Lao Yang Tou was interested, took a sip of wine and said: "Of course I have been there, my old mother also liked to burn incense and worship Buddha back then, and took me to visit the temple fair." I also ate a vegetarian meal at Chishan Temple, and there was a fried pumpkin flower in it, which was so delicious, and it was so fragrant...... Pumpkin Flower can taste meat, and now I drool when I think about it!"

Ding Qi smiled: "Pumpkin flowers are very common in the countryside, and you can make them yourself when you go home." ”

Lao Yang shook his head and said: "It's different, it's different, I was poor when I was a child, I had no oil and water in my stomach, and everything I ate was delicious...... When my grandfather was a child, he told me the story of the monks of Chishan Temple stealing meat to eat. ”

Drinking and chatting is like this, east and west. Ding Qi said curiously: "How do you steal meat to eat? ”

Lao Yang Tou: "There is a night pot under the monk's bed, and there is incense in the room." Cut the meat into small pieces and mix the condiments and put it in the night pot to boil, in the past there was that kind of thick woody fragrance, so use the wood fragrance to put it under the night pot and light it, simmer on a low fire for half the night, the meat will be stewed very badly, that is delicious!"

Ding Qi: "The night pot is the pot used to pee at night, right?"

Lao Yangtou: "Yes, there is a big belly, there is no cover on it, only a big opening next to it, pottery, you young people have never seen it." ”

Tintzy: "Can that thing stew?"

Lao Yang Tou: "The monks are not fools, the stews they bring are all unused new night pots." ”

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

Old Yang Tou: "I haven't seen it, I heard from my grandfather." But the monks of Chishan Temple were really rich, and they could indeed afford to eat meat at that time. I heard that when the Cultural Revolution broke the four olds, the Bodhisattva in the temple was broken, and the silver dollars inside were fluttering all over the ground. Those bodhisattvas have Yuan Datou hidden in their stomachs!"

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

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

In Lao Yangtou's place, Ding Qi still did not find the clues of the Great Red Mountain, but heard many legends about the Red Mountain Temple. Another suspicious clue found by Ding Qi in the ancient books has nothing to do with Da Chi Mountain, but with the place name "Jinghu".

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a celebrity here, a certain outing sighed that he did not meet, secretly had the heart of catechumen, and wrote a travelogue, in which he mentioned a fairy story that circulated locally.

The gist of it is as follows: on a certain day in a certain month and in a certain year, a certain Taoist person got the immortal urn to guide him to seek the trace of the immortals, went to the south of the city for thirty miles, and found the name of the holy realm Xiaojing Lake, the scenery is beautiful, the water travels in the mountains such as the word "zhi", and the three lakes are high and low. The lowest place in the valley is a big lake with clear waves for ten miles, and the scenery is particularly victorious. The Taoist got the fairy bait in the lakeside forest, and rushed away.

The so-called "rushing" refers to soaring into immortals. This is the story of an ancient scholar who is even older than another Taoist.

There are many absurd and bizarre stories written by ancient Chinese scholars, and on the other hand, they follow the principle of "the child is silent, the strange power is chaotic", which seems somewhat contradictory. For a psychologist like Tinzi, such a story is either a metaphor for some kind of life ambition or a depressed obscenity.

For example, Jia Mu in "Dream of Red Mansions" said: "Zuo is just some beautiful talents, and he is the most boring." The openings are all scholarly, and the father is either a scholar or a prime minister, and giving birth to a young lady must be like a treasure. This young lady must be well-read and knowledgeable, and she is actually a peerless beauty. As soon as I saw a handsome man, whether it was a relative or a friend, I remembered the major events of my life......"

More than the arrangement of talented and beautiful women is the arrangement of fairies and ghosts. For example, if a scholar is in a hurry to stay overnight, or to study at night in a certain house, there will be a beautiful vixen to hook up, not only to send family business, money, but even to pull the same beautiful vixen sisters to come and post upside down...... In short, it's this kind of story, arrogant words, arrogant reading, no one really takes it seriously.

Ding Qi didn't take it seriously, but he had been paying attention to the place names in the ancient books recently, and he was almost a little nervous. The "Great Red Mountain" has not been found, and I actually saw the "Xiaojing Lake" in the ancient books.

The city of Sakaiko is named after the lake, which exists in reality and is now located in the center of the city. 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 of that of West Lake, but it is not small, and there is such a pool of clear water in the center of the city, which is also a rare good scenery.

Nowadays, the Lake Park has been built around the lake, and it is also a good place for citizens to relax and play, you can walk on the trail around the lake, or you can go boating in the lake. When Ding Qi and Jiajia were in love, they once ran to the Jinghu Lake to row a couple's boat. However, the ancient book mentions the place name of "Xiaojing Lake", and points out that the location is "thirty miles to the south of the city".

What's more, the celebrity and gentleman's travelogue not only mentions the "fairy bait", but also describes it: "It looks like a giant mushroom, more than a foot high, fleshy, white in color, and has branches like arms." The day is hidden and the night is gone, the moon shines with a sound, and the child cries. ”

This description is similar to the strange creature that Ding Qi saw in Tian Qi's spiritual world. If no one had seen it with their own eyes, they would never have been able to describe it in such detail.

Jinghu City was very small in scale in the Ming Dynasty, and it was only a post town within the jurisdiction of Wanling Prefecture. In the Qing Dynasty, it gradually developed into an important treaty port on the bank of the Yangtze River, becoming increasingly prosperous and becoming the new state capital. Ding Qi found the map of the Ming Dynasty, compared with the current map of Jinghu City, from the ancient town to the south of the drawing of about fifteen kilometers, the place has not yet left the city.

Five hundred years have passed, and today's Jinghu urban area is many times larger than that of the Ming Dynasty. The urban area of Jinghu extends to the north and is blocked by the Yangtze River, and the Jiangbei New Area has been developed after the Yangtze River Bridge has been built in the past ten years. To the south, it was developed even earlier, and that area is now Yuling District, which is still under construction.

Ding Qi took the time to drive his second-hand Passat around the streets and alleys of Yuling District, like a spy stepping on the spot, and also searched various parks and communities, even the construction site under construction, but he did not find the shadow of the "Xiaojing Lake" described in the monuments.

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

But no matter how much he speculated and analyzed, he still couldn't find a clue. Tu Zhi couldn't get an answer there, and Tian Qi might know any clues, but unfortunately Tian Qi had been killed by his own hands. It took money, time and energy, but in the end he got nothing, and Ding Qi had to rest his mind for a while. It's not that he doesn't want to look for it, but he doesn't know how to find it, so let's work hard.

"Mr. Lu, you look very haggard, you don't look well, is there any place I can help you?" This was half a month after drinking and chatting with Lao Yangtou, Ding Qi received a helper.

This lady's name is Lu Fang, 54 years old this year, she is well-dressed and well-maintained, she is the vice president of a large state-owned enterprise, and she is also a leading cadre, and she will retire in another year. Leaders of state-owned enterprises rarely come to see psychologists, and it is estimated that they are more taboo and afraid of people talking about it. And coming to Ding Qi is not very noticeable, and when he calls to make an appointment, he also gets a promise of confidentiality.

Ding Qi's fee is not cheap, and it cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance, Lu Fang registered to make an appointment to find him by name, it seems that there is indeed something, and the problem may be more serious.

Lu Fang replied, "I know Mr. Ye from your hospital, it was a friend of his who recommended Dr. Ding, and I have heard of Dr. Ding's name before. ”

Ding Qi: "It turned out to be recommended by Mr. Ye's friend, do you have any problems that need to be solved? I mean psychological problems." ”

Lu Fang: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I recently had an illness, I always feel a little nervous breakdown, I often have the same dream at night, and I don't rest very well." I heard that Dr. Ding is very good at treating insomnia, so I came to you to try it. ”

Ding Qi smiled gently: "Judging from your statement alone, you are not insomnia, but have a problem with sleep quality." Can you tell me more about the dream?"

Lu Fang: "There's nothing you can't say, it's just that when you walk to a place, surrounded by woods, you can see things like villains popping up on the ground, babbling, and the environment is a little scary." ”

Ding Qi was slightly stunned, and immediately asked: "Can you describe that place specifically, is there any familiar place in reality, and is there any place that is a little similar to it?"

Lu Fang said while thinking: "At first, it was a bit like Xiaochishan Park, Dr. Ding knew that Xiaochishan Park was on the edge of the river in Jinghu City. But it's hard to describe going inside, the trees are all very tall and big, the light is a little dim, and it feels a little gloomy. ”

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

"It's only been a little over the last month or so that I've started dreaming about it. Speaking of this, Lu Fang's tone paused, "It doesn't seem to be the case, listening to your reminder from Dr. Ding, I remember in a trance that I had a similar dream a long time ago, but I can't remember it clearly." ”

This kind of induced trance memory is actually difficult to say is real, so Ding Qi didn't ask any more questions, and changed the topic again: "Have you been to Xiaochishan Park recently?"

Lu Fang: "Yes, I went there recently, and I sat there for a while, and it was dark when I left. Maybe I caught a cold, went home and got sick, and then I started to have that dream a lot. ”

Ding Qi tried his best to relax his expression, looking very serious but not so dignified, and asked, "Mr. Lu, can you tell me why you go to Xiaochishan Park alone and stay until dark?"

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

Tintzy: "Oh, I'm just asking, aren't you going alone?"

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

Lu Fang has not been in a good mood recently, and the superior leader recently talked to her and told her euphemistically that she will gradually fade out of the front-line business from now on, so that the new leaders who will be promoted later will be familiar with and take over the work, which makes her feel very lost.

Many of her old colleagues are now retired, and some people have advised her to rest when she should rest and enjoy her retirement. Just last year, she signed up for and completed the half marathon, and the certificate now hangs on the wall of her office.

An old lady who has retired said that if she dances in the square dance in Xiaochishan Park today, her life will be very lively. That day, Lu Fang went out to run errands in the afternoon, and happened to pass by the gate of Xiaochishan Park when he finished his errand, and heard music coming from inside.

There were many people dancing in the park, not only the old man and the old lady, but many of them looked quite young, Lu Fang remembered her old sister, so she walked in to see if she was there.

There are several groups of square dancers in Xiaochishan Park, and they occupy several flat places across the hills, and Lu Fang walked for a long time without seeing the old lady, and happened to come to the foot of a mountain bag. Xu was touched by the scene and thought of what happened when he was a child. When I was a child, there was a temple here, called Chishan Temple, and the entire mountain package was the scope of Chishan Temple, and the main hall was built on the top of the mountain.

Chishan Temple was demolished in 1974, and the remaining stones and carved pillars can still be seen among the grass and trees of this hill. There is a stone path down the hill and a pavilion at the top. The flat land 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, and she still remembered that she had come to this temple to play when she was a child, climbed the hill to reminisce about the past, and unconsciously lost her mind. When she came back to her senses, she found that it was already dark, that she had been sitting in the gazebo for so long, and that the wind was very cold at night, so she wrapped her coat tightly and hurried home.

Her husband and son both asked her where she was, and she didn't even come home for dinner, didn't say hello, and couldn't get through on the phone. Lu Fang only said that she passed by Xiaochishan Park to find an old friend who was dancing in the square, and after looking around, it turned out to be so late, presumably because the signal in the park was not very good.

Maybe she caught a cold in the park, and then she caught a cold and fever, and went to the hospital to toss the hanging bottle for more than a week. When she was almost cured, she had a dream one night, and came to a very strange place, the scenery was a bit like Little Chishan Park, but further along a stream, there were towering trees all around......

The dream was supposed to be dusk or after dark, but the light was dim anyway, and she saw small humanoid things coming out of the ground and making baby-like squeaks...... When I woke up, I recalled the scene in the dream, and I felt cold and numb in my scalp inexplicably, and the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became.

It didn't matter if she had a dream, but after a few days she had another dream, and the dream was still in that place, and when she woke up, she was a little afraid to sleep, and her spirit became more and more tired. When her husband heard about this, he said that she was nervous, but seeing that she had not slept well for many days, he suggested that she go to Yuejiang Temple to burn incense, and then ask a monk with cultivation to see.

Yuejiang Temple, on the other side of the river, was built 30 years ago, and there was no such temple in the history of Jinghu. Chishan Temple was demolished in 1974, and after the reform and opening up, the Buddhist Association also wanted to rebuild it, but the area had already been built into a public park, so it was not approved. If it could not be repaired in Xiaochishan Park, a group of good men and women donated money to build a temple in Jiangbei, and the name was changed to Yuejiang Temple.

Legend has it that Tian Xianglong went to the temple to burn incense and met an old monk blocking the road to see the face, which is said to have happened in Yuejiang Temple. Yuejiang Temple was small at first, but after continuous fundraising 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: "Doctor Ding, I am a party member and cadre, and I firmly believe in Marxism-Leninism and materialism, and I don't believe in burning incense and worshiping Buddha at all. But my husband insisted that I go and see it, and said that he was introduced by an acquaintance, and that the monks there not only believed in Buddhism, but also knew how to heal, and my son persuaded him to do the same. I went to give them peace of mind. ”

Ding Qi secretly took a few deep breaths and adjusted his mentality, he reminded himself that he was a psychiatrist at the moment, and the first thing to solve was not his own confusion, but the other party's psychological problems, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I can understand." After you went to Yuejiang Temple, what was the effect?"

Lu Fang: "If it really works, do you still use it to find you?" My husband's friend introduced me to a monk, and the monk heard that I couldn't sleep well, so he gave me a pair of medicines, saying that it could help me sleep. But when I got home, I had that dream again that night, how dare I continue to take that medicine!"

Ding Qi temporarily suppressed his curiosity to get to the bottom of it, and said with a very gentle but solemn expression: "Mr. Lu, the problem you reported when you registered was insomnia, and the symptoms you told the monks of Yuejiang Temple were that they couldn't sleep well. But your actual symptoms are the opposite, not that you can't sleep, but that you don't want to sleep, and you worry about having dreams like that again, and the real problem is emotional anxiety. ”

Lu Fang nodded and said, "Doctor Ding, what you said is so right! I think about it carefully, it's not that I can't sleep, but I don't want to sleep, so I sleep late every day, and in the end I'm very sleepy, of course, I can't rest well." ”

Ding Qi: "Although I don't know what medicine the monks of Yuejiang Temple gave you, if it is a medicine to help you sleep, it is actually not the right symptom, so it can't solve your problem." I need to be clear now, how many times have you had those dreams in the past month?"

Lu Fang: "Three times in total, I just said it. The first time was a month ago, the second time was three days apart, and the third time was the night I came back from Yuejiang Temple, that is, the day before yesterday. ”

Ding Qi smiled: "That means that before the last dream, you haven't had that dream for almost a month, but you still don't have a good rest, or you don'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 that time, I guess it will be fine." Dr. Ding, what do you think is wrong with me?"
