Chapter 396: The Magical Cloth Bag (3)

It is said that martial artists are ruthless and kill without blinking. Although the town general is a martial artist, he also has an unusually gentle emotion - he loves his daughter very much.

It turned out that he had a wife and three concubines, perhaps because his yang energy was too strong, whether it was the main house or the little wife, the dolls he gave birth to were all male babies. As a result, he was often depressed and depressed, hoping that his wife would have a daughter for him.

Heaven is as people wish, his favorite fourth lady has a very competitive belly, and she really gave birth to a baby daughter to him a few years ago.

This little girl is even more beautiful than in the painting, especially her big watery eyes, flickering and flickering, as if she can speak.

The town general was overjoyed, naturally he loved the little daughter, under his obedience, pampering, and connivance, the little daughter gradually became stubborn and willful, quite unreasonable, she wanted to do what, she had to do what, a little dissatisfied, she cried and made a fuss, so that the temperament was scattered, looking for death and life.

The town general not only does not discipline her strictly, but always tries to meet her unreasonable demands, so this little girl is becoming more and more unreasonable.

Up to now, even the town general has a headache, but he is helpless.

The reason why his temper is getting more and more violent, often irritable, and inexplicably angry has a lot to do with his helplessness towards his daughter.

"Mei Shi welcomes the rain, and the vast is in late spring."

In the rainy season in Jiangnan, the rain is sometimes heavy and sometimes small, and it is always dripping and dripping. That afternoon, a heavy rain fell from the sky, and a lot of rainwater accumulated in the yard, forming a small pool.

The rainwater under the eaves hit the water, splashing small crystal clear and colorful bubbles.

Some of them are big, some are small, they are born and disappear in the pool, drifting everywhere, and they are very beautiful.

After the town general's baby daughter saw it, she loved it very much.

She had a whimsical idea and said to her father, "If you wear these blisters into a necklace, it will be very beautiful." Daddy, you can wear a string for me. ”

The town general said: "These blisters can't be picked up, they will burst when touched, how can they be worn into necklaces?" Good baby, there are all kinds of crystal necklaces in the jewelry store, shall I buy you a string? ”

"Not good, not good, not good!" The little girl seemed to have been greatly wronged, and her tears fell down like beads with broken threads.

She cried heartbrokenly and said, "I knew that I was not your biological daughter, so you always fooled me." I just like necklaces made of blisters, and if I can't get it, I'll die! If it gets dark and you still haven't dressed me, I'll go jump into the county river! ”

When the town general loved his daughter, he immediately panicked when he heard that his daughter was going to commit suicide, and quickly sent soldiers to find all the skilled craftsmen in the city, and said to them: "You are all ingenious craftsmen, with wonderful minds and exquisite craftsmanship, and there is never a job that cannot be done, let alone something that is difficult for you." I have invited all of you here today so that you can wear a necklace with this blister, and my daughter will wear it in a moment. ”

Craftsmen say it's whimsical and something that can't be done at all.

The town general thought that his stubborn daughter might really commit suicide by jumping into the river, and he couldn't help but be furious and threatened the craftsmen, saying: "General Ben only has such a precious daughter, if she is not happy, none of you want to have a good life!" If my daughter has three longs and two shorts, I will cut off all your heads!" ”

In that turbulent era, the generals who held military power were often more ferocious than the king, so his words were more effective than the holy decree.

However, knowing that they are facing the threat of death, the craftsmen cannot think of anything but to be slaughtered and wait for the verdict of fate......

The sky gradually darkened a little, and when it got dark, if you couldn't wear the blister necklace again, the craftsmen would have to fall to the ground......

At this time, the cloth bag monk took the initiative to come to the door, saying that he could wear a blister necklace. At this time, when the town general saw the cloth bag monk, his heart was no longer angry, but like a drowning man saw a life-saving straw - God knows what ghost tricks this mysterious monk has, maybe he can really wear a blister necklace! He hurriedly asked, "Cloth bag monk, do you really blister through the necklace?" Aren't you teasing Ben, Ben, Ben again...... The last general, right? ”

The Budai monk smiled and said, "When did the mountain monk say empty words? However, my craft is a big secret, and you can't let these craftsmen learn it secretly, so you have to kick them out of the house first. ”

The town general didn't know what to do with these craftsmen, and he suddenly encountered a stepping stone, so he quickly let the craftsmen out, and when there was no one else in the courtyard, the town general said: "Master Cloth Bag, you can wear it quickly." ”

Budai said: "Since the necklace is wanted by the young lady, it should be maximized to achieve her satisfaction." ”

The town general nodded and said, "Yes, yes." My daughter is the most difficult to get rid of, and if it doesn't go well, it's endless, looking for death and life. ”

The cloth bag monk said: "Then you can find her, and let her personally supervise my production, so that it can be completely in line with her wishes." ”

The town general called his daughter out. The cloth bag monk said to her, "Little girl, I know at a glance that you are the smartest and the most capable. Tell me why you want a blister necklace? ”

The little girl said, "Because they are beautiful and beautiful." ”

"Really?" The Budai monk looked dumbfounded, squinted his eyes, looked at the blisters on the water and said, "Oh, my old eyes are dizzy, why can't I tell which of these blisters are beautiful and which are ugly?" ”

The little girl giggled at his funny appearance and pointed at him to look at the big, bright blisters, but the cloth bag monk said, "Oh, why am I so stupid?" It's hard to tell the difference. Is that good? Little girl, go and fetch the most beautiful and satisfying dressing gowns, and I will put on you the best necklace. ”

The little girl had already been praised by the cloth bag monk, and sure enough, she went into the water to pick the biggest and most beautiful blisters. However, the blisters burst to the tentacles and disappeared without a trace. The stubborn little girl refused to admit that she was defeated and incompetent, so she kept trying to find ways to pick out the easily broken blisters......

She bent over for a long time, lowered her head, stared at her eyes, and was so tired that she couldn't catch a single blister.

Gradually, she grew tired of these blisters that were dying so quickly, and she lost interest, and besides, it was getting dark.

She said to her father, "These blisters are the most annoying, and I can't keep them in my hand for a moment." I'm not uncommon for this kind of false and untrue thing! ”

At this time, the Budai monk said, "Yes, yes, the little girl said it too well. These blisters are meant to deceive people's eyes, they look tangible and qualitative, but they disappear as soon as they are generated. Like the patterns composed of smoke and clouds in the sky, they are all intangible illusions, and they change very quickly. If we also pursue such illusory things, we will only get disappointment and sorrow in the end. ”

The little girl was very smart, and immediately understood the true intentions of the Budai monk, and stopped being willful. However, she was a child's heart after all, and her eyes flashed with dreamy colors, and she murmured, "Although it is unreal, those blisters are really beautiful." ”

The Budai monk nodded and said, "Actually, those bubbles themselves are all water, and their brilliance is just the reflected light of the sky. If you really want a necklace made of water droplets, I'll make you one. ”

The town general hurriedly said: "Master Budai, the child is no longer messing around, so don't tease her anymore." ”

The cloth bag monk smiled and said: "The dream is not broken, and the truth is not revealed." Besides, I'm a monk, and I said that I would make her a blister necklace, so how can I lie? The more children you are, the more you can't fool around! ”

As he spoke, the cloth bag monk took out a cloth bag - oh my God, why is it still exactly the same cloth bag as the original one? The town general couldn't believe his eyes.

The cloth bag monk took out an awl, a steel needle, and a long line from the cloth bag.

The little girl became active and said, "Grandpa monk, the weather is dark and you can't see it, how can you pick up the blisters?" ”

The cloth bag monk pointed to the air and said, "Look, aren't those blisters coming down?" ”

Sure enough, something white fell in the air—hail particles the size of pearls. The cloth bag monk picked up some slippery round hailstones, pierced his eyes with an awl, and put them on the line, and sure enough, he wore them into a string of necklaces.

He said: "The essence of blisters is water, and the nature of hail is also water, so there is no essential difference between a hail necklace and a blister necklace. Little girl. To you. ”

The hail necklace is shining brightly under the light of candles, reflecting a strange and psychedelic light, how beautiful it is, how beautiful it is. The little girl happily took it. However, when she put this beautiful necklace around her neck, she could not laugh at any means - this hail necklace was not only cold and piercing, but also melted so quickly that it made her body wet, how uncomfortable it was!

The little girl hurriedly took off the necklace and said, "Dare to love, this thing can only be seen, not really worn." ”

The cloth bag monk nodded and said, "It's not a necklace thing in the first place!" Just like me, a monk, if I have to go to the battlefield to fight instead of a general like your father, it will be nonsense. Not only will they lose the battle and lose their lives, but they may also injure innocents and their families. The so-called settling down on the standard and making the best use of things is this principle. ”

After speaking, the cloth bag monk glanced at the town general.

The town will be terrified! Because he heard the voice of the Budai monk: the duty of the general is to stabilize the country and defend against foreign enemies, not to govern the people on behalf of local officials.

Pointing to the hail necklace that was about to melt, the monk said, "You see, it will eventually turn into water, and it will only be most useful if it returns to water." ”

After speaking, the Budai monk said goodbye to the father and daughter of the town general, and walked into the vast night, and in the distance, his chanting can still be heard:

You laugh at me, I laugh at you.

Impermanence comes, and everyone is empty-handed.
