Chapter 5: The Mortal World
Jiang Huan quickly came back to his senses, walked to the little boy lying on the ground, and at the same time asked Li Sheng to help the old man treat his internal injuries, under Li Sheng's true qi, the old man's complexion quickly improved a lot, Jiang Huan asked Li Sheng to give some money to the old man, and then found someone to send the old man to the hospital to heal.
"How's it going?"
Jiang Huan helped up the boy, who was not much different from him.
The boy clenched his teeth and shook his head heavily, indicating that it was okay, Jiang Huan was very surprised after looking at the little boy, because he didn't expect that the child in front of him, who was about the same age as him, had been whipped by Liu Er before, but now there were no scars on his body except for his clothes being torn.
"What's your name, why did you steal that Liu Er's money bag?" Jiang Huan said as he looked at the little boy.
"I ...... I didn't have a name, and everyone else called me a little beggar and an ugly bastard! I was so hungry and penniless that I had to steal the man's purse. The little boy was a little frightened, and he stammered.
Jiang Huan looked at the little boy and felt that he was not much different in age from him, but the difference in life was very different, so he moved his heart of compassion and looked at Li Sheng.
"Uncle Li, how about we take him back to the house? Anyway, I have one less companion, and I can let my father take him as a righteous son, so I will have one more brother. ”
Li Sheng nodded lightly and said, "Just let the son decide, if there is a son, there should be no big problems for the master!"
Jiang Huan smiled, took the little boy's hand and said, "You don't have a place to go, so go to my house!"
"This ...... Are you okay? don't you dislike me for being ugly?" said the little boy, pointing to the bulge on his head, a little incredulous.
Boy, he just saw Li Sheng with a piece of gold in his hand, although he didn't know Jiang Huan's true identity, but judging from the situation just now, it was absolutely unusual! So Jiang Huan said that he wanted to go home with him, and he felt like he was dreaming.
"Silly boy, the little grandfather's kindness is well known, of course what he said will not be false! You just let him go, it's better than you wandering the streets!"
Some of the surrounding vendors looked at the little boy's expression and spoke to persuade him.
"Yes, I will, I will do anything, as long as I can eat enough!" replied the little boy, nodding excitedly.
Jiang Huan was sincerely happy that he was about to have a younger brother at home in the future, so he dragged off his cloak and gave it to the little boy, preparing to turn around and leave.
"Haha... This little benefactor walks slowly!"
Jiang Huan heard a loud laugh behind him, and turned around to see a bald head wearing a pale yellow robe looking at him with a smile.
Li Sheng saw that the person was dressed, his face changed slightly, and after careful observation, he didn't feel the other party's cultivation, and he felt great fear and worry in his heart.
"Are you calling me, who are you?" Jiang Huan said with a puzzled face, looking at the strangely dressed person in front of him.
"Exactly! The poor monk is just a flat boat floating in the sea of bitterness!" The bald head in the pale yellow robe folded his hands together, bowed his head slightly and smiled.
"Then this Bian Zhou, do you have something to do with me?" Jiang Huan asked jokingly to the person in front of him.
Puff~
Li Sheng couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard Jiang Huan's name for that person behind him.
"Haha, the little benefactor is really extraordinary! The poor monk looks at your pure heart, and there are some things that cannot be said! Today's encounter is really due to the fate, so I give you two volumes of scriptures."
The bald head took out two yellow-looking books from his arms, stepped forward and handed them to Jiang Huan.
Jiang Huan looked at these two books, and there were "Maha Heart Sutra" and "Diamond Sutra" in the books.
"What's the use of these two books?" Jiang Huan flipped through a book and looked up to ask the bald head.
"Haha, don't say it! Don't say it! The little donor will experience it for himself! The poor monk says goodbye, you and I are destined to meet each other!" The bald head chuckled, waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Then when can we see each other again?" Jiang Huan felt inexplicable and shouted loudly.
The bald head in the pale yellow robe faded away, and there was no turning back, only some voices floating leisurely.
"Ninety-nine, pure Haoran.
The bitter sea rises and falls, and the flat boat returns home"
"The bitter sea rises and falls, and the boat returns home... What does this mean?" Jiang Huan muttered to himself, but he had no clue.
Jiang Huan pondered for a while, patted his head but had no thoughts, put the two books in his arms, and left with the little boy and Li Sheng.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, the crowd around them gradually dispersed......
After Jiang Huan took the boy back to the house, he told Jiang Ao what happened today, and was praised by Jiang Ao and Zhou Ruoyan.
Jiang Ao was very merciful to the little beggar's encounter today, and immediately accepted the little beggar as his righteous son and renamed him "Jiang Yu", so Jiang Huan had a younger brother.
When Jiang Huan mentioned the bald man to Jiang Ao, Jiang Ao was shocked, so he let Jiang Huan and Xun Yue go to the study together and not let others disturb him.
In the study, Jiang Ao and Xun Yue sat next to each other, and Jiang Huan stood in front of them.
"Huan'er, tell me more about the bald head you just encountered!" Jiang Ao was the first to speak.
Jiang Huan told the matter 1510, and took out the two scriptures and handed them to Jiang Ao and Xun Yue.
"Third brother, what do you think about this matter?" Jiang Ao looked at the Maha Heart Sutra in his hand and asked Xun Yue.
"Big brother, these two books don't seem to be anything special, but judging from the words left by the monk, he must have known the existence of the Haoran Qi in Huan'er's body! His cultivation must be above me, and it is unfathomable, otherwise he must not ignore the seal and perceive Huan'er's dantian. Xun Yue looked at Jiang Huan, put down the "Diamond Sutra" in his hand, and said in a deep voice.
"Big brother, Huan'er is not too young! It's time to tell him about the outside world? Xun Yue said to Jiang Huan.
Jiang Ao nodded lightly when he heard this, looking at Jiang Huan who was puzzled in front of him.
"Huan'er, do you want to know the outside world of Yuandu?" Jiang Ao stood up and said.
Jiang Huan nodded excitedly, looking at Jiang Ao and Xun Yue with excited eyes.
"Okay, I'll tell you slowly! The world we live in is called the "mundane world"......" Jiang Ao walked to the window and spoke leisurely.
"The mundane realm, why is it called the mundane realm?" Jiang Huan looked at Jiang Ao with a puzzled expression.
"The so-called mundane realm is because all life in this world has a limited lifespan. When someone can shatter the void and reach that divine realm, they can enjoy endless life without having to endure the pain of old age, sickness and death in this life. But there are not many lives in the mortal realm, but not many people can soar to the divine realm!"
"Endless life, then how can you ascend to the Divine Realm?" Jiang Huan's eyes were excited, and he asked with fascination.
"Ascend to the Divine Realm, hehe, this is too far away for you, and some things will be known when you enter the Yuan Palace. ”
"In the mortal world, our Xuanyuan Empire is in the center of the place, in the far north of the hidden murderous demon race, thousands of demon races gathered in the southern mountains, the empire is connected to the Xingming Empire in the east, and the Buddha country is in the west. In fact, the Xingming Empire was originally a subject country of the Xuanyuan Empire, but it was instigated by others three thousand years ago to break with the Xuanyuan Empire and become what it is now. Jiang Ao's eyes were certain, and he said leisurely.
"In addition to the Yuan Palace, our Xuanyuan Empire also has four mansions, three palaces, one sect and one hall, and in addition to one sect and one hall in the Xingming Empire, there is only one existence of the Four Holy Palaces. These forces are not involved in the struggle between the two countries, they only want to pass on the Dao system in the human race. However, the Four Holy Palaces in the Xingming Empire can dominate one side, so that the four mansions and three palaces in the Xuanyuan Empire cannot preach in the Xuanyuan Empire, and its strength is not strong. Xun Yue said on the side.
"Ah! Four mansions, three palaces, one sect and one hall, what kind of forces are they?" Jiang Huan was speechless.
Jiang Ao looked at Jiang Huan with a surprised face, patted his head lightly and continued: "Four Mansions, Three Palaces, One Sect and One Palace, referring to the Xuantian Mansion, the Heavenly Master's Mansion, the Thousand Illusions Dream Mansion, the Danjun Mansion, the Dao Palace, the Jade Void Palace, the Biyou Palace, the Three Emperors Sect, and the Five Emperors Palace", these forces have been inherited from the Four Holy Palaces of the Xingming Empire and the Five Great Temples of the Buddha Kingdom for endless years, and some have even existed since before the birth of the human race! It is said that the four mansions and three palaces in the Xuanyuan Empire have some relationship with the four holy palaces of the Xingming Empire, so the four mansions and three palaces have not crossed the border to preach. ”
Jiang Huan's mouth read these names, his eyes lit up, Jiang Ao's words made him know the size of the world for the first time, and also aroused his yearning for these forces.
Jiang Huan became more and more fascinated, and asked Jiang Ao to tell him the origin of the bald head.
"The bald head you meet today is the people of the Buddha country, the Buddha country does not have the existence of imperial power, and the people in the Buddha country are all subordinate to the five major temples. Only the five major temples in the Buddha Kingdom are bald-headed and call themselves monks, as they call themselves "taking refuge in Buddhism." The Buddha country is mysterious and unpredictable, our Xuanyuan Empire and the Xingming Empire have secretly sent people to the Buddha country, wanting to explore the details of the five major temples, but the people who went there finally "converted", and no one came back, so far the two countries have not sent people to the Buddha country. Jiang Ao sighed and spoke indifferently.
Jiang Huan walked to Xun Yue's side, and asked Xun Yue to tell that it was the five major temples, listening to Xun Yue, Jiang Huan knew that "Leiyin Temple, Jiaye Temple, White Horse Temple, Tianlong Temple, Dayan Temple" are collectively referred to as the five major temples, among which Leiyin Temple is the most powerful and has the most profound heritage.
"Among the five major temples of the Buddha Kingdom, the people who walk the world are not extraordinary people, not only cultivated profoundly, but also have superior wisdom, so today you met that monk, we are so worried. Xun Yue on the side opened his mouth and continued.
"These two scriptures seem to be just ordinary classics, and the power of Buddhism cultivated by Buddhist monks is the most restrained demon race, and the Buddhist monks who go out are more benign people, but they have a more strange personality. Since the monk gave you these two scriptures, maybe they will be useful to you! So you can take these two scriptures yourself, and you can decide what to do with them!"
"It's so powerful, I don't feel that monk's cultivation?" Jiang Huan said innocently.
"Haha, how can you be able to perceive the cultivation at the peak of your Qi Convergence, even if I was in the capital at the time, ......!" Xun Yue laughed and looked at Jiang Huan, who didn't know the height of the sky.
"By the way, there are also demons and demons, what about the Xingming Empire, father, you haven't finished talking yet!" Jiang Huan became more and more interested the more he listened, and shouted by pulling Jiang Ao's sleeve.
"The rest will slowly know after you enter the Yuan Palace, and it's useless to tell you now! You better hurry up and cultivate and break through to the Tongmai Realm as soon as possible!" Jiang Ao patted Jiang Huan's head and let him cultivate with peace of mind, Jiang Huan had no choice but to give up.
