Chapter 6 Tianzhu (5)

Before leaving, Katilia told the two that this 'Lady Maya Temple' was originally a sacred place for Buddhism, but due to the decline of local Buddhism for many years, it has been rare for people to visit, and it will take some time for him to come back in search of medicine, so the two can concentrate on cultivating here.

In the first few days, the two of them were very restrained when cultivating. Until one day, Dao Yan made a swing for Paya under the sora tree and tied her with a beautiful head ring with flowers. Paya was raised without her relatives to receive a strict 'god queen' training, and her childhood was basically spent in fear and obedience, and when she grew up, her people were left to misfortune, and no one had ever treated her like this, and a sweet sense of happiness welled up in her heart. For the first time in his life, he saw someone dancing in the water, and his heart rose and fell in the water with Paya's graceful dance, and finally he couldn't help but linger with her in the holy pool. Since then, cultivation has become a happy and enjoyable thing.

Dao Yan noticed that Paya had been making excuses not to eat in recent days, or had eaten very little, so she opened the package where the food was stored when she went to bathe in the holy pool, only to find that the food left by Cortilia was almost finished, and Paya made excuses not to eat in order to keep him full. Dawyan told Paya that he would be very sad if she didn't eat and go hungry, and that he wouldn't eat anymore from now on unless she started eating too. Paya felt that Dao Yan was the person who cared about her the most in the world, and she was moved to tears, so the two decided to have a full meal together tonight, and tomorrow they would go out hunting and picking wild fruits to satisfy their hunger. Just as Dao Yan showed Paya a small piece of pastry on her face, how to eat it without her hands and squeezing her eyebrows and making Paya laugh. But he saw a lot of people walking in the distance outside the shrine with sparse torches.

Dao Yan hurriedly protected Paya behind his back with one hand, lifted the 'Tianhe Shenzhen' with the other, and stretched out his feet to extinguish the fire. The two of them hid in the shadows on the edge of the altar, and Dao Yan looked sideways, and saw that many of these people were not advancing when they came to the sarotree, and a thin old man walked towards the ancestral hall with a torch, and shouted in Sanskrit as he went: "Paya, don't be afraid, it's Daddy Amir who is here." ”

Dao Yan turned around and asked Paya with his eyes, Paya looked at him with surprise and shook his head, Dao Yan was not at ease, so that Paya still stayed by the altar, and slowly walked out of the shadows with the 'Tianhe Shenzhen' in his hand, at this time the old man Amir had already walked into the ancestral hall, and when he saw Dao Yan's guarded posture, he smiled and said: "You are Dao Yan, don't doubt it, it was Cortilia who notified us with a flying pigeon secret letter." ”

These days, Paya has taught Daoyan some Sanskrit for daily communication, and communication is no longer a big problem.

Just as he wanted the old man to bring Katilia's secret letter to Paya for identification, he saw that Paya had already come out of the corner.

"Dad, it's really you, who else is here?" Paya asked, incredulous.

"It's all here, it's all here, good boy, come and let Daddy see you." Amir said excitedly, his voice slightly hoarse.

Paya hurriedly walked over, took one of Amir's hands with both hands, and threw herself into his arms, crying out loud.

Amir also burst into tears, stretched out his hand to stroke Payana's slender hair and said: "Good boy, I have worked hard for you, you have suffered so much for the sake of your people, and your father is old and useless, otherwise he will not use this method even if he dies." ”

"No, Dad, I'm not bitter." Paya sensibly comforted Amir.

"Daddy, this is Yun Daoyan from the East. He promised to help us save our people, and the Guru should have told you. Paya said, wiping away her tears.

"Yes, but the secret letter is too short, and it is not very detailed." Amir also said as he wiped his tears with his sleeve.

So Paya told the old man Amir what had happened, and Dao Yan knew that this old man was the current patriarch of the Moon God Clan. It turned out that Katilia had made another plan for the follow-up of their rescue plan the night before leaving, once the imprisoned clansmen were rescued, they would move with their clan, but if they had notified the existing clansmen to come to rendezvous at that time, they were worried that they would be intercepted by the enemy halfway, and a lot of time would be wasted, so they let them rush to meet Daoyan and Paya first, and then leave together after successfully rescuing the clansmen. So the time and route for the clansmen to come were also designed accordingly, which is why Amir and the others arrived in such a timely manner, so Dao Yan admired this clever master even more.

Dao Yan and Paya asked Amir and his people to live in the shrine, but Amir firmly refused, saying that when they came, they had found a suitable place to camp on the banks of the oil river not far from here, so that they would not have to worry, and that they would be responsible for providing daily food and drink for the future. Dao Yan knew that Amir was worried about hindering the cultivation of the two of them to do so, but it was inconvenient to say it directly, so he agreed to do what Amir wanted, but it was too late today, and the people who came were full of old people, women and children. The old man Amir thanked Daoyan and told him with a smile that they had been living in various places since ancient times for some reason, so they could survive in any environment, and migration was a common occurrence for them, and they had only been here for four generations in the Lumbini Mountains, so they could adapt to the environment here better than other ancient races that had been living here, and led the people away.

After completing the cultivation, the two snuggled up to the shore of the sacred pool, and Paya told Dao Yan a story about their Moon God Clan hundreds of years ago. When the story happened, the Moon God Clan was still in the Western Regions, and at that time, there was an outstanding leader in the clan who led the clan to establish the Xiliang Kingdom, because the leader was a woman, so all the countries in the Western Regions called it the 'Xiliang Women's Country'. Just when the queen was planning her grand cause, suddenly one day from the Eastern Tang Dynasty came a monk and several of his apprentices, these people are said to be in the Tang Dynasty Emperor to go to Tianzhu to seek the true scriptures to purify all sentient beings, the queen heard that the Tang Dynasty is a very powerful country, so she wanted to ask these people some questions. But later, for some reason, the queen fell in love with one of the monk's apprentices, and even went away with him because he was willing to give up the queen's throne, but the apprentice refused the queen's kindness and left her. The queen was heartbroken and mourned all day long. A few years later, the queen got the news that the man had returned to the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't know why he offended the emperor. In order to save him, the queen ran to the countries of the Western Regions to form an alliance, and did not hesitate to start a war with the Tang Dynasty, just as the coalition army had defeated the main force of the Tang army, the queen wanted to force the Tang Dynasty emperor to release the man on this condition, but found that the person appeared in the Tang army camp, and did not know what spell was used, and actually defeated a million coalition troops in one fell swoop. After this battle, the queen and the man disappeared together, and the Xiliang Kingdom quickly turned from prosperity to decline, and was soon destroyed by other countries, and the remaining people fled to other lands. Datang was also greatly injured by this service, and soon a deadly civil strife broke out.

Paya originally planned to use this story to show Dao Yan that she would give up everything for him in the future and go anywhere with him, but she saw Dao Yan's eyes solemn and looked thoughtfully at the tooth marks on his arms, in fact, Paya had already discovered that there was a tooth mark on each of Dao Yan's arms, and deduced from the shape that it should have been left by two different women, so she stopped talking, and instead sang a gentle love song that was said to be written by Queen Xiliang to her lover.

For a period of time after that, although the two of them insisted on cultivating every day, they did not practice several times a day as before. More often than not, Dao Yan practiced alone in the open field on the grounds of learning "Siamese Boxing", this set of boxing techniques is mainly based on knees and elbows to attack the enemy's vital points in close quarters, emphasizing one blow to defeat the enemy, as the 'bodhicitta in his body' skills become stronger and stronger, it is easy to break stones and break pillars with this boxing method. Although Dao Yan had also practiced several times in the other book of "Western Regions Sword Technique", he did not continue because the 'Tianhe Shenzhen' did not match the blade given in the secret book. After her daily practice, Paya would immerse herself in the sacred pool for a long time, sometimes swinging under the tree, and sometimes playing with the bees, butterflies, and birds around her without disturbing the Tao.
