Chapter 17: Dreams
The night is quiet.
Liu Bai in the room stopped practicing, and a sense of sleepiness suddenly came to his heart, which made him extremely surprised, with his cultivation, he no longer needed to sleep, but at this moment, sleepiness came extremely strangely.
This sleepiness became stronger and stronger, until Liu Bai couldn't hold on anymore, and he fell asleep on the bed.
The sky gradually brightened, and a rooster crow suddenly woke up the sleeping Liu Bai, at this moment Liu Bai looked sluggish, and couldn't believe that he had a dream.
Everything came too strangely, the dream was blurred until this moment, and many contents were missing, but I vaguely remembered that I had appeared in a vast country, and the whole country believed in Buddhism, and every household lived in a fixed mode of getting up, chanting scriptures, working, fasting, chanting scriptures, and sleeping.
Even more terrifying, he vaguely remembered that the kingdom was built in the center of a huge palm, as if it was like the Buddha kingdom in his palm, but the shock in it made him indescribable.
After Liu Bai eased the panic in his heart, he returned to a calm state again, and after getting up, he left the house.
At this time, although the sky had just dawned, a large number of residents had already gathered outside the house, and in the battle last night, they already knew that the fear of death that had haunted their hearts for months had finally disappeared, and everyone spontaneously came to the hut, waiting for Liu Bai to come out, their eyes were full of gratitude, and even a little admiration.
"Come out, master come out!" Seeing Liu Bai walking out of the house, I don't know which resident shouted loudly.
"Master, thank you for everything!"
"Master, you are really a bodhisattva who saves suffering!"
In the crowd, I thanked him, praised him, and even worshiped and believed in him.
Liu Bai, who walked out of the door, was also slightly stunned, he didn't know what to say for a while, and even wanted to complain a few words, but he couldn't find words, so he had to look at the crowd around him with a smile.
"Okay, okay, you all disperse, I still have something to ask the master. Not far away, the mayor of the town, Lu Yuanqing, rushed over with a few family members, and when he saw Liu Bai who was surrounded, he hurriedly called everyone away and invited Liu Bai to the mayor's mansion.
Coming out of the mayor's mansion, Liu Bai has an extra burden on his body, which has some entanglements given by the mayor, although Liu Bai doesn't want it, but after thinking about it, anyway, he goes out to eat and stay, or needs to change his monk's clothes, but he still needs some money, and at the same time, it can be regarded as giving the mayor a peace of mind.
In the mansion, Liu Bai briefly talked about the fighting process and the departure of the two Taoist leaders.
Lu Yuanqing on the side listened to it with a yearning in his heart, and regretted that he didn't take the jade pendant to the master to practice earlier, but unfortunately he already had a family at that time, that is, his daughters had already been born, and the family affection was difficult to give up, so now he has to regret it.
It revealed that he wanted to learn Buddhism from Liu Bai, but Liu Bai did not agree, he also knew that the Dharma should not be passed on lightly.
Lu Yuanqing didn't insist, holding the mind that he could get the best, and it didn't matter if he couldn't.
Leaving the mayor's mansion, Liu Bai went to the tailor in the town to buy two monk's robes, firstly, he always felt uncomfortable wearing fox skin, and secondly, the previous battle also damaged the fox fur.
However, when the tailor saw Liu Bai buying clothes in the past, he insisted on refusing to charge the slightest silver tael, and the gratitude and adoration in his eyes flowed out, if Liu Bai was not dressed as a monk, he would have almost introduced his daughter to him.
This tailor's craftsmanship is excellent, and after a simple measurement of Liu Bai's figure, he began to make it with his wife and daughter, and even completed two monk's robes in less than an hour, each of which is made of the best materials.
Liu Bai put on one of the gray monk's robes, and felt much more comfortable in his heart. In the end, Liu Bai still left some silver taels and left the town.
Leaving the town, Liu Bai went all the way north, with the support of the Buddha Yuan on the road, the second layer of the Ruyi change was practiced in less than a month, at this moment Liu Bai has Ruyi mana in every inch of muscle and skin, it is this mana that changes his body, so that he has the important feeling of being a human again, even if he relies on the illusory mana to change, but he can still clearly feel that he is still controlling the white tiger, until the Ruyi becomes a real master, at this time that the feeling disappears.
Heading north, there is a big city, which is a very famous town in the Great Departure Country, Guiwu City.
Guiwu City not only covers a vast area, but also has a Huai River through the city, this Huai River is 300 miles long, and the upstream birthplace is even outside the Great Departure Country.
Entering Guiwu City, Liu Bai finally saw the big towns of this world, which were wider than the Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou capitals in the previous life, with exquisite and elegant buildings, as well as those multi-story buildings, although they were not as good as modern skyscrapers, but they also stood out in the city.
Walking on the wide streets, there is an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going, and horse-drawn carriages pass by from time to time, but fortunately, the road is wide and does not seem crowded.
The shouting on both sides of the street, the shouting and shouting come and go, and the Huaihe River ten-mile long street, is the first gold cave in the Wucheng City, where the green buildings stand on both sides of the Huai River, here is the gentle township of the literati and ink writers, is the first choice for the gathering of talents, and there are countless poems and songs that are inscribed on thousands of families here.
There are two very prestigious temples in the city of Guiwu, the Daling Temple in the north of the city, the Luoxia Temple in the west of the city, the incense of these two temples is extremely prosperous, among them, the Daling Temple is the golden body of the Buddha, and the Luoxia Temple is the Guanzi Bodhisattva who is offered.
Liu Bai walked all the way and came to the mountain gate of Daling Temple, he wanted to rest here for a while, but he was stopped by two little monks in front of the temple gate, after Liu Bai explained, a middle-aged monk came out, looked at Liu Bai with contempt, and blasted him out without waiting for Liu Bai to explain more.
However, Liu Bai was in a very good mood, he patted his sleeves and left the Daling Temple, and he didn't go to Luoxia Temple again, anyway, there was a lot of money in the bag, and it was okay to stay in an inn.
"This master, are you staying in a hotel or eating?" Seeing Liu Bai walking towards the inn, the shopkeeper at the door hurriedly greeted him and asked with a smile on his face.
"Bring me a room! Walking into the door of the inn, Liu Bai said directly.
"Okay, master, one ordinary room, one meal, master, please. The shopkeeper on the road shouted loudly while guiding Liu Bai upstairs.
Entering the room, Liu Bai was quite satisfied with the environment, sitting on the chair, and seeing that the shopkeeper was still looking at him with a smile on his face.
"How much is it in total?" Liu Bai was naturally stupid from time to time, and he could see what the shopkeeper meant, so he asked.
"Master, a total of five pieces of silver. The master will not hide from you, our small shop is definitely a good and cheap existence in this Guiwu City, whether it is accommodation or meals, it is much cheaper than other inns and restaurants, you have come to the right place. The shopkeeper smiled, and began to talk about the advantages of the inn.
While listening, Liu Bai took out an ingot of five taels of silver from his baggage and handed it to the shopkeeper, saying, "I'll stay for ten days first, the rest of the money is the food money, if it is less by then, you will come and ask for it again." ”
"Okay, master, then I won't bother, I'll go and serve you food. The second little boy of the shop saw Liu Bai take out five taels of silver at one time, and the smile on his face became a little brighter, he took the silver and hurriedly walked out.
After a while, the shopkeeper came up with five dishes, which were beautifully made, Liu Bai tasted them, and the taste was really good.
After eating the food, Liu Bai sat cross-legged on the bed and continued to practice, but in the dead of night, the sleepiness that had not come for a long time came again.
Once again, Liu Bai fell into a deep sleep.
