Chapter 149 There are strange trees in Beiqiao, and the strange fragrance can return to the soul
There is a real palace on Beiqiao Mountain, which was built in the year of the Great Weekend.
Emperor Yang said well, and one day in a dream, he saw a golden man with a purple gas on his head flying around the temple, suddenly rising to the sky, and heading north.
Emperor Yang cared about this dream very much, pondered for most of the night, and the next day he summoned all the ministers to interpret the dream, and the minister Zhou Fu asked Emperor Yang, where did the gods fly? Emperor Yang recalled the next road, flew to a mountain and disappeared.
Zhou Fu asked again, what does the mountain look like?
Emperor Yang's Road, the Qiong tree is full of flowers, the fairy flowers are striking, the terrain is high, the shape resembles the head of the phoenix, and the open mountains and mountains behind are like the tail of the phoenix.
Zhou Fu Dao, in the north of the land of Shenwei, there is a big mountain shaped like the image of a divine bird, because of the name of the sacred bird mountain, the legend has an immortal feathered here, take the phoenix to go. His Majesty's dream is the Divine Bird Mountain, the sky is auspicious, the Great Zhou is blessed by the gods, and the country will be long.
At this time, Emperor Yang was anxious about the riots in various places, and he was overjoyed when he heard the words, and summoned Li Chengzhen, the eighth grandmaster of the Taoist Qingjing Sect, to enter Beijing, and ordered him to go north to Shenniao Mountain to build a Taoist temple to bless the Great Zhou.
Li Chengjiao was ordered to go to Shenniao Mountain, to the south foot of the highest peak, and looked around, the terrain of Danfeng Chaoyang was indeed a blessed land, so he built the Ganzhen Palace here.
After the completion of the Ganzhen Palace, Emperor Yang changed the Shenniao Mountain to Beiqiao Mountain, personally drove to the Taoist Temple, personally wrote the word Chenyou on the mountain stone, and made his sister Princess Qingping enter the mountain to learn the Tao, for a time the government and the opposition were shaken, and the road was prosperous.
However, it backfired, the Ganzhen Palace did not bless the stormy Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Yang ruled for four years, the contradictions between the government and the people were irreconcilable, and the biggest turmoil broke out since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Yang died in the chaotic battle, and Emperor Mourning hurriedly succeeded to the throne.
After the division between the north and the south, most of the halls of the Ganzhen Palace were destroyed in the war, but only the Three Realms Hall was spared. During the Northern Yan period, part of the temple was repaired.
Ganzhen Palace sits in the north and faces south, builds according to the mountain, rises step by step, and the height of the palace is scattered. The palace is a three-entry courtyard, the layout is rigorous, the Daluo Three Mirror Hall is in front, the Jade Emperor Pavilion is behind, and the corridor and the Taoist courtyard are lined up.
There are two cypress trees side by side on the stone steps of the platform of the Three Mirrors Palace, one of the top branches is dry, and the shape is peculiar, like a phoenix that leads to singing, because of the name phoenix cypress. The other tree has a strange shape, light green and verdant, the fragrance is upright, the texture is simple and vigorous, the dead branches of the treetops are shaped like a dragon going out to sea, because of the name dragon cypress.
The Three Realms refer to the place where the three Taoist gods Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Daode Tianzun live, namely Yuqing Realm, Shangqing Realm, and Taiqing Realm, and Da Luo refers to Da Luo Jin Xian, which is the highest state of Taoist cultivation after experiencing ghost immortals, human immortals, earth immortals, and heavenly immortals. The large owl kiss and the spine beast on the spine of the three mirror hall all adopt three-color glazed pieces, the corridor pillar is embossed with cloud dragon and phoenix, flowers, birds, birds and beasts, fairy characters and other patterns, the carving is exquisite, the content is rich, the image is realistic.
Twelve exposed stone pillars outside the hall support the huge roof of the Three Realms Palace, and the exquisite carving art on the stone pillars silently declares that this is a symbol of the royal family. These stone pillars are not ordinary coiling dragon pillars, the stone pillars are high relief cloud dragons, danfeng, rui birds, auspicious beasts, Taoist myths and secular stories of the world, the image is beautiful, the technique is round, lifelike.
The vigorous ancient trees, the high hanging cornices, the cascading bucket arches, the exquisite stone pillars, the gorgeous caisson wells, and the mottled murals make the Ganzhen Palace one of the best churches in Taoism.
Climb the high steps, pass through the mountain gate, there is a tree named fragrant soul wood, the shape is like a woman's na, similar to maple wood, and the flowers and leaves smell hundreds of miles, also called the anti-soul tree. The canopy of the fragrant soul tree is dense, full of white flowers, and the fragrance is far and wide. Buckle its tree, and it can also make its own sound, like a woman's whispering and murmuring, and those who hear it are shaken.
Legend has it that the heart of the wood root is cut down, boiled in the kettle, the juice is fried over a slight fire, and then the pill, this kind of elixir, called Zhen sandalwood, also called the death incense, the aroma smells hundreds of miles, the dead are on the ground, and the aroma can live.
Beiqiao Mountain has always been a royal sacred place, and no one can cut down wood, so no one can verify this legend.
There are only two Fragrant Soul Trees in the world, one is on the bank of the Hun'er River on the origin map of the Sassanid Cult, and the other is in Beiqiao Mountain, and this one in Beiqiao Mountain was moved from Beiyan in the early years.
The incense soul wood is a sacred tree of Sasanianism, why should it be planted in the Taoist palace? There is also a story of the dispute between the two religions.
In the early years of the Northern Yan, the status of the Sassanid Cult was faintly above the monarchy. Beiqiao Mountain, which is a sacred place of Taoism, was also invaded by the Sassanid Cult. This tree was asked by the high priest to be planted in the center of the courtyard, and Li Xuanzhi, the eleventh grandmaster of the Ganzhen Palace, was forced to accept this tree due to the power of the Sassanid Divine Cult.
But if you look closely, you will find that the Fragrant Soul Wood is not on the center line of the Taoist temple, but in the east-central position, which is the result of a compromise between the two sides.
The Sassanid Cult proclaimed itself magnanimous and accommodated Taoism.
Since then, Beiyan Taoism has been in a slump and has become increasingly sluggish, and the Sassanid Divine Religion has become the first major religion, and the world says that it has something to do with the tree, and I am afraid that it will be bad Feng Shui.
It wasn't until Weibi recovered Erzhou and Beiqiao Mountain returned to the Southern Dynasty that Taoist incense gradually appeared.
Xie Zhaorong was extremely poisoned, but it was not inexplicable.
Ren Suming just suggested, but he didn't expect Xiao Yue to ponder for a moment and immediately decide on the Northern Expedition.
The reason for the Northern Expedition is high-sounding, and only the two of them know the reason, but they know it tacitly.
It cannot be proved whether the fragrant soul wood can return the soul, but it is indeed a miracle medicine that has the effect of calming and calming the nerves.
According to Ren Suming, the fragrant soul wood is a medicinal material for making Gu poison, and the person who smells the Gu poison can make the Gu worm fall asleep and not drink the blood of the heart.
The army of the Southern Dynasties crossed the Dingjiang River, and Xiao Zhengzhi led 3,000 men and horses to Beiqiao Mountain in a hurry, and had a fierce conflict with the Taoist priest at the foot of the mountain.
The Taoist priest who guarded the mountain asked who came, and the third prince was arrogant and disdainful of talking to these people who pretended to be gods and ghosts, so he waved his hand to close the mountain and clear the mountain!
The Taoist priest is not happy, we feel that the True Palace has been a royal holy land since its establishment, and several real people have been sealed by the Son of Heaven and are extremely noble. What about the Holy Decree? What about hand metaphors? What about the guides? What about recommendation letters? None of them? O pardon the poor and rude, you cannot go up the mountain.
Xiao Zhengzhi scolded secretly, and didn't say a word.
How did dozens of people resist thousands of people, and they were knocked down after three times and five divided by two, and some Taoist priests were so frightened that they ran to the mountains to be in a hurry.
Coincidentally, at this time, Xue Mengzhuo was soaking in the hot springs in Beiqiao Mountain, and heard that someone was making trouble at the foot of the mountain, and he scolded bare-chested, who dared to do it in the master's territory! Who is it?!
As soon as he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he met Xiao Zhengzhi's subordinates, and the two sides immediately entered a scuffle.
……
So Xue Mengzhuo was escorted to Xiao Yue by Xiao Zhengzhi.
Xue Mengzhuo trembled like chaff, knowing that he had caused a big disaster, he couldn't wait to die immediately.
It's not been peaceful these years, the other party doesn't report to his family, and he thinks that the homeless grass Kou who jumped out of nowhere wants to occupy the mountain as the king.
Ren Suming was talking to Xiao Zhengzhi at the foot of the mountain about the origin of the True Palace, and the soldiers escorted Xue Mengzhuo, who had a blue nose and swollen face, to come down, Xue Mengzhuo still scolded, turned his head and saw Ren Suming, stunned, and then listened to Ren Suming's introduction Next to him was the third son, and his frightened face was like earth.
The third son, the crown prince, and the second son are not at all the same!
At this time, the nineteenth generation descendant of the Qingjing Sect of Ganzhen Palace was Li Chongding, who was in retreat, and when he learned of the change under the mountain, he hurriedly went down the mountain to ask for guilt.
Listening to Xiao Yue's question, the fragrant soul wood can be seen, Ren Suming arched his hand and said, "That tree is green and leafy, fragrant and lovely, it is really a divine tree." ”
Xiao Yue's eyebrows stretched slightly, and when he learned that Li Chongding was outside the door, he nodded and said please.
Xue Mengzhuo moved to the side with interest.
