Chapter 5282 Going to the sea and going to the west
Lu Gu narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "We have suffered from wind and waves before, and because we could not bear the suffering, we landed in the barbaric land of Yizhou. If the local climate was not so bad, there would be no farming.
Maybe, I'm afraid we would rather settle in Yizhou than enter the sea again. The conditions at sea are so difficult, we encounter all kinds of storms, and giant beasts. Being alone on the boundless sea makes us feel like a grain of dust.
, the feeling of powerlessness that can be swallowed up by this world is something you can’t understand.”
"Besides, at that time our tribe had only a few thousand men, and hundreds of ships could barely fit in them. Now that many years have passed, we have not built any new ships. Can those ships from many years ago still be used?
, it is unknown. Even if it can be used, it is also unknown whether it can accommodate enough people. Who will be left behind and who will not be allowed to get on the ship? Even if they get on the ship, how many winds and waves can this ship go through?
, who can guarantee whether it will disintegrate directly? Baoyu, you think too simply. Even if I really want to go, it will not be easy by sea. "
Huiyuan said calmly: "Liu Yu has issued an order. The so-called culprit must be punished, and threats are never asked. He will not let you old brothers who came from Wudi let him go, but if you join after Lingnan
Liu Yu should not kill all the troops and horses. After you went to sea last time, most of the disciples who stayed in Wudi and Yangzhou were pardoned. Now Liu Yu is eager to pacify the country and restore the wounds of the war. He needs the unity of the people.
If you leave, as long as the people who stay behind say that they were forced or coerced by you, Liu Yu will probably let them live. This is what he has always done, and it is what distinguishes him from tyrants like Shi Hu.
."
Lu Gu said coldly: "It's because he let us go last time. As a result, we raised troops again this time and almost destroyed the Jin Kingdom. He should not make the same mistake again this time. Our old brothers,
There are also many who stayed in Wudi last time and came all the way to join us again after the news passed. These are ten or twenty thousand people. Liu Yu has learned the lesson from last time and will not let go of our brothers who raised troops from Lingnan again.
, and the ships I have here can carry at most four to five thousand people, and it is absolutely impossible to take away all the brothers."
Huiyuan sighed: "It's up to you to decide who you want to take with you and who you want to leave behind. Now at least from Yuzhou to Jiangzhou, Liu Yu's order is to pardon the people who rebelled against you this time, except
During the San Wu period, veterans who joined Tianshi Dao when Sun En was involved in the uprising, this Lingnan land is further away from Jiankang, it is impossible for him to hunt you here for a long time, it is really not possible, some brothers you cannot take away, you can
I will do my best to protect them when they become monks and ordained in our Buddhist temple. If Liu Yu wants to harm their lives, please kill me first."
Lu Gu's heart moved: "Can you really protect some of our brothers?"
Huiyuan nodded: "However, this is a helpless move. Only by sincerely worshiping the Buddha and no longer participating in the disputes in this world can I protect them. The so-called putting down the butcher's knife, becoming a Buddha immediately, entering my Buddhist door, and having green lanterns every day
Ancient Buddha, if you practice fasting and practice, you will no longer be able to return to this world. You can ask your subordinates who are willing to take this path. There are three temples abboted by my disciples in Guangzhou City, and there are 17 temples in the entire Lingnan.
, plus the temples in Jiangzhou and Jingzhou, there are more than 30 temples. I can arrange the number of disciples. A total of three to five thousand people can be protected. You really can't take them away, and you are afraid of being liquidated by Liu Yu.
Yes, you can take shelter in these temples for a while. As long as the Eastern Jin Dynasty continues to allow Buddhism to exist and regards me as a master, it will give me this face."
Lu Gu murmured: "But many of our old brothers have been members of the divine religion all their lives. If we want them to join Buddhism in order to save their lives, it is okay for a while, but if they really become monks,
, I’m afraid they are unwilling, just like Wang Miaoyin, who once became a Buddhist nun, didn’t she eventually come back and become a queen?”
Huiyuan said solemnly: "Everyone has his own ambitions. The reason why I came to you now is to find people with wisdom among your subordinates. If you don't have a Buddha in your heart, don't ask about the cause and effect of good and evil, and don't fear life and death, you won't do anything."
The Buddha will not accept people who repent of the killings they have committed over the years. Just like you, Agu, I will never advise you to join Buddhism, because the conversation just now has proved that you are not the destined one.
people."
Lu Gu laughed: "If it were me, even if I entered your temple and became your first disciple, Liu Yu and the others would not be able to let me live. Needless to say, our old brothers Sanwu,
I should be able to take them away. Those barbarian Taoist friends who joined us in Lingnan will probably have to be taken care of by you. If you can protect them and protect some of the family members of our soldiers, it will be an act of immeasurable merit for you.
Bar."
Huiyuan nodded: "Yes, the land of Lingnan is actually far away from the Central Plains, but it is closer to the Buddhist Kingdom by sea. Many monks from the Tianzhu Buddhist Kingdom now travel through the South China Sea and pass through Linyi.
, and then landed in Guangzhou, so if you can go to sea, land in Linyi, and get the protection of Linyi State there, you can truly escape the pursuit."
Lu Gu murmured: "Lin Yi Kingdom? Isn't that a foreign barbarian country with curly hair and black skin? It has been invading Jiaozhou for many years. It is not of my race. Do you want us to escape to that place?"
Huiyuan said calmly: "Linyi country is far in the south, Jiaozhou Rinan, and south of Jiuzhen County. It is a foreign barbarian. But in recent years, Tianzhu Buddhism has also begun to be introduced into Linyi. I am here and the master Agu of Guanglin Temple in Linyi
Baili, we have been friends with each other for a long time. He invited me to come and give lectures on the classics. However, because I am old and infirm, China and Linyi are separated by thousands of mountains, stars and seas, so I cannot go there. This time I came to Guangzhou.
I want to meet you, my old friend. Secondly, I want to use your sea ship to reach Linyi. If I have the opportunity, I can go west from Linyi and take the sea route to Tianzhu to reach the Lingshan Mountain in the Western Heaven of Buddhism. This will fulfill my lifelong wish.
"
Lu Gu laughed: "After a long time of work, you want to take our boat out to sea and go to the West to see the Buddha."
Huiyuan smiled slightly: "With my current physical condition, I am afraid that I will not be able to go to the Western Heaven and will pass away on the way. But if I can help you go to sea and take refuge in Linyi, save tens of thousands of Tianshi Dao disciples, and avoid the recurrence of the disease,
Swordsmanship and loss of life can be regarded as my immeasurable merits. As for whether I can reach the Western Heaven and meet the Buddha, those are not important. If I just go to the Western Heaven for my own cultivation, then I only need to borrow a sea ship from you. Why should I follow you?
