Chapter 31: A Saint from Heaven

The Han River, originating from the Yangtze River system, is the largest tributary of the Yangtze River.

A sizable fleet of ships traveled north along this waterway.

In one of the cargo ships, a monk and two figures sat on the bow of the boat, drinking and talking to each other.

……

Feeling the cool breeze on the surface of the water, Ding Ye couldn't help but take a long sniff, and turned to ask Zhang Songxi beside him.

"What does Brother Songxi think of this scenery of mountains and rivers?"

When Zhang Songxi heard this, he also empathized and said, "It's quite magnificent!" ”

Ding Ye smiled, raised his glass and took a sip before sighing.

"It's a pity that although the mountains and rivers are good, they are the ruins of the old country, and they are no longer owned by us......"

Listening to Ding Ye's inexplicable words, Zhang Songxi was obviously stunned.

"Senior Brother Yuantong, what do you mean by this?"

When Ding Ye heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Brother Songxi, in the future, this 'Yuantong' will not be mentioned again...... Since I have banished Shaolin, I must not continue this Shaolin Dharma name, so as not to cause trouble in vain...... Brother Songxi will call me by my common name in the future, my common name is Ding, and my single name is a Ye character. ”

Zhang Songxi thought about it, and said, "Such a foolish brother has seen Brother Ding Xian." ”

Ding Ye bowed slightly, and after a simple and polite sentence, he was not in a hurry to answer Zhang Songxi's question just now.

Instead, he asked again, "I don't know what Brother Songxi plans to do in the future?" I mean, after avenging the venerable brothers......"

Faced with Ding Ye's inexplicable question, Zhang Songxi said inexplicably, "Naturally, I will return to Wudang, practice martial arts, and serve my teacher." ”

However, Ding Ye, who heard this, suddenly shook his head and smiled.

"That's all? Could it be that the world is so big that in the eyes of Brother Songxi, there is only one corner of Wudang Mountain? ”

When Zhang Songxi heard this, his deep eyes condensed slightly.

At this time, if he couldn't hear the meaning of Ding Ye's words, he would really be ashamed of his reputation as a wise man of Wudang's seventh son.

After a short silence, Zhang Songxi asked in a deep voice, "Brother Xian has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, you don't need to hide it." ”

……

Half an hour later.

Ding Ye looked at Zhang Songxi's disembodied appearance and chuckled.

"Meng Yuan has no way, and we Han people have been suffering from the tyranny for a long time...... In the past, the other side was powerful, and my husband could still endure humiliation for a while, but since the Tianli years, the upper echelons of Mengyuan have been infighting, and they have long been separated from morality, and their control over the world is not as good as before......"

"The eldest husband was born in this life, if he can't do a great career, won't he disgrace this high-spirited seven-foot body?"

"What's more, Brother Songxi feels that Brother Zu's blood feud is deep, and it is enough to kill a few dog thieves from the King Kong Gate in the Western Regions? The rights and wrongs of this, the mastermind behind the scenes, you and I both know it......"

After Ding Ye finished speaking, he looked at the shore closer and closer to the distant shore, and suddenly laughed loudly.

"Brother Fool is all he says, and I hope Brother Songxi will think about it more...... Foolish brother one step ahead! ”

When Zhang Songxi heard this, he saw that the fleet was still several miles away from the shore at this time, and he was still puzzled by what Ding Ye meant.

"Borrow a sword."

But he saw Ding Ye take advantage of the situation to draw the long sword from the Wudang disciples who were accompanying him, and then stepped a little, and jumped towards the vast Han water.

Zhang Songxi looked startled, and Huo Ran got up.

I saw Ding Ye's figure like a frightening lonely goose in the sight, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared on the Han River, stepping on the Wudang standard long sword, and galloping towards the opposite bank like a lightning speed.

……

"O heaven! It's really a celestial being! ”

"Hurry up and meet the celestials!"

The people who were lucky enough to see this scene on the shore of the Han River all exclaimed.

And these ragged people, who have even been emaciated beyond human shape, may be more appropriately called disaster victims.

After seeing this almost miraculous existence, under the premise that someone took the lead, he quickly knelt on the ground as if he were greeting the sacred.

Ding Ye, who saw this scene from afar, narrowed his eyes slightly, and only moved his lips slightly.

There was a loud noise on the shore a little beyond that.

"Everyone, please get up!"

And those people who were affected suddenly lost their minds for a while when they suddenly heard this loud sound that seemed to be ringing in their ears.

Then, I heard someone exclaim, "So far away from us, you can even pass on the words, this celestial person is really powerful!" ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

In the midst of the sound of recognition, someone suddenly said in surprise.

"Since the heavens and men are so powerful, they will definitely be able to save us! Let us be merciful to this celestial man! Help us! ”

As soon as the words fell, the entire shore of the Han River soon prayed and pleaded.

"Celestial! Save my family, and give us a bite to eat! ”

"Celestial! My mother is sick! Please save her! I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you in the next life! ”

……

The chaotic words on the shore drifted towards Ding Ye along the direction of the wind.

With Ding Ye's current ear power, he couldn't distinguish half of the sentence.

However, the despair in his voice still made Ding Ye feel a little sullen in his heart.

Ding Ye sighed softly, looked at the shore close at hand, stepped heavily under his feet, and kicked the small flyboard shaped like a surfboard under his feet.

When the whole person flew into the air, he quietly grabbed the Wudang long sword in his hand, and finally landed firmly on the shore.

Well, in the scene just now, 'crossing the river with a reed', he Ding Ye played in the water.

After all, with his current innate strength, it is indeed impossible to do this......

And those victims looked at Ding Ye's miraculous performance, but they were convinced.

Looking at Ding Ye who walked towards himself and the others step by step, there was a bit of fear in his eyes with eager desire.

It's just that the fear quickly dissipated a lot when it hit Ding Ye's eyes full of compassion and smile.

"Ask the heavens to save me and other miserable people!"

First, a thin old man bowed to Ding Ye with a crying voice.

"Elderly, please get up!"

Seeing this, Ding Ye hurriedly stepped forward, and a soft true qi was handed out, helping the old man up.

As he spoke, Ding Ye's eyes scanned the crowd in front of him with compassion.

"I know all the sufferings you have suffered now, and I have come here today for this purpose!"

"This flood disaster should have been a humane matter, and it stands to reason that this seat should not have been asked!"

"However, the heavenly heart of this seat is heavenly, but I can't see such a human tragedy no matter what!"

"That's it! Since you wait for the human court to care! Then it's up to this seat to take care of it! Rest assured! This seat Etier and others have prepared enough food, and they can come along the river in just a moment! It's enough to get you through this catastrophe! ”

Listening to Ding Ye's subdued and frustrated words, the people present were suddenly so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

"Celestial, is what you said true?"

It's just that this great thing is a good thing, but naturally some people are a little unbeliever.

When Ding Ye heard this, he was not annoyed, and smiled slightly.

"This seat never speaks ......"

After saying this, Ding Ye saw the shadow of the boat gradually appearing in the distance, and pointed to the Han River.

"Look, isn't that coming?"

……

Zhang Songxi and his entourage of Wudang disciples slowly docked with the hastily mobilized grain ships.

Among the victims, those who were literate wept with joy when they saw the word "grain" in the big bucket.

"Grain! Grain! There really is food! ”

And those victims who heard this instantly became in a commotion, and their eyes seemed to be flashing with a green light like a hungry wolf, and they couldn't wait to rush forward immediately and grab his good one and stuff it in their mouths!

It's just that just when this scene was about to get out of control, everyone heard an explosion in their ears again.

"Silence!"

With this thunderous sound, everyone noticed the unhappy look on the face of the 'celestials' at this time, and looked at each other one by one, finally suppressing the restlessness of hunger in their hearts.

"Now there is plenty of food! Someone will arrange it later! ”

Ding Ye said with a cold face, "But if someone picks quarrels and provokes trouble, then don't blame this seat for being ruthless!" ”

After speaking, I saw that the order in the crowd finally stabilized.

Ding Ye said again, "I heard that someone has a sick mother and a weak child at home? ”

The people who had just seen the majesty of Ding Ye's 'Heavenly Man' were silent for a while, and only after a long time did someone pluck up the courage to say.

"Heavenly ...... Heaven...... The villain's mother is dying, and she asks the heavens to have mercy and save one or two! ”

Ding Ye stood with his hands behind his back, stretched out his hand and said, "Quick!" Lead the way! ”

……

After passing through the crowd, you will see a shantytown-like settlement of the victims.

At this time, Ding Ye's slender palm was gently pressed on the top of the head of an old woman whose face was so thin that she was no longer human.

Then he quickly put it down.

"Celestial! What happened to my mother? ”

The filial son said eagerly.

When Ding Ye heard this, he chuckled and said, "Yes, filial piety is commendable, your mother is no longer in the way......"

While talking, he saw that the old woman who was still gray before struggled to get up and thanked her.

"Thank you, Bodhisattva! Thank you, Bodhisattva! ”

And this scene fell in the eyes of the people around him, and it immediately caused a commotion.

Many people hurriedly said, "Heavenly people, please save my family......"

When Ding Ye heard this, he waved his hand and smiled, "Don't worry, come one by one." ”

……

In fact, the so-called serious illness of these victims is not a real serious illness.

It's nothing more than hunger, weakness, headache and brain fever or something.

It's just that in the current era when there are no antibiotics, even a headache and brain fever can kill people.

If you have the conditions, please ask for a langzhong, and you can still cure it.

If you don't have the conditions, you can only endure hardship, and if you can't survive, you can only wait for death.

Therefore, after this 'spell casting', Ding Ye didn't really spend too much luck value, thousands of points were the top of the sky.

"Celestial, are you really a heavenly arhat bodhisattva?"

A little girl with a yellow face and thin muscles, with a childlike face.

When Ding Ye heard this, he smiled, reached out and rubbed her little head.

"This seat is not ......"

"Isn't it?"

The little girl suddenly showed a hint of disappointment.

It's just that at this time, Ding Ye shook his head and smiled, "It's a god or a Buddha, is it really that important?" ”

As he spoke, Ding Ye glanced at the people around him with far-reaching eyes, and said with a straight face.

"Now I am in front of you and you are Bodhi, but you don't know ......"

Ding Ye moved under his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he had already crossed the crowd, leaving only a back for everyone.

"But you don't know that the gods and Buddhas in this world are all illusory......"

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked to find that Ding Ye's originally smooth and slippery head had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and a green hair grew in an instant!

……

At this time, Zhang Songxi on the grain ship was also completely dumbfounded.

If it weren't for his identity, he would have been eager to slap himself to make sure he wasn't delusional.

"This ...... This is...... It's true? ”

Zhang Songxi stared at Ding Ye fixedly for a while, before he was sure that the hair was real!

Seeing this, Ding Ye smiled, but did not explain.

Instead, he said directly, "Brother Songxi, my intentions, I have already stated before, if you approve of it, you will collect the hearts of the people of this place for me......"

"This ......" Zhang Songxi frowned and said nothing.

"By the way, I still have a shadow here, if you want, you will take over these things in the future."

Ding Ye said this, his eyes burning as he watched Zhang Songxi's expression change.

After all, in his opinion, a person like Zhang Songxi, who has no shortage of means, and can even be said to be a bit unscrupulous, is really a bit condescending to keep a gentleman's nest like Wudang Mountain.

And with his origin, there is naturally no shortage of those means to pretend to be a god and a ghost, and it is really suitable to put him here.

……

After a long time, Zhang Songxi finally sighed and said, "After the matter is completed, what can I get from Wudang Mountain?" ”

"Rest with the country!" Ding Ye said simply and straightforwardly.

"Good!" Zhang Songxi gritted his teeth and said.

Ding Ye chuckled, and suddenly remembered that when he was in Shaolin two days ago, he also made a promise to his master, Kongjian Monk.

Otherwise, where would you get so much money to buy rice and grain? Win the hearts of the people?

"In this way, this place will be handed over to you," Ding Ye said with satisfaction.

Zhang Songxi was stunned when he heard this, "What do you want?" ”

Ding Ye, who had brushed off his clothes, jumped into a small boat and said in a whisper.

"Ding has always kept his promise, no, go to Dadu and kill people in Wudang Mountain for you!"
