Chapter 4 Bayan
That night, the thin monkey was sleeping soundly, and suddenly something fell from the roof of the house, and fell to the ground with a bang, so shocked that the thin monkey thought it was an earthquake, and quickly got up!
When he rubbed his eyes, he found that there was an extra ball of meat in front of him, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was not anything, but a person, and this person was none other than the cheap master Bayan he had gotten!
However, Bayan was in a very bad state at this time, he was already unconscious, his body was full of blood, his eyes were swollen, and the thin monkey took a closer look and found that his eyes had been gouged out, which made people scared!
"Why is he like this? Could it be that he was chased and killed by that aunt? The thin monkey guessed, he didn't dare to step forward, he touched him lightly with his fingers, and called out to the master one by one, but Bayan didn't answer, it seemed that he was really unconscious!
Looking at Bayan, the thin monkey had mixed tastes in his heart, at the beginning, he just agreed to be his apprentice in order to tie up this person, and he agreed to be his apprentice for cheapness, but he didn't get the benefits and broke his arm, and now he meets him like this, thinking that he uses a little beggar as a shield, and he simply regards human life as a mustard, and the thin monkey is a chill in his heart
"Do you want to end him up?"
The thin monkey thought like this, but then thought again: "He is a big villain, that little lady thinks that he is a good person on the right path, this world is originally filthy, what kind of good people and bad people?" Why should bad guys be killed by so-called good guys? If I kill him, I won't make the righteous and good people happy, hmph, I won't let them get their way! ”
"But if I don't kill him, will I be in danger? Although he said to accept me as an apprentice, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is inevitable that he has no good intentions! The skinny monkey was momentarily entangled.
But he didn't dwell on it for a while, and Bayan had already woken up
"Who?"
His eyes couldn't see, and when he woke up and felt the shadow of a person, he was furious at that time, thinking that whoever wanted to sneak attack him, he was already a frightened bird, but in the face of a mortal like a thin monkey, he grabbed his hand with one hand!
"It hurts! Master, it's me! It hurts.. ”
The thin monkey cried out in pain, and Bayan grabbed his severed left hand, causing him to tears to fall.
"Skinny Monkey?"
"Yes, Master, let go. This hand of mine is broken, and it hurts me to death! The skinny monkey shouted
"Huh?" When Bayan heard the voice of a thin monkey, he was relieved, and when he heard him say that his hand was broken, he was also strange for a while: "Why did your hand break it?" ”
The thin monkey didn't dare to hide it, so he told the story that he had met a girl and was broken by the girl's arm.
After hearing this, Bayan's face remained the same, and then he gently took the thin monkey's hand again, and the thin monkey was inherently puzzled when he saw him like this, but he didn't ask anything. Xin said: "What can you see when your eyes are gone?" ”
"It's just that the bones are broken, the tendons and veins are not obscenely damaged, and it's only a matter of time before they return to normal!" Bayan touched it and said.
When the thin monkey heard that it could be cured, he was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Master, do you have a way?" ”
Bayan didn't answer immediately, but lowered his head and was thinking about something, the thin monkey didn't know why, and he didn't want to make a sound again, just looked at Bayan with anticipation
As if feeling the gaze of the thin monkey, after a while, Bayan said slowly: "Originally, I planned to pass on your own cultivation techniques, and within half a month, your arm will be no different from before, and even stronger than before!" But now, I've changed my mind! ”
When the thin monkey heard that he was going to pass on his cultivation exercises, he was excited for a while, but he said that he had changed his attention, thinking that he had not done well enough to annoy him!
This thin monkey was so anxious that he almost jumped up and down: "Master, is it that the disciple did something wrong, you said, the disciple must change, and please pass on the master to me the method to cure this broken arm, and the disciple will definitely serve the master before and after the saddle in the future!" ”
"Kneel down and kowtow to me!"
Bayan looked at the thin monkey with an indescribable expression, saying that he couldn't see it, but he looked at the thin monkey with a focused expression, and he didn't seem to be blind
The thin monkey felt a sudden surprise in his heart for no reason, but he still knelt down and kowtowed to him a few times according to his words!
"You don't have to panic, I said to pay attention, not to say that I won't treat your arm, but there is another opportunity for you, I may not live long!" Bayan said this, burying his head and pausing! His face was a sweet purple color, and his expression was uncertain, and it seemed that he was not false when he said that his limit was approaching
"Master, did that old Taoist aunt do it?" When the thin monkey heard him say that he was going to die, his heart was also a little sad.
"No, yesterday Dao Gu chased her to the cave, I didn't care about you and ran away first, not because the teacher abandoned you, but because the teacher really couldn't beat her, so I avoided her first! She is a decent family, even if she finds you, it won't hurt you if she doesn't know the relationship between you and me! But not long after I got out of the mountain, I was ambushed by my junior brother! ”
"Senior brother?" The thin monkey was a little surprised, how did this matter involve the monk's junior brother?
"My junior brother is an extremely smart person, I want to use the phoenix to open the Tibetan door after all, the junior brother knows after all, the Daoist aunt who came from the broken temple was attracted by him, otherwise how would that Daoist aunt find me, but you don't understand these things now, so I won't tell you the reason!" Bayan said this, knowing that the thin monkey didn't understand, and he didn't explain.
The thin monkey knew that there was this foreshadowing that day, and he was surprised for a while, although he didn't know what happened to this Bayan and his junior brother, but there must be a lot of stories in it, he didn't say it, and the thin monkey didn't know
"Then I was mortally wounded but I didn't die anywhere, I escaped, and my master once told me that the most dangerous place is the safest place! I'm back here, I'm running away from here, they don't even think I'm hiding here! Saying this, Bayan's face appeared smug.
"I just didn't expect to run into you here again..."
Monk Bayan took out two items from his chest and handed them to the thin monkey
A palm-sized token, a sheepskin
"This is the map? "The thin monkey looked at the sheepskin given by Bayan, and found that it was actually a map with two big characters written on it, and the thin monkey only recognized one green character!
"Can you read?" Bayan's face was ecstatic when he heard him read out the blue characters
He didn't expect that the thin monkey was actually literate, as if the thin monkey was hundreds of times happier than his own literacy!
"Well, I once learned words from an uncle, but I don't know much, only a few hundred words!" The thin monkey thought to himself, what's so great about literacy, Peng Jia's kid has more than 1,000 literates, and he can memorize any ancient scriptures, and he hasn't been beaten by me in the same way, the uncle who taught him to read used to talk a lot, and he was useless as a scholar. What is the use of the little white faces who read, they are all weak!
The uncle that the thin monkey said was the one who saved his life when he was five years old!
When the Skinny Monkey fled from the flood in his hometown, and his brother starved to death, and he couldn't support it anymore, the uncle pulled him out of the pile of dead people and saved his life with a taro, so that many of his survival skills in the year of the famine were learned from that uncle
Otherwise, a five-year-old child, who has experienced war and chaos alone, and survived floods and droughts alone, would have died a long time ago!
Bayan doesn't care if he is literate or not, knowing that he is literate is already very satisfied, because this map, if there is no thin monkey who can't read at all, he has to rely on others to identify it, since he is literate, it is much more convenient, and this secret will not be leaked out
"Qingzhou, it's Qingzhou, there is a treasure hidden on this map, that is your chance, as for how to take out your chance, it's up to you!"
"There are also a little tricks written on this map, some words don't know and don't matter, you must have a way, after all, you are not stupid! However, this secret is only known to this sect, and my junior brother naturally knows it, but he doesn't have a map and a token, and he can't find it and can't get in, and he won't count you if he doesn't know you, so you must be careful, otherwise, your life won't be saved! "Bayan explained everything to the thin monkey as seriously as he would explain the aftermath!
"There is a Buddha statue on the map, three hundred and thirty-three zhang high, thirty-three zhang wide, such a big Buddha statue can be seen even by a blind person, there is a magic trick in the right ear of this Buddha statue, you take it out and practice on it, it can naturally heal your broken arm, and it can make you live a long life, but you must collect the other things inside, don't leak it out, otherwise your life will not be guaranteed, you remember my words, I am for your good!"
"As for what you can cultivate, it's up to you! It can heal your arm, originally I wanted to pass on my exercises to you, but I was afraid that this method would mislead you, come, you come and sit with your back to me, and I will wash your dust! ”
"This is an opportunity that those so-called geniuses don't have!" He admonished
Bayan coughed lightly twice, the thin monkey was a little worried about his injury, and asked him to rest first, and talk about other things later, but he shook his head, wanting to say something but in the end he still didn't say it
just said: "It's too late, you sit down in front of me, sit down!" ”
The skinny monkey sat down as he was told
Bayan pointed at the center of the thin monkey's back, and used all his mana to wash the thin monkey's body behind the thin monkey, and the thin monkey only felt all warm, as if it was baked by the warm spring sun, very comfortable!
So he fell into a deep sleep
"Well, it's so comfortable!"
This is a sentence that the skinny monkey said before he went to sleep
I don't know how long it took for the thin monkey to wake up from his sleep, and I don't know if the dust washing that Master said was finished? Stretching his waist, he turned back unhurriedly, wanting to ask Master Bayan if he could
But as soon as he turned around, he was shocked! Bayan's body had changed at this time, and he had become withered, and his withered face did not have a trace of brilliance, but his face showed a kind look
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
But Bayan did not answer
The skinny monkey sniffed out of him and found that he had been dead for a long time
"Didn't you say there were a few months left to live?" The thin monkey was shocked in his heart, but then he thought that he might have become like this because he was washing his own dust!
Actually, the thin monkey was right, washing the dust is not cultivation. It's that a master above the foundation uses all his skills to help a mortal comb his body, not to remove impurities and condense the body in cultivation, but to wash the dusty body, and on the path of cultivation, it will have some unique effects that have not been washed away, making the path of cultivation more spacious
However, there are very few people in this world who are willing to spend their lives helping others wash the dust, even if it is a father and son
For a long time, the thin monkey didn't really regard him as a master, so he just knelt down and kowtowed to the master just to let him heal his arm, but he didn't expect him to treat himself so seriously
The thin monkey felt a sour feeling in his heart, he regarded him as a bad person, but it was this bad man who used his life's work to help him wash the dust! Saying that he is not bad, he does use the life of a little beggar as a cover, saying that he is bad, but treating himself like this, the thin monkey's heart churned for a while, and suddenly, he did not understand the good and evil in the world
He was stunned for a long time, thinking about the truth of the world, but he couldn't understand it, so he had to get up and go to the backyard to find a plank and dig a hole
The skinny monkey buried Bayan
He seriously kowtowed a few times to his tombstone, which he made of wood, and nothing was carved on it, although the thin monkey knew what to engrave, but the word master, he really never took it seriously, and he didn't know how to write most of the words
"I'm sorry!"
The thin monkey said silently in his heart, and after kowtowing a few times, he left!
Back in the front hall of the ruined temple, the thin monkey took a jar out of the corner of the ruined temple from under the floor tiles covered with grass
The thin monkey took out the one hundred and twenty-one cents and counted them. This is what he saved, and the little beggars who lived with him for a few years did not know that he had such a huge sum of money!
He took the money, although he already knew the number of copper coins in it, but he still counted them carefully one by one, and after confirming that there was indeed no less, he carefully packed it in a cloth bag, put it in his arms, and touched it in his arms before leaving the broken temple in great stride......
