Chapter Twelve The Great Nirvana Sutra

"Shut up your bird's beak!" The eyes of the westward journey were cold and cold, and the flesh on the cheeks twitched violently, trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

"The reason why the situation in the Western Turkish Kingdom quickly lost control and the reason why the Western Regions Duwei Mansion was slow to respond to the crisis was directly related to the sudden decline of the Northwest Wolf. It was all because of you..." Xixing glared at Galan again, "And you are all because you are arrogant, arrogant, domineering, and unruly, unable to tell the rules, and doing whatever you want. In this world, you dare not do anything? You plunder the palace of Achaelu, robbed the Khan of the Turkish people, ignored the orders of the State Dharma King, and openly disobeyed the orders of the Western Regions Duwei Mansion and destroyed the strategy of the Western Regions Duwei Mansion. All of these are not serious crimes of beheading? Who can tolerate you lawless demons? The disaster of Yiwudao was born from this, do you know?"

Buyi, Jiangduhou, and Jialan sat upright, with a fierce murderous aura in his eyes.

"Who betrayed us?" Buyi asked gritted his teeth.

"You found out? Who is it? Which traitor?" Jiang Duhou shouted loudly.

At this moment, Galan's handsome face became extremely ferocious, her eyes were as clear as long swords that were unsheathed, and her murderous aura was fierce.

Walking west, taking a deep breath, your eyes showing a painful look.

"The disaster of Yiwudao was that the northwest wolf was 78% off. Most of the brothers died in the battlefield. The main officials of the Western Regions Duwei Mansion, three generals of the 12 guards of Longyou, four Wu Ben, seven Wu Ya Lang, nine Ying Yang, and eleven Ying Jilang generals were implicated, either dismissed or transferred from the northwest, so there were hundreds of officials at all levels affected."

The sound of traveling west was dry, the hands were trembling slightly, and the face was extremely gloomy.

"At the beginning, all the wolves in the northwest went to Luomanshan (Tianshan) to guard Nijue, Luo Khan went east to Chang'an. Only four people knew about the route to Beijing. The brigade commander Jialan, the special service Ashinaboluo, the commander of the Western Regions Commander Pei Hongce, and Honghua left behind Yuan Hongsi, and there was no possibility of leaking the secret. However, we were ambushed on the way and almost wiped out the entire army. If it weren't for Jialan's plan to "build the plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly" sent Khan away from the interstellar road, the Khan would undoubtedly die."

"Garan lost his mind due to this blow, and believed that the Secret Service Ashinaboluo betrayed the secret, and even gave the death of Pao Ze to the Nijuechuluo Khan and the strategy of the Western Regions Duwei Mansion. He caught up with Khan and started a massacre and almost cut off Khan's head. Fortunately, the old general Xue Shixiong arrived immediately, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. The old general personally reported to the emperor, which saved Galan's life. The most important reason was that he suspected that the person who leaked the secret came from the center."

The three of them were shocked. The emperor was like in the heavenly court to them, and the center was also out of reach.

"The old general was ordered to welcome the Khan, and he came and went in a hurry, but before leaving Hexi, he summoned me and told me not to investigate the truth, so as not to cause a murder." The westward journey continued, "The old general said that if Khan of Nijuechuluo died, Chang'an's plan to make three-point Western Turks would inevitably fail. In this way, the war in the Western Land would resurrect, and the emperor's plan to expedite the East Expedition to Goryeo would inevitably be postponed indefinitely. There were many people in Chang'an who opposed the emperor's expedition to Goryeo, and it was impossible to find out the leaked person."

"I rejected Lao Shuai and vowed to investigate to the end, pay the blood debt and ask Lao Shuai for help. Lao Shuai was helpless and reminded me that if I insist on investigating, I will start with Yuan Hongsi, the left-behind Honghua."

"At that time, Yuan Hongsi was appointed as the new Honghua left behind and was in charge of the military of the 13 counties of Longyou. At the beginning of his tenure, he must make some adjustments to the Northwest Army. The Northwest forces were in a mixed manner and it was difficult to do it, but at this moment, the disaster of Yiwudao occurred, which made him complete the adjustment of the Northwest Army without any effort. This matter seemed to be inseparable from Yuan Hongsi, but when you think about it carefully, the traces of this matter were too obvious. Yuan Hongsi would not be so blatant. It was obvious that someone wanted to deliberately blame him."

"Chang'an used this inference as a reason to cover up this matter lightly, one was to expedition to Goryeo, and the other was to ensure the stability of the northwest. However, it is conjectured that the key to this case lies in Yuan Hongsi, who made the most profit. After the disaster of Yiwudao, Yuan Hongsi had already controlled the Northwest Army. If Chang'an investigated in depth, it would inevitably cause shocks in the Northwest Army, which was very unfavorable to the entire Northwest situation. Based on this, I believe that Yuan Hongsi was the mastermind behind him and launched a secret investigation of him."

"You dare to investigate Honghua and stay behind? Do you dare to ignore the old coach's words?" Buyi shook his head and admired them. He was still scolding them righteously and sternly just now, but in fact, if it is to be arbitrary and abuse the law, the Northwest Wolf will be the first to recommend this brother, but his illegal acts are just a legal cloak.

"Those who kill my brother will be punished!" Xixing gritted his teeth and said, "For more than a year, I have worked hard and spent countless money, and finally found a trace of my eyes."

"Is that old thief?" Jiang Duhou asked sternly.

"I found a person."

"Who?" Jiang Duhou's eyes widened and his roared like thunder.

"Li Mi, Duke of Pushan County."

Buyi frowned and looked puzzled. He had never heard of this person.

"Where is this thief? Where is the bird man?" Jiang Duhou asked repeatedly.

Jialan looked surprised, "Li Mi? Duke of Pushan County?" His expression clearly showed that he knew this person.

When he traveled west, Buyi and Jiangdu Hou looked at him together.

Jialan's eyebrows were frowning, as if he had thought of something that had been gone for a long time, his eyes were blurred, and gradually, he seemed to have realized something, but his eyes were melancholy, and a deep sadness appeared between his eyebrows. After a long time, he sighed and said something stupid, "The sky in Middle Earth is about to change."

"Do you know this person?" Xixing asked.

"I heard from my master." Jialan said, "This family is a prominent family and a noble son. He is in Chang'an. I don't know why he has something to do with the Northwest?"

"It is reasonable to know this person as a monk Huixin." Xixing said, "This person's ancestors were Li Bi, Duke of Wei, one of the eight pillar states of the previous dynasty. His father was Li Kuan, the Duke of Pushan County of our great Sui Dynasty. He was the eldest son of Li Kuan. He inherited his father's title. He lives in Chang'an. He specializes in military arts and classics and history without intending to have a career. He is quite famous in Kyoto."

Buyi and Jiangduhou looked at each other and sneered. No matter how powerful he was, as long as his hands were stained with my brother's blood, he would die without a place to bury him.

"The reason I targeted this person is because he was very close to Yuan Hongsi. Not only did they frequently communicate with each other, they often sent their close friends to Jincheng and Chang'an." Xixing said, "He had a close relationship with Yang Xuangan, Minister of Rites and Minister of War Hu Sizheng, and often gathered secretly to discuss the current situation. According to the news I received, both of them opposed the emperor's expedition to Goryeo."

"Yang Xuangan was the son of Yang Su, Duke of Chu. During his lifetime, Yang Su was in power and had countless disciples and officials. He is currently the commander of the Western Regions, many generals of the 12 Guards of Longyou, Wu Ben, Wu Ya Lang, Ying Yang Lang, and Ying Jilang are all old friends of Yang Su."

At this point when traveling west, the answer is about to come out. Although the evidence is seriously insufficient, most of them are speculations and assumptions through a piece of data, this is enough for the Northwest Wolves. As long as the target is found, the next step is to seek evidence with force. As long as the evidence obtained can roughly infer the truth, they will have to act and start a massacre.

"This trip is happening, we will go to Chang'an." The tone of the westbound journey is unquestionable, "Those who kill people will be killed. The blood debt will be paid for blood!"

Buyi and Jiang Duhou agreed.

Galan didn't say anything. He looked up at the starry sky, with complex eyes, pain, compassion, and fear of the future. Mother, forgive me, this time I have to go to Middle Earth, I have to go, I have no choice, forgive me.

"Kill!" Galan squeezed out a cold word from his teeth.

The atmosphere in Qiemo City is heavy, with the autumn wind whistling on the streets, the leaves flying, and the people are rarely seen, as if the vitality is gone, leaving only the withered yellow tree branches that look up and ask about the sky, and a few birds that fall on the ruins and walls that close their eyes and sleep.

Galan sighed lowly, and his eyes passed over the city with a lonely bird flying over the sky, looking at a bright red sunset in the sky. Perhaps it was due to mood, the sunset was like a fire gradually extinguished in the furnace, or like a beauty who had passed away before, and wanted to engrave her most beautiful moment in the memory of life, which was extremely magnificent and infinitely desolate.

The sound of a big horn blowing in the morning light sounded again in my ears, the sound of horse hooves roaring on the battlefield, and the figure of brave men and women appearing in front of me, and I see scarlet blood flowers flying under the long sword.

The desolate and sadness of those dead souls, the despair of the orphans and widows, the soul-suming banners trembling in the desert wind and sand, the Tuyuhun warriors who were crying, and the Fuyun Khan who waved his spear and vowed to kill him, were probably cursing himself at this moment, and putting the most vicious spell on the most brutal enemy.

Galan slowly lowered his head, opened his hands, and looked at him silently. He saw a pair of blood-stained hands, saw the wronged soul under the knife roaring in the sea of ​​blood, and saw his heart suffering in purgatory.

He closed his eyes with difficulty, closed his hands together, and recited the "Mahasattva Sutra" silently, "At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahasattva of Glass Light, and the 84,000 Bodhisattva Mahasattva. He heard that this Dharma had already jumped in the seven magnificent trees in the sky. He respectfully put his hands together and said to the Buddha. World Honored One. I received the diligent teachings of the Tathagata. I realized what I heard and did not hear. I also made the 84,000 Bodhisattvas deeply understand all dharmas and not reborn..."

Gradually, the pain on his face began to fade away, and the chanting gradually sounded, "... At that time, the World Honored One told the Fearless Bodhisattva. Good man. Ask you casually, I should distinguish and liberation for you. At that time, the fearless Bodhisattvas and 84,000 Bodhisattvas all got up from their seats. They even put on their clothes and knelt down and said to the Buddha. The World Honored One. What karma should be created in this land and be born in that world. How can the Bodhisattvas in this land achieve wisdom? The elephant king among humans has great power and virtue. He can understand it with all kinds of practices, wisdom and quickness and hearing..."

The door curtain was tilted, Bu Yi and Jiang Duhou walked in one after another.

The room was very dark, and Galan's tall body stood at the window, blocking the dim light, only seeing a dim outline, and hearing a clear and elegant Buddhist voice.

Buyi sighed silently and shook his head gently.

"We just know he can't get better." Jiang Duhou's voice showed a hint of helplessness, "We can kill people too, he can kill people too. Why can we face blood calmly, but he can't?"

"You are a wild beast, you are no longer a human," said Buyi. "And he is a wild beast when he kills people, and when he doesn't kill people, this is the reason."

"Since he cannot face blood and cannot accept cruel killing, why do he still fight on the battlefield?" Jiang Duhou said disdainfully, "He can put down his butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot. There are so many temples in the world, where is there no place to live?"

The Buyi frowned slightly and asked, "How many people did he kill in the morning?"

"I don't know." Jiang Duhou said, "He first entered the formation alone to attract the main force of Achai Lu, and protected us to enter the city first, and then broke through the numerous encirclements of Achai Lu and fought out a bloody path. How many people did you think he killed?"

The commoner stopped talking and shook his hand at Jiang Duhou, signaling him to be calm.

Jiang Duhou turned around and left, "Let's go and clean up. There is a strange feeling everywhere in the city. I'm afraid something will happen, so it's better to prepare early to prevent an accident."

The house became quiet, and Galan's Singing of Shrine echoed in the twilight.

"... At that time, the World Honored One said: Do not harm all lives, adhere to all prohibitions, and receive the Buddha's subtle teachings, and then you will be born in a country of unmoving; do not take away other people's wealth, always give benefits to everything, create a monk's house, and then you will be born in a country of unmoving... Seeing that he gains benefits, he will always be happy, and does not have a jealousy, and will be born in a country of unmoving; do not annoy sentient beings, always be born in a country of compassion, and does not have convenience and evil, and then you will be born in a country of unmoving... If you are the scriptures, and you will be born in a country of unmoving, and if you can listen to writing, uphold, and recite them, and secretly store the Buddhas, you will be born in a country of unmoving... At that time, the Fearless Bodhisattva Mahasattva said to the Buddha. World Honored One. Now I know that the karma I have created is born in that country. This is the light that shines all the noble virtues. I have consulted for mercy on all sentient beings..."

The common man sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and listened with a focused expression, as if an old monk had entered into meditation.

Qiemo City merges into darkness.

The Buddhist singing in the room quietly ended, and Galan looked calm and turned slowly.

Buyi stood up, walked to Galan, and asked with concern, "How is the injury?"

"The wounds of flesh and blood are insignificant."

"Can you control your mind?"

"There is a bloodthirsty beast here, it will devour my soul, everything about me." Galan pointed to his chest and whispered, "I feel like it is blending into my bloodline. Once it devours my soul, I will become a beast, a man-eating beast."

"The northwest wolf is a wild beast, whether it is a brother, a bear, or me, they are all wild beasts." Buyi's voice was low, with a hint of sadness in his loneliness, "You might not have been with us, maybe you shouldn't have been on the battlefield at the beginning."

"I want to be a wild beast, but I'm scared, very scared." Galan looked at the darkness outside the window, and his hoarse voice was like a long river of vicissitudes. "I was not a person from this world, but I was here by chance. I couldn't adapt to this world. This is a world full of blood and killing. The world is about to collapse. Countless bloodthirsty beasts will rush out of hell, countless creatures will be swallowed by them, and in the end there is only a piece of ruins and a pile of white bones."

Buyi smiled bitterly and shook his head. Jiang Duhou was right. Jialan's illness was not cured. On the contrary, it was even worse. He even regarded himself as Jialan's patron saint.

Buyi reached out and hugged Galan's shoulder, "If there is really a day when you and my brothers join forces to kill all the wild beasts that eat people, drive them back to hell, and we will save the creatures in the world."

Suddenly, the sound of the big horn soared into the sky from the city, followed by the earth-shaking sound of war drums coming from outside the city, and then a ball of fire exploded in the darkness, tearing the darkness apart in an instant.
