36 Origin and Destiny
36. Origin and wish
Knowing that the opportunity had come, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, paid the bill with copper coins, and went west according to the instructions of the prophetic poem.
He turned over Foshan to Huping, put his hand on the pergola and looked down, only to see a flat land in the distance, three thousand-year-old cypress trees in the shape of a zigzag growing next to the stone bridge, under the tree an old man, with a cane to hit the ground, seems to be angry.
He took three deep breaths in quick succession, trying to calm himself down. Then go straight to the old man. As soon as he arrived, he heard the old man's desolate cry. Alas, I have lost so much money, how can I explain to my son?
Slowly walked over and gave a deep salute and said, Uncle, I am a passer-by, because of the long journey, my mouth is thirsty, and I want to ask for a glass of water. I don't know if it's convenient?
The old man sighed and said, there are many difficulties when going out. Come with me.
Follow the old man into the tiled house next to him, and the old man scooped up a scoop of cold water from the jar and handed it to him.
And when he was indeed thirsty, he drank a cattle. After drinking, he returned the scoop to the old man, and then took out ten copper coins from his sleeve and put them on the table.
The old man hurriedly excused himself and said, this is cold water everywhere, no money.
Said with a smile, the old man came back with water, although the water is not valuable, it is not easy to carry water, I will subsidize the family for you.
The old man thanked again and again, what a good person, these ten big money can make a table.
Suddenly, I heard a deafening dragon groan outside.
Exclaimed, uncle, what kind of sound is this? It's scary.
The old man sighed, alas, this is a beast of a pit man.
My son is in business in Luoyang and often does business with the Hu people. On this day, a Dawan man lost his capital, so he had no choice but to sell two BMW horses at a low price, because I had 20 acres of mountainous land to cultivate, and my son saw that Dawan horses were fat and strong, and the price was also appropriate, so he bought five taels of silver to let me plow the field.
Who knew that this beast didn't wear the trap at all, and not only tore the reins, but also kicked and injured the long worker. I had no choice but to inform my son that these were two wild horses. Hurry up and find someone to sell it, so as not to lose money. The son hurriedly asked someone to sell the horse. I haven't found a buyer yet, and something happened here.
That morning I went to the stable to feed the horses, and when I saw that the chrysanthemum was sweating profusely, I was a little puzzled.
At night, I hid next to me and secretly observed, only to see the jujube red horse pouting with the chrysanthemum green halter and gently pulling, the chrysanthemum green took off the reins, and ran towards Huping with a neigh.
I followed closely behind. When I arrived, I found that there was a tiger lying on the tiger flat.
As soon as Chrysanthemum arrived, the tiger stood up. After the two beasts turned around each other, they fought, the tiger was extremely vicious, but the chrysanthemum blue did not seem to be easy to provoke, the long mane on the neck was thrown away, like a sharp arrow, several confrontations, the tiger's nose and mouth were kicked crookedly, and blood was sprinkled on the ground along the tiger's whiskers. The tiger roared again and again, but there was nothing to be done, they fought from midnight to dawn, and they really couldn't move, so they used their forelimbs to gesture on the ground, and their mouths kept snorting. It seems to be agreeing on the time of the next fight. When the tiger limped away, and Chrysanthemum returned to the stable exhausted, I left in a hurry.
The more I think about it when I get home, the worse it gets. If you are neighbors with tigers, you will eventually suffer from them. Fortunately, this wild horse, which does not know how to work, is not afraid of tigers. If it can kill the tiger, not only will it be safe here, but the tiger bones and tiger skins will also be sold for a lot of money.
Thinking of this, I pretended to go to the stables as if nothing happened, and the jujube red horse had already pouted with its mouth and put it on the mouth of the chrysanthemum. It's as if nothing happened.
While adding fine material to the trough, I observed and saw that the long and stiff mane on the neck of the chrysanthemum green not only covered the eyes, but also held it on the ground, which was very unfriendly. I thought, how much trouble is this fight, if it weren't for the hard hair blocking the eyes, maybe the chrysanthemum would have been more accurate last night, and directly kicked the tiger to death.
Thinking of this, I couldn't stay any longer, went back to the house, took out the scissors, and divided the chrysanthemum by two. Looking at the chrysanthemum green of Lili Suosuo, several large jars of tiger bone old wine and white flower silver appeared in front of my eyes.
At night, I hid and watched as last time, Chrysanthemum Qing and the tiger only fought for an hour, and the neck was bitten off by the tiger, which made my distressed eyes black, alas, the two halves of the white flower were gone.
After the tiger left, I ran home, but I couldn't figure it out, it was obviously chrysanthemum green that had the upper hand before, even if I didn't win today, I shouldn't die in the tiger's mouth?
After dawn, I went to the bazaar to find Zhang Lao Wu, who sold horses for a living, and asked him for advice.
After listening to this, Lao Wu lectured me and said, "What are you doing by cutting the mane on the horse's neck if you have nothing to do?" Angry horses are like dragons, once a real BMW is angry or ready to fight, the mane on his neck will rise like a steel needle. These steel needles can block the tiger's sharp teeth, so that it does not dare to mouth,
Listening to your description, this horse should be the famous horse lion skull, the first place in the famous horse of the fierce horse. This ** is useless here, it's just a waste. Once there is a war, it becomes a priceless treasure when it goes to the battlefield.
The old man wiped a handful of tears when he said this, I am also cheap, what to do with shearing hair, this scissor goes down, what is sheared is not hair, but silver.
Sympathetically, "Uncle, isn't there still a red lion skull?" Can you let me go to the stable, maybe I can help you?
The old man sighed, you are a good person, but I can't pit you, this horse can't pull a cart, can't plow the ground, can't even carry firewood, has an empty body of meat, can't do anything. It only kicks and bites.
Walking into the stable, the red horse jumped up with a dragon groan, the two front hooves inserted into the wooden trough, suddenly turned around and kicked the back hooves to the ******, ****** had already taken precautions, and sat on the ground with a pop, the iron hooves of the lion skulls directly kicked off the wooden pillars of the stable, and half of the grass roof collapsed.
He got out of the stable with a dusty face and said, "Uncle, I have an urgent matter to go to Chang'an, but I don't have horses to ride." I walked to Chang'an step by step like this, and I don't know how many years it was? Why don't you do this, I have a silver ingot here, ten taels of foot lines, and the money is put here for you, and the horse will be mine.
The old man trembled with excitement. He took ****** hand and shook it again and again, and said, I only used five taels of silver to buy two horses. Now you have ten taels of silver for a horse, and my ancestors are all family members of the village. This, this can't fool people.
With a smile, what you like me is a deal. If the old man really doesn't want to go, he can prepare some fine feed for me, this horse is too strong, and he recognizes the Lord. I'll have to feed it for a few days, and I'll get used to it before he lets me ride it.
For several days, ****** accompanied the lion skull, not only feeding diligently, but also constantly stroking the lion's neck, rubbing his legs, rubbing his abdomen, patting his buttocks, driving away mosquitoes and flies, and itching for it to enhance his feelings.
Seven days later, ****** turned over and stepped on the back of the lion's horse, and said to the old man, take care, if you have time, I will come back to visit you, after speaking, the legs clamped the horse's belly, and the lion rushed out like an arrow, and in a blink of an eye passed the mountain pass. Like a fire dragon, it went straight to Chang'an.
The streets of Chang'an are full of flowers, and they are huge because of political, social, economic, and military stability. It has become the center of world politics and economy.
He didn't dare to ride his horse on the street, so he led the lion to inquire all the way to the palace. I was worried about what to do, and suddenly heard a rapid gong sound in front of me, and a group of yellow-clothed men walked slowly with waist knives, and shouted neatly in their mouths, The emperor is out on patrol, and the common people are waiting, hurry up and kneel to pick it up. Huhula, the people in the street, including camels, horses, lambs, etc., all knelt down at the shouting of their masters.
In a panic, seeing that a golden chariot was about to arrive, he pressed the lion's neck desperately, and said in his mouth, baby, lie down, the emperor is coming, we dare not stand like this.
The lion snorted and stood firmly but did not lie down. I was really anxious, picked up my slap, and hit the lion skull on the neck. He also said, it's really terrible, you hurry up and lie down for me.
The lion's skull suffered this, and with a flick of his neck, he threw his ****** to the ground, and then jumped up on his front legs, and let out a loud dragon groan. The palace guards were shocked, drew their waist knives and surrounded them. Quickly crawled to the ground, trembling incessantly.
Inside the chariot, Li Shimin, the lord of the Tang Dynasty, was annoyed,
This emperor who chased the three emperors with martial arts and dominated the world all his life did not have too many bad habits, only had a soft spot for eagles and horses.
Some time ago, someone in the Western Regions offered a very human harrier,
This harrier is extremely interesting. Not only can it understand the owner's words, but it can also comb the master's hair with its mouth, and when it is hot, it will stand on the desk and fan it with its wings, so that Li Shimin's favorite love is like a treasure.
The attendant reminded: Your Majesty, Wei Zheng's old stubborn man has often been looking for the emperor recently, if he sees that the emperor is intoxicated with birds and beasts, he will definitely chatter in the name of admonishment. Be careful.
Li Shimin said with a smile, it's a good reminder, as long as you see Wei Zheng coming in the future, you will quickly inform me, I hide the bird from him, won't it be fine?
Li Shimin was playing happily with the harrier bird that day, and the attendant hurriedly came to report, Wei Zheng came, Li Shimin hurriedly stood up, and saw that there was no place to hide on the left and right, and he was in a hurry, so he directly hid the bird in his arms.
In fact, Wei Zheng had seen it a long time ago, but he pretended not to know, Li Shimin originally hoped to send Wei Zheng away in a few words. Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng knew it well, kneaded many state affairs together, and deliberately pulled things around. A few hours later, Wei Zheng got up to take his leave. Tang Taizong was already sweating profusely,
He hurriedly took out the harrier from his bosom and looked at it, pitiful, this clever and cute harrier had already been suffocated in his arms.
Li Shimin couldn't help but be furious while grieving. He hatefully returned to ** and said to Empress Changsun, sooner or later I will kill Wei Zheng, a stubborn hillbilly, not only does he often reprimand me for not being able to get off the stage. Even playing a little bird in his spare time was also restrained by him, I am rich all over the world, and my private life is not as good as that of ordinary children of the family. Then he recounted the story of the harrier that had been killed.
After hearing this, the queen turned around and went back to the palace to change into court clothes, knelt down to congratulate Tang Taizong,
Li Shimin said in surprise, this is **, the place where you and I talk to each other. What are you doing so formally?
The eldest grandson and queen said, as the old saying goes, only a wise king is worthy of having an upright minister. Today, Wei Zheng is so upright, which proves that the emperor is a rare virtuous king in ancient and modern times. Therefore the concubines congratulate you,
One sentence made Li Shimin's heart flutter. He happily walked around the room, looked around, and said, What you said is good, but what should I reward Wei Zheng After speaking, he reached out and picked up the jade ruyi on the table and said to the waiter. Send this to Wei Zheng's mansion, and say that I may not be able to do good as a stream, but I will definitely know my mistakes and can change them.
The general truth is understood, but when he privately recalled the harrier's cleverness and cuteness, Li Shimin's heart ached for a while.
Empress Changsun persuaded, you have been bored in the palace for a long time, your ears and eyes are closed, you might as well go outside to relax, for the public, you can observe the people's feelings, for private reasons, and travel to the mountains and rivers to cultivate sentiments. I don't know if there are other opportunities to meet.
In this way, after Li Shimin prepared for a few days, he gave an order, and the brigade left the palace.
Just walked to the middle street, suddenly heard the dragon roaring outside the car, he is the emperor on the horse, there is a natural affinity for the horse, hearing the horse bark, can no longer sit still, open the bead curtain to look out,
I saw a red steed like an angry dragon, jumping up in the air, circling left and right, kicking the palace guards who rounded it up and staggering. A big man in yellow was furious, lying on the ground and slashing at the horse's hooves with a knife.
Li Shimin was furious, shouted violently, stopped, jumped out of the chariot, raised his leg and kicked the big man, and said, You murderer, you dare to use despicable means to hurt my BMW?
The guards rushed up and grabbed the yellow-clothed guard. Li Shimin looked around and asked the people, who is this Fire Cloud Dragon?
With a tight heart, he confirmed the poem and today's events, and knew that everything was predestined. stabilized his emotions, knelt on the ground and said loudly, the grass people ******, Shanxi Taiyuan people, occasionally got this BMW, did not dare to use it for their own use, and came all the way to Chang'an to dedicate it to the emperor to show the people's loyalty to the king.
Li Shimin was overjoyed and said, what is the name of this BMW?
Loudly, this is the Great Wanlie Horse, because the mane is long and can hang to the ground, so it is called Lion Skull.
This Marco Libo beast travels thousands of miles a day. Then the story of another lion, Chrysanthemum Blossom, fighting the tiger.
only scratched Li Shimin's ears and cheeks, but he couldn't do it himself. said repeatedly, it's a pity, such a BMW is so valuable, it is a common power animal in the people.
Well, you are so faithful in the country, how can I be a stingy lord?
From today onwards, I will entitle you as the Doctor of the Five Grades. But it's just a false position, and you are not allowed to interfere in state affairs. In terms of etiquette, it can compete with any local official.
At the same time, I will give you 100 taels of gold, 1,000 ingots of silver, and 300 hectares of fertile land. I will also inform the magistrates and take good care of you. You're still satisfied with this, aren't you?
He paused again and again, and shouted hoarsely, the emperor is sage, such a great grace, it is difficult to repay the death of the ministers.
Returning home with a red face and brocade clothes,
When passing through Huping in Gongxian County, he also specially visited the old man and left silver and white tattoos.
When he came to Xu Village, Bishui County, the order of Bishui County led the people to greet him.
No one paid attention, Lao Yuan stopped the car, kowtowed step by step to the small temple, and said loudly, I don't understand anything, I don't know anything, but I know very well in my heart that when I was in trouble and cornered, I made a big wish. If you can make a comeback and return to your hometown, you must build a temple to repay the protection of the gods. Later, a fairy lady gave silver guidance, and I have today. Now I ****** wish to come. Please come to this place, and from today onwards, the whole temple will be erected.
With the help of the Bishui County Order, he bought the land bricks and tiles and built the whole temple.
Seeing this, the people also raised funds one after another, and the incense continued after the building, and they asked for thousands of answers, thousands of souls, and blessed the people of the party.
With his heart hung on the temple, he sold his family property in Taiyuan and moved his family to Xu Village, Bishui County.
He lived to be one hundred and seven years old before he died, and his descendants were divided into seven branches, some of whom had moved to other places, but every September 9th, the birthday of Dou Mu Yuanjun, was also the day when the temple was built, everyone would come back to protect the dojo, and his descendants and descendants had always been blessed by the gods in the temple.
Until a few hundred years later, during the reign of the Great Song Dynasty Shenzong, due to the age, things are not people, and the temple has been somewhat dilapidated. However, it was a fierce battle between the courts, and the whole temple was also torn in it.
