Chapter 3: The fairy tests the warmth of the world for the first time

Let's say that it is still at the beginning of the wasteland, and the popularity of the Daoist is the best among the disciples of Hongjun Ancestor. He devoted himself to his studies and had a lot of skills. Later, in the Dharma Cave to practice into the body of the six zhang Vajra, at that time, in view of the scale of human beings, so the establishment of Buddhism, the collection of disciples, preaching, the promotion of Buddhism, the Buddha of the Buddha, the creation of a very deep, was respected as the holy Buddha. Since then, Buddhism has grown rapidly, and its disciples have spread all over the world. Nowadays, in the West, shrines are set up, preaching and preaching, and Bounsted and anointed everywhere - this place has become a place of pilgrimage for people for a while. People all over the world, especially Buddhist disciples, often go west to worship and pray for blessings. This is the place where Xuanzang's master and apprentice in the Tang Dynasty later learned the scriptures-

On this day, the sky is clear, the red clouds are open, the sun is shining, the auspicious clouds in the sky are ethereal, and there is a breeze caressing from time to time. The altar is full of golden light - from time to time, the Buddha ascends to the throne - but when I see that the Buddha is more than six feet tall, the golden glow is bright, the big ears are up to the shoulders, the hair is like a fine chrysanthemum, the face is charitable, the hands are like a big bucket, the swaying is like a diamond iron casting, the vast is like a light air around the body, the light is shining, it is really wonderful, it is impossible to figure it out - and then look at the two sides of the hand, there are many immortals, and the wind is awe-inspiring. On the left side, there are the first true god of asceticism, the first true god of asceticism, the first true god of mantra, the first true god of wisdom, Sariputta, and the ten disciples of the true god of liberation, such as the ten disciples of the true god of liberation. On the right is the Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun of the Yunxiao Cave of Yulong Mountain, the Fuxian Zhenren of the White Crane Cave of Jiugong Mountain, the Cihang Taoist of the Luojia Cave of Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea - that is, the Guanyin Master and the eight great bodhisattvas such as Jizo, Maitreya, Void Zang, Vajrapani, and Removing Obstacles. Everyone holds a Dharma instrument in their hands - there are countless Buddhist children kneeling and worshipping below. His worship was in an uproar. From time to time, I only listened to the Buddha's loud voice and recited: "My Buddha is compassionate and takes it as my responsibility to purify all living beings in the world - but the atmosphere is light, the magnificence is infinite, and within the universe, my body is temporarily stored, and it is clear from the macro." Buddhism is boundless, the degree of practice is limited, and the road is not questioned, regardless of bitterness and sweetness. Lost mulberry elm, harvested east. Sex is stopped, and the body is like a borrowed thing. If the soul and the spirit are attached, they can lead to heaven; The quality is natural, and it can reach the ground rail. Yin and yang are wrong, and they are paradoxical. The elephant of the great sound, sent to nothingness. After the catastrophe, every inch will last forever. The Dharma is invisible, the truth is sound—all of these are all-encompassing, and they need to be carefully savored by each family. "The Buddha's voice roared, but it was clear and variable, the sound was in the ears, and the whole was smooth after listening, like an initiation. The disciples below bowed their respects.

At this time, a long crane was suddenly heard. Everyone looked for prestige, only to see that above the altar, Taishang Laojun was hovering with a crane. The Buddha smiled: "My Buddha is fateful, and it just so happens that my senior brother is here, why don't you descend and preach the scriptures for us!" The old gentleman did not fall behind: "Senior brother, please, I have something to do today." Then I heard the crane chirp again. The Buddha said: "Senior brother is polite, please give an edict!" Lao Jun said: "As far as you and I are concerned, the Buddha and the Tao family, although the Buddha is widely distributed, there are also many Taoist students and practitioners of various sects. All parties heard about the altar of the disciple and had the intention of pilgrimage. I don't know if the junior and younger brothers can open the door of Buddhism and allow hundreds of families to come here for a gathering. First, it can also let all parties see the true face of your King Kong, and secondly, it can also give all parties an opportunity to gather and communicate. I don't know what the junior brother thinks? The Buddha smiled and said: "Senior brother is worthy of the immortal family, if you give the next opportunity, it is really a great luck for my Buddhism, we dare not do our best, carefully prepare, wait for each family to come to the exchange, glory my Buddhist lintel, very fortunate, very lucky!" Dare to ask when and when is the senior brother? After hearing this, Lao Jun thought for a while and replied, "How about the ninth day of the next month?" Rulai replied with a smile: "It's all up to the senior brother to decide." Lao Jun: "Good, good!" "Ride the crane away.

At this time, the Buddha's eyes were like torches at this time, and he looked around: "On the ninth day of the next month, it is a major event of my Buddhism, and the four holy parties will come here to gather, and we must do a good job as the landlord." Then he ordered the ten disciples to prepare separately, so there was no need to elaborate.

The Zhuzhu fairy refused the Buddha's revelation: threw the amnesia elixir of Fuxian Zhenren into the spiritual river. The lotus fairy sighed with emotion: "Sister Jiangzhu, I really can't say whether you are right or wrong to do this, sister, it is not easy for you to cultivate such an immortal path, but you have violated the Buddha's decree, and sooner or later you will be punished-but-" Lotus thought thoughtfully: "If you eat that elixir, you will break your promise and the Shenying waiter, cough-" Lotus looked embarrassed.

Fairy Zhuzhu didn't think so, she carefully observed the lotus at this time: black hair like brocade, eyebrows like two daisies, eyes like a phoenix, white and pink, just like the color of a lotus, small mouth like a purse, tall figure, pink and green skirt - lotus saw Jiangzhu look at herself like this, embarrassed: "Sister, what are you looking at?" The fairy snorted and laughed uncontrollably: "Lotus—lotus—" The fairy laughed speechlessly. The lotus who provoked also laughed out loud: "Sister Xiaocao, you, what are you laughing at?" This is-" After laughing for a while, Jiang Zhu straightened up: "Sister Lotus, do you know how good-looking you are?" Yes? The lotus flower became more and more embarrassed: "Oops! What to say! I have to go. "Pretend to walk towards the door. Xiaocao hurriedly stopped: "Sister Lotus, if I were a man, I would definitely marry you!" Quack quack - "The lotus patted the grass, "Say about you, don't talk about me yet!" ”

Only then did the Zhuzhu Fairy restrain her smile and said, "Lotus, you said that if it were you, what would you do?" Lotus: "Me! I, if I were - oops! I don't know! "Okay, if you don't know, you know very well, you've already told me the answer." "Jiangzhu's heart is like weak water at this time. She gently leaned on the lotus shoulder, and tears seemed to flow out of her eyes: "I can't live up to him, I have to choose this way." Lotus, one day, if we are separated, will you miss me? Lotus: "We won't be separated, I'll go wherever my sister goes." Lotus's eyes were also full of tears. Lotus: "Sister Xiaocao, why are you so sad!" Someone asked you out, you should be happy! I don't have anyone to ask for yet. Jiangzhu: "Dead girl, do you want someone to make an appointment?" What about the old tree father-in-law on the mountain? Or I'll ask him to ask you out!" Lotus: "No." "While chasing and beating Zhuzhu. Jiangzhu: "Sister Lotus, this depends on fate, if there is fate, you will be asked sooner or later, ah!" Don't worry! Lotus: "Then where is my fate?" When are you coming? Jiangzhu laughed: "Okay, girl, you're really in a hurry-quack!" Lotus: "Hey, sister, why don't we go out and play?" Fairy Zhu: "Where are you going?" There is not even a little demon within a hundred miles. Lotus: "Let's have fun, look at the scenery!" Jiangzhu: "I think you have moved your mortal heart, right?" You have to be careful! The lotus tugged on the grass arm and begged: "Let's go, let's go play!" Ah, good sister" Jiang Zhu had no choice: "Okay, okay, I'm bored anyway, I can go wherever you say." The lotus flower of Le jumped and clapped her hands: "Hello sister, good sister - let's go!" ”

The two immortals flew up, a pair of pretty sisters, holding hands, and flew away into the distance-

The Shenying attendant turned into a stone, made up for the sky, and was abandoned in the nonsensical cliff of the Qinggeng Peak of the Great Wilderness Mountain, feeling sorry for himself. Fortunately, the ancestor of Bodhi passed through the Great Wilderness Mountain, and was moved by his fossils to mend the sky, turned into jade, applied immortal energy, and criticized the Buddha's language. The stone has not only become a treasure jade, but also self-cultivation and self-practice on the edge of the cliff, and after a long time, it has also achieved a small result: it can already be transformed into the original body. It's just a change in attire. Because it is the embodiment of beautiful jade, it naturally achieves a good skin: it is really like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the color is like the flower of spring dawn, the sideburns are like a knife, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, the face is like peach petals, and the eyes are like autumn waves. Wearing a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair, the eyebrows and two dragons grabbing pearls and gold wiping their foreheads; Wear a two-color gold butterfly wearing flower red arrow sleeves, tied with colorful silk and flower knots, long spike palace silk, covered with stone blue flowers and eight groups of satin tassel gowns, and a pair of blue satin foundation boots. A piece of jade is tied around his waist. Yikes! Readers and friends are surprised: Isn't this Jia Baoyu? Huixin readers, you really guess that Jia Baoyu is the incarnation of this stone in later generations, but they have similarities.

On that day, the foolish Taoist came to the cliff of nonsense and took down the Buddha's criticism. He said to the stone, "Thanks to the Bodhi Master, now that you have also attained cultivation, why don't you give up that vanity and still think about making an appointment with that little grass." You know that the glory of the mortal world is ethereal, why not devote yourself to the Buddha in order to survive? The stone turned into a human form: "Master Mo persuasion, I think I used to be in that Chixia Cave, hard years, talking to the stone wall all day long, without a living soul to accompany me, fortunately there is that little grass is understanding, can understand me, not only listen to me, but also dance to me." We have made an appointment, and in the next life, we will be human beings in the lower realm, be husband and wife, be friends, do anything, as long as we are together. I can't break the contract. Foolishness: "You stubborn stone, you don't listen to persuasion!" That little grass has been cultivated into an immortal, she will never meet you, you are a stupid maniac, you can't be taught! Stone: "Master is not strange, people have their own ambitions, immortals have their own ways, you just have to cultivate yourself, don't meddle in things!" "Look at this stone, and say it to this point, it's really hard to change. But when you think about it, it's not unreasonable. The eyes of a fool were so angry that they put a green light: "Stubborn stone!" If you don't recite the Buddha's instructions from Master Bodhi, I will punish you for facing the wall! You do it yourself, if something happens, I will restrain you! With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

This stone has undergone changes through wind and rain, and it is indeed realized that it has penetrated things, and I wonder what about the cultivation of immortals? If I don't fix it, will I take care of it for you? I'm willing, I'm willing. I feel happier when I think about it. He babbled and sang: The jade is flawless, and the feathers are priceless. The grass is green, and it is beautiful with me. Looking at Fangchuan, where is home. If you get Qingqing, I will volatilize! While singing, I have already reached the peak. As soon as the cold wind blew, I suddenly felt a burst of refreshment. The stone is condescending, looking at the smoke in the distance, the clouds rising, the scenery is quiet and beautiful. The stone stretched out his arms, as if he wanted to hug Hongyu, and shouted: "The grass is green, accompany me to be beautiful." "The layers of mountains echoed: Fanghua - Hua - Hua - Hua - Hua -

Besides, the two fairies of the pearl lotus flower, turned into a village girl, came to a town to play, and all kinds of small shops on the street were fun. Look at this, touch that, it's not a novelty. They were pestered by a windmill vendor who insisted on them buying one. Peddler: "Two girls, let's make it small, buy one, I haven't sold one this afternoon, I can't eat lunch, buy one, girl, just buy one." The two had no choice but to agree. Lotus: "Okay, buy, buy, buy, can't you buy!" As he spoke, he picked the best one and picked it up and left. Vendor: "Girl, you haven't paid yet!" At this time, Jiangzhu grabbed the lotus flower and whispered: "This is going to give money!" Lotus was stunned: "Money, no!" Jiangzhu: "You don't take other people's things!" "I don't know what to do. Suddenly, there was a lot of noise and a commotion on the other side of the street, and they fled in all directions. The windmill vendor hurriedly put away his stalls: "Yes, sister, I don't want any money, you can take it and play." After saying that, he ran away.

When the two immortals looked at it, there were already two black men on horseback, followed by more than a dozen people in short coats, and those in short coats either beat and scolded the pedestrians on the street, and grabbed the good things they sold for themselves. For a while, people on the street turned on their backs, and the chaos was abnormal. The people on the street are almost running. Xiaocao and Lotus didn't know what was going on, so they naturally stood there and watched the excitement. The two big black men rode to the two immortals, dismounted and looked at the two immortals, and one of the men shouted: "Ah! Yikes! I haven't seen it! Good looking, good looking! Where did it come from, ah! Big brother, this, is this a fairy! Yes! Eldest brother! This—you see—" Another big man, stabbing his turban with a horsewhip, spat on the ground: "Damn, it's true! Ay! What is it called? Big brother, I have money and food, come with me! Be a second lady for me, and let you eat and drink spicy food, how about it? The black man who spoke first: "Hey! Big brother, look-this, give me one! "Go, go, go! Let's go! As he spoke, he went to pull the beads and lotus flowers. The two immortals dodged on the spot, but the man couldn't drag it. I grabbed it again, but I still couldn't even touch my clothes. The man was anxious: "Oops! I don't believe it! I can't catch you—you—don't run! Come on—still run, don't run—little lady, hey! Yes, it's better to be good, don't run - hey! You run—" The man was anxious and tired, and sweaty. Another black man came over: "Big brother, let me come!" This black man was also busy in vain, "Big brother, let the brothers arrest them!" The black-headed man was still panting: "Yes, yes, brothers, arrest me!" "The dozen or so short-clothed men flocked up to catch the beads and lotus flowers.

The two immortals are not familiar with all things in the world, and the lotus flower has to be reasonable, "Hey! We didn't provoke you, you-" Before the words were finished, these people had already called, and of course these people were not under the words of the two immortals: the two immortals lightly used the small law, and those short-clothed minions had already rolled on the ground, not knowing the direction. When the two black men saw that their minions were invincible, they got off their horses and lowered their swords and rushed over. The two fairies flew up, stepped on the eaves, and lightly applied the small method, and the two black-faced men lay on the ground and couldn't move, their mouths and noses were full of mud and sand, and they couldn't breathe. At this time, the villagers who were hiding behind the alley wall and peeking gradually came out to watch and shouted loudly. One of them shouted, "Girl! Ask him if he dares to come and grab something?! Before the second fairy could ask, the villain said, "Don't dare—don't dare!" Someone else shouted: "These two girls are the newly married daughters-in-law of our village!" If you don't leave here, see if you dare? Don't get out of here! Before the shouts fell, the gangsters had already fled as if they were dead.

The people of the village gathered around and thanked the two fairies. Jiangzhu asked an old woman: the mother-in-law said: "This gang of gangsters lives in the back mountains, and they often kill people and steal goods, rob property, and even rob good-looking girls." They didn't have much ability, but they heard that there was a Dao Immortal who supported them, so no one dared to mess with them. Last year, there was a young man from another village who led more than a dozen villagers to save his newlywed daughter-in-law, that young man was a hunting hero, and he had some skills, but the Taoist didn't know what spell he used, and he gouged out everyone's eyes, sealed their ears, couldn't hear and hear, and became a wasted person, it was better to be killed, oops! It's miserable! ”

The lotus was angry, and just wanted to speak, but the mother-in-law said again: "Two girls, I don't know if there are any people, if not, there are two good young men in my village, how about you two marrying them, with you here, those gangsters will not dare to come." Yes? When the second fairy heard this, she was a little embarrassed, and she said: "Mother-in-law, we are both strangers, and we have to rush home to go to our relatives passing here, otherwise our parents will be worried." The mother-in-law shook her head and sighed.

At this time, the peddler who bought the windmill came out of the crowd and wiped his face with a towel: "Hey, the two little sisters really don't leave, I'm twenty years old, and I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, so it's better for the two of you to marry me, I promise to keep you at home and not let you work, so that you can enjoy happiness." Let you sleep until the sun is higher than the mountain in the morning, and I sleep on the kang at night, isn't this still possible! The crowd burst into laughter. The lotus flower was so ashamed that she hid her face and smiled, looking through the eyes of the peddler. I saw that the peddler was full of childishness, and his face was quite delicate. It's just that his face is a little darkened by the sun. Jiangzhu: "Don't worry, we will help you get rid of that gang." It's just—" The mother-in-law seemed to see the fairy's thoughts, and stepped forward and said, "I will live in my house tonight, only a little granddaughter of my family lives with me, and the two girls can go to live, which is very convenient." The girl said that I know where your family lives, and we will send someone to your house to inform you, and the province is worried. When the gangsters are defeated, all of our villagers will beat gongs and drums to send each other off. Fairy Zhu: "Mother-in-law, don't be so troublesome, we will stay here for another night." When the villagers heard this, they cheered and were very happy. I saw that the peddler jumped for joy. Seeing the lotus looking at him, he became shy and hurriedly dodged, but he couldn't help but peek at the two eyes. provoked the lotus flower to laugh secretly.

The two fairies of the pearl and lotus came to her house with the mother-in-law. My mother-in-law's house was originally a two-room hut, surrounded by green bamboo and tree trunks, and covered with a layer of mud. The top is supported by bamboo poles and covered with a layer of thatch. The inside is also very simple: there are two rooms, each with a straw bed that can sleep for two people, and the outer room is slightly larger, with a pot stove, and a wooden table with eight immortals, and a mud pot on the table, which is poorly furnished, and that's it. Of course, those years can't be compared with the present—

The lotus went to the inner room first, and lay on the grass bed, rolling back and forth, and enjoyed it very much. Xiaocao is diligent and helps her mother-in-law clean and wipe. At this time, the mother-in-law's little granddaughter came back from playing outside, and saw that there were two sisters at home, hiding behind the door and secretly looking at it and not daring to come out. Jiangzhu pulled the little girl and accosted her: "Little sister, what's your name?" The little girl said coquettishly, "My name is Xiaozhu." "How old are you?" "Zhu'er is five years old this year." Seeing that Xiaozhu was wearing a thin cyan shirt, Xiaocao not only asked, "Is Xiaozhu cold!" As he spoke, he stroked Xiaozhu's little head with two small pigtails. Bamboo is not cold. At this time, the lotus suddenly came out of the inner room and immediately grabbed Xiaozhu: "Xiaozhu, right, is it okay to play with my sister!" Without waiting for Xiaozhu to speak, he had already dragged Xiaozhu outside to play.

In the evening, my mother-in-law cooked sweet potatoes and broad beans to entertain the two fairies. Xiaozhu uses a bamboo tray to bring some wild fruits. The lotus flower did not wait for humility, and picked up one casually and ate it, only to see her mouth half open, her hands covering her cheeks, and her mouth screamed: It turns out that the fruit is extremely sour, and it is sour like this. made Xiaozhu laugh. The mother-in-law is even more warm and caring for the two fairies. The two fairies felt very warm and homely. The second fairy was so moved that he almost shed tears.

Look at how late it is. Zhu'er was already sleeping in her mother-in-law's arms. The mother-in-law put Zhu'er on the outer bed, covered the single quilt, and came to the inner room to talk to the two immortals. The mother-in-law asked, "Where are the two girls from and where do they live, can you tell me?" Lotus just wanted to answer, but heard Xiaocao say: "My two sisters, our family lives on the bank of the Tongling River not far from here, and I went to visit my uncle in the neighboring village the day before yesterday. "Ah, that's so—how can your girl's family have such skills?" Xiaocao replied: "My father used to learn martial arts, and he taught us a few times casually, that's all." "The lotus flower is straight-haired, look at the grass, look at the mother-in-law, I don't know what to say. The mother-in-law asked again, "How old is the girl?" This time, the lotus flower grabbed quickly: "Mother-in-law, I already have-about six or seven hundred years old-"

The mother-in-law was taken aback and was stunned for a long time: "This girl, pure nonsense, where is there such a big life - listen to my mother-in-law tell you: In the future, someone will ask you how old you are, but you can't answer like this, people will treat you as stupid and can't find your mother-in-law's house." Besides, it's not an old monster at such an old age, it's a curse. Listen up? The lotus said, "Old woman, I am amable to see you and joke with you." I'm seventeen years old, and my sister is eighteen years old" When my mother-in-law heard this, she sat down in front of the lotus flower on the grass bed, stroked the lotus shoulders and hair with her hands, carefully examined the lotus flower, and then looked at the grass for a while: "Really handsome, better than the one painted by Li Laodao." The second fairy who said it was a little ashamed.

Xiaocao asked her mother-in-law: "Why are there only two people in my mother-in-law's house, you and Zhu'er?" What about Xiaozhu's parents" The mother-in-law sighed when she heard this, and told the two immortals about the family: it turned out that the mother-in-law's husband's surname was Tong, and he died of illness at an early age. My mother-in-law had a son named Tongli. Take a daughter-in-law named Xiaocui, give birth to a girl is Zhu'er, the young couple work for the rich family all the year round, and can only come back again at the end of the year, take some small money, and support the grandchildren. The mother-in-law said that her son came back with a letter some time ago, saying that her daughter-in-law Xiaocui was pregnant again, and maybe she would be able to report her eldest grandson back at the end of the year. The mother-in-law said this, with a happy face. Yes, the cycle of time is amazing. It is said that the workers in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are the descendants of this family.

After a night without words, in the morning, my mother-in-law got up early to prepare breakfast: it was still sweet potatoes and broad beans. Before Zhu'er got up, she heard someone call for the door. The mother-in-law opened the door, but there was a vendor selling windmills yesterday, carrying a cloth bag in his hand. Mother-in-law: "Komatsu, come in!" In. "The second fairy is helping her mother-in-law prepare breakfast. Seeing that it was a vendor, Lotus glanced at it and pursed her lips and smiled. The peddler looked at the lotus flowers for a while, then at the grass, and said to his mother-in-law, "I will bring some corn and cook it for the two girls to eat, and if the evil man comes, I will have the strength to beat him." After speaking, he looked at the lotus flower. At this time, Xiaocao saw some clues: "Sister, the person who asked you is here, you still don't say hello!" Lotus was ashamed, glanced back at the vendor, but entered the room. The mother-in-law also understood her intentions a little: "Songzi, come, have breakfast and then leave." "Matsuko was shy, where did he dare to come in, put down the cloth bag and ran away......
