"Master, please come with us!" the visitor said happily.
Zhu Chongba clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, that's good!" He pulled Xiaobao and followed the visitor. He didn't mean to blame Xiaobao at all. On the contrary, he admired Xiaobao very much. He believed that Xiaobao must have understood what he meant before doing this.
The so-called wise man must make mistakes after he thinks a lot. If one day Zhu Chongba finds out that Xiaobao actually just wants to eat chicken, I don’t know what Zhu Chongba will think. But this is something Zhu Chongba will never know.
To be honest, it seems now that this is the beginning of Emperor Zhu Chongba's journey. It is difficult to be an emperor, and it is even more difficult to be the founding emperor. All new dynasties are built on the ruins of the old dynasty. , the difficulty is not great.
Also, everything in the new dynasty is brand new. Although it has absorbed the characteristics of the old dynasty, the new atmosphere is still the main thing. Where do these new things come from? Of course it comes from exploration.
Not long after, they came to a gate. It looked like a wealthy family. If Zhu Chongba hadn't seen it before, he would have been surprised. Now, being new to him was not a big deal, but he found this. One family is different from others.
Although Zhu Chongba was not a nationalist, he still loved the traditions of his own nation more. This family was a bit nondescript, but he didn't say anything, he just looked at it. He completely believed in one sentence in his heart, that is, existence is reasonable.
Xiaobao watched with great interest, and asked questions from time to time. He didn't know the answers to many questions, but before he could speak, the uncle who was leading the way spoke, "Let me tell you, you guys finally Someone spoke, and it really choked me to death. Our master is a smart man! Within a hundred miles around, our master’s family is number one, so be it! When the matter is finished, if you have time, I can I’ll tell you three days and three nights. Come in!”
Following the uncle, Zhu Zhongba and Xiaobao entered the mansion. As soon as they entered, it was really refreshing. Although Zhu Zhongba had seen people in the market, he had never seen such an arrangement. As the saying goes, before No mulberries are planted, no willows are planted in the back, and no ghosts are planted in the courtyard to clap their hands, but this family does not care about these. After passing the screen, the style of the painting changes again, it is magnificent and magnificent, just like a palace. It is really confusing.
The leader walked slower and slower, and became more and more cautious. Zhu Chongba followed suit behind, and he also held Xiaobao in hand to prevent Xiaobao from getting lost. After all, this yard is really too big. Zhu Chongba said heartily that this was just a country squire from a small place, and it was really unimaginable that he would have such a grand pomp!
In Zhu Chongba's heart, he hated such people very much. Maybe this came from the original "him"! This shows how deep this kind of hatred is.
Finally, the leader in front stopped leaving. Zhu Chongba could no longer remember where he was. He passed through many courtyards and entered at least three courtyards, or more. This made Zhu Chongba very curious about the owner of the house. This Is the family an official family?
There was a mourning hall in front of him. This was unmistakable. Zhu Chongba was surprised to see a lot of people. Although there were many people, there was no sound. Moreover, he also saw his fellow Taoists, at least eight or nine monks and Taoist priests. There were many, not to mention those who wore mourning clothes, but they didn't even cry.
I saw the leader saying to the coffin, "The monks and Taoists are all here, shall we start?"
At this time, the coffin lid suddenly opened, and a person sat up from inside. Xiaobao was so frightened that he threw himself into Zhu Chongba's arms. Xiaobao was a smart child, and he had already covered himself. Q. Zhu Chongba was also startled. Maybe he had seen too many dead people along the way, but he quickly returned to normal.
"Everyone has worked hard, and now the ceremony begins." After saying this, the man lay in the coffin again, and the coffin lid slowly closed.
Zhu Chongba said in his heart, "It's been a long time since we've seen each other, and now we're offering a living sacrifice. What does this guy do?" But Zhu Chongba understood that no one would answer his question at least now.
The ceremony began, and everyone followed the host's arrangements and did their own things. For a while, there was loud crying, Buddhist and Taoist things, and no one heard them. In fact, it was very simple. The monks and Taoists here together, also There are not as many people crying in mourning.
Those hungry people who fled to beg for food died in the wilderness without anyone asking, but here they were conducting life sacrifices. This was simply nonsense. Zhu Chongba was filled with righteous indignation, but he did not speak. He understood that the little strength he had now did not exist at all. use.
Suddenly, a group of people were arrested. Yes, there were many people. They were all young people about the same age as Zhu Chongba. They were all wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety. But it was obvious that these people were forced.
Then Zhu Chongba and the others saw a horrific scene, an inhumane scene. A man and a woman were pulled in front of the coffin, and then two aliens came from the side, each holding a big knife in their hands. Are they trying to kill someone?
Later, the foreigner changed his sword and penetrated the back of a man and a woman. Zhu Chongba saw the scene with his own eyes. He was about to burst into flames. Damn it, these are simply inhuman!
Such a person actually still performs Buddhist services hypocritically. If the Buddha were to bless such a devil, there would be nothing he could do about it. Xiaobao hugged him tightly. Zhu Chongba glanced at Xiaobao. Xiaobao's tears had fallen, and Zhu Chongba also held back his tears.
Seeing innocent people being killed, Zhu Chongba felt extremely painful, but now he had no choice but to recite scriptures about the bliss of rebirth in his heart for these two people who died in vain. Apart from that, he Nothing can be done.
The most painful thing in life is this. Such things made Zhu Chongba feel powerless and tempered his state of mind. Slowly, his ambition also grew. It is already very difficult to do ordinary things well, let alone do big things.
The blood of the murdered man flowed all over the ground, but none of the people wearing sackcloth and mourning had any other expressions, as if they had seen such things often, as if it was not a person who was killed, but two people. Just chicken.
Later, Zhu Chongba couldn't remember clearly when the Buddhist ceremony ended or how he left this family. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was lying on a bed with a person lying next to him, it was Xiaobao. where is this? He did not wake up Xiaobao, but slowly got out of bed.
