Chapter 49:
"Da da da da," the black donkey's hooves kept tapping on the hard road, constantly emitting a clear ringing sound.
The others, who looked a little panicked, followed the donkey cart and trotted along.
As they walked, they also looked backward from time to time, as if they were afraid of what was catching up with them.
"Senior Brother Li, why are we rushing out of the gate?" Dogua, who was wiping sweat with his hands, asked.
"Since Zhengde Temple has been able to open in the downtown area for so long and is still so crowded, why do you think we need to get out?" Li Huowang's face was terribly gloomy.
Hearing Li Huo Wang's rhetorical question, the black-haired Xiao Man spoke, "Since Zheng De Temple can be located in the same city as the Imperial Palace and has been able to remain peaceful for so long that already speaks volumes. Regardless of whether those in power in Xijing City are complicit or infiltrated by them, the officials here cannot be trusted either."
Li Huowang nodded.
It was still reasonable for an ordinary person like him to be cheated, to say that all the power hierarchies of such a large country had all been cheated, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death, they must have had some unseemly dealings.
"Anyway, this place we also stayed enough, the last words also all sent to Zhao Wu, we originally the next step was originally also to get out of the gate."
"Scratch that," a map was laid on the donkey cart by Li Huowang.
The map that could not be bought anywhere else was finally found in Xijing City, even if it was still very rough.
Li Huowang's fingertips slowly slid on the map, drawing a route for the rest of the journey.
Spanning the three countries of Four Qi, Hou Shu, and Xia, the final destination was Bai Lingmiao's hometown, Liang.
"Well, go to our place, we don't have such horrible monks there, the monks in our place are all very kind."
Hearing Bai Lingmiao's words, Li Huowang looked up at her before looking back at the map.
To be honest, he didn't believe anyone right now, he couldn't tell right now if the monks in Bai Lingmiao's words were really kind, or if they were just as much of a blindfold.
Such a group of ordinary mortals like himself were too passive when faced with these inscrutable ones.
They kept walking like this, until it was almost dark, until they couldn't walk anymore at all before they stopped to rest.
Li Huowang looked at the campfire in front of him, his heart was a little anxious, the speed was just too slow.
To be honest, he is not short of silver now, if he can't, he will pawn that jade pendant, it should also be able to let people have a horse each.
But the problem was, these people of theirs didn't know how to ride a horse at all.
"Walking like this won't work, we can't take the main road, it's too easy to be chased, we'll drill through the forest after dinner later."
"Senior brother Li, your noodles, we have to rush next, I put in a lot of lard, top hungry."
A bowl of steaming noodles was brought to Li Huowang, dots of meat froth sinking up and down in it.
Sitting quietly watching Li Huowang gulping down the noodles, Bai Lingmiao rested her head on her knees and said, "Since the monks of this Zhengde Temple are not good people, what are you going to do, Senior Brother Li? Do you have to find a monk? How about a nun?"
Swallowing the noodles in his mouth with force, Li Huowang held the bowl and gently blew after rustling a large mouthful of noodle soup.
"It's fine, small trouble, compared to those monks who are chasing after them, these things are not called trouble at all."
Since the monk had lied to himself, then all the words he had said before had to be put under a question mark.
Maybe they couldn't solve Danyangzi at all, or maybe Danyangzi wasn't what they said at all.
The Danyangzi that might or might not exist could be put on the back burner and solved later.
"Is there not enough noodles? Not enough for me to serve you some more? There's more in the pot."
Li Huowang shook his head, handed the bowl to Bai Lingmiao, stood up and walked over to the fool, standing on his tiptoes and slapping his hand on his big bald head. "Go, don't eat, come along with me to the forest to let the water out."
"Oh ......"
In the small forest, Li Huowang stood side by side with the big fool, fertilizing the small tree in front of him.
Twisting his head first and then glancing at the campfire pile behind him, Li Huowang whispered something to him.
As night fell, the temple began to close inside the Zhengde Temple.
One after another, all the monks began their evening classes, and the entire temple was filled with the sounds of subdued chanting.
Jian Chaos walked unhurriedly inside the temple with his right hand spinning the Buddha beads in front of him and his left hand clenching his fist behind him.
Soon he arrived inside the Five Buddhas Hall and saw the Abbot inside the hall, who was concentrating on threading the Buddha beads.
"Abbot, just now I went to check and found that Scholar Xuan Yang had left."
Abbot Xinhui, who was sitting with his legs crossed on a futon, lifted the Buddha bead in the water and suspended it into the air to check.
After a half a second, he placed the Buddha beads in the water on the ground and picked up a baby from the cradle on the side.
"Ai, poor thing, if we hadn't found it early, you would have been drowned by your father." He held this baby girl and gently coaxed her.
"Abbot, Scholar Xuan Yang is gone."
"Lao Di hasn't gone deaf yet, no need to be so loud, beware of disturbing the child, knock."
"Ta Ta Ta Ta ~" the sound of wooden fish knocking around rang out, the entire Five Buddha Hall solemnized.
Xinhui carefully placed the child on the ground, un, gently wrapped the freshly made Buddha beads around her body.
Immediately afterward, accompanied by the sound of wooden fish, Xinhui began to recite in a low voice, reciting not not the Buddhist scriptures, but something else.
"The moon hides the Jade Rabbit ~ the sun hides the crow ai ~ owns the turtle and the snake ~ phase coiled together ai ~"
As the chanting sounded, the Buddha beads on that baby's body began to tighten as if they were alive.
Feeling the pain, the baby instinctively struggled and began to cry out, but his voice could not suppress the sound of the wooden fish one by one.
"The phase disk is knotted, the life is firm, but it can grow golden lotus in the fire ai~"
Buddha beads gradually into the flesh and blood, if ordinary children would have long lost their lives on the spot, but now she still cried and cried with a lot of energy.
Xinhui pinched her hands into lotus seals and fiercely pointed at the bloodied child.
The cries gradually turned into laughter, and the laughter grew louder and louder, so loud that even the corners of the mouth of those five giant Buddhas in the temple rose.
"Save the clusters of the five elements upside down with ai~, the work is finished along with being a Buddha and an immortal~."
Wooden fish sound gradually weakened, a heartbroken face of the abbot hands holding the child's head gently plucked.
The sharp-eyed Jian Chaos hurriedly walked a few steps quickly, lifting up a vase that had already been prepared to the side and sending it to Xin Hui's side.
Xinhui, like planting vegetables, planted the laughing baby girl in her hands in the vase full of red water, and a new vase girl was made.
After doing this, Xinhui, who was sitting in a cross-legged position, picked up a thread again and started threading the Buddha beads.
"Since it's gone, then you should go and chase it back."
"Yes, disciple obeys."
"Be careful, although that kid is ignorant of everything, his potential should not be underestimated."
"Danyangzi, this thief is nothing else but lucky, I don't know where he found such a rare Heart Soul."
