Chapter 5305: Standing alone in a lonely city to survive and die together
Huiyuan smiled slightly: "Lu Gu, you and I are both in our seventies and eighties. Even if we sleep today, we don't know if we will wake up tomorrow. Why should we keep fighting like this all day long? The moment we open our mouth, we will massacre the city and destroy the country.
Even if you don’t talk about the Buddhist theory of cause and effect, if you think about revenge all day long, can you live a happy life?"
Lu Gu waved his hand: "Hatred is the driving force that drives my life to this point. If we had lived in the peaceful period of the Western Jin Dynasty, just reciting poems, composing poems, and indulging in landscapes every day, then I would have been drunk and debauched long ago.
It is because I have suffered so much humiliation and accumulated so much anger that I want to take revenge on all of them one day. This is the force that drives me to where I am now."
Huiyuan sighed: "So, in the past, you thought that the barbarians in the north were causing trouble, ruining your career as an official, and destroying the Western Jin Dynasty, so you wanted to go south to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to take revenge on the Northern Expedition. Later, after you arrived in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, you felt that you were in power.
The aristocratic family suppressed and bullied them. They could not hold office and hold power. They could only join the Tianshi Tao and rely on the power of this religion to rebel and seize power. Now, if you are in Guangzhou and Lingnan, you feel that you were driven out by Liu Yu and the Jin army.
Come here, I didn’t realize your dream of dominating the world, so you took the opportunity to rebel and raise troops during Liu Yu’s Northern Expedition. In the end, I watched your Tianshi Dao troops in Guangzhou, but they stole your home from the Jin army who came from afar.
, so you want to take revenge again, even if you let the whole city be poisoned to death, you take back a city with only death and corpses, which is also what drives you now, right? "
Lu Gu's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, Huiyuan, you are right. This hatred from childhood to adulthood, the motivation for revenge, is the fire of life that has supported my life until now. You let me go today."
, I will also give you a final reward. I must take back this city of Guangzhou. It is best for you to leave early, so as not to destroy both the jade and the stone after the city is destroyed. This is the last thing I can do to you as an old classmate.
It’s just one thing. Don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
Huiyuan said calmly: "Lu Gu, I let you go because I respect life and don't want to take away any life. This doesn't mean that I'm afraid of you or that I want to help you. I don't want to help you kill people, but I don't want to either.
If you help others kill you, even if you can counterattack Guangzhou and win the city, what can you do? When Liu Yu's army arrives later, you still have to leave. You will eventually be unable to gain a foothold, and you will only increase the number of killings and deplete your own resources.
What is the use of military strength?"
Lu Gu laughed: "The purpose? The purpose is to tell the world and tell all the disciples of the God's Cult that as long as they are our enemies and enemies, they will suffer this fate. Do you want to see if anyone dares to go against us?"
Huiyuan sighed: "You want your disciples and subordinates to follow you with blood on their hands, and while enjoying the joy of conquest brought by this kind of killing and cruelty, you also want to turn yourself into beasts,
You are no longer a human being. You are really a devil and Shura walking in the world."
Lu Gu said fiercely: "Heaven and earth are unkind and unfair to me. Even if I transform into a demon, I will still fight with God and all the people who are my enemies in this world. Huiyuan, I don't believe you."
What nonsense about karma, reincarnation, retribution after death, etc., I just want to enjoy the feeling of gratification and revenge in this world. Even those who cultivate immortality and immortality mentioned by Tianshi Tao and Tiandao League, I am not that interested. Guangzhou City, I am
You must take it. If you want to live and die with the people in the city, then be prepared to be buried with them."
Huiyuan smiled slightly and pointed in the direction of the door of the secret room that Lu Gu was facing: "Lu Gu, you can go. The coffin to take you out of the city is right outside the door. You can let your subordinates mingle with my disciples who are out of the city to do things.
Let's go out together. I have my own things to do, so I won't accompany you. I hope we never see each other again in this life."
Lu Gu laughed loudly: "Goodbye, it's life and death. I'll pay you back this." He took out the roll of recommendation letters from his arms, threw it down on the ground, and strode outside without looking at Huiyuan.
The secret door opened and then closed. Lu Gu's footsteps and the sound of his crutches disappeared into the distance. Huiyuan sighed softly. Behind him, the light smoke from the incense burner had gathered into Kumarajiva's
He smiled slightly and said: "Master Huiyuan, it seems that your old classmate has hurt you a lot this time. I think he is right, surviving first is the most important thing.
You have saved the entire city's soldiers and civilians once. Tianshi Dao's next counterattack will be very fierce. Most of the Jin troops in the city have just been detoxified, including the guard Sun Chu, and they are unable to fight. You might as well advise Wu Yinzhi
He and Sun Chu led the troops on board the ships first and retreated to Wu."
Huiyuan shook his head: "It's hard for them to even walk, let alone sail a boat to sea. As for the previous Goguryeo fleet, they have been away for several days now and cannot be contacted. In this case, the Jin army is probably the same
Those who can't leave, besides, if they leave, what will happen to the people in the city? Will they stay and be slaughtered by the Tianshi Dao people? Lu Gu just said clearly that he would massacre the city to vent his anger."
Kumarajiva sighed: "No matter how much you want to save all sentient beings and save the world, you have to save yourself first. You staying in the city will not help. If you want to live and die with the soldiers and people in the city,
What's the use? If you are Liu Yu, and your more than 200 disciples are soldiers of the Beifu Army, they can indeed turn the tide of the war. But you yourself are an eighty-year-old monk, and even a small stone on the top of the city can kill you.
The monks in the temple don't know how to fight, so it's better for you to take them away first. Even if the Jin army refuses to withdraw, you can take away some of the people in the city and your own disciples to save their lives."
Huiyuan smiled slightly: "Master Luo Shi, I believe there will be miracles, just like the three thousand troops that General Shen Tianzi brought to chase the defeated Tianshi Dao army a few days ago. If they can come back, they can defend Guangzhou City.
.”
Kumarajiva smiled bitterly and said: "But they don't know our method of spreading smoke across thousands of miles. You can't notify Shen Tianzi at all now. You don't even know where they are. In a situation like Guangzhou City, there are not enough soldiers to fight."
Thousands of people, when the people in the city see that the momentum is not right, they will riot in the city, and even take the initiative to surrender to the Tianshi Tao soldiers and horses outside the city. You should not have unrealistic illusions and leave early, so that at least some people can be saved.
"
Huiyuan said calmly: "If I don't go to hell, who will? Now the people in the city trust me very much and regard me as the incarnation of Bodhisattva. I have expelled the remnants of the Celestial Master Dao in the city and solved their poison. My words
It is more effective than Governor Wu. If I abandon these people and run away by boat with my monks and disciples, what will the soldiers and people in the city think of me, and how will they think of me as a Buddha?" (End of Chapter)
