Chapter 227: Deep love between master and disciple,
Today is the day when the Buddhist Datong Temple was inaugurated. The abbot of the temple invited She Saihua and Lin Qing'er to watch the ceremony. Yang Peng was not interested in this and was unwilling to go. The Yang family is a group of widows, so only Yang Peng accompanied She Saihua.
Lin Qing'er and Lin Qing'er went to the Big Buddha Temple to watch the ceremony.
Yang Peng accompanied She Saihua and Lin Qing'er through the streets of Yanjing Mansion to the Great Buddha Temple in the west of the city. Since She Saihua and Lin Qing'er had no money to spare, the temple in the Great Buddha Temple was built very grandly.
The temple was completed today, and there were many people watching the ceremony. However, Yang Peng and She Saihua and Lin Qing'er had different identities, so when they arrived at the temple.
The presiding abbot led the monks in the temple to wait at the entrance of the Great Buddha Temple. When She Saihua, Lin Qing'er and their entourage appeared at the entrance of the Great Buddha Temple, a bald monk at the head greeted them. "The poor monk Dajue, I have seen Yan
Wang, I have met Mrs. She."
Behind the bald monk, a group of monks shouted in unison, "Amitabha." She Saihua and Lin Qing'er just hurriedly helped Zen Master Dajue and said, "Master is an enlightened monk, so there is no need to be polite." Yang Peng looked at him.
The young novice monk standing in the water behind Zen Master Dajue said in a neutral tone: "Great monk, there are too many novice monks in your temple."
She Saihua and Lin Qing'er glared at Yang Peng. Yang Peng laughed and pretended not to notice. The group entered the main hall of the temple. She Saihua and Lin Qing'er went to worship the Buddha, while Yang Peng yawned outside.
"Namo Amitabha." A Buddha's name sounded behind Yang Peng. Yang Peng turned around and saw a great monk wearing cassocks standing behind him.
The great monk looked older than the abbot. "The poor monk Guangde, I have met Master Yang." Yang Peng narrowed his eyes, stared at the great monk, and said: "Wisdom is vast... According to this ranking, you are better than
The great monk Dajue is still a generation older." Zen Master Guangde bowed and saluted, saying: "Donor Yang is wrong to praise you. Although Lao Na and Master Dajue's nephew are in Buddhism, they are involved in the world of mortals, so they cannot be considered great monks."
Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, and he remembered something. When he was reading miscellaneous notes, he seemed to have read a record about the title of a monk. Only those monks who have achieved enlightenment are qualified to call this great monk.
Ordinary monks are usually called novices. Those who are a little more awesome are called monks. But not everyone can afford a great monk. Only a recognized monk who has attained the Tao is qualified to be called a great monk. However,
Yang Peng didn't want to dwell on this issue of title. He was more concerned about Zen Master Guangde's purpose of finding him.
"Monk, your six-character Hongming name is far less precise than other monks' names. Are you from the south? What is your purpose in finding me this time?" The so-called six-character Hongming refers to '
There are six words for "Namo Amitabha". Yang Peng doesn't think that a monk of the Guang generation suddenly found himself without any purpose.
Even if an antique-level monk like Guangde appears in Bianjing City, he will be honored by Zhao Guangyi. Such antiques usually hide in the mountains as living Buddhas and rarely come out to walk in the world. And every time
Appearing there means something big is going on.
Zen Master Guangde opened his toothless mouth, the chicken skin on his face wrinkled up, and said with a smile: "Also, please invite Master Yang to come to the Zen room to talk." Yang Peng raised his eyebrows, shook his head and smiled: "You and I are both.
Smart people don't need to be so roundabout when speaking. There is no need to talk about etiquette. Whatever you want to do, just say it and I will weigh it if you can agree to it."
Zen Master Guangde nodded and said softly: "I heard that Donor Yang occupied Ryukyu. I wonder if Donor Yang can open the door of convenience and allow me, the Buddha, to enter the Ryukyu area?" Yang Peng was stunned, and said with some surprise: "The imperial court doesn't even
You knew the news first. You are really well-informed, and you can even dig out me.
But as far as I know, Buddhism does not exist in Ryukyu. Why do you go to Ryukyu to preach?" Zen Master Guangde shook his head and smiled: "It's different, it's different..." Yang Peng nodded thoughtfully.
.
Zen Master Guangde’s difference represents many things. He is telling Yang Peng that they are both Buddhism, but the Buddhism of Ryukyu is different from the Buddhism of the Song Dynasty. Different regions lead to different gaps in belief.
Yang Peng can understand this.
Yang Peng occasionally has some prejudices about religion. But he does not reject religion. In this era when there are no psychological counselors, religion actually represents the role of psychologists to a large extent. But some people are a little extreme.
That's all.
Yang Peng pondered: "I can allow you to enter Ryukyu to preach, and even allow you to preach in Yanjing Prefecture and Cangzhou Prefecture. But, what benefits can I get?" Yang Peng will never talk to a terrorist sect that has existed for thousands of years.
What is the question of faith?
It's too stupid. Only talking about interests is the most practical and desirable option. The foundation and accumulation of a sect that has existed for thousands of years are unfathomable. If they want to infiltrate Ryukyu, Yang Peng can't actually stop them.
The reason why people greet Yang Peng is to avoid unnecessary casualties. And if Yang Peng doesn't take the opportunity to make a fortune, he won't be called Yang Peng. Zen Master Guangde narrowed his eyes and asked Yang Peng, "What does Yang Peng want?"
?" Yang Peng muttered: "I want you to obey me as long as I give my order when I need you."
Zen Master Guangde shook his head and said with a smile: "My Buddha is compassionate, and we are all his subjects. We will never obey anyone or any god other than my Buddha." Yang Peng raised his hand and said, "Then you agree
, do five things for me.”
"Five things?" "Those five things?"
Zen Master Guangde asked in a low voice. Yang Peng laughed happily and said: "I haven't thought about it yet. I will tell you when I think about it." Thanks to Zen Master Guangde who has practiced Zen for decades, otherwise Yang Peng would be angry to death.
Regardless of whether Zen Master Guangde was angry or not, he said to himself: "It's okay to preach on my territory, but I hope you will abide by my rules.
Within a government, there cannot be more than five temples, the farmland cannot exceed a thousand acres, and the number of monks cannot exceed 100. I will not interfere with the rest, but I will send people to strictly supervise the above three points."
Zen Master Guangde's face darkened, and he said in a stiff tone: "Don't you think it's a bit hard for donor Yang? Your revered mother also believes in me, the Buddha." Yang Peng put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "On my territory, what I say is ironclad.
Law. It is not easy for anyone to speak."
After leaving these words, Yang Peng had already left. Because he saw She Saihua and Lin Qing'er had walked out of the Main Hall. After She Saihua and Lin Qing'er left the Main Hall, they went straight to another hall. She Saihua seemed to
Not seeing Yang Peng.
Yang Peng watched She Saihua and Lin Qing'er enter the palace and frowned slowly. Zen Master Guangde stood calmly behind Yang Peng and whispered: "It seems that the respected mother cares about her son."
." Yang Peng said, "I know." Zen Master Guangde was surprised and said, "Donor Yang knows my Buddhism very well."
Yang Peng sighed and said: "Heli Emperor Mother, one of the twenty guardian gods... also known as the Mother of Love... My master misses my fourth brother..." Zen Master Guangde smiled and said: "Buddhism
I can give you a helping hand, donor Yang." Yang Qi waved his hand and said calmly: "No need."
After bidding farewell to Zen Master Guangde, Yang Peng met She Saihua who came out of the Emperor's Mother Hall. "Master Wife, do you miss my fourth brother again?" Yang Peng asked in a low voice. She Saihua's eyes were red and said: "Since we said goodbye that winter, we have seen each other.
Ten years have passed and there is still no news from your fourth brother. As a mother, I always feel uncomfortable.
A few days ago, my mother went to visit your fourth sister-in-law and found that your fourth sister-in-law was hiding in the room and crying softly. My mother felt even more uncomfortable." Yang Peng comforted She Saihua and said: "Master, don't worry, I have already found out about your fourth brother.
We will pick up Fourth Brother back in a few days."
"Really?" She Saihua, who was still sad, grabbed Yang Peng's arm in surprise after hearing what Yang Peng said. Yang Peng nodded solemnly. After that, Yang Peng accompanied She Saihua and Lin Qinger
After attending the Buddhist meeting in Datong Temple.
After returning to the mansion, Yang Peng sent people to collect intelligence about the Liao Kingdom. After Ye Qi Hanyu learned that Yang Peng was collecting intelligence about the Liao Kingdom, he hurried to Yang Peng's study. "Lang Jun wants to attack the Liao Kingdom?
"Yang Peng was summarizing the map of Liao Kingdom again on his desk. Hearing Ye Qi Hanyu's question, he was slightly stunned and said in astonishment: "Who said that?"
Ye Qi Hanyu walked to the desk and whispered: "You sent people to search for information about the Liao Kingdom, aren't you going to attack the Liao Kingdom?" Yang Peng shook his head, put down his pen and ink, and said softly: "Fourth Brother Wuyingwu
It has been more than ten years since I disappeared. My mother and my fourth sister-in-law are like a burning fire in their hearts every day. I don’t want to see them continue to suffer. So I plan to go to the Liao Kingdom to find my fourth brother back."
Ye Qi Hanyu's face changed and he said anxiously: "You want to go by yourself? Isn't that very dangerous? Just leave this kind of thing to your subordinates." Yang Peng shook his head and said: "Leave it to others.
I'm not worried, so I'd better go to Liao Kingdom in person, it's safer."
"How many troops are you planning to lead?" "One person..." "No." Ye Qi Hanyu heard that Yang Peng was planning to go to Liao Kingdom alone, and immediately refused loudly. Yang Peng comforted the irritable Ye Qi Hanyu and sat down.
, said: "One person has a small target and is not easily exposed. With more people, the target is too big and is easily exposed. In comparison, it is safer to be alone.
Besides, with my current martial arts skills, even if I travel alone in the Liao Kingdom, few people can catch me. Bringing more people will be a burden." Ye Qi Hanyu said with a bitter face: "But this
It's too dangerous..." Yang Peng smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will go safely and come back safely."
Ye Qi Hanyu tugged on Yang Peng's sleeves, his face was livid, and said: "My father said that a son of a rich man cannot sit in court. You are no longer alone. Behind you, there are Yang Tong mother and son, and
Sister Yonghui, there are thousands of people in Ryukyu and Yanjing Mansion, and Tianjing New City. Do you have to take risks?"
Yang Peng let out a long sigh, "My fate is that the master will come back. I regard the fourth brother of the Yang family as my biological brother, so I must go. Besides, others may not know where he is." Yang Peng went.
The decision was made. No matter how hard Ye Qi Hanyu tried to stop him, he had no choice but to help Yang Peng pack his bags.
Before leaving, Ye Qian Han Yu was so obsessed with Li Shu that he even dragged shy Chai Yonghui and slept together. Yang Peng happily enjoyed the blessing of being together. Then in the eyes of the whole family looking forward to it, Shan Peng
A man and a horse, taking advantage of the moonlight, headed straight for Yanmen Pass.
Datong Prefecture is the closest to Yanmen Pass. Yanmen Pass is also passable on weekdays, so it is easier for Yang Peng to exit from here. When Yang Peng arrived at Yanmen Pass, it was already dawn, and the gates of Yanmen Pass were also opened. The Forbidden Army's
The soldiers stood in a dark row on top of the city.
The merchants who were passing through the city gate lined up to be interrogated one by one. Yang Peng deliberately dressed up in disguise in order to conceal himself from others. After dressing up, Yang Peng looked more like a wealthy businessman with messy hair.
It was mixed with some dead grass, and he was dressed in gray linen clothes, with a horizontal knife hanging on his waist, a bamboo hat on his head, and an old horse with a bald tail under his crotch.
When Yang Peng passed the customs, the soldiers of the imperial army who were responsible for interrogating him strictly guarded him and treated him as a dangerous person.
"What is this?" The soldiers of the Forbidden Army rummaged through Yang Peng's luggage and found a lot of food prepared by Ye Qian Hanyu for Yang Peng, as well as some scattered silver coins. At the same time, there was also a small bag of refined salt. Refined salt, in
In this era, no matter where you are, it is a rare commodity.
Even the salt sold by the government is coarse salt. Those who are not local wealthy or wealthy people cannot afford refined salt. These soldiers of the Forbidden Army do not want to investigate the origin of Yang Peng. They mainly want to find excuses to swallow the salt.
Get rid of the refined salt and silver in Yang Peng's hands.
It has almost become an unwritten rule to scrape one level when passing the pass. Even when Yang Yanzhao was guarding Yanmen Pass, this kind of thing happened frequently. What's more, the people stationed at Yanmen Pass now are the elite imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
Masters. As we all know, the masters of the Forbidden Army are always the most greedy and the most difficult to serve.
Yang Peng couldn't stand this evil trend. However, Yang Peng was even more unwilling to reveal his identity. Therefore, he could only let others search for all the refined salt and silver on his body. When he entered Guancheng,
All the gold and silver on Yang Peng's body had been plundered. If someone hadn't stopped him, even the Hengdao and the old horse on Yang Peng's waist would have been left behind.
"Young man, is this your first time out of the country?" An old man over fifty years old appeared in front of Yang Peng with a smile. Looking at his attire, he looked like a waiter hired by a merchant when doing business. Yang
Peng threw the disturbed clothes on the horse's back, pretended to be honest, and said: "This is indeed the first time. I didn't expect the soldiers at the border to be so fierce."
"Hehehe~" the old man said with a cheerful smile: "Those bunch of dogs like to pick on individual pedestrians like you to bully. In their eyes, you are actually dead people. They will not be polite to dead people.
"
"Why do you say that?" The old man put his hands into his sleeves and said leisurely: "Outside the customs, it is not like our Central Plains. It is chaotic. Horse thieves are rampant outside the customs, and there are more black shops. I have never seen this old man leave the customs alone.
Came back alive.
In many illegal shops outside the customs, their favorite thing is to make steamed buns made with human flesh. Especially if you are a single-handed person like you, you will be killed and cooked. Someone wants to avenge you, but they can't find a place." The old man paused and said.
: "Old man, I think you are a young man who must be a ranger. There is a seat in the old man's caravan for you. If you follow the old man, you won't lose your life."
Yang Peng was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood the purpose of the old man. He looked around and saw many single-handed people, who looked like knight-errants, being pulled into caravans one after another.
He understood that at least 60% of what the old man said was true. As for the remaining 40%, that was because the old man seemed to be helping Yang Peng with good intentions, but in fact he also wanted to get a free man for the caravan.
Just a bodyguard. Yang Peng clasped his fists and said with a smile: "No need, I can do it alone."
After saying this, Yang Peng took the horse and prepared to leave Guancheng. The old man was stunned, looked at Yang Peng's back, and spat, "You ignorant little brat, you are just waiting to be eaten.
Right." After cursing this sentence, the old man went to look for the target again.
Yang Peng led the horse and when he left the city, he saw soldiers of the Forbidden Army in Qingdao. Not long after, he saw Li Zifeng, who had now been promoted to a mighty general, riding a horse and leading a group of people from outside the pass.
Rushed in.
Next to Li Zifeng, there was also a woman dressed up. The two were chatting and laughing while riding horses. They must have a good relationship. Yang Peng took a surprised look and felt that the figure of this woman dressed up was very familiar, but it was just for a moment.
Didn't think of it.
Yang Peng didn't think about it again. After the people led by Li Zifeng left, traffic at the gate of Guancheng was restored. Yang Peng led the horse out of Guancheng and galloped all the way to the north.
Yang Peng galloped for a quarter of an hour. When he reached a narrow road, he suddenly reined in his horse and stopped. Yang Peng couldn't stop his horse because there was a dirty old Taoist priest lying on the narrow road.
The old Taoist priest seemed to be asleep, and his belly was bulging, like a big toad lying down and sleeping. When Yang Peng was hesitating whether to ride his horse and cross over, he heard the old Taoist priest who was sleeping soundly say suddenly.
A dream talk.
"Don't go...there's an ambush ahead..."
Yang Peng was stunned for a moment. He rode up to the old Taoist priest, lowered his head and said, "There is an ambush in front of us? How do you know? Are you with them?" The old Taoist priest didn't say a word, and turned over.
He stood up and continued to sleep soundly. Yang Peng frowned, rode his horse around the old Taoist priest, and continued to run forward.
He ran for two places in one breath. Suddenly, six thieves appeared from the grass on both sides. Two on the front and two on the front, holding tripping ropes, blocked Yang Peng's way forward and backward. "There is really an ambush..."
Yang Peng narrowed his eyes and pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist. "Boy, hand over your valuables and call us grandpa three more times and we will let you go." The masked gangster led by Yang Peng shouted loudly.
Sitting on the horse, he snorted coldly: "To leave a good soldier unused and become a robber here is simply asking for death."
"Hiss?" The six thieves were stunned, and one of them said in astonishment: "How do you know we are soldiers?" The leader of the thieves knocked the guy on the head and cursed, "You idiot..."
Yang Peng glanced around the six people and said in a deep voice: "The ropes you used to trip the horses and the knotting techniques are those used by the Forbidden Army. The posture in which you hold the sword and the aura in your march are all unique to the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty.
And the shoes on your feet are also military boots..." "Now that I have recognized the identities of my brothers, I can't keep you."
"Kill!" In an instant, six thieves rushed towards Yang Peng. Yang Peng swung his sword and slashed out. Two people were cut off with one knife, and four people had their throats sealed with one knife. The six thieves dressed as the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty were facing ordinary people.
The Ranger was naturally very capable, but in front of Yang Peng, he was completely incompetent.
After Yang Peng wiped the horizontal knife clean, he continued to ride forward. At the place where Yang Peng killed the thieves dressed as the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty, the old Taoist priest who had just been lying on the roadside to warn Yang Qi that there was an ambush suddenly appeared. He sighed and said
: "What are you doing wrong? You have to seek death. The old Taoist originally wanted to save your lives, but it's a pity that evil star will not let you go."...
Yang Peng walked another three miles and came across a big tree. An old Taoist priest was lying on the big tree and sleeping soundly. It was the old Taoist priest who had warned Yang Peng that there was an ambush. Yang Peng's pupils shrank and he stared at the old Taoist priest.
Without saying a word, the old Taoist priest hung on the tree, as if he was about to fall down at any time.
"Don't go... there is an ambush ahead..." Yang Peng stared at the old Taoist priest and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? You reminded me that there is an ambush ahead, not because you are afraid of me being ambushed, but because you are afraid of those who ambush me.
, will you be killed by me?" The old Taoist priest said leisurely: "God has the virtue of good life."
Yang Peng said coldly: "God has the final say whether I have the virtue of a good life. Whether I have the virtue of a good life or not, I have the final say." The old Taoist priest opened his eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes. He stared at Yang Peng,
Said: "Don't you have any kindness in your heart?"
Yang Peng said sternly: "Those who meet benevolence are benevolent, and those who are met with evil are evil." "Comparing the private interests of the common people in the world with those of one family, which one is more important?" "Both are important."
"What if I have to give up one of them?" "I won't give up any of them." "As a scholar, you should understand that you can't have your cake and eat it too." "If a god stands in the way, he will kill the god; if he stands in the way of the Buddha, he will kill the Buddha." "Obstacle!"
Old ghost Chen!"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
