Chapter 72: This king is not reconciled!

day.

The gate temple is full of incense and people's voices are very lively.

at night.

The cold moonlight shines on the stone steps, reflecting the mottled red wall courtyard.

The big trees outside the gate of the temple also left a few black shadows, which felt damp and cold in the hot autumn.

"Boom boom boom!"

Mu Zhengyang opened the copper ring and knocked on the big wooden door, the sound was heard far away in the silent night.

After a full two or three minutes, with the sound of 'babbling', the gate of the monastery was opened.

A bald head protruded from the door, about twenty or so years old, wearing a loose gray monk robe, with a fat round face, his eyes almost closed, looked at Mu Zhengyang and said: " Donor, this hospital does not accept pilgrims at night, please come back tomorrow!"

Mu Zhengyang shook his head, and said with a slight smile, "I am a friend of Master Yuantong, so you can say that the old man from Wangri Cliff in Tiannan Mountain is here!"

"Wangri Cliff, Tiannan Mountain? Are you that layman Mu?" The monk's fat, round face with slits in his eyes opened slightly.

"En", Mu Zhengyang nodded.

"Haha, when the master came back from Tiannan Mountain that day, he immediately took down the 'running script number one' hanging on the wall of the room, closed the door, tore it into pieces, and then burned it to ashes!" The monk laughed and opened the door of the temple. Half of the big wooden door opened his eyes a little more and said, "I've been hearing Master talking about you these days, but I didn't expect you to come to the door at night. Come in! My name is Ming Le, and I guess Master is about to finish reading the scriptures. I'll take you to see him right now!"

The Gate Temple is the most famous temple in Xizhong County. After entering the gate, there is a yard paved with bluestone, and there is a tall incense burner in the middle of the yard.

Mu Zhengyang was walking in the yard, his nose could still smell the scent of incense left during the day, and further ahead was the Palace of Heavenly Kings.

Maitreya Buddha is enshrined in the hall, and a circle of candles is lit around it.

Passing through the Hall of Heavenly Kings is the Hall of Great Heroes, where a huge statue of the eighteen Arhats of Sakyamuni Buddha sits in the center, and incense is still lingering at night.

Behind the Daxiong Hall is the Zhaitang, where the monks of the Gate Temple eat on weekdays.

Behind the Zhaitang is the monk's house, and there is a meditation room in the middle of the monk's house.

Mu Zhengyang faintly heard the sound of chanting scriptures coming from inside, but the sound was very weak.

Gradually stopped.

Mu Zhengyang's health exercises entered the third floor, and he could clearly perceive the wind and grass within 500 meters. He heard someone standing up in the meditation room.

A tall monk wearing a yellow robe pushed open the door of the meditation room, looked at Mu Zhengyang standing below with a surprised expression, and said in surprise, "Master Mu? Why are you here at night?"

"I'm here to stay overnight!" Mu Zhengyang said plainly.

"Layman Mu is welcome to stay overnight. Ming Le, go and fix a house for Layman Mu!" Monk Yuantong admired Mu Zhengyang's calligraphy very much. Logically speaking, Mu Zhengyang should be warmly entertained, but his expression But he was very indifferent, so he stepped back into the meditation room, and before closing the door, he specially warned, "Layman Mu, it's already late, go to bed early, it's cold outside, it's easy to catch cold!"

After Monk Yuantong finished speaking, he went back to the meditation room and closed the door again.

Although there was a distance of six or seven meters between the two at night, Mu Zhengyang could clearly see Monk Yuantong's face clearly.

When he was in Tiannan Mountain before, Monk Yuantong was full of energy, but now his face is full of tiredness.

Mu Zhengyang didn't make a sound, and followed Ming Le to the southernmost house.

Ming Le opened the door and said, "Layman Mu, you can stay here!"

When Ming Le was about to leave, Mu Zhengyang suddenly asked Ming Le, "Have you been dreaming a lot lately?"

Ming Le's expression changed, his eyelids bounced up and down, and he shook his head in denial, "We monks are all empty, we have no desires and desires, so why do we often dream?"

Mu Zhengyang closed the door. When he was on the top of Tieshan Mountain, he observed that the Fengshui Bureau of Jinchan Wangyue in Damen Temple was disordered. People who live in this environment for a long time, their brain waves are disturbed by the disordered electromagnetic field, they will Frequently having all kinds of dreams, and when he said that sentence, Ming Le's expression was very unnatural. What he said later may be covering up some facts!

"What's going on in this world?"

Mu Zhengyang couldn't figure it out for a while, so he read "Mencius" in his room for a few hours, and continued to deduce "Qian Kun Hao Ran Yang Qi Jue".

"Said: If you dare to ask the Master about your indifference, and tell you about your indifference, can you hear about it? Tell the Master: "Don't ask for words, don't ask for your heart, don't ask for your heart, don't ask for your breath."'Don't ask for your heart , don’t look for Qi’, yes; ‘Don’t ask for words, don’t ask for heart’, no. Husband’s will is the handsomeness of qi; Zhi, without violence..."

The sound of reading is echoed with the sound of chanting in the meditation room.

midnight.

Mu Zhengyang lay on the bed and soon fell asleep.

"This king is not reconciled! This king is not reconciled!..."

A majestic voice sounded next to Mu Zhengyang's ear, the majesty seemed to be filled with boundless resentment, like an active volcano trying to erupt in his chest.

The night was pitch black.

Mu Zhengyang followed the sound and saw a vague shadow.

The shadow is tall and mighty, but has no head, holding a steel knife, roaring in his mouth, "This king is not reconciled!" '.

Mu Zhengyang was shocked, this is...

That shadow seemed to have discovered Mu Zhengyang, and frantically waved the steel knife in his hand and rushed towards Mu Zhengyang.

Mu Zhengyang woke up suddenly, he was still lying in the house of Damen Temple.

But the dream just now reappeared in his mind like a movie scene.

"Calling himself the king, holding a steel knife, and having no head... Could it be him?" Mu Zhengyang quickly remembered a historical figure.

Chuang Wang Li Zicheng!
Li Zicheng was one of the leaders of the rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty. He revolted in the second year of Chongzhen, and later he was the general of Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang.

Brave, resourceful and strategic, at the Xingyang General Assembly, he proposed a plan of dividing troops and attacking from four directions, which was approved by the leaders of all ministries.

Gao Yingxiang was ambushed, defeated and captured to death.

Li Zicheng continued to be called Chuang Wang, and put forward slogans such as "equal land without tax", which was welcomed by the people. The army grew to one million and became the main force of the uprising army.

In the 16th year of Chongzhen, he became King Xinshun in Xiangyang, and wiped out the main force of Sun Chuanting, governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty in Ruzhou, Henan, and took advantage of the victory to occupy Xi'an.

In the first month of the following year, the Dashun regime was established, with the reign name Yongchang, and soon conquered BJ to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

April.

Dorgon led the Eight Banners Army to join forces with Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, and fought against Li Zicheng inside and outside Shanhaiguan.

Li Zicheng was defeated, quit BJ, and led his troops to fight in Henan and Shaanxi.

Shunzhi two years.

Dashun's army was defeated one after another, cut off their retreat, and fled to the foot of Tieshan Mountain in Xizhong County.

Li Zicheng led more than [-] Qingqi people to climb the mountain to explore the road, but was killed by the local militia armed Jiang Dayan, and his body was buried secretly.

Next to the Panshan Highway at the entrance of Tieshan, there is still a Li Zicheng curtain.

But in the field of historians, Li Zicheng's death has always been a mystery. Some say that Li Zicheng died in other places, and some even say that Li Zicheng became a monk as a monk.

"Could it be that the person in the dream is Li Zicheng, the Chuang Wang?"

Mu Zhengyang seldom dreamed since he was a child, but he had such a strange dream just after falling asleep in Damen Temple, and it was very real, and he was full of doubts.
