[006] Broken kettle
The sword is in the people, and the sword forgets the death. The meaning of these two sentences is to say the importance of the sword in the hand to the swordsman, the sword is like his own life, unswerving, will never retreat because the opponent is strong, and must fight to the end.
And now, Zhong Kui is like a sleeping lion, placed in the Zhong Kui temple. As long as he is broken one day, the enchantment that the evil god seals him can break out of the cocoon and kill all the demons and monsters in the world again.
Zhiqing looked at Zhong Kui, who was covered with dense turn-through diamond scriptures, and was confused......
The traveling monk that Xiao Ming said was temporarily living in Zhong Kui Temple at the moment, and he received Zhiqing as the host of the temple. And very skillfully expounded the origin of the Diamond Sutra, the Diamond Sutra has a kind of essence of accumulating merit and wisdom, and has a very strong and powerful positive energy to ward off evil spirits.
Zhong Kui is not dead, but he is more like a dead man. Under the light of the flickering candles, the complexion of the (vegetative person) is no different from that of a normal person, and it is slightly lacklustre, as if it is asleep.
Zhiqing and Xiao Ming were in such a solemn room, and they didn't dare to come out, so they could only imitate this wandering monk with his hands folded. stared silently at Zhong Kui, who was lying on the table of the Eight Immortals.
Coming out of the temporary quiet room, Zhiqing folded his hands and said, "Dare to ask ...... presiding over the law?" ”
The monk also saluted: "Suffering"
Zhong Kui Temple is very vibrant because of the presence of the bitter master. The surrounding villagers sent rice, sesame oil, and the master's life was not a problem.
However, there are two doubts in Zhiqing's heart; One is when will Zhong Kui wake up like this? Another question that Xiao Ming has always wanted to ask.
That's why Zhong Kui seems to be asleep but not asleep, seems to be awake but not awake, and says he is alive! Like a dead man. Say it's dead! The body has always been soft, and there is still breath in the nose.
At first, he was bitter and reticent, as if he was afraid to talk about this topic. Later, he couldn't stand the repeated entanglement between Zhiqing and Xiao Ming, so he reluctantly agreed to tell the story.
After agreeing to Zhiqing and Xiao Ming's request, Ku Patience took the two of them into the ashram. Three cloth pads, three people sit cross-legged, candle demons dance with fiery tongues, bursts of fragrance in the nose.
Ku Endure didn't tell the story that the two of them were expecting, but held the Buddha beads in his hand and chanted some scriptures. The two of them pricked up their ears and listened to the scriptures that &&&&&&&$$$$$they couldn't understand, and a strange feeling slowly rose until the dantian rose. In confusion, Zhiqing felt that his body suddenly felt light and fluttering. At the same time, I saw Xiao Ming leave the cushion without a sound and walked out.
When he looked at the bitter master again, he was stunned...... There didn't seem to be a master of suffering in the room, just the two of them...... Suspiciously, he got up and walked over in the direction Xiao Ming was walking.
There seems to be a small door in the dark, and thousands of rays of refracted and oblique light seep out of the crack in the small door. The light almost blinded Zhiqing's eyes, rubbing his eyes, suspiciously looking away, and looking closely, it was indeed the light that seeped through the small door.
At this moment, Xiao Ming's body cut off the penetration of the light, and the light flashed slightly. Xiao Ming was gone, and the light seeped out again, thousands of wisps, endlessly extended.
"Xiao Ming......" Zhiqing shouted. He ran a few steps, hesitating to enter the small door. The light is like a magnet with infinite suction, and it sucks him in.
His mind trembled, and his mind had not yet had time to judge what he would see after inhaling into this small door, and whether there were any dangerous thoughts. The man was already standing in a hut, and Zhiqing saw Xiao Ming talking to the bitter master, and when he saw him come in, the two of them turned their heads to look at him.
Master Bitterness looked at Zhiqing with a peaceful face, looked at Zhiqing with a smile, and nodded frequently to greet him! Anyway, he involuntarily walked over and sat cross-legged next to Xiao Ming.
The Master of Bitterness was also sitting cross-legged, but on a small table in front of him, there was a book that seemed to be so heavy. The cover of this book is very old, and there are several big characters written on it: "Heaven and Earth".
When Zhiqing came in, it was Xiao Ming who was talking to Master Bitter about this book, as if he had seen it there.
Master Bitterness smiled faintly and said, "The donor is mistaken!" As he spoke, he turned the page and showed them both. and told the two of them not to invest too much energy in reading the pictures on the book, and to read with a calm mind, otherwise they will go crazy.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. This book is simply a strange book, as if the mountains and rivers on it are flowing, showing them in a three-dimensional way.
Especially the fangs and claws, the hideous and terrifying ghost leader, even more frightened Zhiqing's heartbeat rate accelerated...... The hands and feet are sore, as real as if they were there.
Xiao Ming looked very calm, and the more he looked down, the more he felt that the book was telling the story of Master Zhong Kui. The more anxious I became, the more I wanted to watch it......
Just when I saw the ugly-looking, ghost-eating ghost king in the book, about to swallow the unknown liquid in the water cup. Xiao Ming couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly shouted: "Can't drink ......"
Just when Xiao Ming lost his voice and shouted, there was a loud 'pop' in the air. Everything I saw in front of me was like a cloud of smoke and vanished. The three of them were still sitting cross-legged on the cloth mats, and the master of bitterness was still muttering something.
Zhiqing looked around in wonder, but he didn't see the book that was a foot thick. Moving his mouth, he was about to ask something, but the Master of Bitterness stopped talking, leaned up, and said something meaningful to the two of them.
"Where there is a cause, there must be an effect, and everything has a certainty. What you see is not necessarily real, and what is true does not have to be seen, Amitabha! The good of the good, too! ”
Coming out of Zhong Kui's temple, Zhiqing recalled the hallucinations he had seen before for a long time.
Xiao Ming was taking a seat with the stories he saw in the book for what happened in reality......
Suddenly, he patted his head, and suddenly had an epiphany: "What did Master drink to become like this?" ”
"What to drink?" Zhiqing also asked anxiously.
"Water!" Xiao Ming thought about it carefully, and then said to Zhiqing with certainty: "It must be that Jiang Rong, it's her ......"
"Jiang Rong?" Zhiqing was shocked and said, "Do you know Jiang Rong?" ”
"I didn't know it at first, but I met it later. It's all my ......'" Xiao Ming regretted.
On the way back, he told Zhiqing everything that happened to Jiang Rong, Han Bin and others when they came to Tongchuan County. The latter is that the more I listen, the more surprised I become.
Next was Xiao Ming's surprise.
Zhiqing told Xiao Ming that Jiang Rong was actually Zhong Kui's biological daughter. At that time, Ran Qin returned to the city, and Jiang Shuai was still waiting for her, completely unaware that she and Zhong Kui had become a de facto husband and wife.
Later, Ran Qin became pregnant, and although Jiang Shuai was also a little disappointed, he still cared about her and cared for her.
After Ran Qin's parents learned about this, they felt that their old face had been lost by their daughter. Looking for death and life forced her to get married as soon as possible, just like that, Ran Qin was forced by the arranged marriage Shu Bo to marry Jiang Shuai.
