002, civet cat prince, rubbing the truth and falsehood
Hearing his father's answer, Liu Yancheng asked even more puzzledly: "Are you saying that this kind of person has an incomplete soul?"
Ishino shook his head again and said: "Such a person looks like what people often say has an incomplete soul, but this is not the case. He is not born with dementia, his IQ is completely normal, nor is he ignorant of things, he just doesn't think too much. Who?
If there was a child like that in the family, the parents would definitely hate the iron but be helpless."
At this point, his tone changed and he changed the topic: "The so-called theory of three souls and seven souls is actually a false reference, and the allusion is not the actual reference. "The Seven Lotus of Yunji" said that there are three souls, one is the fetal light,
Two names are Shuangling and three are ghost spirits. It is said that the seven souls are corpse dog, Fuyao, bird yin, swallowing thief, non-poison, removing filth, and smelly lung. In fact, they are all lingo. It does not mean that there are three souls and souls in human beings.
seven.
On the contrary, what doctors say is more appropriate: Jing, Qi, Shen, Soul, and Soul are combined with the five internal organs, and each has its own master. The liver belongs to wood and controls the soul, and the lungs belong to metal and controls the soul. The number of wood in the east is three, and the number of metal is in the west.
The number is seven, that’s all. To put it another way, the soul master is clear-headed, the soul master’s energy and blood are flowing, and the souls are in harmony, which means that the body and mind are intact..."
Ishiye took the opportunity to explain the theory of souls to his son. Liu Yancheng listened for a while and then interjected: "What if souls are separated?"
Ishino's answer was not profound. He smiled and said: "That's a vegetative person, not a confused person."
Liu Yancheng asked again: "What if the soul is gone?"
Ishino: "Of course it's a dead person! Even if no internal or external injuries can be found, the person is still dead... What are you talking about? Didn't you just ask someone who might have obtained the magic by accident? Do you understand now?
"
Liu Yancheng: "I understand, that kind of person is indeed rare. Dad, have you seen him?"
Ishino replied with a smile: "I can't say that I have never seen it before. There are actually many people like that in the world, but it is really rare to achieve the level where the magic formula in this stone statue can be automatically integrated into the spiritual consciousness. Let alone the right timing.
I ran to Shantang Street, opened the portals on these stone statues by mistake, and obtained the demon cultivation techniques inside..."
At this point, his smile suddenly became serious. He raised his head and forgot about the direction of Huqiu and said in surprise: "Someone touched the earth energy spiritual center on the stone statue, and the magic and spiritual thoughts entered his soul! This actually happened.
Things happen right here and now!"
Liu Yancheng turned around and looked into the distance with a look of shock on his face: "Who is he?"
Ishino sighed and had to smile bitterly: "Isn't he the kind of person you mentioned? There is actually such a person who ran to Shantang Street and messed with the stone statues here, and obtained the demon by accident.
I'm afraid even he himself doesn't know what happened to the magic formula! The magic formula on this stone statue has a sequence, and it needs to be opened in order. I don't know if this person is lucky or unlucky, but he happened to touch the first one.
A stone statue of layers of magic."
Liu Yancheng said with great interest: "Let's go over and see who it is, and what kind of demon cultivation method has been obtained?"
But Ishino shook his head and said: "There is no need, other people's opportunities have nothing to do with you. As for the method of cultivating demons, if you are interested and want to study it, my father can naturally tell you a more profound and complete one. You don't have to ask that person.
He doesn't know what's going on. Moreover, the method of demon cultivation is not the way of ordinary people's cultivation. Even if he gets the inheritance of the method, it is just like a dream. Everyone in this world has strange dreams.
, why are you going to disturb others?"
Liu Yancheng: "Okay, I won't go and take a look... But dad, what is the purpose of taking me to visit Shantang Street? Isn't it just to see these stone statues?"
Ishino pointed at the surrounding world: "The scenery lasts for thousands of years, the ancient alleys, bridges and flowing water. Isn't it worth visiting? I brought you here because I want you to learn to feel the inadvertent mystery of everything, including these stone statues along the way.
...I heard the news that your senior brother Xiaobai has also been practicing near Shantang Street recently."
Liu Yancheng scratched the back of his head: "Senior Brother Bai Shaoliu? He came here to practice, where is the Lingshu Treasure?"
Ishino's expression was a little strange: "As far as I know, it's not a spiritual treasure land. He seems to be in a pyramid scheme. He should have been tricked into it by a friend he met by chance."
Liu Yancheng's expression became very strange, his eyes widened, and he was speechless: "Who can deceive Bai Shaoliu? He is the best person in the world who can see through people's hearts!"
Ishino: "I think he just borrowed a place to practice and just watched life. Even I can't see Bai Shaoliu's pursuit of truth very clearly... He has his practice, you have yours, let's go and continue shopping.
.Seeing the crowds of people and all things happening and having feelings and understandings are your own gains.”
Not far away, the father and son saw another stone fox statue at the end of a roadside bridge. Ishino sighed secretly: "I don't know who left the magic in these stone statues. After hundreds of years of change, they have become close to natural spiritual thoughts, and they are also the work of demon cultivators."
Dharma, it is not a good thing to stay in this densely populated market. I originally wanted to check all the stone statues to find the source, and then erase all these magic spells. Unexpectedly, someone opened it at this time and accidentally obtained the magic spell. In this case, these
Just keep all the Dharma decisions, so that those who are destined can take care of themselves!"
The person who touched the Qi Lingxin, opened the strange portal, and inexplicably obtained the demon cultivation method in the stone fox statue, was Cheng Tianle.
The magic formulas in the stone statues are in order. You need to touch the first door to obtain the first-level magic skills before you can open the other stone statues in sequence. The stone civet statue with the first-level magic skills is far to the west of Tiger Hill, on the mountain
There are usually no tourists at Xishan Temple Bridge outside Tangjie Scenic Area. Why did Cheng Tianle escape?
…
Today, there are a total of seven stone raccoon statues in Shantang Street, all of which were rebuilt in the past two years based on historical legends. They are the Meiren raccoon statue of Shantang Bridge, the Tonggui raccoon statue of Tonggui Bridge, the Wenxing raccoon dog of Xingqiao, and Caiyun
The Caiyun civet on the bridge, the Baigong civet on the Puji Bridge, the sea civet on the Wangshan Bridge, and the water-dividing civet on the Xishan Miao Bridge. Of course, the names of these civet cats are not consistent among the people; as for their origins, legends
It's even more mysterious.
The first legend is related to King Helu of Wu and the First Emperor of Qin. The famous Huqiu in Suzhou is the cemetery of King Helu of Wu. It is said that Helu’s tomb is under the sword pond, and there are more than 3,000 swords including fish intestines buried with him. When Qin Shihuang came to
Here, a white tiger was once seen sitting on the hill. Qin Shihuang swung his sword to kill it, but the white tiger turned into a sword light and disappeared, hence the name Tiger Hill.
It is said that the white tiger was transformed by the sword spirit under the tiger hill. When Bai Juyi was digging the Shantang River, in order to suppress the murderous sword spirit, he carved seven stone fox statues and placed them at various Feng Shui locations on Shantang Street. At that time,
These seven stone civets are called Jinlu Li, Tongxing Li, Wenxing Li, Ban Tang Li, Bai Gong Li, Bianshan Li and Haiyong Li. This is the earliest legend about the stone civet statues on Shantang Street.
The theory that Bai Juyi made the seven raccoons is quite far-fetched, and not many contemporary Suzhou people know about it. The most popular one today is the second legend about the origin of the stone civet statues - Liu Bowen made the seven raccoons.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng, who was a private salt dealer, proclaimed himself emperor in Suzhou and founded the country named Da Zhou, which was later defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang. Legend has it that after Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Zhang Shicheng, he sent Liu Bowen to Suzhou for inspection. Liu Bowen came to the Shantang Street area and discovered that the Shantang River was shaped like a river.
For example, Crouching Dragon is where a dragon vein is located. He then erected seven stone civet cat statues and placed them along the Fengshui Lingshu of Shantang River. These seven stone statues were like a chain, locking the dragon vein.
Such legends are quite unfounded and are nothing more than the talk of Suzhou people after dinner. However, the story of Liu Bowen erecting a stone civet statue to suppress Zhang Shicheng's dragon vein is widely circulated among the people in Suzhou. This is also adopted in the introduction of tourist attractions in Shantang Street today.
kind of statement.
There is a third theory about the origin of the Shantang Street stone fox statue.
Speaking of civet cats, there is a classic traditional play called "Civet Cat for Prince". The story tells that during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, Concubine Liu and her servant Guo Huai conspired to fight for favor, and secretly replaced the prince born to Concubine Li with a skinned civet cat.
.The child was rescued by the eunuch Chen Lin and adopted by the Eight Wise King Zhao Defang. The Zhenzong had no children, so he appointed Zhao Defang's son to inherit the throne. There seemed to be some divine will, and the heir he chose was his own son.
After succeeding to the throne was Song Renzong.
This story first appeared in Yuan dramas and had been widely circulated by the Ming Dynasty. "The civet cat exchanges for the prince" became a familiar classic play, and after being processed by literati, it became part of the "Bao Gong's Case". Folklore of Bao Zheng
On orders to go to Chenzhou to provide food relief for disasters, he met Concubine Li who was living among the people and complained. After investigation, the truth about the old secrets came to light.
This story was later incorporated into the famous Qing Dynasty novel "Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses", but before "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" was written, the story of the civet cat exchanging for the prince had long been a household name among the people. This story is not completely fabricated out of thin air.
Song Renzong was indeed not born to Empress Dowager Liu, but the son of a palace maid named Li, who was adopted by the then Concubine Liu Def. Song Renzong succeeded to the throne when he was young, and Concubine Liu Def once ruled as the Queen Mother. It was not until the death of Empress Dowager Liu that Song Renzong knew
Who is your biological mother?
It did happen in history, but it had nothing to do with Bao Zheng. Later, someone attached this historical record and compiled it into the story of a civet cat exchanging for a prince.
The civet cat is a lynx in the wild. It has a particularly strong ability to survive and reproduce. People in Suzhou once worshiped the civet cat as a spiritual animal, and there is a saying that "touching the lynx's head will bring you good luck all year round." Among the people, the civet cat is said to have "many children and easy reproduction."
"Symbol of ". Song Zhenzong in the story has no children, and the "civet cat in exchange for the prince" is not a random arrangement. This is related to the symbol of the civet cat.
In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, during the Chenghua and Hongzhi years, similar things happened in the palace. At that time, the royal family's heirs were withering away, and the emperor not only had few sons, but also had difficulty in raising them. Therefore, the imperial court liked to raise civet cats for auspicious omens, which also caused
This has led to folk imitation. This custom already exists in Suzhou, and some people even carve bluestone civet cat statues on Shantang Street to pray for the prosperity of goods.
This third legend is the most reliable, and may be closest to the true origin of the stone fox statue on Shantang Street. In any case, there have been stone fox statues on Shantang Street since ancient times. According to folklore, Qili Mountain
Tang Street is sometimes called "Qili Street", and some people say it is "Shili Street", which is another homophony of "Ten Mile Street" in "A Dream of Red Mansions".
Nowadays, stone fox statues have been rebuilt locally. If most tourists have not heard the legend beforehand, they may not notice those stone fox statues when walking through this thousand-year-old street, but Cheng Tianle did. He felt that these statues with silly expressions
It’s quite fun, I’ve seen several of them along the way.
