Chapter 49: The Excalibur Unsheathed

The old man twisted his beard and said, "That's right, but that ghost is really powerful, and the warlock wizard who claimed to be strong in his skills before invited a lot, but either he ran away secretly when he got the money, or he was eaten to the point that only a pile of white bones remained, and it was us who suffered in the end."

"Patriarch, rest assured, if I go up the mountain, I will not ask for any of your money. The monks are compassionate, just to get good karma, educate the people, and follow the good flow. ”

"I heard that there is Buddhism from the West that can benefit sentient beings, is this true?"

My words obviously moved the old man's heart, and listening to his tone was much more polite.

"That's right, my Buddha Shakyamuni's Dharma is boundless, penetrates life and death, and takes it as my responsibility to purify all sentient beings. Shakyamuni believed that everything is connected by cause and effect. I'm here today, and that's how I get to all of you. Perhaps I am the key to helping you get rid of your bad luck. For the sake of your people, I am willing to sacrifice my life. If you find my bones before half a month, or if you don't see me down the mountain after half a month, it's not too late for you to move. ”

The old man saw that I said sincerely, not like a person who was lying and talking, and he pondered for a moment and made up his mind, "Okay, in that case, I may make a promise that if you can really remove this scourge for my people, I will definitely lead my people to believe in your religion and never break my word." ”

"Then we'll make up our minds."

The old man looked at me again at this time, and said, "Young man, I see that you have come from afar, and you must have been very tired and tired if you are not clothed. So what do you think, let me rest and recuperate your spirits, and I will have them make you clothes, and then you will act when it is dark? ”

I bowed slightly, "It couldn't be better." ”

The old man nodded, "Do you have any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads and said no. The old man said, "Then it's decided." Let's all disperse. Young man, you come with me. ”

I followed the old man into the nearest house to the pavilion. This house is significantly larger than other people's.

The old man politely let me into the room, "Sit." ”

After taking a seat, someone served porridge and steamed buns.

"I just haven't eaten yet, so let's come along."

"Okay."

I knew that eating with such an old man was exquisite, so although I was so hungry that my chest was close to my back, I still managed to eat well and be very elegant. It can be seen that the old man is very satisfied with this.

After eating, someone came and measured me. The old man saw that I was barefoot, and asked someone to find me a pair of cloth shoes to wear. Also made room for me to rest.

I didn't sleep all night before, and I relied on my spirit to carry it, but when I relaxed, I really felt sleepy, and I fell asleep as soon as I put my head on the pillow.

When I woke up again, it was dark, and I had a new dress next to my pillow. When I unfolded it, it was still a monk's robe.

This tailor has two strokes, and he can make it in a good way at a glance. I put it on and the size just fits. I really think that this tailor's craftsmanship is good, not to mention the fast, and the workmanship is good. I praised the tailor in my heart.

When I walked out of the bedroom, I saw a lot of people squatting or standing in the hall. Originally, they were all noisy, but as soon as they came out, they all shut up.

I know that people don't have much confidence in me, and at the moment they are just holding the mentality of a dead horse as a live horse doctor. But the fact that I, a foreigner, can do anything for their personal safety for those who have nothing to do with me, still gives them some respect. Therefore, the villagers looked at me quite kindly.

The old man sat majestically on the top seat, looked me in the eye and said, "If you regret it now, it's too late. ”

I shook my head, "No regrets." ”

"What's your name?"

"The name of the poor monk is pure heart."

"Well, pure heart...... Okay, I remember. Not only will I remember it, but my people will remember your name too. Whether you succeed or not, if you are willing to sacrifice your life and die for our people, such courage is worthy of admiration, please accept my worship. ”

As he spoke, the old man got up and bowed to me, and all the people in the house hurriedly followed me.

I hurriedly helped the old man up, "I can't help it, I can't help it, I will do my best to never suffer in the future." ”

"Okay," the old man waved his hand, "to eat." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone answered the call and served food. I knew that this meal was similar to the meaning of the severed head rice, so I was not polite, and I ate a large piece of food under the eyes of the whole room, and I ate it with a round belly.

Seeing that I had finished eating, the old man waved his hand, and someone offered a package. He patted it and said, "I have prepared some food for you here, you can take it." I reached out and took it.

The old man said again: "Do you have a good weapon?"

I scratched my head, I really didn't.

The old man immediately understood, "If not, I just have one here." "I thought about it, I should prepare one, it turns out that I didn't know the sharp knife when I woke up

Where did it go, it's not a big problem to survive without a weapon, but it's really a bit troublesome to kill the enemy. So he nodded, "If there is, of course it's the best." ”

When the old man heard this, he waved his hand, and someone next to him took a one-foot-long Nanmu box. I took it and opened it, and I was overjoyed.

I saw a beautiful short sword inside. The scabbard is elephant skin, and it is wrapped with golden silk nanmu, which exudes a faint fragrance; The handle of the sword was set with a large ruby. The sword was drawn from its sheath, causing a burst of exclamation. I saw that the sword was cold and dazzling, the sword body was printed with golden patterns, and the blade was as thin as a cicada's wing, it was really a good sword!

Bu Xiao said that this sword looks like an artifact with broken hair and no blade. I didn't expect that there was such a divine object in this remote mountain village, which made me secretly surprised.

I played with the sword for a while, and I liked it very much.

He put the sword down and looked up, not wanting to bump into the strange gazes of a room full of people. It wasn't surprising that it was jaw-dropping, but it startled me and really surprised me.

Only the old man was still calm, stroked his gray beard, and asked me, "Young man, are you still handy?"

"Weigh your hands."

"Then do you know the origin of this sword?"

I shook my head, "I don't know. ”

"This sword is an ancient artifact, its name is Kun, I don't know who made it, and I don't know what material it is. My ancestor also obtained this artifact by chance, and it has always been kept by successive patriarchs, and it is a symbol of the patriarch's identity. However, we are only keeping it and have never seen the true body of this sword. It's not that I don't want to see it, it's that no one can pull this sword out.

Truth be told, I just wanted to give it a try today. If you can't pull it out, we won't have much hope for you, just wait to go back and collect your body. I don't want to have eyes in the sky, it seems that my clan is hopeful!

Strong man, I see that you are courageous, extraordinary, and immortal, and indeed not like mortals. As the so-called sword matches the hero, this sword will be given to you, I wish you success. ”

I originally wanted to refuse, but as soon as I wanted to give them some confidence, so as to save me from worrying about a bad life after I left, I accepted it calmly and said with confidence: "Please rest assured, the patriarch, I will do my best to live up to expectations." However, this sword is too valuable, so I should borrow it, and he will return it one day. ”

The old man nodded, "Okay, then send the strong man on the road." ”

The old man personally led the people, lit torches and sent me all the way to the foot of the mountain, and watched me enter the mountain before returning.
