Good morning Daming

Chapter 1057 Breaking the Heart Demon
The morning light quietly emerges in the sky.

Teams of cavalry appeared in the city. They looked at the people happily talking about hunting down the Japanese pirates. Someone said, "They are not afraid anymore?"

"Many things are just like what happens between a man and a woman. At first, they are ignorant of each other, and they only have a half-understanding of each other, so they have all kinds of fantasies. After they get married, they find out, oh! So he (she) is like this! These people have never seen the Japanese pirates, they just heard about them from others. They exaggerated the Japanese pirates through rumors. Now that the mystery is gone, they are naturally not afraid anymore."

"Master, you know so much." Sun Chonglou said worriedly, "But...but I really don't understand Hua Yan!"

"It's best not to know many things." Jiang Qingzhi saw a few teenagers beating a Japanese pirate on horseback, smiled and turned a blind eye. "The more you know, the more troubles you will have. It's better to live a life of ignorance and be happier."

This is Jiang Qingzhi's heartfelt words. Some people say that living like this is a muddle, but how can one not be muddle-headed? The more you understand and the more books you read, the more you think you have seen through the world and understood life. In fact, that is another kind of confusion.

As long as they are alive, humans will never be able to see through themselves and the world.

"Amitabha, what Master said is very true."

There were several monks on the street. The leading monk bowed with one hand and said, "Wealth is a lifetime, poverty is a lifetime. No matter whether you are rich or poor, it is just an experience."

The monk's cheeks were sunken and his eyes were bright. When his gaze passed over Sun Chonglou, it paused for a moment.

"Where did you come from, great monk?" Seeing that Sun Chonglou was still confused, Jiang Qingzhi really wanted to kick him.

Xu Wei was watching from the sidelines and whispered, "Those outsiders are quite interested in stones."

Sun Bu Tong said, "Last time, the great monk from the Western Regions said that the stone had wisdom and was a Buddhist Vajra, and that sooner or later he would return to Buddhism. That time, Master Bo was really angry."

"What Vajra? That's just a lie." Xu Wei said playfully, "In the eyes of Buddhists, the flesh is just a bag of skin, just a tool to carry the soul. If the stone is a Buddhist Vajra, then isn't that treating the flesh as me?"

"No!"

Xu Wei's voice was not loud, but the monk's hearing was amazing, and he actually heard him say, "The body is also destined by fate. Whether you are tall or thin is all determined by fate."

Xu Wei raised an eyebrow, "So the monk's body is God's will?"

"Exactly."

"Since God has given you this body, why are you treating it so harshly?"

At this moment, the morning light gradually rose, and everyone took a closer look and was shocked.

There was a big bug on the monk's face. The bug bit his cheek tightly. The monk seemed unaware and continued to smile. "The Buddha gave his body to feed the eagle. This is God's will. This bug crawled onto my face in the middle of the night. This is also God's will. Since it is God's will, I will ignore it."

"Then why did the monk come here?" Xu Wei said, "During this chaotic time, why didn't the monk stay in the temple to enjoy the food and drink? Is he here to beg for alms?"

There is a source for this saying. When the Japanese pirates attacked the coastal areas, they would often let the other side off and even pray outside the temple.

From this, Fangwai knew the attitude of the Japanese pirates. When the Japanese pirates attacked again, there was chaos outside, but Fangwai continued to live his life. In the sound of morning bells and evening drums, he ate vegetarian meals and recited scriptures...

This guy's poisonous tongue... Jiang Qingzhi's eyelids twitched, and he felt that sooner or later Xu Wei would suffer a great loss because of that mouth.

"Amitabha." The monk chanted the Buddha's name and said, "Last night, Japanese pirates entered the city, shouting and killing, and the poor monk led his disciples out of the mountain gate to treat the wounded and put out the fire..."

Jiang Qingzhi nodded slightly, thinking that this kind of Fangwai was a good Fangwai.

"I heard that Chang Wei Bo disliked the Japanese pirates and always slaughtered them after capturing them."

The monk raised his head and looked at Jiang Qingzhi calmly, "God has the virtue of loving life. Every blade of grass, every flower, every tree, every person, every animal, even the rocks, the mountains, the rivers... all have spirits. Why don't you let go, Lord Changwei?"

Jiang Qingzhi smiled and took out his medicine cigarette. "I was wondering why you came here, Master. It turns out it's for this." He pointed at the Japanese pirates kneeling on the street and said, "Master, do you know what they have done?"

"Endless killing."

"Then why does the great monk still want to plead for them?"

"In my eyes, there is no distinction between friend and foe, all living beings are equal. Since they have surrendered, it is God's will. God wants them to live, so, following the will of God is the order. What do you think, Long Wei Bo?"

Jiang Qingzhi chuckled. Boll handed him the firewood. He shielded the wind with one hand, lowered his head to light the medicine smoke, took a deep breath, and said, "What is God's will? What is the way of heaven? Is it God's will that the people along the coast of my Ming Dynasty be slaughtered by Japanese pirates?"

Sun Bu Tong didn't catch up, so he put away the firewood in dismay and asked Xu Wei: "Mr. Xu, what does this monk mean by heaven's will?"

"God's will?" Xu Wei sneered. "For thousands of years, so-called God's will has emerged one after another. How much of it is God's will and how much is human will? Who knows?"

Sun Bu Tong was startled, "Could it be fake?"

People nowadays are very awed by these mysterious things, but Jiang Qingzhi is different.

"Since the great monk said it was God's will and mentioned Heaven's Way, then guess, is it God's will to let these pirates live or let them die?"

Jiang Qingzhi shook off the cigarette ash and smiled gently.

Xu Wei shuddered, and Sun Bu Tong was surprised, "Is it very cold?"

"Originally, the master was planning to keep the Japanese pirates captured in this battle, saying that he would present them to the capital. Now... this monk has committed a sin of killing. Amitabha."

Xu Wei chanted the Buddha's name in a hypocritical manner.

Sun Bu Tong was puzzled.

But the monk looked unhappy, hesitated again and again, and did not dare to speak.

Jiang Qingzhi smiled and said, "I understand what the monk means. The Japanese pirates killing the people of the Ming Dynasty is the will of heaven and in accordance with the way of heaven. In other words, those people deserve to die."

The people around understood what was going on when they heard this. They glared at the monks and some even cursed him in a low voice.

The great monk sighed, "When will the cycle of revenge end? You kill me, I kill you, it's endless, and it goes against the Buddha's compassionate heart."

"Then why didn't it be our Ming Dynasty that killed the Japanese pirates?" Jiang Qingzhi asked back.

The monk was silent.

"Why is it not God's will if I kill the prisoners? Can you teach me, Master?" Jiang Qingzhi asked again.

Sun Chonglou's eyes lit up, "Yes, Master, you said that it was God's will for the Japanese pirates to kill the people, then why was it not God's will for the young master to kill the Japanese pirates? Can't the Japanese pirates be killed?"

"Yes! It's all God's will. Why are the Japanese pirates superior to us?"

"Master, you are not authentic."

"You eat the rice of the Ming Dynasty, but you speak for the Japanese pirates. Don't you feel guilty?"

Amid the condemnation, the monk sighed, "Chang Wei Bo should think carefully. Killing people without limit... will definitely bring troubles in the future."

"You mean karma?" "Yes. You reap what you sow."

"But I have seen many people who have killed countless people live happily and have long lives. Why?" Jiang Qingzhi said calmly, "What is karma? If there is karma, why do the people who work hard in the fields live in poverty, while those who do not work can live in wealth?"

"This is fate," said the monk.

"The fate of those people is also their fate?" Jiang Qingzhi said, "Then I will go against the will of heaven and reverse this damn fate!"

The monk looked up, with a look of surprise in his eyes, "Chang Wei Bo... aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"

"Their true colors have been revealed." Xu Wei said softly, "Let someone keep an eye on them later."

Sun Bu Tong nodded, "I know."

Jiang Qingzhi laughed, "God's punishment? If it's all God's will, then what I do is not God's will? Why would God punish me?"

Monk: “…”

"Everything is planned by God. You came out to persuade me today, but I didn't listen... Is this God's will?"

Monk: “…”

"Somebody come!"

"Uncle!"

A general stepped forward.

Jiang Qingzhi pointed at the captives and said, "They were all killed at the north gate. Their bodies are...stones."

"Master!"

Sun Chonglou came over excitedly.

Jiang Qingzhi said: "Build a Jingguan!"

"Leader!"

Some of the captives heard Jiang Qingzhi's order and immediately struggled and shouted.

The people were also stunned for a moment. Some said, "These bastards have killed so many people that it's no exaggeration to say they are unforgivable. Killing them will bring merit!"

"That makes sense."

"My uncle died at the hands of Japanese pirates." A young man breathed rapidly, picked up a wooden stick, thought for a moment, and then chopped at the Japanese pirates without thinking.

Amid the howlings, the common people followed suit and the long street was suddenly in chaos. The pirates rolled on the ground, and the common people hacked them with sticks or knives.

"Help!" screamed a Japanese pirate who was beaten by the people.

Jiang Qingzhi: “…”

Monk: “…”

The soldiers who were preparing to execute the sentence: "..."

The monk looked at the excited yet ferocious people and sighed, "They were originally good people, but today they have killed people. From now on, they will have a violent and murderous aura in their bones, which will be passed down to their descendants...Chang Wei Bo, this is a disaster."

"No, it's a blessing." Jiang Qingzhi said calmly: "Nowadays, it's a world of great strife. If you don't kill people, others will rush into your house and kill you. Being killed or killing people? Of course it's killing people."

The monk shook his head and left with a few disciples.

Soon, the people dispersed, leaving only hundreds of corpses lying on the long street.

"The sun is out," a child shouted.

Jiang Qingzhi looked to the right and saw a half-circle of red sun rising from the horizon, illuminating the city of Hangzhou with golden light.

He narrowed his eyes, "This Ming Dynasty is different after all."

……

Sasaki Chigi was lucky. He rushed out of the water gate with more than a hundred of his men. After leaving the water gate, his first reaction was to take a detour. "Since Jiang Qingzhi had been prepared, there must be someone blocking us ahead. Let's take a detour."

They made a circle and indeed did not encounter any interception.

"The leader is wise!"

Amidst the fanfare, they saw the sea.

"I will be back." Sasaki Chiki looked back at Hangzhou City. Thinking of the thousands of troops he had when he set out, but now there are only a hundred or so defeated soldiers, he couldn't help but feel sad.

"When we get back, we'll tell the big names in the country that Jiang Qingzhi intends to attack our country. We can use this opportunity to recruit soldiers and horses, and then come back to fight again!"

Sasaki Chigi gnashed his teeth and suddenly laughed, "That idiot Jiang Qingzhi, since he prepared an ambush in the city, why didn't he intercept us on the beach? What a famous general, hahahaha!"

He found that he was the only one laughing, while his men were staring blankly at the seaside.

Sasaki Chiaki turned around.

seaside.

Waves swept in one after another.

Right at the forefront of the wave, more than a thousand people stood quietly.

The leading man looked very young.

"Your Highness!"

Hua Yan asked, "Should we attack?"

King Jing drew his sword and his eyes gradually turned red.

"In this battle, no prisoners will be taken!"
