"Justice, be careful what you say!"

In the huge Buddhist hall, Liu Jinxun fluttered his sleeves and stood back, looking calmly at the furious Zhang Siyuan.

"The cabinet's actions are naturally justified by the cabinet's reasons. Since there is an order from above, we just have to follow it."

"What sense can they have? Aren't they just going to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and continue to be their subordinates?"

Zhang Siyuan did not hide the sarcasm in his eyes, and rushed to the door of the palace, raising his halberd and pointing in the distance.

It was just after noon, but the sky was already dark, dark clouds were rolling in, and the wind and snow were howling.

Although there are no traces of destruction in Nagqu City under the gloomy clouds, there is an atmosphere of sadness that is almost visible to the naked eye.

Prayer flags were hung in front of every house in the city. The grieving people knelt on the street, clasped their hands and recited scriptures about salvation.

The news of Monk Nagqu's reincarnation has spread throughout the city, which is equivalent to the sky falling for them.

"Master Liu, take a good look, it's still dark today!"

Zhang Siyuan's words were extremely fierce at this moment.

"Yu Gong, now that the chief evil has not been eliminated, Lin Jiapo, the Lord of Sangyan Buddha, is still sitting on her Sumeru throne. Yu privately, the poison of Fandi is still there, and these people are still suffering from the oppression and torture of Fandi Buddha's order. If you leave now , then what’s the point of us coming here?”

"Yi Zheng, it's dark because it's going to clear up soon!"

Liu Jinxun frowned and said in a deep voice: "Now that the Naqu Golden Temple has been destroyed, we have expressed the position and original intention of the court and the New Donglin Party, and others will naturally handle the rest. The end of the Sangyan Temple disappearing into smoke It won’t change. As for the people.”

Liu Jinxun paused before sighing: "Their problems were not formed in a day or a month, nor can they be changed in a day or a month. No one has the ability to help them span a thousand years in one step. So even if you don't If you are willing to leave, staying here won’t change anything.”

Zhang Siyuan asked back: "Is this the reason why the court is ready to let it go?"

"Court."

Liu Jinxun was about to speak, his eyes hesitant, but he finally made up his mind to speak.

"Yi Zheng, after Emperor Yizong set the order, the Ming Empire has moved in an unprecedented direction. People are everywhere with dragon-slaying skills and dragon-slaying blades. There is no precedent to follow in the governance of the country. ”

"You and I are the only ones here today. To put it bluntly, can today's imperial court still be regarded as a imperial court? There are deep taboos in Confucianism. No one wants to say it openly, but everyone knows it well! If there are no ritual requirements, I’m afraid the imperial court has long since disappeared!”

"We all know that the true direction of the empire should be to split into the Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist kingdoms with sequence as the main body, and return to the situation of competing for hegemony and hundreds of schools of thought contending in the Spring and Autumn Period!"

Liu Jinxun said sincerely: "Now we are just doing our best and obeying fate. But no matter where the empire's final destiny will go, one thing will never change, that is, governing a big country is like cooking a small one. You can only do it slowly, not even a little bit." Don’t be impatient, the same is true for Fandi now.”

"My lord, I am deeply impressed by what you said. But!"

Zhang Siyuan's expression was solemn and his words were sonorous and powerful.

"Since we want to plan it slowly, we should take action to 'plan' it. No matter whether it is urgent or slow, there must be a beginning. Now that we are here, we should be ready to change this place. Instead of setting off a revolution After the turmoil, choose to leave!”

Zhang Siyuan pointed to the group of people kneeling in prayer and said, "We can leave, but can they?!"

"If it is not broken, it cannot be established."

Liu Jinxun spoke softly and his eyes were meaningful.

Zhang Siyuan was silent for a moment and said slowly: "We broke it, but sir, can it really stand up again?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Jinxun was speechless.

It is true that after the destruction of Sangyan Temple, Fandi will inevitably fall into a violent chaos.

For the New Donglin Party, which has a large base and no need to worry about the supply of new blood, the best choice for its own interests is to let it go.

Wait until these fighting hyenas decide the winner on this plateau, and then start to divide the benefits.

But by then, how many people will still be alive here?

How much suffering do these people need to suffer before they can wait for that day?

"Yi Zheng, when the Chief Assistant gives such an order, he naturally has his own considerations. This is not something we can control, do you understand?"

After a long silence, Liu Jinxun finally spoke helplessly.

"He has his considerations, and I also have my choice." Zhang Siyuan said without hesitation.

"Yi Zheng!"

Liu Jinxun emphasized his tone: "You are first an official of the Ming Empire, and then you are a follower of Confucianism. Don't get your identity wrong!"

Zhang Siyuan smiled: "Sir, you yourself said that the current imperial court is just a formality. In this case, it's okay not to be an official. I think it's good to be a teacher and educate people."

"How can you save Fandi without holding a public weapon?!"

Liu Jinxun didn't expect Zhang Siyuan to say such words, so he couldn't help but frown angrily and shouted sternly.

Zhang Siyuan replied calmly: "Without public weapons, I still have a public heart. I can't save a whole city, but I can save a village and one person, that's enough."

"Confused!"

Liu Jinxun said angrily: "Do you know who are the people coming to the foreign land at this moment?! White Horse Buddha Shiyi, Dazhao Buddha Longsheng, and the three great Buddhas of Han Chuan, Longhu Mountain Great Heavenly Master Zhang Chongcheng, and people from Yin Yang Xu Donghuang Palace and Nong Xu Sheji. Sangyan Buddha Land is destined to be a scorched earth battlefield. If you continue to stay here, not to mention who can be saved, you will be in danger, understand?"

"There are really a lot of people coming, and I don’t know if one Linga Po can be shared by so many people?"

Zhang Siyuan said in a relaxed tone: "But I really can’t see who dares to touch Zhang Fengyue’s son?"

"You"

His unruly and dandy appearance made Liu Jinxun feel angry.

Liu Jinxun would rather Zhang Siyuan be an unlearned young man than do these dangerous things in the name of Zhang Fengyue like he is now.

This tiger skin would have been invincible in the past, but now it may not only fail to protect him, but may also bring him disaster.

"If these people are bloodthirsty, anything can happen. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so why do you have to do this?"

"Uncle Liu, don't worry, the three words 'Zhang Fengyue' should still be able to calm these people."

Zhang Siyuan no longer called him 'sir', but changed to a more intimate name.

He bowed to Liu Jinxun and performed a Confucian disciple's etiquette.

"Below the big picture, there are still small families, and under the fate of the country, there are still human lives. My father has a far-sighted vision, and I can't compare to him. I can only see these trivial things under my nose. But if I don't do these little things, I will feel uneasy."

Liu Jinxun shook his head: "The Prime Minister will not agree to you."

"Do you think he didn't expect me to do this?"

Zhang Siyuan bowed his hands and bowed, and said softly: "Since he didn't order you to forcibly take me away from the land, it means that he has actually acquiesced and will not use this to cause trouble for you."

These words left Liu Jinxun speechless, with a self-deprecating smile on his face. He said no more and turned to walk out of the hall.

Before stepping out of the door, Liu Jinxun paused, but did not look back.

"No matter what happens, Yizheng, you must protect your life first. There are very few young people like you in our Confucian order."

After that, Liu Jinxun did not stay any longer, got on the carriage that had been waiting for a long time, and left the city.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Siyuan was the only one left in the empty Naqu Golden Temple, looking at the departing convoy with a complicated expression.

What kind of person is Liu Jinxun?

Before entering the foreign land, Zhang Siyuan had heard about what happened in Jinling City.

He thought that the other party was a typical clan leader, arrogant, indifferent, and ruthless.

In order to continue the family, he could do anything, even cold-blooded enough to treat his own son as a poisonous insect, just to cultivate a qualified heir.

After being humiliated by Li Jun, he still chose to endure. After exposing some shameful little actions, he decisively surrendered to his father in exchange for the stability of the family's status.

Such an old fox who had experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom, Zhang Siyuan originally had a bad impression of him.

But now, Zhang Siyuan felt that he was not so unbearable.

Perhaps it was because of their existence that the Confucian order was able to leap to the top of the three religions in one go after the "division of the world into martial arts", surpassing other sequences.

After a long time, Zhang Siyuan finally retracted his gaze and sat at the threshold of the Golden Temple, listening to the mourning songs that the foreign people in the city finally dared to sing because of the departure of these Ming people.

"The departed Buddha took away the warmth and light. We lost our guidance and were blinded by the blizzard. We can no longer see the Buddha's light on Lingshan Mountain and hear the chanting of the sutras to save the sinners."

"Without the sun, barley can't bear ears. Without rain and dew, how can Gesang flowers bloom? We are like drifting weeds, unable to take root in the soil. We are wandering ghosts, unable to find a home on the plateau."

Zhang Siyuan sat here as long as the singing sounded.

Until night fell, the roaring sound of the wind like a beast overwhelmed the singing, and he finally waited for the person he was waiting for.

Yuan Mingfei looked at the man who had been sitting in front of the temple gate for who knows how long, and his body was covered with snow, and asked softly: "Are you Zhang Siyuan?"

Zhang Siyuan shook off the snow: "Absolutely genuine."

"You knew I was coming?"

"That's not hard to guess. But I didn't expect you to be alone."

Zhang Siyuan looked at the lonely Yuan Mingfei with a slightly surprised look, "According to the intelligence of the New Donglin Party, you should be with the old-fashioned Taoist priest named Chen Qisheng now, right?"

"He has gone to Guangzhou Prefecture."

Zhang Siyuan raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you all already know what happened in Xin'an? Then why didn't you go?"

"People of the state are more important than We expected it to be more difficult and thorny. "

Yuan Mingfei nodded and said calmly: "I am a common Buddhist monk, and I will only be a burden if I go."

Zhang Siyuan was a little surprised by the calmness shown by the other party at this moment, and couldn't help asking: "Don't you worry about Li Jun's safety?"

Yuan Mingfei asked back: "Is worrying useful?"

Zhang Siyuan opened and closed his lips, but could only smile bitterly and admit for a long time: "It's really useless."

"So instead of worrying about nothing here, it's better to find a way to get rid of these people."

Zhang Siyuan blurted out: "What do you have in mind?"

Yuan Mingfei did not answer, but looked at Zhang Siyuan steadily and asked a question that he did not expect.

"Is your New Donglin Party involved in this?"

Zhang Siyuan felt an inexplicable chill in his heart: "If I say no, at least I don't, do you believe it?"

"letter."

Zhang Siyuan, who originally thought that he would have to spend a lot of time, was stunned for a moment when he heard Yuan Mingfei's decisive answer, not knowing what the other party meant.

Zhang Siyuan calmed down and said: "I don't know what your solution is, but I still want to remind you that Xin'an has been enveloped by Jichang and has become a dead city. Even Li Jun has fallen into it. Chen Qisheng is an old school Even if Daoxu goes, it will only add another life. Let him come back, I can save Li Jun. "

"What can you do?"

Zhang Siyuan scratched his head, his expression slightly embarrassed, as if he was at a loss for what to do.

"It's not complicated. I just need to go to Xin'an in person. If I jump into the farm on my own initiative, my old man can't just turn a blind eye and watch me being eaten by people from Sheji, right?"

"The descendants of Confucian Xu are worthless."

Concubine Yuan Ming shook her head and said something that made Zhang Siyuan's face turn red.

Zhang Siyuan gritted his teeth and argued: "You can't generalize, I am an only son!"

"Then how sure can you be that your father will take action?"

Zhang Siyuan hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "Half? It should be at least half."

"What if Sheji just traps you in the farm but doesn't move you?"

Zhang Siyuan was speechless when asked, and said angrily: "Then what are you going to do? What are your methods?"

"Enter the Sangyan Buddha Land."

Concubine Yuan Ming gave her own method.

"What?"

Zhang Siyuan suspected that he had heard wrongly and asked in confusion: "Li Jun is in Xin'an now and not in Sangyan Buddha Land. Is there any relationship between the two?"

"As long as I enter Sangyan Temple, I will have a chance to save him."

"How to save me? Do you think you can become a Buddha immediately after entering Sangyan Temple, be promoted to the second rank, put a knife on the neck of the people in Sheji, and ask them to spit out Li Jun?"

Zhang Siyuan said angrily: "I just don't understand, why do you all have to do things that you know you can't do? Are you really not afraid of death?"

"Without him, I would have died in Chongqing Mansion, and Chen Qisheng would have lost his life in the Japanese area."

Yuan Mingfei paused and said seriously: "If any of us were trapped in Xin'an today, he would do the same thing."

"This Wu Xu's assimilation ability is really more evil than our Confucian Xu's seal."

Zhang Siyuan sighed, looked at Concubine Yuan Ming with a resolute expression, and said: "It is very dangerous in the Sangyan Buddha Land now. There are many people who have become Buddhas and ancestors. If you go in now, your body will probably be wiped out. Do you know?"

"You owe Li Jun a favor regarding the Naqu Golden Temple. He doesn't care. But in this situation, I can only be the shameless person to get this favor back."

Concubine Yuan Ming ignored Zhang Siyuan's words and bowed deeply to him.

"I would like to ask you to accompany me to the Sangyan Buddha Land and help me climb the Sangyan Mountain to meet the Sangyan Buddha, Lin Jiapo."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Mingfei's arm that had not been completely buried was suddenly lifted up by someone.

"If I accept this gift from you, I don't know how many times that reckless man Li Jun will chop me if he finds out. Sister Yuan, please don't hurt me."

At some point, Zhang Siyuan, who was sitting in front of the temple gate, appeared next to Concubine Yuan Ming.

After helping Yuan Mingfei, he took a step back with a smile before speaking.

"It might be more dangerous if you take me with you. I won't tell you why, but you should understand. I can't guarantee that I can send you up the mountain."

Concubine Yuan Ming said sternly: "It doesn't matter. If you encounter danger, you can leave directly without taking care of me."

Zhang Siyuan smiled noncommittally, "Then I will accompany you on this trip, Sister Yuan."

"Thank you!" Yuan Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Siyuan waved his hand, "That's too polite. Lao Li and I are not on ordinary terms. Strictly speaking, we should be considered a team. Too many polite words will hurt our feelings."

Concubine Yuan Ming nodded, "Li Jun has a good eye for people, he said."

"What did he say?"

When Zhang Siyuan heard this, he immediately became energetic and asked hurriedly.

"He said you were just a fool."

"Why do you curse people for no reason?"

The expression on Zhang Siyuan's face was suffocated, and he pointed at his nose: "To be fair, am I stupid? Am I stupid?"

"Of course you're not stupid."

Yuan Mingfei changed the subject: "But has anyone ever said that your acting is really bad?

"Um?"

"Actually, you guessed from the beginning that I was going to enter the Sangyan Buddha Land, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be waiting for me here."

Concubine Yuan Ming asked calmly: "Since everyone knows, why do you want to play this scene with me?"

The dismantled Zhang Siyuan laughed, with no trace of embarrassment on his face.

"People's hearts are separated from each other, and I don't have the ability to understand them all. If you don't have the idea of ​​​​entering the Sangyan Buddha Land, and I accidentally say the wrong thing and make you have such an idea, then it's really terrible. He will be beaten to death by Li Jun."

Concubine Yuan Ming continued to ask: "Then you are not curious at all about why I am so sure that I can save Li Jun by doing this?"

"I'm not curious. You naturally have your reasons for doing this."

Zhang Siyuan said frankly: "What I should do is to help as much as possible, to give timely assistance, and to repay Li Jun's favor, so that we can meet again in the future."

"So, you also think he will not die?"

Zhang Siyuan smiled and said: "As the old saying goes, evil will last for thousands of years. People like him will not die so easily."

"Then let's go."

Yuan Mingfei raised her eyes and looked over the flying house on the top of the Naqu Golden Temple, looking at the dark night sky in the distance with a storm.

"Enter the Sangyan Buddha Land."
