Chapter 3: The Goddess of Phaselessness
Yuegu in Lingxian County, every fifteenth day of the first month, there are good men and women who come here to burn incense and pray, so there are often temple fairs, the simple and elegant streets and alleys are constantly heard from the hawkers' shouts, all kinds of novel small objects on the bunks are full of exquisiteness, staring at the big eyes and shouting happily: "Master, Master, come and see!" ”
"What did the second lady fall into?" The answer was the accompanying maid Wen Xiang.
When I turned around, I remembered that I had already said goodbye to my master and left, and my heart was empty again.
The days of practicing in the mountains are very boring, so from time to time I will go down the mountain with the master to play, find some novel small objects to fiddle with, watch juggling, eat tea and listen to operas in the teahouse, and my favorite thing is to go to the temple fair to find some crazy men and women, and match a few pairs of happy enemies according to the words I heard.
"The girl is the life of the Vermilion Bird, which is the life of wealth and wealth, but the pillar of time is Ding, and she folds her wings for the Vermilion Bird, and she is only afraid of ......"
When Su Jiu heard this, he saw a white-faced and beautiful Mr. Yin and Yang under the old tree at the entrance of the temple holding his long beard and saying to the girl in red in front of him with a dignified face.
Hehe, I laughed in my heart, if the master was here, he would definitely play tricks on this Mr. Huang Liu!
Unconsciously walked to the front of the inn, the wine flag in front of the inn was displayed, and the four words Hongtu Inn were written on the plaque.
There were groups of girls standing at the door, looking in from time to time, and then hiding their faces in shame.
couldn't help but be curious, Su Jiu instructed the maid: "It's almost dusk, let's rest here." ”
"Yes." The maid turned around and did some luggage with the group.
Su Jiu walked through the women alone and stepped into the inn.
The simple guest hall is staggered with tables and chairs, and the small place is not too big to see the son in the doorless private room at a glance, with black hair and hosta, eyebrows flying obliquely into the sideburns, the bridge of the nose is handsome, the clothes are blue, sitting leisurely alone, the fingers with distinct bones are gently pinching the cups, pouring themselves and drinking, and the temperament of the whole body is dull and self-desplendid.
No wonder the women outside the door refuse to leave, this kind of celestial person is naturally not seen by the women of the county, but Su Jiu, who is the daughter of a powerful minister, has seen it, and she is quite familiar.
When he landed, his eyebrows were shining, and he rushed over
"The wind... Don't be a brother! Wu Zi sat across from the boy and summoned him.
was frightened by the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, and the hand that Candlelight drew the knife was pressed back by his master
Buqi stared at the person in front of him, Tao Li's pretty face was a little immature, and his eyes were very clear, like a child. The facial features are very similar to a certain person.
"Second Miss Jiang Fu?"
Listening to his master's words, Candle Zhao was surprised in his heart, this babbling girl could be the second miss of Jiang Fu, the prime minister of the dynasty?
The girl on the opposite side nodded and said happily
"Ha, I haven't seen you here for three years! It's just that you're about to get married, aren't you? How could it be in this mausoleum thousands of miles away? ”
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have heard of it, he didn't intend to answer this question at all, and then asked with a narrow face: "Isn't it, escape... ”
"Why are you here?" Before the meeting, Miss Nazi didn't look at her face at all, and Feng Buqi had to try to divert the topic.
"I've been practicing in Nanli Mountain for the past three years!" The conversation box that was diverted from the topic Hao didn't know how to continue to speak
"I was born with a deficiency, and all the imperial doctors and world doctors all asserted that I would not live until 16, so my mother went to ask the national teacher to find a way to crack it, and the national teacher asked my mother to take me to this southern mountain.
When I arrived at Nanli Mountain, I searched for half a month before I found the Baibi Temple that the national teacher said. There was a plain aunt in the temple, who was still beautiful despite the scars on her face, but this aunt said that she was not the person I was looking for, and that she was just a believer, and that she meditated here in order to repay her kindness, and then she ignored our mother and daughter, as if no one was there. ”
Su Jiu, who had been talking for a long time, took a cup and poured tea by himself, took a sip, and continued
"But my mother didn't give up, thinking that this aunt must be so angry that she refused to save her, so she stayed in the temple with me and meditated with her, so that she could perceive my sincerity. Since my mother's body and bones were not very good, I asked her to go back, and I waited at the temple, thinking that there were still three years left to die. ”
Su Jiu propped his little head with one hand and told about this not-so-distant memory
The wind in the other seat only listened quietly and did not respond.
"So I waited alone in the stone hall for a year, and my aunt never said a word to me, but only cleaned the temple every day, and worshiped the statue of the goddess in the temple, until one afternoon in the late spring of the second year, I lay down on the desk in front of the temple as usual, and took a nap in the confusion, and saw a girl in a daze, so I rubbed my eyes, and saw that the girl was about the same age as me, and felt that she must be a poor worm with the same life as me, and came here to wait for an unknown fate.
Before I could ask in detail, my aunt came to give her a big gift, and I was puzzled at the moment, but the girl called me as an apprentice, saying that she was the one I was waiting for, and I refused to believe it, but she was not annoyed, and took out a medical book out of thin air and gave it to me, and told me to practice this art of helping the world from this day on. ”
"Hands-free! Out of thin air! Speaking of excitement, Su Jiu did not hide his complacency, emphasizing loudly while gesturing with both hands, attracting the attention of the guests.
Looking at Su Jiu who was dancing, the master and the servant on the opposite side only felt funny. Recalling the back of the green flute woman in Nanli Mountain, Feng Buqi interjected
"What is your master like?"
"Hey! My master, she looks ....... She...... She....... Odd...... Why can't I remember the appearance of the master, but I only remember that I am the same as the statue of the goddess without a face.......
"None.... No phase... The statue is fine, if it is a real person...... It's weird, isn't it? The candle on the side shuddered.
“.... It must be Master's medicine ....." Su Jiu lowered his head and muttered to himself.
