Chapter 20 There are many sorrows in the past, but look at the present and continue the past

Cangqing looked at the god Ni Youtan flying beside him, and was stunned for a while, but only for a moment he left all kinds of Buddhism behind, and took out a large wine gourd from his waist that had only faded and lost paint, and drank a big sip, burped and swayed to perform the technique of miniature in the pocket of the Qianli Courtyard, more than a hundred miles of land, and arrived at Suzhou Mansion in only two breaths.

Suzhou and Hangzhou are also known as prosperous counties, Suzhou Prefecture is a metropolis in the southeast, and merchants are scattered, which is the place where merchants from various provinces of Beijing gather. Suzhou celebrity Tang Yin said in the poem "The Gate is the Matter": "The paradise of the world is Wuzhong, and there is a gate and a good man; There are 3,000 floors of green sleeves, and millions of gold are in the west and east. Jia He of Wuchang City has never been, and the dialects of Siyuan are always different; If the painter is asked to paint, the painter should be difficult to paint. ”

Xiao Cangqing is thin and small, he has never been to such a prosperous place, and he doesn't know where Shi Nanxi's Huashan disciples are. The children's family was curious, although they saved many monks in the mansion with Lian Liuzhi last time, but how could it be more prosperous than Suzhou Mansion, so they reached out and dripped a few drops of the wine in the wine gourd, and rubbed it with two small hands, turning it into five pearls of an inch size. Although the proportion is not large, it is bright and piercing people's eyes, and there is no flaw in it. Cangqing said in his heart: "Master often says that you can't oppress the good and the poor, but there are not many beggars and prodigal men in this Suzhou Mansion, so according to what Master said, sell them to a few generous and evil gentry." Moreover, the pearl brewed by the immortals in this gourd is much stronger than the thousand-year-old black pearl when eaten. So he made up his mind and went out into the city.

After walking a few steps, I saw a three-story restaurant standing in front of me. The exterior wall of the restaurant is painted with gold and splendor, and six giant trees support the three-storey building, all of which are waist-high ebony inlaid with gilded copper sheets, but the inside is painted with red paint, which is extremely luxurious. Xiao Cangqing leaned over and wanted to take a look inside, but the shopkeeper at the door greeted him early and said attentively: "This guest officer, please, our store is singing "Difficult to Spring Again" today." If you have Yaxing, you might as well listen to the previous paragraph and use it to relieve your boredom. ”

Cangqing was worried about how to sell the pearl in his hand for some silver, so he also replied with a smile: "Good song, good song, I just want to listen to it." But today I came out of the house in a hurry, I couldn't bring some cash, and just now I accidentally broke the bracelet, only these beads are left, you can see how much silver can be replaced."

The cousins of the Xianglou are quite cultivated, although they see Cangqing dressed in rags, but they do not reduce half of their past hospitality. However, although he was taught by the shopkeeper on weekdays, he inevitably looked down on this little doll in his heart, and just put up his sincere smiling face to deal with this little guest officer. Unexpectedly, the child revealed five projectile pearls from his hand, each of which was extraordinarily clear, and suddenly felt that a big customer had come, and he did not dare to arbitrarily determine the price, so he hurriedly welcomed Cangqing in, waited for him to sit down, and at the same time asked someone to invite the shopkeeper to come.

Cangqing sat down, supported his chin with two small hands, and was waiting to shout for the second child in the restaurant to order some food, when he suddenly heard a sound of Zhengzhengqin, and an old man hunched his body, and already sang loudly: "Wearing a six-baht coat, 100 million calamities for the great immortal" sang and picked up the erhu at hand, which was high, tactful and melodious. A girl about ten years old beside him also sang on the piano: "In the past, the wind was wide in the north, and the sky was cold and frosty. There is a lot of love in the sky, and the Gusu female wall has eight rhymes and warm snow. Xianhuan six baht clothes, Yangchun persuaded the snow to live. Everywhere always keep in mind the high name Bingyue Shuangqing, the eight wildernesses are one, for other family names, it is difficult to be pitiful and difficult to spring, and it is difficult to be pitiful and difficult to spring again. ”

The girl's voice was like the cry of a yellow warbler, and she was stunned on the spot when she heard it, and she couldn't help but feel ripples in her heart. At this moment, the seat was dressed in a plain gown, rolled up the two sleeves and wrists, a few strands of messy hair hung down, covered the handsome face a little, and shouted: "Good singing, come on, give them a pot of the best flower carving, and count it on the account of the little master." The five pearls he showed were worth a thousand taels of gold. ”

Before Cangqing could speak, the old man who sang had already bowed: "Thank you for your kindness, but my granddaughter is not suitable for drinking when she is young, can you have some seafood delicacies?" Cangqing was about to get angry after hearing this, and he didn't care about sending the artist to drink wine, but he was replaced by the long-shirted guest, and even this kindness and righteousness were directly recorded by the old man on that person, and the boss was unhappy in his heart, and said: "Which one wants to invite you to drink wine and eat meat?" Shopkeeper, quickly exchange the pearls for some silver coins at will, I still have to hurry, little master. ”

The girl who sang the song pursed her lips and smiled softly at her grandfather: "Second master, you see that this little brother is really careful. People were worried that he would be deceived when he was young, so he deliberately made sense like this, but he didn't appreciate it. ”

Cangqing snorted coldly and stopped talking, and the shopkeeper also rushed over at this time. It was originally a purple-clothed man in his forties, bowed slightly, and said calmly: "Guest officer, if these five pearls are placed elsewhere, they can probably be exchanged for four or five hundred taels of silver, but in Suzhou, such treasures can be seen a few times from time to time." How about four hundred taels of silver with you? ”

Cangqing was about to agree, but the long-robed guest put down his wine glass again and said, "Brother Chen, you have underestimated these five pearls. If you can trust me, you might as well take one pill to see the effect. ”

The shopkeeper was very angry, smiled very kindly, and said: "Pen and ink are sad, I naturally trust you." As he spoke, he waved his hand to signal the little guy next to him to stand back, and twisted a grain with his fingers and stuffed it into his mouth. The shop surnamed Chen has been weak since childhood, and often has to take ginseng and shou wu to replenish vitality, even with such abundant family resources, 30 years of careful nourishment, it is still difficult to recover. At this time, the pearl went down to the throat and entered the five internal organs along the trachea, and a stream of aura from the Xianjia Pill spread vigorously from the heart, filling the meridians. The roots of the disease that have accumulated for many years melt away, and one can't help it, and when he opens his mouth, he spits out a large puddle of black filth, and his body and mind are suddenly very comfortable. The people next to him were rushed by the filth, and they all covered their mouths and noses, and avoided for a long time. Only a young guy beside him didn't avoid the smell, so he bowed over and sat down with the shopkeeper aside, and cleaned it up himself.

The shopkeeper knew that it was not an extraordinary thing, but he didn't expect it to be condensed after soaking in wine with the sword fairy elixir, and it was only a rare treasure in the world, so he immediately bowed and said: "Thank you for your great grace, it is really as the pen and ink sorrow said, and the four hundred taels of silver are really tormenting the fairy treasure." Then he ordered his attendants to take out another five thousand taels of silver from the account room. This is rude, and just about to give another gift, Cangqing has already said, "Enough is enough", and hid a few steps back.

The long-shirted man who was called pen and ink sorrow got up and walked over, and said with a smile: "Chen Shi'an, this little doll is not rare silver, so give me a few to serve."

Cangqing didn't bother to pay attention, and turned his face away from noncommittal. Chen Shi'an didn't say anything, but just sent the envoy to bring the rich ingredients. After some greetings, they each sat down, and Cangqing had the heart to make some stumbling blocks for this strange long-shirted guest, and asked coldly: "Wen Yuan's third son is worried?" ”

The others were inexplicable, and the storyteller first asked, "What is the name of the third son of Wen Yuan?" ”。 Chen Shi'an knew that his friend had a reason to hide this name, so he didn't care, but still put the food and delicacies into the bowl of Cangqing and the girl who sang the song.

Bimo scolded with a smile: "Hun boy, who else dares to make Bimo worry in this world?" ”

Cangqing replied indignantly: "Are there two more, the eldest son of the white-headed peacock king, Xing... Before Cangqing finished speaking, he was interrupted by pen and ink sorrow, "The apprentice of Changyisuo is really hateful, okay, don't mess with you little devil again." ”

Everyone heard it in a fog, but neither of them had the heart to explain, and after eating and drinking, Cangqing left on his own. Bimo was sad when he saw Cangqing leaving, and opened his mouth to Chen Shi'an and said: "I thought of the little incense on your ancestors and wanted to give you the pill refining pill, but now someone has no intention of helping, so it's okay." In a little while, I will visit Jiangnan again, and I will see you then. After saying that, he also walked away.

Chen Shi'an only had time to say "yes", and the pen and ink were gone.

Suzhou Mansion is prosperous, and there are countless places for the eight directions to enjoy and play. Cangqing was carrying four hundred taels of silver, and his abdomen was bulging with a large piece, which made him look very uncomfortable. So after walking and playing for a while, he took out half of it and threw it on the ground, and suddenly felt much more relaxed. Unexpectedly, a voice immediately came from behind him: "It's really a young master!" ”。 Cangqing looked back and saw the pen and ink standing on the road, holding the two hundred taels of silver in both hands.

"Fellow Daoist, can Senior Master Ling Changyi be nearby? I have something important to look for him. ”

Cangqing heard that Master Changyisuo was mentioned, and suddenly became interested, "Brother Dao has something to teach my master?" His old man has often carried me away from the mountain on his back for the past year, could it be that he is here to find you? ”

Bimo smiled bitterly: "A muddy boy is a muddy boy." It's natural for my master to travel when he has something, why don't you carry it? Cangqing didn't love people to teach him a lesson, so he turned around and said: "Maybe Daoyou arrived in Suzhou earlier than me, do you know where Shi Nanxi of Huashan Sect is now?" ”

Bimo replied sadly: "Do you want to touch other people's moldy heads again?" The mana of the Huashan Fire Patriarch is not low. I heard that Shi Nanxi's family members are all in Suzhou, just on Dongshi Yima Street, the most magnificent house is. If he came to Suzhou Mansion, he must be going home to visit his relatives. ”

After hearing this, Cangqing said: "Where is he visiting relatives?" Last time, I met him in Qinling, Guanzhong, and used witchcraft to kidnap people's daughters. The Flame Ancestor only beat him ten times with the White Python Whip, and I still be despised on my own merits. This guy will never be able to change his bad fundamentals, and when he comes to his own land, he can't say that he will go to harm the people again."

The corners of Bimo's mouth were lightly raised, and he only said: "Since this is the case, I will lead the way for Daoyou." As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a strand of long hair on the back of his head, "Fellow Daoist, it's okay to wash your hair empty?" ”

Cangqing turned around angrily and pulled his long hair, "Hurry up and lead the way." Only one person was left who was sad and secretly said, "It's really him", and his face was full of indescribable melancholy.
