Chapter 14: Butterfly Fans Dream Yin and Yang (4)

After walking for a cup of tea, the butterfly flew into a garden by the side of the road and disappeared. The entrance to the garden is a moon gate with four large vermilion characters on the lintel: National Color and Heavenly Fragrance. Xu Pu saw a middle-aged woman passing by on the side of the road, so he asked her, "May I ask this aunt, what kind of garden is this?"

The woman said: "Here, this is the largest peony garden in our Luoyang. It's just that it's the middle of winter, the flowers are withering, the peony garden is barren, and no one has gone. ”

Xu Pu thanked him, looked at the garden on the side of the road, and walked in.

There are rockeries, ponds, verandahs, pavilions, and flower beds next to each other. But by this time, the water in the rockery had dried up, the water in the pond had condensed, the flowers and plants in the flower beds were dilapidated and withered, and the whole garden was empty and desolate.

At this time, the colorful butterfly had long since disappeared, and Xu Pu walked leisurely with his hands behind his back, all the way to the depths of the garden.

After walking forward for a while, suddenly a burst of flower fragrance wafted in, Xu Pu was stunned, and secretly thought: At this moment, how can there be the fragrance of flowers? While thinking, he looked into the distance, and saw a purple and red in the distance, which was particularly conspicuous in a barren garden.

Xu Pu was amazed, ran forward quickly, came to a close place, and found a flower garden full of peonies of various colors, red, white, pink, yellow, purple, blue, green, black, the flowers are like fists, competing for beauty, dizzying.

Xu Pu thought that he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, and everything was vivid.

Luoyang peony is the best in the world, Xu Pu has heard of it, but this time Luoyang is in the harsh winter when everything is withering, and he can't help but regret that he can't enjoy the peony that is the best in the world. But he didn't expect that he would encounter this strange scene by chance today, and Xu Pu was excited in his heart.

There is a pavilion in the flower garden, Xu Pu walked up to the pavilion, sat against the pillar, admired the peony of the national color and fragrance, and felt very comfortable in his heart.

After sitting for a while, he felt a wave of tiredness coming, Xu Pu closed his eyes to nourish his spirit, but unconsciously, he fell asleep.

In the haze, Xu Pu found himself flying, and when he looked closely, he saw that he had wings on his back, and he turned into a colorful butterfly, and in front of him was a flowery peony garden. Xu Pu realized that he was dreaming. So I didn't panic and be scared, but I found it novel and interesting.

He fluttered his wings and flew among the flowers, circling and dancing, free, fluttering like a fairy, and excited. After flying for a while, Xu Pu thought again: It's a bit boring to just fly here, it's better to fly outside and see what those people are doing. After making up his mind, he fluttered his wings and flew out of the peony garden.

When I came outside, I saw pedestrians coming and going on the streets of Luoyang, and Xu Pu flew over the heads of pedestrians, but these people didn't notice it. He flew back to the east, wanting to fly back to see the inn where he was staying. flew halfway, but accidentally found Chen Zigui, standing on the side of the road and talking to two strangers. Xu Pu flew around Chen Zigui twice, but Chen Zigui did not react.

Xu Pu continued to fly forward, and when he passed through a courtyard, he found Master Heguang and her two disciples. The two disciples, a man and a woman, were practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, and he and Master Guangtai were sitting on chairs under the eaves of the porch, drinking tea and watching.

Xu Pu watched the pair of young men practicing swords in mid-air, the sword light flickered, their clothes fluttered, they were agile, and they were like immortals, and they couldn't help but feel ashamed: Their swordsmanship is much higher than mine. Thinking about this, I couldn't help but want to leave this place as soon as possible, so I waved my wings with all my might, flying higher and higher, faster and faster. In the end, the entire Luoyang City was in full view, and the pedestrians on the streets were no longer recognizable.

Xu Pu suddenly thought: If you fly like this, it will never be long from Luoyang to Beiping, and I won't fly back to Beiping to see my mother. With that in mind, he turned and flew north.

As he was flying forward, a garden suddenly appeared in front of him, and two words were written on the garden gate: Lacquer Garden.

Xu Pu was stunned and said secretly: Qiyuan is the place where Mr. Zhuangzi used to be an official, and this place name is no longer used now. Could it be that I have already flown to the Warring States Period? If this is the case, I wonder if Mr. Zhuangzi will be in the lacquer garden again? While thinking, he flew into the garden.

Suddenly, I heard someone in the garden reciting: "The world is no bigger than the end of Qiuhao, and Mount Tai is small; Heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me. It is already one, and it has to be said, and it has to be one, and it has to be speechless, one and the word are two, and two and one are three. Since then, the clever calendar cannot be obtained, and it is not suitable, so that there is no suitability, so that there is three, and the situation is suitable!

This is a passage from the "Theory of Things" in the "Zhuangzi". Xu Pu is not very old, but he reads a lot, and among the books he reads, his favorite is "Zhuangzi". Therefore, the passages in the book are very clear, and you will know the source of the passage as soon as you hear it. At this time, when I heard someone reciting "Zhuangzi", I couldn't help but think: Who is the only one who is reading in the lacquer garden? Could it be Zhuangzi himself?

While thinking, Xu Pu waved his wings and flew in the direction of the sound, and came to the front in a moment, and saw that there were two thatched huts in the open space in the garden, in front of the thatched hut there was a pavilion ancient pine, and under the ancient pine there was a low table, and a middle-aged scribe sat on the ground next to the low table, while reciting, while writing, and the content written was the paragraph he had just recited.

Xu Pu retracted his wings, landed on a pine branch of the pine tree, and watched the scribe write condescendingly. I saw him reading and writing at the same time, and when he filled a piece of paper, he threw it away, so that the ground around him was scattered with papers full of words.

Xu Pu fell on the branch and carefully identified the papers, and saw that most of them were passages from "Getaway", and a small part was "The Theory of Things". Apparently this scribe began with the "Getaway" and continued in order.

Xu Pu looked at the words scattered on the paper, and gradually had a trance-like feeling, those words are still words, but the words on each piece of paper are combined to form an image, and the horizontal and vertical of those words are the handwriting that composes this image. After seeing it, Xu Pu could no longer see the words, and in his eyes, there were all images.

These images are portraits, each with one or more lines in it. Seeing these lines, Xu Pu understood that these portraits were drawing the trajectory of the human body's veins.

Although Xu Pu had never studied medicine, he had read two medical books, which were mentioned in the books, and those pharmacies and medical centers often had images depicting the veins of the human body, so he recognized them. But because he hadn't learned it, he didn't know the names and directions of those veins.
