Chapter 7: Chen Chujie obtained the Four Treasures of the Heavenly Book Bodhisattva Throne

The first section is the moon appreciation on Buddhist scriptures

It is said that Chang'e returned from Meitang and first reported to the East China Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva Xiangqian about the Tang monks and apprentices recreating in the Tianzigang area of Meitang and preparing holy relics for the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land.

After listening to Chang'e's report, Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said to Chang'e: "'Envoy of the God of Beauty', you go directly back to Heaven to report to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and I will go to Tianzhu to report to the Buddha." ”

"Good! Bodhisattva, if you have a place for me in the future, please take care of it. There will be a period later.! Chang'e said with a smile, and floated towards the heavenly palace with the wind in the clouds.

After Guanyin Bodhisattva sent Chang'e away, he sat on the nursery and closed his eyes and meditated.

"Alas! God is not as good as power. I've been clever all my life, but in the end, I still haven't counted the powerful Queen Mother! Aesthevara stood up in a muttering voice. She never expected that she would work hard to prepare holy relics for the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang, but in the end, the Queen Mother would be disrupted!

As the saying goes, a few hours in the sky, decades on earth. Just when Chang'e led Chen Xuanzang and his disciples Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, Sha Wujing and Bailongma to prepare the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Relic in the Meitang area, and Xiangxiang reported to Guanyin Bodhisattva in detail, decades had passed quietly in the mortal world. Guanyin Bodhisattva closed his eyes and meditated, using brain waves to search (scan) the changes in the last few hundred years of Tianzigang. Epiphany:

The heavenly court on earth accumulates grievances,

The world is full of gods!

Cangsang fell into an instant,

Merit and demerit reincarnation!

Guanyin Bodhisattva decided to truthfully report to the Buddha as soon as possible the whole process of the "displacement of the stack" of the dragon vein holy land in Tianzigang.

On the afternoon of August 15 (Mid-Autumn Festival), which was crisp in autumn of that year. Avalokiteshvara stepped on auspicious clouds. Dancing in the wind, I came to Tianzhu Ling Mountain. Guanyin Bodhisattva enters the Lingshan Leiyin Treasure Temple. Kneel down to the Buddha: "Disciple knock to see the Buddha!" Say hello to the Buddha! ”

"Bodhisattva, don't be formal, get up and sit down and talk about things." The Buddha said kindly.

"Thank you, Buddha!" Avalokiteshvara got up, walked to a chair on the right side facing the Buddha, and sat down. After Guanyin Bodhisattva sat down, he swept the treasure temple room with his eyes, and suddenly felt that today's treasure temple was brilliantly lit, and the colorful lights were flying, and it was very lively. There are already many gods from all walks of life gathered in the entire treasure temple. The fullest moon night of the year is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Originally. The Buddha specially summoned all the gods and spirits to gather together today to enjoy the beauty of the full moon and discuss the Buddhist scriptures of the world!

After Avalokiteshvara looked around, he suddenly felt that the eyes of the gods were shooting at him. Avalokiteshvara thought to himself, I didn't wear the wrong clothes today! I'm dressed the same as usual today. I just talked to Chang'e for a while, closed my eyes and searched (scanned) the changes in Tianzigang in the past few hundred years, and temporarily rushed to report to the Buddha. I was in a hurry to leave, and I didn't deliberately dress up, why did all the gods look at me with strange eyes!

"Bodhisattva, you have come just in time! Just now. I want all the gods to offer advice, what theme is it good to talk about the moon and Buddhist scriptures tonight? Everybody's worried. You're coming suddenly. They are like seeing a savior, and everyone is pinning this 'theme' on you. Avalokiteshvara was thinking wildly, and the kind voice of the Buddha sitting on the stage came.

"Buddha, admiring the moon and discussing Buddhist scriptures, this 'theme' is not trivial. In front of these many gods, even if the disciples have this heart, they do not have the courage. Avalokiteshvara replied with a smile.

"Bodhisattva, the Buddhist scriptures are like the vast universe, all-encompassing! Regardless of Tianyu Fanmen, Buddhism is everywhere, and the Buddhist scriptures should be spiritual! No matter when or what, as long as you are sincere, your experience and experience are the best Buddhist scriptures! Your induction, your summary, is the best theme! ”

"Buddha, according to your will a few days ago, the disciple arranged for Chen Xuanzang and his disciples Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, Sha Wujing, and Bailongma to go to Meitang in the south of the Yangtze River for half a day to relax. In the process of leisure, they have done many good deeds. The disciple came to report to the Buddha today. ”

"Wonderful! Wonderland! This matter is the best theme of the moon viewing Buddhist scriptures tonight! "If the Buddha laughs, the gods laugh loudly, and the whole treasure temple smiles!

"Bodhisattva, Xuanzang's master and apprentice came to my Tianzhu to learn scriptures, and the journey was hard. If you arrange for them to go to Meitang for half a day of leisure, there must be a lot of gonzo. Listen tonight! Now that the moon is full, I propose that everyone go outside the treasure temple to admire the moon and listen to the Bodhisattva's anecdotes! After the laughter, the Buddha said.

The Buddha spoke, and all the gods responded! Everyone followed the Buddha out of the thunder sound treasure temple and watched the moon scenery in the open air together!

If the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva had a few words of dialogue, the bright moon in the sky had hung above their heads. Tonight's full moon glows silvery white! The side of the earth with the sun on its back, the mountains and rivers, the fields and cottages, the flowers and forests, under the white moonlight, look particularly pleasing to the eye! The gods from all walks of life have just learned the big news that the Buddha instructed Guanyin Bodhisattva to arrange for Chen Xuanzang's teachers and students to go to Meitang for leisure. They were excited, energetic, and discussed!

"Bodhisattva, the gods and spirits of all walks of life now want to hear you talk about the good deeds and merits of Chen Xuanzang's master and apprentice during their leisure in Meitang. Let's just talk about it one by one! When the Buddha saw that everyone was sitting down, he said eagerly to Avalokiteshvara.

"Alright! I'll start by talking about what Master Chen Xuanzang did during his leisure in Meitang this time! ”

Guanyin Bodhisattva saw that everyone was looking forward to it, so she took a sip of nectar water, and used her laughing soprano to tell the Buddha and many gods about the good deeds and merits of Chen Xuanzang's master and apprentice during the leisure period in Meitang!

Guanyin Bodhisattva said: All kinds of gods, just now I heard that the Buddha instructed his disciples, I arranged for Chen Xuanzang's master and apprentice to go to Meitang to relax for half a day on the way to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, and they must feel very fresh! This is the Buddha's kindness to benefit the people. Everyone will definitely ask, the Buddha instructed you to arrange Chen Xuanzang's master and apprentice leisure, under the whole world, many tourist holy places you don't choose, why did you fall in love with the little-known Meitang?

"That's right! I've wanted to ask you this question for a long time. Miro Buddha shouted!

"That's right. You don't choose so many tourist destinations, why choose Meitang? The Buddha asked with a smile.

"This starts with the mountains and rivers of Meitang." Avalokiteshvara said.

"What's so special about the landscape of Meitang?" Mirovo said loudly!

"The mountain of Meitang is made of blue, red, and two-color rocks. It's hard to find anywhere else on Earth. The water in the pond flows from the gap between the two tectonic plates of the earth, the blue rock and the red rock. Avalokiteshvara paused for a moment and then said, "Meitang, a mountain composed of blue and red rocks, is called Wulong Mountain. More than 500 years ago. The Buddha used the five fingers of his right hand to change into the "Five Elements Mountain". Withhold Wukong for 500 years. Chen Xuanzang came to Tianzhu on the way to learn scriptures. Uncover the seal of the Five Elements Mountain and rescue Wukong to come to Tianzhu to learn scriptures. When Wukong was rescued that year, he broke through the "Five Elements Mountain" and fell into the Meitang area of Qiyang County, Yongzhou Prefecture, Jiangnan, which was called "Wulong Mountain". Wulong Mountain is made up of red and blue rocks. "Five Elements Mountain" - the thumb of "Wulong Mountain" is made of red rocks, it is the head of "Five Dragons Mountain", and the locals call it "Tianzigang". "Five Elements Mountain" - The other four fingers of "Five Dragons Mountain" are made of cyan rock. These five dragon mountains are all dragon vein holy lands! Tianzigang is the head of the dragon vein! Whose ancestors, if they are destined to be buried in the land of the dragon vein of Tianzigang, can bless their descendants to become the founding emperor in the future and have been hereditary for 300 years. This time, I arranged for Chen Xuanzang's master and apprentice to go to Meitang for a half-day leisure on the way to Tianzhu to learn scriptures. It is to let their masters and apprentices prepare holy relics for the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang! ”

"What kind of magical holy relics did their masters and apprentices prepare for the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang?" The Buddha asked with a smile?

"Chen Xuanzang's master and apprentice mainly reserve the four holy relics of 'fish, grass, water, and wine' for the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang. The fish, the 'Red Stone Golden Carp', was transferred to Wujing by the Dragon King of the West Sea, Ao Yan, and the Queen of the Carp to give it to his master. 'Jade Bottle Grass' and 'Porcelain Bottle Holy Water' - I entrusted Chang'e to transfer it to Wu Neng, and Wu Jing handed it over to the master. 'Ladyboard ambergris' - wine - was given to the white dragon horse by the Taishang Laojun and handed over to the master. These holy relics were all handed over to Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing, the presiding officer of Meitang Nunnery, before Chen Xuanzang left Meitang." Avalokiteshvara said.

"Is Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing, the host of the nunnery, a man or a woman?" The Buddha asked.

"It's a middle-aged man in his 50s." Avalokiteshvara replied.

"In the mortal realm, the place where Buddhism is located is called a temple; The location of Taoism is called the view; The place where the nun lives is called the nunnery! How is the nunnery in Meitang presided over by a man? The Buddha asked.

"As far as I know, Xiao Taixianni, the hostess of Meitang Nunnery, went out for cultivation and temporarily entrusted the affairs of the nunnery to her eldest brother Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing. Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing is the brother of Xiao Taixianni of Meitang Nunnery! Avalokiteshvara said.

"Oh! Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing is the host of Meitang Nunnery, what is the merit? The Buddha asked.

"This Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing is a well-known local talent. He is the author of "The Shaw Family Tree", "The Law of Three Characters", and many humorous stories. Avalokiteshvara presented the books and materials he had with him to the Buddha.

While watching Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing's humorous story, the Buddha asked Guanyin Bodhisattva:

"Chen Xuanzang didn't reserve holy relics for the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land? What did he do for the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang? The Buddha asked.

"Chen Xuanzang left two copies of the true and false 'Book of Heavenly Secrets' for the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang. The real 'Book of Heaven Cheats' says that Tianzigang is a dragon vein holy land. Its content is: Dragon Vein Holy Land Tianzi Gang. For example, the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva ignited the younger generations of masters and apprentices to prepare "red stone golden carp", "blue porcelain grass", "jade bottle holy water", and "scoop dragon saliva". The fate holds the four holy relics of "fish, grass, water, and wine" to accompany the burial of the deceased in the Son of Heaven Tomb. The sun is changing and the stars are moving, and one day. Open the mound to protect the fish, the fish leaps into the dragon gate array, enters the cave along the river, and the golden carp turns into a dragon. He has been the founding emperor of the country for 300 years. Heaven cannot be leaked, God gives people who are destined. Avalokiteshvara said.

"What is the content of the fake 'Book of Heaven Cheats'?" The Buddha asked eagerly.

"In order to keep this 'heavenly machine' secret, Chen Xuanzang secretly hid the real 'Heavenly Book Secret Book' in the stone crevices of the bluestone flying pigeon transformed by Wukong. In order to achieve the purpose of allowing people who are destined to get the 'heavenly machine', Chen Xuanzang wrote the place where the 'heavenly machine' was hidden in a recipe. The name of the recipe is "Three Varieties of Bighead Carp". Poinsettia pepper and tempeh steamed bighead carp head. The second product of "Danggu" clear pot bighead carp soup. Three kinds of glutinous flour hook bighead carp miscellaneous. The practice of "Three Products of Bighead Carp" is fourteen five-word formulas:

Bighead carp dish in the heavenly garden

Bibliographic craft brewing

Secret pickled bean paste

The recipe contains the soup recipe

Inside the belly of the Tibetan sweetfish

Boil the white pulp over the fire

Green underwater cold pot

Grilled fish offal on a slate

Fly some peppercorns

Pigeon meat supplemented with old soup

Base ingredient: green onion, ginger and garlic

Bighead carp feast

Xuan monk book three products

Zang Sheng's reputation

The first words of the first twelve sentences are read together: The secret book of the Book of Heaven is hidden in the base of the bluestone flying pigeon. It is to inform the destined person of the location of the secret 'Book of Heaven'. Avalokiteshvara said.

"Chen Xuanzang is the holy land of the dragon vein of Tianzigang, and he must not only be involved in secrets, but also keep secrets. What a painstaking effort! "The Buddha said.

"It's not just Chen Xuanzang who has worked hard for the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang. Wukong, Bajie, Wujing, and Bailongma are several disciples. Preparing holy relics for the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land is also worrying and laborious, and the contribution is indispensable. It is a pity that hundreds of years ago, Chen Xuanzang's masters and apprentices, who had worked hard to prepare the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land, finally moved the main place due to the struggle between the immortals and gods. Now this ending has changed in a way that I never expected. Avalokiteshvara said.

"The Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang only involves Heavenly Court! Bodhisattva. You will tell the ins and outs of this matter auspiciously and carefully with the gods and spirits! Gods and spirits, do you wish to listen to the Bodhisattva continue to set up the 'Dragon Gate Array'? The Buddha asked the gods with a smile.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The gods cheered in unison, and the gods were uplifted and their emotions were excited.

"Hundreds of years ago, after Chen Xuanzang's masters and apprentices prepared holy relics for the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land and left Meitang, the descendants of the Chen clan were the first to know the heavenly opportunity of the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land. More than 50 years ago, the people surnamed Chen buried their deceased ancestors in Tianzigang. More than 50 years later, the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land should be "permeated" by the descendants of the Chen clan as the founding emperor according to common sense. The reality is counterproductive, the descendants of the Chen clan did not produce the founding emperor; The descendants of the Zhu clan have become the founding emperor! Zhu Yuanzhang became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty! Avalokiteshvara said.

"The Dragon Vein Holy Land is also stacked with the main shift. Unprecedented, unprecedented! This is not a trivial matter. Bodhisattva. You just speak slowly and listen to the gods! The Buddha said with a smile.

"Alright! I will first say that the people surnamed Chen were the first to know the story of the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land, and then tell the story of the legend of the immortal blessing god fighting for Tianzigang and the displacement of the master. Guanyin Bodhisattva first reported to the Buddha and the gods the auspicious process of Chen Chujie, the descendant of the Chen clan, who obtained the Book of Heaven.

According to historical records, during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, that is, between 627 and 649 A.D., Guanyin Bodhisattva received the decree of the Buddha to visit the good people who had learned scriptures in the city of Chang'an (now Xi'an). Guanyin Bodhisattva and Mu Fork dressed up as two scabies monks, and sold brocade robes worth 5,000 taels of silver and nine-ring tin rods worth 2,000 taels of silver on the streets of Chang'an. When the prime minister of the dynasty Xiao (Xiao) Yu "knew the treasure", sincere to the Buddha, saw two monks and two Buddha objects extraordinary, personally introduced Guanyin Bodhisattva to the Tang King Li Shimin. Guanyin Bodhisattva presented the robe and tin staff to Li Shimin, the king of Tang, on the spot. On the day of the wing, the king of Tang gave two Buddha treasures to Chen Xuanzang - that is, Tang monk. Guanyin Bodhisattva is grateful to Prime Minister Xiao (Xiao) Yu for the "introduction of treasures" in that year, so according to the will of the Buddha, when arranging the "leisure" place on the way for Tang monks and apprentices to learn scriptures, they chose the nunnery of Meitang Xianren Mountain. Because the presiding officer of this nunnery is surnamed Xiao (simplified to Xiao), and his name is Hanqing. According to the genealogy of the surname Xiao, Xiao Yu and Xiao Hanqing should belong to the same clan and clan. Xiao Hanqing later passed on the "secret of the Book of Heaven" left by Chen Xuanzang and the "immortal envoy" to the clansman surnamed Chen, the ancestor of Chen Youliang's ancestor, Chen Chujie. The "mystery" in this should be related to Tang Seng - Chen Xuanzang's surname Chen.

[Playback, narrator] 50 years ago, I attended the "legendary and mysterious" funeral with my ancestors, and today I really appeared! Could it be that the "Book of Heaven" left by the Tang Dynasty monks is really effective!

On the second day after Master Kuang Hongtao returned to Hengshan Temple 50 years ago with his master Jiang Hongyan after completing Chen Daocai and Zhao Meilin's rituals, Master Jiang Hongyan introduced to Kuang Hongtao Xiang alone the experience of Chen Chujie, the ancestor of the Chen family, who had collected and prepared the holy relics for seven years and the ins and outs of these holy relics.

Chen Chujie, the ancestor of the Chen family, collected and prepared the "Four Treasures" for seven years, first of all, thanks to Chen Chujie's accidental acquisition of the "Heavenly Book Secret" of Tang Seng - Chen Xuanzang during his first year on duty. Without the "secret of the book of heaven", there can be no "fish, grass, water, and wine". After Chen Chujie obtained the "Secret of the Book of Heaven", he searched day and night, and after six years, he finally obtained the "Four Treasures".

According to folk history, between 1281 A.D. and 1306 A.D. of Haishan (Wuzong) in the Yuan Dynasty, among the Chen people in the Xianren Mountain area of Meitang, Chen Chujie, the son of the Chen family, was 36 years old. On an errand at the "township office" in the place of residence. And he also served as a "head catcher". Once. After Zhou Nanshan, the director of the "Township Office", tried a thief case, he ordered Chen Chujie to send two thieves - "ball balls" to leave the loess paving boundary, Chen Chujie accidentally obtained the "secret of the book of heaven" left by Tang Seng - Chen Sanzang in the immortal mountain. Chen Chujie's process of obtaining the "Secret of the Book of Heaven" is a "gray" story that has been passed down for thousands of years and is known to women and children!

(A) Verbal provoking trouble

According to folk history, between 1281 A.D. and 1306 A.D. of Haishan (Wuzong) in the Yuan Dynasty, there was a young couple in the loess shop at the junction of Qiyang County and Shaoyang County in Hunan Province (under the jurisdiction of Qidong County after 1952). Not only did it scare off the thieves who slipped into its kitchen; He also said "ball balls" ("proverbs" in the Qi Dongfang dialect, which actually refers to the testicles of the male genitalia) in the polder market, which frightened the two thieves to throw away the stolen load of dates and run away. As a result, this load of dates became the physical evidence of the couple's "thieves", and they suffered a grievance for a period of time in a daze, and became a joke for the locals from generation to generation.

Chapter 7: Chen Chujie obtained the Four Treasures of the Heavenly Book Bodhisattva Throne

The second section of the fate of the "Book of Heaven"

The loess shop town at the foot of Taizifeng in Wulong Mountain is located at the junction of Qiyang County and Shaoyang County, more than 200 miles away from Qiyang County, and the nearest village to Shaoyang is only a dozen miles. In the era of inaccessibility. The Qiyang County Decree set up a "special zone" in this loess shop with more than 100 households, and the administrative agency called it the "Township Office". The chief executive is called the director, and the office is located in the ancestral hall of the Zhou family. The current director's surname is Zhou, his name is Nanshan, and his nickname is "Zhou Qingtian". Zhou Nanshan is in his fifties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a round body and round shoulders, and a big man of 1 or 8 meters. There is a custom of loess paving, the first, fourth and seventh days of the lunar calendar every month; xi, xiv, xii; Twenty-one, twenty-four, and twenty-seven are the days of the polder. Zhou Nanshan has developed a habit for many years, and every time he catches up on a polder day, he has to get up half an hour early. This day is the fourth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the sky is just hazy, Zhou Nanshan has just opened the two main doors of the ancestral hall more than 2 meters high and more than one meter wide, and from the streets of the polder city, there are 20 or 30 people in the "patio" of the ancestral hall at once. One of them also put a load of dates filled with two baskets in the front row under the stage of the ancestral hall. Seeing this scene, Zhou Qingshan summoned ten baoding, including Chen Chujie, Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu, to come to the stage and quickly "ascend to the court" to try this emergency.

"Okay", Zhou Nanshan stood in the middle of the stage and said in his long-practiced judge's voice: "Don't argue first, you plaintiffs and defendants will speak one by one."

"I'll talk first". A middle-aged man standing at the bottom of the stage, facing the left side of the stage, spoke first. "My name is Peng Shengmin, and I live in Pengjiachong. I have five date trees in my house. This year's date harvest is huge. Yesterday afternoon, my wife and I picked a load of dates together and put them in the kitchen, ready to pick up the loess shop this morning. Who knows, I got up at five o'clock and saw that there was no one in the two baskets of dates. I think there must have been a thief who stole dates and sold them in the polder. So, I called a few uncles and brothers and hurried to the loess shop. Sure enough, at the fork in the road south of the city, we saw this pair of dogs and men standing next to my family's load of dates. Lord Qingtian, you have to be the master for me. You see, on this basket is the name of my Peng Provincial People. I didn't steal this load of dates from them, could it be said that the dates themselves would fly five or six miles from Pengjiachong to the loess shop? ”

"Okay, Lao Peng's situation has been made clear. Now let's talk about what you two are doing. Zhou Nanshan gestured to a man and a woman in the audience to speak with his eyes.

"Lord Qingtian, we are really wronged!" The man under the stage spoke first: "My name is Zou Qiaoyuan, and I am from Zou Jiawu Village. She is my wife, named Wu Zhi'e. We have been married for 8 years and have not yet had children. Six days ago, we went to Qiyang County to see a Chinese doctor, and we just arrived home last night. This morning, the two of us came to catch a few pairs of Chinese medicine and buy a live soft-shelled turtle. When we walked to the fork in the south of the city, we saw two men shouting in a low voice, 'Sell sweet dates', so we walked up to look at the dates. At that time, I grabbed two round jujubes with my hands and said to my wife, 'Zhi'e, look, these two elephants are not like the two balls last night'. Actually, I was joking with my wife and comparing dates to testicles. But. A "chirp" kung fu. It turned out that the two men who whispered to sell sweet dates ran away. Soon there was no trace of it. We were wondering, looking around for the two men, and more than a dozen of them rushed over. He didn't allow us to say anything separately, so he took us here as thieves. What I said is true, and if I say half a lie, I will be killed by heaven and thunder. Lord Qingtian, you said that we were wronged or not. ”

"Alright". Zhou Nanshan spoke on the stage: "Both of you have made it clear, and the director of this department has also understood. Lao Peng's loss of jujube is true; It is also true that Lao Zou and his wife did not steal dates. But it is impossible for the dates of the old Peng family to run to the loess shop by themselves. The director of this office will find out the two jujube thieves on the spot today and show them to you. ”

(B) Authenticity of the handprint

[Stunt plus close-up] said that Zhou Nanshan listened to the statements of Peng Shengmin, Zou Qiaoyuan, and Wu Zhi'e. I saw that the "patio" under the stage was densely packed with more than 100 people. He thought that the two thieves who stole dates must have mixed in the crowd to watch the heat close. So, he had the idea of catching the thief on the spot. Zhou Nanshan first sent Bao Ding Zhang San to close the two gates of the ancestral hall; He also sent Bao Ding Li Si to lead Zou Qiaoyuan and Wu Zhi'e to the wing room on the left side of the stage. He sent Bao Ding Wang Wu to move a table and place it under the right tilt of the stage, and placed a printing table on the table; He sent "head catcher" Chen Chujie to move a table and put it under the left side of the stage, and spread a large white paper on the table. After everything was arranged, Zhou Nanshan implemented his thief capture action step by step.

Zhou Nanshan stood in the middle of the stage and said loudly to the crowd: "Okay, please be quiet." From now on, the entire ancestral hall will be subject to interrogation. Everybody saw it. Zhang Sanji closed the door well, and no one could get out. I concluded that the two people who stole Lao Peng's dates must have been mixed in the crowd to watch the excitement. There are two ways for me to examine: one is to press the mudra. Reserved for future fingerprints; The second is that Zou Qiaoyuan and Wu Zhi'e have the special ability to see people and things clearly in the dark, so that they can identify them in the wing. Now ask the men to stand on my right hand; The ladies all stood on my left hand side. The men lined up, one by one to the right table, printed the ink with their right index finger, then walked to the left, pressed their handprints on the white paper on the table, and then stood in the back line. ”

After Zhou Nanshan finished speaking, the men under the stage began to press their handprints one by one. When more than 20 people pressed their handprints, and there were two tall and one short men in the audience pressing their handprints on the big white paper at the same time, when they just wanted to turn around and go to the back row, Zhou Nanshan shouted, "You two stand still." Raise your right hand and let everyone see if there are any traces of mud on the index finger and thumb finger of their right hand. Men who have pressed mudras also look for traces of mud on their right fingers. At this time, there was a commotion in the audience, and everyone checked each other to see if there were any traces of mud on the index finger and thumb finger of the right hand.

[Long shot, close view, stunt] "Alright, please be quiet. Zhou Nanshan continued: "Everyone is optimistic, these two people have traces of mud on their right index finger and finger, while the men who have pressed the handprint only have traces of mud on their index fingers. This is because the men who did not steal the dates wanted to print their fingerprints clearly in case we were wronged in the future. So, after you put the ink on your index finger, you want to keep the ink on your index finger not messy. Moreover, the fingerprints on the paper are all clear. The two of them are different. Because they are thieves, they are afraid of leaving us clear fingerprints from the bottom of their hearts. So, after pressing down on the ink with their index fingers, they secretly rubbed the ink on their index fingers on the way to the table on the left. As you can see, the two of them have a very blurry fingerprint on the paper. From their actions, it can be concluded that the dates of the old Peng family must have been picked up from the Peng family to the loess shop with their help."

Zhou Nanshan said this, staring at the two men under the stage, one tall and one short, with his eyes, and then said in a very majestic tone: "Now I give you two choices, one is to confess the truth and take the initiative to admit your mistakes." The dates of the old Peng family have not been damaged, and I will give you two a light blow. If you two don't admit it and want to deny it, I will punish you two severely after I let Zou Qiaoyuan and Wu Zhi'e identify them in the dark. In the worst case, cut off one finger each; Lightly, cut the yin and yang heads (yin and yang heads, that is, use scissors to push a knife from the middle of the head from front to back, and the hair on both sides does not move, so that the hair forms a groove. This is a special head shape for punishing thieves in the local area, and when others see this head shape, they know that this person has been caught as a thief). It's up to you both to choose where you go. "Zhou Nanshan just said this, there are two men under the stage, one tall and one short." Plop, plop" both knelt on the ground: "Lord Qingtian." We know what to do. We confess, we confess. Please be merciful, sir, and let us be lightly punished, and we will never do such a shameful and conspicuous stupid thing again. ”

(C) "Balls" are right and wrong

When Zhou Nanshan asked the two of them to stand up and say, the tall man in it told the whole process of stealing dates. He said: His name is Zeng Wenqiu, nicknamed "Daqiu", and he is 22 years old this year. The short man is called Zeng Fuqiu, nicknamed "Little Ball". He is 17 years old. Both of them are from Shaoyang, they have been orphans since they were children, and they have ganged up to make a living by "holding sheep by hand" more than ten years ago. The locals refer to them as "two bastards". A few days ago, when we heard that Zou Qiaoyuan and Wu Zhi'e went to Qiyang County to see a doctor, we thought of finding something valuable at their house and selling it at the market for some food. In the middle of the night last night, we came to their house, and as soon as we entered the kitchen, we heard his wife whispering on the bed in the hall (bedroom): "Husband, two balls." Two balls for sure." Although she spoke in a small voice, it was quiet in the dead of night. We heard it very clearly. At the time, we were terrified. This woman is a "night vision eye". I thought, since the husband and wife have returned, and now that his wife has found out, let's leave this place quickly and make a fortune elsewhere. We stood outside for a while, and "Little Ball" didn't give up, letting me out of the air, and he went into the kitchen for the second time. At this time, we both heard her wife's voice: "Husband, a ball is out of the blue; There is also one inside (referring to the scrotum). Hearing this, this time we completely believed that his wife was a "night vision". After the "little ball" came out of the kitchen, we just ran away. When the two of us ran to Pengjiachong in one go, it would take a while to see that it was dawn, and it was the best time for us to take the sheep by hand. So the two of us wanted to make a fortune in Peng's house. As soon as I entered the first house, I saw a load of fresh dates in the kitchen. The two of us first moved out of the house lightly, and then walked quickly to the polder market with dates. At the fork in the road, when I saw the husband and wife coming, I wanted to sell them at a low price and leave quickly; It turned out to be our nemesis. When the man held two dates in his hand and asked his wife: "Zhi'e, look, these two elephants are not like the two balls last night!" When we heard this, we thought they had recognized us, so we threw down the dates and ran away. When we ran into the alley to avoid their sight, we saw more than a dozen people running from the family that lost the dates, and when they saw the couple and the dates, they couldn't help but distinguish between them, so they twisted the couple to the township office. We were curious, and we also wanted to see what this woman with night vision looked like, so we poured into the ancestral hall with the lively flow of people. As a result, I was caught by you, the master.

This is the end of the story, and it should have ended a long time ago. But there is still one doubt left, is Zou Qiaoyuan's wife Wu Zhi'e really a night vision eye? The answer is no. What the two thieves heard was a pure coincidence. It turned out that Zou Qiaoyuan and Wu Zhi'e had been married for eight years and failed to have children, and they were diagnosed by the old Chinese medicine doctor in Qiyang County, and the problem was Mr. Zou. Zou Qiaoyuan has congenital testicular (ball-egg) swimming syndrome. That is to say, Mr. Zou's two "ball eggs" do not have many opportunities in the scrotum at the same time, usually most of the time one "ball egg" is in the scrotum, and one "ball egg" enters the lower abdomen, therefore, the quality of the sperm produced by Mr. Zou is not high, and the chance of the wife's egg being fertilized and conceived is small. This time, the old Chinese medicine doctor helped them find the cause of the disease and prescribed traditional Chinese medicine to treat "ball egg" swimming syndrome. It is said that the young couple walked home from Qiyang County that day, and worked hard all the way to get a good night's sleep in the middle of the night. In the second half of the night, my wife woke up and thought, I have been married to my husband for so many years, and when the two of them usually contact each other, I always see his "ball egg outhouse" bulging, but I don't know that the ball egg in him is a "wandering criminal". She remembered that the old Chinese medicine doctor had privately told her to touch her husband's scrotum more when she slept at night, and cooperate with medication to let the two "ball balls" "stay" in the "ball egg outhouse" for a long time. Thinking of this, she probed her husband's scrotum with both hands. When she explored her husband's scrotum for the first time, she happened to encounter two "balls" in the scrotum, so she happily called "Husband, two balls, it must be two balls". At this time, just in time for the "two bastards" thieves to enter the kitchen, they thought that the woman had night vision and saw them in the dark. When they went out for a while, when the "little ball" entered the kitchen for the second time, Wu Zhi'e touched Mr. Zou's scrotum and found that there was only one "ball egg" left in the bag, and one of the "ball eggs" went into the lower abdomen. She finally understood that the old Chinese medicine doctor was accurate in seeing patients. So, she also told her husband without reservation: "Husband, a ball is out; There is also one inside (referring to the scrotum). The two "bastard thieves" happened to be inside the house and the other outside, and they were convinced that the woman in the family had night vision. You can see people and things clearly in the dark. When Mr. Zou joked with his wife. Dates are used as a metaphor for "balls" (testicles). The two "bastard thieves" heard Mr. Zou say for the third time: "Zhi'e, look, these two elephants are not like the two balls last night, so that everyone will think that the couple has recognized them, can they run away without throwing down the dates and scattering their legs!"

(D) Those who are destined to receive the "Book of Heaven"

[Long shot, close view, stunt plus close-up] After Zhou Nanshan finished hearing this ridiculous case, he ordered Chen Chujie to send the two balls back to Shaoyang to the boundary of Shaoyang. Chen Chujie is 1, 78 meters tall, with a Chinese face, and has practiced martial arts since elementary school. He is an outstanding pride among his local peers.

Before Chen Chujie sent the two balls away from the loess paving boundary, the big ball and the small ball retrieved a burden hidden in the straw stack in advance in Gemaochong. Chen Chujie asked him to open his baggage and accidentally found the "bluestone flying pigeon". According to the "big ball" confession, half a month ago, the two of them were "stepping on points" in the area near Xianren Mountain, and once took the opportunity to sneak into the room of the host of the nunnery, and when they rummaged through valuable things, they saw this stone wrapped in red cloth. We both think this stone must be worth a lot! Otherwise, why is the host wrapped in red cloth so well? Immediately, the two of us took the red cloth and the stone together and hid them in the haystack.

Chen Chujie saw that this stone was shaped like a flying pigeon. Take it in your hand and observe it carefully, and completely enter the realm of concentration. The two "balls" saw that the "head catcher" ignored them at all. I took the opportunity to roll up the package and quietly slipped away.

[Long view, close view] Chen Chujie spent a long time, concentrating on repeatedly observing the stone shaped like a flying pigeon, and when he came back to his senses, the two thieves were gone. Chen Chujie's brain was blank at that time, and his hands that were holding "stones shaped like flying pigeons" were released under unconscious control, and the stones shaped like flying pigeons fell to the bluestone blocks under Chen Chujie's feet. Chen Chujie only bent down to watch after hearing the sound of "bar", and the base shaped like a flying pigeon stone shattered and separated from his body. After the base shaped like a flying pigeon stone was shattered, the "Book of Heaven" left by Tang Seng was revealed. Its content is: Tianzigang, the holy land of the dragon vein, such as the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva to point the younger generations of masters and apprentices left "red stone golden carp", "blue porcelain grass", "jade bottle holy water", "scoop dragon saliva". The fate holds the four holy relics of "fish, grass, water, and wine" to accompany the burial of the deceased in the Son of Heaven Tomb. The sun turns and the stars move, and one day, the mound protects the fish, the fish jumps into the dragon gate array, enters the cave along the river, and the golden carp turns into a dragon. He has been the founding emperor of the country for 300 years. Heaven cannot be leaked, God gives people who are destined. Tang Chen Xuanzang book.

Chen Chujie is a person who has read "private acquaintance", and after reading the true scripture of "Book of Heaven", he immediately hid it in his "heart". Later, Chen Chujie sent the stone that looked like a flying pigeon without a base back to the Meitang Hall. Since that day, Chen Chujie has secretly collected "fish, grass, water, and wine" from generation to generation in accordance with the content shown in Tang Seng's "Secrets of Heavenly Books" and hid them at home.

It is said that Guanyin Bodhisattva first reported to the Buddha and the gods the auspicious process of Chen Chujie, the descendant of the Chen clan, who obtained the Book of Heaven. Immediately after that, Guanyin Bodhisattva reported to the Buddha and the gods the whole process of Chen Chujie's learning of the Book of Heaven to the search for the four holy relics and the establishment of the tomb site.

Guanyin Bodhisattva said: After Chen Chujie learned about the Book of Heaven, he knew that he was the one who discovered the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang. Chen Chujie is a very scheming person. He thought, now that I am the only one on the earth who knows this heavenly opportunity, as long as I don't tell the second person, everything I do, others will not think that it is the content of this heavenly book, I must keep this secret! Therefore, after Chen Chujie learned about the Book of Heaven, he did not tell anyone, including his parents, wife, and children. He was alone looking for the four holy relics to accompany the burial. During this period, Chen Chujie also openly and secretly did a good deed for the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land!

Guanyin Bodhisattva said: After Chen Chujie learned that Tianzigang was the holy land of dragon veins, he knew that in the future, Tianzigang would not bury his deceased parents; It is to bury the ancestors who died in their early years! Whether it is to bury the deceased or move the deceased, it is necessary to build a road from Chenjiayuan to Tianzigang, so that when the ancestors are buried in Tianzigang, everyone will carry the coffin smoothly. From the courtyard of the Chen family to Tianzigang, the shortcut distance is about 2,000 meters. On the way, we passed by Zhujiayuan (Bay) and Yanjiayuan. Between Zhujiayuan (Bay) and Yanjiayuan is a river. This river is the confluence of two upstream tributary rivers. A branch river upstream is called the Wenming River, Wukong built a civilization bridge in the Wenming River, and Wujing built a new weir in the Wenming River. Chenjiayuan is located on the edge of the Wenming River. A branch river upstream is called the Luo River. At the confluence of the two branches, there lived a family surnamed Yan, and people called this section of the river Yanjiajiang at that time. The Yanjia River flows for more than 30 miles, and the entire river flows into the world-famous Xiangjiang River! Because the Yanjia River merges the water sources of the two branch rivers, the river surface is wide and the water flow is continuous all year round! Chen Chujie thought, if I don't repair the bridge in Yanjiajiang at the time, I won't be able to carry the coffin to Tianzigang in the future! thereupon

Chen Chujie suggested to his father to donate money for the official road from Qiyang to Baoqing (Shaoyang). Chen Chujie's father, Chen Daocai, was a well-known wealthy man in Qiyang County and a well-known local philanthropist who donated money to run a school. Chen Daocai saw that his son in his thirties was very frugal when he was dedicated to his errands, and now Kang Kai's family wealth was going to build roads, so he was naturally happy in his heart. Chen Daocai poured all his family property and immediately donated 10,000 taels of silver to the Qiyang County Commander to build the only cross-river bridge in the official road from Qiyang to Baoqing (Shaoyang) - Yanjia (River) Bridge.

The official road from Qiyang to Baoqing (Shaoyang) is about 150 miles long, of which the Qiyang section is more than 80 miles; The Baoqing (Shaoyang) section is more than 70 miles. Yanjia Bridge is located about 50 miles away from Qiyang County. The official road from Qiyang to Baoqing (Shaoyang) is about 150 miles long, of which 60 miles belong to the hilly terrain of red rocks, and more than 90 miles belong to the hilly (mountain) landform of cyan rocks. In that year, the official road from Qiyang to Baoqing (Shaoyang) was built, and the road surface was paved with blue and blue rocks. The stone required for paving the road is all mined from the cyan rock mountains in the Shaoyang section. The blue rocks used for paving are about three feet long and 2 to 3 feet wide, and are all about 15 centimeters thick. Before the 70s of the last century, there were still a few people in our father's generation who occasionally walked this ancient official road. Since the 80s of the last century, with the development of rural roads, few locals today have taken this official road paved with bluestone plates. This is a later story, so let's not mention it for now!

Guanyin Bodhisattva continued: After Chen Chujie's proposal to donate money to build the road, and after receiving the support of his father, he resigned from his position as a fast catcher in the Loess Pu Township Office, and concentrated on organizing personnel to build the Yanjia Bridge. Chen Chujie was ingenious in repairing the Yanjia Bridge, and he used the local stone resources to first build a red rock arch bridge.

"Red rocks are very easy to weather, how can Chen Chujie use red rocks to build arch bridges?" So said the Buddha.

Chen Chujie hired Xiao Wenqiu, the most famous local stonemason and sculptor, as the chief engineer of the bridge, and hired 50 young and middle-aged farmers to build the bridge full-time with high salaries. Chen Chujie decided to build a 40-meter-long red rock arch bridge in the shallow water area on the north bank of the Yanjia River. As soon as this decision was introduced, it was immediately opposed by the Qiyang County Order. The Qiyang County Commander said to Chen Chujie, although you are using your father's donation to build bridges and roads, you must also spend the money in the right place. You use red rocks to build bridges, this is not clear that you are taking money as a child's play! The red rock is very easy to weather, and the bridge you built will collapse in a few years, won't it cost you your life and money!

Chen Chujie's father, Chen Daocai, also did not understand his son's move to build an arch bridge with red rocks. His father said to Chen Chujie, I have grown so big, I have only seen others use cyan rocks to build bridges and pave roads, and I have never heard of using red rocks to build arch bridges. Avalokiteshvara said.
