The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 388 Depressed Ecstasy

The Three Gorges are seven hundred miles long, but Wu Gorge is long.

The heavy rock is not very strong, and the overlapping mountains are Ling Cangcang.

——"Wu Gorge" Yang Jiong (Tang Dynasty)
……

The rebellion at Anlu Mountain shook the Japanese government and the public, and they all agreed that this was an opportunity to avenge the battle of Baijiangkou and for Amaterasu to shine on China.

Therefore, Japan sent many warriors and assassin hermits to infiltrate the Tang Dynasty to survey the topography, spy on military intelligence, steal various materials such as martial arts cheats, weapons and ordnance manufacturing, craftsman methods, etc., and search for rare treasures, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc. national treasure.

This volume of "Wuhou Shence" in the hands of Hojoemon is similar to "Shan Hai Jing".Detailed textual research and analysis of famous mountains and rivers, ghosts and elves, strange events and so on.It even mentioned a lot of legendary secret treasures.

The Emperor of Japan had a strong interest in these secret treasures. He used Anlu Mountain to rebel and the Central Plains was in turmoil. When the Tang court had no time to take care of it, he sent Hojoemon and other Fusang warriors who knew Fengshui to sneak into the Central Plains again, robbed tombs, and searched for secret places. treasure.

The Kuimen Golden Cave is the burial place of the first generation of Ba Wang in ancient times. According to legend, the first generation of Ba Wang was a flying fairy from the sky, with the supernatural powers of heaven and earth, and unpredictable gods and ghosts.

Hojoemon deduced from this that there must be a large number of valuable funerary objects in the cave.Unexpectedly, after opening the coffin, Ba-Wang would come back to life with his dead body!Hojoemon did not expect it, leading to the annihilation of the entire army.

When Zhuge Wuhou went to Shu from the Three Gorges, he was very curious to see the hanging coffins in Chifengxiang Gorge on the north bank of Qutang Gorge and Tieguan Gorge on the south bank of Xiling Gorge.He did a detailed textual research on the hanging coffins in the Three Gorges, and recorded his thoughts in "Wuhou Shence".

Marquis Zhuge Wu was also worried that the hanging coffin was too cloudy and ghosts turned into demons to cause chaos, so he engraved the mantras of Liujia Mizhu and other mantras to communicate with ghosts and gods in heaven and earth, and seal demons and ghosts in the "book box" of Chijiashan in Qutang Gorge and the book of war in Zigui, Xiling Gorge. Baojian Gorge.

Regardless of the dissuasion of the ancestors, the later generations were greedy for profit, and in order to steal the treasures of the coffin, they did not hesitate to destroy the seal and lift the spell of the mantra.

……

Hojoemon provided a lot of valuable information. If the Japanese succeeded, the damage to Datang would be no less than that of the Anlushan Rebellion.

Bai Fu didn't dare to delay, Fei Ge passed on the letter, and immediately contacted the Chuan Gang.

After Jiang Yinnong received Bai Fu's secret report, he attached great importance to it, and immediately sent Zhang Fen, the deputy leader of the Sichuan Gang, to come to meet him.Bai Fu handed Hojo Weimon to Zhang Fen with his own hands.

Zhang Fen and Bai Fu are old friends for many years, they haven't seen each other for a long time, they are very kind.It was Zhang Fen who led the team back then, leading Bashu disciples to Chang'an to participate in the martial arts.Over the past few years, many people and things have changed a lot.The Bashu disciples who entered the Huben army seemed to be absent, only Bai Fu and Li Xuexuan stood out.

It can be seen that God educates people, far and deep.

Seeing Bai Fu go from an ignorant boy to a weak crown, wise and heroic, free and unrestrained, like a well-known hidden sword, once it is unsheathed, the sword will shine.Zhang Fen was filled with emotions for a moment.

Bai Fu handed over to Zhang Fen the golden mask of the elephant-nosed giant, "Wuhou Divine Strategy" and other items and scrolls.These things were all found from Hojoemon, and they are extremely valuable to the Chuanbang and Tangmen.

Zhang Fen accepted the "Wuhou Divine Strategy" and other items, but returned the golden mask to Bai Fu.Zhang Fen said with a smile: "When I came, the Clan Master had his own orders. He said that you have received many opportunities, which shows that you have God's will. Since the golden mask is the two magic weapons buried with the king of Yuanba, it must be extraordinary.

Only by staying here with you can we discover the mystery and exert the supreme magic power. "

Bai Fu was deeply moved by Jiang Yinnong's confidence and love for Bai Fu.

After finishing their official duties, the two of them set up a banquet, babbled about homework, and talked all night long, singing songs about wine, so happy.

Early the next morning, Bai Fu said goodbye to Zhang Fen and other disciples of the Sichuan Clan, Yiyi, and set off.

……

Bai Fu's boat sailed past Kuimen again, looking at the looming golden cave on the top of the cliff, Bai Fu felt emotional, and wondered what happened to King Yuanguba locked in the coffin of the boat, whether the seal was firm or not?Will he break out of the coffin again at some point in the future and come out to make trouble.

With a thought, Bai Fu took out the golden mask of the elephant-nosed giant, looked around, and found nothing abnormal.Bai Fu secretly said: "I'm afraid I will fail Uncle Jiang's love this time."

……

Not a day later, Bai Fu took a boat to Wu Gorge.

Wu Gorge is beautiful and deep, famous for its winding scenery.It has deep gorges, long valleys, steep cliffs, abrupt peaks, jagged rocks, and twists and turns of the river.

In the boat gorge, sometimes Pingshan is in front of you, and there is no way to see the stone block;

There is a poem that says: Badong Three Gorges Wu Gorge is long, the ape cries three times and tears stain the clothes.

Bai Fu stood on the deck, as if in a fairyland, ecstatic.

Ruan Zhouxing pointed to the mountains and said, "Young Master Bai, on both sides of the canyon are the famous twelve peaks of Wushan, from west to east they are Denglong, Shengquan, Chaoyun, Shennv, Songluan, and Jixian.

There are also six peaks on the south bank. Because Jingtan, Qiyun, and Rising Peaks do not face the river, you can only see Feifeng, Cuiping, and Juhe when looking from the river.

Among the twelve peaks, Shennv Peak is the most famous. There is a tall and beautiful stone pillar on the peak, which looks like a slim girl.Legend has it that the Goddess is Yao Ji, the youngest daughter of the Queen Mother of the West. When she passed Wushan, she saw the flood raging, so she helped Dayu control the water, cut stones, clear waves, break the fortress, and guide the flood, so as to follow its flow.

After the flood subsided, Yao Ji couldn't let go of the people in the Three Gorges. In order to bless the safety of the boat and pray for a good year, she stood on the mountain and looked at the rosy clouds. As time went on, she turned into a goddess peak. "

The story of Goddess Peak is well known to the children of the Three Gorges.

Bai Fuchu didn't take it seriously at first, and only listened to it as the good wishes of the local people.Seeing Ruan Zhouxing's speech was frothy and full of enthusiasm, he couldn't bear to interrupt.

Bai Fu bathed his body and mind in the mist, immersed in his own world.When Bai Fu suddenly heard the words 'Da Yu controls the water', his thoughts moved.

The Bronze Eight Tripods were discovered by accident when Dayu was controlling the water.It can be seen that there are many real elements in the story of Dayu's flood control.Based on this inference, the story of the goddess Yao Ji is not true? !
Bai Fu raised his head to look at the Goddess Peak, and saw a huge boulder protruding from the clouds on the Qingfeng Peak, like a graceful girl.

At this time, the clouds and smoke surround the peak, and the girl looks like she is wearing tulle and holding a crown belt, which is more delicate and timeless, elegant and elegant.The sadness of looking back is like the snow on the top of Emei.

Bai Fu took out the bamboo flute from his bosom and stroked it for a long time.The emerald green bamboo flute was a gift from Li Xuexuan when they parted.

Bai Fu stands alone on the bow of the boat, his clothes are flying, and his jade flute is blowing horizontally, impromptu.

The sound of the flute lingers mellowly, going deeper and deeper.If you want to fly across the waves, the snow will crush the bridge and there will be no way.

Bai Fu sighed, and in the shadow of the apricot blossoms, the sound of the flute faded away.

……

Ruan Zhouxing didn't know why, tears streaming down his face, he couldn't help himself.When he was parting, he asked Bai Fu for the score, and gave the piece a name - "Desolation and Ecstasy".

……

Decades later, when the poet Yuan Zhen visited Wu Gorge at night, the moon was as cool as water, and he heard the captain of the boat, Ruan, play "Desolation and Ecstasy".Yuan Zhen, like Ruan Zhouxing today, burst into tears, heartbroken, and wrote a famous mourning poem passed down through the ages:
once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking.

Take a look at the flowering lazy, half-edge monastic half-edge.

　Within [-] miles of the Three Gorges, there are mountains on both sides of the river, and there is no shortage of places.Heavy rocks piled on top of each other, hiding the sky and blocking out the sun. Since Feiting is midnight, the sun and the moon are not seen.

　　As for Xiashui Xiangling, it is blocked along the way.Or the king's order is announced urgently, sometimes the morning dispatches to Baidi, and evening arrives at Jiangling. This middle is more than [-] miles away, even if I ride fast to the imperial wind, it won't be too fast.

　　In spring and winter, there are plains and green pools, with clear reflections, and there are many strange cypresses, hanging springs and waterfalls, flying to rinse them, clear and magnificent, and a lot of fun.

　　Every day when the sun is clear and the first frost comes, the forest is cold and the stream is solemn, and there are often high apes shouting and screaming, which is strange, and the sound is heard in the empty valley, and the sorrow will last for a long time.Therefore, the fisherman's song said: "The Wu Gorge in the Three Gorges of Badong is long, and the apes cry three times and tears stain their clothes."
