Marquis Ning personally went to Dancaotang and met Mr. Yibo. Ning Hou Ye was thinking about how to speak, and Mr. Yibo got to the point first.

"After Poor Dao came back from the house, I went to the Ethereal Peak of Qingyang Mountain and met my senior brother. The disease of the third son's ability and demons is rare in the world, and it is indeed difficult to completely cure. ”

Ning Houye's heart suddenly cooled half, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there really no way?"

"It's not that there is no way at all, but there is no absolute certainty of cure, so we can only try it step by step, do our best, and see the destiny of heaven, even so, at most there is only three or four percent of hope. ”

Even if there is only one percent hope, Li is willing to try. ”

There is another premise for realizing this hope, the third prince himself must leave home, officially enter the mountain, and cultivate the truth for many years, so as to have the possibility of realizing the hope of three or four percent. ”

"Monks?"

"Master Hou didn't hear me clearly, he didn't become a monk, he left home to enter the mountains, and he practiced for many years. ”

"Oh, as long as you don't leave home. At breakfast yesterday, the dog, who has always been stubborn and unruly, suddenly proposed to me the idea of cultivating the truth, so it seems that there is a providence in the dark!"

"It's a bit of a coincidence. Mr. Yibo said softly. He was calm and light on the surface, but in his heart he was secretly surprised.

"I heard that there are official disciples and registered disciples entrusted with training on Qingyang Mountain, I wonder if the dog can be among the official disciples?"

"The official disciples of the Qingyang Sect have strict and demanding selection conditions, and it is difficult for those who are not extremely talented to be shortlisted. The doctor said softly.

Marquis Ning immediately waved his hand and said, "I hope Mr. will be successful!"

Mr. Yibo bent his index finger and wiped his beard for two days, and said hesitantly: "Since it is the Hou Ye who asks for it, the poor road should do his best to fulfill it, let me go into the mountain again and discuss with the senior brother of the head Xuanji." ”

Li waited for good news. ”

Three days later, it was the day of autumn white. Qingyang sent someone to pick up Li Bingtong to go to the mountain to apprentice, but Zhen'er was taken to Qingcheng Mountain by her mother Bai Wuniang, who had been closed the day before.

At the beginning of the day, the mansion of the Marquis of Ning Guo was as lively as a festival. First of all, a group of soldiers from the general's mansion, such as the left and right generals, the generals of the forward battalion, the generals of the Xiaocai battalion, and the captains of various departments, came to congratulate the third prince on his joy in Qingyang Mountain; then a group of officials in the city, such as Cheng Yin, Cheng Wei, and Cheng Cao; then a group of important officials from the nearby Donghai County; and later, even the prince of Jing, who was guarding Jingcheng, also sent his second son Xu Chongxiao from the Pegasus of Jingzhou City, which was 800 miles away.

"Qingyang Mountain Immortal has arrived!"

In the hustle and bustle, everyone heard someone shouting outside the hall door, and the hall was suddenly silent. The Hou Ye and his wife hurriedly got up and went to greet them outside the hall door, but saw the housekeeper Li An walking in with a fluttering young man in white clothes.

"This is Master Hou! This is Madame!" said the butler.

"I have seen Lord Hou and Mrs., Liang Qingshan, a disciple of Qingyang Mountain, and I came to greet the third prince on the orders of the head master and the master of the master. ”

"The immortal envoy has worked hard all the way, please rest in the hall first. ”

Everyone in the hall has seen it one by one. But seeing this young immortal envoy, wearing a piece of jade with a blue color in his waist, the person is like a jade tree, the face is like white jade, the eyes are like stars, the voice is like a golden bell, gentle and elegant, humble and polite, and immediately attracted the attention of people in a hall.

"May I ask who the immortal envoy is?" After taking his seat, Hou Ye asked with concern.

"In the next one, it is the infant Liangshan people's clan. ”

"To the west of Liangshan, it is the country of the Liang Marquis who was hereditarily replaced by the six sons of Emperor Wen, and the Marquis of Liang took the country as his surname after three generations. Now I heard that the immortal envoy is also surnamed Liang, could it be that he has some relationship with the lord of the dynasty, the Marquis of Liang?"

"That's my father!"

"Ahh "I don't know where the son is in the family?"

"I am the eldest son in the family, and before I entered the mountain, my family kept calling me Shanbo. ”

"Liang Shanbo?"

"Exactly, but I left home at the age of eight to cultivate the truth, and now it has been thirty years, but I am used to the Taoist name given by the master. ”

"Look at the green jade on her waist! she is a fourth-order Taoist priest at a young age!" someone shouted loudly.

The hall was suddenly filled with praise.

The adults sighed that they had a son to learn from Liang Shangqing, the ladies all praised the choice of a son-in-law to choose Liang Xian, and the ladies were eager to marry someone to marry Liang Gongzi, and the sons were left with secret jealousy or envy in their hearts.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye!" the butler shouted again.

"Why are you so flustered?"

"Master Hou, the second master is back! It's just that it's really strange to be dressed!" lowered his voice in the second half of the sentence, but the people next to him could still hear it.

"Which second master?"

"It's your own brother!

"Second brother!" Hou Ye exclaimed, his eyes widened, "Where are the others?"

"Waiting outside the hall!"

"Please!"

"Second master, please!" the butler shouted out the door.

I saw a bald monk in his thirties, wearing an unpretentious gray-brown monk's robe, walking in. The hall suddenly resounded with the sound of whispering discussions.

"Who is this young monk?"

"Look at this eyebrow, it vaguely looks like the second prince of Houfu who disappeared silently more than ten years ago?"

"Tsk, how can this monk's robe be so old?"

"The two strings of beads on the chest and hand are not ordinary!"

......

Hou Ye hurriedly got up and hurried to the door to greet him.

"Second brother, it's really you!

"Brother, it's me! Li Xuan! I have taken refuge in Buddhism, and my Dharma name is Canghai. The man came with one hand and shook his palm. "Amitabha!"

Hou Ye was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered. Although there are very few people who believe in Buddhism in the local area and in the southeast of Dahua, he also knows that in the northern part of the west and in the mountains and wilderness of the Central Plains, Tianzhu Buddhism has long been like the grass on the plain two hundred years ago. It's just that although the great grandfather of this dynasty immediately got the world, he governed the country according to Taoism and Confucianism, and since then Taoism has prospered, Confucianism has flourished, and Buddhism is not respected in the court and the government.

"Come on in! Sit down and talk!"

"I've seen my eldest sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for ten years, you are still so charming and moving!"

"Second brother, I haven't seen you for ten years, in addition to your clothes, your face is still the same. Come and meet the second uncle!"

"Second uncle is good! Nephew Li Bingtong has seen uncle!"

Li Bingtong said, carefully looking at the second uncle in front of him, and felt that he was very different from his Hou grandfather's father. The medium figure is thin and thin, the innocent face has a faint quietness and vicissitudes, but the eyes are shining with clear light, the monk's robe is simple and shabby and looks a little fat, and the long string of cyan Buddha beads hanging on the chest and a string of cyan beads on the wrist of the right hand reflect each other, but it is particularly eye-catching.

"The virtuous nephew is so wise!" Second Uncle Canghai stretched out his hand and stroked his zenith, sighed in admiration, and then sat down with his brother.

"Second brother, more than ten years ago, because of that love catastrophe, you insisted on going on a long trip, saying that you wanted to find the way to heaven and cultivate the true body of immortality, how could I and your sister-in-law not be able to keep you, it seems that you have achieved a positive result?"

"Brother, it is difficult to cultivate the true body of immortality, but the way to heaven is clear in your chest. This matter is a long story, when I traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers of Dahua alone, and did not really find the way to see the heavens and the way to live forever, so I stayed in Shendu, and later because of the guidance of a wandering monk, I met the doctoral disciple Jing Lu. Later, by chance, we met Yi Cun, the messenger of the King of You, and the three of us had a very happy conversation, so we copied the 'Futu Sutra' dictated by him together, and under his introduction, we met with the Venerable Master of Tianzhu Monk Salad, and listened to his preaching of the Dharma, and suddenly realized that he knew that immortality could not be achieved and that there was a way through the heavens, so he worshiped him as a teacher and returned to Buddhism. ”

"Oh, so the Dao is short, but the Dharma is long?" Hou Ye wondered.

"Indeed, for example, today His Majesty has built a grand temple on Yuhua Mountain on the east side of the Shendu City, named Jinguang Temple. The Venerable Master Salad invited the Venerable Master Morteng and the Venerable Master Zhu Falan to translate the scriptures and preach the Dharma in the temple together, and the dignitaries of the court and the central government went to listen to the Buddha and receive the Dharma. Ten days ago, the Venerable Master Salad looked at the southeast and said that there was a flash of Buddha light on the coast of the East China Sea and at the mouth of the Great River, so I asked for my order to come east in a hurry, first, to miss my brother and sister-in-law in my hometown, and second, to find the Buddha's fate and Dharma Qi for my teacher. Not to mention, as soon as I got close to the boundary of this Nai Ho City, I really felt the aura of the Buddha. Just now I saw my little nephew, whom I had never met, and my eyes suddenly lit up, not to mention his young age, but he had a bright future! I touched his top with my hand, and found that he was not a shallow Buddha. ”

"Really, how did the second brother find out that he is not a shallow Buddha?"

"You can't say it, you can't say it, the Dharma is profound, you can only understand it, you can't talk about it. Second Uncle Li Xuan said, shaking his head again and again. "Amitabha!"

Hou Ye Li Chengzi Changjun, only this one younger brother, named Xuanzi Youqing. The age difference between the two is ten years, and they have had very different personalities and hobbies since they were children. Due to the early death of his father, Li Cheng was hereditary at the age of seventeen and assumed the responsibility of the general's mansion and the marquis' mansion. He is young and martial, tall and heroic, resolute and brave, shrewd and strong, decisive, good at making friends with officials, and quite a saint, plus there is a demure and intelligent county lord's wife as an internal helper, so he can control the southeast half of the Great China Kingdom. Li Xuan lost his father at the age of seven, he liked literature and martial arts since he was a child, he was also thin and thin, his personality was flexible but not withdrawn, docile but assertive, and he could speak well; when he grew up, he liked to go off the rails with swords, was curious about the way of cultivation, and became strange and chivalrous, so he was full of strange theories and could boast, but he also learned a good swordsmanship. When he was seventeen years old, he went to Yuezhou, where his second uncle was located, and practiced Taoist medicine exercises there under the pseudonym of Xu Xuan, because of a mysterious and absurd love of human snakes, there was a lot of uproar over there, but fortunately, the second uncle forcibly broke up with the power of thunder, and invited a Western monk to brainwash him for three years before he melted the knot in his heart. But the second uncle was afraid that the family would be ugly, so he didn't tell him too much about the eldest nephew who was the elder brother, and the second brother also tried his best to avoid it. So people here have heard about it, but they don't know much about it. Today, the two brothers have been together for ten years, although they have deep blood and have a very happy conversation, but Hou Ye Li Cheng only listened to the words of this second brother who behaved strangely and talked about it since he was a child, and did not take it to heart.

"Second brother, today is the day when your little nephew enters Qingyang Mountain to apprentice, you see that all the adults and generals are uninvited, competing to congratulate each other, especially the prince Jing also sent the prince to come, which makes our Li Mansion shine. Now you are also rushing back, which makes you even more happy for your brother, it can be seen that today is really an auspicious day, and I am very happy for my brother!"

"Today I came suddenly, I don't know if it's my nephew's day of Sheedon, I didn't prepare any gifts, this string of thousand-eyed pearl bracelets, is Tianzhu's wisdom sacred tree Bi Bo Luo tree beads knotted on the beads finely polished, by my master Salad Master opened the light and warmed, the inner wisdom is stored, the outer light is shining, it is also a treasure, just give it to the little nephew. ”

Second Uncle Li Xuan said, took off the cyan bead bracelet on his wrist, stepped forward and put it on Li Bingtong's wrist. But see a piece of cyan beads, turquoise and clear, the color is fresh, the strange thing is that there are a lot of black circles on each bead or round or flat or large or less, like a thousand shapes of wisdom eyes, containing infinite aura, even the Hou Ye Li Cheng saw that it is worth a lot, very like.

"Second brother, since this jewel bracelet is a holy relic of your faith, don't give it away. Hou Ye Li Cheng excused himself.

"Amitabha, if it is given to ordinary people, it is reluctant, but today it is given to my nephew of unparalleled wisdom, even if it is a priceless thing, what does it matter? Not to mention a string of beads?" Li Xuan said, sitting back in his place.

"Thank you, second uncle!" Li Bingtong stood up and thanked him, he also liked this bracelet at a glance.

"Master Hou!" the immortal envoy Liang Qingshan took the opportunity and said, today is indeed a good day, the time is almost up, and the third prince should also set off. ”

"Thank you Immortal Envoy for reminding me!" Hou Ye turned his face and said with a smile, "I only care about the feelings of thinking after the separation from my brother and brother, and I almost forgot the time, so please ask the Immortal Envoy to take my son Li Bingtong and set off." ”

Everyone stood up with Hou Ye, and followed Hou Ye and his wife to send the immortal envoy and the third prince to the gate of Zhengyang Street. Two white horses were waiting for the guards.

"Please let Hou Ye and his wife stay!" the immortal envoy Liang Qingshan bowed to Hou Ye, and then turned to everyone and arched his hand. "Thank you for sending us, please stay!"

"Ang Lee!" Hou Ye shouted.

"The villain is here!" replied the butler.

"You will send the immortal envoy another ride on behalf of me and my wife!"

"Yes!"

"Tong'er!" Mrs. Xu reluctantly instructed, "When you get to the mountain, you must listen to the words of the Venerable Master, and learn and ask for advice from this immortal envoy brother." ”

"Remember, child!" Li Bingtong replied, his nose was sore, and the warm maternal love of the past ten days had already haunted him.

"Please also ask the immortal envoy to take care of me, an unsuccessful child, in the future. Madame turned her face to the immortal envoy Liang Qingshan and said.

"Madam, please rest assured, our disciples and other disciples are seeking Taoism and learning art together on the mountain, and everyone is like a brother and sister, and they all care for each other. ”

Li Bingtong and Liang Qingshan said goodbye to the people who saw them off, and accompanied by the housekeeper Li An and four guards, they walked along the street to the east of the city, and walked out of the city gate after a while. The two thanked the housekeeper and the guards again, stepped on the white horse, and embarked on the path of cultivating the truth to the Miaomen Peak of Qingyang Mountain.
