Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

The largest Buddhist holy places in the Song Dynasty were Tiantai Mountain in Taizhou and Wutai Mountain in Daizhou. Speaking of fame, Guoqing Temple in Tiantai Mountain was the ancestral home of Tiantai Sect, while Wenshu Monastery in Wutai Mountain was the dojo of Manjusri Bodhisattva. A lot of the former.

Something happened in Weisheng Prefecture, Ximenqing remembered that he planned to go to Mount Wutai to visit Elder Zhizhen, so he called Monk Hua, Lu Zhishen;

The two hit it off immediately, Ximen Qing entrusted Guan Sheng with the trivial matters, brought a few blood-blowing soldiers, took the magic horse, and came to Daizhou.

The Divine Walking Method is a Taoist spell. Fortunately, the monk Lu Zhishen is not very deep in Buddhism, and it is not the first time he has used Jiama, so he went to the foot of Mount Wutai and saw a market from a distance. There were about five or seven hundred households. Take the armored horse and walk slowly.

Ximen Qing suddenly thought of someone, and asked, "Senior brother was a monk at the Wenshu Monastery in Mount Wutai, so someone must have introduced him?"

"That's Yuanwai Zhao from Qibao Village. He is Tanyue, the benefactor of Wenshuyuan, and his family sent the certificate to Wenshuyuan." Lu Zhishen stroked his bald head: "; Yuanwai Zhao married Jin Cuilian and sent Sajia up the mountain. The fate is over; Since the Sa family came down from Wutai Mountain, they have no contact with Yuanwai Zhao."

There was some sadness in Lu Zhishen's tone, Ximen Qing secretly thought, maybe Zhao Yuanwai was afraid that Lu Zhishen would cause trouble at home, so he persuaded him to become a monk; although it was destined, Lu Zhishen was probably unwilling.

Some later generations who studied the Water Margin said that Lu Zhishen had some affection for Jin Cuilian, but in Ximenqing's view, that was just an assumption of later generations.

Lu Zhishen's reluctance was just that he didn't want to cut off the world of mortals, which can be seen from his later actions.

The two talked while walking, and the guards followed them not far away, and they had arrived at the market unknowingly; although the scale was small, it was obviously a lively place, with all shops and restaurants.

Lu Zhishen pointed out: "A lot of people here got money from the monastery to do business here, and even the houses belonged to the monastery; the last time the Sa family went down the mountain to play, if they didn't find a secluded foot shop, they wouldn't even drink. Sell ​​and sell the house!"

Seeing that the day was approaching noon, Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Why don't you find a wine shop to fight... If anyone doesn't sell wine to senior brother this time, I'll make the decision and beat him up!"

Lu Zhishen also knew that Ximenqing was joking, and shook his head, "They're all businessmen, so what do they do? Besides, after drinking Jingyangchun, how can those village brews be able to get their mouths off!"

When mentioning Jingyangchun, Lu Zhishen was drooling, and said bitterly: "When we get back to Bianliang, Sajia will have to drink a lot, let's just get drunk!"

"Why do you need to go back to Bianliang, I can satisfy my senior brother here!" Ximen Qing asked his soldiers to take out two vials, flashed them in front of Lu Zhishen's eyes, and immediately attracted the attention of Master Lu.

"Okay! Alcohol is banned in the army, but you secretly hid two bottles!" Lu Zhishen joked, and snatched them away: "These two bottles are regarded as punishment for you to hide fine wine. When you return to Bianliang, you have to forgive the two big brothers of the family." earthen jar!"

Ximen Qing let him take it away, and said with a smile: "It's the five altars and ten altars, according to senior brother. I secretly hid this wine to satisfy my greed, and others don't know about it."

Lu Zhishen laughed loudly: "Master, you really have it!" After speaking, he turned his eyes and found the largest wine shop in the market, and pointed with his hand: "This one is the only one."

Ximen Qing saw that there was no signboard in the wine shop, only a wine pod sticking out from the eaves, Lu Zhishen held the two bottles of Jingyang Chunshun in his arms, raised the curtain, and everyone sat down inside, Lu Zhishen knocked on the table and said: "Put the wine Come!"

The owner of the shop saw that Lu Zhishen had an inch of hair on his head, and the ring scar was faintly visible, so how dare he sell wine to him?

"Master, don't blame me. This villain's house belongs to the monastery, and the capital also belongs to the monastery. The elder already has a decree..."

Before the words were finished, there was already a lot of laughter on the table. How could the owner of the shop know that Lu Zhishen was deliberately playing tricks on him, and said angrily: "You master is so unreasonable. If a villain sells you wine, you won't even do business. Is it a joke?"

Lu Zhi listened deeply, and slapped the table to laugh out loud; Ximen Qing laughed and said, "This senior brother and I are both from Bianliang, not monks on the mountain, why not?"

After Ximenqing finished speaking, Lu Zhishen put the two bottles of Jingyangchun in his arms on the table, and said, "Sajia brings their own wine, who cares about your village wine?"

Only then did the owner of the shop know what Lu Zhishen was up to, and stood aside angrily; Ximen Qing smoothed things over and said, "We have our own wine, you go and get some good food, and the meat needs to be cut a few more catties."

Seeing Ximen Qing's extraordinary demeanor, the owner of the shop didn't dare to make mistakes, so he agreed to cook and prepared to go.

Ximen Qing and Lu Zhishen made one table, and other blood-blowing soldiers occupied two tables. Immediately afterwards, the owner of the shop came back and brought several cooked chickens, big geese, etc., and several vegetables to each table.

Lu Zhishen couldn't hold back for a long time and opened the wine bottle. The owner of the shop was about to go down when he smelled the fragrance, he stood up suddenly, cupped his hands and asked, "Could it be Jingyangchun produced by Bianliang Chuixue Tower?"

Ximen Qing was not without surprise. Lu Zhishen broke off a chicken leg and said with a smile: "You look down on people, but you also know good wine! Let you know... This wine is Jingyangchun! And Without this senior official from Ximen, there would be no Jingyang Chun in this world!"

The owner of the shop heard "Ah!" and hastily bowed deeply to Ximen Qing: "It turns out that the military supervisor has arrived! The villain was rude just now. I have offended you so much. I hope you will forgive me! Needless to say, today's meals are served in the small restaurant." on people!"

Ximen Qing and Lu Zhishen looked at each other, unexpectedly, the owner of the shop knew his identity, and when asked, the owner of the shop said again: "Tian Hu is making trouble, people here in Daizhou are also in panic, I'm afraid they will call; if the Holy Land of Mount Wutai is destroyed Tian Hu's hand, what should we do? If it weren't for Lord Ximen, when would we be able to wipe out Tian Hu's rebels?"

After Ximen Qing heard this, he couldn't help sighing: Ordinary people, if they hadn't been "forced to go to the Liangshan Mountains", what they hoped all day long was nothing more than good weather and no war; people like Tian Hu were bullied by the government when they were hunters, But with great ambitions, coupled with the incitement of Bai Ying and others, I don't know how many people have been harmed for a while. It is no wonder that the people in these nearby counties regard him as a traitor, and they are afraid that the court will wipe it out as soon as possible.

The shop owner thanked him once, and didn't dare to disturb Ximen Qing and the others, so he went down by himself; Lu Zhishen took the lead, had a full meal, and even drank the two bottles of wine.

When everyone went out, Ximenqing still pressed Zhang Jiaozi at the bottom of the plate, and he would naturally see it when the shop owner cleaned it up.

Lu Zhishen didn't have enough wine, he was full from the meal, and slightly drunk, he led Ximen Qing and the others forward; he didn't take two steps and saw a big archway coming towards him. Big characters, but I don't know which famous artist wrote it.

"Going up from here is Mount Wutai!" Lu Zhishen revisited his old place, excitedly looking like a tour guide for later generations: "There are five peaks in the southeast, northwest, and hence the name of Mount Wutai; naturally there are not only the Wenshu Monastery on the mountain, but also Qingliang Temple and the Golden Pavilion. There are many temples, such as Zhenhai Temple, Nanshan Temple, Longquan Temple, etc.; Wenshu Monastery is in the middle, surrounded by temples, like stars holding the moon."

Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Presumably these brothers in the monastery have all gone to play?"

Lu Zhishen spat and said, "Even Wenshu Monastery Sajia has not been to many places. Aren't all monasteries just like birds, what's there to enjoy! Only those literati and poets have a good mood, wandering around in the mountains, Make a bird poem or something. The Sajia saw this kind of stuff, and they have already avoided it far away."

Ximen Qing laughed out loud when he heard the words, and climbed up the mountain with Lu Zhishen.

Even in later generations, Ximenqing has never been to Shanxi, let alone Mount Wutai; Waterfalls of all sizes rush out of a pool, either blue or green, like emeralds naturally inlaid on Mount Wutai.

Ximen Qing went all the way, looked all the way; Lu Zhishen was impatient for a long time, he stretched out his hand and pointed in front of him: "Senior official, the Sa family is waiting for you at the pavilion in the middle of the mountain."

Ximen Qing nodded, and Lu Zhishen went with his soldiers.

Although the roads in the mountains are rugged, most of them have stone steps, and it is not too much trouble to walk. When Ximen Qing arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the mountain, Lu Zhishen and the others got a little impatient.

"There is still half the journey to Wenshu Monastery. If the high officials wait to play, they will not be able to go down the mountain today."

Lu Zhishen was the first one to jump up and wanted to keep going up. Seeing that the pavilion looked like it was newly built, Ximen Qing deliberately said, "Wait a minute, brother!"

Lu Zhishen stopped immediately and asked, "If a senior official is tired, it's okay to take a break for a while, but you won't be able to rest any longer."

"It depends on you." Ximen Qing said with a smile: "I just saw that the base of the pavilion looks old, but the wood paint is new, as if someone repaired it..."

As soon as Ximen Qing finished speaking, Lu Zhishen touched his bald head and said with a smile: "You don't know, this is the last time you used your punches after drinking at home, and broke the pillars of the pavilion. Half of the pavilion collapsed, it's not a newly built one. what?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, Ximen Qing said: "I've never seen my senior martial arts, why don't you come to the two roads with a little drunkenness?"

All the soldiers applauded, Lu Zhishen waved his hands again and again and said: "How dare you? If you break the pavilion, King Kong, etc., the officials will ruin the banknotes again."

"King Kong?" Ximen Qing said with a smile, "Senior Brother even broke Wenshu Monastery's King Kong?"

Lu Zhishen knew that he was about to miss something just now, so he quickly laughed and said: "It's just old things after drinking, if there is anything to say, I'd better go up the mountain as soon as possible, see the elders and get off the hook."

Ximen Qing laughed for a while, and everyone climbed up the mountain again, never thinking that the two disciples of Wenshu Monastery saw it from a high place and did not recognize Ximen Qing, but Lu Zhishen had left an indelible wound in their hearts long ago, how could they Don't know?Hastily ran to tell Zhike.

Zhike remembered Lu Zhishen's commotion before he went down the mountain, so he hurried to find the chief priest and prison monastery. All the monks came to the abbot's room and said, "Zhishen came back to the monastery for some reason, what should I do?"

Elder Zhizhen shouted: "Hey! You have been in the temple for a long time and don't know anything about the world. This is Zhishen who accompanied the distinguished guest. Hurry up and open the door so that you can go out and greet him!"
