At the exit of "One Line of Sky" in the south of Qingyun Mountain, there were twenty or thirty people holding strange weapons, surrounding a donkey, a horse, an old man and a young man. Their eyes were full of hostility and they looked at the old man and the young man. None of them could
He didn't say anything. Among the group, there was a man who looked like an iron tower and carried a big ax. He kept staring at the old man and the young man without even blinking.
Ling Tianyun looked at this group of strange bandits with doubts in his eyes. These guys were dressed in rags and holding strange weapons. Are they really bandits? The old monk's eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide open.
He was so stunned that he even forgot to put a sip of wine into his mouth while holding up the wine gourd.
The two sides were facing each other like this, and no one spoke a word. They could only hear the howling wind blowing into the canyon, and the bell under the little black donkey's neck made a clanging sound when the cold wind blew it.
"Do you want to rob me? I don't have any money, old monk. This bastard has money. You can rob him."
It was the old monk who broke the calm. He said to the group of bandits. He had a flattering smile on his face, but he was no more like an old monk. He was just like an old man in the market who bullied the weak and was afraid of being tough. When Ling Tianyun heard this, he didn't realize it.
He was stunned, and suddenly felt as if he was laughing or laughing. He thought that these bandits would jump out directly, and make a very domineering slogan, "I am the one driving this road," and then make a very cool gesture and shout loudly.
: "Robbery".
But at this time, these so-called bandits are obviously not a group of professional bandits. They have neither domineering catchphrases nor cool postures. What kind of bandits are they? The way they dress and the momentum is simply
They are just a group of rural farmers who have never seen the world.
"Robbery?" The man carrying a giant ax showed a trace of doubt in his eyes. He looked at the other people for a while. He turned his eyes back to the old monk and said: "This master
, I’d like to ask if you are from that side of the mountain?”
When the old monk heard this, he was stunned. Aren't these bandits? How could there be such bandits? It seemed that they had no intention of robbing, but how could a bandit ask such gentle questions?
Xiang Tianyun looked at Ling Tianyun who was puzzled by this. He straightened his old and oil-stained cassock. Then he looked solemn, clasped his hands together, lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows and said, "Amitabha, dear donors, I and my disciples are passing by
Over there, I wanted to go to Lanzhou City before passing by because this road was closer. I wonder what the donors have done by besieging my master and my disciples? Aren't you bandits?"
At this time, the old monk was like an enlightened monk. If Ling Tianyun had not gotten along with this old monk, he would have thought that this old monk was a truly enlightened monk. But the appearance of this old monk at this time made Ling Tianyun laugh.
I barely managed to control myself from laughing out loud.
"Aren't you spies sent by the bandits over the mountain?" The big man asked again, and he asked very carefully. At the same time, his nervous expression relaxed slightly. The other twenty or thirty people also asked him.
He lowered his weapon and the hostility in his eyes became much less intense.
"I dare to ask this big brother, what is going on? Do you think we are bandits?" Ling Tianyun asked the big man with a fist in his arms.
"Oh, it seems this is a misunderstanding, you all should disperse." The big man smiled bitterly, and waved his hand to let everyone else disperse. He stepped forward and walked to the old monk and Ling Tianyun, smiling.
He smiled and said: "I'm sorry for frightening you two." When the other people heard what this big man said, they all left one after another. Before leaving, their eyes were full of apologies, and they all nodded to the old monk and Ling Tianyun.
, it can be regarded as saying hello and apologizing.
"Brother, what on earth is going on?" Seeing everyone leaving, Ling Tianyun jumped down from his horse. Standing in front of the big man, he asked him again. The old monk was very profound.
His thoughtful expression, his solemn expression, and his demeanor were light and casual, fully displaying the image of an eminent monk from a lifetime ago.
When the man saw that the old monk looked like an eminent monk, he immediately felt sincere admiration for him. He strode forward and bowed to the old monk with his hands clasped together, saying, "Xiao Qin Zhengyang, I have met the master."
"Amitabha, Donor Qin is exempt from the gift." The old monk clasped his hands and returned the greeting to him, with a serious look, which made Ling Tianyun want to laugh again.
The old monk pointed at Ling Tianyun again and said, "This is Lao Na's lay disciple, Ling Tianyun."
Ling Tianyun's smile condensed again. When did he become the old monk's disciple, and how did the old monk know his name? He did not reveal his name to the old monk along the way, and
She didn't even mention anything about her life experience to him.
"Hello, brother Ling." The big man Qin Zhengyang greeted Ling Tianyun again with cupped fists.
"Brother Qin, you're welcome."
The old monk was sitting on the back of a little black donkey, looking like an eminent monk. But when Qin Zhengyang wasn't paying attention, he kept winking at Ling Tianyun. Ling Tianyun saw this, and he didn't know what the old monk was thinking.
.It was just that the old monk was so hungry that his chest was touching his back, but he wanted to maintain the image of an eminent monk and never asked the big man for some food.
"By the way, Brother Qin, what on earth is going on?" Ling Tianyun asked Qin Zhengyang while holding the horse with one hand.
"Well, it's hard to explain. Are you two in a hurry? If not, can you move to our village? I'll let Xiao Ke tell you in detail." Qin Zhengyang suggested to the other party.
This happened to play into the hands of the old monk. He quickly muttered in a low voice: "Amitabha, why are you so embarrassed to disturb me?"
"It's okay, it's just that our village is in a remote area. I hope you two won't be offended." Qin Zhengyang said quickly. He then looked at Ling Tianyun and said, "What do you think, brother Ling?"
"It's okay. We don't have anything urgent to do. We just want to go to your village to have a rest."
Qin Zhengyang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Ling Tianyun had no objection. He quickly led the way and led the old man and the young man towards his village. Ling Tianyun did not ride on the horse. He held the horse with one hand and followed Qin Zhengyang closely. And the man behind Ling Tianyun was
It was the old monk riding on the back of the little black donkey. The old monk was dressed in a leisurely and casual manner, with a proud smile on his face from time to time. But Ling Tianyun completely ignored these things. Seeing that Ling Tianyun completely ignored his existence, the old monk
The monk couldn't help but blow his beard and glare with anger.
Ling Tianyun didn't know what the old monk was thinking, so he completely ignored him. He and Qin Zhengyang had some fun along the way. Although Qin Zhengyang admired the old monk behind him, he also had a little bit of fear, so
He still felt that he could talk to Ling Tianyun relatively well, but he was always polite to the old monk.
"Brother Ling, what's wrong with you?" Qin Zhengyang was already walking side by side with Ling Tianyun. He suddenly saw Ling Tianyun's face suddenly changed, and his teeth and mouth were bared as if he were in pain. He couldn't help but ask with concern.
A smile uglier than crying appeared on Ling Tianyun's face, and he quickly replied to Qin Zhengyang: "It's okay, I have been injured before, maybe this wound has recurred."
"Brother Ling is really okay." Qin Zhengyang saw the strange expression on his face and asked again.
"It doesn't matter, I'm sick, I'll be fine in a while." Ling Tianyun endured the strong pain and replied. He glanced back slightly at the old monk, but saw the old monk looking at him with a grimace and laughing.
"This old and dishonest person" Ling Tianyun cursed secretly in his heart.
A donkey, a horse, an old man, a young man and a strong man walked towards a village. After walking from the exit of "One Line of Sky" for about half an hour, they saw a village appearing in front of them.
This village is much larger than the one where Ling Tianyun stayed in the temple. It should be called a village. There are about a hundred households in this village, all living in a wide and flat area at the foot of the green mountain. It can be said to be a small plain area.
, where hundreds of households are divided into orderly branches on the plain.
There is a small river about three to four feet wide in the small village that divides the village into two. Although it is winter now, the river has not completely dried up. You can still see the crystal clear water about two feet deep. The small river
There are one or two arched stone bridges above, connecting the two divided villages. There are dead grass piled up everywhere under the dead trees in the village, which are collected by farmers for use as firewood in winter.
Qin Zhengyang led them into the village, passed through the short tile-roofed houses, and stopped at a house with earthen walls and tiled tiles. He pushed open the two unpainted wooden doors and walked in with Ling Tianyun and the old monk.
.As soon as you enter the door, you will see a courtyard. There are several jujube trees in the courtyard that have already lost their leaves. Several hens can be seen running around in the courtyard, pecking at the withered grass in the courtyard.
small bug.
The old monk did not get off the black donkey, but swaggered on the black donkey through the wooden door and followed the white horse. As soon as he entered the door, a rapid barking of a dog came. For a moment, from
A black dog jumped out of the dog kennel in the corner of the courtyard. The black dog's black fur was shiny, and its thick body jumped out of the dog kennel like lightning, roaring and rushing towards Ling Tianyun.
"Woof woof" the black dog opened its fanged mouth and pounced on Ling Tianyun. Ling Tianyun easily dodged the pounce. The white horse he was leading was frightened and neighed.
The two horse hooves immediately stood up and almost kicked Ling Tianyun. The little black donkey that the old monk stepped on was even more startled, and it jumped so fiercely that it almost threw the old monk off its back.
This sudden change made Qin Zhengyang unable to react for a while. When he reacted, he immediately loudly reprimanded the black dog: "Xiao Hei, stop, these two people are my friends."
The black dog seemed to understand Qin Zhengyang's words, and whined low and did not continue to attack Ling Tianyun. It walked to Ling Tianyun's feet and sniffed at his feet for a while, then circled around him before walking away. The black dog walked up to
Qin Zhengyang stood up with his two hind legs in front of him, and his forelimbs almost rested on Qin Zhengyang's shoulders.
Qin Zhengyang touched the black dog's head and said, "Xiao Hei, go play by yourself, I have to entertain the guests." Upon hearing this, the black dog laid down on his chest and lowered its forelimbs, wagging its tail and moving forward.
Ran away.
"I'm sorry for frightening you two."
Qin Zhengyang smiled bitterly. He took the reins from Ling Tianyun's hand and tied the horse under a jujube tree. The old monk sat on the back of the little black donkey and trembled. His face turned pale as if he had lost his soul with fear.
As if. Upon seeing this, Ling Tianyun immediately stepped forward to support the old monk, and then helped the old monk down.
"Boy, be careful with this big guy." When Ling Tianyun supported the old monk, the old monk whispered to him something that only the two of them could hear clearly.
Ling Tianyun raised his sword eyebrows and nodded to show that he understood. The old monk then slowly got off the black donkey with Ling Tianyun's support, with a pale and bloodless face. The old monk got off the donkey.
Later, Ling Tianyun tied the little black donkey under another jujube tree, and he took the opportunity to look around the courtyard.
However, Qin Zhengyang did not hear what the old monk said to Ling Tianyun. He just watched everything quietly. After Ling Tianyun tied the little black donkey to the jujube tree, he called the two people into the house.
