Hearing his father's answer, Liu Yancheng asked even more puzzled: "Do you mean that this kind of person is not complete?" ”

Ishino shook his head again and said: "That kind of person looks quite like what people often say that his soul is incomplete, but this is not the case, he is not born with dementia, his IQ is completely normal, and he is not unclear, he just doesn't think about it." If there is such a child in anyone's family, the parents must hate iron but are helpless. ”

Speaking of this, his tone changed, and he changed the topic again: "The so-called three souls and seven spirits are actually imaginary fingers, allusions, not real fingers. "Yun Ji Seven Signs" says that there are three souls, one fetal light, two cool spirits, and three ghost spirits, and the seven spirits are respectively corpse dogs, Fu Ya, Sparrow Yin, Swallowing Thieves, non-poisonous, defilthy, and stinky lungs, in fact, they are all hidden words, not that the human soul has 002, the tanuki prince, and there are seven spirits when rubbing the true and false.

On the contrary, it is more appropriate for the doctor to say, essence, qi, spirit, soul, and spirit are combined into the five organs, each with its own master. The liver belongs to the wood and the main soul, the lungs belong to the gold and the main soul, the number of wood in the east is three, and the number of gold in the west is seven, and that's it. To put it another way, the soul master is sane and clear, the spirit master is running with qi and blood, and the soul is in harmony with the body and mind without hindrance......"

Ishino took the opportunity to explain the theory of the soul to his son, and Liu Yancheng listened for a while and then interjected: "What if the soul is separated? ”

Ishino's answer was not profound, and he smiled and said, "That's a vegetative person, not a foolish person." ”

Liu Yancheng asked again: "What if the soul is scattered?" ”

Ishino: "Of course it's a dead man!" Even if no internal or external injuries can be found, the person is still dead. …… What are you doing with all this, didn't you just ask someone who could have obtained the legal decision by mistake, do you understand it now? ”

Liu Yancheng: "I understand, that kind of person is indeed quite rare, have you ever seen it, Dad?" ”

Ishino replied with a smile: "It's not that I haven't seen it, there are actually many people like that in the world, but it is indeed rare to achieve the Cheng dù who can make the magic in this stone statue automatically integrate into the divine consciousness." Not to mention that I happened to run to this Shantang Street, mistakenly 002, the tanuki prince, rubbed the real and the false, and accidentally opened the portal on these stone statues, and obtained the demon cultivation method inside......"

Speaking of this, his smile suddenly changed, and he looked up and forgot the direction of Tiger Hill and said in surprise: "Someone touched the earth qi spirit on the stone statue, and that magic divine thought entered his divine soul!" This is happening, right here and now! ”

Liu Yancheng turned to look into the distance, and said with a shocked face: "What kind of person?" ”

Ishino sighed and had to smile bitterly: "Isn't that the kind of person you said!" There is really such a person who ran to Shantang Street, and touched the stone statue here, and obtained the demon cultivation method by mistake, I'm afraid even he doesn't know what happened! The magic on this stone statue has a order, and it needs to be opened in turn, and this person doesn't know whether he is lucky or unlucky, but he happened to touch the stone statue with the first layer of magic tricks. ”

Liu Yancheng said with great interest: "Let's go over and see who it is, and what demon cultivation method has been obtained?" ”

Ishino shook his head and said, "There's no need for this, other people's chances have nothing to do with you." If you are interested in the method of demon cultivation and want to study it, your father can naturally tell you to be more profound and complete. It's useless for you to ask that person, he won't know what's going on, besides, the method of demon cultivation is not the way of ordinary people's cultivation, even if he gets the inheritance of the law, it's just like a dream. Everyone in this world has strange dreams, why are you running to disturb others? ”

Liu Yancheng: "Okay, I'll just go and see it." …… But Dad, what is the purpose of you taking me to visit this Shantang Street? Isn't it just to see these statues? ”

Shi Ye stretched out his hand and pointed to the surrounding world: "The scenery is thousands of years, the ancient alleys and small bridges are flowing water, isn't it worth visiting?" I brought you here to learn how to feel the subtleties of everything, including the stone statues along the way. …… I heard the news that your Senior Brother Xiaobai has also been cultivating near this Shantang Street recently. ”

Liu Yancheng scratched the back of his head: "Senior Brother Bai Shaoliu? He ran here to cultivate, where is the spiritual treasure land? ”

Ishino's expression was a little strange: "As far as I know, it's not a treasure land, he seems to be in a pyramid scheme, and he should have been tricked into it by a friend he met occasionally." ”

Liu Yancheng's appearance also became very strange, the boss with beaded eyes stared, and opened his mouth to stammer: "Who can deceive Bai Shaoliu?" He is the best person in the world to see people's hearts! ”

Ishino: "I think he just borrowed the land to practice and the appearance of the audience's life, Bai Shaoliu's verification, even I can't see it very clearly." …… He has his practice, you have yours, let's go, continue shopping. Watching the people and feeling and understanding is your own harvest. ”

The father and son walked not far away, and saw a stone civet statue at the roadside bridge, Shi Ye sighed secretly: "I don't know who left the law in these stone statues, after hundreds of years of changes, it is close to natural divine thoughts, and it is the law of demon cultivation, it is not a good thing to stay in this densely populated market." I would have looked at all the stone statues to find the source, and then erased them all. Unexpectedly, someone opened it at this time and unexpectedly obtained the legal decision. In this case, let these laws be kept, and those who are destined to do it themselves! ”

The person who touched the earth qi spirit, opened the strange portal, and inexplicably obtained the demon cultivation method in the stone beaver statue was Cheng Tianle.

The spells in the stone statues have a sequence, and you need to touch the first portal to obtain the first layer of spells before you can open the other stone statues in turn. And the stone beaver statue with the first layer of magic is far west of Tiger Hill and outside the Xishan Temple Bridge outside the Shantang Street Scenic Area, where there are usually no tourists at all, how could Cheng Tianle run away?

……

There are a total of seven stone beaver statues in the area of Shantang Street today, all of which have been rebuilt according to historical legends in the past two years, namely the Meiren civet of Shantang Bridge, the Tonggui civet of Tonggui Bridge, the Wenxing civet of Xingqiao, the Caiyun civet of Caiyun Bridge, the white male civet of Puji Bridge, the Haiyong civet of Wangshan Bridge, and the beaver of Xishan Temple Bridge. Of course, the names of these tanuki are not the same as the folk sayings; As for its origin, the legend is even more mysterious.

The first legend is related to King Wu and Qin Shi Huang. Tiger Hill, a famous spot in Suzhou, is the cemetery of King Wu Lu, according to legend, the tomb of Lu is under the sword pond, and there are more than 3,000 swords such as fish intestines to accompany the burial. When Qin Shi Huang came here, he saw a white tiger standing on the hill, Qin Shi Huang waved his sword to cut it, the white tiger turned into a sword light and disappeared, and the tiger hill got its name.

It is said that the white tiger is the sword qi under the tiger hill, and when Bai Juyi dug the Shantang River in later generations, in order to suppress the murderous spirit of the sword, he carved seven stone beaver statues and placed them in the eyes of various feng shui places in Shantang Street. At that time, these seven stone beavers were called Jinlu civet, Tongxing civet, Wenxing civet, Bantang civet, white male civet, Benshan beaver, Haiyong civet, which is the earliest legend of the stone beaver statue in Shantang Street.

Bai Juyi's theory of creating seven raccoons is quite far-fetched, and contemporary Suzhou people don't know much. Nowadays, the most popular is the second legend about the origin of the stone beaver statue - Liu Bowen made seven civet dogs.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng, who was born as a smuggler of salt, was proclaimed emperor in Suzhou, and the country was named Da Zhou, which was later broken by Zhu Yuanzhang. Legend has it that after Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Zhang Shicheng, he sent Liu Bowen to Suzhou to inspect. Liu Bowen came to the area of Shantang Street and found that the Shantang River was shaped like a sleeping dragon, which was where a dragon vein was located. He set up seven stone civet cat statues and placed them along the feng shui spirit of the Shantang River, and these seven stone statues were like a chain, locking this dragon vein.

This kind of legend is quite nonsense, but it is the talk of the people of Suzhou after tea and dinner, but the story of Liu Bowen's stone beaver statue and the dragon vein of Zhang Shicheng in the town is widely spread among the people of Suzhou. This statement is also used in the introduction of tourist attractions on Shantang Street today.

There is a third theory about the origin of the beaver statue on Shantang Street.

Speaking of tanuki, there is a classic traditional play called "Tanuki for the Prince". The story is about the period of Zhenzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, Concubine Liu and the chamberlain Guo Huai conspired to compete for favor, and secretly replaced the prince born to Concubine Li with a skinned civet cat. The child was rescued by the eunuch Chen Lin and adopted by Zhao Defang, the king of the Eight Sages. Zhenzong had no sons, so he set up the son of Zhao Defang to inherit the throne, and there seemed to be providence in the dark, and the heir he chose was his own son, and after succeeding to the throne, Song Renzong was borne.

This story first appeared in Yuan miscellaneous dramas, and it has been widely circulated in the Ming Dynasty, and "Tanuki for the Prince" has become a well-known classic repertoire, and after the processing of literati, it has become a part of the "Bao Gong Case". Folklore has it that Bao Zheng was ordered to go to Chenzhou for disaster relief and release grain, and when he met Concubine Li, who was in exile, he complained and traced down the truth of the old secrets.

This story was later compiled into the famous Qing Dynasty novel "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", but before "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" was written, the story of the tanuki changing the prince had long been a household name among the people. This story is not completely fabricated out of thin air, the historical Song Renzong was indeed not born to Empress Dowager Liu, but the son of a palace maid surnamed Li, who was adopted by Concubine Liu De at that time. Song Renzong succeeded to the throne at an early age, and Concubine Liu De once ruled as the queen mother, and it was not until after the death of the Empress Dowager Liu that Song Renzong did not know who his biological mother was.

There is indeed something in history, but it has nothing to do with Bao Zheng, and later someone attached this historical record to the story of the tanuki changing the prince.

The raccoon cat is a wild lynx, the ability to survive and reproduce is particularly strong, the people in Suzhou have worshiped the civet cat as a spirit animal, and there is a saying of "touching the head of the bobcat, a year is good", the civet cat is a symbol of "many children, easy to give birth to" in the folk. Song Zhenzong in the story has no children, and the "tanuki for the prince" is not a casual arrangement, which is related to the symbol of the tanuki.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, during the years of Chenghua and Hongzhi, similar things happened in the court. At that time, the royal heirs withered, and the emperor not only had few sons but was not easy to support, so the palace forbidden court loved to raise civet cats for auspicious signs, which also caused the people to follow suit. There is already this custom in Suzhou, and some people place it with bluestone carved civet cat statues on Shantang Street to pray for prosperity of goods.

This third legend is the most reliable, and may be the closest to the true origin of the beaver statues on Shantang Street, which have been on them since ancient times. According to folk word of mouth, Qili Shantang Street is sometimes called "Qili Street", and some people say that it is "Shili Street", which has become another homonym for "Shili Street" in "Dream of Red Mansions".

Nowadays, the local beaver statues have been rebuilt, and most tourists who have not heard the legend beforehand may not notice those stone beaver statues when walking through this thousand-year-old street, but Cheng Tianle has noticed. He thought these silly-looking statues were funny, and he had seen several along the way.
