After a few more days, Lian Song's injuries had basically healed. In the past few days, Cui'er has come to change his medicine and deliver food to him every day, and she can't help but be red in the face and red ears all the time, and she is shy and timid. Finally, as soon as Jiang Ling left, Lian Chung had relatives, so he no longer caused love debts. Counting the time, it was almost the day of departure agreed with Monk Xiulin. He thought that he had been taken care of by Chuxue Building for the past few days, so he wanted to go to Su Qianxue to say thank you, and then go to Hanshan Temple. Just thinking about it, the familiar sound of the piano sounded again, and it was accompanied by the sound of the dong flute, presumably Li Xuan was making peace with her. Thinking that their pair of talented women are harmonious and harmonious, but they are alone, I can't help but feel a little crazy. Pack up your mood, follow the music, and walk to Su Qianxue's water pavilion.

After the song was played, Li Xuan and Su Qianxue looked at each other and smiled. Li Xuan saw that Lian Chung was coming, so he hurriedly got up and greeted him: "Is Lian Gongzi better?" Lian Chung nodded and said, "Thank you Brother Li for your concern, it's completely fine here." Li Xuan nodded with a smile. Lian Chung arched his hand at Su Qianxue and said, "These days, I, a wicked guest, have been disturbed a lot, so I have come to thank Miss Su." ”

Su Qianxue waved her hand and smiled: "A little thing, not enough to worry about." ”

Lian Chung shook his head and said with a smile: "One is to thank you, and the other is to say goodbye." Lian Songben made an appointment with Little Master Xiulin to visit Tianyin Temple in Hanging Mountain together. Count the days, it's almost time to go. ”

Su Qianxue smiled at Li Xuan and said, "You also said that you were going to say goodbye to him, but he came first." ”

Lian Chung was stunned for a moment, and asked Li Xuan, "Brother Li is also going back?"

Li Xuan said: "Exactly. After coming down to this business, I have to go back to Beijing. was saying that he was going to say goodbye to Brother Lian, but Brother Lian was also leaving. ”

Su Qianxue said angrily: "It's all gone." Let's go, let's go, leave me a weak woman, and I'll be sad here!"

Li Xuan said with a smile: "I called you to go to the capital, but you didn't go, and I came to blame others again." ”

Su Qianxue sighed and said, "What's the point of going to the capital? There are so many elites that it's hard to find a fool who can laugh at them." I'm not going. Glancing at Li Xuan, he smiled and said, "Why don't you marry me back?"

Li Xuan shrugged, but ignored him anymore, and asked Lian Song: "Brother Lian, when you come down to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, one of your missions is to visit talents. I treat people in the rivers and lakes quite a lot, and I don't have too many officialdom constraints, can Brother Lian be interested in joining the ranks?"

Lian Chung shook his head and said: "There are still many mundane things to be done below, and I am used to being lazy, so I dare not delay." ”

Li Xuan smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, it's okay." When Lian Chung has time to come to the capital, he must come to sit with his foolish brother. ”

Lian Chung thanked him. He saw that the two of them didn't seem to have finished speaking, for fear of making the wood that spoiled the scenery, so he thanked him again and again, and left first. Li Xuan and Su Qianxue sent him to the door. The three agreed to meet in the future, so they cherished each other and waved goodbye.

When I came to Hanshan Temple, I happened to meet the monk Xiulin who came out to give it away, and there was a beautiful woman on the side, who turned out to be Zhang Linghui. Zhang Linghui saw that it was Lian Chung, and gently bowed his head to say hello. Lian Chung smiled back at her. Monk Xiulin didn't wait for him to ask, and smiled at him: "Master Lian is really lucky. Zhang Baiyi wants to go to Tianyin with us. ”

Lian Chung was stunned and said, "Such a coincidence?"

Zhang Linghui said lightly: "Exactly." Elder Fa Xian has been friends with my grandfather for a long time. I was ordered by my grandfather to bring something to him. ”

Lian Chung smiled: "That's very good. Master Xiulin's Buddhism is profound, and every word has a deep meaning. Rushing with him, my brain moves more than my legs and feet, and it's really hard for me. Now there are girls with me, fortunately, fortunately!"

Smiled and said, "Sins and sins, Amitabha." Even the donor can't belittle me like this because the little monk looks better than you. It's not kind, it's not kind. ”

Lian Chung made a strange face, and the two laughed. Zhang Linghui also smiled and said, "The two of you can be said to be bright for a while, so you don't have to be too modest." Lian Chung Xiulin hurriedly said that he didn't dare. Seeing the two of them pretentious, Zhang Linghui smiled, and suddenly the flowers bloomed and the moon was bright, and the sun was bright and blue. Monk Xiulin said: "Zhang Baiyi can't smile often. Even the donor will be tempted. Zhang Linghui is usually not good at joking like this, but Monk Xiulin said this in a serious and high-ranking tone. In addition, his people are delicate and kind, which is really annoying, so he just laughs.

Lian Chung smiled at Zhang Linghui and said, "I don't know how this flower monk got into Tianyin Temple." Then we will wait for Miss Zhang tomorrow?" Zhang Linghui bowed his head lightly, turned around and went out. Today, she tied her long hair into a centipede braid at random, a little less elegant, but a little more pretty, and Lian Chung couldn't help but look at it twice. As soon as he turned around, he saw Monk Xiulin looking at him with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and said with a smile: "Secular men and women, when they see beautiful things, they always like to look twice. The master doesn't have to be worried. ”

Monk Xiulin smiled, and invited Lian Chung to serve tea inside. In the evening, Lian Chung had a meal of Luohan Zhai in Hanshan Temple. The vegetarian taste of Hanshan Temple is light and distant, and it has a good reputation. There are often good men and women who stay overnight, and they come to the dining hall to disturb a meal, and the cost is only a few copper coins, which is not as good as the price of a small dish in Qifenglou. Lian Chung had dinner and went to rest without mentioning it.

Early the next morning, the light broke, and Lian Chung had already woken up. Outside the window, there was already a burst of Sanskrit sounds. Push the window to see, the outside is foggy, and the trees and figures in the mountain temple are all looming, like a fairyland. Lian Chung hadn't gotten up so early for a long time, so he couldn't help but take a deep breath and suddenly feel refreshed. In the past few days, Xiao Lian's Neidan has gradually begun to integrate into him, which has benefited him a lot. The internal force that had been greatly reduced by the venom of the four-cornered spotted snake before seemed to have a breakthrough at this time, as if the aura of heaven and earth had found a gap in his body and began to slowly infiltrate. Lian Chung knew that this process might take a long time, and he was not in a hurry. Whenever you reach a place with a deep aura, you will find an opportunity to meditate.

After breakfast, Zhang Linghui really came. This time, I also brought an old servant Zhang Zhao. That Zhang Zhao pretended to be a servant, but he was obviously a master of the outside family. This is the third time Lian Chung has seen Zhang Linghui, but he still feels that she seems to be more beautiful. Or rather, there was another temperament that he hadn't noticed before. The monks in Hanshan Temple who practice more shallowly are also expected to lose their minds. Only Master Xiulin, every time I see her, I can always make a joke.

Monk Xiulin bid farewell to the teachers of Hanshan Temple, and the four of them came to the dock. Zhang Zhao had already arranged for the boatman. The boat set sail along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal all the way to Zhenjiang. This dynasty attaches great importance to trade and water transportation, and the canal has been dredged several times, and the spacious place can be said to be vast. The three of them talked about some interesting martial arts stories, poems and songs on the boat, and time passed quickly. At noon, the boat was almost out of Suzhou, when suddenly someone on the river shouted: "Lian Gongzi! Miss Zhang! Xiulin Monk!"

The three of them looked up and saw a big boat not far away, with a brocade robe on it, and a beautiful woman in a lake green dress standing next to it, was smiling and waving to the three of them. It was Li Xuan and Su Qianxue. There was also a black-clothed attendant standing next to the two, smiling, tall and strong, although he was a slave, he had no humility, but he had some coexistence with Zhang Zhao. The voice just now was strong and heavy, and it was evident that it came from this person's mouth.

When the two boats approached, the three of them flew and jumped onto the big boat, and Zhang Zhaozi went to tell the boat to follow behind. Su Qianxue said with a smile: "Today I was about to send Li Gongzi back to Beijing, and the slave family was also going back to Jiangxia to visit a friend, but I didn't expect to meet him on the river." ”

Li Xuan also smiled: "The three of them came at the right time. Asa Xue has just cooked two lake fish, and it will be fine in a while. ”

When the little monk said goodbye to the Buddha of Hanshan today, he still thought that if he went today, he would not be able to eat the shallot-roasted carp of the shallow snow girl, chop the head of the pepper fish, and it would be a pity. The Buddha must have heard the little monk's prayer and sent me to eat fish. ”

The crowd laughed. Li Xuan said with a smile: "Master Xiulin even knows the dishes, haha." "A servant had already arranged tables, chairs, and chopsticks at the bow of the ship. Li Xuan led everyone to sit down and said, "How about we drink and eat fish on the bow of this boat today?" Su Qianxue smiled and went to the kitchen to cook. Li Xuan made a pot of Dongting Biluochun first, and chatted casually with Lian Chung and Xiulin. Zhang Linghui sat on the side, just smiling and listening to them, drinking tea lightly. Only when talking about her, do I interject two sentences. Not long after, Su Qianxue came out, holding an azure dense glazed pot. He was followed by two maids, both of whom were carrying a large basin, one of whom was Cui'er, who had served Lian Chung before. In that pot was her home-brewed Sanhua wine. The above good bamboo leaves are green as the base, the osmanthus is the main, the rose, the autumn chrysanthemum is the guest, the fragrance is clear, and the sweetness is abnormal. In that pot is naturally the chopped pepper bighead carp head and the scallion roasted carp that the monk Xiulin coveted.

As soon as everyone poured wine, a gray figure suddenly flew on the canal. The man came on the canal, like a dragon, with a huge fiery gourd on his back. Li Xuan's guards were about to take precautions, but they were stopped by the man in black.

The gray shadow fell on the bow of the boat in a blink of an eye, looked at the table, and said with a smile: "There are fish and wine, creation, creation!" These two sentences of creation are exactly the same as the tone of Monk Xiulin just now. Lian Chung was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Dao Tong Ancestor!"

The old Taoist priest pinched his nose, looked at Lian Song, and said, "Is it you kid?" and looked at Zhang Linghui next to him, and asked: "You kid is empathetic and don't fall in love so quickly? ”

Lian Chung knew that he was asking Cai Yun, and his heart ached, and he said, "After the master left that day, the Demon Sect attacked in a big way. Cai Yun has unfortunately been killed. This Miss Zhang is just a friend of the same company, and she has nothing to do with the younger generation. ”

Dao Tong looked at Zhang Linghui up and down and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity." I don't know if it's a pity for Cai Yun, or a pity that Lian Chung can't have anything to do with Zhang Linghui. patted Lian Chung on the shoulder and said, "Kid doesn't have to be too sad. Your little sister is a good girl. Come, drink two more glasses, and there will be no troubles. He grabbed the flask with one hand and poured it.

The crowd was at a loss. Lian Chung smiled and said: "This is a drunken Taoist and humane immortal master, and he is the most debauched. You don't have to be restrained. The drunken Taoist squinted his eyes and said, "You kid sounds like you're talking about me!" and everyone toasted, and everyone stepped forward to salute. The drunken Taoist waved his hand: "No need to be formal. He looked at Monk Xiulin and said, "Is the old dry monk good? It's really hard for him to teach such an apprentice as you." Monk Xiulin said with a smile: "When I go back this time, I think that Master's Eight Bitter Zen will also be successful." Dao Tong nodded, looked at Li Xuan, sighed, and said, "A royal musty smell." Li Xuan was not angry, he only smiled and gave another salute.

The drunken Taoist glanced around at everyone again, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, they are all handsome for a while." That little girl, I am a fairy master, do you still have that wine?"

Su Qianxue smiled and nodded, and asked someone to bring the remaining three jars and three flowers on the boat. Dao Tong was not polite, and made a way to pour the three jars of wine into his gourd. In addition to the two plates of fish prepared by Su Qianxue herself, there were also some shrimp, crabs, cattle and sheep, seasonal vegetables and vegetables, and a table full of them. Drunken Taoists drink wildly, and eat vegetables like ordinary people. While eating, she praised Su Qianxue's cooking skills, and whoever marries back in the future will be blessed, which makes Su Qianxue smile.

Halfway through the meal, two bursts of extremely arrogant laughter suddenly came from the river. Everyone followed the prestige and saw two brocade-robed boys on a boat not far away. is also handsome, one blue and one green, and is pointing fingers at everyone. The blue-robed boy was wearing a white jade belt and a goldfish bag. Between the eyebrows and eyes, there is an evil aura. When Li Xuan saw it, he frowned and said, "It's Li Weicheng, the son of King Zhao." This guy is the last thing to do. "He rarely treats people so meanly, but this Li Weicheng bullies men and women in Jiangsu and Zhejiang on weekdays, and he has old grudges with him. He had a mission, and he didn't want to meet him, so he nodded to everyone and went into the cabin first.

The boat went on a rampage and approached Li Xuan's boat. Next to Li Weicheng is Xu Ying, the son of Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, who is in cahoots with Li Weicheng, and is the same as the four evils of Jinling. Seeing Li Xuan get up and enter, he shouted when he boarded: "Hurry up! Li Weicheng laughed and said: "That prince belongs to you, and your little girl has to give it to me." Xu Ying laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay! The bald monk is also mine!

Monk Xiulin stood tall and jade, smiled and said Amitabha, and with a wave of his hand, he smashed the leftovers on the table with plates and bowls towards the two people. A person flashed beside Li Weicheng, and as soon as he reached out, he took away the bowls. Li Weicheng laughed and said to Xu Ying: "It seems that your little monk doesn't like you." ”

Xu Ying was furious, copied a bow casually, and shot an arrow towards Xiulin. It's just that his head is limited, and the arrow falls into the canal lightly. When he shot another arrow, Xiulin had already picked up the bench under his seat and smashed it like a meteor catching the moon. The bench was made of mahogany, which was very hard, and Xiulin poured internal force, and smashed Li Weicheng's boat out of a big hole when he boarded. Immediately, the river poured in. Li Xu and the others didn't expect the other party to be so bold, and they were in danger, and they were even more excited, and while directing people to plug the loophole, they leaned towards Lian Chung and them faster.

The drunken Taoist sighed: "It's really a person who wants to die, and he can't stop it." Hey, the old mallet is finally here. ”

Everyone didn't know who the old mallet he was talking about, but when they looked at him, it turned out to be a green-shirted scribe, standing on a small boat. The boat did not have a boatman's boat, but it seemed to come slowly and urgently. When they came closer, except for Lian Song, everyone recognized that it was the senior they had met in the cave before, and they all got up and saluted. The drunken Taoist said strangely: "You all know this old mallet?"

The green-shirted scribe looked at him, took out a jug of wine, and shook it twice. The drunken Taoist suddenly changed color, and said with a grin: "You juniors! Come over and see Zuo Heyan Old Immortal!"

Everyone only learned that Zuo He was famous. Lian Chung was puzzled, but it was inconvenient to ask at this time. Monk Xiulin saw his doubts and said with a smile: "You fainted in that clams cave, and it was this senior who saved us all." ”

Zuo He Yan said coldly: "I was in a good mood that day, so I saved it casually." You don't need to take it to heart. It saves the future of revenge and adds a lot of embarrassment. ”

When the drunken Taoist got the wine, he called an amiable person and said to everyone: "Don't mind. This old mallet fairy is so cold-faced and hot-hearted. ”

Zuo Heyan glanced at him again, ignored everyone, and turned around to look at the river with his hands. Asked the drunken Taoist: "The hour is almost up?" the drunken Taoist bowed his head.

Before the words fell, I saw Li Weicheng's building boat suddenly raised high in the middle. Soon the ship could no longer bear its own weight, and with a screeching sound, it broke in two. An old Taoist priest in a purple robe and jade crown flew out of the boat, flew up and grabbed Li Weicheng and Xu Ying, and ran towards the shore on the water. There was a roar from afar: "Drunken Taoist priest, old cedar tree, sink my family's ship!"

The drunken Taoist frowned, and asked Zuo He Yan, "That's the Zhujing Daoist of the Taishan Sect, how could the old cow nose think that we sank the ship?" Zuo He Yan shook his head and said nothing.
