Beauty Jianghu

Chapter 181 A message delivered in a dream

This Mari is young and stupid by nature, how could he establish the Almighty Cult?

It turned out that Ma Rui was from Qianshan, Anhui Province. Last year, his parents both contracted the plague and died.

Ma Rui then went to live with his three uncles to support him.

Ma Rui was young, ugly, and very stupid. The three uncles' families didn't like him, so he had to take turns begging for food in these three families.

But he was too young to do farm work and could not support himself, so he had no choice but to shamelessly go around asking for leftovers from his boss's house and the west's house, hoping he would not starve to death anyway.

On this day, Ma Rui fell ill and had a high fever. The three uncles were afraid of spending money to hire a doctor and left him to fend for himself. Later, when he saw that he was seriously ill and lay motionless in bed for several days, he was afraid that it would be bad luck for him to die at home, so he kicked him out of the house.

This Ma Rui had a high fever and was so dizzy that he thought he was going to die, so he walked north along the Qianshan Mountain, stumbling, and when he was tired, he lay down on the grass to rest. Seeing that he was pitiful, some passers-by gave him some food so that he did not starve to death.

He woke up and continued walking forward. After walking for several days, we only covered twenty miles.

On this day, I became seriously ill. When I touched my face, it felt like it was burning like coals. I could no longer hold on and thought I was going to die today.

Seeing a small mountain temple in the valley, he leaned forward and trudged to the temple. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he plunged into the temple and fell asleep.

This is a small temple. Ma Rui's head rests on the inside of the temple, but his two thin legs are exposed outside the temple. I slept like this for several hours, not to mention passers-by, not even a rabbit came by.

After Ma Rui fell into a coma for several hours, he suddenly had a dream. Although he had a fever, he still understood that he thought he was dead and had come to the underworld.

He was not afraid, he sat up, he was still in the temple, but the temple became very wide, bright and a little dazzling.

Ma Rui sat with her eyes squinted, feeling refreshed and cool, and her body no longer had a fever.

He opened his eyes and looked around, only to see an old man with a white beard sitting opposite him, looking at him kindly.

He had been hungry for several days and wanted to ask his grandfather for some food. When he was thinking about how to open his mouth to speak, he suddenly felt that he was not hungry.

He was very stupid to begin with, and he just looked at the old grandpa dreamingly without knowing a word to say hello.

The old man with the white beard didn't think it was strange. Instead, he smiled and said to him: "Silly boy, what's your name?"

"My name is Mari."

"What a name! But why are you sleeping in this broken mountain temple?"

This is what happened to Ma Rui when his parents died and he lived with his three uncles. He was sick and was about to die. He was afraid that he would be unlucky if he died at home and was kicked out by them, so he came here. Tell the old man.

The old man with white beard sighed after hearing this, "Poor..."

This Ma Rui was stupid and didn't respond. Instead, the old man with a white beard said, "Ma Rui, we are destined to meet each other. Are you willing for me to pass on two scriptures to you?"

"I can't read any scriptures."

The old man said: "My scriptures are simple, you can recognize the words as soon as you read them."

"Oh." Mari didn't believe it and looked at the grandfather blankly.

The white-bearded old man said: "My scriptures are not easily passed on to others. One is magic and the other is doctrine. Are you willing to learn it?"

"I do." Ma Rui didn't understand either. He said that he wanted to give him a book, but it couldn't be used as food or money. The old man said it was a gift, so he nodded in agreement.

When the old man saw that he agreed, he said: "This book of mine is a good way to save the world. If you take it, you must save the world and save people and benefit the people. Do not benefit yourself at the expense of others or do evil. Otherwise, you will receive a great retribution, even worse than what you are receiving today." The pain will be three points higher, can you remember it well?"

"Remember it."

The old man said: "My scriptures are placed under the mountain god's seat. You can pick them up and read them yourself."

After that, there was a flash of white light, and the old man with the white beard disappeared.

Ma Rui was sitting alone in the temple, with his two thin legs still stretched out outside the temple door. His mind was in a daze. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. What a strange dream!

But I feel much more comfortable, I touch my head, and there is no fever anymore. I am full of joy, I am not dead yet! I had a dream and my illness was cured.

Ma Rui was sitting in the temple. The bright moonlight of the autumn night was shining slantly, and everything was clear, just like daytime. There was silence around him, and the insects in the grass were chirping.

No wonder it was so bright in the dream. It turned out to be the moonlight shining into the mountain temple.

Ma Rui was sitting in the mountain temple. Although he was hungry and very uncomfortable, he did not go out to look for food. He was still thinking about the strange dream he had just had.

Thinking of the two books given to him by the old man with white beard, this dream seemed to be real.

Ma Rui thought for a while, but since he had nothing to do, he put his hand under the mountain god's seat. Unexpectedly, when I touched it, I felt something inside the base. Wasn't it just a dream? If only there was something to eat!

Ma Rui quickly took out the things. Under the moonlight, they found two scriptures. It was not food, which disappointed him very much.

But I can’t read either. Grandpa took pity on me. Why didn’t he give me something to eat? Even if you give some money as a gift, you can use it to buy food.

Ma Rui sat outside the temple door, holding a scripture and reading it in the moonlight.

How strange!

I actually know a few words in this scripture!

The name of that scripture turned out to be "The Almighty Teaching Sutra"

This sutra is not thick, it is thin, only about twenty pages long. Ma Rui carefully opened the first page and took a closer look. He could actually recognize these tadpole characters one by one.

He seemed to have become smarter. I wonder if it was the old man with white beard who gave him a hint, or if he had a high fever and woke up his brain? Not only can he recognize the words, but he can also understand the meaning of the books.

This is the teaching of the Almighty Cult.

Ma Rui looked at it twice and lost interest.

He didn't cherish it either, since it couldn't be used as food anyway, so he kept it under the stock of Pizheng.

He picked up another scripture, this was the second volume, and it was also a thin volume, with only about twenty pages. When he opened it, he could recognize the characters, so he read them one by one.

This book records some magic spells, and Ma Rui read them with great interest.

He took a rough look at it, and when he looked back, he understood it in his mind, and actually remembered it all. He felt very strange. He was the stupidest person in the Ma family. People usually either made fun of him for being ugly or making fun of him for being stupid.

Unexpectedly, this night, I could not only read but also memorize it. He was in a daze when a gust of breeze blew and hit the second volume of scriptures placed on the ground. The scriptures suddenly spread out one by one, flying like butterflies.

Ma Rui hurriedly grabbed it, but he couldn't catch one. These butterfly-like pieces of paper were flying in front of his eyes, and they all flew away in an instant.

Ma Rui was a little discouraged, but when he thought that he already remembered the lesson well, it no longer felt like a pity.

At this time, it was almost dawn, and Ma Rui was so hungry that he took out the first volume of scriptures from under his stockings, put them in his arms, and left the mountain temple.

After walking out of the mountain, there were also people who got up early on the mountain road. Ma Rui followed these people, endured hunger, and walked north.

After walking straight for half an hour, I saw a large market town ahead. In the thick fog of the autumn morning, there were crowds of people and the sound of business going on. It must be a market. Where there is a market, there are restaurants, and Ma Rui is so hungry that he can't even walk a step.

Mari walked closer with difficulty and could already smell the aroma of the food. His stomach was even more painful with hunger, but he didn't have a penny in his pocket. He wouldn't open his mouth to beg, and people wouldn't give alms to a beggar.

Ma Rui was feeling sad when he suddenly thought of the spells in the scriptures he had read. He immediately became energetic. He walked aside and saw a few pebbles on the side of the road. He didn't know if the spells were effective. Anyway, he tried changing them. .

Ma Rui looked at these few pebbles and tried to recite the formula according to what was written in the scriptures. After reciting a few sentences, he secretly shouted: "Change!"

But it's strange, those few pebbles rolling around in the grass nest really turned into a few pennies.

Ma Rui rushed forward and grabbed the few pennies in his hand. He was really overjoyed.

Ma Rui's eyebrows were full of joy, he held the few coins and ran towards the market.

There was a restaurant in front, with steaming, white steamed buns waiting for me.

Ma Rui took three steps and two steps at a time and ran closer. However, he saw that the few pennies in his hand had turned into a few pebbles at some point.

Ma Rui panicked at this moment and hurriedly recited the formula. The pebble rolled in his palm and turned back into money.

Ma Rui was afraid that it would change again. After catching up a few steps, he handed the money to the shopkeeper and shouted: "I want five buns. Hurry! Hurry!"

The shopkeeper took the money and threw it into the bamboo basket without even looking at it. He took five buns and handed them to Ma Rui.

Ma Rui took the steamed bun. The steamed bun was still very hot when it was freshly released from the cage. He didn't care about it anymore. He took the steamed bun and ran away quickly. He was afraid that the money would turn back into pebbles, which would be a good beating in return.

Ma Rui ran out of the town in one breath, found a hiding place, took a few steamed buns, and wolfed them down.

Soon the five steamed buns were in his stomach. Ma Rui touched his stomach and said to himself: "Even if I get through today, I won't starve to death."

Ma Rui has the magic to turn stone into gold, so he will not starve to death on this journey north.

On this day, I came to a county in the north. The first thing he thought about was eating. He walked to the restaurant. The restaurant was full of diners. He didn't dare to go in and sit and eat. If someone found out that the money was fake, wouldn't he be beaten?

He bought a few steamed buns stuffed with meat and ate them while walking.

I have been eating comfortably these days, and I have forgotten that money will turn back into pebbles. He was walking and eating peacefully like this, when suddenly, a group of people rushed over behind him, shouting.

Ma Rui turned around and looked around. Judging from this posture, they must be coming towards him. The money must have turned back into pebbles. Those people were coming with a fierce force, and he definitely couldn't escape.

Ma Rui was so frightened that he could not move his legs.
