Chapter 103: Dialogue with Qing
"Xianggong, just let me go, you have already sold the two children, I have been looking for a year, but I haven't found them, that's our biological flesh and blood! Now you want to sell me to Yihong Courtyard, I just won't die, please stop gambling!" The woman hugged the man's thigh and refused to leave, and the man grabbed his hair and dragged and scolded.
"You dead, take care of my business, the child is gone, you can regenerate, besides, sell you, I can raise some gambling funds, turn over, in case you win, just redeem the child and you again." Don't bother any longer, hurry, I'm in a hurry!" the man said angrily.
The crowd of onlookers whispered and whispered......
"Who is this man? For gambling, his wife and children are sold!"
"Young man, you are not from this piece at first glance, this person is called a stubborn donkey, he is a famous gambling king in our area, people are nine out of ten bets and nine losses, he is ten bets and ten losses, and he has never won. But this stubborn donkey is determined, indomitable, and full of tenacity! Repeatedly gambling and losing, losing and gambling! In the past, his family was also well-off, he didn't worry about eating and drinking, he did some small business by himself, and his life was nourishing, but who would have thought that last year he was fooled by a few fox friends and dog friends to gamble, and when he got on the thief ship, he couldn't get off, and he was obsessed with a mess, no one could persuade him, and the loser sold the house, and the two children were also sold last year.
"Why didn't anyone go up and persuade them?"
"Persuade Mao, how many people persuade each other with good words, but it doesn't work, say that you are in a hurry, and you will use the knife. Why don't you have a lot of skills, try it?"
"Grass, your uncle's sword, I'm not going. I knew it was a pit, so I didn't jump into it!"
"I'll talk about a few, don't say it, no one can control this kind of thing, let's just watch the excitement with peace of mind!"
Ah Lang listened to the crowd, frowned, and then separated the crowd and walked to the stubborn donkey.
"I said Ma Hu, don't go to Yihong Courtyard, I want your wife, how much is it?" Ah Lang said with a smile.
"You, you want to buy my wife, can you afford the price, she's worth a lot! Well, what did you just call me?"
"I call you Ma Hu, that is, donkey characters are pronounced separately, more elegant, I am a reader, I like to talk to people in a crepe manner. I can afford the price you say. Ah Lang still smiled and looked at the stubborn donkey.
"Your uncle's! My name is also what you can call a poor literati who are powerless? Forget it, for the sake of the silver, I won't care about you. My wife is worth a thousand taels of silver, pay for it!" The stubborn donkey tilted his neck and squinted his eyes to look at Ah Lang.
Ah Lang squatted down, looked at the stubborn donkey wife who was already desperate and had demented eyes, and said, "Come with me, it's better than being sold to Yihong Courtyard by a beast man like you!"
The stubborn donkey wife turned her head, looked at Ah Lang with empty eyes, and was silent for a long time.
Ah Lang just looked at her with a smile, and he was not in a hurry.
The eyes of the stubborn donkey's wife slowly recovered her aura, and she became lively, suddenly broke free from the stubborn donkey, grabbed her hair, and kowtowed to Ah Lang three times, her eyes were resolute, and she shouted in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I'll go with you, and I'll never have to live this again, no one is a person, no ghost is a ghost! I will serve you well!"
Ah Lang smiled and nodded to the stubborn donkey's wife, then stood up, took out a silver ticket from his arms, and threw it to the stubborn donkey.
The stubborn donkey hurriedly kicked his wife who was blocking him, smiled and took the silver ticket in his hand, and turned around to leave.
"Slow, shall we gamble once?" Ah Lang suddenly looked at the stubborn donkey.
"You sour talent, bet with me, what is it?" The stubborn donkey was stunned for a moment, turned around, and looked at Ah Lang in surprise.
"Just bet on whether this god will thunder and lightning, if you win, I will give you a thousand taels of silver, if you lose, strip naked, climb out of this street, and you will not be allowed to appear in the national capital in the future. Ah Lang said coldly.
"Okay! I bet there won't be thunder and lightning, this winter, it's icy and snowy, and if there is thunder and lightning, it's hell!" the stubborn donkey laughed wildly.
Ah Lang stopped talking, looked up at the sky, after a while, the distant sky, faintly came, the sound of thunder, the onlookers, all taken aback, looking at the sky, it was already cloudy, thunder instantly sounded overhead, lightning also followed, dazzling light, piercing eyes can not be opened......
"Take off your clothes and climb out!" Ah Lang said as he looked at the stubborn donkey.
The stubborn donkey looked at the sky in horror, the thunder that resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the light of lightning reflected his distorted face, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and look at Ah Lang stupidly.
Ah Lang stood with his hands behind his back, faintly appearing in his eyes, colorful lightning, looking at the stubborn donkey, and said: "Don't be obsessed with everything, fall into it, it will harm you for the rest of your life." No matter how much others advise you, it is useless. Because you haven't thought it through yourself, you understand!
The stubborn donkey looked into Ah Lang's eyes, lowered his head suddenly, and remained motionless. Suddenly, he frantically stripped off all the clothes on his body, knelt on the snow, and slowly crawled into the distance......
"You take these silver tickets, do some small business, maybe one day, he will wake up and come back to you!" Ah Lang stuffed the silver tickets into the hands of the stubborn donkey wife, turned around and left.
The stubborn donkey wife looked at the 10,000 taels of silver tickets in her hand, suddenly knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Ah Lang's distant back. The blood had slowly seeped out of his forehead, and he didn't stop, just kept kowtowing, tears flowing silently on his face, and slowly slid down the snow along his undulating body......
"Ah Lang, you are such a kind person!" Bing Lingjie followed Ah Lang closely.
"I've never thought of myself as a good person, but I'm definitely not a bad person, that's true!" Ah Lang said without stopping.
"Ah Lang, if you go slowly, I can't keep up with you. Bing Lingjie took small steps.
"You can pull it down! Ice girl, your cultivation is much better than that of you, will you not be able to keep up with me? Alas! I'm strange, why do you keep following me? Hurry up and go home, or your father and mother will be in a hurry!" Ah Lang walked faster.
"I don't have a father!" Bing Lingjie said with her head bowed.
Ah Lang stopped abruptly, turned around sharply, and looked at Bing Lingjie.
Bing Lingjie lowered her head and just talked, but she didn't expect Ah Lang to stop suddenly, and she fell into Ah Lang's arms in one fell swoop. He lay on Ah Lang's body and buried his head.
Ah Lang hurriedly gently pushed Bing Lingjie away, and said softly, "Ice girl, did you jump out of the crack in the stone?"
Bing Lingjie was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, and saw Ah Lang looking at him playfully, and suddenly said angrily: "You don't have a father, you are the one who jumped out of the cracks in the stone!
"Then which family's eldest lady are you, or the head of which sect?" Ah Lang looked at Bing Lingjie with a smile.
"I'm not a famous lady, and I'm not the head of a sect, my father and mother go out to do errands, no matter what I am, I'm a homeless, hard-working little woman!" Bing Lingjie burst into tears.
Ah Lang pursed his lips secretly, and slammed into the void and left, regardless of whether the ice was clean.
"Ah Lang, what are you running, don't leave me a lonely little woman!" Bing Lingjie also blasted into the void, chased in the direction where Ah Lang had fled.
Not long after, Bing Lingjie and Ah Lang came side by side, going hand in hand. The two of them are in the void, feeling the joy of freedom and unrestrained hearts.
Ah Lang floated down to a nameless mountain peak, looked at Bing Lingjie, and arched his hand: "Ice girl, just let the little one go, don't follow me anymore, okay?"
"I didn't follow you, this is a branch of Yumai Mountain, and it's not your family, can you come, can't I come?" Bing Lingjie looked at Ah Lang with a smile, quite unreasonable.
Ah Lang was stunned when he heard this, and then sat down on the ground, looked at the misty mountains in the distance, and said secretly: "Damn! This woman, why is she unreasonable? If you can't outrun her, you can't beat her, how can this be good!
Bing Lingjie looked at Ah Lang, helpless to herself, speechless, and couldn't help but laugh.
The two of them sat like this, silent, looking into the distance, each thinking about their own thoughts.
"Ah Lang, do you think that gambling man will wake up and change?" Bing Lingjie looked at the white clouds.
"I don't know, maybe it will change, maybe it's the same as always. Ah Lang also looked at Baiyun Dao in the distance stupidly.
"Why don't you stop and keep talking!" Bing Lingjie turned her head to look at Ah Lang.
"Many things in the world, whether it is a layman or a monk, are easy to say, but if you really put them into action, it is very difficult. Sometimes you find that things that can be said in theory don't work or can't be done. Some things are done in completely different situations from what was imagined or known before. The gambling man is just trapped in it himself, and he has not yet awakened. Just like us monks cultivate, sometimes we will be stuck in a certain idea and can't extricate ourselves. No matter how others guide them, the teachings cannot be comprehended. I think there is a saying that is very true, flowers are not charming, people are obsessed, and people are drunk if they are not drunk. It's just that your personal body and mind are trapped in something obsessed with and have nothing to do with others. Ah Lang muttered.
After hearing this, Bing Lingjie looked at Ah Lang and was silent for a long time.
"Ah Lang, then which of the three views do you think is the most important?" Bing Lingjie stared at Ah Lang deeply.
"I'm just an ordinary monk, and I don't have three views. Ah Lang said casually.
"Be serious with you, don't talk nonsense, talk well. Bing Lingjie said angrily.
Ah Lang turned his head and glanced at Bing Lingjie, then looked into the distance again, and said slowly, "I personally believe that the outlook on life is the most important! First of all, this is closely related to a person's knowledge, cultivation, experience, and experience. For example, if I am a beggar, and you have eaten and drunk all day, and you talk to me about how beautiful the world is, how life can be brilliant, etc., I will spit out the old yellow phlegm on your face, or kick you to the side. I've eaten all day long, I'm naked, and you want me to find pants for others to wear, isn't that?"
Ah Lang pondered for a moment, and then said: "I will first make myself strong before I can protect my family and friends! In fact, as an ordinary person, being a real person, telling the truth everywhere, and telling the truth is not necessarily a good thing. You have to learn to adapt to the times. Therefore, it is better not to tell all the falsehoods, and not to tell all the truths. Or when you see people talk about people, or when you meet ghosts, you talk nonsense. This is not a derogatory term, but I think that in fact, people in the world and monks get along with each other in the same way, people in the world run around in order to live, and monks seek teachers and friends everywhere in order to achieve success. It's just a different outcome. We don't know where our tomorrow is? The monks have been cultivating hard in order to advance to the next peak, and when they suddenly reach it, they find that there is still the next peak, and they continue to work hard, work hard, and keep climbing one mountain after another! The monks often say that the Three Thousand Great Roads are the ultimate peak, but for hundreds of millions of years, which monk has really climbed to the top of that extreme? At most, he just brushed the side or smelled the smell. But my monks, aren't they still working hard, thinking that one day they will reach the peak of that mountain!"
After listening to what Ah Lang said, Bing Lingjie looked up at the void, didn't speak for a long time, and a beam of light suddenly burst out in her eyes, and the lightning shot into the sky......
