The hunter looked back at the door of the house, and then at Xie Gongbao.

Then he tightened the padded jacket that was draped over his shoulders, and said in surprise:

"There is one, why is the little brother here to look for her?"

Xie Gongbao took out a piece of silver, stepped forward and handed it to the hunter: "Yes, the little sister has been lost in this mountain for ten days, I have been looking for her, but I didn't expect to find it here in the eldest brother, the little sister is not in good health, these days thanks to the care, these silver should be a thank you gift." ”

The hunter took the money and returned it to him: "I don't want these things from the mountains. ”

After returning the silver to Xie Gongbao, he led him into the house again.

Xie Gong Baomai Gate went in and found that it was a small hall, and in the middle of the hall was a fire pit, and there was a fire burning in the fire pit. There is a door on the left and right sides of the hall, which is the bedroom. The hunter moved a bench and invited him to take a seat, and he sat down and asked, "Dare to ask the eldest brother's surname?"

The Orion smiled while stirring the fire: "My surname is Chen, you can call me Ergou." ”

Xie Gongbao pinched his head and looked at the side door: "Where is my little sister?" I want to see her." ”

Chen Ergou said: "Unfortunately, your sister is not here at this time." Hehe, don't be nervous, your sister has been very sick these days, lying in bed has not been well, when it was dark today, she suddenly fell unconscious, our brothers were worried that she couldn't stand it, this is not my eldest family, the third, the fourth took your sister to see the disease, and now there are only me and a few mothers-in-law left in the house. ”

Hearing that Fang Siwan was unconscious, Xie Gongbao couldn't sit still.

He said, "Please lead the way, I have to chase her back." ”

Chen Ergou said: "Little brother, don't panic, I know that you are not from us by looking at the outfits of you and your eldest sister, you are from the south, hehe, so you don't know that we have a sacred tree here, as long as your sister goes to the bottom of the sacred tree, if the tree blooms, then it can be regarded as saved, you are useless to worry at this time, it is better to wait for the news, besides, they have been gone for three hours, how can they catch up." ”

Xie Gongbao said: "She is my little sister, how can I not worry, please take me with my eldest brother." ”

Chen Ergou patted the ashes on his hands, got up and said, "Well, what you said makes sense, I'll take you there." ”

He agreed, and went to the back room to wake up the sleeping mother-in-law, and told her to be careful of wild beasts and watch the door. Then he put a bow and arrow on his back, picked up a machete, and went out with Xie Gongbao with the door. Walking up the mountain, Xie Gongbao said that he walked slowly and insisted on carrying him, but he was reluctant at first, and when he saw Xie Gongbao carrying him and running between the mountains, he couldn't help but be startled.

He boasted: "Little brother, your foot strength is faster than that of jackals, tigers and leopards, but it is amazing." ”

How did he know that Xie Gongbao hadn't done his best yet, so he was afraid of scaring him, and it was difficult to explain.

The two climbed two mountains to the north, then crossed two villages along the North River to the east, and finally arrived at the market town. Chen Ergou told Xie Gongbao that there was a Ciyun Nunnery five miles away from the market, and the sacred tree that would heal people grew in the Ciyun Nunnery. At that time, before dawn, the two of them went straight from the market to Ciyun Nunnery in the morning.

When they arrived at the gate of Ciyun Nunnery, Chen Ergou's three brothers had just come out of the nunnery.

The two sides converged, and Chen Ergou introduced Xie Gongbao and the three brothers to each other.

Then he asked the three brothers, "Why did you come out, eldest sister?"

Boss Chen took a long breath before saying: "This big night, the female bodhisattva of Ciyun Nunnery also wants to rest, how can she beg for mercy at will, if it weren't for the serious illness of the eldest sister, the three of us would not dare to knock on the door at this time." However, fortunately, the Bodhi Iron Tree bloomed, and the eldest sister's life should not be extinguished, and this time she was saved. ”

Chen Ergou said excitedly: "Is the Bodhi Iron Tree really blooming?"

Chen Laodao: "Yes, it was the flowers that bloomed, and the female Bodhisattva invited the three of us to come out." ”

Chen Ergou laughed: "Little brother, it's time to rest assured, your sister is fine." ”

Xie Gongbao was like a cloud, and he didn't understand at all: "What does the iron tree mean?"

Chen Ergou and the four brothers listened to his question, looked at each other and laughed, Chen Ergou explained: "The Bodhi Iron Tree is the sacred tree that I said will heal people, and more than a dozen villages within a radius of a hundred miles here rely on it. Little brother, this tree is easy not to bloom, it can only be said that your sister is blessed, and her life should not be extinguished. ”

Listening to it, Xie Gongbao still didn't know anything about it.

He is very grateful to the four Chen Ergou brothers for saving people, but Fang Siqiao's illness cannot be cured by medicinal stones, he doesn't care how great this sacred tree is, but now that the meridian rat has arrived at the Seven Star Altar, curing Fang Siqiao's illness is a matter of minutes, so why turn to a strange tree.

So he wanted to knock on the door and go in and take Fang Siqiao out.

Chen Ergou blocked the door and hurriedly shook his hand: "Little brother, I can't help it, there are female Bodhisattvas who serve the Bodhi Iron Tree, you have to be sick and urgently need treatment at night, it is understandable to knock on the door, you said that you are so loud and shouting, don't disturb the gods inside." ”

Chen Da, Chen San, and Chen Si also changed their faces and tried their best to dissuade them.

Chen Dadao: "Little brother, don't embarrass us, look, it's almost dawn, and after a while, the female Bodhisattva inside will open the door to receive pilgrims, and our brothers will wait here with you, what do you think?"

Xie Gongbao raised his head and looked at it, the sky was a little white, and he couldn't think of half an hour, this day was going to be bright, and he was not embarrassed by the four Chen Ergou brothers.

......

......

After a while, in the middle of the morning, more than 20 people came from the market one after another, these people were old and young, men and women, most of them carrying wild fruits and vegetables. These many people gathered in front of the Ciyun Nunnery, and they didn't dare to speak loudly, waiting quietly.

Xie Gongbao noticed that there was a beautiful woman in white clothes and pursed her lips at him.

The woman in white was wrapped in a white cloth on her head, which was used to shield her from the cold of the wilderness.

In the heavy snow, she was thinly dressed, but she did not show a trace of chill, which was very strange.

Looking at her age again, she is about thirty years old, but her appearance can be called peerless, even compared with Yan Xian'er, Fang Siqiao, and Zhu Ji, she is also surpassed. ——Xie Gongbao swept the face of the woman in white a few times, at first he only thought she was beautiful, but then the more he looked at it, the more familiar she became, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember?

After a while, the sky was bright, and the female bodhisattva in the nunnery got up early to open the door.

The pilgrims scrambled to the door, all trying to grab the first incense.

Xie Gongbao and Chen Ergou flashed to the side, and the pilgrims advanced.

The woman in white passed by Xie Gongbao and nodded deliberately.

Xie Gongbao said in his heart: "I smiled and nodded again, could it be that I really know her? No, she is so beautiful, if I have seen her before, why can't I remember it?" But if I haven't seen her, why do I think she is quite familiar?"

When the woman entered the door, he called Chen Ergou and the four followed.

There are hundreds of female Bodhisattvas in this Ciyun Nunnery, all of them are not standard, but the strange thing is that these female Bodhisattvas wear monk's clothes and hats, and treat people kindly, but they do not shave their heads, nor do they recite Buddha. In addition, Ciyun Nunnery does not worship either the Buddha nor the Taoist ancestor, but you can see a few toad statues in the open and in the dark, which makes people a little confused.

The pilgrims entered the main hall, and there was a statue of a god in the hall.

Everyone lit incense and kowtowed to the statue to make a wish.

But this is a statue of a goddess, riding on colorful auspicious clouds.

What is surprising is that there are five beasts engraved in the auspicious clouds: dragon, swallow, ape, rat and toad.

When Xie Gongbao saw this statue, he immediately understood that this statue was not another statue, it was the ancient god Wa Queen Niangniang, who made people out of the soil, and these five beasts were nothing else, but the Purple Scale Dragon King, the Chitose Swallow, the Intoxicating Ape, the Meridian Mouse, and the Drumser Golden Toad. But he understood this, but he couldn't understand why this idol was here.

Chen Ergou and the four brothers also went to incense, but Xie Gongbao and the woman in white remained unmoved.

After the pilgrims finished offering incense, they went to kowtow under the sacred tree in the courtyard, and then waited for the temple blessing according to the custom.

Chen Da asked the female Bodhisattva who was in charge, and the female Bodhisattva told him that the Bodhi Iron Tree had already cast the immortal method, and the girl who was sent in the evening was fine, and she would come out after a while. - Xie Gongbao listened, obviously didn't believe it, Fang Siqiao's condition was so difficult to treat, how could it be cured by an inexplicable tree?

Just as Xie Gongbao was questioning, Fang Siqiao really walked out of the back room.

Her face was bloody, her steps were powerful, and she miraculously recovered.

It's just that she wears monk's clothes and a monk's hat like the female bodhisattvas, and her clothes are a little strange.

When Xie Gongbao saw her coming, he stepped forward and shouted, "Girl, you ...... How are you doing?"

Fang Si weakly pointed to the Bodhi Iron Tree outside the patio, and said with a slight smile: "It was it that cured me." ”

Xie Gongbao was so unhappy that he turned around and bowed to the four Chen Ergou brothers, said some words of gratitude, and then grabbed Fang Siqiao's hand and said, "Since it's okay, then let's go home." But he wanted to pull Fang Siqiao away, but Fang Siqiao shook off his hand and took two steps back. Xie Gongbao squeezed the hand that was thrown away, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Fang Siqiao still smiled slightly: "I'll stay here in the future, you can go back by yourself." ”

Xie Gongbao was stunned for a moment, only to smile bitterly, and wanted to say more, but asked Chen Ergou to pull aside.

Chen Ergou, the four brothers, you look at me, I look at you, and their faces are full of guilt. Chen Ergou said softly: "Little brother, I'm sorry, we don't know how things will be, it seems that the eldest sister is determined to be a female bodhisattva, and it is useless for you to pull hard now." ”

Xie Gongbao pinched his head and looked at Fang Siqiao, and saw that she was standing calmly with several female bodhisattvas, her eyes were a little dull, and she couldn't feel her wildness in the past at all. Xie Gongbao shook his head: "This is impossible, her temperament is wild, how can she stay here." ”

Chen Ergou smiled bitterly: "Little brother doesn't know, the female bodhisattvas in Ciyun Nunnery have all been seriously ill, and they have all been cured by Bodhi Iron Tree, but I don't know why they are willing to stay here after they have recovered from their serious illness, no matter who comes to persuade them, they can't persuade them back." We thought to ourselves, maybe they escaped death and were grateful, so they refused to leave. Anyway, the eldest sister's illness is cured, and this can't be considered a bad thing. ”
