Regardless of whether this pavilion and treasure are related to blue jade or not, it is most important to find the location of the depiction of the landscape map at the moment, and the old man called Hanwa to move on. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Leaving the resting peak, the mountain began to go down, and the road went a lot faster, and the Wangyang Peak that Hanwa said was getting closer and closer, but the Wangshan Mountain was running to death, and it looked near but far away.

The old man walked all the way, looking all the way from the mountain to the location of the White Emperor Temple, not letting go of any possible angle, but the mountains were heavy, and he really found nothing.

However, the peak type of this Wangyang Peak has a bit of meaning, even if the other peaks are high, they are also supplemented by mountain stones as the main plants, and the type is like the tip of a pen, but this mountain peak is extremely densely vegetated, the trees are low and grassy, and the stone appearance can hardly be seen, and it is very round from a distance, just like a monk's head.

Seeing that it is approaching noon, the mountain begins to steepen, this is about to reach the top, all the way up, really like the feeling when looking at it from afar, the trees here are dense and towering, only a path that the mountain people shuttle all year round, the more you go up, the more you can't see the sky, because the trees are too high, and only the sun leaves on the ground.

Now the turn of spring and summer is close to noon, walking here is particularly cool, even Wangcai is a lot brisk, after a few steep slopes, Hanwa sat down to rest, but the old man was confused, why did this arrive? There are still tall trees on all sides, how can there be a feeling of sudden opening up on the top of the mountain?

"This mountain is like this, the trees are very tall and dense, if you don't feel it all year round, you really pass it unconsciously."

"Is this still called Wangyang Peak? Everything is covered, and the Dead Man's Bay and the White Emperor Temple can't be seen? ”

"Hehe, yes, I'll take you."

I saw Hanwa pointing to the distance and walked straight over, through a small dense forest, I saw a boulder protruding from the top of the mountain, this is the type of tree covering stone that is often found in the mountain, Hanwa stood there and beckoned the old man to go over, standing on the boulder, but the surrounding trees are not all covered, looking out from an unobstructed angle, the field of vision is very broad.

The old man fixed it at a glance, yes, this is the angle from which the landscape map is depicted!

Follow the direction of Hanwa, in the left hand direction is the White Emperor Temple, a boxy building, its right front is a far away and a near two peaks, in the middle near the peak of a long pine tree, just like the eye-catching thousand-year-old Wangyun pine on the cliff of Yellow Mountain, below it, is a big river.

The old man was secretly happy in his heart, it seems that this is indeed a treasure map, the landmarks are completely correct, and this treasure is definitely in the Bay of the Dead. Now just make sure that the full moon reflected in the picture under the Wangyun Pinaso is not a treasure spot!

"Hanwa, is that river in Dead Man's Bay?"

"Yes, that's a section of Dead Man's Bay, and all three bays here are long."

"Is that river deep?"

"It's not deep, it's wide, but it's almost broken in autumn and winter, and we have cold winters here, so it's especially obvious when it's dry."

"Did your grandfather say that you can only see this place at noon, and not at night?"

"That's right, it's noon now, so I can see clearly, I sometimes come back late from the county seat, and I pass by here, and it's still foggy there."

The old man calculated, since this is the case, it is impossible to use the moon to locate that night, and the distance is too far, and the moon is moving, and if you want to see a small reflection from here, unless you have clairvoyance, it is impossible at all, it seems that the full moon by the river is actually the mark of the place, just under the Wangyun pine!

After determining the authenticity and location of the treasure map, the two men continued to move forward, and Hanwa said that they had reached Chakou Mountain in front, and turned around to the White Emperor Peak.

Along the way, the old man began to plan, now that the authenticity and location have been determined, he should start preparing for the excavation, the legend of the Dead Man's Bay makes the locals regard it as a forbidden area, which just improves the concealment of the excavation, but the evil things that the chief has personally experienced must also be taken into account.

The rest of the journey was unremarkable, the old man chatted more and more with Hanwa, and promised to open a private school, let Hanwa go to school for free, and teach him the things learned from the West.

This place is really like its name, the mountains begin to fork from here, one of them turns inward at an almost right angle, and on the opposite side of it is a downward mountain road, obviously much wider, Hanwa said that this is the nearest road from the mountain to Beizhen, about a dozen miles.

"Are there many people coming from Beizhen to worship the White Emperor Temple?"

"Not much, this White Emperor Temple is originally worshiped by our mountain people, outsiders have their own temples in the city, and the road is not easy to walk, even the mountain people do not often go, but on September 9, the White Emperor's birthday worship is the most, all go to the incense to give thanks, now there should be no one at this time."

"Have you repaired it over the years? It won't be very shabby. ”

"That's not going to happen, don't look at us here as poor, but people are kind and know how to be grateful, and those who have won the treasure will also take it out to support them if they have spare money after they are rescued."

"What's in there?"

"There are two pieces, I don't know what to say, people in the mountains are illiterate, and they are not good at this."

The two of them said that they went to the White Emperor Peak, it seems that the people in the mountains do really worship the White Fox Emperor, a stone slab mountain road is particularly conspicuous, it is easy to go up to the top of the mountain, you can see the White Emperor Temple at a glance, boxy, paint the wall with white ash, the top is the most ordinary hard mountaintop structure, a positive ridge and four vertical ridges, covered with tiles, there is a lotus seat on the main ridge, a round of full moon on the seat, below are two red foxes looking back, this structure is easy to determine is the building after the Ming Dynasty.

Standing on the front, there is a plaque on the top, which reads the White Emperor Temple, and the lower woodcut couplets are arranged on both sides of the temple gate, and the book reads:

"Compassion for the original mother, the White Fox Emperor of the world"

The old man solemnly bowed to the temple door, and then strode in, pushed open the temple door, only to see a stone carved lotus seat standing on the rectangular stone platform, a person stretched out his arm width, sitting on a white fox statue, wearing a colorful fairy robe, his arms bent on his knees, his ears were upright, his eyes were slightly closed, the tip of his nose was smiling downward, and his four paws were hidden by the fairy robe, only the white tail was wrapped around the side from behind, and the whole statue was very solemn, and there was no fox and evil spirit at all.

There are several spiritual runes under the Xuantian on both sides of the statue, all are Taoist charms, there is a Buddha shrine on the main wall, which enshrines Guanyin Bodhisattva, there is an offering table in front of the stone platform, there is an incense burner, and under the incense burner is a straw mat, which is used for people to kneel and worship.

The old man immediately knelt on the straw mat, clasped his hands together, and prayed sincerely in his heart:

"Not only Lu Yunling, get a treasure map to rush to the fairy land, there is no intention of disturbing the purity, if you can open the door to see the treasure, then I am willing to donate most of it to repair the temple to relieve the mountain people, now to the fairy land, from the mouth of the villagers to learn that the White Emperor Xianzun blesses one side, thanks to the mercy of the immortal, may the immortal bless me, and see the treasure!"

After thinking about it, he solemnly kowtowed three heads, and when the third head was knocked down, the old man vaguely heard a soft lament, and couldn't help but open his eyes in shock, it was also strange, it seemed to be the reason for the illusion or light and shadow, the solemn white fox actually gave birth to a sad expression, the old man blinked violently, and felt that this expression was back to normal.

Hanwa said happily on the side, the old man worshipped, and he would be blessed if he went to the city to make a living.

"Mr. Lu, don't you want to see the stone stele? Follow me. ”

Sure enough, there are two stone tablets in the corner on the side of the stone platform, the size is more than one person high, one is relatively new, written in regular letters, the age of the payment is Daoguang 20 years, the author is unknown, the legend of the White Emperor is recorded in the full text, it is nothing more than the same as the legend of the people in the mountains, and it is also mentioned that the White Emperor warned not to be greedy for it, but there is a sentence that there was this temple in the Spring and Autumn Yan Kingdom, and then the successive dynasties have been reshaped and rebuilt, this is a stone tablet of a relatively recent age.

The other stele is obviously older, and the surface has been weathered, but fortunately there are only four words on it from top to bottom: "White Emperor Yiran". This should mean to praise the White Fox Emperor for always bless the mountains without the slightest change.

"Hanwa, do you know who erected this stone monument?"

Hanwa shook her head, the old man looked at this stele carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was nondescript.

The stele began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, before all to the beast armor, bronze, the casting tripod inscription, the former is the oracle bone inscription, which is also the Guangxu time of the country of the prince of the Wang Yirong found, and the bronze casting on the tripod on the text is called Jinwen, since the Great Qin unified the six countries, Li Si compiled a small seal, and then the Han Dynasty began to prevail in the official book, to the Tang is the regular script, so there is a Qin seal Han subordinate to Tang Kai said.

But the words on this stele are not official books, non-regular scripts, at a glance I thought it was a small seal, but carefully distinguished, in addition to the word "one", the remaining three words are slightly different from the small seal, such as the white word, the upper part of the small seal is a vertical, but here it is like a mountain, and the emperor word, originally the middle is a horizontal and half circle, but here it is directly connected into an inverted triangle, and the lower part of the word is fire, but here also the fire under the apostrophe and the pinch are connected into a regular triangle.

Could this font be changed at random by the writer? No, this font is called Gu 籀 (zhou) Wen, which belongs to the text before the Great Qin, and the old man has seen it on bronze and casting tripods, and Xu Shen recorded more than 200 of this font in the heavy text of "Shuowen Jie Zi".

Zhou Dynasty until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although the meaning of the words of the various vassal states is the same, but the glyph difference is confused, the words used at that time can be attributed to the Zhouwen, but the Great Qin inherited the character system of the Great Zhou, and the inheritance is the most orthodox, so Li Si simply corrected the glyph, deleted the heavy characters, and finally determined the standard small seal, so far the text is unified.

This is interesting, this stone tablet that no one has left a name is obviously something after the Han Dynasty, but it has to use the ancient Chinese script in a new way, what does this mean? Do you want to advance the history of the White Emperor Temple?

"Mr. Lu, how long did you say this White Emperor Temple is?"

"I don't know, but I don't think it should be in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was more than 2,000 years ago, and this was indeed the territory of Yan at that time, but there was no evidence left to prove that it was related to Yan Kingdom, I don't dare to speculate."

"But one thing is for sure, the legend definitely doesn't last that long."

As soon as the old man first heard this legend, he concluded that it might have appeared after the Ming Dynasty, because it involved the relationship between foreign religions and local religions, and also involved the time when Buddhism entered China.

From this time, Buddhism can be regarded as entering the Middle Earth, but after Buddhism began to flourish in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it has been in a situation of competition with Confucianism and Taoism for a long time.

As for Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Jade Emperor mixed together, this is purely a folk belief, the common people do not have an absolute religious distinction, more or pragmatism, and Buddhism and Taoism pay attention to compassion and help the world, so, the two families also began to learn from each other and merge, this mixed belief is becoming more and more distinct, but the explosion of this mixed faith is in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty implemented the policy of suppressing and using the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and gradually these two families also followed in the footsteps of Confucianism and became a part of the ruling tool, so that they are more and more detached from the common people. As a result, folk beliefs began to rise, and there were often mixed worship of gods and Buddhas of various religions, and it was a hodgepodge of literary expressions such as legends and stories.

The old man looked at Hanwa and seemed a little disappointed, so he patted him on the shoulder.

"Hanwa, these are my guesses, I just read some books, know some things, and then make assumptions here. Is this White Emperor Temple ancient or present, and what is the difference? Could it be that the ancient immortals were strong, and the current immortals are ugly? ”

"Look at why the people in the mountains have always believed in the White Emperor, not because of how mysterious the legend is, but because they are really willing to believe it, because it is indeed effective, just like your father said that the fox fairy sent treasures and saved many people, and the White Emperor warned people not to be greedy because of this. If there really is a white fox like the White Emperor, I think it is more worthy of respect than those ethereal immortals. Because what do the people need? Food, shelter and a healthy body are the most important things. Think about it, the White Emperor is really the patron saint of the mountain people, it relieves the urgent need when it is most needed, and exhorts the people's hearts, so that the people in the mountains have no fear and no greed, and can be passed on peacefully from generation to generation, isn't this the most powerful god? ”

After that, the old man solemnly kowtowed to the statue of the White Emperor three times again, this time he did not pray to be protected when he was exploring the treasure, but really saluted this immortal from the heart, and the Han Wa on the side also knelt down proudly.

"Let's go, we should go back too!"

The two walked out of the White Emperor Temple to the edge of the cliff and looked towards the Bay of the Dead, where the fog had gradually risen, but it was certain that nothing on the picture could be seen from here.

The old man opened his arms, took a few breaths of mountain air violently, patted Wangcai on the head, and shouted:

"Wangcai, let's go back over the mountain, you lead the way!"
