Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 193 The Legend of Leidongping
I looked at the figure of Chu Kuang going away, and sighed slightly, the world is so big, there are really all kinds of people, if Chu Kuang is not for his strength, he probably would have been dismissed with his ability to cause trouble. People were slaughtered.

At this moment, the Cao siblings came over, and Cao Jinbao said, "Brother Chen, thank you just now."

I smiled and said: "There is nothing to thank, that guy is really annoying, I have long since disliked him."

Several people talked for a while, and Monk Yuanming also saw the scene just now, and his attitude towards us changed a little.After talking to him about staying overnight, a group of people rushed towards Hongchun Temple, and the Buddha-nature Yuantong seemed to have realized something in the battle with the demon-nature himself just now, but he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. After Hongchun Temple, they flew directly towards the direction of the Seven Thousand Buddha Lotus Lantern.

Afterwards, Monk Yuanming arranged several guest rooms for us to rest in. It was already past midnight. The exhaustion of the day’s journey and the battle in the sky made everyone exhausted. They didn’t talk too much. Blindfolded.

I didn't talk all night, until the sun's rays enveloped the earth again the next day, I got up from the bed in a daze, washed my face and regained my energy, and then joined the others.

At the invitation of Monk Yuanming, we had a fast meal in the monastery, which tasted really special.Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, I looked at Yuan Ming who was silent beside me, and asked, "Master Yuan Ming, I want to ask you a question, is it convenient?"

Monk Yuanming was startled, and said, "Please tell me, benefactor."

I said with some excitement in my heart: "Master Yuanming, I don't know if you have heard of Che Ma Zhi?"

Yuan Ming was taken aback, a trace of confusion flashed across his face, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The poor monk has never heard of Che Ma Zhi. I don't know what it is."

I was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, Chemazhi is a kind of fetish recorded in Zhang Hua's "Natural History", which is rare in the world. It is not surprising that these monks who practice in temples all day have not heard of it. .

I felt a little unwilling, but Monk Yuanming made it clear that he didn't know, and I had no other choice.However, I thought about the fact that Xiao Tong wanted us to go to Leidongping, and I didn't know what his intentions were. When I thought of this, I asked Monk Yuanming, "Master Yuanming, we want to go to Leidongping once." I wonder if the master can tell us something about Leidongping, such as legends or supernatural events that happened.”

After I finished speaking, I looked at Monk Yuanming with piercing eyes. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. This old monk has practiced in Mount Emei for decades, and he must know a lot of unknown things about these famous scenic spots.

"Lei Dongping..."

Monk Yuanming thought for a while, and said leisurely: "Leidongping is one of the famous scenic spots of Mount Emei, and it is also the only way to climb the Golden Summit. There are many legends left there."

I lifted my spirits and said, "Master Yuanming, please tell us something."

Monk Yuanming nodded, cleared his throat, and said, "Leidongping used to be called Leishen Temple. It was first built in the Han Dynasty to enshrine the legendary God of Thunder. On the old side of Leidongping, there used to be an The stele, it is said that within a radius of [-] meters from the center of the iron stele, it is forbidden to make loud noises, if the voice of speaking exceeds a certain limit, it will attract rain, thunder and lightning bombardment.”

"No way, is this sound-suppressing iron monument so miraculous that it can really attract lightning?" Xia Yuanyang said in disbelief from behind, and the others also showed suspicion. After all, this kind of thing is really shocking to hear.

Monk Yuanming smiled wryly, and said, "I don't know if it's true or not. That stele was destroyed many years ago, and what remains is only a legend."

Xia Yuanyang showed such an expression on his face, and muttered: "This is probably the attachment of the ancients. It is not uncommon for practitioners to attract thunder and lightning, but an artifact can summon thunder and lightning and bombard a specific person who speaks loudly. body, this is impossible, unless the stele has become a spirit."

Monk Yuanming was noncommittal to Xia Yuanyang's words, and said to himself: "According to folklore, between the cliffs and cliffs on the right side of Leidongping, there are many caves left by ancient gods and men. It is said that there is a Nuwa refining stone There are many theories about Feilaijian Cave, where Fuxi realized Taoism and became a sage, and Guigu Cave, where Guiguzi wrote a book and became a legend, but no one has ever entered these caves, so no one knows whether it is true or not. .”

I nodded. This Leidongping seems to have some unknown magic. Nuwa and Fuxi are the ancient gods and the ancestors of China's humanities, and Guiguzi is also a figure on the list of immortals. Being regarded as Xuanwei real person by Taoism, being able to get involved with them, whether it is true or not, should not be underestimated. More cautious.

Monk Yuanming saw that I was listening carefully, nodded slightly, and continued: "In fact, when it comes to the legend of Leidongping, the most famous one should be the legend of the two gods. It is said that under the cliff of Leidongping, there are 72 The cave house is home to the Dragon God and the Thunder God. In the past, when there was a drought, the people came to the edge of the Leidongping cliff to pray for rain from the gods. They threw dead pigs and dogs or women's clothes, shoes and socks down the cliff. Often, within a short while, there will be wind and thunder, and nectar will fall from the sky. In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi once bestowed the word "Lingjue" on Leidongping with his own handwriting."

"Dragon God and Thunder God?"

I frowned and read it silently, feeling a little more vigilant in my heart.Although many legends are nonsense, some of them are not groundless, just like the King Yu Suojiao in Mengding Mountain. Many people think that it is just a story conjectured by the ancients, but the fact is that the King Yu of that year was true. The demons were suppressed at the foot of Mengding Mountain.Since the Leidongping in front of him can attract people to worship, and even the high-ranking emperor has personally written an imperial letter, this is enough to show that there must be something magical behind him.

Monk Yuanming nodded and said softly: "It is said that when someone looked down the cliff at night before, they saw a very long and large creature shadow, which looked very much like the legendary dragon. Many people even Claiming that they have heard a strange sound coming from the cliff, the sound is a bit like a cow, but it is completely different, and it sounds majestic. Many people privately speculate that what they saw and heard was a dragon god."

"Is it really the Dragon God? Has no one personally descended the cliff to see it?" Cao Jinbao, who had been sitting silently by the side, said suddenly. He hurriedly asked excitedly.

Monk Yuanming smiled wryly and said: "The cliffs of Leidongping are like a knife and an axe. It is difficult for ordinary people to climb on it. And according to the outside world, the altitude of Leidongping is more than 2000 meters, from top to bottom. It looks full of clouds and mist, no one knows how deep this cliff is, just looking at it is enough to make people daunting, ordinary people simply don't have the courage to climb these cliffs."

"Many years ago, there was a famous scientific expedition team who wanted to find out the truth about Leidongping, but they didn't know what they saw under Leidongping. Anyway, they all ran away in desperation. Said that they seem to have folded several people down there." Monk Yuanming's voice was a little low.

I hurriedly asked: "Didn't they say they found something down there?"

Monk Yuanming shook his head, and said: "I don't know, these are the words of some benefactors who came to the temple to offer incense when they have nothing to do."

I nodded with some regret, but I was curious about the things under Leidongping, and I didn’t know if there were really 72 caves underneath, and if there really lived the legendary Thor and Dragon God inside. ?

Everyone talked for a while, and finally our group thanked Monk Yuanming for his hospitality, then turned and left, heading towards Leidongping in the high mountain area.
