Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Even Shisheng himself didn't understand why he wanted to help her, because they had only just met.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have done such idle things. But he made this decision, with his character, naturally it was not for the purpose of slaying demons and eliminating demons to uphold justice, in fact, the world at that time did not have such great ambitions.
Maybe it's just because of the eyes of this little white woman, that's all, Shisheng seems to see her past self in her eyes, the one who is alone and doing something that he is not willing to do in order to satisfy himself.
He understands that loneliness, though he doesn't say it.
So he was willing to believe in this woman, this woman who was also an orphan with him.
Anyway, he didn't have much interest in the 'Glass Treasure House', and instead of going to Macheng with them tomorrow, it was better to use this time to help this girl solve things that she might not be able to solve in her lifetime. Shisheng felt that it seemed very meaningful for him to do so.
But he is not a person who likes to cause trouble to others, at this time he decided on his own, and did not want to delay everyone's trip because of this, so he took off the cloak outside the robe, and then carved a few lines of words on it with the knife he carried:
I'm going to help people get rid of demons, you can rest assured, gather in Macheng in the future, and stay in the world.
He asked Xiaobai to use the cat to send the cloak to Xiao's house, and then went on the road with Xiaobai at night.
And Xiaobai couldn't believe that she had met a person who was willing to help her, she was pure in nature, and at first she was afraid that this enthusiastic person would be implicated, but she only reacted after seeing that Shisheng had used a few methods of wind and body, and this young man was actually a demon hunter with unique skills.
So she bowed to Shisheng with gratitude, and Shisheng didn't understand why people now like to kneel so much.
But that's not the point, let's gossip until dawn, when the two of them were out of town and heading south into the mountains.
As mentioned in the previous document, this Xiaobai's hometown is a small mountain village, called Shunqin Village, and according to legend, the people there were fugitives from the fall of Qin in the early years, and they fled to the mountains to escape the world.
And along the way, Shisheng wanted to know more about the demon monk so that he could prescribe the right medicine at that time, so he asked Xiaobai what the demon monk was from, and what methods did he usually have?
Xiaobai said to the world: When the monk came, he said that he came from the east, and when he begged for rain, he had to lie on the altar as if he was dead, and every time he had to lie on the half-pillar of incense, and when the rain stopped, he would get up and turn the prayer wheel, and he was usually no different from ordinary monks, but in the past half a year, the people in the village have treated him like a god, and he himself can't be busy, so he didn't know where to find an apprentice to help take care of a qiē.
"Then does his apprentice also eat people?" Shisheng asked.
It seems that this monk must be a monster, there are two of them, one large and one small.
Xiao Bai nodded, and then said: "Yes, his apprentice's face is terrifying, his eyes are sneaky, every time I steal money back, I have to count it for him, and then he is willing to let my uncles and aunts go, and don't let them go to 'Bliss'." But he wants more and more money, if it weren't for the appearance of Big Brother Shisheng, I really don't know how long I could last. ”
After saying this, she looked at Shisheng with a grateful face, which made Shisheng suddenly feel a little embarrassed, and saw that this little white tears were about to come out again, so Shisheng coughed hurriedly, and then said: "I said that I don't need to thank you, how do you say that sentence? Hmm, for the heavens, the Tao, the Tao is natural............ Right, so that's natural, as it should be. ”
Xiaobai listened to his interesting words, so she was diverted, and she asked Shisheng: "What kind of Taoism is natural, who said this?"
"My master on the mountain said it. I saw Shisheng smile, then squinted his eyes and poked his nose with his hand, and then said to Xiaobai: "He probably looks like this, drinking and singing every day, haha." ”
After speaking, Shisheng told Xiaobai about his life in Doumiguan, Xiaobai seemed to can't believe that there is still this kind of fairyland in this world, so that he can listen to it, when she heard the monkey called the crane Taoist, she giggled, and then said to Shisheng: "It's funny, monkeys are monkeys, why are they called cranes?" But what you said is really good here, I really want to go and see it." ”
"Yes. Shisheng said, "When we find what we are looking for, I will take you up the mountain, my master is very good, and he will definitely like you very much." ”
Xiaobai lowered his head, sighed, and then said: "Besides, I really can't do without my uncles, although they don't like me now, but I can't ignore them............ Here I am, Brother Shisheng, that is my hometown. ”
While speaking, I saw Xiaobai stretch out his hand to point, Shisheng looked in the direction of her finger, but saw a little smoke rising in the mountains, it should be a small village.
At this time, it was already afternoon, when Shisheng followed this Xiaobai to this village, but there were not many people in this village, Xiaobai said that there were many people here before, but since the monk came, there have been fewer and fewer, they only rely on the only little food and the food she stole back to survive, and when they are hungry, they will chant the scriptures, hoping that 'luck' can come to them as soon as possible, and they can enter the wall of the temple as soon as possible and ascend to 'Bliss'.
The more he thought about it, the more helpless he became, and at this moment, he saw an old man dressed in tatters walking by at the entrance of the village, this old man was skinny, his eyes were sunken inward, obviously hungry, he twisted the Buddha beads while walking, and Xiaobai saw this scene, hurriedly took out a wheat cake from his bag and stepped forward to support the old man and said: "Uncle Tian, I'm coming back late, you can eat something quickly." ”
After the old man saw Xiaobai, he took the wheat cake and scolded her: "Dead girl, what are you always running out of? It's because you don't believe in Buddhism that the Buddha won't pick me up, eat and eat, what's the use of me eating this cake? If you are full today, you will not be hungry tomorrow? How can you go to Elysium? Amitabha Buddha Amitabha. ”
Xiaobai saw the old man scolding her, and he didn't say anything, just begged him to eat something, and the old man took the cake and ate it while walking, and chanted the Buddha at the same time.
The people in the village were like this old man, and they saw them either holding scriptures in their hands or turning prayer cylinders, as if this was the only way to reach Elysium.
Shisheng shook his head, thinking in his heart what kind of disciple is this believing in Buddhism? You must know that the Buddha is not such a way to cross the common people?
For some reason, the actions of these people reminded Shisheng of the people in his hometown, who braved the wind and snow to worship the Bodhisattva in the ruined temple on the mountain, but they didn't know why. Good people also worship Buddha, and wicked people worship Buddha, because they don't understand the purpose of worshipping Buddha. Blindly asking, blindly fantasizing, but I never want to change anything from myself.
Thinking of this, Shisheng sighed: "What's the use of being so pious? Even though the Spirit Mountain is right in front of you, you have to rely on your own two legs to walk over." ”
These words were said to him by his monk master. Shisheng vaguely remembers that the monk once told him: Most people in the world worship Buddha, most of them don't know the meaning of the Buddha, but they are just blind and useless.
Shisheng was young at the time and didn't know the meaning of these words, but when he remembered it again, he already had a different feeling in his heart. Yes, although a Buddha is good, everyone wants to become a Buddha, so everyone has Buddha nature in their hearts. Everyone can be a Buddha, because Buddha nature is good nature, and if the heart is not good, then what is the use of believing in Buddha?
Damn youkai.
When he saw such a scene, he was inexplicably angry in his heart, and he was annoyed that these monsters followed the banner of Buddhism to blind sentient beings and kill people under the guise of goodness, which was far worse than those who directly committed evil!
Thinking of this, he said to the little white: "Don't say goodbye to the cake first, take me to the temple." ”
Xiaobai nodded, and then led Shisheng towards the back of the village.
The temple was built on a vacant lot at the back of the village, and a large incense burner in front of the temple was filled with smoke, but in the midst of this fragrance, Shisheng smelled a smell of blood.
Shisheng frowned, did not speak, but walked into the mountain gate with Xiaobai.
At this time, the temple was full of villagers, and they knelt in front of the temple one by one and bowed, accompanied by an old monk to chant sutras.
"That's him. Xiaobai whispered to the world.
Xiaobai's voice trembled a little, and Shisheng nodded. The thin old monk also appeared at this time, only to see him raise his head, and then said to Xiaobai with some vigilance: "Why did you come back at this time, who is this person?"
