Jinpingmei

Chapter 66

The word said: There are thousands of worries in the chest, hanging on the setting sun tree.The green leaves are cloudy and content with spring, and the grass is full of warblers.

I don't see Lingbobu, and my imagination is like a reed.There are many mountains outside the door, covering the way of worry.

It is said that while Ximen Qing was drinking with Uncle Wu, Earl Ying and others, he asked Han Daoguo, "When will the boat that won the bid get up? Let's pack it up."

Han Daoguo said: "Someone came to the meeting yesterday, and the boat will only sail on the 24th."

Ximen Qing said: "After [-] recitations, it's time to pack."

The count asked, "Get up now, and the two go?"

Ximen Qing said: "All three of you will go. Next year, Brother Cui will be sent to escort a shipment of goods from Hangzhou. He and Laibao will go to Songjiang to go to five places to buy some cloth goods for sale. We still have some satin goods at home. .”

The earl said: "Brother's idea is very good. As the saying goes: if you want everything, you can buy and sell."

After finishing speaking, it was already time to watch the watch. Uncle Wu got up and said, "Brother-in-law has worked hard for the past few days, and I've had enough wine every day. Tell me, you can rest."

Ximen Qing refused, but still kept it, and ordered Xiao You'er to serve wine and sing songs, and each of them ate for three minutes before being released from the door.Ximen Qing rewarded the four of Xiaoyou with six qian, but he dared not accept it again and again, saying: "Master Song issued a ticket to ask the younger ones to come, how dare the official body accept the heavy reward from the old man?"

Ximen Qing said: "Although the official is poor, this is my reward, what are you afraid of!"

The four kowtowed and led them away.Ximen Qing went back to rest.

The next day I got up early and went to the yamen. Taoist Wu had already sent an apprentice and two shopkeepers to lay the mandala on the hall, and the laying was neat and tidy.Ximen Qing came to see it at home, and sent his disciples to prepare fast food and eat it back.Immediately, Wen Xiucai was ordered to write a post, inviting Qiao Dahu, Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu, Uncle Hua, Uncle Shen, Uncle Meng, Earl Ying, Xie Xida, Chang Zhijie, Wu Shunchen and many relatives and guests, tomorrow Chanting.The kitchen service at home is off work, and it is not a problem to administer fasting offerings.

At five o'clock the next day, all the Taoists came, entered the altar of scriptures, burned incense with candles, played symphony music, satirized all scriptures, laid out the gates and hung long flags, hung the bulletins, a couplet of yellow paper doors on both sides, and a large book : The east pole hangs down the compassionate immortal consciousness in the morning to surpass the Zifu; the Nandan pardons sins and purifies the soul and goes to Zhuling after being refined.

On the sutra altar in the hall, there are [-] characters of vegetarian inscriptions hanging, and the big book: "Qingxuan saves suffering, issues amulets to report, May [-] scriptures, water and fire refinement recommends Yang Zhai altar."

On the same day, Huang Zhenren wore bright red, sat in a dental sedan chair, tied a gold belt, surrounded by left and right, Yi Congxuan drank, and Rigao Fang arrived.Wu Daoguan led the crowd to the altar, and after the salute, Ximen Qing put on the plain clothes [纟至] towel, and finished the meeting and handed tea.Next to the cave case, there is a sutra banquet table, a red table surrounded by gold, a decorated chair and mattress, and two children standing on the left and right.When issuing the documents, Ximenqing prepared a piece of gold satin; when he ascended the altar, he changed into a nine-sun thunder scarf, a scarlet golden cloud and a white hundred crane cloak.First of all, he confessed his intention to declare Bi Zhai, and the Zhai official Mu put incense on his hands.Then Master Huang burns incense and cleans the altar, flies amulets to summon generals, Guan Fayi responds to the order of the document and amulets, plays for three days, and informs the ten places of the alliance.After the third gift, move the music, turn wealth into incense.Ximen Qing and Chen Jingji followed with stoves in their hands, lined up the army and drank the road, four golden umbrellas at the front and back, and three pairs of tassels.When he came back from the incense stick, An asked the prison to finish his fast, played music again, went to Li Ping'er's spirit to summon the soul, went to visit Yubi, held a few feasts next to him, and learned the scriptures and enlightened the Tao.At noon, Gao Gong wears the crown, walks on the road, pays homage to Zhu Biao, and dispatches the general to fly down to Luofeng.It turns out that Huang Zhenren is about [-] years old, has a very good appearance, puts on makeup, and worships his watch at noon, just like a living fairy.But see: the star crown gathers jade leaves, and the crane cloak wisps golden clouds.The spirit is as clear as the bright moon of the Yangtze River, and the appearance is as ancient as Taihua Qiaosong.Stepping on Zhulu into Danxiao, stepping on Xulanghan's floating auspicious energy.Long beard and broad cheeks, practiced to the sky without leaks; white teeth and bright eyes, wearing a talisman to palm the order of five thunders.In the third watch, the sound of the moon and luan is far away, and the crane's back is high when it rides the cloud for thousands of miles.That is, Duxian Taishi came to the mortal world, and Daoist Guanghui came down.

After paying homage to the Biaowen, Daoist Wu presented the God Tiger Jade Sapphire on the altar.At the end of the afternoon incense, there is a fast in the roll shed.In front of Zhenren Huang, the big table will definitely win; Wu Daoguan and others, with a slight difference;Master Huang and Daoist Wu both lined their heads with satin rulers, four pairs of draped flowers, and four bolts of silk, each of which was clothed by the scattered crowd.All the tabletops are carried to the temple, and each of the scattered people has their apprentices put them in the box, so there is no need to elaborate.

After lunch, they all went to the garden to play casual food.At the same time, he took away the fire and re-arranged the fast food, inviting Uncle Wu and other relatives, friends and friends to eat.While eating, he suddenly reported: "Tokyo Lord Zhai sent someone to write a letter."

Ximen Qing went out of the hall and invited someone to come in.I saw that it was the official of the front of the mansion, wearing narrow trousers in green clothes, a swastika headscarf, dry yellow boots, full bow and arrows, and saluted forward.Ximen Qing replied and returned the gift.The man took out a book to his side and handed it over, and it was another letter of ten taels of silver.Asked the person's surname, the man said: "The villain's surname is Wang Mingyu. He was sent by Master Zhai to send this book. I don't know if there is a funeral here. Father An will only find out when he reads the book."

Ximen Qing asked, "When did your father's book arrive?"

The man said: "I didn't arrive in Beijing until October. Because the year of Huangmu was full, I was promoted to the doctor of the capital's water department. Now I am ordered to repair the river and return to Beijing after the work is completed."

Ximenqing asked again, and immediately ordered to come to the security room to take care of the fast, and ordered to come tomorrow to get the book back.The man asked: "Where does Father Han live? Here is the message from the house. Seeing you, I have to go to Dongping Mansion to write a letter."

Ximenqing immediately called Han Daoguo to meet the man, and after eating fast with him, he went home together.

Ximen Qing wanted to read the book, so taking advantage of his liking, he took the book to the rolling shed and taught Wen Xiucai to read it.Said: "You answer him according to this, and send ten square crepe sweat towels, ten square silk sweat towels, ten pairs of picking gold and picking teeth, and ten black gold wine cups as a gift in return. He will come to pick them up tomorrow. Book."

Wen Xiucai took the book and read it. The book said: Zhai Qian, a family member who lived in the capital, bowed his head, and he was promoted to the door of Siquan's relatives at the west gate of Dajintang after the book was delivered.The meaning of his teaching is that he has already learned about it before the master of the family.You, when An Fengshan wrote the book, I knew that my old relatives were sighing, but I wished I could hang it for melancholy, what to do, what to do!Fu Wang is sad with etiquette.Outwardly, there is a semblance of ceremonies, with little expression of sincerity, and hopeful management.He has long admired your honor and honor to practice moral government, and the people have the song of the five dudes, and the reputation of the three stays in the territory. This year's performance appraisal, there must be a promotion.Yesterday's luck was all good, and I worked twice. I have already told the master, and put the name of my in-laws.After finishing the inscription, there must be grace, and the in-laws must have the joy of being punished.Mr. Xia's year-end class book must be transferred to the command of the Jingtang.I would like to make this forecast, but I will not announce it.

Attached cloud: This book can be read for introspection, but not to be heard.Be careful, be careful!

You said: Master Yang died in prison on the 29th of the previous month.

In winter, Wen Xiucai finished watching the raccoon and waited for sleeves. Earl Ying had already taken it over, watched it once, and gave it to Wen Xiucai to take it away.Said: "The old man should do a good job in answering the letter. There are so many talents in the Zhaigong's mansion, don't teach him jokes."

Wen Xiucai said: "There are not enough sables, and the dog's tail continues. Students who are bandits, how can they get a big ax in the class! It's just a matter of blame."

Ximen Qing said: "Mr. Wen has an idea of ​​his own, what do you dog know!"

After a while, after lunch, Ximen Qing ordered Lai Xing'er to send the fast food to relatives, relatives and neighbors.He also sent Dai'an back to the hospital to visit the six families of Li Gui, Wu Yin'er, Zheng Aiyue, Han Chuan'er, Hong Si'er and Qi Xiang'er.Each family replied with a large piece of cloth and a tael of silver.

In the next afternoon, Li Ming, Wu Hui and Zheng Feng were called to wait on them.After a long time, the Taoists ascended the altar to make a beating, went up to worship and repent and watch the lamps, and untied the altar to send off the saints.It was getting late.When the ceremony is set up, there will be a new weather.Uncle Hua outside the door was left behind by Ximenqing, and Qiao Dahu, Uncle Shen, and Uncle Meng bid farewell and went home.Only Uncle Wu, Second Uncle, Earl Ying, Xie Xida, Wen Xiucai, Chang Zhijie and other staff were here to watch the water and fire exercise in the evening.Just set up a high seat in the shed of the hall, tie a colorful bridge, set up a water pond and a fire marsh, and put the dendrobium food.Li Ping'er's spiritual seat also has several feast curtains, which are neatly offered.There is a soul banner, a red banner, and a yellow banner next to it, and the letter "recommended to control the demon, and to be refined in the Nangong Palace" is first played by the music of the Taoists, and there are seats on both sides, holding festivals and swords, and four Taoist boys stand on both sides.Daoist Huang, wearing a golden crown to subdue demons on his head and a crimson silk cloud robe, ascended to a high seat, muttering words in his mouth.Xuan Ji said: Taiyi Cizun descended, and the Yehe secluded pass was opened for the first time.The boys both go forward to guide, and the dead souls are refined step by step.

After pronouncing the gatha, I smoked and burned incense again, and said: "Fu Yixuanhuang explained the teachings, and opened up to the dark way; he is going down the subject, so that he can be refined and promoted. The kindness is refreshing, and the luster is hungry. I wish you luck. True fragrance, I sincerely invite Taiyi, the most benevolent man in the East, to save the suffering gods, and the gods and saints who save the suffering in the ten directions, come to the Dharma meeting with this true fragrance. All people live in the mundane world, lingering on ordinary affairs every day, knowing that there is no death, but Desire for life. Few can be planted in good roots, but more often enter evil realms, unconsciousness, indulgence, greed and hatred. You will say that you will live forever, but you believe that impermanence is easy to come! Once the day is gone, everything is empty. Si suffers. Today, Daofu is the soul of Li Shi, who died in the house. Once he abandoned the dust, he fell into the night for a long time. If he was not recommended to the guilty, he would be unable to escape the bitter retribution. Respect the gods to uphold the benevolence of life and save Xingsheng The bitterness. Sprinkle nectar to nourish all kinds of people, and emit auspicious light to spread candles and dim alleys. Order the three officials to be lenient in examination and comparison, and order ten palaces and pavilions to promote research. Release prisoners and release imprisonment, forgive mistakes and resolve grievances. Each follows the talisman Let me go out of the secluded pass. Xianling ascends the swamp of the fire pond and washes away the shape of the yellow flower. Anyone who is reborn will return to the Taoist shore. I am hereby burning the Lingbao to refine the shape and true talisman. The spirit banner, summons the Changye Mansion, and opens to accept the living soul."

The Taoists first put the soul flags in the pool, burn the spiritual charms, and exchange them for the red banners; secondly, burn the Yuyi charms in the fire marsh, and exchange them for the yellow banners.High-level gong thoughts: "Heaven creates water, and earth creates fire. The combination of water and fire forms the true form."

After the training is completed, please ask the God Lord to wear the crown and walk on the golden bridge, visit Yubi, take refuge in the Three Jewels, and go to Yuqing. After the "Five Offerings" are held, Gao Gong said: "After accepting the Three Refugees, you should proclaim the Nine Precepts."

After finishing the Nine Precepts, the Taoists played music, proclaimed the talismans and completed the training of "Ten Kinds of Lonely Souls", Huang Zhenren stepped down from the high seat, and the Taoist music was sent outside the door, and the box was burned with money.

When I came back, the fasting was complete, and the Taoists all changed their crowns and clothes, and arranged the Taoist statues with scrolls.In Ximen Qing's early hall, candles were painted and candles were lit, and banquets and banquets were arranged.The three Xiaoyou played and sang, and all the relatives and friends were in front of the hall.Ximen Qingxian and Huang Zhenren took the cups, holding a piece of sky blue cloud crane gold satin, a piece of colored satin, and ten taels of silver on the left and right, kowtowed and bowed down: "Today, thanks to my teacher's scriptures, the dead room can be rescued by my teacher's scriptures. The feeling is not shallow, and I will show my heart with a little courtesy."

Huang Zhenren said: "Xiaodao is absurd in crown clothes and indiscriminate in Xuanjiao. What virtue is there to reach the heavens? It all depends on the sincerity of the adults, and the honorable lady has already passed away. It would be embarrassing to accept this gift. .”

Ximen Qing said: "This gift is very thin, and there are people who blaspheme real people, please accept it with a smile!"

Master Huang ordered Xiaotong to accept it.Ximenqing handed over the real wine, and took a cup with Wu Daoguan, which was a bolt of gold satin, five taels of silver, and ten taels of scriptures.Wu Daoguan only accepts the scriptures, and the rest are not willing to accept. He said: "Xiao Dao has always been loved, and he has chanted the scriptures for himself, and pursued his wife to the fairy world, to do his best. It is impossible to accept this scriptures, how dare you be the grand master?" Courtesy!"

Ximen Qingdao: "Master is in a bad position. The real person in charge of the altar, and one of the scriptures and dharma affairs are all the master's trouble. This gift should be repaid by the master, why not?"

Daoist Wu had no choice but to take the lead and thank him again and again.After Ximen Qing finished delivering wine with the Taoists, Uncle Wu, Earl Ying and others came up to share wine with Ximen Qing.Uncle Wu held the cup, the earl held the pot, and Xie Xi held the dishes, all knelt down together.The Earl said: "Sister-in-law is doing this good deed today. Fortunately, I have invited a real person here. It is Master Wu's trouble, and my sister-in-law has benefited from it. Although this is due to the power of the real person's recommendation, it is really brother's devotion and sister-in-law's good fortune."

So I filled a cup and gave it to Ximen Qing.Ximen Qing said: "Everyone, Duo Meng, has been working hard for days, and I can't thank you enough."

After finishing speaking, I drank it all in one gulp.The count poured another cup and said, "Brother, have a double cup, not a single cup."

Xie Xi hurriedly handed over a piece of chopsticks to eat.After Ximen Qing paid his respects to everyone, he sat down.Xiaoyou played and sang, and the cook cut the road.That night, in front of the banquet, we played boxing games, tasted bamboo and shredded silk, and ate until the second watch, when Ximen Qing was half drunk, and everyone made their speeches and got up to leave.Ximen Qing came in to reward little You'er with three coins, and then went to the back.It's exactly: if there is wine in life, one must be drunk. How has a drop ever reached Jiuquan.
