Chapter 36 35. Buying my head for 100,000 silver can really be a sin against me and also a bosom friend

At a time of turmoil, Yuan Shikai promoted the establishment of "deliberative bureaus" to the whole country eight years ago, and it has achieved results. The military governments established by the rebels in various places mostly relied on the local deliberative bureaus and consciously listened to the opinions of the gentry.The gentry-army alliance, where the gentry is above the army, is the guarantee of public security. The destructive forces are associations, such as the Gelaohui and the Triad Association. Because they helped the revolutionary party, after the establishment of the Provisional Government of the Republic of China in Nanjing, they claimed to be heroes of the revolution and wreaked havoc in the countryside.

There are no political parties in Tianjin, and the Green Gang is entrenched in the river outside the city, monopolizing the human resources for transporting official food. Because they rely on officials for food, they have a certain degree of self-discipline, and there are no signs of entering the city.It is also in the river outside the city that gangsters blackmail vegetable farmers and fishermen. Since the establishment of the Samurai Association, troubles in the city have become less and less. After the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, most of the riots started from gangsters looting shops in Manchuria.Li Zunwu met and negotiated with Hu Lintan, and Hu Lintan stated: "I am used to eating twists and sesame cakes made by Tianjin Manchurians, and I am not willing to harm them."

The streets of Tianjin are safe and sound. There are only a dozen or so members of the Samurai Association, and they have formed an alliance with Tianjin's own "gangzifang".Bangzifang is a self-organized group of young people who work out with stone locks, pimps, and bars. There is one room in a few streets, and there are eight or nine people in each room.The samurai will rely on the pole to obtain information and respond to emergencies on the street. Yang Anxin followed Yuan Shikai back and went to the capital.At the end of January 1912, a telegram invited Li Zunwu to come to Beijing to join forces with warriors from the capital to stabilize the streets in accordance with the model of the Tianjin Samurai Association.

Li Zunwu didn't move the team of the Samurai Club, and only took Akezhan Laoyu and Tao Qichang away.When Hu Lintan got the news, he sent someone to bring a farewell gift, a box of rock sugar twists, and a pack of sesame biscuits, expressing that he would abide by the previous agreement. On the day before his departure, Li Zunwu had a big pot meal with the warriors, showing that the brothers are of one mind.Fried rice with diced meat and eggs is greasy and mushy. After eating, I stand against the wind and feel full of energy. There is a train between Beijing and Tianjin. Before entering the station, Akezhan Laoyu said: "Brother Li, I won't accompany you in. I'm going to change a ticket for going south."

He is a Manchu character who seeks perfection in everything and makes difficult choices. If he procrastinates until now, he will definitely be tortured by this decision.Li Zunwu didn't ask the reason, knowing that he would say it out of guilt. Akezhan Laoyu: "Manchurians were killed more in Hankou, and more were killed in Xi'an..." The fingers holding the bamboo pole rattled. Li Zunwu: "Are you going to Hankou?" Akezhan Laoyu: "If you can survive, then go to Xi'an." Li Zunwu turned around and entered the station. The waiting room was overcrowded, so he used a ruler knife to explore an open space and stood there one step at a time. Tao Qichang hurriedly followed with his suitcase.Li Zunwu: "Leave my box, you go with Lao Yu."

Tao Qichang: "He went, in order to save the Manchus on the street, he would fight against the Han people. What should I do? Should I help the Han people, or help him?" Li Zunwu: "I didn't ask you to help him, but to bring his body back." How can a bamboo pole defeat the mob in the street?Martial arts are only effective in the world of warriors.Life is as fragile as silk, and it will be broken if you pull it. Tao Qichang was silent.Alas, one year is too short, his martial arts has not improved much, and his mind is not bright. Finally speaking, with a special voice after being shocked: "How do you go to Beijing by yourself?"

Li Zunwu: "You will only see the knife when you are hit by the knife. When you can't see it, it's a good time. Understand?" And silent. Li Zunwu roared: "Don't talk too much! Let's go!" The box fell to the ground with a thud, and Tao Qichang was already five steps away.There were seven or eight people crowded in the middle, how did he get through?Li Zunwu smiled. He still learned something. Yang Anxin lives in the old house in Bingjiao Hutong, but he is not in a hurry to find him.First go to Xuanwumen Church, the gatekeeper of the church asked how to notify, Li Zunwu: "Brother."

The ear-piercing sound of chair legs rubbing against the floor made the janitor's knee muscles cramp and he stood up like a spring.Eight years ago, a man who called himself "Senior Brother" stabbed Father Shen Fanghu, who was regarded as a saint. Li Zunwu: "Don't shout, don't move. I won't hurt anyone." The ruler stabbed him out like a snake's head and stunned him. The path is familiar. After a hundred steps, there is water vapor and floral fragrance. He is still in the greenhouse.In my feelings, I am much older, with a faint smell of not taking a bath for a long time.He was tinkering with a flowerpot, exchanging soil for a flower.The soil is rotten, but it is fragrant.

He knelt at the end of the corridor in the greenhouse, stopped suddenly, and said, "Brother." Li Zunwu stopped, ten meters away: "I'm here to get the sword." Eight years ago, the Fengju sword pierced into his lower abdomen.The two exchanged swords and made a pact, Shen Fanghu's sword was taken away by Li Zunwu, and when he came to get Fengju sword, it was the day when the competition was completed. Shen Fanghu got up and rubbed off the soil particles in his hands. Li Zunwu: "I have lost your snake scale sword." On Zhongnan Mountain, he threw the sword to Kuang Enrao, in the pain of letting his wife go, forgetting the promise of life and death.

Shen Fanghu: "I snatched that sword originally, and what belongs to a person is snatched, what is a person's?" Lost for a moment, "I can change some, I can use a ruler knife." The sleeves of the robe swelled, and something flew out and pierced Li Zunwu's face. Li Zunwu raised his ruler and knife like a fisherman raising his pole.The thing sticks to the tip of the knife, rotates it twice, slides obediently, and slides close to the handle. Li Zunwu grabs it, it is the Fengju sword as short as a forearm. It has been hidden in the sleeve of the Shenfang pot for many years, influenced by the skin, it has no murderous aura, and its whole body is full of vitality, just like a baby.

The tip of the ruler knife landed on the ground, the blade was kicked, the handle was facing forward, and flew towards the sinking square pot.Shen Fanghu accurately grasped the handle of the knife, and then shook his wrist, like a washerwoman shaking her clothes by the river, to shake off the momentum. Changing swords is to spy on each other's martial arts.Eight years have passed, and the two have mastered their strength to perfection. Shen Fanghu smiled, and the compassionate and generous laughter when preaching in the church: "I am dying, you have to do something for me." Li Zunwu sighed: "I'm dead, you also help me with something." Neither of them had the confidence to win. Shen Fanghu: "I'm a junior, let me tell you first. After I die, help me preach for three years." Li Zunwu said in surprise: "How can it be? I don't understand." Shen Fanghu smiled and said: "Senior brother, think about it, we learned from the master, and the formulas given by the master are only a few sentences in total? We all practice and comprehend them by ourselves, and supplement them richly and subtlely. The teachings are the same. If you add it yourself, you will be very impressed, and you will not be able to finish it in three years." Wearing crystal glasses, he didn't see that I was blind. Refusing to sit and talk in the spacious area of ​​the conservatory, Li Zunwu knelt down on the spot and asked him to come over. Shen Fanghu squatted down, and the two faced each other.When they were young, the two often squatted together, each holding a bamboo stick, torturing a meat worm.The meat worms were finally stabbed to death intensively with bamboo sticks.At the beginning of human beings, they are always tyrannical and cruel. Shen Fanghu pulled out something from his robe, and it sounded like a card: "Brother, what do you think this is?" Li Zunwu bowed his head to the card, pretending to see it: "It's so strange." Shen Fanghu: "The symbol of God is the cross. This symbol was added after 1793. It is the heart of Jesus, called the Sacred Heart." In 1789, a revolution broke out in France, and the bourgeoisie overthrew the feudal aristocracy.In 1793, King Louis XVI was executed and France became a republic.Archbishop Gilbert of Paris said: "Neither God nor history promised immortality to the republic." In terms of doctrine, the original sin of human beings is the unfaithfulness of the ancestors Adam and Eve. As a human being, at least one dishonesty will be done, because the bodies of Adam and Eve are copied, and the original sin is also copied. "The revolution of 1789 was the original sin of public life." Bishop Biai of Poitiers, France said. The revolution brought universal hatred and an ethic of revenge, and both revolutions and counter-revolutions killed on a mass scale.People who had blood feuds with each other after the revolution could not pretend that nothing had happened, so the faith of the Sacred Heart - the national confession of "giving France to the Sacred Heart", an unblameable and unforgivable relationship between all classes Under the premise, through the whole society's overall confession, the sense of guilt will be dispelled and public life will be rebuilt. The ideal republic is to share power, and the historical republic is to share blood debts.Dilute class differences—become public morality, the core concept of popular literature and popular drama. "Original sin means that it cannot be washed away. After being covered up and delayed, it will still erupt repeatedly. In human history, only the Virgin Mary has washed away original sin. It has never been done before, and it will not happen in the future." Shen Fanghu's sad tone gave birth A trace of warmth. Li Zunwu: "Since the original sin cannot be washed away, what is the point of all efforts?" Shen Fanghu: "People cannot be perfected in the world, but human perfection is in heaven. Louis XVI was guillotined, a thief's death method, and he was extremely humiliated as a king. But he created the public life of France in the future. From this point of view, he is a great king again." The concept of national penance was invented by Louis XVI.As a new religious symbol, the Sacred Heart was only spread among a few nuns and farmers at first.When Louis XVI was imprisoned, he made a wish to dedicate France to the Sacred Heart, and spread this wish out of prison. The prison where he was held became what the peasants called a "temple".After dying on the guillotine, some citizens held a cloth dipped in blood and collected it as a saint's relic. Shen Fanghu: "The Wuchang new army uprising initially had very low demands. If the Qing court changed the imperial system to a constitutional monarchy, the war could be ceased. Later, the leaders of overseas revolutionary parties returned to China, and there was no such thing as a constitutional monarchy. We only talked about a republic." Li Zunwu: "Will China become France?" Shen Fanghu: "If I die today, after the revolution, you can help me advise the government—like the Sacred Heart of France, invent whatever you want. National repentance is a must for society to start again." Li Zunwu: "It's just these? Needless to say three years." Shen Fanghu: "Do you know what is written at the entrance of hell? I was also created by eternal love - this is the record in ancient Greek books. A glimpse of understanding before the wicked go to hell to suffer - how can it not make people feel palpitations? Many years Before, the shocking power of this sentence made me believe that God is merciful, and the world was created with mercy. Only after seeing more things in the world did I realize that this sentence is literature, not truth.” As a top student at the Manila Theological Seminary and a saint of the Beijing Church, he is entitled to read the heretical documents collected by the church, which are strictly forbidden for ordinary priests to read.Among the piles of old papers that smelled of decay, he found the "Nagamadi Collection". In the fourth century AD, the church burned down the library of Alexandria, which had the most concentrated collection of ancient documents.This is an indefensible anti-intellectual movement in the history of the church, a permanent stain.The reason for setting the fire was to burn the "Nagamadi Collected Works" which could not be found in the vast collection of books. What he saw was a sixteenth-century manuscript, perhaps forged by a later bookseller, and the content was astonishing enough to reinterpret Genesis. Only God has the power to create the world, but the world was not created by God, but by a usurper.The usurper is an evil spirit, so evil is not a mistake, but the nature of the world. Classical art eulogizes the beauty of nature, because the world is inherently good and is the manifestation of God. "Collected Works" points out that the world has nothing to do with God, the beauty of nature is a deception of evil spirits, and the nature of nature is terrifying and evil.Heaven and hell are also illusions of this evil. All philosophers and artists are liars of evil spirits. Li Zunwu caught up with the train of thought: "You have two points that cannot be justified. If everything is created by evil spirits, why do people feel pain, and where does the little goodness in their hearts come from? Where is the usurped God?" "Collected Works—Don't use one article to express the whole point of view, use dozens of articles to express a little bit, so as not to be too clear, and the author is persecuted. Where is the usurped God? God turned into a human being and is confused, God Trapped here." The ruler knife swung out, smashing a flower pot behind him, and the debris flew like hail. "God cannot return to God. Once a flowerpot is broken, it cannot be restored. The fragments on the ground are just fragments, not flowerpots. God is irreversible—a truth that cannot be said at once." "There are still loopholes. Why is God confused? Since he is God, how can he be trapped by evil spirits?" "The orthodox doctrine is like this. It believes that everything has a source, that is, God. The evil spirits are also created by God, and God is the most powerful. Never think that the source is not one, but two - evil spirits and God, In this relationship, God is the weak one." Shen Fanghu laughed. A smile that can comfort all living beings, what a virtuous and respectable image it should be on the pulpit of the church. "In the year of Gengzi, the Eight-Power Allied Forces burned, killed, raped and plundered the capital. Why do foreigners who believe in the goodness of the world do evil? After thinking for twelve years, there is no answer, unless the world is evil. I really want to die today, and pass on this teaching by your mouth .” In the blind eyes is the incised lower body of the Virgin of the Golden Knife, and a purple gold Buddha statue is in the flesh and blood that blooms like peony petals.After the foreign soldiers raped her, they stuffed her inside.Her naked body writhed on the ground, like a flesh worm poked by a bamboo stick... A line of turbid tears flowed from behind the crystal lens: "I can't bear to pass on the meaning of despair." "Perhaps it is the truth?" "The truth doesn't keep life going, you told the story of the Sacred Heart." Shen Fanghu sighed: "I don't force it. Tell me what you entrusted to me." Wipe off the tears on the cheeks, the back of the hand is fishy, ​​I am really old, and the taste of tears is also bad: "Zhongnanshan, the place where Master took you to live for eight years, there lived a woman, if I die today, send me Give her the body." Shen Fanghu: "Is it your wife?" Li Zunwu suddenly became murderous, and the Fengju sword came out of its sheath. The tip of the ruler knife scratched a long mark on the wall, Shen Fanghu used the force of scratching the wall to wipe the ground seven feet horizontally in a lying position, and the flight path went through three turns. Just as he was about to stand up, his back hit the ground heavily, and something was nailed into his chest. Li Zunwu took small steps and chased after him in a squatting posture, and accurately inserted the Fengju sword into the substernal socket of Shen Fanghu, piercing his stomach and back. The fingers holding the hilt of the sword are numb. The original intention of the martial arts competition was to use him to prove his martial arts. For him and himself, the promise of life and death was just an excuse to meet old friends. Stomach blood welled up and flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Shen Fanghu could not speak clearly: "The place where I stabbed Cheng Huaan to death was the roof of No. 6 Xixinlianzi Hutong, Neihepingmen. There are two locust trees and two peach trees, and every year on the anniversary of Lao Cheng's death, they will climb the wall and cross the roof tiles, and climb to the top to worship him." Li Zunwu revived his fingers, and withdrew from the hilt like a fire. Regret is close to death... No, no, according to the martial arts shown when throwing the sword and catching it, he shouldn't be so helpless... Li Zunwu: "Do you see that I am blind?" Shen Fanghu spat out a mouthful of blood, and couldn't hide his laughter: "The president of the Tianjin Warrior Association is an old blind man, who doesn't know?" Li Zunwu sighed for his stupidity. He didn't lose in martial arts, but in judgment.Thinking that a blind person must not be able to keep up with his complicated abduction, he thought he was calm and got up half a beat late. Unexpectedly, the blind can't hear the turning point, only the landing point.Li Zunwu came straight. Shen Fanghu raised his hand and pointed backward: "Give it to me!" His breath was cut off suddenly, and his hand dropped. Li Zunwu seized it hurriedly, touched his hand along his arm, followed the direction of his hand, and found a half-foot-high porcelain statue fifteen steps away.Hold it up and down, and you know it is the statue of the Virgin Mary. Adam failed God because of Eve, and man was wronged because of woman.Defining the Virgin Mary as the only person without original sin reveals the next step of God's plan.Mankind is redeemed through women. The porcelain statue is placed in the hand of Shen Fanghu. There was no strength to hold the hand, and the porcelain statue slid down. Close to hand, like a couple sleeping side by side.
