When Zong Zhenlei heard Li Ruhui say this, he walked behind her without saying a word, made an unexpected action to pump up the bicycle, and made a rhythmic "Ng" sound in his mouth.

As soon as Li Ruhui turned around, she was startled, and jumped out of a big step: "What are you doing!" ”

Zong Zhenlei smiled and said, "I'm afraid that you will be discouraged, help you get some gas!" ”

Li Ruhui smiled and said, "You are scary! She walked back to him and made a fake kick to him, "People are all calling 'come on' now, you are good, let others think that you are leaking oil in the back!" ”

Zong Zhenlei saw that her mood was not so low, and said with a smile: "Okay, then change it to 'come on', let me tell you what I think; since what you are looking for is a secret, and this secret is in the public eye, then it must be set up a mystery, otherwise everyone knows it, and it won't become a secret." However, if you want to crack the mystery, you must come step by step, from the place where people can see, to find clues that people can't see, which determines that the cracking process cannot be solved in one step; In addition, when solving the mystery, we should not guess by imagination, but should use the real things we see and the information we have to understand the way they did things in the past, and then, as Mr. Hong said, to 'settle down and meditate'; therefore, cracking the mystery is not to run the train with a mouth, let alone to 'play' arbitrarily and guess out of thin air. ”

Li Ruhui followed his words and asked: "But, how can people feel that speculation is reliable?" ”

Zong Zhenlei said as if giving a lecture: "Then you need to be familiar with every historical event before speculating; With the knowledge of historical background, coupled with the physical objects that we see, we can simultaneously extend the direction of the development of things, and we can naturally judge whether the speculation is reliable or not. ”

Li Ruhui asked again: "How can we add historical events to the physical objects in front of us?" ”

Zong Zhenlei seemed to point to it: "First of all, we must conscientiously complete the homework and sublimate our cognition." ”

Li Ruhui completed her homework as Zong Zhenlei said, and immediately thought of the last time he asked her to watch Tang Xianzu's "Peony Pavilion", and said: "Last night, I finished reading Tang Xianzu's "Peony Pavilion". ”

Zong Zhenlei teased her: "This classmate is doing well. Tell me, how do you feel after reading it? ”

"I think Tang Xianzu is known as the 'Chinese Shakespeare', it is really not in vain, his description of people's persistent pursuit of love that bursts out after the suppression of love desires, euphemistic twists and turns, makes people feel very wonderful, in his time to write such a work, can not only make people die for love, but also resurrect for love, it is really super bold and super imaginative!" After Li Ruhui finished speaking, she glanced at Zong Zhenlei and said, "It's not ......."

Zong Zhenlei saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "But what? ”

Li Ruhui sighed and said, "Alas, this is another story of the bumpy fate of a sixteen-year-old infatuated woman and her lover...... Don't say it, it's too sensational. ”

Zong Zhenlei listened, paused, he seemed to be carefully pondering the two words Li Ruhui just said, "again", suddenly, he laughed and said: "Ha, don't be 'sixteen years old again', it makes people listen as if you had a bumpy fate at the age of sixteen." ”

Li Ruhui didn't look at him, looked at the sky outside the twin towers and said, "Isn't that right?" So far, the family can only watch over one person......"

Zong Zhenlei teased her: "Do you still want the sky to be high and let the birds fly, and the earth is wide and trusting?" When the child is older, there are so many ideas! ”

Li Ruhui punched him with a smile and said, "You have a lot of ideas......

Zong Zhenlei dodged with a smile, and then changed his words and said: "I heard you talk about 'watching' just now, which led to the question I have been thinking about, and I just took it out and let's talk about it." ”

Li Ruhui looked at him and waited for him to say the rest of the story.

Zong Zhenlei put away his smile and said, "Do you know why I want you to watch "The Peony Pavilion"? One question I've been thinking about is in it; I think that the peony garden in front of us is related to Tang Xianzu's "Peony Pavilion". He glanced at Li Ruhui, saw that she didn't mean to ask, just waited carefully for his next step, and said, "However, this connection is not the euphemistic and tortuous girlish relationship you care about, but another question." In this play, Du Liniang and her lover Liu Mengmei were unmarried in the pavilion of the Du family's peony garden when she was sixteen years old, and later she died because of love, and then survived because of love. ”

Li Ruhui looked at Zong Zhenlei with confused eyes: "Empress Dowager Li still has the life of Du Liniang in "The Peony Pavilion"? ”

Zong Zhenlei nodded and said, "I'm talking about something similar!" You see, Empress Dowager Li was also at the age of sixteen, after being fortunate by Mu Zongzhu Zaikun, who later became the Emperor of Longqing of the Ming Dynasty, the two became dependents, and they were not officially married when she was lucky; Later, she did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to find a place for her husband who died young, and in this way, she let us know her deep feelings for her husband; In fact, looking at her life trajectory of being widowed before the age of 30 and worrying about it all day long in the environment of party strife and palace fighting in the imperial court, it is not difficult to understand the meaning of her inscription 'Qingya' and her nostalgia for her deceased husband; if you use these key words: 'sixteen years old', 'unmarried love', 'deep love', 'father's peony garden', etc., to outline the trajectory of her feelings, can you find a figure similar to the sixteen-year-old girl in Tang Xianzu's play? Judging from the girl's 'frightening dream' to 'dreaming', didn't Empress Dowager Li want to use the peony garden to spiritually desire to find the person she loved, so that he could also perform a 'dead and alive' 'soul' love? ”

Li Ruhui sighed after hearing this: "You can play too well!" You have come up with so many plots, if you don't speculate, it will be a better drama than "The Peony Pavilion"! ”

Zong Zhenlei said: "It's not over yet! This play also has a name, called "The Peony Pavilion Returns the Soul"; The beauty of Tang Xianzu's play is that it is not the kind of ghost drama that is rejuvenated, but the real life survives and eventually becomes a family; Let's make an assumption, if Zen Master Miaofeng created the plot of "The Peony Pavilion" in the peony garden of Yongzuo Temple, and reversed the living and the dead of men and women in the play, would it help Empress Dowager Li to realize her dream of promoting her husband's survival with love, so as to appease Empress Dowager Li's suffering of missing her husband and achieve the purpose of repaying her kindness? ”

Li Ruhui said: "Your hypothesis is a bit outrageous, where can there be evidence that such an assumption exists for a monk?" ”

Zong Zhenlei said: "Of course there is, think about it, is the speculation I said similar to the meaning of the brick carving of the mountain flower on the side of the pavilion we saw?" The figure that occupies the 'C' position is carved on the side of the mountain, if the two strands are wound is the male and female feelings that represent the separation of yin and yang, is there a shadow of the two protagonists in "The Peony Pavilion" intersecting for love and death, and resurrecting from love? ”

Li Ruhui listened, silently fell into thought, and after a long time, she said with some excitement: "Hearing you talk about the intersection of life and death for love, it almost broke my tears!" I remembered a passage I had read before, 'If you embrace me, love me to the bones, and protect me, I am willing to blindfold myself and not tell whether you are a human or ......a ghost.'"

Zong Zhenlei continued her words and said, "'...... I am a guest with the spring breeze, you bring the autumn water to the galaxy, Sansheng is fortunate to meet you, even if it is sad. I know that this passage was written by Professor Lin Huiyin, who participated in the design of our national emblem, and she and her husband Liang Sicheng also came to this Yongzuo Temple to investigate! Since ancient times, true love transcends life and death, and each such story is unforgettable! ”

Seeing that Li Ruhui didn't say anything, Zong Zhenlei said: "Do you remember, on the train back from the capital, I speculated that Zibai and Miaofeng met and there is another evidence?" In fact, the proof is this peony garden. After Zibai saw Miaofeng in the Ten Thousand Buddhas, Zibai went to the south to travel, during which his friend Tang Xianzu accompanied him many times; In 1598, Zibai left the ancestral place of Tang Xianzu in Linchuan, Jiangxi, and returned to the capital through Wutai Mountain; When the two friends met this time, Tang Xianzu's "Peony Pavilion" had just been written, and according to the speed of transmission at that time, the drama should not have spread so quickly from the south to the north, if no one told Zen Master Miaofeng, how could he use the plot in that play to create all this? So the only one who can tell him is his friend Zibai. ”

Li Ruhui covered her mouth and was happy: "Your imagination is so powerful!" ”

Zong Zhenlei pretended to be modest and quipped: "Where and where, it's just a proper extension......"

Li Ruhui asked: "So, do you mean that Zibai's poem proves that he went from the north to the south after seeing Miaofeng, and that play proves that he came back from the south to the north and saw Miaofeng again?" ”

Zong Zhenlei said: "Yes, I think that no matter which time we meet each other this time, Zibai must inform Miaofeng of the major Buddhist events involving the gains and losses of the Buddha's relics that have been in my heart for a long time, as well as the secrets related to life and death; This secret is not only the loss of a Buddha relic, but also the replacement of the lost Buddha relic with a pearl. ”

Li Ruhui's eyes lit up and said, "Ah! It's finally back! It's tiring to listen to your lectures, but there's always something new to attract you. Li Ruhui's thinking seems to return to Zong Zhenlei's statement to the Empress Dowager Li and the Peony Garden: "The last time I took pictures in the Peony Garden, I noticed the nine-petal lotus brick carving on the Sumeru seat on the wall pillar of the building next to me, and I also thought that the planting of peonies would be related to the Nine Lotus Guanyin Empress Dowager Li?" Listening to you say this, it feels really related; You are so powerful, knowing that you are playing, you can actually play convincingly! ”

Zong Zhenlei said: "Where is the ......?"

Li Ruhui interrupted him and said from him: "I know, it's just a proper extension." ”

Without waiting for him to speak, she immediately shouted: "Hey, I haven't asked about something yet, why didn't you continue to talk to me yesterday and hung up the phone in a hurry?" Catching a train? ”

Zong Zhenlei looked at the time with a smile and found that it was almost noon, and immediately understood that she wanted to sneak out.
