Chapter 7 Back to the Temple
There are more than a hundred pergolas, but there are more people requesting to be included. Each pergola is surrounded by people, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and it is impossible to squeeze in at all.
In desperation, Nanfeng could only wander around the periphery. Because he didn't recognize words, he didn't know which sect was in the pergola. However, one thing was obvious, that is, the pergola with purple banners was the most people in front of it, and then the dark blue one, and the fewest people were the pergola with dark red banners. However, even if the number of people was the least, there were dozens of people. These people racked their brains to want others to accept themselves as their disciples.
In order to achieve their goals, these people do everything they can do, but the methods they use are similar and can be roughly divided into three categories. One is to gain sympathy, such as those who bear deep hatred and endure humiliation, those who have broken family and die, and those who have illnesses in the near future. In short, they try to say that they are miserable.
Originally, Nanfeng felt that he was already in a miserable state, but compared with these people, he felt that he was just a lucky person. There were so many people who were miserable than him in the front, and he was embarrassed to squeeze in with no shortage of arms and legs.
Another type is to show loyalty, to flatter and flatter, to swear, to rebirth, and to be grateful to parents, and to be as heavy as a mountain. Before the other party agreed to accept them, he began to remember them and would never forget them.
These words are enough to make Nan Feng get goose bumps, and he can't even say anything even if he beats him to death.
Another type is ambition and ambition, which is to take peace in the world as one's own responsibility, and to save the people from water and fire, which is to speak of the righteousness of the sky and the passion of the sky.
When encountering such a person, Nanfeng dared not stay around the shed. This is a taboo. If the emperor hears it, it would be strange if he doesn't catch it.
Although each sect attending has a shed, not every sect recruits disciples, and some do not accept one, one chases one, and does not give the other party a chance to speak.
However, there were also some people who were collected, and many of them were collected. The monks' sects received the most people. In their words, sentient beings were equal, and all sentient beings could become Buddhas. Regardless of men, women, young and old, no matter how high or low the understanding, they would not refuse. In a moment, hundreds of people were collected. I don’t know if these people would run away when they were about to shave their heads.
After a few rounds, Nanfeng gave up the idea of joining the sect. Although he was a beggar, he had the backbone and was ashamed to be with these people.
After confirming that Lu Pingchuan and others were not here, Nanfeng left the venue. He originally wanted to watch the competition, but now he has no interest in watching the fun. The atmosphere of the Dharma Assembly itself is wrong. It is not a harmonious atmosphere at all. Taoist monks and martial artists do not accept anyone. He gathered together just to compete for the fragments of the Heavenly Book.
He was not interested in the fragments of the heavenly books at all. First, he didn't know what the fragments of the heavenly books were, and furthermore, he couldn't even understand the books on earth, let alone the books on the heavenly books.
After leaving the noisy venue, Nanfeng felt extremely quiet, and then he began to consider where he went. The thing he wanted to do most was to go back to Xicheng to inquire about the news, but now it was daylight and he didn't dare to go back, so he had to wait until evening.
He is wearing new clothes now, and no one thinks he is a beggar even if he is lying under the shade of the tree. He didn't sleep well last night and slept until the evening.
After waking up, Nanfeng began to wander westward and only ate one cake a day. He was already hungry, but he didn't buy food in Dongcheng. The reason was very simple. The things in Dongcheng were expensive, and the same square hole money, so you could buy two cakes in Xicheng, but you could only buy one in Dongcheng.
In fact, the Taoist nun left a lot of money in the purse, and there were a few dollars of silver. The silver was very expensive at this time. One tael of silver could be exchanged for eight hundred copper coins, but he did not dare to use this money indiscriminately. This was not for himself, but for Changle, Lu Pingchuan and others. He did not know whether his brothers and sisters had been caught by the government. If he was caught in the bad luck, he could use money to redeem them. At this time, money was omnipotent. Not only could he buy food, accommodation, but he could also openly redeem people from the government.
When he arrived at the junction of Dongcheng and Xicheng, he changed the route northward and walked around from the north to the area where the Pure Temple was located. There was a small Tushan behind the Pure Temple, and he hid on the Tushan and waited for the darkness.
Half an hour later, night fell, and Nanfeng picked up a string of grasshoppers and carefully approached the ruined temple from behind. He had been observing the situation around the ruined temple before, but he did not find anyone entering or leaving, but this does not rule out the possibility of someone lying in it.
The temple is very quiet, with only the chirping of autumn insects around it.
Ordinary houses have rear windows, but the temple does not have rear windows. If you want to observe the situation in the temple, you can only go to the front.
Before heading to the front door, Nanfeng tightened his shoelaces. If someone lies in the temple, he can run faster.
Nanfeng moved to the front door carefully. Although the temple was very dark, he could vaguely see that there was no one inside. The temple was so big that the statue was very close to the back wall, and there was no one behind it.
"They are gone."
The sudden sound made Nanfeng burst into tears. He jumped three feet away and ran away. After a few steps, he remembered that the sound was familiar. When he recalled, it was the blind man last night. The blind man was still sitting in the place where he sat last night. The place looked inside from the door, which was a dead corner, so he didn't see the blind man just now.
"Old sir, is it you?" Nanfeng confirmed it before going back.
"It's me." The blind man's voice came from the hall.
Nanfeng moved back, picked up the string of grasshoppers from the door, walked over the threshold and entered the hall, " "Why haven't you left yet?"
"I went out during the day and had no place to stay at night, so I came here to stay for another night." said the blind man.
"You're here just right, I have something to do..."
Before Nanfeng could finish his words, the blind man answered, "The people from the government office came in the morning, and your friend had already left before that."
Nan Feng felt relieved when he heard this, "Did they say where they were going when they left?"
The blind man shook his head.
Because it was too dark, Nanfeng didn't see the blind man shaking his head. He thought he didn't hear it clearly, so he asked again.
"No, they left in a hurry." said the blind man.
Nanfeng didn't ask again and began to figure out what to do next.
"Where did you go during the day today?" The blind man reached out and dismantled his baggage.
"I'm going to Dongcheng to see the meeting." Nanfeng said. It was already dark at this time and it was time to find a place to sleep, but he didn't dare to sleep in the dilapidated temple. If the government fired a shot, it would block him.
The blind man took a steamed bun from his bag and handed it to Nanfeng, "Who are you with?"
"Thank you, I'm not hungry, you can eat it yourself." Nan Feng pushed the steamed buns handed over by the blind man back. In fact, he was very hungry, but he couldn't bear to eat the blind man's food.
The blind man did not hand it over again, but he did not put the steamed bun back, but held it in his hand and asked again, "Didn't you tell me who you are with during the day?"
"How do you know that I'm with someone else?" Nan Feng asked in confusion.
The blind man smiled, "Not only do I know that you are with others, I also know that the other person is a woman."
Nan Feng was about to say, "Did you see us?", but after thinking about it, he swallowed this again. How could a blind man see something?
"Don't go to Dongcheng again, let alone see that woman again." said the blind man.
"Why?" Nan Feng never knew how the blind man knew who he was with during the day.
