Yesterday we walked down the Qixiang Bridge, and talked about the story of a Qipu Temple here. Logically speaking, the specific location of Qipu actually has to go west and north. But since the new temple is now built here, let’s just talk about a story about this “Qipu”, let’s invite today’s protagonist, the “No Monk” of the King of Qipu.

In the old days, the Wang family was not big or small in Qipu area, so they could be called a clan, but the most familiar one among them should be considered as the one who later became a monk and called "the monk" and Wang Ying was ugly. The story takes place in the thirteenth year of the Yongli period (1659), also the 16th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the Ming Dynasty had reached its final stage. I don’t know if you who have followed me along the way still remember that when we talked about Cangshui Street in Luocheng, Ningbo, we said that it was not until the departure of the anti-Qing national hero Zhang Cangshui that the Ming Dynasty was truly dead. At that time, there were only seven years left before this day. At that time, Wang Yingchou, who "Boyou Jingkou" (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu), followed Zhang Cangshui's army. With the cooperation with Zheng Chenggong , he conquered more than 20 cities in Anhui. He was later appointed as the magistrate of Chao County (now Anhui Chaohu ).

It was from this that an interesting phenomenon appeared in this pure land. Although our senior brother Shuan Yue was in Buddhism, he never practiced Buddhist affairs. In the solitary "Su Gu" he built himself, he did not offer Buddha statues, but worshipped his ancestors and Zhang Cangshui. On the bookshelf on both sides were various books he collected and read, but there were no quotations on the scriptures. Every night, a light shines on the water, a book, a beam of light, a monk, all night. Even in his later years, he broke the Buddhist taboos and did not refuse to drink and meat. Do you think he is addicted to the world? But he also found that he seemed to be truly transcending from the world.

In Quan Zuwang 's "Sustaining Elderly", he also described him as "whoever takes friends as his life, it is difficult to get along with each other, and if he is together, he will never give up forever." Therefore, when facing many doubts, he always replied lightly, "Do you know that the sir is not settled?" The "No Monk" was born from this, and it really feels like "those who know me say I am worried, and those who don't know me say I want what I want."

Okay, let’s talk about today’s story. Tomorrow, let’s continue walking along the gurgling Nantang River. There is a gorgeous building waiting for us on the bridge. Follow me, see you all the time.
