One of Macau's famous attractions, A-Ma Pavilion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Erwu and Meng Qianqian made an appointment to meet here.

A-Ma Temple is located in the southeast of the Macao Peninsula, built along the coast, with the mountains and the sea at its back, the Shishi Town Gate, and the eaves in the sky, and is one of the three major Zen temples in Macau. Legend has it that during the Song Dynasty, there was a filial daughter Lin Mo Niang in Putian, Fujian, who could predict good luck and evil, and sacrificed her body in a shipwreck, and became an immortal. Later, he often appeared on the sea to help merchants and fishermen eliminate disasters and solve problems in the stormy seas, so that people could save the day. Because of his kindness, the fishermen respected as the god of the sea and the queen of heaven, and set up temples to worship.

"Why did you ask me to come here?" Meng Qianqian wondered.

"Hehe, because it's easier to find here! I'm an outsider, and I don't know much about it. Wang Erwu smiled.

"Isn't the Ruins of St. Paul's easier to find? And it's close, too! ”

"Sister Qianqian, actually, there are two reasons why I chose to come here, the first reason ......" Wang Erwu paused, "because I opened the map and saw this place at first glance. ”

Meng Qianqian's laughter is really not high, just like that, she is actually happy.

"The second reason is that I want to come here and pray for blessings."

"Prayer? For me? Meng Qianqian asked.

Wang Erwu nodded, "Do you know the story of Mazu?" ”

"Of course I do! I grew up in Macau, so naturally I heard a lot of stories about Mazu. ”

"Heard all the stories?"

"I've heard it all!"

"Since you've heard it, I won't say more, you know the story of Mazu opening up the wasteland to sow vegetables and the people, I'm ......"

"I don't think I've heard of this!" Meng Qianqian interrupted Wang Erwu's words.

Wang Erwuyi was stunned, "Didn't you say that you had heard of it?" Oh, that's right! Forget, Mazu is not from Macau, there must be some stories that have not been passed on to Macau, haha. ”

Meng Qianqian didn't know if it was true or not, and nodded.

Wang Erwu began to tell.

Mazu's real name is Lin Mo, and during the Song Dynasty, one day, Lin Mo toured to the southwest of Meizhou Island, a small island called "Caiyu".

She saw a gray-haired old woman with a wild herb in her hand, looking between the rocks as if she were looking for something, so she came up to her and asked, "What are you looking for here, old aunt?" ”

"Hey! I'm looking for this herb. The old woman raised a wild vegetable in her hand, straightened her waist and said, "I searched for a long time, searched all over the island, and finally found such a plant." ”

"Where are you from? What are you looking for this herb for? Lin Mo asked.

The old woman sighed again and said with a bitter face: "I am from Meizhou. The other day, a seven-year-old grandson of mine suddenly lost his sight and couldn't see anything. Please take a look at it, it is a rare and strange disease, and there is no cure. My grandson has no abba or grandfather since he was a child, and they went to beg for the sea, but they were gone. Now only this lifeline is left, with eyes and no beads, and it is extremely pitiful. ”

Lin Mo asked again, "Why don't you go to seek medical treatment?" ”

The old woman said: "My family is poor and poor, and it is difficult to move an inch, so I have to ask the land lord for protection. Last night, the land trust dreamed, saying that he would come to this nameless island to find a kind of purple gold cabbage that blooms and bears fruit all year round, and go back to fry water and drink, and it can be cured. ”

"Didn't you find one?" Lin Mo asked again.

The old woman said worriedly: "There is only one plant on the whole island, if I pull it back, the purple cabbage will become extinct, and if someone wants to use it in the future, it will be gone." ”

"And what are you going to do?" Lin Mo deliberately tested her.

"I want to find a good place to plant this rapeseed so that it can be passed on to future generations."

"What about your grandson's eye disease?"

"Take the rapeseed and plant it, and bring the leaves and stems back to fry the water."

"Old aunt, you have such a good heart. I'm here to help you! Lin Mo took the purple cabbage and looked at it, and there were indeed several pods of rapeseed on it. She picked all the vegetable pods and rubbed them with her hands, only to see the golden rapeseeds, shining in the sun, very beautiful. She put the rapeseed in the palm of her hand, put her hands together, bowed a few times to the east, west, south, and north, recited the words in her mouth, shook it a few times, and then blew lightly with her mouth, and the rapeseed flew away - and it was automatically sown on the ground.

Strange to say, in the blink of an eye, rapeseed took root and sprouted, broke through the soil, and soon covered the hills, and spread all over the small island.

The old woman saw that the island had suddenly changed - there were purple cabbages growing everywhere, and she looked at it carefully, some of them bloomed, and some of them bore fruit, and she felt very curious. She expected that the girl in front of her was not a mortal, so she asked her, "Where did the fairy girl come from?" What's your last name? ”

"My surname is Lin Mingmo, and I live in Xin'anli. Old aunt, you quickly collect medicine and go back, it is important to treat your grandson! ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the Divine Gu Lin Mo. Thank you for planting medicine to save people! The old woman knelt down and kowtowed, and Lin Mo hurriedly helped her up.

"Old aunt, Caizi was born to raise it, what are you thankful for? Hurry up and go back! Lin Mo turned and went down to the beach, and went on a boat cruise.

The old woman picked a few purple cabbage plants and rowed a small sampan by herself. As soon as I got home, I quickly took the vegetables and fried them in water. The youngest grandson drank vegetable soup once and was able to identify his relatives at home; After drinking the vegetable soup twice, you can see ants crawling on the ground; After drinking the vegetable soup three times, I could see the ships sailing on the sea. Not only did he become clear-eyed, but he also became smart.

The villagers were all amazed, and everyone went to ask the old woman, "Where did you get the panacea that cured your grandson's eyes?" ”

The old woman told everyone the details of what had happened, and the villagers said, "This is the goddess giving medicine to your grandson to cure his illness." They also took a boat to Caiyu to see the miraculous vegetables.

Later, the fishermen and people of Meizhou Island went to Caiyu to pick vegetables, and they all said that it was "a fairy flower and a divine flower, which can cure all kinds of diseases". Some of them take it to "recommend gods and Buddhas", some take it to give it to relatives and friends, some take it to arrange flower pots, some take it as medicine to eat, and some take it to exorcise demons and demons. However, no one dared to trample on the vegetables at will.

After listening to Wang Erwu's story, Meng Qianqian wondered, "Brother Erwu, do you want to take me to find this rapeseed to eat?" To be honest, I don't believe anything like that. Although the A-Ma Pavilion Temple is a place with a lot of aura, if there is really something that can cure all kinds of diseases as you said, it will not become the medical center of the world? ”

Wang Erwu smiled, "Sister, I want to tell you that as long as you keep a kind heart, you will definitely be protected by the gods!" From this moment on, none of us can easily say give up! There are many miracles in this world that we can't explain, we are not superstitious, and we can't get lost! ”

Meng Qianqian was a little moved, for so many years, few people other than her family cared so much about her.

"I see! I had been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia since I was fifteen years old, so I had to give up on what I had achieved in sanda at the time. It is a relatively rare malignancy, accounting for about 0% of all cancers. 3%, which means that 1 to 2 people per 100,000 people suffer from the disease. In the beginning, I had been taking a drug called Gleevec, and my condition was under control, but within three years, the drug slowly lost its effect, and when I was 19 years old, I was forced to undergo a hematopoietic stem cell transplant and almost lost my life. However, after only two years, there is a recurrence, and even if the hematopoietic stem cell transplant is performed again, the same problem will be faced, and the success rate of the operation will be much lower than before. At the beginning, my family insisted on forcing me to take some expensive medicines, but my family was not wealthy and could not afford such heavy medical expenses. You see, from the age of 20 to now, I have basically given up taking medicine for more than three years, and I am not living a good life. Meng Qianqian said with a smile.

"It's good that you can think like this! Hehe, my brother told you a secret...... My brother is very rich! There is so much money that it will fall out unconsciously when you put it on your body...... If my brother really finds a good treatment, then my sister, don't be hypocritical! ”

"Definitely not! I want to live a few more years...... Hehe......" Meng Qianqian let out a silver bell-like laughter, which made Wang Erwu feel very relieved. (To be continued.) )
