Thirty-eight Jiang Gan is spiritual

Summary: The following is a famous Taiwanese legend, which has spread widely and far-reaching and has influenced the social history of ancient Taiwan for thousands of years. Today's young people may no longer know the content of the story, but the common saying "Luohan feet" is still a household name.

In the dark night, Jiang Gan crawled out of the reeds and said to himself: "It's so dangerous! Thanks to my cleverness, I was able to avoid Zhou Tai and avoid the disaster of blood light. If you don't die in a great calamity, you will have a blessing in the future. But where to stay now? ”

Jiang Gan walked around in the dark.

Suddenly, a huge animal stood up in front of Jiang Gan.

"Tiger!" Jiang Gan suddenly collapsed to the ground.

At this time, four or five more huge animals stood up around Jiang Gan one after another.

Jiang Gan shouted: "My life is over!" ”

Jiang Gan suddenly lay straight on the ground.

The huge animals wagked their tails, walked away in a hurry, and lay down again not far away—they turned out to be just a few cows.

The frightened Jiang Gan sat on the ground, stroked his chest, shook his head and panted.

Suddenly, one hand grabbed Jiang Gan.

Jiang Gan suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The military master spares his life, the military master spares his life." I'm just a scholar, and I don't know how to fight and kill. ”

A young man, Bai Zhong (Bai Zhi's son), pulled up Jiang Gan and said, "What military master, you can see clearly, I am not a soldier." ”

Jiang Gan saw that he was a young man, so he recovered his original spirit, and said in full clothes: "You are not a military master, who are you a military master?" ”

Bai Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you asking me to be a military master?" Hmph, I'm the debt collector of the military master! ”

When Jiang Gan heard this, he was like-minded, so he asked, "What debt do you want to collect?" ”

Bai Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Blood debt! They killed my father, and I will get it back from them. Come, aren't you hungry? Come with me, I've got something to eat. ”

As soon as Jiang Gan heard that he had a fellow Taoist and something to eat, he immediately had the spirit and walked with Ding Boy.

Bai Zhong led Jiang Gan into a ruined temple.

Bai Zhong said: "Xiucai, this is it. There are still some offerings on the incense table, enough for the two of us to eat. ”

The two of them shared the offerings.

Jiang Gan asked, "Little brother, why did you save me?" ”

Bai Zhong said: "I'm watching you fight nearby. I thought that you were strong enough to defeat the Eastern Wu soldiers. Unexpectedly, as soon as the battle began, you would be crushed and flee for your life. What a bunch of big rice buckets. ”

Jiang Gan nodded and said, "I know." You have a grudge against the Eastern Wu soldiers, and you want us to defeat the Eastern Wu soldiers to avenge you? ”

Bai Zhong said hatefully: "Yes, I just want to see the defeat of the Eastern Wu soldiers and the death of the water chestnut!" ”

Jiang Gantan asked, "Who is the water chestnut?" ”

Bai Zhong said: "Water chestnut and lotus leaf are the two girls next to the princess. At that time, my father Bai Zhi was going to fight with Lotus Ye, and the water chestnut and the Fuso ronin Miki suddenly attacked my father, and my father was killed by them. ”

Jiang Gan asked again, "Then how did you come to Yizhou?" ”

Bai Zhong said: "After I buried my father, I heard that they were coming to Yizhou, so I helped on a merchant ship and waited for them on a ship to Yizhou first. ”

Jiang Gan patted Bai Zhong on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, good boy, ambitious!" I will help you, and you will be able to take revenge. ”

Bai Zhong smiled: "So many of your soldiers have been defeated. You're only one left, and you can still help me? ”

Jiang Gan looked at himself very high and said: "A basket of cabbage (radish) is not as good as a ginseng." The young lord Sun Yuan only relied on the courage of a horseman, and he relied on a lot of soldiers, and he didn't need the clever tricks of the mountain people, so he deserved to be defeated. ”

Bai Zhong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." Xiucai, if you have any clever plan for us to set up a foothold in Yizhou, I will worship you as a gentleman. ”

Jiang Gan said: "To gain a foothold, why is it difficult? Think about it. ”

Jiang Gan shook his feather fan in the ruined temple, pacing around, looking east, west, turning forward, turning backward.

Jiang Gan carefully examined the statue of each Arhat in the temple.

Jiang Gan said in an expert tone: "Okay! Good! If it comes, it will be safe. Although the temple is dilapidated, it is very spacious and can accommodate 100 people. Taking this as a business can become a big climate. ”

Bai Zhong felt amused and said: "This dilapidated temple, the incense is extremely poor, you and I can't eat enough, and we still need a hundred and ten people to come?" ”

Jiang Gan said with confidence: "The temple is not big, there are immortals and spirits." As long as we let the incense burn, we will have no worries about food and clothing."

Bai Zhong asked seriously: "This temple seems to have been dilapidated for a long time, how can it be said that it is prosperous?" ”

Jiang Gan said in a deep voice: "The store should be prosperous, and the signboard should be bright." If the temple wants to be prosperous, first of all, the plaque should be light. Little brother, you first take a broom in the corner of the wall to clean the plaque in front of the door, and sweep away the powder spider silk. ”

Bai Zhong had doubts in his heart and asked, "If you clean the plaque, will the temple be prosperous?" ”

Jiang Gan smiled and said affirmatively: "Yes, the results are immediate, and it will be prosperous tomorrow." ”

Bai Zhong was suspicious and went to clean the plaque at the temple gate.

Jiang Gan saw Bai Zhong cleaning the plaque at the temple gate, and secretly rejoiced that he had found a good helper. He walked up to the statue of the Arhat with clear ears, pulled out the ear spoon in the Arhat's hand, and embedded a small magnet in it. Then write on a piece of paper, dip it on a bamboo skewer, and wrap a layer of iron sheet on the top of the bamboo skewer.

Bai Zhong came in and said, "The plaque has been cleaned." ”

Jiang Gan went out to look at the plaque, and there were three words: "Luohan Hall".

Jiang Gan praised: "What a 'Luohan Hall', good!" ”

Bai Zhongzhong asked: "Xiucai just said: The temple is not big, there are immortals. Where is this immortal? ”

Jiang Gan pretended to answer mysteriously: "Where is the immortal?" Rongshan people take a closer look. ”

Jiang Gan pretended to look at the statues one by one, and suddenly said in surprise: "There is, there are immortals." ”

Bai Zhong asked, "Where are the immortals?" ”

Jiang Gan respectfully bowed to the statue of the Qing'er Arhat and said: "The gods are above, the ancestors are above, and they are worshiped by the mountain people." ”

Bai Zhong asked, "How can you see that this Arhat is an immortal?" ”

Jiang Gan pretended to worship and pray, and then said, "Little brother, you also come to worship." ”

Bai Zhong was inexplicable, and he also worshipped.

Jiang Gan said: "Yes, after worshipping, take the bamboo stick to worship again, and see what the sign will come out?" ”

Bai Zhong raised a lot to worship.

Jiang Gan instructed: "The heart should be sincere, and the sign holder should be held a little higher." ”

Bai Zhong held up the sign and bowed.

Jiang Gan pointed out: "People should move forward, move forward, lift higher, hold higher, lift higher again—good!" ”

Bai Zhong stopped, turned around and asked Jiang Gandao, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Gan smiled mysteriously, pointing to the hand of the Arhat God.

When Bai Zhong saw it, he was taken aback, it turned out that a bamboo stick was already in the hands of the Arhat God Statue.

Jiang Gan took off the bamboo stick and said with a smile: "Little brother, look at it, what is written on it?" ”

Bai Zhong took the bamboo stick and read: "It's rare to get rid of dust once in a hundred years,

Since then, the Arhat Gate has been glorified.

Dust white loyal arhat hand,

The arhat slave must be Jiang Tongshen. ”

Jiang Ganzan said: "I didn't expect the little brother to be able to understand words. ”

Bai Zhong recalled with a complicated expression and said: "At that time, I was in the princess's fleet with my father, and the princess either asked us to practice every day, or taught us to read and write. ”

Jiang Gan nodded and said, "I see." Little brother, do you understand what you signed? ”

Bai Zhong shook his head and said, "I don't understand." What an arhat hand, an arhat slave's. ”

Jiang Gan nodded deeply and said, "It's right if you don't understand, so you are an Arhat." And the mountain people, I can understand the heavens and the gods, so I am an arhat slave. ”

Bai Zhong said with a smile: "The Luohan slave is a slave and has to listen to the master's words, so the Luohan slave has to listen to the Luohan's hand?" ”

Jiang Gan shook his head deeply and said, "No, no." The hands of the arhats and the feet of the arhats are the hands and feet. The Arhat slave is dedicated to listening to the divine decree of the Arhat Patriarch, and is the slave of the Arhat Patriarch, and only listens to the Arhat Patriarch. To know the ancestor's magic machine, you must come and ask Luohannu. The arhat hand is to follow the divine will of the patriarch. In this way, the Luohan Gate will be carried forward, it will be prosperous, and the incense will be prosperous. ”

Bai Zhong smiled: "I understand. The arhat hand should listen to the arhat slave. What Luohan Nu is talking about is the oracle of the Arhat patriarch. ”

Jiang Gan praised: "What a clever and good guy." There is a chance, and the shaft can be taught. Now you go and take the cow. ”

Bai Zhong was very unaccustomed to Jiang Gan's commander, and said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of cow? ”

Jiang Gan said: "On our way to Luohan Hall, there were five or six cows. You go and lead the two ends to a remote place and hide. Tomorrow someone comes to look for the cow, and you say that the Arhat Patriarch has appeared, very spiritual, very spiritual. Bring him to worship the Arhat Patriarch, burn incense and draw lots, and the Patriarch will tell him where to look. ”

Bai Zhong looked at each other and said, "Why did I steal it?" ”

Jiang Gan patiently explained: "Little brother, you are an Arhat. The teenager is nimble. Like an old man with chaotic feet and hands, how can he do it? ”

Bai Zhong knew that he was going to do the first bad thing in his life, but he was still reluctant, and said: "When you are young, you will steal the reed (gourd), and when you are old, you will steal the morning glory." I didn't steal reeds when I was a kid, so why do I have to steal petunia now? ”

Jiang Gan smiled and comforted him: "This is the first shot, and it is very important." If after success, when the incense is prosperous, we will collect a few more Arhat feet, and we can arrange Arhat Feet to do those chores, and your Arhat hands will be relaxed. ”

Bai Zhong asked, "What is an arhat foot?" ”

Jiang Gan said: "Luohan's feet are specialized in running errands. If there is anything in the future, the arhat hand will just explain the arhat's feet to do it. ”

Bai Zhong nodded and smiled.
