Wedge 4 The edge of the path on the mysterious and secluded
The Juyu tribe is one of the Dou tribes.
The Duowu tribe has been entrenched in the Xilan Prairie for more than a thousand years. If you ride a horse and ride north from the 78 villages in the north and south of Juyubu, you will be able to get out of the northern boundary of the Xilan Prairie in about a year.
, bordering the prosperous Jin Dynasty. The Jin Dynasty regarded itself as the center of the world and considered the Xilan Prairie to be the south of the world, so it also called the Xilan Prairie "Nan Yuan", and the Duowu tribes called it "Nan Yuan".
"Hundreds of Southern Tribes".
Although the name is "Hundred Tribes", there are actually more than tens of thousands of tribes in the Duowu Tribe. And this "Giant Tribe" is located on the southern edge of the Xilan Prairie, which can be said to be the southernmost of the Southern Tribes.
The foothills where the Juyu tribe inhabits is a long and narrow mountain range running east to west, called Mount Xun. The north and south ridges are only more than ten miles long, and the highest point is only two to three hundred feet long; but the length from east to west is thousands of miles, and it is far away
It exceeds the scope of activities of the Juyu tribe and even the entire Duowu clan.
And over the Xunshan Mountains, there is the end of the land, with blue waves and white waves, boundless, called Xuanyuan Sea. During the day, Mu Jian, the leader of the Nanzhai clan, took his daughter Mu Minli and a group of athletes to go fishing here.
Department. Every six months, more manpower must be organized to collect water and dry salt.
The Juyu tribe relies on fish and salt in the south and hunts in the grassland in the north. However, it does not need to rely on horses and felts like other Duowu tribes, wandering and living in pursuit of water and grass. The village is built in the shadow of Xun Mountain, with the mountain at its back to block the sea breeze, and facing the ten
Yulikuan is surrounded by mountains and stretches of dense forest, which protects it from the invasion of grassland wind and sand. The terrain is unique. The ethnic group has thrived here for nearly a thousand years.
Thirteen hundred years ago, a talented and strategist named Emperor Wu of Jin appeared in the Jin Dynasty. He rode his horse and whip for forty years, ending the Jin Dynasty's four hundred years of royal decline and fragmentation, and re-established the Jin Dynasty.
He established a powerful and unified Jin Dynasty. After that, he defeated more than 60 small countries to the north and west, and defeated the Shayu tribe who was the overlord of the Xilan Prairie at that time to the south.
When Long Zhongqing, Emperor Wu's brother-in-law and the number one general in the Jin Dynasty, led the elite vanguard to break through King Shayu's golden tent, galloping up Xun Mountain and looking at the South China Sea, pushing the resurgence of the Jin Dynasty to its peak of glory, Emperor Wu of Jin was already a
A seventy-year-old man.
The discovery of the southern boundary of the earth excited Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty. After all, although there are many records of the "South China Sea" in the ancient books of the Jin Dynasty, the south that the Jin Dynasty has known for generations only knows that there is the Tiannan Plain, not the Tiannan Sea.
.Perhaps some people have long speculated that the sea is at the southern end of Xilan Grassland, but this speculation has not been confirmed.
And this vast ocean, known by the indigenous people as the "Xuanyuan Sea", can run east and west along the coastline for several months with no end in sight. It is obviously the South China Sea in ancient books.
So Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty ordered Long Zhongqing to collect stones from Xun Mountain and erect a stele, nine feet high and four feet wide, with sixteen characters engraved on it:
"Demai is ancient, his deeds have established the world, and he is inscribed in the South China Sea to show his supremacy."
The monument still exists today, seven hundred miles east of the Juyu tribe's camp.
In fact, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty was interested in driving the Xuanyuan Sea for more than just geographical discoveries. The fairy mountain in the South China Sea has been a legend that has been passed down through the Jin Dynasty for thousands of years. Shortly after the monument was recorded, the desire for immortality and the search for immortals prompted the Jin Dynasty to
Emperor Wu mobilized the people of the country and spent twelve years building dozens of "Tianbao sea boats" with a length of 300 feet and a width of 100 feet. He also appointed his trusted eunuch Su Ludan as the envoy to visit immortals, and traveled south to search for immortal mountains.
.
Setting sail to the south, there were so many hardships and twists and turns that outsiders cannot understand; time flies, and it is already thirty-six years before we return.
Of the 30,000 sailors who set out that year, only 574 returned. More than 90% of the crew, including the visiting envoy Su Ludan and the two deputy envoys, contracted the disease and died during the voyage.
Three to four hundred deserted islands and reefs with a radius of seven to eight miles, ranging from 40 to 50 feet in diameter, were found. Each one was traced and made into a genealogy. But where were the fairy caves and elixirs?
The person responsible for reporting back to the emperor was Xin Baohong, the former captain of Ship A, who took over the command of the fleet according to the order. According to him, the fleet strictly abided by the order when it set off, and vowed not to return until it found the fairy mountain. The fleet was guided by the compass starlight
Direction, all the way south, unswervingly, but for some reason thirty-six years later, I returned to the place where I set out to sea.
Although Xin Baohong and others reported the truth, they also knew how absurd this statement was in the eyes of ordinary people. They were also anxious in their hearts, fearing that they would not be able to protect their leader. Unexpectedly, the emperor did not wait for his hard work to be in vain, and his words were perverse.
Add guilt.
Because the second year after the fleet set off, the illustrious Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty passed away. The current emperor, Emperor Wen of Jin Dynasty, has always been lenient and was the ninth and youngest son of Emperor Wu. At this time, he had been on the throne for more than thirty years.
Sixtieth year.
After all, it was difficult for the Jin Dynasty to maintain its long-term rule over the Xilan Prairie. As the Shayu tribe declined from prosperity and fell into pieces, one or two hundred years later, the Duowu tribe, which rose to the east of the Xilan Prairie, became a new tribe on the grassland.
Owner.
The Juyu tribe has never discovered that walking hundreds of miles east of Xun Mountain, there is a mottled nine-foot-long ancient monument standing quietly.
In fact, these Juyu tribe members, even the entire Duowu tribe, and ordinary people of the Jin Dynasty, do not know that although true immortals are difficult to find, where are the lack of spiritual practitioners in the world?
Although most of these masters travel above the clouds, hide in famous mountains, and keep a distance from ordinary people, there are still some monks wandering in the world of mortals. It is a pity that ordinary people are ignorant and do not know each other after all.
There was an expert who had cultivated to the realm of Yuanying and flew over here in a flying light. When he saw the sixteen words on the Jinwu stele, he laughed three times.
The Jin Dynasty believed that it was the center of this realm. Although it was a frog in the well, it was not too far-fetched to make mistakes.
But if you think that the Xuanyuan Sea is the extreme south of the world and name it "South China Sea", it is a joke. How can you know how vast the world is when you are floating around in life and death?
The first-class cultivation sect that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years must have the magical artifact "Four Continents and Six Seas Landscape Painting Scroll" in its possession.
Unfold this scroll, ten feet high, and you can clearly see four continents standing in a tripod and six distinct waters. Qingyangzhou is located in the middle of the earth; Zhumingzhou, Baizangzhou, and Xuanyingzhou are three tripods, surrounding Qingyangzhou. Between the three continents is the ocean.
Due to the different water properties, the three oceans are divided into six seas, which are called Wanghai, Yunhai, Xinghai, Xianhai, Zhaohai and Luhai.
Focusing on the center of Qingyang Continent, there is a Tucheng sign the size of a fingernail, which seems to be annotated as a country of ordinary people; to the south of this country is a blue color the size of a copper coin, which seems to be a grassland; and next to it, there is a fist.
Large and small dark green, the name of the place - Xuanyuan Ze is specially marked on this Dharma map. This piece of green is located in the center of Qingyang Continent.
Xuanyuan Sea, whose real name is Xuanyuan Ze, is actually a piece of internal water, located in Qingyang Continent, and is also the center of the entire four continents and six seas!
At this time, the moon and stars were sparse and the breeze was rustling.
In the camp of the Juyu Clan, Mu Minli was wearing a light green singlet, bending her body and lying on the bamboo bed. Her eyes were closed tightly, her breathing was even, and a smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth. It seemed that a good dream had come, and she was playing happily.
Not far away from the side of the bamboo bed, there is a stone urn. In the urn is a two-inch-long golden fish, which is moving its head and tail, rolling up and down, and is extremely agile.
Suddenly, this fish jumped out of the water and landed on Mu Minli. However, it did not wake up the dreamer at all. Instead, it turned into a light white light, wrapped her petite body, and then flew into the air.
Leaping out of the camp gate, in the blink of an eye, he had already leapt over the villages of the Juyu Clan, over Mount Xun, arrived at the sky above Xuan Youze, and galloped away.
At this time, Mu Minli still maintained a lying posture, as if he did not feel the cold air and the biting sea breeze at all, and was still falling into a sweet and sound sleep. But after this dream, when he met Ju Yubu's old friend again, he was already
Hundreds of years.
In the Xuanyuan swamp, water birds roost. The blue heron flaps its wings, but it is no more than a hundred feet high; the goshawk soars, no more than a thousand feet. But this faint white light wrapped in the wooden glass actually breaks through the sky and penetrates the heavy clouds.
It doesn't slow down at all.
After penetrating the seventeenth level of the sky, you can vaguely see the huge mountains with dense green color, which block out the sun and moon, floating in the blue sky, green and ever-changing. These giant peaks are extremely majestic.
Looking at a corner, it is hard to see how high it is. Surrounded by auspicious clouds above and below, thousands of auspicious auras, gleaming and glazed, are ever-changing. There are even scattered flying islands floating in the sky, like stars accompanying the moon, surrounding the side of the huge mountain.
When you go from bottom to top, through the last layer of clouds and mist to the highest point, your vision changes again. Looking down at the scenery, you can see the rolling smoke and clouds, the dancing silk ribbons, and the uncertainty; the peaks are blooming, only one is exposed
Looking at it from the top, it is like a curling kettle in the Yao world, making people feel like they are in a dream, and they can't believe that there is such a beautiful scene in the sky.
Most of the mountains, peaks, islands, and islets are covered with green flowers and white mist, making it difficult to tell whether they are true or false. Only at the top of the peak, you can see the continuous stretches of golden palaces and jade palaces, the endless gatherings of clear springs and pools, and the dots of pavilions and pavilions, all of which are magnificent and majestic.
, gorgeous and exquisite, and ingenious. There are also birds perching on the eaves, fish swimming in the flat lake, golden light and fire hitting the bullfighting, cranes and spiritual birds playing in circles. Needless to say, the overflowing fairy spirit, the spiritual flower is shining, the mist is flowing, and the fairy is
The success of a family is the ultimate success.
Surrounded by mountains, there is a peak in the center, tall and majestic, with other peaks crouching down. The nearest peak is probably thousands of miles away. On the top of the mountain stands an extremely majestic palace, far superior to its peers.
This palace is completely black in color, as if it were made of pig iron. It is not as bright and shining as other palaces, but the grandeur, solemnity, and aura of the deep sea that come out of it are far inferior to those of other palaces and pavilions.
Thousands of feet in front of the palace, a majestic gate stands. There are two lines of ancient gilded characters on the left and right of the gate, shining with a soft and mysterious light:
Extensive and affectionate, acting on three thousand avenues;
Be clear about your own nature and uphold the non-dual method.
Right above the gate, there is a piece of jade in the shape of a lotus petal hanging. It looks like a plaque but not a plaque, like a stele but not a stele. It seems to be floating in the air. It is engraved with the two characters "grey mist" and "wusensen", which seems to convey an ancient meaning.
