Chapter 213: Dunhuang
As Ji Shanxing left the Institute of Buddhism, Chen Xiuyuan and Gao Han met with several masters who studied Buddhism and got to know each other, although these Buddhist masters were not as high as Ji Shanxing's status, but their rigorous attitude and solemnity as masters still won the respect of Chen Xiuyuan and Gao Han.
got on the special plane together, Chen Xiuyuan and Gao Han began to rest silently, preparing for the collision with foreign forces that might start soon, they didn't believe that those people who came to Dunhuang this time would be really honest, and something would definitely happen.
Time is like a shy little MM who is being teased by a pervert, and he hides without a shadow in a swish, Chen Xiuyuan feels that he has just been running his spiritual power for a week, and the special plane has arrived at the destination of this trip - Dunhuang.
Now Dunhuang City is far from the prosperity and strength of Dunhuang in Chen Xiuyuan's story, with the opening of the country and the development of reform and opening up, the lucky spring breeze is monopolized by the coastal and some economic fortresses.
Whether it is the former fertile land of the Central Plains or Dunhuang, a city that was rich and rivaled in ancient times, it is now only a barely good economic city, but it is still far from being compared with those provincial capitals and cities that are obviously much more economically developed.
However, because of the existence of the Mogao Grottoes and the Thousand Buddha Caves in Dunhuang, the local people are very good at using the existing resources to develop tourism, especially during the annual pilgrimage period, it will be lively here for a while.
Although today is not a pilgrimage day, the liveliness of Dunhuang is even more lively than that of the pilgrimage to the Thousand Buddha Caves.
A group of people walked out of the crowd and came to Chen Xiuyuan and the others, and a strong man with a national character face greeted Ji Shanxing: "It's really an honor for Mr. Ji to come again." Haha!"
"Captain Bi is polite!" Ji Shanxing greeted Bi Yujian very humbly, this Bi Yujian is an inspector of the Dragon Soul in Gansu, and this time because of the Dunhuang Buddhism International Exchange Conference, he was specially transferred. In fact, Bi Yujian is responsible for the security task of each exchange meeting, so the relationship between him and Ji Shanxing is quite familiar, and he is a lot more eager as soon as they meet.
"You are Chen Xiuyuan, you are really a genius, I have heard the team leader talk about you several times, this time I saw you is really different, you are already a strong man of heaven-level strength, it seems that I am old." Bi Yujian and several other Buddhist masters chatted for a few words, and then turned their attention to Chen Xiuyuan, and then patted Gao Han's shoulder: "Xiao Han, you are not bad, you have reached the peak of the Xuan level so quickly, I think you will soon be able to break through to the ground level, come on!"
"Brother Bi laughed, this is all thanks to Xiuyuan, otherwise I wouldn't have made such a rapid progress. Gao Han was very honest and not a little arrogant, but his words made Bi Yujian look at Chen Xiuyuan a few more times.
"Ji Lao, now that the Yankees and the British have arrived, and the others haven't arrived yet, why don't we go to the hotel first, and then go to meet them?"
Ji Shanxing is Ji Feng's father, and his status in terms of seniority is still above Bi Yujian, so Bi Yujian's attitude towards Ji Shanxing is very respectful, not only because of Ji Feng, but also because of Ji Shanxing's personality and cultivation.
"Who are the people from the United States and Britain this time?" asked Ji Shanxing.
"It's Adrian's guy from the United States, but he also brought a super mutant gene warrior Lewis, and I don't know what the Yankees think, and I'm not afraid of sending such a guy over and being killed by those masters. There was only one man from England, a marquis of the House of Stein, named Dalleser Stein. ”
"Stein?" A burst of light suddenly appeared in Ji Shanxing's eyes, and a short master who was with Ji Shanxing next to him was even more excited, and stepped forward to Ji Shanxing and said: "Ji Lao, I didn't expect the Stein family to send someone this time, this is a good opportunity, we must take advantage of this time to almost discuss with them again to see if we can ......"
"Okay, I see, since the Stein family is here, we do need to talk to them properly. Ji Shanxing waved his hand, stopping the Buddhist master from continuing, and then regained his composure and said to Bi Yujian: "You take me to meet the marquis of the Stein family, Master Luo, you guys go to rest first, I'll talk about the wind first, and see if I can let their family send them down." Xiuyuan, Gao Han, you guys go with me. ”
Ji Shanxing waved his hand at Chen Xiuyuan and Gao Han, the masters next to him seemed to be a little sleepy, and after listening to Ji Shanxing's words, he did not object, and went to the only four-star hotel in Dunhuang under the leadership of the service staff. And Chen Xiuyuan and Gao Han followed Ji Shanxing to meet the Marquis of the Stein family from England.
"Old Ji, what is the origin of this Stein family, do you see anything about him?" Chen Xiuyuan had some doubts in his heart, he remembered that it seemed that Carrot was a guy from England, so could this marquis of the Stein family, who also came from England, also a blood family.
"This Stein family is the second largest of the Seven Bloodline Families, second only to the Redmains family, which is ranked first. There are three dukes and powerhouses in the Stein family, of course, this is only on the surface, how many unborn old antiques are in their family, even our dragon souls are not very clear. And this Dalleser is not really a very gifted fellow, but he is the only one who has studied Buddhism more and is still a member of parliament, which is why the Stein family sent him. ”
Bi Yujian, as the person in charge of the security of this Dunhuang Buddhism International Exchange Conference, of course, has to be clear about many things, and now seeing that Chen Xiuyuan is puzzled, he is very kind to explain to Chen Xiuyuan.
"Captain Bi is right, this Stein family is indeed a very powerful family in the blood clan, the duke is strong, and the marquis is a lot of masters, this Dalleser is a good Buddhist, and the level is much higher than the guy who came last time. But it was precisely because of this that the Stein family would let him come. Last time, the British royal family sent someone over, but it turned out to be disgraced and went back, which was quite faceless. ”
Ji Shanxing added to Bi Yujian, "You may sound a little unfamiliar with the Stein family, but if you are familiar with the fact that Dunhuang was deceived into obtaining a large number of documents and scriptures in the early 20th century, you will certainly not be unfamiliar. Speaking of which, Aurel Stein, who came to Dunhuang and defrauded a large number of Buddhist scriptures from the hands of Wang Daoist, is a member of the Stein family, and now many of our precious scriptures are still occupied by the Stein family. ”
"Is that so?!" Chen Xiuyuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, he had also read about Wang Daoist being deceived into taking away the scriptures when he was in school, and the people who didn't deceive the scriptures were still from the blood clan, which really seemed a little weird. This blood clan can be regarded as a dark force, and the things of Buddhism should belong to the more masculine, which is said to be very different from the blood clan in the West, but there are people from the blood clan who come to cheat these things, which is really a bit puzzling.
"Who knows, it may be that those vampires have been suppressed by the people of the Vatican Holy See, and if they want to get back into the field, they want to study Buddhist scriptures that are more similar to the Western Holy See Bible. It's just a pity that Wang Taoist is just a mediocre person, where do you understand the preciousness of those scriptures, and you were stupidly deceived by a few taels of silver to deceive a huge amount of scriptures, and now there are only some translations left in the cave that survived and our country spent a lot of money to buy, and this is not very complete, and there are still many scriptures lost abroad. The Stein family has the heaviest share. Many of the scriptures we are missing today are in the Stein family, but many of the remaining missing scriptures were foolishly destroyed by Qing officials at the time. It's easier said than done to fix it now. I'd rather have all of these books swindled away from the Stein family than for them to be destroyed by ignorant people. ”
Ji Shanxing sighed and walked, and the breath of the whole person suddenly became a lot lost, because Ji Shanxing's spirit was comparable to that of a powerful spirit martial artist, and it was extremely keen, and it instantly infected the people around him, everyone knew a little about these things, and sighed one by one.
Although Chen Xiuyuan was not affected by the spirit like them, he couldn't help but be in awe at this time, he heard Master Ji Shanxing say a sentence a long time ago, which still lingers in his ears: "Dunhuang is in China, Dunhuang is in the world!"
What kind of mind and courage does this require, to be able to truly delve into an art without borders, and how many people can achieve the realm of Ji Shanxing?
"Old Ji, I won't let you down!" Although Chen Xiuyuan had made a promise to Ji Shanxing before, he had a very casual feeling at the time, but now it was different, Chen Xiuyuan was really moved by this master, if he didn't do something, Chen Xiuyuan felt that he might always have regrets in his heart. He does not want to leave regrets, whether it will be eternal life or perdition.
After getting into the special car, Gao Han has been silent now, and almost every moment he finds an opportunity to start cultivating silently, which makes Chen Xiuyuan feel relieved and worried at the same time, this is of course very good, but if it sinks too deep, it is also easy to produce magic obstacles.
For the time being, Gao Han has no problem, Chen Xiuyuan will not stop him, only by trying to go his own way, can he really grow up, Gao Han's talent is not as good as Lu Xiaomad and Li Hao, but Gao Han's mind is not worse than them, and Gao Han is very diligent, which makes up for some of his shortcomings, at this time he is like a cocoon, Chen Xiuyuan believes that Gao Han will eventually break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly one day.
Andrian and Lewis and the Dalleser of the Stein family, who came alone, did not rest in the hotel, but went to Dunhuang, a place full of mystery, especially Dallesser is full of yearning for Dunhuang, and he also has a deep study of Buddhism, and because of his own strength in the family peers, so the British side will let the only one who knows more about Eastern Buddhism come after consultation, as for Orel is now a duke with a respected status, naturally he will not come in person, and the spiritual martial arts world is very resistant to some heaven-level powerhouses abroad, and the United States dared to send a super mutant gene warrior who could be compared to the heavenly level. Of course, it is difficult to say whether this Mr. Lewis will return safely.
Driving all the way, through the rolling yellow sand, Chen Xiuyuan looked at Dunhuang looming in the wind and sand in the distance, and suddenly felt a sense of melancholy in his heart, he remembered Su Lingyun, remembered the story of the desert barren face that he told Su Lingyun at the beginning, but now, Chen Xiuyuan came to Dunhuang, but the beauty has gone away, and the red face has passed away.
