Chapter 138: Monk
In a country called Nantang, it is located in the south of the Shenzhou world, and the four seasons are like spring, and a hundred flowers are vibrant.
As a result of a long period of stability and prosperity, this small country has made great cultural progress, and even far surpassed some other countries.
And here, it is also a place where hundreds of schools of thought gather, and I don't know how many strange things have been born in it.
In this country, there is a very peculiar type of people, this kind of people have never appeared in the world of Shenzhou before, they wear strange clothes, shiny bald heads, and often recite obscure scriptures in their mouths, not beggars, but often begging in the city with a rice bowl, the good name: Huayuan.
These are the kind of people who were not noticed much at first, but it was not until much later that their supernatural powers gradually became known to the world.
This is a major feature of the Southern Tang Kingdom, which is not found in other countries, but the Southern Tang Kingdom has actually bred such a person as a monk, and it is indeed the creation of heaven and earth, which is extremely magical.
"Master, I would like to ask about my marriage. ”
"Do you know your own marriage?"
"I just didn't know how to ask the master. ”
"You don't know it yourself, so how can the poor monk know?"
"The master has vast powers and infinite wisdom, how can he not know the marriage of the little girl?"
"You have to know before I know. ”
"Oh, I understand the master, come, here is a small courtesy, not a respect, please smile. ”
"Master?"
"Huh?"
"Did you know?"
"Know what?"
"My marriage. ”
"I don't know. ”
"Master, you took my money. ”
"I know, three hundred taels. ”
"Then why don't you know about my marriage?"
"Does money have anything to do with marriage? Money is something you have to give, and I can't give you marriage. ”
"Dead bald donkey, you go to die!"
In the famous spot of the Southern Tang Dynasty, in the small pavilion in the Liuyin River, a gorgeously dressed. The delicate-faced woman angrily scolded an old monk, and then walked quickly out of the pavilion.
The old monk sat there all the time, and next to him, there was a fishing rod, the fishing rod line hung in the water, the lake was calm and waveless, but the fishing line was also calm and helpless.
At this moment, a woman in ragged clothes, with a thin body and a withered face, approached. At first glance, she knew that she was a person who lived an extremely poor and frugal life, and there was nothing worthy of attention on her body, but her eyes were full of hope and strength.
"What a pair of good eyes. The old monk watched as the woman sat down in front of him. muttered in his mouth.
The woman sat in front of the old monk, who had just uttered these words. She felt as if her whole person had been seen through by the old monk. The past, the future, the past and the present.
"Master, I" The woman was just about to speak, when the old monk raised his hand and signaled her not to speak.
The woman was a little cramped, and she looked at the old monk nervously.
"Do you guess if the poor monk will catch a fish today? The old monk asked the woman with a smile.
There was a hint of doubt in the woman's eyes, and she looked at the fishing line, her gaze kept down.
"Master. How can you catch a fish if you don't put your bait in the water?" said the woman.
The old monk smiled, and then said: "People don't need to force themselves, they will go into a desperate situation." Fish don't need to be baited. I'll take the bait myself. ”
The woman's eyes were full of doubts, this kind of truth was already advanced to her, and the old monk said at this time: "What do you want to ask?"
Listening to the old monk's words, the woman's expression suddenly became nervous.
"That master, I want to ask about my son's marriage. The woman said that the reason why she was nervous was because she had no money on her, and just now he saw which beautiful girl had given so much money to the old monk, and he suddenly became a little uneasy, but the son's marriage was important, and although he would be ruthlessly rejected and ridiculed, she still walked over with those contemptuous and mocking eyes behind her.
The old monk suddenly frowned and was silent, and the woman instantly became even more uneasy.
"There are thousands of marriages in the world, how can you finish saying this?" the old monk suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, "After today, I won't ask about marriage here." ”
"Let's go. The old monk waved at the woman.
The woman's face turned pale in an instant, bloodless.
She stood up tremblingly, and suddenly her face was much older.
"Wait. The old monk suddenly shouted.
The woman turned around, her beautiful eyes were a little dull and godless at this time, the old monk was her last hope, because she and her son had nothing.
"How about you take another look at my bait?" said the old monk to the woman.
The woman looked at the bait, which was not falling into the water, but was a finger's length from the surface.
But the moment the woman's gaze passed, something strange happened.
I saw a golden carp suddenly jump out of the water, bite the bait, and then, the golden carp was hung on the fishing rod, struggling in mid-air.
The woman had never seen such an astonishing thing in her life, and she felt that this monk was simply a god-man.
The monk stood up, put away the fishing rod, took off the golden carp on it, and then said, "The cause of the previous life, the fruit of today, if you have achieved this marriage, you can be reborn as a human being." ”
The woman couldn't understand the monk's words, but the golden carp in the monk's hand seemed to understand, and when it jumped in the monk's hand, the golden carp instantly jumped up and entered the vegetable basket in the woman's left hand.
"Master, your fish. The woman hurriedly wanted to catch the golden carp and return it to the monk, thinking that a poor family like her would have a good meal, where had she ever seen such a precious golden carp.
The old monk smiled slightly, stopped the woman, and said, "It's your fish." ”
The woman was stunned, and then saw the monk take out the three hundred taels of silver that the woman had given him from his bosom, put them into the woman's hand, and said, "Now go home, don't stop on the way, no matter who tells you to stop, don't look back." ”
"Why?" the woman wondered, and then looked at the silver taels in her hand a little confused, "Master, this me"
The old monk smiled and said, "If you want your son to have a good marriage, take these things and do as I say." ”
The woman's expression immediately turned solemn, "Master, when my son's marriage arrives, I will definitely return these to you." ”
"Hehe, go ahead. The old monk waved his hand, then picked up the fishing rod and took the hat with him, obviously preparing to leave.
"Master, I haven't asked yet. ”
"Master, don't go. ”
"Master, don't go. ”
"Monk, Master, Brother Monk, please don't leave yet."
"Quick, the master is going to leave by boat. ”
"Get that boat back for me. ”
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"Master, he abandoned ship. ”
"Won't the master give us a chance when he dies?"
"Look, what is the master doing?"
"Grandma's, cross the river with a reed? Master, don't go, the brothers in the cottage are still waiting for the master's guidance. ”
The old monk left, but there was a craze in the whole Liuyin City, that is, a poor woman actually caught a golden carp in the Liuyin River.
The golden carp is a legendary artifact that can prolong life and maintain beauty.
For a while, everyone flocked to frantically ask about the fisherman's residence and the situation of the fisherman.
More wealthy families sent their families to carry huge amounts of silver taels to buy, prolong their lives, and maintain their appearance, which is two difficult things for mortals.
"What?
"Quick, take me to the woman's house at once, I want to buy fish, but if it's too late, someone else will buy it. This young lady was the woman who scolded the old monk before, and she said anxiously at this time.
"That's right. There was a hint of cunning in Miss Qianjin's eyes, "Send me someone to stop all the fish buyers who go to the woman's house, and it is not okay to join in the fun, and no one is allowed to make up their minds about what Miss Ben wants." ”
"Yes, the little one knows. The subordinate went down very obediently, and with this woman's background, even if she stopped the whole city, it was just a sentence.
"Mother, what's going on?" In a dilapidated thatched hut, a young man with a pale face looked sickly, looking at the golden carp and silver taels in the vegetable basket, his face was a little surprised.
"It's the master who said your marriage is today. The woman said with a smile.
"Children are all dying people, what's the use of marriage?" the young man laughed miserably.
A trace of tears welled up in the woman's eyes, and she forcibly said, "No, now that you have this money, my mother can take you to see the best doctor." ”
"Excuse me, anyone? I'm here to buy fish. Suddenly, a woman's voice came from outside the door. (To be continued......)
