Chapter 128: National Teacher
In the new capital of Mongolia, Kublai Khan set up the official office to manage the whole country's liberation and religion, and there are two monks, one Han and one Tibetan, sitting opposite each other in a scripture house.
The Han monk was about fifty years old, dressed plainly, with an elegant and clear appearance, but his temperament looked like a well-educated Confucian, and the appearance of the Tibetan monk looked less than thirty years old, his handsome face was carved from flawless white jade, and his eyes revealed a profound and incomparably wise light.
Both of these monks were important figures in the Great Mongol state, which was inherited by Kublai Khan.
The Han monk is commonly known as Liu Kan, the word is obscure, the law name is "Zicong", because of his extensive reading, proficient in astronomy, geography, legal calendar, divination, and he knows everything about the world and was recruited by Kublai Khan to his side, and he was accompanied by him day and night as the mastermind. Thinking that he had a great merit of strategizing to help Kublai Khan win on the battlefield and even seize the throne of Khan, Kublai Khan has recently intended to send an edict to return him to the world and then officially enter the center of the imperial court.
And the Tibetan monk's name is "Eight Sipa", and his background is quite magical. It is said that when he was just born, he was empowered by a tantric lama who was about to attain nirvana, and granted him a lifetime of wisdom and cultivation. At the age of three, the baby was able to recite mantras orally, and at the age of five began to practice martial arts without a teacher, and Tibetans were amazed to call it "Phagspa", which means "sage".
At the age of seventeen, Phags-pa took over as the head of the Tibetan Secret Sakya School, and later convinced Kublai Khan with his martial wisdom and willingness to meet his master.
When Kublai Khan was fighting for the throne of Khan, his most formidable opponent Ali Buge repeatedly sent out his masters to assassinate, and it was Pasipa who stopped the assassins with his thorough cultivation and saved Kublai Khan from his mortal state several times. After Kublai Khan ascended the throne, in order to reward Basipa for his great achievements, he was given the jade seal to seal him as the Mongolian national teacher and leader of the Liberation Sect.
Now the two monks who were cited by Kublai Khan as their right-hand man gather in the same room, and it is naturally not a trivial matter to discuss.
At this moment, Zicong is introducing a Jianghu sect called "Island of No Return" to Ba Sipa: "...... At that time, Yue Fei not only had outstanding martial arts, but also won the help of people in the martial arts. At that time, if the Yue family army talked about the high level of martial arts, it should be respected by the 'mad Confucian' Yan Yun. Later, Yue Fei was recalled by the twelve gold medals of the Great Song Dynasty official family in Zhuxian Town, and before leaving, he had a premonition that he might have an accident here, so he recorded his life's martial arts and the art of war into a book, and entrusted it to Yan Yun, who was a lifelong friend, to collect, only hoping that even if he was unlucky, someone could inherit his legacy and rejuvenate the Northern Expedition.
Later, Yue Fei was really killed in the Fengbo Pavilion, and the Yue family army was also split by the imperial court, and those people in the martial arts were naturally scattered. Under the grief and indignation, Yan Yun vowed not to be the Song monarch and not to perform the Song soil, so he took his family to the sea by boat, settled on a small island in the South China Sea, and named the island 'Island of No Return', and changed his name to 'No Return Guest' to clarify his mind.
"The 'Island of No Return' has accumulated wealth through maritime trade, subdued sea pirates and expanded its power, and after more than 100 years of development, it has become a top faction. The contemporary island owner Yan Chongtian has not reached the age of confusion and has cultivated to the congenital perfection, and the seven masters under his command are all congenital masters, and the three thousand islands trained in accordance with Yue Fei's art of war are brave and good at fighting, and no one dares to provoke them in the South China Sea.
"Recently, the imperial court has received a secret report, saying that the leader of the martial arts alliance established by Jiangnan Wulin to help the Great Song Dynasty 'Jiuxian Yunlong' has visited the 'Island of No Return' several times, and lobbied Yan Chongtian to return to Middle Earth and help Jiangnan Wulin jointly resist our Great Mongolia. Whether it is Yan Chongtian or his 'Island of No Return', the three thousand islands are not to be afraid, and the most worrying person is the training method passed down from Yue Fei in Yan Chongtian's hands. If it falls into the hands of the good generals of the Song Dynasty, it is afraid that it will only pose a great threat to the great cause of the Great Khan's unification. ”
At this point, Ba Si Pa had already understood the other party's intention, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Senior Brother Zicong......, does he want the poor monk to make a move?"
Zicong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The poor monk also knows that the national teacher is in accordance with the will of the Great Khan, and wants to create a universal world for my Great Mongolia, which is a great plan, and the poor monk dare to disturb each other." The poor monks have already gathered some people who are willing to be loyal to our dynasty, and have mobilized 3,000 elite warriors to prepare for an expedition to the 'island of no return' by sea. Boyan, a disciple of the Su Wen National Teacher, is not only superb in martial arts, but also proficient in the art of war, so he should be the most suitable candidate, so the poor monk dared to ask the national teacher to cut his love. ”
"Boyan?" Ba Sipa pondered for a long time, and finally smiled and said, "Well, the poor monk has been deliberately recommending him to the Great Khan recently, and it is rare that the senior brother is willing to give him a chance to show his ability, so the poor monk thanked him on his behalf." ”
After saying that, he gently summoned outward: "Come on." ”
A waiter who was waiting outside the door entered the door, saluted respectfully, and asked, "What do you command?"
Ba Si Pa said lightly: "Go and call Bo Yan." ”
The waiter took the order and left, and after a while, a deep voice full of magnetism came from outside the door: "Master, disciple Boyan has been ordered to come to see you." ”
Pasipa responded, "Come in and speak." ”
Immediately, a young man in his twenties walked in proudly. The man had a handsome face, wore a sky-blue samurai suit, and carried a small round shield with a diameter of two feet, and a short double-pointed spear five feet long, both forged from a metal with a faint purple-red luster in the pitch black, and the surface was covered with beautiful patterns like clouds and feathers.
Seeing this disciple who was six or seven years younger than himself, Ba Sipa's face showed undisguised appreciation and love, and said with a smile: "Boyan, I have come to see Master Zicong. ”
Boyan took a few steps forward and greeted Zicong gently.
After the salute was finished, he bowed to Phags-pa again and asked him why he had summoned him to come.
Pasipa immediately relayed what Zicong said, and finally said: "As a teacher, I know that you have great ambitions, so in addition to practicing martial arts, I also diligently studied the astronomy and geography of the Han people, and the way of marching soldiers, which is now a rare opportunity. If you can make a contribution in this matter, you will definitely be able to win the favor of the Great Khan. ”
Boyan said happily: "What the master said is very true, and the disciple will definitely live up to the expectations of the master." ”
After saying that, he thanked Zicong again, and then asked: "I have admired the name of Yue Wumu for a long time, and I am very yearning for the key to the art of war that he left behind. If this trip goes well, can you allow the next general to observe this art of war for a few days?"
Zicong smiled: "This is a trivial matter. If you like it, it doesn't hurt to copy a collection. ”
Boyan was overjoyed and thanked Zicong again.
Ba Si Pa told again: "There are many masters in the southern martial arts, but Boyan, you should not be underestimated in this trip." Zun Sheng is okay at the moment, and I will let him go with you. ”
"Thank you, Master. Boyan was very grateful in his heart, and he wanted to know that Zun Sheng was the protector of the Sakya Sect, and that his practice of "Dragon Elephant Demon Suppression Divine Power" had reached the realm of refining qi and becoming a gang, and he only obeyed the dispatch of the master on weekdays. Now that the master has sent him to serve him, it is out of a heart of deep love.
