?My mother has just finished her lecture in Yishui County. Under the protection of nearly a thousand people, she is crossing the mountains of Yimeng and rushing to Mengyin County. It is the peak of spring. Along the way, there are mountains and mountains, forests, flowers, waterfalls and flowing water.
The misty clouds made the Buddha Mother feel cold and depressed, and her mood full of hatred could not help but feel relieved.
At noon, a group of people rested and ate at a waterfall. The waterfall fell from the sky, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, and it was spectacular! The water mist around the waterfall, with rainbows appearing from time to time, was gorgeous and colorful, forming a picture with the majestic mountain peaks and the green forest sea.
A beautiful picture.
The guards under her command were already accustomed to this kind of life, and they were cooking and cooking in an orderly manner. The Buddha Mother naturally did not need to work. She sat on a raised boulder opposite the waterfall, looking at the rainbow that appeared and disappeared at that time, and was stunned.
Trance.
While she was in trance, Elder Tang appeared beside her and said slowly: "According to legend, this is Guiguzi's dojo, and Sun Bin and Pang Juan learned martial arts here. It is said that there is a stone gate behind the waterfall here, which opens once every five hundred years. I don't know.
Waiting for this fairy fate."
"If the stone gate happened to be opened today, would my father be willing to follow Guiguzi into the cave and not care about worldly affairs?" Buddha's mother-in-law said in a calm tone, but with a hint of ridicule.
"..." Elder Tang looked a little annoyed, but finally sighed helplessly and said slowly: "How can it be that the Milky Way is falling, flying thousands of feet away? If you can see the banishment of the immortal, you will no longer ask Kuanglu. As a father, I can't let go of my teachings.
Things in the middle..."
"Father can't let go of his ambition, right?" Buddha's mother made no attempt to conceal her ridicule this time.
"If Mother Buddha is in a bad mood, just vent it to me," Elder Tang was not annoyed and said calmly: "Anyone would be annoyed if they encountered such doubts in Yishui County." When they were preaching about Mother Buddha's boundless power in Mengyin.
, some key members of the sect openly questioned, saying that the fires in the three main halls were not cast by the Buddha's mother, but set on fire manually. Although the scene was barely resolved, the Buddha's face was naturally very ugly, and she wanted to conquer Yishui Bailian's plan.
, also hit a wall.
"What's there to be angry about? What's fake is just fake. It can't be true." Buddha Mother said calmly, "It's my father who insists on telling this lie. He's the only one who's angry."
"I'm not angry. It's good that Buddha Mother is not angry." Elder Tang said with a smile: "With so many people in the White Lotus Sect, those who should believe will naturally believe in it. If we go step by step, we can always gather most of the people.
At that time, those who are watching will naturally stop watching, and the doubters will naturally shut up."
"I hope it is as my father said." A gust of mountain wind blew by, blowing up the veil of the Buddha Mother, revealing her white and delicate lower jaw, and her graceful red lips. Although it was only a corner of Lushan Mountain, it was enough to show that she was a young and beautiful woman.
woman.
"It must be like this." Elder Tang said in a deep voice, not as if he was giving the Buddha Mother confidence, but as if he was cheering himself up.
"Just listen to my father, just don't let me wait too long," Buddha Mother said coldly: "Once my patience is exhausted, I will go find that person to seek revenge on my own."
"Didn't you already draw a shadow and promise to be the protector of the Dharma and let all the believers in Shandong capture this person?" Elder Tang said with some displeasure: "Are you still going to risk your life by going to Jinan City to assassinate him?
!”
"I will. I just regret that the knife didn't kill him..." Buddha Mother turned her delicate hand, and a cold-light thorn appeared in her hand, and her tone became murderous and said: "
This time, I must pierce this eyebrow thorn into his heart with my own hands!"
"Hey..." Seeing his daughter like this, Elder Tang opened his mouth to persuade him, but then he thought, wasn't it because of her hatred that she would obey him and help him realize his ambition step by step? Thinking of this, Elder Tang changed his mind.
He said, "Yes." After saying this, there was no answer from the Buddha's mother, and he felt bored, so he got down from the boulder.
The Buddha's Mother sat alone on the boulder with her knees in her arms, looking at the waterfall in a daze. The water mist slightly wetted her dress, outlining her slender figure. To the followers below, she looked a little helpless and pitiful.
Feel.
But immediately, those believers who had such thoughts shook their heads and laughed at themselves for being stupid. That was the Supreme Buddha Mother who burned down the three main halls! How could she be so lonely and pitiful?!
However, they clearly saw that her shoulders were shaking slightly, as if she was crying... However, the believers quickly figured out that Her Majesty the Buddha must be immersed in the state of great mercy at this moment, "Have pity on my world, and there are many sorrows".
Yes, that must be the case! The congregants had no doubt about this, and many people put down what they were doing and began to kneel down and worship the Mother of Buddha devoutly...
In Jinan Prefecture, the imperial envoy went to the palace and signed a pledge for the house.
Wang Xian was wearing a casual robe, standing on a map of Shandong with his hands behind his hands. Behind him was Zhou Gan, who was kneeling on one knee. He was reporting in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, the Buddha Mother and her entourage left Yishui on the sixth day of the lunar month and are passing through Yimeng.
In the mountainous area, we are heading towards Mengyin County, and we estimate that we have arrived in Mengyin today."
Wang Xian nodded, and Gu Xiaolian gently pressed a red arrow on the location of Mengyin County. On the map, there are eleven such arrows, starting from the direction of Aoshanwei, Jimo County, all the way around Jiaozhou Bay.
After passing Jiaonan and entering Yishui, the last place is Mengyin County.
"How many days will we stay in Mengyin?" Wang Xian asked softly.
"According to past experience, it should be two days, no more than three days at most." Zhou Gan said softly: "Obviously, Buddha Mother is in a hurry. No matter how effective it is, she will not stay in one place for more than three days."
"Why is she so anxious?" Wang Xian asked calmly.
"It should be because several competitors have appeared in various places recently," Zhou Gan said: "There is an old father Wu Sheng in Dengzhou and a Maitreya in Jinan. She wants to go as much as possible before these people get up.
some places."
"Yeah." Wang Xian nodded and returned to the topic: "Where do you think she will go next?"
"It seems that she has three choices, go south to Linyi, west to Laiwu, and north to Zichuan." Zhou Gan said softly: "In the opinion of my subordinates, it is unlikely that she will go south, because Lunan has long been her territory. Since she has taken over
Naturally, we should go to areas with neutral swings as much as possible.”
"It makes sense." Wang Xian recalled that in Yuncheng when he saw the believers going crazy about the Buddha Mother, he still agreed with Zhou Gan's analysis. There was really no need to rush there for the Buddha Mother.
"As for whether to go west or north, each has advantages and disadvantages." Zhou Gan continued to analyze: "If you go west, you can climb Mount Tai, preach on the top of Mount Tai, and borrow the name of Bixia Yuanjun, it must be right.
She is extremely helpful. However, this area is in a mountainous area and the population is not that dense. There may not be many believers directly attracted." After a pause, he said: "As for heading north to Zichuan, you will enter the most densely populated area in Shandong.
, the direct effect is naturally the best, but the Zichuan side..."
"What's going on over there?" Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Wang Xian asked with a frown.
"That's the territory of the King of Han..." Zhou Gan whispered: "The White Lotus Sect and the King of Han seem to have an agreement. In his territory, the White Lotus Sect is the least troublesome."
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded approvingly, expressing satisfaction with Zhou Gan's recent work: "Not bad. Continue to monitor closely!"
"Yes!" Zhou Gan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Only he knew how much effort he had put in to obtain this information in time. "My subordinates resign!"
"Wait a minute." Wang Xian took out a yellow jade talisman from his sleeve, handed it to Zhou Gan cautiously, and whispered a few instructions in his ear.
Zhou Gan heard this, nodded solemnly, and said solemnly: "I will live up to your trust!"
"Go." Wang Xian nodded.
After Zhou Gan left, Wang Xian stared at the map and pondered for half an hour. Then he said to Zhou Yong behind him: "Please come to the house to have a chat with the three adults."
"Yes!" Zhou Yong took the order and left. Half an hour later, Chu Yan, Liu Ben, and Ma Zhong came to meet Wang Xian.
"Greetings to the Imperial Envoy!" After the three of them saluted, Wang Xian asked them to get up, sit down and watch tea, and briefly asked about the progress. The three of them said that everything went well, and Wang Xian expressed that he was very satisfied. Then he changed the subject and said with a smile: "I
I am very quiet and thinking about it, and I am going to go to various mansions to have a look. It’s not that I can’t trust you sirs, but it’s just... I’m too bored.”
"Ah! You must not do it!" Chu Yan and others hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but Liu Ben said, "Yes, sir! The land in Shandong is not peaceful, and those people from the White Lotus Sect can do anything!"
"Didn't you say that things are going well?" Wang Xian looked at the three of them with a smile and asked, "Why don't you even let me out?!"
"This..." Chu Yan and the three secretly wailed, and they came again and again... What they couldn't bear the most was Wang Xian's tricks. Whenever Wang Xian had something to say and didn't want to say it clearly, but wanted to be weird, they would
I want to strangle this guy to death!
"The centipede insect is dead but not stiff," Liu Ben hurriedly explained: "Not to mention that the disease comes like a mountain falling, and the disease goes away like a thread. It will take some time to completely eliminate the threat of the White Lotus Sect."
"Yes, sir," Chu Yan also said: "The trapped beast is still fighting, what's the matter with Bailian? Don't take risks! If anything goes wrong, we can't afford to suffer."
"That's right," Ma Zhong also nodded in agreement: "Your Excellency, you should still be in charge of Jinan City. Those dangerous matters should be left to the officials and others."
"What are you talking about?!" Wang Xian said with a displeased look on his face: "Am I a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?! What kind of dangers did I not see in Jiulongkou, Guangling County, and Nanhaizi back then?!"
As he spoke, his tone became colder and he said: "Besides, I am just wandering around, not going up mountains of swords and seas of fire. Is there something you are hiding from me?!"
"No, absolutely not!" The three people hurriedly shook their heads. Wang Xian's words had already reached this point. They dared to stop him, so they had to ask carefully: "Where do you want to go, the imperial envoy?"
"I want to go see the sea..." The imperial envoy, who was upright and upright one moment, lost his composure the next moment, and said with longing on his face: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've never seen the sea water before.
Do you think the water in the sea is really that salty?"
"Ah?!" Chu Yan was so sweaty that he almost fell to the ground! The three of them wiped away the sweat and twitched the corners of their mouths. They really didn't know what the imperial envoy was thinking in his mind?!
