Volume I

Chapter I

In the east of Shenzhou, east of the Yellow Sea, there is a small island, which is the holy place of Buddhism - "Penglai Immortal Island". The island is more than 100 miles, the heart of the island is to the west, there is a Penglai Temple, which is the most Buddhist cultivation in Shenzhou today, and is the place where believers and Buddhas yearn for, only the monks who have attained the Tao can rest, cultivate the way of heaven, and cultivate the right results. There is a small town at the foot of Penglai Temple, it is rumored that it has been cultivated by the Buddha for a long time, contaminated with the Buddha's gas, and the people who live in it will have some Buddha power given by the Buddha over time, and the physique is more suitable for cultivating the Buddha, of course, only the most devout believers can live.

To the east of the town, and the farthest corner from Penglai Temple, there are a few patchwork bungalows, a round of fiery red sun is slowly rising, and the bright red spreads along the coast, smearing the whole town. First of all, this bungalow is even more red and delicate.

Fu Lingzheng and his wife are the owners of these bungalows, and today, his wife, who is ten months pregnant, will finally give birth to a child for him. A black shadow appeared on the half-pulled wooden door, and the first thing that caught my eye was a pair of worn straw sandals, which crossed the threshold and stopped in front of Fu Lingzheng, and the shadow was stretched for a long time in the morning sun. The shabby robe blocked the gentle sea breeze, and the hunting sound.

Fu Ling was holding the infant child, half-squatting on the side of the wooden bed, squinting at the monk, and said, "Since you are here, let's choose a name for the child." ”

The old monk's wrinkled hand was raised gently, and just as he was about to touch the child, he sighed and drooped heavily.

"Amitabha, the Bodhisattva is above, since it is the request of the benefactor, it is better for the old man to be respectful than to obey his fate. ”

I saw that the master of vain looked at the child's face, and pinched his fingers, his brows were furrowed and calm, and he didn't know if it was happy or angry. Then the master looked at Fu Lingzheng, stopped talking, and after a while, said, "Do you think it's good for a child to have a single name?"

Fu Lingzheng said lightly: "The Buddha said, follow the fate, then call him Fu Xuan, thank you master." After speaking, he turned his back and looked at the woman on the bed gently.

Wufu looked at Fu Lingzheng's back, sighed, stepped on the moss-covered path, and gradually walked away, the usual steady pace, at this moment, it was a little staggering.

......

In a blink of an eye, the original child has gradually grown up, and it is fifteen years later.

Penglai Temple every 20 years to open the mountain to recruit disciples, each time for three years, this year is the day of Penglai Temple to accept disciples, Fu Ling is at home to tell Fu Xuan, let him review the Buddhist scriptures read in the past ten years, plus he is the child of the Penglai master baptism, eight or nine out of ten can enter Penglai. I saw a white and pure young man directly opposite Fu Ling, facing his father's teachings, seemingly serious and distressed.

That night, Fu Xuan was lying on his side on the bed, looking at the bright moonlight, his brows furrowed, and then he shook his head again, and so on. After a long time, as if he had made a decision, he got up and changed his clothes, stole some money, scribbled a few words on a piece of paper, and quietly left the house. The moonlight never leaves his body, walking towards the pier with firm steps, the fish belly on the seaside is already white, and the night will eventually pass, Fu Xuan's life is like the rising sun, which is about to exude a different brilliance.

Looking back at the Penglai Temple, where the golden light and Buddha spirit were overwhelming, Fu Xuan bowed three times with his hands together, then turned around and stepped on the ferry, and left Penglai Immortal Island, where he had lived for fifteen years.

The ferry boat was getting farther and farther away, and although the waves on the sea were sparkling, they were not as good as the thoughts in Fu Xuan's heart. "I don't know if my father and mother will be heartbroken? I wonder if Master Wufu will be disappointed by what I have done? But it is a hot-blooded man, if I have not been involved in the world is to escape into the empty door but it is absolutely impossible, if one day, I see through the red dust, taste all the things in the world, but also return to Penglai, to be a dozen more monks, to live the world safely. ”

The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red. is almost on the shore, Fu Xuan, who has been worry-free about food and clothing since he was a child, how can he endure the suffering of taking a boat, he is already crumbling.

The boatman shook Fu Xuan: "Childe, it's almost to the shore, you are sober and sober, that's it, if that's it, even if you get to the shore, you can't stand steadily." ”

Fu Xuan gritted his teeth, shook his head, answered, looked at the endless coastline, clenched his fists and thought: "This world is much bigger than Penglai, how can I have a place for Fu Xuan!"

With the red and bright sun, Fu Xuan stepped on the land of Shenzhou. "Fake gold is plated with real gold, if real gold is not gilded......" is to go to the customs city of the capital.

Xudu, because of this, is named after the overseas Xiaoxiao and the land of Shenzhou many battles, with casualties everywhere, and the descendants are named in memory of the soldiers and martyrs who died defending their homeland.

Outside the city, a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes looked up at the towering city wall, grinned, and said to himself: "How can Penglai have such a high city wall!"

I don't know how a young man who walked by him had such sharp ears, heard Fu Xuan's muttering, stopped and said to Fu Xuan: "This little brother is from Penglai?"

"Yes, but how do you know I'm from Penglai?"

"Forgive me for being rude, when I passed by Childe's side, I unconsciously heard Childe's words. If it's convenient, please let me take my son here to play, sightseeing, and apologize?"

Fu Xuan smiled awkwardly and thought: "It turned out that what I said like a turtle entering the city was heard by others, but I said how others knew, which was a joke, but seeing that he was polite and polite, and in line with Buddhist morality, I just let him go." ”

Then he said: "Then there is Lao Gongzi." ”

"Where is it, under the surname Guan, a single name is Yi, dare to ask the little brother's surname?"

"Under the exemption of your surname, it is also a single word Xuan. ”

The two of them walked on the wide street of Xudu City, Fu Xuan was like a blank piece of paper, with Guan Yi's description of Xudu, the introduction everywhere, like a surprised child, looking at the dazzling things, but also feasted. Suddenly, a breeze with a charming fragrance blew Fu Xuan's nose, making his pores all over his body open, smelling too much food and incense in Penglai, but he couldn't resist the smell of meat on his face.

Guan Yi next to him saw Fu Xuan's appearance, and also smiled inadvertently and said: "Fu Xuan, you haven't eaten yet, then let's go to the Chunfeng Zhai in front of you to have lunch together, that is a well-known food city in Xudu City, and you can eat the special food of Xudu there." ”

Fu Xuan, who was already hungry, hurriedly nodded: "That's very good." ”

As the fragrance got closer and closer, the two came to Qingfeng Zhai, chose a seat by the window and sat down, ordered some beef side dishes, two pots of wine, and poured it freely.

After three rounds of drinking, Fu Xuan, who was not strong enough to drink, was already crumbling, but he could talk to Guan Yi a lot, and he still wanted to talk.

"Brother Guan, you are older than me, and the two of us are so fateful, if you don't dislike it, it's okay to call you Brother Guan?"

Guan Yi shook his head and smiled: "Now, a pure young man like you is only available in Penglai, right! You said that you don't want to escape into the empty door like this, just follow me into the Yanyu Pavilion, I just want to go to the Yanyu Pavilion to apprentice, otherwise you are so reckless and reckless in the land of Shenzhou, something must happen, and besides, I don't want you to be defiled by this world, such a childlike innocence, isn't it what immortal cultivators crave the most?

Fu Xuan listened, thought for a while, and took advantage of the wine: "Then let's go and worship this Yanyu Pavilion together, and get rid of the shackles of this world!" As soon as the voice fell, it seemed that he couldn't hold on anymore, and he threw himself on the wine table.
