There is a mountain not far to the south of the White Flag Valley, and there is a temple in the mountain. There is a young monk in the temple, a beautiful little nun, and a little monk about two years old, and they are a happy family.

In the land behind the temple, the monks sweated like rain and hoeed the ground. In the middle of the building, the nun is shaking the loom and weaving. Among the flowers, the little monk staggered, chasing the flying butterflies.

When he passed by, he took out a piece of stone honey and squatted on the ground, smiling like a fox, and kept beckoning to the little monk: "Xiao Yixiu!" Come here. ”

The little monk's eyes were sucked by Shi Honey (sucrose), and he touched his bald head blankly, but finally failed to resist the temptation and ran to the side of the road.

I picked up the little monk and watched him lick the stone honey with taste, and couldn't help but hang on his nose: "Look at your well-behaved appearance, you must be more charming than the monk's father when you grow up." In the future, my uncle will introduce you to a few princesses, okay? ”

Where did the little monk understand the meaning of the words, and still focused on intimate contact with Shi Mi. However, the flowers that came over made it difficult to look at all of a sudden.

snatched his son from Lu Li's arms, turned around and gave Lu a back.

"Hey, hey! This little rest can be born, or it depends on my great efforts. You just crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and you didn't even let me hug it! ”

The road shouted dissatisfiedly.

Wuhua stiffened and didn't look back. However, the little nun who came forward to bring the tea was angry and brought the tea in.

"Ugh!" Lu Lu found the fault in his words, and touched his nose in embarrassment, "I actually want to say that it is my pill that has made a lot of effort." ”

"! You are not welcome here. Wuhua finally couldn't help it, turned around and pushed the road.

The road was cheeky and stood still, and made a fuss dissatisfied: "Don't forget, who gave you the land for this monk temple, and who funded the construction of this monk temple for you." Now that you have a place to live, are you ungrateful? ”

"It's not that you let Boss Hu go to my Hundred Flowers Valley and make it look like a military camp. What's the point of me staying there, I can only come here. ”

Wuhua complained dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, hey!" Lu Lu smiled proudly, "You guy is also shrewd, knowing that this area of the White Flag Valley is your brother-in-law and my sphere of influence, so he came here to preach Buddhism." My sister Feng Yao is also really generous, not only gave a mountain, but also funded the construction of a temple for you. Here, it's much better than the Valley of Flowers. ”

The mouth of the cannibal is soft, flowerless, and there is no sound.

"I just took a look, you have a lot of incense here, and there are a lot of believers." I was a little surprised when I walked the way, this flowerless monk came to the White Flag Valley for a few months, and the momentum of development was very amazing.

"First of all, many soldiers left here in the Tang Dynasty came to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and later the local believers gradually increased."

Wuhua put her son down and glanced around, looking very satisfied.

"Hmm! Not bad. These soldiers who have left their homeland, and the local barbarians who have lost their loved ones, still need spiritual comfort and sustenance. But you're a little shabby, too. Since there are so many believers, and they have also received a lot of merit money, they don't even brush the golden body of the Buddha statue in the main hall. ”

Lu nodded and shook his head again.

"Worship the Buddha is important in the heart, not in the golden body." Foil hands folded.

"Then what are you doing with all that merit money?" The road is white, and there is no flower.

"If a believer is in trouble within a radius, I will send some merit money to help. Take it from the believers and use it for the believers. "Wuhua stood up straight, worthy of her heart.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, but he didn't think through it for a while, and patted it appreciatively.

"No wonder you, a little monk, live such a hard life, and believers develop so quickly."

"On the way to practice, it is enough to have a meal to satisfy hunger and a piece of clothing to protect from the cold. The more you seek, the more you get, it's just a burden. ”

Wuhua has an indifferent face, a desireless appearance.

I was too lazy to talk about Buddhism with this guy, so I said my intention directly: "Do you want to preach Buddhism in this Nanzhao country and purify all sentient beings?" ”

"As a disciple of Buddhism, you should not let it go!" Wuhua stood up without hesitation.

Baiqi Gu Fengyao took in the remnants of Li Linfu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and naturally he couldn't hide it from Luo Feng, the king of Nanzhao in Yamato City. Within a few days of the road, Ge Luofeng came from Yamato City, more than 30 miles away, and asked the teacher to ask for the guilt.

After seeing the salute, Ge Luofeng had a gloomy face and stared at the road standing on the side.

"The prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Li Linfu, was declared a rebellion by Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and was demoted to a concubine for burial, and his family and heirs were all distributed. Now you are placing the Li family in my Nanzhao, do you want the Tang Dynasty to immediately send troops to attack my Nanzhao! ”

He stepped forward and bowed.

"Father! Previously, the Tang Dynasty was forced against you, because Xuanzong wanted to find a reason to invade Nanzhao. Achieved military merits and prestige, and competed for power with Li Linfu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. And now, regardless of whether Nanzhao takes in the Li family or not, the Tang Dynasty will march into the army to attack Nanzhao.

Why? Thinking about Datang and Nanzhao is like a giant and a child. The giant man wanted to bully the young children, but he lost the battle without thinking about it, and he lost his face. That Xuanzong is now in power, and he always wants to get this face back. There is no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides, so what does it matter if the Li family is taken in. ”

Ge Luofeng was dull and did not speak.

"Not long after the death of Li Linfu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong ordered He Fuguang, the general of Zuo Wuwei, to send troops from the five prefectures of Lingnan to attack my Nanzhao, how should I deal with my Nanzhao."

Yang Luodian said worriedly.

"In my opinion, He Fuguang's Lingnan troops to attack Nanzhao is a good thing for Nanzhao. Thinking about the Lingnan soldiers, most of them belong to the same Jiuli remnants as Nanzhao. As long as an envoy is sent to make friends, this battle can be true or false, drag on, and win a chance for Nanzhao to kick the breath. ”

He smiled slightly, and seemed confident.

"This important task of envoy belongs to me Yang Luodian, but whether I can make good friends with the soldiers of Lingnan, I am not sure in my heart!"

Yang Luo looked at the road uneasily.

"It's just that if you go alone, it's naturally difficult to do it all. Here the retainer wanted to recommend someone to his father and let her serve as a deputy envoy. This time, I will definitely succeed. ”

passed by, turned his head and looked at Ge Luofeng in the high hall.

"Who are you recommending?" Ge Luofeng asked.

"The Holy Maiden of the Five Holy Sects Huashan, Ah Youduo! With the prestige of the Five Holy Sects among the Jiuli ethnic groups, if they can get the help of the holy women in the sect, the soldiers of the five prefectures in Lingnan will no longer be a problem for Nanzhao. ”

After finishing speaking, he waved behind him.

Ah Youduo Shi Ran stepped forward and knelt down in front of Ge Luofeng: "Five saints."

Teach the saint Ah Youduo, and be willing to serve the king! ”

"Haha, hahaha!" Ge Luofeng laughed loudly: "I think that the Five Holy Sects that my Jiuli tribe believes in, but I have always served the Tang Dynasty. I didn't expect that today, the Holy Lady of the Holy Sect would surrender to my Nanzhao. This is the blessing of my Nanzhao, the blessing of my Ge Luofeng! ”

Wumeng on the side frowned, opened his mouth to say something, and finally held back.

"Father! Have you ever thought about why Datang can be strong and rich, and Weijia is all over the world. And what about Nanzhao's small and poor country? ”

After passing by, he took the opportunity to start speaking to Ge Luofeng.

Ge Luofeng waved his hand generously: "You say come and listen." ”

"It's because Datang has a mind all over the world and appoints talents without sticking to one pattern! In Nanzhao, a remote and small country, almost no one came to vote, and even the talented people in their own country yearned for the Tang Dynasty and went to vote for it. In this way, how difficult it is for Nanzhao to be strong by himself! ”

He shook his head helplessly.

"Talent, talent!" Ge Luofeng sighed regretfully.

"Now, the sons and daughters have brought talents to the father, why does the father turn a blind eye?" He smiled and looked at Ge Luofeng.

"You mean the Li family?" Ge Luofeng looked at the road in a daze.

"Li Xiu, the eldest son of the Li family, is the first Jinshi in the thirty-first year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. He has served as a supervisor in Datang for more than ten years, and is proficient in the production and management of various instruments. The rest of the sons of the Li family, all full of poetry and books, full of talents, can't they be used to educate the people of Nanzhao? ”

Passing by, he looked at Ge Luofeng with a smile.

"Good, good! I, Ge Luofeng, also want to reduce talents without sticking to one pattern, so I will make Li Xiu the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the rest of the Li family have their own duties. If I think of Nanzhao, there will be a day when I will become stronger. ”

Ge Luofeng smiled, full of pride.

"Here, I have to recommend one person to my father." It's a bit of a stretch of road.

"Speak!" Ge Luofeng waved his hand vigorously.

"What Erchen recommended this time was a monk." I still smiled faintly when I passed by.

Ge Luofeng was stunned: "Monk! What can a monk do for this king? ”

"I can help my father appease the people, and let the people of Nanzhao return to their father!" He bowed and saluted to Ge Luofeng.

"Haha, hahaha!" Ge Luofeng reacted and laughed heartily: "Okay! The king built a temple in Yamato Castle to prepare him to preach Buddhism and pacify the people of the four directions. ”

Yang Luodian touched the road with his hand, and said in a low voice: "You are afraid that you are looking at the dominance of the Tiansheng Sect of Nanzhao Kingdom, and you want to have a fight between the two religions, and the king will benefit." ”

"That's what you said, not me." I raised my head when I was on the road, and I didn't recognize it directly.

After the dinner, I passed by and pondered while eating tea, sometimes frowning, sometimes showing a smiling face.

Feng Yaolian swayed lightly, walked to the road, and sat down on the opposite side.

"The king is drunk, and he keeps praising you for being a prime minister, and he wants to keep you."

He spread his hands helplessly, shook his head with a wry smile.

"You didn't participate much in Nanzhao state affairs before, why are you so enthusiastic this time!" Feng Yao looked at the road in confusion.

After passing by, he looked around cautiously, and his voice was low: "Because of this Nanzhao Kingdom, it will be my son who passed by in the future!" ”
