After entering the middle stage of Yin Shen, Li Daoxuan's magical power of summoning clouds also became faster. He stepped on the auspicious clouds and cut through the void like a meteor. He was as fast as a flying star, and each breath was enough to fly hundreds of feet.
If someone looks from the ground, they can see a flawless and soft white cloud in the clear sky, quickly crossing the sky.
Li Daoxuan's long hair was fluttering. In order not to alarm others, he specially changed into a rich brocade suit with long sleeves and a jade belt hanging from his waist. He also held a folding fan in his hand. With his handsome appearance, he looked like a young man.
Of course, it would be more convincing if he was not so arrogant now.
Under the extreme speed of Zhaoyun's magical power, Li Daoxuan flew over two hundred miles with just a snap of his fingers in just a moment. This was because he took the wrong path once.
It is now Youshi, which is around five o'clock in the afternoon in future generations.
The yellow rooster crows to remind you of the dawn, and it disappears in the daytime to remind you of the new year.
Facing the setting sun, Li Daoxuan landed in a secluded corner, tidied up his slightly messy hair, and then walked swaggering towards Shanghe Village, constantly looking left and right, as if he was traveling.
Shanghe Village is not that big, nor does it have any strange mountains and rivers. Its only characteristic may be that it is remote.
Around Shanghe Village, there are no traces of other villages, as if this is the Peach Blossom Land written by Tao Yuanming. I don't know whether there was a Han Dynasty, regardless of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
But Li Daoxuan soon discovered that his feeling was wrong.
Because on the road into the village, you can clearly see many traces of ruts, and judging from the size of the wheels, they are not ordinary carriages. Most of the people who come here are either rich or noble.
On the farmland in the village, he didn't see anything like "yellow hair hanging down and enjoying himself". Many people here had returned to their homes and sealed their doors and windows. Occasionally, he saw a few people who looked numb, such as Like a zombie.
Li Daoxuan noticed that they had one thing in common, that is, the dark circles under their eyes were very obvious and they were very depressed.
It felt like I hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
Could it be insomnia?
Li Daoxuan stopped one of the old men and said with a smile: "My father-in-law, I, Li Xunhuan, want to ask you about something."
The old man was sallow and thin, with deep dark circles under his eyes. He looked up and down with his cloudy eyes and said, "Ask someone else. I'm going home."
Li Daoxuan took out a tael of silver and handed it to him.
The old man's eyes brightened slightly, but he did not take the money immediately. Instead, he asked: "Tell me first, what do you want to ask?"
Li Daoxuan smiled and said: "To be honest, I am here to fulfill my wife's wish."
The old man showed a hint of surprise, as if he had already guessed.
"After I got married to my wife, she was not pregnant even though she played the harp and the harp. Later, she heard that the Guanyin Temple here was very efficacious, so she came here to offer incense and petition. Not long after she returned, she actually got pregnant. !”
Li Dao
"Old man, actually I just wanted to ask for directions. I don't know how to get to the Guanyin Temple."
When the old man heard this question, he actually refused the money.
He pointed in the east direction and said: "It's over there, just turn a few corners and you'll be there. There's a lake next to the temple."
After a pause, there was a hint of piety in his eyes, and he said: "The Bodhisattva in the temple is very efficacious. My daughter-in-law was conceived after going there to offer incense. You come and pay your vows to the Bodhisattva. I don't want any money!"
Li Dao
Upon hearing this question, the old man's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Li Daoxuan with doubt.
Li Dao
The old man hesitated and finally accepted the money.
He took a deep look at Li Daoxuan and warned: "Master, remember, you can come here to offer incense and fulfill your wishes, but... don't stay here overnight."
Li Daoxuan asked in confusion: "Why?"
The old man did not answer, but just shook his head and said: "Master, please remember not to stay here overnight. If you have to stay overnight, don't fall asleep!"
Then, before Li Daoxuan could ask further questions, the old man turned around and left, returned to his home, and immediately locked the door.
This abnormal behavior made Li Daoxuan even more certain that there was indeed something weird in Shanghe Village.
At the same time, he discovered that the villagers in Shanghe Village were not suffering from insomnia, but... were afraid of sleeping, as if something terrible would happen as long as they fell asleep.
interesting……
Li Daoxuan turned the folding fan in his hand, then carried it behind his back and walked towards the Guanyin Temple.
…
The Guanyin Temple is built next to a lake. The scenery is very beautiful. There are birds circling, flying in small groups under the sunset, passing by the water, and it looks very peaceful and peaceful.
The temple was not big, but the incense was very strong. Li Daoxuan could smell the sandalwood in the temple from ten feet away.
"The lotuses on the throne frequently bear seeds, and the willows in the vase grow their own branches."
Li Daoxuan read the couplets on both sides of the temple gate, with an intriguing look in his eyes.
Is it really so effective?
You must know that even in the era when gods and Buddhas were alive, this kind of temple was not always perfect. Gods and Buddhas listen to the prayers of all living beings, and even if they have great magical powers, they cannot be perfect.
Moreover, the reason why some people have no heirs is due to the reincarnation of cause and effect, which is destined by God, and gods and Buddhas generally will not interfere in this.
But this small temple in a remote village has proven to be successful despite repeated attempts. It is so miraculous that there must be some secret hidden in it.
Li Daoxuan remained calm and prepared to step into the temple.
Suddenly, a figure walked out of it first. It was a gorgeous woman wearing gold and silver. She seemed very excited and almost bumped into Li Daoxuan, muttering something in her mouth.
"The Bodhisattva has appeared, and the Bodhisattva has responded to me!"
"Great, I'll be pregnant right now!"
…
Li Daoxuan stared at her back and frowned slightly.
It's not that she is greedy for beauty, this woman is beautiful, but to Li Daoxuan, it is nothing more than that. The reason why he is attracted is because there is a faint evil spirit about this woman.
But she is not a demon per se, she is indeed just an ordinary person.
"Guanyin Temple?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Daoxuan's mouth, and then he stepped forward.
The space in the temple is not large, and there is only a statue of Guanyin on the shrine. Under the statue are a little boy and a little girl, who are the Good Fortune Boy and the Dragon Girl respectively.
An old monk sat under the futon, tapping the wooden fish gently.
The lingering scent of sandalwood, accompanied by the crisp sound of wooden fish, gives it quite the aura of an ancient temple in the mountains.
Li Daoxuan stared at the Guanyin statue and found that its brows were compassionate, quiet and holy, but after looking at it for a while, the statue gradually changed.
His compassionate eyebrows narrowed, revealing a bit of coldness, and the Zen-like smile at the corner of his mouth turned into a sneer.
Even the willow branch in her hand turned into a human leg...
From the white-clothed Guanyin who saved all sentient beings with great mercy, she suddenly turned into a monster with raw hair and a ferocious spirit.
But when Li Daoxuan blinked, she became the sacred, solemn, and compassionate Guanyin Master again.
If an ordinary person encountered this kind of thing, he would probably be scared to death, but Li Daoxuan was naturally calm and composed, and even looked around with interest.
At this time, the sound of wooden fish suddenly stopped.
The old monk raised his head and looked at Li Daoxuan quietly with his deep eyes.
"Buddha has one appearance, one face and one mind. Human beings have one appearance, one face and one mind."
"Amitabha, I wonder what the appearance of the Bodhisattva the donor saw is?"
