Volume 2 Lost at Sea Chapter 33 First Encounter with Two Daughters
Jushan sighed: "No wonder the octopus claw pierced you through your chest that day, but you were not injured, I really think it is incredible, but I dare not ask more." Alas, I didn't expect that the life of the eldest brother would be so miserable! β
While talking, the little second child who ran the hall served four hard dishes: a large plate of fat and thin lamb chops, a freshly roasted fat chicken with oil, a plate of abalone and cucumber roasted oysters, and a plate of brine goosefoot tofu curd.
While pouring wine for the two of them, the runner said, "Guest officer, wait a minute, the rest of the dishes will come soon!" β
When Wu Gang saw it, he forced himself to laugh and said, "Sure enough, it's a big restaurant, and the food is served very quickly." This looks decent, much better than on the ship! β
Jushan saw that the color of this dish was attractive and the appearance was excellent, which was really unprecedented, and he smelled the fragrant meat, and couldn't help but drool with shame...... He tore some mutton and chicken, tore them apart and fed them to the cat, and sighed, "How nice it would be if people could be as carefree as flowers!" β
One was tired of talking, the other was hungry when he listened, and the two of them were not polite, saying "please" and starting to move. Jushan let go of his hands and feet, and he didn't care about eating, so he chewed it. Wu Gang told the past deposited in his chest, and he also had a great appetite, and it was another storm, and the two of them ate very happily.
A woman's laughter faintly came from the private room next door: "Haha, I'm afraid that kid hasn't eaten for three days...... I actually ate it with my hands, why did I swallow even the bones...... He hates him to death...... It may be a beggar gang disciple...... Gigglesβ"
When Wu Gang heard this, although he was displeased, he didn't want to make trouble, and said in a low voice: "Don't pay attention to them, you can just eat and be happy." β
Jushan smiled: "That's nature, Master taught me: everyone in the world suffers, and offerings are not easy to come by, so don't waste a single rice or a mile." I've been eating like this since I was a child, who made me have a good mouth! β
Wu Gang saw that he was just eating meat, and said with a smile: "Meat is difficult to eat, you have to eat something else, this mustard is good!" β
Jushan smiled: "Hehe, this mustard must have mustard seeds." My master once used a mustard seed to open the Nantian Iron Tower, and the "Vima Sutra" once said: With the height and breadth of Sumeru, there is no increase or decrease in the inner mustard seed. β
Seeing that the third master was stunned, he explained: "This means that if it is a Bodhisattva who has attained great enlightenment, it will be okay to put Mount Meru into mustard seeds. β
The girl suddenly came out of their private room, walked to the railing, and threw two pieces of lamb chops with hidden weapons in front of the wild dogs downstairs, which was just right.
The dog was stunned at first, looked left and right, took two lamb chops in his mouth, clamped his tail, fled into the grass behind him and disappeared.
"You have good teeth, you can't eat and wipe clean, how pitiful are the dogs who don't have a home, they can't even mix a bone?" When the girl in red returned to her seat, her eyes swept over the giant mountain, as if she meant reproach. The woman in yellow was indeed not a maid, but she never said a word.
Wu Gang couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, in this world, people can't eat enough, where can they take care of the dogs." β
Jushan nodded and said: "Although I am young, I also know that there are not many fair things in this world, beggars and princes are born different, those Vaishyas (commoners) in Tianzhu are hungry, the Shudras in the lower class are really not as free as the dog downstairs, not to mention the Dalits (untouchables) at the bottom." β
"I've been back and forth to Tianzhu many times, but I don't know what a Dalit is?" Wu Sanye asked.
"They are called untouchables, untouchables. The people of the upper four layers of Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras would never want to associate with them, even if they were born extremely lowly, and after death they did not enter their six realms of reincarnation.
"My master saw that a mother and daughter were really pitiful, and once he gave them food, and when he was discovered, it was rumoredβwhat a brahmin monk was interested in.
The eminent monks and great masters condemned him in unison, and his disciples even threatened him with a boycott and a resignation, claiming that if he was sent again, he would completely defile the Buddha, the Honey Sect and the Brahmins, and would expel him from the Pope. The master finally retreated for 100 days to apologize, and the matter was over.
"I often send food to them in private, but Master should not see me, because I am a person outside the sect, and I am a foreign race in Middle-earth, and my playmates when I was a child knew that I was in contact with them, and they no longer played with me, and finally they all isolated me.
"But I also had an unexpected joy, and since then, I have been dedicated to improving my internal strength, and I have also made some progress." The giant mountain calmed down and told the story, and Wu Gang felt very sad when he heard it.
"Later, I asked Master, did I do the right thing? Master said that I came from the loving and chivalrous Middle-earth, and that I might have done the right thing, but he couldn't help me.
"I really wondered in my heart, if I was wrong, it was the monks and disciples who attacked Master, why did they despise what I did? Third brother, am I doing the right thing? "Giant Mountain Road.
"Alas, it's the same everywhere, Middle-earth is not as beautiful as you think, even if it is Luoyang and Chang'an in the east and west, under the prosperity, there are thousands of desperate poor people, who have nothing to love in life and die like ants." Wu Gang sighed.
"It's okay to be poor, I'm afraid there is no hope, the people of Middle-earth still have a little hope, Tianzhu is really suffocating, don't say Dalit, even Shudra is also dark." Jushan ate and ate, but he lost his appetite.
"Uh-huh!" Wu Gang handed half of the torn roast goose to the Jushan bowl, dug up a spoonful of tofu and gave it to him: "You can also taste this cinnabar tofu, which is fried with the egg yolk of Gaoyou salted duck eggs in Zhongtu, and the color and taste are good." β
Jushan praised: "This dish looks very good, and it tastes a little salty...... This tofu Tianzhu doesn't have it, I've only eaten it in Middle-earth, and the taste is unforgettable! β
"Hehe, after all, you have the blood of Middle-earth, and tofu is suitable for all ages in Middle-earth, who doesn't like to eat it?" Wu Gang said with a smile.
The girl in red suddenly walked over and responded: "I don't like to eat tofu, you have all the bones you eat, and you are here to be compassionate, don't you think it's a bit hypocritical?" β
Wu Gang raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, and said with a smile: "I want to come to the girl who was born in a rich family, you don't seem to have seen it in this world." I'll just happen to have a few taels of silver in my hand, so let's have a good life for two days first. Maybe in two days, it won't even be as good as that dog! β
The girl smiled: "How do you know that I was born into a rich family?" Maybe I'm just a nice ...... What about those who want food? β
The little second child happened to come over to serve the food, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
"What do you see, haven't you seen a beauty? Or do you really think that this girl has no money for you? She took out a piece of gold and threw it on the table, which was five taels, and shouted defiantly.
The little second child even said "don't dare" and hurriedly retreated.
"Huh." Jushan couldn't help but laugh.
"Hehe, you fairy board, you kid, this girl didn't talk to you. Besides, when adults speak, what turn does it take for children to interject? The girl was moody, and she had already put away her smiling face, pulled down her face and grabbed the white way.
"What? If you come to us and spray saliva on the food, won't you let me laugh in my seat? Hehe, I'll just hehe, what are you going to do?
"What's more, if you have more saliva, the taste of the vegetables will fade, little second brother, take it and add some salt!" Jushan had never seen such an unreasonable girl, so he couldn't help but scold.
He turned his head, took out the civet cat from his arms, and whispered, "Little girl, don't be afraid!" Come on, eat meat...... Come on, eat, eat! β
The girl in yellow on the other side couldn't help laughing, but she smiled and didn't make a sound.
"Poof-" Wu Gang couldn't help laughing, and a sip of tea sprayed on the girl's dress.
The woman was furious, stretched out her hand to grab it, the third master suddenly sank her shoulders, she grabbed the air, couldn't hold back, threw herself forward, and rolled down on the table full of wine and food.
Seeing that she was about to fall, Jushan hurriedly hugged her. The girl "snorted", broke free, flew up with a palm, hit the nose of the giant mountain, and hit the nose very hard, and the nosebleed "slipped" all over her face. But Flower Face crawled over and licked the blood off him.
Wu Gang saw that he had injured his brother, and poked her "shoulder well point" with his hand, and half of the girl's body became numb. Wu Gang was about to teach a lesson, but seeing that although she was arrogant, she was also childish, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and his hand couldn't help but pause.
Only this time, the thin old man had already flown over to hold his hand, a gentle and vigorous came, and the four big men also scattered around them, the girl in yellow looked anxious, wanted to speak, but couldn't speak, but seemed to be a mute.
The girl hurriedly said, "Uncle Lianshan, beat them quickly!" β
"This brother, can you raise your noble hand. The old man will compensate you for it! The thin old man was quite high-minded, and he didn't pay attention to her, but he spoke very politely, perhaps because he was afraid that he would hurt the woman.
Wu Gang didn't want to cause these troubles, so he let go of his hand and said, "Brother Jushan is fine, right?" Since the old man apologizes, we also have to respect the old and love the young. β
The giant mountain didn't know the false etiquette of the men and women of Middle-earth, and said stupidly: "What can be the problem, a mosquito bite will hurt me more than this!" I was so afraid that she would fall, and I knew it earlier...... What a wolf's heart!
"It's better for us to have a face, and we know how to lick me after eating meat." He fiddled with the cat again.
The girl knew that he had good intentions, but he embraced him...... After all, there is a difference between men and women, and he whispered: "The dog barks as well as you bark!" Come here again, see if I don't beat you to death, huh-"
Jushan was still about to refute, but he saw the old man hugging his fists and said: "Thank you two for your understanding, this is the daughter of the lord's family, please forgive her for being young and ignorant."
"Just now, this brother was merciful, and the little brother came forward to protect him, and the old man was very affectionate. The two of you have a bad table of wine and food, why don't we have two tables and one table, I let the store have a new table, the old man is the east, how about everyone eat a glass of wine and make friends? β
Wu Gang smiled: "It's so good, I'm just afraid of bothering the inconvenience?" β
The old man grabbed Wu Gang's arm and smiled: "Haha, it's rare not to dislike old decay!" β
Xiao Er'er heard the movement, he had already gone upstairs, stopped at the stairs and didn't dare to come over, seeing that these people were about to fight, and was about to go to the shopkeeper's officer, but in a blink of an eye, he saw that they were going to make a table to drink, and he was stunned for a while: There is such a sassy operation?
The giant mountain stared at the wine and food on the ground, and everyone seemed to have abandoned it. His face was full of reluctance, and he ordered: "Little second brother, wrap me up with the fat goose and braised meat on the ground, and I will eat it when I go back!" β
Everyone laughed, and Xiao Er also smiled: "The guest officer said that he was laughing." The little ones are going to re-serve some good wine and food for a few people! β
"Whoever laughed at you, wrap me up, and the half jug of wine. Wine is the essence of food, the more you drink, the more refreshed, this meal and vegetables are not easy to come by, should you discard it in vain? "The mountain rush.
Wu Gang smiled: "My brother, cherish food, then Xiao Er go and wrap it up for us." β
The old man nodded and said, "It's rare! The woman in yellow also ran over and lay on the ground and blew and beat the fat geese and braised pork.
When the flower face saw her, "meow-" sound, and was not afraid of her, she staggered from the stool to her, and when she saw that she was about to fall, she couldn't help but hug it, and the cat opened her mouth to lick it, she dodged and was overjoyed, and took a piece of meat to the cat, and the cat lay on her chest and ate it.
She wrapped the rest of the paper in a bamboo basket and brought it to the side of the chair of the giant mountain, pointing her finger at the cat, as if to say: It came by itself! How good is that?
Jushan said gratefully: "There is Sister Lao!" Flower face is what we ...... from the boat No, it should have been picked up in the air, since it is destined for you, I will give it to you! β
The woman's face was incredulous, her face was slightly red, she was overjoyed, and she thanked her again and again, but still didn't say a word. She returned to the girl in red, and the two teased the cat, and the fight just now was long gone.
The girl in red said: "You kid is not honest, what nonsense are you talking about, and the cat can't fly, how did you pick it up from the air?" β
Jushan said angrily: "Why am I not honest? The big ship was tossed and undug in the huge waves, and the flower face was thrown in the air, and I grabbed it, why didn't it pick it up in the air? β
Wu Gang said with a smile: "Yes, the respected Faxian Master on our ship can prove that the flower face is indeed flying." β
The girl in red was speechless for a while, and said hurriedly: "Then he is also dishonest!" How dare you touch ......"
Lian Shankui shouted: "Girl, don't be unstoppable!" β
Jushan didn't understand the false etiquette of the men and women of Middle-earth, Wu Gang whispered a few words to him, and he asked as if he didn't understand: "If there is a sea of fire behind you, do you also blame me for holding you?" β
The girl in red blushed and said angrily: "You ββ, these are two different things, and there is no sea of fire behind me!" Who's in charge of you? β
Jushan sneered: "Hmphββ, after you are still a high gate in Middle Earth, I also know in Tianzhu that Mencius once said: If your sister-in-law is not helped, she is a jackal." Men and women do not kiss, and etiquette is also; Sister-in-law, the one who helps her, the right also. I'm human, so I don't want to be a jackal! β
The girl in red was speechless by what he said, she was still about to snatch the white, but she was pulled by the girl in yellow. The woman in yellow looked at the giant mountain, her eyes were gentle like water, and she smiled and nodded: It seems to say, you are right, forgive me this girl.
The giant mountain was swept by this gentle gaze, and the resentment in his heart gradually subsided, and he nodded with a smile unconsciously.
Although this girl in red is rude and rude, she is also innocent and romantic, and Wu Gang asked clearly in a few words.
It turned out that her name was Jiang Nuwa, and she was the daughter of Emperor Yan Jiang Yu, who had always been arrogant and domineering, and had a straightforward temperament - she couldn't turn a corner in case of trouble. The old man was a retainer of Emperor Yan, named Lian Shankui, and he was very good at kung fu. The four men under his command have also practiced iron sand palms for many years, and their skills are good.
The girl in yellow was named Ji Lu (ba), the daughter of Ji Xuanyuan (Yellow Emperor), I don't know what disease she had, she couldn't speak, and everyone treated her very respectfully.
It was precisely because of her that the clouds and rain of Heishui Spring were banned, and the Yellow Emperor killed Chi You. Although she has made great contributions, every time the tragedy of that time appears in front of her eyes, she secretly regrets it in her heart, and she is often awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night.
After the victory of the Yanhuang Alliance, she was even more lost in her heart, it turned out that her father's love was only because she was useful, so was it still love? She couldn't figure it out, so she headed east.
happened to meet her friend Jiang Nuwa to look for her, and saw that she was obsessed and misbehaved, so he took the attendants and others to follow all the way.
The two talked hand in hand all the way.
"Sister, if you have troubles in your heart, you have to be like me, first go to eat and drink, then buy some beautiful clothes, and then gallop on horseback, or go hunting in the mountains and forests...... Then the troubles flew to Java! The girl advised.
The girl sighed: Well, if I am as free and capricious as you, how can I have troubles! Besides, I haven't been to Java, so how can my troubles fly there?
"Haha, then let's go to Java!" The girl suddenly thought of this brilliant idea, and danced excitedly.
Since there is nothing to do left and right, since there are troubles that cannot be escaped anywhere, since there is someone to accompany you, then go ahead.
In this way, the two took a sea boat to the island of Java beyond the end of the world, and the captain wondered on the way: this time the luck was too good, there was no wind or rain all the way, and the sky was clear!
Well, I didn't see who was on the boat. Drought out, clouds and rain, drought out, paraquat!
The girl used to be able to speak, maybe it was her father who used her and ignored her, which made her feel depressed, or maybe it was the screams of tens of thousands of people in Heishui Spring that made her unable to sleep peacefully for many years...... Gradually, she stopped talking, and she couldn't speak.
And this rude Jiang Nuwa, just to accompany her friends to express her feelings, she is not afraid of the wind and waves, and took five subordinates to this remote Java Island.
Jushan couldn't help but look at Jiang Nuwa with admiration, and when he heard that they were going to go to Dongying Fusang to find immortals, he admired it even more.
Wu Gang and Lian Shankui and others talked very happily, and Jushan also relieved Jiang Nuwa with a glass of wine, and everyone dispersed happily.
Wu Gang and Jushan brought four vegetarian dishes, and when they returned to the boat, they saw several crew members dragging away a corpse from Fa Xian, who seemed to have died not long ago.
When everyone left, the two asked the reason, and Fa Xian said slowly: "Giant mountain, this may be the fate, that person fled to the ship under serious injuries, and when he was dying, let me give him a supernatural sin and a blissful death."
"I don't have this magic power, so I had to recite the "Dizang Sutra" to explain it for him, and finally he left with a smile, which is also a small merit."
After Wu Gang left, Fa Xian suddenly pulled the giant mountain in front of him and whispered, "Before that person died, he told me something, or it may help you. The mountain asked, "What's the matter?" β
Fa Xian suddenly showed a long-lost smile: "Little brother, I see that you have a noble character, and you have done everything to help me return to my hometown, and you have taken care of me many times along the way. β
Jushan said: "Old man, why did you talk about this?" β
Fa Xian sighed: "Originally, I had nothing to repay, maybe I could only return to Middle-earth to offer you a tablet in a small temple in the countryside, so that you would suffer less in the next life." But today I met that manβand he was already dead.
"When he was dying, he told me a secret: Dongying Fusang, a feng shui master of the Mo family, discovered a jade mountain."
Jushan exclaimed, "Ahββ, is it true? He's not going to die, he wants you to recite the sutra a few more times and amuse you, right? β
Fa Xian said angrily: "Mind the child, I just said that you have a good character, and you are talking nonsense again!" I see that you are worried about jade all day long, and I am kind enough to tell you the news, you are good...... Don't you hear that when a man is about to die, his words are good? β
Jushan hugged the old monk and smiled: "The old man is angry, I'll tease you!" Tell me where the jade mountain is? β
Seeing that there was no one around, Fa Xian said in a low voice: "It is to the west of the Kizen Mountains on the island of Fuso, there is a mountain called Mt. Kuryu, a lake is called Lake Biwa, there is a Xuan on the shore of the lake is Ukigodo, and there is a river named Hino River. β
Jushan asked, "What about below?" β
Fa Xian said: "There is no more below." β
"Presumably in the palace?" Jushan smiled, "This mountain, a lake, a temple, a river!" It's like a painting. β
Fa Xian said: "You are right, after he finished speaking, let me open his back shirt, and on the whole back, or with a knife or needle pattern carved a beautiful picture, just as he said." β
Jushan asked, "What about the picture?" β
Fa Xian said: "You also saw that the man was thrown into the sea by the crew. I can't do that peelβ"
Jushan said: "Okay. There are mountains, rivers, Xuan and rivers, it is indeed not easy, thank you old man, since there is such a fate, I will not go to Middle Earth, just go to Fusang to see. You...... You have to take care of yourself. β
Jushan bowed to the ground, and after getting up, he didn't dare to look at him, but turned his head, choked up and said, "Well, old monk, you have to take care!" I'm going to say goodbye to Brother Wu. β
Fa Xian took out a copy of his hand-copied "Heart Sutra" and gave it to Jushan, and when he turned around, he was already in tears.
