0003 Human Crisis Pangu saves people
According to legend, the Pangu brothers and sisters were from before Chaos. At that time, the world was densely populated, concealed and ignorant of oneself, forgot one's righteousness for profit, scolded the heavens and the earth, and the society was chaotic. But after thinking about it: After the destruction of heaven and earth, human beings will become extinct, and all things will disappear, what will the world still look like? Thinking of this, he sent Tai Bai Xing to lead the heavenly soldiers and generals to the mortal world to investigate, find the best people in the world, keep one or two, and pass them on to future generations.
Tai Bai Xing visited a brother and sister with the surname Pangu at the foot of a mountain. Their parents died early, and they mainly collected firewood. The two are kind-hearted, loyal and honest, and charitable to others, and after the Taibai Immortal reported to the Jade Emperor, he received an order to test the Pangu brothers and sisters.
When the Pangu brothers and sisters were collecting firewood, they often passed by a monastery. In front of the temple gate, a stone lion, tall and majestic, with an open mouth, two people side by side can walk in. Every time the brother and sister pass by, they always stop, touch their heads, touch their tails, touch their bodies, and touch their legs. On that day, the brother and sister were resting in front of the stone lion, and an old monk with silver hair, ragged clothes, and a cane came out of the monastery and pleaded with the Pangu brothers and sisters: "Our monastery has nothing to eat, the young apprentices are gone, I can't walk, I have been hungry for eight days, please bring me two buns to eat every day! If I am not at home, you will put the buns in the stone lion's mouth, and I will go and get them myself, so as not to mistake you to go up the mountain to collect firewood." When the brother and sister saw the old monk's yellow and thin face, they nodded and agreed. Since then, the brother and sister have picked wild fruits and dug wild vegetables to eat. Put the two steamed buns saved in the stone lion's mouth on time. After some time, the old monk came out of the monastery and said to them very sincerely: "You brothers and sisters are good people, and I tell you the news that the sky will soon fall, and we will destroy those who have done many evils and deceived the people and caused great evils." You two have a good heart, be careful, from now on you pay attention to the lion's eyes, when its eyes are red, you will burrow into the lion's mouth and take refuge, you must remember. The brother and sister were about to ask again, but the sleeves of the old monk's robe flicked, and there was no trace in a blink of an eye.
The June sun shone like fire on the ground, there was no rain for a long time, the grass and trees withered, the pit river bottomed out, the land was dry and cracked, and the people were struggling in pain. One day, suddenly thunder and lightning, the wind roared, and the clouds rolled like a wild horse, which made people tremble. The brother and sister hurriedly packed up the firewood and moved home. The two of them passed by the stone lion and found that the stone lion's eyes were red, and they knew that the general situation was not good, so they threw down the firewood and followed back to the village in a panic to report the news. The people in the village thought it was nonsense, and no one avoided it. The Pangu brothers and sisters had no choice but to leave the village and run to the lion's eyes and get into the lion's mouth. At this time, the lion's mouth was in its mouth, and it rose into the air and whistled away.
The brother and sister looked out from the gap between the stone lion's teeth, only to see the clouds rolling, the flood flooding, the heaven and the earth mixed into a pool, a terrible disaster befell the world, suddenly the earthquake shook the heavens and the earth with a loud bang, the mountain collapsed, the earth sank, the sky fell, the sun and the moon lost their light, and the sky and the earth turned into ashes. The whole of nature was destroyed.
The brother and sister were so frightened that they huddled together and drilled into the stomach of the stone lion. When they turned their heads to look in, they were stunned. It turned out that there was a courtyard in the lion's belly, and there were two piles of buns in the house, each of which was ninety-nine eighty-one. Here they understood that the old monk had saved the food for them. So that they escaped the disaster.
The Pangu brothers and sisters spent ninety-nine eighty-one days in the belly of the stone lion, and the stone lion spoke: "I tell you now, I am the Jade Qilin, the mount of the Jade Emperor, because I was drunk, I mistakenly participated in the Queen Mother's Pan Tao Party, and punished me to the mortal world for my crimes." At that time, the Jade Emperor was very annoyed by the sins of the mortal people and decided to sink the earth and rebuild the world. Later, after the visit of Tai Bai Xing, only your brother and sister were left in the world to inherit the ancestry. The Jade Emperor ordered me to use a spell to arrange for you to take refuge here, and now that the disaster has passed, you two hurry out and use your wisdom to create a new world. I asked the Jade Emperor for my guilt."
As soon as they climbed out of the mouth of the stone lion, they found that everything in the world was finished, only an auspicious cloud under their feet. The brother and sister looked at the empty world and were full of sorrow, and the younger sister said sadly, "What should I do?"
Pangu said: "I heard that the Jade Emperor used to be in charge of the seventeenth layer of heaven, let's go and ask for a layer!" The two brothers and sisters stepped on the clouds and flew towards the Heavenly Palace, they flew, flew, flew for seven hundred and forty-nine days before flying to the "Cloud Dui Palace". The brother and sister met the Jade Emperor and explained their intentions. The Jade Emperor said, "Heaven can give you a layer." Then he threw the blue handkerchief on the god case to Pangu and said, "Go to space, throw this handkerchief out, and it will become heaven." The brother and sister took the handkerchief, gave a deep salute, and hurriedly walked outside the palace. The younger sister said, "Brother, what if we only have heaven and no land? Pangu froze when he heard this: "I heard the Jade Emperor say that no one is allowed to ask for a second thing in the Heavenly Palace."
What the two said was overheard by the stone lion. He said, "It doesn't matter, I have a solution, but I don't know if you have the guts?" Pangu hurriedly replied, "As long as we can find the earth, we are not afraid of anything." The stone lion said: "There is a 'Longyan Palace' where the Jade Emperor sleeps, and there is a garden ball called 'Ruyi Ball' in the town palace, which can be big or small, you take it away." At that point, you just have to say 'big' and it will be big, but it will never shrink again. But during the day there is a god who will guard it, and only at night can it be taken away. Now that my Beast Ace card is for you, take it out when it's time to do it and you'll be fine. "Say goodbye and leave.
At night, Pangu asked his sister to wait outside the "Longyan Palace", and he flew towards the "Longyan Palace". As soon as I arrived at the mountain, I saw two lanterns glowing. Pangu took a closer look, ah, it was a huge python Jiaojiao, with a head like a grinding disc and eyes like fire, and it pounced viciously towards Pangu. Pangu was frightened into a cold sweat, suddenly remembered the beast ace card, and hurriedly took it out from his waist, and the giant python saw the beast ace card raised high and lay down in front of the palace and did not move.
Pangu saw the raised beast ace card from the giant python and crouched in front of the palace and did not move. Pangu walked past the giant python and came to the "Dragon's Eye Palace", where he saw the Ruyi ball shining on the tip of the palace. Quickly stepped forward to take it off, put it in his pocket, and walked back happily. At the gate of the palace, a fierce tiger rushed towards Pangu. Pangu hurriedly took out the beast ace card, and the tiger lay motionless, so he took the opportunity to fly out of the "Dragon's Eye Palace".
Pangu pulled his sister and said, "Hurry up, if you are found by the Jade Emperor, you will die." The brother and sister flew into space and settled down. Pangu threw his handkerchief upward, and sure enough, a blue sky appeared above his head.
Pangu looked up and saw that it was the Jade Emperor and the Tai Bai Xing standing in the clouds. Hurriedly knelt down and said, "Emperor Xie Yu forgives." But when the earth is bare, can you give trees and corridors and grains, birds and animals, mountains and rivers?"
The Jade Emperor said angrily: "You asked me for heaven and stole my 'Ruyi Ball', can you still ask me for things again?"
Tai Bai Xing interjected: "Jade Emperor, it's right to take off the auspicious clouds on their feet. But it is the remembers of their brothers and sisters that make the heavens and the earth good, so give some according to their requests, and there will be people on earth who will thank you in the future. ”
The Jade Emperor listened to the reason of Tai Bai Xing's words, so he took some pieces of colored paper and scattered them to the earth, and in an instant, the sun hung in the sky, the mountains and rivers were clearly layered, the mountains and forests covered the sky and the earth, and the grass seedlings on the flat land were lush and green, and the birds and flowers were fragrant everywhere. The original chaotic earth has become completely new. However, the hole in the northeast corner of the sky has not yet grown. Pangu went to the river and fished out a piece of ice, threw it at the northeast corner of the sky, and blocked the hole. When the northeast wind blows, people feel very cold and biting, which is the cold air of the ice in the northeast corner.
The Pangu brothers and sisters stood on Wangshi Mountain at the northern end of Dabie Mountain, looking around, ready to choose a place to live. Suddenly found that the lake and mountains in the northwest are extremely beautiful, and the Pangu brothers and sisters said: "If this lake can become a mountain against the backdrop of the surrounding environment, it is really a good place." These words were heard by the ancient Buddha of the Western Heavens. The Buddha ordered the two sons of the Kua'e clan to move a mountain from the right side of the middle section of the Dabie Mountain, which just happened to cover the lake. At that time, the Dragon King of the Four Seas was discussing important matters here, and suddenly the mountain fell and sank to the surface of the lake, causing the Dragon King of the Four Seas to be unable to discuss normally. The dragon king sent nine dragons against the mountain where they fell. Therefore, this mountain is called "Nine Dragon Mountain".
When the Pangu brothers and sisters saw this scene, they were very happy and ran from the Lion Mountain to this mountain. I don't know how far I ran before I ran to the western slope. They were so tired and sweaty that they couldn't breathe, so they sat down to rest. The cool breeze came slowly, so cool, and later this mountain was called "Wind Mountain". They rested for a while and continued to climb the mountain, but they were so tired that they couldn't walk anymore and insisted on climbing up. Therefore, the high and steep place in the southwest of Pangu Mountain is called "high climbing". In the end, they climbed to the top of the mountain and settled down in a straw hut, and the two brothers and sisters were covered with mistletoe leaves. Sleep in the grass hut at night, drink sweet spring water, eat wild fruits and grass roots hungry, and live the life of primitive people. Later, "Jiulong Mountain" was changed to "Pangu Mountain".
