Ding Li suddenly had a thought. What did Xu Zhuohao mean by saying these things? What kind of dragon? Smith? What does it have to do with me? This guy doesn't know how to be mysterious?
"By the way, have you heard of Zhuling Temple?" Ding Li couldn't help but ask. Driving was so boring. Ding Li had nothing to say.
"Zhuling Temple?" Xu Zhuohao was a little confused. There are so many Taoist temples in China, who knows about Zhuling Temple?
"Has it been mentioned in Journey to the West about Sun Wukong? Taoist Zhuling? It seems that he is also here in Hunan..."
Zhu Ling Guan, Zhu Ling Taoist? Is it related to Sun Wukong? What a mess. Xu Zhuohao is a little confused this time.
"Taoist Zhuling rides a green dragon, and the sword in his sleeves is filled with rainbows. The strangest thing is that he can't rest for a while. He meets Wukong in Hengyue." Ding Li has no good intentions. He is looking at Xu Zhuohao with his eyes closed and he doesn't know what to think about. He deliberately wants to seduce
The smarter he is, the more suspicious he is and the more things he thinks about. He is about to tell a story about gods and ghosts to disturb Xu Zhuohao's thinking and make this guy suspicious.
Who knew that Xu Zhuohao suddenly clapped his hands and sighed: "I know, it turns out that it is like this..."
What he said was incomprehensible, and Ding Li was stunned when he heard it. He originally wanted to dig a hole for Xu Zhuohao, and tell him a story about corpses and immortals to make him feel suspicious. How could he know that this guy seemed to really know something?
"The western plain of Hengyue Mountain is near the Zhuling Cave. It is a dangerous place with big trees and ferocious beasts. People are likely to get lost or encounter giant snakes and are not allowed to enter... During the Changqing Festival, there was a Toutuo Wukong who tried to wrap up grains and carry tin, and went into the mountains and forests at night.
The more tigers invaded, I went to Zhulingyuan without fear at first and spent many days sightseeing...Suddenly I saw a Taoist priest sitting on the front rock, sitting on a rope bed. The monk looked at it and did not move..."
Xu Zhuohao's memory is really good and his knowledge is profound. He actually memorized a long passage of ancient Chinese prose! Ding Li, the book scholar, also had to admire it.
Hunan Hengyue, the mountains are steep and the trees are dense. As for this, it is often difficult to get lost, or encounter giant snakes and beasts, and you are not allowed to go forward. During the Changqing period of Emperor Mu Zong of the Tang Dynasty, there was a temple nearby. In the temple, there was a Tuotuo named Wukong. He liked to go out into the wild to find the quiet places. He was a backpacker.
The guest once went into the Hengyue Mountains at night, fighting snakes and tigers without fear, leaving footprints everywhere with the vines attached to the creek.
Later we arrived at a place called Zhulingyuan. The mountain was steep, but the scenery became more and more beautiful. At this time, Wukong had been traveling for several days and his feet were aching. He had finished eating the food in his bag and felt hungry, so he rested under a rock.
He said to himself: "After all, we have entered the depths of the wilderness, and there is not a single house left."
While Wukong was talking, he suddenly saw a Taoist priest not far from the rock, among the lush flowers and trees, sitting on a rope bed similar to a chair meditating. Wukong was overjoyed and came forward to worship him, but the Taoist priest ignored him. The former told him
Hungry in his belly, he asked if he had any fast food. Then the Taoist opened his eyes slightly and pointed to the stone slab on the ground: "There is some rice here, you can use it for cooking." After saying this, the Taoist got off the rope bed, stretched his hand into the air, and touched
He brought an iron hoe, tapped the stone slab, penetrated a few inches, and knocked a small hole, asking Wukong to stretch out his hand to explore. The latter was puzzled and put his finger into the hole, only to feel that there seemed to be no bottom below. He grabbed a handful and found a rice.
When it was more than enough, the Taoist priest set up a pot with cooking utensils to cook the rice. After a while, he told Wukong that it was ready to eat. The latter took the rice and ate it, but before finishing one bite, he vomited it out because the rice was not yet cooked. The Taoist priest smiled and said: "
Although you don’t want to eat anymore, you can still eat less and get more. Let’s see if I finish the rest.” Then he opened his mouth wide and ate more than a liter of half-cooked rice. Of course, there was nothing surprising about this.
Later, the Taoist priest asked Wukong why he went deep into the secluded realm. The latter replied that there was nothing wrong with him. He just loved backpacking and said, "This place is deserted. Why are you meditating here alone? It's really strange."
The Taoist priest laughed but did not answer
Wukong asked again: "Are you an expert?"
The Taoist priest said: "I'm going to play a little game, and you can watch it." After that, the Taoist priest jumped up to a big tree and swayed on the branches, as if he were sitting on a swing. For a while, he was like drifting clouds, and for a while, he was drifting away like flying stones.
, also like an ape or a bird, its movements are light and agile, which makes Wukong amazed...
Then, the Taoist priest came down from the tree and circled around the rope bed again, faster and faster. Gradually, the Taoist robes appeared in seven colors. Wukong was dazzled. After a while, the Taoist priest turned around without a trace. Wukong was shocked and touched it.
Wukong really met a strange person in the mountains. He thought about it all the way back to the temple. After a few days, he didn't feel hungry. Wukong thought: Is it because he ate the uncooked rice given by the Taoist priest?
"This is a story recorded in the legends of the Tang Dynasty. I guess this is what you are talking about."
Ding Liyiqi: "So, I thought it was Sun Wukong, but it turned out to be a Tutu named Wukong."
"Maybe this Wukong is the Sun Wukong," Xu Zhuohao said with a laugh: "You have to know that before Wu Cheng'en wrote "Journey to the West" in the Ming Dynasty, he read through the notes of the previous dynasty's legends and monsters. Maybe he created it after reading this story.
Comes from Sun Wukong"
Ding Li shrugged. Unless he went hundreds of years ago to ask Wu Chengen himself, no one would know. Originally, Ding Li wanted to talk about the corpse and the immortal. At this time, he lost interest and just thought about the bell.
Is the unlucky guy inside who is struck by lightning the same one that Wukong met?
Looking at the strangest sentence, "I can't stop for a while, I met Wukong in Hengyue." It seems that Wukong has been obsessed with Taoist Zhuling since then. Maybe it was just like this that Taoist Zhuling moved his Taoist temple.
He was fascinated by the grace of the Taoist seniors when he saw that Xu Zhuohao seemed to be talking about sex and began to talk endlessly about the Feng Shui in Hunan.
Hunan occupies an absolutely important position in the modern history of China. In terms of geography, it is as follows: blocking the river in the north, thin five ridges in the south, bordering Guizhou and Shu in the west, surrounded by a large number of seedlings, and surrounded by four forts, with little other water.
However, there are many mountains, mountains and ridges, steep rivers and steep rivers, and it is difficult for boats and vehicles to travel. The rocky and ocher soil is hard, the geology is hard, and the people's nature is mostly stubborn, and it is blocked by old customs...
But it happened that in a place like this, the so-called "China will perish unless all the people of Hunan die" slogan was shouted at that time. Heroes appeared in large numbers and heroes such as Zeng Zuo, Peng Hu, and even the founder of the country, Taizu, and a large group of people.
Heroes such as Liu, Peng, Ren, He, Luo, and other generals, as well as earlier ones such as Wei Yuan, Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, Cai E, Tan Sitong, etc., all had a huge impact on modern Chinese history.
This is also a phenomenon where the Dragon Vein moved southward and hidden deep in the sea. It was a pity that the Dragon Vein continued to move southward and entered the sea. Now, the Sea Dragon is the only one that flourishes. Instead, it is the Central Plains where China emerged. The earth's energy is depleted and the Dragon Vein is latent. It is indeed in a state of stagnation.
