Chapter 1314: Witnessing in Person (I)

"Envoy Wang, Xuanzang is my friend, he just came back from Tianzhu two years ago, and he also received the hospitality of the King of the Ring Sun, but I didn't expect that in just two years, the King of the Ring of the Sun died, and the North Tianzhu was also in a mess." After Li Xiu sat down, he smiled and mentioned Xuanzang's matter to Wang Xuance, which can be regarded as opening the topic.

"Master Xuanzang and I are also old acquaintances, when I first went to Tianzhu, I saw him in Tianzhu, but I had something to do at that time, and I couldn't talk to Master Xuanzang in detail, I heard that he has come back, I don't know if it's okay now?" Wang Xuance also smiled at this time and said, when he first sent an envoy to Tianzhu, Xuanzang was already a famous archmage in Tianzhu, and he had also visited each other for this reason.

"Xuanzang is now going to Luoyang's hometown to translate Buddhist scriptures, and I haven't seen him for a long time, but the royal envoy destroyed the Northern Tianzhu with the power of one person this time, and His Majesty was also very surprised when he heard it, this time the royal envoy returned to Beijing, and His Majesty will definitely reward him!" Li Xiu immediately turned the topic to Wang Xuance.

"Guogong is serious, and Xia Guan just did what he should do, after all, Xia Guan is an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, so he naturally wants to maintain the majesty of the Tang Dynasty!" Wang Xuance was also very modest at this time, but he was obviously a little nervous when facing Li Xiu, and he lost some sense of proportion in his words, after all, destroying other people's countries is not what envoys should do.

"Envoy Wang, I heard Xuanzang say that the customs and customs of Tianzhu are completely different from my Tang Dynasty, and there are many strange people and strange things, I wonder if the envoy Wang has encountered it in Tianzhu?" Li Xiu asked with a smile again at this time.

As soon as Li Xiu's words came out, he saw Jiang Shiren next to him immediately open his mouth and said with a happy face: "What the horse said is good, there are really a lot of strange people and strange things in Tianzhu, such as they grab food with their hands, and there are prostitutes in the temple, but the most bizarre thing is that they have a monk over there, it is said that there are a lot of strange skills, for example, we caught a monk, who can be buried alive for three days without dying, which is very magical." ”

Wang Xuance was still very cautious about the affairs of the monk, but when he saw that Jiang Shiren said it first, he didn't dare to hide it anymore, and he also said at the moment: "Brother Shiren is right, we caught a monk who was named a national teacher by Tianzhu, I didn't believe that he had any real skills, but I didn't expect to bury him alive for three days, and then dig it out and still be alive." ”

"Yes, we originally wanted to dedicate him to His Majesty, but we were worried that this monk would be fake, so on the way back, we locked him in a box that we made ourselves, and it has been two months now, and I don't know if he is dead or alive?" Jiang Shiren is a rectum, and he told all the things about his mother-in-law at once.

"Oh? There is such a thing, I wonder if I can meet this mother-in-law? Li Xiu couldn't help but show an interested expression when he heard this, he had heard of live burial in his later life, it is said that the practice of yoga to an extremely advanced level can make the human body enter a state of suspended animation, and can live for a long time without eating or drinking in a sealed environment, and it is even said that a person has been buried alive for twenty years, and he is still alive after being dug up, and his appearance is also stuck in the state of twenty years ago.

"We originally wanted to open it today to see if that monk is really alive, and it is naturally our honor that Guogong is interested in watching together!" Wang Xuance also stood up at this time and said with a smile, since Li Xiu wanted to see it, he naturally would not refuse.

"Great, then please lead the way, envoy Wang, let's go see if this monk is really alive?" Li Xiu also stood up and said at the moment, he had only heard of the live burial technique in his previous life, but he had never seen it.

At that moment, Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren led the way, and Li Xiu also followed them to a small courtyard, which was the residence of Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren, because they were worried that others would move this box, so they took this box to the courtyard where they lived, and there were also a few soldiers to guard it.

"Lift the box down!" At that moment, Wang Xuance instructed a few guards, and then these soldiers jumped into the car, and several people worked together to lift this heavy wooden box down, only to see that this box was wrapped three or four times by iron chains, and there were seals on it, and this box was also very special, it was directly cut off with a huge tree trunk, and then hollowed out the box made in the middle, and even the interface between the lid and the box, and the gap was sealed with fire paint, which can be said to be tightly sealed, as long as ordinary people are locked in, let alone two months, I'm afraid I can suffocate someone to death in half an hour.

"Guogong, do you want to check this box, the seal on it was put on by me two months ago, and there is a date on it." Wang Xuance was probably worried that Li Xiu would not believe it, so he asked him for instructions again.

"No, I trust the king's envoys!" Li Xiu smiled again at this time, in fact, when the box was lifted down just now, he had already seen the date on the seal, it was indeed two months ago, and the color of the seal was very old, definitely not like it was newly pasted.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Wang Xuance couldn't help but feel excited, he was not valued when he was in Chang'an before, otherwise he would not have been sent to Tianzhu as far away as an envoy, but he didn't expect that the famous prince in front of him would value himself so much, which made him feel a little bit of knowledge.

At that moment, Wang Xuance took out the key from his arms, first opened the chain on the box, and then opened the lock on the box, then removed the seal, and used a knife to cut the fire paint on the lid of the box.

"Guogong, will you open it now?" After making preparations, Wang Xuance turned his head to look at Li Xiu and asked again.

"Open it!" Li Xiu also nodded at the moment, and even took a few steps forward curiously, but the guards around him were worried about his safety, so they suddenly blocked in front of him, which made Li Xiu a little helpless.

"Open!" At that moment, Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren grabbed the handle on the lid of the box, roared together, and lifted the heavy lid at the moment, Li Xiu also stretched his neck curiously to look into the box, but he didn't expect a foul smell to come to his face, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, almost vomiting out his lunch.

"Why does it stink so much, could it be that the people inside have become rotting corpses?" Li Xiu retreated to the distance and took a few breaths of fresh air, and then asked Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren with a frown.

Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren were standing by the box, and they were naturally smoked, but the two of them did not show too surprised expressions, but explained to Li Xiu with a smile: "Guogong doesn't know, this Po Mei is an ascetic, they can't take a bath after practicing, and they have to smear the ashes on their bodies, this Po Mei is the best among them, it is said that they have not taken a bath since they were born, and the smell on their bodies is naturally a little disgusting." ”

Li Xiu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he remembered that in later generations, there seemed to be such people in India, using all kinds of methods that were unbearable for ordinary people to carry out so-called cultivation, such as a guy who raised his hand and didn't put it down for more than ten years, but in the end his arm couldn't be put down, and it was also a very common means not to take a bath and wipe ashes.

The monk was already very stinky, and he was stuffed in the box for two months, so it was naturally even more stinky, but after a while, the smell in the box seemed to be smaller, and Li Xiu leaned over again, and found that there was indeed a monk sitting cross-legged in the box, with his hair and beard in a mess, and his body was draped with a piece of linen, and the exposed arms, neck, etc. were coated with some white powder, thinking of Wang Xuance's words just now, it is estimated that these powders are human ashes, which made him feel a little disgusting.

"Hey, he'...... He must be dead, right? Li Xiu looked at this moment for a moment, and then asked with some uncertainty, only to see that the whole monk had dried up and shrunk, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and he really didn't look like a living person.

"Guogong doesn't know, last time we buried him alive and dug him up, he was like this, but as long as he poured some water, he could come back to life!" Wang Xuance spoke again at this time, and after speaking, the conductor carried Po Mei out and asked people to prepare water, and Li Xiu also looked at this Po Mei with interest at this time, wondering if he could really come back to life?
