A knife in love

Mao Shusheng was interrupted by Murong Danyan, he was very annoyed in his heart, thinking to himself that this brat speaks recklessly and rudely, it is really abominable.It's just that the person surnamed Ye is very respectful in front of him, I'm afraid this kid has a special background.Right now I have something to ask from this group of people, so it's better not to offend him.

Thinking of this, Mao Scholar laughed dryly, and said in his mouth: "This little brother is very right. I grew up in Fusang country since I was a child, and I have never been to Zhongtu. I only listened to the stories of the seniors of the Mao family. Having said that, there are many fallacies in it, but it is not uncommon.”

When Murong Danyan heard Mao Shusheng's words, he felt more and more complacent, and was about to rob him of some words, but Li Qiufeng rushed to say: "Master Mao, I don't know what happened to Bailian Club?"

Seeing Li Qiufeng rushing to speak, Mao Shusheng knew that he didn't want Murong Danyan to interrupt him, so he felt a little grateful to Li Qiufeng, and said: "I came here in a hurry to meet you today, and I haven't asked Your Excellency Gao's name yet. "

Li Qiufeng pondered for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "My surname is Li, and my name is Qiufeng." When he said this, he turned his head and pointed at Murong Danyan, and said, "This little brother Mu is Li's companion. , and ask the owner to take care of him."

Mao Shusheng nodded, and said in his mouth: "It turns out that it is Mr. Li and Mr. Mu. It is a great fortune for my Mao family to visit Bailian Villa. If you two need help from Bailian Villa in the future, I will definitely lead the Mao family. The children went to help."

When Mao Shusheng said this, he took a look at Li Qiufeng, and then continued: "During the Northern Song Dynasty, people from all over the country continued to revolt against the government, and most of these revolting people were under the banner of Buddhism or Taoism. For example, the most famous Fangla Uprising Under the guise of Mingjiao. Fang La is the leader of Mingjiao, and he has great prestige in various places in the south of the Yangtze River.

Before Mao Shusheng finished his sentence, Murong Danyan rushed to say: "Nonsense! How could Fang La, a big villain, be the leader of Mingjiao?! He is obviously a salt dealer, and he also colluded with the Liao State to try to seize the Great Song Dynasty. Later, he was The Liangshan hero was defeated, Fang La fled desperately, and was besieged by Lu Zhishen and Wu Song. Finally, Wu Song captured Fang La with one arm, took him alive, and escorted him to Bianliang, Tokyo. Fang La, the hero of Liangshan, suffered heavy casualties. The Song court killed this big villain, and it can be regarded as avenging Zhang Shun, the Ruan family brothers and other heroes. It was a good kill, a good kill, and Fang La croaked!"

Mao Shusheng was robbed by Murong Danyan. Hearing her talk, he was quite annoyed, but because Li Qiufeng and Ye Fengchun were present, and he couldn't turn his back on Murong Danyan, he had to close his mouth and stop talking, panting heavily. gas.Seeing Murong Danyan repeatedly interrupting Mao Shusheng, Monk Tonghai hated her so much that he couldn't help glaring at Murong Danyan.Li Qiufeng and Ye Fengchun also felt that Murong Danyan was talking nonsense, which was too rude, and they were quite embarrassed.For a while, no one spoke in the room, and it seemed quite quiet.

After a while, Murong Danyan let out a "huh" and said, "Master Mao, do you think what I said is wrong?"

Mao Shusheng laughed twice, and said in his mouth: "Young Master Mu is talking about the story of the Water Margin, which Mao has heard of in Fusang. However, the Water Margin is a folk legend, and there is no record in the history books about Song Jiang and other hundred Mao did not dare to speak falsely about the deeds of the Eight Generals. As for Fang La’s defeat, it was caused by the siege led by Tong Guan. It was Han Shizhong who captured Fang La, not Wu Song. Han Shizhong was only a small school at that time, and had not yet become a general in command. "

When Mao Shusheng said this, seeing Murong Danyan raised his eyebrows, he seemed to be arguing with himself again, so he hurriedly said: "Fang La launched an army against the Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, relying on the followers of Mingjiao. Mingjiao was originally called Manichaeism. It is a foreign sect spread from the Western Regions to the Central Plains. It has always been disgusted by the government because of the weird behavior of the congregants, and the Manichaeism is not allowed to teach disciples in the Central Plains. Manichaeism was renamed Mingjiao to avoid the pursuit of the government. Because Mingjiao believers only eat vegetables and do not eat meat, some people who hate Mingjiao call them "vegetable-eating monsters" and expose Mingjiao's conspiracy to the government. The government They sent officers and soldiers to encircle the followers of the Ming Cult and forbid them to form associations. Naturally, the Ming Cult was unwilling to be oppressed by the government, so they simply rose up, captured prefectures, counties, and cities, and openly confronted the Song Dynasty court.

"The Song Dynasty sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Mingjiao rebel army. Many sects oppressed by the government joined forces with the Mingjiao to deal with the officers and soldiers. The government collectively referred to these heretical sects that opposed the court as the 'Eating Vegetables Demon Sect', and some of them were members of the White Lotus Society. It's just that the leaders of the rebels who rose up against the officers and soldiers at that time were all Mingjiao believers, and the members of the Bailian Society were not eye-catching.

"During Song Gaozong's Shaoxing period, a monk who originally believed in Tiantai Sect converted to Pure Land Sect and converted to the Pure Land Sect temple. In order to promote the essence of Pure Land Sect Buddhism, this monk traveled around the world and gave lectures. Finally, he went to Jiangnan and founded a school of Buddhism. The name is Bailianzong. This monk and layman's name is Mao Ziyuan, and he is honored as Bailian Teacher by Bailianzong believers."

When Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Ye Fengchun heard Mao Shusheng mentioning Mao Ziyuan's name, their hearts trembled, and they couldn't help but look at each other.Ye Fengchun said with a smile: "This mentor Bailian, I think he is the ancestor of the owner."

Mao Shusheng nodded, and said in his mouth: "The shopkeeper Ye Da is right. Before the ancestor Mao Ziyuan became a monk, he married a wife and had children. It's just that he believed in Buddhism, abandoned his wife and son, escaped into Buddhism, and eventually became a generation of Buddhist masters. His old man At the beginning, he believed in Tiantai sect, but later dabbled in the essence of Buddhism written by monk Huiyuan. He was so impressed that he turned to Pure Land sect. To show that we will not forget our patriarch, Monk Hui."

When Mao Shusheng said this, he took out a thin booklet from his arms, opened the booklet and flipped through it, and continued to say: "This booklet is the family record passed down from generation to generation by the Mao family, and it records the deeds of the Mao family in the past. Here is a passage quoted from the Baojian of the Lushan Lotus School written by the Buddhist master Pudu of the Yuan Dynasty, telling the story of the ancestors' establishment of the White Lotus School, saying, "Zi Yuangong is the legacy of the Lushan Yuangong Lotus Society, and persuades people to convert to the Three Jewels and abide by the Five Precepts.'"

At this point, Mao Shusheng turned the booklet to a certain page, and then showed it to Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan and Ye Fengchun.Seeing that this passage was indeed written on the album page, the three of them secretly marveled in their hearts.After the three of them read it, Mao Shusheng took the booklet back into his arms, and continued: "Since the ancestor Zi Yuangong founded the White Lotus School, the White Lotus Society has become a major school of Buddhism, and the White Lotus School advocates teaching without distinction, and many poor people The people were rejected by other Buddhist sects, and finally turned to the White Lotus Sect, which made the White Lotus Sect more and more powerful, and the incense in several temples under the sect was extremely strong."
