Chapter 4: The Little Monk
"Slightly..."
I saw a little monk in coarse cloth make a face at the butcher, save a dog that was caught, and then began to flee in the wilderness!
"Jiang Liu'er! Stop! ”
The butcher in the back brandished the pig-killing knife and yelled, playing a set of dazzling actions, but there was no trace of chasing after him, but there was a little smile in his eyes that could not be hidden, but there was a trace of coquettish anger on his face.
Looking at the little monk who was forced a little faster by his words, the happiness on his face could no longer be suppressed, and directly bloomed.
The surrounding merchants and pedestrians are also happy to watch the farce that will be staged every day, every time the puppy will be caught, and then rescued, from the hair ball to now it is a year old, and it is still the same dead nature.
The little monk would always rescue the little dog, and even the surrounding shops were accustomed to the little monk running away in panic every day without exception, until he ran to the other side of the city without resting, he was really a sturdy child.
Many residents looked at the back of the little monk with regret, they could grow so strong without eating meat, if they could eat meat, maybe there would be a seedling of a general defending the city in Chang'an City in the future.
'It's a pity that he's a monk...'
They naturally know the origin of the little monk, although he is only an orphan, he is the only disciple of the old monk Fa Ming, and naturally he also has the important task of spreading Buddhist thoughts, the Buddha is not simple, and his believers will not pay attention to the general gods, let alone them mortals.
This is also the reason why the status of the little monk is so special, but the people in Buddhism advocate simplicity, and they just go to ask for some fasting food, fruits and other things every day, and they have a good life, but the ideas spread are too vain.
In this world full of demons, what all beings are equal, and what reincarnation in the afterlife is all laughter.
In the era when they will be attacked by demons at any time, it is their norm to live every minute and survive by any means, even if this is Chang'an, a rare giant city in the world...
The world is chaotic, demons are rampant, and the gods occasionally show their majesty but only protect a group of people, but there are few that keep them safe.
But in such a world, if they don't gather, their lives will only be more difficult, how can they still have the appearance of suffering and happiness from time to time?
Every household in Chang'an City worships the gods, which are not the same, but they will have a grand sacrifice every year to the gods in the heavenly court, praying for peace and hoping to spend the long winter.
This giant city, known as Chang'an, is also named because every sacrifice can be responded to by the gods and survive the harsh winter, as for other times, whether there will be the blessing of the gods depends on the destiny of heaven.
As for the human defense, although it is not ineffective, but in the face of demons with extraordinary power, they are still too vulnerable, even if they kill some small demons, they can't change the result of being breached by the city.
Fortunately, the demons will not be wreaking havoc for too long every time, otherwise they will attract the attention of the gods, and a city like Chang'an has a large number of fortifications, and it can barely be called.
Seeing that it was a bitter summer again, and it was also the time when the demons were about to go down the mountain to plunder the human race every year, the atmosphere in Chang'an City immediately became tense, and the little monk, as one of the few children, was one of the few people who could bring them happiness.
But the little monk also belongs to a weirdo, his favorite is actually the Ah Si shadow puppet show in the city, that guy doesn't know why, the other tracks are average, the only thing is to make trouble in the heavenly palace, which is extremely brilliant.
The little monk was extremely interested in the Havoc in the Heavenly Palace and the legendary 'Monkey King', even to the point of going mad.
This Monkey King is also a very special existence, I heard that he is the only demon who does not eat people, but he is the enemy of Heavenly Court, and Heavenly Court gathered 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals back then.
Later, it was the great god Qingyuan Miaodao True Monarch Yang Jian who personally defeated him, but unfortunately he didn't surrender...
In the end, it was the Heavenly Court that invited the Buddha of the Western Lingshan World to take action to completely seal this Monkey King!
You must know that in the great battle back then, this Monkey King fought all the way to the heavenly court, and the gods were so shocked that he couldn't help himself, but he was sealed for some reason, because this great sage had no cannibalism and had helped mortals many times, which made many people's perceptions of this extremely complicated.
It's just that it's been too long, and no one really has any evidence to prove the existence of these things, and most people just have the feeling of hearing about it, as if listening to the myths of the past, without a sense of substitution.
If it weren't for Ah Si's excellent shadow puppet play, the deeds in Chang'an City about the Havoc in the Heavenly Palace would not have been so widespread, but unfortunately some things have not been touched and are just stories after all, even if it is a little monk, he is just a person who is addicted to stories...
An old monk with white hair looked at the little monk with his hands on his knees and looked at the vivid shadow puppet play, and let out a faint sigh on the small bridge, and then looked down at the blue river and didn't know what he was thinking...
Laughter is always temporary, the little monk with a puppy in his arms returned to the old monk's side, looking at the old man who had raised him since he was a child, and suddenly found that his figure was more rickety, and his white hair was a little more.
The feelings of the young man always come and go quickly, and it didn't take long for the little monk who was a little depressed to regain his elation, touching the puppy's fluffy body, he suddenly asked: "Master, master, is there a Monkey King?" ”
"Why don't the gods in heaven help us get rid of those evil demons?"
Without waiting for the old monk's answer, he jumped on the stone again and began to dance, imitating the singing in the shadow puppet play.
"The body is like a dark iron, immortal, and there are seventy-two changes!"
Then he took a wooden stick on the ground, and danced like it, and between the shouts, there was a faint sound of wind.
"If there is really a Monkey King with a golden hoop stick in his hand, what demon will be an opponent?"
Then he suddenly threw the stick again in discouragement.
"Why is the Great Sage so powerful and still defeated? Why did the gods deal with the Great Sage? ”
The old monk saw a little monk for a while, but he didn't feel any strange look, this apprentice just likes to think a lot, but he can quickly explain himself, but sometimes his confusion does not belong to his age, which requires him as a master to take action!
"The Great Sage has the insistence of the Great Sage, and the gods have the consideration of the gods, after the two collide, their conflict is naturally inevitable!"
The old monk was like a wise man gently stroking the head of the little monk who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and suddenly slapped the little monk violently.
"Let's go, I haven't had much fasting today, go back and pick some fruit, and your hair is growing again, it's time to shave!"
The little monk who was patted was not angry, but touched his head and nodded honestly: "Yes!" Master! ”
Then the two of them walked towards the ruined temple where they lived, in a somewhat gloomy weather...
