Chapter 116 The Wooden-legged WomanLuoyang city is very large and there are many caravans coming and going.
Therefore, inns and post stations appeared at the foot of the city wall to provide rest for caravans that could not enter the city.
Over time, the area at the foot of the city wall became larger and larger, even larger than Luoyang City itself, and was called the "outer city".
After all, the prices of things in Luoyang city are not low.
So things in the outer city are very cheap, even though many places look dirty.
Shi Feizhe had passed by the outer city before entering the city, but this time Guan Shan took him to the edge of the outer city and to a dilapidated courtyard.
The courtyard is very small, almost cannot be called a courtyard, with three earthen houses built with loess and thatch.
Behind the earthen house is a wasteland.
As if hearing some noise outside, a woman's voice came from inside the house: "I am not feeling well today, so I won't be receiving any guests!"
She has a nice voice.
"It's me!" Guan Shan said, carrying a basket of books and the food he bought on the road.
"It's Brother Guan! Wait a minute!" The woman said in a surprised voice, "Sister, Brother Guan is here to see us!"
After a while, the sound of wood hitting the ground came from inside.
With a creaky sound, the door of the courtyard opened, and two women, one tall and one short, came out.
They were both about 20 or 30 years old, very thin, and seemed to have been malnourished for a long time. They were both very pretty in their own way. They were very happy to see Guan Shan, and curious about Shi Feizhe.
What is surprising is that they have no feet, but only a wooden limb that looks like a foot, which is inserted into the ankle so that they can walk.
This is the "da da da" sound you just heard.
"Brother Guan, who is this..." asked the tall woman among them.
She knew Guan Shan would not introduce any guests to them.
"This is the boss I just met, Dean Shi!" Guan Shan introduced the two women, "I sold myself. I thought I hadn't seen you for a long time, so I came to see you!"
"Dean Shi, these two are Danla and Mir, they are my friends!" Guan Shan introduced them to Shi Feizhe.
Shi Feizhe smiled and said to them: "Hello, both of you!"
"Hello, Dean Shi!" The two girls bowed and welcomed Shi Feizhe into the yard.
"You two came and brought gifts. You are so polite." Danla is a tall woman. She smiles very gently and has a very pleasant voice.
Guan Shan brought rice and oil for the two of them, while Shi Feizhe bought dried meat, salt and other necessities of life.
The oil tank weighed only a dozen pounds, but Danla could still lift it with difficulty. Shi Feizhe saw traces of martial arts training on her body.
But the rice bags were very heavy, so Guanshan placed them in the corner of the kitchen for them.
The kitchen is small but tidy.
Apart from the kitchen, the other two small rooms were very small, only big enough for two women to live in and store miscellaneous items, so the four of them sat in the yard and talked.
"Brother Guan, are you going to go out into the world with Dean Shi in the future?" Mil is a short and very petite woman. She said with a gleam in her eyes.
"No, I'm just going to open a martial arts academy!" said Shi Feizhe.
He already knew that these two women were saints.
In many sects, the Saint is the forbidden delicacy and star wrath of the high-level sects, and is the kind that has been raised in captivity since childhood.
As for the severed leg, it is most likely related to the teachings within the Holy Church of Light.
Shi Feizhe has seen a lot of dirty deeds among various sects in the world.
"Opening a martial arts academy? That's a big deal! We sisters would like to wish Brother Guan and Dean Shi all the best! It's getting late, why don't I cook some food and we eat together?" Mir said.
Although she is short, she seems to be quite opinionated.
"We have something else to do later, so why don't we go back first?" Shi Feizhe said, seeing that the two women were inconvenienced. But Guan Shan said, "Dean Shi, it's okay to go back! Let's eat here, I'll go and help!"
Having said that, he went to the kitchen to help.
"..."
Shi Feizhe had no choice but to chat with the petite Mil, while Danla and Guanshan were cooking.
"Isn't Dean Shi from Luoyang?" Mir's voice was a little crisp.
"Why do you think so?" Shi Feizhe said.
"Because Dean Shi is always looking at my feet!" said Mir.
"Feel sorry!"
"It's nothing. Everyone in Luoyang knows the pure Saint of Light." Mir said in an inexplicable tone: "The Saint has never walked in the mortal world in her life. She is the purest."
"...I think I understand!" Shi Feizhe understood everything immediately after hearing the Pure Saint.
Just like a dumb girl who doesn't curse, so her soul is pure. A girl without feet will naturally not walk in the mortal world and be contaminated by the filth of the world, so she is the purest.
Sects always package these concepts. Shi Feizhe has seen a lot of them after entering the world for a few months.
"How old?"
"Eight years old!" Mir said, "When you are eight years old, there is a purification ceremony in the Holy Church. You need to cut off your feet to become a saint!"
Shi Feizhe was silent for a while, then said, "It hurts a lot!"
"I forgot!" Mir said with a smile, "If you remember the pain, it will always hurt! So, just forget it!"
"Ha~" Shi Feizhe, who was originally feeling a little depressed, suddenly smiled with relief.
In the martial arts world, true warriors have to work like slaves, but at least there is an illusory road to heaven.
Even more people are not even qualified to be cattle and horses.
Just like the wheat stubble in the field, it grows every year. Farmers just harvest it on time every year, but no one ever cares about their thoughts.
Such people are not worthy of being called human beings; it would be more appropriate to call them consumables.
Shi Feizhe has seen a lot of strange things in the past few months, but he is the first one to be as optimistic as Mir!
"You have all practiced martial arts, right?" Shi Feizhe suddenly said.
"I practiced it before I was eight years old, but later on, my blood and energy were never perfect. After a long time, my blood and energy were defeated," Mir said.
Warriors need to exercise their blood and qi. How can one exercise blood and qi without a pair of legs? How can one become a warrior?
"Have you ever learned the visualization method?" Shi Feizhe asked again.
"Every believer of the holy religion has learned it. They have to visualize the messenger of God and serve the Lord forever!" Mir said.
Shi Feizhe squatted down, drew the symbol of Φ on the ground with his finger, and said, "Then do you know what supreme wisdom is?"
"Supreme wisdom?" Mil had never heard of it, but felt it seemed to be related to the sect.
"Wisdom comes from observation and summary, and also from doubt. Supreme wisdom is born out of countless doubts..." Shi Feizhe began to explain the "Supreme Wisdom Sutra" to Mil.
The "Sutra on the Supreme Wisdom" is about visualizing Φ in the sea of consciousness, and then the supreme wisdom is born.
I hope wisdom can bring changes to their lives!
Shi Feizhe's voice penetrated the earthen house and was heard by Guan Shan and Dan La who were cooking in the kitchen.
"Brother Guan, who is he?" Danla asked when he heard Shi Feizhe seemed to be teaching scriptures.
"A... good man!" Guan Shan thought of asking Shi Feizhe for money. Shi Feizhe had no doubt about it, he said.
"There are no good people in this world! Brother Guan should be more careful." Danla said again.
"I may not see you for a long time after I leave. I hope you all live well." said Guan Shan who was making a fire.
"In the past, the Holy Church underwent a great change. We are grateful to Brother Guan for bringing us out, not to mention that he found a place for us to stay." Danla said:
"We will definitely live well and make all the hard work of Brother Guan worthwhile!"
Live well.
