Chapter 681: The Treasure of the Green Dragon
If you want to find trouble with Zhao Muyun, of course, you have to go into the mountain. Bai Yiyi is going to go: "You go to suppress the bandits, and I will take a look at the scenery of Mount Emei in this game." β
The scenery of Mount Emei is beautiful, and it has the reputation of "Emei World Show". There are also ten excellent viewing spots in the mountain, which are called 'Ten Views of Emei'. The first place is the Shengji Evening Bell - the Lotus Bell of Shengji Temple.
Different from the beautiful scenery elsewhere in Mount Emei, the Shengji Evening Bell is the only man-made landscape among the top ten landscapes, and it is also a monument with a history of hundreds of years.
Shengji Temple, the ancient name of Cifuyuan, is located in the south of Emei City, five miles away, is the first big temple in the mountain, the environment is ancient; Outside the temple ancient yellow cypress tree two, around can be a few people hug, from the Baoguo Temple to this far away, two yellow cypress like a big elephant; There are many cultural relics in the temple, the most famous are the bronze statue of Fuxian riding elephant, the bronze bell of gossip, the copper tower, etc.; Also known as the Shengji bronze bell, cast in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, raised by the Zen master of Beichuan, the weight of the bell bronze is 25,000 catties.
This "Shengji Evening Bell" bell has twelve leaves, the shape is like a lotus petal, and each petal is respectively engraved with the twelve earthly branches of "Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu Wei Shen Youxuhai", symbolizing the cycle of time and space, so it is also called "Lotus Bell", "Bagua Bell".
According to the inscription of the bell body, the bell was cast for the 43rd year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. In the following year, it was transported to the Hongxi Bridge of Mount Emei to polish and chisel the words, and the first year of Ming Longqing was hung in the old treasure building of Shengji Temple, known as the reputation of "Bashu Bell King".
Qing Dynasty poet Tan Zhongyue had worked tirelessly, admired to come to Mount Emei, the mountains and rivers, mileage, temples, directions, cottages, forest springs, rare and wonderful scenery are carefully examined, consult the classics, extensive historical materials, the wind and rain, the danger and the secluded, the accumulation of three years of exhaustion, 64 drawings, 46 poems, and the first to put forward the incisive view of Mount Emei "the best scenery has ten" - "Shengji Evening Bell" is one of the ten views of Emei, Tan Zhongyue also specially wrote poems for it: where is the sound of the evening bell? The ancient temple still spreads the name of the saint. Even if it is said that the character of the immortals is very good, it should also be like a child's pure heart.
Wang Ri of the Qing Dynasty once praised the Shengji Evening Bell in the poem "The Giant Bell": "In what year did the gold melt from? The long dragon chanted and scattered the smoke. Stay in the town mountain gate to open the road, the sound is high and clear. β
The bronze bells, which sound like a dragon and are pure in their ears, are quite particular about the time and way of striking; According to the "Mount Emei" published in the 24th year of the Republic of China and compiled by Zhao Xunbo: "Its bell strikes every night on the second day of the summer calendar. There are 'slow eighteen, fast eighteen', with the stroke with the recitation of the bell, every four words and a sentence, every four sentences a hit, where more than 100 hits start and stop (one said to be one hundred and eight hits), each blow, the sound can go through one minute and fifty seconds. When you hear it closely, the sound is loud; Hear it from afar, and the sound is clear. β
In the 25th year of the Republic of China, Liu Shangxi's "Emei Tour Guide Details" also said: "The first night of the first month of the New Year's Hope is struck, and only 24 times a year is knocked. The so-called evening bell is because the monk goes upstairs after nine o'clock with a lamp, and recites the scriptures orally, and the cloud bell sentences. At the beginning of a sentence, then knock the bell once, four words per sentence, after reading the end of the knock, the beginning of the slow knock, after entering each word a knock, the faster the thought, the more urgent the knock. Slow eighteen, urgent eighteen, knock to three times, said three knocks, each knock must recite the full text, three knocks on the bell, a total of one hundred and eight beats. The bell is unusually grandiose. β
In addition, the evening bell strikes one hundred and eight times each time, which is also related to the ancient phenological calendar of our country. The phenological calendar takes five days as one season, three days as one gas, and a year is divided into 24 solar terms, a total of 72 seasons. Each phenological phenomenon corresponds to it, which is called "waiting". If the twelve months of the year, the twenty-four solar terms, and the seventy-two climates are added together, the sum is exactly one hundred and eight.
The temple once collapsed, and the bronze bell was placed on the side of the road; The Emei Mountain * Gate moved the bronze bell to the Phoenix Fort opposite the Baoguo Temple, and built a pavilion to cover the maintenance; The do-gooder slightly modified the previous poem to show its victory: Parson on Phoenix Fort, and the evening bell is still a dragon's chant. Even when it comes to the beliefs of monks and laymen, the same is clear in the ears and hearts.
It is said that in the past, there was an old monk named Huibao in Shengji Temple. He turned into four directions and built the Shengji Temple, but there was still a big bell missing. The temple has no big bell, which is too disproportionate. So he made a vow to cast a big bell. A few months after he went out to make a fortune, he came back with a large bell on his back. When the monks saw that the old master was carrying the bell with bamboo strips, they were all surprised and asked, "I cast this 25,000-pound bell in the outer edge, and I am worried that I will not be able to come back." Here, an old man came and gave me this bamboo strip and said to me, 'You can use it to carry the clock, and you can carry it back alone.' I did as he said, and I carried it back. So the monks began to discuss how to place the bell. Some said: "Put it in the main hall, I'm afraid it won't occupy half of the main hall?" Some said: "Such a heavy bell is simply hung on the yellow cypress tree outside the temple." The old monk said, "How can there be a reason to hang the bell outside the temple?" Let's build a bell tower! He gathered all the monks in the temple and rushed to repair the bell tower overnight in front of the temple gate. It was repaired during the day and at night, and it was done for 7749 days, and the bell tower was repaired. The old monk still hung the bell with the strip of skin, and then said to the disciples, "I still have to go out to travel, and you will ring the bell after I have been gone for three days." "The monks didn't know what the old monk meant, and they wanted to ask for clarification. But the old monk was in a hurry, and only said, "Do as I say!" So he went out and wandered. The monks have long wanted to hear the sound of this bell. So not long after the old monk left, a monk picked up the bell mallet and wanted to knock it lightly, listen to the sound first, as long as the old monk couldn't hear it. He raised the bell mallet, just knocked down the hammer, only to hear the sound of "bang", the loud and thick bell, ringing in the air, like spring thunder rolling, spread farther and farther, for a long time, until it reached the ears of the old monk. At this time, the old monk had just walked thirty miles, and when he heard the bell, he knew that the monks had not rang the bell in advance as he had ordered. Therefore, in the future, the bell can only be heard thirty miles away.
Later, when people came to Mount Emei, they all had to go to Shengji Temple to see the big bell with a piece of bamboo hanging ten thousand catties. Everyone felt very strange when they saw that a piece of bamboo could hang such a heavy bell. Therefore, it spread ten, ten, and hundred, and soon reached the ears of the local county officials. The county official of Emei is surnamed Qian Mingfan, because he loves money like life, so the people gave him the nickname "Qian Rulife". This money has always been insatiable, looting the people's ointment. Within a few years of arriving in Emei County, tens of thousands of taels of silver were looted. This guy is good at welcoming and patting horses, whenever his boss comes to the county to inspect, he gives gifts, throws banquets, and follows his boss's ass all day long. Therefore, although the common people complained, because of the protection of officials and officials, they were also covered up.
Qian Ruming heard that the Shengji Temple has a large bell weighing tens of thousands of catties that is hung with a piece of bamboo, he didn't believe it, so he went to see it in person, and it was true. He thought, how can a piece of bamboo strip be so thin and thin that it can lift the weight of 10,000 catties? This piece of bamboo must be a treasure. Now the emperor is looking for treasures everywhere, if I can send this treasure to the palace, the emperor will be very happy, this time I will make a fortune without being promoted.
The next day, Qian Ru took the soldiers to the bell tower of Siji Temple, and ordered someone to exchange the iron chain prepared in advance for the leather strip. The monks in the temple called out that the county lord brought people to fetch the bamboo strips of the hanging bell, and they all came to ask. "Your Excellency! This piece of bamboo strip was brought back by our old monk with a bell, and I can't take it! If you take the Bodhisattva, you will condemn your sin! The money glared at him: "What can't you take?" This official is the lord of a county, why can't he take a single strip? I took this bamboo strip and offered it to the emperor, the emperor should be today's son, and the Bodhisattva will also give him three points. Then he asked someone to replace the bamboo strips. Because the bamboo strip had been hanging for a long time, it was covered with dust, and it was black and dirty. Qian Rufeng thought about it, the treasures that were paid tribute to the emperor and sent them like this would make Banzai angry. So he took the bamboo strips to a nearby pond to wash. In this pond, the water is clean and clear. Qian Ru ordered to put the bamboo strips in the water and wash them around. With the swing of the bamboo strips, the pond water suddenly set off a few zhang high waves, the bamboo strips swam around in the water, the longer and longer they swam, and suddenly turned into a green dragon, rushing out of the water, shaking their heads and tails and flying straight to the sky. The county magistrate was stunned, his two feet kissed like a sifting chaff, and he kept shouting: "Help!" Help! "Those soldiers only care about their own lives, who cares about saving the county master? Suddenly, a big wave set off in the pond and swept the county official into the water and drowned. Later, people called this pond "Huabaotang", and put the building of the wall clock. It's called "Old Treasure Building".
Huabaotang is the first scenic spot that Su Cheng and the three of them encountered when they entered Mount Emei. Different from the introduction on the Emei Mountain travel guide, this clear pond water is surrounded by a cyan stone ridge that looks like a dragon and is not a dragon. The angel in white said: "Oh, this is probably the green dragon that carried the 10,000-pound bronze bell back then." The dragon flew away, leaving a stone as a memento. β
There are villagers living in the vicinity of Huabaotang. An NPC woman was washing clothes downstream of the pond water, and when she saw someone lingering by the pond, the woman smiled and said, "Guawa'er! If the green dragon flies away, will he drown the money in this Ha'er? This stone ridge is the green dragon! β
Twilight Boss sat on the 'green dragon' with his ass: "It's quite comfortable." Eldest sister, you said that this is Qinglong, do you mean that I am sitting on Qinglong, and he Qinglong is not angry? β
The woman said, "Qinglong won't be as knowledgeable as you." Think about it, the one who can use the green dragon as a bamboo ribbon is either a bodhisattva or a Buddha. was arranged by such a god to hang and take care of the big clock, which one dared to leave his post casually? β
"Hey, eldest sister, what you said makes sense. Do you have any proof? β
The woman covered her mouth and smiled: "If you want to prove it, you have to look at your baby's ability - do you see the faucet?" β
At one end of the stone dragon, there is a bluestone two feet high, less than three feet wide, and nearly four feet long, which is a single stone. The woman struck the big stone with the pounding stick in her hand: "This is the dragon's head!" If you want the green dragon to manifest, you must have the ability to make the green dragon raise its head! Do you have what it takes? Hehehe......"
The NPC walks away with a basin of washed clothes. Twilight, Kong, and the angel in white look at each other, "Who has the ability to move such a boulder?" The dragon looks up, isn't that? β
The three of them walked out dozens of steps, and then turned back under the leadership of Twilight's boss.
Uncle, whether it's true or not, there is news of Qinglong, how can you make people feel at ease if you don't try? Isn't it just the dragon raising its head? Move! I'm Twilight. Orange is the most powerful player in Sacred Path, and there is no one!
There was more than one woman washing clothes in Huabaotang. One walked, and two more. Seeing the adventurers go and return, they all laughed: "The melons are dripping." That stone can only be moved on the day when the second dragon raises its head in February! At that time, there will be springs that will rise up and flood most of the stones. Can you move the starter now? β
Angel in white: "Eldest sister, is it good to move the dragon head on February 2nd?" β
"There are small stones underneath the big stones, and they are said to be treasures."
The King Kong cat had already bent down in front of the stone, clasped the lower edge of the stone with both hands, and muffled in his mouth: "Get up ......"
The stone does not move.
Old Twilight Boulevard: "I'll try it!" β
He can't, either.
The washerwoman was still grinning: "Only the legend says that Lu Dongbin took out a small piece from under the stone and turned around. You melon baby, think you are more powerful than the gods? β
Twilight. Orange is really more powerful than the gods! I saw that the image of the Suzaku at the center of his eyebrows began to glow with white-gold lightβa boulder of more than a thousand catties began to rise slowly.
A majestic voice sounded in his ears: "Huh, Suzaku's breath? There has been no news for thousands of years, and the old man is not dead! β
