Chapter 14: Foreigners who came to Qin to look for the Saint Buddha
Whether it was the improved brush, the paper, or the books printed by printing technology, they all felt incredible.
Compared with them, water wheels and other things are nothing but mediocre and not worth mentioning!
As they thought about it, their attention was focused on the people who could create these things.
"Who made these papers, books, and brushes?"
“He is worthy of being called a saint!”
"Incredible!"
Is it the same person who invented the water wheel and other things last time, or is it someone else?
Just as they were in doubt, the clerk in the shop couldn't help but shook his head and reminded them, "These things were made by the little god of the Qin royal family."
"The little god saw that writing and recording in the world was difficult, and he felt pity for the people of Qin, so he invented these things."
Xunzi and others were stunned as they listened to the clerk's slow words.
If they had heard such words before, they would have scoffed at them and not believed them at all, thinking that the royal family was messing around again and fabricating lies to create momentum.
But at this moment, they were a little hesitant and unsure.
Ordinary people could invent things like water wheels with some effort, but things like paper were like godsends, and it was not something that ordinary people could invent easily.
"Is it possible that there really are gods?"
Li Si murmured.
At this moment, he no longer had the confidence he had before. He was not sure whether the Qin royal family was just being mysterious or if a god really had descended to Qin.
Others thought similarly.
Especially the spies from other countries, their eyes widened when they saw the so-called papers, books, brushes and other things not far away.
How could such incredible things appear so frequently in the Qin State?
"Could it be that there really are gods in the Qin State?"
They were shocked, confused and lost.
When everyone's emotions were fluctuating, suddenly a series of screams were heard from outside the shop.
Xunzi and others became puzzled and hurriedly walked out of the shop and began to look outside.
Soon, they saw a group of guards escorting a group of people with strange clothes and appearances.
The group of people was huge, and there seemed to be several hundred people.
"Who are these people?"
"Why have we never seen people like this in Qin, Chu, Yan and other countries?"
Li Si and others were confused and discussed the matter.
A passing Xianyang vendor heard this and suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"I heard that these people came from the distant foreign land of Shendu to our Qin State Xianyang in search of a noble saint, a great and supreme enlightened being, a god named Buddha!"
After the words fell, Li Si and others were stunned.
Honorable Saint?
The great and supreme enlightened one?
A god called Buddha?
When did such a thing exist in Xianyang?
And it’s so grand?
A group of several hundred people came all the way from the distant foreign land of Sindhu, just to see the god named Buddha?
Looking at the enthusiasm and expectation on those people's faces and eyes, they felt a little frightened.
Is a god called Buddha worthy of so many people's fanatical belief?
……
at the same time.
The Palace of the King of Qin.
King Yingji of Qin and his ministers were in a state of intense emotion.
Originally, they didn't care much about what Ying Zichu was doing recently, at most they were just a little curious.
Many people were disdainful, playful, and mocking, wanting to see Ying Zichu make a fool of himself.
But at this moment, they could not laugh. Looking at the papers, books, brushes and other things presented by Ying Zichu in the hall, they were shocked.
"This this……"
Looking through the papers, books, and brushes, King Yingji of Qin's eyes widened.
As the King of Qin, he was naturally not stupid. He instantly realized the importance of these so-called papers, books and other things.
Then, he also noticed the most important issue.
How did such things come about?
His shocked gaze turned to Ying Zichu in the hall.
As the King of Qin, how could he not know the abilities of Ying Zichu and his disciples?
It would be impossible for him and his disciples to create such an amazing thing!
King Qin Yingji thought of something and was filled with doubt. He couldn't help but ask, "Grandson, tell me the truth, did you really give birth to a divine child?"
The ministers in the hall also stared at Ying Zichu with their eyes wide open, as if they wanted to stare flowers out of his face.
Facing the gazes of King Qin and others, Ying Zichu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Seeing this scene, King Qin Yingji and others took a deep breath, with a look of disbelief in their eyes.
Is there really a god?
Were things like water wheels and paper all invented by gods?
If so, it seems to make sense...
But, did Ying Zichu really not lie to them?
Before they saw it with their own eyes, they still found it hard to believe.
After all, the existence of gods has always existed only in rumors and is out of reach.
At this time, after Qin Wang Yingji recovered, he couldn't help but ask, "Grandson, can I see you?"
Ying Zichu hesitated when he heard this, "This..."
He was not sure whether his divine son wanted to see the King of Qin. If he did not want to, he did not dare to force him.
In his heart, being the son of God is much more important than the King of Qin in front of him.
Just as he was hesitating and didn't know how to answer, King Yingji of Qin couldn't hear the answer and his brows gradually frowned.
At this time, a guard hurriedly ran into the hall.
"Your Majesty, there are hundreds of foreigners coming outside Xianyang City!" the guard said hurriedly.
After these words were spoken, the puzzled King of Qin Yingji, as well as the ministers, including Ying Zichu, all showed expressions of surprise on their faces.
"People from outside the realm?"
"Why are there so many people from foreign lands coming to our Qin State?"
While the ministers were discussing in low voices, King Yingji of Qin frowned slightly.
People from outside the domain?
He had received news before that a group of people from outside the region were heading towards Xianyang, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
Who would have thought that the group of outsiders would actually make it to Xianyang?
Thinking about this, King Yingji of Qin asked, "What is their purpose?"
"Your Majesty, I heard that these foreigners came to Xianyang in our Qin State for..." The guard explained the reason in detail.
When he said that those people from outsiders came to Xianyang to look for the noble saint, a god named Buddha.
King Qin and others all showed strange expressions on their faces.
King Qin Yingji murmured subconsciously, "Saint? Buddha..."
Does Qin State have such an existence?
The ministers present looked at each other in confusion.
However, as they thought about it, they suddenly thought of something, and Ying Zichu, who was standing in the hall, also had some guesses in his mind.
"Are these people from outside the region coming for my son?"
Ying Zichu thought uncertainly.
