Chapter 360: Roasted Wheat
Wang Hou thought that after dawn it would be November 16, and one more day would be the day when the legendary Bodhidharma Zen staff was born. But looking at the current situation, if you don't hurry up the treatment, I am afraid that Yan Zuo will lose his life at any time...... What to do?
Dharma King Daci seemed to see Wang Hou's concerns, and said: "General Zhaoyi, tonight's incident is all caused by the poor monks, if I hadn't rashly gone to Zen Buddhism to investigate, I wouldn't have implicated you in being discovered...... Tomorrow I will take Yan Zuo's envoy to the Lute Desert, and no matter what the result is, the poor monk will have a clear conscience. ”
Wang Hou didn't mean that he would say this, in fact, in Wang Hou's heart, he always felt that the Great Mercy Venerable King was a little unfathomable: the first time he met it at the Reclining Buddha Temple under the Fragrant Mountain, it gave people an abrupt feeling; Then he met unexpectedly in Guli Kingdom, although fortunately he saved the Mei brothers, but he always felt a little surprised; Then there is the Uncovered Conference, in which he captured the fake monks who destroyed the conference in a crowd of more than 200,000, which is even more surprising. After returning from Zoroastrianism, I thought I would be able to talk to His Holiness Daci, but I didn't know where I was, and I didn't expect to meet him in Bodhidharma Zen Buddhism tonight.
Because of a sense of mystery about the Great Mercy Venerable King, Wang Hou has never been able to communicate with him, and when he heard him say this, he hurriedly said: "Then how can it be done? How can I blame the Dharma King for tonight's events, I heard that the Dharma Zen rod is a sacred object of Buddhism, only people with Buddha fate can have the opportunity to see it, even if others can get it, not only is it useless but harmless, so no matter what the situation is tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will try to cure the Yan Zuo Envoy. ”
After a pause, Wang Hou said again: "But the Dharma King is different, the Dharma King is a Buddhist, I have heard that the Gelug Sect is a rookie of Tibetan Buddhism, the Dharma King as the leader, not only strict self-discipline, martial arts are superb, deeply courteous by the emperor, was named the 'Great Mercy Dharma King' by the Yongle Emperor, but also advocated that the monks strictly abide by the precepts, and the monastery management is strict. The Dharma King should be a person with great Buddha fate, and since he is here, of course, he must wait for the birth of the Dharma Zen staff. ”
The Great Compassion King said: "The poor monk is here, it is indeed ...... There is an important task, a few are not outsiders, the poor monk just said, tonight to explore Bodhidharma Zen, not like there is a sign of the birth of a holy thing! The so-called golden light soaring into the sky before was nothing more than the golden light on the west side of the Five Elements Mountains illuminated by the moonlight! Tonight, the poor monks were on the roof, and listened to what they said: 'There is more gold here, and there will be no gain.' It is not difficult to infer that Bodhidharma Zen may be taking the opportunity to exaggerate, but I don't know if they want to increase their fame with this, or if they have other plans? ”
Seeing that Wang Hou was about to say more, the Great Compassion Dharma King said together: "The poor monk knows that General Zhaoyi is kind-hearted, but if I ignore Yanzuo's injury, where can I talk about any Buddha fate?" Early tomorrow morning, we will rush to the Lute Desert, even if there is a Dharma Zen rod born, it should be ours, it will still be ours. ”
When Wang Hou heard him say this, it was not good to insist, and he immediately agreed with Li Xing: prepare a carriage early tomorrow morning and go to the Lute Desert, because the geographical environment of the desert is extremely harsh, and it is not only useless for ordinary martial arts to go, but it is a burden, so he decided to only go with the Great Ci Dharma King and bring the Yanzuo envoy to go. However, he reminded Li Xing that Dharma Zen Buddhism is not easy to deal with, especially the martial arts of the sect master are far from being provoked by ordinary people, so he went to the palace at dawn and explained the situation to Zheng Zongbing.
As Zheng Zongbing said this morning, because it is not clear who has a dispute with the Tea Horse Gang and the Salt Gang, it is not appropriate to let the government interfere too early, but now that it is known that it was done by the Dharma Zen Sect, and the Tea Horse Gang and the Salt Gang are doing their own business, the Persian government should deal with the robbery of goods and the injury of personnel, which is the best way to solve the problem.
Li Xing nodded in agreement, knowing that General Wang and the Great Ci Dharma King would have to travel far the next day, so he called four guards to take turns to take care of Yanzuo's envoy and vacate the next room, so that they could hurry up and rest.
The next day, when the sky was bright, Wang Hou and Daci took the Yanzuo envoy and drove out of the harbor, inquired about passers-by, and went south along a small road. In the afternoon, the carriage stopped on the side of the road, and the two men ate some dry food, and did not care about resting, and continued on their way. The further you went, the narrower the road became, and the deserted one made it impossible for the carriage to move forward.
Because of the fact that from Wusizang to Guli and from Guli to Persia, more than 10,000 miles were all on foot, although most of the famous Silk Road was taken, but he knew more about the road conditions, and said: "General Zhaoyi, the front should not be far from the desert. Wang Hou stopped the carriage, unloaded the wheels, tied the reins of the horse to a poplar plant, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "Your Majesty, the carriage in front of you can't pass, so let's hurry on foot." ”
The Great Mercy King answered, took the Yanzuo envoy in his arms, and got out of the carriage. Wang Hou picked up the prepared water bladder from the car, carried it behind him, stepped on the loose sand under his feet, and followed behind the Great Compassion Venerable King. At this time, it was already afternoon, but the sun did not mean to set, the sun was boiling hot, and a gust of wind blew, not cool, but hot sand, which was very uncomfortable on the face.
The two of them started light work, and they had to find the hottest sand before it got dark, put Yan Zuo in the sand, and help him regulate his internal strength, so that after dark, with the martial arts of the two, they were also fearless, and they would wait for the next day. In front of me was a vast expanse of yellow sand, interspersed with dark volcanic lava, and finally crossed a sand dune, and saw a tall sand dune in the distance, which continued to move forward, constantly raising smoke and turning on the desert.
Wang Hou witnessed the spectacular scene of "the desert is lonely and straight", but he didn't feel anything beautiful at all. King Daci said: "General Zhaoyi, the sand dunes in the distance should be the best place. Wang Hou responded: "What the hell is this weather, it's November, why is it still so hot?" ”
"It's the hottest place in the world, and it's a good place to live." His Holiness did not find it strange that he had seen a lot of deserts. The two of them didn't walk a few steps before they felt the scorching heat sweeping over, making people breathless. Fortunately, both of them are top masters, and the heat is not unbearable for them.
Wang Hou took the Yan Zuo Envoy from the hands of the Great Mercy Dharma King, and was surprised to find that the Yan Zuo Envoy's body was not as hot as before, and he didn't know if his body automatically adapted to the environment here, or Wang Hou no longer felt that the body temperature of the Yan Zuo Envoy was too hot in such a hot environment.
In a style of "the boat goes endlessly", Wang Hou slid out of the sand, did not look back, and rushed straight forward. "Good kung fu!" His Holiness let out a sigh of admiration and followed closely with his legs. The effort is not big, in front of the sand dune, from a distance I don't feel it, but when I get to the front, Wang Hou feels more and more that this sand dune is more magnificent than the ordinary hill, layer by layer of sand lang from the top of the mountain, and by countless sand and stones surged, as if the solidified golden waves have been extending forward.
The Dharma King said, "It's not too early, let's hurry to the west, where the temperature is higher, and it will be good for his injuries." With that, without waiting for Wang Hou to answer, he turned straight and swept to the left front. Wang Hou did not hesitate and followed. When the two reached the west side of the sand dune, the Great Mercy King stopped in a low recess, and when Wang Hou saw this, he put down the Yanzuo envoy, and the two covered him with yellow sand, revealing only his head and face.
Wang Hou said that he had just noticed that the body temperature of the Yan Zuo Envoy had dropped, and the Great Mercy Dharma King stretched out his palm and probed the forehead of the Yan Zuo Envoy, nodded and said: "General Zhaoyi is right, it seems that this method is really useful to him, this is better, we just need to protect the Dharma here, and he will recover by himself, and the effect will be better than others helping him." ”
Looking into the distance, Wang Hou couldn't help but smile and said, "This place is deserted, where do you need us to protect the Fa?" Knowing this, I brought him here alone, and I didn't have to delay His Holiness to explore the Dharma Meditation Staff. The Great Mercy Dharma King said in a fit of strength: "General Zhaoyi, don't say that, saving people's lives and winning the seventh-level floating slaughter is immeasurable merit." Today is also lucky, there is no strong wind, otherwise, how can it be so calm. Don't look at it now, at night, the temperature plummets...... I don't know if Yan Zuo can withstand it. ”
Wang Hou has never been to the desert, I don't know that the desert climate is far more complicated than the Great Compassion King said, not only the rain is not only less than the year, the air is dry and there is very little water, it is difficult for plants to survive here, and the wind and dust are raging, the sun is direct during the day, the ground will be heated quickly, the temperature is so high that you can boil eggs, and at night, the temperature will quickly cool down, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large.
King Daci took the water bladder from Wang Hou's hand, poured out a little, moistened his lips for Yanzuo, drank it himself, stuffed the cork, sat cross-legged on the sand dune, and motioned for Wang Hou to sit down, and asked: "There is nothing to do left and right, the poor monk wants to ask General Zhaoyi two things, I don't know whether to ask or not?" ”
Wang Hou hurriedly said: "The Dharma King doesn't have to be polite, just ask." "General Zhaoyi became famous in one fell swoop at the martial arts conference, but he relied on real kung fu and no false fame, which was convincing. But the poor monk looked at the general's martial arts, especially the battle with the Tongba Emperor, but what he made was like Buddhist kung fu, I wonder if General Zhaoyi can tell me what kind of martial arts it is? ”
Wang Hou knew that he was talking about the "Su Lu Han Shen Mo" move in the last two styles, when he was in the air, taking advantage of the distraction of the Tongba Emperor, he bent his right arm to support his head, and stretched out his left arm to pinch the auspicious seal, and used this move to defeat Tongba. He replied: "That trick is indeed Buddhist kung fu, and it is said that it is related to the Dharma King...... and he said that he saw two reclining Buddhas in the Reclining Buddha Temple at the foot of Xiangshan that day, and how he realized the two ways from the reclining posture of the Buddha statue. (See Chapters 089 and 090 for details) The Great Compassion King pronounced a Buddha name: "I see...... When the poor monk was in Beijing, he heard that Yuan Yingzong was building a reclining Buddha temple, which greatly hurt his vitality, so he wanted to go and see it. At that time, General Zhaoyi also lamented that after Yuan Yingzong succeeded to the throne, he killed the ministers who opposed the construction of the temple, and exiled them, although they were built for ten years, they could not be built, especially saying, 'The Yuan Dynasty has existed for less than a hundred years, which shows that the people's hearts are back, and it is a matter of survival. It was even more impressive to the poor monks. Those two reclining Buddhas have been admired by countless people, but only General Zhaoyi has realized a strange trick from them, and such an opportunity is really enviable. ”
"His Holiness has won the prize." Wang Hou smiled, suddenly remembered something, and immediately understood why the Great Compassion King asked this question.
