Leshan, also known as Jiazhou, is known as the "Begonia Fragrance Country". After Li Bai left Chengdu, he rushed out of Sichuan City and did not care much about seeing the scenery around him. He just wanted to use the sword to speed up, save the people from dire straits, and eliminate the man-eating monster.

In mid-March, the spring is warm and the snow is gone, and the weather is no longer cold. Li Bai rode fast and arrived at the Leshan territory in four days. After the next day, he could climb up the mountain and go to Wenfu Temple.

Li Bai first found a good inn to rest, changed into clean clothes, and took a sip of tea. Then he went out and planned to go around and find out about the human-eating monster.

From the end of the hour to the beginning of the hour of the hour, Li Bai heard a lot and found that it was almost the same as what Hou Gui said. They all said that this monster was so powerful. He also said that this monster was a fish spirit, and usually hid under the water without seeing any figure. But as soon as the night of the 24th day of the month came, he would come out to cause trouble in the world and harm the people.

Li Bai calculated the sun. It happened that in two days it was March 24th, and then this monster would be apart from this monster. However, Li Bai was still a little uneasy, afraid that he would not be able to deal with this monster with his own strength. He regretted that day that Wu Zhuannan, Siguo and Wugui went to see the sword weapon dance, which delayed the business. But Li Bai also knew that Hou Gui was useless, so he had to hope that Hou Gui could find them quickly and come to help.

After eating some food in a small winery, the sun has set in the west, the hour of Xu has arrived and it is dark. On the streets and alleys, the crowds have begun to disperse, vendors are busy packing their things, and they are closing doors and windows from door to door.

This scene is not the first time Li Bai has seen it. He has been curfewed because of Shang Tang's Dharma Precepts. Since the night is dark, all the people should not go out, otherwise the war will be fought at the worst, and the worst will be executed, no matter who it is.

Once, a prince's son started to be crazy because he drank a little more alcohol, and he couldn't stop him from making trouble everywhere. As he was playing, he left the house and went crazy on the street, and happened to meet Ye Shuai who was patrolling the night.

Ye Shoucai saw that he was, and he rushed over and beat him up. After the beating, he woke up with a bucket of water, and then asked who the prince’s son was, why did he come out, why he violated the precepts, etc. and other questions.

The prince's son's nature has not yet disappeared. When he heard that these Ye Shou did not know him, he immediately cursed at them, which was extremely unpleasant. And these Ye Shou actually knew the prince's son, but no matter how he knew, everything had to follow the rules, so he had to ask who he was, wait.

Originally, Ye Shuu didn't plan to make things difficult for him, thinking about just teaching a lesson to fill the scene. But as soon as he heard his big scolding, Ye Shuu became angry and beat him up without saying a word.

After being beaten up, he woke up from alcohol. But out of instinct, the first thing he did when he woke up was to run away, find the right gap and jump into the river next to him, and run away.

Before he jumped, he also said a harsh word to these Ye Shou, saying, "You wait for me, my father is who, you are dead, wait."

As a result, when he came back from the river, he suddenly realized that he had been confiscated! Before the prince's son could react, he suddenly "swallowed" and jumped out with a big knife in his hand, and took him down in a few seconds.

If you say the same thing, no one is a fool. The prince’s son didn’t say that, but he didn’t plan to make trouble for him. If you want to run away, let us run away. This is not the case. If you commit a curfew, just forget it.

But once he said that it was broken, a few Ye Shuo ran to the prince's mortal enemy and another prince to tell him about it. When he heard it, he was so happy that he thought that he had finally been punished with a legitimate crime.

Immediately, I took out a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to these Ye Shou, and made them insist that the prince's family was going to rebel. I was wronged that the prince sent his son to deliver the letter tonight. Ye Shou was searched for the letter saying he wanted to rebel and wanted to arrest him, but his son snatched the letter and jumped into the river and ran away.

For thousands of years, the most feared thing for every emperor is that his throne is unstable and someone rebels. No matter how good the emperor is, no matter how much he is, the emperor who is loved by the people, he is afraid, especially the stronger the country, the more afraid it is.

The way of Tao is the way of heaven. The way of heaven is the way of everything in the world.

Since ancient times, every dynasty has been the same. If the best comes, the best comes. There is no country that will never fall forever. The stronger a country, the more cheap the food will become, and the less valuable it will be. To put it bluntly, people will be full and full and do whatever they want when they don’t have to worry about food or clothing.

The world is relative, and yin and yang blend together, but they are also opposite. As the country becomes more and more prosperous, business will gradually become higher and higher, while agriculture will become lower and lower. That is, the richer the richer the poor, the poorer the poor.

The truly rich people occupy the minority, while the poor people occupy the majority. As they gradually come and go, all kinds of disagreements will arise, collectively called public grievances.

The stronger the country, the more dissatisfied the people's hearts, and the greater the grievances of the people. Although the emperors knew about these, there was no solution to the root cause. For thousands of years, no country in any dynasty had come up with. The faster the stronger the people, the faster the people died. This is called "Taiji Sheng".

However, although there is no way to "treat the root cause", there are still ways to "treat the symptoms" and countless. For example, some dynasties have implemented systems such as "ban on weapons", "ban on weapons and military orders".

The ban on martial arts order is concise and to the point where it is prohibited to practice martial arts, and the people are not allowed to have a strong body. The ban on weapon order is prohibiting swords, weapons, and other sharp blades. For example, during the Qin Dynasty, people even wanted to buy kitchen knives, so they had to go to the official family to register under their real name.

These are all techniques for emperors to govern the people, and among these, the most common curfew is to be imposed. Since the problem cannot be solved fundamentally, then any possibility of problems that may occur will be banned, even if it is inconspicuous.

Shang Tang was in a peaceful and prosperous era, with the power of a strong tripod. Things that the people could not see, but the emperor could see, so the curfew was always very strict.

As soon as the time comes, the people have to turn off the lights and turn off the fire and go to bed. Li Bai is full of wine and eats, so he doesn't dare to stay too long. He takes a step and walks to the inn.

But unexpectedly, when he was about to arrive at the inn, Li Bai saw a familiar figure far away. The figure was petite, wearing a yellow dress, carrying a lot of things here, and he was struggling slowly into the inn with great difficulty.

This person is Lu Xiaoyu.

As soon as Li Bai saw the things she was carrying, he knew that they were all herbs and bought them for her sister Xu Lanxian. Seeing her helpless look, Li Bai couldn't help but want to go over and help her carry them, because the amount of her this time was more than twice as much as when the two of them bought them last time.

But as soon as he took half a step, Lu Xiaoyu suddenly turned around and frightened Li Bai to the ground, and hurriedly shrank and hid back to the wall. After gasping for a few breaths, he quietly poked his head out and looked. He saw that the reason why Lu Xiaoyu turned around was that a bag of herbs in his hand fell to the ground, and asked Li Bai to secretly be glad that she didn't see him.

At this moment, a familiar figure came out of the inn, a waiter. When he saw Lu Xiaoyu carrying a large bag of herbs, he hurriedly came up to help, and then walked in after talking.

"Oh my God!" Li Bai looked at the direction of the inn, frowned, and said to himself: "Why are they here in Leshan? Are they still in the same inn as me?"

"Oh! It's all my fault!" After a moment, Li Bai thought of something in his mind, that day, Li Bai told Lu Xiaoyu that he came to Leshan to ask the Buddhist temple to worship Buddha.

Li Bai didn't rush to enter the inn, afraid that he would meet again, so he stayed outside for a while. It was not until he saw a few patrolers coming to the street that Li Bai tiptoed in and quietly returned to his room.

The night passed like this, and Li Bai never came out since he entered. The next day, Li Bai woke up very early because of his habit. But unlike going, Li Bai did not dare to practice swords in the yard, nor did he dare to play any more. He just lay by the window and looked out of the gap.

For no reason, it was because Li Bai got up early, but Lu Xiaoyu actually got up earlier. Before dawn, Lu Xiaoyu was boiling medicine in the yard, facing Li Bai's house.

Li Bai wanted to find a gap to escape. Lu Xiaoyu had too many medicines, five stoves. He was busy and busy, and Li Bai had no way to leave.

It was not until midnight that Lu Xiaoyu put away the medicine stoves and asked the waiter to help prepare a carriage, saying that he wanted to go out for a walk. When he heard the news, Li Bai was extremely happy and thought to himself: "I can finally go to the cottage!"

After a while, Lu Xiaoyu and the others left the inn, and Li Bai finally walked out of the house. After washing up, he followed the route he had asked about yesterday and rushed to the Buddhist temple, preparing to pay homage to Zen Master Lingyun.

The scenery along the way is very good, but Li Bai was not interested in enjoying the scenery and just wanted to hurry up. When he arrived at the foot of the Buddhist Temple, Li Bai saw that many people were also going to ask about the Buddhist Temple, which were all pilgrims.

Coincidentally, it was a long way from a distance that Li Bai saw Lu Xiaoyu again. She was obviously holding a lot of incense and paper money in her hand, but she was jumping and jumping, not feeling tired, and she looked so cute.

"Oh my God!" Li Bai: "Why did you meet her again?"

Li Bai was helpless and wanted to turn around and go back, but he stopped again. Knowing that the human-eating monster was about to come out to cause trouble tomorrow night, he had to quickly go to the Buddhist temple to find Zen Master Lingyun and discuss countermeasures. So Li Bai had to follow him quietly and walk up the mountain, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Not long after, suddenly, Lu Xiaoyu, who was running around everywhere, was called back by someone behind her. The man had a blue dress with a beautiful figure, but because he was facing Li Bai, Li Bai couldn't see her appearance clearly. But seeing Lu Xiaoyu's obedient appearance to her, Li Bai immediately guessed that the woman in Lan Shang must be Xu Lanxian.

Li Bai didn't dare to go and see it for a long time, and followed him with his head down. With the endless pilgrims, he went up the mountain after about two incense sticks and came to Wenfu Temple.

I asked the Buddhist temple that there were two young monks who were plucking the Vajra Bodhi in front of the gate. Wuyou was eleven or twelve years old. Lu Xiaoyu and Xu Lanxian seemed to know them and looked very familiar. Li Bai saw them greeting each other, and then a monk led Lu Xiaoyu and Xu Lanxian in, and soon disappeared.

After waiting for a while, Li Baixie walked to another little monk and asked, "My little master, how can you ask where Master Lingyun is? I am here to visit me at the order of my family master!"

"An?" The little monk was stunned and did not rush to answer, looking very alert. After looking at Li Bai up and down, the Buddha bent down and bowed, saying, "What is the donor's name? What is the master of the family? Why did he come to visit him?"

"I am here to Li Bai, my family master is Dong Yanzi and Zhao Rui." Li Bai replied and said, "Here comes because of the man-eating monster."

"Dongyanzi, Zhao Rui?" The little monk turned his eyes as if he was thinking, then tilted his lips and said, "Donor, please follow me."

"Little Master." Li Bai: "I'm working!"

In this way, Li Bai followed the little monk through the crowd and soon came to a more secluded yard. Although there were pilgrims around, there were very few gathered in front of a Buddha statue and knelt down to burn incense.

"Donor, please wait here." The little monk said politely: "I'll go and inform the master, because someone has just come to find the master, so don't bother them."

"An!" Li Bai: "Please, please!"

The little monk gave a gift and walked towards one side. When Li Bai saw that the temple was quite large, with pavilions and pavilions, and the Buddha statues stood dignified, he suddenly felt like enjoying the scenery. When he thought that the little monk would not turn back too early, Li Bai was in high spirits and walked around the yard to enjoy it.

Soon, Li Bai found that the yard was a little circling, like a maze. Li Bai walked around and walked around to a particularly large Bodhi tree, with red ropes tied on it, and a sign was hung on the end of the rope, and two names with different surnames and names were engraved on the sign; behind the sign were various messages. Li Bai just saw it and knew that this big Bodhi tree was a marriage tree, and it was found in many temples.

When Li Bai arrived, there were many people next to him who were happily talking and laughing, hanging up the marriage signs he asked for. Some people knelt on the ground, made vows and said that they would always be united, holding hands and growing old together. Some people clasped their fists and closed their eyes, made wishes facing the marriage tree, and their faces were filled with happiness.

Li Bai had never seen such a big Bodhi tree, nor did he see this marriage tree. Most of them were only seen in books. So he became curious and walked under the tree and raised his head, looking at the various messages behind the sign. Sometimes he shook his head, sometimes he laughed, and sometimes he looked sad.

Just as he was in high spirits, suddenly, a silver bell-like voice came from behind Li Bai, saying, "Young man, can you ask you, I was lost accidentally?"

Li Bai turned around and saw an unparalleled face, reflecting in front of him. In just a moment, Li Bai forgot everything, looked at her in front of him, motionless like a stone sculpture. The preface to the Immortal Sword
