(Historical records: In the early years of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the southwestern barbarians were divided into six edicts, including Mengxi, Yuexi, Langqiong, Xuan, Shilang, and Mengshe.) Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Among them, Mengshe Zhao is in the south of the Five Edicts, also known as the Southern Zhao. During the period of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao relied on the support of the Tang Dynasty, unified the six edicts, formally established the Nanzhao State, built the capital of Yang Tho Bacheng, and implemented the slave system. The territory included all of present-day Yunnan, southern Sichuan, northwestern Vietnam, northeastern Myanmar, and northern Laos. During the Kaiyuan period, Nanzhao King Ge Luofeng, sent Chang'an to visit Tang Xuanzong, claiming to be from the far south of Caiyun, so Tang Xuanzong canonized Ge Luofeng as the king of Yunnan, and Yunnan was also named after it. Until 902 A.D., the power of the Southern Zhao Zheng Maisi usurped the throne, slaughtered more than 800 people of the Nanzhao royal family, the Southern Zhao perished, Zheng Maisi formally established the "Great Changhe State", the capital and the system all followed the Southern Zhao. This is the general background. ）

Yi Dan and the others were discussing before dark and rushed to Yang Tho Baa City (now Dali, Yunnan), when Lun Ming became a little timid, and he said in a slumped voice: "Everyone, brothers and sisters, I... I'm still not going, am I?"

Yi Dan said: "Little brother Lunming, this is almost to Yangtho City, you will be able to see your mother soon, why don't you go again?"

Lun Ming touched the tattoo on his face and said, "I'm afraid that when I cross the city gate, I will be arrested again." ”

Yi Dan looked at the tattoo on Lun Ming's face and said, "The words on your face are indeed a problem, why don't we find a way to dress you up." ”

Chen Yunsheng said: "This is a good idea, how should we disguise ourselves?"

Youming said: "Since we are all riding horses, why don't we disguise ourselves as traders of the horse gang, what do you think?"

Yi Dan said: "Well, my junior brother's proposal is good, let's pretend to be a horse gang trader." ”

At Youming's suggestion, everyone found a few clothes from horse gang vendors in a nearby town to put on.

Shun Yu found a long gray yarn, and some black charcoal, and said, "Come, put this black charcoal on your face." ”

Yi Dan asked, "Sister Fairy, why do you want to smear black charcoal on your face?

Shun Yu said: "You misunderstood, although Lun Ming is only fourteen years old, he is not short. Let him pretend to be a merchant from Tianzhu and smear black charcoal on his face, just to cover the tattoo on his face. ”

Yi Dan said: "I really haven't seen Tianzhu people in Xia, may I ask if Tianzhu people are really so dark?"

Shun Yu said: "I have lived in Tianzhu for more than ten years, although the Tianzhu people are not so dark, but Nanzhao's impression of the Tianzhu people is only one word 'black'. So if you dress up like this, you should be able to get away with it. ”

Lun Ming said: "Sister Fairy, are you sure that I won't be recognized like this?"

After Shun Yu personally smeared Lun Ming with black charcoal, he said: "Don't worry, as long as you don't speak, the way you are now, even your own mother may not recognize you." ”

Lun Ming said: "Okay then, I believe in you." ”

Shun Yu wrapped the gray yarn around Lun Ming's head according to the customs of the Tianzhu people. After looking at it carefully, he said to Lun Ming: "Well, this is more like this." ”

Yi Dan said: "It's true that I can't see the original appearance at all, and the words on my face are completely covered, this trick is really good, Sister Fairy, you really have a way." ”

Shun Yu asked, "You guys help me take a look, is this okay?"

Chen Yunsheng said: "I think it's not bad, it should be fine." ”

Shun Yu asked, "I don't know if those guards are strictly inspected?"

Chen Yunsheng said: "It doesn't matter, if it really doesn't work at that time, I will show my identity to protect you in the past." ”

Yi Dan said: "Oh, yes, Brother Chen is the Praetorian Guard of Yang Tho City, there should be a way." ”

Lun Ming said: "I, I'm still a little scared. ”

Shun Yu patted Lun Ming's shoulder and said, "Child, don't be afraid, don't worry if you're with me, whoever wants to snatch you away will not step on my corpse first." ”

Lun Ming said: "Sister Fairy, I believe in you. Why are you so kind to me? You look young, but your smile is like my own mother. ”

Shun Yu listened to Lun Ming's words, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Don't talk about this yet, let's get ready to go." ”

Youming said: "Well, now we will be foolproof." ”

After some disguise, several people rode horses, running under the Cangshan Mountain, on the shore of Erhai Lake, accompanied by the warm spring breeze, and the distance from Yangtho Baa City was getting closer and closer.

Under the sunset, looking into the distance, I saw three towering pagodas, reflecting the Cangshan and Erhai Seas, standing between heaven and earth.

Youming pointed to the pagoda in the distance and asked, "Senior sister, look, there are three towers over there, they look so beautiful." ”

Yi Dan stretched out his hand to block the sunlight above his head, looked carefully in the direction of Youming's hand, and sure enough, he saw three pagodas in the distance, standing resolutely behind a city.

Yi Dan asked, "Brother Chen, what kind of place is that?

Chen Yunsheng said: "That's right. That is the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, which was built during the period of the Nanzhao Kingdom, it has been almost a hundred years, and it is still as new today, it is the symbol of Yang Tho Baa City. ”

Youming said: "Senior sister, look, your three pagodas are tall and majestic, even more beautiful than those in Shaolin Temple, and it is the first time I have seen such a beautiful pagoda." ”

Yi Dan said: "Yes, you can see it from such a distance, it's so beautiful." ”

Chen Yunsheng sighed and said: "Hey, people only see the grandeur and grandeur of its appearance, but they don't know that it is actually the blood, sweat and blood of many slaves. ”

Yi Dan was surprised: "Really?"

Chen Yunsheng said: "Of course, it was the royal temple of Nanzhao, and now, people only remember that it was built during the Fengyou King of Nanzhao, who will remember, in fact, it is all the blood, tears and white bones of the slave gate." ”

You Ming said: "Unexpectedly, in order to beg the Buddha to bless the royal family, hundreds of people and miserable slaves have become unjust souls who died in vain. ”

After saying this, You Ming remembered that Shun Yu was a descendant of the Nanzhao royal family, so he hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry Sister Fairy, I didn't mean to blame you, please don't misunderstand." ”

Shun Yu said: "It's okay, I won't be angry." Actually, you are right, the Buddha is formless, formless, non-existent, and all living beings are equal. And those people are not learning the real Buddha, but just using the Buddha to satisfy their own selfishness, so that the Buddha can become a tool for him to rule the world. How have you ever understood the true meaning of Buddhism?"

Chen Yunsheng said: "The princess is really worthy of being a person who cultivates Buddhism, and Yunsheng really admires and admires such a realm." ”

Shun Yu said: "I just told the truth, and I didn't deliberately favor them because they were my ancestors." ”

Chen Yunsheng said: "The princess is broad-minded and cultivates to a high level, and Yunsheng admires it to the fullest. In fact, not many people in the world dare to tell such truths, so the princess's words are even more precious. ”

Shun Yu said: "The demise of Nanzhao is not unreasonable, but now this Changhe country does not seem to have learned the slightest lesson, and still drives backwards on the old road, and it is the people who suffer." ”

Yi Dan nodded and said: "That's right, as the saying goes: the nature of the country is easy to change. It seems that this is not true at all. ”

Chatting and chatting, everyone came to a row of tall city walls, Chen Yunsheng pointed to the city wall in front of him and said, "Look, Yang Tho Baa City has arrived. ”

Yi Dan looked up and saw a sturdy and tall brand new city wall standing in front of him. The two gates were like a large round arch, and the ninety-nine large round nails on the gates were shining with silver light, and the people of all kinds of clothes lined up at the city gates to be inspected by the guards, and only after passing the inspection were they put into the city one by one.

Yi Dan looked at the city tower, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "We have finally arrived, everyone has worked hard in the past few days." ”

Youming said: "Yes, we are going to enter the city. ”

Lun Ming dodged to the rear, and instinctively began to get nervous again.

Yi Dan turned his head to Lun Ming and asked, "Little brother Lun Ming, what's wrong with you?" Don't be afraid, it's okay with us. ”

Lun Ming said tremblingly: "I have never walked through this door, and I dare not go. ”

Shun Yu asked, "Haven't you been in Yang Tho City all the time before, how could you not have walked through this gate?"

Chen Yunsheng said: "This gate is for ordinary people, and there is a low side gate in Yangtho City, which is specially for slaves who work." ”

Yi Dan said: "How can this be reasonable, even walking has to be distinguished from each other, it is really too deceitful." ”

Chen Yunsheng said: "No, they used to go through the same door." But after the establishment of the Changhe Kingdom, the officials said that it was an insult to walk under the same gate as the slaves, so a small hole was opened in the northeast corner for the slaves to enter and exit from there. ”

Yi Dan pulled Lun Ming over and said, "Lun Ming, don't be afraid, you walk among us, and you will be the leader of our horse gang." ”

Lun Ming timidly walked up and said, "What do you mean to be in charge?"

Yi Dan said: "Don't care, it's the leader anyway." Don't you see that along the way, everyone in the caravan has a leader? You are our leader, and we all listen to you. Don't be afraid, no matter what the soldiers say, you can't pretend you don't understand. ”

Lun Ming nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try my best." ”

Yi Dan smiled slightly: "Well, believe in yourself, you can do it." ”

Soon, several people walked to the city gate, and saw the crowd in front of them waiting in line to check, but Lun Ming was still very timid, so Yi Dan patted Lun Ming's hand and said: "Don't be nervous, relax, you just don't speak, and leave everything else to us." ”

Under the comfort of everyone, Lun Ming relaxed a little. (To be continued.) )
