Journey to the West I am the Demon Lord of Hundred Eyes

Chapter 93 How to Fetch Water in a Bamboo Basket

On this day, village craftsmen are painting the statues of the three gods in the Sanqing Hall.

Wu Ming led the crowd to pay homage to Lord Tianzun first, and then started.

Then I saw an old woman walking slowly to the mountain gate with a bamboo basket on her shoulders.

Look at her:
Wearing a square scarf on his head and wearing hemp, his pale face and white hair are bent, his eyes are as cloudy as the Yellow River, his eyebrows are as sparse as scorched earth, and his body keeps coming and going.

Seeing the three big characters of Huanghuaguan, he smiled slightly, and then reached the peak with three steps and three stops.

Seeing that it was an old mother, many men couldn't help being curious, why did they come to this high mountain?
Daniu came over first and asked, "Where did the old mother come from, and why did she come to this barren mountain by herself?"

The old mother took a breath and said, "I'm from the south, and I'm going to join my son in the north, but I was thirsty on the way, so I came up to beg for some water."

Daniel immediately smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. Lin Si went to the well in the courtyard to get a bowl of water."

"okay."

But the old woman stopped her: "Slow down, I have my own tools for drinking water."

Daniu thought that she disliked him and others, but he didn't show his displeasure in his heart.

"Please ask the old mother to bring it, and I will ask them to fetch water for you."

"Okay, okay, this is it."

But she saw that she took off the bamboo basket she was carrying and handed it to Da Niudao.

But I saw that the bamboo basket, with a few silks soaked in oil, penetrated ten holes, how could it get water?

"Old mother, maybe you are too old to remember correctly. Is there a jade bowl and tea saucer in this bamboo basket?"

The old woman smiled and shook her head: "That's right, who of you will fetch water for me?"

Daniu took the bamboo basket and dubiously carried it to the well to fetch water himself.

By the octagonal well in the backyard, a puddle of clear water was gushing out. He took a bamboo basket and reached into the water to scoop it up.

A miraculous thing happened, I saw a basket of water contained in it drip-tightly, and when I reached out to poke it, the hole was unobstructed.

"Strange things, strange things, could it be another living fairy?"

When Yuan Daniu really came out with water in a bamboo basket, the villagers were shocked.

The old woman took the bamboo basket, drank the water from the well with a gulp, and then said: "I still want to drink some water, one of you will fetch some for me."

"I go."

Lin Si'er snatched it first, took the bamboo basket and ran to the well to fetch water.

puff.

Filled with water, seeing that it really did not leak, and then ran out happily.

The old woman was still thirsty after eating the basket of water, so three or four young men took the bamboo basket and rushed away.

They also used bamboo baskets to fetch water!
For a while, the villagers and craftsmen gathered around to watch curiously, and Wu Ming in the hall was also alarmed.

"what happened?"

"Daoist, this old mother is probably a fairy, she asked us to use the bamboo basket to fetch water for her, and it didn't leak a single drop."

Daniel leaned over and whispered.

Wu Ming was curious, so he went up to check, and saw that the old mother was holding a bamboo basket, sipping water, opening her eyes, wrinkling her nose and sniffing lightly. There was neither auspicious cloud nor evil spirit.

He stepped forward and gave a salute: "It's polite to be poor, so where is the old lady?"

After drinking the water, the old woman took down the bamboo basket and was about to leave, but the villagers quit and stopped her.

"Why is this old godly woman so rude? The Daoist asked her kindly, but she left without saying a word!"

"The ancients said that drinking water never forgets the well digger, she..."

The old woman couldn't get away for a while, so she said: "It's a disaster, I see that you have a fierce look on your face, I'm afraid the disaster will come soon and you will die without a place to bury you. I dare not stay and let me go!"

Now many villagers don't do it even more, asking her to speak clearly, what is it about cursing people?

The old woman couldn't walk away and said angrily: "Young man, how are you doing?"

Wu Ming couldn't figure out what was going on with her, so he stepped forward to help her sit down and said, "The old lady is kind and compassionate, please explain clearly to the boy, I am very grateful."

"Go fetch me a basket of water, and I'll talk to you again!"

Immediately, a villager wanted to fight for him, but the old woman scolded him: "I want him to go, why do you have too many hands?"

Wu Ming carried the bamboo basket and looked at it as he walked, it really looked like an ordinary bamboo basket.

Go to the well, press the bamboo basket into the water, and lift it up.

clap la la...

But I saw that the water leaked from the gap and hole after two strokes.

Hit it again, leak it again, and never get water three times in a row.

He also used mana to drag the water into the bamboo basket, but it still couldn't hold the water.

In the yard, the old woman smiled slightly.

Half an hour later, Wu Ming came over with a basket of water, but Daniel refused to take it.

The old woman's face changed slightly immediately: "Here, you actually called up?"

Daniel was a little surprised why he fought for so long, but he saw Wu Ming smiled and said: "Fetching water with a bamboo basket is nothing."

"Hey, you Taoist priest has a Taoist heart and some supernatural powers, so you don't have much to say at such an old age, so let's go."

Wu Ming stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Old Madam, why don't you drink the water that Pindao drew with his own hands, aren't you still thirsty?"

The old woman looked at him, picked up the bamboo basket and started drinking without saying anything.

Gudongdong, Gudongdong——

The water seemed to be drunk endlessly. After drinking for half an hour, the villagers were amazed. How did this bamboo basket hold so much water?

He really is a fairy!
"The old man thanked the little Taoist priest for his hospitality, but we still need to keep in mind that it will be difficult if we are a little slack."

After that, he turned around and went down the mountain.

"Huh? That old woman's legs are so agile, she can't see anyone!"

Daniu knew this extraordinary person in his heart, so he called everyone to work.

Wu Ming then went to the Sanqing Hall and offered incense to worship.

Although I don't know who the old woman is, I can be sure that the other party is targeting me, so I can't help but feel a sense of tension.

He has already felt the benefits from the beginning of the Taoist temple, and the cultivation is more and more handy, and the level of immortality is getting closer, and the road ahead is clearer.

If we really set up a mountain gate, I am afraid that it will not take a few years not to say that we will become immortals immediately, and then spread the word to the east, preach the word to others, practice the mind and practice the law, then there is hope for true immortals and a way to live forever.

Combined with the secret told by the Taoist ancestor, do you want to participate in the Journey to the West to plan something, maybe try to pick a celestial fairy fruit?
There is indeed such a risk. Although he is known as the ancestor and grandson of Taoism, no one can guess what Tianzun is thinking, and it is hard to say whether he can save himself.

Generally speaking, you still need to be strong, so you have to take the initiative, and the lion and camel country may be able to squeeze some wool.

The three monsters of Shituoling seem to be eyeing their own flat peaches. If they exchange the three of them for silver to build a Taoist temple, is it feasible?

It's just that Huang Feng blames that fellow's samadhi kamikaze for some trouble.

At noon, the craftsmen went to the backyard to fetch water to drink when they were thirsty from work, and saw that the octagonal well was full of water, but it turned into a dark bottomless hole.

"Hey, why is there no water in this thousand-foot-deep well..."

-

But it was said that the old woman crossed the mountain and went south in a few flashes after she went down the mountain. After a while, she saw a pavilion with a female Bodhisattva sitting in it.

The female Bodhisattva had luxurious makeup, but when she saw the person, she smiled and said, "Why, are you full of water?"

But the old woman scolded: "Old godmother, I only drink water from one well, but you have to eat the bitterness of that sea!"

"Hmph, let's wait and see!"

The two went away in auspicious light.
