Chapter 1001 Qiu Raccoon Dog The northwest wind always seems so cold. At this time, the flowers in Chang'an City have been blooming for almost summer, but the wind here is still as sharp as a bone-scratching knife. During this season, even if the people tried their best to dig up the hard soil and scatter seeds, nothing would grow. ? Southwest Jiangnan, two crops a year. In this place in the northwest, even in good years, we can¡¯t produce much food once a year. In fact, the reason why the empire fought fiercely with the Meng Yuan over this territory was to show its national power. There is another reason that will never be stated openly. ? Here is a buffer zone. When the Sui Dynasty was founded, who was the most powerful enemy? Who else could it be besides Meng Yuan. Yang Jian led his troops here to deal with the Wolf Cavalry of the Meng Yuan Empire, and he knew the combat power of the Wolf Cavalry. That battle was the first time that the proud wolf cavalry faced the Sui infantry who were armed to the teeth. The infantry's gun formation left the wolf cavalry with nowhere to bite its claws. If they charged into the formation, they would be stuck in a quagmire and unable to extricate themselves. The cavalrymen on their backs turned into straw men, allowing the pikemen to poke them into pieces. However, once this kind of war becomes normalized, the Wolf Cavalry will have a complete set of tactics to deal with the Sui infantry. This is something Yang Jian cannot let happen. Therefore, although the northwest is exhausted, he still deploys heavy troops. This place in the northwest was the war buffer zone left by Yang Jian for other places in the Sui Dynasty. As long as there is a war with Meng Yuan, the war must not be spread beyond the northwest. When Emperor Taizong was in power, he even placed General Li Xiao here to guard it. Meng Yuan is like a wolf, he dare not do anything. Since grain cannot be produced in the northwest, relief must be allocated from other places every year. Even if the water and land routes of the Sui Dynasty were unimpeded, half of the food transported from other places would be consumed halfway. Such a huge sacrifice The people praised the emperor's benevolence, but they could not see the coldness behind the emperor's benevolence. . People in the northwest often joke that so many ravines in the northwest are caused by the wind. They would describe the northwest wind as an iron plow. When a gust of wind blows, several deep furrows are plowed into the ground. Especially near Langru Mountain, people from two villages shout and talk across a deep ditch. If they want to sit face to face and chat, they have to go far away. Therefore, people from two villages that are only three or four miles apart often never meet each other in their lifetime. The young man in Confucian shirt felt the strength of the north wind and couldn't help tightening his collar. It wasn't that he couldn't bear the wind, he just felt that the wind should be respected. Someone came out of the gorge. He turned his head and took a look and didn't look again. Relatively speaking, no matter how grand those people are, it means nothing to him. Eight monks in yellow robes came over carrying a lotus throne that looked like it was carved from white jade. Sitting cross-legged on the lotus throne is a monk in white clothes, who is as rich as jade. In front of these eight people, there were thirty-six girls in colorful clothes floating like flying fairies. The colorful ribbons on their bodies were fluttering in the wind, and their long skirts were blown back by the wind, outlining the scenes. The extremely graceful body is tightly wrapped in a thin gauze skirt, especially the intersection carved between the legs is even more imaginative. With exposed shoulders and half exposed breasts, the beauty of those women makes people's hearts flutter. They didn't seem to mind the cold wind at all, showing off their beauty to the fullest. But the man in Confucian shirt didn't even look at it. Da Zizi is looking at him. "I heard that Yueyingtang was removed from the membership more than two hundred years ago. I never thought that it had always been there, and I never thought that the current person in charge of Yueyingtang is so young and has such grace." Da Zizi smiled and said, "Let Mr. Jiu stay in Han It would be rude to wait in the wind for a long time." Mr. Jiu then turned around and nodded slightly: "Master, there is no need to apologize to me. These girls' shoulders cannot withstand the wind. If they are roughened by the wind, they will not be able to withstand it. "It's wonderful." Da Zizi smiled: "They don't care about the little wind and cold." Mr. Jiu said nothing and pointed to a pavilion in the distance: "Please" The eight yellow-robed monks knelt down slowly. Lower the lotus throne. The great freedom came down from above and walked slowly. No matter how strong the wind was, it could never blow his clothes. "Mr. Ninth sent someone to Dalun Temple a few days ago. After thinking about it, it seems feasible. I have already agreed to Mr. Eight's suggestion. I didn't expect that Mr. Ninth would come in person. This place was chosen well. It's over the mountain. This is the world of Buddhism, this side of the mountain Soon it will be the country of Yueyingtang." Da Zi sat down and waved, and then someone came up with fragrant tea. "The master's words are really enjoyable to listen to" Mr. Jiu smiled and said: "Lao Ba went to Dalun Temple to see the eminent monk. The master met him and agreed to what he asked. But after he came back?I felt more and more that something was wrong, so I was advised to see the master again. " "Mr. Eighth, what do you think is wrong? " Da Zi Zai asked. Mr. Jiu shook his head and said: "Lao Ba is a straightforward character and has no scruples in what he says. Master, don't be offended if you say something wrong. He said that when he got to the bottom of Dalun Temple, the master was already waiting but refused to take him up the mountain. So he thought, could it be that the mountain was ruined? When the master sent him back, he was accompanied by such a beautiful girl, but Lao Ba said that Buddhism has always said that women have to abandon their karma in the next life, but they still let women accompany him. Could it be that there are no monks in the mountain? "He smiled: "This is too blunt. I told him not to talk nonsense, but he refused to listen to me and let me see for myself" Naturally, Da Zizi's expression was not that good. I thought He handed Mr. Jiu the teacup, and his hand felt a little stiff in mid-air. ¡°That¡¯s rude. " Da Zi Zai quickly regained his smile and remained as Gujing Bubo as ever: "I didn't invite Mr. Eight up the mountain, because I lost my hospitality. It's just that when Mr. Eight came, I didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, so I met him outside the mountain gate. If I had known that Mr. Eighth had good intentions, I would have naturally met him in the palace of Dalun Mingwang. " "Oh" Mr. Jiu nodded as if he suddenly understood: "No wonder, it was Lao Ba who went there abruptly. However, Lao Ba came back and said The power of the master lies in Dalun Temple. As long as the master does not leave Dalun Temple, he is invincible. So he thought, Master, you would never leave the mountain. " This time Da Zi Zai's hands were not frozen, but the expression on his face was frozen. "I have always admired Buddhist scriptures, so I have read a lot of them. There are still several books in the study room, and every time I read them, I feel like I am suddenly enlightened. "Mr. Jiu took a sip of tea, seeming to want to ease the rather embarrassing atmosphere: "Many, many years ago, Buddhist books were banned in Yueyingtang. Even the master knows that not only the Buddhist books were banned after the founding of the Sui Dynasty, There was some resistance among the sects. Even during the Zheng Dynasty, the Buddhist sect was not allowed to enter the Central Plains. But now the Buddhist classics are on my desk. This is a change. " He raised his head and looked at Da Zi Zi: "The world is always changing. Some subtleties may not be traceable, but the changes are there If there is anything that remains unchanged in this world, it is human desire. The reason why the master traveled thousands of miles to see me is because he has greed in his heart. You are greedy and so am I. I really hope we will hit it off in the future. " Da Zi Zi hates this Han man very much. He hates him as much as he hates Fang Jie. Although he has not inherited the memories of Da Zi Zai who died before, he knows very well what Fang Jie has done. And those who are related to Fang Jie What have you done? Yang Qi went west with his sword and caused chaos in the Dalun Temple. Even King Dalun Ming finally died in the hands of that person. He was beaten until he could no longer regain his strength. But now, he had to sit down and talk with this Han. It was not the Han who wanted to go west, but the Mongolian wolf cavalry who wanted to go east. Already on his way, Kuoketai Meng Ge Yujia needed a strong helper in the Central Plains. When "he" asked Da Zizai to go to the Central Plains to meet Yang Jian, he originally wanted to ask Yang Jian to be the helper to help Yang Jian destroy Fang Jie. , destroy all those who start to use firearms. It is a pity that Yang Jian and Fo Zong can never be of the same mind. Now, the Yueyingtang, which was not noticed at all, suddenly appeared, and Mr. Eight showed it in the big talk. The cultivation level is indeed shocking. So "he" asked Da Zizi to come and meet Mr. Jiu. If Yueyingtang and Buddha Sect can join forces, it will be smoother for the Wolf Cavalry. "But this person is very annoying." What the teacher said is the eternal truth. Everything is changing, but the greed of people remains unchanged. That is to say, after cultivating no desire, there is no pursuit, but the pursuit of no desire is desire. " Da Zizi smiled and said: "I don't know, what kind of greed does Mr. Jiu want to say when he sees me? " "Wolf Cavalry wants to enter the customs? Mr. Jiu suddenly asked. Da Zizai was slightly startled, then nodded: "I want to come in." " "Can I not come in? "Mr. Jiu asked again. "No" Da Zizi shook his head. Mr. Jiu hummed: "This is what we want to talk about. I want to join forces with the Buddha Sect, borrowing the power of the Buddha Sect instead of Meng Yuan's army. I want to destroy the Taoist sect, and Taoist Master Xiao Yijiu is in the grassland. If the master is willing to help me keep Xiao Yijiu, then I will help the master kill Fang Jie. " "Haha??If you don't help me, I'll still have to kill him. " "Must the Wolf Rider enter?" " "Definitely" "When are you leaving? " "When it's time to leave, I will leave naturally. " Da Zizi said slowly: "Everyone has greed. They want to cooperate but are afraid that the other party will be greedy for their own things. As everyone knows, if you want to get it, you have to give it up. If you don't want to give it up, you can't talk about this partnership. I can't tell you when the Wolf Rider will leave, but I can tell you that the Wolf Rider will definitely leave. The Great Khan of the Meng Yuan Dynasty did not conquer the Central Plains to conquer the world, but wanted something else. Yueyingtang is a little weaker now relying on Gao Kaitai, right? Mr. Jiu didn't bring any sincerity, why should I exchange Xiao Yijiu? Mr. Jiu's expression suddenly changed: "Xiao Yijiu has gone back?" " Da Zi Zai laughed loudly: "Before you came, he had already gone back. " He glanced at Mr. Jiu: "If he doesn't go back, Mr. Jiu and I really can't talk. When he goes back, Fang Jie will become stronger, so you and I can cooperate. " Mr. Jiu was silent for a while, then stood up: "Luoshui and Yishui are the lines, and the east wolf cavalry cannot enter. " Da Zizai said: "Okay, let's go to Zhuque Mountain on wolf cavalry. This is a big help, right? " Mr. Jiu said: "I will come for the hundreds of thousands of Black Flag Army troops in Gyeonggi Province. " "I want to know why Wolf Cavalry wants to attack Zhuque Mountain. " He asked. Da Zizi stood up, turned around and walked back: "I don't know why you hit me. The Buddha taught this, and it is God's will. The Buddha said that there are demons on Suzaku Mountain, so the demons must be killed and eliminated. However, Mr. Jiu also needs to remember one thing. Even if the Buddha Sect is not as good as before, none of the monsters in the Buddha Sect's eyes are alive. "
