Chapter Forty-Eight: Choosing the Way

"Your remnants are parasitic on the Lotus Terrace to survive, and if you get out of the Lotus Terrace, do you know the consequences?" asked the Frost Ascension Ancestor Buddha.

"All the consequences, the disciple is willing to bear it. ”

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think. Look at itβ€”"

The Frost Ascension Ancestor Buddha stretched out his hand, and the Demon Petal Buddha Lotus jumped into his palm, and there was a circle of golden lotus petals suspended around the black lotus petals.

This is the first time Hua Xin has seen him and Chiba's true body! Presumably, the outer golden one is his remnant.

Could it be that he is a golden lotus?

At this time, the Frost Ascension Ancestor Buddha opened his mouth and explained the origin of Hua Xin: "When I first saw you, you were just a mortal thousand leaves heavy lotus, and now you are full of Buddha qi, do you know where this Buddha qi comes from?"

There is no need for the Frost Ascension Ancestor Buddha to continue, Hua Xin has already guessed eight or nine points.

He is parasitic on Chiba, and the Buddha qi of his remnants must come from the Buddha of Chiba.

Seeing that Hua Xin was clear, the Frost Ascension Ancestor Buddha continued: "You are parasitic on the Lotus Terrace, you can share the Lotus Tai Shouyuan, which is harmless in the Lotus Terrace, but you have no intention of taking away the Buddha Qi of the Lotus Terrace and turning parasitism into symbiosis. ”

The words of the Frost Ascension Ancestral Buddha are more important to Hua Xin than a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Hua Xin never thought that one day, he would really become a drag on Chiba!

The matter of parasitism is only known to Hua Xin and the Frost Ascension Ancestor Buddha.

How to be saved by the ancestral Buddha, how to parasitize on the Buddha lotus, Hua Xin has no impression, he only remembers that at the beginning of his incarnation, when he woke up, the first person he saw was the frost ascending ancestral Buddha.

The Frost Ascension Ancestor Buddha said that his fate was saved by Chiba and asked him if he would like to go to Chiba to take care of her as a retribution.

And he went.

"The disciple doesn't want to drag down the mother, and asks the ancestor Buddha to show the disciple, how can the disciple's body be stripped of the body and returned to the mother?"

"The road ahead is dangerous, and you have artificially created it, and you may not be able to solve it. ”

Hua Xin bowed down under the seat of the ancestral Buddha and said earnestly: "It is not a pity for the disciple to die, if there is a way to try, ask the ancestral Buddha for guidance." ”

"If you insist on this, you can go-" The words of the Frost Ascension Ancestor Buddha came to an abrupt end, and he paused for a full two breaths before he spoke, "Go to the east, if there is a fate, between the two of you, it may be solved." ”

Hua Xin bowed again, wanting to leave, but caught a glimpse of the orb on his wrist still there, and begged again: "Dare to bother to ask the ancestor Buddha, can the Buddha bead be untied for the disciple?"

"The Buddha beads can protect you in danger, not only to protect you, but also to protect you-" The Ancestral Buddha paused for a moment halfway through his words, and then said, "That's it, and I will let you go." ”

The Seven Treasures Buddha Bead was removed from Hua Xin's wrist and fell into the hands of the Frost Ascension Ancestor Buddha.

Hua Xin thanked him, and then raised his head, and he had been sent out of the world by the Frost Ascension Ancestor Buddha.

Looking around and confirming the direction, Hua Xin set off east according to the guidance of the Frost Ascension Ancestor Buddha.

......

After Qin Zhenzhen said goodbye to Chiba, she followed Chiba's advice and headed west.

The road was smooth until the third day, when I encountered the first fork in the road.

One is south-west and leads to Tongzhou City, and the other is north-west to Yuhua Town. After passing through the two cities, the official road leading due west converges at Yangdu City.

If Qin Zhenzhen is slower than Hua Xin, then both paths are feasible. But if Hua Xin happened to be in one of these two cities, wouldn't the two of them miss it again.

In addition, the previous pursuit of Hua Xin was fruitless, and this time she chose, Qin Zhenzhen was extremely serious and cautious.

Qin Zhenzhen pulled the reins to the southwest, and said to herself: "It seems that Tongzhou seems to be more reliable. ”

"No!" Qin Zhenzhen exerted her strength violently, tightened the reins, and the horse also neighed due to fright, and stabilized the horse, she felt that it was inappropriate to Xiang Tongzhou, "The first few times I looked for Brother Hua, my direction was the opposite to him, and I still had to do the opposite!"

Having made up her mind, Qin Zhenzhen urged the horses and turned to the northwest.

The horses' hooves made a "click" sound and moved away to the northwest.

However, a moment later, the sound of "da-da" approached again, and Qin Zhenzhen drove the horse back to the fork in the road.

In the end, she still trusted her instincts and chose to go to Tongzhou.

Tongzhou is in the local hand crutch festival, and the liveliness in the city can be felt far away outside the city.

Tongcheng is rich in timber, and the locals are good at wood processing, and the wood products they make are very famous. Every year, tens of thousands of merchants come from all over the world to get their treasures.

For a period of time, over-exploitation left the copper city with no wood available. In order to recuperate, the city lord of Tongzhou at that time ordered that Tongcheng was only open to foreign merchants for two months every year, and those who cooperated with long-term exchanges must be booked in advance, and the goods must be fixed and quantified, and should not exceed the official order.

Over time, the two months of the copper city open for trading every year have gradually evolved into a fixed festival, one is used for large-scale trade, the other is used as a gift of thanksgiving to nature, and the third is to pay tribute to the ancestors, thanks to the inheritance and development of the ancestors, so that there is today's craftsmanship and everyone's wealth.

And because the local people manage the tools for making wood products, they are collectively called hand crutches, so this festival was finally named "Hand Crutch Festival".

Before entering the city gate, Qin Zhenzhen had already heard the festive blowing and beating from the distance in the city.

During the festival, there are many people coming and going in Tongzhou City, and they can enter the city without road guidance.

Qin Zhenzhen followed the flow of people into the city, only to see that the streets in the city were all bustling.

At the beginning and end of each street, there are elaborate signboards with the names of the streets and alleys. In front of every shop and household, there is a piece of woodwork, either ingenious or novel, indicating the main livelihood of the family.

The main road connected to the city gate is called "Dajiafang", and after listening to people's conversations, Qin Zhenzhen learned that on this road, only craftsmen who have been rated as "carpenters" can set up shops here.

Qin Zhenzhen is not interested in the wooden pimples, and focuses on finding Hua Xin's figure among the crowded human heads.

It wasn't until she passed a stall selling wooden "watchbirds" and heard the watchbird announcement that she realized that the day was approaching and it was time to find a place to eat and rest.

"Uncle, may I ask where is the inn here?" Qin Zhenzhen led the horse and stopped in front of the "Watchbird" stall to ask the stall owner.

"Yo, the girl is young, come up to us alone for a festival?" The stall owner's uncle talked with Qin Zhenzhen very enthusiastically, "Do you have a reserved store number? If you move in now, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

This situation was unexpected by Qin Zhenzhen, and she couldn't find a place to live, so it was troublesome. Although Tongcheng has not set up a city ban recently, there seems to be no private post on the official road nearby, and she can't sleep in the wilderness.

"I'll go check it out first, and I'll talk about it if I can't live there, in case I'm lucky." ”

"Okay, then you go and take a look first, the stack number is in the alley east of the next intersection. Uncle The stall owner was enthusiastic, and handed Qin Zhenzhen a very thin piece of wood, with a name and a list of addresses written on it, "If you can't find a place to stay, go to this place, this is my nephew's house, his family is the boss, usually useless, before the festival, from time to time will take out a few vacant rooms to entertain and entertain merchants." ”

Qin Zhenzhen thanked her and wanted to leave.

The stall owner's uncle remembered something again, and hurriedly stopped her and said, "Little girl, you have to pay attention, don't go to the Lion Tower, his family has a house, but it has not been peaceful in recent days, don't fall for his family!"
