Buddhism

Kong Qing and Chi Tong didn't have any special purpose for this trip, the main purpose was to travel around and feel the atmosphere of fireworks in the world.

Since I haven't seen Nan Ming for several years, Kong Qing is a nostalgic person, and I feel very grateful for not seeing Nan Ming for a long time.Judging from the region where Nan Ming sent the letter, Nan Ming has been heading south.They simply walked along the south to see if they could meet Nan Ming, whom they hadn't seen for many years.

They stop and go along the way, begging for alms and giving alms, freely and leisurely.

The two people's footsteps were not fast, and sometimes they missed the town where they settled, so they could only eat and sleep in the wild in the mountains.These days, Kong Qing has gotten used to it. Although he was not used to it at first, because of Chitong's company, he gradually got used to it.

He has escaped into Buddhism for many years. Although he didn't stay in the monastery for a long time, his devotion to Buddha is eternal.He must first taste the hardships of this world for himself before he can be more convincing to save others.

Today, the two of them failed to catch up with the villages or towns where they could settle. After they ate something casually, they rested in the woods beside them.

The night is deep, the cold moon shines on everything, and there is no sound.Chi Tong, who had always been in a light sleep, suddenly heard a slight sound. He got up quietly, and passed through the bushes, and saw a little demon approaching the graveyard not far away. It bowed to the tombstone, and then They began to steal the offerings offered by humans in front of the grave.

It ate voraciously and looked as if it hadn't eaten for a long time.Dressed in rags, he looked like a beggar.

Kong Qing felt Chitong stand up, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Seeing that it was a little demon, Chi Tong didn't care: "It's okay, just go on sleeping."

It was not far away, and it was quiet at night.At this time, the sound of the little demon gobbling food became more obvious.Curious, Kong Qing also sat up and looked out of the bushes.

I saw that little demon was yellow and thin, probably because he was not cultivated enough, and he couldn't transform into a complete human form. He had a human body and face, but he had a long plush tail, and what was exposed were not human hands and feet, but only limbs. Fluffy paws.A head of messy black hair with a pair of protruding furry ears.The whole body is yellowish brown, which looks a bit cute.

He ate indiscriminately, eating up all the sacrifices in front of the grave, and his stomach was visibly distended.After eating, he tidied up the grave, bowed to the grave, and left the grave with a full belch.

Seeing this, Kong Qing felt that this little demon was quite interesting, not only would he take the initiative to clean up after eating, but he would also respect the dead.He also looks like a pure, kind and virtuous little demon.

Not far from where Kong Qing and Chi Tong were resting, it found a big tree and lay down. "Hic!" Xiao Yao stared blankly at the front, "Hic!" He may have eaten too much, or he may have been hiccupping rhythmically because he ate too fast.The hiccups kept him from sleeping, and it was so uncomfortable that he rolled over and sat up.Still staring straight ahead in a daze, feeling very helpless at this reaction.

Kong Qing looked at the little demon amusedly, and wanted to remind it to drink some water.But he looked timid looking around, and was afraid of scaring him away, so he simply didn't speak, thinking that it might be all right after a while.

His hiccups lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and Chitong couldn't take it anymore, and he threw his water bag out.The little demon looked at the water bag that hit him, and hid back in fright, trembling, really very timid.

Chi Tong didn't care whether he was frightened or not, and said coldly: "Drink water, it's too noisy." He didn't really dislike the little monster's noise, but he was worried about the lack of sleep.Kong Qing's sleep in the wild has always been very light. The rhythmic hiccups of this little demon are obviously very noisy. At this time, Kong Qing is not only sleeping, but he has to worry about what will happen to him.

The little demon hid behind the tree, holding his breath and belching, with a very aggrieved expression on his face.For some reason, a water sac suddenly appeared, and there was that cold and obviously impatient voice.

Kong Qing looked at Chitong's slightly closed eyes, knowing that he wouldn't care.In order to prevent the little demon from being frightened, he had no choice but to walk out of the bushes by himself.He picked up the water bag on the ground and said, "You've been hiccupping, drinking some water will make you feel better."

Seeing him coming out, the little demon hid her whole body behind the tree, and it took a long time to poke out half of her head and look at him timidly.

Kong Qing met its pair of round and big light brown pupils, smiled slightly, opened the water bag by himself, took a sip and said, "Look, it's not poisonous, you can drink it."

Seeing Kong Qing's kind expression and gentle words, the little demon was not as scared as before.Out of the goblin's instinct, it felt that the cold voice behind the bushes was the biggest threat.

Kong Qing watched the little demon looking behind him vigilantly, and knew that he was afraid of Chi Tong.

They met by chance and showed their hospitality suddenly, which was indeed a bit hasty.Kong Qing didn't want to explain too much, and it seemed more suspicious if he talked too much in the middle of the night. He put the water bag under the big tree where the little demon was hiding, and with his smile still on, he turned and retreated into the bushes.

The little demon was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Kong Qing to be so considerate, but it was timid and cowardly, and hid behind the tree for a while.Because of the fear of red pupils, it has been suppressing hiccups, and it is really uncomfortable to continue doing this.It stared at the direction Kong Qing was going back for a moment, then carefully moved out bit by bit, and hooked the water bag over.After succeeding, he quickly hid behind the tree, feeling so uncomfortable that he immediately opened the water bag and gulped down.

After drinking it, the hiccups stopped after a while.He still wanted to drink more, but there was no water in the water bag.He licked his lips, and subconsciously glanced behind him, as if he was thinking of drinking all the other people's water, not knowing how to explain it.

It doesn't speak often, and its voice is very hoarse, which is particularly unpleasant.Although he wanted to thank him, he didn't dare to speak out.Don't make a sound in the middle of the night to scare yourself, but also scare others, it is really "too much".

For so long, Kong Qing is the only human being who is not afraid of it, does not attack it, and even helps it, except for his mother.This moved the little demon very much. It held the water bag and listened quietly, but there was no sound from there.It thinks that it is best to sleep in the dead of night, and they should be asleep.

It still doesn't want to do things like disturbing people's lucid dreams, so it's inconvenient to disturb.It hugged the water bladder and fell asleep in a daze.When he woke up again, it was past dawn.

He sniffed subconsciously, but the two special smells from yesterday were no longer in the air. He was startled, maybe he had overslept, so they all left.

He hurriedly got up and pushed aside the bushes. There was a clean and flat stone wall inside the bushes, and there was no one in it.The little demon looked at the water bag in his arms in frustration, he hasn't returned the water bag yet, how can this work.

He sniffed again, looking for the smell and chasing after it, no matter what, he had to return the water sac.

He chased all the way, and chased Kong Qing and Chitong by a small stream.He originally wanted to move forward, but he was subconsciously afraid of Chitong, stopped abruptly and stood there at a loss.

When Kong Qing and Chi Tong heard the sound, they turned their heads and saw the water bag in Xiao Yao's arms, standing there looking at them helplessly.

Obviously, it chased them so anxiously, and it came to return their water bladders.

Chitong turned back, sat by the river grilling fish, and ignored it indifferently.

Knowing that Xiao Yao was still afraid of Chi Tong, Kong Qing got up and walked over, asking, "Are you here to return the water bag?"

The little demon opened his mouth to speak, but moved his lips but did not make a sound, sighed for a long time and gave up the pronunciation, and nodded in a stupid way.

Kong Qing admired the little monster's behavior of returning the water bag, and his affection for the little monster deepened, and he said with a smile: "We still have this, save this for you to use. This is easy to carry, and you can also drink water in the future." Can be more convenient."

Xiao Yao looked at the water bag in his hand, and then at Kongqing.The fluffy paws felt in his bosom, and two fairly fresh fruits came out.He handed it to Kong Qing.

Kong Qing smiled, he seemed to like this little demon more and more, although it was ragged, yellow and emaciated, it looked like a beggar.It looks straightforward but also knows the gratitude of dripping water.It must be good to teach it well if it has such a temperament. If it is a human child, it will definitely achieve great things in the future.

Kong Qing shook his head: "No need, you can keep it for yourself."

Xiao Yao didn't take it back, but looked at Kong Qing persistently.With this posture, if Kong Qing doesn't accept his fruit, he won't accept the water bag presented by Kong Qing either.

Seeing its temperament, Kong Qing had no choice but to accept it.

When Kong Qing accepted it, the little demon smiled cutely with the corners of his mouth pulled.Turning around, he ran to the river not far from Kongqing and Chitong, squatted down with his thin body, took a few sips of river water, filled the water bag, washed his face, and then sat down under the big tree beside him. down.It had just been running all the way, and it was already a little tired at this time.

Kong Qing washed the fruit and handed one to Chi Tong.Chitong shook his head, expressing that he would not eat.Kong Qing didn't force himself, and started eating by himself.

While eating the fruit, he looked at the little demon sitting under the shade of the tree, and thought: "I haven't seen it say a word for so long, can it still not speak?"

Kong Qing looked left and right and couldn't see what the little demon's real body was, so he asked curiously: "Chi Tong, do you know what the little demon's real body is?"

It takes at least a few hundred years of practice for a demon to transform into a human form. This little demon has a faint demonic aura, and his cultivation is almost negligible. As for its half-monster, half-human body shape, it is somewhat rare.Chitong guessed: "It might be a half-demon. If it's real, it looks like a raccoon dog."

"Half-demon?"

"It is the child born of a demon and a human being."

"..." Kong Qing was relatively speechless, this little demon's life is so miserable, it can be seen that his relatives should be gone.It is a human and a demon, whether it is a human or a demon, as it has only half blood, most of it will not be liked by its kind.At such a young age, it has no food to eat, no clothes to cover its body, and no family to protect it. It may be very difficult to survive.

The smell of grilled fish blew to Xiao Yao's side with the breeze. Xiao Yao looked at it salivatingly, and swallowed subconsciously. It hadn't tasted this kind of smell for a long time.

Kong Qing felt the little demon's hungry eyes, but the little demon only glanced twice.Then he immediately turned his face away, but his throat was still throbbing up and down, as if he was swallowing saliva.

The little demon smelled the smell of fish, and his stomach growled.It fumbled in its bosom, only to find a shriveled fruit, it didn't dislike it, wiped it on its body, watched the river wrinkled by the breeze, and ate it quietly.

Kong Qing sees this, this little demon is really sensible and makes people feel distressed.Unable to bear it, he took the grilled fish Chitong gave him and walked towards the little demon.

Seeing this, Chitong didn't stop her, she set up another fish and continued to roast.

Kong Qing handed the fish to Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao looked at the grilled fish in front of him, and then at Kong Qing's usual kindness, his eyes wet unconsciously.They didn't know each other before, but he was so kind to himself over and over again.

The solid and tall heart wall that stood in its heart collapsed suddenly. It turned out that it was not always so strong, but because no one cared about it, it had to be strong.

Kong Qing pretended not to see the sparkle in its eyes, and said softly, "Eat it, we still have it over there."

The little demon tried his best to open his eyes wide, not to let the tears fall, and smiled with the corners of his mouth: "Thank you!" His voice was hoarse, like the voice of an old man who was 80 or [-] years old.

Hearing its sound, Kongqing was still surprised.But it was even more surprising how its voice was so hoarse and broken at such a young age, but it was indifferent on the surface, and still smiled faintly.

Xiao Yao immediately covered her mouth and looked at Kong Qing cautiously.Seeing that his expression was the same, he was relieved, fortunately he was not frightened.

Kong Qing sat down next to Xiao Yao, who was a little cautious, and slowly ate the fish mouthful, but he didn't expect Kong Qing to sit down to accompany him.

Kong Qing looked at the little demon eating Xiangsisiwenwen, which was completely different from yesterday, obviously he couldn't let go.He casually asked, "What's your name?"

"Zhizi." The little demon smiled lightly, this is the name her mother gave it.

"Life and death are in agreement with each other, talk to Zicheng; hold your hand, and grow old together with you. Hold on?" Kong Qing asked.

Xiao Yao nodded: "Yes."

Life and death are in agreement with Zicheng, and they hold the hand of the son and grow old together.It symbolizes the unswerving loyal love, which shows how much its parents love each other.It is sad that it is left alone now.

Kong Qing chatted with the half-demon Zhizi for a long time. When he knew Zhizi's life experience and how he lived alone and strong, he really couldn't bear to let him continue to live alone and at a loss in this world.At that moment, I decided to take him with me, help him practice, grow up with him, and take care of him like a younger brother.

With the help of Chitong, Zhizi can restore his demon body at any time and become a half-sized raccoon dog.It can also transform into a full human form at any time, a normal human child with white palms and toes, no tail and fluffy ears.

Most of the time he will be a demon body, which will be more helpful to his cultivation, so he just follows Kong Qing and Chi Tong.

All this is like a dream to Zhizi, not only does he no longer have to worry about being spurned and bullied by other monsters every day.You can also eat and drink as much as you want, dress warmly, and get the care and careful teaching of Kong Qing.He thought that his mother must have blessed him in heaven, knowing that he was lonely and afraid, so Kong Qing came to his side to take care of him and protect him.
