Chapter 305: Tubo
The matter of Tianzhu came to an end, and Lu Hanyang took Monk Xuanzang and his two younger brothers, as well as the three-headed dog of hell, and left the country directly, they were ready to cross the Himalayas, enter Tibet, and then return to the Tang Dynasty.
Such a route is the shortest distance that Lu Hanyang knows, and the towering Himalayas may be a moat for ordinary people, and it is even difficult to climb for a lifetime, but for Lu Hanyang and the Black Panther, Pierce, Xiaosan, and even the monk Xuanzang who has just gained the ability, it is not insurmountable.
Lu Hanyang's physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, and the Taoist robe on his body makes him immune to cold and heat, and this mountain is not difficult for him at all. And the black panther eats on its body, and that armor also has the function of keeping warm from the cold, and it is not afraid. As for the junior, not to mention, a thick fur is not an ornament. Only Pierce was close, but not by much.
As for Monk Xuanzang, the ability he gained was extraordinary, at least in terms of adapting to the environment, he was much stronger than Pierce, and when he arrived in a cold place, he transformed into a beast with thick fur, and he easily carried it.
Therefore, they have the innate conditions to take this shortcut, and they are all strong beings, and they are not afraid of whether it will be difficult to climb the mountain, so after walking out of Tianzhu, they went directly to the direction of the towering mountains.
Because Xuanzang had surrendered to Lu Hanyang and obtained Lu Hanyang's promise that the Tang Buddhism would not be suppressed, it became his greatest wish to return to the Tang Dynasty quickly, so he was originally unwilling to take a shortcut, but this time he also made an exception. After all, he was able to travel tens of thousands of miles to Tianzhu to obtain the true scriptures, and this heart to the Buddha made him a little disgusted with taking shortcuts.
The speed of the group is fast, or the speed of the junior. Anyway, there was only one junior who was on the way, and the rest of the people were sitting on its back. Moreover, after Xiao San left the densely populated area, he turned into a huge body more than ten zhang high, and flew directly in the air with black flames under his feet.
The speed of such a rush is extremely fast, at least not slower than the high-speed rail of later generations, and the surrounding environment is rapidly regressing backwards, and even blowing gusts of wind. Xiao San's body was shrouded in the flames of hell, and he was not afraid of these strong winds at all, and ran directly in the direction of the snowy mountain.
It was only a few hours later that they came to the foot of the towering snow-capped mountain, and at this time the area where they were was already thousands of meters above sea level. Along the way, whether it is a cliff or a gentle slope of dense forest, it has no effect on Xiao San's speed, and even if it is a cliff perpendicular to the ground, Xiao San flies directly on the ground.
Therefore, with this big dog as a mount, it will be much more convenient to travel in the future, which is fast and windy. And the existence of such a legendary three-headed dog as Hell, there may be only one in the world, which is more enviable than any limited edition sports car. So except for Lu Hanyang, the current owner of Xiaosan, the other passengers are all doing one less time,
Of course, at this time, Lu Hanyang doesn't care about this, he just wants to go back to Datang once soon, and then settle these guys, he is ready to go to Europe and the United States to have a look, the guy in Europe who uses knights as a mark, and the guy who plays in the water in the Americas, Anubis in Africa, if these people hook up together, Lu Hanyang may really feel a headache.
The other two are okay, Lu Hanyang has fought with them, at least he knows their general details. But the one in Europe has not met for so many years, and how far the other party will develop after so long makes Lu Hanyang feel worried.
Of course, what worries Lu Hanyang the most is that he still doesn't know how many people there will be on the other side, after all, the foreign players he has met now already have the Golden Wolf Sacrifice, Black Panther Salazar, Sea King James, Onmyoji Ampei Qingming, Blood Shadow Head Lowering Master, Yellow Sand Pierce, Death God Anubis, and the European knight who has never been masked.
In this way, there are already eight, plus the unlucky ghosts who have inherited the ability from Xuanzang, it is already nine. Of the nine, he killed two and surrendered four, so that only three were left behind. And these three are probably the most intractable enemies. But who knows how many more there will be in the future? As long as these people keep coming, and they have escaped their own search, then I am afraid that I will ......
Thinking that there would be fish that slipped through the net, Lu Hanyang even wanted to go back again and search Africa well, and even India had to sort it out. It's just that he knows that this is unrealistic, no matter how meticulous he searches, it is impossible to find the whole world!
Therefore, there will always be those foreign players who have not been discovered by Lu Hanyang, so as to grow up, and there will be a battle between Lu Hanyang and these players in the future, and only one side can survive in the end. So it's enough to look for it once, and take as much as you can, so that there is always someone who can help you share some of the pressure.
Of course, Lu Hanyang is not afraid that the other party will come to him alone, it will only be to deliver food to himself, but he is afraid that the other party will form a group in groups, so it will be too much of a loss for him to fight alone, otherwise Lu Hanyang will not search for these guys all over the world and take them under his command.
Of course, after Lu Hanyang surrendered these foreign players, he would not be able to obtain the True Yuan reward repeatedly. So it's not easy for him to weigh the pros and cons now, but he doesn't regret it, and his cultivation improvement won't be too slow without a true yuan reward.
Now Datang has brought Lu Hanyang a lot of real yuan ceiling increase every day, at least more than 100 points a day is stable, because the benefits that Lu Hanyang brings to Datang now are obvious, three crops have taken root in Datang, and the benefits of rice have been reflected, and when there was a locust plague last year, the grain in Lingnan has never been transported to the north.
And this year, the potatoes and corn given by Lu Hanyang have also taken root in the land of Guanzhong, and countless corn stalks stand in the fields, and the verdant color makes all the people feel that this is a good crop.
Potatoes, although not amazing, but because of the reason that they do not pick the land and are drought tolerant, they have become the best crops planted by the people of Guanzhong in the mountains.
In this era, the credibility of the royal family is the best guarantee, and all the people chose to trust the imperial court in the process of promoting potatoes and corn in the imperial court. Moreover, in order to encourage the people to plant these new crops, the emperor Li Er also issued a holy decree that the people who planted the new crops would pay 30% less rent than in previous years.
This kind of purpose aroused the enthusiasm of these people, because they believed that no matter what the crop was, as long as it was planted, good crops would always grow, and there were no bad crops, only lazy croppers. This is the most simple idea of the people of the Tang Dynasty, because their ancestors have lived like this for generations, as long as they work hard, the land will not deceive people.
In any case, now that the Tang Dynasty has entered early summer, in addition to the verdant wheat fields in the entire Guanzhong area, the seedlings in the paddy fields near the river have also been budding and ready to be released. On the hillside, countless ridges are piled up, on which some low plants grow.
Potatoes are planted in these mountains, and even here there is almost no way to irrigate, and these potatoes grow very well where God rains. At the foot of the hill there was also a large field of corn, and the corn stalks had risen to the height of a man, and they began to produce corn cobs, and in the middle of the corn stalks, countless tender red whiskers were drawn.
Everything is completely thriving, in this Guanzhong land, hundreds of people with their own labor, in exchange for the green of this land, and in the future harvest, in exchange for a piece of gold.
In this early summer, Lu Hanyang and the others came back and returned from Tianzhu. Directly through the Himalayas, from Tibet all the way to the Central Plains Dynasty.
Of course, in this process, some people in Tibet also found their traces, but they all knelt under the snow-capped mountain, because what they saw was a huge dog with three hideous heads more than ten zhang high and thirty or forty zhang long, and the dog's body was burning with black flames, and after flying over, the snow on the snow-capped mountain was melted a lot.
This is the result of Xiao San's rapid journey, and countless Tibetan people have become the most devout believers after this incident, but they believe not in Buddhism, but in Bon. It is a native highland sect that originated on the plateau. This is the first worship of nature by the children of the snow-capped mountains. In this sect, there are countless gods and goddesses in the entire snowy plateau.
And these countless gods and goddesses blessed all the people on the snow-capped mountains so that they could survive here. So they have to be in awe of the gods and offer their best things to the gods.
Lu Hanyang didn't notice these things, and he didn't have so much magic power to pay attention to the future actions of the Tubo people below, after all, Lu Hanyang couldn't cross time. So he wouldn't know that after Xiao San ran from the plateau, the entire snowy plateau, the Tubo Dynasty, which was originally close to unity, began to split again.
During this period, there was a Ming lord in Tibet, that is, Tubo Zampu Songtsen Gampo. He is only a teenager now, but he is working hard, and even in order to gain the support of Nibhara, the teenager married Princess Nibora, who is already in her thirties. As a result, he was supported by thousands of soldiers from Nibhara, including ten war elephant knights.
Under this method, Songtsen Gampo already had the ability to dominate the plateau, and it seemed that it was about to succeed, but as a result, Bon suddenly flourished, and countless people joined this sect that made the gods infinitely fearful, and continued to burn things with those teachers. At this moment, the vitality of Tubo, which had been accumulated by Songtsen Gampo for several years, was directly burned again.
"Damn these Bon, don't they know that without their fur, the warriors of the plateau will have to endure the cold? Didn't they know that if the excess barley was burned, countless people would starve to death throughout the plateau? Don't they know that the gurus are just deceiving them and sending them step by step to hell? "Songtsen Gampo was furious at this time.
There was no one around, all of them were dismissed by him, after all, he just vented these things, but the content of the vent could not be known to outsiders, after all, this was disrespectful to the Bon master, in this period, the influence of Bon was too great, and one-third of the Tibetan warriors in his army believed in Bon.
However, although what Songtsen Gampo said was very confidential and even blasphemous in the eyes of countless people, there should not be anyone on his side, but there was still a heroic young man by his side who listened to all his complaints, and this person was Lu Dongzan, and together with Songtsen Gampo, he gathered all the warriors of Tibet, and then prepared to dominate the people of the plateau.
This man is so majestic, or on the plateau his wisdom is beyond the vast majority of people, and the eye for people is also very accurate, when Songtsen Gampo was a child, just from his dead father to take over the rights of Zampu, he can see that this young man is not an ordinary person, has great potential.
So from that time on, Lu Dongzan had already put his chips on Songtsen Gampo's body, and now Songtsan Gampo has grown step by step, verifying the correctness of his vision at that time.
"Lord Zampu, please take a break from the wrath of the thunder, this matter is not a simple matter of Bon teaching. The reason for the recent surge in adherents of Bon has been found, which is really unbelievable. Lu Dongzan took a piece of parchment and said, at this time, there was no real paper in Tibet, and it was only after Princess Wencheng entered Tibet that these Chinese civilizations began to grow on the plateau.
"What is the reason why so many people are desperate to join the Bon religion and become accomplices who consume my Tibetan vitality?" Songtsen Gampo asked.
"The reason why these believers joined Bon is to seek the protection of the gods, because they have encountered the devil, the three-headed dog demon on the snowy mountain." Lu Dongzan said.
"What three-headed dog demon on the snowy mountain? Utter nonsense. Songtsen Gampo said, "These are all made up by the Bon people themselves, just to absorb more believers, so that those so-called gurus can become the embodiment of the gods that everyone admires." ”
For these gods of Bon, as well as the Buddha of Buddhism, as the people in power, they are very clear that these are just tricks to deceive people, there are no gods at all, and there are no demons. In the entire snow-capped mountains, these religions are the biggest source of poison for the Tibetan people.
"This time, it's not those Bon masters pretending, it's a real giant demon with three heads." Lu Dongzan said.
"Are there really demons? Why haven't I seen it? "The water-stopping steel plate obviously still doesn't believe it. As the head of a country, the more you know about these demons and monsters, the less you will believe it.
"This time, it's true." Lu Dongzan said, as if he had really seen it.
"Really? Lu Dongzan, even you are confused by them? No, you are one of the few wise men on the plateau, how can you be confused. Songtsen Gampo said, obviously he didn't expect Lu Dongzan to tell him that the three-headed dog demon was real. This kind of thing shouldn't be said by a wise man like Lu Dongzan.
"My Zampu, my subordinates don't want to admit that this matter is true, but from the information gathered, this time there really is a three-headed dog demon." Lu Dongzan said.
"Really? Where did you gather the information from? What you see with your own eyes is true, and there are always discrepancies in the information collected. Songtsen Gampo said, unwilling to admit that this Bon religion suddenly became famous because there really was a big demon.
"This is the information collected by His Majesty, Zampu and look!" It seems that he had long known that Songtsen Gampo would not believe it, and Lu Dongzan took out the information he had gathered at this time, and seemed to have been prepared.
"This is my map of Tibet, and the first place to discover the existence of the three-headed dog Great Demon is the Huojiao Department located in the southwest. This is ......" Lu Dongzan laid down a sheepskin map, and then began to explain, saying that the first place where the three-headed dog demon appeared, visited a stone on it.
"Next, here, then here, and here, and recently there have been rumors of witnessing the Three-Headed Dog Great Demon in the south of Logos. It's here! "One by one, the areas where the information of the Great Demon Sightings came out were marked everywhere by Lu Dongzan.
"This ...... The location of these places is directly connected to the city in a straight line! Songtsen Gampo looked at the map in front of him, and only then did he realize that the place where the great demon appeared was actually in a straight line.
"That's right, it's a straight line, obviously it's not a coincidence, but there really is such a thing, it has been going straight from here, and it has climbed over the mountains and across the big river." Lu Dongzan said.
"This can't be, this must be a conspiracy of Bon! Our domination of the plateau threatens their position, and they are targeting us! "Songtsen Gampo won't believe it, because none of this evidence is enough to confirm it. Moreover, the benefits of Bon are really great, and under the trade-off, Bon's control of the plateau region has reversed the previous decline little by little.
In the past few years, Songtsen Gampo has constantly suppressed and weakened the power of Bon, and even did not hesitate to support Buddhism, in order to suppress this ignorant religion and prevent them from losing the thin vitality of Tibet, after all, this plateau is bitterly cold, whether it is the growth of animals or the harvest of crops, it is not very optimistic.
And if the Bon sect burned some of it desperately, there would be too little left for the Tibetan people on the plateau, and even enough for them to recuperate. Moreover, Songtsen Gampo still has the ambition to dominate the plateau, without a strong army and sufficient food, it is absolutely impossible to achieve his wish, and it is impossible to give up the goal of so many years.
"Then you can only use the last resort, when you were planning these things, you have already prepared the worst means to deal with it, Zampu, do you really want to use it?" After Lu Dongzan saw that Songtsen Gampo listened to his words, he still didn't believe it, so he could only say this to him.
"Yes, we have a last resort, yes, let's turn them directly into Buddhas! Let them, the gurus, really go and meet their gods! Songtsen Gampo's eyes lit up in an instant at this time! He wants to dominate the plateau, he wants to be the greatest Zamp on the plateau, he wants to bring the rich kingdom below to its knees.
Why did the mighty Tibetans need to shrink on the plateau, and why did the Central Plains people who gasped when they went up to the plateau occupy the rich land? Why are the brave plateau warriors only able to eat low-yield barley, while those Datang people can have high-yield wheat, and the taste is countless times better than that of barley.
All this is Songtsen Gampo's doubts from childhood to adulthood, he is not convinced, he wants to let the Tang people in the land below know that there is a more powerful people on the plateau, and they are destined to become the rulers of this world.
Although Songtsen Gampo was young at this time, his ambition was stronger than later, or the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and Songtsen Gampo did not know how ridiculous his ideas were during this period. Although the Tibetan people grew up in a thin air environment such as the plateau, their courage surpassed that of the people in the plains below.
And the people of Datang go to the plateau because of altitude sickness, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, but Datang is not a real weakling, and Tubo is just because of the geographical advantage. If you fight in the plains, the Tubo people will certainly have strong combat effectiveness, but the Tang people will not necessarily lose to the Tubo people because of their better armor and weapons than the Tubo people.
So Songtsen Gampo's idea was nothing more than wishful thinking, but now that he has gotten into the horns of the bull, he won't think of it at all, because he hasn't really lost since he was a child.
"Zampu, if you really make a decision, then your subordinates can only unconditionally obey your orders, but this matter is very important, I hope Zampu will think twice, after all, this kind of thing is trampling on the beliefs of countless people on the plateau!" Lu Dongzan said. He could only say so much, after all, this last resort was too intense.
If the previous support for Buddhism and the suppression of Bon were conventional measures, then the most drastic and tyrannical measures to be implemented next. Directly use the army to suppress the Bon religion and kill those so-called gurus.
But these people have the deepest influence in the hearts of the Tibetan people, and they represent the beliefs of the Tibetan people. Because although this Bon religion has a bad habit of burning good things, those lamas are really wise men of noble character, and they have enlightened countless Tibetan people, so that they do not despair when facing difficulties, but face them with hope.
Such a person is equivalent to the leader of a nation, and if he is killed by the ruler, then the people's trust in the ruler will also be shaken, and the consequences will be very serious.
