Chapter 4 Nine Immortals Taoist Temple
There are three days left before the tea picking festival, Uncle Ji wants to send the new tea to the Jiutian Zhangren Temple to be selected, before leaving, Aunt Ji saw that I was sullen for a few days, so she told Uncle Ji to take me to the temple to go shopping and relax, I had no intention of going, I couldn't bear the Ji sisters blindly pouting next to me, so I had to cheer up and take Ming'er to follow Uncle Ji to deliver tea.
Before the morning fog lifted, we set off for the mountain. The green city in spring is becoming more and more verdant in the morning light. Birds frolic in the forest, accompanied by the rhododendrons that fill the mountains, and the sound is crisp. It has been past the afternoon to the Nine Heavens Zhangren Temple (also known as the Nine Immortals Temple). The Taoist temple stands on the waist of Zhangren Peak, surrounded by pine and cypress, built majestic and magnificent. In the view, there was a Taoist boy next to the Sanqing Hall to lead me to the back room. Uncle Ji was also familiar with the Taoist people in Guanzhong, so he served tea and chatted and rested in Guanzhong.
Because Ming'er and I came for the first time, Uncle Ji allowed us to walk around the temple and see the scenery in the mountains, but I didn't expect that the weather in the mountains was like a child's face, and it was just sunny and sunny, and for a while there were dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain. Ming'er and I couldn't avoid it for a while, we were both wet, and the rain kept falling, and it was getting late, so Uncle Ji discussed with the Taoist priest in Guanzhong to stay in Guanzhong that night.
I lived with Ming'er, because my hair was raining, Ming'er brought water to wash with me, and asked me to stand in front of the window to help dry it, and I was wiping only to hear a plop, but I saw a little Taoist priest kneeling in front of the window, trembling and shrinking and said: "Niangniang, Jin'an!" Mother, Jin An! "The head is pounded like pounding garlic.
Seeing this, I hurriedly asked, "Why did the Taoist chief say this, didn't he recognize the wrong person." ”
When the little Taoist priest heard me say this, he looked up at me tremblingly, but his body was still shaking badly. At this moment, I saw a stern shout behind me: "Xuanming, what are you doing?" Looking around, I saw a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a magic robe and looking strange.
The little Taoist priest was cut off by the sound, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and the middle-aged Taoist priest stepped forward to pull him up, and he also muttered to himself: "Master, Master, let's see if Zhang Niangniang's soul has come to the view?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at me in horror.
"The sky is blue, I don't work hard, I talk nonsense, and I don't want to go out quickly." The middle-aged Taoist priest was not angry and arrogant, and the little Taoist priest did not dare to delay when he heard this, so he ran out in a panic.
"Daoist ......" We wanted to ask out loud, but I saw the Taoist priest saluting and said: "The girl is guilty, my young fool recognized the wrong person, and I hope the girl will not be surprised." ”
"The Taoist is polite, people are similar, and it is reasonable to admit mistakes, but I just heard the little Taoist call me Niangniang, I don't know ......" Just because I came to this world, I was repeatedly recognized as wrong, first Baoyuan, and then this little Taoist, it seems that the middle-aged Taoist priest in front of me should know some details, so I couldn't help but ask.
The middle-aged Taoist priest raised his eyes and looked at me, his face was solemn, and he stopped talking, and said for a long time: "Originally, it was inconvenient for the girl to know about this matter, but the girl was suspicious and the poor Dao looked at the girl's face and seemed to have some relationship with these things, so I felt that it was inconvenient to hide it, but I also asked the girl to borrow a step to speak." ”
I heard that Ming'er asked Ming'er to help me wrap my head with a silk handkerchief, and went out to stand in the courtyard with the Taoist priest to talk, only to hear the Taoist priest whisper: "Today's holy concubine, Concubine Zhang Niangniang died in my Taoist temple, and the little Taoist priest recognized the girl as a mistake, also because the girl looked too much like the concubine Zhang Niangniang......
"Concubine Zhang Niangniang that the Taoist chief said, but Zhang Taihua?"
"The girl should not call the former princess by her name." The Taoist priest said in a very anxious tone, and said, "I don't know where the girl learned the name of Concubine Zhang?" ”
"Someone had mistaken me before, so I ...... "My heart sank, it turned out that Bao Yuan and I looked at Qingcheng Mountain in the racecourse that day, thinking of his deceased wife who died in the Taoist temple!"
"Oh, the girl doesn't know, this concubine Niangniang was buried in front of the poplar tree in front of the temple after her death, and when it comes to rainy weather, someone will see the woman wandering in front of the temple, so the little Taoist priest thinks that the girl is the soul of the concubine." The middle-aged Taoist priest lowered his voice and pleaded: "It's good that the girl knows about this matter alone, don't let it out, Poor Dao has thanked me here." "It's another salute.
I was about to return the salute, but I heard Uncle Ji shouting behind me: "Daochang Li, it turns out that you are here, let me find it." Saying that, he stepped forward and introduced to me that I knew that this middle-aged Taoist priest was Li Ruochong, the master of the Nine Immortals.
In the middle of the night, the rain had stopped, the mountain wind was howling, and I couldn't sleep. My mind was full of the frightened eyes of the little Taoist priest, as well as the words that Li Ruochong said to me, and then recalled the mournful expression of Baoyuan of Qingcheng Racecourse, and later when the Queen Mother first saw me, she also called me Taihua. It turns out that from beginning to end, I am just the shadow of Taihua, the more I think about it, the more angry I become, the more sad I become, I have been missing for four or five months, and he has not looked for me! That's it, I'm just a shadow of his dead wife, full of irritability, get up and go out to breathe.
There was a mist in the mountains, and the moonlight flickered in the mist, which made the shadows of the trees in the view more beautiful, and the courtyard was desolate and desolate.
"Hey...... Hey......" A woman's sigh came faintly, and it seemed to be louder than one. Isn't that Zhang Taihua? Curiosity drove me to courage and look for the sound. The poplar trees were scattered in the wind, and in the miserable moonlight, there was a woman in white faintly, but when I saw her bowing her eyebrows, she wandered under the tree and whispered resentfully:
"Lying alone in the autumn and falling sideburns, the poplar wind can't sleep.
Thinking about the past pepper room pets, tears wet the night placket damage Cuidian. ”
"Who!" I asked in a trembling voice.
I saw the woman slowly look back. Ah, it's really a ghost, I didn't want to be afraid, but at the moment I was terrified, and I hurriedly hid my face, if it was really a ghost, wouldn't it be terrifying to describe. I turned around and wanted to run, but I couldn't move.
"Sister, don't be afraid of me! I waited for you today. The faint voice floated in my ears, and there was a sense of unreality.
I made up my mind and peeked out. I saw a beautiful woman standing in the moonlight, with a slender body, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, but her face was as pale as paper, and she showed a sad color, and she wanted to cry.
I slowly lowered my sleeves, but my hands unconsciously clenched tightly in my sleeves, You Zi took a deep breath, and said fearlessly: "Who are you?" Why do you call me sister? ”
"Sister, don't be afraid, I am the first concubine of Baoyuan, Zhang Taihua." The female ghost turned around, walked slowly to the poplar tree, and helped the tree and said, "Two years ago, I accompanied the holy driver to visit Zhangren Peak and died of a thunderstorm. Buried under this poplar tree, he can't survive. At this point, I let out a long sigh that made me shiver all over.
"Why do you show up to be scary when you're dead?" I asked in a trembling voice.
"Unforgettable ......"
"Then why don't you go looking for him?"
"People and ghosts have different paths, not to mention that he is the Son of Heaven, and there is a Buddha hall in the palace, and the strong light of the Dharma Protector gods is shrouded, I don't dare to approach it at all." Zhang Taihua walked up to me with tears in his eyes.
"Sister, it's nice that you can be by his side, it's good, it's good......" She looked straight at me, and her empty eyes seemed to have two clusters of fire.
"I, I don't know what you're talking about......" I lowered my head and didn't want to look at her again, Bao Yuan, he is now separated from me forever.
"Sister, you know in your heart what I'm talking about, if you can, I'd rather exchange everything for my sister's fate with Baoyuan, if I can have one more day with him, I'd rather go to the eighteen layers of hell." Zhang Taihua said in a low voice, but those words made my heart uncomfortable for a while.
Since ancient times, women have been amorous, but Zhang Taihua in front of her would rather go to eighteen layers of hell in order to be able to stay with her lover for a day, I am not unmoved, but this emotion has risen sourly, and the tears in my eyes have washed out.
"I have come to see my sister today, just to ask you to accompany my poor husband well in the future, to relieve him of his troubles, and to make him happy."
"I ......" Why did she say this to me, Bao Yuan and I should no longer have any intersection.
"Sister, I know what you think, but you have to believe that 'everything is fate, and nothing is up to anyone.'" You and Bao Yuan are destined to be together. Zhang Taihua muttered, and the slender white figure floated in front of my eyes.
I didn't believe it in my heart, but I heard her say: "Taihua still has a wish to entrust to my sister." I had a son before my death, named Xuanzhe, and now he is still young, if his sister enters the palace in the future, he hopes that his sister will take pity on the child. ”
Seeing that I was silent, she was a little anxious, and said: "Sister, marriage is determined, not human can resist, how will my sister know in the future, you promise me quickly, the day is about to dawn, otherwise I will ...... I ......" said and bowed deeply to me.
I looked at Zhang Taihua in front of me stupidly, and I didn't know what it was like, so I had to nod blankly. When she saw that I agreed, she gave me a pleasant smile, and her figure gradually blurred into the morning mist.
"Girl, girl! How did the girl sleep under this poplar tree last night? "Xiaodao Xuanming woke me up.
I looked around in a daze, and saw that the sky had turned white. Thinking about it last night, I only felt that I was still in a dream, but when I got up, I didn't want my palm to be pierced by a sharp object, and when I looked down, it was a jade flower. At this point, we believe that we did see Zhang Taihua's ghost last night.
I got up and returned to the view, asked Xuan Ming to invite Li Daochang to come, and told him a little about Concubine Zhang's visit last night. After listening to this, he shook his head and sighed: "The capital is life and death, wealth is in the sky, but I didn't expect that Concubine Zhang to be so infatuated, it stands to reason that she should have entered reincarnation forty-nine days after her death, but I don't want her to be a ghoul under the poplar tree for two years for a love word, and today listening to what the girl said, I am afraid that she is still obsessed, and it is difficult to be liberated." People, a love word, really hurts people. "Then get up and take your leave, and tell me not to tell anyone about it. I read that Zhang Taihua was very pitiful in the ghost road, and asked Li Ruochong to do things for her, and there was nothing else to say from then on.
Uncle Ji had to stay in the temple for a long time because of the tea selection, and I couldn't calm down for a long time because of what Zhang Taihua said last night, so I found an excuse to take Ming'er to Qingcheng Mountain for a walk. The stone path is covered with moss, the green pines are in the clouds, I help Ming'er to walk slowly to the mountain, but to a small pavilion but see a wide line of sight, looking at the green grassland stretching to the sky, as if Bao Yuan took me to ride a horse in the first place. Looking at the old place, I was full of sorrow in my heart, and I was in a daze, but I heard Ming'er call me, "Sister, look, Cui Hong." ”
Looking up, I saw a man and a woman walking from the mountain, the two looked intimate, the man was holding the woman's waist, whispering in her ear, I don't know what to say, the woman blushed and pursed her lips and smiled. Look closely, if that woman is not Cui Hong, who is it? She is the daughter of the Liu family, the owner of the tea plantation, who is close to the Ji family. I have seen this emerald girl a few times, I heard Ying'er say that she is a girl who has been picked by several people in ten miles and eight towns in this tea mountain, and she is born with a clever mouth and looks quite beautiful, and her personality is even more spicy and strong. Today, I suddenly encountered such a situation, and it is such a situation now, I pulled Ming'er and wanted to pretend not to see, although it is not a bad thing for this man and woman to fall in love, but in ancient times, this unmarried woman, hugging a man in broad daylight, and being seen is not good after all, I don't want to have another incident at this juncture.
But before he thought about it, he turned around not long ago, and heard footsteps behind him, "Ouch, this is not Miss Rui'er, we are really fated to meet here." "I couldn't help but be surprised when I turned around, Wang Gongzi, why is he!
I had no choice but to salute and said, "Prince Wang is good, Gongzi is good Yaxing." As she spoke, she looked up and saw her behind her with a cold face, staring at me with phoenix eyes. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: It's a matter of hiding from things. I had no choice but to smile and say to Cuihong: "Cuihong girl, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Na Cui Hong didn't return the courtesy, snorted his nose, and said, "Who should I be, it turned out to be a wild girl adopted by the Ji family." ”
"Who are you talking about?" Seeing her disrespectful words, Ming'er jumped out from the side, wanting to help me get ahead.
"Whoever I say, knows in his own heart." Na Cuihong glanced at the prince on the side, and said hatefully: "I don't know where I came from, I am dressed up all day long, and even Ah Niu, who is collecting firewood, has been hooked to his soul." ”
"You, you...... You don't want to spew blood. Ming'er's straight little face flushed. I felt a splitting headache and two temples jumping abruptly. I was already in a bad mood, and I felt even more bored in my chest when I was made of such a fuss, so I ignored the two of them anymore, pulled Ming'er and turned around towards the Nine Immortals.
Ming'er couldn't get angry, and shouted: "Sister, why don't you say a word, you, you have never been like this before, why are you being treated like this by others today, but ......"
"Ming'er, don't say it." I let go of her hand, grimaced my face, and said, "Do you want me to quarrel with that village woman in public?" ”
"But if she says those words, it will hurt my sister's name." Ming'er's face was full of grievances.
"Those who are clear are self-purifying, so why do they need to argue." My expression eased slightly, and said: "The reason why I don't want to show my head is because I am afraid of causing such a thing today, you and I are from Lefang, and we have long been with others, and now we are under the fence, although Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji treat us as if we have been out, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is different after all, not to mention ...... The other party is a jealous woman. ”
When Ming'er heard me say this, she had no choice but to give up, and followed me angrily and said: "Sure enough, what kind of person has what kind of eyes, that prince is not a good thing in my opinion, hum, sister, you didn't see it, he looked at you just now, I, I can't wait to gouge out his eyeballs." ”
I saw her so angry, but I laughed, turned around and scratched her nose, and said with a smile: "I didn't think about it, our little Ming'er is still a woman, who will dare to marry you in the future......"
"Sister, you...... You're making fun of other people. Ming'er blushed and gritted her teeth and stomped her feet in a hurry, seeing her delicate appearance, my mood improved. But she didn't expect her to suddenly sigh with a bitter little face: "Hey, if Meng Gongzi is here, see who dares to give my sister these grievances." Ming'er's faint words suddenly threw my heart into the air, and I fell straight to the ground, smashing into pieces.
Will he still protect me? Do you still think about me?
