The white birds are singing, the clouds are cleared and the fog is dispersed, and the road down the mountain is like flowing water, twists and turns, but it is also unimpeded.

Zhang hunchback walked on the way down the mountain, his mood was really a little low, he had been up and down the mountain for thirty-nine years, and he was tired of hearing this bird call!

People under the mountain say that touching the scene is easy to love, as long as you listen to the birds on the mountain, you can be happy, and all the sorrows will float out of the clouds in an instant. But the more he listened, the more sad he became, the more he listened, the more melancholy he became, remembering his life experience, only made him want to cry without tears.

The young eagle still has the eagle pain, and he is still in infancy and has no father.

Fate is really a wonderful thing, when the abbot of the temple came back from the mountain, he happened to pick him up at the bottom of the mountain, this pick-up, is a blessing or a curse, but it is not clear.

Anyway, he complained about it, what prospects did he have for being picked up by a monk? Naturally, it is to be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, and when it comes to it, there are only nine words: carrying water and chopping wood, sitting in meditation and worshiping Guanyin.

What do you think will happen if you let the big family pick it up? Naturally, I wore flower clothes, shook a flower fan, sat a playboy, and then sat on a big sedan chair, took a few dog legs, walked around the east and west markets, and finally looked for a few little ladies...... This day is simply refreshing, happy and free like a fairy!

Or, rather, let the royal family pick it up. It has not been uncommon for tanuki to change the prince since ancient times, what if he becomes the prince by mistake? Although it is not as good as the emperor who has 3,000 beauties in the harem, he can also sit in the palace, choose a basket of princesses, and fill the east and west chambers, which is also a beautiful thing that others can not hope for!

I often hear the pilgrims coming down the mountain talk about it, saying that the matter of choosing a princess is very interesting. Qinhuai is ten miles away, but anyone who looks a little bit is qualified to give it a try, as long as you find a reliable painter, ask him to draw his appearance on paper, and then ask someone to send the portrait into the palace, if you can be seen by the prince, then it will be a pheasant into a phoenix.

But ah! This fate is still in the hands of the painter, if the painting is ugly, then there is no play, therefore, those women who want to be phoenixes are tasked with giving money to the painter, only hoping that the painter can show mercy.

There was once such a joke. said that Wang Wan's family has thousands of properties, but there is only one daughter under his knees, and the specific reason is not clear, and a very obscure saying is that the master of the Wang family "can't be a person".

Anyway, God is quite polite to his family, and there is a daughter under his knees, but ah, this woman is very ugly, even if she has a face, she is still a camel. Seeing that his daughter was about to talk about marriage, this Wang Million was worried all day long, thinking about how to marry his daughter.

It stands to reason that with a rich family background, it is not difficult to recruit a son-in-law, but the problem lies with the daughter of the Wang family herself, this woman is very delicate, and she has fantasized about being a mother in the palace since she was a child.

Wang million is crazy about spoiling women, and he definitely can't be a mother, but it is still possible to be a princess. So, I hired a skilled painter and stuffed a lot of money to let him paint his ugly daughter as beautiful as a fairy.

It just so happened that the prince was also obsessed with lust, and after seeing the picture of the beauty, he immediately ordered someone to handle the marriage. In the night of the candles in the cave room, the prince lifted his hijab with joy, and saw the true face of the beauty, as if he had seen a ghost, and was immediately scared half to death.

There was a scream in the middle of the night in the cave room, but fortunately, the people outside went to find out the cause in time, and found someone to treat in time, so that he picked up half a life, but this prince has become a fool since then!

Some people often joke that in these years, those businessmen have traveled south and north in the wind and rain for several years, and they are not as good as a painter who can make a lot of money with a few strokes.

Alas, it's a pity that these dreams can only be sweet dreams, dreams that Zhang hunchback thinks about day and night.

I can only blame myself for my bad life, the abbot once picked up the mountain, the love is empty, the color is also empty, and the mirror is just a dream.

A month ago, he had a big quarrel with the abbot, bluntly saying that he was going down the mountain, he didn't want to be a monk, he wanted to be a mortal once, if the abbot didn't agree, he set fire to Jinming Temple in the middle of the night.

He was stubborn, and the abbot was helpless, so he made him a promise. said that the abbot wanted to go down the mountain, but he didn't ask, and the abbot didn't say. After three days, when he returned, he would take off his monk's robe for him, take the cloth he had sewn for him, and change it for him, so that he could go down the mountain, and he would never have to go up again.

He was overjoyed when he heard this, and tossed and turned on the mountain day and night for three days, but what he was waiting for was not the abbot, but the news of the abbot's death.

I heard that he died on the way back, but how he died has become a mystery.

How can he care how the abbot died, and said that he would come back and take off his monk's clothes for him and allow him to go down the mountain? As a result, everyone died! What's worse is that when the abbot dies, there is no backbone in the temple, and someone usually has to come out to inherit the abbot's mission.

Several old monks in the temple habitually took the document written by the abbot before his death, and found that the document recorded that he was the abbot's eldest disciple thirty years ago, and there was a Dharma name called Demei!

He was shocked at the time, for so many years, he had always thought that he was an abandoned baby picked up casually by the abbot, and he took him up the mountain to be a monk, because he was hunchbacked, and his ability was not much better than others, he was a man.

But now someone actually told him that he still has a law name! Inexplicably became the abbot's big disciple? Strange to say, for so many years, he had never seen the abbot accept an apprentice, and he never thought that he was the only apprentice in his lifetime.

It was only half an hour to be flattered, and thinking that his wish to go down the mountain and become a mortal ended without a problem, he longed to find a tree with a crooked neck and hang him.

He thought about it all night, and felt that he should take advantage of the chaos in the temple to escape down the mountain, although he was a little sorry for the Buddha, and his name would be stinky for 10,000 years, but he just wanted to go down the mountain!

Unexpectedly, the day after he made his decision, the old monks held a meeting in the temple and said that after their careful consideration, it was unanimously decided to elect him as the next abbot.

This time, instead of looking for a crooked-necked tree to hang himself, he ran directly to the cliff and jumped down with all his might.

On weekdays, he did a lot of things like being lazy and eating meat and peeking at beautiful pilgrims, and he should be swept out of the house if he repeatedly violated the temple rules, and it was no one else who was talking about him, it was him who was hunchbacked.

Let him be the abbot? It's inexplicable! Are those old monks serious?

I didn't even think about it, he wanted to escape, he had to escape.

On that day, the temple was as chaotic as ever, there were people who stole incense money, there were people who molested pilgrims, and there were more than one person who took the opportunity to sneak down the mountain. There are even people from other temples who come to make trouble, in short, Jinming Temple is in unprecedented chaos, and this scene is seen by him.

When he walked out of Jinming Temple with his burden, stood under the archway, and looked back, for some reason, the bits and pieces of the past appeared in front of him, and he even saw the abbot smiling at him and calling him. 14

He suddenly didn't want to go.

I found the old monks and told them that he was willing to be the abbot.

After a few days of thinking about it, I have some regrets and feel that I was too impulsive. But seeing that Jinming Temple had returned to its previous peace, his heart felt particularly down-to-earth.

After being an abbot for so long, in fact, it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult, but the things that should not be done before, now that they are done, there is a reason, it is still the logical kind, and no one dares to say about him, not to mention that he has a lot of ghost ideas, and it is not easy for them to find out.

The old monk is in charge of everything in the temple, he only needs to be responsible for eating and sleeping, and when he is bored, he goes to the temple to wander around, and this kind of day is also a special taste.

But after staying for a long time, he felt bored and panicked, and his heart itched again.

Although he said that as an abbot, the previous efforts have been reined in, but these days he really can't hold it anymore, so he just wants to have some fun.

I don't hear that there is a flower boat floating on the Qinhuai River, there is a beautiful lady on the flower boat, who looks like a fairy, and if the silver is lost, it can be taken home as a wife's room.

Only then did he deceive those old monks, took some incense money, said that he was going down the mountain to relieve the refugees, but in fact he wanted to go to the Qinhuai River to take a walk, he also wanted to try his hand, if the silver was lost to the beautiful girl, find a reason to take it up the mountain, from now on, it is good to be a happy abbot on the mountain with peace of mind.

Zhang hunched back and looked up at the sky, felt that it was not early, straightened the burden on his shoulders, and limped down the mountain.

In the distance, the strange mountains stand upright, the mountains are continuous, the mountains are covered with snow, the steep and multifaceted, the clouds cover the mist, among the white snow, there are also emerald green branches.

At this time, many people had gathered at the Liuye Ferry, and a flower boat floated on the water three pennies away from the ferry.

There is a beautiful girl, a white shirt, green silk and ink dyeing, a colorful fan elegant, like a fairy, like a frightening stop at the bow of the ship. The flower boat is elegantly decorated, which complements the outfit of the beautiful girl. She sometimes raised her wrist and lowered her eyebrows, sometimes lightly Shu Yun's hand, the fan in her hand was closed and held, like a pen walking dragon and snake painting Danqing, the wide long cuffs danced with the wind, and the whole person wanted to support the breeze.

A pair of silver eyes like the water of the river under the moon, slightly raised, like the moon floating out of the clouds, seeing the silver coming, there is no trace of fluctuation in the eyes, but the slightly raised corners of the mouth outline a trace of a smile.

She held a colorful fan in her hand, her posture was graceful, like clouds and mist, and when she glanced back, she saw a splash of water three feet high, and the water surface opened a cold ripple.

"Mei Jiao Niang, get off the boat!"

There was a butcher with a fat head and big ears, supported his waist with both hands, and shouted to the beautiful lady opposite.

"No, no."

Mei Jiao Niang closed the color fan and refused. The sound was like a thrush, and it was melodious, attracting a bird or two, and it stopped on the canopy.

"Why not? I've lost my money, get off the boat and come home with me!" ”

The butcher was impatient.

"Throw all your silver into the water behind the flower boat, and the water will splash three feet high!"

Mei Jiao Niang calmly continued.

Everyone was dumbfounded like the butcher, obviously seeing that the silver had hit Mei Jiaoniang's body, who expected, there were inexplicable ripples flying in the water. The crowd hung their heads and began to sigh for a long time.

"I've lost all the money, and I haven't lost it yet?"

"Brother Butcher! You might as well kill the pig tonight and sell the pig on the long street tomorrow to make money, and then come here, maybe there will be a chance! ”

Mei Jiao Niang reminded gently.

The butcher scratched his head, feeling that what Mei Jianniang said was not unreasonable, and suddenly raised his head and shouted at Mei Jianniang.

"Alright, then I'll come back tomorrow."

As he spoke, he picked up the money bag under him, shook his back, turned around and bumped out of the crowd, reluctant to tell him.

"Mei Jiaoniang, wait for me!"

Mei Jiao Niang couldn't help but hide her lips and laugh, and someone on the ferry secretly mocked: "This money butcher is really stupid, when he comes tomorrow, this Mei Jiao Niang will have been thrown home a long time ago." ”

Just when everyone was eager to try but was worried because of the shyness in their pockets, a hunchbacked monk limped under the shade of the willow tree.

Zhang hunched back and stopped, facing the loess, gasping for a while, the two short eyebrows gradually stretched, the burden could not be hung up, slid from the shoulder to the arm, and fell under the feet.

He didn't care about it, he just wiped the sweat on his forehead with the placket of his clothes, and when he heard the noise, he couldn't help but look up and look at the front left, where the crowd was dense and boiling, and the heads of people were swinging high and low, and through a curtain of willow branches, for a moment, he seemed to really see the fairy flashing in front of his eyes.

His heart was beating wildly, he blinked his eyes, and picked up the silver to hurry up.
