Volume 1 of "Xueqin Secret Records":
I watched the stars for a while and saw Wen Qu and Po Jun shining together in the southeast. I knew that a hundred years later, two people would inherit my legacy. A man with a constitution in his hand can tell the secrets of heaven and earth through storytelling; a man with a weighing instrument in his hand can measure the world and people's hearts with a ruler.
On the day when these two sons meet, pear petals will fall from the sky. The book holder hides this book in his sleeve, and the sword holder carries the ambition to mend the sky. However, the writing in the book will turn into butterflies, and the cold light on the sword will turn into flowing fireflies. At this time, there is purple air coming from the southeast and coming from the west, and black clouds appear from the northwest covering the city.
I now use blood as ink to predict three things:
First, the storyteller will lose his voice for three days, and then he will realize the wordless heavenly book;
Secondly, the ruler measuring the sky will eventually be broken into seven pieces, and each piece will turn into the seven stars of the Big Dipper;
Third, when the two of them read this volume together, the ink marks gradually disappeared, leaving only the claws of snow and mud.
Future generations of boys should remember: To understand the broken dream of Red Mansions, you must first see through the mirror and the flowers in the water. The real chapter can only be seen when the white sea pepper is withered, and it can only be perfected after the Taixu realm is broken. Now burn this prophecy in front of the Buddha, and a hundred years later it will appear in the lantern in the storytelling field.
