"It is so, these various sects rise and fall in the land of our five Indias, and as long as the fire is kept, there is hope for everything," said Lyroja, who also echoed his words.

In fact, in Wang Xuance's heart, there has always been such a feeling: among the princes and princes of this upper class, as long as they believe in this Buddhism, this Buddhism will definitely flourish as it did in the Tang Dynasty. But after this third mission, when he carefully understood everything in the land of the five Indians, he found that their religion was far from so.

For example, the old king of many countries of Sang and even counted the two brothers of Leroja and Lebokar. Although they also believe in Buddhism, they have not achieved this upward and downward effect. The reason for this is precisely because of the deep-rooted roots of these four caste systems in these five Indian lands, especially at the top, which is the Brahmin class, and each caste, with what each caste has been firmly entrenched in, is not only self-contained, but also implicated in each other; Therefore, it is natural that the result of this upward and downward effect cannot be achieved.

"I came this time to follow the will of His Majesty and the Queen, to pay homage to the Buddha, although the Buddha's finger relics have disappeared, but I also hope to pay homage to the Buddha's finger relics once enshrined, I hope the king can be gracious." After Wang Xuance thought about it for a while, he said this......

Hearing this, Lyroja could also feel his deep friendship and devotion to the Buddha. So, with his words, he answered......

Therefore, after their greetings, Wang Xuance led Chen and the others to bring purple robes and seven treasure ring knives and other offerings this week. Under the leadership of this Liroja, he came to an elegant house in the apse of the palace. I saw that this fine house has the characteristics of Tianzhu, and the shape is also the shape of an Ashoka pagoda, and the height is basically the same as various palaces, which is a pure white building.

From a distance, it is also quite majestic and solemn. When they entered the house, they found that it was about three zhang square, and the layout was very compact. In this compact layout, not only is the decoration quite magnificent, but also a variety of pearl agate, gold and silver are also completely embellished. I saw that in the middle of this ashram, on top of a rosewood case, there was a gilded Ashoka pagoda, about three feet high.

But when he saw this Liluoja, he pointed to this Ashoka Pagoda and said: "This Buddha's finger bone relics have always been in this Ashoka Hall. It's a pity that it's now an empty Ashoka Pagoda."

Although there is no Buddha finger relics here for the time being, it is enough to feel that she has received quite high courtesy. So, Wang Xuance led Zhou and Chen to the others, and then picked up three incense sticks, respectfully facing the empty Ashoka Pagoda, and sacrificed the place where the Buddha finger relics were once enshrined.

After some sincere respect and observation. But seeing this Wang Xuance said to Liluoja with a happy face: "This purple robe and the Seven Treasures Ring Knife are exactly what we are waiting for this time, in accordance with the will of His Majesty and Niangniang, to pay tribute to the treasures given by the Buddha, although there is no Buddha finger relics here for the time being, but Xuan Ce also wants these two treasures to be safely dedicated to the Buddha, and I implore the king to accept them on his behalf." ”

Liroja and Vidina were also quite happy when they looked at these two supreme treasures, and smiled at each other. He accepted these two treasures on his behalf, and then ordered people to be enshrined next to this Ashoka Pagoda, praying that the Buddha's finger relics could appear as soon as possible and bless thousands of people!

Although this salute is simple, it does not lose the generosity and dignity that a great country should have. Therefore, after the salute, the people immediately got up and left the ashram. I only heard this Liluoja say: "It is rare that after this Buddhism was introduced to the Tang Dynasty, your majesty can have such deep friendship, and the fly in the ointment is that we have lost this treasure." ”

"The king doesn't have to blame himself, I don't know how this Buddha finger relic was lost at that time." Although Wang Xuance already knew a rough idea, he still reported the last trace of fantasy and knew a process from the mouth of Liluoja.

"Back then, since the usurpation of this Alonashun, I escaped from this Qu Nu City, it is precisely because I saw the relics of the mother king later, I have more respect for this Buddha finger relic, so, after we led the troops to capture this Qu Nu City, I took the lead in coming to this palace, wanting to worship this supreme relic. But when I entered this ashram, I found that it had disappeared. I was also very annoyed at the time, thinking that this relic was lost because of our attack, and finally I inquired about the guards guarding the relic, and only then did I know that since this Alonashun stayed in this palace and performed the Buddha extinction, this relic has disappeared without explanation. Led the people and said to them as he went.

"Disappeared, how did you disappear?" Chen Maocai took this opportunity to ask with a lot of questions.

"According to the guards who were guarding at the time, after Alona Shun issued the order, in the dark night not long after dinner, the ashram was still brightly lit at first, but suddenly accompanied by a golden light, this Buddha finger relic disappeared from under everyone's noses in an instant......

"And such a miraculous thing, this Buddha relic will fly away by itself?" After Zhou Zeng and Wang Xuance wanted to take a look, they also asked in surprise.

"Indeed, two of the guards, as well as one of the attendants, witnessed the process. And at that time, the palace was also heavily guarded, and it was not easy for people to let this treasure go, so they fished in troubled waters and took it away," Liroja truthfully told them what they knew.

"Where are these three who have seen it now, and are they all right?" After thinking for a while, Wang Xuance continued to ask......

"One of the guards died of illness a few years ago, and the other guard, while bathing in the Ganga River, accidentally drowned, as for this attendant, because of old age and infirmity, since he left the palace, his whereabouts are unknown." Liroja replied nonchalantly.

Hearing his reply, Wang Xuance asked Vidina thoughtfully: "Back then, our Usas were all over the country, can we investigate more secretly and find out the whereabouts of this Buddha finger relic?" ”

"Wang Changshi, I can't hide it, I and the king disappeared out of thin air against the Buddha's finger relics, it is also very strange, since we captured this Qunu City, I have sent people to visit, although the eyeliner is dense all over the country, but still have not found the clues of these two treasures." Vidina also shook her head helplessly and replied......

Having said that, they can't ask anything more. With the guidance of Relolaja, the people returned to the main hall of the palace. Seeing that the time was just right, this gorgeous and grand welcome banquet opened elegantly......
