Chapter 186 Let me tell you a story
Li Xiuyuan knew his advantage.

With his strength, he couldn't escape from the cottage, and only by threatening his own life would he force the bandits to make a compromise.

Sure enough, the big boss who got the news came over in person.

"Why do you want to go on a hunger strike?!"

Her aura was still so fierce, she stared at Li Xiuyuan who was pale and haggard and asked coldly.

"I won't be your teacher."

Li Xiuyuan glanced at her, his voice was weak but he refused firmly.

"Are you looking down on us?"

A flash of anger flashed across Cen's shy eyes in an instant.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, "I am a layman who has not become a monk. The Buddha said that all living beings are equal. In my eyes, you are no different from ordinary creatures, let alone contempt or contempt."

Recalling the Buddhist scriptures that Li Xiuyuan carried with him, Cen Xiu seemed to have thought of something, but she was even more puzzled.

"Since all living beings are equal in your eyes."

"Then why don't you want to teach me the children in the mountains to read and write?"

Li Xiuyuan went straight to the point and said: "I am going to the west to worship Buddha and seek Taoism. Please forgive me for not having time to teach and educate people in your place. Otherwise, I would rather starve to death!"

"You are threatening me!"

Cen Yu was very annoyed when she heard the words, she pulled out the long sword from her waist and put it directly on Li Xiuyuan's neck.

Li Xiuyuan's face remained the same, he closed his eyes and recited the Heart Sutra silently.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"As expected of a lay Buddhist who sincerely seeks the Buddha!"

On the top of the mountain, the Buddhas of Lingshan felt relieved after seeing this scene.

"Li Xiuyuan, this name has a predestined relationship with my Buddha. The firmness of Zen is indeed worthy of the Buddha's respect. Goodness!"

"That's right, Buddhism needs such talents."

Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed softly.

"Everyone, don't think too hard about things."

"Don't forget that this film was shot by Heifengshan, there is absolutely no way to praise my Buddhism!"

Jianglong Arhat shook his head and said: "The words of Venerable Guanyin are wrong. Venerable Miao fear said before that although this "Saving You to Become a Buddha" was produced by Heifeng Mountain, it was filmed by the Celestial Family of Heaven."

"Based on the relationship between heaven and my Buddhism."

"Surely he wouldn't do such a smearing act."

"Yes!"

"What Venerable Jianglong said makes sense."

Because the Heavenly Court was extremely cooperative in learning scriptures from the Western Paradise at the beginning, the Buddhas in Lingshan were quite satisfied and trusted with the Heavenly Court.

……

Back to the movie.

Cen Xiu also seemed to be aware of Li Xiuyuan's determination.

After thinking for a moment, she put away her sword, turned around and sat down, and said lightly: "Scholar, since you want to leave, it's not that I can't agree. But before that, you have to promise me one condition!"

"What conditions?"

Seeing that Cen Shame was willing to make concessions, Li Xiuyuan was overjoyed.

Cen Xiu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Two years, as long as you are willing to teach in the mountains for two years, I will let you go."

Two years is not a long time for Li Xiuyuan.

"Okay, I promise you!"

Since then, Li Xiuyuan has worked as a teacher in the cottage.

Because he is a Juren, everyone in the village respects him very much. After all, in this era, scholars are always respected, even horse bandits are no exception.

Li Xiuyuan also gradually became acquainted with Shanren.

Especially for Cen Sha.

It turned out that her indifference was just on the outside, but inside she was a very caring woman who treated everyone in the village like relatives.

The people in the village reciprocated and respected her very much.

This is also the reason why she can inherit the position of head of the family from her father.

Winter to spring.

A year passed without knowing it.

Just when Li Xiuyuan lamented that there was still a year before he could embark on the road of asking Buddha again, Cen Yu suddenly fell ill.

There was a panic in the village.

This place is located outside Yumen Pass, which is already barren.

Coupled with years of fighting, how can there be a doctor with good medical skills nearby?The old doctor in the mountain tried various methods, but he still couldn't stop Cen Hui's condition, but made it worse.

Everyone in the cottage surrounded the room, and asked the old doctor who was seeing a doctor:
"Old Li, can you do it?"

Li Langzhong shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid there is nothing to do. Wang San died of this disease last year."

"Here we are."

"If you have this disease, you will be put on the book of life and death by Lord Yan!"

The people around the sickbed were struck by lightning.

Several women even wiped away their tears and sobbed: "Cen girl is only 20 years old this year, why is God so blind and wants to take her life away, woo woo woo..."

Li Langzhong retreated helplessly.

Li Xiuyuan outside was also very regretful. After getting along with him this year, his view of Cen Shu has changed a lot.

It would be a pity if such a wonderful woman died of illness.

But when he heard Li Langzhong and others talk about Cen Hui's illness, Li Xiuyuan suddenly felt something was wrong, because it seemed to be the illness he suffered from the previous spring!
He quickly asked Li Langzhong for details.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as when I was sick.

"Maybe, I can save her..."

Li Xiuyuan turned his head to look at the people in the cottage who came out of the room with heavy faces and weeping in a low voice, and murmured to himself.

……

Knowing that Li Xiuyuan has a way to cure Cen Xiu, everyone in the cottage was very pleasantly surprised and asked him to help.

Fortunately, Li Xiuyuan always remembered the prescription given by Master Wenxian back then, and sent someone to capture the necessary medicinal materials. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he personally cooked the medicinal soup and took care of Cen Xiu.

Maybe it's God's favor.

Under Li Xiuyuan's meticulous care, Cen Hui's condition finally stopped deteriorating and gradually began to improve.

half a month later.

"Thank you this time, Mr. Li."

Covered by the quilt, Cen Xiu leaned on the sickbed, handed the finished medicine bowl to Li Xiuyuan, and thanked him softly.

Li Xiuyuan took the medicine bowl, with a faint smile on his face, "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I also take good care of Miss Cen in the mountains. Doing what I can is the right thing to do."

Cen Yu also smiled lightly, and then asked, "Mr. Li, the children haven't missed their homework, have they?"

"Don't worry, they are very self-conscious."

"Even the naughtiest little tiger practices calligraphy until late every day."

Li Xiuyuan packed the medicine jar and said cheerfully.

Cen Xiu looked at Li Xiuyuan's figure, first smiled, then felt sad, "It's a pity that they won't see the husband they like next year. I don't know if they will work so hard in the future."

Li Xiuyuan froze, then turned his head and sat down.

"Miss Cen, I have a question that I have been wanting to ask you for a long time." Li Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, and then said.

"Mr. Li, please tell me."

Li Xiuyuan then said: "Why do you want to be horse bandits on the mountain? I can see that the people in the village are all people who yearn for a stable life. Why don't you be a commoner who lives and works in peace?"

"Children have books to read, old people play with their grandchildren, men farm and women weave, and the countryside is a companion, isn't it good?"

After hearing this, Cen Shu couldn't help but lose his mind slightly.

a long time.

She raised her eyes, "Master Li, let me tell you a story."

"Once upon a time, there was a village where people worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. They were like a family and supported each other. Although life was a bit poor, they enjoyed it and were very satisfied."

"One day, the barbarians invaded on a large scale. They burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil, destroying the village."

"The survivors fled to the pass."

"On the way, they met the officers and soldiers. They thought it was the savior, but they didn't expect that they were greeted by the swords of the officers and soldiers!"

"Some were killed and some escaped."

"Those who escaped later learned that the heads of the villagers who were killed were taken by the officers and soldiers for credit, not only their villagers' heads, but also the heads of villagers who fled from other villages."

"The survivors didn't dare to go back. They found an abandoned village and tried to settle down."

"When they thought life could go on."

"The horse bandit is here."

"It wasn't until this moment that they finally realized that the old days can never go back..."

Cen Xiu looked at the silent Li Xiuyuan, "They have prayed to God and worshiped Buddha, but when suffering comes, God is not there, and neither is Buddha."

"Only those who live and work in peace and contentment are qualified to worship them."

"And they never deserved it."

Li Xiuyuan raised his head and looked at Cen Shu, who was sick and weak with a sad smile, as if something was touched in his heart.

The eyes of the two people looked at each other for a long time, and they were full of words for a while.

"Asthma, why are you sniffling all of a sudden?"

Back Mountain Villa.

Yang Chan, who was watching a movie, looked at Xiaotiangou suspiciously.

The Roaring Dog shook its head and did not answer. It couldn't tell Yang Chan that whenever it saw a man and a woman looking at each other, it would always be unable to resist smelling that peculiar fragrance.

Well, speaking of it...

This should all be blamed on Miss San and Xiong Yao!
