Chapter VIII, Section III
Chapter 8 Chen Chujie welcomes the divine line and shows the divine light
In the third section, there were twists and turns, and the god line fell to the top of the post
Chen Chujie heard these "heavenly machines" for the first time, and he felt like falling between the clouds! When he heard this, he couldn't help but say to Xiao Tianfu: "Host, stop for a while, I'll find a paper and a rough note!" β
"Good!" Xiao Tianfu said.
Chen Chujie quickly went back to his bedroom and brought paper and pens.
Xiao Tianfu continued: "The key to the next step is to find the location of the dragon vein mound in Tianzigang!" Before midnight on the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, after cleansing and burning incense, you went to the top of Tianzigang Mountain alone to observe. At that time, the red, blue, and yellow "three pillars" of colored light fell from the sky. The location of the "three pillars" color light is the exact location of the tomb! β
After Xiao Tianfu said this, he suddenly felt a fever all over his body, and after a dry mouth, his eyes turned black, and he couldn't see anything. It is said that this is the retribution he deserves for leaking the heavenly secret! His ancestors have passed it down from generation to generation! Xiao Tianfu knew this, but when it was time to leak the heavenly secret, he couldn't help but say it.
Chen Chujie saw that Xiao Tianfu suddenly lost his sight in his eyes after telling the heavenly machine of the dragon vein of Tianzigang, so he reported the process and content of the discovery of the "Book of Heaven" 7 years ago to Xiao Tianfu.
Xiao Tianfu heard Chen Chujie tell the story of discovering the "Book of Heaven" and said, "Chu Jie, this is a good thing for the Immortal Blessing Divine Protection!" You are the fate of Tang Seng in the "Book of Heaven"! You must follow the will of the gods and immortals to do this god-like Buddha thing! β
"Good!" Chen Chujie said to Xiao Tianfu, "Host, you have leaked the secret of heaven, you are blind in both eyes, and it will be inconvenient for you to live in the future." From today onwards, I will be your son, taking care of your daily life around the clock! β
From that day on, Xiao Tianfu handed over all the affairs of the nunnery to his eldest son Xiao Dixuan, and he lived in Chen's courtyard, and guided Chen Chujie to deal with the dragon vein of Tianzigang wholeheartedly.
Xiao Tianfu lived in Chenjiayuan, and after guiding Chen Chujie to bury the husband-wife graves of Chen Daocai and Zhao Meilin in Tianzigang, he lived in Chenjiayuan for nearly 20 years, and only left the immortal body at the age of 108! This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
Chen Daocai and Zhao Meiling have two daughters and a boy. The eldest daughter, Chen Hui, married Zou Changgang of Xianren Mountain; The second daughter, Chen Liang, married Zou Changduan of Liumutang. The 46-year-old son Chen Chujie and the 43-year-old daughter-in-law Gao Manhua have four boys and two girls. Chen Chujie's eldest son was named Chen Guangbiao, the second son was named Chen Guanghua, the third daughter was named Chen Guiying, the fourth son was named Chen Guangming, the fifth son was named Chen Guanghui, and the sixth daughter was named Chen Yuying.
Back then, Xiao Tianfu said to Chen Chujie: "The key to the next step is to find the location of the dragon vein mound in Tianzigang!" In the middle of the night on the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, you prepare the chicken, fish, and pork as offerings, and wait alone at the top of Tianzigang Mountain. At that time, the red, blue, and yellow "three pillars" of colored light fell from the sky. The location of the "three pillars" color light is the exact location of the tomb! β
[Long shot, close view, close-up, stunt] Chen Chujie listened to Xiao Tianfu's way of determining the position of the mound, and it took 3 years to finally find the exact location.
The 15th day of the seventh lunar month in 1011 AD. Chen Chujie folded halfway.
Chen Chujie is in his 40s and has inherited the Chen family's tradition of martial arts, and a set of "Shenyi Boxing" is amazing. What's even more mysterious is that he made a homemade "dog beating bamboo". This "dog bamboo" is about 1 or 5 meters long and is a Hunan bamboo with a straight diameter of about 4 centimeters. This Hunan bamboo is a five-year-old mature bamboo. Chen Chujie used the middle and lower part of the bamboo to take two bamboo knots 1 or 5 meters long as the head. In order to make the bamboo poles strong, he soaked them in tung oil for 7 days, took them out and put them in the shade of the sun and let the wind dry them for 7 days. It took 7749 days in this cycle, and after the most lush, this "dog bamboo" was shiny and shiny, very strong, and the wheel was whirring!
On the 15th day of the seventh lunar month in 1011 AD. In accordance with the requirements described by Xiao Tianfu, the presiding officer of the nunnery, Chen Chujie bathed and cleaned himself an hour before the time of the day, prepared the "three animal offerings" of chicken, fish and pork, and entered Tianzigang alone.
It is about 1500 meters from Chenjiayuan to Tianzigang. Chen Chujie to Tianzigang, in the middle of the Zhujiawan (courtyard). Chenjiayuan is about 1000 meters away from Zhujiawan (courtyard).
Zhujiayuan is located about 300 meters north of Tianzigang.
Zhujiawan is actually a large compound inhabited by dozens of people surnamed Zhu. Locals also refer to Zhujiawan as Zhujiayuan. Zhujiayuan is 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. The base of the torii pillar is a round cyan rock, and the column is a rectangular cyan rock. On the columns on both sides there are couplets carved by Xiao Wenqiu in the stele font:
The dragon leaps into the holy water of the Dongting Immortal Blessing God and protects the Tianzi Gang
The purple gas of the phoenix rolls returns to Xiaoxiang, Jun, diligence and frugality, and Zhujiawan
There is a side door on both sides of the main entrance of Zhujiawan (courtyard), and the two frames of the side door are cyan striped stones. There are couplets carved by Xiao Wenqiu in regular script font on the stones. Couplets on the two framed stone pillars at the west gate of Zhujiawan (courtyard):
Folk dwellings and blessed houses
Feng stepped on the auspicious branch emperor and was talented
The couplets on the two framed stone pillars at the east gate of the existing old house of Zhujiawan (courtyard):
Meixi comes to live water and sees the sky
Sanggu Qing Changchun Zhen Zhong Di Guan (see "About the work" for the original photo)
The "Heavenly Machine" in this couplet refers to the Heavenly Machine of the Dragon Vein Holy Land of Tianzigang.
Due to the damage caused by the Red Guards during the "special period and special period", the original bricks and tiles of Zhujiawan were all destroyed. The surname Zhu has long since left Zhujiawan, and now Zhujiawan is living in the surname Zou, Xiao surname, the new residents of Zhujiawan, after the "special period" of Xian Li, the old house has already been renovated. Today's Zhujiawan only retains these two bluestone door frame columns. In the past, the blue bricks and tiles next to the columns were all replaced by modern red bricks and tiles. It is difficult for Zhujiawan to find the glory of the past.
The whole courtyard of Zhujiayuan faces south in the north. The main entrance to the south is the torii. The base of the torii pillar is a round cyan rock, and the column is a rectangular cyan rock. There are sculptures on both sides of the rectangular column, or a symmetrical unicorn pattern; 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 ancestors chose this land to build a house and live in peace. Anyway, 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.
Zhujiawan is about 300 meters away from Tianzigang. In order to prevent mosquito bites, Chen Chujie wore a set of black tight-fitting clothes and carried a bamboo basket with the end of the "dog bamboo", which contained "three livestock" offerings and a small jar of fresh rooster blood!
Xiao Tianfu said to Chen Chujie during the day: "Chu Jie, when you go to pick up the divine line tonight, don't forget to bring fresh rooster blood." According to the will left by the ancestors, fresh rooster blood is used to fix the dragon veins from drifting. When you see the three-color pillar of light falling to the ground, you should quickly sprinkle the chicken blood to the spot where the pillar of light falls. β
When Chen Chujie walked to Zhujiawan, two black-haired dogs suddenly rushed out of Zhujiawan and rushed straight to Chen Chujie without barking. Chen Chujie was so frightened that he hurriedly put down the bamboo basket, and fought hard towards the vicious dog that pounced in front of him with both hands of the "dog beating bamboo". The moment the first black dog was hit, the second black dog pounced on the bamboo basket and quickly overturned the chicken blood jar in the bamboo basket with its mouth, and all the chicken blood was spilled on the ground.
After Chen Chujie killed the first black dog with "beating the dog bamboo", when he looked for the second black dog, the second black dog had already disappeared after spilling the chicken blood in the can.
"These two god-killing animals have sprinkled the chicken blood I prepared, and when I arrived at Tianzigang, I saw how the divine light was fixed!" When Chen Chujie saw the chicken blood sprinkled all over the ground, his heart swelled with an inexorable distress.
Chen Chujie thought to himself: Without chicken blood, when I arrived at Tianzigang, it was useless to see the pillar of light!
Chen Chujie returned to Chen's courtyard and reported the situation to Xiao Tianfu.
"Host Xiao" Chen Chujie said: "Tonight I went to Tianzigang to pick up the divine light, and when I passed by Zhujiawan, I encountered two heavenly killing vicious dogs attacking and spilling my prepared chicken blood. I think, without chicken blood, when I arrived at Tianzigang, I couldn't fix the divine light, so I had to come back in advance and report to the host. β
"Chu Jie, since this is the case, I'm afraid this is all providence. Providence cannot be violated, so I have to wait until next year! Xiao Tianfu said.
Chen Chujie and Xiao Tianfu both thought that the time had not yet come, and they couldn't force it, so they had to wait for next year.
The 15th day of the seventh lunar month in 1012 AD. Chen Chujie prepared the "Three Sacrifices", dressed tightly, and set off 1 hour in advance. In order to prevent a repeat of last year's tragedy, Chen Chujie took a detour to avoid Zhujiawan this year and successfully reached the peak of Tianzigang before the time of the child.
Chen Chujie chose a slightly flat place and placed the "three animal offerings". According to the guidance of Xiao Tianfu, you must be quiet when welcoming the light from the sky. Therefore, Chen Chujie should not light incense sticks, paper money and other offerings! Chen Chujie bent down and put the porcelain jar filled with chicken blood next to the offering, turned around and sat on the ground 2 meters away from the south side of the offering table, waiting for the light from the sky!
Chen Chujie waited for half an hour, and suddenly heard a rustling sound from far and near. By the moonlight, Chen Chujie saw a white dew snake more than one meter long, slowly approaching the west side of the offering table. The skin of the white dew snake is composed of black and white colors, both of which are one-inch-wide rings. When the white dew snake crawled, the black and white rings squirmed undulatingly, and the sickle-shaped moonlight of the first seven or eight days made Chen Chujie see it clearly. Chen Chujie held the "dog bamboo" in his hand, but he was worried about whether he could kill this uninvited guest.
Chen Chujie used "beating dog bamboo" to kill Bailu Snake as easily as a hand. But since Chen Chujie got the secret of the "Book of Heaven", he has devoted himself to the Buddha and believes in not killing lightly. At the same time, he believed that this was a providential arrangement. Therefore, Chen Chujie just quietly observed. The white dew snake pounced on the porcelain jar filled with chicken blood, and instantly sucked up the chicken blood with its mouth.
Chen Chujie thought to himself, without chicken blood, this year is in vain. He really wanted to beat the white dew snake to death with a stick. But he was worried that this was the will of heaven and could not be violated! I had to wait and see what happened to the white dew snake in the future, and only went home when it was over. After drinking the blood of the chicken, the white dew snake quickly crawled to the offering table and devoured the head of the three animals on the offering table, the chicken. The snake eats and swallows. The chicken that Chen Chujie used as a gift was a whole chicken. The rooster that was raised back then weighed about three pounds. Chen Chujie thought to himself, this one-meter-long snake could not swallow a whole chicken with its mouth open. The later facts made Chen Chujie dumbfounded.
The white dew snake opened its mouth to bite the head of the chicken, twisted its waist and shook its head, the white chicken left the porcelain plate, and the head and neck of the chicken slipped into the snake's mouth. Then, with its head held high, the snake continued to open its upper and lower foreheads, causing the front of the chicken's chest to slide into the snake's throat. The white dew snake then swung its head and twisted its waist to open its mouth, and the back half of the chicken quickly slid into the snake's mouth. After swallowing the whole chicken, the white dew snake quickly rolled in place, and the chicken in its belly slowly moved from the head to the abdominal cavity. The white dew snake's belly bulged out before it stopped rolling after a large round bag.
After Chen Chujie watched the white dew snake swallow the offering chicken, he was thinking deeply about whether the offering without the chicken could affect the process of welcoming the divine light from the sky, and an even more amazing scene appeared in front of his eyes.
By the moonlight, Chen Chujie found that the white dew snake raised its head, made a booing sound in its mouth, and put on a posture to meet the battle. Chen Chujie took a closer look, and saw that there was a golden snake that was bigger and longer than the Bailu snake lying on the table. The golden-striped snake is red all over, very similar to the color of the local red rocks. If it weren't for the snake crawling on its own, it would be difficult for people to spot it. Chen Chujie saw that the golden snake opened its mouth and devoured the fish on the table, and then swallowed a piece of cooked pork belly weighing about 1 or 5 catties. After swallowing these two offerings, the golden-striped serpent did not bulge at all. Then, the Golden Striped Serpent launched an attack on the White Dew Serpent. Chen Chujie witnessed the whole process of snakes killing each other.
The golden-striped snake raised its head, opened its mouth and attacked the white dew snake. At first, the white dew snake tried to escape, but it crawled slowly because of the whole chicken in its belly. The Golden Striped Snake quickly intercepted, and the White Dew Snake was always intercepted at the offering table. After a contest between the two snakes, the last one was the white dew snake that was bitten on the head by the golden-striped snake, and writhed and rolled around the offering table for half an hour. The White Dew Snake completely lost its ability to resist, and the Golden Striped Snake opened its mouth to bite the head of the White Dew Snake, and then began to swallow it slowly. About half an hour later, the golden snake swallowed the entire white dew snake into its abdomen.
After Chen Chujie saw the golden snake killing the white dew snake, the time had passed. According to the "secret" presided over by Xiao Tianfu, this year he missed the opportunity to welcome the divine light from the sky. Chen Chujie immediately carried the empty jar containing chicken blood, passed through Zhujiawan, and quickly returned to Chen's courtyard. Chen Chujie reported to Xiao Tianfu what he saw and heard that night.
Xiao Tianfu said: "The will of heaven cannot be violated. Continue next year. β
Daytime on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month in 1013 AD. Chen Chujie and Xiao Tianfu recalled and summarized the reasons for the defeat in the previous two years.
Xiao Tianfu presided over and said: "Chu Jie, the first two years went wrong because of chicken blood! This year, you will take a live rooster and slaughter it on the spot to bleed! β
"Host, I think so too. At the beginning of this spring, I raised three roosters. β
Chen Chujie bathed and changed clothes during the day, burned incense and worshiped the Bodhisattva. After dark, Chen Chujie used a bamboo basket to carry the chickens, fish, and pork that were prepared during the day, and held a big rooster with red feathers in his arms.
Chen Chujie still chose which piece of slightly flat land he used last year, and placed the chicken, fish, and pork "three livestock offerings".
Chen Chujie put the big rooster with his feet and wings tied with red rope next to the offering, and casually put a kitchen knife on the ground.
Chen Chujie sat on a red stone two meters away from the offering.
Chen Chujie looked up at the sky, and the Big Dipper and Vega were faintly recognizable. The clear sky and the autumn breeze give people a refreshing feeling. Chen Chujie quietly waited for the "Secret of Heavenly Book" to be revealed, and his heart couldn't help but swell with a trace of chivalry. His imagination is like a horse without its reins, galloping across the open and boundless grassland: ever since I received the "Secret of the Book of Heaven" six years ago, I have devoted all my efforts to collecting the dragon vein relics in secret. The ups and downs of the past few years are all for future generations. If it is really as Xiao Tianfu said, the dragon vein of Tianzigang can bless future generations to become the founding emperor and inherit the throne for three hundred years, then it will be the blessing of my Chen family! I will be the first hero of the Chen family. My name will live forever. As long as the auspicious light can be greeted tonight and the exact location of the tomb can be determined, the contents of the secret of the Book of Heaven will be ready. The work in the future is to bury the ancestors. Chen Chujie had another doubt in his heart, once this grave is determined, will he wait to bury his biological parents in their 70s in the future, or move his deceased grandparents? This matter will have to be discussed with Xiao Tianfu tomorrow.
Chen Chujie's thinking consciousness is wandering, and before he knows it, he has reached the back end of the child. In Chen Chujie's consciousness, he felt that the sky was changing, a thin cloud covered the silver-white moon, and Tianzigang appeared in a dim black curtain. In Chen Chujie's consciousness, he really saw the colored light of the red, blue, and yellow "three pillars", which slowly fell from the sky and fell around the "three animal offerings", which was shaped like a circle in the shape of three points. In Chen Chujie's consciousness, he suddenly seemed to have received an order: quickly stand up, run quickly to the rooster, pick up the kitchen knife on the ground with his right hand, press the rooster with red rope and wings on the ground with his left hand, step on the head of the chicken with his right foot, and the knife falls with his hand, and the head of the chicken is separated from the neck. Chen Chujie threw away the kitchen knife, held the body of the headless rooster with both hands, moved his body, and dripped the red blood sprayed from the rooster's neck onto the landing site of the three-pillar colored light. In Chen Chujie's consciousness, he used the jumping pace of the plum blossom pile to quickly drift his body, and repeatedly dripped the blood of the rooster on the landing site of the three pillars of colored light X times. In Chen Chujie's consciousness, he suddenly felt that the three-color auspicious light pillar was gone, the blood of the rooster was gone, the clouds that covered the moon were gone, and Tianzigang regained the silver clarity of a quarter of an hour ago. Chen Chujie's state of mind at this time truly experienced the taste of relaxation and happiness is incomparable. He saw the three pieces of chicken blood sprinkled on the red rock, and his belief in the "Book of Heaven" in his consciousness increased exponentially. Chen Chujie was undoubtedly convinced of the miracle of the "Book of Heaven" at this time, and he obviously felt that he had succeeded! He knelt in front of the three animal offerings and bowed deeply to the sky three times. Bow down, thank you to the Buddha! Second bow, thank you Guanyin Bodhisattva! Three bows, thank you to all the gods who help you!
Chen Chujie is done!
Chen Chujie immediately rushed back to Chen's courtyard, hugged Xiao Tianfu and cried happily.
"Host, I made it! The Book of Heaven has appeared! Chen Chujie said to Xiao Tianfu.
"Your Chen family is blessed by the gods, and future generations will become great weapons." Xiao Tianfu said to Chen Chujie.
After the location of the dragon vein in Tianzigang was determined, when Chen Chujie and Xiao Tianfu were thinking about how to set up a tomb, Chen Chujie's elderly parents magically passed away at the same time on the same day, the same month.
Chen Chujie's parents, Chen Daocai and Zhao Meiling, died only half an hour before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month in 1313 AD. Chen Daocai was 78 years old; Zhao Meiling died at the age of 75.
