A Zen master holding a golden wheel, a palace maid holding a white butter lotus in her hand, a column of attendants holding gorgeous Dharma covers, cavalrymen with scimitars at their waists, musicians playing conches and huqin... A large and holy procession escorted the Emperor and the Empress Dowager out of the palace and out of the imperial city.

The entire Quicksand City never sleeps.

All those who learned the news spread the news as quickly as possible, and almost all of them washed up as quickly as they could, put on their own costumes, and walked out solemnly.

Even some old people who were too old to move, supported by their children and grandchildren, gathered on the avenue from the imperial city to the outside of the city, and personally sent off their beloved queen mother.

In this sweltering night, the people who saw them off formed two long queues, and the oil lamps they held in their hands were shining all the way, as if they were burning to the sky.

Many people began to chant sutras, peacefully and serenely.

Tang Tibet has been short of water since ancient times, but it was born from the fissure springs in the earth and stretched in the territory of Tang Tibet, and the holy river of Wanquan on which Tang Tibet relied for its survival has been drying up day by day since a hundred years ago.

This is the heavens, many tribes in Tang and Tibet began to move westward, and then they were occupied by the fifteen tribes of Xiyi in the fertile land of water and grass, under the internal and external difficulties, the people's hearts were scattered, and rebellions and wars occurred year after year.

A real locust plague befell Tang Zang again, and the newborns died of starvation.

In the following three months, there was no rain, just when all the Tang and Tibetan soldiers and civilians thought that the sky would destroy Tang and Tibet, the holy woman wearing a Zen robe crossed the Red Scorpion Desert barefoot and became the queen of Tang and Tibet.

The queen prayed to the heavens, calmed the wrath of the heavens, and was exposed to the sun on the high platform for three days, and the sky rained heavily, and the people were at ease.

In the past few decades, the queen has personally conquered several times, pacified the Quartet, and ordered the army to find water sources, and planted plants and trees at the source of Wanquan Tianhe to consolidate the water and soil.

When the first emperor died a few years ago, the queen quelled the rebellion of the three relatives and five tribes, and put the young Emperor Fengxuan on the throne.

Now the ancient Tang and Tibetan countries are harmonious, Vientiane is renewed, and Kyoto Quicksand City is almost closed at night, but the queen who has been a citizen all her life and has become the queen mother is tired, but she is leaving.

In the chariot, the queen mother, who had been replaced by prosperity and changed into an old yellow Zen robe, was unable to get up, but she still asked several personal maids to give five-colored silk meaning auspicious and safe along the way to thank the people for their send-off.

She thought of the starvation and bones all over the place when she walked through the desert and walked here, and when she saw the glorious cage fires on both sides of the road at this moment, the glow on her face was even stronger, and the hand holding Emperor Fengxuan increased her strength slightly, and she smiled heartily: "Child... You must always understand that death is like a lamp going out, no matter how big the country is, no matter how big the palace, when we sleep peacefully at night, we only need a place to stay, close our eyes, and this world will be extinguished in our eyes, and the eternity will be extinguished. Man is not born to bring a thing, death turns to dust, and he cannot take anything with him. In this world, there is nothing more meaningful than living in the hearts of others with joy. The name is false, but their love, their joy, you look at them and rejoice, but this is true. ”

Emperor Fengxuan looked at his mother's face, looked at the brilliance on her face, and then looked at the crowd that spontaneously sent him off, he understood a lot of things again, he knew that this was the meaning of his mother's life, he nodded again, and said, "The child understands." ”

......

Just as Tang Zang's group left Quicksand City and began to pass through the Red Scorpion Desert as fast as possible, a man in an ordinary green cloth shirt walked into the Biluo Border Guanshu City and walked towards the deep alley that had killed dozens of Yun Qin cultivators.

His ink is as thick as ink, his lips are as red as brocade, his body is like iron, and the lines on his face are indescribably cold and resolute.

Behind him was a silent archer with a vermilion steel longbow on his back, in his forties, with no expression on his flat face, and the vermilion steel longbow on his body was covered with spark-like runes, and the bow was exceptionally long.

Wen Ren Cangyue walked into the deep alley with an expressionless face, walked slowly, the deep alley was already empty, and after staying in front of a few high pavilions for a while, he walked to the earthen wall hut where Cheng Xiangyi was that day.

The earthen wall hut has been cleared out, and Cheng Xiangyi's body has been examined and buried, but the two severed swords are lying quietly in the dust, waiting for the arrival of General Wenren.

He looked at the time of the two severed swords, and then walked all the way forward, zigzagging through the deep alleys, and walked into the small courtyard that originally belonged to Luo Li, the head of the Department of Internal Affairs.

The small courtyard has also been cleared, but there is a deep arrow hole left in the ground.

"This is the Saint Master cultivator who has just been able to completely control the flying sword, and she has killed so many people, and under your combined blow, she has already suffered heavy injuries... And judging from her march, she is not a cultivator of Tang Tibet, nor is she a cultivator of the south. Wenren Cangyue looked at the fiery red maple tree that was only one left, and suddenly said expressionlessly: "At such an age, such a means... And he didn't know it, and the ghost disappeared unconsciously, and he also let Nanshan Dusk's order be conveyed, and thousands of soldiers were gone, and it was only possible to do so with people and orders who could use the emperor. ”

The silent archer remained silent.

He knew that he should remain silent, because General Wen Daren was only saying it to him, and because the ghost military division was not there, he wanted to tell people, but he was only missing the object.

Wen Ren's gaze stayed on the wall of this small courtyard.

He knew everything about Nanshan Dusk, and he knew that Nanshan Twilight jumped over this wall that day, just to drag Luo Li to die together, but in this place, there would be a Saint Master-level cultivator!

"Zhou Shoufu... I thought you just didn't want me to become one of the Nine Elders, but I didn't expect that you would have already prepared such a powerful cultivator and would already be ready to deal with me. You really don't even have compassion for my great achievements in pacifying the west side for so many years!"

Wenren Cangyue didn't know that even the emperor and the eldest princess were still in the dark at this moment, and others didn't know that the ghost military master was not just his loyal subordinate, but also a friend he knew when he was young and frivolous, if he still had a real friend in this world, then this person could only be the ghost military master.

Wenren Cangyue slowly raised her head and looked at the sky.

He wanted to poke a hole in the day.

......

A bald-headed monk in a bronze Zen robe stands silently on top of a sand dune.

He folded his hands, and beside him was a Ugin staff as tall as he was stuck in the sand.

There are runes like ancient characters on the Zen staff, such as nine gold rings embedded in the head of the lotus stick.

The scorching sun shone on his body, the heat on the ground rose, and the air twisted like a sea of fire, but he was indifferent and just looked into the distance.

His figure doesn't look tall, but every muscle on his body is as high as a rock, looking amazingly strong, giving people a sense of groundbreaking strength, there is not a drop of sweat on his body, but it is faintly shining with a layer of golden light.

The string of beads hanging from his chest was made of some kind of golden wood, each of which was the size of a child's fist, which made him look indescribably majestic and holy.

I don't know how long he stood like this, but there was a real meteorite in the sky that fell into the vast desert sand sea in front of him, and the ground shook, and many red scorpions crawled out, the big ones were the size of palms, but he was still like a god, motionless.

After a long time, a line appeared in the direction he calmly watched.

This column, which was already all dragged by light chariots, was the team of Emperor Fengxuan and the Empress Dowager of Tang Zang.

Seeing the procession getting closer and closer, the monk didn't say a word, just turned around and began to lead the way.

He was barefoot, and he didn't seem to walk fast, but the chariot behind him, which was dragged by horses in turn, never overtook him, and was always a thousand paces away from him.

And where he walked, the thick yellow sand was blown away by a soft aura emanating from his body, and under the thick yellow sand, like a miracle, a yellow brick ancient road was revealed.

The convoy moved forward on the Yellow Brick Road, getting smoother and smoother.

All the people in this column, except for the queen mother's face, which was more radiant and more peaceful, the rest of the people looked at the back of the barefoot monk in front of them, and they were all indescribably shocked and shocked.

In front of the monk was still a sea of sand, and a large mountain vaguely appeared.

The monk walked towards the mountain.

Even though the emperor and the empress dowager were in the ranks, many people in this column still let out irrepressible exclamations of distraction at the moment they saw the "big mountain", and their bodies trembled violently as if they had been pricked by needles.

It was not a mountain, but three Buddhas half-buried in the hills, majestic and solemn to the point of unimaginable.

One of them lost his head, one of them had two broken arms, and only one was intact, but the bodies of the three were also covered with several huge cracks and some deep slashes.

These three Buddhas have obviously gone through countless unknowable years, but they are as tall as the sky, tall and solemn to this unimaginable level, so that anyone who sees them will tremble and cannot help themselves. People don't know at all, and they can't figure out how it is possible to carve such a huge giant Buddha with manpower.

It's a miracle that is unimaginable.

"This is what my mother used to call the Buddha of Prajna?"

Looking at the three big Buddhas buried in the yellow sand whose clothes were wrinkled than a train captain, looking at this miracle, after several days of arduous trekking, Emperor Fengxuan, who was covered with dust and scorched black, also had a blank brain, and only felt that he was extremely small under this vast world and giant Buddha.

Before the monk walked past the three Buddhas, the yellow sand under his feet floated, revealing a wide and broken staircase.

Behind this big Buddha, there is a deep ravine, a huge canyon.

Some of the golden Buddha halls have their roofs slightly above the horizon, built in the deep canyons.

"Stop. ”

At this moment, what made everyone in the team tremble again and couldn't help themselves, and all of them bowed down was that the queen mother, who was already seriously ill and bedridden, actually stood up by herself.

"Accompany me on this last journey. ”

A faint golden glow shone from her body, making her body, even old and haggard, glow with holiness, like the burning of the last wick of a ghee lamp.

She held Emperor Fengxuan's hand, and with an unquestionable look and tone, she asked Emperor Fengxuan to support her, follow behind the monk, and walk step by step.
