Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"You mean... the Dou Zhan Buddha is also here?"

"Of course not. Among the four people traveling west, only Master Xuanzang is here. However, who told you that there are only Master Xuanzang and his disciples among the living Buddhas?"

"Anyone else? Who?"

"That's too many, but if you want to say that it's not far from here and can help, there's really only one."

"Where is this person?"

Guo Ye stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance, saying: "Look into the distance..."

"no!"

"Look closer."

"Nearby...the one you're talking about can't be you..."

Guo Ye pulled his chest out and said: "That's natural! You just saw that Master Xuanzang and I call brothers and brothers, why is that? We are a Duke of the Tang Dynasty and an ordinary monk. Normally, we should not know each other very well. How could it be?" So there is friendship?"

"You mean...you are all Buddhas?"

"Right. Let me tell you a secret. Don't tell others... I am the incarnation of Medicine Master Wangfo!"

"Just pull it down. I've heard people say that you do have some miraculous qualities, but that is taught by the Supreme Lord. The Supreme Lord belongs to the Taoist school, and the medicine master Wang Fo belongs to the Buddhist school! "

"Uh..." Unexpectedly, this guy really knew him well, Guo Ye pondered for a while, and said, "Have you heard the Bianwen of "Buddha is the Way?"

"Of course I did."

"That's fine. I turned a beard into a Buddha, and I was Sakyamuni's teacher. What's wrong with him accepting another Medicine Master Bodhisattva as his disciple? This is like driving a sheep and leading two sheep."

Seeing Yelu Ashin's bewildered expression, Guo Ye waved his hand and continued: "The things here are too complicated for you to understand, how can one or two Bianwen explain clearly what happened between us gods and immortals?" ? All in all, I am the incarnation of Medicine King Bodhisattva, there is no mistake."

Yelu Axin scratched his head, and said, "When your upper lip touches your lower lip, your mouth is empty and your teeth are empty. It just makes me believe that you are the incarnation of Buddha. It always feels a bit wrong..."

"You are right to think so. I don't blame you. As the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Whether I am the incarnation of Medicine Master King Bodhisattva, I can't tell, I have to show you."

"You want to perform a spell?"

"Of course not! Isn't it explained in "Journey to the West"? The incarnation itself has very low magic power, not much stronger than ordinary people. I showed this skill, of course, not performing magic, but without using magic, I can restrain the sores on the ghost face! "

"Can you really restrain ghost face sores?"

"That's natural. When we met just now, didn't I just say it?"

Guo Ye sighed, and continued: "We are destined to meet each other. Originally, I wanted to save your tribe without revealing my identity. Unexpectedly, you took my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs. You have no choice but to expose yourself true identity."

Yelu Axin was full of suspicion, and said, "You really don't want to find out about my sister's whereabouts?"

Guo Ye stared, and said: "Forget it, medicine and medicine can never kill people, and Buddha has a destiny. Since you don't believe me, why should I ask for trouble? Master Xuanzang, let's go!"

That's how people are, only when they are lost can they feel precious.Seeing that Guo Ye and his party turned around and left without delay.

Yelu Axin quickly stopped them, knelt down on the ground, and said, "Wangfo Yaoshi, go slowly! I know I'm wrong, and I hope you don't count the faults of villains, and don't be as knowledgeable as me. I kowtow to you."

Guo Ye didn't really want to leave, he just left. Where did he find the vaccinia vaccine?How will the plan to stabilize Khitan be carried out?Does this still require the cooperation of the person in front of me?

He said: "Good, good! Knowing your mistakes can make a big difference. In this case, you lead the way and find me all the cows infected with ghost face sores?"

"What? Cow? Lord Buddha, are you right? It is true that many cows are also infected with ghost face sores, but... this disciple thinks that people are more important, right?"

Guo Ye smiled slightly and said, "What do you know? You can see ghosts if you put cow's tears on people's eyes. What does this mean? Cows can communicate Yin and Yang. If you want to deal with the devil from hell, you must pass the test of a cow." .”

"real or fake?"

"If you don't believe me, I'm leaving now, and you can fend for yourself."

"No...the disciple doesn't doubt you. What I mean is...you can see a ghost if you put cow's tears on your eyes?"

"You can try it, and remember the key point—sincerity leads to success!"

……

Guo Ye's so-called method of restraining smallpox, of course, refers to vaccination.This is not complicated at all.It is nothing more than making a cross wound on the patient's arm, and then smearing the vaccinia slurry on it.

Vaccination technology can really be called a layer of window paper, which can be broken when poked.However, it is such a simple window paper that has plagued the ancestors for thousands of years and caused hundreds of millions of deaths.

If it hadn't been for Guo Ye's time travel, it would have been hundreds of years later in the Song Dynasty that someone in China would have invented the immunization against smallpox. As for the large-scale promotion, it would be more than 1000 years later.

It was also inspired by Chinese pox. After more than 100 years, a British talent in the West invented the vaccinia immunization method.

People in later generations are ignorant and think that the so-called method of preventing smallpox was created by Westerners.In fact, it is not true, they are just out of blue.

The old foundation for truly restraining smallpox was born in China.

Closer to home, although Guo Ye has planted "pox" on everyone, in fact, he still has reservations about the spread of this technology.

He asked all the inoculated people to cover their eyes when they were vaccinated. Only his twenty personal guards really mastered this technique.Including Master Xuanzang, they don't know much about the details.

Of course, it's not that he wants to profit from this technology.At his wealth status, the amount of money is nothing more than a number.

It's not because Khitan will become the enemy of future generations, so he doesn't want to leak this epoch-making technology.

As long as this prairie is still there, even if there is no Khitan, there will be other prairie peoples to fill the gap.Taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, they went south in a big way.

If you had to choose one, it would be better for Khitan, who is deeply influenced by Buddhism, to do it.In terms of cruelty, the Khitan can be regarded as the lowest among the nations that are enemies of China.

Besides, the diffusion of technology is difficult to be transferred by human will.

An important reason for the slow spread of smallpox in history is that it is too toxic and has a high mortality rate.

But vaccinia does not have this problem. This technology is safe and has no technical content. As long as it is widely promoted in Han, it is almost certain that it will be introduced to Khitan.

Why should Guo Ye be a villain in vain?

What really made him do it was that he didn't feel like the timing was right.

Now, Goguryeo's envoys have entered Khitan, who knows what the top Khitan officials think?If they are worried about dying, are they ready to help Goguryeo?

Guo Ye would not only put his hopes on his three-inch tongue, and the epidemic of smallpox was a good breakthrough.

Smallpox is prevalent in Yelu Axin's tribe, but what about other tribes?If so, that's easy.He didn't even need to say anything, Khitan couldn't send troops.

Even if the other tribes are safe and sound, isn't it still possible to spread rumors?With the case of smallpox first, how dare the Khitan gather an army at this time?
