Chapter 12

Cen's family was in a good mood after getting rid of the evil things. Ruan Qiao pointed to backfill the tomb, and said: "The land here is lush, but it's not easy to make a pond, so as not to stagnate the yin. It's better to transplant pines and cypresses."

How could Cen Yan refuse to listen, so he wrote down the matter tightly, and sent Cen Hao to bring his wife, children and brothers back, and at the same time ordered the servants to clean the house. Respectfully ask the three to move away.Xie Yantang and Ye Guhong had already bigu, so they declined.Ruan Qiao is not afraid of meat and fish, and eats everything.Cen Yan feared that the gods would be spared, and ordered them to serve cold water and fruits, such as sweet bean soup, coconut wine, marinated plum water, lychee paste water, Chengsha dumplings, sugar velvet, ebony sugar, mint honey, nectar cake, etc.

Accompanied by Cen Yi, he endured for a long time and asked Ruan Qiao: "That girl is really regrettable, if there is a way to protect both, can she be saved?"

Ruan Qiao smiled, only saying that his skills are low.Cen Yi wanted to ask Ye Guhong again, but was stopped by his father, and said: "The Immortal is going to Yuzhi personally, if there is a commission, how dare you not do it wholeheartedly?"

Ye Guhong pondered for a while: "I do have something to ask." Then he told about the matter that he wanted to delay Cen Yan to control, Cen Yan was really embarrassed, and said: "I don't know, the imperial court has repeatedly made troubles in recent years, which annoyed me. Mountain people, Yueshan can't enter, not only the lower ones, Li, Dong, Zhao, and Yuan's four families also have no bamboo for a year."

Xie Yantang said first: "It's not difficult, we will naturally protect you when you return safely."

Cen Yanzhi was overjoyed, thanked him again and again, and agreed to go to the mountain before the frost to collect bamboo materials.At this time, there were still a few months before Frost's Descent, Ye Guhong liked the scenery of Hengzhou, so he simply chose a place in the mountain to live temporarily, Ruan Qiao also placed an order in a temple in the mountain, and told the hall master to come up to the mountain on three days in January.

Ye Guhong likes his quickness, and when he encounters making tea, he also shares a cup with him.One day, Ruan Qiao packed up all his belongings and rushed over, bitterly said: "The young man of the Cen family inquired about my whereabouts. There are places to go."

Ye Guhong couldn't help laughing, and pointed to a nearby cave: "It's clean there, you go and settle down." Seeing that he was alone, he summoned a pair of servants, who were enlightened by tree monster flower essence, to help him pack his things , "You should also have children to accompany you, so as to avoid these trivial matters."

Ruan Qiao said: "There used to be one who died not long ago because of a fight with a monster."

Ye Guhong thought for a while: "Could it be that your magic weapon was obtained from that demon?"

Ruan Qiao took out the walnut, held it in his hand and showed it to Ye Guhong: "This thing is powerful, and it can hit people without guidance. I was still surprised why he had such a magic weapon. After looking carefully, I realized that it was actually a person who was caught. Tortured to death in the next life, take advantage of the resentment to wipe away the soul, make it wander and bewilder, and only know to run wildly. This kind of scheming is really powerful." Now there is no evil spirit in the walnut, and it was sucked out a few days ago The girl who has lost her head has already recited sutras.

Ye Guhong said: "People are sentient beings, and their souls are disturbed if they are close to them. Since you want to become righteous, you should stay far away when you play with souls."

Ruan Qiao responded solemnly, Ye Guhong smiled: "There is something related to you." Then he slowly told the story of the dumb fox Gu Xuan, Ruan Qiao was stunned when he heard it, and smiled wryly: "At that time I thought It was the demon accomplices who were lying in ambush, waiting for an opportunity to get revenge, so they hit hard, but I didn't expect..." He was tongue-tied, really not knowing what to say.

Ye Guhong smiled and said: "Since you feel that you are wrong, then go and straighten it out, why bother here."

Ruan Qiao nodded: "It should be so." Then he smiled wryly: "It's just a good time to avoid that Cen Xiaolang."

Ye Guhong said: "He just had a sudden whim, and the cold two days passed. To cultivate one's kindness and benevolence, one's upper body and heavenly heart must be passed on to others, but the world is so stubborn. You are the right way to avoid it."

Ruan Qiao said: "Now I know it's terrible to be obsessed with obsession. How can there be two perfect laws in the world? The shape must be divided, and the sound must belong. Therefore, if it is warm, it can't be cold. If it's a palace, it can't be discussed. .If you really have the best of both worlds, it must be an elephant with a loud voice, which can move the customs of the world, but it has not been heard or revealed so far. How can it be said? It is unwise to try to see the ocean with one tube."

The two talked for a while, Ruan Qiao said goodbye and left, Xie Yantang glanced at his junior brother, "You are really enthusiastic."

Ye Guhong smiled: "I think he is also a 'perfect person', so I can't help but mention a few words."

Xie Yantang said: "In the past few days, it seems that he has entered the path of cultivation, and he seems to be a bit of a shadow of Shangyangmen, but I don't know who saved him."

Ruan Qiao left Hengzhou the next day because he was concerned about the matter of Gu Xuan, and went to Song City.Ye Guhong and Xie Yantang still stayed in the mountain.In the summer, Hengzhou became more and more sweltering. People went to the mountains one after another to escape the heat. Occasionally, some people came along the stream. They inevitably saw Xie and Ye. Gradually, there were rumors of fairy hermits by the spring. The two couldn't bear the disturbance, so they had to go deep into the mountain again. Some, set a spell, so that no one can see it.

Two months later, Ruan Qiaofang came back from Song City, but this time he brought an eight or nine-year-old boy with him. He was small and thin, with yellow teeth and dark skin. He stared at people, with an expression on his face that he would move away at any time.Ruan Qiao said: "This is my new boy, whose surname is Xu, and his name is Brother Ant..." Before he finished speaking, the kid cut off the conversation, frowned and turned his head to look aside, and said in a rough voice: "I don't know Call it Brother Ant!"

Ruan Qiao didn't get angry when he talked back like this, "This name is very rough, it really doesn't suit you to be under my sect in the future." After thinking for a while, he said: "From now on, your name will be Xuanwei. If someone asks, you will Say the name."

Xu Xuanwei also didn't understand that the teacher had to kneel down to accept the name given by the teacher, he still stood there dumbfounded, smacked his new name twice, and suddenly responded very loudly, with a few traces of joy on his swarthy face.

Ruan Qiao couldn't see him being so stupid, so he called the flower essence to lead him down to freshen up.Ye Guhong then asked: "Have you met Mr. Gu Lang?"

Ruan Qiao smiled: "I've seen it. His talent test is not easier than others. He is very good at reading scriptures, scriptures, Taoism and collections. I really can't compare with him."

He came from Confucianism to Taoism, and he has not forgotten his studies. He still has a bit of a bookish temperament, and it is rare to meet someone with a similar temperament.First discussing career, and then discussing ancient prose and Fu, I hardly know my hunger and thirst day and night.After lingering for several months, he finally returned reluctantly, but met Xu Xuanwei on the road, because his life experience touched his feelings, so he simply accepted him as a disciple and brought him here.

Ruan Qiao said: "His ancestral home was in Weizhou, and his mother moved to Huxiang with his father due to a military disaster. Not long after arriving in Yizhou, his father died of illness. Before he died, he paid the neighbor's family with silver money and begged for adults. His mother was six or seven years old. After being adopted by the neighbor's family for a year or two, the son of the neighbor's family was thirteen or fourteen. She was lured into her acquaintance and conceived because of this. Because she was too immature, she dared not make a decision. After a long delay, she gave birth to Xuanwei. The mistress of the neighbor's family was afraid Rumors spread that his mother was accused of being an evildoer, so she gave birth to a child. The infant mother and child were driven to the streets. A nun pitied her for being ignorant and suffered disaster, so she was brought up in a nunnery. Two or three years later, her mother grew up and gradually knew the world. Reasonable, one day he suddenly hanged himself to death."

At this point, Ruan Qiao sighed again: "Xuanwei has no father, no mother to rely on, no surname and no surname to follow. The old nun took pity on him and asked him to take his surname from before he became a monk. His surname was Xu. Famous Brother Ant. Two years later, the old nun died of illness. He was kicked out of the nunnery and became a beggar. He was ridiculed and bullied because of the birth of a boxer mother. I see that although he is unreasonable, he also knows the good and bad of human relationships. Then put it under the door."

Ye Guhong said: "Since he moved your heart, it is fate, you teach it well, even if the road will be different in the future, you will still have the love you have today."

Ruan Qiao nodded, and laughed at himself: "It's a joke of the immortals. I Ji Xuanwei, but there is a reason. My real name is Jing, and I am a Confucian student in Liang Guo. After my parents passed away, I lived with my sister. Because my family was poor and I had no teachers to teach, I entered the school. Baihe watched the book. My sister came to visit me occasionally, but she attracted some people to spy on her. She entered over the wall overnight, and my sister hanged herself unbearably humiliated. I told the official that the beast sent money, and it was regarded as adultery, and a slight punishment would be enough. Nothing. I sent it again, but I was imprisoned on a false accusation and nearly died in prison. Fortunately, an immortal rescued me and taught me the art of breathing lightly. But at that time, I was full of resentment and only wished for revenge. The immortal saw that I was insane Perseverance, just say that the fate with my master and apprentice has not yet come, and then go away. I have a little success in cultivation, so I sneaked into the house of someone who humiliated my sister, robbed and killed him at night, cut his neck and intestines, and killed his parents, gouged out his heart To sacrifice to my sister."

Ruan Qiao said that when he got his revenge that day, he fled away and searched for the trace of the immortal while he was practicing.Meeting Xuanwei this time, knowing her background, can't help but be moved. "There is a quirk in the world. Women are humbled and cannot even put their clothes on top of men. It is said to be inferior. If a woman is in charge, she will say that the hen is the morning; if the family has no children, the incense will be cut off. Nonsense talk is endless. Men and women are human beings first, and human beings are chaos first. After being conceived in the mother's womb, they are formed, and then they take bait, water and food, and then they become adults. They teach the principles and then divide men and women. Women are weak, so they cook When weaving and weaving, the man is strong, so he will be responsible for the farming. This family business, if it is suitable, it is the same if it is a country. However, there is a kind of fool in the world. Respect, regard women as inferior. Treat women like objects, play with them at will, and add a legal net to them, and get blamed at every turn. Like a sister, like Xuanwei's mother, because of her beauty, because of her immaturity, she is innocently victimized, and the perpetrator is Not to be punished. There is also a saying in the book: hold dual purposes. Men and women are born as human beings, but because one is too much and the other is not enough, the stars and the moon are reincarnated, how can there be a definite number in the world? Regardless of reason, it is like a person who is good at taking the hair, A good listener who hears thunder is the opposite of the way and the shape, and if it goes on for a long time, there will be disasters of overthrow."

Ye Guhong nodded, and said: "Heaven and earth figures, gods and spirits, there is no way to live without Tao, and nothing can be achieved without virtue. It is really ignorant to insist on distinguishing superiors from inferiors."

Ruan Qiao sighed, "I don't know when this custom will change."

After Ruan Qiao left, Ye Guhong was in a daze, Xie Yantang came out at this time, seeing him in a daze, he took a fan to fan him.Ye Guhong smiled and said, "It's not hot."

Xie Yantang still just shook the fan: "You think of Junior Sister Du?"

Ye Guhong nodded: "When we first met, she said that she was determined to practice, and she said that she wanted to know 'the Dao transforms Yin and Yang, but why the world is yang respectful and yin inferior'. I heard it again today, and I was quite moved." He turned his head and looked at Xie Yantang : "I don't feel it in the mountains. Only when you enter the world can you know the difference between men and women in the world, such as the end of the world." For example, Xie Yantang changed from male to female, and the sect was surprised, but because of the drastic change in description.The deeper you practice the Tao, the farther you will be from your voice, just like walking through a green bush without touching a single leaf.

Xie Yantang said: "Why bother with these little things. Ordinary people are confused, because they are trapped in obstacles, it is also a matter of days. If everyone can be saved, how can there be an endless cycle of worms and ants, this is the usual way."

Ye Guhong said: "I don't know, I just feel how lucky I am to be born as a human being, and I have the opportunity to develop my Taoism. If I am an insect and ant, I don't know the nine orifices, so I have to be ignorant for a lifetime. I don't know how many lives I have to reincarnate before I can be a human again. day."

Xie Yantang said: "Why bother to worry, we are human beings and insects. We are all newborns. One life is one life. It cannot be pursued or admonished. I wait for the world to look at the world, because it is like seeing a forest with everything in it. And the world follows the waves. Go, so it's like seeing a long river, flowing endlessly."

Ye Guhong said angrily: "Brother wants to block me with every word."

Xie Yantang said: "Eldest brother is the father, and the master is not here, so naturally I will teach him well." He said it seriously, especially the "teach well" really has a deep meaning.Ye Guhong couldn't help looking sideways, the two looked at each other for a long time, he couldn't hold back his smile, his senior brother pinched his face and said, "What a weird look." He pinched his cheek again before letting go.
