Li Buchun was walking on this mountain path with his guards and maids. Although this path was remote, it was not very remote. There were villages on both sides of the road. I would say that this path was lively. It's not very lively. The village is full of old, young, women and children. Maybe it's because it's close to Yangzhou City, and Yangzhou City is a city that can lead to other continents, with developed and convenient transportation.
Therefore, many young and strong men will choose to go to Yangzhou City for development. As for the old, young, women and children in the village, they will also grow some medicinal materials or some fruits and wholesale them to merchants in the city.
The old man took out the kettle and asked with a smile: "Sir, you have been walking all day, and you must be thirsty. Would you like a few drops of wine? It smells delicious."
The maid next to him walked up to the old man, snatched the wine bottle from the old man's hand with one hand, and said angrily: "Master, just drink it yourself, and you want to trick the young master into drinking it. If it is confiscated, you won't even have to drink it."
The old man said aggrievedly like a child who had done something wrong: "I just gave the young master what I think is the best, and the young master hasn't given me a reply yet. If the young master doesn't drink, you can give me my wine bottle." If you take it away, then I probably won’t even have the strength to walk. You know, it’s still a long, long way from the Wenxu Dynasty.”
Just when the maid was hesitating, the old man took the wine bottle back from the maid's hand with a "swish" sound, and ran to Li Buchun, making a face and saying: "Hey, I got it back. Yunxin is so stupid, When the time comes, how can you tell Master to let you travel far away alone with the young master?"
The maid named Yun Xin blushed with anger from her master, pointed at him and cursed: "Damn master, don't get caught by me. If you are caught by me, your jug will be confiscated from now on." After that, , Yunxin ran towards his master.
"Come here. Come here. If you catch me, I will call you master." The old man retorted.
Li Buchun reached out and opened the fan, and the two immediately became quiet and stopped fighting. Li Buchun put one hand on his forehead. It was because he was afraid that they would fight like this on the ship that they were kept in separate rooms. He thought they would be more peaceful when they came to Yinbinzhou, but unexpectedly they were still Like this.
"I said, Uncle Qiangwu, can you calm down for a while? At your age, plus Yunxin's age, they are both over eighty years old. There is no need to act like a child all day long and put yourself in trouble every day." Please annoy your apprentice." Li Buchun said a few words to Chen Qiangwu, then turned to Yunxin and looked at her again, waving his hand.
Yun Xin puffed up his breath, walked up to his young master, and lowered his head.
Li Buchun gently knocked on Yun Xin's head. Yun Xin said "ouch" and hugged his head.
"And you." Li Buchun looked at Chen Qiangwu and extended his palms.
Chen Qiangwu sighed and said: "Hey, okay, okay, the young master has said so, just listen to the young master." He reluctantly put the wine bottle in Li Buchun's hand.
Li Buchun put away the wine bottle and continued: "What else?"
Chen Qiangwu sighed again, turned to Yun Xin and said, "My good disciple, I'm sorry, it's Master's fault. Master shouldn't make you angry all day long. So, I'll give you these five copper coins." "
"Five?" Li Buchun asked.
"Those ten?" Chen Qiangwu looked at his young master and said.
Li Buchun still shook his head.
"Fifteen?" Chen Qiangwu said tremblingly, Master, please stop shaking your head. To me, fifteen is already a heavy bleeding. If you add more, you will kill me directly.
Li Buchun put away his folding fan and said with a smile: "Double it, thirty copper plates, and hand them over to Yun Xin immediately."
Chen Qiangwu felt a burst of lightning strike him, and the thirty copper coins were gone. Without good wine to drink, we can't play with fish, shrimps and crabs. The joy of existing in this world is gone.
"Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty. Exactly thirty copper coins. Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master." Yun Xin put the number of copper coins into his money bag and followed his Master with a smile.
A familiar figure walked out of a fork in the road. Li Buchun took a closer look. Isn't this young man in white the young hero Ling Fenglan? When he left was even more mysterious than that of Miss Shen Yingchun. As expected of a person with the word "wind" in his name, he is as free as the wind, coming and going without a trace.
However, Ling Fenglan naturally didn't know about these inner dramas. He only saw Li Buchun waving towards him like a child. The next moment, he would definitely run over and say to him, What a coincidence, Mr. Ling, Since we are destined, let's walk a little further together, provided that our direction is the same.
I saw Li Buchun running up to Ling Fenglan with great interest, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, Mr. Ling, since we are destined, why not walk a little further together, provided that our directions are the same."
Ling Fenglan nodded and said softly: "That's okay." For him, it didn't matter where he went. Anyway, he went down the mountain to practice, just to realize his own way. If there was Li Buchun, a walking collection of folklore, he might have learned more.
Ling Fenglan looked at the two people behind Li Buchun and asked, "Who are the two people behind?"
Li Buchun said with a smile: "These two are my followers, Yun Xin and Chen Qiang Wu."
"Then they also came here on the ferry with Mr. Li, or were they waiting for Mr. Li at Yinbinzhou?" They had never been seen on the ferry.
"Master Ling, it's true. As we said before when we were fishing on the boat, the two of them hid in the guest room because they were shy." Li Buchun said with a smile.
Yunxin and Chen Qiangwu walked up to Ling Fenglan with smiles, raised their hands and said, "Hello, Mr. Ling."
Ling Fenglan also gestured towards the two of them. Strange, they don't look like they would be shy.
"Haha, Mr. Ling, leave them alone. I heard from the villagers here that there is a temple in front of you called Pingshui Temple. The masters inside are amazing. And I heard that the vegetarian food there is delicious. Do you want to go and see it? For a moment?" Li Buchun said with a smile.
"Sir, you just finished your fasting meal at noon today, and you are eating again tonight? Aren't you tired? If you eat too much, you will get angry." Yun Xin said.
"Hey, hey, it's okay to have one or two meals. Besides, this is Yinbinzhou. It has the most doctors," Li Buchun said, looking towards the horizon.
"Well, actually, I just happened to be planning to go to that temple and have a meeting there." Ling Fenglan said.
"The right way? What is the right way?" Yun Xin asked.
"Due to the Tao is actually to sit together to discuss issues, debate principles, lectures, and answer questions and answers. When two people start, the more the better. Debating with the Tao is just like that, but people in some places like to call it this kind of thing. That's right. Girl, I asked you to read more books, but you don't." Chen Qiangwu said with a smile.
"Hey, it's natural to go up and watch such an interesting thing, so let's go now." Li Buchun said with a smile.
There are many children playing on the country roads. Some children sit on the backs of cows and let the cows eat grass, while he plays the reed flute on the back of the cows. He may be imagining that he is a wandering chivalrous warrior. The one sitting on it is not an ordinary cow, but the green cow that the saint sat down on is probably the same. Even if it is not the same, it is not much inferior.
Some children are chasing each other with paper kites to see whose paper kite can fly higher and whose paper kite reaches the fairy palace in the sky first, so that it can be seen by the fairy sister in the sky first. At night, there is the fairy master Enter your own dream and teach the most powerful skills in the world. The next day, you will show the peerless magic skills you learned in your dreams. Whoever wins will be the biggest winner.
Some children did not fight for anything, but just picked up straws in obscurity, so that they could be used when they went home to boil water at night.
Wherever the little shepherd boy goes, there is life under his feet and dreams on the horizon. Whoever you say is the happiest, probably, everyone is happy.
The group of four people looked at the scenery along the way and finally arrived at Pingshui Temple. A large incense burner was placed in front of the temple. The temple was very small, with only one room and was very simple. There was a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva on the platform. After entering the door, there is a blessing tree on the left. There is no prayer belt on it, and there are no oranges hanging on it. There is just a merit box under the tree.
On the right side of the door is a stove for cooking. There is also a small yard on the right, with a big tree in it. I don’t know what kind of tree it is. Beside the tree, there is a small house, which is probably where the host here lives.
There is only one abbot in the temple, who is also a master and a monk. In front of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he knocked on wooden fish and recited sutras. That sutra is "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra".
After waiting for about a stick of incense, the host put down the wooden fish in his hand, turned around and clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, several donors, enter this temple. Those who seek marriage, just express your thoughts towards the blessing tree. Pray for peace. Yes, just come to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and tell your thoughts in your heart. It is free to offer incense. If you want to contribute to the temple, the merit box is under the prayer tree. The more the better, and the less does not hurt."
The four of them also put their hands together and nodded.
"Host, I'm here to confront you," Ling Fenglan said.
The host laughed loudly and said, "Amitabha, how can a poor monk have such great wisdom and deal with the donor?"
"But, host, I have many questions, but I haven't found the answers yet." Ling Fenglan said.
"There are many things in the world that have no answers. It's not that there are no answers, it's just that you can't see the answers at this moment," the host said.
"There are many doubts. Even if the host doesn't confront me, please help me resolve my confusion." Ling Fenglan said, trying to take out the notebook that recorded many questions.
However, the host pushed him back and prevented Ling Fenglan from taking it out. He clasped his hands and continued: "The donor's heart is not calm. No matter how many times we talk to each other, the donor still can't listen. Then how can the donor realize what you want?" Where are the things?”
"There is a problem, but when the donor was walking, didn't he hear other people's opinions? Didn't he give the donor some guidance?"
The host pointed to the water tank next to the stove and said: "The water in this water tank is already full. If I go to fill a bucket of water and pour it back, it will still overflow. If I want to continue filling it, there is a way. There are two ways, either I use or dump the water in the water tank first, and put some new water in it. Or, I change to a larger water tank."
Ling Fenglan himself also realized that when he was walking outside, he would not be so impatient and just think about letting things happen. But as soon as I went to places like temples, Taoist temples, and studies, I was very anxious to find out the answer and see what other people thought.
The host looked at the silent Ling Fenglan and continued: "So what if there are many questions. So what if there is no answer yet. The road is far and long, and you will know the answer if you walk too much. Don't be in a hurry. If the donor mainly wants to meditate, poor monk It is recommended that the donor read more scriptures and see more of this world. There are many scriptures in front of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. The donor can choose the one he wants to read and read it."
The host looked past Ling Fenglan to Li Buchun and the others, and said with a smile: "Same with the donors."
Li Buchun waved his hand and said: "I just finished listening to the confrontation between Ling Shaoxia and the host. I don't need to read the scriptures. I just came here to try the vegetarian meal of the host. As for the two people behind me, I think they really want it too. Read more scriptures.”
When Yun Xin and Chen Qiangwu heard what their young master said, they decisively jumped back a few steps. The old man decisively walked out the door holding his own wine flask, drinking and waiting for dinner. As for the little girl Jia Jia, she naturally wanted her marriage to come sooner, so she secretly put a few coins into the merit box, bowed vigorously to the blessing tree a few times. I even thought about kneeling down and kowtow to the wishing tree a few times, so that Yue Lao could hear it earlier.
Is the conversation right? Everything you say has its own truth, and these words are already considered right? There are also good and evil words between words, good words encourage others, and bad words hurt others. In the conversation I just had with Benefactor Ling, wasn't it just to answer his questions?
The host looked at Li Buchun, clasped his hands together, and said with a smile: "Amitabha."
Chen Qiangwu and the host were cooking. Ling Fenglan sat in front of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, closing his eyes and chanting sutras and meditating. Yunxin ran to play without knowing where. As for Li Buchun, after applying three pillars of fragrance, he sat down In front of the temple.
The sun was about to set, and Li Buchun looked to the horizon. The hairpin on her hand is very old, but under the sunlight, the needle at the end of the hairpin is golden, and the ruby on the head is also shining.
A conversation between a mother and her son many years ago.
"Son, mother didn't give you anything. Even when you were studying in the study, she didn't have the money to buy you a single ink. Your father also left early and left nothing for us, mother and son. It's my father and mother. I'm sorry. This hairpin was given to your mother by your father, so she gave it to you." The woman's voice was very thin and weak, but she held the hairpin in her hand very hard.
The child turned his head aside, wiped away the tears and snot on his face, turned around and said with a smile: "Mom, what are you talking about? It will be fine. Mom, I didn't blame you and dad. No, life Aren’t you getting better gradually?”
The woman nodded and said: "Yes, life is gradually getting better. At least, we can eat meat. However, my mother is not living up to expectations. She has invited so many doctors to treat her illness. not good."
"It will be fine, everything will be fine," the child said.
The woman looked at her child with a smile and said with a smile: "You follow me, you look pretty enough. If you follow your father, I don't know if you can find a girl in the future, but it's okay to follow your father. He's so handsome. Okay, let's not talk anymore. Mom, let's go to sleep first. Will you have something to eat when you wake up? "
"Well, you'll have something to eat when you wake up. Mom, if you're tired, just take a nap first." The child wanted to cry, but didn't dare to cry. He was afraid that his mother would worry him.
In the end, my mother didn't wake me up, so the room lost its warmth.
The sun no longer shines on the hairpin, and the luster dims. Li Buchun's eyes also dim. Yes, the most skilled doctors in Yinbin Continent are doctors. One continent is equivalent to ten Gan Shu City, the three Medicine Immortals from Gan Shu City also established their sect here, and just a few years ago, two more became saints.
There is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. If you can last for one year, just one year, you will be saved. However, how can life defeat time?
