Chinese dining table

Chapter 572 Expected and Unexpected
It was actually quite easy to preach in the Tang Dynasty, because people’s spiritual world at this time was very empty, and the Caotou God believed by the indigenous people was not a big religion with organization, discipline, content, methods, and money. genre rivals.

Obviously, after Naha's actions, people will feel that Buddhism is very advanced, and Gaochang itself is a place where Buddhism flourishes.

Naha showed all kinds of miracles again, and entertained the believers with a meal of porridge made from various beans with some grains offered by the believers.

The status of Buddhism in Gaochang was once again elevated.

Those criminals who were imprisoned by Zhang Donghai and then released by Naha's orders have already become Naha's fanatics.

During the days when Zhang Donghai controlled Gaochangsai, everyone they knew was killed one by one, and their homes were ransacked one by one. When they were imprisoned, everyone was actually desperate.

Falling into the hands of Baiqisi, there is absolutely no reason to live.

But at this time, after seeing their tragic situation, a holy girl holding a lotus flower allowed them to see the light of day again and escape from the sky with a single sentence.

Such a good saint, such a good Buddha, there is no reason not to worship, and there is no reason not to worship.

"I knew that Naha was more useful than you. When I went to Jiaohe City, I should have begged Naha instead of looking for you."

Fangzheng, who consciously escaped from birth, was less servile and more of the rascal in the past when he talked to Yunchu.

"What is the origin of this Master Fahua?" Rourou was already a little anxious. He always thought that Master Fahua was a great monk. This kind of guy who can act recklessly in the Western Regions is so scared that he peed his pants.

He didn't even care about such a big matter as collecting money for the emperor.

In the evening, Naha, who had worked hard all day, returned to the room weakly, took a good bath under the service of the newly hired maid, and went to Yunchu's room for dinner before her hair was dry.

"Do you know the origin of Master Fahua?"

"He is a very old monk. One day after Master Xuanzang went to Qujiang Palace to meet the queen, he brought this old monk here and asked me to listen to his arrangements along the way.

I didn't like his always gloomy face, but Li Hong told me that with Master Fahua around, I can do whatever I want in the Western Regions. "

After hearing Naha's words, Yun Chu coughed, put down the rice bowl in his hand and said, "Tell me if this kind of thing happens again in the future."

Naha hugged her job bowl and said, "He's just an old monk who doesn't like to talk, what do you think he does?"

Yun Chu originally wanted to explain the key points to Naha, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was unnecessary. Maybe that gloomy woman likes Naha's innocence.

She can forgive Naha's unintentional mistakes. If Naha becomes smarter one day, she might face Naha with a different attitude. If this is the case, it will be worse.

Wu Mei is very cruel to men, and she doesn't treat women who don't deal with them as human beings at all.

Other people's affairs may be based on rumors, but what happened to Jin Yutong was what he saw with his own eyes.

A woman as beautiful as a flower, was tortured into a skeleton-like person by her words.

The Westward Journey of Buddhism is a plan launched by the emperor, empress, and Xuanzang many years ago. When it comes to priorities, it must be above the tasks of Zhang Donghai and the others.

Master Fahua, as a key figure in the westward journey of Buddhism, must have great power in his hands, and may even be the first decision-maker of the emperor and empress in the Western Regions.

Otherwise, a person like Zhang Donghai who has experienced bloody battlefields would not be frightened like that.

The political significance of Buddhism going west is to create a basic reason for the Western Regions to be accepted by the Tang Dynasty.

This is a big game of chess.

It seems that Li Zhi has begun to prepare for the Western Regions.

Thinking of this, Yunchu started to get angry with Pei Xingjian again. What does it mean to eat, drink, be calm, and deal with the affairs of the Western Regions in a peaceful manner?

This is clearly a clear instruction from the emperor that they should not do whatever they want in the Western Regions in the future, and must take unity and stability as the first element.

He knew it clearly, but he didn't tell Yunchu, Wen Rou and the others, maybe he was still secretly happy, waiting for Yunchu and the others to use extremely rough methods to make money in the Western Regions.

"None of them are reliable." Yun Chu told Wen Rou about his discovery while drinking tea.

Wenrou didn't seem surprised by Yunchu's discovery at all, she tidied up the paperwork on the table and said: "Then hurry up, don't go around in Xizhou, we have to go west immediately, follow Pei Xingjian's footsteps and arrive as soon as possible Go to Kucha."

"Aren't you going to search for Gao Changsai?"

"After searching, there are quite a few people who are willing to do business with us. With Naha here, the merchants in Gaochang Saili are also willing to go west with us."

Yunchu looked around and saw Zhong Kui, then smiled and said, "Old Zhong is so beaten that he doesn't want to show his face?"

Gentlely said: "No, he is writing a letter to Li Chunfeng, hoping that Li Chunfeng can persuade the old gods to find some Taoist priests with medical skills to enter the Western Regions to preach medicine.

In order to prevent the people of the Western Regions from being tormented to death by Naha and other liars, he also said that today, Naha still uses the soup and medicine prescriptions obtained from the old gods, and the rag monks treat the people.

In addition, after Naha arrives in Kucha, she will recruit a large number of dancers and musicians, and prepare to reorganize the Buddhist "Twelve Music", and turn Buddhism into music, singing and dancing, so that more people can feel the Buddha. of greatness. "

Yun Chu looked tenderly and said, "Is this Naha's idea?"

With a gentle expression on her face, she said, "Whether it's Naha's idea or not, it's all Naha's credit."

Speaking of this, Rourou suddenly became excited again, pointed at the table with her finger and shouted: "We can be said to be painstakingly accomplished all these years, right?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Devotion to death is not enough to describe the painstaking efforts we have poured into Chang'an."

Wenrou said with a smile: "Now, your Naha is about to become the Buddha Lord of the Western Regions, don't you feel depressed?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "I'm happy to see it succeed."

Rourou also felt that it was unreasonable for her to get angry, she stroked the stubble that had just grown on her chin and said, "It's really unreasonable."

On the second day of October, Yunchu's brigade left Gaochangsai, stepped on the dry white grass, and headed west all the way to Kucha and Khotan.

When there is no wind in the Western Regions, riding on the back of a camel is actually a kind of enjoyment. When the camel advances, it holds its head high and walks very rhythmically.

The back of a camel is much wider than that of a war horse. After adding a camel saddle, a platform will appear on the camel's back.

Three people can ride on one platform, and some people from the Western Regions can even sit on this small platform, playing the piano and singing at the same time, to pass the boring time on the journey.

The land of the Western Regions, like the land of Longzhong, is broken. However, due to the huge land of the Western Regions, the degree of fragmentation here is far less than that of Longzhong, and the gullies are not as dense as Longzhong.

There are some flat lands that make people wish to sleep here forever, and the tinkling camel bells become a movement that shakes the soul.

Leaving the Huoyan Mountain, there are more withered vegetation on the land. On the edge of some waterways, you can even see large expanses of Populus euphratica forests, red willow forests, and sandy date forest belts.

The further you go west, the taller trees gradually increase. On the edge of the snow-capped mountains on the horizon, you can even see large, large pine forests.

"Ah—" the Western Region singer on the camel sang a long-tuned Western Region song.

However, the content is always the same, either the legendary gods and demons bless the people, or the clear spring on the oasis nourishes his heart, or how many beautiful girls he has slept with, and he still misses the girl from far away for a second, and the next In a second, he saw his favorite person again.

Just when Yunchu was so sleepy and Wenrou heard it that he wanted to slash someone violently, three black dots suddenly appeared on the horizon.

Behind these three black spots, followed by the scouts sent by Yunchu and the others, the scouts seemed very nervous, not daring to approach the three black spots, and seemed reluctant to stay away from them, it looked weird.

After the three black dots slowly approached the caravan, Rourou saw clearly what was on the opposite side and roared, "I knew it was like this!"

Even Yunchu, a native of the Western Regions, saw the three black dots slowly turning into three pure white camels, opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it anymore.

Yunchu knew how dirty and smelly camels were, but the three white camels, one big, two small, appeared in front of him completely overturned Yunchu's understanding of camels.

The three white camels didn't have a single hair on their bodies, which Yun Chu recognized, but since there wasn't even a hair on the three white camels, Yun Chu couldn't understand.

The most exaggerated thing is that the white camel's fat hoof, which is divided into two parts, is also spotless. Whenever the camel lifts its fat and juicy hoof to the ground, the contact area will increase rapidly, and it will change step by step. Unmistakable elegance.

That's right, a fool can see enough kingly spirit from these three white camels.

In addition, it held its head high, looking into the distance with the proud gaze of beating all living beings, but turned a blind eye to the caravan that was close at hand.

Some barbarians from the Western Regions in the caravan started to jump off their camels, or their horses, and knelt down on the side of the road to worship the three camels.

Naha stood on the saddle of a camel, bouncing and beckoning to the three camels.

Then, in the gentle expression of tearing eyes, the three white camels with snowy brows and elf-like eyes slowly knelt down at Naha's feet...

"I knew—" she said softly and weakly.

Surrounded by a crowd of kneeling barbarians, Naha jumped off the dirty camel that Naha disliked even though it was washed clean, and embraced the white camel in the middle with open arms.

"Hey, Lao Zhong, is this hand more powerful than your ability to slay ghosts?" Wen Rou felt unbalanced, and always wanted to stir up some disputes or something, so as to calm down his jealous heart that was about to break.

Zhong Kui closed his eyes and turned a deaf ear.

Yunchu looked at Naha with a smile, and told those barbarians in a serious manner that she had a dream last night, and dreamed that the Buddha would reward her with three white camels. "

"She's lying!" Gentleness firmly defined Naha's behavior.

Fahua, Jueming and other masters didn't seem to doubt it at all. They also jumped off the camel, sat around the white camel and began to chant sutras.

The wind on the Gobi blew from afar, blowing away the thick white hair under the white camel's neck, and then, with sharp eyes, saw the one-foot-tall golden Buddha.

"I knew—" the gentle lips trembled and said to Yun Chu.

　see you tomorrow
