Chapter 137: Water Mirror Village
The secret that had been hidden for decades was thought to be brought into the coffin, but at this time he finally found the person who entrusted him, this Sima Gan was very excited and talked endlessly, what Lin Yi could do was to be a serious listener, and after more than half an hour, he finally learned about one of the stories.
From the conversation between the Xianbei man and woman, he had already learned that this was the feng shui in Sima's hometown and was arranged by Sima Wei, the water mirror, but he didn't expect that this Sima Wei was the same as him, and he was also a cultivator.
Mr. Shuijing's name is Sima Wei, although he has the same surname as Sima, but he is not of the same clan as Sima Yi, and this Sima Wei is not Sima Wei's queen.
Sima Hui, the word Decao, Mr. Shuijing, a native of Yingchuan Yangzhai (now Yuzhou, Henan), is known for his knowledge, is a famous hermit in the late Eastern Han Dynasty of China, and a famous warlock in the Three Kingdoms period.
In the last years of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Sima Hui, who had the talent of helping the world, was unwilling to use his talents for the time, he was silent and stubborn, and was willing to live in Yang Zhai's hometown and live a living. Baume & Mercier Pound sent the number "Mr. Water Mirror". Since he never talks about other people's shortcomings, others talk to him, no matter whether it is good or bad, they all say good. Therefore, later generations called him "Mr. Good". His talent has never been displayed, and his life has been lost. Hui usually never discusses others, and if someone asks him, he doesn't judge him, but always says good, good, good. Therefore, on the surface, this Sima Wei is a person who says everything well, does not pay attention to principles, and only seeks to escape from the world.
At that time, Hui and Xiangyang celebrity Pang Degong were friendly, Degong's nephew Pang Tong, the word Shiyuan, the young man was simple and sincere, no one knew that he was a genius, and only Degong was very important. When Pang Tong was eighteen years old, he went to Yingchuan to meet Hui in the name of Degong, and the two interacted very speculatively. At the end, Hui praised: "You are really a talented and virtuous person, and you should be called "the first famous person in Jiangnan". After that, Pang Tong's fame was greatly displayed in the world. Thus. Hui does have the wisdom of knowing people.
Liu Bei visited him and asked about major events in the world, but he was resolute and very positive when he recommended Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. He said: "Confucian and layman, how can they know the affairs of the times? Those who know the affairs of the times care about the handsome. Here from the dragon, phoenix chicks. Liu Bei asked who it was? He said, "Zhuge Kongming, Pang Shiyuan." So Sima Hui recommended Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to Liu Bei, saying: "Wolong and Fengxiao, the two of them have one, and they can settle the world." ”
Liu Bei wanted to ask Sima Hui to go out of the mountains to help, but Sima Hui claimed to be an idler in the mountains and wilderness, and he was useless to the world. declined the invitation, and then Sima Hui recommended Xu Shu to find Liu Bei, Liu Bei knew that Xu Shu was a genius, and recognized him as a military advisor, and then recommended by Xu Shu, Liu Bei knew Wolong Zhuge Fang, so it led to the eternal story of "Three Visits to the Thatched House".
These are all things that are recorded in the official history and known to women and children. The story behind it is so surprising. It turned out that although Mr. Sima Wei and Sima Yi were out of the Five Lakes, they were people of the same clan and clan. It's an uncle-nephew relationship.
Sima Yi's county Wangwen County and Sima Wei's county Wangyingchuan are only a hundred miles apart, and the Sima clan of Wenxian County and the Sima clan of Yingchuan are the same ancestor, both of which are after Sima Wei, the king of Yin. At that time, Sima Yi's grandfather, Sima Jun, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, served as the Taishou of Yingchuan. This Yingchuan is the hometown of this Sima Wei, and the relationship between them is that they recognized their ancestors and returned to their ancestors at this time.
However, this Sima Wei is an unpredictable prophet, and he expects that the world will be in chaos soon, and this Wen County Sima clan is a big clan in Hanoi. And he will also survive in the cracks of all forces, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, so he did not disclose the relationship.
So that's for the sake of that. No wonder this Sima Wei is so dedicated to helping this Sima Yi secretly. This Sima Wei is the first hermit master of the Three Kingdoms, and Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu are all his senior disciples.
But all this is just this superficial phenomenon, the real existence of this Water Mirror Village turned out to be this sect of cultivation, and this Water Mirror Mr. Sima Wei's cultivation has already reached the realm of soaring clouds and fog, flying sand and stones.
The former site of Shuijingzhuang is located at the foot of Yuxi Mountain in present-day Nanzhang County, Hubei Province. It is rumored that its Water Mirror Village specializes in cultivating strange people in the world. Each member was regarded as the most outstanding military advisor of his time, and as such, the princes of all sides sought to recruit them in order to serve themselves, but most of them acted only on their own will, beliefs, and ideals, and were not subject to any form of intimidation or inducement. This folklore is indeed true, and it is by no means groundless.
Shuijingzhuang is also known as the White Horse Cave. It is 1 km outside the south gate of Nanzhang County. Leaning on Yuxi Mountain, the mountains are stacked with green, and the Yi water is below, and the spring is murmuring. There is a natural stone room at the cliff on the mountainside, there is a rock cave between the knife cutting stone wall, it is said that a white horse often enters and exits the cave, and it is called "white horse cave" in ancient times. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the celebrity Sima Hui moved here to avoid the war in the north, and the nickname "Mr. Shuijing", "Shuijingzhuang" was named after it.
In 206 AD, Liu Bei Xiangyang was killed, Ma Yuetanxi came to Shuijingzhuang, and met Sima Hui in Shuijingzhuang, Sima Hui recommended to him "Fulong and Phoenix Chicks, two people get one, but the world can be safe", which led to the stories of "Three Visits to the Thatched House", "Longzhong Pair", etc., the Three Kingdoms are established, and Sima Hui is notorious.
It is said that Sima Wei's friend Pang Degong, who was also a famous hermit at that time, held a drinking party in Lumen Mountain, and all friends sang or chanted, which was very lively. Sima Hui talks about the past and the present, and his words are free and extraordinary, which makes the audience silent and respectful. Pang Degong raised his glass and stepped forward and said: "Mr. Mathematics is like flowing water, and the water is clear like a mirror. Since then, the name of "Water Mirror" has been famous in the Central Plains, and the secluded White Horse Cave is also known as "Water Mirror Village".
From the bottom of the mountain to the entrance of the cave, it is about ten meters high, and the stone steps paved with bluestone slabs lead to the city wall around the mountain. This hole is about 30 meters deep, about 8 meters high, about 8 meters wide, according to legend, there are white horses often in and out of this hole, so it is called White Horse Cave, also called Holy Horse Cave. The wind and rain in the cave do not come, warm in winter and cool in summer. There are stone tables, stone benches, and stone beds in the cave, where you can read, play the piano, and sleep soundly, and the ancient meaning is very strong. The entrance to the cave is wide and narrow, and it is shaped like a large trumpet. In those days, Mr. Shui Jing often stroked the piano in the cave, and the sound of the piano was transmitted between the mountains, forests and ravines through the echo of the rock wall, which was very interesting.
Back in the day, the breezy and skinny Sima Hui was dressed in ancient costumes, wearing a long sword, playing chess on the piano here, chanting poems and paintings, and drinking wine in the wind, so a hermit style who was free and easy. I don't know how many Chinese literati have been affected by this leisurely and elegant meaning. Even deep in the hearts of Chinese scholars, there is not such a picture of mountain and forest life!
In the water mirror village, there are mostly pavilion-style buildings, the eaves are volleying, the air is lofty, the golden window is repaired, and the Zhuliang painting is built. Sima Hui, Pang Degong and students Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Pang Tong and others have elegant demeanor, often playing chess and piano here. The style of the courtyard is quaint and simple, with blue bricks and tiles, reflecting green trees and red flowers, which is very picturesque. The courtyard is shaded by green trees, fragrant flowers and birds, elegant and quiet.
Legend has it that Mr. Shuijing cut candles and talked with Liu Bei in this Shuijing Village. At that time, one was Mr. Shui Jing, who waved his hand to discuss the situation, the other was Uncle Liu Huang, who listened attentively with his hand on the hilt of his sword, one was Lin Quan Gaoshi, the other was a hero in distress, one was a sincere recommendation, and the other was an open-minded listener. If it weren't for this long talk, how could Liu Bei get the help of Wolong and Fengxiao, how could he get out of trouble and rise quickly?
At that time, Sima Gan lived and studied here for a period of time, and he knew the situation of this Shuijingzhuang at a glance and remembered it vividly. But when Sima Gan entered the water mirror village to learn art, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and other senior brothers had already gone down the mountain.
According to Sima Gan's description, Lin Yi had already found out that this Water Mirror Village was not just a paradise, but it was the legendary cave blessed land. It's just such a small spiritual land, ordinary people are naturally able to meet but not seek, since this Sima Gan due to poor talent, not good at learning, after leaving this Water Mirror Village, this Water Mirror Village seems to have disappeared from this world.
Later, he went deep into Nanzhang many times and followed the route in his memory to find this water mirror village. It's just a pity that things are wrong, the mountains are still the same mountains, the water is still the same water, but there is no trace of the White Horse Cave, only strange rocks are left everywhere. Therefore, this Sima Gan believes that this Sima Wei is the legendary immortal, and that Shuijingzhuang is the legendary immortal cave, which is naturally available but not sought.
However, because of this incident, Sima Gan began to be obsessed with the world, dreaming of being out of the dust, asking immortals everywhere and asking, Huainan An Liu An became his target, but unfortunately he should not be exploited by this Xianbei demon later. (To be continued......)
