Chapter 596: Compassion is young, young Xuanzang
Time flies, and sixteen years have passed in a blink of an eye.
In Jiangzhou, Chen Guangrui served as the state lord for more than ten years, the whole Jiangzhou was peaceful, the people lived in peace, and the people praised the virtuous name of the state lord, and even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty also had many awards, Chen Guangrui was named a marquis, and his wife and mother were all given a decree, and his descendants were shaded.
It was late spring, it was the time of the opening of the market, Jiangzhou Street was bustling, shoulder to shoulder, street food vendor stalls lined up into a long line, shops and pavilions lined up one after another, how a prosperous.
In the midst of the crowd, a well-dressed young couple chatted and laughed, and everywhere they passed, the people around them deliberately moved out of the way, and none of them approached.
For those who do, however, they feel like they're walking in a straight line, as if they don't even see the young couple.
"Brother Hua, I can't imagine that this Tang Dynasty is so prosperous, and Jiangzhou is even more prosperous!" A beautiful young woman in a white Luo skirt said with a smile.
Nodding slightly, the purple-veined and white-robed young man on the side also smiled and said, "This is thanks to a wise state lord here!" It seems that our daughter saved Chen Guangrui, and she didn't save her wrong! ”
This couple is not Chen Hua and Hu Ling'er who came to play in the wilderness!
"Brother Hua, Chen Guangrui is not dead, so isn't his son unfortunate to be a monk? I don't know what happened now! Hu Linger, whose beautiful eyes flashed slightly, couldn't help but smile curiously.
Chen Hua, who shook his head and smiled, said slowly: "The road is different, and it is difficult to change the fate after all. He is the reincarnation of a disciple of Rulai, and he has a deep relationship with Buddha, and he is still destined to enter the Western sect after all. Buddhism spread eastward. It's hard to change. ”
Hu Ling'er nodded thoughtfully and smiled when she heard this: "I want to see how he entered the Buddha Gate." ”
As the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion in front of them. Immediately, many people surrounded him.
"Hehe, this is a lively gossip mind, it's really indispensable everywhere!" Chen Hua couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
On the side, Hu Ling'er also smiled with beautiful eyes: "Even the immortals, gods, Buddhas, and saints are inevitably vulgar!" Brother Hua, let's go have fun too! ”
Chen Hua and Hu Ling'er, who nodded and smiled, walked forward together. Everywhere the two of them passed, the space changed slightly, and soon it was like a gust of wind through the crowd to the front.
"Hey! I said that you are a young man, who fishes for a living, and does not sell these fish. What do you live by? If you don't buy fish, don't delay my business here," said a fish stall in front of him. As he spoke, a big man who bought fish fished out a big fish from a big wooden barrel on the side, put it on the table in front of him, and raised his hand to pick up the big fish that was still jumping around.
Without waiting for the knife in his hand to fall, a handsome young man in brocade in front of the stall was busy reaching out to protect the fish with both hands and said, "Uncle." Please, open the net. Don't kill anymore. The Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter. This fish is also a fresh life, how can the uncle bear it"
"Childe! I beg you! Have mercy on me, let me go! You saved this fish today, so who saved the belly of my family? The big fish seller couldn't help but helplessly bow his hand to the young man in brocade and said, "Son! Please don't embarrass the villain! Otherwise, the villain will kneel for you! Have mercy on me! ”
As he spoke, the big fish seller really walked out of the stall and knelt down to the young man in brocade.
The young man in brocade who was a little flustered when he saw this. I couldn't help but be at a loss: "Oops! Uncle, don't do this! I'm just I'm just"
Look at this scene. The crowd of onlookers around couldn't help but laugh a lot.
"What a strange thing!" Chen Hua couldn't help but laugh.
On the side, Hu Linger also shook her head slightly with a dumb smile.
At this moment, a crisp and pleasant voice suddenly sounded: "Hey, I said this stupid little brother!" You have to be a good person, and you can't let others not live, right? People sell fish to make a living, and if they cut off their livelihood, they have no intention of killing their parents! ”
"Why did the girl say that? It is a sin to kill, and I advise him not to kill, but to save him. When the brocade-clothed young man heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at a red-clothed girl who walked over with a smile, and it was the girl who spoke just now.
The girl in red couldn't help laughing: "Really? Boy, do you know how many fishermen and hunters there are in this world, can you manage it? According to what you said, then all of us should stop eating fish and meat. Since the time of the Three Emperors, hunting and fishing have arisen. The Emperor Fuxi invented the fishing net, and the Yellow Emperor invented the bow and arrow, if hunting and fishing is a sin as you said, then they have not become the root of all evil? ”
"This" The young man in brocade was not stunned when he heard this, and looked at the girl in red speechless.
The onlookers around couldn't help but nod their heads and laughed and talked one by one.
"Oops! Girl Mingjian! It's really a famous saying, and it's a good name for my generation! The big fish seller suddenly got up in surprise and bowed to the girl in red.
Glancing at the big fish seller, the girl in red casually threw him a dragon's eye pearl and said, "This bead, I think it's enough to buy all your fish, right?" ”
"Naturally! Nature! Thank you, girl! The big fish seller who took over the surprise couldn't help but hurriedly said to the girl in red: "These fish, now all belong to the girl, little farewell!" ”
"Wait!" The girl in red snorted softly, and suddenly made the big fish seller laugh and arch her hand to the girl in red: "I don't know what else the girl has to say?" ”
The red-clothed girl with a faint smile pointed to the live fish on the stall, and said, "You can take all these fish and release them, which can be regarded as helping you accumulate some yin virtue for yourself." ”
"This?" The stunned fish seller smiled and said, "Okay! Good! The little ones all listen to the girls. ”
After the big man who sold fish hurriedly packed up his things and left, and the surrounding onlookers also discussed and dispersed, the young man in brocade couldn't help but say to the girl in red: "Girl! How offended! I didn't expect the girl to have such a kind heart. ”
"What? Am I like a vicious woman with a femme fatale? "The girl in red didn't have a good air.
"Huh? Of course not! The brocade-clothed young man, who was stunned when he heard this, suddenly smiled and said.
And at this time. In the footsteps, a group of soldiers dared to come quickly, and under the leadership of the leader of the generals, they all knelt down on one knee and saluted the brocade-clothed young man: "Childe! ”
"Yo! Looks like you're not too young! The girl in red raised her eyebrows and smiled when she saw this. I couldn't help but say: "By the way, I'm sorry for you, let your people chase the big man who sells fish." ”
When the young man in brocade heard this, he immediately wondered: "What are you chasing him for?" Help him release those fish? ”
"Nope! Go collect his corpse and let your people release those fish for him! The girl in red smiled lightly.
"What?" The young man in brocade suddenly changed his face and said, "What does the girl mean by this?" ”
The girl in red couldn't help but laugh: "You're really stupid!" That guy, in public, accepted a pearl as big as me, do you think he still has the life to go back safely? The so-called reactive power is not punished. He's so greedy! Therefore, this time he will suffer a catastrophe and die in Huangquan! ”
"Why is the girl so cruel? Wisely, isn't this killing him? The brocade-clothed boy said with some annoyance.
When the girl in red heard this, she immediately glared and said, "You said that I killed someone?" Stinky boy! Didn't you say it before. It is a sinful thing to kill. That guy has killed too much, and he is already full of sins. Cause and effect cycle, the registration is not happy, it is time for him to go to the Lord of Yama to report. What does it have to do with me? Are you merciful? That's great! Competent. You go to Lord Hades and save him! Go and intercede for him! ”
"I'm a mortal, how can I see the king of Hades?" The brocade-clothed boy couldn't help but say.
"Sure enough, it's a fool! Isn't it easy to meet Hades? Ask your men to take a knife, wipe their necks, and see Hades in a few moments. If you want to die as soon as possible, otherwise, the fish seller has already been judged by the king of Hades and has gone to the beast road! After saying that, the girl in red snorted and turned around and left.
The young man in brocade who was stunned by the girl in red. Instead, he turned around abruptly and pulled out a waist knife from the waist of the general man behind him.
"Childe!" Seeing this, the general's face changed, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand and snatched the knife down, saying, "Son, what are you doing?" ”
A brocade-clothed young man who shook his head and looked gloomy. couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It's me!" I killed the big man who sold fish! If I hadn't argued with him today, the girl in red wouldn't have done that, and he wouldn't have suffered this misfortune. ”
"How can Childe say that? Life and death have their own destiny, how can Gongzi predict it? The general said busily.
Glancing at the general, the young man in brocade who shook his head slightly and didn't say anything turned around and left.
"Childe! Come on! The general who shouted hurriedly followed with a team of soldiers behind him.
Standing on the street, watching everything happen, Hu Ling'er couldn't help frowning slightly and said to Chen Hua: "Brother Hua, why don't we show up to see Mochizuki?" ”
"Lingling, what do you think of that girl's previous words?" Chen Hua asked with a light smile.
Hu Ling'er was stunned when she heard this, and then looked at Chen Hua and said, "Brother Hua, what do you want to say?" ”
Chen Hua shook his head lightly and said, "Mochizuki has been cultivating for a long time, and she has also experienced a lot in the wilderness, and many things are clearly understood. But is that enough? Are many of her ideas and practices really right? ”
"Brother Hua, do you mean to say" Hu Ling'er's expression moved slightly, and he understood a little.
Chen Hua, who nodded lightly, said, "That's right! People who are too smart tend to make stupid mistakes! I'm just worried that girl is too smart to see where her flaws are. And for a cultivator, the defect of the Dao heart is a very serious thing, and it is an opportunity for the inner demons to take advantage of. ”
"What then? Brother Hua, should we mention Mochizuki? Hu Linger said with some worry.
Chen Hua shook his head and said, "No need! Even if we did, it was difficult for her to face up to her flaws for a while. When she figured it out for herself, she would naturally understand. Without making mistakes, she won't understand what's right. And there are no absolutes in this world. The way is self-destructed, and the way is self-realization. No one walks the same way, and no one understands the same way. ”
"Hmmm! Brother Hua said the same," Hu Ling'er, who nodded slightly, turned to say: "Then we are now"
Chen Hua, who smiled slightly, said, "Of course, I went to see our baby daughter!" ”
The mansion of the governor of Jiangzhou, in the elegant courtyard of the Chen family's mansion. In the pavilion on the water, Chen Xi, who was dressed in a purple Luo skirt, and Yang Chan, who was dressed in white, were sitting opposite each other, sipping fragrant tea. Feel free to talk about it.
"Huh?" Chen Xi, whose expression moved slightly, couldn't help but stand up with a look of surprise on his face.
"Uncle Junior, what's wrong?" Seeing this, Yang Chan couldn't help but get up and asked with a curious smile.
Chen Xi smiled with joy on his face: "It's my father and mother who are here!" ”
"Master?" Yang Chan was slightly startled.
Chen Xi smiled and nodded, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Yang Chan out of the pavilion.
Not long after, when the second daughter came to the gate of the state lord's mansion, she saw Chen Hua and Hu Ling'er standing outside the mansion talking and laughing softly with each other.
"Father! Mother! Chen Xi shouted in surprise. He hurried to meet him.
"Yang Chan visits the ancestor! Grandmother! Yang Chan was also busy stepping forward and saluting the two respectfully.
Seeing Hu Ling'er pulling Chen Xi aside to greet and laugh, Chen Hua couldn't help but smile and said, "Xi'er, you are so leisurely here!" How. Don't invite your father and mother to come in and sit? ”
"Father!" Chen Xi, who looked at the aging helplessly, smiled and said, "Mother! Father, go, come with me! ”
As he spoke, Chen Xi led Chen Hua and Hu Ling'er towards the mansion with a smile. And Yang Chan. It is respectful and then follows.
Not much. The four of them came to Chen Xi's residence, in an elegant attic in the courtyard.
After letting Chen Hua and Hu Ling'er sit down and ordering Tong'er to serve tea, Chen Xi and Yang Chan sat down on the seats on both sides below under Chen Hua's casual gesture with a light smile.
"Father, Mother, why are you here?" Chen Xi couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Why, can't we come and see our daughter?" Chen Hua smiled and said, "It's you, Xi'er, but can you stay in one place for so long so calmly." Or in the mundane. ”
Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Father, you are a saint. Doesn't it also come to this mortal world? ”
"Xi'er, your father and I heard that you accepted a disciple, who is the son of Chen Guangrui, the governor of Jiangzhou, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Hu Linger asked with a smile.
When Chen Xi heard this, he was a little helpless and said, "My daughter has accepted such a disciple!" However, he was not very enthusiastic about the path of cultivation. On the contrary, he devoted himself to Buddhism and did not like Taoism very much. Therefore, the name of this master and apprentice is so much that some of them are in name only, and the child is ashamed! ”
"How can it be said that it is in name only? As a teacher, you are not only teaching the way of cultivation, but also the way of being a person and cultivating the mind! Chen Hua shook his head and smiled: "Then Chen Guangrui's son worships you as a teacher, has he ever worshipped you?" ”
Chen Xi immediately nodded and said, "Of course!" Xuanzang was taught by children since he was a child, and he officially performed the apprenticeship ceremony at the age of three. ”
"In that case! Join my Creation Sect, be a disciple for a day, and always be! Chen Hua couldn't help but laugh.
While a few people were talking, Tong'er suddenly came in and said respectfully: "Prince Xuanzang is here, ask to see the fairy!" ”
"Oh? Let him in! Chen Xi, who raised his eyebrows slightly, couldn't help but command.
The boy left in response, and after a while, with a burst of footsteps, a young man in brocade clothes walked in, who was the young man who was arguing with the big fish seller on the street today.
Seeing that there were people in the hall and still sitting in the main seat, the young man in brocade was stunned for a moment.
"Xuanzang! Come, I've seen your grandfather and grandmother! Chen Xi hurriedly introduced the brocade boy with a smile.
Hearing this, the brocade-clothed young man who reacted immediately hurriedly knelt down respectfully to Chen Hua and Hu Ling'er and saluted: "Apprentice grandson Chen Xuanzang to meet the ancestor!" Meet Grandmother! ”
"Good!" Chen Hua, who nodded with a smile, couldn't help but raise his hand slightly and said, "Xuanzang, get up!" ”
Chen Xuanzang, who responded respectfully and thanked him, stood aside, looking very polite.
"Father! Mother! The first time I saw your apprentices, didn't you even have a greeting gift? Chen Xi smiled deliberately.
Father and mother? Chen Xuanzang's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, and then he realized that the ancestor and grandmother sitting on it turned out to be the teacher's biological parents. As for why Chen Hua and Hu Ling'er are so young, Chen Xuanzang, who is a disciple of Chen Xi, naturally understands a little bit about cultivating immortals, and is not a novice who will be confused about this kind of question.
"Hmmm! What is said is that this gift is naturally indispensable! Chen Hua, who nodded and smiled, glanced at Hu Ling'er, and said to Chen Xuanzang with a slight groan: "Xuanzang! Come, come to the ancestor! ”
When Chen Xuanzang heard this, he hesitated slightly, and then respectfully stepped forward to salute under Chen Xi's smiling encouragement: "Master! ”
"Master and your master and grandmother are in a hurry, and there are no good things to send you!" Chen Hua, who said with a light smile, turned over and took out a bracelet made of white jade beads and handed it to Chen Xuanzang and said: "This is a string of chain beads, although it is not a precious treasure, but it can be calmed and condensed, and you will not be afraid of all evils and poisons." It's a welcome gift from your ancestors, take it! ”
Chen Xuanzang didn't have much surprise on his face when he heard this, but he took it with both hands very respectfully.
Looking at this kid's maturity and calm bearing that was not commensurate with his age, Chen Hua couldn't help but nod and smile with satisfaction, and said secretly in his heart: "It's worthy of Tang Sanzang!" This characterization alone is very good. ”
"Grandpa! That kid is a mortal, even if you give him a treasure, will he be able to use it? A pleasant and crisp voice sounded, and the next moment the red light flashed, and a beautiful girl dressed in red appeared in the hall.
Chen Xuanzang couldn't help but stare slightly at it: "It's you?" You"
"Rare and weird!" The girl in red who pouted slightly couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?" I didn't learn the Tao with my mother, but I liked to study the compassionate mind of Buddhism. If mercy could help the world, there would not be so many wicked people in the world. ”
Chen Xuanzang said: "I didn't expect it to be Senior Sister current!" Xuanzang's qualifications are dull and he has been taught by his teacher. Cultivating immortals is not my order. ”
"Don't you want to cultivate immortals? Do you want to become a monk? What a piece of wood! "The girl in red didn't have a good air.
Chen Xi, who frowned slightly, couldn't help but shout softly: "Mochizuki! I haven't seen your grandparents and Sister Yang Chan either, is this the rule that your mother taught you? ”
"Grandpa and grandma!" When Mochizuki heard this, he immediately pouted and helplessly stepped forward to salute Chen Hua and Hu Ling'er, and then saluted Yang Chan and said, "Senior sister! ”
Looking at Mochizuki's slightly unhappy appearance, Chen Hua deliberately said, "What? Was Mochizuki upset to see his grandfather? ”
"That's right! My grandfather didn't give me any gifts, so of course I was upset! Mochizuki said immediately.
When Chen Xi heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Mochizuki!" More and more presumptuous! Did you talk to your grandfather like that? ”
"That's it! Xi'er! You haven't been polite to your father before, I learned from you when I saw this girl," Hu Ling'er's words suddenly made Chen Xi's face blush and embarrassed.
Mochizuki suddenly came to Hu Ling'er's side with a smile, grabbed Hu Ling'er's arm and said, "Hehe-hee! I learned it from my mother. ”
Chen Xi, who gritted his teeth, couldn't help but stare at the moon with beautiful eyes. (To be continued......)
