Chapter 237
The Master Padmasambhava in front of him is none other than the young monk Li Ye met in Humi Country.

At this moment, Li Ye suddenly understood that Master Padmasambhava didn't know the future, but he asked himself to sweat it!
But Li Ye still had some doubts in his heart. In the Lotus Temple of Humi Country, how did Master Lianhuasheng know that he was a general of the Tang Army?The guide did not meet him.

Why didn't Master Padmasambhava meet him in the country of protecting honey, but lead him to pull Khan?

Also, how could Master Padmasambhava be so young?
Master Lianhuasheng seemed to know what Li Ye was thinking, and said with a slight smile: "Everything is an illusion, don't be confused by the Dharma in front of you."

Li Ye immediately understood what he meant, he was just a young Dharma figure, not actually young anymore.

Li Ye knelt down and saluted respectfully, "I have a lot of confusion in my heart, I beg my master to clear up my confusion!"

Master Padmasambhava nodded, "You are trapped in doubts, why not I, general, please!"

Master Padmasambhava invited Li Ye to sit down in the wooden hall, and smiled at him, "Monks don't tell lies. I didn't rely on some supernatural powers to know the general. A group of Tang army soldiers came outside Humi King City and bought all the goods in the market. Grain is known throughout the city, and then a Han appeared in front of me, of course I know that you are the Tang army general who bought the rice, apart from them, there are no other Han in Humi."

It turned out that Li Ye understood why Lianhuasheng knew that he was a general of the Tang army.

"What if I'm just a Tang Army soldier?"

Lianhuasheng smiled and shook his head, "The general is wearing the Qinglong Saber on his waist!"

Li Ye was stunned, "Master knows it?"

Master Padmasambhava nodded, "This knife is Wang Zhongsi's personal possession. In the early years of Tianbao, Wang Zhongsi defeated the Turkic Yehu tribe and killed Usumish Khan in Bahana. In this seat, Wang Zhongsi begged me to help him solve his confusion.

I admired this knife carefully at that time, so I could recognize it at a glance. How could the person who can wear Wang Zhongsi Qinglong Sword be a soldier of the Tang Army? "

"What else did Master see?"

"During the Kaiyuan period, I studied astronomy and calendar in Mount Wutai of the Tang Dynasty. Later, I went to Chang'an and paid homage to the statue of Master Xuanzang at the Da Ci'en Temple. I taught the Dharma in the Da Ci'en Temple and saw Feilong. He asked me about the The secret of soul shifting."

Li Ye's heart thumped, Master Padmasambhava must have seen something, otherwise he would not have discussed this issue with himself.

"What did the dragon ask?"

"He asked a lot, and he was most confused. If Tang was changed by him, where would he come from in future generations?"

This is actually what confused Li Ye the most. If he changed the course of history, then future generations would no longer have him, so how could he come to the Tang Dynasty through soul transmigration?This in itself is a paradox.

"How does the master explain it?"

Master Padmasambhava smiled slightly, "Thousands of worlds, thousands of Buddhas, illusions come and go, and they end up in one mind, just like thousands of rivers, eventually returning to the sea, but that sea is no longer the sea of ​​the past, and you in the future are no longer the sea of ​​the past. Damn, it's a pity that he didn't realize it and left disappointed."

Like a flash of lightning flashed through Li Ye's mind, he suddenly understood that no matter how he changed history, his future self would still appear, but with another identity. This is like a multidimensional world, where he plays different roles in different worlds. Role.

Master Padmasambhava pointed to the big tree in the yard and said with a smile: "A main trunk has thousands of branches. Which one is the trunk and which one is the branch? But all this is just the feeling of us outsiders. For a tree, no matter what kind of branch, no matter what kind of stem, they are all branches of the root, but the shape is different."

Li Ye suddenly felt a sense of great enlightenment, and hurriedly knelt down to salute, "Thank you master for the great drink!"

Master Padmasambhava laughed, "The general appeared in the country of protecting honey, and I knew that the key to unlock Tochara's predicament lies with the general."

At this time, the little novice came in to serve tea. Master Li Ye was invited to sit down, and said with a smile, "This is tea from Chang'an. You can only drink it at Bahan. General, please drink tea."

Li Ye took a sip of hot tea and felt warm all over.

Master Lianhuasheng said slowly again: "A group of businessmen came a few days ago and said that General Li of the Tang Dynasty led his men to defeat the Persian cavalry in the Wuhu Canyon. The reason for pulling Hana, I want to chat with the general about the situation in the river area at Pulling Hana."

"Master is concerned about the current situation?"

"How could I not care!"

Master Padmasambhava sighed, "The eastward expansion of the Great Food Army means the eastward expansion of the Great Food Cult. You should understand what it means for Buddhism?"

Li Ye suddenly had a realization in his heart that in history, Master Padmasambhava went to Tubo to preach and found Tantric Buddhism, which may have something to do with the eastward expansion of Dashijiao after the Talas War.

Li Ye took out the emperor's gold medal and put it on the table, and said with a slight smile: "I was ordered by the emperor of Tang Dynasty to investigate the situation in Dashi and Hezhong. I have already deeply experienced the penetration of Dashi into Tocharo. Now I want to know, Why does the master insist that I come to the country of Pullhan to discuss this issue? Is it related to the country of Shi?"

Master Padmasambhava looked at the gold medal on the table, and there was a hint of joy in his calm eyes. He nodded and said: "The eastward expansion of the Dashi Dynasty was presided over by the Governor's Mansion of Khorasan. The Governor's name is Abu Muslim. It is the starting point for the Tocharo area, and Shiguo is the starting point for the Chuhe area.

The Tocharian Legion of the Bushi Kingdom assassinated the King of the Humi Kingdom, and wanted to provoke civil strife in the Humi Kingdom, but I quelled it. I went to the Jumi Kingdom and thwarted another assassination against the Jumi King, but these were all Small fights, Abu Muslim's real strength lies in Shiguo.

The State of Shi is already preparing for war. According to the information I have received, the State of Shi will invade Bahanna in the spring of next year, and Bahanna has already asked the Tang army for help.

I believe that next spring, the Tang army will rescue Bahana and attack the Shi country. Once the Shi country also asks for help from Dashi, the war between the Dashi army and the Tang army will inevitably break out. "

"The master once predicted that the Tang army would be defeated in this battle. Why?"

Master Lianhuasheng was silent for a moment, "The Dashi army knows itself and the enemy, the Tang army knows itself but does not know the enemy, the Dashi is prepared but the Tang army is not prepared, how can the Tang army win?"

Li Ye was silent for a while, but Master Lianhuasheng really saw it clearly. In the battle of Talas, Tang Jun lost because he didn't know himself or the enemy. They didn't understand that the black-clothed food had just founded the country, and they would not win this battle at all costs. War, put the whole country into this war.

Anxi Tang Jun did not realize the importance of this war, and more importantly, Tang Jun did not know himself, and finally lost to the betrayal of the Ge Luolu people.

In the final analysis, the betrayal of the Ge Luolu people was due to Gao Xianzhi's failure to see the situation clearly.

"I heard on the road that Shi Guo and Dashi are very close. What's the reason?" Li Ye asked again.

"The king of Shiguo once studied in the Tang Dynasty. He brought back a lot of advanced technology from the Tang Dynasty, such as papermaking, textiles, and many military technologies. I heard that Shiguo can make large-scale siege vehicles. Abbas sent envoys to see the king of Shiguo. The two sides reached a lot of cooperation. The king of Shiguo sent craftsmen to Khorasan to help Abbas make large-scale siege weapons. Abbas also gave Shiguo a lot of armor, making Shiguo the most powerful of the nine kingdoms of Sogdia. A powerful country, I deduce that Abbas will help the Shi Kingdom unify the nine Sogdian countries, and then use the power of the Sogdians to annex Tocharia."

"What about the Great Food Cult?"

Li Ye asked again: "Has Shi Guo accepted it?"

Master Padmasambhava nodded, "In the city of King Stone the year before last, there was a Dashijiao temple, and it was also the first Dashijiao temple in the Nine Kingdoms of Sogdia. It is worrying!"

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said, "What will Master do next?"

"I plan to lobby the Tocharian countries to form a coalition army and drive out the Tocharian army in Bushi City. If possible, the Tocharian coalition army will also help the Tang army at critical moments."

Li Ye returned to the Shang Hotel, he was still thinking about the meeting with Lian Huasheng today in his mind, his thoughts were very chaotic, and various thoughts appeared in his mind like fragments.

Although Lianhuasheng's main purpose is to pass on the current situation in the Hezhong area to Gao Xianzhi through himself, so that he can make full preparations.

At the same time, he also hinted to himself that the Tocharian coalition forces will cooperate with the Tang army to fight against the eastward expansion of the Great Food.

Master Padmasambhava also mentioned Feilong. Feilong had actually seen him and revealed the secret of time travel to him. This was beyond Li Ye's expectation. He really has something extraordinary.

In addition, the various technologies that Shi Guo came up with must have been leaked from Feilong's treasure book. Li Ye recalled that Master Mingsong told himself on his deathbed that the most important thing about some of the contents in the treasure book was gunpowder.

Shi Kun failed to prepare gunpowder, so he wanted to come to Chang'an to get samples and raw materials. Li Ye was upset when he thought of gunpowder. The Tang Dynasty hadn't invented gunpowder yet. If the big cannibal invented it first, it would be Feilong sin!

At this time, Xu Jian reported at the door: "My lord, King Bahana has sent someone!"

Li Ye was startled, and then reacted, Guru Rinpoche must have told the king that he was pulling Khan.

When he walked out of the room, a man who looked like a guard stepped forward and saluted: "Our king invites General Li to meet you at the palace!"

Li Ye nodded, "Please wait a moment!"

The guard said again: "The king has arranged for an expensive hotel, please move the general and his subordinates to live in the expensive hotel!"
