Chapter 18 Red Beans Grow in the South

The 16th day of the 10th month of the lunar calendar is an auspicious day for marriage.

On the streets of Puzhou, the sound of gongs and drums is endless, and in just one day, there are no more than three or four people in Puzhou.

On a pure white tall horse, the groom's face was full of red, and his body was still tied with bright red silk satin.

As the firecrackers rang out in the sky, some mischievous children were constantly playing in the streets, catching up with the sedan chair to welcome their relatives, and humming local nursery rhymes in their mouths.

"Ride a white horse, save the bride, today's brother is handsome, when will there be a hole in the house."

On the bustling street, a woman also dressed in red stood alone on the street, and the surrounding onlookers were also puzzled.

An elderly lady asked, "The girl is waiting for her sweetheart." ”

The woman in red nodded, then shook her head at the thought of something.

Seeing that the woman didn't say a word, everyone felt a little strange, and some matchmakers with vicious eyes fell in love with the graceful figure of the woman in red, so they were ready to come up and ask about the family background, but just a turn around, the woman in red disappeared.

Jixiang Mountain next to Jixiang Temple.

Although it is late autumn, Jixiang Mountain is still lush and green.

Red beans dressed in red climbed to the top of the mountain, but there were many wedding items in front of them.

Hongdou walked alone through the copper basin burning with flames, and stopped in the direction of Kichijoji, Hongdou learned the process of those newlyweds in Puzhou, backed by towering trees, facing the bright sky, worshipping heaven and earth, and worshipping the high hall.

"Xiao Huihai, after this farewell, we will not see each other in the future. You and I have spent thirteen years together, and the fate of this life is over. Now worshipping the sky and the earth, it can be regarded as living up to the glory in this life. ”

The red beans had a sad face, and all the bits and pieces of the past came to mind.

She was nothing more than an unshaped, and he was just a freshly shaved novice back then. It was he who watered her who was about to wither, and from then on every midnight she would come to him to bathe and burn incense.

Now that Huihai has entered the Demon Pavilion, in order to save Huihai's life, Hongdou does not hesitate to give up his life in exchange for a glimmer of life for Huihai.

However, the lifeless red bean was forced to face the Nine Heavenly Tribulations.

The sky that had been restored to its original infinite scenery just now seemed to be covered by a black cloth, and after the blink of an eye, the black clouds seemed to give birth to scales like fish scales.

In the center of the black cloud, a white light flashed, and the thunder was continuous.

"Sister, did you say that red beans will die?" April, not far away, asked anxiously.

Sima Yue didn't answer, but April saw a positive answer on Sima Yue's face.

"Another martyr..., is love really that great? Let them not even want their lives? April said sadly.

"The Heavenly Tribulation is unstoppable if it is not the Buddha's Golden Immortal, not to mention the Red Bean, a tree demon who has cultivated for no more than a hundred years." Sima Yue said in a deep voice, she took away the time of the red bean, so the red bean could only face the catastrophe in advance.

A thunderbolt slashed head-on, the heavens and the earth were pale, and the red beans who had suffered severe pain let out a suffocating wail.

The so-called catastrophe is to cut off the seven emotions and six desires on the demon's body, and the pain of stripping these feelings from the body can be described as life as better than death.

It's just that what Sima Yue didn't expect was that the red beans, which couldn't even carry a thunderbolt, actually carried the four paths, and now it is the fifth.

Sima Yue knew in his heart that the red beans, which had already been bloodless, would be wiped out before the next heavenly thunder arrived.

The thunder came as scheduled, and the frightened April had already closed his eyes, for fear that he would see a bloody scene.

The red bean, who had already been enlightened, was peacefully waiting for this moment to come, and a golden light surrounded the red bean.

The red bean, who had not shed a tear in the four thunderstorms, saw that people were crying bitterly, crying all the way, his eyes were already red and swollen, probably because he had no strength in his body, and he fell three or four times at a distance of two or three zhang, and the dusty red bean tightly grabbed the corner of Huihai's red robe, and said heartbrokenly: "You shouldn't have come." ”

Hui Hai didn't say a word, bursts of Buddha light emanated from his body, and Rao is famous monks who moved the world saw this scene without dissatisfaction and piety.

The sixth and seventh realms of two consecutive heavenly thunderbolts fell, alarming the heavens and the earth.

Hongdou pinched Huihai's robe tightly, for fear that as soon as he let go, the little novice in front of him would leave forever.

Hongdou choked up and said, "What are you doing, haven't you become a Buddha?" ”

"The little monk visited the Buddha overnight, and he transformed thirty-six demons and demons in the Demon Cave, but he couldn't transform himself."

Huihai smiled, and his gestures were already a bit of Buddha's color.

The eighth heavenly thunder fell, and this heavenly thunder was obviously very different from the previous heavenly thunders.

Huihai's seven orifices began to leave blood, and the already bright red robe became a little more sacred at this moment.

"Little monk, you go quickly, I won't be angry with you anymore, you don't want to die."

The sound of red beans has long been intermittent, and the red beans that have not cried after four thunderstorms have been pouring rain at this moment.

The mountains, forests, trees and rocks on Jixiang Mountain are all terrifying.

Sima Yue, who had everything in his eyes, sighed slightly.

The catastrophe has come, the ninefold heavenly thunder will fall, and no matter what the fetters of the world do, they will all turn to dust.

The lightning that was as bright as day just now had turned purple at this moment, and it came straight to the red beans.

Hui Hai said softly: "The 108,000 volumes of Buddhism are not as sincere as the feelings in front of you. If the little monk opens his eyes, where is not the west sky, if the little monk closes his eyes, the west is in front of him. ”

Hui Hai stretched out his fingers and stabbed his eyes, and in an instant, a stream of golden blood spilled out, and he stretched out his fingers to draw a mark on his eyebrows.

"Huihai is willing to give up the cultivation of the third world, and only wants a chance to survive the red beans that he exchanged."

Hongdou's voice was already hoarse, and the distance between her and Huihai was getting bigger and bigger.

"Little monk, little monk...."

Hui Hai straightened his robe, folded his hands, turned his head to look at Sima Yue, who had been hiding in the hillside, and lowered his head and whispered, "The little monk implores Miss Sima to help Hongdou when she needs help." ”

After Sima Yue nodded in agreement, Huihai said in a low voice: "Red beans, this string of twisted beads will be given to you." If there is an afterlife, then there will be an afterlife. ”

As if explaining his last words, Hui Hai said: "Practicing the third life, I suddenly don't want to participate in Buddhism today." It's not because of anything else, but I think the marriage is very interesting, and if the red bean can sit in it, it will be even more interesting over there. ”

Nine heavenly thunderbolts fell, and the figure of the little monk Huihai was disappearing at a speed that was already visible to the naked eye.

Red Bean's face was shrouded in golden light, but he couldn't make the slightest sound.

It wasn't until two hours later that the originally gray sky was clear.

Sima Yue came to Hongdou's side and said softly: "I didn't help, your time will be returned to you." ”

Hongdou didn't say a word, just held the Buddha beads in his hand tightly, which was a string of Buddha beads polished from fine red sandalwood, and the smooth beads were outlined with some incomprehensible patterns.

"The little woman is grateful to Miss Sima, I have decided that I will always accompany the green lantern next to the ancient Buddha, which can be regarded as atonement."

"That's up to you, April, and we're gone."

Looking at Sima Yue and April's departure, Hongdou was silent.

Since then, Puzhou Kichijoji has lost a little monk who often recites Buddha in the middle of the night, and an acacia tree that should have grown in the south.

The morning sun slowly shone into the courtyard of the Wang family.

Cui Yingying sat in front of the stage, and the maid Xiaorong coiled up her long black and beautiful hair and pinned a chic hosta.

As a large local family in Puzhou, the Wang family's clothing, food, housing and transportation are naturally not ordinary. But what the maid Xiaorong didn't expect was that since Cui Yingying married into the palace, many living customs have become simpler.

"Madam, you smile so beautifully, like a star in the sky." smiled and joked beside him.

Cui Yingying raised her head and looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her crescent eyebrows curled and smiled, and her eyes seemed to be able to speak.

"Is the old lady up?" Cui Yingying asked.

"I woke up early and was enjoying the flowers in the back garden." Xiao Rong said on the side.

This is the third month of Cui Yingying's marriage, and she was originally a big lady, and she married Wang Majie, the young master of the local big family in Puzhou.

Cui Yingying, who has been pampered since childhood, has done her best since marrying into the Wang family, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, she always goes to the old lady's hall on time to pay respects.

It's just that the old lady has a tricky personality, and she is not very welcome to Cui Yingying's arrival, but because of her son's face, she has to turn a blind eye.

"The young master has been gone for half a month, and the old lady doesn't know that she asked someone to come to visit you, Mrs. Xiao Rong said with disdain on his face.

"You Nizi, talk nonsense here again, be careful that the old lady listens to you." Cui Yingying said dissuasively.

"Originally, madam, you grew up with your lord since childhood, and everyone said that you are not only beautiful as a fairy, but also have a good heart, and they all complain for you." Xiao Rong plucked up his courage and said.

In fact, what Xiao Rong said is not unreasonable, since Cui Yingying got married, she has not received due respect, but has been excluded everywhere.

The master and servant stepped into the garden of the Wang family's housemother one after another, and as soon as the front foot entered the house, Cui Yingying heard her happy laughter, and looked up, a group of women were talking about the family's shortcomings around the Wang family's housewife.

The mother's family is also surnamed Cui, and Cui Yingying is originally a family, but because of the internal conflicts in the family, the two don't like each other.

The Queen Mother was born with a good face, coupled with good maintenance all year round, although she is more than forty years old, she still looks charming.

The Queen Mother, who was surrounded by everyone, was leisurely eating fine pastries, and from time to time ordered her servants to throw down a little fish food, causing more than a dozen fresh koi to fly up and down.

"Madam, the young master of the Maha family is coming to kneel." An older woman said.

Hearing Cui's visit, the smile in the queen mother's eyes suddenly subsided a little, and the dissatisfied look also gave a warning to the few people next to her.

"The warbler is coming." The Queen Mother said hello without smiling.
