When it was almost dawn, Yun Chu saw the strange jade.

This jade stone is far more beautiful than the old monkey described, with a snow-white background inlaid with wisps of gold, exuding a glittering brilliance in the morning light.

If this piece of jade, which is full of 300 catties, is worth a fortune, then the big footprint on the jade that is clearly recognizable and seems to be formed by more jade together has sent this piece of jade, which originally had only economic value, to the peak of spiritual value.

Ding Dayou looked at the jade in fascination, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately sent someone to load the jade into a wooden box, and also vacated the strongest camel in the camel team to carry the jade.

Yun Chu secretly glanced at the old monkey, but found that the old monkey's eyes were shining with a fierce light.

Although he didn't know who the old monkey's ruthless target was, Yun Chu still felt that something was wrong.

Combined with the rumor that the old sheepskin slaughtered the seventy-six monks of the Horseshoe Temple, he asked Ding Dayou in a low voice what the casualties of the battle were.

Ding Dayou laughed heroically and said: "It didn't hurt anyone, a group of old and weak monks, Peng Lei and they broke into the Garan Hall and directly took away this piece of jade and the white jade lotus, which went extremely smoothly." ”

Yun Chu pointed to the jade that had just been boxed and said, "Do Du Wei think that a group of old, weak, sick and disabled monks can really protect such a peerless treasure in this place full of horse thieves?" ”

Ding Dayou pondered for a moment, and then said to the two Guoyi lieutenants beside him: "Pass the order, all the big and small people in the team are organized and trained into the army, and the marching law is controlled, the front scout, the rear drag, and the left and right lookout flanks, all the same." ”

Captain Guo Yi is also a person who has seen jade, and he also thinks that it must be impossible to dedicate this thing to the emperor, so he attaches importance to it and calls these slacking soldiers who are already on the way home to make wartime arrangements.

The old monkey was not annoyed by Yun Chu's reminder of Ding Dayou, but happily watched Naha play with a stick, and rode on a camel with Yun Chu respectively, gossiping without a match.

"Is there really no guard in the Great Temple?"

"How could it not be, these big temples are the same as the Tianzhu Temple, and they all have warrior monks.

The Gion Monastery built for the Buddha by the lonely elders of the country is paved with gold, and it is extremely luxurious.

Do you think such a temple will be a place where everyone can enter and exit? ”

Yun Chu pressed Naha, who was moving wildly on the back of a camel, and said, "So, where have all the warrior monks in the Zhaoli Temple gone?" ”

"I went to the temple across the street."

"Why go back to the temple on the other side of the river, don't they know that the jade of the Buddha's footprints is in the temple on the east side?"

"Nonsense, of course I sent people to the temple on the other side of the river, burned down the warehouse where they stored their grain, and took away the gold, precious stones, and many treasures they had stored for many years."

"Then, you tell Ding Da that there is such a piece of jade in the Great Temple that is enough to make him greedy?"

"Just tell me if I lied to him!"

"No, the problem is that you asked him to carry a big black pot for you."

"You go and ask Ding Dayou, does he care about carrying this pot? What's more, this pot was carried by him for the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, believe it or not, but as long as your emperor knows that there is such a treasure here, he will definitely think about bringing it back to Chang'an. ”

Yun Chu felt that this truth could be explained, and asked: "I always feel that you are a monk, since you are a monk, it should be your basic code of conduct for a monk not to deceive a monk." ”

"I am a monk, but I didn't harm those monks, I took away their food treasures, and I also instigated the Tang people to take away their Buddha's footprints and gems, which is to save them."

Yun Chuhu looked at the old monkey suspiciously and said, "It's too strange for you to say this. ”

The old monkey shook his head and said: "Since there is the Great Temple of East and West Zhaoli, the war here has never subsided, and all the horse thieves know that there are peerless treasures in the temple, and since the establishment of these two temples, the harassment of the horse thieves has never stopped for a moment.

Over the years, just the tragedy I have seen, there have been three subordinates, each of which is tragic and abnormal, do you think that when the Tang people entered the Dongzhao Li Temple, why did they just meet the old, weak, sick and disabled?

That's because now only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left in the temple.

There are few warrior monks left, how long can they hold out? One year, two years, or three years?

If they don't take away the food and treasures, and if they don't take away the footprints of the Buddha that they see as more important than life, there will never be a peaceful day here.

Those who live in the poplar will never have peace.

It is not the original intention of the Buddha to take away the treasure, the Tang people took away the footprints of the Buddha, and the monks of the Zhaoli Temple survived, which is the will of the Buddha.

I use these treasures to save the world, and the Tang people use the Buddha's footprints to glorify the glory of the Buddha, which is the meaning of the existence of treasures and Buddha's footprints. ”

After listening to the old monkey's words, Yun Chu felt that what he said couldn't be more correct, especially when he saw the carload of little boys and little girls that the old monkey bought, he felt that what the old monkey said was even more correct, but he also wanted to contribute to the Buddha.

So he said to the old monkey, "Otherwise, you will also give me some treasures of the Great Temple, and I can use this money to save the world." ”

The old monkey looked at Yun Chu and said seriously: "The Buddha didn't say that. ”

Yun Chu nodded, picked up the bow on the camel and put it in front, and tirelessly tied Naha to his back, and then put a shield on Naha's back.

Not only that, but he also tied the red horse to the camel and placed a cowhide backpack full of food and water on his chest.

The old monkey looked at Yun Chu's fully armed appearance and said, "What are you doing this for?" ”

Yun Chu sighed and said, "A kind person like you must think that those monks in the Zhaoli Great Temple who have lost their food and treasures will be killed in the next attack of the horse thieves.

In order to avoid such cause and effect, judging from your personality, I think you must have spread the news that the treasures of the Zhaoli Temple were taken away by the Tang army all over the Gobi, right? ”

The old monkey nodded without guilt and said: "What you said is not wrong at all, if Tang Jun doesn't kill all those horse thieves, what I did before will be meaningless, and I will have to bear cause and effect."

Since Tang Jun took away the most precious piece of jade in the Zhaoli Temple, then they must bear this cause and effect.

Yun Chu, in short, living in the world is a practice in itself, don't pay too much attention to those details. ”

Yun Chu looked around, but he didn't see the horse thief appear, so he pressed back Naha's little head that had just emerged from behind the shield, and even if the horse thief didn't appear, he still didn't feel safe.

At least, as long as he was with this damn old monkey, he wouldn't get a moment of peace.

The last time he went to the battlefield, it had already caused irreparable damage to his psyche, which would probably take him a lifetime to make amends.

Selema broke with him, He Yuanshan was killed in battle, Liu Xiong was killed in battle, and he lost a lot of relatives and friends in a short time.

All this, Yun Chu felt that the old monkey was responsible for at least half of it, and if this guy appeared there, there would be death and injury.

Once he returned to Chang'an, Yun Chu was ready to cut off this hateful old monkey, otherwise, he would not want to live the beautiful life of an ancient eunuch as he expected.

All of Yun Chu's worries were finally smashed to pieces by Ding Dayou, the super powerful Lieutenant of the Folding Chong Mansion.

Although this lieutenant still has more than 600 men, he still likes to stand at the forefront of the battle with his Mo sword.

Especially after seeing him use the Mo knife to split the bodies of more than a dozen warrior monks who had chased after him on horseback with the Mo knife, Yun Chu once again felt that it would not be a loss to follow such a general and die on the battlefield.

He didn't even listen to the warrior monks, although Yun Chu felt that these warrior monks might not have malicious intent, but when Ding Dayou swung his heavy Mo knife and rushed forward like a brute bull, Yun Chu still saw the beauty of the falling cherry blossoms from the stumps and broken arms flying in the sky.

"Blocker, slash!"

Ding Dayou Mo knife swung forward, and after dancing a remnant, the two-foot-long handle of the Mo knife fell to the ground heavily, even the flying gravel was full of the majesty of the Tang army.

The only two remaining warrior monks tried to escape, but they were chased by two high-blooded Captain Guoyi and stabbed to death with a horse lance.

I don't know what those warrior monks from the Zhaoli Temple think, they want to get back what belongs to them from the Tang Army, unless you kill them all and take them from the corpse yourself, otherwise, the footprints of the Buddha are Tang Jun's.

Rough, brutal, cruel, powerful, fearless, there are not many words to describe the Tang Army, and there are almost no that belong to the praise of the word.

However, being protected by such a group of people who are not good people always makes those who are protected feel safe.

Therefore, Naha was released from behind by Yun Chu, and she was allowed to jump around on the camel on the camel team.

This is Yun Chu's greatest respect for Ding Da.

The caravan gradually moved away from the Tien Shan Mountains and into the flat but pebble Gobi Desert.

Here, the most common are camel thorns one after another, and small lizards scurrying on the sand, the air enters the mouth as rough as gravel, and small tornadoes appear on the flat ground, they appear like spies in the field of vision, and before people can look at each other, they quickly disappear.

Naha curled up in Yun Chu's arms and fell asleep, her little face flushed and covered with beads of sweat, seeing that the child kept pursing the corners of her mouth.

Yun Chu took out his silver kettle, wrapped it in a wet linen cloth, and kept shaking the kettle.

It didn't take long for the moisture from the wet linen cloth to evaporate and dry, and the water in the kettle was just cold and delicious.
