Chapter 34: Riddles
The monk of the broken hall said like a song inside: "Wine has an order, a sentence has a right, a lamp has a riddle, and a word has a clutch, all of which are sent by wisdom." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I have a riddle today, you say right, I will let you in, if you don't say it, don't want to enter my door." ”
The first over the wall smiled and said to the calf first: "Brother Niu, don't laugh." This bald donkey likes to joke with people the most, and he doesn't look like a monk. ”
The calf said first: "I'm not as happy, come and guess what kind of mystery you have." ”
The first climbed over the wall and shouted to the door: "Bald donkey, if you have something to say, let it go." ”
The monk of the broken hall slowly chanted: "Old is not old, small is not small, ashamed or not, is it good." ”
The first one laughed over the wall and said, "What's so difficult about this? Taigong is eighty and meets King Wen, and he is not old; Ganluo is the prime minister, and he is not small; he swallows it alone behind closed doors, is he ashamed? Everyone eats when the door is opened, okay?"
When the monk heard this, he laughed inside the door. The door creaked open.
The first climbed over the wall and looked at the broken monk, and said, "You bald donkey, since you are good at guessing riddles." I also come up with a riddle for you to guess, if you guess right, I will treat you to the city of Dachang Tower for dinner. If you don't guess right, you'll be able to wrap up today's lunch, how about it?"
The monk grinned and said, "Good to say! Good to say! A word is a certainty! Say it!"
The first over the wall thought about it, and said in a riddle: "The sky doesn't know, the earth knows, you don't know, I know." ”
The monk grabbed his bald head, thought about it, stared at the boots on the foot of the first wall, clapped his hands and laughed, and said, "There is a hole in the sole of your shoe." ”
The first over the wall sighed and said, "You bald donkey, you are still wrong!"
The monk said, "What's wrong?
The first one said over the wall: "Although there is a hole in the sole of my boot, there is a condition in my puzzle that you don't know, since you know that there is a hole in the sole of my boot, you are wrong!"
The monk smiled: "I don't know, I guessed." ”
The first one laughed over the wall and said, "You bald donkey, you can guess this." Looks like I'm going to have a treat with blood today. ”
The monk seemed to have just seen Niu Lixian and Wang Lishan and others, and hurriedly asked, "Who are these people?"
The first over the wall pointed to the calf first, and said, "Monk, let me tell you, this big brother is the calf first I once told you." These five girls were rescued by us from Kano on the way. ”
When the monk heard this, he hurriedly folded his hands and saluted the calf first: "Amitabha!"
The calf stood outside for so long, and then said angrily: "Amitabha, boiled radish is also delicious! If there is wine and meat, don't pick the good or bad, just come up, don't be verbose, and then start the meal." ”
The first over the wall blossomed again.
The monk also smiled: "Don't be in a hurry, please come in and sit down." ”
And they all went into the house and sat down.
The monk of the broken hall spoke to the calf first: "The poor monk broke the hall, when he was in Tanzhou, he heard the high name of the donor, like a spring thunder, and he had to donate generously from the donor, but he hated no side. Now the humiliation is coming, but he is disrespectful for a while, offends the donor, and asks for it. ”
Niu Xian didn't know what he was talking about, but only stared twice, glanced at the Potang monk, and then looked at the first wall.
The first over the wall hurriedly said: "Brother Niu, this bald donkey said that you once donated silver taels to him, and he expressed his gratitude to you!" and said to the broken monk: "You monk, you don't need such vain etiquette." Speak well, no one here can understand!"
Although the monk is more than ten years older than the calf and the first wall, he still calls the calf first according to the first wall, and says: "Brother Niu, I was just going to look for you, but I didn't want you and Brother over the wall to come here today." ”
The first person who went over the wall was a little surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Monk, what is the matter with you, you are going to find Brother Niu?"
The Potang monk said: "It's just because I saved a Western girl named Bai Zhu in this alley the day before yesterday, saying that it was Du Shenfei's sister who came to Linjiang Mansion with this Niu brother." ”
Niu Xian and the first over the wall listened, surprised, Niu Xian quickly pulled the arm of the broken monk, and asked, "Yes, she came with me, where is she now?"
The Potang monk said: "Brother Niu, don't worry, Miss Baizhu is fine now! I have arranged for her to stay in the inn." I'll go and meet you later, how about you?"
When the calf heard this, he came from heaven with great joy and said, "Ahhhh I was looking for her feet a few inches shorter, but you didn't know that you had saved her. ”
The first climbed over the wall and asked, "How did you save her?"
The monk said: "On that day, I was passing by the front street, and I saw two people flying on the eaves of this roof, running forward and backward. I saw that the person being chased in front of me was a Western woman, and the light exercise method was very similar to your 'no trace', but the heat was not good. I don't know what her relationship is with you. Seeing that this Western girl was about to be caught up by the people behind, I came to the rescue. Listening to this girl, she was deceived by Lu Fuhua of Jinfeng Palace with a girl named Yang Yusi and Xiaoshi to go to Jinfeng Palace. She found an opportunity to escape, but was chased by the people of the Nine Phoenix Tower. I was also curious about why her light gong body method was 'no trace', I asked her, but she said that she didn't know you, she was Du Shenfei's sister. ”
The first wall was surprised: "This thing is indeed strange, when I was four years old, my mother took me and my sister to marry my stepfather Deng Guifeng. My stepfather can also be said to be a great martial arts prodigy, and he created this set of 'no trace' light martial arts method, which was passed on to me and my sister throughout his life. When I was eight years old, my sister mysteriously disappeared and my mother told me that she had died of smallpox. I don't know where I learned this white bead?"
The Potang monk said: "She said that she learned it from his brother Du Shenfei. ”
The first one said, "Oh?"
Niu Lixian suddenly interjected: "Monk, have you seen Yang Yusi and Xiaoshi?"
The Potang monk shook his head and said, "I didn't see these two people, but I heard from Miss Baizhu that these two people had escaped before her, but now they don't know where to go." ”
The first over the wall was silent.
The Potang monk saw Wang Lishan and the other five girls, and asked, "Brother over the wall, these female donors, you rescued them from Na Kano, where will you go in the future?"
The first climbed over the wall and said: "Monk, I have to leave these few people to you to take care of for a few days, and when I find Brother Du and Miss Yang and others, I will bring them back to Tanzhou together." You are a monk, and I know that it is not very convenient, but this is a good deed, and I hope the monk will not shirk!"
The monk said: "How can a poor monk dare to excuse himself if he saves people's lives and wins the floating slaughter? Moreover, Buddhism is compassionate, and Guanyin Bodhisattva also uses his physical body to lure people into the Dharma." As soon as the poor monk leaves the family, he should have a compassionate heart, a good thought, uphold the will of the Bodhisattva, and be convenient everywhere to tide over the stubbornness of the troubled times. As long as you can beat your own heart, why be afraid of women?"
The first one smiled over the wall and said, "That's good! He looked at Wang Lishan and the other five people, and said, "It's not good! I don't think you five girls need to go, so as not to meet those people who hunt in the wilderness and cause unnecessary trouble, just sit here and wait, don't go out." I'll bring you some food. How?"
Wang Lishan and the other five all nodded yes.
