sick white moonlight

Dajue Temple, located in Yuntai Mountain in the western suburbs of the capital, is one of the three famous temples near Kyoto. Although the incense is not the most prosperous, there are indeed many monks with high reputations and high cultivation bases.Because it is located on a high peak and away from the crowds, there are fewer tourists than the other two temples. The environment in the temple is particularly quiet, and the collection of books is very rich. It also supports more poor scholars and has many residences for scholars who go to Beijing to catch up with the exam.

The price of goods in Kyoto is relatively high, and the houses are more luxurious.Hanwei's disciples have neither fame nor salary, and the daily expenses of living in the capital are already quite high. Naturally, buying a house is rare, and most of them rent a few houses and yards together to study hard together.Moreover, Kyoto is bustling and bustling, with constant night markets and feasting, making people linger and forget to return. It is really not a good place to prepare for the exam.

So three days ago, Xiao Lingyin came here after discussing with the old ghost on his body.

The Buddhist incense in the temple, the clouds and smoke curl up, and the birds chirp softly.

Xiao Lingyin got up early to get dressed, packed his bags, and read the diary written by that person yesterday. After understanding the current situation, he didn't take any books. Then I wandered alone to the back mountain in the temple.

The ancient temple is quiet, and there are many trees in the back mountain, green and verdant, like towering sky, separated by clouds.There are stone steps on all the trails in the back mountain, and the grass beside the steps is green, and squirrels are sometimes seen foraging among the branches and trees.He has thick and thick black hair at the temples, a tall figure, elegant and handsome face, high eyebrows, and a fledgling sharpness all over his body. Although he is wearing the most common white shirt of the scholar class, his appearance and behavior , generous, extraordinary bearing.

Obviously, this is a young, handsome, ambitious scholar with ideals and aspirations.

The road to the mountain is quite steep. Although it is a bit thrilling along the way, there are so many surprises, and you can't help but feel refreshed after tasting it carefully.When you get to the top of the mountain, look at the mountains, thin clouds and mist, covering the peaks, blue sky and sea of ​​clouds, just like a fairy palace.

But there is a pavilion built on the top of the mountain, with octagonal eaves, covered with light green glazed tiles, red painted columns, thick platform foundation, green plants and wild flowers planted beside it, just like that.

There are three people standing in the pavilion, one is dressed in white, and the rest are dressed in green and gray.The one in white is in the middle, the one in gray is on the left, and the one in green is on the right.

Only the back of the person in white was left, and the breeze in the mountains passed slowly, the loose clothes fluttered with the wind, his figure was handsome and thin, and his slender white wrist took a tube of Jasper Cave Xiao handed over by the respectful gray man beside him. , Qingbaiyurun, more lining white Bi flawless.Holding the Xiao in jade hands, a humming sound gradually rises. At the beginning, it is as low as an ancient well, deep and heavy, and then it flies up like a clear spring, tinkling and clear, from low to high, from slow to urgent, ups and downs, melodious melody, turning in the deep. But brisk, until the end, the Xiao sound gradually disappeared, and finally returned to silence.

Xiao Lingyin only stood in the distance and did not walk in, disturbing everyone.And stop at a distance, watch it attentively, listen to its chirping, savor its whistling sound, wait for the sound to fade away, and sigh inwardly.The Xiao sound was deep and mellow at the beginning, and then turned to a long and open-minded voice, during which the owner's pure and tranquil feelings are beyond words.

Looking from a distance, his rather thin body seems to be floating away, as if riding the wind.Like a cloud, compared with ordinary people, he is a bit more extraordinary.

Standing outside the pavilion, Xiao Lingyin looked up, but saw the thick ink splashed on the plaque, three handsome and extraordinary characters - Feiyun Pavilion.

After slowly walking into the pavilion, the gray-clothed man standing on the right looked over immediately. His face was yellowish and beardless, his eyes were long and narrow, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and a pair of sharp eyes stared at him. His face was full of caution and hesitation. He was wearing a gray robe. , with an ordinary face, but with a bit of contempt and arrogance.

Only after he said a few words to the white-clothed flute player in the middle with a respectful face, he became a little unhappy and regained his stability.The man in Tsing Yi on the left side of the white coat turned around and walked towards him. This man's face was also quite good, his complexion was pale, his eyebrows were high and broad, steady and light, and he was full of openness and at the same time, with a bit of Chic and romantic.

He spoke with the charm of a romantic and talented scholar, only to hear him walk in, and then said: "This brother, is he also temporarily living in a Buddhist temple to prepare for the spring? He is in Suzhou, Shen Fei, and his name is Hanshan. The person in the pavilion is from the capital, surnamed He, surnamed An, styled Mingzhang. Like the two of us, we temporarily live in a Buddhist temple. It was a coincidence that the three of us ran into each other while climbing the mountain at the same time in the early morning.”

"Xiao Lingyin in Liuzhou, Xiachuan, alias Ziyu, is preparing for the exam at the Buddhist temple just like you." Xiao Lingyin said softly upon hearing the words.

"Liuzhou, it is said that the scenery of Shu is amazing, but unfortunately I have never been there!" Shen Fei sighed, walked a few steps, shook his clothes again, and then sighed.

"Three Wonders of Suzhou, I have been famous for a long time, but I have never been there."

"Pfft!" Shen Fei was amused when he heard that the handsome and dignified scholar in front of him imitated what he said.

"Brother Ziyu, your words are really interesting."

"Brother Hanshan is also a sweetheart, very interesting."

"Brother He, you should turn around and take a look, this new brother is really a wonderful person." Shen Fei said with a smile.

Xiao Lingyin just laughed, but he was a little uneasy for no reason. Usually, he was not so willing to tease people. His teachers and friends all praised him for being precocious and steady, but he was a bit bored and didn't like to talk. Let him learn to be more tactful.

Today, I don't know what's going on, and I said a lot of words without knowing it, and it was a lot of fun.

Although his face was calm, neither humble nor overbearing, he was staring at the man in white out of the corner of his eyes. It has to be said that he was already amazed by the singing before, and wanted to get acquainted.

It's just that the man in white didn't turn around immediately, he only heard a soft and elegant, but somewhat joking tone.

"Mr. Hanshan said so, I want to see it."

After entering the pavilion, the vision became clearer.The man in white had nothing else on his body, only layers of white clothes covered his body in an orderly manner, with a high bun, black hair reaching his waist, smooth and black, and a slightly slim figure. Tall, but with a bit of frailty, he has added an amiable attitude throughout his life.

The man turned around and looked, his face was clean and elegant, his brows were lightly frowned, his eyes were slender and bright like stars, his red lips were slightly exposed, but there was a faint smile on his face, his whole body was extraordinary, like a fairy .

Xiao Lingyin impulsively said: "I've never seen someone like Xiongtai before."

He An was taken aback when he heard the words, frowned slightly, and didn't say much, but just looked at the scholar who he had met at the night market that day and had a conversation with him.

After hearing this, Shen Fei covered his sleeves and smiled, and said: "Brother Ziyu, we are really destined."

"Do you know what I said when I first entered the pavilion and met Brother Mingzhang?"

Shen Fei patted Xiao Lingyin's shoulder, and sighed, "I really don't know where the gods came from, but they came here for a visit. Let me, a pedantic scholar, see you, and I'm lucky to swim with you."

The two looked at each other, felt the same way, and couldn't help but smile.

There is a stone table and four stone benches in the small pavilion, which have been wiped clean and spotless.

The three of them sat on the stone pier, first discussing the scenery in the mountains, and then each wrote three poems, each commenting on one or two.When he was a little tired, He An asked the guard beside him to pour a cup of tea and some snacks for the two of them.

Shen Fei and Xiao Lingyin just refused, but He An just smiled and said nothing.

The other two saw the respectful gray-clothed man take out an exquisite wooden box from the bag he had brought up the mountain. The lid of the wooden box was carved with a picture of mountain scenery, with ancient wooden coils on it, one or two pavilions, exquisitely carved meticulous.

Open the wooden box and put it on the table, but you can see four compartments, among which fresh fruits and sugar cakes are neatly arranged, which looks pleasing to the eye.

He An then said that climbing the mountain was exhausting and exhausting, so he must be a little hungry, so he asked the two of them to try pastries.

Shen Fei is a generous person. After hearing what he said, he stopped being polite. After he hurriedly thanked him, he took a piece of white and delicate sugar cake and put it in his mouth. It was as soft as sand and moderately sweet. Knowing that it is ground from the best japonica rice and glutinous rice, with a little sweet-scented osmanthus added, the porcelain white is slightly yellowish, and it has a moist and thick feeling.

"Brother Mingzhang, this is the Guanghan Cake that is popular in the capital now! It's a piece of good luck." Shen Fei sighed after taking a sip.

Guanghan Cake is a new type of sugar cake that is popular in Beijing recently. Scholars taste it a lot.

Xiao Lingyin's stomach was also somewhat empty, so he also took a piece of blackish brown sugar cake with his own hands. There were faint patterns on the cake, he took a bite, the apricot flesh was sweet and sour, and he took another bite, crushed melon kernels, white plums The walnut meat is mixed in, but it is not cloudy at all. It tastes sweet, and the cake is soft and greasy. Once you taste it, you can tell that it is made by a top-notch pastry chef.

He has never eaten this kind of candy cake, but he also knows that the materials are rich, the workmanship is exquisite, and even the patterns on the candy cake are complicated and unique, it is definitely not the daily food of ordinary people, and this man in white, although the clothes are ordinary, but that The material of the clothes is delicate and made of high-quality Luo Juan Ruo, and the corners and tails of the clothes are embroidered with light silver moiré patterns, which are indistinct, if you don't look closely, it is not easy to see.

This family must be rich and powerful, if it is not a high-ranking official or aristocrat, it must be a luxurious family.

Xiao Lingyin only heard Shen Fei smile and said, "Thank you dear brother for your hospitality. I have sailed all the way from Suzhou to the capital. I am not familiar with the place, but I haven't eaten such delicious cakes for a long time."

Seeing that He An was clean and indifferent, Shen Fei didn't say much, and said: "One day in the future, my dear brother will come to Suzhou for fun, and he must entertain you well. The fool's family is also easy to know. If you ask in Suzhou city, the Shen family in the middle of the mountain is gone."

When it comes to this, Xiao Lingyin is a bit clueless. He was orphaned when he was young, and he grew up in the head of the head clan. Although he didn't receive much care, his food and clothing expenses were not reduced according to the clan's regulations. Didn't enjoy too much either.

When he was young, he relied on ethnology. He was diligent and hardworking, and the local scholar Xu Daoyuan, who was acquainted with his grandfather, came to visit his home. Received as a closed disciple.

In the mid-levels of Suzhou, he heard from his teacher that they are all luxurious and luxurious places to live in. The mansions are spacious and close to the West Lake, and the land prices are high. This brother Shen must also be born in a wealthy family with extraordinary knowledge.

He then said: "Foolish parents died early, fortunately there is a mentor to take care of him, and family support, that's why he came to the capital to take the exam..."

"Seeing that you are full of demeanor, you are not like ordinary people, your lyrics are unrestrained and vast, and you have the air of a sage, which makes me, a person with little knowledge, quite ashamed." Before he finished speaking, Shen Fei sighed: "I never thought of Brother Ziyu... ..."

"Yu is here to wish you high school next year in advance." He sighed and asked, "I don't know which wise teacher cultivated a scholar like you."

Xiao Lingyin paused for a moment before replying, "My teacher's surname is Xu, his name is Daoyuan, and his name is..."

"Isn't the word Hengshan!" Shen Fei laughed loudly when he heard it, "It turns out that my dear brother is Mr. Hengshan's high-achieving student. I am a fool in Suzhou. I have read Mr. Hengshan's masterpiece for a long time, and I am deeply impressed. Today, I am very lucky. It is possible to get to know the two within a day."

He got up, sighed at first, then smiled humorously, "The word for foolishness contains the word for mountain, and the word for mountain was specially asked for by me."

"Mr. Hengshan is indeed my favorite gentleman when I was studying. If my family didn't hold me back, I would have gone to Shu a long time ago just to see him."

"Brother Ziyu, I dare to ask Mr. Hengshan if his body is as healthy as before. Yu recently read his poems and prose, and I only admire him, but I am also quite worried."

His mentor Xu Daoyuan refused to accept his official position in the court because he repeatedly claimed to be sick, and most people in the world thought he was weak and sick.

Xiao Lingyin couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and said: "Men has always been in good health, planted more trees at home, tended flowers and plants in his spare time, and never had any serious illness."

"That's good, that's good!" Shen Fei said with peace of mind after hearing this.
