A group of people rushed to the gate of Fengcheng in a mighty way, chatting while walking, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed than before.
The Ma Gan youth took the initiative to tell Jiang Yanxiao about their experiences:
"We come from a small mountain village in the south, three days' journey away from here. Seven days ago, there was a flood, and the houses and fields were flooded. We really had no choice but to escape. We wanted to take refuge in Fengcheng, and asked the official for help."
"Yeah," the woman Jiang Yanxiao saw in mid-air earlier with a child on her back smiled bitterly, "We ran away in a hurry and didn't bring anything. The food and clothing were washed away by the water, and we couldn't take it with us."
"All the way is wasteland, there are no wild vegetables and fruits." The woman said, "If there is no more food, I am afraid that I will starve to death on the road."
"Flood?" Jiang Yanxiao raised his head to look at the bright sun in the sky, and squinted his eyes because of the sunlight, "It happened seven days ago? Only in your place?"
The woman opened her mouth and was about to say something when a white-haired old man beside him suddenly said, "What flood? It clearly offended the river god!"
Jiang Yan smiled: "River God?"
Mentioning the so-called "river god", the old man's face turned green and pale, and his lips trembled.His son supported him, patted the old man on the back, and explained to Jiang Yanxiao: "Our village is called Liuyang Village. It is located at the foot of the mountain. There is a river in front of the gate called Liuhe. The thing is like this..."
People in Liuyang Village have lived in the deep mountains for generations, relying on mountains to eat mountains, and relying on water to drink water.About ten days ago, the Liu River suddenly swelled, and when the river subsided, a dark wooden coffin appeared on the river bed.
This is not a good sign!After everyone found out, they were helpless around the coffin, but the coffin suddenly creaked, as if it wanted to lift the coffin lid, and then blood gurgled from the cracks in the coffin, dyeing the entire river bed red!
The villagers were terrified, and they didn't dare to touch the coffin. They only sent a few young and middle-aged men to guard it, and at the same time sent one person out of the mountain, intending to find monks and priests to perform the ritual.
The man planned to set off the next day, but in the early morning of the next day, a villager found his body on the river bed!
His head was buried in the sand, his mouth and nose were blocked, and he died of suffocation. His whole face was swollen purple, and there were signs of being bitten on his neck.
The person who found his body hurriedly went to report to the village chief, but when everyone rushed over in shock, there was nothing on the riverbed——the person's body had disappeared!
"From that afternoon onwards, our village was covered by dark clouds, and it began to rain heavily." The man had a bitter face, as if he did not want to recall the horrible scene, "I have lived most of my life, and I have never seen such heavy rain, just like ...like a hole in the sky!"
The heavy rain poured down and became more and more violent. In one night, the farmlands and villages were flooded.All the things in the house were washed away by the flood, and if they stayed there, they would either be drowned or be trapped to death.The villagers had no way out, so they had to move their families and seek refuge in Fengcheng, the nearest town to Liuyang Village.
In this way, he happened to meet Jiang Yanxiao.
The old man was still muttering about frying fish fry and tugging water plants in war... The man said: "Father, what are these and what! I don't think this is a river god at all, but a monster!"
"It makes sense." It seems that the villagers are quite clear-headed.Jiang Yan said with a smile: "The river god is a god, how can he eat people and harm others? How can there be blood coming out of the coffin of the god?"
"You did the right thing. There happens to be a Enci Temple in Fengcheng. Not only can we beg for food, but if we are lucky, we can also meet a master and ask him to kill demons."
Jiang Yanxiao's words gave the villagers a dose of reassurance.The young man said, "But where is the Enci Temple?"
"East," Jiang Yan pointed to the east of the city with a smile, "Let's try to go through the gate first, if we can't get through the gate, then enter the city in another way."
As Jiang Yanxiao expected, they were stopped by patrol soldiers before they approached the city gate.
"Who?!" The spear was erected, and the leading soldier raised his eyebrows and stared. "Is there a clearance certificate?"
"No." Jiang Yanxiao spread his hands, and said confidently, "They are villagers of Liuyang Village, and I am a beggar accompanying him. The monsters in Liuyang Village caused floods, and these villagers came to ask for help. You must not let us in. .”
The leading soldier seemed to have heard some joke, pointed at Jiang Yan and said with a smile: "The disaster victims? Are you lying to ghosts?!"
"I see you are all beggars! You belong to one gang!"
Everyone: "..."
"What should we do now?" The young man with the sticks asked Jiang Yanxiao in a low voice.
Jiang Yan touched his nose with a smile: "It seems that we can only go through the back door."
He raised the bamboo pole, pointing at the bamboo tips one by one: "What's the matter with the beggar? Being thrifty is easy to feed, I am a beggar and I am proud!" Jiang Yan stomped the bamboo pole with a smile, "If you don't enter, you can't enter, let's go!"
Jiang Yan waved his hand with a smile, and everyone seemed to have received an order, and they all turned their heads and left, returning the same way.
After walking for a while, making sure that the soldiers could no longer see them, Jiang Yanxiao immediately turned in another direction and said to the crowd, "Come on, let's go directly to the back mountain of Enci Temple."
The walls of a town can be thin or thick. Usually the gate is the most heavily defended, and the other sides are weaker and easier to break through.According to the task map provided by the system, Jiang Yanxiao went around to the east of Fengcheng and led the crowd to climb the mountain.
According to the original book, the Jokhang Enci Temple is located in Luojing, and other large and small Enci Temples are scattered all over the world.The Enci Temple in Fengcheng is located on this mountain.
Jiang Yanxiao and the others climbed to the mountainside, only to be stopped by a city wall.However, compared with the city wall at the city gate just now, this wall is much lower and built with earth bricks, which does not look very strong.
The golden elixir was running, Jiang Yanxiao gathered Qi with both hands, and punched it into the bamboo pole.Everyone saw that the young man faced the city wall and meditated for a moment, picked up the bamboo pole, and poked it on the city wall. With a sound of "Boom," a big hole was broken in the city wall!
Everyone: "!!!"
Jiang Yanxiao grinned at them: "Let's go!"
Jiang Yan smiled and showed such a skill, and everyone was even more convinced by him.After getting through the hole in the wall and climbing for a while, everyone raised their heads and could already see the pointed temple roof not far away in the shade.Just about to go all out to climb up, Jiang Yan said with a smile: "Stop."
Everyone didn't know why, and looked at him one after another.
Jiang Yanxiao took a few steps forward, exploring the way with a bamboo pole as he walked.After reaching the tenth step, the bamboo pole seemed to have encountered some kind of barrier and could not move forward an inch.
"There is an enchantment here, don't force your way in." Jiang Yan said with a smile, "I need everyone to cooperate to do a few things."
Everyone responded repeatedly.
Jiang Yan asked with a smile, "Have you ever been an extra actor?"
The villagers couldn't understand what he was saying and shook their heads hesitantly.
"That's it," Jiang Yanxiao gestured with a bamboo pole, "When I swing the bamboo pole out, all of you will cry loudly together. Be careful, the voice must be loud and loud so that it can spread far. It must sound miserable enough to make those who hear it sad. , whoever sees it weeps!"
Everyone looked at each other, and the young man said, "But... I can't cry."
"Simple. If you can't cry, just fake cry, rub your red eyes and howl." Jiang Yan laughed, "Of course, it's best to be sincere."
"Think about what you have suffered in the past few days - your hometown has been destroyed, you have left your hometown, you have toiled, you are exhausted... Finally arrived in Fengcheng, saw the dawn of hope, but was stopped outside the city gate by soldiers who looked down on people... "
Every time Jiang Yanxiao said a word, everyone's mood dropped a little.Speaking of the latter, someone began to sob softly.
"Very good, hold on." Jiang Yan smiled and waved the bamboo pole, "—cry!"
"Wow woo woo woo... We are so miserable..."
The ear-piercing cries pierced through the barrier and spread into Enci Temple.After a while, a little novice monk was summoned.
He was only about ten years old, dressed in a gray monk's robe, and his immature face was full of anxiety: "You guys, stop crying!"
The little novice walked faster and faster, and stopped at the barrier, "It's not that we don't want to do good, but that our temple has distinguished guests today, and it's really inconvenient to entertain you... Please don't cry, and come back after tomorrow... ..."
Jiang Yanxiao was not very satisfied with the summoned person: "What distinguished guest? Is our life important?"
"No, that's not what I meant!" The little novice choked, "That distinguished guest came all the way to my temple to cast spells, and the master specifically told me not to be disturbed by others..."
"Wow wow wow!!!" Suddenly there was a sharp cry from beside him, overshadowing the little monk's voice.The little novice had sharp ears and eyes, and heard a woman in the crowd whispering: "Little tiger, cry, cry hard! The louder you cry, the more we will have something to eat!"
Little novice: "..."
The master sent a brother to deal with this matter, but the brother left this task to him in order to listen to the master's lecture.The little novice was young and had little experience. He had never seen such a battle before, and when he was interrupted by the crying of the child, he was even more at a loss, and his face turned red.
Jiang Yan smiled persuasively: "Little master, have you ever thought that if the master were here, would he choose to continue casting spells or stop saving people?"
Little novice monk: "But...but..."
"All living beings have the virtue of good life, and monks are even more compassionate," Jiang Yan said with a smile, "I'd rather say it. But there are old people and children among us, and we haven't eaten for three days. If we wait for two more days, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive. In the past. Dare to ask who is responsible for the accident, do you really have the heart to do this?"
The little novice was forced to take a step back by Jiang Yanxiao's questioning, opened his mouth, and was thinking about how to defend himself, when a voice came from behind him.
"He's right."
Jiang Yanxiao's eyes lit up, and he looked at the person coming.The little novice turned around in astonishment, clasped his hands together and saluted: "...Master!"
A slender figure walked out from behind the shadow of the tree—a bright yellow monk robe, a red cassock on his shoulders, and a tin rod with twelve gold rings in his hand, which was a bit more solemn than what he had seen before.
His brows were still so gentle, and his eyes swept across the crowd, as if there was a strange power that comforted everyone.
The cry immediately weakened, and everyone opened their eyes wide, staring blankly at the person coming.
At the same time, a mechanical voice sounded in Jiang Yanxiao's mind: [Ding Dong, the second master has been detected! 】
[Compassion, known as the great virtuous monk, the living Buddha, is the abbot of the Jokhang Enci Temple, and the best friend of the sword sage Li Xuanqing. 】
[The host please remember the task - the host needs to worship compassion as a teacher, do good deeds every day, and shave to practice.At the same time, you should proficiently recite at least three volumes of Buddhist scriptures and master at least one trick. 】
[If you can't memorize it, you can copy it, smile, I like you! 】
