Standing on the long street, she was stunned, the white paper money on the long street rolled on the ground with the wind, a few lanterns hung sporadically on both sides, the starlight in the early morning was dim, and the candlelight was faint.

A monk was sitting in a street clearing with his back to her, chanting scriptures......

Far away, Qiu Li couldn't hear his voice clearly, and the sound of chanting faintly came with the wind, and her heart suddenly felt extremely sad.

She squatted on the street, sorrow came from it, and tears "snapped" and dripped down.

After crying this time, Qiu Li only felt that the depression in her heart had been dissipated, she wiped her red and swollen eyes, and was about to get up.

A pair of mangled shoes appeared in front of him, and a gentle voice sounded: "There are still living people in this town." ”

Qiu Li was startled, and when she looked up, the monk who was chanting the scriptures was looking down at her, his face was thin, his face was neither sad nor joyful, holding a string of prayer beads in his left hand, gray monk's robe, and wearing a yellow robe.

"National ...... National teacher? ”

Akiri had a glimpse from afar when she was frozen by the bride.

"Since you know me, why don't you go with me to the next town, where the living can't stay long." The national teacher's eyes were deep, but his voice had some strange rhythms, which made Qiuli's nervous mood relax a little.

"I'm tired of the national teacher." Akiri stood up and bowed her hands.

"Let's go." Seeing that she agreed, the national teacher turned to the other end of the long street.

Qiu Li rubbed her little hands and quickly followed, is this considered hugging her thighs? If this is in the position of the main star and the national teacher, then it is not appropriate to be above the ministerial level!

At the end of the long street, there was a stone bridge, and Akiri followed him to the bridge, and when he crossed the bridge, a horse-drawn carriage stopped on the bluestone road, and a coachman wearing a hat was standing respectfully beside the car.

The first rays of light fell from the sky in the early morning, and Akiri turned to look across the riverbank, the lifeless town.

"Little donor, get in the car."

Qiu Li turned around, the national teacher was solemn, the light seemed to add a filter to him, Qiu Li hurriedly removed her eyes, "Here, my name is Qiu Li." ”

She trotted a few steps, lifted her foot and entered the carriage, and a moment later, the national teacher also sat in.

The wheels of the carriage squeaked and slowly moved forward.

Qiu Li looked at the carriage, the space inside was far wider than she expected, she was thin and small, and it didn't take much space to sit on one side.

The interior of the whole carriage is bright yellow, which is a royal treatment, in the carriage, there is a coffee table, on which is placed a set of tea sets, there is a stove on the ground, on which is warming a pot of tea.

On the seat opposite, there was a handful of sutra books, a bookcase at his feet, and a rattan lid half-rested on it, and Akiri saw that there were several books inside.

The national teacher took out an incense stick from the box, borrowed a fire from the stove, and inserted it into a gourd-shaped hole in the coffee table.

This is the fragrance of sandalwood, Qiu Li has thousands of questions in her heart, but she doesn't dare to ask, the national teacher in front of her, she is subconsciously a little jealous.

Then he opened two thin porcelain teacups, poured the warm tea on the stove, pushed out a cup, and handed it to Akiri.

"Qiuli, don't you ask me where I'm taking you?" His voice flowed slowly, like a wisp of sandalwood scattered around every corner of the carriage.

"Didn't you say the next town?" Akiri recalled what he had said earlier.

"I'll take you to see the demon sacrifice to the sky, just to comfort the villagers of your town and let their souls sleep peacefully." After saying this, he closed his eyes and recuperated and said no more.

Qiu Li was stunned, he thought he was from this town?

She took a sip of the tea on the coffee table, and her mouth was sweet.

The fragrance lingered, her thoughts wandered, and Qiu Li, who was tired for a day, fell asleep in the slight bump of the carriage.

The moving carriage stopped suddenly, Qiu Li opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the long-lost sunshine, which was shining into the carriage through the door curtain, and then the voice of the national teacher sounded in her ears.

"Red Oni, don't challenge my bottom line again and again."

As soon as the words fell, Qiu Li only felt that the carriage was empty, and the national teacher was already standing on the official road.

Through the gap between the groom's back and the small window, Akiri saw the bride of Xikou Village floating in front of the carriage, holding a bronze mirror in her hand.

Her appearance is much haggard than before, but her clothes are not messy at all, and this wedding dress is most likely a magic weapon.

"If you let my wretched husband go, I will go away at once."

The Red Ghost's voice was as clear as ice dripping down, and the temperature around him dropped immediately, and the horses neighed.

"Hum" The national teacher said a note in his mouth, his left hand clenched into a fist, and a ray of sunlight attracted him, and Qiu Li suddenly felt warm all around.

The national teacher took a few steps forward, and the red ghost in the air stepped back.

"The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, you are a ghost, talk to me about friendship?"

The national teacher's face was uneasy, "I will kill them and sacrifice to the sky, if you stop me, then I will be killed." ”

"You are a monk, the left sentence is dead, the right sentence is death, compassion is in your heart?"

"It is precisely because of compassion that we want to sacrifice demons to the sky." The national teacher's tone was unfazed, and he raised his eyes to look at the red ghost floating in the air, and the Buddha pearl in his hand was circulating.

A trace of fear welled up in the red ghost's eyes, and she took a step back again, "Okay, I'll go to Longkou Town to see how you sacrifice to the sky!" As soon as the red ghost's voice fell, his figure fled into the distance, and disappeared in an instant.

The national teacher snorted coldly, and Xu Yu had already returned to the carriage, "Let's go." ”

The driver tugged on the reins, rolled the wheels, and continued along the official road.

Seeing Qiu Li looking at him with bright eyes like black grapes, the corners of his mouth lifted lightly, and he said softly: "Don't worry, it's just a ghost." ”

"I've seen your life and soul, nine deaths and one life, but I didn't expect that you really found a glimmer of life, and you can be regarded as a creative person, why don't you practice Buddhism with me?"

Qiu Li was stunned, not knowing how to reply to him for a while.

"Your kinship is shallow, and practicing the Dharma will enable you to find Prajna and attain Bodhi early." The voice of the national teacher sounded again.

Seeing Qiuli silent, he sighed and took out a string of sandalwood beads from his arms, "These are the 108 prayer beads I used when I was a child, if you have the heart to practice Buddhism in the future, take it to Jingshi to find me." ”

Qiu Li stretched out her hand to take it, she had seen the dead people in the town, and she also knew that the monk in front of her was one of the initiators, but in this world, you can't treat it with good and evil, right and wrong.

Just like now he is doing everything good to himself, he also thinks that she is a survivor of Xidu Town, and he feels guilty.

"Thank you, National Teacher."

This thank you is sincere.

This string of prayer beads, warm and moist to the hand, is quite extraordinary, and at the same time a few lines of text appear next to the rosary.

[The rosary of the national teacher

Prayer beads are full of Buddhist scriptures, can avoid demons, wear them all year round, do not get sick, if you practice Buddhism, you can get twice the result with half the effort......]
