Chapter 126: Misfortune (1)
Cuicui said: "We are very grateful!"
"Don't say that. We don't have enough money to repay him for saving our family. β
"In that case, we won't mention it!"
"In fact, the benefactor who sent your child home hasn't left yet. β
"He didn't go?" asked the startled couple.
"Because he fell asleep, we didn't want to wake him up, so we had to say that he was gone, and we're really sorry," Cuicui said. β
"No, no!" he fell asleep. Don't bother him. We'll save something to eat and wait for him to wake up. β
Cuicui said: "Maybe he is sober and not sure now. Brother Leopard, go see if he's awake. β
Shang Liang in the house knew that he couldn't hide, so he had to run out: "I'm awake, there's no need to hide." β
When these people wanted to bow again, Shang Liang quickly stepped out of the way and shook hands with him.
"No, no," he said, "if you do, I'm going to die tonight." β
The couple was stunned, and Cui Cui said, "Yes! He has a strange disease and does not want to be worshipped." When he worships him, his hands and feet cramp and he dies before the night ends. If you think he will live a long time, don't worship him. It is better for you to give him wine to drink than to worship him.
Shang Liang said: "Yes! Yes, as long as I drink a few bowls of wine, I can live to be 100 years old!"
The couple was even more shocked.
Is there such a strange disease in the world? Drinking a glass of wine can lead to immortality? This is unheard of. But this is a matter of life and death for the benefactor.
They were too frightened to bow their heads, so they had to say, "Then ask the benefactor to drink a few more bowls of bar." β
"I will, I will. β
The couple opted for a meal rich in brown rice and light wine, accompanied by large plates of chicken, duck and fish, and red peppers.
The family refilled the wine.
The feelings of the people in the mountains are sincere from the heart and not hypocritical at all, so they are rejected.
Cuicui said, "Uncle, auntie, sit down and eat too! I want to know, how did you lose your son and daughter?"
The peasant woman sighed and said, "The little woman's daughter took her brother to the river to wash his clothes, but he never returned. When my husband and wife went to the river, they saw that the people were gone, leaving only a pile of unwashed clothes, and I don't know if they had fallen into the river or if they had turned away. Our whole family was anxious like ants on a hot pot, and they searched along the river for three days and three nights, but there was still no sign of them. I can't imagine that I was abducted by someone else......"
The daughter said: "Four or five days ago, I took my younger brother to the river to wash the family's clothes, and in the middle of the washing, suddenly a boat came, jumped off three bad guys, caught my brother and me on the boat, and scared ......us with a knife."
"My family didn't dare to think about it. β
No wonder the people in the world kidnap and rob others so hate!
Not only did they kidnap a child, but they also brought misfortune to the family.
Even the kind-hearted leopard got angry and said, "It seems that it is wrong that we did not kill them, and it is not right that we did not end their lives." β
Cuicui said, "Amitabha, now do you see that I am not the culprit of the murder?"
After dinner, the couple begged them to stay an extra day or night so that their elderly parents could thank them.
Shang Liang seemed embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, we have something urgent to go, and if we don't leave, we will kill people!"
"Okay, let's stay with you for ten days and a half, okay?" Hearing the news, the couple had no choice but to leave the ship with a pair of children.
After leaving, Cuicui turned to Shang Liang and said, "Are you guilty of deceiving two honest people so often?"
"How did I fool them?"
"You mean, what's the big deal in life?"
"Ahh
Cuicui didn't speak for a while.
Shang Liang said to the boatman, "Senior Brother Wang, do me a favor and push the boat away from the river and sail upstream." Otherwise the couple and their two old men would have come tremblingly, and we would not have been able to go. β
Wang Xianghu said sympathetically: "Yes! It is difficult for them to thank you. β
He waved his hand to the two sailors and said, "Set sail to Leshan tonight." β
In fact, chivalrous people, saving others, are most afraid of other people's repayment and some words of gratitude, so some chivalrous people who do some good deeds are often reluctant to show their faces, leave their names, and leave.
As for the man with clear eyebrows, he was not really a man of chivalrous demeanor.
Leopard asked happily, "Uncle Shang, would you like to go to Leshan with us?"
"What should I do?"
Cuicui asked, "If you don't go, why don't you get off the boat?"
"When I get off the boat now, someone will see it on the hillside, and someone will see it on the Wutong Bridge. Maybe they'll go to the Sycamore Bridge again. How can I deal with that?"
"Then Uncle isβ" Leopard asked.
"As long as it's not far upstream, I'll go ashore quietly, and they won't know. β
"Great, Uncle Shang!"
"Ahh β
As soon as the ship went upstream, Shang Liang really quietly went ashore.
The leopard seemed to have missed something and was shocked. Shang Liang's actions gave him a lot of inspiration and education. He thought: In the future, I will also be like Uncle Shang, do good deeds instead of seeking fame and profit.
Qingqing saw him staring blankly in Shang Liang's direction, so she asked, "Brother Leopard, what are you thinking?"
"He was so nice and saved us a few times and we all misunderstood him at first. β
Cuicui said, "Who told him to pretend to be a ghost!"
At midnight, the boat arrived at Leshan.
Leshan is the seat of the Jiading area, where the Minjiang River, the Dadu River and the Qingyi River meet.
The water and land transportation here is very convenient, with the capital and Qingcheng in the north;
Yibin, Luzhou, Chongqing and other places in the south;
To the west, less than sixty miles from Mount Emei, it is a place where merchants and Xuanling warriors pass through.
As a result, many teahouses, taverns, casinos, and brothels appeared.
The world-famous Leshan Giant Buddha sits on the west wall of Lingyun Mountain at the confluence of three rivers.
The big Buddha at the foot of the river, the river is rolling, and the scenery is beautiful.
Although Lingyun Mountain is not as famous as Mount Emei, it is also a scenic spot in Sichuan Province.
Its watercolors extend beyond Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng.
Lingyun Mountain is green and beautiful.
Located on the banks of the Min River, there is an indescribable beauty.
On the verdant Lingyun Mountain, there is a Lingyun Temple and a Lingyun Tower.
Legend has it that Lingyun Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, with the Temple of Heaven, the Maitreya Palace, the Daxiong Palace, the Tibetan Scripture Building, the Dongpo Building, etc.
Not far in front of the temple is the Leshan Giant Buddha facing the Minjiang River.
The owner of the boat, Wang, went to the lake and lowered the boat to the wine pavilion next to Lingyun Mountain, and the leopard, Cuicui, and Qingqing woke up.
By the moonlight, they could vaguely see the gate of Lingyun Mountain through the window of the hut.
Cuicui asked, "Uncle Wang, arrive?"
"Here, young master, there is still an hour before dawn! You can sleep again, get enough energy, and then go to the mountain to see the big Buddha." β
"Uncle, hard work!"
"Young master, don't say that. It's our habit of staying up all night. β
Where should Cuicui sleep, ran to Qingqing's room, and asked softly: "Brother Qing, is your leg pain better?
Qingqing has the golden medicine of the Tibetan point school, and it has not hurt the bones and meridians, and after a day and a night of rest, he has been able to move.
Cuicui said again: "I don't know if this big Buddha is fun!"
"It's fun, don't you know if you see it tomorrow? In fact, the Buddha statues are the same everywhere. It's just a little bit bigger, and I'm afraid it's not very interesting. β
"Oh, sister, we often go out with our masters, and we don't dare to look anywhere, and we don't dare to play. Now we're going to have fun!"
"Yes, now you're a horse without reins! No one can control you. β
"Ah, isn't my sister like that?"
"My little girl, this place is not far from Mount Emei and Sichuan Province. A lot of martial arts experts come and go. Don't show your skills in every way, lest you get into trouble. β
"I know, girl, is our false master awake?"
"You want to die! How can you say that?"
"Sister, do you still think he's real?"
Qingqing sighed and said, "Anyway, until we find the real young master, we can only assume that he is real. Otherwise, Master knows, she doesn't know how sad, painful, and unbearable it is!"
"Sister, I really hope he's sincere. β
"You're talking nonsense again. β
"Sister, he is honest, kind-hearted, and has high martial arts, I don't know how many times better than our original young master. β
A true master likes to play tricks, but he is not a cunning man.
She vaguely felt that the young master's escape seemed to be for her. Isn't that right? She really wasn't sure.
When the leopard came back, she loved him, she was excited, and she was sorry for the loss of memory.
After many days of being close to Leopard, she seemed to feel that this was not a real young master, but she did not dare to say it, and only tried to think that this was a real master.
Now that she knew that Leopard was not Master's son, she felt very lost.
Where did the real young head go?
For more than a year, there has been no news, and she is worried that the young head has unfortunately died.
She secretly made up her mind that no matter the ends of the earth, in this life and this life, she must find the real Master.
Even if you die, you will find a place to bury him.
Yes, the current leopard is better than the young master, but she can't take the fake as the truth! She hopes that if she really finds it, she will not leave and become the adopted son of the master.
The best part is that this leopard and the young master are twin brothers.
Qingqing and Cuicui talked softly, and the leopard had already woken up in another room.
His inner strength was extremely strong, and he could hear the conversation between Qingqing and Cuicui almost clearly.
When Cuicui said that he was talking to the fake young master and Qingqing, his heart trembled. Yes, what if the white fairy knew that she was not her son? I came out this time, the purpose was to find the real head of the Tibetan sect.
At first, he didn't know how big the Central Plains was, thinking it was only a few hundred miles.
However, after he left the mountain, he realized that the Central Plains was bigger than he could have imagined.
It usually covers an area of several thousand miles and has a large population, not to mention that there are very few people in the area where he grew up.
How could he find them in a sea of people?
He fell into a state of confusion, confusion, contemplation.
As for the conversation between Qingqing and Cuicui, he didn't have the heart to listen.
How to find the missing hiding point is the young head of the sect, which occupies the whole heart of the leopard.
He pondered, preoccupied with how to find it.
Since he left the ancient temple, he has gone through many adventures, experienced many troubles, and come into contact with all kinds of people.
His heart, like white paper, painted in all colors, the lessons of blood, also have inspiration.
He has gradually become a mature teenager from an innocent and simple mountain boy.
Whether it was Cuicui, No Shadow, Elder Mo, Black Arrow Zhan Taiwu, or the Poisonous Dragon King, Uncle Shang, and the male and female traffickers, they all gave him profound inspiration and lessons. One of the most valuable is to be able to see the invisible surface, to achieve the goal, not to go straight to the end, must move people's hearts. How could he find the young master of the Tibetan Point Sect, he locked his eyebrows and moved! Suddenly, he heard the door slam shut.
Cuicui asked outside, "Lazy cat, are you awake?" and this sentence pulled him back from his contemplation.
The leopard said, "I'm awake!"
"Wake up, wash your face, and take advantage of the absence of tourists, let's go to see the Big Buddha together. β
"Okay!" Although the leopard's mind has not yet been resolved, this is the young man's mood, I heard that the big Buddha is very big, and I really want to see it.
"Then go wash your face! We'll be waiting for you in the pavilion. β
After the leopard went ashore, he saw Qingqing and Cuicui in the Linjiang Wine Pavilion, followed by the pillar to the Minjiang River to watch the morning view, and went west in the Dadu River.
On the Dadu River is Jiading City.
At this time, the morning mist on the river surface is like a veil, and the scenery near and far is looming in a haze.
In the morning mist, the morning bell of Lingyun Temple was heard.
Cuicui saw the leopard coming and said, "Why did you come ashore so late?"
"I talked to Uncle Wang for a while. β
"What are you talking about?"
"He let us see the Buddha statue and then went back to the boat for dinner. I asked him the way to the Big Buddha. β
"How?"
He said that a person went up the mountain from Lingyun Gate to Lingyun Temple. The Big Buddha is at the gate, and the other is by the river not far to the south. β
"Let's go from the river. β
They walked a short distance along the river to the foot of the Big Buddha.
The Leshan Giant Buddha is a seated Buddha carved from the cliff of Qiluan Peak in Lingyun Mountain, with its back against the mountain wall and facing three rivers.
It's so big that it's almost impossible to look up.
The bare feet of the Big Buddha alone are taller than a person's toes, and the back feet are like a sloping flat slope, which can sit for more than 100 people.
The whole Buddha statue is as high as more than 20 zhang of Lingyun Mountain.
No wonder people say, "Mountains are Buddhas, and Buddhas are mountains."
The leopard was amazed: "How can this Buddha be so big? How can you see it?"
Cuicui said, "Why do you carve such a big Buddha statue? How many years does it take?"
Above the Buddha statue, a voice suddenly floated down: "No more, no less, a full ninety." β
Leopard, Qingqing, and Cuicui couldn't help but be taken aback.
They looked up and saw a man standing on the back of the Buddha's knee.
He stood in the morning mist, his white coat fluttering.
Cuicui thought that no one would come to see the Buddha so early, but she didn't expect this person to come earlier than them.
From the foot of the Buddha to his hand, which is at least ten zhang high, the two-legged Buddha is as smooth as a straight wall, and cannot be climbed unless they are able to have the skills of a gecko.
"Hey, how did you get there?"
"Climb up!" they were shocked.
How could he climb the smooth stone wall?
The man asked, "Do you want to come up?"
Cuicui said, "Yes!"
The man said, "On the right side of the Big Buddha, there is a nine-pine boardwalk, you can walk along the nine-pine boardwalk, climb the steps, and you can come to it." But be careful, it's dangerous. β
"We're not afraid!" they climbed up the back of the Buddha's hand from the nine-curved plank road. The back of the hand is also a flat stone slab that can stand twenty or thirty people.
Here, it is only half as tall as the Big Buddha.
The man greeted them with a smile and said, "These three little brothers, you have seen the Big Buddha so early." β
Cuicui smiled and said, "Didn't you predate us?"
"Just came. β
"Why didn't we see you?"
"Just from Lingyun Zen Buddhism, you definitely didn't see me. β
Qingqing and Cuicui looked him up and down.
He was a handsome young man in his twenties, mild-mannered, with a smile in his eyes and an amiable demeanor.
Qingqing asked, "Is Your Excellency a scholar?"
The scholar said: "I didn't dare, I just skimmed a few books, and I didn't even take the township exam, so I had to put down the books and travel around the famous mountains and rivers." β
"Can you tell me your name?"
"The surname is Sima, and the name is Qing. What's the name of those three little brothers?"
Qingqing said: "My name is Qin, this is Bai, this is Lili." β
"On this big Buddha, let's sit down and talk together, okay?"
Cuicui listened to it funny, we haven't seen it, we haven't even heard of the name, why do you say that you have admired it for a long time?
She said, "Okay!" and sat down and asked, "How do you know that this Buddha statue has been carved for 90 years?"
"I only heard the Zen master say that from the early excavation of Tang Kaiyuan to the nineteenth year of Zhenyuan, it was completed before and after, and it only lasted for ninety years. β
Leopards don't know history, don't know what Kaiyuan and Zhenyuan are, just listen in amazement.
Cuicui asked again, "Who carved it?"
"It was founded by a monk named Haitong. β
"Why did he carve such a big Buddha statue, and what did he do when he carved it?"
Qingqing hurriedly said, "Hey, why do you say that, Brother Bai?"
The youth smiled and said, "It is said that in ancient times three rivers were joined here, and this river was very turbulent, it often overturned boats and many people drowned in it. Haitong, a monk of Lingyun Temple, couldn't stand it, so he wanted to carve such a huge Buddha statue to protect the safety of the ship's navigation. β
The leopard said, "This monk has a good heart!"
Cuicui asked: "This big Buddha has been carved, won't it capsize and drown?"
Sima Qing shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.
Cuicui raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"I don't know. I can't tell you. β
"You have been carving this Buddha statue for 90 years, why don't you know that the ship has capsized and sunk later?"
"There have been boat wrecks and drowning accidents. β
"Isn't Haitong a liar?"
"I don't know, but there are fewer shipwrecks and drownings than before. β
The leopard said: "Then this big Buddha has aura!"
Sima Qing smiled and said, "Yes!
Floods often occur in the spring, and not only the boatmen dare not sail, but even the itinerant merchants and tourists do not dare to take the boats, and of course, the capsized boats drown!"
