Chapter 407: Chenglu Plate
readx;
Although I knew this poem, I didn't know the source, so I asked him: "If there is love in the sky, the sky will be old, and the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I know this, isn't it the chairman's poem? ”
Li Dong shook his head and said: "The chairman just borrowed it, the first half of the sentence is from Li He's "Golden and Bronze Immortal Ci Han Song", the full text is: Maoling Liu Lang Qiu Fengke, the night heard the horse neighing without a trace." The laurel tree hangs autumn incense, and the soil flowers of the thirty-six palaces are green. Wei Guan led the car and pointed to thousands of miles, and the sour wind in Dongguan shot his eyes. The empty general Han Yue went out of the palace gate, and Yijun cleared his tears like lead water. Decline Lan sends guests to Xianyang Road, if there is love in the sky, the sky is also old! The moon is desolate with a disk, and Weicheng has been far away. ”
I was confused and asked him, "What the hell is this talking about?" And what does it have to do with that pillar? ”
Li Dong sighed and said, "That thing is called Chenglu Plate, and the full name is the Golden and Bronze Immortal Chenglu Plate. Speaking of the origin of this thing, that's a long story......"
Next, Li Dong told the ins and outs of Chenglu Pan, and the girl in white and Xiaoxiao also stopped and listened silently.
This should start with Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty......
Since the reign of Qin Shi Huang, the emperors of all dynasties have begun to pursue the way of immortality, among which Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is the most.
He searched for overseas immortal continents and sweet liquid jade, in order to "immortality", in order to achieve a mysterious "life information" fit with the slim fairy world, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build a series of buildings to receive immortals, Chenglupan immortal statue is one of the larger projects.
So what else does the dew disc do? Since ancient times, "dew" has been attached to the auspicious thing.
"Beginner's Record" quoted "Rui Yingtu" as saying: "The dew is thick for nectar, and the king is virtuous, and the nectar descends on its plants and trees." It can be seen that "manna descending" is a sign of the emperor's benevolent government and virtue of the people.
According to Guo Xian's "Cave Meditation" of the Han Dynasty, it is recorded: "The land of auspicious clouds in the East Shuo travels...... The glazed ware of Xuanhuang Qinglu Sheng was awarded to the emperor (referring to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty). The emperor gave all the ministers, and those who got to taste it, the old people were few, and the diseases were cured. This legend reflects the general psychology of the Han people, that is, they believe that taking manna can cure illness and prolong life.
Based on the two considerations of flaunting virtue and seeking longevity, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built a dew plate in Chang'an to receive the nectar given by God.
"Taiping Yulan": "In the second year of Emperor Wu's Yuanfeng (109 B.C.), he made Ganquan Tongtiantai. …… There is a jade cup on the Chenglu plate, and the dew of the clouds and the sky. …… During the Yuanfeng period (80 years ago - 75 years ago), the platform self-destructed, and the trees all turned into dragon wind, flying away with the wind and rain. ”
"The Story of Han Wu": "Build a rooftop in Ganquan, go to the ground for more than 100 zhang, look at the ** under it, and see Chang'an City." When Emperor Wu sacrificed Taiyi, went to the rooftop, danced three hundred eight-year-old virgins, worshiped at the ancestral hall, and recruited immortals to sacrifice Taiyiyun. …… There is a cactus jade cup on the dew plate, and the dew of the cloud table. ”
These two records about the Chenglu plate on the roof of Ganquan Palace are not found in the official history, and the "Story of Han Wu" is a strange note, the content is absurd, and it is not credible. What is recorded here is that the rooftop actually self-destructs and turns into a dragon and a phoenix, how miraculous. This obviously cannot be read as a history of letters. But what it records is as high as the platform that leads to the sky, standing on the platform, and having a panoramic view of Chang'an City; Another example is the grand scale of Emperor Wu's sacrifice to the god Taiyi, which may be used as historical data for reference.
There are two Chenglu disks that are truly recognized by the historiography. One of them is the dew plate on the Bailiang platform; The second is the dew plate on the platform of the gods of Jianzhang Palace.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty listened to the words of the scholars and thought that by grinding the jade into powder and drinking it with dew, he could live forever. In order to obtain this pure dew from heaven, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built a copper dew plate as high as 20 zhang in Bailiang Palace. Unfortunately, the disc was destroyed by fire.
But after the Bailiang fire, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not seem to have woken up from his dream. In the same year that the Bailiang Palace fired, he couldn't wait to build the Jianzhang Palace. This is the nonsense that he mistakenly believed in Yue Wu, thinking that after the fire, a new palace should be built immediately, and the scale must be made larger, and the building materials should be made of high-quality cedar wood with a fragrance of dozens of miles, so as to restrain the fire.
Jianzhang Palace Chenglu plate is 20 zhang high, big seven circumferences, with copper for it, there is a cactus Chenglu, and jade shavings to obey it. Gai Zhang Heng's "Xijing Fu" said: "The cactus of the stem, the dew of the cloud surface, and the crumbs of Qiongrui to the morning meal, will be life-saving." ”
Judging from these records, although the momentum of Jianzhang Palace is more magnificent, the Chenglu plate on the Shenming Platform is no different from that of Bailiang Palace in terms of system, material, and use.
The fairy dew inherited in the dew plate, the method of obtaining this fairy dew is complicated and secret. Don't look at the huge project of Chenglu Panxingshi, in fact, this immortal dew is just an ingredient for Fangshi's alchemy. If it is taken by ordinary people, ordinary dew can be used as medicine. But what kind of identity Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is, how can he be the same as ordinary people. Therefore, just in order to reconcile the dew of the elixir, a lot of manpower and material resources were spent to build the dew tray, and it was built twice.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built a Chenglu plate, just waited for the Fang Shi to refine the pill for him, and after taking it, he became immortal and ranked in the immortal class. However, things went wrong. The only one who knew the method, Li Shaojun, died before the recipe was written, but the body disappeared, and Emperor Wu of Han firmly believed that Li Shaojun had gone to the fairy world. At this point, Chenglu has become an ornament.
After the fall of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Cao Rui of Wei Ming, the grandson of Cao Cao, ordered the relocation of the Tongxian Chenglupan from Chang'an to Luoyang.
Unexpectedly, during the relocation, the copper fairy Chenglu disc was completely damaged, and the last broken parts were also discarded. This history has been recorded by many documents such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Spring and Autumn of the Han Dynasty", and even the one hundred and fifth chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the four famous works, "Wuhou pre-ambush the plan, the Lord of Wei dismantles the Chenglu plate", this history is also described.
And Li He's poem was written about Emperor Wei Ming's removal of Chenglupan, that is, the bronze immortal statue in front of Chang'an Jianzhang Palace.
After saying this large list of allusions, I felt that my thinking was a little messy, as if many things were somehow connected, but I couldn't find the key point for a while, and my eyes seemed to be shrouded in a fog, and things that seemed to be gradually clear and clear suddenly became confusing.
According to Li Dong, the copper pillar in front of us is the Chenglu plate built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in front of the Jianzhang Palace, which was later moved by Emperor Wei Ming, but historical records record that the Chenglu plate was completely damaged during the transportation process, but who moved it here? Could it be that there are still people who have been using it to inherit the immortal dew and use it to refine the elixir?
There are more and more mysteries in this Crystal Heavenly Palace, but what secrets are there that no one knows? Is this the Yandi City that Ah Sheng is looking for?
I suddenly looked up at the girl in white, and it all fell on her, as if she was going to take us somewhere, or somebody.
The girl blushed a little from my burning gaze, snorted, turned and left.
Li Dong laughed on the side: "My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good, I can't ask for it, I can't help it." You can't be anxious to chase girls, although you have to be bold and thin-skinned, but you also have to be in a sequence, you can't put your heart away, just be bold and thick-skinned, this is not good......"
When did this guy become as verbose as Da Kui......
Besides, who said I was going to chase her...... Well, but I'll have to catch up with her quickly, the girl has already rounded the square and entered a side street, where the terrain is too complicated to be in trouble if you are embarrassed.
I ran over in three steps and two steps, and when I turned the corner, I suddenly found that there was a palace at the end of the street, and there were several igloos next to the street, but there was a hazy light inside, but the inner walls of the igloos were blocked, and I couldn't see the actual situation.
But at this point I had no time to care about anything else, because the girl in white and Xiaoxiao were gone......
I hurriedly beckoned Li Dong behind me, and immediately walked to an igloo next to the street, this ice carved house is about dozens of square meters in size, but I circled around it, but I couldn't find where the entrance was.
I went to the igloo on the opposite side to check it out, and again, there was no entrance or secret door, and a bad feeling arose in my heart, and I immediately shouted out the little name.
The shouts echoed in the empty streets, but there was still no news, what should I do? Why did these two big living people disappear all at once?
Just when I was anxious, Li Dong stretched out his hand and stabbed me and said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
When I looked, he was pointing to the palace in front of me.
That's right! I slapped my forehead and said, "Look at my head!" How did you forget this place, let's hurry over and take a look. ”
There is an ice wall outside this palace, there is no door on the wall, and in front of the gap is an ice screen, and the ice wall is all translucent ice, and the reliefs on it are all various forms of dragons, which are lifelike and vivid.
We weren't in the mood to stop and admire the ice sculptures, so we quickly bypassed the screen and came to the main entrance of the Ice Palace in a blink of an eye.
One of those two people was Xiaoxiao, and the other was not a girl in white, but ......
