第一回：
     华夏传奇：华夏文化五千年，神奇色彩在人间，白听不厌的故事，请你收听华夏传奇。

     中国有句成语，叫做“八仙过海，各显其能”，这里的八仙，指得是：铁拐李、钟汉李，蓝采和、张果老、何仙姑、吕洞宾、韩湘子和曹国舅。
关于八仙的神话传说，经过长期流传，变的是越来越丰富多彩了，至于是真是假，真是无法考证， 不过，我相信有这样一点，即使今天所有的人，都看到了一个惊天动地的奇迹，发生经过久远的流传，后人仍然会把它当做神话，当做传说，让我们就来听听这个美丽的传说吧！
    慧通龙王话前因，话说周到河南有个富翁姓张，他积德行善，做了许多好事，却没有一个孩子，到了40岁的时候，夫人才生下了一个儿子，夫妻两是欢天喜地，给儿子取名叫“张国”。张国树根身后，一生下来，就会说话，异常聪明，当他10岁左右的时候，上仙文眉真人派女弟子慧通去点化他，张国很快就领悟了道的真谛。张天成见慧通云行乌罩，发力无限，相信他法力无边的话，就和儿子一起学道，把家产全都送给了穷人。
   有一天，慧通去水晶宫拜会龙王，龙王对他说：“听说你收了个名叫张国的弟子，他的前生母亲罗缘，因为有罪，被贬为为田螺，现在已经超脱了，罗缘尊师法旨，在自己的洞府中建起了道场，可是不知道法师是哪一位呀？”
    慧通就告诉龙王说：“这件事情，早在500年前，我师傅就已经算定了，说是有一位姓李的瘸腿道人，到时候自会来主持罗缘道场的禅实。”
   龙王问到：“不知这问道仙是何方神圣啊？”
   慧通说道：“这个国仙的前生是玉皇大帝殿上的一个司香吏，就是管香火的，只因爱说笑话，在万寿宴上，和一个浮华女官打趣，于是来年各个人都受重罚，重新轮回10世，现在这个被贬的神仙，都已经过了十世轮回，到了期限了，他们两都能够妩媚本性，双双修成了正果，这就可以回升天府，再为上仙，而且仙职还会高于从前，因为他们他们十世为人，不是大仁大慈，就是大贤大孝，深得人心，将来一定成就不小。”
    龙王好奇的问：“这位司香吏转世到何处？”
    慧通说：“这司香吏现在姓李，生于河南，听说是太上老君同族后人，天上老君从盘古开天以来，常常转世为人，近百年来，又转生一普仙，收了弟子文史真人。当司香吏十世降生的时候，太上老君就派文史真人，前去指点照佛，所以，这位李仙童道极快，这是从古以来，修道的人所没有过的奇缘，而且太上老君已经亲自收他为徒弟，他既能留在祖师门下，将来的前程真实不可限量啊！”
    龙王又问：“这位司花女官现在转世在什么地方呢？”
    慧通说：“因为司花女官现在姓何，生于江南，还是个刚出世不久的女婴呢。”
    龙王笑着说：“云罗请法师在田螺壳内做道场，真是千古未有的奇闻，可谓仙家妙用与众不同，却不知为什么这个道场非得瘸腿李仙主持不可呢？”
    慧通淡淡地说：“这是仙家的规矩，李仙为缘而来，何必多说呢？”
    慧通说完，便告别龙王，回到张国家，不久他又带着张天成、张国父子前去罗缘洞府了。
    要知道张天成、张国父子去罗缘洞府之后，发生了什么事，咱们下回接着说。

第五回：
   华夏传奇：华夏文化五千年，神仙色彩在人间，白听不厌的故事，请你收听华夏传奇。
   老君昆仑收高徒。
   上回说到：李玄听说要到昆仑上拜见太上老君，它是惊喜万分，并请教文史真人：“这里离昆仑山有多远那？”
   文史见这位师弟还很幼稚，便笑着说：“如果是凡夫俗子不行的话，从这里到昆仑山，不知要走多少年了。”李玄吐了吐舌头，不再说什么了。
   文史真人拉了拉李玄的手，说声走吧。信手招来两条彩云，两个人就一起瞪了上去。李玄站在云头，吓得是战战兢兢。
   文史笑着说：“你连妖精的热锅都去尝试过了，现在到怕起来了。”说的李玄也笑起来了。
   李玄只听得耳边呼呼地响，往下边看，只见到下面的上传平原飞一般地往后退去，李玄一阵头昏目眩，李玄急忙闭上双眼，任凭他云屏风送了。
  只听一顿饭的时辰，只听文史真人大喝一声：“止。”李玄睁开眼睛一看，已经占到一顶清幽的高山上了。
  文史真人对李玄说：“这里是昆仑上的最高峰，师祖的洞府就在前面，我们快去拜见吧！”
  李玄跟着文史真人经过了许多琼楼玉宇、金殿银阶才到了祖师大殿，李玄匍匐于地,说：“弟子李玄参见祖师。”
   太上老君传谕赐坐，李玄是不敢就坐。文史真人在旁边笑着说：“祖师让你坐，你就做吧。”李玄这才坐下。
   太上老君见李玄神采俊逸，颇为欢喜，就问：“李玄，前世的事你还记得清楚吗？”
   李玄说：“弟子愚昧，连今世的事都不清楚，怎么记住前世的事，请祖师明示。”
   太上老君点了点头，命童子拿来了一碗净水，亲手在上面画了符，让李玄拿来看。
   李玄看了一会，就看到了天宫上群仙畅饮的情景，也看到了司香使和使花女官被折的情景，还看到了降罚转世后10世的情景，心中顿时清澈如水了。
   太上老君微笑着说：“现在你都清楚了吧？只因为你是有根基的，未提先立，所以悟道很快，有太白金星提携，就很快入到了我的门下，你虽然是福艳不浅，但以后的功行还得靠你自己修持。”
   李玄再三叩拜，感谢世祖的栽培之恩。太上老君又教导李玄：“修道的人要多游历山水，以广阔自己的心胸，要多积德行善，以续集自己的功行。”
   李玄跪着接收祖师法训，知觉的心花顿开，晨清禀释。
   太上老君取出玄门道经三卷，亲手交给了他，并对他说：“这三卷道经，上卷能呼风唤雨、腾云驾雾，中卷能够招神御兵、降妖除怪，下卷能够变化无穷，预测未来，从今天开始，你可以单独前往华山日观风紫霞洞，那里有我的修真洞府，但是那里有不少的妖魔鬼怪，我给你一把宝剑，你可以除妖护身，免遭灾难。”
   李玄跪在地上，将太上老君的话是一一记下，随后他穿上了童子送来的道袍和鞋袜，再戴上一顶道冠，神情更加飘逸，宛然想一个散仙了。
   太上老君见李玄打扮一闭，你现在就上路吧，我还是文史师兄送你上华山，你要在三年之内，把功夫练好，到时候再来这里见我。
   李玄再次叩首，口称：“遵命。”这才依依不舍地告别了太上老君，跟着文史真人重上华山。
   那么，李玄到了华山之后，能够一帆风顺吗，咱们下回再说。

    Fourth:
   China legend: The Chinese culture five millenniums, the mysterious color in the world, listens to the deity the story, asks you to listen to the China legend.
    On the literature and history honorable person Huashan, Li Xuan inquired all the way Huashan's way, according to the traveling schedule procedure, daytime travels, evening rests, hungry has eaten the dry rations, thirsty has drunk the brook spring, after the untold hardships, is not scared, one day of evening, arrives at place of the mountain chain complexity, Li Xuan became lost, about is pacing back and forth, smells a stink suddenly, almost vomits, a breeze blow, has walked an old age blanch beard's old road, the manner very with deep veneration.

     appears  in the remote mountains and ancient forests, thought that is the deity without doubt!
     Thinks of this, Li unreliable has put in order the clothing hastily, walks nearby that old road, holds the tear saying:“disciple Li unreliable comes Huashan to ask the teacher specially, longs for my deceased teacher to show mercy, receives the disciple is the person, causes the disciple to be separated from this world early, soon will build the fruits of virtue.”

   Li Xuan has listened to this saying, is happy, expresses one's thanks busily. The old road held his hand saying that you went with me to the cave mansion, I taught you to repair hold the law. Therefore Li Xuanjiu with was always saying his cave mansion, also did obeisance to him eight has done obeisance. …
   the old road shouts: “young children.”Jumps out accordingly many resembles the person inhuman thing, wants always to say together kowtows. Li Xuan is fears startled, one will be startled.

    The Li unreliable over the face bursts into tears, prostrates oneself once more in the place, said: “the disciple knows oneself the strength of action to be superficial, therefore asks the teacher to help me to be reborn, transcends the common and becomes a sage.”
    The old road said to him: “if wants to be reborn, easier said than done, calculates your good fortune, has run into me, has a convenient method, the having more than enough half of the day, may let you trade every embryo meat bone a cleanness, did not know whether you do want?”
   Li Xuan said hastily: “how can the disciple not want?”
   The old road also says with a smile: “like this good.”“the young children, do well the bowl quickly, washes cleanly him, puts him to the pot in boils till mushy, adds the onion garlic spice, waits for me to eat him in the stomach, pulls out the excrement to come, is his soul.”… The young children have listened, goes forward immediately, advances unreliably Li in the place, takes off his clothes, frightens this Li unreliable whole body to tremble, asks the old road busily: “teacher, what meaning is this?”
   The old road said a face board: “has not eaten you, how can you be reborn?”
    The young children also rashly, already unreliable from top to bottom escape Li a cleanness, shoulders again him the kitchen, some carry water, some lit a fire, to prepare to boil him.
    To this, Li Xuancai knew monster working as, before thinking meets the ghost, to smell the stink, is sends from his body. One are a sincere intention, actually has regarded the ghost dessert.
    In turn another thought that Huashan is my deceased teacher whereabouts, which allows the monster to cause trouble! Cannot speak of is my deceased teacher is testing itself to study a will to be whether strong. Thinks of here, he is not afraid, momentarily prepared the kettle you to go.
    Before long, the small monsters shout: “Shui Kai, has put quickly him to the pot in goes!”
   Li Xuan thought: If is my deceased teacher tests me, I will be safe and sound, if were the monster has boiled really me, I might also be reincarnated the manner earlier, cultivated virtue in order to become an immortal again said.
     Very moment. The small monsters unreliable recommend high Li, only listens to splash one, the boiling water four to splash, he was already thrown in the pot.
    Li Xuan is thrown the ebullition in the pot, actually thought that in pot's water is neither cold nor hot, happen to takes a bath, as the matter stands, he believed that this is my deceased teacher in tests itself, therefore he was glad to hide is free and unrestrained in the pot. Actually Li Xuan meets old road, is also not is assorted commonly old strange, but is the laozi Dawn Mills brand changes.
    One day of laozi and the literature and history honorable person to the luan, remembers suddenly, asks: “where did my plane run up to go?”
    As soon as the literature and history honorable person, in the heart thought that several days have not seen him truly.
   The laozi said: “this domestic animal, the Dawn Mills brand while looks at the child prodigy to fall asleep, descended to earth has injuried many people, now Li Xuan is harmed by him, your quick belt person rescued him, this Li Xuan in my hanger-on, the achievement might greatly!”
   The literature and history rushes to Huashan immediately with the young lad, as soon as according to falls the cloud top to look, the small monsters are investing unreliably Li in the pot, quickly moves to the ice piece from East China Sea, invests in the pot, therefore, in Li invests the boiling water unreliably time, already had the boiling water to turn the lukewarm water, the literature and history then with the young lad same place, floating moves to a step like hole.
    That Dawn Mills brand melts the old road is waiting boils thoroughly Li unreliable to be possible to drink, sees the literature and history and the young lad comes, is flustered for a while, hastily set. The literature and history honorable person expects him to have this move, takes out the laozi from the sleeve to drive cow's whip to face him to extract, loudly shouts to clear the way: “domestic animal, too present primary form.”
   As soon as that domestic animal in rolls at present, demonstrated immediately the Dawn Mills brand the primary form comes, the Dawn Mills brand some are not willingly, hits to the literature and history. As soon as the honorable person with hand one figure, is similar to arrives at Taishan, presses that Dawn Mills brand not to gasp for breath. Cannot move slightly, only then bends down in the share which ground begs for mercy.
    Put up the cow young lad to kick two feet on the Dawn Mills brand body: “I one did not pay attention slightly, have suffered old Mr.'s scolding.”Was saying has put on the nose for it, on reins. The literature and history has received the law, the young lad hand reins, said one: “invites.”Died the laozi to report after carrying out orders.
    The literature and history packs off the young lad, then goes to the kitchen, the pot helps up Li Xuancong.
    Li Xuan looks up, front the human, the road accommodates the spirit, is precisely the space Jing Xian appearance, with a moment ago completely different. Thinking: This probably was tests my real immortal. Hurries to admire in the place, does not stop oral.
    The literature and history honorable person says with a smile: “you are my fellow, has no need a line of such big ritual, you quickly put on clothes, Kunlun Mountains comes up the laozi which with me on Yan Jian sends me to come.”
    Li is so unreliable whether can see the laozi? Our next time then said.
  

第四回：

    华夏传奇：华夏文化五千年，神奇色彩在人间，听神仙的故事，请你收听华夏传奇。
    文史真人上华山，李玄一路上打听上华山的路径，按行程程序，白天行路，晚上休息，饿了吃干粮，渴了喝溪泉，历经千辛万苦，毫不胆寒，一天傍晚，走到一个冈峦错杂之处，李玄迷了路，正在左右彷徨，忽然闻到一股臭味，差点呕出来，一阵风吹过，走过来一个白头发白胡须的老道，神态十分肃然。
   李玄心想：我一路上来，好几天没碰上一个人，今天怎么会在这里遇到这位道长呢？听说太上老君经常打扮成凡夫俗子，现在这位飘飘然有神仙之概的道长，出现在深山老林，想必是神仙无疑啊！
   想到这，李玄连忙整了整衣衫，走在那位老道跟前，含着眼泪说：“弟子李玄专程来华山求师，万望先师大发慈悲，收弟子为徒，使弟子早脱离凡尘，早日悟出正果。”
   那位老道见他这般虔诚，不仅哈哈大笑说：“你就是李玄吧？我在这里已经等你好久了。你既有诚心学道，我也愿意收你为徒，传你金光大道。”
   李玄听了这话，非常高兴，忙又称谢。老道拉着他的手说，你跟我到洞府去吧，我教你修持之法。于是李玄就跟着老道进了他的洞府，又向他拜了八拜。
  老道大喊一声：“小儿们。”应声跳出许多似人非人的东西，一起向老道叩头。李玄是又怕又惊，一会儿惊呆了。
   老道视乎看出来他的心思，对他说：“你既然一心想修道，就是想登天，像你这样的俗骨凡体，不要说上天见玉皇大帝，就是腾云驾雾也是困难的。”
   李玄满面流泪，再次拜倒在地，说道：“弟子自知根行浅薄，所以请师尊帮我脱胎换骨，入圣超凡。”
   老道对他说：“要想脱胎换骨，谈何容易啊，算你福分，遇到了我，有个方便法门，用不了半天，就可以让你将凡胎肉骨换个干净，不知道你是否愿意啊？”
   李玄连忙说：“弟子怎么会不愿意呢？”
   老道又笑道：“这样就好。”“小儿们，快去弄好锅子，将他洗巴干净，把他放到锅里煮烂，加些葱蒜香料，等我把他吃在肚里，拉出屎来，就是他的灵魂。”
   小儿们听了，立即上前，把李玄推到在地，上去脱他的衣服，吓得这个李玄浑身发抖，忙问老道：“师尊啊，这是什么意思啊？”
   老道把脸一板说：“不把你吃了，你怎么能脱胎换骨呢？”
   小儿们也不由分说，早已将李玄浑身上下脱个干净，再将他扛到厨房，有的挑水，有的生火，准备将他煮了。
   到了这个时侯，李玄才知道上了妖怪的当，想到遇到老妖前闻到臭味，就是从他的身上发出来的。自己是一片诚心，却当成了老妖的点心。
   反过来又一想，华山乃是先师所在之处啊，哪容得妖怪作祟啊！说不定是先师在考验自己学道的意志是否坚强。想到这里，他也不害怕了，随时准备到水锅你去了。
   不一会儿，小妖们喊道：“水开了，快把他放到锅里去啦！”
   李玄心想：如果是先师考验我，我就会安然无恙，如果是妖怪真把我煮了，我也可以早点转世为人，再修仙道。
   说时迟，那时快。小妖们把李玄高高举起，只听扑通一声，沸水四溅，他已经被扔进锅里啦。
   李玄被扔进沸腾的锅里，却觉得锅中的水不冷不热，正好洗澡，这样一来，他更相信这是先师在考验自己，所以他更乐意躲在锅里逍遥自在了。其实李玄遇到的老道，也不是什么寻常的老怪，而是太上老君的青牛所变化的。
   一天太上老君和文史真人对鸾，突然想起，问道：“我的座机跑到哪里去了？”
    文史真人，心中一想，确实有几天没有看到他了。
    太上老君叹道：“这畜生，趁看牛神童睡着，就下凡伤了不少人，现在李玄就被他所害，你快带人救他，这位李玄在我门下，成就可大着呢！”
    文史马上与童子赶到华山，按落云头一看，小妖们正在将李玄投入锅中，就赶快从东海移来冰块，投入锅中，所以在李玄投入沸水的时候，已经由沸水变成温水了，文史这才和童子一起，飘然移一步入洞。
   那青牛所化的老道正在等候煮熟李玄可以下酒，见文史和童子进来，一时心慌，连忙就逃啊。
   文史真人料到他有这一招，从袖中取出太上老君驱牛的鞭子朝他抽取，大喝道：“畜生，快现原形。”
     那畜生在眼前一滚，立即显出青牛的原形来啦，青牛有些不甘心，向文史撞过来啦。真人用手一指，如同如来到泰山，压得那青牛喘不过气来啊，丝毫动弹不得，只有伏在地上讨饶的份。
   驾牛童子在青牛身上踢了两脚：“我稍微一不注意，挨了老君的责骂。”说着就替它穿了鼻子，上了缰。文史收了法，童子收缰绳，说了一声：“请。”就仙去太上老君复命了。
   文史送走童子，便去厨房，将李玄从锅里扶起。
   李玄抬头一看，面前之人，道容锐气，正是天上景仙的模样，与刚才的完全不同。心想：这位大概就是考验我的真仙了。赶紧拜服于地，不停地叩头。
   文史真人笑道：“你是我的师弟，用不到行这样的大礼，你赶快穿上衣服，跟我上昆仑山去晏见派我来的太上老君吧。”
   那么，李玄是否可以见到太上老君呢？咱们下回接着说。

     Third: …
   under too white Venus this world.
     the words said blue immortal bright immortal young handyman in buddhist temple Li is unreliable, is the previous existence rescues his person of old handyman in buddhist temple reincarnation. Li Xuan is born in Luoyang's officials others, the father's name is Li Qi, mother You, is the extremely intelligent person.

第三回：

  太白金星下凡尘。
  话说兰仙慧仙的年轻道人李玄，就是前生救他的老道人转世之人。李玄出生在洛阳的一个官宦人家，父亲叫李琦，母亲尤氏，都是绝顶聪明的人。
   以前，尤氏梦见一个道人投入怀中，醒来时，整个房间异香扑鼻，李玄就呱呱落地了。李奇夫妇知道了这个孩子有些来历，对他十分宠爱。李玄从小生性奇特，不求做官、发财，只想出家修道。他常对父母说起前生之事。
   声称，自己前世是个道人。一生积德行善，没做过一桩坏事。不料，在100多岁的时候，因为在滔天巨浪中，救一个落水女子，不小心将她的尸体伤残，深感内疚，至今还耿耿于怀。
   李玄还常对父母说，孩儿得道，首先要找到那个女子，好向她忏悔，才能消除自己的罪恶感。他说这些李奇只当儿子在说疯话，也不去理会，有时候听的不耐烦了，便斥责他几句。尤氏却相信仙道，知道儿子说这些话却只有原因，每次听了都劝慰他一番。
    李玄16岁的时候，太白金星受太上老君的委托，驾云而来，降落于李奇府上。全家人又惊又喜，跪地磕头，本象悠闲。
   太白金星满面笑容说：“你们不必多礼，我与公子有缘，特来相见。”
   李琦听这些话，恐怕自己儿子被太白金星带走，所以不敢抬头回话。夫人是心直口快，不加搜索，立即派人去私塾把儿子给叫来了。
   李玄一见太白金星，恍然有似曾相识，马上低头拜了八拜。太白金星上了近前将李玄扶起，拉着他的手问：“离别千年，你还认得我吗？”说着对着他的脑袋拍了三下。
   李玄顿时醒悟，久失以前之事历历在目，连连磕头，说：“师傅，你快救弟子脱离苦海吧。”
  太白金星笑道：“你也别太心急了，有这么容易就当神仙的事吗？”
  李玄一听，自觉羞愧，并说：“请师傅带我一带，弟子不怕磨难，不恋红尘，哪怕千辛万苦，也绝不会后悔的。”
  李琦听儿子对太白金星说这个话，恐怕他离家而去，急忙要阻止他，但是为时已晚。只见太白金星将袖袍一举，霎那间，满屋子金光闪烁，让人睁不开眼睛。金光消失后，太白金星和李玄都不见了。
   再说李玄被太白金星用一阵金光带出李府，飘飘忽忽也不知道到了哪儿。当他两脚已落地，睁眼一看，已不见太白金星的踪影，只有自己一个人站在一条繁华的街道上。
   李玄心想：既然太白金星把我带到这儿，就一定有他的道理。想到这里，他大胆地朝前走去，向人一打听才知道，这里是华山之滨，离开罗开洛阳有几百里之遥。李玄明白，这是仙家的妙用，是自己顷刻之间，走了这么多的路。心想，听说太上老君也有洞府在华山，太白金星把自己带到这里，想必是值得我放心的捷径，免得我我到处瞎闯。
  想到这儿，他不由从空中叩首，以表谢意。
  走了一会儿，李玄感到浑身燥热，满头大汗，觉得很奇怪，不知为什么这里的天气会比洛阳热？何况自己怀里还将想象这时候人人都穿着棉衣，为什么这里的人个个只穿单衣呢？温差难道有这么大吗？
   李玄正想着，迎面走来一个老人，将他打量了一番，问道：“小哥，这么炎热的天气，你还穿着棉衣，是不是身体不舒服啊？”
  李玄这才知道：现在正式盛夏，而自己离家的时候，分明是严冬啊！ 他明白了：太白金星不仅有多的智术，而且还有灭时之法呢！
   李玄一路打听上华山的路径，要知道李玄到了华山以后，到底发生了什么事，咱们下回接着说。

    Second: China legend: The Chinese culture five millenniums, the mysterious color in the world, the story which Bai Ting does not tire, asks you to listen to the China legend.
    Li Xuan, the blue immortal reason, mentions nearby the Zhejiang Jinjiang to have a village together, the village has the gentleman who half partly reads, the named horse first fullmoon, he has a daughter, is called Aunt Ma, also attractive, was also virtuous, marries has given with the village surname ancient student, this student was penniless, actually another maneating like bold woman's stepmother Yu.

    Unexpectedly Yu looked that they can make money support him, thought that the wife had the extramarital affair, scolds him with the malicious talk slander, but also uses the rattan to hit her. … Has a feudal bully with the village, is called the live tiger, he already looked that starts aunt's beauty, only because of her pure and chaste practicing moderation, has no weakness to exploit, therefore hears aunt's husband the student to go out to do business, his mother-in-law also has regards her like thorn in one's side, this live tiger then took advantage that the human sends for whereabouts Yu to discuss marriage, Yu has wanted the sale price money to the live tiger, will then promise aunt to marry to him.
    Aunt sees mother-in-law is so the unfeeling, have to hung oneself goes.
    In order to preserve the pure and chaste, she took advantage jumps trades when ship acrossing a bridge, suddenly plunges into the river, on ship's person hurried rescues, the resentful sea is only deep, has been busy at work one in vain, where also has her trace.
     After Aunt Ma throws the river, fires into the downstream by the mighty waves. At this time some over 100 year-old handymen in buddhist temple, are harnessing the ship, the preparation are crossing the river handle matters, suddenly, he discovered the upstream flutters a female, did not know that is dies is lives. As soon as the old road reads the mercy, settles in any event, must rescue her, but she arrives at never body of since childhood the near female. Now cannot, for this female has broken oneself boundary for a lifetime. He uses the bamboo wormwood spot to live in aunt's body, has towed slowly again her, but aunt, because is drowned is too long, was already deep and clear the Hunan jade to damage, is unable to come back to life. The old road saw already until death, although could not the lifesaving, but also wanted to salvage the body, buried her. He exhausts the strength, tows aunt's corpse embarks, unexpectedly that corpse already the distension of the abdomen bone pine, unexpectedly in towed an instant that which embarks, a leg fell off to the river inside, several waves hit, the old road's ship is overturned. He tours the shore with great difficulty, aunt's corpse actually did not know that which is rushed goes.
     The old road will come ashore had later thought he needs to save others originally, unexpectedly instead gave others' corpse is disabled. Not only this is very miserable, and has violated the original intention which one over a hundred years cultivate oneself according to religious doctrine to establish.
     He more wants more to feel restless, has gone crazy unconscious, less than several months, then died.
     Also the Aunt Ma soul, gave shelter to by the river god, delivers in the crystal palace. Dragon King because of aunt extremely filial piety, therefore to her several respect, for her the very high etiquette, and for her explained that matter of the previous existence, aunt is listening silently, this is suddenly enlighted.
     Dragon King also said: “you also have in a person of same belief the human, is folded together with you descends to earth, so long as this life, simultaneously has folded next life with you fully, cultivated oneself according to religious doctrine to return to original condition. That person of this life study for a lifetime, leads a pious life basically, the discipline is extremely strict, now had over 100 years old, because rescues your time, has gotten a cut yours corpse, his unusual annoying lamentation, the insane crazy sickness, had died soon unexpectedly.”
    Aunt listened to be sad, could not think that I threw Jiang Er to die, will also implicate such good person to meet with a disaster, was really unfair to him.
     Dragon kingly way: “you do not want the compunction, this is his fate willed it so, has not related with you. However he is committing crime of accidentally the disabled corpse, perhaps a little the disability, will be next life good and his life, the general character is immaterial.”
    Aunt listened to this saying even more not to have the heart, is persuaded after by Dragon King, was also much better. Soon, aunt's soul delivers by Dragon King spot is reincarnated. Because aunt cannot forget that section of this lives, the reincarnation metempsychosis is surnamed He others in space under foot one, the infant name is called the blue immortal, her real name ancient plum, quack quack falls to the ground, will speak, moreover is not willing to eat meat. After growing up a spot, she resolves to cultivate oneself according to religious doctrine. Her father what clean, mother Liu Shi, is the upright good person. The body and mind to Buddha, sees the daughter to be more reverent, also does not stop her.
     Crossed in an instant for more than 10 years, the blue immortal thought that repairs in the home holds the progress not to be big, then requests the parents to agree, oneself leave home to travel far, seeks out the famous teacher, teaches the main road. Mr. and Mrs. He Jie the year 40 only then have given birth to such an unmarried girl, therefore does not give up her to leave, hoped that she continues to go out making a house-call, also waits for the age to be slightly big a spot, handles matters also experienced somewhat.
     One day, a surname Li's young handyman in buddhist temple pays a visit suddenly. He Jie is very sober, asked where the daughter is in knows such a handyman in buddhist temple?

Sees only that handyman in buddhist temple, the refined appearance Xiu skill, ancient fragrant clear, graceful, the blue immortal thought that which absent minded in has seen him. That handyman in buddhist temple also thought that with the blue immortal acquaintance, he goes forward to He Jiefu female to salute, two people return salute hurriedly.
     He Jie asks: “what name in religion please ask person, paradise where?”
     The handyman in buddhist temple takes a seat at the same time, at the same time replies: “I am surnamed Li, unreliable, the Henan public figure, I and your son counts the world to be predestined friends, after reincarnation birth, remembers your son before death matter, wants to come to see him, confesses in front, by table previous generation long-cherished wish.”Said said the cause and effect, this only then says goodbye goes.
     After Li Xuan walks, He Jie remembers suddenly, daughter seven year-old time, seven day of unreliable female, once melted esophagus Buddha, descends to earth the direction, the blue immortal lives has early brightly, sees Fairy Returns to Earth, then seeks for advice, but cannot obtain enlightenment rapidly, asks his reason, the blue immortal said that cannot dismiss from mind matter of the previous existence, the wish seeks for that position to rescue itself, but died place of the old handyman in buddhist temple metempsychosis, waited for him to make the deity, oneself were willing to transcend the mortal world.
     Unreliable female does not force her, taught her some to practice breathing exercises maintains mental tranquility, wards off the valley the mnemonics, as well as the stealth flew the sword and so on self-defense magic arts. After urging her, returned to the space to go, was henceforth blue the immortal wholly absorbed to repair in the home holds. He Jie thought that today this and so on this previous generation is predestined friends the Li handyman in buddhist temple, the blue immortal also soon surpassed. Then, after Li unreliably is reincarnated, also how, did our next time then say.

     第二回：
     华夏传奇：华夏文化五千年，神奇色彩在人间，白听不厌的故事，请你收听华夏传奇。
  李玄、兰仙一起缘，说起浙江锦江附近有个村子，村子有个半更伴读的君子，名叫马上元，他有个女儿，人称马大姑，又漂亮、又贤惠，嫁给了同村的姓古的书生，这个书生一贫如洗，却又一个凶悍如雌老虎的后母于氏。
   这个于氏不但虐待媳妇，还要儿子大妈儿子，如果儿子不打骂媳妇，扬言告他一个忤逆的大罪，可怜故书生被他后母逼得没办法，就跟人做生意，这样一来，于氏对媳妇就更厉害了，难得马大姑任劳任怨，妇兼子职，恪尽孝敬，千方百计地来奉养于氏。
   不料于氏看他们能够挣钱养活他，就认为媳妇有了外遇了，用恶言恶语骂他，还用藤条打她。
    同村有个恶霸，人称活老虎，他早就看上马大姑的美色，只因为她贞洁自持，无机可乘，听说大姑的丈夫故书生外出经商，他婆婆又有视她如眼中钉，这活老虎便趁人派人去向于氏提亲，于氏向活老虎要了身价银子，便答应将大姑嫁给他。
    大姑见婆婆是如此绝情，只得上吊而去了。
    为了保住贞洁，她趁下跳换船过桥之时，猛然跳入江中，船上的人急忙来救，只怨大海深，拜拜忙活了一阵，哪里还有她的踪影啊。
    马大姑投江之后，被波涛冲向下游。这个时候有一个100多岁的来道人，正驾着船，正准备过江去办事，突然，他发现上游飘来一个女子，不知是死是活。老道一念慈悲，定下无论如何，要将她救起，但她从笑到老不仅女子之身呢。现在也不能为了这个女子破了自己一辈子的界限。他就用竹蒿点住大姑的身体，再将她慢慢地拖了过来，但大姑因为溺水太久，已经潇湘玉损，无法还魂了。老道见已经至死，虽然不能救生，但还想将身体打捞上来，把她埋葬。他用尽力气，把大姑的尸体拖上船，不料那个尸体已经腹胀骨松，不略在拖上船的一霎那，一条腿脱落到江里面了，几个浪打来，老道的船被打翻。他好不容易游到岸边，大姑的尸体却不知被冲到哪去了。
    老道上岸以后想了自己本来需要救人，不料反而把人家的尸体给伤残了。这不但很惨，而且违背了自己上百年修道立下的初衷了。
   他越想越感到不安，不知不觉发疯了，没过几个月，便一命呜呼了。
   再说马大姑的灵魂，由江神收留，送到水晶宫里。龙王因为大姑极孝，所以对她几位敬重，给她很高的礼仪，并为她说明前生之事，大姑默默听着，这才恍然大悟。
   龙王又说：“你还有一个同道中人，和你一同被折下凡，只要过了这一生，来生就与你同时折满，修道归真。那人今生学道一辈子，基本修行，戒律极严，现在已有100多岁了，因为救你的时候，把你的尸体弄伤了，他非常的懊恼悔恨，竟然得了疯痴病，不久去世了。”
   大姑听了非常伤心，想不到我投江而死，还会连累这样的好人遭殃，真是对不起他了。
   龙王道：“你也不要内疚，这是他命该如此，与你没有关系。不过他在无意中犯下伤残尸体之罪，来生恐怕有点残疾，好在与他的性命、共性无关紧要。”
   大姑听了这话更加于心不忍，被龙王劝说一番以后，也就好多了。不久，大姑的灵魂由龙王点送投生。大姑因为忘不了那段今生，转世投胎在天上脚下一家姓何的人家，乳名叫兰仙，她真名古梅，呱呱落地的时候，就会说话，而且不肯吃一点荤腥。长大一点之后，她就立志修道。她的父亲何洁，母亲刘氏，都是忠厚善良之人。身心向佛，见女儿这般虔诚，也就不去阻拦她。
   转眼过了10多年，兰仙觉得在家修持进步不大，便请求父母同意，自己离家远游，访求名师，传授大道。何洁夫妇年过40才生下这么个闺女，所以舍不得她离开，希望她继续要出门访视，也等年纪稍大一点，处事也老练一些。
   突然有一天，一个姓李的年轻道人登门拜访。何洁十分清醒，问女儿是在哪儿认识这么个道人的？
   兰仙也感到莫名其妙，父女一起出来与客人会见。只见那个道人，风神秀艺，古香清晰，飘飘欲仙，兰仙觉得恍惚在哪见过他。那个道人也觉得与兰仙相识，他上前向何洁父女行了个礼，两人急忙还礼。
   何洁问道：“请问道人什么法号，仙乡何处啊？”
   道人一面就坐，一面回答道：“我姓李，名玄，河南人士，我和你公子数世有缘，转世出生后，想起你公子生前之事，就想来看看他，当面忏悔一下，以表前世的夙愿。”说完就将前因后果说了一遍，这才告辞而去。
   李仙走后，何洁猛然想起，女儿七岁的时候，七天玄女，曾经化食道佛，下凡指点，兰仙生有夙慧，见仙女下凡，便重新求教，但不可迅速得道，问他原因，兰仙说是不能忘怀前生之事，想要寻找那位救过自己，而死去的老道人投胎之处，等他做了神仙，自己才肯超凡入圣。
   玄女也不勉强她，教了她一些练气养神，辟谷的口诀，以及隐身飞剑之类的防身法术。叮嘱她一番之后，就回到天上去了，从此兰仙就专心致志在家修持。何洁心想，今天这等来的这位前世有缘的李道人，兰仙也快要超度了。那么，李玄转世之后，又如何呢，咱们下回接着说。
