Jiangye: I am the immortal of this world

Chapter 256 The Water and Land Dharma Conference is flourishing, Jiang Shui Lang rushes to Bei Ming, and the old soldier is dissatisfied!
In the human world, the hometown of Western Chu is the Western Barrier! '

A magnificent new temple stood quietly in front of the concubine's grave.

In the past Spring and Autumn National War, the battle for the subjugation of Da Chu, and the Battle of Xilebi, the Xu family army, which had not yet become the Beiyu Army, defended the victory of the Battle of Jinghe precisely because they defended the Concubine's Tomb.

At the same time, the battle at Jinghe was also the beginning of the break between the imperial court and Xu Xiao.

Although it is said, "I will not give you any orders from the king outside!" 'But a general with a heavy army, disobeying the emperor's will, eventually planted a seed of doubt in the heart of the old Emperor Liyang.

After many years, this seed of doubt has already taken root and sprouted.

The water of the Jinghe River surges away, and the area near the West Barrier is still desolate today. The vaguely visible reddish-brown soil is still telling how cruel the battle on the West Barrier that determined the situation in the Spring and Autumn Period was. .

It's a pity that Xu Xiao's disrespectful resistance to the decree that day was already against the emperor, and he intended to let other generals in Liyang take the credit for the destruction of Western Chu.

His great achievements shocked the master, and what the emperor was afraid of was that someone in Xu Xiao's army would put a yellow robe on Xu Xiao.

Under the influence of Huangpao, once Xu Xiao, who has the power to destroy the Spring and Autumn Kingdoms, rebels, Liyang's hundreds of years of foundation will inevitably be destroyed.

There is no right or wrong, it's just the superior weighing the pros and cons.

In the temple built for the Spring and Autumn Bing Jia Ye Bai Kui, hundreds of monks had already sat cross-legged. The court worshiped Taoism and suppressed Buddhism, but with the appearance of the immortal who was banished from Wudang Mountain.

This statement of worshiping the Tao and suppressing the Buddha has also been conveyed.

After all, whether it's Longhu Mountain or Wudang Mountain, they can't even be compared. They are two Taoists!
It's nothing more than a matter of one going down and the other going up, and the other going down and going up. Today's Taoism in Liyang can be said to be thriving!
The sound of chanting resounded throughout the temple, and hundreds of monks from Tai'an City Dharma Realm Temple showed no trace of greed in their pious eyes.

It's not that monks don't have greed, but that among these hundreds of monks, at least two hundred are all members of Li Yang, Bei Ming or other forces.

For this water and land ceremony, the officials on Jiangnan Road also played new tricks. After all, this was the decree of the court, but the money collected was all their own money.

Furthermore, this place is the old place of Chu, and it is appropriate for the gentlemen to charge some money for praying for their relatives!
Those elderly people burst into tears looking at this temple!
An old man who was over [-] years old was carrying a brand new erhu that he had spent all his money to buy.

Walking staggeringly on the road paved with bluestone, the old man played the erhu, and the melodious music, which was magnificent and yet still sounded like an iron horse, echoed outside the Zhongyi Temple.

When the erhu was playing, the old man's cloudy eyes shone with a divine light that had not been revealed for a long time, and he sang loudly: "The young man has not yet reached his crown, and he left his hometown in great disarray; the morning sun shines in the morning dew, and the sunset mountains are vast and the river is twenty-five thousand, The boat crosses the river."

After just singing a few words, the old man's clothes were already filled with tears and he couldn't stop crying.

"Some people pretend to be asleep, some people pretend to be drunk, some people pretend to be stupid, and some people pretend to be dead!"

"But who can tell me how to pretend to be drunk?"

Pedestrians on the road looked at the old man as if they were crazy. Only the elderly people felt pain when they heard the sound of the erhu!
How come the great Chu in the world is as brilliant as the great Chu in the sky and his country is destroyed?
Suddenly, a middle-aged scholar came to the old man's side and said softly: "Jiang Zhangyuan, I haven't seen you for a long time."

The old man looked at the middle-aged man with doubts in his eyes. With dirty hands, he dragged the middle-aged scholar to the foot of a locust tree and said, "You are Cao Changqing!"

Cao Changqing nodded slightly, looked at the temple in the distance, and said, "Exactly, why did Jiang Zhangyuan end up like this?"

He could not have imagined that back then, Jiang Shuilang, who was in charge of the Chu Chongwen Academy, with hundreds of librarians from the three academies, and more than [-] editors of the Secret Pavilion, was also one of the most knowledgeable people in Chu.

How did he become the crazy old man he is today?
Jiang Shuilang leaned against the locust tree and said with a helpless smile: "In spring and autumn, there is heavy rain. Some people squat under the eaves to hide from the rain, while others hug their heads and cry."

"Only I, Da Chu, will never take shelter from the rain. I would have died a long time ago. I died at the moment when Da Chu's country was overthrown!"

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, during the national war, the great Chu deserves to be worthy of the great Chu people."

"Fighting the Xu family's army in Jinghe, 12 Euphorbia soldiers were destroyed."

"Xiangfan defended the city and burned their bones for cooking. There were 20 Xiangfan people, but in the end less than [-] were left."

"Xu Xiao already aroused the emperor's suspicion during the battle on the West Barrier, but he disobeyed the order and stormed the West Barrier!"

"However, destiny does not belong to Dachu!"

Jiang Shuilang said, his tears couldn't stop falling. Although he was alive, he was already dead.

The chanting of the Water and Land Dharma Assembly became louder and louder, and there were no more pedestrians on the road. Only Jiang Shuilang and Cao Changqing were still standing under the locust tree.

Cao Changqing said seriously: "Jiang Zhangyuan, I found the whereabouts of the princess."

"Nowadays, Emperor Liyang is very suspicious of Xu Xiao. If not for this, there would not be this water and land ceremony."

"Your Highness, the princess, is currently working as a maid in Beimu. I want to go to Beimu's palace to rescue the princess."

"Wait for the time and move!"

"I specially ask Master Jiang to do one last thing for Da Chu!"

Today, the situation in the world is unpredictable. Once Bei Ming makes any changes, the situation in the world will definitely change!

Jiang Shuilang's stooped figure became more and more upright, and he said: "I am willing to die for the great Chu!"

Cao Changqing said seriously: "I didn't want to carry out this conspiracy, but for the sake of Da Chu, Cao had no choice."

"If the world is not in chaos, even if the Chu Kingdom is restored, it will be difficult to compete with Bei Ming and Li Yang!"

"Cao Mou, please invite Jiang Zhangyuan to enter Beimu!"

Since Xu Xiao, the king of Bei Ming, already deserves the most credit, he asked Emperor Liyang to be more afraid of Bei Ming!

In the world's cultural context, Jiang Zhangyuan can get a point. Once he enters Bei Ming with great fanfare, it will matter whether he is alive or dead.

For Da Chu, it is a blessing!
For a moment, Jiang Shui seemed to have regained the grace of his youth, and said cheerfully: "The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, the mountains and rivers are broken, so many ups and downs are all just a joke!"

"It's all a matter of talking and laughing!"

Jiang Shuilang played the erhu and sang the song "The General Goes!" '

Walking towards his home, he wanted to bathe and burn incense, straighten his clothes, enter Bei Ming, enter the game with his own body, and plot the last game for Da Chu.

The history book is very small, but it cannot contain a little Jiang Shuilang;
The history book is very big, but it can contain the rise and fall of the Spring and Autumn Period!

Cao Changqing looked at the direction Jiang Shuilang left and murmured: "If this plan succeeds, the destiny belongs to Chu!"

A middle-aged scholar dressed in Tsing Yi walked towards the temple. Ye Baikui, a soldier of the Spring and Autumn Period, was also an old friend.

When you arrive at an old friend's temple, you should place three pillars of incense on it.
-
In the backyard of Zhongyi Temple!

A handsome monk in white looked at the sick Yang Taisui in front of him, smiled flatly, and said, "Emperor Liyang, are you afraid of this?"

"Liyang has worshiped Taoism and suppressed Buddhism for many years, but now he has changed because of the banished immortal on Wudang Mountain."

"It's just that you have already severed your relationship with Tongliang Zen Temple, at least on the surface, you have severed your relationship."

"If I hadn't entered Liyang for the sake of Buddhism, I wouldn't have come here!" Although the scenery in Liyang is beautiful, it is a bit too messy. It's not that the people are too messy, but that there are too many people. It's too messy. !

Yang Taisui said calmly: "You don't look like a monk. How can a monk marry a wife and have children?"

"Uncle Master is invited here this time for the sake of the Dharma, so that it can be passed down safely in Liyang!"

"Uncle Master, he doesn't think about himself, he also thinks about the two Zen temples. King Bei Ming only respects the Buddha because he needs to respect the Buddha."

"The Crown Prince of Beiming has become a disciple of Wudang Mountain. Taoist Longhu and Wudang have already made His Majesty very worried."

To His Majesty, no matter how high the temple is or how far away the rivers and lakes are, they are just chess pieces.

It's just the size of the chess pieces. Now that things are changing, it's time for Buddhism to be promoted.

At least, the North Star will never be destroyed and the Dharma will continue!

Li Dangxin said sadly: "I have no more Zen to study. Although the two Zen temples want to spread Buddhism, they don't want to get involved in the affair between the imperial court and Li Yang."

"The way of Fulongting is too entangled with cause and effect. Liangzen Temple is not that stupid."

"So, Yang Taisui, you have to give me a reasonable explanation!"

But no matter what, this water and land ceremony did promote Buddhism, and it also had some benefits for the two Zen temples.

But for him, the two Zens in the two Zen temples meant that he did not participate in this Zen or that Zen.

He has a wife and a daughter, so why should he be required to practice Zen?
If not for the master's entrustment, how could he come here to preside over this water and land ceremony?
Yang Taisui calmly explained: "Uncle Master, Your Majesty has an illegitimate son who can become a disciple in Liangchan Temple."

"In the future, your majesty's illegitimate son will definitely be divided among the people. With this relationship, there is no need for the two Zen temples to worry."

Previously, the imperial court needed to win over the Tantric Sects of the Western Regions, but now it no longer needs it and has roped in the two Zen temples.

Let Liangchan Temple deal with the Tantric Sect of the Western Regions. Zhao Kai entered Liangchan Temple and did not have to worry about being retaliated by Bei Ming in the future.

In this world, only when interests are intertwined is the safest thing!

Li Dangxin smiled slightly and said: "But I heard that Zhao Kai, the illegitimate son of Emperor Liyang, is your apprentice. Wouldn't it be a seniority difference to let him enter Liangchan Temple again?"

He naturally knew everything Yang Taisui did. As long as Bei Ming was there, Liangchan Temple would be safe and sound.

In terms of this transaction, Liangchan Temple did not lose money, but he still felt that Yang Taisui had bad intentions.

But some things can no longer be delayed. In this tit-for-tat confrontation, the two Zen temples must take sides.

If you don't take sides, both Liyang and the imperial court will regard Liangchan Temple as their enemy!

Yang Taisui smiled and said: "Uncle, everyone can discuss their own matters."

Li Dang said carefully: "Good, great good!"

"Go back to the temple and give me a name, as long as you don't care."

Yang Taisui frowned with joy and said with a smile: "Of course I don't care, I'm just troubling my uncle."

Bei Ming's admiration of Buddhism is simply a joke. Would people who admire Buddhism easily massacre the city?

Although he is a shameful person, he has to do this for the sake of the world! ——
In front of the Zhongyi Temple, the Water and Land Dharma Assembly has also reached its final stage of blessing.

The sound of the chanting of the super-dead ascending to heaven is endless!
The old soldier hidden among the pilgrims drew out his starling sword and shouted: "By the order of the Zhu Kingdom, the imperial court is ignorant and ignores the soldiers' sacrifices in battle, so I came here to break this land and water ceremony!"

"Soldiers, follow me to kill!"

Among the pilgrims, dozens of men holding starling swords suddenly rushed out, formed a military formation, and attacked the monks who were reciting scriptures.

The old Chu old men stood in front of the old soldiers, and they refused to give in even though they had their swords thrust into their stomachs.

Their relatives died in the war on this land, and now Your Majesty has the virtue to hold such a grand water and land ceremony for their relatives.

But these Beiming people still want to let their relatives sink into the eighteenth level of hell.

The dead men of Liyang Zhaogou were also extremely surprised when they saw this scene. This was supposed to be their job, but now they were robbed.

The dead man in the Xuanzi stall motioned for everyone to take their seats. They could only wave flags to cheer, but they could not step forward.

The veterans of Bei Ming came here spontaneously, which can be said to have tricked Bei Ming. As long as they did not take action, the court would investigate afterwards.

It must be Xu Xiao, the king of Beiming, who acted arbitrarily and instigated the old soldiers to come and cause trouble!

"Huh, Bei Mingjun, what a huge battle!"

Cao Changqing walked to the Zhongyi Temple and looked at the old soldier holding a starling sword. He waved his sleeve with a wave of his hand. In an instant, the old soldier with Bei starling who rushed in the front flew backwards several feet, and his life or death was unknown.

Cao Changqing stood in front of the many monks and sneered: "Are all the Bei Ming army these trashes?"

"Mukuda is so weak now."

Cao Changqing, who had turned from a Confucian to a hegemon, immediately broke the Starling Sword that he had taken from the old Bei Star soldier into two pieces.

Cao Changqing stood with his hands behind his hands and said with a smile: "I originally thought that Li Yang would stage a bitter trick, but I didn't expect that it was the veteran Bei Ming who came spontaneously."

"Wait, are you really here spontaneously?"

It was not difficult to tell whether he was an old soldier of Bei Ming. When he humiliated Bei Ming like this, the hatred in the eyes of those old soldiers was clearly revealed.

"Brothers, kill!"

A group of dozens of old soldiers went to kill Cao Changqing. Aren't they just martial artists?

It’s not like they have never killed with the general!
Cao Changqing said calmly: "I don't know whether to live or die!"

With their sleeves swaying, the dozens of old soldiers knelt down in the Zhongyi Temple.

At this time, Yang Taisui came from the backyard, looked at the Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Dare I ask, but in front of Cao Guanzi?"

Cao Changqing looked at the monk and said softly: "It is Cao, it's just these Bei Ming veterans who disrupted this water and land ceremony. There will be another one next month."

Yang Taisui looked at the dozens of valiant old soldiers who were forced to kneel on the ground. He smiled slightly and said: "It should be so. Disrupting the water and land ceremony ordered by His Majesty, Bei Ming's military discipline is really a bit messy."

Time is not with Bei Ming!
