Chapter 39 I can only grieve the Bodhisattva
It seems that the Bodhisattva did not dislike Zhao Yuerong's greed, and he didn't even hear her prayers.
The old man, who claimed to be the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva, rested his fiery sword on the farmer's shoulder, and was so focused that he did not glance at her the whole time.
If you don't see it, you don't hear it.
After a few seconds, the old man swooped back the sword, and the flame on the tip of the sword was extinguished, and then he grabbed the void with his other hand, and then made a gesture of throwing it into the copper basin.
Everyone present had sharp eyes, and saw something almost transparent flash, and then something magical happened.
The water in the copper basin gradually condensed into ice, you must know that it is autumn at this time, or early autumn, and the temperature is still hovering at twenty or thirty degrees, how can it freeze.
Someone who had the courage to run forward to check, and did not give up and put his hand in the copper basin and touched it, and then immediately retracted it like an electric shock, exclaiming: "It's ice, it's really ice!" ”
Everyone present was in an uproar.
Zhao Yuerong became excited again, and her little face would turn red as soon as she was excited, "Husband, it's ice, it's ice!" ”
"See, see..."
Xia Yuan responded again and again, looked at the shouts of the people around him, and looked into the copper basin again.
Can make the water freeze, think about it with your ass, you know that it is the effect of saltpeter.
It's just that he thinks that the trick of saltpeter freezing will be debunked by the villagers.
You must know that Daming's firearms are not to say that they are leading the world, at least they have always been at the forefront of the world, and firearms need gunpowder, which has saltpeter in it, and saltpeter can make water freeze.
Although the people of the Ming Dynasty may not know the principle, they must have known this phenomenon.
Even in his previous life, he had read such a record, saying that in the hot summer, some soldiers would pick out the saltpeter in the medicine, put it in the water to condense into ice, and then use it to ward off the heat.
But seeing these people shouting and screaming, as if they had never seen the world, it was obvious that they did not know.
The old man was obviously very impressed by the exclamation of these villagers, stroked his beard, and said slowly: "This seat has killed the evil spirit, and its broken spirit is thrown into this copper basin, and this ice is invaded and condensed by the evil yin qi. ”
Then he said to the farmer, "Now take a look and see if you feel much more comfortable." ”
Hearing this, the farmer tried to move his neck, then turned his arms, and soon his face became excited, "Really! It's really much more comfortable, and I don't feel heavy at all. ”
"Thank you Grandpa Bodhisattva for saving your life, thank you Grandpa Bodhisattva for saving your life!"
As he spoke, he knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to the old man.
"Fellow don't have to be like this, this seat is designed to help the world and save people, and it is not... Ahem, ahem.." The old man stepped forward to help the farmer up, and halfway through his words, he coughed again and again.
"Grandpa Bodhisattva, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's okay... Ahem, ahem.."
The old man waved his hand again and again, and continued to cough as he spoke.
Seeing this, a disciple next to him suddenly came over and said to the old man with great emotion: "Master, why do you say it's okay, you were reincarnated, you didn't bring much mana, you killed the evil just now, and a few days ago you helped to treat the sick and save people, and the loss caused by these is not something that ordinary medicine can make up."
The ginseng that is on the vintage, yellow essence, which is not the most expensive, not to mention that you help your neighbors and do not receive a penny. ”
Speaking of this, the disciple actually wiped away his tears and said with a sad face: "You see that you are coughing like this again, if you don't hurry up and buy some ginseng, yellow essence supplement, the disciple is really afraid, really afraid..."
"What are you afraid of, do you want me to ask these villagers for money, and then use it to buy some ginseng, Huang Jing?"
"I'll go." Seeing this, Xia Yuan couldn't help but whisper, good guy, it turns out that he is waiting here.
The old man scolded his apprentice with an 'angry' face: "How many times have I told you, this sect only seeks compassion and helps the world to save people, is it possible that I destroy evil spirits and cure diseases and save people in order to earn money?" ”
"But Master, your loss is so serious, how can the disciples buy medicine for you without money!"
"If you don't have money, you won't buy it."
"But—" The disciple was about to say more, but the old man's eyes widened, "Don't say more!" Do you want to trap me in injustice? ”
Sure enough, the old man and his apprentice's ungrateful performance moved the farmer who had just been saved, and took out a few grains of broken silver from his arms, "Grandpa Bodhisattva, I am a farmer, and I don't have any money at home, so you can take these silvers." ”
"Take it back, don't take this seat!"
"Master, don't do it, I'll take it with the help of a disciple." The disciple stepped forward and took the silver directly, and then put it in his arms.
"Rebel!" The old man gritted his teeth and said, "Go back!" Otherwise, it will be dealt with according to the canon. ”
"If you don't retreat, if the master wants to dispose of it, you will dispose of it, this silver apprentice must be collected after all, otherwise what will you use to buy medicine for the master."
"Yes, Grandpa Bodhisattva, you can accept it."
"Yes, Master, you can just take it, and don't punish Senior Brother, he is also for you."
At this time, the farmer who gave the silver and several apprentices around him persuaded one after another.
The old man looked at this scene, his lips squirmed for a long time, and finally he sighed, "Hey, you are trying to trap me in injustice." ”
At this point, this play can be regarded as the finale, if it is according to the normal development, then these onlookers will come forward one after another, generously donate, and take the initiative to take out the silver for the reincarnation of this Bodhisattva to buy medicine.
But the reality will always backfire, and the villagers of Xiajiazhuang just watched silently, and no one stepped forward to pay for it.
After a while, one of the people in the crowd said loudly: "Folks, listen, in order to purify sentient beings and save us little people, the Bodhisattva's body has been worn out, and he needs to use ginseng and yellow essence to make up for it.
But the Bodhisattva doesn't take a penny from us, this is the real Bodhisattva, my Wang Thirteen is a farmer, I haven't read any books, but I know the truth of offering to the Bodhisattva.
Bodhisattvas don't want it, but we can't give it, don't you say? ”
“.........”
After a moment of silence, a woman in the crowd said, "Look at my memory, just now I was just watching the excitement, and I forgot that the stove at home is not extinguished, and there is still cooking on it, I have to go back and have a look, otherwise it will be mushy in a while." ”
After that, she struggled to squeeze out of the crowd, and turned back to beckon: "Master, don't look at the excitement, let's hurry home, we have to work in the field after eating in a while." ”
"Eh, yes."
At that moment, a man squeezed out of the crowd and followed the woman to his home.
"Oh, yes, I forgot, my stove hasn't been extinguished, the owner, let's go, let's go home quickly."
"My house hasn't been extinguished."
"The firewood at home hasn't been chopped yet, so I have to go back quickly."
“.....”
After only a moment's effort, the villagers who were still surrounding and watching the excitement just now walked around for various reasons.
To be honest, they really wanted to donate some silver to the Bodhisattva and let the Bodhisattva use it to buy ginseng and yellow essence to replenish his body, but after thinking about it, their own money was not enough.
Hey, I can only grieve the Bodhisattva.
