Chapter 118 on

It is said that Ma Long and Hu Xiucai are watching and playing in a small pavilion on the edge of the West Lake, at this time, they hit a young man who walked in outside, this person is named Wen Fenglai, this is just his own words, there is nowhere to test, this Wen Feng is extremely talkative, ask one answer ten, draw inferences from one another, it is really like a river, at this time, Ma Long asked: "I heard that there is a Wenfeng Tower near this West Lake, and what white lady is suppressed below, but there is such a thing." ”

Hu Xiucai smiled: "That's just a legend, how can it be taken seriously." ”

Wen Feng came to a serious and said: "If you talk about this West Lake, I know best, Wenfeng Pagoda is not far away, take two brothers to watch and play together, I will first tell you about the Wenfeng Pagoda and the White Lady, the scenery of this West Lake, the mountains and rivers reflect each other, during the Xianhe period of the Jin Dynasty, the river water soared, surging, and rushed out of the water an iron bull, the iron bull was full of golden light, and then the water receded, the cow went to Beishan, and disappeared. It is said that the whole city of Hangzhou, which was a sensation at that time, was known to everyone and to everyone.

Hu Xiucai and Ma Long listened with relish, and Ma Long asked: "Don't you want to talk about the White Lady, what does Tie Niu have to do with this White Lady?"

"This iron bull led to the Golden Bull Temple. It is because of this iron bull that a golden bull temple was built later, and the west gate of Hangzhou is also called Yongjinmen, which is how it came. At that time, there was a monk from the Western Regions, the legal name: Hun Shouluo, to this Wuling County, that is, to see the scenery, out of the city to play and see a mountain, it turned out to be flying from somewhere else, called Vulture Mountain, just when I was looking, suddenly out of the mountain out of a white ape, that is called a white, the whole body is as white as snow, every hair is white. Just in front of this mountain, there is another pavilion called Cold Spring Pavilion. There is also a lonely mountain under this West Lake, Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty, Bai Lotian built a road here, until Cuiping Mountain, north to Qixia Mountain...."

At this time, when Ma Long heard the three words of Cuiping Mountain, he remembered his hometown, so he asked: "Cuiping Mountain, but Cuiping Mountain outside Bianjing City?"

Hu Xiucai said with a smile: "Brother Xian, there are so many Cuiping Mountains in the world, how can there be Cuiping Mountain outside Bianjing City." ”

Ma Long listened, did not speak, continued to listen to this Wen Feng to say, Wen Feng continued: " So this road is called Bai Ti Road, more than ten years ago Su Dongpo, Su University scholar, in Hangzhou to do too shou, because I saw that the road here was washed away by water, but also allocated the official silver to repair, then installed the vermilion railing on the six bridges, and on the edge of the West Lake, planted peach trees and willow trees all over, a spring, it can really be described as peach red willow green, beautiful, and later called this embankment for; Su Gong Dike, this front to tell you is some of the scenery of the West Lake, the following I will talk about the story of the White Lady, that Xu Xian, in the Qingming season to this West Lake to play, the Qingming Dynasty rain, the road pedestrians want to break the soul, by asking where the restaurant is, the shepherd boy refers to Xinghua Village。 Xu Xian played all the way, walked through the Xining Bridge, the lonely mountain road, the four holy views, to the Liuyi Spring, was idle, at this time, only to see the dragon hanging on the edge of the sky, falling a slight drizzle, and then blowing a strong wind, this Qingming season, exactly, urging flowers and rainstorms, has been not able to fall, Xu Xian wet his feet, simply took off his shoes, put them in his hands, but walked barefoot, walked out of the four holy temples to find the boat, this rainy day, the boat drove away early, but did not see a boat, Xu Xian was anxious, at this time an old man rocked a boat over, this rocking boat and Xu Xian knew, Xu Xian shouted Zhang Ah Gong, this Zhang Ah Gong knew that it was Xu Xian, hurriedly put the boat on the shore, let Xu Xian get on the boat, Xu Xian took the boat until Yongjinmen went ashore, thanked Zhang Ah Gong, Xu Xian walked all the way to Fengle Building, was walking, there was a beautiful woman on the opposite side, wearing white sideburns, pulling a bunch of dark clouds, diagonally inserting a few golden hairpins, wearing a white skirt, this is the white lady, except for the hair is black, the whole clothes are white, the shoes are white, and the skin is called a white!

Ma Long and Hu Xiucai were also fascinated by what they heard, and Ma Long urged: "You are here to talk quickly!"

Wen Fenglai cleared his throat and continued: "The white lady is followed by a little maid, this maid is called Xiaoqing, wearing green clothes, combing two sheep's horn braids on her head, with a red head rope wrapped around the braid, and two hairpins inserted. ”

Ma Long asked: "This little green, the skin won't be green, just now you said that the white lady's skin is white." ”

"Of course it's not green, this Xiaoqing's skin is called a tender, it's simple, it can be broken by blowing, Xu Xian is opening his head, looking east and west, not paying attention, is crashing into the white lady, Xu Xian saw that he hit someone, and hurriedly made an apology, this white lady not only was not angry, but also smiled gently, and asked Xu Xian if it hurt, do you think, can it hurt, that's it, Xu Xian and the white lady are known to each other, they know each other, and then Xu Xian went back, and after a few days Xu Xian went to the West Lake to play, but it rained again, and he didn't bring an umbrella around, but he happened to meet the white lady........” Hearing the wind, I told the legend of the White Lady, and the sound and color of the talk were colorful, and Ma Long and Hu Xiucai, who listened to it, were fascinated. Wen Feng talked for half an hour before finishing speaking, after Hu Xiucai and Ma Long listened, they were still a little unsatisfied, and when it was noon, Wen Feng said: "It's noon at this time, why the three of us meet today is also fate, let's go have a drink together." I had lunch and took you to Wenfeng Tower. ”

Hu Xiucai and Ma Long both said: "Exactly!" The three of them left the pavilion, went all the way into the city, walked to Ximen Street, next to a restaurant, the three of them entered the store and sat down, and the shopkeeper came over to greet him: "What do the guest officers eat?"

Hearing the wind, he said: "West Lake drunken fish, to be fresh, white chicken shreds, chicken to black-bone chicken, dry fried green beans, spicy flower nails, spicy pork knuckles, pickled pepper phoenix feet, ,......." Wen Feng ordered more than a dozen dishes, and asked for a pot of wine, after a while, the shopkeeper moved the wine and dishes out and put them on the table, "The guest officer is slow to use, if you have something, just order!"

The three of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and it was very reasonable, and they ate wine for more than an hour, and when they heard the news, they said: "Since Brother Hu is going to take the exam, it is better to go with me, and I am also thinking about going to Jinling to take the exam." ”

Hu Xiucai said: "If the virtuous brother is also willing to go with him, this journey will be interesting, hahaha." ”

"Then without further ado, let's go to the mule and horse market to buy a horse first, and we will go with the two brothers tomorrow!" Wen Feng said anxiously.

"That's very good!" Hu Xiucai called the shopkeeper to come over and calculate the money for the wine and food, Wen Feng came to fight to pay the bill, the three of them went to the mule and horse market in the city, Wen Feng took Ma Long and Hu Xiucai around the market a few times, this horse looked, that horse looked, and finally saw a middle-aged man at the end of the market, leading a black horse, Wen Feng came and pointed out: "This black horse is really strong, and go to ask the price." As they spoke, the three of them came to the black horse, and when they heard the wind, they came to see the horse's teeth, gestured with their hands, measured the horse's height and length, and then asked, "How much is this horse?"

The middle-aged man saw Wen Feng and the three of them coming to the front of the horse, and after checking it, Wen Feng came to ask him the price, and said, "Fifty taels of silver, the real price!"

Wen Fenglai turned his head to look at Ma Long, and then looked at Hu Xiucai and said, "Fifty taels of silver, what do you think?" Hu Xiucai said: "I don't know horses either! ”

"Don't look at me, I'm also a layman to horses!" Malone pouted.

Hearing the wind, he said to the middle-aged man: "Please put the saddle on, I'll try this horse, and even buy the saddle with the saddle." ”

The middle-aged man stood up, put the saddle on the horse's back, tied the belly belt, at this time, Wen Feng came to pull the saddle on the horse, the middle-aged man who led the horse, did not want to hand over the horse reins to Wen Fenglai, turned his head and saw that Wen Feng came with three people, even if he rode a horse, there are two companions here, the middle-aged man looked at Hu Xiucai and Ma Long, and then handed the horse reins to Wen Fenglai, which Wen Feng came to urge the horse to go out of the market.

Hu Xiucai and Ma Long saw that the wind came and went to try the horse, so they had to wait here, but when they heard the wind, they were like Zhao Xiaoer sending the lampstand, and they never came back. Gradually, until the sky was numb, all the horse sellers and horse buyers in the market were scattered, leaving only the middle-aged man who sold horses and Hu Xiucai and Ma Long. Hu Xiucai waited impatiently, and said to Ma Long: "Let's go back to the inn, this person won't come back as soon as he goes." ”

Ma Long nodded, and the two walked away, and the middle-aged man hurriedly got up and grabbed him: "You want to go, pay the horse money fifty taels of silver first!"

Hu Xiucai argued in surprise: "I didn't buy your horse, why should I ask for money." ”

Ma Long also said: "You man is so unreasonable, who bought your horse, you go and ask who to ask for money, what's the matter with holding us for no reason?"

The middle-aged man who sold the horse was anxious: "The three of you are in a gang, first the young man deceived my horse, and now you want to leave, there is no such cheap thing, and go to the prefect's yamen to reason." ”

"Go and go, who is still afraid of you, but we didn't buy your horse, but we have to pay you for the horse. Hu Xiucai argued, Ma Long was also angry for a while, shouting loudly, the three of them pulled all the way to the Hangzhou prefect's yamen, the middle-aged man stepped forward to beat the drum and voice grievances, and then the door of the house was wide open, and the three classes of the government were promoted to stand on duty, the prefect Wu Yi had just eaten dinner, and was gossiping with his wife in the back hall, and heard the drums in front of him, and ordered his subordinates to serve and change clothes, wearing soap-colored soft-winged scarves, wearing four grades of Shu brocade official mansion, hanging jade belt from his waist, and stepping towards his boots, and striding to the lobby, gathering three classes of officials, and Wu Zhifu sat on the high hall:" Bring the drummer to the hall!" "Below, the official came out and brought the middle-aged man who sold horses, along with Ma Long and Hu Xiucai, to the hall, and the officials on both sides shouted "mighty......................mighty................... mighty." ”

The prefect Lord Wu slapped the wood on the desk in shock: "When you see this mansion, you still don't kneel!"

The middle-aged man and Ma Long, who sold horses, knelt down in the hall, but this Hu Xiucai did not kneel, Hu Xiucai waved upwards and said: "Back to the master, he is a show talent in his later life, so he can be exempted from kneeling." ”

Governor Wu said, "Well, just stand and talk." Who was beating the drum just now? ”

The middle-aged man who sold horses said: "It is the drum that Xiaomin beats." ”

"Who is your name, and what grievances do you have, tell me slowly. Governor Wu said, while looking at the few people below.

The middle-aged man who sold horses knelt down and said, "Xiaomin doesn't have a surname, and he doesn't name anyone. ”

When the people in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but be a little amused, and Governor Wu explained: "I'm asking you what your surname is and what your name is." Hey, it's terrible to be uneducated!"

The middle-aged man who sold horses said: " The lord said so, the grass people know, the grass people surnamed Zhang, double name Bangchang, relying on horse sales for the business, a few days ago from the north to buy a black horse, today in the mule and horse market to sell, came three people, one of the young man, and I told the price of the horse fifty taels of silver, then, said to try the horse, then I rode my horse away, but did not pay the silver, only left the two people who came with the side here, in the end, the son who rode my horse did not turn, I can only ask him to come with the two people to ask for horse money, but he two in vain, please Qingtian Lord for the grass people!”

Governor Wu turned his head and asked Ma Long and Hu Xiucai again, the three of them spoke in unison, Hu Xiucai said: "The person who rode his horse claimed to be called Wen Fenglai, and we also met him when we were playing in West Lake today, but I don't know who this Wen Fenglai is." ”

The prefect thought about it again and again and said: "That's it, Hu Xiucai, you either pay this horse silver, and when you are caught and heard, you will return your silver, if you refuse to pay this silver, you can only put the two of you in prison first, and when Wenfeng is arrested, the case will be interrogated and understood, and then you will be released." Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to Zhang Bangchang, who sells horses. ”

Hu Xiucai thought secretly: If he is imprisoned, when will he catch the news, he can only break the fortune and avoid disaster. "Master, if you take the late student to prison, won't you miss the exam period." Later in life, he was willing to pay the fifty taels of silver. ”

Wu Zhifu said: "You should spend money to buy a lesson, and you can't trust strangers as easily as this in the future." ”

Hu Xiucai had to go to his arms and find out fifty taels of silver to pay Zhang Bangchang, the prefect retreated, Hu Xiucai and Ma Long out of the prefect's yamen, it was already the time of the card, the two of them went back to the inn dejectedly, ate some rice casually, and went to bed early. Neither of them spoke. Got up early the next morning, calculated the money for the house, Hu Xiucai looked at the silver in his hand, there were only more than 20 taels left, and he had no intention of playing again, rode out of the east gate of Hangzhou, all the way forward, on the road for more than one day, to the bottom of a mountain, but at this time it was already the middle of the day, and it was the weather in April and May in early summer, the sun was like fire, the two walked hungry and thirsty, and saw a village halfway up the mountain from a distance, Ma Long said: "Look! There is a village over there, and where to rest." After Ma Long finished speaking, he just looked forward, and then he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, looked back, and immediately sat a young man, who was really beautiful, with white clothes fluttering, carrying a sword, and shining red tassels. After a closer look, he recognized that this boy was the same boy he saw when he was eating in the Drunken Immortal Building, Ma Long didn't know that this boy was a woman dressed as a man, and shouted loudly: "Oh! Why are you here too, what a coincidence." ”

Huang Xiujuan rode a horse, looked at it, and said in her heart: Why did you meet this stupid big man again. He pretended to ignore it and rode away on his own. Marlon complained in the back: "Why is this person like this." ”

Hu Xiucai said: "You go yours, what do you care about others." I've hit a nail in the coffin. ”

The horse that Huang Xiujuan was riding was a thousand-mile sweaty horse, with a fast foot, and after a while, he walked in front of Ma Long and them. At this time, Wang Shi also rode the old horse and followed. Wang Shi saw his son Hu Xiucai and his apprentice Ma Long in front from a distance, so he dismounted. He sat under a tree on the side of the road, and thought to himself: Let's wait for them to walk a little first, hey, these two, they are too slow, and my old horse is faster than them.

Ma Long and Hu Xiucai slowly rode their horses and walked to the village halfway up the mountainside, as soon as they entered the village, they saw three loess houses beside the road, covered with green tiles, in front of the house, two big yellow cypress trees, like two big umbrellas, and a bamboo pole at the door of the house carried a wine flag.

"Oh! It's finally here, it's really cool under the tree, and the shopkeeper will get some water to feed the horses." Ma Long turned over from the horse and called out, and then a middle-aged man in his fifties came out of the house, stepped forward and hugged his fists and saluted: "Guest officer, please come in, the horses and livestock will be handed over to me," The man led the two horses to the stable behind the house to feed some forage.

Ma Long and Hu Xiucai walked into the house, and as soon as they entered the house, they saw Huang Xiujuan also sitting on the side of a cypress eight immortals against the wall, serving a bowl of wine, Ma Long and Hu Xiucai sat down at the table by the door, at this time, a woman in her fifties in the store hurriedly came to greet her: "What are the two guest officers eating?" ”

Ma Long said: "The weather is really hot, do you have anything in this store to quench your thirst and relieve the heat, hurry up and bring it to us to relieve the heat." ”

The proprietress said with a smile: "Our store has home-brewed rice wine, sweet and sour, the most thirst-quenching and heat-relieving heat, I will give two bowls to the two guest officers." Then on top of some beef, how. ”

Hu Xiucai said: "This is the best, and bring the beef and rice, and we will eat it and go on the road." ”

The proprietress agreed to go in, and after a while, she brought two bowls of rice wine, and then brought out a plate of beef and two bowls of rice and put them on the table. Ma Long and Hu Xiucai were eating by themselves, and at this time Wang Shi also walked in, because he covered his face with his hair, Ma Long and Hu Xiucai did not recognize him. Wang Shi sat down at the table next to the counter and asked for a bowl of rice and a few vegetables to eat. At this time, Huang Xiujuan turned her head to look at Wang Shi, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile, this Taoist chief can tell fortunes and look at appearances, Wang Shi suppressed his voice and said a little hoarsely: "Does this ..... son want to tell a hexagram?" Wang Shi looked at Huang Xiujuan, and secretly thought in his heart: This son is really beautiful, and it is estimated that he should be a woman. There was a bit of daughter's breath between the eyebrows.

Huang Xiujuan said: "Then bother the Taoist chief to calculate a hexagram for me." ”

Wang Shi took out six copper coins from his sleeve and threw them on the table, but he got a hurdle. "What did Childe ask?"
