Chapter 9: The Old Pawn Walks Together
Su Heng and the monk used the last bit of silver to buy some dry food and continued on the road, the monk said that he had to rush to Jushou as soon as possible, otherwise the time to lecture would not be enough, Su Heng would be simpler, if he didn't get to Jushou, who would he go to study with? How could he become the first in the world?
In the past few days, Su Heng and the monk have been discussing some more profound issues, such as soul and reincarnation, the monk has been familiar with Buddhist scriptures since he was a child, and his knowledge is extraordinary, and he always says something that makes Su Heng stunned.
"I said monk, why don't I learn from you, what else do you need to run? You give me a lecture, and I want to learn from you, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
"This is not good, if the master knows that I am lazy, he will definitely knock me on the head with a demon pestle. ”
"Didn't you say that when cultivating the Buddha, you should abstain from anger and hatred? How can your master still do it?"
"The master said that the Buddha also has times of anger, so there is the Ming King Buddha, who is in charge of the Buddha's anger. "The monk folded his hands, and when he mentioned the master, he always subconsciously bowed to the western Mt. Landa.
Su Heng disagreed, "The Buddha said that there are six reincarnations, but why is there no reincarnation in this heaven and earth now?
This question is difficult for monks to answer, because there is indeed no reincarnation in the world, and after death, the soul of a person must be burned by karmic fire, and the very small part of the remaining part has to fly over thousands of rivers and mountains, out of the eastern earth, and beyond the Western Regions, in order to reach the ghost prison and become a member of the ghosts. But even so, he lost his memory and started all over again, so is this considered reincarnation? Even his master didn't make it clear.
"Maybe reincarnation exists, but it hasn't been opened up yet. The monk was not convinced, so he was a little unconfident.
Su Heng didn't care about this, he actually cared more about the help of these souls to him, after a normal person died, his soul would be completely burned to ashes after seven days, and the soul of those bandits was burned by his soul fire after the death of those bandits last time, and he actually helped him practice, which was more attractive to Su Heng.
"You say, is there any difference between the soul of an ordinary person and the soul of a strong person?"
"The master said that the soul of ordinary people is too weak and can only hold on for seven days, while the soul of a strong person can hold on for a longer time. He once had a guess that if everyone became strong, maybe they could go to the ghost prison after death and turn into a ghost, and then the ghost prison would become a real hell of the underworld, and reincarnation might be able to make up for it......" When the monk said this, he looked very excited, he felt that the master was a real Buddha with great aspirations.
Su Heng pursed his lips and did not continue to answer, faintly he felt that the soul of the strong seemed to be more able to help him practice, and the nameless heart method could help open the acupuncture points in the body, which could not be opened overnight, I am afraid that even those top masters who have entered the grade may not be able to open them all, if he can use the soul to cultivate, maybe he can step into that mysterious realm in his lifetime.
The two of them left the town and continued eastward.
There were not many people on the road from the town to the county seat, only three or two hawkers hurried on the road to sell some local products to the county seat.
Suddenly, a rapid sound of the royal horse came from the front, and the earth seemed to be shaken at once, "Ho! ho!" A terrifying iron-blooded murderous aura surged from the front of the road, and the hawker had already panicked and drove the cart away from the official road.
Su Heng stopped his steps and grabbed the monk, but before the monk could react, he was taken out of the official road.
"Why are you pulling me?" the monk was puzzled, "Isn't it just a few fast horses?
"This is the arrow envoy of the Chu Order, and he has the power to kill those who stand in his way. "Su Heng is very familiar with the army structure of Lichu, and before leaving Beiji, Lao Tietou listed every army and some special troops in Lichu, for fear that Su Heng would not know.
Of course, Su Heng almost heard a sentence from beginning to end, "Except for the Beiji Liberation Battalion, the others are all local chickens and dogs, and they are vulnerable." ”
The monk was shocked by Su Heng's words, "What power does this arrow envoy have to dare to kill people at will?"
"It's not about killing people at will, it's about killing people who can get in their way. Su Heng corrected the monk's mistake, "The appearance of the arrow envoy means that something important has happened in the imperial court, and the arrow envoy is the messenger who spreads the entire dynasty, if anyone stops it, it is like treason, and it can naturally be killed." ”
The monk sighed for a while, after walking out of Landa Mountain, his world seemed to be undergoing some changes, the people outside were not as tranquil as in the mountains, but there was a deep sense of violence, whether it was ordinary people or the imperial court, they seemed to advocate force, and the savage around him was even more so, he could kill people without saying a word, and even the souls of the dead had to be snooped.
Seven or eight fast horses roared along the official road, raising a large wave of dust, and the murderous aura spread like a tide.
The Arrow Envoy did not enter the town, but galloped towards the next post station, where there were new fast horses and a group of servants waiting for their orders.
Su Heng and the monk walked for a while, and an old man fell to the ground in front of him, and the monk hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man who looked embarrassed.
But as soon as he touched this person, the monk's hand quickly retracted as if it had been burned by fire.
"What's going on?" Su Heng stepped forward, and the monk's reaction was too strange. The person in front of him had gray hair, a somewhat rickety figure, and even his eyes were a little yellow, he was completely an ordinary old man on the street, but it was such an old man who made the monk shocked, completely unimaginable.
"This donor ......"
"Two little dolls, you better leave quickly, or disaster may befall you. The old man waved his hand, his voice low and vicissitudes, as if penetrating time, with a special charm.
Su Heng pulled the monk and prepared to leave, the person in front of him was very wrong, so it was better not to provoke him.
Suddenly the old man's eyes fell on Su Heng's face, as well as the thin horse led by Su Heng, the old man's expression changed instantly, he slowly got up, walked to Su Heng, stared carefully, and then walked to the back of the thin horse's right leg, brushed off the curly brown hair, and saw the mark on the skin and flesh that belonged to the Beiji Liberation Battalion.
The old man took a deep breath and looked at Su Heng, who was a little inexplicable, "Where is the little brother from?"
"I don't know what's going on with the old man?" Su Heng took a step back, and the hand hidden in his sleeve instantly grasped the body of the spear.
The monk also sensed that something was wrong, he just wanted to help, but he didn't expect that a random roadside old man would be so powerful, and the anger hidden in his body was simply a demon.
"You don't have to guard against me, if I want to make a move, even if you all have the strength of a first-class master, you can't hold two breaths. The old man looked at Su Heng, "I just want to know if the little brother is from the north?"
"North, old man, are you talking about the Junshang Dynasty in the north?" Su Heng continued to pretend to be stupid.
The old man shook his head, "Little brother, you misunderstood what I meant, what I said was whether you are from Beiji, or are you a soldier of the Beiji Liberation Battalion?"
"You!?" Su Heng's eyes widened instantly, coming out of Beiji and being a soldier of the disarming battalion, these are two completely different concepts! How did this old man know?
The old man looked at Su Heng, "I don't have any malicious intent." Beiji is taboo in the whole of Lichu! Little old man, I won't joke about this. ”
"Is the little brother's surname Su?"
The old man's second question made Su Heng's heart twitch fiercely, who is this old man? Why do you know this? Could it be that there are really immortals in this world, who can be unpredictable?
When the old man saw Su Heng's expression, he instantly understood, his eyes were burning, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
"Is the little brother going to Jushou?"
At this time, even the monk was shocked, could this old man be a reincarnated living Buddha? How could he know everything?
Su Heng was even more shocked at this time, this old man was so evil, he had the illusion of being seen through his fate!
