Zhang Jiachong is not very far from the Peach Blossom Spring. After all, Ah San and I are on the road together, not as fast as Lian Dao really. So, the night passed, we stopped and went, and waited until dawn, but we only walked tens of kilometers.
As mentioned earlier, Zhangjiachong is a small place with narrow roads and sparsely populated areas. However, Asan likes this kind of place. According to her words, places with few people often hide some good things.
The good things in her mouth are not antiques or bronzes, but strange things.
We walked along the fairly level concrete road for a long time, but no one saw it. This season is already autumn and winter. Although it is not a busy time for farming, it is somewhat strange that no one can see it in the field.
Ah San punched me, and my mood suddenly became bright. At this moment, he was jumping, stepping on the wild flowers on the roadside from time to time, and then turning his head to ask me: "Nanny, can you?"
I was speechless to this title and said: "You are a boy, why do you wear flowers, and also, can you not call it a nanny?"
"No." Asan refused my suggestion without hesitation, then threw the flowers away angrily, and said, "Who says boys can't wear flowers anymore, you are prejudiced."
I couldn't help rolling my eyes. If it weren't for scaring her, I would have revealed her identity. In fact, Ah San also had doubts about whether I knew her gender. It's just that one of us pretended to be stupid and the other was dumbfounded.
After walking for a while, I finally saw a few small shops. When we walked over, we saw that except for a supermarket with a young man in his twenties who was watching the door there, the other stores were empty. Asan and I stepped forward and asked curiously, "Where are the people in the nearby shops?"
"I've all gone to see the Bodhisattva." The young man said angrily, "What age is it, and I'm so superstitious."
"Look at the Bodhisattva?" I turned my head in surprise and looked around. Except for these shops, there were no human voices in many houses. I can't help asking: "All of you guys have gone?"
"Yes." The young man said, "Someone said a few days ago that there was a Bodhisattva manifestation in the small temple outside the village, what Buddha's light is so great, and what Dharma body manifested. Those monks must have no money, and they don't know what to do. Attract people to sell incense in the past."
I was stunned that if the Bodhisattva manifestation was placed a few months ago, I would definitely not believe it. But now, I have to believe it.
I saw a real Arhat in Jiming Temple, and that person is about to become a Bodhisattva. At the Chenghuang Temple in Qixian County, I saw an artificial city god that hadn't formed yet. Although there are truths and falsehoods in this, it makes me sure that one thing is that the Buddha should exist.
At this time, Asan suddenly asked, "Where is the little temple you mentioned?"
The young man glanced at her and said, "Seeing you are so clever, why are you as obsessed with this thing as an old man? Do you really believe in a Bodhisattva?"
His tone was not very good. I was afraid of angering Ah San, and then smashed his shop. I quickly said, "I have a relative who lives near here. I went to his house and didn’t find anyone. I guess I went to see Bodhisattva. So, I want to go to the small temple to see if I can find it."
"That said, people within a radius of a few hundred miles are about to blow it up these days. Many people don't come back and sleep at the entrance of the temple with a quilt." The young man.
"Where is that temple?" I asked.
Although young people complain about people's superstitious attitude toward Buddhism and not asking about family matters, they still give us directions. After I thanked him, I took Asan, who was pouting, and walked out.
As soon as he left the shop, Ah San stomped his feet and said, "No, dare to say that I'm like an old man, I have to go back and beat him!"
My forehead was sweaty, and I quickly coaxed her and said, "He said that I am like an old man, not to mention you. You are so lively and cute, and the flowers are blooming."
"How clever are you?" Ah San snorted.
It's good or bad to coax her away. In order to make her forget the unhappiness just now, I asked: "You take the initiative to ask the location of the small temple, are you also interested in seeing the Bodhisattva?"
"Where are there so many Bodhisattvas to see." Asan said, "I just think this is too weird. The city god you saw in Qixian some time ago doesn't know what it has to do with this."
"Are you doubting that the Bodhisattva is also man-made?" I asked.
"It's not impossible." Asan said, "If it is false, we will expose it. If it is true, then I will make a wish to the Bodhisattva."
"Hope to find a way to resurrect soon?" I asked curiously.
"I hope the Bodhisattva will quickly get you away, it's best to throw it into the sea." Asan said.
I'm so helpless, why are you throwing me again? Anyway, I'm also a nanny...
We walked for a while in the direction pointed by the young man, and then from a distance, we heard a large wave of calls. The voice was very messy, very mixed, vaguely audible, and they were all calling Guanshiyin, Amitabha and so on.
I was stunned. If the Bodhisattva was real or fake, it would definitely be like someone guarding him at all times in Qi County. Although Lien Daozhen didn't fall out with the opponent at the time, he also forced the opponent to abandon some chess pieces to clean his butt. Therefore, we had a feast with those mysterious people.
Now that even Dao is not there, I don’t know if the other party can deny me. If a big fight, the bronze armor corpse is not there, can I cope with it with me and Ah San
The first time I didn't have Ren Dao by the side, I was very nervous when facing such an unthinkable thing alone. I subconsciously wondered, if I really fight, how can I show that I often beat people? Should I shout first, or take a step back
"Zuo Tianyang, your soul is lost?" Ah San shouted.
When I looked up, I saw that she had walked tens of meters away, pinching her waist and staring at me. I ran to her quickly, booed to her, and said nervously, "Don't call my real name, what if someone hears it!"
"Did you steal or kill?" Ah San rolled his eyes and said, "You are not happy to call your nanny, and you are not happy to call your name. Why is it so difficult to serve."
"This... Anyway, for safety's sake, you can shout anything, just don't shout Zuo Tianyang." I said.
"It's really annoying." Ah San said impatiently: "Go quickly, I'm stupid and stunned."
"I'm not thinking in case of danger..."
"I miss you."
"I don't think much about it..."
"are you a pig?"
In such a nutritious conversation, we gradually approached the lively crowd.
This temple is indeed very small. There are three earthen houses with a large open space outside and a half-meter-high incense burner in the middle. There are too many people. At a glance, there are at least hundreds of people. With so many people gathered here, the fences in the nearby fields have been flattened. However, the damaged residents not only did not complain, but happily introduced to others how the Bodhisattva manifested.
In their view, being able to live by the temple is an honor.
I listened to the meeting with Asan, but didn't hear anything famous. According to the resident, the manifestation of the Bodhisattva is actually the light in the temple. Some people say that they saw the white-clothed Bodhisattva holding a jade bottle with willow branches, falling on auspicious clouds.
This is definitely nonsense. If there is a Bodhisattva, how can it appear so openly? But the temple shines, I believe it.
Asan pulled off my clothes and motioned to leave. I followed her away for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Did you find something?"
"How can it be so fast." Asan said, "I want to ask you, is the man-made city god in Qixian like this?"
"According to the description, it is indeed the same." I replied.
"It must be that group!" Asan squeaked his teeth.
I was a little surprised and said: "Even if this is fake, you don't have to look like you want to eat people."
"Ada was killed by them, do you think I should eat people?" Asan said.
By the way, Ah Da was still a monk back then, and he also encountered a "appearing" Buddha, and all monks in a temple were killed by the "Buddha". After Ah Da killed the Buddha, but because of Ah San's words, he couldn't bear the pain in his heart and died. Speaking of it, Ah San and those people do have a grudge.
However, without Lian Daozhen by my side, my confidence is very lacking, and I don't want Ah San to conflict with those people.
Just when I was about to persuade, I heard Ah San say: "Go, let's walk around and see where those people are hiding."
"If you find them, what are you going to do?" I asked.
"What should I do?" Asan replied.
When I heard this, my heart was very disturbed. Ah San's methods have always been very shameful, and it seems that she is determined to turn the chaos upside down. I wondered whether this place is not far from the Peach Blossom Spring, is it right to invite Lian Dao
In response to this, Ah San said: "Are you planning to let him protect you for the rest of your life?"
I was stunned, then silently, never mentioning it again.
Ah San was in front and I was behind. We walked around the small temple for a full circle. There are many people nearby, and A Sanyi's face is cheerful, like a little boy visiting. She laughed when she saw everyone, and from time to time she told people whether she had eaten or not.
If I hadn't come with her, I would have been deceived at this moment, thinking that he had lived here for many years.
However, we went around the temple and found nothing. As for the residents around, Asan pretended to watch it inadvertently. The house was filled with local farmers, either very old people or very young children. Those who can walk around normally are now squatting at the entrance of the temple.
Not finding it is a normal thing. With those people's ability, if we find it easily, then it is a strange thing. However, Ah San had a bad temper. After looking around, he couldn't find it, and said angrily: "If I can't find it anymore, I will set the temple on fire and see if they can't get out!"
I quickly dissuaded me and said: "It is illegal to set fire, not to mention there are so many innocent people."
"Then you give me a way?" Asan said.
At this time, Xiaomiao suddenly got angry, some yelled and some scolded. I glanced at Ah San and hurried over. When that happened, I heard someone say loudly: "It's not a true Bodhisattva at all, so don't be deceived!" (End of this chapter)
