Chapter 82: The Barbarian Tribe

The first snow of the year finally fell, and Bai Ya pushed open the door, standing inside the door and looking at the silver makeup in the courtyard, silently thinking about his thoughts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

A few days ago, he solved the problem for Mao Ji, but after asking Wen Wen, there was no news of the little lady of the Qu family.

After all, the Yue Nu Sword Sect is also a big faction, although there are not so many Taoist temples in Qingcheng, but there are also many kinds of swordsmanship schools in the door, and it is not surprising that Wen Wen does not know Qu Ke.

"Senior Brother......

Just as Baiya was in reverie, Yuqing's voice sounded outside the courtyard.

"Oh, you're back!" Bai Ya looked out of the fence and found that there were three people standing outside, and the person with a smile on his face next to Yuqing was not Mao Jia.

"And ...... Senior Sister Feng!"

The other person made Bai Ya a little surprised, and when he saw it, his mood was quite complicated.

Although the person in front of him was dressed as a scholar, and her face was handsome and delicate, like a handsome young student, Bai Ya knew that she was a woman, and it was Feng Yan, the daughter of his first mentor Feng Yang.

"Hehe, big tiger, this girl is handsome, on the way back to the mountain, there are still many ladies who secretly send Qiubo!" Feng Yan said with a smile.

Bai Ya smiled, the yellow-haired girl back then has grown up now.

Although Feng Yan was only two years younger than him, in Bai Ya's eyes, he always felt a generation younger than him, it was really because this little witch was too naughty and mischievous.

Bai Ya has seen a lot of beautiful warriors, but it is really rare for a beautiful girl to dress up as a man and look better than Pan An.

"Senior brother, thank you!" Mao Ji stepped forward and bowed to the end and said solemnly.

As Bai Ya expected, Mao Ji is not comfortable hiding outside these days, and it is a bit difficult to ride a tiger.

On one side is the sect, and on the other side is the family and his fiancée, which really makes it difficult for him to have both love and righteousness.

He was also young, and he didn't think that this matter would be deadlocked forever. Knowing this, he shouldn't have been too thin-skinned in the first place, if he really asked Liu Yu for his head, Liu Yu would still solve it for him even if he didn't look down on it.

"My brother, what's polite, come in!"

The four of them entered the house to talk, and the atmosphere quickly became lively, dispelling a lot of winter chills.

"It's a pity that Senior Brother and Gan Zhang are not here, and we haven't had Qi people in our vein for a long time. Bai Ya sighed with emotion.

"Senior brother heard that he went to the border between Tubo and Yizhou this time......" Yuqing has been staying by Liu Yu's side, but he knows a lot of news.

"Tibet...... Shu is alternating between the old and the new, could it be that those monks want to take this opportunity to invade Yizhou?" Bai Ya said with a frown.

"Senior brother, Tubo is also a human race, will they ignore the constraints of the Immortal Oath?" Feng Yan asked in surprise.

"Senior Sister Feng shouldn't usually care much about this kind of thing. Mao Ji replied with a smile, "The Immortal Fan Oath is only a treaty of my Shenzhou Xianwu Sect, and the barbarian tribes on the Shenzhou Frontier are not included. ”

"Although some barbarians and the Divine Terrans agreed to help each other, they also did not include all the terms of the Immortal Oath. Mao replied eloquently, "Just like Tubo, those monks also made an agreement with the major immortal and martial sects in Yizhou to help each other when demons and monsters invaded, but the agreement on secular boundaries is not clear. ”

Bai Ya also asked Liu Yu these questions, but he didn't care much about it, so he only knew a rough idea.

Now when I listen to Mao Ji, I listen carefully.

Although Bai Ya privately called this world the Divine World, in fact, the Divine Prefecture in his eyes was only the result of the evolution of heaven and earth in the thirteen states of ancient China, and he didn't know if there were other continents in this plane for the time being.

At least on the borders of Shenzhou are the existence of non-Chinese people, who are called barbarian tribes by the Shenzhou people.

The term barbarian did not have a derogatory connotation in ancient times, but only referred to the human race outside of China.

Before the great fission of heaven and earth, Shenzhou divided the other ethnic groups except the Huaxia tribe into Dongyi, Nanman, Xirong, and Beidi, among which only the Xianyu tribe of the Di nationality established the Zhongshan State in the territory of ancient Kyushu in the Warring States Period, and the living territory of the rest of the ethnic groups was in Kyushu, that is, outside the territory of the thirteen states today.

At that time, Dongyi was mainly Donghu (Wuhuan, Fuyu), the main tribes of Beidi were the Xiongnu, the main tribes of Xirong were Yueshi, Qiang, and Wusun, and the Nanban were the Baiyue tribes south of Chu and Bashu, mainly including Dongou, Minyue, Nanyue and Yunnanyue.

Today, some of the major foreign tribes in the four directions have been integrated into Huaxia Shenzhou, some have died out and only exist in the history books, and some have been replaced by the original tribal tribes to form new tribes.

At the beginning of the crossing of the White Cliff, that is, in the year 4700 of the Shenzhou calendar, in addition to the thirteen states of Shenzhou, the eastern countries established by other ethnic groups still included the Khitan, Murowei, Jin, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Wa Kingdoms.

The northern steppes passed through the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Rouran, Tiele, and then to the Eastern and Western Turks and Uighurs. The existing countries include Mongolia, Rouran, Sugu, Tiele, and Shatuo Turks.

The foreign countries in the west include Tuyuhun, which is a country formed after Xianbei Murong moved westward, and is generally sheltered by the Qin State, which is regarded as a relatively successful foreign race in Sinicization.

In addition, north of Liangzhou there was the Dangxiang Western Xia, which was a state established by Tuoba Xianbei, as well as thirty-six small states in the Western Regions.

To the south of Yizhou, there are also Baiyue.

After the fission of heaven and earth, Baiyue gradually integrated into Shenzhou, and the only remaining foreign country was Dali, and the degree of sinicization was also very deep, almost no different from the countries of Shenzhou.

And some of the small Baiyue in the south of Bashu, that is, the autonomous tribes are collectively called the nineteen rivers and eighteen mountains in southern Xinjiang, although there are also royal families, but nominally attached to Shu.

Only Tubo to the west of Yizhou is different, and this is another large country that is no less large than Shu.

The so-called great power not only refers to its secular power such as population, economy, military and politics, but also to the Xianwu area, and Tubo is also very strong.

During the Great Fission of Heaven and Earth, Tibet was only a loosely organized tribal union, and the main rulers were the monks of the religion.

This religion is the earliest religion in Tibet, and its form is similar to that of shamanism. Later, Tianzhu Buddhism was introduced to Tibet and gradually replaced the status of this religion, but it absorbed a large number of teachings of this religion and formed a branch of Buddhism.

Nowadays, this branch of Buddhism is called Tantra, and the scope of preaching is very wide, and there are Tantric Buddhist temples in Tibet, the Western Regions, and even Shenzhou.

Back then, when Baiya was still in Shiyangji, the monk Huikong he met went to the Western Regions Tantra to get the "Lengyan Sutra" and came back.

Unlike the Tubo in Baiya's previous life, because of the great fission of heaven and earth, Tubo did not have a coup d'état to destroy the Buddha.

Buddhism is extremely popular in Tibet, and monks with profound virtues are often called Dharma kings and living Buddhas.

The Dharma King is "Quji Jiebu" in the language of Tibet, and there are four interpretations of this word, one is the king of Tibet, the second is the king of Yama, the third is the tantric monk canonized by the king of Tibet, and the fourth is the great monk recognized by the world.

As for the living Buddha, not to mention, the status of Buddhism in Tibet can be seen from these two words.

The human kingdom bordering Tubo is the 36 countries of the Western Regions and Tuyuhun in the north, and Yizhou Bashu in the east.

After the rise of the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions from the Qin State, they have been in a subordinate position. It was only because of the different ethnic customs that the Qin State did not include it under its direct jurisdiction, and gave it a considerable degree of independence except for trade and tribute.

At the end of the Second Warring States Period, Tubo once took advantage of Qin's long-term weakness to invade the 36 countries of the Western Regions, but was unexpectedly beaten by the Qin State, which was holding back fire in the civil war.

But because of this battle, the Qin state was finally consumed to the extreme, and had to stop the ambition of reunifying Shenzhou, and Qin Shu and their eastern ally Qi admitted defeat in name, thus ending the Second Warring States era.

Therefore, the evil feelings of Qin and Shu towards Tibet began in ancient times.

The retaliation given by the Qin State was to support Xianbei Murong to establish a state in the south of Liangzhou, and became a sword of Damocles on the head of Tubo.

The defect is that although Tuyuhun's army is not bad, but the Xianwu force is relatively weak, during the war, every time the great monks of Tubo participate in the war, Tuyuhun has to find the sect of Qin to save the scene.

However, it is precisely because of Tuyuhun's consumption of Tubo that Qin and Shu have only been at ease for so many years.

Shu does not have such a little brother as Tuyuhun, but Shu's revenge is even more simple and rude.

After the end of the Second Warring States Period, Shu had just recovered a little, and immediately launched the Shu Tu War.

The original northwest territory of Yizhou was originally the first line of Zitong, Chengdu and Hanjia, and the current two counties of Yinping and Wenshan are not. By the time the Shutu War ended, Yizhou would have more Terran cities in these two counties.

For this reason, Tibet has always wanted to start another war to restore its homeland.

Therefore, Mao Ji said that in the immortal oath, the provisions on secular boundaries have not been clarified so far.

"Since there is such a hidden danger, why don't the Immortal Martial Sects of Shu and Tu completely solve it?" Feng Yan asked suspiciously, "No matter how Tubo is, it is still a human race, it is much better than those demons and monsters." ”

Bai Ya and Mao Ji looked at each other and smiled, Feng Yan could be naughty and mischievous again, after all, her mind was still simple, and she didn't understand the complexity of people's hearts.

"Senior sister, let me ask you, if the two countries of Shu and Tu negotiate the border, then the current Yinping and Wenshan counties of Shu will not be returned?" Bai Ya asked with a smile.

"Of course you can't pay it back, it's almost two thousand years according to the Second Warring States Period! The residents of those cities are all Shu people, and the city is handed over to Tibet, what should they do?" Feng Yan said as a matter of course, "Don't those Buddhist monks in Tibet see this?"

"You're right, if it is in the interests of the human race as a whole, maintaining the status quo is the best, and it is also the most beneficial to the Shu Kingdom. Bai Ya sighed, "But things are often not as good as they should be......"

As the immortal power of Tibet, the Tantric Buddhism of Tibet is different from the Xianwu sect of Shenzhou.

Most of the Xianwu sects in Shenzhou have a certain degree of isolation from the world, even if they are the Legalists, soldiers, Mohists and Confucianists among the hundreds of princes, once their disciples enter the court and become officials, it is also equivalent to breaking away from the force system of the sect.

Since they are officials for the sake of their ideals, they are no longer sect warriors, and they must be bound by secular laws.

However, Tibet is different.

Buddhism in Tibet is closely linked to the secular world, and the political status of the Dharma King, the Living Buddha and other eminent monks in Tibet is very high, and the secular power is very large, and even Tubo can be called "the country of Buddhas on earth".

"It turns out that not only the secular Tubo kings, but even those tantric monks are unwilling to give up those two counties from the bottom of their hearts!"

Feng Yan is so smart, with a little reminder, she will understand.
