Chapter 22: No one is precious, and the ears are soaring
Yellow sand meets my face, and the sound of wind surrounds my ears.
Chen Yi covered his face with his sleeves, and all he could see was misty yellow sand. Fortunately, the group of them had not been walking for long despite the wind and sand, and the scene ahead suddenly opened up and there was a touch of green in the dim yellow.
The blue waves of the jungle, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. It was actually a city located in an oasis. Even from a distance, Chen Yi could see people coming and going, bustling with people.
"This is the capital of the Loulan Kingdom, and it is also the Buddhist capital of the Western Regions. The city has no walls, and everyone can come there. I am trying to be inclusive." The white elephant with yellow teeth who led the way smiled, looking proud.
"Tsk, tsk!" Zhu Ganghe sneered, "You just prevented the young boy from the Chen family from setting foot in the Western Regions. How can you have the nerve to be inclusive?"
"Bah!" Xin Yuan grinned, "You monster, you are just a talker. No matter how nice your words are, they are just used to deceive others. In fact, you don't believe it at all!"
Aren't you a monster too?
Huang Ya was very angry for a moment, but he didn't dare to refute, he could only snort in his heart.
Chen Yi did not participate in the ridicule, but was very interested in the so-called Loulan Kingdom.
"It is said in the literature that Loulan has been destroyed long ago. So, during the hundreds of years of war in the Central Plains, what happened in the Western Regions?" With doubts, he followed Huang Ya into the oasis city.
The streets are orderly, pedestrians are orderly, everyone smiles, greets each other, and is polite and considerate.
However, the scene in front of Chen Yi made him feel strange.
The pedestrians on this road have different appearances. There are blond people and people with black hair and white skin. But they are almost the same. They all have black hair and black eyes, and they are like Chinese descendants. But when these people opened their mouths, what they said was no longer Chinese.
, the etiquette of greeting people is also very different from that of the Central Plains, and the dress is completely different from that of the Central Plains.
They are both men and women, all wearing bathrobe-like clothes with patterns like cassocks, and their hairstyles are quite strange. Most of them are just loose, and some have all the sideburns removed, leaving only the long hair hanging down on the top of their heads.
Come down.
After watching for a while, Chen Yi gradually noticed the details. Although they were all greeting each other, the smiles of the Chinese Miao people were full of flattery and flattery.
What happened to the descendants of China in this country in the Western Regions?
Noticing Chen Yi's gaze, Huang Ya regained his energy, as if he had found a breakthrough from the suppression of the Heart Monkey and the Pig Gang Hyena, and said: "You descendants of the Central Plains are born with sins. Only piety can
Buddha, treat others with sincerity and do more righteous deeds to atone for your sins!"
"Born to be entangled in sin? What kind of fallacy is this!"
Chen Yi's trip to the west is to understand the depth of Buddhism and uncover the truth about Buddhism, so he should be vigilant immediately!
"Why do you ask?" The white elephant spirit was about to say, when suddenly it felt cold in its heart, but the eyes of the Heart Monkey and the Pig Gang Hyena fell on it! It trembled in its heart, swallowed the words in its throat, and turned to say
: "As long as you stay here for a few days, you will understand."
As they talked, several people walked through several streets and walked outside a courtyard door.
This courtyard occupies a large area. Through the courtyard wall, Chen Yi has already seen the rockery pavilions, but both the style of the mountain peaks and the structure of the pavilions are completely different from those in the Central Plains.
Bai Xiangjing introduced: "This is a guest house, set up for people from all over the Western Regions who come to worship the true Buddha. You are some distinguished guests, so please stay here."
Zhu Ganghe said: "Didn't your master send a message to see us? Why did he arrange for us to stay here?"
The White Elephant Jing said: "My master has a noble status and has many things to do every day. Every move involves a lot. Although we need to meet with several people, it cannot be arranged in an instant. The various involvements are quite complicated. Please wait patiently.
Be patient and don't be impatient."
"That's fine." Zhu Gangxi nodded, "I can't be easily seen by others. You can make good arrangements and send someone over to ask for permission. It's a process."
"..."
Seeing that the other party was taking it for granted, the white elephant spirit didn't know how to respond for a while, so it simply kept its promise until the end. Then it found an opportunity to leave, saying that it had something important to do. It already felt depressed around a few people, so of course it didn't want to stay for a long time.
, not to mention that if the work is not successful this time, I have to report it back to the superior.
As soon as this person left, Chen Yi and his entourage were led into the courtyard by others. The courtyard was magnificent, unique in craftsmanship, and had an exotic style, which attracted a few people to marvel. There is not much to say about this.
But it was night, and Chen Yi was in his room, looking through the books and bamboo slips on the bookshelf, moving them back and forth, frowning, and showing displeasure.
"Boy, why are you unhappy?" Zhu Gangxi jumped in from the window, noticed Chen Yi's expression, and asked.
Chen Yi looked back and asked instead of answering: "How did Zhu Jun walk out of the window?"
"There are restrictions, formations, and many eyes everywhere in this courtyard. I don't like being spied on, so I walked out of the window." After Zhu Ganghe said, he asked again: "Okay, don't ask me, just say
I told you, but what did you find?"
"Zhu Jun, please read." Chen Yi spread out several books and bamboo slips in his hand.
Zhu Gangxi waved his hand: "I don't know Chinese characters, so you'd better speak frankly."
"..."
Chen Yi's chest felt tight, but he couldn't say anything else, so he could only say: "The books on this bookshelf that are most popular are books related to the Eastern Land and the Central Plains."
Zhu Gang said curiously: "During the day, that elephant kept belittling you Central Plains people. He always stepped on the Central Plains and promoted this place. How come the bookshelves here are all related to the Central Plains?"
"Because what is said in these books are all derogatory remarks, and they have also been written into legendary stories, with rich details, as if they were witnessed by the author." Chen Yi pointed to several books with an ugly face, "They are said to reveal the character of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.
Among them, "Peering into the Black Emperor", some describe the cruelty of the ancestral dragons and are called "Qin Totem", some discuss the decline of the population at the end of the Han Dynasty and are called "Han Shang", some discuss the bad habits of China and are called "Huan Zhen Lu", and some are called "Huan Zhen Lu".
It is called "Pseudo-Historical Research" to prove that China has always been inferior since ancient times..."
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. His fingers trembled slightly and he wanted to tear the books and bamboo slips in his hands into pieces.
Zhu Ganghe laughed and said: "I wonder what's going on! It turns out that you, the boy, were exposed for your shortcomings, and you were so embarrassed! You are now small, and the structure is small. You guys, you have many bad habits, and you are said to be bad.
One or two, why is it strange? If I were to say it, I wouldn’t be able to finish it even if I talked about it for three days and three nights! Be open-minded and have the courage to admit it! Don’t always think about covering up or whitewashing it!”
"You idiot, your back hurts when you stand and talk!"
A sharp voice came from outside the window.
Xin Yuan jumped in from the outside, glanced at Chen Yi, and said to Zhu Gangxuan: "Human beings are inherently vicious, but they are not unique to the people of the East. It is unreasonable to all belong to the same clan!
Soon, if you only talk about bad qualities and not about virtues, isn't it just like being a rogue? My true self has a magical power called 'Senluo Cocoon Room', what do you mean?"
"Senluo Cocoon Room?" Chen Yi looked suspicious. In recent times, he has had too many questions that he still has not been able to answer.
"Look at me again!" Xin Yuan grinned at him, "I don't have the patience to tell you."
"I'm afraid you monkey can't explain clearly!" Zhu Ganghe curled his lips.
Chen Yi's heart moved, and he squeezed out a mixture of admiration and confusion, and said to Zhu Gangxi: "Zhu Jun is so wise, he must know the secrets!"
"Of course!" Zhu Gangxie raised his head, "It's just that someone is on top, interfering with other people's five senses and six consciousnesses and what they see." Seeing Chen Yi's confused look, Zhu Gangxie was impatient.
Said: "You still don't understand? You are so stupid! Just like you, if from today on, you can only see things related to shit, in fifty years, over time, no matter how smart you are, no matter how good you are at studying, you will
In the end, isn't it still possible to only extend from shit? Not only that, if you think too much about shit, do thorough research, and achieve many fruitful results, you will naturally feel that you are self-directed, think by yourself, and be proud of it. Hey! Stupid!
"
"I see, I have learned a lesson." Chen Yi thanked him sincerely. Looking at the books and bamboo slips on the bookshelf, he inexplicably thought of the Chinese Miao people on the street who were trying to please others.
Could it be...
Xin Yuan looked at Zhu Gang Hye with a look of disgust.
"Xilulu!"
At this time, the sound of horses was heard outside the window.
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then watched in shock as the white horse squeezed in from the narrow window.
"Brother Ma'er, why are you like this? Is there really something extraordinary about this window? No, you're not staying in the stable, what are you doing here?"
Just as he was thinking, there was suddenly a noise outside the door, and then a voice sounded
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! I want to see which noble descendant from China is here and lives in the Foreigners' Pavilion so easily! This is so unfair!" The tone of these words was quite good.
It's weird, even though it's spoken in a Chinese language, the ending sound is somewhat specious.
As soon as the sound fell, Chen Yi's door was pushed open with a bang, and an old man with white hair and beard staggered in.
He was thin and had an old face. He was wearing a robe like a bathrobe. As soon as he came in, he stared at Chen Yi, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and scrutiny. Then, he said in a slightly weird tone: "He is actually a young boy.
! Boy, where do you come from, what virtues and abilities do you have, how can you live in the Foreign Recruitment Hall as soon as you arrive? We want to be naturalized, which is extremely difficult. Why do you, a sinner from the east, stand by us?
On the head?" When he said it later, he was so angry that he almost overflowed and couldn't help but scratch his beard hard!
"Wang Yiqi! This is a distinguished guest, no need to bump into him!" The tall, round-waisted blond man walked in slowly, slapped the old man on the face, and scolded him angrily. At the same time, he glanced at the people in the room and was startled.
Why are there so many people? There are only monkeys, but also a horse?
The old man covered his cheek, bowed to the blond man, showed a friendly and flattering smile, and whispered in a low voice: "Captain, I'm not here to stir up trouble. I'm really worried that all of you will be affected by this.
The boy from the East is deceiving! People of the East's bloodline like us are the best at deception. Their despicableness is so deep in their bones that it is almost impossible to save them. We must be careful and guard against it! Otherwise, a single oversight may lead to a trap!" He said more and more.
The more excited you get, the louder your voice becomes!
"How could you be so willing to harm yourself and still slander me?" Being slandered in person, Chen Yi was angry at first, and then found it difficult to understand. He didn't know how the old man in front of him could say such weird words and slander him like this.
What is your own bloodline?
Unexpectedly, the old man turned his head sharply and shouted at him with a ferocious expression: "What do you know? Look at the way you look at the sky from a well! Do you know how much effort we have spent to establish ourselves here? Do you know
, how unbearable are the people of the Eastern Dynasty? You don’t know, because you were born in injustice, are good at lying, and your every word and deed is controlled by others. It is pitiful, pitiful and hateful! You deserve to die!"
Chen Yi's eyes widened with disbelief on his face, and what Zhu Gangxi had just said flashed through his mind.
Senluo cocoon room?
The blond man watched the people of the same race with black eyes confront each other with interest, and said nothing.
Wang Yiqi, however, spoke eloquently, with a solemn expression on his face, as if he was taking an oath in front of the Buddha, and said in a deep voice: "Our ancestors have lived a very vulgar, humble, sinful life, mentally and physically, for generations.
Having inherited this sinful bloodline, the hearts of future generations like us are filled with indelible indelible traces of the five aggregates and six thieves!"
As he spoke, he took a deep breath, showing a look of satisfaction and intoxication.
"Fortunately, fortunately! During the war in the Central Plains, my grandfather fled here and came to this land of goodness, the land of Buddhism! This is a peaceful land where everyone lives with dignity, lives a sophisticated and orderly life, and is civilized and enlightened.
Only here can you come into contact with the glory of the Paradise..."
"You were slapped by him just now, and you were still smiling shyly. How can you be so dignified?" Zhu Gangxi pointed at the blond man and interrupted him at an inappropriate time. When the other man glared at him with murderous intent, Zhu Ganghe said
Gang Hye immediately stared back, "What are you looking at? I'll slap you again!"
"You are also a bitch!" Wang Yiqi immediately became energetic when he saw that although Zhu Ganghye's skin was a little whiter, he still looked honest and had black hair and eyes. "You..."
Snapped!
How could Zhu Gangxuan be so angry? He swayed, reached the old man, greeted him with a slap, and slapped the old man's face. The few remaining teeth in the old man's mouth flew out mixed with blood,
His body spun and flew out of the window!
"Dare you take action?" The blond man frowned, as if he suddenly came back to his senses, "Do you know where this place is? There can be no human disputes here. It is a grave sin to think about fighting indiscriminately! Get people left and right..." He
There was a proud look in his eyes as if his plan had succeeded.
"You can beat me, but I can't?" Zhu Gangxi slapped his palm forward, turned it into the size of a cattail leaf fan, and stamped towards the man!
"How dare you act so arrogantly here! You have violated the laws of the Buddhist kingdom! You will be punished...ah!" The blond man sneered and made a seal with his hand, but before he could use his magical power, his face suddenly changed and he hurriedly set up a spiritual light barrier.
But it was still a step too late, and with the sound of shattering, he was kicked out by a leg!
"Noisy!" Xin Yuan kicked the man away, "It's all twists and turns, it's so awkward! I'm really not suitable for any trick that lures you into a trap, so I might as well use my fists and kicks to beat the descendant out!"
When he finished speaking, he slapped his paw on the ground.
Boom!
The entire courtyard collapsed and shattered!
"Xilulu!" In the flying dust, the white horse bit and flicked, throwing the dull-faced Chen Yi on its back, and skillfully led him away with his feet on the clouds and mist.
"well……"
Suddenly there was a sound of sighing in the sky.
Then a figure shrouded by the sun appeared.
"Poor people in the world are so ignorant that they often resort to violence and don't know how to understand! Today, I will ask a poor monk to save a few of you, so that you and others can escape from ignorance and barbarism and bathe in the light of civilization!"
