Packing up his mood, Ximenqing took a deep breath, the slightly cool air at night stimulated his lungs, refreshed him and recovered from his sadness. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Mingyue and Mingyin had not finished making their wishes, and Ximenqing shrugged helplessly: It seems that these two little girls have a lot of wishes! I doubt that you can make so many wishes come true~

After a while, the two women let go of their hands and opened their eyes one after another, and looked up at the night sky, but where was the shadow of Kong Ming lantern?

"Don't look for it, Kong Ming's lantern has already flown to the moon~" Ximenqing teased them.

When the two girls heard this, they were overjoyed, hugged each other, and cheered: "Yes! Great! Sister Chang'e has received our wish!"

Seeing this embarrassment, Ximen Qing thought to himself: Everyone knows that I lied to you, and you are still serious...... It's really uneducated, it's terrible......

"Ahem!"

Ximenqing coughed and asked Mingyin and the others, "What wish did you make just now, and it took so long?"

Mingyin smiled mysteriously: "I can't tell you!

Mingyue jumped in front of Ximenqing, looked at Ximenqing with a mocking face, and said with a smile: "Guess, I'll tell you if you guess right!"

Ximen Qing was defeated by Mingyue. He thought: I guessed right, do you still need to say it again?

However, he still wanted to guess what Mingyue was thinking. Well, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, it's nothing more than those wishes.

"Well, I guess what, you guess right, you are not allowed to cheat!"

"Guess what, I will never cheat, whoever cheats will have pockmarks on his face. "For girls who love beauty, this is undoubtedly a very cruel oath.

Ximen Qing walked towards the city gate, and after more than ten steps, he shook his head and said: "Chang'e in the moon is known for her beauty, so the bright moon worships the moon, and I wish 'it looks like Chang'e, and the face is like the bright moon', right?"

"Forehead ......"

Mingyue was obviously guessed by Ximenqing, her face was red again, she nodded her head and ran to the front.

Ximenqing is very complacent about this: Sample! Some little cases also want to embarrass me (it's a piece of cake)? If you don't want to be beautiful, a girl is not a good girl!

Ximenqing remembered that he had heard a joke in later life, "A tailor who doesn't want to be a cook is not a good driver", and now he still has the urge to laugh out loud when he thinks about it.

This sentence means that the tailor does not want to be smoked in the kitchen all day long with the smell of oil, which means that the tailor is even more reluctant to be a driver with the smell of engine oil. So even if he is made a driver, he will definitely not do a good job......

Mingyin saw Mingyue deflated, the corners of her mouth smiled, and the two small dimples on her face reappeared. Ximenqing didn't come to ask her what she wished, but said, "Mingyin, do you know the legend of Chang'e running to the moon?"

"Well, I've heard that. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were ten suns in the sky one year, which roasted the earth until it smoked, and the sea dried up, and the common people could no longer live. Later, a hero named Hou Yi, he climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain, used his divine power, pulled out the divine bow, and shot down nine suns in one go. The queen mother thanked Hou Yi for his work in shooting the sun and gave him the immortal elixir. And Chang'e took the immortal medicine for some reason, couldn't stay on the ground, and flew to the moon. Since then, Hou Yi and Chang'e have been separated from each other and have not seen each other again. ”

Mingyue heard the conversation between Ximen Qing and the two, and also turned back, and when Mingyin finished speaking, she continued: "I've heard of it too." Legend has it that the queen mother rewarded Hou Yi with two immortal pills, and people who take one pill will live forever, and if they take two pills, they will become immortals. Hou Yi took it home for Chang'e to keep and prepare to share the food between the husband and wife, but this plan was accidentally broken. There are legends that Chang'e took it all because she didn't know the details, some people say that Chang'e was curious to steal food, some people say that Chang'e deliberately stole it, and another sad saying is that Hou Yi snubbed Chang'e, and Chang'e took it when she was sad......"

Ximen Qing has also heard of these legends, and various versions of accidents have made Chang'e's image erratic for thousands of years.

"I have a version here, which is also a sad myth. Ximenqing said to the two girls as he walked back, "The story may be a little long, let's talk about it as we go." ”

The two girls nodded and followed closely beside Ximenqing.

Hou Yi shot down nine suns and made great contributions, so he was respected and loved by the people. After that, many people with lofty ideals came to learn the arts, and among these people, there were treacherous and unscrupulous Pengmeng.

Soon, Hou Yi married a beautiful and kind wife named Chang'e. In addition to hunting, Hou Yi is with his wife all day long, and people envy this talented and beautiful loving couple.

One day, Hou Yi went to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek Taoism, and happened to meet the Queen Mother who passed by, and the Queen Mother gave him two elixirs, eating one can be immortal, and eating two can go to heaven as a fairy.

However, Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife, so he had to temporarily hand over the immortal medicine to Chang'e for collection. Chang'e hid the medicine in the treasure box on the dresser, but was unexpectedly seen by Pengmeng.

Three days later, Hou Yi led his disciples out hunting, and Pengmeng, who had a ghost in his heart, pretended to be sick and easily deceived Hou Yi and stayed.

Soon after Hou Yi led everyone away, Peng Meng broke into the backyard of the inner house with a sword in his hand and coerced Chang'e to hand over the immortal medicine. Chang'e knew she wasn't Pengmeng's opponent. When she was in danger, she turned around and opened the treasure box, took out the immortal elixir and swallowed it in one gulp.

Chang'e swallowed the medicine, and her body immediately floated off the ground, rushed out of the window, and flew into the sky. Because Chang'e was concerned about her husband, she flew down to the nearest moon with the moon rabbit in her arms and became a fairy ......"

When Mingyue heard this, she said with deep hatred: "That Pengmeng is really a big villain, he will do anything to become an immortal!"

Mingyin was a little sad: "Hou Yi is really pitiful! When he comes home and finds that his wife is gone, he will definitely be in pain......

Ximenqing agreed with the views of the two daughters and continued: "In the evening, Hou Yi returned home, and the maids cried about what happened during the day. Hou Yi was both shocked and angry, and drew his sword to kill the villain, but Peng Meng knew that the matter was exposed, and he had already fled, so angry that Hou Yi beat his chest and screamed.

Grief-stricken, Hou Yi looked up at the night sky and called his beloved wife's name. At this time, he was surprised to find that the moon in the sky was exceptionally bright and bright, and there was a swaying figure that resembled Chang'e. This is Chang'e missing her husband, and every night when the moon rises, she will come forward to look at her husband in the world.

Hou Yi hurriedly sent someone to Chang'e's favorite back garden, put on the incense table, put her favorite honey, fresh fruits and moon cakes, and worshiped his beloved wife in the Moon Palace.

Later, when the people heard the news that Chang'e ran to the moon and became an immortal, they also set up incense tables under the moon to pray for auspiciousness and peace to the kind-hearted Chang'e. Since then, the custom of worshipping the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival has spread among the people......"

In Ximenqing's view, although this story is poignant, it is contrary to the 'Chang'e Running to the Moon' written in the information. The "Lingxian" edition of "Quanshang Ancient Texts" records the story of Chang'e's transformation into a toad: "Chang'e, Yi's wife, stole the queen mother's immortal medicine and took it,...... Chang'e was on the moon for a toad. ”

Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty wrote the famous story of Chang'e running to the moon - "Chang'e": "

The mica screen candle shadow is deep, and the long river gradually falls.

Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are night and night. ”

While satirizing the vanity, the poet Li Shangyin put forward an important philosophy of life: What is the meaning of life? How should people live? What is the purpose of longevity or even immortality? Between love and immortality, what should we choose in reality?
