The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 446
Floating life only respects the former elders, and the road of Chang'an is covered with snow.

——Excerpt from Shu Quan (Song) from "Poppy Poppy Ji Gongdu"
……

After subduing the "water demon", the heroes clapped their hands and applauded. Only then did everyone know that the real name of the "water demon" was Jiang Sha'er.

Various gangs involved in the siege and suppression of the "water demon" came one after another to thank Chuan for his help.

Bai Fu and Huang Zhen thanked them one by one.

Elder Cen, the leader of Chang'an Branch of the Beggar Clan, said with a smile: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead. Young Hero Bai is young, and his martial arts are so high that he is as old as ever. Master Hong, the despicable Clan, asked me to bring a message to Young Master Bai. If necessary, the disciples of the Beggar Clan are always willing to listen to you." Young Hero Bai dispatched!"

Bai Fu saluted and said: "Don't dare not dare, I also ask Elder Cen to tell Gangzhu Hong. If there is a chance, I hope to pay a visit to Gangzhu Hong face to face."

Elder Cen said with a smile: "The guild leader Shenlong sees the beginning but does not see the end, and we don't know where he is wandering. But we must find a way to convey Bai Shaoxia's words."

Jia Chang, the leader of the Beihai Gang, said with a smile: "Brother Bai is a good man, today I am an eye-opener. I will leave it to my brother to appease the families killed by the 'water demon'."

Bai Fu clasped his fists and said with a smile: "This is not easy, thank you brother!"

Jia Chang waved his hand and said with a smile, "As long as it's something that can be settled with money, it's not difficult. But the 'Water Demon' may require a lot of effort from Young Master Bai. This person is deeply possessed, even if he wants to repent, it may be difficult.

I suggested that Shaoxia Bai send him to the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, where Abbot Kong used Buddhist enlightenment to dispel hostility, dispel inner demons, and reform his mind. "

Bai Fu nodded his head and said yes.

Before getting into the carriage, Jia Chang turned his head and said with a smile: "Brother Bai, come to my place to play a few games when you have time. With your skills, you will definitely become a generation of gamblers."

Bai Fu shook his head helplessly, Jia Chang laughed, and said: "Young people in Chang'an are not good at gambling, you are one of them, brother Bai!" After saying that, he waved goodbye and walked away.

Yunshangfang is the main force for encircling and suppressing the water demon this time. Under the leadership of two pipa masters, Mu Yunyi and Cao Huashang, dozens of luthiers played ambush from all sides and sensed the position of the 'water demon' underwater. , and then Bai Fu made a move, relying on Kan Ding's true energy, to severely damage the 'Water Demon'.

Mu Yunyi thought carefully, seeing a female family member next to Bai Fu, she was graceful, tall and straight, noble and refined, she was a smart woman, she was not someone to be taken lightly at first glance.In particular, Hall Master Huang of the Sichuan Gang respects him very much.

Mu Yunyi thought about it, and said to himself: "Could it be this person?"

Mu Yunyi walked up to Princess Qingluan, and said with a smile, "This younger sister looks strange, but she came from Emei?"

Princess Qingluan was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing this, Mu Yunyi believed in his own judgment even more.She took a string of necklaces from her neck, stepped forward, and put them on Princess Qingluan's neck.

Huang Zhen was shocked, and said, "Mother Mu, no, this gift is too expensive."

Mu Yunyi smiled and said, "This sister and I hit it off right away, and we love each other so much. I only have these little things at hand, so please don't make fun of me."

After hearing Huang Zhen's words, Princess Qingluan knew the origin of this necklace, so she hurriedly took it off.Mu Yunyi's gift has been sent, how can he take it back.The two pushed and shoved, humbly.

When there was a stalemate, Bai Fu finally spoke.

Bai Fu smiled at Princess Qingluan: "Mu Niang asked you to accept it, so you can accept it, don't let her down."

After listening to Princess Qingluan, she accepted it and thanked Mu Yunyi.

Mu Yunyi approached Qingluan, his eyes rolled, and he whispered: "The marriage is a gift from God, don't miss it." After saying goodbye, he said goodbye to Bai Fu and Huang Zhen, and led a group of disciples, singing away.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Bai Fu and Huang Zhen said goodbye to the heroes one by one, and led the disciples of the Chuan Gang back to Chang'an.

Seeing everyone leaving, Princess Qingluan came to Bai Fu, pursed her lips and asked curiously, "Did you recognize me?"

Bai Fu nodded and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

The flowers bloom in a moment, and the snow is chaotic in an instant.

……

On the way back, Princess Qingluan told Bai Fu about Aunt Gongsun's assassination of His Majesty.

After hearing this, Bai Fu frowned, and said: "This matter is indeed strange. Aunt Gongsun has a good relationship with Li Tang's royal family, especially she has known His Majesty for many years, so she has no motive for assassinating.

How about this, you haven't slept all night, you go back to the palace to rest first, I will notify you as soon as I have news. "

Princess Qingluan shook her head and said: "I won't go back, once I return to the palace, it will be very difficult to leave the palace again."

Bai Fu said: "Then get a good night's sleep in the Bashu Guild Hall, and I'll take you to meet someone in the afternoon."

Princess Qingluan was overjoyed, and the worries of the past few days were swept away.Although Bai Fu didn't come up with a solution, Princess Qingluan believed it, firmly believed that Bai Fu could save Master and all the senior sisters.

……

Huang Zhen arranged Princess Qingluan in a courtyard with a single door and a single family. The environment is quiet and the house is surrounded by green bamboos. Even though it is the middle of winter, the courtyard is still full of greenery.

Although the courtyard is not big, it is extremely elegant, and the mountains and rocks are piled up like nature.

The first thing that catches the eye is a large expanse of white fine sand.The white sand is either a line, an arc, or a circle, plowed out into a variety of textures, just like fleeting waves and ripples.

A few rocks are randomly piled up in the white sand, and there is a small stone bridge between the rocks, and the white sand passes under the bridge like a rushing river.

Behind the rock, several vertical striped stones are piled up one after the other, as if the hills and ravines are strewn in layers.White sand runs through it, like a white spring waterfall in the valley, winding down along the mountain.

The moments of stillness, the condensed square inches, and the blank spaces in the courtyard are full of Zen ideas.Princess Qingluan's heart trembled, and she immediately felt it.

Huang Zhen saw that Princess Qingluan was obsessed with the scenery of the courtyard, and said with a smile: "These courtyards were all designed by Bai Fu himself after he came back from Luoyang.

I also laughed at him, other people's yards are full of flowers, our bare yard may scare the guests away.

He said that those who are predestined will understand at the first sight. "

When Princess Qingluan heard this, she gritted her white teeth lightly, and couldn't help showing a smile.

Pushing open the door, the room is bright and clean, with minimalist layout.The bed and bedding, no matter homemade cloth or Sichuan brocade, are all a touch of light color.

The interior decoration is completely different from the elegance and luxury of the palace.However, Princess Qingluan not only did not feel the simplicity, but instead felt the minimalist beauty of an empty valley orchid.

The maid in the guild hall lit the incense, and the scent of sesame grass was faintly distributed, which was elegant and quiet, and complemented the atmosphere in the house.

Princess Qingluan was overjoyed and her mind was peaceful.

Taking advantage of the maid's time to burn incense, Princess Qingluan took out the necklace presented by Mu Yunyi to play with.Bead strings vary in size, presenting flat, square, triangular, arc-circle and other shapes.There are brown, brown, light green, emerald green and other colors, with mysterious patterns and dense breath.

The beads are all crystal clear, neither stone nor jade.Different from jadeite and mutton fat which are warm and moist like jade, this bead string is clear and cold.

Princess Qingluan asked Huang Zhen for advice, Huang Zhen showed an envious expression, and said: "This necklace is not comparable to ordinary jewelry such as jadeite or jade, but the Tubo Xiangxiong Dzi Bead, which was enshrined and blessed by great achievers and eminent monks. It is the oldest and purest dzi, and it is a gem of protection and protection.

Legend has it that the Xiangxiong Dzi Bead is the product of the fusion of meteorites and chalcedony agate veins. It has powerful heaven and earth mysterious power and the magic power blessed by great practitioners. It can restrain the fire of the heart and expel the demons of the heart. treasures.

Those who are lucky enough to wear it are like vajra armor, which can eliminate all obstacles and get blessings from all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, with lasting blessings and wisdom..."

Princess Qingluan was dumbfounded. Although she was a princess, she never had such treasures around her.She said to Huang Zhen: "If I knew it was such a rare treasure, I wouldn't want it anyway."

Huang Zhen smiled and said, "Brother Fu asked you to accept him, there is his own reason."

Seeing that Princess Qingluan was tired, Huang Zhen hurriedly left.Leaving two maids to serve Her Royal Highness.

After running around all night, Princess Qingluan was really sleepy, as soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, it was Shen time.The sun shines through the window sills and fills the room.Princess Qingluan is in a good mood.

Princess Qingluan stepped out of the courtyard and came to the lobby of the guild hall.Bai Fu is sipping tea in the tea room, boiling water and brewing it, enjoying Zen tea.

Bai Fu stared at the teacup, the tender green tea tip rolled and fell slowly in the water, like a blue bird passing through the forest.

Bai Fu is quiet and indifferent, forgetting things and me, as if in another time and space.

Hearing the ring wearing sound of Princess Qingluan, Bai Fu raised his head and smiled brightly, as if he had been acquainted for many years.

Bai Fu said to Princess Qingluan: "Take you to meet someone, he will definitely help you."

……

The two rode their horses, entered Yanshoufang, and drove into a quiet street.This street runs from east to west, and the east entrance is the four squares of Taiping, Guanglu, Xingtong and Wuben where the relatives of the emperor lived.The west exit leads to the bustling West Market.To the north is Buzhengfang, which is one step away from the imperial city.

This small street is lined with green bamboos, paved with cobblestones, and a clear and beautiful stream winds and turns around the mansion.The whole street, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, reveals elegance.

Princess Qingluan was quite pleasantly surprised, and said: "I didn't expect there to be such a place in Chang'an City. There must be an expert living here in seclusion."

Bai Fu smiled but did not answer.

The two soon came to a mansion.The gate of the mansion is not big, inconspicuous in the small street.Bai Fu got off his horse and knocked lightly on the door.

Not long after, a book boy with a bun horn opened the door of the mansion, saw Bai Fu, bowed to the ground, and said pleasantly: "This morning, the magpies were screaming non-stop. The gentleman said that there must be a distinguished visitor today.

It seems that you are the one Mr. is waiting for.Please come with me. "

After all, the book boy leads the way.

After passing through two courtyards, the three of them came to a plum garden.Plum blossoms are in full bloom, vying for beauty, especially a few red wintersweets, which are particularly eye-catching.

There is a small pavilion in the center of the plum garden, and people in the pavilion cook snow and tea, very happy.

Qing Luan looked over, and saw that this man was approaching sixtieth age, although his temples were gray, but his complexion was ruddy, he was very rich, and his fur mink hat, he looked like a rich man.

Seeing Bai Fu, the rich family member laughed loudly and said, "Brother Bai, I haven't seen you for many years. Although you have lost weight, you are even more handsome!"

Bai Fu clasped his fists in a salute, and said with a smile, "Master Fang, you still have the same demeanor!"

The member of the rich family asked curiously: "My place is so secret that I can't even find people from the six doors. How did you know?"

Bai Fu laughed and said, "If 'Catching God' deliberately wants me to know, it's hard for me not to know!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

This member of a wealthy family is none other than Fang Shuliu, the "God Catcher"!

　The lotus falls all over the sky, and the sun rises.Shuangyan flew back and posted Yunhan, looking alone towards the east bank of the small building, leaning against Lan.

　　Floating life is only for the predecessors, and the snow is full of Chang'an Road.The deceased raised the platform in the morning and evening, and gave me the spring scenery and a branch of plum.
