The next day, the three of them continued to tour Jianye City and first came to Dongxuan Temple.
Dongxuan Temple was located on the south side of Fangshan Mountain in Jiangning District of Nanjing City. It was a royal Taoist temple built by Sun Quan, the founding emperor of Dongwu. It was the birthplace of Taoism and had a very high status in the history of Taoism. It had a high standard and a large scale. Its believers spread all over the world and had a far-reaching influence. Its founder was Ge Xuan of the Six Dynasties. He was an important representative figure in the history of Taoist health preservation and alchemy.
His nephew, Ge Hong, had benefited from his ancestor Ge Xuan. He had cultivated in Dongxuan Temple and finally refined the Golden Elixir, becoming a famous pharmacist in Chinese history." The Golden Elixir was refined to the disadvantage of Ge Hong " had always been remembered by the general public and Chinese medicine practitioners. He had made outstanding contributions to the development of traditional Chinese medicine and health preservation.
When the Ancient Cave Mystic Temple was in its heyday, it had one palace, three views, six halls, nine platforms, and eighteen halls.
Dongxuan Temple now has two medicinal washing pools and two ancient wells. In addition, Dongxuan Temple has a family heirloom tortoise snake Xuanwu bronze ware.
After leaving Dongxuan Temple, they came to Mount Tang Hot Spring. Naturally, they had to soak in the hot spring. Each person who soaked in the hot spring for two hours was ten taels of silver. There was a hot spring owner who was responsible for collecting the silver. Qiao Feng paid ninety taels of silver to the hot spring owner and began to soak in the hot spring. They soaked in the hot spring for six hours. After soaking in the hot spring, they felt refreshed.
Mount Tang's ancient name was " Hot Spring ". It was named after the hot spring and had a history of more than 500 years. Hundreds of years ago, Mount Tang's hot spring was named the imperial hot spring during the Xiao Liang period of the Southern Dynasty. Since the Southern Dynasty, generations of dignitaries and scholars came here to visit and bathe. During the Xiao Liang period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was named the " Holy Spring " by the emperor.
Tang Shan Qi Fang
The Seven Houses of Mount Tang was one of the five golden flowers. It was named after the seven traditional handmade workshops in the village: tofu shop, vermicelli shop, noodle shop, sauce shop, oil shop, cake shop, and tea shop. The unique experience of the farmhouse workshop would make people feel the most simple and honest fun of farming.
Tang Jiajia
The Tang family was a small and fresh grassroot hot spring village. The natural environment was beautiful and the cultural history was profound. It was adjacent to Anji Lake, which was known as the "Little Jiuzhaigou", and the famous Dai Li Building was in the north.
Then, he left the hot spring and came to Shitang Village.
After entering Shitang Village, there was a wooden boardwalk that connected the main road and the village across the Meixi River. It was half a mile long and spanned across the Meixi River. It was a spectacular scene.
jiulongtan
Stone pond bamboo sea nine dragon pool, beautiful story has been passed down to this day. In the local area, the myths and stories of the Nine Dragon Lake were known to all. Legend had it that the Ninth Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace visited the stone pond and found that the river pond had dried up. The crops in the fields had not been harvested, and the farmers wanted to cry but had no tears. The ninth prince was kind-hearted and eager to save the people. He did not report to the Heavenly Court and rained privately.
The Jade Emperor was furious when he found out. Without any explanation, he banished the Ninth Prince to the mortal world and locked him on the dry riverbed of the stone pond. The Ninth Prince was tormented, and he was in so much pain that he wanted to die. The villagers wanted to save the Ninth Prince, but the chains were from the Heavenly Court and could not be approached. They could only burn incense and pray for the Ninth Prince every day. Later, when Guan Yin Bodhisattva learned that the ninth prince was punished for saving the people, she felt pity for him. She rushed to the stone pond and hid in the air. She picked up a willow branch and sprinkled a few drops of rain on the ninth prince. The pond immediately became covered with blue waves. The ninth prince was stained with immortal water and broke his shackles. He shook his head and wagged his tail and flew away.
The people of Shitang were grateful to the Ninth Prince, so they called the pond where he was imprisoned "Nine Dragon Pond". Because the water in the pond was transformed by the rain of Guan Yin Bodhisattva, the water in the pond was clear and sweet.
The legendary Shi Wanfu and his mansion
It was said that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a man named Shi Baotian in Shitang Village in front of Hengxi. His wife gave birth at noon on a certain summer day. Suddenly, dark clouds rolled in the clear sky, and the world turned dark in an instant, as if it was night. Mrs. Shi had abdominal pain in the middle of the night. She shouted at the top of her lungs for more than ten hours. She had no strength at all. The Shi family, midwives, and servants were extremely frightened by the sudden darkness and felt very unlucky.
However, following a flash of lightning in the air, a baby boy's crisp cry broke through the deathly still village. Strangely enough, when the child landed, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly disappeared and the sun returned to its bright and beautiful state. The whole Shi family and the villagers were amazed. They said that the stars had fallen from the sky. This child would be extraordinary in the future and would be very rich and noble.
Shi Baotian regarded it as a blessing from the gods and went to the temple to offer incense. He named the child Shi Wanfu, hoping that his family would prosper and bring honor to his ancestors.
On a certain spring day when Shi Wanfu was twelve years old, an old Taoist came to the former Shitang Village. He had white hair and white eyebrows, and he looked like an immortal. No one knew how old he was. When the old Taoist came to the Shi family, he claimed that he was a Taoist priest of Maoshan and had a special master-disciple relationship with Shi Wanfu. He wanted to take him as a disciple and help him cultivate.
The Shi family thought of the strange phenomenon when the child was born and naturally believed it. They prepared a large sum of money to express their gratitude, but the Taoist priest politely declined. The Taoist priest said that he taught him martial arts in Shitang Mountain and asked the Shi family not to disturb him. After saying that, he took the child out and disappeared.
Shi Wanfu followed his master to the top of the mountain. The surrounding forest was vast, and the peak was surrounded by clouds. He grew up in the small mountain and followed his family to travel through the forest. Why didn't he know about this fairyland? He was very puzzled. The Taoist priest asked Shi Genqi to practice breathing exercises, fist moves, fighting techniques...
sunrise and set. Five days had passed. Each day seemed to be longer than any day in the past twelve years. Shi Wanfu grasped the skills taught by the Taoist priest very quickly. He was extremely skilled and used them freely.
The Taoist priest called Shi Wanfu over and told him that the fate between us as master and disciple had ended. He was not a mortal, but a Venus. Although he had taught him five days of skills, it had been five years in the human world. Everything was a calamity. The mountain monsters in Shitang Village were causing trouble. Go and save them.
Before leaving, the old immortal gave his disciple a five-foot bamboo pole and told him to make it a Ruyi stick. He told him to eat dew at night, make it a horse when he walked, and make it a weapon when he fought. Little did Shi Wanfu know that his parents regretted their decision the moment he left the village. They thought that the old Daoist had cheated their child out of the village. They searched for him for two to three years to no avail and were forced to give up on him as if he was no longer alive.
Qianshitang Village was a mountain village that belonged to the Yuntai Mountain Range. There were two mountains in the north and south of the mountain pass. The mountain peaks in the north and south were like roosters and hens, hence the names Rooster Mountain and Hen Mountain. In the second year after Shi Wanfu left home, a strange thing happened. The rooster mountain and hen mountain had absorbed the essence of the sun and moon for thousands of years and began to become spirits. Every night, they would turn into a male and a hen. They would call out and ride together, turning into the "Night Mountain". In the morning, they would naturally separate.
Between the peaks was the mountain road that the villagers of Qianshitang and the villagers of the Anhui Province had to pass through. The two mountains merged, and people who rushed to the road at night were often squeezed into meat pies and died. The matter had frightened the villagers and alarmed the imperial court, but no one could do anything about it.
Shi Wanfu landed in the village on his bamboo horse. When he was drinking water by the village pond, he was shocked to see a tall and handsome young man reflected in the water. Five days ago, he was just a child. He did not expect to become a handsome and strong young man in just a few days. However, when he thought of his master, Taibai Jinxing's words, he understood everything. When he knelt in front of his parents, everyone was stunned.
Everyone looked left and right as if they were dreaming. When they heard that he was going to kill the rooster mountain and hen mountain monsters at night, everyone tried to stop him, saying that he shouldn't be stupid. Humans couldn't defeat the monsters, and they would turn him into a meat patty. Shi Wanfu jumped up anxiously and actually flew onto a cloud in the air. The entire village was dumbfounded. At this moment, the sun was setting in the west. The villagers kept waving their hands and shouting to be careful.
When the sky darkened, the rooster mountain in the south became a valiant rooster, and the rooster mountain in the north became a gentle hen in the blink of an eye. The rooster mountain moved quickly and closed in on the hen mountain. At this moment, Shi Wanfu shouted loudly. The demon ghost did not want to cause trouble. He raised his bamboo stick and struck at the top of the rooster mountain. With a flash of lightning and a loud bang, the rooster mountain lost its head and was obviously shorter than the hen mountain. The rooster mountain returned to its peak appearance.
Seeing this, Mother Chicken Mountain opened its mouth to peck Shi Wanfu. He smashed the bamboo stick behind him, and a stone pond instantly appeared on the mountain. Clear spring water gurgled out. The bamboo stick shook nine times, and nine small dragons jumped into the pond, turning it into the current Nine Dragon Pool. The hen mountain immediately returned to its original appearance.
Then, Shi Wanfu used a bamboo pole to cut a deep ditch from the edge of the pond to the east. The mountain stream immediately flowed horizontally into the distance, following the people by the stream to cultivate all the way to the outside of the mountain. The land flourished because of the stream and was named "Hengxi" by later generations.
When the imperial court found out that Shi Wanfu had eliminated the mountain demon, the King of Nanqi summoned him personally and made him a Great General. Of course, good things came one after another. He was even taken a fancy to by the local rich gentry and was betrothed to him.
However, at that time, he was an official in the capital, so he did not bring his family members to the capital. For the sake of the husband and wife reunion, it did not affect the appearance of the emperor at the appointed time. He had no choice but to use magic and ride bamboo as a horse. Every night, he returned home at noon and went straight to the capital. As the confidentiality work was done extremely well, the villagers did not know where he went. Naturally, the government and the family took care of him and lived in peace.
One day, the old mother suddenly saw her daughter-in-law's belly was big, thinking that she did not abide by the woman's way, under interrogation, as a last resort, the daughter-in-law truthfully confessed the whole story. The old mother thought that the capital was far away and knew that her son had some immortal techniques, but she was still skeptical. She decided to find out.
One afternoon, Shi Wanfu rode his bamboo horse back to his house without making a sound. He placed the bamboo stick on the ground in the yard, opened the door, and went to sleep. Who knew that the old mother, who was hiding in the central room, would mutter to herself after the doubts in her heart dissipated. How could such a treasure be casually thrown away? What if someone took it away? Thus, she went to the courtyard to pick up the bamboo stick and leaned against the eaves before leaving.
The next day, Shi Wanfu got up and left the house on time. He was anxious when he saw Zhu Ma leaning against the door. It turned out that the bamboo horse did not absorb dew and lost its spirituality, so it could not use it freely. In the past, as long as Shi Wanfu stepped on his bamboo horse, his ears would be blown away by the wind and he would fly away. But today, the bamboo stick had become an ordinary stick. His body couldn't empty, so he could only run quickly.
Shitang was 70 miles away from Jinling. If he couldn't reach the throne room and attend the morning court, he would definitely cause a disaster. He sprinted all the way to Hengxi Taowu Community. The sun had already risen, and the east was pink. At this moment, the officials in the capital were attending court. Shi Wanfu sighed. His future and fate were really unpredictable. The loyal him did not retreat and escape. He was determined to go to the capital to beg for forgiveness and obey his orders.
In order to warn others to be realistic and pragmatic, they did not learn from Shi Wanfu, who had special skills. They were lucky and took it lightly. They made a big mistake and renamed the village of Taowu Community as "Peach Blossom Village". Even now, there is still a sculpture of "sunrise" beside the village.
Moreover, the ministers were surprised to not see Shi Wanfu during the morning court session. Because he was the leader of the generals, the generals were naturally in chaos when he did not show up. A minister accused the emperor of being disrespectful. The emperor knew that he had some immortal skills, and the villain slandered him for having the ambition to usurp the throne. He did not attend the morning court today, so he could kill him. Thus, the Emperor immediately issued an imperial edict and sent people to capture him, claiming that anyone who resisted would be killed without mercy.
An official who was close to Shi Wanfu knew that he was upright and had profound immortal techniques. He felt very sorry for him, so he secretly sent his cronies to tell him the inside story halfway and advised him to leave the capital quickly. General Shi rushed back home and prepared to escape Shitang Village with his family. However, Shi Wanfu's magical bamboo stick could not be used. He helped the old and brought the young along. The army of pursuers had already arrived. He could not help but sigh loudly. I, Shi Wanfu, am in trouble. I'm finished today!
Just as he was feeling disheartened, a white light flashed, and the Taibai Jinxing appeared in front of his family. Shi Wanfu knelt down and shouted," Master saved my family's lives." Taibai Jinxing told him to quickly kill a black dog raised at home and skin it to make a raft. The family stood on the dog skin raft, and the dog skin raft could help the family leave.
Shi Wanfu followed his plan and got on the dog skin raft with his family. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the wind. The dog skin raft lifted his family into the sky and flew straight south. When they arrived at the main peak of Hengshan Mountain, they suddenly saw the mountain peak blocking their way. They saw the dog skin raft rush towards the mountain peak like an arrow leaving the bow. The mountain peak split open, and one peak split into two peaks, forming the current " Twin Spikes Mountain."
The dog skin raft carried Shi Wanfu straight to the Three God Island of the East Sea. It was said that Shi Wanfu was an immortal who had descended to the mortal world and was ranked among the immortals on the island. From then on, he became his happy immortal.
During his escape, Shi Wanfu's divine bamboo stick was lost in the mountains. It was said that the large forest later became the current ten thousand mu bamboo sea, becoming a natural landscape.
After visiting these three places, the sun had already set. The three of them rode back to the inn.
