2. Forgotten rivers
The starting point of life. People who have experienced life again and again can't have memories of past lives, just because everyone drinks Meng Po Tang on Naihe Bridge before being reborn. Therefore, walking on the Naihe Bridge is the last time a person has memories of this life. At this moment, many people still cling to the unfulfilled wishes of their previous lives, but they deeply understand that these wishes are impossible to realize after all.
According to legend, there is a Hall of Heroes outside the gate of Du Feng Ghost House. There is a stone arch bridge called Naihe Bridge in front of the main hall, and the next stone pool under the bridge is the blood pool. Naihe Bridge, the East is the Dizang King Hall, and the West is the Blood River General Hall. It is said that the helpless river is the first level for ghosts to cross. There are flaming flowers on the other side of the yellow road. The flowers on the other side of the river are generally considered to be flowers that grow along the Santo River.

3. Sanshengshi
One day, they made an appointment to visit Qingcheng Mountain and Emei Mountain in Sichuan. Tang gaozu wanted to go upstream from Hubei by waterway, while Yuan Ze advocated going into Sichuan by land via Chang 'an Xiegu. Ethan disagreed. Yuan Ze had to obey him and sighed, "A person's fate is really beyond his control!" So we went by water together and arrived at Nanpu. The boat leaned against the shore and saw a woman in satin pajamas go to the river to fetch water.
When Yuan Ze saw it, he shed tears and said to Ethan, "I don't want to go by water because I'm afraid to see her!" Ethan was surprised and asked him why. He said, "Her surname is Wang, and I am destined to be her son. Because I refused to come, she was still three years pregnant, so since she met her, she couldn't escape. Now, please use a spell to help me reincarnate quickly. Please come to see me at the Wangs when I take a shower in three days.
I take a smile as proof. Thirteen years later, on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, when you come to Tianzhu Temple in Hangzhou, I will definitely come to see you. "Grief and remorse, on the one hand, Li bathed and changed clothes for him, and by dusk, Yuanze died, and the woman by the river also saw the birth. Three days later, Ethan went to see the children. When the baby saw Ethan smile, Ethan told Wang everything.
The Wangs took money to bury Yuan Ze at the foot of the mountain. Ethan was no longer in the mood to travel, so he returned to Huilin Temple. Only the disciples in the temple said that Yuan Ze had written a suicide note. Thirteen years later, Ethan came from Luoyang to Tianzhu Temple in West Lake in Hangzhou and went on a date in Yuan Ze. Outside the temple, he suddenly heard a shepherd boy patting his horn.
The stories of Zen masters Yuan Ze and Ethan are widely circulated. Today, outside Tianzhu Temple in West Lake, Hangzhou, there is still a big stone, which is said to be the place where they met in those years. It is called "Sansheng Stone".
4. Naihe Bridge
Naiheqiao is the place where people are reincarnated in China Taoism and Han folk mythology. There will be an elderly goddess named Meng Po, who will give each ghost a bowl of Meng Po Tang to make them forget the memory of past lives and be reborn in the next life. Helplessness has nothing to do with Buddhism The translation of Sanskrit Narakade is a free translation: hell, transliterated as "Narojia", not "helplessness".
There are two popular sayings about this bridge, one is called Naihe Bridge, and the other is called Naihe Bridge. It is said that there is a river in the underworld called Naihe, and it is said that it means "helplessness" in Chinese, which just corresponds to the regret and helplessness when people are reincarnated. In the folklore of the Han nationality, after death, the soul must cross the Naihe Bridge, and the kind people can cross the bridge smoothly under the protection of the Buddha.
The wicked are thrown into a pool of blood and suffer. This bridge is divided into three layers. Ghosts of good people can cross the bridge safely, while ghosts of good and evil cross the middle bridge. When evil spirits cross the bridge, most of them are stopped by ghosts in the dirty waves under the bridge and bitten by copper snakes and iron dogs. At the annual incense party, pilgrims rushed to throw paper money or copper coins into the pool and sprinkle fried rice into the pool, thinking that they could give it to hungry ghosts.
Many elderly pilgrims like to walk on the bridge, thinking that they can avoid the pain of crossing the Naihe Bridge after death. "As you can see, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, some kind men and women went to the bridge to burn incense and paper, and gave money and material piety, hoping to protect Naihe Bridge after the death of the Buddha.
5. Meng po Tang
There is an old man named Meng Po next to Wangxiangtai, with a bucket of Meng Po soup in his hand. Everyone is going to Naiheqiao, and Meng Po will ask you if you want to drink a bowl of Mengpo soup. Mengpo soup is an ordinary soup. Just because of adding a seasoning called "forget", you will forget it for a lifetime. Love and hate of life, ups and downs of life, gains and losses, will be forgotten with this bowl of Meng Po Tang.
Those who care about this life and those who hate this life will be strangers in the next life. People of all kinds walked across the bridge, drank the soup in the bowl and hurried off the bridge. Some people can still hear lingering sobs and promises handed down from generation to generation when they pass by. But Meng Po on the bridge didn't seem to hear anything, and still took the soup to the people on the bridge as usual.
After drinking Meng Po Tang, no matter how hard I worked in my last life and how painful my love was, I will forget it and wait for the next reincarnation. There was once a woman who was stubborn and refused to forget her past life, preferring to live in the memories of the past life.
She is like the second flower on the other side. Men once said that a person who died on the Naihe Bridge would never forget her even after drinking Meng Po Tang. They will be together forever, and the woman will believe it and wait on the bridge!

Legend has it that there is a small light temple in Haining, Zhejiang. There are two eminent monks in this temple, one is called Zen Master Wu Jie, and the other is Zen Master Wu Ming. The two Zen masters are brothers and meditate together every day. The five precepts Zen master is a senior, and soon, the five precepts Zen master became the host of this temple. The Five Rings Zen Master had a disciple named Qingyi. One day, Qingyi brought a baby girl's bread from the outside, saying that someone had thrown it at the temple gate.
The five precepts Zen master said, become a monk and save a life. You should report this child to you to feed, and don't let anyone find it. When you are five or six years old, go down the mountain and find someone to adopt you. This disciple of Qingyi reported the baby girl to his hospital and carefully fed her every day. When she was five or six years old, she became a girl with heavy makeup and jade, as stubborn as a thousand.
Just when the five precepts Zen master seemed to forget this matter, Qingyi secretly left the child, dressed as a little novice monk, and raised him until he was sixteen. On this day, the Zen master suddenly remembered the child and asked Qingyi. If it doesn't work, just tell the truth. The Zen master was helpless and offered to see the children. Who knows that the five precepts Zen master saw the child and lost his mind.
Suddenly I couldn't control myself and completely lost my Taoist demeanor. But also said to Qingyi, let the children serve themselves. Thinking that Qingyi has also raised this child for more than ten years, how can she be willing to give up as her own daughter? As a result, the Zen master tempted him with money and finally agreed. In the evening, Qingyi quietly dressed the girl as a novice monk, went into the Zen master's room and hid in the closet.
The Zen master went back to his room and couldn't wait to pull the girl to bed, so he broke lust, caution and caution so easily. What's more, the five precepts Zen master hid the girl in the closet during the day, stole some food and let her sleep at night. The girl didn't resist at all, and the five precepts Zen master lived like this for a long time. So two Zen masters were reincarnated one after another, and the other was Su Zizhan.
One went to Gu Jie, and his name was Xie Ruiqing. The two have been studying together since childhood, and their relationship is very close. Moreover, both of them are eloquent and eloquent, and they are all from the hands of talented people, but their interests are different. Su Zizhan was bent on being an official and looked down on these Buddhist monks. And this Xie Ruiqing is dedicated to the Buddha. The two often quarrel about Buddhism, leaving many legends.
