"You are indeed a madman..."
Lowering her head slightly, Xiaoqing didn't let anyone see her expression at the moment.
"I knew you were a lunatic from the time you unscrupulously preached the Dao to a group of monsters."
Throughout the ages, what the rulers of every dynasty have pursued is that their dynasty can continue for a longer period of time.
Whether it is combating corruption or providing disaster relief and fending off enemies, they are all based on this fundamental purpose.
However, what Pei Wende did was to "awaken" the people at the lowest level and let them take the initiative to think and pursue their own future.
From a broad perspective, this is undoubtedly the correct approach.
Every citizen is thinking about and pursuing their own future, which will naturally make the dynasty more vigorous.
But the problem is that this conflicts with the fundamental purpose of the dynastic rulers.
The "awakened" people will actively pursue a better future instead of being satisfied with three meals a day.
So when one day, the future expected by the people conflicts with the rights of the dynastic rulers, what choice should they make?
There is no doubt that when a group of lambs learn to use their horns to seek the future, they will naturally no longer wait until the butcher's knife falls before rising up to resist, as they did in the past.
Either change with the trend, or overturn and start over...
"How can it be called a 'Buddha Kingdom on Earth' if it is not a country where 'everyone is like a dragon'?"
Pei Wende smiled and denied Xiao Qing's remarks. Naturally, Pei Wende knew how "rebellious" his words were.
To put it bluntly, in this era dominated by "ignorant people", once Pei Wende's words spread, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will not be able to wait until the end of the dynasty according to the historical cycle, and the country's name will be changed.
"You obviously know everything, but you are unwilling to do anything. In this regard, you are not as good as your senior brother."
When Xiao Qing raised her head again, the look in her eyes had completely faded, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking now.
"So he is the Holy Buddha and the little Sakyamuni, and I am just a wandering monk."
Smiling as always, Pei Wende answered very calmly.
"I don't mind helping people I can help within my ability."
"But the proposition of 'Buddha Kingdom on Earth' is far beyond my ability. It's not something I can do if I know it."
"You, Master, Hui Ji, Chu Sheng, Gu Changfeng, the Zou family and his daughter..."
“These talents are the most important thing in my mind and the driving force that supports me to this point.”
"Perhaps only when you all leave me one day can I risk death to help my senior brother realize his grand dream of a 'Buddha Kingdom on Earth'!"
"I... am just a mortal after all."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
At the foot of Jinshan Temple, on a fishing boat in Longyou Lake.
"You decided not to go up the mountain?"
The graceful red fox was holding the boat and rowing, and asked in a curious tone.
Behind Red Fox, Hui Ji's figure was sitting cross-legged in the fishing boat, letting the boat rock, but she remained motionless.
"Now that Wen De's intention has been determined, what's the point of going up the mountain again?"
Slowly opening her eyes, Hui Ji's voice revealed a strong sense of tiredness and weakness.
Because the current Huiji is not the counterpart of Zexin Temple, but his true body.
Even after more than a year of training, his injuries from the Dragon Girl Bodhisattva's resentment still hadn't healed.
"That's just a one-sided statement from you. Maybe you should meet your junior brother in person."
It must be explained here that although the Yingshen and the ontology come from the same source, they can already be regarded as different individuals from the moment they are separated.
The Ying Shen inherited the thoughts and memories from the split of the body, and gained some miraculous abilities because of giving up the physical body.
However, as a price, Ying Shen's character and way of thinking will forever be solidified at the moment of division, becoming an individual that can never "grow" again.
If you are a child, you will always be a child; if you are an old man, you will always be an old man...
On the other hand, you can grow further by constantly being exposed to new things, and your concepts will change over time.
The self ten years ago and the self ten years from now will definitely have different views on the same thing.
This difference has become the biggest difference between the body and the ontology, and this difference will further widen as time goes by.
And this is also the reason why Yingshen is Yingshen, not a clone.
The corresponding body is only an entity manifested by a certain thought of the ontology at a certain moment, and does not have the ability to share thinking and memory with the ontology.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that Ying Shen is usually used to guard certain seals or guard certain secret treasures.
"Meet me? In my current state?"
Forced out a smile, Hui Ji's face was full of self-mockery.
"I was severely injured by the True Dragon's Resentment, and was attacked by 'Tian Zhong' and 'Huang Chao' together in Yangzhou. Now I can't even walk a few steps without gasping for air."
"If we go to Wende at this time, wouldn't that be causing trouble for him?"
Huiji realized that Pei Wende had already had enough troubles, and it would be a little less trouble if she could have less troubles now.
[Besides, Jinshan Temple still has a big problem waiting for Wende to deal with. 】
Turning her eyes calmly, Hui Ji did not say what she was thinking.
Although Hui Ji is Pei Wende's senior brother, he will still take the initiative to avoid suspicion when certain things are involved.
"So, where should we go next?"
He didn't question Hui Ji's choice at all. Chihu just asked this question with great interest, just like every time in the past, which was destined to be meaningless.
Since the Weishan Fox Clan was wiped out, the lonely Red Fox has no real place to stay.
She followed Huiji wherever he went. This became a habit that Chihu had developed over the years.
Red Fox enjoys this life of traveling and adventure with Huiji more than the next destination.
"Go back to Chang'an!"
Huiji, who had already made a plan in her heart, said this.
"It's been almost two years since I left Chang'an."
"A few days ago, the eminent monk Wu Zhen at the border fortress delivered good news, saying that a powerful general had emerged from Hexi and was able to conquer many states in Hexi by himself."
"This is an excellent opportunity for Datang Yixue to completely regain the Hexi Corridor after decades of shame."
"Presumably those evil foreigners will not sit back and watch as our government regains the Hexi Corridor and reopens the Silk Road..."
At this point, Hui Ji's expression suddenly paused again, and then she said hesitantly.
"And based on my current injury, I estimate that I can only recover quickly if I return to Chang'an."
"Since the 'Secrets of Empress Wu' and the 'Truth of Buddha's Bones' are recorded in the Qintian Book, it must also contain secret treasures that can reshape the golden body and recreate the Dharma."
