The heavens start from Maoshan

Chapter 416: Promoting Confucianism and Martial Arts, Destroying Buddhism and Taoism

"Master, there is no rice in the house."

"No more? Didn't I just bring back half a bag of rice a few days ago?"

"That was all seven or eight days ago. Let's talk about the small bag, it can weigh six or seven catties. There are five people in our family. Six or seven catties of rice, seven or eight days, if I didn't mix it with my life." Wild vegetables and elm leaves may not last for two days."

"Okay, okay, I'm thinking of a way."

in the dark.

Zhang Heng barely opened his eyes.

into the eye.

I lay on the kang by myself, and the sky was bright.

Look around.

A girl sleeps on the left, and a snoring teenager on the right.

Take another look at yourself.

He was lying between the two of them, with small arms and legs, and looked about seven or eight years old.

"Head of the family, can you think of a way to borrow some food from Wangmiao Zhu's family?"

"I heard from Carpenter Lu in the east of the village that Wangmiaozhu's family has so much food that it can hardly hold it. If you can borrow it, it would be nice to give two cents more interest."

When talking in fine detail.

Came from the next room.

Zhang Heng closed his eyes, searching the memory of his predecessor.

The predecessor was also called Zhang Heng.

eight years old.

Born in Huwang Town, Shanxia Village.

Talking next door are the parents of the predecessor.

The two are tenant farmers of Zhu's family in the Temple of the Tiger King.

And the two people lying next to him, one is his second brother and the other is his third sister.

speak up.

There is a big brother above them.

Big Brother is very angry.

Two years ago, I said I was going to go out for a while, but since then I have never returned, and there is no news.

down.

The second brother is idle.

It stands to reason that this year is not too young, [-] or [-], but no matter what you do, you will complain.

At the end of last year, the town's blacksmith shop recruited apprentices, and I wanted him to try it.

In the end, I came back in two days, saying that I couldn't bear the hardship.

Third sister is fine.

Zhang Heng looked at the girl's face.

In the memory of the previous life, the third sister had a childhood sweetheart in the village, named Brother Zhu.

The Zhu family is a self-cultivator with land, and their life is much easier than theirs.

The two were childhood sweethearts, and the second brother Zhu often secretly delivered food to the third sister.

Although they were not good things, they were pancakes, rice cakes and the like, but Third Sister secretly fed him often, for fear that he would starve to death.

anyway.

Without these pancakes and rice cakes, the predecessor would have starved to death long ago.

Why do you say that.

Zhang Heng rubbed his stomach.

My predecessor was eight or nine years old, when I was growing up, I was always hungry.

The broken house happens to rain all night.

There was a plague of locusts last year and the crops were in short supply.

After handing over the food to Miaozhu's family, there was no need to chew it.

These days.

The family has long been unable to uncover the pot.

The old couple looked for excuses, mixed wild vegetable dumplings and elm leaves in the meal, and managed to get by.

If he guessed correctly.

The reason why he was able to descend from the spirit was because his predecessor starved to death at night.

If he doesn't come.

Waking up in the morning, what the whole family saw was a cold corpse.

"I want to see my sister get married."

Search for Xiao Zhangheng's memory.

Zhang Heng found that he was thinking about it, and what he was most worried about was this sister who was the best to him.

Aware of this.

Zhang Heng sighed, half relieved, half promising, thinking: "I am you, and you are also me, I will not treat her badly."

Ideas together.

My heart instantly relaxes.

But Zhang Heng couldn't laugh.

Because this world is weird.

The temples here do not enshrine immortals and Buddhas, but all kinds of demons.

Buddhism and Taoism were labeled as rebels.

The law stipulates.

Those who help monks and Taoists have fifty sticks, and the whole family can travel three thousand miles.

If there are monks or Taoist priests out of your family.

That would be even worse, directly killing the three clans.

Not to mention being a monk or a Taoist priest, it is not enough to believe in it. If one person believes in it, the whole village is responsible.

To destroy the Buddha, to destroy the Dao.

In contrast, Xing Wu and Xing Confucianism.

The predecessor was too young.

I don't know why the Buddhist and Taoist families should be exterminated.

I only know that the government's propaganda slogan is: one person studies, the whole family is honored, one person practices martial arts, and one village is peaceful.

"There is aura, and the aura is abundant."

"Although it does not meet the standards of the Great Thousand World, it is still higher than the general Middle Thousand World."

"There are two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, but they were expelled. Now the government attaches great importance to Confucianism and martial arts."

"As for the progress of civilization."

"It's similar to the early Song Dynasty after the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It just ended years of fighting and established a unified dynasty."

Think of this.

Zhang Heng looked far away, and then looked at the mountain outside the window.

into the eye.

There is a temple on the top of the mountain.

The predecessor was told that he must never go up the mountain, because the mountain is enshrined on the mountain.

And under Zhang Heng's gaze.

The mountain's demonic aura is soaring to the sky, and the blood is condensed.

Not surprisingly.

The so-called Tiger King Temple, as well as the Tiger Lord, must be a fierce tiger that cannibalize countless people.

But now.

This man-eating tiger lived in the temple grandiosely, and was officially named a mountain god.

This can be seen.

The world is initially settled, the court is not stable, and even has no power to clear up the world's monsters, so it can only focus on appeasement.

"Just weird."

"The imperial court can even appease demons, but it wants to kill Buddhism and Taoism."

"How could this be? Could it be that the government hates Buddhism and Taoism more than these monsters?"

"Or, the demon is also from the imperial court, and like the Confucian and Martial Arts, they have made great efforts in the process of setting the world?"

Too little information.

Zhang Heng couldn't figure it out either.

But he knew that there must be a story in it.

Can't say.

When dynasties competed for the throne, Buddhism and Taoism originally appeared as enemies.

A dynasty supported by Confucianism, Taoism, and martial arts.

The dynasty supported by Buddhism and Taoism was wiped out.

Therefore, after the world is unified, the Buddhism and Taoism will be exterminated.

"Little brother, are you hungry?"

was thinking.

Voices came from behind.

Zhang Heng looked back, and it turned out that the third sister had woken up.

speak up.

Zhang Sanjie is also 14 years old.

However, due to the long-term adverse effects, her hair was withered and yellow, and her flesh and blood were like sticks. She looked younger than her peers, just a girl who didn't grow up.

"Today, I'm going to pick wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain with Second Brother Zhu. If you're hungry, I've hidden a few wild dates. I'll fill you up first."

Third Sister Zhang has no name.

Even before Zhang Heng was born, she only had the name San.

With Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng can speak, Third Sister, Third Sister shouted.

So she has a name, Zhang Sanjie.

"Thank you, Third Sister, I'm not hungry yet."

Zhang Heng smiled.

But he was not his predecessor after all, as soon as he opened his mouth, Third Sister Zhang froze for a moment.

Because Xiao Zhang Heng wakes up every day and sees her first sentence is: "Third sister, I'm hungry."

And a child from a tenant farmer's family, how could he have such politeness.

Third Sister Zhang was at a loss.

Touching and hugging Xiao Zhang Heng, because there was no food for him, he was scratched by the nails on his arm, and subconsciously murmured: "How can you not be hungry?"

Yes.

There are five people in my family and everyone is hungry.

They didn't have enough to eat at all, and Third Sister Zhang couldn't remember when was the last time they were full.

It's just that Zhang Heng is different.

He had just descended from the spirit, nourished himself with the power of the immortal soul, but his sense of hunger was not as strong as that of everyone else.

"Third sister, let me accompany you to pick wild vegetables."

Zhang Heng looked around.

The previous body had already starved to death, and if she did nothing, the third sister might starve to death as well.

He promised his predecessor that he would take care of Third Sister for him.

Just in time, on the way of picking wild vegetables, I went outside to see if there was anything to eat.

"Don't go up the mountain, there are ferocious beasts on the mountain, they will be captured."

Wash your face.

finish dressing.

Zhang Heng followed the third sister, listening to his parents' instructions.

Parents of predecessors.

They are all honest farmers.

Be a tenant farmer for Wang Miao Zhu's family in Tiger King Temple.

Life is difficult, but I have never thought of stealing, rape, and playing tricks. I even borrowed rice from someone, and I kept talking about it before going to bed.

I'm afraid that the two of them can't write, and if they don't talk about it for a few days, they will forget it.

"understood."

The third sister led Zhang Heng with a big bamboo basket on her back.

Go early to pick up wild vegetables.

Because of the severe drought the year before last, spring is just beginning now, and it's not just their family who are having a hard time.

There are many people picking wild vegetables, but there are few wild vegetables. No one will wait for you if you go late.

"Little brother, you have to remember."

"I must, I must not go up the mountain, you know."

Zhang Heng didn't need to carry a bamboo basket.

He followed the third sister, looked at the 14-year-old, 1.3-meter-old, thin and dark little girl walking in front, and said to himself like an adult: "I can't even think about it."

Looking at the third sister holding a small sickle.

In fact, Zhang Heng is very clear that the danger is not only from wild animals, but also from the man-eating tiger.

Otherwise, the mountain people living at the foot of the mountain would not abandon Baoshan, and would not dare to jump half a step into the thunder.

Say The Beast.

No matter how cunning a beast is, it can't beat a hunter.

The reality is that there is no Orion in Shanxia Village.

It's not that the people in the village are stupid and don't know how to rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, but that everything on the mountain belongs to the Tiger King Temple, and hunting is courting death.

"Third sister."

The two walked to the entrance of the village.

In front of him, he saw a young man carrying a bamboo basket, looking around.

He looks about fifteen or sixteen, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a relatively strong body.

This can be seen.

This is a man who can eat well, and the conditions of his family are very good.

"Didn't eat anything."

Seeing the two of Zhang Heng approaching, the young man trotted up to meet him, and took out two pieces of rice cakes from his pocket like a thief: "My mother made them, I stole two pieces, and I kept them for you."

Third Sister Zhang blushed slightly, and stabbed Zhang Heng with her hand: "Quickly call Brother Zhu."

"Brother Zhu."

Zhang Heng looked at the boy happily.

The second brother Zhu and the third sister are childhood sweethearts, knowing that they don't have enough to eat at home, so they often help their siblings on weekdays.

Although from his point of view, the third sister is still a little small.

But in today's environment, there are many people who get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen.

That is to say, the Zhu family disliked the Zhang family's poor, and the third sister was like a hairy girl, her body bones had not grown, otherwise this matter would have been done long ago.

"hey-hey."

Brother Zhu smiled openly, took out a piece of rice cake and handed it to Zhang Heng: "Eat it quickly."

Zhang Heng didn't answer.

Third Sister Zhang is shy, but she also misses his younger brother.

Seeing that Zhang Heng didn't move, he blushed and took two pieces of rice cakes, then gave one to Zhang Heng, and divided his own in two.

After parting.

Half of it for myself, and half for Brother Zhu.

The two looked at each other, did not speak, and ate happily, their eyes were full of each other.

As for Zhang Heng.

Ok.

He is a light bulb.

"I came a little earlier than you."

"I went to the bottom of the mountain and looked. There is a forest of wild vegetables that grow well, and there are mushrooms."

I ate rice cakes.

Brother Zhu volunteered to go ahead: "Follow me, let's go farther today, the wild vegetables nearby are all gone."

Zhang Heng and the two followed behind.

speak up.

Brother Zhu's family has more than ten acres of self-cultivated land, which is enough for the family to eat, but not for picking wild vegetables.

He came here mainly to accompany Third Sister.

When he came out on weekdays, even if he picked wild vegetables, he didn't want them, and asked Third Sister to take them back.

From Zhang Heng's point of view.

Brother Zhu is indeed not outstanding, and he doesn't even know a few characters of Dou Da.

You can ask yourself.

Zhang Heng understood that Second Brother Zhu was indeed a good match for Third Sister.

The peacock flies southeast.

Wandering around five miles.

Looking at the second brother Zhu who was walking ahead and looking back frequently.

Zhang Heng seemed to see the afterglow of the sunset on his face, and asked his girl with a smile, "Zhang Heng, do you like me?"

Humph.

Who is not young.
