Forty-five years ago, Huangmeng Village, Lushui City.

"Help! Help me! ”

Women and children, young and old, all do their best to resist insignificant, but they are doomed to be meaningless in the face of absolute power.

Because they're not fighting individuals, but... Nature!

"Mountain God! The mountain god is furious! ”

Perhaps many years later, the word 'mountain god' would be called superstitious when you heard it, but for the villagers of Huangmeng Village, who were located deep in the mountains at that time and could hardly be said to have no civilized cognition, it was like the news that the sky had collapsed!

Especially with the huge mudslides and huge trees that kept rushing down the mountain 'Mt. Taketaki', the mountain that raised them, death and screams converged into the only terrifying scene in Huangmeng Village.

Among the villagers, Jiang Xiaohui, who has just turned 23, is naturally one of the most feared among them - she witnessed her father being crushed under a big tree and witnessed the tragic situation of everything!

And the fear of death in young life is an iron law that has been imprinted in the heart since the beginning of life.

However, unlike ordinary villagers, Jiang Xiaohui has been barely a person of faith due to the influence of her father, who had previously been a monk in a temple during the famine.

So when she was afraid in her heart, she instinctively prayed.

"Please... I don't want to die yet... I'm also..."

Like all believers seeking the last shred of solace in times of despair, Jiang Xiaohui should have ended up dying with hope in prayer.

But that's not the case...

Because as if it were a story, the Buddha seemed to respond to her!

"Boom!!"

The mud flow that was raging down seemed to have encountered some kind of obstacle and made a loud noise, and when Jiang Xiaohui opened her eyes tremblingly... And she saw him.

It was a young monk dressed in a moon-white monk's robe, carrying a string of exquisitely crafted Vajra Bodhi on his wrist, and carrying a strange wooden box behind his back.

The young monk maintained a strange bowing posture facing Jiang Xiaohui, and his hands were spread out as if to block the mudflow!

And in fact, he did—only to see that behind him, the originally violent mud flow seemed to have been completely stopped by some force!

"You..."

Jiang Xiaohui, who was shocked, looked at the monk like this, and the monk looked at her with the most tender expression she had ever seen in her life.

"It seems to be fine."

When he said this, his words were like sunlight piercing through the girl's heart.

After that, the monk stayed in the village for a period of time to care for the injured, while Jiang Xiaohui went to talk to him every day.

He always said she was very Buddha-like, so Jiang Xiaohui has been a true Buddhist ever since—even though she worships him more than a Buddha.

In her opinion, he who unconditionally helps the villagers with his best efforts is the Buddha who walks the world!

As for Jiang Xiaohui's praise, the monk only smiled shyly.

"If you want to get the Buddhas and dragons, you must first be all living beings."

Here is his answer.

Jiang Xiaohui also once asked the monk if she could also become a monk - after all, her father and her family were drowned in that disaster!

The monk replied to her, "Yes, I will take you back to the temple when I come back." ”

——————————————————————————————————————————————————

"It's a monk?"

After hearing the old lady tell her story in detail, Xue Mao, who was already holding a little gossip mentality on the side, couldn't help but mutter.

"Where did he end up?"

Of course, Wen Zhong ignored Xue Mao's self-talk, and asked the old lady like this instead.

"I don't know - he only stayed in the village for a week before he went into the mountains."

"After that, because the village was uninhabitable, we were all sent to the county's resettlement house, and no one ever returned to the village after that."

"So... He was never seen again. ”

The old lady said that this place also seemed to recall the original scene.

“... So the seal on your body was also left to you by him? ”

At this time, Wen Zhong pointed to the old lady's right hand - in fact, he had noticed from just now that the old lady's right hand seemed to be the only area that was not wrapped in evil qi, and her hand was surrounded by a faint golden light!

Obviously, it was this seal that made the old lady die early in the morning but insisted on it until now.

"The Seal?"

The old lady was stunned when she heard this, and then she raised her right hand tremblingly and glanced at it, and then seemed to be surprised: "So that's the case..."

Then, she also looked at Wen Zhong and said, "No—this thing should have been given to me by another person, and Tongtong also got it from her." ”

“？”

So of course Wen Zhong didn't understand, and the old lady also explained.

"Since he left, I've tried to find him in temples in different cities, but I haven't found him."

"But about 20 years ago in a small county town, I met a girl."

"She told me she owed me a favor and wanted to pay it back."

Apparently she was old, so the old lady couldn't even remember the girl's appearance, but told Wen Zhong that she was wearing a golden bamboo hat and that she seemed to have an eyepatch over her face.

And the girl gave the old lady a total of two.

"She said I only had 53 years to live, so she touched my right hand and told me that she had added 15 years in return."

"She said I wouldn't have offspring in my life, so she gave me a mimosa to take care of."

The old man whispered, "I didn't believe her at the time, but now that I think about it..."

She was a Buddhist, so she chose to take care of the ordinary mimosa in the spirit of equality for all life.

And when the mimosa turned into a girl, she knew that she might have really met a stranger.

And after the words fell, not only Wen Zhong and Xue Mo, but even Jiang Tongtong, who was just listening quietly, was stunned!

"Buzz! (Increase or decrease longevity with your own mana?) Ignite a mimosa into a demon? Could it be that Bai Yiyi went to the world at that time? ）”

Even Chunjun couldn't help but buzz - whether this increases or decreases Shouyuan or uses grass as a demon, it is a real supernatural power!

“...”

And Wen had to admit that his curiosity was also stirring at this time, but fortunately he was unexpectedly reliable at this time.

The question now is not whether that girl is the powerful and boring person who does good deeds, but the news of the monk that the grandmother has been worried about all her life!

"Back to the point - I just meant to say, did that monk leave you anything?"

Wen Zhong asked, "If there is anything left on his physical characteristics or breath, I may be able to help you find him." ”

He originally thought that the magic seal was left by the monk to the old lady, if that was the case, as long as he used a spell taught to him by Bai Yiyi, he could use this magic seal to determine the monk's spiritual power.

And if that's the case, then it's possible to communicate with that monk with the help of spiritual power!

But now that the seal was not left by the monk at all, the plan had to be changed.

"What did he leave behind?"

The old lady was stunned when she heard this, and after thinking for a while, she nodded: "I want to think about it... There really is one. ”

As she spoke, the old lady also trembled and walked to the front of the Buddha statue in the living room, and bowed to the Buddha statue gently before pulling open a drawer under the Buddha statue.

"That's it."

Then she also took something out of it.

It was an obviously very old burlap bag - the one that thieves often carry behind their backs in many comics.

It's just that although this burlap bag is old, the old lady obviously cherishes it very much, and even has enough colors on it!

"This is what he used when he was treating injuries to the people in the village, can he use it?"

The old lady asked.

Wen Zhong, on the other hand, looked at the burlap bag, and then nodded slightly.

"You can try."
