Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 126 Donor, have you heard of Liberation Buddhism?
The Tubo warrior Bawu returned to his hometown.

Bawu is a low-ranking Gui in the former army of Shang Qixin'er's army.

Gui means warrior and the lowest nobleman in Tubo.

Bawu's father was Wen Mo, that is, a humble slave.

Through brave fighting, his father got rid of his status as a slave and became a glorious "Gui".

Bawu's father died of old age on the sickbed, making Bawu's family the laughing stock of all the nearby samurai families.

When Dongdao Dalun Shang Qixin picked up the big material collection and summoned his warriors to attack Datang with their own weapons and dry food, he took two slaves and his family's cattle and sheep excitedly to participate in the Northern Expedition .

But in this battle, Bawu saw a scene that he will never forget. Tang Jun didn't know what evil method he used.

The big banner of the former army general was also broken by the sorcery of the Tang people. The collapse of the Tubo front army spread to the central army, and Bawu managed to escape.

Bawu immediately asked to see the great host Dalun, and he told Dalun all he had seen and heard on the front line, and the great Dalun praised his contribution.

But Bawu was not happy for too long, the great Dalun asked: "Bawu, you are a warrior in the vanguard, why did you appear in the rear? Why didn't you die on the battlefield with your comrades?"

Now Bawu was stunned.

Shang Qi Xin'er continued: "I remember you. Before the war, I made a verdict for your dead Wen Mo. People who can't even control Wen Mo under his command have no courage to die with their companions. You know your sins." ?"

Bawu was so frightened that he knelt down and repeatedly begged Shang Qixin'er for mercy.

Only then did Shang Qixin say: "According to the law of the great Zanpu, you have committed the capital crime of running away, but Zanpu is born to forgive the people who committed crimes. You are the lowest grade Gui, and you can pay twenty silver. Atonement."

Bawu immediately took out the silver cake from his arms and put the silver cake on the ground.

All the slaves brought by Bawu died on the battlefield, and all the cattle and sheep he brought were captured by the Tang army.

These twenty silver cakes were paid to him by the officer who trampled his slave to death, and now they are all handed over to make atonement.

Bawu found nothing and returned to his manor, at least he saved Gui's identity and his life, didn't he?

But when Bawu returned to his manor, he found that the originally wealthy manor had changed.

The younger brothers and sisters kept crying, and after asking, they found out that the old mother was dying.

Bawu hurriedly rushed into his mother's bedroom, and when she was dying, the mother who returned to the light said:

"The tax collector of the castle owner came to the manor after you set off on the expedition. I told him that you took away the cattle and sheep from the manor. The tax collector said that we hid the cattle, and the tax collector asked us to make up the tax on the feet of twenty cows."

Bawu said angrily: "Our Bawu family does not have twenty cows at most, and each cow has to pay a quarter of the cow's leg tax, and twenty cows have to pay five cows! Our family has never had so many cows." Sheep!"

Bawu's mother said: "The tax collector said it was the castle owner's intention. I sold the booty left by your father and emptied the last barley in the family's treasury. Only then did I pay the cattle leg tax."

Bawu's eyes were already red. The owner of the castle is a great warrior. He must be a vile tax collector who framed his family.

Bawu's mother continued: "At first I thought this matter was over, but a few days ago there was an order from the castle owner, demanding that every seven households enshrine a Buddhist temple, and our manor has exactly seven households. A Buddhist temple also needs to be built.”

Bawu was furious immediately: "Where are there seven families in our manor!"

Bawu's mother said: "We need to pay for the construction of the Buddhist temple, but there is no barley in the warehouse of the manor. The herald of the castle owner asked that it must be completed before the summer, otherwise the "gui" of our family will be eradicated." title."

Now Bawu became frightened, and Bawu's mother took her son's hand and said, "I'm going to meet your father in the sky. Your father has worked so hard to change from Wen Mo to Gui. You must not lose your family." Glory!"

Then Bawu's mother exhausted her last bit of strength and died.

Bawu had just buried his mother when he received news from his fiancée's younger brother.

The news that Bawu fled in front of the battle and forgives his crimes with silver cakes has spread among the warriors. The fiancée's family is unwilling to marry such a coward and returned the marriage.

Bawu was in a daze for several days, when a bald man came to his manor.

The bald man claimed to be a monk next to Da Lun, and he wanted to promote Buddhism on Bawu's manor.

Before the construction of the monastery was completed in summer, the bald man would live in Bawu's house and preach Buddhism to Bawu's family.

For the sudden appearance of the bald head, Bawu was quite disapproving.

The weddings and funerals of the Tubo people must be presided over by the priests of the Bon religion. These Buddhists must have been deluded.

Bawu also wants to build a temple for this bald head, and when Bawu thinks of it, he becomes angry.

The bald man didn't care about Bawu's attitude at all. After he arrived at Bawu's manor, he ran around all the places around the manor wearing straw sandals.

Then he talked to the tenant farmers one by one, communicating with them from house to house.

Bawu didn't know what the monk was going to do, but as long as the monk didn't pester him, Bawu didn't restrict him either.

Then the monk not only wandered around the Bawu family's manor, but also wandered around nearby manors.

However, several warrior families in the vicinity had received orders from above to treat these bald monks with courtesy, so this monk was unimpeded and gradually gained fame in the vicinity.

Bawu didn't know what this monk was doing. One day when he came back from his farm work, he saw this monk also opened the door and came in.

Ba Wu didn't want to talk to this monk at first, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to say this time:

"Honorable manor owner, the poor monk wants to talk to you."

Bawu was a little wary, he had seen these bald heads at the castle master's party.

They always talk about Buddhist scriptures that they don't understand, and talk about the beautiful afterlife and the Western Paradise.

Bawu is not interested in these, he was going to reject this monk.

But the monk insisted, "This time we won't talk about the Buddhist Kingdom of the Western Paradise, nor will we talk about the practice of precepts."

Bawu was a little strange, this monk didn't talk about these things, so what was he going to talk about?
I only saw the monk saying: "The owner of the manor, have you ever thought about why the suffering you have suffered is why you deserve it?"

"Is it natural for the castle owner to take away your cattle, sheep, and food?"

Bawu looked at the monk vigilantly and asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

The monk clasped his hands together and said, "Donor, have you heard of 'Liberation Buddhism'?"
