Chapter 2 Seeing the Dead
There is a lot of communication between him and the soul seed here, but the time is only a few snaps of a finger. The three monks who were fleeing for their lives in front of them had stopped at this time. They didn't see Ding Yu appear out of thin air, they only saw him exert his might and kill all the pursuers, so they guessed whether this person was sent to meet their reinforcements. Among them, the scar-faced monk motioned to his companion to wait and see, while he cautiously approached Ding Yu and opened his mouth to ask: "This mage, dare to ask ......" He didn't finish a word, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "Master Ding Yu, you are Master Ding Yu!"
Ding Yu turned his head to look and saw that the Tibetan monk in front of him was seven feet tall, with thick bones, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a touch of plateau red on the protruding cheekbones, and an old scar on the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't recognize who it was.
Seeing Ding Yu's puzzled appearance, the scar monk said excitedly: "I'm Ah Weng! Twenty years ago, Master Basang, you, and me, the three of us passed through Kunlun Mountain together! Master Ding Yu, is it really you? You are really a master with great mana, and your appearance has not changed at all over the years!"
The facial features of the Tibetan monk in front of him gradually reduced to a clever little face in Ding Yu's mind -- yes, he was the little sand man at the beginning. But why twenty years? He has only lived in the world of twins for six or seven years?
Soul Seed explained in his mind: "The speed of time flows differently between the martial arts worlds. Now it is the period of the Condor. ”
Ding Yu came back to his senses, patted Ah Weng's solid arm happily, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the little Ah Weng had grown into a good man, looking at your outfit, you should be an iron rod monk (equivalent to the Dharma protector monk of the Han temple), right?"
Ah Weng smiled shyly and said, "Yes, I always remember the demeanor of Master Ding Yu back then, so I refused to concentrate on studying Buddhism, but I have been practicing martial arts and lived up to Master Basang's expectations. At this, his face became gloomy.
Ding Yu laughed and said: "Buddhism martial arts are also the right way to protect the Seven Treasures, what is there to be ashamed of." A monk like me who can't even memorize a Buddhist scripture should be ashamed!"
Ah Weng shook his head and choked up, "No, I think of Guru Basang being victimized by a traitor, so my heart aches. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Ding Yu was taken aback, if it weren't for Master Basang to pass on his "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong" and persuade him with Buddhist scriptures, maybe now he has become a demon with an extreme temperament who only knows how to kill. Therefore, he had always had a lot of respect for that great virtuous elder, and when he heard that he had been killed, his heart immediately burst into flames, and he asked, "Who killed Master Basang?"
Ah Wen wiped the corners of his eyes, looked around, and said, "This is not a place to speak, let's find a secluded place and talk about it carefully, what does the master think?"
Ding Yu nodded in agreement. So Ah Weng beckoned two companions to come forward and hurriedly greet Ding Yu, after which they picked a few bags of dry food and water bladders from the back of the Mongolian army's horses, and then the four of them crossed the Weishui River, and found a place hidden by dense bushes in the depths of the woods on the opposite bank, so they sat down with peace of mind, first hastily treated the wounds on their bodies, and then chewed some dry food while talking.
If you want to talk about the reason for the murder of Master Basang, you have to start from two years ago: at that time, Kuoduan, the son of the Mongol Great Khan Wo Kotai, led troops to invade Tibet in order to suppress the Southern Song Dynasty, and after conquering it all the way, he found that Tibet did not have a monarch who ruled the whole country, so he found a famous temple master (that is, abbot) of Delong, and agreed with him on a date to let him surrender to Mongolia in Liangzhou on behalf of Tubo.
Later, the Dharma lord summoned all the great lords and the Dharma masters of the great monastery in Tibet to discuss the matter, and finally decided to go to Liangzhou to surrender according to the agreement, but at the same time, he had to bring a Dharma King with a clear heart and a good eloquence to accompany him, hoping to follow the example of Changchun Zhenren's one-word action to stop killing (see the work related), and use Buddhism to influence the broad end to eliminate the catastrophe of Tubo killing.
In order to select the right candidates, the lords and lords decided to hold an uncovered festival (a Buddhist debate, not a group) and specially invited a group of great monks to participate, including Master Pasang. However, when the conference was held, many of the invited monks, including Master Pasang, did not show up for some reason, and the Uncovered Assembly was finally won by His Holiness the Golden Wheel from the Golden Wheel Temple in the Great Snow Mountain.
Later, the Golden Wheel Dharma King was indeed in the Liangzhou military camp, with unhindered argumentation and profound martial arts to impress Kuoduan, not only the Mongolian army quickly retreated from Tibet, but the Golden Wheel Dharma King himself was introduced to Ogedai Khan, and was enshrined as the first protector of Mongolia.
It wasn't long before the monks of the major monasteries discovered the real reason why many of the eminent monks did not attend the Uncovered Conference that day -- it turned out that they were all intercepted and killed on the way to the meeting! Judging from the traces left at the killing scene or judging from the motive for the killing, the biggest suspect was the winner of the conference, the Golden Wheel Dharma King!
Therefore, led by several largest Buddhist temples such as Zongju, Sabo, and Zadang, more than a dozen Buddhist monasteries jointly sent a team of monks to Zhongdu (formerly the capital of the Jin Kingdom, now occupied by the Mongols) to ask the Jinlun Dharma King Xingshi for his guilt, and if he could not prove his innocence, he would report the matter to the Mongolian Great Khan, asking him to punish Jinlun, a Buddhist sinner.
Unexpectedly, this "Tibetan petitioning group" had just reached the middle of the process, when it was surrounded by a Mongol army, first a round of arrows, and then a rain of spears and scimitars. Although they brought a lot of strong martial arts monks in the team, how could they defeat the Mongolian army, they were rushed by a large number of soldiers and horses, and half of them were killed and wounded, and the remaining monks could only flee in all directions, and the Mongolian army also divided the cavalry to chase and kill. Ah Weng and they originally had more than a dozen monks fleeing on the same road, but in the end there were only three people left, if it wasn't for Ding Yu who happened to cross here, I'm afraid the three of them would have no hope of surviving.
After listening to Ah Weng's narration, Ding Yu asked in a deep voice, "Why did Master Basang die?"
Ah Weng choked up and said, "Yes...... It was a strong blow to the chest with a blunt object, breaking more than a dozen sternums, and he died of exhaustion. Among the deceased monks, nearly half of them had similar blunt wounds, nearly half of them were sword wounds, and the remaining two with the highest martial arts skills were killed by the extremely strong internal force that broke through the internal organs. ”
"Under the door of the Golden Wheel Dharma King, there are two proud disciples, one Darba, who is born with divine power and is good at using a golden demon pestle; the other Huo Du, who often uses a steel fracture fan, is also good at swordsmanship; the masters of the major temples speculate that it was the Golden Wheel Dharma King and the two disciples who divided into three ways, and at the same time robbed and killed the senior monks attending the meeting, and he himself dealt with the two masters with the highest martial arts, and Darba and Huo Du dealt with the rest. I wasn't very sure of it, but this time I was intercepted and killed by the Mongol army, and no one else except King Jinlun had the ability and motivation to do so. It's just that he is a thief with a weak heart, and he is afraid that we will report to the Great Khan, so he wants to kill people and kill his mouth! But since we have been saved by Master Ding Yu, it is necessary to meet the Great Khan in the middle and middle to expose the evil deeds of the Golden Wheel!"
Ding Yu shook his head calmly and said, "Master Basang's revenge will be handed over to me." I'll kill those three murderers, and no one will be missed! You better find a place to hide first, and after this period of limelight, go back to Tibet. ”
