15. Seeking immortals, three mountains and five mountains
Immortal.
Boss Wang also wants to be a fairy.
Although his current means can be called immortals.
But this immortal was not cultivated by him, and it is not reliable.
Boss Wang wants to be an immortal, the kind who is at ease, but now he is like an immortal on the god list, and the freedom of life and death does not belong to him.
No one wants to be on the god list and be a person who listens to the dispatch, no matter how comfortable a person is, it is difficult for him to endure life and death in the hands of others.
Of course, there is no shortage of Boss Wang's curiosity, in addition to him, is there any god in this world?
When he rescued Yuan Zhou's parents, he had seen with his own eyes the place where the dead man was, and he had also seen the big golden bald head. That big bald head, should it be a fairy? Perhaps, is his name Jizo?
In this world, are there still immortal traces?
Therefore, Boss Wang wants to find immortals.
The fairy trail is ethereal, empty and traceless.
Fortunately, he got his hands on something that was by no means ordinary—the Jade Dragon Cauldron.
This pot may have something to do with the gods and goddesses circulating in the world.
It's a pity that for Boss Wang, this pot can only be an object that proves that the fairy trail once existed.
Because, except for the name of the pot, he doesn't know anything else.
Yuan Zhou once told him part of the origin of this pot.
The ancestors had a royal kitchen, which was used by the imperial kitchen, so it was regarded as a family heirloom.
That's all.
Who is the imperial chef, and he doesn't have a surname.
The ancestor used to be an imperial chef, and for ordinary people, of course, it was not a simple life experience.
The imperial chef is indeed not a third-rate character who can mix.
However, the pot used by the imperial kitchen can make a dish and increase the life span for 3 years?
This pot was used by the imperial chef and is part of its origin, but it is not the most important one.
Obviously, the real origin of this pot has been lost in word of mouth.
So for Boss Wang's search for the fairy trail, it doesn't have much effect.
Boss Wang took it with him, thinking that fetishes are always extraordinary in novels, and maybe when they get to the right place, the treasures will be sensitive.
He actually has a way to get clear clues.
"Exchange".
Q: Don't you know about the exchange?
But Boss Wang has speculated about the essence of the exchange, please see Chapter 11 of the first volume for details, and I won't count the words here.
For those reasons, he can try not to trade with the exchange.
And... If the exchange knew, did it mean that the immortal who made the Jade Dragon Cauldron would not be able to change his current situation?
So Boss Wang didn't want to ask the exchange even more.
So what to do?
Let's thank the brilliance of the myth after the verifiable prosperity of science and technology.
Let's also thank humanity for documenting civilization.
If in ancient times, a person wanted to find something, and the person who had the ability to find it and the most capable person was undoubtedly the emperor.
But in modern times, the ten degrees have appeared, Sister Gu has appeared, and people can easily get most of the information they want.
Huaguo, known as the upper and lower 5,000 years, has myths and stories under the records of predecessors, including the beginning of heaven and earth.
And these myths and stories are the only clues for Boss Wang to find immortals.
Boss Wang searched for "Taoist Famous Mountain" and "Buddhist Famous Mountain" on the computer, and in addition, he also searched for some mountains that are quite respected by ordinary people.
Searching for Taoism and Buddhism is naturally because, in the eyes of ordinary people, these people are the closest to immortals.
Boss Wang has practiced Buddha for a while. Although the time is very short, when he recites the scriptures with sincerity and dedication, there is indeed a strange feeling.
See how I feel.
It felt strange, unreal, unreal.
That feeling doesn't happen every time, because he doesn't always recite the sutras with sincerity and dedication.
But coupled with the rumors of the senior brothers and elders who cultivated Buddhism, as well as the "glowing big bald head" he saw there, he felt that it was reliable to go to the Buddha's house to find the fairy trace.
And Taoism and Buddhism are equally famous, and there are strange people such as Zhang Sanfeng and Chen Tuan, and I want to come too.
As for the famous rivers and mountains that are admired by the world, there is nothing to say.
The famous rivers and mountains that have been handed down today, in addition to the infinitely good scenery, also involve the metaphysics of feng shui.
Although there are words to describe the masses as "the crowd is the same", there are also common sayings such as "the eyes of the masses are bright".
Besides, there are no clues, so naturally no clues can be placed.
searched, probably after reading it, Boss Wang traveled lightly.
His first goal was "Three Mountains and Five Mountains".
"Three Mountains and Five Mountains" is a commonly used idiom that refers to famous mountains or places. But there are also actual locations in the three mountains and five mountains.
Let's talk about Wuyue first.
Thanks to a generation of martial arts novels, when it comes to Wuyue, we can all be familiar with it: Dongyue Tai SX Yue Hua Mountain, Zhong Yue Song Mountain, South Yue Heng Mountain, North Yue Heng Mountain.
Then, think about it for a moment.
Why are the five peaks called "five mountains"?
What is the difference between "Yue" and "Mountain"? Is it different from "peak"?
There are already "mountains" and "peaks", why do you have a "Yue"?
The Chinese language is broad and profound, although it is not as good as the past, but as long as we do not treat our ancestors as stupid forks.
Mountain is the name given to the towering part of the land that is made of earth and rock.
Peaks are high and pointed mountains.
Yue refers to a tall mountain.
Mountains, for people, are there not high? So, being tall is a feeling.
Then there is an honorific title for the mountain.
Huaguo is vast and rich, and there are many famous mountains and rivers, but there are only five called Yue.
However, the meaning of "Yue" is understood, and who is the "Yue" judged?
The main thing is the emperor.
The feudal dynasty was centralized and centralized in one person.
When you are an emperor, you have to lead so many people, which is a headache.
We now know that the emperor always tried his best to convince the masses that his rights were legitimized.
The emperor proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, the embodiment of the most noble dragon, as well as the heirloom jade seal, the heavenly grant of monarchy, and so on.
These methods are all in order to legitimize their own status.
In order to legitimize his rights, Wu Zetian claimed to be a descendant of the Zhou Dynasty, and when he was in power, the country name was changed to Zhou.
Wuyue, in fact, is also such a product.
In history, there was "Five Virtues Always Said", which said that the change of dynasties is the result of the transformation of wood, fire, earth, gold and water in the world.
Your dynasty is carrying wood virtue and prospering, according to this statement, the next thing is for me, the person who bears fire virtue, to change the dynasty.
This doctrine, at the time, was useful to rulers. For the common people, it is also very open.
After the founding emperor fought the world, everyone was not convinced, then I said, the five elements of the world are running, and it is my turn at this time, everyone has points in their hearts, don't do anything more.
Then everyone said: Well, okay, when it's the next turn, I'll kill you again!
As a result, this also became one of the means by which the emperor legitimized his position.
However, in addition to the five elements and dragons, there is also a "middle" in the status of rulers in ancient times.
Huaguo, since ancient times, has the habit of respecting "China". Therefore, I also feel that the ruler should stay in the "middle" of the world.
Let's open the map of the ten degrees and find out what is surrounded by Mount Tai, Mount Hua, Mount Heng, Mount Song, and Mount Heng, which are connected together?
Central Plains.
The Central Plains is precisely in the middle of China.
Moreover, it is very mysterious that the Central Plains, since ancient times, has produced the most emperors, so the imperial capital has also been built the most.
Moreover, these imperial capitals are all within the scope of Wuyue.
The formation of the Five Peaks is partly due to the ruling class, so the Five Peaks also represent the five virtues of the world.
The Central Plains is surrounded by five mountains, gold, wood, water, fire and earth are complete, endless, and it is in line with the dynasty for all generations!
Therefore, in all dynasties, the location of the imperial capital has also become very important.
Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the original capital was in Datong, and in order to solve this problem, he moved the capital from Datong to Luoyang.
The Five Mountains were in the service of the emperor's stable rule.
Therefore, there have been changes in the five peaks over the years.
Now our Beiyue is Heng Mountain, but in the past, it was Damao Mountain, Hunyuan Mountain, and maybe other mountains.
The above-mentioned changes in the Beiyue were made by the Qing Dynasty in order to include today's Kyoto in the range of the Five Mountains.
The change in the location of the five peaks naturally expanded the scope of the five peaks.
However, when this location arrived in Kangxi, he felt that it was still not ideal, because Kyoto was located in the southwest of Hunyuan, let alone within the range of Wuyue.
If you want me to say, Kangxi did this at this time, probably to seek more peace of mind, after all, there are too many people.
Kangxi went to Mount Tai twice, and then wrote "Mount Tai Mountains from Changbai Mountain"
The title is obvious and easy to understand.
Well, Mount Tai is connected to Changbai Mountain, and the range is to the northeast of Huaguo, and the range of the five mountains naturally includes Kyoto.
Not to mention the fact that the emperors of previous dynasties changed the Wuyue, but the Central Plains, which is surrounded by the Wuyue, is indeed the place where the most emperors have been produced in Huaguo in the past 5,000 years.
Let's talk about the three mountains, the three mountains generally refer to the Yellow Mountain, the Lu Mountain, and the Yandang Mountain. But it is also said that it refers to the legendary Penglai, abbot, and Yingzhou.
We will wait for Boss Wang to go and talk about these mountains in detail.
The first mountain selected by Wang Hui is Zhongyue Song Mountain.
Boss Wang got off the plane, passed through the special passage, and saw a person holding a sign from a distance that said "Welcome Wang Hui to Shaolin Temple to ask Buddha".
Wang Hui smiled when he saw this, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "You are Xiao Fang?" ”
The man nodded nervously.
Xiao Fang's name is Fang Datong, and he is a lay disciple of Shaolin.
When it comes to Songshan, everyone's first impression is Shaolin Temple.
To explore Songshan, Wang Hui does plan to go to some places that no one has ever been, but in Songshan, who is familiar with the people of Shaolin Temple?
What, you're a local?
Cut! The monks of Shaolin Temple have been locals for thousands of years, okay? (#‵′) convex
So Wang Hui mobilized some financial resources, and then learned that Fang Datong's master was a good monk, so he first took Fang Datong's line.
Although Fang Datong is only a lay disciple of Shaolin, it is different from those "Shaolin martial arts schools" or something, he really worshiped the monks in the Shaolin Temple as a master. And now, he has been in the Shaolin Temple for five years.
Fang Datong entered the Shaolin Temple at the age of nineteen, so he is not good at socializing, while Boss Wang is extroverted. After a hot chat, Boss Wang knew from him who his master was, and he was a few of his disciples.
