5 Consider

After that slaughter, all the survivors of the caravan lost their relaxed attitude at the beginning, and the atmosphere was sluggish as they hurryed on their way. Fortunately, the journey after that was relatively smooth, and the caravan arrived at its destination, Yanzhu City, in less than two days.

Compared with small towns, this Yanzhu City can be regarded as a big city, because it occupies an important north-south traffic area, extending in all directions, and it is a place where merchants from all over the world gather.

Xu Zhang team invited Wei Xuan and others to stay with him temporarily in the hotel after entering Yanzhu City. After he handed over the goods, they could go to Guxi together. Xu Zhang's caravan belongs to the Gu Xilian family, which is a famous big family in the country. The reason why he treats Wei Xuan and others so politely is that he also has the idea of ​​recruiting talents for the family. .

Wei Xuan had lingering fears when he thought of the chaos of the previous two days, and felt that it was better to act with the caravan, so he agreed and decided to stay in Yanzhu for a few days.

Murphy stayed alone in the room prepared for her by Xu Zhang's team, quietly thinking about the way forward. She has no identity certificate and no money. It is almost impossible for her to leave Wei Xuan and others, but she can't always rely on him. Although Wei Xuan is quite talented, she is still just an ordinary scholar and has no ability to protect herself. Besides, she doesn't want to entrust her future to others, so she must have a plan.

Now that the talisman can't be done for the time being, then at least you need to prepare some money for yourself.

She opened her backpack and took out the contents one by one. One set of toothbrush and toothpaste, one towel, one cosmetic mirror, two sets of underwear, two sets of outer pants, two packs of sanitary napkins and one pack of pads, two bottles of antiseptic hemostatic medicine, two bundles of bandages, one box of bandages, one small flashlight, one A lighter, a military dagger, a compass, a ballpoint pen, a bag of refills, a notebook, and the rest, such as an ID card wallet and the like, were basically useless, and the food that I had brought with me was also exhausted.

Murphy was a little tangled when she got the sanitary napkin. As a woman, the once-a-month trouble is really troublesome this time. Once the two packs are used up, she has to find a way. If you make something that is clean and suitable for use by yourself, if the craftsmanship is not good enough, it will be a shame to leak something. Shameful or small, if she is found to be a daughter, she will not be eaten alive? You must know that there is no equality between men and women in this era, not even the most basic human rights.

Shaking his head, I don't want to think about it for now. The most urgent thing at the moment is money. Glancing over the items on the cases one by one, Murphy saw his vanity mirror. This is a foldable round mirror, with delicate and elegant patterns carved on the outside, and an artificial gemstone inlaid in the middle, which is dazzling and dazzling. Open the lid, one side is a mirror, and the other side is a crystal clear curved small comb. This thing is only a hundred yuan in modern times, but in ancient times, both the workmanship and the clear mirror surface are unique, not to mention priceless, but it should be able to exchange a lot of money.

She likes this mirror very much, but in order to survive, she has to reluctantly part with her love. Once she sells it, she will never come back.

Murphy put the other things back in his backpack, and the vanity mirror in his arms. She decided to go to the Xu Zhang team tomorrow. In his capacity, she should know a lot of people who can afford it. In addition, he wants to befriend Wei Xuan now. It is estimated that he will not be malicious for a mirror.

While thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door, Murphy opened the door and saw that it was Wei Xuan.

She hurriedly invited Wei Xuan into the room and poured him some tea by the way.

"Fu Tu, did you rest well yesterday?"

"Thanks to Mr. Wenzhong, everything is fine."

Wei Xuan laughed a few times and said, "Team Xu said that they will set off for Guxi in three days. The journey is about six or seven days. It is estimated that it will take some hard work."

"It doesn't matter if you work hard, as long as you don't encounter bandits anymore."

"Yeah." Wei Xuan said, "I hope everything goes well. When I see those who have died, I feel sad in my heart and at the same time I have to be glad that I can survive."

Murphy was silent.

"That's right." Wei Xuan said again, "Remember that when you were mourning those refugees who died of illness, you once recited a paragraph of text, and I have been curious to know what it is?"

Murphy was stunned for a moment, and replied, "I'm reciting the Heart Sutra of the Buddhist scriptures, the general Ruoparamita."

"Buddhism? Heart Sutra?" Wei Xuan said in amazement, "I know the Law and Morality, but I have never heard of Buddhism. I don't know how to explain this Buddha? Who created it?"

Mo Fei thought to himself that it shouldn't be a big problem to introduce Buddhism. After all, it is unknown whether there is Buddhism in this world. Even if there is, she will probably be dead by the time it is introduced.

So she said, "Buddhism was created by a wise man named 'Sakyamuni'. It is said that Sakyamuni attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and thoroughly understood the fundamental principles of life in the universe. Therefore, Buddha is also an enlightened being, a Enlightened people have great wisdom, great compassion, and great power. Buddhism has compiled many Buddhist scriptures, and the Heart Sutra is one of them. There is no hindrance in the heart, no hindrance, so there is no fear", that is to say, use the "prajna wisdom" of one's own heart to move oneself from the side of life and death to the side of happiness and liberation, and return to the original purity of each person. Heart, quiet heart, bright heart. Don't care about those vain perceptions, thoughts and actions, gain or lose honor or disgrace."

Speaking of which, Murphy suddenly thought of the jade talisman with the word "Fu Tu" on her neck. Buddha was also translated as "Buddha", "Buddha" and "Fu Tu". Is this related to her jade talisman? Remember that before the bandit appeared last time, it was abnormally hot. Could it be a warning?

Wei Xuan listened to it for a while, and after a while he said: "I am very interested in various teachings. After listening to you, I feel quite meaningful. I don't know when this Buddhism will spread to all countries?"

"Maybe...it can't be widely spread." Mo Fei said lightly, "I only know a little about it from my teacher, and I haven't heard of anyone teaching."

Wei Xuan was a little surprised, wondering if Futu's teacher or his predecessor was Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism? So this sect is still unknown? Fu Tu has always been very secretive about his teacher, and he is not even willing to reveal his name, but this mysterious elder is definitely a person of great wisdom. This person had obviously been in seclusion for a long time, otherwise Fu Tu would not be able to understand the current situation.

If Murphy knew that Wei Xuan had guessed that she was a student of Shakyamuni, he would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry.

Wei Xuan didn't do more inquiries, he just said: "I don't understand the language you used when you read it last time. I wonder if you can ask Futu to transcribe a copy of the Heart Sutra for your reference?"

"I'm happy." Mo Fei readily agreed.

When Wei Xuan was sent off, she asked someone to bring some bundles of bamboo slips and pen and ink. The Heart Sutra is the one with the smallest number of words in the Buddhist scriptures. It doesn't take much time to copy it, but she has to write it in ancient script, which takes some time. Although she was influenced by her teacher and often practiced calligraphy in various fonts, copying is one thing, writing by herself is another, and she also has to be careful not to make mistakes, so she has to slow down word by word. Write slowly. She thought that if she practiced more in the future, as long as she was thoroughly familiar with the writing of ancient li, her speed would be improved.

While she was concentrating on writing the Heart Sutra, she didn't notice the figure of a man who appeared outside the door. That man was the martial artist Guhe.

He stood silently by the door, staring at the man who was kneeling uprightly sitting in front of the desk and writing. A few beams of sunset came in from the opposite window and sprinkled on the young man, revealing a halo of light. It was quiet and gentle, making people reluctant to part with it. Look away.

Gu He suddenly felt that the person in front of him was out of reach. Maybe he has been looked down upon by him, can he really catch up with him?

"Ah, Young Master Guhe." Mo Fei, who had just finished writing the Heart Sutra, looked up and saw Guhe leaning against the door. She stood up and greeted.

Gu He smiled again, walked in a few steps and looked around, and said critically: "It's really simple here."

Murphy poured tea for him and replied, "I'm lucky to have a place to cover myself when I'm drifting outside."

"That's why," Lone Crane sat on the mat, "you should follow me, I'm a first-class warrior, I have a house and a farm, I can definitely support you."

Murphy raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Gu He didn't care, took a sip of the tea, then took a look at what Murphy had just written, and asked strangely, "What is this?"

"It's just a scripture, it's not very useful." Murphy replied casually, she believed that Guhe would not be interested in this.

Sure enough, Gu He didn't ask any more questions, but just said, "A came here today to tell you that A has promised Xu Zhang's re-invitation, and has been escorting you to Guxi, and we still have time to get along in the next few days." , with a happy smile on his face.

Murphy just glanced at him lightly and said, "Then please take care of me."

Guhe curled his lips in an uninteresting manner, and suddenly leaned into her ear and said softly, "You always look indifferent, and you don't know when you'll see your panic or joy. Could it be... in bed?"

Mo Fei frowned and was about to rebuke, but Gu He got up first and laughed: "There are other things, so let's go first."

When the man was about to walk out of the room, Murphy suddenly stopped him: "Wait."

Gu He turned around unexpectedly and watched Murphy walk inside, but came out again after a while, she handed the things in her hand to Gu He and said: "Last time you saved me, I really don't know how to thank you, I can only use This right is a thank you."

"What is this?" Gu He curiously took the two things that Murphy handed over, one was a translucent bottle that he had never seen before, and the other was a bundle of white gauze.

Murphy replied: "This bottle contains a hemostatic potion, which has a miraculous effect on trauma, and the other is a bandage for dressing the wound. I think you, as a warrior, are often injured, this should be useful to you."

"Heh." Gu He played with the bottle in his hand with great interest, thinking that the bottle alone would be worth a lot.

"Please keep it safe. The effect of this potion is definitely more than any other wound medicine. Maybe it can save your life."

"Hey." Gu He took the thing into his arms and said with a smile, "Although a certain person likes you to repay your favor, he still can't bear to accept your kindness, so he accepts it first." At this time, Gu He said. Crane still didn't know the importance of this potion. In the era of backward medical skills, if the trauma is not handled properly, it may lose his life. It is very necessary to be able to disinfect and stop the bleeding in time.

Murphy could only try to ignore the man's occasional rhetoric. When she saw the things were finished, she made a gesture of seeing off the guests and said, "Well, let's go."

"It's so cold." Gu He muttered in dissatisfaction, turned around and prepared to leave, after a few steps, he stopped and looked at Murphy, calmly said, "Fu Tu, if one day in the future you will stand out and become famous , are you willing to let someone be your guardian?"

Mo Fei was stunned, looked at him for a long time, and said, "If there is such a day, please come to me."

Only then did Gu He laughed, humming an unknown song and strode away.
