Chapter 979: Journey to the West

The army of the "devils".

For thousands of years, the people of the countries of the subcontinent have never seen a strange face from the East. And in the Buddha Kingdom, only the appearance of demons is unfamiliar.

They were full of fear of this strange power, when the iron cavalry of Great Qin appeared on the land of the former Mauryan Empire, when many principality nobles submitted to Emperor Hongwu. The people of this land called the Hongwu Emperor of the mysterious Great Qin a demon, and his powerful army was the army of the "demons".

"The Buddha will bless us!"

The soldiers of the Hundred Vehicles country, in the sound of Sanskrit singing, mustered up the courage to go out of the city to meet the army of the "demons".

The war elephant raised its nose and shouted into the sky, and the iron hooves of the horses soon laid a position outside the city. The war elephants were in the middle, estimated at a thousand elephants, the infantry followed the elephants, just as the elephants followed the tanks in later generations, and the cavalry was on the wings.

It is estimated that there are 20,000 people.

Subsequently, a large number of monks in robes appeared at the top of the city, filled with fear. However, they followed the wise elders, and sat cross-legged on the head of the city, and began to sing loudly. For a moment, the calming Sanskrit sound echoed in the sky.

The war elephant had four soldiers on horseback, three archers, and one spear bearer and shield. Most people have no clothes on their upper body, just a short white skirt wrapped around their lower body. Only a few elite soldiers have tops and light armor, and the lower body is still a "Totti" white dress.

I saw a very large, luxuriously decorated, golden war elephant come out, with a red embroidered carpet on its back, and Sudharoni I was sitting on it. Behind him, a person holds a red and yellow umbrella cover to shade. I saw that this person was wearing a crown like a heavenly seal, and his ears were pulled since he was a child. It is longer and bigger than Liu Bei's. It's just like a Buddha. And his cheeks are painted with red makeup, and there is rouge on his mouth, and Tang Seng's appearance will be embarrassed when he sees it.

The Qin army, since Ma Chao and below, had never seen such a battle array, especially one of the thousand war elephants, which was so huge that it gave people an invincible suffocation.

However, the battle formation of the trapping army did not move at all. In the eyes of the warriors, there is only the heat of battle.

"These war elephants are extremely difficult to kill, and the order is sent down, and at the beginning, the whole army retreats five miles, and sets up the three talent formations of heaven and earth, and when they fight, the horses do not stop for half a step." Ma Chao came all the way here and experienced many principalities. Naturally, it is also known that elephants are fighting prowess. But he is not afraid, continuous bloodletting can make these huge mounts lose their strength quickly.

Hand-to-hand combat is stupid. Fighting is the best policy.

The officers and men of the three armed forces are full of fighting spirit.

However, the King's Praetorian Guard, which appeared next, was inevitably in an uproar even for the most ruthless warriors. I saw a group of female warriors running out of the war elephant. Wrapped in a red "sari", her round and strong legs are revealed when she runs. A great sword is stuck in his waist.

The Great Sword Female Praetorian Guard, once appeared in the records of the Seleugu messengers. According to the account, the king of the subcontinent was surrounded by female guards with large swords at their waists, who participated in their daily activities.

The subcontinent has a long tradition of women participating in war, and there are records of female warriors in the Kushan Empire, and their god of war is the goddess Durga.

"General?!" Liao Hua was immediately dumbfounded, the women of Daqin are very reserved, they only show their heads and hands every day, and they have to turn off the lights when they are there. This hundred times the country is good, and he ran out with his waist and back exposed. Looking at the big sword on his waist and his cold appearance, it seems that he is quite combative.

If Qin Feng was here, he would definitely scoff at it, this is much tighter than the beach bag in later generations.

Ma Chao was also stunned, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he could immediately sense that the battle formation behind him was a little lax, and the big gun in his hand was raised, "The battlefield is ruthless, as long as you hold a weapon, you are the enemy!" ”

Enemy!

The warriors of the Legion have never feared any enemy, nor have they shown mercy to any enemy. In the hearts of the soldiers, on this battlefield, there is no distinction between men and women, only comrades and enemies.

At this time, the heart of Sadogaroni I, who was sitting on the largest war elephant, was extremely heavy. The powerful Kushan Empire to the west was always calculating his life. Although the Kushans also believed in Buddhism, they wanted to turn their people into slaves.

And today, is the mysterious East finally going to do it?

As the king, he knew more about the East, and as soon as he patted the elephant's head, the war elephant stepped out with earth-shattering steps, "I am the king of the Hundred Vehicles, the army from the Eastern Ritual State, has your emperor lost his benevolence and began to believe in the devil?" In his opinion, Emperor Hongwu of Great Qin must have been lost in the powerful power and thrown into the arms of Moluo. Just like the demon king Bosun and Devadatta, who framed the Buddha, they were all good disciples of the Buddha in the past.

After the translation is paraphrased. (The translation is not clear...... )。

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that it was not as expected by the emperor, so he took out a roll of paper from his arms and opened it to take a look. Immediately full of confidence, he put it away and replied: "The Buddha Kingdom has descended in the Ye capital of Daqin, and the Great Sun Rulai has passed down the Dharma metaphor: the world of ordinary people has collapsed, and there is not much Buddha nature in the hearts of the descendants of the Mauryan Dynasty, which has led to the invasion of many evil countries, and the Buddha nature of Great Qin in Middle Earth is growing day by day." ”

When Ma Chao said this, he also hung up his weapon and said kindly: "The Buddha has chosen Daqin to rebuild the Buddha country, and all those who worship the Buddha in the world must be obedient." Otherwise, at the moment of silence, the soul will be scattered, and it will not be possible to travel west to Elysium. ”

"What!" When he heard this, he almost fell off the elephant.

There is also a Buddha in Daqin, and all the way to the principality here worships the Buddha. So Liao Hua also knew some things about the Buddha, and when he saw that the morale of the soldiers on the opposite side was also low, he admired it very much, and said that General Ma Chao would also blow it, look at these people who blow it, all of them are stupid. He couldn't help it, quietly walked to his side, stretched out his thumb and said: "General Ma is really amazing, this Buddhist language should be very in place, look at the people who scare them." ”

Ma Chao was very embarrassed, clasped his fists and saluted to the sky, and said in awe: "This is not what General Ben said, it was taught by the former emperor, and I almost forgot it just now, so I took it out and looked at it." ”

"There is such a thing!" Liao Hua was taken aback. Hurriedly said: "How did the emperor not know the prophet?" ”

Ma Chao said with a smile: "The emperor and the saint were born, so they naturally understand the customs ...... distant places. ”

Liao Hua was in awe. Lian said: "Yes, yes, the emperor is the brother of the Emperor of Heaven." I remember once the emperor said it. I also drank wine with the Buddha ....... ”

The monks on the city wall stopped singing, their faces changed greatly, and they lost their voices: "The Buddha Kingdom has descended in Daqin, and the Buddha has given up this already dirty land!" ”

The elders, led by the Archmage of the Gyala Leaves, all trembled with white beards, and it was difficult to hide the astonishment in their eyes. In their view, it is very likely that this is true, and although the Buddha preaches here, the Buddha is equal to all beings. Now that this place has become chaotic, it is natural for the Buddha to move the Buddha kingdom to another place.

Although he worships the Buddha, he does not have only the Dharma in his heart like the monks behind him, and he still has a desire for power and status in his heart. He didn't expect these people from the East to be so proficient in Buddhism, and they used it despicably to break the morale of his own army.

Sotararoni stood up on the back of the elephant and cried out, "Don't listen to the devil's deception, how can you believe the devil's words." The Buddha preached under the Bodhi tree in the imperial palace, how could he give up this land. What about going to a different place to rebuild the Buddha kingdom? ”

"Seems to make sense!" The monks, soldiers, and elders of the Hundred Vehicles pondered.

"Bodhi has no tree, and the Buddha country is not a platform, there is nothing originally, and it can be built anywhere." No one thought of it. Ma Chao unexpectedly said a poem.

Liao Hua was shocked, he didn't believe that Ma Chao could recite such a poem, "It must be taught by the emperor." ”

On the top of the city. Many monks who are proficient in the Dharma stood up with a bang, these people who only have the Dharma in their hearts. There is no kingdom, no concept of nation. There is only Buddha in the heart. They saluted Ma Chao from afar, and then said to Kunara: "Great Elder, can the demon say such an unveiling? ”

"It's ......." Kunara couldn't answer.

The eminent monks said, "Then, they are not the army of demons, but the protectors of the Buddha." They came here to preach the Buddha's parables. Then, we will abandon this filthy land and go to the new Western Heaven: Great Qin! ”

Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, "The emperor is really a saint and ......." "Only a saint can predict the prophet, and in a few words, he can make the enemy surrender.

In fact, Qin Feng was just thinking about it, he came from the later life and knew what the subcontinent believed. He was afraid that Ma Chao would encounter a stubborn monk or something, if he killed the monk, it would be a pity not to say anything, and it would arouse public resentment. Therefore, he taught some of the essence of Buddhism in later generations, but I didn't expect Ma Chao to also learn and apply it lively, and he saw miraculous results.

Liao Hua scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, the emperor is so wise and powerful, and he is victorious for thousands of miles, how can he not like it as a general.

When the city under the city heard this, he was shocked and secretly scolded a monk for being pedantic, so he raised his spear on the elephant and shouted: "This is the devil's demagogic words, everyone doesn't have to listen to them, kill these people, and the devil will naturally show his true body!" ”

"Demons!"

"Demons!" The soldiers of the Hundred Riders Kingdom shouted.

Ma Chao had an idea, pointed the silver gun in his hand, and refuted: "Nonsense, Suta Karoni is the one who threw himself into the arms of the demons, he resisted the Buddha Yu from Great Qin, and you ......." Ma Chao pointed at the enemy soldier again, "It is inevitable that he will not be able to travel west and go to the Buddha country because of this!" You follow those who are possessed by demons, don't you want to travel west? ”

"Wow! I can't ride the crane to the west! ”

"I can't ascend to heaven and go to the Buddha Kingdom!" This had a great impact on the soldiers of the Hundred Vehicles Kingdom, who did not enjoy happiness when they were alive in this life, and their biggest dream was to travel west with a crane and go to the Buddha country to live a paradise-like life.

Sutargaroni's face turned the color of pig's liver, a pair of angry Buddha's ears shook and flicked, and his big red lips turned into a yaksha, shouting: "The whole army assault, assault!" He saw that the soldiers were already confused by the enemy's words, and he didn't care about the position, so he rushed out first, and then said, if not, maybe he wouldn't be able to rush out for a while.

The king is the king after all, and after the soldiers were stunned for a moment, they rushed out in a swarm.

Suddenly, the war elephants neighed, and the war horses galloped.

"Order, the whole army retreats, open up space for detours!" Ma Chao is not afraid of battle, and he has been prepared for a long time. (To be continued......)
