Chapter Seventy-Six: Liang Fei Pagoda
They don't want us to know, and we can't know, so forget it, listen to you and wait and see. I sighed lightly and looked at Lingzheng helplessly.
Lingzheng smiled softly and did not speak.
The next morning, our group came to the Liangfei Pagoda again.
When we arrived, there was an old man sitting in front of the tower, carrying a medicine frame on his back, pouring water into his mouth, and it seemed to be a nearby villager who had gone up the mountain to collect medicine. I looked moved and walked towards the old man.
"Hello uncle! Are you here to go up the mountain to collect medicine? I asked.
The old man nodded, "Yes, the family is poor, and the son is not angry." I can't help it, but I'm tired of my old bones. ”
“…… It's not easy for you. I comforted with difficulty.
I'm not very good at comforting people, and I'm a little short of words for a while.
Fortunately, the old man didn't seem to want to talk about this anymore, and quickly took the initiative to change the topic: "What are you here for?" Look like you're like this, don't you look like you're here to collect medicine? ”
"We are here to travel to see the scenery, and I heard that the scenery here is very good!" I said hurriedly.
"That is, the scenery of our Tiantai Mountain, but it is one of the best in Zhejiang, how about it? When you came up, did you see those wonders? Is it good-looking? The old man's eyes were tinged with pride.
I nodded and looked excited, "See, see, it's beautiful!" Uncle, such a beautiful scenery, why is it called Tiantai Mountain? Why isn't it called Meijing Mountain? Also, why is this tower called Liangfei Tower? What's the origin? ”
The old man glanced back at the Liangfei Pagoda behind him, the tower looked very tall and majestic, and when he walked to it, he could carefully see that some cobwebs had formed in some places, and a lot of dust had accumulated on it.
The tower is already somewhat dilapidated.
"Yes, I think about it, I don't have a good memory when I'm old." The old man said.
"Hmm."
Lingzheng and I gathered around and sat down beside the old man.
The old man first introduced us to the history of the Liang Concubine Tower: the Liang Concubine Tower was built in the fourth year of Liang Datong, that is, in 538 AD, it was built by Xiao Cha, the king of Liang Yueyang in the Southern Dynasty, for the princess, so it is called the Liang Concubine Tower. The Liang Concubine Pagoda is more than half a century earlier than the Sui Pagoda of Guoqing Temple, towering on the top of Chicheng Mountain in Tiantai Mountain, with eight sides and seven levels, the shape is like a sharp sword, piercing the sky.
Liang Fei Taang and Yunxia swallowed each other, extremely spectacular.
Standing under the tower and looking around, you can see the scenery within a radius of dozens of miles.
The Guoqing Temple in the east is also close at hand, the Sui Tower there towers over the clouds, the Tiantai City in the south is at the foot, it is the new city and the ancient city, the west is the Tongbai Immortal Mountain, looming in the clouds and mist, and the north is the Tiantai Mountain with majestic and magnificent mountains and mountains.
After listening to the old man talk about the history and geographical location of the Liangfei Pagoda, I couldn't wait to ask: "What is the legend of the Liangfei Pagoda?" ”
"Legend, I also heard others say that it is red, it is said that during the same year of Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu, there lived a girl at the foot of Chicheng Mountain on the rooftop, whose name was Narcissus. Narcissus is a well-known beauty within a radius of dozens of miles, she is kind-hearted, not only to please the villagers, but also boldly fall in love with a woodcutter. Later, the emperor list was posted inside and outside the city of Tiantai Mountain County, saying that the emperor ordered to select palace maids all over the country, and after the beauty pageant arrived at Tiantai, he heard the good reputation of the narcissus girl, so he came to the Wang family with the soldiers.
"When they saw the true face of the narcissus, they found that she was really a stunning beauty."
"The beauty pageant thinks, if you bring the narcissus girl to the emperor, the emperor will definitely be happy, and maybe he will be added to the knighthood."
And so...... He hurriedly ordered his subordinates to take the Narcissus Girl away, but the Narcissus Girl was already in love with the woodcutter, she was unwilling to enter the palace, so she naturally cried and shouted and refused to leave, and the soldiers did not dare to do anything for fear of hurting the Narcissus, and it was not good to send it to the emperor when the time came, so she could only slowly drag forward and backward. After the woodcutter on the other side got the news, he hurried over to stop it, but the beauty pageant ignored the woodcutter's actions and shouts, and finally became anxious and forcibly let the daffodils take away. ”
"A couple of lovers were dismantled alive like this, alas......"
The old man sighed and sighed.
"And then?" I asked.
"Later? Later, the beauty pageant sent all the beauties selected from all over the country to the palace. More than 3,000 newly selected palace maids, just like more than 3,000 flowers, the most beautiful of which is the Narcissus Girl, Emperor Wu of Liang saw the Narcissus Girl, and immediately made her a concubine, and ordered the palace maid to wear a phoenix crown for her. The biggest meritorious beauty pageant was also rewarded by the addition of an official to the knighthood. The narcissus girl couldn't help it, she just kept bowing her head and crying silently, she didn't eat or drink all day, it was useless for anyone to coax her, and Emperor Wu of Liang couldn't do anything. ”
"Outside the palace, ......"
"Chopper Lang thinks about the narcissus girl at home, and he also cries silently without eating or drinking all day long, and his heart is like a knife. He stayed at home for a few days, couldn't sit still anymore, simply sold his family property as travel expenses, and went to Beijing alone. After running around for a few days, he finally arrived in the capital, and he came to the gate of Jiankang's tall palace to enter, but was stopped by the general guarding the gate. ”
"No entry without a token."
Chopping Chai Lang was in a hurry, and lied that he was the brother of the new palace concubine Narcissus, but the guy guarding the door didn't believe it, and still didn't let him in. As a result, the general was annoyed by his entanglement, and one day he drank some wine at noon, and when he saw that he was making trouble again, he asked people to cut him down in a fit of anger. After Chopping Chai Lang died, the general guarding the gate entered the palace to tell Emperor Wu of Liang about the incident. ”
"Coincidentally, Emperor Wu of Liang was coaxing the Narcissus Concubine in the Appreciation Palace, and when the general came to tell him, the Narcissus Girl also heard it. Knowing in his heart that the eight achievements that came were chopping wood, he cried loudly for a while, and begged Emperor Wu of Liang to let her take a look. "She told Emperor Wu of Liang that she did have a brother."
Emperor Wu of Liang also let her go. After the narcissus girl arrived, she recognized that it was indeed the corpse of the woodcutter, and instantly burst into tears, kneeling on the body of the woodcutter, crying to death, and the one who heard the tears and saw the sadness. After she cried for a while, she suddenly took off the gold bracelet given by Emperor Wu of Liang on her arm, and fell to the ground with a snap, startling the people around her, and then she cried loudly, and slammed into the stone pillar next to her, and the people next to her hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, but it was too late. Narcissus was bleeding profusely and died beside Chopper. ”
All dead?
I sighed silently in my heart.
Crazy men and women......
The old man continued: "In the second year, that is, in July of the fourth year of Emperor Wu of Liang, King Yueyang came to visit Tiantai Mountain, and heard the local people talk about the generosity and martyrdom of the Narcissus Concubine, and his heart was very moved, so he ordered the Tiantai County Officials to build a princess tower on the top of Chicheng Mountain to show his nostalgia. In less than half a year, the tower was built, the descendants called this tower the Liang Concubine Tower, the local people are grateful to the Narcissus girl for the kindness of the poor people who often help the poor during her lifetime, and build the statue of the shrine in the cave not far from the tower, this is the Narcissus Cave that has survived to this day. ”
I sighed, "So, that narcissus girl is still an infatuated lover, but unfortunately she was born at the wrong time." ”
I don't know what Emperor Liang Wudi felt after knowing this?
The old man nodded and stood up, "It's not early, old man, I'll go down the mountain first, go home and eat." Come back in the afternoon. ”
"Uncle, go slowly." We hurriedly said goodbye to the old man.
The old man waved his hand and walked away with the medicine frame on his back.
The spirit was sitting there, looking up at the sky, thoughtful.
I walked to Lingzheng and sat down, King Ling's tomb sat down next to me, handed me a bottle of mineral water, I took it, smiled sweetly at him, Shen Yan's face sank, and sat on the other side of King Ling's tomb, "Brother Tomb, let's go sit over there?" "King Ling's tomb ignored her, she was bored with herself, and glared at me angrily.
I rubbed my nose.
What's the matter with the old lady, staring at the old lady all day long, the old lady gouges out your eyeballs!
I gently nudged Lingzheng: "Lingzheng, what are you thinking?" ”
Lingzheng ignored me.
The tomb of King Ling on the other side opened his mouth: "First year, do you remember where Chang Bai was killed?" ”
"It's near the tower, near the Narcissus Cave." I said without thinking.
"However, Zhang Heng didn't meet Chang Bai here at that time, but by the river in the middle of the mountain, after he caught Chang Bai, why did he specially bring Chang Bai here to kill him?"
King Ling's words stopped me for a while.
yes, why?
But we are all here, is it difficult to go down the mountain again and ask Zhang Heng? Besides, Chang Bai has also gone to reincarnation, and this matter has come to an end.
"Shall we enter the tower?" I looked up at the tall Liang Fei Pagoda.
King Ling's tomb nodded: "Come in, whatever he has, come one, the uncle will kill one, come two, and the uncle will kill a pair." ”
Ling Zheng suddenly glanced at King Ling's tomb: "Don't worry, be cautious." ”
King Ling's Tomb opened his mouth to refute Ling Zheng, but I hurriedly diverted the topic: "Ouch, the air outside is so good, let's be more happy with the beautiful scenery before going in." After speaking, I pulled Lingzheng up, walked around the Liangfei Pagoda, observed it carefully, and found that there was a mystery in it.
This tower is a tower built on the basis of the five elements of the eight trigrams, and the spiritual veins of the tower are implicated in the narcissus cave, it seems that this tower is indeed not simple.
King Ling's tomb waved his hand: "Uncle doesn't care if he is simple or not, let's break in first." ”
Lingzheng shook his head, raised his hand, and looked at the watch on his wrist: "It's almost twelve o'clock, don't enter the tower yet." ”
"If you don't say you won't enter?"
Ling Zheng didn't even look at King Ling's tomb, turned around and left. King Ling's temper came up at once, and chased to Lingzheng's side, I was frightened, afraid that the two of them would fight, so I was busy among them: "Come in later, rest here, eat something, I'm so hungry." ”
"Brother Tomb, people are hungry too."
Shen Yan squeezed in.
I took out the bread and mineral water I had brought in my backpack and divided a little bit among myself: "Everyone is in the same boat now, we have the same goal, so ah, we have to be united, you know?" ”
King Ling's tomb clasped his hands on his chest and stood aside.
Shen Yan glanced at me and walked to King Ling's tomb.
I snorted and stuck out my tongue at Lingzheng: "It's still the best for our family Lingzheng." ”
There is a reason why Lingzheng does not let him enter the tower now, because it is about to be twelve o'clock, twelve o'clock is the time of yin and yang, it is the time of extreme yin and extreme yang, and it is about the same as twelve o'clock at midnight, and the yin qi is also the thickest of the day, and most people only know that twelve o'clock in the evening is the time of extreme yin, but they do not know that twelve o'clock in the day is also.
Lingzheng kept looking in the direction of the Liangfei Pagoda and the Narcissus Cave, thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking.
It was half past twelve after dinner, and we decided, just in case, to wait a little longer, and then enter the tower at one o'clock. We do this business, we are very sensitive to time, and there are strict requirements, when to do what to do, what to do, there are rules, just like the current situation, to pinch the time before entering the tower.
It's okay now, but I'm lucky enough to move around a bit and enjoy the scenery by the way.
I didn't pay attention when I came just now, but the scenery here is really as beautiful as the old man said. We are now at the top of the mountain, it looks like it is close to the clouds, I am standing on the edge of the cliff looking at the sky, there is a long line of milky white next to the opposite peak, composed of dense fog and clouds, with the orange sun looks extremely beautiful, I looked up for a while, a little stupid.
This should be the so-called silver lining.
"Look! The cloud didn't look like a bear. I excitedly dragged Lingzheng and looked at a cloud in the sky.
Lingzheng nodded: "Like." ”
I've long been accustomed to his somewhat cold attitude, and Lingzheng's character is like this.
I looked at the scenery around again, and I really thought it was more beautiful the more I looked at it.
King Ling's tomb walked over dissatisfied: "Can you enter or not?" ”
Ling Zheng looked down at the table below, and said lightly: "It's almost time, let's get ready to enter the tower." ”
