Jingzhou. Putuo Mountain.
The seven hosts sat cross-legged in the Buddhist hall. The hall was filled with smoke and gave a peaceful atmosphere.
The faint sound of scriptures suddenly stopped, and someone walked into the hall.
Among the seven hosts, except for Wuyu, the others stopped reciting scriptures or beating wooden fish.
The person who came was none other than Pengyue Zuo, the shepherd of Jingzhou.
"Lord Zhou Mu doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, why are you here?" one of the hosts asked.
"The army is short of food. I would like to ask you, Putuo Mountain, to provide food and wealth to supply military supplies." Zuo Pengyue said calmly.
Wuyu said, "Good. The war in Yuzhou is tense right now, and I, Jingzhou, should also stay in peace and prepare for war in advance. Tomorrow I will send someone to raise money and food to send to your army."
Zuo Pengyue added, "It is currently difficult to recruit troops. There is a shortage of sergeants in the army. I would like to recruit ambitious people from your Putuo Mountain to join the army."
Wuyu paused for a moment and said, "Good, my Buddha is merciful, and the suffering of the people is also our suffering. Just go and speak out to summon them. If there are disciples in the sect who want to go, we will not stop them."
Zuo Pengyue was silent for a long time after hearing this.
You must know that these two things about him are extraordinary.
The food and property provided to the army is not a small amount. How can ordinary sects afford it? That is to say, the Putuoshan family has a huge business and occupies the entire Jingzhou, but this is also quite painful for it.
As for the second one, it's even more unusual. Recruiting disciples to fight in a sect means poaching for a sect.
After all, this is a sect, not somewhere else, and what Zuo Pengyue said was to go to Putuo Mountain to recruit disciples, not to let Putuo Mountain join the battle as the entire sect.
This means that no matter what price Putuo Mountain pays in this battle, it will not gain any reputational benefits, but will instead damage itself.
Therefore, even if he went as a state pastor, those sects would politely come up with a lot of excuses to refuse, and it was absolutely impossible for him to agree.
However, Mount Putuo agreed...
Zuo Pengyue went straight to the huge Buddha statue, looked up at the Buddha statue and said, "I have some doubts and I want to ask the Buddha to answer it for me, but I can't see the Buddha. How can I get him to answer it for me?"
The six hosts were silent, not knowing what they were thinking.
Wuyu was silent for a long time, "Master Zhou Mu, do you... have any other requests? If not, please..."
"I said, I want to ask Buddha to help me resolve my doubts." Zuo Pengyue said coldly.
Wuyu said, "If you have a clear and empty Buddha mind, you will naturally be able to see the true Buddha."
"Where can I see it?"
"You can see it everywhere!"
"Since I see the real Buddha, then all the answers I get come from my heart, so what is the use of the real Buddha?"
"The true Buddha enlightens wisdom and enlightens ignorance. However, all living beings are suffering. If you want to be free, you need to save yourself. The Buddha is just the one who leads the way."
"Guide the way? I wonder if Buddha can guide a wanderer on his way home?" Zuo Pengyue said coldly.
At this time, there was a brief silence in the hall.
Bada
The unburned incense in the incense burner suddenly went out inexplicably, and the incense embers broke and fell.
The figures of the six hosts flickered in and out, and finally disappeared, leaving only Wuyu sitting on the futon.
Wuyu sighed and shook his head, his old and wrinkled face full of vicissitudes of life.
"Buddha's abilities are probably limited. He can't save everyone in the world, and he can't change many things. That's why Buddhist scriptures teach people to let go and to tolerate and give in."
Zuo Pengyue turned around, waved his sleeves, and walked out of the hall.
Outside the palace, the sky is filled with golden light, countless temples are standing there, and all the pedestrians on the street are smiling.
Under the teachings of Mount Putuo, the people in Taihua City have support for their old age and support for their young. They are willing to do good deeds and do good deeds, which has penetrated into everyone's heart.
However, beneath the happiness here, there is a dark secret hidden. This secret may make the almighty, beautiful and kind Buddha hide his face in tears, and cause a storm in the entire Taihua City.
Seeing the bustling scene, Zuo Pengyue felt a sense of sadness in his heart, and he couldn't help but chant in a low voice.
"Withered vines, old trees and dim crows, small bridges and flowing water, people's houses, the west wind and thin horses on the ancient roads, the setting sun, the heartbroken people at the end of the world..."
…………
On the border of Yuzhou, a remote town.
The war has swept through most of Yuzhou. The originally fertile land has been trampled hard by the hard iron hooves. It can no longer grow crops. The rich people packed up their belongings and fled to other places early, but those without money People who couldn't run away either found a nearby deep mountain and forest to hide in, or they stayed at home and prayed not to be targeted by those crazy soldiers.
And this disaster brought not only the flames of war, but also famine and struggle.
Farmers who faced the loess and turned their backs to the sky had to abandon their land and leave their hometowns to avoid war. No one was cultivating food, which caused the price of food to skyrocket. Many people who could not survive had to engage in robbery and theft to make a living.
Yuzhou is the land of Jianghu warriors. It can be said that many people know a few martial arts under the influence of their ears and eyes.
Nowadays, banditry is everywhere. It is very difficult for ordinary officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits. In addition, the army is in chaos. The government does not even know how to resist Yan Mo's millions of troops. How can they free up their hands to deal with these bandits? A bandit.
It is conceivable how great the disaster caused by a war. Even if Yuzhou wins this battle, it will still take several years and a lot of human resources to deal with the bandits that have become a climate.
Ping An Restaurant.
The spring snow on the eaves has barely melted away, and there is still a hint of coldness in the air. Taking a deep breath makes people feel quite exciting.
There was a stove in the room, and the blackened cheap charcoal was burning while releasing acrid and eye-piercing smoke.
But no one seems to care about this, or they have become accustomed to it.
The presbyopic man sitting at the counter folded his hands in his sleeves and fell asleep while sitting, making loud and soft snoring sounds.
The lame man was also lying on the table, dozing off.
The two old men sitting at the wine table were sipping wine, eating peanuts, and chatting casually.
"The world is in chaos now. I heard that the county magistrate in our county was dragged out and beheaded by some generals a few days ago. It was a scary sight!"
"Yes, yes, I happened to go to the county to buy salt that day, and I happened to see the execution scene at the intersection of Xishi Street. The blood was boiling, Lao Gao."
The two old men were filled with emotion.
"Huh? What?! The county prince was killed!"
At this time, two figures suddenly came to the door, it was Old Orion Wei and his daughter Wei Chaoyu.
Old Orion Wei shouted so loudly that the presbyopic people at the counter who were already asleep at the counter were so frightened that they almost fell to the counter.
"Old Man Liu, Old Man Li, you two just said that the county magistrate was killed?!" Old Orion Wei put down the sack in his hand and hurried to the table where they were sitting.
Both of them were shocked.
At this time, Old Orion Wei was in a very embarrassed state, his face was unkempt and covered in dust, his clothes were in tatters and his sleeves had several cuts cut out, and a few wads of cotton inside were exposed, and his hands were covered with calluses. There were roughly two circles of cloth wrapped around it, and herbal medicine seemed to be applied inside. It was a large dark mass, with faint traces of dried blood visible.
The lame man, who was awakened by the movement, was also startled when he saw this, "Old Orion Wei, you were shocked. The murder of the county magistrate happened several days ago."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Wei has been up the mountain again these days. No wonder I haven't seen you here drinking for a few days. This matter has long been spread in our town, and everyone knows it!"
"Lame man, come on, come on, let us boil a bottle of wine. Mr. Wei has just come down from the mountain and is covered in cold, so don't freeze your body."
Old Man Liu and Old Man Li both looked at Mr. Wei with concern.
The lame man heard the sound and said hello, then poured a bottle of wine and walked to the backyard.
"Ms. Biao, please go to the front and help. I've got a sack of treasures from Wei Orion. Little boss, you also go to the front to help."
"You're such a cripple, you can't move your hands even if your legs are broken, right? If you don't move yourself, someone else's abandoned child is still practicing martial arts! Don't disturb them!"
Aunt Biao's rough voice could be heard through the backyard and into the house.
Wei Chaoyu walked towards the backyard carrying a thick sack. Blood stains could be seen everywhere on the sack, which looked very scary.
And this sack didn't look light either. Mr. Wei and Wei Chaoyu had always carried it together before.
But as soon as Mr. Wei entered the store and sat down, his butt felt as if there were nails and he couldn't move it any further.
In other words, Chao Yu was used to doing heavy work, otherwise a young man might not be able to carry such a big sack with heavy animal meat inside.
"Oh, sister Chaoyu, why did you give us a yard? Here, I was just going to help you. Oh, it's all this damn lame guy's fault. He's getting lazier and lazier. He just wants to be lazy and slippery."
While scolding the lame man, Aunt Biao helped Wei Chaoyu carry the sack into the yard.
"Ouch, this is really heavy. What kind of big wild animals did you hit this time? Counting the days, you haven't been here for several days." Aunt Biao asked, putting down the sack.
"We brought a big wild boar. My father and I squatted on the mountain for several days before we shot the wild boar. There is a saying that this wild boar is really difficult to deal with. My father's hand was still hurt. He was a little injured. But he refused to go to the hospital for treatment. He insisted on coming here for a drink first. But..." Speaking of this, Wei Chaoyu couldn't help but feel a little sad. Through the door, she glanced at her father sitting there. The figure in the room looked a little dull.
"He heard the news that the county grandpa was killed as soon as he came in. The county grandpa was very close to my father in the past. I remember my dad said that at the time, the county grandpa was just a poor scholar, preparing to go to Chang'an to take the imperial examination, but he passed by I was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake while here. My father accidentally discovered him in the mountains and kindly treated him and gave him some money.
At that time, he told my father that he would repay my father one day, but my father didn't care. He only said that if he could become an official in the future, he could also be a good official.
And later he really got the honors and came here to become the county magistrate.
He also truly became a good official and managed the county in an orderly manner. My father often brought some game to the county to have a drink with him. Every time he came back after drinking, my father always smiled and praised the county magistrate as a good official who could do things for the people. It's a pity that now..." Wei Chaoyu sighed, his eyes full of loneliness.
