Chapter 482 Meeting at Tianjin Bridge
"Everyone, stop looking at me with such bitterness and hatred. Sit down." Duran waved his hand, and the square eight-immortal table became a weird pentagonal table with one more chair. "This night is still long!"
It was still Tianjin Bridge.
The seating order was Duran, Qianqian, Xu Ziling, Shi Feixuan, and Li Shimin.
Recently, the heads of major warlords gathered in Luoyang to compete for the Heshi Bi. However, they did not expect that the winner had already been determined, and they could only work hard in vain.
Shi Feixuan wanted to leave, but was worried that the King of Qin would stay here alone.
"I have a few books here, you can take a look." Duran, who sat down again, became serious. The four young people in front of him were all excellent. No matter what they thought, this could not be changed.
"Is this a book?" Three tablets.
"Yes, you see a small book pattern on it, click it."
The text appeared on the screen, which made people marvel. The screen glowing at night was already surprising, and now seeing that this thing can still be used makes them think that it is another magic weapon of the immortals.
"Here are some books about state theory, international relations, and some books on the foundation of political parties. There is no way out for a country to always rely on the emperor, even if the emperor is supported by the people."
"You can go back and read these books slowly. We just talked about the topic of governing the country and becoming a Buddha." Du Lan said blabberingly.
Four people, three tablets, Du Lan was scattered, and one each for Xu Ziling and Li Shimin, and Shi Feixuan was empty-handed, which made her very embarrassed.
"Sir, is there any other such...books? Miss Shi hasn't got them yet." Li Shimin's mention made Shi Feixuan even more embarrassed and aggrieved. It would be strange if she could feel good being targeted by Du Lan.
"We are talking about national affairs, and monks should concentrate on practicing." Du Lan said.
"As the head of the righteous way, I, Cihang Jingzhai, should set an example. It is my duty to select a common leader for the people of the world to save the world," Shi Feixuan said firmly.
"Before that, you are monks, please don't forget this! Your ancestors built Cihang Jingzhai in a remote mountain area, isn't it because it is quiet there, and it is good for cultivation to stay away from the mundane world. So you don't need this kind of state governance policy, and I have more important things for you to do later."
Shi Feixuan was neither leaving nor staying after Duran said that, and could only wait until they finished talking before making plans.
Duran talked a lot, but mainly made a simple analysis of the definition of the country and the international situation, as well as China's characteristics.
Not only that, the maps and data that Duran displayed on the desktop casually, and various terms that others would not understand without explanation.
It was talked until the early morning, when the temperature was the coldest, but everyone, including Shi Feixuan, was attracted by what Duran said and focused on forgetting the cold. From Duran's simple explanation, they learned about the development of society, from the abdication of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, to the enfeoffment of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, to the monarchical centralism of the Qin Dynasty, and even talked about the multi-party political discussion that had not yet appeared and would only appear after the collapse of the monarchy.
Everyone benefited a lot. This time they jumped out of the limitations of history and saw a lot of things.
"Times are changing, and many things are changing. But if you want this country that has been passed down from the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the Yanhuang race that was born to prosper, you still have a lot to do. I hope these books can inspire you. I hope you can build a country with multiple political parties, not a country with only one emperor. Brother Ziling, you can tell Kou Zhong about these things. If he is determined to dominate the world, he must be prepared. His final enemy is not Li Shimin, but how to govern the world. After the hegemony, there will be a huge responsibility. Let him be prepared. If you throw it away casually, it will not only be irresponsible to himself, but also to his subordinates. As for the common people, I won't mention it. I think you won't take it to heart if you do it." Du Lan concluded, "Brother Ziling and Brother Shimin, you can go."
The two looked at each other and finally stood up, "Goodbye, see you later."
"Miss Shi, I have a very meaningful thing that needs you to complete. I wonder if you are willing?"
"Sir, just say it." Shi Feixuan said, she had calmed down at this time. Dulan is definitely not an ordinary person. If you are hostile to him, it will definitely do more harm than good to Cihang Jingzhai. Facing such a person, if you don't handle it well, it will make Cihang Jingzhai fall into an irreparable situation.
"I intend to guide the four of you to go to the Buddhist country of India to retrieve the true scriptures, and then translate and pass them on to the world. I wonder if Miss Shi is willing to join."
Go to the West to retrieve the true scriptures? What exactly does this Dulan intend to do? If he is hostile to Buddhism, it seems unreasonable to make such a decision.
"I think Miss Shi still has some misunderstandings about me. It is true that I am very disgusted with the way Cihang Jingzhai handles things. I wish I could crush the entire Cihang Jingzhai into ashes, but I will not do it. Because this is just a difference in views and positions, there is no need to kill. I think I have already talked about political parties before. It is normal for political parties to disagree, but their central idea is to work hard for the prosperity and prosperity of the country. Political parties with different political views often curse, but they will not harm the interests of the country for the benefit of the party (it's strange). The existence of your Cihang Jingzhai is necessary for the Central Plains, and it is indispensable to stabilize the martial arts world. I have no opinion on Buddhism, and I hope that everyone can understand Buddhism correctly. As long as you withdraw from state affairs and concentrate on developing Buddhism, I will still support it."
"Sir, you are very righteous. Shi Feixuan thanks you here. OK, I will participate. It just needs to wait until the world is peaceful." Shi Feixuan said, also buying time. In the past few years, it was because these nuns recommended the emperor that Cihang Jingzhai became so powerful. It is not easy to withdraw. Now we will delay time and deal with Duran's affairs later.
"Two of the four have been confirmed. When all four are confirmed, we must set off." Du Lan looked at Shi Feixuan and said.
"Who are the others?"
"The one who is ready is the loner Ning Daoqi, and you are the one who agreed to join. The other two are the Queen of Yin Zhu Yuyan and the evil king Shi Zhixuan."
The three names surprised Shi Feixuan. These three people are all masters, and two of them are from the Demon Sect.
"Existence is reasonable. Miss Shi, don't care too much about good and evil. In the eyes of Buddha, all beings are equal, and good and evil will be rewarded." Du Lan said, "You have to broaden your mind to truly understand the boundless Buddha Dharma."
"Fei Xuan has learned from you."
"Well, do what you should do now. I will find you when all the people who are going to get the scriptures are ready."
"Yes, Fei Xuan will leave." Shi Feixuan flew up, and her figure merged into the morning glow.
Obviously, Du Lan had left a deep impression on Shi Feixuan in one night, making Shi Feixuan respect Du Lan a lot.
"Xianxian, take me to find your master."
"You know how to send me." Xianxian said softly, "How do you know my master has arrived in Luoyang?"
"When you become a Buddha, you will know. Let's go."
Xianxian only felt that the scenery in front of her was distorted, and then she and Dulan appeared outside the door of the inn where her master was staying. She moved several streets in an instant. This time she really believed that Dulan was a god.
It is known as the Tianjin Bridge Meeting in history. Dulan enlightened four new youths and planted the seeds for change.
