On this day, while Dao Yan and Paya were having breakfast, they saw Amir hurrying to him outside the door, and they hurried out to meet him, and saw him riding a horse himself, and two horses from behind. Amir jumped off his horse and took out a note from his bosom and showed it to the two. Dao Yan saw that the note was densely written with some patterns that looked like the paw prints of small birds, and he knew that this was the secret letter of the Moon God Clan.

Amir saw that Dao Yan did not recognize the handwriting on the secret letter, so he explained: "Kautilia has sent a letter this morning, the medicine has been refined, let us hurry to meet him." I will come to you at once and tell you that when you are ready, we will go back to the camp and set out together. ”

Since the two of them didn't have any luggage, they quickly packed up. When he came to the place where he had buried Ganesh in front of the broken pillar of Sanssouci and laid some offerings, he went to the shrine and had just passed the sacred pool, when he saw Paya standing with his back to him in front of the swing under the sora tree. Amir led the horse and stood beside him, shaking his head and sighing. When he saw Dao Yan coming, Amir said that he was waiting for them in front of them, and then led his horse and walked away. When he came to the tree, he saw two half-human-sized straw men on the swing, the head of the 'female straw man' resting on the shoulders of the 'male straw man', her hands on her lap, and the 'male straw man' with one hand on top of the 'female straw man's hands, and the other hand tightly on the shoulders of the 'female straw man'. Paya slowly plucked the wreath from her head, gently put it on the head of the 'straw woman', looked at Dao Yan with a tender smile, and took his hand and walked towards Amir.

On the way to meet Katilia, Dao Yan discovers that Amir does not take everyone on a normal journey every day, but sometimes he is slow and slow, sometimes stopping in one place for a few days, and sometimes he travels overnight. Paya told Dao Yan that Amir had led everyone to evade the patrol soldiers according to the secret letter left by Cortilia, and that Dao Yan had thought that Cortilia was scouting in front of their team while leaving a mark, but Paya told him that it was left behind by Cortilia when he left to collect medicine. So I admired this resourceful teacher even more.

A few days later, they arrived at the village where they had agreed to meet Katilia, and the three of them, Paya, and Amir followed the signs to an inn, which was small but clean, and for the first time Daoyan saw an exotic inn decorated with colorful veils. As soon as they entered the door, the boss saw them and hurriedly came over and asked, "It's Uncle Amir, your guests are waiting for you upstairs." The three of them went upstairs. As soon as they met, Amir greeted Cortilia with a hug, while Daoyan and Paya folded their hands and saluted Cortilia. After returning the salute, Cortilia's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Very good, very good, I was originally worried about how to get rid of your knots, but now it seems that my worries are unnecessary. After laughing, Amir also laughed, but there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes. Knowing why Cortilia was so happy, Daoyan and Paya asked. Kortilia smiled and said that he would have to wait for one more person to come, and that it would be okay to give them a brief explanation, so he reached out and gently brushed it over behind Paya's veil, and when he opened his hand, a colorful butterfly flew out of it, and he told them that this was the answer. The two looked at the fluttering butterflies even more inexplicably. Katilia smiled and said, "Don't pretend to be mysterious, this butterfly means that the 'vajra bodhichitta' of the two of you has reached the state of 'practicing bodhichitta'. Ordinary people do not have 'bodhicitta 'bodhicitta 'and only the gods and Buddhas with boundless power, the immortals and saints of natural creation, and the great virtues and wisdom of those who have attained positive results have 'bodhichitta', and 'bodhicitta is divided into several levels', and if mortals practice hard, they may be able to comprehend the 'red and white bodhicitta that represents the will' by chance, but the probability is extremely small. On the other hand, some 'immortals and saints' will give birth to the 'Vajra Bodhicitta of one higher level' representing nature in several rebirths, and the highest level of 'supreme bodhichitta' representing heaven and earth is only possessed by immortal gods and Buddhas. The practice of 'vajra bodhichitta' is called 'walking bodhichitta', and the level of the state of 'doing bodhichitta' is observed through the changes in the 'instruments' in both sides of the practice. And how to start 'practicing bodhichitta' requires a spiritual connection between the two practitioners, but this is often the most difficult. Since the 'Vajra Bodhicitta is derived from the essence of nature, the cultivator is inviolable, and the higher the realm, the stronger the natural breath emitted by the 'instrument', although the fragrance emitted by the realm of the two of you cannot be smelled by yourself, it is due to the limitation of mortal sense of smell, but these animals smell the fragrance by their innate instinct, so they surround the 'instrument'. Since Dao Yan is not one of those 'immortal saints', even though he has cultivated 'Vajra Bodhichitta', his skills can only improve himself and cannot improve Paya. After listening to Cortilia's explanation, Paya muttered to herself, "No wonder there are always bees and butterflies flying around me lately, and I thought it was because I was bathing in the holy pool. ”

While the four of them were talking, they saw a man wearing an Arab headscarf and a black beard walk upstairs. After seeing the four of them, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The servant Joseph Ganash pays a visit to the 'Divine Venerable', the 'Divine Queen'." "These days, Daoyan and Paya have told their people through Amir not to call them 'god honor' or 'god queen' in the future, and everyone has complied with it. Cortilia hurriedly explained: This is the general merchant of his clan, and because of the limited number of words in the secret letter, he only notified him to come to the meeting without explaining the name clearly. After Amir briefly instructed Joseph how to address Daoyan and Paya in the future, he introduced some information about the Moon Protoss Shang to Daoyan.

Since the Moon God Clan has often migrated in history, it needs a lot of money, so it is a clan rule that the elderly male clan will start doing business after losing their combat effectiveness, and hand over a part of the profits to the patriarch, who is responsible for taking out a small part of these income to maintain the simple life of the clan, and hiding most of it for the clan to migrate when encountering emergencies. The merchant general is the leader of the merchants within the clan and is responsible for the trade of various places. Joseph's father, a merchant of the previous generation, married a Jewish woman while he was on business, and gave him a Jewish name after giving birth to him. Joseph showed great merchandising talent from an early age, and with the consent of the patriarch of the day, he became the first young merchant in the clan and made a large amount of money for his family. After his father left office, he was elected by his people as the new general merchant, and he always disguised himself as an Arab merchant for the convenience of doing business. Dao Yan said in his heart: No wonder the Moon God Clan has many talents, and this has a lot to do with the hardships and tribulations they have experienced, so I thought that I can have this because of this.

"Are you ready?" Amir asked.

"In some haste, I brought only one good sugar cane, one good pomegranate, two jackfruits, and four lychees for everyone to use on the road, and according to the instructions of the Guru, all the ships in the local harbor had left the port, and the livestock and grain were distributed to the workers and servants. The property, title deeds and inventory have been sold, and the profit is tripled, and if it takes more time, it is expected to be quadruple. Joseph reported to the four in a serious manner, and Amir nodded that it was okay.

Seeing that Da Yan was at a loss, Amir explained to him some of the code words that Joseph had just mentioned. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the Moon God Merchants will use some code words when they mention some sensitive words in public conversations, head: refers to the quantity, which is the load of an elephant, sugar cane refers to ivory, good sugar cane refers to the best ivory, pomegranate refers to gemstones, jackfruit and lychee represent gold and silver respectively.

"Did you get the water and the map?" Cortilia continued to ask.

"Rest assured, Guru, nothing goes wrong." Joseph replied confidently.

"Has the contract been signed?" Amir asked.

"Signed, eight points." Joseph replied with a smile.

"Very good, not high, not low. It shouldn't be suspicious. Amir said in an approving tone.

Cortilia took out a dark green bottle from the cloth bag behind him and said: "This medicine has been refined a long time ago, but later I tried to make it harmless to animals for the sake of insurance, so it was delayed for some time, in short, it is better to be careful." ”

After that, the details of the rescue were discussed with reference to the map of the fortress that Joseph had obtained, and after dinner, everyone left one after another, leaving Daoyan and Paya in the house.

"Brother Yun, is there anything else that everyone hasn't considered will happen?" Paya asked, holding her hand to the map, looking at Dao Yan with two big beautiful eyes.

"The map that Joseph got is very detailed, and the master has thought it through, don't worry, Paja, I will definitely be able to rescue your people." Dao Yan wanted to comfort her as much as possible. Although he had experienced countless battles in 'Dawei Ruyi', this was the first time in reality, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart, but he didn't want Paya to worry.

But as soon as the words fell, he saw Paya brushing her hands and crying. Dao Yan hurriedly walked towards her, Paya hugged his legs, whimpered and said, "You must come back alive, the clan can save it, but if you can't save it... That was the Moon God's punishment for them. After saying that, I couldn't help but sob.

Unable to know how to answer, he wanted to divert the subject, so he took Paya's hand and squatted down and asked, "Why do they want to imprison your people?" ”

"Due to the rise and fall of our Moon God Clan in the history of several times and the migration of various places, the clansmen have exercised a strong ability to survive, so the young men of our clan are very good warriors. When the Sultan found out, he wanted to recruit the men of our tribe to fight for him, but the patriarch would not agree, and at first he could bribe some officials in exchange for peace, but then the Sultan lost the battle and personally inquired about the matter, and those officials were afraid that it would harm them, so they arrested all the men of the right age to join the army in the tribe, imprisoned them in the fortress and forced them to swear to join the army to fight. The patriarch had planned to lead the rest of the clan to migrate, and then try to get the imprisoned clan to pretend to promise to wait for another chance to escape, but my clan swore a very heavy oath that once the oath was made, there would be no remorse. The patriarch had no choice but to come to the guru, who thought about it for a long time and had no choice but to turn to Ganesh for help. After listening to Paya, Dao Yan finally understood the ins and outs of this matter.

Dao Yan suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "The Singh Shah Ke who asked me to find it is your relative?" ”

Paya closed her eyes and shook her head with tears in her eyes. "He's my brother." whispered.

Dao Yan hugged Paya tightly in his arms and said firmly, "Trust me, we will all return to you." ”

Paya shook her head happily, burst into laughter, and a wisp of fragrance came to her nose.
