A knife in love

Chapter 3754
When Murong Danyan said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Emperor Taizu pondered over and over again, but he still couldn't make up his mind. I remember that when I heard this passage, I was in a teahouse called Helai in Dongliao County. Sister Xiaoyu whispered to me while hearing Mr. Shu's storytelling, in my opinion, the reason why Emperor Taizu was hesitant was probably because he had a third plan, which was to rush into the abbot's room , Kill the abbot Gao Bin and his group of bald donkeys, and then try to destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces, and become the head monk of Huangjue Temple."

Among them, only Li Qiufeng knew who Wang Xiaoyu was. Ye Fengchun and others didn't even know who the so-called "Sister Xiaoyu" was. I know what Murong Danyan's words mean.Seeing that Murong Danyan was talking excitedly, none of the three asked questions.I only heard Murong Danyan continue to say: "At that time, I thought that Sister Xiaoyu was treating a gentleman with a villain's heart, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid what she said was not unreasonable. Emperor Taizu was the founding father of Ming Dynasty. Jun, a generation of outstanding people, was in a desperate situation at that time, and it is not surprising that he wanted to kill Gao Bin and his gang. Before that, he had been traveling for three years, not only had his strength increased a lot, but he also learned the art of killing without a teacher Although there were more than a dozen monks in the abbot's room, if Emperor Taizu suddenly rushed in to kill people, the bald donkeys would be caught off guard, and he would have to kill them all. However, Emperor Taizu didn't kill people in the end, probably because the matter was too cruel , he thought about it and still couldn't decide what to do, so he let the bald donkeys go. But these are my guesses, and they can't be taken seriously.

"Emperor Taizu hid outside the abbot's room and thought about it. He couldn't make up his mind whether to go or stay. In desperation, he suddenly remembered that he had been a monk for more than three years. He could be regarded as a disciple of Shimen. Why didn't he do divination in front of the Buddha?" Take the last hexagram to see what the Buddha hinted to me?"

"Thinking of this, Emperor Taizu quietly left the abbot's room and walked quickly to the Daxiong Hall. At that time, Gao Bin and his gang gathered in the abbot's room to discuss how to deal with Emperor Taizu, and Zhang Lu hid in the monk's room and dared not go out. Therefore, the Emperor Taizu went straight to the Daxiong Hall without meeting any monks. The Emperor Taizu walked into the Daxiong Hall, went straight to the Buddha statue, knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed seven or eight times, and then clasped his hands together. , silently recited the Buddha's name. After a while, he picked up two strings of holy violins from the altar table, and said in his mouth, "Buddha is above, and my disciple sincerely begs you to guide the maze. If you stay away from Fengyang, you can find a way of life. I beg Buddha to appreciate the sun vitriol. If the Buddha I think staying in the temple is the best solution, please reward one yin and one yang.”

When Murong Danyan said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "I guess the Emperor Taizu actually thought of four ways out, one is to escape far away, the other is to stay in the temple, the third is to join the army in Haozhou, and the fourth is to escape." It was to kill Gao Bin and others, and take Huangjue Temple into his own hands. But the latter two ways out are evil ways, which are inconsistent with Buddhist scriptures, so when he prayed to the Buddha, he only said the first two ways out , and hide the last two ways out.

"After the emperor Taizu finished speaking, he threw out the two strings of holy gills. When they fell on the ground, the two strings of holy gills were all Yin gills. Seeing this, the emperor had to pick up the two strings of holy gills and prayed silently for a while. , Throwing out two strings of holy gills, still full of yin. Emperor Taizu was puzzled, so he had to pick up two strings of holy gills, prayed silently and threw them out again. When the two strings of holy gills fell to the ground, unexpectedly It was full yin again. Emperor Taizu was shocked and paled. He thought to himself that he threw the holy jar three times, and all three times it was full yin. He made it clear that he was not allowed to leave or stay. What should I do? Did the Buddha not allow me to escape far away? I am also not allowed to stay in the temple, is it because I am required to go to Haozhou to join the army?

"Thinking of this, Emperor Taizu clasped his hands together and prayed silently in his heart, Lord Buddha, if you want me to go to Haozhou to join the army, please give me three times of Yin! After he prayed, he threw the holy receptacle three times. Yin. Emperor Taizu sighed deeply when he saw this situation, and thought to himself that since the Buddha wanted me to rebel, I had no choice but to rebel! He kowtowed to the Buddha statue more than a dozen times, then got up, strode out of the Daxiong Hall, Looking at the empty courtyard, I thought to myself that I have suffered so much humiliation here, since I am going to join the army in Haozhou, it is better to set fire to burn the monastery to ashes and burn all those bald donkeys to death, so that I can express my anger. This is the temple of the Buddha, and it was those bald donkeys who harmed me. It has nothing to do with the Buddha. Naturally, we can’t set fire to the temple. I hope the Buddha will bless me and help me reach Haozhou safely. The bald donkey, who does all kinds of evil, finds another eminent monk to serve the Buddha in Huangjue Temple, in order to thank the Buddha for his great kindness and virtue in pointing the maze.

"After Emperor Taizu left Huangjue Temple, he went straight to Haozhou, found Tanghe from his hometown, and joined Guo Zixing's command. Later, his old friend Xu Da and others also came to Haozhou to meet Emperor Taizu. Emperor Taizu Lead these heroes to go through hardships and finally achieve a great cause."

When Murong Danyan said this, he took a look at Mao Shusheng, and then said: "Emperor Taizu achieved great success, relying on Xu Da, Liu Bowen, Chang Yuchun and other civil servants and generals, but I have never heard of the White Lotus Sect. Mao Zhuang The Lord claimed that most of the rebels were members of the White Lotus Cult, and we have never heard of this in the Central Plains, so I am afraid that what the Lord Mao said just now is a bit incomplete and untrue?"

Listening to Murong Danyan's words, Li Qiufeng thought to himself that it was not credible that Emperor Taizu received Tang He's letter in Huangjue Temple, but it was true that he used divination to determine his future.Emperor Taizu once wrote on the stele of the imperial mausoleum that he lived in the temple for three years, and the male jumped the beam.At the beginning, Ru and Ying, and then to the South Chamber of Fengyang.Soon after falling into the city, the city god was deep and high, and he refused to defend, and his orders were clear.Persuaded by friends, the cloud and the decline are both worrying and frightening, and there is no way to discuss them in detail.There is an enlightened person next to him, and he wants to make a sound.At this time, the persecution is endless, try to discuss it with a knowledgeable person, and you will tell him, if you tie your arms and wait for the crime, you will also fight to kill each other?The knower draws up plans for me, and silently prays for the shadow.Just like what he said, how detailed is it to go to the divination and keep it, the god is dark and vicious, and his spirit is gloomy and gloomy.This passage describes the situation when Emperor Taizu encountered a difficult situation in Huangjue Temple and was unable to make a decision. The last few sentences are about his use of divination to determine his whereabouts.As the so-called auspicious people have their own appearance, if Emperor Taizu did not go to Haozhou, but fled far away, he would probably die in the chaos.If he stayed in Huangjue Temple and resigned himself to fate, those evil monks would report to the government, and Emperor Taizu would die.And he believed the divination, and joining Guo Zixing's army was an act of putting him to death and reviving him. In the end, he not only escaped his life, but also accomplished a great thing. This is God's will, beyond human power!
