The Legend of God

Chapter 31

Poetry:

King Wen was loyal to his ministers, benevolent and virtuous, and performed great work.People's strength does not teach the callus to be broken, and the money is often given to brocade wrapped in red.

Xiqi Sheji is like a rock, and King Zhou's country is like waves.谩 Dao, Mengjin, God's will, the flying bear has already passed through the dream.

It is said that King Wen listened to San Yisheng's words and showed the posters. All the gates of Xiqi were alarmed, and the soldiers and civilians came to compete to see the notices.I saw the letter saying:

The king of Xibowen ordered the soldiers and the people to know: the territory of Xiqi is the land of morality, there is no disturbance of war and violence, the people are safe and the things are rich, and the government is destroyed by lawsuits.Lonely because of being imprisoned, he was pardoned and returned to the country.Because of the frequent disasters and frequent disasters recently, the floods have been lost, and the investigation of the local area has proved the auspiciousness of the disaster, but there is no site for the altar.Yesterday, there was a corner of official land in the west of Guancheng, and I wanted to build a platform, called Lingtai, to take advantage of the weather and see the people's disasters.I'm also afraid that the civil engineering work will be too complicated, and it will hurt my military and civilian labor, so I give ICBC a penny a day for it.This work does not matter how close or distant it is, but it is up to the people: those who are willing to do the work will register their names in the register so that they can be checked;If you want to know, please inform the public.

It is said that all the soldiers and civilians in Xiqi, when they saw the notice, they all rejoiced, and said in unison: "The kindness of the king is like the sky, and there is no way to repay it. I will wait for the sunrise to play, and the sunset to return to my home. I will sit and enjoy the blessings of peace. That's all. It’s a gift from the king. Now the king wants to build a spiritual altar, but he still promises to pay the wages. Although we are heartbroken and our hands are weary, we are willing to do so. Besides, for our people to occupy the auspicious setting, how can we turn against the king’s work and silver?" All the soldiers and civilians in a county are happy and willing to contribute to building a platform.San Yisheng knew that the people's hearts were like this, so he reported this and entered the country, and Qi Zou Wen Wang said: "Since the army and the people have done this kind of righteous deed, they will pass on the decree to Sanyinliang." All the people received it.King Wen said to San Yisheng: "You can choose an auspicious day to break ground and start construction." All the people worked hard to move mud and earth, cut wood and build platforms.It is exactly: the sunlight flickers outside the window, and the flowers and shadows in front of the banquet move.Another way is: When you walk, you can see the fallen flowers all over the ground, and the yellow chrysanthemums bloom in the east fence in an instant.It was only ten months before the Lingtai was built, and the foreman came to report that the work was completed.King Wen was overjoyed, and accompanied many civil and military officials to Pai Luanyu out of Guo, and went to Lingtai to watch.The carved beams and painted buildings, the majestic platform and masonry are really a grand sight.There is a Fu as evidence, Fu said:

The platform is two feet high, and the potential is based on three talents.The upper part is divided into eight trigrams and yin and yang, and the lower part is nine palaces to determine dragon and tiger.The four corners have the shapes of four seasons, and the left and right stand the images of heaven and earth.The righteousness of the monarch and his ministers before and after, surrounded by the atmosphere of wind and cloud.On this platform, it is in harmony with the heart of heaven, and it is in harmony with the people of the earth.Shanghe Tianxin corresponds to the four o'clock, Xiahedi belongs to the five elements, and Zhongheren's wishes are in good weather.King Wen is virtuous, making all things brighter; a sage governs affairs, and feels everything without rebellion.Since then, the Lingtai has set up the king's foundation, and has testified and supported the emperor.It is exactly: governing the country, the country is flourishing, and today Lingtai is better than Lutai.

It is said that Wen Wang accompanied two classes of Wen and Wu, went up to the Lingtai, and looked around, but Wen Wang was silent.From time to time, San Yisheng, a senior doctor, came out of the class and said: "Why is the king unhappy when the Lingtai is completed today?" King Wen said: "It is not displeased. Although this platform is good, there is less than a pond under the platform, in response to the 'water and fire. , to match the meaning of yin and yang'. I want to open the pond again, but I am afraid that it will hurt the people's strength, so I am depressed." San Yisheng said: "The work of Lingtai is very huge, and it will be completed in a short time. It's very easy to do." Yisheng hurriedly passed on the king's decree: "Open another pond under the stage, in response to the meaning of 'water and fire are both good'." Before the words were finished, all the people shouted: "What is the small pond? Is it impossible, and you have to worry about it?" Everyone will bring spades and hoes to pick and dig for a while.A pair of dead bones were picked out, and everyone threw them in all directions.King Wen was on the stage and saw everyone throwing away the dead bones.The king asked, "What are the people throwing away?" The left and right Qizuo said: "A pair of human bones are sticking up here, and everyone is throwing them away." King Wen hurriedly delivered an order, ordering everyone: "Take the dry bones and put them in one place. Put it in a box and bury it in the land of Gaofu. Is it possible to expose this skeleton because of being alone in the swamp? It is really a crime of being alone." Hearing this, the crowd shouted: "The virtuous king, the marsh and the dry bones, What's more, we and the people don't benefit from the rain and dew? It's really benevolence and righteousness, the way is in line with the heart of heaven, and the people of Xiqi have parents." All the people cheered.

Because King Wen was watching the digging of the marsh pond at the Lingtai, he didn't realize that it was getting late and he couldn't drive back in time.King Wen held a banquet on the altar with Wen Wu, and the monarch and his ministers enjoyed together.After the banquet was over, Wen and Wu rested under the stage, and King Wen set up an embroidered couch to sleep on the stage.At three o'clock, just in the dream, I may see a white-fronted tiger in the southeast, with wings growing from its flanks, rushing towards the tent.King Wen hurriedly called to the left and right, only to hear a loud sound from behind the stage, and the flames shot into the sky.King Wen woke up with a start; he was frightened and sweated all over.Listening to the three shifts under the stage, King Wen thought to himself: "How auspicious is the owner of this dream, and we will discuss it after dawn." There is a poem saying:

King Wen ruled the country and built a spiritual platform, and Wen Wu Qiangqiang escorted him here.Suddenly seeing the dead bones in the swamp, he ordered Gao Fu to be buried quickly.

Monarchs and ministers share the joy of passing on cups and cups, and night dreams and flying bears rush to the sea of ​​tents.Since then, the dragon and the tiger have met, and Xiqi has become a pillar.

It is said that the next morning, civil and military came to power, and the visit was over.King Wen said: "Where is Yisheng, the doctor?" Yisheng came out of the class, and when he saw the ceremony, he said: "What is the call?" He came rushing from the tent, and shouted anxiously to the left and right, only to see the fire behind the stage soaring into the sky, and there was a loud sound, waking up was just a dream. I don’t know what is good or bad about this omen.” San Yisheng bowed and said in congratulations: “This dream is a great auspicious omen for the king. The lord king wins the ministers of the pillars and the guests of the great sages, and he really does not let the queen of the wind and the right of Yi Yin." King Wen said: "Why do you see this?" Yisheng said: "In the past, Emperor Gaozong of the Shang Dynasty once had a flying bear in his dream, and he got Fu said Between the boards. Today, the lord dreamed that the tiger with wings was a bear, and he saw the fire behind the stage, which was the image of a fire-forged object. Today, the west belongs to gold, and gold will be forged when it sees fire, and it will become a great tool when it is forged and baked. This is a great sign of prosperity for the Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, I am very pleased to congratulate you." After hearing this, all the officials said their congratulations together.King Wen passed the decree back to drive, and he wanted to visit the sages, so he didn't mention it in response to this omen.

It is also said that since Jiang Ziya abandoned Chaoge and Ma Clan, Tudun rescued the residents, hid in Fenxi, and fished in Weishui.Ziya insists on keeping time and life, regardless of leisure or nonsense, he recites "Huang Ting" every day to realize Taoism and practice truth.If you are bored, you can fish with silk fibers and lean on green willows.I always have Kunlun in my heart, always remember to follow my teacher, never forget my morality, and hang on day and night.One day, holding the pole and sighing, he wrote a poem:

Since farewell to Kunlun, suddenly two or four years.Shangdu has been in glory for half a year, and he directly remonstrates in front of the king.

Abandoned but returned to the West, Fenxi took the lead in fishing.When will you meet Allah, and see the sky again through the clouds.

Ziya finished his poem and sat under the weeping willow.I saw the torrential water, endlessly, traveling eastward all night, enduring the world for eternity.It is exactly: only the green mountains and flowing waters are still there, and it has been empty throughout the ages.After Ziya sighed, only one person came to sing:

Climbing mountains and ridges, cutting lumber.Take the ax with you, and chop the withered vines.The rabbit walks in front of the cliff, and the deer cries behind the mountain.Different birds in the treetops, yellow warblers outside the willows.I saw some green pines and junipers, Li Bai and peach red.A worry-free woodcutter is better than a waist of gold.One stone of firewood, three liters of rice.Vegetables at any time, buy a bottle of wine.Invite the moon to drink, enjoy the lonely forest.The mountains are secluded, and the valleys are silent.Exotic flowers and plants invade each other day by day.Free and easy, freely.

After the woodcutter sang, he put down a load of firewood, took a short rest near him, and asked Ziya, "Old man, I often see you here, fishing with a pole. You and I are like a story." Ziya said, "What is it like?" Story?" The woodcutter said, "I and you are like a fisherman asking and answering." Ziya was overjoyed: "What a fisherman asking and answering!" The woodcutter said, "Your surname is your name? Why did you come here?" Ziya said "I am from Xuzhou in the East China Sea. My surname is Jiang, my first name is Shang, my courtesy name is Ziya, and my Taoist name is Feixiong." After hearing this, the woodcutter couldn't stop laughing.Ziya asked Qiaozi, "Who is your surname?" Qiaozi said, "My surname is Wu Mingji, and my ancestor is from Xiqi." Ziya said, "You just heard my name, and you laughed Why?" Wu Ji said: "You just said that you were called Feixiong, so you have this smile." Ziya said: "Everyone has his own name, why do you laugh?" The woodcutter said: "At that time, the ancients, the masters, the saints, A sage, with tens of thousands of dendrobium pearls hidden in his chest, and boundless beauty hidden in his belly, such as Feng Hou, Lao Peng, Fu Shuo, Chang Sang, Yi Yin and others, they are called by their names. It seems that you also have this name. The name is not true, so I laugh at my ears .I often see you hanging silk with green willows. You have nothing to do. You sit on the stalk and wait for the rabbit. Looking at this clear wave, you have no knowledge and insight, so why are you also called the Taoist name?" After Wu Ji said, he picked up the fishing rod by the stream, and saw One stitch on the thread without twist.The woodcutter clapped his palms and laughed, nodding to Ziya and sighing, "Wisdom lies not in being old, but in vain talk of a hundred years." The woodcutter asked Ziya, "Why is your fishing line not crooked? As the old saying goes:' Let’s use fragrant bait to catch golden turtles. I will teach you a method. Heat the needle red with fire and make it into a hook shape. Use fragrant bait on it and float on the thread. The fish will swallow it. The float will automatically know when the fish arrives. Lift it up and hook the gills of the fish to get carp. This is the way to catch fish. Like this kind of fishing, let alone three years, even a hundred years, you will not catch a single fish! It can be seen that your wisdom is foolish and foolish. From the flying bear." Ziya said: "You only know one, but not the other. I am here, although the name is fishing, I am not interested in fishing. I am here only to guard the blue clouds to find the way, to pull the shadows and soar into the sky, Is it possible to take fish from the music? It is not what the husband does. I would rather take the fish from the straight than seek from the music. I would not set it up for Jinlin, but only fish for kings and lords. I have a poem to prove it:

Guard Fenxi with a short pole and a long line, how can this institution know.Only fishing for the king and minister of the dynasty, why do you intend to fish in the water. "

After hearing this, Wu Ji laughed and said, "You also want to be a prince? Look at your face, you don't look like a prince, but a living monkey." Ziya also laughed and said, "You don't look like my face. Wang Hou, I don't see anything good about your face." Wu Ji said: "My face is better than yours. Although I am a woodcutter, I am happier than you. I look at peaches and apricots in spring, play with lotus red in summer, look at yellow chrysanthemums in autumn, and look at yellow chrysanthemums in winter. Appreciating plum pine. I also have poems:
Carrying firewood and selling goods on the long street, selling wine and returning home, mother and son are happy.Logging only knows how to operate the music, and let the world turn around and watch it at home. "

Ziya said: "It's not such a face. I don't think the complexion on your face is good." Wu Ji said: "What do you think about my complexion?" Go to the city today and beat people to death." Wuji listened, and scolded him, "I'm joking with you, why do you hurt people?"

Wuji picks up the firewood and goes to Xiqi city to sell it.Unconsciously, I went to the south gate, but I met King Wen's car driving to Lingtai to take a good omen of disaster.Accompanying Wenwu out of the city, the guards on both sides of the guards shouted: "A thousand years old, come here, don't come." Wuji came to the south gate with a load of firewood.The road in the market is narrow, and the firewood was exchanged for the shoulders. Unknowingly, the head collapsed, the sharp pole was turned over, and the king of the gate was killed immediately.People on both sides yelled, "The woodcutter has killed the door army!" Immediately seize it and come to see King Wen.King Wen said: "Who is this man?" Both sides played: "Your Majesty is a thousand years old, this woodcutter killed the king of the army for some reason." King Wen asked immediately: "What is the name of the woodcutter? Why did he kill Wang Xiang?" " Wuji Qi said: "The villain is a good citizen of Xiqi, called Wuji. Because he saw the king coming, the road was narrow, so he exchanged firewood for his shoulders and injured the king by mistake." King Wen said: "Since Wuji killed the king, he should be killed. ” Immediately, he painted the ground at the south gate as a prison, erected a tree as an official, and imprisoned Wuji here.King Wen went to Lingtai.In Zhou Dynasty, the ground was painted as a prison, and only Xiqi had this matter.There are forbidden prisons in the east, south, and north even Chaoge, but in Xiqi, because of the number of kings inborn, there is no difference between misfortune and good fortune, so the people dare not escape.Therefore, the earth is painted as a prison, and the people dare not escape.But when the mortals left, King Wen played the innate number, calculated it, and doubled the punishment, so that the naughty people would obey the law.Therefore, it is said: painting the earth as prison.

Let's say that Wuji was banned for three days and was not allowed to go home.Wu Jisi: "My mother has no support, so I must rely on my Lu to look at her. Besides, I don't know that I will be punished." Because of thinking about his mother, he burst into tears, and passers-by looked around.At that time, San Yisheng was passing by the south gate, and suddenly saw Wu Ji crying out in great pain.San Yisheng asked: "You were the one who beat Wang Xiang to death the day before yesterday. It is reasonable to pay for your life. Why are you crying?" Ande complained. But the villain has a mother, who is more than seventy years old. The villain has no brothers, no brothers, and no wife. The mother is old and alone, and she will starve to death in the ditch. When my mother died, I thought about it to the bone, and dared not speak of the pain. The villain had no choice but to cry loudly. I didn’t know how to avoid it. If I committed a crime against the doctor, I hope to pray for forgiveness.” San Yisheng listened and pondered for a long time: “If you talk about Wuji beating the king to death Apparently, it wasn't a fight that killed or wounded people, but picking firewood by mistake, and hurting people's lives, there is no reason for compensation." Yisheng said: "Wu Ji don't cry, I'm going to see Chitose, open a copy, let you go back, and deal with you Mother's clothes, coffin, firewood and rice to keep her healthy, you can wait until autumn to rectify the law of the country." Wu Ji kowtowed: "Thank you for the grace of the Lord." Yisheng entered the hall one day, and saw Wen Dynasty's congratulations.San Yisheng wrote: "Your Majesty, Wuji injured the king's life the day before yesterday and was imprisoned at the south gate. When I went to the south gate, I suddenly saw Wuji crying bitterly. I asked why. Wuji said that there was an old mother who was more than seventy years old. One person, Kuang Ji, had no brothers or wives, and his mother had nothing to look forward to. Ji was imprisoned by the state law, and he could not get out. Missing his mother would become a ghost in the ditch, so he cried loudly. Chen Si, Wang Xiang's life was not a fight, but it is true. It was an accidental injury, Kuang Wuji's mother was widowed and single, and she didn't know that her son was in prison. According to my ignorance, I let Wuji go home to pay for the adoptive mother's expenses. After the money for the coffin and quilt is completed, I will pay for the king's order. Your Majesty's will Decide." King Wen listened to Yisheng's words and followed suit: "Let Wuji go home quickly." The poem said:
King Wen went out to examine the Lingtai, and Wuji carried firewood to cause trouble.Wang Xiang died under the sharp burden, and his teeth turned eighty.

It is said that Wu Ji was released from prison, and he was so homesick, he rushed back.I saw my mother leaning on her Lu and looking at Wuji. When she saw Wuji coming back, she hurriedly asked, "My son, why have you come these few days? My mother is at home, and I am restless at dawn and night. I am afraid that you will be hurt by tigers and wolves in the deep mountains and poor valleys." , so that my mother is in suspense and fear, forgetting to eat and sleep. Seeing you today, my heart is down. I don’t know what happened to you, so you came back today?” Wu Ji cried and bowed to the ground and said: “Mother, the child is unfortunate, the day before yesterday went south I sold firewood at the door, and when King Wen arrived, I picked up firewood and dodged it, collapsed the pole, and killed the king of the door, and King Wen imprisoned the child. I think my mother is at home, and there is no news, no relatives, single Only a shadow, no one to take care of it, will become a ghost in the ravine, so weep loudly. Thanks to the senior doctor, Master San Yisheng, who inspired King Wen, let me go home, buy your clothes, coffin, rice grains, etc., take care of it, and the child will die To repay the order of the king. Mother, it is useless for you to raise me." After saying that, he burst into tears.When the mother heard that her son was killed and loved so much, she was out of her wits, grabbed Wu Ji, swallowed in grief, and sighed to the sky: "My son has been loyal for half his life, and he has not cheated. My filial mother keeps her mark. Today What is the fault of heaven and earth for being caught in this trap? My son, you are late, how can a mother have a life!" Wu Ji said: "The day before yesterday, my child was carrying firewood to Fenxi, and saw an old man holding firewood. Fishing with a pole. There is a needle tied to the line, fishing there. The child asked him: "Why don't you bend it and use a fragrant bait to fish?" Jin Lin, only catch princes.' The boy laughed at him. You want to be a prince too. Your face doesn't look like a prince, but a living monkey. The old man looked at the boy and said, "I don't think your face Good.' I asked him, what's wrong with me. The old man said, 'My left eye is blue, and my right eye is red. I will definitely kill someone today.' It was true that Wang Xiang was killed that day. I think the old man's mouth It's very poisonous, and it's abominable to think about it." His mother asked Ji, "What is the name of the old man?" Wu Ji said, "The old man's surname is Jiang, his name is Shang, his name is Ziya, and his Taoist name is Feixiong. Because he said his name, my son That's why he laughed at him, that's why he said such nonsense." The old mother said: "This old good man, does he have foresight? My son, this old man, you still go to ask him to save you. This old man must be an expert." Wu Ji listened Mother ordered to pack up and go to Fenxi to see Ziya.I don't know what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter.
