Chapter 43: The Monk
Before the old lady could continue to speak, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and a sharp female voice came.
"Third Aunt, how can you bring a stranger into your home so casually? What if he is a bad person?"
As the sound got closer and closer, a chubby hand opened the bedroom door curtain, and then a long, bucket-like woman, who looked to be about 30 years old, barged in directly.
He didn't care at all about the unhappy look on the old woman's face. He looked at the old woman sitting on the edge of the kang, holding Yu Cheng's hand, and immediately said sourly.
"Oh, he is a fair and tender young man after all. Even the third aunt can't resist the temptation. It is true that our village has not had a man for hundreds of years, but third aunt, you can't just rely on your seniority to monopolize it! Come on,
Hurry up and let me touch it too.”
As the saying goes, you can be as wild as you want, and when you say this, you will rush straight towards Yu Peng.
The old lady was not polite, picked up the wooden crutch next to her, and hit the woman without being polite.
"Xiaojuan, you shameless thing, get out of here!"
It's just that the old lady is old after all, and there was no reaction at all when the crutch hit the woman's chubby body.
Of course, Yu Peng couldn't let her come over. He raised his right hand and waved it in front of him, forming an invisible barrier to block the woman in front. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get through.
Then, he gave the woman a conscious command to calm down.
Although Yu Peng has done very little in this operation, he still has some skills.
It was the same when he was at home. The consciousness messages he sent to ghosts had a strong overpowering effect. Whatever he asked the ghost to do, he would do it. Although he rarely used it and thought it was a bit unethical, he still used it when needed.
Very convenient.
Seeing that the woman named Xiaojuan was not making any fuss, but was sitting calmly on the other side of the edge of the kang. The old woman thought it was her own deterrent effect, and hit the ground with her cane, angrily accusing Xiaojuan.
"You are so old, but you still don't look like a man. We haven't had a man in decades, so it won't make you so anxious. What are you talking about? Look at what is coming out of your mouth."
Yu Peng quickly reconciled the situation
"Grandma, don't be angry, don't be angry, what's going on after decades?"
The old lady was smiling a little when she heard Yu Peng talking, but when she heard what happened later, she suddenly started to get angry, and she became even more angry.
"What else could be going on? It's all the fault of these little bastards. They have made me, an old woman in her 80s, unable to die or live!"
The more she talked, the angrier she became. She continued to pick up her cane and hit the woman named Xiaojuan hard.
The smoothness and ferocity of his movements are nothing like that of an 80-year-old man.
Yu Peng was not in a hurry to ask, nor was he in a hurry to leave. He just watched the old man beating people and thought to himself.
Watching other people fight is also very enjoyable!
After the old lady finished arguing with that woman Xiaojuan, she finally had time to talk to Yu Cheng.
"This village..."
"Third Aunt, I heard that someone is coming from outside!"
"Third Aunt, what kind of person is here?"
"Third Aunt, is Third Aunt here?"
"Third Grandma!"
"Third Grandma, Third Grandma, can I come in?"
There was a lot of chaos and noise outside, giving the old lady and Yu Peng no chance to talk.
The old grandma looked helpless, with wrinkled skin on her face and full of hostility.
"Do you want to die? Get out of here! What a bunch of dogs, they know how to cause trouble every day. If it weren't for you bastards, would we be like this?"
There was no sound outside the door, but after a while, all kinds of small discussions exploded again.
Seeing this, the old lady immediately lost her inclination to continue the conversation. She moved from the edge of the kang to the ground, took Yu Peng's hand, and walked out.
"Forget it, I can't explain it clearly. Come with me and I'll tell you slowly."
When I walked out of the door, there was a large group of women and children standing outside. There were obviously a few more than when I first came in. It seemed that some of them were still in their own rooms at that time.
It only took a while for the news to spread, and everyone came out to watch the fun.
It seems that this is indeed the case in old rural areas. If something new happens, it won't take much effort to spread throughout the village.
The old woman shouted back the crowd, chased away a few children who had followed, and dragged Yu Peng into the largest house with a tiled roof.
“This is the house that used to belong to the caretaker’s family.”
Before entering the yard, the old lady just gave a brief introduction.
This house is different from other ordinary houses. Not only does it have walls and a large yard, but even the wooden doors and windows are all carefully designed.
Opening the door, the floor is also paved with blue bricks, which is flat and solid.
The living room is larger and there are more bedrooms. There is also a landscape painting hanging on the wall of the living room.
The old lady pulled Yu Peng directly into one of the bedrooms.
Before Yu Peng even entered the house, he felt that something was slightly wrong with the house, but he didn't have time to react.
After entering the house, the first thing that caught my eye was a monk floating on the bed in the bedroom.
floating
monk
Wearing a very traditional monk's robe, he is clean and tidy, with a round face and clean and fair skin.
Judging by his age, he should be around 20 years old.
If we just talk about appearance, he is no worse than Yu Peng after taking off his disguise.
Yu Peng's face was full of surprise, and he turned to look at the old lady beside him, his eyes full of doubts.
This bedroom was very large, and there were several chairs. The old lady found one of the chairs and sat down, leaning on her cane, she looked at the monk and said
"This matter must have happened in decades, but I can't say the exact time. At first, some people were calculating it, but later, as life went by like this every day, no one was too lazy to calculate it."
"It was a time of war, and all the men in the village were arrested and sent to fight. The rest, including us old women, children, and women who were ordinary-looking, because they were beautiful, were also arrested.
Gone"
"Then not long after, a group of monks came, also fleeing the disaster. They only stayed for a day. We gave them an empty house to live in and provided them with some food. When they were leaving the next day,
, this little monk saw that we all had some kind of disease, so he checked the pulses of a few of us villagers and prescribed medicine. Then he recruited a whole village of people at once
, they all came to see him. Actually, it’s not that they are all sick, they are just idle. No one has come to the village for a long time. The little monk just separated from their team. His original intention was to show us after watching.
We went to chase the big team, but who would have thought that just after noon, the little monk suddenly fell ill and couldn't walk. We took advantage of the situation and kept him here."
"After a few days of rest, I was basically feeling well. One night, there was a heavy rainstorm, with lightning and thunder. I didn't take it seriously. After all, every season in the village, there would be heavy rain and thunder, but
, the next day, something started to go wrong.”
Speaking of this, the old lady paused for a while before continuing.
"The next day, the weather was particularly sunny, and the air was also very clean. There was a bit of weirdness in the cleanness, but no one thought anything of it. Some people even went to say hello to the young monk, and found that the young monk was floating on the kang.
Before you can get close to him, everyone is new
Weird, I thought this was the appearance of the living Bodhisattva. We discussed it for a whole day, and then starting from the third day, everyone discovered the problem one after another. No matter what food, drink, or play, after one night, the second
The sky will return to how it was the day before.”
Speaking of this, the old lady seemed to think about it for a moment and continued.
"That's not entirely correct. It's not a return to the way it was the day before, but a return to the way it was the day after the heavy rain. At first, everyone was panicked and thought about finding the monk, but no one could get close to him.
, I couldn’t wake him up. Then some people wanted to escape. At this time, they discovered that the village was isolated by a barrier, and no one could get out, and no one could get in.”
"It's been like this for several years. Everyone was locked up here anyway, and then you came."
Speaking of this, the old lady stopped, looked at Yu Cheng for a while, got down from the chair, knelt down directly in front of Yu Cheng, and said
"Old lady, I don't have any other requirements. If you can walk in and go out at will, please be kind and take me out. I'm going to kowtow to you!"
Yu Peng watched the old lady kneel down, kowtow three times, and then kneel on the ground without any reaction.
Of course, the most critical reason is that Yu Peng didn't react at all.
By the time Peng came to his senses, the old woman had already finished kowtowing. Yu Peng jumped up in a hurry, avoiding the direction of the old woman kowtowing, and started to speak out loud.
"Grandma, grandma, don't, don't, don't, I can't, I can't knock, I don't, no, I mean, I can't take your head, no, no, no, no, I..."
Yu Peng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
"well…."
At this moment, a sigh rang in everyone's hearts, relieving Yu Peng's embarrassment, stopping the old woman's movements, and stopping the many women and children surrounding the house.
This voice came a bit suddenly and inexplicably. Yu Peng has always been very sensitive to this kind of voice coming from his mind. He knew that it was not spoken with his mouth, but the fluctuation of his mind, and the source
It's the monk floating on the kang.
Yu Peng first helped the old lady up and sat on a chair, then walked to the edge of the kang and observed carefully.
The robes worn by monks are very old-fashioned, but they are better than clean.
He has a solemn face, a round head and a round face, a tall and three-dimensional nose, and delicate facial features. Although his eyes are closed, he is so beautiful that Yu Peng can't help but take a few more glances.
The monk's body was suspended in the air about half a meter high. There was an invisible force surrounding him, forming an oval like a cocoon.
Yu Peng tried to put his hand over, but was blocked and couldn't reach in.
I tried wrapping my arm with spiritual energy again. Although there was still some obstruction, I was able to penetrate it.
Just when Yu Peng's hand wrapped in spiritual energy reached out to the monk, about 20 centimeters away from the monk, the monk suddenly opened his eyes.
