Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 1530 Three Promises
When the old lady said this, her old eyes turned in horror, looking at the words on it in fear.

"This is the most vicious curse in our Sogdian script, and it means:

This oath is unbreakable and cannot be broken for any reason.

Otherwise, both humans and gods will be abandoned, heaven and earth will be punished together, and death will never return!
It means that even if you die, your corpse is not welcome back to your hometown..."

"It turned out to be like this...",
Chen Zhi then remained silent for a minute, sorted out what the old lady said just now, thought through all the branches, and then looked at her again,

"Old man, you just said that this oath is made up of three people.

One is a king, one is a monkey man, and the other is a god!

Then do you know who the gods are referring to? "

"it's him!",
The old lady furrowed her eyebrows vigorously, she was extremely afraid but pointed to the first mural very accurately.

In that picture, Xuanzang is leading the horse, clasping his hands together and wearing cassock.

And that monkey-man was still wild, full of disrespect, and jumped ahead recklessly.

And in front of them, the place where Guanyin Bodhisattva should have been painted has now become the old man in white.

This old man has white hair and a white beard, and is dressed in a plain white robe, but his face can't be seen clearly.

He pointed to the direction of Gaochang Kingdom ahead, and gave Xuanzang a shiny silver metal headband to control the monkey people.

And this white-clothed old man, in the second picture of Gaochang Kingdom, becomes slightly smaller. He stands between the monkey man and Gaochang King, with his hands apart, as if presiding over a ceremony.

If you don't look carefully, you won't notice him.

"It's him, he is God!" The old lady pointed at the old man in white tremblingly,

"It is he who dominates all this, it is he who plans the fate of everyone,
He asked this monkey man to help a monk from the Central Plains and help him go to the western Tianzhu country to obtain the scriptures!
And that monk has no valuable status, he traveled thousands of miles, penniless, alone, and had no support for his ascetic journey all the way.

So this god gave the treasure to the king of Gaochang in exchange for the king's support, and made the king and the monkey man become brothers and made an unbreakable promise.

The monkey man promised the king that no matter what his status is when he returns from the westward journey, he will return to Gaochang Kingdom, and use the power of the treasure to become a God of War and relieve Gaochang Kingdom from its dangers! "

"What did you just say?" Chen Zhi's mind flashed, and he suddenly captured extremely important information.

"You just said that the god sent a treasure to the king, and asked the monkey man to promise that after returning, he would turn into a god of war and protect the country!

An orc, turned into a god?
That.
Do you know what this gem is? "

"I don't know!" The old lady shook her head and said,

"I can only convey to you what these words mean.

In our Sogdian language, things that are precious and unobtainable are called treasures. These things cannot be bought with money or rights.

It is something that only gods can have, and it is the most precious gift! "

"Can the gods have something?",
A concept suddenly appeared in Chen Zhi's mind,
"It's something only a god can have, but this thing can turn this humble monkey-shaped orc into a God of War!

Then..., this thing, could it be..."

"Do you have anything else to ask?" The old lady suddenly covered her head with trembling hands, and her eyes began to blur.

Obviously, the time is coming when she will soon be that stupid old man again, remembering nothing.

The cataracts in her eyes began to gather, and her vision was about to disappear.

"Can you help me determine who this god is?

Also, what kind of fate did he give these two people?Why did he do this? "Because of the urgency of time, Chen Zhi quickly asked a series of questions.

But the old lady couldn't support it at this time.

"I don't know who he is!", the old lady covered her twitching head and said sadly,

"Children, there are too many large texts in the back, and it's too late.

Let me read this first large text for you, which describes the origin of this god and the reason for this journey to the west.

Your answer may be in there..."

After the old lady finished speaking, she lay her whole body on the first document full of words, stroked the Sogdian characters with trembling hands, and began to read with difficulty.

"A god who is burdened with serious sins, treats the world of sinners with a long life!
The world has been in war for a long time, and human beings are fighting each other. This god thinks it is his sin and feels guilty all day long.

However, in the land of China, the old gods are all gone, and a new god's teachings are needed to educate people's hearts with humanity and humility...

The empire was newly established, and the world finally came to peace, but the new emperor ascended the throne after killing his father and brother, which is called the Xuanwu Gate Change!

This god incarnated as a national teacher, and accompanied the emperor all day long, hoping to influence his mind, forgive the world, treat his subjects kindly, and preserve the hard-won peace and prosperity.

However, the emperor said, "Father's kindness and mother's love, brotherhood and brotherhood are respectful, all of them are empty, I don't believe it anymore."

Now that the old gods of China are all dead, and he has committed heinous crimes by killing his brother and father, don't mention karma for him anymore, I don't believe in karma.

The god said, the law of heaven reincarnates, everything has a reward, you must believe it, but the emperor does not listen to his words.

One day, the emperor suddenly had a nightmare. After waking up, he was shocked and cried out to God, saying: "The national teacher saved me. This is the result of karma. I want to pay for my sins with all my heart. Please advise the national teacher."

This god said, in the past, the old gods of China took pleasure in slaughter and prided themselves on being strong, and they never knew how to forgive and cultivate one's character, even if they didn't believe it.

There is an ancient country in the West today, named Tianzhu, from which the holy scriptures were published, called Buddha, whose power is invisible and can influence the world.

Now His Highness can respect Buddhism, teach the world to be grateful, believe in cause and effect, and reduce the hostility of the world, so His Highness’s sins can be slightly reduced~~
After hearing this, the emperor was half-convinced and said, the national teacher can go to the ear, if there is a Bible back, I will definitely respect it~~
Afterwards, the god found a monk named Xuanzang, who was known as Qianliju.
This god incarnated as an old monk, enlightened him, and opened a way for him to find a fate.

In Guazhou, enlighten the monkey man, let him worship Xuanzang as his teacher, protect him all the way, and go to Tianzhu to seek Buddhist scriptures together!

From then on, Tianzhu Buddhism was introduced to the vast China, and countless believers passed it down from generation to generation, and destiny made ears for it~~”

When the old lady read this, she was obviously exhausted,
"Son, this is the origin of this god, and I have tried my best.

I have suffered from poverty all my life, and I have never dared to do anything negative, because I believe in karma all my life.

This is not a sacred object that me, a mortal, should see. I never thought that it would enter my eyes before I died. This is all fate...

Just like what this god said in the last sentence, fate has already arranged everything..."
