047 The legend of Asoka
Gao shook his head, looked at the sky full of gray fog, and sighed:
"I'm afraid you Simeng and West Asians have never heard of such a story."
"According to the legend of Taka, a long time ago, Taka was a godless country. At that time, the king of Taka, King Ashoka, fought in all directions and conquered the vast territory of Taka."
"At that time, King Asoka was unparalleled and invincible. However, after winning another war, King Ashoka suddenly realized that the conflicts in the world would never end, and the creatures on the earth would suffer forever, especially after he had committed such a crime.
After committing so many crimes of killing, he immediately put down his butcher knife and stopped raising his troops for war. Even in the wars that he had to fight to protect his people, King Asoka tried his best to avoid causing any unnecessary casualties."
Han Dongwen listened carefully on the surface, but secretly sighed in his heart.
Once your own territory is conquered, do you start showing mercy?
Why doesn't true mercy return the place where we came from the war?
"With the dharma advocated by King Ashoka, Taka gradually learned the meaning of kindness and kindness during that chaotic period. After Ashoka's death, Taka's territory never expanded a bit."
"The people of Taka really respect this great king." Han Dongwengu said at the right time.
Gao smiled: "Respect? It is indeed very respectful. That's because Ashoka can see the actions of his successors."
Can you see it?
He continued: "According to records, on the day Asoka passed away, there was a glaze-colored light on the horizon that condensed into clouds and sacred birds. The sacred birds surrounded Asoka's body. This great king has since escaped from the prison of his mortal body.
He became a god under the witness of divine birds and stars."
Gao gently raised his right hand and put two fingers in front of his forehead - this was Taka's godly etiquette, but it looked a bit like turning his wrist over like a demon piercing the light to kill a cannon.
"Since then, there have been gods in the sky, and Taka has been bathed in the glory of God Ayush and stands still today."
After listening to this, Han Dongwen suddenly felt that in addition to pride, there was also a hint of sarcasm in Gao's tone that could not be noticed.
This is very strange, since he is proud of this legendary god of Taka, why is he sarcastic?
"A very wonderful legend."
Tilda on the side spoke: "However, this still does not explain what you want us to help do, and what exactly is the 'drop' you are talking about."
After all, she was confident because she was very strong. Tilda asked a question that Han Dongwen hadn't asked yet.
Gao clasped his palms together and lowered his head slightly: "In order for the subsequent rulers of Taka to implement this compassionate mind, King Ashoka gave gifts of sacred objects to the countries surrounding Taka before he ascended to the gods and left the world.
, these gods have great power, ensuring that even if the subsequent rulers of Thakar deviate from Ashoka's compassionate heart, these countries and people can still protect themselves through them."
He paused for a moment and his tone became somewhat solemn: "These things are called falling objects."
After Gao finished speaking, Han Dongwen and Tilda glanced at each other subconsciously and fell into silence.
Is there such a legend?
Is it true?
"I never really understood the legend of Taka."
Tilda said coldly: "I don't know much about Taka's folk customs. The 'drop' you mentioned is something I have never heard of in the Principality of West Asia, so I can't help you find it."
Han Dongwen nodded slowly while listening.
Indeed, from a legal perspective, Taka's territory has not expanded, but through the development of puppet vassal states, its aggression has no intention of stopping, it has only become more advanced.
In the past, cattle were killed for meat, but now they are raised to suck blood. Simeng's annual tribute to Taka consumes countless people. To put it this way, Taka's current "His Majesty the God Emperor" has already violated their
The will of God Ayu.
If there really was such a powerful weapon against Taka, wouldn't it have been used against Taka long ago?
"Haha, it's normal that you two haven't heard of it."
Gao spread his hands, leaned back on the chair where the gray mist had condensed, and said lazily: "This is just a legend, and there are many people who don't believe it. In order to prevent neighboring countries from using this thing to invade Taka, these descendants
How things are used, and even their existence itself, are kept secret to a very high degree.”
He raised his finger and tapped his temple lightly: "It can be said that even in Taka, very few people know about it. I can tell you now what happened to the country under the rule of the two of you."
"……you say."
Tilda's tone was doubtful. She roughly understood the legend of the god Ayu, but no matter whether the legend could be taken seriously or not, even if it was true, why Gao wanted to take the descendants away from the country was still full of doubts.
Gao thought about it for a while and slightly emphasized his tone:
"The gift from the Principality of West Asia is now in the hands of the Holy Church. It is one of the holy objects enshrined in the Cathedral of Talis Diocese, the Holy Grail of God."
Han Dongwen was stunned and looked at Tilda almost subconsciously. She was obviously suffocated slightly. It was obvious that this answer was beyond her expectation.
"The Lord of God - The Holy Grail of the Lord of God is the holy relic of the Lord of God. How can it be related to your legend?"
Perhaps she was too surprised, so her rhetorical question was a little stuttered.
Gao shrugged his shoulders: "The Lord God is just your small religion in West Asia. Please think about it, Grand Duke. Apart from being a sacred symbol of worship, do these holy relics have any practical effect?"
Tilda was silent for a while and shook her head slightly: "...No, the holy relic itself has no power, it is just for people to admire."
There wouldn't be much difference if the Holy Grail was replaced by an ordinary glass. Given Tilda's irreverent idea of resisting the Lord of God, this thing was probably just a bluff.
"That's right."
Gao Mingming laughed and turned to look in the direction of Han Dongwen: "And I have also found Simeng's drop."
"What is it?" Han Dongwen became nervous.
Gao paused for a moment and said, "Jiangwu is called Xianli in Simeng. Its name is Yunpo Sword. You must have heard of it."
?
!
The three words "Yunbo Sword" flashed through Han Dongwen's mind like lightning.
Is the Yunbo Sword a gift from the god Ayu of Taka?
It's not a gift from the local gods of Simeng, but a secret weapon placed by God Ayu to fight against Taka?
"...I know that every thirty years, Xiao Jia, during the New Year's Eve Ceremony held that year, must give a gift to the immortal."
He glanced at Tilda next to him and said deliberately: "Maybe like the Holy Grail of West Asia, this immortal gift itself has no effect."
As the soul of Unit 1, the Yunbo Sword can support Han Dongwen to control human puppets at super long distances across the country, so it must be useful.
And the Xuanji Pan, which is also an immortal gift, is the only window between Han Dongwen and the real world. The role of the two is huge.
The only one that is really useless is probably the last of the three immortal gifts, the Chongyang Crown. But Gao just mentioned the Yunbo Sword, and it seems that the remaining two have nothing to do with the Ayu god of Taka.
"if--"
Tilda suddenly asked: "If it is true as you said, we found these two, um, objects, why did we take them away from the country?"
Her tone was a bit sharp: "According to what you said, God Ayu left the gifts to the countries in order to curb Taka's own expansion. Then I'm afraid I should interpret your request as Taka's preparation for another war. As a
The Grand Duke of West Asia, I cannot agree to such a request."
Good question, Your Majesty.
Han Dongwen almost applauded her. He just felt that he was so relaxed. Tilda would almost always say something unpleasant to her that she didn't have to do this tattoo. It was really comfortable.
Gao looked at them and gently raised his hand: "I will explain this to you in the near future. As I said before, I do not require you to hand the gift into my hands. You
They can be exchanged with each other, as long as they are taken away from the country, please hurry up, time is running out."
After saying that, Gao raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
After a while, the gray mist reverberated and dissipated. Gravity suddenly pulled Han Dongwen back to the material world. He opened his eyes and saw the beams of the dormitory again, as well as the wooden carved faceless Buddha statue in his hand.
