Chapter 3 The Imperial Capital

It's actually easy to get to the imperial capital. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The imperial capital is the political, cultural and economic center of the entire Jiang country, and many merchants who go south and north will carry out business activities in the imperial capital, so there are many caravans that arrive in the imperial capital, and many people generally spend some money to follow the caravan for convenience and safety. The transportation of the imperial capital extends in all directions, and it is extremely convenient to take both water and land routes.

But these are still too far away for the unsophisticated and penniless innate nature. After a day's trekking, I finally came to Jinyang City, which is fifty miles away from Huangniu Town.

Looking at Jinyang City from afar, the city is tall and majestic. It was as if a giant beast was lurking here, and it was very shocking. However, at this time, he was not in the mood to appreciate, and after a day's walk, he was already tired and hungry. The legs were filled with lead, and it took a great deal of force to take every step. There was also a cake in the baggage, but I didn't intend to eat it by nature. Wait until the next morning, after eating the bread, and then have the strength to look for some food.

There was a ruined temple a mile from the city gate, and he walked towards the ruined temple step by step, apparently planning to rest in the ruined temple for a night. It's a tough walk. "Whew. After arriving at the ruined temple, he breathed a sigh of relief, and fell asleep on the cold ground without even laying hay. It looks like it's really tiring.

……

It was late at night, the sky was dark, lightning and thunder were roaring, and the weather didn't look very good.

"You all had a good meal today, right? A voice sounded not far from the ruined temple.

"Not bad, not bad. It's been a long time since I've been drinking and eating meat so happily. The other replied, in a lewd voice, as if to confirm his words, and gave a big burp, which immediately caused several people around him to laugh.

"Yes, this wine is really enjoyable, if we can get so much money every day in the future, then we can drink a lot of wine every day and eat a lot of meat, wouldn't that day be a race against the gods?" said another person. As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked in the ass.

I only heard one person say: "You kid don't daydream anymore, if it weren't for the fact that Master Li worships the Buddha and repays his vows today, he will give alms to the beggars in the city." Otherwise, where did you get so much money? You still eat meat and. As soon as he finished speaking, several beggars around him burst into laughter. The beggar who was scolded also laughed, as if it was not himself who had been scolded just now.

It is no wonder that these beggars have no dignity in the first place. Groveling for some food, smiling. On weekdays, he suffers from cold eyes and ridicule. Who cares about this bit of abuse. A group of people talked and laughed, and then arrived at the gate of the broken temple.

"Hey, where did this little beggar come from? One person was surprised when he saw Tiansheng lying on the ground.

"Where, where?" everyone followed the man's gaze and looked at him.

"This little bastard, taking advantage of the fact that Lao Tzu is not there, actually occupies our place. One of them walked over as he spoke, kicked Tiansheng, who was lying on the ground, and yelled, "Boy, get up quickly, don't pretend to sleep." ”

Seeing that Tiansheng didn't react, he kicked twice hard, and several people around watched and coaxed for a while, but no one stepped forward to stop him.

The sleeping dazed nature faintly heard the sound of a group of people talking, which seemed very noisy. It didn't take long for me to feel hit by something heavy. I squinted my eyes hard, but before I could fully open them, I saw a big foot kicking at me. Before he could react to what was going on, he was kicked away. I rolled around on the ground a few times before stopping. Before he could recover from his recovery, he heard another burst of laughter.

Put your hands on the ground and try to support your body. With the help of the brief light brought by the lightning that pierced the sky from time to time, I saw that at some point, four or five people had already entered the ruined temple, these people were ragged, dirty, and with a hint of alcohol, and they were looking at themselves with bad intentions at this time, laughing non-stop.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he was born to know his situation at this time. Trying to get up from the ground, trying to show a smile: "A few masters, I don't know what happened?" As soon as Tiansheng's voice fell, it caused another burst of laughter: "Haha, did you hear it, he called us uncle." ”

I was born to see them laughing happily, so I had to try to laugh along with them. There's no way, the little life is still in the hands of these people, if you anger them, you won't end well. At this time, the sound of lightning and thunder outside seemed to become more and more intense.

After laughing for a while, a person slowly walked in front of Tiansheng, bowed down to look at him, and said with a hideous face: "Since you know that we are the uncle, then you know what the consequences are if you rob the uncle's place?" When he said the word "consequences", he glared at Tiansheng viciously.

I see, I finally understood the whole thing. It turned out that the ruined temple was a beggar's nest, and they accidentally occupied their sleeping place, and they came to trouble themselves. But although he knows what happened, he still has no choice, who calls the difference in force between the two sides too great?

"I'm sorry, a few masters, I'll leave now, I'll leave ......" Tiansheng nodded and bowed. He didn't want to anger them at the last minute. And the beggar, who was born to talk, seemed to be very satisfied with his "sensibility" and couldn't help nodding.

After taking the burden by nature, I can't take care of the pain in my body. Quickly walked towards the outside of the ruined temple, for fear that something would happen again. But it backfired.

"Stop" Tiansheng just walked to the temple gate when he heard a shout.

"Uncles, what's the matter?" said with a smile.

"Leave your baggage open. ”

"A few uncles, I only have a few clothes in my baggage, and there are no other ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted.

"Tell you to open. The voice was angry.

Born helpless, I had to slowly open my baggage, and kept praying in my heart, hoping that in the dark night, these people would not find the only bread they had left.

"Hey, there's a pie here. "One was as amazed as if he had discovered a new world.

The illusions in the heart of the innate were suddenly shattered.

"Fuck, this kid is not honest!" Tiansheng was kicked again and fell to the ground instantly.

Immediately afterwards, I saw that the messy baggage that had been turned over was also thrown on the ground, and then I heard a faint voice: "Get out." "Born like a gift, pick up the burden and stumble out of the broken temple.

Looking at the embarrassed back, it caused all the beggars to laugh again. Born to run faster and faster. At this time, it was already raining heavily, lightning and thunder, wind and thunder. It seems to reflect the heart of the born at this time.

He ran to the city gate, which was now closed. Close to the city wall, tears rained down in nature. The rain and tears have long been indistinguishable. I used to think that all people were as kind and kind as the master and brothers, but I didn't expect that there would be such hateful and unreasonable people in the world.

……

At this time, the temple of cultivating the mind.

"Master, let me go and bring my junior brother back!" As soon as he finished reporting everything to the Void True Person, Ling Yun couldn't wait to ask for his life.

"Don't worry, you let the other disciples follow the natural life, remember, not when their lives are in danger. Do not come forward to help him. ”

"Master, but junior brother he ...... now"

Needless to say, these difficulties and setbacks on the road of life must be borne by him personally, and no one can help him. ”

"But ......" Ling Yun was about to say something, but was interrupted by the Void True Man again: "You remember, how much hope a person carries, how much suffering he must endure. This is the path he was born to choose, and it should be completed by him. Go down!"

"Yes," Ling Yun had to be ordered to retreat. From the conversation just now, the head interrupted his words twice, just because he didn't want to let himself continue to intercede for his junior brother, so since this is the case, it is useless to continue to intercede. Ling Yun thought so.

But he didn't know that the Void True Man interrupted his plea because he was afraid that even he would be shaken. A teacher for one day, a father for life. Hearing about his natural situation, why didn't he feel distressed?

"Hey, I hope that I will be able to experience the painstaking work of being a teacher in the future. On the empty Mind Cultivation Hall, the Void True Man sighed softly.

……

All living beings, they are either happy and sorrowful, or born, old, sick and dead. But life goes on, and after the darkness, the sun still rises. Life is like a giant roulette wheel that keeps spinning and doesn't stop because of someone.

The next day, the sun pierces the darkness and cold, shedding light and heat on the earth. The whole world has woken up.

At this time, the natural born who was curled up in the corner of the city wall, even with his eyes closed, could still feel the glare of the sun. Slowly open your eyes, smell the fresh breath of the world after the rain, and look at the world illuminated by the sun, and the previous gloom is swept away. After a night of rain, not only did I not catch a cold, but even the tiredness of yesterday's rush and the injuries suffered at night seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and I couldn't help but be secretly surprised. It's just that his stomach is hungrier, and he is very helpless when he touches his stomach.

The gates of the city had long since been wide open, and there were already many pedestrians coming in and out. Tiansheng also took the opportunity to enter the city, and he had to find a way to solve the stomach problem.

As soon as I entered Jinyang City, I refreshed my innate understanding of the prosperity of the city. Not only is the scale of the city more than ten times larger than that of the previous Scalper Town, but the city's architectural and commercial prosperity is also very different from that of the Scalper Town. But despite his dazzle, his stomach kept reminding him of what his priorities were.

"Uncle, do you have people here? I can do anything, just give me something to fill my stomach. "In the restaurant.

"Go, go, go. ”

"This uncle, do you accept people? Just take care of the food. "In the pharmacy.

"Get out of the way, don't get in my way. ”

"Auntie, do you need someone here? Just give me a bun. "In the bun shop.

"Child, go away, don't get in the way of your aunt's business. ”

I spent the whole morning walking around countless shops. I haven't found any food yet, but I'm hungry. I had to sit on the side of the street and rest.

"I'm so hungry. Inherently powerless sighed. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a copper coin "plop" and fell to the ground. Tiansheng hurriedly picked up the copper coin, and before he could thank him, he saw that the person who threw the copper coin was already gone. At this moment, the heart of the natural is broken, and he is regarded as a beggar.

bought a bun with the only copper coin, and finally relieved the stomach that had been waiting to be fed, but at this time, the innate was in a tangle. Now he is undoubtedly unable to earn money, if he can't earn money, he can't buy food, and if he can't buy food, he will go hungry. At that time, let alone going to the imperial capital to apprentice and practice, if you don't starve to death, you will burn high incense.

But will he go to ask for food? This is not only contrary to his original intention of running away from the mountain, but if he lets others know that the personal disciple of the head of the Sword Sect is going to ask for food. He is not afraid of losing face, in case he damages the reputation of the sword sect and the master, he will not be able to redeem himself. There is also the thought of the beggars who bullied me yesterday, and I am inherently unwilling to become like them.

In this way, I was born to think about it for a whole hour.

"Forget it, if you are a beggar, you will be a beggar, as long as you don't be like that group of beggars, you eat and wait for death, bully the weak, and don't expose your relationship with Jianmen. In fact, if you think about it, being a beggar is not bad, at least it is the best way to get closer to your dreams now. "Born to think so.

"Uncles, okay, let's enjoy the food...... is the so-called heart is not as good as action, the first second is still tangled in nature, the next second is already a good interpretation of the beggar profession.

Three days later, Tiansheng, who had been entangled in his life, began to embark on the journey to the imperial capital again. Even if he is a beggar, he is an "ambitious" beggar with dreams.

In this way, trekking through mountains and rivers, begging all the way. I don't know how many hardships and dangers I have experienced along the way, and how many jackals, tigers and leopards I have encountered, as if with divine help, they will all be saved in the end. Two months later, Tiansheng finally came to the imperial capital safely.
