Chapter 197: Jishi Bodhisattva
Ye Suiyun didn't get up, turned back again, and asked, "Why?" β
Qi Yufeng said: "So far, it's useless to talk too much. ο½ο½?ο½?οΌ? r?anwenA'com, if you want revenge, do it. β
Ye Suiyun said: "I've always treated you as a friend, but I don't want to sneak up on you behind my back." β
Qi Yufeng was silent for a moment and said, "You are not a fool, you should know why I can do it." β
Ye Suiyun nodded and sighed, "I underestimated your affection for Xi Yao. β
Qi Yufeng snorted and said, "It's a pity, I also underestimated my junior sister's affection for you." It's ridiculous that I acted in such a despicable way with a clear conscience, but in the end I just let myself understand that I have never had even the slightest place in my sister's heart. He looked at Ye Suiyun and said, "You are chivalrous and generous, and you have saved my life several times, but you can't hide it, except for my master in this world, you are the only person who makes me grateful and admired from the bottom of my heart." β
"But you still shot me behind my back." Ye Suiyun said coldly.
Qi Yufeng's breath seemed to be heavy, he tried his best to calm down, and said slowly: "The moment I sneaked up on you, I clearly knew that I had become a despicable and shameless subordinate. In the rest of my life, I am afraid that I will not be able to stand up and face anyone. The look in your eyes at the moment you fell off the cliff was like a nightmare ghost, which has been haunting my mind all these years, making me not at peace for a day. Speaking of this, Qi Yufeng suddenly let out a burst of laughter full of mockery and helplessness, and said: "Thinking of me, Qi Yufeng, a dignified man, is becoming more and more like a mouse and ghost, and his life is not as good as one day." One word of love, ruins me. He took a step forward and said, "There is too much nonsense, if you want revenge, then do it, I have no complaints." β
Ye Suiyun got up without saying a word, and said, "I'm not you." Walking back around Qi Yufeng, I saw Tang Xiyao standing not far away with a stunned face.
Qi Yufeng's heart was terrible, he was too excited to talk to Ye Suiyun, and he didn't notice that Tang Xiyao came closer, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and he was stunned.
Tang Xiyao's eyes were rolling with tears, and she asked in disbelief, "What you just said is true." "Qi Yufeng has been rebellious all his life, and he is not afraid of heaven and earth. At this moment, under Tang Xiyao's gaze, he felt cold all over his body, his heart was terrified, and he said in a trembling voice: "Senior sisterγγγγγ β
Tang Xiyao shook his head, tears fell like broken threads, and said: "You and I have known each other since childhood, although we are not brothers and sisters, but in my heart, you are like a brother, and you are the person I trust the most." Why...... Qi Yufeng listened to her sad words, the pain in his heart was beyond words, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.
Tang Xiyao put away her tears, grabbed the cuff of her right arm with her left hand and made a hard effort, ripped off a piece with a stabbing sound, and said word by word: "Today, I, Tang Xiyao, and you cut off the robe and break the righteousness, from now on, the grace will be cut off, and goodbye will be the enemy." Qi Yufeng's face was like ashes, his body shook uncontrollably, and he stomped into the forest behind him and disappeared into the darkness.
Seeing Qi Yufeng fleeing, Ye Suiyun also had mixed feelings in his heart. Tang Xiyao grabbed his hand, couldn't help but shed tears, and kept saying, "I'm sorry... Ye Suiyun endured the pain in his body, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, what does this have to do with you, why apologize." As he spoke, he gently wiped away Tang Xiyao's tears. After this night's catastrophe, Ye Suiyun was physically and mentally exhausted, returned to the small temple, and snuggled up to sleep with Tang Xiyao.
When he woke up again, it was already dawn, Ye Suiyun rubbed his eyes and sat up, seeing Tang Xiyao and Ah Bu preparing food in the carriage outside, and Bao Yueniang sitting alone on the threshold thoughtfully. Turning his head again, he saw Cui Xiaomo concentrating on something.
Ye Suiyun asked curiously, "What is in your hand?" Cui Xiaomo opened her hand, revealing a small boxy box, and said proudly: "Sister Tang gave it to me." Ye Suiyun recognized it at a glance, it was Tang Xiyao's personal secret weapon 'Rainstorm Tianluo', this secret weapon box was carefully built for Tang Xiyao by Tang Huaizhi, one of the four elders of the Tang Sect, and the power was amazing. Tang Xiyao was in danger several times, and he relied on it to save the day, and Ye Suiyun couldn't help but be a little surprised.
At this time, Tang Xiyao returned to the temple, and when he saw this, he said: "I gave it to Xiaomo, I like this little sister." It turned out that Tang Xiyao had heard Ah Bu talk about the causes and consequences of the encounter with Ye Suiyun, and when it came to how Xiao Mo reacted wittily to rescue Ye Suiyun from Hammura and others, Tang Xiyao was very grateful and happy, so he taught her this box and taught her how to manipulate it.
Ye Suiyun said with a smile: "Second Miss Tang is really good, everyone in the world knows that the secret weapon of the Tang Sect is hard to find, such a treasure, even the next one will be jealous." Tang Xiyao glanced at him and said, "Your martial arts are so high, how can you use these things." Although Xiaomo is smart and clever, after all, the girl's family, with this thing, it will be safer to walk the rivers and lakes in the future. Cui Xiaomo realized that the gift in her palm was valuable, and she pulled Tang Xiyao to be intimate, and finally said: "Sister Tang, since this secret weapon is very valuable, then I can't ask for it, what if you are in danger in the future?" Tang Xiyao pushed her hand back, smiled at Ye Suiyun, and said with a smile: "With your helper brother by my side, there will be no danger." β
At this time, Ah Bu distributed the prepared dry food to everyone, and said while eating: "Helper, look at what kind of god is enshrined in this temple, it looks good." After being reminded by him, everyone noticed that the statue enshrined in the middle of the small temple was indeed a little strange. The gods and bodhisattvas offered by ordinary temples, regardless of Buddhism and Taoism, must be dressed in gorgeous clothes and brocade, and the treasure is solemn. But the carved clothes on the clay statue in front of him looked shabby and ragged, and his face was even darker and dirtier, grinning and smirking.
Tang Xiyao sighed: "I really can't think of any immortal who looks like this." Could it be the City God? Ye Suiyun said with a smile: "It is common for people in various places to have different customs, and the gods and immortals worshiped are even more varied, and there may be nine heavenly gods and Buddhas that we have not heard of, and it is not unusual." β
Ah Bu looked at it for a while, then laughed and said: "The clothes on this guy's body are somewhat similar to the ragged gown I used to wear, could it be that this fairy is also a flower child." A few people took a closer look, as Ah Bu said, the clay statue's clothes were decorated with earthy gray, the hem was broken, and it was dressed like a beggar. Ah Bu said: "Helper, this won't be the ancestor of our beggar gang." When they heard this, they laughed.
At this time, someone outside the temple said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I saw a woman in her twenties standing outside the temple, looking at everyone with an angry expression.
Several people were quite embarrassed, Ye Suiyun hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "We will pass through the precious land and rest in this temple." Seeing the strange appearance of the statue of the main seat in the temple, please don't be surprised. β
The woman's face softened slightly, snorted, ignored them anymore, buried herself in her own care, took out incense, candles, tributes and other things from the basket, and placed them on the stone platform in front of the temple gate. Ah Bu couldn't help but ask, "Eldest sister, what are you doing here?" β
The woman said, "Today is the day of prayer, so I'll prepare in advance." Ah Bu asked again: "What kind of gods are you offering in this temple, it's not that I look down on it, it's a little shabby." The woman glared at him and looked down.
Tang Xiyao pulled Ah Bu and said to the woman with a smile: "Sister, my brother is straightforward, but there is no malice," the woman hummed. Tang Xiyao said: "We are not locals and do not understand local customs. But I also know the truth of burning incense in the temple and worshipping the Buddha in the mountain. When we came here and saw the strange appearance of this temple god, we should be sincere and righteous, worship sincerely, and dare not be frivolous. But I also want to know what kind of god I worship, but I am not very respectful. I also asked my sister for advice. β
The woman listened to Tang Xiyao's proper words, so she showed a smile and said, "This is the Bodhisattva of the world, the immortal who saves people from the world." Tang Xiyao looked up and saw that the word 'Jishi' was written on the temple door, and nodded, secretly thinking that this was the case. Ah Bu interjected again: "I have heard of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Puxian Bodhisattva. This is the first time I have heard of this Bodhisattva. Everyone thought the same, and they all nodded secretly when they heard Ah Buyi say, thinking that they were lonely and unheard.
At this time, a noisy sound was heard, and a few people looked at it, and many people came from the other side of the road, some carrying egg baskets, some carrying food and incense on their heads, and they came in groups of threes and threes. The first old man, with his hands behind his back, walked in the front. The woman stepped forward and said, "Village chief, it's all ready." β
The old man nodded and said, "Everyone has laid out their tributes and is ready to pray for blessings." A group of villagers responded, and they stepped forward to put their own things on the stone platform. Ye Suiyun and the others saw that there were one or two hundred people coming, and they couldn't help but be curious and wanted to see what was going on.
After a while, it finally quieted down. The village chief saw Ye Suiyun and a few people standing aside, and asked, "Who are they?" The woman said, "A passer-by is not a bad person." The village chief nodded and ignored it, lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt down to the ground first, and the villagers behind him also bowed down in turn according to the elders and youngsters in the village.
I saw the village chief holding three long incense sticks in his hand and said: "The yellow sky is thick and the earth is on it, today is September 18, and the old and young people of Pingding Village have come to pray for the blessing of the Bodhisattva. Ye Suiyun and the others knew that this place was called Pingding Village, and it turned out that the blessing they said was not for themselves, but for this Bodhisattva. I only heard the village chief continue: "We know that the Bodhisattva is in trouble, and we are all restless in sleep, like sitting on pins and needles. Although we are eager to do our best to help the Bodhisattva tide over the difficulties, the miracles are ethereal, and we are powerless. Only here I pray to God to bless the Bodhisattva to live a long life and live a long life. β
Listening to the village chief's serious words, Ye Suiyun and the others felt so weird, and Cui Xiaomo couldn't help laughing. Tang Xiyao hurriedly pulled her sleeve, but it was too late. All the flat-topped villagers glared at them.
Cui Xiaomo knew that she was in trouble, but she was unconvinced and said: "Originally, how can there be mortal people wishing the gods a long life and a hundred years old, how funny... Ah Bu hurriedly covered her mouth and whispered, "Grandma, don't stop talking." β
Many of the villagers have shouted "who are they?", "Where are the strangers from?", "Are they here to make trouble?"
Ye Suiyun and the others were embarrassed, and the woman who arrived first saw that the crowd was dissatisfied, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't be angry, everyone, they are just passing passengers, I heard that today is to pray for the Bodhisattva, so I sincerely watched from the sidelines, and there is no malice." With her explanation, everyone's anger eased slightly.
The woman turned to Cui Xiaomo and said, "Little girl, you don't know that Jishi Bodhisattva is not an immortal, but a great hero who is still in the world. He has been so kind to our village that we pray for him on this day every year. Cui Xiaomo blinked her eyes and said suddenly: "So that's the case, this sister, that's really sorry." The woman smiled.
Tang Xiyao said: "Living people set up ancestral halls in the world, which have existed since ancient times, and it is not uncommon, but all of them are great virtuous people. Thinking about it, this big hero must be remarkable. β
The woman said, "That's nature." Tang Xiyao said: "But I just listened to the words of the village chief, it seems that this Jishi Bodhisattva has encountered some trouble?" β
The woman sighed, nodded, and said, "It seems that yes, I heard that the government is arresting him now... At this time, the village chief suddenly said: "Feiqi, disaster comes from the mouth." β
The woman looked back and said, "Village Chief, if you look at their appearance, they won't be from the government, so it's okay to say it." The village chief glanced at Ye Suiyun and his party, among them were either women or children, and the only adult man was bandaged in many places all over his body, obviously the injury was not light, it was indeed not like the government's arrest, the village chief snorted and said no more.
The woman named Feiqi continued: "Jishi Bodhisattva has a great kindness to our Pingding Village, and now he is in trouble, and we really can't do anything but burn incense and pray to heaven to gather blessings for him." You give way until we can continue to complete the ceremony. Then he turned around and went back. Tang Xiyao and Ye Suiyun hurriedly leaned back when they heard this, gave up their place, and apologized to the village chief and the villagers.
At this time, Cui Xiaomo asked coldly: "Dare to ask what the name of the Bodhisattva is, my brothers and sisters are well-informed people, and they may have heard of it." β
Fei Qi blurted out: "Jishi Bodhisattva's real name is Ye Suiyun. β
