Chapter 33: Red Eyelids
Jiang Ming, Momo and Huang Ya, the three of them chatted while walking, and finally left the vast reserve and came to a populated place.
This is a prosperous village and town, much more "magnificent" than the town adjacent to Beiwudang before, this place is still far away from Huojia Village, and it is estimated that it will be dark before it can be rushed......
You can drink some mountain springs to quench your thirst in the reserve, and when you come to this populated place, you are naturally looking for food for the first time, Jiang Ming, as an "expert", stole a lot of food from the small supermarket, and hid on the roof of a private house with Momo and Huang Ya, eating happily.
Momo was very excited, eating on the roof for the first time, the breeze was blowing, the blue sky and white clouds, and there was a kind of picnic artistic conception...... She nibbled on the beef in sauce, drank the yogurt, and felt ...... It's actually a lot of fun to be a cat.
Huang Ya looked at Jiang Ming and Mo Mo's salty oil flowers with disgust, it loved to knock peanuts, chewing "quack" and "quack", but it was self-satisfied.
When the three of them were talking and laughing at dinner, Huang Ya saw that a strange thing happened on a poplar tree not far away.
An old skin, tied a rope to a branch, and repeatedly gestured..... It looks like he's going to hang himself.
It's not unusual for this person to hang himself, can't he think about it when he encounters something bad, it's rare for a weasel to hang himself, but when he sees the hair on the tip of the old skin's tail, the cultivation is shiny, and the Tao is at least around 120 years, which is higher than Huang Ya's cultivation, what is this going on?
"King, King, look! There's an old brother going to hang himself!" Huang Ya pushed Jiang Ming and reminded.
Jiang Ming squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the poplar tree, feeling so strange, the animal hanged itself, this is the first time he has seen it, interesting! Interesting! Moreover, he also saw that this old skin is not ordinary, and the "coat color" is better than that of Huang Ya!
"King, save him, this must be something bad and he hanged himself if he can't think about it," Huang Ya sighed and said compassionately.
Mo Mo also said beside him: "Yes, I see..... There are deep tear troughs in the eye sockets of this weasel, as if he has just cried. ”
Although it is said..... The white ape told Jiang Ming and Momo that the so-called cultivation is to devour other spiritual objects, as well as absorb the essence of the sun and the moon to collect heavenly and earthly treasures, but it does not mean that they will kill "people" when they see them, and there is no principle at all.
The so-called right path of cultivation is to destroy those spiritual things that harm people, otherwise..... Indiscriminately killing innocent people and violating the way of heaven, even if you increase your cultivation, you will not be able to escape death when the time comes! Saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and when you encounter injustices, you must draw your sword to help you and accumulate virtue for yourself!
As he spoke, the old leather man had already completed the adjustment of the size of the hanging rope, his head drilled in, "plopped", and his feet stepped into the air to fall himself, and it struggled with both legs, bearing the pain before death......
"Ablake, Confid, Door Click......"
Jiang Ming recited the spell of recovering himself, and with a "whoosh", he jumped onto the poplar tree and dragged this guy back!
Lao Pizi saw a fat orange cat scurrying out of thin air, and he trembled with fright, and his upper and lower teeth "rattled", if Jiang Ming hadn't fixed its animal nerves in advance, this time ...... If you have to let out a fart, it will pollute the environment!
It thought it was ..... Jiang Ming is going to eat it, he is going to die anyway, how can he die or not, just let this fat cat eat it, and the old skin can also see it, this cat ...... Cultivation is higher than himself!, so he simply closed his eyes and waited for death.
Jiang Ming quickly scratched the rope and dragged the old weasel back to the roof like a dead dog.......
Mo Mo and Huang Ya approached and looked at the stiff and trembling weasel in front of them..... The jaw is slightly open, and he looks like he has no love, but he is extremely scared.
"Brother, what are you doing here, why are you committing suicide?" asked Huang Ya, pushing the old weasel.
The old weasel's body trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes, looking at Huang Ya, Jiang Ming, and Mo Mo, and was afraid...... I was full of surprise, and I thought to myself, what kind of "people" are these people, what the hell are they going to do, why is this one-eyed weasel still mixed with cats.
Huang Ya looked at its frightened appearance and comforted: "Old brother, don't be afraid, this is our king and the county lord, they are all good people, what happened to you, you can't think about it so much, you kill yourself!"
Only then did the old weasel realize that he had met a "good beast", and tears couldn't help but pour down, but he couldn't speak, so he could only look at them pitifully.
Jiang Ming lifted the spell, and the old weasel's mouth trembled and cried: "You guys leave me alone, let me die, I don't want to live, woo woo!"
Huang Ya looked at it compassionately and said, "Brother, look at your coat, you've been cultivating for at least 120 years, the ants are still stealing life, you are so good, what a pity to die, what happened to me, my lord and the county lord will definitely help you!"
The old weasel wiped away his tears and said, "My name is Huang Hammer, and I am the family protector of this Xiaowang Village, and my wife and I have guarded this village for generations......
It introduces its own life experience, Huang Hammer and his wife Huang Qiaoqiao are the treasurers of this village, who have been cultivating here for more than 100 years, removing dirt and evil for the people, accumulating virtue and doing good.
But just yesterday, a group of red-eyed weasels came to the village, defeated Hammerhammer and Qiaoqiao, not to mention, and snatched Qiaoqiao, to be their boss as the wife of the village.
The hammer hammer finally picked up a life, but his wife was gone, and he was aggrieved in his heart! He couldn't beat and beat, and he was unwilling to lose his wife, and his heart was narrow, and his heart said that he was dead! Only then he found a rope to hang on the poplar tree and prepared to hang himself.
"I thought of many ways to die, touching high-voltage electricity, drilling cars, and jumping into a well, but I thought it was too miserable...... That's why I chose to hang myself, woo woo woo!" Huang Hammer cried silently.
Huang Ya blinked sympathetically, while Jiang Ming and Momo found it particularly interesting, not that they didn't have sympathy, but that they found ...... This animal world is similar to the human world in many ways, and there are also such complex contradictions and entanglements.
"Red-eyed weasels ......?" Jiang Ming sighed playfully.
"Yes," said the yellow hammer with red eyes from crying, "these weasels are not the same breed as me and this old girl, their red eyes sweep you, and their bones and joints tremble, my mana can't subdue them at all, they are like weasels!"
"From a foreign country?" Everyone was shocked, and Huang Ya felt even more incredible: "Our place ..... When did the foreign weasels come?"
"Who knows?" said the Yellow Hammer, bowing his head pitifully, "maybe..... These red-skinned people have been cultivating for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are always Taoists in 200 years!"
It paused and then said, "These guys not only robbed my wife, but also forced me to ..... Stealing a chicken for them every day, what do you mean by me living? It's more like a king than a king...... Woooooooo
"Where are they, how many are there?" Jiang Ming asked.
Huang Hammer said: "In the White Pagoda Temple on the hillside, there are five of them, known as the Five Kings of Yanshan!"
Mo Mo asked curiously, "They..... Do you speak a foreign language?"
Huang Hammerhammer shook his head: "It's not a foreign language, I can understand it, but the accent is very strange, I want to come..... I have been in Middle-earth for hundreds of years with foreigners, and I have long been able to say our words, and I don't know how to be unlucky, I came to our Xiaowang Village!"
"The King..... Let's help it, look at how pitiful the old brother is?" Huang Ya pleaded.
Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
Everything is like this, save people to the end, send Buddha to the west, Huang Ya, as a beast, still has chivalrous courage, not to mention..... Jiang Ming and Momo were originally still individuals.
The old white ape taught Jiang Ming and Mo Mo, spells and the like are secondary, the key is: the right way of heaven and earth is the vicissitudes ......of life! Only the beasts who walk on the right end have the possibility of cultivating into "earth immortals"!
In fact, apart from some "well-known" differences, there is one other difference between humans and animals, and that is in terms of knowledge! These animals, which have become guardians, nest in one place, and generally rarely move around. Just like Huang Ya and her uncle, although the relationship is very deep, but they haven't said that they often go down the door for decades, they are all concentrating on cultivating in one place, and the concept of territory is very strong.....! Seeing these red-eyed weasels also thought they were alien species!
It's like a long time ago, when the farmers in the mountains had never seen a train in their lives...... Huang Ya is still diligent and studious, and usually likes to go to people's homes and watch TV or something. As for these red eyelids...... Why are the eyeballs red? There is a mystery in them!
"The temple used to ...... It's also your dojo, right? On which hillside?" Jiang Ming asked.
Huang Hammer shook his head: "It's not my dojo, and that temple is not a wild temple, how can I live in it?" On weekdays, on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, there are many people who go to incense...... Look, the king, there it is! Do you see that little white pagoda? That's the White Pagoda Temple!"
Jiang Ming and Mo Mo raised their eyes and looked, and sure enough, on the slope of the mountain seven or eight miles away, the mountain range turned back...... A small white tower looms! Because the maple leaves are all over the mountain and the trees are obscured, it is not very conspicuous.
"Yellow Temple?" Mo Mo gasped.
Jiang Ming was stunned: "What Yellow Temple? you mean..... Is that temple dedicated to weasels?"
"No, no, no, that's not what it means......" Momo shook his head.
Huang Hammer interjected: "King, that temple is not dedicated to Huang Taixian, there are gods and Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Wei Tuo, although the temple is not big, but the incense is very prosperous...... There was an old monk living in it, and he was alone. ”
Go without saying...... The old monk must have been controlled by now, Jiang Ming pondered...... He asked Momo again: "What did you mean by the Yellow Temple just now?"
Mo Mo replied, "Brother Jiang, I saw it from this tower...... This tower is special. ”
