"Si Yun, what do we need to do next? Si Yun, and recently, Alin has appeared too often, is there something wrong?" asked Chaos. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at Alin in chaos, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Go to the Queen Mother of the West, she is the only one who still exists in the afterlife, so we have to find her," Si Yun replied, the drought has been missing lately, it is better to go to the Queen Mother of the West. Moreover, Alin has woken up very ordinarily recently, I heard that he was sent by the master of the other world, it should be something happened to Master Nagu, so he has a problem, it seems that he is going back soon.

The place where the Queen Mother of the West is is the colorful Qiongyao Pond, this place is in Kunlun, it is the Kunlun Kunlun Mountain, also known as Kunlun Xu, China's first sacred mountain, the mountain of ten thousand ancestors, Kunlun Hill or Jade Mountain. The large mountain system in central Asia is also the backbone of the mountain system in western China. It stretches from the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau in the west, traverses Xinjiang and Tibet, and extends to Qinghai, with a total length of about 2,500 kilometers, an average altitude of 5,500-6,000 meters, a width of 130-200 kilometers, and a total area of more than 500,000 square kilometers in the west and a wide east width. Mount Kunlun has a prominent position of "the ancestor of ten thousand mountains" in the cultural history of the Chinese nation, and the ancients called Kunlun Mountain the "ancestor of the dragon vein" of China.

Famous characters on the mountain. What kind of woman is she?

The legend of the Queen Mother of the West has been divided since ancient times, and various records are quite different. Some people say that she is the queen of a small country in the ancient Western Regions, and she is extremely fierce and hideous, with unkempt hair and tiger-like teeth, and even the beasts want to flee because they are afraid of her when they see her. In this statement, the Queen Mother of the West is simply a dominatrix-like figure. Some people also say that the name and surname are the Tao: the surname of the Queen Mother of the West is Yang, and the name of the boudoir is Wanling, and later became an immortal and lived on Kunlun Mountain. Because of her virtuous ability, the Queen Mother of the West took charge of the court instead of the Jade Emperor, and was a middle-aged woman with grace and luxury and extraordinary bearing.

Legend has it that King Mu of Zhou once passed by Kunlun Mountain on his way to the west and was warmly welcomed by the Queen Mother of the West. King Mu of Zhou drank and wrote poems on the Yao Pond, lingered for many days, and was fascinated by the beautiful scenery of immortal wine. Later, on the way back to Beijing, he also wanted to visit the Queen Mother of the West again, but unfortunately the fate of the immortals could not be found, and the misty Kunlun Mountain could only see the dense deep forest.

The Queen Mother of the West is well-known to people, in addition to her dazzling Yao Chi, there is the coveted Pan Tao Garden. In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong was once assigned to manage the Pan Tao Garden, but it turned out that all the ripe peaches in the Pan Tao Garden entered the stomach of this stubborn monkey. That's a fairy peach that bears fruit once in thousands of years! The Queen Mother of the West attaches great importance to her own peach, and has always only let people she trust take care of it, and she is naturally extremely angry at Sun Wukong's trouble. So, when Sun Wukong never came, who was in charge of Pan Taoyuan?

It is said that the Queen Mother of the West has a total of four personal maids, namely Wang Zideng, Guo Mixiang, Ji Weirong and Dong Shuangcheng, and the caretaker of Pan Taoyuan is this Dong Shuangcheng. It is rumored that she is the confidant of the Queen Mother of the West, and she has the highest status among the four. In fact, the fact that Dong Shuangcheng has always taken care of the Pan Taoyuan, which is cherished by the Queen Mother of the West, is enough to prove that her status is different from that of ordinary fairies. Therefore, she is also known as the peach fairy of the Queen Mother of the West.

So what kind of story does this peach fairy Dong Shuangcheng have?

Legend has it that Dong Shuangcheng was originally a mortal and was born in Hangzhou. Hangzhou is such a beautiful place, there are naturally more beautiful women, Dong Shuangcheng is no exception, the appearance is extraordinary, charming and moving, and the whole body is full of a smart temperament. The ancestor of the Dong family was a historian of the Shang Dynasty, who was honest and prudent, strict and self-disciplined, and often used history as a mirror to make suggestions. After the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the ancestors of the Dong family settled on the banks of the Qiantang River and lived a secluded life. Every spring, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the Dong family's house is hidden in the beautiful peach blossom forest, which naturally has a unique flavor.

In such an environment, Dong Shuangcheng has been cultivated to love peach blossoms since he was a child, and often watches them in the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and he is not tired. Dong Shuangcheng is growing up day by day, and his beautiful face is gradually more beautiful than flowers. When the glamorous Dong Shuangcheng shuttled through the peach blossom forest, he had the interest of "the peach blossoms on the human face are red".

On this day, Dong Shuangcheng was admiring the peach blossoms, and suddenly his mind turned and he came up with an idea to use the peach blossoms. She picks the freshest peach blossoms and uses them to refine the elixir with precious herbs such as Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains. Dong Shuangcheng is delicate, smart and intelligent, this elixir was actually refined by her. In the beginning, the pill could only clear phlegm and dissolve gas, but gradually, under Dong Shuangcheng's careful research and pondering, by improving the formula and controlling the heat, the pill that was later refined had a qualitative change and could treat a variety of diseases. As a result, there was an endless stream of people who came to ask Dong Shuangcheng for medicine.

Because there are many people who need pills, Dong Shuangcheng has to refine more, which is good, from picking herbs and picking flowers to guarding the furnace for alchemy, Dong Shuangcheng is often very busy. But Dong Shuangcheng is a kind-hearted good girl, and she knows that her elixir can save people's lives, so she is very happy no matter how busy she is.

Occasionally, when he has leisure, Dong Shuangcheng will play the sheng to entertain himself. After a long time, her sheng will be blown at a very high level, and it is said that it can even attract hundreds of birds to listen. Dong Shuangcheng's most famous sheng song is "Dan Xiaofeng", which can even attract cranes. So the nearby folks are very fond of this beautiful and kind girl.

At that time, the theory of the Yellow One (that is, the art of fairy guidance) had slowly emerged. To be a god and thus immortal and have boundless mana, this is of course the hope of many people, so those wealthy nobles began to look for a beautiful place, build a hermitage, send smoke, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and refine the juice of the flowers, in order to be able to not eat the fireworks of the world in the world, and then soar during the day, and become immortals.

Dong Shuangcheng was able to refine the elixir for the treatment of a variety of diseases, so he naturally became the target of everyone. Dong Shuangcheng believes that these elixirs are all refined with potpourri herbs, even if they can't make people become immortals and ascend to the Heavenly Palace, they are also beneficial to the body. So Dong Shuangcheng passed on his recipe, so there were many more devout disciples on the banks of the Qiantang River.

In the spring of one year, in the Wangxian Bridge under the bright sun in the afternoon, Dong Shuangcheng refined a furnace of "Baihua Dan", uncovered the lid of the furnace, and suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, and the soul was transparent and the whole body was comfortable. After eating a few of them, she felt refreshed and refreshed. Dong Shuangcheng was very happy in his heart, and couldn't help but take out the inseparable sheng to play. Suddenly, melodious and tactful tunes filled the heavens and the earth, and hundreds of birds gathered and flew around Dong Shuangcheng. Looking at the beautiful birds, Dong Shuangcheng couldn't help but lightly open his lips and sang a song, and the sound of big beads and small beads falling on jade plates attracted a few dancing cranes. The crane circled around Dong Shuangcheng a few times, and then crawled under the steps, as if he had a spirit in his heart, Dong Shuangcheng stepped onto the crane. The crane let out a long roar and carried her straight to the heavenly palace. People were dumbfounded, staring motionless until they couldn't see.

This crane, it carried Dong Shuangcheng all the way to the Queen Mother of Kunlun Mountain. The Queen Mother of the West had heard that there was a woman in the world who was good at planting peach trees, and now that woman was standing in front of her, she was overjoyed and kept her by her side. So, Dong Shuangcheng became the maid next to the Queen Mother, because she was smart and sensible, the Queen Mother liked her more and more, and later handed over everything to Dong Shuangcheng to do.

In fact, the previous chores are all regarded as the West Queen Mother's investigation of Dong Shuangcheng, and the West Queen Mother's final intention is to let her take care of Pan Taoyuan. The peach is the best fruit in the fairy palace, and it is natural for a meticulous person to manage it carefully. After the Queen Mother of the West was relieved of Dong Shuangcheng, she asked her to focus on taking care of Pan Taoyuan. The protection, picking and distribution of peaches are extremely important things, and Dong Shuangcheng is very busy. At the annual Yaochi Festival, so many peaches given by the Queen Mother of the West were selected by Dong Shuangcheng's slender jade hands.

In the mortal world, in addition to the previously mentioned King Zhou Mu, there is another emperor of Han Wu. It is recorded in the "Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" that on the night of July 7 in the first year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Wu welcomed the Queen Mother of the West in the forbidden palace, but saw the Queen Mother of the West descending from the sky in the group of fairies.

The Queen Mother of the West was supported by Dong Shuangcheng to enter the main hall, talked with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the hall, and asked Dong Shuangcheng to give Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty four peaches. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ate it, he only felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and his whole body was comfortable, so he carefully put away the peach pit and wanted to plant it in the mortal world. When the Queen Mother of the West saw it, she smiled and said, "This peach only bears fruit for 3,000 years, and the land in the Central Plains is too barren, even if it is planted, it will not bear fruit." Emperor Wu of Han had no choice but to give up.

After the Queen Mother of the West returned to the Heavenly Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has always been obsessed with the peach that she tasted once. After all, the taste of this kind of immortal fruit is unimaginably wonderful, and it also has a wonderful effect on the body, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty always thinks about how to eat the peach again.

At that time, there was a famous figure named Dongfang Shuo, who was a little talented, but also too proud. He once wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Chen Shuo lost his parents and raised his brother and sister-in-law for a long time." 12 years of study books, three winters of literature and history are sufficient; 15 learned fencing, 16 learned "poems" and "books", and recited 220,000 words; Nineteen learned the art of war of Sun Wu, the tools of the battle array, the teaching of cymbals and drums, and also recited 220,000 words. Chen Shuo is twenty-two years old, nine feet three inches long, eyes like hanging beads, teeth like braided shells, brave like Meng Ben, Jie Ruoqing Ji, Lian Ruo Uncle Bao, and Xin Ruo Weisheng. If so, you can be the minister of the Son of Heaven! It is to risk death and worship again. ”

In the Central Plains, a place that has always paid attention to modesty, such a person who praises himself vigorously seems out of place. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that he was a talent, but his words were not inferior and he was arrogant, so he just let him wait for the Zhao Bus Department. But soon, he won the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and his official fortune prospered and soared. Moreover, Dongfang Shuo's arrogance is also more serious. (To be continued.) )
