Taihua Mountain, the mountain is gentle and gentle, the mountains are beautiful and verdant, and the beauty is exquisite. There are five peaks in Taihua Mountain: Chaoyang Peak in the east, this peak is towering, and can greet the rising sun every day; Lotus Peak in the west, this peak is handsome and beautiful, such as the lotus flower blooming, and it is impossible to square things; Luoyan Peak in the south, this peak is magnificent, magnificent, climb to the top, and see all the mountains at a glance; the central Jade Girl Peak, this peak is the most abrupt, towering into the clouds, the peak is full of clouds and mist, the forest is hidden, the strange stones are craggy, but these strange stones are all white jade. It can be said that Jade Girl Peak is like a woman who is clear and jade, handsome and elegant. Legend has it that there is a rainy mountain lake on the top of the Jade Maiden Peak, a dancing pavilion and a gallery that pulls the bridge, which is simply a fairy palace.

The mountains are full of strange flowers and plants, precious beasts, the spring water at the bottom of the mountain is bubbling out, the mountains and rivers are picturesque, the flowers are blooming, the birds are singing, the four seasons are like spring, the fairy spirit is curling, like a fairyland on earth.

The scenery of Taihua Mountain is beautiful, it is an excellent tourist attraction, there have always been many literati and ink writers who have come to see the style, among which there are many amazing and brilliant people, they have left many words of praise: "The mountains crouch on this rugged peak, and the sky cuts the hibiscus and towers Cuicen." The literati of the Seven Kingdoms all agreed that Taihua was the peak of Huazhang, which meant the peak of writing.

Mount Taihua is famous all over the world and is a scenic spot in Nanyang County, and it seems that it should be so. However, it is not possible to make Taihua Mountain famous for thousands of years, but it is not just a beautiful scenery. The Holy Concubine Temple at the foot of the main peak, Jade Girl Peak, is the reason why Taihua Mountain has been famous for thousands of years.

The Holy Concubine Temple, with pink walls and tiles, is simple and fresh, and is located at the foot of the Jade Girl Peak. The statue of the Holy Concubine was carved thousands of years ago by collecting jade from the top of the Jade Maiden Peak and carving it by skilled craftsmen. However, the face of the statue of the Holy Concubine is carved into a veiled appearance, which makes the Holy Concubine full of mystery.

Legend has it that the Holy Concubine Temple is dedicated to the Holy Concubine Niangniang, who is the younger sister of the Heavenly Judicial God, who is kind and benevolent, and has always been admired by the people of the world. Therefore, the Holy Concubine Temple has always been full of incense, and it is particularly effective. There are those who seek gold and jade good fate, those who seek the title of the gold list, those who seek family harmony, those who seek to have children, those who seek a smooth career, those who seek to do business and full of silver, and those who seek the emperor's longevity and the peace of the country.

Not only the Holy Concubine Temple was built in Shu, but also the Holy Concubine Temple was built in Wuguo, Song, Ming, Wen, Chen, and Yu.

……

At this moment, the people of Nanyang County marched hand in hand with trepidation, walking towards Taihua Mountain and the Holy Concubine Temple, and they went to the Holy Concubine Temple with dry food pancakes to pray for the blessing of the Holy Concubine.

The guards of Nanyang City couldn't stop the people, so they had to let the people go. Looking at the backs of the people leaving, Zhou Hong, the guard general standing on the city tower, frowned, this is a middle-aged general, with a big face, two beards, and a scar on the left side of his face.

Zhou Hong held the hilt of his sword in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Prepare your horse quickly! ”

"No!" the guards behind him turned around and went down the castle tower to prepare their horses.

Zhou Hong rode a fast horse, galloped all the way, and arrived at the county guard mansion on Central Street, he turned over and dismounted, stepped in front of the door in two steps, and patted the door. With a "squeak", the gate of the county guard's mansion opened, and a person poked his head out, and a white-haired old man looked at it.

"Hua Bo, are you here, I have something urgent!" Zhou Hong said eagerly.

"It's General Zhou, and my lord is in the inner hall. Hua Bo saw the person clearly, and then spoke slowly.

Zhou Hong passed by Hua Bo like a gust of wind and headed to the lobby. Hua Bo was dumbfounded, and had to sigh: "It's good to be young!" Zhou Hong walked all the way, through the corridor, through the rockery, past the pavilions, and came to the lobby. After waiting for a while, he still didn't see the county guard come out, and Zhou Hong kept walking back and forth in the lobby.

When Zhou Hong was about to enter the inner hall, Hua Bo walked into the lobby tremblingly, and Zhou Hong greeted him, "Hua Bo, your old man is going to urge the adults, I have something important to tell." ”

"Xiaoye, what's the matter? A middle-aged scribe walked out of the inner hall, his face was white, he looked bookish, holding a folding fan in his hand, and he was calm. It is the Taishou of Nanyang County - Fang Zhi.

"Sir. Waber stood with his hands down.

"Well, Warber, serve tea. Fang Zhi sat in the first seat. Warber turned and left, and went to make tea.

"My lord, two suns were suddenly born in the sky today, and the people were sincerely afraid, and now, they all took their families to the Holy Concubine Temple of Taihua Mountain to pray for the blessing of the Holy Concubine. My lord, the people of the whole city went out of the city together, and the subordinates couldn't stop it, so I came to ask my lord, do you want to recover the people?" Zhou Hong bowed to Fang Zhi and said.

"Hehe, Xiaoye is really loyal to his duty! Come, sit down first, and have a cup of tea. Fang Zhi said with a smile. Waber brought the tea, then stepped back and closed the door.

"My lord, all the people are dispatched, the production in the city is stopped, and it takes three days to go to Taihua Mountain, is it possible that the production in Nanyang City will stop in these three days?"

"Then in the opinion of filial piety, what should we do?" Fang Zhi said with a smile, filial piety is Zhou Hong's character.

In the opinion of the last general, it is better to recover the people, and then the adults personally went to the Taihua Mountain Holy Concubine Temple, leading some respected gentry to pray for the blessings of the people. Zhou Xiaoye said seriously.

"Haha!" Fang Zhi laughed, "Xiaoye is worthy of being brave and resourceful, and great good! ”

"Since you agree with the Admiral's opinion, please go to the north of the city, and the Admiral will lead the sergeants to chase back the people who have left the city. Zhou Hong's face was full of excitement.

"There's no hurry. Fang Zhi picked up the tea and took a sip, "Xiaoye, you sit down first and take a sip of tea." ”

"My lord!" Zhou Hong slashed down the seat beside him with a sword.

"Master, the man you sent out has returned. Warber said outside the door.

"Call him in. Fang Zhi said lightly.

A soldier walked in and bowed to Fang Zhi, "My lord, the people have returned to the city. ”

"Well, you go down, get ready, and go to the Holy Concubine Temple tomorrow to make incense. Fang Zhi looked at Zhou Hong, who was dazed, and said with a smile.

"Yes. The soldier withdrew.

"Xiaoye, Xiaoye!" Fang Zhi called Zhou Hong twice in succession.

"Oh, my lord, you call me?" Zhou Hong came back to his senses from his contemplation.

"You, you're still so impatient, this is your taboo!" Fang Zhi said solemnly.

"What the Lord taught me was that the last general was offended just now. Zhou Hong said sincerely, and then smiled bitterly, "My lord is strategizing, and the general will admire it." ”

"It's okay, Xiaoye doesn't have to be arrogant, I can't be as good as you in your ability to charge into battle!" Fang Zhi said.

"The last general will not dare!"

"Go, come with me, and pacify the people. ”

"No!"

……

The sound of the piano is curling, and she is wearing a cold moon fairy dress, holding the strings in her hands, and the beautiful melody is like a fish playing on the lake. Her charm frowned, and the jade hand pressed the piano, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly. She looked up at the surface of the lake, and saw a small white bird skimming over the lake, like a dragonfly touching the water, and there was no ripple on the surface of the lake.

She brushed her sleeves up, put her hands on her lower abdomen, stepped on the auspicious clouds, and took a step forward. She looked at the lake, calm and serene, her brows slightly curved. Suddenly, a flash of light shone over the surface of the lake, gradually approaching.

The approaching light turned out to be a halo of the sun, she quietly looked at the halo on the surface of the lake, the halo slowly flew to her feet, stopped for a moment, the halo gradually dissipated, only to see an eighty-year-old man lying there quietly, a colorful squirrel rolled his eyes in a row, stepped on the old man's chest, and looked at her playfully. She saw the cute squirrel and smiled, and although the veil covered her face, her smile could not be hidden.

She seemed to understand something, and her brow softened. The brilliance of the crimson sun flickered, "This mortal was robbed of his life by the wind, and you use the immortal qi to restore his vitality." With that, the crimson sun faded away.

I don't know when Jing Yang was already wearing a white shirt, which should have been put on by the dark red sun for him. He was now the old man in his eighties, lying there quietly.

Looking at the direction of the departing dark red sun, she turned her head and looked at Jingyang, this mortal who had been robbed of his vitality by the wind, and the old one was about to fall into the ground at this time. She walked to Jingyang's side, leaned over, touched Jingyang's face, nodded slightly, and then cast the immortal trick, a purple light wrapped Jingyang, supporting his body and floating towards the attic.

She put Jingyang on the couch, then pinched her hands into orchid fingers and cast a spell, only to see her hands glow with a faint purple, and her whole body was shrouded in purple gas. She kept changing her handprints, the orchid fingers were placed flat on her chest, and slowly pulled through, a trace of purple lines were pulled apart, and the orchid fingers of both hands merged into one, and a purple light shot out.

Purple light burst onto Jing Yang's body, and a purple halo instantly surrounded Jing Yang, swimming around his body. With the wandering of these purple qi, Jingyang's skin gradually plumped, his old face gradually recovered, his white hair turned back to black, and Jingyang suddenly turned back into a young man who was clear and handsome.

She watched Jingyang come back to life, and she smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming. She withdrew the spell, leaned down, put her lips close to Jing Yang's mouth, and spit out a fairy qi into Jing Yang's mouth, which was slowly inhaled by Jing Yang, and suddenly, Jing Yang's face became ruddy.

She looked at Jingyang for a long time, and after a long time, she turned around, walked back to the front of the attic, sat down and stroked the piano, and the sound of the piano like a breeze and bright moon sounded again. Drift into the distance.

She flicked it once or twice, as if remembering something, frowned, and looked at the picture on the lake, revealing a loving gaze. In the picture, the people in Nanyang City are crowding and shouting, going to Taihua Mountain, the Holy Concubine Temple. There are crowds of people, and tens of thousands of people are surging, and the water surrounding the entire Holy Concubine Temple is impassable.

"Everyone, kneel down quickly! Kowtow to the Holy Concubine! Let her old man tell God, plead for mercy, what evil things have you done, you have to tell her old man! Otherwise, God will punish us." Uncle A said.

Then all the people fell to their knees.

"I stole a chicken last year. ”

"I committed adultery with the widow of the Liu family last month. ”

"Since I took office, I have searched for people's fat and people's ointment. ”

…… Seeing such a picture, she burst out laughing. I saw her fingertips swipe, fingers flicked, and a small purple dot sank into the lake.

In the temple of the Holy Concubine, the jade-white statue of the Holy Concubine Niangniang emitted a faint soft light.

"The Holy Concubine has appeared. Miaozhu shouted first. Miaozhu is an old woman in her fifties.

"Ah! The Holy Concubine has appeared. And the people knelt down and prostrated their heads.

"Lord County Keeper has arrived!" At this time, Fang Zhi, the county guard of Nanyang County, brought a group of bureaucratic subordinates and some respected village gentlemen to come to the incense. Zhou Hong led 3,000 officers and soldiers to guard the surroundings of the Holy Concubine Temple, vigilant and vigilant.

"See your lord!" the people gave way, and Fang Zhi led everyone to the Holy Concubine Temple.

"Everyone, get up!" Fang Zhi smiled faintly.

"Didn't the adults tell you to stay in the city, why did you all run out?" Zhou Hong said loudly. He sent soldiers to surround the temple of the Holy Concubine, but Zhou Hong underestimated the piety of the people of Nanyang County to the Holy Concubine. Fang Zhi had indeed sent people to recover the people before Zhou Hong came to ask for instructions, and the people eventually returned to the city. Fang Zhi also issued an edict: he would lead the gentry to the Holy Concubine Temple to worship incense after three days, and strictly forbade the people to go without permission. Obviously, the people ignored Fang Zhi's edict.

"Hmph, you dare to bring weapons into the Holy Concubine Temple, you are disrespectful to the Holy Concubine!" a Confucian stood up, pointed at Zhou Hong and said coldly.

"Yes, put down your weapons, or the Holy Concubine will punish us." And said to the people.

"Yes, General Zhou quickly put down his weapon, three days ago, two suns were born in the sky, and if General Zhou uses his sword again today, the Holy Concubine Niangniang will definitely not forgive us." Said Citizen B.

"Get out, get out, don't defile the holy temple of the Holy Concubine!" said the people.

"Get out! Get out!" One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the huge courtyard outside the Holy Concubine Temple was crowded by the people of Nanyang County at this time, and they were furious, they did not allow anyone to be disrespectful to the Holy Concubine.

Seeing that the people were about to drive away the officers and soldiers, Fang Zhi stopped it in time, and he said loudly: "Folks, folks, everyone listen to me. When the people saw that the county keeper had spoken, they all fell silent. "You have misunderstood General Zhou, how dare he offend the Holy Concubine Niangniang, it was my order for him to bring troops here, and General Zhou brought troops to protect everyone. ”

"Is it true?" asked the common man.

"It's true. Fang Zhi nodded and said, "Don't you all believe me?"

"Lord Fang is a good official, we believe in you!" the people shouted in unison.

"Okay, since everyone believes me, then, now let's worship the Holy Concubine!" Fang Zhi said with a smile.

"Good!" the people cheered.

Fang Zhi straightened his clothes and said to Zhou Hong, "You go out." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Hong led three thousand officers and soldiers to retreat outside the Holy Concubine Temple.

Fang Zhi knelt down with incense candles in his hand, and the squires and people behind him also knelt down. "The contemptible Nanyang County Shou Fang Zhi bows to the Holy Concubine Niangniang, and may the Holy Concubine Niangniang be immortal forever. Pray that the Holy Concubine Niangniang will bless me with the longevity of the Shu Kingdom, His Majesty the Emperor will rule by virtue, and the world will be bowed to the world, and the country will be safe. Pray for the blessing of my Nanyang County, the wind and rain will be smooth every year, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and share the peaceful and prosperous world. The great gift is complete, and Fu Wei is still feasting!"

After Fang Zhi finished speaking, he led the people to bow three more times before getting up, he waved his sleeves, "Salute!" Ten virgins held delicate food boxes in their hands, walked over slowly, walked to the jade statue of the holy concubine, and placed these food boxes on several cases under the statue. These food boxes are filled with sacred spring jade water, which is the holy water offered to the holy concubine. Then ten more virgins came in, also holding a food box, which was full of fruit, a milky white fruit, a bit like a cherry, but much larger than a cherry. The milky white fruit grows on the mountainside of the Jade Girl Peak, and it is said that this ice muscle fruit can make people's face last forever, and it is extremely difficult to pick.

After the offerings, Fang Zhi and the people waited quietly, waiting for the Holy Concubine to speak. Most of the immortals worshiped in the world, very few can speak to mortals, however, the holy concubine Niangniang is one of the immortals.

"I know what I mean, don't be afraid, there is still only one sun in the sky. As for the two suns that appeared three days ago, they were the sun gods of the heavenly realm who passed by in chariots, so you don't have to worry, they are all scattered. The jade statue of the Holy Concubine exuded a faint light, and after a while, the light gradually dissipated.

"Great!"

"It turned out to be the chariot of the sun god!"

"It's better to be a holy concubine!"

……

"Since the Holy Concubine said that it was okay, it was all right. Fang Zhi walked to the crowd of people, "Everyone, let's hurry back to the city." ”

"Let's go home!"

"the kid, don't forget to bring the old hen back, we still expect it to lay eggs! ”

"Fool! The old lady's face has been lost by you! Then the holy concubine is a fairy, how can she eat our old hen?"

……

After a while, the crowd dispersed, and the lively Shengfei Temple suddenly became deserted. Miao Zhu looked at the departing people, shook his head, and wiped the dust on the jade statue of the holy concubine with a sackcloth, she wiped it gently, and muttered: "This group of nasty mortals is finally gone!";
