On the surface, Ashina personally traveled four or five miles from the tribe to greet Wang Junlin. This is Ashina's emphasis on Wang Junlin and his sincerity in cooperating with Wang Junlin.
But Wang Junlin knew that this was not the case. There was a substitute for the poisonous general Zhou Hu in the Western Turkic royal court, but Ashina personally came to greet his real body with great fanfare, which made Wang Junlin quite annoyed. Tong Yehu Khan
There is Ashina's person under King Hado. The former two are more powerful. How can there be no spies around Ashina? Wang Junlin absolutely does not believe it. And as long as this spy sends back the news that the poisonous general has appeared in the Ashina tribe.
, Changsun Sheng and Zhou Hu were unable to explain to Tongyehu Khan and King Bodo.
However, Wang Junlin is not very worried about this matter, because he has never thought of entering the Ashina tribe. Even though the shaman of this tribe is the Sardin master of the Bon religion, and this Sardin guru is his master's
Brother.
"Master, if you really want to help me, please give this secret recipe of poison to Ashina. I will personally indicate the efficacy and usage on it." Wang Junlin took out a note from his arms and handed it to Chang Kuzi.
Chang Kuzi was a little surprised, but he smiled and did not refuse. He took the note and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give this note to Na Shina."
"Master must tell Ashina that there is a secret recipe more poisonous than this, which is in the hands of King Bodo." Wang Junlin added.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and galloped away towards the east.
Ashina saw Wang Junlin leaving from a distance, his face suddenly darkened, and he ordered: "Ubak, you lead three thousand people to chase the poisonous general. Remember to capture him alive and do not kill him."
A captain agreed and led three thousand people to change direction and pursue Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin dared to take the risk and came alone. How could he not be on guard? He took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a green pill that looked ugly, put it into a water bag to dissolve, and let the war horse drink the water in one gulp.
He had been deliberately thirsty for half a day, and the horse quickly drank nearly half of the water in the water bladder.
Then, the war horse raised its head to the sky and let out a long neigh, its eyes began to turn red, and it galloped forward like crazy, nearly twice as fast as usual, and the most important thing was that it never slowed down. The three thousand Turks chasing behind it were originally
There are four miles away from Wang Junlin, but now the distance is getting wider and wider, and soon Wang Junlin disappears from their sight.
The ingredients of later stimulants are not a secret. They can even be searched on Du Niang. Wang Junlin has collected some long ago and mixed them together to make stimulant pills. The effect was tested by him when he was in Gaotaicheng.
So I don't worry about it failing.
Captain Ubak and his men chased him desperately, but still couldn't find Wang Junlin. He could only lead his men back to recover with a look of depression and disbelief.
At this time, Ashina was sitting in his tent, holding the note given by Chang Kuzi, his face uncertain and hesitant.
A literate Han slave next to him had already read it out to him. Many Turks can speak Chinese, but few can read Chinese characters.
After a long silence, Ashina still had not made up his mind. He glanced at the captain next to him and said in a deep voice: "Go, show this secret recipe to Master Sardin, and tell him that King Bodo still has it in his hands.
A more vicious secret recipe, let’s see what he says.”
The captain of ten thousand men bowed and said yes, and then left.
The nomadic people live in pursuit of water and grass, so the Ashina tribe is also next to a lake, but it is much smaller than Chaiwobao Lake where the Western Turkic Royal Court is located, but it is barely enough for the people of the Ashina tribe and their livestock to drink.
There is a hillside at the west end of the small lake, and there is a small temple on the hillside. In the temple lives Master Sardin of the Ashina tribe.
When the Ten Thousand Captain came to this small temple, the Sardinian master, who had a dark face, sunken eyes, and a thin body, was busy.
In front of this small temple, there are piles of bones like a mountain, including those of humans, cattle, sheep, and war horses. From time to time, herdsmen will bring clean bones over, and then they will kneel down to Master Sardin and then quietly
Leave.
The Sardinian master of the Bon religion was using these dead bones and skeletons to build a throne composed of skeletons and white bones beside the small temple.
When the Ten Thousand Captain came, the throne had already taken its initial shape, and every bone had been cleaned by the believers to be extremely clean. However, Master Sardin also used red sandstone to remove the remaining residue from the scalp of each skull.
After cleaning up a bit of hair until the skull became as white as new, the Bon Sardin master would find a suitable place to place the skull.
At the entrance of the small temple, Chang Kuzi was sitting cross-legged. Looking at the bone throne, he felt a terrifying and eerie beauty. Then, he glanced at the Captain of Ten Thousands who was walking over, closed his eyes slightly, and began to practice. He came to the west
Turk, in fact, did not just follow Wang Junlin, but to practice cultivation with the help of the inexplicable aura emanating from the mountains of bones. He brought Wang Junlin here. Firstly, he was entrusted by the Sardin master, and secondly, he wanted to see him nearby.
Let’s see if Wang Junlin has practiced that mysterious technique and if we can help him as soon as possible.
This Sardin master was very dedicated to his work, and even when the captain of ten thousand men came to his side, he could not be distracted in the slightest.
Since the Bon Religion master Xinrao Mibao founded the four sects of Bon Religion, the Bon Religion, which originally did not establish writing or images (Buddha statues), finally painfully realized its own sect after a failed struggle with Buddhism.
Errors in teaching.
The spiritual level of gods and Buddhas is really too far away. Only if ignorant people can see the actual gods and Buddhas, will people believe in them, even if it is just a shadow of a god and Buddha projected on the human world...
Without the protection of the royal power and the army, Bon believers would be brutally massacred by Buddhism and Nestorianism, let alone development. I don’t know since when, the masters of Bon religion believed that the royal power controls people’s bodies, and the souls must be left to
They come to guide.
Therefore, they began to become the masters of the Tubo people and some tribes in the Western Regions. Moreover, they also began to build their own temples like Buddhism.
In fact, compared to Nestorian kings who like to interfere with secular power, various ethnic groups and tribes in the Western Regions prefer Bon masters who are like ascetics. As long as it does not affect the spread of their religion, they never compete for power with secular leaders and patriarchs, and they can also unite.
People's hearts help these ambitious clan leaders rule their people.
But the reason why Bon religion is not as widespread as Buddhism and has not as many followers as Buddhism is because the masters of Bon religion always like to sacrifice things to their gods and Buddhas, and the way they make sacrifices is to burn things. It is said that in the latest Bon religion
In one of the most prosperous years, they burned a million catties of highland barley, 6,000 yaks, 4,000 war horses, 10,000 sheep, 500 slaves, and countless furs and cloths for the gods and Buddhas.
Together with the firewood, a large fire with a radius of two miles was piled up. The fire burned for three full months, and even the rain from the sky could not extinguish the fire...
Compared with using a pile of bones to build a shrine, this kind of super extravagance and waste gave many tribes a headache, so they had to stay away from Bon religion. Only some large tribes could bear it.
"Master Sardin, the big boss wants you to see the secret recipe sent by the poisonous Han general. King Bodo has an even more vicious secret recipe." Captain Wanfu glanced at Chang Kuzi and respectfully said to Sardin.
The master knelt down and worshiped, holding the piece of paper in both hands. He knew that the master knew Chinese characters and did not need to translate them.
Master Sardin put down his work, looked at the Captain with eyes like will-o'-the-wisps, took the note, and then sat among the pile of skeletons, resting and reading at the same time.
After a while, Master Sardin leaned over and kissed the earth, and said solemnly: "Tell the big boss to do what you need to do. Whether it is good or evil, the earth will tolerate everything. Spring has arrived.
, the green grass will grow taller and taller, and the bones of heretics will be used to build shrines for gods and Buddhas. Whether they are killed or poisoned, Samantabhadra and Xinglaogha (Puminika Tathagata) will like them.
, and your souls will go to the Snow Mountains to go to heaven with the eagles."
Bon worshipers worship mountains, grasslands, earth and blue sky. To them, the cycle of life is nothing more than the drying up of green grass.
The Ten Thousand Captain prostrated himself and kissed the ground, and said solemnly: "I will tell the big boss exactly what Master Sardin said."
After saying this, the captain of ten thousand men bowed to Master Sardin with great respect, and then left.
After listening to Sardin's words conveyed by the Ten Thousand Captains, Ashina thought for a moment and said: "You can first find the two fodder mentioned here and try the effect. If the effect is as stated in the secret recipe, collect a large amount
This kind of fodder! No matter what, we will have to fight with Tong Yehu sooner or later. Even if I don’t want to fight with him, that idiot Tong Yehu will try every means under the instigation of King Bodo.
Kill Hurunubi and me." Ashina sighed and said calmly.
…
…
The royal court of the Western Turks.
Changsun and his son were injured at the bonfire party, and a military attache was missing. Changsun Sheng used these two things as an excuse to attack Tongyehu Khan and Bodo Dharma King, hoping that they could give him an explanation, otherwise he would tear him apart
A letter of credence conferring the title of Khan to Ye Hu, the Western Tong.
Tongyehu Khan and King Bodo sincerely expressed their apologies and were willing to offer 100,000 sheep as compensation. Changsun Sheng accepted Tongyehu's apology and happily announced the canonization of Tongyehu Khan by the Great Sui Tian Khan.
He also gave Princess Xinyi a dowry of 100,000 bolts of silk, 10,000 pieces of porcelain, 10,000 cans of fine wine, 50,000 taels of silver, and 5,000 taels of gold from the Sui Dynasty.
Then the grand wedding of Princess Xinyi and Tongyehu Khan was held.
Everything went smoothly. It seemed that Tongyehu Khan and King Bodo had achieved their goals, and Changsun Sheng had also completed his mission as the envoy of the Sui Dynasty.
