Chapter 426: Before the Sansheng Stone

Old Lady Ma frowned: "Where is the person surnamed Li who made the coffin now?" ”

Grandpa said slowly: "That person is the one you and Yao Xiaojuan saw at my house last night." ”

"Kuri just now?!" Mrs. Ma's eyes widened.

"Don't jump to conclusions." Grandpa said.

Old Ma's eyes returned to their original size, looked at her grandfather and said, "Look at Yao Xiaojuan, this appearance is definitely not normal." ”

Grandpa said: "Bitter fruit and bitter fruit, this is the bitter fruit she eats herself." They are all obstacles accumulated in previous lives. Hey, if only I could see their Sansheng Stone. ”

Listening to the elders say that after a person dies, he walks through Huangquan Road and arrives at Naihe Bridge, and he will see Sansheng Stone. It has been standing by the Nai He Bridge, looking at the people in the red dust who are ready to drink Meng Po soup and be reincarnated. Legend has it that the Sansheng Stone can reflect the appearance of a person's previous life. The causes of the past life, the fruit of this life, the reincarnation of fate, and the origin and extinction of the fate are all heavily engraved on the three-life stone. For thousands of years, it has witnessed the pain and joy, sorrow and joy, laughter and tears of all living beings. The debts that should be repaid, the feelings that should be repaid, before the Sansheng Stone, a write-off.

There is also a legend about the Sansheng Stone. It is said that a long, long time ago there was a rich son named Li Yuan, who realized the impermanence of life because of his father's death in the chaos, and vowed not to be an official, not to marry a wife, not to eat meat, and donated his home to rebuild Huilin Temple, and lived in the temple to practice. The abbot of the temple, Zen Master Yuanze, is very good at running the temple property, and knows music very well, Li Yuan and him have become good friends, often sit and talk, a conversation is a whole day, no one knows what they are talking about.

One day, they met to swim together in Qingcheng Mountain and Emei Mountain in Sichuan, Li Yuan wanted to take the waterway from Hubei along the river, but Yuan Ze advocated taking the Chang'an Xiegu Valley to Sichuan by land. Li Yuan disagreed. Yuan Ze had no choice but to rely on him, and sighed: "A person's fate is really unbearable!" So they walked together by water, and when they arrived at Nanpu, the boat leaned against the shore, and saw a woman in a satin dress and pants going to the river to fetch water. Li Yuan asked him the reason in surprise, and he said: "Her surname is Wang, and I am destined to be her son, because I refuse to come, so she has been pregnant for three years and can't give birth, and now that she has met her, she can't escape anymore." Now please use the charm to help me go to reincarnation quickly, and when I take a bath in three days, please come to the king's house to see me, and I will prove it with a smile. Thirteen years later, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when you come to Tianzhu Temple in Hangzhou, I will definitely come to meet you. ”

Li Yuan grieved and regretted on the one hand, and on the other hand, he bathed and changed his clothes, and at dusk, Yuan Ze died, and the woman he saw by the river also gave birth. Three days later, Li Yuan went to see the baby, and when the baby saw Li Yuan, he really smiled, so Li Yuan told the Wang family everything, and the Wang family took the money to bury Yuan Ze at the foot of the mountain. Li Yuan no longer had the intention of visiting the mountain, so he returned to Huilin Temple, and the apprentices in the temple said that Yuan Ze had already written a suicide note.

Thirteen years later, Li Yuan went from Luoyang to Tianzhu Temple in West Lake, Hangzhou, to go to Yuanze's date, and suddenly heard the song of a shepherd boy patting the horns of the cow on the bank of Ge Hongchuan outside the temple: "The old spirit on the Sansheng Stone, the moon and the wind do not need to be discussed, and the old people are ashamed to visit each other from afar, and some of the bodies of the opposite sex are long-lasting." "It means that I am the soul of the people of the past who have passed three lives, and the past of admiring the moon and singing the wind has long been a thing of the past; I'm ashamed to let you come so far to visit me, although my body has changed, my mind is still there.

Li Yuan heard this, knew that it was an old man, and couldn't help but ask, "Zegong, are you okay?" The shepherd boy said: "Li Gongzhen keeps his promise, but unfortunately my common fate is not over, and I can't get close to you anymore, we can only work hard to practice and not fall, and there will be a day when we will meet in the future." Then he sang another song: "Things are vast in front of and behind me, I want to talk about karma and fear of breaking my bowels, Wu Yue has searched all over the country, and wants to go back to the smoke on Qutang." It means that things in front of and behind you are very slim, and you want to talk about the cause but you are afraid of being sad. I've already traveled all the mountains and rivers of Wuyue, so let's turn the bow of the boat to Qutang!

The shepherd boy turned around and went away, never knowing where he had gone.

After another three years, the minister Li Deyu played the emperor and recommended Li Yuan as the son of a loyal minister, and he was very filial, so please give him an official position. So the emperor named Li Yuan as a counselor, but at this time Li Yuan had already understood the situation, saw through the world, refused to take office, and later died in the temple and lived to be eighty years old.

The story of Zen Master Yuanze and Li Yuan has spread widely, and to this day, outside the Tianzhu Temple in Hangzhou West Lake, there is still a big stone, which is said to be the place where they met in the next life, called "Sansheng Stone".

This legend was told to me by my grandfather himself. When telling this ancient legend, my grandfather and I were sitting under the old jujube tree on the floor to enjoy the shade, and my grandfather gently shook the pu fan with one hand, and looked at the stars in the sky without focus, which made me feel like he wanted to fly to the stars, and made me feel that he wanted to return to the era of Zen Master Yuanze and Li Yuan.

I once asked my grandfather if there really was a "three-life stone" in the world.

But my grandfather read me a poem that I didn't understand: "Cutting down trees does not take all their roots, although they are cut down, they are still reborn; Love is not exhaustive, and counting the sufferings of rebirth. It is like making one's own arrow, and it hurts oneself; The same is true of internal arrows, which love arrows to hurt all beings. ”

Of course, I didn't understand what he meant, but I thought it was very deep and mysterious.

When encountering the problem between Li Gang and Yao Xiaojuan, grandpa actually mentioned Sanshengshi, which shows that grandpa is helpless about the matter in front of him, or rather, grandpa doesn't want to rely on his own calculations to predict their bad fate, even if he wants to help them, he can only rely on other ways. For example, Sansheng stone.

If there is an underage person standing next to grandpa, maybe that person will take grandpa's words as the wind in his ears, and he will pass by as soon as it blows. But the person next to Grandpa happened to be Mrs. Ma, who was about the same age as Grandpa. Grandpa's words were like a cold wind, which made Mrs. Ma feel excited.

Old Mrs. Ma's eyes widened again, and she asked her grandfather, "Sansheng Stone?" How did you mention the Sansheng Stone? Could it be that her husband from the previous life came to her? I'm worried about her marriage, but I can't let her stay with a ghost! Mrs. Ma obviously blamed Yao Xiaojuan's state on the entanglement of her husband, who had become a ghost in her previous life. Later events proved that Mrs. Ma's guess was not wrong, but it was not entirely correct.

Mrs. Ma looked at her granddaughter in the house with a sad face.

"Come, suck my blood, take my body! Whatever you need, I'll give you. Naked, she beckoned to the pitch-black clay pot, as if to summon her lover out of the pot.

"We're going to find her three-life stone." Grandpa said worriedly.
