Chapter 68 Xuanzang seeks scriptures in the West

5days ago traverse Novels 2
It is said that the host of Qingniling Temple originated from becoming a monk in Mount Emei.

But when she arrived in the Qinling Mountains, she had not promoted Buddhism. Perhaps because she was not good at studying Buddhism, otherwise how could she have had a good relationship with Taoist people with unknown factions?

As a disciple from Mount Emei, this kind of thing is simply a taboo now.

At first, there were many Taoist palaces in Mount Emei. In the late Han Dynasty and Eastern Jin Dynasty, Buddhism used Mount Emei as the temple for Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and soon expelled Taoism.

The Taoist temples in Mount Emei still exist, but they have many contradictions with Buddhism.

Of course, Jingniang’s disciples don’t care about these things. They claim to be Taoism, but in fact they are a bit inappropriate.

The host of Qingniling Temple should pay attention to these things, but now she doesn't seem to want to pay attention to it; the temple is on the verge of bankruptcy, and perhaps she thinks that it is the most important thing to prevent a group of women from starving to death.

Now, the two nuns are coming to Sanguan hundreds of miles from to repay the favors of the female Taoist priest Jingniang.Then he got involved in mundane affairs and was asked to describe the terrain, climate and other conditions of Qingniling.

Although Guo Shao has awe of unknown things such as gods and ghosts, he does not believe in any religion, let alone be nuns or Taoist nuns, he will use it as long as it is useful.

He was only focused on making military achievements and was waiting to marry the second sister of the Fu family.

According to the nuns, Qingniling is actually very good. It is on Chencang Road, but it is just the most difficult part of the northern section of Shu Road; it is located forty miles south of Guzhen.

The Shu Road first extends along the Jialing River. After arriving in Fengzhou, it is more troublesome to cross the Jialing River, which has a dangerous and urgent river water. So it diverts to the west, passes through Guzhen and then passes Qingniling.

Qingniling has high mountains and rain, and it is difficult to walk on the road. In fact, it is the most dangerous place. There have been many wars; it is not only difficult to capture, but it is even difficult to walk and cross the mountains when there is nothing to do.

After hearing the nun’s story, Guo Shao thought that Qingniling was in the south of Guzhen and did not belong to the goal of this battle to seize Qin and Feng.I felt relieved in my heart.

A group of women came north along the Shu Road and discovered the military camps north of the mighty city, with a total of eight places.This information is very useful to Guo Shao.

...The two teams sent out in the early stage have returned, and Guo Shao and the generals agreed to return to Fengxiu.But before leaving, he decided to consolidate the two footholds of Qingniling Temple and Lao Luo's family in Tangcang Town and establish a stronghold.

This is a simple intelligence system. The main station is located at Chencang, the end of Shu Road. It rented a private house and was temporarily left by Luo Yanhuan and two personal soldiers.

There are two strongholds under it, one is Qingniling Temple, where Jingniang's subordinates pretend to be Buddhist lay disciples and stay behind; the other is Tangcang Town, no longer garrisoned by strong personal soldiers, but two slaves from Li Chuyun's family disguised as vendors and colluded with Old Man Luo.

Li Chuyun's servants were obviously not soldiers, but were easier.

It was the first time everyone saw the spy who sent him to do this. Before, the generals had to inquire about military information, either asking about the peddlers and pawns, or sending scouts to temporarily find out the situation.

Things like lurking and undercover are really little known in the army... Therefore, Guo Shao can only arrange it himself.

This is easy, and you can maintain such a simple organization if you are willing to spend money to support it; as long as the reward is reasonable, people who are willing to take this risk are everywhere.

On the way, Zuo You couldn't help but praise Guo Shao in front of Yang Biao and others: The lord is good at using people, and whether it is a Taoist nun or a slaughter, it can be used.I remembered the battle in Wuqi Town again. The lord was able to quickly rectify the unsuccessful wounded soldiers, even the elderly, weak, women and children into a powerful force. It was amazing.

Luo Mengzi disagreed and said: The general who dedicated the meritorious general also said that the elder brother is best at seizing the opportunity, otherwise the brothers would all die in the Hedong battle formation, and Shi Yanchao would not be able to survive!

……

Just after returning to Fengxiang Inn, Guo Shao found someone looking at him in the window on the wooden building.

Perhaps because of the instinctive reaction formed by practicing archery, he paid extra attention to the commanding heights where the field of vision is relatively open, so he suddenly discovered the Li family's little lady hiding behind the window.

Then everyone on both sides looked up as Guo Shao's eyes.

He is the leader of the group, so naturally every word and action is easier to attract attention from the people accompanying him.

But at this time people saw nothing, only a window, and the bamboo curtain was still shaking gently.

Just like the sudden look at everyone in the hall of Li's Mansion in Binzhou, no one saw her.The Li family’s wife always moves so quickly.

The blind man could see the thoughts of the Li family’s wife, let alone the person involved in Guo Shao.Guo Shao could only pretend to be stupid... If Queen Fu hadn't promised him, he would have thought the wife of the Li family was also good.

Then everyone went back to their rooms. Jingniang and Guo Shao walked together. As soon as they walked up the wooden stairs, they ran into Li.

Li stood in front of him, his head lowered and his face flushed. Guo Shao and Jingniang were both stunned.

Guo Shao hurriedly bowed his hand and said hello.

Mrs. Li said softly: I have washed the robe that Guodu sent me in Binzhou, so I will give it back to you.

Guo Shao took a look and she had no hands on her hands.

I thought to myself: Returning something is a natural excuse to meet. This trick is still used in later generations.

However, Li seemed a little awkward to do it. Since he had something to do, he didn't even take the things.

Guo Shao had the illusion of falling in love for a moment, but his mind was still clear: love in ancient times was by no means possible.

It was just something, and her face was carefully decorated; her clothes were also new, with a light red silk material on the upper body, a short narrow sleeve, and a flower ribbon, which was called a silk ribbon at this time; the skirt was slightly darker in color, and the floral patterns were like pomegranates, forming a sense of layering.

But for Guo Shao, as long as his face is not ugly, he can wear anything in his clothes; what he cares most about is the figure and temperament of a woman.

At this time, his eyes were quickly attracted by Li's bulging chest... It has been nearly two months since he left Beijing, and he has not known the hometown of gentleness for a long time, so he is really easy to be provoked.

It was nearly October, and the weather in Guanzhong was already relatively cold, and people were wearing thicker clothes.

At this time, the woman did not have bra support, and the clothes of the Han people were relatively loose. The breasts that could support several layers of thick clothes would never be too small... Guo Shao didn't like too small breasts.

Besides, Li's face is also very beautiful, with a kind of roundness with weak bones and abundant muscles.

However, in terms of figure, Jing Niang is the most exaggerated and seductive, but she deliberately covers it up. She is usually cold, and Guo Shao dare not make rash things easily.

He was stimulated by Li's soft words and shamelessly imagined a pair of white and big jade rabbits in his mind.

At this time, Li said lightly: Follow me to get the robe... There is a broken hole in a place, and I have sewed it for you.

Guo Shao stood still.

Mrs. Li turned around and said: Come on.That tone was as if he was coaxing and seducing him.

Guo Shao thought for a moment, then greeted Jing Niang: Please help me get that dress.

He was just glad that he was smart and adaptable, but Li said directly: You left Fengxiang for a total of thirty-two days, and I counted it, as if it had been thirty-two years... What's wrong with me? Why do you ignore it?

Guo Shao was speechless and thought that it was not bad for her, but Fu Ermei should be better.If you don't have to take responsibility, of course both are good...

At this moment, Jing Niang walked up and said to Li coldly: Don’t you want to return the clothes? Will you still pay them back?

Such cold words made Li stunned. Perhaps she realized that there was a woman next to Guo Shao.

It’s not that Jing Niang is not easy to be noticed. She is tall and not a person who is easily overlooked. It’s just that she didn’t say a word before, as if she was indifferent. Li really didn’t want to care about her.

Li did not compete with Jing Niang, and took Jing Niang back to the house to get things in frustration.

So Guo Shao and Jingniang went to the other room one after another.Jing Niang threw his clothes on the bed and was about to leave, but couldn't help but turn back and said: Why don't you accept the kindness of the Li family's wife?

Guo Shao pondered for a while before asking: Have you heard of Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty?

Um.Jingniang responded casually, standing there waiting for him to continue saying something.

Guo Shao sighed and continued: Xuanzang was a monk from the Tang Dynasty, so he was called a monk from the Tang Dynasty.The Tang monk went to India to obtain scriptures, and it was said that he had gone through eighty-one difficulties along the way.I don't think it's all difficult. Some are dangerous, while others are tempting.The monsters on the road heard that Tang Monk could live forever after eating meat, so many monsters wanted to harm him... However, some female fairies just fell in love with him and wanted to seduce him. There was also a queen of the Kingdom of Women, who enjoyed endless wealth and beauty, and wanted Tang Monk to stay and share the country with her.But in the end, Tang Monk was unmoved.

Jing Niang listened carefully and said: This is the first time I have heard Xuanzang go to India to have such strange and strange stories.Then why is he unmoved?Do you want to say that he sees through the world and that all the four elements are empty?

Guo Shao shook his head and said: After Monk Tang took the sutra, he could become a Buddha.Compared with the good things like becoming a Buddha and living with the sun and the moon, the beautiful Emperor of the Kingdom of Women is not worth mentioning.So those temptations couldn't move him at all.

Did Xuanzang become a Buddha?Jingniang became more and more curious.

Guo Shao nodded and said: This is the case in the legend. Retrieve the scriptures to save all living beings and benefit living beings. Then he can achieve fame and become a Buddha.A happy ending.

Jing Niang understood and nodded as if she had some understanding, then shook her head: What does that have to do with your rejection of the Li family’s wife?What do you want to get to be like Xuanzang achieving enlightenment and becoming a Buddha?

Guo Shao felt that this saint aunt had no threat in recent months, but she was not someone who could be trusted unconditionally... He didn't tell anyone about the promise of the queen, and even Yang Luo and other brothers didn't know.

Besides, Jing Niang has ignored Zhao Kuangyin recently, and even ignored Taoist temple affairs and came to follow her... Guo Shao could probably guess that he had to be responsible for his destruction of her innocence, but how exactly did she want to be responsible?

Guo Shao didn't believe that Jing Niang was willing to be a concubine.

So he casually said: You will understand in the future.
