Volume 1 Rooting Panlong Chapter 001 Panlong Mountain
Panlong Immortal Mountain is located in the depths of the great northwest, but there is not the slightest smell of loess here.
There are three buildings at the head of Panlong Immortal Mountain, namely the Taoist Temple, the Buddhist Temple and the Tai Temple.
The word "Fulong" is written on the plaque of the temple.
The word "Suspicious Dragon" is written on the plaque on the door of the Buddhist temple.
The word "Shaking Dragon" is written on the plaque of the Taoist temple.
The three buildings have become a peak of their own, gathering together in Xianshan, each occupying a corner.
In addition, a large stage is encircled in the center of the three buildings.
This self-contained complex is a well-designed complex that is known at first glance, and there is no doubt that there is a real dragon here!
It is also a coincidence that Zhang Weidao was born at the foot of Panlong Mountain.
Zhang Yidao's first contact with compulsory education was on Panlong Mountain, and Panlong Mountain Primary School was in the Taimiao.
Panlong Mountain will hold a celebration ceremony on the Dragon Boat Festival every year, and will also invite the troupe to sing a big opera, which has been an old tradition for many years.
The flowing Qinxiang troupe is iron-beaten Panlong Mountain.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, the stage of Panlong Mountain, as in previous years, staged a lively Qin opera.
The archway, pavilion, cloister, wall and stage carved beams and paintings of the Panlong Mountain stage, the momentum is seizing, and the fun is full of fun.
As in previous years, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, a blessing drama was sung on Panlong Mountain.
On the stage, an executioner figure dressed in red came out.
With a saber in his hand, he cleanly cut off the head of a live rooster, blood splattered on the spot, and then the pear orchard team played vocal music.
"Oops, yes", only heard his voice and did not see his person.
On the stage, a character dressed as a celestial official appeared on the stage, he wore a full head, a big red python robe, and held a court wat in his hand.
After taking the stage, the heavenly official sang: "As soon as the sun shines on the states, the south gate of heaven is above the nine dragon heads." The Taiji diagram is divided into gossip, and I should hold the wishful hook. I sit in the heavenly palace on the ninth floor, and I am often in front of the Jade Emperor Treasure Palace. If the people of the world know that the shade is full, the blessings of the heavenly officials will come to the earth. ”
He then sang: "Hmm! I am the Emperor Ziwei of the Middle Palace of the Heavenly Officials above! As soon as I went out of the Nantianmen and saw the Panlong Immortal Mountain, the people of all directions felt the great kindness of the Queen Mother and held a grand temple fair. The God of Wealth of Flower Arrangement, the Black Tiger Xuantan, Zhao Tianguan, the Nether Realm, the Panlong Immortal Mountain, blessed him, drove the auspicious clouds, and moved the Black Tiger on my behalf!"
Zhang Yidao is still young and doesn't understand this, but he is very curious.
So, Zhang Lidao's grandfather told him in detail about the origin of the Panlong Mountain blessing drama.
It turns out that the Blessing Divine Opera is not sung for people, it is sung for all kinds of gods.
The purpose of singing the divine opera is to pray for the blessings of the local area, to pray for a favorable time and place, and to pray for a good wind and rain.
The inspection on behalf of the heavens is the highlight of the blessing drama, and the content of the performance must be in accordance with the immortal train of the heavenly palace, and it must be reasonable and evidence-based, and cannot be fabricated out of thin air.
The actors who sing the opera on stage are generally experienced old Liyuan children, and the latecomers who have just sung the opera not long ago dare not let them sing the opera on stage.
The flowing Qinqiang Troupe beats the iron Panlong Mountain, there are always exceptions to everything, and this accident happened when Zhang Yidao was ten years old.
It's still on Panlong Mountain during the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Panlong Mountain Temple Fair invited a foreign troupe, they came to Panlong Mountain to perform for the first time, and they were not familiar with some of the rules of the blessing god opera.
In view of the fact that it was the first time for them to perform in Panlong Mountain, the fifth master specially found the person in charge of the troupe before the start of the opera, and explained to the person in charge of the troupe the matters that need special attention to be paid to the blessing of the opera.
The fifth master is the head of Panlong Mountain, and he is usually responsible for managing all matters on Panlong Mountain.
The fifth master is the fifth in the family, and their own family is very senior, so everyone calls him 'fifth master'.
I thought that the person in charge of the troupe was an old man, even if there was no instruction from the fifth master, they would take the blessing drama seriously, but I didn't expect that something would go wrong when it came.
The celestial official actor of this prayer drama is a young man, and it is the first time for a young man to sing a divine opera.
He hurriedly went on stage, but he didn't remember all the lines, the key was that the singing voice was weak, and the whole singing voice and the accompanying vocal music couldn't match it at all.
The people watching the play in the audience only heard the drumbeat, erhu sound, and pipa sound of the vocal group, but they couldn't hear the voice of the young man.
For a moment, the people watching the play saw the young man standing in place, motionless.
The person in charge of the troupe also found a problem at this time and called him next to him, but Xiao Young didn't react at all.
It's an accident!
Zhang Yidao's grandfather explained to Zhang Yidao: "This is the heavenly official enshrined in Panlong Mountain, who can't listen to it, and wants to punish and punish this young man who sings divine opera." ”
The person in charge of the troupe saw that it was about to be cold, so he had to change himself to the stage, he asked the people of the troupe to pull the curtain, put on a Tianguan python robe and painted makeup backstage.
When the person in charge of the troupe packed up and took the stage, the young man was still standing in place, as if he was dead, and he couldn't move it, and the person in charge of the troupe found a few people to carry the young man together, but he still didn't move. His feet seemed to be glued to the stage!
The head of the troupe, who had nothing to do, had to find the fifth master and beg him for help.
The fifth master, who has been dealing with gods all the year round, naturally knows what is going on, and it must be that the young man who plays the role of the heavenly official has provoked the real heavenly official.
This young man sings sparsely, his tone is weak, he has no momentum of a celestial official, and he is even more disrespectful to the blessing drama!
Why is the Heavenly Official of the First Rank above disrespectful?
Because Xiao Young had sex the night before singing the divine opera, he committed a big taboo.
The fifth master didn't care about anything else, so he dragged the person in charge of the troupe to the Tianguan Palace to ask for guilt.
If you want to save the young people on the stage, the only way is to ask for the guilt of the first rank heavenly official enshrined in the dragon temple.
The fifth master prepared a yellow table of nine lines, a pot of tea, and a mention of fragrant wine.
Then he wrote a prayer document, which was written in small letters, which probably meant to pray for sins and forgive the frivolity of the young man.
The fifth master first bowed three times and bowed nine times, took a step to make a move, and took a step to burn a yellow table.
Walk to the front of the Tianguan Palace.
The fifth master lit the yellow wax secretly made with bees, lit three sticks of rosin, sprinkled some tea, and worshiped a few taels of fragrant wine.
At this time, the head of the troupe knelt in front of the statue of Tianguan, the fifth master knelt to the left of the person in charge, and the other main male members of the troupe knelt behind the person in charge.
Why are all men on their knees?
Because women are not allowed to enter the palace of heavenly officials.
The fifth master solemnly read out the prayer document, burned the paperwork, and quietly waited for the next instruction of the heavenly official.
Time seemed to stand still, and no one in the audience dared to speak.
Everyone saw that the rosin was about to burn out, and the young man on the stage suddenly let out an 'ah', fell to the ground with a bang, and fell asleep.
The fifth master breathed a sigh of relief and said to the person in charge of the troupe: "The heavenly official has spoken, and the young man on the stage has finally been saved." ”
Outside of Liuhe, those who are not human will not be provoked.
-------------------------------------
Not long after this incident, a Taoist priest from Panlong Mountain came to the Dragon Temple.
The full name of this traveling Taoist priest is called 'Li Quanyi', and he comes from Kongtong.
Li Quanyi lives in a small house in the Dragon Shake Temple, and has little contact with the outside world.
When Zhang Yidao and his classmates were studying in the morning at Fulong Temple, Li Quanyi would meditate cross-legged in the back mountain.
The elderly people all said that Li Quanyi was cultivating, and he was naturally the good wind and water of Panlong Mountain.
It was also a Dragon Boat Festival, Panlongshan was singing and celebrating the religion as usual, and Zhang Yidao's school was on holiday.
This Dragon Boat Festival has a clear sky, Zhang Yidao mixed in the crowd watching the play, and I remember clearly that it was the classic Qin drama "The Case of Quanmei" staged at that time.
"Ahh......h Saying that your horse is here, I will not spare the dragon son and dragon grandson, hit him with a black gauze hat on his head, and take off the python dragon robe on his body, and you will tie up the offender. ”
On the stage, Bao Zheng, who was dressed in a python dragon robe, was going to court with the concubine Chen Shimei.
Suddenly, hailstones the size of eggs fell from the sky, and they were all in one piece.
However, one thing is very strange, the hail only falls within the dragon head of Panlong Mountain, and the rest of the place is still clear sky.
Seeing the hail the size of an egg hitting Zhang Yidao's head, Zhang Weidao's grandfather slipped into the main hall of the Dragon Shaking Temple with Zhang Weidao, and the others were not so lucky.
After entering, I saw the Queen Mother of Yaochi on the throne looking down on all living beings, and the hall was brightly lit and fragrant.
On the offering table is full of tribute, tea, rosin, famous candles, etc., and the offering table stands on the left and right of the magic dragon.
The hail outside the hall does not stop, and the inside of the theater is a piece of white flowers, and there are some slippery feet when walking in the courtyard.
If the hail keeps falling like this, it will definitely cause too much water, and this Dragon Boat Festival will inevitably be in the soup.
Everyone was helpless, all they could do was not let the hail hit them.
At a critical time, Li Quanyi, a Taoist priest from Youfang, appeared.
Li Quanyi first asked the fifth master to go to the four corners of the right pavilion of the Taoist temple to ring the bell.
The two partial pavilions of the Dragon Shaking Temple are respectively hung with wind and rain drums and wind and rain bells, and the bells and drums are the medium of communication with the heavens.
Beating the drum is to seek the wind and rain, and ringing the bell is to stop the wind and rain.
The silence of Panlong Mountain was broken by the heavy sound of the bell, and the bells rang a total of nine times.
After the fifth master rang the bell, Li Quanyi and the fifth master went to the main hall dedicated to the queen mother, they wanted to occupy a hexagram, and the content of the divination was naturally related to the non-stop hail.
The fifth master and Li Quanyi and others reverently knelt in front of the throne of the queen mother, and the fifth master explained the reason in a straight voice, and wanted the queen mother to tell everyone the reason for the hail through the hexagram.
After the fifth master finished speaking, Li Quanyi took out the tools for divination.
Li Quanyi's divination tools are eight faces, and each side is written with a hexagram, which are Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun.
Li Quan put on three sticks of incense and shook the divination tool.
The hexagram face falls on the 'Xun' hexagram.
The hexagram says: 'Xunfeng thousands of miles, endless'.
It's all because of Xun, it's all love.
After Li Quan saw the hexagram, he said: "Today's "Quanmei Case" is too sad, infecting all the immortals in the palace, tears and hail do not stop!"
Li Quanyi told everyone not to worry, he wanted to write a document to explain the situation to the immortals.
The prayer written on purple paper is completed.
The people bowed three times and bowed nine times.
Ring the bell.
Ringing bowls.
Burn rosin.
Reciting papers.
Prostrate again.
After doing this, Li Quan picked up an apricot yellow flag with a soaring dragon and took a special step in the courtyard.
Li Quan walked a total of nine steps, and burned nine yellow tables at the same time.
When Li Quan finished doing this, something amazing happened, the hail didn't fall!
The dragon head of Panlong Mountain instantly returned to the clear sky.
Zhang Yidao's grandfather said that Li Quanyi is a master in the world, and he is not known how many times more powerful than Zhang Yidao's own grandfather!
Zhang Yidao nodded, he also felt that Li Quanyi was better than his grandfather.
