Chapter 227 A Request for Help from a Mountain Child
A few days later, Mingba monk's injuries improved a little and he was able to get out of bed and walk. He also followed Akechi Mitsuhide and Ruyi to cultivate the fields and planted a lot of fruits and vegetables.
Pinggong Qianye, who no longer needs to manage the daily operations of Weilian Ancient Temple, devotes more time to cultivation.
It will take him a long time to sink the knowledge and cultivation methods he has learned during this journey.
"Nine Seal Mandala", "Five Powerful Bodhisattvas", "Seven Buddhas' Mantras to Eliminate Sins", "Fate-Seeing", "Eight Divisions of the Infinite Sutras of the Devas and Dragons"...
Each skill is profound and requires dedicated practice and careful contemplation before it can be achieved.
September 9th, Saturday, was sunny.
As usual, Heimiya Chiye was practicing the Great Sun Sutra on the balcony of her home.
Inside the room, the cell phone on the desk rang. He looked at the sun high in the sky, exhaled slowly, stood up and walked into the room from the balcony.
I looked at the caller ID and saw it was Nakamura Shihei, the manager involved in the Yamado incident.
I had contacted the construction team through him before and left my phone number.
When the call was connected, the voice coming from the other end was not Nakamura Shihei's voice, but Kitamura, one of the protagonists who was pregnant and gave birth to a child.
The last time he traveled and passed by, he heard the little mountain children say that Beicun often went into the mountains to visit them with food and toys.
They really treat them as their own children.
Based on this, Hiramiya Chiye had a very good impression of him.
Pinggong Qianye asked: "What happened?"
"Ah, it's Master Liansheng. I'm here to contact you on behalf of the Shantongs. They are in trouble and need your help."
Pinggong Chiye asked Kitamura to explain the matter more clearly before hanging up the phone.
After all, you are still too young.
Hiramiya Chiye sighed, packed his luggage, and asked Akechi Mitsuhide to book him the fastest ticket to Osaka.
Try to resolve this issue during the two days of rest over the weekend.
After packing up his things, Pinggong Qianye visited his mother for a while and chatted with her for a while. When he left, his mother fell asleep peacefully again.
When they arrived at the temple, Pinggong Qianye asked Ruyi to take good care of the temple, especially Qingxingdeng which had been dormant for some time.
Judging from the frequency of its previous appearances, it should wake up once in the next two days.
You need to pay special attention and try to go along with her and not offend her.
……
There is a lush forest and a winding path leading from the village at the foot of the mountain.
Near the busy construction site, there is a dusty cave.
After ending the call, Kitamura handed the phone to Nakamura Shihei and expressed his gratitude.
“I am also looking forward to Master Liansheng’s coming again.”
"Yeah, it was already a few months ago."
When mentioning the last incident, Nakamura Shihei's expression became strange.
"Laugh if you want to, don't force it."
"It is still fresh in people's memory that a grown man got pregnant and gave birth to a child."
Nakamura Shihei still couldn't help laughing out loud.
“It was truly an unforgettable experience.”
"You seem to be very open-minded?"
"I was also ashamed to see people at first, but later I gradually got over it. There is a cause for every effect. Everything started with me, so I should take responsibility for it."
Beicun smiled and said calmly: "It is also a blessing for me to give birth to such a child."
"Kitamura, you really have changed a lot."
"When you are young, you must learn to grow up, and when you grow up, you must learn to mature."
"When Master Liansheng comes later, you should have a lot in common with him."
The two chatted while waiting until the sun set, when Nakamura Shihei received a text message on his phone.
[I have already entered the mountain through the shortcut, no need to wait for me]
"It looks like your conversation with Master Liansheng will have to wait until later."
Nakamura Shihei handed the text message to Kitamura for him to take a look.
Beicun smiled and said, "There is indeed no need to wait. Master Liansheng and I may meet in the mountains."
"It's getting dark now!"
"It's okay. I'm familiar with the roads in the mountains."
"Then be careful."
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Nakamura Zhiping could only watch Kitamura go into the mountains. The mountains were densely forested, and as the sun set, waves of white smoke began to float in the mountains.
Even with a flashlight, it is difficult to see the road ahead clearly as visibility is very low.
Therefore, experienced mountain people will warn that it is not suitable to go into the mountains at night as problems may easily occur.
Beicun carried a small bamboo basket on his back and just looked at his feet, ignoring the fog nearby.
After walking along the mountain road for 20 minutes, Beicun arrived at the stone dividing area where he often visited before.
The place was empty. After waiting for a long time, the familiar mountain boy did not appear through the fog.
After hesitating for a moment, Beicun finally crossed the dividing line.
After walking for a distance, the thick fog was no longer covering the area and the view ahead gradually became clear.
Passing through the dense forest and weeds and thorns, he came to the other side of the waterfall.
This place was separated by a waterfall, with only a few hanging vines swaying gently, and he couldn't get through at all.
Beicun wanted to see the other side of the river, but he was blocked by the jungle and couldn't see it.
He thought for a moment, then climbed up to the crown of a big tree, and then he could barely see the scenery on the other side.
He also saw the little mountain children he had been thinking about.
However, at this moment, the two little mountain boys were displaying an almost fawning intimacy towards a young man.
They seemed to treat that person as a family member like a father or mother, and were respectful, close, and happy to him.
Is this the one who enjoys the happiness of being with you?
Obviously, I am their parent.
Although they do not reject themselves, they always keep a certain distance from themselves.
But now...have they already recognized other people as their parents?
Beicun felt indescribable sadness in his heart. When the moonlight fell and the man turned his head, the sadness in his heart was slightly suppressed.
That person was Master Liansheng.
It was he who cut open her own belly and helped her give birth to the mountain boy.
On the other side of the waterfall, Pinggong Qianye withdrew his gaze from Kitamura, said a few words to the two little mountain boys, and asked them to send Kitamura back first.
As the night deepens, demons and monsters begin to appear.
That stone dividing line is the boundary that the mountain monsters cannot cross.
This is the rule set by the mountain god here. Monsters who need to make a living in this forest will choose to abide by the rules of the mountain god to avoid being expelled by the mountain god.
Two little mountain boys grabbed the vines and swung over the waterfall, taking Beicun away to prevent him from staying here and getting into trouble.
"You stay here and take care of your injuries. I will take care of the matter between Yamausagi and Xiaoqing."
Pinggong Qianye let the injured young mountain god lie on the big jade stone to heal his wounds, and then walked towards the depths of the dense forest, walking very quickly like a gust of breeze.
The cause of this incident is not complicated, it can only be said to be a coincidence.
The mountain boy who was granted the title continued to incorporate nearby hilltops into his own mountain god territory.
The larger the territory, the greater the disputes it will cause.
This time, he fought against an old mountain god next door. Although he successfully drove the other party away, he was also injured.
At this time, strangers broke into the forest and captured monsters everywhere. Monsters such as the mountain rabbit that had returned to their own mountain were also persecuted.
The magic frog was separated from the mountain rabbit and came here for help.
But it was injured, and the hill where the mountain rabbit was located had not yet been incorporated into its mountain god territory, so it was difficult to take action.
Then it thought of contacting me and asking me to save the mountain rabbits and the others.
After the magic frog reported the news, it left first to look for the mountain rabbit.
After bidding farewell to the young mountain god, Pinggong Qianye had a grass ball carefully woven with vines and branches in his hand.
This is Yamausagi's favorite toy. She often plays with it in her hands, and it is filled with her scent.
It was sent by the magic frog, and you can search for the mountain rabbit based on the smell on it.
Late at night, from the forest shrouded in darkness, there were sounds of all kinds of mountain spirits and monsters.
There are more monsters in the mountains and forests than when he traveled here before.
This world is becoming more and more terrifying.
Heimiya Chiye looked at the bright moon in the sky that had emerged from the dark clouds, and couldn't help but think of Jingu Yaezakura.
With her around, finding the mountain rabbit is a piece of cake.
After searching for another two hours, Pinggong Qianye still hadn't found the mountain rabbit, but instead found Xiaoqing hiding in a tree hole.
