Chapter 60: Wu Sunrise
In the morning, Yue Haohan, who was still immersed in the fragrance of dreams, was awakened by a few knocks on the door; Raising his wrist and looking, it was not yet five o'clock, Yue Haohan turned over and got up and turned on the room light; Quickly put on your clothes and open the door to your room; Seeing Zheng Ziyan standing at the door, Yue Haohan let Zheng Ziyan into the room and asked, "Ziyan, why did you get up so early?"
Zheng Ziyan replied: "I went to bed early last night, thinking that I was about to see Wu Ri rise, and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep when I woke up, and Chunfang and Chunxia's sister also got up, and they were washing." ”
Yue Haohan said: "Last night, Qingfeng Dao was with me, and the two of us chatted for a long time before resting; I always dreamed after sleeping. By the way, Ziyan, tell me when you were born; Qingfeng Dao Chang said that he would first be at the Golden Dome in a while, according to the method taught by his master, and open the two pendants on the Golden Dome first; Then when the Zixiao Palace is doing business, it will be given a raise. ”
Zheng Ziyan said: "I am a pig, on May 16, 1971, my mother said that I was born at four o'clock in the morning. Brother Haohan, you're a monkey, aren't you? And Sister Ziying is a genus? ”
Yue Haohan said: "Your sister Ziying is a few months younger than me, she was born on September 8, 1968, at 8 o'clock in the evening. She's more than two years older than you. ”
When the two were talking, Li Yifu was holding a small flashlight in his hand; walked in and looked at Zheng Ziyan, then said to Yue Haohan, "Haohan, you guys have already gotten up?" The sunrise time of Jinding this season is about 5:40; You hurry up and pack up, and we'll go up and board it, and it will take about 20 minutes. Also, you tell me the names and birth times of Ziyan and your girlfriend. ”
Hearing Li Yifu say this, Yue Haohan took out a pen and paper from his backpack, wrote the names and birth times of Cheng Ziying and Zheng Ziyan on a small piece of paper, and handed it to Li Yifu. Then I went to the bathroom to wash up.
After a simple wash, he called Yue Chunfang, Yue Chunxia, and several people were under the leadership of Li Yifu; By the light of a flashlight, climb to the top of the gold.
When I arrived at the Golden Dome, I saw lights on in the signing rooms on both sides of the Golden Palace; Scattered on the top of the golden dome were more than a dozen tourists who were also waiting to watch the sunrise, sitting on the platform in front of the golden temple in twos and threes, whispering.
Yue Haohan followed Li Yifu to the signing room on the left side of the Golden Palace; Li Yifu asked a Taoist inside for two pieces of yellow table paper, a bottle of cinnabar, and a brush; took out the pieces of paper with the names and birth times of Cheng Ziying and Zheng Ziyan that Yue Haohan had just written; dipped a brush in cinnabar, and wrote down their names and birth times on two sheets of yellow paper. When you are done, put the two sheets of yellow sheet paper away. Then, Li Yifu took out a small copper basin from the signing room; poured a scoop of cold water into the basin, and then poured a scoop of boiling water from a boiling water bottle into the copper basin. After these things were done, he took out Yue Haohan's two jade pendants and put them into the copper basin.
Yue Haohan stood next to Li Yifu, watching Li Yifu only care about his work, and never spoke, and Yue Haohan did not speak; After about four or five minutes, Li Yifu reached out and took out the jade Buddha pendant from the basin, washed it repeatedly with the water in the basin, and after picking it up, wiped the water on it with yellow table paper; Then put it on the yellow table paper with Cheng Ziying's name and birth time written on cinnabar, and wrap the entire Jade Buddha pendant with the yellow table paper. Then he washed the jade Guanyin pendant and wrapped it in yellow table paper with Zheng Ziyan's name and time of birth.
After doing this, Li Yifu walked out of the signing room with two pendants, and said to Yue Haohan: "Haohan, you go to find a place to watch the sunrise first, and I will go to the golden palace to burn incense and chant sutras." After speaking, he turned around and went to the golden hall, put the two wrapped pendants, put them on the offering table in front of the statue of the true martial god, and lit three incense sticks; According to the Taoist method of worship, he bowed, and then sat on a chair behind the merit box and recited the scriptures.
watched Li Yifu finish these things, and chanted there intently; Yue Haohan turned around and walked to the place where Zheng Ziyan and his two younger sisters were sitting on the platform in front of the Golden Palace.
Seeing Yue Haohan coming over, Zheng Ziyan said softly to Yue Haohan, "Brother Haohan, you sit here." As he spoke, he moved his body towards Yue Chunfang, who was sitting next to him, and Yue Haohan sat down beside Zheng Ziyan.
After Yue Haohan sat down, Zheng Ziyan leaned towards Yue Haohan again, leaned next to Yue Haohan's body, and whispered: "Brother Haohan, why is it a little cold on this golden top, the long-sleeved shirt I am wearing is still a little shivering." ”
Yue Haohan said: "The altitude of Jinding is more than 1,600 meters, and the temperature here is generally seven or eight degrees different from that under the mountain; Of course you're feeling a little cold. With that, the two of them faced forward and looked out at the eastern sky.
Looking at the sky in the distance, slowly revealing white, Zheng Ziyan resisted him with his body beside Yue Haohan, and said, "Brother Haohan, this martial arts sunrise must be spectacular; I'm so excited right now! ”
Yue Haohan said: "It's also the first time I've watched the sunrise in Jinding, and I haven't felt what the sunrise is like here; But I know that there is a myth and legend about the rise of Wu Day. ”
"There is still a myth and legend on the day of Wu Risheng?" Zheng Ziyan tilted his head to look at Yue Haohan and asked. Yue Haohan replied, "Yes, this legend is like this; It is said that in ancient times, there were ten big red suns in the sky. As soon as the sun is too much, the ground is like being roasted by fire, the rivers are dried up, the seedlings are scorched, and the people are dying of heat, and they can't live a normal life at all. So, people all found Hou Yi and asked him to find a way to subdue the sun. Hou Yi has infinite strength, has a BMW, and the most important thing is that he has a magic bow. He promised, "Okay, I'll take care of this." ”
As he spoke, Hou Yi flew out of the gate, and then pulled out the divine bow, "Whoosh, swish, shot ten arrows into the sky, and suddenly nine suns fell into the sea; There was also a sun that was only wounded, dragging an arrow and rolling down into the mountains.
There is no sun in the sky, and the ground is like a big black cauldron, pitch black, and you can't see your fingers. And the people were alarmed, crying and crying, "Oh my God, how can you live here!" ”
Hou Yi also regretted it: "Why are you so reckless and do things absolutely nothing?" He said to the people, "I will go and get the wounded sun back and let it go back to the sky!"
Hou Yi immediately stepped onto the BMW and chased the injured Sun with a smoke. Chasing, chasing, to Wudang Mountain, the BMW was exhausted, suddenly stumbled to the ground and died of exhaustion, turned into a beautiful peak, people called it "Tianma Peak".
Hou Yi lost his BMW, so he had to take the divine bow and wade through mountains and rivers to continue looking for the sun. I searched and searched, and finally found it in a rock crust on the bank of the Jianhe River in Wudang Mountain. At that time, the magic arrow was still stuck in the sun's body. Because he had shed a lot of blood, his whole body was dyed red, which was really pitiful. Hou Yi regretted that he didn't know that the sun was still useful, and almost shot it all out, causing a big mistake. He hurriedly stepped forward to hold the sun, pulled out the arrow, and gently stroked its wound, so that it had a large black scar; Then put it against the arrow, carefully push it towards the sky, and this is the sunrise.
So far, the sunrise seen in Wudang Mountain is earlier than that in other places, and the sun rises gently every day, rising, red and gorgeous, and there are scars on the body. However, it doesn't hold a grudge against Hou Yi, but likes him to change it if he knows it. In order to thank Hou Yi's BMW, the sun often retreats the sky full of colorful clouds and ten thousand golden lights on Tianma Peak. ”
After Yue Haohan told Zheng Ziyan about the legend of the rise of the martial sun, the eastern sky had already appeared white, and the mountains in the distance were faintly revealed; The stars in the sky have become sparse, and two photography enthusiasts behind him have set up their cameras with telephoto lenses; Looking forward to that exciting time.
After a while, the eastern sky became whiter, and looking ahead, there were countless mountains and peaks surrounded by misty clouds and mist; The peaks loom like the obedient people at the foot of the golden dome, and they are worshipping towards the Tianzhu Peak where the golden dome is located; Slowly, a red mist appeared on the edge of the eastern sky, and slowly dispersed as the red mist slowly dispersed; A round of red sun, rising from the distant mountain valley, shy and shy.
Zheng Ziyan, who was sitting next to Yue Haohan, excitedly grabbed Yue Haohan's arm and said, "Brother Haohan, it's so beautiful!" It's like we're in a fairyland. ”
With Zheng Ziyan's words, the sun seemed to be pushed up by someone, and suddenly jumped upwards and jumped out of the distant mountain depression; In an instant, ten thousand golden lights were dazzlingly sprinkled on the golden top of Tianzhu Peak, Yue Haohan turned his head and looked at the golden palace; The golden temple illuminated by the first rays of the sun turned into pure gold, standing solemnly on the top of the Tianzhu Peak, declaring its majesty and supremacy.
Look ahead; The sky and the earth are shining, and the flowing water is overflowing. Under the rising sun, a thin mist slowly rises between the valleys; Like a huge light veil, covered in a mountain stream......
The sun has finally risen; The delicate morning sun blends with the morning mist slowly rising in the valley, changing the aura of colorful colors. Yue Haohan stood up and looked around; A feeling of being in the midst of unreality came over me.
Yue Haohan stretched his waist and turned around and walked in the direction of the Golden Palace; I saw a few tourists, in front of the Golden Temple, kneeling and worshipping reverently; looked into the golden palace, Li Yifu was not inside; Reciting the scriptures was another elderly Taoist.
Yue Haohan went from the platform of the Golden Palace to the signing room where he went with Li Yifu when he first came; Still didn't see anyone, Yue Haohan returned to Zheng Ziyan and his two younger sisters, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the parents' hall behind the Golden Palace to have a look, is Qingfeng Dao Chief there; It's time for us to go down. ”
Yue Haohan and the four of them arrived at the back of the Golden Palace, and saw Li Yifu on the platform behind the parents' hall, playing Tai Chi, and the four of them came to the front and stood next to them and watched quietly; After Li Yifu finished the move, he said to a few people: "Let's go down immediately, after breakfast; Go down the mountain to Zixiao Palace. ”
On the way from the golden dome to the guest house below, Yue Haohan asked Li Yifu and said, "Dao Chief, tell me about the opening of this mascot, what is the matter?" ”
Li Yifu said: "The consecration was originally mainly for the statues of gods; The official opening of the consecration comes from Taoism, and consecration is actually one of the Taoist ceremonies. The so-called enlightenment is to inject the invisible true spirit with boundless mana in the universe into the statue or mascot, and the idol or mascot also has the spirit of boundless mana. But if you want to understand, today I happened to do a ritual in Zixiao Palace to consecrate a statue of a god; When the time comes, you can take a look at it from the side. ”
After Li Yifu finished speaking, Yue Haohan asked again: "Daochang Li, then why did you put the two pendants in the copper basin to clean them before the golden top opened the light this morning?" ”
Li Yifu said: "This is the method that Master and his old man taught me to consecrate the mascot; Before the mascot is consecrated, the dirt attached to it must be removed. I add half raw water and half boiling water to my basin; The water that comes out in this way is called Yin and Yang Water in Taoism, also called 'Immortal Water', which is specially used to clean the dirty gas on the pendant, and only after cleaning it can it be chanted in front of the statue of the god to open the light. ”
Yue Haohan said: "It turns out that this is the reason, I understand now, half of the raw water and the general boiling water, when mixed together, is fairy water; So is it possible that after wearing the mascot for a period of time, it can be cleaned with such water? ”
Li Yifu said: "It's very correct, many auspicious items, after wearing them for a long time, will be polluted by dirty things; In order to keep its aura pure, it is generally cleaned in this way. ”
As they spoke, several people had already arrived at the Taoist guest house, and when they arrived at the room, Li Yifu said to Yue Haohan: "Haohan, you wash up first, clean up, and immediately go to the restaurant below to eat; I'll go down and wait for you. ”
After Li Yifu left, Zheng Ziyan came to Yue Haohan's room, sat on the bed, looked at Yue Haohan, and said, "Brother Haohan, we went down the mountain today, where are we going to play?" I can't walk, my calves are sore. ”
Yue Haohan chuckled and said, "Who told you not to strengthen your exercise in normal times, and you have to exercise more in the future; However, after the descent, there is no need for such a difficult climb; The three of you should be able to hold on. ”
Zheng Ziyan said: "Brother Haohan, why don't you teach me the Tai Chi taught by your grandfather Luo, and let me practice it too; Won't I be afraid to climb mountains in the future? ”
Yue Haohan smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you're interested; After arriving at Zixiao Palace, I asked Li Yifu, the head of Qingfeng Dao, to see if this set of boxing techniques can be taught to you? If he agrees, let him teach you a few tricks first, and I'll teach you the rest. ”
While the two were chatting, Yue Chunfang and Yue Chunxia walked in; Yue Haohan said: "Wait a minute, I'll wash my face, let's go down to eat." ”
After breakfast, Yue Haohan and the others packed up the change of clothes; accompanied by Li Yifu and two other Taoists; Follow the road on the left to the delivery man up the hill and go down.
