Chapter 16: Everyone looks at the pool of water and fire, and Lao Li is verbose (II)

"What the two laymen said is very good, our village of Polodulai is indeed a poetic place. It not only has the idyllic scenery of mountains and rivers, but also the folk customs are simple, there is good water, and there are good people. This white-haired elder is the Li Zheng here, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but praise him for this place.

"Sir, come and tell us about the history of this pool." Wang Xuance was also quite polite, and said to Li Zheng.

"This pool, we have been in Polodu Village for many years, as for how many years, the second child is not very clear, I only remember that when my grandfather's grandfather was alive, this pool already existed."

Hearing his words, everyone also smiled slightly, this is too good, but it's okay, just listen to him quietly.

I only heard the white hair Li Zheng continue: "At that time, when there was this pool, there was not a spring like now, it was an ordinary pool, not only the source of the water source of the whole village, but also the daily place for the people to take water. Therefore, we have guarded this water of life for generations, and later, around this pool, we have surrounded it with bluestones, so that on the one hand, we can reduce the erosion of the embankment by this current, and on the other hand, make the water clearer. ”

Speaking of this, everyone nodded in satisfaction. But listening to this, Wang Xuance asked casually: "In other words, the compatibility of this spring with water and fire has only been found in the past two years?" ”

"Wang Changshi, you are really a god, you can't escape your eyes for anything" The white hair was hurriedly complimenting.

Hearing this compliment, Wang Xuance also smiled, very embarrassed, because the fundamental reason for this is that King Deva had already mentioned this matter a few days ago, and he just asked him to hurry up and explain the history of this Ajpo Pond. That's why I interjected such a sentence, I never thought that this little second child was also a person who talked about people and talked nonsense. So he could only smile helplessly at King Deva.

Then the gray hair was straight, leading them around the pool, and on crutches at the same time. He also explained: "The matter of this fountain is, to be precise, one night in the middle of August of the previous year, when a sudden rainstorm fell in our village of Poradulai, and many houses were flooded, but only the water of this pond did not overflow. Therefore, when we got up in the morning to help the disaster, we found that the center of the pond had been spraying water outside, and suddenly it felt very strange. ”

"Oh, in other words, this fountain thing is because there was a heavy rainstorm, and this scene appeared, right?" Zhou Zeng immediately answered again.

"Yes, this Zhou Jushi is also a capable person," Bai Haili said with their words.

Just this sentence suddenly made people look at each other and smile, here is really a seamless person.

"After this rainstorm, after the appearance of this fountain, we, the people of the village of Poradurai, suddenly discovered this anomalous situation, and when a torch was placed on the surface of the water, a raging fire was immediately ignited, so as to achieve this phenomenon of compatibility between fire and water. If the torch is taken away, the fire will be extinguished," said the white hair, and once again gave them a bunch of nonsense.

"In that case, let's give it a try." Zhou Zeng, who was anxious, quickly answered with his words.

provoked Chen Maocai and Xiaoliu to pinch him fiercely in the back: "As long as you talk a lot, the more you answer, the slower he will act" The words they whispered in Chen Maocai's ear just fell.

I heard this white-haired Lizheng explain to them again in a rambling manner: "Distinguished guests and kings of the Tang Dynasty, wait a minute, because today is only for you to visit, according to this practice, it is to ask the second child to come to the village on behalf of me, Po Luo Du to come to the village, to offer a pillar of incense, sincere worship of the Elder Po, after that, you can." ”

"By the way, why is the name of this pool called Ajava Pond?" Although King Deva has known about this for nearly two years, and has come to observe it once in the middle, he really knows very little about the origin of this name. So I asked casually.

His question once again deflated everyone, because their intuition told them that there would be another tirade in the gray hair. Sure enough, when I heard the king ask such a question. The white-haired Li Zheng said like this: "You should know this Kumarosh, this is a generation of high monks from your Eastern Land, born in the country of Qiuzi, and it has been more than 200 years now. Although he is very famous in your land, his mother, Ajava, is very famous in our Brahmins. It also won our admiration. The most fundamental reason is the way she educates her children and the way she has cultivated Kumarosh into a high-ranking monk. ”

At that time, Qiuci and Shule, Khotan, and Gaochang were known as the four major Buddhist cultural centers in the Western Regions, and Buddhism was established as the state religion of Qiuci, so she was influenced by Buddhist culture and art since she was a child, and when she grew up, she became a devout Buddhist. She is innocent and kind by nature, and her endowment is brilliant. She is worldly and resolute. When she was supposed to get married, her brother chose a satisfactory son-in-law for her. Gu Moyan was born in the birthplace of Buddhism - Tianzhu Kingdom, when he was already an honorary and enviable teacher of the Western Regions. Later, Kumarosh was born. When Kumarosh was seven years old, Jainva went out of the city to visit and saw dry bones in the grave. Suddenly realized. Greed is the root of all suffering, and the fire of desire is as fierce as the fire of hell, which will eventually burn a person to dry bones and scatter in the grass. So he decided to become a monk.

She knows that any great man has gone through countless hardships, so she cultivated her son's spirit of hardship and hard work since he was a child. The children of other princes and nobles eat delicacies and wear ayala. When her son was seven years old, she took her son to the country of Zhengbin to study the scriptures of the Hinayana school of Buddhism with the enlightened monk Pantou Data, and when her son was a little older, she took him to Shule to learn the teachings of the Mahayana school of Buddhism from his teacher Suli Yasuma. In order to cultivate her son's patience, she accompanied him to meditate for most of the day, and in order to exercise her son's bravery, she led her son to climb dangerous mountains and wade through evil waters. When her son grew up to the age of seventeen or eighteen, she worked tirelessly to accompany her son through the green state, around the desert, over the mountains, across the rivers, trekking thousands of miles to Tianzhu to learn from the scriptures, leaving home, traveling around foreign countries, and living in a place for five or six years, so we named this pool as Ajapo Pond."

When listening to such words, everyone had a feeling of collapse, why was it such a long discussion......
