Chapter 13 The Queen Mother of the West competes for the throne of the emperor and the dragon vein

Section 1: "Who Dare to Despise My Heavenly Court"

It is said that Guanyin Bodhisattva watched the moon in the open air outside the Leiyin Treasure Temple in Tianzhu Lingshan on the night of August 15 (Mid-Autumn Festival) in the crisp autumn of that year, and truthfully reported to the Buddha and the gods the whole process of the "main displacement of the stack" in the dragon vein holy land of Tianzigang.

The reason for the 'main displacement of the stack' in the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land is intricate. After exploring and thinking, Guanyin Bodhisattva summarized that there are four main factors, and they happened to gather together. First, the Queen Mother blames Guanyin Bodhisattva for acting arbitrarily and despising heaven; The second is that the Queen Mother resents Guanyin Bodhisattva for abusing Chang'e as a 'special envoy' to disturb the Heavenly Court's 'Love Guidelines'; the third is that the Heavenly Court Police Wang Lingguan is jealous of Chang'e's dedication to the pig Wuneng; Fourth, as the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the excellent conditions of time, divine fate, and terrain than Chen Youliang.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the land of the Central Plains was surging, and heroes from all walks of life competed for hegemony. Chen Youliang, the leader of the beggar gang with many disciples, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the helmsman who was in charge of a rudder, fought openly and secretly for decades, but the result was that Chen Youliang had never fought Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. According to folklore, Chen Youliang failed to fight Zhu Yuanzhang back then, and one of the reasons that could not be disclosed to the world was that Chen Youliang's family was buried in the "Dragon Vein Holy Land" - the cemetery of Tianzigang lost its efficacy. The ancestors of the Chen family in the underworld failed to "give strength" to Chen Youliang as the emperor. And the homestead of Zhu Yuanzhang's family surnamed Zhu, Zhujiawan (courtyard), happens to be located on the "heart of the dragon vein" of Tianzigang, the "holy land of dragon vein".

Zhujia (Bay) Courtyard under the slope of Tianzi Gang.

There is a village called Zhujiayuan under the north slope of Tianzigang, and the locals also call it Zhujiawan. Zhujiayuan was built by a northern merchant surnamed Zhu named Zhu Shundun in the early Yuan Dynasty. The surname Zhu in the world is a family. This Zhujiawan is the place where Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestors surnamed Zhu lived. The distance between Zhujiayuan and Chenjiayuan at the foot of Xianren Mountain is about 1,000 meters. The existing old courtyards show that the Zhujia Courtyard was a very luxurious and spectacular southern classic courtyard. If it were not for the damage caused by the "four old and broken" during the "special period" of the last century, if it had been preserved intact, it would be completely comparable to Fenghuang Town in Xiangxi, and it could be declared as a national "intangible heritage" and protected.

Zhujiayuan is a relatively large courtyard house. The whole compound faces south in the north. The main entrance to the south is the torii, and the door frames on the east and west sides are stone pillars. The base of the torii pillar is a round cyan rock, and the column is a rectangular cyan rock. Due to the destruction of the Red Guards during the "special period", the appearance of the entire Zhu family courtyard has been completely changed. Originally, the main gate archway is a stage of dozens of square meters, and the courtyard is a "patio", no matter the wind or rain, the whole courtyard can accommodate nearly 1,000 people to watch the drama performance. Nowadays, these gates, archways, theaters, stone pillars, etc., are all gone, just like their owners. The old house of Zhujiawan (courtyard) now only has a pair of stone pillar door frames, and there is a couplet on the door bar:

Meixi comes to live water and sees the sky

Mulberry valley Qing Changchun earthquake bell guanidine

The plum stream in the upper part of this couplet refers to the plum pond stream; Living water refers to the spring water flowing from the "bottom well"; "Heavenly machine" refers to the heavenly machine of Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land.

Zhujiawan originally had three gates, and the gate posts were all rectangular stone pillars. The rectangular columns have carved couplets on the front. There are sculptures on the couplets of stone pillars, or symmetrical unicorn patterns; or a symmetrical lion pattern; Or a symmetrical dragon and phoenix pattern. The whole courtyard is a bluestone base, with a blue brick wall, a blue brick floor, and a tile made of a brick kiln. Except for the kitchen and the "foot house" (the local people call the small bungalow with toilets and farm tools collectively called the foot house), the houses are all two-story houses. The floor slabs and floor reinforcements are made of locally produced cedar and soaked in locally produced tung oil. The roof is a "human" shaped solid wood tripod, and the front eaves protrude about two meters from the wall (called two-step water in the local dialect); The rear eaves protrude about a metre from the wall (known locally as a step of water). The main purpose is to prevent rain from damaging the wall and to facilitate walking in rainy days. The houses are connected by timber-framed corridors. The top of the corridor is covered with green tiles like the house, and the floor is also paved with green bricks. Both sides of the corridor are all solid wood guardrails, and there are various carved patterns of flowers, birds, fish and insects. All wood products are soaked in tung oil, and shabu is mixed with lacquer, red and black, antique. Now there is no way to verify why Zhu Yuanzhang's old, old, and old ancestor - Zhu Shundun chose this land to build a house and live in peace. Anyway, back then, the family surnamed Zhu built a house and a courtyard under the hillside on the north side of Tianzigang, multiplied and passed down from generation to generation. The changes in this, when studied carefully, are still related to the queen mother's love of power.

Historical facts have confirmed: Whether it is a mortal or a fairy, 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 the Queen Mother is jealous of Guanyin Bodhisattva that she has been appreciated by the Jade Emperor; is also because the Queen Mother despises Chang'e for being too selfish and becomes the goddess of "abandoning her husband and ascending to heaven"; There is also Wang Lingguan, the picket commander of the Heavenly Court, who is jealous of Chang'e and dedicates his affection to Marshal Tianpeng - Zhu Wuneng. They colluded and secretly interpreted this divine drama of the displacement of the dragon vein stack of Tianzigang.

[Distant view, stunt plus close-up] Just when the people surnamed Zhu were going all out to "catch fish" in the puddle, a cumulonimbus cloud suddenly surged in the sky of Xianren Mountain. Suddenly, lightning and thunder roared, and wind and rain intertwined. The entire Tianzigang area was shrouded in a torrential storm. Flash floods followed. Originally, the water of the Meitang Spring flowed through the stream, and soon formed a waterline of three colors: red, blue, and black. The torrential rain washed away the red soil on the side of Tianzigang into a red flood; Wash the black mud on the side of the Immortal Mountain into a black flood; The original "bottom well" flowed out of the dark blue water. The "tricolor" water soon connected the water from the ninth puddle with the stream through which the water of the original Meitang Spring flowed. The muddy water, which had a "red" tinge in the ninth puddle, soon mixed with the tricolored water. This torrent flowed like a galloping horse, as fast as lightning into the river leading to the Xiangjiang River.

This thunderstorm came and went, and a few minutes later, the Tianzigang area was sunny and empty. At that time, the people at the scene looked up and saw a rainbow hanging in the sky. One end of the rainbow originates from the spring of the "Bottom Well" at the foot of the Immortal Mountain, and the other end seems to fall on his own head, and also seems to fall on the village of Zhujia (Bay) Courtyard. Because the site is less than 300 meters away from Zhu's courtyard. As a result, descendants have legends that the "Son of Heaven" and "Xiao Immortal" are out of the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang. The people surnamed Chen "protected the fish into the river" and failed in vain. Zhujiayuan is located in the "heart of the dragon vein", Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor "rain to success", and the "water" became a "dragon".

In fact, the initiator of this heavy rainstorm was the Queen Mother of Heaven.

[Vision, stunt and close-up] The Queen Mother is a "heroic goddess" who is good at "competing" with the Jade Emperor. She surrendered to the Jade Emperor on the surface, but in her heart she competed with the Jade Emperor. She is a good player in power, and secretly competes with the Jade Emperor in many things. The main reason for the battle between the Queen Mother and the Dragon Vein Holy Land in Tianzigang is that she has a deep prejudice against Chang'e! The Queen Mother despised Chang'e from the bottom of her heart. She thinks Chang'e is a perfidious goddess. Regarding the matter of the dragon vein of Tianzigang in which Chang'e participated, no matter what, it must be backfired! How could the Buddha and Guanyin allow a perfidious god like Chang'e to take on such a heavy responsibility! The Queen Mother has a deep prejudice against Chang'e, because Chang'e lost her trust in the process of becoming a god from an immortal. Because before Fairy Chang'e became a god, she asked her husband Houyi to ask the Queen Mother for two elixirs. The Queen Mother told Hou Yi to give Chang'e one pill each, and both husband and wife could become immortals in the mortal world and not die. As a result, Chang'e alone ate all two elixirs of life, and she became a god and went to heaven. After leaving her husband, Yi became a bachelor in the mortal world. What made the Queen Mother even more angry was that Chang'e arrived in Heaven and became a "divine flower" that "attracts bees and butterflies", which aroused the love and pursuit of many male gods in Heaven. Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Bajie because of "her" beauty, through the drunken male invasion of the Guanghan Palace, the most reckless was later denounced by Wang Lingguan, was punished by the Jade Emperor 2000 hammers, and was demoted to the mortal world.

[Playback. Stunt] The Queen Mother was in the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, when she listened to Chang'e report to the Jade Emperor on the situation of the Tang monks and apprentices on the way to relax for half a day, she had the idea of working against the Jade Emperor.

It is said that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'e was instructed by the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva to go down to the Tianzigang area of Meitang to monitor the leisure situation of the Tang monks and apprentices. After saying goodbye to Wukong and Wu Neng, Chang'e first reported to the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva Xiangduan about the Tang monks and apprentices rectifying in the Tianzigang area of Meitang and preparing holy relics for the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land. Immediately afterwards, Chang'e came to Heaven and reported to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother in time.

After Chang'e saluted, she said in her sweet mezzo-soprano: Under His Majesty Qiqin, the goddess Chang'e recently received the will of the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva, and made a special trip to the mortal world to inspect the situation of Tang monks and apprentices going to Jiangnan for half a day to relax on the way to the west to learn scriptures. The reason is that the Buddha learned that Wukong protected the Tang monk Xitian and went through hardships and dangers on the way to learn the scriptures, and specially instructed Guanyin Bodhisattva to arrange for them to go to the Meitang area in the south of the Yangtze River for half a day of leisure.

The Jade Emperor said in surprise: The Buddha's blessed heart can be seen by the sun and the moon! Respectable! Congratulations!

The Queen Mother said: Tang Seng, Wukong, Wu Neng, and Wu Jing What good deeds did their masters and apprentices do during their leisure period?

Chang'e continued to say in her sweet mezzo-soprano: Guanyin Bodhisattva arranged for the Tang monks and apprentices to relax this time in the Tianzigang area of Meitang, Jiangnan. This place is the junction of two tectonic plates, the blue and red rocks of the earth. The water here is "living water", and the spring water in the crevices of the underground has a constant temperature throughout the four seasons and flows continuously. The mountain here is a "living mountain", and Tianzigang is the holy land of the dragon vein. The Bodhisattva deliberately arranged for the Tang monks and apprentices to prepare four holy relics for the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land during the leisure period: "Red Stone Golden Carp" - fish, "Porcelain Bottle Grass" - grass, "Jade Bottle Holy Water" - water, and "Scoop Gourd Ambergris" - wine. Tianzigang, the holy land of the dragon vein, the ancestors of the destined people in the future are destined to be buried here, which can bless his descendants to become the founding emperor and have a hereditary government for about 300 years、、、、、、

The Jade Emperor listened and said excitedly: Guanyin, whether in the mortal realm or in the divine realm, does things perfectly. Respectable! Admirable!

The Queen Mother said: Guanyin is kind-hearted and thoughtful! In the mortal world, the fairy world, the divine world, the yang world, and the netherworld, she is charity first, purifying all sentient beings, and people praise the immortals and worship the gods!

The Queen Mother said on her face at the time: Guanyin is kind-hearted and thoughtful! In the mortal world, the fairy world, the divine world, the yang world, and the netherworld, she is charity first, purifying all sentient beings, and people praise the immortals and worship the gods! But I thought to myself: I have to mess you up then!

The Queen Mother is thinking in her heart, and she will see it again in 50 years! If you come to the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva, you dare to deceive me that the heavenly court is incompetent, and you don't put the heavenly court in your eyes! You can take the Tang monks and apprentices from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River for half a day of leisure, and prepare "fish, grass, water, and wine" for the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land; You Jade Emperor and Taishang Laojun support, and my queen mother wants to "PK" (do it) with you this time.

[Vision, stunt and close-up] The Queen Mother has always kept this matter in her heart, and pre-emptively relied on Wang Lingguan, who started by doing bad things about yin damage and lack of morality, etc., to watch the dynamics of Tianzigang, and wait for a full 50 years.

When Chen Anxin, the son of Chen Guangbiao, a clansman surnamed Chen, asked Kuang Hongtao, the abbot master of Hengshan Temple, to "open the mound and protect the fish into the cave garden", the queen mother said to the goddess on duty: "The king of the spirit official".

"Niangniang has a will, and the picket commander will come in to see you!" The goddess of duty shouts the message!

"Lingguan knocks to see Niangniang!" Wang Lingguan knelt and bowed.

"Get up! Spiritual officer, go to the soundproof room to talk about something. The Queen Mother turned and sat up.

"Xie Niangniang!" Wang Lingguan got up.

After seeing Wang Lingguan get up, the Queen Mother turned around and entered the suite. Wang Lingguan immediately followed up.

After the Queen Mother and Wang Lingguan sat down in the soundproof room, the Queen Mother and Wang Lingguan conspired about the Dragon Vein Stack of Masters in Tianzigang.

"Spirit officer, what have you been busy with lately! It's hard to see you all day long. ”

"Back to Niangniang, the contemptible people are recently reflecting on the sin of plotting Mrs. Zhoufu to poison foreigners."

"What's Chang'e's doing?"

"Hui Niangniang, since 50 years ago in the heavenly court to listen to her report that she was sent by Guanyin Bodhisattva to Meitang on a business trip to monitor the situation of Chen Xuanzang's master and apprentice raising holy relics for the head of the 'Five Dragons Mountain' - Tianzigang during the leisure period in Meitang, especially after the incident of the Pan Tao Club held by Niangniang, the contempt has not seen Chang'e." Wang Lingguan said.

"Lingguan, you have a good memory, what Chang'e reported 50 years ago is starting to come true today. The person surnamed Chen is carrying out the ceremony of 'protecting fish into the river' in Tianzigang! ”

"The people surnamed Chen 'protect the fish into the river'! Mother, do I have anything to do with it? Wang Lingguan said.

"That's what this means in this palace. I want you to go to the scene and do it! ”

"I understand!" Wang Lingguan said.

"What do you understand?" The Queen Mother said.

"The contemptuous god thought: After Guanyin Bodhisattva discovered that Tianzigang, the head of the 'Five Dragons Mountain', was a sacred land of dragon veins, he secretly instructed Chang'e to let Chen Xuanzang's Chen clan get the immortal opportunity first. This immortal bodhisattva and goddess of heaven just didn't take Niangniang in his eyes at all. Wang Lingguan said.

"Lingguan, this is not only related to the prestige of the palace personally, but also related to the majesty of the heavenly court." The Queen Mother said very angrily.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva and Chang'e cheated for personal gain, fooled the heavenly court, and despised Niangniang, so they should be punished from 'ruthlessly'!" Wang Lingguan said.

"That's what Hongu wants! 50 years ago, they fooled the palace and deceived my heavenly court, and today the palace will fight back! ”

"The contemptuous god immediately set off and turned the 'fish into the river' upside down." Wang Lingguan said.

"Stupid! This palace is to appreciate your 'virtue' in the mortal realm. Don't show any noise about the mortal world's 'fish into the river' ceremony, and only do your hands and feet after the goldfish enter the river and return to Dongting Lake! The Queen Mother whispered.

"I understand." Wang Lingguan said.

"What do you understand! Also, 50 years ago, Chang'e took the opportunity to have an affair with Zhu Bajie and left an 'indecent video' of the fairy god to ordinary people. This time, you have to change the wild dog rock mountain, which was originally a red rock, to a two-color stone mountain with two colors, blue and red, and eradicate the grass for laying grass! Erase from the roots the old marks that have damaged the image of the heavenly court. Later, according to the will of the Queen Mother, Wang Lingguan came to Meitang with a small earthquake, which turned the Wild Dog Rock Mountain into a blue and red stone mountain - Xianren Mountain.

"I understand," said Wang Lingguan.

"What do you understand! This palace asks you, you go to Meitang to stack the lord of the dragon vein of Tianzigang, do you know who you stack the Dao to? The Queen Mother asked sideways.

"I don't understand," said Wang Lingguan.

"You don't even know what the purpose of doing things is, so you blindly promise to go down to earth, won't you miss a big thing!"

"Contempt to listen to the mother's instructions!" Wang Lingguan said.

"You're nothing, not even a barking dog. Back then, it was the B God who turned you from a mortal womb into a fairy bone. ”

"I don't understand either. Back then, I met the master who taught Sun Wukong kung fu. It was his old immortal family who taught me the kung fu of flying through the clouds." Wang Lingguan said.

"This nameless bull-nosed old man, he doesn't know how good he is, and he teaches what kind of "talent". ”

"Niangniang, it is still unclear that the land of the dragon vein of Tianzigang was originally the 'first opportunity' for the Chen family in advance. The Chen family has gone through three generations and buried their ancestors in the land of the dragon vein 50 years ago, why is it now the main one to be moved? Wang Lingguan said.

"If you figure out something, it won't be called a problem! Do you remember that Chang'e came to Heaven 50 years ago to report on the dragon vein of Tianzigang? The Queen Mother said.

"Remember! Back then, Chang'e and Bajie secretly returned to Heaven in the mortal realm, and the form of the spring breeze almost blew up my lungs at that time! Wang Lingguan replied.

"It is said that several generations of the Chen family have dedicated their lives to the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang. The descendants of the Chen family should be blessed by the Dragon Vein Holy Land - 'Guanqi'. However, this dragon vein blessed lord must be stacked. The Chen family had to make a fearless sacrifice in this matter. In the future, the descendants of the Chen family can only blame Guanyin. The Queen Mother said to Wang Lingguan: Back then, Guanyin Bodhisattva found that the five fingers of the Buddha had become the Five Elements Mountain, and after Wukong broke through and fell into Meitang called Wulong Mountain, he planned for the dragon vein holy land of Tianzigang. Guanyin Bodhisattva is a heroine among women in the fairy world, and she chose Chang'e as a special envoy, which was the biggest mistake in her life. Guanyin Bodhisattva was planning the Tianzigang Dragon Vein Holy Land, and he was favoritistic from the beginning. In order to thank Xiao (Xiao) Yu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, for his acquaintance, she deliberately chose Meitang Nunnery as a leisure place for Tang monks and apprentices. Because the host of Meitang Nunnery is surnamed Xiao (Xiao) and is named Hanqing. Chen Xuanzang leaked the "fairy machine" to Chen Chujie. When I listened to Chang'e's report 50 years ago, I thought of Guanyin Bodhisattva, who has always done things fairly, and this time I also showed a "horseshoe print" of favoritism.

"It's still a great mother. At that time, I was just angry with Chang'e, and I couldn't hear anything else! Wang Lingguan echoed.

"Lingguan, you say, who is the Tianzigang Dragon Vein 'Stack Master' stacked to?" The Queen Mother deliberately asked Wang Lingguan.

"Mother, I really don't know anything about this." Wang Lingguan said.

"Spiritual officer, to tell you the truth, I've been watching this for 50 years. In the past 50 years, the events in the mortal world, and now Chen Youliang, a descendant of the surname Chen, was 'born' as the largest beggar gang leader in the Central Plains. He had ambitions to become emperor. There is also a man who competes with him in the world, and he also has the eloquence to be a monarch! The Queen Mother paused for a while, and then said to Wang Lingguan: "This northern man, he made his debut by killing pigs and became a monk. He was a bold man and was good at fighting with soldiers. What is even more commendable is that he respects women's rights. He took a big-footed daughter-in-law, Ma, who was one year older than him and mediocre-looking. Now although he has military power, he has the rank of general. But he never "messed with flowers" outside, and always respected Ma as his 'senior sister' (military advisor). Big things and small things are willing to listen to the 'senior sister counselor'. I just want to put the lord of the dragon vein of Tianzigang on the throne to this kind of man who respects women's rights. The Queen Mother said for a long time, but she didn't say whether this person was Zhang San or Li Si, and made a dumb riddle for Wang Lingguan to guess.

Wang Lingguan, as the commander of the heavenly pickets, thinks about the affairs of the gods all day long. For all the things of the world, the one is not about oneself, and it hangs high. Before Wang Lingguan became an immortal, the fragment of his life in the mortal world became a "classic" that was spurned by people for thousands of years. After Wang Lingguan became a god, he never wanted to look back on the past in the mortal world. Therefore, Wang Lingguan couldn't guess the dumb riddle of the Queen Mother.

"Lingguan, don't think about it. I'll tell you! He is now a general of the Yuan Dynasty named Zhu Yuanzhang. You go to Tianzigang this time and tell the thirteenth prince of Yulong, the king of Ao Yan Dragon in the West Sea, and ask him to protect Zhu Yuanzhang to become the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"I understand."

"What do you understand! This palace asks you to pass on my message: Lei Gong, Dianmu and your three gods will go to Meitang Tianzigang together, and they will use a storm to send the 'Golden Scale Red Carp' into Dongting Lake. Let the thirteen princes of Yulong, the king of Ao Leap Dragon in the West Sea, bless the descendants of the people surnamed Zhu in Zhujiawan to be the founding emperor! You have to act at the right time, and don't let the mortal fairy world see any clues! ”
