Chapter 124: The True Dragon Appears
*
When the victims heard the middle-aged man say this, they all straightened up their waists and pricked up their ears to listen.
The man continued, "Master Yiquan has a saying, we and other monks who practice Buddhism, every porridge and meal comes from the donors. In times of peace, when some believers went up to the mountain to burn incense and worship the Buddha or ask for Dharma affairs, the priest never accepted any money, but only asked the believers to answer with food. Tuass himself has cultivated so deeply that he has been able to exterminate the grain; There are not many monks on the mountain, and they are all thrifty and thrifty, and the food consumption is very small, so gradually a lot of food is stored. In such a catastrophic year, Tuas decided to donate all the food stored on the mountain to help the victims in the vicinity. ”
When the victims heard this, they all showed happy expressions and couldn't help but admire.
"Starting tomorrow," the man said, "Tuas will arrange for people to distribute relief food at the foot of Lingquan Mountain." You can go and pick it up. ”
The victims couldn't help but kneel and kowtow, and they were boiling.
"Master, disciple has another question!" It was the girl named Xiao Fu'er who spoke just now, "Master, the whole family of the disciple is dedicated to cultivating Buddhism, there are also many good men and women in the village, and the Bodhisattva temple at the head of the village burns incense every day, but why does the heavens still send disasters to let us suffer such a catastrophe of separation of flesh and blood?" ”
This seems to be an unintentional question from an ignorant girl, but many people are sad because of her words, and they can't help but sigh helplessly.
The middle-aged man led by him did not come to Bu Yuan's side this time, and he also sighed and said: "The priest said that this disaster is not to harm the people, but that there are traitors in the court, state-owned and national thieves, and the discipline is unstable and the society is restless. Heaven wants to give a warning to the saints of today and to the people of the world. ”
Hearing this, Su Bo and Xu Hong couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts.
"This person actually dares to talk about the government in public, spread rumors, and confuse the people!" Xu Hong frowned and said, "Miss." After entering the city, please allow the villain to report to the government and arrest these people and take them out of prison! ”
Su Bo narrowed his eyes. Said slowly: "Steward Xu is a little restless, and Miss must not want us to make extraneous troubles for the nonsense of a reckless man in the countryside." ”
Zuo Ying smiled in her heart. This Xu Hong must have heard the "national thief", and he must have thought of Helan Chu who monopolized the government, for fear that the person would say something to attack Helan Chu; And Na Su Bo was trying to borrow the mouth of a "country man" to let Helan Chu be scolded.
I heard the middle-aged man continue: "The priest recites scriptures and prays for the innocent people every day, surpasses their souls, and allows them to ascend to the Western Bliss as soon as possible; Pray that the national thieves can be cut off as soon as possible, so as to ensure that the disasters of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not invade and the wind and rain will be smooth. ”
The onlookers immediately discussed. Uproar.
"Since the state has traitors, why does the Holy One sit idly by? Let him do evil, and let Heaven bring calamity upon us? ”
"Tuas, if the thieves are not eliminated, will the flood not be subsided?"
"Go on like this. Will more calamity befall us? ”
"Tuas, please save us!"
"What are we supposed to do? ……”
……
The discussion of the crowd suddenly became out of control, and even became angry.
"Everyone, everyone," the middle-aged man bowed in front of the chariot and listened for a moment, then straightened up and said to everyone, "Master Yiquan has shown that there is a real dragon near today today, which is a sign of peace for the disaster." But the real dragon took off in the air. She had to return at the auspicious time to pray for blessings, praying that the heavens would bless the dragon to recede the flood and help the people survive the disaster. ”
"A real dragon?" Everyone who was still talking just now was looking at each other. Look around.
Zuo Ying and the others were all secretly shocked in their hearts.
At this time, the middle-aged man had already given the order to set off, and the four people who carried the chariot carefully carried the chariot on their shoulders and left in a neat queue on the way for the onlookers to give way. Everyone knelt down to see each other off. From beginning to end, the overflowing spring master in that step never opened his eyes, and when he did not move or speak, it was as if he was in a peaceful sleep.
When the chariot gradually faded away and disappeared into the trees in the distance, everyone got up and dispersed one after another.
Su Bo got off his horse, came to the scattered crowd, and stopped the girl named Xiao Fu'er just now.
Xiao Fu'er turned around, glanced at Su Bo with his round eyes, and said with a smile: "Aren't you the old man who also gave us a reward just now?" What's the matter? ”
Su Bo said with a smile: "The reward is not given by the old man, but by the master of the old man's family." He turned his head slightly and looked at Zuo Ying and them, "The master has something to ask the girl about." ”
When Xiao Fu'er heard Su Bo say this, he arched his hand towards Zuo Ying and them lively, and said enthusiastically: "The old man is Xiao Fu'er's benefactor, if there is anything to ask, as long as Xiao Fu'er knows, he will definitely tell the old man." ”
"That's good." Su Bo twisted his beard and smiled. He lived so long that he had never been called "grandpa" in country slang. At first glance, it sounds a little rude and vulgar, but when this girl who looks so kind and enthusiastic to say it, after listening to it, I think it's quite interesting.
"We are all passing merchants, and we don't know anything about the situation here," Su Bo continued, "Our master would like to inquire about the origin of this overflowing master. ”
"That's easy to say." Xiao Fu'er pursed her lips and began: "Xiao Fu'er is not a local, he fled from the seaside village, and today is also the first time I have the honor to see the true face of Master Yiquan. But as early as when I was in the seaside village, I had already heard that this overflowing spring master Bodhisattva had a heartfelt heart and boundless power. Free medical treatment is often given to the poor who cannot afford medical treatment. She practiced Buddhism in the Lingquan Nunnery of Lingquan Mountain, and Xiao Fu'er heard that she was enlightened because she received a treasure book called "Six Dust Sutras" given by the Bodhisattva. She also opened an altar to give lectures and taught the things in the "Six Dust Sutra" to the believers, so many people from far and near worshiped under her door. ”
Su Bo nodded and said, "I see." It's just that the old man sees that Yiquan Master is young, how can he have such a cultivation? ”
"This ......" Xiao Fu'er looked at the lack of people around him, and then said in a serious voice: "Grandpa, you may not know that you are a foreigner, but it is disrespectful to discuss the age of Master Yiquan in this way." ”
Su Bo was a little amused by the little girl's overly sincere and kind reminder.
"Grandpa, in fact, there are several theories about Master Yiquan's enlightenment experience." Xiao Fu'er said in a somewhat mysterious tone: "Some people say that as early as before the start of the war in Guanzhong, someone saw her treating people everywhere**, and it seemed to be the current situation at that time, after a lapse of time, she still looked old; Some people also say that Master Yiquan was a monk in his previous life, and he was reincarnated with the memories and mana of his previous life; There is also a theory that when she obtained the "Six Dust Sutras", she was also enlightened by the Bodhisattva, and she was extremely talented, so she was able to become a Buddha in such a short period of time. ”
"I see. There is a little girl Lao Xiaofuer. Su Bo arched his hand, then took out a bit of broken silver from his arms and stuffed it into Xiao Fu'er's hand.
Xiao Fu'er immediately let go and took a few steps back, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "I can't do it, I can't do it." The old man had already rewarded Xiao Fu'er just now, how dare he ask for more at this time? Mother said that in this world, no one's money is hard to come by, don't look at some rich people who are making money every day, the hardships may not be what we are willing to bear, and Lotte is enough. The old grandfather and Xiao Fu'er are not related, and they are willing to reward Xiao Fu'er to help Xiao Fu'er tide over the difficulties, and Xiao Fu'er is already grateful. If the old man still has extra entanglements, he will reward the poor man who is more pitiful than Xiao Fu'er. ”
Su Bo thought that although this little girl looked lively and frizzy, she was so persistent and clear about these rights and wrongs, good and evil, and couldn't help but secretly admire them in her heart.
"Since Miss Xiaofu'er said so, then the old man will do what you want."
After Su Bo finished speaking, he was about to say goodbye and leave, so as not to wait for Zuo Ying for a long time, but saw that Xiao Fu'er didn't seem to have the intention of leaving immediately, but was looking at Zuo Ying.
At this time, Zuo Ying also noticed that Xiao Fu'er's gaze fell on the scarlet feather beside him. I thought, could it be that Scarlet Feather has fans? When he looked at Scarlet Feather again, he saw that he was just looking around on guard, unaware that a little girl was staring at him.
"Little Fu'er girl, the old man has taken his leave." Su Bo arched.
Xiao Fu'er withdrew her gaze, as if she wanted to say something and stopped, and then she also arched her hand and said, "Grandpa, let's go." Then he watched Zuo Ying and his party leave.
It didn't take long for Zuo Ying and his entourage to come to the north gate of Ziyang City. I saw that the people who entered the city there had already formed a long line of fifty or sixty meters, more than a dozen city guards were guarding the door, and one person was strictly interrogated and checked. Zuo Ying also found that the person who claimed to be the owner of his family just now was also in the middle of this team. At least half an hour had passed since he had left, but he was only in the middle of the line.
Seeing such a situation, Ashina couldn't help frowning: "What's so great about this city?" ”
Su Bo stepped forward and explained in a low voice: "Uncle, the old servant heard that this is the strategy adopted by Dong Lin, who supervised the disaster relief in this vicinity. Nearby cities that are likely to host victims have responded differently depending on the level of food production and abundance. Cities close to the disaster county strictly control the city gates, and do not allow the victims to enter the city, so as not to disturb the normal order in the city, but will guide the disaster victims to temporarily live outside several rich cities to relieve their difficulties, and the nearby government also needs to concentrate resources on that city to build temporary shelters for the victims and ensure daily relief food. The farther away from the county, the fewer people there are, and the more relaxed the control of the city gates, the local government can take a flexible approach to help the people who enter the country. ”
