Chapter Six
The 2rd Xiaoyangchun Riding a Tiger and Knowing Heroes Touring the Six Arts and Leading the Crowds in the Villages and Cities ([-])
When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to laugh at him, they just said: "Da Lang, if you have the ability, go and see." Even if the man took off his arms, showing his white flesh, he lifted a stick and danced forward.When he got close to the tiger, he saw the man who had killed him lying on his back, and he was furious.He hurriedly shook it with a stick to attract the tiger.After shaking for a long time, seeing the tiger was not moving, he rushed up and raised his stick to hit the tiger's back as hard as he could, and beat him down. With a "boom", Yang Yao jumped up in shock.The man was surprised when he saw the dead man jumping up.He hurried back a few steps and shouted: "You man is dead or alive?" Yang Yao rubbed his eyes to see clearly, and said with a smile: "Humans are alive, but tigers are dead." The man asked in surprise: "How dare you sleep next to a dead tiger?" Yang Yao said with a smile, "When I came with it last night, I only thought that it would live and die. But today it will die and live, it is a strange thing."

The man was surprised and suspicious when he heard it, suddenly changed his face, and asked again: "You are such a nonsense man, how dare you lie in front of me! Did a tiger come with you?" Yang Yao said with a smile: "I, Yang Yao, have never It's one or two, and you can't lie." Hearing this, the man was surprised and asked: "What Yang Yao are you talking about, isn't it Xiao Yangchun who was bestowed by the God of Liuyang Village with courage and met people out of righteousness?" Yang Yao said "I'm the only one in the world, where is the second one?" The man was overjoyed when he heard that it was Yang Yao. He threw away the stick in his hand, bowed his head, and said, "Brother's name is known far and near. It's only a short distance away. For more than three hundred miles, I have no chance to meet him again. It would be a pleasure to meet you today." Yang Yao suddenly saw him prostrating, and hurriedly returned the salute: "I, Yang Yao, have such virtues that I dare to be so heroic!"

After the two of them worshiped, Yang Yaofang told the story in detail yesterday when he was drinking in Yueyang Tower with others, and when he was drunk, he met a tiger. May I ask Gao's name, but he has been loved so wrongly." At this time, all the villagers saw the tiger dead and alive, and talked together, and they all came.Hearing that this man was crushed to death on horseback, everyone stuck out their tongues in amazement.The man said: "I am under the jurisdiction of Chiting County, Changsha. The place where it borders Yueyang is Heyu Village. My younger brother is called Huamao. Because of his physical strength, he loves to learn guns and sticks. Please teach me. One day, the village was shaken by thunder. The archway was about to fall, so I held it up with one hand, and people called me the "Little Heavenly King". Because I met two brothers in the village, one was Nezha Bojian with eight arms, and the other was Lu Tong with a steel face. They lived and died together. Each dominates a village, oppresses the strong, everyone is afraid. It has always been rumored that my brother was brought here on the back of a tiger today, and it is really a reunion sent by heaven. Please go home and invite my two brothers to visit."

Yang Yao was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "It turns out that the three of you are my acquaintances, and I am envious of Yang Yao. Who would have thought that coming here today is really a fortuitous encounter." After finishing speaking, they went home together.Even if Hua Mao went to report to the two of them, he ordered to prepare wine.Bo Jian and Lu Tong suddenly heard that there was a tiger coming from Heyu Village, so they made an appointment and rushed over with their weapons.Just bumping into people from Huajiazhuang who came to invite them, and they said they knew it.The two were overwhelmed with surprise, hurried to the door, and shouted: "Where is Brother Daochang?" Hua Mao and Yang Yao met together.Seeing Yang Yao's appearance, the two were overjoyed and said: "Being famous is not as good as seeing it, and seeing it is worse than being famous." They quickly bowed down and called Yang Yao his elder brother.Yang Yao hastily replied and helped her to sit down.

Yang Yao took a closer look at the two of them: Bo Jian had a blue face, and Lu Tong had a purple face and stubble cheeks. They were both seven feet tall, with a tiger's neck and a waist.Hua Mao asked carefully about riding a tiger.Lu Tong got up and went out. After a while, he took the dead tiger to the steps, drew his knife from his waist, and peeled off the tiger's skin.Food and wine have been delivered inside.Hua Mao urged Lu Tong to come to the table, Lu Tong took the tiger skin and held it up with a smile, saying: "Brother is sitting here today, but this tiger skin is indispensable." Then he came and sat around on the chair.

Yang Yao was inconvenient to sit down for a while.Bo Jian said: "My brother also rode a live tiger, but he refused to sit on the dead tiger's skin. What's the reason?" You have to gossip and make fun of people." Hua Mao said: "Nowadays, how many grandpas are sitting on tiger skins, my brother is such a good man, can't he sit upside down!" Lu Tongdao: "Brother, why are you afraid of suspicion? I am here with Tianxiongshan A strong man, all of them are sitting in the tiger skin chair. Could it be that my brother is such a hero, but he is not as good as him!" Seeing how the three of them persuaded him to sit down, Yang Yao had no choice but to sit down.The four of them shared a common sense of loyalty and drank happily.

In the middle of drinking, Yang Yaoyin asked: "Brother Lu just said that Tianxiong Mountain is occupied by those heroes? I don't know." Hua Mao said: "This day Tianxiong Mountain is more than 500 miles south of us. Although the mountain is not big , but it is very dangerous. Suddenly, two criminals fled into the mountains, recruited refugees, and erected a fence. They didn't dare to do it before, but now they recruited [-] people. They robbed merchants every day and harassed villages at night. The government has banned him several times. One is called Zhentianxiong Youliuyi, who wields a big sword; Annoyed. The three of us often plotted to compete with him, but we didn't see them coming. I thought they knew our names, so they didn't dare to come. Only the people in Rizhuang saw a few walking around in the village the day before, and suspected they were bandits from Tianxiong Mountain. The three of us came to find out the news, because the three of us asked the villagers to prepare. It is rare for my brother to come today, if he comes, I will tie him up and ask for a reward."

Yang Yaodao: "Recently, the Song Dynasty has been in great trouble. There are no good people in the court. Thieves are everywhere. There are often heroes and righteous people who have to flee to the mountains to avoid mermaid meat. I think these two people escaped for this reason. You want to take him Please reward, now the government can't ask for anything good. If you hurt a hero, you will be ridiculed. It's better to persuade them at Yuqiao, telling him not to act like a thief, but to do some righteous deeds. "

The three of them nodded after hearing this, and asked again: "Brother's name is known far and near, but how many brothers does my brother have with each other? You can tell the three of me that you know, and if you meet in the future, you can tell." Yang Yao Said: "What good name do I have outside, which can move people more? Even if someone pays you, it's not easy to say the word. I, Yang Yao, have knowledge in my chest and can distinguish people with my eyes. I don't make friends or make friends. Make friends, don’t make friends for a while, don’t make friends suddenly. Therefore, it’s rare to meet Hanyang, Hengyang, and today’s three people, and I’m not Yang Yao.”

The three of them were very happy when they heard this, and said: "I just don't know how it works, what benefits the situation has, so my brother got acquainted with him?" I walked in unintentionally, and saw a group of people, neither monk nor Taoist, all in Confucian crowns and Confucian uniforms, with belts and shoes, playing various musical instruments in their hands, all rare in the world, and the chanting in their mouths was also rare. Walking on the street After a while, I went to his house. Because I saw it strangely, I walked in with him, but I saw that there was an old man with white beard holding a bow in front of him, which was not Sanqing or Buddha. Wang Ding, Bean Food and Vegetable Soup, and a coffin and ancestral gods parked next to them. I saw these people kneeling before the white-bearded old man, each holding a classic in their hands and reciting.

After seeing these scenes, I knew that this family had dead parents, and their hands were weak, and they couldn't afford monks and Taoists. These few illiterate people came to learn monks and Taoism.Unexpectedly, what they recited was not a classic, but a Four Books.When I heard that, I couldn't help laughing.Seeing them read to the ancestral temple, they went to their ancestors to recommend them; when they read rites and music, they played musical instruments.Sometimes those who play the zither, those who play the harp, those who hit the pan, and those who dance eight times; sometimes the dutiful son offers wine, and sometimes mourns.In the end, the most beautiful and best-sounding ones were praising the Xiangdang party, sighing at Yanhui, and learning many dignified manners from Confucius.

When I saw these pedants, I couldn't help laughing, and when they were resting, I went up to him and asked him: "When people die, they are afraid of all the evils they will do in life. Please ask monks and Taoists to recite scriptures to eliminate crimes." Survival, not suffering from hell.Today, everyone is reciting the Four Books. Could it be possible to eradicate sins and transcend life without suffering from hell? ’ When those people saw me asking him, they all respectfully invited me to sit down, and said: ‘If you don’t read poetry and books, you don’t know anything about it.Let me tell you today that Confucianism came before Buddhism, and Buddhism came after Confucianism; Confucianism talks about benevolence and righteousness, and Buddha talks about compassion; benevolence and righteousness are compassion, and compassion is benevolence and righteousness.People today cannot talk about benevolence and righteousness, so Buddhism talks about kindness and compassion.Confucianism has four books, and Buddhism has classics.If you study Confucianism, you can become a Buddha and become a Confucian gentleman, but if you study Buddhism, you cannot become a Confucianist for a gentleman.Confucianism is unbiased and non-partisan; Buddhism has party and partiality, has no loyalty to the emperor, rejects the grace of God, abandons love, respects younger brothers, lacks friendship, worships others as father and brother, and seeks others to be father and son.

What is even more indescribable is that this type of people expects to enjoy wealth and glory in the next life, and even fantasizes about becoming a Buddha.I don't know that the Buddha is in my heart, and the Buddha is a Confucian, but what do these people who lack five ethics do?It is these classics, originally written by predecessors, just like the Four Books, which teach people to learn to be good people.If you become a bad person, you will follow the king's law and suffer in hell now.If you are familiar with these four books, you will be able to be loyal, filial, friends, younger brothers, and educated.If you go out, you will be a public minister, enjoy the glory and wealth, leave a good name, and practice benevolent government; after death, you will become a god and Taoist, just like becoming a Buddha.If you are not rich, you will not be glorious. If you understand these four books, and you are a sage, you can avoid humiliation and less disasters.It is a great classic, exhorting the world.Therefore, when we are happy people, when we are in danger, we will read the four books to him; after death, we will read them all while wearing mourning clothes, so that his soul will not be ignorant, and bless him in the next life. Becoming a god or a Buddha, being small but being a minister.Therefore, everyone studies, the family is blessed, and the children and grandchildren raised are either officials in the court or talented scholars today. 'I heard it clearly, and I thanked him immediately, so I had to meet him.How can this be an ambitious genius, eloquent, and everyone calls him a wide-sighted man.Seeing that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was a faint minister and a sycophant, he hid himself at home, made friends with me eight times, and talked about current affairs, which was very close.I made an appointment to see me, but I haven't seen it yet.This Hanyang is usually a righteous man with a heart, and he is far and near.He also told me that there is a Tai Yuan in his city, but he has never met him. "The three of them were very happy after hearing this. They drank for a long time before they stopped drinking.

Hua Mao then led Yang Yao to the back to sit in the garden pavilion, even if he tidied up the three small rooms on the side and installed bedding.Bo Jian, Lu Tong and Yang Yao came up to the pavilion, and saw the word "Xiwu Pavilion" hanging above it, and many bows, arrows, spears and sticks were placed inside.Yin said to Yang Yao: "If the three of us are free, let's play some tricks." Yang Yao nodded.

In the evening, Bo Jian and Lu Tong left each other and went home.Yang Yao slept until five o'clock before waking up.Yin thought to himself: "I only said that I can go home after traveling in the city, and I never told my parents. Who knew that when I met a tiger, I was lucky not to be hurt by it, but it was carried by it and got to know them. Only these two nights If I don’t return, but I’m tired of my parents, I don’t know how to remember and worry at home. If you don’t know that the tiger is okay, if those people go back, it’s said that I walked back alone in the dark, and I don’t see my home today. Wouldn’t it be suspected that I was killed by the tiger? What should I do if I am so anxious? I am waiting for the dawn, and I will go to the two houses with Huamao, even if I rush back." Seeing a bright shadow on the window, even if I sat up, I waited for a while before someone came. to undertake.

After a while, Hua Mao walked out, and Yang Yao said that he knew the reason, and walked out together.Because Bojian was close to the road, he came to his house.When they arrived at the gate, Bo Jian and Lu Tong happened to be walking out. They were overjoyed to see them, and said, "I've just made an appointment to invite my brother."It was inconvenient for Yang Yao to refuse, so he had to eat with the three of them until the evening.Lu Tong then asked for an invitation tomorrow, and Yang Yao had no choice but to agree.The next day, he came back after drinking for a whole day.Because he thought: "I have done my best for the three of them, and I am determined to go back tomorrow morning, and it will never be too late."

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of cannons in the distance, and suddenly shouted again.When Yang Yao heard this, she was very suspicious. She hurriedly put on her clothes and got out of bed, walked out of the garden, and saw the lights and candles in the sky.Because he said, "I think there is a fire there, and someone will help him?" Just as he was about to sleep, someone broke into the door and shouted, "Mr. Yang, get up quickly!" :
The uncle takes his sister-in-law away, and the brother flees with his brother,
I don't know what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter.
