In the late night, we were the only table in the small restaurant on the street, and there was no one on the street.

On the other end of the phone, the fat sister slowly said: "I heard from the old Weiping fishermen in the past that a long time ago, there was a wharf on Xin'an River called Jiukengyuan Wharf. One day, a group of strange-dressed monks took a boat to Jiukengyuan Wharf. No one knew where they came from. The locals couldn't understand what they said. The monk who led was very old, big and thick, and had a long white beard, but his eyes were blue, and people called him the blue-eyed Hu monk."

"This blue-eyed Hu monk brought an interpreter and preached at the dock every day. Anyone who went to listen to the lectures could get ten cents every time. Among the people who went there, there was a man named Fang Shisan. Do you know who Fang Shisan is?"

"Fang Shisan? Sister, I don't know."

"It's Fang La! It's the rebellious person who fought against Lu Zhishen in Water Margin. The blue-eyed Hu Monk said that Fang La had dragon energy wrapped around him, but it lacked dragon bone, dragon flesh and dragon blood, so he took him as a seated disciple. However, the dragon bone, dragon flesh and dragon blood were not easy to create. The blue-eyed Hu Monk said that it could only be carried out when his dragon energy showed its appearance. Then Fang La rebelled and became the eldest disciple of the old monk who sat down with the blue-eyed."

"Later, the imperial court sent a large army to suppress it, and Fang La retreated step by step. He asked for a solution from the Blue-eyed Hu Monk."

"He found five thousand men and five thousand women, and used a knife to cut their backs, put a kind of crab roe given by the Blue-eyed Hu Monk in, and put the wound on the sewing, and then hung the men and women with ropes and threw them into Xin'an River to soak them, leaving their heads exposed on the water and exhale."

"The key is to prevent those people from dying. Every day, people feed them specifically. After soaking for a long time, those people were unconscious of their necks, and the meat was soaked. The crabs hatched from the crab roe ate the meat. Until the night of the fifteenth, the Blue-eyed Hu monk held a ritual called the Yuezhi Great Buddha Association. After the Buddha Association was completed, he issued an order and cut off the heads of those people in an instant."

"The five thousand men and five thousand women's heads sank into the Xin'an River and became a resentful spirit in the water with only heads. Fang La wanted to rely on these resentful spirits to drag the enemy's ship into the water. As a result, there were also capable people on the imperial army. The powerful man saw at a glance that the resentment on the Xin'an River was soaring, so he temporarily commanded the army to change the road. He did not take the Xin'an River waterway, and then defeated Fang La. The resentful spirits who had been cut off their heads were sleeping in the river and turned into Mao Xigua. Until 1958, in order to build a power station, the Mao Xigua went to Qiandao Lake with the flood."

"Brother, this is the news I've heard. Are you scared when you hear it?"

"I'm afraid, sister, I'm really scared."

Actually, I’m afraid of nothing. I do this every day, just dealing with coffins and dead people. I’m no longer afraid of anything.

"Brother, I know you have some doubts. I promise you that it is true! The old fisherman in Weiping who told me this matter said that his wife and grandfather saw the moon-wise Dharma ceremony hosted by the Blue-eyed Hu monk backed by him with his own eyes! There can't be fake, it's all true."

"I know, sister, thank you for your hard work, you have traveled to Lao Weiping these two days. It's so far away. I'll take my friends to your place to take care of the business in a while."

On the phone, the fat sister corrected me and said, "Brother, no trouble. I took you money. This is what you should do. There is one thing you didn't understand. There is Lao Weiping now. I'm looking for the former indigenous people. Lao Weiping is in the Shenhu Lake. In the past, there were more than 2,000 families and more than 8,000 people in the old town. Most of them immigrated to Kaihua, Jiangxi, and Anhui. A small number of people who didn't want to leave moved to the half-slope of Hongqiaotou. Hongqiaotou is the northernmost part of Lao Weiping, and the low terrain on the south side is flooded. The Weiping Town you see is actually the former Beiyu Village and the village area. My grandma used to be there. When I was a child, I liked to eat winter melon candy made by my grandma, as well as the specialty of Weiping's Cunjin Soup, pine candy, and fat shortbread cakes. Unfortunately, I can't eat it now. Oh... I can't tell you anymore, I'm talking about it. I'll have no phone bills."

"My brother, in short, no matter what Mao Xigua wants to do, listen to my advice from my elder sister, don't try to find those ghosts! Those are all resentful spirits that have been hidden in the deepest part of the water. It's very terrible! Things that Taoist priests and monks cannot save you, let alone you young."

After the words came, a busy voice came from the other end of the phone, and the fat sister hung up.

I put away my phone and frowned and asked, "Put your head, what do you think."

"There are credible parts and untrustworthy parts." said Zhang.

I nodded: "I think the credible part is too large. I read a lot of information before. At that time, I wondered why Tong Guan did not take the army to Fang La's nest with the Xin'an River, but instead divided the troops into three routes and chose to surround him. At first, I guessed that Tong Guan knew from the beginning that he could win. He divided the troops into three routes because he didn't take the rebel army seriously. His main purpose was to find the batch of treasures that Fang La plundered. I just heard the fat sister talk about this, and I think... Maybe there was such a thing on the Xin'an River back then."

"There are also heads. There are two key messages in the story told by Fat Sister, one is the so-called blue-eyed Hu Monk, and the other is the story about dragon bones, dragon flesh and dragon blood."

"The Watermelon Head says that the holy objects of the Wisdom Church are the flesh, bones, and blood of the Holy Lord. The predecessor of the Wisdom Church was Manichaeism. Although the interval was very long, there might be a connection between them."

"The monk from the blue-eyed Hu was probably a missionary of Manichi. The fat sister described her as her blue-eyed, long hair and white beard. She may not be a Han Chinese. At that time, the Song, Liao and Jin dynasties had been fighting for many years, and she might be a monk from the Turks or the West Asians who came back there."

"I read the maniac manuscript material Xu Tongshan gave me in detail. The book mentioned that the Maniac in the Song Dynasty was also divided into levels. The highest monk was called the Great Maniac monk. The following orders are: Great Monk Tong, Yuezhi Monk, Fuduo Dan Monk, and I forgot about two things. Among them, this Monk Monk was responsible for presiding over all rituals and Dharma Assembly. The fat sister said that the Blue-Eyed Hu Monk held a Moon-Eyed Great Buddha Meeting on Xin'an River. It can be inferred from this that the Blue-Eyed Hu Monk was the third person in Maniac who was second only to the Great Maniac monk and the Great Monk Monk."

"So the first half of the story told by Fat Sister should be facts. As for the legends of beheaded and resentful spirits in the second half, it is worth pondering."

I was analyzing and coughing my head.

It was the owner of the small restaurant who came over.

"Two, have you eaten?"

"What's wrong, boss, are you planning to close the door?" I asked.

"No, I usually drive until the second half of the night, haha."

I guess we ordered two servings of fried noodles. We sat for too long and drank several pots of tea during this period, which made him a little unhappy.

"We are not full yet, we are cooking three dishes and bringing a bottle of wine."

"No problem, what kind of dishes do you want to eat?"

"Just do whatever you want, don't eat fish."

"Okay, ten minutes."

Seeing that the boss was working again, I tore a white piece of paper from the front desk and took a pen.

"Yunfeng, what did you draw?"

I saw that I drew three circles on the paper and asked with a frown.
Chapter completed!
