Chapter Twenty-Four: The Queen Mother of the West and the Peach Fruit

She led them out of the gates of hell and through the Grand Canyon, over the vast forest, up a cliff that reached to the sky, to a peach orchard. Ah, what a beautiful peach forest, far away to see the detailed clouds, thousands of Ruiqi, a peaceful scene, close to see the fruit forest is oily, lush, full of vitality. The fruit tree bears fruitful peaches, which are so big, so bright, full of spirituality and shining with spiritual light. Some fresh peaches are under the cover of the peach leaves, and they still hold the beauty of the pipa and half covering their faces, giving people reverie and full of romantic interest. Exactly, the huge peach forest is now aura, the fresh peach is still a woman's red makeup, the long and narrow green leaves cover each other, so the psychic world is unparalleled, the monkey comes here to see the peach forest, eats the peach sleepy lying on the tree, the wonders of the world are now nothing, and the paradise is in heaven.

On the periphery of the huge peach forest, they saw a monster patrolling back and forth to take care of the peach orchard. It has a tall body like a giant, holding a shield in its left hand and a spear in its right hand, its eyes are bulging, revealing a fierce light, majestic, murderous, vicious, so peculiar, and its face is even more vicious, a pair of teeth are particularly long, and especially sharp, like a chisel, it actually penetrates his chin and stretches out, it is by no means a human beast, it is daunting, and it shudders.

Liu Changsheng instructed Zheng Ming and Luosang to be extra careful, looking at his fierce appearance, fierce and violent, coupled with his tall figure, he must have extraordinary divine power, listening to the sound of his feet when he walked, it must be infinitely powerful, with the power to pull out the mountain, and the momentum of the mountains and rivers, even if the three of us are united, I am afraid that it is not its opponent, so he asked Xiujuan: "What is this place? What is the name of that monster?"

Xiujuan said: "This is the peach orchard of the Queen Mother of the West, the peach orchard is planted with" tree of life ", every 3000 years can grow on behalf of the immortal peach fruit, who has the fate to get it, it will have the effect of resurrecting the dead, not to mention who eats this peach fruit can prolong life, is the fate to be able to ** this peach pit, you can strengthen the body, enhance your strength, it can be seen that this peach fruit is difficult to find, people who have no fate want to be able to eat this fresh peach fruit, just like looking at the plum to quench thirst, wishful thinking.

"You see, the monster was called Chisel because of its long, sharp teeth like chisels, which pierced its jaw and exposed its lips, and so it was called Chiseltooth, and it was said that it was a monster or giant that once inhabited the swamps of southern China. At that time, he was fierce and fierce, dominating one side, doing all kinds of evil, preying on human beings, mutilating living beings, making living beings miserable, and the people were uneasy, and the common people were afraid of obscenity, so they left their hometowns to flee for their lives, mourned and wept all over the wilderness, and were angry and told the king that they wanted to send people down to investigate the people's feelings. The Yellow Emperor sent people to find out that this was the case, and he was furious, so he ordered Hou Yi to go to the crusade.

"The two phases set up the battlefield, one back and forth, one rushed and one blocked, only to kill the sky and the earth, the sun and the moon were dark, the blood flowed like a river, and the chiseled teeth were finally defeated by Houyi, and Kunlun Mountain was defeated. Hou Yi eliminated harm for the people, how could he allow it to escape, so he chased after it, caught up with the chisel tooth in Kunlun Mountain, and bent his bow and arrows to shoot it. The merciful and compassionate Queen Mother of the West is based on love, in order to persuade him to change from evil to good, surpass his soul, let him cultivate his true nature in front of him, purify his soul, worship and participate in Zen, and become a new person. In order to thank the Queen Mother of the West for her good life, he gave him a chance to change his former life and become a new person, so he returned to her disciples for her drive. When the Queen Mother of the West saw that he had changed his mind, put down the butcher's knife, and had the heart to become a Buddha, she ordered him to take care of her Pan Taoyuan here. ”

Liu Changsheng said: "The Queen Mother of the West in ancient legends has a leopard tail and tiger teeth, a fierce face, and a cloak of hair. Is it true that she is in charge of disasters and punishments, and that she can also kill human beings?"

Xiujuan said: "The sphinx in front of the pyramids in Egypt is not a composite of man and beast? From this point of view, everything has a dual nature, there is both contradictory opposition and contradictory unity, why is the progress of mankind always manifested itself in the paradoxical process of the entanglement of truth and falsehood, good and evil, beauty and ugliness, women and men? As far as vampires are concerned, are there still us vampire hunters to contend with their vampires? That is to say, without mountains, there can be no flat land, and in comparison, it can be seen who is good and who is evil, dwarfed by comparison.

"It is also said that the Queen Mother of the West refers to Kunlun Mountain, and the peach tree in the orchard of the Queen Mother of the West is the 'tree of life'. In Chinese mythology, the peach fruit is the equivalent of the apple in the West, the 'food of the gods' and the 'food of immortality' for the gods.

Its essence is to refer to the menstrual blood of women, the sacred blood of all things created by the goddess Taimu in many cultural legends, and the source of the blood of the multiplying race. A sunken groove on the peach is also used as a symbol of the female yin. In Taoism, the peach symbolizes **, but also represents the ** sex of the body fluid, Taoist priests believe that by absorbing the body fluid of women, you can supplement the yang with yin, so that men can prolong life, refresh, strong and healthy.

In the cave where the Queen Mother of the West lived, she sat on a high altar and held a huge peach in her hand, which means the creation of human beings, with the human Bai Zehu lying at her feet, and the three-legged bird standing behind her, which was the spirit of the ancient Chinese sun god and was also regarded as the messenger of the sun. According to ancient Chinese legends, the sun god had ten sons, both three-legged birds, because people worship the sun god and thank him for sending people sunshine and warmth, sending abundant grains and abundant food and clothing, so as the son of the sun god, the three-legged bird is also worshipped as a symbol of auspiciousness.

At that time, the sun god ordered his ten sons to take turns to be on duty for him, one son for a day, every day to be loyal to his duties, send the sun to the earth, to send warmth to the world, because the ten sons were playful, gradually unruly, put their father's words behind them, not on the duty in turn, and all of them appeared in the sky, causing the earth to suffer from drought and heat, causing the earth to crack, the grain was not harvested, the river water was cut off, the well water was dry, the red land was uninhabited for thousands of miles, and the mourning was all over the field to ask for the sky, to expel the drought and rain and dew, and to return the rain and dew to the sunny day. Emperor Yao was sympathetic to the suffering of the people, and was very annoyed by the sun god's connivance with his son's unscrupulous behavior, so he ordered Hou Yi to shoot all the three-legged birds to vent the anger of the people.

"The Queen Mother of the West is compassionate, and it is really unbearable to pity the ten sons of the Sun God to be shot to death, saying that if the Sun God can't move, the world still needs the warmth of the sun, and the people in the world can not be allowed to be in the dark, in order to leave a successor to the Sun God, she sent her subordinates to quietly steal a divine arrow from Hou Yi's quiver, causing Hou Yi to shoot nine three-legged birds, and the remaining three-legged bird was so frightened that it fell on Kunlun Mountain and hid behind the Queen Mother of the West.

"Because the three-legged bird was overly frightened, it could not send out the sun, and it became a blue bird, and in order to thank the Queen Mother of the West for saving her life, it served the Queen Mother of the West full-time. Because Kunlun is in Ruoshui, it cannot be reached without a dragon, and there are blue birds for the Queen Mother of the West to eat. The sun god lost his son, so he had to perform the task of going out early and returning late to transmit the sun to the earth.

"According to the love, respect and piety of the Queen Mother in the world, she is not only molded into the perfect sign of women, but also sits on the lotus flower with kind eyebrows and good intentions, focuses on the suffering of the people with great compassion, and becomes the embodiment of all sentient beings. Some people molded into a golden body, praising the queen mother: go to the golden boy in the world to lead the way, and drive the auspicious cloud and jade girl with you. Regard the people to investigate the suffering, and extend a noble hand to the good people. Since the Queen Mother is the embodiment of beauty, with compassion as the embrace, in order to bring your son back to life and return to the world, there is no other way, only to carry the Queen Mother of the West to this peach orchard to secretly pick peaches, in order to bring your son back to life, only this trick.

"If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, I think the Queen Mother of the West will know that I did it, and will punish me, in order to save your son, I don't care, I am willing to accept the punishment willingly, and I have no remorse. Since I have died once for you, and it is not bad for you to be your son this time, although the Queen Mother of the West is angry with me, and thinks that I have followed her in the saddle and the horse to serve her, there is no merit and hard work, maybe she will take me as an example, and let me go, because she is a god of justice who distinguishes between good and evil, and has feelings. ”

Changsheng held her hand affectionately, and said movingly: "Thank you! Thank you! You have no complaints about blocking the gun for me, and you have always taken your heart for me when you hunt blood, and saved me from danger everywhere. But the monster is so loyal and well-guarded, how can we get in?"

Xiujuan said: "Although the chiseltooth monster is tall and powerful, and has a brutal temperament, it is simple-minded and easy to deal with. You can lure him out, don't go head-to-head with it, lure it east, there is a small cave not far in front of it, just enough to hide the two of them from it. Even if the chisel chased him to the entrance of the cave, he couldn't help it, because it was too tall and too big to enter the cave, so he could only roar at the entrance of the cave. The two of us could take this opportunity to enter the peach orchard, and when it returned, we would have already picked the peaches. ”

The plan stopped, Zheng Ming and Lausanne waited for him and her to hide, and then they showed themselves in the bright place, luring the chisel teeth to approach, and one left and one right formed a pincer attack on the chisel teeth. Seeing that someone was coming to steal the immortal peach, Chisetooth roared angrily and slaughtered Zheng Ming. Lausanne saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and it was a kick to hit the chiseled ass. The chisel didn't hit Zheng Ming, and Zheng Ming dodged it, but was kicked by Lausanne, who caught up from behind, and hurriedly turned around and threw himself at Lausanne. Zheng Ming took the opportunity to pounce from behind him, and kicked the chiseled waist fiercely.

The chisel was restrained in front and back, and it was difficult to care about the end of the head, and it was so anxious that it jumped like thunder, and struck in a circle with a spear in hand. Zheng Ming and Lausanne saw that they were completely enraged, greeted each other, and sprinted east together. The chisel could not allow them to escape, so they swung their spears and chased forward frantically......
