Seven days are very short and pass in the blink of an eye.

Seven days are also very long, long enough to change some status quo!

On the seven days, Zhang Zihua and scholars from the twelve counties of Yangzhou gathered in Qiantang City, and brought prostitutes to play, drink and write poems everywhere. The most common story in the brothels was the scene of Xu You discussing poetry with others. The ten poems, called "cross poems", also spread. These people could almost represent the Yangzhou literary world, and they all recommended them all, which immediately caused a huge sensation in all classes in Qiantang.

Xu You understood the reason and was a little distressed, saying, "Just because of this little thing, I can't go back if I have a home..."

"This little thing is something that others can't ask for," Zuo Qi smiled and said, "Let's go to the riots for a while and wait until the curfew to return to Jingyuan!"

"Yes!" Wu Shan's eyes were full of reverence and admiration. For those rough people, Xu You's reputation in the past seven days was like a miracle. He said: "It's better to look for a stranger first. Master Huang didn't know that those girls were like crazy, wandering around in front of the door every day. Yesterday I caught two people climbing the wall... I'm really afraid of falling down and ruining my body!"

Xu You sighed, "That's all!" He looked around and there was a clear stream next to it. Every ten meters above the stream, there were several curved stone bridges, and white walls and green tiles on the other side, and countless plum blossoms were poked out, colorful and beautiful.

"Hey, where is this?"

Li Mu is Qiantangtong and replied: "This place is called Luomei Lane. Because it is next to the plum forest of Zhan Sanlang's family, it will pass every time the flowering period will pass, and countless plum blossoms will scatter, so it is named!"

"It was Zhan Tian's house..."

It took a long time since I remembered the various things about Zhan. Xu You raised his hand and gently stroked the plum branch. He smelled the faint fragrance coming from his nose. The beautiful figure suddenly appeared in his mind. The road to the mountains is far away and the Jinling is thousands of miles away. I wonder if the beauty is safe?

At this moment, a half-old oil-cleaning truck slowly drove along the river bank, with the ruts pressing against the bluestone slabs. The squeaking sound was crisp and melodious. From time to time, low plum blossoms hit the carriage, and then swayed slightly.

Behind the car, a few drunk liars were chasing the ox cart and saying teasing words from time to time: "Girl Su, I heard that you can play the piano with a thousand dollars and drink with you with a thousand dollars. I wonder if it is true or false?"

"A song of piano and a glass of wine can make tens of millions of dollars into the bag. Girl Su, a good deal!"

"Yes, the Feng Niang from Zhou Feng's family only spends 200 yuan a night with Yeye. Are you so much more expensive than others?"

"Different, different! Zhou Feng can sleep with 100 people a day, but Girl Su may not be able to accompany one person for 100 days. It's expensive, so it's expensive here!"

"Ah, you know what you do..."

The more the liars spoke, the more they became more and more explicit. Zuo Qi whispered: "It seems to be Su Tang's car, why don't I go and drive those people away?"

Xu You shook her head. Everyone has their own way of living. Although he didn't know what happened, Su Tang was not in a hurry to drive away, and secondly, he didn't get off the car to scold the sluts, which showed that she didn't care about these rumors, at least she didn't take it to heart.

"In broad daylight, don't be afraid of these people causing trouble. Let's find a place to rest!"

Xu You, Zuo Qi and others turned sideways to pass by, and originally wanted to let the ox cart drive by. Unexpectedly, the car stopped in front of him with a squeak, and a white jade hand as white as snow poked out from the car window, climbed and folded the plum blossom that Xu You had just stroked, and then revealed Su Tang's pretty face, with a smile on his face, and said, "Langjun Xu!"

Xu You smiled and said, "Girl Su, are you so excited to come here to enjoy the plum blossoms?"

Su Tang shook her head slightly, her beautiful black eyebrows frowned into a curved arc, and said, "No! I am bored at home, so go out and relax."

"Okay, don't bother the girl anymore, just leave!"

Xu You was so sleepy that he wanted to find a bed to lie down and sleep. As soon as he turned around and wanted to leave, Su Tang put the plum blossoms in his hand to his nose and sniffed them gently. A little cunning appeared in his agile eyes, and said, "If I shouted, Xu Langjun, who wrote about the peach blossoms in his face, is here, I wonder what would happen?"

Xu You was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, "Girl, let me go! I was almost broken into the crowd just now at the Duan Family Bridge. I finally got out, but don't turn in again!"

Su Tang chuckled and said, "I thought you were never afraid. It turned out that you were always calm and annoying!"

This is because of grudges. Women really cannot offend them. Xu You laughed and said, "I am very timid, so please ask the girl to raise her hands and put it on the lower side!"

Su Tang chuckled, her youthful face reflected the plum blossoms that were swaying frost and snow, and she was indescribably beautiful and charming, saying, "Look at you, let's forget it this time. However, if you go back home, you have to be careful. There are so many beautiful girls around Jingyuan, but I have really been caught by others, but no one can save the husband!"

"Hey, if you can't get home, what can you do if you can't do it?"

Su Tang lowered his eyelids, his long eyelashes swayed gently, as if he was a little struggling, and a little shy. Finally, he made up his mind and blushed, saying, "If the husband doesn't bother, you can go back to Jingge with your daughter to stay for a few days, and wait for the Yingying and Yanyan in front of the door to disperse, and it's not too late to return home!"

"Mirror Pavilion?"

Su Tang raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "Why, if you have Jingyuan, can't the little girl have a mirror pavilion?"

She was too sensitive, always competing with the identity of a woman, competing with men, competing with the secular and ethics. Before Xu You could speak, several sluts followed. One of them was wearing a brocade robe and embroidered sachets on his waist. She looked better than ordinary people, but her eyes were dirty and obscene. She came to the car window and said with a smile: "Girl Su, have you started to attract customers in the street in such a hurry? Why don't you be good, let me be a guest of the curtain once, so money is easy to say!"

Su Tang had a cold face and didn't say anything. The servant driving the ox cart said anxiously: "My girl only makes friends with the sound of the piano, and her behavior is in accordance with etiquette. How can you do the things you think of? Leave quickly, otherwise we will report to the official!"

"Report to the official?" Everyone burst into laughter and said, "You are allowed to scratch your head and pose, aren't we allowed to say it?"

"The pose of the head is from "Book of the Later Han Dynasty? Biography of Li Gu", this gentleman has read books." Su Tang suddenly laughed and said, "It's good to read books, and it's not difficult to enter my mirror pavilion. Since the gentleman is full of talent, can he answer my question? If it's right, I'd like to play the piano song for my gentleman."

The man in the brocade robe was fascinated by Su Tang's giggle. With the soft and gentle flattery, he was suddenly overjoyed and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, you say, I read thousands of books, and no problem can be difficult!"

"Your husband, please listen to it: The boy wears a rosy orchid. Although he wears a rosy, how can I not know? He is so proud and droops. How can this poem be explained?"

"Yang Lan? Wearing the Mo? What kind of play is it? Gao Zi, swallowing a knife, walking on fire, looking for a banner..."

The sway, a kind of hanging ornament on the belt, made of animal bones, looks like sheep's horns, and is often worn by adults, and is homophoned with the opera. The man in the brocade robe listened to the opera and said, "I understand, it must be the little naughty boy who is competing to watch a girl named Yan Lan performing a hundred drama of devouring the sword..."

Su Tang laughed loudly, leaned on the window post and could hardly raise his head. Seeing that the beauty was amused, the man in brocade was proud and said, "It seems that I answered correctly. When will the girl Su play the piano for me?"

"This is the poem "Yan Lan in the Book of Songs, and it has nothing to do with the hundreds of plays that the husband likes to watch. As for how to interpret this poem, please go back and ask a real scholar for advice. I'm sorry I won't be with you!"

The man in brocade immediately knew that he had a big joke, looked ashamed, and had no face to pester, and left with others in shame. Xu You read the Book of Songs well and knew that the poem "Yang Lan" was a satirizing boy wearing adult clothes. He was childish but pretended to be mature, ambitious, overestimated and used in the current situation, which was really appropriate. He applauded and said, "If there is a storyteller, he should tell the girl the story of "Su's trick to get rid of the rogue", which would definitely be very popular."

Since the White Snake Legend has become popular, the storyteller industry has been continued. Some people are more business-minded and see the business opportunities. They write some ghost stories and go to teahouses and restaurants to tell stories. With the market popularity cultivated by the White Snake Legend, they have actually made a lot of money. So they follow the example. In recent months, more and more people have become a major feature and unique landscape in Qiantang County.

Su Tang held his chin with his hand and said, "It's not appropriate!"

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"This sentence alone will not attract attention. I would like to add a sentence in front: Xu Langjun watches the open flames across the river! It will definitely attract girls all over the city to spend money to listen to books."

Xu You laughed loudly and said, "Hangjun Xu watched the open fire across the river, and the girl Su made a trick to get rid of the rogue. I became the bad guy in the book, haha!

"Xu...Xu You? Come here, Xu Weizhi is here!"

Under the plum blossom tree, people came and went. I don’t know who recognized Xu You and shouted immediately. In the blink of an eye, there were 10 or 20 people gathered around the other side of the bridge and on both sides of the road, and more people ran over from a distance.

Su Tang smiled and said, "It seems that I will let me save my husband this time!"

What else could Xu You say? When he had no choice, he didn't feel embarrassed and bowed: "Then please give me a ride!"

"Get in the car!"

Xu You jumped up from the shaft of the car and ordered Zuo Qi and Wu Shan. Li Mu stopped the crowd first. The servant tied the reins, the green cow thrust the hooves, pulled the oil-clearing cart and ran over the stone slab, knocking down countless plum blossoms along the way, and soon ran away and disappeared in the distance.

Dade Temple.

The temple gate started to be noisy since the morning. Men, women, young and old people went to the lake to wait and see the scholars go down the mountain. From time to time, you can hear Xu You's name, peach blossoms, faint fragrance floating, and other poems. However, compared with the excitement outside the temple, the temple is deserted. Except for the construction of the four halls, four platforms and east-west halls, there are no traces of monks in other places. Most of them are locked in the meditation room in the backyard, chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha. The monks who work outside are also cautious in their words and actions, and come and go with their heads down, no longer as they used to be.

The courtyard, located at the deepest part of Dade Temple, was closed. Zhu Fayan's room was in seclusion and had not seen guests for seven days. Under the steps outside, Zhu Wulu, who was dressed in white, had been kneeling for seven days and seven nights and did not get up.

The knees were blue and the legs were swollen. The cold air slowly penetrated into the body from the ground, to the chest, abdomen, to the heart and lungs, but it was as painful as a knife. Both the body and the spirit could hardly hold on. However, Zhu Wulu maintained his kneeling position and did not move. His almost perfect face still had a nearly perfect indifference.

"Come in!"

Zhu Fayan's old voice finally rang out. Zhu Wulu slowly kowtowed his head with his hands and feet, and then struggled to stand up. His legs were soft and he fell to the ground.

It took him a quarter of an hour to get up from the ground again, and limped open the wooden door of the upper room. After entering, he knelt down and said respectfully: "Master!"

"What did you realize in these seven days?"

"That day I suddenly had evil thoughts in the Gao family because I had strange thoughts in my heart. Nothing is before all transformations, emptiness is the beginning of all actions, and people are stagnant, and they are stagnant in the absence of existence. If you rely on the original nothingness, then the strange thoughts will stop."

"What is nothing? What is empty?"

Zhu Wulu threw out his long sleeves, like a dragon soaring into the clouds, smashing the bottle of water next to him, and whispering: "The monk's robe is empty, and the broken bottle is nothing!"

Zhu Fayan chanted the Buddha's name and said, "Fortunately! Although you have defiled your human body, you have not defiled your Buddha's heart! Get up!"

Zhu Wulu stood up, took two steps forward, with a little sadness in his eyes, and said, "Master, Senior Brother Wujue..."

"You have cut off your evil karma without realization and have reached the Pure Land. You should let go!"
