Liu Shizeng's name when he was young was Liu Menglong, and together with Lu Yemang, he studied under Guo Ziqi, a master of Chinese painting at that time.

Guo Ziqi has a housekeeper named the second brother. The second brother is honest and often drinks with them. His favorite appetizer is stir-fried pork with ginger.

Every time, the three of them drank wine with fried meat with ginger shreds, talked and laughed, and got along very well. The second brother's most common sentence is: "What is the highest level of drinking?" It's friendship!"

On this day, Guo Ziqi received a "Orchid Bamboo Picture" jointly painted by Hou Fangyu and Qin Huai Bayan and Li Xiangjun in the late Ming Dynasty from a declining child.

Guo Zisu is like a treasure. Soon, "Orchid Bamboo Picture" disappeared! Guo Ziqi suspected that Liu Menglong and Lu Yemang stole it, but Liu Lu and the others thought that the second brother stole it.

Later, the footbasin man learned that Guo Ziqi had an ancient painting in his hand, so he tried every possible way to get his hands on it.

The foot basin man asked Liu Menglong and Lu Yemang to hand over the painting, blinded Liu Menglong's left eye, and disabled Lu Yemang's right leg.

Liu Menglong and Lu Yemang couldn't stand the torture, so they had to confess and let the second brother take the painting.

The footbasin let them go, and the second brother was put in prison. In Laba that year, the second brother died under the guns of the foot basin man.

Decades later, Liu Menglong and Lu Yemang became famous masters of calligraphy and painting, and accidentally saw this "Orchid Bamboo Picture" from a young man surnamed Yan.

The surname Yan said that it was handed down by his dead father, Yan Zicheng. Yan Zicheng is a close friend of his master, how did this painting get to him?

In order to visit this secret, the two came to Yan's house and unexpectedly discovered that the young man's mother was actually the girl of Guo Ziqi's family.

Back then, in order to get this painting, Yan Zicheng deliberately asked Huan'er to come to Guo Ziqi and stole the painting.

Huan'er said that she has always felt sorry for a few of them over the years, so she told this dusty past for many years.

"Son, that's why we're so blind.

Do you know why there are three wine cups on the wine table? That's for the second brother. When Liu Shi said this, tears rolled out of the corners of his eyes.

No wonder they only need a plate of fried meat with shredded ginger and a pot of 62 degrees of Lao Baigan, it turns out that this is their favorite appetizer when they drank with the second brother back then!

They are honoring their second brother in this unique way. Liu Shizeng continued: "Child, do you know who the second brother is? He's your grandfather!" Xiao Liu was stunned.

Liu Shi once said: "So, every time on Laba, we meet together to drink and pay tribute to your grandfather." Later, due to some historical reasons, we were separated from each other and lost contact with each other.

But I firmly believe that as long as Lu Yemang is still alive, he will always come to pay tribute to your grandfather with me. ”

Liu Shi once said that he inquired that the descendants of the second brother had opened a tavern in the West Bridge of Goubangzi. So, every time he came to Laba, he would wait for Lu Yemang here.

It took ten years for Lu Yemang to find here. Lu Yemang told him that in order to find the whereabouts of him and his second brother's descendants, he also went through great pains, and it was not until half a year ago that he learned that Liu Shizeng, who was as famous as him, was Liu Menglong, his close friend who experienced life and death with him.

At this time, someone outside was talking, and Lu Yemang walked in with a smile and said, "Old man, how do you know that you can wait for me in the tavern?"

Liu Shi once said: "With our friendship and your temperament, I know that you will definitely come." Lu Yemang smiled and said, "Old man, where is the soul of the second brother, can I not go?"

No wonder there were three wine cups on the wine table, it turned out that the extra ones were only placed for Xiao Liu's grandfather. The two old men left poems and paintings to repay their grandfather's great kindness!

A few days later, Xiao Liu went to visit Liu Shizeng, who wore a black veil on his arm, and he told Xiao Liu that that very night, the old man had passed away with a smile on his face.

Tears flowed down Xiao Liu's face. Liu Shi once relied on faith to support the last Laba in his life! Xiao Liu appeared in front of his eyes the "Drunken Immortal Picture", in that painting, the grandfather and the three of them were full of wine......

There is a famous island in the Zhoushan archipelago, which is Putuo Mountain, which is known as the "Sea and Sky Buddha Country", and is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China.

In ancient times, Fusang took the Central Plains as a teacher, and everything had to be shipped back from China.

Five generations later, in the second year of Emperor Zhenming of the late Liang Dynasty (916 AD), the Fusang monk Hui Ye carried a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva from Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province to return to China.

After a lot of hardships, he passed through the front line of the north-south dispute at that time, and came to today's Ningbo to board the ship and go back. Unexpectedly, when driving along the coast to here, I suddenly encountered wind and waves, and hundreds of iron lotus flowers suddenly appeared on the sea to block the way.

This Fuso monk was very pious, and when he saw that the ship carrying the statue of Guanyin was blocked, he thought that Guanyin was unwilling to leave the Central Plains and cross the sea to Fuso.

So he knelt down on the bow of the boat and silently prayed to Avalokiteshvara for instructions to build a temple to worship in the place where the boat had drifted.

After a while, the iron lotus flower on the sea disappeared, and the boat drifted to the shore of Putuo Mountain, where he built a temple in the purple bamboo forest to enshrine this statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva brought from Wutai Mountain, named "Unwilling to go to Guanyin Temple". Since then, the incense has flourished and has become a Buddhist holy place. Due to the strong wind and waves in the Zhoushan Islands, not only pious pilgrims come from all over the world to worship, but also fishermen and sailors who go to sea also come here to ask for the blessing of Guanyin Bodhisattva, who is in distress and rescues, and imaginarily Guanyin Bodhisattva has become the protector of the sea here.

After Putuo Mountain became famous, many of the island's attractions were also stained with light. For example, the Sanskrit Cave on the shore, every time the tide rises, there will be a strange sound, which is considered to be Guanyin Bodhisattva's preaching, or a thousand monks chanting the scriptures, becoming a holy place.

There is also a small waterhole on the island, which is believed to be the holy water of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, which can cure eye diseases. It is said that during the reign of Wuzong Zhengde, the Empress Dowager also sent someone to fetch water, which really made her eyes recover, so she named it Guangming Pond.

The myth of Mount Putuo also reveals some scientific facts: the Zhoushan archipelago is an area where typhoons are frequent, and it is not surprising that there are huge winds and waves between summer and autumn every year. What the Japanese monk encountered must have been a typhoon-like storm at sea.

How can there be any "iron lotus" on the sea? It must be an underwater reef that has been exposed, blocking the way of the ship.

How can Hai Chao chant sutras? Needless to say, it is the loud sound of the tide crashing into the sea cave at high tide.

The so-called sacred spring that can cure eye diseases is just an ordinary spring, but there is no sediment on the island, and the water is very cool.
