In the southeast of the Zhongtian Continent, there is a mortal kingdom called Chen Guo. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe area of the Chen country is not large, a mountain range called 'Geshan' lies across its southern boundary, forming a natural barrier of the Chen country, and further south, it is the wild Baiyue country. At the western end of the Katsuyama Range, a mountain peak rises abruptly opposite Mount Katsuraku, which is known as Mt. Shiratake. Between the two mountains, there is a clear river running through it, and this river is called Baisha River.
Mt. Harakak is a dojo that is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. Hundreds of Taoist temples of different sizes are scattered among the clouds and mist, looking ethereal and ethereal from afar, and the view is magnificent up close. And the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain is unusually grand, the plaque is even more eye-catching, when the sun rises when the clouds open, the four gilded characters on the plaque "Taisu Shanggong" are even more shining. It is said that this is the imperial inscription written by the first emperor himself. In that year, the first emperor had sent a special envoy to Taisu Palace to ask for an heir, and then he gave birth to the current emperor very effectively, the first emperor was overjoyed, and personally inscribed "Taisu Palace" four big characters, given to Taisu Palace. As a result, the reputation of Taisu Palace was greatly enhanced, and there was an endless stream of people who came to ask for an heir.
On this morning, a middle-aged woman with a yellow face and thin muscles walked at the foot of Baiyue Mountain. The woman looked reverent, stepped up the steps of the mountain, and bowed down in three steps. It was the middle of winter, and when the cold wind blew, the woman shivered, but she still maintained the rules of every bow. Gradually, blood oozed from the woman's forehead. Pedestrians passing by occasionally glance a few times, but soon pass by as if nothing happened.
After three or four hours, the woman finally climbed the two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, and a small square appeared in front of her, and a cliff of one hundred and ten zhang high stood on the opposite side of the square, and a stone tablet stood next to the cliff, on which were written "Hundred Immortal Cliffs".
Baixian Cliff is the only way to go to Taisu Palace, bypass Baixian Cliff, and then climb ninety-nine steps, you will arrive at Taisu Palace.
The woman sighed and struggled to get up, but her legs were weak and she was about to fall, when a strong woman came from behind and helped her.
"Yo! Isn't this Yun Erniang, ahhh Take a break! As she spoke, the sturdy woman took Yun Erniang in her arms and slowly sat down on the stone bench by the square.
Yun Erniang saw that it was Aunt Sun from the house next door, so she showed a smile, gasped and said, "Aunt Sun, why are you here too?" …… Thanks! ”
"Ahem! Zhao Di's father has not been looking forward to having a son, I heard that this Taisu Palace is extremely effective, so he urged me to come over to incense, but I didn't expect to meet you here! After speaking, Aunt Sun glanced at Yun Erniang again, took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood stains on Yun Erniang's forehead, and sighed: "Hi ......"
It turned out that Aunt Sun and Yun Erniang lived together in Chengkan Town at the foot of Geshan. The Yun family is in the east of the town, and a few households to the west are the Sun family. Yun Erniang is the continuation of Daddy Yun in the town. In Chengkan Town, Daddy Yun's family is a relatively wealthy family, with more than 30 acres of fertile land, five old mansions handed down from their ancestors, and a mountain goods business. Father Yun often goes to the county seat to trade, and he is considered a more knowledgeable person, so he is quite respected by the townspeople, and he is also elected as an elder by the Yun family in the town. Aunt Sun's husband --- Uncle Sun often help in the Yun family, so they also regard the Yun family as their owner. It's just that after this Yun Erniang continued to arrive at the Yun family, she rarely walked around the town, otherwise, Aunt Sun knew that she was going to enter the incense, and she would definitely accompany her as a companion.
Aunt Sun knew Yun Erniang's taciturn character, so she didn't say much, but after taking a few more glances at Yun Erniang, she sighed to herself.
Aunt Sun knew that in the Yun family, Yun Erniang was almost an old mother. It's not that Daddy Yun doesn't want to see Yun Erniang, but the Yun family's daughter-in-law, Diao, has never treated Yun Erniang as a stepmother, and she yelled at Yun Erniang, as if she was calling in front of a servant.
Yun Dad and his deceased wife also only gave birth to one son, called Yun Hai, this Yun Hai was cowardly by nature, but he married a fierce and pungent wife - Diao's family, this Diao family relies on the background of a brother in the Jianghu gang, not only at home, but even in the town, is also very arrogant. The father of the Yun family runs the mountain goods business, and sometimes he has to rely on the brother of the Diao family, so the father of the Yun family has to tolerate the Diao family. Yun Erniang could only swallow her anger, she originally wanted to be able to give birth to a son and a half heir, and she had something to rely on in the second half of her life, but she had been to the Yun family for more than ten years, and she couldn't conceive a child, so Yun Erniang came to Baiyue Mountain silently to ask for a child.
And this Aunt Sun, who is forty years old, somehow, didn't give birth to a daughter until three years ago. Uncle Sun was eager for his son, so he named his daughter Zhaodi. As she said, today it was Uncle Sun who urged her to incense, but she happened to meet Yun Erniang.
The two women sat together and said some words of comfort to each other. Seeing that it was getting late, Yun Erniang got up and urged Aunt Sun to say, "Let's go up!" ”。
As soon as she got up, Yun Erniang felt dizzy, so she had to sit back and say, "It's better for you to go first, I want to rest for a while!" ”
"Are you alright?" Aunt Sun looked at Yun Erniang a few more times uneasily.
"It's okay, you go first!" Yun Erniang waved her hand lightly and said.
"Alright then, I'll wait for you up there!" Aunt Sun understood Yun Erniang's personality, and when she saw that it was not early, she got up and walked towards Taisu Palace.
After seeing Aunt Sun leave, Yun Erniang sighed lightly again, and slowly raised her head to look at the Baixian Cliff opposite.
This hundred immortal cliffs are more than 100 zhang high, and the cliff face is full of holes. It is said that if you look closely, you can see many strange faces. Legend has it that these faces are the marks left by the immortals, so this cliff is named Baixian Cliff.
Yun Erniang had also heard this kind of legend, so she tried to condense and stared at the cliff face. At this look, Yun Erniang vaguely found that a thousand strange faces appeared on the cliff face, and the natural holes turned into facial features. Some of these faces are hideous, some are sad, some are laughing, and their expressions are very rich! When she was surprised, Yun Erniang suddenly felt that a delicate face was smiling at her, and seemed to be out of the cliff and rushed towards her! Yun Erniang was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back, and when she opened her eyes again, Baixian Cliff returned to its appearance full of holes.
Yun Erniang stood up tremblingly, trembling around the Hundred Immortal Cliff, and hurriedly climbed towards Taisu Palace.
After returning from Baiyue Mountain, perhaps frightened, Yun Erniang didn't think about tea and dinner, and became thinner and thinner. Daddy Yun invited Lang Zhong to take a pulse, and Lang Zhong actually waved at Daddy Yun and said, "Congratulations to Daddy, congratulations to Erniang!" Erniang is pregnant! ”
Hearing what Lang Zhong said, Father Yun was stunned at first, and then smiled, quickly sealed some broken silver, stuffed it to Lang Zhong, and personally sent it out of the door. After listening to Lang Zhong's words, Yun Erniang first sighed, and then couldn't help but shed tears.
When he is old and will have a child, Daddy Yun is naturally happy, but while he is happy, he is also a little worried. On weekdays, the housework of the Yun family is all handled by Erniang, and the daughter-in-law Diao is a master who stretches out his hands for clothes and opens his mouth for food. But now that Erniang is pregnant and weak, when Lang Zhong left, he repeatedly emphasized that he wanted Erniang to recuperate more, housework, and the daughter-in-law could not count on it, it seems that only a helper can take care of the housework.
When Daddy Yun thought about it, the first thing he thought of was to ask Aunt Sun to come over to help. So, Daddy Yun came to Sun's house. After explaining his intentions, Uncle Sun first congratulated him, and then said with a smile: "My aunt is also pregnant!" ”
Daddy Yun was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a while, how could it be so coincidental? Helpless, Daddy Yun was about to get up and go to other people's homes, but Aunt Sun said: "The owner, our Zhuang family, is not so delicate, even if I am pregnant, do some housework, it is not in the way, I am not pregnant for the first time, besides, I am very close to Erniang!" ”
This Aunt Sun actually agreed to it, and Father Yun was naturally very happy, so he left some broken silver and went back happily.
