Section 45 Distress

"The 30,000 households on the right either pay money or fight, there is no other choice, and the 30,000 households on the right are not under the control of the Chahar Mongol Khan? Go back and tell them that if they have the guts to resist the Khan's edicts, then try the swords of the Chahar's subordinate departments! When Chahar Khan saw that the Lama was unceremonious, he immediately scolded him, he was almost unable to live it now, and after scolding, he directly said no words.

The Lama Queerji didn't expect Chahar Khan to be so unsentimental, and he was a little angry, and said coldly to Chahar Khan: "Everyone is the descendant of Dayan Khan, and the right-wing departments have always respected Chahar Khan, and their own family members have disputes, and it is okay to quarrel, but they can't really fight, and besides, the Great Khan has a hard time, and others are not rich, and the rules of dividing money have been set for decades, which is also recognized by successive Chahar Khans, and the Great Khan cannot say that it will change." ”

Chahar Khan sneered: "Do your 30,000 households on the right really respect Chahar Khan?" Have you forgotten how the Great Khan was squeezed into the Western Liao River by you in the first place? This is the good thing that you Altan Khan did, Altan Khan, a shameless man, Bodi Khan gave him the honorific title of 'Soduo Khan', he didn't even look at it, but he went to accept the title of 'King of Shunyi' of the Ming Kingdom, and made peace with the Ming Kingdom privately. ”

When the Qierji Lama heard that Chahar Khan had scolded his grandfather, he was also a little anxious: "Great Khan, Altan Khan is also your elder, he has made great achievements for our Mongolia, you can't insult him like this, even if Altan Khan offended Chahar Khan, it was all an old thing many years ago, since the Great Khan ascended the throne, have the 30,000 households on the right wing ever been sorry for the Great Khan?" If the Great Khan raises sword soldiers, the Mongol tribes will be plunged into war again, will the Great Khan bear to see us Mongols suffer a catastrophe? ”

Chahar Khan was furious, pointed at the Gyirji Lama and shouted: "It's not Ben Khan's fault, but you shameless people have brought this disaster to the Mongols, Tengri told Ben Khan to punish those wicked people and clean them up from the steppe, so that the Mongols can have a good life." ”

Chahar Khan said that he was excited, and turned over all the old accounts of adults, and the Manwusu of Karaqin was accepted as a righteous son by Tumen Khan of Chahar and gave him his people, cattle and sheep, but this wolf-hearted guy returned to Karaqin after the death of Tumen Khan, and abducted all the people and cattle of Chahar, and the Karaqin people still refuse to return the Manwusu Ministry, and now they have killed the people sent by Chahar to the market, how should these accounts be calculated, should the Mongolian Great Khan be bullied by you Taiji and Noyan?

The Qiuerji Lama still wanted to defend a few words, but Chahar Khan simply pointed at his nose and scolded the Huangjiao Lama, you guys who eat inside and out, everywhere conspire with the leaders of various tribes to oppose the Mongolian Great Khan, and the Huangjiao Wumu Sat Qiuerji Lama is also secretly operating in the Etok tribes directly under Chahar, inciting the leaders of the various ministries to fight against the Great Khan, this guy must have a connection with the Jin State, you Huangjiao Lamas even betrayed Mongolia for their own power, and you are embarrassed to bargain with the Great Khan here. Isn't the Living Buddha of Madari gone? He walked smartly, and it would be a scourge to stay, and the tragic fate of the Mongols today is the consequence of Altan Khan's introduction of the Yellow Sect.

The Lama was so angry that he had a big quarrel with Chahar Khan, who had always been respected all his life, and when he had been humiliated like this, he left Chahanhot in a fit of rage. In that case, let's prepare for war, but Chahar Khan is too much, he shouldn't insult Altan Khan and the Yellow Sect, and when he thinks of this on the way back, Lama Qiuerji can't help but be angry.

At this time, the Lama Qiuerji looked at the group of sleepy believers, he couldn't continue the preaching, he felt that it was time to say something, he raised his voice, and said in a somewhat excited tone: "Why do we Mongolians believe in the Gelugpa Yellow Religion, it is because we need Buddha to help the Mongolians get rid of suffering and eradicate bad habits. People must have life and death, but although their body is dead but their soul is not destroyed, the Buddha will reincarnate him according to the good and evil in his life, or for the great wealth or for the cattle and horses, the blessings and misfortunes in this life are all because of the previous life, so people should spend their lives to accumulate good and virtuous, painstaking cultivation in order to achieve positive results. But what have we done in the past, the Mongols only know how to keep killing living beings on the steppe, so that their sins are riddled with sins, Tengger can no longer help us, so we have always survived in hunger and killing, the most intolerable is the martyrdom and evil customs of our Mongolians, the Buddha tells us that all living beings should be equal, killing is a sin, their wives and concubines, slaves are also family members, should be considerate and loving, why unprovoked killing, the dead have died, the Buddha will be reborn beyond its reincarnation, and the living will be killed and buried for it, It will only make it difficult for the deceased to get rid of their sins, and this kind of evil will not be tolerated by heaven. ”

Li Yu, who was almost about to fall asleep, suddenly fell asleep, what the Monk Lama said was too reasonable, since all beings are equal, why kill living beings, he thought of the innocent people who were killed on Juehua Island, thought of the kind Concubine Abahai who was buried and died, and couldn't help nodding his head in approval, as the Monk Lama became more and more excited words, Li Yu couldn't help but sobbed in a low voice, this time everyone noticed him, the Monk Monk had already noticed this young man - I couldn't help but pay attention, Li Yu was too tall, More than half a head taller than those Mongolians, the Lama really didn't expect that he would make such a big guy cry when he spoke casually, so he spoke more vigorously.

"The sinful Mongols were abandoned by Tengger and had to struggle in misery, and finally the wise Altan Khan appeared, he was the reincarnation of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Great Yuan, and the Buddha sent him to save the Mongols, forty-eight years ago in Yanghua Monastery in the West Sea, Altan Khan summoned the leaders of 30,000 households on the right wing to greet Sonam Gyatso III ** Lama - he is also the reincarnation of the Great Yuan National Teacher Phags-pa, and together with Altan Khan was sent by the Buddha to help the Mongols, they got together and agreed to introduce the Yellow Religion into the Mongolian steppe to reopen the way of rebirth, Turning the sea of blood into a sea of milk, it was strictly forbidden for all Mongolian tribes to kill and bury, and since then all Mongolian tribes have lived a peaceful life. On that day, tens of thousands of Mongolian, Han, Tibetan and local tribal people came to Yanghua Monastery near the West Sea, and the Living Buddha of Sonam Gyatso conferred the title of "We Kharawaldi Chechen Khan", and Altan Khan also awarded the Living Buddha Sonam Gyatso the title of "Sacred Consciousness of All Wazir ** Lama", when the Mongolian leaders of Ordos Hutu Ketu Chechen Hongtaiji announced on behalf of the Mongolian leaders that "the sea of blood will be turned into a sea of milk". At that time, he was only five years old, and it was at that time that he was considered to be very Buddha-related by the third ** Lama, and personally ordained him and accepted him as a disciple.

Speaking of this, the Lama Zarji changed his words and said: "Altan Khan and the third ** Lama are so wise, but some people slander them, and they also introduce the Red Sect that does not abide by the rules and precepts into Mongolia, force away the Living Buddha of Maidali, and exclude the Yellow Lama, this is leading Mongolia astray, so that the Mongolian tribes will fall into vendetta again, this kind of vicious person will definitely get retribution, you are all believers of our religion, you should abide by the doctrine, do more good deeds, and do not be deceived and go astray." ”

The Qierji Lama talked about it for a while, and finally sent the "believers" of Derge away, but he stopped Li Yu, and the old lama was a little puzzled, so that such a tall and mighty warrior could cry reverently, this kind of thing seems to be rarely encountered, whether it is his own preaching and preaching well, or this big guy has a Buddha fate, the old lama has not yet spoken, and the big guy in front of him has already bowed to the ground.

Li Yu had long wanted to consult the Qiuerji Lama, but he never found a suitable opportunity, and when he was on an errand in the Wenguan of the Jin Kingdom, the Wumu Sat Qiuerji Lama told him that the most learned person on the grassland was the Qiuerji Lama of Kuku and Tun, and if he wanted to find out his own background, he should consult the Qiuerji Lama. Li Yu was confused and Degra came to listen to the lecture, and he didn't understand a word, but he was moved by what the Lama Erji said casually, especially the words "to turn the sea of blood into a sea of milk" shocked him, and he was really virtuous and learned, and he must ask him for advice.

The old lama was taken aback by Li Yu's gift, but he was very useful in his heart, and his good impression of this young man increased, the more the old and the young man talked, the more affectionate he became, Li Yu was a little superstitious about the old lama's words, he felt that the old lama's words just now were in his heart, so he told the old lama about his origin and doubts, and finally told the old lama that he just didn't want to stay in the Jin country to kill innocents, so he wanted to leave the Jin country to live a quiet life.

The old lama's spirits were lifted, and Baturu of the Jin Kingdom repented and wanted to find a place to change to farming, which shows that people's hearts are kind! Immediately patted his chest and said: "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, it is very good that you left the Jin Kingdom because you don't want to kill, this is a great merit, young man, you go to Kuku and Tun, here is the land for you to plant." ”

The old lama despised the Jin country very much, thinking that the Jin country is an uncivilized tribe, their respect for Lamaism is just to deceive the Mongols and play tricks, in fact, they still worship shamans, so they will kill, barbaric and tyrannical, they still retain the evil custom of martyrdom is to prove that what the Jin people do will be retributed, Li Yu's behavior is to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and he will get good results in the future, the old lama suggested that he should not use the ugly name of Zhushen in the future, you can take a Mongolian name or directly use your own Chinese name, of course Li Yu is willing to use a Chinese name, this is his real name,

It is difficult for the old lama to make a judgment on Li Yu's life experience, Zhenbei Pass is close to Kaiyuan Horse Market, where there are all kinds of people from Mongolia, Han and Zhushen, and Li Yu's accent is a little bit of Mongolian, Han and Zhushen, saying that he can speak that kind of clan. The old lama solemnly looked carefully at the words written by Li Yu on several pieces of paper, and said slowly: "There is no doubt that you are writing Chinese characters, but it is different from the Chinese characters of the Ming Kingdom, it is too simplified and completely loses the charm of Chinese characters, I have also lived in Han for more than two years, and I have never seen this kind of Chinese characters, and the pronunciation of these Chinese characters in the Ming Kingdom is also very different from yours, so you should not be from the Ming Kingdom, but where you are from, I can't judge." ”

Li Yu hung his head again, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know who I am, I don't know where I came from, and I don't know where I'm going in the future. ”

Lama Yuerji looked at him sympathetically and said, "Don't be sad, I'll think about it for you, maybe I will be able to figure out your life story after a while." "But I pondered Li Yu's words in my heart, who am I? Where do I come from? Where are they going? These three questions seem to be very simple, but all living beings seem to be answering these three questions, and there may be university questions in them.

From this day on, the old lama often found Li Yu to chat, he gradually liked this simple, diligent young man, just happened to encounter heavy snow on the road, the team could not move forward, had to find a shelter to camp, the snow fell for a few days, the old lama took the opportunity to call Li Yu to his big tent, patiently to Li Yu to pass the scriptures, he wanted to try this guy's Buddha fate, but he was soon disappointed, Li Yu did want to learn seriously, but Li Yu learned quickly and forgot faster, the Lama finally admitted that Li Yu is still relatively stupid, In the future, he may be a farmer or shepherd for a lifetime, Li Yu himself is not embarrassed, when he was in Wula Mountain, the old shaman also wanted to pass on his mantle to him, and he spent a lot of thoughts, and the ending was the same as that of Erji, and finally gave up, Li Yu is indeed a little stupid, often forgetting after learning in the front, when Kuer pestered him to read, he beat him for this.

Back to the Luan River, the caravan followed the swaggering Meng Ke across the river on the ice, Meng Ke said proudly: "I said it's okay, it's so cold and the ice is thick, take advantage of the snow to stop and hurry away, this area is a place where the Karaqin people haunt, those guys are very hungry and the snow may come out to rob." Several bodyguards nodded again and again, Derge was even more anxious, he had encountered a few horse thieves along the way, and the other party did not dare to attack when they saw that they were outnumbered, but as long as they were targeted by horse thieves, they might invite a large number of accomplices to rob together, and it would be troublesome.

Li Yu helped the Zarji Lama to his horse, and the caravan was on the road again under the urging of Derge, and the Gurji Lama told everyone to walk for a few more days, and when they arrived at Karamangnai, there would be a tribe of the Tumuts, and then it would be safe, and Derge's caravan could also go to the tribe there and spend the winter with them.

The caravan had only gone for less than ten miles, and suddenly a few chirping dwarfs with piercing screams swept through the sky, Derge's face was frightened, he knew what it meant, several consecutive ringing of different sounds sounded to indicate that there were several horse thieves coming towards them, it seemed that someone was eyeing them, and they invited them to attack them while the heavy snow stopped, Meng Ke didn't care, he was originally doing this, he knew the number of ways the other party worked, and he had already made up his mind, he really couldn't beat and run, as for whether Derg was unlucky or not, it was none of his business, Hadari has already led a mule to Li Yu's side, Li Yu quickly took off the armor from the mule's back, and at the same time beckoned Meng Ke to hurry up and put on the armor, Meng Ke absentmindedly began to put on the armor, while whispering to Li Yu: "Big head, there are a lot of people coming back from the other party, if we can't beat it, don't give up, just run away with Hadari, if Derge is smart, he will leave the livestock and flee for his life." ”

Li Yu nodded: "When the time comes, we will act when the opportunity comes, but we can't ignore the Queerji Lama, he is a good person, when the time comes, you take the Cerji Lama and Hadari to run first, and I will break the back." ”

"You're still a little dead-eyed, so let's listen to you." Meng Ke was a little helpless, and then said with a wicked smile on his face, "Isn't the Lama Pure Monk proficient in Buddhism and highly respected, maybe he can drive away the horse thief by chanting the sutras." ”

There were horse thieves in the distance, Meng Ke immediately judged that this was the Karaqin horse thief everyone said, there were more and more horse thieves, more than 200 people came one after another, blocking the road of the caravan from all sides, Li Yu carefully observed the other party, these guys have no armor, and their clothes are also in tatters, but almost everyone has bows and arrows, many people still have knives and spears in their hands, and some people still hold horse poles, it seems that they are also a group of poor thieves. Li Yu and Derge came together to discuss a few words, Li Yu immediately ordered Meng Ke to take Hadari to the Queerji Lama, and he rushed forward with a dozen bodyguards, Derge immediately urged the remaining bodyguards to protect the caravan, and the entourage caught up with the cattle and followed behind Li Yu and rushed out.

From the very beginning, the Lama asked the little lama to hold the flag and keep drinking to order the horse thieves to get away, of course the horse thieves would not give him face, and rushed to Derge's livestock, which was their goal, the lamas could not arouse their interest, and the horse thieves obviously did not want to hurt these lamas, and threw them aside as if they were nothing, which made the Queerji Lama very angry, and shouted at the horse thieves, but the horse thieves ignored him at all, and the Queerji Lama gritted his teeth and shouted at Meng Ke: "These are unrepentant thieves, young man, If they dare to hurt anyone, you will shoot them with arrows. Meng Ke said yes and immediately raised his bow, and Hadari also followed his example and opened his bow and arrows, and shouted in his mouth: "Grandpa Lama, don't be afraid, I will protect you." ”

Li Yu, who rushed in front, fired several arrows in a row, shooting down the horses of several horse thieves, he didn't want to hurt the other party, as long as the other party could know the difficulty and retreat, but this group of horse thieves also had brute strength, not only did not run but also used arrows to fight back, and an arrow was also shot on Li Yu's thigh, fortunately, the armor protected no one and did not hurt anyone, Li Yu was also angry, and an arrow shot the hat of the other party's leader away, which scared the other party and hurriedly made way for Li Yu. Li Yu easily rushed out of the encirclement, he looked back, these horse thieves let him go, but blocked the bodyguards back, the guards were not good, they were shot by the other party and injured two people, turned their heads and retracted back, Li Yu had no choice but to kill back into the encirclement, this time he went directly to the Qierji Lama, and asked: "Qierji Lama, if you don't kill people now, can these horse thieves be killed?" ”

The Gurji Lama ignored him, turned his head with a snort, and Meng Ke said with a smile: "The Monk Lama is to let you surpass these wicked people and send them to be reincarnated as soon as possible and no longer be evil, this is a good deed, right?" Lama Gyerji. ”

At this time, Li Yu let go of his hands and feet, and shot three horse thieves with three arrows in a row, Meng Ke and the bodyguards also opened the killing ring, and attacked those guys who held poles and horses, and the horse thieves did not dare to be reckless after losing more than a dozen people, and Li Yu shot them up, Derge took the opportunity to urge the caravan to move forward, and the two sides fought while walking, and there were casualties among each other, but the caravan could not get rid of this gang of horse thieves, Derge became more and more desperate, and the bodyguards had casualties and became more and more tired, and he was unlucky sooner or later if it went on.

The two sides are deadlocked, the caravan wants to go but it is difficult, the horse thieves are even more reluctant to let go of the dead, they are outnumbered, and it will only be beneficial to them to fight, Li Yu and Meng Ke are not difficult to deal with these horse thieves, and it is not difficult to protect the Yuerji Lama and Hadari, but it is difficult to take the caravan away, and this guy Derge wants money and does not want to die, guarding his livestock and not leaving, and he is crying and dragging Li Yu to death, Li Yu can't leave if he wants to.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of trumpets in the distance, and then there was a dull and neat sound of horses' hooves, and after a while, I saw a team galloping from the south, and the horse thieves were stunned at first, and when they saw each other clearly, they immediately panicked and became in chaos, and before the team approached, they scattered and fled, and the team quickly rushed over, this was a large group of well-armed cavalry, about fifty or sixty, but they did not raise the banner, they did not say anything, and killed and slashed at the horse thieves who did not have time to run away, In the blink of an eye, the Karaqin horse thief who had just been fighting hard was swept away, leaving dozens of corpses on the snow.

Derge is worthy of being mixed in the horse market of the Ming Kingdom, although the gang of people who came are wearing clothes and armor, he can see their origin at a glance: "It's the Ming army!" Thankfully, someone saved us. Hey, that's not right! Why did the Ming army run here, this is not the territory of the Ming Kingdom. ”

"It's really the Ming army, but these guys are here to be thieves, wait and see, there will be a good show to watch in a while, these guys are horse thieves, and those guys just now are the poor ghosts of Karaqin who came to rob in groups." Meng Ke said coldly on the side, Derge almost fell off his horse when he heard it, what is the matter! A pack of wolves left, and then a pack of tigers.

Driving away the Karaqin people, this group of cavalry swaggered to the caravan, and in a blink of an eye, dozens of bloody human heads were thrown in front of Derge and them, and the Qierji Lama was also taken aback, and folded his hands and recited the scriptures, Li Yu quietly asked Meng Ke: "Do you know these guys?" ”

"There are so many thieves in the world, how can I recognize them." Meng Ke replied angrily, thinking in his heart, this should be outside the edge of Jizhen in the Ming Kingdom, I heard that this piece seems to be Sun Erniang's territory, is this guy here?
