The days when I was working in the West Factory

Chapter 490 Atonement
"Old monk, you are..."

Seeing that more than 3000 people had recovered, Zhao Yu immediately wanted to take them out of the purgatory.

But at this moment, the old monk didn't intend to leave, instead he walked a little into the cave, sat cross-legged on the cold ground, and clasped his hands together.

"The cause of evil is all caused by Shaolin, and the fruit of evil must be tasted by monks."

The old monk looked at the dark crypt in front of him, and said to Zhao Yu in a low voice: "The benefactor's action is of great merit, but it seems that the heavens have the virtue of good life, the old monk licked his face and begged the benefactor to leave a little incense from Shaolin!"

Although the words of the old monk were cloudy and foggy, Zhao Yu still understood the meaning.

He knew very well in his heart that Zhao Yu had traveled all the way and specially selected those sect gangs with quite a heritage to attack.

The purpose is to cut off the martial arts from the middle. In this way, it will not take a hundred years, at most 30 years, and there will be no masters in the world.

At first the old monk didn't understand, but seeing the thousands of 'demons' suppressed in the cave, the old monk suddenly understood.

Although Zhao Yu's actions were somewhat bloody, in the long run, it might not be a good thing for the common people in the world.

The purpose of founding the Shaolin school is not to dominate the martial arts world, but to promote Buddhism. The inheritance of martial arts left by Patriarch Bodhidharma is not to compete for fame and fortune, but to protect the Dharma and subdue demons.

It's just that with the passage of time and Shaolin's emphasis on martial arts, the path of practice has gone astray.

"Can you guarantee that Shaolin Temple will not have a second non-precept?"

Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the old monk who was sitting upright.

It is not difficult to bypass Shaolin, but since this place is a master of martial arts, after leaving a trace of inheritance, there is no guarantee that there will be no troubles.

"The benefactor still remembers Xuanci?"

The great monk didn't look back, but asked softly.

Xuanci?

Zhao Yu was taken aback for a moment, isn't this the last time Jiang Yuyan was judged by the world's martial arts, it was really Shaolin's host...

Zhao Yu didn't answer, just nodded.

"The child of Abbot Xuanci is now in Shaolin Temple. Although he is dull, he has a deep connection with Buddhism..."

"Void Bamboo?"

Zhao Yu suddenly remembered that that guy was swallowed by Jiang Yuyan's internal strength and cultivation, but he didn't hurt his life.

Although the father somewhat discredited the Shaolin Temple, he was the only blood of the abbot after all, and the Shaolin Temple could accommodate him.

"That's a good idea..."

Zhao Yu nodded immediately without waiting for the great monk to speak.

Others don't talk about it, this Xu Zhu can easily find out from Zhao Yu's memory and several times of contact that his obsession with Buddhism far surpasses martial arts.

After being abolished, this guy devoted himself to studying Buddhism even more.

He would be a good choice.

……

Zhao Yu led more than 3000 people out of the wooden man alley, just as Zhao Yu passed the eighteen bronze men guarding the pass.

When the 18 people saw thousands of people behind Zhao Yu, the leader sighed slightly and did not stop them.

All the way out of the other garden, came to the lion forest.

The strong smell of blood was still in the air, and the Shaolin monks stared at Bu Jingyun, Erha and others not far away with red eyes.

The killing intent in the eyes of these monks was a bit sharper than that of ordinary gangsters.

Martial arts is a process of refining qi, blood and bones. The more qi and blood there are, the more agitated the heart will be. This cannot be calmed down by reciting the scriptures twice.

"Evil... Evil ghost?!"

After seeing those monks, the thousands of people behind Zhao Yu turned pale with fright. Even with Zhao Yu in front, they were too shivering to go forward.

Thirteen years ago, it was a person like these bald monks who robbed them from the surrounding farmers' houses.

He personally beheaded more than 1000 children's heads in front of them, and then the man was tired of killing, so he used the poison of the curse of a thousand future lives on them.

For 13 years, people and ghosts lived in the dark cavern, and they spent 13 years in a daze.

Really can't live, can't die!
So at this moment, seeing those monks with red eyes again, and those people who had just escaped behind them, I couldn't help but feel fear in my heart.

"Two ha."

Zhao Yu didn't move, but stood behind the monks and shouted.

Erha quickly passed the monk in the middle and came to Zhao Yu.

"Lead a team and move these classics out of the Sutra Pavilion. Don't miss any of them!"

Zhao Yu reached into his bosom and took out a palm-sized white silk. On this white silk, the names of ancient books were densely written.

This white silk was torn off by the old monk from under his monk's robe, and the classics recorded on it, either explicitly or secretly, contained Shaolin's martial arts treasures.

The old monk has been sweeping the Sutra Pavilion for more than 40 years, so he naturally knows all the classics in the Sutra Pavilion.

"Leader!"

Erha took the white silk, and immediately beckoned, more than 20 yakshas stood up behind him, and followed Erha towards the scripture-depositing pavilion.

Seeing Zhao Yu giving orders as if no one was around, and as soon as he came up, he was going to take all the Shaolin martial arts classics in one pot.

Naturally, those chief seats and elders quit.

The head of the Bodhidharma Academy even poked the tin stick in his hand heavily on the ground, and shouted: "All the monks will follow me to protect the Dharma and subdue demons!"

Following the words of the head of the Bodhidharma Academy, the remaining people immediately picked up the equipment in their hands, and aggressively stopped Erha and the others.

But at this time, Zhao Yu looked at Bu Jingyun unhurriedly, and said softly: "Kill!"

The cold light flickered, and the sword energy was vertical and horizontal.

Bu Jingyun held the sword in one hand, and the sword light shot out from the sword of defeat, and went straight to kill the monks.

The leading elders shot immediately, trying to stop Bu Jingyun.

Unexpectedly, when they stepped five steps away from Jin Jingyun's body, their bodies seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, and they were frozen in place.

Even Zhao Yu grinned at Bu Jingyun's talent.

After so many fierce battles, this guy's swordsmanship is almost the same as that of the sword master outside Wushuang City.

The sword intent exuded by the Sword of Defeat already vaguely has the embryonic form of Sword 23.

Within five steps, generally warriors who cannot break free from the entanglement of his sword energy will fall into the alien space covered by the sword 23 and be slaughtered by others.

Apart from Bu Jingyun, other Yashas also shot at this time, and when the black sword was raised, someone's head fell to the ground.

……

In the capital, a fast horse galloped in from Dongzhimen.

The soldiers guarding the gate saw the apricot-yellow flag on the horse's back, and immediately scolded the surrounding soldiers and civilians to make way, and then opened the middle gate.

On top of the horses, a postman held the reins tightly in one hand, and held a scroll of imperial seals in the other, and rushed straight into Dongzhimen.

The men and horses did not rest, and came all the way to the gate of Chengtian.

The postman got off his horse and ran quickly towards Chengtian Gate, shouting as he ran, "Tianjin Wei urgent report!"

When he came to Chengtian Gate, a guard blocked the postman's way and asked, "Where did the urgent report come from?"

"Tianjin Wei, Division of Military Warfare!"

The man came in front of the guard, held up the imperial seal scroll in his hand, and said loudly.

Military Division...

When I heard these three words before, I guess it felt like a trivial matter, but now hearing these three words, the guarding captain trembled all over.

More than a month ago.The earth-shattering battle in the imperial city was still ahead, and what shocked everyone was the new firearms displayed by the Bing Zhansi.

The current Bingzhangsi, no matter in the eyes of the emperor or in the hearts of all the officials, is extremely important.

Even the commander-in-chief of the Nine Sides had to nod and bow his head when facing the head of the military battle department who was supposed to be only the fifth rank!
"Let's go!"

The captain briefly checked the postman, and immediately asked his men to open the side door.

And when the side door just opened, a young eunuch in brocade clothes also walked out quickly, and immediately stepped forward when he saw the postman holding the imperial seal.

"Quick, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, come with us!"

The eunuch who passed the decree led the postmen, walked quickly into Chengtian Gate, walked through the dragon road all the way, and came directly to the front of Fengtian Hall.

"Eunuch, this..."

Seeing that the eunuch wanted to move forward, the postman hesitated a little.

His family's ancestors have been postmen for several generations, and even such things as the fall of the Nine Frontiers and the rebellion of the vassal kings have been passed on.

But I have never heard of postmen who can enter the Golden Palace!
Looking at the posture of the father-in-law who passed the decree, he had no intention of taking over the urgent report of the emperor's seal in his hand at all.

"Your Majesty has a decree that you enter the palace to face the Lord!"

The eunuch passing the decree glanced at the stalled postman, then whispered.

"what?!"

The postman's eyes widened, completely confused about what happened.

"Ah, what, do you want His Majesty to come out and invite you in person?"

The eunuch delivering the decree was already a little anxious, looking at the hesitant postman at this moment, he scolded in a low voice angrily.

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

The postman shook his head again and again, then walked a few steps quickly, following in the footsteps of the eunuch passing the decree.

Fortunately, after the eunuch who passed the decree went up the steps, he did not walk towards Fengtian Hall, but came to a side hall.

Seeing that it was the side hall, the postman was relieved.

In his eyes, it is impossible for the side hall to be as high as the main hall.

But what he didn't understand was that since the former Emperor Taizu, all the officials in the world wanted to enter this side hall.

It is true that Fengtian Hall is the main hall of the courtiers, and those who may enter this side hall are the central officials and the emperor's confidants.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Tianjin guards are waiting outside the hall of the Post Office."

The eunuch who passed the decree came to the side hall, and did not push the door to go in immediately, but moved to the crack of the door and said softly.

In the side hall, the lady on duty at the door listened to this, turned around, bowed and walked quickly from one side to the bottom of the Jiulong steps.

"Your Majesty, people have arrived outside the palace."

Following the words of the eunuch on duty, everyone present all looked over.

Jiang Yuyan nodded, and Yaoyue, who was standing beside her, waved her hand.

The little eunuch bent down and retreated nine steps, then turned around and walked quickly to the gate, and slowly opened the side door of the side hall with another little eunuch.

Of course it was a side door, so could it be possible for the new emperor to open the middle door to welcome a postman?
As the side door opened, the postman lowered his head and stepped into the side hall with a feeling of disbelief.

I don't know if it was because the threshold was too high or because he was nervous. When the postman entered the side hall, he staggered.

It was also fortunate that the eunuch on duty had sharp eyesight and quick hands, otherwise it would have been a lot of fun if he came to the emperor's sight for the first time.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the head of the War Division has sent a villain to spread the word that 36 huge ships have already taken shape..."

As he spoke, the postman raised his hands above his head with the imperial seal and silk silk in his hand.

Lian Xing walked down quickly, took the silk from the postman, then quickly returned to Jiang Yuyan's side, and handed the silk over.

The silk unfolded slowly, depicting a huge intricate ship.

Although its majesty cannot be seen on the silk, but just looking at the outline makes people feel refreshed.

And these are the things that Zhao Yu entrusted Afa Bingzhangsi to develop when he left the capital.

Although the new dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, it is not inexhaustible.

And Zhao Yu understands that at this time, sea transportation is the biggest cornucopia. As long as the sea transportation is opened, the economy will make great progress along the coast and the canal.

Of course, Zhao Yu's sea transportation is different from the stalwart that Master Zheng went west to promote the Middle Earth Celestial Dynasty in the Yongle period.

When Mr. Zheng went to the West, he almost walked all the way and saw him off all the way.

Almost half of the rare items such as silk porcelain and tea leaves on dozens of merchant ships were given away for nothing.

This is completely contrary to Zhao Yu's philosophy.His mind is to exchange for the most lucrative reward with the least price.

When Zhao Yu saw the smoke and soil that those foreign merchants sent to Fengtian Hall, he knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer.

The man bumped into the muzzle of his own gun and cleaned him up by himself.But who can guarantee that once the shipping starts, will someone continue to risk beheading to smuggle that thing in?
After Jiang Yuyan read it, she handed over the silk.

Zhang Wei glanced at it a few times, but thought it looked pretty good. As for the way of it, he couldn't tell clearly.

After all, for him as the chief assistant, how to fool the land in the hands of nobles is a serious matter.

The silk was passed to the Minister of the Ministry of War, and after a few glances at it, the guy pointed out the disadvantages.

It's just that this guy is also an old man. It can be seen that the emperor is very interested in this thing, so he didn't point out the disadvantages.

It’s just that the proportion of fine iron on this ship is so huge, it may be unrealistic to sail only with sails and manpower.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the postman kneeling on the ground told him exactly what Ah Fa had taught him before he left.

Naturally, everyone was at a loss when they heard it, but as officials in the court, especially in front of the emperor, even if they really didn't understand, they still had to pretend to be enlightened.

……

Zhao Yu left Shaoshi Mountain and stayed in the small town at the foot of the mountain for one night.

Early the next morning, when Zhao Yu was still planning to continue heading south, a muslin falcon landed on his horse.

Zhao Yu took the bamboo tube from Xin Falcon's lap, and took out the secret note inside.

"So fast?"

After seeing clearly what was recorded above, Zhao Yudu suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Originally, in his opinion, it was impossible to have any clues about what he told Ah Fa within three to five months.

But I don't think, it's only been less than half a month, this guy has already made a fuss.

Then, Zhao Yu gave in and Jingyun continued southward with all the Yashas, ​​while he took Erha, Huameng, and the more than 3000 people, turned the waterway and went straight to Tianjinwei.
