Blood-quenched mountains and rivers

For the information sent by Yang Wei, Tang Shengzhi was always looking forward to it. When he sent troops to the Tongguan area, Tang Shengzhi began to send people to look for the whereabouts of the master worshiping the father-in-law. However, Tang Shengzhi was very disappointed. Still haven't found any news about Master Baizhang.

Seeing that the troops were approaching Tongguan, Tang Shengzhi had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being, and set up camp fifty miles away from Tongguan.

This attack on the Northwest Army, the morale of Tang Shengzhi's soldiers was high. After all, Tang Shengzhi was not alone in the defeat of Yang Wei before. reputation.

Standing in the tent, Tang Shengzhi observed the map and discussed with his staff officers how to deal with the enemy.

Just when Tang Shengzhi was having a heated discussion with the staff, there was a sudden commotion outside the tent. Tang Shengzhi impatiently put down the pen in his hand, and shouted angrily, "What's going on outside?" Blood Quenching Mountains and Rivers 240

The adjutant guarding the door immediately entered the tent, stood at attention and saluted, and then reported: "Report to the commander, a bald monk came to the camp and said he was coming to beg for food, and he was about to be driven out!"

The adjutant immediately winked at the new soldier. It is well known in the army that Tang Shengzhi likes gods and Buddhas the most, but this new soldier doesn't understand the rules and speaks nonsense in front of Tang Shengzhi, which immediately makes Tang Shengzhi furious Without saying a word, he slapped the soldier's face fiercely, threw him aside and rushed out of the tent in a hurry.

When Tang Shengzhi arrived, three or four soldiers were pushing the bald monk out, and said impatiently: "Where is the time to give you alms when you are marching and fighting, you should go back where you came from."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Shengzhi rushed to them panting, and said with raised eyebrows, "Don't be rude to the master, and I will punish you to fast for one day today!"

The aggrieved soldier quietly left helplessly, while Tang Shengzhi came to the monk respectfully, and said politely: "Master, please stay a little longer. I am the commander of this army. Now go and order someone to prepare a vegetarian meal for the master."

Standing opposite Tang Shengzhi was a monk with dirty hair and dirty hair. After hearing Tang Shengzhi's words, the monk rolled his eyes, swallowed his saliva and shook his head: "You don't need to be polite, the poor monk is a monk. There is no need to spend so much money, just ask the officer to give me a mouthful of dry food."

Tang Shengzhi quickly ordered his soldiers to pack a small bag of dry food, handed it to the monk, and personally sent the monk to the gate of the camp. Just as the monk was about to leave, Tang Shengzhi suddenly stopped him on a whim. Respectfully clasped his hands together and said: "Although I am a soldier, I devote myself to the Buddha. One of the things I came to Tongguan was to visit the famous Master Baizhang, but Master Baizhang's whereabouts were erratic, and there was also a long monk to give advice. One or two, I made a wish with good faith.”

Looking at Tang Shengzhi's pious appearance, the monk raised his eyebrows, stood up and said, "You mean you want to find a monk who worships your father-in-law?"

Looking at the expression on the monk's face, Tang Shengzhi thought to himself that he seemed to be asking the right person, and immediately nodded his head in pleasant surprise, only to see the monk calmly smiled and said, "Worship is exactly the name of the poor monk."

Tang Shengzhi was overjoyed by this answer, because there is nowhere to find it, and it takes no effort to get it!Tang Shengzhi hurriedly invited Master Baizhang into the tent. Despite all kinds of obstacles from the worshiper, Tang Shengzhi ordered someone to prepare a table of vegetarian food. Although it seemed very simple, such a table of vegetarian food was quite enough under the circumstances in the military camp. extravagant.

After eating the vegetarian dishes, Master Baizhang got up to leave. Tang Shengzhi hurriedly stopped in front of him. He prepared such a table of delicious dishes not just to show his sincerity to the Buddha. Tang Shengzhi rubbed his palms embarrassedly, and When he was hesitating how to speak, Master Baizhang frowned solemnly and said, "Almsgiver, the poor monk sees your evil spirit, I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster."

As soon as Grandmaster Baizhang finished speaking, Tang Shengzhi's eyelids kept jumping up, and after a few clicks of tut, he held Grandmaster Baizhang's hand and cried out as if asking for help, "What do you mean by this master?"

Master Baizhang waved his hand, looked around with fixed eyebrows, closed his eyes and meditated for a long time before opening his eyes, pointed to the northwest direction with hale and hearty eyes and said: "Twenty steps forward, the Buddha has already revealed in the dark Mystery!"

Tang Shengzhi quickly found the location that Master Baizhang had mentioned, and sent people to dig the ground. When he dug less than half a meter, he saw that the underground soil was as red as blood.

"This..." Tang Shengzhi looked anxiously at Master Baizhang, at a loss, and said, "Master, what's going on?"

At this time, Master Baizhang's face was even uglier than Tang Shengzhi's, and he stamped his feet anxiously and said, "Oops, wars have started here, dare I ask if the benefactor's surname is one of Zhao, Fang, and Lu Tang? "

Tang Shengzhi nodded hastily, as if he had already regarded Master Baizhang as a living god, and after waiting for Tang Shengzhi's answer, the living god said with a livid face: "Benefactor, if there is a battle here, the benefactor may return in defeat. At that time, when the life and death are sprinkled with charcoal and blood, I am afraid that the benefactor will never return."

At this time, Tang Shengzhi had no time to shout for the Buddha to appear. Tang Shengzhi, whose heart was beating like a drum, looked at the master who was like a life-saving straw, and said, "Master, is there a solution?"

Master Baizhang mysteriously walked around Tang Shengzhi for a few times, his complexion improved a little, and he said loudly: "You can't pursue the bandits, and you can't refuse the king. If you are the leader of the Qilin, the family will live alone." 240

The anxious Tang Shengzhi had already lost the mind to guess the riddle, and said anxiously: "What does the master mean by this? Please explain it in detail."

Master Baizhang clasped his hands together and said: "It is impossible, the secrets of heaven must not be leaked. The poor monk can only point out here for the benefactor. As for the mystery, the benefactor needs to understand it himself. However, the face of the benefactor has its own auspiciousness, which is unique. The auspicious position to be in charge of the country and mountains is in the southeast."

Tang Shengzhi recited the poem by Master Baizhang repeatedly in a low voice, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly sighed: "In the meaning of Master Baizhang, I'm here..." At this point, Tang Shengzhi paused, and waved the soldiers around him. Go and spread out, and said in a low voice: "Master, what do you mean, that I can jump up to the throne of the Son of Heaven?"

Although Master Baizhang didn't explain, there was a meaningful smile on his face, and he said paradoxically: "This matter still needs the help of chance and coincidence, so it's better for the poor monk to test the word for the benefactor, so as to see the good or bad."

Tang Shengzhi nodded hurriedly, pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then gently drew the word "Jiang" on Master Baizhang's open palm.

"Okay!" Master Baizhang looked at Tang Shengzhi and praised without hesitation: "The benefactor really has great ambitions. If you use grass to overwhelm the general, you will surely make great achievements!"

Tang Shengzhi, a "superstitious" believer in gods and Buddhas, firmly believed in the words of Master Baizhang. Master Baizhang nodded in relief, and after rejecting Tang Shengzhi's request to drive him off, he waved away with ease.

And when Tang Shengzhi was studying the mystery of Godsend behind closed doors, in a small town inn not far away, Master Baizhang sat opposite a young man, and told the whole process of his encounter with Tang Shengzhi in detail, the man couldn't help but be satisfied Nodding his head, he finally pushed the gold bar in front of Master Baizhang and said, "It's a lot of trouble this time, I hope Master will accept it with a little care."

Without further ado, Master Baizhang weighed the gold bar before stuffing it into his bosom with confidence, and said loudly triumphantly: "Trouble can't be called, it's just that I didn't expect such an idiot to be the commander of the army."
