Chapter 2 second quarter

He followed him calmly.Straw shoes step by step, down-to-earth.The mirror in the sleeve flashed golden light against the rising sun, only to see the ghost image of the old monk—ah!That's a spider spirit! I didn't have time to tell Suzhen, she had already seen it.The mirror image suddenly disappeared from the monk's sleeve, and the old goblin disappeared in the crowd. I saw this monk, who seemed to be in his thirties, was looking around, his eyes shining brightly, and he was unwilling to give up.He hated: "In today's chaotic world, there is no distinction between humans and monsters. There are endless monsters in the world. If I don't plead for the people, who will go? If I don't go to hell, who will?"

He stood upright, paused his Zen stick, the ring sound was a bit loud, and he caught up boldly: "'Two ends cut off, one stick rests on the cold'! You beast, you can't run away!" ——Like an oath, it bluffs me! So serious and solemn, I can't help but make people laugh. Suzhen covered my mouth and reprimanded me with her eyes.I had no choice but to keep quiet, to be with her, and to follow them, watching a good show.To be honest, I have completely forgotten that I am also a "sick animal", so I just gloat. The dense forest is full of clouds.it's very windy.Two white shadows, one behind the other, left the ground and ran forward.

The monk caught up with him.Nonchalantly: "Teacher, good morning. Let's drop by, why don't we go together and play tricks on the world?" The old monk with white eyebrows and beard was a little alert.But after hearing it, he said: "Senior, I see that your excellency has become very much like a 'human'. You must have a higher level of Taoism than me. May I ask how long have you practiced?" When he heard that it turned out to be the same way, Fang relaxed: "Time flies like an arrow. It has been two hundred years in a blink of an eye. How about you?"

"Shame. I'm not even a hundred years old." "Well, no wonder, my body is still heavy, and I can't walk fast—" Before the words were finished, the demon mirror in the monk's sleeve suddenly appeared, and white eyebrows and beard burst out, the old goblin stretched out his eight claws, and vomited poisonous threads from his navel, showing his true nature. The monk scolded: "Evil animal! I am the monk Fahai of Jinshan Temple, and I will take you, you goblin!" He threw out the golden bowl, made mudras, and chanted the Buddha's name urgently: "Namo Amitabha!"

A storm blew up in the dense forest, and he pointed at him with angry eyes: "middle!" The old goblin was thrown into the bowl and let out a scream.beg: "Master Fahai, please be merciful, I have been practicing hard for two hundred years, and I only want to become an adult..." "Bah!" Fa Hai's young and aggressive face remained unmoved, "The heaven and the earth have their laws, this is the 'law', and it is my mission to do justice for the heavens!" "Please——" the spider's face changed drastically, and his eyes fell to the ground.His mouth was full of venom, his hands and feet were convulsed, and he couldn't stop shaking: "Master was born with wisdom roots, he was young and enlightened, he has never entered the world, and he doesn't know the joy of being a human being. I hope you will make it happen!"

"If I enter the world, I will be merciful, merciful, and great, and I will set boundaries for right and wrong, so that the world can see the light again! A monster is a monster, so why use nonsense!" Regardless of the struggle of the shaggy, black and hairy old man, he pushed a gazebo by the side of the road, threw the bowl down, put it at the bottom of the pavilion, and calmly straightened the gazebo.Clapping his hands, clean and tidy - it seems that his Excellency is used to it, and "suppressing demons" is the only way to make a living. Thanks to his immeasurable merits, he sat cross-legged in meditation, and his whole body glowed with white light.A rainbow slowly appeared behind him.

Suddenly, he pricked up his ears, and before the thunder could cover his ears, he suddenly turned to us behind the boulder. "what--" We both exclaimed, we don't know when the evil spirit leaked out.No, no, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to escape in this life. "Walk!" There was a thunderbolt, the sky was darkened by heavy rain, a crack appeared in the blue sky, and the water splashed down, taking advantage of this opportunity, he turned around and ran away. The rain whipped us, and the light clothes were wet to the skin, like naked clothes.Everything outside the body is a fetter, but fortunately, she is born with a soft and flexible waist, so if she doesn't care about it, she will run away.

The stunned monk behind him, the arrogant man who thought he was "doing justice for the heavens", was left far behind in a short while. "Sister, it's dangerous!" We looked at each other's wet female bodies, and couldn't help laughing—only a mere 200-year-old "children" were so easily accepted by others, so useless! After a long time of hustle and bustle, it was already evening when the rain stopped. Arriving here, the two of us coiled on the beams of the pavilion, attracted by a strange sound of music. I don't know what kind of woman it is, maybe it's from the Western Regions or Tianzhu.They danced to the weeping coquettish music.

Interesting. The soles of the feet and fingers are painted red, and the palms are also a little red. When dancing, they look like pairs of big eyes, blinking. The dancer's eyes were mischievous, and her neck was frustrating, her eyes were looking left and right, her eyebrows were dancing, and the silver bells on her feet kept ringing.Look at their clothes, they are really more gaudy than ours, black, orange, silver, pink, and gold.Snake-like waist—no, no, no, no, no matter how good you dance, how can it compare to our real ones. While the half-dizzy and half-excited musician who was taking Wushisan was plucking the strings, and was peeping at me, who was corrupted by the mortal dust, I slipped away.

Slip past its big signboard: "Wanhualou". Slip down the plank, past the wine cellar.It smells so good, stick your head in and take a few sips. Slipping past lingering whores and clients, sexually intimate men and women, unnoticed. I emerged from among the dancers. Breathe out a mouthful of green smoke, and calm down the scene first.Then, I reproduced the postures I had just seen one by one.The music comes on and I do better than all women because it's instinct.Is there any woman whose waist is bigger than a snake? Everyone was mesmerized, singing and dancing. I'm a little swayed.complacent.

Looking up, huh? Su Zhen disappeared. A white shadow dodges and escapes outside. So insecure, I had to follow her. The moonlight after the rain is as clear as silver.There are insects in the grass, like another torrential rain.In the water town, there is a printing bookstore, brightly lit. The bamboo stalks with the shells and green skins removed are soaked in the sink to form a thick liquid.Workers are chopping bamboo, and then add the thick liquid to another tank, cook it into a slurry, and pound it until it looks like mud. The pulp is poured into a flat mold, pressurized, and the water gets wet.The paper molds are formed, and workers paste them one by one on the hot wall to dry. When the dried paper was torn off, it was quickly embossed on the engraving block of the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra", ink was added, and printed. Everyone is busy. But I heard the voice of reciting verses. This is a Tang poem, which was written in the previous dynasty. The person who recited it saw his back, writing these sentences on a piece of hibiscus juice "colored paper". When I saw the young sister who was full of love, I was clearly attracted to him. Of course, compared to other workers, some dozed off with saliva hanging from the corners of their mouths and snored; some gathered together to gamble and drink; Men are different. A thick hand snatched his colored paper. "You poor scholar, my lord wants us to rush to print five hundred volumes of Buddhist scriptures, just waiting for you to engrave the Avalokitesvara statue, and you still only care about reciting worthless stinky poems?" After finishing speaking, the sweaty worker fisted Sejian into a ball and threw it aside. The scholar defends himself: "I'm just visualizing the appearance of Avalokitesvara." A blank sheet of paper was spread out in front of him: "Didn't you just think of Qiaoyun and Feiyan from Wanhualou when you 'written a sample'?" "How can a vulgar fan be handed down?" Although I can't see his face clearly, I can see his persistence in not wanting to write.Finally give up: "I'll carve again tomorrow." "If you can't hand it in tomorrow, you won't use it in the future." The worker sneered, "What's the use of your high heart? You won't be able to work for a long time, so go back home and run errands in the pharmacy. How can you make a fortune?" The scholar left silently. The light shone on his side, making it impossible to see clearly. On the verge of walking, he wanted to retrieve the poem just now. But nowhere to be found. Petals fell from the sky like flakes of snow. He stood still, flicked his sleeve, turned around, Suzhen saw it in the dark, her face flushed. The scholar picked up the falling flowers for no reason, a little surprised. I saw that Suzhen's spirit had attached to the petal in his hand, and I was ashamed. He is gone at last. She also ignored me.It turned out that the poems that had been gathered had been spread out carefully, and pasted on the chest of the clothes, intoxicated by the writing and ink on them.Act like no one else is around. Suzhen went home in a daze. I don't know what happened between the two of us, but the green and white evil spirit is so strong that it lingers in the sky. A blind man suddenly stopped and sniffed vigorously. We passed by it. The next day, get up very early. Calculate the time, and it will be triggered immediately. It's Ching Ming season, but when I woke up in the morning, the sky was clear and cloudless.There are people coming and going in the streets and alleys, many of them are going to the grave. Suzhen has ulterior motives and is dizzying.Her face was smudged red by spring, her eyes were beautiful and hungry, it was too hard to bear to see. This behavior is to "go deep into the people", and no longer roam around the lakeside embankment.We entered Shou'an Square, Flower Market Street, and crossed Jingting Bridge.Go to Qiantang Gate behind Qinghe Street, cross Shihan Bridge, pass the Fangsheng Monument, and go up to Baochu Pagoda Temple. Baochu Pagoda is located on Baoshi Mountain. According to legend, it was built by Wu Yanshuang, the prime minister of Wuyue King Qian Hongchu.Watching the monks chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall, filial sons and grandsons burning their sons to worship their ancestors and pray for blessings. "Xiaoqing, have you seen it? It should be here and now—" Before she finished speaking, her eyes had already been attracted. What a beautiful young man, with clear eyes, simple and pious.Wearing blue clothes, wearing a soap-colored head, carrying paper horses, candles, prayer flags, stacks of money, etc., came to honor the ancestors.I saw him talking with the monk.It's far away and I can't hear you clearly, but the one-hearted, undivided attention is very touching - if the person opposite is not a monk, but his woman... Not long after, I saw him leave the monk and wander away from the temple, passing Xining Bridge, Gushan Road, Four Sacred Temples, and came to Liuyi Spring. "Is this what you saw last night?" I followed Suzhen.Suzhen followed him. "Is this really this? You can't return it if you pick it. You should think twice." "--Yeah." "let's go." Suzhen suddenly shy: "How?" Hey, I've never seen her like this, it's disappointing.No matter how old she is or how many years she has practiced, once she is really moved, she will shrink back childishly. I'm upset: "Go up and tell him that you like him and are willing to stay with him forever... something like that." She hesitated: "How can I be so contemptuous?" "Frivolous? If you like him, what kind of twists and turns? Is it still the same result in the end?" She still hesitated: "I can't speak." "You are a thousand-year-old snake, not a superficial and boring person. How can you be contaminated with human vices and complicate all simple and beautiful things? Why don't you just tell him if you like him?" But I feel that Suzhen is useless, and I want to turn around and leave him. Immediately, turning around again, I said narrowly to her word for word: "You don't want it, I want it!" "No! Who said I don't want it?" She was anxious, "He is my favorite, I want him!" Seeing that the beautiful boy had already arrived at the bridge on the west bank, after crossing the bridge, he boarded a boat and went to the opposite side of the lake.And the two of us are still fighting halfway, to see who can catch him. "Look, he's leaving." "Xiaoqing—he's mine. Are you willing to thread a needle?" Forget it, she's an older sister, and she's more anxious than me. Let's keep people first. I recited the mantra together, suddenly there was a gust of wind, the willow branches trembled, clouds grew in the northwest, fog locked in the southeast, and it rained in a moment, destroying the flowers.The blue-clothed boy, with his sleeves blown fluttering, opened an umbrella in the smoky torrential rain. It's really a good umbrella, with a purple bamboo handle and eighty-four bones. It seems that it was made by the honest Shu family of Qinghu Baziqiao.Such a good umbrella, such a good person, can't withstand all the ups and downs.The Fang Xun guest became a man in distress.I couldn't help feeling pity, Suzhen couldn't bear it even more.Not far away, a small boat rowed under the willow tree. "Boatman, are you a passenger? I think of Shibamon." The boatman agreed, negotiated a price with him, and he boarded the boat.Without further ado, I immediately called out: "Boater, please wait!" Suzhen was pulled over: "With such heavy rain, there are no boats before and after. Can we take a ride?" The boatman pondered: "I'm afraid it won't go on the way. This guest is going to Qingbo Gate." "We are also going to Qingbomen." I answered eagerly. "Because the wind blows the fire, I don't use much force, let's go together." The boy ordered.Looking back, Suzhen's eyes meet.As the boat got closer, there was a long way to go from the bottom of the willow tree to the cabin.He held up an umbrella and came out to welcome him. "Be careful, don't let the rain wet your clothes. Jump into the boat slowly." Suzhen swayed her money weakly, as if she was about to fall into the water.He didn't care about the difference between a man and a woman, and he was in a hurry to grab her and support her. The boat swayed wittily for a long time. In the morning light under this umbrella, the rain falls like flowers, and the flowers twinkle like stars, which is the beginning of a dream.Suzhen is already intoxicated. Seeing that she enjoys tenderness, I intend to follow suit, and I put it on in a serious manner, but who knows that the two of them have already stepped into the cabin, and they can no longer control me.I made a mistake and almost fell into the water. Although I grew up in the water since I was a child, did I show my tail to play at this moment?He hurriedly grasped it with his toes and stood still. I'm so angry. When I arrived at the hatch, I saw two wooden boards as stools.The cabin is too small, we both sit in one, and he sits in the other, it seems extremely crowded.It was originally relative, but he couldn't sit still, and suddenly turned around, with his back to us, his head drooping.Not long after, he couldn't sit still, and suddenly opened his umbrella, and wanted to run to the bow of the boat. "Hey, sir, don't go." With this call, he was embarrassed to leave again.Seeing that he was honest, I didn't dare to be frivolous, so I had to do some of the most common things in the world, starting with "mother-in-law and noble surname", exchanging identities and backgrounds.It is said that prostitutes also started to face customers with this sentence, which shows that it is also a kind of truth.In less than a moment, his "interrogation" was over. The husband's surname is Xu Mingxian, from Qiantang, twenty-five years old, his parents died when he was young, and he took refuge in his sister and brother-in-law. Their pharmacy opened at the entrance of Guanxiang.The most important thing is that he hasn't married yet—of course, he is so poor, and still dependent on others, how can he have the ability to get married?It seems that only my sister likes him, half because of people, half because of sex. Who dares to say that love at first sight has nothing to do with hue? Suzhen listened carefully, then said to me artificially: "Xiaoqing, you asked Mr. Xu a lot of things, why don't you ask him what he wants to ask us? This is a courtesy." So I, who was caught in the cracks, asked Xu Xian again: "Sir, what do you want to ask our girl?" He pondered for a while, then said: "There is nothing to ask." I replied, "He has nothing to ask." Everyone is so close, looking at each other in blank dismay, and there is a middleman to pass the message, so annoying.I twisted around and slipped away.But where did the melon skin boat slip away?Just leaning against the side of the cabin, looking at the misty and rainy West Lake, the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon and Ruan Gongdun, in a daze.Annoying spring, annoying spring.In the end, I played the role of middleman and said everything in one breath: "The girl is Bai Suzhen, a native of Sichuan. My master used to be a conductor in Chuzhou. Unfortunately, my parents have long since passed away and were buried under Leifeng. Because the Ching Ming Festival is approaching, the girl brought me, Xiaoqing, to the grave to sweep the sacrifice. We are in Hangzhou , I haven’t met my relatives, I have no one to rely on, and it’s raining heavily, if it’s not for my husband, I’ll be carried by the boat, it’s really embarrassing.” Seeing that he was listening attentively and attentively, he said again: "I have fully told you about our life experience, what else do you want to ask?" "No more." Then everything fell silent. I'm really discouraged. For the first time in my life, when I came out to seduce a man, I met an unreasonable idiot.He is simply a bowl of failed osmanthus candied lotus root powder that shamed Hangzhou—too little sugar, too little water, sticky, sticky, and clumped together, not crystal clear at all. There are crystal-like transparent raindrops on the corner of Suzhen's forehead, which gently swim along the forehead to the corner of the eyes.She blinked slightly, and the raindrops slipped down quietly, passing through the pink cheeks and meeting the blush.Another drop of water on the tip of the nose also slides to the lips... Will these two drops of water collide and condense into one?Or greet at her pointed chin? Xu Xian didn't know whether to look at people or the rain. Suzhen turns her face away shyly and weakly. He couldn't get a solid answer. A little Yiyi. Suzhen pointed to the umbrella.I pretended not to see it. When we arrived at the shore of Qingbomen, he held up the umbrella, and seeing that our clothes were completely wet and we were helpless and unable to go on the road, he finally mustered up infinite courage: "Girl, lend me this umbrella—" I immediately took it: "Hey, Mr. Gong will pick it up tomorrow, thank you!"--this is a bit of a clue. The two sisters held an umbrella together, trying to curl up into the rain and fog.Xu Xian was a little shy: "Young lady, let's go." No.Suzhen looks back: "Sir, do you know where to get an umbrella?" "I don't know yet." "My family lives at the entrance of Shuangchafang Lane in Jianqiao. There is a small red door outside the apartment. I wrote a letter of 'White Apartment'——Xu Xianggong, can you arrive tomorrow?" "Rain or shine, we'll arrive." "Will the wind and rain not change?" "yes." So we, under his respectful sending, held an umbrella together and displayed our curly figure.Two snakes can be as beautiful as they walk.Glancing at the two of them, their eyes were entangled, and they hardly formed a cocoon of love. I'm sure this kid can't sleep peacefully tonight. In his sleep, his mind is racing for thousands of miles, and the waves, butterflies and bees are making trouble at five o'clock.It was only when the golden rooster crowed that he woke up from Nanke's dream. I am also wondering.I heard that men in the world are the same kind that make women sad.But the one in front of me, what ability can make a woman sad? Suzhen's gaze hits the nail on the head.Although he is a down and out person, he has a lot of meaning... In the end, the restless sleepers included me and the two of them. In the early morning of the next day, Suzhen had arranged the desolate house properly.A building at the entrance of Shuangchafang Lane in Arrow Bridge. Entering it is a big pink and green lotus pond. There are two gates, four in the middle to look at the street, and a fine vermilion curtain hanging in the middle. On the top chair, there are four ancient landscape paintings of famous people—they were stolen from no one knows where.As for herself, she took Longjing tea and stared blankly at the young leaves in the cup forming flowers, one flag and one shot, ups and downs. "Are you sure he'll come?" I asked. "Of course, he said that wind and rain never change." "Are you really confident?" I deliberately said, "What if he doesn't come?" "It will definitely come." After a short pause, she continued: "Go and see if the Hechi alley has been cleaned? Are the food and drink ready?" Oops, I was so sleepy, curled up on the beam, and just yawned, there was a fly in the air, throwing itself into the trap, stretching out its long tongue, a little bit first.After eating the flies, he rolled his eyes proudly, and the sharp long teeth were exposed again. "You have to control yourself!" Suzhen taught, "There are rules for being a human being, don't ruin my good deeds!" Forget it, I can only go down and keep my feet on the ground. "Everything is fine. If he doesn't come, we will eat by ourselves!" I muttered, "I am him, so I won't come. How can there be such a ready-made bargain? If he doesn't come, he will only lose an umbrella. How much is it worth?" ? Come, you have to lose your life." "Aren't I also a lifetime? Marriage is no small matter. There is a so-called promise of life and death in the world. Who only focuses on a day and a half, a year and a half? I am destined to be with him!" "Oh?" I teased, "Isn't it hue? He's not handsome, would you like it?" Was it right? After finishing speaking, he curled his lips and ran outside the door. This small alley is full of pedestrians.The sun's light shines on the flower stand again.I look down on Suzhen's excessive lovesickness, it's really useless, it's just love at first sight, is love at first sight reliable?I don't think so. Standing outside the door unconsciously, not doing anything, but actually doing something—— The eyes are like a deep net, cast to the farthest point of the alley, yes, pedestrians come and go. I thought, how boring this kind of life is, just because of a promise from a man, I waited hard, and I still remembered his light frown and smile, a few words and a few words, and waved my eyes to see him off. Keep waiting, keep waiting.I don't want to live such a life! There was still no sign of him in his eyes.Only pedestrians come and go. The straight alley was distorted by me. Will you come? —Ah, I was waiting.Two hundred and fifty-eight, two hundred and sixty-six, two hundred... Count to two hundred and seventy-four people. "Xiaoqing!" I heard this man calling me. He looked up to see Xu Xian.The first man in my life who called me by my name. He had changed into clean and good clothes, and the shade of lotus root looked like a lotus root.The lotus root is broken. "Sir, I've been waiting for you until my legs are numb." He hastily apologized: "I'm sorry, the engraving is not ready, so I can't get away for a while. I searched all the way, but I was afraid that I would go to the wrong place. I walked on the right alley, and I was afraid that I would not know the words later..." "What's so scary about that?" "Xiaoqing, do you think I'm still okay with my body?" Then he showed his long phoenix eyes and spied on the inner courtyard.His eyes did not linger on me, I waited for him for a long time, the 274th person.Until he appeared, my heart was beating violently—however, his eyes did not linger on me. "Xiaoqing! But Mr. Xu is here?" asked inside. I had to ask him to come in.Walking along the way, I saw four dark windows. The green curtains were lifted, and one sat up. incense burner.Xu Xian was looking at it when my sister appeared gracefully. Dressed like a fox is not as charming as her. "Xu Xianggong forgives me for not eating." "No, I'm just here to get an umbrella." Suzhen said: "My husband's umbrella was lent to my relative last night. Because he was on his way, it has not been delivered today. Have a few more drinks and let someone take it back for you." The two drank lightly, but did not mention it for a while. that umbrella.Xu Xian bid farewell and went home.
