Chapter 452: Encounter in the Mountains

Shi Huishen, the abbot of Fawang Temple, personally came out to greet him, and he was also one of the senior monks who had gone to Luoyang to participate in the Dharma Conference, and he was extremely impressed by Qiuming's Buddhism and eloquence. At the same time www.biquge.info he is also the backbone of the Qiu faction in Buddhism, thinking that Qiu Ming is not a person in Buddhism, but he understands so many Buddhist principles, if it is not the Buddha to ignite, he will not believe it.

Since he determined that Qiu Ming was the guardian of the Jialan Divine General, Master Hui Shen took more care of Qiu Ming's subordinate Huang Zhong, not only arranged the most secluded meditation room for him to recuperate, arranged a special person to collect herbs, but also told the monks of the whole temple to keep the secret strictly and not to leak the news.

Qiu Ming first went to visit Huang Zhong in the meditation room, and saw that although he was still unconscious, his complexion looked good, and his face was relatively ruddy, at least it didn't look like he was dying, and his heart finally let go. He first expressed his sincere gratitude to Master Huishen, and then asked about the situation of the Songshan thieves.

It turns out that Songshan is said to be the place where Xia Yu settles down, and the Tai Room and the Shao Room are the places where his two wives live, and the Tai Room is jealous, and the Shao Room is on the mountain to build a village to protect himself. I don't know whether this legend is true or not, but there is indeed a dilapidated and old village left on Shaomuro Mountain, and it is mostly a place for mountain medicine pickers to stay on weekdays.

The year before last, when the Yellow Turban was in turmoil, there was a county hero Lei Bo entangled with Chen Lan, a native of Lujiang, to protect himself, and later due to the corruption of military discipline, they themselves also fell into the grass to become bandits, and were wanted by the local government to draw pictures and graphics, so they fled to Shaomu Mountain and occupied this village.

When he first went to Songshan, Chen Lan Lei Bo was also careful not to commit any offense with the mountain people, for fear of attracting the attention of Luoyang, and sent a large army into the mountain to clear it. However, as time passed, they found that Luoyang, the capital division close at hand, seemed to be blind to their small force, so they gradually became bolder.

In the past few months, they have begun to bully men and women, arrest and recruit soldiers, and often go out to the mountains to rob single travelers and small groups of merchants, turning Shaomu Mountain into a miasma. They also often came to harass the area of Mount Taimuro, but they were repelled several times by the warrior monks in the temple, and now they don't dare to come easily.

Warrior monk? Qiu Ming clearly remembered that he carefully looked at the plaque in front of the temple before entering the mountain gate, it is indeed Fawang Temple, not Shaolin Temple, how can there be such a high-end goods as a warrior monk?

After asking, I learned that due to the scarcity of Buddhist scriptures in this era, there are various versions, and Buddhism does not have so many rules in later generations. This situation reached its peak during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it was not until Tang Xuanzang returned from worshiping the Buddha in the West Heaven and retranslating the scriptures to promote the Dharma, that he gradually developed into the kind of monk that later generations saw.

Since these monks themselves are like bandits, it is natural to cultivate their own martial arts, so it is natural to raise some warrior monks. If you really want to talk about it, most of these warrior monks who take refuge in Buddhist temples are desperate outlaws on the rivers and lakes, turning a pure place of Buddhism into a forbidden place like the Valley of the Wicked.

Although Master Huishen's words were ominous, Qiu Ming still roughly understood the meaning of his words. It seems that there are really a lot of scum in Buddhism in this era, and I, the god of Garan, will have a long way to go. But for now, other things can be put aside for a while, and it is the king to wipe out this group of Songshan bandits. Since the warrior monks of Howangji Temple are so strong, can you ask them to be guides to take them into the mountains to suppress bandits?

Master Huishen agreed to Qiuming's request without hesitation, and from his standpoint, the territory near Songshan is too small, and it is enough to have a bully from Fawang Temple, and another Songshan thief is a little unbearable. If you can get rid of Chen Lan and Lei Bo with the help of Qiuming, the Songshan area will naturally be able to prosper Buddhism and be the sole ruler of the Dharma again.

After a hurried meal in the temple, the group embarked on the journey again. It is said that it is a meal, but in fact, it is a mountain treasure, what bear's paw and deer breast have everything, and many things are unheard of in Qiuming. On the way to Shaomu Mountain, Qiu Ming asked the leader of the warrior monks with a tooth flower: "Master Jueyuan, you usually eat so well?" Don't you need to be vegetarian? ”

Jueyuan is a fat monk with a big waist and a round waist, with a bald head and shiny oil. He smiled and said, "I'm just a warrior monk watching the mountain gate, and I can't be a master." But we dance and play with sticks on weekdays, if there is no oil in the stomach, how can we move? Besides, the wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left in his heart, as long as we sincerely worship the Buddha, the dried meat we eat is just to eliminate the bad karma of these livestock, but it is a good deed. ”

Qiu Ming didn't expect that this Jueyuan looked like a flower monk on the outside, but he could say such a truth, no wonder he was able to lead so many dozens of warrior monks. He smiled and said, "In this case, in your opinion, how should we attack this Shaomu Mountain?" ”

Jueyuan shook his head and said: "I think you have at most about 2,000 people, Chen Lanlei Bo has more than 3,000 people who guard the village on weekdays, and there are still four or five thousand people stationed outside the mountain. ”

He was shaking his head and saying, the barbarian Zhu Ping raised his eyes and saw a flock of birds hovering in the air on the opposite mountain, chirping but not flying into the forest, his face changed greatly: "It's not good, they have an ambush, let's retreat quickly." ”

Tyumen was still a little confused about the situation, and several mediocre leaders also shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, speed formation." After speaking, the mediocre people led by Shen Tan Jinxuan immediately formed several large and small circle arrays, and several circle arrays formed a larger circle array, which looked like thick turtle shells. The prestige and qualifications of those leaders of Deng Zhouyong were not as far as Shen Tan, so they also honestly arranged for their subordinates to act according to his orders.

Zhu Ping and his clansmen were about to run away, but when they saw the mediocre people retreating like this, they sneered and said: "We are destroying the enemy while retreating, but you have to fight hard, the tactics are different, the tactics are different." ”

After such a delay, many heads had already appeared on the opposite hill, and hundreds of cavalry were running in front, and behind were infantry and archers all over the hills, and the sound was huge, startling the hares and goats all over the valley.

The forward cavalry rushed in front of them, and when they saw that the mediocre people had already taken out their bows and arrows and were waiting for them, they had to restrain their mounts from outside the firing range. The leader was wearing a big red coat, and Changge scolded loudly: "Bald donkey, I and the abbot of your family have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, how can you lead troops to attack me?" If I hadn't had eyeliner in the temple, I was afraid that I would have been succeeded by you. ”

Before Jueyuan could answer, Qiu Ming had already urged him to step forward and say, "Are you Chen Lan or Lei Bo?" I am Cheng Qiuming of Dengzhou County, and you besieged and killed my subordinates the day before yesterday, almost killing him. Today I have come to get you. ”
