There is drizzle in the sky, like cow hair, like flower needles, like filaments, densely woven diagonally.
The raindrops gently penetrated the yarn and fell one after another without making a sound.
A huge transparent bead curtain hangs in the misty sky, hazy, like rising puffs of smoke.
In the rain, there were several wicker hats sparsely displayed.
No one said anything, just letting the raindrops fall and hit the ground.
"Those who kill are those who slaughter people with bloody hands!"
On top of a huge pothole with a radius of one kilometer, there is a character pattern formed by huge rocks.
"Exiled Immortal, what an Exiled Immortal! He is indeed capable of things that others cannot do!"
An old man from Eguan, with a long beard and five strands of beard, an elegant and simple face, and wearing a generous brocade robe, which makes his taller than ordinary figure even more majestic, giving him the air of an elegant hermit.
.
"It is unbelievable that such a large meditation monastery disappeared overnight without leaving any trace."
Ning Daoqi, nicknamed, is known as the number one person in the Central Plains. He is one of the three great masters of martial arts together with the Goguryeo martial arts master Celin and the foreign martial arts master Bi Xuan. He even slightly outperformed the other two in the round table night banquet master battle.
Become worthy of the name.
A woman standing on the other side had a heavy face and spoke: "According to the people who survived the Zen monastery, that person also warned him before leaving, but many masters still did not leave because they had unfaithful intentions.
.”
After Mo Fei dropped his words and left yesterday, half of the people chose to run away because of fear, while the other half of the people either did it because they were lucky, or because of their local feelings for Jing Nian Zen Monastery, or because it was right.
Empty faith, unwilling to leave.
"Feixuan, you have dealt with him before. Didn't you say that he doesn't look like a murderous person? Why is he doing such a crazy thing now?" The leading woman, who was standing at the front, stood beside the pothole and said softly.
Speak softly.
She has been standing here for a long time.
It was her plan to expose the news that Mo Fei controlled Yang Guang, but she never thought that it would harm Master Kong and hundreds of people in Jing Nian Zen Monastery.
Because of this, she felt guilty.
"Master!" Shi Feixuan said with bitterness on her face: "When I got along with him, he was indeed not a murderous person, but his temper was slightly weird, even full of... childishness, and he randomly adapted me
According to Buddhist scriptures, chatting and joking with the concubine..."
"Perhaps it was a childlike person who did what he did just now. In their eyes, if something is happy and interesting, then do it. If it angers them, then he will not hesitate to kill people and talk to children.
Just like children, they have neither good nor evil in their hearts. They will neither do good things nor evil things. They only care about whether it is fun or not and whether anyone blocks their way."
"It's my fault!" Fan Qinghui's eyes flashed with sadness, and she said, "If it wasn't for me that angered him, why would the Chanyuan suffer the disaster it did today! But I don't regret exposing that person's face. It's my fault.
, just because we underestimated his madness, underestimated his intelligence methods, and knew the whereabouts of Heshibi in advance, but did not let the Zen Academy make preparations as soon as possible."
For Fan Qinghui, Li Shimin was the destined emperor, with a huge advantage in Guanzhong, and he was even more amazing and talented. Only Li Shimin could end the troubled times and give the people of the world a peaceful environment. To this end, even if he uses any means,
That's right, everyone in the world is important.
Therefore, even if there is no conclusive evidence about Mo Fei's control of Yang Guang, there are only some rumors, that is enough for Buddhism to use against Mo Fei.
After all, the royal way that Mo Fei's disciple Kou Zhong carried out in Liyang, Danyang and other places frightened the big landowners, nobles and nobles in the world, as well as Cihang Jingzhai and other Buddhists.
Kou Zhong confiscated land, slaves, gold, and bronze from the Buddhist sects under his command, strictly limited the size of temples, and even issued an ultimatum system, requiring permission to become a monk.
The ultimatum system was invented in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It was a certificate issued by the government to monks and nuns. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the records of monks and nuns were under the control of the ancestral temple department, and the ancestral temple department issued ultimatums. All monks and nuns with ultimatums were exempted from local taxes and corvees. The government could sell ultimatums.
Its income is used to cover military and administrative expenses.
During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guozhong sent Cui Zhong, the imperial censor, to Taiyuan to collect money from monks, nuns and Taoists, and received ten thousand yuan in ten days. In the fourth year of peace in the Song Dynasty, Emperor Yingzong of the Song Dynasty granted a thousand pieces of ultimatum to the Shaanxi transportation department and grain relief, all for the benefit of the ultimatum.
After Shi Nandu, military expenditures increased significantly, and the income from ultimatums became a major source of government income.
When becoming a monk becomes something that requires a lot of money, then it will definitely not become popular in this world.
In the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui Dynasty, Buddhism, which was accustomed to dominating and not even paying much attention to aristocratic families, could bear to have such a thick rope tied around its neck?
At that time, many riots caused by monks broke out in Kouzhong territory.
After Kouzhong suppressed these riots, he issued a proclamation and earnestly consoled other monks: "You don't even have the courage to give up all your aduwu for the Buddha. Why do you say you love the Buddha?"
"You have never seen the Buddha personally come down to earth to introduce someone to the Western Paradise. It's because you people can become monks casually. Anyone can become a monk... Why, you are worthy of being an individual.
The great joy of the Western Paradise? Money is nothing more than the things outside the body. When you enter Buddhism, all four elements will be empty. Only by giving up money can you study Buddhism painstakingly and gain the favor of the Buddha. He will lead you into the Western Paradise as soon as possible. I, Kou Zhong, am willing to sacrifice my reputation.
, turns into an external demon and tests your devotion to the Buddha."
Not to mention, Kou Zhong's statement also resonated with a small number of Buddhist disciples.
He happily paid the money and purchased the ultimatum, and from then on he became a good monk under Kou Zhong.
Of course, there are only a few people who truly have the heart to worship Buddha. Nowadays, most monks in the Sui Dynasty world become monks because Buddhism does not pay taxes, does not pay corvees, and avoids laws. These people will not be dizzy.
They handed over all their money in exchange for an ultimatum. What they wanted was a life of fine clothing and fine food, but without money, where would the wine ponds, meat forests, fine wines and jade liquid come from?
As a result, Kou Zhong could only help the Buddha to save these thieves who had no heart towards the Buddha at all.
So comparing Li Shimin and Kou Zhongyi, even a fool would know who to choose Cihang Jingzhai.
"Master!" A trace of confusion flashed in Shi Feixuan's eyes, and she said, "If he... is powerful enough to wipe out the Zen Yuan, then do we really want to continue to fight against him?"
In erasing the Jing Nian Monastery, the power Mo Fei displayed exceeded Shi Fei Xuan's imagination. In her understanding, no matter how powerful a person is, even a person with the ability to break the void, should not be so powerful.
.
"After all, he is my opponent. I also know him from Master Jiaxiang and Master Daoxin." Ning Daoqi said: "This person's cultivation level has not yet entered the realm of Shattered Void. He is just on par with me, maybe better.
I have a few, but it’s certainly not too much, so don’t be too afraid.”
"Zhenren Ning, how do you explain the scene in front of you?" a woman asked.
"I don't know, maybe he borrowed some magical artifact!" Ning Daoqi sighed.
He will face such an opponent in the future, and Ning Dodge is the main force, so he will be under great pressure!
Fan Qinghui stood on the site of the Jing Nian Zen Monastery and said: "We don't know how he did it, but I guess he didn't pay the price himself. Otherwise, he would have been able to do it all by himself.
If the world is determined, why do you want to control the tyrant Yang Guang and use some despicable means?"
"Looking at him just coming to Luoyang and running away in such a hurry, it is enough to know that he is not without some fear of my Buddhist sect. Otherwise, he could have waited for us in Luoyang, so why bother to return to Jiangdu?"
"Keep going as planned!"
…
"You are finally back!" Dugu Feng looked at Mo Fei and Zhu Yuyan who had returned, feeling relieved.
She had not had an easy time in the two days before Mo Fei and Zhu Yuyan came back.
No matter how mediocre and incompetent Yang Guang is, he is still the biggest banner in the world and has huge influence on current affairs.
No matter from which aspect you look at it, the complete collapse of the Sui Dynasty began with the death of Yang Guang.
Before Yang Guang died, the Sui Dynasty still controlled the second half of the world.
There were still quite a few loyal ministers and righteous men of the Sui Dynasty who gathered under the banner of Yang Guang. As soon as they heard that Yang Guang might be under control, there was an unknown amount of undercurrent surging under the calm water of Jiangdu.
After the battle between the Xiaoguo Army and the Jianghuai Army, Xu Xingzhi and Shen Luoyan temporarily went to Kou Zhong's territory to help Kou Zhong with post-war construction. Dugu Feng could only act as a fire extinguisher, solving problems wherever they went.
She is not as good at solving problems as Xu Xingzhi and Shen Luoyan, but she is still better at solving people who raise problems.
In just two days, her murderous skills were almost weak.
Fortunately, after all, there are still a majority of people who are aware of current affairs, and this has temporarily stabilized Jiangdu's shaky ship.
"Thank you for your hard work, Feng'er." Murphy smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Dugu Feng's head.
"I only pursue martial arts. Indiscriminate killing is not my goal. Next time you need to go out, don't ask me to guard you because you are worthy of me." Dugu Feng rolled his eyes at Mo Fei and stretched out his arms lazily.
A lazy person said.
Dugufeng is a very pure person. In her eyes, power and wealth are nothing, so killing is definitely not what she wants.
This time too, I was forced to put the duck on the shelf. I had no choice but to temporarily act as a butcher.
After all, Murphy handed Jiangdu into her hands, so she couldn't return the mess that Murphy made, right?
The current situation in Jiangdu is not very good, and it definitely cannot be called bad.
"Okay!" Mo Fei nodded and said, "Next time, I will take you out to play and let Yuyan stay."
"Come on, let's go out to play with you... Do you think I'm as good-tempered as Sister Zhu?" Dugu Feng snorted lightly, threw the watch on his left wrist to Murphy, and said: "In this incident, those who should
I have killed all those who were killed, and I have left some issues that I cannot handle for you to deal with. These matters will be recorded by Wei Lianxiang, and you can find someone to take over, while I go to practice martial arts!"
Dugufeng felt that letting herself handle government affairs was simply making things difficult for her, Shizuka.
If she hadn't had the Red Queen as an adviser this time, I'm afraid something big would have happened.
Fortunately, she has a loyal younger brother like Yu Wen, otherwise she would not be able to find enough people to support her even if she wanted to interfere in the government affairs.
What makes Dugu Feng feel a little chilled is that before such a big change, Dugu Clan did not choose to support her, but pretended to be deaf and mute and stood still, which almost made her angry to death.
Do those people, now in their current situation, still think they have other possibilities to take sides?
It’s simply short-sighted!
This completely chilled Dugu Feng. She didn't care what happened to the Dugu Clan in the future.
Anyway, with her here, it is impossible for Mo Fei to choose to kill the Dugu Clan, leaving them a way to survive is no problem. As far as she is concerned, this is enough.
As far as the foreign policy shown by the Dugu clan is concerned, if they are given too many things, they will not be able to protect them, and sooner or later they will cause even greater trouble.
"Feng'er is still so straightforward!" Zhu Yuyan couldn't help laughing.
Murphy touched his nose, looking slightly embarrassed, and said, "Don't worry about her. You go and settle Shuni down first. I'll get to know the general situation first."
Mo Fei sat alone in the palace, thinking carefully about what to do next through Wei Lianxiang's description and the analysis of the Red Queen's assistant.
"I heard them say that you are back." A slightly timid voice came from outside the hall.
Mo Fei looked up and saw that Xiao was coming.
She was wearing a golden cloud-colored damask woven with colorful flowers and flying butterflies, with red jewels on the collar. Her slender waist was tied up with a bright red brocade. The brocade was embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns with gold threads, and her lower body was dressed in gold.
The gauze skirt is made of thread and the skirt is embroidered with a phoenix pattern with gold thread. The whole person is very noble.
Her ink-like hair is pulled up into a fan-shaped high bun, and she wears a gold-plated phoenix hairpin, a silver-gilt butterfly hairpin with treasures inlaid on it, a Chaoyang five-phoenix hairpin with pearls, and a red gold plate with chi and a hoop, all of which are used by the best craftsmen.
Made of the best materials, it fits Empress Xiao's temperament very well.
Mo Fei stretched out his hand and Empress Xiao screamed and flew into his arms.
"Well, I'm back!" Mo Fei hugged Empress Xiao's waist as thin as a willow tree, buried his head in Empress Xiao's chest, and took a deep breath of the fragrance.
Empress Xiao held Murphy's head and asked softly: "What's wrong? Is this trip not going well?"
"A little bit...I didn't originally want to kill so many people, but I didn't expect them to seek death themselves." Murphy sighed.
If Buddhism didn't tell Yang Guang's story, he doesn't know how much effort he would have saved.
"Don't be anxious, take it step by step, and things will eventually be solved." Empress Xiao patted Mo Fei's back gently, exuding a water-like tenderness all over her body, and said softly: "Be careful and it will hurt your health!"
With Empress Xiao's intelligence, she could certainly see the hostility in Mo Fei.
"I know!" Mo Fei smelled the body fragrance coming from Empress Xiao's body, felt the tenderness of Empress Xiao's skin as the two of them touched each other, and the hidden anger in his heart actually disappeared by three points.
