I descend into the world of heaven - #878 - Chapter 872 A hurried life

When Ping Yun saw Chen Chu’s words, he couldn’t help laughing and said: “It is said that Taoists follow their hearts and follow the Tao naturally. As a Taoist priest, how can a Taoist priest be so rigid about yellow and white things and soil the friendship between you and me? In the past three days, we have The Taoist priest talked very happily, but if I want to gain something, it is because I, Ping Yun, took advantage…”

Chen Chu couldn’t resist, so he had to agree, and it wouldn’t be too late to repay the favor when he regained his strength.

The two of them were sitting in the private room on the second floor of the inn, drinking tea instead of wine. Here they could drink tea and chat, and also see the various sights of the market downstairs. Ping Yun seemed to be immersed in this atmosphere.

At this moment, the sound of gongs, drums and suonas sounded in the distance, which sounded familiar.

Chen Chu followed the sound and saw a team of a hundred people coming slowly from a distance. They looked familiar, so familiar. For no other reason than that they were a parade of gods.

The jitong wears a huge hood and serves as a guide. He jumps up and down and shakes his head with a whip in hand. He is so uncomfortable. He is followed by tall “gods”. The whole procession is solemn and lively, and the people on both sides of the road are praying. , hoping that the gods can bring good luck and eliminate bad luck.

The team is marching.

Suddenly a woman appeared from among the people, kneeling and crying, “Please God, please save my child!”

Everyone was stunned.

The parade also stopped, and there happened to be a man wearing a green robe, a green turban on his head, a red face and a long beard, holding a large sword. He was tall and looked down at the woman without saying a word.

The woman in her thirties looked like she had crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes, she was haggard, her eye sockets were sunken, and she was holding a two-year-old child in her arms. The child’s eyes were tightly closed and his breath was as thin as a thread. She saw that the team had stopped because of herself. He said with surprise and a hint of panic: “God save my little baby, the doctor said he is infected with tuberculosis… It is a chronic disease, but the body is too weak and endangers the root cause, and it becomes an acute disease. This… This is already in danger… …Please God for mercy!”

She couldn’t kowtow while holding the child, so she could only rub her knees on the ground and lean towards the Guan Yu actor.

Those who can play the role of gods are usually jitong. It can be said that they are the intermediaries between gods and mortals. However, this jitong only knows that since he was sensible, he has never heard of any gods appearing or miraculous things happening. Ji Tong stared blankly at the woman holding the child in her arms, and wanted to say a few words, but there were rules in the industry. Playing the role of a god was not allowed to speak at will…

Ji Tong was in a state of confusion, and the woman’s bloodshot eyes made him feel very uncomfortable. He held the Guan Dao tightly with the ten fingers of both hands, snorted softly, and swung the light knife to chop the woman’s shoulders, meaning to remove the bad luck and disease. The robe covered the woman and the child in a flash, which meant that the mother and child were protecting the second master Guan Yu!

He has played the role of Second Master Guan countless times. He didn’t feel anything wrong before, but this time he felt very pious and hoped that Second Master Guan could give him divine power!

Ji Tong took off his robe and slammed the long handle of his sword on the ground, majestic!

The “gods” who had just walked over came back again. They were spinning around the mother and child, which meant that the gods were watching. The lion dancers who were running back and forth along the team also came. The lion dancers used their strong arm strength to With his strong skills, he controlled the lion dance to jump up and down above the women and children…

They were all begging God for mercy.

Ping Yun, who was sitting in the private room of the inn, shook his head slightly and said: “There are no gods in this world. The so-called gods… are just people’s fantasies about the pain of their souls.”

Chen Chu looked at Ping Yun in surprise and said, “The Fate Master doesn’t believe in gods?”

Ping Yun hummed softly: “If the gods were alive, how could there be so many evil spirits and ghosts in this world? How could there be corrupt officials in the court, and how could there be bullies and thieves wreaking havoc among the people?”

Chen Chu didn’t speak anymore.

He turned to look at the woman downstairs again, and was silent for a while: “Pindao, go downstairs and take a closer look.”

Ping Yun said: “Taoist priest, be careful, tuberculosis can infect others…”

“No problem…”

Chen Chu was already walking down the stairs.

Ping Yun did not get up, but picked up the tea cup on the table and looked downstairs, with neither sadness nor joy in his eyes…

When Chen Chu came to the street, the god actors were still praying for the child. He nodded slightly to the “gods”, then came to the woman’s side and squatted down to look at the child and said, “Can I take a look at the child?”

When the woman saw a young Taoist priest coming, she was a little hesitant, but she still moved the child out.

Chen Chu could feel the weak divine power remaining in his body beating. Yes, the moment the parade of gods appeared, divine power was generated in his empty body…

His index finger gently touched the child’s forehead, and the divine power slowly entered the child’s body through his fingertips, clearing the obstacles in the body.

Click!

Something is cracked in the Dantian.

Chen Chu was sweating on his forehead, and the divine power on his fingertips was intermittent. Although his divine power could save the child, he had a feeling that if he wanted to save this dying child, he would definitely drain the last of his divine power. Without his divine power, he would I can no longer leave this world.

The divine power comes and goes, and the child’s face turns pale and rosy.

“Taoist Master, save my child…”

The woman’s eyes are full of longing for her child’s survival.

Chen Chu didn’t speak, and the output of divine power from his fingertips increased. After sending out the last of his divine power, he slowly stood up and said, “He’s healed. Just take him home and rest for a month…”

Okay, okay?

The woman was stunned by the huge surprise and was in a daze for a long time. She looked down at the child, her face was rosy, and her breathing became much calmer while sleeping. She was about to thank Chen Chu, but she had disappeared…

In the private room on the second floor of the inn, Ping Yun smiled slightly when he saw this scene. When he saw the face reflected in the tea in the cup, he laughed at himself.

Chen Chu is back.

Ping Yun pushed a cup of steaming tea over: “Moisten your throat.”

He asked with a smile: “The Taoist master is very capable. He can take good care of the child with just one look.”

Chen Chu also smiled and said: “It’s not my ability. It just so happens that this child has great blessings. I don’t dare to take credit.” There was really no drop of divine power left in his body.

…

With Ping Yun’s help, Chen Chu had a small house in this small town, which gave him a place to stay.

He has been looking for a way to restore his divine power. During this period, he found a boy who acted as a god that day, and also visited temples and Taoist temples, but nothing was gained…

The days passed.

Chen Chu couldn’t find a way to restore his supernatural power, so he used his knowledge to treat people’s diseases and earn some money to live on, because his body seemed to be ordinary, no longer invincible, tired, and old.

Ping Yun would often invite him to drink tea in the private room of the inn and chat about anything. He would fly around in the sky and on the ground. From time to time, his jaw would almost drop in shock by Chen Chu’s shocking remarks.

The white horse passes through the gap.

The sun and the moon fly by.

Chen Chu began to have wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and spots on his face, becoming more and more like a “real” old Taoist priest.

For the sake of his fame, Ping Yun rushed to take the exam several times but failed. Finally, he simply “lay down” and lived in this small town with Chen Chu, making some handicrafts to sell for money, and gradually gained some fame…

Decades pass.

Ping Yun, the man who used to be as high-spirited and as straight as his waist, now has a stooped waist, gray hair, and age spots on his face. He is lying on the bamboo bed in the hut and is very angry. Chen Chu sat on the bamboo chair next to him. He had also become very old. His voice was no longer clear and strong, only hoarse…

Chen Chu patted Ping Yun’s hand gently: “If you have anything you can’t let go of, tell me and I’ll do it for you. If you go, I’ll recite sutras for you to be saved.”

Ping Yun lost the strength to raise his head, and turned his eyes with difficulty to look at Chen Chu: “I…we believe in you. You are walking a more determined path than anyone else, but it is harder than anyone else. We…we all You are a loser, Chen…Chen Chu, we can’t help you with anything, but there is something we need your help with.”

Chen Chu couldn’t understand what you and us were talking about.

He only knew that this old friend Ping Yun seemed to have something he couldn’t let go of, so he hurriedly said: “Speak quickly.”

Ping Yun said: “I put a bag of things under your bed. There is a letter from me in it. Please give the items to them for me. They will do the same for you…”

This is the last sentence.

Because there was no light in Ping Yun’s eyes.

I wanted to stop watching for a few days to calm down, but I happened to be sick, but I didn’t expect that my cough would never get better. Everyone around me was fine. I was still coughing, my nasal cavity became fragile, and I was bleeding four times a day. I was a little panicked. , I went to see a doctor, took blood and took a X-ray and found out that it was pneumonia or lung infection, which required a sling bottle. However, I chose to do nebulization, and it started to feel better today.
