205 Wanyu

There is a scholar in Hu Village, Taigu County, Shanxi Province, named Gu. He is a child of a family of a generation. His family education is very strict. He follows the rules since childhood and follows the Zhou rituals. He has never gone to do it alone.

One day, Gu Tuo heard someone knocking on the door outside the gate. He opened the door to look at it and saw an old monk wearing a ragged monk's robe, with his feet on his feet, his shoulders and a bag, holding a bowl and holding a bowl in his hand. He chanted, "Amitabha, I am so hungry that I am so anxious, so I ask the donor to give it up." He knew that the monk had already turned into a vegetarian food. On weekdays, he worshiped the Buddha devoutly and treated the monk well. He hurriedly brought the bowl into the kitchen, filled with food, and returned to the courtyard gate, respectfully said, "It is not appropriate outside the gate, please ask the master to enter the hall to use the vegetarian food." The monk thanked him and said, "I am not dressed in unclean clothes, and I am afraid that I will defile the hall and will not disturb you anymore." He held the bowl and swallowed it voraciously.

After the monk finished his meal, he put away his bowl and wanted to leave. Gu Tuo asked, "Where is Master? How dare you ask for the Dharma name?" The monk replied, "I am a monk from Xiyue Temple. His Dharma name is Zhishan, who has traveled here." After saying that, he wanted to say goodbye. Gu Tuo saw the old monk wearing rags and his shoes were exposed, so he felt sympathy. He took out a tael of silver from his pocket and gave it to him, saying, "Please sell new shoes and change them. Although the money is small, it is to express my intention." Zhishan took it over and thanked him, "Amitabha, thank you Mr. Gu." Gu Tuo was stunned and asked, "How can Master know my surname? Who told me?" Zhishan smiled and refused to answer, and turned around and left.

The autumn examination is approaching, and Gu Tuo wants to go to the provincial capital Taiyuan to take the exam. Taigu is close to Taiyuan and can be reached in three days on foot. He bid farewell to his parents and embarked on the road to taking the exam alone. This time he left home, he went alone without any reservations and restrictions, traveled alone, surfing the mountains and scenery, enjoying the beauty of the mountains and rivers, and walked happily.

It was dark when it was sunset, and Gu Tuo walked to Dongguan Town and stayed in an inn. He stayed in a room behind the shop. The waiter brought wine and food to the room. He lit the lamp and wanted to drink. At this time, a scroll was hung on the wall under the light, five feet long and about a foot and a half wide. It was a neat picture of a lady. The lady was beautiful, fairy-looking, beautiful, bright eyes, and smiled with a blush on her handheld basket, which made her heart beat. The book on the painting was: Gentle jade picking flowers. The lower one had not yet fallen, and I don’t know who did it. He stared for a long time and praised in his heart: The painting of beautiful women was hung in this room, which was really elegant.

Gu Tuo filled the wine and raised his glass to the beauty in the painting. He laughed and said, "I'm disturbing my wife to accompany me to drink, and toast him." He drank it all and said, "Thank you, Miss, toast me, toast him." He also said, "Thank you, Miss, to appreciate the wine, and toast him first." There was no one in the house, and the moonlight outside the house was bright. There was a beautiful woman in the painting. He raised his glass to invite the bright moon. How happy it was. He was forgetful, and sometimes sang long, drank bitterly, and sometimes turned light and thin, holding the hand of the beauty in the painting, teasing, "Wu Yu is as smart as she dares to come down to earth? Do you appreciate the moon with the young student?" He was already a little drunk, as if he saw the beauty smiling, and he became more and more pleasant.

Drinking and having fun until midnight, Gu Tuo was drunk and sleeping soundly on the table. He smelled the fragrance in the hazy place. Someone heard him holding his ears and said, "I'm here." He woke up and raised his head, raised his eyes to see a maid standing beside him, and he was the beauty in the painting! He was shocked and woke up, his soul was scattered, and his five colors were gone. He climbed under the table and said, "Who are you? Is it a monster?" The woman laughed and said, "You are like a beautiful man, who is like a dragon, and you like a dragon but not a dragon. I am a gentle jade. You call me here, but you are shocked, why?" He heard this, he was shocked and embarrassed, and wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide it. He knelt down and said, "You are rude just now, and you offended me, why are you here?" The woman replied, "Don't you

I am afraid, I have no evil intentions." After saying that, I passed away.

Gu Tuo was relieved and climbed out of the table. He felt that what he saw was like a dream. However, the fragrance remained in the room. Looking at the scroll again, the beauty in the painting still looked back and smiled, and her smile seemed to be a hint of teasing. Only then did he realize that what he had encountered was not a dream. He touched the picture but had no reaction. What was amazing? The scene just now made him confused. At this time, it was already dawn, so he carefully took off the painting and rolled it up, held it to the counter in front of the store, and wanted to invest in the purchase of this strange painting.

The shop owner saw it and laughed and said, "This painting was left by a monk who traveled to the monk. He was good at painting. When he left, he told me that three days later, a scholar named Gu stayed in the guest room of this shop. Please send this painting for free. I told me not to forget it. The young master came late last night, and I forgot it in a hurry. Now I asked the young master to take away the talisman." Gu Tuo asked, "This monk's Dharma name is Master Zhishan." The shop owner pointed his head and said, "This master Zhishan can paint this magical painting, and is a monk who is a monk who is determined to be the immortal.

This maid's painting became a treasure, and Gu Tuo couldn't put it down and carried the painting on his back. The next day, he stayed in the morning, closed the guest room door, hung the painting on the wall carefully, and did not dare to be careless anymore. He saluted respectfully to the girl in the painting, bowed and called Wanyu softly. When he lifted his head, he saw Wanyu floating down from the painting and stood in front of him. He smiled and returned the ceremony and said, "Why should you be so kind to you? The little girl pays homage to the young master, how can you be today?" He asked Wanyu to sit down, but there was no sign of horror last night.

After talking, Gu Tuo saw that Wan Yu was well-versed in poetry and calligraphy, and was a talented woman. So he recited poems and music. He recited any of the first sentences of the poems and lyrics. Wan Yu could follow the next sentence. He recited the first sentence of "Night Mooring on Maple Bridge": "The moon sets, crows cry and frost is everywhere in the sky." Wan Yu continued the next sentence: "The fishing fire in the river is facing sad sleep."

He recited the first sentence of "Jiangnan Spring": "Thousands of miles of orioles sing green and red." Wanyu immediately continued the next sentence: "Wine and flag wind in the mountains and rivers of the water village."...

After reciting poems and having fun until midnight, the two chatted and laughed, their eyebrows and eyes conveyed their emotions, and their voices were similar, getting closer to them, approaching the beauty, the fragrance was refreshing, Gu Tuo's spring heart was so refreshing, and he wanted to carry his daughter to bed and sleep with him. Wanyu politely refused, "Mr. Gu, before going to the exam, you should concentrate on studying, hoping for the golden list. When the young master succeeds, he will go to the bridal chamber and sleep at night. After the words are made, the little girl is waiting for him." After he said that, he shook his body and floated into the painting. He called again, Wanyu did not come out, but he had no choice but to put the painting in the scroll, go to bed and sleep in the painting.

It was dawn, and Gu Tuo stood up and continued his journey. He walked quickly for a day. When he was holding a lamp, he went to Taiyuan. He looked for a hotel to rest, closed the door of the guest room, and quickly hung the painting on the wall. After bowing, Wanyu took out the painting and fell lightly. He returned to the ceremony and said, "Young Master Gu, now you are in the provincial capital and want to enter the examination room. Do you know the autumn examination questions?" Gu Tuo was stunned and asked, "How can a young student know it? Could it be that the talented girl has already learned it, but I don't want to know the test questions before I was able to show my talent." Wanyu smiled and said, "Although the young master is outstanding in writing, there are many talented men going to take the exam now, and it is inevitable that he will be squeezed out of the list. If you know it, you will be well prepared." Gu Tuo said, "The talented girl is reasonable, please tell him."

Wanyu sat down, untied Gu Tuo's bag, took out the pen and ink paper, spread the paper on the table, and wrote on the paper: "The Laws of Merchants in the Early Tang Dynasty" and asked Gu Tuo to look at it, then folded the paper into small strips and put it in his arms. Gu Tuo saw it and asked: "The test questions are very confidential, how do you know in advance?" Wanyu smiled but did not answer, turned around and floated up, saying only one sentence: "Waiting for the good news of the young master." Then he entered the painting. Gu Tuo looked at Wanyu in the painting and saw the beautiful woman's eyes.

When he moved somewhere else, he hurriedly called softly and let him call him, Wanyu would never come out, and he had no choice but to do anything.

Gu Tuo prepared the test questions as shown in Wanyu, kept the answers in mind, and got it all right. He entered the examination room as scheduled and saw the questions in the test paper. As expected, he was the same as Wanyu's writing. He was very happy and answered it with his pen and wrote freely. After the test, he embarked on the journey back with his maid's paintings, and took them with him.

When Gu Tuo returned, his parents asked him how he could take the exam. He pointed his head and said, "Please rest assured that your parents will be welcomed."

Before going to bed at night every day, Gu Tuo always hangs the painting of a lady on the wall, looking at it in a daze, bowing and bowing, but Wanyu finally did not appear from the painting. He was afraid that his parents would find this painting, so they looked at it and hid the maid's painting.

A few days later, the good news came, and Gu Tuo was awarded the prize. The whole village celebrated and everyone was very happy. The villagers had a matchmaker, saying that there was a rich daughter from Dongguan Town, who was both talented and beautiful, and was a matchmaker with Gu Tuo's family. She was willing to be a matchmaker. After Gu Tuo's parents heard about it, they happily agreed. Gu Tuo had no interest in this. That night, he wanted to show the painting and told Wanyu, but who knew? The lady's painting disappeared and searched for it everywhere, but still failed. He did not dare to speak out, so he had to leave it to fate.

On the wedding night, he missed Wanyu and sat in the bridal chamber with a dullness, allowing the bride to cover a scarf for a night. The next morning, he went to the study room dejectedly, but his mother stopped him and asked the bride what he said, but he was speechless. The mother asked the maid to call the bride to cross the house to pay his respects. When the bride stepped on the door, Gu Tuo looked at it carefully and was shocked. He realized that the bride was Wanyu!

The bride's beauty is the same as Wan Yu, every move, every smile, every frown is the same! How strange? Gu Tuo stepped forward to hold hands. The bride was surprised. She didn't know why her husband suddenly became so close. She looked shy and looked back to her new house for the first time, and Gu Tuo followed her.

After the couple talked and talked, Gu Tuo asked about the past exams, but the bride knew nothing. He said to him: "I have never left home recently, and I have something to do. On the first day of the previous month, I went to the back of the room to pick flowers. Suddenly, an old monk passed by the flowers. The monk stared at me for a long time, and I avoided him. After returning home, I suddenly felt dizzy and was sleeping in bed. My family called me, but I still couldn't wake up. I suddenly felt someone touched my arms. I suddenly woke up and recovered from the illness. I took out a paper from my arms, and I didn't know who did it. The paper said: "The Laws of Merchants in the Early Tang Dynasty" was somehow?" So I took out a paper from the dowry table. Gu Tuo saw it and was just the test questions written by Wan Yu before the exam, which was strange!

Gu Tuo has explained it all, and this is all done by the immortal monk Zhishan. The next morning, someone knocked on the gate of the courtyard. Gu Tuo asked who was knocking outside the door? The servant reported that the person knocked on the door was an old monk. He heard that he suspected that Zhishan was coming, so he went out quickly. He saw an old monk outside the door carrying a picture scroll. It turned out to be Zhishan! He knelt down and hurriedly bowed, saying, "I don't know that the immortal master has come here, and the young student has not been able to welcome him. I forgive my guilt and forgive me." Zhishan said, "I heard that you have a new marriage, so I come to congratulate you. How good is it!" Gu Tuo was moved to the five inside and said, "This is all based on the arrangement of the immortal master. The young student is grateful. Please enter the hall to talk to him."

Zhishan wisely carried the painting on his back and laughed and said, "Everything in the world is determined by heaven. I am just following the will of heaven, which is not what I can do. The painting is returned to the original owner, please accept it." After saying that, he sent the lady's painting back. Gu Tuo took the scroll and was eager to see Wanyu and read it. Seeing that there was no painting, he was confused and wanted to ask why? However, Zhishan scattered and passed away, and he didn't know where to go.
