Chapter 17: Why Live
Three years ago, Qingyun Mountain collapsed overnight, and countless ghost blood slipped down the mountain wall, and the lives were devastated. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info countless people in the world sighed, shocking the justice of heaven and punishing the ghost mountain!
And now, the collapsed Qingyun Mountain has turned into a heavenly lake under several heavy rains. Like a mirror hanging in the sky, it shines on the suffering of the world.
Here, there is no longer the gloomy depression of the past, but like a paradise, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, enjoying the mercy of God!
A year ago, a group of displaced people flocked to the area, established villages, and soon became more and more numerous, relying on the superior natural environment and hard work. The city was actually established, renamed Qingyun City, and it became more and more prosperous!
And today, the growing city welcomes a group of weird travelers.
Three young monks with an immature girl were standing outside the city gate, looking up at the city sign of the dragon and snake above.
"Amitabha! This place has only been established in recent years, and it will not have any connection with the Puppet Body Sect, but if it is too late today, it is better to go into the city to rest, and explore the ruins of Shangqingyun Mountain tomorrow!"
A handsome monk with a golden dragon pattern staff and a bright red robe spoke. He spoke softly and looked at everyone with kind eyes.
"Yes, Senior Brother!" replied the other two monks in unison.
"Senior Sister Kongqing, come back!" the senior brother waved his hand to signal that they didn't need to be polite, but his eyes looked at the girl who was jumping towards the city gate in front of him.
Kong Qing didn't reply, ignoring the call of the senior brother as if he hadn't heard it, still galloping around like a loose little wild horse......
The senior brother was obviously a little embarrassed, his outstretched hand stopped in the air, and his expression was no longer as calm and elegant as before.
"Senior Brother Kong Che, don't care," an extremely thin little monk touched him on the shoulder. "Senior sister, she is a child's temper, and when she is fresh, she will be honest......"
"But this novelty ...... It's been three years now...... She's been so happy......"
The three of them fell silent, and everyone was deeply helpless in their hearts, but they had no choice but to hurry up to catch up with their little sister......
A few days ago, they were still immersed in penance in the temple, but now they were sent by the abbot master to investigate the news of the remnants of the puppet body sect.
Originally, this was a good errand, and I thought I could go out and relax, but who would have thought that this little devil of Mingwang Temple would sneak up and follow him......
The little junior sister in front of her suddenly stopped in front of an old man named Hanako at the city gate, her brows furrowed, and she suddenly quickened her pace, worried that something was wrong with her junior sister.
In today's world, crises are everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will never recover!
Kong Qing looked at the old man Hanako in front of him with some confusion, his clothes were in tatters, his white hair was fluffy and messy like a chicken nest on his head, and his face was also covered with mud, making it difficult to distinguish his appearance.
But in this way, this down-and-out old man gave her a familiar feeling, as if she had seen it somewhere.
"Amitabha! The old man is so pitiful, empty, quickly give some silver taels to this old man!"
Kong Qing suddenly found that at some point, the senior brother was already standing by his side, and said in a flat tone.
The monk named Kongfan was also like his name, he looked very ordinary, he heard the order of the senior brother, and hurriedly took out some broken silver from the package behind him and handed it to the silent beggar......
It is said that the people who cultivate immortals and Buddhas have transcended things, and worldly possessions are useless to them, but this mission is to make secret visits, so they also pretend to be ordinary monks, and they have prepared a large amount of gold and silver in their hands!
Entering the city, Kongqing and his party wandered around the bustling streets at will.
The brilliant sunlight shone between the green tiles and red walls everywhere.
The abrupt cornices, the high fluttering shop signs, the sparkling carriages and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the tranquil and comfortable smiling faces made them gradually have a little sense of prosperity and happiness, which can not be experienced in the temple.
After visiting for a long time, it was dusk before I knew it, but the sky was still unfinished.
"Senior Sister Kong Qing, it's getting late now, why don't we find a store to have a meal, rest, and wait for tomorrow to go shopping with you!" Kong Che smiled softly, obviously pampering his little junior sister.
Kong Qing touched her stomach very cutely, made a hungry expression, and looked up at the senior brother.
"yes, I'm hungry too!"
........................
When night falls, the lights in Qingyun City are dim and lively. Outside the city, however, there was a lonely city, with a cold wind howling and a little gloomy in the darkness.
Under the city gate, on the side of the road that should have been empty and uninhabited, there was a figure sitting cross-legged.
It's the old beggar!
I saw him sitting cross-legged, his back straight, completely devoid of the weakness and decadence of the day.
The slightest trace of aura was running in his body, and he turned out to be a cultivator as well.
Suddenly, he smiled slightly, and a voice in his heart that had been waiting for a long time suddenly sounded.
The old beggar got up slowly, his momentum changed abruptly, a wisp of violent and tyrannical aura emerged, and all the broken clothes on his body were changed, as if he had changed people.
He raised his hand and weighed the silver taels that the monks had given him in the evening, and walked steadily into the city.
Fortune Inn.
"Here it is, guest officer, please go inside, do you want to stay in the hotel?" The old beggar was wearing a brand-new robe, and as soon as he stepped into this inn, he saw a shopkeeper greet him with a smile on his face.
The restaurant was full of people, and the hall on the first floor was full of diners, and the smell of food and wine wafted away, which made people a little hungry.
"Stay in the hotel! Prepare two tables of wine and food and send them to the room at the same time! I can eat better! He replied with a smile, and at the same time threw all the silver in his hand into Xiao Er's arms.
"Okay, please go upstairs!" The shopkeeper smiled, the corners of his mouth were almost to the root of his ears, and he hurriedly took the old beggar to a good guest room.
"No, I'm not a vegetarian, I'm going to eat meat, my master didn't care about me, why don't you let me eat meat!!
Just as the old beggar stepped up the stairs, a crisp cry came into his ears, and he looked sideways, but it was the group of people who gave him silver taels, and the girl should have asked the three monks to buy her meat to eat.
He smiled slightly, as if he was thinking a little, and after hesitating, he followed Xiao Er upstairs.
No one saw it, and a thin black mist flashed away, and followed him into the guest room.
Sitting on the chair in the room, his face was calm, and he waited for Xiao Er to serve good food and wine without saying a word.
When the waiter pushed it down, he waved his hand slightly, and the wooden cork of the door was automatically inserted. With a snap of his fingers, a soundproof barrier filled the space.
"Come out!"
He whispered, only to see a black mist appear in front of him, gradually thickening, and a ghostly hungry ghost suddenly appeared!
It's Bai Xuan!
He pulled open the wooden chair beside the table with a big grin, sat down straight, and asked eagerly.
"Old Han, is the injury serious?"
It turned out that the old beggar was the last disciple of the puppet body sect, Han Fengzi!
"It's okay!" Han Fengzi waved his hand, his eyes were full of joy, and he was also happy that Bai Xuan could survive.
On that day, they agreed that if they survived, they would meet at the Qingyun Mountain site in March, and today was the last day.
"Tell me how you've spent all these days. ”
Han Fengzi's eyes were all kind, and at this moment, he really regarded Bai Xuan as his own disciple.
"At that time, I successfully escaped with the stand-in doll that you gave me, Han Lao, but the physical damage made me have to find a place to heal, fortunately, no one found me during this period, and I only woke up three days ago, so I tried my best to rush here to find you. ”
"Well, that's good!" Han Fengzi smiled as he handed Bai Xuan a pair of chopsticks, "Eat something, hunger is not something to enjoy." ”
Bai Xuan took the dishes and chopsticks, looked at the table full of wine and meat, and also moved his index finger.
He had just picked up the chopsticks, but there was a "click" sound, and the slender wooden chopsticks were accidentally broken by him.
Do you still miss the time of human beings? Bai Xuan asked you softly in his heart, but he grabbed a roast chicken with one claw, stuffed it whole into his mouth, and swallowed it without spitting out the bones.
I am already a hungry ghost, and I can't change it, and at the same time, I still want to live as a hungry ghost! I will no longer be humble like an ant to survive! If it is not my race, its heart will be different! I, Bai Xuan, have no connection with human beings. Humans! It's just my blood food!
At this moment, a bloody seed took root in Bai Xuan's heart, although it was still very immature, it faintly had the momentum of a strong man and had unlimited potential.
Han Fengzi silently ate the food in front of him, feeling the change in Bai Xuan's breath, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, in this world, kindness also represents death.
There was no word for a while, and every ghost was burying his head in eating.
Of course, Han Fengzi had only eaten a very small number of wine and food, and most of the meat had already entered Bai Xuan's stomach, but his hunger had not been reduced much......
After a moment, the two looked at the messy table, smiled, and each lifted a pot of sake, saluted each other, and opened their mouths to drink.
"Happy!" Bai Xuan casually threw away the empty wine jug, and stroked the blood-red broken hair in front of him on the top of his head with one hand, his expression was very enjoyable.
In his previous life, he loved tobacco and alcohol, and no one knows whether he really liked it or whether it was to cover up the emptiness and pain in his heart.
"Bai Xuan!" Han Fengzi's eyes were still clear, "Why are you alive?"
"In order to survive...... Bai Xuan suddenly felt a little confused, and his survival all day long made him never think about this problem in his life. "To live...... And alive?"
Han Fengzi didn't speak, just looked at Bai Xuan indifferently.
"No, I want to be strong! I want to be strong! I'm Bai Xuan! I'm born to be strong!"
"I want to see who the future enemies are! And I will have wives and daughters, and although I don't know who they are yet, I will protect them and all the things I cherish!"
"When a man is in the world, he should dominate the world and gallop all over the world, so that he is worthy of the splendid life!"
Bai Xuan stood up from the chair, his ghost intent mixed with the smell of wine was raging, and his tone seemed very excited. It must be alcohol, he said the domineering and ambition that he had never revealed in the past!
"As a hungry ghost, do you choose to guard?" Han Fengzi sighed, feeling a little shocked in his heart.
"It has nothing to do with race!" Bai Xuan looked down at Han Lao, his ruddy face looked even more hideous, "All living beings live according to their hearts!"
