Tang Shengzhi was always full of expectations for the information sent by Yang Wei. When he sent out troops and approached the Tongguan area, Tang Shengzhi began to send people to search for the whereabouts of the master worshiping his father-in-law. However, Tang Shengzhi was very disappointed that after visiting many places, he found that

Still haven't found any information about Master Baizhang.

Seeing that the troops were approaching Tongguan, Tang Shengzhi had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being and began to set up camp fifty miles away from Tongguan.

In this attack on the Northwest Army, the morale of Tang Shengzhi's soldiers was high. After all, the previous defeat at the hands of Yang Wei was not just Tang Shengzhi's fault. It can be said that everyone in the camp was well prepared and could only win again this time.

reputation.

Tang Shengzhi, who was standing in the camp, observed the map and discussed strategies to deal with the enemy with his staff.

Just when Tang Shengzhi was having a heated discussion with his staff, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the tent. Tang Shengzhi put down the pen in his hand impatiently and shouted angrily: "What's going on outside?"

The adjutant guarding the door immediately entered the tent, stood at attention and saluted, and then reported: "Report to the commander, a bald monk came to the camp and said he came to beg for food. We were about to drive him out!"

The adjutant quickly winked at the new soldier. Tang Shengzhi's favorite things about gods and Buddhas were known to everyone in the army. However, this new soldier didn't understand the rules and made wild remarks in front of Tang Shengzhi, which immediately made Tang Shengzhi furious.

, without saying a word, he slapped the soldier hard on the face, threw him aside and rushed out of the camp.

When Tang Shengzhi arrived, three or four soldiers were pushing the bald monk out and said impatiently: "Wherever I can give you alms during a march or a battle, you'd better go back to where you came from."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Shengzhi rushed up to several people out of breath, raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't be rude to the master, I will punish you with a day of fasting today!"

The soldier with aggrieved face reluctantly left quietly. Tang Shengzhi came to the monk respectfully and said politely: "Master, please stay. I am the commander of this army. Now I will order people to prepare vegetarian food for the master."

Standing opposite Tang Shengzhi was a monk with disheveled hair and dirty face. After hearing Tang Shengzhi's words, the monk's eyes rolled around, he swallowed his saliva, shook his head and said, "Donors don't need to be polite. I'm a monk.

There is no need to spend so much, just ask the superior to give me a mouthful of dry food."

Tang Shengzhi quickly ordered his soldiers to pack a small bag of dry food, handed it to the monk, and personally took the monk to the entrance of the camp. Just as the monk was about to leave, Tang Shengzhi suddenly stopped him on a whim.

Double respectfully

He clasped his hands and said: "Although I am a soldier, I am devoted to the Buddha. One of the things I wanted to do when I came to Tongguan was to visit the famous Master Baizhang. However, Master Baizhang disappeared without a trace, and there was still a monk who could give me some advice.

, to make a good faith vow."

Looking at Tang Shengzhi's pious appearance, the monk raised his eyebrows and stood up and said, "You mean you want to find a monk who worships your father-in-law?"

Tang Shengzhi looked at the expression on the monk's face and thought to himself that he seemed to have asked the right person. He quickly nodded in surprise and saw the monk smiled calmly and said: "Bowing to the battle, it is the name of the poor monk."

This answer made Tang Shengzhi overjoyed. It took no effort to find it even after trying hard to find it! Tang Shengzhi quickly invited the worshiping master into the camp. Although worshiping was obstructed in every possible way, Tang Shengzhi still ordered someone to prepare a table of vegetarian dishes.

Although it seems very simple, under such circumstances as in a military camp, such a table of vegetarian food is already quite luxurious.

After eating the vegetarian food, Master Baizhan stood up to leave. Tang Shengzhi quickly stopped in front of Baizhan. He prepared such a table of delicious dishes not just to show his sincerity in worshiping the Buddha. Tang Shengzhi rubbed his palms in embarrassment and said

When he was hesitating how to speak, Master Baizhang frowned seriously and said, "Donor, this poor monk sees you looking evil, I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster."

As soon as Master Baizhan finished speaking, Tang Shengzhi's eyelids couldn't help but jump up. After clicking his tongue twice, he held Master Baizhan's hand and cried out for help: "Master, what do you mean by this?"

Master Baizhang waved his hand, looked around with frowning eyebrows, closed his eyes and meditated for a long time before opening his eyes, pointed to the northwest with both eyes, and said: "Twenty steps forward, the Buddha has already revealed it in the dark.

Mystery!"

Tang Shengzhi quickly found the location mentioned by Master Baizhang and sent people to dig the soil. As soon as he dug less than half a meter, he saw that the soil underground was as red as blood.

"This..." Tang Shengzhi looked at Master Baizhang anxiously and said at a loss: "Master, what is going on?"

At this time, the face of the master worshiping his father-in-law was even uglier than that of Tang Shengzhi. He stamped his feet anxiously and said, "Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

"

Tang Shengzhi nodded hurriedly, as if he had regarded his father-in-law as a living god. After waiting for Tang Shengzhi's answer, the living god's face turned pale and said: "Donor, if there is a battle here, the benefactor will probably return defeated."

, when the lives of the people are shed and blood is spilled on the battlefield, I am afraid that the benefactor will never return."

At this time, Tang Shengzhi had no time to shout for the Buddha to appear. With his heart beating like a drum, Tang Shengzhi looked at his father-in-law like a life-saving straw and said, "Master, is there a solution?"

After the master worshiped his father-in-law mysteriously circled around Tang Shengzhi for a few times, his expression improved slightly, and he said loudly: "The bandits cannot be pursued, and you cannot refuse. If you are the head of a unicorn, your family will live alone." Tempering Blood Mountains and Rivers

The anxious Tang Shengzhi had no intention of guessing the riddles and said anxiously: "Master, what do you mean by this? Please give me a detailed explanation."

The master worshiped his father-in-law with his hands clasped together and said: "It's necessary, the secret of heaven cannot be leaked. The poor monk can only point out this point for the donor. As for the mystery, the donor needs to understand it himself. However, the appearance of the donor has its own auspiciousness, which is unique.

It holds the power of the country and the mountains, and its auspicious position is in the southeast."

Tang Shengzhi recited the poem about paying homage to his father-in-law in a low voice. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly sighed: "In order to pay homage to my father-in-law, I..." At this point, Tang Shengzhi paused and waved his hand to all the soldiers around him.

He went to disperse and said in a low voice: "Master, do you mean that I can leap up to the throne of the emperor?"

Although Master Baizhang didn't say anything, he showed a meaningful smile on his face, and said paradoxically: "This matter still needs the help of God by chance. It is better for the poor monk to test a word for the donor to see whether it is good or bad."

Tang Shengzhi nodded hurriedly, pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then gently drew the word "Jiang" on Master Bai Zhang's open palm.

"Good!" Master Baizhang looked at Tang Shengzhi and praised without hesitation: "The benefactor really has great ambitions. If you use grass to suppress the generals, you will definitely achieve great success and achieve a great cause!"

Tang Shengzhi, who was a superstitious believer in gods and Buddhas, believed deeply in the words of Master Baizhang. Master Baizhang nodded happily, refused Tang Shengzhi's request to drive him off, and waved away with a gentle breeze in his sleeves.

And just when Tang Shengzhi was studying the heaven-given mysteries behind closed doors, in a small town inn not far away, the master worshiping his father-in-law sat opposite a young man and told the whole process of his encounter with Tang Shengzhi in detail. The man couldn't help but be satisfied.

He nodded, and finally pushed the gold bar in front of Master Bei-in-law and said, "It's a lot of trouble this time. I hope you will accept your small consideration."
