The Mystery of the Word “Horse” in Xianhuyan

Author: Wang Jinyang

A long time ago, there was a temple called “Xianhuyan” in Ou Village, Xiping, where twenty-eight monks lived. The monks carried a tank full of water every night, but at dawn, there was only a little water left in the tank. Halfway through the tank, the monks all thought it was a water tank leak, and they didn’t pay attention to it day after day.

One day, a young monk named “Oolong” came. He carefully checked that there was no leakage in the water tank, but where did the water go at dawn? So that night, he secretly hid under the tea tree behind the temple, staring at the water tank.

At midnight, a big white horse suddenly appeared from the lake in front of the temple and walked to the water tank. , He drank almost all the water in the tank in big gulps. It was too late, but soon, Oolong grabbed a big stone from behind and hit the white horse with a “bang”… Suddenly, the white horse turned into Got a stone…

At dawn the next day, Wulong took a closer look at the stone. It turned out that there were some vague characters on it, and only the word “horse” in the middle could be made out. That night, Wulong saw the white horse in his sleep and said to him unhappily: “Brother Wulong, there are eighteen tanks of gold, eighteen tanks of silver, and eighteen tanks of swords and guns underground in this temple. I am Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Old Ma, who has asked me to manage these treasures here for a long time, has always given gold and silver to good poor people if I see them, and stabbed them to death with this knife and spear if I see a vicious villain. Because the water in the lake in front of the door is iron.

The quality is too salty, so I come up every night to secretly drink the water in the tank; I am old, and I was seriously injured last night and turned into a stone, but I am still managing these treasures. If any smart and kind person can understand in the future With these words, you can get these treasures. Anyone who has done something wrong will get retribution after reading it.”…

In the autumn of that year, the corrupt officials in the county government knew about this. They wanted to get these treasures, so they sent an army to kill all the twenty-eight monks in the temple, and dug and searched all over the ground.

But they got nothing… In the mountains less than a mile back, they encountered twenty-eight ferocious tigers, and they were all killed. The local people said that these tigers were the twenty-eight monks. of.

Over the thousands of years, how many people have come to know this story and come to investigate, but none of them can understand the words on the stone tablet. Until now, only the word “horse” is still vaguely visible on the stone tablet, and the other words are becoming increasingly blurred. This may always remain a mystery…
