Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem: The tombs in Bei Mang Mountain are high and steep, and there are many tombs in Mang Mountain, ranging from the emperor's family to the traffickers and pawns. Mang Mountain is also called Ghost Mountain, and some people even say that the underworld is under Mang Mountain.
There is also a very interesting legend about the name of Mang Mountain, which is also related to the Yellow River. It is said that a long time ago, there lived an old Taoist and his two apprentices in Kunlun Mountain.
Two of his apprentices said: "My master is going to visit friends far away. What is cooking in the pot outside this cave is a python caught from the East China Sea. You must always pay attention to the firewood under the pot. Once the fire is not strong, add more firewood."
Firewood and water should be added to the pot from time to time. Remember, don't forget it." After explaining this, the old Taoist left Kunlun Mountain.
In this way, the two disciples added water to the pot every day, one day, one month, one year, ten years. Hundreds of years passed in the blink of an eye, and the old Taoist had not come back. The two disciples were a little tired. One day, the two disciples
They discussed going down the mountain to play, so they lit a bright fire, filled the pot with water, and went down the mountain.
The two disciples originally came back after going down the mountain to play. However, when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the two disciples quickly got lost in the world of mortals and had forgotten what their master had told them.
It wasn't until some mountain people said they saw a giant python coming down from Kunlun Mountain that the two disciples remembered that there was a pot being cooked in the mountain. The two disciples rushed back to Kunlun in a panic. When they arrived at the cave, the pot was
The water in the pot has dried up, and the firewood under the pot has been extinguished.
The two disciples saw the giant python escaping from the pot and swimming towards the East China Sea. Where it passed, a yellow water channel appeared. The two disciples hurriedly chased along the yellow water channel, and the giant python discovered
After catching them, they hurriedly changed course and ran north, then turned and swam towards the East China Sea. The two disciples had to take a shortcut to chase them. However, once the giant python discovered them, it turned around and swam towards the East China Sea.
The waterway left by a giant python is today's Jiuqu Yellow River.
Besides, when the old Taoist returned to the Kunlun Mountain cave, he found that the fire under the pot had been extinguished, there was no water in the pot, the giant python had disappeared, and his two disciples had also disappeared. The old Taoist understood it as soon as he thought about it.
What happened? He cursed: "These two little beasts must have lost their patience. They went down the mountain to play and let the evil beasts escape." At that moment, the old Taoist rode a crane and chased towards the East China Sea.
Two disciples chased the giant python to the East China Sea. The giant python escaped into the East China Sea and disappeared. Seeing that it was getting dark, the two disciples were about to take a rest when an old Taoist yelled from behind: "Beasts, you two give way to the yellow python."
You have left troubles to the world, so you two should stay here forever and guard the waterways to atone for your sins."
After the old Taoist finished speaking, the two disciples turned into two mountains and stayed on both sides of the waterway forever. Later, people called the waterway that the yellow python walked through the Yellow River, and called the two mountains Zhuimang Mountain.
, later, people on the south side of the Yellow River felt that the name Zhuimang Mountain was unpleasant, so they changed its name to Mang Mountain. This name has been used to this day.
At the foot of the Shangqing Palace Mountain, there were five or six young men and women walking up the stairs to the Shangqing Palace, talking and laughing.
"Ruoxi, let's take a rest, everyone is a little tired." After climbing halfway up the stairs, two of the girls started to be unable to walk, muttering that they needed to rest, while the girl walking at the front looked at the classmates behind her.
He looked tired, shook his head, and sighed: "Look, I usually ask you to exercise more, don't sit at the computer desk all day long, you can't walk after walking so much."
"Du Hanzi, do you think everyone is the same as you? Look at Fan Weishu and Cai Nanchi. These grown men are all sweating profusely. So, it's not that our physical fitness is poor, it's that you are too
Tough."
The girl's words made the other three boys blush slightly. When Du Ruoxi heard this, she could only shake her head helplessly. She is a native of Henan. These are her college classmates. This time they have made an appointment to climb together.
On Mang Mountain, we only climbed less than half the way and rested three times.
This is not the first time for Du Ruoxi to go to the Shangqing Palace. Her home is in Luoyang City and she has been here many times. Du Ruoxi is very beautiful and is also the class beauty in the class. This time she climbed the mountain. Fan Weishu
He and Cai Nanchi heard that she was coming, so they had to follow her. Du Ruoxi knew very well what the two boys had in mind. However, Du Ruoxi had no intention of falling in love with these two boys.
Feel.
So this time, everyone went to climb the mountain together. Du Ruoxi deliberately walked in front alone because he didn't want to have too much interaction with these two boys. And Du Ruoxi walked so fast because of his own little thoughts. You
Look, you two boys can't even climb a mountain with me, but you still have the nerve to pursue me. She hopes that in this way, the two boys will quit.
Since it was not a holiday, there were not many people going up the mountain. There were only a few sporadic tourists. After Du Ruoxi and his party rested for a while, they continued on the way up the mountain.
However, when they arrived at the gate of Shangqing Palace, they found that several Taoist priests were standing at the gate, blocking tourists who wanted to enter the Taoist temple to worship.
"Ruoxi, what's going on? Isn't this Shangqing Palace still open to worship?" Seeing several Taoist priests trying to persuade tourists who wanted to enter the Taoist temple, a girl next to Du Ruoxi asked Du Ruoxi doubtfully.
"No, Shangqing Palace has always been open to the public. Let's go and ask."
Du Ruoxi walked to the door of the Taoist temple and saw Du Ruoxi and his group coming. A young Taoist priest made a gesture and said, "Several donors, this temple is not open to the public today. Please come back."
"Taoist Priest, isn't the Shangqing Palace always open to the public? Why aren't we allowed in?" A girl next to Du Ruoxi said. It took a lot of effort to get here. If we just go back like this, wouldn't we have lost so much in vain?
Sweating.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, there will be old friends coming to visit the Shangqing Palace today. All the donors should please go back. If you want to offer incense and worship, you can come back tomorrow." The young Taoist priest explained.
"Why do you have to close the temple when an old friend comes? Don't you Taoist priests insist that the four elements are all in vain? If this old friend drives away tourists, isn't it a violation of the precept?" the girl said reluctantly.
"Yuping, that's the monk you're talking about. Taoist priests don't insist on having all four elements. They can even marry a wife and have children." Fan Weishu, who was next to him, knew more about it and explained it to the side.
However, is it inappropriate to say this in front of other Taoist priests? Du Ruoxi pushed the two guys who were discussing whether Taoist priests could marry and have children behind him, with a smile on his face, he said to the young Taoist priest
:
"Taoist Master, these two classmates of mine are joking with you. Don't take it seriously. They are all outsiders. It's rare for them to go to Mangshan. If they want to go to Shangqing Palace to pay homage to Taoist ancestors, Taoist Master, just make it easier for us.
After you have finished praying, leave and make sure not to disturb the noble people in the temple."
"Donor, there is really no other way. The master personally explained that tourists are not allowed in the temple today, so you might as well invite them back." The young Taoist priest was unmoved, not at all softened by the sincere smile on Du Ruoxi's face.
"Beauty Du, your invincible smile must have worn off sometimes. Come on, there is not only one mountain in Mang Mountain, but also the Shangqing Palace. If it doesn't work, let's go to other attractions."
Du Ruoxi turned around angrily, and that was all he could do. However, just when Du Ruoxi turned around, there was a sudden sound of bells in the Shangqing Palace. Hearing the sound of the bells, the faces of the Taoist priests at the door of the Taoist temple changed drastically and they became panicked.
He ran towards the Taoist temple, not caring about Du Ruoxi and the others.
"What's going on? Why are these Taoist priests so nervous when they hear the bells? What special meaning do these bells have?" Du Ruoxi and others looked at each other, not sure why these Taoist priests became panicked.
"I know that someone is here to cause trouble. I remember that in the novels of Jin Yong and Gu Long, usually, when these Taoist and Buddhist temples suddenly ring the bell, it is because some masters are here to cause trouble."
Cai Nanchi expressed his opinion in a low voice, but everyone rolled their eyes. One of the girls laughed and said: "Cai Nanchi, you think this is ancient times. Besides, even ancient times are not as mysterious as in novels, and experts come to visit."
They are causing trouble. These Taoist priests are stupid. If someone really wants to cause trouble, call the police directly. These Taoist and Buddhist temples nowadays are very awesome and are protected by the state."
"Why are you thinking so much? We'll find out if we follow up and take a look." Another girl poked her head into the view and suggested.
"Isn't this bad? The Taoist priest has already said that the Shangqing Palace is not inviting visitors today. What if we go in without warning? What should we do if we are discovered?"
Du Ruoxi was a little hesitant, but Du Ruoxi's roommate dragged Du Ruoxi inside: "What are you afraid of? If you are discovered, you will be kicked out by them at most. Ruoxi, aren't you curious about what happened in the Shangqing Palace?"
What happened? You are the vice president of our school’s detective club, so I don’t believe you can hold back this curiosity.”
Indeed, Du Ruoxi was also very curious about what happened in the Taoist temple. Aren't these Taoists the most particular about cultivating their Qi and cultivating their nature? What could make these Taoist priests so panicked? She was really curious.
Du Ruoxi is a very curious person. When he was in school, he was a member of the school's detective agency. Because of his quick thinking, he was elected as the vice president, and the president was a doctoral student in the school.
This Ph.D. senior is an expert in the Criminal Investigation Department of the Public Security Bureau and has cracked many major cases.
Du Ruoxi and the others entered the Taoist temple, and the journey was smooth. They did not meet a Taoist priest. They continued to walk towards the temple. Before they entered the temple, they heard many Taoist priests chanting sutras. When they entered the temple gate,
But I saw a scene that I will never forget in my life.
