Dayu stayed overnight on the island in the middle of Yunmengze Lake. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoLying on his back on the green grass, his imagination is full of dreams, and he can't sleep at night. Looking up at the starry sky, the Milky Way is vast, the blue sky is like washing, and a bright moon hangs in the starry sky. Occasionally, a meteor streaked across the sky.

As the night deepened, the moon rings became larger and brighter. The osmanthus tree in the moon is clearly recognizable, under the tall osmanthus tree, there seems to be a figure, rotating a giant axe, cutting the trunk one by one, under the osmanthus tree, a white rabbit is pounding medicine.

Suddenly, Dayu saw that there seemed to be a leaf floating down in the moon ring. fluttering and falling towards Yun Mengze, drifting closer and closer, getting bigger and bigger, until it fell down in front of Dayu, and finally landed firmly beside Dayu.

At this time, Dayu saw clearly that it was a large osmanthus leaf, and there was a boy standing on the leaf. But when I saw the boy who was six or seven years old, his face was like the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, his color was like the peach blossom of spring dawn, his eyebrows were like a painting, his eyes were like autumn water, his teeth were as white as jade, his lips were like Shi Zhu, his head was tied in a bun, he was dressed in a neon dress and feather coat, and a pair of white feather wings were born on his back. Very likable.

The angel boy walked down from the osmanthus leaves and saluted Dayu. said in his mouth: "Dayu is not harmed." I am an angel boy, on the order of the fairy Chang'e in the moon, I invite you to visit the Moon Palace, are you interested?"

Dayu never thought of being able to visit the Moon Palace, of course, he couldn't ask for it. Let's take a look at Xuan Gong and Huang Ge. The two of them slept soundly. The angel boy said, "Let them both have a sweet dream here, and we will be back before dawn." Besides, Fairy Chang'e only invites you alone. ”

Dayu said: "Okay, but how do we go? Do you want to go by the leaves of this osmanthus tree?" The angel boy said, "Let's go by boat." As he spoke, he pointed to the osmanthus leaf. Dayu looked at the big leaf again, and the edge of the leaf turned up, turning into the shape of a small boat. So the angel boy took Dayu into the leaf boat. Dayu sat in the middle of the boat, the angel boy stood beside Dayu, and the angel boy said: "Let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, Dayu felt that the boat had gently left the ground and rose smoothly to the sky. There was no pulp, no rudder, and no sails on the boat.

Dayu asked the angel boy: "How far is the road from the earth to the Moon Palace?" The angel boy replied: "If mortals want to go, they will not be able to walk in a lifetime." If the gods go, a stick of incense will be there. Dayu asked again: "Then how long will our boat go?" The angel boy said: "This is a fairy boat, as fast as the speed of the immortals, and it only takes a stick of incense to arrive."

The two of them talked one by one. The boat rose higher and higher, farther and farther away from the ground, and got closer and closer to the Moon Palace.

At the beginning, looking at Yunmengze under the moonlight from the small boat, it was like a sea. Sparkling, and looking at it again after a while, it only looks like a lake, shining with silver light. After a while, when I looked at it again, it was like a silver plate, and when I looked at it again, it was just like a pearl of the night.

Occasionally, a meteor passed by the side of the boat, and Dayu really wanted to reach out and grab one to see what this magical elf looked like. But when he stretched out his hand, he found that the meteor was too far away from him, and his arm couldn't reach it at all.

With a stick of incense, the boat has come to the sky above the Moon Palace. I saw that the peaks on the moon seemed to be made of white marble, emitting the brilliance of snow-capped mountains. Although the mountain is not tall and majestic, it is exquisite and beautiful. The ground glowed silvery-white, as if it was paved with broken silver. Most of the mountains in the Moon Palace are ring-shaped, large and small, like pieces of silver scale armor, covering the vast silver beach.

The boat landed on an open oasis. Dayu stepped off the boat and saw a tall osmanthus tree. The tree is thousands of feet tall, and the canopy covers a radius of several miles. The osmanthus tree is full of osmanthus flowers, and this osmanthus is also called the wood flower. Floral scent.

Dayu has never seen such a huge tree on the ground. I kept looking up, and my neck was sore. Dayu thought that the boat made of the leaves of the osmanthus tree he was riding just now must be the leaves on the osmanthus tree.

Look at the osmanthus tree again, there is a big man, too tall, in his thirties. A square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a strong figure. A short beard with sideburns. Wearing shorts and hexagrams. With a huge steel axe in hand, he went to chop down the thick osmanthus trunk. An axe cut down, and immediately cut out a deep gap in the osmanthus tree, but as soon as the axe was pulled out, the gap immediately grew and closed, and it was as complete as ever.

Under the osmanthus tree, there is indeed a white rabbit, the white rabbit holds a medicine pestle in his hand, and there is a stone mortar on the ground, the stone mortar contains herbs, and the white rabbit is there to concentrate on pounding the medicine, and there is no distraction.

There was a tall palace opposite, and out of the palace came a fairy with two maidens. Approaching, the angel boy told Dayu: "Dayu Gongzi, this is Fairy Chang'e, also called Fairy Chang'e." Fairy Chang'e smiled at Dayu and said, "Brother Dayu, it has always been good." ”

Dayu looked at the fairy Chang'e in front of him, and saw her tall figure, well-proportioned body, white face like jade, red lips like vermilion, moth eyebrows like dai, and her eyes looking forward to life. His hair is in a high bun, his manners are elegant, his clothes are luxurious, and he looks three points more beautiful and moving than the legends of the world.

Dayu hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Sister Chang'e is good." ”

Chang'e said: "During the day, some immortals came to Yunmeng Zeyun to meet you, and I originally wanted to go, but because when I took the elixir given by the Queen Mother of the West, I didn't have time to take the medicine primer. Therefore, the body is involuntarily self-controlled, and it cannot travel between heaven and earth as much as other gods and goddesses do. I have to wait for the evening, when the Moon Palace passes through the sky, I invite you to meet you in the Moon Palace. First, I invite you to take a tour of the Moon Palace and see for a long time. Second, I also want to spit out my bitterness to you, convey the truth of my flight to the moon to the world, and eliminate the world's misunderstanding of me. Brother Dayu, please go to the Guanghan Palace and sit down. ”

Dayu looked up, the towering and tall Guanghan Palace in front of him, it is really Qionglou Yuyu, carved fence jade, magnificent, and the weather is thousands. There are three jade carvings above the palace "Guanghan Palace"

Chang'e accompanied Dayu, walked into the Guanghan Palace, sat down, the maid offered fragrant tea, Dayu took it and smelled it, the fragrance was fragrant, refreshing.

Chang'e asked Dayu: "Brother Dayu, have you heard the story of Chang'e running to the moon?" Dayu replied: "I have heard that it is a beautiful legend of our Chinese nation, which is well-known to everyone." ”

Chang'e said: "The legend is beautiful, but some of the plots have been distorted. Some machismo literati are arrogant and arbitrarily belittle the image of our Chinese women in order to highlight men, and describe us women as 'good things', 'playthings', 'red faces and troubles', and so on.

Men make mistakes and also put the blame on women, saying that it is for the sake of women.

What's even more infuriating is that some sour literati said that because I "stole it" the elixir, I became a toad in the Moon Palace, that is, a toad. Therefore, they called the Moon Palace the Toad Palace, and the people who were on the list in the imperial examination were "Toad Palace".

Dayu said: "Legend has it that the fairy went to the moon and ascended to heaven because he stole the elixir given by the Queen Mother of the West, it turned out to be just a miscommunication?"

Chang'e said: "It is true that he ate the elixir given by the Queen Mother of the West and ascended to heaven, but he did not eat it secretly. To say that I secretly ate the elixir is to deliberately belittle me, and that is to slander me. I invite you to the Moon Palace today, just to tell you about my journey to the moon, and when you return to the world, it is good to correct my name in the world. ”
