179. Pinggu Town
Pinggu Town, located after the first mountain range not far from the southern part of the Tang Kingdom. Originating from a small family in a country three hundred years ago, they settled here, and as time passed, it eventually developed into a small town. But the former family is no longer there, leaving only many settlers from elsewhere, multiplying from generation to generation.
The midday sun was fierce and scorched the ground. Two figures walked outside Pinggu Town, one of whom was carrying a stunning girl on his back.
Looking at the entrance of the town, there is a large stone embedded in the ground, on which are engraved the two big characters of Pinggu. Jingye looked everywhere inside, all the houses were made of a mixture of bamboo and wood, and a few were piled with earth and stones.
"Brother Kefeng, is this the case with all the houses in Pinggu Town?" Jingye asked softly as Ke Feng entered Pinggu Town.
Ke Feng had a crossbow machine hanging on his waist, glanced at Jingye, smiled and said: "Almost, because the environment here is relatively humid, although it is often hot and dry, but it will be wet and cold at night." Building a house with bamboo, on the one hand, is ventilated and breathable, and on the other hand, because there is a bamboo forest, the materials are sufficient, saving time and effort. ”
"Xiao Feng, are you back, who are these two?" As soon as Ke Feng finished explaining to Jingye, an aunt on the street happened to come over and say hello to Ke Feng, and then looked at Jingye and the two with some vigilance.
"Aunt Liu, these two are guests from afar, I almost hurt someone just now, this is not to bring someone home, please have a light meal as an apology. But where are you going?" Ke Feng said with a smile as he looked at his aunt.
The aunt, who was called Aunt Liu by Ke Feng, carefully looked at the gentle pure karma and the smile on his back with his eyes closed, and felt that they were all very good-looking, not like those wicked people, so she put away her vigilance and said to Ke Feng: "Alas, I went to pick some herbs next to the bamboo forest, your second uncle suddenly fell ill, but I was tossed to death, I won't say it first, you go quickly." ”
"Second Uncle is sick, then you can go quickly, slow down on the road." As soon as Ke Feng heard Aunt Liu's words, he didn't delay her time anymore, and then walked forward with his pure karma.
Jingye looked at this long street in Pinggu Town, the terrain on both sides was high, and the middle avenue was very low, like a road washed out by a flood. And looking far ahead, you can see the exit of Pinggu Town very directly, and all over the long street, there are paths that can be turned to other houses.
"The person just now is an enthusiastic aunt in our town, although she is old, we all call her Aunt Liu, and our wife is called Second Uncle. When the second uncle was young, he made a lot of efforts to build houses in our town, so everyone respected them very much. I heard that the second uncle is sick, and I will have to go and see it later. With the closure of the business all the way straight, Ke Feng also told Jingye about the aunt just now.
"It's natural, I'll go with you in a moment, maybe I can do something about it. Hearing this, Jingye said softly. Then he swept through the surrounding houses, and asked Ke Feng again: "Brother Ke Feng, why don't you have some shops and restaurants in this town, I think they are all living houses." ”
Walking to the second intersection, Ke Feng turned inside with his pure industry, and sighed slightly: "Don't mention it, although our town is not prosperous, it used to have at least everything, restaurants and shops were very prosperous." Later, a gang of robbers from nowhere ransacked the town, and the townspeople did not dare to open it again. ”
"Robber, in the mountains, is it the black village you said at the beginning?" Jingye was slightly stunned when he heard the robber, and then asked softly. The word robber was something new to him, having met it once when he was very young, and never again.
"Alas, I'll be home soon, and I'll talk to Brother Jing slowly in a while. Ke Feng heard Jingye ask him about Heizhai, pointed to a two-story bamboo house in front of him, and said slowly.
Jingye responded, tilted his head and said softly: "Xiao'er, I'm going to someone's house soon, wake up." ”
In a daze, she heard the voice of Jingye, smiled and opened her beautiful eyes, opened her mouth, and looked at the strange houses made of bamboo around her, her eyes were full of curiosity.
As Ke Feng walked into a bamboo house, Jingye quickly glanced around, there was no decoration inside, but it was very clean and tidy, quite simple.
"Come, sit down casually. Ah Niang, there is a guest at home. Walking into the house, Ke Feng took two bamboo chairs for Jingye and Xiao'er to sit on, and then said loudly upstairs.
"Ah Feng, who is here? Oh, such a beautiful child, and this girl, she is also beautiful. After Ke Feng's voice fell, a figure walked down from the upper floor, and a warm voice came at the same time.
When she turned her head, she saw an older woman with her hair curled up and wearing dark clothes. Like Ke Feng, she wore a red cloth scarf wrapped around her forehead, her figure was a little fat, and her complexion was yellowish.
"Hello, I'm Ah Feng's aunt, just call me Aunt Ke. After the woman went downstairs, she looked at Jingye and Xiao'er, smiled enthusiastically, and then took two bamboo cups and teapots, and poured them two cups of tea.
After taking the tea, Jingye Wen smiled and said: "Thank you, Aunt Ke, we are tourists from the Tang Kingdom, and we met Brother Kefeng here." ”
"Tang Kingdom, I went to Tang Kingdom once when I was young, it was very prosperous, there was everything, and it was very memorable. Xiang Jingye smiled, and Aunt Ke sat opposite Jingye and said softly.
Ke Feng, who put down the crossbow machine on the side and changed into dark red clothes, walked out and said to Aunt Ke: "Auntie, they are friends, you can entertain them first, I heard Aunt Liu say that the second uncle is sick, I want to go and see it first." ”
"Second brother is sick? I'm here to entertain guests. When Aunt Ke heard this, she hurriedly said, and asked Ke Feng to bring some medicinal herbs from home.
Jingye put down the teacup and said softly in Xiao'er's ear: "You stay here and wait for me for a while, I'll go and see with him, don't be afraid, there is nothing wrong with this family, the bracelet on your right hand will protect you, obediently, I'll make you a barbecue tonight." ”
Xiao'er was a little reluctant to hear the first half of Jingye's words, but when she heard Jingye say that she would make barbecue for herself, she nodded and glanced at the new wooden bead bracelet on her wrist, which was very shiny.
"Aunt Ke, I'll let my lover tell you about Chang'an City in the Tang Kingdom, I'll go with Brother Kefeng to see his second uncle, maybe I can help. He rubbed Xiao'er's head
, Jingye got up and looked at them and said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, you're guests. Aunt Ke looked at Jingye and was a little embarrassed. How can it be justified that a guest has just arrived at home, and now he has to follow him to see others.
Ke Feng didn't object when he heard it, he knew that Jingye was a cultivator, but he hadn't had time to ask about his cultivation, maybe he could help see his second uncle's illness if he went.
"It's okay Aunt Ke, it's just that my lover is a little scared, please. Let's go, Brother Away. Jingye waved his hand and said to Ke Feng.
"A-Niang, then you take good care of others, let's go first. Seeing this, Ke Feng said a word to his mother, and walked out with pure karma.
Aunt Ke watched them leave, and then looked back at Xiao'er's beautiful little face, she liked it very much, and then gently started a family routine with Xiao'er. Xiao'er saw that Aunt Ke had the gentleness of an elder, and she was not particularly afraid in her heart, so she chatted slowly.
On the streets of Pinggu Town, there are not many pedestrians in the past, but the dress of Jingye is different from theirs, which attracts a lot of attention.
"Brother Jing, I just forgot to ask you, what kind of cultivation are you doing now?" Walking on the street with Jingye, Ke Feng opened his mouth and asked Jingye.
Hearing this, Jingye smiled softly, looked at Ke Feng and said, "Brother Ke Feng, if I say that I am already in the Qi Sea Realm, do you believe it?"
Qi Sea Realm!Ke Feng was stunned.
"Brother Jing, this is a bit of a joke, you are so young, not to mention the Qi Sea Realm, just entering the Yuan Vein Realm is a bit amazing. Ke Feng looked at the smile on Jingye's face, and thought he was joking with himself.
Jingye didn't explain, but asked softly: "Brother Kefeng is very concerned about my cultivation, is it because of something? Or is it related to that black village?"
Hearing Jingye mention Heizhai again, Ke Feng looked around, and there was no one else, so he said softly: "Brother Jing, look there, on that mountain, a group of robbers came not long ago, claiming to be Heizhai. Alas, every once in a while, those people would come down to collect a lot of things, as well as the girls of the town. Originally, there were cultivators in our town, but in that black village, there was a cultivator powerhouse of the Qi Sea Realm, who killed all the cultivators in our town with one shot, and only a few children with cultivation talent remained. ”
"What a brute!" After listening to Ke Feng's words, Jingye clenched his fists and was very angry.
"Well, we can't help it. Don't mention it first, the front is the second uncle's house, and when I go back for a while, I'm talking to Brother Jing slowly about those robbers. Ke Feng looked at a smaller one-story bamboo house in front of him and sighed. For the robbers in the black village, they are really helpless.
"Good. Jingye understood Kefeng's feelings, and didn't ask any more, and it was not too late to talk when he went back.
When I came to the house of the second uncle of Kefeng, in addition to the old man lying on the bed with a dark face, there was also a hunchbacked old man sitting on the side with an ugly face, silent.
"Second uncle, old lady, you are also here, how is my second uncle?" Ke Feng shouted second uncle as soon as he entered the room, and then saw that there was another old man, and hurriedly clasped his fists and shouted.
Jingye followed Ke Feng's side, and also said softly: "The old lady is good." ”
The old man looked at Ke Feng, as well as the tall and young strangers around him, and asked on crutches, "Xiao Feng, who is this?"
"Old lady, this is a friend from Tang Kingdom, a cultivator, I will take him to see the second uncle. When Ke Feng saw the old lady asking, he briefly introduced it.
"Oh, hello, lad. Xiao Feng, for some reason this morning, your second uncle drank a glass of water, and then fainted directly, and he couldn't wake up. I wanted that one to come and see, but the mayor said that he was still resting and couldn't be disturbed, and alas, we couldn't help it. After listening to Kefeng's words, the old lady looked at Jingye with a gentle smile on his face, said hello to him, and talked about the situation of Kefeng's second uncle.
When Ke Feng heard this, he looked at the unconscious second uncle, he was very worried, and then tried to shout: "Second uncle, second uncle!
A few shouts, without the slightest reaction.
Jingye also looked at the man on the bed, his face was dark and problematic, and Jingye felt a strange aura from him.
"Brother Jing, what do you think?" Ke Feng had no choice but to ask for help from Jingye on the side.
"Don't worry. Jingye whispered, and then the golden light in his eyes appeared, which surprised the guest who was looking at him, and he was very quiet.
Stretching out his right hand, the golden light appeared, and the change in pure karma made the old lady also moved.
A golden swastika condensed in the palm of the pure karma, and then became the size of a human head. With a swastika on his hand, Jingye stroked Kefeng's second uncle from beginning to end, and then frowned and said, "It's not a big problem, it's just poisoned, but this poison is not naturally formed." ”
"Poisoning, Brother Jing, can you solve it?" Ke Feng didn't notice the second half of Jingye's sentence, but just grabbed the first half of the sentence, and hurriedly asked him.
"It can be solved, just force it out. However, the process may be a little painful, and I have to wait for that Aunt Liu to come back and listen to her opinion. Jingye nodded, the golden pupils did not dissipate, and the swastika in his hand was still golden and dazzling.
"Then I'll go find Aunt Liu, and trouble Brother Jing to wait for a while again. Hearing this, Ke Feng hurriedly said. And after the pure karma answered, he ran out.
After Ke Feng left, Jingye put the golden swastika above the head of Ke Feng's second uncle, and suspended quietly, letting go of the warm light.
And the old lady looked at the golden word tightly, and then asked Jingye excitedly: "Young man, are you a Buddhist text?"
Hearing the old lady ask himself, Jingye replied in a warm voice: "This is a swastika, a Buddha character." ”
"Then the golden light you just now is the Buddha's light, you are...... Buddha?" Hearing Jingye's answer, the old lady's hand holding the cane trembled, and she said excitedly.
"The old lady misunderstood, this golden light is the spiritual power in my body, and I am not a Buddha, but a former Buddhist monk. Seeing that the old lady regarded herself as a true Buddha, Jingye hurriedly explained. He didn't know that his golden eyes and golden light were the symbols of the Buddha in the eyes of the old man.
"Well... I am a believer in compassion and a believer in Buddha
Although they have endured hardships all the way, they have lived a stable life, but they have never seen the Buddha in this life. After listening to the explanation of pure karma, the old lady gradually stopped excited, and said with some loss. He is just an ordinary person, and what he wants to see most in this life is the Buddha.
Jingye looked at the old man, and felt a little uncomfortable, so he said softly: "Old lady, everyone has a Buddha in their hearts, what you think is a Buddha in your heart, then what you see is the dignity of the Buddha." Although people are different and Buddhas are different, compassion is the same, and we can overcome all sentient beings and the suffering of the world. ”
After the words of pure karma reached the old lady's ears, it was like a key, which instantly opened his heart and released a warm Buddha light.
"Young man, thank you, I seem to understand a little bit of what you said, old man, thank you. ”
The old lady was about to get up as she spoke, but when Jingye saw this, he hurriedly helped him down and said softly, "It's nothing, old lady." ”
"Brother Jing, we're back. Aunt Liu, this is Pure Industry, you just met. He can save the second uncle. Not long after Jingye finished speaking, Ke Feng walked in with the aunt he saw when Jingye first came.
As soon as Ke Feng walked to the entrance of the town, he saw Aunt Liu, who had gained nothing, and told her what he had said about the pure industry, and then the two hurried back.
"Young man, my wife can please ask you, do you have to wake him up?" Aunt Liu looked at the golden pupils of Pure Industry, and was shocked at first, but then remembered that he was a cultivator, so she hurriedly asked.
Jingye looked at the excited Aunt Liu, and said softly: "Aunt Liu, don't worry, the second uncle is poisoned, as long as the poison is forced out, but the process will be a little painful, he may scream, don't worry." ”
"It hurts, as long as it can be saved, there is no way to hurt it. Aunt Liu glanced at her wife, as well as the golden swastika floating on her head, and decided.
"Then you stand back, Brother Kefeng, please go to a cup that you don't use, and catch the poison for a while. Jingye nodded, his face became serious, and said to Ke Feng.
When the words fell, Aunt Liu hurriedly took a clean bamboo cup and handed it to Ke Feng, who looked at the net industry solemnly.
When the cup came, Jingye's hands appeared with brilliant golden light, which was very dazzling and warm. A few people watching were excited, but no one bothered.
In his right hand, he held a floating golden swastika, and then opened it, and the swastika instantly expanded, covering the entire room, slowly circulating, releasing warm light.
Jingye pulled the second uncle of Ke Feng up, put him in a cross-legged position, and slapped his palm on the back, and spiritual power poured into his body. The two fingers of his left hand stretched out, quickly dotting all over his body, and the last finger stopped at the back of his head, and the golden light flowed in.
The three people behind him looked at Jingye quietly, and soon, the second uncle of Ke Feng's body trembled, and a lot of unpleasant black gas came out, and then he opened his mouth and screamed loudly, which sounded extremely painful.
"It's okay, Aunt Liu, the second uncle is fine. Ke Feng comforted Aunt Liu, who was worried, and he was very uncomfortable listening to it in his heart, but he knew that Pure Karma was saving people.
After continuing for a while, the palm of the pure karma hand was withdrawn, and then the two fingers were pointed at the position of his palm just now, and then the spiritual power condensed the fingertips, and the fingers rose.
"Brother Kefeng, take the poison quickly!"
Jingye drank softly, and Ke Feng hurriedly took the cup and put it firmly in the second uncle's mouth, waiting for the toxins in his body to come out.
The fingers were raised to the neck, and the fingers that had stopped at the back of the head turned into palms and patted away.
On Ke Feng's side, he saw a black and foul-smelling liquid spit out directly from the second uncle's mouth, and all of it fell into the bamboo cup.
"Whew. Seeing this, Jingye breathed a sigh of relief, shrunk the swastika on the top of his head, and then floated to the bamboo cup in Kefeng's hand to seal it.
After doing this, Jingye put Kefeng's second uncle away, and then said to Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, the second uncle is fine, he will wake up in a while, don't worry, but has the second uncle eaten some strange things recently, or where has he been?"
When Aunt Liu heard Jingye's words, she first put down her heart, then thought about it for a while, and said: "He is old, he can't eat much, and there is no change. I recently went to the mayor's house, and I haven't been anywhere else. ”
Ke Feng on the side also listened to Aunt Liu's words, then looked at the somewhat pensive Jingye, and said softly: "What's wrong, Brother Jing, what's wrong?"
"Let's go back and talk about it, let's take a look at your second uncle first, he should be about to wake up. Jingye took the bamboo cup in Kefeng's hand, put it in the black smoke ring, and then looked at the second uncle on the bed.
At this time, Aunt Liu, the old lady, Ke Feng and Jingye were all looking at the man on the bed.
The original black face has returned to its original color, but it is a little white, and there is a lot of sweat on the head. Aunt Liu gently wiped the sweat from her wife's forehead, and called softly: "Old man, wake up, old man." ”
After two calls, Kefeng's second uncle opened his eyes slightly, looked at the four people beside him blankly, and didn't say anything for a while, just looked at them.
"Old man?"
"I... What's going on?"
Hearing his wife shouting about himself, Kefeng's second uncle opened his mouth and said hoarsely.
"Old man, you're finally awake, you're scared to death. Hearing his wife speak, Aunt Liu also knew that it was okay, held the hand of the second uncle of Kefeng, and cried.
Seeing this, Jingye behind him smiled slightly, then patted Ke Feng, glanced outside, and quietly left. Ke Feng understood the meaning of pure industry, and did not disturb the second uncle and Aunt Liu, and left quietly.
"Old woman, what's wrong with me?"
"You're poisoned, but luckily there's Xiao Feng and his friends, they... What about people?" Aunt Liu heard her wife ask herself, so she said to him, but when she turned around, why did the person disappear.
"Second child. The quiet old lady on the side suddenly spoke.
"Brother Qi, you're here too. Second Uncle Kefeng looked behind Aunt Liu, it was his Brother Qi.
"Your family is really blessed, that young man just now is the Buddha who came to our Pinggu Town!"
Hearing this, Second Uncle Kefeng and Aunt Liu looked at the old lady with a serious face and a pious look in their eyes, and read in shock.
"Buddha!"
