He felt a deep sense of helplessness, he would not see a doctor, he would not be able to heal, and it was said that this disease could not be cured. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But thinking of the eyes of those children, the next day he unknowingly took the steamed buns and went to the Land Temple.

Atonement? He couldn't tell, he just felt like he had to do something.

A few months passed, and he became familiar with the children. After the villagers tried to persuade him again and four times to no avail, they went with him, and in their consciousness, a person like him who was like Vajra Lux should not be infected by children!

But he was sick. On the thighs, which are not visible, there are many black spots.

One day he asked the children what their dreams were.

"I want to grow up to be a good man like my brother Lux and do the work of ten people by myself!"

"I want to wear beautiful new clothes", this is a girl.

"I want to eat a lot of good food."

"I want to see the sea, I've heard people say it's so big."

"I'm going too, I'm going too."

"I want to go to the city and worship the Iron Lion, and my mother said that the Iron Lion is the Bodhisattva's mount, and if he wants to manifest his spirit, he will make me well."

The six children were silent at the same time, yes, their greatest ideal, it was better to get better, but, is it possible?

This is the end of the fragment of the memory, Dongfang Xiao didn't expect his illness to be so serious, he has no way to make these children's illnesses better, but maybe he can fulfill their wishes.

Dongfang Xiao touched the thirty taels of silver in his arms, which was enough!

I haven't been here for nearly ten days, and when I saw the Land Temple in front of me, Dongfang Xiao felt a heavy breath.

He mustered up his strength and walked a few steps, pushed the door in, and saw several children, guarding in front of a small coffin, and the child named Xiao Kai was lying quietly in the coffin, motionless.

"What's going on?" Dongfang Xiao asked anxiously.

"Brother Lux, you're here!" Several children seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, rushed up together, hugged Dongfang Xiao's thighs, and cried: "Xiao Kai has been lying there for two days, and the fat aunt has already found someone to come and see it, and they said that they will find someone to nail the lid on today." ”

Dongfang Xiao reached out to Xiao Kai's nose and tried lightly, and there was still breathing, but it was very weak. When I touched my forehead, it burned badly. Looking at the root of the ear again, has the ulceration spread here?

Dongfang Xiao still remembers that this child very much wanted to go to the iron lion to see and ask the Bodhisattva to let him recover, but he was the first to fall ill!

Dongfang Xiao felt a little guilty, why didn't he scrape together enough money to take these children to the city, to the beach, and fulfill their wishes. Most of these children, who are nine years old and five years old, have never even been out of the village in their lives, but they can't fulfill such a simple wish.

At this moment, the fat aunt, who often delivered food, walked in with a few men from the village, who wrapped their heads and faces tightly, and held planks, hammers, and iron nails in their hands.

The children cried and begged: "Brother Lux, please, don't let those people nail Xiao Kai, he is still alive, he will get up and play with us, woo woo......"

Dongfang Xiao stood up, stretched out his arms to stop in front of the small coffin, and said, "I don't allow you to start so early!" ”

The man holding the plank among those men said: "Good man, don't embarrass us, you are a Zhuang guest of the Chai Daguan, we respect you for three points, but the affairs of these children were all said at the time, and if they die, they will be buried immediately." ”

The men looked at the children's bored and frightened eyes, revealing their inner thoughts, perhaps they wished that these children would all die sooner. So as to avoid the risk of being infected.

Dongfang Xiao roared angrily: "But that kid is still alive!" ”

The fat aunt persuaded: "But I'm dying!" How many days will he be able to survive? It's better to bury it early. ”

"Shut up!" Dongfang Xiao's eyes widened with anger, he had always thought that only the blood of the killer was cold. It turns out that when it comes to their own interests, ordinary people can be so cold-blooded!

The fat aunt was frightened and took a step back, and the man with the wooden board said dissatisfiedly: "Hero, we all respect you as a person and have done a lot of things for us, but don't go too far!" If I'm correct, you're sick too, aren't you? ”

"So what?" Dongfang Xiao said in a deep voice.

The man said: "If it's true, then the village won't be able to tolerate you, even if the Chai officials can't protect you!" Because at that time, we said that children could be raised, and once adults got sick, they had to be buried alive immediately! As he spoke, his own body trembled, and the men who followed him also trembled a little.

Fear, deep fear haunts the hearts of adults. Therefore, the children in this land temple have become a disease in the hearts of the whole village, including the parents of these children.

Dongfang Xiao's body shook a few times and said, "Do you want to do something to me?" ”

The fat aunt saw that the situation was not good, and sneaked out. The other men raised the hammer in their hands and gave themselves courage and said, "What if you are infinitely powerful? Now that we are sick like this, so many of us are not afraid of you! ”

Dongfang Xiao frowned deeply, what these people said was not bad, according to his current body, he was indeed not their opponent. Although those children couldn't help, they clenched their fists one by one, looking like they were cheering Dongfang Xiao on.

Dongfang Xiao comforted in his heart, and then gritted his teeth, even if it was for these children, he had to fight.

Those men cautiously approached Dongfang Xiao, and were about to make a move, when a voice sounded outside the Land Temple: "You are so majestic, are you bullying a group of children and a patient like this?" ”

"Who?"

Chao Chong and his group lined up outside the temple, Chao Chong said: "It's too small inside, come out to talk." ”

Those men hurriedly came out, and when they looked at the other side, they were shocked in their hearts, they helped in Chai Jin's house during the banquet yesterday, and they had seen these people. All of them are fierce people, killing people without blinking. The officials of Chai were very polite to them.

So he accompanied him and said carefully: "If you have anything to do, please command!" ”

Chao Chong looked at these villagers with some helplessness, knowing that the disease would be contagious, and he did not strengthen the guards of the Land Temple. knew that Dongfang Xiao often came and went, but he didn't remind him to take precautions. Obviously, Dongfang Xiao often helped the village to work, but he did not hesitate to put him to death.

There are many virtues in the people, kindness, honesty, selflessness, enthusiasm, and generosity. However, there are also many drawbacks.

Chao Chong took out a large ingot of silver from his bosom and threw it to them, "You will come back in a few days!" ”

"But ......"

Thunder took a step forward and said angrily: "But what! Didn't you hear my eldest brother's words? ”

Wu Song also said: "Don't leave quickly, you can't fight if you want to!" ”

As soon as the two strong men stepped forward, the men became timid, hurriedly answered, and fled in a hurry.

Only the fat aunt looked at it and said, "That big man is also sick, you should be careful." And then he left.

Chao Chong turned back to the crowd and said, "You heard them. Whether you get in or not, you decide. After saying that, he stepped in first.

When I looked back, Lei Ting, Chao Yang, Chao Sheng, Wu Song, and Shi Qian all followed.

Dongfang Xiao saw them come in and was moved: "Thank you!" ”

Chao Chong smiled, and his willingness to share weal and woe and take risks together is a good start for a team to trust each other. Chao Chong said: "Leprosy is transmitted through direct contact, if you don't touch anything, you will be fine!" ”

But he walked to Xiao Kai, who was lying in the small coffin, grabbed his hand, and put it on his pulse.

Shi Qian hurriedly said: "Didn't you say you can't touch it?" ”

Chao Chong looked up and smiled, "I'm an exception. In fact, Chao Chong knew how to diagnose the pulse, but by this appearance, he secretly used the "equivalent exchange" function of the golden finger to enter a trace of life force into the child's body, and with the entry of the warm current of life, the child's face began to be bloodshot, and the ulceration behind the root of the ear also began to scar.

Effective!

Chao Chong was secretly happy in his heart and stopped the input of the warm current of life. Stood up and shouted to Dongfang: "Come out and borrow a step to speak!" ”

The land temple is still too narrow, and it is too depressing to squeeze in so many people at once. After Dongfang Xiao followed everyone out, Chao rushed straight to the point and said, "You're sick too, right?" ”

"Yes!" Dongfang Xiao didn't want to hide it.

Chao Chong said: "You can't go to sea with me, can you?" ”

"Yes!"

"The thirty taels of silver, you didn't plan to pay it back from the beginning, right?"

"Yes!"

"Any ideas? Thirty taels of silver is not a small amount. ”

"I want to buy some new clothes for the children, go to the city to eat those famous snacks together, go to the iron lion to pray to the Buddha and worship the gods, and go to see the vast sea together. They were too young to leave the village in their entire lives. And they don't have much time. ”

"You don't have much time." Chao Chong showed no mercy.

"Yes!"

"Is that what those children want?"

"Yes!"

Chao Chong turned to the others and said, "What do you think?" ”

After all, Shen Tulie is a father who feels this most deeply, and when he sees the miserable situation of those children, he can no longer remain silent, and says: "My Buddha is merciful! The fact that this murderous maniac uttered words of mercy is enough to prove his attitude.

Thunder said: "I listen to my eldest brother!" Chao Yang and Chao Sheng echoed.

Others don't have an opinion either.

Chao Chong snapped his fingers and said, "Then there is no way." Chao Sheng, go to Chai Mansion to borrow a wide carriage with a carriage. Everyone, go and prepare the horses, we will go to Cangzhou City at noon and take these children to appreciate the wonders of this world! ”

The crowd applauded in unison.

Dongfang Xiao's eyes couldn't help but moisten: "You guys...... Thanks a lot! ”

Thunder laughed and said, "Why do you only say this? You are only allowed to help the weak, and we are not allowed to be adults! ”

Chao Chong gestured to the thunder: "Well said, I didn't expect to see you in a few months, and I would use idioms to allude to them, and there is progress!" ”

Lei Ting remembered the process of his study, and he was afraid that Chao Chong would delve into this issue, so he coped with it twice, and he didn't dare to talk.

At this time, the children's surprise came from the temple, and it turned out that Xiao Kai, who had been injected with the warm current of life by Chao Chong, had opened his eyes and was about to drink water.

The plan is certain and will be implemented immediately. Chao Sheng quickly went to Chai Mansion to borrow a carriage with a compartment, in which Dongfang Xiao and his six children were sitting, and Chao Chong and they all rode towards Cangzhou City.

When they arrived in the city, they watched acrobatics together, listened to comments, bought clothes, and ate some snacks in Cangzhou City, such as lion's head, donkey meat roasted, sesame flowers, halva, crackers, tripe soup, and hot pot chicken. I stayed at an inn in the city until the evening, and made an appointment to see the most famous iron lion in Cangzhou early tomorrow morning.

The iron lion was built in 953 A.D., the iron lion is 5.78 meters tall, 5.34 meters long, 3.17 meters wide, carrying a huge basin and is said to be the lotus seat of Manjushri Bodhisattva.

The next morning, before dawn, Chao Chong woke everyone up and rushed to the iron lion together.

The iron lion is located in front of the Kaiyuan Temple, and the Kaiyuan Temple is dedicated to Manjushri Bodhisattva. So everyone went to the temple first, and each of them put on a stick of incense. Only then did they gather under the Iron Lion.

The magnificent iron lion, also known as the roar of the sea, the body to the south, the head to the southwest, there is an incense burner in front of the iron lion, it is also used to enter the incense, two monks stand under the lion, prepare platinum paper, incense candles, prayer beads and other things for the pilgrims.

The east has revealed the white belly of the fish, but the sun has not yet risen, but there are already many pious pilgrims worshipping in front of the Kaiyuan Temple and the iron lion.

Chao Chong called the six children to his front and said, "As long as you have good thoughts in your heart, and you have always wanted the Bodhisattva to help you get rid of your disease, and your heart is sincere, the Bodhisattva will definitely agree to you!" ”

"Really? I will be obedient. The children began to fold their hands in devotion, bowing their heads and praying to Manjushri to remove their sickness.

When the eastern sun began to show half a smiling face, Chao Chong picked up a child, and a light leap over the back of the iron lion, standing on the lotus platform.

The pilgrims who knelt down and worshipped glared angrily, and the two monks hurriedly shouted: "Donor, come down quickly, you will be condemned by the Bodhisattva if you blaspheme the gods like this!" Amitabha! ”

Where had the child in Chao Chong's arms seen this kind of formation, and he also panicked and said, "Big brother, let's go down quickly......"

Chao Chong smiled and said: "Don't pay attention to them, if you want to get better, just shout your wish loudly to the sun in the east, and the Bodhisattva will help you realize it after hearing it!" ”

"Really?" The child hesitated, but his face was full of anticipation.

Chao Chong held the child's shoulder, looked at the newborn sun in the east together, and said, "Pluck up your courage and shout hard!" ”

Encouraged by Chao Chong, the child made his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted loudly: "I want to get better, I want to see my mother......"

The pilgrims and Zhike monks under the iron lion originally found bamboo poles and held stones, and wanted to knock them down, but as the children shouted with a crying voice, they stopped the movements in their hands, and the Zhike monks put their hands together and said: "Amitabha, good, good!" Some female pilgrims even had some moist eyes.

Chao Chong took advantage of the opportunity to be alone with the child to inject the warm current of life into the child's body, the blocked blood veins were cleaned up, the rotten lesions were repaired, and under the light of the newborn sun, the two stood on the iron lion, a piece of crimson.

When the child was already vigorous, Chao Chong jumped off the iron lion with him in his arms, and jumped onto the lotus platform with the second child as he could. After going back and forth like this six times, Chao Chong's body was also a little unbearable, his face was saggy, drowsy, and his body was a little shaky. Shen Tulie and Chao Yang looked at Chao Chong thoughtfully, and they both sweated for him.

But the pilgrims and the monks were a little crazy, because they found that the children who had come down from the iron lion were all refreshed and red-faced, and was this a miracle?

And Chao Chong's strange appearance, they as jumping up and down, consuming too much physical strength, Cangzhou is the hometown of martial arts, an old man saw Chao Chong's appearance, and shook his head and sighed: "Now young people, the physique is really weak!" ”

In the end, it was Dongfang Xiao's turn, Dongfang Xiao saw the changes in those children, looked at the lotus platform, and was also full of expectations.

Chao Chong took a long breath and said, "Brother Dongfang, the lotus platform is too small, you can go up by yourself, I will help you." Saying that, he pushed a palm on Dongfang Xiao's back, Dongfang Xiao rose up, jumped onto the lotus platform, and felt a warm current behind him quickly flow through his body, but he didn't care too much, looking at the newborn sun in the east, the red and warm sun, shining on his body, felt that he was --- full of hope!

After this incident, everyone left quickly, but the story of the iron lion's apparition quickly spread in Cangzhou.

The children's health was gradually improving, day by day, Chao Chong and they continued to the east, eighty miles to the east, is the Huanghua Military Port, where there is a branch of the customs yamen of the city, and of course, the sea that the children most urgently want to see!

Dongfang Xiao, who was in some good health, took the children to play on the beach by the sea, and Thunder and they also followed. Chao Chong and Chao Yang rushed to the Huanghua Yamen of the City Shipping Division to handle the ship's going to sea.

The establishment of the city shipping department, which began in the Tang Dynasty, was mainly responsible for foreign (maritime) trade, and the trade of the Great Song Dynasty was prosperous, and the city shipping department was indispensable, and the state drew a lot of taxes for this.

The Great Song City Bosi was first set up only in Guangzhou, and later under the auspices of Cai Jing, Hangzhou, Mingzhou, Wenzhou, Mizhou, Xiuzhou, Qingzhou, Cangzhou and other ports were added.

Huanghua Port in the east of Cangzhou is under the jurisdiction of the Mizhou City Shipping Division, where there is a yamen to collect the city shipping tax.

After the matter was done, Chao Chong returned to Chai Jin's manor with everyone who had had enough of playing on the beach.

After leaving the village for three days, when they came back, the children had already recovered, Chao Chong and Chao Yang sat on a horse with a child in their arms, and they caused a sensation as soon as they entered the village.

The Bodhisattva has appeared! The parents of those children broke through the crowd and found their children, touching and looking, and they were all happy.

It's a pity that the child whose parents died is Xiaokai, and he can only look at others with envy.

Dongfang Xiao also showed a rare smile and gently patted the top of Xiao Kai's head.

In the past few days, Chai Jin has not been idle, he went to the local forbidden army camp to choose the leather armor lined for Chao Chong, and the leather armor he bought was also suitable according to the height and size of everyone.

Chao Chong placed the child named Xiaokai in the Chai Mansion, everything was ready, after a banquet, Chao Chong and Chai Jin said goodbye, took everyone to Huanghua, boarded the merchant ship bound for Goryeo, the blue sea waves, and began a new journey.
