"I'm hungry, let's go get something to eat!"
Talking to herself, the woman continued to hum a ditty that was filled with the sadness of farewell, while walking towards the restaurant on the street. She did not enter the most luxurious restaurant, but chose an ordinary one. Although the expenses were high, , but there will always be a day when there is not enough, but you can no longer be as lavish as you were at the beginning, not knowing the hardships of life!
After entering the restaurant, she found a seat and sat down. The woman finally took off her cloak and revealed her true face.
Soon, the originally noisy restaurant became quiet. People who accidentally saw the woman's appearance were all extremely surprised and stopped what they were doing. However, before they could show their obsession, they were busy again. Turning your head and taking another look is a kind of blasphemy and disrespectful to a woman.
Originally, this kind of restaurant was not high-end, even if it was not a mixed bag, there were still many people from the middle and lower classes of society. Usually, if such a beautiful woman came in, some young people who tended to be gangsters would gather together to whisper and comment. He even took advantage of the situation and stepped forward to make a few jokes. However, when facing this woman, he was attracted by an indescribable aura. He walked out of the restaurant involuntarily, waited on the street, and then left as if waking up from a dream, cursing.
"Embracing carp, honey lotus root, steamed rice dumplings... yes, there is also this broken gold rice. I ate it in Qinchuan. I have never forgotten it. I heard that you do it well here. I want to eat it!" All of this seemed like he had never seen it before. He just looked at the menu and smiled at the silly waiter.
"Okay...Okay. Sir, the food will be here soon!" The waiter ran towards the dining room in a hurry, and soon brought out the broken gold rice that the woman was talking about. This ancient version of Yangzhou fried rice exudes charm. The aroma, combined with several other dishes with their own characteristics, can really make people's fingers tantalize.
However, the speed at which the dishes are served is clearly a sign of queue jumping. Many customers who arrived earlier than the woman are still waiting. Normally, there would be no uproar, but now none of the customers have any objections, and they are all waiting obediently.
At this moment, the woman couldn't wait to start. She took out her chopsticks with graceful movements, and the full plate became empty at a speed visible to the naked eye. Everyone around was stunned, feeling speechless because of her good appetite. The woman raised her head, but Smiling at them kindly, these guests hurriedly turned back to the food on their tables. Suddenly, the dishes that they were tired of eating suddenly became delicious...
"The power of faith is really a very strange and wonderful power! Brother Gao Xu said not long ago that if we, the Nuwa family, want to truly save the world, we cannot rely on blind sacrifice, but must use the correct belief that leads people to do good. It has spread to various places. In the past year, I have visited the larger towns in Middle-earth, but I can’t find Brother Gao Xu. I have just started to learn the power of faith. Alas, I am really stupid~~"
There is no doubt that this woman is Zhao Linger.
In the blink of an eye, he went from the peaceful and joyful Tianshu Shuiyue Palace to the world of Ancient Swords and Strange Tales. Zhao Ling'er was extremely uncomfortable at first in a vast sea of completely unfamiliar people.
Even though the people in Chang'an Restaurant are so "friendly", that is not due to Zhao Ling'er's personal charm, but the initial application of the power of faith - the infection of kindness!
In a small town that Zhao Ling'er arrived at first, her stunning appearance really brought her a lot of trouble. Not to mention, many sons of wealthy officials, that is, the second generation of officials and the second generation of the rich in ancient times, coveted her beauty.
The cliché plot of coming to strike up a conversation, hitting a wall, then having evil thoughts, and preparing to use force, happened no less than five times, but unfortunately Zhao Ling'er solved them one by one.
Zhao Ling'er in the Fairy Sword World is extremely simple. She has never left the Fairy Island. She has no idea about the grudges, hatreds, insidiousness and cunning of the world. Even if she is strong, it is entirely possible for her to be plotted by villains with cunning tricks.
However, since spending a long time with Gao Xu, Su Ying and others in Tianshu World, and hearing the women of the Tianxing team mentioning the disputes between the reincarnations from time to time, Zhao Ling'er has already understood the various things in the outside world. Later, Qingyao pulled Gu Gu
The gangsters and the like resorted to all possible means to kill each other, and if Zhao Ling'er still didn't know anything after such a long time, then she was not naive, but stupid.
But Zhao Ling'er is Zhao Ling'er after all. Without the decisiveness of the reincarnation, he punished those lustful officials' children. At first, he just fought back the thugs sent by the other party. Not to mention the loss of life, he didn't even suffer serious injuries.
Unexpectedly, not only did this not solve the problem, it actually aroused the other party's arrogance. As a result, the legs of those scoundrels were burned to ashes by the real fire of purgatory...
As soon as the fire magic came out, many people were finally shocked, but there were also some young masters who thought they had all-powerful eyes and hands. They found Taoist disciples and slandered Zhao Ling'er as a monster who wanted to do justice for heaven!
It’s still an old-fashioned plot. Gu Jian Qi Tan is a world of cultivation. There are no less than ten famous cultivating sects. Judging from the main plot of the second generation, it is also closely connected with the secular court. The world is rolling, confusing people’s hearts, and officials.
The disciples often have contact with the cultivation sects, and some work in collusion with each other. Some have little knowledge, and some mistakenly believe in the traitors. When the two major forces of Taoism and secularity join forces, they cannot take it lightly.
Those more than a month were the most difficult days for Zhao Ling'er. She was soft-hearted and didn't want to be cruel to some cultivation disciples who had been deceived. However, the mere defeat and repulse aroused the restlessness and dissatisfaction of some arrogant disciples.
, the trend of three people becoming tigers finally triggered a small-scale siege, which almost forced Zhao Linger, who was passively responding, into a desperate situation. If it were not for the Earth Escape method of the Earth Lingzhu, it would be difficult to escape.
Later, Xiao Ruan and Xiao Yuan, disciples of Mount Taihua, passed by and discovered that Zhao Ling'er's magical skills were pure and powerful, without any obscurity and darkness. Her skills came from the heart. It was obvious that she was not a demon. They finally stopped everyone and conducted a detailed investigation to let the truth come out.
This personal experience made Zhao Ling'er understand three truths:
First, mercy must be given to others, and mercy must be based on the object. For some people with evil intentions and no regrets at all, they must understand the cycle of cause and effect and the principle of unsatisfactory retribution as soon as they are attacked.
In this regard, Zhao Ling'er adopted Gao Xu's method of solving the problem. Although on the surface, he asked the two disciples of Taihua Mountain to deal with the official disciples. In fact, they were sent to the government, which would inevitably end in nothing. But secretly, depending on the seriousness of the situation,
, turn them directly into idiots!
The purpose of doing this is not to vent their anger, but to prevent them from harming more people. As expected, when Zhao Ling'er took action, many young men had already gathered together to discuss how to play a poor girl and vent their grievances.
Already...
Zhao Ling'er's punishment has actually been light. If it were Gao Xu, he would definitely not spare the parents who allowed their precious sons to cause harm to others. Although the punishment of consecutive sentences in ancient times was cruel, it really needs to be used at this moment. No.
Given the pampering and laissez-faire nature of their parents, how could they go so far as to treat Zhao Ling'er until death?
Second, people’s words are fearful, and their opinions are worth their weight in gold.
Zhao Ling'er is a gentle and kind girl both internally and externally. She never gets angry with others. At first, many cultivation disciples were reluctant to attack her. However, as her senior brothers, especially her senior sister, scolded her, the voices of criticism became louder and louder.
Gao Gao. These people's eyes gradually turned red and they started to kill her.
This is what people say is scary. Countless historical events at home and abroad, both ancient and modern, illustrate the terrifying nature of these four words. People are curious, especially about unfamiliar things. When everyone does not know the truth, even if no one specifically slanders them,
It is inevitable that some people will use their imagination to invent some unfounded scandals and anecdotes to entertain the public or attract attention, and then everyone will hear from hearsay that it seems that such a thing really happened...
However, everything has two sides. If people's blind obedience is consciously controlled and guided, it is not impossible for them to do good. Zhao Ling'er thought of what Gao Xu said -
If the Nuwa family wants to truly save the world, they cannot rely on blind sacrifice, but must spread the correct belief that leads people to do good things everywhere!
Since then, Zhao Ling'er has had preliminary thoughts about the power of faith. In the past, she had no desires and no understanding of the sufferings in the world. Without passion, she would naturally have no motivation. Even if she reluctantly went into battle, she would not be able to achieve results in the end!
In addition, in order to find the missing Gao Xu, relying on her own strength is too much to find a needle in a haystack. If we develop believers and everyone works together, the hope will be great!
Third, the human heart is dangerous and unpredictable.
In fact, during the battle, Zhao Ling'er was not cruel at all. Except for some fabrications, there was no grudge between the two sides at all. However, those people acted as if Zhao Ling'er had killed their whole family. To put it bluntly, it was because so many people lost.
A woman with no background and no sect who is not satisfied with the double ten years has been greatly damaged in face. There is also some jealousy and persecution among women. To put it in detail, how can there be any fairyland in the pursuit of cultivation?
In the end, these selfish grudges resulted in the tragedy of inflicting harm on human lives and aiding the evildoers, and this hatred did not disappear even after the truth was revealed. Although they lost the banner of righteousness, the disciples of those sects could no longer openly trouble Zhao Ling'er, but look at them
With the angry look on his eyebrows, even a fool knows that this matter is not over yet!
The human heart is the most unpredictable thing. As the saying goes, the human heart is separated from the belly. No matter how advanced your cultivation is, it is difficult to read other people's thoughts. To say the least, even if you use tricks such as the powerful demon to seize the soul, you can read the memories and thoughts of others.
, it is also impossible to last, let alone control changes all the time. A slight mistake can easily cause backlash.
So, how to control faith?
Zhao Ling'er is not like Canux, who created alchemy props to prove his fanatic faith, and specially developed fanatic believers in the plot world, in order to use the souls of fanatic believers to resist harm and protect his own life. That is a kind of
False belief.
True faith is two-way. For example, Gao Xu realized that God's will is public opinion in the dark world. Believers pray to the gods. The power of faith provides strength to the gods. The gods also satisfy the wishes of believers and provide them with protection.
It functions as a virtuous cycle, so that we will not dry up the lake for fishing and burn the forest for hunting!
Of course, for reincarnations, the process of this kind of behavior is too long, and the rewards are not necessarily high. Besides, it is very difficult to cultivate believers, and it is even more difficult to maintain faith. Believers will become more and more greedy and have more and more demands.
The more people there are, the easier it is to rebel once someone is not satisfied. In modern Internet terms, it is difficult to become a fan from a passerby, but it is easy to become a fan from a fan to a passerby!
Reincarnators never do things that are not worth the gain, but profit is not the first word in Zhao Ling'er's dictionary. She sincerely wants to use her faith to change some of the injustices in the world. The believers' demands and psychological changes must be considered to be a perfect solution.
Policy!
It has to be said that for some people, some things seem to be talents they are born with, deeply engraved in their blood. Logically speaking, Zhao Ling'er has not only spread faith and developed believers since she was a child, she has even met strangers.
There are only a handful of them. Although her mother Lin Qing'er is a witch queen and is admired by the Bai Miao people, it is not for personal reasons. It is hard to imagine where Zhao Ling'er will start.
But Zhao Ling'er really did it. Starting from Jiangdu, Zhao Ling'er began to look for various ways. First, he did good deeds and helped people in need as much as possible. Then he used earth spirit beads to strengthen the dams to help the people resist floods, and finally built Wa
The Imperial Temple spreads the faith of the great goddess Nuwa.
By the way, from ancient times to the present in the world of Ancient Swords and Legends, the people of the Central Plains have devoutly believed in the Emperor Fuxi. Only in remote areas of southern Xinjiang, there are villages worshiping Nuwa for generations, and the long-standing Immortal Cultivation sect has been worshiped by the three emperors.
There are offerings, this situation is similar to that in Immortal Sword.
These attempts gave Zhao Ling'er a lot of gains, and she realized that spreading the sincerity of faith is easier said than done. There are no tricks, haste makes waste, she needs to act with a normal mind, and gradually understood the use of contagion.
Dissipate spiritual power and persuade people to do good, just like the Buddha's light. Even the most vicious people, when around Zhao Ling'er, will unconsciously have kind thoughts and put down the butcher's knife. This is the indispensable contagious power of the gods.
During the whole process, the jade Buddha beads and small stones were the most excited. From Zhao Ling'er's road to becoming a god, he realized the vastness and breadth of Buddhism. By analogy, he knew that the day when he would complete his practice and return to the Buddha was not far away.
Since then, the greatest effectiveness of the Jade Buddha Bead has also been developed. In the main plot of the World of Fairy Sword, Xiao Shitou went astray and forcefully forced people to become monks in the Jade Buddha Temple. Finally, he was enlightened by Zhao Ling'er. Now Zhao Ling'er uses its power to
It can be seen that one drink and one peck are predestined!
How far has Zhao Ling'er and the Jade Buddha Pearl made progress together? At this moment, the harmonious scene in Chang'an Restaurant is a clear proof.
Zhao Ling'er felt that her progress was slow and too stupid, but she didn't know that if a cultivator who specializes in theocratic beliefs saw it, her eyes would probably pop out of her head!
This is really a crucial and solid link!
The beginning of the road to becoming a goddess!!
This is a difficulty that 90% of cultivators cannot overcome!!!
Back to the subject, although Zhao Ling'er didn't look like a busy person, he was actually tired from traveling. After finishing his meal, he recalled his growth over the year, wiped his mouth, walked to the counter to pay, waved to the shopkeeper with a smile, and walked out of the restaurant.
Holding Gao Xu's portrait, he went around asking about Gao Xu's whereabouts.
"no impression."
"Never seen it before!"
"Feel sorry!"
…
The people who were asked shook their heads. Zhao Ling'er's eyebrows did not show disappointment, but were full of perseverance. Even if it was the end of the world, she would definitely find Gao Xu, for Sister Lianxing, Sister Tuoba and the others, for Qingyao's sake.
Entrusted, for...herself!
Zhao Ling'er didn't know what Gao Xu had become now. Maybe it was futile to search for people according to the picture, but there was no other way. Fortunately, there was an intuition in the dark that told her that a turning point might come soon.
of……
"Bamboo shoot buns...the bamboo shoot buns circus is here!"
"Really? Really? That's great. I'll go home and tell my mother..."
"Why don't you go back to your home? Hurry up and go see your mother. Your mother will be here soon!!!"
Suddenly, the street was boiling with excitement. Children called for friends and rushed towards the pier shouting. The strangest thing was that when the sound of their discussion floated into the ears of passers-by, many adults whispered to each other and actually
He changed direction with excitement on his face.
"The Bamboo Shoots and Buns Juggling Troupe? I seem to have heard of it somewhere..." Zhao Ling'er had just had doubts in her mind when a tough-looking little boy ran to her side and said with a blush, "Beautiful sister, the Bamboo Shoots and Buns Juggling Troupe is coming to the pier.
I heard from dad that they appear less and less recently. They used to have performances every year, so you can't...can't miss it!"
"Good boy, I understand, thank you!" Zhao Ling'er pursed his lips and smiled, touching his head. The little boy ran away happily. Zhao Ling'er pondered for a moment and thought to himself, "Various troupe"
When traveling around various places, I see a lot of strange people and strangers, maybe there is news, so why not go and have a look!"
In ancient times, there was no Internet and there were few entertainment facilities. Theaters (theaters), lanterns, temple fairs, circling circus troupes, etc. were the biggest entertainment projects for ordinary people, and bamboo shoot buns were the most famous circus troupe.
It is said that the members of this weirdly named vaudeville troupe are all highly skilled and possess special powers. They can perform performances that others cannot perform. They perform in public and are not greedy for money. They perform exclusively for dignitaries and regard ordinary people as nothing. Therefore, every
Wherever you go, you are enthusiastically welcomed by the local people.
Zhao Ling'er had heard about the reputation of the Bamboo Shoots and Buns Juggling Troupe when she traveled around the country, but she didn't care about it at the time. Now that she happened to come across it, she might as well go and have a look.
The majestic Chang'an Pier soon arrived, with ships coming and going constantly and being very lively. However, at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the large ship with a unique and cute shape - the Bamboo Bamboo Buns!
The shape of this ship resembles a large goldfish. The hull is carved with glittering fish scales. Instead of the fins, there is a complete small building, which has an exotic ocean style. The part that resembles a fish's eye has a bamboo shoot painted on one side.
, there is a steamed bun painted on the other side, which is indeed worthy of its name of "Bamboo Shoot Steamed Bun".
Not just cruising boats, the Bamboo Shoots and Buns Juggling Troupe also has a variety of programs: sea lions playing with balls, monkeys walking on a tightrope, cats and dogs fishing, and bears walking through fire rings. I don’t know how so many complicated props were put together in such a short time.
.
"So it turns out that they are a circus troupe composed of a group of spirits and monsters. They are quite courageous and kind-hearted! Hey, this panda spirit is so fun~~" More and more people in Chang'an gathered around and saw that
There were laughter and thunderous applause, but Zhao Ling'er, who was standing a little far away, instantly saw the true face of this acrobatic troupe. He stared at the panda in the center, whose round and fleshy body was spinning a large wooden hoop similar to a hula hoop, and his eyes were bent like
Crescent shape.
Those who are familiar with the main plot of Gu Jian Qi Tan II are certainly familiar with the Bamboo Shoots and Buns Juggling Troupe. This juggling troupe is all about being cute...well, the performing juggling troupe is all composed of monsters, such as vixens, old tree spirits, monkey spirits, etc.
The leader is a panda spirit, cute first and greedy second. No wonder people say they have special powers and can perform performances that ordinary vaudeville troupes cannot do, because they are performing in their true colors!
Of course, if they are just a group of little demons, they will never be able to ride the wind and waves and travel all over the world. There are many backers behind the Bamboo Shoots and Buns Juggling Troupe, and they are very well hidden!
Zhao Ling'er didn't know this. At this time, she was watching with great interest. When she saw the exciting parts, she clapped her hands and applauded with everyone. She was ready to wait until the performance was over before going forward to ask for news!
Unexpectedly, just as the first performance was coming to an end, several magnificent sword lights came from the sky, heading towards the Bamboo Bamboo Buns...
