Chapter 3: The troubled world
Fahai here has already fled dozens of miles away.
Suddenly, my steps stopped, and there seemed to be a sense of emotion in the dark.
A strand of love floated in the air, hovering above Fahai's head, refusing to dissipate.
Fahai shook his head and said, "After all, I can't escape the evil fate."
But this fate cannot be forced, so you can only take one step at a time.
The red and pink skeletons, the beautiful bones, cannot be overcome by the world, and the great way is hard to find.
It was midnight and the rain stopped. Fahai found a slightly dry forest land, cleaned up, and fell asleep.
I slept until the morning of the next day and looked up.
The thread of love is still floating above my head.
Fahai could only turn a blind eye.
I found the water source and cleaned it carefully, took out the razor, and scraped the fine velvet hair growing on my forehead.
Then I searched for the memories in my mind.
He must first know where this is?
After thinking hard for a long time, I finally gained nothing.
Another bitter smile.
The former Fahai was really a fool.
After traveling for three years, I didn't even ask about the road. I just endured hunger and hunger all the way, and fought wherever I went, killing demons and eliminating demons.
It also specializes in wilderness.
I don't even know where I go.
In desperation, I could only find a way down the mountain and walk forward.
I walked until noon and saw some farmland on both sides. I guess there was a village nearby.
Walking further, I saw a white-haired father-in-law hoeing the field.
Fahai walked up and sang the Buddha's name: "Master, where is the realm of this place?"
When the father-in-law heard this, he looked at him timidly, and replied, "I am just a mountain citizen here, and I have no food, rice and flour. I have treated my master badly."
Fahai said: "It's okay, I've had vegetarian food this morning just to ask for directions. Does my father know where this place is?"
"Here is called Shiquan Mountain."
Fahai asked: "Where is the boundary? Do you know which state and which prefecture?"
The father-in-law pointed at the foot of the mountain. About dozens of miles away, there was a city and said, "It's Pingshan, Xushui County. Are you asking this?"
"Pingshan? I'm sorry, the place name is bigger, which mansion is it? Which one?"
The father-in-law replied casually: "Zhending Mansion, Hebei Road."
Fahai increased his forehead with his hands.
This guy is really a fool.
After three years of traveling, I actually hiked thousands of kilometers from Jiangsu to Hebei?
The key is to die or not, and reach the border of Song and Jin?
He cursed in his heart, then noticed something, frowned slightly.
What are the old rural farmers here who have any insights?
Most of them are just asking questions and not knowing each other.
But can it accurately reveal the place name of the state prefecture?
"I dare to ask my father-in-law, how many years is it now?"
The father-in-law didn't even think about it: "Xuanhe has been in the past four years."
"Fourth year of Xuanhe?"
Fahai was even more surprised. He used his eyes and looked at the old man carefully.
It's indeed a human being.
Could it be that some powerful monster can escape the sight of his magical powers?
Fahai's eyes turned cold: "I dare to ask my father-in-law, why do you know so clearly?"
The old man noticed something strange, and for some reason he committed a crime, and knelt down in a panic: "Master, please calm down. I am a military household under the Guangxin military system. Both children serve in the army. I am also a civilian. I have never done anything that is harmful to the world."
Fahai suddenly realized.
This makes sense.
He quickly helped his father-in-law up and apologized repeatedly.
The father-in-law stood up, still afraid, pointed to the foot of the mountain and said, "Do you need me to lead the way for the master?"
"No need, I'll bother you, I'll take a rest here for a while."
After saying that, he found a stone and sat down, looking at the flat mountain at the foot of the mountain. On the official road, there seemed to be a group of hunched refugees, dragging their children and staggering.
An old-fashioned sigh arose.
"Troubled times, troubled times!"
This long sigh not only contains the desire to save the world by monks, but also the sadness of a time traveler who is foresighted.
After the Tan Yuan alliance, Renzong succeeded to the throne and Fengshan Mountain. The subsequent emperors all valued literature and neglected military officials, and they were all over the world, and they were extravagant and eager to play.
The five ghosts acted, the six thieves were in power, the government was in chaos, and the national letters were poured out thousands of miles away.
And at this time, the fourth year of Xuanhe.
Fahai calculated with his fingers that according to AD, it should be 1122, the third year of the Maritime Alliance.
Before the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, the Jin Kingdom rose again.
In the current territory of the Song Dynasty, there are Khitans, Hu people, Xi people, and Jin soldiers wearing bows and armor everywhere. They are rampant on the territory of the Song Dynasty, smashing, looting and burning in broad daylight, and killing people at any time.
The poor, the elderly, weak, women and children, and the officials and gentry were killed as long as they didn’t like them.
And Song Bing did not dare to stop him at all.
As soon as the war disaster came, man-made disasters came, bandits raging, and powerful bandits from all walks of life rose up, hungry corpses lay all over the ground, and refugees begged for their lives, which was a terrible sight.
It's not far from the destruction of the country.
Fahai looks out at Dingzhou Prefecture in front of him.
It’s better to arrive in the city, there are two Buddhist temples in charge, chanting scriptures every day to save the dead souls.
It’s a problem outside the city. There must be demon fog in the dense forest, and there are mass graves everywhere.
The father-in-law was very afraid, afraid that the monk would kill people suddenly, shook his mind, took out half a piece of dry food from his arms, and handed it over the stream with the gourds: "Master, can you have lunch?"
Feeling his father-in-law's fear, Fahai felt guilty.
He took his dry food over, but only broke off his fingers as big as his size.
He said, "I have received your alms, so I am destined to be destined to do so. I am a monk and have no body. I will give you some blessings on my behalf."
Use the mysterious skill with your hand and press it on your father-in-law's head.
My father-in-law's eyes gradually became turbid and he looked drowsy.
After a while, I became more and more energetic, my back straightened, and the wrinkles on my face that were like potholes faded a little at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A hint of blood was also revealed on his face.
The whole person became ten years younger in an instant.
The father-in-law was so excited that he could not speak, and he could not speak. He recited the Bodhisattva of Life, and threw himself to the ground and kowtowed nine times, bursting with tears.
Fahai helped his father-in-law up: "Don't be excited, monks are compassionate. You have no evil karma in your body. There is a trace of Buddha's energy hidden on your head. I believe there is a Buddha silhouette at home to worship it every day. I should be here today. I will ask another question, are there any spider nests, large monsters, caves, etc. nearby?"
The father-in-law said yes, yes.
"There is a forest on this Shiquan Mountain, with many wild willow trees growing inside. Willow catkins are flying all year round. Ordinary people are circling around inside, and they are covered with all over the body and are easily lost. Master wants to go here? I'll lead the way for you."
Fahai nodded, that's it.
What are the flying catkins? They are clearly secretions from spiders that spiders use to cover people's ears and eyes.
He is now eager to know the origin of the spider spirit.
To find out which Bodhisattva was guilty of sin, then go to the Buddha to apologize.
Completely put this matter down.
"Okay, can you do this matter, my father?"
"You can go, you can go."
