Yang Shouwen never expected that the famous and surprising yellow-bearded leader of Anxi would be a woman!

However, he still maintained a calm complexion, and stuck the nine-ring tin staff upside down on the ground beside him, clasping his hands together and bowing slightly.

"The poor monk summoned the opportunity to come from the East and want to follow the example of Master Sanzang to go to the West to seek the Dharma.

Passing through this place, so stay here. What does it mean to dare to ask the donor to come and try to besiege the poor monks? ”

"Are you a disciple of Buddhism?"

"Exactly."

"What scriptures do you recite and what methods do you cultivate?"

The yellow-bearded leader seemed to be very interested in the disciples of Buddhism, so he asked.

But Yang Shouwen knew that if he answered wrong, he might cause death.

So, he put his hands together and said: "The poor monk is foolish, he can recite the "Ranga Sutra", and he can recite the Buddha Zen. ”

"Oh? What kind of Buddha is that? ”

"Very deep Prajna, one line of samadhi, who is the one who recites the Buddha?"

Yang Shouwen's Buddhist scriptures in the past half a year are not plain to see.

Not to mention anything else, as a disciple of Shenxiu, he can still be catchy and resist all the points of this Dongshan Method.

The leader of the yellow-bearded man said: "It turns out that you have cultivated the Dongshan Buddha. ”

"Exactly."

"Monk, then let me ask you, have you ever seen a caravan from Wolf Mountain when you came from Yumen Pass?"

Yang Shouwen replied: "What the donor is talking about, but is there a caravan named Ba Simiaji? ”

"Exactly."

"The poor monk has seen it...... When he was at the Yumen Pass, he invited the poor monks to go out with him. However, after leaving the customs, the poor monk parted ways with him. ”

"Why?"

"When the poor monk came out of the customs, he felt that the benefactor seemed to be taking advantage of the poor monk.

He didn't know what was hidden in his convoy. Perhaps General Geshu, who knew about Yumen Pass, liked poetry, and at that time, the poor monk saw the scenery of Yumen Pass, and on a whim, he wrote a poem, which was valued by General Geshu. There is no embarrassment for the poor monks.

Monks travel far and wide, and what they do is the supreme Dharma.

The poor monk did not want to stir up trouble, so when he realized that he was being used, he separated from the Bathi Secret benefactor. Take these three apprentices on the road. Along the way, he never saw the Bathi Mishi again, so it is estimated that he had gone the other way. ”

Yang Shouwen talked eloquently, with a calm expression.

The Yellowbeard Leader looked at him, then swept his gaze away from the three of them.

"Great monk. The road to the west is not safe...... I've heard people say that there is a book among you called "Journey to the West". To paraphrase the book, there are many demons and monsters on this westward journey, aren't you afraid of dying on this westward journey? ”

"If you get the supreme law, you have to cherish this body?"

"The great monk is really a Buddha with a firm heart, since this is the case, then I wish you success in your westward journey, and you can obtain the supreme Dharma that you are pursuing."

As he spoke, Yellowbeard raised his hand. threw an object and landed in front of Yang Shouwen.

"With this sign, if there is danger, it may be able to save your life."

After saying that, the yellow-bearded leader turned his horse's head and left.

The sound of the flute sounded again, followed by the whistle, and the horse thieves roared, and in the blink of an eye they whistled away, leaving only a sky full of smoke and dust.

Seeing the yellow beard leave, Yang Shouwen only felt that his legs were weak. Almost sat on the ground.

Don't look at the calm and unhurried behavior he showed just now, but after seeing the identity of the other party clearly, he was quite nervous in his heart.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I didn't expect these yellow beards. It is actually a believer in Allah. ”

"Huh?"

"Don't you see the beads around her neck? The knotting method is unique to Allah believers...... I didn't expect that in this land of the Western Regions, there are still believers in Allah? Could it be that the Da Yu people have already infiltrated the Western Regions? ”

Every religion has its own unique style of flowing beads.

The flowing beads of Buddhist disciples are called rosary beads, the beads of Taoist disciples. It is called a flowing bead.

It is said that this Buddhist prayer bead still comes from the Taoist beads...... In addition, Allah also wears a unique pattern of beads, which at first glance look similar to those of Taoists and Buddhists, but if you look closely, you can still see the difference.

In 661 AD, the Syrian satrap of the Umayyad family succeeded to the caliphate and established the Umayyad dynasty with Damascus as its capital. It was also from that time that the caliphate was transformed from the original election to hereditary, so that the ******** and Allah religion began a large-scale military expansion, and the momentum became more and more powerful.

Because the banner of the Umayyad family is white, in Chinese history, the Umayyad Dynasty is also called the White Clothes Dynasty.

At this time, the white-clothed Dashi was also called the white-clothed Dayu, and after occupying Persia, he confronted the Tang Dynasty with the Wuhu River as the boundary, and Chen Bing.

Anxi, on the other hand, is dominated by Buddhism and many primitive religions.

At least in Xiaoluantai's intelligence, it is recorded like this. Unexpectedly, the famous yellow-bearded man was actually a believer in Allah. This also shows that the white-clothed Dawei has begun to infiltrate Anxi and has begun to bear fruit.

Mingxiu and Yang Cunzhong obviously did not know much about Allah.

It is no wonder that Yang Cunzhong was born in Fang City and can be said to have always grown up in Luoyang; Mingxiu was born and practiced Taoism, and may have an understanding of Buddhists, but he is obviously not very clear about other religious beliefs, let alone understood.

In contrast, Yang Sixteen's understanding of Allah is obviously more profound.

When he heard Yang Shouwen's words, he couldn't help but say, "Ah Lang actually knows Allah?" ”

"Nonsense."

Yang Shouwen glared at Yang Sixteen and said softly, "Yellowbeard is a believer in Allah, why didn't you tell me before?" ”

Yang Sixteen's head shook like a rattle, "I don't know!"

I only heard that yellow beards were rampant, but I didn't know that they were believers in Allah. However, it seems not impossible to think about it, the first time the yellow beard appeared was in the Kangguo area. In the Kangguo area, however, there are some believers in Allah. ”

Yang Shouwen listened, and couldn't help but cry out in his heart.

Wu Zetian asked him to come to find someone, thinking that it was not a very difficult thing.

But now it seems that this Anxi region is probably more chaotic than he imagined. There are not only contradictions and conflicts between various ethnic groups, but also contradictions and conflicts between religions. If you want to complete Wu Zetian's task, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. Moreover, the disappearance of Jeddah is also related to this religion? Why did he disappear?

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Shouwen not only felt a big head.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The road ahead is full of unknowns and dangers.

But for Yang Shouwen and them, now that they have come here, there is no other way to retreat but to continue.

After resting for the night on the banks of the Liugu River, they continued their journey the next day.

The climate in Anxi is getting hotter and hotter.

The temperature in the Gobi is even more different from day and night.

During the day, it seems to be holding a stove, and at night, it wants to hold a stove.

It was in this alternating environment of cold and summer that Yang Shouwen and the four of them traveled all the way west, and after crossing Jinshan, they entered the territory of Tingzhou.

Tingzhou, that is, the Urumqi area in later generations.

After entering Tingzhou, Yang Shouwen obviously felt some differences.

Compared with the empty Gobi Desert in Guazhou and Yizhou, Tingzhou is obviously much more lively.

It ruled only three counties, and was originally connected to Gaochang. In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, Tang destroyed Gaochang and established Tingzhou. It connects Yizhou in the east, Gongyue City in the west, and Xiaye River in the west, and is also an important military town of the Tang Empire in the area north of the Tianshan Mountains.

In the first year of civilization, that is, in the fourth year of 684 AD, the Tang Dynasty set up the Han Navy here.

As a result, Tingzhou has evolved into a very important trade hub on the Silk Road, and at the same time, it is also responsible for the control of the ten tribes of the Western Turks, as well as the prevention and control of ethnic minorities such as the Turks and Jiankun, which is of great strategic significance.

The road has become much smoother, and the Hu merchants on the road have also become more frequent.

Here, there is a strong exotic atmosphere.

Even those Buddhist temples are not the same as the temples in the Central Plains, in the shape of a hollow character, all over Tingzhou......

Since the establishment of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, the number of patrols traveling to and from the official road of Tingzhou has also increased a lot.

After Yang Shouwen and his entourage entered Tingzhou, they also encountered many interrogations.

Fortunately, their degree is real, and there are customs clearance seals along the way. In addition, the Western Regions itself is a place of worshipping Buddha, and the status of monks is relatively high. Therefore, although they were interrogated, they did not encounter difficulties.

A few days later, Yang Shouwen and his party bypassed Jinmancheng and came to the outside of the city.

This six cities are actually a small town.

However, because the six cities are located in the northwest of Jinman, it is an extremely important pass, and soldiers and horses are stationed, so it has a lot of fame.

Yang Shouwen's trip to the six cities has a very clear purpose.

Gai Jiayun once told him that after arriving in the six cities, if he found a person named Ma Wei, he could get in touch with him......
