Chapter 82: Merit
Many eyes looked at him, Xu Chengfu knew what it was like. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The higher the appetite, the more curious the audience becomes. The word "Li Xianyuan" alone is enough to arouse their interest. The first step is done.
A diner shouted: "Li Gongzi's poems are famous far and wide, but it is not rumored that he also wrote books." You're not trying to help us. ”
Another person: "I know about this matter, the Huashuge Pavilion in the west of the city is selling Lord Li's books, which seems to be called this Journey to the West." ”
"Journey to the West? I am tired of listening to Tang monks and apprentices, and it is so difficult to go back and forth, and there is something to talk about. Is this really written by Li Gongzi? Or is it a poem written by Li Gongzi to Tang Seng and others. ”
A person in front of the stage laughed and shouted: "Don't sell the lawsuit." Hurry up. None of us went to private school, and we didn't know much about poetry and songs. But since it's Lord Li's, why don't we listen to it, right?"
Xu Chengfu stroked his goatee: "No, no, no." Li Gongzi's book is neither a poem nor a song. Listen to me slowly. ”
Smack-
"In other words, the world is divided into four continents. Dongsheng Shenzhou, West Niuhe Zhou, South Ganbu Zhou, North Julu Zhou. There is a country in this Dongsheng Shenzhou that is proud to come to the country. Aolai country has a flower and fruit mountain, there is a fairy stone on the top of the mountain, this fairy stone has existed since the opening of the world, and it is innocently showy, and the sun is fine and the moon is blooming. Inside there is a fairy fetus......"
The storyteller on the stage was depressed, and the diners in the audience were fascinated. Even outside the door and window, there were many people listening, and even Xiao Er leaned on the counter, listening in a daze. But they were all listening to the book, and no one called him to do things.
Li Xianyuan once tried to overestimate Journey to the West, after all, it was a classic in the previous life, and no matter how weak it is put here, it can't be weak. But he still underestimated the influence of the book Journey to the West.
Everywhere there are scholars and female ghosts, and I wish to be happy with you. Chivalrous travels thousands of miles, fighting swords and rivers and lakes in the first-class novels of Zhiwei Zhiren, a mythological system novel is extremely eye-catching.
Otherwise, he would not have finished writing the book Journey to the West, and the vision appeared, as if he had become a Buddha on the ground.
Especially Journey to the West has long been heard, and it is not uncommon to tell stories and historical records, but how can it be so detailed, as if Li Xianyuan had experienced it himself.
After talking for an hour in a blink of an eye, Xu Chengfu took a sip of tea on the table and moistened his throat, and continued: "...... The Monkey King was mentioned by the Bodhisattva as the Monkey King, which means Wukong! Chaos is not divided into heaven and earth, and no one can see it. Since Pangu broke Hongmeng, it has opened up from Ziqing to distinguish turbidity. Covering the masses of beings to look up to benevolence, inventing all things to be good. If you want to know the Yuan Gong of the Creation Society, you must watch the Legend of Journey to the West. If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next time-"
Smack-
There was a row of shocking trees, and everyone in the audience was excited.
"Decompose!"
There was silence for a long time, and suddenly there was a thunderous applause.
The hustle and bustle made the inn rumble, and even the outside could be heard clearly.
Xu Chengfu glanced at a layer of copper coins in the basin under the stage, as well as a few pieces of broken silver, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
The pot is abundant.
Xu Chengfu stepped down, and the hall coaxed Xu Chengfu to say another paragraph. He waved his hand again and again, saying that if he wanted to listen, he would come early tomorrow.
The inn sent him some side dishes, Xu Chengfu bought another fresh carp, hummed it all the way with both hands, and returned home in a very good mood.
When he came to the kitchen, seeing that his wife was busy, Xu Chengfu was a little proud and put the carp in his hand: "Take it and do it." ”
"Did you steal?" the wife was surprised. This fish is at least twenty wen old.
"Ridiculous, your husband and I are decent, how can we do things like stealing chickens and dogs. Xu Chengfu snorted and told his wife all the things that happened during the day.
The wife asked, "Is it Li Gongzi's book that helped you?"
Xu Chengfu nodded, and took out a large handful of copper coins from his arms, including a few pieces of snow-white broken silver: "You put these broken silvers away, and you are not allowed to take them out no matter what." ”
"Why?" the wife wondered. There are as many as five or six taels of broken silver, and copper coins look like a lot, but they are only 100 yuan. Qianwen is consistent, and it has always been only one or two silvers.
Xu Chengfu stroked his beard, and he was no longer as depressed and embarrassed as the day before yesterday: "Don't forget to dig the well, today you can rely on Li Gongzi so much, how can you be that ungrateful person." When Li Gongzi returns, I will send the money to Li Gongzi. He may not be uncommon, but it is always my heart. ”
Seeing that his wife kept counting the copper coins, Xu Chengfu scolded with a smile: "It's really useless." ”
Although he also counted and counted before a stick of incense.
The wife said angrily: "You, don't get complacent too early. Who knows what tomorrow will be like tomorrow and whether it will be able to make so much. ”
Xu Chengfu's eyes widened: "This book was written by Master Li, how can it be bad!"
"Okay, I'll visit him when I have time to buy something. When the wife saw that her husband was in a hurry, she echoed softly. "You go put it away, I'll cook. ”
Xu Chengfu nodded.
It seems that he has not been proud for a long time, after dinner, Xu Chengfu pulled his wife back to the room, the woman thought of something, her face was slightly red and followed in, and after a while, the candlelight went out.
Drizzle and rain outside the window.
Early the next morning, Xu Chengfu went out early. The woman went out of the room, tied up her long hair, and recalled that last night her face flushed, and spat secretly.
She suddenly remembered the woodcarving, the two Bodhisattva statues had been carved, and they had not yet had time to send them. So I tidied up my clothes, found a piece of cloth and put it on the palm-high statue, and went out to pick up another house.
The door was opened by a middle-aged man with a robe with a few patches. Hearing this, he hurriedly took it and thanked him, took twenty pieces and handed them over.
Before the change, the woman took it. It's just that now that her husband has made money, she excuses herself from the neighborhood and says goodbye and goes home.
"Son, who's coming?"
The middle-aged man watched the woman go home, and suddenly an old man's shout came from the courtyard behind him.
"It's Brother Xu's insider, and the statue of Master Li carved by her the day before yesterday was sent. ”
The voice in the courtyard suddenly became urgent: "Oh, bring it to me and show it." ”
The middle-aged man answered, closed the door and returned to the courtyard.
The yard is not big, there is an old jujube tree in the southeast corner, and a pair of tables and chairs are placed under the tree. An old woman sat in a chair, trembling to get up.
The middle-aged man hurriedly picked up his mother and told her not to worry. Place the two woodcuts covered by the net cloth on the table. Remove the net cloth.
The two pieces of wood are the same, standing on the desk. A long robe fluttering, looking like a young man who is three or four years old, his lips are lightly pursed, his eyes are indifferent, and there is a cloud of Buddha light behind his head. Looking at his eyebrows, he was six or seven points similar to Li Xianyuan. The woman is really skillful,
The middle-aged man went back to the room and took two futons and an incense burner, put the incense burner in front of the statue, set up an incense burner, and knelt down with the old mother.
The old woman sincerely folded her hands: "Master Li, you saved the cheap life of the old man." In the next life, I wish to be a cow and a horse......"
"Mother and child pay their debts. You saved my mother, and you are my benefactor in Qingshan. In the next life, I wish to be a cow and a horse instead of my mother!" The middle-aged man had powerful words, his voice shook the courtyard, and he bowed his head and kowtowed deeply.
