Chapter 163: The Last Chance Before the Calamity
Duan Shaojun smiled shyly. "My master can't see the people suffering, so I am willing to follow the Buddha's action of cutting meat and feeding eagles, thinking that the old and weak women and children in the Quanlan Pavilion are seeking peace." The real situation, Duan Shaojun was naturally embarrassed to tell a sincere person like Xu Dagongzi.
Anyway, the real reason is that the fewer people who know, the better, in case the secret is leaked, it is not only his master who will lose face, especially when he thinks that his master can whip a person like Ximen Dongliang against the wall, Duan Shaojun felt his liver tremble.
"Don't worry, the younger brother will rush back to inform his father, and in addition, I will contact those people who our Xu family deals with to inform them of the news. Strive for everyone to rush to Xishan, and persuade the master not to be so radical, there will definitely be a solution to the matter. After that, Xu Dagongzi was about to lift his ass and leave, but was called by Duan Shaojun.
"That, remember to let your sister, well, that is, Xiao Doudou and her mother leave Lanting City early, especially if your sister is so young, but she can't stand to be frightened, it will be easy for her to leave a psychological shadow. In addition, if you have time, it is best to inform Qi Niang and them again, and let them also rush to Xishan, in case of a real flood, they can't leave if they want to. ”
"Thank you Engong for reminding me, my little brother knows what to do." Xu Qianxun gratefully bowed Duan Shaojun and walked towards the outside of the medical hall.
Gradually, in order to stop the frequent floods in Lanting, the abbot was willing to set himself on fire, hoping that the news that would move the gods and Buddhas of the heavens spread like a chain of lightning in Lanting City.

Those who believe in Buddhism, or those who have received the favor of the abbot of dreams, do not care about the darkness of the sky. Prelude to heavy rain. Call friends. dragged his family to the West Mountain, hoping to stop the abbot from acting out of tune.
As soon as I heard that someone was going to self-immolate, those who were not interested in monks and Taoists were also very interested, and decided to drag their families and families to Xishan to see this rare wonder in a hundred years. Even some people were talking loudly on the road about whether there would be some wonderland when the dream abbot set himself on fire.
Duan Shaojun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and secretly rejoiced that Shizun had rushed to Xishan first at his request. Otherwise, maybe after listening to the gossip and anger of these guys, it is not necessary to beat yourself up to get angry.
The west gate is close to the Rantei. In addition, the scenery is beautiful, so in addition to a house built by Shizun himself, there are still several wealthy merchants and gentry who have built other courtyards in the Ximen Mountains, although they are not big, but they are also a place to shelter from the wind and rain. And Xu Da's shopkeeper's house is also on the West Mountain, and there is an exaggerated courtyard, when the time comes, these courtyards can be used to house the old, the young, the sick and the disabled.
But these are all later words, and the most important thing now is to hope that more people in Lanting City will leave.
It was close to noon. Duan Shaojun saw the heavily armed Hu Junwei and Chen Xianling and many other Lanting officials coming one after another. After Jianyin, the senior brother who was left by the abbot of the dream to preside over the work in the medical hall, got the report, he patted Duan Shaojun on the shoulder. motioned for him to go with him to meet him.
Standing on the steps, Senior Brother Jianyin paused, and with a kind gaze, he saluted with one palm and shouted a Buddha horn to the people waiting at the bottom of the steps.
"Hu has seen Master Jianyin." Hu Junwei, who was over forty years old, didn't seem to see the casual attitude of the sound master, and led a group of officials to salute the sound master standing on the steps.
"By the way, there is also this Wang Sima who just arrived in Lanting yesterday." Then he leaned halfway and moved out of the way.
Dressed in a light scarlet flower brocade robe, about forty years old, with a square face and three long beards, the new Sima of Lanting County stood up and said with a slight salute. "Sima Wang of Lanting County has seen the master."
Regarding his casual and disrespectful, even somewhat reluctant performance, Jianyin smiled faintly, waved his hand and returned the salute disapprovingly.
And the Lanting County officials beside Wang Sima all showed a very strange expression, and even took a step back in unison, and in the blink of an eye, a blank space had already formed around Wang Sima.
This Wang Sima didn't notice such a scene, or rather, he felt that Senior Brother Jianyin was really a paper tiger, and he couldn't even see his own temptation, and he was proud in his heart, where could he still pay attention to these small actions without a trace.
However, the other officials all stepped forward to salute, and they were even more respectful than the official who visited him yesterday night, which made Wang Sima feel unhappy in his heart. But in the end, he is also a person who has stepped into the officialdom for ten years, and naturally knows that this is not the time to go crazy, but he just keeps the most humble posture among these people in his heart, and when he has time, he will clean up well to shock the official authority.
"You don't have to be polite, by the way, this is my junior brother, Duan Shaojun, the proud disciple of the new family teacher." Jianyin motioned for Duan Shaojun to take a step forward, and then solemnly introduced. "This time the family teacher intends to use his own strength to save the people of Lanting, and it is from the hands of my junior brother."
At this introduction, Hu Junwei, who originally only showed a kind expression, raised his eyebrows, glanced at Duan Shaojun deeply, and showed a bright and affectionate smile. "It turned out to be a proud disciple of Master Mengfu, disrespectful and disrespectful, I couldn't imagine that he would have such a scheming method at such a young age, I can't wait for it."
"Yes, yes, this official saw that because he was deceived by the villain, he almost offended the master of the dream relics, and I hope that the master will not blame the strange eyes." Chen Xianling had a flattering smile on his face, and he shook it to the ground, his demeanor and tone were humble, where was there still a little bit of the first appearance of his parents in a county that day, seeing Duan Shaojun shaking his head again and again, he couldn't help but think of Zhou Xingxing's classic words in the past. "Official, official? It turns out that this is the official...... Hahaha. ”
"Naturally, I don't blame Chen County Order, after all, the county order was deceived and instigated by bad people, and it is not counted below." Duan Shaojun replied with a smile in return.
Hearing this, the expressions of the officials of Lanting County became very strange, and the appearance of one or two people who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh was like a group of severe prostate patients waiting for treatment. This seems to be ordinary, but in fact it is vicious, it is basically saying that Chen Xianling is so stupid that he was fooled to offend the abbot of Meng, which of the officials who voted to be the master of the whole heart, and it is strange that he does not understand the meaning of Duan Shaojun's words.
Chen Xianling's face turned from red to purple, and after saluting Duan Shaojun again, he sighed and said no more. He knew very well that dreaming of the abbot was definitely not something he could afford to offend. Think about the fate of Liu Changqing, the beloved son of Yangzhou Liu Tingshi who offended the person in front of him.
was broken limbs, thrown on the boat, and sent directly to Yangzhou Thorn Mansion. However, Liu Tingshi could only hurriedly hand over the guilty recital to the court, and at the same time wrote a letter to the abbot of Mengfu to apologize.
There is even news that Liu Tingshi wanted to go to Lanting County to ask Master Dream for his guilt in person, so he also revealed this meaning in the letter, but Master Dream Confusion didn't even reply to the letter. Therefore, Liu Tingshi had to stop the idea of preparing for the boat and squatted in Yangzhou honestly.
Even Yangzhou Thorn Shi is afraid of it like a tiger, he is just a small county order of seven, unless he wants to find death, otherwise even if he can't turn the war into a jade silk, at least let the abbot know his attitude.
Duan Shaojun's attitude made this Wang Sima's face colder and colder, but he also vaguely learned from the mouths of the officials that Lanting County was a place where the dragon and the tiger were hidden, and it must be low-key, especially the great monk of the Dream Master. It is for this reason, coupled with the fact that he is new to the school, Wang Sima decided to continue to observe.

Senior Brother Jianyin glanced at Duan Shaojun, smiled faintly, and then said to the officials. "How to act, you just have to ask my junior brother, the poor monk still has important matters, so he will leave first."
"It's okay, it's okay, the master walks slowly." Hu Junwei and other officials are like a group of women who are watching their lovers go away to join the army, their eyes and expressions look so blurred, and the abundance of emotions makes Duan Shaojun shiver all over his body, and the chrysanthemums are tight.
Duan Shaojun introduced this group of people into the medical hall, the guests and hosts sat separately, Duan Shaojun was directly pressed on the main seat by Hu Junwei, Duan Shaojun was not a modest person, after the guests and hosts sat down, they began to ask about the implementation of this official's pre-disaster prevention.
"Five hundred soldiers have been sent to the West Mountain, and all the marching tents in the barracks have been brought to the West Mountain. However, those tents alone are not enough. Now they're cutting down trees and building more sheds......"
"There are also nearly 1,000 soldiers and servants who are calling on the people to go to Xishan to persuade the Dream Master not to do such a drastic act."
“…… So far, there have been more than 7,000 Lanting people who have left Lanting City and rushed to Xishan, and I am afraid that there will be more in the afternoon. ”
"In addition, we have contacted a lot of wealthy merchants and gentry and asked them to try to transport more grain and timber to Xishan for emergency use."
"By the way, several gentry and merchants who have other courtyards in Xishan have promised that if there is a real flood, they are willing to open their courtyards for the elderly and weak to take refuge ......"
Duan Shaojun was listening most of the time, occasionally asking, it didn't take much effort, Duan Shaojun already had a grasp of the situation. I have to say that the news that the host of the dignified Hidden Dragon Temple, the first good dream abbot of Lanting, suddenly did not expect to perform a self-immolation performance in front of the public, and this news still attracted countless idle people.
In addition, a large number of people are pouring out of the city, and it is expected that more than one-third of the people of Lanting will rush to Xishan. In this way, when the water level of the meandering river soars, there is much less pressure to persuade the people to leave their homes and rush to Xishan to avoid the disaster.
"Lanting City was able to have such a situation before the catastrophe, thanks to the help of all of you...... Hu Junwei, in addition to tents, also need to prepare more pots and stoves, in case after the mountain is besieged, the people who can't go home have hot food, in addition, it is also necessary to designate an area on the west mountain as a hut...... I also ask you to tell the county officials that after the catastrophe, there will be a great epidemic, and the epidemic will mostly enter from the mouth, and at that time, tens of thousands of people will gather on the top of the western mountain, and as long as one person is infected with the epidemic, these tens of thousands will ......"
