Chapter 41: The Three-Headed Human God

Qing Yu said: "This mountain is vast and has a circle of about 100 miles, but it is actually an island, facing water on all sides, and there is no other way. These three peaks are the same as those of a certain three people, and they are also assigned by our master. ”

At the moment, he followed the three blue birds, and still followed this road down the mountain. On the way, he came across another strange beast, which was like a sheep and had four horns, and it was called a mole. Its horns are so sharp that it kills when it touches things, and it can devour people, making it a beast of prey.

In the later "Classic of Mountains and Seas" there is this said: Original text: In the southwest of Kunlun Mountain, it is said that the hill of Kunlun is the capital under the Jade Emperor, and on the top of the nine-fold mountain in Kunlun, there is the god Lu Wu Si Li. Different from the enlightened beast, the enlightened beast has nine heads and nine tails and a tiger body, a human face, and is specially responsible for guarding the ninefold and nine heavenly gates of Kunlun Mountain, which is the divine beast of the mountain, the god of protection, and the god of protecting the law.

There is also a divine beast, its appearance is like a sheep and has four horns, called the earth mole, if there is a dead person or a person who is attacked by it and dies, it eats it, it is a fierce beast in Kunlun, there is a great immortal god of Kunlun Mountain to guard, this beast does not go out of the mountain, can not be evil. There are also birds, its shape is like a bee, as big as a mandarin duck, named Qinyuan, sting birds and beasts, birds and beasts will die, sting trees, trees will wither and die, stinging needles and its poison is as big as the nine mortal poisons, and the gods are difficult to get rid of. But this bird does not attack people for no reason.

There is also a sacred bird, whose name is quail, which is a hundred kinds of clothes of the emperor, and manages it.

There is also wood, its shape is like a begonia tree, Huanghua is red, its taste is like a plum and there is no seed, it is called a begonia tree, it can resist water, and it is a good fairy fruit to make people not drown when eating.

There is also grass, called grass, its shape is like a sunflower, its taste is like a green onion, and the food has been exhausted.

Then he came to the place where the tree was planted, and behold, there was a man of three who were there to fix the tree, and to clean up the sons of the tree. Originally, the Langji tree was about 120 zhang high, about 30 circumferences, and the fruit it bore was round and like beads, and its name was Langjing.

The young eagle said: "This god of the three-headed man is dedicated to serving Langji. He has three heads on his body, and the facial features of their three heads are the same, and when he breathes, one breath will appear in and out of three noses at the same time, and what the eyes on an old bag can see, the other two heads will also see at the same time, one mouth eats, and both mouths can be satisfied, and they are not hungry. ”

Seeing this, Zhang Xuanchu saw that there were more monsters, so he was just amazed, which was not surprising. When a few people approached and greeted the three gods of the body, talked with each other for a while, and learned about the fruit forest here, they took their leave and marched down the mountain.

When I got to the sea at the bottom of the mountain, I saw a big mountain in the distance, and the light on the mountain was blazing, as if it was burning. The big owl said: "This is the mountain of fire, where it burns day and night, and although it is stormy and rainy, its fire will not be extinguished." It is said that this kind of volcano can never be extinguished because there is a kind of ember tree growing in the mountains. So this is the root of the volcano, otherwise without the embers, it would not burn for a long time without extinguishing. ”

"There is also a kind of rat in the mountain, which is a fire rat. The living body weighs about 100 catties, the hair is more than two feet long, its hair is as fine as a hair, the color is pure white, and it runs out of the mountain from time to time. If you take water and pour it on it, it will die immediately, and if you take its wool and weave it into cloth, you can make clothes. After the defilement, the clothes only need to be burned with fire, and they will be as clean as new immediately, so they are called fire cloth. The three brothers were wearing bird feathers, and they were most afraid of fire, and they had never been there, so they were not sure if there was such a white mouse, but it was just a rumor. ”

Come to the weak water river and look up, sure enough, I saw three peaks in the water, the home of the three blue birds lives there, and I can see a big bird perched on the tree in the distance, three bodies with a head, it is very strange, black and white mixed feathers, red head and neck, its shape is like a crow, and I can't help but be curious and surprised, so I asked the big bird.

The big bird said: "The name of this strange bird is the owl, and it is a strange bird in this mountain, which is not found elsewhere, let alone no. "When I came to the seashore, there was a boat made of leather, no more than a foot in circumference, which could accommodate about two or three people. The blue bird beckoned Zhang Xuanchu to get on the boat, and the other three people also got on the boat, and the four of them could sit down and walk in the breeze with a wide open canvas.

Out of the port, looking ahead, there is no shore, and the waves are rolling. He asked, "Is this a boat sailable on the sea?" and don't be overturned by the water halfway through. The blue bird said, "You can sail." Kunlun Mountain has this weak water ninefold, surrounded, but also in the mountains in series several places, in addition to the immortal racing feather, no matter what ship will sink, can not pass, only this kayak can cross the weak water. ”

When Zhang Xuanchu heard this, he felt very strange again, and asked, "Didn't we go to Yushan? ”

Da Yu said: "If you want to go to Yushan, I only brought this small weak water, of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is as wide as the sea, in fact, in Kunlun Mountain, this weak water is only the minimum." ”

Zhang Xuanchu thought about it, if there is an elixir to eat, steal the elixir like a monkey to eat, then it will not become an immortal, and it will not be difficult to cross these rivers. At the moment, he asked: "If someone steals immortal medicine to eat, can he become an immortal?" ”

Da Yu said: "There is no such thing as what you said, no matter how you get the immortal medicine, you have immortal talents." However, there are two other truths: the first layer, whether an immortal can or cannot be an immortal is a destiny, not something that human beings can force to become an immortal. If this person should not become an immortal in his life, and quietly gives him immortal medicine, then the angel who manages the immortal root will pretend to other people who can become immortals, and steal his immortal medicine, so that he cannot take the medicine to become an immortal, so he cannot become an immortal. "There are people who steal medicine, and they are controlled by angels, but because of the destiny of heaven, they can't do it themselves. Therefore, this layer of stealing medicine cannot be said to be the sin of stealing, and true immortal cultivators do not do the act of stealing immortal medicine. Only the form and spirit are controlled and do not know it. ”

Qing Yu continued while rowing with spells: "On the second level, there is one more immortal in the world, it is better to have one more sage and hero, who can rule the world." Because the sages and heroes are useful to the world, and the immortal people have nothing to do with the world? If everyone becomes an immortal and leaves, then there will be no human beings in the world, so how can the immortal world be managed. ”

Zhang Xuanchu said: "The second layer of truth you said is very incisive and deeply admired. However, the first layer says that if it is innocent, I feel that it is a bit inappropriate. According to this statement, then the evil people in the world, wantonly killing people, can also use the excuse of the Mandate of Heaven to say that the angels and immortals will fake their hands and think they are innocent?"

Da Yu said: "From the perspective of the world, what you said is justified, and it should be said that stealing medicine is guilty." Why is it said to be guilty? It is the reason why others are afraid to imitate others. However, according to the heavenly eyes of the gods, this is not the case. Everything in the world is nothing but fate. A person who is killed by a murderer, or drowned in a flood, or crushed by a rock, is the same death. If the murderer kills him, he is said to be guilty, but if he is drowned by a flood or crushed by a rock, can he also be said to be guilty of both the water and the rock? If the murderer is human and conscious, we should deal with him. Water and rocks are not personal, they are unconscious, and they cannot be dealt with with them, so they can only give up. Then let me ask, this drowned and crushed man, is he still destined to die, or is he guilty of sin? If it is a sin, where is the sin? If he is not guilty, why should he die? Drowning and crushing to death is fate, so isn't it also fate to be killed by murderers? Since it is fate, since it is determined by heaven, where is the murderer's crime? Murder is not guilty, what is more worth stealing a packet of medicine? Therefore, there is no definite nature to speak of, and the imitator is invalid. Neither can the world do that. ”

Zhang Xuanchu heard these words, although he had nothing to say in his mouth, he still thought it was right and wrong in his heart. After a while, I only heard the sound of water gurgling on all sides, and it turned out that I had reached the center of the weak water. The ship reached the opposite side of the weak water, sailed faster, and arrived at the foot of Kunlun Jade Mountain in a short time.

At the moment, the public is still getting off the boat, Zhang Xuanchu looks at the weak water, clear and shallow, and does not believe that it is powerless and cannot bear the mustard. There was just a torn towel cloth in his hand, and he drew two wisps and threw it into the weak water, and sure enough, he immediately sank to the bottom, so he knew that this legend was credible. The weak water could not carry goods, but it was strange to think of the boat.

The three blue birds led Zhang Xuanchu to look around for a while, it was not early, and then he went back to the Yushan inn to rest, and remembered what he saw and heard today in his mind.

Early in the morning of the second day, he was guided by the blue bird and went to the main hall in Qionghuaque. At this time, the Queen Mother of the West has not yet come out, and she has not seen the fairy that the Queen Mother said, taking advantage of this to look around, only to see a plaque above it, the big book "Guangbitang" three words, all the furnishings are not gold or jade, extremely gorgeous and noble, most of the objects do not know their names. Qing Xuan said: "This palace is what I said yesterday, is it still big?" Zhang Xuanchu said: "It is very big, and there is no such room * hall in the world." ”

The big eagle asked Zhang Xuanchu: "Now Zhang Xiaoxian still wants to go to Yushan to play?" Zhang Xuanchu said: "I don't know what good things are in this Jade Mountain, and how many mysterious mountains and rivers there are, or you take me to Yushan with you." The big eagle said: "On the jade mountain, there are all kinds of things, and there are many treasures. Although it is also an immortal mountain, it is different from the big mountain of Kunlun Mountain. Even if the place where our master lives, it is only a cave in the earth. ”

When Zhang Xuanchu heard this, he was surprised again, and hurriedly asked what the reason was. The big eagle said: "The Yuyu Qionglou in Kunlun Mountain, the Spiral Palace Tilting Room, is enjoyed by our master after becoming a fairy." And the earth cave in Yushan was inhabited by our master when he became a god. The gentleman does not forget its original form, so our master always comes to live in Yushan every year. ”
