"The hands are like catkins, the skin is like gelatin, the collar is like a cricket grub, and the teeth are like gourds and rhinoceros. [] The head is like a moth's eyebrows, the smile is charming, and the beautiful eyes are looking forward to it." A stunning beauty, with high clouds on her temples and flying ribbons, in the
Singing softly under a clump of sweet-scented osmanthus trees. The light blue tears flowing gently on that beautiful face were drops of thousands of years of loneliness, and even more unexplainable sadness.
Looking up, I saw a cornice rising slantingly above the sparse osmanthus tree crown. In the faint mist, a pale golden plaque hung high on the lintel, with four blue inlaid in seal script.
The big characters read: Palace of Taiyin. In the distance in Guilin, a shirtless strong man is holding an axe, and he is working hard to cut wood while the sawdust is flying, and the sound of clanging can be heard endlessly.
Just when the beauty was shedding tears and feeling sad alone, she saw a jade rabbit with snow-white fur suddenly running up on the forest path paved with white jade stones. It jumped straight into the beauty's arms, raised its head and screamed repeatedly.
, seemed to be telling the master something. The beauty put away her tears, gently stroked the jade rabbit a few times, turned around and quickened her pace, walking lightly towards the palace. She turned around a high rockery and a tower with brackets and cornices.
A huge palace appeared in front of us. Just under the huge plaque of the 'Palace of Taiyin', a Taoist priest with a wind and a god of jade was pacing back and forth, looking in the direction he came from from time to time. Under the steps, a snake and a turtle were curled up.
He was lying there quietly with his huge body, and in the middle of the steps, there were two burly generals with bright armor standing on the left and right respectively. One was covered in fiery red and held a fiery red strange-shaped long sword in his hand;
The other one was dressed in black and held a simple water bucket in his hand. The two beasts kept silent and looked respectful, not looking away.
When the beauty saw the Taoist, a blush suddenly appeared on her originally melancholy face. She walked forward with a shy but joyful expression. The two giant beasts and two generals in front of the steps nodded to her one after another.
She walked up to the Taoist priest and asked: "Your Majesty, why do you have time to visit this cold moon palace today? Is there anything important to tell my little sister? I haven't seen you for a long time, and I feel a little...
Some..." His face turned red and he was speechless.
The Taoist raised his head and smiled and nodded at her, but he looked a little embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
The beauty seemed to be aware of what the Taoist was about to say, and it was the words she had been waiting for for a long time. She couldn't help but look shy, lowered her head and buried her pretty face in the long snow-white hair of the jade rabbit in her arms, and said softly:
"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it. Little sister, I...I...just follow your arrangements!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the Taoist became even more embarrassed. He rubbed his hands together and seemed a little at a loss. After hesitating for a long time, the Taoist suddenly sighed and turned around and walked into the sweet-scented osmanthus forest. The beauty didn't know why, but she looked at it.
Seeing the man's painful expression, I felt very distressed for no reason. I couldn't help but follow him closely and kept comforting him softly.
The two of them walked to a secluded place in the forest one after another. The Taoist turned around, his expression gradually calmed down, looked at the beauty and said: "Sister Zhenjun, I have come here today. There is indeed something."
I have something extremely important to say to you, but it is not what you think. I will say it later, so don’t be angry, sister."
After hearing the other party's words, the beauty was obviously extremely disappointed in her heart, and a sense of loss arose spontaneously. However, she could not bear to speak harshly to her. She just said lightly: "Your Majesty has infinite magical powers and is the emperor in charge of all the gods.
Your Majesty, I can’t think of anything else that you should discuss with me besides this matter. If you have anything to say, Your Majesty, I’m all ears, little sister.”
The Taoist sighed again, with a lonely expression, and whispered: "Sister Zhenjun, I know that you have always been sincerely affectionate towards me, but you also know that I have always treated you as a brother and sister for more than a thousand years.
Time flies by, but my brother has never gone too far towards you, do you know why?"
The beauty blushed and said: "How does this little girl know? Anyway, my heart has always been...always...sigh! Maybe it's because my qualifications are mediocre, and it's hard for me to stand in your majesty's eyes!"
The Taoist said sternly: "Sister Zhenjun, what are you talking about? Sister, you have a noble bearing and peerless grace. You can be regarded as one of the best beauties in the five worlds of heaven, earth, human, god and ghost. Then
Although Xi Shi, Wang Qiang and others in the secular world are known as the fish that sinks and the wild goose falls, and the moon is shy of the flowers, compared with Zhenjun's sister, they still lack the aura of being free from the world. Being an elder brother can win the favor of Zhenjun's sister.
, I really don’t know how many lifetimes of cultivation this blessing is. But..."
When the beauty heard the other party complimenting her beauty, she couldn't help but feel elated. For a moment, she lowered her head, her face was rosy, and her smile was as bright as a flower. When she heard the other party changed the subject, her heart sank, and she quickly raised her head and asked, "But what?"
The Taoist gritted his teeth slightly and finally said: "But maybe it's because Sister Zhenjun is so outstanding that she gives people a feeling of inaccessibility that can only be viewed from a distance but not played with, so I, brother, have always treated you
There is only the love between brother and sister, but it is difficult to create the love between man and woman."
The beauty felt pain in her heart, and asked unnaturally: "From what your Majesty said, it seems that there is someone in your heart?"
The Taoist seemed a little embarrassed, and after hesitating for a while he said: "That's right! Brother, I came here today precisely for this matter."
The beauty was angry in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface. She just asked lightly: "Since she is a woman that His Majesty can like, she is naturally extraordinary. But I don't know which woman from the spiritual family is so lucky to be able to get this woman."
Does His Majesty favor you?"
The Taoist's face turned red and he said with a smile: "Sister, you are joking! We are all outsiders, how can we value status and family like people in the world? When a man and a woman love each other, as long as they are in love with each other and are happy with each other, as for appearance and status, it is not
Secondly, does my sister know that there is a North Sea in the far north below?"
The beauty blurted out without thinking: "Princess Rubing!?"
The Taoist smiled and said: "Zhenjun's sister Bingxue is smart and she can guess right. The woman that brother mentioned is Ru Bing!"
The beauty was very angry, and finally she lowered her face and said: "Your Majesty, if the woman in your heart is better than my little sister, then I have nothing to say, but Princess Rubing is the youngest daughter of the God of the North Sea, Dapeng Mingwang.
Although King Ming's daughter, who is ninety thousand miles away, has great supernatural powers and is in charge of the water tribe in the far north and the bird tribe in the far south, she is a great god from the ancient times, but his ice-like princess is
She was born less than three thousand years ago. The younger sister heard that although she was extremely talented and practiced hard, due to racial restrictions, she was not able to transform into a human form until more than a hundred years ago. Although she already had the magical power of Zhenbei Tunan, she would not be able to transform into a human form after all.
She is just a low-level Water Goddess. Even if she is as beautiful as a flower, I don’t think she will be much better than my little sister. Your Majesty gave me up to take her. Wouldn’t it be a great insult to my little sister? How do you expect me to be a god in the future?
To gain a foothold in the world?”
It turns out that Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou" contains: "There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. When it turns into a bird, its name is Peng. The Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it has."
Li Ye. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to Nan Ming. Nan Ming is the Tianchi. Tang Wenji also said: "To the north of Qianfa is the Nether Sea."
There is a lake called Tianchi. There is a fish. It is thousands of miles wide. No one knows how to cultivate it. Its name is Kun.
And the one above is ninety thousand miles away, with no clouds and energy, carrying the blue sky, and then Tunnan, and suitable for Nanming. The Kunpeng these two people are talking about is the father of Princess Rubing as Na Li said.
Known as the Dapeng Mingwang.
In ancient times, the heaven and earth were in chaos. Yuanshi Tianzun transformed into the giant body of Pangu and opened up the world. Only then did we have the clear and bright sky today, and the muddy world. After tens of thousands of years, the violent and peaceful atmospheres remaining between heaven and earth intermingled with each other.
, two eggs were born. After more than ten thousand years of gestation by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, two divine birds emerged from their shells, one was a peacock and the other was a roc. These two divine birds have great magical powers, but they are also extremely violent. In
Traveling between heaven and earth, he was invincible. At this time, Yuanshi Tianzun was already living in the palace thirty-three days away. He ignored the affairs of the world, so no one could control him. Until the disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun
Taoist Duobao incarnated into the physical body of the Western Buddha and became a saint. He was seated in a six-foot golden body. The peacock happened to be looking for food and passed by this place, and actually swallowed the Buddha in one gulp. The Buddha was compassionate and did not want to hurt his life. He wanted to go out through his door.
, fearing that the golden body would be stained, so he cut open its back and stepped onto the Lingshan Mountain. This is because the golden body of the Buddha came from the belly of the peacock, and it has the meaning of mother and son with the peacock, and because the peacock and the Dapeng
They were brother and sister, so the Buddha used great magic power to dispel the evil energy of heaven and earth condensed on their bodies. He named Peacock as the Mother of Buddha and called Peacock Mingwang Bodhisattva; he also named Dapeng as Dapeng Mingwang because he had the plan to Zhenbei.
The magical power of the south can turn into a Kun when entering water, and become a roc in the sky. His magical power is so vast that he can control the water tribe and the bird tribe in the two desolate and barren lands in the extreme north and south. And the ice-like princess in Li's mouth is none other than King Dapeng Ming.
The youngest daughter is just over 3,100 years old at this time, and has only been able to transform into human form for less than 200 years. Although she has magical powers, her skills are still shallow. As the beauty said, she can only be regarded as a low-level water god.
When the Taoist heard what the beauty said, he looked a little unhappy, and said calmly: "What the real king said is wrong! I just said that between men and women, what matters is the harmony of love, mutual happiness, and harmony with God.
What does it matter whether you have high or low status, or whether you are beautiful or ugly? These superficial talks are the obsessions of secular and ignorant people. Although my brother is shallow, he has already been exposed to these things. Besides, my brother is here this time.
I came here not to listen to your comments about Ru Bing, but because we are brothers and sisters, I had better not inform you when I am about to get married. Having said this, I will say goodbye as a brother!" After that!
Turned around to leave.
The beauty said calmly: "Your Majesty, wait a minute! My little sister knows that Your Majesty, you control a god, you are aloof, you always get what you want, and you do everything according to your own will. But do you still remember how you and I got together in the first place?"
The Taoist was shocked, turned around and said: "Of course I remember. That's why I came here to explain the reason to Zhenjun's sister, in the hope that I can go with my sister to explain the reason to the chess player thirty-three days away and resolve the dispute between us.
I hope my sister will make this marriage come true!" After saying that, he bowed his head deeply to the beauty.
The beauty smiled coldly and said: "Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want, but my little sister has no such courage. Besides, my little sister mistakenly took the elixir and became an immortal and ascended. And my husband in the earthly world angered the gods, and finally ended up like this.
His flesh and blood turned to ashes, and he became a ghost spirit of the Wumen. From then on, he and his little sister were separated from each other, and could not see each other. As a result, the little sister was lonely in the Taiyin Palace for thousands of years, and it was difficult to escape. As the saying goes, "the heart of the blue sea and blue sky every night", this
Who can understand the loneliness of a thousand years? Fortunately, God is merciful, and the chess player took pity on my loneliness, and deliberately brought together a marriage between you and me. Although you and I are still not married, a thousand years have passed in a blink of an eye.
Who doesn't know about you and me? Now you are willing to leave me and find a new love despite a thousand years of love, and now you want me to go with you to explain the reason to the chess player! Then let me ask you, even if
My little sister is willing to go, so how should I phrase this?"
The Taoist was at a loss for words. He pondered for a long time and then said: "Sister Zhenjun, as a brother, I am not a heartless person. I also know that your life experience is bleak, so don't you have compassion? But this kind of compassion is not comparable to the love between men and women. Since you and I
If we are not destined to be husband and wife, then why not be a pair of opposite-sex confidants? If my sister can make this marriage between me and Ru Bing happen, I will be deeply grateful to my brother!"
The beauty felt that everything was burning inside her. She was so angry that she couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "Your Majesty is going to ask for help. You can go by yourself. If you want me to go with you, don't even think about it! If you are not afraid of angering the chess player,
, just go ahead and marry that Princess Rubing! My little sister will never stop you!"
After saying that, he walked away and walked straight into the gate of the shrine. He closed the door without leaving, tears streaming down his face.
The Taoist wandered outside the door for a long time, and when he saw that the beauty still refused to go out, he reluctantly stepped on the top of the snake and turtle's heads at the bottom of the steps, where the colorful clouds were, and took the two god generals, one red and one black, into the sky.
The beauty watched the man go away gradually from the palace gate. She felt as if her heart was suddenly hollowed out, and her heart was as sharp as a knife. She couldn't help but put down the jade rabbit in her arms, went out and beckoned for a nine-color phoenix to leap forward.
With falling feathers flying up my back, I chased in the direction where the man had gone. I saw stars in the sky and sparse clouds rolling in, but there was no trace of that man anywhere?
The strong wind blows in the sky, and the stars in the sky are bright and gorgeous. A dancing phoenix, a lonely flying fairy who has experienced thousands of years of loneliness, slowly sheds drops of light blue tears of sadness and scatters them with the wind.
