Chapter 1031 Difficult Requests to Refuse (Part II)

As Zhao Xing said, Huangzhou is a poor and remote place, and the donations of Buddhist believers are a few pennies and a few pennies, and if the Buddha seal can pull this alms, it can completely renovate the Doufang Temple.

Buddha Yin is also chic, hearing Zhao Xing's request, he didn't even ask for "advance payment", he stretched out his hand in a chic manner, high-fived Zhao Xing as an oath, and then said goodbye happily, and then, this person will no longer rìrì come to the door.

Two months later, Zhao Xing arranged everything in Huangzhou, and was ready to take Cheng Azhu to Hangzhou, and when he left, Su Shi said: "Leaving people, I also feel that the court has changed, maybe Brother Mengde is right, I hope you go and come back quickly, and you will help me when I recover." ”

"It must be so", Zhao Xing agreed angrily.

Su Dongpo, a great writer, has such a free teacher to teach, presumably he can also write a few crooked poems.

Before boarding the ship, Zhao Xing suddenly remembered something and turned around to explain: "Teacher, Dun'er is less than a year old now, so young, it is extremely unsafe to travel long distances. If I don't come back, my husband will get the news of the recovery, so it is better to leave the child behind...... In this way, Ah Zhu stayed, and in case the bachelor left in a hurry, he would hand over the child to Ah Zhu to take care of. ”

Su Dongpo raised his face to the sky and sighed: "Liren is a person who can entrust his wife and children, and I can trust you to entrust my children." However, Azhu still comes with you, you two are newly married, and get together more. ”

"Okay, I'll go back and explain to Patriarch Cheng, and then inform Chen Jichang that with their husband and wife here, the child will definitely be taken care of very well, and the teacher can rest assured that he can go on the road!"

Zhao Xing didn't know that in the real history, Su Dun died on the way to trek. With his intervention, history has quietly changed.

In April of the seventh year of Yuanfeng, Zhao Xing's donkey cart entered Quanzhou. At the same time, Su Shi sent his eldest son Su Mai to Dexing County, Raozhou to take office and wrote "The Story of Shizhong Mountain".

It's the season of sowing, and along the way, the fields are full of farmers who sow hope; This is a season of flowers, and countless indescribable flowers along the way make Cheng Azhu, who walked out of the mountains for the first time, obsessed.

Quanzhou is now called "Thorn Tree" in the mouth of foreigners. Quanzhou also has another name, called "City of Light...... At night more than 1,000 years ago, the world's cities were pitch black, and only China's cities were brightly lit and bright. More than 1,000 years ago, the world's cities were quiet at night, and only China's cities were crowded with people, singing and laughing......

Most cities in the world have a curfew, prohibiting people from taking to the streets at night, however, only the Great Song Dynasty allows merchants to stay open all night, so the night of the Great Song Dynasty is brightly lit and crowded with people, in this sense, all the cities of the Great Song Dynasty are "bright cities".

This is a blood-pumping era, and everything in the Great Song Dynasty is boiling, tumbling, and impacting the surrounding countries. In the 21st century, Asian historians are full of excitement to describe that in the second half of the 11th century, Asia was the Asia of Su Dongpo and the Asia of the Great Song Dynasty.

At this moment, facing everyone is the north gate of Quanzhou.

Zhao Xing had been to Quanzhou before, but he was still obsessed with looking up at the north gate wall.

It is a strange section of the city wall, on which the bricks are inlaid with angels and crosses, and the north gate has a strange pointed arch with crosses and flames, crosses and lotus flowers, and 15 lines of Arabic (Syriac) script.

Zhao Xing stood here as a modern person, looking at those patterns always felt very strange, he suspected that the construction of this city wall was a group of Christians, because not only the north gate of Quanzhou is inlaid with Christian patterns, but also several other city gates and city walls in Quanzhou are embedded with Christian crosses everywhere, however, in his memory, there are relevant records that are not remembered, perhaps the Mongols burned all the words, making this history seem confusing.

Now, Zhao Xing stands in front of this annihilated history and witnesses it as it is, but his mood is difficult to describe in words: surprised? Drunk? Admiration? Bemoan? Regretful? …… It's more of a deep sense of loss.

Yes, what is he lost, this is the loss of the nation!

Unbeknownst to Zhao Xing, the Lotus Cross and the Flame Cross were the symbols of Nestorian Christianity, China's native Christianity. This kind of cross is known as the "Thorn Tong Cross", that is, the "Quanzhou Cross". The Arabic line he saw was a praise to "the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit."

The people around him couldn't understand Zhao Xing's feelings, and they kept urging him to enter the city. The people behind Zhao Xing who were blocked by him at the gate of the city also urged repeatedly. In the midst of the shouting, Zhao Xing lowered his eyes and walked towards the city.

As soon as you enter Quanzhou, the first thing you see is countless tall colored buildings built with colored silk. In the Song Dynasty, this kind of colorful building erected in front of the store was called "Huanmen". Looking along the street, there are countless happy families competing for beauty, and the inspiration of the designers is breathtaking—in the Song Dynasty, there was already such a clear sense of advertising, which is really unimaginable for Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing hired two helpers at the gate of Quanzhou City to lead the way. The so-called "helpers", which can now also be called "tour guides", stay at the city gates, specialize in leading the way for outsiders, tour the city of Quanzhou, and help employers who are not familiar with geography to deal with some trivial matters.

These two helpers are brothers, the eldest is called Liu Xiaoyi, and the elder is called Liu Xiaoer. They diligently led the entire convoy slowly in front of the donkey cart. The bustling crowd made the convoy move slowly, and Cheng Azhu was greedy for the scenery and consciously ordered the coachman to slow down, which made the two gangs walk very leisurely, and they chatted with the driver while leading the way.
