Chapter 1087 : Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-Nine The Iron Tree Blooms
"Okay, let's go to Xishan Wanshou Palace!"
The driver responded, immediately drove the car out, and then drove the two of them straight to the Wanshou Palace.
The Xishan Wanshou Palace is also a famous sight. The driver introduced it while driving. The reason why it is called "Palace" is because Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty inscribed it on his forehead "Miaoji Wanshou Palace".
The Longevity Palace was originally a palace built to commemorate Xu Zhenjun. According to legend, there are thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed places in the world where gods live. The Xishan Mountain where Xu Zhenjun practiced was ranked as the fortieth blessed place and is a famous "Ascension Blessed Place"
!
Regarding Xu Zhenjun's past, Lu Junbao was separated from him by countless dynasties, so naturally he didn't know about it, but he had seen it in the seventh heaven, but that Xu Xun was no longer worthy of the respect of the world.[
"Brother driver, it seems that this Longevity Palace is quite famous!" Lu Junbao asked with a smile after hearing what the driver said.
The driver nodded and said: "Of course, who among us locals doesn't know this? Every three-year-old child knows that Xu Zhenjun is an immortal. He lived to be 136 years old and ascended to heaven in the Wanshou Palace in Xishan. His family is more than 40 years old.
Even the poultry and livestock have ascended to heaven. The allusion to the idiom 'when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven' comes from this story of Xu Zhenjun!"
Yu Xinlei said "Oh" and suddenly realized: "I have heard this idiom many times, but I never thought that it was because of Xu Zhenjun!"
When Yu Xinlei was in school, her grades were outstanding, but she knew very little about this type of allusion. This was indeed the first time she had heard of the origin of "one person attains enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."
However, Lu Junbao did not pay attention to this, but pondered deeply. Although it was touched in his mind, it did not mean that the place Xishan Longevity Palace was necessarily related to the fragmentary memories in his mind.
But whether there is any trick or not, we have to go to Wanshou Palace to see it on site.
The original name of the Wanshou Palace was "Xuxian Cave", which was changed to "Youweiguan" in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It was not until the reign of Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty that the emperor personally wrote "Yulong Wanshou Palace", and then it was upgraded to a palace. During the Zhengde reign of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor personally inscribed "Yulong Wanshou Palace".
"Miaoji Wanshou Palace" has made great renovations to Wanshou Palace, making Wanshou Palace one of the largest Taoist holy places.
The driver drove out of the city, then got on the highway and drove towards Xinjian County. About two hours later, he got off the highway at the Xishan Town exit of Xinjian County. At this time, he was less than ten kilometers away from Xishan.
After exiting the expressway, the speed of the car slowed down. Lu Junbao and Yu Xinlei saw that most of the people coming and going on the road were tour buses. It seemed that the Longevity Palace was indeed quite famous.
"Brother driver, how far is it?" Yu Xinlei saw Lu Junbao's impatient expression and asked quickly.
The driver replied without looking back: "It's almost there, less than two miles away!"
The closer Lu Junbao got to Xishan Wanshou Palace at this time, he didn't know why, but he became more and more irritable. This is very strange. After he gained spiritual energy and understood the chapter of Qimen Escape, his heart was already extraordinary, even if
At the critical moment of life and death, I have never been as anxious as now!
"Ronald, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Yu Xinlei saw that Lu Junbao was sweating on his forehead and frowning. He seemed to have unspeakable worries and sorrows. She felt really strange. Ever since she met this Xiao Luo, she had felt that although he was young, he was extremely mature.
In addition, after saving her, she felt that this Ronaldinho was even more unusual, and she had implicitly regarded him as someone she relied on.
It's just this feeling that Yu Xinlei doesn't want to think about. After all, she only has Lu Junbao in her heart and can't tolerate a second man. Whether in her heart or naturally, she is rejecting this Xiao Luo from entering the depths of her heart.
The car drove to a large parking lot a few hundred meters away from the Longevity Palace and stopped. Vehicles were prohibited from entering further inside.
The driver parked the car and came over to show Lu Junbao and Yu Xinlei the way.
And this period is not the peak tourist season, so there are not many tourists. Compared with amusement places such as parks and zoos, places like Wanshou Palace are far less attractive than other types of places.
Apart from palace-like buildings, statues of the True Lord, former cultivation residences, etc., there are no other interesting places. The appeal to young people or children is almost zero. Children and young people like fun, exciting, and buildings.
No matter how great it is, to them, it is just a lifeless building.[
Tickets are ten yuan per person in peak season, half of the price in off-season, five yuan per person, group tickets are three yuan per person, and now the ticket is five yuan.
The driver didn't ask Lu Junbao and Yu Xinlei for money. It only cost fifteen yuan for the three of them, so he paid for the ticket directly.
The original Taoist holy land had Taoist successors, but now, there are no real Taoist priests. The Wanshou Palace has been managed by the local Cultural Bureau. Part of the ticket revenue is turned over to the finance, and part is used to repair and manage the Wanshou Palace.
Part of it is used to pay managers’ salaries.
Lu Junbao and Yu Xinlei followed the driver straight to the gate of Longevity Palace. In front of the majestic and beautiful gate, the square was full of vendors with big parasols, selling food and all kinds of food.
Various snacks, some selling souvenirs, jade and wood carvings hanging on ropes, can ward off evil spirits and have endless functions.
Listening to the cries of the vendors, Yu Xinlei secretly laughed. The products sold in front of the monk's temple were all blessed by Bodhisattvas, and the products sold in front of the Taoist temple were all products that could suppress evil and demons. In fact, they were all fake.
Lu Junbao didn't pay attention to this at all. He just tilted his head and looked around. The irritable thoughts in his mind were getting stronger and stronger. He didn't know why. It seemed that he didn't want to be in the Longevity Palace.
What I saw was normal.
This made Lu Junbao determine that it was the problem with the memory fragments in his mind, because after he absorbed those memory fragments into his mind, they became his own memory fragments, and the likes and dislikes in these memories naturally became his.
Yes.
And Lu Junbao has never been here before in his whole life, so there is no way he has anything to do with the Longevity Palace. If there is anything, it can only be that he absorbed the unknown energy of the air flow in the black water pool.
reason.
"Would you like something to eat?" Yu Xinlei asked Lu Junbao. Since you are here to see the scenery, eat snacks and buy some souvenirs, it is necessary, even if the souvenirs are just deceptive gadgets.
"I'm not hungry, Sister Yu. You can eat whatever you want. I'll go inside and take a look..."
Lu Junbao seemed to feel more and more resentment filling his chest, and he just wanted to find out what attracted him here. To describe it in one sentence, it would be "just follow your feelings!"
"Then let's go and see together..."
Lu Junbao didn't want to eat those snacks. Yu Xinlei just followed his wishes, and of course she didn't want to eat those snacks. She immediately said, "Okay, let's just take a look at the Longevity Palace!"
When we arrived at the main hall of Wanshou Palace, it was picturesque with double eaves, resplendent and embroidered with gold and brocade. A statue of Xu Zhenjun was sitting in the middle, his whole body was golden, and there were six real people on each side.
Lu Junbao looked at the statue of the True King carefully in front of the palace. To be honest, the appearance of this statue of the True King was somewhat similar to the Xu Xun he saw in the Seventh Heaven. However, Xu Xun in the Seventh Heaven was far less similar.
This image of the true king is powerful and imposing.
After looking at it for a while, Lu Junbao didn't feel the source of his annoyance in front of Xu Zhenjun's statue. It seemed that the place that made him uneasy was not here.
Since the source is not here, Lu Junbao has no intention of spending time here. After dealing with Xu Xun in the seventh heaven, he has no respect for his statue.
The driver followed and introduced to Lu Junbao and Yu Xinlei, but his introduction was only half-informed and not professional. However, Lu Junbao did not pay any attention to them.
From the main hall to the side hall and then to the backyard, Lu Junbao looked around one by one. In the backyard, there were six towering trees that looked to be many years old. The driver introduced these ancient trees: "These six ancient pines and cypresses are all
They are more than hundreds of years old, and the largest pine and cypress among them is said to have been planted by Xu Zhenjun himself."
Lu Junbao basically listened to the driver's words in one ear and out the other. He didn't pay any attention at all. He just looked around to see what attracted him.
On the left side of the backyard, there is another statue of Xu Zhenjun, but this statue is completely different from the one in the main hall. This statue shows Xu Zhenjun in red robes, wielding a sword, and holding the sword secret. The image looks very majestic.
At the tip of Xu Zhenjun's sword and the direction where his eyes were pointing, Lu Junbao looked over and saw that it was an octagonal wellhead. Next to the wellhead stood an iron pillar as thick as a bowl, and a lock was locked at the bottom of the iron pillar.
The other end of the thick iron chain points straight into the octagonal well.[
When Lu Junbao saw this, he couldn't help being shocked!
No matter what the reason was, Lu Junbao knew from this moment that he was right to come here. This was the place that attracted him!
But he still didn't know what the reason was. Lu Junbao held his breath and walked carefully to the octagonal well. He looked into the well and used his clairvoyance ability, but he didn't see anything wrong. The well seemed very strange.
Deep, a spring water goes straight to the ground, deep and secluded.
What is the reason?
The driver and Yu Xinlei also came over. Seeing Lu Junbao's interest in this ancient well, they immediately smiled and said: "Little brother, this octagonal well also has its origins. It is not an ordinary well. We have two opinions here..."
The driver smiled while introducing the origin of this ancient well: "One theory is that Xu Zhenjun cast iron as pillars and hooked them to the well's veins to prevent water damage. Haha, this theory is more reliable!"
"oh……"
Lu Junbao nodded and asked: "Brother, is there any unreliable statement?"
The driver laughed "haha", then nodded and said: "Yes, there is another saying, it is a legend. It is said that in the early years, there was a dragon in Dongting Lake who had been practicing for thousands of years. He could call the wind and rain, and his power was boundless.
He made trouble, devoured people and animals, and harmed the people. Xu Zhenjun, who had great magical power, used magic to fight against this evil dragon. However, Xu Zhenjun could not capture the evil dragon because of its powerful magic. Later, with the help of Guanyin Bodhisattva, he turned into an old woman selling noodles.
When the dragon passed by a noodle stall, he took a bowl of noodles and ate it. After finishing the bowl of noodles, Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared and recited a mantra, and the bowl of noodles turned into an iron chain, locking the Nielong's body tightly.
My dear, Xu Zhenjun dug a deep well in the Western Mountains, and then cast iron needles to lock the evil dragon in the well. When the evil dragon was imprisoned, he asked Xu Zhenjun when he could let it out. Xu Zhenjun said, "The iron tree will bloom and I will send you back."
