Beyond the Noisy World: The Long Lost Eight Sects: 028, the monk who stole meat

lnmao.org, the fastest update outside: the latest chapters of the eight disappeared!

Lao Yang was intrigued and took a sip of his drink and said, "Of course I have been there. My old mother also liked burning incense and worshiping Buddha, and took me to the temple fair. I also ate the vegetarian restaurant in Chishan Temple once. Well, there is a deep-fried pumpkin flower, which is really delicious, that smell... The pumpkin flower can taste meat, and now I am drooling when I think about it!"

Ding Qi smiled and said: "Pumpkin flowers are very common in rural areas, and you can make them yourself when you go home."

Lao Yang shook his head and said: "Different, different. I was poor when I was young. I didn’t have any oil in my stomach. Everything I eat was delicious. It was fried with temple incense and put a lot of oil. ...My grandfather told me when he was a child, the story of the monk stealing meat from Chishan Temple."

Drinking and chatting are just like that. Ding Qi curiously asked: "How to steal meat? You always tell me about it."

Lao Yangtou: "There is a chamber pot under the monk’s bed, and there is fragrance in the room. Cut the meat into small pieces, mix with the seasonings and put it in the chamber pot to cook. In the past, there was that thick woody fragrance, so I put it with woody fragrance. I lit it under the chamber pot, simmered on a small fire in the middle of the night, and the meat was simmered very badly. That's delicious!"

Ding Qi: "The chamber pot is the pot for peeing at night, right?"

Lao Yangtou: "Yes, I have a handle on my big belly. There is no cover on it. There is only a large opening next to it. It's pottery. You young people have never seen it before."

Ding Qi: "Can that stuff stew meat?"

Lao Yangtou: "The monk is not a fool. The new chamber pots they use for stewing meat are all unused."

Ding Qi: "Have you always seen it with your own eyes, or have you eaten together?"

Lao Yangtou: "I haven't seen it before. I listened to my grandfather. But the monks at Chishan Temple were really rich. They really could afford meat at that time. I heard that when the Cultural Revolution broke down, I smashed the bodhisattvas in the temple, and the silver dollars inside splashed all over the floor. The big heads of Yuan were hidden in the belly of those bodhisattvas!"

Ding Qi: "Have you seen this with your own eyes?"

Lao Yangtou: "I was in the countryside and didn't see it. But I had a cousin who was studying in the city, who was also the Red Guard who smashed Chishan Temple. He saw it with his own eyes and told me later."

In Lao Yangtou, Ding Qi still didn't find a clue to Da Chi Mountain. Instead, he heard a lot of legends about Chishan Temple. Another suspicious clue that Ding Qi found in the ancient books has nothing to do with Da Chi Mountain, but with the place name "Jinghu".

During the Ming Dynasty, there was a celebrity here. On a certain outing, he sighed that he was incapable of meeting him. He was secretly categorical and wrote a travel note. In his travel note, he mentioned a story about a fairy circulated in the local area.

The general idea is as follows: on a certain day and a certain year, a certain Taoist was guided by a fairy urn to seek the fairy tale, and went 30 miles to the south of the city, and found the famous small lake in the holy place. The scenery is beautiful and the water is walking in the mountains like "zhi "The word, the three lakes are on top of each other. At the lowest point, the big lake in the valley is full of clear waves for ten miles, and the scenery is particularly beautiful. Taoists get fairy bait in the forest by the lake, and take it away.

The so-called "rush" refers to the ascension to a fairy. This is the story of another Taoist who is older than that recorded by an ancient scholar.

There are many ridiculous and bizarre stories written by ancient Chinese scholars. On the other hand, they follow the principle of "no words, strangeness and power", which seem to be somewhat contradictory. In the eyes of psychologists like Ding Qi, such stories are either metaphors of some kind of life ambitions, or depressed obscenities.

For example, the mother Jia in "Dream of Red Mansions" once said: "Left are just some wonderful talents, the most boring. They are all scholars, and the father is either a scholar or a prime minister. The birth of a young lady must be love as a treasure. This The young lady must be Tongwen Zhili, she is a peerless beauty. I only saw a handsome man, whether he was a relative or a friend, and I thought of life-long events..."

The arrangement of fairy ghosts and foxes is more than arrangement of talented men and beautiful ladies. For example, if a scholar rushes to stay or reads in a house at night, there will be a beautiful vixen to hook up, not only give away family business, money, and even pull the same beautiful vixen sisters together... No one really takes the story seriously.

Ding Qi didn't take it seriously, but he has been paying attention to the place names in ancient books recently, and he is almost a little nervous. "Da Chi Mountain" hasn't been found yet, but I actually saw "Xiaojing Lake" in ancient books.

Jinghu City is named after Jinghu. This lake exists in reality and is now in the city center. If Jinghu City is compared to Hangzhou City, then Jinghu Lake is equivalent to West Lake. The area of ​​Jinghu Lake is less than one-tenth that of West Lake, but it is not too small. There is such a clear water in the city center, which is also a rare good view.

Now Jinghu Park has been built around Jinghu Lake, which is also a good place for citizens to relax and play. You can stroll on the trail around the lake or go boating in the lake. When Ding Qi and Jiajia were in love, they ran into Jinghu Lake and rowed a couple boat. However, the place name "Xiaojing Lake" was mentioned in the ancient books, and the location was "30 miles to Nancheng".

More importantly, the celebrity’s travel notes not only mentioned "fairy bait", but also described it: "Like a giant chrysanthemum, high chi-yu, fleshy, white in color, with branches like arms. Day and night. Now, the moonlight is sound, Ruoer screams."

This description resembles the kind of strange creature Ding Qi saw in Tian Qi's spiritual world. If no one has seen it with their own eyes, it is impossible to describe it in such detail.

Jinghu City was very small in the Ming Dynasty. It was just a post town within the jurisdiction of Wanling Prefecture. It was only in the Qing Dynasty that it gradually developed into an important trading port on the banks of the Yangtze River. Ding Qi found a map of the Ming Dynasty and compared it to the current map of Jinghu City. It was about fifteen kilometers from the ancient town to the south, and the place was not out of the city.

Five hundred years have passed, and the urban area of ​​Jinghu is now many times larger than that of the Ming Dynasty. The northward extension of Jinghu City is blocked by the Yangtze River, and the Jiangbei New District has been developed after the completion of the Yangtze River Bridge in the past ten years. To the south, it was developed earlier, and that area is now Yuling District, which is still under continuous construction.

Ding Qi took the time to drive his second-hand Passat and drove around the streets and alleys of Yuling District, like a spy who stepped on the spot, and also searched various parks and communities, even the construction site under construction. I passed, but I couldn’t find the shadow of the "Xiaojinghu" described in the historical site.

What the ancients saw is now difficult to verify, but Tian Qi and Tu Zhi are modern people. They have all been to such a place. I didn't see that kind of strange creature in Tu Zhi's spiritual world, but Tian Qi's spiritual world did. Ding Qi even suspected that the so-called "Xiaojing Lake" and "Da Chi Mountain" were the same place, but the place names were different in the Tang and Ming dynasties.

But no matter how he speculated and analyzed, he still couldn't find a clue. Tu Zhi couldn't get the answer there, and Tian Qi might know some clues, but it was a pity that Tian Qi had already been killed by his own hands. It cost money, time and energy, but in the end nothing was gained, Ding Qi had to rest his mind for a while. It's not that he doesn't want to find it, but he doesn't know how to find it. It's better to work hard.

"Mr. Lu, you look haggard, and you don’t seem to have a good rest. Where can I help you?" This is half a month after drinking and chatting with Old Yang, Ding Qi received a Help seekers.

The lady's name is Lu Fang. She is 54 years old this year. She is well dressed and well maintained. She is a vice president of a large state-owned enterprise and a leading cadre. She will retire in a year. State-owned enterprise leaders rarely come to see a psychologist. It is estimated that they are more taboo and afraid of people talking. But coming to Ding Qi's place was not very noticeable, and he was promised confidentiality when he called to make an appointment.

Ding Qi’s fees are not cheap, and medical insurance cannot be reimbursed. Lu Fang registered an appointment to call him. It seems that something is indeed happening, and the problem may be more serious.

Lu Fang replied: "I know Mr. Ye from your hospital. A friend of his recommended Dr. Ding to you, and I have heard of Dr. Ding's name before."

Ding Qi: "It turned out to be recommended by a friend of Mr. Ye. What problems do you need to solve? I mean psychological problems."

Lu Fang: "In fact, it’s nothing serious. I recently fell ill. I always feel a little nervous. I often have the same dream at night and have a very bad rest. I heard that Dr. Ding is very good at treating insomnia. I will come to you to try."

Ding Qi smiled gently and said: "Just based on your statement, this is not insomnia, but a problem with sleep quality. Can you tell me the content of the dream in detail?"

Lu Fang: "There is nothing I can't say, just walk to a place, surrounded by woods, and you can see things like little people popping up on the ground, babbling, and the environment is a bit scary."

Ding Qi was stunned, and immediately asked: "Can you describe the place in detail? Is there any familiar place in reality that resembles it?"

Lu Fang thought about it and said: "At first it was a bit like Xiaochishan Park. Dr. Ding knew Xiaochishan Park, right on the edge of the Jinghu City River. But walking inside is not easy to describe, the trees are all growing. It's very tall and big, the light is a bit dark, and it feels a bit gloomy."

Ding Qi: "Did you have this dream recently, or have you had a similar dream before?"

"I started to have this dream more than a month ago." Lu Fang's tone paused when he said that, "It doesn't seem to be the case. After hearing the reminder from Dr. Ding, I am in a daze and remember doing it a long time ago. I have had similar dreams, but I can’t remember them clearly."

This kind of trance memory obtained through induction is actually hard to say is true. Ding Qi did not ask any more, and changed the subject: "Have you been to Xiaochishan Park recently?"

Lu Fang: "Yes, I've been there recently. I still sat there for a while, and it was dark when I left. Maybe it was a cold, came home and fell ill, and then I started doing that often Dreamed."

Ding Qi tried to relax his expression, looking serious but not so dignified, and asked: "Mr. Lu, can you tell me why I went to Xiaochishan Park by myself and stayed until dark?"

Lu Fang: "How did Dr. Ding know that I went alone?"

Ding Qi: "Oh, I just asked, didn't you go there alone?"

Lu Fang: "I did go alone. I wanted to find a friend, but I didn't find it..."

Lu Fang is not in a good mood recently. The superiors recently talked to her and told her tactfully that she would gradually fade out of the front-line business from now on, so that the new leaders who were promoted later could be familiar with and take over the work. There is a sense of loss.

Many of her old colleagues have now retired. Some people have persuaded her to take a break when she needs a break and enjoy her retirement. But whether it is physical or mentality, she thinks she is still very young! Just last year, she signed up for and completed the half marathon, and the certificate is now hanging on the wall of the office. Everyone praised her.

An old elder sister who has retired said that if she danced square dance in Xiaochishan Park today, she would have a happy life. That day, Lu Fang went out to work in the afternoon. After finishing the work, he happened to pass by the gate of Xiaochishan Park and heard the sound of music inside.

There are many people dancing square dancing in the park, not only old men and old ladies, but many of them look quite young. Lu Fang remembered his old sister, so he walked in to see her Not here.

There are several groups of square dance dancers in Xiaochishan Park, and they occupy several flat areas across the hills. Lu Fang hasn't seen the old sister after walking for a long time, and happened to come to the foot of a mountain bag. Xu was born in love with Jing Jing and thought of what happened when he was a child. When I was young, there was a temple called Chishan Temple. The entire mountain bag was within the scope of Chishan Temple. The main hall was built on the top of the mountain.

The Chishan Temple was demolished in 1974. Today, the remaining stones and carved pillar foundations can be seen in the grass and trees covered by this hill. There is a stone path at the bottom of the mountain to go up, and there is a pavilion on the top of the mountain. The flat area where the pavilion is located is actually the foundation of the main hall back then, and it is now a landscape in the park.

Lu Fang was ten years old when the Chishan Temple was demolished. She still remembered that she had visited this temple when she was a child, and she went up the hill to recall the past, and she disappeared without knowing it. When she came back to her senses, she realized that it was dark, and that it had been so long since she had been sitting in the pavilion. The wind was very cold at night, so she wrapped her jacket and hurried home.

The husband and son both asked her where she was going. They didn't even go home for dinner and didn't say hello. They couldn't get through. Lu Fang only said that he was passing by Xiaochishan Park to find an old friend who was dancing square dance. After looking for a circle, it was so late, presumably the signal in the park was not very good.

It may be that she caught a cold in the park. Later, she caught a cold and developed a fever. It took more than a week to go to the hospital for a bottle toss. When her illness was almost getting better, one night she had a dream and went to a very strange place. The scenery was a bit like Xiaochishan Park, but when she walked along a stream, she was surrounded by towering trees...

The dream should be a scene at dusk or after dark. Anyway, the light is very dim. She also saw small humanoid things popping out of the ground, making baby-like squeaking sounds... After waking up, she recalled In the scene in the dream, I felt cold and numb in my scalp for some reason. The more I thought about it, the more disturbed I became.

It doesn't matter if she dreams once. After a few days, she dreamed another dream. The dream was still there. After waking up, she didn't dare to sleep, and she became more and more exhausted. The husband heard about this and said she was nervous, but she did not sleep well for many days, and suggested that she go to Yuejiang Temple to burn incense, and then invite a monk with cultivation skills to see.

Yuejiang Temple, on the other side of the river, was built thirty years ago. There was no such temple in Jinghu history. Chishan Temple was demolished in 1974. After the reform and opening up, the Buddhist Association also wanted to rebuild it, but the area had been built as a citizen's park, so it was not approved. If the Xiaochishan Park failed to be built, a group of charitable men and women donated money to build a temple in Jiangbei, whose name was changed to Yuejiang Temple.

According to legend, Tian Xianglong went to the temple to burn incense and met an old monk blocking the way to see the picture. It is said that this happened in Yuejiang Temple. Yuejiang Temple was initially small in scale, but after continuous fund-raising and expansion, it is now a very large temple. It is said that Tian Xianglong has also donated a lot of money to Yuejiang Temple over the years.

When referring to her husband’s suggestion, Lu Fang deliberately emphasized: “Dr. Ding, I am a party member and cadre. I firmly believe in Marxism-Leninism and materialism. I don’t believe in burning incense and worshiping Buddha at all. But my husband insisted on letting me see Look, I also said that it was introduced by an acquaintance. The monks there not only believed in Buddhism, but also knew medical skills. My son also advised them. I went there just to make them feel at ease."

Ding Qi took a few deep breaths in secret and adjusted his mentality. He reminded himself that he is a psychologist. The first thing to solve is not his own confusion, but the other party’s psychological problems. He smiled and nodded: "Yes. Yes, I can understand. After you went to Yuejiang Temple, what was the effect?"

Lu Fang: "Will I use it to find you if it works? My husband's friend introduced me to a monk. The monk heard that I couldn't sleep well, so he gave me a medicine and said that he could Helped sleep. But after I went home, I had such a dream that night, how dare I continue to take that medicine!"

Ding Qi temporarily suppressed his curiosity, and his expression was gentle but also solemnly said: "Mr. Lu, the problem with your registered self-report is insomnia, and the symptoms you and the monks of Yuejiang Temple said are also You can’t sleep well. But your actual symptoms are just the opposite. It’s not that you don’t want to sleep, but you don’t want to sleep and worry about dreaming like that again. The real problem is emotional anxiety."

Lu Fang nodded and said: "Doctor Ding, you are too right! I think about it myself, it’s not that I can’t sleep, but I don’t want to sleep, so I sleep very late every day, and in the end I can’t be sleepy. Yes, of course it’s not good to rest."

Ding Qi: "Although I don’t know what medicine the monks of Yuejiang Temple gave you, if it is medicine to help sleep, it is actually not symptomatic, so it will not solve your problem. I need to be clear now, you How many times have you had such dreams in this month?"

Lu Fang: "A total of three times. I have said that. The first time was a month ago, the second time was three days later, and the third time was the night I came back from Yuejiang Temple. It’s the day before yesterday."

Ding Qi smiled: "In other words, before the last dream, you hadn't had that dream for almost a month, but you still didn't rest well, or you didn't want to sleep every night, right?"

Lu Fang also smiled: "Yes, in fact, I haven't continued to have that dream for a long time. If I don't go to the temple to toss about that time, I will be fine. Dr. Ding, look at me. Where is the problem?"
