Volume 2, One Leaf Zhiqiu Chapter 15, Rakshasa Kingdom
Tenjinmaru sailed on the sea for about two more days, but today he suddenly changed direction and went west instead of going north. After Xiao Tianyu asked Zhuang Ziyan, he knew that they were going to dock in the Rakshasa Country for half a day to purchase some ingredients and materials on the ship.
According to the Buddhist scriptures, the country of Rakshasa is the state of Ranga in the world of Bhasa. The capital is the Juxiang Castle, which is the residence of the Rakshasa Heavenly King. The Rakshasa Heavenly King is one of the twelve celestial deities who protect the world, and he and Shakti take turns to hold the world and protect the world.
Rakshasa is an evil ghost in Buddhism, the male Rakshasa is black, red-haired, and green-eyed, and the female Rakshasa is enchanting, white and beautiful. It's no different from an asura. He has lived on an island deep in the sea for many years, and when a ship comes, he lures him to the island and kills him cruelly. Rakshasa is extremely ferocious, good at eating human flesh and blood, and can fly to the sky and sweep the earth, with vast magical powers, and then surrendered by the Buddha and became the protector of Buddhism.
At that time, the Rakshasa country referred to in China was Russia. At that time, Russia was still under the jurisdiction of the Golden Horde, one of the four khanates canonized by the Yuan Dynasty. Because people knew little about the world at that time, and the Russians were blonde, blue-eyed, high-nosed, and vigorous body hair, and the Russians were brave and warlike, similar to the Rakshasa contained in the Buddhist scriptures, it was called the Rakshasa country.
Xiao Tianyu deceived Xu Lanwei and said that the Rakshasa country is like a hell on earth, full of white bones, and the people of the Rakshasa country are all extremely cruel and like cannibalism. Frightened, Xu Lanwei hurriedly went to Xu Yizhi to ask what happened.
When Xu Yizhi went to the Arctic to look for Xuantie, he passed through the territory of the Rakshasa Kingdom. Hearing Xu Lanwei ask him, he laughed: "Sect Master Xiao is lying to you." The people of the Rakshasa Kingdom are just different in appearance from us, taller, and they don't want to be cannibalistic demons as they say in the Buddhist scriptures, you don't have to be afraid!"
After listening to Xu Yizhi's words, Xu Lan's slightly hanging heart fell to the ground, looking at Xiao Tianyu who was standing on the deck with a wicked smile, Xu Lan glanced at him slightly, and said, "You big liar, sooner or later you will go to hell and have your tongue cut off by Lord Yama!" and made a grimace at him.
After traveling for about half a day, at noon, Tenjinmaru arrived at the ferry port of the Rakshasa country. At this time, navigation technology was not yet developed. There was nothing on the ferry except a few fishing boats. Xu Lan looked at it and felt curious, and said in his heart: The people of this Rakshasa country actually have fishermen like us!
After Tenjinmaru landed, everyone got off the boat. Satake Konho instructed his Japanese samurai to go into the city to purchase supplies. Zhuang Ziyan said to the four: "Come here in the evening, and before that, the four of you can rest on the boat, or you can go around the city." ”
Xu Lanwei was full of curiosity about foreign countries, so she pestered Xu Yizhi and said that she wanted to go into the city to have a look. Xu Yizhi couldn't resist her, so he had to agree. Zhao Yanfa and Xiao Tianyu were afraid that the two would be in danger, so they entered the city with them. Zhuang Ziyan leaned into Xiao Tianyu's ear and whispered, "Brother Xiao, I'm going to follow Lord Satake to visit Fireworks Willow Lane in a while." I heard that all the women in this Rakshasa country are graceful, beautiful as flowers, and their skin is fair and smooth. Brother Xiao would you be interested in going with us?"
Xiao Tianyu glanced at Xu Lanwei with his eyes, and whispered: "Thank you Brother Zhuang for your kindness, it's just that there is a Hedong lion at home, if you know that I am messing around outside, you won't tear me apart." ”
Zhuang Ziyan laughed when he heard this, and said, "I forgot that Brother Xiao was accompanied by beautiful women, and I couldn't get away." It's a pity to miss this great opportunity, it's really a shame!"
Xiao Tianyu smiled slightly, and said, "It's okay, I'll go to Brother Zhuang for a long talk in the evening, and I'll definitely tell me about the benefits of this Rakshasa girl!"
"Make it!" Zhuang Ziyan laughed, said goodbye to the four of them, and went with Satake Jinxun. Xu Lanwei suddenly approached Xiao Tianyu and asked, "What did that Zhuang Ziyan tell you just now? You are so happy that you are about to salivate!"
Xiao Tianyu shook his head and said, "Brother Zhuang told me that there is a special food in this Rakshasa country, which is like taro, peeled off the skin, a piece of snow white, and it is very delicious to use, so I yearn for it." ”
"Is it so delicious?" Xu Lan's face was full of curiosity: "It actually made you, the well-informed leader of the Xuanming Sect, drool." Did he tell you where it was? I want to try it. ”
Xiao Tianyu shook his head and said, "That kind of thing can only be eaten by men, not by women." ”
"You're lying to me again, ignoring you!" Xu Lan glanced at him slightly, ran to Xu Yizhi's side angrily, and asked him if there was such a food in this Rakshasa country, which made Xu Yizhi also confused, and shook his head again and again.
I don't know when, Zhao Yan sent Xiao Tianyu's side, and snorted coldly: "Sect Master Xiao is worthy of being an elegant person, and he actually compares the woman of the Rakshasa Kingdom to a taro, which is really convincing!"
Xiao Tianyu paused for a moment and asked, "You heard what you said just now!"
Zhao Yan laughed without saying a word, and quickly caught up with Xu Yizhi and Xu Lanwei, walking side by side with them. Xiao Tianyu shook his head helplessly, and quickly followed.
The Rakshasa country is worthy of being a foreign country, and the architectural style is very different from that of the Central Plains. The pedestrians on the street are also tall, blonde, blue-eyed and high-nosed, and their dress is also different from that of the Central Plains, full of exotic colors. The four of them walked on the market, paved on both sides, people came and went, and the prosperity was no less than that of Yangzhou Night Market.
The appearance of the four people is different from that of the Rakshasa people, and they are extremely conspicuous when they walk on the street, often attracting everyone to stop and watch. Xu Lan was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged Xu Yizhi's arm and asked timidly, "Daddy, why are they looking at us like this?"
Without waiting for Xu Yizhi's answer, Xiao Tianyu had already blurted out: "It must be that this Rakshasa people see that you have fine skin and tender meat, and you don't stuff your teeth when you eat it, and they are thinking about whether to steam you or eat it raw." ”
Although Xu Yizhi said that the people of the Rakshasa Kingdom do not eat people. But Xu Lan saw that they looked strange, tall and mighty, and their eyes were shining with green light, and he was still extremely scared in his heart, so he hid behind Xu Yizhi and shivered.
Zhao Yanfa shouted, "Sect Master Xiao, what do you always do to scare Lan Wei. Don't be afraid, it must be the people of this Rakshasa country who can't help but look at you a few more times when they see your appearance in the dust. ”
Xu Lanwei heard Zhao Yanfa praise himself for being beautiful, although it was a fact, but he was also very useful in his heart. He straightened his chest and looked arrogant, and said, "Even if they are really man-eating demons, with Brother Yanfa here to protect me, I am not afraid!"
When Zhao Yanfa heard her say this, his heart warmed, and he suddenly felt a trace of pride, looking up at Xiao Tianyu, his expression was full of joy.
Most of the silk porcelain bought in the market of the Rakshasa Kingdom is from the Central Plains, and there are some things produced by the Rakshasa Kingdom, which are not common in the Central Plains. Xu Lanwei looked curious, and stopped in front of each stall to take a look. Most of the stall owners are from the Rakshasa country, and they speak obscure language, and none of the four of them can understand it. Xiao Tianyu thought in his heart: Satake Jinxun They are also different Rakshasa Chinese dialects, what should they say when they go to the fireworks place to find a girl?
The four of them walked a few hundred meters forward and came to a rouge stand. Xu Lanwei saw the dazzling array of rouge gouache, and was overjoyed, so she quickly ran over and shouted: "Daddy, daddy, come quickly, the rouge gouache in this Rakshasa country is so fragrant!"
The boss is a middle-aged man in his forties, although he is wearing the costume of the Rakshasa Kingdom, he has black hair, yellow skin and black eyes, and when he heard Xu Lanwei speak, he was surprised and delighted, and asked, "How many people are from the Central Plains."
What?"
The four of them were also surprised when they heard him speak fluent Chinese, and after a brief inquiry, they learned that this boss was also from the Central Plains, surnamed Yu. When he was ten years old, he followed the Central Plains caravan to the Rakshasa country to do business, and stayed for more than 30 years.
It is a great joy to meet fellow countrymen in a foreign land. A few people chatted. Boss Yu asked about the form of the Great Yuan Dynasty today. Because when he left the Central Plains, the world was not in turmoil, and when he heard that the world was surrounded by rebels, the Yuan Dynasty regime was already in danger, and he couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves at the end of the market, and everyone looked over. I saw a group of five people galloping on horseback in the market. The person in front, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with blond hair and blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and deep eye sockets, is a native of the Rakshasa country. A white horse under the crotch is very powerful.
The four people in the back, wearing thick armor, brandished a big knife in their hands, and shouted in their mouths, chasing the Rakshasa in front of them.
The Rakshasa was covered in scars, including a wound on his left abdomen, and blood was left on his own. The white horse under the crotch is also bloodstained. Seeing this, it should be the four people behind who are chasing and killing this Rakshasa in front. The Rakshasa man looked back as he ran, his expression full of fear. When the passers-by in the bazaar saw this, they all exclaimed again and again, scattering like birds and beasts, and making a mess when they landed.
Xiao Tianyu asked, "Boss Yu, what's going on?"
Boss Yu sighed and said, "You don't know, since the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, this Rakshasa country has been under the leadership of the Golden Horde, which was canonized by the imperial court, for decades. The local royal family of the Rakshasa Kingdom has rebelled many times, but the Mongolian iron cavalry is strong, and each time it has ended in failure. Because this Rakshasa country is a subject country of the Great Yuan, it cannot be called the emperor, but can only be called the Grand Duke. Three years ago, the previous Grand Duke of the Rakshasa Kingdom died of illness, and the prince was only nine years old and could not inherit the throne, so the position of the Grand Duke of the Rakshasa Kingdom was inherited by his distant relative Dmitry. This Grand Duke Dmitry believed in Orthodox Christianity, bent on defeating the Golden Horde, breaking away from the control of the Yuan court, and had been secretly uniting the major principalities, wanting to form a surprise army and defeat the Yuan court. The man in front of him was Grand Duke Dmitry. The four men behind were supposed to be soldiers of the Golden Horde. ”
When the four of them heard this, they were all embarrassed. It turned out that not only the people of the Central Plains wanted to rebel against the rule of the Yuan court, but even the people of this Rakshasa country. It can be seen that this Yuan court has been corrupted and ruined, and everyone has been punished.
The four Golden Horde men behind were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they caught up with Grand Duke Dmitry in front. A man jumped up from his horse and kicked Grand Duke Dmitry in the back. Grand Duke Dmitry screamed in pain, rolled over and fell off his horse. The white horse was frightened, let out a long neigh, stopped and arched over his master, and seemed to know that his master was in prison, urging him to get up.
The soldier of the Golden Horde seemed to be a master of martial arts, and the Grand Duke Dmitry, who only kicked him, collapsed on the ground, screaming miserably, and struggled several times to get up but never succeeded. The soldier who kicked Grand Duke Dmitry did not get on his horse, but fell to the ground in one step, raised his long knife, and said a word in the language of the Rakshasa Kingdom in his mouth, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, and raised his knife to slash at Grand Duke Dmitry.
Suddenly, the wind sounded, and a figure came forward, disappeared into the crowd, stopped in front of the Grand Duke Dmitry, raised his right arm and struck at the broadsword, only to hear a loud sound, the broadsword broke in response, and one fell to the ground, and the other remained in the man's hand.
The soldier exclaimed, but saw a pair of fleshy palms slapping on, with a strong internal force, and hit his chest with a bang. The soldier screamed and took a few steps back, blood spurting from his mouth.
Grand Duke Dmitry, thinking that he was going to be killed on the spot, had already closed his eyes and drew a cross on his chest with his hand. Suddenly I heard the sound of the wind in front of me, I felt that something was wrong, I opened my eyes and saw a young man in white standing in front of him, his arms outstretched, his sleeves were windless, fluttering like a fairy, his heart was overjoyed, and he shouted: "Messiah!"
And at this moment, in front of the rouge stall, Xiao Tianyu held his forehead with his hand, shook his head and sighed again and again. In front of him stood Xu Yizhi, Xu Lanwei, and Boss Yu, but Zhao Yanfa was missing.
It turned out that Zhao Yanfa heard that when the Grand Duke of the Rakshasa Kingdom raised troops against the rule of the Yuan Court, he actually sympathized with him. Seeing that the life and death of Grand Duke Dmitry were at stake, his chivalrous heart was so troubled that he couldn't help but come to the rescue.
Grand Duke Dmitry was an Orthodox Christian, who kept the Ten Commandments of Moses and worshiped His Son Jesus all day long. When he saw Zhao Yanfa dressed in white, with his arms outstretched, he blocked the big sword with his flesh and blood, and defeated the soldier of the Golden Horde without blood, and thought that he was Jesus who came to save him, and his heart was excited, and he kept shouting: "Messiah, Messiah!"
The soldier of the Golden Horde came back to his senses, looked at Zhao Yanfa carefully, and saw that he looked and dressed like a native of the Central Plains, so he asked in Chinese: "Are you a native of the Central Plains?"
Before Zhao Yanfa could speak, Xiao Tianyu had already hurried over and shouted at the four soldiers of the Golden Horde: "Baga Ya Road!"
Zhao Yanfa saw that he answered in Fusang language, and he had already guessed what he meant. It is to lead the troubles to the east and attribute all the troubles to the heads of the Japanese people of Fusang State. I felt funny in my heart.
Sure enough, when the soldier of the Golden Horde heard Xiao Tianyu speak, he asked suspiciously, "Are you from Fusang Kingdom?"
Xiao Tianyu heard this sentence the most on the Tianshen Pill these days, so he would only say this sentence. When he saw that the soldier asked him again, he couldn't help but cry out again. A soldier from the Golden Horde behind him shouted: "Don't talk nonsense with them, whether he is from the Central Plains or Fusang, kill them all!"
The soldier in front looked at Zhao Yanfa and said, "It's not that I don't want to kill, it's just that that young man's martial arts are very high, and I'm afraid that the four of us are not his opponents." ”
The soldier behind him remembered that Zhao Yanfa had resisted the sharp broadsword with his flesh and blood just now, and had injured the armored soldier with his bare hands, and he knew that what he said was true. The four of them looked at each other and nodded. The wounded soldier spoke a word of Rakshasa Chinese to Grand Duke Dmitry, turned over and left.
Seeing the four Golden Horde soldiers walking away, Xiao Tianyu's face suddenly changed, and he yelled at Zhao Yan: "We are in a foreign country and there are many dangers, so don't you get involved in these things, aren't you afraid of setting yourself on fire and harming us!"
Only then did Zhao Yanfa realize that he had indeed done something wrong. Xiao Tianyu is right, now that they are in the territory of the Rakshasa Country, they are unfamiliar with the place and there are many dangers, so they should have kept a low profile. But just now Zhao Yanfa saw that Grand Duke Dmitry was in prison, he was kind-hearted, and he couldn't bear to see him die here, so he made a move.
In fact, it was also the Grand Duke Dmitry's life that should not be extinguished today, so there was this adventure. Then this Grand Duke Dmitry worked hard and worked hard. Sure enough, in the Battle of Kulikovo a few decades later, he defeated the army of the Golden Horde in one fell swoop, and successfully washed away the humiliation of the Rakshasa people who had been enslaved by the Mongols and the Yuan court for a long time.
Zhao Yanfa lowered his head and didn't say a word, like a child who had done something wrong. No matter how Xiao Tianyu scolded him, he didn't fight back.
Grand Duke Dmitry stood up and was about to thank Zhao Yanfa. Suddenly, he saw Xiao Tianyu reprimanding him loudly, but he didn't understand it, and he was puzzled on the side. Said a sentence in Rakshasa Chinese. Zhao Yanfa and Xiao Tianyu couldn't understand it, and looked at each other.
Boss Yu stepped forward and said, "Grand Duke Dmitry is expressing my gratitude to you. ”
When Zhao Yanfa heard this, he hurriedly told Boss Yu that he was not polite. Grand Duke Dmitry said a few more words, and after speaking, he looked at Boss Yu with an extremely sincere expression. Boss Yu said: "Grand Duke Dmitry wants to invite you to the palace, and he wants to hold a banquet to thank you for saving your life." ”
When Zhao Yanfa heard this, he was afraid that there would be many incidents again, so he resigned again and again. Boss Yu told Archduke Dmitry in Rakshasa Chinese word by word Zhao Yanfa's words. When Grand Duke Dmitry heard this, his expression was a little lonely, his eyes rolled, he smiled slightly, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, handed it to Boss Yu, and said a lot, turned around and hugged his fist towards Zhao Yanfa, turned over and got on his horse, and walked away.
Boss Yu said: "Prince Vasily said that since it is inconvenient for you, it is inconvenient for him to stay. He gave me this piece of broken silver and asked me to pick out a few good rouge gouaches and give them to Miss Xu to show my sincerity. ”
Xiao Tianyu smiled: "Obviously, it was Zhao Gongzi who saved him, but he bought something for Miss Xu, I really don't understand what he thinks." ”
Boss Yu smiled slightly, did not speak, but put away the silver, picked a few good rouge gouaches on the stall, wrapped them and gave them to Xu Lanwei. Xu Lanwei was naturally happy, but he didn't know what kind of medicine was bought in the gourd of this Grand Duke Dmitry?
It turned out that Grand Duke Dmitry saw Zhao Yanfa dressed in white, and recognized him as the great sage of the Orthodox Church, Jesus. Seeing Xu Lanwei with them, seeing that she was slim and elegant, like a fairy, I thought she was the companion of the Great Sage. He felt that giving gifts to the Daishon's family was like giving them to the Daishonin, and there was such a thing.
The four of them didn't dare to stay here for a long time because of Zhao Yanfa's trouble, so they said goodbye to Boss Yu, and got up and returned to the Tenjin Pill. It wasn't until the evening that the Japanese warriors had purchased supplies and returned to the ship one after another.
Xiao Tianyu stood on the deck, looking at the sunset that was gradually sinking in the west, dyeing the sea red and sparkling. After a while, Satake and Zhuang Ziyan also returned to the ship with a group of Japanese people. Xiao Tianyu saw that they had scars and bruises on their faces, and scolded them one by one. Satake also entered the cabin in a huff, followed by the sound of tables and chairs toppling.
He was curious, so he stopped Zhuang Ziyan and asked, "What kind of Brother Zhuang? I see that you and Lord Satake have bruises on their faces." Could it be that this girl from the Rakshasa Kingdom is so wild that she actually hurt you?"
Zhuang Ziyan grinned and shouted, "If that's the case, it's fine." ”
Xiao Tianyu was even more curious and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhuang Ziyan said: "His grandmother's life is really hard. After I was done with Satake-sama and my brothers, I felt hungry and went to the street to eat something to satisfy my hunger. Who knew that less than half of the meal was suddenly seen on the street by a group of soldiers. When he saw that we were dressed, he came up and beat us without saying a word. Lord Satake crisscrossed the sea, how could he suffer such an insult, so he beckoned his brothers to fight with them. The people of the Rakshasa country are all tall and powerful, and we can't beat them, so we get this wounded all over. ”
Xiao Tianyu laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this. It must have been the four soldiers of the Golden Horde who were insulted because of Zhao Yanfa's obstruction, and they heard Xiao Tianyu say a word of Japanese language, thinking that they were Japanese people, so he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, so he called someone to look for them on the street. I happened to meet Satake Konxun and his gang who were eating on the street, and when I saw that they were dressed as Japanese people, I was angry, so I started fighting.
Xiao Tianyu pretended to be shocked and asked tentatively, "What are they saying about beating you?"
Zhuang Ziyan looked aggrieved, shook his head, and shouted: "If you know, you can pay it back, but we don't know why they suddenly started beating people." This beating was too infuriating. Lord Satake said that when he returns from taking Xiao Gongzi to the Arctic Land, he will be ashamed again!"
Xiao Tianyu nodded, and said solemnly: "Lord Satake is worthy of a generation of heroes, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, lie down and taste the courage, admire and admire!"
Zhuang Ziyan smiled and asked, "Brother Xiao, you also went to the city, how about it? What is the difference between the scenery here and the Central Plains?"
Xiao Tianyu smiled slightly and said, "Except that the architecture and customs are different from those of the Central Plains, I don't think there is anything else." Brother Zhuang, you don't know! I've been thinking about the big girl in the Rakshasa country this afternoon, where do I still have the heart to see what scenery!"
The two looked at each other and laughed. Zhuang Ziyan said: "After dinner, Brother Xiao will come to my room for a long talk. If you can speak well, you will definitely make Brother Xiao hear it as if it is as real as if he sees it!"
Xiao Tianyu smiled slightly, and clasped his fists: "When Brother Zhuang said this, I started to be a little impatient, and I asked Brother Zhuang not to hide anything!"
The setting sun gradually sank into the sea, and the last red light disappeared into the sky. The samurai let go of the anchor and spread the sails, revealing the five bone fans of the Satake family and the family crest of the Tsukimaru. Several sailors held the rudder of the ship, and the Tenjin Maru cut through the layers of blue waves and slowly sailed towards the depths of the sea.
In the blink of an eye, the night sky was full of stars, shining on the surface of the sea. After Xiao Tianyu had dinner, he didn't really go to Zhuang Ziyan, but stood on the deck, looking up at the starry sky, and he was fascinated.
I remember that Zhang Xiaoyuan said that all living beings who are shining under the stars will be bound by fate, and they can't escape or avoid it. He also asked Zhang Xiaoyuan if he could test his fate to see what it was? Zhang Xiaoyuan did not agree, but said that even if he knew his fate, he could not fight, but only increased his troubles, and it was better not to know.
After the Yin and Yang Sect Master got a glimpse of the heavens, he wrote a poem of the Seven Laws. Zhang Xiaoyuan had also read that poem, but it was written obscurely, and the four of them were puzzled. Zhang Xiaoyuan knew that the Yin Yang Sect Master did it on purpose, but he was afraid that someone would see it in the future and guess the meaning of it, which would cause chaos in the world.
Footsteps were heard, and there was a rustling sound from stepping on the deck. Xiao Tianyu looked back, but saw that it was Xu Yizhi. He clenched his fists and said, "Mr. Xu hasn't rested yet!"
Xu Yizhi stepped forward, looked at the endless sea, and let out a long sigh: "Sect Leader Xiao, the old man has something to tell you, God knows that you know what I know, and you are not allowed to let others know, even Wei'er can't tell you, can you promise the old man?"
Xiao Tianyu saw that his face was serious, and he knew that this matter must be extremely strict, so he changed his casual temperament, nodded solemnly, and said: "The junior swears as the leader of the Xuanming Sect, and he will never tell the second person, if there is a violation, I will never recover." ”
Seeing him swear, Xu Yizhi nodded, sighed, and said, "This matter has to start with Wei'er's mother......
At night, the sea breeze was very strong, and the waves were rattling, and what Xu Yizhi said was no longer true. I saw that Xiao Tianyu's expression was sometimes shocked, sometimes his face was gloomy, sometimes he exclaimed, and sometimes he sighed.
......
