Chapter 250: Searching for the Secret of Longquan Nunnery (I)

The Eight Great Places of Xishan are not only famous in Beijing in later generations, but also in today's Chu Dynasty, they have always been the favorite places for dignitaries and dignitaries to peddlers and pawns. The scenery of the four seasons here is picturesque, and now in this late autumn season, after the autumn frost, the forest is dyed with mountain red dan, which is just pleasing to the eye, and it is even more refreshing to walk in the meantime. Therefore, even these most well-behaved ladies on weekdays can't help but open the curtains of the sedan chair and enjoy the autumn scenery.

When he got off the sedan chair in front of Longquan Nunnery and stood in front of the bluestone plaque, Chen Lan couldn't help but lose his mind for a while, and in a trance, he seemed to have traveled through hundreds of years of time, returning to the time when he stood in front of this mountain gate with his young brother.

"Sister, don't be stunned, hurry in"

Chen Lan was awakened by Zhang Huixin's shouting, and only then did he realize that people were dragging him hard. Involuntarily entering the temple gate, she immediately saw the carved fence square pool. I saw that the square pond was surrounded by bluestone, and the gurgling water flowed to the Shilongkou on the west side of the pond wall, and the trickle fell into the clear pool water, which caused a lot of splashes. Although there was no pool full of coins and the water was clear, she was once again in a slight state of distraction.

"This is the Longquan Nunnery built by the great grandfather, the name of this pool is called Longquan Pool, it is the pattern drawn by the Duke of Chu in the past, and the Ministry of Industry invited a skilled craftsman to draw out the living water from the stone cave of His Royal Highness the Dragon King." The county lord of Yixing slowly stepped forward, and did not shy away from the name that has been lost in history, "On the day of completion, the grandfather and the Duke of Chu once came together, and it is said that they also put incense in the Daxiong Hall and the Dragon King Hall successively, and the Duke of Chu Guogong wrote a song "Sweet Water Song" on a whim. ”

After saying this, the county lord of Yixing turned his head to the owner of the nunnery standing on the side and asked: "The stone carving is said to be the order of Taizu and still remains, but I have read the authentic works of the year, and I remember that it was also collected by Longquan Nunnery, and it is still there now?" ”

The owner of the nunnery is a middle-aged nun in her early forties, dressed plainly, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, only an iron ring is on the wrist of her right hand, and she recited a Buddha with her palms together, so she lowered her head and said: "The county lord forgives the sin, the poor nun has been in charge of Longquan Nunnery for many years, and I have only heard that the "Sweet Water Song" is the grandfather of the Tai Grandpa asked the Ministry of Industry to carve a stone as a souvenir, but I have never heard of it related to the Duke of Chu, and there is no real trace in the nunnery. As for the stone carving of the song "Sweet Water Song", it was struck by thunder decades ago, and because it was a royal thing, no one dared to move it after it was reported...... Well, there it is. ”

Chen Lan had been very attentive as early as when she heard the county lord of Yixing talk about the old things, and when the three words of Sweet Water Song came out, her thoughts gushed out like a tide. The scenery of the eight places in the West Mountain is beautiful, but she only pushes the wheelchair to carry her sick brother through the five Longquan Nunnery, and I remember that I also got a book from a young man in the corner, and the title page is inscribed with the "Sweet Water Song" of the old man of the hoe moon. She was not keen on poetry, but this one was read to her brother word by word, so the memory was unforgettable.

At this moment, she followed the county lord of Yixing to the charred stone carving in a daze, and saw the county lord of Yixing squatting down, casually using a white silk handkerchief to remove the floating ash on the top, and read it word by word, she couldn't help but hold Zhang Huixin's arm tightly, and silently read it in her heart.

"I came to Cui Wei Zhi upside down, there is a Buddha temple named Longquan. The pines and cypresses are lush and thick, and the forests are towering to the sky. The skin is forty around, and the branches are coiled and smoky...... Hey, the words behind this are hard to read, they were struck by lightning? ”

"At four o'clock, the sun does not enter, and the summer is not hot and the wind is cold. Who chiseled the stone and drained the chalcedony, and trickled the spring to flow. Accumulate the square pond to bear the stone, and jump the beads and the famous strings. Chen Lan almost instinctively took it, and then as if he didn't notice the eyes of others, he whispered softly, "The tea is fragrant and cold, and the soup is delicious." Or it is said that the cooking is longevity, and it is reasonable to take it. Laugh at me for drinking this addiction and greed, since the summer and autumn often linger. The light dust and ten zhang wind roared, and the Jingshi was bitter and fighting. An can move this spoonful of spring, sweet and fragrant moisten the mouth. ”

After reading an ancient style "Sweet Water Song", Chen Lan only felt that the whole person was excited, and he was suddenly shocked, but found that the county lord of Yixing and Zhang Huixin were looking at themselves strangely, but the county lord of Yongle and several noble ladies next to him did not know why, the county lord of Yongle smiled and said: "The younger sister of the Chen family is really well-read, and this memory is even more rare." ”

Awakening to the fact that he seemed to be sleepwalking just now, forgetting to hide and keep a low profile, Chen Lan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It's just that standing in this place where she had stayed for a whole day, she quickly calmed down, and said with a smile: "I may not remember those famous poems, I only read such a poem in those miscellaneous books such as notebook notes, and I wrote it down because it was related to Longquan Nunnery, and I just got carried away for a while...... This dragon spring water is good, but are we going to have the fragrance of the Dragon King Hall first, and then we will have a good taste of tea later? ”

As soon as she said this, others smiled and agreed, and for a while, everyone went to the Dragon King Hall. However, the owner of the nunnery, who had just led the way, was lagging behind at this time, and she glanced thoughtfully at the black stone carving in the lower half, and then followed quietly.

After a group of noble ladies burned incense in the Dragon King Hall, it was already very early. It is said that it is the Double Ninth Festival to come to these eight places to incense, but everyone knows that it is impossible to travel all over these eight places in one day, so it was originally the ninth day of the first month and the eleventh day, and this night is set to stay in this Longquan Nunnery, and the accompanying group of brocade guards are stationed at the foot of the mountain, so as not to disturb the purity of this nunnery.

Longquan Nunnery has always been known for its elegance and tranquility among the eight major places, and now it is naturally a little difficult to assign such a number of distinguished guests. Only the county lord of Yixing has greeted people before, and Mrs. Yiying no matter what she does on weekdays, this time she lives in twos and threes. Chen Lan and Zhang Huixin lived in the Tingquan Water Pavilion between the Daxiong Hall and the Wenchang Pavilion. When Zhang Huixin first came to see everything, it was novel, and only Chen Lan knew that although this Longquan Nunnery was quite similar to the one in later generations, the local pattern was larger, and even this spring pavilion was different from her impression.

After the evening meal, Chen Lan couldn't let go of the chaotic thoughts in his heart after all, so he proposed to the county lord of Yixing that he wanted to go outside and eat for a while. Because the outer brocade guards cleared the mountain early, and there were also female soldiers transferred from their own mansions around the nunnery, the county lord of Yixing nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, there is still some moon tonight, but you still bring a long dysprosium and red tassel with you, so as not to have anything happen...... Huixin, aren't you going with Alan? ”

"No, I've been bumping in the sedan chair all day, I'm sleepy" Zhang Huixin, who was still alive and well in several temples earlier, yawned at this moment, stretched his waist and looked at Chen Lan apologetically and said, "Sister, I won't accompany you, you should be careful...... Especially don't lose your mind and plant yourself in the Longquan Pool."

"My sister is joking with me again, I'll go out first, take a few steps to eliminate food"

Chen Lan glanced at Zhang Huixin, and then went out with Changdi and Hongying. It wasn't until she stood in the bluestone paved courtyard, sprinkled with the bright brilliance of the half moon, that she faded away from the smiling face in front of the people, revealing a stunned and trance expression. Fortunately, she remembered that she was followed by two maids, and soon walked out slowly. Unconsciously, she walked to the Longquan Pond again, walked around the pool for half a circle, and it was the ghost who stopped in front of the stone carving.

She came to this strange era alone, although she gradually gained family and friendship, and she may be able to have a love for each other in the near future, but the loneliness and loneliness in her bones are incompatible, but no one can experience it, and she can't confide in anyone. However, Taizu Lin Changhui and Chu Guogong, a pair of people who came from the same place and fought together to conquer the world all their lives, obviously knew each other like that, why did they get to that point in the end?

"Can we share adversity and hardship, but can't we share prosperity?"

"Amitabha."

Chen Lan muttered in a very low voice, but the sudden sound of the Buddha horn on her side startled her, and she almost instinctively flashed to the side, only then did she see the master of Longquan Nunnery wearing a gray monk's robe coming out of the shadow of the trees on the side. She was absent-minded during the day, and she didn't remember the name of the other person, but when she saw each other at first glance, she was a little embarrassed after being surprised, so she had to nod vaguely and call the master of the nunnery.

"Listen to the clear spring under the moon, the county lord of Haining is good Yaxing." There was a faint smile on the face of the lord of Longquan Nunnery, and after saluting, he said, "The county lord wants to come to Longquan Nunnery for the first time, if you don't dislike it, how about the poor nun as a guide and take you around?" ”

In the evening, all the ladies were tired, and after the incense, they went to the side of the elegant room to taste the fragrant tea soaked in Longquan water, no one had the heart to wander outside, Chen Lan naturally went with the flow, at this time he just wanted to visit this old place again. Therefore, although she felt that the appearance of the master of Longquan Nunnery was a little strange, she was still followed by Changdi and Hongying, and after hesitating for a while, she nodded in agreement.

Daxiong Palace, Wenchang Pavilion, Woyou Pavilion, Patriarch Hall...... After visiting one place after another, the owner of Longquan Nunnery did not deliberately set it close, but told the allusions of the Ministry of Industry to build these places and even how to find Longquan water, not like a person outside the world, but like a talented woman who knows the classics. Therefore, when he entered the Wenmiaoxiang Garden, although the trees in the garden had already revealed a gloomy meaning, and the crown of the spring and summer was no longer like a shade, Chen Lan's mood was unconsciously calm. So, when the owner of Longquan Nunnery offered to make tea for guests, she naturally left Changdi and red tassels at the gate of Wenmiaoxiang Garden.

The small wind stove boils water, and the purple clay pot serves guests. After elegantly washing the cup of filter tea and pouring the tea, the lord of Longquan Nunnery personally offered a cup to Chen Lan, seeing her raise her glass and sip gently, her eyes flashed, and then she seemed to ask casually: "In front of Longquan Pool today, I heard that the county lord of Haining recited that sweet water song, but the poor nun had some doubts in his heart. When the poor nun was a child, he once heard the patriarch mention that the sweet water song on this stone carving is only four sentences and eight verses, but the county lord of Haining just chanted eleven sentences, I don't know which literati notes it was in when I saw this poem? ”

Although these words are like that cup of tea, they are fresh and elegant, without any fireworks, but Chen Lan heard it like a lightning strike in his ears.

PS: I can't bear it, it's really lazy, it's hard to be lazy, I know it's wrong on the monthly ** list, if you still have the trouble of guaranteeing pink, support it, there are less than 30 hours left in the double pink** activity, and I also learn from the master of Longquan Nunnery to thank you
