Chapter 227 Tianlong Babu, Cui Shiniang's true identity
"What are you betting on? Paijiu and Sezi again? Is the dignified contemporary head of Qianjitang only knows these two things?"
"No, it's not Paijiu and Sezi, I want to bet on the world with you!"
"The world? Bet on the world with me?" Wang Li sneered and looked at Cui Shiniang sarcastically, "The world is the world of my great man's people, not the world of you and me. Why should you, a Hu girl, bet on the world of my great man and my general?"
Cui Shiniang sighed: "General Wang, I know that you have some misunderstandings about Tang Zhou and me in the Taiping Dao..."
"You are a beauty, how can you be a thief! In your eyes, the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people are just bargaining chips for the world. Do you think this is a misunderstanding?" Before Cui Shiniang finished speaking, Wang Li had already interrupted her topic.
Cui Shiniang shook her head helplessly, got up and turned to the bed curtain, took out a pair of wine utensils and a small red mud stove and placed it in front of the two of them, poured a pot of wine and put it on the small stove, and bowed to Wang Li: "General Wang, this matter involves the origin of my junior sister and I. It's a long story. Can you tolerate it for a while? Listen to Cui's words first.
If you still don’t want to cooperate with Cui after listening, or if you bet on a bet, Cui will never force you. Even if you want to kill and cut, as long as you draw the trail, Cui will be with you!"
Wang Li had already learned a little about Cui Shiniang and Zhi'er's life experience from Ling'er and Xia Yu. But now the parties involved want to retell it, and Wang Li naturally welcomed it. Perhaps many of the doubts, such as Your Highness, Tang Zhou, etc., could be easily solved.
Wang Li held the wine glass in his hand and looked like a torch: "I hope you don't lie to me!"
"General Wang is relieved, and he has known the truth that he treats others with sincerity and treats them with sincerity for them more than ten years ago."
"It's good to know!"
Cui Shiniang took the wine glass from Wang Li's hand, poured the wine from the kettle and slowly poured it into the wine glass along the wall, and handed it to Wang Li, "This wine is my famous wine in the Western Regions, called Beauty Drunk. It is sweet and fragrant when you enter the throat, and the fragrance is endless. It is like a beauty that needs to be tasted carefully by the general."
"The taste is deep and it is indeed a good wine! Unfortunately, you can taste the wine slowly, but if it weren't for Miss Cui's story, the mellow fragrance of this wine would probably have been a few less taste!" Wang Li shook his glass and took a sip of the green hops floating on his face.
Cui Shiniang gave Wang Li a blank look, drank the wine in her hand, and asked Wang Li: "Have General Wang ever heard of Zhu Fufeng?"
"Zhu Fufeng, the founder of Qianjitang, was able to disguise himself as a person who was hiding forty-nine days and then took the head of the 'Yijian Lingyun'. How coquettish and fascinating? Why haven't I heard of it?" Wang Li nodded and looked at Cui Shiniang, "I heard that he is Ling's ancestor?"
Cui Shiniang shook her head and explained, "No, I'm not. After I got separated from my junior sister, I walked all over the green mountains and sand, and I found her for several years without any news. It was not until the last time I accidentally met Zhi'er in Jizhou that I realized that she was my junior sister.
In order to hide the whereabouts of my junior sister, I did not tell the truth to Chang'er, Ling'er and the others. In fact, the junior sister is the real descendant of my ancestors. She is the youngest daughter of my master Zhu Tiannan, whose original name is Zhu Yiqiu.
Back then, my Buddhism first had a dispute over the doctrine, and no one could convince anyone. So the Mahayana teaching was separated from the Hinayana teaching and became today's "Leaf of Liberation" and "Bodhi". Some of my Mahayana teachings chose to preach to the East Land.
Zhu Fufeng, the ancestor of that year, was one of them. My ancestor was just one who followed his ancestors south back then."
It turns out that Zhu Fufeng was actually a pioneer of Mahayana Buddhism!
Wang Li thought in his heart but did not interrupt. He heard Cui Shiniang continue: "The Hinayana Buddhism advocates escape from reincarnation through self-cultivation, with a relatively simple purpose and pursuit of personal liberation. However, the Mahayana Buddhism believes that the so-called practice should not be to just practice one's own actions, to understand one's own liberation, but to achieve Bodhi,
Help everyone in the world to obtain liberation.
To make an analogy, the Hinayana teaching is like a small boat on the river. There can only be a few people on the boat. Once there are too many people, they will either capsize or they will not reach the other side. Moreover, there is only one pier to dock on the other side of the Hinayana teaching, that is, the Buddha's master, "Sakya Muni Buddha".
But my Mahayana Buddhism is a large warship, which can carry thousands of believers on it. In addition to the marinas on the other side, there are many ferries. The ‘Buddha’ and ‘Bodhisattva’ are our ferries and ferries. As long as everyone works hard, they can reach the other side!"
Wang Li poured a glass of wine and handed it to Cui Shiniang. Cui Shiniang moistened her throat and continued, "When she went to Dongtu to preach the scriptures, she mainly focused on Hinayana Buddhism. My ancestors and ancestors were born in the Heavenly Territory, and were compassionate all their lives and took it as their responsibility to promote the Mahayana teachings. That's why they chose to settle in Yuzhou and planned to promote Buddhism among the common people with the "Bodhi Path".
"Tianmen?" Wang Li looked at Cui Shiniang in surprise.
Cui Shiniang nodded and continued, "In my Buddhism, there are many disciples who believe in religion, like the sand of the Ganges. Therefore, it is divided into six major departments: Buddha, Bodhisattva, Divine Division, Heavenly Division, Residents Division and Arhat Division. There are eight tribes in the Heavenly Division, among which our Heavenly Division and Dragon Division are headed, collectively known as the Eight Tribes of the Heavenly Division!"
The Eight Tribes of the Heavenly Dragons?
Wang Li was shocked and almost stood up. Isn’t this a novel by Jin Yong? Could it be that there are Qiao Feng, Duan Yu, Xu Zhu and Wang Yuyan?
"Do you know the Eight Tribes of the Heavenly Dragons?" Cui Shiniang looked at Wang Li in surprise, saw him shook his head and sat down awkwardly, and then said, "Eight Tribes of the Heavenly Dragons are my Buddhist guardian gods, including: Tian, Long, Yasha, Gandapo, Asura, Garura, Kinnara and Mahouluga.
The heavenly tribes have twenty heavens, Great Brahma, Indra and Great Zizai Heaven. Among these heavens, there are four heavenly kings, namely: the king of the king of the kingdom of the East, the king of the Growth Kingdom in the south, the king of the Growth Kingdom in the west, the king of the Guangmu king of the West, and the king of the Dowen king of the North, the king of the Dowen king of the North."
Hearing this, Wang Li was suddenly shocked and suddenly remembered the statue of Visar King Visar King Zhao Ye discovered in the Tang Record that day and the 'Your Highness' mentioned by Jin Peng and others. He hesitantly looked at Cui Shiniang: "Are you Visar King Visar King from the North?"
"How do you know?" Cui Shiniang was also shocked and pointed at Wang Li and said, "It seems that General Wang has also been to me, where is Tang Ji?"
Seeing Wang Li's face with a capital "embarrassment", Cui Shiniang covered her mouth and smiled: "Cui is the contemporary Viashaman, and her junior sister is the contemporary Indra. Back then, my ancestors of Viashaman and the Tianshi tribes entered the pass with the Indra Tianzhu of that generation. Now the only descendants of the Tianshi tribe are left, I and the younger sister."
"What about Tang Zhou and Yanda?"
"Tang Zhou was originally named Luo, and it was the Asura King of my sect. He was ugly, irritable, paranoid, and very murderous. He was responsible for fighting in my sect. Yandafu was a Gandapo. He usually didn't like wine and meat, and only sought fragrance as a nourishment. Therefore, he had a strange fragrance and was the God of Heaven in my sect. Their ancestors were also the predecessors of the sect who followed Indratian to enter the pass."
Wang Li nodded and finally got a little understanding of Cui Shiniang and Zhi'er's life experience, but there was still a big stone in his heart.
Tang Zhou, En? Luo has a deep relationship with Taiping Dao. When he recruited believers for Taiping Dao, he poisoned tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of victims with his own strength. If this matter was instructed by Cui Shiniang, then wouldn’t the person in front of him be like a peach blossom and a heart like a snake or a scorpion?
Cui Shiniang seemed to know what Wang Li was thinking, poured a glass of wine for Wang Li and recalled: "Thirteen years ago, my master Zhu Tiannan was killed by Wang Duan, and the whole family was destroyed except for the junior sister. At that time, I accompanied my junior sister to play in the woods, Yandafu and others preached outside, and Luo was still learning medical skills from Hua Tuo, so we all escaped this disaster.
After the master died, I found Yandafu and Luo and reported the case to the local yamen. Unfortunately, the Han Dynasty had declined at this time, and most of the local officials and yamen officials had become borers in the world.
The yamen has a good horoscope, so don’t come in if you have any reason or not. At that time, we followed the teachings of our master, focused on Buddha and were compassionate, so where did we get money to those yamen officials and dog officials? In addition, I was still young at that time, so officials were even more likely to make a big fuss because of the words of a ten-year-old child.”
"What happened later?"
Cui Shiniang picked up the wine glass and drank it, relieved her emotions slightly, and smiled bitterly: "Where is there any future? When it was dark the next day, a jailer in the yamen finally took our paper under the instruction of the thief Cao.
We were very excited and thought that revenge was just around the corner. Unfortunately, after waiting for another three or five days, we still did not wait for my Qianjitang to file a case, but instead waited for the news that the arrester and the thief Cao Zheng behind him were killed.
So, Luo Binqian, the arrester and the thief Cao, looked through the clues in his hands, and found that our enemy's surname was Wang Duan. The reason why this case was suppressed in Yuzhou and that the thief Cao, who was planning to help us, died was because of another person!"
"who?"
"Kunlun!"
"Who is Kunlun?"
Cui Shiniang shook her head, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes: "Luo, Yandafu and others have been searching for about a month, but they have not found who this person is. Even now, we don't know who this person is. The only thing we know is that this person is an important official in the court and is deeply involved in Taipingdao!"
"So, Luo Cai changed his name to Tang Ke and joined Taiping Road to find Kunlun?"
"That's true! But he used the name of Tang Ke when he was studying medical skills."
Wang Li raised his eyebrows: "Miss Cui, I am also empathizing with the general you said, but what I do not understand is that since you have the Dharma in your own body, why did he poison the victims? Is this the Dharma he passed on?"
Cui Shiniang looked at Wang Li bitterly and shook her head: "After the master died, my junior sister was lost again, and I was the only one left in the Heavenly Territory. In order to avenge the master, we left Buddhism and established the Via Sect, which aims to avenge the blood hatred of the master.
Therefore, Yandafu went outside the pass to seek assistance. I stayed in the capital to inquire about the officials in the court, and Luo became an important backbone in Taipingdao. However, what I didn't expect was that Luo was so paranoid and had such a strong murderous intention. He even hated the entire Han Dynasty and Taipingdao together!"
I see!
Wang Li was stunned, and many questions that he had not understood before suddenly became clear.
For example, during the Red Maple Ferry Case, the fortune of those weapons could clearly be secretly spread to Chen Cang, why did Tang Zhou leave so many flaws? For example, why did Tang Zhou betray Taiping Road and then pretend to die and sneak back to the Central Plains?
"Hmph, just one word of paranoidness, and the murderous intention is too serious. Can it make up for the countless killings that Luo made in the Central Plains?" Wang Li snorted coldly, but Cui Shiniang had already raised the wine glass and said to the distance: "So, Cui wants to make a bet with the general, so the general is willing!"
"What bet?"
"If the general can rule the world in the future, Cui hopes that the general can help me find the enemy of that year. Cui not only personally handed over the junior sister to the general, but Cui, Luo and Yandafu are also willing to let the general deal with it!"
"What if Wang didn't win the world in the next day?"
"It's okay, as long as the general is willing, Cui will still act according to today's gambling!"
"Also, what can I do if the incident of the poisoning of the young man from Hongfeng Du and the Tang Zhou Jinzhai escaped from the Luoyang Tianzhuo that day?"
"All knowledge is said and done. After you and I have joined forces, Cui will definitely tell you all!"
"Okay! Since this bet is sure to make a profit, Wang will follow it!" Wang Li shouted loudly and held his hands tightly together.
