Chapter 1 is a selection of long folk stories
In ancient times, there was a young man named Wang Tianliang who made a living by collecting firewood. One day when he went up the mountain to collect firewood, he suddenly saw a tiger walking up to him with its bloody tongue hanging out, shaking its head and tail as if asking for help. Tianliang asked: "Brother Tiger, if you are sick, please nod your head three times; if not, please raise your tail three times." After hearing this, Tiger nodded his head three times. Tian Liang looked at it and asked again: "Brother Tiger, if the disease is in your mouth, nod your head three more times; if the disease is not in your mouth, wag your tail three times." Tiger nodded his head three more times. Tianliang said strangely: "Brother Tiger, sit up and let me see." After hearing this, Tiger actually sat up.
At dawn, I looked carefully into the tiger's mouth. It turned out that a bone spur had penetrated into the tongue. There was a swollen lump on the tongue, the size of a walnut, bleeding with pus and blood. Tianliang gently put his hand into the tiger's mouth and pulled out the bone spur. Then he took out a vermilion porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out some ancestral homemade wound elixir, and applied it to the tiger's wound. After a while, the tiger's injury healed. The tiger was very grateful and said to Tianliang: "Let's become brothers!" Tianliang happily agreed. From then on, Tian Liang followed Brother Tiger's wishes and went to Nanshan Lake to collect firewood every day.
There are beautiful mountains and clear waters, luxuriant forests and flowers, and hundreds of birds singing in harmony, just like a fairyland.
One time, after collecting firewood at dawn, I was sitting on the bluestone to rest against the pine trees. I suddenly noticed an amazingly large bird egg not far in front of me. At dawn, when he saw it, he felt like he had found a treasure. He put the egg in his arms, picked up firewood and went home happily.
Tianliang cherishes this bird egg very much and wraps it thickly with cotton. At night, he puts it in the quilt and sticks it close to his side when he sleeps, hoping that one day a big bird will hatch.
Not long after, a sturdy little bird really broke out of its shell. Tianliang mother and son regard it as the apple of their eyes, feed it three times a day, raise it carefully and take care of it in every possible way.
As the days passed, the birds slowly sprouted golden feathers. "Ah!" Tianliang mother and son exclaimed in surprise, "it turns out to be a beautiful phoenix!"
The golden phoenix gradually grew up, but Tianliang mother and son lost weight day by day. Golden Phoenix suddenly spoke: "My mother and brother have lost weight because of me. Now my wings are strong, I will fly far away. I will repay your kindness in three years." After saying that, it burst into tears. , walked to the courtyard, flapped his wings and flew away in the sky.
The golden phoenix is ??perched on the purple bee on the white snow mountain beside the lake. Every year at dawn on the first day of May, hundreds of birds flock to the phoenix and sing in harmony, resounding through the sky. This grand event soon spreads to all directions.
When the son of Kaifeng Prefecture Yin heard about this, he came to Tianliang and offered to buy a golden phoenix for a thousand taels of silver. When Tianliang refused, the young master was furious. He pulled out his sword, pointed at Tianliang and threatened: "If you don't comply, I will stab you to death immediately!" Tianliang said categorically: "Don't even think about it!" The young master had no choice but to take Tianliang back to Kaifeng Mansion. On death row.
Three years later, Golden Phoenix transformed into a peerless beauty and came to Tianliang's home to explain her life experience and purpose to her mother. My mother was overjoyed and sighed. When she was not at home at dawn, Golden Phoenix worked hard day and night, serving her mother, being considerate and filial. One day, the tiger came to visit Tianliang. When he heard that Tianliang was imprisoned in Kaifeng Death Row, he immediately ran to the top of the mountain and roared three times to the east. Two hundred tigers came from the east mountain. After roaring three times to the west, Two hundred tigers came from the west mountain; roared three times to the north: two hundred tigers came from the north mountain; roared three times from the south, and two hundred tigers came from the south mountain. The Tiger King led these eight hundred tigers and galloped towards Kaifeng, making a roar that shook the heaven and the earth, and rolled up billows of dust and sand.
When the governor of Kaifeng heard that the tigers were coming, he was so frightened that he ordered the four gates to be closed tightly and the sergeants to go to the city to guard.
The Tiger King led 800 tigers to the city of Kaifeng. When he saw the four gates tightly closed, he became furious. With a command, the 800 tigers fell to the ground and let out a long roar. They jumped up and jumped onto the city wall, killing the guarding sergeant. One was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, his face expressionless. Strangely enough, none of the eight hundred tigers harmed the soldiers or the people. A gust of wind followed the Tiger King towards the Fuyin Hall. Suddenly, there were tigers inside and outside the lobby, above and below the rooms. When the governor saw it, his hands and feet were numb and he could not stand firmly. He knelt on the ground like sifting chaff.
The Tiger King came up to the court and scolded the governor: "Why do you harm Wang Tianliang when you commit evil? As a parent official, you do not benefit the people and eliminate harm, but harm one party. What use do you have?" ?" Fu Yin listened and knelt on the ground begging for mercy again and again. The Tiger King ordered him to kneel in front of the prison, kowtow to invite his benefactor Wang Tianliang, then sweep his tail, throw Fu Yin three feet away, and swallow Fu Yin's son into his belly.
The Tiger King asked Wang Tianliang to ride on the back of the tiger and lead the tigers back to the mountain. Wang Tianliang only heard a roar of wind, as fast as lightning, and he returned home without realizing it. When Golden Phoenix heard this, she hurriedly came out to greet him. King Tiger saw that they were a talented man and a beautiful woman, and they were extremely loving, so he acted as a matchmaker to make them a happy couple. From then on, Wang Tianliang's family of three lived a happy life.
Chapter 2 Selected Long Folk Stories
In ancient times, before the Pingping Village was opened, the Dong family lived on a hillside in a small village with only a dozen families. There was a young man named Buka in a small village who married a wife named Peiguan. The couple is very loving and almost inseparable. When the two of them came back from work, one carried firewood, the other carried grass, the other carried the hoe, and the other took care of the cows. They always followed each other. The crown was very beautiful. When the couple crossed the bridge, the fish in the river jumped out of the water to look at them with envy.
One morning, the river suddenly rose sharply. The Buka couple were in a hurry to go to Xishan to work, so they couldn't care less and walked together to the small wooden bridge in front of the village. Just as they walked to the center of the bridge, a strong wind suddenly blew, which made Buka unable to open his eyes. Peiguan fell into the river with an "oops". Buka opened his eyes and saw that his wife was gone. Knowing that she had been blown down the river, he jumped into the water and dived into the river. However, I searched back and forth several times but couldn't find it. When the villagers found out, they rushed to help him search. After searching for a long time, they still couldn't find Pei Guan. What is going on?
It turned out that there was a crab spirit deep in the river bend, and it swept Pei Guan into a cave at the bottom of the river. All of a sudden, the crab spirit turned into a beautiful young man and wanted Peiguan to be his wife. Peiguan refused and even slapped him. He immediately showed a fierce look and threatened Pei Guan. Pei Guan cried and cursed loudly, and the sound of crying and cursing spread from the bottom of the river to the ears of a flower dragon upstream.
At this time, it was windy and rainy, and the waves were rolling. I saw a flower dragon in the waves, raising its head and looking around. When the dragon's head looks to the left, the waves hit the left, and the landslide on the left. When the dragon's head looks to the right, the waves hit the right, and the right bank breaks. The small wooden bridge had long been swept away by the waves. Everyone was frightened. But when the dragon head came to the beach in Buka, the waves calmed down after the dragon head clicked a few times. Then, Hualong made a circle on the water and rushed to the bottom of the river. Suddenly, the sound of "GuluGuluGulu" continued to be heard from the bottom of the river, and large whirlpools were spinning one after another. Then, a black smoke emerged from the water, rose into the air and turned into a dark cloud. The flower dragon rushed into the air in hot pursuit, tumbling about, pushing the black cloud down until it finally revealed its original shape. It turned out to be the black crab as big as the top of the drum tower. The black crab fled in panic and climbed to a height of three feet on the cliff. The flower dragon went down into the water and turned somersaults. The dragon's tail swung and swept the crab into the water. After several rounds of this, the crab was exhausted and waddled towards the bamboo forest, hoping to use the bamboo to block the flower dragon. But the flower dragon jumped up and sprayed water from its mouth, causing the bamboo forest to fall down one by one, and the crabs fell into the river again. After the flower dragon followed closely to the bottom of the water, the waves rolled and went down the river. At this time, the black crab could no longer be seen. Later, not far from the river bend, a crab-shaped black stone was revealed, which is where Hualong calmed the crab spirit. This stone is called crab stone by later generations.
After the river surface calmed down, I heard a woman’s voice calling on the opposite river beach. Buka took a look and saw that it was his wife. Buka asked a few people to swim over immediately.
After landing, Peiguan said to Buka: "Thanks to Hualong for saving her!" Everyone then knew that Hualong saved her, and they were all grateful to Hualong. At this time, the flower dragon flew back upstream, nodding to people from time to time.
This incident quickly spread throughout Dong Township. Everyone transformed the small wooden bridge near the water into a large wooden bridge like an aerial promenade. They also carved patterns of flower dragons on the four central pillars of the bridge to wish that the flower dragon would always be there. After the completion of the large wooden bridge in the form of a promenade in the sky, a grand celebration ceremony was held, which was very lively. At this time, colorful clouds floated in the sky, shaped like a long dragon, and there were thousands of rays of light. When everyone took a closer look, it was the flower dragon coming back to visit everyone. Therefore, later generations called this bridge Huilong Bridge. Some places are also called Flower Bridge, and because the bridge can shelter from wind and rain, it is also called Wind and Rain Bridge.
Part Three Selected Long Folk Stories
During the Qingming Festival, the shores of the West Lake are red with flowers and willows, and the broken bridge is crowded with tourists. It is really a beautiful picture of bright spring. Suddenly, two girls like flowers and jade quietly rose up from the bottom of the West Lake. What happened? How can people rise out of the water? It turned out that they were two snake spirits who had cultivated themselves into human form. Even so, they did not With no intention of harming others, but because they were envious of the colorful life in the world, one of them took the pseudonym Bai Suzhen and the other took the pseudonym Xiaoqing and went to the West Lake to play.
God suddenly lost his temper, and it rained heavily in an instant. Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were soaked and had nowhere to hide. They were worried when they suddenly felt an umbrella above their heads. They turned around and saw, They saw a gentle, fair and delicate young scholar holding an umbrella to protect them from the rain. Bai Suzhen and the little scholar met each other's eyes, and both blushed in unison, feeling mutual admiration. Xiaoqing saw this and said hurriedly: "Thank you! May I ask your guest's surname?" The little scholar said: "My name is Xu Xian, and I live next to the broken bridge." Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing also hurriedly introduced themselves. . From then on, the three of them met frequently, and the relationship between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian became better and better. Soon after, they got married and opened a "Baohetang" pharmacy. They lived a wonderful life!
Since "Baohe Tang" has cured many difficult diseases and provided medicines to the poor for free, the pharmacy's business has become more and more prosperous, and more and more people from near and far come to Bai Suzhen for treatment. Many people affectionately call Bai Suzhen the White Snake. However, the prosperity of "Baohe Hall" and the happy life of Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi annoyed one person. Who? That is Monk Fahai of Jinshan Temple. Because people's diseases were cured by White Snake, fewer people came to Jinshan Temple to burn incense and pray to Bodhisattva. As the incense was not strong, Monk Fahai naturally became unhappy. On this day, he came to the "Baohe Hall" again and saw the White Snake treating people. He couldn't help but feel jealous. When he took a closer look, oh! It turned out that the White Snake was not a mortal, but a white snake. Of!
Although Fahai has a little bit of magic, his mind is not right. After seeing the identity of the White Snake, he wanted to break up Xu Xian, the White Snake and his wife, and bring down the "Baohe Hall" all day long. So, he secretly called Xu Xian to the temple and said to him: "Your wife is a snake spirit. Break up with her quickly, otherwise, she will eat you!" When Xu Xian heard this, he was very angry. He thought : My wife is kind-hearted and her affection for me is deeper than the sea. Even if she is a snake spirit, she will not harm me, not to mention she is pregnant now, how can I abandon her! Seeing that Xu Xian was not fooled by him, Fahai became angry and locked Xu Xian in the temple.
In "Baohe Hall", White Snake is anxiously waiting for Xu Xian to come back. One day, two days, waiting left and right, the white lady was very anxious. Finally, she found out that Xu Xian was "kept" by monk Fahai of Jinshan Temple. White Snake quickly took Xiaoqing to Jinshan Temple and begged Fahai to release Xu Xian. When Fahai saw Madam Bai, she sneered and said, "Bold snake, I advise you to leave the world as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" Seeing that Madam Bai refused to let go, Madame Bai had no choice but to pull off her head. The golden hairpin swayed in the wind, setting off a huge wave and heading towards Jinshan Temple. When Fahai saw the water flooding Jinshan Temple, he quickly took off his cassock and turned it into a long embankment, blocking the door of the temple. When the water rises by one foot, the long embankment becomes one foot high. When the water rises by one foot, the long embankment becomes one foot high. No matter how big the waves are, they cannot get over them.
Changsheng also entered the meeting ceremony with several Taoist brothers. Wang Chongyang is particularly happy today, because he followed Lu Zu's order and came to Kunyu Mountain to preach. Now the Quanzhen Sect has been established. Changsheng is the last disciple he should accept. Today, his long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. He held a fly whisk, looked up to the sky and laughed, and led four disciples to the west Qinyun. Liu Changsheng did not even say goodbye to his parents, and since then he has become a monk and practiced Taoism.
Liu Changsheng traveled to Zhongnan Mountain in the Western Qin Dynasty with his master Wang Chongyang. After his master returned to his throne, he and his three senior brothers guarded the tomb for three years. After three years, he returned from Western Qin to Lingxu Palace in Taiji Mountain in Laizhou to practice his true body.
In the second year after Changsheng returned to Lingxu Palace, when he was digging Yunxi Cave, the craftsmen dug several feet away and discovered an ancient well with a freezing cold air inside. Changsheng came after hearing the news, walked around the ancient well, and then said to the craftsman, you can continue digging without making a fuss. After digging a few more steps, there will be another two wells, which will be the place where I will practice my cultivation and return to simplicity. Sure enough, after digging a few steps, the second well actually appeared. Changsheng came to the second well. After the coldness in the well passed, he leaned down to look at the second well. There was no trace of water at the bottom of the well, but there was a golden cicada shining brightly on the boron at the bottom of each well. In a trance and flicker, Changsheng seemed to see the mother who gave birth to him. He was suspicious, afraid that his eyes were lying. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. At this time, there was nothing at the bottom of the well, and the golden cicada was gone. Changsheng realized that seeing his biological mother with the naked eye meant that he still had the body in the cage. Before Master passed away, he also confessed that I still have some mortal debts on my body, and I must practice ascetic practices before I can destroy the cloud, otherwise all my previous achievements will be wasted. So he immediately threw himself into the well and lived there, washing away the world and eradicating vulgarity, cultivating truth and returning to simplicity.
A few years later, on a crisp autumn day, an extra-large crane hovered over the Lingxu Palace in Taiji Mountain, with a person sitting on the crane's back. When all the Taoist disciples saw that their master Liu Changsheng was sitting on it, they all waved to him and shouted: Master, take us up for a swim!
The crane carried him into space and disappeared in an instant. What a relaxing getaway! What a dashing Liu Changsheng, Mingde!
Part 5: Selected Long Folk Stories
When Emperor Qianlong traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, he did not really visit the mountains and rivers. He was only afraid that the people in Jiangnan would rebel, so he came to Jiangnan to inquire about the news and check the truth in the name of sightseeing.
At that time, there was a monk named Slander at Jingci Temple in Nanping Mountain, Hangzhou. This monk does not pay attention to chanting sutras and meditating, but only likes to talk about world affairs. If you want to talk, you can talk, if you want to scold, you can scold, without any scruples. Just because his words are reasonable and his scoldings are interesting, people like to get close to him.
Emperor Qianlong arrived in Hangzhou and heard about such a monk. He frowned and thought: This old monk with such a strange name must be an old man from the Ming Dynasty who disappeared in the mountains. People who don’t keep their duty. I want to hear what he destroyed. So he put on a blue shirt, took a gold-painted folding fan, pretended to be a scholar, and went to Jingci Temple to slander the monks by name.
The slanderous monk came out of the temple. When Emperor Qianlong saw him, he asked: "Master, are you slandering the monk?"
The slanderous monk replied: "Yes, I am. Slandering the monk, it’s me who slandered the monk.”
Emperor Qianlong asked again: “Did Master become a monk as a child, or did he become a monk halfway?”
Slandering the monk said: “I. He became a monk on the way. Scholar, why are you asking me?" Emperor Qianlong was speechless. He glanced at the monk's tattered cassock and said: "I heard that Master is a virtuous monk, why are you wearing these rags like loofah tendons?"
The slanderous monk laughed and said: "When I was young, I also wore beautiful clothes! Later, my splendid clothes were torn to pieces by wild dogs, so I became a monk and wore this ragged hemp leather cassock! But although I was dressed in rags, my intentions were not as good as those in official uniforms. Magnificent and magnificent, secretly men steal and women prostitute."
Emperor Qianlong was beaten in the face, and he couldn't get out of his temper. He thought bitterly: This slander of the monk is indeed worthy of his reputation! He had to find some trouble so that he could be punished severely. He had evil plans in his belly, put on a fake smile on his face, and asked the slanderous monk to take him into the temple to play tricks.
They entered the gate of Jingci Temple and saw people next to them splitting moso bamboo to make incense baskets. Emperor Qianlong rolled his eyes, picked up a split moso bamboo piece, turned the green side towards the slanderous monk, and asked: "Master, what do you call this?"
Slandering the monk said : "This is called bamboo skin."
Emperor Qianlong turned the bamboo piece around, facing the white side to slander the monk, and asked: "Master, what is this called?"
He slandered the monk and said: "This, let's call it bamboo meat."
Emperor Qianlong frowned and smiled bitterly: "What a fresh name!"
The slanderous monk made a joke and said: "Old guest, the world has changed now, and the name must also change!"
Emperor Qianlong was frustrated and had to keep silent. It turns out that he was in Daxing at that time, looking for trouble to kill people. If you slander a monk by using the old names, calling the green side of the moso bamboo strips "篾青" and the white side "篾黄", the Emperor Qianlong will catch him by his pigtails and falsely accuse him of wanting to "destroy the Qing Dynasty" and "destroy the emperor" and kill him. his head. Emperor Qianlong used pieces of bamboo to slander the monk just because he wanted to cause trouble with him.
Emperor Qianlong entered the Main Hall to pay homage to Tathagata, and then went to the Arhat Hall to see the Buddha statues. Finally, they came to Xiangji Kitchen.
The Xiangji Kitchen is the kitchen in the temple. Emperor Qianlong looked around and saw a load of bean sprouts resting under the stove. By chance, a puppy came over at this moment, pulled up its hind legs and peed on the bean sprouts. Emperor Qianlong saw this and asked, "Master, are these bean sprouts clean?" He slandered the monk and said, "Bean sprouts are born in water and grow in water. Of course they are the cleanest things!"
Emperor Qianlong snorted and said: "How can you say it is clean when dog urine is poured on it?"
The slanderous monk laughed loudly: "As the saying goes, If you don't see it, it's true. If you don't see it, don't you think it's pure? Why should you take this trivial matter so seriously? For example, some people are cursed by the people all over the world day and night, but they are But he pretended not to hear, and shamelessly boasted that he was a saint!" After hearing these words, Emperor Qianlong was furious, but he was afraid of revealing his identity. I wanted to find another problem, but I couldn't think of a topic for a while. While he was in trouble, he suddenly heard a hawker outside the back door of the kitchen shouting: "Want tea eggs? Tea eggs!" He had an idea and said he was hungry, so he took the opportunity to buy tea eggs and walked out of the back door dejectedly. slipped away.
