Chapter 50 Road Encounters

Originally, when I read the Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty in my previous life, Dugu Feng was very disgusted with Cihang Jingzhai as the leader of the Baidao Martial Arts. Dai Tian’s selection of the Emperor of China was even more curious about the fact that the major forces in the book agreed with this point. No one came out to question Cihang Jingzhai’s qualifications. It was difficult to explain it. It was not until he came to this world and experienced the power of Buddhism in this world that Dugu Feng realized that the current Buddhism does have the qualification to choose the Emperor of China, not because of anything else, but because the largest force today is neither Confucianism nor Taoism, nor aristocraticism, nor aristocraticism, but Buddhism.

Since the introduction of local religion into Middle Earth, Buddhism has not been rejected and suppressed because it did not rise, so it has been developing continuously. This development momentum reached its peak during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Five Barbarians invaded China, wars continued, and the people were displaced. The difficulties of life naturally made ordinary people seek spiritual comfort. However, Buddhism did not practice the doctrine of this life and the next life, and it was exactly in line with the needs of the people, so it developed rapidly. Although it had also experienced setbacks such as the destruction of Buddhism in Wuzhou, overall, the nature of Buddhism was the general trend and was unstoppable. The power of Buddhism even reached its peak at the end of the Northern Dynasties. Emperor Yang Jian of Sui was selected by Cihang Jingzhai.

The first emperor. This is actually not difficult to understand. When the power of religion reaches a certain level, it will naturally try to influence the secular royal power. As long as you think about the Western Holy See, you will have an image understanding of the current power of Buddhism. Of course, although the current Buddhism is powerful, it is still far from the point where the Holy See is dominant in the Western world. Therefore, it can only be said that it is the choice of the emperor on behalf of heaven, rather than the crowning of the emperor by Buddhism. However, today, no matter who wants to sit on the supreme throne, he must obtain the support of Buddhism. This has been recognized by all forces. After understanding this, he will understand the behavior of Cihang Jingzhai in the original work.

Dugu Feng was pondering when he suddenly heard Song Yuzhi say, "It cannot be a Buddhist. Although the evil monk and Yanni claim to be people in Buddhism, no temple has ever claimed to be related to them. I heard from my father that the evil monk and Yanni seem to be from the Yingui Sect. Could it be that Ren Shaoming and the Yingui Sect colluded with each other?"

"Yin Gui Sect?" Song Liang frowned. He was also a person with a status in the Song clan. He was naturally not as ignorant as ordinary people. Yin Gui Sect is the largest sect in the Demon Sect now. Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan is the number one master of the Demon Sect, and his reputation is still above the sect leader Song Que. If Ren Shaoming is really connected with the Yin Gui Sect, it will be a great threat to the Song clan.

Thinking of the Yingui Sect, Dugu Feng couldn't help but think of Wanwan, the most popular beauty in the original Tang Dynasty. She should have practiced the magic skills in an unknown corner! I remember when she appeared, Kou Zhong was seventeen or eighteen years old, so now she will probably have to be three or four years away from her coming out. Dugu Feng in this life is a peerless beauty. Every time she looks in the mirror, Dugu Feng dares to look at her appearance. With a manly heart, she is very afraid of being addicted to her beauty and cannot extricate herself. She pushes others to the point of pushing others. She cannot help but look forward to Wanwan's appearance.

Out of the mentality of causing some trouble for the Yingui Sect, Dugu Feng smiled and shook out a major secret of the Yingui Sect: "Yuzhi, be careful! As far as I know, although Lu Kang of the Baling Gang is Yang Guang's loyal lackey, Xiao Tong, the second leader of the Baling Gang, is a member of the Yingui Sect!"

"What!" Song Liang and Song Yuzhi were shocked at the same time. The news was extraordinary. Song Liang hurriedly asked, "Miss Dugu said true?"

Dugu Feng smiled without saying a word. Song Liang realized his incompetence and hurriedly said, "It was Song who was rude. Please forgive me. It's not that Song doesn't believe the lady, but that the news is too important."

Dugu Feng waved his hand and signaled, and smiled and said, "There is another news. Lin Shihong, the number one master in Jiangnan, is also related to the Yingui Sect. He may even be one of the nine elders of the Yingui Sect."

This time, Song Liang and Song Yuzhi were both dissatisfied. A Baling Gang was not enough to shake the Song family's status in Jiangnan, but it would be different with Lin Shihong. These two news is too important. If these two news is true, I am afraid that many of the Song family's layout in Jiangnan will be greatly adjusted.

Song Yuzhi was also quite decisive. After thinking for a moment, he believed Dugu Feng's words. With her understanding of Dugu Feng, he knew that she was not the kind of person who lied. Therefore, he said to Song Liang decisively: "I believe in Sister Dugu's words. This matter is too important. Uncle Liang, please send a message to my father immediately and ask him to send Uncle Zhi to preside over the presidency!" After knowing such a lot of information, the current situation is obviously beyond the control of Song Yuzhi, so Song Yuzhi decided to ask Song Zhi to come and preside over the overall situation.

Song Liang agreed with Song Yuzhi's decision and hurried out to send a message to Song Que.

Since we already knew that the Iron Cavalry Association was likely to join forces with the Yingui Sect, with the help of the Song family Jiujiang, it was no longer suitable to fight with the Iron Cavalry Association. Therefore, the original plan to continue to sweep the other strongholds of the Iron Cavalry Association had to be suspended. After waiting for more than ten days, there was still no news about Ren Shaoming. In addition, the Song family's previous investigation of the robbery of the goods was about to arrive, Dugu Feng no longer needed to stay in Jiujiang City. Dugu Feng, who was eager to find Sun Simiao, did not want to wait any longer, so he set off for Huangmei County. However, in order to keep Song Yuzhi in Jiujiang, if the Iron Cavalry attacked him, Dugu Feng took Song Yuzhi to Huangmei County.

Huangmei County is only a hundred miles northwest of Jiujiang. With the footsteps of everyone, it only takes one day to get there. Huangmei is located at the southern edge of the Dabie Mountains, the junction of Hubei, Anhui and Jiangxi, and the Golden Waterway of the Yangtze River in the south. It is a key crossing in all directions. It has been known as the "bridge of seven provinces" and the "gateway of Hubei" since ancient times. The terrain is high in the north and low in the south, with mountains, hills and plains. The lake area is half each, and it is inclined in three steps. It originates from the ancient junctions, longpings, streams, and Kaotian Sihe Rivers, which flow from north to south to south, and Taibai Erhu Lake, with beautiful scenery and superior geographical location.

Not far from Huangmei County is Shuangfeng Mountain. Shuangfeng Mountain is located at the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains. Its mountain is surrounded by strange peaks, with strange rocks, lush trees, fragrant flowers and birds singing, green waters, beautiful scenery, and was known as the "Immortal Source" in ancient times. Shuangfeng Mountain is the place where Master Daoxin, the fourth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, so this Huangmei County belongs to the sphere of influence of Buddhism, and all major organizations will avoid this place intentionally or unintentionally. Therefore, there is no danger of thieves here, and the people are very simple.

According to the information explored, Sun Simiao traveled here from Bashu a year ago and has been practicing medicine in Huangmei County. Because of his excellent medical skills and free treatment for poor families, he is very famous here. After a little inquiry, he will know where he lives in seclusion.

It was mid-July, and it was the hot summer. Everyone walked under the scorching sun for half a day. Even if they had martial arts, they felt a little thirsty. While they were walking, they suddenly saw the green mountains in front of them, saying they were small hills, but in fact they were common hills in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River. The trees on the ridge were lush and hundreds of apricot trees grew. There were a short wall made of yellow mud in the woods at the foot of the mountain. The walls were covered with rice stems. There were several thatched huts inside. A large tree was carrying a wine guitar high.

Song Yuzhi was very happy when he saw the wine guitar and said to Dugu Feng: "Sister, we have been leaving for so half a day and are thirsty. Why not go and drink some water!"

Seeing that the environment here is beautiful and elegant, Dugufeng was also interested in taking a break. He said, "Let's go! Let's go to the restaurant in front to take a break."

When I walked up to the front, I found that this was a big village, with about fifty or sixty families. Outside the village, there were mulberry, elm, hibiscus, and various tree species, with lush branches and leaves, swaying in the wind. The yards of the village were made of local materials and two green fences woven with mulberry branches. Below the hillside outside the fence, there was a earth well, next to it. There were orange pulleys. The lower part was divided into acres of vegetation, with beautiful vegetables and flowers, endless, and a leisurely and comfortable pastoral scenery.

There is a two-story bamboo building at the entrance of the village, which is green all over the place, but it is a unique restaurant built with bamboo. At this time, many merchants from all over the country were resting there.

Dugu Feng liked this restaurant full of farm style very much and smiled, "I didn't expect that there was such an elegant place in the mountains and fields. Let's have a drink!"

The waiter saw a group of people coming, each riding a tall horse, dressed in luxurious clothes, carrying swords and swords. It was obviously not a simple figure in the martial arts world. He hurriedly came up with him, bowed and said warmly: "Everyone, do you have to rest and use some wine and food? It's not a villain who boasted that the ancestral 'Apricot Blossom Wine' in the shop is a famous wine in all corners of the country. If you miss this store, you can never find it again."

Dugu Feng threw the horse's reins to the waiter and ordered: "These horses need high-quality fodder, remember to mix soybeans and eggs." The waiter quickly asked someone to lead the horse to the stable in the backyard and leave.

The group walked in. It was lunch time, so there were a lot of tourists, with sixteen or seventeen diners.

Dugu Feng and others walked up the second floor and found a seat by the window. After a glance, they saw six diners on the table, including two brightly dressed monks. The people on the opposite side saw that there were not only Dugu Feng with a veil and could not see clearly, but also a few girls with bright eyes and white teeth. They couldn't help but look at them a few more. The two monks looked at Dugu Feng and others, but they saw that Dugu Feng and his group were all masters, so they quickly spoke out to stop the others.

Dugu Feng glanced at the two monks and found that they were not as good as martial arts. After listening to the conversations of several people, he realized that the two were monks from nearby temples, while the rest were the leaders of merchants under the temples. This is the base camp of Zen, so it is not surprising to meet several monks.

The waiter has been seeing off for so many years, and his eyes are the most stingy. He saw at first glance that Dugu Feng and others are not ordinary people. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What are the food for the guests? The sauté chicken in the shop has a very authentic taste. Do you want to come?"

Dugu Feng and others rushed through the road all morning and were a little thirsty, but they were not very interested in meat. Dugu Feng said, "Pick up some fresh fruits and vegetables first! Come on your jar of your 'yellow plum wine', and then you can just come on the specialty dishes in your small shop."

The child responded and hurriedly went on. After a while, he put some fresh fruits and vegetables on it, and then took another jar of yellow plum wine and brought it on it.

Zhanlu opened the mud seal and filled everyone with it. Dugu Feng took a sip of Huangmei wine and unexpectedly found that the Huangmei wine was actually fruit wine. It was soft and sweet and refreshing in the mouth, and it was very delicious. He couldn't help but drink a few more sips. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's good, I didn't expect that there were such fine wines in this countryside shop."

Song Yuzhi took a sip and felt that it was more refreshing than the good wine she usually drank, and it tasted more like the green plum. He also liked it very much, saying, "The taste is very good, I like it. It is even better than sugarcane wine!"

Qingxue tasted it, but said, "This wine tastes really good, but it seems to be more mellow than ordinary fruit wine. If you drink too much, you will also get drunk." As she spoke, she looked at Dugufeng, but she was worried about Dugufeng's alcohol tolerance.

Seeing Qingxue's eyes staring at Dugu Feng, Song Yuzhi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is Sister Feng's alcohol tolerance very poor?"

Qingxue glanced at Dugu Feng, who seemed to have heard nothing, and said, "Miss, please answer this question!"

Dugu Feng told her a little embarrassedly. She knew that her alcohol content was indeed not good, and the wine taste did not seem to be very good. If she drank too much, she would be like a different person. She had been a few times before, and she had tormented Qingxue very hard every time. Therefore, Dugu Feng rarely drank. She coughed softly and said, "Yuzhi, didn't you say that you shouldn't call me Fengjie?" Due to a popular Internet figure in his previous life, Dugu Feng couldn't hear others calling him Fengjie the most. When he heard this name, Dugu Feng couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

"Sister Feng is pretty good! Why don't my sister let me call me?" Song Yu curled her lips unhappily, and was extremely puzzled by Dugu Feng's inability to call her Sister Feng. Not to mention that she was confused, even those close to Dugu Feng such as Qingxue were also surprised that Dugu Feng would not allow her younger brothers and sisters to call her Sister Feng. However, Dugu Feng never explained the reason. After a long time, everyone became accustomed to it and regarded it as part of Dugu Feng's many strange tempers.

Dugu Feng didn't explain, but just said softly: "Don't call me, but don't call me. If you think I'm called my sister Dugu, just call me sister directly. Anyway, I'm not allowed to call me Sister Feng."

Dugu Feng and the others were drinking and chatting. Several monks there were also talking. At such a close distance, even if Dugu Feng didn't take care of it, he could hear it clearly. However, Dugu Feng didn't care, but occasionally he could not help but pay attention to the words "Shaolin" and "Master Daoxin".
