Chapter 51: Heavy Rain
"I know that. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info" Mingtu frowned slightly, "I mean another purpose. β
Xue Ying looked up at her and didn't speak, half pretending to be stupid, half showing that she had nothing to say.
"Oh, I don't want to say it, forget it, I'm not interested anyway. Mingtu waved his hand and looked up at the sky, "After drinking the porridge, you can go back, it will rain in the next few days, so you won't have to look for me." β
Xue Ying was about to nod, but Master Mingtu had already disappeared without a trace. She looked up and muttered, "It's been nice weather......"
But it didn't take long for Xue Ying to be slapped in the face, she walked back after eating, and just saw the temple gate, the sky had suddenly changed, and the raindrops of beans had come murderously almost instantly.
She trotted all the way back to the gate of Ganxiao Temple, glad that she did not delay on the road, although she sprinkled a few drops of rain on her body, but did not drench into a soup chicken.
Mingxin was guarding the door, and was relieved when he saw Xue Ying: "Fortunately, you rushed back, it's not easy to rain in this mountain, and something will happen if you are not careful." β
Xue Ying nodded, and looked back with palpitations, but in an instant, the rain had already shown a downpour state, accompanied by the wind sweeping through the trees, and the originally sunny sky was now gloomy, reflecting the mountains extremely hideously.
"Why are you here?" she asked.
Mingxin crossed her and looked at the bottom of the mountain: "Uncle Numerology said that someone is coming today, let me wait here." β
Xue Ying couldn't help but follow her gaze, her vision was blocked by the heavy rain, and everything was hazy, but more than ten meters away, everything was already blurred.
"Are you wet? Go to the bathhouse for a while, don't catch a cold. Mingxin touched her head.
Xue Ying was about to nod, but Mingxin's eyes were suddenly attracted by something, and she let out a "huh".
Xue Ying turned around, under the mountain road, a figure faintly appeared at the end of the line of sight, and when people approached, they found that it was a young woman, full of sadness, who was trudging through the heavy rain. The rain soaked through her patched clothes, and the mountain breeze blew through the coldness that made her shiver. It's just that all these difficulties don't seem to hit her, and she still goes up step by step, weak and firm.
When he arrived at the gate of the mountain, Mingxin folded his hands: "Amitabha." β
The young woman folded her hands and bowed deeply, pleading sincerely, even crying because she was holding back her grief: "Master, I have come to the Thanksgiving Temple to ask for peace charms, and I ask Master to show mercy and save my husband." β
"Uncle Mingli said that you can't live if you do your own evil, and you can't give this peace charm to the Filial Piety Temple. β
"How can I not give it?" said the lady, kneeling down sharply, her face full of anxiety and pleading, "I beg you, I will do anything to keep my husband safe." β
"Amitabha, no fate, helpless. β
"Little Master," said the young woman, looking sad, "isn't the Buddhist family a universal sentient being? Poor my husband's life is on the verge of death, and there are two lonely elders and three children in the family, if he has any three elders and two shorts, we orphans and widows will not be able to live." Please, be merciful, save our family!" said that, he kept kowtowing on the ground, and the heavy muffled sound made Xue Ying, who was listening on the sidelines, couldn't help but have a headache.
"Donor, Buddha crosses all beings, but Ganxiao Temple only crosses people who are destined, donor, please go back. Mingxin made a gesture to see off the guest.
Xue Ying was shocked. Although she had heard that it was not easy to enter here before she came to Ganxiao Temple, she didn't feel anything because she got the peace charm smoothly when she came. And now, Mingxin is very resolute in rejecting a guest who has come to ask for a peace charm after countless hardships, and his attitude is not relaxed in the slightest because of the sincerity of the other party and the importance of what he is asking forβthis is still the attitude expressed by the softest heart!
Wouldn't it be even more ruthless if it was a more serious Mingjing master?
Mingxin finished conveying the words, took a step back and closed the side door. Through the slowly closing gaze, the woman's last desperate look was deeply imprinted in Xue Ying's mind.
"What are you doing in a daze?" Mingxin woke her up.
"With such a heavy rain, don't you let that person in and take shelter?" Xue Ying asked. It's already afternoon, and it takes at least more than four hours to walk out of Ganxiao Temple to get to the place where people live, and it's still raining, so it's too cold to keep people out?
"Uncle Mingli said, no. Mingxin was very calm, "You are new to the city, and there are some things you don't understand, but there is one thing that must be remembered, what Uncle Mingli said, you must listen to it no matter what." β
"Oh. Xue Ying responded a little absentmindedly. There are not a few people she has seen in the past few days, but it obviously does not include this Master Mingli who has a special status in the Ganxiao Temple.
When she came to ask for the talisman, she didn't say anything just now, and Master Mingjing already knew her intention, and took out the red peace charm that she had prepared for a long time, and all of this was instructed by Master Mingli, so it seems that this Master Mingli is indeed outstanding.
A gust of mountain wind blew with the coolness of rain, and Xue Ying sneezed.
"Do you have a cold?" asked Mingxin with concern, "Let's go back and change your clothes." β
"Hmm. β
In the evening, instead of alleviating Xue Ying's symptoms, she began to feel nasal congestion and headaches. Judging from the symptoms, it should be accidentally caught a cold.
It's a remote place, and there's no one around to take care of it, so you can't get sick at this time.
Fortunately, she brought back an oil lamp for meditation at night, Xue Ying went out with the lamp and walked to the kitchen.
When I entered the kitchen, I found that there was a strong smell of medicine inside, but there was no one around, and even the stove had been extinguished.
Xue Ying took out a small stove from the corner with her impression, lit a fire to boil water, and then found a few pieces of old ginger and wanted to slice them, but found that the board was too high for her to reach.
She pressed her somewhat drowsy head, dragged over the small stool on which she usually sat on the fire, and stood up with some trepidation, secretly praying that she would not fall or cut her fingers unsteadily.
The kitchen knife was very heavy, and it was working hard in the dim light, and a voice came from the door: "Why are you here?"
Xue Ying was startled, the kitchen knife fell down with a "bang", and her body shook a little, but fortunately she didn't fall. Looking up, Master Mingjue had already walked in.
"What are you cutting ginger slices for?" asked Master Mingjue.
"I want to cook some ginger soup and drink it. β
Master Mingjue was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and reached out and touched her forehead: "It's a little feverish." Why don't you ask someone else for help?"
"Just make some soup, it's easy. β
Master Mingjue took her down, took a kitchen knife and cut it into shreds a few times, and said while cutting: "Although you came to Ganxiao Temple to practice, you don't have to walk on thin ice so much. Ganxiao Temple will not accept people easily, but if you do, it is your own person, understand?"
"Yes. β
The water was boiling, and Master Mingjue threw the ginger into the small pot and muttered: "None of the master and apprentice have any worries, just toss one and come again." β
Xue Ying remembered the smell of medicine she had just smelled and asked, "Is Master Mingtu sick?"
Mingjue sighed: "Sort of." As soon as it rains, it will hurt to death, and this time I am afraid that I will not be able to get up for several days. β
Xue Ying couldn't help but feel a little worried when she thought of the half-bucket water master whose behavior and appearance could be called "deviant".
Seeing her frowning, Mingjue patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, she's fine." Just now I was still thinking about how to toss you in the future, so you should worry about yourself first. β
Xue Yingyi.
