The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Li Muchen was baffled by what he heard. This was too far from the legendary story of the White Snake.

"Is this the original version of Xu Xian and White Snake?"

Zhi Ren smiled and said: "This is not the Legend of the White Snake. The Legend of the White Snake is already another story."

"Already? So, another Legend of White Snake is also in the story you want to tell?" Li Muchen said in surprise.

"Donor, don't worry, please have a cup of tea first and listen to me finish the story."

The water in the iron kettle on the stove was boiling at this time. Chinin opened the lid and poured spoonfuls into the teapot with a spoon. His movements were very slow, his hands were very steady, and not a drop of water spilled.

When the water in the teapot flows out from the spout and pours into the tea cup, the aroma of tea immediately overflows.

Li Muchen knew as soon as he smelled it that this tea was extraordinary and he might not be able to drink it outside.

"White Snake was beheaded by a Taoist. He was so heartbroken that he wanted to fight with that Taoist. But he had been practicing in the temple since he was a child. He only heard about Buddhism and did not practice supernatural powers. He was no match for the Taoist. In the face of that powerful magic, he He is as weak as an ant. The Taoist saw that he was not evil and could not bear to kill him. But he was determined and refused to listen no matter how the Taoist tried to persuade him. In the end, seeing that there was no hope of revenge, he decided to die and followed the White Snake."

"The Taoist asked him why he risked his life for a snake demon, so he told the Taoist everything from beginning to end. After hearing this, the Taoist sighed that the world is ruthless, but not as good as a demon. He told Yixin, there is something in Lingyin Temple The holy object was originally transferred from Lingshan with Feilai Peak. This object can shift time and space. If you can get this object and catch up in time, you may be able to catch up with the white snake's soul, and the two of you can meet in another world."

"Yixin grew up in Lingyin Temple, but he had never heard of such a treasure, so he asked what the name of this thing was and what it looked like. The Taoist said that this thing is called the Six Void Wheel Rotating Plate, which draws on the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It looks like a millstone. On the disk are engraved the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, the stars, the mountains and the sea, the eight gates of life and death, and the mountains and hexagrams."

"I suddenly remembered that there is indeed a millstone in Lingyin Temple, in the corner of the backyard, with strange patterns engraved on it. But he has used that thing to grind beans since he was a child, and sometimes he also uses it to pound medicine. It is so common. The object, could it be a treasure?"

"The Taoist said that this thing was created by gods and demons. Even practitioners can hardly understand its secrets, let alone ordinary people. I have a Compass Sutra here, which is the key to unlocking the divine curse above. If you can understand it, , just turn around in the void and search for your wife’s soul. After that, I dropped a scripture and disappeared without a trace."

"Yi was overjoyed and suddenly felt hope. Without reading the contents of the scripture, he sneaked back to Lingyin Temple, went to the backyard and stole the millstone. He took the millstone home, then opened the scripture, thinking that as long as he read the scripture If you do what the scriptures say, you can chase your wife's soul. But after reading the scriptures, he realized that the Compass Sutra was profound and difficult to understand. It was not an instruction manual for the use of the Six Void Wheels, but a profound and profound book. The practice method.”

"It took Yishin twenty years to barely understand one or two of them. He couldn't wait any longer! It is said that reincarnation occurs every twenty years. Twenty years have passed. If you don't pursue it, I was afraid that he would never be able to catch up with his wife. So, according to what he learned in the "Compass Sutra", he chanted the incantation and activated the Six Void Wheels..."

Chi Ren stopped here.

Just as the pot of tea was finished, he again scooped water from the iron pot to make tea.

Li Muchen didn't expect to hear the Six Void Wheel from Monk Zhiren.

Ever since he got the fixing needle from Zhu's house in Jinling and activated this treasure, he has been pondering the real function of this compass.

The compass can turn the void and break barriers, he has known this for a long time. It’s just that the corresponding spaces above are layered on top of each other, like a Rubik’s cube, which can be rotated in all directions. Without a special password, it is extremely easy for users to get lost in it.

But according to Zhi Ren, this Rubik's Cube can not only reverse space, but also turn time. The Taoist said that it was formed by the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. If that was true, then the power of this thing might be able to break through the underworld barrier and enter the Nine Netherworld for the first time.

Or, simply go back twenty years ago?

Li Muchen couldn't believe it.

However, he believed in the existence of the "Compass Sutra", because the Six Void Wheel Wheel obviously had special control spells, especially the spells on it, which required special mental power to be activated correctly.

He didn't rush to take out the compass, not because he didn't trust Zhi Ren, but because he felt there was still some doubts in it. For example, Zhi Ren was talking about a millstone, but what he was holding was an exquisite compass. If these two are the same thing, then something must have happened in between.

In addition, why did Chi Ren tell him this story at this time?

Li Muchen picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then asked with a smile: "What happened next?"

Zhiren did not continue telling the story, but asked: "Donor, how do you like this tea?"

"Good tea." Li Muchen praised.

"This tea is called Asking the Buddha. It is a tea tree transplanted from Lingyin. It is also the oldest tea tree species in Qiantang. But now most people don't know about this tea. A few years ago, experts came to investigate and concluded , saying this is a kind of Longjing."

Zhiren laughed when he said this, "Everyone in the world knows about Longjing, but they don't know that the name of Qiantang tea spread because of the prosperity of Buddhism. The earliest tea party in Qiantang was when Lingyin first opened. There was no Longjing tea at that time. As for the name, Lu Yu’s "Tea Classic" records tea from Lingyin and Tianzhu, but not the name Longjing."

"Tea is the medicine of spiritual energy. It cannot grow unless it is filled with spiritual energy. In ancient times, Qiantang tea, Xianglin tea from lower Tianzhu, Baiyun tea from upper Tianzhu, and Baoyun tea from Ge Xianweng's alchemy place are the most famous. They have been tribute teas in all dynasties. First visit Later, the tea in Qiantang was named Longjing. Everyone thought it was because of the Longjing Spring in Xishan Mountain, but they didn’t know that the spring was just an attached name. Qiantang Fengshui gathered on the spring water of a lake, and the real Longjing was also It’s the eye of Feng Shui, right there.”

Zhi Ren pointed at Qiantang Lake in the distance and said.

Li Muchen knew without looking that Zhi Ren was referring to the three pools reflecting the moon in the middle of the lake, the small space surrounded by three stone towers.

“That’s the real Longjing!”

Li Muchen thought Zhi Ren was getting to the point, but after making another pot of tea, he suddenly changed the topic and started telling stories again.

"During the Southern Dynasties, there was a young man named Ruan Yu in Qiantang. He was from a well-known family. When he visited the lake one day, he met Su Xiaoxiao, a singer on the lake. This Su Xiaoxiao was also from a well-known family, with all kinds of talents and extraordinary temperament. It was only because of the decline of his family that he was reduced to this. She is a singer. But she does not sell her body, and many dignitaries cannot buy her smile. Ruan Yu fell in love at first sight and couldn't help himself, so he confessed his love to her. Seeing Ruan Yu's talent, Su Xiaoxiao was also happy in her heart and sang to her:

The concubine rides on a jade chariot, and the concubine rides on a green horse. Where can we unite? Under the pines and cypresses of Xiling. "

"After Ruan Yu returned home, he reported to his parents that he planned to redeem Su Xiaoxiao's life, but was strongly opposed by his family. Ruan Yu's father worked in Jinling, so he took Ruan Yu to Jinling and made an appointment with Jinling for him. It was a marriage of a powerful family. Ruan Yu would rather die and went on a hunger strike to resist. His father had no choice but to let him go back to Qiantang."

"As soon as Ruan Yu arrived in Qiantang, he hurriedly looked for Su Xiaoxiao. Unfortunately, there was no Su Xiaoxiao on the boat in the lake. There was only a lonely grave without an owner under the pines and cypresses in Xiling."

Zhiren sighed and looked at Qiantang Lake in the distance.

"The swallow attracts the orioles and attracts the willows on the way, and the head of Zhangtai is connected to the West Lake. The spring flowers and the autumn moon are like visiting each other. I live in Xiling. My surname is Su..."

There are many tourists on the lake, from Sudi to Baidi.

That lonely tomb is still sitting there quietly after thousands of years. But among the people in the stream, was there the one she was waiting for?

"Many years later, the Ruan family fell into decline, and the magnificent courtyard was empty of people and everything inside was emptied, leaving only ruins and tiles, and the whole courtyard was dilapidated."

Chinin continued.

"In the Sui Dynasty, a businessman named Samurai Yu passed by Qiantang and found a millstone in the old courtyard of the Ruan family. Seeing the strange patterns and simple characters on it, he thought it was a strange item and took it back. On the way back, he met After arriving in Hedong to appease the envoy Li Yuan, he raised troops and went to Chang'an..."
