The peach blossoms are flowing water, the moss is on the rocky shore, the spring breeze is dark and the flowers are fragrant, and the butterflies are fluttering to the dragonflies.

Under the peach tree, a few children are surrounding the tree, laughing and playing, cattle grazing on the side, and domestic dogs barking softly, which is quite lively. The children chased after each other, laughing, and I don't know who started it, but they said: "The soul returns, returns to the earth, and the flesh and bones are nurtured......"

"What is the joy of life, and what is the pain of death...... Joy and sorrow are dust......"

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man dressed in a Taoist robe passed by, and when he heard the sentences read by these children, he was suddenly stunned.

"Who taught you the words and phrases?"

Xu is young man's expression was too urgent, and the children were a little frightened, and they all hid behind the tree.

"White Brother ......"

On the hillside behind him, someone suddenly shouted.

The young man turned his head, looked up, and recognized the person on the slope, and for a while, there were tears in his eyes, and he shouted: "Brother Xu Xian." "I ran all the way up.

The reunion of old friends is naturally full of joy and sorrow, and it is embarrassing.

When he arrived in the house, the scholar in Tsing Yi, surnamed Xu, did not let the scholar do it, and personally cooked tea to entertain guests.

"I have been to the Taoist temple where you used to live in the past, but the Taoist priests all said that you went to Luofu to find immortal alchemy. I left a letter at the time, but I didn't think about it......"

"If the Yujing Dynasty will go, I am willing to follow the Luan He into the Qing Underworld. Xu is my sincerity has not arrived, I have always been looking for immortals, looking for pills is not successful, and the immortal road is unfounded, how unfortunate it is. ”

The young man in the Taoist robe known as Brother Bai let out a long sigh, and Fang said again: "By the way, you didn't go to Chang'an Guozijian to study, how did you go back to the countryside of Shudi?"

Xu Shusheng raised his head slightly, his eyes were misty, as if he was recalling, and sighed: "This is a long story, because my father and mother have passed away one after another over the years, and my sister is old, Mrs. Lao is worried about it, and she bothered to arrange a family affair for her sister...... Because the family affairs are not easy to come by, and I have never been good, I am used to doing whatever I want, Mrs. Tai was afraid that I would say the words of wagging the tail in front of people, so she sent me back to the countryside to study behind closed doors, and when my sister got married, I went to Chang'an to send my relatives. I wanted to return to my hometown, and the place of the country's eunuch was useless, so I gave it to my cousin. ”

To put it bluntly, both parents died, relatives Erer, Xu Shusheng had to sacrifice his future for his sister's marriage.

Hearing this, the young man in the Taoist robe also felt quite powerless, he was obsessed with seeking immortal alchemy, although he was yearning for feathering and ascending, but it was not caused by the cold and warmth of the world. After thinking for a moment, the young man in the Taoist robe raised his head and said slowly: "I see, I still thought that when I arrived in Beijing in the future, I would be detained in Beijing with Brother Xu Xian, and I would not be regarded as unaccompanied......

"Brother Bai wants to enter Beijing?" Xu Shusheng asked.

The young man surnamed Bai arched his hand, and said helplessly: "I haven't succeeded in alchemy, and my bag is empty, and it just so happens that Judge Zhang, the real person of Jingzhong Qingxuanguan, is a Taoist friend with his family teacher, and he met the Taoist priest who asked Judge Zhang to find alchemy for him...... The tutor asked me to go to Beijing. ”

Hearing the three words of Ning Guofu, the scholar next to him couldn't help but say, "What a coincidence." ”

"Huh?" the young man surnamed Bai had a look of doubt on his face.

Xu Shusheng had already poured a cup of tea in front of the table, and casually changed the topic: "Just now I saw that Brother Bai seemed to be talking to the village boy, but after a long time, I forgot the path?"

The young man surnamed Bai shook his head and said, "No, it's just that when I heard the sentence of the village boy that the soul returns, it will all return to dust, and I am curious, and I want to ask where it came from?"

"Naturally, it was all taught by my son-in-law. The scholar replied proudly.

The young man surnamed Bai was stunned for a moment, and then set his eyes on Xu Shusheng, his eyes full of admiration: "I didn't expect that Brother Xu Xian would also be involved in religious doctrines, he is really talented! ”

Xu Shusheng shook his head and said embarrassedly: "I don't know anything about doctrines, these words and phrases are boring in mountain dwellings, and I really don't dare to take credit." ”

"Whose words are you retelling?" asked the young man surnamed Bai hurriedly.

These are the words in this book. Xu Shufu calmly took out a book and handed it to the young man surnamed Bai, smiling slightly, his smile was quite strange: "When I read this book, I thought of you, Brother Bai. ”

The young man surnamed Bai didn't understand the meaning of these words, but just took the book and nodded, and then hurriedly opened it.

The book is opened, and as the plot unfolds, a wonderful and ethereal universe slowly takes shape in my mind.

The saint who withered and flourished in the world turned out to be just the embodiment of the Great Dao.

Those free-spirited, unrestrained land immortals, although they have long lived and sighted, are just ghouls.

The gods who make great vows to all beings, to have desires, and to respond to their desires, are also prisoners of vows.

Transcendent from heaven and earth, and trapped in heaven and earth.

Under the catastrophe, what about the saints, the immortals, and the gods?

The body is dead, but in an instant, it is like an ordinary man, and it is gone.

Who can transcend the avenue and glimpse the supreme mysteries?

"Mistaken, wrong......" The young man in the Taoist robe burst into tears: "If I had seen this book earlier, why would I go to refine the Laoshzi Jindan?"

On the broken stone road, a woman in her early twenties kowtowed desperately to the stone Buddha on the side of the road, her forehead was blurred with flesh and blood, and she still did not hesitate at all.

Xu Shusheng was sending the young man surnamed Bai down the mountain, and when he saw the woman behaving like this, he couldn't bear it, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, "Sincerity is spirituality, why bother." ”

But I heard the woman crying that she had been married far away, and because she missed her relatives, it was easy to say that her husband was able to come back to visit her relatives, but she did not expect that her children fell into the grave because they were playing with children, and fell into a coma for many days.

I woke up easily, but I was delirious, shouting that I was haunted by ghosts in my dreams, and when I woke up, I still saw ghosts haunting my surroundings.

Crying and sighing every day, tea and rice are not eaten, the medicine is ineffective, the Taoist monks and goddesses are also useless, and the gods and Buddhas are worshipped, and they are still the same.

The husband inevitably blamed her, because he had heard distant relatives mention that this Bodhisattva was very effective, and if he made a vow to kowtow nine hundred and ninety-nine more heads, he would definitely be able to fulfill his wishes.

When Xu Shusheng heard this, he was angry and funny, and pointed to the temple on the hillside and said: "I have lived in this temple for half a year, but I have never heard such a statement among the pilgrims, don't be a mistake by your distant relatives." ”

When the woman heard this, her face was completely bloodless, and she faintly guessed in her heart that it was her distant relatives who had coaxed her, and her body shook, and she could no longer support it, and sat down on the ground, tears flowing silently.

When Xu Shusheng saw it, he immediately panicked, he was a scholar, he was silent, and he was naturally unable to see these foolish women's behaviors, but most of the people who had never thought that they could do these acts were already on the verge of despair.

The last trace of fantasy is punctured, and the collapse of love is inevitable.

Seeing that Xu Shusheng persuaded for a long time, the woman was still in tears, and the young man in the Taoist robe said: "Since you are entangled by ghosts, have you ever worshiped Houtu?"

When Xu Shusheng heard this, he had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Hou Tu Niang Niang is incarnated into the Six Realms and is in charge of the Netherworld, if you go to worship her, it will definitely be effective." ”

A spark of hope lit up in the woman's eyes: "Seriously. ”

"Scholars don't speak, I'll teach you another paragraph, you remember to worship Niangniang when you read a thought, when you worship Niangniang, you don't need incense and candles to sacrifice fruits, it's best to use five-color soil ......"

Xu Shusheng said so, he was serious on his face, but he said in his heart that he didn't say anything, but relayed the words in the book, and the truth or falsehood had nothing to do with him.

The spring flowers are very lively, and the rain is falling little by little, swaying with the wind, intermittently.

Jia Cong sat in front of the window, looking at the rain outside the window, sighing.

If you are by the pond, enjoy the rain and flowers, drink tea and read books, how comfortable is it?

It's a pity that he can't fulfill such a small wish now.

Because the Grand View Garden has not yet been built, the pond in Rongguo's mansion has already been filled in to repair the house for Jia Yu's concubine.

What about going out of the house?

After donating the official to Zhao Guoji, it was not easy for Jia Cong to even leave the house.

Jia Huan went out of the house to find Zhao Guoji, and it can be said that he went to deliver something for Aunt Zhao, he has nothing to do with Zhao Guoji, and it is not easy to find a reason.

I don't know, but this counts as lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot.

was annoyed and depressed, Jia Cong suddenly saw the girl come over and said, "The master heard that Uncle Rui is sick, let the second master Lian and his brother go over to take a look." ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he was in tune with his mind, and hurriedly changed his clothes to go out, and went to Jia Dai Confucianism with Jia Lian.

In the Dejia Dai Confucianism, the old servant was introduced into the inner room, and Jia Cong and Jia Lian had not yet met.

I saw Jia Dairu's wife staring coldly at Jia Dairu sitting on the chair.

And Jia Dairu also stared at his wife, and the two of them didn't speak, just looked at each other, Jia Lian and Jia Cong suddenly felt inexplicable, and they were a little uncomfortable.

"Old lady and old lady, you are ......"

Jia Lian didn't hold back and asked.

"Zi is silent, strange and confused. It's just that you are in a hurry to go to the doctor, and it's not like you to mess around......" Jia Dairu persuaded his wife bitterly: "Ming'er, I'll go to Daoist Zhang, let him come and take a look, it's always as you wish." ”

Jia Dairu's wife suddenly became angry: "Why is the queen of the earth messing around? You are still a scholar, and you don't even know about the emperor and the queen of heaven." What kind of book are you reading?".
