The master doesn't want the monk to say

Chapter 8

When he arrived at the foot of Mount Bian, Alai still didn't quite believe Hua Suo's words. After all, it was said that it was a banyan tree, not some unknown wild peach.

"Bian Mountain is so big, we can't find it all the way to the east." The verdant mountains stretching for more than a thousand miles are majestic and majestic, with dense forests. A Lai sighed and tried to ask, "How about we go back first and do it later?" Intend?"

Chi Ruo shook his head, his eyes were firm, "I believe her."

Alai had no choice but to say, "She is not an ordinary prostitute, but she can give you this! Do you still trust her so much?" Alai stretched out his hand, took out the token from Chiruo's arms, and held it in front of Chiruo's eyes.

Chiruo couldn't react in time, took a step back, stood still, and took back the token, "I know."

After walking for a while, Chiruo thought over and over again, and finally said: "Why don't you, Alai, stop following me, Chiruo is grateful for the help along the way, if there is really anything to do here..."

"Is there really any way I can let you go alone?" A Lai interrupted him, "Don't say that there are some things, I will protect you, of course I won't let you have any accidents!"

"En." Chiruo said no more, he was already very grateful to Ah Lai in his heart, but he didn't know how to repay him.

As he walked, Alai found a small path. Although it was autumn, the weeds were still extremely lush, and the path was almost blocked.

Alai stood at the intersection and looked in. The dense forest was deep and the weeds were luxuriant. He really didn't know where he was going.

"I said, Monk, do you really want to find the owner of the hosta?" Alai said, "Maybe, maybe its owner doesn't want to be found that much?"

When he turned his head, Chi Ruo had already stepped onto the path with a serious face.

"Stupid monk, no one walks this road at all!" A Lai chased after him, and the foot of Bian Mountain was already deserted, but this road as a road has no human footprints, so this road exists The meaning is gone.

Chi Ruo didn't even look back, "No one comes here, but there is a road here, don't you think it's strange?"

A Lai was stunned for a moment, then turned to say: "When I said that no one came here, I mean those people from the old man's pavilion have never walked here!"

Chi Ruo thought about it, "Since the people in the Old Man's Pavilion are so powerful, they don't even need to go this way."

Ah Lai didn't expect that Chiruo would answer him like this, some children would talk back to him when they grow up.Chiruo stopped, with some comfort in his tone unconsciously, "Anyway, it's only five miles away, let's try to walk, if it doesn't work, just turn back."

That's the only way, Alai nodded and followed.

Both of them walked fairly quickly, and when the wild peach tree appeared, Chi Ruo almost missed it because he was too focused on his feet.

"Hey, why is the stupid monk still rushing forward!" A Lai quickly called to him, "Isn't this just a peach tree!"

In fact, Chiruo couldn't tell the difference between peach trees.

But there was indeed a hollow in the middle of the tree, just big enough for a grown man's hand to fit in.

"Put the token into the tree hole, and the next day, go under the wild peach, and someone will pick it up." Hua Suo said so.

If Chi Ruo didn't think about whether putting the token in by himself was just a scam or something else, in short, it couldn't be something like the real Pavilion of the Past, so he just put the token in.

He has just arrived in the human world, and it is already very difficult to find someone who has passed away or entered reincarnation in the vast crowd. He has the basic needs of eating, drinking and drinking like ordinary people, and it is even more difficult to survive like this.

But thinking of Concubine Jing's smiling face before she stepped into the void, and her eyes drooping, he wanted to really figure out what all this was for.

Concubine Jing, why is she?

What is Jizo doing for him?

Buddha said: If there is a cause, there must be an effect, and if there is an effect, there must be a cause.

Every result is not accidental or coincidental, there is a definite number in the dark, and every small factor in the dark will inevitably contribute to a result, which is both a result and a factor, and the cycle goes on and on.Since practicing Buddhism, everyone has told themselves that with a Buddha heart, they will not be disturbed by evil spirits, and it will be of great benefit in practicing Zen and enlightening the Tao.

But now I am in the mortal world, what about the Buddha's heart, what should be caused must bear fruit, how can I escape?

"Let's go, come back tomorrow." Chi Ruo stroked the gnarled trunk, this wild peach tree has been here for an unknown number of years.

This mountain is full of aura, and there should be a lot of cultivators such as spirits and monsters. I think the mountain god is a virtuous person.

……

On the next day, Chiruo and Alai arrived under the wild peach on time.

A Lai touched the tree hole, "It's gone."

If the token is gone, it means that someone has taken it away, and Alai's expression was a little complicated for a while.

Chi Ruo was waiting at the side, and suddenly felt that the moonlight was very bright tonight. He looked up, and saw a white jade plate hanging on the treetops, the sky was cloudless, and there was a kind of clear beauty.

"I thought we wouldn't be able to see the moon tonight." A Lai also raised his head following Chi Ruo's gaze and murmured.

During the day, it was raining heavily in autumn, and it didn't stop until night. Most people didn't get to enjoy the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he and Chiruo, who were nocturnal, saw enough of the moonlight.

"Ah!"

Alai turned his head, and Chiruo sneezed, trembling like a kitten shaking its fur, his nostrils shrank.

"What?" Alai hurriedly stretched out his hand to touch Chiruo's forehead, the heat had already exceeded the normal temperature, he was a little anxious, "Sure enough, it's burning again!"

After an autumn rain and a cold day, yesterday and today the two of them had dinner and spent all the money that A Lai could barely break with one hand.

The two of them also thought that they were both people who could cover the sky and sleep on the pillow and sit on the ground, so they didn't go to the hotel to stay in the hotel, and just found a place to shelter from the rain so that they could sleep. How could they sleep until midnight? When it rained, although the eaves could keep out the rain, they couldn't keep out the wind. The wind carried the rain in and soaked the clothes of the two of them in a short while.

Chi Ruo, without the monk's robe, was dressed in thin clothes, but Alai was in good health. Except for some malnutrition, he had never had typhoid fever. The two were crowded together, and Alai tried his best to turn himself sideways to keep out the rain. But Chi Ruo turned it inside, and slept outside to protect Alai from the rain.

Alai struggled for a while, but he couldn't move, so he managed to make Chiruo open his eyes with some skill.

"It doesn't matter, wait until you are taller and stronger than me before you come to protect me from the rain." Chiruo said so.

No matter how mature A Lai is, no matter how grown-up his mind is, he is still just a 12-year-old child after all...

A Lai struggled restlessly, and Chi Ruo hugged him even tighter, "Besides, you're still a green ass!"

A Lai: "..." It just hit the sore spot.

Alai raised his eyes and saw Chiruo's peach blossom eyes, which contained inborn affection, but in Chiruo's body, there was a compassion of compassion.

Looking around, I saw that the eaves began to drip continuously, and the night like thick ink completely blocked the moonlight on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Alai closed his eyes, the warmth of Chiruo's embrace made him feel at ease like never before.

Today was also spent in the autumn rain all day long, Chi Ruo seemed to be out of spirits, his eyes that had been clear since morning were a little cloudy, and his complexion was a little abnormally rosy.

A Lai had never had a cold, but he had only seen it, but he was not sure, so he had to use the last sum of money, and it was a penny, and he hired a doctor sitting by the roadside to ask him.

After asking, I found out that Chi Ruo was really weak and suffering from a cold.The doctor saw that the two of them were really pitiful, so he accepted the pitiful penny and prescribed a prescription.

"The prescriptions are full of common medicines. You can find some by yourself, but if you want to use the prepared ones, you have to go to the pharmacy to buy them." The doctor ordered.

Without money, and having to buy medicine for Chiruo, Alai can only start his old business in Ruicheng.

Fortunately, he is familiar with this line of work. He just passed by, and Chi Ruo who was at the side didn't even notice that the money had already been obtained, but that stupid young master was still looking up at the sky with his chin up, shaking his head. Bumping away.

Turning into an alley, Chi Ruo discovered that he had stolen the money.

A Lai quickly explained: "The second silly young master is not short of money, so naturally he wants to use it to save our urgent need!"

Unexpectedly, the local snakes in Biancheng had their eyes on them so quickly.

"Boy, the shot is fast enough!" The leader is full of scorn, and he is also a lot bigger. The other party is just a frail and weak-looking monk and a child with no hair. It is even more courageous to oppress with confidence.

The money bag contained broken pieces of silver. Although it was not whole, it was quite a lot. A Lai stepped back carefully and threw the money bag at the man's face. A Lai opened the mouth of the money bag, Broken silver scattered all over the place.

The subordinates behind him didn't know whether to pick up the money or chase after them. When the boss realized, Alai had already run away with Chiruo in his hand.

Chi Ruo's body was weak, and if he ran like this again, he was about to fall down. A Lai hurriedly supported him, approached the nearby medicine hall, and gave a piece of silver to the doctor behind the counter.

The doctor weighed it, looked at the prescription, and looked at Alai and Chiruo who was sweating profusely, and then found twenty copper coins from behind the counter, "There is a bed and a medicine stove behind."

A Lai knew that he must have been tricked, but fortunately there was a rest and brewing place behind this medicine hall, and there were twenty copper coins left, which should allow them to return to Ruicheng.

Alai lay in bed for a day, drank the medicine, and his body was no longer weak, but his face was a little pale. Looking at Alai's worried eyes, he smiled in relief: "I'm fine now."

Alai bit her lip, "Why don't you go tonight, and you don't have to rely on the Old Man's Pavilion."

Chi Ruo shook his head, "It could have been done like this, but we have already put the token in, and if we don't go, we will break our promise, and it is not good for the flower benefactor."

Looking at Alai's reluctance, Chi Ruo patted him on the head, "It's okay, I'm much better now."

Chiruo's face was pale, and he looked much better, but Alai knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he didn't say much after all, only thinking that he must always pay attention to Chiruo's situation tonight.

So, after walking for a short distance, Chi Ruo started to have a fever again.

"You said how much better you are!" Alai was impatient, now that he was going back, Chiruo refused, so he had to support him to sit under the peach tree, and kept saying: "You said how much better you are! "

Chi Ruo smiled to show relief, but he had a splitting headache, his eyelids were so heavy, and his bones were still chilling intermittently, which made him shiver uncontrollably.

Suddenly there was a hint of cold fragrance, Chi Ruo didn't have time to think about it, and saw a peach blossom falling slowly, but it didn't land on the ground, but floated in front of the two of them as if being pulled by a silk thread.

Now is not the season of peach blossoms, Chi Ruo squinted his eyes slightly, and heard A Lai's exclamation, but he couldn't take it anymore, his eyes went dark.

Peach blossoms do not fall one by one.

Chi Ruo thought.

The author has something to say: (Revised) This chapter is originally the beginning chapter of Wild Peach Root, but!It is now called the chapter where the wild peach stem begins to break.
