Chapter 102 Feeling at ease
After Xu Fengnian finished speaking, he noticed that the height of Guanyin Bodhisattva beside him was slightly better than that of him. She was walking barefoot. Xu Fengnian was already very outstanding. Most of the men in the cold land were burly and strong. Xu Fengnian did not look short at all. When he arrived in Jiangnan, he showed his figure even more slender. Among the women around him, Jiang Ni was still growing. Women like Yu Youwei and Shu Xi were half a head shorter than him, but the female Dharma King was taller than His Royal Highness. Not to mention how different she was in clothes and temperament, just this height that stood out from the crowd was quite eye-catching.
After the two passed each other, Xu Fengnian turned his head and stared at the Red Sect King of the Landa Mountain with no grace. The dull-looking monk Longshou passed by and clasped his hands together again, saying hello to His Highness alone. The two met twice in Beiliang City. In addition, although Xu Fengnian had a bad reputation, he was close to Shimen Buddhism. Beiliang knew all this, so the monk Longshou was born without any resentment to Xu Fengnian.
The great monk in red robes threw him with peaches, and Xu Feng reported him with plums every year, nodding slightly. Because of the princess' respect for Buddhism, Xu Fengnian loved the house and the ninth century, and was very proficient in the Buddhist sects. He did not degrade the Taoist principles. He still agreed with the Taoist statement that the Central Plains was basically in the Taoist world, but he had been influenced by Xu Xiao's grudges and the Taoist sect since childhood. Once compared, he could not help but have some views on some Taoist figures.
In fact, Buddhism has always been called Western religion by the Central Plains scholars, with a strong derogatory meaning. After the Spring and Autumn Period and the National War, the old people who lost their country and lost their fame and fortune in the early days were all avoiding the world and escaping from the world. Once they chose Shimen, they were widely criticized by the world, and they were called "fearing death and escaping Zen". The old monk was scolded as a hero. However, as the emperor began to worship Buddha, there were changes. There were no less than ten thousand monks in the capital alone, but the Shimen had no leader, which was far less than that of the Taoist sect that Longhu Mountain was respected.
The old monk Yang Taisui in black was an imperial teacher of two dynasties. He had enough skills and qualifications. He was the best candidate for the Shimen who held the ox ears. Unfortunately, the old monk in the sick tiger was a rootless duckweed. He even broke off relations with his family early. Even if he taught the dragon sons and grandsons, he would have a stern face. It was rumored that he didn't know how many pieces of feather dusters in Danei were broken by him. The princesses were afraid of this old monk. In the palace, Princess Sui Zhu acted the most arrogantly, but even those who were not afraid of the heavens and earth said that they were afraid of the bad guys. In addition, the old monk in black refused visitors for more than ten years, so how could Monk Yang come to form a party? If he had no party and had a single hand, how could he have the power?
Guanyin in white clothes left gracefully and ignored Xu Fengnian's shameless and demanded freedom. As soon as she left, the dragon guard monk who had been willing to wait for 30 years had no reason to "draw the ground into a prison". She followed her back to Mount Lanta. Apart from the two Zen temples, the monks wanted to say that the poor monk came from Mount Lanta, but none of them could actually go to Mount Lanta. Xu Fengnian caught a glimpse of Jiang Ni looking at the back of the woman Dharma King, with a dazed look on her face, and couldn't help but laugh, "Want to follow Mount Lanta? Do you want to be a Ming concubine or a nun? I will explain to you in advance that eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha can be much harder than studying to earn money."
Li Chungang, who gently turned the magic talisman back to his hair, savored: "Is this woman from Lantuo Mountain the mind of practicing dual cultivation with you?"
Xu Fengnian said with regret, "I used to be afraid that her old cow would eat tender grass and refused to do so. Now it's her turn to dislike this prince. This is the world."
The old sword god finally seized an opportunity to mock Xu Fengnian, so he would not miss it. He said sarcastically: "Boy Xu, she said in front of a large group of people that you are not worthy of dual cultivation. Can your prince of Beiliang tolerate it? Wouldn't this be laughed at by the world when this is heard?"
Xu Fengnian said um, "It's best to laugh to death. I don't need to learn to learn to kill. When I see someone I don't like, I will tell them this joke. As I listen, they will laugh to death."
Old Man Li was stunned for a moment. Jiang Ni, who had finally come back to his senses, heard these rascals and said angrily: "You are so shameless!"
Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "Then do you give me a shameful way? Let a hundred people rush up and beat the Guanyin Empress? Or will she kneel on the ground and cry and beg her to practice both joyfully with me?"
The little clay man probably saw Xu Fengnian being looked down upon by the fairy sister in her heart. He was in a good mood. He turned his head and smiled and repeated, "Is it not worthy or not..."
Xu Fengnian deliberately left Jiang Ni for a while, looked at the city and sighed: "Tonight is a good day for hundreds of thousands of wild ghosts to leave the city."
Jiang Ni immediately shut up and subconsciously approached Xu Fengnian. Xu Fengnian took the lead in walking onto the suspension bridge. Xiangfan is a typical heroic city in military books. There is a bulging horse face on the outer edge of the city. Xu Fengnian walked across the moat and recalled the first offensive and defensive national war back then. He couldn't help but remember the Trojan cow in the attacking city. He turned to ask the old sword god behind him: "What is the reason for the name of the Trojan cow?"
Xu Fengnian seemed to wake up this question after asking, inappropriate. For the swordsman, being broken by his sword is tantamount to the greatest humiliation in his life, not to mention that he was broken by Wang Xianzhi with two fingers. Unexpectedly, Old Man Li was quite distracted and just nodded calmly: "The name of the Trojan Cattle is indeed due to the siege equipment you guessed, which means that the enemy in the world is all cities, and there is no Trojan Cattle that cannot be defeated. The forging of the Trojan Cattle is exactly the same as the divine talisman, both of which come from a flying stone outside the sky. The emperor of the previous dynasty sent people to visit immortals overseas. When he encountered a flying stone falling into the sea, he caused a thousand layers of waves. He picked it up from the bottom of the sea, half forged the Trojan Cattle, and half made the red armor of the talisman. The remaining essence was made into the dagger magic talisman on my head. The three of them came to the same destination. These three things can be called sisters and brothers."
Xu Fengnian joked: "That old senior and the little clay man are really destined to be together."
The old sword god smiled.
The ban on Xiangfan in Xiongcheng is so strict at night. For ordinary people, the top powerful people like Xu Fengnian who dares to fight against the Qingzhou Navy, and the gods of Lantu Mountain like Master Liuzhu, are of course coming and going casually. The ten-time captain of the city gate was instructed by Zhao Heng, King Jing'an, and it was not an obstacle. Otherwise, the meeting of soldiers would only make Xu Fengnian look better. You can't expect to make the prince of Beiliang defeated in such trivial matters. No one can say the farce on Chunshen Lake must be Xu Fengnian. After all, unlike in the past, the King of Beiliang, who was wearing a blue satin and a big python robe, stayed in the capital.
In the first morning of the Golden Palace, the king of different surname Peidao climbed the palace. Faced with the questioning of several meritorious ministers other than Zhang Julu, Gu Jiantang, and the three Grand Secretary of the Palace, the man slaughtered just standing alone and dozing off, and ignored one of them, making the two ministers so angry that they were filled with smoke. As for whether there was any fear behind the upright and angry face, it was unknown. There was a rumor in the capital that the King of Beiliang and the Iron Cavalry were stationed in Xiamawei Station, where the gates were deserted. The whole capital felt very happy and applauded. They said that this was the law of heaven, and those who lost their way would have few helpers. Beiliang had already finished their energy!
When I went down to Mawei Station, I was really neglected. In the inner courtyard, the King of Beiliang, dressed in a rich man, was drinking green ant wine with an old monk in black. The wine was specially brought from Liangzhou to Tai'an City by Xu Xiao, and the old guy nicknamed the Sick Tiger in front of me was forced to be brought by Xu Xiao. In fact, with the song "Brother's Snow" by his second daughter Xu Weixiong, most green ant wines were sold in the capital, but the King of Beiliang personally traveled thousands of miles with the spirits, and the gifts were light and affectionate. This is also a statement from Xu Xiao in the face of his old friends in a foreign land: You Yang Taisui don't think I am Xu Xiao is a friend, and you even have to stare at me for His Majesty the Emperor when you enter the city, but Xu Xiao still thinks you are a bald donkey as a friend. You invited me to drink as a farewell, and this reunion will also invite you to drink a pot of green ant wine.
The spring cold in the capital has long disappeared, and the cicadas keep chirping, but Xu Xiao seemed to be afraid of the cold, so he raised his hand and sighed, "When I left Beijing, I remember that there were 1,864 stations in the dynasty. Now that I have merged so many countries, it will not increase but decrease. Can I still have half of them left?"
The old monk in black said calmly: "Tai'an City, Tai'an City, the world is peaceful and stable. Why do you need to reappear the scene of the inns filled with feathers and edicts? Isn't this a good thing?"
Everyone knows that Xu Xiao had an inextricable feeling about post stations, because the Liyang Dynasty did not pay attention to the construction of post stations at the beginning. After Xu Xiao took over military power, he proposed the ten policies, among which post stations and horse governments were developed to the greatest extent in his hands. There were several political affairs that had died in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period and were still popularized before they could be popularized. The reduction of post stations was just a microcosm. When the Liyang Dynasty was at its peak, it was a post station, and post stations were the same as fish scales. One horse after another, and post stations were like meteors. Therefore, at the end of the national war, almost all the emperors of the country were escorted.
When I went to Tai'an City, I saw a thirty-mile post at the time, which would shock Xu Xiao's skills. Many famous generals who still complained about the right time and place after the defeat were convinced. Because the small post station had to involve many things such as post roads, each of them was extremely troublesome. Just the planting and maintenance of plants on both sides of the post roads, how much money would be spent on the treasury every year? At that time, the war was in full swing, and the foolish kings didn't say it. At most, the wise kings were also staring at the armor training, wishing that they would spend money today and tomorrow to see the results. For the ministers, they could persuade His Majesty the Emperor to spend money on a century-old plan like Xu Xiao?
Xu Xiao smiled and said, "It is naturally a good thing to look at in a short period of time. It is hard to say whether it is a good thing after you and me a hundred years."
Although the old monk in black was a monk, he also drank, took a sip and said in a plain tone: "You are very worried."
Xu Xiao smiled silently and said, "It's not a monk like you. I don't worry. I'm worthy of the heroes who fought with me back then? Who won the battle in this world?"
Yang Taisui frowned and said, "Zhang Julu will worry, and Gu Jiantang will worry too. Besides, if you help the First Emperor conquer the world, so what if you don't have you, Xu Laizi, there will always be Li Laizi, King Laizi, you will be proud of your contributions, but the First Emperor has no cunning rabbit and no lackeys. Isn't that enough to let you become the King of Beiliang?"
Xu Xiao whispered: "Enough. So when you pulled me to drink, I didn't do anything afterwards. The kindness you owe you and him back then was paid off."
Speaking of this, the old monk in black felt ashamed and stopped talking, looking a little lonely.
The woman had just entered the world, and the sword box only had the nine words "This sword soothes the world's injustice."
When the old emperor learned about it, he smiled and said that without this brother-in-law, there would be no Xu Xuxiao, and there would be no great country like me. The Great Liang Long Bird Sword can afford these nine words.
The strange woman only carved the last nine characters before her death. Every time she thought of it, the old monk in black felt ashamed because he was the best person in the world.
The old monk asked, "Then do you want me to drink?"
Xu Xiao snorted coldly and said, "If my wife had not been persuaded by me in those years after she arrived in Beiliang, saying that you have difficulties, even if I am generous, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you."
Yang Taisui smiled bitterly.
Xu Xiao took a sip of wine and sneered: "Next court meeting, Gu Jiantang dares to instigate a bunch of miscellaneous tricks again, so don't blame me for slashing him!"
Yang Taisui frowned and said, "Even if Gu Jiantang is empty-handed, you can't beat him. He is the best person in the world who uses swords."
Xu Xiao asked back, "If I cut him down, will he dare to fight back?! When I beheaded his direct line on the city and made it public, he dared to stop it? I didn't dare to do it back then, but now this kid is getting back to life, and he is even less afraid."
The old monk in black said, "It seems that he doesn't dare."
Xu Xiao smiled and said, "Isn't that all."
This is not the King of Beiliang wearing a five-clawed python robe, he is clearly a rogue in the market!
No wonder he could teach a son with unscrupulous character like Xu Fengnian.
Xu Xiao asked with a smile: "If I really cut Gu Jiantang to death, this time?"
Yang Taisui said calmly: "I have paid off the loyalty and righteousness that I owe back then. Since you can invite me to drink today, I can ask you to kill someone tomorrow and leave the capital."
Xu Xiao laughed and said, "You bald donkey, you are quite a bit conscientious."
The old monk in black kept silent.
No one in the world promises more than this sick tiger.
A pot of green ants soon became empty.
The old monk whispered: "You used to implicate the princess and live a uncomfortable life, but now you have implicated your children like this, especially Xu Fengnian, are you not a little guilty?"
Xu Xiao smiled frankly and said, "It's not a family. Once you enter the family, you don't have to eat. No matter what is free and uneasy, it's fate."
The old monk sighed.
Xu Xiao asked, "Do you know the Master of the Six Pearls of Nalanda Mountain?"
The old monk nodded and said, "This person did not hear from the outside in the first practice of practicing ears, which was not as good as the world. He had early attained the great liberation state of movement and stillness, and was a great wise man in Buddhism. He jumped from the first level to the eighth level. It was exactly the same as the new leader of Wudang Mountain who jumped into the celestial phenomena. They were both rare bodhisattvas."
Xu Xiao said oh and frowned.
The old monk asked, "I heard that this Red Sect Dharma King went to Xiangfan, aren't you worried?"
Xu Xiao murmured, "Why aren't you worried? She and Feng Nian are both practicing dual cultivation, but they are not practicing dual cultivation, so they are even more worried."
