Chapter 217: Saving People
Under the coercion of these two emotions, Xu Tianyu quickened his pace, and he was now eager to know what was going on in the temple.
But after walking around most of the temple, I didn't find half a figure, could it be that the temple was empty, and there was no one?
In front of it was a place where incense was burned and worshipped by no one, and in the back it was supposed to be the living quarters of the monks, so he decided to go there and have a look.
Bypassing the Buddhist hall in front, there is a large open space behind it, and more than a dozen rows of earthen houses stand in the open space, most of which are locked.
Next to the earthen hut is an open field, surrounded by a crooked fence, and it is vaguely recognizable that it was once a vegetable patch.
At this time, Xu Tianyu's pupils suddenly dilated, because he saw a figure lying on the ground in the direction of the vegetable field.
The figure was prostrate on the ground, unable to see his face clearly, and he could be identified as a monk by the monk's robe on his body.
Xu Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there are still people, it is easy to say, but I am afraid that there is no one here, let him run for nothing.
Immediately after that, he felt anxious again, and the monk didn't seem to be very good, prostrate on the ground motionless, and didn't know what was going on.
Xu Tianyu hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the monk's wrist and pinched it with three fingers, and the relics breath passed through the fingers into the monk's body.
After a little investigation, he found that the monk was poisoned, and the poison was very deep, the unknown toxin had soaked into the monk's internal organs, and his life had reached the verge of running out of oil.
To put it bluntly, if he had come a little late, the monk would have died. It is important to save people, Xu Tianyu increased the intensity of breath input, and the unknown toxin quickly disappeared in front of the relic breath.
However, the monk's poisoning was too deep, and Rao is relics breath was domineering, and Xu Tianyu took almost a quarter of an hour to remove the toxins from the monk's body.
Because the monk was poisoned too deeply, he didn't wake up immediately even if the toxin was cleared, Xu Tianyu helped him up, put him in front of the door of a monk's house, and let him lean on the door frame, and then carefully looked at the monk's face.
The monk looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, his pale face was as thin as wood, his eyes were slightly open, and his eyes were motionless in his sunken sockets, like a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest fluctuation.
He was wearing a shabby robe, which had not been washed for a long time, and the dirt and dust almost obscured the original color.
Apparently he was destitute and malnourished, and had been for a long time. He didn't know why, even so, this little monk still insisted on being here, it shouldn't be difficult to go down the mountain, right?
After a while, the little monk's eyes rolled, and he finally came to his senses, his body moved, and he didn't know where the strength came from, and he straightened up as if he was launched.
first looked around blankly for a while, and finally fixed his gaze on Xu Tianyu's face in front of him.
"You...... Who are you? Why didn't I die?"
The little monk's voice was hoarse, like a person who had lived in the desert for a long time, blown by the wind and sand.
"You were saved by me, can you tell me what happened here?" Xu Tianyu said eagerly.
"What?" The little monk's eyes suddenly burst out with a burst of light, as if the life force that was sleeping in his body had suddenly been awakened, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked with the same eagerness, "Did you really save me?
Xu Tianyu was silent for a moment, and then nodded solemnly. It seems that this little monk does not know anything, he clearly knows that he is poisoned, but why does he not go to the hospital? or just leave here.
"You ......" Xu Tianyu just wanted to speak, but was suddenly grabbed by the little monk's wrist with the power that burst out from nowhere.
The little monk's eyes flashed with hope, "Since you can cure the poison in my body, you can definitely save the abbot, hurry up and follow me." ”
After that, the little monk stood up excitedly, but because his body was too weak, and his body could not withstand such intense movements after a long period of malnutrition.
His instincts darkened and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately a pair of powerful thugs immediately followed him up.
Xu Tianyu frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Why are there any other people here?"
"And the abbot is here, he couldn't get out of bed a month ago, if it weren't for me to take care of him, I'm afraid it would be ......"
The little monk didn't continue, his thin cheeks were full of gloomy looks, but Xu Tianyu had already understood his words, if it weren't for him, the old abbot would have gone to the West Heaven to learn scriptures.
"You lead me to save people, and then tell me what the hell is going on. Xu Tianyu immediately said that he was very clear about priorities.
After hearing this, the little monk hurriedly pointed in the direction and said, "The abbot is in that room." ”
Xu Tianyu helped the little monk and walked quickly to the earthen house, the little monk's body was really too weak, and he was almost dragged away by Xu Tianyu. In the end, Xu Tianyu simply carried him on his back, and rushed to the door of the earthen house in three or two steps.
The door of the house was closed, and Xu Tianyu couldn't care about being polite, kicked the door open, and walked in.
The room was very dim, but it was clean, which should be the credit of the little monk.
Near the wall there was an earthen kang on which lay a somewhat blurry figure, equally motionless, not knowing what was going on.
When he came to the bedside, Xu Tianyu first put the little monk on the bed and asked him to sit down, and then quickly checked the situation of the person on the bed.
Lying on the bed was an old and serious old monk, whose gray beard that had not been taken care of for a long time was entangled in his chest, almost clumped, and he had not seen sunlight for a long time, making his skin a sickly pale.
Xu Tianyu put his finger on his shriveled wrist, and with the experience of detoxifying the little monk, Xu Tianyu directly injected a large amount of relic breath into the old monk's body.
After his investigation, the abbot was indeed poisoned, and it was the same toxin in the body of the little monk, Xu Tianyu was puzzled, it seems that there should be a source of virus in this temple, but why didn't the abbot and the little monk leave?
The abbot's poisoning was much heavier than that of the little monk, and it took him half an hour to clear it up. During this period, the little monk watched from the side and did not dare to speak, until Xu Tianyu stopped his hand and asked eagerly.
"This benefactor, how is the abbot mage?"
Xu Tianyu let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's no big deal, just wait for him to wake up." ”
"That's good, that's good. The little monk showed a relieved expression, and his pale face also showed a hint of excited flushing.
"What kind of poison are you guys going to? Why don't you leave here and go to the hospital......?"
In fact, what Xu Tianyu wants to say is why you are so stupid and don't go to the hospital to see a doctor.
The little monk's face showed a sad look, he was too young to hide things in his heart, and he didn't care about it at the moment, so he didn't care about it at the moment, and told him the ins and outs of the matter.
"Actually, I don't know the specific situation, about a year ago, the abbot suddenly dismissed the monks in the temple, and the abbot originally asked me to leave. But I grew up without a father or mother, and I was adopted by the abbot master, and I don't know where else to go if I leave here. I was reluctant to let the abbot master leave. ”
"Then did you already know about the poisoning before?" This is the crux of the question, and it is also what Xu Tianyu wants to ask the most.
The little monk nodded, "Yes, Master Abbot has already told me, but if he doesn't leave, I won't leave either." ”
Xu Tianyu was even more puzzled in his heart, but if he wanted to know more about the situation, he could only wait for the abbot to wake up.
At this time, the body of the master above the bed trembled slightly, and finally there were signs of awakening, only to see his eyelids trembling violently for a while, as if after a long struggle, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Why am I still alive?"
Xu Tianyu was a little speechless, why did these two people wake up with this sentence.
Seeing that the abbot master came to life, the little monk had a happy expression on his face, and he said excitedly, "Master abbot, it was this benefactor who saved us. ”
The abbot's cloudy eyes suddenly burst into a gleam, and he noticed that there was an outsider in front of the bed, an outsider who had not seen it, and even an outsider who should not have appeared.
"This benefactor, you ...... Who is it? Why is it able to cure the poison in our bodies?" said the abbot, whose long-term weakness had made him almost lose the ability to speak.
"My name is Xu Tianyu, I'm here to verify something, I didn't expect you to become like this here, can the master tell me what happened here?"
"Please answer me first, why can we solve the poison in our body. The abbot said awkwardly, as if it were a very important matter.
Xu Tianyu was silent for a while, he was thinking about whether to expose the matter of the relics, if he didn't say anything, obviously the abbot wouldn't reveal anything to him.
After a full minute of silence, Xu Tianyu finally made up his mind, he did not answer the abbot's words, but stretched out a hand, palm up. In the curious eyes of the abbot and the little monk, a small crystal clear bead appeared in the palm of his hand, dripping and spinning.
The beads glowed emerald green, illuminating the otherwise dimly lit room. Within the range of its glow, you can even feel a noticeable rise in temperature.
The moment he saw this bead, the abbot sat up excitedly, his face flushed, and he did not have the same weak and old appearance as before.
Then he made an amazing move.
Ignoring the weakness of his body, the abbot rolled under the bed and bowed his head.
