Chapter 48 Zhiyu
“Okay, just go back and search.”
I just glanced at Shiyi a few times, but I didn’t expect that she would lose a big living person. .
Fortunately, the firewood seller was already weak and could not run very far even if he wanted to.
Sure enough, Shiyi looked back along the way she came.
After a while, he found the pile of firewood that had been thrown away by the firewood seller at a fork in the road.
Just as he was about to follow the path where the firewood was thrown, Xu Ke helplessly stopped Shiyi.
“Isn’t this just to lay out the truth and throw the firewood on the east path to lure you away...”
Seeing that Shiyi couldn’t understand, Xu Ke had to guess on his own Aware of the other party's calculations.
What is true is true, what is true is false, what is false is true.
Maybe the firewood seller was trying to think in the opposite direction to make people think he had taken a different path.
In fact, in the final analysis, this is a game of choice.
Xu Ke sighed and asked Shiyi to take out the already restless blessing light group.
Sure enough, with the restless direction of the light group, the whereabouts of the firewood seller was naturally self-evident.
When she found the firewood seller, he was already dying and his life was not long.
Obviously, he had already aged badly and was seriously ill before.
I just forced myself to sell some firewood on the street.
Now running around like this has exhausted the last bit of his vitality.
In less than half an hour, he would die of illness in the wilderness.
Xu Ke did not ask Shiyi to come forward, but asked Ni Qianmian not far away to change into the familiar appearance of an old man with immortal style.
They came to the firewood seller who was only breathing.
"Your life is about to end, do you have any regrets during your lifetime?"
When the firewood seller was dying, he heard someone asking him, and subconsciously murmured:
"No."
"My whole life...I have lived very comfortably for myself."
Although Xu Ke didn't know what was so satisfying about living a lifetime as a firewood seller.
But I still tried my best to ask the last question:
"I can give you the body and life span that are completely different today. Are you willing to exchange your wisdom?"
A glimmer of light flashed in the firewood seller's eyes, and he hesitated for about half a cup of tea before he said:
"Okay, I want to try what it would be like not to live for myself, not to live so smartly. …”
After saying this, the firewood seller exhausted his last bit of strength and was about to die.
But Xu Ke had already sent the high-level blessing into his body in time.
As the light group integrated into his body, the Chai Seller's condition began to change rapidly.
The originally withered limbs and bloodless body quickly regained their abundant energy.
Only half an hour later, he woke up again.
Moreover, all the ailments that had been bothering him had disappeared, and he felt lighter than ever before.
The firewood seller groped every part of his body in disbelief. It didn't look like his own body at all.
Although he still looks like a skinny old man on the outside, he contains inexhaustible physical strength and strength inside.
And this power seems to be expanding and getting stronger.
He returned home in a daze and happened to see his neighbor looking for him.
"Zhisou, I forgot where I hid my house key again. Can you help me think of where it is?"
The firewood seller looked at him blankly and looked at a small iron hanging on the wooden door. Lock.
Subconsciously, he reached out and pulled...
There was a loud bang, and the iron lock was torn off.
Seeing the iron lock thrown into his hand, the neighbor was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
Is this still the frail and wise old man from before?
In the next few days, Zhisou seemed to be a completely different person.
The amount of firewood collected every day is increasing.
It can catch up with seven or eight young men. Moreover, there are always gangsters in their streets who collect money and extort money. In the past, everyone just swallowed their anger and didn't want to get into trouble.
But now those people were all sent to the hospital by Zhisou. They were all miserable with bruises and swollen faces.
But even though Zhisou seemed to have been reborn, he still did not use his abilities to do anything else.
Every day I go out early and come back late, cutting firewood outside and selling it on the street.
…………
“It’s actually a pagoda?”
After Li Sheng took Chen Tianfu and a dozen crew members ashore, he quickly saw what the building in the distance was.
It turned out to be a towering pagoda, and under the pagoda is a temple full of incense.
The plaque on the temple is inscribed 'Xiangtan Temple'.
There are four words below, the merits of sandalwood.
The temple is full of peace and harmony. The monks who come and go are all flesh and blood, not afraid of the sun, and have their own shadows.
Chen Tianfu patrolled the temple gate for a long time and did not dare to enter. Instead, he surrounded the temple in a large circle.
After confirming the environment inside the temple, we returned to the entrance of the temple.
"Brother Sheng, I have confirmed that there is no smell of blood in it, and there is nothing evil in it."
"It seems that there are just a lot of monks chanting sutras, cooking, and ringing bells. Plowing the fields..."
It's not to blame Li Sheng for being suspicious, it's just that the world is full of strange things.
In the past, they were inexperienced and rushed into the aberration inn. As a result, only two of the six brothers who escaped together survived.
This time I came out to look for supplies and a place to stay. If we encounter something strange again, it will really make things worse.
Until Chen Tianfu volunteered, he entered the temple with two more sailors, asked a few monks, and finally walked out carelessly.
After confirming that there was nothing strange about him, Chen Tianfu breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone was convinced that the temple was free to come and go and was not a scary and strange place with no entry and no exit.
So he hurriedly took the injured into the temple and asked the monks for help.
Those monks were indeed not transformed by evil spirits, and they saw a large group of injured people entering the temple.
A young monk hurriedly went to report to the abbot, while the other monks came forward to help the injured.
Feed them with water, boil pots of hot water, and spontaneously help them apply medicine to heal their injuries.
It made a group of rough guys who were just eating at sea a little excited.
I didn’t expect that this group of monks really upheld the virtue of living a good life and had such good intentions.
At this time, the abbot wearing cassocks also came out.
Kind eyebrows, kind eyes, and a peaceful aura.
Although he seemed a little anxious after seeing the injured, his steps were still steady and strong.
Obviously he is also a profound practitioner, and he probably follows the Buddhist lineage of practice.
"Excuse me, Abbot. We encountered pirates at sea and the ship's hull was damaged, so we had no choice but to come here to seek shelter."
After that, Li Sheng handed over a bag of silver that had been prepared long ago. Take it out.
"This is our incense money. It should be used to make up for our debt for disturbing your temple."
The abbot refused to accept it, and only said that it would be okay to rest in the temple.
Finally, Li Sheng asked an additional question:
"Excuse me, abbot, are there any taboos or precepts in the temple...for example, no eating meat or drinking alcohol?"
The abbot closed his eyes slightly and chanted the Buddha's name softly:
"It is easy to practice the precepts, but difficult to be vigilant. ”
“The mind of the benefactor will be happy, and the conduct of the benefactor is like sitting on pins and needles.”
Li Sheng thanked the abbot and abbot, and then led the rest of the group to find a few empty rooms to rest.
At the same time, the pirate Zhou Zhihu who was chasing him all the way also followed the traces and landed on the island from another coast.
I was attracted by the high tower on the island at first sight, and came here to check the whereabouts of Li Sheng and others...
