Ksitigarbha believed that he must die and found a cave as his tomb.
But unexpectedly, there was someone in the cave, a girl in white who was lighting a fire to keep warm in the cave.
Because it was raining lightly outside, the girl's clothes were all wet and she was carrying a medicine basket, so she had no choice but to run into a cave to take shelter from the rain.
When the girl saw someone coming in, she became a little nervous. After all, this was in the mountains. She, a girl under twenty years old, encountered a man with a fierce expression and covered in blood. It would be strange if she was not afraid.
At this time, Ksitigarbha was helpless when he saw someone in the house, because he no longer had the strength to leave.
There are two different poisons in his body, but perhaps it is precisely because of this that he can endure until now.
But when he entered the cave, he could no longer hold on, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out, and then he fell to the ground unconscious.
And when Jizo woke up again, it was already half a month later.
He opened his eyes slightly, and what he saw was a comfortable cabin with a young girl.
The girl was giving medicine to Ksitigarbha. When she saw that Ksitigarbha was awake, she shouted with joy, "Dad, that man is awake."
At this time, a middle-aged man in civilian clothes walked over. He looked to be in his forties and had a beard about one foot long.
He saw that Ksitigarbha was trying hard to open his eyes, and he laughed and said: "Don't be anxious, you still need more rest. Haha, it seems that you are destined to be lucky. There are two poisons that are in conflict with each other in your body, and you are like this Come alive."
"Who are you?"
Jizo asked slightly, his voice was low and very hoarse.
The other party said: "I'm just a villager in the mountains, sir, don't worry about it."
Ksitigarbha saw that the other party didn't say anything, so he stopped asking. Because he lives in the mountains, he must also be a person with stories.
Ten days later, Ksitigarbha's condition improved greatly and he was able to walk around.
Normally, Ksitigarbha is of few words because he is a killer and has few friends.
What's more, when a person reaches his level, he has nothing to say to others.
But the girl was a talkative and laughing girl. She was afraid that Jizo would get bored, so she would chat with him when she came back from collecting herbs.
The girl was all talking, Jizo was just listening.
But over time, Ksitigarbha will also be able to say a few words.
The girl kept laughing because she had grown up in the mountains since she was a child and rarely met outsiders except her father. Otherwise, she would not have chatted with a middle-aged man like Jizo who had a fierce face.
So Ksitigarbha shared some of his experiences with the girl and gave her a gold medal to repay her for saving her life.
This gold medal is made of pure gold and is about the size of a thumb, with a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva engraved on it.
And the nickname of Ksitigarbha comes from this. The full name of his nickname is "Buddha Ksitigarbha", which means if hell is not empty, how can I become a Buddha?
As for his real name, perhaps even he himself has forgotten it.
It was too painful to look back on the past, and Ksitigarbha did not want to reveal this matter to anyone. But he is such a calm middle-aged uncle, but he is particularly attractive to young girls who are just beginning to fall in love.
Ksitigarbha also intends to be an ordinary person, and the quietness here is indeed the best choice for seclusion.
So after Ksitigarbha recovered from his injury, he built a thatched house nearby and prepared to live in seclusion here.
But the girl's father looked troubled.
He lived in seclusion, obviously to avoid something, but he didn't expect Jizo to want to stay.
He wanted to drive Ksitigarbha away, but his daughter refused. Moreover, his daughter seemed to be getting closer and closer to Jizo.
Therefore, the girl's father was a little worried. His daughter was in trouble. What if she did something extraordinary?
So the girl's father deceived his daughter away on the pretext of going down the mountain to sell medicine.
He wanted to leave with his daughter to avoid being found by his enemies. What's more, the girl's father is also a man in the world. As soon as he saw Ksitigarbha's attire, he knew that this person was no ordinary person. Moreover, the other party may have chosen to live in seclusion to avoid his enemies.
Therefore, enemies added enemies, so the girl's father had to take his daughter away to avoid being implicated by Ksitigarbha.
Ksitigarbha naturally didn't know about this. He went out hunting and killed a stag. He brought it back and wanted to give it to Mr. Sun and Miss Yumeng as a tooth sacrifice.
But I didn't want to find that when I arrived at the hut, the father and daughter were not there.
Ksitigarbha was so shrewd, but he saw that although the ordinary items were still in the hut, the paperweight used by Mr. Sun to write the prescription was missing.
The ebony paperweight was carved with a little lion carved on it. Mr. Sun especially liked it and often held it in his hand to play with.
But at this time, the paperweight was gone, which meant that Mr. Sun and Miss Yumeng were going to travel far away.
Thinking of this, Ksitigarbha sighed and thought: I was wrong. The other party lives in seclusion in the mountains, and it is obvious that he wants to live a secluded life just like himself. What about yourself? But he also built a hut nearby. Isn't this driving him away?
But at this time, it was too late to say anything. If the other party left, he could go anywhere in the world, so where could he go to find him? He could only give up after thinking about it!
】
Just when Jizang was about to clean up the deer and prepare lunch for himself, he suddenly remembered something.
He gave his gold medal to Yu Meng to repay his kindness, but the gold medal could only be carried around in the mountains. If Yu Meng still carried the gold medal after coming out of the mountain, he might be killed.
Because that gold medal is a mark of him, and his nickname comes from this gold medal.
So once someone recognizes the gold medal, Yu Meng and Mr. Sun will definitely die.
What's more, he had just been attacked and almost cornered. Then once his enemies heard the news and came looking for him, they would most likely run into him.
Thinking of this, Ksitigarbha didn't want to think too much and ran down the mountain.
Although Ksitigarbha killed countless people, he always repaid his kindness. Mr. Sun and Yu Meng saved him, how could he harm others?
What's more, there are some things that Mr. Sun may not even know. Ji Zang and Yu Meng were actually better off that day.
Ksitigarbha was rarely sentimental in his life, but after he decided to live in seclusion, he came up with the idea of men farming and women weaving, and Yu Meng was a lovable girl. So after this back and forth, the two of them got together naturally.
So the anxious Ksitigarbha ran like a cheetah in the forest.
While running, Jizo's mind was not idle. He was thinking about which path Mr. Sun and Yu Meng could take.
There are two towns and eight villages at the foot of the mountain, with a total of no less than twenty forks in the road. Once Ksitigarbha takes the wrong path, he may never see him again in this life! ...
