Chapter Twenty-Six: The Southeast Heavenly Pillar Seeks the Book of Heaven
The next morning, the sun rose from Yunmengze again, the golden sunlight shone on the island in the middle of the lake, Dayu and the other three woke up, each washed their faces with lake water first, and only felt that their expressions were extremely refreshing.

Dayu remembered the trip to the Moon Palace last night, and he didn't know if it was a dream or a real thing, and remembered that he had picked up a piece of osmanthus leaf in the Moon Palace and kept it in his arms as a souvenir. So he reached into his arms and touched it, and really took out a osmanthus leaf. I remembered that I once drank the "light body tea" given by Sister Chang'e. I don't know if it's true or not, I want to verify it.
So he took up the Yellow Emperor's mixed yuan gong, took a breath, and made a move to "climb the clouds". Try your best to go up vertically. I just felt like a cloud and fog, and my body shot straight into the air, which scared Dayu himself.
This vertical is like a rocket drilling into the sky, and it is more than 20 feet high. It rose until it couldn't rise any longer, and Dayu slowly fell back to the ground. Only then did I believe that it was true that I went to the Moon Palace last night to see Chang'e
This longitudinal, straight to the Xuangong, Huang Ge and the two opened their mouths wide, and they couldn't close for a long time. I thought to myself: "Why did Dayu live on the island in the middle of the lake for one night, and there was such a big progress in light work? "How did the two of them know that last night, when they were asleep, Dayu had already traveled to the Moon Palace.
The three of them picked some unknown wild fruits for breakfast on the island in the middle of the lake. Once tasted, it is unusually delicious and has a unique flavor, which is very different from the wild fruits eaten elsewhere. So they picked some more and brought them to the boat, and kept them for the journey.
After breakfast, Dayu and the three of them boarded the canoe again. Xuan Gong and Huang Ge supported the boat. Leaving Yunmengze Lake Island, continue to the southeast.
Yunmengze, the water is connected to the Yangtze River, and the south is connected to Dongting Lake. The boat traveled for another four or five days before reaching the Yangtze River. This section is the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the river water is clear, the water flow is stable, and the river surface is open. After the boat enters the waterway of the Yangtze River, it goes down the river, drifting along the river, and there is no need for people to support the boat.
The south bank of the Yangtze River is the Dongting Lake Plain, and the north bank of the Yangtze River is the Jianghan Plain. There are thousands of miles of fertile fields here, and there are many rivers, lakes and ports, and it is the richest land of fish and rice in the land of China.
Since the boat entered the Yangtze River waterway, the weather was fine, the wind and waves were calm, the blue sky and white clouds, and the three of them enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way. On this day, we came to the mouth of the lake. The mouth of the lake is the mouth of Pengli Lake (now called Poyang Lake) connecting to the Yangtze River. Pengli Lake has always been known as a paradise for migratory birds.
The Yangtze River is upstream from the source to Wuxia, from Wuxia to the mouth of the lake is the middle reach, and from the mouth of the lake downstream, it is the downstream.
Since the mouth of the lake, the water flow of the Yangtze River is more gentle, the river surface is open, and the water town in the south of the Yangtze River is a paradise on earth. Rivers are networked and lakes are everywhere. It's like stringing pearls on a silver thread, and then forming a big fishing net, covering the land of the south of the Yangtze River.
The boat traveled in the Yangtze River for a few more days, and came to a large ferry port in front. As soon as I inquired with the locals, I said that if you land from here, you can go straight to the southeast Tianzhu Mountain. So the three of them tied the boat to a big tree on the shore, abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, asking for directions as they went, and walked towards the southeast pillar.
The southeast pillar of heaven, the peaks stand tall, the precipices are listed, and the strange stones are sagging. Flowing springs and waterfalls are all over the valley, strange pines and bamboos, green trees and red flowers are all over the valley. The sea of fog and clouds is changing rapidly and is boundless. Set male, strange, spiritual, show in a mountain.
Dayu took Xuangong and Huang Ge and trekked for three days, and finally came to the foot of the southeast pillar. The three of them looked at the mountain within a radius of 100 miles, at a loss, without a clue, not knowing where the "Golden Jane and Jade Seal" heavenly book was hidden in the mountain.
When the three of them were hesitating, Huang Ge pointed to the house exposed in the mountain col and said, "There are people living there, we might as well go and inquire." Dayu was overjoyed and said: "It's easy to do someone's home, as the saying goes, to know things in the mountains, you must ask the people in the mountains." Let's go and ask the mountain people. ”
The three of them came to the front of the house, the courtyard door was open, Huang Ge stepped forward and asked loudly, "Is there anyone at home?" As soon as the words fell, an old man with a white beard came out of the house, carrying a rattan cane, and came to the door. He said, "The young people have gone into the mountains to hunt, who are you looking for?"
Huang Ge said: "We are from the Central Plains, in order to subdue the flood, follow the instructions of the masters, come to this southeast Tianzhu Mountain, and look for the book of "Golden Jane and Jade Seal". When we first arrived, we didn't know anything about the southeast Tianzhu Mountain, so we asked the old man about the details of this big mountain, and asked the old man to give advice. ”
The white-bearded old man heard Dayu say this, and he had a good impression of Dayu, and said: "Young people are polite. Then I'll say as much as I know. ”
So he said: "I have also heard the elders say that there is a book of heaven hidden on this southeast Tianzhu Mountain, but no one knows where it is hidden. Maybe hidden on the top of a mountain, maybe hidden in a cave, maybe hidden in a crack in the rocks. No one has ever seen it. Our common people in the mountains farm, hunt, and chop firewood every day. We don't know anything about the Book of Heaven, and we don't care about it, even if they give it to us, we don't know how to read. ”
Dayu said: "Then please ask the old man to tell us about the situation of the southeast Tianzhu Mountain." ”
Xuangong helped the white-bearded old man to sit on a large rock, and everyone sat on the opposite side. The old man stroked his white beard, pointed to Tianzhu Mountain and said: "I was born in this big mountain, grew up in this big mountain, farmed at the foot of the mountain, hunted in the mountain, and was very familiar with this southeast Tianzhu Mountain. This southeast Tianzhu Mountain, standing on the top of the sky, guarding the ten thousand mountains, isolating the Optimus Prime, is really the Optimus Prime in the southeast.
This southeast Tianzhu Mountain, the size of a total of 42 peaks, 18 ridges, 17 cliffs, 25 caves, in addition to 13 wells, 16 rocks, 7 passes, 8 pools and 53 strange stones.
The main peak is called Tianzhu Peak. Because it is as steep as a layer tower and resembles a giant bamboo shoot, the people also call it "bamboo shoot tip". The tips of the bamboo shoots are smooth and steep, and it is impossible to climb on top of the sky.
There are poisonous snakes, giant pythons, wolves, jackals, tigers and leopards, killer vines, demon trees, etc., all kinds of obstacles, more than the same"
After listening to the white-bearded old man talk about the situation of Tianzhu Mountain in the southeast, Dayu had a basic understanding of this mountain, but how to find the book of heaven was still at a loss.
Dayu said to Xuangong and Huang Ge: "Let's go to the "bamboo shoots" to find it first, if we can't find it, then we will climb when we see the peak, drill when we see the hole, climb the cliff, open the big net, do not pull anywhere, as long as we are sincere, we will not find the book of heaven if we don't believe it." ”
The three of them said goodbye to the white-bearded old man. All the way, he cut through thorns and thorns, cut poisonous snakes, killed giant pythons, and came to the root of the southeast heavenly pillar.
Look up at the "tip of the bamboo shoot", there are hundreds of feet high, really like a big bamboo shoot that breaks out of the ground after the rain, up to the sky, down to the ground, round and smooth, not even a little place to stand on the foot, if not to have the top light body kung fu, don't want to climb a step.
Even Xuangong, who was nicknamed "Monkey Deng" when he was a child, could only look at the mountains and sigh. Dayu thought to himself, if he hadn't taken the "Light Body Pill" in the Moon Palace, it would have been difficult for him to climb up.
Xuangong asked Dayu: "Childe, what should I do?" Dayu said: "You two are waiting for me below, I'll go up and have a look first." Huang Ge asked, "Is Childe sure?" Dayu said, "Let me try it first." ”
Dayu tightened his shoes, tightened his belt, and tucked the corners of his clothes. Taking a deep breath, he took up the Yellow Emperor's Mixed Yuan Gong. A step to climb the clouds, rise up, and rise more than ten zhang high in one step. I looked around and saw a small stone nest on the cliff wall, which was just enough to step into half of the soles of my feet. So he quickly stepped on the ball of his right foot. borrowed the strength, and then took the second step, which was more than ten zhang high. Spotting a stone ridge protruding from the cliff face, he landed his left foot.
No matter how steep the mountain peak, it is not upright, no matter how large or small, there is always a little slope, and there are always convex and uneven undulations. The same is true of the tip of the bamboo shoots of this pillar.
This time, Dayu saw a stone protruding from the side of the bamboo shoots, his left foot fell, and with a little more force, his right foot had already risen. In this way, after each vertical rise, you can always find a foothold, and after borrowing the strength, you can rise again, and jump more than ten or twenty times in a row, and finally climb to the "tip of the bamboo shoots".
Dayu climbed to the top, stood firm, looked down at the top of the "bamboo shoots", is a platform about two steps wide and three steps long, cyan rock, smooth as a stone, no seams, no holes, no grass and trees on it, not even a small stone, let alone the book of heaven.
Dayu squatted on the ground and carefully inspected it, there were no gaps or traces on the bluestone. Dayu walked back and forth on it a few more times, but there was no clue. I knocked the handle of the mountain god axe on the bluestone a few times, and the echo was crisp and real, indicating that there was no hole under the bluestone. Dayu was not disappointed.
Xuan Gong and Huang Ge raised their heads below and asked loudly, "Do you see the Book of Heaven?" Dayu replied: "There is nothing on the top." ”
Dayu looked carefully on it for a while, but still found nothing, so he had no choice but to come down to the peak.
Dayu came to the bottom of the peak and told Xuangong and Huang Ge about the situation on the "tip of the bamboo shoots". When they heard this, they were also dejected. Dayu said: "The teacher asked us to go to this southeast pillar to find the heavenly book "Golden Jane Jade Seal". said that the book of heaven "Jin Jian Jade Seal" is in this southeast Tianzhu Mountain, and the teacher's words will never be wrong, but we haven't found it yet. If we look carefully, we will find it. From this day on, we will eat and live on this mountain, and we will always find it. ”
So Dayu took Xuangong and Huang Ge to find it from the first peak, drill when he saw the hole, climb the cliff when he saw it, turn over the stone when he saw it, drink a sip of mountain spring water when he was thirsty, pick a wild fruit to eat, and bake and eat a roe deer and hare when he was hungry. When it gets dark, find a cave, burrow into it, and sleep.
Every day, I searched the seven passes, eight wells, sixteen rocks, seventeen cliffs, eighteen ridges, twenty-five holes, and fifty-three strange stones of the forty-two peaks, and turned over every stone in the southeast Tianzhu Mountain. It took seventy-seven forty-nine days, and nothing was found.
The three of them were silent, sitting under a big cliff and worried, not to mention what it was like.
At this moment, I saw a fairy stepping on auspicious clouds, falling from the sky, and slowly falling on the opposite side of Dayu. Dayu looked at the fairy, with a goose egg face, two crescent eyebrows, a pair of red phoenix eyes, white teeth and red lips, a kind face, a kind demeanor, dignified manners, a white silk handkerchief covering his head, and white clothes dragging (ye) the ground. Can't tell if it's a man or a woman.
Seeing that it was a fairy, Dayu and the other three immediately came to their senses, hurriedly stood up, and bowed. I guess there must be another immortal who came to help him.
The immortal asked, "Is Dayu in front?
Dayu replied: "I am Dayu, may I ask who is the god?" The god replied: "I am the great god of Guanyin in the sky." Passing by here today, I saw you sitting on a stone and worried, so I appeared. ”
Dayu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "It turns out that you are the great god of Guanyin in the sky? So I told Teacher Huaxiazi that they went to Tianzhu Mountain in the southeast to find the book "Jin Jian Yu Seal". Then he said: "But we have been looking for seventy-seven and forty-nine days, and we have searched the forty-two peaks, twenty-five holes, and every stone of the fifty-three strange stones of the southeast Tianzhu Mountain, and the Book of Heaven is still nowhere to be found. We were worried and didn't know what to do next, when the great god came down and asked the great god to help us. ”
When the god of Guanyin heard Dayu say this, he stretched out his hand and pinched his fingers. Said: "No wonder you can't find the Book of Heaven, this is the heavens are deliberately testing your will, tempering your temperament, now is not the time when the Book of Heaven appears, you still have to bathe and fast under the cliff of the Yellow Emperor for seven days, and wait until the middle of the night on the seventh day, and then go to the main peak of the southeast Tianzhu Mountain's 'Bamboo Shoots', at that time, the Book of Heaven will appear, and you will naturally be able to find the Book of Heaven." ”
Dayu said: "I have climbed the 'bamboo shoots' of the southeast Tianzhu Mountain, but there is nothing on it. The great god Avalokiteshvara said, "The Book of Heaven does not appear every day, it only appears at a certain time, and after this moment it will be hidden again." When you go, it's not the time when the Book of Heaven appears, so you can't find it, but when the Book of Heaven appears, there will be monsters guarding under the Heavenly Pillar. You'll have to defeat the monsters to reach the top. If you miss the moment, the book will disappear again. ”
Dayu asked again: "Where is the Yellow Emperor Cliff?" The great god of Guanyin pointed to the cliff behind Dayu and said: "This is the Yellow Emperor Cliff." ”
Dayu said: "Thank you for the guidance of the great god of Guanyin, so that I can see the blue sky as if I remove the fog, otherwise, I will be looking for a lifetime, and I will not find the book of heaven." ”
The great god of Guanyin instructed Dayu and said: "Dayu, after finding the Book of Heaven, you must read it immediately." It is also necessary to think while reading, read the heavenly book well, read it thoroughly, and memorize it in your heart. In that case, even if the Book of Heaven is lost in the future, the knowledge you remember in your heart will not be lost. The people of the world are waiting for you to control the water, and I wish you early success. I have something to do, so I'll leave it at that. "After that, I drove the auspicious clouds to the sky.
Dayu sent away the great god of Guanyin and returned to the Yellow Emperor to bathe and fast. Xuangong and Huang Ge went to the mountains every day to pick wild fruits for Dayu to eat, and went to the mountain spring to draw spring water to quench Dayu's thirst, and carefully waited for Dayu's fasting.
