Chapter 22: Medicine Beads
In the dream, it is still the mountain stream, the stream is still lying trickling, it is still the pair of smooth little feet, and it is still the young Ai who is as beautiful as the empty valley orchid.
She turned her head and smiled at him as if it were dawn.
"It's been a few days!" Shao Ai greeted Jiufang Xi with a smile.
Jiufang Xi was a little nervous, and there was irrepressible joy in his heart, as if his heart was about to jump out. He nodded and grinned, "It's not easy to dream of you. ”
"Idiot, how can you dream of anything......" Shao Aijiao snorted and beckoned Jiufang Xi to sit down beside her.
Smelling the elegant fragrance that was close at hand, looking at her side face in the morning light, Jiufang Xi felt that this was very good, and it didn't matter if it was a dream.
"I think you seem to have become a cultivator?" Shao Ai looked at Jiufang Xi, and after a while, he pursed his lips and asked with a smile: "Yes, I should have thought of it too, but I always felt that it was a little sudden." ”
"Don't you want me to cultivate the truth?" asked Jiufang Xi.
"Well...... Not really, it's just that once you become a cultivator, whether you are cultivating Buddhism, cultivating the Tao, or anything, you will always be involved in many things that you can't help yourself. The more people get, the more greedy they become. Shao Ai seemed to sigh: "It's like if people live for a long time, they hope that they can live a few more years, so they try all kinds of ways." ”
"Emperor Qin and Han Wu, no matter how many emperors in the world have been able to get rid of such a temptation. Jiufang Xi nodded.
If it was him a month ago, he would have felt that reading his own books in the private school, going home to drink a bowl of hot mutton soup, just a few pieces of original scalded mutton, and having nothing to do with Qi Yang from poetry and poetry to life philosophy, are all extremely happy things. And now, in addition to these, a desire to become stronger has taken root, and he wants to become stronger, not only to save his relatives, not only not to be played with by others, but also because he really likes the feeling of fulfillment brought by power.
When did it start? It must have started when Di Jiang followed him, right? From the first flame between his fingers? Or did he blow up a nasty person with a hundred and twenty thunders and flee? He was willing to be bland, but he also longed for the fullness of power, right?
As if he could know Jiufang Xi's thoughts, Shao Ai only smiled, his eyes bent into crescents, and his long eyelashes flickered. "Habit becomes natural. Sometimes I think about it, two people wandering above the clouds on a dragon, watching the golden crow rise in the east and set in the west, watching the clouds gradually change, holding the starting point of the wind in their hands, feeling the gentle and poignant beauty of the rainy day without making themselves look embarrassed, which is also a matter of hatred and pleasure. ”
Jiufang Xi fantasized with Shao Ai's whispering, thinking about it, as if he could really be immersed in the scene, and that feeling was like freeing his soul from his body.
"Xiuzhen, in fact, it's more about fulfilling your own wishes......"
She said.
......
"Old-fashioned?"
Jiufang Xi only felt that the shadow in his dream was getting farther and farther away, and he was like a boat sitting on the sea, undulating, almost throwing up.
When I finally woke up, I saw a cute little face with two fluffy ears in front of me, and my two hands were grabbing my shoulders and shaking them desperately.
"Eighty percent of me dreamed of a beautiful woman, and I was a pig brother with a face when I fell asleep, meow!" Xiao Xue'er let go of her hand and wiped it on Jiufang Xi's clothes, as if she was saliva, and her face was disgusting.
"Here ......" in front of him is a huge lotus platform - half an hour of size, if it is not for the fact that every petal of the lotus flower is vivid, Jiufang Xi is simply not sure that there is such a big lotus platform in the world! Outside the lotus platform is the pale pink petals that are stacked on top of each other, and the emerald green lotus platform inside, above the lotus platform is a seven-level floating temple, the sound of monks chanting scriptures is transmitted, accompanied by bursts of lotus incense, pure saint Buddha qi, only feel that people are already in the Buddha country, as if they are about to have an epiphany.
On the side of the lotus platform, which is also the place where Jiufang Xi is leaning now, is a stone more than one person high, and the stone is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the line and color of everyone. There is a bronze ancient bell more than one zhang high and a stone drum more than one person wide at a hundred steps on the east and west sides of the stone mirror.
"This is the Spiegel Terrace, old-fashioned, you sleep comfortably, my son has to give up his seat, and he has come all the way to walk, it's really tiring!"
Xiao Xue'er put away the car seat on the side and glanced at the purple cardigan: "What do you have to complain about, meow, don't you have a purple silk finch to carry you?
Jiufang Xi had nothing to say except for a sigh. I didn't want to come, I didn't want to participate, I didn't want to participate, I couldn't be quiet, so I had to do it.
"If you come, you will be safe. "Since he is here, Jiufang Xi will not dwell on this thing that has happened.
There are still several people in the Spiegel Terrace, all of whom are several foundation building masters who have been seen in the Changting Mansion. However, the young lord of Sanssouci City, the ram chief, did not come, and the cold woman June Xue did not come, so in addition to Su Xianti from the Spiegel Terrace, there were also two brothers, Fubai and Yangbai, Wang Buliuxing, who carried a machete, and Yindan, who was handsome. A person and a cat who are unfathomable on the outside, and a Jiufang Xi who can be blown to death by any person here.
"Fellow donors, in a little while, someone will come to the Xuanqi Gate, and I have your help!"
In fact, Jiufang Xi is still in a fog about this matter, and he only knows that it is Xuanqimen who wants to come to Mingjingtai for trouble, but he doesn't know why or in what way. However, since he was looking for trouble, fighting was inevitable, and he thought to himself, if it was difficult, how long could Phoenix's few magic weapons withstand.
"You Spiegel are also not like words, come to us for help, can your own family members not be able to watch the play in it? What about the other monks!" It was Wang Buliu who spoke, he was always direct, like his machete, rough and powerful.
Although Wang Buliuxing said it, the other people also looked the same, and they came to help, but they were not the thugs they found, which was really inappropriate.
Su Shenti was a little embarrassed, and folded his hands and said: "Amitabha, it's not that Spiegel is unwilling to come out, but ......"
"Isn't what the great monk said just an excuse!" said the purple shirt shaking his fan and laughing.
Su Xianti frowned and said "Okay", raised his hand and punched a Buddha qi towards the lotus platform, only to see the lotus petals blooming, revealing the hidden gate of the floating temple in front of people.
The door slowly opened, and a thin monk poked out, but this monk was seriously injured, and there was no intact skin on his body, and even one eyeball was gouged out. Another monk came out, this monk was pale and had blood flowing from his nose, and he was holding each other with his predecessors.
"One breaks bones and wrong tendons, and the other wastes the dantian, this ......" Yin Dan frowned.
There were six people out of the door, all of whom were seriously injured, and the slightly better ones were also broken legs, using wooden sticks as crutches.
A good place for Buddhism to be pure, at this time, it is as terrifying as the realm of Shura.
Wang Buliuxing coughed lightly and said no more, and the others naturally had nothing to say.
Yin Dan said: "Why did you get hurt like this?"
Su Xianti shook his head and said, "The Xuanqi Gate has broken my mountain gate for five consecutive days, only two people came at the beginning, four people on the second day, eight people on the third day, sixteen people on the fourth day, thirty-two people yesterday, and ...... today."
"It won't be sixty-four against your group of remnants, right?" Only the purple shirt was unmoved: "I have heard that there are beautiful women with good faces in the Xuanqi Gate, what are you in the monk temple that are worthy of such a large number of people from them? I'm afraid it's not just the reason you said before, the great monk, right? This son advises you to tell the truth, otherwise how can you let these masters in Sanssouci City try their best?"
Sutti pondered for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, but he never answered.
"Master, I hope you are clear about what you said, although we are the doormen of Sanssouci City, and obey the orders of the city lord and the young master, we will not waste our energy for some unnecessary things. Fu Bai also spoke, and his brother Yang Bai only nodded heavily to express his attitude.
"This master seems to have something unspeakable, but what is there that can't be said in this situation?" Jiufang Xi said secretly, he also felt that it was a little immoral to have to be explained.
Suddenly, Jiufang Xi suddenly saw the one hundred and eight Medicine Master Beads in Su Xianti's hand, and his temples suddenly tingled.
"What's going on?" Jiufang Xi was a little surprised. He had also looked at Suti before, but he didn't have such a clear feeling at that time.
Involuntarily, Jiufang Xi went to look at the string of pharmacist beads again, and the pain in his temples made him frown in pain.
"Dijiang! Dijiang!"
Jiufang Xi called out to Di Jiang in his heart.
"The hosts. Di Jiang spoke up after a moment.
At this moment, the eyes of the purple shirt fell on Jiufang Xi, and the smile on his mouth became a little stronger. However, he didn't express it too much, and he didn't even notice Xiao Xue'er beside him.
"Dijiang, that string of pharmacist beads...... That string of pharmacist beads!" Jiufang was so painful that it was difficult for him, but it was inconvenient to express it, and it was even harder to endure it, and cold sweat broke out in an instant.
"That's the Medicine Master Bead made of Chiyou's bones, hey......" Di Jiang sighed.
As if hesitating, Di Jiang's explanation was not as positive as before: "Chi You was the head of the twelve witch ancestors of the Great Witch Realm back then, and was later trapped and killed in Zhuolu by the two emperors of Yan and Huang. After 10,000 years of time, Chiyou's bones have become an extremely special material. I don't know much about what happened later, but I heard that there was a monk who was seriously ill when he traveled to chase the deer, and happened to fall next to the rock formed by Chiyou's bones, and his body was healed without medicine. The monk brought the special rock back to Ruoqiang and polished it into beads with white lines on a black background, which were used whenever the people of Ruoqiang were sick and could not be treated with medicine, and over time they became medicine beads. ”
"But why do I have such a strong reaction to this Medicine Master Bead?" Jiufang Xi forcibly looked away, and the pain in his temples quietly faded, as if nothing had happened.
"Because the master is also a wizard, maybe, it is a gift from the ancestor of Chiyou Wuzu to future generations......" Di Jiang said slowly.
"Gift......" Jiufang Xi silently recited these two words, and suddenly felt that he was indeed different.
