Chapter 10: The Legend of the Fairy Moon
Chong Xue and the two talked and laughed along the lakeside, and came to the local famous Xianyue Tower. But seeing that the fairy moon tower is built in the water, containing mountains and water, swallowing the world and the earth, it is really a place with excellent scenery. The two came to the second floor, chose a private room by the lake, ordered two cups of tea, and drank slowly while looking at the scenery outside the window.
Han Xue said: "The scenery of Xianyue Lake is pleasant, and the name is also good, as if there is an ancient legend. ”
Ye Chong said: "This Xianyue Tower was rebuilt twenty years ago in imitation of the old system, in fact, it is a fake antique, but its artistic conception is lofty, magnificent, and it can catch up with Yueyang Tower." 'Wu Chu is in the southeast, the sun and the moon are floating', Du Fu's poem chanting Dongting Lake is placed on Xianyue Lake, but it can also be made. ”
Han Xue smiled: "Yo, it seems that you have great respect for this copycat version of Xianyue Tower!"
Ye Chong smiled: "Of course, how can I say that this is also the first floor of my hometown!" After that, he laughed out loud, and then said: "As for the legend, there is indeed a paragraph, this legend can be traced back to the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the most recent is only twenty years ago. ”
As soon as Han Xue heard the word legend, she immediately became interested, and her eyes widened and said, "The time span is so big? ”
After Ye Chong finished speaking, his heart also jumped, and he said secretly: "Yes, why is the time span of this legend so large?" pondered slightly: "Xue'er, do you know what Yunze County was called in the Sui and Tang dynasties?"
Han Xue shook her head.
Ye Chong said: "At that time, Yunze County was under the jurisdiction of Weizhou and was called Tongshan. At that time, Li Mi was ordered to suppress the rebel general Yu Wenhua, and the troops were here, and the battle lasted for several days, and he did not succeed for a long time, and he saw that the food and grass were not enough, and his heart was very disturbed. When the army was suspended at night, he led the generals around him to kill pigs and sheep, and went to our Xianyue Lake to worship heaven and earth, in order to help God. ”
"It's just that at that time, this lake was not called Xianyue Lake, but Yunze Lake, from which the name of Yunze County came from. At the time of worship, suddenly the white waves were raging, and the storm was raging, and everyone was shocked. After the storm, a crescent moon in the sky gradually expanded, like a small boat breaking through the clouds. When they got closer, a man suddenly jumped on the silver hook. The man was of medium height, with a bare beard, a leather bag, and a rough look. ”
Li Mi and all the generals were shocked as gods and knelt down to the ground. The man did not answer, but took out the dagger from his waist, cut the flesh and drank it. After eating, he said to Li Mi: "Don't worry, general, Yuwen's father and brother, and by Sui En, rich and noble, and Mo Er." However, the Lord is immoral, and he cannot die to admonish, but instead acts in rebellion, and wants to usurp the rules. If you don't chase Zhuge Zhan's loyalty, it is for Huo Yu's evil rebellion, which is intolerable in heaven and earth, and will soon be defeated by the general and killed by the Dou family. ’”
Speaking of this, Ye Chong paused and said: "This passage is engraved on the stone tablet in front of the gate of Xianyue Tower, which is a genuine Sui and Tang Dynasty monument. "Zizhi Tongjian" records that when Li Mi fought against Yu Culture and Yu Qingqi, he counted his crimes across the river, which is also this paragraph, but there is a slight discrepancy with the inscription, missing the sentence "soon he will be defeated by the general and captured and killed by the Dou clan". It was expected that Li Mi was in a disadvantageous military situation at that time, although he worshipped the bearded guest like a god, but he didn't dare to believe that Yu Wenhua would eventually be killed by Dou Jiande, or he was afraid that he would leak the heavenly secret and be jealous of the gods, so he kept this sentence a secret. ”
Han Xue smiled: "Do you really believe in this legend?"
Ye Chong said: "Originally, I didn't believe it, but just now after you reminded me, I found that this legend has spanned 1,300 years over and over again, which is very unusual." ”
Han Xue said: "What does that mean?"
Ye Chong said: "It's that this legend always recurs, and every once in a while there are immortals who ride the moon down, and it seems to be mentioned in the wild history of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties." ”
The more Han Xue listened, the more interested she became, and she couldn't help but lean closer to Ye Chong's side again, and said, "Tell me quickly, what happened?"
Ye Chong continued: "That bearded man took out something from the leather bag, and with a wave of his hand, it turned into a lame and weak donkey. Before Li Mi could ask again, the man had already left on a donkey. Later, Yu Wenhua was defeated by Li Mi and was finally captured and killed by Dou Jiande. Li Mi thanked the immortals for their kindness, changed the name of Yunze Lake to Xianyue Lake, and built this Xianyue Tower by the lake. ”
Han Xue listened leisurely and muttered: "This red-haired man is like a bearded guest in the Three Heroes of Wind and Dust." ”
Ye Chong nodded and said, "It's indeed a little godlike." ”
Han Xue said: "It is said that this bearded man later traveled to Fusang and became the monarch of Japan, but he is also a big character, but in this way, he is inevitably confined to the form, and he lacks the legendary rough and free air, which seems to be a fly in the ointment." ”
Ye Chong's heart moved, and he held Han Xue's hand and praised loudly: "My good Xue'er, you are really Bingxue smart, I often think of this paragraph vaguely in my heart, but I have never announced it as clearly as you." ”
Han Xue smiled and said, "Are you making a big fuss?"
Ye Chong hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare." As he spoke, he looked at Han Xue with a wicked smile.
Han Xue thought of the matter of hanging the jade pond and pulling Ye Chong's ears, and couldn't help but blush, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Quick, if there are any other legends, tell me quickly." ”
Ye Chong said: "The other legends are the same, much the same, and there is nothing to say. ”
Han Xue pouted, "I thought there was a good story again?"
Ye Chong scratched Han Xue's nose and said with a smile: "Look at your disappointed look." ”
Han Xue glanced at Ye Chong and said, "What, is it so ugly?"
Ye Chong said: "Ugly is not ugly, but there are some ......"
Han Xue said angrily: "Okay, you don't like me now?"
Ye Chong wanted to say "ugly", but seeing his coquettish and gratifying appearance, he couldn't help but change his words: "...... It's just a little cute, it's savage and cute. ”
Han Xue snorted and said, "Do you think I don't know what you want to say?" I'll spare you today, tell me quickly, what other good stories are there?"
Ye Chong pondered for a while and said: "Regarding this legend, the wild history of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties is generally similar, but the immortals who came down are different, some are Lingbo fairies, some are crane boys, some are white-haired fairies, some are short-haired shepherd boys, and so on. But the account is too rough and not very interesting. Only 20 years ago, what happened to Mr. Lai, a newcomer to our village, was truly detailed and fantastical. ”
