Chapter 177 Agreement
On November 11, Zhao Ran entered the Tianlong Academy and held a half-hour talk with the senior management of the Tianlong Academy headed by Master Yin Guang.
Master Yin Guang expressed his warmest welcome to Zhao Ran's visit on behalf of the Western Xia Buddhists. He said that due to historical reasons, the two sides fought against each other for a long time, which caused huge harm to the practitioners and believers on both sides and brought immeasurable losses to the development of both sides. The true person who spread the Dharma was able to visit Xingqing in person brought a lot of warmth and enthusiasm, reflecting the incomparable courage of the Taoist sect and the Ming Dynasty to cross the gap. Whether it was him, the Buddhist monks, or even all believers in the Xia Kingdom, they felt great sincerity.
In his conversation, Zhao Ran pointed out that the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism, and the two countries of Ming and Xia have been the same language since ancient times. The so-called beauty of clothing is called Hua, and the name of etiquette is Xia. We grew up in this land, saying the same words, eating the same food, wearing the same clothes, and using the same words, and we are all from China. In the past, due to historical reasons, the war and trauma brought to us was heavy enough. For the happy life and healthy growth of future generations, we should start from now, start from me, start from small things, and eliminate hostility bit by bit.
Zhao Ran also said that although the beliefs between the two sides are different and the paths of cultivation are very different, this is inevitable. We should sit down now, seek common ground while reserving differences, jointly solve the living difficulties of believers and the people, and develop our trustworthiness.
Zhao Ran further pointed out that the main contradiction facing our generation at present is no longer a contradiction between Buddhism and Taoism. How to inherit Chinese civilization and not slide to the Dharma-Ending Heavens is an urgent task facing us. He hopes to strengthen understanding, enhance mutual trust through this visit, and lay a solid foundation for building a civilization, prosperity and prosperity Greater Chinese civilization circle in the future.
At the end of the conversation, Zhao Ran presented a large gift package to Tianlong Courtyard. In the 27th year of Longqing, the number of Buddhist relocation increased to five people (not counting the two monks of Gaotai Temple and the Buddha Courtyard), and gave 10 million kilograms of Xixia rice and one million flying talismans (the latest improved version can be used without a talisman job), and gave the latest "Xinzhou Sixty" flying magic weapon of Tianlong Courtyard.
Master Yin Guang accepted the donation on behalf of Tianlongyuan and Xixia. To express his gratitude, the gift was as follows: One thousand cows, one thousand sheep, snow lotus, Ganoderma lucidum, deer antler and other medicinal materials, and allowed Junshan Airlines to open the Songfan to Xingqing route.
Subsequently, Gao Yanei represented Xixia and Shi Weiming represented Daming, and signed the "Mingxia Armistice", "Mingxia" and "Sei" at the Tianlong Courtyard; the elder Hongxiang, the Dharma-sending Master of Xuanyetang, and Wang Wusen, the deacon of Jiuzhou Pavilion, signed the "Mingxia Forbidden Performing Agreement".
Master Yin Guang and Zhao Ran attended the signing ceremony and took a photo with the personnel of both parties to the signing.
Since the signing date is November 11, later generations called this package of agreement the "Double Eleven Agreement".
During his visit, Zhao Ran, a real person who spread the Dharma, won unanimous praise in Xingqing Prefecture. Major journals in Xixia believed that he was the "creator of peace", the "creator of the new generation of Taoism", the "inventor of the same species and language concept in China", and the "foreror who crossed the threshold of Buddhism and Taoism", and was supported by countless monks and believers.
When we were going to Gaotai Temple, Jietai Temple, Buddha Court and other major temples for exchange, Xingqing Mansion was crowded with worshipping Buddhist believers on both sides of the main street along the road, and had to go out to clear the road for the imperial guards.
On the day the Double Eleven Agreement was signed, Zhao Ran was once again bursting into the Qi Sea by the merit power that was madly pouring in. The huge merit power was much more than the time when Yingtian saved millions of people! Zhao Ran had expected this a long time ago, stopping the war would be a great merit at any time.
Zhao Ran has been in the Xu world for twelve years. According to his own calculations, it may not take long to move towards the Hedao Realm.
On the day he left Xingqing, Zhao Ran climbed the Xinzhou flying magic weapon from Cuiming Villa. After the entire team took off, he suddenly saw that there were crowds of people outside the villa, kneeling down and kowtowing towards the flying magic weapon being taken off. Hongdao, who sent Zhao Ran back, sighed and advised: "The real person who spread the Dharma should go down, don't let down the high expectations of the people."
Zhao Ran nodded in agreement and let the flying magic weapon slowly land on the mountain road. The crowds of people gathered around. The leading old men stepped forward and opened ten large umbrellas. Each one was full of names and fingerprints of all sizes. When the big umbrella was opened, countless people shouted on the mountain road and under the mountain road: "Thank you the real master of spreading the Dharma!"
Zhao Ran sighed for a long time, put away the umbrella, boarded the new boat again, leaned against the side of the cabin and waved farewell.
The news about this visit to Xingqing was reported throughout the process by mainstream journals such as "Junshan Notes", "Longhu Mountain", "Inside and Outside the Imperial City", "The New Talk of Lingbao" and other mainstream journals. The high-standard receptions Zhao Ran received in Xingqing and the large amount of praise they received were truthfully passed back to the Ming Dynasty. Especially in an interview, Zhao Ran said that these receptions, these praises were not for him, but for Buddhist monks and Xixia people to Taoist monks and Ming people. This sentence made everyone feel like drinking mellow wine, and their hostility towards Buddhism and Xixia began to slowly relieve them.
In February of the 27th year of Longqing, the Chaos Immortal World ushered in its twelfth development. The total value of investment in development this year reached 745 billion yuan, setting a record high.
Last year, the trustworthiness was worth 13.5 billion, and the investment was 30.5 billion; each pavilion donated 1.2 billion; seven Buddhists moved to the Bodhisattva realm, a second-minded monk, and a second-minded monk, and six Arhats, and a second-minded monk, bringing 6 billion-billion Luo, totaling 11 billion-billion Luo and 2.2 billion-billion Gui!
This is the increase of twenty-four Lushan Mountains. At this point, the entire Chaos Immortal Realm is almost equivalent to one hundred and twenty-four Lushan Mountains, exceeding two Jiujiang Prefectures! The distance from Xianxian Peak to any surrounding boundary has expanded to two hundred and twenty miles, and the horizontal and vertical length has reached four hundred and forty miles. The internal and external time ratio has further decreased to one to seven.
The newly moved in this year include seven Buddhist monks and four Taoist monks. As a result, the total number of monks in the Chaos Immortal Realm has risen to 83, including seventy-three Taoist monks and ten Buddhist monks.
The process of signing the document of the heart-to-be-secret oath and selecting the number and place is very mature. Zhao Ran and Zhou Yunzhi sat in the palace of the ancestors and supervised the completion of all this. They were dragged by Qingqiu and Nazhen to the edge of Hunyuan Lake.
A green hillside by the lake appeared in front of Zhao Ran, which was obviously extending out of the lake water. There were a large number of water plants on the shore protruding out of their waists, swaying lightly in the wind, emitting a strong chaotic spiritual power.
"This slope is full of spiritual herbs and elixirs, which are extremely precious. I have issued an announcement that no picking is allowed." Nazhen looked at the green slope in front of her with care, and said as she squatted down and fiddled with a spiritual herb with her fingers.
