Abbot Yeondeok's meditation room is located in a secluded place, isolated from the wing room in the front yard of the temple, and several monks take turns patrolling it on weekdays, so that privacy can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
Abbot Yande took Zhou Cang into the meditation room and sat cross-legged and instructed Zhou Cang to sit opposite him: "Yuantong, sit down and listen to Master tell you my story." ” Zhou Cang was overjoyed and sat cross-legged opposite the abbot of Yande: "The disciple has long wanted to know about the deeds of the master, and I would like to hear about it in detail."
The abbot of Yande closed his eyes slightly, and said eloquently: "My surname is Yang, my ancestral home is Taiyuan County, my father's surname is Yang Mingye, and my mother's surname is She." ” The Yang family is a loyal martyr, Zhou Cang naturally knows the names of Yang Ye and She Saihua, and when he heard what the abbot of Yande said, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Alas, Master's Lingzun has the same name and surname as my Han Lao Linggong, and my mother is also the same surname, what a coincidence." ” "Hehe, that Yang Lao Linggong is my father," Abbot Yande smiled bitterly, "She Taijun is my biological mother, and Yang Yanzhao and Yang Yansi are my brothers." ” "Ah, what's going on" Zhou Cang couldn't help but close his mouth in surprise when he heard this, "Master, you are from the Yang family, which is full of loyal martyrs."
Abbot Yande's face was like frost, his eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to be immersed in the memories of the past: "My real name is Yang Chun, my cousin is Yande, and I am ranked fifth in the Yang family, and I am known as Yang Wulang." ” "In the past, I followed my father to guard the border passes, the Huns invaded in a big way, and the imperial court and the state assassin were reluctant to send reinforcements, and our father and son were finally outnumbered and surrounded.
The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother all died on the battlefield, and the fourth brother was also missing, and unlike the three brothers, no body was found.
I narrowly escaped death, was rescued by a little novice, became a monk, and narrowly escaped my life."
Zhou Cang looked surprised: "Alas, the apprentice really never dreamed that the master was the Yang family Goro, but what the apprentice didn't understand was why the master let the general not do it, but ran to the temple in the barren mountains and mountains to become a monk."
Yang Wulang said expressionlessly: "I have despaired of the dim imperial court, and I am also disappointed in myself.
My four brothers died on the battlefield, but I was greedy for life and afraid of death to become a deserter, what face will I have to go to the battlefield again in the future, what face will I have to face my parents and brothers, and for me Yang Wulang, escaping into the empty door may be the best relief."
Zhou Cang argued: "But the court is dim, that is a thing of the past, since the current holy capital Jinling, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the capable ministers gather, the Han Dynasty is invincible, and the people welcome the people wherever the king goes, and the people are welcome."
The apprentice believes that under the governance of His Majesty, the Han Dynasty will surely prosper again, and the country and the people will be safe. ” Zhou Cang, who is honest and honest on weekdays, mentioned Liu Wei with a respectful face at this moment, and he actually said the truth, and his writing was brilliant, Yang Wulang was surprised when he heard this: "Yuantong, you usually don't talk much, why do you know so clearly about the affairs of the imperial court?"
"I was a general under the Son of Heaven, of course I know" Zhou Cang was so excited that he didn't choose to say anything, revealing his identity before he became a monk.
Yang Wulang didn't show a surprised expression, and bowed his head slightly: "As expected, I saw that you are full of martial arts, excellent strength, and have a few scars on your body, so I guess that you have been an officer and soldier nine times out of ten."
But I don't know who you used to play under."
"Back to the master's words, the disciple once carried a knife for the Hou Guan Yunchang of Hanshou Pavilion" Zhou Cang had a fascinated expression, and his admiration for Guan Yu was a few points better than that of the master.
Yang Wulang also looked admiring: "General Guan is righteous and brave, and he takes the head of the general among thousands of troops and horses.
Yuantong is your blessing that you can serve by his side, why did you suddenly run to Langya to become a monk?"
When Zhou Cang roughly told him about his renunciation, he sighed: "The disciple feels that he has been entrusted by His Majesty, and he has no face to see the saint and the prince, so he has to escape into the empty door. ” "I can't imagine that Yuantong has such a personal relationship with children under your rough appearance, it seems that you haven't let go of earthly things" Yang Wulang folded his hands and sighed, and his words changed, "In fact, how can you let go of it as a teacher" Zhou Cang looked puzzled: "I don't know what the master said about this" Yang Wulang said: "In the past few days, I heard that the city of Pi was broken, and my mother and several younger siblings were all captured by the Wei army, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep all night, I couldn't do the six roots pure, I couldn't jump out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements, I was really ashamed."
Zhou Cang is teaching the monks in the temple martial arts on weekdays, and rarely inquires about the world, so he doesn't know the news of the destruction of Xiapi City, and he was startled when he heard Yang Wulang's words at this moment: "Ah, Xia Picheng has been breached, She Lao Taijun has been arrested, how is this good, it is better for our master and apprentice to accumulate hair and return to the world, and help General Qin Shubao recapture Xiapi."
Yang Wulang shook his head and said: "As a teacher, I have decided to accompany the green lantern wooden fish in this life, promote Buddhism, and purify the world, how can I give up halfway, I am afraid that I need to open a killing ring today, it is really a good life to make the master embarrassed."
"Well, isn't it the group of merchants who came during the day that Master is referring to," Zhou Cang asked, stroking his shiny head.
Yang Wulang nodded and said: "It is that the woman who is called Huanyu during the day is none other than my cousin Yang Yuhuan, who was just canonized as a beauty by the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the spring, but I didn't expect to appear in Xingguo Temple." ” "In this way, these people are Cao Cao's subordinates," Zhou Cang guessed as he stroked his thick beard, "Master can't be the wrong person."
Yang Wulang smiled slightly and said: "Yuhuan is naturally beautiful, and the country and the city are captivated, how can my brother admit that he is wrong, and Yuhuan is also familiar with me, I am just afraid of arousing the vigilance of these people, so I didn't recognize her." ” Zhou Cang slapped his thigh and jumped up: "It's really heaven has a way for him not to go, hell has no door to come and don't be a monk, today I will kill all these Wei dogs and rescue Yang Meiren to repay Your Majesty's kindness" "You are indeed not suitable to be a monk, after this incident, you will return to the world" Yang Wulang nodded and agreed to Zhou Cang's request, "The beauty who saved the Son of Heaven is a great achievement, and it can also wash away the shame of being teased by women." ” Zhou Cang rubbed his hands and was eager to try: "Since this is the case, then what disciples are you waiting for, go and gather the warrior monks of the whole temple, kill all these Wei dogs, and rescue Yang Meiren." ” "Wait," Yang Wulang stretched out his hand to block Zhou Cang, "We have more than three hundred monks in Xingguo Temple, of which two-thirds are warrior monks, so it stands to reason that there is no need to be afraid of these one hundred and ten Wei soldiers."
It's just that the burly man in it doesn't look idle, and the opponent is not absolutely sure, so you must not act recklessly. ” "What should I do then," Zhou Cang asked with a frown.
Yang Wulang thought for a moment and said: "It's a pity that there are no drugs or anything like that in our Buddhist land, and I don't know where to buy them in a hurry, so I can send a few novices down the mountain to buy some turbid wine to entertain them, and after getting drunk, take advantage of the night to do it." ” Zhou Cang immediately sent more than a dozen monks down the mountain according to Yang Wulang's instructions, and in the name of entertaining guests, he went to the wine shop in the town to buy twenty jars of fine wine and transported them up the mountain, and sent a monk who could speak well to Kuai Liang and others: "The abbot of the temple is worried about the construction of the monk's house, and the donor's incense money has solved the urgent need, and the abbot has nothing to repay, so he sent twenty altars of fine wine to express his gratitude." ” "Please thank the abbot on my behalf," Kuai Liang folded his hands in thanks.
After the monk left, Kuai Liang immediately warned the salivating Xu Chu and others: "Nothing to be courteous, either traitor or theft."
Buddhism is a quiet place, and the dignified monks even provide wine and meat to the guests, but they are afraid that there will be fraud.
No one is allowed to drink alcohol without permission, so be careful at night. ” "Hi Kuai Zirou, are you too cautious" Xu Chu loves fine wine the most in his life, and he has long been unable to hold on to the twenty wine jars at this moment, and he doesn't think so, "The monks all said that they bought it to thank us for our incense money, why should you be suspicious" Kuai Liang lowered his voice and said, "Have you ever heard the conversation between Yang Yuhuan and the abbot during the day?"
"Could it be that there is a mystery here" Xu Chu suddenly had an epiphany, carefully recalling the conversation between Yang Yuhuan and the abbot when he was in the main hall during the day, and it was indeed a little strange.
Kuai Liang nodded and said: "Most of the two of them are old acquaintances, and the monk is only afraid of arousing the suspicion of you and me, so he doesn't dare to recognize Yang Yuhuan."
In the blink of an eye, they sent monks to bring wine, but they were afraid that their hearts would be unpredictable, and not only could they not drink alcohol tonight, but they could not even sleep, so they should be more vigilant, lest there be a mistake. ” After being reminded by Kuailiang, Xu Chu and other soldiers had no choice but to endure the temptation of fine wine, hastily ate a little dry food they carried, put steel knives, swords, spears and other weapons at the head of the bed, and carefully listened to the movements outside.
In the middle of the night, Yang Wulang took off his robe and changed into a strong suit, and Zhou Cang led a hundred and ten warrior monks, all carrying sticks, tiptoed to the wing room where Kuai Liang and others stayed, and ordered the other 200 monks to ambush in the periphery with knives, guns and sticks, and not let anyone go.
Under the moonlight, he suddenly heard a "bang", Xu Chu kicked open the door and rushed out with a tiger head knife in his hand: "What a black-hearted temple, he wants to drunk us with wine, and he doesn't open his eyes to kill people and goods, I am one of the four spirit generals of Wei State, and Xu Zhongkang of Qiaojun is also" Before Xu Chu's words fell, the big knife flew over, and the silver light was shining in the moonlight, and he cut down four or five monks in the blink of an eye, and no one could stop him with a big knife.
"The moon is dark and the wind is high, when killing people and setting fires, what a thief's nest, the soldiers will kill me" Kuai Liang stood in front of Yang Yuhuan's wing room with a sword in his hand, and commanded the disguised Wei pawn to kill the monks.
"The poor monk is a big man, Zhou Cang is also, eat me with a knife" Zhou Cang shouted violently, brandished a big knife and cut down two Wei pawns to stop Xu Chu from fighting.
Xu Chu let out a string of disdainful laughter: "Haha, you are the guy who carried the knife for Guan Yu, you are not my opponent, quickly retreat and change to Guan Yu to fight with me for three hundred rounds" t1706231537:
