Datang Fenghua Road

Under the sun, a large number of bald heads are very dazzling.

"Master Hou, here comes a group of monks!" Yuchi Baolin breathed a sigh of relief. He jumped off his horse and said with a smile, "It looks like they are all from the Central Plains, not the bald donkeys of the Western Regions, so there shouldn't be any danger. It's also strange that these monks don't stay in the Central Plains to eat fast food and recite Buddha, why do they come to this bitter cold place in the northeast? Look at their riding posture, all of them are warrior monks..."

Han Yue gave a "hmm", he was also very curious, and looked at the person with piercing eyes.

The other party's horse was not fast, and it took a long time to run for more than a mile. When the person approached within fifty paces, Han Yue suddenly discovered a strange thing. Among the more than 300 monks, almost all of them carried A small box, judging from the way the belly of the horse under their crotch was bent, the small box should be very heavy.

What can bend a horse in a small box?

Seems to be only gold!

"Is the Marquis of Jingyang in front?" An old monk sat on a horse, first glanced at Han Yue with cloudy eyes, and then asked aloud.

Han Yue let out a "huh", he had never seen any of these monks before, why did the other monks all look at him?These days, he has been staying by the river for construction, and he is also wearing ordinary clothes. The other party definitely does not determine his identity from the clothes.

"The Marquis of Jingyang has no doubts, the old monk Zhicao has seen your portrait at His Majesty's place, so I can recognize you at a glance. Haha, last year, the Marquis of Jingyang sent three gifts a day for Princess Jinyang's birthday last year, among which That portrait was named the smile of Princess Jinyang, and it is rumored that the painting is a treasure in the world. The old monk met His Majesty in Shanhaiguan a few days ago. Thanks to His Majesty’s generous gift, let me see this painting, and it is indeed a masterpiece.”

Han Yue felt abrupt in his heart, and always felt that the name Zhicao was very familiar, and Yuchi Baolin next to him whispered: "Master Hou, when His Majesty was named King of Qin, he led his troops to attack King Shichong of Luoyang, and the thirteen monks of Shaolin saved His Majesty's life. This old monk Zhicao is the owner of the Shaolin Temple and the leader of today's Buddhism..."

"It turned out to be him!" Han Yue's eyes flashed, and he secretly paid attention to it.

Fomen jumped out, what do you want to do?

Han Yue asked himself that he had no friendship with Buddhism, so he became more and more suspicious.

The old monk Zhicao's eyes seemed cloudy, but every time it flickered, the brilliance of wisdom loomed. He laughed and jumped off the horse, slowly walked to Han Yue, and folded his hands: "The Marquis of Jingyang is guessing the old man. Why did the monk come here?"

"Master is wise, and it is just that I don't understand what it means!"

"Without him, the old monk came here to seek a chance and to give up a piece of money, that's all!"

"What chance do you ask for? What kind of money do you give up?"

"Chance, also known as good karma, the old monk traveled thousands of miles away from the border, and naturally he wanted to form a good karma with the Marquis of Jingyang. As for giving up money, each of me and the three hundred monks carried a suitcase with [-] catties of gold inside. Jingyang Is Hou Ke satisfied?"

hiss--

There was a sound of cold air from the side!

Before Han Yue said it, Yuchi Jingde and a few cavalrymen had their eyes straight.

Each of the three hundred monks carries a hundred catties of gold, which adds up to 16 catties, 48 taels per catty, that is 720 taels, and one tael of gold and fifteen guan, that is [-] million guan.

But this is only a theoretical figure. In fact, no one is so stupid as to exchange 48 taels of gold for copper coins. This is something to suppress the treasury.

"Master, you and I are ruthless and ruthless, why are you giving away money for nothing?" Han Yue smiled and said meaningfully: "This Marquis once heard a sentence, eating people's mouth is short, holding people's hands is short..."

The old monk Zhicao laughed and said with his hands clasped together: "This statement seems vulgar, but it is actually very Zen, and the old monk also thinks it makes sense!"

The old man and the young man looked at each other, and they all let out a meaningful smile.

Chapter 264 Buddha also bribes, especially for women

"Master, although I'm stupid, I'm afraid I already know what your purpose is here. Hehe, you Buddhists like to talk about revealing words, and today I have a piece of explaining sayings to offer, what do you think?"

"Oh? The Marquis of Jingyang is famous all over the world. Everyone is called a genius. The old monk is a little curious. I should wash my ears with water and listen respectfully..."

Han Yue laughed, he bent down and picked up a piece of dry grass by the river and put it in his mouth. .

"Marquis of Jingyang, is it because you said the revealing words to let the old monk see you with withered grass in your mouth?"

"Ha! Your Buddhist family is like this. I haven't even started, but the master has already entered the role, which is really admirable!"

Han Yue sneered, he stood by the river with his hands behind his back, looked at the river, and suddenly asked in a faint voice.

"Master, can Buddha be greedy?"

Just this opening sentence made the old monk Zhicao's eyes focus, and it took a long time before he proclaimed the Buddha's name and bowed his head: "My Buddha is merciful, and I have no greed..."

"If you are not greedy, why do you want the world to worship?" Han Yue sneered again. He glanced at the old monk Zhicao, and continued before the other person could speak: "If the Buddha doesn't love vanity, why does the world want the world to worship? They say I have a heart Buddha, but Buddha has no self. I have suffered all the suffering in the world and asked Buddha how to get through it. Buddha said: Everything has a definite number. I laughed loudly: If I can’t help me, what’s the use of begging you?”

"Jingyang Hou seems to have a prejudice against my Buddha?"

Han Yue smiled lightly. He didn't take the old monk Zhicao's words. Instead, he followed his own thoughts and said with deep meaning: "The Buddha said that he saves all sentient beings, but I have never seen a Buddha cross anyone. When I am suffering, I help you. Every time when the times are troubled, your Buddhist schools will close the gates of the world and not ask about the world. And my Taoist school will lead the crowd out of the mountains to hang pots to help the world. When the times are peaceful and prosperous, your Buddhist schools all jumped out and shouted. The slogan of purifying all sentient beings is everywhere to save the world. And my Taoist family goes to the mountains and forests to learn the Taoist method..."

The old monk Zhicao's eyes flashed, his eyes seemed cloudy, but he was bright and restrained. He stared at Han Yue silently, and suddenly sighed for a long time, and said meaningfully: "I once heard that the Marquis of Jingyang was trained by the real Ziyang, the old monk originally thought this was the case. Spreading rumors based on falsehoods, it is unexpected that it is true!"

"No, no, no!" Han Yue waved his hand, with a leisurely smile on his face, and said lightly: "The Marquis slept with five girls the night before, and Taoism would not take in a lecher like me. I love to eat and drink , I love wealth, honor, and glory, and I have nothing to do with the world, I am just a layman in the world, covered in copper stench, and no one will mess with me!"

"The Marquis of Jingyang said that he was a layman, but the old monk felt that there was a great sense of Zen in your words. You are very good. You are a genius. There are many. Since Lord Hou has wisdom, why not pay respect to my Buddha? The old monk can give you a package ticket. You don’t need to leave home and fast, and you can still enjoy wealth and honor. There are also wonderful bodhisattva women in front of the Buddha. If Lord Hou really likes it, the old monk The master will send you a few..."

Han Yue laughed wildly and shouted loudly: "It's absurd! Others need the six roots to become a monk, so why do you open the door of convenience when you come to this Lord? The old saying goes I am afraid that the idea of ​​sending a female bodhisattva is not trivial, and the Marquis is timid by nature, I dare not ask for it, I am afraid that you will sell it!"

His words had deep meaning, alluding to some filthy things in the Buddhist family back then.During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, was obsessed with Buddhism, and he became a monk three times.Three times in a row, with huge sums of money, the country was finally depleted, and Emperor Liang Wu finally died of starvation.

"Jingyang Hou's words are like swords, this is a big prejudice against my Buddhist family..." Zhicao old monk clasped his hands together. Although he was nearly seventy years old, his face was a little shy, and what the Buddhist family did back then was really disgusting. Even the emperor can coax the business, and what else can't be done.

Han Yue looked up to the sky and laughed, and suddenly shouted sharply: "Master, I respect you for being young and virtuous, but I don't respect your Buddhist principles. What is a Buddha? If you say something ugly, this is paganism outside the country, corrupting people's hearts, and making money. , should be punished! If you don't see the Buddha crossing people, but only see the Buddha gilded, you should be destroyed!"

The word "Zhu" was full of murderous intentions, and the word "Mie" was thrown loudly. The three hundred monks behind Zhicao glared at each other, and one of them shouted: "Marquis Jingyang is arrogant, aren't you afraid that disaster will come out of your mouth?"

Han Yueniao didn't care about him, Shi Shiran raised his eyebrows, stood by the river with his hands behind his back, looked at a stream of water and sneered: "I don't see monks eating fast and chanting scriptures, but bald donkeys wearing gold and silver. 300 people with 48 Ten thousand taels of gold want to buy me, I don't want this gold, I have nothing else but I have money, we don't miss you..."

"Your Majesty said it well, hahaha!" Yuchi Baolin laughed wildly, and suddenly drew a knife to the warrior monk, and said: "Your grandma, dare to threaten my Marquis, do you want to die?"

Clang Lang Lang——

There was a sound of swords being drawn, and the black armored cavalry took out their weapons at the same time, and they were about to surround the group of monks.Threatening our Marquis on our land and eating the gall of a bear and a leopard?

Han Yue smiled, he glanced at the old monk Zhicao, and said with deep meaning: "Master, look, I have soldiers..."

"Amitabha, how good is good!" The old monk Zhicao proclaimed the Buddha's name, and clasped his hands together: "Soldiers are fierce things, I will come with good intentions, why should the Marquis of Jingyang confront each other with swords and soldiers?"

"I want to intervene in my territorial affairs with gold, but I couldn't see your kindness?" Han Yue rolled his eyelids. He bent down again, pulled a piece of grass and chewed it in his mouth. Suddenly, he snorted and snorted. : "This grass smells really bad, Mom's!"

Zhi Cao sighed helplessly, took out a scroll of silk from his arms, and said in a low voice, "The old monk is not malicious, I have the emperor's handwriting here, and the Marquis of Jingyang will know after reading it!"

"Your Majesty will also write letters of recommendation?" Han Yue was stunned, took the silk book and opened it. He first saw the emperor's great seal covered under it. He scratched his forehead and continued to scan his eyes. muzzle.

"Boy, Master Zhicao is my savior. He saved me, and now he wants to save you. You can make up your own mind about this matter. instruct.

Zhi Cao slowly took a few steps closer and said in a low voice, "Even if the Marquis of Jingyang is hostile to my Buddhist family, don't drive the old monk away for the time being. There is a great master swordsman in Liaodong, and Zhenren Ziyang has passed away. The only one in the world who can compete with him is the old monk. Barely half of it. If you drive me away, aren’t you afraid of being assassinated and kidnapped by Goguryeo?”

The implication was that he wanted to stay as a bodyguard for Han Yue.However, the old monk's words were threatening, and Han Yue was very unhappy.It's just that people have now come up with the emperor's recommendation letter, so it's not easy for him to decline directly.

He was thinking about how to refuse, when he heard a roar of wind in the distance, a simple and simple long sword was thrown from the air, and stabbed at Zhicao's feet.

"My junior brother, my Taoist family is here to protect me, I don't need your Buddhist family..." A young Taoist priest came slowly, it was Han Yue's senior brother Xu Buyan.
