After all, the future is too ethereal, the road under their feet is full of thorns and bumps, this group of displaced people who have been disturbed by the war, looking sadly at the sky full of yellow sand, but also beware of the thieves and rogues who sprang out from time to time. Xu had Monk Chen as an attachment, and the homeless people began to speed up their pace, and they no longer deliberately avoided it, they just wanted to reach Longshou County as soon as possible, so that they could have another place to live.

Along the way, starvation was everywhere. Seeing that this is already the case for dozens of miles outside Luoyang City, the rest of the land in the Later Tang Dynasty is even more difficult for the people to make a living. The great monk traveled again and again, but he didn't say much, just recited the Buddha's name, and overtook the soul of the dead who should not die.

The smoke of the border of the Later Tang Dynasty rose again, and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in Mobei were in danger. The later Zhou invaders became more and more unscrupulous, no longer satisfied with forcible seizures, and still wanted to get their hands on the territory of the Later Tang Dynasty. It's just that these tragic truths are impossible for them to know at this time.

In the past few years, there has been a great drought in the Later Tang Dynasty, with rare rainfall, and no grain in the land. In addition, there are years of civil strife, and there are disputes between feudal towns, and the people are already struggling to make a living. This journey has only been half a day, and several people have fallen on the way. At first, the dust monk would come to the rescue, but as more and more people fell, the dust monk couldn't help.

The Buddha said that "all sentient beings are universal", all sentient beings are suffering, and the Buddha is also suffering. Although they can receive it together, they can't cross it all, the Buddha is in their hearts, but there is no bowl and golden wheel in their hands. Gu Xing didn't want to think about how many people they had fallen on the way to hope along the way, and how many people had died in other places.

If you think that you can persist in the present, you have to pay great hardships and hardships to get to where you are now. It's just that the closer you get to hope, the greater the pressure. It's like an inflated blister, just a touch of it and it will melt into nothing.

There was not a trace of the sun overhead, but there was an endless cold wind. Constantly whipping the thin and broken bodies of the homeless, hindering their progress little by little.

Monk Lichen's lips began to crack, and it was perhaps the blessing of the Buddhists' inner family that allowed him to stand tall without eating or drinking for several days. As one man collapsed on the road, a wave of despair began to creep in among the homeless.

Walking on this unfamiliar road, to pursue the hope that can be met but not found, what an absurd thing, it seems tragic and ridiculous.

When everyone was hungry and tired, Chen Fusheng suddenly shouted to stop everyone and ran forward quickly. ran a hundred or so steps and leaned over to the ground, and his face slowly became solemn. Gu Xing didn't hesitate, ran to Chen Fusheng's side, and Monk Lichen also followed, and the three of them just stared at the front indifferently, the bare mountain beam that had long lost its vitality.

"How far is it from Longshou County?" Finally, Gu Xing couldn't help asking. Xu deviated from the original route, and he was a little stunned and frightened at the unfamiliar path in front of him. It's been a long time since I've felt this way, and when I'm running alone, I'll look up at the stars at night when I can't sleep, worrying about tomorrow.

Now a young man who is almost eighteen, the people around him have left him one by one, and the two people on his side at this time don't know when they will leave.

Monk Lichen clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, you will rest for a while, and then we can set off when we find out the direction." This sentence was said to the homeless people behind him, and at this moment, they looked forward to the dust monk and Ma Ma, and pinned all their hopes on him.

But this hope is often accompanied by wear and tear and despair, just like the deceased who died on the way, they may also have a stronger expectation, which will turn into resentment after death, and will turn into the karma of the dust monk, so that he will not be able to be reborn and transcend after death.

But at this moment, what the three of them need to face is the current predicament. There seemed to be no smoke of gunpowder ahead, but there was a faint sound of horses' hooves trampling and neighing, according to the sound of the sound, it was estimated that it was only seventy or eighty miles away, and if they could not find a place to stay and hide before dark, there was a high probability that they would be encountered.

And if they encounter bandits, they may become what others call "two-legged sheep"!

Gu Xing didn't know, but Chen Fusheng and Monk Lichen had a deep understanding. After experiencing the baptism of all kinds of tribulations in the rivers and lakes and temples, these two people had feelings when they fought just now. This kind of indifference of sympathy and mutual exclusion is the only reliance on the survival of people in the rivers and lakes.

Now, they can only come together to deal with the crisis that may arise next......

Gu Xing, with his natural keen awareness, caught a trace of potential danger. But at this moment, the displaced people behind him gathered, the target was too big, and a long journey was definitely not the best choice, if it was really as he guessed, there were two armies facing each other in the distance at this time, then they would inevitably be affected by the pond fish.

Monk Lichen couldn't make up his mind, and asked, "Two donors, is there a way to solve the situation?" ”

At this moment, the mountain wind is blowing strongly, and the wind and sand are blind. But even if you don't open your eyes, you can feel the smell of blood that permeates the surrounding mountains. This long-lasting bloody breath that permeates the air brings an irrepressible fear and despair. Because no one knows if the blood-stained Pu knife will fall on his neck in the next moment, and then leave this human purgatory in despair and grief.

When I was very young, I often heard my elders mention that I should be in awe when I pass by the ancient battlefield, where there are too many ownerless lonely souls and heroic souls who died in battle. These souls, who have been unwilling to be reincarnated for a long time, will have grudges that will not be eliminated during their lifetime, and will also fall into endless torment after death.

And this torture, which has no end from the beginning, continues. It's just that the person carrying the knife doesn't know which one, and dying has become a luxury, and everyone is desperately, hard, and difficult to live. The absence of faith means despair, and the emptiness of the spirit means the need to fill with killing and destruction.

Man's quest has become simpler and simpler, in exchange for deeper killing and sin! This is the appeal of the times, and it is also the deepest desire of everyone's heart. "At the beginning of man, the nature of goodness" was trampled and ravaged by the feet, there are no sons and hundreds of schools, only ten thousand laws are one.

This is a time of despair, like the outcasts behind the three of them at this moment. Monk Lichen suddenly remembered his original intention of joining Buddhism, but he surrounded and asked for a place to live and eat a full meal. It was only after decades of immersion in Buddhism and traveling all over the world that I had more expectations in my heart.

Class is predestined from birth, but there are often people who are unwilling to compromise and fight hard! The prince will have a kind of Xiangning! This is the first sentence that Chen Sheng shouted thousands of years ago, and the heroes who emerged in the future were reckless, no matter how much they despised this roar, they silently put it in their hearts!

Chen Fusheng finally spoke: "Twenty miles ahead, there is a river valley. The low-lying terrain is only accessible by a small road, which can be used to hide the tracks. When the danger has passed, I will wait before we hit the road. As he spoke, he took out a beast skin from his bosom, and the beast skin outlined the terrain here, but it was a little broken for a long time.

A smile appeared on the corner of Monk Lichen's mouth, but he asked with some doubts: "Master Chen, it is a capital crime to hide the topographic map privately, and the donor has such courage to make the poor monk admire!" ”

Chen Fusheng's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and then he said with a smile: "The master's words make the kid honestly afraid. This animal skin is only occasional, which is more important than the 'secret treasure of animal bones'. ”

Gu Xing and Monk Lichen were shocked at the same time, and they didn't know why Chen Fusheng would point out the strange things that must be fought for in the world here. Seeing that Chen Fusheng didn't move, the two of them followed the direction that Chen Fusheng raised his hand to point, both of them showed horror on their faces, and exclaimed in unison, "There is such a thing?" ”

What Chen Fusheng was referring to was the child and the old woman. The thing in the old woman's hand is like a beast bone, and its appearance is not good, but it is the secret treasure of the beast bone that the world must fight for at this time. The "Beast Bone Vault", which is regarded as a treasure by many powerful people, is now being held by the old woman in her hand and slapping her knees in the twilight, which really makes people cry and laugh.

Seeing that the three of them were brushing together, the old woman was not the slightest surprised. Instead, Jean was still helping her to stand up and walk towards the three of them. Seeing this, the three hurriedly stepped forward, but the old woman waved her hand to stop the three of them, and said in a hoarse voice: "But I saw the beast bones in the hands of the old woman, this group of homeless people didn't know it, but I didn't expect you three outsiders to know it." ”

Monk Lichen took three steps back, "Monks shouldn't be contaminated with this cause and effect, now that they see it, it's just that." The old woman had a strange look on her face, "Master, if the old woman gives this thing to you, are you willing to accept it?" ”

Monk Lichen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and only slowly spoke after a while, "If it was ten years ago, the poor monk would never have hesitated, but today, the poor monk has stopped his heart, and the deceit in the world is no longer disturbed, so this beast bone is just an ordinary beast bone for the poor monk, and there is no difference." ”

The old woman smiled sullenly when she heard this, "The old woman has gone all the way, and she has seen that the master has a kind of extraordinary spirit, and before she came to become a monk, she must have been under the command of a certain general, who was dressed in great military exploits, and her hands were stained with a lot of blood......

The dust monk sighed and recited the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, all the past, no need to mention it." Today, there are only dust monks in the world, and there is no one else. At this time, Chen Fusheng and Gu Xing were even more suspicious in their hearts, if they met an old acquaintance, it would be enough. The old woman in front of her didn't look like an old man from an ordinary family, and she had an air of not being angry and arrogant.

The two were thinking about it, but the old woman handed the beast bone to Gu Xing, "Young man, you once rescued my ancestors and grandchildren, and the old woman couldn't repay it, so she gave you this beast bone." The repayment is in order, since the master doesn't want it, then the young man, you, must accept it. ”

Gu Xingshuang Sohu trembled, he had touched this thing, and those who were keen on power died because of this thing. At this moment, this beast bone appeared in front of him without the slightest hindrance, how could it not make him tremble. If it is next, will the doom engraved on the bones of this beast befall him?

The old woman hesitated to move forward, then stepped forward and stuffed the beast bone into his hand, and then said earnestly: "Three, do you want to hear the story?" ”
