Chapter Seventy-Nine: Opening the Altar
Yu Lan said with a puzzled face: "You, you run slowly, what's going on?" ”
I didn't have time to answer, so I just dragged Yu Lan to the mountain. The slate was extremely slippery, and we finally reached the top of the mountain.
As soon as I arrived at the top of the mountain, I heard a sad cry, which was more heartfelt.
I was out of breath all the way, I put my hands on my knees, and said to Yu Lan: "Hurry, go quickly, see if there is any help." ”
Yu Lan only understood my intentions at this time, she waved her hand, swallowed her saliva and said, "Rest, rest for a while." ”
She said that she would take a break, but her body staggered towards the men.
I was in the courtyard just now and suddenly thought of what the master said, what the master said was that many people who had not arrived in Yangshou went to the underworld early to report the Tao.
It suddenly occurred to me that if I revived these dying people, it would definitely be a great merit, and it would not be in vain for me to become a Taoist priest.
Yu Lan is like a charging general at the moment, the person lying underground is her battlefield, and the medicine bag on her back is her weapon.
I watched her figure shuttling through the crowd from the sidelines, and I felt a heartbeat inexplicably.
It must be admitted that Yu Lan's medicinal skills are really clever, and many people who have been sentenced to death have been snatched back by Yu Lan.
I can't help with medical skills, but fortunately, I still have the strength, and I also joined the team to save people.
At this moment, Yu Lan is already sweating like rain, and it is definitely not easy to treat diseases and save lives.
Yu Lan saw me and said anxiously: "The medicine is not enough, these people are too seriously dehydrated." ”
I frowned and said, "It's all come this far, it's a pity that I can't save it." ”
Yu Lan rolled his eyes and said: "I still have an earthwork, you mix half of salt and sugar, mix half with half, and then get some water to melt it, maybe you can bring back a life!" ”
I have salt, I specially prepared it when I went out, but where can I get sugar?
Yu Lan shouted at me, "What are you thinking about? Move. ”
I spread my hands and said, "Where can I get candy in the wilderness?" ”
"Lollipops aren't sugar!" As he spoke, Yu Lan returned the backpack over.
"Hurry up, grind the lollipop into powder." Yu Lan urged anxiously.
Yu Lan's lollipop is really a miracle......
I yelled at the crowd, "Who has water!" ”
Xiao Bin rushed out with a swish and said, "Come with me." ”
We didn't go far before we saw a spring bubbling with water, and my heart instantly became very open.
According to Yu Lan's earthwork, he fed the water to these people, and Yu Lan let out a long breath and wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand.
I bumped her on the shoulder and said, "It's the first time I've seen you in such a hurry." ”
Yu Lan glanced at me and said, "Big brother, the doctor is benevolent, I'll eat this bowl of rice, can I not be in a hurry?" ”
The two of us sat in place and rested for a long time, Yu Lan got up again and checked these people again, this time, a happy smile appeared on her face, Yu Lan said proudly: "The old people in the house that have not been sealed have been rescued!" ”
Then she said with some loss: "The rest, I can't go back to the sky." ”
I patted her and said, "It's good to be able to save these, you are also a great merit, and I will take care of the rest." ”
I can feel that at this moment, my status in the hearts of the villagers is very high.
I found a high rock, cleared my throat and said, "I don't blame you for being blinded by the crooked ways of the evil sect, but some of you did kill your own parents with your own hands!" Such acts are contrary to human morality and will be punished by God! ”
As soon as these words came out, some people at the scene showed a look of happiness, and some people turned pale.
I continued: "I'm not an immortal, I'm just a Taoist priest, since I have the fate to come here, your affairs will be taken care of to the end, but you must cooperate!" ”
For many people, this sentence is a life-saving straw, and the villagers agree with it.
I looked at them with complicated eyes, and secretly sighed in my heart, I saved their lives, but I couldn't wake up their hearts after all. To this day, they can still trust a stranger unconditionally. Perhaps, between ignorance and honesty, there is only a thin layer of paper.
A bold idea popped up in my mind - open the altar!
This is an unprecedented challenge for me, and opening the Dharma altar is not the same as simply chanting, it is a huge project.
If the chanting is a first-grade child, then the Dharma altar is at least a high school student.
When I said this decision, Yu Lan was very surprised, Yu Lan has never seen me open the Dharma altar since he knew me to this day.
I whispered, "Not only am I stressed, but I am also very difficult. ”
Yu Lan looked at me puzzled and said, "Difficult? ”
I nodded and said, "There are no magic weapons, no magic clothes, no Taoist children, no altars, nothing." ”
Yu Lan said softly: "Nothing, what are you doing?" ”
"I still have a heart." I looked into the distance and said quietly but firmly.
I called Xiaobin, told him the plan, and asked him to help me build an altar. This altar is divided into two layers, the upper circle is lower, the upper round altar is three zhang high, three zhang wide, and the lower square altar is six zhang wide.
The upper layer is golden yellow, the lower layer is vermilion, and the middle is painted with Bagua Taijitu.
Xiaobin looked embarrassed and said, "Such a big project will definitely not be completed in a short time." ”
I said seriously, "I know it's difficult, but once it's done, you're immeasurably meritorious." ”
I really didn't fool him with this, many people chose to donate money and materials when the Taoist temple or temple was first established, which can be regarded as an indirect construction of the temple, including gilding the statue of the god, etc., which are all supreme merits.
In the most common saying, when people's heels are not yet firm, you help them build houses, can you not miss you?
Seeing my expression, Xiaobin thought for a long time, and said firmly: "I'll help you do this." ”
The old people on the mountain gradually recovered a little, and these bewildered young people finally became clear-headed, they carried their parents down the mountain, and Xiaobin also returned to the village with the task.
At this moment, there was only a bright moon, a wisp of breeze, and two young people left in the mountain.
The mountain breeze at night is very gentle, and it is very comfortable to blow on the body, and it is a sin to speak loudly at this moment.
Yu Lan gathered the broken hair around his ears and asked softly, "Why do you have to get a Dharma altar this time?" ”
I stared into the distance and said slowly: "I know how many pounds and taels I have, and I also know that there are many difficulties, which is also my temporary decision, but I know that it is not difficult to save people, but it is difficult to save my heart." Tu Niang Niang was surrendered by me, the god in their hearts completely collapsed, and they chose to believe in me unconditionally, if I was a bad person, wouldn't they be bewitched again? So what is the difference between going back and forth for a long time? ”
Yu Lan looked at me sideways and said, "Can I understand that you are sending the Buddha to the West?" ”
I smiled calmly and said, "Perhaps, it should be understood as cutting grass and eradicating the roots." ”
Yu Lan didn't respond, as if thinking about something.
Suddenly, she turned my head, stared at me tightly, and said solemnly, "You have changed. ”
I asked, confused, "Am I changed?" What has changed? ”
Yu Lan stared at me and said seriously, "You have become cold-blooded. ”
I immediately understood where this came from, she was referring to me killing a litter of yellow skins.
I sighed and said, "I admit that it was really cool at the time, that sense of accomplishment, that sense of satisfaction, unprecedented, but after calming down, I did feel a little weak in my heart." ”
Yu Lan leaned his head on my shoulder with a big grin and muttered, "I know that you are not only living for yourself, you really want to take revenge, the kind you dream of." But, that's not a reason for you to sacrifice your Dao heart, what do you say? ”
Hearing this, I was like being struck by lightning, my back was in a cold sweat, I finally found the reason for the weakness in my heart, objectively speaking, even if I kill Tu Niang Niang today, it is not too much, it is suppressing evil, this is the way of heaven.
But I killed the little yellow skins when I didn't have any evidence, and that was completely out of my selfishness.
If you are wronged, you should also kill the right master, not indiscriminately.
The reason why Taoist priests are called Taoist priests is because they have the "Tao" in their hearts. This path can be anything but not selfish desires mixed with self-emotion.
A series of thoughts collided in my head, and suddenly, I fell into infinite contemplation, and suddenly, a rapid shout from down the mountain pulled me back to reality......
