Destiny Only Han

Chapter 876 Liu Ying: Master, I have realized...

Taishan County.

As the name suggests, Taishan County is named after Mount Tai in its jurisdiction.

This is a county directly under the central government of Han Ting, which was cut from Jibei County of Qi State and Xue County of Lu State. It has 240 counties under its jurisdiction and has a population of nearly [-] million.

Before dawn, the doors of the villages scattered outside the city were wide open, and sleepy farmers came out with hoes on their shoulders.

Summer is hot, and it is impossible to work at sunrise like other seasons.

After all, there is no shelter in the farmland, the sun is shining brightly, and the work is manual work, so people are prone to heat stroke.

So I went to work in the field before dawn, and after the sun rose, I found a shady place to rest and chat, and I made some wooden barrels, bamboo baskets and other gadgets to sell in the market, and waited until evening When it is not so hot, I will continue to work in the field until I can't see it at all.

This is a day for an ordinary farmer, working hard but not earning much money.

Now that there is a drought, although the government has allocated funds for repairing and digging irrigation canals, it has not been distributed to these ordinary farmers. After all, the work efficiency of a steam excavator is equivalent to a hundred of the strongest men!
The important thing is that the current Han country has not yet reached the point of using work for relief, so naturally there is no need to recruit a large number of farmers to replace machinery with manual labor to maintain stability.

Therefore, these farmers who walk out of the house with hoes are not going to work on the construction site, but weeding.

Planting beans under the South Mountain, the grass is full of bean sprouts.

Although the main reason for this situation is that Mr. Wuliu doesn't know how to farm, it also shows that there are really many weeds in the farmland...

Drought, hot, the wheat is wilted by the sun, but the weeds are growing vigorously, looking like a thriving...

Who can bear this?

Therefore, the method of weeding the wheat field is not to flood the weeds with water as in the paddy field, but to dig the weeds out of the ground with a hoe, and wait until the sun rises, directly using the hot sun to kill the weeds !
From morning to night, day in and day out, but it can't stop the weeds everywhere in the farmland.

This is the struggle between man and nature in the era without herbicides.

Day after day, year after year, endlessly.

But now, according to the notice issued by the government, they not only have to fight against the heat, drought, and weeds, but also prevent a kind of small insect from swarming to snatch the fruits of their labor!

locust!

So after the middle-aged man walked out of the Lifang and rushed to the farmland, the old man who stayed behind slowly walked out of the Limen, carrying fruits and vegetables to the shrine on the other side of the village.

In the middle of the shrine, there is a wooden painted statue as tall as a person.

It was an old woman dressed in black, with deep eye sockets and wrinkled face, but she had eight hands, pointed teeth, sharp mouth, and gloomy eyes, making her look particularly terrifying.

This is the image of the Locust God in the hearts of the people in Taishan County.

And those old people who came from all over the world with melons, fruits and vegetables were just to worship the locust god, so as to avoid the locust plague that the court said.

In the middle of the crowd, a sorceress wearing clothes made of colorful cloth strips is dancing hard to the big god.

She said something vaguely, shaking the bell in her hand, and the disciples around her beat the bells and drums in their hands vigorously, echoing in unison.

"The sun is setting and the sky is dark. Every household locks the door... lock the door!"

"On the road, the gentleman runs to the inn, the bird runs to the forest, the tiger returns to the mountain... the tiger returns to the mountain!"

"Seven-star glazed tiles on top of the head, octagonal purple-gold bricks on the feet... purple-gold bricks!"

……

"The sky is lingling, the earth is lingling, locusts, locusts, go away... go away!"

For a while, the sound of bells, chanting, bells and drums was superimposed together, and there was smoke, which made the whole ceremony of dancing to the great god look quite mysterious.

But soon, a lama came from the south...

Well, a group of monks came.

The leaders were a bald young man with six scars permed on his head and a bald boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, followed by a dozen or so men in monk's attire.

One of the teams is monks who are serious, and the other team is the staff sent to the temple by the Dushi Division. Although they are dressed as monks, they can marry wives and have children, eat meat and drink alcohol, just like those in more than [-]% of the temples in later generations. The master who helps people solve the lottery at the gate of the monk temple...

"Amitabha……"

"The cause of this is the fruit of the previous life..."

"Cause and effect are the backbone of the law. If people don't know the cause and effect, or conceal the cause and effect, they are all violations of the law..."

"The benefactors are trying to end the cause and effect here by doing things. It's a sign..."

"...Why don't you take refuge in my Buddha and pay homage to the Three Jewels..."

Amidst the chatter of the monks, the sorceress of the great dancer quit.

This is stealing business!
But if you fight directly, not to mention that you can't beat it, and you will be inferior, and it is easy for people to see through the authenticity.

After all, the sorceress invites the upper body of the god at this moment, and she must maintain the force of the god!

So she wandered around the field, chanting words, quietly taking a sip of strong wine from time to time, breathing out flames, and billowing thick smoke.

"Beat the drums and beat the gongs, first invite Hu Jiabing... Hu Jiabing!"

"Old Mrs. Hu is sitting on top, and Mrs. Hu is with...accompanied!"

"Old Mrs. Hu gave the order, the soldiers of the Hu family go to battle... all go to battle!"

"The soldiers of the Hu family have been invited, and then the soldiers of the Huang family will be invited... Huang's soldiers!"

……

It's just that when the sorceress invited a bunch of gods triumphantly and frightened the onlookers to be stunned for a while, the young man with the ring scar on his head raised the Zen stick in his hand and slammed the sorceress to the ground.

"In the past, Confucius punished Shao Zhengmao, and Buddhism also had Fudo Ming Wang..."

"Call me!"

Thus, the fight turned into a fight.

All of a sudden, the local sorceress was defeated and ran away with her head in her arms, looking extremely embarrassed.

After all, these powerful monks came prepared. Although they did not carry two sabers on their backs like Wu Song did, the eyebrow sticks in their hands pointed eastward and westward, and not only beat all the gods all over the ground. Looking for teeth, even the onlookers were stunned for a moment and applauded vigorously.

"color!"

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, they would more or less show money to a few...

Well, incense money.

The reason is very simple. The sorceress asked the great immortal to take her upper body, but she still lost to the sticks of the monks. This shows that the monks have deeper morality and will definitely be able to disperse the plague of locusts!

This is how pragmatists believe.

Believe in everything, but believe in nothing...

However, in the crowd, a man in his thirties, with tear moles under his eyes, and dressed as a Confucian scholar murmured.

"The country will lose its way, but God first sends out disasters to condemn it. It doesn't know self-examination, and then sends out weirdness to warn and fear it. It hasn't changed yet, and it hurts and defeats..."

"Through this, I can see the benevolence and love of the heart of heaven, and I want to stop the chaos..."

"Could it be that the plague of locusts is due to today's failure to cultivate benevolent government, resorting to military tactics, and even arousing the wrath of the heavens..."

Before he could finish speaking, the people around suddenly ran away to the distance.

Although these peasants from far and wide villages don't know much about Chinese characters, Chinese is their mother tongue after all. Even if the Confucian scholar is speaking in a very polite manner, they can still guess what the other party is saying!
Immortal today?

Is this boring?

Don't splash blood on their faces!
When the commotion started to spread among the crowd, even the monks who were beating up the sorceress were stunned, especially the young man who forced the sorceress to introduce himself to a long-legged and big-breasted Hu Daxian, who turned his head and changed his voice. He roared loudly: "Criticize the emperor's cousin? Don't let him run away!"

Well, this person is Mrs. Fan.

And next to Mrs. Fan, Lu Tai, who was also dressed as a monk, hurriedly directed the strong man behind him who was named a monk, but was actually the guard of the Hou Mansion, to rush over.

Seeing this, the Confucian scholar ran away, his movements were exceptionally strong, and he didn't have the appearance of the later generations of scholars who are like Miss Jiao who have no strength to restrain a chicken...

After all, the Confucianism of this era focuses on a Confucius with a sword at his waist, capable of writing and martial arts!
After a while, a group of monks ran back panting: "Report to the Lord, I didn't catch him, let him run away..."

Lu Tai was full of helplessness: "Trash, I will punish you not to drink or eat meat for three days!"

But Mrs. Fan said gloomyly: "Don't worry, he can't escape!"

Lu Tai looked sideways and asked, "Why?"

Mrs. Fan said with a gloomy face: "Although Qilu is the ancestral home of Confucianism, Confucianism is rare. This guy has been here all the way, and there are countless people who have seen him. That guy has fled all the way, and he has seen him." His people are countless."

"So, you and I just need to find someone to draw the picture of that guy, and then hand it over to Qu Nihou (Chen Ping)!"

Lu Tai scratched his head: "Qu Nihou accompanied you on Mount Tai, how can you and I go with this dress?"

Fan Kang was stunned: "Yes...it's all your fault!"

He originally ate and drank well at home, but met Lu Tai who came to visit, and was successfully preached by the other party, shaved his head, and joined the new Buddhism...

The so-called new Buddhism is to distinguish the Buddhism that came from body poisoning.

To put it simply, the new Buddhism has no taboos, eating meat, drinking, marrying wives and having children. The only difference from ordinary people is that they have shaved their heads, but they claim that they are not bound by the world, and they want to be a Buddhist who is not defined by the world...

I want, I want, and I want it, it’s true that I won’t...

Therefore, Lu Tai naturally expressed his dissatisfaction with Mrs. Fan's behavior of dumping the pot, and the way to express dissatisfaction among men, especially brothers, is undoubtedly to beat him up!
As a result, the onlookers who have not dispersed, after witnessing the religious struggle, witnessed the religious division...

Amidst the clamor, many old people's eyes were attracted by the eerie statue of the Locust God, and they couldn't help shivering.

The locust god has boundless mana!
Neither the Great Immortal nor the monk defeated the Locust God. Instead, under the power of the Locust God, they fled in haste or fought internally!

Locusts, you must never catch them again!
After all, the locusts are the descendants of the locust god, and killing the descendants of the locust god will inevitably make the locust god furious. When the locusts come all over the sky, not only the food will be devoured by the locusts, even they will hardly survive!
Therefore, the three old fellows who had participated in the Xihai military parade looked at each other and thought the same thing in their hearts.

They are going to face the saint!
....................................

At the foot of Mount Tai, Chengtian Palace.

This is a palace built by Liu Ying in imitation of the Temple of Heaven in later generations, with a gold-plated top, a round hall, symbolizing the round sky, and blue tiles, symbolizing the blue sky.

Today is one day away from the Fengchan Grand Ceremony and the Summer Welcome Ceremony.

Therefore, Liu Ying moved away from the Taishan Palace and lived in this Chengtian Palace specially built for sacrifices.

After all, before offering sacrifices, he needs to stay away from women, fast and bathe, and refrain from eating meat.

"Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadows will form three people..."

Liu Ying groaned.

Next to him, Wu Xinhou Liu Xin, the governor of the Nichinan Governor's Mansion, said with a smile: "After a long time, the third brother's literary talent is indeed the best in the world. Doubt, does it not exist?"

Zhang Buyi looked suspicious.

Now he can see that many of Liu Yingnian's poems were not improvised, most of them were written in private long ago, and then kept secret, waiting to be a blockbuster when there are many people, and amaze everyone!

What kind of mentality... Zhang Buyi curled his lips in disdain, but his heart was sour with jealousy.

Liu Ying smiled and didn't answer, but asked, "Do you know Buddhism?"

Liu Xin froze for a moment, then nodded: "I know, it's those bald donkeys who say you are the reincarnation of that Buddha..."

Liu Ying smiled, sighed and said: "The monks have many words to deceive foolish men and women, but there are also many merits in them, which are worth emulating."

Liu Xin was full of curiosity: "Where? Let's hear it."

After all, his Nichinan Metropolitan Government mainly develops the mining industry and planting industry. These jobs are hard and do not make much money. The practitioners are either freemen who signed a 99-year labor contract in order to avoid the imperial decree, or they are from overseas domains. Landless tenant farmers who migrated from the country.

Therefore, it took only two years for Buddhism, a religion that persuades people to practice the afterlife, to blossom everywhere in the Nichinan Governor's Mansion, and the entire Nichinan Governor's Mansion has become a Buddhist country!
Of course, the [-]th tax still has to be paid.

Therefore, Liu Xin actually knew a lot about Buddhism.

Liu Ying met Liu Xin with eyes half seeking knowledge and half sarcasm, and said seriously:
"It is said that there is a sage in the Buddhist family who donated his body and appeared in the form of pink, and had sex with a lost person. When the copulation was joyful, he appeared as a skeleton and took the pink skeleton. After the joy, it means the meaning of great silence. I beg those who are lost and lost, and don't let them sink into flesh and blood..."

"Brother, you might as well think about it."

Zhang Buyi nodded secretly.

He is only seven or eight years younger than Liu Xin. Now he is four and Liu Xin is five, but the crux of the problem is that he still looks like a man in his 20s, but Liu Xin is full of hair. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is related to Liu Jiao and Liu Jia Tonggeng!
And this is the price he paid for having nearly two hundred children!
Liu Xin was silent for a long time, and sighed: "People live for the rest of their lives, just have fun. One day of happiness is one day. Why give up the pleasure in front of you for the sake of long life and long life? A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, maybe she will become a skeleton, but before that, Let’s enjoy life to the fullest..."

Liu Ying gave a thumbs up: "Open-minded."

Shit!He was just lost and unable to return... Zhang Buyi rolled his eyes invisibly.

Liu Xin shook his head: "What is open-mindedness? In the words of the monks, isn't this a kind of obsession? I know but don't know the way, so why isn't it the most painful thing? Forget it, drink..."

"Well, you can't drink, you will be the officiant tomorrow..."
