Chapter 4951 Wanfo Peak

The snow on Mount Xumi has begun to melt. It was still white some time ago, but now many sunny sides of the mountain have revealed the soil that had been covered by snow for a winter.

The tender green grass buds swayed gently in the wind, heralding the arrival of spring and the revival of all things.

The people guarding outside the mustard cave were Feng Yuyan and Yuan Shaoqin. When they saw Yun Qiyou and Ye Xiaochuan coming out of the cave, they greeted Ye Xiaochuan.

It was Feng Yuyan who spoke, saying, "Brother Ye, what are you doing?"

Ye Xiaochuan looked bitter, looked at the back of Yun Qiyou in front of him, and shrugged at Feng Yuyan.

Feng Yuyan showed an expression of deep sympathy but helplessness.

He didn't want to get involved in the emotional entanglement between Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou.

One was his good brother who had been through life and death with him.

The other was the daughter of his good brother who had also been through life and death with him.

As a person who had once loved passionately and madly, he felt that he should just be an innocent bystander on the side.

After all, he had also been tortured by love and felt worse than death, otherwise he would have followed the evil god to the heaven to enjoy a peaceful life and would not have stayed in the human world.

Yuan Shaoqin had been standing in the corner without saying a word.

Watching the two people go away, he just sighed softly.

Today is a good day, with a warm spring breeze and bright sunshine.

Yun Qiyou walked in front and Ye Xiaochuan followed behind.

After walking for about an incense stick of time, Ye Xiaochuan finally couldn't help it.

Said: "Sister Yun, don't you have something to say to me?"

Yun Qiyou said lightly: "Let's go to a place first."

Wanfo Peak is located on the northeast side of Guanzizai Peak.

In terms of height, Wanfo Peak is not as high as Guanzizai Peak.

But Wanfo Peak is much more famous in the human world than Guanzizai Peak.

Because this is the main altar of Jiaye Temple, the leader of Buddhism in the human world.

Buddhism and Taoism are somewhat different. Both are pure cultivation sects, but Taoism is tightly locked and almost no mortal pilgrims or believers are allowed to go up the mountain to worship.

Buddhism is different. Except for some Buddhist temples located in deep mountains and old forests, most temples in the world are open to mortals.

This makes many people puzzled. Buddhism emphasizes the purity of the six senses and the emptiness of the four elements, but Buddhist disciples open the door to the world all day long and deal with mortals all day long.

Perhaps for this reason, Buddhism in the world, whether it is the number of believers or temples, is far higher than that of Taoism.

However, in terms of cultivation, the strength of Buddhism is a little weaker than that of Taoism.

Many years ago, Ye Xiaochuan visited Jiaye Temple when he went to the northern border.

It was that time that he learned that the verse "Buddha sees a bowl of water and 48,000 insects" has a great relationship with the curse of seven generations of resentful lovers.

The number of pilgrims in Jiaye Temple is the largest on the first and fifteenth day of each month. Today is the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and there are not many pilgrims.

On the road up the front mountain, only scattered pilgrims can be seen.

Most of them are village women near Mount Xumi, and some pilgrims are young men dressed as scholars.

Now in the Middle Earth, the elderly women and scholars are the most idle. Young men have joined the army and went to the battlefield. Older men have been incorporated into the civilian labor team to carry war supplies.

Young women and children are in the garrisons of various places, preparing for the loss of combat effectiveness of the regular army in the world.

Most of the elderly women still have bound feet, and they can't carry anything on their shoulders or hands. Now is the first month of the year when there is a shortage of food and clothing, which is the most leisurely time of the year for them.

As for scholars... everything is inferior except reading. In this era when the literacy rate is less than 10%, the status of scholars is very high.

Reflecting the prosperity of a civilization, scholars are the most important embodiment.

The court stipulates that all scholars with the status of scholars are protected groups, and they do not need to serve in the military or perform corvée during the catastrophe. The main task of these scholars is to pass on the brilliant culture of the world for hundreds of thousands of years.

After all, scholars like Yang Sanlang who gave up writing to join the army are only a minority. Most scholars spend their whole lives studying the classics.

Of course, when the court issued preferential treatment for scholars ten years ago, many dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, in order to avoid their sons from dying on the battlefield, used connections and connections to get their sons the status of scholars.

Those scholars who walk the streets and alleys all day long, travel around the mountains and rivers, and abuse good women everywhere are actually mostly unlearned and unskilled dandy disciples.

Dandy boys have now become a major cancer in the Middle Earth.

According to court records, last year alone, more than 300,000 cases of good women being raped by dandy boys occurred in various parts of the Middle Earth.

This is only the court records.

Under the constraints of traditional moral ethics, many women were bullied and chose to swallow their anger for fear of bad reputation.

Last year, the number of good women abused by dandy disciples was definitely not less than 500,000.

This is just one year.

For ten years, all the young and strong men in the Middle Earth have served in the army. It is hard to imagine how many women have been killed by these wealthy disciples in the past ten years.

The court also knows that if it does not control them, the people of the Middle Earth will definitely be angry.

At the beginning of last month, the court enacted a series of laws targeting the scholars who stayed behind.

Once found, they will be strictly investigated.

After chopping off the heads of hundreds of dandy disciples, this group of scum finally knew to restrain themselves.

They didn't dare to flirt with decent girls in the city, so they just went out to travel and enjoy the mountains and rivers together, which was quite free and easy.

Therefore, for most of the day, you can see some young people in groups of three or five, dressed in scholar's clothes, wandering around the Ten Thousand Buddha Peak of Mount Xumi.

Yun Qiyou and Ye Xiaochuan were also going up the mountain.

There were four or five rich kids behind them, and a dozen servants following them.

Seeing Yun Qiyou's beauty, those rich kids couldn't help but start talking about it.

However, this is Mount Xumi, so they didn't dare to be presumptuous here, and could only satisfy their desire to talk.

As soon as he said each sentence, Yun Qiyou suddenly stopped, and his cold eyes made the four playboys' necks cold, so they dared not say anything more.

The group continued to go up the mountain, and after a while, Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou heard the scholars behind them discussing something.

Dandy A said: "My father said that the fleet secretly formed by Prince Ning, Prince Huai, and some important officials of the court will arrive at Haijin Port in the next two days. I heard that this fleet has more than 100 five-toothed ships. The personal ticket is 100,000 taels of silver. The treasure is charged by weight. One kilogram of treasure costs 10 taels.

My father bought six tickets, and ten boxes of gold, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. He spent more than one million taels in total."

Dandy B said: "Brother Li, your family's property is nothing. My father bought twelve ships. tickets, thirty boxes of treasures and goods.

Millions of taels were spent.

This morning, I received a letter from home asking me to return to the capital as soon as possible and go to Yizhou with the fleet to avoid the catastrophe. ”

Wanku Bing said: “My family has spent a lot, but compared with life, this little money is nothing.

The catastrophe killed only ordinary people. We are born nobles, and our lives are much more noble than those of the lowly people. When those lowly people are dead and the catastrophe is over, we will come back, and then we will still be high nobles.”
