Looking up at the sky, the sun barely opened his eyes. Standing up, he reminded, "Let's go!" The day was just over the top of my head, just in time for the temple to eat. ”

I really didn't expect that he was thinking about this bite of rice all the way, and Bai Bait didn't know what to say about him. Holding his hand, he slowly stood up, and said while putting on his hat: "It's still early this day, and I can definitely catch up with the meal." If you knew this was the case, why rush so much? Can make me tired ......"

She complained, but Jiang Li didn't take it seriously, just smiled: "Didn't calculate the time, mistakes, mistakes......"

"The ability to grasp time should be a must-have skill for killers! You... What's going on? Could it be... Is the most powerful killer of the Divine Commander a fake? ”

"I'm sorry you found out......"

"Hmph, you liar, what about the bet you promised me?"

"Teach, definitely teach, you know, fake killers can also teach excellent apprentices."

"I believe you......"

He didn't take the wide path, and he had to go up the mountain from such a narrow and steep road, which he did on purpose.

One is to avoid the crowd and hide the identity of the fugitive, and the other is to test her endurance and perseverance, and find out the basic condition of her body and bones.

Originally, he thought that she was injured and that if she wanted to climb the mountain, it would definitely take more effort, so he naturally budgeted for a longer climbing time. But to his surprise, she not only completed the task of climbing the mountain, but also completed it in half the time he had budgeted.

Obviously, her body is recovering well, of course, he guesses, her current outstanding performance should be due to the high-intensity toil of being imprisoned, which tempered her endurance and perseverance, and also improved her strength. And her pace now is obviously many times faster than before, it should be the result of wearing heavy handcuffs and leg cuffs for a long time, which is equivalent to getting used to carrying weights forward, so she doesn't feel heavy, but once she loses her weight, she feels as light as a swallow, and her pace is naturally faster, including strength, which will also be greatly improved.

Jiang Li slowed down, slowly observed, and couldn't help but smile, this time, she was also a blessing in disguise.

"I'm leaving, hurry." Bai Bait stood in the distance, beckoning to him.

He rushed forward with an arrow: "It's coming!" ”

Skirting a path paved with stones, passing through flowers and trees, the two of them unconsciously turned into a wider road.

Through the shadows of the trees, you can glimpse that there are some high and low, large and small temples scattered along the way, some are located on the hills, some are standing on the side of the road, they are vermilion, the walls are pink and white, and there are also verdant pines and cypresses on both sides, which look beautiful and elegant, solemn and solemn.

In addition to the uproar of birds and birds, the noise of some crowds gradually came, mixed with the intermittent cries of babies and the unknown choking sounds.

Bai Bait couldn't help but wonder a little, and then quickened his pace, and through the shade of the trees, his vision became more and more wide, and he could clearly see that the temple was full of refugees.

The footsteps of the two couldn't help but slow down, and the strange eyes of the refugees were projected one after another, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

Bai Bait approached a temple, and to her shock, there were not only golden Buddha statues, but also piles of refugees, and the whole house was filled with refugees. Curled up in ragged clothes, they sat along the wall in a full circle, and in the open space in the middle sat a circle of people, back to back, close to each other, to keep each other warm.

What's even more incredible is that the golden-bodied Buddha statue is smiling, and its eyes are full of the love of all beings, but it is naked, and it is really dazzling to look at!

Bai Bait's eyes moved down sharply, and he saw three people standing barefoot behind the desk where the Buddha statue was enshrined, with only one piece of clothing hanging on their bodies, still torn, their skin exposed, and their bodies trembling. If you don't look closely, you don't know that the blackened thing in their hands is the Buddha's clothes!

The original golden Buddha robes were obviously dilapidated, and they each held a corner in their hands, pulling back and forth, arguing, and no one would let anyone. An old grandmother pointed out under the desk and severely condemned: "You are disrespectful to the Buddha, you will be punished!" ”

The three of them continued to argue and didn't pay attention to Grandma's intentions.

Bai Bait only felt a little chill on his back, in the past in Qinhuai, the people all believed in Buddhism, and had always been devout to the Buddha, even if it was a cold home, a Buddha statue would be enshrined at home, and there was a headache and brain fever or a happy event at home, all of them had the habit of worshiping the Buddha and petitioning. But now, they are forced to live in the temple, share a room with the Buddha, and even rob things with the Buddha, and put them in the past, which is called blasphemy against the Buddha.

Jiang Li held Bai Bait and asked with concern: "Bai Bait, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm fine." Bai Bait came back to his senses and said lightly, his voice a little low.

"These are supposed to be refugees who were forced up the mountain." As Jiang Li casually said, this situation is not strange, and when he investigated other temples before, these images were everywhere, and even more terrifying than this. "Let's go!"

Along the way, there are more and more refugees, and some even fight for the temple, they just want to find a better place to stay, which can shelter from the wind and rain. Those who could not fight, or who were unable to fight, had to live outside the temple, on the side of the road, or resting on the hill, or leaning on the trunk of a tree, and they were shivering in the cold wind, their faces were blue and purple, their skin was like the bark of a tree, and their limbs were not as thick as the branches of a tree.

For them, as long as they do not move, they can temporarily conserve their strength, or as long as they fall asleep, they will not feel hunger and cold, but those who seem to be asleep have their eyelids fluttering from time to time, their chapped lips are blown white by the wind, their lips are bitten out of blood, their tongues can't help but lick out, and their throats slide hard, as if they have tasted a precious sweetness.

Bai Bait retracted his gaze and suddenly asked, "Will you leave, do you believe in Buddhism?" "Beautiful book

"I don't believe in Buddhism, most of the beliefs of many people come from the local area, Nanjing does not believe in Buddhism, nor does it accept Buddha, Nanjing Yun people have always only believed in themselves, they firmly believe that people will win the sky, things are man-made, everything in the world is created by people, all difficulties are also created by people, killing, disputes, and all inequalities. If they can create difficulties, they will naturally be able to solve them. In the face of the irresistible forces of nature, they think that they are a warning from nature, and then they will restrain their actions. ”

I don't know the reason for the white bait's question, Jiang Li just replied lightly.

Bai Bait nodded, did not speak, she sighed secretly in her heart: Yes! After this catastrophe, perhaps more people will no longer believe in Buddhism!

Many people believe that the reason for the prosperity and peace of Li Sang is due to the blessing of the Buddha, including the royal family. The monarch's enlightened politics is true, but without the Buddha's heavenly protection, prosperity and peace would not have occurred. This is one of the reasons why Buddhism was so popular in Lisang.

"Do you believe that?" Will leave asked curiously.

"I don't believe it. Since the age of six, he has not believed it. Bai Bait said firmly.

In a blink of an eye, the two people did not realize that they had arrived at the main gate of Jinming Temple, a high archway stood in front of them, two huge stone pillars were engraved with a couplet, the eaves on the plaque flew high like a phoenix tail riding the wind, a series of reliefs related to auspiciousness were entrenched on it, the three words of "Jinming Temple" were clustered among them, and the pen was vigorous and powerful.

Just looking at it, Jiang Li suddenly kept shaking her hand, and said anxiously: "Bai Bait, look at it-"

She frowned, and couldn't help but look towards the archway, the long white platform was stacked up, and there was no end in sight, and at the top, you could see the eaves of the Jinming Temple hall floating in the air, like a tiger's sharp eyes, looking down on all beings.

And on the long staircase were two long lines of refugees from the neighborhood, as if begging for porridge.

The two of them went up a few steps in discouragement, and at this moment a slightly younger man walked down with his head bowed and looked in the direction, as if he had come out of the main hall.

When the man slapped them as he passed by, he babbled, as if to remind them: "Let's go!" Can't be ranked. Hundreds of people can only supply three buckets of porridge a day, and now the last bucket is almost at the bottom! Don't count on it. ”

After saying it in a very frustrated tone, he shook his head and left with a sigh.

"Eh-" White Bait wanted to ask something more, but it seemed too late. A complaining voice suddenly came from his ears: "I was still expecting to catch up with the fast, but this time it's good, I can't even drink the porridge!" Alas......"

Bai Bait looked at the team of the mountain, and sighed secretly, who expected, Jiang Li suddenly asked: "Bai Bait, are you hungry?" ”

"Sort of." Looking at his strange eyes, she replied quietly.

"I'm going now, I should be in a hurry! You wait here, and if necessary, hide! Jiang Li frowned and instructed very seriously.

Seeing this, Bai Bait's heart suddenly became uneasy, looking at his posture, should he be robbing?

She immediately grabbed him: "What are you going to do?" ”

Jiang Li was a little wooden, and said, "Take the porridge!" ”

"How?" She asked.

"Of course it is......" he waved his wrist, his muscles rattling.

Bai Bait took a deep breath and said angrily: "I knocked a mallet on your brain!" A killer snatched food from refugees? You're not afraid of being laughed at? ”

"We're refugees too!" Jiang Li retorted.

Obviously, Jinming Temple can't live, eat, or settle down. Bai Bait calmed down his good mood, pulled Jiangli's arm, straightened his body, and asked awe-inspiringly: "Didn't you say that you don't believe in Buddhism?" If you don't believe in Buddhism, why eat Buddha's food? ”

With that, he turned around and carried him straight down the steps.

"Hey, hey, hey." Jiang Li was a little overwhelmed, and asked puzzledly: "What are you going to do?"

"Man will win the day!"

The five words melt into the wind, as crisp as a flower bell.

At the top of the mountain in the afternoon, clouds and mist surround the trees, and winter insects hide in the grass and hiss. On a large rock, a group of refugees was entrenched, and they were making noise. At some point, a few refugees climbed up the hillside and blended in.

"Did you hear that? Did you hear that? At the foot of the mountain, there is a flower boat floating on the Qinhuai River, there is a beautiful girl on the boat, like a fairy descending to earth, not only looks like a country and a city, but also has a mysterious method, no wind can rise blue waves, only one hand can move the flower boat! ”

The clouds and fog did not stop, and the noise intensified.
