Chapter 216 Shao Yong's Death

Uncle Zhang Qingfang continued to say that Mr. Shao Yong was in such a heyday of Chinese culture, and a large group of learned intellectuals were naturally gathered around him, including Fu Bi, Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu, Cheng Yi, Cheng Hao, and Zhang Zai, who had close contact with Shao Yong, and these very knowledgeable experts all highly praised Shao Yong, which shows how outstanding Mr. Shao Yong is!

When Mr. Shao Yong was young, he had great ambitions and studied hard, and read everything in books. According to "History of the Song Dynasty.""Biography of Shao Yong" records: Shao Yong started his studies and was a hard work that encouraged himself. He did not have a furnace in the cold, did not have a fan in the heat, and did not have a seat at night for several years.

Later, in order to increase his knowledge, Mr. Shao Yong also traveled around, crossed the Yellow River, crossed the Fen River, crossed the Huai River, crossed the Han River, and went to Qi, Lu, Song, Zheng and other places. After returning, he said that the Tao is right

So he stopped wandering. At that time, a master Li Zhicai saw that he was eager to study, so he taught him the secrets of Yixue such as "River Map", "Luo Shu", "Fuxi Bagua". Mr. Shao Yong's foundation is extraordinary, he can integrate and understand and be content with his own wisdom, and eventually became a master of Yixue. He has a unique universe view, and is well aware of the laws of the transformation of heaven and earth, and the growth and decline of yin and yang. He can study the distant and ancient and modern people, and the small and flying grass and trees, and is unconfused. Moreover, he has extremely wisdom and thoughts, and can know before encountering things. That is, he has certain supernatural powers like a god. This ability to predict the future requires extraordinary wisdom!

I heard it more and more excitedly, and asked Mr. Shao Yong so well, wouldn’t he know when he would die?

Then how did he die? Uncle, come and listen!

Uncle Zhang Qingfang smiled and continued to say that this is of course no problem. In the tenth year of Xining, that is, in the summer of 1077, Shao Yong began to feel that his body was not good. Once he chatted with Sima Guang and others, and suddenly said with a smile: I want to watch the cycle of everything reincarnation. Cheng Yi said worriedly: Mr.'s illness is beyond help, but you have to find a way to recuperate yourself. Shao Yong said frankly: Nothing is useful. In autumn, Shao Yong's illness is even worse. He lay in bed all day long. Sima Guang, Fu Bi, Zhang Zaihe, Cheng Yi, Cheng Hao and other friends came to visit him every day, waiting by his side. Although Shao Yong's limbs could not move, his mind was very clear. He would talk to whoever came here and talk about knowledge. Once Cheng Yi came to visit Shao Yong. Before leaving, Shao Yong said: It seems that we are going to be farewell forever.Cheng Yi couldn't help feeling sad and asked Shao Yong: Do you have anything to leave to me, sir?

Shao Yong said: If the road in front of him is wider and narrower, there is not even a place for him to stand. How can people walk?

Cheng Yi nodded and said, "On a day in winter, Shao Yong was already dying. Relatives and friends rushed over and began to prepare for his funeral. The two Cheng brothers, Sima Guang, Lu Gongyao and others gathered in the outer room to discuss how to hold the funeral. You said, I could not decide for a moment. Shao Yong, who was lying in the inner room, heard their comments, so he called his son Bowen to the bed and said to him: I have three requirements, I must satisfy me.

Bowen cried and said: Just tell me,

Shao Yong said intermittently: First, after I die, I cannot bury me in Luoyang, I must be buried in the cemetery of the ancestors of Yichuan. Second, the epitaph should be written by Cheng Hao and Cheng Bolai. Third, don’t bury anything with me. I am wearing a coarse cloth and black clothes. The clothes must be oiled. When burying, I will find the Li family’s little bald daughter and let her watch.After saying that, when Bowen agreed noddedly, Shao Yong closed his eyes and left the world. His family and friends found the Li family's little bald daughter when they were buried in the burial, and asked her to watch Shao Yong put on a coarse cloth black clothes, apply oil on the clothes, then put it in a coffin, and put it on the pillow. He asked the little bald daughter to see what was buried inside, and then nailed the coffin lid and sent it to Yichuan Cemetery. On the way to the funeral, there were many people standing on both sides, men, women, young and old, crying and wiping tears, constantly muttering about Mr. Shao's various benefits. The coffin was carried by eight young guys. At first, they felt it was very heavy and their shoulders were pressing so hard, so they walked very slowly. But after going out for about ten miles, they walked forward lighter and lighter, and it was not difficult to carry it at all. It felt strange. Later, people found that when they encountered an uphill, the inside was Guru GuruThe ground sounded from the front to the back. When going downhill, the ground sounded from the ground sounded from the back to the front. Someone became scared and said to himself: What is it?

A man said: It's like the wheel head is rolling back and forth

Then how can the pulley roll?

The old people said that it was Mr. Shao who attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven, there was no one in the coffin, empty, only the wheelheads left!

Sixty or seventy years passed in a flash. The little bald daughter got married, gave birth to a son, and the son married a wife and a grandson. His grandson was not good at growing up and specialized in stealing coffins and robbing tombs. One day, he muttered to others that he wanted to steal Shao Yong's grave, but the little bald daughter heard it and hurriedly stopped him and said: Don't go. When Mr. Shao was buried, I could see clearly that there was nothing inside, and even the clothes were not good, and he even put on oil. The grandson asked: Is it true?

The little bald girl said, it's true, I saw it with my own eyes

In this way, Shao Yong's grave was not robbed. It turned out that even before Shao Yong died, the future grandson of the little bald daughter was a man who robbed the tomb. She might come to steal his tomb in the future. This profound wisdom is really amazing!
