Chapter 2: The Greasing Path
Let's say that Mrs. Hua walked out of the mountain gate, supported by the girl next to her, and watched and played layer by layer, and the younger generations followed her. Although the Qingxu Sect is a temple of descendants, it is also quite large. Its building is an authentic Taoist temple large-style building, heavy eaves rest mountain, majestic and magnificent, quite attractive. There are many buildings and halls in the view, what Shifang Hall, Xuanxuan Hall, Spirit Palace, Lao Law Hall, Jade Emperor Palace, Relief Palace, Medicine King Palace, etc., a group of people stopped and stopped for more than half an hour. After all, Mrs. Hua is an old person, and her body is gradually unable to bear it, so she stops at Yunshuizhai to rest and eat tea.
A group of people gossiped around Mrs. Hua, only to see Brother Yan come over thoughtfully. Mrs. Hua called him to her, patted him on the seat next to him and asked him what he saw. This is when Hua Yanran woke up, smiled and said to her grandmother, "Divine Officer Li's bone healing and acupuncture skills are quite good. The little boy had several broken legs, feet and sternum, and he used needles to seal the acupoints to relieve the pain, all by touching and connecting the bones, all in one go. Awesome, awesome!"
Mrs. Hua smiled and said, "That's natural, in the past, Li Dangjia and your grandfather went out to the army to practice medicine and lived countless lives. I remember that once your grandfather and they were besieged by a gang of bandits in Hu'er Mountain, there were many wounded soldiers, and there was a lack of medical treatment. Ahem, that was decades ago. Are you really old?"
The past is like a spring tide, the old lady seems to have fallen into some kind of emotion, and after a while, she came to her senses and continued to ask: "How is that little Taoist boy?" Hua Yanran had an inexplicable excitement and said: "That little Taoist priest is really powerful, such a serious injury, pinching the bone and resetting, I feel unbearable when I think about it, he only sweats during the whole process, and does not shout a word of pain, if it is anything else......"
Hua Yanran was still talking endlessly, and the old lady looked at her grandson Ruo Ruo Tianshu with an excited face, but she still interrupted: "Dao Tong is seriously injured?" "That-, the legs and feet are choked with the lungs, it is estimated that there will be no half a year to get out of bed, according to the old priest, maybe the legs and feet are inconvenient, because the legs not only hurt the bones, but also seem to hurt the blood, muscles and bones. Hua Yanran said. Mrs. Hua let out a soft "oh", then looked sideways at the half of the couplets on the right wall, and read softly: "With compassion in your heart, you will eliminate thousands of karma." Have compassion in your heart!"
Before the words fell, a "poof" sound was heard, and the slave who had beaten him before knelt on the ground, and an old woman took the lead in praying: "The old slaves know that they are wrong, please punish the old lady." ”
The people gathered on the side all held their breath, solemn and solemn.
Old Madam Hua glanced at the kneeling person, and then swept the crowd, and then said to Brother Yan: "When I was a girl, Yu Cheng Conghou Gong often said in court training, 'Under people, regard yourself as a person, above people, and regard people as people; Then he turned to the kneeling man and continued: "Hitting a person is a big deal in the Captain's Mansion in Yiyang City, even in this Pure Void Sect Concept, because this is in Yiyang City. However, although the beating is small, it depends on the cause of the matter, and some small things are very important, and the right thing is still a child, who has lost the demeanor of the school captain's mansion and despised people. The officials took out some silver taels, and you also gave each of you half a month's money as incense money to the teachings as a warning. ”
When Mrs. Hua dealt with this matter, she understated it and didn't take a look at Grandma Yi San, who was in charge, but Grandma Yi San knew what it meant. Face is never kept by others, but earned by oneself, no matter what kind of figure is used in this family to coax the old lady not only not to lose face, but also to win face; So she smiled and said: "The old lady's wishful thinking is a three-five divided two-pong meal, it's really good, she not only supports the real immortals, but also doesn't spend her own money, it's really ginger or old spicy." Then I should also make a share of the blessing with the old lady. Mrs. Hua had already lost her solemnity just now, laughed with the crowd, and said, "Look at her mouth!"
At this time, a man from Washington came in and went back, and Yun Bixuzi was waiting outside, coming to ask the old lady. Mrs. Hua hurriedly asked someone to let him in. Bixuzi came in, and said with a smile: "Amitayus! The old lady was busy with that idle business just now, and she didn't have time to greet you, which is really rude." I see that the old lady's complexion is getting better and better, how can she look like a person in her eighties, similar to a young man. Old Madam Hua also smiled and said, "Old priest, you are polite." A few years ago, it was fine, but in recent years, it has become more and more heavy. After a slight pause, he continued: "Old priest, are you okay?" "Thanks to the old lady, the little old man is okay with this, and I always serve you immortals in a leisurely manner." This time you come here, you must have a good time, listen to the play, calm your mind, and avoid the heat. There is nothing else good in the view, but this river breeze is more pleasant. Bixuzi said with a smile.
Hua Yanran smiled and said respectfully: "Old Immortal Elder, just now I asked the old lady to show me, and she asked me to ask you more about the Qihuang technique these days." ”
"Brother Yan can see the little old man's subtle skills, it is the honor of the little old man, he should know everything, and he will say everything. Bi Xuzi continued, "The old lady knows that I can make a small contribution to Yiyang City with this little effort." ”
Old Madam Hua smiled: "The old priest is polite, that is not a small force, and the merit is immeasurable." Not to mention that you pray for Yiyang City every day, just how many people you lived because of you back then. The old lady returned to the city after the battle and praised him vigorously, saying that you should be the first to make a contribution in the city army headquarters. "The adult's false praise should not be true. To be honest, even if we didn't wait for the city lord to rescue us that day, the Lord would have been able to lead us to a great victory, because the reinforcements would have been half a step by then. Old lady, every time Xiaodao sees Brother Yan, he thinks of the high-spirited and compassionate feelings of adults in the past. Bi Xuzi said after laughing.
"Ancestor, grandpa is still very old, so he has already been a half-step dragon elephant?" Hua Yanran asked with admiration.
"Your grandfather was not yet thirty years old!" said the old lady with emotion, as if she remembered something unpleasant in her countenance, and then pressed into her heart and turned to calm.
"Don't sigh and talk about the old lady in the past, when it comes to compassion, you should thank our ancestors now. No, her old man's piety has influenced all of our little people, and everyone has prepared some meager capital to cultivate blessings for your view. Grandma Yi San said with a smile.
"Amitayus. Bixuzi said.
"It's nothing, even if the Taiyi God let that Dao boy heal quickly and atone for their sins. Mrs. Hua said slowly.
Bi Xuozi's face was whole, and he said to the old lady: "The old lady is merciful, but she rejoices in merit, and the trail is remembered in the five, only a stick of incense in the morning and evening." After a pause, he continued, "However, Xiaodao has a reluctant request, and I hope the old lady will agree. ”
"Old priest, but it doesn't hurt to speak. Mrs. Hua said.
"I would like to ask your government to set aside half of the money from this offering and give it to the child to make a marriage. I wonder what the old lady thinks?" Bi Xuzi said.
"Is there a difference?" Hua Yanran interfaced.
"Little Lao Dao didn't dare to hide it, although that boy was dressed as a Taoist and worked in the Sect of God, he could not be regarded as a monk in my Sect Sect. Bixuzi said.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Mrs. Hua suspiciously.
Bi Xuzi pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to organize the language, and then concisely explained the reason:
Daotong's surname is Lin, his name is Fusu, and the small character Hoshino. The family lives in the alley called the street entrance next to the Qingxu Temple. There are only two grandchildren in the family, grandfather Lin Shan and him. Lin Shan used to work as a dart master in the Fushun dart bureau opened by outsiders, coming and going in the wind and rain, and gradually became older and couldn't walk far, so he started a small business of pickled braised products and tofu. His tofu is suitable for young and old, and he is quite famous in several alleys near Qingxuguan, and he also sent some of the tofu used by Qingxuguan. After going back and forth to the Taoist priest in the dining room of the Taoist temple to get acquainted with him, he asked someone to intercede to see if he could let his congenitally frail little grandson Lin Fusu go to the Taoist temple to learn some musical instruments from the master who played Taoist music in Zhaijiao, and become a musician or dancer in the future.
This is also a coincidence, there is an old musician named Xuan Jing in the teaching temple, who has no children and no daughters, and is willing to accept an apprentice to inherit his skills. Lin Fusu is quite sensible when he arrives at the teaching concept, so many people in the temple no one hates him, and he is also smart, and he can learn the drums of musical instruments, especially the two instruments of the qin and flute. When he is not learning Taoism, he often goes to the scripture hall to talk to the capital or read the scriptures and read the scriptures, or to help do some things in the meditation, but he does not do anything fixedly, such as serving incense and lamps, watering flowers and plants, cleaning the temple, or adding everlasting lamp oil to the gods, cutting lantern flowers, or sorting out the fragments of the Taoist collection. Guanli also gave him some money so that he could subsidize his family. Because he stayed in the temple all day long, he also wore Taoist clothes and pulled up his Taoist bun, and he was a little Taoist monk.
Hua Yanran asked suspiciously: "Old Immortal Elder, isn't this Lin Fusu the fundamental way to make a living without leaving home and learning musical instruments?" Bi Xuzi stroked his white beard and smiled: "Brother doesn't know, although the musicians of Zhaijiao live in various Taoist temples, they are under the control of the imperial court's 'divine optimism'. The Great Zheng Dynasty stipulated that Le Wu should wear Taoist clothes during his life, and live in the temple, but he could have a family, and his father and son, master and apprentice would be hereditary. In other words, the music and dance students are all fire dwelling Taoists. However, I'm afraid that Le Wusheng will have nothing to do with this child!" Hua Yanran still had to ask, and Mrs. Hua already knew the reason, so she said without waiting for him to ask: "What about the child's parents?"
"The child has no father or mother, and he is not Lin Shan's own grandson. When Lin Shan went out with the dart game for the last time, he rescued a seriously injured pregnant woman on the East Pole Sea. said that the pregnant woman took a boat back to her parents' house to save her relatives, did not want to encounter wind and waves, and was attacked by sea beasts, and everyone in the boat died, and she was the only survivor. Due to a serious injury, the baby was born prematurely. The woman suffered another hemorrhage during childbirth and died not long after giving birth. This child has been raised by Lin Shan alone since he was a child. They are old and young, and they are really a family...... "Bi Xuzi sighed with emotion, and he also saw his pity for the children. After a slight pause, he continued, "I hope the old lady has mercy. ”
"God is pitiful" Mrs. Hua also sighed, and then said to Grandma Yi San: "Although this Lin Fusu is a broken rule, it is not a big deal, and now this injury is caused by us after all, you can just take care of it as a housekeeper." "It's a bit of a joke.
"The old lady is really the reincarnation of Taiyi Cizun, 'transforming into the Three Realms and Ten Directions, seeking sound and relieving suffering'. I heard that since ancient times, on the side of Chaoge City, if a boy over seven years old peeked into the inner family of the high gate, he could be killed directly, and the official could not be held accountable. Pin's grandmother, who was standing on the side, said. "'Since ancient times', hehe, don't say such a joke, the old priest and my elders know that this rule has only been a few decades in our Dongli. Old Madam Hua closed her eyes and said coldly.
Grandma Yi San listened to Mrs. Hua's words, and naturally knew that the old lady was going to be merciful, although there were thousands of unsatisfactory, but how to put a little Taoist boy in her heart, she simply said generously and generously: "The old lady's heart is soft like a ripe persimmon, and this kid should fall into the blessed nest, and I have this fate with you." I think so: it is disrespectful to draw the offerings of the gods, and the officials take the same amount of silver to let this forest be used for healing, and in addition, take a girl from the house who is kind and has experience in serving the wounded to help take care of the child, and then give his grandfather a salary in the name of receiving the ......"
Old Madam Hua stood up suddenly and said, "Okay, let's do it, let's continue to turn around this view." ”
