Chapter 306: The Source of the Dao Law (2)

Aunt Bao listened to Ge Hong's vivid image, and also gave birth to a lot of curiosity, she asked: "Since this monkey is so powerful, how did Dayu catch it?" ”

"Dayu successively sent Tong Lu and Ebony to fight, but they couldn't be defeated without support. In the end, Gengchen was sent to battle, and he captured Wuzhiqi."

"Who is Gengchen? (No matter how you look at it, it looks like the Jade Emperor sent the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to capture Wukong...... ）”

Ge Hong looked at Aunt Bao, a curious baby (it was Ge Hong who sorted out all the early myths, legends and mythological systems in his later years, so he did have the ability to talk about these), smiled mysteriously, and said a little playfully: "According to ancient books such as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Gengchen is a "mighty and outstanding" god of the upper realm, and he works as a guard next to Lady Yunhua (the god of the East), the daughter of the Queen Mother of the West (the ancestor of ten thousand immortals). During the Emperor Yao period of "Flood Mang", Dayu was ordered to "lay down the earthwork". In order to make Dayu smoothly manage the floods in the world and rebuild their homes for the people, Mrs. Yunhua sent Gengchen and other seven heavenly generals to help. They have great powers, are loyal to their duties, split mountains and rivers, subjugate demons and catch monsters, and have made great achievements, and are equipped with the first divine sword in ancient times, "Water Avoiding Sword"

"What else?"

In the thirteen years of following Dayu, Gengchen successively participated in the killing of the Fengshi clan, expelled the Gonggong and exterminated his evil minister Xiangliu, especially in the fierce battle between Tongbai Mountain and the mountain spirit water monster without Zhiqi, he showed his might and subdued the "first strange demon of the ages" Wuzhiqi. This is the pinnacle of Gengchen's special achievements, and it is also the main reason why he is known as Huai Duye. ”

"Lord Huai? (The historical record of Gengchen is mainly derived from the "Taiping Guangji" article quoting "Curtain Talk", "Li Tang" biography and the "Rebuilding Huaidu Temple Inscription" in the ninth year of Jiajing, which also records Wuzhiqi)"

"It's the water god of the Huai River!"

"Oh, since it's the first strange demon of the ages, doesn't it have any men to rescue?"

"Yes! Thousands of monsters such as Spleen, Huanhu, Mu Mei, Water Spirit, Mountain Demon, Stone Monster, etc., all rushed up with shouts when they saw Wuzhiqi being caught, wanting to snatch Wuzhiqi away. ”

"And the result?"

The result was that Gengchen wielded the Fang Tian painting halberd, and together with the gods, he killed this group of rabble without much effort, and then Dayu ordered someone to lock Wuzhiqi's neck with a big iron chain, and put a copper bell on his nostrils, and then pressed him at the foot of the Turtle Mountain on the south side of the Huai River! Because of the defeat of Wuzhi Qi, Dayu's water control work in Tongbai Mountain was able to go smoothly, and Huaishui was safely returned to the sea from then on. (Regarding the image of Wuzhiqi, it was first seen in the fragment of "Li Tang" in the Tang Dynasty novel "Rong Curtain Chatter" in volume 467 of the "Taiping Guangji" compiled by Li Fang in the Northern Song Dynasty, among which the earliest story of Tang monks learning scriptures was the Mongolian opera writer Yang Ne (character Jingxian No. Ruzhai) in the early Ming Dynasty, who wrote miscellaneous plays, and now knows that there are eighteen kinds, and there are two kinds of "Liu Xingshou" and "Journey to the West". Yang Ne's miscellaneous drama "Journey to the West" writes the story of folklore Tang monks learning scriptures. In the miscellaneous drama "Tang Sanzang Xitian Learning" by Wu Changling, a drama writer in the Yuan Dynasty, the image of Sun Wukong appeared, and there were words "Wuzhiqi is his sister", and then there was "Journey to the West" compiled and processed by Wu Chengen, which shows that Sun Wukong's character creation has borrowed from the image of Wuzhiqi)"

"And what about another kind of monkey?"

"This kind of monkey is a bit interesting, and it is also directly related to what I said about the wordless heavenly book!"

"Oh?"

"This kind of monkey is also called a gibbon monkey, and it can take the sun and the moon, shrink thousands of mountains, distinguish blame, and play tricks."

"What's the legend?"

"Have you heard of the Seven Monsters of Meishan when King Wu was fighting? Its leader, Yuan Hong, is the embodiment of a gibbon! ”

"I've heard my dad mention this ......"

"yes, yes, it's kind of interesting!"

"What's so special about this monkey? What are you talking about, isn't it too exaggerated to take the sun and the moon?! ”

"I also think, but this kind of monkey has two arms to communicate, it is said to be able to stretch and retract the arms (there is a technique in martial arts called through the arm, which is also borrowed from the peculiarities of this animal), so it is very good at climbing trees, if it is a young man, he can be good at knowing yin and yang, casting spells, and its magical powers are vast, and they cannot be fully described!"

"Heh, I can really blow!"

"It's not a lie, it is said that this white ape that was recovered by the Nine Heavens Xuannu appeared during the reign of King Chu Gong!"

"There are really youkai!"

"At that time, the king of Chu went hunting in Jingshan and found this white ape, he connected the king of the king with eighteen arrows, the king was furious, and the first good archery master of the state of Xuan Chu came to shoot him, and the white ape knew that the king was a magic arrow, so he fled in a smoke. Therefore, the king of the Communist Party sent three armies to surround the mountain, searching for no trace, and in a fit of anger, he set fire to the trees of the entire mountain, so the legend "The ape of the Chu State is dead, and the forest is in trouble", it is because of this matter! ”

"Really, how can there be such a record?"

"Really!"

"But this has nothing to do with what you said about the wordless heavenly book?!"

"Yes, yes, listen to me, I said before that this white ape followed the Nine Heavens Xuannu back to Heaven, right?"

"Yes, that's what you said!"

"Well, after the white ape went to Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor named it the White Cloud Cave Monarch and taught him to be in charge of the Nine Heavens Secretary!"

"Secretary of the Nine Heavens?!"

"It's a book that only exists in the heavenly realm, and all the heavenly secrets are hidden in it, and people in the world have no way to know the content of it, so they always call it a secretary and use it to collect it with a golden jade basket, which is what our Taoists call a golden book!"

Hearing this, Aunt Bao also came to be interested, she has been learning the Tao for a long time, but she has not heard much about the origin of the Nine Heavens Secretary from her father's side, and now Ge Hong is just talking about it, and she is naturally interested!

To know this about the origin of Taoism, especially about the "Golden Book" revered by Taoism, what cultivator would not be excited?! ”

For this reason, Aunt Bao also looked around, for fear that some young people would come to eavesdrop, and because of Ge Hong's strange words before, she was also worried about whether there would really be some strange elves coming, so Aunt Bao was already on guard at this time and pricked up her ears, ready to listen carefully!

Ge Hong also said the rise, so he continued without reservation: "Suddenly, one day, it was the time of the Xitian Golden Mother Pan Tao Victory Meeting, and the Jade Emperor led a group of immortal officials and generals to the Yao Pond of Kunlun Mountain for a banquet! ”

"Ahh I understand, I understand, this white ape is taking this opportunity to steal books, well, yes, yes, really smart......" Aunt Bao regretted it as soon as she spoke, how could she praise it so blatantly......

Ge Hong also laughed a little when he heard Aunt Bao's words, this Aunt Bao is really interesting, not only is she beautiful, but her character is also direct, without any hypocrisy, this is indeed the character he Ge Hong likes!

Thinking of this, Ge Hong couldn't help but look at Aunt Bao a few more times!

Aunt Bao also had the idea of Ge Hong's gaze, with the girl's intuition, she could really feel the love contained in Ge Hong's gaze!

For no reason, Aunt Bao's face was flushed again, and she shouted at Ge Hong: "Say it quickly, why do you always sell it!" ”
