The frost on the ground is as thick as snow. People are whispering in the west wind, and the thin horses are neighing in the waning moon. A song is still unclear in the sun. The sound of cars gradually joins the chorus of singing.
Change the color of the grass at the end of the world. Deep on the road, it is still the same as the past. There is nothing to say about life. It is the first time to say goodbye in the world.

…
On that day, Li Chu was reviewing memorials in his study. The housekeeper came to report that the Japanese special envoy Uzuo Hachimangami and the saint from Yinshi Shrine asked to see the prince.
Li Chu asked: "Why did the Japanese special envoy come to the East Palace?"
The housekeeper shook his head and said that the other party did not tell the reason for meeting the prince.
In front of Li Chu's eyes, the peerless face of Saint Fusang was as beautiful as the flower moon, and he said: "Let them come in, I would like to hear what they have to say."
After burning incense, Uzahachiman God and Fuso Saint Rika Fujiwara appeared in the main hall of the East Palace.
Li Chu couldn't help but be startled when he saw Uzuo Hachimanshin walking with a limp, and his complexion was not as good as what he saw last time at Linde Hall, as if he had been hurt by someone.
Although Li Chu was puzzled, he was very scheming. Seeing that Uzuo Hachiman didn't talk about it, he didn't mention it himself. Instead, he asked Uzuo Hachiman about the customs and customs of the Japanese country with great interest.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
However, Li Chu's mind was not on Uzuo Hachiman God, but on the cold and mysterious Fuso Saint.
After the two exchanged polite greetings, Uzuo Hachiman got to the point: "I have been admiring Buddhism for many years. I heard that a Buddhist scripture from India, the Diamond Sutra of Subduing Demons, was lost in the Tang Dynasty. This Buddhist scripture is an only copy. Even Tianzhu has been lost. If Your Highness can tell you the whereabouts of this scripture, I am willing to help Your Highness solve your problems."
Li Chu laughed loudly and said: "I understand the special envoy's intention. However, I have no interest in Buddhism, nor do I care about the whereabouts of this Buddhist scripture."
God Uzuo Hachiman smiled and said: "Your Majesty is the king of the human world, so of course he has no interest in us who are outsiders. However, the people around your Majesty may know the whereabouts of this Buddhist scripture."
Having said that, Uzuo Hachiman looked at the darkness in the corner of the house, where a faintly armored soldier stood.
Li Chu smiled and said: "The special envoy is really powerful. The name of my personal bodyguard is Yun Guangming. He has indeed traveled and practiced in Shaolin.
General Yun, if you know the whereabouts of this Buddhist scripture, you might as well tell the special envoy."
Yun Guangming, wearing bright light armor, strode out of the darkness and said in a low voice: "The Diamond Sutra of Subduing Demons is a Buddhist treasure. Don't say I don't know its whereabouts. Even if I know, I won't tell you."
Uzuo Hachiman didn't answer Yun Guangming's words, turned his head and smiled at Li Chu, saying: "I am good at reading faces and know what your Highness has been worried about recently. If Your Highness is willing to help, I can remove the stumbling blocks on His way to the throne. .”
Li Chu's face darkened and he said: "Crazy rebellion! As soon as you say this, it is a crime of beheading. I think you are the special envoy of the Japanese country and will not be held accountable. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will definitely take you down."
It's not enough to say anything speculative.
The god Uzuo Hachiman leaned on the dragon's head crutch, stood up slowly, and said: "General Yun, you can tell His Majesty the true origin and strength of this old man.
If you think you can assassinate Bai Fu on your own, just pretend I didn't say this."
Li Chu was so horrified that he broke into a cold sweat. Has his plan to assassinate Bai Fu been exposed?
Fuso Saint Fujiwara Rika sneered and supported Uzuo Hachiman God towards the temple door.
When the two of them were about to cross the threshold, the silent Yun Guangming finally spoke, "Wait a minute..."
…
After a secret discussion between the four of them, Yun Guangming excused himself and sent Uzuo Hachimangami and Fujiwara Rika to the palace gate.
On the way out of the palace, seeing no one around, Yun Guangming suddenly stopped and asked, "How did you know that the prince knew the whereabouts of the Diamond Sutra of Subduing Demons?"
God Uzuo Hachiman grinned and said to Yun Guangming: "
The prince may not know it now, but he will definitely know it before long.
It is said that before his death, Wu Zhao told Ruizong Li Dan about the whereabouts of the "Vajra Conquering Demon Sutra". Before Li Dan abdicated, he told Xuanzong this.
It is a pity that although Xuanzong is old, he is not confused at all and has never revealed the whereabouts of this sutra.
The rebellion in the Daming Palace failed, Xuanzong was placed under house arrest in Taiji Palace, and Gao Lishi, who was inseparable from him, was also exiled.
Xuanzong was old and his time was running out. I guess he would not tell Suzong the whereabouts of the Buddhist scriptures, nor would he take the secret into the coffin, but would secretly tell it to his direct grandson, the prince.
Li Chu."
Yun Guangming snorted coldly and said: "Since you are seeking Buddhist scriptures, why do you drag me in and try every means to get me to help you?"
God Uzuo Hachiman chuckled and said: "You know my identity, and I also know your origins.
As an eminent master of Manichaeism, you possess seven sectary treasures including the Sutra of Wisdom of the Origin of All Dharmas, the Secret Dharma Storehouse Sutra, and the Sutra of Hercules written by Mani, the founder of the sect.
Apart from a few Buddhist scriptures in the world, such as the "Vajra Subduing Demon Sutra", "Yi Jin Sutra", and "Marrow Cleansing Sutra", what other Buddhist scriptures can enter your Dharma eyes?
As far as I know, you turned into a wandering monk who practiced Buddhism. You have been in Shaolin Temple for many years, just waiting for the opportunity to pry into the "Yi Jin Jing", "Marrow Cleansing Sutra" and other treasures.
But, what do you want to do when you come to the prince's side?
If His Highness the Crown Prince will never know the whereabouts of the Diamond Sutra of Subduing Demons, how can you, given your noble status, change your appearance and become a subordinate of others and serve as a personal guard for the Crown Prince?"
Yun Guangming snorted coldly and was noncommittal.
Uzuo Hachimanshen continued: "It is said that the "Vajra Conquers Demon Sutra" and the Ninth Cauldron Pill are mutually reinforcing and incompatible. If the whereabouts of the "Vajra Conquer Demon Sutra" are known, it will not be difficult to find the Ninth Cauldron Pill.
The drunkard is not interested in drinking. I guess what you are looking for is not just Buddhist scriptures, right?"
A bright light suddenly appeared in Yun Guangming's eyes, and the murderous aura disappeared in a flash.
God Uzuo Hachiman chuckled and said: "You want to kill me now? It's too early."
To be honest, I am over a hundred years old, living in a corner, and have no ambition to conquer the barbarians and dominate the world. The Ninth Cauldron Pill is not as useful to me as you are.
As long as Mingzun is willing to form an alliance, I can make an oath to only take the Buddhist scriptures without the Cauldron Pill. You can copy the original Buddhist scriptures and use them to practice your mental skills and restrain the backlash of the Cauldron Pill."
Yun Guangming pondered for a moment, then decisively took out his dagger and drew a cross star blood mark on his left palm.
Uzuo Hachiman nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his fingers like dead branches, and used his long and sharp nails to draw a circle of blood marks on the palm of his left palm.
The two of them put their palms together, and there was a faint light of blood in their palms.
God Uzuo Hachiman smiled and said: "The blood oath has been fulfilled. May we achieve our wishes and each get what we need."
As soon as the alliance was announced, the atmosphere immediately became relaxed, and the two returned to the topic of assassinating Bai Fu.
Yun Guangming said: "I met Bai Fu many years ago. His rapid progress in cultivation is unparalleled in the world and shocking to the world.
It is in both our interests to get rid of him.
The prince's intention is to kill Bai Fu as soon as possible. I couldn't refute it just now, but I can say a few more words now. I think that if it is not a last resort, it is best to keep his life for the time being.
Shaolin has been destroyed, and all the unique skills of Shaolin have fallen on him, leaving him alive, which is of greater value."
God Uzuo Hachiman nodded and said: "Shaolin martial arts is a treasure of the world. I have always been worried about the Hojo feudal lord's way of burning Shaolin to avenge his son.
Don’t worry, after destroying Bai Fu’s martial arts, I will keep him alive and let him copy out the Shaolin secrets, we will share them together, and then I will hand him over to His Highness the Crown Prince.”
Yun Guangming was secretly happy in his heart, and thought: "Japanese people are Japanese people, and their knowledge is shallow. They only know one thing but not the other.
Abbot Kongjian of Shaolin passed the mantle to Bai Fu's old friend Hu Changgang. Only by keeping Bai Fu could he lure out Hu Changgang, who had been hiding for many years.
If the unique knowledge of Shaolin fell on Bai Fu, then the magical power of Zen Buddhism fell on Hu Changgang.
As the saying goes, you have magical powers and I have magical powers. This talent is a priceless treasure."
Saint Fuso dismissed the content of the conversation between the two. She sneered secretly: "Do you think I'm just a piece of meat on the chopping board? I'll let you slaughter me?"
If Bai Fu is so easy to deal with, I can just do it myself. Is there any need to invite the god Uzuo Hachiman out of Fuso and lower himself to form an alliance with your Manichaeism?
If we can't kill Bai Fu with one blow, and kill Bai Fu on the spot, with Bai Fu's character, we will be the ones lying dead on the streets in a short time..."
