Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 122
(39)

Sima Tu, the seemingly "Wugou" Taoist priest, greeted the three old acquaintances with a loyal face as usual, and claimed that he had learned the whole story from E Binghuan who was beside him.

In other words, Sima Tu readily accepted that set of rhetoric - that is, the two "brothers and sisters" Baifeng, as children of a down-and-out family, were worshiped under another powerful man.

Seeing that the three of Baifeng were looking at the "red lotus" lanterns floating on the Tianshui Pool just now, talking and laughing at Yanyan, they seemed to want to participate in it.Sima Tu naturally showed great hospitality and invited Bai Feng and others to receive his own lanterns.

After Baifeng and E Feiying heard about it, they both silently agreed, and readily agreed to the matter.Murong Yan was the only one who had an ambiguous attitude, and his words were not far-fetched.She tremblingly hid behind others, looking like a stranger, and only said softly: "I'll follow behind you..." Then she rolled up her sleeves, pretending to wipe the sweat on her face, Always buried his appearance.

Therefore, when he started to follow Sima Tu to the third pavilion in the Taoist temple, Bai Feng did not forget to express his apology for the disrespect of his "sister", and explained: "Sister She is born sentimental, and she never interacts with people often. , so I lost my composure, I hope the Taoist priest should not keep it in his heart."

Miss E Wu at the side also said kindly: "Sister Murong is indeed a bit timid, and when everyone gets to know each other well in the future, there is no need to worry about it."

"Pindao naturally didn't take it to heart." Sima Tu dragged his skirt, walked gracefully, and said, "But Young Master Bai and Miss E Wu have only known each other for a few days, and they have already begun to sing together? Hahaha... It's not in vain Pindao and Mr. E’s painstaking efforts. I still remember that young hero Bai volunteered to go to the battle that night. It must have been at that time that your Excellency fell in love with Miss E Wu at first sight, so you deliberately lost the battle just now? The E family is willing to be a cow or a horse, so sincere and sincere, it is really touching."

"Eh..." E Feiying couldn't help but looked at Murong Yan who was beside her, and exclaimed, "Master Bai... really thinks so?"

"Master Wugou, saying such words in front of Miss E...I am really ashamed and hard to answer." Bai Feng followed the trend and replied.

"Hahaha...it doesn't have to be like this. Mr. E is my best friend, his friend is also my friend. Back then, the poor were penniless, poor and white, and they all relied on Mr. E's help to get the court's favor. That's why E University is so close to me." The old man wearing a turban, wearing cloth shoes, with a shiny white beard and hair, and not tall, said with emotion: "Since Bai Shaoxia doesn't want to admit it, How about telling me the story of the string of bells on your body?"

After hearing this, Bai Feng stopped in his tracks, looked sideways at Murong Yan, looked at her eyes full of fear for a while, and then replied: "Why...why do you ask such a weird question?"

Sima Tu, who was leading the way, heard the sound of copper bells coming to an end abruptly. He turned around immediately and asked, "If Young Master Bai is not willing to answer, Pindao will not force him. I just heard about it in ancient books. ——There is a magical 'witchcraft' that uses special bells as a medium, so those 'wizards' usually carry bells with them. Once, Pindao also met someone who knew how to use such a witchcraft."

"Hahaha..." Bai Feng made an expression that he thought he heard some kind of joke, and replied: "Master Wugou is really worrying too much, the one on his body is just an ordinary 'horse bell'. There used to be a horse that I loved very much. He died for some reason, and to commemorate it, he tore off the 'horse bell' and carried it with him."

Sima Tu replied coldly, as if he had expected such an answer a long time ago, and said: "Oh, so that's the case, please forgive the impoverished nonsense." After finishing speaking, he continued to lead everyone on the journey.

They walked on the pool full of "red lotus" lanterns, and slowly moved to another place full of red lotus.It is said that the red lotus is the symbol of Taiping Dao, implying firm practice and endless life.Therefore, there is a special place for offering lotus in each Taiping Road sub-rudder, which is called "Lotus Pavilion".

The structure of the Lotus Pavilion is similar to that of the lotus, with the middle opening and the outer straight.Stepping over the threshold, you can see a pool of lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the center of the pavilion. The roof is not sealed and can be nourished by sunlight; it is surrounded by buildings with only one floor. The design is simple, which can be described as "no vines and no branches".Those young boys and girls came and went in and out of this pavilion, which was very lively.

At this time, there was a servant woman waiting by the lotus pond, Bai Feng and Murong Yan recognized her, they had seen her in E Binghuan's room before.The servant woman is making a "flower boat" from the picked red lotus, adding oil, wax and fire, and then presenting it to the faithful men and women who came.

She had a kind and kind smile on her face, looking at those people, including Bai Feng and the other three, as if she were her own child.

"Are you here?" The servant woman looked at Bai Feng and the others, and said, "Is there still Taoist Priest Wugou? I have seen Taoist Priest Wugou..."

Everyone asked hello one after another, and then Sima Tu said: "Please pick three red lotuses for these three predestined people."

After hearing this, the maid handed over the three prepared red lotus lanterns, and then smiled and sent away several predestined people.

Na Sima Tu continued to walk in the front, leading the three people behind.All the Taoist people who passed by him saluted respectfully and greeted him with two or three sentences.This caused the walking to be very slow along the way. Although it was only a short distance away, it seemed to have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers.

"Bai Shaoxia, do you feel that the so-called 'sacrificing to heaven' is just useless?" Sima Tu asked suddenly.

"Um... If you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't. Although I am not a Taoist monk, I have never lost my reverence for ghosts and gods." Bai Feng replied and said.

"Do you agree with what the doctor Zhang did?"

"Doctor Zhang? Healing the sick and saving lives, he did his job as a doctor."

"If it can be saved for a while, can it save the whole life?"

At this moment, Bai Feng seemed to understand what the other party was going to say - this was a blatant solicitation.

"The people who were hungry and helpless due to the lack of water and food due to the drought before, even if you help them disperse the plague, it is still the same - whether they are evil or good, whether they are respectful or humble, will not change. Therefore, Taiping Dao has the meaning of existence." After Sima Tu's discussion, they had arrived in front of Tianshui Pavilion before they knew it.

"Mr. Zhang is just a fool. He can't understand this truth. Naturally, he can't understand what the Taiping Dao has done." Sima Tu spread his hands towards the sea of ​​lights under the purple sky, and the red lotus petals made the person in the middle The candlelight was shining brightly, and he preached: "Hope is what people desire to have."

After speaking, Sima Tu cupped his hands and said goodbye, and walked into Tianshui Pavilion.

For some reason, Bai Feng, Murong Yan, and E Feiying put the lotus lantern in their hands on the Tianshui Pool, and then stopped on the edge of the pool, looking at the scene in front of them without saying a word, slowly His eyes froze slowly.

After recovering, it was already dark, and I just slowly walked back to the place where I received guests to eat and rest.
