Turbulent Times Chapter 52: Guru Sardin
On the surface, Ashina personally went out of the tribe for four or five miles to meet Wang Junlin.
But Wang Junlin knew that this was not the case. There was Zhou Hu, a poisonous general, in the court of the Western Turkic King, but Ashina came to welcome his real body in person with great fanfare, which made Wang Junlin quite annoyed. There are people from Ashina under Tongyehu Khan and King Boduofa. Will the former two who are stronger have no spies by Ashina's side? Wang Junlin absolutely did not believe it. And as long as this spy sends back the news that the poisonous general appeared in the Ashina tribe, Changsun Sheng and Zhou Hu will not be able to explain to Tong Yehu Khan and Boduo Dharma King.
However, Wang Junlin was not very worried about this matter, because he never thought of entering the Ashina tribe. Even the shaman of this tribe is the Sardinian master of Bon religion, and this Sardinian master is the younger brother of his master.
"Master, if you really want to help me, please give this secret recipe for using poison to Ashina. I have personally indicated the efficacy and usage on it." Wang Junlin took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Changku son.
Changkuzi 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 as a teacher."
"Master must tell Ashina that there is a secret recipe that is more poisonous than this, and it is in the hands of King Bo Duo." Wang Junlin added.
As soon as the words fell, he turned his horse's head and galloped towards the east.
Seeing Wang Junlin leaving from a distance, Ashina's expression darkened immediately, and he ordered: "Ubak, take 3,000 people to chase after the poisonous general. Remember to capture him alive and not kill him."
A commander agreed, and led three thousand people to change direction and chase after Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin dared to take the risk of coming here alone, how could he be unprepared? He took out a porcelain bottle for one person, poured out a green pill with an ugly shape, put it in the water bag and melted it, and let the war horse drink it together with the water After going down, he had intentionally thirsty the horse for half a day, and the horse quickly drank nearly half of the water in the water bag.
Then, the war horse let out a long neigh, its eyes began to turn red, and it galloped forward like crazy. The 3,000 Turkic people chasing behind were originally four miles away from Wang Junlin, but now the distance was getting wider and wider, and soon Wang Junlin disappeared from their sight.
The ingredients of stimulants in later generations are not a secret, they can even be searched on Du Niang. Wang Junlin has collected some of them a long time ago, and boiled them together to make stimulant pills. As a result, he tried it when he was in Gaotai City, so he was not worried that it would fail.
The commander-in-chief Ubak chased people desperately, but still couldn't find Wang Junlin's shadow, so he could only lead people back to report with a depressed and incredible expression.
At this time, Ashina was sitting in his big tent, holding the note from Changkuzi, his face was cloudy and hesitant.
A Han slave who can read has already read it to him. Many Turkic people can speak Chinese, but very few know Chinese characters.
After a long silence, Ashina still hadn't made up his mind, glanced at a chief ten thousand next to him, and said in a deep voice: "Go, show this secret recipe to Guru Sardin, and tell him Boduo Dharma King There is a more vicious secret recipe in his hand, let's see what he says."
Master Nawan bowed and said yes, and then left.
The nomadic people live by water and grass, so the Ashina tribe is also next to a lake, but it is much smaller than the Chaiwopu Lake where the Western Turkic court is located, but it is barely enough for the people and livestock of the Ashina tribe drink.
And at the west end of this small lake there is a hillside, and there is a small temple on the hillside, and in the temple is the master Sardin of the Ashina tribe.
When the ten thousand head came to this small temple, the sun-burned, dark-faced, sunken-eyed, thin body Guru Satin was busy.
In front of this small temple, there are piles of bones like a mountain, including human bones, cattle, sheep, and war horses. From time to time, herdsmen will bring over clean bones, and then kneel down to Master Sardin. , then quietly left.
The Satin master of the Bon religion is currently using these dead bones and skeletons to build a throne made of skeletons and white bones next to the small temple.
When the ten thousand master came, the throne had already taken a preliminary shape, and every bone was cleaned up by the believers to be extremely clean. The little remaining hair on the scalp was cleaned, and the Bon Sardin master would find a suitable place to place the skull until the skull became as white as new.
At the entrance of the small temple, Changkuzi sat cross-legged. Looking at the bone throne, he felt a terrifying and eerie beauty. Then, he glanced at Mr. Wan who was walking over, closed his eyes slightly, and began to practice. He came to Western Turkic, not just following Wang Junlin, but to use the inexplicable aura emanating from the mountains and white bones to practice and bring Wang Junlin here. I want to see if Wang Junlin has practiced the mysterious exercise nearby, and if I can help him as soon as possible.
This Guru Sardin was very devoted to his work, even if the ten thousand commander came to him, he couldn't distract him in the slightest.
Since Bon Religion Master Xin Rao Mibao created the Bon Religion Four Dharma Gates, Bon Religion, which originally had no words and images (Buddha statues), finally realized painfully after failing in the struggle with Buddhism The mistakes of my own teaching method.
The gods and Buddhas on the spiritual level are too far away, and only ignorant people can see the real gods and Buddhas. People will believe in it, even if it is just a phantom projected by a **** and Buddha in the world...
Without the protection of kingship and army. Bon believers would be brutally massacred by Buddhism and Nestorianism, not to mention development. I don't know when, the masters of the Bon religion believed that the royal power controlled people's bodies, and the soul must be given to them to guide.
So, they started to become gurus for Tibetans and some western tribes. Moreover, they also began to learn from Buddhism and build their own temples.
Actually, compared to Nestorian kings who like to intervene in secular power, various ethnic groups and tribes in the Western Regions prefer Bon religion masters who are like ascetic monks. As long as they do not affect their religious spread, they never compete with secular leaders and patriarchs for power, and It can also unite the hearts of the people and help these ambitious leaders rule their people.
But the reason why Bon religion is not as widespread as Buddhism, and there are not as many believers as Buddhism, is because the masters of Bon religion always like to sacrifice things to their gods and Buddhas, and the way they sacrifice is to burn things. In one of the most prosperous years of Bon religion, they burned one million catties of highland barley, 6,000 yaks, 4,000 war horses, 10,000 sheep, 500 slaves, and countless fur and The cloth, together with the firewood, piled up a big fire with a radius of two miles. The fire burned for three whole months, and the rain in the sky could not extinguish the fire...
Compared to a pile of bones to pile up the throne, this kind of extravagance and waste caused many tribes a headache, so they had to stay away from the Bon religion, and only some big tribes could afford it.
"Master Sardin, the boss wants you to see the secret recipe sent by the poisonous Han general. King Bo Duo also has a more vicious secret recipe." Master Wan glanced at Chang Kuzi, respectfully Kneeling to Master Satin, holding the note in both hands, he knew that the master knew Chinese characters, so he didn't need to translate.
Master Satin put down the work in his hand, looked at Chief Wan with will-o'-the-wisp eyes, took the note, and then sat on the pile of skeletons, resting and reading.
After half a sound, Guru Sardin leaned over and kissed the earth, and said solemnly: "Tell the big leader, do what you should do, whether it is good or evil, the earth will tolerate everything, Spring has come, the grass will grow taller and taller, and the bones of heretics will be used to build gods and Buddhas. ) will like it, and your souls will go to the Great Snow Mountain to go to heaven with the eagle.”
Bon Religion worships mountains, grasslands, earth and blue sky. For them, the cycle of life is nothing but a green grass.
Wan Fuchang kissed the ground with all his body cast down, and said solemnly: "I will tell the big leader exactly what Master Satin said."
After finishing speaking, the chief ten thousand respectfully bowed to Master Sardin, and then left.
After listening to Sardin's words conveyed by Mr. Wan, Ashina thought for a while, and said: "You can find the two kinds of forage mentioned here first, and try the effect. If the effect is as stated in the secret recipe, Let’s collect a lot of this fodder! No matter what, we will have a battle with Tong Yehu sooner or later. Even if I don’t want to fight this battle with him, that idiot Tong Yehu will, under the instigation of King Bo Duo, want to Do everything you can to kill me and Hurunubi." Ashina sighed and said lightly.

Western Turkic court.
At the bonfire party, the eldest grandson and his son were injured, and a military officer was missing. Changsun Sheng used these two incidents as an excuse to challenge Tongyehu Khan and King Boduo, hoping that they could give him an explanation, otherwise he would tear up the letter of credence that made Xitong Yehu Khan.
Tongyehu Khan and Boduo Fawang sincerely apologized, and were willing to accompany the crime with 100,000 sheep. Changsun Sheng accepted Tong Yehu's apology, and happily announced the canonization of Da Sui Tian Khan to Tong Yehu Khan, and sent Da Sui to Princess Xinyi with 100,000 pieces of silk, 10,000 pieces of porcelain, and 10,000 jars of fine wine. Fifty thousand taels of silver, a dowry of five thousand taels of gold.
Then there was a grand wedding between Princess Xinyi and Khan Tongyehu.
Everything is going smoothly. It seems that Khan Tong Yehu and King Boduo have achieved their goals, and Changsun Sheng has also completed his mission as the envoy of the Sui Dynasty.
