Chapter 213 The Legend of Mentougou

The story the aunt told was not as exciting as she claimed, and it was totally unrelated to the so-called information sharing fee she charged. I don't know how many times she told it. I guess most of the hikers who came here and were cheated by her have heard her unreliable story. She can tell it easily and vividly.

At first glance, this story is actually a myth, which is related to the legendary Nuwa.

At the beginning, Gonggong fought with Zhuanxu for the throne and failed. In anger, he hit his head against Buzhou Mountain, causing the pillar of heaven to break and the sky to crack. Then the nine states collapsed and the people were living in misery. Finally, Nuwa took five-colored soil from Tiantai Mountain, one of the five immortal mountains in the East China Sea, and condensed the sky-repairing divine stone, which repaired the sky.

However, after Nuwa repaired the sky, the condensed sky-repairing divine stone was not used up. These things are all divine objects. Once they fall into the human world, they may cause unimaginable disasters.

Therefore, Nuwa sent a fairy to bury the remaining Heaven-Repairing Divine Stone somewhere in the human world, and ordered the fairy to guard the Heaven-Repairing Divine Stone and not to slack off.

"The Heaven-Repairing Divine Stone, a treasure made by the Goddess Nuwa herself!"

The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly and came forward. Her silver front teeth shone brightly in the candlelight, like a fanatical MLM member. She asked mysteriously, "Do you know where the Heaven-Repairing Divine Stone is buried?"

Lao Bai sighed and said helplessly, "Should we say we know or don't know? If we say we don't know, we will look like fools. You have shown it so clearly. It is clearly in Taiyue Mountain. But if we say we know, and then we prepare our emotions to cooperate with you, we will look more like idiots!"

The old lady's face twitched a few times because of being choked, but this person was very thick-skinned. She blinked and calmed down. Instead, she pointed at Lao Bai with a humble look and smiled, "Smart, it's easy to talk to smart people."

Lao Bai's face fell, probably not knowing whether this was a compliment or a curse, and waved his hand in annoyance: "Okay, stop being like a storyteller, tell your story properly!"

Zhang Xinya was more direct, and put another hundred yuan on the table, emphasizing: "Speak human language!!"

"Okay!"

The aunt responded very happily, stuffed the money into her crotch, and immediately said: "I can see that you four are different from those donkeys. I won't tell you my exaggerated story, but tell you the original story I heard from my father!"

The original story is the best!

I perked up.

Sure enough, the effect of the money was immediate, and the aunt finally told something interesting.

She said that the fairy in the mountains had been alone for thousands of years, and finally couldn't hold back, so she ran out to play secretly.

In Yangshe, Jin State, she met her beloved man.

At this point, the aunt stopped again, and tilted her head to ask us, which country is this Jin State, and what place is Yangshe? I have never heard of it!

Zhang Xinya silently took out another hundred, and the aunt stopped asking and continued.

The reason why the fairy fell in love with this man was that she was attracted by the sound of his piano.

However, this man turned out to be an official, and the emperor relied on him very much. Even if the two of them were of the same mind, they could not retire from the world and live a peaceful life.

Helplessly, the two had to separate. The fairy returned to the mountain and continued to guard the Heaven-Repairing Divine Stone, while the man continued to serve his king. Decades passed in a flash, and the king the man was loyal to died. The fairy went to Yangshe to find the man again, but unfortunately, the man was blind and old at that time.

The fairy did not dislike the man, but carried him back to Taiyue Mountain, gave him the Heaven-Repairing Divine Stone, and taught him the art of cultivation. The man has been immortal since then.

And this fairy, because of using the Heaven-Repairing Stone, was eventually exiled by the gods. The man refused to be separated from her, so he went into the land of exile with her. The two never came out again, and could not come out.

It is said that in the land of exile, there is a boundless sea of ​​suffering, and the sea of ​​suffering is full of dead resentful souls. If there is no handwritten order from the gods, it is impossible to pass through, and the resentful souls in the sea of ​​suffering will be eaten alive, and nothing will be left in the end...

After listening to the aunt's story, Lao Bai laughed out loud: "The boundless sea of ​​suffering, why don't you say that there is a Pacific Ocean between us?"

"Look at you, young man, why don't you know the severity of your words? This time, the aunt is telling you the truth from the bottom of her heart!"

The aunt looked up, pretending to be angry, and said: "There are really gods in this mountain. Some people have seen them. They are the Hu Wa in our village. He was trapped in the mountain and couldn't get out. In the end, a very beautiful woman personally sent him out. That little girl was very cute! Because of this, his wife fought with him every day. Hu Wa couldn't stand it. In the end, he asked the aunt for a magic medicine, which made his wife scream and never quarreled with him again."

Before she finished the three sentences, the aunt returned to her nature, took my hand very gently, and said earnestly: "Look at you, kid, you are so young, but you have made yourself like this. Aunt sees that you are a good young man, so I won't charge you much money. Three hundred yuan for a set of medicine. After ten sets, I guarantee that three old women can't hold you down!"

I am tired of hearing this now. I shook her hand off and said angrily: "If there are really fairies in this mountain, why has only Hu Wa from your village seen them? So many hikers have come here, and why haven't other people in the village seen them?"

"Who dares to go in? The fairy lives in the deep mountains. Those donkeys can only walk around our village a few times at most. They are as thin as chickens. Can they walk so far?"

The aunt rolled her eyes and said: "Hu Wa also lost his way that time and went to that place accidentally. He refused to tell us what he encountered. When he came back, we saw from a distance that the fairy sent him to the village head, and then she turned around and left. However, it is dark today, so there is nothing we can do. You can go to Hu Wa to ask him tomorrow morning, and then you will understand everything."

The aunt probably knew only so much about this story. After she finished, she stayed beside us and chattered for a long time. Seeing that she could not get any more money from us, she stood up with a sense of unsatisfaction. However, before leaving, she did not forget to take away the food that was full of saliva. As for who to keep it for, it was hard to say. There was no way to think too much about this kind of thing. If we think too much, we will have to go out and pick our throats and vomit...

As soon as the aunt left, Zhang Xinya touched her trouser pocket, came to her senses, and cursed: "Oh, this damn old woman, she stayed here for a few words and dawdled for a while, waiting to be paid. Unknowingly, she cheated us out of nearly a thousand yuan, which was all the hard-earned money we risked our lives to earn!"

"This damn old woman is really cunning. I guess she has seen that we are not ordinary people."

Brother Yaozi sighed lightly: "It's also fortunate that we didn't do anything shameful this time, otherwise I would have to kill her! "

"Stop, we are here to save my master, don't get involved in these trivial matters."

I raised my hand to let the two of them quiet down, and carefully pondered the story told by the aunt, and hesitated: "Did you hear something? !"

"It's not right."

Lao Bai thought about it and said: "What about the boundless sea of ​​suffering and the need for the handwritten instructions of the gods? These words sound a bit inexplicable. I don't know why, the first word that popped into my mind was a tomb! There may be a tomb in this mountain! "

I slapped my thigh, that's right, we both thought of the same thing.

These folk tales should not be underestimated, especially in these places next to the mountains.

Some grave robbers look for tombs, few of them can read Feng Shui, and not many use modern instruments. What do most of them rely on? They just look through the county annals of various places and listen to the folk tales of various places. These legends are very likely to contain extraordinary content.

The story told by the aunt really made me think a lot. After carefully filtering these contents, I thought for a moment and told Brother Yaozi and the others my thoughts.

Nuwa and fairies are definitely unreliable.

As for the sky-patching stone, it is even more ridiculous.

Science has proved that there is the atmosphere above our heads. What can we patch? It's not like sewing clothes, but this sky-patching stone is a key point. I think it should mean something, because the whole story revolves around this thing.

"The so-called sky-patching stone may mean a very rare treasure! "

Finally, I made this speculation: "In the story, the stone of repairing the sky is related to longevity. Of course, immortality is nonsense, but since there is such a connection, can I understand that such a treasure... is actually a rare medicine? ! As for the exile place, it is a big tomb. The boundless sea of ​​suffering is the mechanism in the tomb. The medicine is in the tomb, or even... on the dead! ! "

As soon as this was said, Brother Yaozi and Zhang Xinya's breathing became a little faster. Obviously, this made them think of the things that saved my master, which is also the ultimate purpose of our coming here!!

Lao Bai pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "I think I have some guesses about the man in the Jin State in the story, but there are some things that don't make sense!"

Seeing that we were all looking at him, he didn't play tricks and said directly: "Jin State, this is easy to understand. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the Jin State before the three families divided Jin. As for this Yangshe, there is naturally no such place now, because the place name has changed!

If I'm not mistaken, this Yangshe is probably located near the present Hongdong County, in Linfen, not too far from here!!

The story says that this man is good at playing the piano, and even attracted fairies with his playing, and finally formed a happy relationship.

But Yangshe was once a place where a famous zither player really came from, and this person is - Shi Kuang!!

Shi Kuang was originally from Hebei, and was an official in Jin State, and was granted the fiefdom of Yangshe!

The most interesting thing is that it is said that Shi Kuang was a strange man. He felt that if he opened his eyes to see things, he would be distracted, so he blinded his eyes and concentrated on playing the piano. His superb piano skills are unparalleled in ancient and modern times. When he plays the piano, he even attracts some magical listeners!

To put it more coolly, his piano has entered the Tao and risen to another level! "

Shi Kuang!

What a great man!

At first glance, this name may sound a little strange, but the music he composed must have been heard by modern people. It is a piece of high-brow music that has been passed down for thousands of years and has never faded!!

In addition to music, he has high attainments in other aspects, such as arithmetic and governance. He can be called a great man of his generation, and even created a well-known boxing style - ancient Tai Chi!

In short, this person is a genius with extremely high achievements. Any one of them is a master. Others can achieve one in their lifetime. He has dabbled in all aspects and is still very awesome. Isn't it infuriating?

Then, Lao Bai hesitated and said: "However, this Shi Kuang is indeed dead, and his tomb is in Yangshe!"

"There is no body in that tomb! "

Brother Yaozi suddenly said: "It has been robbed a long time ago. The coffin inside was pried open and the body was stolen. A friend of mine once sneaked in to try to find some things that were missed. He saw with his own eyes that the coffin was decayed. It should have been pried open shortly after death!"

"That's right."

Lao Bai nodded: "The man in the story is most likely this Shi Kuang.

However, he was not taken away by the fairy when he was old. There are clear records in history that Shi Kuang assisted the two masters, Duke Ping of Jin and Duke Dao of Jin, and did not resign until his death. There is no such thing as seclusion in the mountains.

In this way, it should be the fairy in the story who stole his body after his death and buried it here. The so-called treasure should belong to this fairy. Maybe she was attracted by his piano sound and fell in love with him, so she tried to save him with the treasure? Just like the Donghu tomb we encountered, wanting to revive Shi Kuang? "

I nodded. This makes sense.

However, what I am more concerned about is what exactly is that treasure?

What is a fairy? It can't be a fairy, right?

We discussed it for a long time and had no idea about it, but we have gained a lot. At least at this point, things are clearer!

"That Hu Wa was sent back by the fairy. Although I have never seen him, I always feel that this person is not right."

I thought about it and said, "Forget it, let's take a nap first. Tomorrow, we will go to see this Hu Wa and find out his depth. By the way, we will find out... where is this tomb!"
