003 - 12 Buddha beads and 12 beads
After Lou Xixi left, Bai Lu wanted to continue to live a peaceful life as before, but there were frequent uninvited guests.
In the end, in order to save his life, Bai Lu had to leave the small courtyard where he had lived for eight years.
Xiling Pond 卮 (zhī) inside the city.
Bai Lu pulled the gauze hat on his head, then walked to a stall selling Buddhist beads on the side of the road, picked up a string and asked, "Big brother, how much is this?" ”
Seeing that there was business, the peddler hurriedly greeted with a smile: "This little lady, you really have a vision, the Buddhist beads I sell are all made of fine sandalwood." ”
Bai Lu nodded, "How much?" ”
"I wonder what you bought the beads for?"
"For ......"
The people of Xiling were all influenced by the Xiling National Teacher, who not only liked to wear clothes with a sense of flow, but also liked to hang Buddhist beads around their waists or wrap them around their wrists. So, of course, she bought Buddha beads to be more like Xiling.
"The one in the house is broken." Bai Lu made up an excuse at random.
The peddler looked at the Buddha beads in Bai Lu's hand, "The one in the girl's house is also from these twelve?" ”
Bai Lu was a little confused, "Twelve? ”
She just grabbed the smallest-looking, cheapest-looking one.
"Haha, I'm afraid the little lady is not from our Xiling."
Bai Lu didn't expect to be spotted so easily.
In fact, the number of beads in this Buddha bead is different, and the meaning is different. For example, the string of 12 in your hand represents the 12 causes. The 12 causes and conditions refer to ignorance, action, cognition, fame, sex, touch, receiving, loving, taking, being, birth, old age, and death. Among them, ignorance is also beginningless, and because of the unawareness of one thought, we cannot understand the reality of the Dharmas that "all dharmas arise from fate, ten thousand dharmas are extinguished by fate, and all dharmas are impermanence and selfless." Ignorance is innate, so it is called beginningless ignorance, and it is the root ...... of all afflictions."
Bai Lu rubbed her temples, interrupted the gushing vendor, and asked, "So, how much is this?" ”
"Fourteen bucks."
It's really expensive.
Bai Lu took out the money bag from her arms, which was the silver money left by Lou Xixi, but it was not much.
"Give."
Just as Bai Lu was about to take the string of Buddhist beads, a tall figure suddenly slammed into her side, knocking off Bai Lu's gauze hat that covered the scars on her cheeks.
Shocked, Bai Lu hurriedly stretched out her right hand to pull, and at this moment, her left hand, which was holding the silver bag, suddenly lightened.
“!”
Hawker: "Uh...... Your face ......"
Bai Lu didn't bother to pay attention to the stunned peddler, put on her gauze hat, and chased after the long disappeared back with her skirt.
The hawker behind him waved his hand and shouted, "Hey! Your beads! ”
After running for several streets in a row, Bai Lu finally stopped when she was physically exhausted. Her brow furrowed, her heart troubled.
Damn it! That's all her belongings!
At this moment, a tall and tall young man swaggered over.
He was dressed in a peacock pattern brocade dress with blue clouds and beads, and a glutinous floating flower gossip jade pendant was tied around his waist. Behind him followed two glazed-eyed slaves.
Bai Lu's eyes are slightly dark.
This person's outfit doesn't look like a Xiling person.
At the moment when the man passed by Bai Lu, Bai Lu's nose moved.
The scent......
It's him!
Bai Lu immediately gritted his teeth and ran over without hesitation, grabbed the back collar of the brocade-clothed man, and said, "Okay, you little thief, return my silver bag!" ”
Xi Xiao, who was suddenly grabbed by someone, was frightened, "Ho ho ho, what kind of person!" What people! ”
Seeing that the person who came was just a slender woman wearing a gauze hat, Xi Xiao was relieved.
"The silver bag is back!" Bai Lu said.
"What gold bag, silver bag?"
Xi Xiao pulled, but he didn't snatch his collar back from Bai Lu's hand. So he waved his hand at the two slaves behind him and commanded, "Hey, what are you doing stupidly? Why don't you come and help? ”
After seeing the two of them looking at each other, they leaned close to Xi Xiao's ear and said, "Master Xi, you only said that you would let us show off the street behind you." This....... If you need to use physical strength, it is a different price. ”
Xi Xiao cursed: "Stupid! Pedantic! I don't know how to work! ”
Bai Lu's subordinates were a little stronger, but their tone was quite polite: "As long as you return my money to my daughter, I will naturally let you go." ”
"What, what money? Roar, in broad daylight, you little lady is trying to rob? ”
Xi Xiao cleared his throat and said inwardly: "Ahem, I can tell you, even if you are a fairy, this money robbery and extortion is unacceptable!" ”
Bai Lu sneered: "It's obviously Xiaolang, you robbed the little girl's silver money in front, and the little girl is still behind you to ask for it." I really didn't expect that Xiaolang looks personable, and he is also very good at reversing right and wrong and pointing to a deer as a horse. ”
"That's that, Ye Ben is personable and extraordinary. Well? What? You say I'm robbing you of your money? Ha. I want money, but I still need to rob you of the twenty or thirty taels of silver? ”
Bai Lu nodded, "That makes sense." But if you don't take my silver bag, how do you know that it contains twenty or thirty denarii? ”
Xi Xiao was stunned when he heard this, did this really make him clear?
Then he slapped his thigh with remorse.
Oh, I knew that today's mouth was open, he should have gone to the casino to play a game or two!
