Li Ruhui's words about the brick carvings in the courtyard reminded Zong Zhenlei and reminded Zong Zhenlei of last night when he spent most of the night working on the photos of the brick carvings in the temple; While following Li Ruhui out of the tower courtyard, he said: "I have a new understanding of the peony flowers and lotus brick carvings in the courtyard. ”

Zong Zhenlei saw Li Ruhui looking at him and asked her: "You once told me that you don't know what artistic conception the two flowers of peony and lotus symbolize when they are mixed and matched; I said maybe there was another mystery, I wonder if it could be a hint of something, remember? ”

Li Ruhui nodded, without squeaking, as if waiting for the following.

Zong Zhenlei turned his eyes into the distance: "I found the Southern Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli's "Sending the Title of Cheng Yuancheng Troubled Mountain Residence Sanyong Xiuye Hall" last night, there is a poem: 'Plum and bamboo come to the bird with the moon planting, and the peony and the flower bloom according to the river. Xin'an sees the bottom like this, and the old rain never comes. One of the things that interests me the most is the sentence 'Peony and lotus flowers bloom according to the river', which is a lotus flower, which says that the peony flower and the lotus flower bloom in the same place. ”

Li Ruhui stopped: "Yang Wanli? The song 'Little Lotus has only shown its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on its head' was written by him. ”

Zong Zhenlei also stopped and found that he had arrived in front of the Daxiong Palace; He raised his eyes to look at the peony and lotus flowers and other flower and plant brick carvings under the eaves, wall pillars and other places, and took a deep breath; Although he had been here many times, every time he stood in front of these brick sculptures and came face to face with them, he felt like his heartstrings were being plucked.

Li Ruhui dragged Zong Zhenlei and complained: "I'm still waiting for you, what about the peony flowers and lotus flowers blooming together?" ”

Zong Zhenlei was reminded by her, turned around and smiled at her and said, "I'm sorry, I'm distracted." Last night, I had an eyebrow to solve the problem of the coexistence of peony flowers and lotus brick carvings in Yongzuo Temple; I noticed that the peony flowers and lotus flowers in Yang Wanli's poems are not simply open, but 'the peony and the lotus flowers bloom according to the river', that is, there are conditions for the two flowers to open in the same place, and they need to 'open according to the river', so I found a new idea. ”

Li Ruhui whispered and read along: "The peony is open according to the river." ”

Zong Zhenlei looked at the brick carvings on the wall: "Let me tell me my understanding: the high monk mixes peony flowers and lotus flowers together, which must be an expression; If, according to Yang Wanli's poem, the two kinds of flowers should have 'bloomed according to the river', but there is no river in the city, only a Fen River, then the question is, the two flowers match together, and carved into a peony flower and lotus flower that have bloomed, who do they open to when there is no river to shine? Replace the river with the Fen River? No, the river is the river, not the river, and to whom they open must have an object, and this object must be related to the river; In this way, it reminds me of the treasures of the river, and there is no river that can symbolize the ...... of the river by the treasures of the river."

Li Ruhui interrupted Zong Zhenlei's words and said: "I know this, the treasures in the river are pearls; For example, in the past, the North Pearl was exclusively enjoyed by the royal family, and it was produced in the Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang, Yalu and other rivers in northern China. ”

"Exactly." Zong Zhenlei first praised her, and then asked a guided question: "But, where did the pearls come from in Yongzuo Temple?" Without pearls, what would these peony and lotus flowers 'shine' on? ”

Li Ruhui frowned and thought for a moment, looked at him, and shook her head.

Zong Zhenlei said with a light in his eyes: "I think there is only one thing, and that is the Buddha relics replaced by pearls." ”

Li Ruhui suddenly understood what he meant, and shouted in surprise: "Isn't this what Empress Dowager Li did!" How did you come up with the idea? ”

Zong Zhenlei said excitedly: "It's not over yet!" The word 'illumination' has both the meaning of 'direction' and 'illumination', but if there is no light, how can it shine? Therefore, it is most appropriate to use peony and lotus flowers to imply that the two flowers are reflected with a luminous body; Do you still remember the luminous body we talked about when we looked at the mountain flower brick carving? Here, the luminous body should be the Buddha relic. ”

Li Ruhui was just about to follow the excitement, but paused again; She shook her head, stared at him and said, "However, there was originally a pattern of peony flowers on the tower of Wenfeng Pagoda, which was not original to Zen Master Miaofeng." The question is, could the peony brick carving in the temple be his original meaning? ”

"If it is a continuation of the peony flower meaning of Wenfeng Tower, on behalf of 'learning and excellence' in order to seek glory, this pursuit in the pure land of Buddhism, it is unreasonable, we have long seen the discomfort of peony flowers and lotus flowers together." After Zong Zhenlei explained, he said: "So ......."

Li Ruhui turned her eyes away and smiled embarrassedly: "Count me stupid!" "I made a gesture to fan off.

Zong Zhenlei did not pause: "So the senior monk is likely to put Yang Wanli's verses." Peony Hanlian Zhaojiang Kai' is used here, borrowing the peony flower bowl pattern of Wenfeng Pagoda Tasha, and casting the tower of Xuanwen Stupa into a lotus seat pattern, and then the peony flower and lotus pattern are all over Yongzuo Temple; The monk is so clever that I can't help but admire! Zong Zhenlei finished his opinion in one breath.

Li Ruhui became happy after hearing this, and said, "Ah! This is really a major discovery, and it can also explain the mystery of the whereabouts of the lost Buddha relics in the Yunju Temple in Beijing! We should report to the professor immediately, this is definitely a new breakthrough that the professor is looking forward to......"

She suddenly stopped again and said, "Wait, I remember, the vertical pillar of Wenfeng Pagoda is also a lotus, and there is a circle of peony flower and leaf brick carvings under the eaves, the tower was not built by Miaofeng Zen Master, how can this be explained?" ”

Zong Zhenlei paid attention to the decoration under the eaves of Wenfeng Pagoda and explained: "The lotus flower is also one of the symbols of Taoism, in Taoism, it is used as a goal of visualization, a kind of sustenance. ”

Li Ruhui waved her hand hurriedly: "I don't mean that the Taoist tower can't have lotus flowers, but how to explain the design of these two flowers under the eaves of Wenfeng Pagoda that is earlier than the monks?" ”

Zong Zhenlei scolded her with a smile: "You go to see clearly, where is the mix and match of two kinds of flowers under the eaves of Wenfeng Tower?" It's a flower! The leaves of peony flowers can't be counted as flowers, right? So only the lotus ......"

Zong Zhenlei suddenly grabbed Li Ruhui's arm and stopped speaking; Li Ruhui turned her head and looked at Zong Zhenlei in surprise.

Zong Zhenlei looked nervously at this time looking at the left front, and suddenly, he quickly turned his back and took a selfie of himself with his mobile phone.

Li Ruhui was frightened by his strange behavior, and just as she opened her mouth to ask, she was "booed" by Zong Zhenlei, and Zong Zhenlei whispered: "Don't talk, let's go out of the yard." "Take Li Ruhui and go out.

Out of the gate of the third courtyard, Zong Zhenlei looked back at the back with his mobile phone, and then took Li Ruhui to the moon gate of the peony garden on the east side of the second courtyard to find a stone table and sit down, facing the gate of the third courtyard.

Li Ruhui was confused by Zong Zhenlei's series of actions, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter with you?" So nervous? ”

Zong Zhenlei looked at the gate of the Sanjin courtyard without looking back, and whispered: "I don't want him to see my license plate, so as not to be followed." ”

Li Ruhui was still confused by these brainless words, and asked, "Who?" ”

Zong Zhenlei didn't answer her, and kept staring at the door of the Sanjin courtyard, Li Ruhui asked again: "Who is it?" ”

Zong Zhenlei lowered his head and said, "Don't look back, he's out." ”

I saw that the man went out of the third entrance gate and came to the peony pond by the door of the second entrance, as if admiring the peony; Zong Zhenlei knew that this was because the person had discovered the two of them and was playing the trick of "if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move".

Zong Zhenlei stood up suddenly, picked up Li Ruhui and quickly walked towards the east courtyard of the office next to him.

The east courtyard of the office is the gate of the temple to the west. Zong Zhenlei estimated that the person would definitely follow him, and if he walked out of the hospital at this time, the person would definitely follow, and he would definitely follow to the car, so he could not leave the hospital immediately.

He thought about it for a moment and decided to go to the small courtyard to the west of the courtyard gate. There is a wall next to the public toilet in that small courtyard, and to the south of the wall is the west gate of the second courtyard.

Zong Zhenlei pulled Li Ruhui halfway to the wall, and suddenly turned into the park office on the side.

He speculated that the man would not see the two of them when he chased them here, and would not estimate that they had entered the office, but would guess whether they had entered the public toilet or the second courtyard, so he would definitely choose a place where he could not only see the people entering and exiting the public toilet, but also observe the people walking in the second courtyard, and this best position should be at the west gate of the second courtyard after the wall; And the office they entered had a hall door, and they could go out from another door to the first courtyard, and slip out of the temple gate without the person being able to see it.

Zong Zhenlei entered the office, pretending to ask the staff inside, while paying attention to the window; Sure enough, as he expected, after a while, the man hurried to the small courtyard to the west, looked around, stared at the public toilet again, and disappeared behind the photo wall next to the public toilet.

Zong Zhenlei pulled Li Ruhui up, thanked the staff in his mouth, walked out of the office through the hall door, entered the courtyard, and walked quickly to the courtyard gate.

Before leaving the gate, Zong Zhenlei glanced at it again, and made sure that no one was following, so he pulled Li Ruhui out of the door and ran down the stone steps.

The two returned to the car, Zong Zhenlei saw that no one was following, took out his mobile phone, pulled up the selfie just now, enlarged the background and handed it to Li Ruhui: "I learned the trick of taking a selfie from you...... Did you see the man behind the tree? It's weird, how did you get here with me? ”

The man behind the tree in the photo, holding a red hat in his hand, with long stubble on his head, and his eyes like cold blades, were staring at their backs.

Li Ruhui took the phone, identified the person in the photo, and was also surprised: "I am so familiar with this person's face, it seems that I have seen it, I want to think about it...... By the way, it's that southern accent dormitory manager! It's just that the hair has become shorter, and I met the morning of picking up Singaporean guests! ”

Zong Zhenlei said calmly: "This person is from that small fishing village temple in Fujian, called Kongyuan!" ”
