Chapter 18 is expected and unexpected
In the Tang Dynasty, it was actually quite easy to preach, because the spiritual world of the people at this time was very empty, and the grass-headed god that the indigenous people believed in was not at all the opponent of the big religious schools that were organized, disciplined, content, methodical, and rich.
Obviously, after Naha's approach, people will feel that Buddhism is very advanced, and Gaochang itself is a place where Buddhism flourishes.
Naha showed all kinds of miracles again, and also entertained the believers to eat a porridge made of various beans with some grain and straw offered by the believers.
Once again, the status of Buddhism in Gaochang has been elevated.
The prisoners who were imprisoned by Zhang Dongguan and then released by Naha's order have long since become Naha's fanatical followers.
During the time when Zhang Donghai controlled Gaochangsai, the people they knew were killed one by one, their homes were raided one by one, and when they were in prison, everyone was actually desperate.
Falling into the hands of the Hundred Riders, there is no reason to live.
But at this time, a holy girl holding a lotus flower saw their tragic situation, and with a word, they were able to see the light of day and escape.
Such a good saint, such a good Buddha, there is no reason not to worship, and there is no reason not to worship it.
"I knew that Naha was more effective than you, and when I went to Jiaohe City, I should have begged Naha instead of looking for you."
Consciously escaped from the square square, and when he talked to Yun Chu again, he was a little less servile and a little more scoundrel in the past.
"What is the origin of this Hokke Master?" Wen Rou was already a little anxious, he always thought that Master Fahua was a great monk, he never thought that people would have other ways, and as soon as he made a move, he scared Zhang Donghai, a guy who can act wantonly in the Western Regions, into peeing his pants.
I can't even care about such a big thing as collecting money for the emperor.
In the evening, Naha, who had worked hard all day, returned to the room weakly, and took a good bath under the service of the newly acquired maid, and before her hair was dry, she came to Yun Chu's room to eat.
"Do you know the origin of Master Hokke?"
"He is a very old monk, one day Master Xuanzang went to Qujiang Palace to see the queen, he brought this old monk here, and asked me to listen to his arrangements along the way, I didn't like him always had a gloomy face, but Li Hong told me that with Master Fahua here, I can do whatever I want in the Western Regions."
Yun Chu listened to Naha's words, choked and coughed, put down the rice bowl in his hand and said, "Tell me if there is such a thing in the future."
Naha hugged the rice bowl and said, "He's just an old monk who doesn't like to talk, what do you say he's doing?"
Yun Chu originally wanted to explain the key to Naha, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was unnecessary, maybe that scheming woman liked Naha's innocence.
She can forgive Naha for her unintentional mistakes, if Naha becomes smart one day, maybe she will face Naha with a different attitude, if so, it will be bad.
Wu Mei is very ruthless to men, and she doesn't treat women who don't deal with them as human beings at all.
Other people's affairs may be spread by falsehood, but Jin Yuji's affairs are what he has seen with his own eyes.
A woman as beautiful as a flower, who was tortured into a skeleton by her words.
The westward journey of Buddhism is a plan launched by the emperor, empress, and Xuanzang many years ago, and when it comes to priority, it must be on top of the task that Zhang Donghai and they are carrying.
As a key figure in the westward journey of Buddhism, Master Fahua must have a lot of power in his hands, and may even be the first decision-maker of the emperor and empress in the Western Regions.
Otherwise, a person like Zhang Donghai, who has experienced the battlefield of flesh and blood, will not be scared like that.
The political significance of Buddhism's westward journey is to create a basic reason for the Western Regions to be accepted by the Tang Dynasty.
It's a big game.
It seems that Li Zhi began to prepare for the state and county of the Western Regions.
Thinking of this, Yun Chu began to be angry with Pei Xingjian again, what is called eating, drinking, calm, and harmonious
Just deal with the affairs of the Western Regions?
This is clearly the emperor's clear instruction that he cannot do whatever he wants in the Western Regions in the future, and that unity and stability must be the first element.
He knew it clearly, but he didn't tell Yun Chu that he was gentle with them, maybe he was still secretly happy, waiting for Yun Chu and them to use extremely brutal means to make money in the Western Regions.
"None of them are reliable," Yun Chu sipped tea and told Gentle about his discovery.
Wen Rou didn't seem to be surprised by Yun Chu's discovery at all, and cleaned up the paperwork on the table and said, "Then hurry up, don't go around in Xizhou, we have to go west immediately, follow Pei Xingjian's footsteps and rush to Qiuzi as soon as possible."
"Why don't you scavenge the Gochang Stop?"
"After the raid, there are many people who are willing to follow us to do business, and with Naha here, the merchants of Gaochang Seri are also willing to follow the west."
Yun Chu looked left and right, and when he didn't see Zhong Kui, he smiled and said, "Old Zhong is so reluctant to show up after being hit?"
"No, he is writing a letter to Li Chunfeng, hoping that Li Chunfeng can move the old immortals and find some Taoist priests who know how to heal and enter the Western Regions to preach with medical skills
lest the people of the Western Regions be tossed to death by Naha and her group of liars, he also said that today Naha also used the decoction prescription he got from the old gods to let the monks treat the people
In addition, after Naha arrives in Qiuzi, she will also recruit a large number of dancers and musicians, and prepare to reorganize the "Twelve Parts of Music" of Buddhism, turning Buddhism into music, singing and dancing, so that more people can feel the greatness of the Buddha."
Yun Chu looked at it and said gently, "This is Naha's idea?"
Gentle and said with a normal face, "Whether Naha came up with it or not, it's Naha's merit."
Speaking of this, Gentleness suddenly became excited again, and pointed his finger on the table and shouted, "We can be said to have worked hard and lonely all these years, right?"
Yun Chu nodded and said, "Doing our best, after death, it is not enough to describe the hard work we poured into Chang'an."
Gentle and smiling, "Now, your Naha is really going to become the Buddha Lord of the Western Regions, don't you feel frustrated?"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "I'm happy to see it happen."
Gentle also felt that it was unreasonable for her to be angry, and rubbed the stubble that had just grown on her chin and said, "It's really unreasonable."
On the second day of the first month of October, Yunchu's brigade left Gaochangsai, trampled on the dry white grass, and went all the way to the west, heading straight to Qiuci and Khotan.
When there is no wind in the Western Regions, riding on the back of a camel is actually a pleasure, and the camel raises its head high when it advances, and it walks with great rhythm.
The camel's back is much wider than that of a war horse, and with the addition of the camel's saddle, a platform appears on the camel's back.
Three people can ride on one platform, and some people from the Western Regions can even sit on this small platform and play the piano and sing songs to pass the boring time on the journey.
The land of the Western Regions is the same as the land of Longzhong, it is all broken, but because of the huge land in the Western Regions, the degree of fragmentation here is far less than that of Longzhong, and the ravines are not as dense as Longzhong.
There are some flat lands that make people want to sleep here, and the sound of camel bells has become a music that shakes the soul.
Leaving the Flaming Mountain, there are more withered plants and trees on the earth, and on the edge of some waterways, you can even see large areas of poplar forests, red willow forests, and sand date groves.
The further west you go, the taller trees grow, and you can even see large pine forests on the edge of the snow-capped mountains that stretch across the horizon.
"Ahh
However, the content is always the same, either the legendary gods and demons bless the people safely, or the clear spring on the oasis nourishes his heart, or how many beautiful girls he has slept, the last second he is still thinking about the girl in the distance, and the next second he sees his intended person.
Just when Yun Chu was drowsy when he heard it, and when he wanted to slash people violently, three black dots suddenly appeared on the horizon.
Behind these three black dots, follow
The scouts they sent out at the beginning of the cloud seemed to be very nervous, afraid to approach the three black spots, and seemed reluctant to stay away, looking strange.
After the three black dots slowly approached the caravan, Gentle saw the things on the other side clearly, and roared, "I knew it was like this!"
Even Yun Chu, a native of the Western Regions, couldn't close his mouth anymore after seeing the three black dots slowly turn into three white white camels.
Yun Chu knew how dirty and smelly the camel was, but the appearance of the big two and three white camels in front of him completely overturned Yun Chu's cognition of camels.
These three white camels don't have a single stray hair on their bodies, which Yun Chu admits, but Yun Chu can't even find a mustard on the three white camels, so he can't understand it.
The most excessive is that the white camel is divided into two petals on the fat hooves, which are also dusty, and whenever the camel lifts its fat and juicy hooves and presses them on the ground, the contact area will increase rapidly, changing step by step, with indescribable elegance.
That's right, a fool can see enough kingly spirit from these three white camels.
In addition, it held its head high, looking into the distance with the proud gaze of all beings, but ignoring the caravan that was close at hand.
Some of the Hu people in the Western Regions in the caravans had already begun to jump off their camels or horses, and knelt down on the side of the road to worship the three camels.
Naha stood in the saddle of a camel and bounced and waved to the three camels.
Then, in a gentle and tearful look, the three camels, white as snow and picturesque as elves, slowly knelt at Naha's feet......
"I knew—" said softly.
Surrounded by a group of kneeling Hu people, Naha jumped off the dirty camel that Naha still hated even if it was cleanly washed, and hugged the white camel among them with open arms.
"Hey, old Zhong, is this hand more powerful than your ghost-slaying hand?" Gentle and unbalanced, always trying to provoke a little strife or something, so as to calm his jealous heart that is about to break.
Zhong Kui closed his eyes and turned a deaf ear.
Yun Chu looked at Naha with a smile and happily told those Hu people that she had a dream last night, and she dreamed that the Buddha was going to reward her with three white camels.
"She's lying!" Gently and categorically defined Naha's behavior.
Fahua, the masters of Jueming, did not seem to suspect at all, and they also jumped off the camels, sat around the white camels and began to chant sutras.
The wind on the Gobi blew from afar, blowing away the thick white hair under the neck of the white camel, and then the gentleness of the sharp eyes saw the one-foot-high golden Buddha.
"I know—" Gentle lips trembled and said to Yun Chu.
