Chapter 52: Departure
Hehe, the old man who cultivated immortals smiled: "Little brother, it's really not simple...... When he opened his mouth, he told Emperor Donghua about the past and present life, the ins and outs, and the words were not leaky, which is really admirable! But remember, there are some things, although they are recorded, but they are superficial, and they are just exaggerated after all......"
For example, although the "Han Shang Fang Mirror Inscription" once had its name, there was no record of deeds, and the earliest person who remembered it was "The Divine Strange Scripture". This book was written under the name of Han Dongfang Shuo. Volume 142 of the "General Catalogue of the Four Libraries": "This book is not contained in Liu Xiang's "Seven Strategies", so it is relied on, and there is no doubt about it. ”
Zhang Hua's biography in the Book of Jin also does not have a note on the text of the "Divine Strange Sutra", so the annotation of the book also seems to be a pretense. (Chen) Zhensun is suspicious, and sincerity is insightful. However, the "Sui Zhi" contains this book, which has been said to be written by Dongfang Shuo, and Zhang Hua's note, so its pseudo is before the Sui Dynasty.
I look at its words are gorgeous and beautiful, close to Qi Liang, when it was written by the scribes of the Six Dynasties, and the records of "Cave Underworld" and "Gleaning" have been published one after another. This book imitates the style of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and is divided into nine articles, including "The Classic of the Eastern Wilderness" and "The Classic of the Southeast Wilderness......
Its "Eastern Wilderness Classic" cloud: "There is a large stone room in the Eastern Wilderness Mountain, and the Eastern Princes live in Yan. It is one zhang long, with white hair, a humanoid bird face and a tiger tail, carrying a black bear, looking left and right. Heng and a jade girl throw pots, each one thousand two hundred corrections, with people who enter and exit, the sky is for it? Shhh ”
"Cloud", the mountain of Kunlun, there is a copper pillar, which is high into the sky, and the so-called heavenly pillar is also. Circumference of three thousand miles, the surrounding is like cutting. There is a stone room below, a hundred zhang squarely, and the immortals rule the nine mansions. There is a big bird on it, the name is Xiyou, southward, Zhang left wing covers the prince of the east, and the right wing covers the queen mother of the west. There is no feather on the back, 19,000 miles. The Queen Mother of the West ascended the wings, and the Princes of the East were also.
The appearance of the name "Eastern Prince" may be closely related to the traditional culture of the East. That's because according to the Chinese concept of yin and yang and the five elements, if there is a yin god, there must be a yang god. The goddess is called the Queen Mother of the West, and the West belongs to gold, also known as the Golden Mother; On the other hand, the male god should be called the prince of the east, and the east belongs to the wood, so it is also called the wood prince.
Under the domination of this cultural consciousness, the relative god of the Queen Mother of the West, the Prince of the East, appeared.
From then on, all the books describing the Queen Mother of the West must mention the Prince of the East accordingly, and often put him before the Queen Mother of the West.
"Okay, don't talk about it, whether it's a mortal or an immortal, Emperor Donghua is just a false name in the end...... The road to becoming an immortal is so long and long, and going home is the right thing! ”
Bian Xi, hearing this, suddenly felt as if he had a feeling of getting an axe in the class, and it seemed that his cultivation was really not half a star worse than the old man in front of him...... Thinking of this, in an instant, he became red-faced, and instantly became silent!
Jiu Gong looked at the two people in front of him, asked and answered, and made a judgment, so he touched his goatee and smiled without saying a word...... And Hong'er was very interested, and continued to surround the old man who cultivated immortals, pestering him to tell some other mythological stories!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed......
On this day, at the foot of the abbot mountain, next to the big pool, not far from the sea, on the black building boat on the island, the flag was waved, and the horn sounded again......
Chenshi (auspicious day of the zodiac), the value of the gods, the jade hall, suitable for travel...... Jiugong, Bian Xi, Hong'er, and the rest of the people waited, standing at the bow of the ship, as if they were waving goodbye to someone!
"Fairy Grandpa, I will miss you, we will meet again in the future...... A little girl in red clothes and a white cat in her arms suddenly turned around and ran to the top platform of the building ship behind her, stood at the highest position of the hull, and shouted loudly in the direction of Abbot Mountain. ”
The sea breeze blew up the long black hair, and the waves shattered the reluctant sound. On the top of the ship, on the platform, there is a person, a cat, a touch of red, and the clothes dance with the wind......
At this moment, she was standing in the place where she was about to sail, still looking persistently, the sky seemed to be raining, and she let her tears break through the sky...... Eventually, the building boat drifted away and gradually shrunk into a black spot!
The wind is blowing, and the old man who cultivates immortals, holding the dust, is still like a fairy wind, standing on the cliff boulder of Abbot Mountain. He didn't know what was wrong with him? Why do you stand here with the same persistence, is this the complex emotions of human beings in the legend?
A little girl who has never known her life is like an old friend who is about to part. A "Grandpa Fairy, I will miss your ......" made his heart ripple instantly!
So, following the example of a little girl, he raised his arms vigorously and waved his hand vigorously...... The wind also blew his beard and hair white!
That's it...... Everyone drove the black building boat, left Abbot Mountain, and also bypassed Penglai and Yingzhou two islands in the Three Immortals Island, and they went all the way to the north, towards the North Sea, the polar night, and the polar day!
