Chapter 389: Three Thousand Weak Waters

The term weak water is not unfamiliar, and many people like it.

"Three thousand weak water, only take one scoop to drink."

It is considered to be a love motto in the sea of love, a love proverb for infatuated men and women, expressing loyalty to love.

Actually, it's not, it's just a Buddhist scripture.

The original intention is to remind people not to get lost in the bustling world, not to be distracted by too many things, just grab one and treat it with your heart.

It's just that this sentence has become a symbol of love in Cao Xueqin's pen.

In modern times, it is highly regarded by many young men and women.

There are many texts that record weak water.

There are "Ten Continents in the Sea": Fenglin Continent, in the middle of the West Sea, the land is 15,000 miles wide, the weak water is around, all things are not born on the weak water, the feathers do not float, the birds are difficult to cross, the weak water is a deep swamp, the ground python can be seen, and it is said that there is a place where there is no life.

The meaning of this is to say:

The weak water is on the shore of Fenglin Island in the middle of the West Sea, which is extremely difficult to find.

And it is divided into two layers, the upper layer is the stagnant water where all things are alive, and the lower layer is a bottomless swamp, and there is a monster called the ground python living in the swamp, and people who go wherever are dead and lifeless.

"Shangshu Yugong" also has sentences such as "guide the weak water to Heli, and the aftermath enters the quicksand".

In the "Commentary on Modern and Ancient Texts", there is a description of "weak water out of Zhangye".

Su Dongpo also has poems: Penglai is unreachable, and the weak water is 30,000 miles.

There are also rumors that there is also weak water under the Kunlun Hill......

However, the vicissitudes of life, the world has long been different from the original appearance, where should we go to find weak water, to find fairy tears chalcedony?

I looked at the five-clawed golden dragon and asked, "Second brother, if you find weak water, do you dare to go down?" ”

It's rare that this thing didn't talk about it, and his head shook into a rattle: "I won't go to that kind of ghost place where goose feathers don't float and reeds sink to the bottom, and I'm not stupid." ”

At this time, Qilin, who has been in a sluggish state these days and has few words, suddenly raised another question.

"If the fairy tears chalcedony is really not desirable under weak water, then how did those that have been passed down in the world come from? Maybe there's a way to get it out. ”

When Qilin said these words, his eyes were always on Li Di.

Li Di nodded, and then expressed her opinion: "Nothing is immutable, after the changes of heaven and earth, some weak water must have dried up, and those chalcedony in the world probably come from the dry land of weak water." ”

"Weak water is hard to find, and dry weak water is even harder to find, where are we going to find it?"

Li Di glanced at me: "You, you are a pessimist, or a dead brain, why do we have to find it ourselves, can't we start from other aspects?" ”

"Anything else?" I can't guess what kind of medicine Li Di sells in the gourd, but listening to this, she should have an idea.

"We can go buy it!"

Li Di smiled angrily when he saw that I was still unenlightened.

"Who would sell something so valuable?" I thought it was a good idea.

"A bear's paw, B arsenic, we think this thing is a treasure, maybe someone else uses it as an ordinary jade?"

The reason is such a reason, but is there really such a person in the world who does not know treasures?

I still don't think it's feasible.

However, the five-clawed golden dragon listened to Li Di's words, rolled his eyes, clapped his hands and said, "What the girl said makes some sense, but where should we go to buy it?" ”

"Ghost City!"

It's a ghost market again......

Early the next morning, Li Di and I, the five-clawed golden dragon, the unicorn, and Li Di's uncle got on the train to Linzhou.

The idea of going to the ghost market was given by Li Di's uncle, and Li Di just conveyed it.

"Senior, there are so many ghost markets in the world, why do we want to go to that inconspicuous place in Linzhou?" I still think it's a bit incredible.

Li Di is uncle smiled: "Although there are many ghost markets in the world, the ghost market in Linzhou City is the oldest and largest, and there are the most cultivators and ghosts from all walks of life. In the early years, it was called a ghost town, and then it became a ghost city after going to a state judgment......"

With nothing to do on the train and plenty of time, Li Di's uncle told us the story of the ghost market in Linzhou.

It is said that during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty.

There is a student named Shi Xiuzhi, a young and diligent man, who won the Jinshi and was elected as the judge of Linzhou Prefecture.

The night before leaving, a friend of his classmate hurried to his house and told him: "You must not go to Linzhou City, where the successive state judges will die within half a month, and now, no official dares to go to that place for more than ten years." ”

Shi Xiuzhi was very puzzled and asked, "Why do you lose your life if you become an official?" Could it be that the people there are fierce and the villagers dare to kill officials? ”

The friend said: "The whole world is not the king's land, how dare the people kill officials?" They were all killed by demons. ”

Shi Xiuzhi disagreed after hearing this: "You and I are reading the book of sages, practicing the way of Confucius and Mencius, and being righteous and powerful, how can you be afraid of a few little ghosts?" ”

Seeing that he was so obsessed, his friend was anxious: "You don't know anything!" In the whole Linzhou City, there are only more than 1,000 households, the land is barren and sparsely populated, the thorns and hazel rubble, full of depression, there are more than ten times more ghosts than people, and the ghosts dare to come out and run around in broad daylight. I advise you not to do it. ”

Shi Xiuzhi has been studying hard for many years, and it was not easy for her to get into an official position, how could she give up?

Besides, he really doesn't believe in evil, and he doesn't believe that any ghost dares to come out in broad daylight.

In the face of the persuasion of his friends, he didn't care, but resolutely went to Linzhou to take office.

Linzhou City is indeed not small, but Shi Xiuzhi walked dozens of miles on the outskirts of the city and saw no people.

The land in the mountains is fertile, but no one cultivates it.

Again, the big trees that need to be hugged by several people are full of eyes, and the beasts are chasing each other......

Shi Xiuzhi realized that what his friend said was true.

I couldn't help but mutter.

When he entered the city, he saw the streets of the market, the furnishings of department stores, the pedestrians were weaving, bustling, and lively, and compared with the capital, he was very happy.

I am happy that the place where I am in office is such a prosperous scene, and I can come here to be an official, and it is also my ancestral tomb that is smoking.

At the same time, he secretly rejoiced that he had not believed his friend's words before.

In this way, Shi Xiuzhi wandered around the city for a long time, and only arrived at the yamen when it was dark.

There was an old man guarding the door in the yamen, and he was about to get off work, so he hurriedly said to Shi Xiuzhi: "There are a lot of empty houses in the backyard, and the adults must be tired from hurrying, so let's rest first, and then take the adults around." ”

Indeed, according to what the old man said, Shi Xiuzhi continued to travel for a few days, and she was already tired.

After the old man left, he found a random room to live in.

When he was in a daze, he seemed to hear a woman's laughter in the courtyard, and in a trance he thought he had heard it wrong, and he didn't care, so he turned over and continued to sleep.

Early the next morning, Shi Xiuzhi woke up, and through the open back window, she suddenly saw a beautifully furnished house in the backyard......
