Chapter 59: Parting
Every Chinese person who reads Chinese history has had such an angry moment, fantasizing about changing history and pulling those humiliations and pains out of the soul of China. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Jun Changning is no exception.
What should her imaginary kingdom look like?
Perseverance, grace and valor, strength and pride, with a confident smile on the faces of their people, who are neither complacent nor ambitious, develop in innovation and prudence, and if there is a monarch, they must be wise and have a truly strong heart, willing to give sincerely for their people, and to be loved and praised.
With the backing of a strong army, forge ahead in stability, even if encountering a powerful enemy, do not lose the soul of the nation, be humble and calm, carve nobility and courtesy into the bones, never retreat because of fear, not conceited because of pride, and not tyrannical because of strength.
Xie Lanyong took them through the streets, casually pointing out the positions of the people who lived in them in the imperial court, as well as the various national policies formulated by the saints today, involving all kinds of actions to benefit the people proposed by a certain person, and there was no lack of praise in his tone. Hearing this, Su Ming and Zhuge Qing were dizzy, Feng Lin was full of interest, and Jun Changning's eyes lit up.
Passing through a circular building covering an extremely vast area, Xie Lanyong casually said that it was the Gongli Library established by the Damin Empire for more than 500 years, which was divided into 55 types of library halls such as history books, Taoist collections, geography, Ji Ran, laws, poetry, debate roomsγγγγγγ, etc., among which each hall had various subdivisions, and Jun Changning's eyes were full of shock.
Throughout the 5,000-year feudal history of the Great Rabbit Dynasty, there is no monarch who takes "Zhimin" as a national policy! What a broad-minded world the monarch of this kingdom must be! What a far-reaching vision! What a powerful conviction!
Jun Changning was in a complicated mood!
They passed by the bustling East Market and saw a long line in the distance, which Xie Lanyong said was merchants waiting to pay their taxes! Two hundred years ago, the Empress Shaohua implemented the law change, commerce flourished, the already low taxes of the Damin Empire were further reduced by two percent, and the labor force became more and more abundant, and the overseas colonial policy of the Damin was revealed from that time.
Jun Changning's last bit of pride as a traverser was not left behind.
In the bright lights, they followed behind Xie Lanyong, listened to him casually explain the bits and pieces of this country, and slowly understood the environment in which they were about to live.
This is more magnificent and colorful than the Age of Discovery in her memory! Jun Changning smiled at the corner of his lips, almost obsessed with greed and appreciating everything around him.
If she was already wary of the temptation of the mortal world on the Zen Peak, then, after seeing the Great Min Empire with her own eyes, that temptation turned into a maddening poppy poison, luring her to fall from her soul to her body! She fell in love with the country almost instantly, it was so beautiful! Let her desire from the bottom of her heart!
People here can express their ambitions to their heart's content, because it has a big enough stage; People here can enjoy it to the fullest because it is bustling enough; People here can chase their dreams uncontrollably, because its style is inclusive of everything; People here can fly to their heart's content because the sky is so high; The world makes the life of a mortal here dazzling and beautiful!
No wonder it is recorded in the texts that most of the monks who have been to the mortal world have chosen to give up monasticism! Jun Changning's eyes swept over a group of young men and women who were beautifully dressed and described, they were dancing, turning their arms around their waists and looking back, their singing voices were clear and tactful, lingering and compassionate, and the accompanying flute sound was like a heavenly sound. If you are happy, if you are so alive, how can a monk who only has cultivation in his life not be attracted!
Su Ming unconsciously stopped, looked at the group of people in fascination, was pulled by Zhuge Qing several times before coming back to his senses, and couldn't help but look back as he walked.
Only Feng Lin, smiling from beginning to end, calm and generous, followed behind Xie Lanyong nobly and elegantly, without the slightest movement, as if everything was passing by, and it was not worth her stopping and looking sideways. Only when she held Jun Changning to avoid oncoming pedestrians from time to time could she feel the slight warmth under her light breeze.
Xie Lanyong sighed secretly, Jun Changning's mood fluctuations behind him were so great that he couldn't deceive himself if he wanted to. He knew that she would like the mortal world, but he never imagined that she would like it to this extent!
Jun Changning smiled and listened to Xie Lanyong's explanation of the various activities of the current aristocratic men and women hobbies and the various taboos in interpersonal communication, all kinds of thoughts were chaotic, one moment was the mother's crying face, one moment was her collapse in the mirror, and the other was the dark and moonless night sky on the Entering Dao Peakγγγγγγ, even the appearance of his girlfriend dancing in the previous life flashed twice, Jun Changning was blazing.
In the end, a thought in the bottom of my heart gradually became clear, like a seed struggling to break through the ground, the heart of the chest was slightly hot, and a warm current flowed through the eyebrows and dantian in an instant. Jun Changning raised his eyebrows and smiled, and the confusion between his eyebrows was swept away.
Yes, she was born destined to cultivate!
Jun Changning is a person who is destined to cultivate!
Never before has this thought been so clear and so firm. Jun Changning thought that she must cherish the ten years of time.
Xie Lanyong's heart sank to the bottom, did he decide to stay in the mortal world so quickly? He can only watch her for just two hundred years, and then let her grow old, die, re-enter reincarnation, and never know him again? At this moment, Xie Lanyong's breathing was also a little unsteady, and he tried his best to suppress the idea of immediately pulling her back to the cultivation realm and erasing all the distracting thoughts in her memory to concentrate on cultivation.
He can't do that, Sleepless is right. She is an independent individual, with all the right to choose and be chosen, she is not his subject, nor is it Feng Lin and the three of them, since he has given her a special status in his heart, he can't treat her like everyone else. Perhaps, he should be alone and quiet!
They walked through the flow of people, walked through the hustle and bustle, and saw the joy and enthusiasm of the best sons and daughters of the people, and gradually, the crowd around them became smaller and smaller, and they were farther and farther away from the lantern society, and the surrounding buildings were no longer elegant, but strange and fresh, like a commercial street, the medium kind.
Finally, they stopped in front of a wooden building that looked a little dilapidated and desolate, it was very remote, and the wooden building was surrounded by open space and overgrown with weeds, and a wild dog was startled by them, and hissed and ran away.
Putting away the invisibility spell, Xie Lanyong handed an envelope to Feng Lin, and said lightly: "This is the new identity I arranged for you, this place in front of you is the only capital for you to settle down in the future, remember, unless life and death are at stake, it is not allowed to hurt the lives of mortals, and it is very easy to have demons when involved in cause and effect with the world." β
"Yes!" Feng Lin and the four responded in unison.
Xie Lanyong paused, looked at them for a while, and said, "Feng Lin, as a senior sister, needs to take care of the three of them, and there must be no loss!" β
"Disciple understands!" Feng Lin lowered her eyes solemnly.
"In this way, the teacher is also relieved." Xie Lanyong's voice became weaker and weaker, he thought about it, and felt that there was nothing missing, so he turned around and left.
Xu has just experienced the bustle and prosperity, and the parting at this moment is particularly bleak.
Xie Lanyong's bloody white hair reflected the dark night, gradually drifting away, the cool breeze blew, a strand of white hair floated slightly, lonely like snow on the plateau, I don't know if it was their illusion or what, Xie Lanyong's back has never been so lonely tonight, the high dignity and pride, as if dyed by this night, there is a heaviness that is extremely suppressed.
"Masterγγγγγγ" As soon as Jun Changning spoke, he suddenly found that it was a quartet.
Xie Lanyong turned his head.
Feng Lin was slightly embarrassed, and said calmly: "Disciple, I hope Master will take care!" β
Xie Lanyong nodded slightly.
Su Ming's cheeks were slightly hot, and her eyes were moist: "Master, we are not here, you have to take good care of yourself!" β
Xie Lanyong nodded.
Zhuge Qing raised his eyebrows lightly: "We must not forget to cultivate, Master rest assured!" β
Xie Lanyong's eyes were slightly warm, and he nodded: "Hmm!" β
Jun Changning's nails sank deep into the flesh, and he tried his best to meet the gaze of his master, and the guilt in the depths of his eyes was clear: "Master,γγγγγγ I'm sorry!" β
Xie Lanyong glanced at her, didn't speak, and turned to leave.
Jun Changning froze on the spot.
Feng Lin, Su Ming, and Zhuge Qing looked at her sympathetically, not knowing how to comfort her.
