Li Ruhui handed the hot morning to Zong Zhenlei and said, "I forgot to ask you, have you ever been to the city library before?" Do you want me to show you the way? She was worried that Zong Zhenlei had not been to the new site of the city library.

Today's trip to the city library was made yesterday by the two of them.

Yesterday, Li Ruhui told Zong Zhenlei on the phone that Professor Li asked to find a new breakthrough, and said: "Since the professor asked to find a new breakthrough, can we find it from the original origin of the temple?" When Miaofeng Zen Master built Yongzuo Temple, according to Hanshan, it was invited by Zhu Minchun, the king of Jin Mu, so is there a record of invitation in the historical data? If you find out that the letter also mentions 'Ejian' or something, wouldn't it be even more joyful? ”

Zong Zhenlei said with a smile: "It's also a good idea to check the invitation letter. Where do you want to search for your Hida Puben? ”

"Don't laugh at me! I didn't have a clue to come up with this idea. It's been a long time since I've been to the city library, and I don't know if the local Ming Dynasty information there will be richer, so let's go there tomorrow to see. ”

"What time am I going to pick you up tomorrow morning?"

"The new building of the city library is in Hexi, I will take bus 868 to go there, you can drive yourself."

"It takes you more than an hour to take the bus from S University, it's a waste of time!"

"I know, isn't it just so you can get an extra hour of sleep!"

"Don't spoil me! I'll pick you up, and I'll be there at half-past eight. ”

Li Ruhui paused: "It's okay, I'm a sincere person, so I'll listen to you; This saves time, and you can get to the next place when you're done in one place. ”

Zong Zhenlei smiled: "A time to break in half to use? It's too picky! Her words came from the phone, and he quickly closed the line.

Zong Zhenlei met Li Ruhui today, and just wanted to talk to her about reading last night, and after listening to her question, he responded: "I've been, I went to the children's reading room of the city library when I was a child, next to Wenying Park, have you been there when you were a child?" ”

Li Ruhui laughed: "Wenying Park is the former children's park, when I was a child, the adults in my family often took me there, and I loved to play with the big octopus, flying sky, spinning teacups and so on; Later, when I got older, I often went with my classmates to Haizibian Street next to the park to buy clothes. ”

Zong Zhenlei remembered the historical records of the Ming Dynasty: "That Haizibian, called Haiziyan in the Ming Dynasty, killed many people from the Zhu Ming royal family there when Li Zicheng was defeated. ”

Li Ruhui seemed to be nostalgic for childhood memories, still thinking about the scenery of Wenying Park, and said: "Wenying Park also has a tower, which is a glazed tower. ”

Zong Zhenlei said while stuffing his mouth early: "I know, the tower was originally 'Simei Garden', mentioned in the Qing Dynasty novel "Flower Moon Traces", it is said that during the Republic of China, it was the favorite place of the five sisters of the Yan family, and later the 'Simei Garden' was gone, and the glazed tower was moved to Wenying Park. ”

Li Ruhui let out an "oh", turned back to the topic and said, "I didn't ask about it, I asked if you went to the new city library?" ”

"I haven't been to the new museum, but I know that it is on Binhe West Road, and the map is between Yingze Street and Yifen Street."

"Shall I show you the way?"

"You don't need to show the way, there is navigation; I noticed the façade of that building on the Internet, it was very special and easy to find. ”

While speaking, the car had already gotten off the Yingze Bridge, turned to Wenxing Road, and entered the parking lot of the city library after a while.

After entering the library, the two of them immediately entered the state of work according to the previous division of labor, one flipped through the catalog of ancient books, and the other looked for inscriptions and stone carvings.

After a while, the two of them met, and they were both a little disappointed, because they had not found the information they needed; The two decided not to divide the two ways, and together they searched for the modern materials of Yongzuo Temple.

When looking at the pictures of Yongzuo Temple again, Zong Zhenlei suddenly said to Li Ruhui next to him that he had a new idea.

The two came to the verandah, Zong Zhenlei said: "When I looked at the brick carving of Yongzuo Temple just now, I thought that since Zen Master Miaofeng can express the rich connotation on the mountain flower brick carving of the Sansheng Pavilion, it is not necessarily just that the brick carving has a 'commentary'. ”

Li Ruhui agreed: "During the video conference yesterday, Mr. Hong asked 'what form will it be expressed', and I thought of this question, since words can express people's thinking, graphics are not the same things that can be expressed!" ”

Zong Zhenlei said: "You're right, you can expand it; I remembered that when you first went to Yongzuo Temple, we 'discussed the sword' into the different paths of the tower courtyard, which gave rise to an idea, since the function of the two towers can be interpreted by the admission path, and the truth is interpreted by the virtual, then, when the monk built the Yongzuo Temple, it should also leave a secret interpretation path for the treasure, and the reality is expressed by the virtual. ”

Li Ruhui said: "If you say something that people understand, how can you 'expand it', and 'express reality with fiction'?" ”

Zong Zhenlei smiled and said: "I said according to your words, why can't you understand!" That is to say, if he uses a certain meaning to imply, then this meaning can be hidden in the brick carving graphics as you said, or it can be extended to see the layout of the building, orientation, etc., and look at it comprehensively, so as to find out what we want. ”

Li Ruhui nodded and said, "I understand now." I think we should act immediately, rather than spending time trying to find the information, it is better to find the answer in another place. ”

Zong Zhenlei listened and agreed; The two immediately decided to go to Yongzuo Temple again.

When I entered Yongzuo Temple, I saw that the peony flowers in the courtyard were already a little ruined.

Li Ruhui pulled Zong Zhenlei and walked along the blue brick road by the flower pond to watch; Li Ruhui said: "Although the introduction of the flower pond says that there are peonies planted in the Ming Dynasty, I don't seem to have seen the exact record that these peonies were planted in the Ming Dynasty, so I can only speculate that the planting time will not be earlier than the time when Yongzuo Temple was built." ”

Zong Zhenlei recalled: "I remember reading Mr. Fu Shan's poetry collection "Frost Red Niche Collection" before, and there was a poem by him visiting the monk Xuefeng of Yongzuo Temple, "Staying in the Twin Towers Courtyard is a Thing, and then Printing with Brother Xue", writing that he came here 'when he moved and experienced the beginning of summer. Peony red dry in, forbearance □green to Xu', in which the flower is the peony, the lack of the word is like 'winter', and the previous sentence together is to say that the peony stem is red, honeysuckle grass green. Fu Shan was a person in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, so when he came, it would not be too long from the completion time of Yongzuo Temple, indicating that there were peony flowers planted in the temple at that time. ”

Li Ruhui asked: "Judging from the brick carvings on the building, I believe that the plants planted in the temple should have peonies and honeysuckle grass, but do you say that Mr. Fu Shan's poem is talking about peonies?" Apparently she was reluctant to let go of any suspicions.

Zong Zhenlei explained: "Peony was originally a peony plant of the ranunculaceae family, the ancients often said that peony was a peony, when Li Shizhen wrote the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the Ming Dynasty, he quoted Cui Bao's "Ancient and Modern Notes" of the Jin Dynasty, pointing out that there are two kinds of peony, which are divided into grass peony and wood peony, and wood peony is peony; Have you noticed that Mr. Fu Shan's poem says that the flower stem is a 'red stem', in fact, this is the difference between these two kinds of flowers; peony is a herbaceous plant, new shoots emerge every year, no matter how many years of growth, the branches are blue-green, while peony branches are woody, after growing for many years, the color of the trunk is different from that of peony; judging from the flower stem, the flower that Mr. Fu Shan said at that time is peony. ”

Li Ruhui nodded slowly while listening: "In this way, it seems that it should be correct to say that Zixia Immortal was planted in the Ming Dynasty. She stopped, and pointed to the peony brick carving on the wall and said to Zong Zhenlei: "There is another question, since the construction of Yongzuo Temple is related to the Empress Dowager Li, will the brick carving of the peony be to match the peony planted in the yard, so that when the real flowers in the yard are gone, it will still be undefeated, creating an atmosphere of peony flowers always there, praising and pleasing the Empress Dowager Li." ”

Zong Zhenlei shook his head and said, "Your words remind me of the question I've been thinking about; When we came to Yongzuo Temple for the second time, it was the time when a child was kicked and injured, and you noticed the brick carving of peony flowers, I remember you mentioned that peony flowers and lotus flowers together symbolize what artistic conception; So when it comes to peony brick carving, I think it should be more clear that the meaning of the two brick carvings put together. Generally speaking, the peony represents wealth, the lotus flower represents the pure land, and the meaning of the two flowers is not consistent; I think that since Zen Master Miaofeng uses the brick carving of two flowers in one place and echoes each other, it is not just to show the perennial prosperity of peony flowers, maybe there is another mystery, I don't know if it will be to hint at something. ”

Li Ruhui probably heard Zong Zhenlei's words of "another mystery", and suddenly became a little irritable, and said: "I feel upset when I hear you say mystery!" Professor Li asked to "choose a new breakthrough" and "ensure time", but it must take a long time to solve those mysteries, and there is no text confirmation, which makes people always have a feeling that they can't be implemented! ”

"What do you think?" Zong Zhenlei understood that this was due to the pressure she said so, and he wanted to lead her to talk more to help her relieve pressure.

"I think that in order to solve the problem of 'this is that', it is best to find out the relics hidden here, so as to confirm whether the one hidden here is the same as the one taken by Empress Dowager Li from Yunju Temple, because that relic is different from other bone relics and has a special color." Li Ruhui finished speaking in one breath and looked at Zong Zhenlei.

"That's a good idea, go on."

"I think, why don't we change our thinking and go to find the place where the Tibetan Buddha relics are? In this way, the question of the origin of the relics may be solved naturally. ”

Zong Zhenlei pondered for a moment and said: "What you said also makes sense, I think that in this way, you can push forward the two ideas of finding the place of Tibetan Buddha relics and finding the source of Buddha relics." ”

But if so, where do you start...... By the way, do you think there is a secret hidden in these brick carvings? Li Ruhui looked less annoyed, and she turned her head to look at the brick carving.

"It depends on how to interpret it, in fact, it still needs to be unraveled, such as what you see in front of you."

Li Ruhui was speechless.

She looked at the brick carvings on the buildings in the courtyard and said with a sad face: "I think there may be secrets hidden in the brick carvings, but looking at these brick carvings, I feel that my head is big, and I don't know where to start." ”
