Brocade legend

Chapter 56 Arriving at the Xuan Mansion
As an official of the imperial court, Lu Bing didn't know how to respond after hearing this, so he changed the subject, pointed to the two men who were held down and knelt on the ground, and asked Huang Duxian, "Who are these two?"

Huang Duxian saw that Lu Bing asked about those two people, and said with a smile: "These two are the bandit leaders, one of them is the escaped spy from Dongchang, and the identity of the other... I'd better ask you yourself!"

Lu Bingqi asked: "The two captured by the senior?"

Huang Duxian said with a smile: "Actually, the grass people didn't go far away. I saw the master's clever plan to defeat the bandit soldiers from afar, and saw these two people fleeing secretly with a dozen people, so I chased them. Shunfeng used some smoke , I knocked down most of them, and I beheaded the rest, leaving only the two leaders."

Lu Bing walked up to those two people, looked at the spy who was pointed out by Huang Duxian as the spy of Dongchang, and said: "Your colleagues have committed suicide, why don't you commit suicide?"

Huang Duxian followed and said with a smile: "He really wanted to, but before he could, I snatched the wax pills wrapped in poison."

Lu Bing clasped his fists and said to Huang Duxian: "Senior is really experienced!"

Huang Duxian smiled modestly.

Lu Bing said to Jin Yiwei who was holding down the East Factory spy: "Pull this one out and kill him."

The Jin Yiwei took the order and dragged the spy out, but the spy snorted coldly and didn't resist.

Huang Duxian was taken aback when he saw this situation, and asked, "My lord, what is the meaning of this?"

Lu Bing smiled and said: "If we ask this way, he will definitely not say it, and I am too lazy to interrogate." Lu Bing turned to the bandit leader and said, "I think the remaining spies from Dongchang must have gone to the capital. And Xuanfu. The one who is about to die is the one who contacted you to intercept and kill me, so who are you?"

The bandit leader, who was tall and rough, heard Lu Bing's question, snorted coldly, turned his head, and did not answer.

"Bold!" Jin Yiwei, who was pressing down on him, was furious, and pinched the hand on the back of his neck hard, causing him to sweat profusely from the pain, and screamed out.

Lu Bing shook his head at the Jinyiwei, and the Jinyiwei let go.The bandit leader fell on the ground with a pale face.

Lu Bing casually said: "I'm sure you won't say it, but I won't let you die so easily. I won't ask you now. I'll let you speak slowly on the way. You can gain a little bit of insight into Jinyiwei's methods." road."

The bandit leader trembled all over, but he still didn't speak.

Lu Bing ignored him, and waved his hand to let the Jin Yiwei push him down.

Huang Duxian asked curiously: "My lord...don't ask anything?"

Lu Bingsu Yan said: "Actually, there is nothing to ask. It's just that some people are involved. Now, the news here must have spread, and we must rush to the Xuanfu army as soon as possible. For specific information, let Zhu Liu go slowly." Slow down on the torture." Lu Bing sneered: "With Zhu Liu here, there is no news that cannot be dug out."

Huang Duxian thought of Zhu Liu's ruthlessness, so he stopped talking.

Yang Sen took two Jin Yiwei, drove a carriage, took Huang Duxian's wife and various family assets, and left first.

Lu Bing also immediately announced his departure and rushed to the Xuanfu army as soon as possible.

. .

Xuanfu Town occupies the land of Jizhou, and it was Shanggu County in Qin and Han Dynasties.

In the first year of Huitong, Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, that is, in 938 A.D., after Shi Jingtang of the Later Jin Dynasty cut off the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and dedicated them to Khitan, it belonged to the Liao Kingdom.

After Jin destroyed Liao Dynasty, it belonged to gold.

In Yuan Dynasty, it belonged to Shangdu Road of Zhongshu Province, and in Ming Dynasty, it belonged to Beijing Normal University.

When discussing the geographical situation of the Great Wall in Xuanfu Town, Gu Zuyu said in the "Minutes of Reading History and Fangyu": "Xuanfu, "Nanping is the capital, then controls the desert, left to control the danger of mediocrity, and right to embrace the solidity in the cloud", which is an important frontier.

Xuanfu Town has always been a battleground for military strategists, and its strategic position is very important.In total, there are 110 miles of Bianyuan, 270 and 190 Bian Piers, and [-] and [-] entrances.Especially after the Ming Dynasty established its capital in Beijing, Xuanfu Town was the place to defend the capital and defend the throat of the Mongols going south.Cheng Daosheng of the Ming Dynasty said in "Nine Borders Map Research": "The disputes over the mountains and rivers of Xuanfu, the land is dangerous and narrow, and the construction of sub-tunnels will be twice as large as other towns. Therefore, it is known as easy to defend because of its complete momentum. However, it is not four hundred miles away from the capital. Where the key is sent, the key is known."

Lu Bing and the others made a round trip to northern Shaanxi, and after subduing Huang Duxian, they obtained the information they wanted, but in the end they accidentally missed the opportunity.

After that, as expected, there were constant attacks along the way, and bandits and bandits appeared one after another. Fortunately, Lu Bing and others did not love to fight, and rushed all the way to Xuanfu.

But after arriving at the Xuan Mansion, there were more than 50 people, more than a dozen were lost, and the rest were also injured.The hardships here will not be detailed one by one.

When Lu Bing and the others arrived at the Xuanfu, they did not see Tang Long, the general governor of northern Xinjiang, nor did they see Bi Yun and other people from the Imperial Horse Supervisor. After inquiring, they found out that they were living in the former army tent outside the city.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Bing decided to find a place to live and wait for Yang Sen to bring reinforcements.

And Zhu Liu had already succeeded in digging out information from the bandit leader, and dealt with him cleanly.The people who attacked that time could be described as a mixed bag.

The bandit leader is indeed a remnant of the White Lotus Sect, but to be precise, he should belong to the Maitreya Sect.

Speaking of Maitreya religion, Lu Bing thought of one person.

It has been passed down for a long time from ancient times to the present, and it is a rebellious and addictive sect.

The White Lotus Sect is a pseudo-Maitreya religion, and it is a mixture of Manichaeism, Taoism, White Lotus Sect and folk beliefs. It belongs to the religious bandit association in the Pure Land religion system.

Among them, the Maitreya Sect is a religious group that worships Maitreya Buddha. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, ambitious elements have repeatedly used the name of Maitreya's reincarnation to plot rebellion.

However, Manichaeism was introduced into my country during the Empress Wu of the Tang Dynasty. Because Tang Wuzong rejected Buddhism, Manichaeism was also banned, and it went underground. Because the religion advocated light, the god it worshiped was called King Ming, so it was renamed Mingjiao.

The teachings of these two religions both contain thoughts of dissatisfaction with the status quo and longing for the future, and there are many similarities in rituals such as burning incense and eating fast. After the two religions came into contact, they naturally tended to merge.Whenever real politics disappointed the people, rumors of the birth of Maitreya and King Ming naturally emerged.

In addition, Taoism is an inherent belief in our country, and Maitreya and Mingjiao, which are spread among the people, are inevitably influenced by it.Therefore, the White Lotus Sect, which arose in the Yuan Dynasty, also integrated the three beliefs of Maitreya, Mingjiao, and Taoism.

In addition, another source of the White Lotus Sect is the White Lotus Society.

Hui Yuan, an eminent monk in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, founded the Bailian Society in Lushan Mountain, where he intensively practiced the samadhi and prayed for rebirth in the Western Pure Land.

In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Cizhao Ziyuan, that is, Mao Ziyuan, admired Huiyuan’s legacy of building the Bailian Society, so he advocated a group of common people who recited Buddhism, that is, Bailianzong. At the beginning, believers were called Bailiancai. Pear's distorted teachings were considered to be a kind of evil sect at the end of the Song Dynasty, which prevailed in the south of the Yangtze River.

As for the name of the White Lotus Society, it came from the association of Du Wanyi in the capital county of the south of the Yangtze River in the 18th year of Yuan Shizu to Yuan Dynasty.

At this time, it is not clear whether there is a connection with the Bailian disciple of the Ziyuan system, but there is a connection with the Bailian Buddhist deeds.

The Bailianhui was regarded as a traitor in the Yuan Dynasty, so it was suppressed, and the name of the Bailianhui was banned, as well as all heresy techniques for troubled times.

　In the next two chapters, I will introduce some things that I find interesting, such as Bailianjiao, Wang Shouren, etc. If you don’t like these friends, just read and fast-forward.
