Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 22 The Descendants of Bai Xiaode

"That's what I heard. At one time, the Buddha was in the Trayali Heaven, teaching the Dharma for his mother. At that time, in immeasurable worlds in the ten directions, all Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas Mahasattvas, who could not speak or speak, came to gather."

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra with the unique rhythm of Buddhism was sung, and it was a chorus of men and women.

Because Zhang Zhao recalled it for a while, and suddenly found that he would also sing this Buddhist scripture that was born in Khotan more than ten years ago, which should be the memory of the original Zhang Zhao.

At this time, the Uyghurs in Ganzhou and Kuci had already believed in Buddhism, except for some Uyghurs in Gaochang who believed in Manichaeism.

At the same time, the Tubo people in the Qilian Mountains, the Han people in Guasha and the Tuyuhun people, and the Long family in Suzhou all believed in Buddhism.

Moreover, Tibetan Tantric Buddhism is still in the process of formation at this time, and the Buddhism in the entire Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions is in a great era of constant collision and integration. The Buddhist sects believed by the people here are basically the same, that is, the Chinese Tantric Buddhism that is hardly seen in later generations. , also known as Tang Mi.

So regardless of whether there are Uighurs, Han Chinese and Tibetans present, the beliefs are the same.

As Zhang Zhao and Mrs. Cao San chanted, more and more people began to follow suit, and the men, women and children who came down from the Zhang Yichao Temple on the mountain had already begun to quietly spread the miracle of the Taibao on the mountain. More and more people looked at Zhang Zhao with more and more admiration, including the Uighurs.

When the sound of horseshoes came, and the Uighur strong man who had gone out came back with someone, he saw such a scene.

Old people and children gathered together to sing and chant Buddhist scriptures. Some men were chopping firewood. This is to cremate the dead in battle according to the Uyghur custom. Other women and men were carrying the wounded into the tent. Qi Xiahu's wife was even more I took out the precious honey and boiled honey water.

They didn't distinguish between Uyghurs or Tang'er, and they didn't look at each other angrily. Even Qiong Re Duojin, Ge Duojin's confidant, had his wounds bandaged and was leaning against the fire to warm himself in despair.

This... was a bit natural in the weirdness, as if the flying corpses just hit were all hallucinations.

The Uighurs who came back got off their horses in astonishment and chanted Buddhist scriptures with them.

"Mr. Erlang, a certain Bai Congxin has invited Ge Tuo Dagan back!"

After the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s vows were recited again, the thick Uighur man with his hands folded bowed down to salute Zhang Zhao.

And on the horse behind him, the chubby Ge Duo's hair was disheveled, and he no longer had the complacent look of the previous two days.

"Bai Congxin? Your surname is Bai? Are you a descendant of the royal family of Qiuci? May I ask, are you a descendant of the crown prince Taifu Beiting's camp Jiedushi Baigong Xiaojie? Or the crown prince Taibao, the prince of Changhua County Baigong Xiaode?"

Zhang Zhao only glanced at Ge Duo, and was attracted by the surname of this thick Uighur.

The Bai family in Kucha Uighur, this is the famous family of loyal ministers in the history of the Tang Dynasty!
Back then when the Anshi Rebellion was quelled, King Bai Xiaojie of Kucha and his younger brother Bai Xiaode both made great contributions, especially Bai Xiaode, who was a great general of the country, a Uyghur man who became the king of the county for life!

A look of pride and shame flashed across Bai Congxin's face, "Back to Mr. Erlang, this is the descendant of Baigong Xiaode, the king of Changhua County."

Great!Zhang Zhao couldn't help cheering in his heart, these Uighurs can be subdued, because their genes have long been imprinted with the Tang Dynasty.

"You are the queen of heroes! The king of Changhua County is a hero of the Tang Dynasty, and his prestige spreads all over the world. What about his descendants!"

Zhang Zhao was in a state of being unable to continue. The meaning of the second half of the sentence was, how did Bai Xiaode's descendants become reduced to being horse bandits?How could Bai Xiaode's descendants become enemies with Tang Er?
"I'm so ashamed!" Bai Congxin was completely shattered by Zhang Zhao's words!

"Mr. Erlang doesn't know that the ancestors of this servant were captured by the Tubo people and taken to the Qilian Mountains. How can you still remember some of the glory of your ancestors! You are ashamed of your ancestors!"

Zhang Zhao's heart was almost completely relieved. Bai Congde's reaction was no different from that of a Han Chinese. In addition, he was not tall and deep-eyed. No one objected to saying that he was a Han Chinese. The fire of civilization planted in the heart of the Kucha people is still shining in this person's heart.

"Being in trouble for a while doesn't mean you will never be able to lift your head up. Brother Bai is ashamed of his ancestors, so why not me, Zhang Zhao?
What a hero my grandfather Taibao is, he almost made a big mistake when he came to his descendants, if brother Bai is willing to abandon evil and do good together with us to revive the reputation of our ancestors, it is not too late! "

Zhang Zhao pretended to empathize with him, and then pointed at Ge Duo, who was lying on the horseback in embarrassment, "The descendants of heroes, how can they live under the slaves of thieves!"

Zhang Zhao's original intention was to stimulate Bai Congxin's sense of ancestral pride, and further alienate his relationship with Ge Duo.

Unexpectedly, Bai Congxin became even more embarrassed, his face changed twice, and he said with some embarrassment.

"Although Ge Duzhi's words and deeds are usually not used to, he is also the descendant of the elder brother of Changhua County King. In terms of seniority, he is still the uncle of the servant."

It's embarrassing, this thing is actually the descendant of Bai Xiaode's elder brother, but it's normal to think about it, the Tubo people migrated to Qilian Mountains to control Kucha, the Bai family is the royal family of Kucha, it is also possible that some royal families did not escape and were moved to Qilian Mountains.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao stood up and looked at Ge Duo on horseback.

"Ge Duo, I respect the king of Changhua County as the hero of the country. I'll give you a treat today. I don't wear armor. As long as you can survive under my hands for half an hour, I will let you go!"

This was the big plan that Zhang Zhao had planned in his heart. Today he won a complete victory with one enemy against a hundred. In fact, the armor and weapons took a lot of advantage. Without this armor, he would have died countless times.

He understands this truth, and the Uighurs of course also understand this truth, so although Ge Duo, the bald tiger, is notorious, but if he is fully armed and kills Ge Duo one-on-one, he may still be considered unarmed. If I kill Ge Duo without armor, no one will say anything, right?
Old Zhang Zhong anxiously wanted to dissuade him, Zhang Zhao shook his head to stop him, he was still a little sure in his heart, he would know from Ge Duo's appearance and his unexpected choice to escape.

This guy might have been a ruthless person ten or twenty years ago, but now, his fat belly and his obsessive behavior deeply prove that this guy is just an old dog with a name in vain. Beating such an old dog , my super brother is still very sure.

"Brother Bai, please do the armor for Ge Duda!" Zhang Zhao bowed his hands to Bai Congxin, and then took the pointed hammer and hand (a rectangular shield used by infantry) from Yin Yaozi.

"Wind! Wind! Gale!"

In front of the camp, this time there was no chaos of men and women, no matter how old or young they were, they all started yelling loudly.

This is a duel between Zhang Zhao and Ge Duo, the two leaders, it looks like a duel between old and new wolf kings on the grassland.
