The white dog has been staring at Lu Zhongming vigilantly. Lu Zhongming's real body is a heaven and earth beast, located at the top of the food chain. Except for the two fathers, even Phoenix Xuanwu will give him three points when he sees him. If you are afraid, you don't care much.

"On behalf of the people in the whole city, I come to ask General Lu for a promise." The old monk said: "Heaven has the virtue of good life, and Lu Mingyue gathered people to make trouble, it was out of necessity, the way of heaven, presumably General Lu also knows the world Qi Shu, the people in this city are innocent, I beg General Lu to forgive me, and save the lives of the people in the city."

Lu Zhongming didn't know how the people should deal with the rebellion in Zhu'a City according to the Sui's decree, but he knew what the old monk meant, the Sui Dynasty was exhausted, and there was no need to commit murder.

Before the coach arrived, Lu Zhongming was still unable to promise him, so he said: "The way of heaven is not benevolent, there is nothing good to say, but people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? After General Qin arrives, I will tell the story on your behalf, Master please."

The old monk raised his eyes and looked at Lu Zhongming, quite surprised, then nodded slowly, and another woman came out of the city, and said in a broken voice: "Min Gong! Come back quickly! It doesn't make sense with the officers and soldiers..."

At this moment, Lu Zhongming knew that this person was called "Min Gong". Seeing that he was staggering, and he didn't look like a big boss, he watched Min Gong go back to the city with complicated thoughts. The big dog wagged its tail and looked at him before leaving. Lu Zhongming took a look.

When Lu Zhongming entered the city, he saw a desolate scene in Zhu'a County. Any farmer who was captured by Lu Mingyue's rebels to do corvée and construction work would scatter when he saw the officers and soldiers. Kneeling on the ground begging bitterly.

"I won't kill you." Lu Zhongming said, "I just want to ask, who is Mr. Min?"

The farmer who was asked tremblingly said: "Grand Min is our living Bodhisattva. He came to congratulate you three years ago and lives in a ruined temple on the mountain...Master Jun, please spare me...my little family..."

"Everyone go home." Lu Zhongming ordered.

As soon as the officers and soldiers came in, the whole city fell silent. After a while, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin chased and killed the remnant soldiers, and led their soldiers into the city. Lu Zhongming explained the matter to Qin Qiong. Go back and explain?"

Qin Qiong pondered for a moment, then replied: "Let's talk."

Qin Qiong didn't ask any more questions, but let the two of them rest first, and then let his men go down to take over the city defense, and investigate the rebels in the city. There was food in the barracks, and Lu Zhongming took two steamed buns and went to the sentry tower to eat.

Luo Shixin was sitting on the railing. When he saw Lu Zhongming coming, he moved aside. There were corpses everywhere outside the city. In the distance, there was a monk in tattered cassock, who was chanting sutras to save the dead.

If you can't catch the rebels, you can only pull the people to make up for it. Sui soldiers ask for military merits, so they have to do so.But what is wrong with the people?Lu Zhongming imagined that if he were an ordinary person, the family would not be able to eat, and a group of rebels would come and occupy the city, and they would be beaten away by the officers and soldiers. Arresting and beheading him for no reason is really unbearable.

But Lu Zhongming also knew that it was useless to tell Luo Shixin these things. Some people live to fight and kill people, and some people live to weave and farm. For Luo Shixin, fighting is already his profession.He won't think about the innocent people and the pitiful people in the world. If he is asked to lead soldiers to kill, he will kill people. After killing people, he will be paid by piece, it's that simple.

On the contrary, Qin Qiong's principles are different from Luo Shixin's.

Lu Zhongming and Luo Shixin looked at the battlefield together. The officers and soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, and the old monk was walking through the field with his white dog.

Every time he passed a corpse, Gong Min bowed down and stroked the soldier's face.

Luo Shixin frowned and asked, "What is the bald donkey doing?"

Lu Zhongming said: "He is saving the souls of the dead on the battlefield. In this way, there will be no evil spirits outside the city."

Luo Shixin sneered and said, "Everyone is dead, how about saving ghosts?"

Lu Zhongming saw in the distance, the glazed beads in Min Gong's hands glowed with multicolored luster, and a halo appeared in the drizzle, and there was a Buddha's light shrouded behind him, and there was a faint appearance of a Buddhist Bodhisattva, so he knew that Min Gong came to bless Ah, it's not that simple.

He also knew that Luo Shixin couldn't see the Buddha's light, so he didn't explain. At this moment, the two suddenly found Qin Qiong.

Lu Zhongming immediately got off the sentry post and went to look for Qin Qiong. Qin Qiong took off his helmet and returned to the city, but was stopped by Lu Zhongming. Before the two of them could speak, Qin Qiong said, "It's nothing. Mr. Min invites the three of us to the Kongci Temple in the west of the city." Have a cup of tea."

"How many people were captured?" Luo Shixin asked.

"440 people per person." Qin Qiong said: "The number is too small to explain to the court."

Lu Zhongming was about to say something, but Luo Shixin tightened his fingers slightly, exerting a little strength, motioning him to keep quiet.

Luo Shixin looked angry and said, "I'll catch a few, you two don't have to interfere."

As soon as Lu Zhongming heard it, he knew that Luo Shixin wanted to take responsibility for this, to arrest the good people and tie them back to the court to explain to Yang Guang. Luo Shixin knew that the two of them could not do such a thing, so he planned to go by himself.

Qin Qiong said: "Forget it, why are the people so innocent? Let's find a way."

Luo Shixin asked back: "Is there any way? You should think about it first?"

Qin Qiong said: "Go see Mr. Min first, this matter is not busy, anyway, I won't be back until a few days later."

It was drizzling, and Mingong lived on a hillside in Zhu'a County. There was a ruined temple on the mountain, and no one lived in the temple for nearly a hundred years. According to the local people, Mingong has been here since he came here. Promote Buddhism, treat diseases for the common people, and even persuade the government to open warehouses in times of famine.

Qin Qiong knew that he could not be trusted, so he told Lu Zhongming and Luo Shixin to be polite.

After entering the Kongci Temple, the temple was very quiet, the vast green hills were enveloped in a layer of misty rain, the white dog was sitting by the lotus pond at the back of the temple, and Min Gong was making tea in the pavilion.There is a dilapidated Buddha statue in the courtyard.

Qin Qiong clasped his hands together, but Lu Zhongming stood quietly and glanced at the white dog.

"Master Min." Qin Qiong said.

"Please sit down, three generals." Mr. Min gestured kindly, with white eyebrows hanging down his temples. Lu Zhongming sat down, picked up a cup of tea, and turned his head to look at the Buddha statues in the courtyard.

"Which Buddha is this?" Lu Zhongming asked.

Min Gong replied: "The hell is not empty, and I swear that I will not become a Buddha. The one enshrined in Kongci Temple is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."

"Ah..." Lu Zhongming understood immediately, glanced at the Bodhisattva statue, and then at the white dog in a blink of an eye.Since Lu Zhongming entered the pavilion, the white dog was uncomfortable all over.

"What orders does Master Min have?" Qin Qiong asked.

"Don't dare to obey the order." Min Gong lowered his eyebrows, first served the tea to Lu Zhongming, then to Qin Qiong, and finally to Luo Shixin, and said: "General Qin and General Luo are young and talented, and they are not as talented as the sky." The weak crown has this achievement, and it is really the best among people. I just don't know why the two are fighting?"

Lu Zhongming took a sip of tea in silence. This was what he had always wanted to say. Qin Qiong said: "Why did Master Min say that? We are soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, and we should be loyal to the country."

Min Gong said slowly: "General Qin, General Luo, are you loyal to His Majesty, or to the people of the world?"

Luo Shixin's expression changed: "What are you talking about!"

Luo Shixin turned his face like a book, and as soon as he heard something in Mr. Min's words, he wanted to do it. Lu Zhongming and Qin Qiong hurriedly raised their hands at the same time to stop Luo Shixin.

Qin Qiong said: "Master Min, please tell me."

Min Gong said with a smile: "You two, I'm just a muddleheaded old man. I've lived 81 years. This life will be handed over sooner or later. Today, General Luo, please listen to what I have to say. So what if I arrest him and punish him?"

Lu Zhongming knew that with the glass bead and the protection of the white dog in the pavilion, it would not be easy to capture the old monk and punish him.It was just lip service, so he smiled and didn't say anything.

Min Gong said again: "The strength of the Sui family is exhausted. Today, the people who fight the officers and soldiers in the world are the common people. The common people have no one to rely on. They have to fight against the officers and soldiers in order to survive. Since the two of you have worked together with Lu Daochang, you must know that In the future, the world will be in trouble..."

"I never said that." Lu Zhongming interjected, "I only know how to follow the way of heaven, but not against the way of heaven."

Mr. Min raised his eyes to look at Lu Zhongming, and Lv Zhongming smiled. At this moment, he had roughly guessed the faction that Mr. Min belonged to, so he asked, "Master Min, what does Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha say about the situation in the world?"

Min Gong raised his palm and said: "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has nothing to contend with in the world, and he has no entrustment to the world. It's just an old man's prophecy. The Bodhisattva has a great wish and great power. He only hopes to bear the suffering of the world and save all sentient beings. But Earth Store Bodhisattva has a word to tell the old man to tell General Lu."

Lu Zhongming hesitated for a while, and Min Gong said again: "However, there will be chaos in the world, and the Bodhisattva knows that General Lu has a heavy responsibility. No matter what, I ask General Lu to treat the living beings kindly, and not use the lives of innocent people as pawns in the world."

Lu Zhongming knew what Min Gong meant, to put it bluntly, the earth will not come to provoke you, and you should not just cast the forbidden curse and make a big move in the world to bombard the common people to death.Lu Zhongming's face was cloudy, and he didn't intend to do this at first, but as long as he nodded at this time, he felt as if he was threatened by Mr. Min.

"Three generals, please look at Zhu'a city." Min Gong said.

Mr. Min motioned several people to look at Zhu'a at the foot of the mountain. The barren fields stretched to the sky, thick smoke from burning straw billowed up, and the cries of the people could be heard from afar.

"The fields are deserted, no one is farming, and the men in the family are gone out of ten, and all the women, children and old people are left." Min Gong said: "In the whole world, I don't know how many places like Zhu'a, and how many people are suffering. Lu General, the mortal world can no longer afford another battle between the two religions to confer the gods."

"I see." Lu Zhongming said.

Min Gong said: "On behalf of the Bodhisattva and the people of the world, I am grateful to General Lu for his great virtue."

When Lu Zhongming saw Mr. Min saluting, he felt dumbfounded, as if the Buddhists were doing good deeds, and he was the only one here to kill people.However, when I thought about it again, when I walked through the Xuanmen and brought a bunch of magic weapons, didn't I think so at first?No matter what the world of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, whose family is the country, sacrifice the map of the mountains and rivers and the country, and crush it vigorously.

Once the two families of Buddhism and Taoism go to war openly, it is bound to bring disaster to innocent mortals.Only then did Lu Zhongming realize that he had to readjust his strategy.

"There's no need to say any more." After drinking tea, Qin Qiong replied, "Master Min, I'll take my leave now."

Min Gong lowered his eyes and smiled, "Respectfully send off the three generals."

After the three finished drinking tea, Lu Zhongming was still thinking, but Luo Shixin said: "Just what the old man said is enough to punish him with death."

Qin Qiong said: "Are you going to take him back? Let's do it now."

Luo Shixin hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lu Zhongming, and asked, "Are the wolves around him not easy to mess with?"

Lu Zhongming didn't expect Luo Shixin's eyes to be quite sharp, so he replied: "Yes, you can see it too?"

An old monk, with a huge psychic white dog by his side, did not look like an ordinary person at first glance, so Luo Shixin did not act rashly.Qin Qiong stood on the hillside, silent for a long time, and then asked Lu Zhongming, "Is what Min Gong said true?"

"En." Lu Zhongming said: "Soon, the Sui family will be torn apart, and will fall into a situation where heroes are fighting for hegemony."

"What?" Luo Shixin looked at Lu Zhongming as if he didn't know him.

Lu Zhongming said: "Taking the occurrence of several events as a turning point, the Sui Dynasty lost its pillars, heroes from all walks of life rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang hid in Yangzhou, and was eventually captured by the rebels... what happened?" chipping gesture.

"When?" Both Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin seemed to have heard the big joke.

"Soon." Lu Zhongming said, "No more than three to five years at most."

Lu Zhongming didn't dare to tell the time too clearly. Although in his own capacity, leaking the heavenly secrets would not lead to thunder disasters, but if he leaked too much, he was a little uneasy after all, and he didn't know what to do.

"Do you believe it?" Luo Shixin's mouth twitched, looking at Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong said: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Lu Zhongming: "I told you the first day we met."

Luo Shixin sneered: "Pretending to be a ghost, you and that old bald donkey will both have to be locked up."

Said that Bi Luoshixin took off his helmet, walked down the mountain, walked a few steps, suddenly stood still, turned around and said, "Are you serious?"

Lu Zhongming was silent, looking into Luo Shixin's eyes, the meaning in his eyes was clear at a glance: Do you think I am joking with you?

In the midst of this silence, a soldier hurried up the mountain and shouted: "General Qin! General Luo, the army is here in Xingyang! Master Zhang has received the battle report, and ordered the two to set off quickly and return to Xingyang to meet up and suppress the Wagang rebels. !"

Lu Zhongming's heart trembled immediately, knowing that this time the master is coming, and the Wagang Army is a powerful force.The enemies Zhang Xutuo faced this time were not comparable to mobs like Lu Mingyue.

Qin Qiong said: "Don't worry about the prisoners of war, let's talk about it when we go back, let's go."

Lu Zhongming didn't say anything more, and went down the mountain with the two of them. Qin Qiong put Lu Zhongming's shoulders on his shoulders, and Luo Shixin seemed to have something on his mind. The theory that the Sui Dynasty must perish".

Luo Shidao: "Master has fought for Tai Sui for many years. With him around, Tai Sui will not fall. Come and listen to me. How could Master not care?"

Lu Zhongming first took a few steps away, hid beside Qin Qiong, and said, "You...Brother Luo, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Luo Shixin: "..."

Qin Qiong said: "Just say it, you just treat Luo Cheng as your own brother, and he won't betray you."

Lu Zhongming said anxiously: "Although it is regrettable, the fact is that...he finally died in battle."

Qin Qiong: "..."

Luo Shixin: "..."

Luo Shixin sneered: "Fart! If Master can be killed in battle, can we be killed in battle too?"

Luo Shixin looked at Lu Zhongming, and Lu Zhongming looked at Luo Shixin with trepidation, but did not speak. At that moment, Luo Shixin's expression changed.

"I will die in battle too?" Luo Shixin trembled.

Lu Zhongming tremblingly said: "Reason... theoretically yes, but I won't let you die, and I will remind you... that battle, just don't go... Do you think it will work? Luo Brother..."

Luo Shixin: "..."
