When Temujin died, the morale of the Mongols suddenly disappeared.
The originally arrogant Mongolian soldiers all seemed to have had their bones removed.
Several famous generals were the first to be attacked, and soon went to Temujin below.
None of this had much to do with Li Yu. After killing Temujin, he fainted from exhaustion not long after returning to the city.
When Li Yu woke up again, Tang Jun had already chased him out.
Once the offensive and defensive momentum changes, just like Huo Qubing and Xin Qiji attacking Huanglong Mansion, the Tang and Song Dynasty allied forces here want to pursue them.
Although the Ligustrum people were also severely injured, it was their general who died, and Wanyan Aguda did not die.
As long as Wanyan Aguda is still around, even if Shazai Du is killed, they will make a comeback.
Li Yu knew this very well, so when he met frontline generals several times, he warned everyone not to take it lightly.
At this time, on the vast grassland, the defeated Mongolian army was fleeing. What was more uncomfortable than the defeat was that they had lost their faith.
Their so-called faith has collapsed.
The originally stern Mongolian cavalry only had the instinct to escape. Even if a small group of men and horses caught up, they had lost the courage to resist a counterattack.
All the cavalry were like pieces of wood, with their souls lost and their eyes dull.
They couldn't see where they would be tomorrow, their eyes were dim, and only the scene of their Khan being killed was left.
At this time, in a small courtyard in Xiazhou City, the faint smell of agarwood floated in the air.
This small courtyard is built on a hill in the city. Although it is not high, it can overlook the entire city. The courtyards and pavilions in the garden are all available.
Under a weeping willow tree, leaning slantingly, is a large bluestone. Under the stone, a turbulent and clear river flows, about one person deep and four feet in diameter.
The three-legged crane and lacquered gold incense burner emits light smoke. Only when you look closely can you see that it is water mist.
Next to Concubine Xiang, lying on the bamboo couch, was a somewhat weak Li Yu. This battle had consumed too much of his energy.
Pan Jinlian stayed by his side, constantly repairing Li Yu's meridians with the power of water spirit.
In the distance, Lin Daiyu and Zhao Fujin were playing and playing. The two girls were already in their early stages of growth. Their steps were light, like willow branches swaying in the wind, and their postures were extremely graceful.
At this time, a monk walked up the path.
"Zen Master Xuanzang is here."
Li Yu said calmly without opening his eyes.
Pan Jinlian was a little unhappy. This monk always liked to run here when he had nothing to do. I wonder if brother Li Yu needs some training.
Soon, Xuanzang entered the small courtyard. Li Yu pretended to be asleep and did not open his eyes and get up.
"Zen Master, my brother is asleep."
Pan Jinlian stood up and said.
Xuanzang smiled and said: "No problem, I'm just waiting here."
Li Yu stretched out, looking like he was just waking up from a big dream, and pretended to say: "Ah, Zen Master is here, Lian'er, what's the matter with you? Why don't you wake me up."
Pan Jinlian lowered her head, hiding her unbearable smile, and whispered: "The Zen Master has just arrived."
"My dear brother, your efforts to slay demons and defend the Way are indeed of immeasurable merit."
"Zen Master's words are serious."
Now that Li Yu has no need of Xuanzang, he simply doesn't pretend to be brothers. The two of them are sworn brothers and are purely using each other.
To say that they have any deep feelings is nonsense.
They are just using each other and scheming against each other.
Speaking of which, Li Yu is still a little afraid of Xuanzang. This kid doesn't know what he wants to do, but his ambition is not small.
Li Yu became more and more suspicious that Jin Chanzi and Xuanzang were actually the same person.
As for the external incarnation, Li Yu felt that it was probably a more advanced clone technique.
He needed two identities, so he had Xuanzang and Jin Chanzi.
If Li Yu's conjecture is correct, then this monk is too terrible. He uses two identities to take Buddhism into his own hands.
The last person to have such a scheming thought was probably the ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas, Ran Deng.
Xuanzang sat down on a stone bench and said slowly: "Brother, when we leave the capital, we are ordered by His Majesty to attack Temujin. Now that Temujin is dead, my Buddhist disciples are also preparing to
I'm back to Chang'an. I learned that my dear brother is recovering here, so I came here to say goodbye."
Xuanzang and his Buddhist disciples definitely didn’t make a splash this time. They played an important role in the early stage.
Under Xuanzang's command, there are now a large number of outstanding Buddhists in the Central Plains, all of whom are eminent monks whose cultivation is unfathomable.
They are of limited use when the army is charging into battle, but they can work wonders in spying on intelligence and assassinating generals.
Despite the fact that Buddhist practices became very benevolent after being introduced to the Central Plains, in fact they were very aggressive in Tianzhu, and Buddhists were often the local ruling class.
When Li Yu heard this, he immediately said: "Thanks to my brother's men this time, I hope I will have the opportunity to see you all again in the future and make new achievements."
Xuanzang smiled and said nothing. He looked at Li Yu and said: "I heard that the Buddhas in the Western Heavens tried to take back Lingshan Mountain in Tianzhu, but more than half of them were killed by the Shu Kingdom. My dear brother has always been a guest of the kings and ministers of the Shu Kingdom, and he was very close to the Shu Emperor.
I have a close personal relationship with Marquis Zhuge Wu, have you ever heard of this matter?"
Li Yu shook his head slightly, "I have been in the north recently, often fighting with others, and I really don't know what is going on in the south. However, when we attacked Lingshan, the Buddhas in the West had no power to fight back. How dare we provoke Xi Shu now."
"Lü Meng crossed the river in white clothes in the previous chapter, which may have given them some reasons to take action." Xuanzang said: "If the wise brother meets the Lord of Shu, please give a word to the foolish brother, saying that there are many people in the Leiyin Temple in Lingshan, Xitian.
Buddhist scriptures are very precious, and we monks from the Central Plains are willing to pay to redeem them."
"I will definitely bring it."
Li Yu said with a smile.
Xuanzang was 80% able to get back the scriptures from Daleiyin Temple, because the Shu Kingdom was very short of supplies. They were short of almost everything.
However, he changed his mind and frowned and said: "Those scriptures in the Western Heaven are not necessarily all the essence, but there are quite a few dross that will poison the Central Plains."
Xuanzang smiled and said: "If I can get back the true scriptures, I will lead the Buddhist disciples to add, delete and modify the scriptures in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. My dear brother, don't worry."
It turns out that this is how the Big Wild Goose Pagoda translated scriptures...
Li Yu gave him a reassurance, looked at Xuanzang and said, "Don't worry, Zen Master, I will definitely give those scriptures to Zen Master.
"I'm a poor monk for the Buddhism in the Central Plains. Thank you very much, dear brother." Xuanzang smiled slightly. He couldn't tell how excited he was, but he was still quite happy.
It was a very wise move for him to come to Li Yu today. Although the name of Zen Master Xuanzang is resounding throughout the world, will those people in Xishu really give him face?
Li Yu felt it was quite embarrassing...
"You're welcome!" Li Yu was very cheerful and didn't say any conditions.
After Xuanzang left, Li Yu looked at his back going down the mountain, somewhat filled with murderous intent.
When Xuanzang's figure completely disappeared, Li Yu stood up from the bamboo couch.
He has been cultivating these days, and Li Yu has recovered to the fullest.
Li Yu looked at the sky. At this time, a huge Yuanfu fairy boat had taken off in the sky. It seemed that the Tang army wanted to use this thing to chase and kill it.
I have to say, this is a very good idea.
Racing against the Mongols in the desert is not a good idea.
In the Yuanfu Immortal Boat, the armies of the Tang and Song dynasties wore armor and were ready to fight. As long as they encountered the main Mongolian force, they could come down and fight.
Even if you don't encounter them, you can solve these problems from the root when you see their tribe.
The first actual battle of the Yuanfu Immortal Boat had just arrived, and Li Yu was not worried about its usefulness at all.
This thing was made by Zhuge Liang and his wife. Li Yu didn't know the art of mechanism, but he absolutely believed in Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying.
Since they said this thing is good, then of course it is.
As a small country with few people, Shu is best at making the most of all its resources.
They cannot afford any waste.
But now the situation is a little different, because Xishu has captured Tianzhu.
This is a huge territory. In the original land of Tianzhu, it can be said that everything is available.
The fact that Tianzhu and Buddhism can behave like this shows that they are not good enough and are wasting the resources of this place.
Now that he has returned to Xishu, it is truly a two-level reversal.
In the past, there were good people in Tianzhu, but now the people in Tianzhu are good and smart.
"The great monk did well this time. He didn't waste my brother's time too much." Pan Jinlian said with a smile.
Li Yu smiled slightly. If Xuanzang just wanted to delay his time, then Li Yu didn't care at all.
It's okay to hang out with him for a few days, but I'm afraid that the monk doesn't have good intentions.
Li Yu now believes that Jin Chanzi and Xuanzang are the same person, and that he deliberately set them up.
His fear of Xuanzang was undisguised, and the latter could definitely feel it.
But Xuanzang still came here every day.
Like Li Yu, he can do many things for the goal in his heart.
Even if you bow your head temporarily.
This kind of character is very common in ordinary people, but it is often not seen in great heroes.
Li Yu put his hand on Pan Jinlian's shoulder and walked a few steps. Pan Jinlian kept matching his steps with small steps.
At this time, footsteps sounded again on the path.
There were a lot of people coming back this time, but Li Yu could still clearly distinguish everyone's footsteps. He smiled bitterly and said, "Li Shimin is here too."
This person Pan Jinlian didn't dare to complain, or even slander him, because he was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Sure enough, Li Shimin hurried over with a group of people.
He didn't go to the Yuanfu Immortal Boat. It seemed that he had sent someone else to take charge. Li Yu looked around and found no Li Ji.
Li Shimin was here, and it stands to reason that Li Ji would have been with him the whole time. Since he was not here, he could only pursue him.
"Your Majesty." Li Yu cupped his hands as a greeting.
Li Shimin smiled and said: "It seems that the Taoist Master is recovering well."
Li Yu secretly thought in his heart that Dzogchen's Water-Character Jue healed injuries very quickly, but he was seriously injured, and his meridians were severely impacted when he fed the Nine-section Staff.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders when you come here?" Li Yu said very wisely: "I will definitely handle it for Your Majesty."
Li Shimin's eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He did not answer Li Yu's question, but asked instead: "Did Zen Master Xuanzang come just now?"
"Your Majesty is wise, he just left."
Li Shimin nodded, hummed softly, and then said: "Zen Master Xuanzang has made a great wish to cross 360 tribes. However, he does not have the Yuan Fu Immortal Boat. Today he led the monks to withdraw from the northwest and return to Chang'an.
."
It turned out that he was looking for information. Xuanzang's Ten Directions Bodhisattva was in Chang'an City, which has become a new Buddhist holy place. Countless eminent monks came from all over the country to Chang'an, hoping to hear Xuanzang, the only true Buddha in the world.
Zen Master's sermon.
Xuanzang's ability to open forums and lecture on scriptures is indeed unique. There is no one in the world who can reach his level.
If there really was an unobstructed conference, Xuanzang would definitely be the center of attention as long as he participated. He was very suitable for this kind of forum to lecture on Buddhism.
Because he really has his own theory of Buddhism, rather than citing scriptures.
Li Yu, Xuanzang, and Li Shimin were all sworn brothers, but their relationship with each other was not at all like that of brothers.
It's not because of anything else, but their motive for becoming sworn friends is not pure in the first place, they are all just to take advantage of each other.
This kind of sworn brotherhood can be maintained even if nothing happens on weekdays, but if something happens, he will be the first to take action.
Li Yu shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it yet."
Li Shimin is a good emperor, no matter in every aspect, he is a good emperor.
He understands the principle of making the best use of everything. A good king does not need to be diligent, kind, or greedy for wine and lust, but there is one thing he must do, and that is to use people.
The way a king employs people is the key to determining the rise and fall of a dynasty.
Li Shimin can be regarded as a perfect emperor in this aspect.
In his original plan, he sent secret messages to Xuanzang and the Buddhists, hoping that they could continue to use their remaining energy.
But Xuanzang did not choose to stay. He had already gone to Chang'an under the cover of translating scriptures.
Pan Jinlian brought a tea tray with two cups of tea on it, which was the tea of the Song Dynasty.
Li Shimin pushed the lid of the cup to spread the water vapor and said, "Has he come to see the Taoist Master?"
Li Yu nodded.
Li Shimin pondered: "This person's behavior seems to be very reasonable, but have you found a flaw?"
Li Yu shook his head and said, "I didn't find it."
"I discovered that the biggest problem with Zen Master Xuanzang is that he is too perfect, without any flaws. It is impossible for one person to do this easily, either they are really working together, like the group of people in Xishu, or they are
I have something to hide."
Li Yu told everything he knew and said that Xuanzang asked him to help him get scriptures.
Li Yu thought it was normal for Xuanzang to ask for scriptures. He really organized the scriptures from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and then added, deleted, and supplemented them. It was easy to incorporate his own ideas into it.
From now on, what everyone in Central Plains Buddhism believes in is probably the Mahayana Buddhism which was added or deleted by Xuanzang.
On that day, Buddhism will be engraved with Xuanzang’s mark from inside to outside, from front to back.
In this era of great strife, Li Yu actually didn't quite understand Xuanzang's approach. Is it really that important to lead Buddhism?
Li Yu never pursued this kind of thing. Even if someone really told him that he could control all Taoist sects, Li Yu would probably refuse with a wave of his hand.
It's enough to take care of just one person, but if you take care of the whole world, wouldn't that mean you'd be exhausted to death?
