Since arriving in Southern Zhou Dynasty, Ning Yayun likes to go out for a walk when she has nothing to do. Walking around here and shopping there, it is very pleasant.
"Old Yang!"
The army was on its way to Xinzhou. In the early morning, after finishing her training, Ning Yayun commented on King Qin's cultivation and looked at the white fish belly on the horizon. "Old Yang, are you going out for a walk?"
Yang Lue lived in the Southern Zhou Dynasty for many years and was considered a half-landlord.
As for Jiang Nuxia, King Qin would be unable to do without her for a while, so Ning Yayun chose to invite Yang Lue to travel with her. "Okay!"
Yang Lue readily agreed, and the two left the camp. As for safety...
One is the commander of the bodyguards who respected the emperor at that time. He has practiced in the Southern Zhou Dynasty for many years. No one knows how advanced his cultivation is. The other is the leader of metaphysics. His cultivation level... I think.
When these two people go out, there is no need to worry about their safety unless they are surrounded and killed by a large army. Ning Yayun's target is a Taoist temple in front of them.
When they arrived outside the Taoist temple, the door was closed, but Ning Yayun and her husband knew that there was someone inside. "Be a bad guest."
Ning Yayun knocked on the door.
"Who?" someone inside asked.
"Pilgrim!" Ning Yayun smiled mischievously, like a child.
"We're not open today!"
"Let's go! It's a rare opportunity for me to come here."
"What's going on with this guy? The army is right outside, yet he still dares to come and offer incense!" The door opened slowly.
A Taoist stood behind the door and looked at the two of them. "You two are..."
Ning Yayun was dressed in a green shirt, looking as free and easy as a wild crane in the clouds; while Yang Lue stood there like a mountain, which made people feel stressed. "Can I go in?" Ning Yayun asked with a smile.
"That's easy to say!" The Taoist thought that these two people seemed a bit unlike pilgrims. But unless they were evil visitors, there was no reason to stop them.
The two entered the Taoist temple.
The ground is very flat and extremely solid. It looks like it has been trampled by people for many years. It is harder than what was pressed out by stone wheels. The buildings of the Taoist temple looked at least hundreds of years old. Ning Yayun asked.
, the Taoist said: "After the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, a general in the army retired and returned home. This man believed in our Taoism, so he donated money to build this Taoist temple."
"This is fate!" Ning Yayun praised.
"No, over the past hundreds of years, this incense has become more and more prosperous..."
The Taoist began to talk about the various efficacious features of the Taoist temples dedicated to the gods. Ning Yayun just smiled and listened.
"Now that the Northern Xinjiang Army is marching south, it is about to reach Yingshui. What do you think of Fangwai in the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Ning Yayun asked. The Taoist took a step back without leaving a trace, and said with a smile: "People outside the Fangzhou don't care about worldly matters."
Ning Yayun walked out of the hall, stood under the eaves, looked into the distance with her hands behind her hands, "The mortal world outside is originally one." "Oh!"
Following this voice, more than ten Taoists walked out from the side of the hall.
The leading Taoist looked to be in his fifties and had a simple appearance. He bowed his head and said, "Brother Taoist, who are you here for?" "I am here for you."
Ning Yayun suddenly stretched out her hand, and with a pop, a gust of wind blew past her. The Taoist took a step back, but Ning Yayun didn't move.
The Taoist glanced at Yang Lue and said, "The King of Qin's army is marching south. As the saying goes, everyone is a swordsman and I am a fish. We and other outsiders can only close the door and wait for God's will. What else can we do?"
"I heard that someone in Bianjing is making contact outside the country." Ning Yayun took a step forward. "I don't know that."
The Taoist raised his arms, and a dozen Taoists behind him came up with their hands on the hilts of their swords. The tension between the two sides was about to break out.
"Aye, it looks so old here." A child's voice suddenly came from outside.
"This watch has a history of at least hundreds of years, and it has some origins." "Aye, hundreds of years, can there be gods?"
"God! He is in each of our hearts and on our heads." "In our hearts and on top of our heads?"
"Yes, that god doesn't speak and won't interfere with what you do. It just watches you silently, watching whether you do good things or bad things. It will write down all of this...
In the end, good and evil will be rewarded."
"Oh! Then... then I was still worshiping gods in metaphysics!"
"What are gods? Gods are human nature. Acting in a righteous manner is worshiping gods. Of course, it is also good for you to go to metaphysics to worship gods. People must have some respect."
"Oh! Can I still go there in the future?" "I can go. Just one way." "What?"
"Don't be fooled by Master Ning, thinking about mastering some metaphysics!"
"Oh! I see."
"Be good! Come on, let's go in and take a look."
A man walked in holding a child. Behind him, there were more than ten monks.
The leader is Guo Yunhai, the headmaster of Yunshan.
Ning Yayun sighed, "Are you arranging me for Ah Liang again?" "You decide on the successor first, then everything will be easy to talk about."
The King of Qin had always been worried that Lao Shuai Guo would seduce A Liang to become a master of metaphysics. If it was just an ordinary trick, it would be nothing more. Metaphysics has been passed down for more than a thousand years, and God knows if there are any secret techniques to confuse people.
The Taoist's face changed, "I dare to ask you about your identity." King Qin looked at him and said calmly: "Gu, Li Xuan!"
The Taoist was shocked, and he bowed his head and said, "I have met His Highness!" More than ten Taoists bowed their heads and said, "I have met Your Highness!"
King Qin entered the hall, and soon he heard his voice introducing the gods to A Liang.
"All the teachings in the Central Plains guide people to do good. To believe in the gods is to use piety to guide believers to do good deeds, and to seek inner peace in this world of mortals, which is full of anxiety and suffering."
King Qin's voice was very leisurely, "Why attack Y sacrifice? Those gods worshiped in private are just for some efficacious reasons, but they lack the purpose of guiding people to do good and lead people to peace. Worshiping gods is not about praying for anything, but
It is to listen to the advice of the gods and do good deeds that are beneficial to the family and the country."
"Aye, then... do you want to become a monk like them?"
"No!" King Qin smiled, "What do the gods most like to see? It is for believers to get out of the state of pain and suffering based on their own words... Let's put it this way! A person is struggling in the world of mortals, with basic necessities, food, clothing, housing, and transportation, etc.
Desires are entangled, and desires are hard to satisfy. When you become a petty official, you want to be an official, when you become a county magistrate, you want to be a governor, when you become a governor, you want to be a prime minister, when you become a prime minister, you want to be an emperor..."
Outside, Yang slightly squinted his eyes, thinking of Han Ji and others.
"After becoming an emperor, he still feels inadequate. He looks up at the sky and wants to talk to God." "What are you talking about?"
"I want to ask God to step aside and let him rule the gods." "Ah!" A Liang was a little surprised.
"So, Fangwai is a place to wash away excessive desires. Belief in gods is a way out for mortals who are entangled in too many desires in the mortal world and cannot get rid of them by relying on their own strength."
"oh!"
Outside, Ning Yayun smiled and said, "This is His Highness's attitude towards foreign affairs." Being foreign is beneficial to the country.
However, you must stand in line.
"Then I will go to worship God." Ah Liang said, "When I worship God, I will think about whether I have been led by desire to do bad things recently." "Okay!"
Prince Qin and his son came out.
A Liang looked at those Taoists curiously, feeling that they were very celestial and Taoist, which made people feel cordial in their hearts. "Your Highness..." The Taoist bowed his head again.
The King of Qin said: "Gu received a secret report a few days ago, saying that Bianjing sent envoys to travel around, ordering foreign forces from all over the country to spread words about Gu's brutality and the brutality of the Northern Xinjiang army to believers. Gu thought that the Tang Dynasty and the Southern Zhou Dynasty had the same culture and species.
"Since the army went south, Gu He's men have not killed innocent people indiscriminately."
It is said that Fangwai is a quiet place, but pilgrims come and go, bringing countless news from the outside world. Unless they are those outsiders who have thoroughly explored the human world, how can they remain unmoved when surrounded by these news all day long?
As soon as his heart moved, a gap appeared. The Taoist lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Bao Dong led his people to promote the Tang Dynasty and the Southern Zhou Dynasty as one family. In addition, the Northern Xinjiang Army changed its cruelty towards the rebels and showed a lot of warmth, which attracted the hearts of many soldiers and civilians of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
After the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty knew about it, they thought of using external forces to confuse believers, and then the believers would spread the word and guide public opinion. King Qin's army was ruthless,
I have only been thinking about handling this matter in the past few days.
"Having a good life and cultivating people, leading people to be good, then it is a good place to be outside. The Southern Zhou Dynasty is different from the Northern Liao Dynasty. Gu said that everyone has the same culture and species. The Taoist temple is here, and no one can move it!
After destroying the Northern Liao Dynasty, the King of Qin moved a large number of foreign forces. Those who refused to leave, the army was sent out. Those who left were moved to various parts of the Central Plains, and could no longer form a joint force.
And what he said just now is the attitude of King Qin. The southern Zhou Dynasty is not moving outside.
Where it was before, there it still is.
Just keep practicing and enjoy the peace and quiet. Just one thing, don't get involved in worldly matters.
"A-Liang, let's go back and have breakfast." "Okay!"
King Qin was in front, and A Liang was a little behind. The father and son left the Taoist temple. Behind them, the Taoist priest saluted.
"I obey His Highness's orders!"
The father and son walked slowly toward the camp. A group of returning scouts saw them and quickly dismounted and saluted. These scouts had some moisture on their bodies, and it looked like they had spent the night outside.
"Thank you for your hard work." King Qin nodded.
The leader of the team was saying: "Your Highness, the scouts from Southern Zhou are dispatched very frequently." "I understand, let's go back and have breakfast!"
"yes!"
King Qin watched the team of scouts enter the camp and said to A Liang: "When the Tang Dynasty was founded, some foreign forces contributed a lot. If Fang Wai guided them well, it would be a huge help. If we let it go, or guide it,
If it is broken, the harm will be considerable. This must be investigated."
"Yes!" A Liang nodded vigorously.
King Qin touched the top of his head and said with a smile: "Maybe you don't understand what my father said at the moment. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just remember it. You can explore it slowly in the future."
Principles can never be instilled through preaching, they must be combined with practice. That is, the unity of knowledge and action.
After capturing Jinzhou, a lot of supplies were seized. The Southern Zhou Dynasty was prosperous, and those supplies improved the life of the Northern Xinjiang army. The breakfast was very rich, and the King of Qin even tasted the delicacies of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
The King of Qin didn't ask about his origins, and he didn't care even if he saw a timid new cook. At his position, taking care of everything in detail would only make things worse.
Before breakfast was finished, the scout brought news.
"Bianjing has dispatched 40,000 troops to reinforce Hanbi!"
King Qin took a bite of the pancake and said, "No wonder Han Bi stood still. Is he waiting for reinforcements to arrive and give him a single blow?"
