The barn fluttered in the air, like a drunken butterfly, obviously a bulky behemoth, but with a lightness that should not be there.
It is worthy of the bowl blessed by the Holy Bodhi day and night, even under the manipulation of the Holy White Lotus, it can do such an incomparably mysterious thing.
After all, it was the first time for Saint Bailian to fly a plane, and under her control, the barn flew crookedly, and the people inside were all up and down, and they couldn't stand steadily.
In the face of this exciting flight, the landlord and the steward were terrified.
"Don't come, don't come, please, little Nigong, let me go, let us go!!" Tears and snot erupted from the butler's face, and he clutched the shelf beside him, still trembling violently and feeling the fear of falling to his death.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, little Nigong, it's okay...... Be merciful! The butler pleaded.
"Yes, yes! I don't want to die, little Nigong, raise your noble hand and surround our lives! The landlord on the other side was also so frightened that his face turned blue, and while resisting the violent shaking, he half-squatted, hunched over, and leaned over to the side of the shelf, and looked obscene and frightened like a mouse that had been fattening.
"Ni Gong, Ni Gong, there are old people in my family, and there are young people in my family, go around me, I can't die! Oh yes, I'll donate, I'll donate grain, I'll give all the grain in the barn to the villagers! Please, raise your hands! The landlord tried several times but failed to catch the shelf, and the feeling of uneasiness sent chills down his body, as if death would come in the next moment.
The Holy White Lotus ignored the pleas of the two of themβnot that she didn't want to pay attention, but that she couldn't afford to pay attention. Letting the barn fly was beyond her ability, and although she did it with the power of the bowl, controlling the barn's flight had made her do her best, as for landing......
White Lotus didn't have the ability to land them safely.
"Sister......" Looking at the cold sweat on Bai Lian's face and the lips that turned pale, Ming Lian couldn't help but murmur worriedly, she grabbed the wooden frame and clinged to Bai Lian's back, she was afraid that Bai Lian, who was focused on controlling the barn, would accidentally let go of the wooden frame and fall out of the barn.
Hearing the voice of the life lotus, although Bai Lian was equally frightened and regretted her previous impulsive behavior, she couldn't show it, gritted her teeth, and she pretended to be calm and said:
"It's okay, Minglian, I'll take you to ...... safely"
Before he could finish his words, the divergence of attention brought about a violent shaking, and the next moment, the landlord's screams resounded throughout the barn.
The bloated man fell and slid swiftly towards the barn door, from which he would 100 percent die.
It is even more terrible than the pig cry heard when the pig is killed.
"Help! Help me! Help me! β
The landlord has lost his balance and his mind, and is dancing wildly in fear.
But this desperate move really saved his life - he grabbed the doorframe of the barn.
This exciting accident scared him to pee, and although the power that erupted between life and death temporarily saved his life, with his pampered fat body, he couldn't last long.
"Save ...... Save me! The landlord exerted all his strength to feed, and he felt that his left foot was about to cramp, and his hands were sweating incessantly, as if he might fall down at any moment.
Human life is at stake, not only the landlord is afraid, but Bai Lian is also extremely afraid and anxious, she doesn't know how she will continue her life after killing someone, and she doesn't have those messy thoughts in her heart, at this moment, she has only one thought - save people! She had to get this man up.
"Climb ......" While trying to keep the barn steady, Bai Lian said with great effort, "You only need to climb up halfway, and I can save you......"
Crawl? How easy is it to say? is a person who lacks exercise on weekdays, coupled with this series of fright, he has long lost his strength and heart, how can he rely on only one hand to prop himself up from the air?
The landlord was silent, tears flowed down his fleshy face, and life was about to pass, naturally with a pitiful sadness.
Just as despair counts down in silence, a man suddenly lets out a roar of rage, and hope is ignited in this roar.
"Ahhhhh!!hh
It's the housekeeper!
He let go of his grip on the wooden frame and took trembling steps towards the landlord.
At this time, the sunlight outside the barn suddenly pierced through the white clouds, hitting the light directly on this ordinary middle-aged man. He was afraid, he trembled, he sobbed, his face was twisted and ugly, like a toad in a deep pit, but there was no hesitation to be found in him.
At this moment, this butler shook the heart of the Holy White Lotus.
She watched as the ordinary man moved to the edge of the doorframe, and she watched as the cowardly man pressed one foot against the doorframe and grabbed the landlord with both hands. She looked down on him at first, and now, she only had shame in her heart.
Why did she look down on him? Isn't this butler much more noble than her Holy White Lotus?
What kind of good is the good she wants to do? Relief to the villagers? If she really wanted to do good, why didn't she divide her own grain, but instead borrow the surplus grain from the landlord's family to help her? Isn't that generosity? In the final analysis, what she pursues is nothing more than the hypocritical form of "doing good"! Her heart is full of selfish thoughts like "I want to be a great good person that everyone praises"!
Conversely, what about the butler? Is there any impurity in the good thoughts in his heart? Bai Lian thought about it now, the food that the housekeeper used to relieve their sisters was probably also the housekeeper's own quota, otherwise how could it be so simple to give them it? And now, in the face of such a scene, knowing that saving people might cost his own life, that ordinary man bravely walked over and reached out to help......
What pure compassion that is!
Although her heart was full of complicated and ashamed thoughts, Saint Bailian unexpectedly concentrated more, and she seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the fact that the butler pulled the landlord up halfway, she controlled the barn to tilt in the opposite direction, and suddenly, the two men rolled back to the inside of the barn.
The man was finally saved, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief for the time being
Although both men were softened, they still grabbed the wooden shelf beside them in time, afraid of falling down again - good luck is not always there.
"Ni, Nigong, you have also seen this, this is too dangerous, you better put us down quickly!" After relieving himself, the butler took the lead in speaking.
"I want to too...... But I can't get safe! Saint Bailian was also anxious, "Now this barn is flying very fast, and I don't know how to slow down, if it flies directly towards the ground, it will definitely crash into pieces." β
"Ah, what about that?" The housekeeper was a little desperate
"I don't know, now ......"
Before the Holy White Lotus finished speaking, dull clicks sounded one after another.
A wave has just flattened, and a wave has risen!
It was the sound of wood breaking, this barn, it was going to collapse......
