Chapter 98: Crossing
After Liang Er finished telling the story of the azaleas of Tianlu Mountain in one breath, he felt a little dry mouth. Liu Manli unscrewed the lid of the pot filled with mountain spring water understandingly, and then handed it over, looking at Liang Er with a focused expression, "Uncle, let's drink some water to moisten your mouth first, the love story between the cuckoo fairy and the fourth son of the dragon king, Ao Xiaobing, is too poignant and touching!" Obviously, Liu Manli is still intoxicated by the story.
Liang Er took the pot of mountain spring water, stood up from his seat on the big stone, raised his head, drank a few sips, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said in a loud voice, "This water is so refreshing, sweet, comfortable, comfortable!" ”
At this time, I saw Liang Shirong standing in front of the towering boulder, lit a cigarette and took a puff, crossed his waist with his left hand, and stared intently at the Zenlong Gorge stream that converged from the multi-layered waterfalls of Tianlu Mountain...... Let your thoughts run wild.
Liang Shirong quietly recalled the story of the rhododendron in Tianlu Mountain that Liang Er had just told, and tasted the love emanating from every side of the air here.
Suddenly, the clear sky was cloudy, and the sky and the earth were in a gray chaos.
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, followed by a loud thunderclap...... In an instant, Liang Shirong was shocked by this scene!
"Chaos, lightning, thunderbolts, rivers, this scene ......" he muttered in his heart, as if he had the feeling of "thinking about a thousand years and seeing thousands of miles".
Suddenly, his mind flashed into him, as if he had traveled through time and space, back to the ancient barbaric era, back to his past life......
…………………………………………………
At the beginning of the ancient flood, there was no distinction between heaven and earth, and there was a gray chaos everywhere.
Chaos is like a giant egg. There is a great god in the giant egg, and there is an axe and a jewel next to the great god, and this great god is Pangu.
There is no year in the chaos. I don't know how long later, a loud thunderclap came from the center of chaos, and Pangu was born. At this time, Pangu held the giant axe in both hands and split the entire chaos. In an instant, a yang qi rose to the sky, and a yin qi descended to the earth. In this way, the sky continued to rise day by day, and the earth continued to sink day by day, and finally when the sky could not be higher and the earth could no longer sink, Pangu was exhausted and fell into the world he opened up with a bang. Three clear qi flew out of his body in an instant, and his left eye flew high into the sky and turned into the sun, shining on the entire earth; The right eye became the moon, so that the night was no longer dark; The inextricable strands on his body have become stars in the sky, dotting the desolate sky; The limbs and body were transformed into three mountains and five mountains; Blood turned into rivers, lakes and seas.
At this point, this desolate land was finally formed, and mountains and rivers began to be produced between heaven and earth, as well as birds, beasts and other spiritual creatures......
The stream of Chanlong Gorge in Tianlu Mountain, the river flows endlessly day and night, crosses the lofty mountains and mountains, flows into the new river, and flows through the Xijiang River out of the sea.
Xinjiang, also known as Xinxing River, is an inconspicuous but well-known river. It is said to be inconspicuous because there is no trace of it on those small scale of the rooster-shaped map of China, and only on the large scale map can you find a pale blue and small river marking line; It is said that it is famous, because anyone who has read the writer Hong Pandong's work "Into Tianlu Mountain" can appreciate the beauty and magical natural scenery on both sides of the river and on the river.
Xinxing, since ancient times, the historical and cultural heritage is profound, and the natural ecology is beautiful. The Xinxing River, which flows from south to north, originates from the majestic Tianlu Mountain Range, and the water of the Tianlu Mountains flows through the Xinjiang River. The sparkling Xinjiang has poured out the beautiful customs on both sides of the strait, brought vitality to all things, become the source of life, gave birth to generations of emerging people, and gave birth to Huineng to become the founder of Chinese Zen Buddhism.
There are countless rivers in China, but there are not many rivers named after counties, which shows that the names of counties and rivers are embracing each other. The Xinxing River, which originates in the Tianlu Mountains in the territory, flows through the whole territory of Xinxing from south to north, and flows into the Xijiang River in Nan'an Town, GY City. The Xinxing River has a total length of 145 kilometers, of which 103 kilometers flow through Xinxing. The Xinxing River not only has a great impact on the emerging nature and culture, but also endows the emerging humanities with significance. Xinxing Jiang gives Xinxing a soul and unlimited content. It is precisely because of the continuous flow of the Xinxing River, the fresh wind brought by the Xinxing River, and the accumulation and accumulation of civilization that the vast areas on both sides of the strait have slowly shed the reckless atmosphere of the mountains and wilderness, and have formed their own independent style, and have also formed a situation of relative harmony between man and heaven, man and earth, and man and man. The small watershed and small basin of the Xinxing River form a unique microclimate, the wind and rain are smooth, and it is basically not afraid of drought, waterlogging and wind, and it is a rare "land of fish and rice" in the XS area of Guangdong.
China's landform is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, so most of the rivers flow to the southeast, and the famous lyricist Li Yu has the famous sentence of "a river spring water flows to the east". Of course, there are also rivers that do not flow to the southeast, and there is a very famous poem that describes the direction of the Xiangjiang River and says: "The Xiangjiang River goes north". The Xinxing River also goes north. This should be a rare river course.
XX County Chronicles carry the biography of people, saying that the character of the emerging people is more hard-working, stubborn, rebellious, and honest. It seems to have something to do with the environment, but also with the northward flow of water, which is called environmental determination consciousness in the language of contemporary fashion.
The riverside that traveled in the opposite direction for hundreds of miles has created an immortal soul that is not without rebellious meaning, and he is the sixth ancestor Huineng. More than 1,300 years ago, a 24-year-old woodcutter at the foot of Longshan, in order to seek the Buddha's fate, along the river bank in the north, all the way to the north to walk, go through hardships, and finally came to HB Huangmei, in Dongshan Zen Temple with a side of "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform; There was nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust. "To be able to accept the mantle of inheritance. With reverse thinking, Huineng dared to deny the traditional path of cultivating Buddhism, and changed "gradual enlightenment" to "epiphany". In the spirit of reform, he Sinicized Buddhism imported from the West and popularized esoteric Buddhism. Huineng "repudiated traditional idols and stereotypes, had the courage to innovate, and sinicized foreign religions to suit China's national conditions" and "was the true ancestor of Chinese Buddhism." A "Sutra of the Altar of the Six Patriarchs" is the most valuable cultural heritage left to us by Huineng, which has been passed down through the ages. The six ancestors are Hui Neng, and the world admires them like gods.
The 300-mile Xinxing River twists and turns, flows north day and night, along the mountains and ravines, all the way to the pass and passes, and rushes back to the sea. The uppermost source of Xinjiang is called Shuiyuan River, which originates from the main peak of the Tianlu Mountain Range, the Tianlu Mountain Group.
Tianlu Mountain is located in the south-central part of Guangdong. With a large area of 600,000 acres of primeval forest, it is a rare gene bank of biological resources in the world and a research base for biodiversity that attracts worldwide attention, and is known as the "treasure of the earth and mankind" and "the treasure house of natural genes". This ancient and dense primeval forest forms a large reservoir of natural green. The clear springs and streams in the mountains converge into nine large rivers that flow from all directions to the outside of Tianlu Mountain. These rivers have narrow channels, large drops, and many rapids and rapids; The riverbed is mostly gravel and gravel; The river water is cold, the nutrients are high, and the fish are abundant and diverse. Of course, as one of these nine rivers, after flowing out of the Xijiang River, the Xinjiang River continues to receive dozens of mountain streams and ravines along the way under the winding and rolling mountains, sometimes crisscrossing in the deep mountains and valleys, and sometimes flowing slowly in the middle of the flat fields and dams. It then flows from the mountainous area of Gaoyao County in western Guangdong, through the south bank of the Jindu Hills and Huanggang County, flows into the Xijiang River in Zhaoqing at Jinzhu, and then flows into the Pearl River and the Yangtze River in Guangzhou.
"Beige flowers bloom all over the treetops, and it is difficult to hide the fragrance on both sides of the strait when the wind comes." On the banks of the Xinxing River, there are many exotic grasses and trees. In spring, the lotus flowers bloom, and the jade liquid elixir oozing out of the stamens is really fragrant and diffused in the rivers. Among them, there is a thousand-year-old lotus flower that has been bathed in wind and rain, absorbing the clear river water and flying aura.
Life is like grass and trees, spring goes to autumn, and everyone lives an ordinary and short life. People are easy to want to be quiet after their troubles, and they really live a pure life with six roots, and they are lonely, and most of the nature of immortals is like this.
This thousand-year-old lotus can't jump out of the circle of seven emotions and six desires in the mortal world. It grows in obscurity, day after day, year after year, spring goes to spring, and no one cares about it. And when it thought that the red face was fleeting, so it disliked the wild and deserted river, so it had a thought, and one day said to a water banyan next to it: "Brother Rong, we have been together for so long, I heard that the world outside is very exciting, can you accompany me for a trip?" ”
Shui Rong responded: "Sister Lian, I'm bulky, I'm afraid I won't be able to go anywhere." ”
Lotus said, "It's okay, we turned into two gems, and together we asked Brother Flood to send us to the shore downstream, so that people could pick them up and take them home, and carve them into a pair of wine bottles." Brother is male, named Qianzhong; Slave is female, named Yuxi: together it is called 'Millennium Cup'. Meaning: Jubilee, naturally is joy, cup, is sad; That is, there is joy before sorrow, and sorrow after joy. We have traveled to the earthly world for thousands of years, and then we have managed to return to this riverbed. In the rolling red dust, if the world takes pity on us and treats us well, so that we can reunite the two males and females, and the yin and yang are one, his family will be able to be more happy, happy events, and prosperous; If anyone forcibly separates the two of us, his family will be accompanied by joy and sorrow, blessings and misfortunes, and the decline of the family, do you say okay? ”
"Sister Lian, in that case, of course I'm happy to accompany you on a trip."
So, they turned into two gems and together they washed the flood water to the banks of the Xijiang River. Soon, someone really picked it up and went home, and paid someone to carve it into a pair of wine bottles.
At first, Qian Zhong and Yu Xi traveled through the land of South Vietnam, then down the river to the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and then north to Jinan Province, which had been a thousand years.
Whoever they go to all the way, the main family will be prosperous.
The sun and the moon are reincarnated, and the world is vicissitudes. After a few hundred years, they continued to go north and came to the palace in the capital, where Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, saw the exquisite and elegant wine bottles, and also liked to use these two wine bottles to drink. The wine bottle was stored in the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty, and after 21 years and 20 emperors, it became one of the most powerful dynasties in Chinese history, and it was prominent for a while.
The wine bottle was stored in the generation of Li Ye of Tang Zhaozong, and unfortunately Yuxi was stolen out of the palace by a palace maid and taken to Changsha to be bought by an official surnamed Liu. Since then, the eunuchs in the court and the central government have seized power, the government decree is not clear, and coupled with natural and man-made disasters, finally in the second year of Qianfu (875 AD), Wang Xianzhi broke out, Huangchao uprising, and finally attacked Chang'an. Tang Zhaozong Li Ye was a bright and talented young emperor and vowed to revive the dynasty. But in the end, it was powerless, and the Tang Empire was destroyed!
Besides, the official who bought the Jade Jubilee, although he was born in Jinshi, full of wealth, and held the official position of the fifth grade of the imperial court, he was like most ordinary people, he could only see the blessings on the surface of the Millennium Cup, but he could not see the hidden curse inside.
Soon, the official was demoted to Lingnan Xinzhou, and Yuxi was also brought back to his homeland on the upper bank of the Xinjiang. The Yuxi Cup is stored in the Liu family's mansion, and many of the descendants of this official have not escaped the curse of the wine bottle, and they have been living a life of "joy and sorrow, blessing and misfortune".
Yuxi returned to the shore of the upper reaches of the new river, first, because it was difficult to leave the homeland, and she was attached to this pure land; The second is that I will never forget my old friend and want to wait for Qianzhong to come back, hoping to live together again in this clean land.
However, the reincarnation of the sun and the moon, the passage of time, the jade jubilee and so on, and the return of the thousand bells, I can't help but think about it: I don't know if the thousand bells are obsessed with the glory and wealth in the red dust, the brocade clothes and jade food, or what is the reason, completely forgetting themselves?
She thought about it left and right, hated and forgot her feelings, and fell into the worldly relationship. So, the story of this "Xinjiang Love" was deduced.
