Chapter 1643: Leaving the Spring Chariot and Heading to Mirror Lake

Jiang Wang had traveled through the grassland twice, but he did not enter the Supreme King's Court both times.

When people are in a hurry, they will always miss the scenery.

Now, looking around, the endless tents are like a sea of ​​clouds, and the brilliant treasure light is like golden clouds.

This golden city is like a dream, so brilliant and splendid. It represents wealth and power, holds fame and majesty, and is the place where all glory gathers.

Outside this great city, Jiang Wang remembered the old things and said to Yuwen Duo casually: "The last time I came here, I met a relative of your family! At that time, he told me that Rucheng was in Liyuan City, so I did not enter the king's court."

"My relative?" Yuwen Duo asked: "Didn't you offend the marquis? If there is anything wrong, tell me, I will immediately bring it to justice."

This made him look very confident in the Yuwen family.

The Yuwen family is a famous family in Muguo, one of the most distinguished families on the grassland.

It is naturally a good thing for Zhao Rucheng to have such an important friend.

Jiang Wang smiled: "No, that person is very polite. He just played a little joke on me."

"There are not many people in my family who are polite." Yuwen Duo laughed and asked: "What does that person look like?"

Jiang Wang thought for a while and described: "He looks very majestic, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and he is handsome. He is as tall as you, but thinner than you. Judging from his dress, he should be a cavalryman in the royal tent. At that time, I planned to go to the royal court to see Rucheng, and he was patrolling outside to check my identity."

During the period of the battle line from Yuancheng, the cavalrymen in the royal tent who patrolled outside the royal court had to meet the appearance requirements mentioned by Jiang Wang and be "very polite"...

Yuwen Duo thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of anyone who matched him.

"The Yuwen family is so big that I really don't know who it is for a while. It's an extraordinary experience to be able to check Wu'an Hou." Yuwen Duo laughed: "Maybe I can see him again this time."

Yuwen Duo himself is in Cangtu Divine Cavalry, and there are many people in the Yuwen family in the Royal Cavalry, at least so many that Yuwen Duo cannot directly exclude or lock on a certain person.

The Cangtu Divine Cavalry belongs to the Temple, and the Royal Cavalry guards the Royal Court.

As a famous True Blood family, the Yuwen family is so unclear. The intersection of the divine power and the royal power of the Mu Kingdom can be seen from this.

Marquis Jiang adheres to the principle of listening and watching more, and chats and laughs with Yuwen Duo.

The place where the Mu Kingdom receives foreign envoys is called "Minhe Temple", also known as "Huixian Hall".

Using the temple as a place for diplomacy can probably explain the influence of Cangtu God on this grassland empire.

Needless to say, the meaning of Huixian Hall is a later explanation.

The word "Minhe" is also very special. In the grassland language, it means "the time when dusk falls", which means welcoming distinguished guests.

At the same time, Jiang Wang knew even more. In the history of the Mu Kingdom, there was a legendary figure named "Minhar", who was the only divine messenger in history who successfully preached in the Central Region.

According to "Mu Lue", when Minhar's missionary work was at its peak, he traveled in the Central Region, and wherever he went, "gold bricks were paved on the ground, and brocade was used to decorate the cows to welcome the divine messenger."

There are also records saying: "There are more than 30,000 believers, who worship the gods without stopping incense. Thousands of devout believers follow him on his journey."

There are hundreds of millions of believers on the grassland. Of course, more than 30,000 believers are nothing in terms of quantity, but when it appears in the basic base of the three veins of Taoism, it has great significance.

He can be regarded as the most successful example of the external missionary work of the Cangtu Temple.

The Minhe Temple was first built to welcome him home.

But he did not return to the grassland.

"When the dusk falls, people have not returned home."

Later, the Mu Kingdom used the Minhe Temple as a place to welcome foreign envoys, and it has been so until now. To be honest, there are some religious meanings in it.

The one who presided over the Minhe Temple was Tu Hu, the golden crown priest of the temple. His extraordinaryness can be seen from his surname.

The Tu family is a famous family that is not inferior to the Yuwen family, and the golden crown priest is a high-ranking member of the temple, only below the crown of the god.

He has the support of the True Blood Tribe and a noble status in the temple. He has a good influence on the divine power, the royal power, and the tribe, and is undoubtedly a big man on the grassland.

The important status of the Minhe Temple is also reflected by this person.

After Yuwen Duo led the convoy to the Minhe Temple, he also came out to greet him in person, which shows the weight of the Wu'an Marquis today. Of course, the exchanges between the two sides were limited to national etiquette, and there was no closer contact.

The royal power and the divine power cooperate in struggle, and struggle in cooperation, which is a long-lasting theme on this grassland.

Tu Hu, who has a high nose and deep eyes and a handsome appearance, has a naturally complex identity and position. He also has a cautious and restrained temperament. He is the kind of person who seems to be able to make no mistakes. Every word and action is within the standard.

Jiang Wang sent out the gifts prepared by the officials of the Ministry of Rites before the trip. Just as he settled down under the guidance of the boy of Minhe Temple, Yuwen Duo came over with great interest to invite him, saying that he would take the Marquis of Wu'an of Daqi to see the grassland scenery.

Even for Rucheng's sake, it was not easy to offend him, so Jiang Wang paused his exploration of the immortal.

By the way, he took Qiao Lin, who was so envious that his eyes turned green, and the three of them went on their own.

After leaving the solemn and solemn Minhe Temple, Yuwen Duo was refreshed.

"Although we don't see Qinlou and Chuguan in our Muguo, and we are not as good as the waterside pavilions of Qiguo and the cloud terraces of Jingguo, we also have a different kind of wonderful image!" With his braids trembling, he looked proud: "Does the Marquis know about the Divine Grace Car?"

Before Jiang Wang could answer, he was already intoxicated: "Young men and women, bless themselves with divine grace, have compassion in their hearts, respect their original desires, give with their bodies, and benefit the world with virtue... What a beautiful thing to say, indescribably wonderful!"

Where does this word come from?

Jiang Wang had a strange expression. Yuwen Duo said he would take him to see the grassland scenery. He thought it was a place like the Seven Scenic Spots of Linzi, but he didn't expect to take him to see this...

Shen'en Che is so famous, and someone like him who is a diligent reader of history books would know it.

It has a great name, but it is actually an ox cart. Well, the kind with a carriage.

It was first born for the reproduction of the tribe.

Historically, the grassland environment was quite harsh, and it was never as brilliant and beautiful as it is today.

Because it is adjacent to the endless desert, it is invaded by evil energy and death energy, and disasters continue within the territory. The white-haired wind that Jiang Wang once encountered on the grassland was nothing compared to the disasters in the gloomy period.

At that time, migration was a dangerous thing, and there was little communication between tribes. A natural disaster is the lock-up. Many tribes died after being locked up.

At that time, the co-owner of the grassland thought of a way to load men and women of suitable age in ox carts, send them to the major tribes for protection, and send them on a parade to find suitable partners... and then left after a night of spring breeze.

At that time, this car was also called "Spring Car", which means endless life, and gradually became a tradition.

Later, the Cangtu Religion emerged, and the missionary envoys borrowed this tradition and carried it forward to win over believers.

Because the young men and women on the spring carriage are all believers of God, bathing in the divine light can amplify pleasure, which is much higher than that of a brothel. No need to spend money, just faith. Wherever you pass, there are often long queues...

Later, its name became "God's Grace Car", which means God Cangtu's favor to the believers.

It is quite similar to the story of Buddhist Bodhisattva giving alms in the flesh.

Yuwen Duo said mysteriously again: "What we are going to is not the ordinary Divine Grace Car, but the Divine Grace Temple parked in the Supreme Court. It is not open to the public, and there are genuine divine women inside! It was me, and it took a lot of effort to get a spot.”

"I've heard it too, I've heard it too!" Qiao Lin was very excited: "It is said that those Shenhua women are all crystal clear, they can beat the frost and the snow, and they are infinitely charming!"

Looking back and seeing Jiang Wang's expression, he immediately said seriously: "Master Hou must criticize me!"

Jiang Wang waved his hand and said to Yuwen Duo: "I appreciate Brother Yuwen's kindness, but let's forget it. I'm not interested in this."

He does not need to be given alms, let alone this form of "being given", and he especially does not want to be preached in this way.

The grassland is really a dangerous place...

Yuwen Duo was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting to be rejected.

Anyone who knows something about the grassland should know how sincere the quota of Shen'en Temple is.

How could anyone who knows about Shen'en Temple not want to see it?

"Maybe I didn't make it clear." He paused, looked at Jiang Wang's face, and whispered: "There are also Shenhua men in Shen'en Temple..."

Qiao Lin immediately looked at his eyes, nose and heart, and his ears stood up.

Jiang Wang had to say more seriously: "Actually, I hope Brother Yuwen can take me to see the scenery of the grassland...the real scenery. For example, the Mirror of the Sky. Isn't it convenient now?"

Yu Wenduo smiled generously: "Master Hou wants to enjoy the scenery, it is naturally convenient!"

In fact, Tianzhi Mirror is in the fishing moratorium at this time, and herdsmen are not allowed to approach. But with Yuwen Duo's status, it is not a problem to make special arrangements.

Immediately, they turned out of the city and the three of them rode together towards the famous Shenjing Lake.

As the largest lake on the grassland, it is like a mirror embedded in the boundless grassland. It is the center of the eastern grassland and the mother lake of the grassland people, nurturing too many lives.

It is like a piece of frozen amber, like a section of the sky. So crystal clear, so quiet.

No words can describe its beauty.

The only thing that can be described is the feeling of "still water lingering in my heart" while standing in front of the dark blue lake.

There is a peaceful atmosphere here.

Cattle, sheep, horses, moles, and even ligers, wolves, and horses all drink water here leisurely, and are in peace with each other.

In the vast lake, I occasionally saw a few red fish, a few green turtles, and a group of water birds.

The sounds of cows, horses, the ripples of water, and the flapping of wings are the most beautiful music.

Jiang Wang stood quietly by the lake, watching and listening for a long time.

Erdemi, right under the mirror of heaven.

"My wish is fulfilled." Jiang Wang smiled.

"I used to come here a lot when I was a kid, sitting alone by the lake in a deserted place." Yu Wenduo, standing next to Jiang Wang, said, "Looking at it makes my heart feel very peaceful. No matter how uncomfortable things are, That’s how it passed.”

In front of the Mirror of Heaven, his voice unconsciously became very soft, completely different from his usual rough and arrogant side.

Speaking of which, Jiang Wang knew that Zhao Rucheng met Yuwen Duo when he was slaying demons in the wilderness. And for such a true-blooded descendant of a famous family in the Mu Kingdom to appear in a place like the border wilderness, there are many stories to tell.

Of course, who doesn’t have a story?

Look at Qiao Lin next to him, how sad and depressed he is. He must have remembered what was on his mind, right?

"When do envoys from other countries arrive?" Jiang Wang asked casually.

As the first envoy of the hegemony country to arrive at the grassland, he actually wanted to ask whether the Mu Kingdom had invited the Jing Kingdom to watch the ceremony this time. If the one coming from the Jing Kingdom was Chunyu Gui, then forget it. If it was someone else... Before the trip, the Emperor of Qi had said that they must compete when it was time to compete.

But it seemed like rubbing salt into the wound, so it was not convenient to ask.

Yuwen Duo himself had no scruples and said excitedly: "Just these few days, the letters from the country have been received first."

"Who are they?" Jiang Wang asked with great interest.

"The envoy from the Jing Kingdom is Chen Suan, the one from the Chu Kingdom is Dou Zhao, the one from the Jing Kingdom is Murong Longqi, and the one from the Qin Kingdom is Huang Budong..." Yuwen Duo counted on his fingers one by one: "By the way, the Winter Emperor of the Snow Kingdom will also come in person!"

Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows.

The people coming from the Jing Kingdom and the Qin Kingdom were all contestants of the unlimited field under the age of 30 in the Yellow River Meeting in 3919, so let's not talk about that. Dou Zhao had already made an agreement, so we can put it aside for now... Chen Suan is very confident!

Speaking of the fight in Xingyueyuan, he relied on the star power given by Master Guanyan to sweep the opponent in one fell swoop. It was indeed a bit unfair, and it was understandable that Chen Suan was not convinced. Jiang Wang can fully admit that if he only relied on his own strength, he was not Chen Suan's opponent at that time.

But what is the current day?

The battle of Xingyueyuan was two years ago.

"Lord Winter Emperor will come in person?" Qiao Lin said in surprise: "Is it related to the war of westward expansion of Jing State?"

He was not an ignorant person, and he would not easily speak in the conversation between Wu'an Hou and the people of Mu State.

But the newly promoted True Lord of Snow Country, a strong man called Winter Emperor, came to Mu State to watch the ceremony in person, which was a strong signal.

As a qualified envoy, Wu'an Hou would of course think about it.

But after all, it was on the territory of the people of Mu State. With the identity of Wu'an Hou, some words were not convenient to say, and some questions were not suitable to ask.

Then at this time, Qiao Lin's value is reflected.

Qiao Lin is brave enough to take on questions that Wu'an Hou is not convenient to ask, and speaks up bravely. In this way, Mu Guoren answers the best, and if he doesn't answer, Wu'an Hou won't be embarrassed.

"I don't know about that." Yuwen Duo laughed: "Everyone is just here to watch the ceremony, and there is no need to think so much."

Yuwen Duo's words seemed to be intentional while explaining. It can even be said that it is a direct hint - other countries think a lot, don't you Qi want to fight for something?

But Jiang Wang didn't react at all.

He was just very curious... Qiao Lin had a sad and regretful face just now, but now his expression has become so proud.

Well, Chen Suan's divine power of heaven is quite good, and it will be even more unpredictable after it blooms. If they do meet, they should simplify things and not let the battle become complicated...

"Is Wu'an Hou also curious about the Winter Emperor?" Looking at Jiang Wang who seemed to be thinking about something, Yuwen Duo said considerately: "If there is a banquet at that time, I will arrange a suitable seat for you."

Jiang Wang waved his hand: "Our strengths are far from the same level, so it is meaningless to get close."

He walked along the lakeshore, chatting as he walked: "Speaking of the Snow Country, I have a very smart friend who went to the Snow Country for a trip. I haven't contacted him for a long time, and I don't know how he is now..."

Splash.

Ripples a few circles, and a lingering sound.

A water bird dived into the water.
