Chapter 21: The Dream Parable
Lao She appeared at the door of the main hall and complained: "Why did you come alone, there are many wild beasts in the mountains at night, and it is very unsafe." ”
"We've found the male." Arara told him.
At this moment, Youliang's yin eyes could no longer see the air masses mixed with the two colors, and they had all been inhaled into Erya's body.
Lao She was surprised: "Really? Where is it? ”
Er Ya opened her eyes, spread her hands, and the two witch cicadas in her palms were already separated.
Lao She glanced at Erya happily, grabbed it in his hand and looked at it in the moonlight, and hurriedly shouted: "Xiaojin, magnetometer." ”
Xiao Jin handed over the magnetometer, flipped the switch, and placed the two witch cicadas on it, the reading at the moment was zero, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "What's the matter?" ”
Lao She glanced at Erya and did not make a sound.
Erya yawned and said, "These two jade jade are for you to study, I'm really sleepy after tossing for most of the night, Brother Youliang, let's go back to sleep." ”
Hearing this, Secretary Xing looked at Youliang meaningfully, and asked quietly, "You two are already that?" ”
"What that?" Youliang was surprised.
"Don't be embarrassed, it's just like us." Kerr giggled.
Youliang blushed and hurriedly explained, "It's nothing." ”
"Now that we've found it, let's go back together." Lao She led everyone down the mountain and returned to the inn.
When I returned to the room and just lay down, the next door made a "hey" sound again, Youliang and Erya looked at each other and smiled, Secretary Xing's wryhead was really powerful.
Did Erya know that he had inhaled the unidentified air mass sealed in the body of the male and female witch cicadas? Youliang wanted to ask her very much, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed back, since she gave the jade to Lao She, it means that she knows that the Wu Cicada has been abolished, otherwise the ancestral things of the Sun family should never be given away. Erya may have something to hide from herself, as the only descendant of the Medicine King, she must know what to say.
Arira couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, and Erya had already made an even breathing sound.
The next day, Lao She settled the account, everyone returned by jeep, along the way Lao She seemed to be very happy, and Er Ya seemed to be preoccupied, sitting in the corner and falling into reverie.
Back in Xi'an, Lao She broke up with a few of them, and then left with the pair of Yuwan.
"Let's go to Qingyuan Temple tomorrow." Erya said suddenly.
"Qingyuan Temple? What are you going to do? Secretary Xing asked puzzled.
Sure enough, she knew something, and Youliang confirmed her guess, and looked at Erya suspiciously.
"I dreamed last night that the tomb of the Medicine King was in Qingyuan Temple." Erya said hesitantly, and her tone didn't seem to be very sure.
"You dreamed of the Tomb of the Medicine King?" Arara stared and asked.
"I don't know why, I've never had a similar dream before, and the scenes of those mountains and temples are vivid, as if I had seen them before."
Could it be that the air mass sealed by the witch cicada is just a distant memory? Youliang seems to understand that he is wrong to blame Erya, Sun Simiao sealed the situation about his tomb in the ancient Zhuyou witch cicada before his death, only the descendants of the Sun family inhaled these memories and got enlightenment in their dreams, as for what male and female jade are in different places, maybe it is a means of prevention for the king of medicine.
"Is the Tomb of the Medicine King underground?" Kerr was in high spirits.
"From a materialist point of view, this is just an illusion caused by the fact that some cells in the brain are still active, and it is not to be relied upon." Secretary Xing explained.
"Whether or not the dream foreshadows are reliable, it's worth a try." Arira said resolutely.
Erya glanced approvingly.
Secretary Xing looked at Ke'er, Ke'er scolded him, and said coquettishly: "Xianggong, let's go have fun." ”
"It's good, it's been quite hard these two days, let's go have a good meal first." Secretary Xing also agreed.
That night, I stayed in Xi'an and prepared to go to Qingyuan Temple the next day.
At the same time, Sun Yifeng in the hostel answered the phone.
"They will go to the ruins of Qingyuan Temple in Lantian Gongchuan, you hurry up and go to Gongchuan Township to spy on me, call me immediately if there is a situation, be careful not to act rashly." The other end of the line commanded.
"Yes, Lao Bai." Sun Yifeng responded.
"Got news?" Li Lin asked.
"Let's go." The two hurriedly packed up and checked out the hostel, stretched out their hands to stop a taxi, and told the driver that they were going to Gongchuan Township, Lantian County, but they didn't notice the blind old beggar sitting on the ground at the gate of the hostel.
"Gongchuan Township, what are they going to do there?" The old blind man Liu 13 was puzzled, he walked into the automatic telephone booth on the corner of the street and hung up the phone in the capital.
"Boss, Li Lin met with Sun Yifeng in Xi'an, and the two rushed to Gongchuan Township in Lantian County overnight." Liu 13 said in a low voice.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then a voice came: "The two of them must have a plot to meet secretly in Xi'an, you still keep an eye on them quietly, I will send someone to assist you secretly." ”
About five kilometers southwest of Lantian County, between the mountains of Kunshan, the quiet Sichuan Road is densely wooded, in ancient times, there was a lake called "Xiang" here, bringing together the streams and rivers that come from all directions, the ring is meandering, the twists and turns are connected, the rivers and lakes and mountains and valleys constitute a big wheel rim shape, so it is named "Rim River". The scenery here is charming, quiet and deep, it has always been a place of fascination for dignitaries and scribes, and it is known as the reputation of "Zhong Lantian, the beauty of the south, and the one who thrives is the Rim River".
During his seclusion in this place, Wang Wei, a great poet of the landscape pastoral school in the Tang Dynasty, created the famous "Twenty Songs of the Rim River" and the painting "The Picture of the Rim River", comprehending the way of heaven and earth and seeing through the chaos of the world. Its famous sentence "After the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn." The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream" is even more popular, so that the Rim River is well known to the world.
The next day, Secretary Xing and the four of them took a taxi and walked more than 20 kilometers to the beautiful Rongchuan Township in Lantian County.
Erya looked out the window suspiciously, and muttered: "It's not here, it's not like it at all, the driver's master, where is Qingyuan Temple?" ”
"Qingyuan Temple? Haven't heard of it. The driver replied.
Secretary Xing smiled and said, "Erya, you should admit it this time, what you see in your dream is very different from reality, or even diametrically opposite, so idealism is unacceptable." ”
"I don't believe it." Er Ya pulled the car door and ran towards an old man sketching on the grass below the road.
"Old uncle, is this Gongchuan?" She asked urgently.
"Yes, this is the place." The old man replied.
"Where is the Qingyuan Temple, why can't you see it?"
The old man looked at the little girl in surprise: "Do you also know the Qingyuan Temple?" ”
Erya was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Yes, please tell me where it is." ”
The old man looked puzzled and hesitated: "Tang Qingyuan Temple was later renamed 'Luyuan Temple', and in 1963, Xiangyang Commune built a factory under Feiyun Mountain, destroying the temple and Wang Wei's villa. ”
Secretary Xing and others also got out of the car and came over, and while greeting each other, they learned that the old man with glasses was Professor Guan from the Shaanxi Academy of Fine Arts, and he came here to sketch on Sunday.
"Just call me Secretary Xing." Secretary Xing said happily.
"This little girl's words are surprising, and now few people know about the Qingyuan Temple in the Tang Dynasty." Professor Kwan said.
"Erya dreamed of it while sleeping, and the result does not match reality, which is the fallacy produced by the subjective conjecture of idealism." Secretary Xing criticized.
"Dreamed?" Professor Guan was even more surprised, "Little girl, have you ever been to Gongchuan before and seen a picture of Qingyuan Temple?" ”
Erya shook her head and said, "I have never left Hanzhong since I was a child. ”
"Well, what does the Qingyuan Temple in your dream look like?" Professor Guan asked with interest.
Erya described the appearance of Qingyuan Temple in her dream, and Professor Guan's smile gradually converged and became more and more serious.
"The temple you are talking about is Qingyuan Temple, wait a minute," Professor Guan turned around and took out a picture album from his schoolbag and handed it to Erya, "Do you see if there is anything you dreamed of here?" ”
Er Ya flipped the pages of the book, pointed to one of the paintings and said, "This is it, but there is a wooden archway in front of the temple gate, on which is written 'Qingyuan Temple'." ”
Professor Guan said slowly: "The wooden archway was destroyed in the late Tang Dynasty, and it is only recorded in the county annals. ”
Secretary Xing shook his head disapprovingly, his head was still full of theories instilled in the era of political leadership, even though he himself was a wormhead who violated materialism.
When Professor Kwan asked if he could take them to find the ruins of Qingyuan Temple, Professor Kwan readily agreed, and he was also full of curiosity about the girl Erya, who was inconceivable that young people in the twentieth century could dream of things more than a thousand years ago.
Arirashi ran onto the highway, paid the driver, and sent the taxi away.
On the way to the ruins of Qingyuan Temple on foot, Professor Guan pointed to the village and town to the east and said to Erya: "Have you heard of the story of 'Tail Life Holding the Pillar'? It happened in Lanyu over there. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a young man named Weisheng in Lu State, who fell in love with a girl Yunying here, and the two made a private agreement for life, because the woman's parents disagreed with the marriage because of the poor family background, so the girl decided to elope with her family behind her back, and agreed to meet by the wooden bridge, and then both went away and flew high. At dusk, Oyo waited on the bridge for a long time to see Yunying's arrival, but unexpectedly the dark clouds were thick, lightning and thunder roared, and the torrential rain poured down. Soon there was a flash flood, and the rolling river was swept in with mud and sand, slowly submerging the bridge deck. Osheng looked around at the vast water and still saw no sign of the girl, but he kept in mind the oath of 'the bridge deck outside the city, not to see or leave', and held on to the bridge pillar tightly, and was finally drowned alive. It turned out that Yun Ying's idea of eloping was leaked, and she was imprisoned at home by her parents and could not get out, so she waited for an opportunity to escape from the house at night and came to the bridge in the rain. At this time, the flood gradually receded, and the girl saw Osheng who was dying clinging to the bridge pillars, and was overwhelmed with grief, picked up Oji's body and cried, and the two hugged each other and jumped into the boiling river. ”
Listening to this poignant story, Erya unconsciously felt endless sourness in her heart, as if she was in the scene, the rolling flood covered the sky and the sun, and there was a heart-rending cry in her ears
"Erya, why are you crying?" Yura was surprised to find that her eyes were red.
"This little girl has a kind heart, probably because she heard the story and fell in love." Professor Guan shook his head and sighed.
"Xianggong, can you be like Tail Sheng until death without falling in love with the slave family?" Ke'er was also greatly moved, and asked Secretary Xing emotionally.
"That's natural, 'from the beginning to the end' is the minimum moral standard of party members." Secretary Xing said.
Professor Guan glanced at them in surprise, and felt that these words sounded very lame.
