Dong Dezong During the Zhenyuan period, there was a man named Cui Wei, the son of the late Censor Cui Xiang. Cui Xiang is well-known for his poetry and died in the position of Nanhai (now Guangzhou City), so Cui Wei grew up in the South China Sea since childhood. Cui Wei is an open-minded and bold person, likes to make friends with heroes from all over the world, and is generous and not good at managing families. Within a few years, he squandered his property and lived in the temple.
One year, the 15th day of the Central Chinese New Year, local people are used to displaying various rare treasures in Buddhist temples, and hold various festival entertainment activities at the same time. Cui Wei has always liked the excitement, so he went to Kaiyuan Temple to watch opera. I happened to meet an old begging woman who fell and ran over the wine jar at the restaurant and was being beaten by a wine seller. Cui Wei was kind-hearted and asked that he needed to pay a thousand cents, and immediately took off his clothes and compensated the store for the old woman. The old woman was also quite strange. She glanced at Cui Wei, but didn't thank her and left straight.
The next day, the old woman suddenly found Cui Wei and said, "Thank you very much for helping me with the help of the siege. I have no good rewards. I am good at treating tumors and other diseases. Give you some mugwort from Yuejinggang ( Yuexiushan ). If you meet someone suffering from tumors, just use a pillar of mugwort to burn it, it can be cured. Not only can it cure the disease and save the patient, but it can also get a beautiful lady through this." Cui Wei didn't take it seriously and accepted it with a smile. The old woman disappeared.
moxibustion
A few days later, Cui Wei went to Haiguang Temple to play and saw an old monk with a big tumor behind his ear. Cui Wei took the mentality of trying it out and used the moxa sticks given by the old woman to help the old monk treat it. It turned out to be as effective as the old woman said, and the old monk was quickly cured. The old monk was very grateful and said to Cui Wei: "I cannot repay you, but I can only recite scriptures and pray for you. There is a Ren Weng at the foot of the mountain, who is a rich man. He also has this problem. If the man can cure him, he will definitely be rewarded. I will write a letter of recommendation for you, and you can try it."
So Cui Wei brought the old monk's letter of recommendation to Ren's family. When Ren Weng heard that it was recommended by an old monk from Haiguang Temple, he was so happy that he almost jumped up. He quickly invited Cui Wei to his house respectfully. Cui Wei took out the mugwort and cured it. Ren Weng thanked him for his gratitude and said to Cui Wei: "Thank you, sir, for helping me relieve my hardships for many years. If you can't repay me, just give me 100,000 yuan to express your gratitude. You can just stay at home for a few days so that I can do my best to be a landlord."
Cui Wei therefore lived in Ren's house. Cui Wei is proficient in musical instruments. Occasionally, he heard the sound of playing the piano in front of the main hall, and asked the child. He said, "The master's beloved daughter." That is Ren Weng's daughter. Cui Wei thought to himself, is this the beautiful lady the old woman called? So, he borrowed a piano and deliberately played a song for Ren Weng's daughter. The listener of the Ren family’s daughter is intent, and he is also secretly interested in Cui Wei.
If you want to talk about this Ren Weng, you are not a kind person. A evil god was secretly worshipped at home, named One-legged god . Every three years, one person must be killed as a sacrifice to the One-legged God. It was time to worship the sacrifice this time, but we had not found the right person yet.
So Ren Weng had a bad intention and discussed with his son: "This Cui Sheng, who lives in our family, is said to be alone, without relatives or trust, so why not kill him as a sacrifice. I heard that even a great kindness can be ignored, let alone a small favor such as treating a minor illness." So the father and son were about to take action in the middle of the night and kill Cui Wei.
When the Ren family heard about this, they secretly came to tell Cui Wei: "My family worships ghosts and gods. I will kill my husband as a sacrifice tonight. My husband should run away quickly." Cui Wei was frightened and quickly broke through the window and ran away. The Ren family soon discovered it and chased after them for six or seven miles with more than a dozen servants, holding torches and sharp blades. Cui Wei was in a panic and fell into a big dry well. The Ren family couldn't find him, so they gave up.
Although Cui Wei fell into the well, fortunately, there were thick dead leaves deposited at the bottom of the well, almost unharmed. When I saw it at dawn, I realized that I was in a huge crypt, which was a hundred feet deep.The space around is huge, and it can accommodate almost a thousand people. What is even more amazing is that there is a huge white snake more than ten feet long in the middle of the cave. There is a stone trough on the ground, and above the stone trough is a rugged stalactite, with milky white liquid constantly dripping, smelling strange. The liquid dripped into the stone trough halfway, and the white snake lowered its head and drank it. Seeing that the white snake was so magical, Cui Wei didn't care about being afraid, so he kowtowed to the white snake and said, "See the Dragon King. I unfortunately landed here. I was extremely helpless. I hope the Dragon King would be merciful and not hurt me." The white snake seemed to understand what Cui Wei said, nodded slightly, drank the water from the stone trough by himself, and then lie down on the side to sleep after drinking it.
Cui Wei's courage gradually grew when he saw that the white snake did not hurt him. He was hungry and thirsty in his stomach. Seeing that the lotion in the stone trough was like milk, he didn't care about it and immediately drank it full. The stone milk is sweet in the mouth, and I feel refreshed after drinking it.
At this time, Cui Wei observed carefully and found that a large tumor had also developed on the white snake's mouth, so he wanted to treat the white snake. So, Cui Wei hit the stone to make fire, ignite the mugwort, and roasted it at the white snake's mouth. The white snake was indeed very spiritual. He knew that Cui Wei was treating him and stayed motionless. Soon the tumor fell off. The white snake must have suffered a lot a lot. Now that the patient has left, he shook his head happily.
After a while, the white snake put its head in front of Cui Wei and spit out a bead as big as a bowl of mouth from its mouth to repay Cui Wei. Cui Wei refused and said to the White Snake: "The Dragon King is so supernatural, I must have practiced and achieved enlightenment. I can do something small for you, it is not worth mentioning, and I dare not accept your pearl. I just want to guide me to escape from here and return to the world." The White Snake nodded, swallowed the pearl again, and then stretched out his body, looking like he was going to another place. He turned around and asked Cui Wei to ride on its back. Cui Wei saluted the white snake respectfully, then stepped on the snake's back and left.
The white snake carried Cui Wei and crawled into the depths of the cave and walked dozens of miles. The cave was dark and dark, but the white snake was shining brightly, reflecting the stone walls on both sides. I saw murals painted on the stone walls, all of which were ancient figures. Finally, the white snake came to a stone gate, which was carved with exquisite beast rings, and was shining with golden light. There was a faint light from the door.
White snake stopped leaving here and took off Cui Wei and went back. Cui Wei thought that he could return to the world after leaving this door. But when I opened the stone door, I saw that there was a huge stone chamber inside, about thirty or forty feet square. All four walls of the stone chamber were chiseled into rooms of different sizes. In the largest stone chamber in
, a colorful curtain hung, decorated with various gold, silver, pearls and jade, shining brightly. There is a golden incense burner in front of the tent, with dragons, phoenixes, , turtles, snakes, phoenixes, and birds carved on it. They all opened their mouths and sprayed cigarettes, fragrant. Next to the incense burner is a small pond with a brilliant golden wall. The pond is filled with mercury, and lotus carved from various jades are floating on it.
Cui Wei looked around and saw bead curtains hanging on many rooms on the four walls. It was vaguely seen that there were four treasures of the study, Qinse musical instruments. There is a stone room with newly written notes posted outside. Cui Wei suddenly realized that this was probably the cave of some hermit. Seeing that there was no one around, Cui Wei tried to pick up a piano and started playing it.
Before the song ended, the doors of the rooms on all sides were opened. A woman in green pushed the door out and saw Cui Wei. She shouted to the room: "Yujingzi has sent the Cui family's husband." Soon, four beautiful women in feathered clothes and colorful clothes walked out and asked Cui Wei with a smile: "This is the Emperor Xuan Palace. It is a rare opportunity for the Cui family's husband to come here. Please sit down for a while." Cui Wei quickly bowed and asked the four girls in confusion: "I wonder which emperor's Xuan Palace is, are you lucky to meet?" The four girls replied: "Your Majesty the Emperor has gone to Zhurong Banquet, not in the palace."
Cui Wei was wondering who was this emperor? The four girls asked Cui Wei what song he was talking about just now? Cui Wei replied: "Hu Zuo Song". The four girls asked again: "When did Hu Zuo music come from? We have never heard it."Cui Wei explained: "Cai Wenji in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was the daughter of the doctor Cai Yong and she was once wandering in the Huns. When she returned to the Central Plains, she felt that she was in the story of the life of the Huns in , and she composed such a sad and sobbing song. "The four women nodded and said, "It turned out to be a new song, no wonder they haven't heard it before. "Then he ordered people to prepare food and drink to entertain Cui Wei.
Cui Wei was as eager as he returned home, and he could not care about food and drink. He begged the four girls for guidance on the way home. The four girls said, "Since Cui Langjun has come here, it is a rare fate, so why bother to leave in a hurry. The envoy of Yangcheng will come soon, and you can go with him at that time. "At the same time, he also said to Cui Wei: "The emperor has promised to betroth Mrs. Tian to you as his wife, and you can meet now. "
Cui Wei didn't know the clues and did not dare to answer rashly. The four girls ordered the maid to summon Mrs. Tian to come. But Mrs. Tian refused to come and said, "I didn't receive the emperor's edict, so I dare not meet Cui Jialang in private. "
The four girls had to say to Cui Wei: "Mrs. Tian is the daughter of King Qi, who is virtuous and virtuous, and is unparalleled in beauty. I hope Mr. Cui will treat you well and kindly. This is also your marriage in your previous life. "Cui Wei asked curiously: "I wonder who this King of Qi is? "
Tian Heng Five Hundred Sex
Four women said: "The King of Qi is Tian Heng . After the Han dynasty unified the world, King of Qi Tian Heng refused to surrender to Han and led 500 disciples to live in the island. "Cui Wei suddenly realized that Mrs. Tian was actually a person from the Han Dynasty .
Not long after, the sunlight came slowly from above her head. Cui Wei looked up and saw a hundred feet tall, revealing the blue sky as big as a bowl. At this time, the four women said, "The envoy of Yangcheng has arrived. "A Aries slowly descended from the sky and fell on the ground in a moment. On the back of the sheep was sitting a man dressed in ancient clothes and a serious expression, holding a large pen and a green bamboo slip engraved with seal characters. The man respectfully presented the bamboo slips to the table, and the four women served the maids read the text on it: "Guangzhou Governor Xu Shen is dead, and the guardian Zhao Chang will succeed to the prefect. "It turned out that the envoy was sending a letter. After reading the letter, the four girls said to the envoy: "Cui Jialang wants to return to Panyu, so I have to ask the envoy to take him back. "The envoy nodded and agreed.
The four women turned around and said to Cui Wei: "When the man returns, remember to repair the temple for the envoy and reshape the golden body in return. "Cui Wei naturally agreed. The four women said again: "The emperor has his own will and give the husband national treasure Yang Shuzhu to the husband. After you take it back, a Hu people will buy it for 100,000 yuan (.1 million x 1,000 text = 100 million text ). "I ordered the maid to take out the beads from a jade letter and hand them to Cui Wei.
Cui Wei was grateful and frightened, and said to the four girls: "I have never visited the emperor, and I am not close to the emperor, so why did the emperor give such a generous gift? "The four girls replied, "The husband's ancestor once wrote a poem on Yuetai. The governor Xu Shen felt moved when he saw this poem and specially repaired the royal tomb. The emperor was grateful for this and even wrote poems and sang them together. The reason for giving the beads has been written in the poem. Even if I don’t wait, the husband will know about it in the future. "Cui Wei asked: "I don't know what poem the emperor wrote?" "The four women ordered the maid to write a poem on the pen of the envoy of Yangcheng. The poem says: ", a thousand-year-old deserted platform is blocked by the road, and the prefect is plastering with heavy pepper. I feel that you are wiping you so much, and I repay you with the beautiful woman and the pearl. " Cui Wei asked again: "I wonder which dynasty the emperor was from? "The four girls still avoided answering and said, "You will know in the future. "
The four girls said to Cui Wei again: "On the day when we arrive at Zhongyuan Festival, please prepare fine wine and delicacies in the quiet room of Pujian Temple in Guangzhou. We will send Mrs. Tian to gather with you. "Cui Weiwei said solely. Before leaving, the four girls said again: "I heard that you have Bao Gu's mugwort, please leave a little more, we will be useful. "Cui Wei was completely unlucky, leaving half of the mugwort he brought, but he still didn't know who Bao Gu was. After
, Cui Wei followed the messenger to ride on the back of the sheep. The aries rose into the air and flew out of the crypt and landed on the ground.When Cui Wei came to his senses, the messenger and Aries had disappeared. Look at the time of the day, it is already the fifth day. Looking not far away, there is what the four girls call Pujian Temple.
Cui Wei returned to the house he lived in Guangzhou. The owner was surprised: "Where did you go? Why didn't you go back for three years?" Cui Wei did not dare to tell the truth, so he made up a reason to deal with it. When asked about the Guangzhou Governor, the original Governor Xu Shen was dead, and the successor was Zhao Chang. Cui Wei thought of what he saw in the cave, which seemed like a dream, but the pearl was in his arms, and it was true. After a little settled down, Cui Wei took the pearl to Guangzhou city, where the Persian merchants lived, secretly selling the pearl. An old Hu man knelt down to salute when he saw this pearl. He said, "My husband has been to the tomb of Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue, otherwise how could he get this pearl?" It turned out that this pearl was actually the burial object of Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue, the King of Nanyue, and the burial object.
Nanyue King Zhao Tuo
Cui Wei told the truth, and then he realized that the emperor was referring to Zhao Tuo. Zhao Tuo once called Nanyue Wudi , so it is okay to call himself emperor. Cui Wei asked the old Hu people to tell the story of Baozhu again. The old Hu people said, "This Yangsuizhu is the national treasure of my great food country. In the early Han Dynasty, Zhao Tuo sent strangers to steal from our country to Panyu, which has been a thousand years since then. There are people who can predict that the national treasure will soon be Angelica sinensis. Therefore, the king ordered us to come to Panyu to search with a large amount of money. As expected, this treasure will be seen again today." So he bought the pearl with Cui Wei for 100,000 yuan. The old Hu people used a special liquid to clean the beads, and the beads suddenly became radiant and illuminated the entire room.
Cui Wei got huge wealth and began to buy property; he searched for the envoy of Yangcheng, but after inquiring for a long time, he could not find the envoy. Once, Cui Wei happened to go to the City God Temple for something, and suddenly saw a statue of the god who looked very similar to the messenger. He then carefully observed the pen in the messenger's hand. There were fine small characters written on the pen holder, which was the poem written by the maid. Cui Wei prepared a messenger of wine, food and worship, redecorated the statue of the gods, and expanded the temple. Only then did I know that Yangcheng refers to Guangzhou City.
Wuyang City is Guangzhou
Cui Wei secretly went to search for the Ren family who had been kind to revenge. When they got there, the nearby villagers told him: "The place you are talking about is the grave of Nanyue wei Renxiao ."
Cui Wei climbed onto Yuewangtai again and saw the poem written by his father Cui Xiang: "The pines and cypress heads on the Yuejinggang are old, and autumn grass grows on the Yuewangtai. The ancient tomb has no descendants for many years, and the savages have trampled into the official path." There is also a poem by King Yuexianghe next to it, but the handwriting is strange and unrecognizable. Cui Wei asked the local officials, and the officials said, "The governor Xu Shen climbed over the King's Terrace and saw the poem mentioned by Censor Cui. He sighed that after the emperor's death, the graves were deserted and no one paid homage to the temple, so he re-dressed the palace and made it look brand new." It is believed that Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue, was grateful to Cui Wei's father for his grace in writing the poem, so he treated Cui Wei with special preferential treatment.
Waiting on the day of Zhongyuan Festival, Cui Wei prepared the elegant and clean vegetarian and sweet wine in the quiet room of Pujian Temple, waiting for Mrs. Tian to arrive. It was almost midnight, and the four women came with Mrs. Tian. Mrs. Tian is beautiful and elegant, and Cui Wei fell in love with her as soon as she saw her. The four girls talked and laughed and drank with Cui Wei, and said goodbye as soon as dawn. Cui Wei prepared a generous gift and a letter to the four girls to take it, and expressed his pious gratitude to the King of Yue. After Li Shiqi
Li Shiqi
, Cui Wei took Mrs. Tian home with him and became a couple's favor. Cui Wei asked his wife, "Since the wife is the daughter of King Qi, how could she marry into Nanyue?" Mrs. Tian sighed and said, "The country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. After his father Tian Heng died, he was captured by King Yue and became his concubine. After King Yue died, I was buried with him. I don't know what era it is. The scene of Tian Guangcang killing Li Shiqi was like yesterday in . Whenever I recall the story of that year, I couldn't help but burst into tears.”
Cui Wei asked again: “Who are the four girls? "The wife said: "They are all concubines buried with the burial of King Zhao. Two of them were presented by Yaoguang, the King of Ou Yue, and the other two were presented by Wuzhu, the King of Min Yue. "Cui Wei then realized that all he saw was ghost immortal .
asked again: "Who is Bao Gu the four girls mentioned? "Answer: "Bao Gu is the daughter of Bao Liang, the prefect of the South China Sea, and the wife of 月1月1月1月2月2月2月2月2月2月2月2月2月2月2月2月2月2月2月2月2月2月2� She is good at treating tumors and warts with mugwort, and is famous for the world's . "It turned out that the old woman Cui Wei rescued was Bao Gu. He asked again: "Why are you called the White Snake Yu Jingzi? "The wife explained: "At that time, the immortals often rode it to worship Yujing, the immortal world, so they called it Yujingzi. "
Cui Wei has drunk the strange stone milk in the crypt and has since been light and healthy, and her skin is as delicate as a baby. After living in the South China Sea for more than ten years, Cui Wei spent all his wealth and took Mrs. Tian to Luofu Mountain to visit Bao Gu, but since then he disappeared. (From Pei Yang of Tang Dynasty, "Legend")
This story comes from Tang Dynasty legend , which mentions many historical allusions, such as the immortal An Qisheng, Ge Hong, Bao Aunt, historical figures, Zhao Tuo, King of Nanyue, Nanhai County, Ren Xiao, King of Qi Tian Heng, and allusions such as Cooking and killing Li Shiqi, Tian Heng, and 500 soldiers. It’s a great pleasure to read the stories and learn history.
But Ren Xiao’s evaluation in history is good, how come he became Ren Weng who repays his grudges with grudges?
