Chapter 5 The Fifth Cowherding Boys Gather in Groups to Worship the Elder Yun Tan as Their Teacher

But it is said that Elder Tanyun rented a house to settle down with Zhu Gong and his wife, and borrowed some money to do business with him.It was more than one day, but it was September, neither warm nor cold, the weather was clear and sunny, and the weather was really nice.The elder said in his heart: "When I entered the samadhi on the 24th night of the twelfth lunar month last year, I clearly heard that Allah was born in the ninth month. Jialan in the previous month clearly ordered the good life to rescue the emperor. I haven't visited Zhugong's place for a while, so I don't know if he was born; whether it is a boy or a girl , I’ll go out of the inner mountain gate and walk around.” When he was about to reach the Garan Hall, he suddenly saw a person approaching, the elder looked at him, and he had a pair of blue eyes and two sculpted eyebrows.The pair of blue eyes are bright and piercing, reaching up to the sky; the two eyebrows are slender and fluttering, and they go down to the bottom of the navel.The cheekbones are sharp and sharp, which is really a smoky hue; Fengshen Yeye, who came to the earth by chance.Walking like the wind sends the remaining clouds, standing like Mount Tai does not move.But the man said to the elder: "I have pills, I can take them to Mr. Zhu's house, who rented a house the day before yesterday, for use during delivery." The elder knew that he was an immortal, so he took his hand and said, "I know." There was a gust of wind, and the man disappeared.The elder actually sent the pills to Zhu Gong and said, "Sooner or later, my mother-in-law will give birth." Zhu Gong took the medicine and said, "It's hard to get this, so I will stay in a vegetarian diet!"The elders are at the door.Not long after, I only heard a group of people, always and small, saying that the sun in the sky was more radiant than before.The elder and everyone looked up, but they heard that the eight sounds in the sky vibrated together, and the birds were flying around. Among the five-color clouds, there seemed to be a dozen colorful girls of Tian'e, holding a baby with a white light, flying down from the southeast from the sky. Mr. Zhu comes to his house.Everyone was about to enter, when they saw two yellow dragons circled around the head of Zhu Gong's gate, the fire was raging inside, and the smoke and dust were billowing in disorder.None of the people looked up and opened their eyes, and everyone clamored.The elder also panicked.But Mr. Zhu came out and said: "Master Meng sent the medicine, and my mother-in-law went to swallow it. She didn't feel the strange fragrance all over her body. Fortunately, she gave birth to a child. It is very glorious, and the whole room feels fragrant." The elder said: "It's Weipai at this time. This life is extremely precious. You must send your name to the Buddha." Zhu Gong promised.The elder went back to the temple, no question.

But it is said that Zhu Gong went to the river to fetch water to bathe, and suddenly saw Hong Luofu coming, so he took clothes and put them on for the children; so the place where he lived was called Hong Luogang, and the historical sites still exist today, so I don’t want to mention it. Let's say that the child born is Taizu.Within three days, he couldn't stop crying, and the whole family was uneasy.Zhu Gong had no choice but to go to the Jialan Hall in the temple and pray for God's blessing.The elder said to Mr. Zhu: "This matter is not something to be taken lightly. Forgive me that it is not cured by medicine bait. You can hurry back and settle down." The elder was sending Mr. Zhu out when he saw a Taoist passing by on the road with an iron crown on his head, and shouted: "You have strange diseases, no matter how big or small, they can be cured." The elder asked Zhu Gong, "There is a child who has only been crying for three days. Can you cure it?" The Taoist said, "I already know that he is crying. , so I came to see him from afar; if I see him pampering you, he won’t cry.” When Zhu Gong heard about it, he resigned as an elder, and when his fellow Taoists arrived home, they brought out their newborn children to meet the Taoist.The Taoist shook his hand and said in his mouth: "Don't call me, why didn't you laugh at the beginning, the road ahead is not far away, the sun and the moon go hand in hand, then I will give you a laugh at that time." He said goodbye and went out.Mr. Zhu went in with the child in his arms, and was about to come out to entertain the Taoist, but he looked around and couldn't find it.After that, the children of Zhu's family never cried again, which is really strange.Two days a day, three days a day, already Man Yueer, Bailuer and Nazhouer.Zhu Gong sent the child to the Buddha in Huangjue Temple to repent, and bless the child to grow up and grow up easily.Because of taking a Buddha name, it is called Zhu Yuanlong, and the word is Tingrui.At the age of four and five, he often went to the temple to play.I didn't realize I was eleven years old.At the home of Mrs. Zhu and his wife, they were suffering from hunger, so they hired all three eldest sons as domestic helpers. Only the youngest son, Yuanlong, was at home.One day, Mrs. Wang, a neighbor, came to Zhu Gong and said, "Why don't you hire Yuanlong to Liu Taixiu's family to herd cattle? It's better than starving at home."Taizu said: "I am willing to herd cattle with others!" His parents persuaded him repeatedly before he would.The mother sent her to the Liu family with Wang Po.

Let's say that Taizu was in Liu's house, and he got to know him day by day. He played with all the children every day and piled up the soil into a high platform.There were two or three older ones who wanted to play games with the emperor. They sat on it, and the Taizu bowed down, only to see the older ones with bruised heads and swollen faces. " Taizu and all the children bowed again. This child threw himself on the ground and fell even harder. Everyone was too frightened to go on stage.Taizu said: "Wait for me to go up." All the children came up to worship, but Taizu sat still.The children had to obey his orders and play every day.No problem.

One day, when Huangjue Temple was being used as a dojo, Taizu tore down some paper flags to make flags, and asked all the children to stand with five squares in their hands, and divided the cattle into five pairs. All the children walk around with flags and banners, which is not always messy.Suddenly one day, Taizu had a plan. He killed a calf, washed and stripped it with all the children, put a pan on the hillside, found some firewood, simmered it, and ate it with the children.First cut off the ox's tail and stick it in the crevice of the rock. I'm afraid Liu Taixiu will look for the ox and just say that the ox has gone into the crevice of the rock.Returning home at night, Liu Taixiu found that one of the cows was missing.just ask.Taizu replied: "Because a calf went into the rock, so one is missing." Taixiu didn't believe it, so she said, "Let's go and see with you." When they came to the stone, Taizu silently wished "Mountain god, land, come and protect!" Seeing an ox's tail moving wildly, Taixiu pulled his hand, and heard the sound of a ox braying, so Taixiu could only believe it.Later, he killed one without telling Taixiu, just like before.Taixiu came to visit again, feeling very strange, suddenly heard that Taizu had a smell of mutton, and secretly handcuffed all the children, only to know that Taizu killed the cow and ate it.Taixiu had no choice but to send Taizu home.

Time flies like an arrow, and I don't realize that it is June from Emperor Yuanshun to Zhengjiashen.Taizu was seventeen years old.Unexpectedly, natural disasters are prevalent, diseases are rampant, and within a month, Zhu Gong, his wife and their eldest son Zhu Zhen all passed away unfortunately.The family was poor and couldn't prepare a neat coffin, so I had to make it hastily and carried it to Jiulong Gang with my two elder brothers.Just as the earth was being dug for burial, suddenly, a big storm came up, rocks flew into the mine, thunder and lightning, and rain poured down.Taizu and those two elder brothers opened their eyes but couldn't close them; closed their eyes but couldn't open them.But I heard the air say: "The Jade Emperor announced the decree last night, calling the city god of this mansion, and the local land to order our four dragon gods to bury Emperor Zhu's parents in the dragon's cave and seal them with three feet of earth. We must complete the work immediately, and we must not violate it." decree." The three Taizu brothers had no choice but to hide from the rain in the forest.Not a moment later, the sun rose at dawn, and the three of them walked out of the forest to the place where the coffin had been placed. They all disappeared, but they saw a huge tomb covered with earth and rocks.The three went home crying.The eldest sister-in-law Meng and her nephew Zhu Wenzheng still live in Changhong County.The second brother and the third brother also gave birth to each other.Taizu was alone and helpless.Neighbor Wang Po said to Taizu: "Nowadays rice is expensive and there is no place to live. Your parents have sent you to worship in the temple. Why don't you become a monk?" Taizu heard, and agreed: "Yes, yes. "Naturally, I entrusted myself to the Huangjue Temple.Unexpectedly, Elder Tanyun passed away overnight in less than two months.All the monks in the temple said: "Just because Zhu Yuanlong, the elder loves and respects him the most, so he is very rude." One day, the gate of the mountain was closed, and Taizu was not allowed to go in and sleep.Taizu looked up to the sky and sighed, only to see the Milky Way glowing and the jade dew clear, so he chanted: The sky is a tent and the ground is a felt, and the sun, moon and stars accompany me to sleep.

I dare not stretch my feet long at night, for fear of stepping on mountains and rivers.After singing, Jialan was alarmed.Jialan changed his mind: "This is also the Jade Emperor's golden boy, and he should be in such a difficult situation right now. The former cried a lot when he was born, and the Jade Emperor asked me to summon Taoist Tieguan to comfort him; but now that he has been tortured like this, if his thoughts are not firm , Sheng Gong chirped a little, it’s because we didn’t protect well. Why don’t you ask the Oneiroi to impress his sleepman, and entrust him with a dream to calm his ambition.” At this time, Taizu felt sleepy and sat on the ground with his clothes on. sleep.In the eyes, I can only see a group of birds vying for flight in the northwest sky. Suddenly, a crane comes from the southeast to peck the birds away, and the crane disappears in Qingjian.I saw a vermilion high platform in the northwest corner, and on the surrounding railings, there are two King Kong-like standing, chanting words in their mouths.Then there are two rows with scarves and foreheads. The three gods in the middle are like the Gods of the Three Purities, with long beards, looking at Taizu.However, a few Taoist priests in purple clothes sent them a crimson robe, which the Taizu wore, and saw that the clouds were colorful.The man in purple said: "This is the clothes of a real person in Wenli." Another Taoist beside him knelt down and sent his sword to the future, saying in his mouth: "What a difference, what a difference!"When Taizu woke up, it was Nan Ke Yimeng.It's strange to think about it.

When I got up early the next day, the new elders of the family told me: "It's about 30 miles away from Mahu Lake. There are wild trees by the lake, and they can be picked by anyone. You can send firewood in different rounds for the temple. Violation: Expelled from the mountain gate to eat elsewhere." It was Taizu's turn, it was heavy wind and heavy rain, and they didn't take care of each other, but they were late on the way, and when they reached the lake, they saw firefly lights in the wild forest, and there was no one around. The sound is only the rhyme of insects and grasses.Taizu had no choice but to go down to the lake to chop, but he didn't know how deep the silt was and how shallow it was, so he fell into the big swamp and would drown himself. Suddenly, someone said in the lake: "The emperor is trapped, we Hurry up and protect me, so that you will be freed from crimes." Taizu saw many people with unkempt red hair, round eyes, fangs, and green faces approaching him and said, "Wait for the little ghosts to help you ashore." Chai on the shore, we ghosts also He chopped it for the emperor and sent the firewood to the temple.Taizu jumped up, but he was no longer in Zezhong, nor Mahu, but the head of the mountain gate of Huangjue Temple.Taizu brought a load of firewood into the incense kitchen. The drum in the front hall had already been beaten three times, but all the monks were already fast asleep.I don't know how the parents and elders complain, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
