This scene was indescribably weird. A butcher, no, a hawker, with a sinister face and a sinister look, was actually complaining like a little girl who had been wronged.
Li Qiye just smiled at the vendor's complaint. He looked at the yellow sand outside and said with a faint smile: "The scenery here is particularly beautiful."
This is a bit wrong. What's more, the sky here is full of yellow sand, and the scorching sun makes people crazy. How can it be called that the scenery is particularly good?
However, the hawker agreed very much with Li Qiye's words, nodded like a little chicken, and said: "Yes, yes, it's quiet, and staying here makes me feel comfortable."
Hearing the two of them singing together, uninformed people would really think that this place is some kind of quiet place, a very dangerous and dangerous place, but in their mouths, it turns out to be a place with unique and elegant scenery. This is really unimaginable. If there were outsiders here, they might think both of them were crazy.
"The scenery inside is better." Li Qiye said this lightly, as if his words were floating from the horizon.
"That's it, that's it, the Buddha's pulp is gushing out, it's like the Buddhist heaven." The vendor scratched his sparse hair, looking forward to it, and said: "It's a pity that when I'm not born, I might be able to see the Buddha's kingdom." The grand occasion is wonderful, wonderful, it will definitely make people yearn for it.”
"Indeed, if you shave your head and put a cassock on your body, you will become an eminent monk, an eminent monk." Li Qiye smiled and said, "You can go on stage to preach, promote Buddhism, and save all sentient beings."
"Sin, sin." The hawker Heshi, who looked like a monk, said: "What the customer said means that he is burying me. Even if I shave my head and add a scar, I am just a fair-weather monk. Why? It’s good to be able to become an eminent monk, that’s good, that’s good.”
"What's the crime of a meat-and-wine monk?" Li Qiye looked into the distance and said lightly with a smile: "Even a devil full of evil can become a vajra, let alone a meat-and-wine monk."
"How good, how good." The hawker turned out to be like a monk, he bowed his head and said: "Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately."
"Unfortunately, I don't believe this." Li Qiye smiled and said: "Those who deserve to be killed will be killed without mercy. Even if they repent and do good, they cannot offset the sins they have committed."
"Who do the guests think should be killed?" The vendor looked at Li Qiye with a somewhat solemn expression. It seemed that at this moment, people forgot that he was a man with a ruthless face.
"I said the person should be killed, that's the person who should be killed." Li Qiye looked into the distance and said calmly.
"This, this is too arbitrary." The hawker pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Perhaps, God can judge people guilty, not me and others."
"God is God." Li Qiye said nonchalantly, "I am me. If I think someone should be killed, he must be killed. Even if it is God, the same is true."
Such words made the hawker startled. Anyone who could understand these words would be shocked in their hearts.
People who understand these words may think that these words are disrespectful. These words are blasphemous to God and are really disrespectful.
Of course, Li Qiye didn't take it to heart, and the vendor was just savoring Li Qiye's words carefully and did not refute Li Qiye's statement.
"I'm a rough guy, so I can't understand it." Finally, the vendor shook his head slightly and said helplessly.
Li Qiye smiled and said calmly: "I don't know if you are a rough person, but you must be well-prepared, don't you think so."
"Heh, heh, heh..." the hawker said with a smile: "No, no, the customer is joking. My little business is not worth much even if I have no precautions."
Li Qiye just smiled and said nothing more.
The hawker didn't strike up a conversation. He seemed to be thirsty and drank water.
"Going south, do you think there are ghosts?" Li Qiye suddenly said this while the vendor was drinking water.
Li Qiye's understatement made the vendor freeze for a moment. Then, he continued to drink water. When he was full, he burped with satisfaction and wiped his mouth with his sleeve. He said: "I have never seen what ghosts are like, but in those places in the south, there are always some indescribable weirdness, and there are always inexplicable things crawling out somewhere."
"So, you have done some research?" Li Qiye's eyes fell on him.
"Don't dare, don't dare." The hawker hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly: "There is no need to study. I am just trying to survive. If I can save a small life, I will be satisfied."
"But the sages of the Buddha's Holy Land didn't think like this." Li Qiye said this without thinking.
This made the hawker's expression stiff. After a while, he shook his head gently and sighed softly: "How can future generations know what the predecessors thought? How can they know?" Even if there are speculations by future generations, they are just delusions."
Li Qiye couldn't help but smile and didn't ask any further questions.
"Is the customer going south?" the vendor asked seriously.
"Yes, go south." Li Qiye raised his head and looked south. It seemed that at this moment, his eyes had reached the south end.
"The south end." The vendor also followed Li Qiye's gaze. Although he didn't know where it was, he had an idea.
"It's not easy to go south," the hawker said, "Why do guests go south?"
"Let's settle it." Li Qiye said casually and casually.
The hawker didn't ask any questions. It seemed that everything was so natural. It seemed that some things didn't require any words at all, because some things were hidden under this behavior.
"What about you?" After a while, Li Qiye glanced at the vendor and said calmly.
The hawker scratched his sparse hair and said: "It's just a matter of asking for food. These days, it's hard to support yourself, let alone others. You just do some small business and come home late at night. I’m also afraid of encountering jackals, venomous snakes, and bad guys on the road. If I’m not careful, I’ll lose all my money.”
Li Qiye couldn't help but smile at the vendor's words and said lightly, "There are many kinds of small businesses. To God, it is just a small item on the counter.
"These words are too profound. I am a rough man and cannot understand them." The hawker said with a dry smile.
Li Qiye couldn't help but smile, and then said casually: "Okay, since you are setting up a stall here, then take out something to see if there is anything I want."
"Oh, I almost forgot." The vendor slapped his forehead, shouted, and said, "Look at me, I'm so forgetful. I haven't talked to anyone for so long. When I start chatting, what? All forgotten."
As he said that, the vendor had already laid out his things. In fact, he didn't have many goods. He just pulled out a piece of coarse cloth on the ground and placed his things on it in threes and threes, very casually. , and they are all small items.
"Guest, take a look, how does this copper stove look like?" At this time, the vendor picked up a small incense burner. This small incense burner was made of ancient bronze and was very delicate. The corners of the small copper stove were green. , it seems that this copper furnace is quite old.
"My incense burner was dug out of the Buddha's soil by myself. Once the burner was unearthed, a golden spring gushed out of the earth, with holy lotus growing, divine incense lingering, and Sanskrit sounds lingering in my ears..." the vendor said confidently: "I bet that this incense burner of mine is the supreme treasure of Buddhism. Isn't there a rumor that there are supreme treasures from ancient times left in the wasteland? I think this incense burner of mine must be An unparalleled treasure of that era.”
Li Qiye just glanced at it, smiled faintly, and said: "This is indeed something from that era, and it was indeed dug out of this Buddha soil. However, it is not a heavy treasure, it is just a small magic weapon. .”
"Then look at this thing again, the Supreme Buddha Beads in the West." Seeing that he failed to impress Li Qiye, the vendor immediately picked up another thing and saw that this string of beads was carved from ancient wood. There is a holy Buddha carved on the beads. Each holy Buddha has a different look. Such a string of beads exudes a scent of sandalwood, as if this string of beads had been enshrined in an ancient temple for millions of years.
"This string of Western Heaven's Supreme Buddha Beads was collected by me when I was in the capital. I heard that it is a family heirloom. It was passed down from Tianlong Temple and has been obtained by millions of eminent monks. With the blessing of Zai, these beads can drive away evil spirits..." The vendor boasted about the string of beads in his hand, which was very exciting, as if it was really that powerful.
"Fake -" Li Qiye glanced at it and said lightly: "It's just a fake."
"——Uh." The vendor was stunned for a moment and said, "This, this, is this really a fake?"
After a moment, he shouted like a pig being killed: "You damn bastard, you used fake goods to deceive me. You've eaten the heart of a tiger and the belly of a leopard. Let's see how I peel off your skin and cramp your tendons..."
After learning that his treasure was a fake, the vendor howled incessantly and felt so much pain that people thought he was about to kill someone with a butcher's knife.
However, the hawker did not immediately use the butcher's knife to kill people. After a series of curses, he picked up another thing and suddenly smiled again, a very standard hawker-style smile.
At this time, the vendor held an ancient stone in his hand and strongly recommended it to Li Qiye, saying: "Guests, take a look, this stone is a fairy from heaven. Speaking of my stone, it has a great background. In ancient times, In that era, when the great disaster came, the sky suddenly turned black..."
