Chapter 275: The Legend of the Fox Fairy

Ye Chao knew that his demon heart had been formed, and he was already a real big devil, once he came into contact with the Heavenly Master here, it was very likely that he would be in danger - if the Heavenly Master of this generation wanted to eliminate the Demon Guardian Dao in anger, it would be fun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Good and evil are not mutually exclusive, so Ye Chao is taking a big risk this time.

However, even if he went to Wudang and contacted the Taoist chief there, it was possible that the result would be similar.

If there is no Taoism, why should Ye Chao contact it?

Ye Chao has a demonic path, but he wants to learn the right way of the Dao and use the Dao to control the demon, once he can balance the demon heart and the Dao heart, then the demon path will no longer be the only master of Ye Chao's body and mind.

If you haven't tried it, how do you know it won't work?

In fact, there is a beautiful legend about the fox fairy about the heavenly master of Longhu Mountain.

This legend made Ye Chao feel that good and evil may not necessarily be separated.

The legend goes like this:

In the spring of March in Chongning of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Heavenly Master's Mansion was full of flowers, and thousands of trees were competing for green, a scene full of vitality.

The thirtieth generation of Heavenly Master Xujing Gong got up early in the morning, and according to the daily practice, he would meditate in the "Three Provinces Hall" every day, and then wash and eat.

He had just finished his luck that day, when he suddenly heard a huge thunder sweeping across the sky, followed by lightning flashing, thunder, and suddenly a dark cloud rose, quite like a thunderstorm.

The Void Jing Heavenly Master stepped out of the "Three Provinces Hall", looked up at the sky, and felt that today was a little abnormal, so he pinched his fingers and calculated: Well, there will be demons.

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a young beauty in a yellow shirt kneeling in front of the Heavenly Master panting, prostrating and bowing, saying, "Heavenly Master Zhenren, please save me", crying as she spoke.

"Who are you? Be honest! The Void Celestial Master sensed the demonic aura and asked with a straight face.

The beautiful woman in the yellow shirt trembled and said to the Heavenly Master: "I, I am a fox spirit, I have been cultivating for two thousand years, and I am about to achieve a positive result, so I have experienced this great calamity." Heavenly Court ordered Lei Gong, Lei Po wants to kill me, please be merciful to Heavenly Master and save my life."

The vixen prostrated as he spoke.

"All demons must be killed, isn't it a carbuncle to save you?" The Void Jing Heavenly Master reprimanded sternly.

"Heavenly Master Zhenren, it's not a pity for me to die, but I'm pregnant and will give birth soon. Heaven cleaved me to death, but the baby in my womb is innocent...... The vixen wept silently.

After listening to the cry of the fox spirit, the Void Jing Heavenly Master was quite compassionate. I thought, "All things are born and there are living beings." Despite the vixen's disgusting nature, the fox babies in her womb cannot be strained. If the fox spirit can change evil and turn from good, isn't it also a righteous act? ”

So, he pointed to the vixen and said, "If you want this Heavenly Master to rescue you, you can, but you have to follow three things."

The vixen kowtowed and asked, "What are the three things?"

The Celestial Master replied, "First, you must fast, and you are not allowed to mutilate other animals; second, choose a place to live in seclusion, and not harass the people; Thirdly, we must be humane, chant sutras in the morning and evening, change evil from good, and do good deeds for the people."

The vixen swore an oath: "I will do it, and I will never violate it." If there is disobedience, he is willing to die."

When the Void Celestial Master saw that she had repentance, he called her to stand up and take the ordination. Then he led several Taoist disciples to the ancestral heavenly master hall to burn incense and light candles, and sent a message to the heavenly court, explaining the reason for pardoning the fox spirit. The Jade Emperor received the "Proclamation Document" from the Heavenly Master, so he ordered Lei Gong and Lei Po to collect their troops and return to their homes, so that they did not have to look for fox spirits.

After a while, the sky was clear again. It presents a scene of blue sky and spring.

The fox said goodbye to the Heavenly Master with gratitude, and since then he has lived in seclusion in Yuntai Mountain, eating mountain fruits and concentrating on cultivation. Soon gave birth to a white and chubby little girl, named "Little White Fairy".

More than a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the matter of the Void Jing Heavenly Master saving the fox spirit has been forgotten by the world.

During the Shaoding period of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a big flood in Jiangxi, and after the flood, there was a plague. Many people in Zixi, Lichuan, and Anren (now Yujiang) counties died of the plague, which made people panic.

Many ordinary people came to the Heavenly Master's Mansion in groups and asked Zhang Tianshi to "ward off evil spirits".

At that time, the thirty-fifth generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Keda was in power. This Heavenly Master is profound. He once struck a great snake with thunder.

He took a few mages to look around and found that it was not the work of demons, but the spread of "mountain rash qi" (also known as miasma). If left untreated, it will soon spread, and I don't know how many people will die.

Master Zhang Ke is well versed in medicine and knows that the best cure for this disease is "spider plant". However, "spider plants" grow in cliff caves, which are difficult to climb and pick.

Although many people were sent to pick "spider plants", they couldn't pick a few catties a day, and they were far from extinguishing the plague.

Zhang Ke Great Heavenly Master had nothing to do.

The next day, when everyone was still picking "spider plants", they suddenly saw a large group of foxes jumping like flying, hanging "spider plants" and sending them to the feet of the heavenly master, and after a while, several sacks of "spider plants" were sent.

The local people thought it was the manifestation of the Heavenly Master.

In fact, Great Heavenly Master Zhang Ke was also very confused. Later, I thought about it carefully: I heard the ancestor say that the Xujing Heavenly Master once saved a fox spirit, and guessed that it might be a fox fairy to repay the favor.

He immediately sent someone to decoct the "spider plant" into a potion and give it to the patient to take, and sure enough, the medicine was cured. Later, someone wrote a poem praising it: "The Heavenly Master has miraculous merits, a dose of Danfang is used to eliminate diseases, and silver money is distributed to the victims, and the merits of real people will last forever."

In fact, only the fox repaid the favor and a few other mages knew about it.

It is said that later Zhang Ke also personally went to Yuntai Mountain to find the fox fairy to express his gratitude, but I don't know if he found it.

After more than 40 years, the dynasty changed, and Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, unified China.

One year, there was a great drought in the north, and there was no harvest, and it is said that the "capital" located in the north still had the occurrence of heat death, and even the queen mother and the crown prince were sick due to the heat. The hundred officials invited the emperor, and they all said that it was the "demon" who was the devil, and he had to invite Zhang Tianshi to come in order to eliminate the demon.

Zhang Zongyan, the thirty-sixth generation of Heavenly Master, received the holy decree and hurried into Beijing. But after looking around, except for the heat, there was no demonic smell at all. If you can't find a "demon", Zhang Tianshi can't cast a "law".

And the emperor's order could not be disobeyed, Zhang Zongyan Heavenly Master was so anxious that he was frightened.

In the post house, the night has been three watches, the moon and stars are scarce, there are no clouds, Zhang Tianshi can't sleep, and he meditates alone in the small garden. Suddenly, I saw a middle-aged woman and a girl like a flower and jade both come to the Heavenly Master and salute the Heavenly Master.

"Who are you, and I don't know what to say?" Zhang Tianshi asked.

"Heavenly Master, my mother and daughter have come to solve your problems. Are you worried about whether you can find a demon?" The middle-aged woman asked.

"Exactly, I don't know what the wise mother and daughter have planned?"

"This drought is not a demon's work, so you can't do anything about it. The reason is that when Wen Tianxiang's troops were defeated and retreated to the seaside, he worshiped the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Yuan Shizu killed Wen Tianxiang, and the Dragon King was furious, so there was this disaster. The Heavenly Master can initiate the emperor's imperial sacrifice Wen Tianxiang to eliminate grievances. My mother and daughter should sneak into the East China Sea and beg the Dragon King for rain to repay the kindness of the Heavenly Master." After the mother and daughter finished speaking, they immediately turned into a pair of foxes and flew away.

Zhang Zongyan Heavenly Master only suddenly realized at this time, and hurriedly bowed his hand to thank the fox fairy in the direction where he flew.

Because of this, there is the story of the three sacrifices of Yuan Shizu to Wen Tianxiang.

Not to mention that Zhang Tianshi played the emperor's imperial sacrifice Wen Tianxiang. However, it was said that the fox spirit came to the East China Sea, dressed as a Taoist priest, and held a letter of pleading from Master Zhang Tianshi, asking the Dragon King to send water. The Dragon King said, "We are building the Dragon Palace, and we have no time to take care of this matter. You can ask the Dragon King of the South Sea for help. ”

The fox fairy had no choice but to go all the way to see the Dragon King of the South China Sea, but the Dragon King of the South China Sea said: "The area around Beijing and Tianjin is not under my jurisdiction, and you can't send water, so you should go to the Dragon King of the East China Sea."

He waved his hand as he spoke, indicating his refusal. Although the fox fairy mother and daughter were treated coldly, they still did not lose heart, and once again rushed into the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, sincerely told the Dragon King about the drought, and begged the Dragon King to think of all living beings in the world, and not to be connected to the people because Yuan Shizu killed the loyal Wen Tianxiang in vain.

The Dragon King was moved and awakened, so he pulled out a rain card and instructed the Ninth Prince to assist the Heavenly Master in rainfall.

Because of Zhang Tianshi's meritorious prayer for rain, the Yuan Dynasty respected the Heavenly Master for a hundred years, and named Zhang Tianshi as the "Zhengyi Sect Master" in charge of the three mountains (Maoshan Mountain, Gesoap Mountain, Longhu Mountain) Fu Gong.

Due to Zhang Zong's sincere invitation to play the Heavenly Master, the fox fairy mother and daughter often came to the Heavenly Master's Mansion as guests, and Zhang Tianshi also specially vacated his daughter's embroidery building for the fox fairy mother and daughter to live. Since then, there has been a "Fox Fairy Building".

In the Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he was known as Ming Taizu.

He admired Zhang Tianshi very much, and once allocated a large amount of silver taels to expand the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and gave the amount of "Dazhen Mansion".

During the Hongwu period, Hangzhou Taishou Fei played the imperial court, saying that the West Lake was often haunted by ghosts, causing the beautiful scenery to be closed, and people did not dare to swim.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered Zhang Yuchu, a 43rd generation real person, to go to Hangzhou to eliminate harm for the people.

Zhang Yuchu really consulted with his entourage and decided to observe first, and then try to capture. The next day, I walked to the West Lake and saw that the lake was chasing waves, and there was a monster in the waves that looked like a mouse. The Heavenly Master concluded that this was the work of the "rat spirit".

Immediately thinking that the fox is the best nemesis of mice, he immediately burned incense and prayed, and invited the fox fairy to go to Qiantang to subdue the demon. The fox fairy received the order of the Heavenly Master, quickly came to Hangzhou, jumped into the lake, and captured the mouse spirit ashore in only a few rounds.

Zhang Tianshi ordered to stop and cut down, and then hang it on the lakeside to show the public.

Since then, the haunting of West Lake has subsided. The people who came to visit the West Lake all praised and said: Zhang Tianshi is really amazing, he killed the demon in one fell swoop, and our generations and grandchildren must remember the merits of the Heavenly Master.

After Zhang Yuchu Heavenly Master returned to the Heavenly Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain from Hangzhou, he immediately rushed to Yuntai Mountain to thank Huang and Bai and exchange Taoism with them. After all, the fox immortal has been cultivating for many years, and the Dao method is still above the Heavenly Master, and Zhang Yuchu Heavenly Master has also benefited a lot.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Zhang Yuchu to compile the "Daozang", at that time the transportation was inconvenient, and it was very difficult to collect the classics.

It is said that when the forty-third generation of Heavenly Masters was feathered, he left a decree: "For more than 100 years, the two foxes of Yuntai Mountain have made a lot of contributions to our Dao and have become immortal fruits." The Heavenly Master's Mansion can be used to make a golden body for him. ”

Zhang Yuqing, the forty-fourth generation of heavenly masters, obeyed his last orders, and turned the west living room into a "fox fairy hall" and sculpted a statue of a god.

This is the origin of the "Fox Fairy Hall", that is, the "Fox Fairy Hall" that can be seen today.
