Chapter 61 The Legend of Invincibility - Song People Can Kill People
Chapter 61: The Undefeated Legend—Song people also killed people
“Scholars with high crowns, elegant ladies with fragrant clothes, bustling cities, hard-working and generous people...
This is a magical place.
Why did the people of Song Dynasty, who came from the blessed land of heaven, also like to kill people after they came to the Gobi Desert?
I heard that the people there are well-supported and careless when they are old. Every day when the morning bell rings, there is no idle person in the world...
The monks in the temple will give alms to all directions after chanting sutras, and the masters in the Taoist temple will also help the poor. I heard that the people there can't even bear to break the flowers and plants on the roadside, and even stray wild dogs can find food.
Why do scholars from such a kind country also like to kill people?
Could it be that it is really said in the book that oranges are tangerines when they grow in Huainan, and they are tangerines when they grow in northern Huaibei? The leaves are similar, but the taste is actually different. So what is the reason? The water and soil are different?"
After listening to Tie Xinyuan's long narration, Master Renbao, who had not spoken for a long time, sighed and said a long series of words for the first time. He was very touched by Tie Xinyuan's narration.
Tie Xinyuan knew that Master Renbao was talking about his killing of prisoners, and also knew that he was implicitly accusing him of not being as kind and kind as other Song people.
This naive clergy practitioner has long seen the cruelty and vicissitudes of the world. In his heart, there will be a legendary pure land no matter what. The Song Dynasty is far away, so he brought the legendary Song Dynasty to
Completely perfected.
The number of people killed in the Song Dynasty was not much less than that in the Western Regions, but the killings in the Song Dynasty were all hidden. They were not as brutal and straightforward as those in the Western Regions. Tie Xinyuan had the most intuitive understanding of this.
To a large extent, this has to do with the prosperity of the economy and the popularization of culture. The people of the Song Dynasty still had a sense of right and wrong, and at least they knew that killing was a shameful and private matter.
Unlike people from the Western Regions, where killing already gives you a sense of accomplishment, killing here does not require any cover-up.
As for the economy of the Western Region, Tie Xinyuan has not yet discovered that there is a so-called economy here, only robbery.
Robbery here is as frequent as transactions in the Song Dynasty, and has the same effect.
Transactions in the Song Dynasty used money to achieve the highest goal of exchanging what was needed, and the bandits in the Western Regions also achieved this goal through robbery.
This place has its own weird survival philosophy, and it works well. At least, Tie Xinyuan doesn't see any possibility or danger of the collapse of the robbery economy here yet.
The society of the Song Dynasty has developed to the peak era of feudalism, and the Western Regions are still a semi-slave and semi-feudal society.
Tie Xinyuan can say with certainty that even if Bao Zheng, a moral scholar, comes to the Western Regions, if there are thousands of people under his command who need to eat, he will rush out with a knife to rob, and he will definitely be more ferocious and brave than other bandits.
No other reason, just because Bao Zheng understands the responsibilities and obligations better than those brutal bandits.
There is no need to say these words to Master Renbao, an admirer of the Song Dynasty. Facing the master's bright eyes, Tie Xinyuan could only touch his nose in shame and smile bitterly: "I am an alien among the people of the Song Dynasty, so I can only run away
Come to the Western Regions to make a living."
Master Sakya is not as innocent and simple as Master Renbao. It is obvious that he has a deeper understanding of human nature. He knows that people in the Song Dynasty are definitely not as pure and kind as Master Renbao said, and not all people in the Western Regions may be as good.
They are all extremely vicious robbers.
Tie Xinyuan is the most peculiar person among all the people he knows.
As a leader, the lower ranks of him and his slave subordinates do not seem to be that harsh.
Even in terms of personal enjoyment, the only thing he had more than those slaves was this jar of golden honey.
At this time, he didn't know where Tie Xinyuan's hometown was, but he very much hoped to build a temple for himself and Master Renbao in Tie Xinyuan's hometown.
Since the Bon Religion master Xinrao Mibao founded the four sects of Bon Religion, the Bon Religion, which originally did not establish writing or images (Buddha statues), finally painfully realized its own sect after a failed struggle with Buddhism.
Errors in teaching.
Gods and Buddhas on the spiritual level are really too far away. Only when ignorant people see the essence of Gods and Buddhas will people believe in them, even if it is just an illusory shadow of a God and Buddha projected on the human world...
Without the protection of the royal power, the development of Bon religion has become a big problem. Master Sakya believes that the royal power controls people's bodies, and the soul must be left to them for guidance.
"For a long time, Renbao and I have wanted to find a spotless place to build a bright hall to worship Samantabhadra and Universal Bright Sun Tathagata. I wonder if the leader has any suggestions?"
After Master Sakya finished speaking, he looked at Tie Xinyuan's uncertain face under the firelight.
The Bon religion failed in the Luoshe Dharma Debate Conference three hundred years ago. From then on, the places where they preached scriptures were occupied by Buddhism. Countless Bon masters could only wander around in the barren mountains and rivers to spread their teachings. After three hundred years of hard work, the Bon religion failed.
The legend of fire continues from generation to generation, and even after a thousand years, the Bon religion has not perished, so it naturally has its own extraordinary features.
If Master Sakya is allowed to build a Bon temple in Qingxiang Valley, Tie Xinyuan will undoubtedly become his eyes and ears. At least, Bon believers all over the world will become his eyes and ears.
What's more important is that in this place in the Western Region, if you don't believe in something, it's almost impossible to move forward.
In my own valley, there are now many people worshiping all kinds of gods in a chaotic manner. There is even a group of people who bow to the fire in front of the fire. If they cannot unify their beliefs early, there will be big trouble sooner or later.
Bon religion is actually a very trustworthy religion. This religion has a long history. It is said that it started 18,000 years ago. At that time, the Tibetan people probably still lived in caves.
With the help of Master Sakya and Master Renbao, they will take the residents in the valley to visit the sacred mountain, worship the holy lake, kowtow, make salondas, hang colorful prayer flags, make stone offerings, fire offerings, and water offerings.
Offering, offering, simmering mulberry, torma, butter flowers, tsa-tsa, vajra knot; also learning Chinese, playing dzi beads, sky iron, dancing Guozhuang, Xuan dance, painting, life will never be boring again, as for Tibetan
It’s better not to study Wen.
Tie Xinyuan is very confident in the Chinese characters created by the ancestors of the Han people. As long as he starts learning difficult Chinese characters, he will have no time to learn other characters.
But there are also troubles. These people of the Bon religion like to burn something for the gods and Buddhas. It is said that in one of the most prosperous years of the Bon religion, they burned a million catties of highland barley, 6,000 yaks, and 4,000 yaks for the gods and Buddhas at one time.
A war horse, 10,000 sheep, 500 slaves, 50 Zanpu courtiers, as well as countless furs and cloths, plus firewood, piled up a large fire two miles around.
The fire burned for three full months, and even the rain from the sky could not extinguish the fire...
If you just burn some paper money and pig heads, Tie Xinyuan is very willing. If you burn all the food and cattle and sheep that the guys in Qingxiang Valley have worked hard to grow, Tie Xinyuan feels that he
I will immediately pick up the knife and chop these two old guys to death.
Tie Xinyuan said jokingly: "My family has a big place, and there is no problem in building a temple. It's just that my family is very poor now, and I'm afraid I won't have anything good to offer to Samantabhadra and Universal Bright Sun Tathagata."
Master Sakya smiled and said, "Two cups of butter and one petal of heart incense are enough to offer to my Buddha."
Tie Xinyuan looked at Master Sakya suspiciously and said, "I heard..."
Uncle Sakya Master said impatiently with his fat sleeves: "Hearsay is not enough."
"Well, there is wood and stone in the valley. If you need bricks and tiles, my people can also make them. Two people who know how to make porcelain have recently arrived. If you need them, you can send them to you.
However, agree in advance that you need to raise the cost of building the temple yourself. If you don't have any way to get the money, there is a land belonging to the devil in the Gobi. There are a lot of agates there. If you can pick up some agates,
, I can send someone to help you sell it, so that you can have money to build the temple."
Tie Xinyuan thought very clearly that from the beginning, he would block the path for these clergymen to ask for money from him.
If you don’t give it now, you won’t give it in the future. The most correct way is to rely on your own efforts and have enough food and clothing.
Master Sakya smiled and said: "We still have no shortage of gold, jewels, and shells. As long as the leader provides a place where the gods can live in peace, we will be grateful.
Until now, I still don’t know the name of the leader. In the future, after the Mingtang is built, a butter lamp must be lit for the leader on the longevity monument.”
Unexpectedly, these two poor old monks, who only had one piece of clothing left, were actually two rich men. Their words, which were full of treasures from financial backers, were said in a gentle way, full of the contempt of an outsider for the smell of money.
It made Tie Xinyuan feel relaxed and happy to communicate with two monks in Song dialect. Although the Song dialect of these two monks was very strange and difficult to understand, they both spoke very rigorously in choosing words and sentences.
"I have met two masters, Tie Xinyuan!"
With a smile, Tie Xinyuan met the two masters Sakya and Renbao again.
After the three of them laughed, they each got into their sheepskin sleeping bags. The three of them each gained something this night, and the thought of Master Renbao even killing people in the Song Dynasty was forgotten.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
How could people in Song Dynasty not kill people?
Civilized people are the most efficient in killing people. After all, these barbarians in the Western Regions only know how to use knives.
The cool air penetrated into the nasal cavity, forcing people to wake up. Tie Xinyuan did not intend to continue thinking about things, so he retracted his head into the sheepskin tube with a slight smell of odor, and fell asleep after a while.
The wind from the Tianshan Mountains blows from the top of the mountain, bringing up large snowflakes. The snowflakes turn into fine mist before they fly down the mountain. The rain and mist fall, re-condensing into fine water droplets on the outside of the bare and woolless sheepskin tube, and then
Tie Xinyuan's heaving chest shook him to the ground.
