Yu Shimingyan

Chapter 40
The sword and the long piano travel all over the world, and the great songs are naturally unrestrained.The husband Mo Dao has no confidant, and the bright moon monk meets a passenger boat.Yang Yi, courtesy name Qianzhi, was born in Yongjia, Zhejiang.Since he was a child, he has been suave, has great integrity, does not stick to details, and is erudite and powerful. He was awarded the magistrate of Anzhuang County, Guizhou.Anzhuang County is connected to Lingbiao, Nantong Bashu, wild and wild. People love to fight poison, don't know etiquette and writing, do ghosts and believe in gods, and the vulgar worships demons; it produces a lot of gold, silver, pearls, emeralds, and treasures.It turns out that the Song Dynasty system: Foreign officials resigned from the court, the emperor asked in person at Linxuan, and the ministers and workers each presented poems and chapters, so as to predict whether they could govern.In the third month of Dingmao in the second year of Jianyan, Yang Yicheng resigned from the court.Emperor Gaozong asked Yang Yi, "Why is your official?" Yang Yizuo said, "I am the magistrate of Anzhuang County, Guizhou." The emperor said, "Do you also ask about the scenery of Anzhuang?" .The poem says: "The wild smoke falls in the east wind, thousands of miles away. People speak different languages ​​and know each other less, and the sound of birds sounds the same. Sugar palms are connected to the green and the road is lost, and the southern sky of Xiangjun is perfect. In order to make up for it, I will also use rites and music to serve Yuangong." Gaozong listened to the poem, agreed to it for a long time, and was moved with compassion, saying: "You have a different prescription, and it is sincerely pity; I will go to Lili for a while, and I will take you back soon. "Yang Yi bid farewell with tears.

When I went out to the court, I met Guo Zhongwei, the town's support envoy.After the two bowed to each other, Zhongwei said: "I heard that Qunrong was appointed to Anzhuang, what should I do?" Yang Yi said: "It's quite smoky and plagued, and it's close to death! If you can't stay, you will be poor at night. When you go, you will die. I beg for advice." Zhongwei replied: "The only thing you need to know is to ask your benefactor, Zhou Zhenfu, to know how to prepare. The benefactor sees that he has been exiled from Lianzhou, and he will get up now." The two came to see Zhenfu Zhou Wang together.Yang Yi kowtowed and bowed again: "Yang is currently in Anzhuang County. Please give me instructions." Zhou Wang hastily replied and said: "In Anzhuang, where barbarians are haunted, every household has demon magic, and the poisonous poison charms people. If you can subdue him, you will have all the treasures; if you can’t deal with him, you have to be careful. Honor your wife, don’t take it with you, for fear that the local officials will be rude.” Yang Yijian said, tears exchanged, and said: “ Zensheng is good?" Zhou Wanglian Yang Yi was bitter, and said: "I saw that I was exiled from Lianzhou, and went on the same road with the public until the border of Guangdong, where I was farewell to you. I have been entangled all the way, so I don't need to worry about my next step." Yang Yi The two came out after paying their respects, waited for more than half a month, and got up together with Zhou Wang.Guo Zhongwei said goodbye to wine and left.

The two came to Zhenjiang and hired a big boat.Zhou Wang and Yang Yi used the large hatches in the middle; the rest of the hatches were all sailors and others looking for money, and there were three or forty people in them.There is a wandering monk in the room, who went to Wudang, Huguang, to burn incense, and he was also in the public cabin.The monk said he was from Mount Funiu, and he was rude and unwilling to be careful.There are twelve or thirteen people in the cabin, none of whom like him, but he wants someone to cook tea and rice with him.The person in the same cabin said: "The monks are merciful and careful, and they are not greedy. They want to take advantage of us?" The monk heard this, and replied, "You are a villain! I want you to serve me, and I don't dislike you." , so I ticked it." In the mouth, thousands of villains, ten thousand villains, scolded everyone.Everyone became angry, some scolded the monk, some beat him.The monk was unhurried, pointed at the scolding person casually and said, "Don't scold him!" The scolding person fell silent and kept his mouth shut.He pointed to the person who hit him and said, "Don't hit him!" The person who hit him couldn't move, and his hand was paralyzed.These few were dumbfounded, sitting in a bunch in the cabin, just watching with blank eyes.There is a generation of people who have never beaten and scolded monks. When they saw such a scene, they were startled and shouted: "It's not good, there are monsters here!" In the official cabin, Zhou and Yang Ergong.The two went to the hatch to have a look, and when they saw this, they were also surprised.Just as he was about to ask the monk, the monk saw that Zhou and Yang were officials, so he got up and interrogated them, and said, "I'm a monk from Mount Funiu, and I'm going to Wudang to rejoice. I happened to be on a treasure boat. Being bullied by everyone, let the two adults decide." Zhou Zhenfu said: "Beating and scolding you, although they are not, you are like this, it is not the principle of a monk's mercy." Seeing this, the monk replied: "Since the two adults are acting on behalf of you He begs for mercy, I don't care about it." Touching the dumb mouth with his hand, he said:

"Speak for yourself!" The dumb man started to speak.He pulled his hand at the paralyzed hand again and said, "You take the initiative!"

The paralyzed man raised his hand.Just like playing a show, everyone on the boat laughed together.Zhou Zhenfu said quietly to Yang Yi: "This monk must have the law. We are looking for such a person, why don't you ask him in your cabin?" Yang Yi said: "That's right. I have no family members in my cabin. You can live there." Then he said to the monk, "Since it is inconvenient for you to hang out with other people, you can come and live in my cabin. Take your tea and rice, don't worry about it." The monk said, "You shouldn't disturb me." The monk arrived Yang Yi stayed in the cabin.

After staying for three or four days, the monks will know some classics or talk about world affairs in the morning and evening.Yang Yi often said some important things on the road to impress the monks.He also said to him, "I want to go to Anzhuang County to be the magistrate." The monk said, "To be an official in Anzhuang, you have to make sure that you can go." Yang Yi told the monk about poverty and difficulty.The monk said: "My surname is Li. I am originally from Yazhou, Sichuan. I have moved a few houses to live in Weiqing County. I also have brothers and sisters in my family. I will go back and find someone with magical powers for you, and I will accompany you. Nothing will happen. "If you can't find someone, don't go easily. I won't go to Wudang, I will go to Guangli with you." Yang Yi thanked him again and again, and told the monk about his confidant in detail.Seeing that Yang Yi was happy and sincere, the monk respected Yang Gong even more.Knowing that Duke Yang is very poor, he went to build a company by himself, took a dozen or so taels of red gold, and five or sixty taels of silver, and sent them to Yang Gong for money.Duke Yang refused to accept it again and again, but the monk decided to give it away, and Duke Yang accepted it.

Unconsciously, after more than half a month in the boat, I came to Qiongzhou, Guangdong.Zhou Zhenfu and Yang Gong said: "I am heading east to Lianzhou. I should be here to accompany you, but now there is this kind-hearted elder here. You can entrust him, and I don't need it. I just say goodbye. Good luck to see you again in the future." He asked Elder Fu again and again: "Everything is up to you." The elder said: "There is no need to pay, the monk will take care of himself." Zhou Zhenfu arranged some wine and food to say goodbye to Yang Gong and the monk.After drinking for half a day, Zhou Wang asked for another boat to go.

Let's say that Yang Gong and the elders were in the boat, and they traveled for a few more days and came to Pianqiao County.The elder came and said to Yang Gong: "This is my home. Moor the boat at the horse's head. I will go up to find people first, and then I will come and get off the boat. I will just wait here." to go.After going for seven or eight days in a row, there was no news, and the wait made Yang Gong very anxious.Even so, it can be forgiven that this monk is a man of faith and deeds, he will never lie, he just hangs in the air every day.On the ninth day, I saw the elder leading seven or eight people, carrying two loads of boxes and cages, some food, and a sedan chair filled with people, to the side of the boat.He raised the sedan chair curtain, looked at the hatch of the ship, and helped out a beautiful woman who looked about 24 or [-] years old.See how this woman is doing?Poetry cloud: Monopolize the balcony Wandian spring, pomegranate skirt dyed Bixiang cloud.The autumn water in front of me is muddy and bottomless, and it is absolutely better than Xiang Wang Ziyujun.Another poem says: Begonia branch is the third watch of the last month, and Concubine Yang comes out of the group in drunkenness.Immediately, the pipa reminded me to go away, and Ah Mankong hated Yanyangchun.It is said that the elder and the woman have finished meeting Yang Gong, and they have called the elders and children, a righteous daughter and two servants who have a daughter-in-law to come and kowtow.The elder pointed to the woman and said, "He is my niece and niece. Because I am a widow at home, I specially brought him to serve my lord. He has learned some spells since he was a child, and my lord will rely on him for everything. Naturally, nothing will happen." Just put the things in the box and ask people to put them in place.It was getting late, the elders and his party rested on the boat.The daughter-in-law and maid went to the fire cabin to arrange some tea and dinner, and ate with everyone.Li also rewarded himself with five coins and the boatman.Yang Gong saw that he got a beautiful woman and several cages for nothing without spending a penny. He thanked the elders and said, "It's hard to repay a dog or a horse." The elder and everyone went to rest in the other cabin.Yang Gong slept with Li Shi in the official cabin.I can't say enough about planning for a night.

The next day, the elder got up, had breakfast with everyone, and said goodbye to Yang Gong and Li Shi.He paid Li Shi again and said: "I already paid the money the day before yesterday. You have to be careful, and don't overdo it. I'll see you on the day of honor relocation." The elder turned around only after watching the boat sail away.

Besides, this Li family is not only born with enchanting beauty, but also has a gentle nature, is capable of everything, and is also born smart.Falling in love with Yang Gong is like knotting hair.After traveling for more than ten days, I came to the Cangjiang River.It is said that the Zangjiang River is connected to Bashuchuan River in the east and Yelang in Dianchi Lake in the west.When all the rivers meet, the water is the most turbulent.When there is no wind, there are waves, and boats and boats are difficult to help.When the boat arrived at the mouth of the river, the sailors had to eat enough before sailing across the river.When sailing a boat, the wind and water are strong, so you can't stop; in addition, there are sharp rocks in the river, and you have to let it go along the river.The people on the boat got it right before they were about to issue the order to sail, but Li said to Duke Yang in a panic: "You can't sail the boat. You have to hide from the wind for three days before you can let it go." Why don't you sail the boat?" Li said: "The strong wind came in just a moment. According to me, put the boat in Puli to hide from the strong wind." Yang Gong wanted to try Li's ability, so he called the sailor Asked: "Is there a Puzi here?" The sailor said: "There is a Shidi Pu in front, and there is a Luoshi on the northwest corner of the Pu. Put the boat in quickly." The sailors pushed the boat together.Just when I was about to enter Puzikou, I saw the wind blowing from the northwest corner.At the beginning, the dust was raised, and after the second time, the trees were pulled out, and the green water of the river was all black.The waves smashed the sky and the earth, and the ghosts cried and cried, terrified and killing people.The gust of wind damaged countless ships, and they were crazy until sunset.Mrs. Li called her servant girl and daughter-in-law, made tea and food, and cleaned up for the night.

The next day, the wind still blows again.By noon, the wind had settled.There are several small boats, carrying the land and goods in the market to sell.Yang Gong was very happy to see that Li not only knew magic but also astronomy.He asked the people on board to buy some fresh fruits and earthenware to flatter Mrs. Li.There is another boat selling betel sauce. How does this betel sauce taste?There are poems as evidence: In the white jade plate, there are clusters of crimson fungus, and the bright golden tripod reveals the spirit of abundance.The mulberry essence is ripe on the branches in August, and the new amber in the world is brewed.Yang Gong said: "I only heard that betel sauce is a delicacy in Yunnan and Sichuan, but I have never eaten it. Why don't you buy some to eat with grandma?" He asked the sailors to ask the seller of betel sauce: "How much does this jar cost? "The man who sold the bean sauce said: "It takes five hundred guan, enough money." Yang Gong said: "Hey, ask the boy to come into the cabin and ask grandma how much money he has to ask for." The boy went into the cabin and asked grandma for it Money to buy sauce.Mrs. Li said: "Don't buy this sauce from him. You have a tongue when you buy it." The young man came out and replied to Yang Gong.Yang Gong said: "What is it worth to buy a jar of soy sauce, so you have a tongue? Grandma just saw that it was too expensive and didn't want to give up the money, so she said so." I bought this jar of sauce with some money from the barbarian, and took it into the cabin. go.When I opened the jar, the aroma of the sauce came out, and the color was as lovely as red agate; it tasted so sweet in my mouth.Mrs. Li hastily asked for a lid for the jar of sauce, and said, "Don't eat him, daddy. The tongue came. I don't have this betel sauce here. It comes from Nanyue. Its wood is like a grain tree, and its leaves are like mulberry. Two or three inches, and they don’t want to grow more. After nine months, it will be ripe in the frost. The natives pick it up and brew it into sauce; it is advanced to the royal family, and it is a delicacy! This is stolen and sold, and the matter has been revealed.”

It turned out that Dutang ordered the county magistrate to send wealthy households to Nanyue to buy it at a high price, but Dutang didn't dare to use it for himself and wanted to enter the imperial court.The rich family had to endure untold hardships, spent a lot of property, and broke their homes before they managed to get a pot.Just about to put it in another silver jar, I sent it to the county magistrate to transfer it to Dutang, but was stolen by this barbarian.Because of the loss of the sauce, the rich family panicked and seized it in all directions, just like a dead person.Someone knows the wind and reports it to the rich.The rich family bet on the real card, drove a fast boat, two or thirty people, each armed with knives and guns, beat gongs and drums, and rushed to Yangzhi County to get on the boat to get the sauce.The warship was not far away, only half an arrow away.

Yang Zhixian panicked when he heard this, hid in the cabin, and said, "Grandma, what should I do?" Mrs. Li said, "I taught my father not to buy from him, and now this big incident is happening. The barbarian goes everywhere, not moving at all." Let's kill them, that's the law of etiquette!" Li said again: "Don't panic, father." He quickly asked the boy to bring a basin of water into the cabin, recited a mantra, looked at the water, and saw the warship, It's like being nailed in the water, and it can't be held up even if he supports it.You can't go forward, you can't go forward, you can't fall behind, you can only be nailed in the middle of the water.Everyone on the warship panicked and said, "there must be demons on the official ship. Go and invite people to fight." Here Mrs. Li has called the sailors over, and said in rural talk, "don't be upset, everyone! The official ship is here by chance. The boat rests here because it is sheltered from the wind in an expensive place. Because someone sold the betel sauce, he didn’t know where it was. He bought the sauce for a while and didn’t touch it. It’s enough to send the original product, and the price is no longer necessary.” The soldiers on the warship saw Well said, and knowing that the sauce had never eaten from him, he said, "As long as the original is returned, the original silver will also be returned." The sailor returned to Yangzhi County and sent the jar of sauce.The original silver was returned on the warship, and neither side used swords.Mrs. Li drew a few pictures in the water basin with his hand, and the military boat propped up gently, and sent the thief who stole the sauce to the county for questioning.Yang Zhixian said: "You killed grandma to save this disaster." Li said: "From now on, I will only rely on me, and I will take care of you." The next day, the wind stopped blowing.It is exactly: the golden wave does not move, the fish and the dragon are silent, and the Yushu is silent and the birds are inhabiting.After they had breakfast, they let the boat across the river.
