The old man continued to tell the story vividly, and everyone around him was attracted by him.
"The robber has been observing for a long time, and finally discovered the family's secrets, so he wanted to grab his cornucopia. But when the robber was about to break in, he tripped over something, which aroused the family's vigilance. The family looked through the window, it turned out that the robber had come again, so they hurried to escape up the mountain with the cornucopia from the back door. In order to prevent the robbers from discovering the secret of the cornucopia, the family buried the cornucopia in the ground and planted another one. A cypress tree serves as a mark."
"Hid the cornucopia, this family thought it was okay and went back home. The robbers were waiting at his house, but they were arrested when the family came back. The family could not withstand the torture, so they had to tell the whereabouts of the cornucopia. , But when the robbers went up the mountain, they discovered that the original bare mountain was covered with cypress trees overnight. Since then, no one knows the whereabouts of the cornucopia. Other people thought it was a fairy and a fairy because they didn’t know about the cornucopia. Changed its name to Baishan!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaowen asked incomprehensibly, "But what does this have to do with Emperor Wu of the Han?"
The old man chuckled, "Listen to me to continue talking!"
"Later, a cultivator of Taoism passed by Baishan and found that there must be some treasure here. And after a long time of storing spirituality, Baishan was already very suitable for cultivating immortals to ask questions, so he decided Stay here and continue to practice! Seeing that the top of this mountain is protruding, the mountain shape is like a huge open umbrella, so he named this place Golden Umbrella Mountain, and the Taoist temple he cultivated was named Wanshou Temple. !"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaowen's eyes brightened: Baishan Village is indeed the site of the Longevity Temple of Jin Umbrella Mountain, but it was unexpected that folklore has been spreading to the present.
"Because of the superior mana, the name of Wanshouguan soon resounded through China, and many people came here to practice. By the time of the Warring States period, the Taoists of Wanshouguan were close to a thousand! But after the reunification of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty ordered the killing of warlocks. Wanshou Temple was destroyed, and the glory of the past no longer existed. Until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wanshou Temple had another master, Tai Xuan!"
Speaking of this, the old man paused on purpose and asked
Zhang Xiaowen: "The true man Tai Xuan is called Nature. It is his Taoism that opened the door of He Shang Gong's wisdom. Do you know who this He Shang Gong is?"
Zhang Xiaowen shook his head. The old man smiled with satisfaction and continued: "He Shang Gong is not an ordinary person. The annotation "He Shang Gong Zhang Sentence" he made for "Lao Tzu" was widely circulated at that time. And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was exactly the same. Followed He Shang Gong to learn the art of health preservation!"
"But after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty followed Heshang Public School for a while, he felt that the effect was not obvious, so he recommended his master Taixuan to Emperor Wu of the Han! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to live long, so he went to Wanshou Temple to learn Taoism. He was shocked when he saw Tai Xuan, because Tai Xuan looked like he was only in his thirties. How could he be the master of He Shang Gong? But after inquiring, he learned that Tai Xuan was 119 years old. Up!"
"So Emperor Wu of the Han lived in Wanshou Temple, and Tai Xuan Zhen personally chose the Dongfu for Han Wu to practice. The Dongfu where Emperor Wu lived at that time was the current Longdong, which is also the origin of Longdong Temple. Of course, this is all later. After the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty learned Taoism in the Wanshou Temple, he was very grateful to Taixuan Zhenren and wanted to reward him with gold and silver. But Taixuan Zhenren wanted nothing. In desperation, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty moved the Wanshou Temple around The 6 small villages in the village were rewarded to Wanshouguan, and gave the Taixuan real person the national surname: Liu! And these 6 villages are now the Baishan Village! This is also recorded in the family tree of the Liu family in Baishan Village! "
After listening to Zhang Xiaowen, he was very excited: the legend told by the old man just included that time period, and it seemed to contain a lot of information, so he had to analyze it carefully. So Zhang Xiaowen bowed to the old man: "Uncle, what you said is really good, I was taught today! But how do you know such details?"
The old man holding the red side said disdainfully: "What does he know? He just set up a fortune-telling booth in Xiaobei Ding, so I just asked more about it. The legend that everyone in Baishan Village basically knows!"
Zhang Xiaowen smiled at the old people: "No matter what, thank you uncles. I will go to Longdong Temple and Xiaobeiding to take a look.
Continue! "
After speaking, Zhang Xiaowen walked towards the path pointed by the old man. As he walked, Zhang Xiaowen pondered the legend: in the legend, the real Tai Xuan man should be Xue Po’s little junior brother'naturally', and many of the contents are one-to-one with what Xue Po said, indicating that this legend is still Some credibility. But the legends before the Qin Dynasty were a bit magical. Could it be that this Baishan Village was attracted by a cornucopia
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaowen suddenly remembered that the ancients liked exaggeration and mythology, especially those things they couldn't understand. Could this cornucopia be a magic weapon of a cultivator, just like the mist in the underworld in his own gourd
After thinking about it this way, Zhang Xiaowen immediately thought of another thing: whether it is a fairy mound or a blessing cave, in the legend, it can increase the speed of people's cultivation. If you think about it according to this line of thinking, then Tai Xuan Zhenren is for the Han Could the cave house chosen by Emperor Wu be the same cave house as the Immortal Tomb and Fu Cave? If his guess is correct, isn't Ying Zheng in the dragon cave today
The more Zhang Xiaowen thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, so he sped up the pace unconsciously, because he couldn't wait to take a look at Longdong Temple!
Following the path pointed by the old man, he soon reached the foot of the mountain. A winding stairway stretched up the mountain. Zhang Xiaowen looked around and there was no one, so he lifted his energy, rushed up the mountain, and reached halfway up the mountain in a short while.
There is another pagoda halfway up the mountain, from the pagoda to two roads, one continues to wind up, the other goes down into the ravine.
Although Zhang Xiaowen doesn't know the road, the old man said just now that the mountainside is Longdong Temple, and the top of the mountain is Xiaobei Ding, so the road to Longdong Temple should be the way down into the ravine.
So Zhang Xiaowen went down the road and saw a courtyard with a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the middle of the courtyard.
Said to be a temple, in fact there are only two halls and a row of houses, and the scale is not very large. Zhang Xiaowen glanced around in the temple, but found no one, so he decided to enter the house to take a look.
Zhang Xiaowen chose the hall closest to him, but when he went in to see Zhang Xiaowen, he frowned: How can the Sanqing Patriarch be enshrined in this temple
