Chapter 15 Jade Dragon Chang'e returns to the West Sea, and there are many interesting anecdotes about the cycle of life and death

In the fourth section, Ao Yan and Lulu suddenly disappeared from Qiantang Chao

[Narrator] Chang'e, the new deputy director of the General Office of the Standing Committee of the Heavenly Court and the 'special assistant' of the Queen Mother, according to the will of the Queen Mother, took the opportunity of her honeymoon vacation to the Xihai Dragon Palace to prepare for the XQ 'Elite on Buddhist Sutras' conference jointly organized by the Heavenly Court and the Buddha Realm, and came to the office of the Buddha in the Leiyin Treasure Temple of Tianzhu Lingshan. If the Buddha arranged for Guanyin Bodhisattva to go to the Dragon Palace of the West Sea to prepare for the XQ 'Elite on Buddhist Sutras' conference jointly held by Heaven and the Buddha World! The Queen Mother and the Buddha discussed and decided that the theme of this year's 'Elite on Buddhist Sutras' conference was "eugenics". The Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva will give lectures on "eugenics". The theme of the next "Elite on Buddhist Sutras" conference is "Environment and Survival", and the Queen Mother, Marshal Yulong, Chang'e Meishen and other keynote speeches! When the Buddha met with Chang'e, the deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Heavenly Court and the special assistant to the Queen Mother, he gave (arranged) the work to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and wanted to tell his proud disciples and the "proud protégés" of the Queen Mother in advance about the theme of the speech at the "Elite on Buddhist Sutras" conference. Therefore, in the office, the Buddha asked Chang'e and Guanyin Bodhisattva to use Chang'e's newlywed husband - Yulong's parents "free love, distant relatives marriage, eugenics" to create a "unique in the world, both civil and military, physical, and outstanding" outstanding young man - Yulong's typical god (human) character, expounding on the ancestors of the dragon clan to implement the guiding ideology of "eugenics" and reform the bad habit of "close relatives marriage". Promote "tribal (international) marriages." Implement a series of "eugenics" policies such as "planning and planning for childbirth". It has accelerated the evolution of the "dragon race" to the "high-intelligence race" (advanced animals - humans)!

"Lulu, since your father agreed to marry you away from home, and followed your wishes, why are you still crying so sadly?" Guanyin said to Lulu with a smile.

"Bodhisattva, I'm happy! One of the things that Yulong and I were most worried about was that my father would not agree to our marriage! Now that my father has agreed, we have become the first couple in the dragon clan to find a partner to marry and start a family! We are the first (international) marriage in the world to hedge out of the tribe! Lulu wiped away tears of joy and held Guanyin's hands in excitement. His feet kept jumping and talking!

"Ao Yan, Lulu's father agrees that you will take her as his wife, which is Lulu's father's trust in you; It was also your excellent performance of hard work and hard work that moved him! You and Lulu must love each other with true love, no matter before or after marriage, you must continue to give her your sincerity! Don't let down Lulu's father's love for you! Guanyin Bodhisattva said to Ao Yan with a smile.

"Bodhisattva, please rest assured! I still swore to Lulu since I was a child: I will never take a wife for the rest of my life if Lulu is not my wife! Now that Lulu's father has agreed to me taking Lulu as his wife, I will care for her for the rest of my life! "The son of the old dragon king of the West (Bohai) Sea, Ao Yan, swore to Guanyin Bodhisattva!

"Ao Yan, you are the first man in the dragon clan in the world to take a woman from another country (tribe) as his wife. You have to hold a huge wedding ceremony, so that the dragon clan in the world knows: the marriage of the most beautiful and beautiful girl in the North (Yellow) Sea and the most handsome and handsome guy in the West (Bohai) Sea has created a precedent for intimacy and friendship between tribes (countries) and tribes (countries) for generations! Guanyin Bodhisattva said to Ao Yan with a solemn face.

"Good! Bodhisattva! My wedding celebration with Lulu. Please come and give us a live guide! I must make my wedding celebration with Lulu vigorous and lively. At least to the point of earth-shattering! "The son of the old dragon king of the West (Bohai) Sea, Ao Yan, said to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"It's better for both of you parents to negotiate it! I'm Lulu's best friend. But when I enter the Buddha Gate and the Dharma crosses my body, I still avoid scenes such as kissing and loving and hugging between you men and women. Avalokiteshvara said.

"Bodhisattva, you said that your father had agreed to our marriage, but he didn't say anything about the time for me to get married?" Lulu asked Avalokiteshvara with a smile.

"Your father didn't say anything about it. Lulu, don't be in a hurry to get married, it's better to fall in love for a few years first, and then get married after a few years of testing Ao Yan! Avalokiteshvara said to Lulu with a solemn face.

"Bodhisattva, I have been in love with Lulu for decades, and I am afraid that I will be confused if I test it for a few more years! I beg you to tell my father that we should get married as soon as possible, and give my father and the king a grandson as soon as possible. Father is willing to listen to you. "The son of the old dragon king of the West (Bohai) Sea, Ao Yan, said to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Ao Yan, don't be stinky! I'll have to wait at least two years before I agree to marry you! Lulu opened a pair of Danfeng eyes wide, and said with a smile to Ao Yan, the son of the old dragon king of the West (Bohai) Sea.

"Good! Ao Run, I think the time for you two to get married will wait for another 2 years as Lulu said. In these 2 years, you have to stand the test! Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said to Ao Yan, the son of the old dragon king of the West (Bohai) Sea.

"I promise to pass the test! Please watch me in action! "The son of the old dragon king of the West (Bohai) Sea, Ao Yan, swore to Guanyin Bodhisattva and Lulu with great confidence!

"Good!" Avalokiteshvara and Lulu said in unison!!

Guanyin Bodhisattva immediately planned a set of global travel plans for Ao Yan and Lulu, and decided to randomly test Ao Yan's love for Lulu on the way.

"Ao Run, Lulu. I have asked your parents for leave and agreed that you two will set off from the West (Bohai) Sea for a round-the-world trip from land. Guanyin Bodhisattva said to Ao Yan and Lulu with a smile!

"Good! Bodhisattva, the matter of the two of us makes you worry about it very much, so how can we thank you! Ao Yan and Lulu said this common kind sentence at the same time!

"If you two say kind words, you will see the outside! If you two want to be grateful to me, let me eat your two candy as soon as possible! Guanyin said with a smile.

"I just said that it's good, no matter how soon you get married, you have to wait two years! We'll give you lots and lots of the best candy in the world! Lulu, the daughter of Ao Ba, the king of the Northern (Yellow) Sea, said with a smile.

"What is later. You two better go out for a walk and take a look. The world outside is wonderful. The customs and customs are very different from place to place. All kinds of animals live in different ways! You two need to be clear. All living beings in the world are trying to survive in the cruel magic of nature. Whichever kind of animal on the earth is more advanced, which kind of animal will dominate the world. The two of you are shouldering the heavy responsibility of the dragon's super-forward and optimization. You two will have to pass through many tribes (countries) along the way, and you will encounter many unexpected difficulties. The time is only 1 month. I don't walk with you both. When your lives are in danger, as long as you call me in your hearts, I will appear in front of you both immediately! After Guanyin finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared.

[Distant and close-up shots] Ao Yan and Lulu quickly changed into a pair of fashionably dressed young men and women, landing from the old Tieshan in Lushunkou at the junction of the West (Bohai) Sea and the North (Yellow) Sea. All the way along the tribal stations where the land people living near the "Four Seas" are relatively concentrated, from Yingkou, Shanhaiguan, Tanggu, Yantai, Qingdao, Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places in the West (Bohai) Sea!

[Distant and close-up shots] Ao Yan and Lulu rode horses all the way from north to south along the land route, stayed day and night, and walked for nearly half a month. On the 18th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, they came to the Qiantang River in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and became two tourists who watched the Qiantang River tide, one of the three major tides in the world (the other two major tides are the Ganges tide in India and the Amazon tide).

Ao Yan and Lulu were very excited when they saw the tide of the Qiantang River!

"Lulu, since I was born, I have roamed countless waters on Earth. I have seen countless water landscapes, but there is really no water landscape that is so spectacular. Ao Yan was right. Because Ao Yan only swims in China's 'four seas' and rivers and lakes. He has not crossed the ocean or wandered other seas. There are three of the most famous tidal spots in Chinese history: Qingzhou Chao in Shandong, Guangling Tao and Qiantang Chao. The tide of the Qiantang River is the most spectacular tide. There are also three of the most spectacular tides in the world: the Ganges tide in India, the Amazon tide and the Qiantang River tide.

From the 16th to the 18th day of August in the lunar calendar every year, it is the time when the tide of the Qiantang River is the largest. The reason for this phenomenon is the unique geographical environment of the Qiantang River region. Due to the natural law that the earth revolves around the sun and the moon revolves around the earth, and the earth itself has to rotate once within 24 hours, the sun, the moon, and the earth are almost in a straight line from August 16 to 18 of the lunar calendar every year. Therefore, these factors all contribute to the largest gravitational force (the difference between the gravitational force of the moon, the sun or other celestial bodies on the earth's unit mass object and the gravitational force on the earth's centroid object, or the resultant force of the inertial centrifugal force generated by the earth's movement around the Earth's Earth-moon (sun) center of mass and the moon (sun) gravity). The gravity of celestial bodies and the centrifugal action of the Earth's rotation, coupled with the special topography of the horn mouth of Hangzhou Bay, caused a huge tidal surge. There are also nearly 500,000 acres of reclamation embankments (land) east of Zheshan on the south bank of the Qiantang River, blocking the river mouth like a peninsula, making the 12th section of the Qiantang River from Zheshan to the outer 12 like bottles with large stomachs and small mouths, and the tide is easy to advance and difficult to retreat. The outer mouth of Hangzhou Bay is as wide as 100 kilometers, only a few kilometers wide to the outer 12th section, the riverbed of the eastern section of the estuary rises suddenly, the beach is high and the water is shallow, when a large amount of tide water pours in from the Qiantang estuary, because the river surface shrinks rapidly, the tide does not have time to rise evenly, so it has to push the back wave to the front wave, layer by layer. Secondly, it is also related to the sedimentation of the Qiantang River. These sediments block and rub against the tide, steepening the front slope of the tide and slowing down the speed, thus forming a wave of swells in which the back waves catch up with the front waves, and the waves are stacked on top of each other. Due to the siltation of sediment, a sandbar is formed in the river, and the tidal wave from Hangzhou Bay is divided into two streams, namely the east tide and the south tide. At the moment when the two tides collide, a column of water is stirred up, several feet high, and the waves splash and are thrilling.

Ao Yan saw the most beautiful water landscape in the world, and he was full of poetry. In order to show Lulu his literary talent, he immediately wrote a poem:

Immortals praise the gods and praise the wonderful scene

The sun turns and the stars move the tide of Qiantang

The wall of water and the sand increase the phantom

The beauty is back and adds a new one

Turning over the river and pouring the sea and splashing jade beads

Fueling the flames

White waves are stacked with water barriers

Rushing to the beach, towering the peaks and striking the blue sky

Ao Yan and Lulu stood in the crowd, watching the unique Qiantang River tide in the world!

At the beginning of the tide, a white line flashed on the river. Accompanied by a rumbling sound. The tide is from far and near. Flying in. The tide pushes and embraces. The sound is like thunder, and in an instant, the tide peak rises a wall of water three or four meters high and stands upright on the surface of the river, spraying beads and splashing jade, like ten thousand horses galloping. Every year on the eighteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the tide of the Qiantang River is the largest, and the tide head can reach several meters. In addition to the three days before and after August 18 of the lunar calendar, there are large tides on the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth day of the middle of the lunar month. And can be used as a tide three to see the "tide chasing tour". Haining Yanguan Town, 50 kilometers away from Hangzhou, is the best place to watch the tide.

[Distant view, close view plus close-up] In ancient times, Hangzhou watched the tide, with Phoenix Mountain and Jianggan as the best place. Due to the change of geographical location, from the Ming Dynasty, Haining Yanguan was the first resort to watch the tide, so it is also called 'Haining Tide View'. 'Qianjiang Qiutao' is well-known at home and abroad. On the day of watching the tide, especially a few days before and after the 18th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the cars on the road are like water and the people are surging. Overlooking the bell mouth of the Qiantang River to the sea, the tide forms a turbulent wave, like a galloping horse, and encounters the sand of the riverbed near Lupu and is blocked. The tidal waves are 3 to 5 meters high, and the tidal range can reach 9 to 10 meters. There is indeed a trend of 'the monstrous turbidity waves are emptied, and the rivers and mountains can be destroyed'. Different locations can enjoy different tide scenes: the tower side to watch the 'first-line tide', Babao to see the 'confluence tide', and the old salt warehouse to enjoy the 'turning tide'. On the south bank of the Qiantang River, Xiaoshan, Nanyang's Zheshan Beauty Dam and Haining's Yanguan Town are the best scenic spots to watch the Qianjiang tide. The main thing to watch at the beauty dam is the "turning tide". "Beauty two turn back". "Turning tide" refers to the tide that is rapidly advancing and is formed when it encounters artificial obstacles such as dams.

[Narrator] A section of the sea pond in the southeast of Yanguan Town, Haining City, is the best spot. The tide here is the most prosperous, and it is characterized by a line of alignment, so it has the reputation of "Haining Pagoda a line tide". At the beginning of the tide, a white line across the river flashed in the sky, accompanied by a rumbling sound, like a muffled thunder rolling in the sky. The tide is coming from far and near. It's like a flock of white swans lined up in a line, thousands of heads are crowded, flapping their wings and flying. The tide pushes and embraces, the sound gradually intensifies, in an instant, the tide peak of Bai Lian like rushes in front of you, towers up a water wall three or four meters high and stands upright on the river surface, pouring waves, spraying beads and splashing jade, like ten thousand horses galloping. The tide swelled to the sea pond, and even set off a 9-meter-high tide peak, and sure enough, 'the monstrous turbidity waves emptied, turning over the river and the sea and mountains for destruction!' It is said that one year, a "Zhenhai Xiongshi" weighing one ton was rushed out more than 100 meters away. When the tide reverberates greatly, the tide flies away calmly. Someone wrote: "The tide splashes snow and floats in the sky, and the tide goes to thunder and is silent", which very accurately depicts the spectacular scene of the tide coming and going.

[Narrator] At the second good spot of the tide, Babao, 8 kilometers east of Yanguan Town, you can enjoy the wonder of the collision of the tides. After the tide rises into the estuary, because of the different topography of the north and south banks, the tide speed is fast in the south and slow in the north, and the tide head is gradually divided into two sections. The southern section of the rapid progress is called the southern tide; In the eyes of tide watchers on the north bank, the tide head of the northern section is from the east, so it is called the east tide. When the south tide rushed to the south bank and was swung back, it turned around and rushed north, just in time to collide with the belated east tide. Suddenly, there was a loud noise, like a landslide and the ground cracked, and thousands of snow peaks rose all over the river, which was really shocking!

[Distant and close-up view] Zheshan Bay, located in Xiaoshan and Nanyang on the south bank of the Qianjiang River, is a large river bay that recesses southward at the mouth of the Qiantang River. Here, there is a 'T-shaped dam' about 500 meters long that plunges directly into the center of the river, like a giant arm that turns the tide. When the tide goes west to this, the whole line and the embankment into an acute angle to pounce, the tide head within the dam head and the dam body, the embankment form a right-angle triangle, the two ends of the tide head line are blocked, respectively along the dam body and the embankment to the right-angle apex of the force, and finally in the dam root "boom" a roar, the surging wave is like a sudden rise of the lion, into a water column, straight into the sky, up to more than ten meters. Due to the dam across the river, the upright tide turns back, forming a strange turning tide that 'rolls up the sand like a snowdrift'. At this time, the river came and went, rolling up and down, rushing endlessly.

The Zheshan Beauty Dam in Nanyang will not only produce a turning tide, but also produce the phenomenon of "cupola tide", which is a special tide that occurs at the intersection of the embankment and the dam. It is the most attractive tide in the close-up view. The tide is like being caught in a net, and at the corner where the intersect, the tide "bangs" and crashes with a loud sound, and the tide head goes straight to the sky. A column of water rises, with a low one of two or three meters and a high one of more than ten meters.

[Distant view, close-up view plus close-up] in the third tide viewing point - the old salt warehouse 12 kilometers west of Yanguan Town, you can enjoy the "return (return) tide". Here, there is a 9-meter-high, 650-meter-long "T-shaped dam" that plunges straight into the center of the river, like a giant arm that turns the tide. The tide has come to this. The momentum has diminished slightly. But rushed to the head of the T-shaped dam. It is still like a thousand male lions roaring and leaping up, and the waves are heavy. Then the tide turned, and it returned to the pond bank, and rushed straight to the people watching the tide at the top of the pond. The sudden attack of this returning tide often catches the tide watchers by surprise and fles in shock.

Haining tide watching is also divided into day and night. During the daytime, you can watch the tide with a wide field of vision and a panoramic view of the angry tide. It's a lot of fun. And watching the night tide when the moon is in the sky is even more interesting.

With the crowded crowd, Ao Yan and Lulu came to the old salt warehouse 12 kilometers west of Yanguan Town to enjoy the "return (return) tide". Like many tourists, Ao Yan and Lulu took off their shoes and socks, rolled up their trouser legs, held hands, and came to the beach to play in the water with a smile! Like the young people, Ao Yan and Lulu ran quickly backwards to the shore when the tide came up; When the tide goes down. So they quickly rode the waves and chased them into the water. Just Ao Yan and Lulu

Chasing the waves and having fun when suddenly. They heard a very familiar voice coming from the crowd: "Ao Yan, Lulu, you two hurry up, the 'turning tide' here is dangerous!" ”

Ao Yan and Lulu followed the sound and looked through the crowd, only to see Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed into a plainly dressed country girl, standing on the shore of the sea line at the height of the tide, smiling and waving to them!

"Bodhisattva, why are you here too!" Ao Yan and Lulu held hands and quickly ran towards where Guanyin Bodhisattva was standing! At this moment, a turning tide had formed, like ten thousand lions roaring and leaping up, and the waves were thousands of heavy, rushing back to the backs of Ao Yan and Lulu. Just when Ao Yan and Guanyin Bodhisattva were less than a meter away, the tide behind Ao Yan and Lulu swept over the heads of Ao Yan and Lulu and Guanyin Bodhisattva with a bang. The tide of this tide is 4-5 meters high, and it rushes up to a distance of about 5 meters from the original standing point of Guanyin Bodhisattva before returning to retreat. Other tourists, such as Ao Yan and Lulu and Guanyin, had just shown their heads in the rising tide and were swept into the sea by this receding tide!

[Distant and close-up shots] Ao Yan had just stood firm in the rising tide, opened his eyes, and watched Guanyin Bodhisattva and Lulu being swept away by the tide. Ao Yan quickly threw his body forward 5-6 meters away, stretched out his right hand and grabbed Guanyin Bodhisattva's hands, quickly turned around and pushed Guanyin Bodhisattva to a shallow place in the sea to stand, and then turned back and threw himself into the receding tide, chasing the tide peak and swimming towards Lulu. When Ao Yan and Lulu held hands and swam back, another rising tide had formed. This tide peak is overwhelming, and in an instant, tourists such as Ao Run, Lulu and Guanyin Bodhisattva are swept in! When the tide retreated back to the deep waters, Ao Run, Lulu and Guanyin Bodhisattva and other tourists disappeared! The tourists standing high on the shore all felt sorry for the dozen or so people who were swept away by the tide just now!

"How brave that young man was just now! In order to save one more girl, he even took his own life in the end. "Tourists standing high on the shore are talking!

In fact, the tourists who were really swept away by the tide peak were Ao Yan, Lulu and Guanyin Bodhisattva. Ao Yan and Lulu are both dragons, born living creatures in water, water is an important part of their lives, and they are not afraid of water. Guanyin Bodhisattva is a fairy who transcends Buddhism, with endless changes, and water, fire, thunder and lightning cannot pose a threat to her life!

[Narrator] (According to the author's research: Accidents involving people in the tide of the Qiantang River have occurred from time to time throughout the ages.) At around 16:30 on August 2, 2007, more than 30 people were swept away by the tide in the waters near the T-shaped dam at No. 1 Qibao in Xiasha, Jianggan District, Hangzhou, resulting in 11 deaths. ）

Guanyin Bodhisattva was swept away by the tide peak this time, and she deliberately took the opportunity to inform Ao Yan and Lulu to end the trip early. The Queen Mother adjusted the timing of their marriage. Ao Yan and Lulu's marriage has undergone a major change. The Queen Mother wanted to be the god of their marriage, and took the opportunity to inspect the sailors and announce the adjustment of major human (spiritual) affairs.
