Xu You was stunned for a moment, and his mind was turned on. Could it be that Kumarajiva had not yet translated and annotated the "Mahaprajna Paramita Sutra" in this era? In other words, the "Madhyamaka" and "Hundred Treatises" after the Heart Sutra have not been published yet. No wonder the Buddhism in Chu State is still in the early stage of the six schools and seven sects, and its development is not very fast.

The so-called six schools and seven sects are originally without sects, namely the Serum, the Mind and No Sect, the Consciousness Sect, the Illusion and Transformation Sect, and the Fate Society Sect. These are the Six schools, the Original and No Sect are also differentiated and No Sect and No Sect. These are the Seven Sects.

Simply put, the Benwu School believes that all dharmas are empty and silent in nature. Nothing is before all transformations. Emptiness is the beginning of all forms. The meaning of the sutra focuses on nothingness. Neither existence nor non-existence nor non-existence;

That is, the color school believes that color does not exist, and although color is empty, it is empty; color is empty, and color is different from emptiness. The meaning of the sutra focuses on color, and initially realizes the principle that color is emptiness, but does not realize that emptiness is color, but instead opposes color and emptiness;

The School of Mindlessness believes that there is a phenomenon that cannot be said without, and invisible cannot be said without, and that the mind is stopped inside and does not empty the external color. The meaning of the scripture focuses on the mind. Form is an objective phenomenon world, but the heart is not attached to external things in the heart, and it will reach the state of emptiness.

The Consciousness School believes that the three realms are houses for a long night, and the mind is the master of the great dream; the Illusionary Transformation School believes that the laws of the world truth are all like illusion, which comes from the original self and has not yet existed; the Consciousness School believes that existence is due to the fate, and that is, the condition is dispersed and non-existent. These three sects tend to discuss emptiness of existence and non-existence of practice, and focus on Hinayana Buddhism. It is not a problem to discuss the three sects of form and mind. They have always been looked down upon by these three sects, and are not widely spread, and there are not many believers.

In essence, the six schools and seven sects are all branches of the Buddhist Prajna school. Since the translation of the Taoist Prajna Sutra by Lou Jiachen in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhu Shizhe first preached the scriptures, and then there was a Taoist and amnesty. They used the Laozi and Zhuangzi metaphysics to describe Prajna, which led to the "Grajna Buddhism", and then various differences were found on the idea of ​​Prajna emptiness, which caused the chaos of the six schools and seven sects to do their own affairs. It was not until Kumarajiva introduced the Heart Sutra of Prajna Paramita to the East Land that Prajna studies truly entered the Mahayana realm.

"I just said it nonsense, why are you doing so seriously?" Xu You had a deep understanding of the meaning of the Buddhist and Taoist teachings. If you really want to fool him, it is difficult to prevent He Ru from falling off his chin. It's just that the time is not right. It's better to cherish your own shoes and wait for the future.

He Ru has been a monk for many years. Once she returned to secular life, her ambition has long been no longer in the blue lights and yellow scrolls. Seeing that Xu You didn't want to say much, she no longer asked questions. She barely suppressed her desire for knowledge in her heart and said, "Feng Hu has already found out. Zhou Ying'er left the dock on a boat last night, and she didn't know where she went."

They walked as they said and said, the cold weather was so cold in winter that it was filled with white mist that rose and it couldn't dissipate. Xu You held his hands and rubbed it gently. He felt the warmth in his palm. He turned his head and looked at Zuo Teng and said, "Do you know the name of the boatman?"

Zuo Qi replied: "The boatman is called Qi Da. He is an old boatman in Qiantang. He has been sailing for decades and has skilled and superb skills. He is a famous expert."

Looking for such a boatman, is Zhou Ying'er going to go out to sea?

"Since Qi Da is traveling far away, he should explain his family clearly where he goes and set his return date before he can leave with confidence. If you ask his family, there should be clues."

Zuo Qi smiled bitterly and said, "I asked, Qi Da only has one only son. He died of illness five years ago. His wife also died of excessive injuries last year. She is now a widower. She left without any worries."

Xu You stopped suddenly, followed He Rubing behind him and frowned, "Zhou Ying'er thoughtful and acted closely together, leaving no flaws. I underestimated him. If he had such a heart, then he chose Qi Da not only because Qi Da had no family members to leak news, but more likely, even if such a carefree person never returns to Qiantang again, no one would think about or look for it..."

Zuo Tsu was startled and said, "Dare he dare to kill someone?"

He Ru rubbed his nose and poked his head out, saying angrily: "The so-called murder and robbery, he cheated even 500,000 yuan, and he would not care about taking a life!"

Zuo Qi has been in the army for a long time, and killing people is just a matter of little business, but people like Zhou Ying'er are just ordinary, at most they can only make a fuss and earn some small money from their commissions, but they can become a crazy person who kills and robs in a flash.

Why is this happening?

Zuo Qiong had doubts in his heart.

Xu You sighed: "In this way, the world is so big, and there is no trace anymore!"

"That's not necessarily!"

He Ru took out a piece of hemp paper from his sleeve, folded it into a square shape, and there was a cold plum in the upper left corner. Xu You took it and saw that there was only one sentence on it: "Ying'er asked if the northern part of the country was bitter and cold, and bought a large number of cold-proof objects. He left on a boat at the end of the Youth hour last night and headed towards Wuxian."

Xu You looked at He Ru, and did not ask him where he got the news, saying, "The source is reliable?"

"reliable!"

Xu You paused, and before they knew it, they had already walked to the shore of Qiantang Lake, looking up at the rippling waves of water, with a shimmering tone, and said, "Zhou Ying'er wants to escape north?"

Zuo Qiong expressed his disbelief and said: "Zhou Ying'er is a small tooth who has grown up in Jiangdong for generations. Even if he has a huge sum of money, he is humble and has no power. How could he go privately to Wei through layers of border searches?"

"Yes!" Xu You stood by the lake with his hands behind his back and said, "If you break the law, you can escape north casually. I am afraid that there will be no more wronged souls in the Huangsha Prison in Jinling. Where will the national law of Da Chu be majestic?"

He Ru and he stood side by side and sneered: "The Great Chu country has been established for a hundred years. Although there are many Han people who fled south, there are also many people who fled north. In addition to prisoners, monks, nuns, Taoists, slaves and Qi people, there are also some scholars with excellent talents and good reading of poetry and books. Don't forget that in the tenth year of Jianning, the Yang family of Qingzhou's Huamen fled into the territory of Wei. The Emperor of Wei made a big fuss and even sent envoys to hold the letter of the country to humiliate An Shiyu, which was said to be a joke in the world."

In the tenth year of Jianning, when the battle between Chu and Wei was in full swing, Qingzhou was on the front line, and almost all the defense line was broken. Except for a few strategic areas, the rest of the guards were not tight, and it was not a big deal for people to escape from the clan. Compared with the number of people coming from the north and the south, this loss can be ignored.

"The times are different, the situation is different. There has been no war between the north and the south for many years. The railway line operated on a thousand-mile border is just like that. Unless you secretly collude with the defenders, even a bird will be insurmountable!"

He Ru smiled without saying a word, picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it out diagonally. The stone hit three water floats on the water surface and sank down with a gurgle.

Xu You looked at him and said strangely: "According to your opinion, can Zhou Ying'er go through the way to defend the army? He is a foreigner, even if he uses 500,000 or 600,000 yuan to smash it, he may not be able to smash the gate of the military mansion."

"Zhou Ying'er doesn't need to make friends with the defenders. Those people are evil wolves who eat people and don't spit bones. He doesn't have the courage or the way." He Ru's eyes flashed and he said softly: "However, there is a kind of person who can help Zhou Ying'er easily escape the search of the defenders."

Xu You was stunned for a moment and understood immediately. He bent down and picked up a stone, threw it into the lake from a distance, and smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't expect it!"

Zuo Qi said anxiously: "Oh, don't play the puzzle, two men, please don't play the puzzle anymore. What's the matter?"

Xu You smiled and said, "Do you remember Gu Yun and I got drunk and stayed in the county government all night?"

"Remember, I even said, "Your husband, you are pretending to be drunk..."

"That stay allowed me to see the luxury of Gu's family! The salt used by Gu Yun to entertain guests was actually the condensed fat transported from the Hedong Salt Pond!"

"Ah? Coagulant salt?"

Zuo Qi opened his mouth wide. Yuan's family advocated purity and emptiness, which was considered to be a relatively simple among the top clans, so he never thought that the Chinese family of Gu's family, who were the next level in Wujun, was so luxurious that they could use condensed salt to clean the mouth.

Xu You smiled and said, "I'm shocked. I was in the same mood as you. However, this is not the point. The point is, how did the condensed salt be transported from Wei?"

As long as there are national borders and demand products, there will be smuggling. There will be smuggling, and there will be collusion between officials and businessmen. This is the truth that has not changed forever. Chu and Wei are mortal enemies, and the borders are not open to trade. However, the fur, pearls, jade, horses, salt, iron, spices and textiles of the Northern Dynasties were needed by the Southern Dynasties, and rice, wine, embroidery, brocade, silk, pen and ink, and books were also needed by the Northern Dynasties, which gave birth to a huge underground trading market. Many bold merchants took the risk of being confiscated and exterminated their families, and seized a lot of wealth.

Gu Yun's condensed salt was transported to Jiangdong through this way. It was both luxurious and expensive, and was a common object for showing off his wealth among the clans. The so-called law does not punish the masses, and the court turned a blind eye. As long as it was not caught when smuggling the border, it was generally considered that this kind of thing that only the Northern Dynasties did not exist.

Seeing that Xu You finally figured out this level, He Ru expressed his opinion and said, "Zhou Ying'er has been doing things for many years and must have met many merchants from all over the country. Among them, there might be Baiwu merchants who can cross the border and enter and exit the Wei Kingdom at will."

"Baiwu Shang?"

"The poem "The Essential Plot" written by Cao Zijian of the Wei Dynasty has a poem that "Zi Dan is in the west and the black and white horses are born with horns" to use it as a metaphor for things that cannot be achieved. These merchants can move unobstructed in the dangerous land of the northern barbarians, turn their hands into clouds and turn their hands into rain, just like black birds with white heads and horses are born with horns. They can be used by others, so they secretly call them Baiwu Shang."

"So that's it!" Xu You said decisively: "Zhou Ying'er has been running away for a day and night, and now she can't catch up. I will go to see Du Sansheng immediately and write a letter, asking him to send someone to Wuxian to meet Gu Yun."

He Ru nodded and said, "The Gu family's sect should have a white-wu merchant who knows how to cross privately. There will not be too many privately traversing areas on the border, but only Jingzhou and Qingzhou. Since Zhou Ying'er went west to Jingzhou and passed by Jinling, the thief will be brave. Jinling is the imperial capital, and the thieves are captured everywhere, so he will never dare to go. Therefore, I predict that 70% of him may take refuge in Qingzhou."

Zuo Qi was also excited and said, "In this way, only three or five elite troops need to rush to the private ferry area to wait for Zhou Ying'er, and let him have a thousand tricks to be the fish under the cauldron."

Xu You smiled and said, "I just want to trouble Gu Yun to pay the money, I can't bear it."

He Ru snorted and said, "As the magistrate of Qiantang County, he has ruled out traitors, so it is natural to do some effort. Qilang should not worry about others first. I think that Fang Xiu Niang is not an easy person. If you really want to make trouble, I see what you will do!"

Xu You's smile froze on his face, and he suddenly had a headache.
