All Chapters_Chapter 196: The Legend of Lei Dongping
I looked at Chu Mad in the distance, and sighed slightly, this world is so big, there are really all kinds of people, if Chu Mad didn't have a good strength, with his ability to cause trouble, it is estimated that he would have been slaughtered a long time ago.
At this moment, the Cao brothers and sisters walked over, and Cao Jinbao said, "Brother Chen, thank you just now." ”
I smiled and said, "There's nothing to thank, that guy is really annoying, and I've been looking at him unpleasantly for a long time." ”
A few people talked for a while, and Monk Yuanming also saw the scene just now, and his attitude towards us changed slightly. After telling him about the night, the group rushed to the direction of Hongchun Temple, and the Buddha Yuantong seemed to have a little understanding in the battle with the demon himself just now, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end, and after arriving at Hongchun Temple, he flew directly in the direction of the Thousand Buddha Lotus Lamp in the Seven Directions.
After the Yuanming monk arranged a few rooms for us to rest, at this moment the time has passed midnight, the fatigue of a day of travel and the battle in the sky, everyone is exhausted, everyone did not talk much, hastily washed and then covered their heads and slept.
There was no word for the night, and it was not until the next day, when the light of the sun covered the earth again, that I got up from my bed in a daze, washed my face and refreshed myself, and joined the others.
At the invitation of the monk Yuanming, we had a meal in the temple, and the taste was indeed unique. Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, I looked at Yuan Ming, who was silent on the side, and asked, "Master Yuan Ming, I want to ask you a question, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”
Monk Yuanming was stunned and said, "Donor, please speak." ”
I said with some excitement in my heart: "Master Yuanming, I don't know if you have heard of such a thing as Che Ma Zhi?" ”
Yuan Ming was stunned for a moment, a trace of confusion flashed on his face, and after thinking for a while, he said, "The poor monk has never heard of Che Mazhi. I don't know what it is. ”
I felt a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, Che Ma Zhi was a kind of sacred object recorded by Zhang Hua in the "Naturalist Chronicles", which is rare in the world, and it is not surprising that these monks who practice in the temple all day have not heard of it.
I was a little unwilling in my heart, but Monk Yuanming made it clear that I didn't know, and I had no other way. However, I thought of Xiao Tong's intention to let us go to Lei Dongping, and I didn't know what his intentions were, so I thought of this and asked the monk Yuanming: "Master Yuanming, we want to go to Lei Dongping, I don't know if the master can tell us about some things about this Lei Dongping, such as legends or what supernatural events have happened." ”
After finishing speaking, I looked at the Yuanming monk with blazing eyes, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other is invincible, this old monk has practiced in Mount Emei for decades, and must know a lot of unknown things about these famous scenic spots.
"Lei Dongping, ah......"
The monk Yuanming thought for a while, and said leisurely: "Lei Dongping is one of the famous scenic spots of Mount Emei, and it is also the only way to climb the Golden Peak, and there are many legends left there. ”
I perked up and said, "Master Yuanming, please tell us about it." ”
Monk Yuanming nodded, cleared his throat, and said, "Lei Dongping, formerly known as the Thunder God Temple, was first built during the Han Dynasty to worship the legendary Thunder God. On the old side of Lei Dongping, there was a silence iron tablet, it is said that within a radius of 100 meters centered on the iron tablet, it is forbidden to make loud noises, if the sound of speech exceeds a limit, it will attract wind and rain, thunder and lightning bombardment. ”
"No, is this silent iron tablet so magical, it can really attract thunder and lightning?" Xia Yuanyang said with some disbelief in the back, and the others also showed suspicious looks, after all, this kind of thing is really a bit shocking.
Monk Yuanming smiled bitterly and said, "The old man doesn't know whether it's true or not, that stone tablet has been destroyed for many years, and what is left is just a legend." ”
Xia Yuanyang showed an expression that was really like this, and muttered: "This is probably just a bypass of the ancients, it is not uncommon for cultivators to attract thunder and lightning, but a piece of artifact can summon thunder and lightning and bombard a specific person who speaks loudly, this is impossible, unless the stone tablet has become a essence." ”
The monk Yuanming was noncommittal to Xia Yuanyang's words, and said to himself: "According to folk legends, between the cliffs on the right side of Lei Dongping, there are many caves left by ancient gods. According to legend, there are Nuwa's Feilai Sword Cave where Nuwa refines stones to make up for the sky, Fuxi Cave where Fuxi became sanctified, and Guigu Cave where Guiguzi wrote a book and said, and there are many such sayings, but no one has ever entered these caves, so no one knows whether it is true or false. ”
I nodded, this Lei Dongping seems to have an unknown magic, Nuwa and Fuxi are the ancient gods, the first ancestors of Chinese humanities, and Guiguzi is also a famous figure on the list of immortals, and is regarded as a Xuanwei real person by Taoism, and can be related to a few of them, whether it is true or false, but after all, it cannot be underestimated, I secretly keep an eye in my heart, and I am more cautious about this trip to Lei Dongping.
Seeing that I was listening carefully, Monk Yuanming bowed his head slightly, and continued: "In fact, when it comes to the legends and stories of Lei Dongping, the most famous should be the legend of the two gods. Legend has it that under the cliff of Lei Dongping, there are seventy-two caves, which have the dragon god and the god of thunder to live, in the past when encountering drought, the people came to the cliff side of Lei Dongping to pray for the gods to rain, they threw dead pigs, dogs or women's clothes, pants, shoes and socks under the cliff, often it will not take a while to storm and thunder, and the sky will rain nectar. In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi once gave the word "Lingjue" to Lei Dongping in his own hand. ”
"The dragon god and the god of thunder?"
I frowned and read it silently, a little more vigilant in my heart. Although many legends are nonsense, but there are also some that are not groundless, just like the original Mengding Mountain's King Yu Suojiao, many people think that it is just a story of the ancients' speculation, but the fact is that the King of Yu really suppressed the evil demons under Mengding Mountain. The Thunder Cave Ping in front of him, since it can attract the people to sacrifice, and even the emperor who is high above has written the imperial book, which is enough to show that there must be something strange behind him.
Monk Yuanming nodded and said softly: "It is said that in the past, when someone looked down the cliff at night, he saw a very long and large shadow of a creature, like a legendary dragon. There were even many people who claimed to have heard strange noises coming from under the cliffs, some of which were like the barking of a cow, but they were completely different, and they sounded majestic, and many of the people privately speculated that they said that what they saw and heard was the dragon god. ”
"Is it really a dragon god? Hasn't anyone ever gone down the cliff to see it themselves? Cao Jinbao, who had been sitting silently next to him, suddenly said that he was a young man when he was enthusiastic, and suddenly heard the Yuanming monk mention the dragon, and he hurriedly asked excitedly.
Monk Yuanming smiled bitterly: "The cliff of the Thunder Cave Ping is like a knife and an axe, and it is difficult for ordinary people to climb on it. And in the outside world, the altitude of Lei Dongping is more than 2,000 meters, from the top down is full of clouds and mist, no one knows how deep this cliff is, just looking at it is enough to make people daunting, ordinary people simply do not have the courage to climb these cliffs. ”
"Many years ago, there was a famous scientific expedition team that wanted to find out the truth about the Lei Dong Ping, but they didn't know what they saw under the Lei Dong Ping, anyway, they all ran away in the end, and I heard that they seemed to have broken several people below." Monk Yuanming's voice was a little low.
I hurriedly asked, "Didn't they say they found anything down there?" ”
Monk Yuanming shook his head and said, "The old man doesn't know, these are also the words of some donors who came to the temple to offer incense when they were idle. ”
I nodded with some regret, but in my heart I was curious about the things under the Thunder Cave Ping, and I didn't know if there were really seventy-two caves down there, and whether the legendary Thunder God and Dragon God really lived in them?
Everyone talked for a while, and finally after thanking the Yuanming monk for his hospitality, we turned around and left, heading towards Lei Dongping in the high mountainous area.
