Chapter 17 The Eyes of the Earth in Stone Buddha Town Four Female Lock Dragons
In the second year of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, there was a big breach in the Yellow River, Jun County and Huaxian County became an ocean, the then Dongjun Taishou faced the flood but could not think of any way to deal with it, so he went to the Temple of Heaven to pray and make a wish, praying that God would bless the people of Li no longer suffer from the flood.
At this time, a sorcerer pointed out that the river god wanted to marry a beautiful woman, and as long as he chose 4 beauties and buried them in Tiantai Mountain, the breach could be blocked, and the flood would recede.
Taishou listened to the sorcerer's words and ordered the county orders of Jun County and Hua County to comply. As a result, the four girls selected from Jun County and Hua County were buried alive in the four corners of Tiantai Mountain.
The Yellow River embankment in this area was called the golden embankment in ancient times, which means solid. In the history books, this time to marry the river god is called "please fill the golden embankment with your body".
When thinking of this legend, Lai Buyi suddenly came to his senses. Yes, yes. Tiantai Mountain, or Sinutai, is the key to suppressing this section of the Yellow River!
The giant turtle popped up a few more times, but was smashed by the big rocks and dived into the water again. At this moment, the giant turtle seems to have learned to be obedient, and refuses to surface again.
But now everyone is no longer happy, and one is exhausted in the fierce battle...... Although this so-called battle is just throwing stones down the mountain.
The second is that they are now also faintly discovering that these stones can't really hurt the giant turtle. The water level below the mountain has not been declining.
They have been trapped on this great mountain for most of the day. The clothes on his body have already been soaked, and he is cold, tired and hungry, and this goes on. They're going to get sick themselves, after all, they're all pampered.
Moreover, if the flood does not recede for a long time, they will be trapped in the mountains, and they will starve to death. Now this group of officials. It has worn away all the passion and strength that has burst out.
At the beginning, the kind of pride and ambition of all of us to unite as one, defeat evil, and finally win victory. Now with the cold rain, I am almost numb when I slide down, and I can't feel the slightest warmth in my body. It becomes a drip.
"Where is Father Shang?" a hesitation began to grow in the hearts of the people, and even continued to take root and spread among the people.
Originally, in the face of such a monster, what people wanted most was to come out with a hero and solve this monster by dividing it by two. And all they have to do is cheer in dedication......
And this person, there is no doubt that they all thought it was Wen Fei at the beginning, and it was rumored. The father with boundless mana and vast magical powers, the protector of the country, and the Taoist leader.
But since the beginning, there has been no trace of Wen Fei. Although Cai Jing said that Father Shang had returned to Heaven to get the weapon magic weapon to deal with this monster.
When it started. Everyone was still full of confidence and hope, waiting for Wen Fei to bring a powerful magic weapon to recover the monster that was making waves under the mountain in one fell swoop. But after waiting for so long, there was no trace of Wen Fei, and a kind of suspicion slowly grew.
"Didn't Father Shang see that this monster was too powerful, so he ran away, right?" This suspicion spread rapidly among the crowd like a virus.
The human heart is fragile, often so, when alone. No matter how decisive it is, no matter how confident and rational it is. In groups, they are often infected with each other. Thus wavering, hesitating,
In ancient military camps, in many extreme situations, a little rumor, or a little atmosphere, can make a large army collapse directly......
One of the most famous examples is the Siege of Xia, where the morale of the entire barracks collapsed and the army collapsed after a night of wind. The other is the equally famous Guan Yuguan's second brother who lost the war in Maicheng......
Among these two examples. Whether it is Xiang Yu's subordinates or Guan Yu's subordinates, they are all elite victorious divisions in a hundred battles.
And what's in front of you? a rabble. A rabble of forbidden soldiers, officials, family members, and even officials and lords. If it weren't for this situation, I'm afraid there would have been rumors by now!
Although Cai Jing was helpless against the shape in front of him, he still knew the gradual change in the atmosphere in the crowd. As an old politician who has been up and down in the sea for decades, he has a very clear grasp of people's hearts.
In front of these situations, Cai Jing is not very worried. He believed that Wen Fei would definitely come back. Now I am afraid that even if I don't know how big the water is, although this place is only a tributary of the Yellow River, but suddenly there is such a big water.
In the city of Tokyo, there is no defense. What if this goes straight to the city of Tokyo?
Everyone knows that the Yellow River is a land hanging river. It rises several meters above the city of Tokyo and is protected by a river embankment. It is the ordinary flood season, and the pressure of flood control is extremely great. Suddenly, the water rose so much that the embankment had not had time to be repaired this year......
Just when Cai Jing was anxious, Lai Buyi quietly walked over and said in a low voice: "Xianggong, now I have come up with a way to deal with this giant turtle!"
To be honest, Cai Jing has much more confidence in Wen Fei than those people. Others have only heard of Wen Fei's various things, but he, Cai Yuanchang, has seen Wen Fei's incredible miracles more than once.
Moreover, although this Lai Buyi knows a little feng shui trail. But Wen Fei didn't think that he could be more powerful than Wen Fei, so he wasn't very enthusiastic. So Cai Jing just said "oh", slightly bowed, nothing to do. This is the usual method used by those in power.
Although Lai Buyi will be a generation of grandmaster-level characters in the future, he is still a green raw melon egg at this time. Where did he know this, I thought Cai Jing encouraged him to continue, so he poured beans into a bamboo tube and said all the methods he came up with!
"This place was originally the eye of water, and it is said in ancient times that when King Yu ruled the water, he once shrunk the dragon here. Thinking that the dragon king of Da Ling Mountain also had bad intentions, he must have collected a lot of water vapor with his divine power, so there was such a big water at this time......" Lai Buyi said.
Cai Jing became a little impatient, and said What is the use of this? When he heard Lai Buyi, he lowered his voice and said, "But since ancient times, there has been no way to flood here. But I've never heard of any demons doing anything, do you know why?"
Cai Jing heard a little meaning, and asked with a smile, "Why?"
Lai Buyi said: "This place was originally set up by the ancient masters, and a complete feng shui array was laid down to suppress the water eyes and monsters in this place. Look, there!"
Cai Jing's old eyes were dizzy, and he took out the reading glasses given by Wen Fei from his arms, brought them, and then looked over. Note 1
"It's the stone Buddha!" Cai Jing recognized at a glance. As a scholar, self-cultivation is very important. At least one or several arts must be proficient, but also proficient in history, knowledge, and more importantly, Confucian scriptures. This is the most traditional image of a scholar in ancient times. Of course, the character is good or bad......
Cai Jing himself is a great talent, and when he was young, both Sima Guang of the old party and Wang Anshi of the new party praised him.
Cai Jing's own talent is naturally not bad, and he is also good at exegesis because of his broad understanding of scriptures and righteousness. Of course, it is clear that on this inconspicuous mountain, this stone Buddha is the earliest stone Buddha excavated north of the Yellow River.
It is said that when Shi Zhao was in that year, Shi Le took the words of the Buddha of Tianzhu high monk Tucheng, and the cliff stone was the Buddha statue, and he was looking for Zhang to town the Yellow River.
Legend has it that this Buddha statue is eight zhang high and is located in a seven-zhang high attic, which is called the eight-zhang Buddha Qizhang Tower. At first glance, it sounds very confusing, but in fact, the Buddha's feet are underground.
"This place has been flooded since ancient times, and Zhao's national teacher Buddha Tucheng only repaired this stone Buddha to suppress the water potential. Lai Buyi said: "The local people even directly called this stone Buddha the general of Zhenhe. Based on this alone, we can understand the role of this Buddha statue. ”
"Could it be that this is the eye of the Feng Shui Array?" Cai Jing said strangely.
"No, the eye of the array should be in Tiantai Mountain, that is, the Four Women's Terrace!" Lai Buyi pointed in one direction, but the distance was a little far, and he couldn't see it clearly at all.
"But now that the water is rising so much, I don't know if the four women's platforms have been flooded!"
Cai Jing nodded, that place was the location of the Xuanfang Palace in the Han Dynasty. It is also called the Water God Palace, Xuanwu Palace. According to historical records, in the third year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow River broke the gourd embankment. That is, the Jindi, Qindi, or Handi Liyangjin is called in later generations, and there are 16 counties in Shuiman.
The "Historical Records" river canal book contains: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Jiren and Guo Changfa to break tens of thousands of gourds, and sank their beloved white horses and jade bi, and personally led his ministers to command the blockade project in the Xuanfang Palace.
In the second year of Emperor Heping of the Han Dynasty, the river overflowed again. Dongjun Taishou went to the Xuanfang Palace to worship the river god, please fill the golden embankment with yourself.
Jun County, Huaxian County ordered to build a palace in the four corners of Tiantai Mountain, bury the four daughters of the dragon and tiger who sacrificed themselves to the river, the water is flat, so leave the common name of "Dragon and Tiger Embankment" and "Four Women's Terrace". Since then, there have been many thrilling stories in this place, but they have nothing to do with this article, so I won't mention them anymore......
Thinking of these thrilling histories, Cai Jing's face became ugly. Maybe this time the water is much more troublesome than I imagined. Now Cai Jing just hopes that Wen Fei will be able to come back soon......
But he didn't know at all that Wen Fei at this time was of the opposite sex and inhumane, and he was still fighting with a beautiful woman. Even forgetting him for the time being, Cai Jing still has so many people trapped on Da Ling Mountain and is in dire straits......
"The Stone Buddha and the Four Female Platforms echo each other and suppress the Yellow River Eye here!" Lai Buyi said.
Cai Jing believed in Buddhism at the beginning, but Zhao Ji believed in it. In order to be highly unified with his boss, Cai Jing did not hesitate to abandon his faith and changed to faith. So this product recognized this Buddha statue at a glance, although it is not a big-bellied smile, but it is still an out-and-out Maitreya Buddha.
(Reading glasses have a prescription, but they are generally universal.) I've seen a common reading glasses in the old man's pavilion, and many times there are old men and old ladies who go to the newspaper or something. It's all the same common reading glasses that are used!)
