Chapter 40: A Catastrophe Within a Disaster
The Buddha said: People have seven sufferings, birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love and parting, and can't ask for it.
Heaven is ruthless, so Heaven is the fairest, God let Xu Xian marry a woman he couldn't even dream of marrying, and naturally he will double the other hardship and let him pay it back, how much happiness he gets, he will always use more pain to repay.
Girl Qing'er (Ren Tingting) is a troublemaker, often use spells to do some naughty things, since he knows that his two wives still know some Xuanmen spells, Zhuo Ao is not surprised, continue to be his shopkeeper, and strive to accumulate experience, he set a goal for himself, three years later, to open his own pharmacy, even the name is taken, it is called Baoantang.
It's a pity that nine times out of ten, Zhuo Ao lives frugally in order to be able to accumulate enough savings to open a store, Bai Suzhen (Xiao Zhao) is gentle by nature, and naturally supports this, but Xiaoqing girl can't see her sister living this hard life, and uses spells to steal official silver, which results in the East Window incident.
Although Qing'er is a girl, she is like a sister with her mother, and Zhuo Ao, as a man, naturally can't let a woman bear the responsibility, and was sentenced to three years of assassination in Suzhou.
In this regard, Zhuo Ao did not blame Qing'er, because the incident had already happened, no matter who was blamed, it would not help, but hurt the harmony of the family.
So, Zhuo Ao's catastrophe began, fortunately, Bai Suzhen (Xiao Zhao) and Qing'er secretly protected each other all the way, although there were many ups and downs, but the husband and wife protected and supported each other, and finally they went all the way down.
Three years later, when he returned to Hangzhou, Zhuo Ao finally saved enough silver taels in these three years, and after returning to Hangzhou, he opened a pharmacy of his own - Baoantang.
At this point in the story, although it is quite bumpy, it can be regarded as a happy ending, but it is a pity. These are only the beginning of suffering, Zhuo Ao is also on Nanshan, and met the ultimate nemesis of their husband and wife's life, the abbot of Jinshan Temple, Fahai.
Shemales have different paths, and heaven does not tolerate them. As the defender of the Heavenly Dao, Fahai resolutely took Zhuo Ao, who had no strength, to Jinshan Temple in the case of fruitless persuasion.
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing naturally couldn't tolerate it, and came to a vicious fight with Fahai outside the Jinshan Temple, the two rolled up a thousand huge waves, the water flooded the Jinshan, and Fahai used the robe as a wall to build a dam, which was on par with the two.
Zhuo Ao took advantage of this opportunity. deceived the monks in the temple, escaped from Jinshan Temple, and after converging Xiao Zhao and Tingting, they walked away, and Fahai could only sigh.
Fahai seemed to have given up, and Zhuo Ao was also relieved, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness in the face of the kind of monk who overturned the river and the sea. But his ambition is to be a security hall owner. didn't ask for more, more beautiful and extravagant to become an immortal, that was too far away for him, he just wanted to accompany his wife until the end of his life.
Life without Fahai bothering. Naturally warm and happy, two months later, Zhuo Ao found that Bai Suzhen's body seemed to be a little wrong, often nauseous and retching, and hurriedly called her to check her pulse.
"Official?" Bai Suzhen looked at Zhuo Ao with a sluggish face a little shyly. Screamed softly.
"Lady, when will you ......" Zhuo Ao said with some trembling.
He knew that his wife was a member of the Xuanmen, and it was impossible for him not to notice this kind of thing.
"It's been a month." Bai Suzhen (Xiao Zhao) said a little shyly.
"A month? In other words, in nine months, I will be a father? Zhuo Ao asked in surprise.
Bai Suzhen nodded shyly.
"Great! Ha ha. ”
In the following time, Bai Suzhen naturally became the baby of the family, and it happened that Xu Xian's sister was pregnant almost at the same time, and her brother-in-law Li Gongfu was also a member of the Yamen.
Pregnant in October, after September, Bai Suzhen and her sister gave birth at the same time, gave birth to a baby boy, named Shilin, and her sister also gave birth to a baby girl.
"Brother-in-law, what should I do?" Xiaoqing anxiously wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Zhuo Ao, if it was in the past, Xiaoqing would naturally not care about Zhuo Ao, but since Zhuo Ao took on the case of the theft of the treasury silver without complaint, Xiaoqing's impression of this brother-in-law has also changed a little, although he is still a little stupid, but at the critical moment, he looks like a man.
"Sister, help me take care of Shilin." Zhuo Ao did not answer, but handed over his newborn son to his sister.
"Hey, Hanwen, where are you going?" My sister asked anxiously.
"Go to Jinshan Temple and pick up my lady back! Xiaoqing, let's go. Zhuo Ao took a deep breath and took Xiaoqing with him, and he didn't use spells, because he knew that even if Xiaoqing used spells, he wouldn't be able to catch up with Fahai, and the two walked up to Jinshan Temple on foot.
"Donor, why are you obsessed?" On the Jinshan Temple, Fahai led the monks of the whole temple and stopped Zhuo Ao and Xiaoqing.
Zhuo Ao stopped Xiaoqing, who was about to make a move, looked at Fahai and said, "Monk, let me ask you, did my lady kill people?" ”
"Never." Fahai said indifferently: "Bai Suzhen not only has never done anything that hurts heaven and reason, but also saving the people, which is also a meritorious act. ”
"Is that harboring evil intentions, cholera world?" Zhuo Ao asked again.
"This ...... Naturally, there never was. Fahai shook his head again.
"Buddhism also says that it is better to demolish ten temples than to break a marriage, and the practice of the old monk seems to be contrary to the purpose of your Buddhism." Zhuo Ao looked at Fahai and said: "Don't do it, you Fahai is not a disciple of Buddhism at all, but under the guise of Buddhism, he specializes in the things of men and women who steal women, and I saw that my lady is beautiful, so I kidnapped you Jinshan Temple?" ”
"Amitabha, the donor said cautiously, mortal marriage has nothing to do with the old man, but the shemale has different paths, and the combination of the shemale is not tolerated by heaven, and the old man's move is for the heavens." Fahai said in a deep voice.
"For the heavens? Did Heaven tell you this? Zhuo Ao looked at Fahai.
"This ...... The old man is still shallow, and he has not yet been able to communicate with the Heavenly Dao. Hearing this, Fahai shook his head with a wry smile and said.
"Then how do you know that the combination of human and demon is not tolerated by heaven? Since Heaven does not allow it, then why didn't Heaven send down a thunderbolt to chop my husband and wife to death? Zhuo Ao asked.
"Hehe, I haven't seen you for a year. The donor's speech was amazing. Fahai was stunned, shook his head and sighed: "It seems that the donor really has a relationship with my Buddha, why should he be greedy for mortal dust anymore, it is better to take refuge in my Buddha." ”
"Destroying people's marriages, and then forcibly converting people, is this how Shakyamuni developed Buddhism? No wonder Buddhist incense is so flourishing. It's really impressive. Zhuo Ao looked up to the sky and sneered.
"Amitabha, the donor said cautiously, the donor has no heart to take refuge, and the old man will naturally not force it, but Jinshan Temple is a quiet place for Buddhism, and the donor came today with anger, and brought a monster, forgive me for the inconvenience of Jinshan Temple." Fahai clasped his hands together.
"Well, I don't want to stay here for long. Let my lady go, we will leave immediately, and we will never disturb the purity of Buddhism. Zhuo Ao said very cheerfully.
"Amitabha, Bai Suzhen is greedy for mortal dust, destined to have this catastrophe, has been cleared into Leifeng Pagoda by the old man with Buddhism, if it is not the water of West Lake, Leifeng Pagoda cannot come out." Fahai said calmly.
"You old bald donkey. It's clearly making things difficult for us, if you don't let my sister go today. I'll flood your Jinshan Temple again! Xiaoqing said angrily.
"Evil animal, the old man thinks that it is not easy for you to practice, let you live, if you dare to speak wildly, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!" Fahai snorted and proclaimed a Buddha name.
"Qing'er. Retire. Zhuo Ao waved his hand, asked Ren Tingting to step back, looked at Fahai and said, "It seems that no matter how much I beg you today, you will not reunite my husband and wife." Let my wife come back. ”
Fahai shook his head and said: "The sea of bitterness is endless, and turning back is the shore, why is the donor obsessed?" ”
"Okay." Zhuo Ao nodded: "Today, I Xu Xian is incompetent and can't save my wife, but I want to see me for the last time." ”
"Amitabha, Bai Suzhen has been imprisoned in Leifeng Pagoda ......"
"Then take me to Leifeng Tower!" Zhuo Ao looked at Fahai and interrupted him rudely.
Behind him, Xiaoqing looked at Zhuo Ao suspiciously, is this still the kind, kind, and somewhat stupid brother-in-law on weekdays? It's like a different person.
Fahai looked at Xu Xian, and the momentum exuded from the other party's body at that moment actually made him feel a sense of shock, this Ziguo is very human.
"Okay, the old man is open, but Leifeng Pagoda is ......"
"Lead the way."
The corners of the mouths of the surrounding group of monks twitched, it was the first time in so many years that they had seen such a kind of person, at this moment, Fahai seemed to have become a little guy who led the way.
Zhuo Ao silently followed Fahai to the outside of Leifeng Tower, looked at this towering Leifeng Pagoda, sighed in his heart, and walked straight to the door of Leifeng Tower, and sure enough, as Fahai said, an invisible force turned him away.
"Lady, can you hear me?" Zhuo Ao sat down and spoke.
"Official!" The White Lady was in the Leifeng Tower, and she could hear it clearly, but her voice was bound by the Leifeng Tower's formation and could not be transmitted.
"It's good to hear it, or if you can't hear it, I'm an immortal, a mortal man, to be able to marry a fairy-like wife like a lady, not only a blessing from hundreds of generations of cultivation, perhaps, even the heavens are jealous, and give us such a calamity, you and I know each other to know and love, and then get married and have children, do the math, it's been four years, to be able to get a fairy like Niangzi, even if it's only four years, for me as a mortal, it should be content."
Zhuo Ao sighed, and his gaze became firm again: "But your father-in-law is good at everything, but there are some greedy problems, four years is too short, so I don't want to accept my fate, let alone accept my fate." ”
"I know, the lady must not want me to take risks, but even if the lady you cultivate high, remember to me, I, Xu Xian, am the head of the family, and everyone should listen to me for big things!"
Zhuo Ao stood up slowly, his waist was also straight, straighter than ever, looked at the gate of Leifeng Pagoda and said slowly: "Although for a fairy figure like Master Fahai, I am an ant, but my ant is just not self-sufficient, I want to see if I really can't shake a big tree like Master Fahai, you know, he said that he wants me to dry the water of West Lake, how is it possible, although your father-in-law is not smart, but he is not stupid, wait for me, as long as Xu Hanwen is alive for a day, he will use my method to rescue you." , if it doesn't work for a day, it will be a year, and if it doesn't work for ten years, a drop of water can also pierce the stone, I don't believe that even my own lady can't be saved. ”
"Wait for me!"
"Official, I'll wait for you!" In the Leifeng Tower, Bai Suzhen, who had already cried into tears, silently 'watched' Zhuo Ao's departing back, only feeling that her heart was about to melt. (To be continued.) )
