Li Nianfan settled down in the Xia Dynasty.
To him, this was a metropolis of the human race, where life was convenient and lively, and there were friendly and simple people everywhere. Not only Zhou Yunwu and Meng Junliang, but even the ministers were all humble. When they met on the road, they would stop and bow and call him Master Li. It was a very livable place.
The reason why he didn't stay in the Liyu Palace before was, first, it was under the sea, and he was not used to the water and soil, second, he felt awkward and uncomfortable, and third, there was no one to accompany him.
Humans are indeed social animals.
Li Nianfan did not deny that he was a mortal. The immortal style was too far away from him, and he still liked the fireworks of human beings.
Seeing that the master liked it, Zhou Yunwu waved his hand and directly gave him a big house in the city center. He was sensible and didn't give him maids and servants, but he did give him a lot of money. Even if Li Nianfan only stayed here occasionally, it would be an honor for the entire Xia Dynasty.
Li Nianfan accepted this house calmly and could afford it.
Ten days passed in this stay.
After five years of living in the mountains, this was the first time that Li Nianfan lived in a big city. He felt different immediately.
Today's Xia Dynasty is thriving. There are immortals who spread the Dharma and subdue demons, monks who recite scriptures and save the souls of the dead, and soldiers who patrol and guard against scoundrels. The city management is standardized. Compared with previous years, safety has been greatly improved.
This reminded Li Nianfan of the Tang Dynasty in Journey to the West. The human race back then should have been much more prosperous than it is today, but... since this is a world of myths, how could it have fallen to this point?
Li Nianfan couldn't help but start to think deeply.
Buddhism is gone, the Heavenly Palace is gone, and the underworld has just been born. For example, when he was telling the story, it seemed that many people, including the immortal cultivators, didn't remember their history.
From this, it can be seen that this should be many years after the myths he was familiar with, so many years that most people have forgotten that history.
"It is very likely that it is ten thousand years, or even several tens of thousands of years, after the "Journey to the West Sequel." Li Nianfan analyzed silently in his mind, "Buddhism is most likely destroyed by the demons. As for the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld... it is a bit strange that these two have problems. Also, do saints exist in this world? Nüwa, Yuanshi, Tongtian, etc."
For this reason, Li Nianfan had to re-organize the mythological stories he was familiar with. After all, if you want to get along, a familiar worldview is a very important foundation, so as not to make yourself like a novice, which will miss many opportunities. It's
always good to know more.
That day, early in the morning, there was a crisp sound of bells.
"Ding ding block!"
The bell rang three times, and the echo was crisp. The source of the sound was the Buddhist temple of the Xia Dynasty.
Not sure if it was an illusion, Li Nianfan felt that the whole city seemed to be getting lively, and the atmosphere was a little boiling.
The lively crowd began to rush in two directions, one was the temple, and the other was the city gate.
"What is Buddhism going to do?" Li Nianfan didn't pay much attention to the outside world, and had no idea what was going on, but it didn't stop him from joining in the fun, "Let's go, Xiao Daji, go take a look."
The bell should be just a preview, the official program has not started yet, and everyone is waiting.
"Brother Nianfan." A crisp call came from behind.
Nannan and Long'er, both wearing armor, walked over with big steps, making a "box box box" sound.
They were still too young, and the armor they wore was so disproportionate that it looked a little funny. There were two rows of soldiers following them, which made Li Nianfan laugh.
The armor was given by Dianjiangtang. Since Nannan agreed to teach kung fu, the generals of the entire Xia Dynasty were so happy that they wanted to worship her and directly give her the title of a great instructor.
This position was not small, and Nannan was extremely satisfied and happy.
Lin Hu immediately bowed to Li Nianfan and said respectfully, "Greetings, Master Lin, Miss Daji."
"Good morning, General Lin."
Li Nianfan nodded, and then asked Nannan, "Why did you come out today? Aren't you supposed to be teaching kung fu in the Dianjiang Hall?"
"It's so lively outside, so I just slipped out to take a look." Nannan pouted and continued, "And I just taught them the Lightning Five Whips, which is not easy, so let them practice it first."
After that, she and Long'er looked at the crowd curiously.
But her eyes lit up, "Tanghulu!"
The next moment, Nannan and Long'er immediately ran over and bought a string of Tanghulu each.
They were dressed in armor and their eyes were shining, which frightened the old man selling candied haws. He almost turned around and ran away. Suddenly
, there were two children in armor in the crowd, licking candied haws with great interest. This image was mismatched no matter how you looked at it, and Li Nianfan shook his head with a wry smile.
After a while, except for more and more people rushing over to join in the fun, there seemed to be no unusual signs.
Fortunately, soon, another acquaintance who knew the situation came.
"Junliang has met you, sir."
"Yes, Junliang. Good morning." Li Nianfan bowed and asked curiously, "Do you know what's going on here? Why is it so lively?"
Meng Junliang replied, "Sir, if the news is true, then the Buddhist disciples have arrived."
"Buddhist disciples?" Li Nianfan was slightly stunned and a little surprised. It was amazing. Even the Buddhist disciples showed up.
"Yes, I heard that this person is not only born kind-hearted, but also has the ability to influence others. Even tigers in the mountains can be inspired and stop hurting people. There was once a cultivator who thought he was gifted and wanted to take him in as a disciple and teach him the method of cultivation. However, he found that his qualifications were mediocre, and there was nothing special about him."
Meng Junliang paused and continued, "Later, he was discovered by Buddhism. Unexpectedly, this person learned Buddhism at a rapid pace. It is said that he can draw inferences from one example and perfect the existing Buddhism step by step. That's why he was directly named a son of Buddha."
"It seems that he is a genius with extraordinary natural talent." Li Nianfan nodded. He was surprised but not surprised.
There is no shortage of gifted people everywhere, not to mention that this is a world of cultivating immortals.
Nannan opened her mouth slightly, "Wow, so many people are waiting for this Buddhist son, so impressive."
"Buddhism is still very inspiring. It can often grasp the deepest things in people's hearts and make people willing to believe." Meng Junliang has obviously studied Buddhism.
Li Nianfan asked curiously, "Is the Xia Dynasty ready to accept Buddhism?"
"No objection, but I won't worship it." Meng Junliang shook his head, "This time the Buddhist son came, most likely to invite the king to participate in the Buddhist founding ceremony, but the king will definitely refuse, at most sending an envoy to show his appreciation."
Well, even the script is ready.
Li Nianfan's mind moved, and he didn't expect this scene to actually appear.
Zhou Yunwu's Xia Dynasty, Meng Junliang's Taoism, and Yue Tu's Buddhism are completely different concepts. They seem to blend together but are clearly distinct. Obviously, the appearance of these three is related to me, but now they are starting to plot against each other.
It's quite interesting.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "This is because the concept of Buddhism does not conflict with the Xia Dynasty, but if it is publicly supported, the nature will change completely, so this attitude of letting it go is adopted."
In fact, not only is there no conflict, but it is beneficial to the Xia Dynasty.
"Sir, you hit the nail on the head." Meng Junliang nodded. "Like the devil and Buddhism, one advocates revenge, doing whatever one wants, and competing for power, while the other advocates laying down the butcher knife, having no desires, and redeeming sins with kindness. This is a situation where there is no end to the end."
The concepts can be different, and in this case, it is fine to argue, but if the concepts are completely opposite, then there is no way to argue, and the only thing to do is to fight.
But at this time, a Buddhist chant came from afar.
Looking up, the first thing that appeared on the distant horizon was a shiny bald head, which was very eye-catching.
Then, the bald head gradually enlarged, and it turned out to be a monk wearing a cassock, very young.
He put his hands together, closed his eyes, stepped on a pair of bamboo shoes, and walked slowly.
No strange phenomenon, bad review!
"Squeak!"
The originally closed temple gate suddenly opened, and a row of monks came out, all with solemn faces and dignified appearances, standing at the gate to welcome.
When the Buddhist arrived, they all chanted: "Amitabha."
A civil servant who was hiding in the crowd and his two subordinates also appeared later, with a smile on their faces, "Welcome the Buddhist who has come from afar, it is a sin to welcome him from afar."
"Amitabha." The Buddhist just chanted the Buddha's name to the official and said nothing.
The civil servant just smiled, and then began to lead the way, "Haha, the king is already waiting in the hall, please follow me."
Nannan and Long'er had been looking forward to it for a long time, and suddenly felt a little disappointed, "Ah, that's it, so boring."
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "You think it's boring, but I feel very satisfied chasing stars."
"Let's go, it's better to train those soldiers,"
Meng Junliang watched the Buddhist son leave, and had no intention of showing up.
He invited Li Nianfan, "Sir, do you want to go to the hall to take a look?"
Li Nianfan nodded and smiled, "That's what I meant."
"Please."
When they arrived at the hall, Zhou Yunwu was sitting on the throne, entertaining the Buddhist son, and the two seemed to be talking happily.
"Sir, military advisor, you are here, please take a seat."
Zhou Yunwu greeted them warmly, and stood up from the throne and walked to the stage.
The Buddhist looked at Li Nianfan and Daji with surprise in his eyes. Although he looked like a mortal, he had an infinite aura around him, which made him think of only two words: extraordinary.
The same was true for the red sparrow. Although it was a sparrow, it gave people a sense of arrogance.
He couldn't help but ask, "I wonder who this young master is..."
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "My name is Li Nianfan, and I have met the Buddhist."
"You are Young Master Li!" The Buddhist stood up, put his hands together, and bowed respectfully to Li Nianfan, "Young Master Li, just call me Jiese."
Jiese?
Not to mention Li Nianfan, Zhou Yunwu and Meng Junliang were both stunned.
Obviously, few people know this Buddhist name of the Buddhist disciple, and most of them have hidden it on purpose. It's too inappropriate.
After all, a Buddhist disciple actually came up with this Buddhist name, which is really a bit hard to guard against.
Fortunately, everyone is polite, so there is no embarrassing situation where people can't help laughing.
Li Nianfan put his hands together and said, "So you are the master of quitting sex, nice to meet you."
