Chapter 161: Wu Gang Kills Gui
"I don't know why, this story of Wu Gang's killing of Gui is always familiar to us when we were children...... But today, it seems that there is always a different feeling. ”
Ye Tian said in a deep voice, Wang Baocai had also heard about the laurel tree in that space, so he was also very surprised by this.
Everything seems to be connected, and their current encounters and experiences seem to be predestined, as if they have already had a result in advance.
Li Fei couldn't understand the seal script, so he scratched his head: "Brother, why don't you read this version of the story, the two of us...... To be honest, I don't understand it at all. ”
Ye Tian nodded, opened his mouth and read:
"Once upon a time, another town was called Xianning. In this place, there was a plague, and people used all kinds of home remedies to no avail.
In ancient times, there was no medical technology like now, and people could only try with various remedies they had made up by themselves, but no matter how they tried, it was to no avail, and the plague eventually expanded to a bigger and bigger place, and the whole town was infected, and the people were crying out and unable to survive.
At the foot of the mountain, a brave and filial young man named Wu Gang appeared.
His mother was also bedridden with illness, and the young man went up to the mountain every day to collect medicine to save his mother. One day, when Guanyin returned from his journey to the east, he happened to pass by and saw the young man collecting medicine on the cliff, and he was deeply moved. At night, in a dream, he told him that there was a tree called Muxi in the Moon Palace, also called Osmanthus. Soaking the small golden flowers on the tree and drinking it can cure this plague - there is a ladder on Guibang Mountain to August 15 to enter the Moon Palace to pick and hang.
This night is exactly August 12, and there are three days left for the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15. ”
"Time waits for no one, after August 15, I missed the annual flowering period of osmanthus, and I have to wait for another year. But to go up to the top of the mountain to cross seven deep streams, on the seven cliffs hanging rocks, it takes at least seven days and seven nights. After making up his mind, Wu Gang went through a lot of hardships, and finally climbed to the top of Guibang Mountain on the night of August 15 and caught up with the ladder leading to the Moon Palace. Wu Gang followed the fragrance to the osmanthus tree, and was very happy to see the golden osmanthus on the tree. He picked and picked desperately, always wanting to pick a little more to save his mother and save his fellow villagers.
But he couldn't hold it if he picked too much, so he thought of a way. He shook the osmanthus tree, causing the osmanthus to fall one after another and fall into the river under the mountain of Jiaobang. Suddenly, the surface of the river was fragrant, and the water was dyed golden yellow. The people drank the water of the river, and all the plagues were cured
。 This night is the 15th August gathering of the gods of the Heavenly Palace, and they will enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes at the meeting. At this time, the fragrance of osmanthus rushed to the sky, alarming the gods, so they sent a mission to investigate. When the messenger went to the Moon Palace, he saw that all the osmanthus flowers on the Osmanthus Tree, the sacred tree of the Moon Palace, were gone, and they all fell into the world, so he reported it to the Jade Emperor.
When the Jade Emperor heard this, he was furious, and he sent heavenly soldiers and generals to arrest Wu Gang.
After Wu Gang was arrested, he told the Jade Emperor everything that happened that night.
Because the affairs of the world seemed to have something to do with the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor had no choice, on the contrary, he still admired Wu Gang, a young man.
Courage, strength.
But Wu Gang has violated the rules of heaven after all, and he must be punished.
The Jade Emperor first asked Wu Gang what he wanted, and Wu Gang said that he wanted to bring the osmanthus tree to the world to help the suffering. So the Jade Emperor came up with an idea, which could not only punish Wu Gang, but also agree to Wu Gang's request. He said that as long as you cut down the osmanthus flowers, you can bring the planning tree to the world.
