Chinese dining table

Chapter 690

The stampede happened after all.

Not during the ritual, but after the ritual is over.

Six gunpowder shells exploded in the crowd.

Then, the crowd around the White Horse Temple started to become chaotic like a herd of wild buffaloes.

The people full of fear tried their best to escape from this terrible place. They just wanted to escape, and they had no time to care about what they were stepping on.

The commotion lasted for an hour before it stopped...

Yun Chu didn't go to see the scene, but he could imagine what kind of tragedy the scene would be.

Ruan Wen went to see it with Di Renjie, and after they came back, neither of them was interested in talking.

Later, according to Di Renjie, the real tragedies happened in places with narrow roads, and the real victims were the old, the weak, women and children, and among them, the elderly believers died the most.

At the same time, Yunchu and his group were not the only officials who were attacked. Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong, Zhang Xingcheng, Pei Chenggao, Zhang Ji, and Han Tong were also assassinated at the same time.

Li Yifu was hit by an arrow, Zhang Xingcheng was slashed, Taifu Qing Han Tong was chopped into meat by an assassin, Yushitai Zhang Ji was stabbed to death in a carriage by an assassin with a spear, Pei Chenggao from Zhongshushe saw the situation was not good The servant escaped by changing his clothes and pretending to be dead. However, his servant's head was cut off by the assassin.

Only Xu Jingzong here is the same as Yunchu, the assassins he killed fled in embarrassment, and even captured two assassins.

Yun Chu was able to kill the assassin, and he caught the assassin because his martial arts were too strong.

Xu Jingzong was able to kill the assassin, and he caught the assassin because his family's generals were really dragons among men.

Yunchu immediately went to see Naha at the White Horse Temple.

Naha was very calm, lying in her brother's arms without saying a word, but her big eyes were full of sadness.

After a long time, he looked up at Yun Chu and said, "Why do your own people kill your own people?
They didn't oppose them, didn't rob them, and didn't hinder them from doing things, so why kill them? "

Yunchu couldn't answer Naha's question.

There is a clear reason for killing people in the Western Regions, even robbery is a reason, but there is no reason for killing people in the Central Plains, just like a wolf biting its prey and refusing to eat it, it is unforgivable in Naha's opinion.

Yun Chu took a look at the crown on the shelf. This crown is very beautiful. It is a lotus crown inlaid with the eight treasures of Buddhism. The top of each lotus flower is inlaid with a ruby. Even if it is placed on the shelf, it is still shining. Brighten.

"They don't like me being the Queen of the Buddha Kingdom, tell me that I can be wrong, they shouldn't kill so many of their own people."

When Yun Chu came, Naha's tense emotions were released in an instant. From the beginning of crying, it gradually turned into howling.

Crying is an emotion that is contagious. When Naha cried, Dolma and Aisha also began to cry. They cried very sadly, but Naha was blaming herself. She always felt that the death of those people was a Her fault, while the other two were crying, it was solely because Naha was crying.

"It's not your fault, it's someone else's fault, since they like to kill innocent people indiscriminately, then death will definitely come to them.

That's the whole point of my practice of martial arts.

When the laws are not strong and people’s hearts are not fair, only being strong is the real strength. Naha, take care of yourself and continue to be the queen of your good Buddha Kingdom. Only when you are a good queen can you give more protection to the weak.

As for the rest, just leave it to me. "

Naha wiped her tears and nodded. What her brother said is always right. Since those people don't like her being a queen and like to bully the weak, then she can protect more people she wants to protect if she is a good queen.

When Yunchu was about to leave the White Horse Temple, he saw Master Xuanzang under a locust tree.

This time Master Xuanzang did not avoid him like before, but said calmly: "Do you regret coming to Tang Dynasty?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I like this world, the real people here, and the sweet air here."

"So, your world is actually not as good as I thought?"

Yunchu looked at Master Xuanzang and said: "Except for the iron bird, iron dragon, thousands of miles, thousands of miles of sound transmission you saw, and the twilight of the East China Sea, they are not bad compared with the Tang Dynasty. There should be troubles. Nothing less."

"Are there any monks in your world?"

"Yes, except for a small number of monks who are really seeking the Dharma, the purpose of most monks is to make money. Except for a small number of believers who are really practicing, most of the so-called believers worship Buddha just for peace of mind."

Xuanzang said proudly, "That's a sign of the end of the Dharma."

Looking at Xuanzang at the beginning, Yunchu really didn't know where the old monk's pride came from. His world has become the end of the Dharma. Isn't it related to Xuanzang and others not working hard?

Xuanzang's spiritual sense is so keen, Yunchu's eyes revealed a trace of disdain, and he immediately asked: "Is the Tang Dynasty related to your world?"

Of course Yunchu would not tell him the connection between the two, but said vaguely: "Didn't you say that Buddhism is everywhere? My world has come to the end of the Dharma era. For you, it's not like a leaf falls and you know the autumn." ?"

Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, and immediately, his usual indifference appeared on his face, and he said to Yunchu: "The birth of the Buddha is a kind of fate, and the death of the Buddha is also a kind of fate. If there is a fate, the Buddha will come, and if there is no fate, the Buddha will come." die.

Sometimes the Buddha sleeps for 500 years. Perhaps, the Buddha in your world just fell into a deep sleep. When the fate comes, the Buddha will wake up.

To put it bluntly, that’s it. "

"Like those people who were trampled to death outside the White Horse Temple?"

Xuanzang smiled and said, "Isn't the relief of suffering in your eyes a kind of relief?"

Yun Chu took a long breath and said, "Very well, I'll go out right now, so that more people can be relieved."

Xuanzang looked at Yun Chu with pity and said, "Before you came, I believed that every drink and peck was a fixed number. After you came, chaos reappeared, making me unable to see the future clearly."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "The reason why Master can't see the future clearly is because I am the future."

Xuanzang clasped his hands together and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, since you claim to be the future, then do it, so that I can see more about what the future looks like."

Yun Chu looked at this old monk who looked completely different from before, and said suspiciously: "You won't spread what I told you everywhere, will you?"

A deep smile appeared on Xuanzang's face and said: "If you don't tell, you just don't tell. Buddhists don't tell lies."

"You answered too quickly, without even thinking about it, it was more like a lie.

Judging from what you said earlier, there is actually not much difference between lying and not lying, and it doesn't matter to the master.

After all, people who died all over the place outside the White Horse Temple, you said that this is not necessarily a bad thing. "

Xuanzang laughed loudly and said, "Everyone in the world believes that life is immortal, but only in endless reincarnation. If so, what is the difference between life and death?

Just like the old monk now, he is waiting for the call of the Buddha all the time. "

Xuanzang is not afraid of death, he even looks forward to dying sooner, Yunchu knows this, it is a joke to talk about the great horror between life and death with someone like him.

"Master, why is Luoyang so chaotic?"

Xuanzang said with a smile: "At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, chaos is inevitable. You have been working hard to govern Chang'an these years, aren't you setting up rules?
When the rules have not been established and the king's hegemony among the monkeys has not been completely determined, it makes sense to be a little messy. "

Yun Chu thought for a while and said: "The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have always listened to the emperor. As far as I know, the screen in the emperor's bedroom is filled with the names of Captain Zhechong, and the emperor has always treated them well. mess?"

Xuanzang said: "The emperor raised wolves. In the past, they gave enough flesh and blood. The wolves could eat enough. Each wolf could eat enough food, so the wolves in the wolf pack would withdraw their minions. Crouching quietly at the emperor's feet, these years, there has been no war in the world, the wolves lack blood and food, but the lives of ordinary people are constantly improving.

The most abominable thing is that the wolves in Chang'an are fed all day long, and the wolves in Luoyang are naturally dissatisfied. In addition, outsiders continue to throw food into the wolves in Luoyang. It is inevitable that the emperor will be backlashed by the wolves. "

Yun Chu asked in confusion: "You said this time the incident was aimed at the emperor, not us?"

Xuanzang looked at Yunchu and said with a smile: "The direction of the general trend is what people pursue. Your little Chang'an is just a mange disease. If you can get rid of it along the way, you can get rid of it. If you can't get rid of it, it's just that."

Yun Chu was shocked when he heard the words: "You mean that the target is not in Chang'an, but in Luoyang?"

Xuanzang said with a smile: "Money is in the hands of others, and it is invincible. When the time is right, they will take it out. If the time is not right, they will hide the money. What can you do to others?

Only by letting everyone's eyes fall on Chang'an will it be convenient for them to act in Luoyang. "

"Are they going to rebel?"

Yunchu was really surprised. He thought he had arranged it well, but looking at the problem from a higher level, he would find that occupying Chang'an was not necessary for others.

Only I have always regarded Chang'an as my darling, so from the beginning, I put all my attention on Chang'an, and I didn't notice the things in Luoyang.

"The emperor, the empress, these years have been overbearing to govern the officials of the Tang Dynasty. Eleven prime ministers have been replaced in just ten years. They have accumulated too much resentment, but relying on their own strength, they don't know how to alleviate it. The methods are becoming more and more harsh. Cavaliers, secret spies kill without asking why.

Why should you be surprised that there is such a thing at present?

You see, the old monk is not surprised.

Before Naha was enthroned in Da Ci'en Temple, nothing would happen. Da Ci'en Temple gathered the strength of monks from all over the world to arrange this matter with all their strength. Unfortunately, because the emperor was impatient with the intense heat of Chang'an, he easily ordered to change the place of enthronement.

So, if something like this happens, it has nothing to do with my Buddhism. "

Looking at Master Xuanzang, who was solemn and solemn in the past, but now more and more secular, Yunchu asked in a low voice, "Has the Buddhist sect also participated?"

Master Xuanzang sighed and said, "There are eight sects and 26 sects in Buddhism, and not all monks and monks are as pure-hearted as the old monk, and have no desires or desires for the world."
