Chapter 3 Luo Sanpao
Zhao Datou's story said this, the wine was hot, so he simply opened his coat and beckoned to the shopkeeper, shouting: "Two catties of lotus white, two strings of big waists, a pot of choppy soup with more dry, less thin." "I also drank so much that my whole body felt warm and hot, and the breeze outside the store blew, which was very pleasant, so I pinched a broad bean casually, threw it into my mouth, and asked, "What about your father?" Zhao Datou first made a big bowl of lotus white, put his right leg directly on the wooden table, and then took a big bite of dried tofu with chopsticks before saying: " Later, my father lived in the temple of the broken stove at the bottom of the mountain, and during the day he went outside with the flower child to ask for food, and went to the mountain to dig the grave and open the coffin at night, although he was hungry and full every day, but the smoking addiction was much better, and most of the burials there were some bitter masters who had no money, although my father had never dug up any valuable treasures there, but he had never encountered zongzi, until that day... ”
It is said that since Father Zhao came down from the mass grave post, he lived in the Stove King Temple under the gang, and dealt with a group of children called Huazi all day long, although the quality of life was not as good as before, but it would not be looked at by the people in the village, although the food was the leftovers of other people's families, but it was better than the usual starvation, and since he wore the grass insect ring on his hand, his addiction to smoking has been much smaller, and his body seems to have gradually gained strength, and his eyes have gradually become bright, especially on the second day of living in the broken temple, he even ate the meat with a lot of oil。
As the saying goes: "To cast a net is to cast a head-on net, and to open a boat, to open a boat with a top wind". The meaning of this sentence is that no matter what you do, you must have a brave and fearless spirit, and you must have the courage to do your best. It's the same with being called Hanako, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, so a beggar who doesn't want to beg for meat is not a good beggar. In the Stove King Temple where Father Zhao is located, there is such a master who has the ability to get meat, this person is named Luo Sanpao, nicknamed "Sancang". According to him, when he was born, his mother had a difficult birth, at this time there was a sudden thunder outside the sky, three lightning bolts exploded the sky one after another, and the three cannons also fell, at that time there was a passing Taoist priest just passing by, saw a vision in the sky, and heard the sound of a baby crying, knowing that the birth at this time was not an ordinary person, either a fairy or a demon, so he knocked on the door and entered. The Taoist priest looked at the child, his eyes were like stars, his lips were like fat, and there was a sense of righteousness between his eyebrows, and he deduced that this person must be a god of heaven, and his fate was filled with fireworks.
In fact, anyone who understands knows that the story of the three guns is purely nonsense, no matter how there is a Taoist priest in the world who can casually go to the mother's inner room to see her give birth, that can be a taboo thing, at least he will be beaten by the mouth, and at the worst he will be dragged by the village people to the mountain god in front of the pig cage; let's talk about all the children in this world, no matter how poor you are born, whether you are a god or a monster in the world, all babies are born with vitality almost all of them are crying, looking like a little bad old man, which is like a starIt's nice to be able to open your eyes and look at you. The reason why Sanpao talked about his life experience with others was nothing more than to improve his status among the beggars. In those turbulent years, who didn't have his own story, and said that the three cannons were righteous, and he was handsome, and all the beggars were very obedient to him. In fact, as long as you have been on the green forest road for a while, you will know that the two words "three guns" represent not a person's name, but another name for the Northeast Tuhuzi.
In the early years, the Northeast was full of bandits, each mountain had its own mountain handle, and each village had its own leader, you didn't obey me, I didn't obey you, so I often fought hard, and tried to get some second-hand earth cannons from the military commanders, and the earth firearms came to grow the formation, but these second-hand mountain artillery often hit the squibs, and the quality was not guaranteed, and the bandits on the other side often laughed at the squibs and called them "dumb mountain artillery" After a long time, they directly called the other party's native beard mountain artillery, and later the bandit leaders felt that the word mountain artillery was unlucky, after all, most of the bearded people rely on the mountain to eat, and the mountain is blown up, so the mountain artillery is called the third artillery.
Sanpao has never joined the bandits' den, he was sold by traffickers to a Jianghu to play tricks since he was a child, and the one who ran the rivers and lakes used to dig a mallet in the Northeast, and then lost a lot of money, so he went to get a box cannon and ran to the mountains as a bandit for a while, he saw that the child was handsome but had not yet given a name, so he casually named him Sanpao. After that, the three guns began to practice the three watches every day, and the five watches began to practice, although he often had to be whipped, but the heart of the show was not bad, and he was never hungry. Later, when Sanpao went to Tianjin with his master to practice, he heard others say that Luo Shixin picked Wei Wentong with a gun, and he was so addicted that he added a surname and called himself Luo Sanpao. Later, Luo Sanpao followed Master Ze to the north and south, and he grew a lot of knowledge, and he became stronger, his body and bones began to run upward, and his appearance became more and more handsome, but he didn't expect that it was because of Luo Sanpao's delicate appearance, but he almost caused a fatal disaster.
In the last years of the Republic of China, the situation was turbulent, and the victims were constantly affected in various places, and the business of running the rivers and lakes was really unbearable, so they were ready to sell the three guns again, and then each ran to their own future, so they planted a grass on the head of the three guns. He glanced at Luo Sanpao who was standing there at a loss, and he couldn't help but stop, and sighed, he personally stepped over and pushed the small round sunglasses on the bridge of his nose up, and looked at the three cannons from head to foot, and didn't move his head, so he asked the child who was selling art how old he was, and whether he had any illness in his life experience; As he spoke, he pulled out the mouth of the three guns with his hand. The rich man's head moved slightly, and without looking, he swung the fan back three times in his hand, and then turned his head and left. The people who ran the rivers and lakes thought that this master was not satisfied, and wanted to run over to be lively, but he didn't think that a housekeeper-like person walked out of the crowd, took out a handful of silver dollars from his arms and gave it to the performer, and said sharply: "You are lucky today, our master has this child." After speaking, he took the three guns in his hand in one hand and prepared to turn around and leave. The entertainer was overjoyed when he saw that there were so many silver dollars in his hands, but after all, he had been with the three guns for a few years, and he had more or less feelings, so he hurriedly leaned over and asked: "Dare to ask this master, what are you going to do with this kid, he is in good health, and he can do any work." The butler-like man first took out a handkerchief from his arms, put it in front of his face and waved it, and replied: "Don't worry, this child will not be hungry or tired in the future, just accompany our old lady all day long." After speaking, he picked up the stunned little three guns and wanted to leave. At this time, the smiling face on the face of the running rivers and lakes suddenly dimmed, and when the housekeeper was not leaving, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and asked, "Dare to ask whether you live or die." The housekeeper replied disdainfully: "What should be dead or alive is just to be a guide boy, where is so much nonsense." After speaking, he threw the handkerchief directly to the ground, led the little three guns, turned around and left without looking back. When the running rivers and lakes heard the four words of the boy, the person suddenly froze there, and looked at the little third cannon in a daze as he was taken away by the housekeeper, and when he couldn't see the little third can't see the little head, he suddenly shouted: "Three can't help you." His knees suddenly weakened, and he fell to his knees, holding the bag of silver dollars in both hands, and buried his head deep in the ground, and began to cry.
The housekeeper's mouth said that the boy is actually the child who accompanied the dead to be buried in ancient times and helped him ascend to heaven and cross the river to become a Buddha and become an immortal. Taking the living to bury people has been existing since the Qin Dynasty, although after Wu Zetian ascended the throne in the Tang Dynasty, this method of burial was once resisted, but in the Ming Dynasty, it was restored to death, and it was not completely abolished until the Qing Dynasty. However, many feudal and superstitious families still insist on believing that burying the living can bring them to the underworld to serve them, and even came up with the idea of burying children to help them become immortals.
The Pure Land sect of Buddhism believes that after death, if a person's cultivation is perfect, he can fly to the Western Heaven Elysium and give the lotus pedestal. "The so-called nine-rank lotus platform is the highest level of lotus pedestal that practitioners can obtain in the Western Heavens, and all those who have passed away in the Elysian World can sit on different levels of lotus pedestals according to the size of their merits, and the nine-rank lotus is honored, which is divided into Vajra Terrace, Zijin Terrace, Seven Treasure Lotus, Treasure Lotus, etc. Those who can sit on the nine-rank lotus can become Buddhas, and those who can surpass the nine-rank lotus platform are only the twelve-grade golden lotus platform where the Western Heaven Supreme Ri Rulai sits. Of course, if the deceased had done something harmful to heaven and reason before his death, then the deceased soul would not be able to cross the Qibao Lotus Pond safely, and would be dissipated by the Vajra Nara there with a thunder hammer and could not be reincarnated for eternity, and the so-called Lotus Carrying Boy was to let those children who were sacrificed alive fly over the Qibao Lotus Pond first, and after arriving at the Western Heaven Elysium, they carried their own lotus pedestals to pick up the souls of the deceased, so as to be safely extradited across the river.
Although the name of the lotus boy is very elegant, the production process is indeed very complicated and cruel. First of all, it must be a pair of golden boys and girls, it is recorded in the Hetuluo book, the earth is four gold, the sky is ninety, the sky is five earth, and the earth is ten, so the boy must be only nine or four years old, to correspond to the gold in the five elements, and the girl must be five or ten years old, corresponding to the earth in the five elements, that is, jade, after the selection, in order to prevent them from escaping from the control of the tomb owner after death, they must take mercury and slowly infuse it into their veins while they are alive, so that the blood slowly pushes the mercury to spread to every inch of the skin, so as to ensure that the child's body is not damaged when it dies, and then lock their throats with iron rings, and stuff the side of the lock into the hands of the tomb ownerto ensure that the tomb owner can still control them in the Western Elysium. But the one who ran the rivers and lakes knew that Xiao Luo Sanpao was ten years old that year, and he was not qualified to be a lotus-carrying boy, so the guide boy in the housekeeper's mouth could only refer to the Dharma Body Boy, and the production process of the Dharma Body Boy was even more cruel and abnormal.
The Dharmakaya boy is also derived from the Pure Land sect of Buddhism. This Pure Land Sect was originally a regular sect adhering to the precepts of Buddhism and strictly abiding by the ten precepts of Buddhism, but later after the White Lotus Sect, which was founded by Shi Huiyuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Liu Zhimin and others in Lushan Donglin Temple, there began to be disagreements within the Pure Land Sect, and the sect began to tend to intervene in the secret organizations against the Qing Dynasty, and many superstitious legends and various cults began to appear, and the Dharma Body Boy was one of them.
According to the Buddhist scriptures "in the Ahama Sutra" recorded, once unified the world of the four seas of the wheel of the holy king Bin head Sala, the head hangs **, the foot of the wheel, has a husband, the adult phase, four or eight phases, the master phase, the husband phase, a total of 32 phases, and then the Buddha Shakyamuni came to the world, suddenly a round of fiery red gold wheel from the sky has been hanging on the head of the Buddha since then, immediately by the Brahmin immortals prophesied as a powerful wise man. Therefore, it is said that the people who have become Buddhas in later generations have a certain number of Dharma bodies, and the number varies, but the number of supreme treasures that cannot be surpassed by the thirty-two phases.
And the role of the Dharma Body Boy is actually to give the tomb owner a Dharma body appearance, and the production method is extremely cruel and abnormal, and the non-religious inner room is unknown. First of all, according to the size of the tomb owner's face, choose a boy whose face is a little smaller than the tomb owner, and the better the boy looks, the better the quality of the tomb owner's appearance, and the higher the Taoism. Then, the boy is kept well until the tomb owner dies, and then someone will carefully cut off the tomb owner's face with a knife and place it in a special potion to moisturize it for a short time, and then the boy's face will be completely cut off, and then the boy's face will be gently covered on the tomb owner's face to become the tomb owner's Dharma body, and finally the tomb owner's face will be sewn back in place with needles and threads; in order to ensure that the child's face does not become stiff or broken, the child's face must be taken off from the child's face alive, not cut off. The so-called peeling does not refer to the usual sense of scalding the skin inch by inch with an iron drop and then pulling it off; but first let the boy lie on a wooden bed, the bed saws a face-sized hole, press his head there, tie the limbs, and then use a sharp knife to cut out a narrow and long slit from the back of his neck to the chin, and then use dozens of bamboo sticks with iron hooks at the tail of one meter long to insert them from the gap, and then the bamboo stick head will be directly inserted from the cervical vertebrae to the lumbar vertebrae without hurting the boy's spine, and the hook will be hung in the flesh skin of the neck circle, at this time although the boy was cut off a lot of flesh and began to bleed profusely, but did not hurt the vital point, so he will not die immediately, to ensure the freshness of the skin, and then wait until the density of the number of hooks reaches saturation, and then hook the heads of those hooks with silk threads, let people hold the waist of the child, and the other person pulls in the opposite direction at the same time, and a complete and fresh face is taken off.
Not much to say, just say that this little Luo Sanpao was brought back to the rich man's house by the housekeeper and was offered with good food and drink, and the slaves and gardeners inside and outside the whole house all knew that this little boy would be the Dharma body of the future big master. But the strange thing is that the rich man thought that his eldest lord's health was dying, so he bought the three cannons into the house, but since the three cannons entered this house, the old man's illness was cured, and his eyes began to color, and the three cannons were crooked and became the eldest lord's guests; 。 Let's not talk about anything else, just the sea where the house is blessed to prepare snacks for the three guns.
