Chapter 207 "Stone Words"
A long time ago, there was a man named Lu Pei (shi, pronounced with the same division) in Jianning Prefecture (an ancient place name. It is located in the north of what is now Fujian Province, and its capital is now Jianou City). He lived in an ancient temple at the northern foot of Wuyi Mountain all year round. read.
One day in broad daylight, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the sky became dark, as if it was dusk and it would soon get dark.
At this moment, Lu Pei saw that all the stones on the steps in front of the door stood up like people!
The cold wind blew outside the window, and the window paper and leaves flew up, and they stuck to the stones and couldn't get off.
After a while, the tiles on the eaves were blown by the wind and fell on the stones, and those stones immediately turned into people.
The window paper and leaves stuck to the stones have turned into their clothes, and the tiles have turned into hats and turbans.
Suddenly, there were only a dozen tall and slender men sitting among the Buddhist halls of the temple, discussing something softly. These people speak elegantly and their voices are melodious.
Lu Pei knew that they were not human beings, and was horrified. He didn't dare to look too much, for fear that he would be discovered by them, so he quickly closed the window, climbed into bed, and covered his head in the bed to sleep.
The next morning, Lu Po got up and went to the Buddhist temple to check, but found no trace.
Unexpectedly, after noon that day, the sky would be the same as yesterday. The clear sky suddenly turned dark, and the stone stood up like the day before, and turned into a human form again.
It was like this for several days in a row.
After a while, it became a daily routine. But they just talk and talk and never do any harm.
Lu Pei's courage gradually grew, and she gradually dared to go out and talk to them.
Lu Po asked them their surnames, and most of them had compound surnames. They claimed to be from the Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin Dynasties, and two of them, the older ones, were from the Qin Dynasty.
However, the things they talked about were different from those recorded in the history books of the Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin Dynasty that have been handed down.
Lu Pei liked talking to them very much and felt that they were more knowledgeable than studying by herself.
Over time, Lu Pei got used to taking pleasure in this. After lunch every day, I wait for them to arrive.
However, every time I asked them why they could rely on objects to transform into human forms, they didn't answer. When I asked them again why they didn't live in the temple all the time, they didn't answer either.
When asked again, they just replied: "Mr. Lu is a refined scholar! The moonlight is bright tonight, let's all come here to practice martial arts together, so as to increase the knowledge that Mr. Lu has never seen before."
That night, when the moon rose, they indeed came with their swords.
There were also a few people who brought ancient weapons, not like spears or halberds. Lu Po didn't recognize them, but she couldn't force them to give them names.
Immediately, those people started dancing in the moonlight.
Some people performed alone, and some performed in pairs, all of which were very exciting.
After Lu Pei saw it, she felt that their martial arts had been lost for a long time and she had never seen them before. So I thanked them again and again.
Another day passed, and those people came as usual.
This time they said to Lu Pei: "We have been together with Mr. Lu for a long time, and we have deep feelings for each other! However, there is no such thing as a banquet in the world! Although we can't bear to say goodbye, in order to complete our previous life, we have no choice but to leave." We are going to reincarnate overseas tonight, so we have to say goodbye to your husband!"
When Lu Pei heard this, she could only send them out the door, even though she felt extremely reluctant to give up.
From then on, the temple became silent, and there was no such thing as a stone turning into a human being.
Lu Pei felt very desolate in her heart, as if she had lost a friend.
In order to miss them, Lu Pei often recalled every moment of her time with them, and also recorded the stories of her conversations with them, and completed a book manuscript named "Stone Words".
Lu Pei deliberately wanted to print and publish this book so that more people could see the stories and spread them to future generations.
It is a pity that his family was poor and could not realize it. The manuscript still remains with his son Lu Dayan.
