Chapter 53: Showers Seal the Road 2
"Back to this master's words, the two of us are here today to ask for an offering tablet for the deceased, and I wish the deceased to die in bliss as soon as possible, and be too safe and healthy in the next life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" In the spacious and bright west side hall, standing side by side with Leng Qing at the entrance door, Liang Shengxiao, who had folded his hands, said gently and politely.
After listening to Liang Shengxiao's answer, the old monk who looked quite kind and kind, and folded his hands folded, said the Buddha number again before he said in a leisurely and gentle tone: "The two donors, if you ask for a tablet to be enshrined in this temple, you need to donate 100 yuan of incense for future worship." ”
Liang Shengxiao did not express the slightest dissatisfaction with the old monk's behavior of asking them to donate incense money, but only kept a smile on his lips and responded gently: "Master, please rest assured, the incense money will be ready when it comes down, and you can donate it after the master has seen the eight characters of the deceased and determined that he can set up a tablet for the deceased in your temple." ”
But after listening to the old monk who seemed to be quite kind and kind-eyed, and folded his hands and said the Buddha's name again, he said in a leisurely and gentle tone: "In this way, please also write down the year of the birth and death of the deceased, so that the old monk can burn incense and pray for the deceased." With that, the old monk Shi Shiran stretched out his hand, spread his palm, and pointed upwards at the four treasures of the study on the long case in front of him.
So, Liang Shengxiao looked sideways at Leng Qing, who was standing side by side with him, and said softly, "Miss Leng, please." ”
On the way to climb the mountain, Liang Shengxiao told Leng Qing that when he stayed at the Reclining Buddha Temple, Leng Qing didn't ask anything, and everything was done by Liang Shengxiao. Leng Qing really didn't understand the rules in this reclining Buddha temple, and after listening to Liang Shengxiao's words at that time, Leng Qing did not object.
Therefore, since entering this western hall, Leng Qing did not intervene from beginning to end, and only let Liang Shengxiao go and talk to the old monk. At this moment, hearing Liang Shengxiao calling her, Leng Qing had a slight reaction-
I saw Leng Qing silently raise her feet and take steps, slowly walked to the long case, and dipped her pen in ink, but when she was about to put down the pen, Leng Qing suddenly froze and didn't move.
Leng Qing suddenly remembered that she seemed to ...... I don't know the birth date of the Mongolian language, at most I only know which year, which month, and which day the Mongolian lunar calendar was born in, as for whether that year is the year of the Lunar New Year or something, Leng Qing can't figure it out at all.
In the 21st century, in addition to those people from the Daomen, Buddhism, and Xuanmen, how many people living in the red world can figure out whether this year is the year of Xinyou or the year of Jiazi or the year of Kuiwei?
But for Leng Qing, it doesn't matter, because Leng Qing will count!
Since ancient times, China has had ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches, referred to as "stem branches", which are derived from the stems and branches of trees.
The ten days are: A, B, C, D, E, H, G, XIN, NON, and DE. The twelve earthly branches are: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.
The 12 earthly branches correspond to the 12 zodiac signs: the rat, the ugly ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the sheep, the monkey, the rooster, the dog, and the pig.
The least common multiple of 10 and 12 is 60, so the 10 heavenly stems and the 12 earthly branches are matched (odd digits with odd digits, even spouse digits), and the minimum can form 60 digits, thus forming 60 stem branches, which are called "sixty stem branches", and are also called "sixty jiazi" or "sixty flower nails" because they start with jiazi. That is:
1. Jiazi;2.Yichou;3.Bingyin;4.Ding Mao;5.Wuchen;6.Jisi;7.Gengwu;8.Xinwei;9.Renshen;10.癸酉;11.Jiaxu;12.Yihai;13.Bingzi;14.Ding Chou;15.Wuyin;16.Jimao;17.Gengchen;18.Xinsi;19.壬午;20.癸未;21.Jiashen;22.Yiyou;23.Bingxu;24.Dinghai;25.Wuzi;26.Jichou;27.Gengyin;28.Xinmao;29.壬辰;30.癸巳;31.Jiawu;32.Yiwei;33.Bingshen;34.Ding You;35.Wuxu;36.Jihai;37Gengzi;38.Xin Chou;39.Ren Yin;40.癸卯;41.Jiachen;42.Yisi;43.Bingwu;44.Ding Wei;45.Wushen;46.Jiyou;47.庚戌;48.Xinhai;49.壬子;50.癸Chou;51.Jiayin;52.Yimao;53.Bingchen;54.Ding Si;55.Wuwu;56.Jiwei;57.Gengshen;58.Xinyou;59.壬戌;60.癸海.
Later, sixty Jiazi was used to record time, that is, the year, the month, the day, and the time, among which the chronological method is the most widely used, and it is still the method of the Chinese summer calendar (lunar calendar), that is, the "Ganzhi chronological method", which is called the lunar calendar (summer calendar) and a certain Ganzhi year. The lunar year does not coincide with the Gregorian calendar year.
The Ganzhi chronology in the ancient Chinese chronology has been used since 54 A.D., and has not been interrupted by the change of dynasties and the division of the country: the cycle cycle is 60 years and one jiazi (or huajia) is calculated. When calculating, as long as you know how many times it has been cycled from now, you can calculate the era of the dry branch at that time.
Leng Qing remembered that when she came to this other world, the 21st century was still 2015, and the year 2015 displayed on the electronic calendar at that time was - Yiwei year.
According to the calculation of the recycling of the Ganzhi chronology, 2015 is the year of Yiwei, so 60 years ago, 1955 was also the year of Yiwei, and 1895 was also the year of Yiwei.
B pushed back 10 digits is B, not pushed back 12 digits is not, Mongolian was born on May 21, 1993 in the lunar calendar, according to the Ganzhi chronology method, so 1993 is the year of the Lunar Unitary.
So, Leng Qing took the pen and wrote the words "癸酉年" on the somewhat yellowed paper in front of her. But after writing the "Year of the Emperor", Leng Qing began to write again.
Although Leng Qing can calculate the Ganzhi era number of the year in which the Mongolian language was born according to the Ganzhi chronology, the calculation of the month and day is ......
Rao is smart as Leng Qing also said that she was a little confused, and she really didn't know how to calculate.
Xu is frowning when he saw that Leng Qing had just written the next year, as if he had encountered some problem, Liang Shengxiao, who was standing on the side holding Zhu Xiao, couldn't help but take the initiative to ask gently: "Miss Leng, what's wrong?"
Sideways, looking at Liang Shengxiao, who was looking at her with a caring face, Leng Qing was silent for a moment, and finally smiled at Liang Shengxiao with some embarrassment, and said, "I...... I don't remember what happened in May......"
Hearing Leng Qing's words, Liang Shengxiao did not show any intention of making fun of her, but smiled gently as the wind as always, and said with a warm smile: "May of the year of the Lunar New Year is the month of the year. ”
As for why Liang Shengxiao was able to calculate that May of the Year of Gui You was Ji Wei Yue, Leng Qing didn't ask, but just bowed her head and wrote the words "Ji Wei Yue" next to the "Ji You Year" on the somewhat yellowed paper in front of her.
After writing, Leng Qing turned her head to look at Liang Shengxiao, who was always smiling gently, who was standing beside her, and smiled at Liang Shengxiao with some embarrassment and asked, "I still have to ask Liang Gongzi...... What is the 21st?"
"Renchen. The answer to Leng Qing was the gentle and shallow smile of Liang Shengxiao's simple two words.
When Leng Qing heard this, she immediately smiled gratefully at Liang Shengxiao, and then Leng Qing turned her head and wrote the words "Renchen Day" next to "Ji Weiyue" on the somewhat yellowed paper in front of her.
When you're done writing about the days, it's time to write the hours.
Although Leng Qing remembered the order of the twelve hours, especially after arriving in this other world, Leng Qing remembered the twelve hours in her heart, but when it came to writing the hours, Leng Qing was still very difficult.
Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, each of the twelve hours corresponds to the time, Leng Qing clearly remembers, including when the Mongolian language was born, Leng Qing also remembers. But if Leng Qing really wants to write the time on the Mongolian characters, Leng Qing really doesn't know how to put pen to paper.
What is the "Cadre Branch Chronology Method"? That is, whether it is a year, a month, a day, or an hour, it has a "stem" and a "branch."
It is like the date of birth in Mongolian: 1993 is the year of the Emperor, May is the month of Jiwei, and the 21st is the day of Renchen. In the years, months and days of this Ganzhi chronology, the former is the main "stem", the latter is the main "branch", and the hour on the Mongolian characters is also two words, which is not a hasty writing of a "sub-hour" or a "noon".
Of course, the time branch is fixed, that is, Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai. But the dry number has its order, and Leng Qing ...... Won't you count the dry number of hours......
Wu Zi was distressed for a while, and as a last resort, Leng Qing had to turn her head again to look at Liang Shengxiao, who was always smiling gently, standing beside her, and tried to smile and ask Liang Shengxiao: "That...... Liang Gongzi, what is the dry number of the future??"
On that side, hearing Leng Qing's inquiry, he did not hesitate to do so, this time Liang Shengxiao was silent for a few seconds before smiling and gently replying to Leng Qing's two words: "Ding Wei." ”
After getting Liang Shengxiao's answer, Leng Qing didn't doubt it, and directly turned her head and wrote the words "Ding Weishi" next to "Renchen Ri" on the somewhat yellowed paper in front of her.
Although Leng Qing can't count the month, day, and hour, but fortunately, Leng Qing always remembers that this is not the 21st century, but a different ancient world, so Leng Qing's writing order is from right to left.
With the help of Liang Shengxiao, it was very difficult to write down the birth and death year of Mongolian language, Leng Qing put down the brush in his hand, and respectfully said to the old monk who looked quite kind and kind and folded his hands behind the long case: "This is the birth and death year of my late sister, and I ask the master to help me look at it." ”
On that side, the old monk who looked quite kind and kept his hands together did not answer Leng Qing's words, but only stared at the ink on the long case.
And on this side, Leng Qing saw that the old monk didn't even turn the direction of the paper, Leng Qing couldn't help muttering in her heart: Look at the words like this...... Can you really see what she wrote???
However, in the end, I heard that the old monk who looked quite kind and had his hands folded said to Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing in a warm voice: "Two donors, dare to ask the name of the deceased? ”
Hearing the old monk's words, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing glanced at each other in unison, and they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes - this is done!
So, Leng Qing hurriedly replied in a humble tone: "Mongolian." The misty cloud, the language of birds and flowers. ”
When Leng Qing said the word "Mongolian", the old monk standing behind the long case didn't have any special reaction, and only nodded slightly, indicating that he knew, but Liang Shengxiao, who was standing next to Leng Qing, looked sideways at Leng Qing slightly when he heard Leng Qing's words, with a faint puzzle in his eyes.
Following the guidance of the old monk, Leng Qing took the yellowed paper on which she had written the year of birth and death in Mongolian, and followed Liang Shengxiao to the merit pool.
It is said that it is a merit pool to go to, but it is actually a small hall behind the merit pool that I went to. There is a merit box in that small hall, which is specially set up for pilgrims who come to the temple to ask for the tablet to donate incense money.
In the small hall, there is a little monk with a round head and a round brain, whose face looks quite kind, with a smile on his eyebrows and eyes, which is very attractive. However, the little monk with a round head and a round brain was a ghost, and he only waited to see Liang Shengxiao put ten taels of silver ingots with white flowers into the merit box in the hall before he stepped forward to take the piece of paper that Leng Qing was holding in his hand.
"Please wait a while for the two donors, and the little monk will go and ask the master to set up a tablet. Leaving this sentence with a smile, the little monk with a round head and a round head ran away with the next piece of paper from Leng Qing's hand.
It wasn't until he saw the little monk with a round head and a round brain running out of the palace gate that Liang Shengxiao turned his head slightly, and asked Leng Qing in a gentle voice: "The old man in Miss Leng's mouth is Miss Leng's...... Sister?"
On this side, Leng Qing turned her eyes to Liang Shengxiao's gentle gaze, and she didn't need to think much to understand why Liang Shengxiao asked.
So, I saw Leng Qing smile at Liang Shengxiao, and replied: "It's a sister and it's not a sister." ”
When Liang Shengxiao showed the meaning of inquiry, Leng Qing continued in a leisurely tone: "I lost my parents when I was a child, but fortunately I was adopted by my adoptive parents to grow up. Mongolian...... She is the daughter of my adoptive parents, a few months younger than me, and she has had a very good relationship with me since she was a child, and she has always treated me as a real sister, and I have treated her as a real sister. ”
Hearing Leng Qing's words, Liang Shengxiao was silent for a while before opening her mouth, and said in a somewhat low tone: "Leng Girl's Day is mourning." ”
However, Leng Qing smiled back at Liang Shengxiao, who had a gloomy face, and replied easily: "It doesn't matter whether you mourn or not, Yiren has been gone for a long time, and I am only here today to ask for peace of mind for myself." ”
When Liang Shengxiao heard this, she pursed her lips, smiled slightly, and said softly: "With a sister like you, if she knows Jiuquan, she will be happy to come." ”
Leng Qing didn't answer Liang Shengxiao's words, but just turned her eyes and quietly looked out of the sunny hall, feeling a little sad in her heart: Are you grateful? She doesn't want Mengyu to be relieved under the nine springs, she wants Mengyu to come back to life, and she can continue to laugh and go crazy with her! But Mengyu can't live...... So the rest, it didn't matter to her.
