Chapter 557
I knew that the old man had lived here for a long time and was reluctant to leave, so I didn't stop him when he looked back.
"Let's go quickly."
After about a quarter of an hour, I was really worried that there were still minions behind the mysterious man.
"Shh."
However, no one expected that the old man actually lit a match.
"You..."
I don't know what he did, but I remember that the old man didn't seem to light a cigarette, so what was this match used for...
"Boom!"
What I didn't expect was that the match actually ignited the land inside the fence directly, and a faint blue flame suddenly emerged from it, and I even heard a whimper.
Then I saw countless figures swaying in the flames, and everyone seemed very panicked.
I even heard someone wailing, but I didn't see their shadows. The things that looked like dogtail grass all bloomed, but soon they were drowned in the sea of fire, colorful and looked really scary.
"You burned all these flowers and plants?"
I was a little puzzled, "By the way, what kind of flowers are these? Why do I hear strange..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man told me not to make a sound.
Half a minute later, he continued, "They are not flowers and plants, but dead things. Below are all their urns, so, forget it, it seems that they can't stay here to accompany me, so let them go on their way with peace of mind."
"What, those are...ghosts?"
I couldn't believe it, there are really ghosts in this world?
"No, not ghosts!"
The old man shouted and glared at me.
"What is that?"
I asked.
"Their bodies have been destroyed, but their thoughts are still there. Only you can feel their existence, but they are also like zombies, so I decided to let them go."
What the old man meant was that everything in the world reappears because they will not die.
In the Buddhist sense, it is reincarnation, but I don't know what it is.
"Let's go."
After saying that, the old man burned down the house. Maybe he would never come back here again.
"Let's go!"
We walked out at night.
The old man said that he had been out of the mountains several times before, so he was not worried about getting lost this time. We walked for two days and two nights before we saw some people.
That should also be a village, but it was far away from the Japanese project.
As we walked, we almost begged for food, that is, begging for food, so as not to starve.
Of course, most of the people in the mountain families or villages who beg for food are kind and generous, and will give some food and water, so there is no need to worry too much.
However, especially when we reach the edge of a small town or town, we have a lot of chances to starve. Especially when I saw the dazzling array of goods and sizzling meat in the city, I couldn't help swallowing my saliva.
But at this moment, we are almost as heavy as four bags.
This should be a town that is neither big nor small.
But the strange thing is that the surrounding area is very large and lively. It looks like a tourist development area, so there are many accommodations around.
"Here comes my specialty."
The old man stared at the passers-by and said seriously.
"Little brother, your stomach will be full soon." The old man stared at my stomach that was almost growling and said with a smile.
"Is this... okay?"
I was a little skeptical.
"Just watch my show."
At this time, the monk spread a stall on the ground. We chose a good place where people are frequented. People come and go here, and anyone can see it. At this time, the old man sat on the spread blanket, wrote some Buddhist charity deeds, and then beat the wooden fish seriously.
Then I sat next to him, staring at him straight, at a loss.
"Hey, everyone, I am a monk from Lingshan Temple. I came down the mountain to beg for alms. These are all good things that my master has blessed. They can ward off evil spirits."
The monk beat the wooden fish on the side and explained.
Suddenly, there were many people watching the excitement.
But everyone was staring, and some even sneered.
"By the way, there are some bone-breaking pills and ointments that can cure all kinds of diseases. They are very helpful for middle-aged and elderly people, and of course young men. They can cure diseases if you are sick, and strengthen your body if you are not sick."
The monk said seriously, and after every sentence, he would knock on the wooden fish.
"Have pity on me..."
At this time, a man came over in a wheelchair. He was dirty and his hands and feet were broken. He just put a bowl of money on the wooden chair. There was a radio hanging behind the ladder, playing some sad songs.
"Have pity on me..."
The man said, choking.
