Chapter 13: The Twilight Hua Family
Summer Night and Dawn stood in front of a charred ruin.
Xia Ye casually stopped the passers-by, "Dare to ask the Hua family how to go?" ”
The passerby waved his hand to break free of the summer night and pointed to the ruins, "Isn't this it! Then he spat at the ruins and walked away.
The two were even more confused.
"As the head of the five major doctors, this Hua family has a long reputation. What's going on? Obscure touched his head and wondered. Then he turned to Xia Ye and said, "It seems that I can only go elsewhere to find a doctor." Fortunately, the Su family among the five major doctors is in Lingling City, which is hundreds of miles away. ”
At this time, an old man outside a tea shop said, "You want to cure the disease? Why don't you go to the Hall of Divine Blessing? ”
Summer Night turned around and asked, "Divine Blessing Hall?" Only then did he notice that every house had a pennant with the word "God" written on it at the door of the pavilion shop.
After the old man took a puff, he spit out white smoke and pointed with a cigarette stick, "Chengbei." Easy to find. ”
The two walked around the streets for a long time and asked many people. And the people of this city seem to know this shrine of God. After walking around the city for a long time, I finally found the Divine Blessing Hall.
This shrine is unremarkable, not unlike an ordinary pharmacy on the street. But the guests come and go, and the door is like a city.
The two waited in line outside the store for two hours before they could enter.
But after the old doctor checked the pulse, he said angrily: "Nonsense! Where did the idler come from, bring a dead man to find fun? ”
Summer Night tilted his head and looked, it turned out that the old doctor was blind.
The apprentice said, "Master...... The guests are still alive......"
The old doctor turned his head sideways, "Alive?" Then he frowned and looked at him again for a moment.
"There's no way to save you here. Try it at the Altar of Divine Blessing outside the city. The old doctor waved his hand.
On a summer night, he was sent out of the store in a daze.
"What should I do?" Obscure said embarrassedly.
"Let's take a look." The summer night is indifferent.
The two came to the outside of the city again, and after many inquiries, they finally found this altar of divine blessing on Meizhu Mountain, ten miles outside the city.
This altar is like a temple, simple and elegant, solemn and solemn.
At this time, the incense was in full bloom, so it was not lively.
Summer Night said angrily: "What quack! Does this mean that my medicine stone is useless and I am asking for more blessings? When I was most seriously injured, Dr. Hua didn't say let me ask God for help! ”
Hao Ming laughed: "Hahaha." Now I'm afraid that if I meet Doctor Hua again, his old man will be angry and don't want to pay attention to you. ”
The summer night can be seen openly, scratching his head, "If you come, you will be safe." It doesn't hurt to see. ”
If it's an ordinary pharmacy or temple, it's fine. It's just that this little pharmacy is well known, and its little flag is hung in front of the door, and it is led here from the pharmacy. It was really a little weird, and it made him curious.
The two entered the temple and entered the hall, but they were at a loss again.
The ornamentation, arrangement, temple, and Taoist robes of this temple are very unfamiliar, and they are not Buddhism or Taoism. And the idol is also very weird.
"Little monk. Do you recognize which god this is? Summer Night asked.
This idol is clasped with its feet and palms closed, and its head is closed, as if it is worshipping the gods and Buddhas sincerely.
Obscure Ming was also puzzled, "I've never seen it either." ”
An old man with a long beard in plain clothes walked beside him, "This is the Nine Heavens Guiding Great Immortals." Then he bowed to the two of them with his palms together, "omitted below." ”
The two returned the salute.
Xia Ye asked, "I have heard of Ciguang receiving Tianzun. But these nine days to lead the great immortals, the younger generation has never heard of it. ”
Hao Ming asked: "If you have the ability to lead, is it Amitabha?" ”
Wen Luo replied: "This immortal is not in the Buddha's way, it is a wandering immortal who has attained the Tao by self-cultivation." It was only recently that miracles appeared, and there was a place of worship here. ”
Summer Night asked curiously, "I don't know what kind of miracle it is?" ”
Wen Luo replied: "The great plague in the city in the near moon. Tori Nine Heavens led the Great Immortal to descend the immortal prescription, and the people in the city were able to survive this catastrophe. If you are interested, you can visit the Temple tomorrow. At that time, there will be a leader sitting on the altar to preach the Dharma and channeling. ”
Xia Ye said: "Psychic? Interesting. Then tomorrow, I will ask Mr. Wen to find a good position. ”
Wen Luo smiled and bowed.
Without waiting for Hao Ming to say anything more, Xia Ye returned the salute and pulled him out, "Back, back." Starved to death. ”
On the way back to the city.
Obscure asked, "You and I are penniless." What is good about entering the city? ”
Xia Ye said: "This temple is strange. ”
Obscure and puzzled, "Although this great immortal is not a Buddha or a Taoist. But the temple is solemn and upright, and the believers are all asking for some peace and smoothness, so there is no difference? ”
Xia Ye said: "Even if you and I were led all the way here, it was a coincidence. But the temple was so busy, and the people in the temple were obviously understaffed. Why is it that you and I, dressed like beggars, just wander around the temple, but one of us comes to help you and me solve your doubts? ”
"Or I saw that you were a summer night, but I didn't say it explicitly." Maybe people just have good intentions? ”
Xia Ye said: "I don't like to be involuntarily. Let's go to the city and investigate first. ”
Obscure said urgently, "But your injury ......"
Before he finished speaking, Xia Ye put his hand on Hao Ming's shoulder and said with a smile: "The Buddhist scriptures say that human life is only between breaths. It's okay to live more and live less. But if you miss it, the fun is really gone. ”
Hao Ming smiled, "If you interpret the Buddhist scriptures like this, the abbot is afraid that he will beat you again." ”
The summer night is full of indifference, "The Buddhist scriptures are full of riddles." How can the abbot prove that he is right? ”
The two of them walked all the way back to Duskfall.
……
The sun is sinking, the stars are falling and the clouds are falling, and the unitary is positive.
Twilight City. Gao Peng Restaurant.
The hall was full of seats, and it was crowded.
A storyteller in the hall drank tea, patted the case, and the paper fan shook lightly, telling the story.
"Speaking of this Hua family, it has an extraordinary origin. It is said that more than 100 years ago, the world fell apart, and disasters continued, which was a blood-stained river, and it was turbid all year round. ”
"Fortunately, there are five doctors who travel all over the world, and I don't know how many soldiers and people have been saved from the ghost gate with their immortal medical skills. When the chaos subsided and the world was unified, these five doctors started a sect based on benevolence. This is the origin of today's five major doctors. ”
"And this Hua family in the twilight city can also be said to live up to the benevolence of the doctor. For more than 100 years, in order to save the world, he has seized the aura of heaven and earth, collected the essence of the sun and the moon, committed danger, collected heaven and earth treasures, and researched the elixir. Therefore, in this vast river and lake, except for the Immortal Cultivation Sect, there is only one such elixir. Over the past hundred years, it has benefited the people of a city, and the blessings are quite profound. The heads of the family in the past generations are also not inferior to their ancestors. Natural disasters are relieved and grain, and disaster relief and plague treatment are not a problem. Heroic deeds, bright stars in the sky. It's a long story, but I can't press it today. ”
"But when it comes to this, Hua Jiangli, the head of the family, is really sad and lamentable, hateful and hateful. A hundred years of benevolence, passed down from generation to generation, has been passed down to this person! ”
When someone in the hall heard this, they immediately applauded.
"Half a year ago, the summer solstice was approaching, and a plague broke out in the city. The severity of the epidemic is unheard of, with 100 people infected in just 10 days. The infected people are unconscious, their limbs are stiff, and they are terrifyingly possessed. The government was afraid of the spread of the epidemic and immediately closed the city. However, for the people in the city, this is nothing more than a way to live, and they can only sit back and wait for the disaster to come. ”
"However, at this time, not only did the Hua family not open a position to help the victims, but the price of the medicine was clearly marked this time, where is the benevolence of such an act?"
Some people in the crowd complained about this, but those who spoke badly were even more so, so they did not dare to speak again.
"As the head of the world's doctors, your Hua family should be the first in the world, and it should be your duty to test the medicine yourself. At that time, none of the 316 people in the house were infected with the disease. Isn't it strange? ”
Hearing this, some people got up and left. The rest of the crowd scolded even more.
"Then the plague changed, and the medicine for the plague became useless. It took three months to return to the Chinese family and no new drug was developed. All kinds of signs, the truth is about to come out, should your Hua family really treat you and me as uncivilized children? ”
"Fortunately, the small shop in the north of the city received a prescription and widely distributed medicine and food, and the people in the city were saved. The shopkeeper said that it was the manifestation of the heavenly immortals that only got this way. When the official family lifted the city seal, the Divine Blessing Hall collected hundreds of donations to build the Divine Blessing Altar on Meizhu Mountain outside the city. The people went to worship one after another, and the incense burned endlessly every day. ”
Soon after, all kinds of despicable things of the Hua family were made public. It turned out that the Hua family first secretly cultivated the epidemic, and then developed a cure for the plague, and then spread the plague, clearly marked the price, and made a lot of money. The previous visions were solved. ”
And the Hua family's ruthlessness, mediocrity and incompetence eventually aroused the anger of the heavens and people. The people of the city surrounded the Hua family for three days and three nights to ask for an explanation. The size of the house is not visible. Three days later, the thunderstorm was raging, a thunder was splitting the court, and suddenly the sky was burning the court, the clouds and rain could not be extinguished, and the fire burned for five days before dispersing. The Hua family has become coke, and none of the three hundred and sixteen people survived. Miserable and sad. ”
"This is exactly what it is not easy to be benevolent for a hundred years, and once you turn your head empty. Natural disasters are not as good as people's hearts, and there is always a time for the reincarnation of the righteous path! ”
The old man was shocked, and the visitors in the hall applauded again and again, shouting happily.
The next person in the hall asked loudly, "I don't know if there is any evidence for this Chinese family to raise the epidemic and accumulate wealth?" ”
Everyone saw that it was a summer night. And Hao Ming also looked at the storyteller on the side, waiting for an answer.
The storyteller hurriedly said: "Everyone in the city knows about this, how can it be fake? And the Hua family does not open a warehouse for disaster relief, and the price of medicinal materials is also a fact! ”
Xia Ye sneered, "It turns out that it's all hearsay. ”
The people were furious and attacked with evil words.
The two turned and left. But before he went out, he closed the door of the hall on a summer night and shut him out.
Obscure and helpless, knowing that the summer night is going to be willful again. Obviously only recuperated enough to be able to walk.
The crowd was puzzled and asked, "Who are you?" What to do? ”
Xia Ye looked back and smiled: "Me? Fights. ”
Outside the door, he could hear the screams and wails in the building, and the crackling and smashing sound was endless.
He listened to what happened to Fang Cai, and he was also angry after seeing everyone's reactions. Therefore guard the door for the summer night, in case anyone escapes.
Passers-by heard the movement in the building and looked back and stopped, and began to talk about it in twos and threes.
After a few moments, there was no movement, and Obscure opened the door. Everyone in the hall had fainted and fell to the ground.
After turning out the summer night in the crowd, Obscure confirmed that he still had a snort and picked it up and walked out of the restaurant.
Obscure Ming carried a few streets, turned some steamed buns along the road, and found a remote alley. I was about to wake up the summer night to eat, but suddenly I felt that it was dark in front of me and fainted.
