Chapter 209 All are old friends
This time Yu Daoxian returned to Mount Wutai because he was aroused by Rahu's demonic energy, which activated the power of the Buddha's star that was suppressed in the relic.
He was almost finished participating in the Taoist plan, and he wanted to go back to explore the depths of Buddhism.
Now that there are many demon stars following, it may be possible to cause some changes.
After hearing this, Song Jiang was moved and said, "I will go with you to pay homage and ask about the future."
After asking everyone, only Daoxing Gongsun Sheng did not go with them due to his status as a Taoist priest.
…
The group changed into casual clothes and climbed up the mountain together.
Some monks had already received the news and were waiting at the mountain gate.
After sitting for a while, Elder Zhizhen finished his meditation and came to see you all.
The elder saw that although Yu Zhishen's body was covered with blood, his demonic evil spirit had dissipated a lot, and he comforted himself and said: "It's not easy to kill people and set fire after an apprentice has been gone for several years."
Yu Daoxian naturally knew its meaning and remained silent.
Song Jiang on the side argued for him: "Although brother Zhishen committed murder and set fire, in fact he was loyal and never deceived the good."
"General, I will do justice for heaven, and Zhishen will follow you. How can you make a mistake?"
The elder was also an eloquent man, and he complimented him secretly, which made Song Jiang feel very happy.
That night, everyone rested for the night in Mount Wutai. Many demonic stars gathered together, so that Master Samantabhadra was so frightened that he did not dare to show his face.
The next day, Elder Zhizhen gathered all the monks in the Dharma Hall to enlighten themselves to the Dharma.
The elder sat on the Dharma throne, lit the incense and wished: "...take a stick of incense, may the country be peaceful and the people be safe, the three religions be prosperous, and the four directions be peaceful..."
Before he finished speaking, the power of the Heavenly Buddha Star in Daoxian's relic surged, and even the nature of the Demonic Star changed.
"Doom is coming!"
Fortunately, he lowered his head to listen, and even if his expression changed slightly, no one noticed.
After the elders finished offering incense, all the generals also offered incense, bowed, and swore an oath, "May our brothers live and die together, and stay with us for all eternity!"
After everything was finished, Yu Daoxian and Song Jiang entered the hall with the elders to talk.
Song Jiang asked for advice: "Now that my disciple has returned to the court, I don't know what the future will be like. I hope the elders can give me some advice!"
The elder then wrote a few verses and gave them to Song Jiang, "The meaning of Zen in it cannot be said, cannot be said!"
He also called Yu Daoxian to him and told him: "My disciple is leaving now, and the righteous fruition is about to come! I will give you four more verses, which will be useful to you throughout your life."
The last time he left Wutai Mountain, the elder sent four verses, all of which were fulfilled one by one. Now there is a new "prophecy".
"When it comes to summer, it is captured, when it comes to wax, it is clinging to it. When it hears the tide, it becomes round, but when it sees faith, it becomes silent."
He read the gatha several times, then collected it on his body and thanked the elder.
Everyone rested for another night before going down the mountain.
…
The victorious troops arrived at a double forest formation, and the people in the town came to pay homage to the majesty of the heavenly army.
Ahead, Yan Qing suddenly dismounted and met a person.
Song Jiang and others approached, and Yan Qingcai introduced each other to everyone.
It turned out that the man's surname was Xu Guanzhong, and he was living in seclusion here. He invited Yan Qing to rest at home.
"My younger brother and brother Guanzhong haven't seen each other for a long time, and we would like to meet up with him."
Yan Qing asked Song Jiang for leave and informed Lu Junyi before setting off with him.
"What does the sudden appearance of a person have to do with the Buddhist calamity?"
Yu Daoxian was not interested in Xu Guanzhong, but he became interested in his sudden appearance.
A demonic thought attached to the calamity fell on Yan Qing's body.
The two rode horses for dozens of miles, crossing mountain roads and crossing streams, before arriving at the mountain hut.
"This place is called Dayu Mountain. In ancient times, Emperor Yu once visited here when he was controlling floods!"
Xu Guanzhong pointed to the mountain peak and introduced it to Yan Qing.
"Dayu controlled the floods? Could it be that the disaster in the future is related to water?"
"Yes, the Eight Immortals are crossing the sea!"
He suddenly remembered Lu Dongbin, Cao Guojiu and others he met in his "previous life".
"Is the Eight Immortals traveling eastward related to Buddhism?"
Not to mention his doubts, Yan Qing started chatting with this person.
Xu Guanzhong said: "Nowadays, evil people are in power and they use all kinds of evil tricks. Those who are loyal and upright will be imprisoned. As a brother, I have given up all hope. When you become famous, little brother, you will also find a way out."
"Oh, this is still a sensible person!"
"I hope Yan Qing can be touched."
The demonic thoughts made some slight fluctuations, and she glanced at the man a few more times.
It has been said since ancient times that all the good birds are hidden in their bows, and the cunning rabbits are dead and cooked by running dogs.
Yan Qing kept it in mind and rested that night.
On the second day, I followed Xu Guanzhong to climb the mountain for some sightseeing before bidding farewell.
…
It wasn't until Song Jiang and others captured Daliao that the emperor realized that the people in Liangshanbo were not really betrayers, and then he was truly relieved and praised them greatly.
Everyone is allowed to enter the city in attire and go directly from Donghua Gate to the court to have an audience.
This time, it was still Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Yu Daoxian, and Wu Song, all wearing different clothes.
"Emperor Shenxiao Daojun, we meet again!"
"It's a pity that we don't know each other. The Sa family is no longer the Lingsu master it was before!"
Yu Daoxian glanced at the main hall. There were all familiar faces, but they had long since changed.
The emperor didn't know him, so he naturally didn't deliberately make friends with him. He just praised Liangshan's heroes in front of all the courtiers, and then brought up the matter of ennobling him.
It is the wish of every soldier to expand the territory and enjoy the title of nobility.
Although the four states gained were returned to Daliao, this contribution is indelible.
Grand Master Cai Jing, Privy Councilor Tong Guan and others hurriedly reported: "The matter of ennoblement is of great importance. Rong Chen will wait until the discussion is completed before reporting to His Majesty!"
The emperor nodded in agreement and held a banquet in honor of everyone.
Unknowingly, several days passed, and no sign of the title was seen at all. Cai Jing and others only focused on procrastinating.
But it was said that Dai Zong and Shi Xiu couldn't rest. While wandering around the capital, they heard the news about Tian Hu's rebellion in Jizhou from a messenger, and hurriedly came back to report to Song Jiang.
"We, the generals, are restless. Why don't we tell the emperor tomorrow to raise troops and go to conquer?"
After Song Jiang heard this, he thought of sending troops again.
Lord Tiankui came to this world to protect the country and the country.
"This matter needs to be reported to the emperor by Taiwei Su!" Wu Yong reminded from the side.
After listening to his suggestion, Song Jiang and others went to visit Taiwei Su and asked him to intercede in front of the emperor.
With this help, the emperor was naturally overjoyed and ordered Song Jiang and others to set off immediately.
Yu Daoxian was naturally among those sending troops.
Even now, he couldn't be sure of Yao Xing's thoughts.
It stands to reason that all the Twenty-Eight Constellations have been defeated, and Wu Yong should find a reason to retire and no longer be involved in human affairs, but he has been "staying" in the army.
Let's say that Liangshanbo's army finished resting and came all the way to Jizhou.
Lu Junyi took the initiative to ask for help and said: "My younger brother is willing to take Lingchuan to open the way for the crusade against the land thieves."
Immediately he led an army of 10,000 horses and 500 infantry.
Wu Yong said: "The mountains and rivers here are steep. If you want to capture the field thieves, you need two leaders to disguise themselves as agents and go to investigate."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Qing came over.
"Commander, don't worry, the terrain map is already there!"
He took out a picture and displayed it on the table. It was the local city pass, very detailed.
This picture was the gift that Xu Guanzhong gave to Yan Qing that day.
On the other side, Lu Junyi led troops and horses to the outside of Lingchuan City. He first ambushed a group of troops and camped under the city.
The next day it was just dawn, so it was convenient to call the formation in front of the city.
Chapter completed!
