Chapter 295 Gong Xian
Gong Daoren, I don't know his name, and his place of origin is unknown. Once I came to see the king of Lu, but the eunuch did not give me a notice. The Taoist took out 200 taels of gold and smiled and said, "I don't have to see the king of Lu. I just heard that the flower and wooden platform in the backyard of the royal palace is very beautiful. If you can see it a few times, my wish is enough."
The eunuch took the silver liang and brought the Taoist priest into the backyard. The two went up to the building to enjoy the scenery. The eunuch looked far away from the window. The Taoist priest stretched out his hand and pushed it on his back, but he felt that he was hanging outside the building, with a thin vine wrapped around his waist. Looking down, there is a cliff below, which is deep and bottomless. The thin vine made a click and crack sound, and the eunuch was terrled and couldn't help shouting loudly.
When the king of Lu heard the movement, he came out to check. Seeing that the eunuch was in danger, he immediately commanded his men and covered the ground with straw mats. The straw mat had just been laid, and the rope was broken. The eunuch's body fell to the ground. He looked at the place where he fell from the building was only one foot away from the ground.
King Lu knew that he was a Taoist priest who played tricks on ghosts and used magic tricks to tease eunuchs. He was also a little curious, so he sent someone to find the whereabouts of the Taoist priest. As soon as I inquired, I knew that the scholar lived in Shang Xiucai's house and invited him to the royal palace.
King Lu set up wine and entertained him. During the banquet, the Taoist priest said, "The husband of Weichen Caoye, I have nothing else to do. Thanks to the prince's wrong love, I would like to give a little method and present a few beautiful women to the prince's birthday. While talking, she put her hand into her sleeve, took out a beauty, put it on the ground, and ordered her to dance and perform the program in "Yochi Banquet".
Before a few, the Taoist priest took out another woman, who claimed to be the Queen Mother. In an instant, Dong Shuangcheng, Xu Feiqiong and other fairies jumped out of their sleeves one after another. Finally, it was the Weaver Girl's turn to appear and present a heavenly suit. The golden light is brilliant, and the room is full of brilliance. The king of Lu laughed and reached out for Tianyi. The Taoist priest shouted, "No."
King Lu didn't listen. He took Tianyi in his hand and played it repeatedly. It was really ingenious and magical. The Taoist priest looked unhappy and said, "I finally borrowed this heavenly clothes from the weaver girl. Now it is touched by the king and is tacky. How can I return it?" As he spoke, he put the heavenly clothes on the stove to light it, put it in his sleeves, and burned into a pile of ashes in a blink of an eye. But strangely, the sky is on fire, but the Taoist priest's sleeves are safe.
Lu Wang was happy and praised: "Good ability. Excuse me, Taoist priest, are these fairies real? Can Xiao Wang leave one or two and include them in the harem? The Taoist priest laughed and said, "Listen to me." The king of Lu was overjoyed. He stretched out his hands and hugged a fairy with the other hand. He stared at it. It was just a prostitute in the royal palace.
Since then, King Lu has more and more respect for the Taoist priest and left him to live in the royal palace. The Taoist priest said, "The poor Tao has always been unique. For me, the royal palace is nothing more than Fan's cage, not as free as the scholar's family." King Lu nodded and asked, "I heard that immortals are also good women, right?" The Taoist priest said, "Maybe, but I haven't reached the realm of immortals. The four monks are empty, and their hearts are like dead wood. For me, beauty is just red and pink skeletons." King Lu didn't believe it, so he secretly sent a prostitute to the Taoist priest's residence to test.
The Taoist priest closed his eyes and ignored it. The prostitute pushed him with her hand, and the Taoist priest snored loudly. He flicked his forehead with his nails, which was as hard as steel. He stabbed the Taoist priest's skin with a silver needle. The skin was as hard as a stone. Instead of piercing it, he broke several silver needles.
The Taoist priest has the art of flying and escaling to the earth. He lives in the scholar's house and often does not return in the middle of the night. Every time the scholar clearly locks the door, but the next day, when he gets up, the Taoist priest smiles and smiles in front of him.
The scholar is affectionate. He has a close relationship with the singer and prostitute Hui Ge, and they fall in love with each other. Brother Hui is talented. The king of Lu admires her fame and specially invites her to the royal palace, often accompanying her. Since then, Xiucai and Brother Hui have never met again. On this day, Xiucai missed the beautiful woman and said to the Taoist priest, "The Taoist priest often goes to the royal palace as a guest. Have you ever seen a woman named Brother Hui?"
The Taoist priest said, "I am familiar with the women in King Lu's mansion, but there are too many beautiful women in the royal palace. For a moment, I can't remember who Brother Hui is and what she looks like?" The scholar said it one by one. The Taoist priest said, "I remember, Miss Hui, I have indeed met her."
Xiucai said, "Is there any way for me to meet her?" The Taoist priest said, "It's easy, but I have to wrong you and get into the poor Taoist sleeve." While talking, he picked up the scholar's collar and stuffed him into his sleeve. The sleeves are spacious and bright, with tables, chairs, beds, pavilions and pavilions. The Taoist priest came to the royal palace and played chess with the prince. He saw Brother Hui from afar and waved his sleeve twice. Brother Hui was caught off guard and was immediately sucked into his sleeve.
In the sleeves, Xiucai and Brother Hui met again. They couldn't help but be happy and lingered with each other. They didn't feel that time flies. After that, Xiucai said, "Today's strange fate should be kept as a souvenir." He picked up the brush and wrote a poem on the wall, "The Houmen is like the sea for a long time. Who knows that Xiao Lang meets again." Brother Hui took the brush and continued, "The universe in the sleeve is really big. It's all tolerant." After the inscription, suddenly five men fell in mid-air, with octagonal hats and light red clothes. Without saying a word, they grabbed Brother Hui's arm and took her away.
A few years after, the Taoist priest left and went home, put the scholar out of his sleeve, and said with a smile, "You have done a good deed, not to mention the romantic and happy, how can you graffiti and scribble on the poor clothes?"
Xiucai blushed and said, "Where is this?" The Taoist priest rolled up his sleeves and saw several lines of fly heads on it, and the ink was not dry. It was a masterpiece of a scholar. He asked, "What's the explanation for this?" Xiucai said, "The Taoist priest forgives me. I won't dare to do it again next time." More than ten days later, Xiucai met Brother Hui twice under the mediation of a Taoist priest.
On this day, Brother Hui said to Xiucai, "In the past few days, my stomach has been shaken. I must be pregnant. If the prince is aware of it, the consequences will be unimaginable. Please discuss with the Taoist priest and ask him to help cover it." Xiucai agreed. In the evening, the Taoist priest returned home. The scholar couldn't afford to kneel down. The Taoist priest laughed and said, "I understand your intention. Don't worry, Brother Hui's flesh and blood in his belly is the only incense in your Shang family, and you will rely on him to pass on the family in the future. It's reasonable, and I can't ignore it. But you can't be in a hurry. You have to take your time."
When the scholar heard the words, he was relieved and thought, "Listen to the meaning of the Taoist priest, Brother Hui's belly seems to be a boy. It's just that the word 'only' is incomprehensible. Didn't my original wife give birth to a boy for me? Why do you have to count on Brother Hui to pass on the succession?
A few months later, the Taoist priest came in from the outside and took out a baby boy from his sleeve. The umbilical cord had not been cut. He smiled and said, "Son, I have brought it back to you. Take the clothes quickly. Don't freeze the little guy." According to his words, the scholar took it to baby and put it on the child. The Taoist priest took off his Taoist robe and sighed, "It is a taboo for the Taoist family to produce blood and splash clothes. This robe has been with me for 20 years, and I can't use it anymore. At present, it is a gift to the prince. This robe can cure dystocia and stillbirth. When using it, you only need to cut off a piece of cloth the size of copper money, burn it into ashes, and swallow it with water.
In the blink of an eye for several years, the Taoist priest said, "I'm going to die soon. After I die, you cut a piece of cloth from the Taoist robe and treasure it for your own use. As for the remaining Taoist robe, you can take it to save people. After saying that, I said goodbye and left.
The Taoist priest left the scholar's house and went to the royal palace to say goodbye to the king of Lu. He said, "I'm going to die. This is a fixed number. Don't force it." As soon as he finished speaking, he was stiff all over and lost his breath.
King Lu was so sad that he buried the Taoist priest.
After the death of the Taoist priest, Xiucai followed his teachings. Every time someone in the county had a difficult delivery, he took out a cloth for treatment, burned the ash and swallowed it for the patient. When the medicine was cured, he was not happy. Because there are too many pregnant women in the county, the cloth piece is in short supply, and it will soon run out, leaving only the last piece, which is specially reserved for its own use in case of emergency.
Soon after, the king of Lu fell in love with his concubine, and the dystocia lasted for three days. I heard that Xiucai is good at diagnosis and treatment, and he will be invited to the royal palace. Xiucai took out a piece of cloth and burned it, flushed the water and gave it to the princess to take it. He only took a sip, and the child was born smoothly.
King Lu was overjoyed and gave Xiucai a lot of gold, silver, silk and satin. The scholar didn't accept it and said, "If the prince has to thank me, please give me Brother Hui as a concubine." The king of Lu agreed. Not soon, Brother Hui came to the hall, and King Lu asked, "How old are you?" Brother Hui said, "It has been 14 years since I entered the house at the age of 18." King Lu nodded and said to Xiucai, "She is too old. Why don't you change her to a young one?" Don't worry, there are many beautiful women in the palace, and you can choose. Xiucai shook his head and said, "I just want Brother Hui." King Lu smiled and said, "Okay, as you wish."
The son of Brother Hui, named Xiusheng, Xiuzhe, Xiuye.
Later, Xiucai's original son grew up and died young, leaving only Xiusheng to continue the incense, which coincided with the Taoist priest's previous prediction.
Later, someone met the Taoist priest in Sichuan and told the king of Lu about this. The king of Lu did not believe it. He opened the Taoist priest's coffin and saw that it was empty. He thought that the Taoist priest had become an immortal.
