Chapter 118: Legend of Heaven (Part I)

After the girl finished telling the story of Mr. Mogu in one breath, Zhang Cambodia just wanted to comment, but the girl opened her mouth first: "This girl has told two Gu Zai in a row, this time it should be your old man's turn to tell one, right?" ”

Zhang Cambodia was robbed of the topic by the fisherman's girl, if it was in the court, in this case, he would definitely not have a good face to show the other party. And this time, instead of blaming the girl in front of him, he secretly praised her in his heart: clever and quick-witted. Zhang Cambodia smiled: "I don't know what kind of story the girl wants to hear?" ”

"It happened locally." The girl is quick to talk.

This time it stumped Zhang Cambodia, he was new to the city, and he didn't know everything here, so how could he talk about it? At this moment, Zhang Cambodia regretted what he just said and handed over the right to speak to the other party.

But Zhang Cambodia is Zhang Cambodia, worthy of being a Jinshi and an official to the prime minister. I saw him bow his head and ponder, suddenly raised his head, looked at the village hidden in the green mountains and green waters in the distance, and asked in a loud voice, "Where is the front?" ”

The fisherman girl replied, "It's Liantang." ”

"Liantang...... Heaven...... Ah, there you have it! Zhang Cambodia's hands struck knots, his mind flashed, and he remembered that in Lin'an, once he and Liang Shiyuan and several literati and writers got together to write poems and tell stories, Liang Shiyuan once told the story that happened in his hometown: Heaven and Paradise. So, a beautiful and beautiful story circulated in the local area: Paradise Victory, from the mouth of Zhang Cambodia, told eloquently:

There is a Yunwu Mountain in Yunfu City in western Guangdong, and the main peak is 1080 meters high. From here, several mountain ranges extend in all directions, one of which runs southwest, passing through the borders of Yun'an, Xinxing and Yangchun counties. It crosses the gorge through the field, and it is like a dragon leaping, until the ground of the paradise polder in Xinxing County, and it stops abruptly. I don't know what era, someone built a stepped temple along the hillside here, with a total of three floors, called Guanyin Pavilion.

One day, a Mr. Kanyu, it is said that from Yunwu Mountain, followed this dragon vein to the ground of Heaven Wei, thinking that the first knot of this dragon vein was in the Guanyin Pavilion, and this cave buried a nobleman. But this "knot point" is not on the surface of the mountain, but is contained in the belly of the mountain, if you want to bury the bones in this acupuncture point, you must dig a passage in the Guanyin Pavilion to enter the belly of the mountain.

So, Mr. Kanyu inspected inside and outside the Guanyin Pavilion, hoping to find the best channel, but looking for it, but did not see a trace of signs, only to see the highest floor in the pavilion, which has a Buddha hall, enshrined Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva sits on the lotus throne, and the demeanor is kind and solemn. The back wall of the hall is a smooth stone wall, and the incense burner in front of the hall is an open-air roof. There is a lotus pond in the center of the rooftop, in which lotus is planted. From the ground floor to the third floor, you have to climb a staircase more than 10 meters high. Therefore, the locals are afraid of fatigue and rarely come up here to make incense unless there is something special. Therefore, the Guanyin Temple has been covered with a layer of dust, like a deserted temple.

Since he couldn't find a passage, Mr. Kanyu also thought of using a manual excavation passage to enter the mountainside. However, the mountains were rocky and rocky, and he did not know where to start, and at the same time he was afraid that the locals would interfere and make it difficult, so he went to the streets and visited the local people. One day, an old man told him an interesting legend:

"A long, long time ago, Guanyin Bodhisattva traveled here, saw that this is a treasure of feng shui, afraid that the world will fight for this cave to cause a fight, so he built a three-story temple on the hillside, named Guanyin Pavilion. Although this pavilion has collapsed several times, the descendants in order to pray for the blessing of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and repair or build according to the old site. The Kannon Pavilion that you see now was built only in recent years.

"There is a lotus pond on the roof of the pavilion, and it is strange to say that there are many dry days, and no one irrigates the water, and the water of the lotus pond never dries up. A lotus flower bloomed in the pond in a certain year, bright and dazzling, the whole pavilion was shrouded in colorful halos, people all said that this is the Guanyin Bodhisattva manifestation to bring auspicious air, therefore, people from near and far come here to worship and pray for blessings, the incense is endless, and regard this flower as a token of the Bodhisattva, it will invite disaster if it moves, so no one dares to touch it.

"I don't know when, but this flower disappeared, and I investigated it for a while, but its whereabouts are unknown."

Mr. Kanyu listened to the old man's words, and knew that this flower had a great origin and infinite mysteries, so he quit the old man and continued to go to the streets to find the whereabouts of this flower.

One day, Mr. Kanyu passed by a house, and suddenly found that there was a shrine in the main hall of the house, where the memorial tablet of the ancestors was placed, and a lotus flower was inserted in a vase next to the tablet, but the lotus flower emitted a red light. With the consent of the owner of the house, he took the flowers down and admired them. I saw that this was a lotus flower in full bloom, the size of a bowl, the petals were particularly thick, pink in color, as if carved out of rubies, although it had been covered with some dust, it still shone brightly. Mr. Kanyu asked the owner of the house, "Why is this lotus next to the ancestral tablet?" The owner of the house said, "This is a family heirloom from our ancestors!" I don't know how many generations it has passed. "If it is a family heirloom, why do you devalue it and let it be covered with dust?" "In the past, on the first and fifteenth days of each month, it would be washed, but now the days are sad, and no one cares about it anymore." "Since no one cares, sell it to me."

The owner of the house thought for a long time, and then continued: "It was originally a treasure handed down by the ancestors, and it should not be sold, but in order to solve the urgent need, there is not much to take care of. I wonder how much you can pay? "I like its beauty, so I'll give you fifty taels of silver."

The owner of the house was suspicious in his heart, and secretly thought: As soon as this feng shui guy opened his mouth, he paid fifty taels of silver to buy it, and there must be a reason. He said to this Mr. Kanyu: "I can't be the master alone, wait for me to discuss with my family, and you can discuss it again in the Ming Dynasty." ”

At night, the two elders discussed and decided not to sell it, and they were afraid that Kanyu would use some magic trick to get the lotus flower away. The wife came up with an idea to hide the lotus flower in another place overnight, set fire to the shrine, and burned it for a while before pouring water on the fire. On the second day, Kanyu came as promised, only to see that half of the shrine had been burned. The owner of the house came out and said pitifully: "You see how weak I am, I don't even have the blessing of fifty taels of silver, and last night even the shrine caught fire, and when I and the people in the house drove out, the lotus flowers had been burned, and the flower pots were smashed to pieces, and almost even the tablets of the ancestors were burned. The owner of the house said that he beat his heart. Mr. Kanyu also thought that this was a manifestation of his face, and believed it to be true, so he sighed: "It's a pity, the thousand-year-old treasure flower, there is nowhere to find it in the future." The owner of the house asked, "Sir, what is the use of this flower?" Mr. Kanyu thought about it, since the lotus has been burned, he told him the secret, and he also seemed to be well-informed, so he said: "The stone wall behind the Guanyin Hall in the Guanyin Pavilion is a stone door, and when the stone door is opened, there is a stone cave, and there is a hole in the hole, if the bones of the ancestors are buried there, the descendants will enjoy endless wealth and glory." If you enter the cave, you may get a lot of gold and silver treasures. The lotus is the key to knock on the stone wall, as long as you knock on the door three times with the lotus, the stone door will open automatically. It's a pity that this feng shui treasure has now been sealed, and the gold and silver treasures inside have to let him sleep in the cave! He shook his head and walked away.

Listen to Mr. Kanyu's words, the owner of the house secretly rejoiced, immediately went up the mountain to dig up the father's bones, held the bones that night, took the lotus flower and touched the Guanyin Pavilion, after turning to the Guanyin Palace, knocked the stone wall three times with the lotus, the stone door was automatically removed, immediately the golden light in front of the eyes was shining, presenting a cave sky, there was a memorial arch standing in front, the memorial arch was made of jade, the carving was beautiful, the flying dragon walked the phoenix, and the book "Heaven Shengjing" four big characters. Behind the archway is a big square, some pavilions and pavilions are vaguely seen around the square, all kinds of flowers are planted in the square in an orderly manner, bursts of fragrance are fragrant, there is a big pearl hanging in the center of the square, the square shines like day. The back of the square is connected to three avenues, each with a pavilion at the intersection. Each pavilion has a plaque hanging from it. The plaque in the center of the pavilion reads "Paradise Avenue", the plaque on the left reads "Talent Avenue", and the plaque on the right pavilion reads "Fortune Avenue". Each avenue connects to a mountain, and it takes one hundred and eight steps to reach the top of the mountain, and the stairs are made of jade. I have heard the legend before, walking along the "Heavenly Avenue" can go directly to the heavenly court, where there are twelve palaces, the nine floors of the Xuan Room, the left Yao Pond, the right Cui Shui, is the place where the Jade Emperor and the Queen of the West Mother live, the light is shining, the clouds are shrouded. It is surrounded by nine rings of weak water, and its feathers will drown when it flies by, and the gods will also sit on the feathers of drag racing when they pass by. Legend has it that along the "Avenue of Talents" up to the top of the mountain, there is a jade dragon chair on the top, which is where the dragon vein knot is located. Legend has it that along the "Avenue of Wealth" up to the top of the mountain, you can see that there are jars and pots of treasures arranged in a neat and orderly manner, including pearls, diamonds, jade, jade, gold bars, silver ingots, and flowers and silver everywhere. These three mountains have beautiful scenery, the mountains are full of green pines and cypresses, the mountain streams and waterfalls are splashing, the cranes are flocking, some fly in the sky, some are frolicking in the forest, the birds are singing and the warblers are singing, the hillside is full of flowers, colorful, the fragrant wind is blowing in the nose, it is indeed a fairyland. It is said that the name "Heaven" was named after this, which is a later matter.
