Emperor Qin

After the King of Qin unified the six countries, he once issued a "Recruitment Order", which means to ask the county guards in various places to recommend outstanding talents in their localities.

But it didn't work out well at first.

Recommending talents is a major investment, and the recommender has to bear joint and several responsibilities. For example, 30 years ago, Fan Ju, the Prime Minister of the Qin State, recommended the guard who saved him from danger as a general. As a result, the guard defected to the enemy, and Fan Ju lost his post and died of old age. old haunt.

Weiwei has gotten better in the past two years, but there are only two or three kittens, and everyone is very cautious.

Therefore, when the King of Qin received a letter from the governor of Shu, saying that a great sage from a foreign country admired the State of Qin and came from thousands of miles just to be a minister to the King of Qin, he felt very fulfilled.

He even showed Yan Zi the playbook, and felt that he could add to the world and save the four extremes.

Yan Zi showed a smile of approval for this, and didn't mean to remind him at all.

The Governor of Shu had no concept of geography. He only said that the sages came from the south of the Five Ridges and were unparalleled in wisdom, but he didn't elaborate on what kind of wisdom they were.

Therefore, King Qin took A Jiang to meet the wise man of the foreign race in the south-"Juluo" without any preparation.

That day, the sky was bright and the sun was clear, and the Buddha in a blue cassock came against the light. The gentle sunlight seemed to cover him with stars and descend lotus flowers.

Holding the simple tin rod in his hand, it only made him more pure and noble. His handsome and unprovoked face was covered with white gauze, and the faint smile on his lips was facing the direction of King Qin. He followed the etiquette of the Qin Dynasty respectfully and greeted the King of Qin. He paid homage.

However, such a respectful sage failed to get the words of courtesy that the Great Qin Emperor should have.

King Qin's expression was gloomy and deep, and when he "looked at each other" with him, it was as if there were two ends of light and darkness.

Yan Jiang calmly showed surprise, and poked King Qin: "Your Majesty?"

At this time, the originally respectful Buddha also heard this slight reminder, and for a while, a smile bloomed naturally on the corner of his lips, which was better than thousands of flowers.

Of course, it also made King Qin look even more sinister.

……

At the southern foot of the Himalayas 300 years ago, a prince thought hard about the way to lead all beings out of suffering. Under the tree, he understood the truth of the universe and the true meaning of life, and even came up with a way to get rid of suffering and happiness. Let the people in suffering reach the other side of peace, happiness and wisdom.

From then on, Buddhism was born and grew tenaciously under the oppression of Hinduism. The Buddhist theory of equality of all living beings is simply in the face of Hinduism's caste theory that "people are born into four classes".

But 300 years later, Buddhism met a great man who could achieve mutual success with him, King Ashoka.

The king who killed India so bloody in the first half of his life unified the whole of India, and he tried to use Buddhism to unify Indian thought. For this reason, he not only built 84000 Buddha bone stupas, but also sent his eldest son to Sri Lanka to preach , choose his second son who was born on "the day when the [-] pagodas were erected" as the heir.

When Yan Jiang came to India, it coincided with the time when Ashoka believed in Buddhism at night and preached Buddhism.

At that time, Yan Jiang met the dying Prince Gu Nara who was framed and lost his eyes. He didn't want to use his own box of medicine to save him. If you win, you don't want to pay it back. You fly in the air and you don't fall down.

At that time, Yan Jiang loved birds too much, so he gave the prince the last expired antibiotic, and curing the prince also gave His Majesty the source of future "Wang Negative Sword" materials.

Both parties are satisfied.

But Yan Jiang later had a fondness for Gu Naluo. This is a beautiful young man who is gentle and kind to the extreme. After being framed by his stepmother and losing his eyes, his heart became more pure. Like an older brother, he will pass on the Dharma to the wider world.

So the two got along more and more like a spring breeze, and of course, it also aroused a lot of dissatisfaction from His Majesty.

His Majesty almost broke up with Yan Jiang because of this.

The prince also learned from Yan Jiang that there is still a holy land in the east, with a brilliant civilization, not inferior to the Maurya Dynasty.

So Gu Naluo planned to go east at the same time as Yan Jiang to spread the true law.

How could Yan Jiang agree to this kind of thing? He promised King Ashoka the night before that he would bring his son to bring the Buddha's relics and so on.

After all, cheating king, he is a professional.

But Yan Jiang really didn't expect that there was a possibility of seeing Gu Nara again.

This unparalleled prince was severely injured after his eyes were gouged out, and his body was very weak and sickly. Central Plains, that is really blessed by the Buddha.

You know, even in the heyday of Yan Jiang, he was not sure that he could break out from the tropical rainforest of Myanmar and the [-] mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Gunara actually did it.

Although it has been a long time, it really shows that this prince is extraordinary. He did not inherit the Maurya Dynasty, and King Ashoka was really at a loss.

This time when old friends met, both Yan Jiang and Gu Naluo agreed tacitly not to deceive the latter, but only talked about what happened after Yan Jiang left the Maurya Dynasty. Because of the conflict with Da Xia, Gu Naluo could not follow along When Yan Jiang went to the north to preach, he remembered the road of "Shu body poison" proposed by Yan Jiang.

In the third year after Yan Jiang left, King Ashoka passed away, and Gunnara gave up the throne to his eldest son Sanbaladi. preach.

Because of the initial hostility and obstacles of the local indigenous people, their progress was extremely slow, and the torrential and difficult rivers of the Nu River and the Lancang River made communication in Yunnan more difficult. Therefore, they did not enter the country from Yelang until last year. Shu, began to preach in Shu, and learned oriental languages.

This is the Silk Road to the south!

Yan Jiang squeezed Gu Naluo's paw, while making up his thoughts about him these years, and even took out the bracelet that the latter gave him back then, coaxing him to tell what he had seen and heard, and sketching out the path along the way in his mind.

Gu Naluo naturally spoke with all his heart, he also knew that the east was rich and prosperous, and he really wanted to see Buddhism spread widely in the east. The two reunited after a long absence, and under the excitement, he completely regarded the king of Qin as non-existent.

But the king of Qin is the king of Qin after all. After being shocked for a few breaths, his thoughts turned and he immediately settled down. Back then, A Jiang regarded Buddhism as poison and fled after hearing it. Obviously, what do you want to do again?

After thinking about this, finally, King Qin raised his dark eyebrows, stretched out his big hand, and pulled Yan Zi's hands away, but he didn't reprimand him, he just calmly said to the blind Buddha on the side: "Since my wife trusts you so much, I will May I allow you to build temples and teach the Dharma..."

Before he could speak, "My Wife" was already pinching his palm desperately, with a sharp expression on her face.

Qin Wang smiled confidently, and he was indeed deceitful. He said that A Jiang ran away as soon as he heard the preaching, and this must be useful.

Gu Naluo did not show joy because of this, but frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice, "wife?"

The King of Qin laughed lightly: "The envoy is tired after a long journey, so he should take a rest earlier and talk about it another day."

He waved his hand, and a waiter took him away.

But when he saw the Buddha walking away, Yan Jiang's expression became serious, and he immediately pressed the Lord of Great Qin onto the beam with a fierce and cruel expression.

Qin Wang bent his lips, his eyes were shining, and he leaned his head leisurely and kissed his lips.

His family, Jiang, was still so worried about him.
