"Master Zhang, I can expect you." The fifth prince of the Dragon King saw Zhang Shaofei and a woman descending from the sky in Chanlongxia, and shouted loudly in a hurry.

"Fifth son, I'm Zhang Shaofei late, and I'm ...... you" Zhang Shaofei said this, he couldn't bear to say any more, and looked at Le Zhidan who was standing beside him, "This is my sister-in-law, Le Zhidan, the fourth lady of Lejia." ”

"Hello Miss Lesi." After the fifth prince of the Dragon King and Le Zhidan said hello, they were about to confide in Zhang Shaofei about what happened after parting, Zhang Shaofei waved his hand and said: "Fifth son, it is rare that we will meet again after saying goodbye today, the sky is beautiful, the weather is comfortable and sunny, and the scenery is beautiful, let's go and talk." ”

"Okay." The fifth prince of the Dragon King said briskly.

Along the way, he was in no mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, and confided in Zhang Shaofei with a melancholy face that he met, knew and loved the cuckoo fairy......

Unconsciously, I went to a small hill pier at the intersection of Shimen Valley and Zenlong Canyon next to the ancient post road at the northern foot of Tianlu Mountain. Zhang Shaofei asked in surprise: "Where is that?" ”

"The locals call it the Buddha Pier." Le Zhidan took over the topic, "I heard the elderly people in the village say that the sixth ancestor once lived in seclusion in Tianlu Mountain for a period of time, and he had a special preference for plum blossoms, thinking that the green calyx plum blossoming here has a petal of ice and jade, like a Zen heart, dusty, ethereal and flawless, and it makes people distracted thoughts disappear when they look at the past." The Sixth Ancestor especially took a fancy to the confluence of these two waters, and whenever he had free time, he came here to plant plum trees. ”

"The land is fertile, the water is plentiful, the sun is excellent, and those plum trees grow fast and right?" Zhang Shaofei interjected.

"Yes, the people in the village all believe that the plum tree is the plum kernel left by the immortals such as Tie Guan Li when they came to Tianlu Mountain to hold the Hundred Fruit Banquet and absorbed the aura of heaven and earth. Under the leadership of the six ancestors, the mountain people planted plum trees in a large area on the mountain, and it didn't take long for the plum trees on Tianlu Mountain to spread all over the mountain. Le Zhidan looked at the plum forest affectionately, "In the season of plum blossoms, up and down the mountain, a white expanse, like white clouds falling on the earth. The mountain breeze blows, the fragrance of plum blossoms ripples, intoxicating, it can be said that the mountain people are living in the sea of flowers, the world of incense, and they are at ease. On the other hand, when the plum blossoms fall and the plum trees bear fruit, countless green plums hang on the branches, and the fruits bend the branches. The harvested plums can be soaked in wine or sold as preserved fruits. In this way, the plum tree has brought a lot of tangible benefits to the mountain people. ”

At this moment, the vast sky was blue and blue, like a huge curtain that had been filtered out of variegated colors. A few snow-white clouds, blown by the wind like a boat in the sea, floated gently.

Zhang Shaofei wanted to water the plum tree, but when he came to the stream, he was stopped by a pair of middle-aged men and women not far from the stream.

The man was from Gangjiao Village at the foot of Tianlu Mountain, his name was Su Xiaohua, and the woman standing next to him was his wife Ah Fang. Judging from her depressed face, she had encountered something unsatisfactory.

Su Xiaohua waved to Zhang Shaofei and shouted, "Little brother, please come over for a while." ”

Zhang Shaofei waded across the stream and asked, "Uncle, is there something wrong?" ”

Su Xiaohua was about to speak, but when he saw his wife standing next to him, his face was blushing, and he was speechless, and pulled Zhang Shaofei to the big banyan tree a few feet away.

Su Xiaohua blushed, lowered his voice and told Zhang Shaofei the crux of his heart: he has been married for more than ten years, but his wife has not been able to give birth to children. His father and mother urged them again and again, and they had also sought out some Langzhong, but after taking many pills, they did not see his wife pregnant. The more anxious they are, the less effective they become. His parents had a lot of opinions about his wife and often accused her for no reason. Fortunately, his wife had a good temper and swallowed her anger and did not quarrel with the old man. But it is not easy for Su Xiaohua to be caught in the middle.

There is a way, there are thoughts in the day, and dreams in the night. Last night, Su Xiaohua had a dream, saying that there was a living Buddha on Tianlu Mountain who could solve difficulties. When he woke up in the morning, he took his wife to the top of the mountain, Tianlu Temple. After listening to his appeal, the abbot Rude said frankly that he was only a Buddhist monk and had no ability to guide and send children, and everything in life could only be fate.

Su Xiaohua was not discouraged, he and his wife climbed high and low, went up the hill, waded through streams, entered the woods, went down the ravines, and searched everywhere, but they couldn't find the living Buddha.

Seeing that Zhang Shaofei was by the stream, in desperation, Su Xiaohua had no choice but to ask Zhang Shaofei for help and asked, "Little brother, do you know where the living Buddha is in the mountains?" ”

Although his voice was small, but at this time there was silence in the mountains, Ah Fang still heard it, and said to himself ashamedly: "Alas, this is not to blame. ”

Su Xiaohua continued to say to Zhang Shaofei: "Some people persuaded me to divorce my wife and remarry. But I think that one day husband and wife for a hundred days, we become husband and wife, this is God's arrangement. My wife is hardworking and capable, and she is very filial to my parents. How can I divorce my wife and marry another? ”

Zhang Shaofei praised: "Uncle, you are really a good man. ”

Su Xiaohua poured out his heart's bitterness to Zhang Shaofei: "But you should also know that in our rural areas, there is such a custom, what is said is not filial piety, there are three, and no queen is the greatest." If you don't have descendants, you will be despised by others, and your family business will not be inherited in the future. So we burn incense and worship God at home every day, and meditate on it every night. Alas, I have been so sincere in worshiping the Buddha and have done so much hard work, but I have not seen my wife happy. My wife and I are both almost forty years old, and if my wife can't have children in the past few years, then it will be even more slim in the future. So my wife and I went up the mountain, hoping that the living Buddha could give us guidance and make my Sumen incense lamp follow. ”

The hill is surrounded by irises that symbolize love and good fortune, and among the green grass, the purple-blue flowers bloom like flocks of butterflies. There is a large stone under the big banyan tree in the center of the hill.

Zhang Shaofei had an epiphany and said, "Uncle, you don't have to work so hard to find other places in the mountains." I ask you, what is that? ”

Su Xiaohua followed Zhang Shaofei's point, saw a big stone, and replied casually: "Little brother, the question you asked is too simple, this is obviously a very ordinary big stone." ”

Zhang Shaofei said with subtlety: "Yes, you say it's a big stone, it's a big stone, but what if you think it's not just a big stone, but something else?" You might as well use your brain to imagine it."

"This ......" Su Xiaohua walked up to the small hill pier, pinched the short beard of his chin, looked left and right at the big stone, and looked at the middle for a while: the bottom of this big stone is wider, triangular oblique upward, and the top is round, a bit like a human brain, if he has an understanding, and then beckoned to his wife, and said, "Ah Fang, come and see, what does this look like?" ”
