Chapter 265: Broken Pen Stick
Soon after, the three of them came to the Huanglong Temple at the foot of Huanglong Mountain.
For Huanglong Temple, Wang Guan has also heard of it, but he has not come to see it. Don't look at this temple as well-known in the feelings of ordinary people, but in Buddhism, it is one of the five families and seven sects of the Huanglong Ancestral Garden.
These five sects and seven schools refer to the five schools of the Rinzai sect, the Caodong sect, the Weiyang sect, the Yunmen sect, and the Fayan sect, plus the Huanglong sect and the Yangqi sect that were separated from the Rinzai sect, which are collectively called the seven sects.
In ancient times, the Huanglongzong was very prosperous, and its influence even spread overseas, until now there are branches of the Huanglongzong in Southeast Asian countries. It's a pity that after the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Huanglong Temple, as the ancestral garden, inevitably declined.
It was not until the early nineties that the dilapidated Huanglong Temple was rebuilt and restored with a little vitality. However, the momentum is less than one percent of that of ancient times, and although it attracts many Buddhists to pay homage every year, it has very little influence among the people. Or neighboring cities and counties may have heard of this Huanglong Temple, but outside the scope of the province, I am afraid that they do not know it.
Of course, these things are not for Wang Guan to worry about. After coming to Huanglong Temple, he and Peng Cheng bought a bundle of incense and worshiped all the way. After passing through the Buddha Hall, Guanyin Hall, Patriarch Hall and other places, I visited the handwriting of the legendary Huang Tingjian's handwriting, as well as the cliff carvings in various places.
When walking through a place, Huang Ting suddenly pointed to the mountain and said, "Look at that, there is also Li Guo's tomb on it." ”
"Li Guo? Who? Peng Cheng said inexplicably.
"It's Li Guo, a very famous person, who seems to be the leader of the rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty, and then he went to Huanglong Temple to become a monk when he was defeated......" Huang Ting explained, but she didn't get to the point.
"Oh!" Peng Cheng responded, and seemed to understand. Actually, I don't know. thought that this Li Guo was a nobody.
However, Wang Guan reacted and said in surprise: "What you said about Li Guo." Could it be Li Zicheng's nephew? ”
"Yes, yes, that's him." Huang Ting nodded hurriedly.
Peng Cheng's history is not very good, scratching his head and saying: "Li Zicheng I know." and Wu Sangui robbed Chen Yuanyuan's person, but does he have a nephew? ”
"There must be." Wang Guan said with some pity: "If you go back and turn down the history book, you will know how powerful Li Guo is." ”
"That's it." Huang Ting agreed: "Li Guo is a very famous anti-Qing general, who once commanded an army of more than 100,000 in Xiushui to fight against Qing soldiers......"
"Cut, in the end, it's not a failure, I can only become a monk in the middle." Peng Cheng said disdainfully.
This is also very true, not to judge heroes by success or failure, but just to comfort themselves by losers. Wang Guan nodded lightly, and said with some curiosity: "Is Li Guo's grave here?" I don't really know about it yet. ”
"It's only been verified in the last two years." Huang Ting smiled: "To be honest. Whether it's true or not, we don't have a score, but some experts came to see it and took a lot of historical materials. It proves that the place above is Li Guo's grave. ”
"How to prove it? Is there a name written on the stele? Wang Guan asked.
Huang Ting shook her head and said, "The words on the tablet have weathered. There is only one plum character left. ”
"Wang Guan, you are so curious. Let's take a look at it above. Peng Cheng suggested.
"Okay." Wang Guan said with interest: "I just don't know if I want to go up and visit." ”
"It's okay, it's not a key protected area above, you can go up and see it casually." Huang Ting smiled, beckoned them to go around the mountain, climbed on the overgrown slope for a while, and came to the cemetery of Li Guo.
Wang Guan stopped to look, only to see that the tomb was made of granite stone, but the tombstone had been removed and placed in a mess. There is also a visible hole in the tomb.
"What's going on?" Wang Guan was stunned and said: "This tomb seems to have been dug up, was it like this before?" ”
"That's not right." Huang Ting was also very surprised: "When I came to see it before, this stone tablet was still fine, how could it become like this?" ”
"Xiaoting, how long have you not come to see?" Peng Cheng looked at it, shook his head and said, "The mud in the hole is all dry, and it looks like it has been dug up for a long time." ”
"When I heard that this was Li Guo's grave, I came to see it curiously, it seems that it has been two years." Huang Ting smiled embarrassedly, and then said angrily: "I don't know who did it, it's too much to dig someone's grave." ”
"The method is rude and so unprofessional, it should be that some local people are greedy for profit, thinking that there are burial goods in the celebrity cemetery, so they secretly dig it up. They also don't want to think about what valuable things can be in the tomb of a monk who has become a monk halfway? ”
Wang Guan shook his head and frowned: "However, such a rampant behavior, no one in the local area cares?" Not to mention catching the tomb robbers, at least the grave must be repaired. ”
"Without clear instructions, it's too late to prevaricate, who wants to meddle." Peng Cheng sneered: "Wang Guan, you don't understand the style of the organ, don't seek merit, but seek no fault." Whoever cares about this means that it is his responsibility, and it becomes asking for his own suffering. ”
"That's why the inaction of certain institutions is more harmful than the saboteurs." Wang Guan sighed a little.
At this time, Peng Cheng shook his head and said: "Don't worry about the country and the people, we can't manage this matter, and it won't be our turn to take care of it." If you've scolded enough, let's leave, the tombstones have been picked up, and there's nothing to look at. ”
"Well, let's go." Wang Guan turned around in disappointment and slowly walked down the mountain.
After walking for a while, there were suddenly branches and leaves surging in the dense jungle next to them, which immediately startled the three of them, and they hurriedly stopped and looked over with a little vigilance.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a traditional robe brushed aside a branch and leaf, slowly walked out, and directly greeted Wang Guan and them, and everyone was stunned.
At the same time, seeing the appearance of the person who came, Huang Ting hesitated and shouted: "The four masters ......"
"Huh?" The man was stunned, his eyes moved to look at Huang Ting, a touch of contemplation flashed in his eyes, and only after half a sound did he suddenly say, "You are the girl of the old seventh family." ”
"That's right." Huang Ting smiled: "Hello four masters, this is my boyfriend Peng Cheng, and his friend ......"
"Four masters!"
Hearing that this person was Huang Ting's elder, Peng Cheng hurriedly called out humbly.
The man glanced at it, nodded slightly, and then said lightly: "You guys are visiting the Huanglong Temple?" There are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants on the mountain, so don't run around, go down quickly. ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man ignored them and disappeared into the jungle.
Seeing this situation, Peng Cheng frowned, and said with some worry: "Xiaoting, are you, the fourth master, dissatisfied with me." ”
"Don't guess." Huang Ting hurriedly comforted her, and then whispered: "I, the fourth master, have a very strange temper, and I rarely interact with everyone, even if I am not satisfied with you, I will not say bad things about you everywhere." ”
"That's fine." Peng Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said a little strangely: "Xiaoting, what do you do as the four masters, how do you dress up like this...... Retro. ”
"Well, it seems to be called a geomaster." Huang Ting half-understood and said: "It's to help people look at feng shui." ”
"To be precise, it is a feng shui master who senses the operation of the earth's qi, surveys the geographical context of mountains and rivers, and finds dragon points for people." Wang Guan explained: "Didn't you see him holding a compass in his hand just now, most likely looking for a treasure of feng shui." ”
"Ah......" Peng Cheng suddenly realized, a touch of disapproval flashed in his eyes, obviously he didn't have a good impression of this superstitious thing. But in front of Huang Ting, he didn't show it.
Huang Ting didn't notice it, and after glancing at the time, she smiled and said, "It's almost noon, let's go back to eat." ”
When Wang Guan heard this, he hesitated and said, "This ...... I don't have to go along. ”
"Wang Guan, what are you polite, it's just a meal, there's no need to feel embarrassed."
While speaking, Peng Cheng put his arm around Wang Guan's shoulders and whispered in his ear: "You guy, you want to escape again." I'm going to curse people for being so unrighteous......"
"It's good for you to suffer yourself, why bother to pull me to suffer." Wang Guan said helplessly.
"No matter, I'm not upset, don't you want to run ......" Peng Cheng shook his head and dragged Wang Guan down the mountain.
Soon after, the three returned to Huang's house, where Huang's father was busy in the kitchen. Seeing this situation, there was no need to say hello, Peng Cheng ran to help wash the dishes with a smile.
When cooking and stir-frying, I have a lot of fun, but when it comes to eating, I obviously become more cautious. Anyway, after this meal, Wang Guan was very uncomfortable, but he was definitely much better than Peng Cheng.
After nearly an hour, the uncomfortable lunch was over. Then, everyone sat in the hall, and there was a small talk about whether they were paired or not, mainly Huang Mu was asking, and Peng Cheng answered.
Wang Guan was willing to help beside him, but he was afraid that Huang Mu would feel dissatisfied, so he simply kept silent. However, Huang's father did not forget what he said in the morning, and after washing the dishes and chopsticks, he came to chat with Wang Guan.
After chatting for a while and talking about Wang Guan's work, Huang's father suddenly flashed his eyes and said, "You work in an antique shop, so you should know more about ancient things." ”
"I don't know much, but I can usually recognize it." Wang Guan said modestly, and suddenly his heart moved, and he looked at Father Huang, vaguely feeling that he might not have suffered in vain today.
"You wait......"
At this moment, Huang's father stood up, walked out of the living room, and walked back a few minutes later, but there was a small flat box in his hand.
Seeing this, Huang Mu frowned and said, "What are you doing with this thing, you don't give up." ”
"What is not dead, I just let Xiao Wang see it and see if he knows what this thing is." Father Huang argued, then handed the long flat box to Wang Guan, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang, take a look." ”
"What's so nice about a bad pen." Huang Mu snorted, and broke the mystery in one word.
"Alas......"
Wang Guan sighed in his heart, and a pleasant feeling of personally revealing the mystery was suddenly gone.
Immediately, Wang Guan shook his head imperceptibly, settled down, and gently opened the flat long box, only to see a brush shaft more than 20 centimeters long placed in it. The reason why it is said to be a brush barrel is because the tip of the pen tip has been bald, and only a shallow section of hair is embedded in the nib......
