The barbarian concubine: mistakenly provoking the evil king

"But what about the mottled bamboo called Xiangfei bamboo?" Fang Yusheng thought a little after hearing Xiaoxiang bamboo, turned his head and asked Jiang Xuanli.

"It's the Xiang imperial concubine bamboo. My mother's knowledge is really profound..." Jiang Xuanli smiled. "This Xiang imperial concubine bamboo was originally called Banzhu. It is said that this bamboo was produced in Jiuyi mountain. Originally, there were no spots on the bamboo. Only because the e-emperor and the second imperial concubine of Emperor Shun cried for Emperor Shun and shed tears on the bamboo, they became spots. Today's Xiang imperial concubine bamboo..."

"Oh, brother Jiang knows so much. Is it an allusion? Can you tell us?" Fang Yusheng was suddenly interested in the story of emperor E and nvying. It would be nice if he and Jiang Yueying could be as friendly as emperor E and nvying!

"I know by chance from reading history books, so I'll talk about it..."

"It is said that there are nine dragons living in nine caves on Jiuyi mountain. They often come to the Xiangjiang River to play in the water. As a result, the flood surged, the crops were destroyed, the houses were collapsed, and the people complained incessantly. Emperor Shun was concerned about the suffering of the people. He learned that the dragon's harm to the people was relieved. He couldn't eat well and slept well. He was determined to go to the south to help the people eliminate the harm, solve the difficulties and punish them Dragon.

Emperor Shun had two concubines, e Huang and nu Ying, who were the two daughters of Emperor Yao. Although they were born in the royal family and were imperial concubines, they were deeply influenced and taught by Yao and shun. They were not greedy for pleasure, but always concerned about the suffering of the people. They were reluctant to part with Shun's separation from their families this time. However, they still thought of relieving the disaster and suffering of the people in Xiangjiang River Struggling with his inner sorrow of separation, he happily sent Shun on his way.

Emperor Shun left. Emperor E and nvying waited at home for the good news of his triumph in conquering the dragon. They prayed for him day and night and returned victoriously as soon as possible. However, year after year, swallows came and went several times, flowers bloomed and fell several times, and Emperor Shun still had no news. They were worried.

Empress e said, "is it because he was injured by a dragon or fell ill in another country?" nvying said: "is it because he was in danger on the way, or because the mountain road was far away and lost his direction." after thinking about it, they might as well go and look for it instead of staying at home for a long time and waiting for no news and no one to return.

So, facing the wind and frost, e Huang and nvying trekked mountains and rivers to the southern Xiangjiang River to find their husband. After climbing mountains and rivers, they finally came to Jiuyi mountain. They followed the big Bauhinia River to the top of the mountain, followed the small Bauhinia River, and searched every mountain village and every path in Jiuyi mountain.

On this day, they came to a place called Sanfeng stone, where there were three big stones, surrounded by green bamboo, and a tall tomb made of pearl shells. They were surprised and asked the villagers nearby, "whose tomb is so spectacular and beautiful, and why the three big stones stand so precipitously."

The villagers told them with tears: "this is the tomb of Emperor Shun. His old man came here from the far north to help us kill the nine dragons and the people live a happy life. However, he worked hard, shed sweat, dried his efforts, suffered and died here."

It turned out that after Emperor Shun died of illness, Xiangjiang's parents, villagers and relatives specially repaired the tomb for him in order to thank Emperor Shun for his kindness. A group of cranes on Jiuyi mountain were also moved by it. They came to the South China Sea day and night to take brilliant pearls and sprinkle them on Emperor Shun's tomb, which became the Pearl tomb. The three boulders were inserted by the three tooth rake used by Emperor Shun to kill the dragon On the ground.

E Huang and nu Ying were very sad when they learned the truth. They hugged their heads and cried bitterly. They were very sad. They cried for nine days and nine nights. Their eyes were swollen, their voices were hoarse, and their tears ran dry. Finally, they cried and died next to Emperor Shun.

The tears of e Huang and nu Ying sprinkled on the bamboo mountain of Jiuyi mountain. The bamboo pole showed little tear spots, including purple, snow-white and blood red. This is "Xiangfei bamboo". Some of the bamboo looked like fingerprints, which was said to be printed by the second imperial concubine wiping tears on the bamboo. Some of the bright red blood spots on the bamboo were dyed by the blood and tears in the eyes of the two imperial concubines... "

At the end of the lecture, Jiang Xuanli took a deep breath. He was not only tired, but also sighed for the story of emperor E and nvying.

"Unexpectedly, there is such a touching story about the spots on Xiaoxiang bamboo." Fang Yusheng was filled with emotion and admired the courage of emperor E and nvying. "No wonder people like planting Xiaoxiang bamboo so much." Fang Yusheng said quietly. At the same time, a poem came to her mind:

Bamboos send Acacia with tears. Chu guests want to listen to Yao's resentment. When the moon shines in Xiaoxiang late at night. If you want to see the Xiaoxiang bamboo forest, probably the best time should be in the dead of night

"Please take us to see the famous Xiaoxiang bamboo..." Fang Yusheng said suddenly nervously and excitedly.

"Good, good..." sandalwood heard that he jumped up happily before Jiang Xuanli replied.

"You're welcome, madam. Since madam likes to see the Xiaoxiang bamboo forest, if we don't go and have a look..." Jiang Xuanli is also willing to be with Fang Yusheng. Fang Yusheng can always give him a warm feeling and make him feel very comfortable.

Xiaoxiang bamboo forest is one of the top ten landscapes of Xiangquan temple. Although it is not as colorful as the flower stream, sweet as the fragrant spring and precious as the snow bud, this Xiangzhu also has the elegance of Xiangzhu.

Under the guidance of Jiang Xuanli, Fang Yusheng and others slowly walked towards Xiaoxiang bamboo forest. The Xiaoxiang bamboo forest in Xiangquan temple is a flat slope at the back of Zhuanshan mountain. On the flat slope, there is a lush bamboo forest. The master in the bamboo forest was spotted and of different colors.

"Mother, look, look, the spots on these bamboo trees seem to cry blood..." sandalwood shouted in surprise, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. When they looked closely, there were many bright red spots on the stems of the bamboo. Like a person's eyes, the tears crying out are just red tears.

"It seems to be true..." Fang Yusheng gently used his hand and wanted to touch the bamboo stem. Who knows that when I touch it, the red tears stick to my hand. I can't wave it anymore

"Ah... Yes... It's blood..." Fang Yusheng was frightened and shouted out in horror.
