The Three Kingdoms of Navigation

Chapter 4 Killing and Discussing Buddha

In return from Sanjay, Ferroz was overjoyed and immediately set sail and went straight to the Yue Guoshi. If Feroz was still vigilant at the beginning, when he found that Yue Guoshi's reaction to panic when he saw the sail shadow, he did not have any reservations. In fact, he wanted to keep Pandia and Zheluo. The sailors couldn't help it. They took the lead and fought with Cui Qian, who came out to fight.

The Yue sailors were against the wind and were very slow. They were soon surrounded by several Pandia warships. Seeing that the situation was not good, Cui Qian ordered to set sail and turn around and run away. Seeing the rapid defeat of the front army, the army still watching behind also scratched uneasily. When the leading ship turned its head and sailed away, the other ships were even more chaotic, raising their sails one by one, regardless of the formation, which can be said to collapse at a touch.

The Tianzhu sailors estimated to have fought for more than a month, but now they have become the most relaxed pursuit battle. Dozens of Yue sailors are running in front, and hundreds of Tianzhu joint warships are chasing behind. The speeds of the two sides are comparable, and the distance has been maintained at about a thousand steps. The generals of the Tianzhu sailors are so angry. I can't wait to threaten my wings and fly to the front to block the warship of the Yue Guo Marine Division. They shouted excitedly and cursed, as if the Yue sailors had become their prisoners.

As soon as he fled, he chased, and ran for two days. At the evening of the next day, he arrived at the mouth of Lijiang. The coastline suddenly turned east here. The land was still the territory of the State of the State of the State, but the sea area was Yueguo. Ferroz called the generals to the ship, and the generals scratched them and said that they should not rest and catch up overnight to avoid being run away by the Vietnamese sailors. Ferroz was confident and confidently said to them, "Don't worry. If I think it's good, they won't run again tomorrow, because if we run again, we will enter the border of Vietnam. The arrogant Vietnamese will not sit back and watch us hit them to the door. They will definitely stop and fight. I would like to start a war in Vietnam and defeat them in their territory, which can better combat the arrogance of the Vietnamese people.

The generals were skeptical. Seeing that Ferroz was so confident, he also believed it. Ferroz then sent Sanjay to see Sun Shao again and asked him to spy on Sun Shao. If he didn't surrender, he would die.

Sanjay didn't see Sun Shao and was stopped outside the military camp. Sun Shao replied that it was okay to negotiate. The Tianzhu Marine Division should withdraw from the border of Yue first. The Xuan and the Fu people are Yue people. The war between them is an internal affair. The Tianzhu people can't interfere. You are interfering in my internal affairs. I'm against you. Show strong protest.

Sanjay laughed dumbly. He looked at the nervousness of the Yue Guo sailors in the distance who were ready to set sail and escape at any time. He disdained and turned away. After listening to it, Feroz was also ironic. Yue people were already soft. At this time, as long as he was willing to take a step back, Yue people would definitely be grateful. However, Ferroz did not come to mediate for them. His purpose was to seriously hit the Yue Guo sailors. The weaker the Yue Guo people are, the more impossible it is for him to give up. If Yue Guo is very strong, he is considering it.

Tomorrow's final battle. Ferroz finally gave the order.

In the military camp of the Yue Marine Division, Sun Shao was also in the military discussion. He was chased by the Tianzhu people for two days. Although the generals knew that this was to lure the enemy, they were still very unhappy, especially in charge of the task of fraud. Cui Qian, who had been "defeated" by the Tianzhu Water Division several times, and his face was even more smelly.

"Tomorrow, decisive battle." Sun Shao pointed to Cui Qian: "I am responsible for intercepting them upstream, and the command at sea will be handed over to you."

Cui Qian was overjoyed, and his face immediately turned his eyes.

"However, you can't participate in the war. Your task is to coordinate the generals and defeat all the Tianzhu sailors. A Tianzhu warship escaped. I'm the only one who asks." Sun Shao said seriously, "Jianzhong, you should learn to be a commander, not a soldier who cuts people with a knife."

Although Cui Qian was a little reluctant, he did not dare to neglect it. He quickly held his fist and was ordered: "I obey."

"You should cooperate with all your strength. After fighting this battle, Tianzhuhai is also ours." Sun Shao smiled and looked at Zhuge Zhi: "I promised you that you are the vanguard officer who will go to Tianzhu, but you have to fight a beautiful battle for me first."

"Oh." Zhuge Zhi tried his best to make himself not look so happy and answered loudly, "I will definitely follow General Cui's command, fight bravely, and strive to annihire the Tianzhu Marine Division."

"Very good." After arranging the task, Sun Shao waved his hand faintly: "Go and get ready. I will hold a celebration banquet tomorrow and wait for the news of your victory. It's been more than two hundred miles, and it's time to clean up these A San.

The generals responded and came out.

The next day, Sun Shao's Yingyang building ship crossed one of the many sea tributaries in Lijiang. It seemed to be stranded. When Zhu sailors arrived that day, more than a dozen medium-sized warships were surrounding the building ship, as if they were trying to tow the Yingyang out, but the building ship was too big to be dragged at all. Instead, they were dragged by Tianzhu. The sailor blocked it.

The Tianzhu sailors were ecstatic. The battle was indeed as smooth as ever. The gods and Buddhas in the sky helped. They not only caught up with the Yue sailors, but also blocked the ship of the king of Yue. They dared not expect that Sun Shao, the king of Yue, were still waiting to die here, but it was definitely a proud record for a lifetime to capture the ship of the king of Yue. Without waiting for Ferroz's order, Pandia sailors rushed up first, and Jero sailors immediately followed. Although Ferros was very annoyed, he did not think too much. With an order, Zhuluo sailors also came forward to grab the credit.

As soon as more than a dozen Vietnamese warships saw this scene, they all turned their bows and rushed to the Tianzhu sailors coming from the drum waves. Their formation is very neat and fast, but in the eyes of Tianzhu sailors, this is just the instinct of the hounds who protect the master to be loyal to their duties. If they are tragic, they are tragic, but it doesn't do anything. Can a dozen warships defeat the Tianzhu sailors of more than 300 warships?

Who believes it?

All they have to do is rush up, break off the fangs of the main retriever, break their bones, then peel off their skin, and then tear their owners into pieces.

The drums sounded loudly, and the calm bay immediately turned into a battlefield.

Sun Shao sat cross-legged in the flying belt, with his chin in one hand, and couldn't take his eyes off the bhikshuni sitting opposite him. This young Buddhist disciple's cultivation is not shallow, but she is still very puzzled that Sun Shao called her to preach the scriptures at this time. There has been a fierce battle outside. In her opinion, Yue was at a disadvantage, and the building ship was trapped again. It was basically a dead end. Sun Shao probably smelled the breath of death, so he had to listen to Buddhism in the end.

However, if you listen to the Dharma at this time, can you turn the crisis into safety? Even though Bhikkhuni firmly believed in the Buddha, he felt that the idea was a little ridiculous, so when Sun Shao asked her with a smile on the corners of her mouth, she thought for a long time and told a story.

Buddha once crossed the river, and there was an old man in the same boat, and the old man brought a lot of gold. When the boat reached the middle of the river, it broke and the water poured in. The people on the boat were busy running for their lives. Many people swam to the shore. Although the old man also grabbed a board, the gold he brought was too heavy, and he was reluctant to throw gold, so although he struggled hard, he finally drowned. The people next to him asked the Buddha, why didn't you save the old man, but watched him drown? Buddha said that a person who can't give up something outside can't be saved.

Sun Shao stared at Bhikkhuni's delicate face with no expression, which made him very uneasy. His heart, which he thought was very firm, was also a little flustered and unnaturally avoided Sun Shao's eyes. Sun Shao smiled and said, "Do you mean that even if I believe in Buddhism now, the Buddha will not save me?"

"No... that's not what I mean." Bhikkhuni shook his head quickly: "I mean, you can only be saved if you put down the external object."

"Put down the external object?" Sun Shao turned his eyes twice and seemed to be very puzzled. He said narrowly, "Are you asking me to throw this boat, take off my clothes, and run naked?" In the end, he felt a little spoofed and couldn't help laughing.

Bhikshuni blushed and unnaturally glanced at Sun Shao's chest. She seemed to think of Sun Shao's naked appearance. She shook her head in embarrassment: "It's not exactly. You have to let go of the gains and losses and give up the fight, so that you can be rescued."

"Put down your weapons. That's surrender. I don't think Ferroz will let me go." Sun Shao shook his head slowly with a very tragic look: "I think it's better to lift a knife and rush out to kill a bloody road than to wait for the Buddha to save."

"..." Bhikkhuni was speechless, and Sun Shao was not in a hurry. He sat there silently and looked at Bhikkhuni to say something.

Outside the cabin, ten warships, led by General Yan Dunwu, broke into the Tianzhu sailor like a wolf. Although they were on the top, they did not sail. Instead, more than 60 strong men shook the paddle wheels with all their strength, driving the narrow warship forward, and the sharp blade-like bow split the jasper-like sea. Like a flying fish, it almost flies close to the water. In the face of the Tianzhu sailors, the Yue sailors showed great contempt. They did not even use the strong crossbow in the bow, but drove the boat directly. They used the most primitive and effective maritime tactics to teach the Tianzhu people a lesson.

Ten warships dragged out ten white waves on the sea, like ten sharp arrows, neatly plunged into the formation of the Tianzhu people.

The collision occurred in an instant.

The Pandia sailors who ran in the front did not pay attention to the ten warships at all. In their opinion, this was just a suicide behavior of the Vietnamese. In their eyes, they only saw the stranded ship and the wealth on the ship. They all heard about the luxury of the ship and wanted to be the first to rush on the ship. Take away the most valuable things.

At this time, who will pay attention to the ten ships? In front of the tide of Tianzhu sailors, they are just insignificant waves. After one round, these ten ships will be submerged in the tide and no trace can be seen.

Then, the facts are very different from what the Tianzhu people imagined. The battleship of the Yue Marine Division, which occurred in the collision, was like a sharp razor. It shook the oncoming Tianzhu warship violently. The plate tied with brown silk could not resist the powerful impact. After a bad moan, it cracked cracks, and the sea water surged in, and soon passed the Tianzhu soldiers. Foot surface. They screamed in panic and no longer cared about the boat nearby. Instead, they began to scoop water and plug the loopholes in a hurry. However, because of their fearlessness, both sides exerted their strength. The force of the collision was too great, and the gap was wide, and the speed of the influx of seawater could not be made up by them by scooping water at all.

Compared with their fears, the Yue sailors were too lazy to cheer. They drove an undamaged warship and rushed forward without hesitation, and soon collided with another Tianzhu warship.

"Wooh!" With a sound, another Tianzhu warship was injured.

Ten warships drew ten white lines. Wherever they went, the Tianzhu warship man turned over, and there was no general. When the first injured Tianzhu warship was still shouting, they had already penetrated into the Tianzhu people's array. When the front Tianzhu warship began to sink, and the Tianzhu soldiers began to flutter in the water in despair, They have killed the Pandia Marine Division, facing the Zheluo Marine Division head-on.

Zheluo sailors looked at the Yue sailors who came out of the Pandia sailors and were puzzled. Although the Pandia Marine Division in front of them injured many warships and exclaimed everywhere, the Zheluo Marine Division was nearly 300 steps away from them. At this distance, they could not see what had happened in the Pandia Marine Division's array at all, and the overall formation of the Pandia Marine Division has not changed, and it is difficult to find anything from the appearance. .

Is it possible that there are only these ships left in the Vietnam Marine Division? The general of Zheluo Marine Division suddenly surged with a strong jealousy, and this time he was preempted by the Pandias.

"Your Majesty, General Dun and others have penetrated the first battle of the Tianzhu people." Guan Xing, who watched the battle, trotted in and whispered with uncontrollable excitement. Dunwu and others attacked brazenly, which was beyond his expectation. He felt that no matter how strong the Yue sailors were, it was also bad luck to attack the Tianzhu people's battle array with ten warships. Unexpectedly, Dunwu and others were as successful as broken bamboo. Ten warships collided a total of 17 Tianzhu people's warships. Wherever they went, such as Tangpoxue, Tianzhu people were They had no power to fight back, and the original complete formation was suddenly cut apart.

"Is it?" Sun Shao raised his eyelids, glanced at Guan Xing with a happy face, and said casually, "How about Tianzhu people?"

"Three ships have sunk, and the remaining 14 are rushing to the shore. They should not be able to escape the encirclement of General Zhou and others."

"Well, you continue to watch it." Sun Shao waved his hand and looked at the bhikkhuni with a smile on his face: "It seems that my method is better."

"However, killing is a sinful karma. If you have a sinful karma, you will be reincarnated in the next life..." Bhikshuni swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to say any more.

"Be a pig and dog in your next life and be killed?" Sun Shao smiled, and then put away his smile. He frowned and looked at the bottom of the cabin, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he asked, "Is killing a crime?"

Bhikshuni nodded heavily, and there was a kind of naivety in the world.

"Well, I wonder why you became a bhikshuni?" Sun Shao suddenly asked curiously, "Have you been practicing since you were a child?"

"I have practiced since I was a child, but I didn't become a monk. Instead, I became a monk. I didn't become a monk until I was 20 years old. I received a full precept and became a bhikshuni." The bhikshuni couldn't hide his complacency: "I am the youngest bhikshuni under the master's seat, and I am also the purest."

"Your master... is called Master Ananda, right?"

Bhikshuni frowned, shook his head and said, "We are not called masters, but Aliye, that is, people with high virtue and wisdom are respected people. In the words of you Yue people, it should be called... called..."

Bhikkhuni thought for a long time and didn't come up with a suitable word, so he had to look at Zhou Yu, who was a translator, for help. Zhou Yu said lightly, "I think the word "Son" is more appropriate."

Sun Shao glanced at Zhou Yu, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes. Zhou Yu was originally a very lively woman. Since the accident, she began to become quiet, but she had never been as quiet as in front of her. Compared with this bhikshuni, bhikshuni is a kind of innocence that has never been stained by the filth of the world, but she is a kind of loneliness that sees through the world. Silence.

At the thought of this word, Sun Shao suddenly felt a little uneasy. He withdrew his eyes and looked at Bhikshuni again, but Yu Guang was paying attention to Zhou Yu's face.

"How do you practice? Is it meditation?"

When it comes to professional vocabulary, the poor Chinese of the bhikshuni is not complete. She muttered a while of Sanskrit, and then looked at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu then took over: "Zen meditation is just an external form, sitting but not meditation, not meditation. Their practice is called Zen, and the point is the point.

"What do you see?" Sun Shao then asked.

Zhou Yu replied, "Give the Buddha, the mind, the concept, the visual the visual, and the sound of the world. Look at the past life, look at the present life, look at the next life. View is not the purpose. The purpose of view is empty. It is to stop. It is not to think, and it is not that it does not want to..."

Sun Shao looked at Zhou Yu, who was talking talkingly, and looked at her lifeless eyebrows. Suddenly, there was a burst of heartache. He never expected that he just took the little nun as a pleasure as a pastime. As a result, Zhou Yu, the person who advised him to understand Buddhism and then found a solution, was poisoned by Buddhism first. Hearing what she said, He knew that Zhou Yu himself was afraid that he had believed in this set of teachings.

Sun Shao didn't know what to say for a moment. The arrogant war drums outside suddenly left him, leaving only Zhou Yu's clear voice in his ear. Sun Shao was a little confused. He didn't feel this way when he listened to the little nun's scriptures, because he didn't believe her teachings at all. He just took her happy and looked at her expression when she was speechless by himself. He had never understood why the Venerable Ananda, who had the same name as one of the two venerable people around the Buddha in Journey to the West, was so A bhikkhuni came to persuade him to convert to Buddhism. Didn't he send the sheep to the wolf's mouth? However, he suddenly understands that it is the purity of this bhikshuni that at least he will not avoid it at first sight. At the same time, it is easy to communicate with the women around him. Zhou Yu is the most direct example.

This Venerable Ananda is actually quite well-versed.

"Your Majesty, General Cui and others surrounded the Tianzhu people." Guan Xing came in again and said happily.

"Is it?" Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses. He stood up, walked out of the hatch, took a look at the Qianli eyes handed over by Guan Xing, and raised a smile at the corners of his mouth: "I caught this big fish. It's not in vain this time." After saying that, he returned Qianliyan to Guan Xing. He returned to the cabin and sat back in the main position again. He put his hand on his forehead, scratched his eyebrows with his little thumb. After a while, he said, "Ayu, have you read me?"

"I have read it." Zhou Yu didn't understand what Sun Shao meant for a while. How can I talk about the Buddhist scriptures?

"What you said is empty, what you don't want to think, and it's not that you don't want to. Is it a little similar to the mysterious realm I said?" Sun Shao raised his eyelids and looked into Zhou Yu's eyes. Zhou Yu thought for a few words, turned her head and said a few words to Gyuni. Bhikkhuni listened carefully and asked a few more questions carefully. The two of them came and went, and soon they quarreled again, as if they had different opinions. Finally, Zhou Yu looked at Sun Shao again and said, "She doesn't know if it's the same. It seems to be a little similar, but it seems to be a little different."

"Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. Nameless, is it a little similar to their emptiness and color?

Zhou Yu frowned and meditated. After a long time, she nodded silently: "It seems to be, but it doesn't seem to be. I can't tell for a moment."

"Do you believe everything you can't tell?" Sun Shao suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly: "What's the difference between the so-called Guan Zen and 'to the virtual pole, guarding Jing Du'? What's the difference between thinking and trance and trance? Ask her what the Buddha finally realized after sitting under the bodhi tree for seven days. Buddhism is divided into 20 parts, the Theravada Department and the Popular Department. Is there a unified answer to this question?

Sun Shao's drinking echoed with the passionate drums suddenly sounded outside the cabin, which suddenly shocked Zhou Yu's mind. Even the bhikshuni, who couldn't understand what Sun Shao was talking about, was suppressed by Sun Shao's sudden burst of momentum. She stared at Sun Shao in a daze and panicked. She gained the calm ice after years of cultivation. The sales disintegrate.

The cabin was silent, and Zhou Yu fell into meditation.

However, there was a shout of killing outside the cabin. Cui Qian led the army from afar. Five buildings were lined up, shrinking the encirclement smaller and smaller. At the same time, the crossbows and crossbows on the building were constantly roaring, scattering stone balls and crossbows and arrows at the back of Tianzhu sailors. They beat the poles one after another, hitting in turn, within the range of attack. The Tianzhu warships were often broken, and none of them were spared. They left a mess behind them. The warships that had to escape from the sky had to face the strong attack of more than 20 warships that were dragged behind.

With the arrival of Cui Qian and others, the war situation quickly tilted towards the Vietnam Marine Division. Although the Tianzhu Marine Division had many people and many ships, in the face of the attack of the Vietnam Marine Division, they were unable to deal with it. They could only watch the enemy push forward and continue to extend to the front.

The two buildings of Zhou Xun and Zhuge Zhi took the lead in rushing out of the battle, one left and one right, and straight to the ship of Ferroz, King Zhuluo.
