Chapter 12: Mystery of the Quarry Master's Tomb

I traveled to Longtan Wanjian, Wanjian, Wanjian, because it is located in the northeast of the Wan Gongshan (Tianzhu Mountain), formerly known as the Wanjian, where a collection of Yang's fifth ancestor of the Qianjin Zhenyi Gong's descendants. I have the honor to meet with Mr. Yang Jisheng, president of the Yang Clan Council many times, and look through the "Yang Clan Genealogy" volume and the end of the volume, excerpts from some of the literary and historical information. Yang's genealogy:

The abbot opened the north-south passage of the Wu Temple; Rikong masters to the emperor's mother to diagnose the disease. The former engraved on the lotus stone can be clearly seen; the latter hanging silk pulse diagnosis is famous all over the world. A Zen Master Daikong (true four), a walking doctor Rikong (true five). Over the centuries, the two monks buried both magical legends, while leaving many unanswered questions.

Dawu Temple site in the bell-shaped bell mouth, the divine doctor Rikong's tomb is in the temple after the phoenix-shaped. From the point of view of feng shui, this affixed to the bell-shaped waist section of the spreading wings of the golden phoenix is indeed a feng shui treasure. Legend has it that the Qinglou a Xu Buzheng burial relatives, in the first month of 1596 AD, due to heavy snow obstruction, buried two hundred years of the Divine Doctor Rikong Zen Master sitting jar taken out, in the main cave buried under his father, Rikong Zen Master moved to the next.

I several times on the Da Wu Temple, and then contacted a few old people, after inquiring, do not know the founding father of the empty tomb buried in what place. According to them, the entrance to the temple, that is to say, there is a monk's grave in the back of the pond, and many households around the housing also have a monk's grave, but no monument and even more so, there is no pagoda.

"Yang's genealogy" related to the content of my attention, I told Mr. Yang, in the Dawu Temple across the post in Yangsi Village, opposite the old house of Xu Hua house, there are three coffins of monks graves, there are stone pagodas, including the middle of a pagoda Fang Chui shaped stone surface engraved with "abbot Pagoda" words, Pagoda stone and the Dawu Temple Temple, the same as the rear of the Rikong pagoda stone, I and forwarded the "Monk's Grave" to the "Dawu Temple," which is the first time I have seen this pagoda, and the "Dawu Temple," I have seen it. I also forwarded the "secrets of the monk's grave" article with him, he read in detail and was shocked, he said: "This is likely to be the founder of the true four Gong Daikong's tomb."

Later one day to meet, Yang Jisheng and the old branch together to visit the monk's grave in Yangsi Village, I took the time to accompany. After a few ridges, the three coffins of monk graves are in sight, they took photos, sighing. These three pagodas are generally similar, the center of the tower is slightly higher and thicker, the front of the "Abbot's Pagoda" characters. More importantly, the Rikong Pagoda imitation whip-shaped stone column and Xu Huayu opposite the monk's grave imitation whip-shaped stone column is extremely similar to the two pagodas selected stone material is the same.

It is a pity that the Dawu Temple Rikong Pagoda above the cap, in a certain era was carried away, the whereabouts of the Yang clan descendants in 2011 with the marble to make a new spire, in the same year in the tomb behind the new engraved epitaph. Repair when imitation Chui behind the stone pillar, whether there is Xu Hua House opposite the same oblique square hole?

According to the Hua-ya local elders legend, before 1949, the monks of the Da Wu Temple to come to worship every year, said the monk's grave is buried in the Da Wu Temple, the monk. Yangsi Village, there is no temple, the monk's grave under the ancient road connected to the spring breeze concave, north of the Da Wu Temple, therefore, the middle of the "Abbot Pagoda" and Da Wu Temple, Zen Master Daikong burial correlation is very large.
