Chapter 757 King Tang (Part 2)

"You." Shen Fei's words almost pissed off the old monk in front of him. Usually, this is what they often say to others, but now it is used on themselves.

"Why are you so angry? You should be grateful for using your life to help me become a Buddha. This is not an opportunity that ordinary people have. Remember that you Buddhists often talk about karma. Didn't you say that the Sui army who died here were all because of the sins of the previous life, and they have to pay for it in this life? Now it's time for you to pay for your sins." Looking at the old monk whose face was red and almost vomiting blood because of his anger, Shen Fei's shadow clone, who was aliased as Duan Lang, looked as calm as ever.

Originally, this shadow clone was going to enter Shu, go to Chengdu, Dashi Temple, and solve the arrangements of Cihang Jingzhai there. This was the main task of this shadow clone, but because there was no rush, Duan Lang stayed in Chengdu for a few days and did not rush to start. After investigating some things, he came to the border between the Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo.

Generally speaking, the borders of any country are chaotic and disorderly, even in modern society, there are countless drug dealers, smugglers, illegal immigrants, etc.

In the world of Shuanglong, because of the existence of martial arts, it is even more chaotic. It is a place where no one is in charge, a paradise for criminals. After so many years of development, it has formed a town similar to the legend of Bianhuangji, with multiple gangs ruling inside.

These gangs are basically gathered together by nationality, such as Turks, Shiwei, Tiele, Tuyuhun, Goryeo, etc.

However, probably because of Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goryeo, the Central Plains people here are not as low-ranking as the border between the Central Plains and the Turks. After all, even if Yang Guang failed in his three expeditions to Goryeo and suffered heavy losses, Goguryeo also suffered extremely heavy losses. It can be said that if it were not for Fu Cailin, Goryeo would probably have started to fight for hegemony like the Central Plains.

But even so, a certain person with five knives on his back has almost become independent in Goryeo and basically does not listen to the orders of the Goryeo king. If Fu Cailin had not stood on the side of the Goryeo king, this guy would have probably killed the Goryeo king.

The situation is similar in the Turkic side. If Bi Xuan had not been in charge, DTZ and Western Turkic would have fought to the death many times. Even Jie Li and Tu Li, who are also DTZ forces, would have completely turned against each other.

A small country also has its advantages. Looking at the Central Plains, Ning Daoqi is completely not as respectful as these two. Although many people respect him, it is just respect. Even Ning Daoqi cannot openly participate in the world's struggle. His cooperation with Cihang Jingzhai is limited to standing on the platform. It is impossible for him to stand on the platform like Fu Cailin and Bi Xuan.

For Duan Lang, he came to the border not to target Buddhism. If he really wanted to deal with the people in Cihang Jingzhai, wouldn't it be better to go to the Central Plains? He came to the border mainly to mourn the millions of soldiers who died in the battle. At the same time, he also took a lot of photos, preparing to build a cemetery for these people after unifying the world.

Compared with those who died in the melee in the Central Plains, these people are more worthy of respect. Without their sacrifice, there would be no peace in the Central Plains. For those Confucianists who have been promoting etiquette, benevolence, faith, repaying grievances with virtue, the Celestial Empire, and actions such as persuasion, if someone dares to talk so much in front of him in the future, he will definitely transfer him to guard the border as soon as possible. Go and persuade him. If he can't persuade him, he won't come back alive.

However, after staying at the border for a while, he heard some rumors, and coupled with some of the situations he investigated, Duan Lang couldn't help it immediately. He turned all the more than a dozen magnificent temples on the border into ashes, and at the same time, nearly ten smuggling chambers controlled by aristocratic families were completely destroyed by him.

It has to be said that the Buddhist forces in this era are indeed very powerful. Not only the Central Plains, Goryeo, Turks and other things have their considerable forces, but the key is that they are still very united. Didn't you see that Shi Feixuan went to the frontier to hunt down Shi Zhixuan and lived in the temple outside the frontier as soon as possible?

If it was just like this, Duan Lang would not be so cruel. The key is that through investigation, some of these temples were involved in smuggling. Why are there still many people flocking to the border when the border is so chaotic? Isn't it because the benefits here are very great?

These smugglings have everything, weapons, food, salt, silk, etc., and the benefits are nearly a hundred times that of the Central Plains.

Smuggling in this era is really very profitable. Didn't you see that Shuanglong thought about selling private salt as soon as he came out of the mountain? This is just salt.

Those who participated in these smugglings are not only the noble families in the Central Plains, but also people from Buddhism. Moreover, smuggling for the benefit of temples is more secretive.

These smugglers of foreign races are very hateful. Look at the end of the Ming Dynasty. If these people hadn't been disloyal, there would have been no invasion of foreign races.

If it were just these, Duan Lang would be very angry, but he wouldn't have taken such a ruthless action. The key is that Shen Fei discovered that they were trafficking in people to foreign races, mostly women, and one of the temples was a transit station.

Duan Lang couldn't help it immediately. In this era, the people who trafficked in people were not just the Baling Gang, but they were the biggest, just like Doflamingo in Pirates, and there were many other forces involved.

The Buddhist sect was so powerful that there was naturally no shortage of people who wanted to borrow its power. To be honest, some temples were not real temples at all, but thieves' dens.

Even Shi Zhixuan can find a temple to hide his identity and stay there, and others can naturally do the same. After all, no one in this era will check the qualification certificate in this area.

Not just Buddhism, but also Taoism. Some Taoist temples actually belong to the Demon Sect. Among the two sects of the Demon Sect, the Six Paths, there is a true preacher, and the true preacher is divided into two, namely the True Tradition of the Taoist and the Laojun Temple. .

After Duanlang fully unleashed his strength, within just a few days, the situation in the entire border town changed drastically. Since Duanlang decided to take action, he naturally eliminated all the unsightly people. Therefore, the leaders of the foreign gangs, in The horse thieves raging around were all eliminated.

"Well, I can't become a Buddha even if I put down my butcher knife. Maybe I haven't killed enough. How many people like you do you think I have to kill before I can become a Buddha?" Seeing the old monk, he was completely speechless. , Duan Lang sneered, and with a wave of the Fire Lin Sword, a blazing sword energy penetrated directly between his eyebrows.

"It seems that Buddhism in this era cannot answer this question, unless they have people like Zhang Liang." The so-called putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately is just like the white horse of the famous master, it is a logical problem.

"It's come to an end here, and the plan over there has begun. It's time to go to Chengdu to deal with them."

Standing on the rock on one side, Duan Lang nodded lightly as he watched a dozen men in green clothes quickly rush into the temple and start searching for property after he left.

These big men were from a gang belonging to the Central Plains people in Bianhuang Town, and they were the only gang he had not touched. The two sides even cooperated a bit. Duanlang got some information from this gang. After all, they were local gangsters.

Speaking of the composition of this gang, we have to talk about Yang Guang's three expeditions to Korea. Many of these people were Sui soldiers who were lucky enough not to die in the battle and later stayed here and their descendants.

"Luoyang, we are finally here."

Riding the black divine dragon, Shen Fei and Huan Huan soon arrived in the sky above Luoyang. Looking at Luoyang with waterways below, Shen Fei couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart.

Luoyang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, with Mang Mountain in the north, Luoshui in the south, Huhulao in the east, Yinghan Valley in the west, surrounded by mountains, and the Luoyang Plain in the middle, with the four streams of Yi, Luo, Zhang and Jian flowing through it. Dangerous and beautiful.

Speaking of which, Luoyang and Chang'an are somewhat similar. They are both surrounded by four checkpoints. The only problem is that the checkpoints are not as strict as those around Chang'an. You can go around through the mountains, making the strategic position here lower than that of Chang'an.

However, Luoyang also has conveniences that Chang'an does not have, that is, developed transportation. Especially after the opening of the Grand Canal, water transportation has made Luoyang's business more prosperous.

"Sir, do you want to go in now?" Huanwan looked down at the entire Luoyang City and asked softly.

"We'll go to the Dugu clan in the evening and we can officially enter the city tomorrow." As the future manager of Luoyang, Shen Fei naturally cannot enter the city alone without a card. He has to be greeted by Wang Shichong and others before he can enter the city. , of course, before that, the Dugu Clan must be conquered first. Only in this way can Luoyang be completely controlled.

"Understood, I'm afraid Ning Daoqi and the others are still searching for the whereabouts of the young master." Huanhan talked about Ning Daoqi and immediately laughed. Now that Ning Daoqi's strength has been greatly reduced, Huanwan can mention it casually. Even mocked him.

"Master, what are you going to do with Ning Daoqi?" Huanhan immediately asked curiously. From Shen Fei's actions, it was obvious that he would not let Ning Daoqi go, but she didn't know how to deal with him specifically.

"Of course he was publicly executed as a national traitor. Only in this way can certain people be deterred." Shen Fei said expressionlessly. It goes without saying that a great master was publicly executed, and the influence was natural.

After hearing what Shen Fei said, Huanwan was shocked, but she didn't say anything about it.

"The Dugu Clan has recently gathered many experts at the mansion, but Dugu Ce and some others seem to have been sent to Chang'an."

In a not very big inn in Luoyang City, Huanhan quickly obtained the latest information about Luoyang from the Demon Sect. As the eastern capital of the Sui Dynasty, Luoyang was not a weak force in the Demon Sect.

The largest gang in Luoyang, the Luoyang Gang, has a very close relationship with the Demon Sect. Unlike Chang'an, which has two gangs and two sects, the Luoyang Gang is the only one in Luoyang. Other than that, there are some small gangs and sects. But these Although the gang is small, it does not mean that the backstage is small. Song Clan seems to support one of them.

"The Dugu Clan is very calculating. In this way, even if something happens, they won't be caught in one fell swoop." With the connections between the four great clans, Li Yuan had to protect the Dugu Clan no matter what. After all, he and the Dugu Clan were They are also related by marriage.

The Dugu Clan of the four great clans has always relied on in-laws to maintain their unique status. Coupled with their ambitions that have no end, naturally no one wants to establish such a powerful enemy.

"I have notified Master, I believe they will be here soon." Since the Yin Kui faction has surrendered to Shen Fei, it has naturally shown its value, and conquering the Dugu Clan is just an opportunity.

"I understand, is there any other news?"

"Cihang Jingzhai, Ning Daoqi, Jing Nian Zen Sect, Kong Kong, and the four holy monks spoke out, saying that Yang Guang was slandering them. They had no plan to elect an emperor on behalf of heaven, but just wanted to do their best for the peace of the world. Let’s do our part. By the way, many temples have begun to provide relief to people displaced by the war.”

婠婠slowly told the recent actions of Cihang Jingzhai, and after listening to it, Shen Fei had to praise Cihang Jingzhai's response. Even if he was in Cihang Jingzhai's situation, he would not have a better way to deal with it due to the limitations of the times and knowledge.

"Fan Qinghui and the others are very smart, but they seem to have forgotten one thing, not every order can be executed perfectly."

If it were really that simple, Yang Guang would not have failed. The Buddhist temples have been greedy for so long, and asking them to take out their wealth to help the people, even if it is just a drop in the bucket, is almost the same as cutting their meat with a knife.

The so-called fear of god-like opponents is fear of pig-like teammates.

"Continue to pay attention to this aspect, but remember, don't do anything extra, you should understand what I mean." There are many ways to destroy Cihang Jingzhai, but some are too despicable, so Shen Fei will naturally not do it.

For example, poisoning, there is nothing new about this kind of means, even in modern companies competing with each other.

In his modern beverage company, he was once falsely accused of containing toxic substances, causing many people to be poisoned and even die.

"I understand. In addition, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have been in the limelight recently. They teamed up to kill Ren Shaoming of the Iron Cavalry Society." Originally, Ren Shaoming was also a partner of the Demon Sect, and the Demon Sect even placed his men around him as bodyguards. However, after Ren Shaoming joined Shen Fei, the Yin Kui Sect withdrew those who supported other forces. After all, compared with Shen Fei who had the dragon, other people had no chance at all.

As for Fu Gongyou and Lin Shihong, because they were involved in the Yin Kui Sect and the internal struggles of the Demon Sect, it was impossible for them to surrender for the time being.

And to put it bluntly, Fu Gongyou is fine, but Lin Shihong may not be willing to obey the orders of the Yin Kui Sect now. After all, he can now be regarded as a major warlord.

If the Demon Sect supports him, there will be no problem, but if he is asked to give up the power and power in his hands, that is another matter.

Speaking of this, Shuanglong's assassination of Ren Shaoming was somewhat related to Shen Fei, because Shen Fei told them the reasons why foreigners were making trouble in the Central Plains. Except for the Korean side, which might be because of Fu Jun'er's involvement, Shuanglong would hesitate, but the others were different.

The two took action after knowing Ren Shaoming's true identity. This battle made them instantly famous. What is the fastest way to become famous in the world? Of course, it is to kill a celebrity. Ren Shaoming is the leader of the Iron Cavalry Club, one of the eight gangs and ten clubs.

There are many legends about him, such as the fact that he once fought with Song Que for territory with the Song family. Although he failed, he was still honorable in defeat, because except for Song Que, he had never met an opponent.

For Shen Fei, this was obviously bragging. If it was really Song Que who took action, it would be impossible to keep his life. It was probably a fight with Song Zhi.

Of course, it could also be like Kakuzu, who threw a kunai at the first generation of Hokage from eight hundred miles away, and could also claim that he had fought with the first generation of Hokage that year.
