Mirror of the Sky

The screams of the two little servants and maids were blown away by the breeze and scattered in the air. Except for their own voices, they couldn't even hear each other's shouts, but they could clearly hear a few Zhang Huansheng's soft voice made him look at each other in amazement, and closed his mouth tremblingly.

Seeing that they were no longer shouting, Zhang Huansheng dispersed to dispel the wind, walked into the pavilion, sat down, and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"

At this time, the little servant and the maid saw Zhang Huansheng's shadow under the moon, and heard him say a few words in succession. Their fear slowly dissipated, and they returned to their original smart appearance. Zhang Huansheng replied respectfully, "Gentleman, the kitchen of the official post is open every 12 hours, and you can eat at any time.

It's just steamed vegetables, and the taste is quite ordinary, to be honest, you have to buy them outside if you want to eat them. "

When Zhang Huansheng heard the words, he first pointed to the servant boy, then pointed to the maid and said, "I remember that one of you is named Chu Fu, and the other is named Chu Xi."

He got another dry answer, "A gentleman has a good memory." After that, he took out a few silver beads from his arms and handed them to the servant: "Chu Fu, go to the restaurant outside and buy me some famous ones in Xiongjing. big dish.

Chu Xi, go to the official kitchen and bring me some food and soup. You should share the rest of the money. "

Although most of the money on his body was used to redeem the slaves, there were only a few gold beads and a handful of silver beads left, but Zhang Huansheng's arrogance and style had not changed.

But after Chu Fu took the silver beads, there was an embarrassed look on his face, and he said in a low voice, "Gentleman, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy even a big dish in the restaurants in the three inner cities.

If you go to an outer city to buy it, and you go back and forth, the food will be cold, so don't blame it. "

Hearing this, Zhang Huansheng couldn't help but be taken aback and blurted out: "Is this inner city so expensive? It's really not easy to live in the capital." After a while, he shook his head and took it out of his arms. A gold bead was handed to Chu Fu, "This is enough, go and buy it, the rest of the money will be shared by you as usual."

"Yes." Chu Fu took Jin Zhu with joyful eyes, bowed deeply to Zhang Huansheng, and left the courtyard together with Chu Xi.

3. After the two cups of tea, when the two of them came back, they brought a plate full of delicious food and placed it in front of Zhang Huansheng.

Just like that, Zhang Huansheng, accompanied by Qingfeng and Mingyue, had a big meal. After he was full, he washed up and returned to the small building.

It was late at night, everything was silent, and it was pitch black everywhere.

Zhang Huansheng sat cross-legged on the bed, calmed his mind, clasped his hands together, and formed a dharma seal. In an instant, he felt the heat of the door, and his soul had left his body. He had escaped thousands of miles along the earth's veins and water, and arrived on an overseas island. , incarnated in the shape of a dragon and an elephant.

After that, the dragon and the elephant were separated. The white elephant rushed straight into the depths of the island, but the Xuanlong did not dive into the sea, playing among the shallow beaches, looking very uncomfortable.

After a while, as Zhang Huansheng's practice in Xiongjing Guanyi gradually improved, there were infinite wonderful signs that grew out of the dragon and elephant's moving and still postures, and there were bursts of wonderful sounds from his mouth. The chanting came out, and suddenly attracted countless rare birds and beasts who observed the Dharma.

The birds and beasts who participated in the Dharma practice on the island naturally respected Hanuman, who had been accepted as a servant by Zhang Huansheng.

I saw the monkey accompanying the white elephant, running and jumping with it, imitating the roar of the elephant in its mouth, and behind it was a golden pheasant with a long feather and nine colors, swinging from time to time. Feather, the cool breeze blows out, like a rogue waving a flag and hitting a fan.

However, the fish, shrimp, and sea beasts that comprehend the Dharma in the sea are respected by a strange fish that looks like an upside-down disc and is several tens of meters in length.

Hearing the beauty, the round fish's soft and boneless body swung, and waves appeared in the shaking shallow sea. Even on the tired shore, there were clouds floating for no reason, and the sound of wind and thunder could be faintly heard.

Zhang Huansheng's practice of "Dragon Elephant Fundamental Sutra" has become pure, and he has long been able to perceive the various scenes experienced in the evolution of the primordial spirit. He is no stranger to the land beasts and sea clan who showed their miraculous images when listening to the Fa. Concentrate on cultivating your own Fa, and spend the night there.

He got up early in the morning, and after having breakfast, he began to stretch out his hands and kick his feet in the yard to practice "Eight Nine Mysteries".

After dawn on the third day, Chu Fu finally told Zhang Xuansheng in a proper manner that someone from Dali Temple had summoned him and led the way, leading him to the back hall of the official post.

At this time, more than a dozen people had gathered in the hall with the green brick wall and the square stone paved floor, and the three old men were the leaders.

They were sitting in the middle of the lobby, and sitting on the chair of the grand master was a thin old man wearing a red official robe, with three long beards, eyes like black jade, and a grim look on his face.

On the right hand of the thin old man was a man dressed in a robe and a Taoist crown, with no trace of sadness or joy on his face, and the old man sitting on the left hand of the thin old man, his face like a crown of jade, looking at both the wealth and honor of an aristocratic family official, and the ability to read books. An old man in brocade with a gentle spirit.

The three of them had different expressions when they saw Zhang Huansheng entering the door. The thin old man in the main seat just stared blankly and didn't make a sound, and the old man just had a flash of light in his eyes and looked up and down. After a few glances at Zhang Haas, he returned to his original calm expression.

Only the old man in Jinpao frowned slightly and said to the thin old man on the top, "Lord Lu, there was a plague in the southwest last night, and I still have a lot of political affairs to deal with.

Since people are here, let's start early. "

Hearing this, the thin old man nodded silently, coughed lightly, turned his eyes to Zhang Huansheng and said, "Young man, I am Lu Wuning, the chief minister of the Dali Temple of the Great Chu court, and I have been ordered by the emperor to consult and testify about your past experience. .

After a while, when you answer, you must not deceive a sentence, otherwise you will commit the crime of deceitful deceit, and if you say no, it will be revealed to the law, do you know? "

"Boy knows," Zhang Haisheng bowed his hands when he heard the words, and answered in a proper manner, "I must answer truthfully."

"This is the best." Lu Wuning said in a solemn voice, "Young man, do you still remember your origin?"

"Since he was sensible, he grew up in a deserted island, surrounded by monks, and he is also a novice. Every day from morning to night, he chops wood, draws water, recites scriptures, and meditates. I really don't remember where I came from. I never thought about the origin." Zhang Yuansheng sighed and replied softly.

"Then how did you escape from the island?" Lu Wuning asked again calmly.

"Actually, I don't remember very well," Zhang Huansheng replied with a wry smile, "I just remember that I was sleeping that night, when suddenly the temple was in chaos, and the monks were all running around, and I didn't understand anything. Just follow the same pattern and run around.

For some reason, he ran outside the temple and was caught by a bearded general. He left the island by boat and came to Nanyang Mansion in Yinhai County, Xu Kingdom. "
