Lin Yeping looked up and saw a vague figure on the treetops.
When he saw this, he threw the broom away, ran to the tree, and shouted anxiously: "Girl, you are in danger in the tree, come down quickly."
Zixuan held the kite string and pretended not to hear Lin Yeping's shouts.
After a while, she said: "Hey, you have been staring at me for a long time. Do you know this is very rude?"
Lin Yeping couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then quickly turned sideways, feeling a little embarrassed.
However, at this moment, Zixuan broke the branch and fell from the tree.
"Ah, be careful." Lin Yeping couldn't care less and immediately reached out to pick up Zixuan.
Fortunately, Lin Yeping just caught Zixuan.
Lin Yeping put it down and wanted to say something to teach her, but Zixuan suddenly said: "Taoist Priest, are you concerned about me?"
After hearing this, Lin Yeping quickly pinched his Dharma fingers to calm his mind, and then said: "Anyone will care about a girl like this, even a poor Taoist."
Zixuan smiled and said: "Little Taoist Priest, I seemed to hear your heartbeat just now."
"I'm rude." Lin Yeping glanced at Zixuan, then bowed his head deeply.
Zixuan smiled and said: "The sound of the heartbeat, bang bang bang, is like playing a drum."
After that, Zixuan left.
Lin Yeping stood on the spot and recited the Jingxin Jue vigorously.
But he didn't expect that the Dharma fingers standing in front of him would tremble non-stop.
Lin Yeping reached out and grabbed it with his fingers, only to realize that the silk scarf he had picked up had not yet been returned to the girl.
So he chased outside, but he was almost at the door and didn't see the girl.
At this moment, the old disciple came in with a group of women.
After asking about the reason, Lin Yeping found out that the husband-in-law of these ladies had been deceived by a Miao woman, and now he stayed home all day long in the tavern. What's more, he said he wanted to divorce his wife.
"Taoist Priest, you must uphold justice for us. I think that witch must have cast a spell on our husband, otherwise how could they change their minds?" A woman cried.
Lin Yeping nodded and agreed to the matter.
In the afternoon, Lin Yeping came to the tavern that the women mentioned.
I happened to see a group of men sitting on stone benches outside the tavern, drinking and doing nothing.
When they saw Lin Yeping wearing Taoist robes, they also joked: "Why did a Taoist priest suddenly come? Is he here to collect yin and replenish yang? Haha!!!"
Lin Yeping frowned and was about to retort when a woman with outstanding figure wearing Miao silver jewelry walked out of the tavern.
This person is Zixuan.
Zixuan couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Lin Yeping, but she still calmly greeted the guests to drink.
When the guests saw Zixuan, they were like dogs seeing meat and bones. They surrounded her one by one, trying to get her drunk.
Lin Yeping saw this and walked over, wanting to strike up a conversation.
But who knows, Zixuan smiled and said: "We forgot that there is a Taoist priest here. Come on, let's fill it up for him."
Lin Yeping declined and said, "No, I don't drink."
"If you don't drink, what are you doing here?" Zixuan asked.
"Is it because of me?"
Lin Yeping shook his head and said: "Pindao is different from them. I dare to ask the girl if I can lend a step to speak."
Zixuan thought for a moment and nodded.
He took Lin Yeping into the tavern.
Zixuan poured a glass of wine and asked, "Tell me, what do you want to do today?"
Lin Yeping held a fly whisk and said: "Pindao hopes that the girl and the men here can cultivate their moral character and return to the right path as soon as possible."
Zixuan was not angry but smiled and said: "Taoist Master, are you mistaken? This is a tavern, a place where people can find happiness."
"The way to be happy should not be just drunkenness and dreaming."
"Pindao has been practicing Taoism since he was a child. The more he is immersed in it and the more he discovers its secrets, the happier he will feel." Lin Yeping argued.
Zixuan looked at Lin Yeping's smile when he said this, and couldn't help but feel pain in her heart. She suddenly stood up and said, "Why am I the only one in pain? Share your happiness with me."
Lin Yeping frowned and said: "Girl, happiness or unhappiness actually comes from a person's heart. As the saying goes, be simple and have few selfish desires. If a person is self-centered, he will lose his loving heart and put himself into trouble. How can you be happy if you are entangled in a circle?"
Zixuan asked: "Is practicing Taoism really that good? Is one life not enough?"
After hearing this, Lin Yeping finally realized that what he and Zixuan were talking about didn't seem to be the same thing. He thought they were talking about Taoism, but to her it seemed like a woman was quarreling with her husband?
Asking questions when you don't understand is Lin Yeping's good character, so he said: "I can't understand what the girl is saying more and more, so I still ask the girl to teach me."
Zixuan did not insist on this question, but asked: "Have you decided to practice Taoism all your life?"
Lin Yeping did not answer this question, but smiled and said: "For some reason, Pindao felt a sense of déjà vu when he saw the girl. Maybe it's not a coincidence that you and I met."
"Maybe, maybe it's true!" Zixuan looked at Lin Yeping and said.
Lin Yeping thought for a while and said, "Then I practice Taoism to save girls."
Zixuan stood up after hearing this and said: "The agreement between life and death is broad. Talk to Zicheng. Hold your hand..."
"I'll grow old together with you," Lin Yeping said.
Zixuan turned around to look at him in surprise and said, "Have you remembered everything?"
Lin Yeping looked at Zixuan blankly and said, "This is a famous line in the Book of Songs. I know a little about it."
Seeing this, Zixuan also gave up. She murmured: "Why am I the only one suffering and the only one who is infatuated?"
After that, she came outside the tavern and drank heavily with the men.
Lin Yeping couldn't see this, he stepped forward and took away Zixuan's wine glass.
Seeing this, Zixuan smiled and said: "Taoist Master, why is this? Is it because you are hungry and thirsty and want to try some wine?"
Lin Yeping shook his head and said: "Everyone, alcohol is poison to the intestines. Why should you be obsessed with it?"
"All of you are married and have children. You understand the love between men and women better than a poor man. The love between men and women is not easy at all. It requires more tolerance and consideration. Now you are abandoning your wife and children for the sake of Miss Zixuan's smile. , is it worth it? Go back!”
Just when Lin Yeping thought he could persuade them, unexpectedly, one person said: "Compared with them, Miss Zixuan, we are not stupid."
"That's right, Gungun, don't hinder our enjoyment here."
At this moment, Zixuan, who was silent, suddenly said: "Taoist Master, since you think that the problem is caused by me, I have a way to solve this problem."
Lin Yeping couldn't help but ask: "What can we do?"
"Marry me. If you marry me, I will be as single-minded as other women and will not drink outside." Zixuan said with a smile.
Lin Yeping couldn't stand her fiery eyes, so he lowered his head and said, "Thanks to Miss Zixuan's love, but Pindao is a monk. The precepts of the Tang Dynasty clearly stipulate that monks are not allowed to have a family."
"You can return to secular life." Zixuan replied.
"That's nonsense, you..." Lin Yeping said in shame and anger.
