Chapter 103 Playing in the water

"Don't say it, I've really heard of it."

"Oh?" Chu Xunyu was overjoyed, and finally touched the way, and asked quickly: "Senior, come on."

As soon as he heard the story, Mu Yuan quickly got up and ran to the bow of the boat. As a result, the weight was pressed over and the bow of the boat suddenly sank. The old boatman was so scared that he shouted: "Three guests, hurry up and enter the cabin, and it is about to sink the boat."

When Chu Xunyu heard this, he immediately gave Mu Yuan a angrily glance, pulled the two of them back to the cabin, and then said, "Senior, tell me."

Wang Chen nodded and talked about a past: It was many years ago, when there was a woman with inexplicable magical powers and excellent Taoism. People have forgotten her name, but only remember that her Taoist name was called "Yu Wanyuanjun".

This woman was once famous in the world. The reason was not that she did something earth-shaking, nor that she fought against a hundred, but that Yu Wanyuanjun, who was once a female disciple of Mount Tai Miaozhen Temple, and also the first female disciple who ascended in the daytime and stepped through the world in the history of Mount Tai Miaozhen Temple.

This is not bad? Since ancient times, Mount Tai has a respectful status, which is a place where emperors of all dynasties were granted sacrifices. Even if ordinary monks have infinite yearning, they cannot easily go up the mountain to build huts to practice. Therefore, since ancient times, even though Mount Tai has a strong spiritual energy and a high status, there is rarely a unified sect to manage it, let alone accepting disciples and preaching.

Later in the Southern Song Dynasty, the people in the dynasty became increasingly stupid, the court was corrupt and incompetent, and they were defeated by the Yuan Meng and Jin Kingdom, losing a large amount of Central Plains territory. In this case, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty did not wake up, attempting to cover up the failure with religion, promoted religious culture, and praised Mount Tai, a blessing land of immortals, which led to the infection of even Yuan Meng and Jin Kingdom, and they also strongly believed in Taoism.

Against this background, the disciple of Quanzhen Sect, the later famous "Changchun Zhenren", Qiu Chuji became famous for a while. When he was young, Qiu Chuji went down the mountain to travel, made friends from all over the world, and promoted Taoist culture. Not only was he accepted by the Southern Song royal family, but he was also highly praised by the Yuan and Mongolian and Jin Kingdoms. With his help, Quanzhen Sect became one of the rare Taoist sects in history that successfully established sects on the top of Mount Tai.

In the seventh year of Jin Dading, Qiu Chuji traveled on Mount Tai and ordered a female disciple to preside over the Changchun Temple of Mount Tai. Later, he was given the name of the emperor and changed it to Miaozhen Temple. This "Yu Wanyuanjun" is the disciple of the female leader of Miaozhen Temple. He was the first female disciple in the history of Mount Tai to survive the heavenly disaster and break through the world. Under such a background, his reputation resounded.

It is said that this Yu Wanyuanjun saw through the disputes in the world and was compassionate to the heavens. Before breaking through the void, he felt the wars and sufferings of the people in the world, and the sufferings of the people in the world. Therefore, he sighed like this: "Life is suffering, life is sad, fame and fortune are like passing clouds, but you fight and you will compete with the people in the world, and you will only shed blood. If your family is destroyed and your people are destroyed, it is really a great crime. Looking at the world today, when will you be able to sing and dance to peace?"

So, he used a trick to transform people into millions of white pigeons and fly into the sky and ascend to the fairy world. In order to express his memory of Yu Wanyuan's farewell, people in later generations called "Pigeon Dance to Peace".

"This is its origin." After Wang Chen finished speaking, he looked at Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan.

"Yu Wanyuanjun?" Chu Xunyu was stunned. "In theory, there are countless classics in my family, and all things in the world are hidden. Such famous figures have no reason not to be recorded. Why haven't I read them?"

"Haha, this is not strange." Wangchen smiled, "This is just a story. According to legend, when Yu Wanyuanjun ascended, there were no people present at all. At most, he was a personal disciple, so his reputation was not obvious. It is hard to say whether the art of "Dance in the Pigeon" is real, so it is normal for your family to have no records. When I was traveling around the world, I heard an old friend in Taiyue Temple mention it by chance that he would listen to it as an anecdote, and it doesn't matter whether it is true or false."

"This is natural." Mu Yuan slapped his thigh.

"Oh?" Chu Xunyu and Wangchen looked at each other in surprise, "Muyuan, what did you think of?"

"This is not simple." Mu Yuan laughed, "Recalling that day, the woman said that this technique of pigeon dance in her life is rare, what does it mean?" She paused deliberately, and then shed their appetites, and then said proudly: "It is obvious that the woman in black is a disciple of Miaozhen Temple, and she is also a disciple of Yu Wanyuanjun's descendants. We want to go to Jinan, and there is no need to detour Mount Tai. We go directly to the mountain to find Miaozhen Temple and ask them for people. If we sue them for the crime of being ruthless under the rule, let the disciples suffer the world."

Although the words were playful, this statement made sense. The woman in black was probably the personal disciple of Yu Wanyuanjun, Miaozhenguan of Mount Tai. It seems that it is necessary to take a trip to Mount Tai.

The three of them were talking, and suddenly the old man who was rocking the boat walked in, put down the hat in his hand, and said with a smile: "Three guests, I believe you are all scholars."

"Oh? Why did the old man ask this?" Chu Xunyu said strangely.

"Haha, it's obvious." The old man returned to the stern of the boat and said while shaking the boat, "I think you have a lot of stories about immortals. I think they are all told in the book, just like those scholars from Jiangnan. They all yearn for the blessings of immortals. It can be seen that you are also studying hard in Beijing and will take the exam for fame another day."

"This..." The three of them looked at each other helplessly, and then laughed.

When the old man saw them laughing, he also laughed together, and then sang the water head tune loudly, cooperating with his own boat, and listened to the song: "The south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is wonderful, countless celebrities and talents, beautiful women, endless past events on earth, free for generations, asking the world, where is the paradise? Only the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, the late tune of the water town..."

"Huh?" The three of them were stunned when they heard this song. Mu Yuan asked, "Old man, this song is extraordinary, who is the one who teaches you?"

"Oh, it." The old man said with a smile, "I don't know the name. It was when I was young. I carried a young handsome young man with a young lady with a grand and majestic character. Like you, I talked about the story of gods, so I taught me this song."

"No wonder..." The three of them felt something. I guess this young man and woman were also cultivators who went down the mountain to travel, so this song was full of mist and rain in the world.

"Old man, I heard your accent, and I am also from Jiangnan. I dare to ask where I am from." Chu Xunyu was in a good mood because he found the clue, so he chatted with the boatman.

"I? Old man, I am from Yangzhou."

"Yangzhou? It's a good place." Chu Xunyu smiled, "Li Bai's poems have clouds. In March, the morning tea rice cakes and hair shaving skills in Yangzhou are all very famous. You must take a hot bath and rub your back, which makes people feel fluttering and their minds far away."

"Haha, the young master has also been to Yangzhou." The old man laughed.

"Oh? Yangzhou is so good?" Wang Chen said strangely.

"Then, surely, my senior hasn't been in Yangzhou?"

"No, I just passed by, and I haven't experienced these."

"That's easy. When we get things done in the north, we will stay in Yangzhou when we go back to Jiangnan, have some morning tea and take a hot bath. The master's craftsmanship is not a false reputation. After taking a bath, the hot towel for you is commonly known as the "hot handle". With a swirl of your palm, you will fly over. It's amazing." Mu Yuan quickly introduced and said that he must pull Wangchen to take a look in the world.

"Haha, okay, okay, okay, I will definitely appreciate the scenery of Jiangnan when the time comes." Wangchen laughed happily. No wonder, this period of time was indeed a little harder for this talented old man. He rushed to Suzhou and even Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs were beaten to severely injured before they could take a bite. They had to relax.

Chu Xunyu smiled slightly and then asked, "Where have you been?"

"We are almost at Gaoyou Lake. After passing Gaoyou Lake, we took the waterway and went directly into Hongze Lake. We will arrive in half a day."

Sure enough, the scenery on both sides of the strait gradually faded away from the many restaurants, but instead it was a pastoral scenery. The three of them were in a good mood and had a certain idea. After a while, they said, "Two, can we play a game?"

"Oh? How to play?"

"Simple, I'll write a first couplet. You guys are right. Whoever loses will take off his clothes and go into the water for a walk."

"I'm good to make a suggestion, senior, please give a question."

"Okay, I'll go out the first couplet, and I'll ask the boat to save people. I'll cross a restaurant thousands of miles away and watch the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Haha, what's the difficulty?" Mu Yuan laughed, picked up a piece of rice cake and put it in front of him, "Listen to me, I'm right in the second couplet, sugar-making cakes, the cake is charming, take a piece of red paper to sweeten the hearts of the world."

"Vulgar!" Chu Xunyu curled his lips.

"What?" Mu Yuan was furious, "You said I was vulgar?"

"It's more than just vulgar? It's simply vulgar."

"You..." Mu Yuan's eyes turned pale with anger, and he pointed his hand at his nose, "You can have an elegant one, I'll listen."

"Okay, listen." Chu Xunyu stretched out his hand from the side of the boat, copied it, took out a small fish, and put it back, "I'll give it to the second couplet, the fish will chasing the waves, play with ripples from thousands of miles away, and praise the friendship between old friends."

"Okay!" Wangchen clapped his hands and praised, "Miao, Muyuan, it is indeed much more elegant than your rice cake."

Chu Xunyu laughed: "Please go into the water."

Mu Yuan rolled his eyes and said bad luck. He had to take off his clothes and jump into the water with a normal sound. The old man who was rocking the boat was shocked and shouted hurriedly: "No, no, it's autumn now, the water is cold and the body is frozen."

"It's okay, it's okay..." Chu Xunyu shook his hand, "This kid is in good health. He has been from Jiangnan since he was a child, and he has a good water nature."

As he was talking, Mu Yuan suddenly pulled up the side of the boat from the water, spread his palms and looked at it. He turned out to be holding a jade pendant in his hand, and hurriedly shouted: "Look, I caught it from the bottom of the lake when I just jumped into the water."

Everyone looked very familiar, and Wang Chen said strangely: "My friend Mu Yuan, why do you look so familiar with your jade pendant?"

Mu Yuan spitted out a mouthful of water from the lake: "This thing is an ornament hanging on that boy Hu Xiaolin's waist."

"Not good!" Chu Xunyu was shocked. Hu Xiaolin had an accident and turned around and shouted in a hurry, "Old man, Huo rushed to Hongze Lake!"
