pass, they saw Qinzhou at their feet. This was Yun Ye's third time coming to Qinzhou. The first time he came, he always wanted to get a Buddha head from Maiji Mountain.
Returning home, I lost all interest in it. I gave a few simple instructions to the governor of Qinzhou, leaving behind all the pigs, sheep, wine, and singers. The army was still stationed at the foot of Maiji Mountain.
The governor of Qinzhou had already prepared fodder for the war horses, and the supplies left by the baggage team had been distributed to the soldiers. They were very rich, including dried meat and meat powder. The soldiers roasted the dried meat on the fire and ate it deliciously.
, as for the meat powder, pour it into the porridge pot, add a handful of salt, and it will be a good military delicacy.
It was obvious that Yuan Shoucheng had gained the respect of Na Rimu and Wu Shi. The old man ate the Yun family's specialty canned peaches and praised them profusely, thinking they were even more delicious than fresh peaches.
Seeing that they were chatting happily, Yun Ye was still patrolling the camp accompanied by his personal guards. These things were taught to him by Lao Niu. A long time ago, when he and Lao Niu passed by dragging the grain cart, what happened at that time?
My state of mind is very different from now. At that time, I always subconsciously wanted to avoid that wasteland. Now, I just think about how to dig out the spring and see what brought me to this chaotic place after more than a thousand years.
Tang Dynasty.
The scenery around Maiji Mountain is beautiful. The mountains are densely covered with green cypresses and pines. They are still green in the cold weather of early spring. Climbing up the hill and looking into the distance, you will see lush green mountains on all sides. You can see thousands of mountains and valleys, mountains and green pines.
Like the sea, there are clouds and mist, and the distant and near objects are intertwined, forming a beautiful picture.
"Buddha's kingdom is always in the beauty of form. Boy, entertaining people with color and beguiling people with color are not just used to describe women. Mountain scenery and water scenery are also applicable. You are a beloved son who is loved by heaven and earth, so don't have doubts about him, and don't
Feel angry that he abandoned you. There is nothing in this world that cannot be lost and nothing that cannot be gained.
It can be seen that your heart is full of anger. In the Tang Dynasty, you want wind and rain. The coldest emperor also loves you very much, and the most knowledgeable scholar also regards you as his little friend. Under such circumstances
, you are still angry, just like an abandoned orphan questioning the mother who abandoned him, forget it, the past life is like smoke, the past is like smoke, nothing will be left after the wind blows. "
Yuan Shoucheng's loose ge robe was blown by the mountain wind, but his words were clearly transmitted to Yun Ye's ears. Is this the fact that the old guy guessed based on the known conditions?
"More than ten years ago, there was a young man who saw countless Buddha statues on Maiji Mountain. He wanted to secretly knock off a Buddha head and take it home. He had a clumsy partner who was beaten as soon as he touched Niuertang.
A black-faced old monk blocked him with a stick. The old monk was very skilled in martial arts, and the two young men escaped the disaster with lies. Mr. Yuan, can you tell me whether lies can really last for a long time? "
Yuan Shoucheng coughed and said: "I prefer to listen to sincere lies. Sometimes the truth is so cruel that we can't look straight at it. So you see, this ugly mountain needs green pines and cypresses to decorate it. Then
A big river also needs water to decorate it. So, at some point, the green pines and cypresses are the lie of the mountains, and the endless flowing river is the lie of the big river. Think about it, the mountains without the lies of green pines and cypresses are the lies of the mountains.
How boring, how ugly the river would be without the lie of the water, revealing the riddled river bottom."
Yun Ye bowed deeply to Yuan Shoucheng and said sincerely: "Thank you sir! In the future, I will strive to make every word I say sincere and beautiful, and everything I do must be done to him."
Wear heavy makeup and lots of color.”
"Hahaha, you can teach me! You and I can encourage each other!" Yuan Shoucheng seemed to have discovered something very interesting. He strode down the mountain with his hands behind his back. The old guy's walking posture was so graceful.
A group of dervishes walked towards the military camp and stopped a hundred feet away. One of the dervishes walked to the front of the military camp and said to the sergeant who was walking towards him: "Please report this to the general, and tell me that I am an old friend who is waiting for an opportunity to see you."
When Yun Ye heard Bianji's arrival, he was slightly stunned, and asked the sergeant to bring Bianji over. He had never seen Bianji in Chang'an, and he didn't even see Bianji when he went to chat with Xuanzang. Unexpectedly
He is actually in Maiji Mountain now.
Yun Ye's large Chinese army tent only had a table, a chair and a tiger descending screen behind it. Liu Jinbao found two futons and threw them on the ground, adding a low table in the middle to complete the welcoming ceremony.
Prepare.
Gao Yang probably doesn't even know who Bianji is now. What does Bianji look like without the temptation of the world? Yun Ye is very curious. When he was in the Shaolin Temple, Bianji was still a little novice monk, and he was extremely handsome. Now he has grown taller.
Now that I'm older, I don't know how handsome I should be.
"The poor monk has seen the great general." A monk in black clothes held an alms bowl in his hand. His clothes were ragged, but he looked leisurely and contented. His whole body was as black as briquettes. When he smiled, he showed his big white teeth and lowered his head.
Nine ring scars on the head.
Yun Ye smiled bitterly! There was not a single monk in Chang'an who burned his ordination scars. This should have happened a long time ago, so how could he tell that it was burned now?
"What's the matter with the scar on your head? Is there something special about it?" Yun Ye planned to ask clearly.
Bianji smiled and said: "Buddhists don't have such a saying, but a poor monk read a verse of the Buddha from the Brahma Net Sutra: If you don't burn your body, arms, and fingers to make offerings to the Buddhas, you are not a monastic bodhisattva."
I also read from Volume 6 of the Surangama Sutra of the Great Buddha: "There is a bhikkhu who resolves to practice samadhi. He can light a lamp with his body, burn a finger, and put an incense stick on his body in front of the image of the Tathagata.
I say that a person’s debts without beginning will be paid in an instant.
Moreover, the Lotus Sutra = Medicine King Bodhisattva's True Works says: "All sentient beings are delighted to see the Bodhisattva burning his body and arms to make offerings to the Buddhas. Therefore, the poor monk followed the good example and made a great vow, willing to burn his body and serve the Buddha.
It was very interesting to talk to a cheerful monk. Through the conversation, Yun Ye learned that this guy Bianji had just returned from outside the Great Wall. He went to preach to the herdsmen outside the Great Wall, and received very good results. He spent a whole day on the grasslands outside the Great Wall.
I have been staying here for two years, and now I want to go to Chang'an to seek alms from the believers and build a grand temple on the grassland. I happened to be checking in at Maiji Mountain today and heard that Yun Ye's army was stationed nearby, so I came over to pay a visit.
"The herdsmen on the grassland are kind and gentle. They are very friendly when they see us. They even slaughter sheep for us to eat. How do they know that we are monks who keep the precepts and cannot go near meat and fish? They are afraid of gods, but they don't know their own
The gods are there. If they want to worship, they can only offer their contributions to the mountains and rivers."
"So you think they should build a temple for them and squat at the gate of the temple every day to collect money and cattle and sheep? This is indeed a good idea. I heard that Jianfu Temple is doing this now. If you want to burn incense, you must first see
How much sesame oil did you add?"
Yun Ye's answer was very harsh, but he didn't care at all. He had worked hard outside for two years climbing on ice and snow, and he had already seen all kinds of people. Yun Ye's level of humiliation was nothing.
"Such things always happen, and it is inevitable. Buddhism cannot be spotless. Buddha needs gold bricks to pave the ground to preach. It is inevitable for secular monks to make small mistakes. The poor monk has made a great wish to build a building for the herdsmen on the grassland.
A Buddhist country does not accept money, nor does it accept cattle or sheep. We only pray for the herdsmen and open the door for convenience. No matter who wants to enter the Buddhist country, we will not stop them and let them bathe in the Buddha's land.
Hui, no matter who wants our help at any time or anywhere, we will never look back. I only hope that the Buddha will be compassionate and can appease those restless souls."
When Bianji said this, his whole person seemed to be glowing. His eyes were fanatical and his actions were persistent. The alms bowl he was holding in his hand immediately stretched out in front of Yun Ye. Finally, he met a rich man. Wan
Don't let it go.
Bianji achieved unprecedented success in robbing the general among thousands of troops. Not only did he have ten gold coins, but also more than thirty silver coins, plus a set of jewelry from Mrs. Higurashi, and he used words to force him before leaving.
The furious general wrote an IOU for five hundred silver coins. He would go to Yunjiazhuangzi to find the eldest lady of Yunjia to collect the money.
Yuan Shoucheng and Yun Ye stood at the entrance of the tent and watched Bianji lead the group of monks away. Yuan Shoucheng said: "Let's not make any judgments yet. Let's write them down on paper and then take them out together to see our answers.
Yun Ye was convinced. They wrote the notes back to back and unfolded them together under the oil lamp. They looked at each other and put the notes on the oil lamp and lit them. Watching the notes turn into ashes, Yun Ye asked Yuan Shoucheng: "We
Is it really okay to sit back and watch like this?"
"No problem. There is no way to bring good and misfortune. You bring it to yourself. We did not instigate it, nor did we add fuel to the flames. We did not harm him. His future misfortune will have nothing to do with us. Besides, we will leave Yangguan in the west soon.
, when you will never see your old friend again, why do you have to worry so much? It’s more important to go to Kunlun first.”
After the imperial meal, the army passed through the ancient city of Qinzhou and entered the mountains again. If they wanted to stop again, they would come to the bank of the Yellow River. Lai Chuanfeng's leading troops were already ten miles away, and Fan Hongyi's rear troops were still there.
In Qinzhou, there are not many people this time, but there are countless horses. Yun Ye's minimum requirement for cavalry in this battle is to ride two horses. A warrior needs at least two horses, and some wealthy children are even equipped with three horses.
Horses, two for riding and one for carrying the load.
People in the Tang Dynasty are now accustomed to arming themselves to the teeth. A few years ago, a piece of bright armor was a treasure of a few people. Now, a piece of bright armor is no more valuable than two horses.
The reason is that steel is rampant and its price has plummeted. The initiator is the Changsun family, which has started a price war. Their family is preparing to occupy the market of steel products at low prices. Before Yun Ye went out, the blacksmith shop in Chang'an had already closed down.
