Chapter 23 The Buddha's light shines brightly(1/2)
Xiao Fengxian was tearful and extremely aggrieved.
I'll cover your ears, but if you don't listen to your ears, what should I do?
A small gap was released on his hand, and Xiao Fengxian whispered: "Why would the master cover my ears too?"
"Stop making trouble."
Xu Ran opened a few pages of Buddhism, but still understood it in half, like the moon in the water, the flowers in the mist.
I simply put away the Dharma and began to read the Taoyuan County Chronicles.
This "Taoyuan County Chronicle" was originally placed on the desk of the Changqing abbot's room. I don't know how many years have passed, and the paper pages are yellowed and the font is mottled.
The book was opened and pressed with a piece of paperweight. It seemed that the old abbot of Changqing was seeing it before his soul disappeared.
Xu Ran only glanced at it and then put it away.
Because there is a legend related to the origin of Taoyuan County, and this legend is actually more than 90% similar to the story called "Su Xian" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
In addition, when he heard Monk Changjing talk about the legend of the fairy peach trees on Taohualing, Xu Ran was all thinking about it.
Now looking at that page again, I saw that the worn-out and worn degree on it was far greater than the other pages, which shows that the abbot of Changqing had read this page many times, which made Xu Ran more convinced of his guesses.
The general meaning of this legend is:
A long time ago, there was an ancient village among the steep mountains.
There was a girl in the village who was squatting on a big stone by the river to wash clothes. The girl saw a wisp of water plants in the river, which was green and smooth, with a strange and cute appearance. She floated on the water surface and floated around the stone three times.
After watching it for a while, the girl was heartbroken. Soon after she returned, she became pregnant and her abdomen gradually bulged. A few months later, the girl actually gave birth to a son.
It is shameful to be pregnant before getting married, and no one would believe it. She would get pregnant by seeing only a touch of green in the river.
People will only resemble another green story.
She wanted to leave the child in the alley, but she couldn't bear it, so she refused all matchmakers, lived alone, and hid her son in the cabinet to raise her.
Until the child grew up to seven years old, he had never gone out to see anyone. One day, his son suddenly said to her: "The child is growing up, how can he be locked up at home for a long time? Let me leave, so I can no longer drag my mother down."
The woman asked her son where she was going, and she said, "I am not a human race at all. I have to hold my head up and fly into the sky."
The woman cried and asked when he would come back, and her son replied, "I will not come back until my mother is dying."
After saying that, he said goodbye to his mother and left. When the woman chased him to the yard, his son had disappeared without a trace.
From then on, the mother who lived alone almost never left the door.
Until one day decades later, the neighbor suddenly saw colorful clouds lingering in her room, like a big umbrella.
A woman in colorful fairy clothes stood in the colorful clouds. After a closer look, she turned out to be the old mother who lived alone and returned to her appearance as a girl.
She lingers in the air with colorful clouds for a long time, flying higher and higher, gradually disappearing.
The neighbors were all confused and went to her house to peek. They saw the mother dressed up and sat upright there, who had been dead for a long time.
Everyone discussed that she had no relatives and planned to pay for her to bury her.
Suddenly, a tall and handsome man appeared in front of everyone and kept thanking everyone.
Someone in the neighbor knew that the woman had a son, so he asked him if he was the child.
The man admitted that he was her son, buried his mother with the leader, planted two peach trees in front of the tomb, and said goodbye to everyone.
As soon as he walked a few steps, a brilliant cloud emerged under his feet, and the people left, and the neighbors realized that he was an immortal.
Later, the two peach trees bloomed and bear fruit, and were sweet and delicious. After eating them, they could prolong their life and eliminate all diseases. The locals called them "Fairy Peach Tree".
Peach trees grow flowers and leaves every year, and they are immortal.
Later, more and more people came to the mountains to look for fairy peach trees.
However, people found that they would not be able to enter the depths of the mountains and ridges for a while, and there were only some special years. The mountains would be filled with strange fragrances similar to peach blossoms, but people still couldn't find the source.
People looking for fairy peach trees settled down on the periphery of the mountains and ridges, and gradually formed Taoyuan County, which was also named Taohualing.
...
Seeing this, it was just the end of the book's folio page, and the legend just ended.
Xu Ran opened the next page and in the blank space above the title, there were sixteen words written in neat fly head small regular script:
Born in conceived
Colorful clouds
Fairy Peach Tree
Legend of the Immortal Fruit
Xu Ran couldn't see whether the handwriting was written by the abbot of Changqing, but it was obvious that these sixteen words were particularly attentive. The handwriting was extremely blurred by his fingers, and he had to carefully identify it to see clearly.
The old monk was almost trampling the paper pages through.
Xu Ran also carefully pondered the sixteen words, then picked up the pen, and added a few words to the blank space according to his understanding:
Spiritual fetus?
Ascension?
Rebirth?
山…
As soon as the word conspiracy was written, Xu Ran suddenly stopped writing and tilted his head to signal Xiao Fengxian to move his hands away first.
As soon as the gap appeared in my ears, I heard the next door: ¥%#*…@@@###……
Xu Ran secretly raised his fingers, and he deserved to be an existence close to the indestructible golden body. He didn't expect that he would be so powerful in that aspect. If this continues, Xiaochun's red voice would be broken, and he would have to change from a gentle school to a hoarse school in the future.
Xiao Fengxian's face was already abnormally rosy, and she said calmly: "Master, please save the little girl too?"
Xu Ran smiled slightly, "Do you know how to write the word "form" in the formation?"
Xiao Fengxian shook her head, "The little woman is illiterate..."
Xu Ran began to close his eyes and think about the words he had just written, "Thank you, block my ears again."
Xiao Fengxian: "Master..."
...
After thinking about it for about half an hour, Xu Ran shook his head and chose to enter the system.
There are five additional wild monsters in the game system, a level 15 paper man, and four level 8 paper man.
In terms of image, he was the scholar in Jinyi and four young men in civilian clothes who were killed by Lao Wang with a demon-subduing pestle.
Without choosing to attack blindly, Lao Wang can kill level 15 monsters with one blow, but it does not mean that he has this ability.
Xu Ran first looked at his experience value. He was only a little short of reaching level 10, so he first called out the small monster generated by Monk Huibing of Changqing Temple.
A level 5 wild monster, Xu Ran, a magic arrow, combined with the Fangs nail, knocked him down, and then chose to brush it automatically 150 times. Apart from experience value and copper coins, no other valuable things were dropped.
[System: Host is promoted to level 10, Spirit 1, Free Skill Points 1.]
[System: The host unlocks the passive skill "Heavenly Sensation" and unlocks the active skill "Eye of Perspective".]
[System: The host enables the mall redemption function.]
[System: System upgrade of wild monster acquisition system, primary scene acquisition module is loaded.]
...
Up to level 10, you can unlock so many functions!
Xu Ran quickly checked two skills:
[Heaven and Man Sensation]: Passive skills, originated from the ancient human art of heaven and man, can have a premonition of unknown risks and disasters.
But this matter is illusory and cannot be captured now.
This skill cannot be upgraded, and it can be slightly improved as the mental power increases.
What kind of bird skill is this?
It is actually described as illusory and incapable of capturing?
Is it too strong or extremely useless?
Xu Ran checked another skill.
[Eye of Perspective]: Skill Level (13), displaying the position and level of the enemy within a certain range.
Radius of action: fine display 15 meters, rough display 150 meters, display level increases by 6 levels, 9 levels, 15 levels as the skill is skilled.
This is a good non-combat skill. It can detect enemy situations in a range, and can also be used to view the opponent's level. Level 1 skill can view existences within 14 levels higher than you, so that you will not blindly die.
Suddenly, Xu Ran felt Xiao Fengxian's hands begin to tremble, and it became more and more violent, and he was trembling.
No, this girl is excited to hear that, want GC?
Or, what horrible thing she saw?
Xu Ran turned his head and saw Xiao Fengxian staring at the next door without blinking...
To be continued...
