Chapter 54: Longevity and Longevity (1)(1/2)
"We don't have to be too sad, you have a life of death. As scouts, we have already hung our heads on our belts. He... He was not captured by the Turks and went to the royal court, which is already very good."
Zhao Hu'er whispered.
Su Dawei answered.
His hands were quietly clenched.
If you try too hard, your knuckles will turn white.
The sergeant was not taken back to the royal court by the Turks, so a small part of the mission was completed.
Except for Asanah Shabi, the rest of the Turkic Wolf Guards should have died almost, and a small part of the mission was completed.
but......
I still feel angry.
If Su Dawei had not captured Asanashabi, the leader of the wolf guard, and not talked about the letter that the stolen by **du, he would not have accepted the three dead Tang army scouts.
Blood debt must be repaid with blood.
The cave fell silent for a moment.
The atmosphere is a bit dull.
Although, the Tang army only died and injured several people.
And the Turkic Wolf Guard has already died this time.
But in this era, the Tang army was invincible and arrogant, and the result was still unacceptable.
I always feel that if I don’t wipe out this group of Turkic Wolf Guards, I will fail to achieve my goal.
Only one Ashinashabi is missing.
Although, according to Asina Daozhen, this person is the son of Asina Helu, the current Western Turkic Shabolu Khan.
It is also possible to inherit the position of Khan in the future.
But really, I really want to leave this guy in the Kingsoft Mountains.
If this person is allowed to escape back to the grassland, he will definitely become a major concern of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
"Brother."
Nie Su was really smart. Seeing Su Dawei's gloomy face, he guessed something.
"Are you worried about the leader of the Wolf Guard? Don't worry, he shouldn't escape."
"Hmm? Why?"
Su Dawei looked up at Nie Su, his eyes full of confusion.
"I asked Monkey Head to find his hiding place. He was injured by the broken wood thrown by Monkey Head. He shouldn't have escaped. But he was anxious to dig out his brother from the snow at that time, so he didn't continue chasing him."
After a pause, Nie Su said, "I asked the monkey head to search for it."
She seemed extremely confident.
With the power of the phantom spirit, there should be great hope in finding Asinashabi in its home court.
Su Dawei nodded, took a deep breath, and wanted to force himself not to think more.
But in my mind, I couldn't help but think about the fragments of these battles again and again.
Asanashabi is such a cunning wolf.
This man is not only scheming, but also has a very indifferent view of the death of the people around him.
I really don’t know why there are such Turkic people who are willing to die for him.
"Ship Su."
Ye Fashan, who had not spoken, suddenly said to Su Dawei: "Can you talk a few times?"
Su Dawei looked up at him.
In fact, he had always been a little confused about the Taoist priest Ye Fashan.
Of course, this does not affect cooperation with him. He uses his alchemy skills to help him refine saltpeter and build a community of interests.
Nowadays, saltpeter is just for making ice.
But what about the future?
If saltpeter is paired with sulfur and charcoal, there is no need to say more.
The future is promising.
So Su Dawei now needs to rely on the power of Taoist priests who are familiar with alchemy.
Compared with Yuan Shoucheng, who was born in the Northern Dao system, Taoist priests of the Southern Sect are better at refining alchemy and making talismans.
Taoist priests in the north generally pay more attention to their own cultivation and pay attention to the merit of inner alchemy.
Various thoughts twitched in Su Dawei's mind, and he nodded slightly.
With Nie Su's support, he moved to Ye Fashan's side and sat cross-legged in front of the campfire.
"What do Master Ye want to say to me?"
Su Dawei stared at Ye Fashan in front of him.
In fact, he had some doubts about Ye Fashan.
I first met him when I was protecting the Ming Palace.
At that time, the demon monk Daochen wanted to destroy the Tang Dynasty. When the situation was urgent, Boss Lin showed up with Ye Fashan to help Su Dawei with him.
Su Dawei was a little confused.
As Boss Lin, as the head of the Chang'an Prison, it is not surprising that he knows all kinds of people in all walks of life, but it seems that he does not have that much energy to know a "incredible man" with profound cultivation.
What's more, how much face would it be if you could ask Ye Fashan to take action?
Afterwards, Su Dawei even made indirect attacks on Boss Lin, and the answer he got was that Ye Fashan was once a guest of honor for King Jing Li Yuanjing, so he met him.
But Su Dawei thought about it carefully and still felt a little strange.
Just because they were all Li Yuanjing's people, Boss Lin has the face to invite others?
Of course, this doubt is still under my heart for the time being, so I will observe it first.
Even Su Dawei didn't mind letting Ye Fashan participate in the ice making business.
Multiple friends are better than multiple enemies.
"Su Shuai, this time I accompanied Nie Su to such a far place. First of all, it was because the little lady begged, and I was moved to hide my heart."
Su Dawei looked at him, and the corner of his mouth seemed to be smiling.
But there was a voice in my heart shouting: It's not trustworthy. Taoists all pay attention to the world's cultivation and stay away from the complexity of the world. How could they have such good patience? Just for Nie Su to escort him from thousands of miles away. Haha, continue to make up, I see what other flowers you can make up.
Ye Fashan continued: "The second is for my own selfishness."
"oh?"
Su Dawei raised his eyebrows slightly: "I hope to hear it carefully."
"Did Su Shuai know that Taoism is the national religion of the Tang Dynasty?" Ye Fashan smiled and felt harmonious, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
Su Dawei was even more confused: "I know, is there any problem with this?"
Why did this old man with a bull’s nose suddenly mention this? What does he mean?
Su Dawei's mind changed rapidly and suddenly noticed a detail.
Ye Fashan has always called "Su Shuai", rather than the official scout camp of the Tang Dynasty's Western Army. This title seems to mean something?
Before he could think about it, he heard Ye Fashan continue to say, "Taoism has been established as the national religion of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been more than 30 years since Master Xuanzang came to the west and carried back to the Buddhist scriptures from India with a white horse, many things have become a little different."
Although Ye Fashan didn't say it clearly, Su Dawei knew what he was referring to.
Taoism is the national religion of the Tang Dynasty, and this status was established since the time of Li Yuan.
The founding kings usually had to find a celebrity to recognize relatives from the ancients, strengthen their bloodlines, strengthen the legitimacy of obtaining the country, and feel like being ordered by heaven.
Li Tang found Laozi from the Spring and Autumn Period.
Confucius was a Confucian sage, but Confucius went to see Lao Tzu, but he had to hold the etiquette of his disciples. When he came back, he had to express his feelings to his disciples: "I know that birds can fly; fish can swim; beasts can walk. Those who walk can use it, those who travel can be used as lunar, and those who fly can be swim.
As for the dragon, I cannot know that it rides the wind and clouds and goes to the sky. I see my son today, and he is like a dragon!"
Translated into plain language, that means I am so awesome!
It is a very sage to recognize such a saint as his ancestors.
From Li Yuan to Li Shimin, until Li Zhi at this time, Taoism's status as a state religion was shaken.
Even many princes, including Li Shimin, believe in Taoism and can refine golden elixirs and survive after taking it.
Several emperors of the Tang Dynasty royal family had records of allowing Taoists to alchemy golden elixirs in the later period and taking golden elixirs for immortality.
Emperor Taizong Li Shimin felt that his health was not as good as before, so he asked the Taoist priests to refine alchemy.
To be continued...
