Chapter 407: Decline the invitation

The method proposed by the beginning is "change lives".

Just as Kou Qianzhi once thought of channeling yang energy to Tuoba Tao, Buddhism thought of the opposite, they wanted to "extend life" for He Mulan.

The Nirvana Master has a secret technique that allows one person to renew the life of another person, and the person who renews the life of another person needs to be voluntary, and the deeper the Dharma, the higher the cultivation, and the longer the life will be extended.

As long as He Mulan agreed to the conditions of the beginning, the beginning was willing to sacrifice his life to renew the life of He Mulan, although he didn't know why He Mullan would rather die than learn the art of male and female dual cultivation, but he also thought that maybe He Mullan could not be humane or practiced Tongzigong or something like that, so he proposed this method.

The status of the beginning in the Nirvana Master should not be low, even Tan Yun is obsessed with the disciple ceremony, he is willing to sacrifice his life to save He Mulan, it is nothing more than to let her match the Buddha, just like Kou Qianzhi caught up with Cui Hao, and then affected Tuoba Tao's decision.

A person like him who ascended from Weihan to a high position must not want to die, so his mention will definitely be ......

"I'm leaving!"

He Mulan nodded at the Beginning, reached out and pulled the Master of Compassion in his direction, forcibly taking him away from the Beginning.

She was afraid that they would take compassion as a hostage.

This kind of exhibition made all the monks in the room stunned, especially Qi Shi, his face became extremely ugly, if it weren't for the fact that his lower body didn't know why he couldn't move, I'm afraid he would have stood up.

"We just want a guarantee from the donor, and even this donor is not willing?!" His expression was like looking at a madman, "You may not even survive this year!" "

Compassion was held in Hermulan's hand, and after a few twists, he couldn't twist it, so he could only smile bitterly and go with her. He Mulan gestured to everyone to withdraw, and his movements and expressions were tantamount to treating the Reincarnation Temple as some kind of Longtan Tiger's Den.

"I'm not going to work with someone who has plotted against me. What's more, can you really represent Buddhism?" He Mulan's voice became low, "Just as you want to talk to His Majesty, if you want to trade anything with others, you must at least have a unified voice, right?" Are you already the leader of Buddhism?"

As far as he is, he still represents Buddhism?

Amusing!

"Presumptuous!"

"Don't be unreasonable to Master Shishi!"

This sentence may have poked the sore spot of these monks, and everyone rebuked them. He Mulan was not afraid of these people, so he took the Master of Compassion in his hand, retreated to the entrance step by step, and left the meditation room with everyone.

She was worried that there was a mechanism here, so after a whistle in the ancient times, five hundred tiger soldiers outside the temple rushed into the temple to meet them, but in a moment, the two sides gathered together, and went down to Tianti Mountain without looking back.

Just after they ran out of the temple gate, they could still hear Tan Yun's shout in the distance: "You will come back!" Only my master in the world can save you! If you change your mind, just go to any temple and send a letter! "

In his words, he seemed to be very sure.

The group of people went down the mountain, and after walking straight halfway and no one followed, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Jie saw that the master of compassion was still confused, and couldn't help but complain: "Why did the master tell these people about the general!" If he spreads the word and says everywhere that our general is dying, it will be a big mess! "

Compassion looked at everyone suspiciously, "Why are you so wary of Master Shishi? He's just a great monk. As the commander of the Tiger Army, is General Hua still afraid of a little monk?"

"He's a member of the Heavenly King's faction. In Xiu'an's ambush that almost killed me and plunged me into an illusion, it was the disciple named Tan Yun behind him."

He Mullan's face was ugly.

"You also heard what he said later, he wants to go to Wei to preach Buddha, wants to get close to His Majesty, and hopes that I can match him, but I will not send such a scheming and unscrupulous person to His Majesty."

Hearing this, Cixin nodded in understanding.

"I see, but you're not right, the people from the Heavenly King Sect have already arrived at His Majesty's side......"

He pointed to the east.

"Isn't that Master Tan Wuyu already in Pingcheng?"

"What!"

"You say Master Tan Wuyu is in league with them?"

"What does Master Compassion mean, Tan Wuyu deliberately went to the palace to save me so that he could get acquainted with His Majesty?"

"Amitabha, the poor monk is just a wild monk, where do you know so many things." The Master of Compassion immediately changed his image of wisdom just now, and pretended to be stupid, "I'm just talking about it casually."

Only He Mulan's expression was heavy, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.

Tan Wuyu obviously offended Fuqu Muqian on the surface, so he had to stay in Wei for refuge, but was he really afraid that something would happen when he went back? Frustrated Meng Xun was still obedient to him and named him a "national teacher", how could he really kill him because he failed in his spell for a while and saved himself?

Only when you get to Beiliang can you understand how powerful the Buddha is. There are even more Buddhist temples here than inns, and it is said that there are hundreds of Buddhist caves in Dunhuang, and there are countless murals painted with gold and color. If you enter a temple casually, the brass Buddha statue can blind people's eyes.

In this era, pure copper is called "purple gold" and can be made for money!

Not to mention that there are many monks in the prime of life in the Buddhist temple, and these monks are all strong and have martial arts. Once it really wants to be used, it will be a huge number of monks.

The wealthy officials of Beiliang all support Buddhist temples, there are many believers, and the material resources are endless, and the monks can even enter and leave the mansions of these officials at will....... [,! ]

The real power of Beiliang is not the royal family, but these temples are.

And in the Wei State, Tan Wuyu obviously didn't get such treatment, and Buddhism didn't have such soil, so what did Tan Wuyu stay for?

Is it really for the purpose of translating the Scriptures?

"General, why is your face so ugly?"

Na Luo Hun asked her a little uneasily, "Is there something wrong?"

"We're going to go back to Pingcheng as much as we can." He Mulan said to himself, "We can't stay here any longer, the internal battle in Beiliang is something we can't control and can't control, what we have to do now is to return to Pingcheng as soon as possible."

The Master of Compassion knew that it was his words that affected He Mulan, but he didn't mean anything to say anything, just smiled and nodded.

"It's so good, and I miss my disciples so much."

He Mulan left Tiantai Mountain with a group of people and returned to the embassy. Some people have already received the news that He Mulan went to Tianti Mountain, but they don't know what she is going to do, and when she comes back with the Master of Compassion, there are more people who guess, and the first one who is uneasy is the frustration in the palace.

"They're on Ladder Mountain! Go do something! Frustrated Meng Xun roared and patted the case: "Didn't you tell you to go to Zheng Zong and Gai Wu?" Nothing to say?"

"Your Majesty, Zheng Zong said that Hua Mulan and Meng Yulong were in a secret conversation, and he had a low status, so he really didn't know what they said. Gai Wu said he would help us find out, but it would take time......"

The henchman bowed his head in fear.

"Tianti Mountain too, you also know, from the foot of the mountain, there are countless monks who control the road, and it is impossible to sneak up, let alone hear what they say."

"What do we people in Buddhism say? There's no news from Vijas, too?" Frustrated Meng Xun frowned and spat out a person's name.

Vigashi is the Dharma name of the second princess after she became a monk. Because she was born in the nobility of Lu Shuihu and had the status of a princess, she was accepted by Buddhism after becoming a monk, and practiced in Guzang's Pure Water Nunnery, and rarely entered the palace.

However, if there is any news, she often sends it back to the palace, and often goes back to the palace to visit Queen Meng and the palace people who served in the past, which can be regarded as a special person who wanders in the world of monks and laymen.

"Master Viga said that it seems that it was because the Buddha Gate detained a monk beside Hua Mulan and wanted to blackmail something, but Hua Mulan brought a group of tiger soldiers to the door and rescued the monk."

That henchman is also a headache.

"But what she said was also very vague, only that most of it was her guess."

'I have been slow to change the Han system to the Heavenly King system, and these people finally can't bear it anymore and want to treat me as an outcast?' Frustrated Meng Xun was upset in his heart, "I thought Mu Qian would be able to stabilize them for a few years, but seeing that Mu Jian had an accident, they couldn't wait to leave him behind, there must be a follow-up......

'With whom are they already allied?' Queen? Wei State?'

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

'If they switch to Bodhi, then the next step is ......'

He will be a stumbling block.

Only when he dies will the next King Liang succeed to the throne.

Frustrated Qu Mengxun's face turned white all of a sudden, looking at everyone around him as if he had ill intentions, and his terrible eyes made the hearts of the henchmen and guards around him beat wildly, and he wanted to run away quickly.

"Ordering the prime minister to enter the palace, the matter of giving the marriage must be done!"

Before the things he suspected, Xingping must be sent to the Wei State!

"What? Yuan Poqiang went to Dunhuang without permission?"

As soon as he returned to the embassy, He Mullan was about to curse when he heard the briefing.

"What did he do in Dunhuang? How many people did you bring?"

"I only brought a personal guard, saying that someone dragged him before he died, so he wanted to go to Dunhuang to settle the descendants of the deceased."

Liu Zhen showed a helpless expression: "I told him that this is not good, but unfortunately he seems to have endured it for a long time, and today the general is not in the embassy, so he left Guzang."

"King Liang's people have been in the embassy all the time, and as soon as he goes out, he will definitely show up immediately! If King Liang does anything wrong to him, maybe something will happen on the road."

He Mulan glanced at Chen Jie, "You go out of the city immediately to chase ......"

"It's going to be fine." Liu Zhen stopped He Mulan's order." General Yuan was measured, and as soon as he came out of Guzang, he would go to someone from the old Xianbei department to send him to Dunhuang. I believe that he must have gone to Dunhuang not only for the sake of the old man, but what the general should do now is to conceal his whereabouts."

Bei Liang is smaller than Wei, so Liu Zhen is not very worried.

"If you come and go on horseback and change cars, it's only half a month's work. Even if we have already set off, the wedding team will not be too fast, and General Yuan will definitely catch up with us."

Liu Zhen is an egret official, and I am afraid that he is still responsible for the secret of passing the word to Jingzhong on behalf of Yuan Poqiang, since he prevented He Mulan from continuing to ask, there must be enough reasons.

He Mulan has never been an eventful person, and she has absolute trust in Tuoba Tao, she thinks that Tuoba Tao did not let the Egret official tell her the truth must be for another reason, it may be to protect Yuan Poqiang, or it may be to protect her, since this is the case, she will not break the casserole to ask the end.

Liu Zhen was also relieved to see that He Mulan did not continue to ask, since Li Shun's death, this egret official also began to suspect that He Mulan was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, if she really investigated the matter of Yuan Poqiang's temporary departure from the group, it would be really a difficult problem to explain.

Fortunately, she lightly revealed it.

The matter of Hermulan's visit to Mount Ladder. [,! Obviously changed a certain situation in Beiliang, but for these people born in the Beiliang court, He Mulan didn't want to care and couldn't care, Queen Meng later sent several people to show goodwill, He Mulan was perfunctory and pushed, but every day with a group of people around him and so on in Guzang City wandering around.

It looks like walking through the bazaar, but in fact it is to observe the height, thickness, and defense of the city walls, and the living conditions of the people in the city.

Even if Queen Meng promised that Bodhi would retire from the king and change the state in the future, these were only verbal agreements, and the envoys of Wei would not fully believe it, and they would not forget what they came to Liang for a reason, and investigating the local situation became the first priority.

The officials of Beiliang also visited more and more frequently, and some of them were not optimistic about the future of Beiliang, and wanted to make friends early, so that they could hold their official positions after returning to Wei in the future.

There are not even a few such people.

The people are grateful to Princess Xingping and their relatives, many people think that as long as Princess Xingping marries, Wei will not call, and the envoys of Wei are very polite, He Mulan will even be sent things when he goes out to the market, and he will salute from a distance.

This made He Mulan, who knew that the Liang Kingdom would sooner or later become the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was quite complicated in his heart.

In this way, within a few days, the king of Beiliang in the palace, Fuqu Mengxun, sent someone to spread the word, saying that Beiliang had been prepared, and the wedding team and dowry had been prepared, and they could be released at any time.

He Mulan led the officials into the palace to discuss the date, set to return to Beijing three days later, Princess Xingping entourage of 1,000, most of them were grooms, palace people and other slaves, 2,000 famous horses in Beiliang, all the way to the grain and grass and the degree were provided by the Liang country, until entering the Wei realm.

These details have their own people in the mission to discuss, and it is intriguing that the general who was married to Liang Guo this time was Fuqu Mujian, so he was very actively involved in the affairs of the mission, and many things were analyzed in an orderly manner, and when he was not weak and his attitude was not so annoying, he did show that he was too good at keeping the demeanor and ability that he should have.

Compared to working with a pig teammate, even if this person has some festivals with the mission, if the position of the prince is established, everyone in the mission will not reach out to hit the smiling man.

"Frustration is a good tenacity, a good means." Yuan Fang sighed and said, "Lun Chang's corruption doesn't seem to be a particularly repugnable crime in Northern Liang, without a few days of effort, the officials of Liang State who gave away are all looking forward to him, such a skill, if he really makes him the king of Liang, Dawei is indeed passive."

"These are not our concerns." He Mulan said indifferently: "He lost the position of the son of the world, and was trapped in Pingcheng, and when he arrived in Pingcheng, he had powerful people to defend him."

Cui Hao, Gu Bi is all human spirits, even Su Hejun's means don't have to be frustrated, the Great Wei is full of talents, if he really enters Pingcheng, it will be difficult to go back.

It is for this reason that Hermulan is not at all afraid of frustration. He couldn't beat himself, and the number of people who gave him to marry was not as large as that of He Mulan and Lu Shuihu combined, and at most he made some small stumbles on the road.

"General, Changming Palace sent a letter, King Liang and Queen Liang set up a banquet in the palace, banquet members of the mission and the marrying Beiliang officials......"

Zheng Zong came in from the outside, followed by a person from the Northern Liang Palace.

He Mullan took the letter, read it, and nodded.

"I see, we'll be over tomorrow morning."

The banquet is a luncheon, probably to familiarize the envoys of the two countries before going out, and by the way, let Princess Xingping come out to show the envoys the true face, and the last drop of the province is a fake.

He Mulan was not surprised that he had agreed to the banquet tomorrow, and the palace people said that someone would come to greet him tomorrow, so he returned to the palace with a reply from He Mulan.

On the afternoon of the day when He Mulan replied, Li Jingai from Dunhuang entered the Changming Palace.

"Sister Li, don't look like this, it's uncomfortable to look at me." Princess Xingping looked at Li Jingai, who had a calm face, and felt quite remorseful in her heart.

I knew that something like this would happen, so I wouldn't have summoned her to the palace.

It's also to blame the third brother for being too poor, and a person died in the East Palace that night, and later went to find the eldest princess, so she didn't know what he thought.

For the sake of the eldest princess, how many men are simply fascinated and have no reason at all.

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine." Li Jingai showed a faint smile. It's you, who have traveled thousands of miles to the unfamiliar Wei State as a concubine, so you have to be more careful in everything."

If it was Xingping before, I'm afraid she would be unmoved by such persuasion, for her, the court of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the court of the Northern Liang are both battlefields, but one enemy is a man and the other is a woman.

However, now she seems to be pregnant, but she can't call the imperial doctor to see, otherwise her father will let her "die violently" in the palace to cover up her ugliness, she can only hide while trying to save herself for her own life, and she is already exhausted.

Hearing Li Jingai's words, Xingping's tears were about to fall.

"Hearing my sister's words, I don't know why my heart is so sour. It's such a long journey to Wei, I don't even know if I'll be able to get to Pingcheng properly."

Li Jingai was said by Xingping, and began to recall that when the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, she was pressed to Guzang with her mother and family.

At that time, she also felt that the road ahead was long, and she suddenly felt that it was good to die soon, and suddenly she felt that it was best to never get it, so it was not bad to keep walking.

Thinking about it like this, Li Jingai was also sad.

Fortunately, she was a very mature woman, and she was sad for a moment and immediately did. [,! Packed up his feelings, and said to Princess Xingping: "Discuss everything with your third brother, he is always good for you. The envoys of Wei should not be slack, how high you will get in Pingcheng depends on the evaluation of you by these envoys, as well as your own style. You used to be frivolous, and from the beginning of the mission, you must be restrained, and you can't make people feel it at all."

Obviously, Li Jingai knows what kind of character Xingping is, and reminds her of the depths.

Xingping blushed when he heard this: "It is precisely for my sister to teach me these truths."

Li Jingai took pity on her as a weak woman and shouldered the burden of the country, and began to tell her little by little how to be a wife, how to survive as a concubine in the harem, and how to get along with foreigners.

"You know Xianbei and Chinese, which is already good. Many princesses who are close to each other don't even understand the language, so they don't know life and death. You're too beautiful, and you'd better keep it a secret except when you meet the king......"

Li Jingai paused and continued.

"Above all, please your husband. What His Majesty likes and what kind of woman he likes is the most important thing you should understand. You are so beautiful, if that majesty is gentle towards you, you can ask him directly, this is also the way husband and wife get along."

Xingping nodded frequently, but his heart was bitter.

If she really has a child in her belly, don't say whether she will have a miscarriage on the way, even if she really arrives in Pingcheng safely, I'm afraid she won't be able to marry Tuoba Tao.

It takes a few months to get to Heijo......

Does her stomach really hold up?

"What's wrong with you?" Li Jingai saw that sweat suddenly broke out on her forehead, and handed her a handkerchief to wipe it for her, "Don't be nervous, you are going to be a concubine, it is possible to ascend to the back position in the future, and you are not going to be a palace maid and a prisoner, why show such fear."

She lowered her voice and paused.

"My eldest brother once sent an envoy to the Wei State in the past, and it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very heroic."

When she was a girl, she also loved to inquire about the news of these princes among the kingdoms.

That time is still gone.

Xingping is really going to regret it.

She has been absurd for so many years, but she had an accident before she got married, and she has been using the medicine given to her by the masters, what is wrong?

You can't be karmic, right?

"Also, are you still taking Wushisan?"

Li Jingai looked at her Miaoman's figure, and then looked at her ruddy look and the dress of the wide robe and big sleeves, and sighed slightly.

"If you want to obey again, you'd better avoid the crowd. Emperor Wei's father died in Wushisan is something that all countries know, and I'm afraid he won't like people to use this."

"What did you say?"

Xingping, who was raised in the harem, really didn't know about this matter, and his eyes widened all of a sudden.

"Don't you give people five stone scatter over there? Doesn't it mean that many scholars and doctors of the Han people use it? There are so many Hanchens in the Wei Kingdom! "

"Who did you listen to?"

Li Jingai was stunned, "Although it has been popular since the Jin Dynasty, because of the events of the previous dynasty, many Wei people no longer dare to risk being deposed by Emperor Wei to use this kind of thing. The queen didn't tell you......"

This kind of teaching should be done by the queen......

"I did it myself. The queen warned me."

Only then did Xingping know what Queen Meng was leaving in disappointment, and couldn't help but muttered to himself." But even if she had warned me, how could I have listened to her...... I've always regarded her as a fierce outsider, and I can't hear her at all......"

Li Jingai saw Xingping so depressed, and he was speechless for a while.

After the two sat upright for a long time, it was Princess Xingping who broke the silence between the two.

"That's all there is to it. My relatives and I are friends for the sake of friendship between the two countries, so they won't kill me because of this."

You still have to get by on the face.

She originally thought that the five stones of the Wei Kingdom were very common, and she was not worried about it, but now that she hears it, when she arrives in the Wei Kingdom, she is afraid that she will lose her temper frequently!

What the hell!

Rao is Li Jingai, no matter how calm he is, there is no way to meet such a royal family. When she and Xingping got acquainted, she hadn't married Fuqu Muqian, and they were just some insignificant friendships, and it was impossible to make a deep relationship.

But she always felt that Xingping's nature was not bad, and she still hoped that she could be safe and happy, and hoped that Wei Ting's Yan Sù could get rid of her mechanical habits and be Tuoba Tao's concubine.

She is not from a low background, and the property she marries is priceless, and Wei Guo will not treat her lightly if she is reasonable.

While the two were talking, Queen Meng suddenly sent someone to issue an edict, ordering Princess Xingping and the third princess Li Jingai to accompany her to the luncheon tomorrow to discuss the matter of marriage.

This is called "inspection".

Both of them knew that Xingping was sent back to the palace with a pale face, but Li Jingai touched her face and said in a deep voice: "I'll dress you up well tomorrow, you must look stupid at those Wei people. Once you've impressed them, life on the road will be better."

Xingping nodded, but what he was thinking about was something else.

That Tiger General Mulan......

Looks like a one.
