Chapter 4 Chapter 3 The Romance of the West Garden

Zening is a bit like the Shangxian Lu Dongbin in the movie. I'm guessing not many of my readers have seen the TV series, maybe none. It is a ghost film jointly produced by actors from mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore. It tells the story of the return of the Eight Immortals and the battle against monsters. In addition to the Eight Immortals, there are Monkey King, Erlang God, Taishang Laojun, Queen Mother, Jade Emperor, Guanyin, and Tathagata Buddha. , there is the Dragon King of the East China Sea, there is the King of Hades, there are big and small monsters, ginseng essence, toon tree essence, pangolin, and Han Yu (he is Han Xiangzi's uncle). Go to the heaven, go down to the underworld, and there is also the extreme of heaven and earth, the deep sea dragon palace in the East China Sea, which has just gone through all kinds of hardships and became a fairy here (some people are easier to become a fairy, such as Lan Caihe, because he helped him in his previous life) Sun Wukong was busy, Sun Wukong gave him five hundred years of skill and he became a fairy, Han Xiangzi was the most difficult, after seventy-seven forty-nine days of five thunders, he was bitten to death by 10,000 ghosts, and he was reincarnated as Han after his death. Xiangzi), but there was another blood curse, the blood curse was finally broken, but was sucked into the bodies of the gods, the gods under the blood curse were full of problems, they helped the monsters beat their own people, and there were thousands of years of love calamity, The love triangle is really lively, and it is completely the condensation of the Chinese nation's thousands of years of supernatural culture.

Unexpectedly, at the end, there was a picture of Kawabata Yasunari, the pangolin (at this time his skill has reached the peak, only Tathagata Buddha can execute him) risked his life to save He Xiangu, but He still didn't love him, the pangolin used a pointed The screw-shaped iron object (his soul was once contained in the iron object) stabbed himself to death, and a black and yellow cloth canopy appeared where he disappeared, fluttering, following the beauty He Xiangu, the scene was beautiful, slow, and beautiful Sad, heartbreaking. This image made me fall in love. With my upbringing and nature, I have a deep abhorrence of fighting romance monsters. I feel dizzy when I see swords and sticks hitting me, and I will change the channel in a second, but my daughter likes it.

(In addition to showing that she is more vital than me, I suspect it was caused by my negligence. Once the newspaper office gave me two movie tickets, and the screening venue was Zhongshan Park Concert Hall. It was spring, and my My daughter is one and a half years old, and I think I can take her to Zhongshan Park to see magnolia flowers. After we filled two pockets with magnolia petals, we went to the concert hall. It was a Hong Kong martial arts movie, and I was about to quit. But my daughter stared wide-eyed, with a surprised expression on her face. I had to let her watch it for a few minutes. From then on, whenever and wherever a movie was mentioned, my daughter rushed to say: I know, there are many movies. Uncles and aunts fight.

This misunderstanding continues to this day. ) It was broadcast on Beijing TV's Red Star Theater, from 7:30 to 9:30 every night, and my daughter had to go to bed at 8:30 every night. Before she went to bed, she always told me to watch it for her. Tell her about it the next day, or she won't sleep. So every night between 8:30 and 9:30, I honestly sit in front of the TV and watch this monster movie, so that I can answer the next day, "Who eats the little ginseng essence?" ?” “Did He Xiangu’s soul come out of the sword?” Questions like this. I found that there was an infinite amount of space to open up my daughter's imagination.My hope for my daughter in the future is relatively general, that is, to be a healthy and happy person. From this point of view, the direction is correct based on the ghost film. Even if she can only sweep the streets and be with the gods in the future, she will have another A beauty we cannot see.

Now that the broadcast is over, I feel a bit lost, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out yesterday that Beijing Three Channels is rebroadcasting again, and the time has changed from 10:30 to 12:30. Like a drug addict, I can't hold back, It's time to watch again. But I suspect that I am not trying to expand my imagination, but I have taken a fancy to Lu Dongbin.Lu Ben is the Donghua real person in the sky. In order to guide the Eight Immortals to return to their thrones and eliminate demons, he voluntarily descended to the earth and reincarnated as Lu Dongbin. He re-cultivated and became an immortal in the mortal world.There is a peony fairy in the sky, a little fairy under the Queen Mother, who is in charge of guarding the peach garden. It takes three thousand years for the peaches to ripen, and a peach festival will be held once they are ripe.The Peony Fairy is really lonely, lonely and thoughtful, fell in love with Lu Dongbin, stole the needle for Lu Dongbin, but was beaten down to the mortal world, and became a prostitute for three generations.

There are many separations and reunions between these two people, love and resentment, Lu Dongbin, as the male number one, always flies around at various critical moments, wherever there are bad things, he is there, and wherever there are good things, there is him, he is white. Piao, a snow-white long robe, long hair hanging down to the waist, really handsome and elegant. I seldom like the male protagonist in the movie. Except for Rhett in the movie, I can't think of anyone at the moment.Anyway, watching Lu Dongbin in the middle of the night made me feel a little strange, and finally I realized that he was somewhat similar to a boyfriend I had many years ago.

This boyfriend is Zenin. Zenin appeared in front of my eyes in a flash of white light like a character in a monster movie, but he didn't have waist-length hair. If he had, he would be a lunatic. At that time, he was cutting short hair, and his style was a bit cold, not like an artistic person.Young people in the art world in the 1980s either shaved their heads or wore long hair, and all wore black T-shirts. When they went to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, they saw that it was a world of bald black gangsters. The nine-uplets are nine-uplets, they have no personality, and only when they go out of the gate can they be resurrected from the black uniform, with a bright personality flashing above their heads.

Zening never went to a formal academy of fine arts, but only to the art department of a teacher’s college. It sounds like there is as much soil as there is, but he often speaks wildly, thinking that Beijing is the most rustic, a large rural area, and the country’s Among the cities, only Shanghai is barely considered a city. Guangxi people prefer to talk about Hong Kong, so they say that Hong Kong is just a free market, a grocery store.But these words were said after we got to know each other well. These words made me feel a person's hostility to the world. But I didn't think so at the time. On the contrary, I found this person very interesting.

That time I went to Guangzhou to see the retrospective of Soviet films. I took the bus back and forth. The time was long and the journey was long. I was hoping for an interesting person to appear, but Zenin appeared.Ze Ning is an artist in the factory. Although he is an artist, he does not actively strive to be included in the film. Instead, he likes to write film reviews, and he is especially good at criticizing. Whether it is European or American films or Taiwanese and Hong Kong films, once he criticizes them, they will be divided into pieces immediately. It is said that he also wrote novels, but never published them.After returning from Guangzhou, he actively asked to be transferred to the Department of Literature, and we have become colleagues since then.

Regarding Wang Zening, I think we have to start from the beginning. One day, after breakfast at the Huanghuagang residence in Guangzhou, we walked along the corridor of holly trees in disarray (the residence is a bit like a hotel, and there are several restaurants for eating), Zening asked me: Lin spider spider , where are you going today?I said: go to see Pan Yuliang's painting exhibition.Zenin said: Let's go together.I said: good! At that time, I didn't know whether Zening was interesting or not, which was more important to me, because I was a not very interesting person, and if I stayed with someone who was not interesting, I would definitely yawn again and again.

But in a strange city, knowing the way is more important than being interesting. I have a problem that I have been taught repeatedly, that is, I will never know the way.Therefore, when Zening told me to go to the art exhibition with me, my first reaction was: don’t worry about knowing the way now! (When I was in Nanning, I often went to the cultural compound, but once I got lost in the courtyard, sweating profusely and couldn’t get out. When I arrived in Beijing, I lived in Dongsishitiao, next to the Lama Temple It only takes 20 minutes to go to work in Xilou Hutong, but you can only walk through the streets of Beixinqiao every time. If you walk through the Hutong once, you will definitely be fascinated in the Hutong for 40 to 50 minutes, and then you will appear in Dongzhimen On the street, after looking at the house number and confirming that it is Dongzhimen Street, I can find Lama Temple. I have tried two or three times, and it is the same every time.) A joyful smile bloomed on my face, like a blooming frangipani, pure and sincere. We arrived at Zhongshan 4th Road. When we saw that the library was closed, we decided to go to the nearest Guangzhou library to see my college classmates. The college classmates were still waiting for visas to go to Lyon, France, and they were waiting sadly.After seeing my classmates come out, I took out the map and decided to go to Liurong Temple and Guangxiao Temple. Guangxiao Temple is very quiet. I remembered what a friend who had recently become a Buddhist said: Buddhism is the most advanced of all religions, and modernism is not good at all (the young people in the 1980s would always talk about modernism when they talked about it).I found this topic more interesting, so I asked Zenin: Buddhism is higher or Christianity is higher?After I asked, I felt a little sorry. I felt that such a question really embarrassed the artists of our factory, which was a bit too much. Unexpectedly, Zening was blocked by the water, and said one set after another without thinking, which made me think he was very reasonable. Then he talked about the "Bible". When he was two years old, he won a prize for reciting the Bible, and he was in Shanghai at that time.His family moved from Shanghai to Guangxi when he was five years old. His father had studied in Germany and was a cardio-cerebrovascular expert. His mother graduated from Jinling Women's University. His great-grandfather's father-in-law was a first-generation missionary in China. I think these things are very strange, like some invisible ornaments, hanging on Zenin's chest and back, flashing east and west, making Zenin look as novel as a rare animal. He is really like a rare animal, which can only be produced in a colonized city like Shanghai. He won an award by reciting the Bible at the age of two. He couldn’t find a second one even if he was killed in Guangxi, and there won’t be many in the whole country. The most daring estimate would not award 100 giant pandas. There are still more than 3,000 giant pandas in the country. It can be seen that Zening is much more precious than giant pandas. When I fell in love with him later, I regarded him more as an encyclopedia. In the 1980s, I advocated knowledge and lacked interest in animals. Zenin happened to be the kind of person who read a lot of books since he was a child and knew everything about the world. What surprised me the most was when I told him I masturbated since I was five years old, he said without batting an eye: I understand, then you are such-and-such pleasure type (such-and-such pleasure is a scientific term, but it involves The hidden parts of the human body will be stimulated by some people, so it will be replaced by XX).He also said: In addition to the certain pleasure type and the certain pleasure type, what is the rate of masturbation in childhood (I can't remember it at all now). This calm attitude and precise figures completely overwhelmed me. Among my boyfriends at various stages, before and since, no one has ever achieved such a level of transparency. Most people are surprised and feel unbelievable. Really, thought it was just my figment.A few people are skeptical. The first time it happened late at night. In the middle of the night, I always look forward to something unexpected happening, conflicting like a drama, and developing like a drama. Everything came true, the rain fell from the sky, and the flowers opened their petals. One night at twelve o'clock, we drank fresh peach juice from Mingyuan Bar, and there was no sound around. Zening accompanied me to ride all the way back to the library dormitory (I hadn't moved to the film factory guest house at that time), and the bright moon went all the way. Hanging above our heads, so reaching the corridor is like entering a hole in the ground, it is dark. We walked up to the fourth floor in the dark like cats. The girl studying Japanese who lived in the same suite had already closed the door and went to sleep. The library has always had a good atmosphere of going to bed early and getting up early.At this time, everything is asleep, and I feel that turning on the lights is like dropping a bomb.I drew the curtains wide to let the full moonlight leak into the room. Moonshine is thick and has a fine texture. I let Zenin sit on my rattan chair, I sat on the edge of the bed, my face was facing the window, the moonlight and shadows floated alternately on my face, Zenin’s face was a mass of dark gray, under the dark gray There are two black spots in it, which are his eyes.In addition, the expression on his face is completely invisible. In the shadows dark gray says: Spider spider...
