Chapter 11: Kuang Hongtao Qi Chen coffin, golden dragon carp into the cave court
Section 3 'Golden Scale Red Carp' has gone through "two catastrophes"
[Playback, narrator] 76-year-old abbot Master Kuang Hongtao's heart is surging: 50 years ago, I attended the "legendary and mysterious" funeral with my ancestors, and today I really have a spirit! The "Book of Heaven" left by the ancestors of Tang Seng and Xiao Hanqing, the testament presided over by Xiao Hanqing and Xiao Tianfu, is really all effective now!
The 76-year-old abbot master Kuang Hongtao remembers very clearly that the day after returning to Hengshan Temple with his former master Jiang Hongyan after performing the rituals of Chen Daocai and Zhao Meilin 50 years ago, Jiang Hongyan and his former master separately introduced to his disciple Kuang Hongtao the experience of the Chen family going through three generations, collecting and preparing holy relics, and the process of "opening the coffin" to protect the fish into the river in the future. This is Jiang Hongyan's wise move to deliberately cultivate Kuang Hongtao. Because Kuang Hongtao holds the secret of the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land, it has laid the "first opportunity" (immortal knowledge) conditions for Kuang Hongtao to take over as the abbot in the future.
Historical facts confirm that Guanyin Bodhisattva found that Tianzigang did belong to the Dragon Vein Holy Land. Guanyin Bodhisattva instructed Chen Xuanzang's masters and apprentices to reserve the four holy relics of "fish, grass, water, and wine" for the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land, all of which have been effective. If it weren't for the immortal battle from the Immortal Divine Court, the Tianzigang Dragon Vein would definitely protect the descendants of the Chen family as the founding emperor.
Historical facts have also confirmed that the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land has disrupted the procedures of the Dragon Vein Protector due to the immortal battle in the Immortal Realm, which has caused the ending of the Dragon Vein Protector to be displaced.
The ending of the immortal battle made the family surnamed Chen lose the "opportunity" conditions and advantages of "burying the dragon vein first". The ending of the immortal battle made Guanyin Bodhisattva hate for life. Guanyin Bodhisattva is known for his clever calculations, and everything is accurate. Only this fundraising of the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang is the only time in her life that she never expected, and it is the biggest failure that is not only the first time, but also the last time! Guanyin Bodhisattva later sighed: The good gods of the immortal world are not easy to do. Whether it is a mortal or an immortal, there is no escape from the open and secret struggle for selfishness, profit, fame, and desire, which is the genetic gene branded when the "main god" of creation gives life to all living beings.
Historical facts also confirm that whether it is a mortal or an immortal, the heroines among women have a strong desire to fight for power. In order to become the empress, Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty killed indiscriminately by any means for no reason, including killing his own flesh and blood compatriots. In order to compete for power with the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of Heaven schemed online to rape and harm vicious people, specializing in the deeds of yang and yin that harm others and benefit themselves. It is precisely because of the queen mother's competitive struggle for power that she interfered and made trouble, so that the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land had a change in the displacement of the lord, and it also cast a layer of dust on the reputation of Guanyin Bodhisattva's "miraculous calculation".
Historical facts also confirm that whether it is a mortal or a fairy, a mature man with a healthy physiology has the nature of being jealous of beautiful women. Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land, the most lucrative ending of the main displacement of the change, among which there is the reason why the male god is jealous of the goddess. If it weren't for the jealousy of the Heavenly Court Picketing the King Lingguan; If it weren't for the goddess Chang'e's dedication to Zhu Bajie - Zhu Wuneng; If it weren't for Wang Lingguan's "special damage moves", the "Yin damage expert", and another damage move, the Dragon Vein Blessing Lord of Tianzigang would definitely be another board.
It is precisely because mortals and immortals have endless selfishness, profit, fame, and desire to fight openly and secretly, that Guanyin Bodhisattva's carefully planned matter of the dragon vein of Tianzigang to bless the lord has occurred that the gods have also made mistakes, and it has become a classic example of breaking the theory of "always correct"! The ending of the mortal immortal gods' open and secret battle Tianzigang: 5 years later, Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In 1357 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Jiqing, renamed Yingtianfu (now Nanjing, Jiangsu), and was awarded the Pingzhang of Jiangnan Province by the "Song". Calling himself Wu Guogong. After that, he defeated Chen Youliang and called him King of Wu. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang successively eliminated Zhang Shicheng and sank Han Lin'er. On the fourth day of the first month of 1368 A.D., he saluted and called the emperor in the temple of Yingtian! The country name is the Ming Dynasty, the founding year name is "Hongwu", and the Yingtian is Kyoto. This is a later story, so let's not mention it for now!
[Vistas, stunts and close-ups] On the day the coffin was opened, there was a sea of people on Tianzigang. Not only the members of the Zhu and Chen families arrived, but also the men, women and children of the nearby Deng Family Courtyard, Tang Family Courtyard, Zou Family Courtyard, Xiao Family Courtyard, Nie Family Courtyard, Hua Family Courtyard, Liu Family Courtyard and other families came. There are also the Taoist priests in the Xianren Mountain Nunnery, that is, the descendants of "Xiao Hanqing and Xiao Tianfu". Presiding over the ceremony today is Kuang Hongtao, the abbot of Nanyue Hengshan Monastery.
The scene of the opening ceremony was spectacular. First of all, the people surnamed Chen burned incense and paper money (dark coins) under the grave; setting off firecrackers; Then the drummers beat the gongs, drums, and locks; The last is the "horn gunner" to put the "cupola". This kind of "horn cannon" is fired with iron, shaped like a buffalo horn, about one foot five inches long, the upper part is a round hole with a diameter of two inches, the middle is curved, the bottom is very little, and there is a small hole inserted into the fuse. The "horn cannon" is divided into three levels, the small cannon is loaded with one city and two gunpowder, and the sound spreads about 2 kilometers; The middle artillery was loaded with two gunpowder in three cities, and the sound spread for about 5 kilometers; The cannon was loaded with two gunpowders in five cities, and the sound spread for about 10 kilometers. The horn gunners are all served by Taoist priests, and they are charged according to the level and number of times the cannon is fired at the request of the donor. In the local area, no matter whether it is "red" or "white" happy events, they are willing to put "horn cannons". And pay attention to the more times you fire the shot, the more grand it will be. The cannons in the horn cannon are only used for the beginning and end of any ceremony, and the small cannons are temporarily used according to the actual situation of the ceremony site.
After the three loud (horn) cannons of the coffin opening ceremony, the scene was silent, and the abbot Kuang Hongtao loudly announced: The ceremony of protecting the fish into the river will start now!
"Donor Chen Anxin worships the ancestors!"
Chen Anxin led more than 20 men, women and children of his family to kneel in front of the smoke-filled "offering table", and all of them bowed three times to the grave in front of the offering table.
"Cannon fire, music, paper burning, golden scales and red carp leaping over the dragon gate!" With the loud voice of the 76-year-old abbot Master Kuang Hongtao, the ceremony of "protecting fish into the (Xiang) River" entered a climax.
At this time, a colorful cloud suddenly flew into the clear sky, blocking the hot sun in the southern autumn that was no longer like the summer. A swirling autumn wind swept the green smoke that had been floating in the air after the explosion of the fireworks and firecrackers from the sky back to the ground of Tianzigang. When the Chen family was worshipping their ancestors on the ground, paper money from four fires was burning in the southeast, northwest, southeast and northwest directions of the tomb. These paper coins are created using the ancient and traditional technique of papermaking. It is made of straw, the paper color is yellow, soft and hard, and it can be used for both wrapping food and making Buddha products. To make paper money from this paper, you first need to cut it into a rectangular piece of paper that is 18 centimeters long and 12 centimeters wide. Then, 30 sheets of paper are folded into a bundle. The bundled paper is placed on a wooden pier, and then a special "iron frustration" is used to make a notched semicircle. This kind of "iron frustration" mouth is two semicircles, by the blacksmith first beat a thin flat iron sheet, and then the iron sheet is beaten into a semicircle, the two semicircles and then the iron sheet is combined into one end, and the high temperature is burned red and cast into a piece, leaving only a 2 cm gap in front. With this kind of "iron frustration", the dozen pieces of paper are beaten through, leaving an unsealed "round mark" on the paper. On a piece of paper, three "circular marks" are made vertically; Make two "round marks" horizontally. When worshipping ancestors and burning, they should be torn one by one by hand, so that they can burn quickly and not emit big smoke. If it is not torn in advance, this kind of paper money with "round marks" can only burn in a dark flame, and a very thick smoke can be emitted.
When the Chen family worshiped their ancestors, the Chen family had already passed on to Chen Daocai's great-grandchild, Chen Anxin, and this time no one was arranged to tear the paper money in advance. As a result, the grave was surrounded by thick smoke.
Because, Chen Anxin didn't know in his heart whether this thick smoke was in line with the intentions of the gods or not. Chen Anxin could only miss his ancestors at this time. Back then, Chen Anxin's ancestors, because they had obtained the "heavenly machine" of the Dragon Vein Holy Land in Tianzigang in advance, their grandfather Chen Chujie, in order to find the exact location of the burial tomb, was carefully guided by Xiao Tianfu, the host of Meitang Nunnery.
Although Xiao Tianfu, the host of Meitang Nunnery, was blind due to the leakage of the "Heavenly Machine", he still guided Chen Chujie to meet the divine light in Tianzigang after three years with his quick thinking and experience beyond ordinary people, and found the exact location of his great-grandfather and great-grandmother. This time the coffin was opened to protect the fish into the Xiangjiang River, and Chen Anxin could not get the guidance of any elders! Xiao Tianfu, the presiding officer of Meitang Nunnery, died more than 30 years ago. Chen Anxin's grandfather, Chen Chujie, died more than 20 years ago. What made Chen Anxin even more heartbroken was that his father Chen Guangbiao also died of a sudden heart attack the year before last at the age of 49. Chen Anxin is 31 years old this year, although he is in the prime of his life, he has never heard of this sudden incident of opening the coffin to protect the fish into the Xiangjiang River, and no one in the neighborhood and distant relatives has ever experienced it. He didn't get any guidance from any of his elders. You can only act according to your feelings and follow the tips of the masters of Hengshan Temple.
Kuang Hongtao, the abbot of Hengshan Temple, attended the funeral of Chen An'an's grandfather 50 years ago. According to Kuang Hongtao, the abbot of Hengshan Temple, he and three other junior disciples were put into the tomb together for "four" treasures for burial.
"Master Chen, this time open the coffin to protect the fish into the river, if there is really a golden-scaled red carp in the tomb, it is really a Bodhisattva manifestation, and the immortal blesses the god protects the dragon vein holy land of Tianzigang." Kuang Hongtao and Chen Anxin said yesterday when they were studying this ritual.
"Abbot Kuang, listen to my elders, 50 years ago, when you put the 'red carp fossil', you put the 'stone fish' in your hand and kissed and kissed, and your reluctant attitude touched many onlookers who followed you and shed sad tears. Finally, after you put the 'red carp fossil' in the tomb, you wept and fainted in the tomb. Chen Anxin said.
"You haven't seen a 'red carp fossil', so it's hard for me to put into words how I felt at the time. A 'red carp fossil' that is about 30 centimeters long and 10 centimeters tall can turn in circles when it looks at me. I always feel like it's alive. I could feel it wet in my palms. It's not just an ordinary 'red carp fossil'. It should come to the fairy realm or the heavenly court. Kuang Hongtao and Chen Anxin said.
"Abbot Kuang, I'm not very old, and I haven't seen much of the world. You personally attended my grandparents' funerals. This time, the coffin is opened to protect the fish, and how the Dharma is done is all arranged by you. Chen Anxin said.
"My instinct is that the 'red carp fossil' should now be a real live carp with a lively dragon. This time it will jump ten jumps to complete the transformation of the 'Reborn Dragon'. Therefore, in this Dharma activity, everything proceeds from reality and goes with the flow. Kuang Hongtao said.
Chen Anxin listened to the preaching of Kuang Hongtao, the abbot of Hengshan Temple, and the handling of paper money went with the flow, so that the dark fire that did not see the light slowly smoked in the pile of paper money with "round marks". The piles of paper money in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, at this time, were burned for a period of time, and the smoke and sparks became heavier and heavier. In addition, a gust of autumn wind turned from the sky, and the entire Tianzigang was shrouded in smoke.
With the loud noise of the abbot of Hengshan Temple, Kuang Hongtao's "Fish Guarding Ceremony Entering the River Now Begins", the tomb of the Chen family in Tianzigang has undergone magical changes in an instant.
The master of ceremonies stopped setting off firecrackers and playing music. The horn gunners also stopped firing guns!
Chen Anxin felt the strange silence of the entire Tianzi Gang! The smoke is like a big air hood, and the people in the air hood can't be seen from a distance of one or two meters.
"The mound of this tomb must be cultivated every year during the Qingming Festival. The mound is tightly sealed, and the tomb is not breathable, can a lifeless 'fossil' really become a living fish in an airtight tomb? Chen An'an was looking forward to it more anxiously than anyone else.
What if there is no 'golden-scaled red carp' alive in the grave? There must really be golden-scaled red carp in the grave, which is the virtue accumulated by the ancestors of my Chen family; If there are no fish in the grave, it means that I have no divine fate. If there were really no fish in the grave, I, Chen Anxin, would really not have the face to go to the underworld to see my ancestors and ancestors.
The autumn wind is blowing more and more and more spinning, and the smoke in Tianzigang is getting thicker and thicker. The people of the hill have entered a state of forgetting their existence in this worldly realm. The graves of Chen An'an's grandfather and grandmother are changing silently. The earth and stones on the mound of graves magically spread out in all directions. Chen Anxin's original plan to arrange for four people to manually dig up the grave with a hoe was replaced by a magical force. People farther away from the grave were obscured by the smoke and did not have the opportunity to witness this miraculous change. Chen Anxin, Kuang Hongtao, and the four people who used hoes to manually dig up the grave, as well as the eight mages from Hengshan Temple, witnessed this divine power from the divine realm clearly. The gravel and grass on the original mound of earth quickly spread out in all directions, revealing a pile about four meters long; about two meters wide; A pit pond about two meters deep.
At this time, the autumn wind on the top of Tianzigang Mountain suddenly increased its strength, and the original rotating wind direction changed to a southeast wind. The smoke on the hill was blown away by the southeast wind and dispersed in a northwesterly direction. People on the hill have woken up from their confusion. Just now, the divine power dug the grave, and it was really a bodhisattva manifestation. People don't want the abbot to preside over the order, and they all spontaneously bow down to the sky, silently praying in their hearts for the gods to bless them; Bless your dearest and dearest loved ones; Bless your family with peace and happiness!
After the smoke cleared, Chen Anxin was eager to see a carp with golden scales shining all over its body in the grave pond shuttling in the pond. Chen Anxin's original hanging heart finally returned to the original position of his ventricle. The myths he had listened to from his elders since he was a child were not "nonsense". This vivid carp shows that the four treasures buried in the funeral 50 years ago are real. The ancestors of the Chen family did good deeds and accumulated virtue to obtain divine fate, and the dragon vein holy land of Tianzigang showed divine might. Immortal blessing God protects my Chen family, and in the future, the emperor will be able to produce the talent of the emperor and general. Chen Anxin immediately bowed three times to the "golden-scaled red carp" in the pool.
Kuang Hongtao, the abbot from Hengshan Temple, was even more awakened by this "golden-scaled red carp". He saw that the "golden-scaled red carp" in the pond was about 70 to 80 centimeters long. There is about 20 centimeters of water in the grave pond, and the "golden-scaled red carp" is shuttling in the pool with its upper body exposed.
This "Golden Phosphorus Red Carp" was originally the incarnation of the thirteenth prince of Yulong, the king of the Ao Leap Dragon of the West Sea. In that year, in order to temper the thirteen princes, the Ao Yan Dragon King of the West Sea took the opportunity of Guanyin Bodhisattva to raise holy relics for the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang, and handed over the red rock of the thirteenth prince, the jade dragon incarnation of "golden phosphorus red carp", to the carp queen in the Xiangjiang River to Wujing who repaired the new Piyan. After Wujing brought it back, he handed it over to his master Chen Xuanzang. Before Chen Xuanzang left Meitang, he handed over the red rock of the jade dragon incarnated into "Golden Phosphorus Red Carp" as the head of the holy relics to Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing, the presiding officer of Meitang Nunnery. Hundreds of years later, Chen Chujie discovered the 'Book of Heaven' written by Chen Xuanzang and learned the secret of the dragon vein of Tianzigang. Chen Chujie was fortunate to obtain the Four Holy Lands of Compensation, and when he buried his deceased parents 50 years ago, he buried the red rock of the jade dragon incarnated as a "golden phosphorus red carp" in the grave.
The "Golden Phosphorus Red Carp" incarnated by the Thirteen Princes of the Jade Dragon has been honed for decades in the tomb of Tianzigang. Today, it suddenly felt the dirt on the top of the grave rising. In an instant, all the dirt in the graveyard was gone, and a ray of sunlight shone into the grave. The "Golden Phosphorus Red Carp" incarnated by the Thirteenth Prince of the Jade Dragon finally saw the sunshine after a long absence, and the joy in its heart could not be expressed, and it jumped happily in the grave. The Thirteenth Prince of the Jade Dragon thought to himself, my tempering has finally reached the deadline. I have experienced two great tribulations in this small graveyard, and today is my last great tribulation!
The "Golden Phosphorus Red Carp" incarnated by the thirteenth prince of the Jade Dragon is haunted by the first two disasters. When they were first buried in the grave, the gap between the two coffins was small. The holy water, holy wine, and holy grass that accompanied the burial together all became real bodies in an instant. I also went from a fossil to a small living golden phosphorus red carp. Wandering day and night in the narrow graveyards. Later, after the two coffins decomposed, the space in the tomb increased considerably. My body has also grown a lot. There was a severe drought one year, and there was no heavy rain in the Tianzigang area for more than 100 days. There is less and less water in the graves. I could only lie in the graveyard and breathe with half of my mouth half-open on my side. For nearly half a month, I fainted to death in the grave. When I had the strength, I turned over every 4 hours and moistened the fish phosphorus on both sides of my body with shallow water! Later, the energy in my body was basically exhausted, and the strength to turn over was gone, so I could only dry up the fish phosphorus on one side. I thought to myself, this time my soul is out of the fish, I should go home to my parents, brothers and sisters! Before I died, I began to have some resentment for my father's partiality! I have so many brothers and sisters, why did you choose me to go to the mortal realm to hone my training! What kind of heart does my father have? Is it true that my soul is leaving the living body like this? Why am I getting more and more conscious? I believe it's all my life! My father asked me to come and hone, and my father must protect me in secret! It is impossible for my father to scatter me in the mortal realm! I believe it all happened to fate! In the training, I believe that all the changes that happen are what I have to experience! I firmly believe that no matter how difficult it is, it will be a test of my will! As long as I firmly believe that sooner or later there will be a 'devil' to raise the grave, and sooner or later my third tribulation will be experienced! Now is the time to wait for your chance!
The "Golden Phosphorus Red Carp" incarnated by the Thirteenth Prince of the Jade Dragon, I felt that the water soaking my body was increasing in my coma, and I didn't need to turn over to soak the phosphorus tablets on both sides of my body. Later, the water in the pool allowed me to swim as much as I wanted! This chivalrous day did not last a few days, and bad luck followed. The grave was washed away by the heavy rain, and all the mud and soil that had buried the coffin collapsed, and there was no gap in the whole grave for me to swim in. I was trapped in the mud and sand. It's good that all this mud and dirt is wet. I shook my head and waged my tail all day long, pushing the mud and dirt around me to the sides! These fine (wet) sand and mud are long and muddy together. Under my vigorous slap, an arched underwater realm was formed at the bottom of the tomb. I have another square meter of activity space. I spin, roll, move freely in this space. Since this tomb is carved into a red rock and is four square meters in size, the water that flows into the pool when it rains does not leak lightly. Because the soil and sand on the top of the grave are sheltered from direct sunlight, it is difficult for the water in the grave to evaporate. I'm in this dark graveyard, never stopping! I am traveling day by day, and my body is growing day by day. I feel like my body is getting stronger and stronger. Every day, I have to jump to expand the sand on top of the top in all directions. The arch is getting higher and higher, and the height of my jumps is increasing day by day. I can now accurately grasp the timing and speed of my jump, and control the height and distance of my jump with ease! I became a master of fish jumping. I'm definitely not boasting, if all the fish on the planet organize a jumping competition, I would be the gold medalist!
I don't know what kind of work my father wants me to practice in this small tomb? Anyway, in order to survive, in order to expand my living space, I practice jumping day and night! Slowly, I realized a lot of ingenuity. All of this, I believe, will be useful for my future survival! (In fact, in a very short period of time, it has used its children's skills that it has practiced for decades - jumping, this is the good intentions of its father) Through this tempering again and again, I deeply realized that the crisis of the survival of aquarium fish on the earth is intensifying! The living environment of aquarium fish in rivers and streams is being destroyed (polluted) by 'devils' (fish call humans devils)! This group of 'devils' who suddenly appeared on the earth is terrible! They can use nets, forks, baskets, iron rods, and anything else to make fish dead! This group of 'devils' is growing at a terrible rate on the earth, and they can quickly gather into a flock in a very short period of time. These swarms of 'devils' hunting our fish are even more terrible! They can kill thousands of tons of fish in a day! It's horrible! The end of fish is coming! My end is near! I have been waiting for the devil to come and open the grave. 50 years, exactly 50 years! God was born for several 50 years. I am the son of a dragon and a grandson of a dragon, and I should gallop in the great lake and the sea. If I don't crappy in this graveyard, I, a dragon in the prime of my life, will have to find at least three or five girlfriends! With my appearance, it is impossible for me to be alone and keep an empty grave! I haven't gained weight in decades, but I've mastered a lot of the difficult movements of jumping! I believe in fate! Believe that all this is a bittersweet working procedure. How can you see a rainbow without wind and rain! Suffer first and then go to God! It takes tempering to become a god! My hard days have finally come to an end!
The "Golden Phosphorus Red Carp" incarnated by the thirteenth prince of the Jade Dragon has a new realm of understanding of his father's strict cub breeding. My father once said to me, let me go to the mortal realm first to hone my talents, and then when I return to the Dragon Palace, I will be a general, and do more things for the god realm, the fairy realm, and the mortal realm!
Don't let these 50 years go to waste! I was trapped in the grave pond for 50 years by my father's incarnation of a 'golden phosphorus red carp'. These 50 years have left me useless in this little graveyard! Well, today I finally saw the sun. My grind is over. I'm going back to where I need to go, and I'm going to do what I have to do for the aqua! I know I'm still in danger today! I am destined to be a god who 'does not die in great calamities, but will have (thick) blessings in the future'. I have escaped two catastrophes, and the last catastrophe is nothing to me. I believe in myself, I believe that I have escaped this worst catastrophe and I am more confident! See you again! Master Hengshan! See you again! Master of the Chen family!
Kuang Hongtao saw the "golden-scaled red carp" shuttling in the pool, turning back and forth, showing his head and swinging his tail, which was completely a kind and friendly expression. Kuang Hongtao felt that between him and the "golden-scaled red carp", there was naturally a sense of intimacy in his heart that he had been reunited after a long absence. It's been 50 years, and you have really turned from a lifeless stone into a vivid "golden-scaled red carp"! You are the descendant of God, you are the embodiment of God, you are the dispatch of God, you are the messenger of God who blesses mankind!
