Chen Min answered quickly. He looked to the east and sighed, ”Ten years …” This year, Yu'er and Yu'er were seven years old. Unknowingly, I have already left Luoyang for ten years. My Lord, to be honest, the entire matter has to start from a foreign world in the Imperial City. ”

With a smile on his face, Ban Chao had already guessed that Chen Mubai really had something to do with it, he thought to himself.

Chen Mubai said, ”That was seven years in Yongping. One night, when the emperor was sleeping soundly in the palace, he suddenly saw a golden-armored god come flying from the sky, shining brilliantly, illuminating his bedroom as bright as the day. The godly man went straight to the emperor, raised his sword, and was about to chop off the emperor's head when the golden chicken announced, and the emperor sat up in his dream, realizing that it was all just a dream, but the dream was so real that the emperor's neck still throbbed after waking up.

The next day, when the emperor came to court, he felt weak and listless. When the officials saw him like this, they asked him why. So the Emperor told him the truth and asked him what he wanted. At that time, Lord Fu was appointed to the post of Grand Historian. He replied: This dream is a good omen. There is a god in the west whose name, Buddha, should be rushed to ask for it.

”So on that day, the Emperor sent his centurion, Cai Wei, and the rest of the eighteen Steel Cavalry to go to the Western Regions to pray for the Dao of Buddhism.”

Ban Chao nodded, ”As I expected. You were also with the Great Yue's team? ”

Chen Mu smiled and said, ”Your excellency knows everything, so I can't hide anything from you.” Our group found a Shi Clan temple in the Great Yue State called the Celestial Way. It was said that the leader of the Celestial Way was already five hundred years old, and their disciple's name was also strange. His name was Mokoga, and he was called Bodhisattva. When we first met him, we couldn't believe he was five hundred years old … ”

”Then why?”

Chen said, ”According to legend, Peng Zu's eight hundred years of life have not yet returned to his youth, and Mokoga has clear eyes and a jade-like face. He looks no older than twenty-eight. We did not believe him to be five hundred years old, but this man was able to read the world, and spoke and acted like a saint. We all believed that this man must have some skill of immortality, so we asked him for it, but he said to us, ”Immortality is nothing more than doing good, meditating in meditation, and in the future becoming a saint in the west.” Our brothers don't believe it.

Later on, the Da Yue family sent two Samana disciples, one was called Mo Tun, the other was called Zhu Fran, and they used a white horse to carry some scriptures back to the imperial court … ”

Ban Chao nodded his head and said, ”I am aware of this, the two Samana disciples have already followed Cai Wei back to Luoyang, and the Emperor has also built a Zen monastery for Zhao and Zhu. Because it is a scripture brought back by a white horse, it is called the White Horse Temple. After that, the knot in the emperor's heart was finally resolved, and the golden-armored god never dreamed of anything again. ”

Chen Mu smiled. ”You know what I just said, but there's something else you don't.” Those returning were still eighteen Steel Cavalry, but the number that had been sent out before was twenty-eight. After the eighteen Steel Cavalry left Luoyang, other than the eighteen men sent by the Emperor, there were another ten men sent by Lord Fu Yi. Fu Yi told us in secret that with the protection of Heaven, ordinary vicious gods would not be able to get close to the emperor. The golden-armored ones would enter the court at night and take the emperor's head.

Ban Chao was skeptical, and asked tentatively, ”The words of the Ghost God are not enough to be trusted. Lord Fu is overthinking it, isn't he? ”

However, Chen Mu replied, ”I was just following orders, and I'm not sure if there were any ghosts or gods. But please think about it, the four spirits of heaven, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermillion Bird can all be called gods. This is something recorded in ancient texts, and is passed down from generation to generation. In the Da Yue family, I heard Mokka Ye's teachings. He said something similar: There are four spirits in the world, the East Island Hidden Sword God, the Western Regions's Witch Immortal, the Southern Wilderness' Gu Ancestor, the Northern Mountain Concealing Snow Monster, they are all otherworldly things that transcend the mortal world and do not enter the cycle of reincarnation. The four spirits would not easily appear. Once they did, the world would be thrown into chaos, and all life would be in ruins. I think that golden-armored god, could he be one of the four spirits? ”

Ban Chao laughed and said, ”Although the Northern Huns are rampant these days, the Southern Huns have already pledged their allegiance. The Emperor is wise, and his country is prosperous. The world is not in chaos.”

Before Chen Mu could say anything, Yin Ping quickly said, ”That's because the Eastern Lands are at peace. The world has been in chaos for a long time, otherwise, how could the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions continue fighting? How come the Huns and you Chinese always bully us, and keep recruiting? ”The Chinese came and told us to send troops and to send food, and the Chinese left and the Huns came and called us soldiers and to send food, and over and over again it seemed to go on forever.”
