Chapter 277 Shangqing Palace

The Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi once said in a poem: The tombs of Beimang are high and there are many tombs in Mangshan.

Up to the emperor’s family, down to the merchants and pawns.

Mangshan is also called ghost mountain, and some people even say that under Mangshan is the underworld.

There is also a very interesting legend about the name of Mangshan, which is also related to the Yellow River.

According to legend, a long time ago, there lived an old Taoist and his two apprentices on Kunlun Mountain.

Master and apprentice spend all day in the Kunlun Mountains – practice.

One day Laodao said to his two apprentices, “My teacher is going to visit friends from a distance.”

“What is cooked in the pot outside this cave is a python caught from the East China Sea. You must always pay attention to the firewood under the pot.”

“Once the fire is not prosperous, it is necessary to add firewood, and water should be added to the pot from time to time.”

“Remember, don’t forget.”

After explaining this, Lao Dao left Kunlun Mountain.

In this way, the two disciples added water to the pot every day, one day, one month, one year, ten years.

Hundreds of years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Lao Dao has not returned.

The two disciples were a little tired, and one day the two disciples discussed going down the mountain to play.

So, they kept the fire alive, filled the pot with water, and went down the mountain.

The two disciples originally came back after going down the mountain to play.

But when they reached the bottom of the mountain, the two disciples quickly lost themselves in the world.

I have forgotten what the master told me.

Until some mountain residents said that they saw a giant python coming down from the Kunlun Mountains.

Only then did the two disciples remember that there was still a pot being boiled in the mountains.

The two disciples rushed back to Kunlun in a panic.

By the time they got to the cave, the water in the pot was already dry.

The firewood under the pot has also been put out.

The two disciples saw the giant python escape from the pot.

Swimming in the direction of the East China Sea.

Wherever they passed, a Yellow Water Road appeared, and the two disciples hurriedly chased them along the Yellow Water Road.

And the giant python found them and hurriedly diverted to the north.

Then he turned a corner and swam towards the East China Sea, and the two disciples had to take a shortcut to catch up.

But once the python found them.

Just turn the corner and swim toward the East China Sea, the giant python walks through the waterway left behind.

It is today’s Jiuqu Yellow River.

Besides, when the old man returned to the Kunlun Mountain cave, he found that the fire under the pot had been extinguished.

There is no water in the pot, and the giant python has disappeared.

And his two disciples also disappeared.

The old man understood what had happened.

He scolded: “These two little beasts must be unable to bear it. They went down the mountain to play and let the evil beasts run away.”

At the moment, Lao Dao rode a crane and chased in the direction of the East China Sea.

The two disciples chased the python to the East Sea, but the python escaped into the East China Sea and disappeared.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the two disciples were planning to rest.

From behind came the old-fashioned scolding: “Beast, you two have caused Huang Python to leave a calamity to the world.”

“You two will be suppressed here forever, and guard the waterway to atone for your sins.”

After Lao Dao finished his words, the two disciples became two mountains.

Forever on both sides of the waterway.

Later, people called the waterway that the yellow python walked through as the Yellow River.

The two mountains are called Chasing Mang Mountain.

Later, people in the south of the Yellow River thought that the name of Chasing Mang Mountain was not good.

It was changed to Mangshan, a name that has been used to this day.

At the foot of Shangqing Palace Mountain, there were five or six young men and women at this time.

He was talking and laughing all the way, walking towards the stairs of the Shangqing Palace.

“Ruoxi, take a rest, everyone is a little tired.”

Halfway up the stairs, the two girls started to stop walking, wailing for a rest.

The girl walking in the front looked at the tired look of her classmates behind her.

Shaking his head, he sighed, “Look, I usually tell you to exercise more.”

“Don’t sit at the computer desk all day, and you can’t walk after walking so far.”

“Du Hanzi, do you think everyone is the same as you?”

“Look at Fan Weishu and Cai Nanchi. These big men are sweating profusely.”

“So, it’s not that our physical fitness is poor, it’s that you are too sturdy.”

The girl’s words made the other three boys’ faces slightly red.

When Du Ruoxi heard this, she could only helplessly shake her head.

She is local and these are her college classmates.

This time, we made an appointment to climb Mount Mang together.

It’s just that I have only climbed less than half of the way, and I have rested three times.

It is not the first time for Du Ruoxi to visit the Shangqing Palace.

Her home is in the city and she has been here many times.

Du Ruoxi is very beautiful, and she is also a class-level beauty in the class.

…for flowers…

This time when climbing the mountain, Fan Weishu and Cai Nanchi heard that she was coming, so they had to follow.

Du Ruoxi knew exactly what the two boys were thinking.

It’s just that the flowing water is intentional, and the falling flowers are ruthless.

Du Ruoxi didn’t feel any temptation for these two boys.

Therefore, this time everyone came to climb the mountain together, and Du Ruoxi deliberately walked in front alone.

I just don’t want to have too much interaction with these two boys.

And Du Ruoxi will walk so fast, but also has his own careful thoughts.

You see, you two boys can’t even climb the mountain, so you have the nerve to pursue me.

She hopes that in this way, the two boys can retreat.

Since it is not a holiday, not many people go up the mountain.

There are only a few sporadic tourists.

After a short rest, Du Ruoxi and his party continued on the way up the mountain.

Only when they arrived at the gate of the Shangqing Palace, a few people found it.

Several Taoist priests stood at the door, blocking tourists who wanted to enter the Taoist temple.

“Ruoxi, what’s the matter, isn’t this Shangqing Palace still worshipped?”

I saw a few Taoist priests and persuaded tourists who wanted to enter the Taoist temple.

A girl next to Du Ruoxi asked Du Ruoxi suspiciously.

“No, the Shangqing Palace has always been open to the outside world, let’s go, let’s go and ask.”

Du Ruoxi walked to the door of the Taoist Temple and saw Du Ruoxi’s group approaching.

A young Taoist priest made a bow and said, “Several donors, this temple is not open to the public today, please come back.”

“Daoist, isn’t the Shangqing Palace always open to the outside world, why don’t you let us in?”

A girl next to Du Ruoxi said.

It’s hard to climb here, and if you go back like this.

This is not so much sweat in vain.

“Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate, today Shangqing Palace will have an old person to visit.”

“Please come back, all the donors. If you want to offer incense and worship, you can come back tomorrow.”

The young Taoist explained.

“What kind of deceased has to be sealed when he comes, don’t you, Taoist priests, focus on the emptiness of all directions?”

“This old friend drove away tourists, didn’t he break the precept?”

The girl said reluctantly. predict.
