0655 Uncle has little education, please don’t lie to me.
The two of them walked eastward happily.
After walking for a few days, I felt something was wrong.
Yu Xian listened to the conversation among the people in the market and asked with a confused look, "Yuan Zhi, where are we?"
Xu Shu has traveled around the world for many years and knows the surrounding geography very well.
Hearing this, he replied, "Dongguan!"
"Dongguan?!" Yu Xian was shocked, "Why did you bring me here?"
According to what Xu Shu said before, if they wanted to bypass Pengcheng State, which was heavily stationed with troops, it would be best to go east to Qingzhou first, and then go south.
Based on Yu Xian's understanding, Xu Shu was planning to take a detour to Shandong and enter Jiangsu.
But we agreed to go to Shandong? How did this horse riding bring me to Guangdong?
Do all Confucians do things this thoughtfully?
Besides, how many days have you been gone?
Xu Shu said calmly, "Looking for a few people."
Yu Xian quickly waved his hands and said, "It's not suitable. This one is not suitable. Several of them are not suitable either."
Xu Shu seemed to feel that there was something wrong with his communication with his uncle, so he had to reveal a little bit, "I heard that Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was hiding from the war in Langya Kingdom, and I planned to look for it. This Dongguan County is in Langya Kingdom.
In the north, at the junction of the four states of Yan, Xu, Qing, and Henan, the information is relatively well-informed."
Yu Xian still looked confused, "Yuanzhi, you said this is Langya Kingdom? My uncle is not well-educated, so don't lie to me."
Xu Shu suddenly had a black line on his face.
Is there anything wrong with this?
Yu Xian smoothed over his chaotic thoughts and thought about Cao Cao's attitude towards people like Zuo Ci, so he didn't want to deal with him for the time being.
"If so, then I should go to Xiapi first?"
Xu Shu quickly added, "There is a man in the county named Xu Yi, also known as Jicai. He is an old friend of mine. I just happened to take my uncle to get acquainted with him."
When Yu Xian heard it, he was actually impressed by the name.
Isn't this the one who gave Yu Xian his orders when he was in Yingchuan Academy?
Yu Xian didn't remember what this guy was like in history. He just saw him kneeling respectfully and gave him a few words of encouragement.
Was he talking about a general or a prefect?
Yu Xian scratched his head a little.
However, he is not worried that the future will not be fulfilled, because Yu Xian still remembers the trajectories of those important figures very clearly.
When this circle rises according to history, the people who were forcibly connected by Yu Xian's iron words will definitely get the opportunity to ascend to heaven.
Because they are the same kind of people, they will naturally unite to suppress those who are different.
Yu Xian immediately said, "I met this man at Yingchuan Academy a few days ago. If we count the time, he won't be able to come back in time."
Xu Shu was a little surprised when he heard this, thought for a while, and then continued, "There is a scholar in the county, Qi Wujun, who studied "Gongyang Zhuan". Guangling Prefect Zhao Yu once studied under him. Zhao Yu had some problems under Tao Qian's command.
Hey, maybe we can get some help from him."
Yu Xian hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not refuse.
The two then went to visit Qi Wujun. As expected, Qi Wujun was very unhappy with the Buddhism that was emerging in Xuzhou. After hearing what Xu Shu said, he was happy to write a letter to help persuade Zhao Yu.
The only fly in the ointment is that Xu Shu loudly and proudly introduced Yu Xian’s identity to Qi Wujun, and also inquired about Cao Song’s whereabouts.
Yu Xian was shocked when his identity was revealed by Xu Shu, but after being nervous for a long time, he didn't feel like he was being targeted and faced a disaster.
Then I thought that I had reached some kind of compromise with the biggest source of terror, the "Emperor's Lady", and that I was going to Xuzhou this time to deal with Buddhism with the intention of seeking cooperation, so I didn't care so much about other things.
Meilan is on her way back and should be in no mood to care about anything else.
The Buddhists are already ready to quarrel with each other.
As for the Wushan goddess marking herself...
Probably just out of collecting obsession, I told a few others that I also tried it.
Yu Xian comforted himself, which relieved his nervous mood.
After leaving Langya Kingdom, there is Donghai Kingdom, and further south is Xiapi. Along the way, as Yu Xian expected, the people were miserable.
Xuzhou suffered a military disaster during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. When the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou revolted for the second time, many rebels also rushed into Xuzhou.
It just so happened that these years were not going well, and even the two wealthy people were having a hard time. Yuan Shu was so embarrassed that his soldiers dug snails for food, while Yuan Shaoze ate mulberries every day, which made him angry.
So when Yu Xian and Xu Shu saw the Futu Temple outside Xiapi City, they were silent for a while.
Still far away, the two of them saw the nine-story pagoda in the temple. Under the rays of the setting sun, the eaves and corners decorated with rare treasures shone brightly.
Stepping into the temple is the Buddhist hall, with its many carved columns and attic halls, which looks like it can accommodate thousands of people.
For some Buddha statues that are still under construction, craftsmen are hammering gold into thin sheets and pasting them on the surface. The setting sun shines through the carved wooden window lattice, mottled the golden light on those Buddha statues.
There are colorful murals around each Buddha statue, describing their great power and great merits. Many ragged craftsmen are making final repairs before dark.
Along the way, a large number of monks and nuns were ordained in the temple.
Perhaps they have become more pious after witnessing the hardships of ordinary believers with their own eyes.
After enjoying the offerings from the people, many monks began to look at those offering incense with a superior eye, like looking at pigs and sheep.
Yu Xian and Xu Shu watched for a while, and then a monk came up to ask for alms.
The two of them were naturally too lazy to pay attention. The monk left with a smile, but said to himself, "If you don't cultivate in this life, I'm afraid you will suffer the pain of the eighteen levels of hell after death. In the next life, you will be transformed into an animal."
Yu Xian calmly watched the monk leave and asked Xu Shu, "When is the Buddha Bathing Festival?"
Xu Shu did the math and gave an answer, "About half a month later."
After saying that, Xu Shu looked at Yu Xian and smiled, "Does uncle believe what he just said?"
Yu Xian's eyes were fixed on a certain part of the palace, and he said disdainfully, "I believe his grandma is stupid, I'm still painting on the wall!"
Xu Shu followed Yu Xian's gaze and looked over.
There is also a Buddha there, but the Buddha is just a rough model, not yet finished, not yet carved, and covered with fabric.
The Buddha seemed to be holding something, but it was obscured and could not be seen clearly.
Xu Shu then looked at the completed mural at the back.
There is a picture of Buddha with a ferocious face, holding down a moving goddess in his hand, doing indescribable things.
There are several murals, and they seem to have an order. I don’t know what they express.
Xu Shu looked at Yu Xian again and scratched his head, wondering what this uncle meant.
He thought for a while, continued his topic, and reminded calmly, "But many people believe it. They lose their money and do nothing, and they are willing to believe in Zuo Rong."
