When Song Yang said goodbye to his companions and went their separate ways, Yan Ding was sitting quietly alone in a small room outside the seven-story golden-domed hall of Chai Cuo Da Pagoda...
He had been here for an hour, and as always, Bojie asked him to wait. This time the steward gave him an excuse: the living Buddha was taking a nap.
In the past, it was still homework time and government affairs were busy, but now it's time to take a nap. The excuses are getting simpler and simpler, and Yan Guoshi is less and less in his eyes. But Yan Ding doesn't care, he has been waiting for decades.
How could he care about this short hour... It took more than an hour, until dusk, the great living Buddha woke up and summoned the national master to enter the temple.
Just like every time we meet, the main hall is empty, with the Imperial Master high above, Ouda serving on the side, and the Golden Palace guards hiding in the darkness, without a trace of breath, as if they don't exist at all.
As soon as they met, Bojie asked directly: "What's the matter?"
"Farewell to the Great Living Buddha." The Imperial Master's ventriloquism was dull.
The Great Living Buddha suddenly changed the topic: "Since the first time I went to the temple, I haven't seen the young man next to you. Where has he gone?"
From the time he arrived to the present, the Imperial Master has stayed in Rinka City for more than a month. During this period, he has seen the Great Living Buddha countless times, but the other party has never asked about Strawberry again. Today, for some reason, he remembered Strawberry again.
The Imperial Master shook his head: "Young people are impetuous. They are so ecstatic when they see the scenery of the Holy City that they don't even know where to go to play."
The Great Living Buddha asked: "Is it difficult to find him?"
The Imperial Master spread out his hands: "This is what he learned. If he wants to escape, I won't be able to find him anyway."
The Great Living Buddha sat on the throne, lowered his head and was silent for a moment. Then he raised his head and said with great interest: "How about you and I make a bet? Just bet within ten days whether I can catch this young man. If I can't catch it, you will be fine."
If you win, I will give you the Great Auspicious Ruyi Dzi Bead. If you catch it, you will lose and you won’t have to pay anything. On the contrary, I will give you something else... and I will give you a piece of human skin, the skin of a young man."
The Imperial Master shook his head without even thinking about it: "No need to gamble. I admit defeat."
This surprised the Great Living Buddha and said in astonishment: "Didn't you say that young man is very good at escaping? Why did he just admit defeat? The majestic Lord Dongtu Buddha, the Great Master of Dayan, bowed to me so easily? No
Like you... I remember when you first brought him to the temple, you had very strict rules."
The national master responded: "The chances of you catching him are not too great. But after all, you are the master of a country, and the chance of success still exists... Just for a boring bet, you put a good boy in danger.
I won’t do this kind of thing, and if you think I’m bowing my head when I admit defeat, it’s okay.”
The Great Living Buddha became even more curious: "From what you said, it seems that you care about the life and death of your subordinates?" At this point, he laughed and waved his big hands like cattail leaf fans back and forth: "Your position was built with human lives. If you
If you really put the lives of those disciples, juniors, and subordinates in your eyes, how can you still be the Great Master of Yan? Don't be kidding me."
Yan Ding did not smile, but told the truth: "Human life is not in my heart, but when you want to save someone's life, you have to see why. The Great Living Buddha said it well when we first met: As long as the price is right, there is nothing in the world that you can't sell."
That's almost the truth. As far as I'm concerned, winning a big auspicious dzi bead from you is not worth my junior's life, so I won't gamble, so I admit defeat. That's it."
As he spoke, Yan Ding raised his head, looked at the Great Living Buddha through the cold iron face with his scarlet eyes, ventriloquised word for word, and repeated: "I admit defeat, there is no need to gamble."
The Great Living Buddha's eyes were as bright as fire and he stopped talking for the time being. He steadily met Yan Ding's gaze and remained silent for a while before speaking: "Are you leaving so soon? Are you not going to stay in the Holy City for a few more days?" After that, he didn't need the other party.
Answer: He sighed deeply, stretched out his hand and patted the armrest of the throne, making a snapping sound: "The big golden dome is so empty and vast. Living like this for too long will inevitably become boring. Now you have to go back too... Before leaving.
I really can't help but gamble with you again. Making you admit defeat is one of the few interesting things, and it will be enough for me to have fun for a few days."
At this point, the Great Living Buddha laughed loudly again, shaking his head and waving his hands while laughing: "It's just a joke, Master, don't take it to heart, we are all my disciples, and you won and I lose, let's not mention it.
Don’t mention it anymore!”
The national master did not lose, but Bojie only felt that he had beaten others and won another battle, which made him feel so happy. The topic was over, but the laughter continued for a while. Yan Ding did not express anything, and his tone remained calm:
"The ghost soldiers of Wanggu have entered the country, and the war in Yan has begun. There are still many major issues in the country waiting for me to go back to deal with, and I can't delay any longer.//**//"
Bojie asked: "When will you leave?"
"I will leave tonight and set off overnight. I came here to say goodbye to the Great Living Buddha and thank the Lord Buddha for lending me the friendship of 80,000 soldiers. When the prosperity of the Yan Dynasty is restored, I will help the Great Living Buddha to destroy the Uighurs, capture Nanli, and sweep away the wolf soldiers.
, Let’s build a lasting legacy together.” Yan Ding followed Zen etiquette, clasped his hands and bowed slightly.
The Wanggu ghost soldiers attacked Dayan, and with the internal support arranged by the national division in advance, the war progressed extremely smoothly, and they were advancing rapidly through the Yanxi gateway towards the prosperous inland. The Great Living Buddha also followed his promise, and after the ghost soldiers broke through the pass,
Eighty thousand elites from the Western Regions quietly entered the customs, entered the territory of Dayan, and stationed themselves at a location agreed upon by both parties in advance, waiting for the national army to join them.
Bojie waved and smiled: "To tell you the truth, I really can't bear to let you go, but it's important, so go ahead, go ahead. Bojie sincerely wishes Master Shengjing that all his wishes come true and everything goes well." The last eight words are neither fish nor fowl, no.
It was like a congratulatory message to an overlord, or rather like auspicious words casually uttered by neighbors after meeting during the New Year and Spring Festival. However, the great living Buddha's attitude became unusually serious. He even stood up and gave Yan Ding a tantric blessing.
Gift seal.
Yan Ding gave a rare laugh, stopped talking nonsense, turned around and left the hall.
After he left, Bojie glanced at Wu Da, who understood what the master meant, nodded and said: "Monk Shengjing is always followed by his disciples, so master, don't worry."
Bojie was noncommittal and changed the subject and asked: "How is the search for the young man who came with Yan Ding? We must find him within ten days."
The wrinkles on Wu Da's face twitched slightly, but before he could speak, Bojie continued: "Since Yan Ding has admitted defeat, I won't give him human skin... I'll give him the body instead. That young man will definitely
If you want to kill him, he attacked me in the Golden Palace, so he must die."
Perhaps the national master had left, and the great living Buddha no longer had to pretend, so his tone also became calmer unconsciously. Whether delivering skins or corpses, there was no tone in his mouth about the important matter of a person's life.
Wu Da was still a little hesitant: "Sheng Jing didn't dare to bet with the master. He made random remarks like 'is it worth it?', but anyone could see that he cared about that young man very much. Now,
Would it be wrong to kill the offspring..."
"Will you fall out, or will you regret cooperating?" The Great Living Buddha looked disdainful, but his eyes were extremely calm: "Does Shengjing have the qualifications? Yes, this cooperation is of great benefit to me in Tubo, but even if we break up, it will not be good for me.
There is no damage at all, but how can Shengjing compare with me? He has been pushed to the edge of the cliff by Jingtai a long time ago, and there is no way out. I want to send that young man’s body to him just to tell him: He and I have different statuses and different environments.
, the business we do is naturally not a fair deal, and he has to give in when it is time to give in."
Wu Da no longer hesitated, knelt down and respectfully accepted the order. After standing up, he said: "The two hundred thousand soldiers and horses are ready to go out. As soon as the master gives the order, they will march eastward to Dayan."
Wanggu ghost soldiers entered Yan to cause rebellion, and lent 80,000 elites from the Holy City to fight against the imperial army. In addition, Bojie also arranged for an army of 200,000 people, firstly to prevent the Wanggu rebels from coming back, and secondly, to take advantage of the situation and rob many people.
Taking advantage was something he had already asked Uda to do.
The Great Living Buddha smiled: "Wait a little longer, wait until Shengjing returns to Dayan, and then let them go on an expedition. It will make everyone look better."
The answer was expected. Uda kowtowed respectfully, resigned, and left Jinding to go on errands. The top priority was to seize straws and return to the Great Living Buddha as soon as possible within ten days.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. It was silent in the middle of the night, and at dawn, the arrest deadline assigned by Bojie was about to come...
Tubo was rebellious. The leader of the ghost soldiers, Wanggu Living Buddha, took a deep breath. The climate of Dayan was indeed extraordinary. The air here seemed to have a sweetness. On the other hand, the early winter in the hometown of the plateau had arrived and a heavy snowstorm was about to begin.
It’s been a miserable season.
Thinking of the snowstorm in his hometown in the winter, Wanggu couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart despite his deep cultivation. The cold was too unbearable. From this, Wanggu felt more and more that his decision to send troops to Dayan this time could not have been more correct.
.At this time, a subordinate reported that Master Tianqiong, a disciple of the Imperial Master, asked to see him.
Ever since they entered the Yan realm, the forces of the Imperial Guard have been in constant contact with the ghost soldiers. This meeting had been arranged long ago. Wanggu nodded and made a greeting gesture.
Soon, a monk was led into the Chinese army's tent.
The monk looks ordinary and has no temperament at all. He doesn't look like the thirty-year-old monk who came from Da Leiyin Tower. He was entrusted with important tasks by the national teacher at such an age. He seems a bit too young... to enter the middle school.
The military tent had naturally undergone interrogation and identity verification before, so there was no possibility of counterfeiting. Wanggu temporarily suppressed his doubts and greeted him with a smile.
After talking for a while, Wanggu Living Buddha’s doubts were gone. The young monk was not amazing in appearance, but his conversational skills and knowledge were really good. Although he was still young, he already had the air of a senior monk when he spoke. Such a disciple could not be compared to anyone in the world.
Every temple has outstanding talents, and Da Leiyintai is truly extraordinary.
On the contrary to Bojie's stinginess and arrogance, at least on the surface, Wanggu Living Buddha is a humble person. Although this invasion is just to get what he needs, or it is a deal with ulterior motives, he still pays homage to the national master.
I would like to express my respect and gratitude for the internal support arranged by the National Division, which allowed the ghost soldiers to march straight in, fight and rob them all the way. The ghost soldiers gained a lot, and the losses were almost negligible.
But unexpectedly, when this topic was brought up, a flash of sadness suddenly flashed in Monk Tianqiong's eyes. Wanggu's gaze was so remarkable that he immediately caught the slight change in the other person's expression and asked immediately: "What's wrong, Master?"
Monk Tianqiong shook his head slightly and said: "The Living Buddha does not know that the monk has violated the master's order."
His disobedience of his teacher's orders had nothing to do with Wanggu, but what puzzled the living Buddha was that logically, Tianqiong and himself had nothing to do with this kind of thing.
Wang Gu smiled but did not say anything. Tian Qiong continued: "According to Master's prior arrangements, I should have come to meet with the Living Buddha a day or two ago, not now."
Wang Gu responded: "It's only one or two days apart, is there any difference?"
Monk Tianqiong shook his head: "It's not much different from a living Buddha, but I will die."
His words became more and more strange as he spoke. Wang Gu calmed down and said, "Master, please speak slowly."
But Tianqiong ignored it and changed the topic: "Your army is invincible as it marches eastward. I wonder if the living Buddha has ever paid attention to one detail?"
After saying that, Tian Qiong picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water. When he put the cup down again, his face changed into a smile. Although it was light, the happiness from the depth of his eyes was unmistakable, happily.
The answer was given: "The Yan soldiers have been defeated, and they have been defeated, but they are just rout and escape, rather than disastrous defeats. The ghost soldiers continue to win battles, but basically, how many Yan soldiers have you really killed?"
"Ghost Soldiers" is Chai Tso Datta's name for Wanggu's rebels. It is a completely contemptuous name. Tianqiong suddenly changed his tone and his attitude was self-evident. However, Wanggu did not become angry but became calmer: "What on earth do you want?"
say what?"
"Shang Shang Great Yan, how can we allow you fanzi who can't even survive in the fanzi group to cause trouble?" Tian Qiong said like a tongue twister, Tian Qiong looked very happy: "I want to come to Yan to plunder the land, the Living Buddha is shrewd,
I’m getting old but I’m so blinded by my thoughts that I can’t go back.”
Wanggu jumped to his feet, not wanting to waste time with Tian Qiong for the time being. He turned around and ordered the army to break out of camp immediately... But before the soldiers could take the order and leave, an earth-shattering sound suddenly rose outside.
There was a cry of killing. I don’t know if it was the Great Yan Xiong soldiers who had been ambushing me for a long time or who were quietly covering up and killing them. They were covering them up like a tide!
At this time, Tianqiong had been pinned to the ground by Wanggu's soldiers. This person was not proficient in martial arts and had no power to fight back. In fact, it was useless even if he had excellent martial arts. Although the Yan army surrounded him, he was in the center of the enemy camp.
, there are tens of thousands of soldiers out there, no matter how good their martial arts skills are, they can't even hope to survive.
Tian Qiong was pushed to the ground, his hands were behind his back and his shoulder bones were making a cracking sound. However, there was no trace of pain on his face. He still looked at Wanggu with a smile on his face, repeating what he just said: "I came a day or two late, and I'm here with you."
For you, the difference is not big, but for me, it is certain death. Now do you understand the difference?"
The soldiers outside are panicking to meet the enemy. The general has not been able to find a breakthrough yet, so he has not rushed to lead the leader to escape. Wanggu is not in a hurry. After being a ghost soldier for many years, life and death have long been ignored. He is calm.
Asked Tian Qiong: "Are you from Jingtai or a disciple of the Imperial Master?"
"Disciples of Da Leiyintai, who don't know Emperor Yan Jingtai, only follow the master's decree. They are accepted by Master Sheng Jing. They are lucky in this life. I only hope that they will have such luck again in the reincarnation, and will be forever dedicated to their mentor for three lives and five lives.
Before driving." Tian Qiong answered seriously.
Wang Gu sat down again, and even picked up the tea cup and took a sip. There were shouts and drums outside, but his hand holding the tea cup did not tremble at all. It was just that he didn't notice that he was sitting in the wrong position and was drinking.
It was Tian Qiong's Can Cha: "You are the confidant of the Imperial Preceptor, so it is a trap designed by the Imperial Preceptor to lead me into Dayan? What good will killing me do to him? Just to help get rid of the evil demon Bojie.
I? Has the Great Thunder Sound Pagoda been incorporated into the other courtyard by the Chai Tsoda Pagoda?"
After asking several questions in succession, Tian Qiong just shook his head: "Master's mind is so clear that it is impossible for a monk like you to figure it out. If the living Buddha has time after his death, you might as well think about it slowly."
With a thud, Wang Gu finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and put the teacup on the table: "In any case, Shengjing colluded with me, a foreign enemy, to make Dayan suffer the disaster of war. Over the years, he has sent me letters
Seventy-three letters, I hid them in various places. As long as there is no news from me for seventy days, these letters will be spread all over the world. Soon everyone will know about the treachery of the demon monk Shengjing...
After we broke up, he hurt me, do you think he will end well?"
Tian Qiong suddenly burst into laughter: "Living Buddha, are you begging me for mercy? Or to put it more nicely, are you trying to bargain with me to get your life back based on your last leverage?"
Wanggu was exposed, and his voice was low: "What's the use of my own life? If he still wants to gain fame in the future, he will let my army leave, and my army and horses will return to the plateau. They will just pretend that they have never been to Dayan and have never been with Sheng
What has Jing Tu planned? How about it?"
Tian Qiong's laughter became louder and louder: "Why don't you think about it? Master dares to write to you, why are you afraid that you will go out on business? Why don't you think about it? Master ordered me to come early, but I delayed it on purpose.
Don’t you understand? Master, you don’t know that I am in your camp now. The soldiers and horses outside will not pay attention to me. Even if I am suffering from heart failure and am willing to run out and kneel in front of the Yan army to beg you, they will not
Pay attention, you will definitely die tonight, and I have no intention of living again."
The way to encircle an army is to hide gaps in a circle. When fighting a siege, the attacking army will usually deliberately leave a gap to allow the enemy to escape. If there is no way to escape, the enemy will fight to the death, even if the battle is won.
It is also possible to injure the enemy by 10,000 and lose 8,000 by leaving a path, which can greatly demoralize the enemy. As for the defeated troops who have escaped, they can be rounded up and hunted down later. By then they will almost have no fighting capacity.
But this is a way of fighting against the same race. The troops of the same race come from the people, and they will gradually return to the people after they disperse. But for the foreigners, they are deep in the Yan realm, and their hometown is thousands of miles away. They never want to go back in their lifetime. They escape.
There is only one way out in the end: turn into a gangster and live one day at a time.
Naturally, the Yan people would not leave them alive and disturb the people again. They were surrounded by a large array like iron barrels. The general's order to the captain was: 54,000 thieves. In the future, I will hand over 54,000 pills to the court.
If I can't collect enough heads from the thieves, I can only get them from you.
At this point, Wanggu, who had escaped many times from being encircled and suppressed by the Tubo army, probably understood that his old fate must be handed over to Dayan. But when he was about to die, what he did not expect was that...
What worried him was no longer the ambition and domination, but the young monk in front of him... Wanggu looked at Tianqiong: "I still don't understand why you came here to die on your own.
?”
"Buried with him." Tian Qiong didn't hide it.
Wanggu asked: "Who are you buried with?"
"Da Leiyin Tai." It was still an inexplicable answer, and Tian Qiong burst into tears.
