Looking at this old monk who came quietly, I didn't know what to say, but I subconsciously tightened my clothes and raised my eyes to look at him.

The old monk looked at the big-headed Buddha lying motionless on the ground, then at me, and said, "He's going to die." ”

I don't know why, but as soon as the old monk spoke, I felt as if things had taken a turn for the better, so I quickly turned over and stood up, and said, "Master! Can you save him! ”

"Who is he?"

I was speechless for a while, because in the face of this dusty old monk, I felt that I couldn't even tell a lie, and I hesitated for a long time before slowly lowering my head and saying: "He is a wicked person who eats human flesh raw."

"It's a wicked man, and you still want to save him?"

"However, he is a good man who desperately saves people"

"Eating human flesh raw, isn't it miserable for people to be eaten by him." The old monk spoke approachablely, unlike the great monks in the ancient temple, the words were fine, and the words were sharp, he said: "Have you ever eaten meat? ”

"I've eaten it."

"Then in the eyes of pigs and sheep, you are also a meat-eating villain." The old monk slowly sat down cross-legged and said, "How do you divide the good guys from the bad guys?" What is right and what is wrong, how to divide it? Huangchao eats 300,000 people, and to this day, when it comes to him, everyone remembers that the city is full of golden armor, who still remembers the tragedy of the year. ”

The Yellow Nest at the end of the Tang Dynasty was rumored to have killed eight million. He led the rebel army to attack Chenzhou, because of the lack of food, the 3,000 stone mills in the camp worked day and night, smashing all the villagers near Chenzhou, including prisoners of war, into meat paste and used as military rations.

"He eats people, in the eyes of the villagers of Chenzhou, he is a demon, but without food, hundreds of thousands of his subordinates will starve to death, he makes the soldiers eat their stomachs, in the eyes of his subordinates, he is a good person." The old monk said: "In this world, there is nothing right or wrong, good or bad. ”

The old monk's words were like an initiation, and I seemed to understand something, but I was still confused. My heart is very chaotic, and I only think about whether the big-headed Buddha can live. I think this old monk is not as ordinary as he seems on the surface, as if he has grasped the last straw and begged, "Can he still live?" Can it be saved? ”

"I don't know." The old monk turned his head to look at the big-headed Buddha again, and said, "His injury is not an ordinary injury, about 20% chance of living." ”

At this time, don't say that there is only a chance of two percent, and I don't want to give up. I turned over and wanted to kneel down and beg the old monk, he raised his hand to hold my arm, and said: "No need, no thanks, can be saved, naturally saved, this person is not extremely evil, as long as it is not so evil that there is no cure, there is still salvation." ”

I was suddenly excited in my heart, and eagerly asked the old monk what things and what medicinal materials to prepare to save the Datou Buddha. The old monk shook his head and said, "I'll take him away." ”

The excitement and joy that I had just risen up vanished, and the old monk would not immediately save the Buddha at this time, but would take him away, which made me have a trace of doubt in my heart.

"It's useless to save people, save your heart." The old monk sighed and said, "There is nothing right or wrong in the world, so you can only do those things that most people think are right, save him, he still has to eat people, and sooner or later there will be no good end." ”

To be honest, I was quite hesitant. Before, I simply believed in everyone who appeared around me, but the more I experienced, the more I felt that people were full of deceit, which made me naturally wary and suspicious of strangers. But I have no other way, just guard the big-headed Buddha like this, and he won't last long before he dies completely. I thought hard for a long time, constantly observing the old monk secretly.

After thinking about it for a long time, I forcibly suppressed the last trace of doubt in my heart, because there was no other choice.

"If he is alive, he can still see you, but if he is really dead, then he can't." The old monk stretched out his hand and patted the top of the head of the big-headed Buddha and said, "My name is Bairen." ”

The hundred forbearance monk was as thin as firewood, but he stretched out his hand and lifted the two-hundred-pound big-headed Buddha, carried it on his back and walked slowly, I waited until Lei Zhenren came back from looking for water, and then followed all the way. Lei Zhenren looked at the Bairen monk in front of him, his brows were furrowed, and he fell while walking, I was worried about the big-headed Buddha at that time, and I didn't notice Lei Zhenren's abnormality. All the way to a small ferry port downstream, the monk Bairen carried the big-headed Buddha on his back and got on the boat, the boatman untied the rope, and the boat sailed away from the ferry like an arrow.

Looking at the hundred forbearance monk and the big-headed Buddha gradually disappearing from sight, a familiar feeling rose in my heart, as if the old ghost was walking away alone, my heart was empty, as if the person I could rely on could never come back. I don't know if Monk Bairen can save the Buddha, but I hope he will get better.

"That one" Lei Zhenren reached out to pat me after a long time, and stammered: "Where did the monk come from?" ”

"Passing by." I was in a melancholy mood, and I was patted by Lei Zhenren before I withdrew my gaze, but the moment my gaze was withdrawn, I found that his face seemed to be squeezed by something, his facial features were pinched together, and his brows were furry: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"That monk" Lei Zhenren seemed to be puzzled, and seemed to be frightened, and said: "That monk"

"What? Do you recognize? ”

"I think I recognize it." Lei Zhenren smacked his lips: "I don't recognize it, I've just seen it"

"Then why didn't you say it earlier!" I was shocked and grabbed Lei Zhenren's collar: "Who is that monk!" ”

"Dare I say it! If the gentleman doesn't move his mouth, you let go first. Lei Zhenren said: "When I saw him, I lost half of my soul!" Don't worry, listen to me first."

Lei Zhenren has lived in Yinshan Road since he was a child, and his age is the same generation as my grandfather, even if he is young, he is not a few years younger. At that time, his father Lei Zhenren had not passed away, Lei Zhenren remembered that when he was more than ten years old, Yinshan Dao did a transaction, he was young, he didn't understand bullshit, and others didn't take him with him, so Lei Zhenren didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, so he knew that Yinshan Dao sent a lot of people, and there may be other helpers from the side door, running around for more than ten days, and finally got a coffin. Lei Zhenren didn't know where the coffin came from, it was estimated that it had just been unearthed, and the coffin still had new mud on it.

This coffin was carried directly back to Yinshan Road, the river beach is remote and barren, and the coffin is made of cypress, which is already considered a good wood. When the coffin was carried back, several leading figures on Yinshan Road appeared, wanting to carry the coffin all the way to the back mountain. Lei Zhenren hid in a small building in the mountain gate and watched, only thinking that those people were in a hurry and it was very interesting.

Just as the coffin was about to be carried to the back mountain, several ropes tied to the coffin board suddenly broke, and after that, a person jumped out of it. On our side, there are many legends of fraudulent corpses, and the people around them were shocked, probably thinking that they were fraudulent corpses, Yinshan Dao is the best at these, and at that time, there were people who wanted to splash black dog blood.

But no one thought that the coffin that had just been dug out of the mud was a living person, and he was killed in the mountain gate of Yinshan Road, and several leading figures couldn't control the situation.

The person who jumped out of the coffin killed back and forth, jumping the chickens and dogs of the entire Yinshan Road, and finally left the mountain gate in a hurry.

"Although he wasn't wearing a monk's robe at the time, I still remember what he looked like." Lei Zhenren looked at the small boat that had already disappeared from view, and said, "It's very similar to the monk just now." ”

I glared at Lei Zhenren angrily, my heart was clenched again, the big-headed Buddha's life was hanging by a thread, and at this moment he was taken away by a person of unknown origin. What Lei Zhenren said happened a long time ago, so many years have passed, and the hundred ninja monks don't seem to have changed much, except for the lotus divine tree, except for the demon tail of the holy realm, I can't think of anything else that can make people stay the same for decades.

Who is the Hundred Ninja Monk? He has lotus wood on him? Or is there a tail?

Now it is almost impossible to catch up with the boat. I was annoyed, but I seemed to gradually understand a truth in my heart, from the time I left Xiaopanhe, many experiences seemed to be accidental, and it was only because of chance that I happened to meet. But at this moment, I suddenly realized that many things were arranged as if there was a clever person who had arranged them a long time ago.

It's hard to say about life, and when it wants to let someone or something around it leave, it can't be saved in any way.

It wasn't until this time that I secretly took out what the big-headed Buddha had quietly handed me in the octagonal tower. It was a small box, it was a long time, and when I received the box, I didn't care about checking or feeling it at all, but at this time, as soon as I picked up the small box, I felt inexplicably familiar.

I shook my head, and there was a layer of rosin on the side of the box, and I cracked on the rosin and gently opened the box a crack, and I gasped.

Inside the box was a severed hand, as hard as iron. Each family in the Seven Gates has a severed hand, which was handed down by the old grandfather, but there is no mark on the severed hand, and I don't know which one it is. This severed hand must have been snatched by the big-headed Buddha from one of the Seven Gates, but he didn't have time to hand it over to other people in the Holy Domain. So far, I don't know what the severed hand is for, but Grandpa and the old ghost take them very seriously, and I thought about it for a while, and carefully hid this severed hand and the severed hand in our house.

The big-headed Buddha is gone, I don't know if I'm alive or dead, and I don't know what the outcome will be. Lei Zhenren and I had no choice but to continue to look for medicine. Eat and sleep in the open air, all the way. Unconsciously, more than a month later, the weather gradually began to get colder, and we found five or six flavor medicines, but the two most important ones still did not fall.

On the Yellow River, the fist is really the last word, I know this very well, and I don't know how many times I sharpen the method left by the big-headed Buddha every day. The body is getting stronger and stronger, and the strength is getting stronger. We don't dare to show our heads casually, walk in the field, sleep in the field, and when we can't stay up, we will find a remote "top shop". Hitting the tip shop is a local dialect, to put it bluntly, it is actually a wild shop that keeps people to eat and live, Tongliao line to the north, called the big car shop, and the river beach is called the tip shop.

At that time, it was probably the end of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and I was like the earth donkey tossed by Lei Zhenren, rushing for days to find medicine, and my tongue was purple again, and I was quite anxious. Not to mention whether Lei Zhenren is good or bad, when he thinks that his life is connected with this bad old man, an indescribable melancholy rises in his heart. After the sun went down, we found a bunk and asked for some food and drink, intending to have a good night's sleep and then continue on our way the next day.

"Don't be discouraged." Lei Zhenren changed into ordinary people's clothes, like a thin ghost, and said while eating: "You and I are both young, and the days are still long, look for it slowly, you will always find it." ”

"Fuck you." I was irritable, I wanted to drink, but I was afraid that the life continuation diagram behind me would appear, so I had to give up.

The meal was about to be finished, and we were going to go back to the room to sleep, but it was not very cold at this time, and the big kang with corn stalks was hot, and it was comfortable to think about it. As soon as the two of them pushed the empty rice bowl, there was a donkey barking outside the top shop, and the sound of rolling wheels, followed by Lei Zhenren's nose like a big dog, sniffing back and forth.

"There's someone out there." Lei Zhenren sat down again and whispered to me, "It's a heavy medicinal smell." ”
