Big Bodhi [The Great Enlightenment] - Chapter 499

[Chapter 484]

Jiangzhou Prefecture, Jiangling County.

The rain is getting worse, the old temple eaves and the roof of the temple are crumbling, and the few remaining wooden boards make an overwhelmed sound from time to time, and it seems that they will collapse at any time in this heavy rain.

“It’s raining!”

With a squeak, the rotten wooden door was pushed open, and the biting cold wind swept in with the violent rain, almost extinguishing the fire under the Buddha statue in the temple. .

Sitting cross-legged beside the fire was a young beggar in ragged clothes. His bone age was only about ten years old, but there was a mature and calm expression on his face that did not match his age. When he saw someone coming in, he just frowned and then reached out to take it. Picked up a piece of firewood and put it into the bonfire in front of him.

The person who pushed the door and came in was a weak monster with a sturdy cow head. He was wearing a tattered armor, he closed the wooden temple door behind him, and sat down beside the beggar. He said with lingering fear: “It’s okay I found a place to shelter from the rain, otherwise I will die tragically under such a terrifying celestial phenomenon.

” Although the so-called “temple gate” is just a broken wooden board, it can slightly block the violent storm outside, following the little beggar. He kept putting firewood into the fire, and the inside of the narrow temple gradually warmed up.

The Tang Dynasty spanned a small half of Nanzhanbuzhou, and there were countless creatures under its control. Whether it was gods, demons, or Buddhas, saints and ghosts, they all had to abide by the regulations of the Tang Dynasty.

This bull-headed demon is obviously the coolest monster with the lowest status. Such a terrifying rain of celestial phenomena is coming. If it can’t find a place to hide from the rain in a short time, it is very likely that it will be directly soaked by the ghosts in the celestial phenomena. Spirit to die.

I don’t know how long it took, the cow-headed monster brought the huge cow’s head together while roasting a warm bonfire, and said with a smile: “Little brother, do you have food here? Old cow, I haven’t filled my stomach for three days.”

The fluctuations of the demon power above its soul are extremely weak, at most equivalent to the realm of returning to the true essence of ordinary creatures. Looking at the appearance of this monster, its body is obviously an ordinary beast. Even cultivating to the realm of half-transformation is an extravagant hope.

The little beggar glanced at the bull-headed monster, and said angrily: “I didn’t blast you out, it’s not bad to let you shelter from the wind and rain here. How dare you ask me for food?”

The cow-headed monster had a bitter look on his face, lowered his voice a little, and said sullenly: “Little brother, you will have pity on me, my old cow can’t do anything else, at least I have two strengths, when the wind and rain stop here, I will How about repairing this temple for you?” The

little beggar leaned lazily under the stone platform of the Buddha statue, squinting at the bull-headed monster, playing with an ordinary wooden talisman in his hand, and said, “If you continue to be entangled, , I will report to the county magistrate, and then…” The

bull-headed monster saw the wooden talisman, as if he was facing a great enemy, he directly pushed the golden mountain down the jade pillar and knelt down, his face full of fear. Color: “Little brother, wait! I’d rather starve to death, old cow, than bother you again!”

The territory of the Tang Dynasty was too huge, and there were countless creatures of all races living in it, and this wooden talisman, As long as you are in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, you can go to the state capital where you are located to receive it.

Once the wooden talisman is activated, the soldiers of the county and county where they are located will arrive here within a few breaths. If they perceive a violation of the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, these powerful soldiers have the full right to put it on the spot. beheaded.

The little beggar did not have the slightest cultivation base, but he was never afraid of the bull-headed monster in the half-transformation realm. It was precisely because of the existence of Jiangling Prefecture soldiers in the county.

That night.

The torrential rain is getting more and more rapid, and there is no sign of stopping. The crumbling temple makes a trembling “squeak” sound from time to time, and it seems that it will really collapse at any time.

By this time, there were even traces of water seeping out from three walls, and the dilapidated temple gate had long been filled with rainwater, and the bone-scraping cold wind made a harsh shriek, scrambling to pass through the wide door gap. , wantonly harvesting the little warmth left in the temple.

There were only a few pieces of firewood left under the Buddha statue, and the little beggar sneezed, obviously suffering from the wind and cold.

The little beggar stretched out his dirty arm, groped for a moment in the corner of a stone platform with less dust, and took out a small handful of dry and hard spirit valley.   He looked sideways at the sleeping bull-headed monster, and laughed to himself: “You stupid bull, can’t you see that I

am a poor beggar, these few spirit grains are my last ration.”

In the meantime, his gaze fell on the blood-stained arm of the bull-headed monster, he paused, a complex expression appeared in his expression, he stretched out his leg and kicked the bull-headed monster fiercely: “Don’t go to sleep again. It ‘s gone!” The

bull-headed monster woke up in a daze, muttering indistinctly: “Little brother, have you eaten yet?”

A monster like him, who was cultivated from beasts, couldn’t find blood and food in the Tang Dynasty at all, and was affected by The Great Tang’s luck is suppressed, and it is extremely difficult to even absorb the vitality of the heavens and the earth. Although it has the cultivation level of the half-transformed state, it still needs the Linggu Lingcao to fill its stomach, otherwise its original demon power will become weaker and weaker, and eventually the mind will be exhausted. Mourning, reincarnated as a beast.

The little beggar threw two dry and hard spirit grains and snorted coldly: “Eat it quickly.” The

cow-head monster smelled the fragrance of spirit grains between the nose and mouth, and immediately woke up and fell asleep, widening like a copper bell. His eyes, he grabbed the two spirit valleys in his hands, and hurriedly filled them into his mouth.

“Little brother, is there anything else?”

With a “gudu” sound, the bull-headed monster had already chewed and swallowed the two spirit valleys, and looked at the little beggar eagerly.

After seeing the few spirit valleys left in the little beggar’s hand, the bull-headed monster was stunned for a while, and his expression was a little dull, and said, “So you haven’t eaten…” The

little beggar casually put a spirit valley into his mouth, While chewing, he opened his mouth and said, “In my opinion, this heavy rain will last for dozens of days, and these few spirit valleys are not enough, it is better to fill your stomach, more or less can Come with me to relieve the boredom.”

Hearing this, the face of the bull-headed monster became extremely ugly, and he muttered: “Why does this heavy rain last so long! So, don’t you and I will die!?” The

little beggar snorted, He stopped speaking, leaned under the stone platform of the Buddha statue, and slowly closed his eyes.

The bull-headed monster stood up a little anxiously, and when he saw the fire that was about to go out, he couldn’t help but feel even more impatient.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the dilapidated Buddha statue on the head of the little beggar, and he couldn’t help but muttered: “Little brother, what kind of Buddha statue is this?”
