I want to live, get married

ten years ago noon

"Dear friends, thank you all for coming to the birthday banquet of the old Taoist. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the old Taoist and the lords are here to talk about the scriptures and the Tao. Today we will talk about what is the natural way. How to be quiet and calm..."

A hale and hearty old man with a white beard was sitting on a futon, chatting with the guests present.

All the listeners around listened with gusto.

A young girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a watery appearance, stood up secretly while no one was looking.

Not wanting to be seen by her senior brother Liu Feixu, she slipped along the wall and tiptoed out of the hall.

A young man grabbed the little girl and muttered in a low voice: "Junior Sister Yanhan, Daoist Master Qingchen is teaching scriptures, where are you going?"

Suddenly being blocked, Liu Yanhan rolled his eyes helplessly.

He slandered, senior brother is really lenient, you are willing to listen to a wave of old bull-nosed chatter here, what do you want me to do?

In desperation, she gritted her teeth and made an excuse at random.

"Uh... I, I, I have a stomachache. I'm going to a hut, and I'll be right back..." She said with a guilty smile.

"Oh..." Liu Feixu then let go of his hand dumbly.

When there was a gap, Liu Yanhan rubbed the soles of her feet with oil, and ran away in a hurry.

"call out……"

After running outside the main hall, Liu Yanhan let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally escaped from that boring place.

This time, she accompanied her senior brother Liu Feixu to the Baiyun Temple to the north, and was ordered to attend the birthday banquet of Taoist Master Qingchen.

My master, Hemei Medical Sage, not only studies medical skills, but also obsesses with nature, so as to explore the art of health preservation.

He often lectures on scriptures and Taoism with Taoist Qingchen, and the two have a very good personal relationship.

This time Daoist Qingchen held a birthday banquet, Hemei Medical Sage had refined health pills early in the morning, but it was a pity that there were so many things in the door that he couldn't get out.

So he entrusted Liu Ruoxu and Liu Yanhan to celebrate the birthday of Daoist Qingchen on his behalf, and also gave him a pill to show Master's fellowship.

Originally, after attending the birthday banquet, Liu Yanhan and his senior brother were going to go back to the teacher's school.

But this Daoist Qingchen is a warm and hospitable old man.

It is only said that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and there will be sacrificial activities in Guanzhong, and the altar will be opened to give lectures.

No matter what, I want to keep the two juniors, lingering in Baiyun Temple for a few days.

Today coincides with an auspicious day, Taoist priest Qingchen presided over a symposium, and believers and fellow Taoists from far and near gathered in the temple to listen to the Tao and discuss the Dharma.

But Liu Yanhan, a little girl, was mixed in with a group of bull-nosed and old-fashioned bosses, so she didn't fit in with them.

Those who know, almost, those, also, the way is natural, and people fall asleep after hearing it.

She was not very interested in the content of the seminar.

Why don't you just run away when you have time?

At this moment, everyone gathered in the back hall to listen to scriptures and discourses. Except for the occasional pilgrims who came to offer incense, there were almost no people in the front hall, which seemed very quiet and comfortable.

With nothing to do left and right, Liu Yanhan made fun of himself and wandered around in the temple.

The Dragon Boat Festival is almost approaching, and the wasteland in front of the Baiyun Temple is full of idle flowers and weeds.

Liu Yanhan strolled into the room, and suddenly a butterfly flew past her eyes, attracting her attention.

That butterfly, pure blue all over, looks really beautiful as it searches among the flowers and plants.

Looking at it, Liu Yanhan couldn't help itching, and wanted to catch this blue butterfly and enjoy it.

So he held his breath and tiptoed to follow the dancing butterfly.

When it stopped on the petals of a small wild flower, it approached quietly, stretched out its hands and swooped.

Unexpectedly, this blue butterfly seemed to have eyes on its back, its wings fluttered, and it flew away suddenly.

It made Liu Yanhan suddenly rush to nothing.

"Oh, what a pity, I told you to run away..." Liu Yanhan was very annoyed.

After all, she was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, innocent and playful.

Seeing the butterfly fly away, she still refused to give up. She followed the little blue butterfly and chased after it step by step.

Unexpectedly, this butterfly is very intelligent, and when it flicks left and right to catch it, it always catches nothing.

Unknowingly, the little blue butterfly flew up the stone steps and flew straight into the main hall of Baiyun Temple, and Liu Yanhan also chased after her.

Looking at the blue butterfly, it was running around in the hall without thinking, bumping into walls everywhere.

Liu Yanhan smiled and said: "Haha, let's see where you little thing is going after entering the house?"

Unexpectedly, the blue butterfly that entered the temple randomly flew to a cramped side room behind the god statue in the temple.

Yuanshi Tianzun is enshrined in the main hall of Baiyun Temple, and a large altar is set under the seat, with livestock wine and fruit incense wax on it.

At the moment, the hall is filled with incense and mist, but the disciples of the Guanzhong are all gathered in the back hall, listening to Taoist Master Qingchen's lectures, and there is no Taoist boy on duty in the hall at the moment.

Liu Yanhan followed behind, chasing after step by step.

Blue Butterfly couldn't find a way out, and finally landed in one place.

Holding her breath and concentrating, Liu Yanhan tiptoed close to this alert little creature.

Before she stretched out her hand, she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the front of the hall.

It seems that someone came to offer incense.

Liu Yanhan was afraid of disturbing people praying for blessings, so he stopped quickly, not daring to make any further movements.

All I could hear was a soft voice coming from outside the main hall: "Mother, what are we doing here today?"

The voice sounded very young, like the voice of a girl in her teens, but there was a trace of frailty and qi deficiency in the voice, as if she had been ill all year round.

A woman's voice replied: "Baby! This is the well-known blessed land of fairy mountains - Baiyun Temple. I brought you here today to pray for your safety. After entering the hall, remember not to be naughty, speak softly, and be pious." Be careful, don't disturb the gods, it will be a big deal if you blame it."

"Is there really a fairy living here?" the girl asked innocently.

Hearing this sentence, Liu Yanhan almost laughed out loud behind the statue, covering his mouth repeatedly so as not to reveal his secrets.

"Bah, bah, bah...", only to hear the woman spit again and again: "Children, don't talk nonsense..."

"Oh!" The girl shut up in embarrassment.

"Baby! Go in and worship for your mother. After a while, whatever your mother does, you can do what you do. Don't talk any more, do you understand?" the woman's voice commanded.

"Is this little girl called Baobao?" Hearing the woman keep calling "baby" long and short "baby", Liu Yanhan guessed that it should be the girl's baby name.

Listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter outside the hall, she was suddenly curious as to what kind of person the girl who could say such innocent words was.

So he hid secretly, found a gap behind the altar and looked out, thinking to see what happened.

It's a pity that it's a little far away, so I can't see clearly after all.

I could vaguely see a mother and daughter, accompanied by a maid, who should be from a wealthy family by looking at their clothes.

The three of them supported each other, with solemn expressions, and walked into the hall respectfully.

The elegantly dressed woman walked up to the seat of Yuanshi Tianzun's statue, and said to the maid beside her, "Xiaoyan, my offering."

"Yes, ma'am." The servant girl bowed slightly.

Lift the cover cloth on the carry-on basket, and deftly take out incense candles, fruits and vegetables and other offerings, arrange them neatly, and carefully offer them on the altar table under the seat of the idol.

"Baby, just follow what mother does, just follow suit." The lady took her daughter's hand with concern.

She carefully instructed: "My mother heard that the gods in the Baiyun Temple are very effective, you! You must be humble and sincere, do you understand? The gods will definitely bless you to be safe and happy, and live a long life."

The lady tidied up her clothes, and the maid beside her hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and knelt down on the futon in front of the hall.

The girl also followed the woman and did everything in a similar manner.

The woman clasped her hands together, looking pious, and she muttered something in her mouth: "The Immortal Monarch, please accept my disciple's worship...", saying to pay respects.

"The disciple has a little girl who has been weak since she was a child. The disciple worships here devoutly. I hope that the fairy will bless the little girl. From now on, she will be free from illness and disaster, and live her life in peace..."

"Wang Xianjun takes pity on my disciple, but as a parent, I can't give the child a healthy body. If my wish is fulfilled, I would like to shorten my life for ten years in exchange for my daughter's well-being..." The woman murmured something, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

After hearing this, the maid who was waiting beside her couldn't bear her wife's uttering of such a heavy oath, her eyes turned red, and she murmured: "Madam..."

Although the girl was young, she could feel her mother's sadness and timidity. She leaned close to the woman and called out timidly: "Mother..."

"Okay, baby..." The woman put away the sad expression on her face, touched the girl's little head, tried to smile and said: "Stop being coquettish, this is in the temple, it's not solemn, get up quickly... "

Liu Yanhan watched all this with bated breath behind the statue.

"Poor parents in the world..."

The woman licks the calf with deep affection, how can she not move the faces of the bystanders, Liu Yanhan is a little sad.

Then I thought about it, others were sincerely worshiping in the hall, but I secretly hid behind to watch the fun, I always felt a little bit unreasonable.

So, she left quietly through the side door at the back of the main hall.

Just as he closed the door behind him, he was caught straight.

"Ouch... I've caught an idler..."

Suddenly being grabbed by someone, Liu Yanhan was startled. She turned around and saw that it was the Taoist boy of Baiyun Temple——Ming Chan, who was standing behind her in a hurry.

"Woo..." Liu Yanhan patted his frightened heart, punched the little cow's nose, and said angrily: "The ghosts and ghosts appear and disappear in broad daylight, you want to scare people to death!"

Ming Chan covered her stomach, frowned and said: "Miss Liu, do me a favor..."

Seeing his anxious expression, Liu Yanhan asked puzzledly: "What's the matter? Are you busy?"

"Hmm..." Ming Chan nodded anxiously, "I am on duty in the lottery pavilion today, but yesterday I ate too much green dough, and now my stomach hurts, and I am in a hurry to go to the latrine. Stay in the signing pavilion for a while, and I will come as soon as I go.”

Said, turned around and ran.

Not wanting to be grabbed by Liu Yanhan, she repeatedly evaded and said: "Oh! Don't go! How can I undo the lottery? Isn't it embarrassing for you? Why do you have so many seniors? Go find them! "

"Oh... everyone, you are all listening to Master and his elders in the main hall now! There is no one in the audience, what can I do?" Ming Chan looked impatient.

Now, there are bursts of bowel sounds in his stomach, and the colic is getting worse.

"Miss Liu, please, please..." He bowed to Liu Yanhan and said, "Help me for a while, I have to go to the latrine, or it will be too late."

"Gulu..." As he spoke, his stomach let out another life-threatening growl.

"Ah...", Ming Chan couldn't help clamping his legs and covering his buttocks, he felt that he couldn't delay a moment.

So, no matter whether Liu Yanhan agreed or not, Sa Yazi ran away.

"Hey...don't run away!" Looking at the back of Ming Chan leaving, Liu Yanhan shouted loudly: "I won't release the lottery! What if someone comes?"

"There is a book in Jiezhi Pavilion, you can just read it." Ming Chan covered his butt all the way, ran towards the hut, and responded loudly.

"Isn't it a joke to release the visa according to Shunian? How can I do this?"

Maemi ran away, leaving Liu Yanhan with a dazed look on her face.

----

Since you promised others, you have to help.

Liu Yanhan bit the bullet, returned from the back door, and tiptoed to the side hall next to the main hall.

There is a lottery pavilion there, where pilgrims usually ask for lottery in the main hall, find someone to answer lottery and answer doubts, usually there are disciples of Baiyun Temple on duty.

Now, Ming Chan ran away in a hurry, and the Xiezhi Pavilion was empty.

Liu Yanhan looked around in the lottery pavilion, and found that it was a three-foot-square cubicle. There was a table and a chair in it, and it was already packed to the brim.

On the table in front of him was a book, with four large characters written in seal script...

"Hundred Solutions of Spiritual Signs", I think it is what Ming Chan said, and it is used to explain the book of signs according to the script.

Liu Yanhan flipped through it casually, and saw that the mountain of books was full of strange, tricky and treacherous talismans.

There are some densely packed small characters in the appendix, which are also written in a jerky, vague language.

"Good or bad: sign, house: uterus, allusion: Zhongli became enlightened, opened up the world and made a good relationship..." She flipped a page casually and read a sentence in a low voice, but found that she couldn't understand it at all.

"What is it all about!" Liu Yanhan couldn't help muttering, "This little bull's nose is too deceitful, how can I undo it! Still reading according to the book, isn't this deceitful?"

Anyway, she couldn't understand it, and she didn't want to embarrass herself, so she put down the "Spiritual Signs and Hundred Solutions" in her hand.

Fortunately, I will help out for a while, I only hope that Ming Chan will go to the latrine sooner, and during this period, no one will come to the door to release the lottery, and everything will be fine.

Thinking about it, Liu Yanhan sat down.

Later, she found a dustpan under the table, which contained some multicolored silk threads and some woven multicolored hand ropes.

I think it was the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Taoist temple compiled some objects to pray for Najib, and used it as a gift to the believers who came to worship.

It can be considered a timely thing!

With nothing to do, Liu Yanhan casually pulled out a few silk threads and began to weave colorful ropes.

The disciples of Xinyi Valley are very ingenious, and Liu Yanhan is a girl after all, so it is easy to make these small objects.

After a few clicks, it gradually took shape in her hand, and she tied the safety buckle to finish the colorful rope, and a delicate bracelet was completed.

At this moment, there was a sound of rustling footsteps outside the cubicle.

"Ma'am, the lottery pavilion is here..." A crisp girl's voice sounded outside and entered Liu Yanhan's ears.

She recognized this voice immediately, it was the little maid who accompanied the noble lady to burn incense in the hall just now.

"Oh! How did they come here?"

"Could it be to release the sign!"

"Ming Chan, why haven't you come back, you little bull nose! Did you fall into the latrine?"

"Don't!" Liu Yanhan's heart immediately sounded alarm bells, "I'm really afraid of something."

She quickly dropped the dustpan in her hand, straightened her figure, and dealt with the unexpected situation in front of her.

Sure enough, the sound of footsteps outside the small cubicle stopped in front of the signing pavilion.

"When, when, when..."

There was a light knock on the door in front of him.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" The maid's voice sounded outside the door.

Reluctantly, Liu Yanhan suppressed his voice, imitating the tone of Maing Chan's calf nose, and replied: "Who is here? What's the matter?"

The servant girl replied: "My wife came to worship in Guiguan today, and when she was offering incense in the main hall, she asked for a spiritual lotus. I hope the little priest can help us answer our questions and give us some pointers."

After finishing speaking, a wooden stick was handed in through the hollowed-out flower window of Jiezhang Pavilion.

Well! Sure enough, I was afraid of something.

There was no way to avoid it, no way to retreat, so Liu Yanhan could only pretend to be calm, and took the wooden stick over.

She took a closer look and saw some talismans drawn on the spirit stick in a fluttering pattern. It seemed that only the bull-nosed people in the Baiyun Temple could understand it.

Others just wanted to break their brains, but they didn't know what they were painting.

"This..." Liu Yanhan was in a dilemma for a while.

"Xiao Daoist, I'm sorry..." The servant girl said again outside the Xiezhi Pavilion.

In desperation, Liu Yanhan frantically flipped through the "Hundred Solutions to Spiritual Signs" on the case table, thinking about sharpening his gun before the battle, to see if he could find the corresponding explanation in the book.

But the more urgent and the more chaotic, the talisman script on the spiritual sign was difficult to identify, and the words on the book were also written densely, making it difficult to decipher.

After flipping through two pages in a panic, Liu Yanhan gave up completely.

If you look at this book and understand this spiritual sign clearly, you may have to wait until the year of the monkey.

Liu Yanhan can afford to wait, but the people waiting outside the door may not necessarily be able to.

So, she simply closed the release letter in front of her and started talking.

"Hmm..." She cleared her throat, pretended to be calm, and asked, "What are you asking for!"

At this time, the noble lady said: "Prince Xiaodao, I have a daughter who has been weak and sick since she was a child. Last winter, her old illness relapsed and she almost died young. She has been bedridden with illness for several months. She will recover her life..."

Speaking of this, the woman's voice choked up.

There are no parents in the world who don't worry about their children, Liu Yanhan's nose is also slightly sour when he hears this.

"I heard that Baiyun Temple is a blessed place in the fairy mountain. It responds to every request and is very effective. I came here to pray for my daughter to pray for blessings and auspiciousness."

"This spirit lotus is also for her. It's just that I'm a woman and I can't understand the meaning of it. I hope the little Taoist priest can give me some pointers."

"What's the fate of my little girl in the future?"

Having said that, the woman remained silent, waiting for the answer from the Taoist priest.

"..." Liu Yanhan paused, thinking about how to reply.

She remembered that just now in the main hall, when this madam offered incense, she was willing to shorten her life ten years for the sake of her daughter's well-being.

This kind of affectionate emotion moved Liu Yanhan very much, she couldn't help but think of her mother who died young, if she was still alive, she should love her so much!

Although she couldn't understand the meaning of the spiritual lotus in front of her at all, Liu Yanhan tried her best to comfort the poor mother in front of her.

"Madam, this spiritual lottery you got is the best lottery! It couldn't be better." Thus, Liu Yanhan began to make up things casually.

Hearing the answer from the Taoist leader, the lady was naturally overjoyed, and she asked excitedly: "Yes... is it! This is a good lottery? Then... how did you say it specifically?"

"This..." Under the woman's questioning, Liu Yanhan had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue writing down.

"The green grass grabs the clear spring, and the hardest thing to find is to find it. Unintentionally, I meet a confidant by chance, and when we meet, we go to the blue sky together..." Liu Yanhan mumbled a few explanations casually.

She explained: "It's clearly written on this sign! This sign means that life is like grabbing the ground to seek a spring. It is bound to be full of hardships at the beginning, but as long as you work hard to move forward, there will be times when danger turns into good luck..."

Liu Yanhan made it smoother and smoother, from hesitating at the beginning, to later he began to talk freely: "Your daughter is an auspicious person with her own destiny, and she will definitely get help from noble people in the future. You can live a long life and have no worries for the rest of your life.”

Some good words made the lady smile.

Say hello again and again.

The little maid also heard the explanation of "the green grass grabs the clear spring..." which coincided with her own lady's name.

"Yup……"

She slapped her hands in surprise, and hurriedly said to her wife: "Ma'am, isn't this explanation just for Miss? Don't worry! Our lady will live a long life."

At the end of the unraveling of the lottery, the woman bowed slightly outside the lottery pavilion, and said: "Thank you, the little Taoist priest gave me some advice today, and my master and servant will bid farewell."

After speaking, he got up and left with his maidservant.

After making up a lie, Liu Yanhan always felt a little guilty, and suddenly saw the colorful bracelets weaved in the dustpan, and subconsciously called them back.

"Two, wait a moment..."

The master and servant stopped, turned around and asked, "Xiao Daoist, what else is there?"

Liu Yanhan didn't speak, but picked out the multicolored bracelet that she had woven earlier from the dustpan, and handed it out through the gap in the carved window.

He simply replied: "Live a long life and live a lifetime of worry-free life."

The woman raised her hand to take the colorful bracelet, held it in the palm of her hand, and said softly: "Thank you."

Then, he left.

After the person left, Liu Yanhan breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, it was quite hard work making up nonsense in front of people.

After a while, Maemi pushed the door open and entered.

Seeing that the person finally came back, Liu Yanhan couldn't help complaining: "Why did you come back? I have been waiting here for a long time. If your master or other old people find that I am on duty for you, it will be bad."

"Ouch..." Ming Chan clutched her stomach, with a bitter face, "I'm sorry, Miss Liu, I can't help it! I almost suffocated me to death just now, what a mess in the latrine! Ouch... My legs!"

While talking, he thumped and squatted until his numb calf.

Liu Yanhan glanced helplessly at the little bull's nose, and said angrily: "I told you to be greedy and have diarrhea! I will ask my senior brother to prescribe you side medicine later, so as not to cause any trouble."

"Ouch...", Ming Chan was very grateful, and said again and again: "That's kind, please trouble the girl."

"By the way..." Liu Yanhan picked up the spiritual stick that the woman came to ask for a solution just now, handed it to Ming Chan, and then asked: "Please help me to see how this stick is? Is it a sign on the root? "

Ming Chan took it, only glanced at it, then frowned, "Tsk, tsk, tsk...", speechless, as if seeing something extraordinary.

Seeing the expression of the little bull nose, Liu Yanhan asked anxiously: "What... what's the matter, looking at you like this, what's so important, is it worth smashing it?"

"Alas...", Ming Chan sighed, shook his head, and said in a secret way: "This lottery! It can be said that the karma of the ancestors, the burden on the descendants, the dead tree without spring, the lonely boat meets the waves, the request is not answered, and the blessing is not good. Shoutout!"

"What... what!", Ming Chan's explanation made Liu Yanhan's heart sink.

She disagreed and said: "You just glanced at it casually, and didn't even look through the unsigned book. I'm afraid you read it wrong!"

"Oh...it can't be wrong..." Ming Chan waved his hand, and said disapprovingly: "The release letter is for novices, and I have worked in this release pavilion for two years anyway, so I am familiar with it." If you are familiar with the way, you can get eight hundred spiritual sticks if you don't have one thousand, so you can't go wrong."

"This is the worst way to make a lottery..." Ming Chan looked at the lottery again, and said: "Not only is the luck bad, but there is also a hint of danger. A sign of lifelessness!"

Liu Yanhan's face froze when he thought about the nonsense explanation he made just now, which was completely different from what Ming Chan said.

I was faintly worried and sympathized with the woman just now, and her young daughter.

Liu Yanhan never thought that this spiritual stick would be a murderous lottery. Thinking of it, she felt very uncomfortable.

After Ming Chan finished speaking, he asked, "Did someone come to untie the lottery just now? Who is so unlucky!" After speaking, he shook his head self-consciously, "I'm afraid even a god can't save this fate. "

"No... no one came to ask for an explanation..." Liu Yanhan smiled dryly, "I just can't understand these signatures, so I just asked casually."

"Oh! It's fine if you don't have one..." Mae Chan casually inserted the spirit stick back into the stick holder on the table, "It would be really unfortunate for anyone to get such a lottery."

Afterwards, Liu Yanhan left the Signature Pavilion.

It's just that my mood has become dull. Although I have never met the mother and daughter, I always feel faintly worried about them.

Walking around, I came to the main hall unconsciously.

Looking at the futon that the woman knelt down in the hall, Liu Yanhan silently walked over.

Looking up at the Yuanshi Tianzun enshrined in the center of the hall, she was suddenly blessed and knelt down on the futon there.

Liu Yanhan folded his palms together, and bowed to the ground devoutly in worship.

She murmured silently in her heart: "God is above me, my little girl uttered lies today, distorted the magic lottery, she didn't mean to deceive people, but something happened helplessly, I hope the gods can't be blamed..."

"It's just that the relationship between the mother and daughter today is very pitiful. I hope the gods will be merciful and merciful, and relieve the little girl's fate."

"My little girl is here to make a vow to the gods. In the future, she will definitely accumulate virtue and do good deeds, devote herself to practicing medicine, and help the world and save people."

In the end, she paid her respects in a solemn and dignified manner.

"Junior Sister...Junior Sister..." Liu Feixu's call came from outside the hall.

Liu Yanhan had been running away for too long, Liu Feixu noticed something, and came out to look for her in person.

Liu Yanhan didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly stood up.

"Oh... here we come." She responded while running outside the main hall.

There is only one golden statue of the god, sitting high on the cloud platform.

Overlook the suffering of all beings.

Origin and death...
