Chapter 202: Repaying the Favor?
Xu Xianwu is pounding medicine in Qingyu Hall, there are a large number of porcelain jars displayed in front of him, the jar body looks a little old, at a glance, you can know that there are some years, which contains many herbs, wood incense, Ganoderma lucidum, He Shou Wu and so on.
He was an apprentice in Qingyutang, in addition to studying some scriptures that recorded the way of medicine, he also had to do some things such as going up the mountain to collect medicines, grinding herbs, distinguishing medicinal properties, etc., and put what he learned into practice.
Xu Xian lowered his head and didn't say a word, only his body and arms swayed back and forth because of the grinding action, a little sweat dripping down his face, and there was a trace of confusion about the road ahead in his eyes.
More than ten years have passed, nothing has been accomplished, and when fate comes and goes, there are worries.
After a long time, he sighed lightly, put down the medicine pestle in his hand, and suddenly heard a guy outside the house shouting: "Xu Xian, is the medicine ordered by the shopkeeper to be ground yet?"
The voice came first, and the talent came later, it was a guy in this Qingyu Hall who ran the hall, and when he saw Xu Xian, he saluted, with a smile on his face, in the eyes of the people in the market, although Xu Xian retired from the academy, he was also a real scholar, and he was extremely respectful.
Xu Xian hurriedly packed up his thoughts, took a few samples from the many herbs that had been ground in front of him, wrapped them, handed them to the guy, and said with a smile: "It's already ready! ”
The guy heyed, took the medicine and left, Xu Xian looked up at the sky, but found that it was dusk, the sky was gloomy, first went to the front hall to inform the shopkeeper, and then walked towards home.
But he didn't notice that in the shadow behind him, there was a white figure staring at him.
The moonlight is bright tonight, beautiful as a man, the moonlight is sprinkled, the heaven and the earth are bright, there are still many pedestrians on the street, Bai Suzhen followed Xu Xian all the way, and she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.
After knowing that Xu Xian was the benefactor that his family was looking for, he always paid attention to his every move, so as to seek an opportunity to repay his kindness.
These days, about the many rumors circulating in the city, naturally I have also heard of it, these days to see my benefactor depressed, a look of distraction, lost soul, I can't help but feel a little worried.
Finally found an opportunity, Bai Suzhen came to Xu Xian's side and said, "This minister, please stay for a while." ”
Xu Xian raised his head when he heard the sound and looked forward, only to see that under the moonlight, the white-clothed boy who looked a little weak and had a delicate face was standing in front of him, and he seemed to look at himself with a slight smile on his face.
Xu Xian first saluted, and then said, "Is the right boy calling me?" There was a bit of doubt on his face.
This white-clothed boy has changed since Bai Suzhen, she originally wanted to appear in front of Xu Xian in her original appearance, but thinking about the next thing, it was inconvenient to act as a woman, so she had to turn into a man.
Bai Suzhen stood in front of Xu Xian, and seemed to be a little nervous in her words, and said: "In the next place, he is a wandering monk, and he makes a living by telling hexagrams and interpreting signs for others on weekdays.
Xu Xian glanced at Bai Suzhen, he had been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and was deeply affected by the words in the book, he didn't believe in these things of God and Taoism, and he would have refused if he met someone who had a conversation, but these days he had been troubled by the prefect's daughter, and he was sad and irritable.
Therefore, after a glance at the white-clothed boy transformed by Bai Suzhen, he sighed and said, "What this Taoist chief said is good, Xiaosheng has indeed had a troublesome matter recently. ”
So he chose the prefect of Hangzhou as his son-in-law, how he was chosen, and what happened slowly in recent days, at the end, he sighed: "I know that I am not worthy of the prefect's daughter with my background and ability, but if I am really withdrawn and the other party refuses to admit it, I am afraid that the face of my Xu family will be lost by me." ”
Hearing this, a hint of strangeness flashed in Bai Suzhen's eyes, and she said with a smile: "I see, listening to you, this matter is indeed the other party's fault." ”
She paused for a moment, looked directly at Xu Xian's face, and said, "I only want to ask you, do you really love that woman?"
Xu Xian's face was slightly red, he was already introverted, how could he have thought that the other party would ask such a question so bluntly, he was speechless for a while, his eyes wandered, and he stammered: "I...... I ......"
Bai Suzhen saw that he was hesitating, so she said again: "Manly man, love is love, hate is hate, what is there to hesitate?"
In her opinion, a good man is as strong as iron, standing up to the sky, like a high mountain and a strong rock, deep in the sea, dare to love and hate, dare to act.
After Xu Xian heard her words, he seemed to be slightly stimulated, and suddenly raised his head and said, "What the Taoist said is right, I fell in love with Miss Xianglian at first sight and fell in love with it. In her heart, she was on the mandarin duck floor, and Gu Xianglian turned around.
Bai Suzhen finally heard Xu Xian's exact answer, and her heart moved slightly, since Xu Xian liked the prefect's daughter and couldn't get it, if she managed to complete this beautiful thing, would it be considered a gesture to repay her kindness?
Even though it can't withstand the life-saving grace of a thousand years ago, it is finally the beginning of understanding this cause and effect for yourself!
After thinking about it, he heard Xu Xian on the other side ask: "Since the Taoist chief can calculate the fortune for others, I don't know if he can also give me a hexagram to see if I have a relationship with the prefect's daughter?" A pair of eyes looked at Bai Suzhen expectantly.
After Bai Suzhen heard Xu Xian's words, she smiled slightly and said, "Everything is due to fate, why are you in a hurry?"
Xu Xian was puzzled, and when he was about to look for it, he was surprised to find that there was still the figure of the white-clothed Taoist in front of him, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Bai Suzhen left Xu Xian, so she turned into her original appearance, and secretly said that since Xu Xian was interested in the woman, and the other party took the initiative to throw the hydrangea to him, she also liked Xu Xian in her heart.
I must try to fulfill these two people.
Thinking of this, he got up and turned into a light and rushed to the prefect's mansion, but in a few moments, he had already come to the sky above the prefect's mansion, and he fell to the ground with a vertical body.
first cast a spell to hide his figure, and then let go of his divine sense, and soon found Gu Yan's father and daughter.
In her divine sense, Gu Yan left the hall with her sleeves full of anger, leaving only Gu Xianglian alone to wipe her tears on the spot.
Bai Suzhen is so smart, just by relying on this scene, he can determine that Gu Xianglian's heart belongs to Xu Xian, but she was blocked by her father.
Beautiful eyes blinked, the heart had a plan, nearly half an hour later, the night was dark, the moonlight was sprinkled like mist, the house was quiet, and only the sound of the watch could be faintly heard from afar.
Bai Suzhen stood in a rockery in the courtyard, hiding her figure, her jade fingers were sealed, and there were bursts of mana fluctuations on her body, and in the next moment, there was a somewhat transparent shadow jumping out of her top door Tianxin, her person was only a few inches in size, and her body was full of positive yang breath, but her face was exactly the same as Bai Suzhen, it was the yang god she had cultivated.
Bai Suzhen's Yang God went straight to the prefect Gu Yan's room, and saw the door and wall in front of him as if there was nothing, and passed through.
Once a cultivator has cultivated the yang god, he can be called a great monk, but the deity sits on the ground, the yang god is out of the body, swimming between heaven and earth, no longer full of yang fire, even if he encounters yin and evil poison, he is not afraid at all, just a turning technique, he can instantly cross the distance of thousands of miles, and return to his own body.
And there is no difference between the yang god and the deity, and even because he is free from the shackles of the physical body, the power between the spells is even greater.
Therefore, once the monk reaches this realm, he will generally find a blessed place, set up a forbidden array outside, protect his body, and then swim out of the body, sweeping all over the world.
The only fly in the ointment is that although the Yang God is strong, after all, it is the condensation of the power of the monk's divine soul, and he is extremely restrained by the Taoist techniques and magic weapons aimed at the divine soul.
After entering the room, Bai Suzhen saw that the prefect Gu Yan was sleeping peacefully on the couch, only to see her Yang Shenyu pointing a little, and with a spell of mana, there seemed to be a bright light bolt flashing in the room, penetrating the void, and there seemed to be a rumbling thunder in the void.
The prefect Gu Yan was awakened by this loud noise, sat up from the bed suddenly, his forehead was already full of sweat, and he turned his head to look out the window, but saw a figure about a foot high, with the holy Buddha's light flowing and wandering in the void.
When he saw the appearance of the figure, it was exactly the same as the portrait of the Bodhisattva he worshipped, Gu Yan was startled, and he didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he got up and knelt on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully: "Xiaomin Gu Yan knocks to see Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
But it was Bai Suzhen who changed into Guanyin Bodhisattva, saw Gu Yan kneeling, and said: "Gu Yan, your daughter Xianglian and that Xu Xian are wishful thinking, there is a red thread in the hands of the old man Yue, and the fate has been decided, why do you want to forcibly break up the two of them?"
When Gu Yan heard this, he immediately lowered his body and said in fear: "What the Bodhisattva teaches is that it is all to blame the disciples for loving vanity and paying attention to etiquette. I will never stop the two of them in the future. ”
Seeing Gu Yan's appearance, Bai Suzhen couldn't help nodding slightly, and escaped out of the room with a streamer.
Gu Yan knelt on the ground for a long time and didn't see any response, he raised his head boldly, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the figure of the Bodhisattva, but when he thought of the scene he saw just now, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
Bai Suzhen Yang Shen returned to his body, smiled slightly, and felt that the matter had been done, so he turned into a white mang and rushed towards Baifu.
On the second day, Gu Yan got up early and sent someone to wake up his daughter, saying that he would never get involved in her and Xu Xian's affairs again, and said that he would invite Xu Xianji's sister and brother-in-law to the mansion later.
Gu Xianglian couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw that overnight, her father seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, not only did he no longer force himself to marry someone else, but also agreed to have a relationship with Xu Xian.
But the fact is right in front of her, there are already people in the mansion who have come to invite Xu Xian to come, she no longer thinks about it, but she is full of joy in her heart.
At noon, Xu Xian and her sister and brother-in-law were invited to the house, and they were well entertained by Gu Yan.
Sister Xu Jiaorong's eyes were red, and she couldn't hold back her tears, feeling that she had let go of a big stone in her heart. Since the second elder left, she took the initiative to take care of her younger brother Xu Xian, and raised him with hard work, and now she is finally going to start a family and continue the incense for the Xu family, and she is worthy of her parents under Jiuquan.
It seems that this kind of news naturally can't be hidden from many people in Hangzhou, and the scene of the Xu family being invited into the Gu family's mansion was seen by many people, and suddenly news came out, the prefect did not break his promise after all, and recognized this son-in-law, I don't know how many people's eyes were red with jealousy.
And the previous rumors that said that the Gu family did not recognize this family matter completely disappeared from the streets and alleys for a while.
When Bai Suzhen in the Bai Mansion learned the news, a faint smile suddenly appeared on her face, doing this by herself, matching a lover and eventually becoming a family member can be regarded as a form of retribution!
Suddenly, I felt as if an invisible shackle had been removed from my body, and my heart was light.
It's just that love in this world is a small way after all, and what she has been seeking for thousands of years is to become an immortal and rank in the immortal class, compared to this, all kinds of fetters in the world can be let go.
When she first came down the mountain, she was very confident in her monastic thoughts, even if she stayed in this red dust for hundreds of years, her self-confidence would never give birth to fetters. But now this belief is a little shaken, Xiaoqing alone is something she can't give up easily, if it really comes to that point, can she really give up all this?
The people she loves and loves her.
Bai Suzhen stood in the pavilion, her eyes couldn't help flashing a little dazed, and for the first time she doubted her beliefs, this red world is easy to enter, but it is not so easy to get out.
For the first time, I found that in this world, in addition to becoming an immortal, there seems to be something else worth pursuing!
The wind blew on her body, and the white shirt swayed gently, setting off bursts of white waves, like summer lotus.
was out of his mind, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xiaoqing sitting sullenly on a stone slab lying on the edge of the canal, looking at the water in front of him with a pair of beautiful eyes.
walked up to her, sat down as well, and said, "Qing'er, why are you in a daze?"
Xiaoqing noticed her arrival, and then said, "No!
Bai Suzhen smiled, looked at Xiaoqing and said, "Let me guess, are you thinking about Qiao Xianggong!?"
"I ......"
Xiaoqing wanted to refute when he heard this, but he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word, and after a long time, the whole person seemed to be deflated, lying down on the stone slab, stepping on the green grass with both feet, pillowing his pair of jade arms, and said:
"Sister, do you think my temperament is really unlikable!?" There was a look of confusion in his eyes.
Just as a cool breeze blew, a white cloud floated in the sky.
