195 Don't remember me
This person's voice was extremely small and soft, and if it weren't for the mastery of revealing the truth, he might not be able to hear it at all.
Jie Di turned around, only to see a very special old gentleman away from the crowd, sitting on the ground with his legs stretched out at will, with a very leisurely and chic posture. Around him, there were also a few young people, either sitting on the ground, or standing with their hands down, respectful, and at first glance, they were all in order.
The one who spoke just now was the old gentleman in the center,
To say that he is special is to be polite, to be exact, he looks a little nondescript in this dress. Usually poor scholars like to wear shirts, and the steppe barbarians will braid many small braids on their heads.
The old gentleman had a lot of small braids on his head, but he was wearing a shirt, a four-inch wide moire belt tied around his waist, ivory belt hooks, and jade decorations.
These distinct styles focus on one person, how awkward it looks.
But Jiedi didn't pay attention to the clothes, he was wondering what the old gentleman said, whether the other party was joking, or was the god worshiped by the people his old man?
After concentrating for a moment, there was no aura fluctuation on the old gentleman's body. However, those young people are all rare immortal cultivators.
There were two or three of them, and their Taoism was even higher than that of Senior Brother Nagarjuna.
Could it be that this is the legendary master?
Jiedi carried Ruixue on his back to meet him, but the old gentleman suddenly yawned, and just lay on his side on the ground, sleeping with his eyes closed.
Is it a coincidence, or is it deliberate?
Jiedi was a little embarrassed, standing aside and refusing to leave, but he had patience.
A short time later, a farmer came to sell two loads of sweet potatoes. The farmer seemed to be in awe of the old gentleman, and made a special trip forward, put down his burden, and bowed respectfully to the old gentleman.
"Immortal, I listen to you, when I split the family, I asked for the most dilapidated and oldest-aged thatched house, three feet below the east wall, there is really a jar of broken silver, and a book, what is called "Taigong Liu......", I don't know the last word. ”
"Taigong Liutao". ”
The old gentleman opened his eyes, accepted the salute calmly, and casually picked out a small piece of sweet potato from the burden.
I saw that he wiped the mud on the sweet potato with his sleeve without any image, took a big bite, and said with a smile: "Li Chongjiu, tomorrow your brother will come to the door and ask for an equal share of the silver left by the ancestors." If you want to stay in Li Village for the rest of your life to farm, you don't have to pay attention to him. If you want to be a general, don't be stingy and give him half of the money. A careful study of "Taigong Liutao" will come from the will have something to do. ”
"Thank you, sir. ”
The farmer smiled, and kowtowed again before he stood up.
When he inquired about the farmer, it turned out that the old gentleman was a enlightened alien, whose name and origin were long unknown, and the farmer had only heard that since his grandfather's generation, the old gentleman had been ferrying on the Amber River every autumn.
Amber River is a small river formed by the convergence of streams on the Kunyu Mountains and flowing into the Weishui River to the east.
The old gentleman never charged money, but only asked each passenger to tell a story about what they had personally experienced.
For more than 100 years, the old gentleman's appearance has not changed at all, and he can pinch and calculate, saying: "I know three thousand years before, and I know five hundred years later." ”
It is said that this gentleman is very capable, but he is very kind, if the villagers have something to ask for, no matter how difficult things are, kowtow to him a few times, he will let go, and accept it.
I thought to myself: The rumors may not be credible, but I think this old gentleman has a good way to stay in his face, and his health skills are quite unique, and he is still a person who is good at calculation. I don't want to save face, I will also kowtow a few times and ask him for guidance.
Jiedi stepped forward again and lowered Ruixue from her back and let her rest on her chest.
The young men looked at Jiedi, and one of them twisted his fingers slightly, and said with a smile: "It's someone from Xiaoleiyin Temple." ”
Jiedi clasped his hands together and saluted the old man, but before he finished the salute, the old student suddenly turned his back, waved his hand and said, "Monk, I can't say it, I can't say it." ”
Jiedi was slightly stunned, at this time the sacrificial ceremony had ended, and the crowd did not disperse, but gathered to watch Jiedi.
Because he is so conspicuous, a bald monk in a bald robe, actually holding a woman in his arms, or an unconscious woman.
There was a lot of talk.
"The way of the world has really changed, people who have families and rooms, wives and concubines like to talk about empty talk, eat fasting and chant Buddha. The monk who was a monk walked with a woman with red makeup, hugging and hugging. ”
"Obscene monk!"
"Maybe the great monk is giving alms in the flesh to transform this woman? ”
When Jiedi was with Rui Xue back then, he didn't know how many things that were more difficult to hear, and he only listened silently and didn't say a word, no matter what people said.
There is an old saying in Middle-earth, which is called "Where sincerity goes, gold and stone are open." ”
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Jiedi will try his best to fight for it, he took a step back, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed three times in a row, praying: "I heard that the predecessors have great magical powers, ask the predecessors to show the poor monks a clear way, is there a way to extend the lives of ordinary people in the world?"
Before the words fell, only a pop was heard, and the old gentleman also knelt on the ground.
Everyone was amazed and dumbfounded.
"Uncle Shi!
The young men standing in front of the old gentleman were stunned, and they retreated to the left and right, not daring to accept the old man's bow. The young men standing behind him stepped forward quickly and helped him with all hands and feet.
Soon, these young people discovered a problem: they couldn't hold their uncle and ancestor at all, and they couldn't help him up.
The old gentleman stiffly kowtowed three times before getting up, and said slowly: "Great monk, what you ask, whoever tells you is harming you, I won't say, if you kowtow, I will kowtow back to you." ”
Jiedi was stunned, if the old gentleman ignored him, or refused, he could continue to stalk. But the old gentleman reacted like this, and it was clear that he would not accept his request.
For a while, Jiedi looked at Rui Xue who was dying in his arms and felt extremely desperate. After a while, he said in a dumb voice: "Senior, I am willing to pay any price, as long as she can live." If there is a way to continue life, please say it, the poor monk is grateful. ”
The old gentleman's eyes suddenly flashed a hint of color, he pondered for a moment, and said: "If after renewing her life, she will completely forget you, and she will never remember who you are, you will be counterattacked by mana, and you will never have a chance to become a Buddha from now on, and you will have no regrets?"
The blood on Jiedi's face disappeared in an instant, and he looked at Ruixue in a daze, and after a long time, Jiedi suddenly smiled slightly, put his hands together and said, "She doesn't have to remember me." ”
"Then you come with me. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he walked towards the mountain first, and every step he took was a hundred feet away, but he looked leisurely, like a leisurely stroll.
Jiedi followed far behind, the mountain wind whistling backwards, and the mountains and forests on both sides retreated rapidly.
Wherever the old man passed, the birds and beasts were safe, and those who drank continued to drink water, and those who slept continued to sleep. Once the truth is revealed, the birds will fly in shock, and the wild beasts will run wildly, and there will be chaos for a while.
Suddenly, the old gentleman stopped, stood on the waves of the Amber River, raised his right hand, and said without looking back: "Monk, what rare treasures do you have with you? ”
