Chapter 5 Sha Wujing repairs the stone weir and the little loach becomes a handsome catfish
The first section of the new weir is made of pure red rock
It is said that when Chang'e returned from Meitang, she first reported to the East China Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva Xiangzhi that the Tang monks and apprentices were relaxing in the Tianzigang area of Meitang and preparing holy relics for the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land.
"'Envoy of the Beauty God', do you first say that Chen Xuanzang led his disciples Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, Sha Wujing and Bailongma to raise holy relics for the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang, or first tell the story of love between you and Marshal Pig (Bajie)!" Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and looked into Chang'e's eyes and said.
"Okay, let me first tell the story of Marshal Pig (Bajie)'s love!" Chang'e used her unique sweet mezzo-soprano to tell Guanyin Bodhisattva about Zhu Bajie's two unhappy marriagesγγγγγγ
"Alright. ' 'Envoy of the God of Beauty', your 'history of finding that feeling' with Bajie will come to an end today. Now you can talk about Chen Xuanzang and his disciples Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, Sha Wujing and Bailongma to raise holy relics for the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang! Avalokiteshvara said.
"Alright! I'll just say them one by one. Chang'e took a sip of tea and cleared her throat. First of all, he told Guanyin Bodhisattva about Chen Xuanzang's interesting story of writing two heavenly books. Then he told Guanyin Bodhisattva about Wukong's construction of the Civilization Bridge.
'Good!' The envoy of the god of beauty', Wukong's construction of the bridge of civilization, for the time being, is here. Let's talk about what you saw and heard during the leisure period of Wujing Meitang! Avalokiteshvara quickly cut to the next conversation.
"Alright! On Wujing's trip to Meitang, 500 meters upstream of the Civilization Bridge built by Wukong, a world-famous water conservancy project was built - Xinpiyan! Chang'e said in her unique sweet mezzo-soprano.
"Wujing was born in the mountains, caring for the mountain people, Wujing was born with this instinct!" Avalokiteshvara was thoughtful.
"The river where Wujing built a weir is called the Wenming River by the locals. The Wenming River flows through 2,000 meters, passes through Tianzigang, and then flows 50 miles into the Daxiang River. It is rainy in the south, and the civilized river water is basically a regular flow in all seasons! The width of the surface of the Wenming River is about 20 meters. Water resources are abundant. β
"Wujing knows the mountains, knows the water, and knows the people's feelings. The location he chose to build the weir must be twice the result with half the effort, and he will be superior! Avalokiteshvara guessed.
"What the Bodhisattva said is extremely true. Wujing's choice of the location to build the weir was really hard work. According to the trend of the mountain and the flow of water, he took (red stone) materials on the spot, and used all red rocks to build this new weir that can irrigate thousands of acres of fertile land. β
"What's so peculiar about this new weir? What's so strange about it? Avalokiteshvara asked.
"It has three distinctive characteristics: first, it is made entirely of red rock; the second is the canal on both sides of the stone weir with the double-layer effect of flood drainage and irrigation; Third, there is a fish passage connecting the upstream and downstream of the stone weir. Chang'e said eloquently.
"You just said that Wujing used all red rocks to build a new weir. Red rocks are noticeably less durable than cyan rocks! Why didn't Wujing choose red rocks instead of blue rocks? Avalokiteshvara said.
This has to start with the special geographical environment of Tianzigang. The Five Elements Mountain, which the Buddha formed with the five fingers of his right hand, pressed Wukong for 500 years, and after being broken by Wukong, it fell into the Meitang area and became Wulong Mountain. Mt. Wulong is made of red and blue rocks. The thumb of the Buddha's right hand is a red rock; The other four fingers are cyan rocks. The south bank of the Wenming River is red rock; The northern slope is cyan rock. This kind of red rock hill is long and thick, and it saves time and effort to mine. Moreover, the site where the red rock was mined was only one or two hundred meters away from the Xinpi weir that was built. However, the site where the cyan rock is mined is a long distance away from the Xinpiyan built on the base. It is easy to mine, which is probably the main reason why Wujing used all the red stone to build a new weir! Chang'e said while analyzing.
"Red rocks are more susceptible to weathering than cyan rocks. Why don't you consider the sturdiness of the new weir and realize the cleanness! Avalokiteshvara said.
"This is the ability of Wujing to come from a mountain people. According to Goku and me, Goku also raised this concern with Gojo at that time. Guess what Wujing answered. Wujing said to Wukong, the mountain people have their own tricks! I believe that the red rock on which the weir was built is no less solid than the cyan rock. History will prove the correctness of my choice and use of (stone)! "Chang'e said an answer with no answer!
"I also believe that Wujing's use of red rocks is the reason why he uses red rocks! You and I can't figure out the true answer to Wujing right now. Only wait until the next time you meet Wujing, so you can ask for clarification. Avalokiteshvara said.
For thousands of years, it has been proved that the red rock of the new weir built by Wujing is not more weathered than the blue rock. If the red rock is exposed to the same conditions as the cyan rock and is exposed to wind and rain at the same time, the red rock will definitely be more weathered than the cyan rock. Wujing used red rocks to build Xinpiyan, and these red rocks were flooded all year round, and it was impossible to weather. As a result, these red rocks are still strong and durable, and they show no signs of being shrunk by weathering. The joint point of this is that these red rocks have been soaked in water for many years!
Chang'e then reported to Guanyin Bodhisattva Xiangduan on the construction of the new weir by Wujing.
It is said that Sha Wujing and his senior brother Sun Wukong and Zhu Wuneng were on their way to the west with their master Tang monk Chen Xuanzang to learn scriptures, and on a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, they suddenly encountered a powerful tornado, which blew their master and apprentice and their horses to the wild dog rock mountain in Meitang Village, Qiyang County (now Qidong County), which is under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou Prefecture, and spent the night in the nunnery on the red rock opposite. The next day, they left the place with men and horses. Although it was only half an afternoon and half a night, their masters and apprentices each left "holy relics" and little-known stories for the Dragon Vein Holy Land - Tianzigang. After the Tang monks and apprentices left, the locals renamed Wild Dog Rock Mountain as Xianren Mountain. Meitang Mountain is beautiful, and the Tang monks and apprentices come here to visit, the mountains and rivers here are stained with fairy energy everywhere, and it has become a feng shui treasure and a tourist holy place for the earth spirits.
The description in the main "Tianzi Gang" is all the real scene of Meitang. The "Longmen Array" of Tianzigang, the earth-shaking stone dam carved on the red rock, makes you still brave to "fight" and "fight" more than 600 years later; "The bottom well" belongs to the source of the cracks in the earth's plate, the only source (well) in the world, and it has a longevity of a hundred years; Meitang smoke and rain - the spring group is famous in ancient and modern times at home and abroad; Rhino beauty - the stone statue is lifelike, although it is submerged by the water of the reservoir, but after the reservoir is released, you will be lucky enough to see it and will definitely linger; The chessboard on which Tang Seng of Xianrentai plays chess, as long as you touch it with your hands, there will be immortal qi possessed immediately, and your IQ will increase thousands of times; There is also a water conservancy project made of red rocks that is earlier than Dujiangyan - Xinpiyan; In addition, the "Civilization Bridge", "Xiantang" ruins, and the "Chastity Archway" γγγγγγ tour the Meitang landscape, which is a kind of feeling of entering the fairy scene, which is more refreshing than looking at the scenery of Guilin, and the artistic conception is more leisurelyγγγγγγ
Today's Meitang landscape - Xianren Mountain and Tianzigang γγγγγγ attract tourists from all over the world to come here all year round to watch the fairy scenery, drink holy water, and eat delicious food that prolongs life (such as bighead carp, catfish, eel, loach fish, trout, longevity fish, prince fish, soft-shelled turtle, Xianglian copper snail, Xianglian iron snail, field chicken, native chicken, pheasant, etc.).
Speaking of Wujing, the sand monk, he came to the place called Wild Dog Rock Mountain at that time and later called Xianren Mountain "full of confusion" that day. Seeing that the master and his brothers had gone to the vicinity to familiarize themselves with the terrain, Wujing told Bailongma to walk around the nearby villages and walk to the north side of Xianren Mountain by himself. As the sand monk walked, he found that this place was the junction of the gaps in the earth's tectonic plates. Many, many billions of years ago, for some reason, the Earth's tectonic plates went from splitting to colliding to reuniting. Judging from the characteristics of the terrain in southern China today, a red rock plate from the east violently collided with a cyan rock plate on the opposite side. The junction of the collision of the two major rock plates of red and blue is in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan and other provinces. Due to the force of the collision of the two plates at that time, the untestable high temperature was generated, which caused the fission of the mountain rocks in the front area of the collision of the two plates: there were spots of cyan rock in the red rocks; There are bits and pieces of red rock in the cyan rocks, resulting in a unique topographic terrain. Most obviously, the frontier of the red rock plate is represented by the Danxia Mountain Geopark in Guangdong Province; Representing the frontier of the cyan rock plate is the scenery of Guilin in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The junction (seam) of the front zone of the two plates stretches for thousands of kilometers and extends to the territory of Hunan Province. The most obvious marker is the Xiangjiang River system, which is close to the frontier of the red rock plate, from Yongzhou and Qiyang, through Qidong, Hengnan, Hengyang, Xiangtan, Changsha, to Dongting Lake. In Qidong County, the "top" of the frontier zone where the two major rock plates collide is in Meitang Village. The "fist" hill representing the red rock plate is called Tianzi Gang; The "shield" hill that represents the cyan rock plate is called Xianren Mountain. The southern slope of Xianren Mountain is a bluestone plate of blue color; The northern slope of Xianren Mountain is a blue red stone plate, and there is a group of springs under the southern slope of Xianren Mountain. There is also the spring water of "the bottom well" that flows continuously all year round, and the water is at a constant temperature, giving people a particularly refreshing feeling of being warm in winter and cool in summer. Tianzigang is about 1,000 meters away from the top of Xianren Mountain. The colors of the land on the slopes on both sides of the Xianren Mountain are distinct red and black (green), like a gap line, connecting them tightly together and extending into the distance. Monk Sha walked about two miles along the gap line and came to the Xinpiling hill on the boundary between Zhushan Courtyard and Zhoujia Courtyard.
For example, the Buddha used his five fingers to transform the five mountains of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Damu refers to the red rock of Jinshan, which is called Tianzigang; The rest of the wood, water, fire, and earth are blue rocks. The index finger of the wood mountain is called Taizi Peak; The middle finger water mountain is called the Jade Emperor Peak; The ring finger volcano is called the true dragon rock; The little finger earth mountain is called Banzai Ridge. The Five Elements Mountain Stone that Sun Wukong broke away in that year first rushed into the air at a height of 10,000 meters, and then fell into the Meitang area of Qiyang County, Yongzhou Prefecture, and became known as the Wulong Mountain that fell from the sky by the locals.
The first peak of "Wulong Mountain" is called Tianzigang. The remaining four peaks are respectively called "Prince Peak", "Jade Emperor Peak", "True Dragon Rock" and "Long Live Ridge". "Located near the loess shop. To count the Five Dragons Mountain, you must stand on the Tianzi Gang, and you must count the Tianzi Gang as the first peak of the Five Dragons. The fairy mountain is the gap line connecting the big finger and the index finger of the Buddha.
The peaks of the Five Dragons are all the peaks of the dragon veins! Guanyin Bodhisattva chose the Meitang area as a leisure place for Tang monks and apprentices, in order to take advantage of their leisure opportunity to store holy relics for the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land.
Monk Sha stood in Xinpi Ridge, looked north, and saw a small meandering river to the foot of the hill, which flowed slowly to the southeast.
