There is no sun or moon in the mountains, and the world has been around for thousands of years.
Bai Ye regained consciousness, opened his eyes, and saw the situation clearly in just a moment. This was a dilapidated Buddhist temple, which had been abandoned and had no use of incense.
A group of skinny and ragged children walked into the temple sparsely. A little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, holding a pottery bowl with a chipped mouth, trotted up to Bai Ye, nervously asked: "Are you awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
For a little girl who begs for a living, such a question should not have come out of her mouth long ago, just like you said If you feel uncomfortable, she will take you to see a doctor.
Other beggars of about the same age are scattered around, guarding the food they have begged for, either eating or taking a nap.
Bai Ye shook his head.
"This steamed bun is for you. It's a bit rancid, so bear with it and eat it!" The little girl handed over the bowl in her hand and pursed her lips, as if she was reluctant to give up and felt inferior.
Bai Ye glanced at it, reached out to take the pottery bowl, took out the only half of the steamed bun inside, broke it gently, divided it into two portions, put one portion back into the bowl and handed it to the girl.
Then he took a bite of half of the steamed bun in his hand. It had a bit of a sour taste. After swallowing it, he gestured to the little girl to sit down next to him. While chewing the steamed bun, Bai Ye asked about the situation: "What is this place? You know "?"
There is no loss of memory. He remembers everything that happened, but there are some things that make him very confused, such as why he appeared in this strange place.
The little girl looks pretty and pretty, but she is too thin and her clothes are obviously too big. She is a person who has endured hardship.
Looking like she was too hungry, the little girl took two bites of the steamed buns, looked around, and then answered him softly: "This is Wujiang County. A year ago, the officers and soldiers fought in the county seat. Those people burned, killed, and looted. , we all fled from the city and had no money, so we had to beg to survive."
"My name is Murong Mingzhu, what about you?"
"Bai Ye!"
Wujiang County, judging from the map that the master brought back from outside the mountain, is one day and one night's journey from Mount Tai, and now it is at the focus of the battle between the two kings.
"Where are your relatives? Why don't you go and seek refuge with them?" Knowing the situation at this time, Bai Ye started to care about the little girl.
From her speech and behavior, Bai Ye could tell that the little girl had an unusual family before. She was able to see the situation clearly in troubled times, which was very different from the common people who worried about eating every day.
The little girl's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she said calmly: "Those relatives who used to fawn over us now treat me like snakes and scorpions, saying that I am a broom star..."
Those relatives who once fawned over her family are now afraid to avoid her family when they see it in trouble. After this incident, the little girl has experienced the warmth and warmth of human nature.
I would rather be begging for a living and have no one to rely on. During this period of time, the little girl feels that her life is easier than living under someone else's roof and being looked down upon by others.comfortable.
The sky outside the temple was terrifyingly gloomy. The little girl huddled up next to the altar table, hugging a broken bowl and falling asleep. Her thin clothes were not enough to keep out the cold in the winter, and her petite shoulders were trembling.
Bai Ye took off his clothes and covered her, walked to the entrance of the temple and sat down on the ground. The cold wind mixed with the biting cold of snow and water slapped on his body, and his nerves were particularly clear.
He had a vague feeling that there was a mysterious big hand behind his back controlling the trajectory of his life. This feeling suddenly appeared when he woke up in the temple.
If he did not set foot on Mount Tai and listened to Wang Hua and went directly to Beiliang to find King Xu, the situation would definitely be different.
King Xu of Northern Liang is a ruthless character. He is the only king with a different surname in the Qin Empire. He has many capable men and strong soldiers and horses. Even if the world is in chaos, no one will go to him to cause trouble.
Bai Ye has a plan in mind. He will enter the county town at dawn to prepare dry food for the road and then hire a carriage.
However, money is an important issue. Wang Hua brought back a few pieces of gold from outside and gave it to him to cultivate his attributes.
"I wonder how much this gold is worth and whether it is enough." Bai Ye thought to himself.
Gold is called the essence of the earth and contains some metallic power. This power is sharp and indestructible. Many swordsmen are awakened to the metallic power.
It is extremely difficult to awaken attributes. Those who can awaken attributes are all unparalleled geniuses, become famous all over the world, and enter the legendary holy land of monasticism.
As for what attributes are and how to awaken them, Wang Hua didn’t teach them, and Bai Ye didn’t know either.
If the young emperor had not sought immortality ten years ago and pursued the art of immortality, Penglai, Abbot, Kunlun and other holy places of the Immortal family would still be in a state of seclusion and unknown to the public.
Bai Ye has never left the village and has no understanding of the outside world. The value of gold has no practical value to ordinary people.
The attribute power contained in it cannot be absorbed by mortals.
"Hmm... so cold"
A soft hum as thin as a mosquito interrupted Bai Ye's thoughts. He quickly walked to the little girl and squatted down, and found that The little girl's expression was a little painful, so she put the back of her hand on the little girl's seal to explore.
"Fever!"
Bai Ye frowned. Mortals are constantly tortured by birth, old age, illness and death, struggling in the world. Even the legendary ascetics cannot escape the heaven. People are in decline.
Bai Ye picked up the little girl by the waist and found that the girl had no weight at all, was skinny and light.
After glancing at the other little beggars in the temple, Bai Ye carried the little girl out of the door, and ran towards the nearest medicine shop as the sky started to turn white.
The little girl was still not honest in Bai Ye's arms. She was moaning and slurring her words. She held the clothes on Bai Ye's chest tightly with both hands and refused to let go.
After a while of galloping, against the heavy snow, with no time to drink tea, Bai Ye rushed to the eaves of a medicine shop and put the little girl down.Holding his left hand around his waist, he tilted his body slightly to the right, letting her head rest on his chest, and knocked on the door of a drug store with his right hand, so eagerly.
Under the moonlight, perhaps Bai Ye didn't notice that the little girl's complexion gradually improved, and her frown slowly relaxed.
The corners of the little girl's mouth seemed to have a faint arc.
"Who is it? You are not allowed to sleep!"
A rush of footsteps followed by a few yawns, the door creaked open from the inside, and a waiter The well-dressed thin man rubbed his sore eyes, glanced at the two of them, then turned around and walked inside, lazily saying "Follow me"
Perhaps it was because Bai Ye and the two of them didn't seem to be together. He was a rich man with simple clothes and a very casual attitude, but Bai Ye didn't care. He just wanted to get the medicine for the little girl as soon as possible. Only after taking the medicine could he feel at ease.
Enter the inner hall, the clerk walked to the counter, stretched his body, leaned on the counter and asked, "Tell me! What's wrong with you?"
Bai Ye stretched out his hand and got close to the little girl. When I touched my forehead, I felt that the high fever was almost gone, so I probably didn’t need to take any more medicine. I must have said to the waiter in my heart: "Give me some herbs that warm and nourish the body, to replenish qi and blood!"
Long-term nutrition The poor girl was as skinny as a stick because of her poor health. Bai Ye felt very distressed, secretly thinking that things were very difficult in the world.
I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times!
