Chapter 8: Bells and Bells
In early summer, the season has passed the small full, and the air is hidden in the fragrance of the plants and trees being steamed by the sun during the day. Thick clouds rose from the sky over the city www.biquge.info the air was a little stagnant, and thunder and lightning thundered in the sky.
It was almost ten o'clock after the evening self-study, and the road was as empty as ever, and the wind mixed with the fragrance of acacia flowers was blowing in my ears, warning me of the evening rain in the future. Before I knew it, I rode to the entrance of the vegetable market, looking at the orange street entrance and the memories intertwined with reality.
But the hourglass flip is still the same, the empty wave is still rising, it has been three months since the day of the shock, in these three months I want to figure out the truth again and again, but the obstruction of my parents and the heavy burden of my studies make me have to give up, three months, I look at this bell to lead the way, my heart is all familiar and strange! So much so that I have to admit that when I walk alone on this road, I always have a fear of wanting to know that your closest partner is a murderous executioner.
The real blood under the bell leads! I looked back at the distant vegetable market and sighed in my heart.
"I'm just a passerby, I'm also a living person, I can't even figure out what to do?" I reminisced about the bitterness in my heart, and I could only comfort myself like this.
"Ding ――――――" The distant bell was brought by the evening breeze, I looked up and found that there were two Taoist priests, one tall and one short, standing at the entrance of the alley home.
I don't know if the two of them are Taoist priests, at least they dress like this, the tall one is about forty or fifty years old, with thin eyes and thin eyebrows, sharp beak monkey cheeks, and two attractive ears that make me think of rat essence. He was dressed in a yellow robe, holding a dust whisk and a bell in his hand, and a small gossip mirror tied to his hat, standing still. The shorter one was dressed in the same way, but the clothes were too loose and more like they were spread out on him, and the wide hat almost covered his face, and I couldn't see him clearly in the dim light.
I'm still a little scared to see these two appear in the alley coldly, I really don't want to provoke these two, after all, there are still a lot of neuropathy these years, so I choose to wait for them to leave, but it's obvious that neuropathy doesn't have normal people's thoughts - the tall guy inexplicably put down the guy in his hand, and I don't know where to find a big cake and sit on the ground and nibble on it, and stuff it into the short one halfway!
I'm pretty sure I'm having a nervous breakdown now, but I don't dare come closer, who knows what they're going to do? In desperation, I can only pray to them to eat quickly, and leave as soon as they finish eating! However, I really don't know what these two are doing, I don't know when that guy actually took out a teapot again, a mouthful of flatbread and a mouthful of tea, so chic that it gave me the illusion that Wang Xizhidong was spreading meat and eating cakes.
The two masters ...... "I really couldn't bear it anymore, and I had the courage to go forward and ask questions."
……
The tall one ignored me for half a minute, only the short one stared at me with his head up.
"Excuse me, sir? What are you doing here? I tried to talk to them, but I was silent.
"Forget it, what was I thinking? What about chatting with neuropaths? I shook my head and prepared to bypass them and go home. But I was amazed to find that there were so many paper figures behind them! Rows of paper figures lined up neatly, blocking the already small alleyway.
"I said, "You two, can you give way?" I've got to get home from here. "I tried to speak to them in a calm tone.
The tall one still eats bread and drinks tea, and doesn't care what I say.
"Two Dao Masters?" I watched as they fought back the anger in their hearts.
……
"Where are you deaf? Did you hear what I said, you blocked the road, how do I get home? "I'm really a little frustrated, emphasizing word by word.
"Master, that person seems to be talking to us." Finally, the short Taoist priest spoke, and his voice was unexpectedly crisp and pleasant.
"Woo......," said the tall man, taking a bite of a large piece of bread, and said unhurriedly, "how is that possible?" Being a teacher has covered our yang fire, how can the living see us? ”
"But he said we blocked his way, and he couldn't go home."
The tall man took a sip of water and laughed: "How is it possible, how many times have I said that these are all "guests" as a teacher, how can a living person see it?" He put down the teapot again, pointed at me, and said, "Chang Kai, I look at a person who is probably crazy here!" Chang Kai, you and I have been wandering the world for so long, you always say that the world of flowers is wonderful, do you know how many people have lost their minds and become pure, you see how pitiful this madman is! ”
"Hmm...... Chang Kai knows, Chang Kai don't be a madman. The boy said thoughtfully.
"Huh! Who do you say is a madman? Lunatic? "I'm really the Samadhi King Bodhisattva, who can't bear it, and snatched the bread in his hand that he can't eat.
……
"Huh? How do you see me? The old face was full of astonishment.
……
"Oh, I'm sorry, poor road jeep, this is my apprentice." The old man is polite to me now.
"Daoist is polite, I'm Feng Jianxing," I replied in imitation of him.
"Dao Chief, can you clean up these paper figures? Mine is home. I forced a smile and pleaded.
"Oh, you said these guests, these are not paper figures, you must want to know the origin of these guests," Lao Dao pointed to these paper figures and said proudly.
"Uh, oh, I don't want to know, please give way, I'm so ......" I explained, who expected the Taoist priest to ignore me and only care about himself.
"This guest was originally an ownerless lonely ghost, and the apprentice met when he traveled the world, I practiced since I was a child and learned a little way, and I saw that they were pitiful so I decided to guide them and send them on the road, which is also considered a great merit, of course, we monks do not ask for anything in return but ask for peace of mind, I start from ......"
"If you have a guest who enjoys your flesh and blood every day, you don't think so." I sneered, but my mouth was still soft, "The Taoist chief is really kind-hearted, and what you have accomplished is indeed immeasurable, but please give way to me and let me go home." ”
"It's not a problem, of course, but I can give you a let him but!" The old man's eyes suddenly sharpened, staring straight at me. "Poor Dao also has some questions that I don't understand, and I hope to give an answer. How did you see me? Are you the guide? ”
"I don't understand what you mean," I wasn't going to dwell on him, and I was going to lock the car on the side of the road and walk straight through.
"Oh? Although Poor Dao is not good at learning and art, he has been wandering for so many years, and it is not a glorious thing to let people see it casually. "Unexpectedly, this Taoist priest was lying in front of me and wouldn't let me leave, and there was an extra peachwood sword in the arms of the apprentice behind him.
"And that bell on your body is not a good thing, I really didn't expect your young heart to be so vicious!" The Taoist priest's eyes suddenly sharpened.
