Turbulent Times Chapter 63: The plan of King Boduo
(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support of the old brother 'Smoldering Pot'.)
"I thought that the magic stick would use some means to destroy my will, but I didn't expect it to be confinement." Wang Junlin sat cross-legged in the dark room with a sneer on his face.
I have to say that being locked up in a small black room was one of the most horrific punishments in the world. This kind of punishment has nothing to do with the body.
In a small space, the body cannot stand up straight, nor can it lie down, only to squat or sit cross-legged; then there is endless loneliness, endless darkness, absolute silence, as for **** and peeing there, that's not What kind of. As far as Wang Junlin knows, no one can bear this kind of punishment. As long as there is enough time, there are only two results in the end, becoming a lunatic or committing suicide.
Of course, the degree of horror of this punishment is directly related to the size of the space and the length of time.
At the moment, the small black room where Wang Junlin lives is considered to be the smallest space. As for the time, with the vicious and extreme character of King Bo Duo, Wang Junlin estimates that the time will definitely not be short or until he succumbs.
Wang Junlin was imprisoned in a small black room twice in his later life, one time when he injured the instructor in the army. That time not only made him lose the chance to be promoted, but also received extremely severe punishment. One month of confinement sounds like a short time, but in fact few people can bear it. Wang Junlin endured it. He is not crazy, but after leaving the small black room, he has not spoken for a full month, and there is no expression on his face .
The second confinement was when he was a mercenary, and fell into the hands of the enemy. That time it was only ten days, but not only confinement, but also did not let him sleep, every time he was about to fall asleep , there will be an electric shock device connected to his body to wake him up, Wang Junlin was on the verge of collapse in ten days, just when he was about to commit suicide or compromise with the enemy, his companion rescued him.
Wang Junlin pondered while recalling the experience of being confined twice in the later generations. Finally, he decided to stay for a month, and then pretended to surrender to the Boduo Dharma King. It was just how to pretend so that the Boduo Dharma King would not doubt it. The degree must be grasped.
After thinking about the countermeasures, Wang Junlin closed his eyes slightly, and began to practice the nameless exercises in the Dao scroll. Maybe I will get a blessing in disguise, and maybe my skill will break through a certain stage.
Wang Junlin practiced for a whole day. When he opened his eyes, he found a bowl of water and a dry biscuit beside his feet, which were his daily food. He knew there was room at his feet just enough to fit a bowl.
Wang Junlin chewed and ate the dry biscuits slowly, and drank the water dozens of times. He wanted the dry biscuits to be chewed as finely as possible by his teeth, so that the stomach could be fully digested. Digestion and absorption.
Then, he began to practice again.
Five days have passed like this, even though he is practicing, and this is the third time Wang Junlin has experienced this kind of thing, but he can't help but feel inexplicable irritability, irritability, despair, depression, pain and other negative emotions Start to appear.
Wang Junlin knew that this was just the beginning, and he found that the increase of these negative emotions could not be weakened by just concentrating on cultivation, so he decided to sing a song or talk to himself every three hours of cultivation, saying that Talk for a while, or recall the past and plan to think about the future. This is the experience he summed up from his two experiences in the small black house.
On the tenth day, Wang Junlin sang all the songs he could think of, and he didn't know what to say to himself.
On the fifteenth day, Wang Junlin thought about everything he could think of, and began to plan his future, from the rough at the beginning to the detailed planning and thinking at the end.
On the twentieth day, Wang Junlin felt that he was already showing signs of collapse.

"How is that boy?" In Gaochang City's city lord's mansion, Bo Duo Fawang had just finished discussing with Gaochang City Guard Atro, and suddenly remembered Wang Junlin, so he asked casually.
"Report to the national teacher, Wang Junlin seems to be able to persist." A Turkic man who was in charge of this matter hurried forward and said.
King Bo Duo's eyes flashed, he sighed slightly, and said: "Talent, mind, and will are all the best choices, but why don't you want to join my Nestorian sect."
After a pause, King Boduo said again: "Keep an eye on him. If there are signs of suicide or becoming a madman, bring him to see me."
The Turk immediately said yes respectfully.
King Boduo has been very busy these days. In addition to conspiring with the Turkic guard Atero, he has met many people in the past few days, and these people are very mixed, including Turkic people, Tuyuhun people, Semu people, Persians, Tibetans, and even Han Chinese. These people who came were all the leaders or persons in charge of one of the forces in Gaochang City, and behind each of them there were as many as hundreds or as few as hundreds of desperadoes who listened to their words and acted.
In Gaochang City, there is a temple that has been passed down since the Han Dynasty, called Shifa Temple, and there is a very famous monk in the Western Regions, named Shi Dao'an. The real goal of Dharma King Bo Duo this time is Shi Daoan.
Different from other eminent Buddhist monks, Shi Dao'an has nothing to do with the world. He never is biased or vainly tries to convince any forces to believe in Buddhism. , highly respected, and proficient in medical skills, has countless people in his life, so he has a very high prestige in the Western Regions, especially in Gaochang City, where there are countless believers.
That's why Shi Dao'an was regarded as the biggest unrest factor in Gaochang City by Bo Duo Dharma King. His main purpose of coming to Gaochang City this time was to kill Shi Dao'an. But even he didn't dare to do it lightly, he had to make various arrangements before he could do it, otherwise it might cause riots in Gaochang City, which would greatly weaken his prestige.
…
…
Gaochang City has a very special geographical location in the Western Regions. Although it now belongs to the sphere of influence of the Western Turks, it is clear that King Bo Duo is far from satisfied. He wants everyone living in this city to believe in their Nestorianism .
"The light of the Heavenly King is everywhere, and the tentacles of the Heavenly King are everywhere. However, there are always some people in this world who are obsessed with obsession and do not want to be bathed in the glory of the Heavenly King. Since the Heavenly King's wonderful Lunyin The lost lambs can’t be allowed to return to their original source, then I, the sharp blade of the envoy, will tell them what is the right choice.” In the mansion of the Lord of Gaochang City, Bo Duo Fawang has temporarily forgotten Wang Junlin, no matter how amazing Wang Junlin is. Yan, but before he believed in Nestorianism, he was nothing. Letting all people believe in Nestorianism is the greatest hope in Bo Duo Fawang's heart.
These days, everything Bo Duo Dharma King has done is to weaken the influence of Shifa Temple on the people of all ethnic groups in Gaochang City, and to weaken the prestige of Shi Daoan in Gaochang City. It has indeed achieved a certain effect.
In the eyes of King Bo Duo, Shi Dao'an is the biggest obstacle preventing Nestorianism from rapidly developing believers in the Western Regions, and this obstacle must be removed.
For a long time, Boduo Fawang actually dismissed the rule of the country, and even despised the tribal system such as the Western Turks. Because, in his opinion, this kind of dominion only governs the human body, which is the appearance. And what they Nestorians want to do is to rule the spirits and minds of all people.
As far as the country is concerned, if it reaches a certain level, it will be difficult to control.
For example, although the Sui Dynasty now controls the three counties of Wuwei, Zhangye, and Xiping, they are actually limited to cities. The various ethnic groups in the wilderness and grassland are still like a country within a country, and at most they only submit to the Great Sui Dynasty. , and don't even have to pay taxes. But if the people of these tribes became their Nestorian believers, they would not hesitate to dedicate their best things to King Boduo.
So, he doesn't care whether Tong Yehu Khan can unify the Western Turks, even if the herdsmen of Ashina and Hulu Nubi tribe believe in their Nestorianism, he doesn't care who wins or loses at all.
In short, what he cared more about was killing Master Sodaji of the Horunubi tribe and Master Sardin of the Ashina tribe. Therefore, after learning of Suo Daji's whereabouts, he who was leading the army to fight Hulu Nubi did not hesitate to leave the army to chase and kill Suo Daji.
In the same way, he doesn't really care about the ownership of Gaochang City. What he cares about is whether the people in this city are Xintianzun Dharma King and him, or Shi Dao'an of Xinshifa Temple.
The plan has been carried out to the end, and His Holiness Bo Duo issued many orders to the Turkic people one after another in the morning. Constantly, Turkic people came out of the room of Boduo Fawang, and then hurriedly went to do what they should do.
King Bo Duo believes that when everything is going smoothly according to his plan, Shi Daoan has not responded until now, and there is no other result except death.
That is, when Wang Junlin was locked in the small black room for the twenty-fifth day, the bell of Shifa Temple rang early in the morning, and it rang seven times in total.
Although Dharma King Bodo hated Buddhism, it was because he hated Buddhism that he had a very in-depth study of Buddhism.
The origin of bell ringing in Buddhist monasteries is the product of the eastward arrival of Buddhism and the rise of monasteries.
The Sanskrit bell is the Buddha bell (the ghost bell). As the name suggests, it is used for temples to do Buddhist work, or to call monks to go to the temple, chant scriptures and do homework. In addition, such as getting up, sleeping, eating, etc., all use bells as signs.
"The big bell in the jungle is the beginning of the beginning. The dawn breaks the long night and wakes up the sleep; the evening strike makes you feel dizzy and sleepy." Don't let go of slumber. One should get up early and take the time to practice; while the bell at night is slow first and then urgent, reminding practitioners to feel dizzy and ignorant. The day's work and rest of the temple begins with the sound of the bell and ends with the sound of the bell.
And today, the bell rang seven times because the Buddhist event held once a month in Shifa Temple is today, and the most important link in Bo Duo's plan is today.
