Chapter 42 The Song of the Lantern Riddle
Xiuyun saw that Shuying was also here, and was about to go back.
Shuying smiled: "Fairy, please wait, here's a note for you to take a look at." Then he handed her a passage that had just been written by Yi Ge to her.
After reading it, she pursed her lips, knowing that it was Qi Ge who did it for the sake of Fang Cai, she smiled for a while, and sighed for a while.
Embarrassed, he raised his eyes to look at Shuying's clothes and said, "It's just a thing, it doesn't matter." When he had finished speaking, he took it back.
Shuying sent Xian'e to call Sister Jirui to watch together. Ji Rui also smiled: "It was mine that provoked him to write these words." As he spoke, he tore it to pieces and called Xian'e to make it burn.
Xiuyun said with a smile: "You shouldn't tear it up, wait for me to ask him, you come with me, persuade him, and make him change his mind and accept this heart." ”
The three of them said and came over to see Yige together.
Shuying said: "On that day, the sixth ancestor of the Southern Sect, Hui Neng, first sought a teacher to Shaozhou, and when he heard that the fifth ancestor was in Huangmei, he acted as a fire-headed monk. The five ancestors wanted to seek the heir of the Dharma, so that each monk came out of a side, and the god of the throne said: 'The body is a Bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror. Always wipe diligently, don't let there be dust'. Because he said to himself, "Bodhi is not a tree, and a mirror is not a platform." There was nothing in the first place, where was the dust? The Five Ancestors passed the mantle to him. ”
Who knew that Yi Ge had no words when he heard it, and said for a while: "All appearances are false, if you see all the phases that are not the same, then you will see them as they come." The two fairies also seemed thoughtful.
Shuying smiled: "It turns out that Qi Ge is also participating in Zen, since he has already had an epiphany, why write these down, for fear that others will not understand him." After that, he said to Jirui and Xiuyun: "It seems that you also care about your brother Cui." Bi Xiuyun's face turned crimson.
When Yi Ge saw that the two sisters were reconciled with her, she was unhappy because of herself. I deeply hated myself for not being able to understand my daughter's family's careful thoughts. He spoke softly to each of them.
After all, the three of them said to each other that it was because of their own bad feelings, which made each other unhappy and so on, and their faces became more affectionate. Yi Ge suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and gradually felt warmer, wanting to do something to compensate them for the two of them.
The next day, Yige came up with a clever trick - making lantern riddles for everyone to guess, and sent someone to inform the sisters early.
When everyone heard that they were busy coming out to the fairy robe, they saw that Yi Ge took a four-cornered flat-headed white gauze lamp, which was specially made for lantern riddles, and there was already one on it, and everyone was vying to see and guess.
"You guess first, don't say it, and then write the answer on a piece of paper first." ”
Xiuyun approached and saw that it was a seven-character quatrain, there was nothing new, and he couldn't praise it in his mouth, and he only said "It's hard to guess", deliberately thinking, in fact, he guessed it at first sight.
In addition, Jirui, Su Mu, Yaqu and the third sister Lingyu were also solved, and they each wrote secretly. The other sisters of the Xianyu Division and the four immortals brought up by the Infatuation Division from Huaxu Realm, Shuyu, Blooming Sakura, Suyi and Hairpin Flowers, all guessed together and wrote them on a piece of paper for revealing the answer.
Then each of them took an object, made a riddle, wrote it in block letters, hung it on the lamp, and reflected it in the Milky Way outside the door.
Yi Ge also prepared a small and delicate screen lamp early, set it up in the hall, and ordered his sisters to make it secretly, write it out and stick it on the screen.
Prepare fragrant tea, fine fruits and all kinds of playthings, for the congratulations of guessing.
All the immortals came close to hear that there were lantern riddles here, and they all came to have fun, and within half an hour, a table of people was full.
Yaqu suddenly had an idea and thought of someone, so he ordered Xian'e to go to Nan'an Concubine Palace to invite her. This person is the daughter of the Qiu family in Huaxu Realm. has been married into the Heavenly Palace for hundreds of years, and now she is a concubine. I don't like to be close to people, but I just go to Zen and chant alone.
Sure enough, that Xian'e came back for a while and said with a smile: "Concubine Nan'an said that she wanted to copy the Buddhist scriptures tonight, but she refused to come." "Yaqu had to stop.
Everyone laughed and ate some melons and fruits. Tell everything you see and hear in Su Ri's heart, and everyone will discuss it here, so it's not enjoyable.
After three rounds of wine, here the song said:
"As soon as the sun comes, the fragrance is broken,
The fragrance wafts far away at night,
Flying insects smell to pollinate,
The secrets are all in the petals,
Hit a plant. ”
Xiuyun knew that it was night primrose, so he deliberately guessed and punished a lot of things, and then Fang guessed.
Then also read a lantern riddle and guess the song. Chanted: "The body is round and hairless, not an orange or a peach, spend a few nights in the clouds, take off the green clothes and change the red robes, and hit a plant." ”
After speaking, Yi Ge also guessed that it was a persimmon.
At this time, Jirui got up and walked to the front of the screen, only to see that the first one was Yaqu, which read:
The young come to the old and the old come to the red,
Recruit naughty children in the beginning of summer,
Hand dancing bamboo pole please go to the ground,
After eating, both hands are red.
Hit a plant.
Jirui said, "Is this a mulberry?" Yaqu replied, "Yes." ”
Ji Rui looked at Lingyu again, and said: "Tao Ling is the most pitiful, the mountain path is carefully cultivated, and after Qunfang is cold, he will be alone in the east fence of the palace and hit a plant." ”
Ji Rui said: "Is it a noble chrysanthemum?" Lingyu smiled: "Yes." Looking down again, it was Su Mu's, and said:
"When the child at the foot of the stairs is on his back,
Qingming makeup is the most appropriate.
The hairspring is broken and weak,
Don't complain to the east wind.
Hit a plaything. ”
Su Yi said: "It's like a kite." ”
Yaqu said: "Guessed right. ”
Looking further down, it is a song, and there is only one sentence: The seven fairies fell in love with Dong Yong and played a verse.
Everyone couldn't guess which sentence it was for a while, and Hairpin Hua'er said: "The love story of the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong is well-known, but I don't know this poem." ”
Shuyu said: "Yes, the seven fairies who are fairies do not want a life in the sky, but they like the life of a couple like mandarin ducks in the world. ”
I only heard Shuying say: "I only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals." ”
Yi Ge said: "This poem comes from the Tang Dynasty poet Lu Zhaolin's "Chang'an Ancient Meaning", is it this sentence?"
"Why did the Qiu Immortal make this sentence a mystery, could it be that he has a sweetheart?" a Gong E next to him teased.
After that, everyone laughed, Shuying listened to everyone's jokes, and regretted that she had just said the answer, and Xiuyun should be allowed to say it. Shuying glanced at Xiuyun, only to see that she did not laugh with everyone, but silently looked at the teacup in front of her.
Shuying had an idea, and immediately made up a limerick poem and read:
"When the swan is gone, the bird does not return,
Nostalgia for the old days,
The clouds break through the moon and come into seven shadows,
The water flows meet again in several places,
Tomorrow the sunset people are in the moon,
Single nobles are commensurate. ”
Everyone was puzzled, and they couldn't guess. Yi Ge thought hard and didn't guess it. Only Xiuyun gradually understood the meaning, only to see that she quickly picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine to hide her shyness.
Shu Ying saw that she didn't mean to say the answer to the riddle, so she said to Yu Ge: "The mystery is, I can't live without you. ”
