    My new book "Cultivation of Immortality in the Infinite World" needs new books to be uploaded, and I need your firepower support But I saw that this Taoist priest refused to accept anyone. As long as someone came up to ask for something, he would put his big hand into his sleeve, and a piece of dough would come out as soon as he touched it.  In a short time, it was distributed to hundreds of people.  At this time, even the fools knew something was wrong, and they all knelt down on the ground and shouted: "God, the God is here" Soon the chaos here alerted the people patrolling the city, and there was a stampede like yesterday.  After that, today Lin Ya Yelu Dashi sent his soldiers and horses to start to restore order in the city. Otherwise, if this continues, the entire Youzhou City will collapse before the Jurchens can attack.  At this time, when I saw the crowd gathering, I thought something had happened.  A group of soldiers and horses surrounded them and began to drive away the gathered crowd.  "Who are you? Why are you gathering here to cause trouble?" A Xiren general pointed at the Taoist priest and shouted in somewhat stiff Chinese.  The Liao Kingdom has ruled the north for hundreds of years, and most of the upper class has been Sinicized.  Even this Xi Ren general can speak Chinese.  "The poor Taoist Chong Xiaozi traveled to Youzhou today just to see how pitiful these refugees are. I just gave them some food!" Chong Xiaozi said with a faint smile.  That person was greedy for money. Seeing that this Taoist priest could actually give away so many things to people, he might have something valuable with him.  The Xi people, whose real name is the Kumo Xi people, are an ancient ethnic group in northern China. They originated from Donghu and are a branch of the Yuwen tribe in Xianbei in the east. They have the same origin as the Khitan people.  After the establishment of the Liao Kingdom, the Xi tribe was conquered by the Khitan.  But he has the highest status, far surpassing other miscellaneous men, and has become the right-hand man of the Khitan people.  Later, he even joined the ruling group of Liao Kingdom.  Today Emperor Zuo has millions of troops.  After the defeat in the First World War, the Khitan people's power was even more stretched, and they had to rely more on the power of these Xi people.  At this time, the ridiculing young general became greedy and shouted: "I don't think you are a good person? Tell me. Are you a spy sent by the Jurchens?" The Taoist priest said funnyly: "This general has something to say, don't  No matter how you judge, whether the Jurchen has a green face and fangs, or whether she has three heads and six arms, even a poor Taoist has never seen! "The Taoist priest said it was funny, but the scornful general didn't care so much.  How can he be called a general?  He was just a junior officer like a centurion among the Xi people, otherwise he wouldn't be so short-sighted.  He shouted: "Don't say more. I think you are a spy. Come here. Catch this spy!" Chong Xiaozi smiled: "In this case, I will not accompany you." He said leisurely  Step out.  A large number of soldiers gathered around, trying to catch the Taoist priest.  But he saw the Taoist priest stepping out in a few leisurely steps, and he had already stepped out of the encirclement before anyone else understood what was going on.  "Stop, this man is indeed a spy, take him down quickly!" General Xi Ren was furious.  I took off the bow and arrow from the saddle and started shooting, but it took so long.  When the bow and arrow were in hand, only the back of the Taoist priest was left.  "I want to run!" General Xi Ren chased after him on horseback. Seeing that he was not far away from the Taoist, he stopped his horse, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and the arrow passed half a meter away from the Taoist's side.  But the Taoist casually grabbed it and caught it in his hand.  Before the general could fire his arrow again, the Taoist stepped forward faster and disappeared from sight in just a few steps.  "Damn it, these Khitan people's riding and shooting skills are not very good. No wonder they were beaten so badly by the Jurchens!" This Taoist is none other than our Heavenly Master Wen Da.  I'm afraid no one thought that the Song Dynasty was marching towards Youzhou vigorously, and as the commander and spiritual leader of the army, Master Wen Da would actually come to Youzhou City alone.  "The horse gallops and shoots arrows without the skill, and the accuracy is poor. Could it be that all the elites of the Liao people were killed at Hubu Dagang?" Wen Fei casually threw the carved feather arrow to the ground.  This arrow is a bit rough, both in terms of the iron sharpness of the arrowhead and the manufacturing of the arrow shaft, and is not comparable to the military products of the Song Dynasty.  But in the original time and space, when Tong Guan conquered the Liao Dynasty, he was defeated by such defenders again and again. It was not until he cooperated with the rebel generals that he captured Youzhou City. ??????? Is the Song Dynasty¡¯s army really so weak?  These Liao soldiers and horses, who were defeated by the Jurchens, became so brave when they fought against the Song army?  This has always been a huge mystery in history, and it also made Master Wen interested in sneaking into Youzhou City alone to check the military situation.  The scale of Youzhou City is not large. After the Khitan occupied Youzhou, it was renamed Nanjing Xijin Prefecture.  I have neither the mind to manage nor the strength to deal with the old?Carry out large-scale amplification.  After hundreds of years, it still maintains the original appearance of Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty.  However, the Khitan people believe in Buddhism and have built many Buddhist temples in the city, which still maintain the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty.  It is mainly majestic and simple, with a complete structure and no fancy decorations.  As for the Taoist temple, I have never seen one.  The streets are full of refugees, and there is no one to help them.  On the contrary, all the neighbors were locked up, and Wen Fei scattered food casually along the way, as if strolling in a garden.  Finally we arrived in front of a large temple.  "Minzhong Temple is right here!" Looking at the three-story pavilion standing upright behind the temple, Wen Fei smiled and walked into the temple.  This large temple was originally built in the Tang Dynasty. In the 19th year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty conquered Korea.  When he returned to Youzhou, in order to commemorate the soldiers who died in the Liao Campaign, "their remains were collected, buried in the west of Youzhou City, and Minzhong Temple was built." At that time, the scale of the construction was grand, and it was completed in the first year of Wu Zetian's longevity, which lasted fifty-one years.  Unfortunately, in the second year of Zhonghe period of the Tang Dynasty, it was destroyed by fire and all the pagodas and pavilions were gone.  In the early years of Jingfu, Li Kuangcheng, the governor of Jiedu, rebuilt it. He built a huge three-story pavilion to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva. There is a saying that "the high pavilion of mercy and loyalty can be grasped by the sky", which shows how tall it is.  But in the third year of Qingning in the Liao Dynasty, the whole temple was destroyed again due to the earthquake in Youzhou, and was later ordered to be restored.  What Heavenly Master Wen Da sees now is the Minzhong Temple that was restored in the third year of Qingning.  In modern time and space, the Damizhong Temple was destroyed by war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and its grandeur and splendor were gone forever.  In the second year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty, the temple's monks and ministers' road was rebuilt and renamed "Chongfu Temple".  In the 12th year of Emperor Yongzheng's reign in the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed "Fayuan Temple" and has been in use until the 21st century.  It was at the southern end of Jiaozi Hutong outside Yuxuanwumen in the later capital city.  Celestial Master Wen Da once passed by this temple in modern time and space. Although Fayuan Temple in modern time and space is the seat of the Chinese Buddhist Academy, it is just an ordinary garland. The temple is small and mean. Fortunately, the courtyard is still quiet with green vines.  What is even more unexpected is the Jingkang Incident. The Jin Dynasty destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty and sent prisoners back to the north. The two emperors, Song Huizong and his son Song Qinzong, were detained in the Daminzhong Temple in front of them.  ?Thousands of years are fascinating!  But now that Master Wen is standing here, all history will change.  "What are you doing?" The monks in the temple, wearing left-sided monk robes, blocked the way of Master Wen Da in disgust: "This is a place for worshiping Buddha. Although you are allowed to break in?" Taoist priests in the Liao Kingdom are rare to see. These monks  He didn't recognize him. Instead, he recognized Master Wen as a refugee and wanted to drive Master Wen away.  There have been many refugees in the city recently, and the temple has always been on alert, fearing that these refugees might break in.  Wen Fei ignored him and waved his sleeves.  Before several monks could touch Master Wen's clothes, they all fell out and rolled to the ground, unable to get up.  Heavenly Master Wen Da didn't even look at the monks, broke into the temple, and searched everywhere.  But I couldn't find the tablets where Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty enshrined those fallen soldiers, and I couldn't help but sigh.  It feels boring in my heart, and I want to leave with a wave of my sleeves.  But I heard a call from the Buddha: "Amitabha, good, good, good. Last night, the poor monk dreamed that the gods and Buddhas were coming, and the sky was raining precious flowers. He never thought that today he would be able to see his heavenly master, the light of his celestial toes, descending. I, the whole family of Minzhong Temple, are extremely honored.  Wen Fei looked back and saw a monk in his forties with a fat head and big ears. His face was red and he was smiling, as if he was really happy for the arrival of Master Wen.  "Wuna Bald Donkey, do you know this Heavenly Master?" Wen Fei asked.  The monk gave a wry smile and said: "The Heavenly Master is a man among gods and immortals, comparable to me and the Buddha. If this temple had not been under the nose of the Khitan people, we would have wanted to erect a statue of Heavenly Master Shangfu!" "Oh?" Wen Fei  He said lightly, just by saying this.  Heavenly Master Wen Da knew how panicked people were in Youzhou now.  Even these monks are beginning to look for a way out.  Of course, this also requires that the monk is not lying to him.  "Back then, this temple was established when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty personally conquered Korea to support the fallen soldiers. But I don't know where the gods of these fallen soldiers are?" Wen Fei asked noncommittally.  When the host heard this, he immediately became very happy and said: "It turns out that Father Shang came here for this reason. He is still here, still here!" "Take me to see it," said Heavenly Master Wen Da.  "Father Shang, please come with me, please come with me!" the host said hurriedly.  Along the way through this main hall, there are three entrances to Minzhong Temple. When you walk out of the last courtyard, you will find an inconspicuous and desolate hill, with houses that have been in disrepair.  "Amitabha," the host announced the Buddha's name.  He said to Wen Fei: "The bones of these soldiers were buried here. This was the seal of the year. It was originally shaped like Changbai Mountain. After hundreds of years, the wind and rain have turned it into??Looks like this!  " Wen Fei nodded. This is the custom of tombs of famous generals. It seems that it originated in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when the tomb of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing symbolized Lushan and Qilian Mountains, and represented the achievements of these two famous generals. Huo Qubing  His contribution lies in the two wars in Hexi, and the Qilian Mountain is its symbol. Wei Qing's famous battle is the Battle of Lucheng. It seems that Emperor Taizong followed the old example and built the tombs of these fallen soldiers into the shape of Changbai Mountain.  Conquest of Goryeo (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
