Jiangzhou, Wu Mansion, is like a bustling city. Regardless of the main entrance, side entrance, or back entrance, there is a long line of people, standing upright on the roadside, waiting to be received. Rainbow Literature%ingee
These people standing are not ordinary people. They are all non-officials or nobles. If they were in ordinary places, they would be majestic. Now outside the Wu Mansion, they can only stand still humbly, not daring to make a loud noise.
Noisy. Each and every one of them did not even let the servants serve them, they just let the sun shine. They had to sweat out and sweat all over their backs so that they could show their "sincerity".
Their eyes occasionally glanced over, but once they saw the black-shirted guard guarding the door, they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.
Now, the gate of Wu Mansion is guarded by four black-shirted guards. They are all strong and imposing, standing as straight as javelins, like four statues, motionless.
In the main hall of the mansion, two teams of black-shirted guards were lined up, and their defense was even more fierce.
In the hall, Wu Wencai was drinking tea and talking with a commander and a monk wearing a red cassock.
The commander was not very tall, with a square face and very thick eyebrows, but the eyes under his eyebrows were very small. In comparison, there seemed to be only a slit for his eyes.
Even though he was drinking tea and chatting, he was still wearing armor and a steel helmet, with a red tassel spread out on his head, showing his extraordinary status.
Commander Zhou.
It was Commander Zhou who was fully responsible for escorting the Buddhist monks to Jiangzhou this time. His single name was: "Ba" and his nickname was "Qian Tu Zhou". He had been a member of the Black Shirt Guards for ten years and was known for his violent personality. When he saw a
If the chicken is unhappy, he will fly over with a knife and chop off the chicken's head.
That monk, wearing a solemn red cassock, had a round face, big ears, thick lips, and a nose that looked like a gallbladder. He looked very blessed. He was sitting on a chair, very calm, and he looked like an enlightened monk.
Wu Wencai stood up and poured tea for him, respectfully saying: "Master Lokong, please give me tea."
Master Lokong smiled and clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wu."
Wu Wencai's face was full of joy: "Master, you're welcome. This time, Master led all his disciples to go to Jiangzhou to preach and influence the world. I would like to thank Master on behalf of the people of Jiangzhou."
Master Liokong chuckled: "Young Master, you are serious. Since I entered Buddhism, I have made a great wish to influence the world's people, so that they can escape from the sea of suffering and come back to the shore."
Wu Wencai complimented him again.
Over there, Commander Zhou suddenly asked: "Sir, are there any good places for hunting near Jiangzhou? I am bored staying in the city."
Master Kong frowned but said nothing: According to the Buddhist rules, killing is a precept. However, this week's commander is a warrior in the army. Of course, he will not accept the constraints of Buddhist laws and regulations, and cannot restrain him.
Wu Wencai said: "Commander Zhou said that there is a good place for hunting. There is actually a place nearby called Fengshan. The mountains behind it are high and densely forested, and there are many wild beasts living there, including wild boars, leopards, tigers...all of them."
Hearing this, Commander Zhou was overjoyed. He raised his thick eyebrows and said, "It's just right. Tomorrow, Commander I will take a few of my followers to go hunting in Fengshan Mountain."
Wu Wencai hurriedly said: "Commander Zhou, if you don't mind, I am willing to lead the way."
Although he is the son of Shang, he has no power. In front of the commander of the black-shirted guards who hold the power of killing, his posture must be lowered a bit in order to build a good relationship. Let alone a second-generation official, he is his father.
If you come here in person, you will have to humble yourself when you see Commander Zhou.
This is all because the black-shirted guards have a transcendent status, directly under the emperor's orders, and completely independent of the civil and military officials.
Master Liao Kong suddenly interjected: "Commander, Young Master, why don't you go with me tomorrow?"
Commander Zhou made a sound and asked in surprise: "Master, do you want to go with me and save those beasts?"
Master Liaokong shook his head and said: "To be honest, this time I have been favored by the Holy Spirit and came to Jiangzhou to hold a Dharma propagation conference. In fact, I have another wish, which is to build a temple on the ground of Jiangzhou and recruit believers. Only in this way can I be more...
A good place to promote Buddhism and bring salvation to all sentient beings.”
Jie Jie, the commander-in-chief of Zhou Dynasty, smiled strangely: "Master, when you build a temple, shouldn't it be in a densely populated area of the city? Why go to the uninhabited wilderness to search for it?"
Master Liao Kong put his hands together and said, "What do you know, Commander? Our Buddhist temple cannot be chosen randomly. It must have a spiritual place. Only in this way can we invite our Buddha to come and show his spiritual presence."
"Okay, as you wish."
Commander Zhou was quite impatient with his sermons. He practiced martial arts, was only loyal to the emperor, and killed people without blinking an eye. In his opinion, both Taoism and Buddhism are evil ways. Since they are evil ways,
Of course he can't hear it.
From the perspective of Commander Zhou, Master Liaokong was simply talking about false compassion. If Master Liaokong dared to come to recite sutras and teach him, he would probably kill the wooden fish without hesitation before he struck it.
Wu Wencai was a little excited thinking about being able to go out for hunting in the city tomorrow. He had been busy these past few days and it was hard for him to do anything. It was just time for him to ride out and have some fun.
You must know that the excitement of hunting is sometimes more exciting than visiting a brothel. It is also a great opportunity to build a good relationship with Commander Zhou and Master Liao Kong, which should not be missed.
…
The Dharma propagation meeting in Jiangzhou City is in full swing.
Every day at the beginning of the conference, thousands of people came to listen to the lectures.
The long ringing of bells, the popping of wooden fish, and the rhythmic sound of chanting sutras, unknowingly, people seem to be extradited to the legendary Western paradise world, illuminated by thousands of auspicious lights, and the whole person seems to be reborn, bathed in
Fire rebirth.
When thoughts arise, faith arises.
The common people have become believers without knowing it, accepting the theory of reincarnation and the theory of suffering...
For such a grand event, the government issued an order, ordering the college to take a holiday to cooperate.
Wang Fu once went to listen to a Dharma propagation conference, but after listening to it once, he was unwilling to go there a second time. For him, it was simply a kind of torture. What about suffering in this life and enjoying happiness in the next life? Bah, where is it?
Is it possible to enjoy yourself in time without me?
Wang Fu couldn't accept many of the concepts of promoting Buddhism. Instead of joining in the fun, why not go to the brothels more often, listen to the pipa, and let the beauties play the flute? Why not?
Originally, Wang Fu wanted to invite Chen Jianchen to have fun with him, but when he visited the Chen family, Mo Sanniang said that Chen Jianchen had gone on a study tour and was not at home.
Hearing this, Wang Fu was startled: Going on a study tour? How many days will it take to study?
The so-called study tour is a profession for scholars. The sage once said: read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. It is probably like this. However, with the development up to now, study tour has been paid less and less attention. It is too hard and hard.
For example, Wang Fu asked him to go on a study tour, so he simply went to visit a brothel. Time waits for no one, and the flowers are blooming. The sun was still fine at noon today, but suddenly there were dark clouds in the evening, and it was going to rain again...
