Section 295 Legends

While we walked happily, we looked at the strange mountains and beautiful stones, which was really unforgettable.

The fascinate heavenly fairyland, the picturesque, singing and crying Yellow Mountain. Hu Jiaojiao was stunned to look at these strange shapes, strange shapes, strange and strange stones, and the strange peaks and strange stones of the Yellow Mountain, and said with praise: "It's really better to see than to hear, these stones are really beautiful, too shocking." You see, this stone statue is not like a stone man sitting on a rock, and there is a giant stone frog underneath, which is so similar and interesting. Zeng Lu was also full of praise and said: "Yes, the observation of the delicate girl is really good, the more she looks like it." The well-informed Wang Gongzi said disapprovingly: "This two stones constitute a scene, which is the legendary Liu Hai playing the golden toad: legend, Liu Hai is a native of Mengcheng, Huaibei, one day is drawing water from the well to water vegetables, suddenly a frog jumped out of the well, lying at his feet and crying. He immediately understood in his heart, so he hurriedly picked up the flat pole and killed the green snake with a fierce blow. At this time, the frog burst into tears and laughed, and suddenly turned into a golden baby. Liu Hai liked it very much when he saw it, so he played with Jinwa. The fierce golden light flashed, and Jin Wa turned into a slender and beautiful girl again, calling Brother Liu Hai affectionately! Liu Hai was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly inquired about the life experience of Jin Toad girl. Originally. The whole toad girl was originally a golden toad in the jade pond of the queen mother, she was beaten to the mortal world because she came out to play without permission, fell into the water and suffered, and sent a green dragon to watch over her. On this day, Jin Toad came out and was discovered by Qinglong, and wanted to punish it, but fortunately, Liu Hai killed Qinglong and saved her. Liu Hai listened to it and sympathized with Jin Toad. On the same day, Liu Hai and Jin Toad got married. In order to fight against the Heavenly Court, the two of them came to Huangshan to find the help of the Eight Immortals. He Xiangu, one of the eight immortals, was Liu Hai's neighbor, and he was eager to save Liu Hai, so he led seven senior brothers to defeat the heavenly soldiers and generals in the sky above Huangshan and saved the lives of both of them. Since then, this story has left a beautiful scenery in Huangshan: bangs play golden toad. Hu Jiaojiao was full of praise and said: "It's really good, it turns out that there are so many legends and stories about a small stone." "I think this story is similar to the story of the frog prince in the West, and it seems that there are times when Chinese and Western cultures are similar.

Wang Gongzi was very happy to hear Hu Jiaojiao, and he said happily: "That is, I know a lot of stories, so everyone will listen to me slowly while walking, so I will simply tell you all the legends and stories I know in advance." Later, we will go to the front of the Banshan Temple, look up at the old man's peak on the waist of Tiandu Peak, there is a stone like a rooster, with his head facing the threshold of the sky, fluttering his wings and wanting to cry. On the rock wall on the side of the road of Banshan Temple, there are five characters engraved in the air. This piece of stone also has a moving folk tale. Legend has it that in ancient times, on both sides of the creek under the purple cloud rock of Huangshan, there lived two poor families, Yinmei and Jin Ge. Brother Jin and Yinmei go up the mountain every day to dig medicine and pick tea. For a long time, the two are inseparable. One day, when they both came to the stream, Brother Jin played the bamboo flute, and Yinmei sang a mountain song. Unexpectedly, the Jade Emperor in the sky was also visiting Huangshan on this day, and when he heard Yinmei's lark-like singing, he wanted to marry her as a concubine. The next day, Yinmei and Quan Ge were just about to get married, when suddenly the wind was fierce, lightning and thunder roared, and the heavenly soldiers and generals descended into the house, snatched Yinmei and left. Brother Jin chased to the old man's peak, and there was no trace of Yinmei, so he shouted Yinmei's name to Tianmen, and called it for seven hundred and forty-nine days, and suddenly after a storm, Brother Jin turned into a big golden rooster, raised his head and shouted, and his voice went straight to the sky. The sad and terrible cry shook the gate of heaven, and only one side of the threshold remained, which became the threshold of heaven seen today. The golden rooster also turned into a clever stone, and walked towards the gate of heaven where Yinmei walked all day long. This is the wonder of the tall golden rooster that you see now looking at the heavenly gate forever. Today, people have poems praising that the wings fly outside the sky and are not harvested, and the jade stands in front of the peak for thousands of years. The majestic posture is not afraid of wind and rain, and the sun is constantly shouting at the gate of heaven. Then we look back at the old man's peak from the dragon banner slope, the golden rooster is gone, but we see five stones shaped like five old men, hand in hand with a cane, shoulder to shoulder, climb to the top of Tiandu Peak, the image is vivid and vivid, known as the five old people on the Tiandu. The front stone is the head of the five elders, making a leading shape, also known as the old man's peak. Although the next few hundred took on their own forms, and some even retreated, but under the encouragement of the indomitable spirit of the first old man, they still overcame their fear of difficulties and continued to climb upward. Regarding the origin of this scene, there is also a folk story: a long time ago, the difference between humans and immortals was the number of longevity. Anyone who has lived to be 90 years old and less than 100 years old is called

"Half-immortal". As long as the half-immortals go to the heavenly capital, step into the spiritual sky, worship the Jade Emperor, and after the royal seal, they can be ranked in the immortal class and obtain the blessing of immeasurable longevity.

One day, from the southeast, northwest, and northwest, Zhao Qiansun and Li came the half-immortals who asked for the title of the heavens. They pass the half-mountain temple, cross the dragon slope, such as walking on the flat river, effortlessly.

As soon as they saw that the sky was looking at it, the immortal position was at their fingertips, and their hearts were happy. They are all masters of making couplet poems, and they can't help but sing and harmonize with each other: Zhao Banxian was the first to speak: I don't wear silk in summer, and I don't wear fur in winter;

Sun Banxian went on to say: "I don't admire the Guanghua Building, but I have lived in a humble room for a long time; Li Banxian said: "After a meal, I will walk a hundred steps, and I will work for myself"; Zhou Banxian said with a smile: I am open-minded, and I have no worries and no advantages.

These five half-immortal old men, on clothing, food, housing, transportation, thinking five aspects, chanted a longevity formula, but never expected that this was a leak of heavenly opportunities, violating the rules of heaven.

But the people's will can not be violated, this longevity is still spreading, passed down from generation to generation, until the later compilation of the "Hundred Family Names" people, still respect the five elders as the head of the Chinese hundred family names.

The five elders also love the people more and help the people, even if they have turned into stones, they have also cast a spell to become a golden rooster with their necks stretched out and their heads held high, leaving the world with the enlightenment that the gate of heaven can be opened and Shoufu can pursue.

There is also a stone figure beside the ladder, wearing a hood and a scarf fluttering, resembling a lady in ancient costumes. There was another stone opposite her, like a boy kneeling down and worshipping.

Two pieces of clever stones, constitute a mythical picture of the boy worshipping Guanyin. Today's people have poems: the boy in the good village is used to being modest, and the fifty-three visits are deep.

In order to understand the subtle method, Huangshan worships the ancient Guanyin again. About these two pieces of stone, there is also a mythical story among the folk: a long time ago, the Nanhai Guanyin went to the Queen Mother's cricket will return to the South China Sea, passing through the Yellow Mountain, suddenly heard a burst of wow-wow.

When Guanyin looked for it, he saw a child less than two years old lying in the torn jacket by the paulownia tree on the hillside, crying miserably and heartbreakingly.

It turned out that the child's father had died of illness not long ago, and this morning his mother took him up the mountain to collect medicine, and his mother fell into the stream and died.

Guanyin thought to herself, staying can not only raise children, but also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yellow Mountain, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone.

So, Guanyin shook her body and became an old woman in her sixties with frost-dyed temples, holding a bamboo basket in her hand, picking up a child, building branches on the hillside as a shed, knotting thatched as a house, and living with one ancestor and grandchild.

The boy was named after the tree, and his name was Tong Tsai. He's getting older, no matter what the old woman does. One day, the old woman pinched her fingers and counted: Ah, it's been eight days since I went out.

The gods are eight days old, and the world is the first of eight years. She said to the child, "Tongzai, I am not your grandmother!" and then told him about finding him from the hillside.

Then he said: "Tong Zai, you are also older, you can take care of yourself yourself, let me go!" When Tong Zai heard this, he said earnestly: Grandma, you raise me young, I want to raise you old, and I won't let you go!

The next day, the old woman came to the front of Tiandu Peak and said to Tong Zai: I want to go! Tong Zai grabbed it, knelt down and worshipped, grandma, you can't go after the second worship, Tong Zai looked up, and Guanyin stood in the auspicious clouds.

Tong Zai understood in his heart and kowtowed again. After three bows, Tong Tsai looked up again, only to see Guanyin raised with his hand, Tong Tsai followed her to drive the clouds away.

If we look at the scenery on the road later, we think of this mythical story, it is really lifelike, the more we look at it, the more it looks like it!" "We are looking at the beautiful scenery, while listening to Wang Gongzi's storytelling, but also relaxed and comfortable, Hu Jiaojiao is not so anxious to find a place to soak in the hot springs, impatient to say another one, we are under the effect of Einstein's theory of relativity, feel that the time has become shorter, Wang Gongzi is even more energetic, relish, sprinkled, chattering.

Wang Gongzi suddenly said with great interest: "Look, the big stone in front is the famous drunken stone. The old legend that Li Bai once came here to drink and listened, and he was happy and forgot to return, drunk and lying on the stone. Hence the name Drunken Stone. One said that Li Bai drank wine and chanted poetry here, after being drunk, he had three calls around the stone, and poured the remaining wine on the stone, Li Bai was drunk and lying next to the stone, and the boulder was also drunk, the title drunk stone Eryu, engraved on the stone, the two words were more than 1 meter high, 2 meters wide, 1 meter in diameter, and the book was written. The drunken stone is a granite stone that does not take root, standing next to the stream, and is not connected with the nearby peaks. On the cross-section, which is about 5 meters high, vertical fissures can be seen parallel to each other, which are very different from the layered fissures that slope on the nearby peaks, so they are considered to be outsiders. There are poems that praise: the dangerous stone arches the sky, and the river lies green. Wake up to the rain and solve the beard, and the ancient vine is supported by the ancient vines. People scattered at night, and many months were lonely. Contemporary Shen Rusong also has poems and clouds Chang'an, why bother to sleep at home, wash your ears with the three stacks of springs, begging to be put on the top of the white pheasant, not to prevent drunk and sleeping dream strings. Everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Taking advantage of the interlude between Wang Gongzi's thoughts, Xiao Fei whispered to me: "Actually, I also know, just now I also thought of one, but it is a legend of the Yuan Dynasty, I will not tell them, just tell you, Zheng Gong Fishing Rock is located on the left side of the hot spring spring spring stream, it is actually a boulder, rectangular, standing along the stream, this is Zheng Gong Fishing Rock is said to be the Yuan Dynasty Gaoshi Zheng Yu fishing place. Speaking of Zheng Yu, the word Zimei, the number of Shishan, the Yuan Dynasty Shexian Zheng Village. Abandon the industry, study the Six Classics, teach the township, and there are many people. The imperial court granted him the position of serving in Hanlin and playing the doctor, but he saw through the evil of officialdom and refused to accept it on the pretext that he was ill. Zhu Yuanzhang raised troops to resist the Yuan, Zheng Yu relied on his high level, did not participate in political affairs, and devoted himself to Huangshan and Baiyue, and took pleasure in writing poems and essays. He once carried a book into the Huangshan Xiangfu Temple to read hard, after lecturing, often bamboo crown field clothes, a child holding the piano, a waiter holding Lun, if the mountains and rivers. Its nature is noble, light and elegant, and it is valued by the people of the time. He is the author of books such as "Shishan Collection", "Zhou Yi Compilation Note", "Spring and Autumn Classics", etc., and left many stone inscriptions and praise poems in Huangshan. Zhu Yuanzhang captured the Huizhou Mansion, and some people fabricated charges to conceal Zheng Yu, and his student Bao Shen heard about it, and on the one hand, he let his son be imprisoned on his behalf, and on the other hand, he informed Zheng Gong to escape. When the Ming army wanted to execute him, he dressed neatly and hanged himself calmly, in order to be righteous. Zhang Tingjing, a native of the Qing Dynasty, has poems and fishes with hanging stone inscriptions, leaving traces of Zheng Gong in Burma; officials and apprentices pass on the service system, and they trust themselves to fishermen; they have a long career in their careers; they leave traces of high wind and worship the loyal soul of Yasukuni. The nostalgia of later generations for Zheng Yu is mainly due to his noble character. There is a stone slab lead bridge to climb to the top of the fishing rock, and the rock is engraved with the four characters of Huangshan fairyland. Today's people have poems praising its stone and saying that it is like a building boulder near the soup pool, and Zimei was fishing for rocks in those years. The vicissitudes of wind and rain have passed several times, and new poems have been written every year. I nodded approvingly and gave a thumbs up.

I suddenly exclaimed, this big rock looks like a big tiger. Xiao Fei continued to tell me triumphantly: "Actually, this is Hutou Rock, also known as Shanjun Rock, this rock stands against the mountain, roaring with its head held high, because it resembles a tiger's head, hence the name." Although this rock only has the shape of a tiger's head, it is majestic when it opens its mouth and angry eyes. There is a stone bench under the rock to sit on, like a tiger opening its mouth to swallow people. The wonders are natural and never get tired of seeing. Cheng Yuanfeng, the right minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote a poem praising the cloud dragon meeting, and he was alone with a sudden surprise at the end, and he was familiar with a little beard. The wild old and the admonishment are charged, and the pedestrians are afraid. Dare to annoy the ape arm hand, shoot this old man. There are three characters engraved on the rock, which is written by Luo Yuan, who was a person in the Southern Song Dynasty. Legend has it that once upon a time there was a vicious rich man in Huangshan, and the peasants called him a mountain wolf worm. His young tenant Dashan rescued a tiger that was chased and injured by a mountain wolf. In order to repay the grace of saving his life, the tiger closed the door in the heavy snow, and the Dashan family cut off the annual pass of firewood and rice, and brought a girl, a bag of rice and a pig's leg to Dashan. This girl was robbed by a mountain wolf insect to force her marriage to flee for her life, and she was homeless, so she married the mountain. The mountain wolf insect knew about it, and hurriedly took the melon tooth to find the mountain to settle the account. The tiger came again and led the couple up the mountain and hid. He crouched near the danjing, opened his mouth, and swallowed the mountain wolf worm and his minions that caught up. Because the tiger wanted to protect the mountain couple, after sitting for a long time, it was petrified and became the appearance of the current tiger head rock. I suddenly saw a sword-like stone in the distance, and I couldn't help but say to Xiao Fei: "Look, this stone is so unique and distinctive." Xiao Fei smiled and said, "This is the famous one." If we walk through the Mingxian Spring and the Falling Star Spring, we can see this stone. There is a vertical crack in the middle of it, about 2 meters wide at the top, and it gradually narrows and disappears at the bottom, apparently formed by the gradual weathering and expansion of the crack in the vertical direction. Therefore, the middle of the stone is cracked, like a sharp sword split, hence the name. Legend has it that this was split by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, with a sword. Zhu Yuanzhang and Han King Chen Youliang fought a battle in the southeast of Poyang Lake, Zhu Yuanzhang was defeated, and hurriedly retreated to Huangshan, Chen Youliang chased after him, and also came to Huangshan, and ordered the troops to rest and eat to capture Zhu Yuanzhang alive. Chen Youliang's favorite concubine, Lou Ji, is unparalleled in beauty, and Chen Youliang loves her very much. She also came to Huangshan with the army, and wanted to take the maid up the mountain to play. When Lou Ji visited the mountains to enjoy the scenery, she only cared about retreating, and unconsciously came to the edge of the cliff. When he was about to fall off the cliff, someone suddenly flew out of the horse, stretched out his hand and grabbed Lou Ji and put him on horseback. When the horse stopped, after Lou Ji thanked him for saving his life, he looked up and saw that it was Zhu Yuanzhang, and hurriedly said, Why don't you run away quickly? Zhu said that I am afraid that there will be no time! Lou Ji sincerely said that if you are bold to move forward, there will be an hour; if you have no courage to move forward, you will miss the hour. Zhu turned around and left, but a boulder blocked the way. He drew his sword and said secretly: If you can reorganize the team, conquer the country, and Na'vi, the sword will be opened. With that, he waved his sword, and with a loud bang, the sword opened open. Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and smiled at Lou Ji, then stepped on the horse, beckoned the soldiers, and passed through the crack in the boulder. He finally won the hour and fled from Huangshan. Later, he reorganized the team, killed Chen Youliang, became the emperor, and accepted Lou Ji as a concubine. Another said that Zhu Yuanzhang was defeated by the Yuan soldiers in a battle, the soldiers fled, and the war horse was killed, he rushed out of the encirclement alone, came to the stone, was full of grief and indignation, raised his sword, and swore in the face of the boulder: If I don't overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, I will not be a man. Then, with his sword in hand, he split the boulder in half. The three characters of the stone test sword stone are written by Wang Daokun of the Ming Dynasty. There was once a poem that said that although the army was defeated and trapped in the mountains, it was able to destroy the Yuan army. The sword in his hand fell and the cold light flashed, and the boulder responded in half. Look at me or not, I know everything?" I looked at him again and again for a long time, and was amazed, how did Xiao Fei become so powerful, so he smiled and said: "Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei, when did you become so well-known in ancient and modern times, erudite and knowledgeable, and even know such ancient legends and stories as Huangshan, it is incredible, too amazing, and impressive, but I probably know the reason, you must have been to Huangshan in modern society." Xiao Fei said with a hippie smile: "It is worthy of my ice and snow smart, eccentric Purple Moon, it is true." ”
