Chapter 36 Yuelu Mountain Meets a Real Man
The first and fifteenth day of each month is the day when devout men and women worship the Buddha and offer incense and pray. The old lady of the Fu family believes in Buddhism. Huiguangming Temple is the first Taoist temple in Hunan, so naturally it will not be left behind.

In order to show her piety, the old lady fasted and bathed three days in advance. On that day, the two ladies followed the old lady up the mountain to offer incense.

Entering Yuelu Mountain, the strong servants with sabers stopped, only the green oil car slowly drove along the mountain road, and five or six women and maidservants accompanied the car, with a pleasant face and no arrogance.

Huiguangming Temple has always been full of incense. Although Fan's family was invited to inform them when they went up the mountain, Buddhists value their status and pay attention to the equality of all living beings. Imported in one line.

After entering Deshan Temple, the old lady saw that the place is quiet and quiet. She heard that the Baihe Spring behind the mountain is known as the most fragrant place in Lushan Mountain. She knew that young ladies would dislike the dullness of Buddhist temples. So the young master asked the two ladies to drink tea in the tea room in the backyard. , the two ladies are naturally filial piety, resolutely refused.The old lady stopped insisting, and the group burned incense in front of the hall, and asked for signatures respectively.

What the old lady of this age and the lady want when they burn incense is nothing more than the marriage of their children and grandchildren.The Huiguangming Temple has been thriving over the years, of course because of the frequent appearance of eminent monks, it is a sacred place of Buddhism.But the monks never follow others, but they also act cheaply.Most of the signatures were tampered with. After a week of worship, all the signatures were top-to-top and middle-to-top, which made all the pilgrims smile. Ju is a smile without a word.

After doing this, it was not long before noon, and after eating vegetarian food in the temple, some monks led them to drink tea in the backyard.

The scenery of Huiguangming Temple is excellent, facing Qingfeng Gorge on the left, drinking Baihe Spring on the right, overlooking Hexi Danfeng and Changdao Xiangliu in the front, leaning on the tall relic tower and deep forest sea in the back.After several generations of repairs, the temple is grand in scale, majestic and magnificent.At this time, it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the fields of lotus leaves are fragrant, and the ancient pines of Arhats are simple and vicissitudes. The ladies of the Fu family are dazzled all the way. It was extremely cold, and a monk in the temple built a well like a crane with stones, and he was immediately happy.

The monk invited them to sit in the White Crane Pavilion.

Li Ci saw more than a dozen white cranes pacing by the Baihe Spring, with a generous attitude, not afraid of strangers, so she reached out to touch them, but the crane didn't budge, and took the initiative to let her scratch its head and neck, making happy soft chirping from time to time.

Not long after, the little novice brought tea, and the steaming hot fruit hovered around the mouth of the cup like a legend. Its shape resembled a white crane, and the tea was clear and sweet, which was unusual.Everyone was full of praise for the utensils they drank, and they thought that compared with the Junshan Silver Needles from Junshan in Dongting, the tea brewed from Baihe Spring is even better.

So he asked: "I tasted tea in Junshan a few days ago, and I got gold inlaid jade. The color, fragrance, taste, and shape are all excellent. I don't want to taste the master's tea today, only to know that the gold inlaid jade is not as good as Baihe spring water. Qi nourishes. I just don’t know what is the relationship between the Baihe Spring in Yuelu Mountain and the Baihe Spring in Junshan?”

The little novice said: "There are thousands of waters called Baihe Spring in the world, not to mention that Junshan and Hengshan are among the 36 caves and 72 blessed places. Why should female Tanyue be persistent?"

Li Ci saw that he was young, but his tone was mature, so he knew that he couldn't answer, and he was perfunctory, but he didn't care about it.

She knew that in places with beautiful mountains and clear waters, there must be monks and hermits living together in huts, with plum wives and crane children, unrestrained.In the eyes of residents at the foot of the mountain, they often misunderstand that the spring opened for immortals riding cranes.Many years later, the monks and hermits disappeared without a trace, only the white cranes hovering beside the water, so it was named Baihe Spring as a commemoration.

Just thinking about what the little novice said carefully, I think it makes sense.What Buddhism emphasizes is fate, if you want to investigate everything carefully and ask the root cause, you will violate the precept of anger and ignorance, so you smiled sweetly and said: "What the master said is very true, my daughter has been taught."

That little novice was really naive, seeing some nonsense and being praised unexpectedly, he felt shy, clasped his hands together, recited Amitabha silently, and said: "It is Tanyue who has the root of wisdom."

Li Ci smiled and said nothing, just sipping tea and enjoying the scenery.

Just when they were feeling relaxed and happy, suddenly there was a noise from the white cranes. The girls followed the prestige and saw an old man with white hair and a childlike face, with a boxwood hairpin in a bun, holding a white stag tail in his hand, wearing a crane cloak and feathers, and wearing white hemp shoes, with an elegant posture. Along the way, his sleeves fluttered, and he had a dusty temperament.

"This celestial master is—"

The old lady Fu was in awe when she saw his blunt and immortal demeanor, and asked the little novice at the side.

The little novice said respectfully: "He is a monk living in the monastery, he never interacts with others, he only has close friends with Baihe, and everyone on the mountain and down the mountain respect Baihe Taoist."

Hengshan is different from other places, Buddhism and Taoism can be mixed together, so the pilgrims are not surprised to see monks staying in Huiguangming Temple.

I saw the White Crane Taoist walking all the way, the White Crane flapped its wings to welcome him, with an extraordinary temperament, Mrs. Fu was always pious, and she led the two ladies to stand in front of the pavilion to worship.The Taoist was also strange, he had already passed the pavilion, but he stopped with a "hey", counted his fingers carefully, frowned from time to time, with a serious expression, finally turned back to the pavilion, and shouted the Taoist name to the two ladies : "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! I feel restless today. It turns out that the opportunity has arrived."

When Mrs. Fu heard the words, she subconsciously thought it was a charlatan, but seeing Taoist Baihe with white beard and hair, and an extraordinary temperament, she dared not neglect her, so she hurriedly asked the Taoist to explain in detail.

The Taoist looked at the two ladies repeatedly, showing embarrassment, finally sighed, and said: "It is a great sin to reveal the secret of heaven, but if I meet a lady today, it is destiny. In the future, you will be bound by demonic obstacles in your heart, your Dao heart will be shaken, and you will not be able to make further progress in your life. Forget it, forget it, since we have met, what is the future?"

All the daughters of the Fu family were confused during the conversation, and they could only vaguely hear that this Taoist is a bit of a Taoist, and he intends to explain the fortune and fortune to the Fu family's wife.

Mrs. Fu is a person who believes in fate, seeing him in a stately appearance, she already has eight percent faith in him, and at this moment, she wished she could enshrine Taoist Baihe as her guru.Seeing her enthusiasm, Li Ci, like Yu Jing, made a pious gesture and invited the Taoist to sit in the pavilion.

The Taoist didn't enter the pavilion, but said to Yu Jing: "My lady is looking at her, thinking about getting married within the year?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Jing nodded shyly.

Li Ci snorted coldly in her heart, the young lady went to the mountain to pray to Buddha just to seek a good husband, she was indeed a liar.But the old lady and Yu Jing were both sincere and fearful, so naturally they didn't dare to speak out to tear down the situation.

The Taoist smiled and said: "Miss, you have failed in many blind dates because you have the fate of a phoenix, and you cannot bear it unless you are a nobleman. Therefore, although it is smooth at the moment, it is difficult to achieve it in the end. If you are not talented, you can be regarded as a lady." If you listen to the world's arguments, insist on getting married within the year, and make compromises, then the phoenix life born that day will be reduced to Kefu's life."

"This--"

The first half could be regarded as the flattery of the fortune teller, but the last sentence made Yu Jing turn pale with fright.

In this era where the husband is the heaven, the comment of Kefu's fate is a death sentence for women.

"Tianshi save me!"

Her voice trembled a little, and Mrs. Fu even said, "Can the Celestial Master have a way to crack it?"

Sure enough, they started asking for money, Li Ci thought to himself.

Unexpectedly, the Taoist was calm and calm, and said: "I am not a mediocre person who steals people's money, and the lady's fate does not need Taoism to decipher. The lady was born with the fate of a phoenix concubine. After two years, there must be a purple shirt." The person with the jade belt came to the door to ask for a marriage. I have no talent in the small way, and today I broke the secret. I just want to use this to form a good relationship with the lady, and I have no other ideas."

Unexpectedly, this Taoist could speak so well. Yu Jing didn't like Fan Erlang's shabby green shirt at first, and she couldn't help secretly happy when she heard the words, and the eyes she looked at the Taoist priest were as gentle as water.

Li Ci was slanderous, this Taoist is really good at it, and he can be so honest and immortal when he asks for money.If the old lady is happy, she might donate a whole Taoist temple to others.

So he parted from Zaosha, and said to the Taoist: "The celestial master is profound, can you take a look at my fate?"

Who would have thought that Taoist Baihe only looked at her, his face was ashen, he let out a long sigh, and said, "Injustice, injustice!"

Yu Jing didn't understand, and asked, "Could it be that Si Niangzi's fate—"

She had always felt inferior because of her poor marriage status as a concubine, and she had just heard Taoist Baihe say that she was Fengming, and she finally became a little more confident. concern.

Li Ci also said: "It's okay for the celestial master to say, the little girl has suffered a lot since she was a child, so it doesn't matter anymore."

Taoist Baihe shook his head, and said: "It's not Xiaodao's deliberate ignorance, it's the lady's fate, I don't understand it. According to the lady's face, it is the most rare appearance of the dragon and phoenix. Ordinary people have to meet one of them. You, lady, such a situation—forgive me for being blunt, but it stands to reason that my lady has two noble lives, so she should have been unable to bear the sudden death and died! Someone must have used a method against the sky to continue your life, but unfortunately, my way is too good. Qian, I don’t understand, I don’t understand!”

Li Ci was shocked when he heard the words, and said: "Then according to what the celestial master said, when should I die?"

Taoist Baihe smiled wryly: "My lady would not live to be ten years old."

Speaking of this, the Fu family was completely convinced by the Taoist Baihe, and Yu Jing admired him even more: "The Taoist priest is indeed a master, he actually saw that Si Niangzi suffered a catastrophe when she was ten years old, but she doesn't know what will happen to Si Niangzi in the future."

"After she survived that catastrophe, her soul no longer belongs to this world. I have practiced Taoism for 150 years, and I can only vaguely see that the fourth lady must be extremely dangerous and expensive in the future. What will happen in the end is a secret, and I cannot spy on it."

"My wife, Master Lao Tian, ​​has taken care of me."

Mrs. Fu sighed.

And since Li Ci heard the phrase "the soul no longer belongs to this world", he knew that this Taoist really had some Taoism, and what he said was accurate, so he couldn't help being grateful: "If it is true in the future as the celestial master said, it will be extremely dangerous. Gui, I would like to build a heavenly palace for the celestial master in Yuelu Mountain after Jigui."

The Daoist laughed and said: "Fourth lady, I am serious. I met my lady today, and she leaked the secret. The soldiers will be released soon. I only hope that when the lady gets very expensive, she will remember the foreword and protect the Hengshan Dao."

After finishing speaking, he walked away, but within a few steps, he disappeared. He was really a fairy.

All the people present were so shocked that they were speechless.

Suddenly, the white crane that had just quietly accepted the caress of Fu's wife let out a long cry, fluttered its wings and flew straight into the sky.

Li Ci couldn't help being surprised, but when she heard the servant girl scream, she was dumbfounded and looked at the sky.

Yu Jing has always loved face very much, and just now she learned the truth of Taoism, knowing that she will become a concubine in the future, and she becomes more and more pretentious.The servant girl was so rude, she naturally wanted to criticize her.Unexpectedly, before the words came out, I saw all the people in the pavilion facing the main peak of Hengshan and knelt down on the ground. Only then did I find that the sea of ​​clouds on the 72nd peak of Hengshan Mountain turned into 72 white dragons and swam towards the Nantian Gate of the main peak, and hundreds of cranes soared Circling, chirping in unison, they immediately fell to their knees and prayed devoutly.

Among the tumbling sea of ​​clouds, there was a huge white crane, carrying a Taoist man in feathers on his back, soaring straight into the sky.

It was actually Taoist Baihe who just explained fortune to Mrs. Fu's family.

Then the clouds of the nine heavens rolled, the gate of heaven opened wide, and a rainbow light fell, turning into a gorgeous lotus flower, covering the 72 peaks of Hengshan Mountain.

Taoist Baihe dismissed the soldiers.

……

Countless monks, with tears in their eyes, knelt down and said: "We practiced, and seeing this scene, this life is not in vain."

Eight hundred miles away, the green lotus is in full bloom, the white clothes are elegant, and the flowers are independent: "It's pitiful and hateful, but it's a pity and respectable."

……

……

A few days later, at the place where the white cranes flew together, the stele of King Yu was unearthed. There were characters 77 on it, which were shaped like tadpoles and could not be recognized.

　We feel that soul penetration and rebirth are all fantasy elements, so we couldn’t help but add in the ascension of monks and soldiers (in fact, I’ve read too much about cultivation)
