Early the next morning, Gu Mengping talked to the old monk about asking Zhang Xubai to see a doctor for him.

The old monk was stunned, touched Gu Mengping's cheek lovingly, and was very pleased, "The old monk is not a shy doctor, but a doctor who has no cure." ”

"The spring sun grows, everything draws seedlings, the yang energy of heaven and earth is getting deeper and deeper, the old monk feels that his body is getting better and better day by day, why do you want to ask Zhang Daochang to come and see? The old monk can see the spring of one more year, which is the blessing of the old monk. If you can't see it all over, it's the old monk's chance. ”

Last year, he had asserted that he would not live for more than a few months, but now it was spring. A few more months after what he said, Gu Mengping sincerely hoped that the old monk would live a few more years.

"Qingjing still has to participate in the imperial examination for fifteen years, I want to earn a phoenix crown for my grandmother, and I want the master to see that Qingjing has become the champion Lang and participated in the Qionglin banquet on the street......" Gu Mengping smiled slightly, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, "Qingjing can't live without the master!" ”

The old monk bowed his head, his face remained unchanged, but there was an indescribable sadness in his heart.

Before noon, a servant from Hexing Town came over and said that Daoist Zhang Xubai would come later.

When Lao An saw that Gu Mengping really invited the well-known Zhang Xubai, he was overjoyed and hurriedly swept the courtyard and outside the street gate. The longer the old monk lives, the more happy it is for her, and it is a rare honor for the whole world to have a person who is more than 100 years old in the family.

And with the elders in the family, she also feels at ease. No matter where you go, there can be a person who is concerned, no matter sooner or later, there can be someone to ask for peace, and when you get home, you can call your grandmother and someone to reply, this is the greatest happiness in the world.

At noon, a horse-drawn carriage slowly stopped in front of the street gate of the outer three rooms.

Gu Mengping hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Zhang Xubai, who had a clear appearance and still a straight figure, jumped off the carriage without waiting for Gu Mengping to stretch out his hand, he looked at Gu Mengping, and said with deep meaning, "Boy, you ran fast last night, and Lao Dao was out of breath after him, and it was not easy to catch up with you." ”

Gu Mengping's face turned red! Last night was his rudeness, because he was worried about the old monk's health, he didn't dare to spend the night in Hexing Town. And he was in too much of a hurry, and he didn't have time to say goodbye to the real master of the Lin Mansion.

"The kid is rude, and he will come to the door another day to make amends." Gu Mengping was extremely ashamed.

Seeing that he instantly understood what he meant, he opened his white jaw and twisted his beard and smiled.

At this time, the curtain of the car was lifted again, and a fragrance diffused from the car. Immediately after, someone jumped out of the car.

Xiao Wanyi was dressed in a Taoist robe, her eyebrows were slanted, and she was heroic, and smiled slightly at Gu Mengping, "Huh? It turned out to be Brother Gu? Hello! ”

Gu Mengping was stunned, and then lowered his eyelids, "Brother Xiao, hello." ”

Seeing that Gu Mengping cooperated with him and did not expose it, Xiao Wanyi looked at Zhang Xubai with a smug expression. Zhang Xubai seemed to dote on her very much, but just smiled and shook his head.

Lao An led Jiamu and Yingsleeve to stand inside the door to greet him.

Seeing Ying Sleeve, Xiao Wanyi was stunned for a moment, then squinted her eyes appreciatively, touched her hands between her sleeves, and sent a whistle carved from blue bamboo to Ying Sleeve's hand, "Little sister, this is for you to play." ”

Xiao Wanyi could see that she was extremely beautiful even if she was dressed as a man, and Ying Sleeve raised her head and glanced at her, and said seriously: "Thank you, beautiful sister." ”

Xiao Wanyi's face turned red.

The old monk was sitting in the upper room, with Gongsun Yuan and Yijing on the left and right.

The weather was still a little cold in early spring, and Gu Mengping was afraid that the old monk would freeze, so he closed the windows tightly. Therefore, the light in the room was a little dim, and the old monk sat cross-legged under the shadow of the lamp, with a dignified appearance, a calm heart, and a long breath.

Zhang Xubai, who had just stepped into the upper room, paused suddenly, and then returned to normal.

Gu Mengping hurriedly introduced, "This is Zhang Xubai Dao Chang of Nanyang Xuanmiaoguan...... This is the master, and the Dharma name is Mingkong......"

For some reason, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

The old monk and Zhang Xubai, the two of them were far away from each other, one standing and the other sitting, one with a complicated expression, and the other with low eyebrows and lowered eyes.

Gu Mengping looked at Gongsun Yuan, and Gongsun Yuan also looked at him. The two of them shook their heads at the same time, not knowing why.

"You're here?" After a while, the old monk finally opened his mouth.

"Yes, I'm here."

"Come to see a doctor?"

"Yes."

"Then look!"

"Okay, then look!"

Under the surprised gaze of everyone in the room, Zhang Xubai really sat in front of the old monk, holding an oil lamp in his hand, and watched his five views seriously.

Then, Zhang Xubai slowly put the oil lamp back in its place, picked up a silver hairpin and gently picked up the lantern flowers. "We haven't seen each other in fifty years, have we?" His eyes were indifferent, and he gently blew the putty on the hairpin.

"yes, I haven't seen this face in fifty years." The old monk sighed, in a light tone, with sadness and memories.

Gu Mengping and Gongsun Yuan were shocked, the old monk and Zhang Xubai actually knew each other? What's going on?

But what was even more surprising than them was Xiao Wanyi, who had been silent since she entered the upper room. She never knew that Zhang Daochang was still in contact with the people of the Buddhist family? Didn't Zhang Daochang always hate Buddhism the most? Just because Master Hui is in Beijing, he would rather not have the title of the imperial court than enter Beijing as a national teacher.

Why does he seem to have old acquaintances with the master in front of him?

But before she could figure it out, Yijing had already asked them out. They were not even allowed to stay in the courtyard, and stubbornly invited them to sit in the study.

When Yijing was about to go out, Gu Mengping took his hand, "Yijing, what's going on?" ”

Yijing turned his head and looked at Gu Mengping with a calm face, his face full of sadness.

Gu Mengping had never seen such a Yijing, he grabbed Yijing's hand and said urgently: "Yijing, did I do something wrong?" Shouldn't I have asked Daochang Zhang to come over? ”

Yijing shook his head and pointed in the direction of the upper room.

Gu Mengping lowered his voice, "Do they have a grudge?" ”

Yijing shook his head again.

Gu Mengping relieved his heart at this time, and took Yijing's hand and let go a little.

Last year, when he said that he wanted to invite Zhang Daochang to come over for treatment, the old monk flatly refused, but he did not think about it in detail.

In the upper room, Zhang Xubai's expression was quite excited, and his fingers trembled slightly, "I always thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to secretly hide in Suiping for ......decades with the Tao to enter the Buddha and change the Dharma name."

"Gu Yu, don't you feel ashamed of me?"

Hearing him evoke his common name, the old monk Shuijing Wubo's face was finally moved. He chanted the Buddha's name and clasped his hands together, "Right and wrong, grievances and grievances will pass with time, so why be persistent?" ”

"Why be persistent?" Zhang Xubai's emotions became excited, he stood up suddenly, pointed at the old monk with his finger, his eyes widened, "Why are you persistent in this sentence, it has hurt my sister for the rest of her life." Do you know how painful she was before she died? She broke off the relationship with her family for you, ran the world for you, and almost assassinated Emperor Hui for you...... How do you treat her? Just give her a sentence that you don't have to be persistent? ”

"You know that she is passionate about you, but you pretend to be a person who has no desire. You tell her that this way of heaven is not the way of heaven of another, and everything in the world is in chaos, and you have to put things right...... Good you Gu Yu, good you Ying Zhenzi. You and your master are one shameless and the other ruthless! Your master has been shouting all day long that sooner or later the Southern Song Dynasty will be destroyed by foreign races, so it is better to replace it now and take Zhu Jianming. What about you, for the sake of your own selfishness, you instigated Chengzu to destroy Emperor Hui...... You two masters and apprentices, none of them have a good thing. ”

The old monk raised his eyes to look at him, and his wrinkled face was tinged with sadness, "You and I are both in a dream, and after waking up from the dream, it will be the end." Don't say that you and me, even the world is also in a dream. This Heavenly Dao is not the other Heavenly Dao, and the cycle of Heavenly Principles will eventually be broken. ”

"What a mess, nonsense! That's how you lied to my sister back then, but my sister still believed it, and followed you to mess around with you without a name......" Zhang Xubai was angry.

The old monk sighed, "We are all living in other people's dreams. After saying this, he never said a word again.
