Miscellaneous Notes of the White Lotus School

It is said that Min Sanben didn't believe in the treasure hunting maps of Khitan treasures, but he saw that everyone said it seriously, and even fought for it, which made him interested.On this day, I redeemed my robe, turned it inside out, and even took out the interlining, but found nothing, so I had to sew it up again and put it on.

Bai Xian boasted: "Master, you still look good in a Khitan robe. That bell is piled up all over your body, and you look short and frustrated." Min San glared at him, and said, "Don't you dare to say it again, Lao Tzu* Fuck your mouth!" Bai Xian laughed dryly again: "You let the horses* go." Min San was about to reply when there was a sudden knock on the door.Those two held their breaths and listened carefully, only to hear the knocker say: "Gongsun Jing, the believer, please see the Holy Master Bailian."

Min San looked at Bai Xian, and Bai Xian waved his hand, asking him to open the door.Na Min Sanyi opened the door, barely recognizing Gongsun Jing.I saw that he had changed his outfit, wearing a black gauze scarf on his head, green silk on his feet, and a sandalwood straight gown. Even though his skin was as black as coal, he was still handsome.Min San clasped his palms together and said, "Gongsun benefactor, are you safe?" Gongsun Jing beamed brightly, revealing his white teeth, and said, "Please forgive me, Holy Master. The believer's abrupt visit is all because of the joy in his heart, which is beyond words. Come and thank the leader." After speaking, he dropped his body to the ground, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.

Min Sandao said: "Please rise, benefactor. The benefactor sows good causes and reaps good fruits. Today's good fate is all due to his daily accumulation of virtue. Amitabha." Gongsun Jing got up, took out a box from his baggage, offered it with both hands, and said again "Thank you, Master, for your teaching. This is a little sesame oil money, Master, please accept it with a smile." Min San asked Bai Xian to take the box, and said, "Thank you, Master Gongsun, for your kindness. Good people will be rewarded eventually, and old mothers who have no birth will know. Donor I paid a special visit, and this deity is very moved, please come in and take a rest." He said again: "This is Bai Xian, the master of the Purification Hall of our sect."

Gongsun Jing bowed to Bai Xian and said, "Gongsun Jing, a trustworthy man, I have met the hall master." Bai Xian also returned the Namaste and went to prepare tea.Gongsun Jing approached Min San, pretending to be mysterious, and said: "Master, about the trace of the treasure yesterday, our family only talked about seven points. The remaining three points are specially told to the Master today to show our sincerity." Min San said: "Benefactor Gongsun, please tell me." At this time, Bai Xian brought tea, and Min San said: "Master Bai, please come and have a look."

Gongsun Jing took out his Luo Geng again, held it in his hand, and said: "As I said yesterday, this treasure is located in the mountains southeast of Jincheng, sandwiched between two lakes.

However, gold is born from the soil, but it can overcome wood, so the place where "Listening to the Rain" is buried should be a barren mountain without trees.In this way, the hiding place of this thing is ready to come out. "

Bai Xian said: "Then let's choose another day to go south and search for this place all the way. This place where the treasure is hidden has a strange terrain, so it shouldn't be difficult to find." Min San thought for a while, but said: "Wait a minute. Have the two of you ever thought about this" What could Tingyu be? Is it gold, silver and jewels? Or silk and satin? As a Khitan, I really don’t understand. How could my own people hide treasures here? Moreover, how could everyone in the Song Dynasty know about this Khitan treasure? , but the deity has never heard of it?"

Gongsun Jing said: "The leader has lived outside the Great Wall for a long time, so he may not have heard of it. In the past few decades, there has been a legend in the Song Dynasty called "Listening to the Wind and Listening to the Rain". "Listening to the Rain" is a rare treasure. If you get it, you will be richer than anyone in the world. If you get one, you will have no worries for the rest of your life; if you get "Listening to the Wind" and "Listening to the Rain", you will be able to compete in the Central Plains. As for where this listening to the wind and rain is hidden, decades ago, Ye Shi, the master of "Listening to the Wind", left a poem: "Listen to the wind, Xialing, the three sides are warm, and listening to the rain, the autumn pond, and June are cold."

Minsan said to himself: "Listen to Yuqiuchi and June's cold?" The two fell silent only if Minsan had a clue.Min San said again: "My father seems to have said this before his death." After thinking for a while, he said: "I remember it. Back then, my father promised me that when I was 20 years old, he would take me to the Song Dynasty to watch the rain. What is the rain? Why is it called this? Could it have a sound?"

Bai Xian clapped his hands and said, "I don't think the treasure we're looking for is actually the property of the leader! It's really an inanimate mother with a spirit! But leader, after finding the treasure, are you willing to part with it?"

Min Sandao: "Both of you, since 'Ting Yu' has a relationship with this deity, I will take you to look for it. But if you want to make money on the way, you have to watch over and help each other. When we find 'Ting Yu', Gongsun benefactor, you will You can buy a house to grow flowers without traveling around; Hall Master Bai, you can wash your hands in a golden basin and be an honest cook. Thinking about it this way, finding this treasure is really a blessing for the common people." Bai Xian immediately said: "Master Wise!" Min San waved his hand and said again: "As for the deity, I am just a practitioner. Money is something outside of the body, it doesn't matter if it belongs to both of you." Both of them were happy, and kowtowed to Min San repeatedly.

Although the map was not found, the three made some calculations and decided to set off southward in two days.Although Min San had made up his mind, he couldn't bear the beauty of Bayong Tower, so he went there the next day to bid farewell to the group of ministers.

As soon as Min San entered the gate, a burst of powder came over his face. A gentleman saw him and hurried to the upstairs and shouted: "The Holy Master Bailian is here!" Suddenly the stairs were booming, and many ministers rushed downstairs to worship and cheer. also.

Min San folded his palms one by one to return the salute, but he didn't see Lan Qing, feeling rather disappointed.At this time, seeing the wind blowing under Ling'er's feet from a distance, he rushed downstairs, knelt down in front of Min San, and kowtowed: "Disciple Ling'er, see the Holy Master!" Min San helped him up, and said softly: "Ling'er, please." Get up." Ling'er asked: "The lord is here, but you are going back to the Bayong Tower to preach?" Min San replied: "No. I am a traveler, and I want to travel around the world. Tomorrow, the venerable will go south. Today I come to say goodbye."

These words fell into Ling'er's ears like five thunderbolts, causing him to burst into tears, knelt down beside Min San's feet, and cried out: "Master! Ever since I met the Master, the Master and his disciples have been like a lamp in the sea of ​​suffering, leading me to gradually return to justice. The way, the leader is the ultimate truth in the world, the way to be good! The disciple wishes to follow the leader for the rest of his life, so he resigns from the landlord, asking the leader to allow the disciples to follow the leader, and protect the leader comprehensively!"

Ling'er said that while crying, she was out of breath and almost fainted.Minsan felt upset when he heard him crying, and he didn't want to take him with him, so he comforted him: "Sin, sin. Ling'er don't cry." While talking, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears with Ling'er until his crying slowed down , and said: "Ling'er is the master's disciple. If he follows the master to the south, who will spread the good fortune? Let's listen to the master's words. Ling'er has always had the root of wisdom. Staying in Jincheng to practice Zen and enlightenment will be beneficial and harmless The lifeless old mother saved the world, and it is necessary for disciples to spread it. If Ling'er preaches for the deity in Jincheng, it will be very beneficial for Ling'er to practice the road. At that time, we will meet again at that time, and we can explore the way of harmony between man and nature together. "

Ling'er said again: "But the leader..." As soon as he opened his mouth, tears dripped down again, then he bowed his head and remained silent.Min Sandao: "Although the deity is wandering in the world, if Ling'er asks for something, the deity is still in Ling'er's heart. If Ling'er encounters obstacles in his practice, he can pray to the lotus wooden tablet with you before, and the deity can perceive it. I will present this handkerchief to you as a sacred object of the deity." Ling'er was overwhelmed by the flattery, held the handkerchief tremblingly, and worshiped: "Thank you, Master! This disciple will definitely live up to the high expectations of the Master!"

Out of the Bayong Tower, Na Minsan hummed a tune and went to Bai Xian's house. Suddenly, the back of his ears felt itchy, so he stretched out his hand to scratch, and unintentionally glanced back, but saw a person not far away, hiding behind the shopkeeper. Behind him, the face was covered with a black cloth, and he wore a brown robe, which was the uniform of Yelu and his son.

Unexpectedly, Minsan turned his head suddenly, paused suddenly, and fled to the back alley.Min San also taught him that he was quite frightened. After half a year away from Liao Kingdom, he tasted the beauties of foreign countries and almost forgot about those two enemies. It turned out that when he was having a good time, the minions of those two servants had been following him like a shadow. There was a chill in his heart, and in this first month, he felt even more icy cold.

Only half of the man's body was exposed, so he couldn't see his figure clearly, and he didn't know if there were any accomplices nearby. Min San was afraid of being cheated, so he didn't chase him, but turned back to Bayong Tower, looking for Qi Zhen, and took him there. Yuan Wen said that Mr. Qi is suitable for penance, and redeemed himself with him. In fact, penance is false, but it is true to protect him with him.Min San brought Qi Zhen and was about to go back to Bai Xian, when he thought of Bai Xian, and then turned around to think about it, he broke out in a cold sweat.What was Min San surprised by?And listen next time.
