Chapter 466: The Great Monk (On the Wandering Road)
The sun was already setting in the west, and the three of them quickened their pace and finally reached a village before the sun sank. m.
After all, it's a village very close to Kyoto, so the whole village is not only big, but it seems that the living conditions are okay.
dervishes,
can only knock on the doors of three houses,
And it's what others give and what they eat, don't be greedy.
If the three families don't give it, then they are not allowed to knock on the fourth family.
Just recite the Buddhist scriptures to fill your stomach.
Fortunately, when the law knocked on the door of the first house, the host was very happy to see that it was a monk who came to the door, and ran into the house to take three big steamed buns.
After the three of them thanked the master, Shi Liu spoke again: "Donor, don't let your family go out to the mountain recently, I'm afraid there will be a little trouble." ”
"Thank you for the reminder, I'll tell my family." The old lady smiled and responded.
After eating one steamed bun per person, the law still wanted to go to another house to make a fortune, but Shi Liu slapped him directly on the head.
"You already have what you get, don't be greedy."
Touching his stomach, he said aggrievedly: "But Master, I haven't eaten enough." ”
"What is satiety? How much can I be full? In the future, there will be a time for you to eat and drink. ”
Statutory:......
Suddenly, he remembered that he had hidden a few plates of snacks when he packed the package, so he immediately opened the package: "Master, I remembered, I also brought a little heart." ”
Nobushi waved his hand desperately at him behind Shi Liu, but the fool couldn't see it at all.
Then Nobushi saw that he was beaten by Shiliu again.
After beating people, I was refreshed.
Shi Liu said: "Eat well, pack up your things." Let's find a place to stay. ”
Basically, every village has a large or small land temple.
Some large land temples will also have temple blessings.
Obviously, although the village has a good life, the land temple is only a small tiled house.
However, to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, Shiliu feels very good.
I went in and worshiped the land princess, and if I wanted to borrow the precious land, I had to say it.
It was the worst night they had slept in the days they had ever grown.
The next day, when it was still dark, the three of them rubbed their sore necks and got ready to continue their departure.
The young son of the old lady who had given them food the night before wanted to go up the mountain early in the morning to cut firewood, and by the way to see if there was any harvest in the cage below.
The old lady stopped: "Mi'er, I won't go today, it's not too late to go up the mountain a few days later, today you still go to the field to help your father plant some beans and vegetable melons." ”
"No, I'm not going today, what if the cage I put down is taken in."
The old lady insisted again and again, and her youngest son could only follow his father to the ground sullenly.
As a result, I planted a ridge and made an excuse to run up the mountain.
In the end, he encountered a wild boar and injured his foot, but fortunately, someone else went into the mountain and saved him together.
After coming back, the old lady couldn't help but chant Amitabha, which was really said by the little master, it was a small difficulty.
I couldn't help but want to think that I didn't give those three steamed buns, but I was afraid that it would not only hurt my feet.
In the future, he became more and more devout to worship the Buddha.
The three of them continued to walk in the southeast direction.
When I was thirsty, I came across a small stream on the road and drank a few sips, and when I was hungry, I ate a small snack to fill my stomach.
From morning to night, they had eaten all the snacks, and they hadn't seen a single place of people.
knew that the three of them had gone astray.
Yes, Jiuwu is not here, and he went out alone two years ago after saying a word.
The reason why Shiliu knows the route is that he roughly planned the route for future travel before leaving the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
In general, it is a big circle around the country.
If you encounter a special plant, you can also throw it into the space and plant it.
She couldn't enter the space, but now she was able to use her mental power to control the plants in the space.
It was okay before, after all, it was always possible to let the space throw a few fruits or something.
Now I can take it a step further and grow plants.
However, it takes a lot of mental effort, and it takes a while to rest to recover, and planting three trees a day is the limit.
"Master, dinner is gone."
Shi Liu pointed to his feet and said, "There are a lot of wild vegetables here, let's pick some wild vegetables and chew them for another meal." ”
Yes???
Not only the law, but also the letter did not expect such an answer.
Dig up a few thatch roots, and when you bite it, it's still sweet.
I picked a bunch of elm leaves, put them directly in my mouth, chewed and swallowed.
Great, dinner was done.
The law felt that if he continued to eat like this, he would definitely starve to death.
It's just that he didn't dare to snort loudly at the master, let alone protest.
The two guards who were far away from the three of them were also full of bitterness.
The four princes are really easy to feed ordinary peasant children.
Eating wild grass and leaves directly will not change the color.
Why is it possible to walk to a deserted place even though it is near Kyoto?
Aren't you in a small village not far from you?
Apparently the three of them really didn't know.
After all, as far as the eye can see, there are no houses in sight.
"Master, where are we staying at night?"
Shi Liu didn't want to go into the mountain now, so he pointed in the direction of the small village that the two guards wanted and said, "Go over there." It's not completely dark yet, so keep walking. ”
Seeing that it might rain at night, Shi Liu urged the two to speed up their pace.
It's not so easy to get a temporary shelter from the rain.
As we walked, the last rays of sunlight disappeared, and the sky was dotted with deep gray clouds at night, making the road difficult.
"Master, look, there's a light ahead."
Shi Liu nodded, very good, I finally have a chance to find a place to rest.
As soon as he walked into the village, Shi Liu saw that a family at the head of the village was actually dark, with the door open, and an old man sitting at the door, smoking dry tobacco, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
Shi Liu stepped forward and folded his hands and asked, "Amitabha, old man, can I allow my master and apprentice to rest at home for one night?" ”
The old man tapped the dry tobacco stick and looked at them in the voice: "Come in." ”
"Thank you, sir."
The three of them followed the lame old man into the West House, and the old man smeared and lit the oil lamp, and soon the room became bright.
There was nothing left in the room except a table, a stool, and a clay kang against the wall.
"Little master, if you don't dislike it, stay here for one night."
"It's already very rare to have a place to rest, how can there be any reason to dislike it." Shi Liu was sincerely grateful to the old man for taking him in for one night.
Xinzhi asked puzzledly, "Uncle, what about your family?" Why didn't you come home at night? ”
Hearing this question, the old man smiled and said, "They're at home." ”
The legal couldn't help but turn his head and look out,
A gust of wind blows,
I couldn't help but get goosebumps.
