Chapter 505: Obtaining Buddha's Relics [Subscription Request]

The emperor's bedroom is generally not large.

The purpose is to "store wind and gather energy". There are similar sayings in Feng Shui and medicine.

The concubines' bedrooms were the same, a small room about ten steps long and wide, with a screen of snow with birds alighting on tree branches and winter plum blossoms in bloom placed at the entrance.

Behind the screen was a wooden frame with the clothes of the two women hung on it.

The room is filled with a faint fragrance.

The two women slept on the couch, with the watery moonlight pouring in from the window, highlighting the ups and downs of their bodies under the thin quilt.

A delicate nose, a smooth forehead, slightly closed eyes, and thick and straight eyelashes.

Two quilts, one apricot color and one light yellow.

The silhouette beneath the quilt is alluring.

I don't know who stuck a little foot out from under the quilt, with a graceful arch and a foot as white as the first snow, so delicate and exquisite that it was beyond words.

Who should start with?
The timid and shy one stayed behind, because even when she woke up she would pretend to be asleep and would not dare to move.

……

early morning.

Cao Cao actually did not go to the quiet room to practice. This was the first time in history. It showed how hard he practiced last night.

It was daybreak.

Cao Cao stood up, dressed neatly, and went to court in a refreshed state.

The bedroom was quiet.

Diao Chan and Zhen Mi slept until the afternoon and still felt dizzy and tired all over. They looked at each other and felt shy.

in the afternoon.

Cao Cao received a piece of intelligence from Shuanghua Honggun, who had his spy secretly sent back from India.

This includes maps of the entire territory of India and Kushan.

There is also the approximate distribution of the two armies' troops in the southern war zone of India.

At present, Cao Wei has a large number of discs that have been transferred to India and Kushan to explore various types of information.

Cao Cao stared at the strategic map sent back by the spy for a long time.

The sun is setting in the west.

He ended his busy day early, had people prepare wine and food, and had a small gathering with six or seven people including Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia.

The main course was roast duck.

Cao Cao described the general method from later generations, which is to roast it with fruit wood until the oil overflows, making the outside crispy and the inside plump.

After slicing, take a bite and the aroma of fat will fill your stomach.

Pair it with other dishes and pour some warm wine, it is delicious.

"Is the beef delicious?" Cao Cao suddenly asked.

"good to eat."

Dian Wei was eating hand-torn lamb legs and responded hastily, "I ate it a few times in Tianzhu, and I missed it when I came back."

Xu Chu secretly poked him.

Cao Cao: "So the cattle raised in the farm outside the city have started to go missing again in the past few days."

"The Zhuangzi side reported it to us and asked us to check if they were our people. If they were, they would not be on guard and would open the door for our people to steal."

Xu Chu looked at Cao Cao and shook his head like a rattle:

"I didn't steal."

Dian Wei: "It's not me either."

Cao Cao pointed at the big, stupid guy Yin who was sitting next to him waiting to be fed:

"Did it steal it?"

Yin blinked his big eyes, silently raised his tiger paw, pointed at Dian Wei, and then at Xu Chu, meaning that they were the ones who asked me to steal it.

Xu Chu and Dian Wei said in unison: "It's really not us.

We didn’t steal, nor did we let Yin steal.”

The two of them obviously colluded with each other in their testimony, denying three times in a row and letting Yin take the blame.

Cao Cao: "In the past few years, people were not allowed to eat beef because of the shortage of livestock. Most people had no food to eat, so the cattle had to be kept for farming.

But the situation is different now, and it’s okay to eat beef if you want to.”

No problem?

Dian Wei and Xu Chu looked at each other.

Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others remained calm and listened.

"In recent years, the livestock production of our Great Wei has increased, especially after we acquired the grassland, and we have vigorously expanded the livestock industry.

In Wusun and other places, cattle and sheep moved eastward into the grasslands, expanding the breeding of cattle and sheep. It was no longer the case before the founding of the country that people would just eat a few cattle.

Especially you two, I can make an exception, if you two are greedy, I will give you some livestock, cattle and sheep."

Dian Wei swallowed his saliva.

Xu Chu tried to probe: "Actually...it would be fine if I were the one who stole the cow."

Yin silently retracted its big claws that were pointing at Dian and Xu, and moved closer to Cao Cao, indicating that it was one of them and that it also wanted to eat beef and mutton.

Your Majesty used a little trick to make the three idiots admit that they were the cattle thieves.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and looked at the two men and the tiger.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu immediately understood and felt like they had been fooled.

"Your Majesty, it was actually Xu Zhongkang (Da Dian) who asked me to steal it." The two spoke at the same time, starting the second round of biting.

Everyone laughed.

"Your Majesty, my Great Wei has been mobilizing supplies recently. I think we are going to attack the Kushans." Cheng Yu changed the subject.

"Ah."

"I plan to use two or three wars to completely defeat the Kushan Empire from its peak, swallow up its land and people, and control India. At the same time, I will make the countries further west dare not talk about war after the Kushan Empire."

sunset.

The banquet was almost over when Xun Yu finished his work in the front hall and rushed over to join in.

When Cao Cao and others were drinking together, it was at another location in Yecheng.

Mahajuddhava and Parvati met again.

"I will set off for home in three days. You must be careful in everything you do in Wei."

Da Jingtian reminded him, "I have been traveling around Wei these past few days and have observed its military strength. It has at least four or five generals who have killed the Great Buddha, and 300,000 to 500,000 elite soldiers in armor. Its national fortune is unmatched by any country I have seen in the past.

We may have to form an alliance with Wei for a long time to come."

Alliance is a term used by Mahajuddhāna to describe himself and save face.

To be more precise, it is dependence on or obedience to the Wei Dynasty.

Parvati frowned and said:
"When the Kushans migrated westward, there was a rumor that they had obtained the secrets left by the gods, which allowed them to rapidly expand their tribe and defeat Parthia and India.

Took our place and built a country."

Mahavihara said solemnly: “The oracle given to me by God said that the Kushans did obtain something in those days, which is what Zoroastrianism has been looking for.

After that, they had the full support of Zoroastrianism.”

Before Buddhism entered the Kushan Empire, Zoroastrianism had always been the state religion of many countries including the Kushan Empire and Parthia.

Zoroastrianism, also known as Fire Worship, has developed very widely.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

They were also the most influential religion before the birth of Christianity, with influence spread across many countries in Central Asia.

"After Buddhism entered Kushan, for some unknown reason, the main forces of Zoroastrianism withdrew from Kushan and developed in the Parthian Empire of the Parthians.

This gave Buddhism an opportunity to grow stronger.”

Da Jingtian said: "I remember that there was a vice-pope in Zoroastrianism who invited you to participate in the selection of saints in their religion.

But their real intention was to take advantage of the opportunity to allow Zoroastrianism to develop and enter India, so we rejected it. "

Thousands of years ago, when civilization was just beginning, the Aryans, who originally lived on the grasslands of Central Asia, crossed the Hindu Kush Mountains and poured into the northwest of the Indian subcontinent, creating their own religion and culture.

They worshipped light, fire, and believed in the god of fire. This was the early worship of the sun god, which later developed into Zoroastrianism.

The core members of Zoroastrianism are mostly Aryans.

Parvati was one of the Aryans who entered India that year.

So Zoroastrianism traced back to its origins and found Parvati, wanting her to participate in the selection of saints.

Parvati: “If the Kushans are faced with difficulties, they will probably cooperate fully with Zoroastrianism again, just like they did in the past.

If the power of Zoroastrianism is added, will the advantage of Wei be offset? "

Da Jingtian shook his head and said, “Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, and Kushanism are all our enemies, not our friends.

Regardless of whether the Great Wei has a big or small advantage, we must cooperate with the Great Wei to ensure that Tianzhu will not be swallowed up by the Kushan Empire."

Parvati nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will do what I should do in Wei."

A few days after the two had a brief discussion, Dajingtian set out on his return journey.

The grassland in May is already blooming with lush greenery.

In the mountains and fields to the north of the Western Regions, Bu Liugu was riding a chestnut horse, galloping like the wind.

When she arrived at the place where the message was agreed to be delivered, she saw a majestic figure standing on a low hill.

The wind blew, and the figure's fur coat fluttered, and his face was as cold and hard as a marble sculpture.

Afu Yu.

"Master, why did you come here in person?" Bu Liugu exclaimed excitedly.

There was no obvious movement from Afu Yu, but his figure suddenly appeared near Bu Liugu.

"I would be worried if you don't come to see us during our fight with the Wei people."

Afuyu's eyes flickered: "If the Kushans lose again, we will lose our last chance. The connection with Kebinen is even more crucial."

Bu Liugu was surprised and asked, "Master, do you mean to suspect that Ke Bineng has a problem?"

Afu Yu: "The Emperor of Wei is good at using strategies.

There are also several strategists under his command. We have been fighting with them for several years, and we have been at a disadvantage in all our overt and covert schemes. We have no chance of losing again."

"Be careful this time."

Bu Liugu recalled his recent meetings with Ke Bineng:

"Master knows my background. Ke Bi and I have known each other for a long time. I understand him. He will never sincerely submit to the Wei people."

Afuyu shook his head: "I was in Kushan and came into contact with Buddhism. I learned that they have a secret technique called the Appearance of All Beings, which can use the luck to transform the face, even the bones, and the voice without revealing any flaws.

Qi and luck are invisible and intangible, yet they have infinite magical uses, so we must guard against them."

Bu Liugu was surprised and asked, "Could it be that Master's suspicion that Ke Bineng is fake is a means for the Wei people to control the grassland?"

Afu Yu: "After I learned about the Buddhist concept of sentient beings, I thought of this possibility. So I was worried and came to see it myself."

"Since you and Ke Bineng have known each other since childhood, you might as well try him out in this regard.

If he has a problem, don't show it, and we will make the Wei people suffer a great loss instead."

Bu Liugu's chest heaved violently, and it took him a while before he responded.

……

That night, Cao Cao came to the quiet room and practiced Fuxi's Dragon Creation Diagram. He used the dragon soul to guide the Purple Star in the sky and the spiritual charm of heaven and earth to promote the improvement of his internal strength.

After finishing his training, he called up the entry and took a look.

[Dragon Soul Evolution Value: 98.2]

This number has almost stopped growing recently and has remained unchanged for a long time.

Cao Cao thought: The tremendous fortune brought by defeating and annexing the Kushans should be able to allow my dragon soul to reach perfection and be promoted to the ancestral dragon soul.

Otherwise, it will take a long time to accumulate, which may take more than ten years, or to earn luck from other things.

Cao Cao took out the three Buddha relics.

These three relics contain not only the Buddha's heritage and supernatural powers, but also the tremendous luck accumulated by Buddhists over hundreds of years and from believers.

The three relics are light gold in color and as transparent as glass.

It seemed as if three small Buddhist pure land worlds had evolved inside it.

There is also a phantom of the Buddha inside the wisdom relic, with Buddhist texts and Buddha light intertwined.

"Can the magical powers and luck contained in these three relics help my dragon soul improve?"

A thought flashed through Cao Cao’s mind.

The next moment, his dragon soul swam out from his body, and his black dragon body was filled with majesty.

hum-

The Buddha's relics shook, as if sensing the crisis.

Cao Cao's dragon soul opened its mouth and sucked hard at the three relics.
