Chapter 17 The Seventeenth Chapter of the Dharma Door is No Convenience, Doubting the Reopening of the Net, For example
Suddenly a ball of light appeared in the distance, it slowly approached, Wei Xiaobao was startled, and thought: "Woman's fire, ghost fire!" The ball of light moved closer and closer, but it turned out to be a lantern, and the person holding the lantern was a woman in white ghost.Wei Xiaobao hastily closed his eyes.He could only hear the sound of footsteps, and he stopped in front of him.
He was so frightened that he couldn't breathe, and his whole body was shaking, but he heard a girl's voice laughing: "Why are you closing your eyes?" The voice was soft and sweet.Wei Xiaobao said: "Don't scare me. I...I don't dare to look at you."
The female ghost laughed and said: "You are afraid that my seven orifices will bleed and my tongue sticks out, aren't you? Just take a look." Wei Xiaobao tremblingly said: "I won't be fooled by you. Your hair is disheveled and your seven orifices bleed, what's the matter? ...What looks good?" The female ghost giggled and blew on his face.
This breath blows on the face, but it is slightly warm, with a faint fragrance.Wei Xiaobao opened his left eye slightly, and vaguely saw a snow-white face, with curved brows and small mouth, smiling like a flower, and immediately opened his eyes wider, but saw a very delicate girl's face in front of him, about fourteen or five years old , with her head on her hands, she looked at herself with a smile.Wei Xiaobao was determined and asked: "Are you really not a ghost?" The girl smiled and said: "Of course I am a ghost, a hanged ghost."
Wei Xiaobao's heart skipped a beat, he was uncertain.The girl smiled and said: "You are so bold when you kill the wicked, how come you are so timid when you see the hanged ghost?" Wei Xiaobao took a breath and said: "I am not afraid of people, only ghosts."
The girl giggled again, and asked: "What acupuncture points did you get for this person?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I know it?" The girl massaged the back of his shoulder a few times, and lightly on his back Clap three palms, Wei Xiaobao's hands can move immediately.He raised his arm, waved it twice, and said with a smile: "You can relieve acupuncture points, that's wonderful."
The girl said: "I learned it not long ago, I just tried it on you for the first time today." After massaging his armpits and waist a few times, Wei Xiaobao jumped up and said with a smile: "No, no, I'm ticklish Just like that, the sealed acupoints on his legs have been released.He stretched out his hands and said with a smile: "You tickle me, I have to pay you back." He said and took a step forward.
The girl sticks out her tongue and makes a face.But this grimace is only cute, not the slightest bit scary.Wei Xiaobao stretched out his hand to pinch her tongue.The girl turned her head to avoid it, giggled coquettishly, and said: "Aren't you afraid of hanging ghosts?" Wei Xiaobao said: "You have a shadow and heat, you are a human, not a ghost." The girl opened her eyes and said seriously : "I'm a zombie, not a ghost!"
Wei Xiaobao was startled, seeing her face was red and white under the light, he smiled and said, "The zombie's feet can't bend, and he can't talk." The girl laughed again, and said, "Then I must be a vixen." Wei Xiaobao He smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of vixen." Some doubts in his heart: "Could it be that she is really a vixen." Turning to look behind her.The girl smiled and said: "I'm a thousand-year-old vixen, with deep knowledge and no tail." Wei Xiaobao said: "For a beautiful vixen like you, I don't care if you're fascinated." The girl blushed slightly, and stretched out her finger She shaved his face and shamed him, and said: "Don't be shy, just now I was afraid of ghosts, but now I'm talking cheap."
Wei Xiaobao is afraid of zombies first, and ghosts second. As for vixens, he is not so afraid. Seeing this girl is amiable, compared to Fang Yi and Mu Jianping, she is a bit more approachable, not to mention she speaks with a Jiangnan accent Compared with the Yunnan dialect spoken by the second daughter Fang Mu, she smiled and said, "Girl, what's your name?" The girl said, "My name is Shuang'er, a pair of pairs." Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "That's very good." Ah, I don't know if it's a pair of fragrant shoes or a pair of smelly socks."
Shuang'er smiled and said, "Whether it's stinky socks or fragrant shoes, it's up to you. Mr. Gui, you must be very uncomfortable when you're dripping wet. Please go over there and change into dry clothes. There's only one embarrassment." Don’t be surprised.” Wei Xiaobao said: “What’s the problem?” Shuang’er said: “We don’t have men’s clothes here.” Wei Xiaobao’s heart suddenly changed, his face changed color, and he thought: “This room is full of female ghosts .”
Shuang'er lifted the lantern and said: "This way please." Wei Xiaobao hesitated.Shuang'er had already reached the door, turned back and waited for him, smiled and said, "You're afraid that it's unlucky to wear women's clothes, aren't you? Well, you sleep on the bed, and I'll hurry to dry your clothes."
Seeing her gentle and considerate expression, Wei Xiaobao couldn't refuse, so he followed her out of the room and asked, "Where are my companions?"
Shuang'er was two steps behind, walked side by side with him, and said in a low voice: "The third young lady has ordered, I can't say anything to you, after you have eaten the snacks, the third young lady will tell you herself."
Wei Xiaobao was already very hungry, he heard that there was something to eat, and immediately lifted his spirits.
Shuang'er led Wei Xiaobao through a dark corridor, came to a room, and lit the candles on the table.There is only one table and one bed in that room, the furnishings are simple, but very clean, and the bed is covered with quilts.Shuang'er uncovered a corner of the quilt, put down the curtain, and said: "Mr. Gui, take off your clothes on the bed and throw them out for me." Wei Xiaobao jumped into the bed as he said, took off his clothes and trousers, got into the bed, Throw your clothes out of the tent.Shuang'er caught it, walked to the door, and said: "I'll get some snacks. Do you like sweet rice dumplings or salty rice dumplings?" Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "I'm so hungry that I eat rice dumplings even if they are made of sand. Three." Shuang'er went out with a smile.
Seeing her leaving, Wei Xiaobao was silent in the room, watching the candle flickering, he became afraid again: "Oh, no, the female ghost invited people to eat noodles and wontons, but what they ate were actually earthworm caterpillars, I can't be fooled. "
After a while, Wei Xiaobao smelled the smell of meat and sugar.Shuang'er held the wooden plate with both hands, and opened the curtain with his arms.Wei Xiaobao saw four peeled rice dumplings on the plate, he was overjoyed, he was so hungry, he thought that even if it was an earthworm caterpillar, I would eat it too, let alone eat it with chopsticks, it tastes delicious, incomparable.He ate half of one in two mouthfuls and said, "Shuang'er, this is like Huzhou zongzi. It tastes really good." The zongzi produced in Huzhou, Zhejiang, has soft rice and delicious filling, which is unparalleled in the world.There is a Huzhou Zongzi shop in Yangzhou, and when there are clients in Lichun Courtyard, Wei Xiaobao is often sent to buy them.The whole zongzi is wrapped in a zongzi, it is very difficult for Wei Xiaobao to steal the raw rice, but he always squeezes some rice grains out of the zongzi and tastes it.Since arriving in the north, this Huzhou zongzi has been unavailable.
Shuang'er was slightly surprised, and said: "You really know the goods, you can tell that these are Huzhou zongzi." Wei Xiaobao chewed, and said vaguely: "This is really Huzhou zongzi? How can you buy Huzhou zongzi in this place?" Shuang'er He smiled and said: "I didn't buy it, it was a vixen...hehe...the vixen made it come with magic." Wei Xiaobao praised: "Foxes have great powers." Suddenly thinking of Zhang Laosan and his group, he added: "Shou Align with the sky!"
Shuang'er smiled and said: "Eat slowly. I'll iron your clothes." After taking a step, he asked, "Are you afraid?" Most of the fear in Wei Xiaobao's heart had long since disappeared, but he was still a little scared after all, and said: "Are you afraid?" Come back soon." Shuang'er replied, "Yes!"
Not long after, Wei Xiaobao heard a chi-chi sound, but it was Shuang'er who brought an iron with red coals on it, spread his clothes and trousers on the table, ironed the shirt, and accompanied him at the same time.
There were four zongzi, two were salty and the other was sweet, Wei Xiaobao ate three and couldn't eat any more, he said: "This zongzi is really delicious, did you wrap it?" Shuang'er said: "It's made with San Shao milk's seasoning ingredients, I Help wrap it up."
Hearing that she spoke with a Jiangnan accent, Wei Xiaobao asked with a thought, "Are you from Huzhou?"
Shuang'er hesitated to answer, and said: "The clothes are about to be ironed. When Mr. Gui saw the third young lady, he asked her himself, okay?" These words were soft-spoken and very respectful.
Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay, what's wrong?" Lifting the curtain, he watched her ironing.Shuang'er raised his head, smiled at him, and said: "You don't have any clothes on, be careful of catching cold." Wei Xiaobao suddenly became naughty, shrugged, and shouted: "I jumped out, don't wear clothes, you won't catch cold. Shuang'er was taken aback, but seeing him slipping down, his whole body got into the bottom of the quilt without even showing his head, so he couldn't help giggling.
After a meal, Shuang'er put the ironed clothes and pants into the tent, and Wei Xiaobao got out of bed.Shuang'er helped him button his clothes, took out a small wooden comb, combed his hair and braided his hair.Wei Xiaobao smelled the faint fragrance from her body, he was overjoyed, and said: "So a vixen is such a good person." Shuang'er pursed her lips and said with a smile: "What kind of vixen is not a vixen, it's so ugly, I'm not a vixen." Wei Xiaobao said : "Ah, I see. If you want to say 'great fairy', you can't say vixen." Shuang'er smiled and said: "I'm not a great fairy either, I'm a little girl." Wei Xiaobao said: "I'm a little eunuch, you are a little girl, We both serve people, so we are a pair." Shuang'er said: "You serve the emperor, how can I compare with you? One is in the sky, and the other is in the ground." While speaking, she tied her braid.
Shuang'er said: "I don't know how to tie men's braids, I wonder if it's right?" Wei Xiaobao took a look at the braids on his chest, and said: "Excellent. I don't like braids the most, you can help me tie them every day Braids will be fine." Shuang'er said: "I'm not so lucky. You are a great hero. I'll tie your braids for you today, and it's already been done in my previous life." Wei Xiaobao said: "Oh, you're welcome, you If such a beautiful woman braids my hair, I am the one who knocked through seventeen or eight wooden fishes in my previous life."
Shuang'er blushed and said in a low voice: "I'm telling the truth, but you make fun of him." Wei Xiaobao said: "No, no, I'm telling the truth." Shuang'er smiled slightly and said: " The third young lady said, if Mr. Gui is willing, please come and sit in the back hall." Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay, isn't your third young master at home?" Shuang'er said "Mmm" and said softly: "It's dead !"
Wei Xiaobao thought of the mourning halls in many houses, his heart felt cold, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, followed her to a small flower hall in the back hall, sat down, and Shuang Er served a bowl of hot tea.Wei Xiaobao's heart pounded, he didn't dare to joke with her anymore.
After a while, only the sound of footsteps was heard, a young woman in full body walked out from behind the board wall, and said: "Mr. Gui has worked hard all the way."Wei Xiaobao hastily returned the gift, saying: "I dare not take it." The young woman said: "Mr. Gui, please take a seat." Wei Xiaobao saw that this young woman was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, she didn't wear makeup, her face was pale, her eyes were red, it was obvious that she had just come from crying, and she could be seen under the lamp, although it was gloomy, she probably wasn't a ghost, he was worried Uneasy, he replied: "Yes, yes!" Sitting sideways on the chair, he said, "Third young lady, thank you for your Huzhou rice dumplings, they are really delicious." The young woman said: "The deceased husband's surname is Zhuang, I dare not call you the third young lady. Mr. Gui has been in the palace for many years?" Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "In the darkness just now, a woman came to ask about killing Oboi, I admit it I killed it, so they sent a little girl to give me zongzi to eat. It seems that this treasure is right." Said: "It's only a little over a year." Mrs. Zhuang said: "Mr. What happened to Prime Minister Oboi, can you tell the little girl?" Hearing that she called Oboi a "treacherous prime minister", Wei Xiaobao was even more at ease, as if he had a pair of Supreme Treasures in his hand, no matter what the other two cards were, if he turned out the cards, he would kill but not pay, at most And over.Immediately, I will talk about how Kangxi ordered the capture, how Oboi resisted, how all the small prison guards rushed up, but killed several people for him, how he blinded his eyes with incense burner ashes, and then he caught him, etc., but Kangxi drew his sword and wounded him. He, however, said that he unexpectedly stabbed Oboi's back severely. Mrs. Zhuang didn't say a word, she listened silently, when she heard how Wei Xiaobao sprinkled censer ashes to captivate Oboi's eyes, stabbed him in the back with a knife, and smashed him in the head with the copper censer to capture him, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.Wei Xiaobao is used to listening to Mr. Storyteller's storytelling, where to be short and where to be loud, and the key points are just right. What's more, he has experienced this matter himself, and he explained all kinds of subtle twists and turns in great detail. Add some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar Well, listening to him tell this story, I'm afraid it's a bit more thrilling than when he captured Oboi. Mrs. Zhuang said: "So that's how it is. The rumors outside are not entirely untrue. It is said that Mr. Gui is very good at martial arts. He fought with Oboi for three hundred rounds and subdued him with a unique trick. Think about Oboi's so-called 'The number one warrior in Manchuria', Mr. Gui is still young, no matter how good his martial arts are." Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "If there is a real fight, there will be a hundred Xiao Guizi, and they are no match for this traitor." Mrs. Zhuang said, "How did Oboi die later?" Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "Nine times out of ten these three young mistresses are not female ghosts, so they must be people from the martial arts world. When there is no need to tell a lie, don't tell a lie, lest the hard-earned money will be lost at the same time. "So according to the facts, how Kangxi sent him to inspect Oboi, how he came to attack Prince Kang's mansion when he met Tiandi, how he mistakenly believed that the person who came was Oboi's subordinate, how he broke into the prison cell and killed Oboi, etc. After talking one by one, he finally said: "These people turned out to be Oboi's enemies, heroes of the Qingmu Hall of the Tiandihui. They saw that I killed Oboi, and they were very polite to me, saying that they had avenged them." Mrs. Zhuang nodded and said: "Mr. Gui was accepted as a disciple by Mr. Chen Zongduo, and also became the incense master of the Qingmu Hall of the Tiandihui. It is because of this." Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "You know everything, why are you asking me?" He said: "I'm confused, I don't understand anything. To be the incense master of the Qingmu Hall of the Heaven and Earth Society is just a name." He didn't know Mrs. Zhuang and the Tiandihui are friends or enemies, let's talk about ambiguity first. Mrs. Zhuang pondered for a while, then said: "Mr. Gui killed Oboi in the prison cell, what kind of tactics did you use, can you show me?" Seeing her bright eyes, Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "This woman is very evil. I'm talking nonsense and bragging. I probably have to tear through the diorama. It's better to be honest." Standing up immediately, he said: "I What kind of tricks are there?" He gestured with his hands and said, "At that time, I was so frightened that I was out of my wits, and it was a mess, just a few times." Mrs. Zhuang nodded and said: "Mr. Gui, please sit down." She stood up and said, "Shuanger, why don't you get some of our sweet-scented osmanthus candy and invite Mr. Gui to taste it?" Wanfu is a gift and walks into the inner hall. Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "She invited me to eat sweets, of course she has no malicious intentions." After all, he was a little worried: "Although these three young ladies don't look like female ghosts, maybe she has a high moral character and doesn't show her ghostly aura." Shuang'er walked into the inner hall, and came out with a high blue and white porcelain plate, which contained a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus candies and pine nut candies, and said with a smile: "Mr. into the inner hall.
Sitting in the flower hall, Wei Xiaobao ate a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus candies and pine nut candies, hoping for dawn soon. After a long time, I suddenly heard the rustling of clothes. There were many pairs of eyes behind the door, beside the window, and beside the screen. They were peeping at him secretly. They seemed to be the eyes of women. In the darkness, it was difficult to tell whether it was a person or not Ghost, I can only see the hairs in his heart. Suddenly an old woman's voice was heard saying outside the long window: "Mr. Gui, you killed the traitor Oboi and avenged our family. I don't know how to repay you for your kindness." The long window was open, and dozens of people were outside the window. The woman in white bowed to the ground. Wei Xiaobao was taken aback, and hastily replied.All the women kowtowed underground, and he kowtowed too, and the long window was closed suddenly.The old woman said: "You don't need to be polite, you don't dare to be a widow." But outside the long window, the sobbing and weeping of the women could be heard loudly. Wei Xiaobao was terrified, after a while, the sound of crying gradually faded away, and these women all dispersed.Like a dream, he wondered: "Is it a human or a ghost? It seems...it seems..." After a while, Mrs. Zhuang came out from the inner hall and said, "Mr. Gui, please don't be surprised. The people who live here are all the survivors of the loyal ministers and righteous men who were killed by Obai. Everyone knows that Mr. Gui killed Obai. We have to take revenge, and we are all grateful." Wei Xiaobao said: "Then Mrs. Zhuang... was also killed by Oboi?" Mrs. Zhuang lowered her head and said, "Exactly. Everyone here is weeping blood and grieving, waiting day and night for revenge. Unexpectedly, this traitor is full of evil so quickly. Died under Gui Xianggong." Wei Xiaobao said: "I don't have any credit, it's just a coincidence." Shuang'er took out his bundle and put it on the table.Mrs. Zhuang said: "Mr. Gui, it's hard to repay your kindness and virtue. It's reasonable to treat you well. It's just a widow. It's quite inconvenient. We discussed it and wanted to give some small gifts to show our heart, but Gui Xianggong has a lot of luggage and a huge sum of money. In our countryside, what else does Gui Xianggong admire? As for martial arts and so on, Gui Xianggong is the disciple of Chief Chen of the Tiandihui, which is far better than ours. Some superficial skills, this is really embarrassing." Wei Xiaobao heard her speak politely, and said: "You're welcome. I just want to ask, where are my companions?" Mrs. Zhuang thought for a while, and said: "Since I have seen the question, I dare not not answer it. But after benefactor knows, I am afraid that it will be harmful and not beneficial. These are benefactor's friends. We should do our best not to let them It’s just a little bit of damage. They will be able to meet En Gong again in the future.” Wei Xiaobao thought it would be useless to ask again, so he raised his head and looked at the window, thinking: "Why is it still not bright?" Mrs. Zhuang seemed to understand his intentions, and asked: "Where is Engong going tomorrow?" Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "She must have heard the answer between me and Zhang Laosan, so I can't hide it from her." Said: "I Going to Mount Wutai in Shanxi." Mrs. Zhuang said: "The journey to Mount Wutai is not close, I'm afraid there may be troubles along the way. We want to give our benefactor a gift, but please don't be lucky." Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "It's kind of him Give me something, but I never refuse to accept it.” Mrs. Zhuang said: "That's great." Pointing to Shuang'er, she said, "This little girl, Shuang'er, has followed me for many years and has done well. We gave it to benefactor, please take it, and serve him from now on." .” Wei Xiaobao was both surprised and delighted, he didn't expect that when she said to give him a gift, it turned out to be a person, just now Shuang'er served him, ironing and braiding, saving a lot of effort, if there is such a beautiful and well-behaved little girl It is indeed very happy to be by my side, but this trip to Wutai Mountain may not be peaceful, I have to adapt to the situation, and it is very inconvenient to bring a little girl with me, and said: "Mrs. Zhuang gave me this important gift, thank you so much Extremely. It's just...just..." If you want to push it away, why don't you accept it when someone gives you a gift?Secondly, such a good girl is really reluctant to have.I saw Shuang'er lowered her head and was peeking at her. As soon as his eyes shot over, she turned her head hastily, her face flushed. Mrs. Zhuang said: "I don't know what is the difficulty of my benefactor?" Wei Xiaobao said: "When I go to Wutai Mountain, most of the things I do are very... very difficult. I am afraid it will be inconvenient to take this girl with me." Mrs. Zhuang said: " Then there is no need to worry, although Shuang'er is young, her skills are quite nimble, she will not become a burden to benefactor, just rest assured." Wei Xiaobao glanced at Shuang'er again, saw the earnest look in her eyes like lacquer spots, and asked with a smile: "Shuang'er, would you like to come with me?" Shuang'er lowered her head and said softly: " The third young lady asked me to serve my husband, so naturally... naturally I have to listen to the third young lady's orders." Wei Xiaobao said: "Then do you want to do it yourself? I'm afraid you will encounter danger." Shuang'er said: "I'm not afraid of danger. .” Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "You answered my second question, but didn't answer the first one. You are not afraid of danger, but Madam sent you to me, but you are unwilling in your heart." Shuang'er said: "Madam He treats me with great kindness, and my husband has great kindness to my farmer. My wife told me to serve him, so I will do my best. If my husband treats me well, it is my fate. If he treats me badly, it is me...it is my fate. "Wei Xiaobao laughed, and said: "Your life is very good, you won't have a hard life." There was a slight smile on the corner of Shuang'er's mouth. Mrs. Zhuang said: "Shuang'er, you have paid homage to Mr. Gui, and you will be Mr. Gui's man from now on." Shuang'er raised her head, suddenly her eye circles were red, she first knelt down and kowtowed to Madam Zhuang, and said, "Third Young Mistress, I...I..." After saying two words of "I", weeping softly.Mrs. Zhuang stroked her hair, and said softly: "Mr. Gui is a young hero who has become famous all over the world at a young age. You should serve him well. He promised to treat you well." Shuang'er replied: "Yes." Turning around, Bow down to Wei Xiaobao Yingying. Wei Xiaobao said: "You're welcome!" He helped her up, opened the bundle, took out a string of pearls, and said with a smile, "This is my meeting gift!" He thought to himself: "This string of pearls is worth three or four thousand taels of silver. When I came to buy maidservants, I got dozens of them. But the sum of dozens of maidservants is not as cute as this pair." Shuang'er took it with both hands, and said: "Thank you, Mr.." Hanging around her neck, the precious light on the beads flowed, making her pretty face even more beautiful. Mrs. Zhuang said: "Mr. Engong went to Wutai Mountain. I wonder if he intends to investigate openly or secretly?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Of course it was an unannounced visit." Long Zhishi, benefactor, please be careful." Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes, thank you for your instructions. But you don't dare to call me benefactor. You can call me Xiaobao." Mrs. Zhuang said, "I dare not take it." Standing up, she said, "Treasure the journey, and the survivors will not send it away." She said to Shuang'er, "Shuang'er, after you leave this door, you are no longer a member of the Zhuang family. From now on, what you say and do has nothing to do with the old master, if you mess around outside, my dealer will not protect you." Said these words, his expression was very solemn.Shuang'er agreed.Mrs. Zhuang saluted Wei Xiaobao again and walked in. Seeing the light on the window paper, the sky gradually brightened.Shuang'er went in and brought out a bundle, and carried Wei Xiaobao's bundle on his back.Wei Xiaobao said: "Let's go!" Shuang'er said: "Yes!" He lowered his head, looked sad, kept looking towards the back hall, obviously parting from Mrs. Zhuang, quite reluctant to part.Her eyes were red, she must have cried just now.
Wei Xiaobao walked out of the gate, Shuang'er followed behind.At that time, the heavy rain had stopped, but the mountain stream was rushing, and the sound of water was everywhere.Wei Xiaobao walked dozens of steps, turned his head to look at the big house, but saw the mist covered the corner of the room in front of the wall, and walked dozens of steps, turned his head and looked back, he couldn't see anything. He sighed and said, "What happened last night was really like a dream. Shuang'er, what did Madam tell you in the last few words, what do you mean?" Serving the husband, no matter what she says or does, it has nothing to do with her dealer." Wei Xiaobao said: "Then, where are my companions, you can tell me!" Shuang'er was stunned, and said: "Yes. Mr. Xianggong's companions were all rescued by us, and Zhang Laosan and his subordinates were also arrested by us, but later on, powerful figures from the Dragon Sect came, but they didn't All the brains were snatched away. The third young lady said, we are all girls, and it is inconvenient to fight violently with those wild men. Besides, we may not be able to fight well. Let them go for now, and ask someone else to rescue your few A companion. Seeing that we backed down, the members of the Dragon Cult left and said a few polite words before leaving." Wei Xiaobao nodded, Fang Yi and Mu Jianping were quite worried about their situation.Shuang'er said: "The third young lady once told the leader of the Shenlong Cult that you must not hurt the lives of your companions. That person agreed with himself." Wei Xiaobao sighed: "These guys from the Shenlong Cult, I am afraid that their words are like Fart, alas, but there is no way." Then asked: "Does the third young lady know martial arts?" Shuang'er said: "Yes, not only know, but also very good." Wei Xiaobao shook his head and said: "She is such a person who can be blown down by the wind, how can she be very good at martial arts? If she is really good at martial arts, how can Third Young Master be killed by Oboi?" Shuang'er said: " When the old master and the third young master were murdered, none of the dozens of families knew martial arts. At that time, the men were all captured by Obai and killed in Beijing, and the women were sent to Ninggu Pagoda. On the way, I met a savior, who killed the acquaintance, rescued dozens of women from our family, settled here, and passed on the skills of the three young wives to them." Wei Xiaobao gradually understood. At that time, the sky was already bright, the east morning was dawning, and the heavy rain that night washed the trees in the mountains and forests into verdant green. Until now, Wei Xiaobao didn't have the slightest doubt that what he saw last night was a female ghost, and asked: "You guys There are so many mourning halls in the house, are they all the masters and young masters who were killed by Oboi?" Shuang'er said: "Exactly. We live in seclusion in the deep mountains and never interact with outsiders. Some curious people from the nearby countryside come to check their brains, and we always pretend to be ghosts to scare them away. So everyone said it was a coincidence. Haunted house, no one has dared to come here for the past year. Unexpectedly, the husband will come last night. The third young lady said, our revenge has not been avenged, and everything must be kept very secret. There are dead masters and young masters written on the tablet of the mourning hall If outsiders see my name, it will be very inconvenient. When my husband asked me last night, I dare not say it. But the third young lady said, from now on, I will only serve my husband and have nothing to do with the dealer. Naturally, I can do nothing I won't lie to you anymore." Wei Xiaobao happily said: "Yes. Let me tell you, my real name is Wei Xiaobao, and something like Gui Gonggong is a pseudonym. You are from my Wei family, not from the Gui family." Shuang'er was very happy and said: "My husband even told me his real name, and I will never reveal it." Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "My real name is not a big secret. Many brothers in the Tiandihui know it." Shuang'er said: "When those people from the Shenlong Sect fight with you, the third young lady and the others are watching the fun outside. When they see them, they will chant mantras, muttering mantras..." Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "Hong The leader has supernatural powers, and his lifespan is as long as the sky. I can also recite this kind of incantation." Shuang'er said: "The third young lady said that they must be using some other spells in the dark, otherwise they would not Suddenly, when the mantra was recited, the skill of the hands increased several times. Later, when the youngest Zhang was talking to you, and the third young lady was listening outside the window, the others turned off the lights in the hall and captured the whole group with fishing nets. .” Wei Xiaobao slapped his thigh and shouted: "Excellent! Use fishing nets to catch people? That's very good." Shuang'er said: "The third young lady said that Zhang Lao San's martial arts are nothing special, it is just that he is powerful in demons , so I didn't fight him head-on, as soon as I led him out, I turned off the lights, and the fishing net was like this..." Wei Xiaobao said: "Caught a bastard." Shuang'er giggled and said, "There is a lake behind the mountain. We often go fishing at night. When we were in Huzhou, the farmer's house was close to Taihu Lake, so the lake was big. At that time, our farmer had a lot of fishing boats and rented them out to fishermen. Fishing. The third young lady and the others have seen how fishermen cast nets to catch fish." Wei Xiaobao said: "You are indeed from Huzhou, no wonder the Huzhou rice dumplings are so delicious. How did the third young master get killed by Oboi?" Shuang'er said: "Third young lady said that it's called 'literary prison'." Wei Xiaobao wondered: "Mosquito meat? Mosquitoes also have meat?" Shuang'er said: "It's not mosquitoes, it's writing, the writing! Our young master is A scholar, he is very knowledgeable. After he was blind, he wrote a book, and in the book there were words scolding the Manchurians..." Wei Xiaobao said: "Tsk tsk tsk, it's amazing, I can still write articles when I am blind. My eyes are not good. Blind, I still can’t read after seeing other people’s writing, I’m called a ‘bright-eyed blind’!” Shuang’er said: “The old lady often said that if the world is wrong, it’s better to be illiterate. The few days we lived together The family members, every master and young master who suffered are all scholars and talents, and none of their articles are world-famous. It is because of their articles that they have made disasters. But the third young lady said that the Manchurians We Han people are not allowed to read and make articles, but we have to read and do it, so as not to satisfy the Tartars." Wei Xiaobao said: "Then do you know how to make a fuss?" Shuang'er smiled and said, "My husband really likes to tell jokes, how can a little girl make a fuss? The third young lady taught me to read, but I only read seven or eight books." Wei Xiaobao said with a "wow", "You have read seven or eight books! That's much better than me. I only know seven or eight characters." Shuang'er laughed and said: "My husband doesn't like reading, old lady I must like you. She said that when it came to the Qing Dynasty, prodigal sons only read books." Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes! I see that Oboi is not very literate, he must have been told by a flatterer." Shuang'er said: "Yes. What is the book written by our young master called "History of Ming Dynasty" ", there are words in the book that scolded the Manchu people. There was a villain named Wu Zhirong, who took the book and reported it to Aobai. When the incident became serious, hundreds of people were killed. They were all captured and beheaded. Mr. Xiang, have you seen this Wu Zhirong in Beijing?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I haven't seen it yet. If you look slowly, you will find it. Shuang'er, I want to trade you for someone else." Shuang'er was taken aback, and tremblingly said: "You...you want to give me to someone?" Wei Xiaobao said: "It's not for someone else, but for someone else." Shuang'er's eyes were already red, and she was so anxious I was about to cry, and said, "What... what for another person?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Your third young lady gave you to me, such a great gift is not easy to repay. I have to find a way to capture Wu Zhirong and give it to your third young lady. Then this gift is about the same gone." Shuang'er smiled through tears, patted his chest lightly with his right hand, and said: "You scared me, I still think that my husband doesn't want me." Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed, and said: "You are afraid that I don't want you, so you are so anxious. Don't worry, even if people pile up mountains of gold, silver, pearls, and precious stones in front of me, they won't be able to replace you." While talking, the two had already walked to the foot of the mountain, but seeing the clear sky and the dust in the distance, Wei Xiaobao recalled the embarrassing scene of going to the "haunted house" to avoid the rain in the heavy rain last night, it was really very different.It's just that Xu Tianchuan, Fang Yi, Mu Jianping and the others fell into the trap and were captured. I don't know if they can get out of danger. With their own abilities, they can't save them no matter what. Since it's useless to think about it, it's better not to think about it.
After traveling for a few miles, they came to a market, and the two found a noodle shop, and went in to get some food.After Wei Xiaobao sat down, Shuang'er stood by and waited on him. Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "You're welcome, just sit down and eat together." Shuang'er said: "No, how can I eat at the same table as my husband? It's too rude." Wei Xiaobao said: "What the fuck are the rules? No rules. I say yes, that’s fine. You can eat after I’ve finished eating, so it’s too late.” Shuang’er said: “As soon as my husband finishes eating, let’s go. I’ll buy some steamed buns and eat as we go. It's too late." Wei Xiaobao sighed: "I have a strange temper, if I eat alone, my stomach will definitely be troubled, if no one eats with me, my stomach will hurt later, it will be hard to bear." Shuang'er smiled sweetly, and had no choice but to pull out a bench and sit obliquely at the corner of the table. Wei Xiaobao only had a few chopsticks to eat from a bowl of noodles, when he saw three Tibetan lamas walk into the shop, sat down by the street, and shouted in succession: "Bring me noodles! Bring me noodles!" A lama glanced at two The string of pearls in the son's neck bumped into his companion with his left elbow, and pouted to signal.When the other two saw it, their faces were filled with joy, and they looked at the string of beads intently. Wei Xiaobao thought in his heart: "No, these three guys want to block the road and rob." He took out a piece of silver and asked a shop assistant in the noodle shop to hire a cart, finished eating the noodles in a hurry, got into the cart, and ordered the driver to drive west run. After driving for a few miles, only the sound of horseshoes behind the carriage was heard, Wei Xiaobao looked back, and saw the three lamas chasing after him on horseback, he said to Shuang'er: "Those three villains want to rob you of your beads, so give them up I’ll buy another string for you later.” Shuang’er said: “Yes! You don’t need to buy it.” Only three lamas shouted: “Stop, stop!” The coachman stopped the mule. Three lamas rode forward and stopped in front of the car.One said, "Two dolls, get out of the car!" Shuang'er took off the string of pearls around his neck, handed them out of the car, and said, "You guys like this string of beads. My husband told you to give them to you, so take them." A fat lama stretched out his big hand, but didn't After catching the beads, he leaned forward, grabbed Shuang'er's wrist, and pulled it outward.Wei Xiaobao said urgently: "If you want more money, don't be rough!" But seeing the yellow shadow flickering, the lama flew up, leaped into the air, and jumped out backwards. Wei Xiaobao secretly called out: "Good work!" Seeing his body falling sharply, but his head and feet were on the ground, there was a sound of waves, a big fat head rushed into the mud, sunk straight to his chest, his feet danced wildly.Wei Xiaobao was surprised and delighted, he didn't know what kind of kung fu this lama showed. The other two lamas screamed and rushed to grab him and pull him out of the mud.The lama's face was covered with wet mud, and he was extremely embarrassed.Fortunately, it rained heavily last night and soaked the roadside with soft mud, so the lama was not injured. Wei Xiaobao laughed loudly, and said to the driver: "Hurry up and leave!" Shuang'er held the bead in his hand and asked, "Master, will you give this bead back to them?" Wei Xiaobao hadn't answered yet, when the three lamas each pulled out steel knives from their waists, and rushed forward viciously.双儿从车夫手中接过鞭子，向外甩出，卷住了一名喇嘛手中钢刀，鞭子回缩，左手将刀接住，右手又将鞭子甩了出去，一卷之下，将第二名喇嘛手中钢刀也夺了过来。第三名喇嘛叫声：“啊哟！”一呆停步。双儿手中鞭子又已甩出，这次却卷住了他头颈，顺势将他拉到车前，随手接过他手中钢刀。那喇嘛喉头被鞭子勒住，双眼翻白，伸出舌头，满脸登时没半点血色。余下两名喇嘛分从左右向双儿攻到，意欲相救同伴。双儿跃起身来，左足站在车辕，右足连踢，两名喇嘛头上穴道被点，晕倒在地。她挥手松开鞭子，那喇嘛已窒息良久，也即昏倒。 韦小宝喜欢之极，跳起身来，叫道：“双儿，好双儿，原来你功夫这样了得。” 双儿微微一笑，道：“那也没什么，是这三个恶人不中用。” 韦小宝道：“早知这样，我也不用担这半天心事了。”跳下车来，在一名喇嘛身上踢了一脚，问道：“你们干甚么的？”那喇嘛兀自昏晕不醒。 双儿在他腰间踢了一脚。那喇嘛一声呻吟，醒了过来。双儿道：“相公问你们是干甚么的？”那喇嘛道：“姑娘……姑娘是会……会仙法的么？”双儿微笑道：“快说！你们是干甚么的？”那喇嘛道：“我们……我们是五台山菩萨顶……大文殊寺的喇嘛。”双儿皱眉道：“甚么喇嘛不喇嘛的，胡说八道，说这等粗话。”韦小宝道：“喇嘛是西藏的和尚。”双儿道：“原来你们是和尚。”在他身上轻轻踢了一脚，道：“是和尚又不剃光头？” 那喇嘛道：“我们是喇嘛，不是和尚。”双儿道：“甚么？你还嘴硬？相公说你是和尚，就是和尚！”在他腰间“天豁穴”上又踢一脚，那喇嘛直痛到骨髓里去，忍不住大声呼叫，疼痛越来越厉害，叫声也越来越响。另外两名喇嘛悠悠转醒，听到他杀猪般大叫，无不骇然，齐用藏语相询，那喇嘛说了，随即用汉语叫道：“我是和尚，我是和尚，姑娘说……说我是甚么，就……就是甚么，求求你……快快给我……解了穴道。” 双儿笑道：“姑娘说的不算数，相公说的才算数。相公，你说他是什么？” 韦小宝笑道：“我说他是尼姑！” 那喇嘛实已忍耐不住，忙道：“我是尼姑，我是尼姑！”韦小宝和双儿一齐大笑。双儿左足在他颈下“气户穴”上轻轻一踢，那喇嘛剧痛立止，兀自不停的叫唤：“我是尼姑，我是尼姑！” 韦小宝忍住了笑，问道：“你们是出家人，为甚么来抢我们财物？”那喇嘛道：“小人该死，下次再也不敢了。”韦小宝道：“你还想下次么？”那喇嘛道：“我说过不敢，就是不敢，再过一百年也不敢了。”韦小宝道：“你们不在庙里念经，下山来干甚么？”那喇嘛道：“是……是师父派我们下山来的。”韦小宝道：“你们师父派你们下山来抢金银珠宝？”那喇嘛道：“不……不是。我们要去北京……”刚说到这里，另一名胖大喇嘛咳嗽了一声。 韦小宝斜眼瞧去，只见那喇嘛连使眼色，显是示意同伴不可吐露实情。韦小宝本想这些喇嘛见财起意，恃强抢劫，也没什么大不了。满洲人崇信喇嘛，皇宫中做法事，定是请喇嘛拜忏诵经。皇室如此，一般王公亲贵更加不必说了，是以颇有不守清规的喇嘛在京里横行不法。他本想作弄折磨他们一番，资为笑乐，就此将他们放了，但见这胖大喇嘛这等神情，似乎另有别情，说道：“这三个家伙捣鬼。双儿，你在他们三人身上每人踢一脚，让他们三人叫苦连天，咱们这就去罢！” 双儿应道：“是！”她也瞧出那胖大喇嘛捣鬼，先在他“天豁穴”上踢了一脚。那喇嘛立时大声呼叫。双儿又走到先前那喇嘛身边，提起脚来，作势欲踢。 那喇嘛吃过苦头，忙道：“别踢，我说就是。师父差我们上北京，送一封信。”韦小宝道：“信呢？”那喇嘛道：“这……这信是不能给你们看的，要是给人见到了，师……师父非杀我们不可。”韦小宝道：“拿出来！你不拿，我就踢你一脚。”说着走上一步。 那喇嘛可不知他功夫有限，这一脚踢在身上，无关痛痒，一见他提脚，忙道：“不……不在我这里。”韦小宝道：“你去拿来！”那喇嘛无奈，走到那胖大喇嘛身前，叽哩咕噜的说了几句藏语。那胖大喇嘛以藏语回答，他正在杀猪也似的大叫大嚷，再夹入断断续续的几句藏语，更加难听。韦小宝从他语气与神情之中，料想他定是不许这喇嘛取信，当即走过去在他脑门上狠狠踢了一脚，那胖大喇嘛登时晕去。另一名喇嘛从他怀中取出一个油布小包，战战兢兢的双手递过。 韦小宝接了过来。双儿从怀里也取出一个小包，打了开来，拿出一把小小剪刀，剪开包裹，里面果是一封信，封皮上写的是两行藏文。 韦小宝问道：“这信送去给谁？”那喇嘛道：“给我们师伯的。”韦小宝伸手一扯，嗤的一声，扯开了封皮。两个喇嘛连声叫苦。只见一道黄纸上写了几行弯弯曲曲的藏文，下面又用朱砂画了一道符，希奇古怪，不知所云。这封信便是以汉文书写，韦小宝也是不识，当即递给双儿，问道：“里面写些什么？” 双儿也不识得，向那喇嘛道：“相公问你信里写些什么，快说！如有半句假话，我踢了你的穴道，永不给你解开。哼，至少也得隔上三天三晚，才给你解开。” 那喇嘛接过信去，看了一遍又一遍，嗫嚅道：“这个……这个……”韦小宝道：“甚么这个那个的？快说！”那喇嘛道：“是，是！那信中说道，师兄所问那个人……”刚说到这里，另一个喇嘛忽然咕噜咕噜的说起话来。双儿飞身过去，在他“天豁穴”上一脚踢去，这喇嘛的话声立时变成了呻吟和呼号。 第一个喇嘛脸色大变，颤声道：“那信中说……说道要找的那个人，我们找来找去找不到，一定……一定不在五台山上。” 韦小宝见他目光闪烁，说话吞吞吐吐，心想：“我虽不懂你们的鸡鸣狗叫，可是瞧你神气，定是在说假话，只不过你这家伙太笨，假话也说不像。”向双儿道：“这喇嘛又在撒谎骗我了。”双儿道：“他这样坏，那可饶他不得。”伸足再在他“天豁穴”上一踢。 那喇嘛叫道：“你……杀了我罢。我师兄说……说的，倘若说了信中言语，我们……我们三个都活不成的……你……你快杀了我罢。” 韦小宝道：“别理他了，咱们走罢！”和双儿跃上大车。那车夫见他二人小小年纪，居然收拾得三个喇嘛死去活来，佩服得五体投地，赞不绝口。 韦小宝低声道：“到得前面市镇之上，你可得改装，这串明珠也得收了起来。”双儿道：“是。我改甚么装？”韦小宝微笑道：“你改了男装罢。”
车行三十余里后，到了一座大市镇。韦小宝遣去车夫，赴客店投宿，取出银子，命双儿去购买衣衫改装。双儿买了衣衫回店，穿着起来，扮作了一个俊俏的小书僮。 这一改装，路上再不引人注目。双儿武功了得，人情世故却全然不懂，一路上全由韦小宝拿主意，但他的主意可也不大高明，往往有三分正经，却有七分胡闹。 不一日来到直晋两省交界。自直隶省阜平县往西，过长城岭，便到龙家关。那龙家关是五台山的东门，石径崎岖，峰峦峻峭，入五台山后第一座寺院是涌泉寺。 韦小宝问起清凉寺的所在，却原来五台山极大，清凉寺在南台顶与中台顶之间，自涌泉寺前去，路程着实不近。 这晚韦小宝和双儿在涌泉寺畔的卢家庄投宿，吃了一碗羊肉泡馍，再吃糖果，心想日间在涌泉寺问路，庙里的和尚见自己年轻，神情冷冷的不大理睬，不答去清凉寺的路径，反问：“道路又远又不好走，你去清凉寺干什么？”一副讨厌模样，倒有七分便似扬州禅智寺中那些势利的贼秃，到清凉寺中去见顺治皇帝，只怕挺不容易，须得想个法子才好。 他嘴里吃糖，心中寻思：“有钱能使鬼推磨，叫和尚推磨，多半也行罢。曾听说书先生说，鲁智深到五台山出家，一个甚么员外在庙里布施了不少银两，鲁智深在庙里乱闹一通，又喝酒又吃狗肉，老和尚也不生气。是了，我假装要做法事，到庙里大撒银子，再借些因头，赖着不走，慢慢的找寻老皇爷，老和尚总不能赶我走。” 但入山之后，除了寺庙之外便没大市镇，一张五百两银子的银票也找兑不开，只得再出龙泉关，回到阜平，兑换银两，和双儿俩打扮得焕然一新，心想：“我要做法事，可是甚么也不懂，只怕一下子便露出马脚来，先得试演一番。” 当下来到阜平县城内一座庙宇吉祥寺，向佛像磕了几个头。知客和尚取出缘簿笔砚。韦小宝挥手道：“布施便布施，写什么字？”取出一锭五十两的元宝，送了过去。那和尚大惊，心想这位小施主乐善好施，世间少有，当下连声称谢，迎入斋房，奉上斋菜素面。 韦小宝吃面之时，方丈和尚坐在一旁相陪，大赞小檀越仁心虔敬，必蒙菩萨保佑，日后金榜题名，高中状元，子孙满堂，福泽无穷。韦小宝暗暗好笑，心想你拍我什么马屁都好，我瞎字不识，说我高中状元，那不是当面骂人吗？说道：“老和尚，我要到五台山去做一场大法事，只是我什么也不懂，要请你指教。” 那方丈听到“大法事”三字，登时站起身来，说道：“施主，天下庙宇，供奉的佛祖、菩萨都是一般，你要做法事，就在小寺里办好了，包你一切周到妥贴，却不用辛辛苦苦的赶上五台山上去。” 韦小宝摇头道：“不行，我这场法事，许下了心愿，一定要去五台山做的。”说着又取出五十两银子，说道：“这样罢，你给我雇一个人，陪我上五台山去做帮手。五十两银子是给他的。”老和尚大喜，道：“那容易，那容易！”他有个表弟，在庙里经管庙产，收租买物，全由他经手，却不是和尚，当下去叫了他来，和韦小宝相见。 此人姓于，行八，一张嘴极是来得，却有个外号叫做“少一划”，原来“于”字加上一划，变成个“王”字，于八便成王八了。三言两语之间，韦小宝便和他十分投机。这等市井小人，韦小宝自幼便相处惯了的，这时忽然在阜平县遇上一个，大有他乡遇故知之感。 韦小宝再向方丈请教做法事的诸般规矩，那方丈倒也知无不言，言无不尽。韦小宝心想：“和尚们的规矩倒也真多！”又多布施了二十两银子。 韦小宝带了于八回到客店，取出银子，差他去购买一应物事。于八有银子在手，办事十分快捷，不多时诸般物品便已买齐，自己也穿得一身光鲜，说道：“韦相公，你是大财主，我做你亲随，也该穿着得有个谱儿，是不是？这套衣服鞋帽，不过花了三两五钱银子。”韦小宝心想不错，又叫他去衣铺替自己和双儿多买几套华贵衣衫。 三人兴兴头头的过龙泉关，后面跟着八个挑夫，挑了八担斋僧礼佛之物，沿大路往南。 一入五台山，行不数里便是一座寺庙，过涌泉寺后，经台麓寺、石佛庙、普济寺、古佛寺、金刚库、白云寺、金灯寺而至灵境寺。当晚在灵境寺借宿一宵，次晨折回向北，到金阁寺后向西数里，便是清凉寺了。
那清凉寺在清凉山之巅，和沿途所见寺庙相比，也不见得如何宏伟，山门破旧，显已年久失修。韦小宝微觉失望：“皇帝出家，一定拣一座最大的寺庙，只怕海老乌龟瞎说八道，老皇帝并不在这里做和尚。” 于八进入山门，向知客僧告知，北京城有一位韦大官人要来大做法事，斋僧供佛。知客僧见这一行人衣饰华贵，又带着八挑物事，当即请进厢房奉茶，入内向方丈禀报。 方丈澄光老和尚来到厢房，和韦小宝相见，问道：“不知施主要做甚么法事？” 韦小宝见这澄光方丈身材甚高，但骨瘦如柴，双目微闭，一副没精打采的模样，更是失望，说道：“弟子要请大和尚做七日七夜法事，超渡弟子亡父，还有几位亡故了的朋友。” 澄光道：“北京城里大庙甚多，五台山也是庙宇众多，不知施主为甚么路远迢迢的，特地上五台山来，到小庙做法事？” 韦小宝早知有此一问，事先已和于八商量过，便道：“我母亲上个月十五做了一梦，梦见我死去的爹爹，向她说道，他生前罪业甚大，必须到五台山清凉寺，请方丈大师拜七日七夜经忏，才消得他的血光之灾，免得我爹爹在地狱中受无穷苦恼。”他不知自己父亲是谁，更不知他是死是活，说这番话时，忍不住暗暗好笑，又想：“他妈的，你生下了老子，就此撒手不管，下地狱也是该的。老子给你碰巧做七日七夜法事，是你的天大运气。” 澄光方丈道：“原来如此。小施主，俗语说得好：日有所思，夜有所梦。这梦幻之事，实在是当不得真的。” 韦小宝道：“大和尚，俗语说得好：宁可信其有，不可信其无。就算我爹爹在梦里的言语未必是真，我们给他做一场法事，超渡亡魂，那也是一件功德。如果我爹爹真有此言，我们却不照他的话做，他在阴世给牛头马面、无常小鬼欺负折磨，那……那……我总有点儿不大好意思罢？再说，这是奉了我母亲之命。我母亲说五台山清凉寺的老方丈跟她有缘份，这场法事嘛，定是要在宝刹做的。”心想：“你跟我妈妈有缘份，这倒奇了，你到扬州丽春院去做过嫖客吗？” 澄光方丈“嘿”的一声，说道：“施主有所不知，敝寺乃是禅宗，这等经忏法事，是净土宗的事，我们是不会做的。这五台山上，金阁寺、普济寺、大佛寺、延庆寺等等都是净土宗，施主还是移步到那些寺庙去做法事的为是。” 韦小宝心想在阜平县时，那方丈抢着要做法事，到了此处，这老和尚却推三阻四，将送上门来的银子双手推将出去，其中必有古怪。他求之再三，澄光只是不允，跟着站起身来，向知客僧道：“你指点施主去金阁寺的道路，老衲少陪。” 韦小宝急了，忙道：“方丈既然执意不允，我带来施舍宝刹的僧衣、僧帽，以及银两，总是要请宝刹诸位大和尚赏收。” 澄光合十道：“多谢了。”他眼见韦小宝带来八挑礼物，竟然毫不起劲。 韦小宝道：“我母亲说道，每一份礼物，要我亲手交给宝刹每一位大和尚，就算是火工道人、种菜的园子，也都有份。带来共有三百份礼物，倘若不够，我们再去采购。”澄光道：“够了，太多了。本寺只五十来人，请施主留下五十六份物品就是。”韦小宝道：“可否请方丈召集合寺僧众，由我亲手施舍？这是我母亲的心愿，无论如何是要办到的。” 澄光抬起头来，突然间目光如电，在韦小宝脸上一扫，说道：“好！我佛慈悲，就如施主所愿。”转身进内。 瞧着他竹竿一般的背影走了进去，韦小宝心头说不出的别扭，讪讪的端起茶碗喝茶。 于八站在他背后，低声道：“这等背时的老和尚，姓于的这一辈子可还真少见，怪不得偌大一座清凉寺，连菩萨金身也是破破烂烂的。” 只听得庙里撞起钟来，知客僧道：“请檀越到西殿布施。”韦小宝到得西殿，见僧众络绎进来，他将施物一份一份发放，凝神注视每一名和尚，心想：“顺治皇帝我没见过，但他是小皇帝的爸爸，相貌总有些相像。只要见到是个大号小皇帝的和尚，那便是了。”可是五十多份施物发完，别说“大号小皇帝”没见到，连跟小皇帝相貌有一二分相似的和尚，也没一个。 韦小宝好生失望，突然想起：“他是做过皇帝之人，那是何等的身份，怎会来领我一份施舍的衣帽！我这计策可笨得很。”问知客僧道：“宝刹所有的僧人，全都来了？”知客僧道：“个个都领了，多谢檀越布施。”韦小宝道：“每一个都领了？恐怕不见得，只怕还有人不肯来取。”知客僧道：“檀越说笑话了，哪有此事？”韦小宝道：“出家人不打诳语，你如骗我，你死后要下拔舌地狱。”知客僧一听，登时变色。 韦小宝道：“既然尚有僧人未来领取，大和尚去请他来领罢！” 知客僧摇头道：“只有方丈大师未领，我看不必再要他老人家出来了。”
正在这时，一名僧人匆匆忙忙进来，说道：“师兄，外面有十几名喇嘛要见方丈。”跟着低声道：“他们身上都带着兵器，磨拳擦掌的，来意不善。”知客僧皱眉道：“五台山青庙黄庙，自来河水不犯井水，他们来干什么？你去禀报方丈，我出去瞧瞧。”说着向韦小宝说道：“少陪。”快步出去。 韦小宝笑道：“这些臭喇嘛，只怕是冲着我们来的。”他想双儿武功高强，十几名喇嘛也不放在心上。忽听得山门外传来一阵喧哗之声，一群人冲进了大雄宝殿。韦小宝道：“瞧瞧热闹去。”拉着双儿的手，一齐出去。 到得大殿，只见十几名黄衣喇嘛围住了知客僧，七嘴八舌的乱嚷：“非搜不可，有人亲眼见他来到清凉寺的。”“这是你们不对，干么把人藏了起来？”“乖乖的把人交了出来便罢，否则的话，哼哼！” 韦小宝走到殿边一站，双手扠腰，心道：“老子就在这里，你们放马过来罢。”岂知那些喇嘛对他全不理睬，正眼也不向他瞧。 吵嚷声中，澄光方丈走了出来，缓缓的道：“甚么事？”知客僧道：“好教方丈得知，他们……”他“方丈”二字一出口，那些喇嘛便都围到澄光身畔，叫道：“你是方丈？那好极了！”“快把人交出来！要是不交，连你这寺院也一把火烧个干净。”“岂有此理，真正岂有此理！”“难道做了和尚，便可不讲理么？” 澄光道：“请问众位师兄，是哪座庙里的？光临敝寺，为了何事？” 一名黄衣上披着红色袈裟的喇嘛道：“我们打从西藏来，奉了活佛之命，到中原公干，岂知有一名随从的小喇嘛给一个贼和尚拐走了，在清凉寺中藏了起来。方丈和尚，你快快把我们这小喇嘛交出来，否则决计不能跟你甘休。” 澄光道：“这倒奇了。我们这里是禅宗青庙，跟西藏密宗素来没有瓜葛。贵处走失了小喇嘛，何不到各处黄庙去问问？”那喇嘛怒道：“有人亲眼见到，那小喇嘛是在清凉寺中，这才前来相问，否则我们吃饱了饭没事干，来瞎闹么？你识趣的，快把小喇嘛交出来，我们也就不看僧面看佛面，不再追究了。” 澄光摇头道：“倘若真有小喇嘛来到清凉寺，各位就算不问，老衲也不能让他容身。” 几名喇嘛齐声叫道：“那么让我们搜一搜！”澄光仍是摇头，说道：“这是佛门清净之地，哪能容人说搜便搜。”那为首
After a while, only the sound of footsteps was heard, a young woman in full body walked out from behind the board wall, and said: "Mr. Gui has worked hard all the way."Wei Xiaobao hastily returned the gift, saying: "I dare not take it." The young woman said: "Mr. Gui, please take a seat." Wei Xiaobao saw that this young woman was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, she didn't wear makeup, her face was pale, her eyes were red, it was obvious that she had just come from crying, and she could be seen under the lamp, although it was gloomy, she probably wasn't a ghost, he was worried Uneasy, he replied: "Yes, yes!" Sitting sideways on the chair, he said, "Third young lady, thank you for your Huzhou rice dumplings, they are really delicious." The young woman said: "The deceased husband's surname is Zhuang, I dare not call you the third young lady. Mr. Gui has been in the palace for many years?" Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "In the darkness just now, a woman came to ask about killing Oboi, I admit it I killed it, so they sent a little girl to give me zongzi to eat. It seems that this treasure is right." Said: "It's only a little over a year." Mrs. Zhuang said: "Mr. What happened to Prime Minister Oboi, can you tell the little girl?" Hearing that she called Oboi a "treacherous prime minister", Wei Xiaobao was even more at ease, as if he had a pair of Supreme Treasures in his hand, no matter what the other two cards were, if he turned out the cards, he would kill but not pay, at most And over.Immediately, I will talk about how Kangxi ordered the capture, how Oboi resisted, how all the small prison guards rushed up, but killed several people for him, how he blinded his eyes with incense burner ashes, and then he caught him, etc., but Kangxi drew his sword and wounded him. He, however, said that he unexpectedly stabbed Oboi's back severely. Mrs. Zhuang didn't say a word, she listened silently, when she heard how Wei Xiaobao sprinkled censer ashes to captivate Oboi's eyes, stabbed him in the back with a knife, and smashed him in the head with the copper censer to capture him, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.Wei Xiaobao is used to listening to Mr. Storyteller's storytelling, where to be short and where to be loud, and the key points are just right. What's more, he has experienced this matter himself, and he explained all kinds of subtle twists and turns in great detail. Add some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar Well, listening to him tell this story, I'm afraid it's a bit more thrilling than when he captured Oboi. Mrs. Zhuang said: "So that's how it is. The rumors outside are not entirely untrue. It is said that Mr. Gui is very good at martial arts. He fought with Oboi for three hundred rounds and subdued him with a unique trick. Think about Oboi's so-called 'The number one warrior in Manchuria', Mr. Gui is still young, no matter how good his martial arts are." Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "If there is a real fight, there will be a hundred Xiao Guizi, and they are no match for this traitor." Mrs. Zhuang said, "How did Oboi die later?" Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "Nine times out of ten these three young mistresses are not female ghosts, so they must be people from the martial arts world. When there is no need to tell a lie, don't tell a lie, lest the hard-earned money will be lost at the same time. "So according to the facts, how Kangxi sent him to inspect Oboi, how he came to attack Prince Kang's mansion when he met Tiandi, how he mistakenly believed that the person who came was Oboi's subordinate, how he broke into the prison cell and killed Oboi, etc. After talking one by one, he finally said: "These people turned out to be Oboi's enemies, heroes of the Qingmu Hall of the Tiandihui. They saw that I killed Oboi, and they were very polite to me, saying that they had avenged them." Mrs. Zhuang nodded and said: "Mr. Gui was accepted as a disciple by Mr. Chen Zongduo, and also became the incense master of the Qingmu Hall of the Tiandihui. It is because of this." Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "You know everything, why are you asking me?" He said: "I'm confused, I don't understand anything. To be the incense master of the Qingmu Hall of the Heaven and Earth Society is just a name." He didn't know Mrs. Zhuang and the Tiandihui are friends or enemies, let's talk about ambiguity first. Mrs. Zhuang pondered for a while, then said: "Mr. Gui killed Oboi in the prison cell, what kind of tactics did you use, can you show me?" Seeing her bright eyes, Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "This woman is very evil. I'm talking nonsense and bragging. I probably have to tear through the diorama. It's better to be honest." Standing up immediately, he said: "I What kind of tricks are there?" He gestured with his hands and said, "At that time, I was so frightened that I was out of my wits, and it was a mess, just a few times." Mrs. Zhuang nodded and said: "Mr. Gui, please sit down." She stood up and said, "Shuanger, why don't you get some of our sweet-scented osmanthus candy and invite Mr. Gui to taste it?" Wanfu is a gift and walks into the inner hall. Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "She invited me to eat sweets, of course she has no malicious intentions." After all, he was a little worried: "Although these three young ladies don't look like female ghosts, maybe she has a high moral character and doesn't show her ghostly aura." Shuang'er walked into the inner hall, and came out with a high blue and white porcelain plate, which contained a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus candies and pine nut candies, and said with a smile: "Mr. into the inner hall.
Sitting in the flower hall, Wei Xiaobao ate a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus candies and pine nut candies, hoping for dawn soon. After a long time, I suddenly heard the rustling of clothes. There were many pairs of eyes behind the door, beside the window, and beside the screen. They were peeping at him secretly. They seemed to be the eyes of women. In the darkness, it was difficult to tell whether it was a person or not Ghost, I can only see the hairs in his heart. Suddenly an old woman's voice was heard saying outside the long window: "Mr. Gui, you killed the traitor Oboi and avenged our family. I don't know how to repay you for your kindness." The long window was open, and dozens of people were outside the window. The woman in white bowed to the ground. Wei Xiaobao was taken aback, and hastily replied.All the women kowtowed underground, and he kowtowed too, and the long window was closed suddenly.The old woman said: "You don't need to be polite, you don't dare to be a widow." But outside the long window, the sobbing and weeping of the women could be heard loudly. Wei Xiaobao was terrified, after a while, the sound of crying gradually faded away, and these women all dispersed.Like a dream, he wondered: "Is it a human or a ghost? It seems...it seems..." After a while, Mrs. Zhuang came out from the inner hall and said, "Mr. Gui, please don't be surprised. The people who live here are all the survivors of the loyal ministers and righteous men who were killed by Obai. Everyone knows that Mr. Gui killed Obai. We have to take revenge, and we are all grateful." Wei Xiaobao said: "Then Mrs. Zhuang... was also killed by Oboi?" Mrs. Zhuang lowered her head and said, "Exactly. Everyone here is weeping blood and grieving, waiting day and night for revenge. Unexpectedly, this traitor is full of evil so quickly. Died under Gui Xianggong." Wei Xiaobao said: "I don't have any credit, it's just a coincidence." Shuang'er took out his bundle and put it on the table.Mrs. Zhuang said: "Mr. Gui, it's hard to repay your kindness and virtue. It's reasonable to treat you well. It's just a widow. It's quite inconvenient. We discussed it and wanted to give some small gifts to show our heart, but Gui Xianggong has a lot of luggage and a huge sum of money. In our countryside, what else does Gui Xianggong admire? As for martial arts and so on, Gui Xianggong is the disciple of Chief Chen of the Tiandihui, which is far better than ours. Some superficial skills, this is really embarrassing." Wei Xiaobao heard her speak politely, and said: "You're welcome. I just want to ask, where are my companions?" Mrs. Zhuang thought for a while, and said: "Since I have seen the question, I dare not not answer it. But after benefactor knows, I am afraid that it will be harmful and not beneficial. These are benefactor's friends. We should do our best not to let them It’s just a little bit of damage. They will be able to meet En Gong again in the future.” Wei Xiaobao thought it would be useless to ask again, so he raised his head and looked at the window, thinking: "Why is it still not bright?" Mrs. Zhuang seemed to understand his intentions, and asked: "Where is Engong going tomorrow?" Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "She must have heard the answer between me and Zhang Laosan, so I can't hide it from her." Said: "I Going to Mount Wutai in Shanxi." Mrs. Zhuang said: "The journey to Mount Wutai is not close, I'm afraid there may be troubles along the way. We want to give our benefactor a gift, but please don't be lucky." Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "It's kind of him Give me something, but I never refuse to accept it.” Mrs. Zhuang said: "That's great." Pointing to Shuang'er, she said, "This little girl, Shuang'er, has followed me for many years and has done well. We gave it to benefactor, please take it, and serve him from now on." .” Wei Xiaobao was both surprised and delighted, he didn't expect that when she said to give him a gift, it turned out to be a person, just now Shuang'er served him, ironing and braiding, saving a lot of effort, if there is such a beautiful and well-behaved little girl It is indeed very happy to be by my side, but this trip to Wutai Mountain may not be peaceful, I have to adapt to the situation, and it is very inconvenient to bring a little girl with me, and said: "Mrs. Zhuang gave me this important gift, thank you so much Extremely. It's just...just..." If you want to push it away, why don't you accept it when someone gives you a gift?Secondly, such a good girl is really reluctant to have.I saw Shuang'er lowered her head and was peeking at her. As soon as his eyes shot over, she turned her head hastily, her face flushed. Mrs. Zhuang said: "I don't know what is the difficulty of my benefactor?" Wei Xiaobao said: "When I go to Wutai Mountain, most of the things I do are very... very difficult. I am afraid it will be inconvenient to take this girl with me." Mrs. Zhuang said: " Then there is no need to worry, although Shuang'er is young, her skills are quite nimble, she will not become a burden to benefactor, just rest assured." Wei Xiaobao glanced at Shuang'er again, saw the earnest look in her eyes like lacquer spots, and asked with a smile: "Shuang'er, would you like to come with me?" Shuang'er lowered her head and said softly: " The third young lady asked me to serve my husband, so naturally... naturally I have to listen to the third young lady's orders." Wei Xiaobao said: "Then do you want to do it yourself? I'm afraid you will encounter danger." Shuang'er said: "I'm not afraid of danger. .” Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "You answered my second question, but didn't answer the first one. You are not afraid of danger, but Madam sent you to me, but you are unwilling in your heart." Shuang'er said: "Madam He treats me with great kindness, and my husband has great kindness to my farmer. My wife told me to serve him, so I will do my best. If my husband treats me well, it is my fate. If he treats me badly, it is me...it is my fate. "Wei Xiaobao laughed, and said: "Your life is very good, you won't have a hard life." There was a slight smile on the corner of Shuang'er's mouth. Mrs. Zhuang said: "Shuang'er, you have paid homage to Mr. Gui, and you will be Mr. Gui's man from now on." Shuang'er raised her head, suddenly her eye circles were red, she first knelt down and kowtowed to Madam Zhuang, and said, "Third Young Mistress, I...I..." After saying two words of "I", weeping softly.Mrs. Zhuang stroked her hair, and said softly: "Mr. Gui is a young hero who has become famous all over the world at a young age. You should serve him well. He promised to treat you well." Shuang'er replied: "Yes." Turning around, Bow down to Wei Xiaobao Yingying. Wei Xiaobao said: "You're welcome!" He helped her up, opened the bundle, took out a string of pearls, and said with a smile, "This is my meeting gift!" He thought to himself: "This string of pearls is worth three or four thousand taels of silver. When I came to buy maidservants, I got dozens of them. But the sum of dozens of maidservants is not as cute as this pair." Shuang'er took it with both hands, and said: "Thank you, Mr.." Hanging around her neck, the precious light on the beads flowed, making her pretty face even more beautiful. Mrs. Zhuang said: "Mr. Engong went to Wutai Mountain. I wonder if he intends to investigate openly or secretly?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Of course it was an unannounced visit." Long Zhishi, benefactor, please be careful." Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes, thank you for your instructions. But you don't dare to call me benefactor. You can call me Xiaobao." Mrs. Zhuang said, "I dare not take it." Standing up, she said, "Treasure the journey, and the survivors will not send it away." She said to Shuang'er, "Shuang'er, after you leave this door, you are no longer a member of the Zhuang family. From now on, what you say and do has nothing to do with the old master, if you mess around outside, my dealer will not protect you." Said these words, his expression was very solemn.Shuang'er agreed.Mrs. Zhuang saluted Wei Xiaobao again and walked in. Seeing the light on the window paper, the sky gradually brightened.Shuang'er went in and brought out a bundle, and carried Wei Xiaobao's bundle on his back.Wei Xiaobao said: "Let's go!" Shuang'er said: "Yes!" He lowered his head, looked sad, kept looking towards the back hall, obviously parting from Mrs. Zhuang, quite reluctant to part.Her eyes were red, she must have cried just now.
Wei Xiaobao walked out of the gate, Shuang'er followed behind.At that time, the heavy rain had stopped, but the mountain stream was rushing, and the sound of water was everywhere.Wei Xiaobao walked dozens of steps, turned his head to look at the big house, but saw the mist covered the corner of the room in front of the wall, and walked dozens of steps, turned his head and looked back, he couldn't see anything. He sighed and said, "What happened last night was really like a dream. Shuang'er, what did Madam tell you in the last few words, what do you mean?" Serving the husband, no matter what she says or does, it has nothing to do with her dealer." Wei Xiaobao said: "Then, where are my companions, you can tell me!" Shuang'er was stunned, and said: "Yes. Mr. Xianggong's companions were all rescued by us, and Zhang Laosan and his subordinates were also arrested by us, but later on, powerful figures from the Dragon Sect came, but they didn't All the brains were snatched away. The third young lady said, we are all girls, and it is inconvenient to fight violently with those wild men. Besides, we may not be able to fight well. Let them go for now, and ask someone else to rescue your few A companion. Seeing that we backed down, the members of the Dragon Cult left and said a few polite words before leaving." Wei Xiaobao nodded, Fang Yi and Mu Jianping were quite worried about their situation.Shuang'er said: "The third young lady once told the leader of the Shenlong Cult that you must not hurt the lives of your companions. That person agreed with himself." Wei Xiaobao sighed: "These guys from the Shenlong Cult, I am afraid that their words are like Fart, alas, but there is no way." Then asked: "Does the third young lady know martial arts?" Shuang'er said: "Yes, not only know, but also very good." Wei Xiaobao shook his head and said: "She is such a person who can be blown down by the wind, how can she be very good at martial arts? If she is really good at martial arts, how can Third Young Master be killed by Oboi?" Shuang'er said: " When the old master and the third young master were murdered, none of the dozens of families knew martial arts. At that time, the men were all captured by Obai and killed in Beijing, and the women were sent to Ninggu Pagoda. On the way, I met a savior, who killed the acquaintance, rescued dozens of women from our family, settled here, and passed on the skills of the three young wives to them." Wei Xiaobao gradually understood. At that time, the sky was already bright, the east morning was dawning, and the heavy rain that night washed the trees in the mountains and forests into verdant green. Until now, Wei Xiaobao didn't have the slightest doubt that what he saw last night was a female ghost, and asked: "You guys There are so many mourning halls in the house, are they all the masters and young masters who were killed by Oboi?" Shuang'er said: "Exactly. We live in seclusion in the deep mountains and never interact with outsiders. Some curious people from the nearby countryside come to check their brains, and we always pretend to be ghosts to scare them away. So everyone said it was a coincidence. Haunted house, no one has dared to come here for the past year. Unexpectedly, the husband will come last night. The third young lady said, our revenge has not been avenged, and everything must be kept very secret. There are dead masters and young masters written on the tablet of the mourning hall If outsiders see my name, it will be very inconvenient. When my husband asked me last night, I dare not say it. But the third young lady said, from now on, I will only serve my husband and have nothing to do with the dealer. Naturally, I can do nothing I won't lie to you anymore." Wei Xiaobao happily said: "Yes. Let me tell you, my real name is Wei Xiaobao, and something like Gui Gonggong is a pseudonym. You are from my Wei family, not from the Gui family." Shuang'er was very happy and said: "My husband even told me his real name, and I will never reveal it." Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "My real name is not a big secret. Many brothers in the Tiandihui know it." Shuang'er said: "When those people from the Shenlong Sect fight with you, the third young lady and the others are watching the fun outside. When they see them, they will chant mantras, muttering mantras..." Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "Hong The leader has supernatural powers, and his lifespan is as long as the sky. I can also recite this kind of incantation." Shuang'er said: "The third young lady said that they must be using some other spells in the dark, otherwise they would not Suddenly, when the mantra was recited, the skill of the hands increased several times. Later, when the youngest Zhang was talking to you, and the third young lady was listening outside the window, the others turned off the lights in the hall and captured the whole group with fishing nets. .” Wei Xiaobao slapped his thigh and shouted: "Excellent! Use fishing nets to catch people? That's very good." Shuang'er said: "The third young lady said that Zhang Lao San's martial arts are nothing special, it is just that he is powerful in demons , so I didn't fight him head-on, as soon as I led him out, I turned off the lights, and the fishing net was like this..." Wei Xiaobao said: "Caught a bastard." Shuang'er giggled and said, "There is a lake behind the mountain. We often go fishing at night. When we were in Huzhou, the farmer's house was close to Taihu Lake, so the lake was big. At that time, our farmer had a lot of fishing boats and rented them out to fishermen. Fishing. The third young lady and the others have seen how fishermen cast nets to catch fish." Wei Xiaobao said: "You are indeed from Huzhou, no wonder the Huzhou rice dumplings are so delicious. How did the third young master get killed by Oboi?" Shuang'er said: "Third young lady said that it's called 'literary prison'." Wei Xiaobao wondered: "Mosquito meat? Mosquitoes also have meat?" Shuang'er said: "It's not mosquitoes, it's writing, the writing! Our young master is A scholar, he is very knowledgeable. After he was blind, he wrote a book, and in the book there were words scolding the Manchurians..." Wei Xiaobao said: "Tsk tsk tsk, it's amazing, I can still write articles when I am blind. My eyes are not good. Blind, I still can’t read after seeing other people’s writing, I’m called a ‘bright-eyed blind’!” Shuang’er said: “The old lady often said that if the world is wrong, it’s better to be illiterate. The few days we lived together The family members, every master and young master who suffered are all scholars and talents, and none of their articles are world-famous. It is because of their articles that they have made disasters. But the third young lady said that the Manchurians We Han people are not allowed to read and make articles, but we have to read and do it, so as not to satisfy the Tartars." Wei Xiaobao said: "Then do you know how to make a fuss?" Shuang'er smiled and said, "My husband really likes to tell jokes, how can a little girl make a fuss? The third young lady taught me to read, but I only read seven or eight books." Wei Xiaobao said with a "wow", "You have read seven or eight books! That's much better than me. I only know seven or eight characters." Shuang'er laughed and said: "My husband doesn't like reading, old lady I must like you. She said that when it came to the Qing Dynasty, prodigal sons only read books." Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes! I see that Oboi is not very literate, he must have been told by a flatterer." Shuang'er said: "Yes. What is the book written by our young master called "History of Ming Dynasty" ", there are words in the book that scolded the Manchu people. There was a villain named Wu Zhirong, who took the book and reported it to Aobai. When the incident became serious, hundreds of people were killed. They were all captured and beheaded. Mr. Xiang, have you seen this Wu Zhirong in Beijing?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I haven't seen it yet. If you look slowly, you will find it. Shuang'er, I want to trade you for someone else." Shuang'er was taken aback, and tremblingly said: "You...you want to give me to someone?" Wei Xiaobao said: "It's not for someone else, but for someone else." Shuang'er's eyes were already red, and she was so anxious I was about to cry, and said, "What... what for another person?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Your third young lady gave you to me, such a great gift is not easy to repay. I have to find a way to capture Wu Zhirong and give it to your third young lady. Then this gift is about the same gone." Shuang'er smiled through tears, patted his chest lightly with his right hand, and said: "You scared me, I still think that my husband doesn't want me." Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed, and said: "You are afraid that I don't want you, so you are so anxious. Don't worry, even if people pile up mountains of gold, silver, pearls, and precious stones in front of me, they won't be able to replace you." While talking, the two had already walked to the foot of the mountain, but seeing the clear sky and the dust in the distance, Wei Xiaobao recalled the embarrassing scene of going to the "haunted house" to avoid the rain in the heavy rain last night, it was really very different.It's just that Xu Tianchuan, Fang Yi, Mu Jianping and the others fell into the trap and were captured. I don't know if they can get out of danger. With their own abilities, they can't save them no matter what. Since it's useless to think about it, it's better not to think about it.
After traveling for a few miles, they came to a market, and the two found a noodle shop, and went in to get some food.After Wei Xiaobao sat down, Shuang'er stood by and waited on him. Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "You're welcome, just sit down and eat together." Shuang'er said: "No, how can I eat at the same table as my husband? It's too rude." Wei Xiaobao said: "What the fuck are the rules? No rules. I say yes, that’s fine. You can eat after I’ve finished eating, so it’s too late.” Shuang’er said: “As soon as my husband finishes eating, let’s go. I’ll buy some steamed buns and eat as we go. It's too late." Wei Xiaobao sighed: "I have a strange temper, if I eat alone, my stomach will definitely be troubled, if no one eats with me, my stomach will hurt later, it will be hard to bear." Shuang'er smiled sweetly, and had no choice but to pull out a bench and sit obliquely at the corner of the table. Wei Xiaobao only had a few chopsticks to eat from a bowl of noodles, when he saw three Tibetan lamas walk into the shop, sat down by the street, and shouted in succession: "Bring me noodles! Bring me noodles!" A lama glanced at two The string of pearls in the son's neck bumped into his companion with his left elbow, and pouted to signal.When the other two saw it, their faces were filled with joy, and they looked at the string of beads intently. Wei Xiaobao thought in his heart: "No, these three guys want to block the road and rob." He took out a piece of silver and asked a shop assistant in the noodle shop to hire a cart, finished eating the noodles in a hurry, got into the cart, and ordered the driver to drive west run. After driving for a few miles, only the sound of horseshoes behind the carriage was heard, Wei Xiaobao looked back, and saw the three lamas chasing after him on horseback, he said to Shuang'er: "Those three villains want to rob you of your beads, so give them up I’ll buy another string for you later.” Shuang’er said: “Yes! You don’t need to buy it.” Only three lamas shouted: “Stop, stop!” The coachman stopped the mule. Three lamas rode forward and stopped in front of the car.One said, "Two dolls, get out of the car!" Shuang'er took off the string of pearls around his neck, handed them out of the car, and said, "You guys like this string of beads. My husband told you to give them to you, so take them." A fat lama stretched out his big hand, but didn't After catching the beads, he leaned forward, grabbed Shuang'er's wrist, and pulled it outward.Wei Xiaobao said urgently: "If you want more money, don't be rough!" But seeing the yellow shadow flickering, the lama flew up, leaped into the air, and jumped out backwards. Wei Xiaobao secretly called out: "Good work!" Seeing his body falling sharply, but his head and feet were on the ground, there was a sound of waves, a big fat head rushed into the mud, sunk straight to his chest, his feet danced wildly.Wei Xiaobao was surprised and delighted, he didn't know what kind of kung fu this lama showed. The other two lamas screamed and rushed to grab him and pull him out of the mud.The lama's face was covered with wet mud, and he was extremely embarrassed.Fortunately, it rained heavily last night and soaked the roadside with soft mud, so the lama was not injured. Wei Xiaobao laughed loudly, and said to the driver: "Hurry up and leave!" Shuang'er held the bead in his hand and asked, "Master, will you give this bead back to them?" Wei Xiaobao hadn't answered yet, when the three lamas each pulled out steel knives from their waists, and rushed forward viciously.双儿从车夫手中接过鞭子，向外甩出，卷住了一名喇嘛手中钢刀，鞭子回缩，左手将刀接住，右手又将鞭子甩了出去，一卷之下，将第二名喇嘛手中钢刀也夺了过来。第三名喇嘛叫声：“啊哟！”一呆停步。双儿手中鞭子又已甩出，这次却卷住了他头颈，顺势将他拉到车前，随手接过他手中钢刀。那喇嘛喉头被鞭子勒住，双眼翻白，伸出舌头，满脸登时没半点血色。余下两名喇嘛分从左右向双儿攻到，意欲相救同伴。双儿跃起身来，左足站在车辕，右足连踢，两名喇嘛头上穴道被点，晕倒在地。她挥手松开鞭子，那喇嘛已窒息良久，也即昏倒。 韦小宝喜欢之极，跳起身来，叫道：“双儿，好双儿，原来你功夫这样了得。” 双儿微微一笑，道：“那也没什么，是这三个恶人不中用。” 韦小宝道：“早知这样，我也不用担这半天心事了。”跳下车来，在一名喇嘛身上踢了一脚，问道：“你们干甚么的？”那喇嘛兀自昏晕不醒。 双儿在他腰间踢了一脚。那喇嘛一声呻吟，醒了过来。双儿道：“相公问你们是干甚么的？”那喇嘛道：“姑娘……姑娘是会……会仙法的么？”双儿微笑道：“快说！你们是干甚么的？”那喇嘛道：“我们……我们是五台山菩萨顶……大文殊寺的喇嘛。”双儿皱眉道：“甚么喇嘛不喇嘛的，胡说八道，说这等粗话。”韦小宝道：“喇嘛是西藏的和尚。”双儿道：“原来你们是和尚。”在他身上轻轻踢了一脚，道：“是和尚又不剃光头？” 那喇嘛道：“我们是喇嘛，不是和尚。”双儿道：“甚么？你还嘴硬？相公说你是和尚，就是和尚！”在他腰间“天豁穴”上又踢一脚，那喇嘛直痛到骨髓里去，忍不住大声呼叫，疼痛越来越厉害，叫声也越来越响。另外两名喇嘛悠悠转醒，听到他杀猪般大叫，无不骇然，齐用藏语相询，那喇嘛说了，随即用汉语叫道：“我是和尚，我是和尚，姑娘说……说我是甚么，就……就是甚么，求求你……快快给我……解了穴道。” 双儿笑道：“姑娘说的不算数，相公说的才算数。相公，你说他是什么？” 韦小宝笑道：“我说他是尼姑！” 那喇嘛实已忍耐不住，忙道：“我是尼姑，我是尼姑！”韦小宝和双儿一齐大笑。双儿左足在他颈下“气户穴”上轻轻一踢，那喇嘛剧痛立止，兀自不停的叫唤：“我是尼姑，我是尼姑！” 韦小宝忍住了笑，问道：“你们是出家人，为甚么来抢我们财物？”那喇嘛道：“小人该死，下次再也不敢了。”韦小宝道：“你还想下次么？”那喇嘛道：“我说过不敢，就是不敢，再过一百年也不敢了。”韦小宝道：“你们不在庙里念经，下山来干甚么？”那喇嘛道：“是……是师父派我们下山来的。”韦小宝道：“你们师父派你们下山来抢金银珠宝？”那喇嘛道：“不……不是。我们要去北京……”刚说到这里，另一名胖大喇嘛咳嗽了一声。 韦小宝斜眼瞧去，只见那喇嘛连使眼色，显是示意同伴不可吐露实情。韦小宝本想这些喇嘛见财起意，恃强抢劫，也没什么大不了。满洲人崇信喇嘛，皇宫中做法事，定是请喇嘛拜忏诵经。皇室如此，一般王公亲贵更加不必说了，是以颇有不守清规的喇嘛在京里横行不法。他本想作弄折磨他们一番，资为笑乐，就此将他们放了，但见这胖大喇嘛这等神情，似乎另有别情，说道：“这三个家伙捣鬼。双儿，你在他们三人身上每人踢一脚，让他们三人叫苦连天，咱们这就去罢！” 双儿应道：“是！”她也瞧出那胖大喇嘛捣鬼，先在他“天豁穴”上踢了一脚。那喇嘛立时大声呼叫。双儿又走到先前那喇嘛身边，提起脚来，作势欲踢。 那喇嘛吃过苦头，忙道：“别踢，我说就是。师父差我们上北京，送一封信。”韦小宝道：“信呢？”那喇嘛道：“这……这信是不能给你们看的，要是给人见到了，师……师父非杀我们不可。”韦小宝道：“拿出来！你不拿，我就踢你一脚。”说着走上一步。 那喇嘛可不知他功夫有限，这一脚踢在身上，无关痛痒，一见他提脚，忙道：“不……不在我这里。”韦小宝道：“你去拿来！”那喇嘛无奈，走到那胖大喇嘛身前，叽哩咕噜的说了几句藏语。那胖大喇嘛以藏语回答，他正在杀猪也似的大叫大嚷，再夹入断断续续的几句藏语，更加难听。韦小宝从他语气与神情之中，料想他定是不许这喇嘛取信，当即走过去在他脑门上狠狠踢了一脚，那胖大喇嘛登时晕去。另一名喇嘛从他怀中取出一个油布小包，战战兢兢的双手递过。 韦小宝接了过来。双儿从怀里也取出一个小包，打了开来，拿出一把小小剪刀，剪开包裹，里面果是一封信，封皮上写的是两行藏文。 韦小宝问道：“这信送去给谁？”那喇嘛道：“给我们师伯的。”韦小宝伸手一扯，嗤的一声，扯开了封皮。两个喇嘛连声叫苦。只见一道黄纸上写了几行弯弯曲曲的藏文，下面又用朱砂画了一道符，希奇古怪，不知所云。这封信便是以汉文书写，韦小宝也是不识，当即递给双儿，问道：“里面写些什么？” 双儿也不识得，向那喇嘛道：“相公问你信里写些什么，快说！如有半句假话，我踢了你的穴道，永不给你解开。哼，至少也得隔上三天三晚，才给你解开。” 那喇嘛接过信去，看了一遍又一遍，嗫嚅道：“这个……这个……”韦小宝道：“甚么这个那个的？快说！”那喇嘛道：“是，是！那信中说道，师兄所问那个人……”刚说到这里，另一个喇嘛忽然咕噜咕噜的说起话来。双儿飞身过去，在他“天豁穴”上一脚踢去，这喇嘛的话声立时变成了呻吟和呼号。 第一个喇嘛脸色大变，颤声道：“那信中说……说道要找的那个人，我们找来找去找不到，一定……一定不在五台山上。” 韦小宝见他目光闪烁，说话吞吞吐吐，心想：“我虽不懂你们的鸡鸣狗叫，可是瞧你神气，定是在说假话，只不过你这家伙太笨，假话也说不像。”向双儿道：“这喇嘛又在撒谎骗我了。”双儿道：“他这样坏，那可饶他不得。”伸足再在他“天豁穴”上一踢。 那喇嘛叫道：“你……杀了我罢。我师兄说……说的，倘若说了信中言语，我们……我们三个都活不成的……你……你快杀了我罢。” 韦小宝道：“别理他了，咱们走罢！”和双儿跃上大车。那车夫见他二人小小年纪，居然收拾得三个喇嘛死去活来，佩服得五体投地，赞不绝口。 韦小宝低声道：“到得前面市镇之上，你可得改装，这串明珠也得收了起来。”双儿道：“是。我改甚么装？”韦小宝微笑道：“你改了男装罢。”
车行三十余里后，到了一座大市镇。韦小宝遣去车夫，赴客店投宿，取出银子，命双儿去购买衣衫改装。双儿买了衣衫回店，穿着起来，扮作了一个俊俏的小书僮。 这一改装，路上再不引人注目。双儿武功了得，人情世故却全然不懂，一路上全由韦小宝拿主意，但他的主意可也不大高明，往往有三分正经，却有七分胡闹。 不一日来到直晋两省交界。自直隶省阜平县往西，过长城岭，便到龙家关。那龙家关是五台山的东门，石径崎岖，峰峦峻峭，入五台山后第一座寺院是涌泉寺。 韦小宝问起清凉寺的所在，却原来五台山极大，清凉寺在南台顶与中台顶之间，自涌泉寺前去，路程着实不近。 这晚韦小宝和双儿在涌泉寺畔的卢家庄投宿，吃了一碗羊肉泡馍，再吃糖果，心想日间在涌泉寺问路，庙里的和尚见自己年轻，神情冷冷的不大理睬，不答去清凉寺的路径，反问：“道路又远又不好走，你去清凉寺干什么？”一副讨厌模样，倒有七分便似扬州禅智寺中那些势利的贼秃，到清凉寺中去见顺治皇帝，只怕挺不容易，须得想个法子才好。 他嘴里吃糖，心中寻思：“有钱能使鬼推磨，叫和尚推磨，多半也行罢。曾听说书先生说，鲁智深到五台山出家，一个甚么员外在庙里布施了不少银两，鲁智深在庙里乱闹一通，又喝酒又吃狗肉，老和尚也不生气。是了，我假装要做法事，到庙里大撒银子，再借些因头，赖着不走，慢慢的找寻老皇爷，老和尚总不能赶我走。” 但入山之后，除了寺庙之外便没大市镇，一张五百两银子的银票也找兑不开，只得再出龙泉关，回到阜平，兑换银两，和双儿俩打扮得焕然一新，心想：“我要做法事，可是甚么也不懂，只怕一下子便露出马脚来，先得试演一番。” 当下来到阜平县城内一座庙宇吉祥寺，向佛像磕了几个头。知客和尚取出缘簿笔砚。韦小宝挥手道：“布施便布施，写什么字？”取出一锭五十两的元宝，送了过去。那和尚大惊，心想这位小施主乐善好施，世间少有，当下连声称谢，迎入斋房，奉上斋菜素面。 韦小宝吃面之时，方丈和尚坐在一旁相陪，大赞小檀越仁心虔敬，必蒙菩萨保佑，日后金榜题名，高中状元，子孙满堂，福泽无穷。韦小宝暗暗好笑，心想你拍我什么马屁都好，我瞎字不识，说我高中状元，那不是当面骂人吗？说道：“老和尚，我要到五台山去做一场大法事，只是我什么也不懂，要请你指教。” 那方丈听到“大法事”三字，登时站起身来，说道：“施主，天下庙宇，供奉的佛祖、菩萨都是一般，你要做法事，就在小寺里办好了，包你一切周到妥贴，却不用辛辛苦苦的赶上五台山上去。” 韦小宝摇头道：“不行，我这场法事，许下了心愿，一定要去五台山做的。”说着又取出五十两银子，说道：“这样罢，你给我雇一个人，陪我上五台山去做帮手。五十两银子是给他的。”老和尚大喜，道：“那容易，那容易！”他有个表弟，在庙里经管庙产，收租买物，全由他经手，却不是和尚，当下去叫了他来，和韦小宝相见。 此人姓于，行八，一张嘴极是来得，却有个外号叫做“少一划”，原来“于”字加上一划，变成个“王”字，于八便成王八了。三言两语之间，韦小宝便和他十分投机。这等市井小人，韦小宝自幼便相处惯了的，这时忽然在阜平县遇上一个，大有他乡遇故知之感。 韦小宝再向方丈请教做法事的诸般规矩，那方丈倒也知无不言，言无不尽。韦小宝心想：“和尚们的规矩倒也真多！”又多布施了二十两银子。 韦小宝带了于八回到客店，取出银子，差他去购买一应物事。于八有银子在手，办事十分快捷，不多时诸般物品便已买齐，自己也穿得一身光鲜，说道：“韦相公，你是大财主，我做你亲随，也该穿着得有个谱儿，是不是？这套衣服鞋帽，不过花了三两五钱银子。”韦小宝心想不错，又叫他去衣铺替自己和双儿多买几套华贵衣衫。 三人兴兴头头的过龙泉关，后面跟着八个挑夫，挑了八担斋僧礼佛之物，沿大路往南。 一入五台山，行不数里便是一座寺庙，过涌泉寺后，经台麓寺、石佛庙、普济寺、古佛寺、金刚库、白云寺、金灯寺而至灵境寺。当晚在灵境寺借宿一宵，次晨折回向北，到金阁寺后向西数里，便是清凉寺了。
那清凉寺在清凉山之巅，和沿途所见寺庙相比，也不见得如何宏伟，山门破旧，显已年久失修。韦小宝微觉失望：“皇帝出家，一定拣一座最大的寺庙，只怕海老乌龟瞎说八道，老皇帝并不在这里做和尚。” 于八进入山门，向知客僧告知，北京城有一位韦大官人要来大做法事，斋僧供佛。知客僧见这一行人衣饰华贵，又带着八挑物事，当即请进厢房奉茶，入内向方丈禀报。 方丈澄光老和尚来到厢房，和韦小宝相见，问道：“不知施主要做甚么法事？” 韦小宝见这澄光方丈身材甚高，但骨瘦如柴，双目微闭，一副没精打采的模样，更是失望，说道：“弟子要请大和尚做七日七夜法事，超渡弟子亡父，还有几位亡故了的朋友。” 澄光道：“北京城里大庙甚多，五台山也是庙宇众多，不知施主为甚么路远迢迢的，特地上五台山来，到小庙做法事？” 韦小宝早知有此一问，事先已和于八商量过，便道：“我母亲上个月十五做了一梦，梦见我死去的爹爹，向她说道，他生前罪业甚大，必须到五台山清凉寺，请方丈大师拜七日七夜经忏，才消得他的血光之灾，免得我爹爹在地狱中受无穷苦恼。”他不知自己父亲是谁，更不知他是死是活，说这番话时，忍不住暗暗好笑，又想：“他妈的，你生下了老子，就此撒手不管，下地狱也是该的。老子给你碰巧做七日七夜法事，是你的天大运气。” 澄光方丈道：“原来如此。小施主，俗语说得好：日有所思，夜有所梦。这梦幻之事，实在是当不得真的。” 韦小宝道：“大和尚，俗语说得好：宁可信其有，不可信其无。就算我爹爹在梦里的言语未必是真，我们给他做一场法事，超渡亡魂，那也是一件功德。如果我爹爹真有此言，我们却不照他的话做，他在阴世给牛头马面、无常小鬼欺负折磨，那……那……我总有点儿不大好意思罢？再说，这是奉了我母亲之命。我母亲说五台山清凉寺的老方丈跟她有缘份，这场法事嘛，定是要在宝刹做的。”心想：“你跟我妈妈有缘份，这倒奇了，你到扬州丽春院去做过嫖客吗？” 澄光方丈“嘿”的一声，说道：“施主有所不知，敝寺乃是禅宗，这等经忏法事，是净土宗的事，我们是不会做的。这五台山上，金阁寺、普济寺、大佛寺、延庆寺等等都是净土宗，施主还是移步到那些寺庙去做法事的为是。” 韦小宝心想在阜平县时，那方丈抢着要做法事，到了此处，这老和尚却推三阻四，将送上门来的银子双手推将出去，其中必有古怪。他求之再三，澄光只是不允，跟着站起身来，向知客僧道：“你指点施主去金阁寺的道路，老衲少陪。” 韦小宝急了，忙道：“方丈既然执意不允，我带来施舍宝刹的僧衣、僧帽，以及银两，总是要请宝刹诸位大和尚赏收。” 澄光合十道：“多谢了。”他眼见韦小宝带来八挑礼物，竟然毫不起劲。 韦小宝道：“我母亲说道，每一份礼物，要我亲手交给宝刹每一位大和尚，就算是火工道人、种菜的园子，也都有份。带来共有三百份礼物，倘若不够，我们再去采购。”澄光道：“够了，太多了。本寺只五十来人，请施主留下五十六份物品就是。”韦小宝道：“可否请方丈召集合寺僧众，由我亲手施舍？这是我母亲的心愿，无论如何是要办到的。” 澄光抬起头来，突然间目光如电，在韦小宝脸上一扫，说道：“好！我佛慈悲，就如施主所愿。”转身进内。 瞧着他竹竿一般的背影走了进去，韦小宝心头说不出的别扭，讪讪的端起茶碗喝茶。 于八站在他背后，低声道：“这等背时的老和尚，姓于的这一辈子可还真少见，怪不得偌大一座清凉寺，连菩萨金身也是破破烂烂的。” 只听得庙里撞起钟来，知客僧道：“请檀越到西殿布施。”韦小宝到得西殿，见僧众络绎进来，他将施物一份一份发放，凝神注视每一名和尚，心想：“顺治皇帝我没见过，但他是小皇帝的爸爸，相貌总有些相像。只要见到是个大号小皇帝的和尚，那便是了。”可是五十多份施物发完，别说“大号小皇帝”没见到，连跟小皇帝相貌有一二分相似的和尚，也没一个。 韦小宝好生失望，突然想起：“他是做过皇帝之人，那是何等的身份，怎会来领我一份施舍的衣帽！我这计策可笨得很。”问知客僧道：“宝刹所有的僧人，全都来了？”知客僧道：“个个都领了，多谢檀越布施。”韦小宝道：“每一个都领了？恐怕不见得，只怕还有人不肯来取。”知客僧道：“檀越说笑话了，哪有此事？”韦小宝道：“出家人不打诳语，你如骗我，你死后要下拔舌地狱。”知客僧一听，登时变色。 韦小宝道：“既然尚有僧人未来领取，大和尚去请他来领罢！” 知客僧摇头道：“只有方丈大师未领，我看不必再要他老人家出来了。”
正在这时，一名僧人匆匆忙忙进来，说道：“师兄，外面有十几名喇嘛要见方丈。”跟着低声道：“他们身上都带着兵器，磨拳擦掌的，来意不善。”知客僧皱眉道：“五台山青庙黄庙，自来河水不犯井水，他们来干什么？你去禀报方丈，我出去瞧瞧。”说着向韦小宝说道：“少陪。”快步出去。 韦小宝笑道：“这些臭喇嘛，只怕是冲着我们来的。”他想双儿武功高强，十几名喇嘛也不放在心上。忽听得山门外传来一阵喧哗之声，一群人冲进了大雄宝殿。韦小宝道：“瞧瞧热闹去。”拉着双儿的手，一齐出去。 到得大殿，只见十几名黄衣喇嘛围住了知客僧，七嘴八舌的乱嚷：“非搜不可，有人亲眼见他来到清凉寺的。”“这是你们不对，干么把人藏了起来？”“乖乖的把人交了出来便罢，否则的话，哼哼！” 韦小宝走到殿边一站，双手扠腰，心道：“老子就在这里，你们放马过来罢。”岂知那些喇嘛对他全不理睬，正眼也不向他瞧。 吵嚷声中，澄光方丈走了出来，缓缓的道：“甚么事？”知客僧道：“好教方丈得知，他们……”他“方丈”二字一出口，那些喇嘛便都围到澄光身畔，叫道：“你是方丈？那好极了！”“快把人交出来！要是不交，连你这寺院也一把火烧个干净。”“岂有此理，真正岂有此理！”“难道做了和尚，便可不讲理么？” 澄光道：“请问众位师兄，是哪座庙里的？光临敝寺，为了何事？” 一名黄衣上披着红色袈裟的喇嘛道：“我们打从西藏来，奉了活佛之命，到中原公干，岂知有一名随从的小喇嘛给一个贼和尚拐走了，在清凉寺中藏了起来。方丈和尚，你快快把我们这小喇嘛交出来，否则决计不能跟你甘休。” 澄光道：“这倒奇了。我们这里是禅宗青庙，跟西藏密宗素来没有瓜葛。贵处走失了小喇嘛，何不到各处黄庙去问问？”那喇嘛怒道：“有人亲眼见到，那小喇嘛是在清凉寺中，这才前来相问，否则我们吃饱了饭没事干，来瞎闹么？你识趣的，快把小喇嘛交出来，我们也就不看僧面看佛面，不再追究了。” 澄光摇头道：“倘若真有小喇嘛来到清凉寺，各位就算不问，老衲也不能让他容身。” 几名喇嘛齐声叫道：“那么让我们搜一搜！”澄光仍是摇头，说道：“这是佛门清净之地，哪能容人说搜便搜。”那为首
