Chapter 43 Chen Congshan lost his wife in Meiling (2)
Let's say that Shenyang Gong took Zhang Ruchun and returned them to the cave.Shocked to death, he woke up after a while and burst into tears.In Yuanlai cave, there was a lady named Mudan, who was also photographed in the cave for a long time, and came forward to persuade Ruchun not to worry.Shen Gong said to Ruchun: "My lady, the little sage had a predestined relationship with my lady in previous lives. There is another world in the cave today. If you eat my fairy peach, fairy wine, and sesame rice, you will be immortal. Look at me The fairies in this cave are all from the mortal world. Don’t be bored, my lady, and we will share the same bed in your orchid room." As Chunjian said, she mourned and cried bitterly, and told Shen Gong: "I don't want to be happy in the cave. I can live forever, but I only want to die early. If you talk about cloud and rain, you really don’t want to.” Seeing this, Shen Gong thought to himself: “I’m so excited for him; , I must seek death, but it is not a pity for such a handsome and handsome person!" Nai called a woman named Jinlian Cave Master, who was also photographed a few days ago, and she has been in the cave for many years.Shen Gong said: "Persuaure Ruchun well, treat him well sooner or later, lure him with good words, and wait for him to return." Jin Lian led Ruchun to the room and waited for him to drink and eat.Ruchun wine does not eat, food does not eat, just worry.Jinlian and Mudan persuaded him again and again: "Since you have been photographed here, you have no choice but to do nothing. Since ancient times, under his low eaves, how dare you not bow your head?" Ruchun told Jinlianyun: "Sister, do you know that I am husband and wife in this life?" Separation? I was taken here by this old demon in the middle of the night, forcing my slaves to come here, and I will never follow! I just want to die soon, to show my chastity. Gu Yunlie's daughter will not remarry, and I would rather die than be humiliated now." Jin Lian said "If you want to know what's going on under the mountain, please ask someone who has experienced it. I have also been here before. My family lives in Nanxiong Mansion, and my husband is rich and honored. He was also photographed by Shen Gong and came to the cave for five years. You saw his ugly appearance, and I did the same at the beginning; later It's easier to get used to it. Now that you've come here, you have no choice but to let him go." Ruchun was furious, and scolded: "I'm not like you who are obscene and lowly, greedy for life and humiliated, living in vain, a lowly daughter! " Jin Lianyun: "If you don't listen to good words, disaster will come to you." Then he reported to Shen Gong and said: "The new beauty refuses to follow suit, and slanders him badly, so I advise him not to follow." Shen Gong said angrily: " This slut is so rude! I was supposed to beat him to death with a copper hammer, but he was so beautiful that I couldn't bear to do it; but he insisted on not doing it." Hand it over to Mrs. Peony: "You take care of him. Cut this slut's hair With unkempt hair and bare feet, he was fined to go to the hills to fetch water and irrigate the flowers and trees. I would have three light meals a day with him." According to Mudan, she cut Zhang Ruchun's hair to match her eyebrows, and her feet were bare; she gave him a pair of water buckets.Ruchun thought to herself: "If I want to die in a rock stream, I will see you one day. After all the hardships, I will see my husband again." I couldn't help carrying water with tears in my eyes.It is exactly: I would rather be a poor chaste woman than a greedy and vulgar woman.Not to mention that Zhang's Ruchun suffered in the cave.In addition, Chen Xunjian and Tong Wang Ji left Tokyo for more than two months, and went to the north of Meiling, where they were taken by Shenyang Gong to the children, and there was no way to find them.Wang Ji persuaded the officials to take up their posts, but the inspection had to abandon them.Naiwang went to a village hotel in front of him, inspected and dismounted in front of the shop, went in with Wang Ji to buy wine and dinner, paid back the money, and then got on the horse and left.I saw a thatched cottage, which was a hexagram seller, under Meiling.The signboard reads: "Yang Dianqian asks the immortal to write a pen. Good or bad luck is guaranteed, and there is no difference between good and bad luck." Chen Xun inspected in front of the door, dismounted from the saddle, and finished meeting Yang Dianqian at the entrance.Dian Gan asked, "Where did the honorable official come from?" Chen Xunjian told the story of losing his wife last night from beginning to end.Yang Dianqian burned incense to invite the saint, and Chen Xunjian knelt down and prayed.I saw Yang Dianqian invited the immortals to come, and judged four sentences with his pen. The poem said: "When disasters happen in a thousand days, the beauty will be strong."When Ziyang came to Japan, the mirror was broken and reunited again. "

Yang Dianqian said: "Officials, don't worry about it. Children will suffer a thousand days of disaster. Three years later, they will meet Ziyang again and the couple will be reunited." Chen Xunjian thought to himself: "Tokyo once met the real Ziyang, and borrowed Luo Tong as a companion. Because Luo Tong gasped and sent him back. It is thousands of miles away, how did Ziyang get here?" Su Nai was very relieved.I paid back the hexagram money, thanked Yang Dianqian, got on the horse and came to Meiling with Wang Ji and the others.When Chen Xunjian looked at the mountain, it was really steep: if he wanted to ask the world to block the road, Dayu Meiling was bitter.Grinding their teeth, the tigers walked in groups, and snakes gathered all over the ground with their breath.

Chen inspected and a group passed Meiling.Twenty miles south of the Lingnan Mountains, there is a small pavilion called Jieguan Pavilion.Dismount from the horse during the inspection, and enter the pavilion to rest temporarily.Suddenly I saw Wang Jibao saying: "There are archers from the inspection yamen of Shajiao Town, Nanxiong, who are coming to meet you from afar." Chen inspector called in, and the visit was over.After one night, the next day, he took office with the bow soldiers and officials. As for the promotion hall in the Yamen, all the congratulations were over.Chen Xunjian is an official in Shajiao Town, and he is upright and rigorous.Time is like an arrow, it is exactly: the sunlight outside the window flickers, and the shadows of flowers in front of the banquet move from place to place.Suddenly in office, I don't realize that I have more than one year.They sent people to inquire about the child's news, but there was no trace.Perfect: like a stone sinking to the bottom of the sea, like a paper kite with broken strings.

Chen Xunjian felt very depressed because he had no news about the child; thinking about his family, he cried all day long.When I was thinking about Zhang Ruchun, the archers suddenly reported: "My lord, what a disaster! Now there is a report from the governor of Nanxiong Prefecture: there is a strong man named Yang, named Guang, nicknamed 'Zhenshanhu', who gathered five or seven hundred small Minions, occupied Nanlin Village, robbed houses, murdered and set fires, and suffered disasters for the people. He paid the inspection and said, "Lead the 1000 men and horses under his control quickly, turn off the military weapons, and go to arrest them without delay." Chen inspector heard that and quickly packed up the army Pommel horse.After putting on his clothes, he led 1000 people to Nanlin village.

But it was said that the mountain tiger in Nanlin Village was drinking in the village, and the younger brother reported: "The official army is coming." He hurriedly mounted his horse and held a knife, and with the sound of a gong, five hundred younger brothers were attracted to meet the enemy.Chen Xunjian and Zhenshanhu didn't talk to each other, and the two horses crossed. How could the grassroots rival Chen Xunjian?Douwushihe, one spear stabs the mountain tiger under the horse, owls its head, and kills the young people.Bring the head back to Nanxiong Mansion and present it in the hall; the governor of the mansion was overjoyed and rewarded him heavily.Since returning to the inspection office, the celebration of drinking has been completed.Just because he beheaded the Zhenshan tiger, it really is: the prestige greatly revitalizes Nanxiong's mansion, and his martial arts are admired by everyone.

This inspector Chen was in office, but he suddenly became official three years earlier.When the new officials took over, Chen Xunjian packed his bags and left Shajiao Town with Wang Ji.Two trips and one trip together, looking at each other under the Yuling Mountains, the red sun is setting in the west, and it is getting late.Chen Xunjian and his party saw a temple in the pine forest far away. Wang Ji told the officials: "There is a temple in front of us. Let's go and stay there." Chen Xunjian reined in his horse and moved forward. Red Lotus Temple" three big gold characters.Dismount from the horse during the inspection, and enter the temple with a group of people.Yuan Lai, the elder of this monastery, named Chan Master Zhan Dahui, is an ancient Buddha born with vast Dharma and noble virtues.At that time, the walker reported to the elder: "There is a past official staying here." The elder taught the walker to invite each other.Inspect the abbot, see the elders.At the end of the ceremony, the elder asked, "Where did the officials come from?" Chen Xunjian explained the past, "Elder Wanwang is merciful, and instructed Chen Xin to find the child and return to his hometown. I will not forget the great kindness." Report: This monster is a white ape spirit, who has been perfected for thousands of years, and its changes are unpredictable. You are a chaste man, and you refuse to follow him. He cuts your hair and bare feet, carries water to water the flowers, and suffers from it. This person is called Shenyang Gong. I often go to the temple to hear about Zen and explain its Buddhism. If officials want to see Ruren, how long can they stay in my temple? When Lord Shenyang comes, I will persuade him to change his mind and let your wife go. The elder said so, he liked it in his heart, and rested in the temple.It is exactly: five miles of pavilions and one small peak, the upper part is divided into north and south, west and east.How many lost people in the world return to the road with one finger.

Chen Xunjian lived in Honglian Temple for more than ten days.Suddenly one day, the traveler reported to the elder: "Mr. Shenyang has come to the temple." The inspector heard this and hid behind the screen in the abbot's middle.I saw the elders welcoming Lord Shen Yang into the abbot.After the rites are finished, they sit in different positions, and the traveler offers tea.After tea, Shenyang made an announcement to the elder, saying: "The little sage can't get rid of the desire for love, but is only obsessed with the nature because of the lust. Who can untie the golden bell from the tiger's neck?" nature.

Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form.Spotless, everything is clear.No wonder the old monk talked a lot to persuade you. I heard that there is a lady like Chun in your cave, who has been in the cave for three years.She is a chaste woman, but letting him go home with her life is to cut off her desire. After hearing this, Lord Shenyang replied, "Elder, the little saint hates this person in his heart."He was fined to carry water for three years and refused to change his mind; this kind of foolishness will never be taken lightly! "Chen Xunjian heard from behind the screen that it was exactly: Raise the anger in his heart and bite his teeth. Chen Xunjian was furious! Pulled out the sword he was wearing, and slashed at the head. Shen Yang pointed with his hand, and his sword was turned backwards. Himself. Duke Shen Yang said: "I don't look at the face of the elders, I will smash you to pieces, and this injustice will be avenged. "Fine, Lord Shenyang bid farewell to the elder and went back. He called Zhang Ruchun in front of him from the cave, and wanted to cut open his heart and kill him. He was rescued by Mudan and Jinlian, and he continued to carry water and water the flowers. .

Let's say that inspector Chen doesn't know the whereabouts of his wife, so it's okay to arrive; knowing that he is in Shenyang Cave, he feels even more troubled.In the abbot of Honglian Temple, I asked the elders: "How can I see my wife's face?" The elders said: "It is not difficult to see. The old monk pointed out a path and went up the mountain to find it." The traveler returned to the temple by himself.It is only said that Chen Xin went to find his wife, but I don't know if he will find it or not.Exactly: When the wind is fixed, you will know that the cicada is in the tree, and the moon will come to the window when the lamp is left.On the same day, Chen Xunjian took Wang Ji and his companions to the top of Meiling Mountain. Regardless of the ruggedness and danger, they walked to the bank of the mountain rock pool and saw a barefoot woman carrying water.When he hurriedly looked forward, it was Ruchun.Husband and wife, hugging their heads and crying, each telling their previous love, could it be that they met in a dream?Tell them one by one.Ruchun said: "Mr. Shen went back to the cave yesterday, and almost died." The inspector said: "Xie Honglian Temple Elder, who showed the way to find you. I didn't want to but met you. It's better to run away with you." Ruchun said : "I can't go. Shen Gong has great demon skills and unpredictable supernatural powers. If he knows that I am going, when he catches up, he and the officials will die. I heard that Shen Gong is only afraid of Ziyang Zhenjun on the day, and he will not come unless he is asked to come." Solve the problem. Officials can go back to the temple in a hurry, don't wait for Shen Gong to find out, the disaster is not small." Chen Xunjian had to abandon Ruchun, and went back to the temple to thank the elders, saying that he had seen his beautiful wife.He said: "Mr. Shen is only afraid of Zhenjun Ziyang. He met Chen Xin in Tokyo. How can I get him to save us now that we are far away?" , and we will see." The elder taught the practitioner to burn incense, and he went into samadhi for a while.When I came back from Dingding, I said to Chen Xunjian: "Ziyang Daoist was a Taoist boy with you at the beginning, and you drove him back halfway. You can go now. If you walk for three days, you will have retribution." Chen Xunjian saw and said According to his words, he hurriedly walked to the mountain temple.After wandering for two days, there was no trace.

Let’s say Ziyang Daoist said to Luo Tong in Daluo Wonderland: “Three years ago, when Chen Xunjian went to take office, his wife had a thousand-day calamity, and now it’s almost full. I pity him for cultivating the Tao and cultivating the truth, so that he can be devout. Now I will go down to the mortal world with you, and go to Meiling to rescue his wife and return to her hometown." Luo Tong listened to the order and went down to the mortal world together, heading for the road to Guangdong.On this day, inspector Chen saw Zhenjun and Luo Tong coming from afar, so he knelt down and begged, "Zhenjun, please save me! My disciple's wife, Zhang Ruchun, was trapped in the cave for three years by Shen Yanggong's demon law." If you suffer from it, I hope the real king will save you!" The real king said with a smile: "Chen Xin, you can go to Honglian Temple to wait for a while, and then I will come." Chen Xin bid farewell, and went back to the temple first; prepare the incense case, Welcome to the real king to save you.It's exactly: it's not easy to hold the law, and there are many ways to stand up and start a career.It is easy for a thousand-year-old iron tree to bloom, but it is difficult for a day to be born.

Chen Xunjian waited in the temple for a day, only to see Zhenjun Ziyang walking to the temple, and his appearance was extraordinary.The elder went straight out of the temple gate to greet him, and after entering the abbot's speech, the host and guest were seated.The elders looked at Zhenjun Ziyang, who had the appearance of divinity and eight poles, dignified and majestic.Chen Xunjian bowed in front of Zhenjun and said: "I hope that Zhenjun will be merciful, and I will save Chen Xin's wife Zhang Ruchun's life and return home. I will pay my respects." Zhenjun said a few words in front of the incense table. Words, I saw a gust of wind in the abbot.But see: the invisible and invisible penetrate the human bosom, and the peach blossoms are blooming in February.Pick up the yellow leaves on the spot, and push out the white clouds into the mountains.Where the wind passed by, I saw two red scarf generals appearing, very brave.These two generals turned to Zhenjun and said, "What is my master's purpose?" Zhenjun Ziyang said, "Come with me to Shenyang Cave, and come here to capture the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. You must not lose anything." Soon after the end of the day, he tied Shen Gong with an iron chain and brought him to Zhenjun.Shen Gong knelt down, Ziyang Zhenjun judged, and ordered the heavenly general to take Shen Gong to Fengdu Heaven Prison for interrogation.Teach Luo Tong to enter Shenyang Cave, rescue many women from the cave, and order them to pay and go home.Zhang Ruchun and Chen Xin, the husband and wife were reunited again, and thanked Master Ziyang.The real person bid farewell to the elder and Chen Xin, and left with Luo Tong slowly.

Chen Xunjian thanked the elder with the gift and said goodbye to the monks in a temple.After packing up the luggage, sedan and horse, Wang Ji and his entourage left the Red Lotus Temple, wandering on the road.Or one day, back to my hometown in Tokyo.The husband and wife are reunited until they grow old, and they will die in a hundred years. There are poems to prove it: Three years of hard work in Shenyang, the loving couple is heartbroken.In the end, it is difficult for the evil to defeat the righteous, and the chastity has been honored to this day.
