The old man led the way, followed by Wang Cunye and Yang Xuan. After walking for a while, they reached the courtyard...
The courtyard door was made of firewood, and it was an ordinary courtyard common in small villages. The old man pushed open the courtyard door and let the two pilgrims go in first. He went in last and closed the courtyard door.
You don't know what's there in the wilderness at night. Although this courtyard wall is simple, it can protect you from wild wolves and wild boars, so as to prevent your goats from being eaten.
"Old woman! A guest is coming." When he walked to the house, the old man started shouting.
The door curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged woman walked out. There were wrinkles on her face, showing her age. When she saw Wang Cunye and Yang Xuan, she immediately greeted them warmly: "It turns out that the guests have arrived. Come in quickly."
,Hey...I don’t have anything delicious to entertain you.”
The last words were spoken softly, but both of them heard them.
"It's okay. I'm going to stay here for one night, and I'm going to cause trouble to the old man's family. I really feel bad about it." The two of them entered the house and sat on the kang. Under the dim light of the oil lamp, they could see a little girl lying on the bed.
Wang Cunye smiled and said, "My granddaughter? How old is she?"
Hearing this, the old man nodded: "Well, my eldest son's daughter is five and a half years old. Unfortunately, she is not in good health. She fell ill again a few days ago..."
After saying this, the old man couldn't help but frown.
Wang Cunye took a closer look and immediately realized that the little girl's face was not rosy as usual, but rather pale and without blood. This was abnormal. She was thin and swollen, and these two conditions were indeed present in her.
At this time, she was supported by her nainai, and she didn't know what kind of medicine she was drinking. Without saying a word, she swallowed the Chinese medicine that was put into her mouth one by one.
Looking at the little girl in front of me who was struggling to drink the medicine, after taking a sip, she forced a smile and said, "Hello, uncle!"
Wang Cunye's heart sank for no reason. At this moment, a middle-aged woman brought up two large bowls of rice and a large bowl of unknown fried vegetables. The vegetables were green in color.
"The food is not good, please don't dislike it, just make do with it..." The old man said to Wang Cunye and Yang Xuan with a smile on his face when he saw the food being served.
"Come on, old man, come up and let's eat together." Yang Xuan greeted.
The old man smiled after hearing this: "You guys eat, I just ate it in the temple."
Seeing what the old man said, the two of them stopped refusing and started eating. The old man saw them eating and walked out, as did the middle-aged woman.
Halfway through eating, Yang Xuan suddenly said: "This dish... is a wild vegetable!"
Wang Cunye heard this, picked up a chopstick, tasted it carefully, and then looked at the surrounding environment: "Well, that's right, life is not easy!"
A large bowl of vegetables, all green in color and cooked very soft. They ate it in a hurry. Both of them were in the third level of human immortality and had huge appetites. Even if the food was not good, they would finish it in a short while.
The room was dark, and when Wang Cunye walked out, he saw the sky full of stars, which were particularly dazzling in the night sky.
"Old man, do you have enough to eat? I'm going to get you some."
"It's almost done. How much can a person who is about to die eat?"
Wang Cunye was pacing when he suddenly heard these words. He couldn't help being startled and looked towards the small house where the sound came from.
In the house, the oil lamp was lit and the fire was shining brightly. The old man who led the way was holding a big bowl in his left hand and a khaki-colored nest in his right hand. He was eating under the fire. After taking two bites, he picked up the bowl and drank some water.
The water in the bowl was light and colorless. Wang Cunye immediately understood that it was pure water.
"Why are you talking?" The middle-aged woman saw that the old man was talking unobtrusively, so she couldn't help but said: "Hurry up and finish your meal. After the meeting, you have to pray for your granddaughter, and after praying, you have to arrange for the guests to sleep."
This time the old man did not refute, but ate as quickly as possible. When Wang Cunye saw this, he remembered that the two of them had just eaten rice, and his expression was a little dull, but he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he stopped looking and turned back.
room.
He opened the door curtain and entered the house, only to see Yang Xuanli in front of the little girl who had taken the medicine and had fallen asleep, observing her carefully.
"Brother Yang, what is this girl's disease?" Wang Cunye asked when he saw Yang Xuan watching her carefully.
Hearing this, Yang Xuan waved his hand, signaling to speak softly and not to disturb the child's rest. He whispered: "It's very troublesome. I'm afraid the bone marrow problem cannot be cured."
Just as he was talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, the door curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged woman walked in. She smiled sheepishly: "Guests, please wait a moment. We will recite sutras and pray for our granddaughter. After we finish reciting, we will arrange for you to rest!"
Wang Cunye and Yang Xuanxiang looked at each other and said, "It doesn't matter, we'll just sit here and wait."
"That's good, you're neglecting the guests." The middle-aged woman talked a lot, the old man didn't talk much. The two kowtowed to an image and began to chant sutras.
There is nothing wrong with this scripture, it is the scripture of Empress Yuanshui. Wang Cunye saw that their postures were a little wrong and looked very funny, so he couldn't help but smile.
However, the couple recited it sincerely, and their eyes were full of gratitude. After reciting, they looked at the statue and said: "I kowtow to the empress to bless my granddaughter to recover from her illness... My granddaughter has been sick for a long time."
Oh, this kindness... I will never forget it, my empress..."
After saying this, he bowed down devoutly. At this moment, Wang Cunye stretched out his hand, grabbed it in the air, and quickly retracted it. Yang Xuan was startled and watched Wang Cunye's movements carefully.
The person opposite was still prostrating, Wang Cunye closed his eyes, and his mind sank into the sea of consciousness. He saw a trace of power suddenly hanging on the spiritual pool, and he could vaguely see a vague goddess.
The aura of this goddess was vast and vast, and she was peaceful and resting. But in the blink of an eye, she moved her body and was about to open her eyes. At this moment, the turtle shell shook violently and the black light swept away.
With a "boom", all the appearance of this power disappeared, turning into a trace of purple power. A feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar to Wang Cunye permeated the air - this was bottomless death.
The next moment, the tortoise shell twitched violently. This trace of strength only struggled for a moment and then disappeared. Wang Cunye shuddered and opened his eyes.
"What, how?" Seeing Wang Cunye open his eyes, Yang Xuan couldn't help but come over and ask.
"It's not the land, it's not the mountain god, it's not the river god, it's not the monster clan, it's not the righteous god of heaven... it's not even a low-level evil god, it's a very powerful demon king." Wang Cunye said in a low voice, this demon king is not original, in Taoism and Taoism
In the heavenly system, all divine powers that do not belong to the system are evil gods, and all powerful evil gods are demon kings. This is clearly recorded in Taoist canon.
Yang Xuan heard this and said: "Let's go out and talk!"
The two of them went out, and Wang Cunye asked, "Oh? Brother Yang, what do you think? Let me tell you."
Yang Xuan paused slightly and said: "According to my observation, although this demon king is very powerful and vast and unpredictable, there is no real body coming to this land, not even a clone, not even a complete phase.
, the divine light in front of you has no real spiritual sense at all!"
Yang Xuan said, pointing with one hand, Wang Cunye looked along his fingers, and saw a faint golden light, but it looked a bit mechanical. Wang Cunye remembered that he had just taken a piece of it, but there was no counterattack, and he realized something in his heart: "You
You mean, this is just caused by some of its aura?"
Hearing this, Yang Xuan looked at the mud wall, thinking, his squinted eyes glowing faintly: "I'm afraid they are some seeds."
Wang Cunye's eyes flashed with confusion. In this way, these things are not worthy of the Tao at all. I am afraid that even a ghost and fairy can completely eliminate them.
Thinking of this, the two of them looked at each other, murderous intent flashing in their eyes.
At the same time, the couple finished chanting sutras. Wang Cunye and Yang Xuan looked at each other and were a little surprised, because the little girl's face, which was originally pale, now had a trace of blood on her face.
At this time, the couple stood up and walked over to Wang Cunye.
"Two guests, I have kept you waiting for a long time. Come with me. I will take you to another room to rest." The old man came over and said to the two of them.
"Sorry to bother you, old man." Wang Cunye said.
The old man took the two of them out of the house, entered a house, lit an oil lamp, and said: "There are beds and mattresses here. Don't dislike it. Just spend one night and rest early!"
"Thank you!" Wang Cunye handed over his hand.
The old man paused, then turned around and walked out without stopping.
Yang Xuan stepped forward, blew out the oil lamp, touched the damp quilt, and couldn't help but smile: "We monks need to rest there, and the same goes for breath adjustment and meditation."
When Wang Cunye heard this, he smiled and said, "Great kindness!"
He was an immortal who controlled the fire and moved it inside and outside. They both sat down and adjusted their breaths carefully. After a moment, mist-like mist gradually filled the air for both of them.
At midnight, when the breath adjustment was gradually completed, both of them continued to sit. Suddenly, Yang Xuan said: "Although he is a demon king, he might actually be able to cure diseases.
"Well, it's a pity. If we really eradicate it, I'm afraid this little girl has no hope." Wang Cunye continued without any surprise.
There was silence for a while, except for a faint sigh.
There was no talking all night, and in a blink of an eye it was morning. When the first ray of sunlight shone down, the two of them came out.
"Hey, sir, you are out, want some breakfast?"
"No, hurry up and go to the city!" The two declined. Wang Cunye stepped forward, touched his arms, and very rationally let go of the banknotes and a large silver ingot worth twenty taels.
I was afraid that this would be a disaster for the family, so I only took out a piece of five taels of silver: "Don't refuse, you won't accept it. The two of us also traveled thirty miles to the town to earn money for the hotel, so you can just keep it."
The old woman was startled, with a complicated expression on her face. She then remembered that her granddaughter had patched clothes. If she had the money, how could she change into new clothes? She hadn't bought any cloth for her in two years.
Thinking of this, she hesitated for a moment, but accepted it and collected the money. The old woman muttered: "What a good person..."
Watching these two people go away from a distance.
Yang Xuan and Wang Cunye both walked briskly. There were not many people at this early morning, so they didn't mind using some body skills and walked quickly. In no time, they reached the main road.
At this time, a car passed by, so I was not in a hurry to use my martial arts to rush on. After a while, an ox cart passed by. I paid a lot of money and rode back to the city.
Along the way, both of them were in deep thought and did not speak.dd
