Chapter 144: Eight Hundred Bhikshunis
The skeleton sat cross-legged on the shore with its back to them, its head slightly lowered into the water, as if looking at something.
What is it looking at? Ling Lao Er has no time to think.
"Ahh
Zero Zero Three glanced at him and said coldly, "Didn't I ever be a dead man?"
When Ling Lao Er heard this, he suddenly let go of the hand holding his waist like an electric shock, looked at him embarrassedly, and then looked at the skeleton sitting in the pool.
"It'...... Will it be ...... Suddenly come back to the sun?" Ling Lao Er asked cautiously. All he wanted to ask was whether the skeleton would suddenly stand up from the shore.
Zero Zero Three said: "Even if it can really return to yang, it will no longer be a real person." ”
"What's that?" Ling Lao Er asked.
"White Bone Spirit. Zero Zero Three said.
He no longer paid attention to Ling Lao Er, and walked straight towards the skeleton, and said as he walked, "In the end, you still came here......
"Do you know it?" Ling Lao Er asked. Could it be that the old person that Zero Zero Three is looking for is it?
However, this man had rotted into a pile of bones, and how could Zero Zero Three tell that this was the one he was looking for?
Moreover, this person will become like this, which proves that it has been dead for a long time, and it looks like Zero Zero Three is only in his thirties at most, so it shouldn't be it, right?
Zero Zero Three walked towards the skeleton, and Ling Lao Er saw this, although he was reluctant, he also followed him.
When he got closer, he realized that there was not only one skeleton here, but also a skeleton, hidden in the water!
The skeleton in the water was noticeably smaller than the skeleton on the shore, and it was leaning on the shore and soaking in the water, which was not deep and the water was fairly clear. Ling Lao Er clearly saw that the part of the skeleton above the waist was exposed outside the pool water, and the place below the waist was not a human leg, but a long fishbone!
"Mermaid bones?!" Ling Lao Er exclaimed.
The one who was soaked in the water turned out to be a mermaid!
He turned his eyes and saw that the one sitting on the shore had his head bowed, and the direction he was looking at seemed to be where the mermaid bones were!
"So, is that rumor true?" Li Lao Wu sat in the forest and asked Zero Zero.
"What rumors?" asked the little sister.
"Rumors of eight hundred bhikshunis. Li Lao Wu said.
"Eight hundred bhikshunis?" the younger sister heard about it for the first time, so she asked, "Bhikshunis, I know, is one of the five Buddhist monks, and refers to a woman who has entered the Buddhist sect and practiced asceticism, also known as a nun." These 800 bhikshunis...... Is it the meaning of 800 nuns?"
Zero Zero Three suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" said the little sister with a little dissatisfaction.
"At that time, Ling Lao Er also asked me the same question. Zero Zero Three said.
"That was a legend from a long time ago, and no wonder she didn't know. Li Lao Wu said.
"A legend from a long time ago?" asked the little sister. She looked at them with some confusion and said, "Even if it's a legend, how can there be no relevant records in the database in the Peach Blossom Garden?"
She frowned, if there was, she couldn't possibly be completely unaware.
"Do you know how historians in ancient times recorded history?" asked Li Laowu.
"Of course it's ......" Xiaomei's face suddenly changed, the historians of ancient times would not write "history" completely based on history, and the emperor's preferences would occupy a large part of the factor. Sometimes, the official history is not necessarily the official history, and the wild history may not really be the wild history.
"Could it be...... This is also related to Peach Blossom Spring?" the little sister touched her chin and said in a heavy tone.
And it must not be a good thing, otherwise, there wouldn't be a little bit of a record in the database!
Zero Zero Three and Li Lao Wu glanced at each other......
Since ancient times, there have been many legends about mermaids.
Some people say that mermaids have beautiful faces, clear voices, can spin and weave, and tears become beads. Others say that the mermaid has an ugly face and a foul smell all around it. But no matter what kind of legend it is, they all have one thing in common, that is, the mermaid is the image of a human body and a fishtail.
Sometimes, a mermaid has only one tail, while sometimes, a mermaid has two tails growing under its waist.
Hundreds of years ago, there was a story about a small village called Wakasa where a fisherman moved into the village one day.
The fisherman invited the people of the village to his house for dinner, and one of them happened to pass by the fisherman's kitchen on his way up to the hut, and he suddenly smelled a strange aroma wafting from the kitchen, and he wondered what it was, and it was so fragrant! He had never smelled it before!
Is this a fisherman cooking? What is it that smells so good?" the man thought.
He couldn't help but walk over to the kitchen window and peek inside curiously.
He noticed that a fish was boiling in the fisherman's pot, but it was not the same as a normal fish. This fish has a human upper body!
Although the fish in the pot was already cooked badly, he could clearly see that it was a human body!
The fisherman had his back to him and stood by the window staring intently at the mermaid in the pot. The man couldn't read the fisherman's expression clearly, but because of that, he felt extremely terrifying.
This fisherman who suddenly moved in turned out to cook a monster with a human body and a fishtail for everyone to eat!
The man kept his mouth shut and quietly walked away.
The smell of the kitchen was still wafting around, and the man made his way back to the crowd in the hall, panicking to tell everyone what he had seen. At this moment, the fisherman came out with the boiled mermaid.
Everyone pretended to be delicious, but no one dared to eat it.
"And what happened later?" asked the little sister.
Later, a man who was a little more daring secretly brought a piece of mermaid meat home to see what was so strange about it, but he was accidentally eaten by his daughter. The people of the village began to exclude the man's daughter. So she left the village and wandered from place to place. Zero Zero Three said.
His eyes suddenly became very distant, as if he was recalling the past: "One day, I happened to meet her, and at that time, she had lived for more than two hundred years. ”
"She is the legendary 'Eight Hundred Bhikshunis'. Li Lao Wu said: "Legend has it that she lived for more than 800 years and survived her seventh grandson. ”
"Legend has it that at the beginning of Wakasa, eight hundred monks complained about the slaughter. Tossing and turning his children and grandchildren for seven generations, he saw the windowsill full of greenery. No wonder there are such words on that wall......" Xiaomei couldn't help but sigh.
