Chapter Seventy-Three: Dingjiang Wang Temple is also known as Lao Ye Temple
"Dingjiang Wang Temple, also known as the old man's temple, once had a poem: the vast Pohu Lake water connects to the sky, and the waves swell compete first; Lianjiang Tonghai has a broad mind and nourishes living beings year after year. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe water of the five rivers on Poyang Lake is connected to the Yangtze River, and the water and sky are connected. There is a temple on the east bank of Poyang Lake, which is called Lao Ye Temple by the locals.
There is also a legend among the older generation, according to legend, when Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang fought against Poyang Lake, there was a time when Zhu Yuanzhang retreated to the lake, the lake blocked the way, and the boat was broken by the lake, and it was difficult to walk without rudder. At the critical juncture, there was suddenly a giant turtle (pronounced yuan two sounds, tong: yuan. Shaped like a turtle and Wang Ba, but it is their ancestor) swam to take the boat as the rudder and rescue Zhu Yuanzhang across the lake. After Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, he did not forget the old grace, named Ju Yuan as the general of Yuan, and built the Jiangwang Temple by the lake, which is commonly known as the Lao Ye Temple by the people.
As soon as you enter the temple gate, a giant turtle lies on the ground, four toes are stretched, and it carries a large stone tablet of thousands of catties with a height of more than one zhang, three feet wide and one foot thick, on which Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial pen writes "General Yingyuan with sealing" 7 golden characters, shining. Throughout the ages, folklore has it that this thousand pound of turtle spirit is a monster. For this reason, ships pass through here, and the boatmen have to go ashore to burn incense and paper, and kill livestock for sacrifice. There is a small stone in front of the temple, with the head and mouth facing the sky, drinking the blood of chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep that have been chopped off and cut off, and people beg for the blessing of General Yuan, and want to go up and down the boat smoothly under the protection of the god and the king.
The incense in the Lao Ye Temple is very prosperous, but tragedy still happens. Later, a life-saving red boat appeared on the lake. And the origin of this red boat has to start from the body of a man named Zhou Shanren. It is said that one night Zhou Shanren had a dream, and when he woke up, he told his wife diligently that it was the Bodhisattva of Dingjiang in the Lao Ye Temple, and asked him to open a pharmacy in the Lao Ye Temple to rescue the fishermen who often capsized and died there.
So, they opened a pharmacy next to the old man's temple. Zhou Shanren studied pharmacology diligently, and carefully prepared a kind of 'Jisheng water', which was poured into the water not long after falling into the water, and it would come back to life. The fishermen here call 'Jisheng Shui' 'Jixian Shui' and have treated many poor fishermen.
Once he saved an old monk, the old monk was grateful, parting to give him a pair of sturdy and beautiful straw sandals, the tips of the straw sandals decorated with a pair of big red flower balls, the old monk said to him: 'Take it, you wear it, you will be blessed with longevity.' It turned out that this old monk was a god who had attained immortality.
Since then, Zhou Shanren has worn these straw sandals when he goes out for treatment. It is not hot to wear on your feet in summer, and not cold to wear on your feet in winter. One day at dusk, Zhou Shanren was called to the clinic. He boarded the boat driven by the man, and after a while, a dark cloud suddenly rose over the lake in the distance, and then lightning and thunder roared, and the lake was so black that he could not see his fingers, and a small mountain-like wave rushed towards the boat, and the boat was overturned by the huge waves, and the two fell into the raging waves and struggled.
At this critical moment, the straw sandals on Zhou Shanren's feet fell off and turned into two brand-new large wooden boats, and the red flower balls on the shoes radiated red light and turned into a pair of red lights, illuminating the dark Poyang Lake. Zhou Shanren, who fell into the water, and the young man who sought medical treatment soon got on the boat.
At this time, the ships on Poyang Lake that were lost in the wind cheered when they saw the red light, "Red boat, red boat", and the red boat turned all the ships that encountered danger at that time into safety.
Later, the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty encountered a risk after passing through Poyang Lake, and the red boat went to rescue him. The emperor was very appreciative of the Red Boat, gave it the title of 'Life-Saving Red Boat', and issued a holy decree: no government can use it. Later, during the Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek ordered appropriations for the maintenance of the Red Ship. The red boats in the waters of Lao Ye Temple on Poyang Lake have been passed down from generation to generation..."
In the conference room, I looked at where Wang Qinze was talking endlessly, and shook my head speechlessly, the previous leader of the Rory barbars came back, "Team leader, why are you talking to a few of us about this?"
Wang Qinze finally stopped, "The superiors assigned us to investigate the waters of the Lao Ye Temple, so I am here to popularize knowledge points for you again, so that you don't go to the place like headless flies."
"The waters of the Old Man Temple? Investigate where to do it"
"Because you know that Panyang Lake dried up in the early stage, and now the degree of dryness is increasing unabated, and the country is now considering two points: first, why Panyang Lake is dry, and whether it can find a reason and let it flow again; Second, there are often ships shipwrecked in the waters of the Lao Ye Temple, but no wreckage remains can be found afterwards, so I want us to see if we can get any useful information."
"Eh, team leader, aren't you afraid that we will not be able to come back like those people if we go" The honest Mo Xiaodong asked stupidly.
Hearing Mo Xiaodong's question, all of us were nearly twenty people present, and we were speechless.
Wang Qinze coughed embarrassedly, "Xiaodong, those people can't come back because there was water in Panyang Lake before, but now there is no water, do you think something will happen to you?"
Mo Xiaodong thought about it for a while, and replied seriously: "This is not impossible"
ā¦
"Xiaodong, don't worry, you just take care of the house at home, it's okay" Wang Qinze looked at Mo Xiaodong and was about to speak, and hurriedly said again, "Yesterday, Qi Mengyao sent news that he had completed the task and was rushing back, our casualties were very large, Wei Yi, where did your subordinates come and go, and they also died heroically"
"Alas~" I sighed heavily.
"Also, Qi Mengyao and they overfulfilled the task this time, allowing some countries to stand on the opposite side of the United States, and moreover, they also interfered with the election of the United States some time ago, and the country was very pleased, so the special commendation, Qi Mengyao and Shangguan Qing were awarded special merits, and the other entourages were recorded as second-class merits, sacrificed personnel, martyrs, and additional second-class merits. When the time comes, you will talk to them, because Meng Yao and they will not be able to come back in three or four days, and the superiors ask us to set off to Panyang Lake now, because now there are more and more tourists in the old man temple, and some international thieves and other dangerous people are also looking at where they are, and it will change later."
"Team leader, who are you going to take this time?"
"This mission is special, using the registration method, Long Cheng, you have to stay with Wei Yi, in case, where we are unfortunately staying, you and Wei Yi and the people who stay will take care of our home"
"Eh, why do I want to stay, I want to go too" I heard that Wang Qinze actually asked me to stay, I don't know what emotion I had, in short, I was not happy.
"Then you give me a reason to go"
"Iā" I suddenly realized that I had no reason at all, "but if I didn't go, what reason would I have to deal with my teammates." Yes, that's my choice, but deep down in my heart I also yearn for revenge, not to become stronger, how to talk about revenge, and I think this may be an opportunity for us, because after you finished speaking, there was a voice in my heart saying to me, I must go, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"I didn't understand what you said or what you meant, but it felt a little right."
"I don't know how to feel it," Mo Xiaodong interjected on the side.
"Mm-hmm, yes, what you said made me feel unaware. Wait, Mo Xiaodong, what are you doing day by day, playing with me if you are wise and foolish, what a new word"
"Online" Mo Xiaodong smiled embarrassedly.
"If you don't learn well day by day, Chinese culture is broad and profound, you haven't learned to walk, do you want to run, and when you memorize Chinese culture by heart and integrate it, you are thinking about changing. Imagination without capital as the cornerstone, that is a dream, such a dream is equivalent to hemp rope to tofu, don't mention it"
"Oh"
"Team leader, it seems that I'm talking about signing up to go to Panyang Lake now, it's off topic," Li Yu reminded loudly.
"Yes, is it off topic again" Wang Qinze rolled his eyes and thought for a while, "Then start signing up now, the quota is only four people, you see which of you goes"
"Me"
"Me"
"Me"
"Me"
I, Li Yu, Zhao Daye, and Lao Wang, who had a dormitory next door to me, the four of us stood up as soon as Wang Qinze's voice fell.
Wang Qinze glanced at me and shook his head speechlessly, "Okay, clean up, ten minutes later, the airport will turn, Wei Yi, you and Long Cheng will hand over the affairs of your dragon eye and soul search, this time, I don't know if I can come back."
"Uh-huh, I see"
Ten minutes later, I arrived at the airport after handing over to Long Cheng and got on the plane that was waiting for me. The five of us flew away from the base under the eyes of Long Cheng and other dragon envoys, and through the window on the plane, we looked at the base that was getting smaller and smaller in our sight and finally disappeared, and unconsciously remembered Master Zu Hao, and remembered when he was with me.
Wait, I remember what the master once said, "Your entire galaxy is called one plane, and there are eighty-one planes like yours, and there are nine dominating heavens above your eighty-one planes, and there are six thousand five hundred and sixty-one small heavens and earths below your eighty-one planes."
Could it be, under the waters of the Lao Ye Temple in Panyang Lake, it is a small world, if this is the case, then all this seems to be explained"
I hurriedly told Wang Qinze about my idea, and he also said that it was not impossible to do so, and that the pressure of the five of us was as big as the mountain, and it turned into anticipation in an instant, maybe, as I said, this may be an opportunity for us.
