It is the busy season of farming, and there is an endless stream of cultivators coming and going on the post road, or purging oxen, or carrying burdens, or carrying carrots...

A group of 12 Taoists escorted a sedan chair to walk there, which was very eye-catching. I only heard the words in the mouths of the Taoists: "If the heart is clear, the sky will not fall." All changes are still stable, and the spirit is calm. The dirt is not stained, and the vulgar appearance is not stained. Void and nothing. Nothing is mutually beneficial, and difficulty is easy to achieve. Forgetting things is the same as Nirvana. Heaven and earth are endless, and all things are one. Flying flowers and falling leaves, humble as a valley. A thousand worries before I put my heart down. That is, the eyebrows are raised, and the spiritual platform is clear. The mind is unhindered, and the mind is not attached. Relieve the mind and release the mind, Mo Ran has no soul. The water flow is not frightened, and the clouds are too late. Single-mindedly, ancient and modern. The heart is as pure as water, and the water is the heart. The breeze is silent, and the waves are not alarmed. Sitting alone, the harp whistled and sounded. Zen silence is settled, and the poisonous dragon hides. I don't know what to do, and God rewards hard work. I am righteous and awe-inspiring, and the ghosts are terrified. I am full of love, and heaven and earth return to my heart. The sky is high and the earth is wide, and the water is flowing and the clouds are flowing. Fresh and cure, straight to make a living. To the best of nature, the road is natural!"

These twelve horses and one sedan chair are Zhankong and Haitang who fell behind Mei Yuanchen and others.

Although on the way, Zhankong and other Taoist priests of all ages had already developed the habit of chanting mantras, but they still retained. While riding a horse, he said lightly in his mouth, and the two sides were correct. From the beginning of the hour to the beginning of the hour, I have been reciting for an hour, and I don't know how many times I have read it.

In the past six days, Haitang has listened a lot in the carriage, and can almost recite them one by one. There is nothing to do in the carriage, and after learning this "Pure Heart Mantra", every time I am upset, I recite it several times, and my mind is often settled.

"Zhankong Dao Chief, what is the explanation of 'the heart is unhindered, the mind is not attached'?" Haitang secretly reminded, and asked Zhankong for advice when in doubt.

In the past few days, Begonia has come to ask himself whenever he has a doubt, Zhankong has long been used to it, and he is happy to explain, and then replied with a smile: "Cultivation emphasizes that the mind is not hindered, and this mantra is to persuade people not to be paranoid, and everything can be put down." ”

"Oh, that's so!" Haitang muttered, and couldn't help but think, "There are so many worries in the world, can I really let go?" Thinking of Mei Siyuan, Bailisi's kindness, and Mei Yuanchen's love, Haitang couldn't help but shake his head lightly, and murmured: "The kindness is so heavy, but how can I let go?"

"Heaven and earth are natural, and filth is scattered. The cave is void, and it is too yuan. The eight directions are mighty, and they make me natural. Lingbao talisman, proclaim for nine days. Qianluo Tana, Donggang Taixuan. Slay demons and bind evil, save thousands of people... The demon king tied his head, guarded my Xuan......"After reciting the "Meditation Mantra", all the Taoist priests recited the "Pure Heaven and Earth Mantra" again, and the incantation seemed to faintly reveal a Tiangang righteousness.

It was only three o'clock, and there were not many street vendors and walkers, and the five horsemen were escorting a luxurious sedan chair in the middle of it, and passers-by avoided it from a distance.

The sedan chair was parked in a clay figure shop, and on the chariot was a delicate girl, when she turned around and whispered inside: "County Lord, it's here." ”

After a while, a girl with a beautiful face came out of the compartment, and I saw that her face was like congealed fat, her eyes were like stars, and everywhere she went, time and space were as fixed. I heard the beautiful girl ask softly, "Wisteria, is this the clay figure shop?"

Wisteria bowed and replied, "Yes, Lord of the County." I have already walked through Ah Lai before, and this 'clay man king' is no mistake. After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to help Xia Chengyi get out of the car.

"The Clay Man King. Xia Chengyi stopped beside the sedan chair, looked at the shop sign opposite and whispered.

Today, the store has not made a single transaction for a whole day, and the princess of the hall is depressed in her heart, and she is holding her head with her hands and thinking, "Today is the sun, and in ordinary times, that gentle son should have come to fetch the clay puppets, why hasn't he come today? But I don't know when to wait in the store? Since the family of those big officials was killed, I don't know how many people died, this capital is always gloomy, but I want to close the door and go home earlier." ”

"Zhangtang, I want to see clay figurines. A soft, soft voice rang out from the counter.

The sound was like a dinner bell, which made Wang Po suddenly wake up from her thoughts and walk out of the counter with a smile on her face. When I got closer, I saw that this female guest was like a hollow valley orchid, with a faint sadness on her face, and a secret difference in her heart, "What a handsome girl!"

"Miss, what clay puppets do you want to see?" asked Wang Po with a smile. After speaking, he turned back to the counter, bent down and took out a table, on which were placed all kinds of clay figurines: there were bodhisattvas, ladies, Ji Yao Niangniang, there were unicorn beasts...

"Do you have any puppets here? I want to see them. Xia Chengyi's eyes swept over the table, shook his head slightly, and asked.

The princess of the hall was stunned for a moment, her expression flashed, and she said: "Ouch, there are yes, but they were bought by a son." I'll show you it. But I thought in my heart, this son has not come yet, and I think he will not come today, it is better to show this girl a look, maybe this girl will fall in love with the clay puppet, but don't lose this rare deal.

Wang Po took out two brocade boxes, put them on the counter, and said to Xia Chengyi: "These two were bought by a son, one is a poultry puppet and the other is a female puppet, do you want to take a look?"

Xia Chengyi is very familiar with this brocade box, and there are thirty-one in the boudoir at this moment. Reaching out to take the brocade box, opening it gently, what caught my eye was a pair of mandarin duck puppets.

"Unexpectedly, Brother Yuanchen was going to give me a mandarin duck this time, but unfortunately he didn't come to pick up the puppet, and hurried to Anxian Jinzhou. Xia Chengyi looked at the pair of mandarin duck mud puppets in a daze, and couldn't help but think about it, the more he thought about it, the more bitter he felt, and his heart hurt even more.

"I only hope that the Meifu family is safe and sound, and he will return as soon as possible. ”

After reading the poultry puppet, Xia Chengyi took another brocade box, opened it gently, and saw that it was actually a bride doll inside! Xia Chengyi looked at it, and suddenly his eyes moistened.

"He actually wants to give the begonia bride and girl, isn't this about to get married,...? Begonia treats him so well, and they have grown up together since childhood, where can I compare? I'm afraid that they will stay in Anham, and they will never come back, leaving me here alone..."Thinking of this, I couldn't bear the sadness anymore, and cried on the counter.

When Wang Po saw it, she cried out, "Ouch". The wisteria outside the door also hurriedly followed, and hurriedly called, "County Lord, what's wrong with you?" When Wang Po heard Wisteria call Xia Chengyi "County Lord", she was suddenly frightened.

Seeing that Xia Chengyi was only crying and not answering, Wisteria was very anxious, and asked Mrs. Wang: "Mother-in-law, why did you bully my county lord?"

Hearing the essence of Wisteria's question, Wang Po was so frightened that she cried and said: "The girl is clear, the old woman doesn't dare to grow a hundred guts! How does the mother-in-law know how to offend the nobleman?"

Wisteria listened, hurriedly walked to the counter, took the brocade box and looked at it, and saw that the two clay puppets were actually mandarin ducks and brides. Then I picked up the clay puppet and looked at it carefully, only to see two words engraved under the seat: pairs and pairs. Seeing this, Wisteria immediately had a measurement, and Xia Chengyi said: "County Lord, Yuanchen Gongzi likes you very much!"

Xia Chengyi's crying gradually slowed down, and he sobbed: "He's going to marry Haitang, where is my place next to him?"

"The young man of Yuanchen is a little bigger, and he actually wants to marry the county lord and the begonia girl together!"

Xia Chengyi knew that Mei Yuanchen was reluctant to marry Begonia, because he had always regarded Begonia as his own sister, but now he was sad that he just wanted to marry Begonia but left himself. "He doesn't like me anymore, he just wants to marry Begonia!" Xia Chengyi cried.

"County Lord, haven't you seen what the clay puppet is written?" Wisteria suddenly realized, and asked Xia Chengyi with a forced smile.

After crying for a while, Xia Chengyi's mood eased a little and replied, "I naturally saw it." Suddenly remembered that he only looked at the inscription under the female doll's seat, and did not look at the words under the mandarin duck clay doll, so he hurriedly stood up, took the mandarin duck clay doll and looked at it, and his face turned from crying to laughing.

"It turns out that this one is not a 'mandarin duck', but a 'pair'. What was given to Begonia was 'Pairs', and what was given to me was 'Pairs', Brother Yuanchen actually pleaded with the two of us at the same time!"
