Chapter 44: Origin (I)

Wenyang Prefecture, city wall.

"Mr. Li, the young master is training troops outside the city again!" Li Xian nodded on the city wall, looking into the distance without making a sound.

Officials on both sides whispered: "The young master kept training troops three days after his wedding."

"Yes, the black-clothed guard is the key point. I heard that this time I got married to the Song family, and I used fifty high-quality war chariots to get here with the reason of sending dowry - fifty high-quality war pirates, without castration. This is really a big deal."

"But this is the only time. It's okay to transport some goods and food, soldiers, armor and war horses, any vassal state will be confiscated if they see it along the way."

"Mr. Chen, this continuous training requires a lot of food and supplies, right?"

"It's a lot, but it is said that the young master transported 20,000 stones himself without using the grain warehouse."

Li Xian couldn't help but cough and inspected the officials below. The officials were all sharp-eyed and stopped talking and looked at them.

The young master trained troops, in fact, he was constantly working together with the Yi army and the black guards, so that every soldier knew that he was the commander and the boss.

An official suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Look, I'm back."

Li Xian looked into the distance and saw a black line emerging from the field, rapidly expanding towards the city. After a while, the sound of horse hooves like thunder could be heard faintly.

This kind of storm-like charge made all the officials be attracted by their momentum and couldn't help but whisper: "The black-clothed guard is indeed extremely powerful. With such a powerful soldier in my town, it's so safe."

Li Xian looked at the black-clothed guard who was rushing towards him and couldn't help but change his color.

One mile away from the city gate, the black-clothed guard slowed down his horse speed. Li Xian saw all the cavalry in black uniforms from a distance, paying special attention to a team of cavalry.

This cavalry leader is He Yi.

After getting the horse, Wang Hongyi transferred He Yi to expand the Black-Clothed Guard, with an additional team of fifty people. He Yi served as the team leader, but because he was a cavalry and a black-Clothed Guard, his official position was actually the Captain Guoyi.

When Wang Hongyi saw the officials at the city gate, Li Xian was the leader. He couldn't help but smile, his body rose and fell to the ground.

A voice of admiration came from the city: "Young master is good at riding!"

"The young master is wise and elegant. Who can compare with his peers in Shu?"

Wang Hongyi laughed and met Li Xian, then asked, "Mr. Li, how is the ranch done?"

"It's not difficult to run this ranch, and even good varieties are not difficult, but food and grass are difficult. If there is a large grassland, it can be raised freely and eat non-stop a day, but if there is no large grassland, you can only feed it with grain. One war horse, and the annual food is 100 stones, which is three times that of a soldier."

"These three hundred war horses are equivalent to raising a thousand soldiers, so luxurious!" Li Xian looked embarrassed and said, "If it expands, it will be impossible to support it."

Wang Hongyi nodded, remembering that Li Shimin in the history of the earth, he defeated the enemy with the Xuan Armored Cavalry.

"Zizhi Tongjian" records: "The Qin King Shimin selected more than a thousand elite cavalry, all of which were soap-clothed Xuanjia, divided into left and right teams, and sent Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Jingde, and Zhai Changsun to general them. Every battle, Shimin was personally appointed as the vanguard by Xuanjia, and took the opportunity to attack. All the directions were destroyed, and the enemy feared him."

In the Battle of Hulao Pass, Li Shimin defeated King Dou Jiande of Xia with 3,500 cavalry, killed more than 10,000, captured 50,000, and captured King Dou Jiande of Xia himself. Therefore, it can be seen how powerful the Xuan Armored Cavalry is if he is proficient in military tactics.

However, with Li Shimin's financial resources, there were only a thousand Xuanjialing cavalrymen, which shows how rare cavalry was before they were obtained to raise horses.

It is already amazing to maintain 250 black-clothed guards in the whole town.

"Is food?" Wang Hongyi thought about it. He actually had two big killing weapons in his hand. This was obtained when doing farm work on earth. The only thing to consider is whether the timing is right.

When I watched intently, I saw the clouds rolling on the top. I saw the light yellow realm standing in the golden seal. Slightly white air was constantly seeping into the jade seal. These white air were refined into red air, and a few of them turned into light yellow again.

Wang Hongyi was very satisfied. He married Song Xinyou this time. Judging from his anger, he knew that the Song family supported a lot. He was constantly familiar with the Yi army and the Black Guards, and controlled the Sun. After a while, he could really be fearless.

Just as Wang Hongyi was thinking, a boat was on the Jishui River and slowly sailed on the river. There were two people on the boat, one of which was a Taoist, with a feathered shirt and a star crown, with a monstrous aura, which was the Xuan Cave.

The man behind him looked twenty years old, with his eyes shining brightly. Although his appearance was average, his virginity rushed straight out, unlike everyone on the top, and it was indeed like a wolf smoke.

The man knelt on the boat, looked around, and said nothing.

Xuandong stood on the boat, looking at the familiar scene, a trace of kin looks on his face.

Xuandong looked at the Yingying River and felt a little sad.

I remember that day I had a chat with Tian Ji on the boat on this water, as if I was in my previous life.

However, the people who were on that day had fallen into the underworld and had no more time to meet each other.

I went down the mountain again, but came to reverse the situation.

Thinking of Tian Ji's death, although the friendship between the same family is not deep, it is also sad.

The monks are already indifferent to each other, but Tian Ji is a little different.

He was despised by his master during his lifetime, and made suggestions many times, but he was also denied and ignored them. However, after his death, all the speculations during his lifetime came true.

He also calmly died, which surprised the master.

It is really sad that the master will be valued until his death. However, as long as the master's luck is not lost, Tian Ji's soul will be protected. Even if he is in the underworld, he will also be taken care of and may become a ghost immortal. This is also the destination.

Xuandong looked at the calm Jishui River in front of him and sighed. The last time they were on this Jishui River, they sensed the ominous feeling.

At that time, although I had noticed it, I didn't care. I only left my beloved disciple Zhou Zhu here, thinking that it could reverse the changes that could occur in the dark.

But I don’t know that the will of heaven is so majestic that ordinary people can control. When did the energy of the hidden dragon become so complicated and difficult to distinguish between heaven and earth?

Real person, did you calculate the situation today?

If it has been calculated, why let it go?

If we haven't calculated what to do in Shu, can we really take advantage of the situation as the master said?

Xuandong was silent for a long time, and his heart was confused. He didn't know if what the master did was really right.

When I turned around, I saw the Tianqiu Warrior, whose face was calm and not infected by these scenery. Perhaps the more I knew, the more I was trapped. Those who didn't know would be relaxed and comfortable.

"Zhang Tie, in half a moment, we will be within the Wenyang Mansion. We will find a place to settle down first and then make plans." Xuan Dong said lightly.

When Zhang Tie heard this, he nodded and responded: "No."

When they arrived at one place, the two of them went ashore without delay, and went directly to Wenyang Mansion. According to the instructions of the master, they needed to find a place to settle in Wenyang Mansion.

And there is a Taoist temple ten miles from Wenyang Prefecture City, which is where you are preparing to settle down.

The place where you get ashore is only ten miles away from this temple.

There were pedestrians on the road, and they only took ordinary speeds. After half an hour, they arrived here and saw a Taoist temple among the lush trees.

Zhang Tie stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who is outside the door?" There was a crisp voice inside the door asking, and the sound was a little boy.

"The person in Shanyin is the old friend of the viewer. He comes to visit the viewer." Xuandong stopped Zhang Tie and went up to speak in a deep voice.

"The master of the temple? Please wait a little longer." The little boy in the temple heard it and said.

The footsteps gradually faded, and they went to report to the inside.

The two were waiting outside, but the waiting time was not long. In just a while, a sound of footsteps came again.

With a creaking sound, the gate of the Taoist temple was opened from the inside. An elderly Taoist priest appeared in front of the door and looked at everyone. Behind him, there was a child who had just answered.

The old Taoist priest had a look of scrutiny. After a while, he recognized Xuan Cave and suddenly looked surprised on his face. He said, "It turns out that the immortal master has arrived. Please come in quickly."

He was very attentive and walked in, and said with emotion: "It has been ten years since I don't want the style of the immortal master to remain the same."

"You are still healthy, too." Xuandong said with a smile.

Looking at the man behind, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but ask, "Is this?"

"Oh, this is Zhang Tie, the disciple of the Immortal Master whom I have registered. Stay here for a few days, isn't it convenient?" Xuandong said.

The old Taoist priest was very happy and kept saying, "It's convenient, convenient! The immortal master should stay for a few more days this time."

"I have this intention, I'm afraid I'll bother you."

"How could it be that the immortal master is here to keep it here? Xiaodao is too happy, just keep it in check, as long as you don't mind the Taoist temple." The two of them talked about it, they were really old acquaintances.

Ten miles away, it is the city of Mansion. Walking with your feet is only half an hour's journey, and it's just a short while to see it.

When they arrived at a quiet room, the Taoist priest ordered the child to bring out a tea tray - tea, cloud cake, and red dates.

He ordered two servants to quickly clean the room and free up two quiet rooms.

The old Taoist Zun Xuandong sat in the chief, poured tea, and when he saw him looking, he smiled and said, "There is a gentleman from Zhou Jin in my hometown who respects Xianzun very much. He donated twenty taels of silver every year and sent some young friends to help, but it was a real good deed."

Xuandong smiled and said, "This is a good person, and he should have blessings."

After I finished my snacks, I poured tea again, and the child reported that the clean room was cleaned out.

The old Taoist priest bowed his head and bowed: "The immortal master goes to rest first, I will go to the dinner party now."

Speaking of which, when Sakyamuni was alive, the monastic community pursued the righteous destiny of begging for food. Apart from alcohol, no matter what meat or vegetable or what lay people offer, they would eat. This can be seen everywhere in the sutras and laws.

The first Buddhist traitor Devadatta who openly advocated eating vegetarian food was the Buddhist traitor. He was jealous of Sakyamuni's status and deliberately wanted to surpass Sakyamuni, and even wanted to destroy Sakyamuni and replace him.

In order to show the world that he is superior to Sakyamuni, he proposed five asceticisms, one of which was to not eat fish for the rest of his life, which was also clearly refuted by Sakyamuni.

The origin of the vegetarian diet on Earth was that it originated from Emperor Wu of Liang in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It was first promoted by Buddhism, and then even Taoism was eaten.

Qi Refiners in this world cannot be simply regarded as Earthly Taoism, and of course there is no Emperor Wu of Liang. The difference between meat and vegetables is not important, and each person's tastes and entry.

The old Taoist priests were rectifying the dinner, and of course they did not avoid meat and vegetables, and Xuandong also bowed their heads and returned the ceremony.

When I came out of the door, there were also a few peach blossoms and willow trees in the view. After watching for a while, I saw the misty rain falling, and the smoke covered the trees and the scenery was even more wonderful.
