After Pan Ruoxue and others left, Wuxu had a long talk with Liu Futong. He said that Anfeng City had been filled with resentment because of Liu Futong's unscrupulous use of spiritual contemplation. It was so harmful to Tianhe that it was better to stop here.
, Dafangfang was defeated and left Jiqing to join Zhu Yuanzhang.
After Liu Futong thanked Poyang Lake for his help that day, he heard Wuxu's advice, but he didn't comment, and just agreed to think about it. Wuxu secretly sighed in his heart, an uprising leader like Liu Futong was extremely persistent and immersed in spiritual thoughts.
The dark summoning spell has been practiced for a long time. At this time when everyone is surrounded by enemies, inner demons are everywhere and it is difficult to extricate themselves.
Seeing that it was useless to talk more, Wuxu informed Zhang Shicheng's army about the siege of Anfeng tomorrow, and then left with Zhao Tong. Liu Futong suddenly spoke up and asked Wuxu to bring Han Lin'er and others to Jiqing.
Wuxu was reluctant to agree at first, but when he saw the wrinkled Liu Futong choked several times, Zhao Tong did not speak but looked pleading, so he agreed. Liu Futong was overjoyed and led Wuxu Zhao Tong to the temporary palace. He had already
The palace servants came in and woke up Han Lin'er. Liu Futong just ordered people to invite the prince.
When Liu Futong waited for Han Lin'er and Prince Han Kuang to arrive, he entrusted them to Wuxu and Zhao Tong. He even personally held Han Kuang, who was only five years old, and handed his little hand to Zhao Tong.
Wuxu said to Liu Futong, "According to the news, tomorrow, Zhang Shicheng's general Lu Zhen will lead a large army to besiege the city. Without further delay, we will set off now."
Liu Futong nodded, without saying much, took out the White Lotus Token and said, "Master, please keep this White Lotus Token for safekeeping." It was obvious that he was determined to die.
Wuxu looked at this White Lotus Token that was stained with a lot of blood, and remembered the scene when he personally blessed it with Buddhist Dharma. He also recalled the scene where he met Liu Futong, Liu Ruolan, and Chang Yuchun in Yinghu City. He watched and heard that Lu Zhen's army would besiege the city tomorrow.
Han Lin'er, who was trembling at the news, then looked at Han Kuang, who was keeping his eyes wide open and not making any noise. After a moment of silence, he took the White Lotus Order from Liu Futong's hand and said, "That's fine, I'll do it when we get to the gathering."
Leave it to your grandson Han Kuang."
Liu Ruolan married Han Lin'er and gave birth to a son named Han Kuang, who was established as the crown prince of the Song Dynasty. Wuxu still knew about these things.
Liu Futong looked at Han Lin'er and Han Kuang who seemed to be unhappy around him, and said in a low tone, "I will let the master arrange everything." After that, he took out another golden arrow and handed it to Wuxu.
At this moment, Zhao Tong had accompanied Han Lin'er and Han Kuang inside to pack up important things. Wuxu took a deep look at Liu Futong, who had taken care of him, and said, "Prime Minister Liu, the young monk gave you the Divine Mind Summoning Technique that day. I don't know if it was right."
It's wrong."
Liu Futong, who was dressed in black robes, said seriously, "Master, when you see Futong going crazy, you think this spiritual contemplation method is a Western magic?"
The White Lotus Sect originally originated from the White Lotus Society of Buddhism and believed in the future Buddha Maitreya, who will come to save all sentient beings. In the process of subsequent spread, it also absorbed the teachings of Taoism and Western Zoroastrianism. Therefore, some people ridiculed the White Lotus Sect.
A freak who always uses Western magic in his actions. This time, the East China Sea Monster Alliance sent two real monks to deal with a mere Liu Futong.
Wuxu also knew these rumors. Seeing that Liu Futong's words were vaguely related to the fundamental teachings of the White Lotus Sect in the human world, Wuxu couldn't say much at the moment and said slowly, "The young monk has never practiced this spiritual contemplation technique.
It's easy to talk nonsense. However, if you use this to control mortals and refine the ghost army, then"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Futong stood there and laughed loudly, "I didn't expect that the master would look like this."
If someone said this to Wuxu in normal times, Wuxu would definitely laugh. But now Liu Futong said it, Wuxu was quite angry, "You have gone crazy, saying that you don't have any appearance, but you are always showing off your appearance."
, otherwise why are there so many dead souls who have been transformed into ghost armies by you and hidden in these four screens?"
Liu Futong looked like he was crazy, raised his hands in the air, raised his head and laughed wildly, "Obsessed?! Hahaha!"
Wuxu suddenly felt that he had an unshirkable responsibility, and he casually threw the Divine Mind Summoning Technique to Liu Futong that day, feeling regretful in his heart.
But I heard Liu Futong pull out the four screens and float them in mid-air, each showing a different scene. Liu Futong pointed casually, counting the treasures in his mouth, and murmured, "This is Mao Gui going north to Shandong, this is Bai Buxin and others entering Guanzhong, this is Guan Duo and others."
After taking a brief look at Shanxi and Hebei, this is a battle to benefit the capital."
Wu Xu quietly looked at Liu Futong and the four screens.
Liu Futong suddenly turned around and said to Wuxu, "When was it not Futong who used the spiritual conjuring technique to gather the morale of the army and move forward indomitably?"
Wuxu replied, "By resisting the Yuan Dynasty, we can gather the morale of the army."
"Wrong! Big mistake! Do you think that fighting against the Yuan Dynasty can gather military morale? Can you build the Dragon and Phoenix Song Dynasty? It was okay at the beginning, but what about later? After surviving, who doesn't think about fertile land and beautiful women, and wants to join the Song Dynasty?
To be promoted to a noble position, to be rich and powerful? Even Chen Youliang, the emperor, can do this?" Liu Futong was talking like crazy.
Wuxu asked, "So, we are going to use this spiritual conjuring technique to control the spiritual thoughts of mortals in the hope of uniting our will? Or even if we are a red scarf army and die as a red scarf ghost?"
Liu Futong replied, "Welcome Maitreya Buddha to the earth, and everyone returns to the paradise world. This is the basic teaching of our White Lotus Sect. Instilling teachings to those ignorant believers is just a convenient method. Not only Buddhism has this truth, but spiritual thoughts are also called
There is also such a method in the art. Those who believe in it will have eternal life. The whole sect will go up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire together, and run towards the bright world."
"But what you established is still an emperor and a court. How can all living beings be equal?" Wuxu interjected in a low voice.
Liu Futong hurriedly walked up to Wuxu, "Originally, there were only Presbyterians in the religion, but later on, the rebel army became larger and larger, and the believers became more and more complex. Without an emperor and a court, how can we convince the people and how can we conduct the Northern Expedition?"
"This is a betrayal of the original teachings." Wu Xu said quietly.
Liu Futong laughed, his eyes were sparkling, and his sleeves were trembling, "Master, this is what I said before. If you can do this, drive away the Yuan thieves and restore the Han Dynasty, the Han people will no longer be the two-legged sheep, isn't it?
Is this a good thing? It’s like when you are on the march and fighting, you told the sergeants that if you capture the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, you will not be prohibited from military law for three days. Every soldier will move forward bravely, risking his own life. After the city is captured, a ban will be issued. Why not?"
"This is the same as in the Hua Dharma Sutra, where the elder promised the white elephant jewels to make his young son leave the burning house." Finally, Liu Futong said quietly.
"As long as the purpose is noble, the means can be flexible." Wuxu also said quietly.
At this time, Zhao Tong came out with Han Lin'er and Han Kuang, who were disguised as ordinary refugees.
Wuxu took Zhao Tong and others away. As he walked out, he sent a message to Liu Futong, "Now, in reality, maybe you are right. However, do fellow Taoists really want to die here? Don't you want to start over somewhere else?"
"
Liu Futong replied, "If I leave, what will happen to the brothers below? Zhu Yuanzhang has long rejected the White Lotus Sect. So what if I leave? What about the White Lotus brothers who have followed me in all directions over the years?"
Wuxu stopped, turned around and looked at Liu Futong. There was a raging fire hidden in the calmness, and a little loneliness and anger buried in the freedom. He put his palms together and said, "I died for the teachings in my heart. Finally, there is a beginning and an end. The young monk admires it, although the young monk does not
I must agree with this teaching."
..
In the Black Dragon Hall, Liu Futong was wandering in front of the four-sided screens, talking to himself, suddenly laughing, waving his hands, and shooting out white lights. The four-sided screens floated in the air, making whining sounds. After a while, the four-sided screens landed on the ground,
Becoming bigger and darker, some demon cultivators from the East China Sea Demon Alliance were all refined.
Liu Futong, who seemed to be hundreds of years younger, was sitting on a stone chair. He realized that Chen Xuanli and others who were stationed at the east, west, south and north gates of Anfeng had already dug tunnels to the Black Dragon Palace according to the plan, so he cast spells without any distractions.
Wuxu led Zhao Tong, Han Lin'er and others, holding the golden arrow given by Liu Futong, and quietly left Anfeng City. Suddenly he felt that the evil spirit was soaring in the city behind him. Looking back, he saw that the east, west, north and south were connected. The Black Dragon Hall where Liu Futong was located
In the direction, there is a line of green smoke rising, carrying thousands of thoughts, forming a huge blue-black cloud, appearing and disappearing over Anfeng City.
As the saying goes
Whether mortals are really ignorant, the doctrine of salvation must be convenient.
It's not difficult for Buddha to comment. Blue and black clouds are looming.
