"Turn curves into straight lines, make them square and regular, word by word."
"It is very different from Taishi's writings. It weakens the iconography and strengthens the meaning. It takes some of the subtleties of Cheng Miao's book and can even serve as a model."
Li Si had also stepped forward and took a close look at the words written by Marquis Wu Zhen on the paper.
These texts are not Taishi texts.
I can still recognize it at a glance as it comes from the Taoist "Tao Te" scripture.
Compared with the round body of Taishi Zhouwen, there is a little more squareness and regularity, the font has edges and corners, and it also has a touch of grandeur.
Just like a person who is neatly dressed, and like a house that is neatly built, it feels like that.
water!
This character can still be written like this!
wonderful!
As Cheng Miao said, you deserve a big win!
"This word...big lottery!"
Taishi's order Hu Wujing, Chefu's order Zhao Gao and others also came close to observe.
Apart from the honor of Marquis Che of Wuzhenhou, to be fair, it is indeed a good idea to transform Taishi Zhouwen into this form. It can be seen that... Marquis Wuzhen has already planned it.
Moreover, the words "Guan Shang Shan Ruo Shui" are all beautiful.
Round font?
Block text?
There is a sense of bringing forth the new from the old.
It also meets the king’s requirements for writing.
It doesn’t lose its beauty either.
Writing like "Wuzhenhou" is completely feasible.
Everyone came close to watch and learn from each other. After a few breaths, they all bowed in admiration.
"Haha, you don't need to praise me like this. I just did it casually. I just think it's really good to write like this. The font has both edges and corners, and it's round. It accommodates yin and yang, and it can be a great way."
"These words can be used as a reference for you and others, and they do not necessarily have to follow the style of my words."
Although I know that these people are somewhat complimentary in their words, but... the writing I have ended up with is indeed qualified to be made into a standard writing.
The next thing is left to them.
"The character Wu Zhenhou can be the source of our writing reform."
"Just stay here in the academy."
As the high priest of the academy and a court lieutenant, Li Si took the piece of paper in his hand and took a closer look. He saw that what Wu Zhenhou had written was simple and detailed. In fact, there were already established rules in it.
There is a great reference.
Not surprisingly, the next text reform will focus on square text.
This is fine.
Li Si thought this kind of writing was very appropriate.
With the reference, the progress of the text reform can be accelerated, and the king will be satisfied. After all, it was Wu Zhenhou who led them to do this.
"Um."
If this word is left in the academy, it will naturally mean nothing.
Zhou Qing nodded and went to other areas of the Self-Study Hall to check the progress of the tasks in each area. It was everyone's credit to finish it as early as one day.
******
The sun was shining brightly in the clear sky, and in midsummer, the entire Guanzhong land was sweltering with heat. Walking along the main road paved with water and stone made it even more scorching.
It’s good to say good things!
It's just a bit hot to the feet. This is the only dissatisfaction of the old Qin people with the Shuishi Artificial Road in midsummer.
But now... Lao Qin felt as if his feet were no longer hot, because compared to the barefooted and bald people who appeared in the depths of his eyes at this moment, he still had shoes on his feet.
Those people walked barefoot on the hot water and stone roads, as if they didn't feel anything, especially the clothes they wore were different from those of the old Qin people.
The dark red robe falls on the body, hanging down from the left, revealing a wheat-colored right arm. In his hand, he is either holding a string of round beads, or holding a strange three-sided object.
Although there are chariots and horses behind him, there is no driver, only a puller.
There was no hair at all on the top of their heads, and upon closer inspection, those people were definitely not from the Old Qin Dynasty, nor from the Central Plains. Eighty-nine out of ten of them were foreigners.
Gentile?
Old Qin people have seen a lot of foreigners here in Xianyang, but it is really rare to see twenty or thirty barefoot and bald foreigners like these.
Unknowingly, the old Qin people on both sides of the Shuishi Fortress made way for those people. Hundreds of old Qin people gathered at the entrance square of Xianyang Nancheng.
Tao Tao's eyes fell on those barefoot and bald people. I wonder what those foreigners want to do. They can walk barefoot on the main road on a hot day and are not afraid of burning their feet?
That’s it!
The old Qin people are convinced!
"These foreigners are so strange. Are they really not afraid of burning their feet?"
An old Qin man admired it because he couldn't walk barefoot on the water stone road. Even if he wore shoes, he would feel the heat of the water stone after a long time.
But these foreigners seemed indifferent.
"Have you never seen them in Xianyang before?"
An old Qin man rolled over the memories in his mind and affirmed that he had lived in Xianyang City for more than 20 years and had seen many great kings from Shandong countries.
I have never seen these red-robed, barefoot and bald people before.
"What are they here for?"
"Merchant?"
Another person suspected that when foreigners came to Xianyang, they were basically traders, selling special things that were not available in Guanzhong and making huge profits.
"Not like a merchant."
"If it were a merchant, who would walk barefoot on the important road like this?"
The person next to me retorted directly.
Merchants make money and enjoy it very much. Let alone walking barefoot on the main road, it is impossible to sleep in the carriage on such a hot day.
"Is he an envoy from a small country in the Western Region?"
"During this period, there have been many envoys from small countries coming from the two counties in Hexi, but... none like this?"
Someone else is speculating.
The Qin Dynasty wiped out the six kingdoms in Shandong and unified all the Xia. People in the Old Qin Dynasty were happy about it, and its reputation spread widely, and the small Yi countries all around surrendered one after another.
Envoys were sent to Xianyang one after another, like a pedestrian station, thinking they would pay homage to the king.
They have also heard that those small countries are really not strong, with tens of thousands or more than one hundred thousand people in the country, and thousands or thousands of soldiers in the country.
It’s really small!
Really weak!
I really didn’t know there was such a small country in the world?
If it were placed among the Xia Dynasties, it would have been attacked and destroyed long ago.
"..."
"..."
However, no matter what the old Qin people who were watching the excitement said, they could not affect the marching route of these more than 20 barefoot and bald people at all, nor could they affect the appearance and deportment of these red-robed people.
Until these people stopped at the entrance in front of Xianyang Nancheng!
Because if you want to enter the city, you need to take care of yourself!
"Sir, this is the most powerful city in the land of Eastern Cathay - Xianyang."
"It's really magnificent, it's really immeasurable, and it's even more amazing that the famous king lives in Bozhali!"
"When we crossed the river and marched eastward, we saw more than a million people. This was just a corner of the Xia. Sure enough, the entire Xia heard the Buddha's teachings."
“What an event!”
"The Buddha's land is immeasurable, its light is immeasurable, and its wisdom is vast and immeasurable!"
He was barefoot and bald, with a slightly raised red fleshy ball between his eyebrows. The fleshy ball was as big as a baby's finger knuckles. He clasped his hands together and spoke Buddha's words.
Who is it if it's not the pagoda Zhangyue that Yan Lingji saw back then?
Looking at the huge city in front of me, endless admiration circulates.
In the Kingdom of Peacock Buddha, the famous Dharma protector King Asoka lived in Bozhali. The status there was equal to that of Xianyang in the Qin State. Unfortunately, we had to admit that the aura spread in the city of Xianyang far exceeded that of Bozhali.
"Qin!"
"King Qin!"
"Xianyang!"
"This great king of the land of Eastern Cathay has done something as great as the famous king of Dharma Protector. He conquered with a large army, and no one can stand against him. All the lands of Xia are in his hands."
"This kind of kings...are very wise, very brave, and very ambitious.
Walking in front of the team, an old man with a slightly declining appearance clasped his hands together and nodded. He had been with the famous protector king for many years and was well aware of the extraordinary nature of such figures.
Now, the famous Dharma protector king has gone far away, and the Peacock Buddha country is worried. The Buddha's light shines all over the land of Eastern Cathay according to the words of the Buddha. The famous Dharma protector king also expressed the hope that the Buddha's way will spread throughout the world.
Zhu Xia... is their goal.
I hope such kings will allow them to preach.
"My lord, before you have an audience with the King of Qin, do you want to meet his ministers?"
"The Prime Minister of the country, according to the rules of the Qin State, his status and honor in Xianyang are second only to the King of Qin."
"Sure enough, he can help us, and it is quite possible to spread the Dharma of the Lord!"
Zhanyue looked at Sir Sri Fang in front of the team. He was a wise man from the Peacock Buddha Kingdom and the ordained teacher of the famous Dharma Protector King.
It deserves their respect and courtesy.
I had traveled through the Xia first and had some understanding of the Qin State. If I wanted to get the King of Qin to agree to spread the teachings of the World Honored One, the King of Qin was naturally the one to make the decision.
However, it would be better if someone here in Xianyang speaks for them.
The prime minister of the country, with a respected status, is a good choice. In addition, there are the state captain Wei Liaozi, the court captain Li Si, etc.
As for...Wuzhenhou of Xianyang!
This person was born in the Taoist Heavenly Sect in the land of Zhuxia, which is very different from the Taoism of Futu. He has also fought against Venerable Luohu, so it is not suitable for him.
Although it is said that this person’s status is also very high!
"No!"
"We will go directly to see this great monarch."
"Just like next to the famous protector of the Dharma, he is a wise person. If he knows the exquisite teachings of the World Honored One, he should be considered as a preacher."
Sri Fang's old and wrinkled face showed no intention of moving. He shook his head and did not agree with this intention.
Asking to see the King of Qin directly is the best option.
"This..., what if Xianyang's Marquis Wu Zhen, General Meng Wu and others object?"
The pagoda blocks the moon and hesitates.
I have never doubted that the Buddha's teachings will be praised and praised throughout the years, so I will not let the Buddha down, and I hope that I and others can do this.
Without the help of important people in Xianyang, it would be very difficult to spread the Buddha's teachings.
"Only by following the king's orders can we not harm the way of the World Honored One."
In the procession, a grand Zen sound was preached.
"Namo World Honored One!"
"Namo World Honored One!"
"..."
As soon as he said this, more than twenty people from the pagoda all put their hands together and saluted.
After a hundred and ten breaths.
"Who are you?"
In front of the gate of Xianyang Nancheng, the city guard was interrogating this group of barefoot and bald men in red robes. They looked very strange, and they definitely needed to be questioned.
Leave a record.
"We have come from the Peacock Kingdom thousands of miles away. With our sincerity and the Buddha's principles, we would like to see the noble King of Qin!"
Sri Sri Fang came forward and bowed deeply.
"The land of peacocks?"
"Thousands of miles away?"
"Well, since it is a foreign country, does it have a certificate of credence?"
The process of guarding the city is very familiar. In recent months, people from the small country of Siyi have entered one after another. They all follow this process. The group of people in front of them, whether they are real or fake, are the same.
Here is a step by yourself.
Before you want to see the king, there are also search procedures in Xianyang Palace.
"In the lower room, there is a sermon silk book written by Ashoka, the leader of the Kingdom of Peacock."
"This is the text of the Peacock Kingdom. This volume... is the text of the Qin Kingdom!"
Sri Fang took out a yellow flat wooden box from his arms, carefully placed it flat in his palm, then opened it and took out a roll of golden brocade silk.
There are strange words imprinted on it.
Immediately, he took out a piece of paper with black characters and imprints from the wooden box. This is a good thing. It is not available in the Peacock Kingdom. It is very convenient to write words and it is also very convenient to record the way of the Buddha.
"Well, I can't understand it either. It would be nice to have this thing."
"Put it away. Someone from Xianyang Royal City will check it carefully next."
"If you are found to be fake, you may all be killed."
"Leave your names one by one and you can enter the city."
The city guard looked at the two things, but he couldn't understand them, and he couldn't tell whether they were true or false. Anyway, he finished the journey by himself according to the procedure.
The rest is the responsibility of Xianyang Royal City.
"Thank you!"
Do as the Romans do when you are in the country. Walk all the way from the two counties of Hexi to the front of Xianyang City. You will know a lot about the elegant etiquette here.
"I'm here, Mr. Lee Fang!"
"Under the moon!"
"..."
"In Xialuohu!"
"..."
Not long after, under the attention of many old Qin people watching around, more than 20 strangely dressed, barefoot and bald men entered Huanghuang Xianyang City with their accompanying things.
Once again, it attracted the attention of interesting people on the roadside, in wine shops, tea shops, and restaurants.
"It's them!"
"They actually arrived at Xianyang City. They didn't walk very fast. I heard they crossed the river and walked along the Wei River."
"Sister Yan Ling, they are those from the Pagoda!"
As noon approached, Yun Shu finished handling the trivial matters in the house and invited Ji Yanran, master and apprentice, to the bustling place in Nancheng.
Naturally, the companions were Sister Yanling, Sister Nongyu, and Sister Qianhong. At this moment, they walked out of those interesting shops and were staying in a natural and elegant room.
Lingsense sensed something strange on the approaching street, and immediately noticed a familiar aura coming from the pagoda.
The people of pagoda.
Judging from the news from the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce, those people had already crossed the river, but they were moving very slowly and only walked along the way.
Eating and sleeping in the open, they look like refugees.
Today, after traveling more than a thousand miles, I arrived at Xianyang City. It is indeed a legacy left by a supreme being who is integrated with all things. It is unique.
"The people of Pagoda!"
"Are they those barefoot and bald people who have appeared in Zhuxia in recent years?"
Ji Yanran was also in the elegant room. Hearing Miss Yunshu's words, she felt that her spiritual sense was permeating the air. It was not difficult to detect those people, especially because the aura of those people was not weak.
Twenty-seven people in total!
Twelve existences at the peak innate level.
Existences at the level of eight gods!
There are three half-step entrance halls!
Three existences at the entrance level!
There is another person whose aura cannot be detected. Just like an ordinary person, he cannot detect it due to his current state, and he has definitely cultivated to the very depths of the entrance.
Maybe...return to the Yuan Dynasty together?
This should be unlikely.
"It's that person!"
"He actually came too."
"Venerable Buddha is comparable to Venerable Buddha at the level of Baijia and Daohezhen. His name is Luohu. When the young master visited the four counties last year, he had a fight with him and was injured by the young master."
"Do you still have the guts to show up now?"
Yan Lingji's spiritual sense swept through those people one by one, without concealing her aura at all. After meditating and practicing the "Great Prajna", the aura of the people in the pagoda was very keen.
No one can escape from the magic field.
He passed by those people one by one, ignoring their vigilant looks, and focused his attention on the man who couldn't sense the pagoda in front of him.
Buddha Luohu!
I have met him and will not forget it.
"It's indeed him!"
Yun Shu's appearance also became dignified. Luo Hu's aura had calmed down just now, just like an ordinary person. He didn't pay attention. But now if he takes a closer look, it's him!
