The sixty-third episode of Tanabata Ruixiang
However, it is said that the re-collapse of the Moon Observatory has made Wukong and his descendants feel very frustrated! And as the designer of the Moon Observatory, Wukong also has deep doubts about his initial judgment when he built the platform......
"Brother Xian, in the process of building the platform twice, Brother Fool thought about how to be in harmony with the heavens, but never thought about how to be in the same place, let alone any Five Elements Gossip, so now it seems that Brother Fool was wrong from the beginning......" Wukong's voice became deeper and lower, and his eyes became dull......
"Then what should you and my brother do......" The descendants were suddenly in chaos!
"Brother Xian, don't worry, the matter of building the moon platform needs to be considered in the long run, and the foolish brother will think about it carefully......" Wukong sighed and locked himself in the room, falling into a long deep thought......
For seven days, Wukong sat cross-legged, his heart facing the sky, concentrating, and meditating......
Finally, on a morning when the red sun was rising, after a burst of shocking roosters singing, Wukong suddenly opened his mind and suddenly opened up......
Suddenly, a new plan for building a platform was born in Wukong's heart! In addition to surprise, after some careful consideration, Wukong knew it.
At this time, Wukong suddenly felt that his legs were sore, and his whole body was sleepy!
"Brother Jin, what's wrong?" the restless descendant hurriedly ran over when he heard the movement. The worried brothers followed suited them into the house.
"Brothers, why did you all wake up so early today?" said Wukong, smiling with a spring breeze on his face.
"Brother Shan, you haven't eaten or drunk for seven days and seven nights, you don't pay attention to it, you shouldn't call you, Brother Houyi and everyone are in a hurry......" Qiushui, whose eyes were bloodshot, couldn't help but say with disgust.
"Group leader, you only care about meditating on yourself, you are at ease, but you can know that Sister Qiushui is confused, she doesn't want to eat, and her eyes are full ......of tears," Xiu Gu smiled playfully on the side.
"Dead Nizi, what are you talking nonsense?" Qiushui glared at Xiu Gu, and a red glow suddenly flew on her cheeks......
Looking at Qiushui's shy appearance, Wukong didn't feel a fever in his ears, and his spirit was rippling......
But as soon as the root of the love moved, the feeling of splitting headache came again, Wukong couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly took his mind......
"Swarm...... Lord, you are ...... Didn't you think of looking...... New platform ...... Creation method, talent...... I can't help but ...... Scream ......," the little mute asked thoughtfully.
"Little brother is right, the foolish brother did think of a new method of five elements gossip and moon watching......" Wukong smiled and looked at everyone, and stopped talking......
"Is it, Brother Jin!" the descendant was surprised: "What kind of construction is it, can you say it with the younger brother?"
"Brother Xian, don't be in a hurry, don't panic, wait for Brother Fool to speak slowly......" Wukong Chengzhu talked eloquently, "The first two times we built the moon viewing platform only considered the circle of the sky, and did not involve the place, so the shape of the newly built platform should be changed. I think the ideal appearance of the moon platform should be the upper circle and the lower part, nine zhang and nine feet high, around the platform need to build a ring road up the stairs, a total of 360 steps to build, the platform stands on the top of eight stone pillars in a circle, between the stone pillars are connected by a half-height low wall, the circumference is four zhang! The platform is a square stone base under the platform, with a circumference of 12 zhang. In addition, at the beginning of the construction of Taiwan, when the foundation was built, in the east, west, south, north and middle five directions, one liter of acacia beans were planted with green, white, red, black and yellow, respectively......"
Wukong was immersed in his own meditation and narrated, but everyone was suspicious and looked at each other, as if falling into a fog......
Seeing this, Wukong further explained: "The moon platform below the upper circle symbolizes the round heaven and the earth, the height of nine zhang and nine feet means that ninety-nine is one, and the three hundred and sixty steps should be three hundred and sixty days of the week, and the eight pillars at the top of the platform represent the eight hexagrams of Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui, and the circumference of four zhang represents the change of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the stone base of the bottom of the platform is a year and twelve months and a day of twelve hours. As for these five-color acacia beans, it mainly represents the five elements of mutual growth and mutual restraint, green represents the eastern Jiayimu, white represents the western Gengxin gold, red represents the southern propylene fire, black represents the northern non decanic water, and yellow represents the central Wuxu soil. And one liter of acacia beans each, which means that the descendants of the virtuous brother and the fairy Chang'e have an endless love affair......"
Alas...... Who knows that lovesickness is bitter, and Tianhe will be separated for 500 years! Wukong's reasonable words caused his descendants to burst into tears in an instant......
"Big brother, what's wrong with you? Brother Jin has realized the new method of building the moon watchtower, you should be happy, right? It's just a moment of low mood, how can you still be sad and sad......" Wu Gang seemed to be a little absent-minded when he spoke, and there was no trace of joy on his face, and his demeanor when he spoke was more like a man and woman who was hurt by love and felt sorry for himself......
The sudden depressed mood of the two owners of the fence yard made the atmosphere of the scene suddenly weird. Wukong, who was originally full of interest, suddenly felt embarrassed, and all the brothers also felt embarrassed and uneasy.
"Hey, descent...... Brother, we haven't ...... yet Eat early ...... Food, right? My belly ...... The old ...... in the son Intestines, old ...... My stomach is starting to ...... set up a ......" The little mute pretended to be stupid and stunned, which instantly dissolved the depressing atmosphere at the scene......
"Brother Jin hasn't eaten or drunk for seven days and seven nights, and he has worked hard to reunite his eldest brother and eldest sister, so we should buy a first-class banquet and celebrate his achievements!" Wu Gang patted the little mute on the shoulder, and soon returned to his former coquettishness.
"The second brother is right, it's all because I'm out of control for a while! I'll go to the bazaar to buy some wine and meat to eat, and let's celebrate Brother Jin's success together!" the descendant turned from sadness to joy and laughed loudly.
"Okay...... everyone shouted in unison, hugging Wukong and celebrating......
The feast began at noon and lasted until the lantern was held, and everyone was drunk!
On the second day, everyone performed their duties and embarked on the long journey of Sanjian Wangyue Platform......
Compared with the previous two times, the amount of work to build the platform this time has almost increased more than ten times, but thanks to the tireless nine-headed dragon leech to help transport a large number of stones and wood, the construction of the platform can be carried out smoothly.
Even so, protracted hard work is inevitable......
Spring goes to autumn, flowers bloom and fall, and more than a year has passed in a blink of an eye. With the joint efforts of everyone, a brand new moon lookout platform has finally risen again!
From a distance, this moon-watching platform stands proudly and magnificently! Climb the stairs and stand on the top of the platform, and the bottom of your eyes is a vast ocean of plane trees. Occasionally, the wind comes, the green waves roll, the wild birds fly sideways, looking at the phoenix nirvana made in heaven on the Phoenix Mountain, a kind of birth and forgetting worries will be naturally filled with body and mind, at this time the guests of the platform have instantly turned into a part of the natural landscape, outsiders look at it, as if it has become a sculpture on the top of the moon platform......
It's July 7th, the annual beggar festival. In the area of Phoenix Mountain, there is a custom of gathering together to eat dumplings during the Chinese Valentine's Day. So, Wu Gang, Qiushui and Xiugu made some vegetarian dumplings. When making dumplings, a copper coin, a silver needle and a red date were specially wrapped into three dumplings.
It is said that when eating dumplings, those who are lucky enough to eat copper coins are blessed people, who are ingenious when they eat silver needles, and those who eat red dates will soon be married......
In the midst of everyone's gossip, a basin of steaming dumplings was brought up by Wu Gang, and everyone scrambled to pick it up, carefully holding it between their teeth and biting it gently......
This lunch was very funny, and the final result was that Wu Gang ate copper coins, Wukong ate silver needles, and red dates were fans who were in love with Xiugu.
At this time, flocks of magpies "chirp" and skimmed the fence yard. Out of curiosity, everyone came outside the house, only to see the magpies in the sky flying in the direction of Tonglin together, and went straight to the moon platform.
"It's not good, is there anything weird?" Wukong, Hou Yi and the others were shocked, and hurriedly walked out of the fence gate and came to the moon platform panting.
Looking up, I saw countless magpies lined up in a long line, from the bottom of the moon platform in a figure-of-eight circle, along the outside of the 360 steps to vibrate their feathers, fly to the top and hover for three weeks, and then go straight to Xiaohan......
Everyone was stunned by this fantastic scene of nature in an instant!
Those magpies rushing to the sky must be in a hurry to fly over the Milky Way to build a magpie bridge, right? In this case, the meeting of the ethereal magpie bridge is not just an ancient legend? And before these spirit birds flew into the sky, they actually walked around the moon platform, is this an auspicious omen?
And soon after, on the night of the full moon on August 15, it will be the big day for the descendants and Chang'e to meet on the platform, will such a pair of lovers who have been separated for 500 years be like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl?
"Descent...... Brother, look...... See? It's a ...... on the ...... of cattle Lang Weaver Girl ...... Before you and Chang...... Sister E's Moon ...... The Taiwan minister will meet and wish ...... Blessed!" The little mute looked up at the sky and said stupidly.
"By the words of the little brother, I hope that in the next month or so, there will be no more mistakes?" said the descendant with a solemn face.
"What Brother Xian is worried about is that July 30 is the first obscure day after the completion of the Five Elements Bagua Moon Observatory, and I wonder if the hateful four mandrills will make a comeback...... Wukong was quite worried......
The days seemed to turn into torment again, day by day, night by night, and finally on the last day of July.
Seeing the sun set, the heavily armed Wukong and his descendants and others once again lurked in the dense forest next to the moon watchtower. Whether it is good or bad, good or bad, only wait for the long dark night to reveal the answer......
