Chapter 98 The Envoy is the Master of Hongwu
The next morning.
Wu Yin, the deputy driver of Fengzhou, came to pay a visit to Cui Heng. In terms of official position and authority, he was higher than Cui Heng, but his attitude was very humble.
After meeting Cui Heng, Wu Yin bowed directly and said, "The subordinate Wu Yin pays homage to the Envoy."
Envoy is often used as a respectful title for the governor and governor of a state.
As the deputy driver of Fengzhou, calling Cui Heng like this, it is obvious that he wants to respect him as the governor of Fengzhou.
“No need to be so polite.” Cui Heng motioned Wu Yin to stand up, and did not emphasize that he was not yet the governor of Fengzhou. He smiled and said, “Why have you driven thousands of miles here?”
“To find a wise leader for Fengzhou.” Wu Yin looked solemn and serious, and said, “I have been traveling all the way with Chen Fuxian, and what I have seen and heard in Lu County is like a paradise, completely different from the chaotic outside world.
“Those who till the land have their own fields, those who live in the village have their own houses, and those who work have their own products. Every family has enough food, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. There are no families or sects that are domineering. This is a rare place in the world. I also ask you to be the governor of Fengzhou and save the people of Fengzhou from the dire straits.”
“Governor of Fengzhou, I have made up my mind to do it. "Cui Heng nodded lightly and smiled, "However, there is still one condition missing, that is, a letter of recommendation from the current governor of a state."
"I can help you solve this problem." Wu Yin said immediately after hearing this, "My brother is the current governor of Jingzhou. I can submit a letter to the court on your behalf, recommending you as the governor of Fengzhou."
"Okay! Thank you very much, and don't drive away." Cui Heng laughed loudly.
So far, the procedures for him to ascend to the position of governor of Fengzhou have been completed. He only needs to write the letter and wait for Zhang Shuming to arrive, and then he can go to Changfengzhou to take office.
"It is the people of Fengzhou who should thank you, your Excellency." Wu Yin bowed again and said in a very humble manner, "I have always had a doubt in recent days, and I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"Just say it. "Cui Heng nodded.
"From what I have seen, the policies implemented by the envoy are all similar to those of the Hongwu Heavenly King three hundred years ago..." Wu Yin paused here, took a deep breath and said, "May I ask if the envoy has read the "Datong Collection"? "
- In the eyes of most people, there is not much difference between more than two hundred and eighty years ago and three hundred years ago, and they will not deliberately distinguish when talking.
"Oh?" Cui Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, "You actually know the "Datong Collection"? "
"I accidentally got one or two fragments, which are indeed the truth!" Wu Yin's eyes lit up, and he looked at Cui Heng with great desire, "The envoy has it here, how many chapters are there?"
"If you want to read it, I can give you the whole article. "Cui Heng said with a smile, and at the same time silently collected the yellow light coming out of Wu Yin.
This is the yellow light produced by the desire for knowledge.
Although he does not have a ready-made "Datong Collection" at hand, it is just a piece of cake to write one now. It is undoubtedly a good thing to be able to spread such ideas.
"All, the whole article?!" Wu Yin trembled with excitement and said in a trembling voice, "Since the disappearance of Hongwu Heavenly King three hundred years ago, "Datong Collection" has been banned by the court. It is difficult to find a copy in the world. You actually have the whole article here. No wonder you can govern so perfectly..."
He was obviously extremely excited, and his face flushed.
"Haha, there is no need to be so excited. "Cui Heng's voice contained magical power, which soothed Wu Yin's excited emotions, and said with a smile, "I will ask Liu Litao to send the full text of Datong Collection in the afternoon."
"Thank you, sir!" Wu Yin knelt down with a plop, and was extremely excited.
Ever since he came into contact with "Datong Collection", he has regarded the theories in it as a treasure, and has been struggling to pursue the remaining fragments, but has not gained anything.
Unexpectedly, he can get the whole article this time!
After returning to his residence, Wu Yin was waiting anxiously.
He didn't even have the mood to sit and wait, and kept walking around in the room of the guest house, constantly He switched hands and clenched the fingers of the other hand, obviously very anxious, and couldn't wait to see the whole "Datong Collection" immediately.
Finally, after a knock on the door, Wu Yin met the county magistrate Liu Litao, and also saw the whole "Datong Collection" he had dreamed of.
But just looking at the cover, he couldn't help but be stunned, his expression was stunned.
This "Datong Collection" turned out to be a brand new book cover, and the ink on it seemed to have just been dried. Could it be written just now? !
"County magistrate Liu, is this copied by the envoy?" Wu Yin couldn't help asking.
"Yes, it was written by the adults themselves." Liu Litao handed this volume of "Datong Collection" to Wu Yin's hands, "Please take a look, I have something to deal with, so I will take my leave first."
"Thank you. "Wu Yin thanked Liu Litao, closed the door, and walked to the table carefully holding the volume of "Datong Collection" in both hands.
"Oh, I thought too much. "Datong Collection" is such a precious book, even if the envoy is willing to lend it to me, he will not give me the original. I just don't know which version of "Datong Collection" it is, and whether it is different from the real original."
Wu Yin adjusted his mood, looked at the three words "Datong Collection" on the cover, and couldn't help but sighed, "These three words are very similar to the handwriting of the original copy in the hands of Hongwu Tianwang.
"It seems that what you have in your hand should be a copy of the original edition, and looking at the handwriting, I think you often copy it to learn this kind of elegant handwriting."
When the Hongwu Heavenly King appeared, the Datong Collection became popular all over the world.
It has been copied countless times in those years, and naturally there are many different versions, and the handwriting is also strange.
The original edition and the copy of the original edition are rare treasures.
The fragment in Wu Yin's hand is a treasure among treasures - it is the fragment of the Datong Collection that Cui Heng gave to Hong Fugui!
Therefore, he thought that what Cui Heng had in his hand was not the original edition.
The original edition was already incomplete. There
is no complete version at all.
However, the more Wu Yin looked at the newly copied "Datong Collection", the more he felt something was wrong. He murmured, "It seems, how can it be so similar, it doesn't even look like a copy!"
He has been copying the handwriting on "Datong Collection" for twenty years. He
persists every day and never stops.
Although he still feels that he has not reached the charm of it, he is already extremely familiar with this handwriting.
With his eyes closed, all the details of this handwriting can instantly appear in his mind.
No matter how similar the handwriting is, he can quickly judge that it is not the original, but a copy.
"It's so similar, it's really so similar, the two are exactly the same, the characteristics of the brushstrokes, these details, they are actually, exactly the same?!"
Wu Yin was shocked to the extreme and stood up directly.
He looked at the "Datong Collection" on the table that Cui Heng had just copied with disbelief, and his face was full of incredible expressions.
This doesn't look like a copied copy at all, it's simply a reproduction of the original!
"How is it possible? It has been nearly three hundred years since it was published, and the author should have died long ago." Wu Yin closed his eyes and shook his head, trying to get rid of this idea.
But as soon as he opened his eyes and saw the words on this "Datong Collection", he would immediately involuntarily match these words with the extremely familiar handwriting in his mind.
Reason told him that this was undoubtedly the original.
"No, that's not right!" Wu Yin suddenly got an inspiration, and he thought of something, "It is said that "Datong Collection" was the method of salvation taught by the immortals when Hongwu Tianwang mistakenly entered the immortal mountain when he was young.
"Although not many people have believed this saying, they just think that the author does not want to reveal his identity, but what if this is true, what if the author of "Datong Collection" is really not a mortal?"
He looked up in the direction of the Lu County prefectural government office, and murmured: "All the way I have come, whether it is the counties below or the county town, there are many people saying that Cui Shijun is a living immortal.
"Many people also say that he can call the wind and rain and make the earth crack. He is an immortal with great supernatural powers. Could it be that these are actually true? If this is true, then this note seems to explain it..."
Thinking of this, he suddenly stood there in a daze, muttering, "Envoy, are you the immortal who taught Hongwu Tianwang the way to save the world? Are you Hongwu Tianwang's master?
"I, I actually met the author of "Datong Collection"? ! If this is true, if the envoy is really... then the Hongwu prosperous era may really reappear in the world!"
Wu Yin thought of this, and suddenly knelt down in the direction of the prefect's office, and bowed to the ground respectfully, "If you want to implement this policy, you should start from Fengzhou. From now on, I, Wu Yin, am willing to work hard for the envoy!"
…
While Wu Yin was painstakingly studying the "Datong Collection" and Cui Heng was preparing to take over the position of governor.
Hui Shi and Zhou Hongyi had already arrived at the junction of Yuzhou and Yongzhou.
The two chose a remote mountainous area. Within a hundred miles, apart from a few scattered small mountain villages, there was only a small sect whose strongest person was only a master.
They opened the lacquer box in the center of the mountain and injected their true energy into the jade bones of the Bodhisattva made of chicken bones according to the method taught by Cui Heng.
In an instant, a beam of light as thick as a hundred feet emerged from the fist-sized jade bones of the Bodhisattva. The extremely pure and compassionate Buddha light rushed into the sky, as if it penetrated the heaven and the earth.
And, in the sky above the clouds . On the ground, there appeared a shadow of a Bodhisattva sitting on a lotus platform, which was clearly visible for hundreds of miles. There was also the sound of Sanskrit chanting echoing between heaven and earth, and the sound could be heard for thousands of miles.
This scene was just like a Bodhisattva from the upper realm had descended here.
The nearest small sect was directly shocked. Everyone stared in amazement at the astonishing phenomenon not far away from them, but no one dared to go and investigate. With
such a rare treasure coming out, wouldn’t it be courting death for a small family to go there?
At the same time, Monk Kongci,
who had just walked down Jinguang Mountain and left Baolin Zen Temple and was about to go to Lu County, Fengzhou, stopped and looked at the distant sky with a dull look, and said in shock: "Bodhisattva Jade Bones?! "
Zhang Shuming, the head of Daoyi Palace who had just walked out of Yongzhou and arrived in Yuzhou, was also confused.
He rubbed his eyes, looked at the phantom of the Bodhisattva in the sky in disbelief, smacked his lips, and muttered: "What a joke, where did the Bodhisattva jade bone come from? ! "
In addition, in Yuzhou and Yongzhou, all the big and small sects and families also saw the strange phenomenon in the sky.
They were all shocked.
The strange phenomenon of the Bodhisattva's jade bones appearing in the world was so shocking that it was impossible to hide it.
The news spread all over the place at a very fast speed.
Countless martial artists heard the news and moved.
Regardless of whether they had the qualifications to snatch it or not, they all ran to the border between Yongzhou and Yuzhou.
Even Monk Kongci, who originally planned to go to Lu County in Fengzhou, stayed.
He received a new transfer order from Dufa, stopped all his affairs, and tried his best to snatch the Bodhisattva's jade bones.
Only Zhang Shuming was not affected by this sudden incident and continued to move towards Fengzhou.
In the autumn of the 31st year of Jianyan in the Great Jin Dynasty,
the Bodhisattva's jade bones appeared in the world at the border between Yongzhou and Yuzhou, and the world was shocked!
