Chapter 058: Making Up Stories
In the land temple, the old village chief asked, "What do you add?"
"It's just a matter of adding a little bit of humanities, history and culture. Feng Qingyan smiled and said.
The old village chief was stunned for a moment, and then said in amazement: "It seems that our village has no humanities, history and culture, how can you add it?"
"No? I see it. ”
Feng Qingyan couldn't help but smile, and then told the story he had just made up in detail: "Legend has it that during the Yifeng period of the Tang Dynasty, a group of unusual big carp lived in a river in this green mountain. This group of big carp has lived in this green mountain and green water for many years, constantly absorbing and refining day by day, and gradually cultivating and becoming successful, and will speak to others. ”
"One day, these big carp that live in the river suddenly heard that the scenery at the end of the river is good, and they all want to go to the end of the river for sightseeing. So, they swam upstream, all the way to the cliff of the Xiaoqing River, but the continuous river cliff cut off their way like a heavenly gate, so they had to gather under this river cliff. ”
"One day, a big red carp said to everyone, 'I have an idea, how about we jump over this river cliff,' 'It's so high, how can we jump,' 'If you don't jump well, you'll fall to your death,' and the big carp said babbling, but they couldn't make up their minds. ”
"At this point, the big red carp volunteered and said, 'I'll jump first, give it a try.'" I saw that it exerted all its strength from half a mile away, like an arrow off the string, jumped into the clouds of the middle of the sky at once, and drove the clouds and rain in the air forward. ”
But at that moment, a heavenly fire chased after it and burned its tail. It endured the pain and continued to leap forward, finally crossing the long river cliff and falling into the water of Xiaoqingshan's lake, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a divine dragon. When the big carp in the river saw this, they were so frightened that they shrank together, and they didn't dare to take this risk anymore. ”
"Then a dragon came down from heaven and said, 'Don't be afraid, I am your companion, the big red carp.' Because I have jumped over this dragon gate, I have become a dragon, and you must also jump bravely.'" When the big carp heard these words, they were encouraged and began to jump off the river cliffs one by one. But except for a few who jumped over and turned into a dragon, most of them couldn't get through. Anyone who can't jump over and falls from the air will have a black scar on his forehead......"
"To this day, this black scar still grows on the carp's forehead......"
Feng Qingyan smiled and said, at this time, he saw that the old village chief, Qigong and others were stunned and looked at him in a daze, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, this story is not good, why don't I change it?"
"Hey, it seems that there is really a black scar on the carp's forehead, Qingyan, are you telling the truth?" Qigong was stunned, and then said in surprise, "No wonder there is a black scar on the carp's forehead, it turns out to be like this." ”
"Uh......"
Feng Qingyan was stunned for a moment when he heard Qigong's words.
"Well, wonderful, as if it were true. The old village chief clapped his hands, and his expression became a little strange, this story was made up too quickly.
"Old village chief, this story is not over yet. Feng Qingyan said.
"It's not over yet, but Qingyan, it doesn't seem that you're talking about our village, how can there be any dragon gate in our village? The old village chief said thoughtfully.
"Everyone said yes, that is, after a long time, no. Aren't some of the so-called humanities, history, and culture just made up by people? As for the Dragon Gate, isn't it just that section of the Stone River? The mountains on both sides are sandwiched together, standing on the stone river and looking at Xiaoqinghu, isn't it just a gate......" Feng Qingyan said indifferently.
"Is that okay?" the old village chief was stunned.
"Why not?"
Feng Qingyan asked rhetorically, and then continued: "And at this time, a wandering Taoist priest happened to come to Xiaoqingshan and saw the scene of the big red carp jumping over the Longmen Cliff. So he chased after it curiously, to see where the big red carp had jumped and why it had jumped over the long river cliff. When he chased to Xiaoqing Lake, he suddenly saw an island with a bright glow falling from the sky and landing in the Xiaoqing Lake. ”
On that island, the Taoist priest saw countless beautiful birds, and it turned out that these rays of light were emitted from those birds. This beautiful bird is called the Bird of Paradise, and it is a sacred bird that dwells in the heavens, and they can sing and dance......"
When Daoist You Fang saw that there was a dragon in the lake and a bird on the island, he suddenly understood that this was the blessed land cave he had been looking for. So, he cut grass on the mountain col and set up a house, meditated and practiced day and night, from time to time to feed the carp in the Longmen Cliff, or went to the paradise island to watch the birds, and finally became an immortal during the reign of Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty......"
"After the Taoist priest You Fang became an immortal, he was grateful to Xiao Qingshan, so he asked the Jade Emperor for a divine seed. The divine seed fell from the sky and landed next to the grass house where he once practiced, and after the nourishment of Xiaoqingshan's aura, the divine seed finally broke through the ground, slowly growing golden branches and crystal clear jade leaves. Legend has it that the jade leaves on the sacred tree can not only spit out the aura that nourishes all things, but also cure all kinds of diseases. Swallowing it all year round can make the body as light as a swallow, and even become an immortal......"
"After the appearance of the sacred tree, it also attracted some people to live here, and when the people got sick, they would pick a jade leaf, as long as they swallowed it, the people's illness would be cured immediately. As time passed, the news that there was a sacred tree in Xiaoqingshan slowly spread, leading to the scramble of people with bad intentions. Moreover, this matter also reached the ears of the emperor, and in order to get this sacred tree, the emperor wanted people to move this sacred tree to the palace to ......"
"However, the Divine Tree was left to Xiao Qingshan by the Taoist priest in order to thank Xiao Qingshan for letting him become an immortal, how could it be removed by people? From then on, the sacred tree could no longer be seen or touched......"
"When the people who lived here saw that the sacred tree was gone, they knelt down in front of the sacred tree and wept, begging the gods not to remove it. And at this time, the Taoist priest said that as long as someone is willing to protect Xiaoqingshan for the rest of his life, he can not remove the sacred tree. So, a kind-hearted person bravely stood up, and he said that he was willing to protect Xiao Qingshan for the rest of his life......"
"A hundred years later, the good-hearted man died. At this time, the Taoist priest appeared again and said to the soul of the common man, "Do you want to become an immortal?" The common man said, I don't want to become an immortal, I just want to continue to stay here, this is my home, I just want it to be smooth and prosperous, and the grains are abundant......
"The Taoist priest said, then I will ask the Jade Emperor to let you be the god of the land, and the sacred tree will also be left for you to use, so the land temple appeared in Qingshan Village. Yes, it is said that the auspicious image above the land temple is the immortal energy left by the Taoist priest when he ascended to the immortal. ”
"It is said that anyone who sees an auspicious sign will have good fortune and it will bring good luck to people......
