Chapter 5304 Entering the tiger's den to negotiate a deal
A trace of anger flashed in Lu Gu's eyes: "Huiyuan, don't you want to live against our divine religion? If you want to stand on the side of the Jin army, why do you need to come to see me? What are you talking to me about?
What about going to Linyi?"
Huiyuan said calmly: "Lu Gu, I originally wanted to be able to realize my wish to go to the West to seek Buddha in my last years on earth. However, what I saw along the way were all the Celestial Masters doing all kinds of bereavement.
You are even more barbaric and cruel than the northern barbarians. This has shaken my mind. But until I met you, I thought you would still retain some humanity and you would be the same person I knew back then.
Classmate, I can save your life so that you can leave this Middle-earth world and stop harming others."
"But I thought wrong. You are hopeless. In order to realize your crazy ambition, you even want to drag the whole city to be buried with you. Even if I don't go to the West to learn scriptures, I will never help you, a devil. The reason why I want to
I lied to you just once, just to have a chance to get away, to get the poison out of your mouth, and then go to Wu Yinzhi to detoxify him and expel the poison."
Lu Gu gritted his teeth: "In that case, why did you come back? Do you think you have a long life and are waiting for me to kill you?"
Huiyuan shook his head: "No, I am already a member of the Buddhist sect. This means that I cannot accept any killing karma. I cannot see you harming the Jin army and people in the city, and I don't want Wu Yinzhi, Sun Yat-sen, etc.
They are to be slaughtered outside the city like they have been killing the disciples of the Celestial Master Dao in the past few days."
Lu Gu sneered and said: "What a hypocritical monk, I almost succeeded in making you laugh. You don't want to kill this, and you don't want to harm that, so why are you getting involved in this dispute? Now you ask Wu Yinzhi to send troops throughout the city
Are you here to hunt us down because you want my life? Let me tell you, even if I die, I will still have to support you, not just you, but also your hundreds of disciples in this temple!"
Huiyuan loudly announced the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, good is good, Lu Gu, if I wanted to harm you, I would have brought troops and horses to capture you long ago. Why do I need to come to see you alone like this?"
Lu Gu gritted his teeth: "Okay, we don't need to waste time anymore. Just tell me what you want, what you can do for me, and set the conditions."
Huiyuan said seriously: "My condition is that you don't harm anyone in the city, and I will try my best to protect you and your men's lives and send you out of the city. However, you must first give me the recommendation letter from Master Kumarajiva."
.”
Lu Gu laughed: "So you want this, are afraid of this, and want to protect yourself. Aren't you afraid that I will declare your relationship with me now?"
Huiyuan smiled slightly: "Lu Gu, I have made a great contribution to rescuing the entire city's soldiers and civilians. I am not afraid of you using this letter of recommendation to say anything about my relationship. Even if you go and say it, no one will believe you. Even if I persist
I have given you this letter of recommendation because we, the Buddhists, are compassionate and want you to take me to Linyi State and to the West to seek Buddha's scriptures. In fact, have I done anything to help you become the enemy of the Jin army? Even if you are
To say that I sheltered you for two days, I can also say that I was controlled by you. The lives of all the monks in the temple are in your hands. I can only temporarily cooperate with you to influence or persuade you and let you leave until you
If I tell you about poisoning, I can only find a way to escape first, and then go to the Governor's Mansion to save people, who do you think will not believe me?"
Lu Gu gritted his teeth: "I told you, Liu Yu and the Jin army will not tolerate Buddhists like you. If they gain power, they will inevitably destroy the temples. You help them like this, but you don't help me.
What exactly are you planning?"
Huiyuan Bao looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "What are you trying to do? For my conscience as a person and as a Buddhist disciple. I see you killing and plundering everywhere in order to realize your ambitions and desires. I see you raising troops to seize power.
You have committed crimes everywhere in these thousands of miles, and I see you have no regrets. When the army was defeated, you did not think about escaping and repenting, but thought about dragging the whole city to be buried with you, whether it was the Jin army or Liu Yu, at least they were
After annihilating you, I was protecting the people and the city, but you wanted to massacre the city and kill the people. You lost your humanity and turned into an evil ghost like a beast. It's your business, but I'm not at your level.
"
Lu Gu sneered and said: "What a righteous and upright monk, Huiyuan, when you came to me for cooperation and asked me to send a ship to take you out to sea, why didn't you say this?"
Huiyuan gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't know you were so evil at the time, and you were still lucky. I wanted to let you take refuge at sea, become a monk, and come back to shore. But I later found out that you can't come back. This is
The reason why I have to help the Jin army and help Wu Yinzhi and others."
Lu Gu laughed loudly: "In that case, why don't you bring troops to get rid of us evil ghosts? Since you have escaped, you can also bring Wu Yinzhi's troops to find us. At most, you can sacrifice more than a hundred disciples and you can completely destroy them.
They are going to destroy us, and they can even burn me and this letter of recommendation with a fire."
Huiyuan sighed and his eyes became lonely: "Although I hate you very much, I am still a disciple of Buddhism. Moreover, in this world, you and I have known each other since we were young. We were classmates, and I don't
I can't bear to watch you die in my hands. Now, I give you one last chance. You can leave Guangzhou City in my way. After leaving the city, you can rest in peace with your destiny. You can gather your men to attack Guangzhou, and I will
Here, I pray for all the soldiers and civilians in the city. If you attack the city, my life will be yours to take. On the contrary, if you do evil again after leaving the city and are defeated and die in the end, that will be your retribution. In short,
All the grievances and grievances between you and me will be severed after you leave the city, and we will just pretend that we have never known each other."
Lu Gu's eyes flashed with fierceness: "The method you originally mentioned is to let me hide in the coffin mezzanine, and then let my men mix with your ritual team and follow them out of the city?"
Huiyuan nodded: "Besides this move, I have no other way to send you out of the city and save your life. However, I can guarantee that Wu Yinzhi now trusts me very much. He is beating gongs and drums everywhere just to expel the evil spirits in the city.
The Heavenly Master and Taoist disciples left the city, not to kill them all. There is no need for me to lie to you, because I have other ways to kill you, so why bother with this."
Lu Gu gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Even if I leave the city this time, I will soon meet up with my son and come back to attack the city again. Don't think that the few soldiers and horses of Wu Yinzhi and Sun Chu can protect you.
When the time comes, I will definitely take your life and settle the accounts with you." (End of Chapter)
