Xu Xian cupped his hands and said: "The poetic talent and Zen spirit of the three of them are beyond the reach of this young man. I deeply apologize for disturbing the enjoyment of several people, so I resigned." This is not a lie, but a sincere statement.

Poems. Regardless of Buddhism or Taoism, he is not qualified to sit at the same table with these three people.

Bai Suzhen also said: "This brother of mine has no excuses, so please forgive me."

The old monk, who had been drunk and silent all this time, suddenly said: "Okay, the husband sings and the wife follows. It is indeed a good match in the world, a match made in heaven."

Xiaoqing took a step forward, raised her eyebrows and said, "Monk, you are drunk! You are obviously talking about siblings, siblings!"

The smiling monk said: "Even if I drink a thousand cups, I am not drunk. Even when I look at you, you look like a husband and wife, not like siblings. Even if we don't become husband and wife today, we will still become husband and wife tomorrow."

.”

Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen looked at each other, then looked away together.

Xu Xian smiled and said: "I didn't know that the two of you actually hold the post of Yue Lao at the same time."

The smiling monk said: "It's that old man who robbed our business and pulled red strings randomly. If you see him, you have to beat him up." After saying this, he burst into laughter.

Xu Xian felt that these people were weird and garbled in their speech, so he didn't want to get into any more trouble. Just as he was about to leave, he stepped forward, soaked some wine and started writing on the table. After writing, he held up his hand and took Qingbai Er with him.

The girl leaves.

The three monks came together to take a look. Under the moonlight, the words on the stone table were clearly distinguishable. Fa Yuan read aloud: "The moon is setting, the crows are crying, the sky is full of frost, Jiang Feng and fishing fire are facing melancholy. Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City,

The midnight bell rings to the passenger ship."

The smiling monk laughed even more after hearing this, and said: "Monk, from now on, the incense of your ruined temple will become greatly prosperous due to this poem, and you should make more offerings to us in the future!"

Fa Yuan was silent for a moment, but the drunken monk burst into tears.

The smiling monk asked: "Hey, why is senior brother crying?"

The drunk-faced monk said: "I cry that this place will no longer be as pure as it is now." The moon was bright and the wind was blowing, and they passed through the pines together, blowing their clothes and eyebrows.

Fayuan pointed to the words on the table and said: "Why are you crying? It's gone." Sure enough, the poem "Fengqiao Night Mooring" has been submerged into the stone table, and no trace can be found anymore. The three monks knew in their hearts that this was what Xu Xian gave them.

choice!

But the drunk-faced monk cried, "Why not?" As he spoke, he lifted up his clothes and patted his bony chest. That meant that the poem was firmly engraved in his heart.

The Smiling Monk also said: "The clear breeze and bright moon are shared by all people in the world. This should be the case with these eternal quatrains."

Fayuan thought to himself: "What a Xu Xian. As soon as you came here, you allowed me to receive such kindness from you. I don't know how to get along with you in the future."

Without the Maple Bridge Night Mooring, Hanshan Temple would just be Hanshan Temple.

Xu Xian and the other two people came out of the small courtyard and saw Jue Yuan waiting in front of the door. They followed his footsteps again, but heard the cry coming from behind them. They couldn't help laughing and asked: "This senior brother, don't you know those two elders?"

What’s the origin?”

Xiaoqing also opened her curious eyes wide. This pair of monks actually said randomly that her sister and Xu Xian were going to be husband and wife.

Jue Yuan stopped, but only said: "The young monk was sent here, but it's a pity that he couldn't stay with us for one night."

Seeing that he was unwilling to say anything, Xu Xian did not force it, and said: "I am planning to settle down in Suzhou City. When I settle down, I will definitely come to visit you again."

Jue Yuan suddenly said: "Don't know who you are worshiping. Do you know which gods and Buddhas are enshrined in this temple?"

"Jueyuan, don't come back to me yet." But it was really the voice of the source of the law. The great thunder sound technique was integrated into ordinary words and breaths. It was really wonderful.

Jue Yuan smiled at the three of them, saluted again, turned around and walked away.

Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen looked at each other, and they were both curious. The only things enshrined in the temple were Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, so what else could be so strange about them.

Together we walked outside the main hall door and looked inside. The moon was as bright as day, but the high hall was enveloped in darkness.

But this naturally couldn't stop their eyes. When they closed their eyes and looked around, they saw two monks on the altar with smiling faces. They were the same two monks they saw just now.

Xu Xian was thinking about which god and Buddha this was when he heard Bai Suzhen exclaim: "Hehe two immortals!" His chest heaved and his face turned red.

Xu Xian then remembered these two gods who had disappeared in legends. If "Yue Lao" was the god of love in ancient times, then "Hehe Erxian" was the serious god of marriage. Old-style weddings must have these two

A god appears.

One is "Hanshan" and the other is "Shide". They are both realized Bodhisattva fruits, and combined into two immortals, Hehe. The two monks are good at poems and verses and are good at Zen. Today, there is still "Hanshan Poetry" left in the world. There were also many

Famous Zen pairs such as:

Hanshan asked Shide: "If someone in the world slanders me, bullies me, insults me, laughs at me, despises me, despises me, hates me, or deceives me, what should I do?"

Shide replied: "You might as well tolerate him, be humble to him, let him go, avoid him, be patient with him, respect him, ignore him, and take a look at him in a few years."

Bai Suzhen suppressed her thoughts, bowed to the two Bodhisattvas, and said softly: "Let's go!" But she was very uneasy. These two Bodhisattvas presided over the marriage in the world. Do they really want to marry Han Wen in the future?

Xiao Qing said: "What are the two immortals in harmony? I think they are just two fair-weather monks talking nonsense."

Bai Suzhen said hurriedly: "Xiaoqing, don't talk nonsense." However, seeing the pair of statues on the stage still laughing and joking, she felt a little relieved.

In the courtyard, under the ancient pine tree.

Shi De smiled and said: "That little snake said we are two fair-weather monks."

Han Shan said: "She can clearly see that we are not just two fair-weather monks."

Shi De said: "Senior brother, can you really tell that they are going to be husband and wife?"

Han Shan said: "That boy's fate is in such a mess, who can tell what he will do in the future?"

"and you?"

Hanshan said: "I was drunk, so of course I was talking drunken words." He muttered again: "Who asked him to overturn our table and hurt our face?"

Shi De pointed at the three people at the table with a smile and said: "You are greedy, you are angry, and I am laughing foolishly. As expected, you have all three poisons. Come, have another drink."

The three monks raised their glasses again and started drinking with each other, but they stopped writing poems. Under the shadow of the moon, the conversation and laughter could be heard far away.

There was no words for a night. That night, Xu Xian had a dream. In the dream, he was standing in the way of God and killing Buddha, and Buddha was standing in the way of killing God. He was proud of the world, was alone in defeat, and was undefeated in the East...

When I woke up from the dream, Suzhou was right in front of me.

Sitting on the bow of the boat, Xu Xian touched his head in pain, and all the scenes in the dream disappeared. He only remembered, "It seems to be an extremely confusing dream!"

Bai Suzhen hurriedly asked: "Are you getting married in the dream?" You know, the soul forms a dream. Practitioners like them will not dream easily. Dreams often mean premonitions...

Xu Xiandao: "It seems, no!"

Bai Suzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Xian said speechlessly: "You are still thinking about what those two crazy monks said! How can my fate be so easy to calculate? They must be talking nonsense. But does it hurt you so much to marry me?"

Bai Suzhen said hurriedly: "No, it's not..."

Xu Xiandao: "I'm joking, sister, I will visit shopkeeper Wu of Jirentang after we dock. You go find an inn to rest for a while. When I find a suitable store and residence, you can come back."

Okay." To join the Three Emperors Patriarch Association, you must first be a member of the Apricot Grove, and this medicine shop is indispensable.

Bai Suzhen said: "Leave it to me to take care of the drug store. You can go and do other things." She came to Suzhou with the ship because she wanted to help him.

Xiao Qing also said: "Because you vented your anger for me last night, I will call the five of them to help you." The five ghosts can still transform into bodies, appear in the daytime, and become a ghost.

Servants are enough.

Xu Xian smiled and said: "Then thank you two living Bodhisattvas."

Crossed the water gate, followed the river, and entered the city of Suzhou.

When they were about to arrive at the pier, they saw many people already waiting on the shore. When they saw the big ship docking, they all said in unison: "We are waiting for Mr. Xu to come." The sound was so loud that countless people on the pier looked over and wondered what was coming.

Such a character actually caused the Cao Gang to send out so many troops. The leader seemed to be the leader of the Cao Gang, Zhao, but he was a character that was not usually seen.

Xu Xian was convinced, this was Pan Yu's power. Even if he didn't say anything clear, as long as he showed an intimate attitude towards himself, he would be a wise person.

As soon as they stepped ashore, a man came forward and said, "My full name is Zhao, the deputy leader of the Cao Gang. I have been waiting here for Mr. Xu and Mr. Jin for a long time." It was almost noon, and the spring day was warm and warm.

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Zhao Quanming's forehead. It was true that he had been waiting for a long time.

Jin Shengjie rolled his eyes and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhao, for taking me. My nephew will leave now." He casually held his hand, patted Xu Xian's shoulder, squeezed out of the crowd, and left leisurely.

Xu Xian couldn't imitate his rogue appearance, so he raised his hands and said: "It turns out to be deputy gang leader Zhao. I'm disrespectful. I don't know how you and gang leader Zhao should be called." Looking at the deputy gang leader of the Cao Gang, he saw that he was wearing a small hat and had a round body.

He took off his silk clothes and just dressed up as an ordinary wealthy businessman. His face seemed to be smiling even when he was not smiling.

Zhao Quanming smiled and said: "It's my brother." Xu Xian also didn't expect that he and the big and round leader of the Cao Gang were actually brothers.

After some pleasantries, Zhao Quanming said: "I have prepared a small amount of wine in Yipinxuan to wash away the dust for Mr. Xu. I hope you will be rewarded."

Xu Xiandao: "Thank you very much, Leader Zhao. I'll come and bother you when I arrange a place for my family to live."

Zhao Quanming waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xu. My brother has already made arrangements for the residence. We are waiting for Mr. Xu to move in." As he spoke, several soft sedan chairs landed on the shore.

Xu Xian was surprised by the power of the Cao Gang. He had only been away from Jiaxing for a day. Even with something as magical as flying pigeons delivering messages, it was not easy to prepare everything. He secretly sighed that the Cao Gang was no longer a local snake in Suzhou, but a

There's a dragon on the ground.

But the place they arranged was naturally better than the one they found themselves, and it also saved them a lot of trouble. After thanking Zhao Quanming, he returned to the cabin and told Bai Suzhen. Bai Suzhen had a strange expression on her face, secretly sighing that Pan Yu had a lot of energy.

, I feel a little disappointed for no reason. These things cannot be done even with magic!

Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Then we will be free."

When the Qing and Bai girls boarded the ship, Zhao Quanming couldn't help but take a look at them, secretly sighing that the so-called romantic talents were indeed well-deserved.

He changed to a small sedan and walked smoothly towards the destination. Xu Xian opened the curtain of the sedan and saw that the porters on board had already picked up the salute. He followed the sedan, the poles were swaying, and his speed was not slow at all.
