Chapter 1758 Open the golden rope, break the jade lock, I will know today that I am me
Although Xiao Tang and Fang La joined forces to revolt, Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue had the same temperament, and they had always been close friends during these days. Seeing An Daoquan indicating that Deng Yuanjue was incurable, Lu Zhishen immediately became anxious and irritable, and He glared and yelled: "Doctor An! You have cured all the wounds and illnesses. Brother Deng Yuanjue was cut into the shoulder by the ax blade of Wanyan Lou's house, but it was not a serious injury that caused death. He is strong and strong with strong muscles and bones. How could I not be saved after receiving this blow!?"
An Daoquan sighed again when he saw this, and said: "The Tatar general took advantage of the galloping momentum of the horse to attack with his wheel axe. Although most of his strength was removed, his chest was shattered by two heavy weapons. The lungs, organs, and sternum were also burst, and broken bones were inserted into the vital parts... With such serious injuries, even if I tried my best to survive, it would only cause the masters and students of Yuanjue to suffer. There is no way around it..."
After hearing this, Lu Zhishen became even more anxious. When he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a smile that seemed to be relieved on the seemingly peaceful face of Deng Yuanjue, who was lying on a stretcher. Although he was already out of breath, he was still intermittently angry. Said: "Senior brother... that's all... it's okay to pass away like this... Although I refer to myself as senior according to the Buddhist title, in fact, how did I know the Buddhist scriptures after becoming a monk? And then I surrendered to the leader of Fang, Sheng Gong, and converted to Mani. Although I also worship Maitreya as my lord... but I am used to killing people... I have already fallen into heresy... However, I was lucky enough to hear what my senior brother said... Just use the Zen staff to open the way to life and death. Using the sword to kill all the unjust people...is the great compassion of Buddhism...This also won my heart...Although I am not chanting sutras and chanting Buddha with a compassionate heart...but killing those who harm innocent people It's the merits and good deeds... It's the bad deeds I once did. Now all the virtues are perfected and all the evils are gone... It's also time to enter Nirvana and let go of the mortal world... "
Before he finished speaking, Deng Yuanjue's words became quieter and quieter until there was no sound. His body just lay quietly on the stretcher without any movement. When An Daoquan saw this, he quickly went to take a look. After a while, he sighed. Said: "Master Deng Yuanjue has passed away..."
However, after hearing Deng Yuanjue's last words and seeing him passing away, Lu Zhishen suddenly seemed to feel something in his heart, and he was not at all as irritable and scolding as usual.
At this time, Lu Zhishen suddenly thought about the time when he followed Xiao Tang to the aid of Hedong, defeated the troops led by the Tatar general Yin Shuke who besieged Taiyuan Prefecture, and then took advantage of the situation to march north. Lu Zhishen thought about joining forces with Xiao Tang to do great things. After fighting for many years, it has been several years, but they have never paid homage to the master whom Jie originally met for the first time and escaped into Buddhism. What's more, brother Xiao Tang personally visited Qingliang Temple in Wutai Mountain when he was chasing the remnants of Tianhu in Hedong, and also enlightened Elder Zhizhen. Lu Zhishen seemed to feel something about the ninety-six-character mantra entrusted to him, so he went to Qingliang Temple in Wutai Mountain, Yanmen County, Daizhou, north of Hedong Road, to pay homage to Elder Zhizhen.
When Elder Zhizhen met Lu Zhishen for the first time, although he bluntly said to his face that it was not easy to kill and set fire after his apprentice had been gone for several years, he also reminded Lu Zhishen that he was a man who fulfilled his destiny, but his worldly fate was not over, and his apprentice came to this world to walk in this world. Once upon a time, the layman Xiaotang acted for heaven and had a righteous heart. Helping him accomplish great things was also repaying the debt of killing living beings. He also had a Buddha mind in his roots, eliminated evil, and achieved good results early...
Although Lu Zhishen was just confused at first when he heard Elder Zhizhen's advice, but now after hearing Deng Yuanjue's words before his death, he suddenly felt enlightened and had an epiphany. After staring at Deng Yuanjue's body for a moment, Lu Zhishen suddenly Putting down the Zen staff in his hand, his expression gradually calmed down, and he sighed with emotion: "The six roots have been bound for many years, and the four major entanglements have been entangled for a long time. In the light of the stone fire, I turned several somersaults. Hey! All the sentient beings in the Jambu world, Howling frequently in the mud and sand..."
Jiao Ting, who was standing by, thought that it was precisely because Deng Yuanjue rushed out to intercept Wanyan Loushi who was destroying the formation before him, and now he saw him passing away, as if he had died on his behalf, and he felt very sad. Suddenly he saw Lu Zhishen's abnormal behavior again. When did the Hua Monk, who usually spoke of himself as a "straight mother-in-law" and "sajia", say a verse that sounded like a Buddhist monk? Jiao Ting couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately Asked: "Brother Zhishen, what did you say? Why can't I understand?"
However, Lu Zhishen was as unaware as a monk who had attained samadhi. Although his clothes and armor were still stained with blood, Lu Zhishen stepped forward again. When he came to Deng Yuanjue's body, he put his palms together with their palms facing each other. He put it flat in front of his heart, bowed to worship again, and then said calmly and calmly: "I have never cultivated good deeds in my life, I only like to kill people and set fires. Suddenly I opened the gold rope and broke the jade lock here. Hey! After all the work has been accomplished, I will leave it behind. Today I know who I am..."
Standing anxiously beside him, An Daoquan saw that Lu Zhishen's face showed no trace of anger. He was not disturbed by any external objects. He looked as if he had a look. The five aggregates of feeling, thought, form, and consciousness were empty. He had cultivated to the right state and was indifferent. The faces of the fully enlightened eminent monks who saw the solemn Dharma were full of surprise. As the saying goes, Buddhas are past people and people are future Buddhas. Now I see Lu Zhishen, who is bold and strong and does not stick to trivial matters and does not abide by rules. He is completely enlightened. , it seems that he has become a Buddha immediately...

After the war, the rebel armies commanded by Xiao Tang and the Xia soldiers and horses commanded by Cha Ge cleaned the battlefield and collected the corpses of their fallen soldiers. They were slaughtered and annihilated. The piles of corpses of Jin Army generals would inevitably breed epidemics. There were also soldiers from various teams who dug a big pit on the spot and set fire to it. During this period, the leader headed by Fu Xuan came to plead with Xiao Tang. They gritted his teeth and strongly advised him to cut off the head, disembowel and disembowel the body of Wanyan Loushi. Cut out the heart and enjoy the sacrifices to Meng De, Jiao Wentong, Liu Ze... and even many generals and generals who died in this battle, as well as the heroic souls of soldiers from various tribes.
In fact, if it was Xiao Tang's intention and out of respect for Wanyan Loushi, a powerful enemy, he was different from Wanyan Nianhan and others and did not want to bury his remains alive. However, when the Jin army invaded the Song Dynasty in the past, if they encountered When the heroic generals in the Song Ting army resisted desperately, their bodies were trampled by horses, minced into pulp, and even hung on trees and burned alive (for example, according to the official history of the Song generals Wang reported and Huang You's ending) and other heinous cruelties The methods are also common.
As for Fu Xuan, the only remaining leader of the rebel army in the Taihang Mountain chain, Xiao Tang probably remembered that if he followed his original trajectory, in order to dispel Song Ting's suspicions about the leader of the anti-Jin rebel army in the Green Forest, he stabbed Wang Yan on his face after joining him. "Serve the country with all my heart and swear to kill the gold thieves" to show his loyalty. Due to his military exploits, he was appointed by the imperial court as the commander of Jiangxi's envoys department. He was then transferred to Yue Fei as the commander. It is said that he should have become a member of the Yue Family Army. , However, now that Fu Xuan had already defected to the righteous cause, he was not restrained by the Song Dynasty military commander, and he still had the habit of a green forest hero. Since Wanyan Lou's family killed three close brothers who were brothers and sisters with him, Fu Xuan hated him deeply. He chewed through the gums and blood, and did not cut up the flesh and blood of this mortal enemy's corpse according to the excessive green forest revenge act, but he did not break the bottom line of the rules that Xiao Tang had determined not to violate. He made such a strong request and slightly It is natural and reasonable to vent the hatred in your heart.
Even though he was respectful, Wanyan Loushi was an enemy who could not forgive each other on the battlefield after all, and he could not let down the hearts of a group of brothers who followed him through life and death... Xiao Tang sighed secretly, and finally agreed to Fu Xuan.
At his request, he personally presided over sacrifices to commemorate the heroic souls of Zhai Jin, Deng Yuanjue, Zhu Jing, Ji Qing, Wang Ying, Meng De, Jiao Wentong, Liu Ze, etc. who were killed in this battle. But the sacrifices have already been made.
At that time, another sergeant from the Xia army came to report that Brother Cha, the king of Jin, had come to pay a visit. After detailed discussions, he sent his troops to lead them away. He and Xiao Tang each commanded their troops and divided up the northwest of the Song Dynasty.
