Yang Shouwen never expected that the famous yellow-bearded leader of Anxi would be a woman!
However, he remained calm and inserted his nine-ring tin staff down on the ground beside him, folded his hands and bowed slightly.
"I called an ambulance from the East and wanted to follow Master Sanzang to go to the West to seek Dharma.
I passed by this place, so I stayed here. I dare to ask the donor to come and try to siege me, what does it mean?”
"Are you a Buddhist disciple?"
“That’s right.”
"What sutra can be recited and what method can be practiced?"
The yellow-bearded leader seemed to be very interested in Buddhist disciples, so he asked.
But Yang Shouwen knew that if he answered wrongly, he might cause death.
So he clasped his hands together and said, "I am foolish and rude, and I have recited the Lankavatara Sutra and practiced the Zen of reciting Buddha."
"Oh? Then what kind of Buddha can you recite?"
"Who is the one who recites the Buddha's name in a deep Prajna, and the one who practices Samadhi?"
Yang Shouwen’s Buddhist scriptures in the past six months are not something he can read for nothing.
Not to mention anything else, as a disciple of Shenxiu, he can still catch up and resist the key points of the Dongshan Dharma.
The leader of the yellow beard said: "It turns out that he has cultivated the Buddha of Dongshan."
“That’s right.”
"Monk, then I'll ask you, have you ever seen a caravan from Langshan when you come from Yumen Pass?"
Yang Shouwen said in ten chapters: "What the donor said is a caravan named Basimi Aji?"
“That’s right.”
"I have seen... when I was at Yumen Pass, he invited me to go out with me. However, after I left the customs, I went my separate ways."
"Why?"
"When I left the seclusion, I felt that the donor seemed to be taking advantage of me.
He didn't know what items were hidden in his convoy. Maybe he knew that General Geshu of Yumen Pass liked poetry, but at that time, I saw the scenery of Yumen Pass and wrote a poem on a whim, which made General Geshu valued. So I didn't make things difficult for me.
Monks travel around the world, and what they do is the supreme Buddhist Dharma.
I didn't want to cause trouble, so after realizing that I was being used, I separated from the donor Basimir and took these three disciples on the way. I never saw the donor Basimir again along the way. I guess he had gone another way."
Yang Shouwen talked freely, with a calm expression on his face.
The yellow-bearded leader looked at him, and then swept his eyes over Mingxiu and the other two.
"Monkey. The journey to the west is not safe... I heard from people that there is a book in the Central Plains called "Journey to the West". To sum up the book, there are many monsters and monsters on the journey to the west. Are you not afraid of dying on the journey to the west?"
"If you obtain the supreme Dharma, how can you cherish this body?"
"The great monk is indeed firm in the Buddha's heart. Since that's the case, I wish you a successful journey to the west and a successful achievement of the supreme Dharma you pursue."
As he spoke, Huang Beard raised his hand and threw something out, landing in front of Yang Shouwen.
"If you hold this sign, if you are in danger, you may be able to save your lives."
After saying that, the yellow-bearded leader turned his horse and left.
The sound of the Jie flute sounded again, followed by the whistle. The horse thieves roared, and in the blink of an eye, leaving only the sky full of smoke and dust.
Watching Huang Beard leave, Yang Shouwen felt his legs weak and almost sat on the ground.
Although he was calm just now, after seeing the other party's identity clearly, he felt quite nervous.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I didn't expect that these yellow beards were believers of Allah."
"ah?"
"Didn't you see the flowing beads on her neck? The knotting method is a unique technique for Allah believers... I didn't expect that there were even Allah believers in this Western Region? Could it be that the great man had penetrated into the Western Regions?"
Every religion has its own unique style of flowing beads.
The flowing beads of Buddhist disciples are called rosary beads, and the beads of Taoist disciples are called rosary beads.
It is said that this Buddhist rosary comes from Taoist flowing beads... In addition, Allaes also wear unique styles of flowing beads. At first glance, they look similar to Taoist and Buddhist flowing beads, but if you observe carefully, you can still see the difference.
In 661 AD, the Syrian Governor of the Umayyad family succeeded the Caliph and established the Umayyad dynasty with Damascus as the capital. It was also from that time that the Caliph changed from original election to hereditary, which led to the *************, and the Hebishop began a large-scale military expansion, and its momentum became increasingly greater.
Because the flag of the Umayyad family is white, the Umayyad dynasty was also called the White-clothed Great Food Dynasty in Chinese history.
At this time, the white-clothed food was called the white-clothed food. After occupying Persia, it confronted the Tang Dynasty with the Wuhu River as the boundary and confronted the soldiers.
Anxi mainly focuses on Buddhism and many primitive teachings.
At least in the information of Xiaoluantai, it was recorded like this. But unexpectedly, the famous yellow bearded man was a believer of Allah. This also means that the white-clothed man has begun to penetrate into Anxi and has begun to achieve results.
Mingxiu and Yang Cunzhong obviously do not know about the Hebishops.
No wonder Yang Cunzhong was born in the market and could be said to have been growing up in Luoyang; Mingxiu was born to worship the Tao and may have an understanding of Buddhists, but he obviously did not know much about other religious beliefs, let alone understand them.
In contrast, Yang Shiliu's understanding of Hebishops is obviously more profound.
He heard Yang Shouwen's words and couldn't help but say, "Alang actually knows about God's throne?"
"nonsense."
Yang Shouwen glared at Yang Shiliu and said softly: "The Yellow Beard is a believer of Allah. Why didn't you tell me before?"
Yang Shiliu's head was shaking like a rattle, "I don't know either!
I only heard that yellow beards are rampant, but I don’t know that they are believers of Allah. However, it seems that it is not impossible to think about it. When the yellow beard first appeared, it was in the Kang Kingdom region. There were some believers of Allah in the Kang Kingdom region."
After hearing this, Yang Shouwen couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Wu Zetian asked him to come and find someone, but it was not a very difficult thing.
But now it seems that the Anxi area is probably more chaotic than he imagined. There are not only conflicts and conflicts between various races, but also conflicts and conflicts between religions. It may be difficult to complete Wu Zetian's mission. Moreover, is the disappearance of Jeddah also related to this religion? Why did he disappear?
When Yang Shouwen thought of this, he felt a little overwhelmed.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The road ahead is full of unknowns and dangers.
But for Yang Shouwen and the others, since they have arrived here, there is no other way out and they can only continue.
After resting for a night on the banks of Liugushui River, they continued their trip the next day.
The climate in Anxi is getting hotter and hotter.
The temperature in the Gobi Desert is even more huge in temperature difference between day and night.
It seems like I am holding a stove during the day, but at night, I want to hold another stove.
It was in this changing environment of winter and heat that Yang Shouwen and the other two walked westward and crossed Jinshan, and then entered Tingzhou.
Tingzhou is the Urumqi area in later generations.
After entering Tingzhou, Yang Shouwen clearly felt some differences.
Compared with Guazhou and Yizhou's empty Gobi Desert, Tingzhou is obviously much more lively.
Its ruled only three counties and was originally connected to Gaochang. In the 14th year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty destroyed Gaochang and established Tingzhou. It connected to Yizhou in the east, Gongyue City and Sailyechuan in the west, was also an important military center of the Tang Empire in the north of the Tianshan Mountains.
In the first year of civilization, that is, in the fourth year of 684 AD, the Tang Dynasty set up the Hanhai Army here.
As a result, Tingzhou evolved into a very important trade hub on the Silk Road. It also held the responsibility of governing the tribes of the ten Western Turks, as well as preventing ethnic minorities such as Tuqishi and Jiankun, which had important strategic significance.
The roads became much more open, and the Hu merchants traveled on the roads became much more frequent.
This place is filled with a strong exotic style.
Even those Buddhist temples are different from the temples in the Central Plains, with a shape of a character and are scattered throughout Tingzhou...
Since the establishment of the Beiting Protectorate, the number of patrols traveling to and from Tingzhou official road has also increased.
After Yang Shouwen and his party entered Tingzhou, they also encountered multiple investigations.
Fortunately, their certificates were authentic and there were seals along the way. In addition, the Western Regions itself was a place where Buddhist worship was worshipped, and the monks had a relatively high status. Therefore, although they were investigated, they did not encounter any difficulties.
A few days later, Yang Shouwen and his group bypassed Jinmancheng and came outside the six cities.
These six cities are actually a small town.
However, since the Liucheng City is located in the northwest of Jinman, it is an extremely important pass and has stationed troops, so it has gained a lot of fame.
Yang Shouwen's trip to Liucheng was very clear.
Gai Jiayun once told him that after arriving in Liliucheng, he would find a man named Ma Wei Dao and contact him...
