Unexpectedly, when he was about to turn around, he found that his sleeves were tied to the branches of a palm tree next to the plum blossom tree. They were entangled in the drizzle, as if they were sentient beings that were reluctant to part with him.【】
Only then did the prince discover that on one side of the trunk of the palm tree, whether broken by the mountain wind or climbed by wild animals, there was a wound on a broken branch that was slowly oozing sap. The palm tree and the wintersweet lived next to each other.
, leaning against each other, with the breeze blowing, just like a couple.
Seeing this scene, the prince's heart suddenly felt a little pain, and two beautiful flower-like dimples suddenly appeared between the two plants in front of him. The prince was shocked, fearing that the inner demon would revive, and quickly shook his head to remove this sudden invasion.
The distracting thoughts from the past are driven away from the mind, and the mind becomes strong again.
However, when he saw the close relationship between the palm tree and the plum tree, and then looked at the wound on the trunk of the palm tree that was leaking sap, he couldn't help but feel that something had hurt its kind. Thinking that he was the same as those two worldly confidantes,
Just like the two trees in front of me, one is tender and affectionate, and the other is severing the love with a sword. Even if they finally have no choice but to separate, the bleeding wound in the heart is always difficult to heal. Every lonely night with pleasant wind and moon, that
This deep-seated pain is indescribable to outsiders.
At this time, the prince already regarded the trees as the incarnations of himself, Yue Shang and Feng Yi. He couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the trunk of the plum blossom tree, his heart full of tenderness. But suddenly he felt a slight pain in his fingertips, and his hand tightened.
It's an area in his arms. I think the prince's body is full of real energy at this time, and his every move is extremely powerful. How can this small plum blossom tree withstand his casual tugging? It's just because of a small one on the trunk.
The sharp thorn accidentally pricked the prince's finger, and he pulled it off by the root and got up.
The prince was stunned, and then he realized that he had accidentally broken this innocent wintersweet. He quickly lifted it up and took a closer look, but saw that the juice was slightly oozing out from the broken area, as if he was weeping for the sudden loss of life.
Originally, the prince had already regarded this plum blossom as the incarnation of Yue Shang or Feng Yi. At this moment, he naturally loved and protected it. As soon as he saw that he had made a big mistake unintentionally, he felt regret in his heart.
They came swarming like an overwhelming force.
The emotional gate hidden deep in his heart could no longer be controlled, and smoke-like past events kept coming. Yueshang's eternal smile wrapped in crystal in the secret room at the bottom of the Mirror Moon Lake came first suddenly, and then came that stunning scene.
But it is also filled with the endless sadness of life and death, the dance of the full moon, Cain's figure that resembles his mother walking away alone, and Fengyi's deep sadness hidden under the flower-like smile on the bank of the Han River, all of which are like
Acupuncture cuts across the bottom of his heart, leaving a trail of blood.
The broken wintersweet in front of me looked so pitiful. In the drizzle and breeze, it seemed to be moaning silently. The pain in the prince's heart was as dense as the autumn rain in front of him, and it was always difficult to stop. He thought in his heart
Dianzhuo, thinking about the remedy.
At this moment, the prince's eyes suddenly passed over the wounds on the two tree trunks. He suddenly had an idea and thought to himself that since he had made a big mistake, it would not help to feel sorry for himself here. It would be better to break and stand again.
Intertwining two similarly injured small trees so that their wounds are interdependent may be a best-of-both-worlds strategy. In this way, not only will the plum tree be able to continue its life, but it will also be able to connect with the palm tree next to it.
Becoming one, relieves them of the trouble of being unable to understand each other even though they are close at hand.
In fact, the prince's thoughts like this are just trying to save others by himself, transferring the grievances and resentments between himself, Yueshang and Fengyi to the two trees in front of him. Deep in his consciousness, he is actually hoping that he can do it all the time.
Success as soon as possible, take this hard-to-heal wound in your body and mind, go to another world, join two other people who are also injured, and heal each other.
Under this subconscious impulse, the prince couldn't restrain his inner impulse. He raised his finger and wiped a drop of blood from his fingertip on the wound on the trunk of the palm tree. Then he held up the plum blossom tree and connected the two fractures.
That's right, I pushed it in hard.
The prince was very strong, so he just inserted it gently, and the plum blossom tree immediately inserted a few inches into the trunk of the palm tree. Then the prince tore off a pair of sleeves, tightly wrapped them around the joint between the two trees, and fixed them briefly.
The grafting work of ancient times has been completed.
After he finished all this, he clapped his hands and stood there for a while admiring his work. Then he raised his eyes to the sky and silently prayed in his heart: "The sky is above, and the earth is below. I want to shine on the moon in the east, and I have worked so hard to achieve this goal."
The people of the world are in peace and are willing to give up the throne of a country. They come from a prosperous place respected by thousands of people to this lonely mountain forest where no one has ever lived. They are determined to practice Taoism and walk with difficulty. Although there are setbacks, they will not change their minds in the end. This tree
A ray of blood from Zhaoyue Donggang is stored in the thing that the plum blossom tree and the plum blossom tree depend on each other. If it can survive, it will be named Langmei. From then on, I, Zhaoyue Donggang, will share the same mountain with it, sharing weal and woe, and together.
Cultivation. If Tong Guang can succeed in practicing Taoism in the future, then I will let it blossom and bear fruit, so that it can cure diseases and save people, and add a good medicine to cure suffering for the people of the world. If you have this heart, heaven and earth can learn from it!"
After saying this, the prince lifted his clothes and knelt down under the plum tree, and kowtowed devoutly to the vast world and the majestic mountains.
From then on, a new species appeared in Taihe Mountain, which is also known as Wudang Mountain in the future. This tree is called Langmei. This tree has plum fruit, a peach core and an apricot shape. It tastes sour and sweet, and can cure various diseases. However, it has
It is very rare. Moreover, this tree can bear fruit in good years, but not in famine years, which is even more strange. In the spring of the 11th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the plum blossoms were in bloom, with a red and white color, a faint fragrance and sparse shadows, which could be smelled from far and near.
See, in May, the fruits are grown, with pearls scattered and emeralds intertwining, and branches full of countless trees. The clouds reflect the sun, and the colors are gorgeous. The viewers are all amazed. And this year, the weather is good and the grain is plentiful.
If food and clothing are abundant, food and clothing are sufficient, no items are picked up on the road, and households are not closed at night, the world will be in great order. This is a topic for later, so I won’t mention it for now.
However, it was said that after the prince finished praying under the plum tree, he no longer stayed. He immediately stood up, left the palm forest and the plum trees planted by himself, and continued to head up the mountain. The black tiger behind him seemed to be relieved when he saw this.
It seemed that he was also glad that the prince could finally come out of the shadows and return to the right path.
In fact, it didn't know that the prince's troubles were not unintentional, but that he was using the bodies of these two injured trees to express his obsession, so as to cut off the worldly fate and make his heart feel better for those on the mountain.
The guilt of the relatives who are hanging outside and the two confidants who made sacrifices for their own ideals can be vented, so that they can get a little comfort in their hearts. And this is actually another form of Taoism's so-called killing of three corpses.
, it's just because the prince's moral conduct is not enough at this time, it is just a form without substance. But even so, his move gave him an excuse and reason to persist, and because of this, in the following thousands of years
Here, the Wudang Mountain plum tree has become a unique symbol for Emperor Zhenwu and even Wudang Taoist culture. It continues to this day and has won the worship of countless faithful men and women.
In later generations, a Taoist monk named Yuxi once wrote a poem praising: "
When Gao Zhen was studying Taoism and hiding in the mountains, he personally cut off plum branches and sent them to him.
When you have completed your actions, you should be promoted, and when flowers bloom, you will test the prophet.
The immortals protect the environment and all evils are far away, and the holy fruit has a name that will hang down forever.
Taking bait will prolong life and eliminate chronic diseases, and sincerely pray for blessings to accompany you.【】
