To Four Thousand Years Later

Today is the day Hassan and Uldi come to sell their knowledge to an old earl. The white-faced deer on the green flag fluttered in the wind, as majestic as ever. Just like the old white deer uncle, he is a vigorous creature that eats grass but is not harmless. When the traders who knew them saw Haisang and the others, they warmly greeted them both. And Haysang also kindly returned their salutes and prayed softly for everyone.

"May Ahura bless you, may Mazda be upon you

The brown-skinned middle-aged man who followed behind him also saluted and prayed to them.

Haisang raised his head and looked at Bailu Qi. Deep eyes.

A faint golden light suddenly flickered in his eyes, like the reflection in the pupils of a person facing a flame.

"A distinguished guest is waiting for us today."

Haisang spoke suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Remember not to be rude. If you are not sure, keep silent first. Although his tone is very calm, there is a kind of power and rhythm in it. If there is a bard here, it must be It can be heard that Hai Sang's pronunciation is very rhythmic. The speed of his every sentence is very similar. It is not so much a chat as a chanting, which is Hai Sang's day after day when he was young. Avesta, one of the manifestations of the divine will tempered. As long as he upholds good thoughts and good deeds, he can always maintain his own sacredness, will not be invaded by evil worship, and always maintain a clear mind and Healthy body. Now Haisang looks fifty or sixty years old, and obvious signs of aging have appeared on his face. The skin has lost its elasticity and is dull. The eye sockets are sunken and the pupils are cloudy. Even in Frank, people of his age It can already be counted as a long life. Therefore, he was not troubled by the guards. Although it did not meet the regulations, the guards still invited Haisang into the castle for a while while notifying the old earl. rest.

Part of the reason for this is that the two of them have been here many times. But another reason is because François has a tradition of respecting the elderly.

Chu said that all countries in the pan-Roman cultural circle have the habit of respecting virtuous and learned elders. They value the experience of the elderly very much, even when evaluating the title of sponsor. Whether the other party is old or not has gradually become an important criterion—this criterion was originally "whether admired by everyone", but since three hundred years ago, it has unknowingly changed to "whether you are old enough or not". Nowadays, in terms of law and customary law, the opinions of old sages can even affect the judgments issued by some young lawyers, and even affect their reputation among the people.

Very dissatisfied, but they obviously can't shake this

Hassan heard Urdi beside him whispering a sigh of relief. He turned around immediately. He shook his head slightly to stop his words. Seeing Haisang's signal, Urdi immediately shut his mouth obediently.

"It's the same everywhere, Uldi."

Hassan explained softly: "Every country has its own problems. Although the Franks are stubborn, they at least have a good king.

Hearing this, Urdi's expression darkened a bit:

He knew that Hai Sang didn't want to mention this matter. Because he is one of Hassan's students. He is also his assistant now.

In fact, he was not Hassan's favorite disciple. Three of Hassan's students have become priests of the Holy Fire, but after Hassan was excommunicated because of heresy, only Urdi was willing to abandon his membership and accompany his teacher to Frank. It is said that he was ordered by the Sasanian king to preach, but in fact he was exiled. Hassan knew exactly what the purpose was. It is nothing more than not allowing him to participate in next year's general election. Because the seven-year maximum Ren Ming, which is seven times the king's seven times, is about to come to an end, and he is trying to pass his throne to his son, a high priest who is a bit extreme and too close to the army. However, according to the tradition of Fujiao, the high priest has the right to initiate a referendum every seven years. If more than half of the people think that the king does not meet the standards of "universal thoughts", "universal words" and "good deeds", he has the right to remove the king. Re-elect among the top seven high priests.

Of course, the referendum here is limited to priestly class citizens. Even the top of the second estate has no power to decide who the new king is. This is a rule made by the previous king to prevent the royal power from falling into the hands of the army.

"When you think about it, you know that the Franks are not a problem at all.

Haisang said calmly: "If Mori is elected as the new king, it is foreseeable that the flames of war will spread all over the country.

"Whether it is the Goths, Franks, Egyptians, or Indians, Uyghurs, and Tang people, they will be directly threatened by Mori. He loves plundering and does not like farming; he does not love Ahura's subjects. They are big here. Zhang Qigu's selling of knowledge was to attract the attention of the Frankish king. I heard that the new king loved learning since he was a child, and his methods were very clever. First he took back the land in the eastern border, and then simply executed the disloyal nobles. Now Frank quickly passed through the chaos of the succession of the throne and re-entered order.

The king lowered the land tax. Another group of civil talents was recruited. It was recently heard that he also married a sage woman who had no official position and was born in the common people. Just because their handsome king heard kindness and wisdom from her, he was ecstatic to keep her by his side. Loved by their new king, King Pepin's dead laments were soon replaced by new laughter.

Isn't this a wise king?

If the king could be attracted by their words and summon them, they would be able to tell the virtuous king at close quarters the plight that Sasan Persia is facing now. Make it clear to him that it would be bad for everyone if Morrie got the throne. At least, let the person who is willing to maintain peace become the new king. At this moment, the earl's steward came in from the door, and respectfully saluted the two of them: "My lord, please. He said it was the earl, but Hazel came in from the steward's His unspeakable joy, reverence, excitement, and tension were read in the fire of his heart. Sure enough, the king must have come here in person. Haisang took a deep breath and felt relaxed.

But at the moment when his mind was relaxed, a golden fire suddenly jumped out of his eyes. Shadows of the future and the past flashed before his eyes.

His body stiffened,

"What's wrong, teacher?

Uldi keenly noticed that Haisang's situation was wrong, and looked back with some vigilance and nervousness: "Is there something wrong?"

He was held down by Haisang. The old five fingers were so strong that Uldi's shoulders ached. His eyes were burning with excitement and amazement, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "You don't know what I saw. You don't know, what a sacred and great being that lord is, so "What did you see?" "

"I saw wisdom and compassion incarnate on earth.

Haisang whispered quickly: "He is the master of one-half of the world. He is the foundation of all things, the cornerstone of wisdom, and the dawn star of this chaotic and gloomy era.

He is the son of Zhila Tustra. The Savior who will guide mankind into the kingdom of light, justice and truth in the future - he whispers in a dream

Hai Sang had already seen this person in a dream. But he didn't suddenly recall that dream until now.

But the housekeeper didn't feel anxious when he saw them standing still. He also repeated in a low voice with great respect and excitement.

"One or two, His Majesty the King invites you."
