Chapter 65: Drive the Buddha's path

Liu Biao, who survived the crisis once again, really settled in the position of the governor of Jingzhou this time.

The princes of the world looked down on Guo Jia and would think that Liu Biao defeated Guo Jia and was not worth mentioning. However, Liu Biao defeated Guo Jia first within a year and retreated Yuan Shu. His reputation suddenly rose. No prince dared to underestimate Liu Biao.

"Lord, food and grass are small profits, fame is great righteousness, and fame is great righteousness. Taking small profits and giving up big righteousness is unwise. What does Guo Jia need most now? In fact, it is not food and grass, but the identity recognized by the people of the world and the status of equality with the princes, so he does not share the same relationship with Yuan Shu. Although the agreement with Zhou Tai was not the lord, even if he broke the contract, it was my own crime. But the people of the world did not think so. Guo Jia especially did not think so. Although Yuan Shu was defeated, he was determined to attack Jingzhou. If Yuan Shu regrouped and attacked Jingzhou in the future, Guo Jia would definitely not sit on the wall. At that time, the name of his attack on Jingzhou would be my fault today. If the lord made up his mind to refuse to give Guo Jia food and grass, then I would like to resign and return home, so that it would not be an excuse for Guo Jia to attack the army in the future."

Liu Biao was in a dilemma. Kuai Yue firmly advised him to give him food and grass to Guo Jia. This matter was considered to be Kuai Yue's decree first and then report, but he was urgently in power. At that time, Yuan Shu was about to go south, and Guo Jia pretended to move in Badong County. No matter what Guo Jia's real intention was, Jingzhou could not take risks. Therefore, Kuai Yue agreed to Zhou Tai's affairs. Liu Biao had no objection after learning about it at the first time, but now after defeating Yuan Shu, Liu Biao hesitated again.

In Liu Biao's eyes, Guo Jia was always a traitor, and there was no possibility of peaceful coexistence between the two. As long as Guo Jia had enough strength to swallow Jingzhou and resist the princes of Guandong, he would definitely come to the east. Therefore, if you give Guo Jia food and grass, wouldn't it be a resource for the enemy to raise the thief?

Kuai Yue had already made it clear that Jingzhou was surrounded by enemies on three sides and could not give anyone a handle. After hesitating for a long time, Liu Biao nodded in agreement with Kuai Yue's opinion.

He took the order and prepared to escort the food and grass to Guo Jia. Kuai Yue took a few steps back and left.

As soon as Kuai Yue left, Yi Ji walked in from outside and saluted Liu Biao and said, "Lord, Zhuge Xuan from the Zhuge family of Langya County came with his family and the elderly and young, and it seemed that he wanted to settle down in Jingzhou."

Liu Biao was happy and looked out. After hearing this, he walked out and said as he walked, "Is it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar."

After taking office as the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao not only quickly gained military power, but also refused to be a foreign enemy, but also served with kindness and power, and was able to induce people to purge them thousands of miles away, and the people were convinced. He opened scriptures and established scholars, loved the people and raised scholars, and was supported by literati and scholars. Many exiled northern scholars were willing to come to Jingzhou to take refuge.

After getting the food and supplies sent by Liu Biao, Guo Jia gained a lot in the battle between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, but he was not satisfied with his ambition. Such small profits were not worthy of his complacent.

The autumn harvest just passed and winter was about to come, but Guo Jia, under the escort of the personal guards, headed towards Mount Emei, which is the most beautiful in the world.

After getting married for almost a year, Zhen Jiang finally got what he wanted and became pregnant with Guo Jia's flesh and blood. This time she went to Mount Emei because she wanted to go to Mount Emei Middle Taoist Temple to fulfill her wishes and pray for blessings while she was still able to walk around.

Mount Emei is covered with mountains, with majestic mountains and a vast atmosphere. It is worthy of the fact that there are four seasons in a mountain and ten miles of different skys.

Originally, there was a Buddhist missionary on Mount Emei, but after Guo Jia took over Yizhou, he wiped out Buddhist disciples and uprooted Buddhism in Yizhou. Zuo Ci and Yu Ji built Taoist palaces on Mount Emei. Most of the people who worked for them were the former Yingchuan villagers who came spontaneously. Although Zuo Ci did not have the image of a benefactor in their hearts as Guo Jia, he was also an "old god" who made them grateful for his virtue. Yu Ji's some tricks were also quite convincing, adding a lot of divine and human color to him.

Religious belief is an indispensable spiritual destination for human beings. Guo Jia knows this well. He used to be an atheist, but now he believes it a little bit. But no matter now or in the future, someone will choose a religion as his belief. Promoting atheism and scientism cannot stop religious invasion. It is better to be distracted than to block it. Since Guo Jia cannot stop the rise of religion, he can only guide. Instead of letting foreign Buddhism form the mainstream in China, it is better to support the native Taoism.

In the West, religion is above imperial power, and in the East, religion is the tool of the rulers. It is a good thing to make good use of this.

When Zuo Ci Yuji planned to build a Taoist temple, Guo Jia did not object, but instead gave great convenience. The children of the villagers spontaneously went to rebuild the palaces left by Buddhism, but Guo Jia did not stop them. He just told Zuo Ci Yuji very clearly that when Taoism absorbed disciples, the number was strictly controlled, and Taoist sects could not just recite scriptures but not do things like Buddhism, practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, save lives and help the wounded. Taoist sects must uphold justice and justice and base themselves on the world.

Zuo Ci and Yu Ji's Tianshi Palace is located on a beautiful mountain. From the bottom of the mountain, the stone steps pave the road and look up. The palace is majestic and the fog is dazzling, and it does feel like a fairy cloud is floating.

Now the personal guards have expanded to 3,000. This time, Guo Jia asked Xiao Yi to bring only one thousand people. His arrival was suddenly not planned in advance, so he was not worried that someone would be planning to do something wrong.

Xiao Yi took the personal guards to go up the mountain with Guo Jia, but was stopped by Guo Jia.

It was enough to just let Xiao Yi take dozens of people to protect him. He helped Zhen Jiang get off the carriage with the outstanding appearance. Guo Jia was careful and did not dare to be careless. After Zhen Jiang got off the carriage, two more people got off the carriage. The two little girls who were as beautiful as flowers were Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao.

The two sisters-in-law have become silent since Guo Jia and Zhen Jiang got married, and seem to want to pretend to be a ladylike temperament. However, every time they see Guo Jia, they feel like they have ADHD, and they can't calm down, which makes Guo Jia laugh and cry.

Seeing that the stone steps up the mountain seemed to have no end, the tilt of the road was a bit thrilling. Zhen Tuo and Zhen Daoyi supported Zhen Jiang on the left and right, for fear that she would make a mistake.

"I'll do it." Guo Jia walked over and helped Zhen Jiang up the mountain himself.

Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao puffed up their cheeks unhappily, but didn't say anything else.

"Husband, I can still walk this little road, so there is no need to be like this." Zhen Jiang's eyes were filled with love, and Guo Jia's considerate made her feel warm.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "It's better to be careful."

After saying that, the group began to step up the mountain on the stone steps.

When Guo Jia visited, Zuo Ci and Yu Ji were surprised, but immediately made the Taoist disciples of the Taoist temple take action. Although they were pure and weak, they could not put on extravagant situations, their sincerity could be expressed.

Some young Taoist disciples stood along the stone steps from top to bottom to welcome Guo Jia.

Most of these Taoist disciples were orphans taken in by Guo Jia. They each have their own ambitions. Some children have been indifferent from childhood and do not seek worldly fame and fortune. So they followed Zuo Ci Yuji to practice Taoism. Guo Jia forced them to go on the path of their choice and allowed them to embark on the path of their choice.

"Two seventy-three, two hundred seventy-four, two hundred and seventy-five..." Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao followed Guo Jia with each other's hands, counting the number of stone steps while going up the mountain.

Suddenly he stopped and looked back, Zhen Tuo felt dizzy and looked down from the heights, feeling like he was about to fall when he stood on the heights. When his body shook, Zhen Tuo seemed to be about to fall. If he really fell down, he would be either dead or injured.

When he was in a daze and was frightened, Zhen Tuo was suddenly grabbed by someone and stopped her from falling down. He looked up and Guo Jia was shaking his head slightly at her.

"I said I wouldn't let you come, but I insisted on coming. Okay, take my arm, and say, you can hold my waist behind me."

Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao were blushing, half of them were ashamed. They really didn't dare to go up the mountain alone now. Zhen Tuo happily reached out to bypass Guo Jia's armpit and hugged his arm in his arms. Zhen Dao lowered his head and didn't even dare to look at the way. He pinched Guo Jia's waist tightly and followed behind with both hands.

"Oh, how many have you counted just now?" Zhen Dao suddenly raised his head and asked to his sister.

Zhen Tuo said without looking back: "I don't know, let's count down the mountain."

Zhen Jiang on the other side had no choice but to his two sisters. It would be great if they could be as knowledgeable as their fifth sister Zhen Mi since childhood, quiet and calm.

It took more than an hour to arrive in front of the Tianshi Palace, which is located on the flat side of the mountain, and there is a road to go up the mountain behind it. On the top of the mountain is where Zuo Ci and Yu Ji Guantian do rituals.

"I'm Zuo Ci."

"I am lucky."

"Welcome to the General."

The two old Taoists with fairy style and Taoist roots led their disciples to greet Guo Jia in front of the Tianshi Palace.

Letting go of Zhen Jiang, patted Zhen Tuo, who was still unwilling to let go. Guo Jia walked up and came to the two old Taoists, and smiled and said, "Old Taoist Zuo, I feel uncomfortable when you called me a little grandfather ten years ago, but now, I hope you still call me a little grandfather, so that it makes me feel warm."

"Then I dare to continue to call the general the young grandfather. How are you doing recently?" Zuo Ci was actually not very old and had a deep friendship with Guo Jia. Although he did not follow Guo Jia to fight north and south, he made an unignorable contribution to Guo Jia's achievements today. He has always taught his children martial arts, which not only helped them strengthen their bodies, but also made Zuo Ci's contribution to Guo Jia's current personal guards.

Guo Jia smiled heartily, looked back at Zhen Jiang, and said, "Business is still the same as before, but I am here to accompany my wife. Recently, I have heard that the wife is happy, so I came to pray for blessings and fulfill my wishes."

When Zuo Ci heard this, he was happy. Putting aside his identity, he was happy for Guo Jia for more than ten years since his friendship with Guo Jia.

"That's such a happy event, I will naturally congratulate the young master. It's cold and the wind is cold. The young master should take his wife to go in with me to talk."

Zuo Ci turned sideways and opened his hand to invite Guo Jia to go first.

Without silence, Guo Jia held Zhen Jiang's hand and walked inward. When he passed by Yuya, Guo Jia stopped again and asked with a teasing look: "Master, have you resolved the blood disaster?"

At that time, Yu Ji wanted to go against the will of heaven and change his fate to join Guo Jia, because Zuo Ci said that Guo Jia was a person with an abnormal fate and could even change the fate of the people around him. Yu Ji tried it with the mentality of being a living horse. Years passed, and the haze in his heart disappeared, knowing that the disaster in his destiny had been eliminated.

"Young lady should stop laughing at me." Yu Ji smiled bitterly, but his heart was filled with joy...
