After waking up again, Wang Junlin found that there was no part of his body that was not in pain, and his head was in pain as if it were about to burst. The true energy in his meridians was flowing through his body like a stream of fire. He wanted to scream like crazy, but he couldn't.
Changkuzi murmured to himself and fell into Wang Junlin's ears: "The essence and true energy that I have condensed throughout my life will form a Tao seed in your body. When this Tao seed grows up, I will take it back."
The day when the seed of Tao becomes enlightened.”
At this time, Wang Junlin was about to pass out again. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, holding on to a little clarity in his heart. He shouted loudly, suddenly opened his mouth, flipped his tongue, and a thin needle suddenly shot out from his mouth, so close.
At such a distance that even Chang Kuzi could not dodge, the thin needle pierced through his throat with a hiss.
"You..." Changkuzi's face changed drastically, and then he looked filled with fear and disbelief. His whole body, hands and feet began to twitch, and after four or five breaths, his head automatically drooped. Finally, his hands, feet, and head hunched together, his eyes rolled, and he died tragically on the spot.
Wang Junlin watched the fine needle pierce Chang Kuzi's throat and smiled proudly. Suddenly he felt a chill pouring into his body from head to toe. Then he found that his mouth and nose were blocked, his breathing had completely disappeared, and he had completely lost consciousness.
Although he knew that Chang Kuzi was uneasy and well-intentioned, Wang Junlin still practiced the skills on the scroll. First, the nameless skills could indeed improve his strength. Second, Wang Junlin also prepared several countermeasures, hidden under his tongue.
The poisonous needle is just one of them. It’s just that he was in a trance when he was locked up in this small dark room. When Changkuzi appeared, he didn’t react for a moment, and before he had time to use any means, he was caught by Changkuzi.
He said that when he finally had a chance just now, he took action without hesitation.
…
…
Neither Wu San nor Yu Bao thought that the place where Wang Junlin was imprisoned was close to the residence of King Bodo. Therefore, when Wu San desperately led his people to kill here, what he faced was King Bodo and Bodo.
He has hundreds of guards.
These hundred guards are actually the team that King Bodo plans to form to protect the cavalry. They themselves are warriors carefully selected from the Western Turks, and under the daily "influence" of King Bodo, they are the most fanatical followers of Nestorianism.
Whatever happens outside, even if Tong Yehu Khan or their wives and children are killed in front of them, they will not leave the Bodo Dharma King for even one step. Not to mention that the power of the Bodo Dharma King himself far exceeds that of ordinary soldiers.
Takezo couldn't survive a few moves at the hands of King Hado.
Therefore, Wu San's carefully planned rescue operation with the help of Buddhist riots ultimately failed. After paying half of the heavy losses and seeing no hope, Wu San ordered to retreat with the help of darkness, while part of the Turkic cavalry was busy putting out fires everywhere.
, some of them were busy suppressing or massacring the rebellious Buddhists and everyone related to them, but they did not bother to surround them with all their strength, so they rushed out of the city lord's palace and hid in the underground passage prepared in advance.
There were 145 people. Including more than 70 people who escaped from Yu Bao and his party, there were still 215 people left out of 600. It can be said that the losses were heavy.
But their death was not in vain. At least they restrained and attracted King Bodo, allowing Chang Kuzi to take advantage of the loophole and enter the small dark room where Wang Junlin was.
…
…
Gaochang City was blazing with fire at this time. This was different from the fire that burned Shifa Temple during the day. This time, the entire city turned into a huge fire scene.
The burning Gaochang City illuminated the fighting battlefield like daylight.
No war drums or horns could be heard, everyone was fighting to their heart's content.
The Turkic residential area in Gaochang City was the first place to be attacked. Almost all women and children were killed or injured. Only the Turkic men who persisted until the end were left to fight with the enemy with red eyes and the Turkic cavalry who came to help, for their wives, children and parents.
revenge.
War horses are neighing, warriors are roaring, bowstrings are ringing wildly, and arrows are flying randomly.
The Turkic knights on their war horses kept falling off their horses, and the crazy Buddhist believers were constantly trampled to pieces by the Turkic cavalry. All lives were as cheap as grass, but their deaths were the most meaningless in the world since ancient times.
Warriors composed mainly of Tibetans and Buddhists of various ethnic groups fought to the death, but the Turkic cavalry formation was like a ferocious beast that charged wherever it went, devouring all the enemies there.
Yu Bao has already retreated with his people, but there are less than 500 real Buddhists who can fight. At this time, each of them is thinking about how to rush into the Turkic cavalry formation and die with the enemy, and die.
In the past, I could kill a few more heretics to avenge Master Shi Daoan. However, the vast majority of them did not even have the chance to die. They were entangled by countless Turks and then chopped into pieces.
They are a group of people who have lost themselves, and are not even confused. Therefore, they cannot clearly recognize when the situation is not right and then retreat decisively like Yu Bao and his party. Therefore, they were eventually defeated.
The defense line formed by Turkic civilians held them back, and then they were surrounded by Turkic cavalry. They were destined to survive less than half an hour.
The advantage of the miscellaneous army whose minds are controlled by faith and their Buddha is that they have strong fighting spirit at the beginning. If the battle goes well, they can even do things that are impossible in ordinary times. Each of them can be said to be the most brave and least afraid of death.
warrior.
However, once the war reaches a stalemate and the companions around them die, their desire to cherish life will sooner or later overcome their respect for the Buddha and their loyalty to their faith.
This motley army of Buddhists is no longer as desperate as it was at the beginning. There are already expressions of fear on some people's faces, and they are all dying right in front of their eyes.
…
…
The situation in Gaochang City gradually calmed down. The Turkic cavalry killed all those who participated in the riot, and directly carried out genocide-style massacres against the ethnic groups that participated in the rebellion more, such as the Tubo people.
In this rebellion, the Turks lost more than a thousand cavalry and more than 4,000 women and children in the city, but they also killed more than 20,000 foreigners. The number of people in Gaochang City was suddenly reduced by half, which represented the Western Turkic Royal Court
The tax revenue here has been reduced by as much as half, and as the news spread, merchants and people of other ethnic groups did not dare to come to trade or open shops for a long time, which caused great long-term losses to the Western Turkic Royal Court.
.
King Bodo spent nearly a month, using so much manpower, material and energy, to set up a trap to hide it from heaven, just to kill Shi Daoan and destroy Shifa Temple, and not to let everyone in Gaochang City
The family rebounded. Who thought that the plan was very successful, but the plan itself was leaked, and the result was a failure.
If I had known this, it would be better to use the army to kill Shi Daoan, burn Shifa Temple, and kill all the Buddhists in the city. In that case, the Turks' losses would be far less than this riot. And the most disappointing thing is that
What made King Bodo angry was that this incident would greatly damage his reputation in the Western Regions. This was an unprecedented blow to King Bodo who wanted to turn all ethnic groups in the Western Regions into Nestorian believers.
After getting angry and regaining his composure, King Bodo thought of Wang Junlin and thought: "Finally, there is still Wang Junlin. As long as this kid's will is destroyed and he sincerely becomes a Nestorian believer and worships him as his teacher, he will always be able to develop among the Han people of the Sui Dynasty in the future.
More believers. And with a population of 40 to 50 million in the Sui Dynasty, the loss of this little bit of prestige in the Western Regions is nothing."
With this in mind, King Bodo asked someone to open the small dark room and personally come to check on Wang Junlin's situation.
The iron door of the small black room was opened from the outside, and then the two Turks who opened the iron door couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing clearly what was going on in the small black room.
Dharma King Bodo, who was outside the door, came over with an ugly expression. After seeing clearly what was going on in the small dark room, his pupils shrank and he exclaimed: "It turns out it's you, a Taoist priest. This... is poisoned by the legendary conspiracy poison. This kid
The name of the poisonous general is indeed well-deserved."
As he spoke, he casually threw the Changkuzi outside, touched Wang Junlin, then his face changed drastically, and he lost his voice: "This... these two people died together, their faces were obviously rosy, why did they seem to be completely dead, and their whole body
They are already cold and stiff."
King Bodo looked up and saw the cave above the small black room. His face was so gloomy that it could drip water. He slapped a slap in the face. The Turkic man who was guarding the small black room flew out and smashed against the wall. He vomited blood from his mouth.
His whole body twitched twice and he died immediately.
"What a pity! Such a good seedling...come here and cut this Taoist priest into pieces. General Junlin...find a place to bury him!" King Bodo sighed deeply and ordered.
However, King Bodo did not know that Wang Junlin did not die, but entered an extremely miraculous state, which was similar to the legendary state of suspended animation.
At the foot of a hillside outside Gaochang City, Wang Junlin was casually covered with two sheepskins, and then he was thrown into a pit. Two Turks used shovels to cover him with soil without saying a word. After a while, a layer of soil fell on his body.
Thick soil.
I don’t know how long it took, but Wang Junlin suddenly woke up. He breathed hard through his mouth and nose instinctively, but there was no air underground, so he almost suffocated again. He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw darkness. His breathing began to be rapid due to lack of oxygen.
, at the moment when he was about to suffocate to death, powerful and unparalleled Qi exploded in his body. The next moment, his body contracted like a spring. When he stretched again, his whole body was rushing upwards.
'With a sound, mud and broken sheepskin flew everywhere.
When Wang Junlin was more than two feet above the ground, he fell back to the ground hard and fell down.
If anyone witnessed such a horrific scene, they would think it was a fake corpse and be frightened half to death.
Fortunately, this place is a deserted and inhabited land. Except for a yellow sheep that ran away in fear after witnessing the whole scene, there is no other living thing.
Wang Junlin's eyes flickered brightly and darkly across the surroundings. His left eye shone like a star, and his right eye was as dark as a deep pool. After three or four breaths, he gradually returned to normal, but his eyes were much brighter than before.
