After consulting his father and getting his approval, Muni went to visit his mother, Queen Cai Bang, and politely asked her for her opinion.

"If you want to let Buddha and Ben coexist, Muni, your idea is simply too good." Queen Cai Bang replied with a smile, "But how can we coexist?" In addition to letting the Imperial Master stay at Samye Monastery, you can also pardon your younger brother Mu Ru, the poor exiled Mu Ru, from the exile of the ghost realm in the north of the wind and snow, and give him a wooden tablet with the seal of kindness, you are now a dignified Zampu, and my mother believes that you can do this well. ”

It turned out that this queen Cai Bang saw that the Bon forces had succeeded before, and her husband Zanpu was also gloomy in the Zen position, so she became more and more rampant, which was equivalent to coercing her son Muni to pardon the younger brother Mu Ru, who killed Shang Jiezan's second son at will, burned the Mahayana monks, and destroyed the Shanzhou Zen Temple.

As long as Mu Ru returns, Queen Cai Bang is ready to immediately let him take charge of the military power, wait for an opportunity to usurp the throne, and then really carry out the plan to destroy the Buddha in the entire plateau, exterminate her enemies, and push the power of the Cai Bang family to the highest point.

As for how much territory Xifan can keep under the Tang family's counteroffensive after this toss, it is not this woman's concern at all.

In the face of his mother's aggressive request, the very filial Muni Zampu said, "I will go and organize this matter immediately."

Soon, at the translation field of Hongshan, Muni Zampu first found Master Padmasambhava, because Muni was not stupid.

After hearing this, Padmasambhava looked at Pitang in the distance, which was still covered with snow at the end of winter, and discussed with Zampu, sighed and said, "If Mu Ru is recalled from the penal colony, it will only add to the turmoil in this land, so it is better for me to preside over the reconciliation between Tantra and Bon." ”

"How?" Muni asked the teacher.

Padmasambhava seemed to be stuck in the memories of the past, and he said that when I first came to the plateau, your father had organized a great dispute between the monk and the Benbo master, and he made a bet that whichever side could win the debate would become the state religion of Western Tibet, and the losing side would have to accept the fate of destruction. In the end, although Bon was defeated, your father was a wise man, and he thought that it would not be wise to completely destroy Bon, so he allowed some of the Bon masters to continue to serve the court and the alliance, while the others, who were unwilling to fail, turned into "yakshas", or destroyed the newly built Buddhist temples at night, or gathered in the penal colonies in the north and east of the country to continue to haunt them, and Cai Bang and Mou Ru received their strong support behind the scenes.

"But it's not that difficult to solve this problem."

As a result, on the second day, in the splendid Samye Monastery, Padmasambhava personally asked his disciples to take out the Bon scriptures from the black pagoda and respectfully hand them over to the hands of the Imperial Honbo Master Xiangri Ul.

"Is this Shakyamuni Buddha admitting his defeat?" Xiangri Wule is swaggering.

Padmasambhava smiled slightly, and said that Shakyamuni Buddha had already transcended reincarnation, so how could there be any victory or defeat, and now he returned the scriptures to the Venerable Master, for no other reason, because many mountain gods, water gods, goddesses, fireworks gods, village gods, and wood gods in the entire Great Tibetan Land have accepted the teachings of our Buddha and taken refuge as bodhisattvas.

Since then, Bon and Buddhism have merged.

"You!" Xiangri Ulle was anxious and angry.

But Padmasambhava was still smiling, and he announced to the monks and the master on the spot that he would immediately implement the "Circle Light Method" in the monastery, so that all the gods of Bon would possess the human body, and I would then represent the Buddha and incorporate them all as the patron saints of my Buddha.

"Never, never do that!" Xiangri Ulle was really angry.

However, it was too late for him to stop it, and Padmasambhava, who had already made arrangements, held a séance ceremony in Samye Monastery, and according to the monks who were present at the meeting, the entire temple was shrouded in divine light, and Padmasambhava selected ten boys of noble birth, whose parents and grandparents were all healthy, and then let the four heavenly kings descend on them and perform the "Circular Light Method" - and then various gods and demons throughout the land of Dafan, including the twelve goddesses of Danma, the god of snow-capped mountains, the god of rivers, and all kinds of dragons, And the Mora and Yaksha, who were hindering their practice, flew to Samye Monastery, and then Padmasambhava held the vajra and violently subdued them, and all these gods and demons lost their power and changed into human form, and vowed to protect the Dharma from now on.

Soon, people throughout the region said that Guru Padmasambhava had truly conquered the gods of the Tibetan land, and that to defend the Dharma thereafter was to defend the country.

Originally, Xiangri Ulle tried to expel Tantric Buddhism, but this is good, the entire Bon deity system was all incorporated by Padmasambhava's "Yuanguang Dharma" pretending to be a god and a ghost.

At this time, Muni Zampu, who felt that the situation had stabilized a little, appointed Wei after getting his father's approval. Zano and Niang. In order to send Tang envoys, Xia Mi and the two ministers marched to the Weizhou area again, hoping to resolve the war between Tang and Tibet.

When the two Xifan ministers went on the road, it was already the beginning of spring in the coming year, Gao Yue, Wei Gao, Liu Haibin, Xing Junya, Ximen Cang's army of nearly 40,000, and nearly 30,000 Xifan prisoners of war, was a banner to cover the sun, chariots and horses in parallel, all the way to the gallop, out of the Anrong Pass of Longshan, then through Qinzhou, Weizhou, and from Weiyuan into the so-called Di Dao, into the Yellow River to the famous city - Lanzhou.

Lanzhou was not the location of Dazhou County at that time, but because it had Jinchengguan in the west, Gaolan Mountain in the southeast, and was the location of the big river crossing connecting Longyou, Hexi and Yuanhui, the military geographical location was extremely important.

There are still 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the local tun from the east of Xifan.

After Gao Yue and Wei Gao inspected the scout's report and Jia Tan's map of military records, they pulled the whole army to the village of Didao Baishi Mountain, which was less than 100 miles south of Lanzhou City, the terrain around this Baishi Mountain was open, and there was a big spring named "Liang Spring" on the mountain, the spring was lush and dense on all sides, and the Tang army drove the prisoners of war in Xifan to cut down on a large scale, erected wooden fences and beacons, and formed camps on all sides, and the beacon fire was endless.

Then Gao Yue did what he said, and sent Ming Huaiyi to lead two battalions, 1,500 iron horsemen, out of the vast wilderness outside Di Dao, with 5,000 Xifan prisoners, this group of captives had long been deprived of armor and weapons, both hands and feet were tied with horse ropes, one after another, shouted by the Tang horsemen, stabbed with a horse lance, or whipped with a horse whip, and walked nearly a hundred miles in silence and fear, and came to the bottom of the mountain of Jincheng Pass.

In the past, what Xifan was best at was driving the captured Tang soldiers and Tang people to attack the city, but now it is their turn to do the opposite.

The walled city on the Jinchengguan Plateau, backed by the golden river, the soldiers stationed in the tun were only about 1,000, but they saw that on the field below, there were 5,000 of their own prisoners, and behind the dust raised by their feet, there were one or two thousand cavalry of the Tang army.

Ming Huaiyi raised his horsewhip, pointed to the mountain, and said directly in the Tibetan language, hand over Jincheng Pass within an hour, otherwise directly here, slaughter a thousand prisoners of war first.
