Chapter five hundred and seventy-ninth Han monk outside the shrine
The facts proved that the elderly had a very vicious vision. Until the end of the banquet, the native girls who had already hooked up and the young soldiers got into the woods in pairs, but no native girls came to find Li Yan. This hit him a big blow. Whether he was interested was one thing, but a group of women didn't even look at him, but instead fought with other soldiers. I guess as long as he was a man, he would feel depressed. ////
Seeing Li Yan's appearance, the young and long-shoulder patted Li Yan's shoulder sympathetically, and then said deeply: "Brother, this is not our fault. If you blame it, you can only blame these native women for their aesthetic views different from ours. Have you noticed that these women can only choose tall and strong people, and our kind and gentlemanly style is not popular here!"
After hearing this, Li Yan discovered that the soldiers pulled away by those women were really strong men, and it seemed that the stronger they were, the more popular they were. For example, Xi Junmai, the personal bodyguard chief, had attracted many women to chat with him with his extremely strong figure, but because of his responsibilities, he was not moved at all. However, it may be because his attraction was too great, so there are still two native girls waiting by his side. The temptation in his eyes could be seen by a man. In addition, there were several other guards around Li Yan, all of whom were Kong Wu's powerful type, which also made those Nicobar women very obsessed with them and were entangled with them.
Seeing this, Li Yan finally felt a little better. It turned out that it was not because of his lack of charm, but because of the aesthetic problems of these native women. But then Li Yan looked at the young and tall next to him, and saw that the old man was thin and had a lewd figure and was indescribable to his eyes. This made Li Yan understand one truth, that is, although the aesthetic problems of these Nicobar women were, their ugliness was still consistent with the Han people.
Li Yan is a good boss who is considerate of his subordinates. Seeing that Xi Junmai and several strong guards were entangled by those women, he also smiled and secretly ordered someone to arrange a few more guards who were not attracted by Nicobar women like him. Then he took a leave for Xi Junmai and waited for a few, so that they could relax. As a result, Xi Junmai was grateful to me, hugged the native woman beside him with both hands, and disappeared after entering the woods.
However, some people were too impatient and started doing things without going far. In a short while, all kinds of despicable sounds spread to the beach, and the soldiers who were not selected were scolded. After all, they were already depressed enough, but now they still had to suffer such torture, which was a life-threatening person.
But no matter how much they scolded, these people soon couldn't stand it. They bent over and ran back to the boat with red faces. If they stayed on the beach, they would probably explode and die.
Although Li Yan was not interested in these native women, the moans in his ears were like magic sounds that were pierced through his brain, which was not something human power could resist, so he had to escape back to the boat in the end. However, on the way back, he accidentally bumped into several pairs of wild mandarin ducks, but was scolded by these fierce native women, which made Li Yan sigh.
After a night of storms, the next day, the fleet added an egg to breakfast. But seeing that many crew members in the restaurant were full of chunfeng and looked vibrant, Li Yan felt that these people didn’t need eggs at all, so it would be better to throw them into the sea and listen to the sound. This is definitely not jealousy, Li Yan swears!
The next day, Li Yan's fleet set sail, but on both sides of the military port of Greater Nicobar Island, there were many Nicobar women standing there, silently seeing off their lover last night. Ten months later, a group of mixed-race children appeared on the island, and hundreds of children were born in concentrated areas. For this reason, even the military doctors stationed in the army helped deliver the baby. After these children were born, they were all registered as Chinese and went to school with the Han children in the army. They had a sense of identity with their identities since childhood. Many people also found their biological fathers through the help of the army when they grew up. Of course, these are all later stories.
After several days of driving, the fleet leaving the Nicobar Islands finally arrived at Ceylon Island. Li Yan's first stop was the capital of the Sinhalese Kingdom, Li Yan. However, because the name of this city is too similar to that of Lion City in Malacca, and it is a Buddhist holy place, Li Yan changed the name of Lion City to Buddha City.
The Buddha City was not originally located near the sea, but later because of its special status, it was only 30 miles away from the nearest port. After Li Yan occupied Ceylon Island, he ordered local officials to build a railway between the Buddha City and the port. It has just been completed and with the connection of the railway, the Buddha City's economy has developed rapidly, and it has flourished several times more than it was back then. In addition, a new city has also been formed at the port, which is called the New Buddha City.
Li Yan landed in New Buddha City, and under the arrangement of Liu Rengui, the group boarded the train and came to the Lao Fo City to rest. Now Ceylon Island has been designated as Ceylon State, with Liu Rengui as the governor, Xue Rengui as the general of the army, and Zhu Chong as the general of the navy. These three are all young people in the Qi Palace. They are not over forty years old and are very motivated to do things. Although they sometimes have problems with inexperience, they will not affect the overall situation.
The Sinhala Kingdom was plotted by Li Zhen and Li Yun and finally surrendered. In order to calm the people's hearts, although the Sinhala king was deposed, he was not driven out of the palace. Therefore, the original king's family still lives in the palace in the Buddha city. However, I heard that this king who was very devout to Buddha was planning to convert the palace into a temple, so after Li Yan came to the Buddha city, he could only live in a villa built by a Han merchant in the Buddha city.
Although this villa is newly built, the owner of the villa is originally a Buddhist. In addition, many Sinhala craftsmen have been hired, so the villa is full of exotic style. Many of the decorations and murals of the villa are related to Buddhism. Li Yan feels uncomfortable when he eats because he is a carnivore.
In fact, Li Yan had no prejudice against Buddhism, but because their Li family always respected Laozi as their ancestors, and the upper nobles of the Tang Dynasty also respected Taoism, Li Yan generally rarely contacted Buddhism. However, taking advantage of this opportunity to come to the Buddha City, he was excited to browse various scenery in the Buddha City.
Speaking of which, the original Sinhala is worthy of being a Buddha country. Most of the places worth visiting in the capital are large temples of various sizes, and the rest are related to Buddhism. It is precisely because the Buddhist culture here is so prosperous that many Buddhists have attracted to come here to worship Buddha.
The most common temples in the Buddhist city are large and small. Once there are more temples, there will naturally be more monks. These monks are almost everywhere on the streets, and ordinary residents respect them very much when they see monks.
It is also worth mentioning that among the monks that can be seen everywhere in the Buddha City, there are some monks who traveled thousands of miles from the Tang Dynasty. They usually boarded the ship from Dengzhou, Shanghai and other places, and then passed the Malacca Strait to reach Ceylon. Ceylon Island was their first stop. After staying here for a while, they would enter the Indian continent to conduct activities, while preaching and looking for traces left by the Buddha back then.
After Li Yan transferred all the temples that can be visited in the Buddha City, he finally came to the most famous place in the entire Buddha City, which is the Buddha Tooth Relics, which worships Buddha Tooth Relics. This jing house is completely made of sandalwood and is the highest level of the Sinhalese Kingdom architecture. The entire jing house looks beautiful and reflects a sense of peace and tranquility everywhere.
It is only because of this Buddha tooth that the Sinhalese Kingdom was destroyed. However, it is precisely because of this Buddha tooth that the Sinhalese Kingdom has not experienced bloodshed. Therefore, many Buddhists are already promoting it. It is precisely because of the existence of this Buddha tooth that the Sinhalese people no longer have to suffer war. This is also the place where the Buddha's supernatural powers are vast. Although this propaganda seems a bit ridiculous to Li Yan, many devout Buddhists still choose to believe it.
The Buddha Tooth Jingsan is not open to the public. If you want to worship Buddha Tooth, you can only wait until three months to hold a ceremony to welcome Buddha Tooth. However, Li Yan was unfortunately here, because just ten days ago, the Buddha City had just held an event to welcome Buddha Tooth, and it was more than two months before the next time, and Li Yan naturally could not wait in the city for such a long time.
It is precisely because of this that Li Yan could only walk around outside the Buddha's Tooth Cabin, and then someone familiar with it explained the situation of the Buddha's Tooth Cabin and the grand occasion when the Buddha's Tooth Cabin was welcomed.
Originally, with Li Yan's power, it would be a very simple thing if he really wanted to see the Buddha's teeth. He didn't even need to show his true identity. As long as Liu Rengui was suppressed by the governor, no one could stop him from entering the Buddha's teeth hall. However, this would definitely cause a rift between Liu Rengui and local Buddhism, which would be detrimental to his future work. He did not want more people to know about his arrival, so he simply regarded himself as an ordinary tourist and just check it out.
However, just as Li Yan walked around the Buddha's Tooth Hall for a few times and was about to go back, he suddenly saw a middle-aged monk in his fifties holding a Buddhist ceremony and slowly walked towards the Jingshe gate. When he was more than ten steps away from the gate, he suddenly fell to the ground and began to bow his head to recite scriptures.
It is said that several feet around the Jing House are forbidden areas, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter at all. However, this monk is not subject to this restriction, and what surprised Li Yan even more was that this man was actually a Han monk.
