Chapter 38 Borrow a river from the sky to destroy the demon Hu monk
Ziwei, the five elements belong to the earth, it is the star of Zhongtian, the north and south dipper, the emperor seat, and the lord of the official. Si Du pulse, take the hexagram as the stem. The Lord is honored. The name is Emperor Star, and its nature is also like an emperor.
A generation of empress Wu Zetian dominates the world, she ascends to the top of the world as a woman, such achievements are absolutely unprecedented, shocking the world. In order to highlight her status, the empress ordered someone to build a palace for herself in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and the name of the palace was obtained from the emperor star "Ziwei"!
"The Son of Peace sits in the middle, and the prudent officials are divided all over the world."
At this time, the person who lived in this "Ziwei Palace" with the same name as the Heavenly Palace was An Lushan, who proclaimed himself the Emperor of Dayan. Just a few days before the battle of Lingbao outside Tongguan City, An Lushan sent people to call all the people in the original Luoyang Taishi Bureau, and he ordered these people to use celestial magic to deduce the good luck and evil of the battle of Tongguan and predict the future trend.
These people were afraid of An Lushan's obscenity, so they could only obediently obey, and the person who was the leader was named Chang Zhiman, and everyone looked forward to him. When An Lushan saw this person for the first time, he thought he was a juggler again, and after confirming it again and again, he reluctantly believed that An Lushan really couldn't understand that such an unbearable person was actually the leader of the Luoyang Taishi Bureau. Why are you, all because of this, life is only two feet or two, round and bloated, funny, a dwarf, such an appearance, no wonder An Lushan thinks he is like a harlequin in the troupe.
It's just that although this person was born with a strange figure and appearance, his background and skills are very big. Don't look at him ugly, his master is a well-known Ye Jingneng! The three giants of the Tang royal family, "Shuangye Yiluo", this person's master is Ye Jingneng, one of the Shuangye. As the protector of the country with the highest combat effectiveness in the Tang Dynasty, his skills as his apprentice are naturally not much worse.
As a disciple of the immortals, he has experienced a lot of miraculous things, and in the past ten years, there has been an interesting incident.
It is said that there was a king of Ruyang in the Tang Dynasty, who was the eldest grandson of Ruizong Li Dan and the eldest son of Emperor Li Xian, and was one of the famous "Eight Immortals in Drinking" at that time.
This person's royal bloodline, national surname, name Jin Zi Gong, nickname Huanu, this prince has a beautiful appearance, elegant music, bright posture, thin muscles, excellent facial features, eyebrows and eyes, sword eyebrows and stars are like jade Such words are not enough to describe, when he was young, some people jokingly called him "the first young man in Beijing", as the years go by, this former "first young man in Beijing" has been touted and recognized by more and more people, and it can be regarded as the "first beautiful man" in the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years.
At that time, there were many handsome people who enjoyed a reputation in the world, Wang Wei, Helan Jinming, Gao Xianzhi, Guo Ziyi, Zhang Jiazhen, including Li Longji himself, just talking about appearance and appearance, it was not good, and the only one who could compare with this Ruyang King was the former prime minister Xiao Song. He also got a lot of nicknames because of this, and Li Bai jokingly called him "Flower Slave" and "King of Brewing". This is the most beautiful man in the world and is good at bows and arrows and drums, and he is deeply loved by Tang Xuanzong. After that, he was canonized as the king of Ruyang County, and he was relocated to the Taifu Qing and Zhengren and Tejin.
He was a very fond of drinking, and when he woke up, he began to drink, and he slept in wine, and often drank all day without getting drunk, and every time a guest came, he drank from the morning banquet to the evening. Once it happened that Ye Jing could come to him, and the king of Ruyang forced him to drink together, Ye Jing could refuse, and he was afraid of making the prince unhappy, so he proposed:
"A certain disciple has a lifetime, and the amount of alcohol can be a king drinker. However, although there are dwarfs, there are also excellent people. Tomorrow the king will be spoken, and the king will try to speak with him. ”
The next morning, someone in the Ruyang palace sent a famous post, claiming to be: "Taoist priests are often full." "The king of Ruyang sent someone to invite him in. Seeing that this person is only two feet tall, his appearance is quite ordinary, he is wearing a Taoist robe, and his appearance is really funny and unbearable, but because of his teacher's face, he can only arrange to sit. The two talked during the banquet, and at first they only exchanged polite greetings, and after three rounds of drinking, they slowly got up as they wanted. King Ruyang himself is extraordinary, he from the embryo to the beginning of the opening of the Dao world, the avenue of reincarnation of the universe thousands of talks, and then to the three emperors and five emperors, the rise and fall of the past dynasties, the time of the day, the history of the sub-history, etc., the history is like a finger, the dwarf Taoist priest is also the answer to the flow, although there are not many words, but it is far-reaching and extraordinary, unfathomable, always to the point, often giving people a feeling of seeing the moon through the clouds. It's just that with the in-depth discussion of the avenue of life and other aspects, King Ruyang's insight is not enough. After all, one is on the worldly level, and the other is already beyond the world, so the conversation between the two King Ruyang slowly became stammering, and he began to be a little unable to answer, and after a long time, he became a little bored in his heart. The Taoist priest saw that the prince was not very good at these profound and obscure truths, so he changed his conversation and turned to say some simple, happy and interesting stories about the mountains and wilderness, what is the subjugation of demons and the elimination of demons, and the practice of chivalry. King Ruyang was too interested in this, because of his special identity, he couldn't walk the rivers and lakes at will, so he was particularly interested in listening to these stories of gods and monsters, and asked with high interest:
"Master, once the king entered Beijing, got the grace of His Majesty, to the wine and flowers, His Majesty talked about the master between the wine and food, said that Ye Tianshi Taoist through the gods, a skill through the heavens and the earth, once sword slashed the demon fox, but also defeated the monk to save the dragon god, borrowed a river from the sky, when I first heard this, the king was also amazed, and was fascinated by the means of heaven and man, but he was not allowed to ask His Majesty, today I was fortunate to see the master, I don't know if I can tell the inside one or two, this king is grateful!"
Chang Zhi smiled in his heart, it turned out to be an admirer of a master, these things are not too secretive, there is nothing that cannot be said, and the other party is royal blood, and there will be no chaos when he says it, and he is not acting at the moment, but he just told King Ruyang to retreat from others, and only after no one else was present, he would start talking.
"The prince wants to ask, how dare he not answer. Respect the teacher's ability to go up to the gate of heaven, down to the geography, suddenly to ascend to heaven, must go and go, must come and come. It has the ability to turn the world upside down, and the art of thousands of changes. can refine the Nine Turns Divine Pill, and you have to live forever; Take one pill, the competition is incomparable. The first Taiyi rune can move heaven and earth; I want Wucao to call for a common language. Hu Wuyue is driven by his hands, creation must be moved, and the universe must be stopped, so that luck will be lucky. Pushing the five mountains is to drink the sun and seawater, the time is countercurrent, through the subtle movement, restricting the universe, and no one can accompany within the creation. The ghosts and gods in the world are all recruited by the master, and the gods are all driven by ambush. His Majesty has said that the pure energy of my leaves is unique in the world! ”
Good guy, King Ruyang was stunned when he heard it, listening to the words of this apprentice, his master can not only go to the heavens and enter the earth in a thousand changes, but also practice the elixir, draw a talisman Don't say that the three mountains and five mountains are played with applause, it is the sun in the sky, the sea underground, a shout can also go backwards, and it can drive ghosts and gods, as for the emperor's evaluation that is unique in the world, he has heard it with his own ears, it seems that he has to serve this dwarf well today, and there are many sets of words!
To say that this is a bit exaggerated to praise his master's words, but Ye Jingneng himself is indeed Taoist cultivation and pure emptiness. He has cultivated for nearly a hundred years, and has cultivated many supernatural powers such as invisibility and incarnation, drawing talismans and becoming humans, and he has killed fox demons and dragon emperors, and these things are indeed fake, and it is no wonder that he has won the title of "unique in the world".
Chang Zhiman enjoyed the worship of King Ruyang, and while thanking the prince for toasting himself, he continued to narrate:
"The master is especially good at the method of the talisman, there was a Daluo Heavenly King to test the master's ability, and used his magical power to turn into a river, and the river is five miles wide, and there is no place for bridges and boats to ferry people. The master then wrote a note and threw it into the water, and the river dried up, and the master crossed the river. Another time, we searched for fairy grass to the Qiantang River, and saw that the water was deep and beautiful, and it was vast and unfathomable. The surrounding people persuaded that there was a mirage in the river, and the boats did not dare to cross it. Shizun then drew a talisman, thrown into the river, its river water for three days, drifting its evil mirage on the beach, Shizun can see, at that time pinched the flying sword, instantly cut it into three sections. ”
Chang Zhi talked about the master's great achievements with high spirits, and King Ruyang listened with drooling. My God, if you draw a talisman and throw it into the water, you can dry up a river five miles wide. Another talisman made Qiantang Jiang clear for three days, and the flying sword was unsheathed to easily kill the mirage. The king of Ruyang did not know that the mirage in the Qiantang River had become a fine for hundreds of years, its shape was also like a snake and big, five zhang long, faintly horned like a dragon, red mane, the scales below the waist were all reversed, and the breath could be conjured out of the towers and cities, condensed as true, in which the truth and falsehood could not be argued, as long as it did not receive magical powers, as long as there was rain, it would not dissipate, the mirage, also called the sea market. This evil mirage used such magical powers to travel to and from ships, harming a lot of lives, and the official family sent a lot of warships to take it, and never wanted to be cut into three pieces by that Taoist priest with a flying sword, this is the means of immortals!
The king of Ruyang listened fascinated, and personally poured wine for Chang Zhiman, asked this and that, Chang Zhiman drank the wine, responded to the answer of the king of Ruyang, and then continued to teach the story of how to use the water of the Tianhe River to break the monk Hu and save the dragon god.
It is said that it was the Kaiyuan year, Ye Jingneng gathered in the Xingtang Temple in Fenghua County, Mingzhou to preach the scriptures, since Ye Jingneng set up an altar to preach the Fa, attracted a lot of believers to go, including an old man in white, every time he preached he listened attentively, very respectful. Every day, I was the first to come and the last to go, and I was still very hesitant to go, as if I wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it. Many days passed, and the old man stayed longer and longer, but he never spoke.
Ye Jingneng preached the Taoist Sutra for a few days, and the disciples all saw the old man who was different from ordinary people, so they successively described to their master how there was an old man with strange appearance. His eyes were like torches like Ye Jingneng, and he had already noticed the old man, he had never seen such a pious person, while he was happy and doubtful, he flicked his fingers and prepared to make a hexagram for this old man, as soon as he raised his palm, he heard a thunderclap in the clear sky, breaking his heavenly opportunity. He knew immediately that this old man was definitely not very human, so Ye Jingneng didn't break the inside story, pretended not to know, and waited to see how long this old man could endure.
After Ye Jingneng finished preaching the Tao Sutra that day, the audience dispersed one after another, leaving the old man to stay and not return, scratching his ears and brows, pacing back and forth. Ye Jing knew that the time was ripe, so he sent a disciple to invite the old man and asked if the old man had anything unspeakable. When the old man heard this, he immediately wept bitterly and kowtowed, crying and saying to Ye Jingneng:
"The immortal master is above, the disciple's name is scales, and he wants to beg the immortal master for something, but he has never dared to say it himself, since the immortal master asks today, how dare the disciple hide it. The disciple is not a mortal, but a dragon who serves in the sea south of Xingtang Temple to guard the treasures, according to the clan rules, this thousand years to protect this sea area, if the thousand years, the treasures are not lost, the disciple can be slightly promoted; If the treasure is lost, the disciple will be relegated to the sea of fire and be punished by the hot sand. Since the day he received the order, the disciples did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and they fulfilled their duties and trembled, and it has been more than 900 years since they arrived today, and their merits will be completed in a few years. But he never thought that thirty years ago, he didn't know where a monk came, and he didn't know if the monk knew where the treasure house was or if he stumbled into it by mistake, so he cast a spell in his disciple's sea area to refine the seawater into essence. This monk is pious, very powerful, the spells he practices are powerful, very domineering, and his disciples are not his opponents. The Hu monk has practiced in this sea area for 30 years, every noon and noon, he comes to refine the water in the sea, in the long run, the sea water has been refined by him more than eight zhang, if the refining continues, the sea water will dry up, then the treasure can not be hidden, it is bound to be taken away by Hu Seng, and then the disciple this guard Jiaolong will have to die. The disciple didn't dare to hope for promotion, he only hoped that he wouldn't have to endure the punishment of a thousand years of fire, and he was old, so he really didn't dare to think about such torture. I hope that the immortal master will have mercy, and for the sake of the disciple's diligence and prudence for thousands of years, he will save the disciple from this difficulty, and the disciple will not dare to forget the great kindness of the immortal master. ”
Ye Jingneng listened to these words, and secretly thought about it in his heart, so he opened his mouth to deal with the matter, and promised to rescue the old Jiaolong on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the old Jiaolong cried and expressed his gratitude, and left after knocking a lot. Ye Jingneng knew that this matter was not trivial, and he was even more worried that he would forget, so he deliberately wrote a few big words on the pillars in the hall:
"Save the dragon at noon!"
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Ye Jingneng went to the county for a banquet first, and rested in the room after coming back. When Ye Jingneng's disciples were cleaning, they suddenly saw the words on the pillar, and there were words in their mouths: "Save the dragon at noon!" It's almost noon now, and Master is still resting, so have you forgotten about it? So he planned to go into the house to remind Ye Jing to save the dragon.
Ye Jingneng had already heard the disciple's muttering in the room, so he asked, "What time is it?" The disciple replied, "Back to Master, it's almost noon." Ye Jingneng got up and prepared to do it!
Ye Jingneng first sent a disciple in Tsing Yi as a messenger, holding a black talisman and rushing to Xiaohai. A mile away from Xiaohai, the disciples of Tsing Yi saw a thick black cloud over the sea, the black cloud covered the sky, the yin wind howled, the poisonous wind blew from all sides, there was a Brahmin monk of the Tianzhu Kingdom, who looked black and ugly, and his curly hair and tendrils were dirty. I saw him holding a sword in one hand and a duel in the other, standing on top of the black clouds, chanting incantations, and shouting loudly on the sea, the sea water was sucked into the black clouds with the spell, condensed into ink-colored water droplets The essence was swallowed by Hu Seng into his abdomen, and the sea water was also subtracted by a few feet under this spell, and the disciple in Tsing Yi was sucked into the sea by the poisonous wind with Hu Seng's practice before he could make a move.
Ye Jingneng moved his trick here, knowing the situation over there, he immediately sent another yellow-clothed disciple as a messenger, holding a yellow talisman to beat the horse and rush forward to Xiaohai. More than a hundred steps away from Xiao Hai, the yellow-clothed disciple was also sucked into the sea with the shouts of Hu Sheng. At this time, the sea water was reduced by a few feet, and a white dragon could already be seen jumping in the shallow water, looking painful and difficult.
Although Ye Jingneng was in the Taoist temple, but the situation at sea was like seeing it himself, he smiled coldly in his heart, this black and ugly monk was still a bit of Taoism, and then mentioned the Zhu Pen, pinched the magic trick in his hand, and silently recited an edict in his mouth. After drawing the talisman, he once again sent a Zhuyi disciple to cast a spell with the red talisman in his hand. When the Zhuyi disciple arrived at the shore, the sea water was only one or two feet deep, and the white dragon was panting heavily, his mouth was full of mud and sand, and he was obviously weak. The Brahmin monk saw the disciple of Zhu Yi holding the red talisman in his hand, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly waved the sword in his hand, and there were words in his mouth, and countless black sand rushed towards the disciple of Zhu Yi, which was wrapped in a trace of lightning, and the red-clothed disciple according to the master's instructions, sacrificed a turtle shell magic weapon, and when the shield-shaped enchantment appeared around the body, facing the black sand lightning and moving forward with difficulty, the Brahmin Hu monk was even more shouting, urging the big spell with all his might, and the red-clothed disciple shook a few times, stumbled a few times, but did not fall.
Just when the Brahmin monks were still desperate, the disciples of Zhu Yi had already come to the beach, only to see that the small sea in the south of the country had almost dried up, leaving only one or two feet of deep seawater, and a white dragon was lying on the beach. The disciple of Zhu Yi did not hesitate any longer, and immediately threw the red talisman into the sea, and as soon as the red talisman touched the sediment on the bottom of the sea, it immediately gushed out endless river water, and the sea water was helped by the river, and it immediately rose sharply, and after a while, it was restored to its original state.
The Brahmin monk looked at the boiling sea water under him, knew that the general trend had gone, and forcibly endured the collapse of the big spell in his body, touched his sword and sighed, he has been practicing for nearly a thousand years, and his Taoist skills have surpassed the entire Tianzhu, and he has been working hard in this sea area for thirty years, and he doesn't want to use up his skills today, but he still can't fight a Taoist priest. It's just that this Taoist priest is too powerful, but there are so many things, it's really hateful, he can use a talisman to attract the water of the sky, and borrow a big river out of thin air to break his formation, not only can the treasure not be available, but the origin has been destroyed, and the Hu monk didn't dare to stay any longer, and set up a black cloud and fled in a hurry.
The black clouds above the sea dissipated, and they became calm again, and the two disciples who were originally sucked into the sea were also floating on the water, and the red-clothed disciples and the two fellow disciples helped each other back to the Taoist temple, and told the master about their experiences, Ye Jingneng smiled calmly and said nothing. Before the three of them finished reporting, the bearded old man arrived, his eyes were full of tears, he was full of emotion, he knelt down with tears, and saluted Ye Tianshi with tears and said:
"Thank you for the immortal master's life-saving grace, if it weren't for the immortal master's mana, the disciple would have died under the spell of that monk, even if he was lucky enough to escape death, but if the treasure is lost, the thousand-year punishment must be inevitable. The scale is afraid that he will not be able to repay the kindness, and he is willing to rely on the immortal master for life, as an immortal master, from now on, he will ask for peace at night and night, and the immortal master will obey it, even if the road is far away, even if there are rivers and mountains apart, as long as the immortal master is called, the disciple will arrive immediately! ”
Ye Jingneng didn't explicitly say whether he would accept the dragon or not, but just ordered him to go back first, recover his vitality, and talk about it later. Since then, Ye Jingneng has still opened the altar to preach the Fa, and the Jiaolong has also come to listen to it every day, running diligently. Because the Xingtang Temple where Ye Jingneng lives is located on the plateau, it is impossible to dig wells, and the doorman has to go to a place more than ten miles away every day to carry water, and it is difficult to travel back and forth, and the people in the whole view have a headache. Ye Jingneng saw this, and had the heart to test the dragon, so he called his disciple to call the dragon and instructed:
"Since Zunjia is a dragon, he has lived in the poor Taoist temple for a long time, and he can also see that the disciples in the temple have to walk a long way to get water every day, if there is a spring in the Taoist temple, you can save them a lot of hard work, you want to repay a certain kindness, just make a spring in this view!"
When the white dragon heard this, he said with a little embarrassment:
"Master forgives sins, the flow of spring water in the world is determined by the heavenly realm, and it cannot be changed by human beings. However, the master respects the disciple with the grace of saving his life, and he has escaped the suffering of a thousand years of fire, how can the disciple refuse? However, this matter is not trivial, it is best for the master to let everyone leave this place temporarily, if the disciple is lucky to win this mountain god, wait until the sky is bright and dark three times back and forth is the matter has been done, when the time comes, wait until the sky is as usual Master you will come back! ”
Who is Ye Jingneng, the person who can transfer a heavenly river with just one talisman, how can he not know about such rules of heaven and earth, since he has the intention to test it, he pretends not to know, just see how the dragon will act. At that moment, he ordered everyone to leave the Taoist temple for a while and watch from afar.
After a while, I saw that on the top of the mountain where the Taoist temple was located, lightning and thunder, the wind suddenly rose, the sky was bright and dark, everyone only heard bursts of dragon groans, but they couldn't see any traces, and they all looked at Ye Jingneng. Ye Jingneng looked at the top of the mountain calmly, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Half a day has passed, the sky has returned to normal, Ye Jingneng took the Taoist priests back to the Taoist temple again, only to see a clear spring near the Taoist temple, the stone built into a well wall, along the Taoist temple around a circle, flowing to the direction of the sea, the spring water is murmuring, clear and sweet, the Taoist temple no longer has to worry about the draft.
After that, in order to thank the master for his kindness, everyone nominated this clear spring canal as the "Immortal Master Canal". That white dragon was also received by the master under the door, and now it intersects with our peers! The name of the master's wonderful art has spread all over the world, and there are only a few of them! ”
Chang Zhiman finally finished telling the story of how Ye Jingneng borrowed the river from the sky and how he defeated Hu Seng to save the dragon god, at this moment it was the red light with a radiant face, anyone who has such an amazing and brilliant master, I am afraid that they can't help but their tails!
