Abu bowed to the brocade-clothed man, and then asked why. A house slave next to him spoke first: "Seeing that the doctor is also a person with status, you don't care about this pickled demon." It's really no wonder that my son-in-law is doing this. ”
"That's it, doctor, stay away from him, this demon is a big liar."
"He said that he could turn things away, but as a result, he came out to cheat if he didn't work, and he was really not afraid of the wind and flashed his tongue."
For a while, there were different opinions, and the Taoist man lay flat on the ground as if appointed, with his eyes closed, and he didn't say a word. However, Abu also roughly understood the general situation of the matter, and this Taoist walked so far, because he was penniless, he sold his art on the street, saying that he could do magic and could melt metal. The onlookers were skeptical at first, but then they saw him take out a clay pot with a pungent smell of liquid, and when a piece of iron was put into it and stirred with a glass stick, the iron piece disappeared. Someone who did not believe in evil gave him a copper plate, threw it in, and after stirring it still disappeared.
Everyone was amazed, but they were all applauded. Most people have an inexplicable sense of awe and fear of the unknown. The Taoist is not a person who can speak the Tao, and the scene is a little cold.
At this time, a young man in a red brocade robe and a house slave also came over to watch the excitement, and someone recognized him as the second son of the state capital, and told him about the skills of this Taoist. After hearing this, the second son was a little unbelieving, touched his body for a long time, and finally took off a small Buddha statue from his neck, handed it to this Taoist and asked him to try, saying that this is made of pure gold, and they all said that real gold is not afraid of fire refining, are you still afraid that you will not succeed in this spell.
The Taoist seems to be a person with a brocade dress and a jade face, and then a house slave, this person is either rich or expensive, and sees the delicate outline of this little Buddha, lifelike, he knows that the value is extraordinary, and he begs bitterly and does not want to test. But the second son thought that this person was a fallacy to confuse the crowd and confuse all sentient beings, and insisted that he use the Buddha statue for experimentation. The Taoist had no choice but to put the Buddha statue into the clay pot. In the end, everyone found that the Buddha statue had not been dissolved.
After the Taoist washed the Buddha statue, he also said to the house slaves, saying that the Buddha statue was so beautiful that he did not dare to destroy it. Everyone accused him of having a hard mouth, and he couldn't melt it when he encountered real gold, and he was still blowing the conch here.
The second son is also angry, if he doesn't dare, he can test it again, and he doesn't need to be compensated for the damage. But the Taoist said that he would not try again, and let everyone blame. The onlookers were aggressive, accusing him of being a demon and playing a deceitful trick, but he also let it go, and finally suffered a severe beating.
When Abu heard someone say that the iron and copper plates had been dissolved, his heart immediately beat violently several times. He already roughly understood the ins and outs of it, and at the same time, he also knew the hidden value of this Taoist on the ground. So he turned around and bowed to everyone: "Calm down, everyone, the Buddha taught us to be kind and generous." To be kind to others is to be kind to yourself, to be forgiving and forgiving. I hope everyone can let him go. If anyone has any loss, I am willing to compensate twice. If this son has any loss, I am willing to give it twice. ”
The man just now saw the excitement, and he got a copper plate again, so he stopped shouting. The second son looked at Abu and insisted on taking care of the matter; In addition, he didn't have any big losses, so he didn't continue, pointing to the Taoist on the ground and saying, "I just can't get used to people like you who bewitch the public and deceive the rivers and lakes." Since the doctor wants to save you, I will spare your dog's life for the time being. Walk! He bowed his hand to Abu and took his minions with him, and walked away. The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, leaving only Abu and Daoren, as well as Yun Niang and Alimu and others who came later.
At this time, when the Taoist saw the crowd around him leave, he opened his eyes slightly, and while struggling to sit up, he smiled miserably at Abu, and said: "Why should this Langjun save a dying person like me, a person like me is a cheap life, and it is not a pity to die, don't dirty your hands." ”
Abu hurriedly held him down and said, "Immortal Chief, be careful, you have an injury to your leg now, don't move around, I have fixed it, it needs to be carefully examined, and slowly recuperate." Although you believe in the Tao, there is a cloud in the Dharma, all living beings are equal, and if someone is in trouble, how can you see it and not save it. ”
He beckoned Alimu and the car owner, carefully carried the Taoist into the ox cart, and at the same time collected the small parcels, bottles and cans brought by the Taoist to the cart. summoned an ox cart again, let Yun Niang, who was holding Wu Ye, go up, let Alimu sit in the front car, lead the way in front, and get into the car himself and continue to move forward.
The Taoist leaned silently on the carriage, the blood in his nostrils had stopped, but the pain in his left leg continued. As the car jolted, the pain in the heart would stimulate his brain from time to time, always reminding him of what had just happened. If I had really dissolved that delicate little Buddha statue at that time, wouldn't the result be better? More likely, it is estimated that he has been killed! Thinking of the accusatory words of the onlookers, as well as the faces of those arrogant house slaves, a sense of incomprehension of misery welled up in my heart.
This well-dressed and polite Lang Jun seems to be a character with status, so why save himself? Is there any plan that can't be achieved? Then he smiled bitterly, a person like himself has a cheap life, what is the value of being plotted? Or do you say that you have met the noble person that others say? Generally speaking, this young man has clear eyes, knows etiquette and reason, and should not be a bad person, alas, take one step at a time. He was distracted, and he sat there thinking wildly.
In the other car, Yun Niang looked at Abu, only to see that sometimes her eyebrows fluttered, sometimes the corners of her mouth shook uncontrollably, and sometimes she couldn't help but laugh, which was completely different from the calm and funny in the past. The Taoist that Yun Niang wanted to rescue wouldn't really be the so-called demon Dao, and he would be able to do evil magic, so that Abu fell for the evil magic. She couldn't help but worry: "Are you okay?" ”
Abu looked at Yun Niang, and couldn't help grinning again: "You make me happy first, I'm really happy today." ”
Seeing that Yun Niang's eyebrows were a little worried, she couldn't help but laugh heartily again, pointed at Yun Niang and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry, I'm just happy, today is a treasure, hahaha." ”
Seeing that Wu Ye was a little moved, Yun Niang said that you should be quiet. Abu calmed down a little and stabilized his emotions, and he said to Yun Niang: "I told you about the theory of water bowls before, in the replacement of the world, the lives of generations are multiplied, and occasionally some extraordinary wise people will appear. But they are often intolerant of the world, and are often suppressed and persecuted by those who indulge in joy and reality as heretics and alternatives. Their fate is usually miserable, and they are displaced and hungry. If I'm not bad, this Taoist may be one of those people. He may not be able to change the current status quo, but he is most likely to be a catalyst for speeding up the course of history. ”
Yun Niang never expected that the dying Taoist had such a high evaluation in Abu's mind, and she couldn't help but doubt: "Could you be wrong?" ”
"I've been here for a few years now, and I've been looking for a technique that maybe he's mastered. If that's the case, I don't have to run around anymore and I can speed up a lot of things. Taking a step back, even if I look away, it is not a bad thing to do more good deeds and save people's lives. ”
Yun Niang was relieved. With the stop of the bullock cart in front, it has already driven to the inn.
