Chapter 2 Chapter Two

Di Qing desperately captured Zhao Wude, but he was seriously injured.He knew that he was definitely no match for Suoming and the stick, so he desperately endured the guns and sticks and restrained Zhao Wude. When everyone looked at Di Qing again, they were all in awe.They had heard that Di Qing was good at fighting, but at first they only thought that he was just a street gangster. How could they have thought that it was this gangster who killed Suo Ming, repelled the stick, and captured Zhao Wude in front of them! Zhao Wude was so frightened that his legs trembled a long time ago. Hearing Di Qing's threat, he said in a trembling voice: "Di Qing...Master Di...My ancestor, don't kill me."

Di Qing sneered and said, "Don't kill you? Give me a reason!" Zhao Wude thought for a long time, and then said: "I have money, and I can give you a lot of money. Don't you want Xiaoqing? You idiots, what are you still doing? Go and bring Xiaoqing here!" In order to save his life, he Suddenly he became wiser, and the steward of the car hurried to the firewood room. Seeing this, Di Qing shouted: "Prepare two fast horses for me!" Zhao Wude nodded in agreement, and cursed: "You slaves, hurry up and prepare the horse for Lord Di." Although he wanted to cut Di Qing into pieces, his life was the most important thing at this time, so he obeyed Di Qing's words.

The inner courtyard was full of noise. Zhao County Magistrate knew something was going on here, so he rushed to see Di Qing holding his precious son, and shouted: "Di Qing! Are you going to rebel? Let him go!" The imperial army also rushed over one after another, and the leader was Mr. Guo. Master Guo raised his eyebrows when he saw everything in the courtyard, obviously surprised to see Di Qing here.There were forbidden troops who were about to step forward, Master Guo waved his hand, and those people suddenly stopped.Seeing this, Di Qing groaned in his heart, thinking to himself that Mr. Guo is extremely capable, and with the addition of these forbidden soldiers, it would be extremely difficult for him to escape.

At this time, the car steward brought Xiaoqing over, "My lord, Xiaoqing brought it." Xiao Qing has a beautiful face, seeing the situation in the courtyard, she understood everything, and cried, "Di Qing, why are you so stupid?" She always regarded Di Qing as her own younger brother, seeing Di Qing like this, she only hated herself for having troubled the Di brothers . Of course the county magistrate Zhao knew his son's behavior, when he saw Xiaoqing's disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, he knew what was going on, and secretly scolded the car steward for being like a pig's head, for actually giving someone a slap in the face.He stepped forward and slapped the housekeeper on the face, cursing: "What's going on?"The car steward covered his face and said, "My lord...this...that..."

County magistrate Zhao ignored the steward Che and said to Di Qing: "Di Qing, this is the county government office. Don't make mistakes. Let Zhao Wude go, and I will deal with it fairly. If you make mistakes again and again, your family members will inevitably be punished. implicated." He put Xiaoqing's matter aside, threatening in his persuasion, thinking that as soon as Di Qing released him, he would be taken to the county jail, his legs were broken, his tendons were picked, and then he said that he Die suddenly, and everything will pass. Di Qing sneered and said, "If you are really fair, why should I come here? Your son robbed a civilian girl and broke my elder brother's leg. Why don't you tell me now how to deal with it fairly?"

County Magistrate Zhao's face darkened and said: "Di Qing, so you plan to resist to the end?" Seeing that two people had covered Di Qing's back, he suddenly waved his hands and said, "Take it!" Those two people were about to step forward, but Di Qing had noticed behind him long ago, and flew out with a kick, hitting one of them in the chest.The man yelled and flew out Zhang Xu.The other person backed away again and again in fright, not daring to make another move.With a movement of Di Qing's wrist, the long sword had drawn blood on Zhao Wude's neck, and he shouted: "County Zhao! Since you don't want your son's life, then let's fight to the death!"

Seeing the bleeding, Zhao Wude almost fainted, and shouted loudly, "Daddy save me!" County magistrate Zhao shouted anxiously, "Di Qing! Don't do anything, it's easy to discuss." Mr. Guo seemed to be watching a play, "Magistrate Zhao, what's going on, I'm interested to hear." County magistrate Zhao was stunned, and said with an apologetic smile: "Master Guo, this is just a trivial matter, so I don't need to trouble you. Please go to the front hall to drink first, and the next official will come after dealing with the matter here."

Although County Magistrate Zhao is a local tyrant, he dared not offend Mr. Guo at all. It turned out that Lord Guo was called Guo Zun. He was originally the commander in front of the palace in the capital.This time Guo Zun came to Fenzhou, saying that he wanted to select manpower to supplement the imperial army.The magistrate did not dare to be negligent, and asked all the counties under the prefecture to cooperate fully. Guo Zun wandered around the counties, and ran to Xihe during this period. Of course, County Magistrate Zhao didn't dare to offend this person, he deliberately flattered him, served as an accompaniment to the wine, and also managed the guards, all he wanted was to be safe and sound.How could he have thought that his ineffective son would cause such a big disaster, and he wanted to cover it up, but he couldn't do anything about it.Zhao county magistrate secretly made up his mind that after this matter was settled, he would definitely prepare a generous gift for Guo Zun, just to save money and avoid disaster.

Seeing Magistrate Zhao's evasion, Guo Zun said calmly, "This is not a small matter, it seems to be a big one. Actually, I can help a little..." He casually glanced at Di Qing with a smile on his lips.At this time, a guard hurried over and whispered a few words in Guo Zun's ear. Guo Zun's face changed slightly and he frowned. The magistrate of Zhao County said happily after hearing the words: "How dare you trouble Mr. Guo?" Feeling that Guo Zun was on his side, he gained confidence and shouted: "Di Qing! Mr. Guo is here in the middle of the capital. If you don't hurry up and arrest him, if you do it again Resist, even if you escape from Xihe County, you will be a fugitive with your elder brother for the rest of your life!"

Di Qing's heart moved slightly, and he thought to himself that what Magistrate Zhao said was right, although he was going to flee to the end of the world, but what about elder brother and Xiao Qing, would they have to live in fear for the rest of their lives?He was impulsive and only thought of this solution, but when he saw Guo Zun looking at him with a smile, he suddenly had an idea and said, "Master Guo, I want to join the army!" Mr. Guo seems to be a good official, so I should ask him for protection in order to wash away my elder brother's grievances.You can ask for help, the first condition is of course to join the Forbidden Army.

Everyone was startled, they didn't expect Di Qing to say this at this time.Magistrate Zhao sneered and said, "Di Qing, are you crazy? What do you think you are, that you want to join the Forbidden Army?" Guo Zun laughed: "A man keeps his word, Di Qing, you have to remember what you said." Di Qing nodded and said, "I have absolutely no lies." Seeing that Guo Zun really wanted to agree to Di Qing, County Magistrate Zhao couldn't help but said anxiously: "Master Guo, how did this happen? Di Qing is extremely vicious. He is a villain who threatens a dog. He must not be let go!" Guo Zundao: "That's right, if you're a wicked person, of course you can't let him go." After he finished speaking, he suddenly took a step forward, shouted loudly, and grabbed someone. Everyone was shocked again, it turned out that what Guo Zun was dealing with was not Di Qing, but the stick beside him. The stick was startled suddenly, he didn't expect Guo Zun to attack him, but this man had some skills after all, the long stick trembled and hit Guo Zun's arms, chest and ribs repeatedly.This trick is full of shadows and changes in all directions. County magistrate Zhao said in horror: "Gou, are you crazy? Don't stop!" Before he finished speaking, Guo Zun had already snatched the long stick.With a click, the bone in the stick's chest was broken, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, flying out backwards.As soon as it landed on the ground, the stick turned over and jumped up, wanting to climb over the wall and walk away.Unexpectedly, Guo Zun stepped forward, and the long stick swept out, hitting the stick's calf.The stick screamed and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.Guo Zun took the long stick and shouted, "Take it!" A long time ago, the imperial guards stepped forward, unsheathed their long knives, and put them on the neck of the stick.County magistrate Zhao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, he kept shouting: "Master Guo, you...you took the wrong person." Guo Zun looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "It's definitely not wrong. I heard that there is another person here." He glanced at the faces of all the nursing homes. . Suddenly, a person sprang up from the crowd, and suddenly reached the bottom of the wall, turned over again, and jumped out of the wall.Seeing this, several forbidden soldiers immediately followed and jumped over the wall.Guo Zun didn't move, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.Everyone exclaimed, just because they found out that the person who jumped over the wall and left was actually the car steward, they couldn't believe their eyes for a while.This car steward has always been a frail scholar, how could he have such skills? County magistrate Zhao already felt that something was wrong, sweat rolled down his forehead, he stammered, "Master Guo... this... what's going on here?" Guo Zun turned to Di Qing and said, "Di Qing, let go of Zhao Wude." Di Qing hesitated, and finally dropped his sword on the ground.Seeing this, Guo Zun said: "Tie it up." Some forbidden soldiers came forward and tied up one person in five ways. Everyone almost fainted. It turned out that it was not Di Qing who was tied up by the forbidden soldiers, but Zhao Wude.County Magistrate Zhao became anxious, and stepped forward and said, "Master Guo, you are wrong! You are wrong!" Guo Zun said coldly: "Magistrate Zhao, do you know who Stick, Suoming and Steward Che are?" County Magistrate Zhao asked blankly, "They... who are they?" Guo Zun snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to grab the hem of the stick's chest, and tore his hem open, revealing his chest, where he saw a big "Fu" character tattooed on it.Everyone was at a loss and did not understand what it meant, but Zhao County Magistrate shouted: "He is a member of the Maitreya sect!" Guo Zun sneered and said, "That's right. These three people are worshipers of the Maitreya Sect and want to rebel. I came to Fenzhou this time, and in the name of recruiting, I actually wanted to investigate the Maitreya Sect. Zhao Wenguang, you hide this kind of person In the mansion, you still dare to say that I am wrong?" He called Zhao County Magistrate by name, because he no longer regarded him as a county magistrate. Zhao County Magistrate was sweating profusely, and hurriedly fell to his knees and said, "Master Guo, I really don't know this, please... please... deal with it fairly." The feng shui took turns, the county magistrate Zhao was still arrogant just now, but now he was trembling like leaves falling in the autumn wind.Di Qing was secretly surprised that he didn't know the origin of the Maitreya Sect, which made Magistrate Zhao so terrified. Guo Zundao: "How to deal with it is up to the Criminal Court. Come here! Detain Zhao Wenguang." Some guards stepped forward and detain Zhao's father and son. Seeing this, the messengers did not dare to stop them.Guo Zun said again: "Li Jian, can you inform the Zhizhou here?" A forbidden army stood up and said: "Report to the commander, someone has already gone to report, presumably Zhizhou will arrive soon." Guo Zun nodded, walked up to Di Qing and said: "Take people back. Remember what you said , Find me here in three days.” Di Qing narrowly escaped death, confused, and asked: "Master Guo, my elder brother..." "What's wrong with your elder brother?" Guo Zun asked puzzled. Di Qing hurriedly told about Di Yun, and said nervously, "I'm afraid I'll hurt my elder brother." Guo Zun laughed, "Don't worry, the person you killed just now was a member of the Maitreya Sect. You are not only right As for your holding Zhao Wude hostage...he deserved to die, how can it be a trivial matter to hide a rebel? His father and son will be assassinated if they don’t beheaded, so your elder brother doesn’t have to flee.” After whispering a few times, Guo Zun's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Okay, I'll be there right away." He looked at Di Qing, and said, "I'll be waiting for you in three days." Di Qing nodded, and seeing Guo Zun leave, he just sat down on the ground, thinking about what happened just now like a dream. Xiaoqing stepped forward to bandage Di Qing's wound, choked with sobs and said, "Di Qing, I'm sorry for you." Di Qing remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Xiaoqing, you must not tell my elder brother about my military service." Xiao Qing was slightly stunned: "Then how can we hide it from him?" She already knew that Di Qing had joined the army in exchange for the happiness of Di Yun and her, and she was inexplicably grateful. Di Qing looked up at the sky, seeing that the wind was light and cloudless, he said helplessly, "Let's keep it a day." Three days passed quickly, and Di Qing was frowning, unable to think of an excuse to leave home.Di Qing knew that his eldest brother only hoped that he could be an honest man, and if he found out that he was a soldier, he would probably be sad again. After Zhao County Magistrate and his son subdued the law, Di Qing led Xiao Qing to Yangyangpo.Di Yun had already woken up at that time, knowing that Di Qing had gone to the county government for him, he was surprised and worried, forcing Niu Zhuang to take him to the county government.When Niu Zhuang was helpless, Di Qing and Xiao Qing finally arrived. Di Yun was both surprised and happy. Di Qing only said that he had met a good official, and that not only was he not at fault, but he had some credit. After hearing this, Di Yun wanted to scold Di Qing, but seeing that his younger brother was covered in blood and his shoulder was wounded, it was because of him that he was suffering so much, how could he bear to say anything else?Di Yun was glad that nothing happened at last, he just felt that his ancestors had accumulated virtue, so he took Di Qing to offer incense and pray in front of his parents' graves.After this incident, Zhang Tiejiang was afraid that his daughter would not be able to get married, so he changed his miserly nature and urged Di Yun to marry Xiaoqing as soon as possible. He only discussed the time for a cup of tea, and decided to arrange a wedding the next day. Although Di Yun was lame, he was blessed by misfortune, and of course he was extremely happy.Di Qing and Niu Zhuang started preparations immediately, Di's family was poor, although the preparations were hasty, but they were full of red and colorful decorations, and they were quite happy. After a busy night, Di Qing finally arranged the house properly. Before dawn, he chopped firewood that would last for several months. Then he sat in the courtyard and stared blankly at the sky. He's leaving, he can't break his promise.What's more, he suddenly discovered that there is a wider sky outside, which is obviously a great temptation for him.But his elder brother is lame, how can he leave his elder brother with peace of mind? Footsteps sounded, but Di Qing didn't look back, knowing that it was the elder brother who came over.Di Yun walked up to Di Qing, sat on the steps with him, was silent for a while, and said, "Brother, do you still remember a sentence that Dad taught us?" "What?" Di Qing asked casually. "He said that the most important thing in life is the word 'faith'." Di Yun said slowly, "One cannot be without faith, otherwise there will be no way to gain a foothold in the world." Di Qing was full of thoughts, and said: "That's right, not only my father taught us this way, but also my elder brother taught me this way all the time, I never dare to forget it." "So...you should go." Di Yun took Di Qing's hand and put something in his hand.Seeing that it was ingots of silver, Di Qing was startled and said, "Go? Where are you going?" Di Yun smiled and said: "Go to the place you promised to go." Di Qing came to his senses and said, "Brother, you know everything?" Di Yun said: "Xiaoqing told me everything, don't blame her. I think It turns out that you don’t want to lose your trust. Big brother didn’t want you to join the army at the beginning because he saw too much mischief by sergeants and didn’t want you to be contaminated with those gangsters. But now I know that eagles have their own places to go, and they can’t be like poultry The same is kept in the courtyard. Di Qing, when you grow up, you know what is right and what is wrong, so the elder brother is relieved. The elder brother has no savings, only this little money, you take it with you on the road, don’t refuse, listen to the elder brother .” Di Qing held the silver ingot tightly, with a sore nose, "Brother, but..." "But what? Although I'm lame, it's not a problem to support my family." Di Yun said with a smile, "You can go at ease, don't worry about me. I heard that Zhao's father and son were both imprisoned and sent to Fenzhou Prison. Don't make it difficult for us anymore. Brother, you have to take good care of yourself when you are away from home. Remember, if there is any difficulty, there will always be your home here. " Di Qing belatedly said: "Then we have to wait until we get the bride." Di Yun smiled and said, "Okay." But when he turned his head, he couldn't help wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. They have been brothers for many years, Di Qing left, Di Yun was deeply reluctant, but he saw Di Qing's embarrassment, he knew that his younger brother had greater ambitions, so there was not much he could do, he just asked himself not to drag his younger brother down. When the bride entered, Di Qing had already embarked on an unknown journey.He only carried a simple burden, a few changes of clothes and a little dry food.He still put the ingot of silver in the elder brother's room.He didn't know that when he resolutely left, Di Yun had already found the ingot of silver, and couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes. Di Qing strode away and reached a place where the eldest brother could no longer see, then turned around and bowed three times in the direction of home, and said, "Big brother, I will not let you down, take care of yourself." When Di Qing arrived at the county government office, he saw a forbidden army guarding the door, clasped his fists and said, "This official elder brother, I'm going down to Di Qing." The imperial army said: "You are Di Qing? Come in, Commander Guo is waiting for you." He led Di Qing into the yamen, Guo Zunzheng was sitting in the front hall, and a young man was sitting next to him. When Di Qing saw it, he felt that the young man was like an unsheathed sword!The young man's face was pale, and his eyes were as sharp as a sword's edge. He looked Di Qing up and down, slightly surprised, stood up and said to Guo Zun, "Commander Guo, I still need your help this time." Guo Zun nodded slowly and said, "Guo should do his best for important national affairs." The young man saluted again, turned and left.Only then did Di Qing breathe a sigh of relief. Being stared at by the young man, he felt uncomfortable all over, and couldn't help thinking about the young man's background. Guo Zun watched the young man leave, then turned to Di Qing and said, "You are indeed here." Di Qing saluted: "Since I agree, how can I not come?" Guo Zun praised and said: "Well said, my husband will do what he says. If he can't even keep a promise, how can he talk about protecting his family and the country? I, Guo, have never obeyed others in my life. In fact, the first time I saw you, I knew you were a talent to make. The method of pairing eyes is not something ordinary people can think of." Seeing that he saw through his cleverness, Di Qing smiled awkwardly.Before Guo Zun could say anything else, a forbidden soldier walked in and said in a low voice, "Master Guo, brothers are all ready." Guo Zun nodded and said, "Okay, let's go right away. Di Qing, are you ready?" Di Qing nodded without saying a word.Guo Zun saw what was on his mind, and said, "A man has ambitions everywhere. If you don't make a breakthrough while you are young, you will eventually regret it when you are old. Di Qing, I think you will not regret your choice today." After that he strode out of the county government office, there were already dozens of imperial guards waiting outside the gate, each of them followed by a horse. Guo Zun ordered someone to bring another horse over, and said to Di Qing, "Can you ride a horse?" Di Qing said, "I have ridden a cow." Guo Zun said with a smile: "That's about the same. When you arrive in the Xiaowu Army, you must not only know how to ride a horse, but also be the best. Get on the horse!" Everyone got on the horse and moved vigorously.Although Di Qing had never ridden a horse before, he was also nimble. When he got on the horse, he did not want to show weakness at all.Seeing this, Guo Zun nodded slightly, turned the horse's head, and galloped eastward first. This road actually ran for a hundred miles, and did not rest until the bank of Fenshui.It was the first time for Di Qing to run such a long distance when he left the West River. He couldn't help but look back, knowing that with every step he ran, he was taking a step away from his hometown and his elder brother, so he couldn't help but feel sad.He raised his head in a blink of an eye, thinking that what Guo Zun said was right, the man has ambitions everywhere, and he can't let others underestimate him. The crowd reached the bank of the Fen River, crossed the river by boat, and then ran all the way south for dozens of miles before stopping. Di Qing only thought that Guo Zun would turn southeast to the capital city of Kaifeng, but he didn't expect Guo Zun to order everyone to find a place where the Fen River was slightly shallower to cross the river again, but he ran back in the direction he came, taking all the remote mountain roads.Di Qing was puzzled and didn't understand where Guo Zun was going.Because from the point of view of the route, Guo Zun was completely going around in circles. If he traveled like this, wouldn't it be more enjoyable to go straight south from Xihe?But seeing that everyone was silent, he didn't ask any more questions, thinking to himself that you are in charge of food and shelter, and I will follow. Unexpectedly, everyone stayed overnight in the mountains that night, and took their own dry food from the burden, and ate it from the mountain spring.Di Qing's horse also had a bag, which contained dry food, bacon and preserved fruit.Di Qing was like a stuffed gourd. After eating dry food, he found hay and spread it in a dry place leeward of the mountain to rest.He was poor since he was a child, and he did not suffer from food, food and dew. In the middle of the night, Di Qing leaned against the mountain wall, looked at the starry sky, the Milky Way cut across the sky like a moat, and secretly thought about saying goodbye to his elder brother, and not knowing when we would see each other again.While thinking about it, he heard very light footsteps coming from the left, Di Qing felt a chill in his heart, turned his head and looked over, and saw Guo Zunzheng standing not far away looking at him. Di Qing got up slowly and said, "Master Guo, are you looking for me?" Guo Zun smiled and said: "You have good ears, and you are an embryo of martial arts. It is a pity that you lack the guidance of famous teachers, and your martial arts skills still need to be improved." Di Qing nodded: "My family is poor, so I can't afford Master." Guo Zun sat down and asked Di Qing to sit down as well, without discussing martial arts, he asked, "Have you ever heard of Maitreya teaching?" Di Qing said: "I have. But if the lord hadn't pointed out at the time, I would not have known that those people belonged to the Maitreya sect. But what happened to the Maitreya sect? It seems that the lord hates this sect very much?" Guo Zun sighed: "Have you heard the phrase 'Sakyamuni Buddha declines, Maitreya Buddha is in charge'?" Seeing Di Qing shaking his head, Guo Zun said with a smile: "Actually, after you left, I sent someone to investigate your life experience. I know that your family is poor and you are righteous, but you seldom go out to Xihe, so of course you don’t know many things, so I don’t need to ask.” Di Qing said ashamedly: "I'm just a brute force boy, I don't know much, I made adults laugh." Guo Zundao: "Who is born to understand this? Di Qing, you would rather laugh at a white-headed man than at a young man who is poor. I can see that you have ambition and integrity. If you can work hard, you will have a bright future." Di Qing was grateful, and said: "Thank you for the award, sir. Actually..." He wanted to say something, but finally held back. Guo Zun stared at him and said, "Actually what?" "Actually, it's nothing." Di Qing chuckled, "It's just a countryman's delusion." On the contrary, Guo Zun became interested, "Let's listen to it." Di Qing didn't know why Master Guo was so enthusiastic, and said awkwardly: "Actually, my mother has high expectations for me, always saying that I will be a prime minister in the future... She said that when she was young, she had a very clever magician for her. Meet her, and say she has a relationship with the prime minister." For some reason, Di Qing always felt that Guo Zun, like his elder brother, was already considered his relative, so he had no scruples in speaking out. Guo Zun opened his eyes wide and said, "Could it be that... your mother married a prime minister?" Di Qing shook his head and said: "That's not true. The magician said that my mother will give birth to a prime minister." Seeing Guo Zun's eyes staring like bull's eyes, Di Qing also found it funny, and said: "That's why my mother always said to me before she was alive, 'Son. , you have to work hard, don't just play all day long, you will be the prime minister's life in the future.' Hehe, I want to be a prime minister, but I don't like reading by nature, but I have let down my mother's good intentions. If you don't study, you won't be the number one. , how can you become prime minister?" Guo Zun turned his head, looked into the distance and said, "Then what kind of person is your father?" Di Qing said: "My father? He... has always been sick and never recovered. He passed away not long after I can remember. My mother worked hard to raise my brother, and she went too before I was an adult. Sigh , my eldest brother has worked hard all his life, being both a father and a mother, raising me, so I can't tolerate him being wronged." "So you have great respect for elder brother, and you have to settle with Zhao Wude even if you are desperate?" Guo Zun's voice was a little hoarse. Di Qing nodded seriously, "That's right, I only have this big brother! It doesn't matter if I suffer some humiliation, but I can't tolerate others bullying my big brother! My big brother is afraid that I will imitate the bad, and my mother said that there are few good soldiers in the army, so don't let me be a soldier." Bing...so a few days ago Master Guo recruited me to join the army, so I refused in every possible way." Guo Zun murmured: "So it's like this. There are few good soldiers?" The plum-like woman suddenly flashed in his mind and screamed at him, "Guo Zun, you are very capable, so what can I do? I will never like you in this life, and there is no good person in the army!" Guo Zun thought of this, with a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth. Di Qing consciously slipped his words, and hurriedly said: "Of course there are good people in the army, such as Mr. Guo." Changing the subject, he said, "Mr. Guo, what is going on with the Maitreya Sect? Are we going to arrest the Maitreya Sect this time?" ?” He vaguely saw something, so he made a guess. Guo Zun was silent for a long time, and finally said: "In fact, Maitreya religion has a long history. It was founded in the time of Emperor Wu of Liang, and it also developed in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Now there is a Maitreya Buddha in Daxiangguo Temple in the capital, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, sitting on the lotus platform. Maitreya There are four heavenly kings guarding the Buddha, who say they want to eradicate all evils in the world. The one holding the snake is called Guangmu Heavenly King, the one holding a big knife is called Chiguo Heavenly King, the one carrying a sword is called Zengzhang Heavenly King, and the one carrying an umbrella is called Duowen Heavenly King. " Di Qing was puzzled and wondered why Guo Zun would tell him this. Guo Zun raised his head to look at Mingyue, and at this moment the cold light shrouded his face, making him look full of fortitude.When Di Qing met him for the first time, he only thought that this grown-up was a bit rude, but later he gave him money to help him, and he felt that this man was straightforward and upright. Di Qing didn't know that Guo Zun came from a military family with both civil and military skills, but he unconsciously developed admiration for Guo Zun. Guo Zun said again: "It is said that the four heavenly kings protect Maitreya Buddha and eradicate the evil in the world. The original intention of this religion is good. But there is no crime in teaching, and the crime lies in people's hearts!" Guo Zun sighed, "Maitreya religion often Being used by people with ulterior motives caused great waves in the Northern Wei Dynasty and the end of the Sui Dynasty. By the time of this dynasty, the Maitreya Sect had already declined, but in recent days, the court found that someone was using the Maitreya Sect to confuse people and commit rebellion. "Sakyamuni Buddha declines, Maitreya Buddha is in charge", this sentence refers to the decline of Buddha Lord Sakyamuni, and Maitreya Buddha wants to lead everyone to open up another world. The meaning of rebellion is self-evident. The queen mother was furious when she heard this I ordered Kaifeng Prefecture to send people to investigate this matter, and I also want to assist in the investigation. Therefore, I obviously came to Fenzhou to recruit the forbidden army, but the real purpose was to investigate the distribution of Maitreya believers. I found that there were traces of Maitreya believers in Xihe. Zhao county magistrate was dating, but I accidentally found out that he is a big corrupt official. I originally wanted to go to the court, but I was afraid of scaring the snake, so I endured it for a while. Then... you came, and you know the rest. " Di Qing said anxiously: "If I didn't kill them knowingly, maybe Mr. Guo would have caught them all." Guo Zun comforted Di Qing and said, "Actually, I just found out that Suoming and the stick were related to the Maitreya believers, but I didn't know that Steward Che was also involved. But I always suspected that there were other people involved in it. That's why I lied. Ran." With a flash of inspiration, Di Qing said, "Actually, Mr. Guo let him go on purpose, right?" A sly smile appeared in Guo Zun's eyes, "Di Qing, you are very smart. That's right, I let the car steward leave on purpose, and then ordered someone to follow him secretly. Now I know that their lair is in Baibiling, more than a hundred miles south of Xihe River. Although I caught the stick, but the stick was extremely cunning. I used the method of abandoning the pawns to protect the commander, and named several innocuous lairs. I simply followed the plan and used thunderbolts to eradicate these places in the past few days, and then announced the return with great fanfare. Beijing..." Di Qing came to his senses, "Master Guo made a circle on purpose, and then turned around quietly, just to sneak into Baibi Ridge, and catch them by surprise when they are slack?" Guo Zun smiled and said: "Exactly. Well, I've already said what I need to say, you should rest well, maybe there will be a fierce battle tomorrow." He got up and left, and his tall body dragged out a huge hole under the moonlight. Lonely shadow. Di Qing felt a little strange, wondering why Guo Zun mentioned these things to him, a recruit.But in any case, it is true that Guo Zun treats him very highly.When Di Qingchu left his hometown, he was in a state of mind for a while, and fell asleep in a daze. In the early morning of the second day, Guo Zun stood still and ordered everyone to continue to rest.All the imperial guards complied solemnly, but Di Qing took out the newly issued saber and made gestures.The day passed quickly, and when dusk was approaching, a person dressed as a commoner came here, and Di Qing recognized that person as the thin man who recruited soldiers, called Zhao Lv.Zhao Lu whispered a few words to Guo Zun, Guo Zun nodded and shouted, "Get ready to go." All the imperial guards had been suffocating for a long time, and they all jumped up when they heard the words.Guo Zun ordered everyone to form a team of five, put on the clothes worn by ordinary people, and then unfolded the map that had been prepared long ago, and told everyone what to do this time. It turns out that every full moon night, Maitreya believers will hold a moon sacrifice ceremony according to the usual practice.At present, the Maitreya religion has disappeared due to being noticed by the imperial court, but knowing that Guo Zun has left, he immediately decided to hold a sacrifice to the moon at Feilongao in Baibiling. Guo Zun has long been familiar with the terrain of Baibiling, and his orders are very orderly. The main task of the imperial guards this time is to strangle the main roads, wait for opportunities to mix with believers, create chaos, and hunt down rebels. The mission is the most simple and clear: assassinate Maitreya Buddha! Guo Zun is bold and careful, he knows the principle of "shooting people first, shooting horses, capturing thieves first", and understands that Maitreya Buddha is not dead, and Maitreya religion will revive at any time, so he decided on this strategy. Seeing that Guo Zun's command is determined and he has the style of a general, Di Qing can't help admiring him very much.He knew that Guo Zun's martial arts skills were extremely high. If it was a tie, Di Qing would never have been the opponent of Stick, but Guo Zun managed to capture Stick with just two moves, which showed his strength. After Guo Zun finished his orders, all the imperial guards set off one by one to the designated place. Di Qing found that he was the only one who had no mission, so he couldn't help asking, "Master Guo, what am I doing?" Guo Zun stared at him and said, "You follow me to kill Maitreya Buddha, I wonder if you dare?" Seeing that Di Qing didn't answer for a long time, Guo Zun sighed and said, "So you have no guts." Di Qing hesitated and said: "Master Guo, if Maitreya Buddha really deserves to die, I will be the first one to kill him. But...he may not deserve to die...Although he rebelled, I also know that many people rebelled because they couldn't survive. , rather than insisting on overthrowing the Great Song Dynasty." Guo Zun said indifferently: "If you don't go there in person, how will you know whether he deserves to die?" Di Qing said: "Okay, I'll be with Mr. Guo. I'm afraid... I will drag you down." Guo Zun didn't answer, changed his clothes, abandoned his horse and went west.Di Qing followed suit, seeing Guo Zun's seriousness this time, he couldn't help but feel worried. When the bright moon rose, Guo Zun and Di Qing had reached the edge of Baibi Ridge.Baibi Ridge is full of ravines, the weather is dense, the mountains are winding and undulating, and there are Shengshui running through them, which is a beautiful scenery.But for some reason, the mountains are always misty and misty, bringing a little bit of melancholy. Guo Zun looked at the terrain and entered along a path.Not long after entering the mountain, I heard someone shouting from behind the big rock in front of me: "The Lone Master's Tomb on the Moon!" Di Qing was startled, not understanding what he meant, Guo Zun calmly said: "The Buddha shines on the gate of heaven and earth." The stone queen turned to two people and asked: "Which Heavenly King's subordinates are you, why do you come and go from here?" The two men were all dressed in black, with hideous masks on their faces, under the dark night, people felt chills in their hearts.A person suddenly stretched out his finger and said, "Who are you?" Before he could finish his sentence, Guo Zun rushed over like a leopard, cut the man's throat with his palm, and the man stopped shouting suddenly.The other person was shocked, so he wanted to blow the whistle to call the police, but Guo Zun slapped the palm of his hand, and the person ate the whistle with a thud. With one twist, the man's neck bone was broken. The two masked men fell limply, and Guo Zunli stood there, saying, "Di Qing, take off their clothes and put on their masks." Seeing that Guo Zun killed people like chickens, Di Qing couldn't help secretly rejoicing. Fortunately, he was not Guo Zun's enemy. The two changed the clothes of the other two, and took off the mask and put it on their faces.Guo Zun searched the two people, took out two tokens, threw one to Di Qing, and said in a low voice, "I'll deal with it later, don't talk." Di Qing took the token and hung it on his waist, and asked, "Why is Mr. Guo so familiar with this place?" At first he thought that the worshipers of Maitreya's religion were just some ordinary people, but it can be seen that the other party's organization is very strong, and it is by no means ordinary people. Horrified. Guo Zun said: "Of course someone will help us find out everything." He didn't say any more, and continued to walk slowly along the mountain road. After walking for a few miles, someone behind the tree in front shouted: "You two don't stay in front. , what are you doing here?" Guo Zun said in a hoarse voice: "Someone reported that they saw Ye Zhiqiu, the head of the capital in Lingbei, leading people around. I am afraid that they will be harmful to the Lord Buddha, so I came here to report." A person turned out from behind the tree, also wearing a hideous ghost mask, and exclaimed, "Ye Zhiqiu is here? Why did he come here?" Di Qing was very curious. He didn't know what Ye Zhiqiu's background was, and even the Maitreya believers in Fenzhou were quite afraid.Guo Zundao: "I don't know, but I'm afraid they want to destroy the Lord Buddha's sacrifice to the moon. Take me to report to the Heavenly King and tell the Lord Buddha to be careful." The man was not suspicious, he raised his head and said to the tree: "You watch here, I will take them to report to the Lord Buddha." Di Qing was secretly amused, and thought that these people deliberately pretended to be ghostly, but they also had a biggest weakness, that is, they only looked at each other's masks and tokens, which allowed Guo Zun to take advantage of them.Guo Zun seized this loophole and easily sneaked in. It is really a bold man with a high degree of art. With a ghost-masked man leading the way, Guo Zun and Di Qing went through two more hidden cards and entered Feilongao.Feilong'ao is a valley surrounded by Baibiling mountains, which is quite spacious.Because looking up from the valley, you can only see the continuous mountains, like a dragon flying into the sky, so it got its name. At this time, the moonlight was cold and the breeze was blowing, Di Qing couldn't help but gasped when he reached Feilong'ao.He originally thought that this place was extremely remote, and only the leaders of the Maitreya Sect could come here, but he didn't expect that there were nearly a thousand people kneeling in Gu Zhong.所有人都寂静无声，神色虔诚，百姓前方高台上，有一莲花台座，台座上端坐着一尊金佛，笑口常开。 谷中四周燃着熊熊篝火，弥勒佛前燃起的一堆大火更是烟尘滚滚，直冲云霄。金佛旁边端坐着四个人物，均戴着天神一样的面具。一人身着红衣，头戴龙盔，通体如火焰燃烧般，身上竟然盘着一条蟒蛇，手持铁锏。另外一人身着青衣，赤发怒目，脸上的面具极为愤怒威严，斜负长剑，竟有四尺之长。第三人身着白衣，紫发慈眉，脸上的面具倒是颇有慈悲的表情，他前面木板上插着一把大刀，刃锋背厚，颇为夺目。最后一人肩上斜倚着一把长柄大伞，看伞尖锋锐，竟是精铁打造。他身着绿衣，面具带着分微笑。 狄青见了这四人的兵刃形状，突然想到了昨夜郭遵所说的四大天王。这四人持蛇、背剑、操刀、负伞，不正是弥勒佛座下的四大护法？也就是广目、增长、持国和多闻四大天王！ 可是四大天王皆在，郭遵要刺杀的弥勒佛又在何处？
