The sky has just broken and there is a faint morning mist in the Huaqing Palace in winter, and it should be another sunny day today. The saint had already gotten up, he trembled and looked into the distance, here he could see almost the entire Huaqing Palace, his gaze was a little deep, and it seemed long, and there was one day that was the day of canonization! Looking back on my life, I have been all over the world, those strong enemies and old people, but now, everything is gone! For some reason, he actually had a trace of inexplicable sadness, how brilliant the prosperous Tang Dynasty was under his feet, but he didn't know how long he could endure, and he would leave this homeland. Since he was over sixty years old, he felt that his body and bones were getting worse and worse, so he was almost obsessed with the Taoist method of immortality, but more than ten years later, he still couldn't find it! When all thoughts were lost, a hexagram of the national teacher: "When the dragon appears, the world changes!" Sanctification! "And let his dead heart be resurrected, and everything will be tomorrow, when Ying Long will appear, and he will have eternal life, and for this reason, he can do whatever it takes! As long as you can live。。。。。。

The saint was still looking into the distance, and suddenly someone added a robe to his body, the saint stopped his thoughts, turned around, and the person in front of him smiled, it turned out to be Yang Guifei. When she saw the saint, she immediately saluted respectfully and said, "The weather is cold, the saint must not let the wind and cold hurt his body!" Tomorrow is a great day for saints! ”

The saint smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and held Yang Guifei with some trembling, and said softly: "It's too true, you have a heart." Yang Guifei also smiled, leaned lightly to the saint's side, and looked at it from a distance for a while, and then asked softly, "What is the saint thinking?" ”

The sage sighed, "Somehow, I always think of some old people lately. ”

Yang Guifei answered: "The saint is the son of heaven, if you miss anyone, call him to the palace and reminisce about the old together, so that the saint is also happy, isn't it?" ”

The saint shook his head and answered, "I'm afraid... I can't be called. ”

Yang Guifei looked surprised and continued to ask, "Dare to ask which old man the sage remembers?" ”

The saint paused and continued: "I don't know why, tomorrow's canonization will always remind me of the old incident in Luoyang fifty years ago! For some reason, I always felt like something was going to happen. ”

Yang Guifei couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and answered: "Fifty years ago? At that time, the concubine was not yet born! The saint doesn't need to worry too much, tomorrow's canonization is a great joy, how can it have anything to do with that event? ”

The saint nodded slowly, and replied softly, "Hope... Well, maybe I'm really thinking too much. ”

At the same time, in Chang'an City, the drums on the Mingde Gate suddenly beat like crazy. The city gate Ling was shocked, and hurriedly went up to the city tower, but when he looked down, he was suddenly frightened and his spine was cold! I don't know when, this Mingde sect actually gathered an army of thousands of people, all wearing armor and halberds, waiting for the battle! I haven't seen this army besieging the city in years! The city gate commander immediately panicked, and he didn't have time to see who the army was, so he hurriedly ordered loudly: "Close all the city gates quickly!" Gather the sergeant, cloth... Deployed! And also... Hurry up and report to the right side! ”

The people on the city gate were also frightened, and they hurriedly closed the city gate with a rolling belt, and sent a fast horse to the right minister's mansion. Fortunately, the sergeants outside the city did not seem to have the intention of attacking the city, otherwise those troops would have already entered the city when they were hastily deployed. At this time, the city gate order looked at the battle flag of the army, and it was actually the Tubo army! He was shocked in his heart, why did so many Tibetan troops suddenly appear under this city? How did he bypass the many passes of the Tang Dynasty and quietly arrived at Chang'an City? That's not a small number!

The panicked drums on the city gate spread to every corner of Chang'an City, and the Li Tianran brothers were no exception! Li Boyu was the first to say: "Could it be that something happened?" I have never heard of such a thing. ”

Li Tianran shook his head, frowned, and continued: "I have always felt that there must be something strange behind the canonization of this saint, and it seems that this case is not accidental. Tomorrow is the day of canonization, and it seems that everything is slowly beginning to come true. ”

Li Boyu nodded and responded: "Brother, you take care of Ah Lang, Brother knows martial arts, so I'll go and investigate." Li Tianran said: "That's fine, but Brother must be careful, go back quickly, no matter what, remember not to touch it." Li Boyu agreed and left.

The situation was urgent, and the information reached the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Right Prime Minister did not dare to delay for a moment, abandoned the official sedan chair, and rode quickly towards Mingde Gate with more than ten people! When he and everyone arrived, the sky was already bright, and the right minister climbed up to the Mingde Gate breathlessly! But looking at it from the railing, even he was taken aback, this inexplicable thousands of troops falling from the sky are indeed a little frightening.

He asked the official beside him, "How many troops are there in Chang'an City now?" The official hurriedly bowed down and responded: "Now the forbidden army, Yulin army and other soldiers in Chang'an City have increased by about 20,000 troops. ”

Hearing this, the right minister suddenly felt a little confident in his heart, and continued to ask: "How far is the nearest garrison from Chang'an City?" The official continued: "There are 50,000 garrisons to the nearest garrison, and if you hurry up, you will be able to reach Chang'an in less than twelve hours!" ”

The right minister suddenly smiled coldly and responded: "According to the general observation of the prime minister, the army standing under the gate of this city is only 5,000 people, not to mention the 50,000 garrisons that rushed over, I am afraid that the army in this Chang'an City can strangle them all!" Hum! Why be afraid? ”

The city gate commander stepped forward and answered: "Back to the right minister, the lower official thinks this matter is strange!" They have been under the city for at least an hour, but they don't seem to have any intention of besieging it! ”

The right minister glanced sideways at the city gate order, and immediately said, "You will go out of the city and ask, what is the purpose of his waiting?" ”

"Me?" The city gate commander couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but before he could continue to speak, the right man immediately said sharply: "It's you!" Afraid of what? The soldiers in Chang'an City are all backed by you! Could it be that you are a rat? ”

After the right prime minister so reprimanded, the city gate order still dare not obey, if there is a defense, maybe before the city gate is killed by the right minister, the left and right are a death, it is better to go out of the city to fight, so hurriedly responded: "Oh! And he went down the gate.

The city gate commander specially selected a tall horse, changed his armor, and rode out of the city gate, slowly to the front of the army. The Tubo army was well-trained and majestic, and the city gate order couldn't help but feel a little weak, but he still steadied himself and said loudly: "Who are you and the army?" What do you want to do in Chang'an City? But he called out three times, but no one answered. The city gate commander was about to turn around and return to the city, but the army suddenly gave way and a man slowly walked out on horseback.

The person who came was actually dressed as a horn, he glanced at the city gate order, and immediately clasped his hands together and said: "We are from Tubo, I heard that the Tang Emperor wants to be canonized, and we are ordered by Zampu to come to congratulate!" ”

The city gate commander looked up and down the horn in front of him, this person should be around sixty years old, with dark skin, smooth face, and a bit of a high-ranking monk's demeanor in his gestures, so he became awe-inspiring! He hurriedly folded his hands and said, "Dare to ask the master's number?" That is, congratulations, why is it so exciting? Aren't you afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings? ”

The lama smiled indifferently and said: "The old monk Dharma is called Fanwu, this is a long journey to Chang'an, Zampu is worried about difficulties on the way, so he sent someone to protect him, please forgive me for being presumptuous!" Please quickly convey to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty that we have come to congratulate! No more misunderstandings! ”

When the city gate commander heard this, he immediately closed his mouth and said: "Since this is the case, then please ask the master to wait here, and I will enter the city to report." Then he turned and rode away.

When the right minister heard the reply of the city gate order, he was immediately furious, and reprimanded angrily: "I was worried that there would be difficulties on the way, so I sent thousands of troops to surround Chang'an City?" This bald donkey ... The right minister paused, probably feeling that he was a little speechless, so his tone eased, and continued: "In this case, you will go down and tell him that since it is Daohe, then he can enter the city alone, and the prime minister is willing to take him into the palace to face the saint, but his army needs to be withdrawn as soon as possible!" ”

As soon as the words fell, an echo immediately sounded under the city gate: "Returning to the right minister, the Tubo army immediately retreated thirty miles and set up camp, and will never attack!" The old monk is willing to enter the palace with the right minister to meet him! "The voice was loud and powerful, and it resounded throughout the city gates!

The right and other people were immediately shocked, he never thought that he could hear them from such a distance? What a master of cultivation this is! The right minister was stunned for a long time, and then slowly responded: "I don't know who the master is?" He has the ability to hear sounds in a hundred steps! Let me inform my pilgrims! ”

Under the city gate, Fanwu's loud laughter sounded, and his voice couldn't help but be a little chilling, and he responded: "Why do you have a small skill of carving insects? The right phase is in love! Please turn to the saint on the right, the old monk is the foundation of the Tubo national teacher Basi, and this time he came to be regarded as a reunion of the old people! ”

"Bath Eight?" The right minister muttered in a low voice, but where did he know who Ba Siba was, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "It turned out to be a disciple of the national teacher, and the prime minister will bring the master into the palace to meet him, and I hope that the master will withdraw the army." ”

Fanwu replied loudly: "Thank you!" With that, he turned around and waved his hand, and the army immediately turned around, and the rear team changed to the front team, and retreated in an orderly manner.

The right minister hurriedly got off the city gate, went out of the city to greet him, and walked closer, and the right minister saw the appearance of Fanwu clearly, he was already dying, so how old was his master? He was stunned, so he asked, "Dare to ask the national teacher Ba Siba, if you are also coming?" ”

Fan Wu said with a smile: "The family teacher has already ascended to Bliss many years ago, and he can't come!" ”

This was expected by the right minister, so he continued: "It's really a pity that I can't see the demeanor of the monk!" The saint is not in Chang'an City, so the master will be taken there! ”
