Chapter 3 The Monk from a Foreign Region
Brother and sister Feng Xi and Feng Ai nodded in horror, and the four-year-old Feng Ai was so frightened that she started crying.
The Zuo Pian general smiled ferociously and said: "Brothers, wait a moment! Look at the traitor's appearance, he won't be able to hold on much longer. Let's just wait patiently and enjoy the fruits of our labor. This traitor is powerful, don't get involved with him again."
Brothers’ lives!”
All the soldiers responded loudly: "No!" and they all cheered.
Hua Hu lost too much blood and was hungry, so he was no longer able to take the initiative to fight back. He secretly complained in his heart, so he had to brace himself, hold the silver gun tightly, and frighten the soldiers who were ordered to arrest him and his two children.
Come forward easily.
Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, a soldier suddenly said: "General Zuo Pian, look quickly, at this moment, there is someone coming towards the ruined temple. Could he be an accomplice of the rebels?"
Zuo Zhanjiang was startled. Hearing this, he looked carefully and sure enough, in the snow, there was a person walking towards the small temple in a hurry.
When the soldiers were shocked and suspicious, the man had already arrived in front of the small temple. He seemed to have no regard for the soldiers in the temple and walked into the small temple without hesitation.
The man who came had a hawk-nosed, high cheekbones, a dark complexion, and his hair was so bald that only a circle around his forehead was left. There was a light in the man's eyes, he was tall, and he held a crutch made of dead wood in his right hand, and the crutch was tied with a red cloth strip.
A wine gourd.
When Hua Hu saw the person coming, he was secretly surprised. The person didn't look like a Chinese native, but seemed to be someone from the Tianzhu area.
As if he could not see the soldiers, the visitor came directly to the thatched place where Hua Hu and his two children were sitting, and sat down cross-legged. He smiled and said: "I have lived in this small temple for many days, and even
Because of the loneliness. So many guests came all at once today, and the small temple really couldn’t entertain Zhou Xiang!"
He took off the wine gourd from his crutch, handed it to Hua Hu and said, "I don't know how to call this old brother! Seeing that your face is pale, you must be suffering from a severe cold. I still have half a pot of plain wine, so I'll share it with you.
Brother, let’s use it to ward off the cold and create warmth!”
Although Hua Hu didn't know the origin of that person, seeing that he looked different from the people from China and called himself "Lao Na", Hua Hu, who believed deeply in Buddhism, already understood a little bit.
He unceremoniously reached out to take the wine gourd, pulled out the stopper, took a big sip and said: "This master must be an eminent monk from Tianzhu country! Thank you master for treating me with plain wine. I, Hua Hu, can drink it before I die."
There is nothing to regret after such a good drink! I just feel sorry for those two children!"
Although the man looked strange, he had a kind face and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Brother Hua. Lao Na is from Tianzhu. Brother Hua can just call me Shitou Tuo. I don't know why Brother Hua said he was about to die."
?”
Hua Hu laughed loudly and said: "Master Shitou Tuo, didn't you see the group of tiger and wolf soldiers on the opposite side? It's not a pity for me, Hua Hu, to die. It's a pity that I couldn't save my two young masters. Jiuquanxia is also ashamed of my old master.
!”
Shitou Tuo said calmly: "Could it be that the two young masters that Brother Hua refers to are the two young masters behind Brother Hua? I wonder who the old masters that Brother Hua refers to are?"
Hua Hu let out a long sigh and said: "I was originally a ninth-grade partial general under Feng Chong, the cavalry general of the Great Wei Kingdom. I was entrusted by General Feng to pass through Chang'an to bring a family letter to Feng Chong when he returned home.
General Feng Lang’s younger brother, Qin, is the governor of Yong Er Prefecture, Lord Feng Lang. Unexpectedly, the Feng Mansion was suddenly wiped out. I was entrusted by General Feng Lang to fight to the death to help his son and daughter break out of the siege.”
"What a pity! I have been injured by an arrow on my shoulder, and I'm afraid I won't be able to survive. It's not a pity to die, but I just failed to live up to Lord Feng's trust!" Hua Hu coughed up another mouthful of blood as he spoke.
When the Zuopian general saw that Shitou Tuo was drinking and talking to Huahu as if there was no one around, he got angry and shouted suddenly: "You Tianzhu monk, this matter has nothing to do with you. You should leave here quickly and don't talk to this traitor again."
, but don’t blame me for being rude!”
Shitou Tuo stood up slowly. His tall and burly figure, illuminated by the torches held by the soldiers, left a huge black shadow on the wall behind the ruined temple.
Shitoutuo said slowly: "Amitabha! I have a word of advice. I hope this general will think twice! I once had a relationship with Mr. Feng Langfeng. How could such a loyal and loyal man be a rebel? You killed Feng.
General, don't you dare to let go of even the last bit of his flesh and blood?"
The Zuo Pianjun said in surprise: "What? So you and Feng Lang, the rebel, are in the same group?"
Shitou Tuo smiled and said: "Feng Lang started his career with military exploits and killed countless people; Lao Na is a foreigner who specializes in saving people. How can he be said to be a group? Lao Na came to the Middle-earth to promote Buddhism and saw that the people in the Middle-earth killed countless people.
, the sins are serious, and I have made a great wish: if I see someone who is being hunted, I will save him!"
As soon as Shitou Tuo said this, Hua Hu was naturally extremely surprised. General Zuo Pian and his soldiers couldn't help but change their expressions, and immediately pointed their swords and guns at Shitou Tuo.
Shitou Tuo seemed completely unaware, and said leisurely: "I came from China, and I strictly abide by the precepts of my Buddha. I don't dare to kill, and I only like a sip of plain wine. Ten days ago, I was addicted to alcohol again, and I couldn't find it anywhere. Meng Yongzhou
Lord Feng Langfeng, the governor, did not mean that I broke my precepts by drinking as a monk, so he gave me a pot of plain wine, so I have a close relationship with Lord Feng!"
It turned out that Feng Lang was in the governor's office that day and saw heavy snowfall, so he opened the door and stood under the eaves to enjoy the snowfall at night.
He suddenly saw a man in thin clothes standing under a large locust tree not far away, and was very surprised. Feng Lang stepped forward to visit him, and after talking with each other, he learned that the man turned out to be the eminent monk Shitou Tuo from India.
Feng Lang, who believed deeply in Buddhism, was overjoyed and hurriedly welcomed Shitou Tuo into the governor's house. Feng Lang asked Shitou Tuo for Buddhist teachings, and Shitou Tuo talked about Buddhism. Feng Lang was mesmerized and his heart was filled with worship.
After learning that Shitou Tuo came out to stand in front of the governor's office on a snowy night, and it turned out that because of heavy snowfall, the wine shop had already closed and no vegetarian wine could be purchased, Feng Lang quickly ordered his servants to offer a jar of good vegetarian wine to Shitou Tuo.
master.
At this time, Buddhism had just been introduced to China, the Buddhist precepts were not very strict, and many monks drank vegetarian wine.
The left side army shouted: "Brothers, I didn't expect that this Tianzhu monk is also part of the rebel bandit Feng Lang. Everyone swarmed up and captured the rebel bandit. Lord Zhongchangshi will definitely give you a heavy reward!"
After receiving the order, all the soldiers rushed forward brandishing their swords and guns. Hua Hu was shocked when he saw this. He was seriously injured and could no longer raise his guns to meet the enemy.
He closed his eyes, and when he was about to pull his neck to kill, he suddenly heard bursts of screams. Hua Hu opened his eyes in surprise, and what he saw in front of him suddenly stunned him.
I saw more than a dozen soldiers, together with the general on the left, groaning in pain, while Shitou Tuo calmly clasped his hands together and kept chanting: "Amitabha! Sin! Sin!"
