Chapter 164 Winter Nightmare
The abbot of Luosha Temple was already in his twilight years at that time. Seeing Xu Xianzhi's immortal appearance, greatness and great achievements, he left him in Luosha Temple.
Speaking of Rakshasa Temple, it was originally an ordinary sect in the Sky City. In this prosperous place, it is inevitable that there will be people who are disappointed. At that time, this small Rakshasa Temple was a pure land in the eyes of these people. At that time, not only Xu Xianzhi, but also two or three figures in the heroic realm also lived here without caring about worldly affairs.
But Xu Xianzhi's interests are different from others. He studies Confucian knowledge of joining the world to help the common people. How can he be content in the mountains and fields and not care about worldly affairs? Five years after arriving at Rakshasa Temple, Xu Xianzhi integrated Confucianism and Buddhism in an unprecedented way. After he chatted with the abbot for seven days, the abbot was once again so amazed that he passed the throne to him directly the next month.
It is precisely for this reason that among the Luo Yun Sect, which is a first-class sect based on its Confucian core, there is an elder named "Jade Faced Bodhisattva" and a disciple named "Xiao Ming Wang".
Speaking of Wu Hao, although his personal strength is not the best among the younger generation, he can be said to be amazing and talented, and he is highly appreciated by Wu Yundi. He has been personally tutored by Elder Wu since he was a child, and rarely comes to the Golden Book Pavilion to study. Therefore, Wang Yuan'e was also surprised when he saw him appear.
But after all, Wang Yuan'e, as the senior sister of Luo Yunzong, had naturally collected some information about Wu Hao. She learned that it was true that Wu Hao was talented in martial arts, but he had neither the purity of Buddhism nor the righteousness of Confucianism. He was also greedy for sex and gambling, and he had to retaliate for his anger, which was a typical character of a rich man.
In her mind, there are no evil people in this world. It's just that when people's emotions and desires are too strong, people will always become dizzy. When facing a person who has lost his mind, you cannot quarrel with him. She knew that Wu Hao was easily confused and it would be useless to talk to him, so she bowed politely and left the Golden Book Pavilion to receive the envoys of the divine religion.
After she left, there was another burst of admiration from the disciples in the pavilion. I also said all the things I was embarrassed to say in front of my face. While chatting, someone became curious about her family background. This sentence stumped everyone. Because no one knows which family the eldest sister comes from.
…………
That night, after Wang Yuan'e finished handling his affairs, he was about to go into the mountain to practice martial arts. However, he saw a pine forest at the foot of the mountain that should not have existed here. Seeing the changes in the trees and plants in this forest, she was touched in her heart. She walked forward along the path in the forest, and she saw the thatched hut.
Her memory is far beyond ordinary people. For most people, it is already rare to remember what happened when they were five years old, but she was able to remember all her experiences from the time she stepped on the ground and learned to walk. She clearly remembered that when she was only four years old, she came to this forest and walked to the door of this thatched house.
It was a cold winter, with large swaths of crystal snow floating in the sky and a biting wind blowing, which made her little body covered in bruises from the cold.
She originally had a happy family, with a father and mother who loved her, and a younger brother who was not even one year old. I remember that at that time, she had a nickname of "Ling'er", but after her parents passed away, no one else did. Called her.
Their family is not a local wealthy gentry, nor is it a descendant of a powerful person. Even within the entire territory of Luo Yun Kingdom, it is a very remote small village.
Her parents grew several acres of rice. On weekdays, her parents would go out to do some farm work, and when she was young, she would hold her younger brother and follow her parents, running to the fields to play. The fields there are terraced fields that look as beautiful as paintings. When you are in them, you are also filled with the fragrance of green grass and the coolness of the water in the fields.
She loved playing in the water, and she discovered that her brother did too. After playing for a day, both of them will become little clay figures. If they deliberately lie down on a pile of dirt and hide, their parents will never find them.
Her father's singing was very beautiful. Every evening when the family of four goes home, my father and mother always sing along with the beautiful tune. Of course, the so-called echoing is actually usually started by the mother and followed by the father. Then she, her mother and her younger brother were all immersed in the fairyland created by their father's singing.
But in the summer when she was four years old, the weather was extremely hot. The small village that originally received abundant rainfall could not wait for a drop of rain that summer. Ordinary people without any harvest could only hunt nearby wild animals to satisfy their hunger. It was physical work and extremely dangerous. She remembered that her father came home with various injuries on his body every day, and her mother looked sad at home every day.
In a summer without rain, even the grass cannot survive, so how many wild animals can it support? Wild beasts are cool. When they see that there is no food here, they will find another place to find food. But we are different. Our homes and everything in our homes are here, so how can we just move them?
And people gradually discovered that ferocious beasts that had not appeared often before began to appear frequently around the village. They can't find food, and they also have a territory that they can't bear to let go of. Now in this territory, the only people who can eat are probably people.
One morning in the winter of that year, when her father went out hunting, she suddenly felt reluctant. She hugged her father's leg and said to him: "Daddy, can you stay with Ling'er at home? It's cold outside and Daddy won't go out."
The murmurs of young children are the most endearing. Her father touched her head, held her in his arms, kissed her, and said, "Ling'er is good, stay at home with your mother. Daddy will be back soon."
The mother smiled when she saw this scene. She walked over gently, hugged Yuan Goose in her arms and said, "Daddy won't leave. Daddy is playing hide-and-seek with Ling'er. Ling'er close her eyes and count dozens." , try and see if you can find it?”
"good."
She walked to the wall, closed her eyes and counted ten silently. After opening her eyes, she began to search for her father throughout the room. As she searched, her attention was diverted by other things.
It got dark quickly that day, and the temperature in the room dropped quickly. Every time it gets dark, her father will hold her in his arms, sit in front of the fire, tell her stories and sing nice songs. She thought of her father again. She ran to the stove and saw that the stove was not lit and her father was not there. Then she realized that her father had not come back since he left in the morning. She felt aggrieved and started to cry.
The mother hugged her and said, "Ling'er, don't cry. Is Ling'er cold? Daddy hasn't come back yet. How about we wait until Daddy comes back to get angry again?"
Seeing that her mother didn't understand what she meant, she cried even harder.
When her mother touched her hand, she found that it was cold, so she held her in her arms and coaxed her softly: "So Ling'er is so cold. I'm really wronging Ling'er."
