At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 274
Gao Shou and the others were all dumbfounded, thinking that Gao Bufan had brought Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva back, they almost couldn't help but knelt down and kowtowed in worship.A flash of surprise flashed in Gao Bufan's eyes, because at this time, Bai Yunshang's temperament had changed again. Although he was still smiling and his eyes were compassionate, he seemed to be sitting on the clouds again. not close.

Gao Bufan doubts that Bai Yunshang is a traverser with its own "system" and can switch modes freely!
Bai Yunshang obviously remembered Gao Bufan's words, and stood still a foot away, looked at the stone stove for burning lime with slightly curious eyes, and asked, "Master Gao, what are you doing?"

Gao Ren immediately responded in a courteous manner: "Bodhisattva...Miss Bai doesn't know something. My son is refining something that can eliminate plague ghosts."

Jueyuan snorted coldly when he heard the words: "Alchemy and drawing talismans to drive away ghosts, and making mysteries is a common trick of the Taoist sect. Could it be that the high benefactor is a member of the Taoist sect?"

Ever since he learned about the grievances between Buddhism and Taoism, Gao Bufan’s hostile attitude towards Jue Yuan is not surprising. After all, the two incidents of extermination of Buddhism in history were planned and promoted by Taoism behind the scenes. Why are you so aggressive, and said indifferently: "I am not a member of the Taoist sect, nor do I know how to make alchemy and draw talismans, but my teacher has profound Buddhist teachings. It is better to recite scriptures and do the method to get rid of the plague ghosts here. I am sure the people here will be grateful. It may even give you a living Buddha to pay homage to."

Jue Yuan was so swallowed that he couldn't speak, he could only let out a cold snort to express his dissatisfaction, in terms of bickering, she is no match for Gao Bufan.

Gao Bufan built a fire nearby, and then said to Bai Yunshang, "You guys have been in the epidemic area just now, you'd better roast it." He pointed to the handy shovel in the hands of Jue Yuan and Jue Hui, continued Said: "Especially these two things."

The expressions of Gao Shixiong and the others suddenly became weird. They roasted the fire thoroughly yesterday, and Gao Shiheng almost turned into a "flamingo". Could it be that the Goddess Guanyin, who is so full of dust, also looks like that?
Thinking of this, Zhu Huo couldn't help being excited, but soon felt ashamed of himself, thinking that having such a dirty idea was simply a kind of blasphemy against the Guanyin Empress, and he deserved death.

"Thank you!" Bai Yunshang didn't ask the reason, and walked to the fire with a thank you. First, he stretched his feet into the flames and roasted the soles of his boots, and then wiped his sleeves back and forth over the flames several times. is also like this.

Gao Bufan couldn't help being a little surprised. Could it be that this woman also knows that high temperature can sterilize bacteria?
Jue Yuan and Jue Hui did the same at this time, and put the convenience shovel on the fire to roast until it turned red.Gao Bufan was relieved when he saw this, but bacteria and viruses are invisible to the naked eye, and rat fleas are also very small. The three of them have been in the epidemic area, and the two nuns have even been in contact with dead bodies. Or the poisonous rat fleas jumped on the clothes, so the safest way is to take off the clothes and bake them inside and out, and then wash them thoroughly in the river.

But this is obviously unrealistic. After all, she is a woman. Bai Yunshang looks very clean and spotless, and there should be no fleas on her body, but the two nuns are hard to say. They look a little sloppy, with mud stains on their clothes and boots , It is estimated that there was a lot of digging and burying corpses along the way.

The fatality rate of the plague was too high, so Gao Bufan finally decided to let Guanyin Bodhisattva and her two attendants take a bath to prevent future troubles.

Hence, Gao Bufan dug two pools beside the creek in the valley, one high and the other low, and then laid a layer of pebbles under the low pool, and then first introduced the stream water into the high pool, The first burnt quicklime was thrown into the pool, and after a violent exothermic reaction, the quicklime finally turned into slaked lime.

Finally, Gao Bufan led the slaked lime water into the second low-lying pool, and said to Bai Yunshang, "Take a bath."

Bai Yunshang watched Gao Bufan busy for a long time from a few meters away, but he didn't understand why, but Gao Bufan said this to her after finishing, even if she had a firm mind, she couldn't help being stunned, and then her cheeks turned red At this moment, Gao Bufan felt that she had descended from the cloud again, and turned into a kind and amiable big sister next door.

After Juehui and Jueyuan were astonished, they flew into a rage, what a shameless person, you have been busy for a long time pretending to be mysterious, but you just made a bathing pool for Yunshang junior sister, bah, shameless, just raised a handy shovel and wanted to beat her.

Gao Bufan seemed to be able to pinch and count. He had expected the reaction of the two nuns long ago. After speaking, he jumped several feet away, and then got on the horse's back. He frowned and said: "Lime water It can sterilize and sterilize, if you don’t want to die, you should quickly soak in the pool, by the way, the two masters are very tempered, they must be on fire, drinking some lime water can reduce the fire.”

Juehui and Jueyuan were even more furious when they heard the words, they carried the shovel and rushed to catch up, but Gao Bufan had already run away, the two nuns almost cursed in anger.

Bai Yunshang had already recovered at this time, and quickly stopped Jue Yuan and Jue Hui who were going to chase and kill them.Juehui said in a deep voice with anger on her face: "Junior Sister Yunshang, this child's behavior is absurd and frivolous, we can't get along with each other, let's leave."

Jue Yuan also quickly nodded in agreement, she really couldn't understand why Junior Sister Yunshang looked at Gao Bufan differently.

Bai Yunshang shook her head lightly: "Senior sisters, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. This son's eyes are pure and clear, and he has no frivolous heart. It is probably out of good intentions to let us take a bath in the pool. We don't understand the reason , will feel that his behavior is absurd and frivolous.”

Jue Yuan and Jue Hui looked at each other, and the latter said in surprise, "Junior Sister Yunshang also believes that soaking in this lime water can drive away the plague ghost, right?"

"If not, why did Gao Changqing go to such trouble?" Bai Yunshang asked, pointing to the thick smoke billowing in the distance.

Jue Yuan and Jue Hui fell silent immediately. It has been a full day and night since they saw the thick smoke rising yesterday, and they don't know how much firewood they burned. It can be seen that Gao Bufan has spent a lot of effort to get these so-called " Quicklime", this kid is not an idiot, nor does he look like one, if quicklime is really useless, why bother?
Bai Yunshang said softly: "It's better to believe that there is something than that there is nothing. The quicklime that Gao Changqing took a lot of time and effort to burn was used for us. Anyway, it is out of good intentions. It is my advice to persuade people to buy this rare book. According to the tenet of the Buddha, as disciples of Buddhism, how can we take other people's good intentions as malice?"

Juehui and Jueyuan clapped their palms together in shame and recited the Buddha's name. They were sincerely convinced: "Junior Sister Yunshang's wisdom root is far above ours. Senior sister has been taught, but... Junior Sister Yunshang really wants it?"

Jueyuan and Juehui glanced at the milky white pool water, and then at the empty valley, apparently very repulsed by open-air bathing.

"Just open the tent!" Bai Yunshang smiled.

Jueyuan and Juehui's eyes lit up, and they quickly took out the tent and dismantled it, and covered the pool with tarpaulins. It seems that they traveled around the rivers and lakes to preach and teach Buddha, and the daily necessities they brought were quite complete.
