Dang Dynasty Changqing (Dang Muzong Li Heng's reign, from 785 to 824 AD), that is, in 787 AD, Cui Guicong (this is a personal name. The ancients believed that turtles were spiritual beasts, and they often named them with the word turtle, such as Dang Li Guinian, and Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty called Zhang Baigui). Because of his good political achievements, he was promoted to Hezhongfu and his official position was Dali's judge.
One night, Cui Gui got off work and went home to sleep.
Just as he fell asleep, Cui Gui had a dream. In the dream, he and a few people went to the government office. When he arrived in the courtyard, he found someone in the room. The man was sitting behind the long case and seemed to be working. There were many servants around him and on both sides of the steps, which looked very majestic.
There was another person next to the man, sitting sideways, looking at his appearance and clothes, almost the same as him, both with big noses, very bright eyes, and holding a pen in his hand, as if he was deciding something.
Cui Gui instinctively bowed down and then stepped down. When I arrived west, under the window in the room, I looked very close to the document book, as if it was the documentary room at that time. Cui Gui guessed that the local information was placed here, just like the room stacked by the county government archives. Sure enough, within a while, a small official came out with a book in his arms.
Recalling the two people I saw just now, Cui Guicong suddenly woke up. He immediately walked up to the little official and said, "Is this the underworld? I want to know what my future will be and how long will my life last? Can you take me to check it?"
The little official looked at Cui Guicong and the people behind him, and said, "You two will be the governors here in the future, so you don't have to read the document book."
Cui Guicong was very happy, thanked the little official, and came out, and saw another colleague of his own sitting on the ground playing pipu (an ancient game, similar to rolling dice, can also be used for gambling). At this time, he forgot that the little official did not say how long he lived.
Soon, Cui Gui woke up and felt strange. He remembered the things in the dream clearly, as if they were vivid in his mind. However, he knew that the person who followed him in the dream was an acquaintance, but after waking up, he forgot who that person was.
At that time, his career was not going well, so he was also content to learn that he could be the governor. But he never expected that the governor was not the highest point in his career.
After dawn, Cui Gui went to work and arrived at the Gong Mansion. He told his colleagues about his dream last night.
When my colleagues heard this, they all felt it was magical. Everyone thought that this was a good dream, a good dream. One of the colleagues also explained the dream: "You dreamed of yourself and dreamed of Pipu again. The so-called Pu is Puzhou . This means that you will be in charge of Puzhou in the future and become the governor of Puzhou." (It should be wrong, because from the back, Cui Gui never became the governor of Puzhou)
Everyone thinks it makes sense, and Cui Guicong also thinks it is. After all, the minor official in the dream also said that he will become the governor. After
, every time I go to the temple, Cui Gui will think of this dream. However, he has visited many temples, worshiped the River Temple and the Xiyue Temple, and found that none of them were what he saw in his dreams. When he was an adult, Cui Gui was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and later transferred to the position of , Xuanzhou governor. At that time, twenty years had passed since his dream. And Cui Guicong has long forgotten his dream.
In May, Cui Gui arrived in Xuanzhou from Xuancheng has Jingting Temple. A minor official told him: "Local people respect the gods of the Ting Mountain. No matter the great gods and the little gods, they will worship each year and never leave any one behind. In the past, when the local officials came to take office, they would worship the gods of the Ting. Sir, I hope you can also worship them."
Cui Gui was sick since then and never went there. In the autumn, his illness was cured, so he went to the temple to worship the gods.
As soon as he arrived at the temple gate, Cui Gui remembered his dream back then, because he saw that there was a person in the painting on the wall, who told him in his dream that he could be the governor. When he arrived at the temple, everything was the same as in his dream, but the person who was with him in the dream did not come.
After returning, Cui Guicong told his wife about this.
In July of the following year, Cui Guichen became sick again. He had diarrhea and the more he ate, the more he ate, the more he felt. Therefore, he didn't like to eat more. Even so, he still felt a sharp pain all over his body at night.
Recalling the dream back then, Cui Gui couldn't help but think: "The little official said, I will be the governor. Now I have become the governor of Xuanzhou. Could it be that my life is over?" Everyone is afraid of death, and he couldn't help but pray.
Finally fell asleep, Cui Gui had a dream again, dreaming that he would wake up in the morning and go to the government office to do things as usual. He just arrived at the side door of the lounge. A manager named Yao Gui in his home said in his ear: "The Lord of the Zuofu of Jingting Mountain has sent someone to pass the message, I'm waiting for you."
Hearing this, Cui Gui was so scared that his hair and hair stood up. He guessed that someone came from the underworld and something unusual was about to happen.
When he got into the room, he had not sat down yet, he saw a man wearing armor and carrying a big knife and rushing in. Cui Gui saw that the person was extremely burly, with a black complexion and a little red, and looked black and red, not like a human face. He was wearing purple clothes, as old as fading.
Now, Cui Gui recognized this person. This person was the earth sculpture under the steps of Jingting Temple, which is the little god of clay sculpture in Jingting Temple.
Before the earth-sculpting man had spoken, Cui Guichen sternly said, "How old can I live to be?"
The man immediately said, "How old can I live to be in my sixties!"
"Don't you want to pass the message? Tell me."
"It's over."
"I've been sent. I came this time because of my previous dream. I forgot to tell the adults that your life span is over 60 years old. This time, the adults happened to ask, so I said. Goodbye, goodbye!" The earth-sculpting man said that, and left.
At this time, Cui Gui woke up. After waking up, he still remembers what the man said, he could live to his sixties. But he regretted it very much because the rustic man didn't say that he was in his sixties! You know, the difference between 61 and 69 is eight or nine years old!
Perhaps, the gods can only say their approximate age, not too specific. Just like before, the minor official only said that I could be a governor, but didn't say that I would be a governor. Cui Gui has always comforted herself like this.
However, Cui Gui is still worried. After dawn, he wrote this on paper and asked his son to take the wine to pray in the temple, hoping to live a healthy and long life.
As a result, the son went to pray, but Cui Guicong fell ill. The doctor came and told him after seeing the disease that he was sick because of cold body this time and should take hot medicine to prevent the disease from worsening.
Cui Gui heard that Zhejiang West has a famous doctor, so he sent his son to Zhejiang West to seek medical treatment for him. There is a doctor named Shen Zhongsui in western Zhejiang, who is a famous doctor. So he went to Puzhou via the post station to take the pulse and found the cause of the disease. It was said that the body was overheated, which caused poor airflow and blockage, so the disease began. So he prepared a prescription, which contained ventilated medicines such as licorice and rhinoceros horn, and then asked Cui Gui to take the medicine on time. Ten days later, Cui Gui's health has improved a lot. After one month, he has recovered completely and can't help but feel happy.
This time, after Cui Gui recovered from his illness, he felt that his health was better than before. He secretly guessed that the God of Jingting was helping him, and it might be because he asked for help from Jingting God that Jingting God helped him. No matter what, Jingting God is helping him.
Thinking of this, Cui Gui realized from the beginning that more than 20 years ago, the God of Jingting Mountain had sent him a dream through the underworld, telling him that he could become the governor of Xuanzhou in the future and live in his sixties. He was very happy and wrote another article to worship the god of Jingting Mountain, and took out his own money to repair the temple, and even the little god of earth dolls was rebuilt. He also invited a skilled painter to paint on the temple walls, making it very grand. On the day of completion of
, Cui Gui Chong invited a band and personally waved his sleeves and danced to celebrate the completion of the temple restoration and the gods' care for him.
That year he dreamed that after dreaming of Lepu, you dare not play this kind of game again. Until now, he was sure that he was safe and dared to play again.Later, Cui Guicong became the prime minister and retired to Luoyang when he was the crown prince's junior guarantor.
Dazhong seventh year, that is, in 853 AD, Cui Guicheng died at the age of 66. (In folk stories, the statement is unclear, so this age is written by me personally.)
(Note: In history, Cui Guicong was a man who was the governor of Xuanzhou, prime minister, and the prince Shaobao. He wrote "Shu Jingting Temple Stele in the Underworld" and "Jingting Temple Memorials". " Complete Tang Wen " used this matter, and Cui Guicong said it himself. But because the birth year is uncertain, I don't know how old he lived.)
Right, there is another question, who is the person who is with Cui Guicong and the minor official said that they will be the governor of Xuanzhou? There is no answer given in the article, maybe it is , . After all, among the successive governors of Xuanzhou (prefect), Xie Tiao and Cui Guicong were more famous.
