Chapter 1 The Pearl is Lost, and Xizi is Born

The wind floats gently, the laurel tree swayes, swaying out a place of fragrance, a place of fragrance, sand, lotus pond, the palace with phoenix wings, and a quiet and long rain corridor...... In the rain corridor, the stunning woman, Chang'e, with plain makeup and a lonely expression, was playing with her beloved pearl while looking at the long sky, the sky was deep, remote, and lonely as death. Like in the dead firmament, a meteor suddenly "swooped", flashed like lightning, so dazzling and so short, short as the joy beating in the eyes, the light that appeared in the heart, disappeared immediately before it was grasped. Another star fell, and which immortal family violated the rules of heaven and was punished to suffer in the world. "Alas" Chang'e couldn't help but sigh softly, that's okay, even if it's hard or bad, it's unfortunate...... It can also stir up a touch of wind, a wave, stronger than this eternal stagnant quiet night, sighing and meditating, can't help but a trace of trance, just like this trance, as soon as the hand is loosened, "flicker" A light fell sharply, it was the pearl, like a swimming fish walking a child slipping from the hand. Ah, Chang'e was startled, came back to her senses and flew to fish, but at this moment, the wind passed through the lotus, a whimper, it was the jade rabbit, it was the rabbit who was unwilling to be lonely, always loved to make a little sound, and made something wrong, accidentally, fell from a height, fell somewhere, knocked down, threw off a little drop of blood, for a while, frowned and shouted in pain, and shed two tears. Oops, on one side is the pearl, on the other side is the jade rabbit, so, fishing for the pearl or saving the jade rabbit? Chang'e hesitated slightly, and immediately made a decision, of course, save the Jade Rabbit first, no matter how precious the pearl is, it is just an object, no matter how ordinary the Jade Rabbit is, it is still a life, any time, any place, life, is far more precious than an object, isn't it? Thinking of this, he leaned over and gently picked up the jade rabbit, and then gently brushed away the thick hair, but found that he only broke a little skin, washed, dried, and bandaged it, and it was no big deal. It was only then that I remembered the pearl, remembered the lost pearl, hurriedly cleared the clouds, and searched carefully, where to find a small bead in the vast world, all over the world?

Where did Pearl go? Leave it aside for the time being, let me turn around and take a look at the world first, and see what happened in the world.

Let's say that the fish and rice township in the south of the Yangtze River, at the foot of the mountain and the Fuchun River, there is a large family surnamed Shi. Shi Gongzi married a lady, and Mrs. Shi was virtuous and dignified, with outstanding appearance. However, there is nothing to get out of the marriage for three years, which can be anxious for Mr. Shi and sad for Mrs. Shi, so the old man gives alms every day, and the old lady worships the Buddha every night. However, seeing that another year is about to pass, Mrs. Shi's belly is still like a wheat field at the head of the village, flat and flat, without a trace of bulges and ravines. So, the old gentleman began to look at the eyebrows, the old lady began to point at the mulberry and scold Huai, one day, a woman next door, leading the big one, holding the small one, passed by before the door, and the old lady immediately came to the topic:

"Look at people, look at people, having a child is as simple as laying an egg, raising a child is as easy as raising a cat, a good woman, what a good woman, can marry such a good woman, why worry about people not prospering? Underdeveloped family? That's it, that's it, chickens lay eggs, pigs give birth to babies, marry and marry, give birth and raise, the world is normal, humanity continues, as a woman, you can't give birth, you can't raise, that's a big crime, a big sin after cutting off people, a woman who commits such a big crime, and still has the face to stay in her husband's house, and the face to live in the world? …… Here, the old lady pointed her fingers and frothed at the mouth, and over there, Mrs. Shi lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, secretly crying. At this time, Shi Gongzi ate, drank, prostituted, and gambled...... When I came back tired of playing, I was not happy when I saw this scene:

"Mother, mother, let's get some virtue, let's get some virtue......"

"Phew, accumulate mouth, accumulate a fart mouth, seeing that our family is about to die, I am still in the mood to accumulate what the mouth, I only ask you, this lady, are you resting, resting is not resting?"

"However, I have seen it all within a radius of ten miles, and I really can't find a more virtuous and beautiful woman than my wife, call me Hugh, how can I give it up!"

Over there, the old gentleman was even more categorical, "Divorce your wife, immediately, otherwise, you don't want to get a penny from me, see how you spend your time drinking?" ”

That night was full of wind and rain, that night of mourning birds, that night of husband and wife, hugging their heads and crying, reluctant.

How Ren is nostalgic, how Ren is reluctant, as soon as the morning dawns, he has to be separated, and he has to be born.

The east wind is evil, the joy is thin, a sorrow, life and death, whose fault is it, whose fault is it.

Mrs. Shi carried a skinny bag and took broken steps? Don't say a word, don't look back, bow your head and walk away, tears streaming down your face, tears streaming down your face.

Shi Gongzi guarded the bed, hugged the pillow, didn't stay, didn't look, just looked at everything, burst into tears, burst into tears.

After Mrs. Shi was divorced, she did not go back to her parents' house crying like an ordinary woman. Think about it, an abandoned woman, who returned to her parents' house without saying anything or doing anything, has become the laughing stock of others and the shame of her mother's family, then, I have no fault or fault, why should I bear the white eyes of others? Suffered from the ridicule of others, no, never, so Mrs. Shi chose a pure place on the bank of the Fuchun River at the foot of Huiji Mountain, found a secluded place, built a hut, opened a few acres of thin fields, and lived a self-sufficient and semi-secluded life.

In the blink of an eye, it's been another three years,

One night three years later, the breeze was gentle, the moon was in the sky, Mrs. Shi was busy with everything, but it was difficult to sleep, so she came to the river alone, under the ancient tree, chose a big stone, sat down quietly, quietly watched everything, the ancient tree was entangled with old vines, the old vines were flooded with clear waves, a fish "dong" jumped out of the water, smashed a river of clear waves, and also smashed this river of sorrow, alas, three years, husband's family, mother's family has ever seen me? Has anyone ever thought about me? That, okay, one person and one world, but it is also quiet, and it is free to do nothing. Gradually, the wind was cold, the night was deep, even the moon yawned one by one, and began to feel sleepy, Mrs. Shi also stretched her waist, and there was a strong sense of tiredness, it was time to return. But at this moment, a very sudden fragrance of flowers came over, and it came around her neck, soft and soft, like a pillow. There is also a cloud floating down, covering her body, warm and warm, like a quilt, fragrant pillow cloud quilt, indescribably warm and comfortable, plus there is a song, a song from a long time ago, accompanied by her, step by step towards the dreamland, go. On the way, there are flowers, incense and singing, and there is a lotus pond, lotus leaf field, lotus flowers are in full bloom, red fish swim slowly, dew drops roll down, among the dewdrops, there is a huge, crystalline, flashing colorful pearls, can sing and dance and walk, and step by step to her, walk into her, stand beside her, ah, she was stunned all of a sudden, oh my God, that, where is a grain of dewdrop? It's clearly a tear, a tear, slowly sliding down from a woman's face, and that woman, woman, she only glanced, just looked, and was stunned all of a sudden, stupid, stunned there, couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, wow, there would be such a stunning woman in the world, the beauty seemed to shine, seemed to be fragrant, seemed to be like a dream, seemed to be illusory, seemed to be ethereal like smoke, dream-like, people did not dare to blink, did not dare to breathe, for fear that as long as a little sound, she would be scattered like the wind and disappear like a cloud, no longer visible, unable to find, This dreamlike woman, standing beside her, looked sad and tearful, and slowly opened her mouth:

"The little woman's name is Mingzhu, the vast world, the four seas and eight wildernesses, wandering for too long, too long, madam, can I borrow your body? Let my body and mind be attached to it, and let my soul be implemented......"

"Yes, of course you can," Mrs. Shi nodded again and again, that is, such a stunning woman, so begging, who can refuse!

I promised, and I wanted to say a few words of comfort, "Woo, woo" It seems that I heard the rooster crow, and when I opened my eyes, the sky was already bright, and it was a long dream.

I had to work at dawn, and I just wanted to get up, "Bang, bang......" But I unexpectedly heard a knock on the door, and when the door opened, there was a down-and-out old Taoist priest with a ragged head, the old Taoist priest stood at the door, not begging for money, not eating or drinking, just quietly watching her stupid smile;

"Madam, congratulations, you are pregnant, and you are still pregnant with a national beauty,"

Her face changed all of a sudden, how could it be? Where did the stinky Taoist come from? Early in the morning, I have lived alone for three years, guarding myself like jade, how can I get pregnant? Still pregnant with a captivating country? Thinking about it, the old Taoist priest glanced at it, went up the mountain to work, and as soon as he got busy, he quickly forgot about it.

A few months have passed in a blink of an eye, and in the past few months, she has felt more and more wrong, first of all, she is groggy all day, her limbs are weak, and she often feels nauseous and wants to vomit, and the most important thing is that, that one, that one has not come for months, for several months...... Does it seem like something is really wrong with your body? Since there is a problem, let's go see the doctor, In the market, in the bustling room, the doctor took the pulse seriously for her, and smiled at Mimi:

"Madam, congratulations, the joy of the pulse shows that you have been pregnant for a few months."

"What? Am I pregnant? For a while, she was a little dazed, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. She couldn't come back to her senses, but the people next to her came back, she couldn't react, but the people around her reacted quickly! Suddenly, there was laughter, laughter:

"Hehe, I have been married for three years and have nothing to do, but I have lived alone for three years, haha, what? Do you need to talk about it? “

"That's it, that's it, for sure, I don't abide by women's morals, mess around, and finally make a wild mongrel, really embarrassing my husband's family, really embarrassing my mother's family, really embarrassing our women's family,......"

Saliva, white eyes, vicious words, like frost and swords, like a basin of dirty water, splashed down, splashed down, she gritted her teeth and lowered her head, and quickly ran back to her little hut, closed the door and closed the window, and locked herself deeply. Until dark, until dawn, until the chai door is kicked open by "dong". It's Shi Qingchai, who broke in like the wind,

"Shi Lang, Shi Lang," at first glance, Shi Lang, many days of grievances, all the sadness, like the wind and waves, wave after wave of surging over, wave after wave of cover. Calling Shi Lang, calling Shi Lang, tears rolled down. However, as soon as the tears flowed halfway, I heard two "pop" sounds, my face was hot, my body was swayed several times, and I almost fell:

"You slut, a watery poplar slut, you whore, you are a whore, you are a whore who can be a husband, in vain I still have an unforgettable old love for you, in vain I still think about how to take you over again, now, I bah, bah ......" For a while, Shi Gongzi, who was named Shi Qingchai, had a blue face and roared like thunder.

After a hot and sharp pain, she raised her head, looked at her former Shi Lang, looked at the contempt in his eyes, contempt, frost-like indifference, and a cold war, and saw him clearly, saw him clearly, what is the deep meaning? What love is unforgettable? It turned out that it was all fake, he never believed in himself unconditionally, and he never really respected himself equally. Thinking about it, he smiled coldly, don't look away, and no longer look at the deformed face. Probably this smile, this disdainful and stubborn laugh, angered him, and then his words were even more mean and vicious:

"You won't say how you have been guarding yourself in the past three years, keeping yourself clean!"

"Yes"

"You won't say, you just had a dream, and you woke up from the dream and got pregnant!"

"Yes"

"I, bah, a slut, you are simply shameless and hopeless, from now on, don't let me see you again, you will never want to enter the Shi family again"

"Whatever you want, go well, don't send it'" Mrs. Shi slammed the door, sat quietly on the bed, covered her slightly bulging belly, and slowly shed tears, child, I don't know if you are a ghost or a fairy or a demon? In short, it is a piece of meat on my mother's body, and from now on, in this world, our mother and son will depend on each other.

Trivial matters were not mentioned, and a few months passed in a blink of an eye, and Mrs. Shi at this time was already pot-bellied and incapacitated. One night, she was busy with all the difficulty, tired lying on the bed but just lay down for a while, suddenly abdominal pain like a twist, she knew that the little enemy was about to be born, but, looking around, the wind was cold and the moon was clear, in the vast world, there was only the sound of water and insects, who would help me? Who will help me with the production? Even if I die here, no one will know! Thinking, the heart is miserable, tears unconsciously flowed down, tears, only to discuss with the child in the womb, baby, baby, you must be born safely, born safely, if there is a little accident, our mother and son have to die on the spot, as soon as I finished speaking, strange things happened, a miracle happened, as soon as I looked up, I saw a light, a red light with long feet, squeezed in from the crack of the door and window, all of a sudden the hut was red and red, in the red light, a cry, a little baby was born smoothly, Smoothly, she did not feel a trace of pain, a trace of bitterness, but a relaxed body, a happy expression, she was so happy; Gently look at your own child, is this my child? Is this really my child? I saw that the little guy has big eyes, high nose bridge, white skin and translucent red, and the whole body is as smooth and bright as white jade, wow, such a small child is already so beautiful that people can't open their eyes, I can't help but feel a burst of joy, and what is even more gratifying is that there is a red rope on my daughter's neck, the pearl on the red rope, the crystal sparkling colorful glow, born with a pearl, child, you are destined to be extraordinary.

Just thinking about it, "Dong Dong" There was a knock on the door, and the door opened, which Taoist priest was driven away last time, this time, Mrs. Shi took a deep look, was pious, and respectfully:

"Dao Chief, by your auspicious words, I really gave birth to a daughter, and now it seems that the little girl has a fate with the Dao Chief, so please give the Dao Commander a name,"

"Okay" The elder didn't shirk, he walked straight into the room, looked at the baby carefully, and showed a pleased smile on his face, "It's really good, Mingzhu, you have found the right person," Turning to Mrs. Shi, "When the child was born, a red light flashed, and it was blessed by auspicious light, so that it was born safely, for gratitude, it is called Yiguang,"

"Shi Yiguang, what a beautiful name, thank you Dao Chang for the name,"

The elder leaned down again, and gently touched the pearl, which was meaningful, the day the pearl was lost, at the end of life, the pearl was a life, and it must not be lost or lost, remember to remember," After that, gently exiting the door, Mrs. Shi remembered that she should serve a cup of tea, so she gently chased to the door, the wind was gentle, the clouds were leisurely, the mountain flowers were blooming, the birds were flying, where was there still the shadow of the elder?
