One afternoon in the late Yuan Dynasty, a small Wupeng boat stopped at Dongyang Ferry, and a monk stepped out of the boat. I saw him flicking the dust off his body and walking towards Dongyang Ancient Town with the parcel in hand. When the monk walked to Dongyang City, he saw that the ancient town was very desolate, with thatch growing on the city walls and blood stains everywhere on the walls. The streets are sparsely populated. Finally, the monk found a restaurant, and the waiter brought him a bowl of soy milk and bean curd. After the monk finished eating, he said to the waiter: "This is an ancient city in the Southern Qi Dynasty. Why is it so deserted?" The waiter said with a wry smile: "Master comes from afar, so it's not easy to ask questions." The monk felt that the people here had difficulties, so it was not easy to ask. I had to find another topic and said: "How far is it from Hezhou?" The waiter said: "It's more than a hundred miles. Follow this road over Xishanping, around Dongyang Gorge, and up Caojiezi. After passing the mouth of the gorge at Maliuping, you can just cross over and go." The monk thanked the waiter and walked along the road. Follow the trail out of Dongyang Ancient Town. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the water of the Jialing River was flowing in the canyon with scaly waves in the setting sun. The monk raised his eyes and looked west;
The setting sun on the Western Mountain
Clear. Ji Chong Ci [Eight Scenes of Dongyang]
Before the setting sun, the water gurgled, and the hunters outside the forest shook their whips. The shadows are chaotic, the setting sun is scattered by the wind, and the pearls are shining in the forest.
Smoke rises from the deep trees, birds fly, red clouds cover the mountains and rivers, and the frosty wind returns to the bottom of the tree, like a peach garden.
What a beautiful scenery of "beads and mountains". The monk could not stop enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. He was cheerful and striding forward, and soon he reached Xishanping. Xishanping, seen from the Jialing River, looks like a huge mountain range, but the top of the mountain is extra flat, with towering ancient trees and smooth roads. The monk put down his package and leaned under an old tree. He felt hungry again and looked around. Oh, there are flowers and fruits everywhere on this mountain. You can pick them to satisfy your hunger. At this time, the small hill fort in front was in full bloom like a lotus, Buddha lights were shining all around, and auspicious clouds were flying from the top. Three words "Xumi" seemed to float out of the clouds. The eminent monk thought deeply, whether the Lord Buddha was giving the inscription, there should be a temple on the mountain. How could the eminent monk dare to neglect him? He immediately made a great wish to live on this mountain under a thatch and build a temple for alms.
Unknowingly, the eminent monk traveled back and forth on the Jialing River for several years, and became familiar with Dongyang Ancient Town and Cao Street, as well as the wealthy squires living there. In addition, this monk knew medical skills. While practicing medicine, he also begged for alms and performed good deeds. He soon won the support of businessmen, businessmen and believers, and a temple was completed. The eminent monk recalled the scene at that time and named the temple Xumi Temple.
There is an ancient road not far from Xumi Temple. It was an ancient post road opened during the Three Kingdoms period. It is called Zhang Fei Road. It is said that after Zhang Feiyi released Yan Yan, he led his army north to rescue the trapped Liu Bei. Later, this road became the only way for merchants to come and go. Sometimes, traveling monks also stay here alone. In addition, believers on the north bank of the Yangtze River can also burn incense and make wishes here. There is no need to go to Jinyun Temple or Hot Spring Temple in Jinyun Mountain on the other side of the river.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was desolate, crickets covered the sky and the sun, and the Central Plains was full of mourners. In addition, the Yuan Dynasty government did not allow the people to cultivate food, and the people were not allowed to hold an inch of iron. The Little Three Gorges area of ??the Jialing River was even more important to the Yuan Dynasty, because it was the place where the Mongolian army was humiliated when they went south. Meng Ge Khan died in the Hot Spring Temple in Wentang Gorge, Xishan Ping, and Meng Ge's favorite general Wang Dechen also died on Jinyun Mountain opposite. Therefore, the inspections by officers and soldiers at Zhang Fei Daoguan Post Station were more stringent. But in the year of great famine, the government and army could not give alms to the people, so they had to let the monks and temples come to save the people. There was an endless stream of refugees on Zhangfei Road in the Little Three Gorges of the Jialing River. At that time, a child sang:
What a shame for the refugees! They are ghosts but not ghosts, and they are not human beings.
Poor refugees! Men don’t have brown robes, and women don’t have full skirts.
Woe to the refugees! They peel off trees to eat their bark and dig up grass to get their roots.
Woe to the refugees! There are no fireworks day and night, and they sleep under the stars at night.
Poor refugees! They dare not protect the morning and the evening, and they dare not protect the morning at dusk.
Woe to the refugees! The dead are all over the road, and the living are neighbors with ghosts.
What a pity for the refugees! A woman can only earn a few millets, and a son can earn several pennies.
One day, Xumi Temple rang the bell again to help the victims. I saw groups of victims on Zhang Fei Road gathering in front of the temple. The monks and novice monks in the temple were busy in front of each other. After a while, the porridge and rice in the earthen vat were gone. The eminent monk looked at the skinny hungry people and said helplessly: "Amitabha". Suddenly, a little novice monk came to the master and said, "Master, there is a mother over there who is dying. Please go and see her." The eminent monk and the young novice walked forward and saw the pregnant woman leaning weakly against the big tree, with big beads of sweat dripping from her head. The eminent monk stretched out his hand to take a pulse. "Amitabha"
This pulse pattern is a sign of childbirth. The eminent monk asked the novice monks to quickly place the pregnant woman in a hut not far from the temple and send her leftover food. Barely surviving. He also asked the young novice to take the female dog from the temple to keep the pregnant woman company. Because blood is taboo in Buddhist temples, but the monks were compassionate and had to let the pregnant woman settle down in the hut temporarily.
That night, the stars were shining brightly. Everything was silent, and the eminent monk was thinking about the pregnant woman. He put his clothes on and clasped his hands together, praying towards the thatched hut. Not long after, I saw a meteor streaking across the sky like a blue dragon, heading straight for the thatched hut. Suddenly, a baby's cry came from the thatched hut. The sound was strong and loud, vibrating in the mountain stream for a long time. The beasts in the mountain were shaken by the baby's cry.
The Legend of "Tianzi Temple" in Dongyang, Beibei [2] Children's Sufferings
The previous episode talked about the eminent monk of Xumi Temple taking in a pregnant woman. The pregnant woman gave birth to a child in a thatched cottage on the mountain.
Time flies, three years have passed in a flash, and the child born in the thatched cottage next to Xumi Temple has grown more and more strange. Because when they were babies, the children fed with temple dog milk, soy milk, and bean dregs were born with protruding cheek bones, retracted mandibles, wide foreheads, piercing eyes, like dragon eyes spraying out, and showing majesty and murderous intent from time to time when speaking. The eminent monk saw its strange appearance and loved it. He often took it with him during morning Buddhist rituals, learned to read scriptures, and taught him writing. The child was born smart and had a photographic memory. Among all the novice monks, he stands out.
Because the eminent monk had special care for children, his mother also recovered from a heart disease. One day, her mother explained her family affairs to the eminent monk in an euphemistic manner. She said that her hometown was originally from Zhongli Township in Haozhou, Huaixi Province. She was forced to leave her hometown due to hunger and cold, and she followed the cargo ships entering Sichuan to make food along the way. She also had three sons and one daughter at home. and my wife. The family name is Zhu. She took out a bag of things and told the eminent monk that she couldn't let go of the people in her hometown and wanted to go home to see her. This child was born in hardship. He should be the fourth son in the family and is of the Yuan generation. This package contains the child's birthday and hometown address. When the child grows up in the future, he can follow the directions above to find us. After saying that, he hugged the child tightly and cried. Then he knelt down and said, "I hope the master will do more good deeds and work as an ox or a horse in the coming year to repay the master's kindness." After saying that, he looked at his son and cried bitterly. The master held back his tears and agreed. After this separation, the child became an orphan. Fortunately, the child was so confused that he regarded the eminent monk as his father and was just having fun all day long. In addition to reciting scriptures, I just do some chores.
The eminent monk of Xumi Temple would go out from time to time. One day, the eminent monk had to travel far again and made a special statement to the monks in the temple. They are just instructions to clean the temple frequently, add more incense, and treat pilgrims well. As soon as the eminent monk left, the young novices came together and wanted to fix the youngest brother Zhu Si, because usually the eminent monk would take Zhu Si with him and teach him to read and write. Too much of a preference. This time the master will be out for a few days, just in time to give Zhu Si some color to look at. So Zhu Si cleaned the main hall of the Buddhist temple. If you say you can't clean it properly, you'll have to face the wall for three days. Zhu Si understood that this was intentional embarrassment among the senior brothers. It was difficult to get sick, so I had to claim it. But I was so angry that I couldn't help but look at all the clay Bodhisattvas in the temple. They were showing teeth all day long and not working, so I said to the clay Bodhisattvas, I will be cleaning the temple today. You need to wait outside and wait for me. After sweeping, you must return to your original positions without making any mistakes. Otherwise, if you don't listen to me, you will be punished by three thousand miles. After that, he picked up the broom and called the gods out. It's strange to say that all the clay gods were waiting outside the temple in order to be dealt with. I saw Zhu Si dancing wildly on the Buddhist hall with his broom. After a while, the dust ran away completely. Zhu Si went outside the Buddhist hall and shouted for a while, and the clay statues returned to their original positions in the Buddhist hall, as if they had grown legs. All the novice monks were stunned.
After their plan failed, the brothers came up with another plan and asked Zhu Si to go to Dongyang Town to collect firewood. The backyard must be filled with firewood within three days. It turned out that I heard that a group of tigers appeared at the foot of the mountain in Xishanping, and the brothers were afraid of encountering tigers when they went out to collect firewood. I didn't want to collect firewood, and I was afraid that the master would come back and blame me, so I came up with this strange idea. But Zhu Si was not afraid of anyone, so he walked to Dongyang Town happily. He went out to play all the way, but he felt hungry and dazzled. I wanted to go back to the mountain to collect firewood but couldn't finish it. At this time, I had no choice but to walk under a poplar tree and make a wish to the big tree: Poplar tree! Poplar tree, I am so lonely and lonely. I hope you can give me some food and help me. I will be able to achieve great success in the future. You are a lord. I offer sacrifices to you every year. Suddenly a bird's nest fell from the tree, with seven or eight eggs inside. Zhu Si devoured it in one breath, and without realizing that his strength doubled, he walked towards Xumi Temple. Just when we reached the intersection at the top of the mountain, we saw a beautiful tiger lying on the road. Zhu Si was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, but he had no way forward or retreat. Zhu Si had no choice but to bite the bullet and reprimand the tiger: "You are a brave beast. I am a gift from heaven. Now that you are in trouble, you still haven't sent the firewood back to the temple on my behalf." Upon hearing this, the tiger carried firewood back to the temple for Zhu Si in a very polite manner. When all the novice monks saw Zhu Si driving the tiger back and forth to carry firewood, they were all frightened. From now on, I never dare to neglect Zhu Si again.
When the eminent monk returned to the temple and saw that the situation had changed drastically, he felt very forgiving. The monks also explained everything in the temple. It is said that Zhu Si's children actually issued orders to the gods. What is even more surprising is that Zhu Si dared to ask the tiger to help collect firewood. When the eminent monk heard this, he treated Zhu Si differently. Once, the eminent monk followed Zhu Si to Dongyang Ancient Town for business. He walked to a large private house and asked Zhu Si to wait outside. Zhu Siyi couldn't wait and the second-class master didn't come out, so he simply fell asleep on a big bluestone. When the eminent monk and his farewell friends came out, they found that Zhu Si was sleeping in a special way. He lay down and slept with a word on the bluestone, a dog beating stick across his head, lying flat on his hands, and spreading his legs, like a dog. "Tian" son, next to him is a piece of tofu, with the words "Emperor of Ming Dynasty" printed on it. The tofu font has a dragon shape on the side. The eminent monk and his friends couldn't help but panic when they saw this scene. "This, this, isn't this the Son of Heaven?" After saying this, Zhu Si stood up and said, "Master, I took a nap." The eminent monk smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to bother you." After saying this, the eminent monk and his friends laughed. Friends also said: "The sky has eyes, and there is hope for the restoration of the Song Dynasty."
The legend of "Tianzi Temple" in Dongyang, Beibei [3] Children practicing martial arts
The previous episode mentioned that Zhu Si was in Dongyang Town After placing the word "天" next to the big bluestone, the eminent monk paid special attention to it and often stayed by his side to chant scriptures. Spring passes and winter comes, but another year has passed.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter this year, it was surprisingly cold. After the eminent monk and Zhu Si were reading scriptures under the light, they saw Zhu Si falling asleep with his pillow on the table. The eminent monk sadly put on his coat, closed the door slightly and left. Zhu Si didn't know how long he had slept, but the fourth watch was already sounded outside. When I woke up from my sleep, I didn’t see Master. Listen for voices outside the wall. He opened the door lightly and looked out carefully. Under the moonlight, he saw a naked man practicing his fists and kicks outside. Sometimes he rose into the air, sometimes he used his fists and kicks like lightning, sometimes he moved with swords and guns, and sometimes he lifted a stone jar with all his strength. I feel excited after watching it. Seeing the man packing his clothes, Zhu Si hurriedly hid in the house.
Zhu Si peeked for several days and finally recognized his master. So I pretended to be asleep every night at that time, and it lasted about a month. One day, Zhu Si was hiding there again and peeping. Suddenly, someone patted him behind him. Zhu Si turned around and saw his master smiling and said, "Zhu Si isn't sleeping yet. What are you doing here?" Zhu Si saw his master and said, "I want to follow you." Practice martial arts. The master said, I have been testing you for a long time. The fact that you have stayed here for a month shows that you have perseverance and are a good material. But why practice martial arts? Zhu Si said cheerfully that we should eliminate violence and make peace. Master said this was not enough. Zhu Si looked at the master in confusion. Why was that? After the master put on Zhu Si's clothes and sent him back to his room, he said that eradicating violence and bringing peace to the people could only benefit the people of one side. If you want everyone in the world to be at peace, this is too small. Zhu Si looked at his master and asked him to explain in detail. The master sighed and said, you are too young. Many things are still unclear. Since Zhu Si had a close relationship with Master, he pestered Master to talk about it. The master said helplessly: "If you want to rebel and overthrow the current Northern Barbarian rule, is it a crime of risking beheading? Are you afraid?" Seeing that Zhu Si didn't understand, the master continued: "The current emperor is a Northern Barbarian and a captive." It is they who have robbed us Han people of the world, leaving us Han people with no land to farm and no land to plant, so that we have no food and clothing and no warmth everywhere. Only by driving out the bandits and restoring China can all people in the world have peace."
Zhu Si said: "Master, I understand. I am not afraid of beheading. I want to practice martial arts." The master said: "The ancients said: When heaven is going to assign a great responsibility to a person, he must first work hard on his will and work hard. The muscles and bones are hungry, the body is empty, and the movement is chaotic." Then the master said: "Those who practice martial arts should regard virtue as their top priority, and regard the peace of the world as their own peace. The upper hand is violent. You should persevere in practicing martial arts. You should not abandon it because the weather is cold and the earth is hot, nor should you abandon it because you are weak and strong. "Master, disciples sit on the ground and salute," Zhu Si said. Master helped Zhu Si up. Today I am recruiting a disciple for the first time. I will give you a lesson, which is: "Drive out the bandits and restore our China." "Before practicing martial arts every day, we need to worship the spiritual tablets of our ancestors. Let God look at the aspirations of our descendants. Your master will give you an explanation today. You know that the road that goes more than a hundred miles away is Hezhou, and the next hundred miles away is Chongqing. Mansion. A hundred years ago, my great-grandfather led the soldiers and civilians of Diaoyu City in Hezhou to fight against the 100,000-strong army of Mongolian Khan for thirty-six years. When the fierce battle was in full swing, the water of the Jialing River turned red, and even the Diaoyu City and Duogong City , the stones on the wall of Dongyang City are full of blood-awakening energy." The master said with tears streaming down his face: "But the court is ignorant and the treacherous ministers are in power. When Meng Ge died, they blindly sued for peace and destroyed the Great Wall. The Song Dynasty lasted for more than three hundred years. After destroying the Southern Song Dynasty, the Tuotu brutally harmed our soldiers and civilians and hunted down our orphans and orphans. When will you return the country to me? The teacher is old now. I only hope that you can clean up the old mountains and rivers and face the sky."
"Come on! Disciple, today I will practice the standing posture first. Squatting down is like straddling a horse and carrying a spear. The stake is as stable as Mount Tai." Zhu Si immediately squatted down, and the master kept hitting Zhu Si's legs and feet with a wooden stick.
The legend of "Tianzi Temple" in Dongyang, Beibei [4] Children's determination
The previous episode talked about Zhu Si learning martial arts from his master, and we will continue to talk about it today.
Two years passed without realizing it. In the past two years, Zhu Sixing has become stronger and stronger while practicing martial arts. Master psychologically likes this child. He no longer sees him as a little toy like he did in those years, but sees him as a pillar of strength in the future, so he keeps him with him from time to time. One day, the master and the apprentice went down the mountain to the riverside at Datuokou, Xishanping. Zhu Si jumped up and down for a while and ran to the beach near Datuokou and shouted: "Master, it's so fun here." The master looked at the beautiful scenery thoughtfully.
The Zen cliffs are overlaid with greenery, Qing Jichong [Eight Scenes of Dongyang]
The green peaks surround the Kongtong, and the green domes are exquisite. Feilai peak surges into the Brahma Palace. Flowers and rain clouds spread across the sky and into Qiao Song.
There are tens of thousands of green jade bushes, and the shade of pines and bamboos is dense. The gentle breeze at night brings the dawn bell. Awakening the infinite dream of smoke and dust, all worries are gone.
"Disciple, is the scenery here beautiful?" the master said suddenly.
"Master, of course it is beautiful here," Zhu Si replied.
“Look along this river, what do you see?” Master said.
The water in the gorge drags orchids, clear and lonely [Eight Scenes of Dongyang]
The water in the gorge is green, cool, vast and vast. The clear peaks are illuminated by a long blue stream. Cut off the mountain roots and connect to Qutang.
The wind is blowing, the water is flowing, the orchids are reflected in rows, and the green shadows are swaying in the waves. The flowing out of the Bajiang River carries the autumn scenery, which is better than the Canglang River.
"This river is full of orchids, rippling clear blue, and as beautiful as a gallery," Zhu Si replied.
"This river is not only as beautiful as a gallery, but it is also a heavy historical book," Master continued. More than a hundred years ago, the continuous war interrupted her tranquility. She cried, she struggled, she told, she shouted. What flows in this river is not water, but blood, the master suddenly said with a heavy heart.
In the previous dynasty, during the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers and the Liao soldiers wanted to invade Sichuan. In the Song Dynasty, we organized a large army at the source of the river, Monk Shangyuan, and Dasanguan to stop the attack. At that time, they fought repeatedly in darkness. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolian army marched south again and fought for decades within a radius of more than a hundred miles. There were hundreds of corpses floating in the river, and the water turned blood red. The master sobbed in agony: "Jialing River flowing thousands of miles away, aren't you in pain? It's the sons and daughters of Bashan who hold their chests high and raise their heads to protect their homes and country. Real man, good men are fighting bloody battles with the pack captives here. The arrogant Meng Brother Khan died in the hot spring temple at the entrance of the gorge, and Wang Dechen, the murderous general of Brother Meng, also died in Jinyun Mountain opposite. The mountains and rivers here are the landscapes of heroes. Looking down at the Jinyun Mountain in front of us, where our Han ancestor Xuanyuan Huangdi collected medicinal herbs, he swore: "Drive out the Tuo captives, and give us China."
"Drive out the Tuo captives, and give us China." The master and the apprentice were standing there I burned incense by the river and swore an oath.
"As a master, I have to go out to contact the martyrs. It is very inconvenient here. Master has thought twice about sending you across the river. More than ten miles above is the former large town of Yilichang. There is a big family in the book who is an old friend of the master. He has many ancient books and he is very knowledgeable. You are already eight years old and it’s time to go out and see the world. Otherwise, I will entrust you with a big responsibility in the future as a teacher. You go. There is a letter here. This person will definitely take it in after seeing the letter. Go ahead. "Master sent Zhu Si to the boat and watched the boat go away.
As soon as Zhu Si arrived at the dock of Yilai Town with the boat, he felt fresh. He saw only the dock. Merchant ships gathered, business travelers, and porters came and went. It was always very lively. When I walked up the stone stairs and entered the city gate, I saw Yuan soldiers patrolling back and forth. Zhu Si was walking in the market and saw a high-walled house. Then he took out his master's seal and entered the gate. A gentry walked out of the yard, looked at Zhu Si from head to toe and said, "Is your name Zhu Si?" Zhu Si said, neither humble nor condescending, "The child's name is Zhu Si." The gentry said, "Come here with me." , learn some rules first. This is not a remote corner of your mountain. Go down and do some chores. Manager, what do you want him to do?" The servant, the manager said, "There are some buffaloes in the backyard that need to be tended." The gentleman said, "Okay, let this kid do it." The manager led Zhu Si through a row. He moved to the attic of Pailang Pavilion and settled in the backyard.
Zhu Si drove five or six large buffaloes to the river every morning, and soon became familiar with a group of cowherd boys by the river. . Everyone had a great time running around with Niudong and Shanxi. The cowherd boys saw that Zhu Si was having fun. Today they were playing war, and tomorrow they were giving instructions on where to arrange their troops. It was time to build a palace, which was new to the cowherd boys, who also admired Zhu Si's cleverness. One day, these boys drove a large group of cattle to the mouth of Moertuo Gorge above the Yilai farm in Jialing River, and saw Zhu Si picking up a bamboo. He held a bamboo pole and commanded: "The palace is ahead, brothers, rush in." Kill!". Oh, a group of boys were driving the cattle, waving bamboo blocks and chopping them left and right. They rushed to Moertuo. Everyone cheered. It was so enjoyable. Zhu Si spread his hands and raised his voice, He climbed on a stone and said: "Brothers, today we fought bloody battles and entered the palace." Who should sit in this world? It stands to reason that everyone has a share. But there is only one throne. In this way, I have the throne here. Whoever seizes it first will be the emperor, and whoever fails to seize it can only be a minister. Are you willing?" "Yes. "Yes," the cowherd boys said.
When Zhu Si gave the order, the cowherd boys rushed forward. You pushed me, and I hugged you and twisted into a ball. Just as everyone was exhausted from the fight Zhu Si rolled up his sleeves and watched. At this time, he suddenly ran up to him. Some of them were unconvinced and tried to pull him away, but he used martial arts to knock them down: "Don't argue, I'm already here." One person was not convinced and said, "You are insidious. If you have the ability, you can use force." Zhu Si said: "To compete for power, one must use wisdom and the other is skill." If anyone is still dissatisfied, you can wrestle with me." A few big cowherd boys refused to accept and competed with Zhu Si. But they were Zhu Si's opponents. They were defeated by Zhu Si in a few blows. Zhu Si said with equal emphasis on grace and power: " I have asked you to compete fairly several times, and I have always won. If there is still anyone who refuses to obey, I will hang him here with a millstone on his neck and sink him into the river." All the cowherd boys knelt down in unison and said, "I am willing to listen to the instructions of the Holy One."
Zhu Si again Let it go and say: "You have made great contributions to conquering the country with me. Come here, let us confer officials and titles, and kill cattle to perform sacrificial ceremonies. Prepare wine. "
Everyone is so unhappy, but where can we find the bowl and wine? Zhu Si said that there are holes everywhere at the mouth of the gorge, so we went out to search separately. After a while, someone reported back and said: "We found something in the hole ahead. There are a lot of weapons and sundries, maybe there is wine." Everyone went in and took a look, and sure enough there were wine and weapons. The cowherd boys were very unhappy. Zhu Si said, I have already calculated that there is wine and weapons here. Everyone looked at each other very confused. Zhu Si said, this place was the battleground between the Song Dynasty and Mongolia. If you look up, you will see the deep canyon, which is the place where the naval forces must pass. After passing this pass, Diaoyu City will be unhindered, so the Song army in Diaoyu City once sent heavy troops. This is to prevent a sneak attack by the Mongolian navy. Therefore, there must be food and arsenal for the defenders in this cave. Of course, there will also be wine. Come on, let's kill the cow and let's have a feast. They were in a hurry, lining up in Mo'ertuo, and having a big meal. Suddenly, a cowherd boy burst into tears: "Oh my God, we killed the cow, how about we go back and explain it to you? Your Majesty." Zhu Si's face darkened: "It's really hopeless. As the ancients said, soldiers will come to stop him." Killing a cow makes you cry. If you really go to the battlefield, you will be scared to death.
"Listen to me"
"Put the cow's tail on the stone, and put the cow's nose rope in the stone hole. It means that the cow was swallowed by the demon into the stone crevice, and the cow's butt is still there. "There" made everyone laugh.
[From then on, the mouth of the gorge was renamed Niubi Gorge and Libi Gorge, and the two cows' nostrils are still running to this day.]
< p>The legend of "Tianzi Temple" in Dongyang, Beibei [5] Children's AdventuresThe last episode talked about the story of Zhu Si leading a group of cowherd boys to kill cows in Moertuo. It was finally settled. On this day, Zhu Si had another bad idea, and he led the cattle herders to the entrance of Dongyang Gorge. After a while, they came to the Hot Spring Temple and saw towering old trees and monkeys on the cliffs. There were eagles circling at the mouth of the gorge, which was a bleak scene. Zhu Si couldn't wait to walk ahead because he was thinking about what his master had said about the murderous Meng Ge Khan. As soon as I walked by the stone bridge, I saw the steaming stream. I felt itchy and jumped into the warm pool. All the cowherd boys jumped into the pool naked. The feeling was indescribable. p>
Song Dingwei visited the Hot Spring Temple
Not long after visiting the scenic spot, the mist came out of the crowd
Why use fire when the water is cold?
When guests arrive, they leave new sentences, and people chant old poems.
The pine nuts are falling.
Suddenly, a cowherd boy calls out: "Your Majesty. Look, there is a stone tablet in the pool, and there are words on it." Zhu Si came over and took a look, and sure enough, he said to the children: "Come, let's move it up to see what is written on it." Several children, with their buttocks naked, finally moved it. Go up and see Zhu Si wiping the water dry and starting to read:
A poem about visiting the Wenquan Temple in Song Dynasty
He once commanded 100,000 soldiers in Shanxi, and the sword on his waist is still fresh with blood.
p>The mountain monk didn’t know the hero’s guest, so why bother asking about his name?
Zhu Siqing couldn’t help but said: “Good poem, good poem. What a great spirit." The cowherds stared at Zhu Si and asked, "What is written on it?" Zhu Si said: "This is a poem written by a military general, saying that he is the commander of a hundred thousand soldiers and horses. He killed many people with his sword. There was a monk here who didn't recognize him, so he asked him his name. I got angry after asking him, so I wrote this poem. "Oh! What kind of military commander is the poet?" said the herd cow boy. "Who is that military commander?" Zhu Si shook his head: "I don't know either. Anyway, he is a quite famous general."
"Well said, I didn't expect that this cowherd boy is not only literate and able to answer questions, but he is also so eloquent." Suddenly an old monk walked out of the main hall of the temple. Bullshit. He said in a voice as loud as a bell. It turned out that these cattle herders broke the previous peace here as soon as they entered the hot spring temple. The old monk looked at Zhu Si carefully, with a smile on his face, and said in great surprise: "Unexpectedly, Mingjun is here. this. The sky is sending blessings." The children felt as if they were falling into the clouds. Come, let me tell you the story of this stele. The old monk said that this stele was originally standing in the temple. Later, it was lost for some reason. The person who wrote this poem The man named Quduan was one of the six main forces in the Southern Song Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty established the Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Department on the Sichuan-Shaanxi front line to prevent the Jin army from going south. In the first year of Jianyan, the Jin army launched a large-scale offensive. They fell one after another or suffered heavy losses, but the Song army led by Qu Duan and Wu Jie inflicted heavy losses on the Jin soldiers, which frustrated the Jin soldiers' attempt to go south. At that time, Qu Duan and Wu Jie were blocking the Jin soldiers along the upper source of Tiaojiang. . This poem was written by Qu Duan when he was passing by the river on his way to the court. It was a pity that he was framed and killed. If he had not died, it might not be like this.
Suddenly, the old monk changed the subject and said, "When was this noble man born?" All the cowherd boys focused their attention on Zhu Si. Zhu Si said, "I heard from my master that he was born in the middle of the night, when there is a comet." "Fall." The old monk immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty raises his head to the heavens, and the common people kowtow here." All the cowherd boys followed and knelt down. Zhu Si: "I'm stupid, please give me some guidance." "It's not easy to stay here for a long time. You should follow this path." Go down this river, and after entering the river, go to Danyang [now the Nanjing area]. That is where you can show off your ambitions. In more than ten years, you will be very lucky and noble, and you will rule the world, but your appearance seems to be related to this place." Zhu Si said: "The words of the master, my child will definitely remember, there is still a fate to this place, I don't know where to start." The master said: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. In short, after a hundred years, this fate will come naturally." "After that, the monk walked away.
Zhu Si was visiting the North Hot Spring and found another Song poem stele in the grass.
Inscribed with a poem about Chongsheng Hot Spring Temple
Song Zha Mi Zhong
After bathing in the spring, one is reminded of Chang'an.
The shadows of two dragons are swaying in the water, and there are horses in beards.
After his adventure here, Zhu Si strengthened his confidence and left an indelible impression on him. Please see how similar his poems are to Qu Duan Beiquan's poems.
No. Ruo'an told Monk Zhu Yuanzhang that he had killed millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sword on his waist was still fresh.
The mountain monk did not know the hero's name, so he only asked Xiaoxiao for his name.
After Zhu Si returned to the gentry's house, he told him about his trip to the North Hot Spring. The gentry was very happy and said to Zhu Si: "As expected, senior gentleman, you will become famous."
Start studying the scriptures in the study from today, and I will give you half a year to read all the books here before you can travel far."
The Legend of Dongyang Tianzi Temple in Beibei [6] Children Go Out of the Mountain
In the previous episode, Zhu Si was grazing cattle at a gentry’s house in Yilaichang and met an old monk by chance at the Hot Spring Temple. He returned to Yilaichang and told the gentry about his adventure. The gentry valued Zhu Si even more. Instead of letting Zhu Si herd cattle, he opened his study to Zhu Si to read at will. In his free time, he talked with Zhu Si about ancient scriptures and often took him to Jinyun Mountain and visited ancient battlefields such as Hezhou Fishing City to pay homage to the footprints of the martyrs. At this time, Zhu Si was more mature.
One day, the master of Xishanping Xumi Temple received a letter, asking Zhu Si to go back. Zhu Si had to leave Yilaichang and returned to Xishanping Xumi Temple, where the master and apprentice met. He was very relieved. At this time, Zhu Si noticed that there was a handsome figure standing behind the master, who was as strong as Zhu Si. He asked the master: "Who is this little brother?" The master said: "This is yours." A senior fellow student, his name is Zhang Kun. Zhu Si, who lives in Baoding Temple in Huaying Mountain, was very happy when he saw him. The two were like brothers and admired their martial arts. One night, the master called Zhu Si to his side, took out a package, and opened it to see a red bellyband. There is a word "Zhu" embroidered in the center of the bellyband, and Zhu Si's birthday is embroidered on the back. The master looked at this, and scenes of the past came out, and he told Zhu Si his life, saying, "My child, this is it." It's a treasure left behind by your mother when she gave birth to you. Your surname is Zhu, and your old man's name is Zhu Shizhen. You should be the fourth in the family. You have three brothers. Your home is far away in Gujia Village, Zhongli Township, Haozhou, Huaixi. . Your biological father is Zhu Shizhen, your eldest brother is called Yuanxiu, and your third brother is called Zhu Yuanwen, so they all call you Zhu Si. In order to survive, your parents had to go their separate ways. . As a last resort, your mother went to Sichuan with the merchant ship while she was pregnant. You and your brothers were left at home. Your mother was also destined to beg in the next life. Your mother gave birth to you in the thatched shed outside. Unable to let go of his family, Zhu Si left the package behind as he spoke and burst into tears. It was all a sin of this world that we Han people were not allowed to hold. An inch of iron, saying that we Han people want to rebel. Without iron, how can we cultivate the land and grow food? What will we eat? Doesn’t this force us to rebel? I have to leave this temple that I built with my own hands. Today, Master I tell you this because you have grown up and have to walk your own path in the future, so calling you back is also my farewell to you. Tomorrow, I have booked a boat on the river in Dongyang, so you can go out with the boat. Go find your family. If you can't find you, go find it yourself. The road has to be found. Zhu Si threw himself on the master and said, you are my biological parents. Your great kindness and kindness will never be forgotten by my child. The master said that the court is holding on to the master now, and the master has no choice but to remember that those who do great things must not love their children. The world is still very big outside, and the master will see you off tomorrow morning.
In the early morning, a red sun rises slowly from Jigong Mountain in the east. The golden afterglow shines on Dongyang City and Dongyang Canyon.
A new day has arrived on Tiantai. Day

The mountains are green and the rocks are cloudy. The red sun rises from the east at dawn. The red sky covers the green thorn forest and the dew drops on the ivy. .
The dawn is bright and the clouds are flat. The small Zhangshi Bridge leads to the Buddhist Temple.
The monks of Xumi Temple will be here. They were sent to the foot of the Western Mountain. Zhu Si said goodbye to the monks one by one. Suddenly, Zhu Si ran to the poplar tree, knelt down and bowed, then hugged the tree and cried bitterly, as if he had lost an old friend.
Master, Zhu Si and Zhang Kun were very preoccupied and didn’t speak much. They walked to a Douhua restaurant in Dongyang Town. Master said to Zhu Si, “I’m here to say goodbye to you, the owner of the Douhua restaurant.” They were very happy to see it was an eminent monk. A few people took a rest in the hall, and it was already dusk when the master got up and sent Zhu Si to the river.
