Chapter 23: A Chance for You (Volume 1 Finale)
After something is fresh for a while, it will become commonplace, and in the next few days, there will be seventy percent fewer onlookers, and Qin Yu will be much more leisurely.
But deep in his heart, there is always a trace of loneliness, and the difficulty of obtaining the exercises is far beyond his imagination, and I am afraid that even Fang Shanqing does not have that ability.
Perhaps, it's time to think of another way out.
At this time, a down-and-out young man caught his attention, a young man of his age, wearing a ragged jacket much larger than his own body, standing in front of the door of the Baicaotang and hesitating whether to enter.
After wandering for a long time, he finally made up his mind and walked in, but he was beaten out after a while.
"Damn, who would dare to enter this door, and a few copper plates want to buy 100-year-old ginseng? Are you sick in the brain?
The boy wiped his tears and cried, "I don't just have these copper plates, I can also write IOUs, I am full of poetry and books, and I will not be able to do it for ten years...... No, five years, I will definitely go to high school, and when the time comes, I will return it to you with interest! Please, my mother is dying!"
"Full of poetry and books, still in high school, don't daydream, you've seen a lot of guys like you, I advise you to find a pit and bury your half-dead mother!"
"What are you talking about!" The boyish face turned red, and he rushed up to theorize, but the guy raised his foot and kicked him, and he kicked him to the ground at once, and he couldn't get up after struggling for a long time.
The man spat and turned and went into the house.
The boy looked at the man's back, his eyes full of hatred, and at that moment, an arm was placed on his arm.
"Get up!"
The young man looked at him, shook off his hand very stubbornly, and slowly stood up against the wall.
Seeing that his master was insulted, the big yellow eye immediately barked at him, and the young man's face changed greatly, and his body involuntarily shrank into the corner of the wall, as if he was extremely frightened.
"Rhubarb!
Qin Yu threw Rhubarb aside, Rhubarb whined a few times aggrievedly, and lay on the ground.
"This is my dog, very docile, don't you be afraid, your mother is seriously ill?"
The young man saw that Qin Yu was the same age as him, hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, "Yes, in order to let me study, my mother worked long hours for other people's homes during the day, and had to go to the inn to wash clothes at night, her health has not been very good, a few days ago she suffered from the cold, she carried it hard, but she didn't expect it to become a cold fever in a few days, and it was too late to seek medical treatment again, the doctor said that my mother's vitality must be overdrawn, and it must be a century-old ginseng to nourish the vitality to be able to recover, otherwise it will ......"
As he spoke, he began to cry.
"Did you find another healer?"
"No, my family is poor, and I spent all my money just to buy medicine, so how can I afford to hire a doctor. ”
"Well, can you take me to see it? I know a little bit about medicine, and maybe I can help you. ”
"You?" the boy stopped crying and looked at him in surprise.
"yes, where is your house? I'll go with you!"
The young man was moved by the sincerity of the person in front of him, and finally agreed, the two walked in the city for a long time, the houses gradually became low, and a large number of stall owners on the roadside called for selling fruits, vegetables, meat, etc., not as luxurious as before, but also prosperous, Qin Yu also learned that the young man's name was Sun Ming, his father died early, and his mother alone pulled him up, and the conversation was indeed like reading a book for a few years.
After sparing a few alleys, the two came to a low adobe house.
"This is it!" Sun Ming pushed the door open, Qin Yu noticed that he didn't even lock the door when he left the house, and when he went in, he saw that this place was so broken, so broken that there would be no thieves at all. There was a large pile of firewood in the yard, and there was a well next to it, but there was no wheel. Next to the mouth of the well was a wooden barrel with a piece of hemp rope tied to the handle. The adobe houses are supported by a few fairly large beams and columns, and the weathering is so severe that it seems that it will collapse soon.
"Come in! there's nothing to entertain at home, I'll get you some water!"
Qin Yu entered the house, there was a smell of medicine coming from the shop, there was almost no furnishings in the house, and there was an old woman lying on the bed by the window, her black and white mottled hair proved that she was not too old, but her face was furrowed and extremely vicissitudes.
Sun Ming fetched a bucket of water from the well and poured a big bowl for Qin Yu, the well water was sweet and cool, and it was also pleasant.
When the old woman heard the voice, she woke up faintly, barely smiled, and asked, "Son, who is here?"
Sun Ming hurriedly said: "Mother, this is a friend of mine, who knows a little about medicine, I asked him to help you take a look." ”
When the old woman heard this, she coughed lightly a few times, and her voice was weak, "Don't bother, my mother's illness is counted in my heart! Mother's time is running out, I have already told Boss He of the workshop, you go to his place to do things, take care of a meal, and have fifty copper plates a month." You study while doing things, and if you are admitted to fame in the future, you will have a good life. ”
When Sun Ming heard this, he immediately fell down on the old woman and said with a crying voice: "Mother, don't say stupid things, you will be fine, and I will cure you." I'm going to let you watch your son go to high school with your own eyes, and when the time comes, I'll marry a daughter-in-law and have a lot of children, and you'll tease the children, okay?"
"Okay, good! ”
Qin Yu was silent and gave the old lady a ride.
Only then did he know how strict her body was overdrawn, it should be due to years of hard work, and the vitality of the guide was greatly damaged, and the wind and cold were just the fuse that destroyed the body. In this case, it is no longer an ordinary medicine that can be cured, and there must be a genius earth treasure to nourish the vitality, and the doctor did not deceive him, but in this case, I am afraid that the century-old ginseng will not have much effect.
Sun Ming was already crying silently. Seeing this, he touched the half of the Lingzhi in his arms, and then recalled the previous things, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"That's it, Sun Ming, take this half of Lingzhi!"
Sun Ming wiped away his tears and looked at the things in Qin Yu's hand blankly, not knowing what to do for a while.
"This thing is a three-hundred-year-old Changjingzhi, the best of the Ganoderma lucidum, enough to save your mother's life, you must not forget what you just said, when the old lady is healed, you must be filial to repay the grace of life and nourishment!"
With a plop, Sun Ming fell to his knees!
"Engong! Great grace is not thanks, if Sun Ming gets ahead one day, he will not forget Engong's kindness today, and I hope Engong will know his name!"
Qin Yu glanced at him and spit out two words,
"Qin Yu!"
When he walked out of Sun Ming's house, the sky was gloomy and it seemed to be raining, and he suddenly realized that the fate of people and people was so strange. He has nothing of his own, but he can control the life and death of others.
"I can control the life and death of others, but I can't find my own direction......"
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and a torrential downpour of rain fell in an instant.
"Amitabha, donor, the poor monk is polite!"
Qin Yu looked at the old monk in front of him in surprise, and folded his hands together, "Master, we meet again." ”
"Donor, the old monk has a doubt in his heart, and I hope you can solve it. ”
"Master, please speak. ”
"Changjingzhi is the beloved thing of the donor, and he doesn't want to sell it for ten thousand taels of gold, why do you give it away for nothing?"
Qin Yu just shook his head and smiled: "The Buddhists have clouds, and saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter." Sun Mingzhi is sincere and filial, this heart touched me, but unfortunately my mother died tragically, and I have no chance to fulfill my filial piety. To tell you the truth, this half of Lingzhi was obtained by me through life and death, in order to cure my father's illness. It's just too late. ”
"So it is like this, to treat others with oneself, and the benefactor is pure and kind-hearted, which is admirable. ”
"Not really, originally I really wanted to use it in exchange for the Daomen exercises, but those experiences also made me understand that the Daomen exercises are not so easy to obtain. If it weren't for the master, the kid would have been a dead man, and he was innocent, but he was guilty, and since he couldn't keep it no matter what, why not fulfill others? Perhaps, I was too persistent. Don't hide it from the master, the moment I gave away the Lingzhi, I suddenly felt a sense of relief, that thing didn't belong to me in the first place. Now I also understand that letting go is also a gain. ”
Boom! Another bolt of lightning swept across the sky, instantly illuminating the entire earth, and Qin Yu suddenly found that the old monk's unwavering face was actually full of astonishment at this moment.
"Letting go is also a kind of gain? Could it be that the previous me was defeated by this attachment?"
The old monk's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha! I see, I see, I see! It's a pity that the poor monk was born at the wrong time, and he met you too late." Now, if you give someone a chance, the poor monk will give you a chance!"
........................
In the extreme west of Great Qin, there is a mountain named Xianxuan, and in the eyes of ordinary people, Xianxuan Mountain is just a mountain name in the barren mountains and mountains. But I didn't know that Xianxuanmen, one of the four pillars of Longxi, was here.
Immortal Xuanmen, Ling Xian Palace.
A woman in white looked up at the sky, far to the east, a purple star was rising, evil and bewitching. She looked at it quietly, and sighed faintly: "The demon star was born, and Longxi is going to be chaotic again, but I don't know if this time, is it a blessing or a curse for my immortal Xuanmen?"
"Ancestor, are you looking for me?"
A middle-aged Taoist appeared in front of her, this person was dressed in a seven-star Taoist robe, his face was thin, but he was very majestic.
"How many years has it been since the last time this sect opened the mountain to accept disciples?"
"Ancestor, it's already three out of fifty, and in seven years it will be the next time. ”
"Don't wait for seven years, I will inform the world today, this door will open the mountain to accept apprentices, for a period of three years, and those who meet the requirements will be accepted together, rather than lacking, go!"
A trace of astonishment appeared on the Daoist's face when he heard this, but he knew that the ancestor must have a reason for doing this, so he said "yes" and respectfully retreated.
At the same time, this newly appeared purple demon star was discovered in various places in the land of Longxi, and at the same time, the four major sects and countless small sects had started a new round of opening gifts, and the cultivation realm was surging for a while, and the undercurrent was surging.
At this time, on a nameless hill, the old monk sat quietly on the futon, and Qin Yu knelt respectfully in front of him. At this moment, he has grown from a ten-year-old child to a thirteen-year-old boy, and three years of eating and drinking have made him have a kind of unpretentious simplicity, and his face is even more calm that does not match his age.
The old monk looked at the young man in front of him and suddenly smiled.
"It's been three years, time flies so fast......" His words were very peaceful, but Qin Yu felt an urge to cry when he heard it, because he knew that the old monk's time was running out.
"It is not easy to cultivate the Ten Thousand Tribulation Vajra, for this reason, the poor monk also deliberately abolished the true qi in your body, so far, you have not disappointed the poor monk, the Ten Thousand Tribulation Vajra, now it has passed a hundred tribulations, it is considered a small success, with the amount of flesh alone, it is enough to withstand the full force of the peak monk of Qi cultivation, but the cultivation world is dangerous everywhere, you can't be careless, this relic is the treasure of Buddhism, which can save your life at a critical moment. ”
"Thank you, Master!"
"If you give the poor monk another ten years, when you can be guaranteed to refine the poisonous Gu in your body, it's a pity that the time will not wait for me, the poor monk deduces, the day when the body of a thousand tribulations is completed, the poisonous Gu will dissipate, these three pills, take one every six years, to ensure that you are safe for eighteen years, and after eighteen years...... It will be up to you to make it. ”
"Yes!"
"If, in your lifetime, you fail to attain the Great Dao, then you find someone with an open mind and teach him the Ten Thousand Tribulations, it can be regarded as a cause and effect. ”
"Yes!"
"That bead of yours is a magic weapon of destruction, and it is difficult for the poor monk to see it for many days, and the origin of the toad beast is also extraordinary, if used properly, it will become a great help for you. ”
"Yes, but Xiaobai fell into a deep sleep for some reason a few days ago, and he didn't wake up for several days. Since the little guy was white, Qin Yu gave him this name.
"Don't worry, this is a sign of imminent advancement, the time has come, and you will wake up!"
"I see!"
"Is there anything else you want to say before you leave?"
"The kid has followed the master for three years, although the master has no name for the kid, but he has the reality of the teacher, before leaving, I hope the master will accept me as an apprentice!"
"Hehe, you mentioned this requirement three years ago, the poor monk looks at your heart, the dust is quite heavy, and it is not suitable to escape into the empty door, if you want to repay the favor, you don't have to do more, acquaintance is fate, why care about the status of master and apprentice?"
"Yes, it's just that the kid doesn't know the name of the master yet, and I want to tell you. ”
"The status of a poor monk is also taboo, only talk to you alone, and you must not tell others in the future, can you do it?"
"Yes!"
"The poor monk is a monk of Buddha Mountain, and his law name is Zhichi!"
"Zhichi...... Boy, remember!"
"Let's go! At the last moment of the poor monk's life, he wants to be quiet by himself!"
"Yes!"
Qin Yu kowtowed to Huachen three times, and when he got up again, he was already in tears, for three years, Zhichi was his only relative, and he also knew that Zhichi only had three years of life, and now three years have passed, and since then, he has no relatives.
When he walked to the foot of the mountain, he only heard a grand Buddha horn from the mountain, he suddenly looked back, and saw the sky was full of auspicious clouds, and the auspicious clouds gathered into a tall and solemn Buddha statue, which was smiling and nodding to him.
"Master, you ...... Let's go!" Qin Yu prostrate himself and bowed, crying silently. Although Zhichi didn't really accept him as an apprentice, in his heart, Zhichi was his mentor.
