Chapter 281: Go and ask for help
"Hmph, you're so crazy, it's all this time, who do you think you are......?
"Don't talk nonsense, don't do it, it just so happens that my demon blade is also hungry, and killing you people is just enough to fill my stomach with this demon blade!" Yuan Jing raised the demon blade and said arrogantly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Hmph, you're still so hard-mouthed when you're dying!"
"Then let's try it!" Yuan Jing finished speaking, then he raised his knife and fought with those disciples of the Six Realms, and he couldn't tell the winner for a while.
Ape Xing and others hurried day and night, and finally arrived at the Goddess Peak, this calculation, it has been two days since departure, Ape Xing and others continued to climb the Goddess Peak in a hurry, and the sky was already dark at this time.
Coming to the Goddess Peak, Ape Star and the others knelt on the ground and said reverently: "The zombie Ape Star who came, the old ghost, the demon general Charm, came to ask to see the Goddess Yaoji!"
Sure enough, not long after, the goddess Yaoji came slowly from a puff of white smoke with a breeze, looked at Ape Xing and the others and said, "Who kneel, get up and speak!"
"Goddess Yaoji, we are here to ask for something important, and we ask Goddess Yaoji to help us......" Ape Star said.
"What are you asking for?" asked Yaoji.
"Here's the thing......" Ape Star said slowly.
"Is there such a thing in this world?" asked Yaoji.
"But with this matter, we are not the opponent of the Divine Turtle, so I want to ask the Divine Lady Yaoji to help me, you have invited the Dragon Girl and the White Old Dragon, and if you subdue this Divine Turtle, it can be regarded as a benefit to the people!"
"I'm sure I'll help with this, but I need to ask the Queen Mother for her favor and get her permission!" said Yaoji.
"But this matter is already very serious, and it can't be delayed!" said Ape Star. It's not for anything else, but the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother had a serious grievance with the Six Realms some time ago, and I went to ask for help today, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will breed trouble and deliberately embarrass it!
"Don't worry, I've also heard about you and the Heavenly Realm, but after all, this matter is for the people of the world, I think the Queen Mother will definitely not ignore it, not to mention that the Queen Mother of the Immortal King has already begun to do great things!" Yao Ji said with a smile.
"Do good, do good?" Ape Star asked.
"You don't know...... Yao Ji said.
On the east side of the small stream river in Longmen Tianguan, Yesanpo, there is a very big stone, called Li'er Stone. Above the stone face there is a stone pit two feet long, one foot wide, and one inch deep. Fifteen zhang away from Li'er Stone, on the cliff is a stone carved Buddha statue.
Before that, although the Queen Mother lived comfortably in the palace, she was sullen all day long. As the saying goes, "Everyone has a scripture that is difficult to read," there is one thing that has not been going well for her. I think that the first child she gave birth to was a daughter, and she was very happy, and the second child she gave birth to was a daughter, and she was also the heart of her mother. When she saw that the third and fourth were girls, the Queen Mother was not happy—she was looking forward to her son. In order to have a son, the queen mother was angry until seven, but seven of them were all girls, and it was still rare to have a son. Worried about this, she didn't think about food, stayed awake all night, and sighed all day long. The Jade Emperor was also worried about this.
One day, the Jade Emperor accompanied the Queen Mother to go down to the world to relax, came to Longmen Gorge on the top of the Ten Thousand Heavenly Pass, stood on the top of the mountain and looked down, it was really "two mountain walls standing close to the sky, a water line white practice flying". The Jade Emperor praised: "What a fairyland on earth!" Where did the Queen Mother have the heart to enjoy the scenery, she pouted and stood aside just sullenly. The Jade Emperor knew what was on her mind, and suddenly remembered why not let her go to the Buddha to ask for the way to give birth to a child. He told the Queen Mother about this idea, and the Queen Mother also agreed, so she immediately drove the auspicious clouds to the west sky, found Rulai, and said: "I have given birth to daughters many times, and it is rare to have a son, and I hope that the great immortal will teach the way of giving birth to a child." ”
If you think about it: You have given birth to seven girls and still want a son, wouldn't it be a mess of heaven? He had an idea: Why don't I try my luck with the stone throwing method, so he said to the queen mother: "A hundred steps away from the east side of the small stream in Longmen Tianguan, there is a standing stone, and the boy and girl must throw three stones into the stone hole to ask. If all three stones are hit, there will be a man and a woman; if two of them fall, only a boy will be born, and if only one stone will be hit, then only a girl will be born and no man will be born; if no one of the stones can be hit, then there will be no man and no woman, and it will be 'the fate of the family'. ”
The Queen Mother begged for her son, and when she heard this, she hurried back. At this time, the Buddha pointed a little with his finger, and on the east side of the creek river in the Longmen Tianguan Scenic Area of Yesanpo, a large stone weighing several thousand catties immediately protruded, and a very shallow rectangular stone pit was concave above the stone. The Queen Mother tiptoed on her heels and threw stones into the stone pit according to the words of the Buddha. The first stone missed, and the second stone didn't even touch the edge of the pit, but fortunately the third stone fell into the pit. The Queen Mother was in a dull mood, standing on the Wang'er collar at the highest place of Longmen Tianguan, looking up to the sky and lamenting: "I can't ask for children, so I have to put it on my daughters!"
"So from then on, the Queen Mother began to accumulate virtue and do good, just to be able to move heaven and earth, and give another son!" said Yaoji.
"So that's the case, then I'll have to bother Yaoji to run it herself. Ape Star said.
"Okay, then you guys will go back in a moment, I'll go and go back!" Yao Ji finished and left.
When it was about time to arrive, Yao Ji came back with a smile, and when she saw the ape star, she said straight and straight: "This queen mother has already allowed it, but I am entrusted not to harm the life of the turtle, although this turtle is at fault first, but the heavenly realm will punish it according to reason, so you see ......"
"This is natural, it's all up to the Queen Mother and the Goddess Yaoji!"
"Then without further ado, let's go to the South China Sea now, and ask the dragon girl to come out of the mountain first!" said Yao Ji.
Ape Xing was very happy, nodded again and again, and rushed to the South China Sea with Yao Ji, although several people were silent along the way, Yao Ji still said one thing to Ape Xing!
"The Queen Mother gave me guidance and told me that if I want to subdue this turtle, I still need the help of a few people......"
"As long as you surrender this turtle and ask someone for help, I, Ape Xing, will never give up, I don't know who this is invited?"
"Eight Immortals!"
"Eight Immortals?"
"Yes, the wandering immortals who travel all over the world, help others, and rescue the people are Tie Guan Li, Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, Lan Caihe, He Xiangu, Lu Dongbin, Han Xiangzi, and Uncle Cao Guo!" Yao Ji said.
"I don't know where these people are now, I'll go and invite them right away!" Ape Xing asked anxiously.
"Don't be impatient, although these people are easy to invite and helpful, they have a strange temper ......"
"What temper?" asked the old ghost.
"It is also a characteristic that they have in common, that is, they love vanity, but they love vanity not for money or anything, but for others to know about his life deeds, so when you go to invite them, just tell them one of the most famous things in their lives, and when they are happy, they will agree to help you!" said Yaoji.
"And this kind of thing, it's very easy to do!" said the old ghost.
"Okay, then do you know the life and whereabouts of these Eight Immortals?" asked Yaoji.
This time I asked a few people, but fortunately, Ape Xing was clever, and hurriedly said: "We don't know, but the goddess Yao Ji knows, and I hope Yao Ji will explain it to us!"
Yao Ji nodded and said: "Tie Gui Li is the leader of Tie Gui Li, also known as Li Xuan......"
Li Xuanben is a scholar with clear eyebrows, courteous literary quality, and burly figure, and he is a decent and great husband. Due to the corruption in the examination room, he fell to Sun Shan many times, and since then he has been discouraged, seen through the red dust, ran away from home, learned the Tao and visited immortals, and specialized in the art of cultivation. A few years have passed, and Li Xuan feels that he has achieved little success. One day, he realized the reason why he did not grow: there was no famous teacher to guide him in cultivating Taoism, and he relied on his own opinions, and it was difficult to achieve half the result, so he decided to follow the old immortal to learn the Tao. Later, Li Xuan walked on the mountain in his spare time to practice in stalagmite mountain, suddenly listened to the fairy music loudly, looked up, the air was auspicious, the sun was shining, Ruicai thousands, a green cow and a crane appeared in the sky, and there were two immortal ancestors of Taishang Laojun and Wanqiu sitting on them, Tie Guan Li hurriedly knelt down and said: "I don't know that the immortal ancestor is coming, I can't prepare for it, look at the ......." ”
"Hahaha" Lao Jun smiled: "Your Taoism has made great progress, it is not easy, Wanqiu and I plan to travel to various places, I want to take you with me, you must be in ten days later, do not miss the appointment, remember." The old gentleman said, drove the ox and the crane away.
In the blink of an eye, the ten-day deadline had arrived, and Tie Guan Li said to his apprentice Yang Zi: "For the master at the invitation of the master, the soul leaves, and the body remains here, so you must take care of it, if you don't see my soul return after seven days, it is enough to prove that the teacher has been listed in the immortal class, and you will incinerate my body." Seven days, remember!" After speaking, Li Xuan sat cross-legged, his breath sank into the dantian, and the gods went out of his body and drifted away.
In the middle of the night on the sixth day, the apprentice Yang Zi met a white-haired old man in his sleep, this old man was kind and kind, full of red light, holding a handful of Buddha dust, the old man smiled and said to Yang Zi: " Your mother will pass away, you go back to your mother to send your filial piety to the end, there is a stone on a hill near your home, the shape is like an eagle's beak, there is a small hillside opposite the stone, there is a family surnamed Dong living on the side of the hillside, after your mother dies, bury your mother on the small hillside, the family surnamed Dong is kind, their family has been guarding the treasures for many years on the small hillside and not taking them for themselves, waiting for the destined people to dig, the dug up treasures should be immediately moved to the head of the ravine to find the family surnamed Luo to hide, when you leave, you want to thank the Dong family, you have to bless them, bless them Dong family and grandchildren prosperous, ten thousand years of incense, generations of prosperity”。
Tuomeng was awakened by a thunderstorm, and Yang Zi thought back: "The old man must be a fairy dream"! Yang Zi didn't dare to be careless, sighing that loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, the master has been away for six days, I'm afraid I can't come back, and the mother's life is dying, or the master and his old man's body cremated, Yang Zi knelt in front of the master, kowtowed and cried to cremate the master's body, and then hurried home to visit the old mother, and when he returned home, as the old man said, the mother was dying, and soon the mother died, Yang Zi followed the guidance of the old man to dream, looking near the house, and sure enough, he found the rock shaped like an eagle's beak, and also found the family surnamed Dong on the hillside below, Yang Zi respectfully explained to the Dong family the intention, and the hard-working Dong family dug the hill with him, Sure enough, according to what the old man said, he dug up a large number of treasures, and Yang Zi immediately followed the old man's instructions, bowed down and blessed the Dong family: "May your descendants be prosperous, incense will continue for ten thousand years, and the generations will be prosperous, and they will marry wives and have men." Yang Zi was excited because of Debao, and added incoherently "marry a wife and have a man" He thought: "Only when all boys are born will the incense continue", so he added this sentence, it is said that the daughters-in-law of the Dong family later gave birth to boys.
Yang Zi transported all the treasures to the head of the ravine and handed them over to the family surnamed Naluo to hide in the ground, leaving a small part to deal with his mother's funeral.
That Tie Guan Li to the seventh day of the evening Yuan Shen returned to the stalagmite mountain, just arrived at the stalagmite mountain above the smell of roast meat, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, the Yuan Shen immediately floated to the platform, he fixed his eyes and saw that as he expected, his body has been incinerated, only a charred body was left on the platform, was palpitating, suddenly saw a beggar not far away from the hungry, so he hurriedly attached to the hungry body, he got up and suddenly found that the starving man was a lame, was about to leave, suddenly heard the top of the stalagmite mountain from the Taishang Laojun's reprimand: "This is the will of God, and it must not be violated." Taishang Laojun appeared and said: "The Tao should be sought outside the appearance, not just the appearance. As long as you are successful in your deeds, you will be a true immortal in different phases." This preaching made Li Xuan finally accept this body, so Taishang Laojun gave him a golden hoop to tie his messy hair, gave Li Xuantie a cane and a wine jug, and extradited Li Xuancheng to become an immortal. He rubbed his eyes with both hands, and rubbed the eye sockets like two big holes, so he called himself Li Kongmu, and people often ignored his characteristic and only paid attention to the crutches, so they called him Tie Guan Li.
"Oh--, this is the path to becoming an immortal, then I wrote it down!" Ape Star replied.
"I'll tell you some good things about Tie Guan Li's life to help others, maybe you can use it!" So Yao Ji told a lot of good things about Tie Guan Li, and Ape Xing also wrote them down one by one.
Have you written any of that?" Yao Ji asked.
"Written down!" Ape Star said respectfully.
"Okay, next is Han Zhongli......" Yao Ji continued.
When Zhong Liquan was born, it is said that there was a giant who strode into his mother's inner chamber, Ziyun "I am the ancient Huang Shen, when I was born here", and suddenly "saw a strange light like a fire", a great immortal was born! This great immortal was born, just like three years old, as big as a child, born with a blessed appearance: the top is round and the forehead is wide, the ears are thick and the eyebrows are long, the eyes are deep and the nose is shrugged, the mouth and cheeks are big, the lips and face are like Dan, and the breasts are far away and the buttocks are long", what is even rarer is that the child is silent day and night, does not cry or eat, and suddenly said a sentence on the seventh day, and the words are shocking: "The body travels in the Purple Mansion, the famous book Yujing." "Purple Mansion" and "Yujing" are the palace cities of the Jade Emperor, which means that he is a member of the Jade Emperor's immortal class. Because of his "heavy knowledge since childhood", his father named him "Quan".
And Zhong Liquan's matter is still related to Lu Dongbin. Lu Yan, the word Dongbin. At the time of the Zhongjin Sergeant, he was sixty-four years old. This year, I came to Chang'an and met the fairy Zhong Liquan in the inn. As soon as Zhong Liquan saw Lu Yan, he knew that he was an immortal talent that could be created, so he thought of enlightening him. As soon as Lu Dongbin was enlightened, he realized that he was willing to learn the Tao from Zhong Liquan, but Zhong Liquan excused himself: Your immortal bones have not grown, your ambition has not been firm, and if you want to transcend the world, you must be reincarnated for a few more lifetimes. After speaking, he left in a hurry, but Lu Dongbin was not discouraged and resigned to learn the Tao in seclusion. Zhong Liquan then decided to try Lu Dongbin ten times.
One day, Lu Dongbin went out and returned home, but saw that his whole family had died of a sudden illness. Lu Dongbin had already seen through the world, so he didn't mourn, but just bought a coffin to prepare for the body, but the family who died of illness came back to life again. It turned out that this was Zhong Liquan's first test for him.
Lu Dongbin occasionally got some things to sell in the market. The price was negotiated, but the other party accepted the goods but suddenly repented and was only willing to pay half of the price. Lu Dongbin didn't care, he simply didn't take a penny, gave the things to the other party for nothing, and left with a calm face. This is the second test.
On the first day of the first month of the Lunar New Year, a beggar came and leaned on the gate to beg for money, and Lu Dongbin gave it to him. Who knows, the beggar was not greedy enough, and begged for this and that, and gave it slowly, so he scolded loudly. Lu Dongbin not only did not get angry, but repeatedly made good words to accompany him, and the beggar left with a smile. This is the third test.
The fourth time, Lu Dongbin was grazing sheep in the mountains, and suddenly a big tiger ran out and chased the sheep. When Lu Dongbin saw it, he couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly blocked in front of the sheep, willing to feed the tiger himself and save the sheep, but the tiger let him and the sheep go by himself.
The fifth time, Lu Dongbin lived alone in the thatched hut in the mountains to study, suddenly a woman knocked on the door, about seventeen or eighteen years old, very beautiful, she claimed to be going back to her mother's house, missed the road, to spend the night, Lu Dongbin let her into the house to rest. Who knew that this woman became restless in the middle of the night and hooked up with Lu Dongbin in every possible way. Lu Dongbin's heart was like water, and he was not moved by lust at all.
The sixth time, Lu Lu Dongbin went out on a trip to the suburbs, and when he came home, he saw that his home had been burglarized, his soft property was swept away, and his daily life in front of him could not be maintained. Lu Dongbin was not angry or annoyed, he operated the medicine hoe and collected medicine to survive. Who knew that a hoe would go down and dig up dozens of pieces of gold. He hastily covered up the earth and took nothing.
The seventh time, on this day, Lu Dongbin went to the street to buy a few bronze wares, and when he took them back, they were gold, and he hurriedly found the original store and returned the gold wares.
There was a crazy Taoist priest who was selling medicine in the bazaar and said, "If you take my medicine, you will die immediately, but you will be able to attain the Tao in the next life." "Who dares to buy this medicine? So for more than 10 days, no one has patronized it. Lu Dongbin was convinced, bought the medicine back and took it, but fortunately everything was fine. This is the eighth test.
Spring is coming, the spring water is rising, and Lu Dongbin rocks a small boat and walks slowly on the river. When the boat reached the middle of the stream, a strong wind suddenly blew, and the waves were turbulent for a while, and the danger was full of dangers. Dongbin has already investigated life and death, where is he still afraid of the wind and waves? Still sitting on the bow of the boat, let it sway. For a while, the wind was calm, and there was no damage in the slightest. This is the ninth test.
On this day, Lu Dongbin was sitting alone at home, and suddenly saw countless strange ghosts and gods running over, some wanted to catch him, and some wanted to kill him, Lu Dongbin was not afraid. After a while, I saw dozens of yakshas, holding a bloody prisoner, and the man shouted, "I was killed by you in your last life, hurry up and pay for my life!" Lu Dongbin replied: "Killing people pays for life, what is there to excuse?" So he went and took out knives and ropes, and prepared to commit suicide to pay for his life. Suddenly, I heard a shout in the air, and the ghost and god prisoner disappeared at once, and one person applauded and fell, it turned out to be Zhong Liquan.
He said to Lu Dongbin: "The dust heart is hard to destroy, the immortal talent is rare, and my eagerness to seek apprentices is even more than others begging me." If you can withstand the ten tests, you will be able to attain the Tao in the future, and there is no doubt that you will attain the Tao in the future. It's just that your merits and good deeds have not been completed, and you have been taught a yellow and white technique of turning iron into gold and silver, you can use it to help the world and benefit sentient beings, and when the three thousand merits are completed and the eight hundred good deeds are complete, I will make you an immortal again. ”
Lu Dongbin asked, "Will the gold and silver made of the yellow and white technique mutate in the future?" He replied, "After 3,000 years, we still have to restore our essence." Dongbin said: "In this way, this thing will delay people in three thousand years, and I don't want to do it." ”
Zhong Liquan smiled and said, "With your kindness, the 'three thousand' and 'eight hundred' are already inside."
So Zhong Liquan accepted Lu Dongbin as an apprentice, Lu Dongbin was instructed by the master, practiced diligently in Lushan, Zhong Liquan taught him the Dao Tiandun swordsmanship in Lushan, the secret text of the dragon and tiger Jindan, and finally Lu Dongbin finally cultivated into an immortal. After the Zhengyang patriarch awarded Lu Dongbin, he revisited Lushan Mountain and climbed the third-level Red Mansion to rise into the sky.
"This is Zhong Liquan's proudest thing, you have to write it down carefully!" Yao Ji said.
Ape Xing and the others nodded, and continued to listen to what Yao Ji said......
There is an ancient temple on the slope of Caili Mountain, and a long time ago, there was an old monk with three monks in the temple. The youngest monk is called Zhang Guolao, in addition to waiting for the old monks, he also does chores such as chopping wood and carrying water.
One night, Zhang Guo Lao picked up a tank full of water, and the next day, not a drop was used, and there was no water in the tank. The old monk scolded him for being lazy. Zhang Guo didn't know the reason, so he had to fill the tank again. The next day, the tank ran out of water, and the old monk was angry and beat him up. Zhang Guolao felt very aggrieved, surprised in his heart, and determined to find out.
At night, he picked up a tank full of water and hid in the dark to peep. In the middle of the night, two white fat and bare-chested children suddenly ran in from outside the temple, came to the tank, and stuck their heads into the tank to drink water. Zhang Guolao stepped forward to arrest him, but he disappeared in an instant. Guo Lao told the old monk what he had seen. The old monk ordered Zhang Guolao to fill the tank of water and not to make a noise. At night, the old monk took a steel needle, sewed a long velvet thread, and hid it in a dark place not far from the water tank.
Soon, sure enough, two bare-chested children came to the tank to drink water again. The old monk took advantage of their heads into the jar, ran forward, and pierced the steel needle into the child's stomach, only to hear a scream of "wow", and the child disappeared again. The old monk and the old fruit searched along the velvet line, and went to the corner of the outer wall of the temple, and the red line entered the ground. The old monk Ling Guo Lao took a shovel to dig, and as a result, he dug up two things that resembled human bodies. The old monk knew that it was ginseng, so he cooked the fruit and told him that he was not allowed to taste it.
