Upper portion; The wind and waves are calm and prosperous Chapter 57 The Journey to Muzhou

The government of the Lotus State attaches great importance to the first Lotus Cultural Festival in Sebias and decides to send a high-level delegation to Sebias to participate in the cultural festival activities. State Assistant Dongfang Sheng served as the head of the delegation, and the Chinese Ambassador to Sebias served as the deputy head of the delegation, accompanied by relevant leaders from the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Literary and art workers from all walks of life, well-known literary and artistic groups, cultural masters, and performing artists from all walks of life in Lianguo participated in the event. The delegation arrived in Yadba, the capital of Sebias, two days ahead of schedule. Senior officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture of Sebias greeted him at the airport.

Liang and the saint did not set off with the group, he and the president of Baikal agreed that he and the saint would be on time when the cultural festival opened.

In the past few days, Liang Qiangping took the saint to drive the "Mir" spaceship to travel all over the north and south of the Lotus Kingdom. They visited famous mountains and ancient temples, visited ancient cities and temples, and were amazed everywhere they went! The Lotus civilization is brilliant, a great miracle of mankind!

Yadba, the capital of Sebias. In recent days, the people of the capital have decorated the whole city with a colorful lotus style.

Stations, docks, and intersections are covered with placards that read "Welcome to Lotus Country". The streets of the city center are lined with the Lotus national flag. Landmark buildings such as the Parliament Building, the Government Administration Building, the Muzhou Building, and the Grand Council Building are hung with Lotus Kwok Fook and red lanterns.

The citizens sang and danced, and some of them pasted the small national flag of the Lotus Kingdom on their foreheads and faces. The whole "novelty flower" blooms with bright red light.

The opening ceremony of the first Lianguo Cultural Festival was held at 10 a.m. local time on May 24 at the square of the Government Administration Building. The square has long been decorated with flowers and beaming.

The event rostrum was set up in front of the Government Administration Building. There are six seats on the left side of the stage. President Baikal, State Assistant to the People's Republic of China, Dongfang Sheng, Director General of the Cultural Organization of the Economic and Star Joint Agency, and Minister of Culture and Host of the Event of Sebias each sat one, and the remaining two were reserved for VIP seats.

On the front right side is the podium. Three rows of tables and chairs were arranged under the rostrum for the senior officials and important guests attending the event. On either side of the rostrum are two-storey shelves, on which a large screen is installed. The left one is in lotus script, and the right one is in Sebias, both of which broadcast "Warmly celebrate the success of the first Lotus Cultural Festival in Sebias".

There is a make-up booth under the screen on the left for the performers to make-up temporarily. An area is marked in front of the screen on the right for media reporters to use for interviews.

In the center of the square is a large circular stage with seats placed around it for the representatives of all parties participating in the opening ceremony to be seated.

President Baikal did not plan to attend the opening ceremony of the event. But he personally came to the door and invited Liang Qiangping and the Holy Maiden to come to the event. In addition, the Lianguo government sent a high-level delegation to participate. Therefore, he decided to attend the opening ceremony in person and give a keynote speech.

The Lianguo delegation was invited to attend the opening ceremony. The head of the regiment, Dongfang Sheng, will read out the congratulatory message of Commander Huang Renzheng.

Approaching ten o'clock, the square was crowded with people, and it was very lively. Well-known media reporters at home and abroad have gone to interview and report.

President Baikal is the current rotating chairman of the Muzhou Alliance, and he also invited the opening ceremony of the festival to the opening ceremony of the festival, which was attended by the Director General of the Cultural Organization of the Economic and Satellite Joint Agency, Mr. Sbrown, and relevant people from the cultural circles of the member countries of the Muksar Alliance. It aims to develop friendly relations with Lotus and exchange and learn the culture of Lotus Kingdom.

The seats around the large circular stage were already full. Most of them were dark-skinned and dressed in fancy dress. Some of them are dressed in saudis, some are wearing flower hats, and they are waving the small national flags of the two countries.

The area around the square was also full of people, who stopped to watch. Most of them are business tourists from all over the world who come to Sebias for business or pleasure.

The opening ceremony was presided over by the Minister of Culture of Sebias. The representatives of all parties under the rostrum were already in place, and President Baikal stepped onto the rostrum, dressed in a lotus costume, with a heroic posture and a radiant spirit.

The on-site personnel applauded.

The opening ceremony was carried out according to the process. President Baikal, however, was frowning. From time to time, he looked up at the sky. The sky was clear, and there was nothing but a few white clouds. He was full of doubts, why didn't the Chinese man and the saint come yet? Could it be that he is just talking, and he will not come! He whispered to Dongfang Sheng, who was sitting next to him, would the Chinese man really come?

Dongfang Sheng whispered to him that the Chinese man is a trustworthy person, and he will definitely come if he agrees!

President Baikal will be skeptical, and he will give a keynote speech, followed by a congratulatory message by Director General Sbron, followed by Dongfang Sheng reading a congratulatory message from Orthodox Hwang In-jun.

The on-site personnel applauded continuously. Next, the performers of the Lotus Dragon and Lion Dance Performance Team, which will perform on stage, have been preparing off the stage.

President Baikal has once again been invited to the podium, where he will open the first Lotus Cultural Festival. For the arrival of this moment, the people of the two countries have done a lot of hard work, and the results are not easy to come by!

The audience was all watching, waiting for President Baikal to make an announcement. Media photographers have turned their lenses on him. Baikal kept looking up at the sky.

The audience is very curious, why does Mr. President always like to look at the sky today, is it possible that God has a command? They also looked up at the sky curiously.

The excited Saint Sect believers couldn't help but shout loudly to the sky: "God forbid! God forbid! ”

Baikal pointed into the microphone and announced loudly: "The first Lotus Cultural Festival in Sebias opens!" The voice was loud, like a loud thunder, and it went straight into the sky.

The audience was thrilled and applauded.

Suddenly, the ceremonial flowers around the stage were released and exploded in mid-air. Subsequently, the dragon and lion dance performance team took the stage, beating gongs and drums, and showed their style.

The opening ceremony was broadcast live to the world on Sebias National Television. The webcast has gone all out.

Wait for the fireworks to fall in the air. Suddenly, a shout came from above: "The sons and daughters of China are here!" ”

President Baikal kept staring at the sky, and when he heard the shouts coming from high in the sky, he was very excited, it must be a Chinese man who is coming in his "Mir" spacecraft!

The audience suddenly heard an inexplicable shout from the sky, and they all looked up at the sky. Most of them couldn't understand the lotus script, and they didn't know what the heavenly people were shouting.

President Baikal excitedly shouted into the microphone: "It's the superhero Chinese boy who is here, the messenger of God, they really came!" He shouted in the Sebias language.

When Sebias TV promoted the opening ceremony, it was mentioned that the Chinese boys' association would come to attend the opening ceremony. As soon as the news was announced, it aroused great concern among the people of Sebias. Although they don't know what kind of god the Chinese man is, they know by listening to his name that his origin is definitely not small!

The people of the Lotus Kingdom who work or travel in Sebias, as well as people from other countries, came to the city after hearing the news that the Chinese men were coming to attend the opening ceremony of the cultural festival. They gathered around the square and stopped to watch. However, the Chinese man has not been seen for a long time! I thought I was deceived by Sebias TV, what a Chinese man! Can they please too?

At that time, a small spaceship in the sky circled around the square, and then slowly landed in the center of the stage, which was Liang Qiangping's "Mir" spacecraft.

On the stage, the dragon and lion dance team immediately stopped and stood around the stage.

Representatives of all parties seated in the audience stood up one after another. The photographer focused his lens on the Mir spacecraft.

The crowd wondered, could it really be that God had sent a messenger?

The Mir spacecraft landed smoothly in the center of the stage. At this moment, all the people present were silent. They stared at the spaceship with wide eyes, but they wanted to see what kind of god was sitting inside.

President Baikal and State Assistant to Dongfang Sheng took to the stage.

The hatch of the Mir spacecraft slowly opened, revealing a man and a woman sitting inside. The man sitting in the back seat is a Chinese man. The woman sat in the front seat, and it was the demon slaying fairy. The two slowly walked out of the spaceship holding hands and waved to everyone.

The audience was dumbfounded, it was really an immortal! How can there be such a beautiful talent in the world!

Baikal was full of joy, stepped forward and took their hands, and with great excitement, he smiled and said: "The messenger sent by God, the messenger sent by God, finally I have come to you!" ”

Dongfang Sheng came forward to translate.

Liang Qiangping listened to the translation and said with a smile: "Mr. President, congratulations!" Congratulate! ”

Liang Qiangping had already driven the "Mir" spacecraft to the skies over Yadba in advance. All the way, he watched live TV. He did not want to come down so early, because he did not like the lively scene, and second, he was worried that President Baikal would invite him to speak. He was not good at coping with this, so he waited until President Baikal announced the opening before he landed the spacecraft.

President Baikal led the two of them to the VIP seat on the rostrum next to Dongfang Sheng, and then walked to the podium and said: "I would like to solemnly introduce to you that these two are the Chinese men and saints from the fraternal country of Lotus who I personally visited and invited to attend the opening ceremony. ”

There was a round of applause at the scene, which lasted for a long time.

Dongfang Sheng translated for Liang Qiangping and the Holy Maiden. The two listened to the translation and laughed at each other.

President Baikal briefly introduced the miraculous deeds of Liang Qiangping and the saint, explained the magic of the sixteen-character mental method to everyone, and asked the staff to input the words into the big screen to play. It is said that this is the connotation of the Lotus culture, and it should be taken as the core content of this Lotus Culture Festival for in-depth study and exchange.

All eyes were on the big screen. They don't quite understand the connotation of the original lotus text, but the Sabiasi translation is like God's will, and they can understand it at a glance. However, who could believe that there is magic in this word? President Baikal could not explain it, so he had to leave this difficult problem to Liang Qiangping to solve.

Liang Qiangping thought that he still couldn't hide, so he just said a few words. He looked at the Holy Maiden, who nodded at him.

In the warm applause, Liang Qiangping stepped onto the podium. Fortunately, he was prepared in advance, and if he really had to speak, he would speak according to the prepared ideas.

The scene fell silent.

Liang Qiangping first thanked President Baikal for his kind invitation to him and the Holy Maiden, and thanked everyone for their warm welcome, and congratulated the first Lotus Country Cultural Festival on its complete success!

After listening to the translation, the applause rang out again.

Liang turned his head and looked at the big screen on the left. On the screen, the sixteen-character mental method he had realized was playing. He pointed to the text on it and said, "This sixteen-character mental method was obtained by me in an epiphany. Originally, it was just used to teach my two disciples the principles of how to deal with people and to encourage them. If you want to say that it has any magical power, it depends on personal cultivation. If every man has a merciful heart and does good all his life; Get rid of bad habits, don't covet delusions; Treat each other with respect and courtesy; Concentrate on cultivating virtue and seek benefits for the people. Human society will be full of positive energy, people will live in harmony, and life will be full of sunshine and laughter. Although Liang Qiangping realized the truth, he didn't know how to explain the mystery clearly.

When everyone heard this, they were deeply moved. The culture of the Lotus Kingdom is full of benevolence and friendliness, respecting etiquette and virtue, and having the world in mind and the blessings of mankind!

Liang Qiangping finally said: "As long as everyone has a kind heart and does more good deeds, the world will be better and better!" ”

President Baikal led the way in applause. Liang Qiangping's speech just now made him deeply aware and admired him even more!

On the stage, the dragon and lion dance troupe continued to dance around the "Mir" spacecraft. After the dragon and lion dance, the choir took the stage to sing.

The choir is composed of young students from Sebias, half male and half female, and they sing "Ode to the Lotus Country" in lotus script, which is magnificent and passionate.

At the end of the chorus, the Sebias Acrobatic Troupe took the stage with two golden lions. The two male lions had a red wreath around their necks, and they were strong and powerful.

Liang Qiangping saw that the male lion was about the same size as the male lion on the Holy Maiden Island, but his waist was longer.

The acrobatic troupe technicians direct two male lions to perform difficult movements. The male lions were absolutely amazing, and the technicians instructed them to do something, and they were fearless, as if they could understand human speech!

The saint also deeply admired the performance of the acrobatic troupe, everything has spirituality, as long as you manage it carefully, rotten wood can also be refined into gold!

After a while, the two lions lay side by side on either side of the Mir spacecraft.

The technicians tried their best to summon them, but the two lions just stood still, seemingly becoming the left and right protectors of the spaceship, firmly guarding the spaceship.

The audience was amazed, could the "Mir" spacecraft have magical powers that captivated the two lions? They set their eyes on Liang Qiangping and the saintess seated on the rostrum.

The head of the acrobatic troupe suddenly felt strange, the two male lions were domesticated by the technician since childhood, and never disobeyed the technician's instructions, what happened today? On such an important occasion, you can't smash the field! He hurriedly ran to the rostrum to report to President Baikal and asked for instructions on how to deal with it.

Baikal was also shocked that the lion has never been the same thing since ancient times, the symbol of the country. Could it be that the "Mir" spacecraft is really a messenger sent by God to save mankind? His eyes looked at Liang Qiangping and the holy woman in surprise. Some time ago, when I visited the Chinese man, I heard him talk about the saint's harp to summon bees, butterflies and other animals, is this really the case?

Dongfang Sheng also felt strange, he had been running around in Muzhou countries for many years and had never seen such a thing. He asked Liang Qiangping curiously: "Big hero, is there something in your spaceship that lions particularly like?" Otherwise, how could they stay under the spaceship? ”

Liang Qiangping thought for a while and said, "There was nothing in the spaceship, just the Holy Maiden's piano, and nothing else." ”

Dongfang Sheng asked, "What kind of piano is it?" ”

Liang Qiangping responded: "Demon Suppression Qin, the beloved thing of the Holy Maiden." ”

Baikal is coming over and asking them what is the matter?

Dongfang Sheng replied: "Mr. President, it may be that there is a holy woman's piano in the spaceship, and the lion will not leave when he smells the piano." ”

Baikal asked: "What kind of piano can have this magic?" ”

Dongfang Sheng replied: "Demon Suppression." ”

On that day, when Liang Qiangping talked about Song Xi and the holy woman in the pavilion to write poems and touch the qin, Dongfang Sheng heard it very clearly. The Holy Maiden's Demon Suppression Lyre is definitely extraordinary, otherwise how could she summon bees, butterflies, pigeons, egrets and other animals? Baikal listened to the translated words, so he could not really understand what Liang was saying.

The three of them set their sights on the Holy Maiden. Liang Qiangping asked softly, "Everyone thinks that it was your Demon Suppression Qin that attracted the lion, have you ever done this before?" ”

The saint nodded slightly.

The three of them were overjoyed. Baikal said: "So what now? ”

Dongfang Sheng translated it to Liang Qiangping. Liang Qiangping asked the holy woman, "It seems that I have to ask you to come forward to appease those two male lions." ”

The saint nodded and smiled at him.

The audience was a little anxious, and there was a restless riot.

Some local residents even ran to the vicinity of the lion to bow down and pray for blessings. They were all stopped by the technicians of the acrobatic troupe to prevent the enraged lion from being attacked. The head of the acrobatic troupe hurriedly ran back to the stage to control the situation.

Dongfang Sheng translated Liang Qiangping's words to the saint to Baikal. After Baikal listened, he turned his worries into peace, and Liang Qiangping said that the saint could stroke the qin and command the animals, but he wanted to see if he really had the ability? He pleaded with the Holy Maiden to come forward and surrender the two lions.

Liang Qiangping led the saint to the stage. Dongfang Sheng instructed them to be more careful not to be injured by lions.

Baikal walked up to the podium and shouted into the microphone to reassure the audience and inform the Holy Maiden that she would surrender the lion to Fuqin.

The audience fell silent. The president had to listen to what he had to say, so he wanted to see what the holy woman was capable of subduing the lion.

Liang Qiangping walked down the rostrum with the saint in his arms, and he whispered to the saint girl: "You are ready, I will send you to the spaceship." ”

The saint nodded. Liang Qiangping hugged the waist of the saint with his right hand, meditated on the mental method, used the cosmic energy, glared at his feet, jumped into the air with the saint, and went straight to the spaceship.

The audience was full of surprise, they could actually fly? My God! It must be an angel you sent!

Liang Qiangping hugged the saint and landed steadily on the spaceship. The two male lions were frightened, flipped up and roared at them.

Liang Qiangping opened the hatch and took out the Demon Suppression Qin. The saint took the demon slaying harp and gently placed it on top of her legs.

The two lions were still eyeing the two of them, as if they were going to jump on the ship and bite them.

The top of the ship is just over two meters above the ground, making it easy for a lion to jump on.

Liang Qiangping had already condensed the cosmic energy in his hands, and if they forcibly jumped up, he would slap them down with one palm.

The saint plucked the strings gently, and the sound was soft and delicate, as if she was caressing the lion's hair.

The two lions listened to the sound of the piano, looked at each other for a while, and then craned their necks to sniff at the spaceship.

Liang waved his hand at the two lions. The two lions stuck out their tongues and stopped roaring at them.

The saint sped up the rhythm and was hearty, seemingly taking the lion to gallop and play on the grassland, frolicking passionately.

The two lions were eager to try, rolling in place, slapping each other's heads, and making a self-respecting appearance, neither of whom was convinced.

The audience was stunned, and they couldn't imagine that the two lions really listened to the words of the saint and became honest!

Baikal's eyes straightened, the saint really has magical powers, it seems that what the Chinese man said is true! To be able to make friends with them is really a blessing for three lives!

The saint suddenly turned to a steep tune, and her right hand swung out against the strings, and a sharp sound of the piano came in the direction of her right hand.

The two lions got up and looked in the direction from which the sound of the harp had come.

After a while, I saw a flock of milky white pigeons flying in flocks, circling and flying around the square.

Where do the pigeons come from? The photographers hurriedly turned their lenses to catch pigeons.

The Holy Maiden's piano became faster and faster, as if she was dancing vigorously, and she could not stop at all.

The more and more pigeons gathered, flying densely in the air, dazzling to see.

The audience stood up and looked up at the flock of pigeons overhead.

The two lions raised their heads and roared twice at the pigeons. The flock of pigeons immediately changed formation, no longer circling around the square, flying in a team, shuttling back and forth above the stage.

The saint changes the rhythm, long and short, heavy and light, seemingly waving calligraphy, writing the lotus country.

The two lions roared twice more at the pigeons. The flock of pigeons immediately gathered into a flock, and then slowly dispersed, forming a line of Lotus country characters in the air, faintly visible: Long live the friendship of Lotus Harmony!

The audience was already boiling.

Baikal pointed into the microphone and shouted in Lianwen and Sebiasven: "Long live Lianmu friendship!" Long live the Lotus Friendship! ”

The saint pressed the strings lightly and took the piano.

Liang took out a tissue to wipe her sweat. The saint smiled slightly.

The flock of pigeons dispersed and the sky fell silent again. The two male lions crouched on the ground on their hind legs and stared up at the holy woman.

Baikal stood on the podium speechless for a long time.

The acrobatic troupe technicians led the two lions off the stage. The two lions looked at the saint reluctantly. The saint waved at them before they would leave.

The audience turned their attention to the Holy Maiden. At this moment, she is the goddess in everyone's hearts. God may not be able to summon a flock of pigeons, she can!

Sbrown, Director General of the Cultural Organization of the Economic Star Joint Agency, and the representatives of the member countries of the Alliance attended the event in awe and praised the two of them.

Representatives of the member states of the Alliance have expressed their desire to invite them to visit their countries, and they have expressed their willingness to invite them to Baikal, the rotating chairman of the Alliance.

Baikal expressed his agreement and took this opportunity to develop friendly relations and jointly promote the peaceful development of mankind.

Liang Qiangping helped the saint to get off the spaceship. The audience waved and cheered, and some of the Holy Sect believers rushed to the stage and bowed around them, even more excited and joyful than seeing God!

Baikal shouted into the microphone to restore order to the scene.

Liang Qiangping led the saint back to the rostrum. Director General Si Brown stepped forward, shook Liang Qiangping's hand, and said excitedly: "Mr. Chinese Boy, you are amazing! The cause of peace and development of mankind needs you so much! His blue eyes stared directly at Liang Qiangping, full of admiration and admiration.

Dongfang Sheng came forward to be a translator, he was intelligent, erudite, and fluent in many Chinese. He and Sbrown have been good friends for many years. Si Brown is a native of Fuguo, and he uses the words of Fu language and Liang Qiangping.

Liang Qiangping listened to the translation and expressed his deep admiration for Dongfang Sheng, how could he speak any language? It's amazing! He replied to Si Brown: "Mr. Si Brown, our people in Lotus Country are peace-loving nations, and we are willing to make friends with all peace-loving people and jointly promote the peaceful development of mankind. ”

After listening to the translation, Sbrown smiled and said, "Okay! I like the friendliness of your people in the Lotus Kingdom. We, the people of Fuguo, are also peace-loving, and we are good friends! ”

Baikal also came over and conveyed to Liang the willingness of the representatives of the other member countries of the alliance to invite them to visit various countries. After listening to Baikal's relays to Liang Rangping about the representatives of the other member countries of the Harmony Alliance, Sbrown immediately decided to invite Liang Rangping and the holy woman to visit Fuguo.

Liang accepted their kind invitation and said that he would definitely visit when the time was convenient.

The five of them sat back on the left side of the rostrum and continued to watch the theatrical performance.

The first Lotus Cultural Festival in Sebias lasted for half a month. The delegation will visit a number of important cities in Sebias to carry out cultural exchanges, theatrical performances, calligraphy and painting exhibitions and other activities.

Liang Qiangping and the saint did not follow the delegation. After the opening ceremony, they stayed overnight in Adaba. In the evening, Liang Qiangping and officials from the agricultural department of Sebias discussed investment cooperation in ecological farms. Early the next morning, Liang Qiangping took the saint to visit other countries in Muzhou.

They followed the eastern coast of the Muzhou continent, starting from Qinsori, passing through Chennia and Shuyang Maya to Huanan. Then from the western coast of Pennaya, Mosla, and Zhiganda all the way north to Yanbei. Finally, return to the Central Zhongguo Grassland, where a Hundred Beasts Concert will be held.

The member states of the Alliance have introduced supra-national treatment for the two of them, and no visas are required for entry and exit.

The Muzhou savannah is vast, rich in species and charming in scenery.

In addition to visiting local government officials, the two are more likely to visit local tourist attractions. They went to the Vobia steppe to see lions, and went to Yanbei Nitong River to play rafting. At this time, the rainy season is coming, and the grassland is full of life, and nature is thriving.

The local population is very fond of wild animals and considers them their friends.

The saint played the piano and music on the Zhongguo grassland, held a hundred beast concerts, and summoned almost all the wild animals on the grassland to participate.

The scene was shocking, like a meeting of hundreds of millions of troops. And those who flew in the sky, and those who ran on the earth, and those who swam in the rivers, were gathered together. At this moment, there is no hunger, no fear, no killing, only friendliness and joy.

The two rode on the back of an elephant and headed south along the Zhongguo River. The saint stroked the harp, and the animals along the way heard the sound, and frolicked in groups with the elephants.

Local residents rushed to watch, they couldn't believe their eyes, it felt like a dream. I dreamed of angels playing in the water by the river, chasing on the grassland, enjoying the shade under the big trees, and playing music on the clouds......
