The two rode horses, slowly along the north shore of the West Lake towards the white causeway, talking and laughing, and soon arrived at the broken bridge.

Although Zhang Zongyi is sleek and lustful, he is the son of an official eunuch after all, and he is well-informed, and he is even more familiar with all kinds of stories on the edge of the West Lake. The young man in green has lived in the mountains for a long time, and for the first time he has come to the prosperous world, everything is fresh, listening to him pointing and pointing and telling the stories of various dynasties, he is very interesting, and the idea of wanting to kill him has gradually faded.

While talking and laughing, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the clear sky, and then the wind blew fiercely, the sparkling light waved, and the willows swayed. Layers of dark clouds quickly surged up on the lake in the south, blocking half of the blue sky.

Zhang Zongyi was secretly happy in his heart, and said: "Little official, 'spring children's faces, change when you say it'." It's about to rain a thunderstorm, and there is a house in our house not far ahead, so why don't you go with me to the humble house to rest and avoid the rain, and when the rain stops, then go to the old site of the dustless nunnery to find the old locust tree, how about it? ”

The young man in green frowned and said, "Shelter from the rain? What is there to avoid in the rain? You ......" almost blurted out: "You humans are even afraid of rain, how can you cultivate to become immortals?" Fortunately, his thoughts turned quickly, and he immediately changed his words and said: "Didn't you Lin'an people say that the rainy scenery of West Lake is better than the sunny day?" Today, how can we fail to disappoint the will of heaven? With a sharp swing of his whip, he galloped out.

Zhang Zongyi was stunned, so he had to drag back the bridle and gallop forward with him.

With his arrogant and arrogant temperament, if someone is so disobedient, he is afraid that he has already whipped his head, but in front of this beautiful young man who does not know the world, he seems to have changed a person, and he is just a smile. It's just that the two entourages are suffering, wiping their sweat and panting after them, and they have already greeted the eighteenth generation ancestor of the green-clothed young man in their hearts.

The thunder was rolling, the sky was getting gloomy, and the oncoming wind was already carrying raindrops the size of beans. The willows danced wildly by the lake, and the pedestrians screamed and ran, mixed with bursts of laughter. The carriages of those dignitaries had also turned around and returned one after another, heading towards the nearest Qiantang Gate.

Zhang Zongyi was shocked by the thunder, and he was unwilling to fly the fat goose to the sky, so he only galloped on his horse, hoping to lead the young man to the old site of the dustless nunnery as soon as possible, find a broken temple or cave to shelter from the rain, and find an opportunity to make love with him.

The two of them had just rushed to the white causeway on horseback, when they suddenly heard someone shouting on the broken bridge: "Xiaoqing! ”

The voice was soft and pleasant, but the young man in green sounded like a thunderbolt, surprised and delighted, and shouted loudly: "Sister! ”

As soon as the words fell, lightning flew, and a series of thunders suddenly sounded in the air, and the white horse that Zhang Zongyi rode was frightened and neighed, and kicked his hooves violently, knocking him to the ground.

Zhang Zongyi hit his head in the grass, Venus danced wildly in front of him, and then his vest was trampled by the horse's hooves, screaming in pain, and almost fainted. By the time the two attendants picked him up, his face was covered with blood, black mud, two broken ribs, and tears of pain even when he took a breath.

But I saw lightning flying, illuminating the snow all around. The young man in green jumped off his horse, rushed onto the broken bridge as if flying, hugged a man in white tightly, and shouted: "Sister! Sister! "The rain hit his face like a jade chopstick, screaming and laughing.

Zhang Zongyi fixed his eyes, his brain "buzzed", his mouth opened wide, his eyes widened, and he couldn't even feel the heart-rending pain, and after a long time, a thought flashed in his heart: "There is such a stunning color in the world!" ”

When he was a child, he was fortunate to see the concubines in the forbidden palace of the official family, and when he grew up, he also traveled to Anwasheri and famous prostitutes, but whether it was those official eunuchs and noblewomen who were clear and jade, or those women who covered the crowd, all of them together could not match a single hair of the white-clothed man in front of him. Even the green-clothed young man who made him fascinated, standing side by side, was like a pearl covered in dust, and his brilliance was slightly reduced.

The thunder roared, the torrential rain poured in, and in an instant, everyone's whole body was drenched.

The young man in green didn't care, wiped the rain on his face, and said with a smile: "Sister, it's really you!" How did you get here? ”

"Sister?" Zhang Zongyi's heart was shocked, and he looked at the man in white, although he was wearing a folding scarf and a white shirt, dressed like a beautiful son, but he was drenched by the rain, and his chest was slightly exquisite, so there was no doubt that he was a woman. The surprise was even worse, and he secretly thought: "Wonderful, wonderful, I wanted to bend the bow and shoot the phoenix, but who knew that I brought a phoenix!" is so stunning, not to mention breaking two bones, even if the hands and feet are all broken, it is worth it! ”

The woman in white seemed to feel his greedy and burning gaze, frowned slightly, glanced at him coldly, took the hand of the young man in green, and said, "Xiaoqing, let's go back." ”

Zhang Zongyi said in his heart: "It turns out that your name is Xiaoqing. He coughed, straightened his turban, and said in a loud voice: "Two sons, the thunderstorm is like a pour, empty and helpless, instead of risking back to the city, it is better to turn back to the cold house to avoid it." Our house has hidden several jars of 20-year-old wine, and it happens to be shared with the two Jiake, what does it mean? ”

Xiao Qing saw him standing at the head of the bridge like a chicken in soup, covered in mud and blood, but he was still standing tall, pretending to be a malicious invitation, he couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said: "I'm not going, keep your good wine and drink it slowly." ”

At this time, he was in a good mood, and most of his murderous intentions were gone, so he turned his head and ignored it at the moment, grabbed the hand of the woman in white and walked side by side, and said with a smile: "Sister, you haven't told me how to get out of the Nine Old Caves?" Who helped you heal the wounds on your body? ”

The woman in white shook her head and said, "The catastrophe we caused this time not only affected the Ge Immortals, but even the old monk also suffered. They finally sealed the demon again, but both of them were injured, and the old monk Ren Du's two veins had been broken, and they were afraid that they would not survive. Immortal Ge gave me a pill and told me to leave Shushan as soon as possible to avoid the disaster of innocence and ruin my thousand-year-old cultivation. I think you must have come to Lin'an to save me, so I found here. ”

Xiaoqing was stunned, she couldn't imagine that Ge Lao Dao was so benevolent, her ears and cheeks were burning, she was guilty and remorseful, but she still refused to give in, and argued forcefully: "How can this matter be blamed on us?" Ge Laodao knew that the demon was the target of the Three Realms, but he just put him at the bottom of the alchemy furnace before he got into trouble. If he knew each other better and sent us the 'Yuanying Golden Pill' earlier, how could he invite this catastrophe? ”

The woman in white was stunned and said angrily: "Why are you still saying such things until now? You quickly follow me back to Emei and kowtow to Ge Xianren to admit your mistakes. ”

"Good sister, just spare me." Xiaoqing shook her wrist and begged softly, "Ge Laodao treats you partially, but he doesn't have such a good face for me." Besides, since he has let you leave Shushan, won't you live up to his kindness when you go back? It's better for us to enjoy the mountains and rivers in the West Lake first, wait for the limelight, and then go back to make amends to him. ”

At this time, the thunder roared, the wind and rain were mixed, Zhang Zongyi couldn't hear what the two of them were talking about, only to see Xiaoqing sometimes pitiful, sometimes like a spring flower, and said something to the woman in white, the woman in white couldn't resist her soft grinding and hard bubbles, her face was a little pale, and finally she couldn't help laughing.

He watched from the sidelines, and was fascinated, until the second daughter held hands and was about to leave, then he suddenly woke up and shouted, "Two stay!" ”

The two attendants understood and shouted: "My son-in-law invites the two of you to the house for a few days, let's go!" At this time, the West Lake was rainy and foggy, there were no pedestrians, and there was no fear, so they strode forward at the moment, and they wanted to pick them up by the waist and forcibly take them away.

Xiaoqing was furious, his murderous intent suddenly rose, and he just wanted to draw his sword, when he suddenly heard two "bang, bang" sounds, and a sprig of wood pulp flew in the air, hitting the chest of the two attendants heavily, and immediately slapped them into the air and flew down, screaming and rolling out six or seven feet away.

Then a young man clapped his hands and laughed under the broken bridge: "The broken string is out of the column and the arrow, and the lightning is turned over the gap bead." Go back to the boat and return to each other, and say a lot about the master. ”

These four lines of poetry are from Su Dongpo's "Hundred Steps Hong", which is used here, and naturally there is no Zen flavor in the original poem, only cynical ridicule remains.

Although Zhang Zongyi is a wine bag and rice bag, he has also read poetry books for more than ten years, and he was shocked and ashamed when he heard the words, so he was isolated at this time, so he had to shout: "Let's go!" ”

The two attendants stumbled to their feet, helped him to his horse, and fled.

Xiaoqing sneered and said, "Which nasty ghost is meddling?" ”

I saw lightning flying, and in the thousands of white rain lines, a small boat rowed out leisurely, wearing a hat and a robe, nine feet tall, and his eyes were like copper bells.

Inside the canopy sat a thin and delicate young man, quite familiar, happily crossing Erlang's legs and beating the beat.

"Is that you?" Xiaoqing was stunned, and immediately recognized that this person was the young Taoist priest in the post house before, and this prince was naturally the nine-foot-tall bull nose who was at the same table with him.

The boy laughed, "Yes, it's me, the nasty ghost." Under the surname Xu, a single name is a 'Xuan' word, and he likes to meddle in his life, if he disturbs the two Yaxing who taught Lin'an a young evil, it is really sorry. ”

He got up and opened an oil-paper umbrella, walked outside the cabin, and said with a smile: "The wine in the post house was too bad just now, I specially warmed a pot of good wine in the boat, and prepared to sing and drink while watching the thunderstorm." If the two of them don't dislike it, drink a glass of hot wine together, drive away the cold, and talk about making amends. ”

Although Xiaoqing is not familiar with world affairs, he is smart and understands that he must be worried that he will be deceived by Zhang Zongyi, so he followed him by boat, and saw that Zhang's entourage wanted to be forcibly captured, so he immediately sent the tower-like man to stop him. So he smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

The woman in white pulled Xiaoqing's sleeve and said lightly, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Qing just wanted to turn around, and when he caught a glimpse of the red lantern swaying on the boat, the words "Renjitang" were impressively printed, and his heart shook suddenly, remembering what Zhang Zongyi said before, "I know where the place you said is!" The old locust tree has been cut down in three years, and the nunnery next to it has now become the garden of the Xu family of Renjitang! ”

Could it be that things in the world are so coincidental that the master and servant in front of Qiao turned into a Taoist priest actually came from Renjitang? No wonder this young man surnamed Xu showed such a surprised and strange expression when he heard that he was going to the nunnery to make a vow!

Her mind turned sharply, she smiled, and said: "It's okay, anyway, the thunderstorm is so big, there is nowhere to avoid it, and you can't see any scenery, so it's better to drink a few sips of hot wine to warm up your body." He took the woman in white and jumped into the boat.
