Since entering this Wuchang country. They couldn't help but feel that, just like Master Xuanzang's evaluation of the people here, they advocate deceit and are cowardly by nature. In fact, all this, as Wang Xuance explained, after the great ups and downs of Buddhism here, it led to the impetuousness of the doctrinal concept, and there was no famous master to lead the improvement of this doctrinal concept, so Buddhism went astray here......

Since they have gone astray, through this mantra and drawing talismans, they will naturally lead the people astray and cause this personality change. That being said, they also know that they are powerless in the face of some fundamental changes in their bones......

Because all the famous Buddhist relics of this Wuchang country are around the capital city of Bisheli; So, their destination this time was to temporarily reach the city of Vaishali. I saw that this Visha is sixteen or seventeen miles away from the city, and in the eyes of this northern India, it is also a fairly large capital, and the capital is made of bricks and stones, and it is about three zhang high. It also looks quite majestic and majestic, and it is unusually strong.

After a few days of peaceful and comfortable walking, we arrived at the capital city of Vishali. Since he came, he naturally wanted to pay a visit to the king of this Wuchang country in order to repair the good relations between the two countries. As far as the city begins, although Buddhism has weakened a lot, the prosperity of the city has not diminished in the slightest. I saw that the people who were sourcing the goods, the people who were rushing to the market, and many people and merchants dressed in white woolen cloth clothes, often shuttled through the gate of this city, and people came and went, and it was very lively.

This mighty Tang Dynasty mission, showing the majesty of a great country, came to the gate of this city. In fact, the soldiers guarding the gate had already seen this group of more than 30 people from a distance, not only majestic and neat, but also solemn and solemn, plus their gorgeous silk clothes and delicate oriental faces. Suddenly, these rather lazy soldiers cheered up. Therefore, after seeing them arrive at the gate of the city, they hurriedly greeted them politely, and asked flatteringly: "Ladies and gentlemen, where did you come from, and what did you do when I left the city?" ”

Wang Xuance saw that they were in such a diligent state, and he also smiled helplessly in his heart. Although he was also very disdainful, he still showed the demeanor that an envoy of a great country should have, and politely replied: "We are an envoy from the Tang Kingdom of Dongtu, my name is Wang Xuance, and I am specially ordered by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to send an envoy to our Wuchang country, and I sincerely ask for a voice on my behalf." ”

These lazy soldiers, when they heard that they were envoys from the Tang Kingdom, and then heard the three words Wang Xuance, they were stunned. Hurriedly woke up the gatekeeper who was sleeping at a table at the gate of the city. As soon as the gatekeeper heard that it was a person from Datang, he immediately stood up from the stool, shook his head, and immediately sobered up a lot.

I saw this gatekeeper, who was in his thirties and nearly forty. Hurriedly under the guidance of the soldiers, he came to the side of Wang Xuance and the others, respectfully, and asked cautiously: "Ten years ago, you rode on the bank of the Ganga River, led 8,000 iron cavalry, and exterminated the Tang envoy Wang Xuance Wang Changshi?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Xuance and Zhou Chen were also stunned when they saw each other. So this Wang Xuance still returned quite politely: "Exactly, I waited for the first time in your country this time, and I hoped that the general would help introduce me, so I said that I would wait to meet the king." ”

After receiving this affirmative answer, the gatekeeper immediately returned with a smile: "Wang Changshi's prestige has been transmitted for a long time in our five Indian lands, and the little one has admired Changshi for many years, and I never thought that I would be able to see Changshi in my Wuchang country today. Please Changshi under this pavilion, wait a while, I will send people to the palace to inform my king. ”

"So, thank you general," Wang Xuance thanked him.

Between the words, "Wang Changshi is outside", the gatekeeper, on the one hand, hurriedly ordered a soldier with sharp legs and feet to go to the palace to report quickly, and on the other hand, he diligently politely let Wang Xuance and Zhou Chen and others sit under this pavilion.

After they sat down, they served tea and poured water, which was a good example of the style and style of domestic slaves. This scene also made Wang Xuance and Zhou Chen, who were sitting at the table, laugh again.

I only heard this Chen Maocai ask: "General, you can also sit down, don't be so polite to us, we are also embarrassed?" ”

"Alas, this is as it should be, a distinguished guest like you, our king is also envious, this is not easy to come to our Wuchang country once, we must be well entertained!"

"Does your king often talk about us?" Chen Maocai also answered with his words.

"Yes, think about how strong the army left by the King of the Ring of the Sun to Alonashun was back then, you were stunned to convince them, especially the battle of this Great Broken Elephant Army, which is enough to go down in history." The gatekeeper said in a flattering manner.

There is a Chinese proverb that a good man does not mention the courage of the year, although what the gatekeeper said is the truth; But looking at his appearance and appearance, as well as his flattering words, Wang Xuance and others were also quite disgusted. I couldn't help but think of Master Xuanzang's account in the Tang Dynasty Western Regions: human nature is cowardly, vulgar and treacherous.

It was just a meal, accompanied by the people on both sides of the city gate to avoid it. I saw that the soldier with sharp legs and feet just now ran over at a gallop and shouted loudly: "The king has arrived."

Hearing this, Wang Xuance and the others hurriedly straightened their clothes and stood up out of the need for etiquette. But I saw that at the gate of this city, a group of soldiers rushed out like this, and the order was quiet. On top of the imperial bowl decorated with this silk canopy, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in gorgeous silk clothes, was supported by his attendants. Needless to say, this is the current king of this Wuchang country.

Wang Xuance hurriedly led Zhou Chen and the others to greet him, and bowed down and saluted: "Wang Xuance, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, meet the king." ”

"Wang Changshi, hurry up and excuse me, your prestige not only made this king have heard of it, but also made my five Indians shake it, I looked forward to it, I never thought that I really looked forward to Wang Changshi." The king also said quite kindly.

So, after everyone greeted him, Wang Xuance boarded his royal palace at the kind invitation of the king of Wuchang country, and was welcomed to the palace of this Wuchang country with the most solemn courtesy.

I saw that with the open curtain of the imperial court, the people on both sides of the street, hearing that it was the envoy of the Tang Kingdom, not only knelt on the ground, but also kept looking up, looking at the luxurious royal convoy, with the soldiers opening the way. In this way, everyone was welcomed into the magnificent palace of the king of Wuchang.
