Rather than saying that Meng Yulong was talking about conditions, it was more a "request", because He Mulan didn't have to worry about how they would dismantle Juqu Mujian's power next.
For the Wei Kingdom, as long as it supports Bodhi as king, and then comes to reap the fruits of victory.
But is it really that easy
If Queen Meng finally repents, and only the verbal agreement depends on the "covenant" that both parties abide by, can it really be realized
"Oops, headache!"
He Mulan slammed her head into the table.
"I can't understand if my mind is broken, I don't want to!"
"What is the general crazy about?"
Na Luo Hun poked Chen Jie, "It's like this after returning from the Iron Guard Camp!"
"I don't know either." Chen Jie shook his head, "It must be a big deal to make the general worry like this."
"Gai Wu's side began to contact Juqu Mujian's people, but the other party was very cautious and did not leave any clues." Yuan Fang was also troubled, "Zheng Zong said that King Liang wanted to know what Meng Yulong and the general talked about. General Hua doesn't know how to respond to him."
That condition cannot be said for sure.
But what can be said to benefit them
"Can't we just ignore them?" Man Gu, who is a big and rude, said directly: "We don't know, can't we go back to Pingcheng? We've been here for seven or eight days, and we haven't left for Beijing yet."
"You know that when you return to Beijing, I think you want to hurry back and marry a daughter-in-law!" Zheng Zong laughed at him, "This is a big deal! This time the mission is related to Wei Guo's future plans, and it will be tomorrow when the general is ready!"
"嘁… "
"What a dog leg..."
Several people boo Zheng Zong.
He Mulan really didn't know what to do next. For her, she was definitely unwilling to contact Buddhism. She was still terrified of being attacked by poison needles in Xiu'an last time.
The Buddhism here is not the kind of Buddhism she is familiar with in later generations. It has not been many years since Buddhism came from Tianzhu, and Tang Seng has not gone to get scriptures to identify the "authenticity". The Buddhists themselves are still in constant disputes because of their teachings and schools. Unlike What is a tight religion, it seems like a pretense of fighting for power and profit under the guise of religion.
The difference is that Wei State wants to establish a country called "Wei State" that unites the north, while Buddhism wants a "world" that unifies the north and the south and everyone converts to Buddhism. They are all ruled in the same way, but in different forms. Same thing.
But whether she wants to contact Buddhism or not, the bad news is still here.
Master Cixin, who went out to visit the eminent monks in Beiliang, was detained.
The monk who sent the letter said that it was compassionate and profound in Buddhism, and the monk of "Nirvana Master" left him to preach in Tianti Mountain, and he also promised to practice in Tianti Mountain in the future, not to return to the country with the Wei envoy.
If it were anyone else, the people in the mission wouldn't care if a wild monk was missing, but He Mulan was different. She knew that Master Ci Xin would not be willing to stay here.
He still has three disciples to feed, and the youngest one is not yet an adult. Once he stays in Beiliang for a long time, the three disciples will wander around without starving to death.
It is like the home of Master Cixin, no matter where you travel, you will eventually return.
Fomen clearly couldn't invite him, so he began to use means to force He Mulan to go.
"Those who want to detain us must first see if they have the ability to do so!" Gai Wu and Master Ci Xin got along relatively well, and when he heard He Mulan's speculation, he couldn't help touching his sword.
"I will directly take the Tiantai Army to Tianti Mountain to 'invite' Master Cixin back!"
There are more than 1,000 Lu Shuihu under his subordinates, and there are at least 300 people excluding those who escorted the caravans out of the northern Liang.
It should be easy for more than 300 people to go to the temple in Tianti Mountain to ask for a person.
"Who is Nirvana Master?" He Mulan asked them inexplicably, "Do you know?"
Where did everyone know, they all shook their heads.
"There are too many Buddhist schools, and Guangmen sects are divided into many. However, Tianti Mountain is the place where the Beiliang royal family worships Buddha statues. Most of the people who can build temples on Tianti Mountain are related to the royal family."
Zheng Zong knew something about Bei Liang's situation and answered.
Tianti Mountain is the source of the water source of the whole Guzang City. After the spring, the snow on the mountain melts and flows into the river into the moat. The water plants along the road are very dense. There are countless grottoes on Tianlong Mountain. Buddhists in the north love statues and monuments to open Buddhist caves. As long as there are famous mountains, almost all monks go to open caves, and this was the case until the Tang Dynasty.
Most of the temples are built around Buddhist caves and vary in size. The temple that Master Cixin was "invited" to is called "Reincarnation Temple", which sounds very strange, and no one knows how Master Cixin found it.
"I'll go meet them."
He Mulan's face was cold.
"Forcibly rob it. I'm afraid that Master Cixin will be poisoned by them. I will bring hundreds of tigers up."
"General..."
"Don't worry about me, if something happens to me in Beiliang, both Beiliang and Fomen will be unlucky. They are not that stupid." He Mulan remembered Tuoba Tao's "Destroying Buddha" later.
He really can do this.
Because he was worried that the other envoys of Wei State would oppose her adventure, He Mulan did not tell most people where she was going, but just told Liu Zhen, who was an Egret official, that she was going to the "Reincarnation Temple" in Tianti Mountain.
Although Liu Zhen didn't understand why He Mulan went to Tianti Mountain, he was just a clerk, and the identity of the egret official could not be revealed. He could only silently remember where she went and pray that nothing would happen.
Tianti Mountain is just outside Guzang City, and you don't need a guide to see it at a glance. He Mulan led the people on horseback towards the mountain peak. As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, a group of acquaintances came to greet them.
Fortunately, there are no strange rules like "dismounting from the horse and taking off the sword" in martial arts. what's the situation.
He Mulan kept suppressing her emotions, and when she arrived at the door of Samsara Temple, when she saw the mountain gate wide open, it was obvious that she had been waiting for a long time, and finally she couldn't help but burst out.
"You are quite sure that I will come."
"The host thinks that the donor will definitely come." Zhike Seng smiled without any guilt. "It's just that the Han Temple is rudimentary, I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate so many guests..."
He looked apologetically at the Hu Ben army outside.
"Can you ask them to wait outside?"
He speaks Chinese, and his words are eloquent.
He Mulan didn't care to place more than a dozen personal guards to keep up. Na Luohun, Chen Jie, Mangu, Zheng Zong, and Gai Wu all followed He Mulan. They were highly skilled in martial arts, not to mention the temple. It can't hold hundreds of monks, even if there are hundreds, they can still kill outside the temple.
Five hundred Tiger Ben army lined up outside the temple, surrounding the entire Reincarnation Temple. He Mulan and the others headed towards the backyard under the leadership of the monk Zhike.
This reincarnation temple is also strange, the first entrance is not the Buddha statues such as Tianwang and Maitreya, but a huge flower-shaped wheel. There are six petals on the runner, each of which is engraved with countless patterns. The whole looks extraordinary, but it is also very strange.
Fortunately, after the wheel is turned, there is the Mahavira Hall, which is no different from the others. It was not until after entering the backyard, He Mulan and her personal soldiers entered a meditation room that they saw Master Cixin and a middle-aged monk talking about Buddhism. There were several monks standing behind the middle-aged monk.
One of them was Tan Yun, whom He Mulan had seen several times.
"All sentient beings have Buddha-nature, even if they have broken the roots of goodness. Since all sentient beings have Buddha-nature, there is the possibility of becoming a Buddha there. Therefore, everyone can become a Buddha."
"Eternal God"
Master Ci Xin said calmly.
When He Mulan and others saw that they were talking, they did not rush into the room, but just stood at the door.
The monks inside seemed to have not heard the people coming from outside, eagerly listening to the debate between the two monks.
"If all living beings can become Buddhas, and everyone has Buddha-nature, why do Buddhists have angry eyes and Arhats who enforce the law? Even Buddhas will be taken advantage of by demons, so it is necessary to choose suitable candidates to save themselves first. Body, so that evil spirits are not invaded, and only then can you become a Buddha."
The middle-aged monk responded to Master Cixin: "We reincarnate in order to wash away our sins and finally take refuge in my Buddha."
"If you don't have sins in this life, you will have no sins in the next life. The so-called equality of all beings only allows us to treat all people with a normal heart, rather than forcing all beings to be the same. How can all beings be the same? Even two leaves are not the same. It's just our hearts that can be the same."
Master Ci Xin suddenly turned his head and asked He Mulan at the door.
"General Hua, are you saying what I said is correct?"
"Master Cixin is right." He Mulan nodded and finally entered the quiet room. "Several masters are well. I am invited to come and invite Master Cixin to go back. He is an important member of the mission, and I must take him with me when I go back..."
Hearing He Mulan's words, the middle-aged monk finally turned his head and started to face He Mulan.
After scanning up and down, the middle-aged monk and Cixin said: "You are right, he does hide his 'spirit' and cannot express it, but if he learns the technique of 'nirvana', there may be a rescue."
"How is this going?"
He Mulan looked at Ci Xin and then at the middle-aged monk.
Gai Wu gritted his teeth at Tan Yun.
"You demon monk, you dare to appear in front of me!"
His so many clansmen...
so many people died...
Tanyun just recited the Buddha's name and didn't say much.
"This is Monk Eshi, a friend of Master Tan Wushen in Beiliang, and he is the best at medical skills. After I came to visit him, I talked about the yang energy in you. He said that you have to see you before you can know the situation."
Master Cixin probably didn't know what He Mulan had said to Meng Yulong before, and he didn't know how Fomen lied to her, but he actually said it very sincerely.
"The great monk is not good, and he hasn't been down the mountain for many years, so he had to invite the general to come here."
He saw that Gai Wu had been staring at Tan Wujin, and a trace of unease arose in his heart.
"What? You know each other?"
"More than just knowing..."
Gai Wu gritted his teeth with red eyes.
"I hate to..."
"Gai Wu, control your emotions." He Mulan looked at Tan Yun and Xue Shi with a cold face, and said to Master Cixin: "Master, I don't know how to cultivate Buddha to save my life, I'm sorry, but let's go down the mountain now. , the mission may return to Pingcheng at any time."
"Huh? Why don't you want to learn how to save your life? Master Eshi lives in Dunhuang, and I finally met you in Guzang..."
Ci Xin looked at He Mulan inexplicably.
"You are still young, how can you just give up?"
Oh, you live in Dunhuang and come to Guzang
Hehe, I'm afraid Juqu Muqian will already be there as soon as he arrives in Guzang.
He Mulan shook his head, stepped forward and pulled Master Ci Xin's sleeve directly before leaving.
"Flower benefactor, if you don't want to practice Buddhism, I have a way to keep you alive..."
Eiji spoke quietly behind her.
"You are a person of great fortune, how can you be willing to die like this? If you are willing to help me Buddhism, I can also help you live a long life and help Wei to unify the Central Plains..."
