I wish I were darkness, so I could fall into the arms of light
--Mu Xin
A painted boat sailed on the river, with extraordinary carved beams and painted pillars. After the boat arrived at the pier, a dozen people got off, and the one surrounded by them turned out to be an extremely beautiful Taoist nun. She looked to be in her twenties, and she was wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe.
, holding an ivory whisk, looking like a hibiscus, and graceful.
The crowd gathered around this beautiful Taoist nun and walked up to the private room on the third floor of the "Exalted Immortal Tower".
A young man with oily hair and pink face was diagonally across from Tang Li. He was joking with the girl next to him: "Cousin, what do you think I brought you this time?"
The girl looked expectant, clapped her hands and said, "Could it be the Rouge from Ningzhizhai that I miss so much?"
The young man laughed loudly, took out an jade bracelet from his arms, and shook it gently in front of the girl's eyes. The girl was extremely happy and said: "Cousin, how do you make such a precious thing?"
The young man gently put the bracelet on the girl's wrist, and took the opportunity to hold the girl's catkin with both hands. The girl struggled to break free twice, and allowed the young man to tease her as he pleased.
When the beautiful Taoist nun appeared, the young man immediately showed the face of a crazy bee and a butterfly. He stood up, straightened his clothes, left the girl beside him, pretended to be a celebrity, and went straight to the third floor.
Before it was time for tea, the young man was driven away by the Taoist nun's entourage and walked down in despair. The young man seemed as if nothing had happened, his expression was as usual, and he wanted to relive the good times with the girl. The girl was quite shrewd, with her eyebrows raised, pointing at him.
He opened his nose and yelled: "Su Xiangxu, you shameless bastard! You're in disgrace!" After saying that, he took off the bracelet, slapped it on the table, and left the restaurant without looking back.
Amid the roars of laughter from everyone, the young man with a gray-headed mouse-face walked downstairs.
…
Bai Fu had a look of disdain on his face. Tang Li spread his hands and shrugged, speechless at such a scumbag.
Suddenly, the two of them were patted on the shoulders. When they turned around, a young man with a mustache deliberately looked at them with a smile. It was the Fa Xiao that he had just read - Ding Dong, Ding Yuwei.
Ding Dong knows everything about Sichuan gossip and interesting things.
Tang Li asked: "What is the origin of that beautiful Taoist nun? I see that Governor Wen is also on the boat."
Ding Dong smiled and said: "Old Jiu, it seems that you have been studying hard behind closed doors recently. You don't even know the famous Fairy Xuanji?"
After saying that, he gently shook his golden fan, shook his head, and said: "Recently, a beautiful and unparalleled female Taoist priest came to the Miao Zhen Temple in the western suburbs of Chengdu. Her Buddhist name is Xuanji, and she is known as Xuanji Fairy. The famous scholars in Chengdu recognized her beauty and
Talents: His beauty captivates the country, he is fascinated by his thoughts, he likes reading and writing, and he is especially interested in chanting."
Fairy Xuanji has a good background. Although she comes from a poor family, she is very talented and thoughtful. She has been intelligent since childhood, loves to read, is particularly skilled in craftsmanship, and has complicated emotions.
Under the careful upbringing of her father, like all child prodigies, she could recite poetry at the age of five and compose poetry at the age of seven. She soon became famous and was praised by the locals: "Beautiful appearance, calm expression, dedicated to calligraphy, good at playing the piano."
", You Gong's Rhythm". When she was seven years old, she wrote the poem "Rose", which said: "The passage of time has not been settled, and my mind is in chaos." "Jiaque" is a homophony of "marrying". Her father thought this poem was ominous - she was born at a young age.
It is known that a woman who is about to be married is in a state of confusion and may become a delinquent woman when she grows up.
Such appearance and talent quickly alarmed the local officials. One day during the Spring Festival Gala, Mr. Wen Ge came to Xuanji's home because of her fame. He wanted to test her talent personally, so he asked the question based on the spring willows on the river bank. Xuanji briefly explained
I pondered and wrote a poem: "The green color extends to the deserted shore, and the smoke enters the distant building. Shadows cover the autumn water, and flowers fall to catch people's heads. The old roots hide fish holes, and the low branches are tied to guest boats. On a windy and rainy night, the dream is filled with sorrow.
.”
From then on, the ten-year-old Xuanji left an indelible impression on Mr. Wen Ge. When Xuanji was in his 28th year, Mr. Wen Ge persuaded Xuanji to become the concubine of Li Yi, the top scholar in the new science. Li Yi was talented and young.
He entered the Imperial Academy at a young age and had a promising future. Xuanji followed him and was considered to have married into a wealthy family.
Unexpectedly, Li Yi did not seek the approval of his wife when marrying a concubine. Instead, he secretly raised Xuanji elsewhere, hiding his beauty in a golden house.
Li Hanlin's wife is no ordinary person, but the daughter of the Wenxi Pei family. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Wenxi Pei family has been prosperous in the six dynasties and reached its peak in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It has produced dozens of prime ministers and ministers.
There are more than 600 generals whose official histories have been written and recorded, and no less than a thousand of them have been remembered for generations to come.
When Mrs. Pei found out about Xuanji's existence, she was furious. Xuanji was born in a poor family, how could she compete with a rich family?
Li Yi also relied on the support of his rich wife to win the first prize and get an official position. How could he stand up and fight against his wife's family?
Mrs. Pei roared like a lion in the east of the river, and Li Hanlin could only kowtow. He sent a divorce note to Xuanji: "There is a Taoist temple outside the city. You go and stay, and I will look for you later."
After entering the Taoist temple, Xuanji could only miss the heartbroken man with love poems:
"The maple leaves are thousands upon thousands, and the river bridges cover the evening sails. The heart of remembering the king is like the water of the West River, which flows eastward day and night without rest."
Don’t teach people to cry.”
…
But half a year later, Li Yi never came to visit her as promised. Xuanji couldn't bear it anymore and finally went out to inquire. Only then did she find out that Li Hanlin and his wife had moved thousands of miles away to Yangzhou to work as officials.
.
…
The lonely Taoist temple cannot lock away the fragrant years. Fairy Xuanji is gorgeous and extraordinary, but she is suppressed by all the rules and regulations in the Taoist temple. The spring flowers are withering, time is passing by, and the heart is lonely, empty and sighing, suffering.
One long and boring day, Fairy Xuanji went upstairs with her harp. When the moon was full in the west tower, she played one song after another under the lantern, exaggerating the sadness in her heart.
The depth of the sea in the human world is not even half as deep as lovesickness;
There is still an end to the sea water, and there is no limit to lovesickness.
Carrying the harp up to a high building, the building is full of moonlight;
Playing the love song, my strings suddenly broke.
…
After that, he suffered a serious illness. After recovering from the illness, he learned from the painful experience. Fairy Xuanji, a beauty in the world, was buried in Huameiwu and said goodbye to yesterday.
After that, she posted a notice on the door of her Taoist temple, "Xuanji Poetry and Prose is waiting to be taught", inviting talents and heroes from all over the world. For a time, her Taoist temple was full of celebrities and scribes from Chang'an. During the day, they were in the beautiful palace
Fairy Xuanji drank wine, drank tea, and discussed poetry in the company. At night, she would crawl on her voluptuous pomegranate skirt, sing and dance, and have fun. If anyone wins her favor, Fairy Xuanji will stay at a Taoist temple to spend the night together.
In those days of drunkenness and dreams, Fairy Xuanji squandered her youth, indulged in lust, and became a legendary topic in Chang'an City.
Burning incense on the jade altar, presenting simple gifts to the golden palace. The bright moon shines in the quiet gap, and the breeze opens the short skirt. Looking into the distance in the spring of Qi Mo, there are many springs in Yaohui. I am so diligent that I can't speak, and a pair of red tears flow. The clouds are depressed and they are fighting for the same dream, and they are immortals.
The beauty is long and fragrant and better than flowers.
…
At this time, Mr. Wen Ge returned from Luoyang to Chang'an to report on his work. Seeing Xuanji's absurdity, he expressed his disapproval of Xuanji after the early matchmaking.
I regretted it endlessly. I misjudged people and had good intentions, but ended up harming Xuanji.
When the night was as cool as water, Mr. Wen Ge sighed to the moon:
The incense of the jade stove and the tears of red wax illuminate the autumn thoughts in the painted hall. The eyebrows are green and thin, the clouds are left on the temples, and the quilt is cold when the night is long. The sycamore tree,
It rains in the middle of the night, which means separation from love and suffering. Every leaf, every sound, drips from the empty steps until dawn.
…
Later, Mr. Wen Ge was demoted to Chengdu and served as governor. Before leaving, he talked with Fairy Xuanji all night with good intentions.
Finally one day, Fairy Xuanji was tired of the life of revelry and extravagance in Chang'an, and at the invitation of Mr. Wen Ge, she escaped to the banks of Huanhua Creek in the western suburbs of Chengdu.
After Fairy Xuanji came to Sichuan, she quickly made friends with famous people in Bashu, talked about poetry and lyrics, and became a close friend. The name of her poems became more and more popular, and the poetry gatherings triggered by her became larger and larger.
She has been in Shu for half a year, and her reputation is known to everyone. The poet Changqing praised her as "a poet among women", and Bowu praised her as "majestic in appearance and poetic in spirit. She has been rare since Bao Zhao."
"Lun". A poem written by Master Jiaoyue said: "The goddess came to test her, and she wanted to dye her clothes with flowers. She couldn't find the Zen mind, and she returned home holding the old flowers."
After hearing this, Bai and Fu were both in awe. Especially after seeing the fairy's true appearance, they were even more intoxicated.
