Leshan, also known as Jiazhou, has the reputation of 'Begonia Fragrance Country'. After Li Bai left Chengdu, he was in a hurry, and he didn't bother too much to look at the surrounding scenery, he just wanted to hurry up and fight with swords, save the people from the dire situation, and get rid of the man-eating monster.

In mid-March, it was warm and springy, the snow was harvested, and the weather was no longer cold. Li Bai rode the wind and traveled quickly, and he had already arrived at the boundary of Leshan in four days, and he could climb the mountain and go to the Buddha Temple every other day.

Li Bai first found a good inn to rest, stopped, changed into clean clothes, and took a sip of tea. Then he went out, planning to go around and find out about the man-eating monster.

From the end of the day to the beginning of the time, Li Bai listened a lot, and found that it was almost the same as what Hou Gui said, and they all said how powerful this man-eating monster was. It is also said that this monster is a fish spirit, and it usually hides under the water and is nowhere to be seen. But as long as the midnight watch arrives on the 24th of every month, they will come out to plague the world and harm the people.

Li Bai calculated the day, and it just so happened that two days later would be March 24, and then this demon could be removed. However, Li Bai was still a little uneasy in his heart, for fear that he would not be able to deal with this demon with his own strength, and he regretted that he had delayed the business by letting Wu Dao, Siguo and Wugui go to watch the sword dance that day. But Li Bai also knew that Hou Gui was useless, so he had to hope that Hou Gui could find them soon and come to help.

After a casual meal at a small wine inn to fill my stomach, the sun has set, the middle of the hour has arrived, and the sky will be dark. On the streets and alleys, the flow of people began to disperse, and the vendors were busy packing up their things, closing the doors and windows from house to house.

This scene is not the first time Li Bai has seen it, all because of the precepts and curfews. From the darkness of the night, the people were not allowed to go out, or they would be beaten or put to death, whoever it was.

There was once a prince's son who drank too much wine, and he began to play drunkard, and he couldn't stop him from messing around. As he played, he went out of the house and went crazy on the street, just in time to meet the night watchman.

I saw it at night, no matter who he was, he was beaten up and covered with his head. After the beating, he woke up with a bucket of water, and then asked who the prince's son was, what he came out for, why he had violated the precepts, and so on.

The prince's son has not completely disappeared from alcohol, and when he heard that these night guards didn't know him, he immediately scolded them, which was extremely ugly. And these night watchmen, in fact, know the son of this prince, but knowing is knowing, everything has to be according to the rules, so ask who he is, etc.

Originally, these night guards didn't plan to embarrass him much, thinking that they would just teach him a lesson and fill the scene. But as soon as he heard his scolding, a few night guards became angry, and they beat him again without saying a word.

He had been beaten so much that the wine woke up. But out of instinct, the first thing he did when he woke up was to run away, find a gap and 'slip' and jump into the river next to him, and run.

And before he jumped, he also left a cruel word at these night guards, saying: "You wait for me, my father is who, you are dead, wait." ”

As a result, when he swam and swam from the river and returned home, he suddenly found that he had suffered! The house was raided! And before the prince's son could react to what was going on, the night guards suddenly jumped out with a big knife in their hands, and took him down after dividing five by two.

Again, no one is a fool. The prince's son didn't say that, and a few night guards didn't plan to care, thinking that you should run, let us run, we should have no such thing, so you can forget about the curfew.

But as soon as he said it, it was broken, and in order to protect himself, a few night guards ran to this prince's nemesis, another prince, overnight, and told him about it. When he heard this, he was overjoyed, and said in his heart that he had finally caught a justifiable charge against you.

Immediately, he took out a lot of gold, silver and jewelry and gave them to these night guards, so that they were determined that the prince's family was going to rebel. He said unjustly that the prince had sent his son out tonight to deliver a letter, and the night guard had found a letter saying that he was going to rebel and wanted to arrest him, but his son grabbed the letter and jumped into the river and ran away.

For thousands of years, the thing that every emperor feared the most was that his throne would not be stable, and someone would rebel. No matter how good the emperor is, no matter how much he is loved by the people, he is afraid, especially the stronger the country, the more afraid he is.

The way of the Tao is the way of heaven. The way of heaven is the way of all things in the world.

Since ancient times, every dynasty and country has been the same, no pole Tailai, no Tai pole comes, there is no permanent country. The stronger a country is, the cheaper and less valuable food it becomes. To put it bluntly, people will be full of food and support when they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

The world is relative, yin and yang are intertwined, but they are also opposites. As the country becomes more and more prosperous, the business will gradually become higher and higher, and the agricultural will become lower and lower. That is, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

The really rich are in the minority, while the poor are in the majority. Gradually, all kinds of discord will arise, in short, public resentment.

The stronger the country, the more dissatisfied the people's hearts will be, and the greater the people's grievances. Although the emperors knew this, they did not have a solution to the root cause, and for thousands of years, no dynasty or country could come up with it. The faster the stronger, the faster the death, this is called Taiji Sheng.

However, although there is no way to "cure the root cause", there are still ways to "cure the symptoms", and there are countless of them. For example, some dynasties have implemented systems such as 'forbidden weapons' and 'forbidden weapons'.

The ban on martial arts, to put it simply, is to prohibit the practice of martial arts, and the people are not allowed to have a strong physique. The ban on weapons is to prohibit swords, weapons, and a series of sharp blades. For example, in the Qin Dynasty, when people wanted to buy a kitchen knife, they had to go to the official family for registration with their real names.

All of these are the techniques of the emperor to govern the people, and among these things, the most enforced is the curfew. Since the problem cannot be solved fundamentally, then any possibility of problems should be banned, even if it is inconspicuous.

The Tang Dynasty is in a peaceful and prosperous era, and it is strong. What the people can't see, but the emperor can see, so the curfew has always been strict.

When the hour came, the people had to turn off the lights and go to bed. Li Baijiu was full of food, and he didn't dare to stay longer, so he took a step and walked to the inn.

But unexpectedly, when he was about to arrive at the inn, Li Bai saw a familiar figure far away. This figure is petite, wearing a yellow dress, and here is carrying a lot of things in a big bag, and slowly moving to the inn with great difficulty.

This person is Lu Xiaoyu.

Li Bai saw the things she was carrying in her hand, and she knew that they were all herbs, bought for her sister Xu Lanxian. Seeing her helpless appearance, Li Bai couldn't help but want to go over and help her carry it, because her portion this time was more than double that of the last time the two of them went to buy it.

But as soon as he took half a step, Lu Xiaoyu suddenly turned around, so frightened that Li Bai was stunned, and hurriedly retreated back to the wall. After taking a few breaths of air, he quietly and slowly poked his head out to look, Deng, and saw that the reason why Lu Xiaoyu turned around was that the bag of herbs in his hand fell to the ground, so that Li Bai was secretly glad that she didn't see herself.

At this time, a familiar figure came out of the inn, it was the shopkeeper. He saw Lu Xiaoyu carrying a large bag of herbs, so he hurriedly came up to help, and then walked in as he spoke.

"Oh my God!" Li Bai looked at the direction of the inn, frowned, and said to himself, "Why did they come to Leshan too?" Still in the same inn as me? ”

"Alas! It's all my fault! After only one meal, Li Bai remembered one thing in his mind, that is, on that day, Li Bai said to Lu Xiaoyu to come to Leshan to ask the Buddha Temple to worship the Buddha.

Li Bai didn't rush into the inn, for fear of running into it again, so he stayed outside for a while. It wasn't until he saw a few patrols coming to clear people on the street that Li Bai tiptoed in and quietly went back to his room.

The night passed like this, and Li Bai never came out again since he went in. The next day, Li Bai woke up very early because of habit. But what is different is that Li Bai didn't dare to go to the courtyard to practice swords, nor did he dare to play any kind of five-bird play, so he kept lying by the window and looking out through the gap.

For no other reason, just because Li Bai got up early, Lu Xiaoyu actually got up earlier. From before dawn, Lu Xiaoyu was boiling medicine in the courtyard, facing Li Bai's house.

Li Bai couldn't find a gap to escape, Lu Xiaoyu boiled too much medicine, a whole five stoves. This is busy, that is busy, Li Bai can't leave at all.

It wasn't until around midnight that Lu Xiaoyu put away the medicine stoves, and asked the shopkeeper to help prepare a carriage, saying that he wanted to go out for a walk. Hearing the news, Li Bai was very happy, and said in his heart: 'Finally, I can go to the thatched house!' ’

After going back and forth, Lu Xiaoyu and the others left the inn, and Li Bai finally walked out of the house. After washing and washing, I followed the route I got yesterday and rushed to the Wenfo Temple, ready to meet Zen Master Lingyun.

The scenery along the way is very good, but Li Bai has no intention of enjoying the scenery, he just wants to hurry up. When he arrived at the foot of the Buddha Temple, Li Bai saw that many people were also going to the Buddha Temple, all of whom were pilgrims.

Coincidentally, it is not unfortunate that from a long distance, Li Bai saw Lu Xiaoyu again. She obviously has a lot of incense paper money in her hand, but she jumps and jumps, she doesn't seem to feel tired, and she looks cute.

"Oh my God!" Li Bai: "Why did you meet her again?" ”

Li Bai was helpless and wanted to turn around and go back, but stopped after thinking about it. Knowing that the man-eating monster was going to come out tomorrow and night, I had to go to the Buddha Temple to find Lingyun Zen Master and discuss countermeasures. So, Li Bai had no choice but to quietly follow him up the mountain, waiting for an opportunity.

It didn't take long for Lu Xiaoyu, who was jumping around, to be called back by a person behind her. This person has a blue dress and a beautiful back, but because his back is facing Li Bai, Li Bai can't see her appearance clearly. But seeing Lu Xiaoyu's obedient appearance to her, Li Bai immediately guessed that this blue-clothed woman must be Xu Lanxian.

Li Bai didn't dare to look at it more, and kept following him, keeping his head down. Accompanied by pilgrims who have no contact, after about two sticks of incense, they went up the mountain and came to the Buddha Temple.

There are two little monks in front of the temple who twist Donkey Kong Bodhi, eleven or twelve years old without worry. Lu Xiaoyu and Xu Lanxian seemed to know them and knew each other very well. Li Bai saw that they greeted each other, and then a monk led Lu Xiaoyu and Xu Lanxian in, and soon disappeared.

After Li Baixie waited for a while, he walked up to another little monk and asked, "Little master, dare to ask where Zen Master Lingyun is?" I am here to pay a visit on the orders of my family teacher! ”

"Anthracene?" The little monk was stunned, and did not answer in a hurry, looking very vigilant. After looking Li Bai up and down, he bent over and said, "What is the name of the donor?" Who is a master teacher? And why did you come to visit? ”

"In Xia Li Bai, the family teacher is Dong Yanzi, Zhao Rui." Li Bai returned the salute and said, "I came because of the man-eating monster." ”

"Dong Yanzi, Zhao Rui?" The little monk rolled his eyes thoughtfully, and after pursing the corners of his mouth, he said, "Donor, please come with me." ”

"Little master." Li Bai: "There is labor! ”

In this way, Li Bai followed the little monk through the crowd and soon came to a more secluded courtyard. Although there are pilgrims around, there are very few, and they all gather in front of a Buddha statue to kneel and burn incense.

"Donor, you wait here." The little monk politely said: "I'm going to report to the master, because someone just came to the master, don't bother people." ”

"Anthracene!" Li Bai: "Little master, please!" ”

The little monk saluted and walked towards the side. Li Bai saw that the courtyard of this temple was quite large, there were pavilions and pavilions, and the Buddha statues stood dignified, so he suddenly had the heart to enjoy the scenery. Thinking that the little monk should not turn back too early, Li Bai was in high spirits and walked along the vicinity of the courtyard to enjoy it.

Soon, Li Bai found that the courtyard was a little winding, with twists and turns, like a maze. Li Bai went around and around to a particularly large Bodhi tree, which was full of red ropes, and a sign was hung at the end of the rope, and the sign was engraved with two names with different surnames and different names; Behind the sign are all kinds of messages. As soon as Li Bai saw it, he knew that this big Bodhi tree was a marriage tree, which was found in many temples.

When Li Bai arrived, there were many people next to him who were happy, talking and laughing and hanging the marriage sign they begged for. Others knelt on the ground and kowtowed, vowing to be united forever, holding the hand of the son and growing old with the son. Others clenched their fists and closed their eyes, making a wish facing the marriage tree, and their faces were full of happiness.

Li Bai has never seen such a big Bodhi tree, nor has he seen this marriage tree, and more of them have only seen it in books. So I was curious, walked under the tree and looked up at the various messages behind the sign. Sometimes he shook his head, sometimes he laughed, and sometimes he looked sad.

Just as he was looking at it with great interest, suddenly, a voice like a silver bell came from behind Li Bai, saying, "Shaoxia, can I ask you, I accidentally got lost." ”

Li Bai turned his head when he heard the voice, and when he boarded, he saw a stunning face, which was reflected in front of him. In just a moment, Li Bai forgot everything, and looked at her in front of him stupidly, motionless as if she was a stone sculpture.
