Chapter 178 Ma Long Phoenix Tiger
It is said that Zhang Yixian is also a medical idiot. A prescription for treating liver poisoning given by Chen Long shocked Zhang Zhongjing. He couldn't help but kneel down in admiration. He was also shocked by Chen Long's grand medical idea, and finally agreed to move to Lingling to realize it. Driven by dreams.
Zhang Zhongjing immediately changed his name and called his lord, fearing that his lord would leave without caring about him. Seeing that the important matter was over, Chen Long did not delay. He ordered ten people to stay behind to help Zhang Zhongjing get medicine and move patients, and he took Zhuge Jin straight to Shuijingzhuang.
Shuijingzhuang has picturesque scenery and natural beauty, making it a natural Feng Shui treasure. It is located in the south of Nanzhang County, Xiangyang. It is not known whether it was named after Sima Huiya's nickname "Mr. Shuijing" or because Sima Huiya lived in Shuijing Village and was named Mr. Shuijing.
Chen Long led the people to walk in a meandering way, and saw in the distance the ancient thatched cottages, green hills, ethereal atmosphere, cliffs and waterfalls. It was really an infinite scenery, and it was indeed a very suitable place for seclusion. After all, Zhuge Jin was still a young man. He was relieved from the pain of taking care of his uncle's illness. When he came to this picturesque scenery, he thought about meeting his two younger brothers and shouted excitedly: "General Chen, there is the White Horse Cave!"
Chen Long was about to see this famous, dragon-like figure in history, and he was very excited in his heart. Just looking at the legend and story of "Mr. Shui Jing" Sima Hui in his mind was really admirable.
Sima Hui, courtesy name Decao, was born in Yangzhai, Yingchuan, and a fellow villager of Guojia. He originally lived in Donglin Temple, more than 20 miles southeast of Yangzhai City. In the last years of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the heroes were divided and the warlords were fighting. Sima Hui, who had the talent to run the country and help the world, did not want to use his talents to the advantage of the times. He kept silent and stayed in his hometown of Yangzhai, living hard in the fields. Sima Hui never discussed others. If someone asked him a question, he would not comment on his superiority. He would always say "good, good, good", so people called him "Mr. Good". His talent was never put into use, and it was lost forever in his life. Akira. According to the official history, in September of the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208 AD), Cao Cao's army arrived in Xinye and pointed directly at Jingzhou. Sima Hui was recruited by Cao Cao. Cao Cao has been admiring Mr. Shui Jing for a long time, but unfortunately Sima Hui fell ill and died.
Legend has it that Mr. Shui Jing had three disciples: senior brother Xu Shu, second senior brother Zhuge Liang, third junior brother Pang Tong, and fourth junior brother Sima Yi. According to legend, four brothers, Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Sima Yi, practiced immortality under Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui. Later, they asked Mr. Shui Jing, who among the four could become a Taoist. Mr. Shui Jing looked at the four of them for a long time and said, Xu Shu can succeed. Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Sima Yi were not convinced.
It is also said that Pang Degong held a cocktail party in Lumen Mountain. All his friends sang or chanted, each showed off their talents, and it was very lively. Sima Hui was full of wine and food, talking about the past and the present, and his words were free and unrestrained, which made the whole house fall silent and filled with respect. Pang Degong raised his cup and came forward and said: "Sir, the scriptures are as clear as flowing water, and the water is as clear as a mirror. He is really Mr. Shui Jing." Since then, the name "Shui Jing" has become famous in the Central Plains, and the secluded place Baima Cave is also known as "Shuijingzhuang".
It is described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that when Liu Bei was killed in Xiangyang, his horse jumped over Tanxi River and came to Shuijingzhuang. Sima Hui recommended to him that "if two people get one, they can settle the world." This led to "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage" and "Three Visits to Thatched Cottage". Stories such as "Longzhong Pair" are known as the source of triggering the Three Kingdoms.
The establishment of the Three Kingdoms made Sima Hui famous throughout the ages.
While enjoying the legend about Sima Hui, Chen Long walked along the Xiaoman River and entered the fairyland of Baima Cave. In Shuijingzhuang, there are mostly thatched cottages, but there are also some pavilion-style buildings with soaring eaves and majestic atmosphere. Halfway up Yuxi Mountain is like a gate to heaven. Climbing up the steps from the middle is like climbing a cloud ladder. You can see the famous three-mile stone wall corridor. From a distance, it looks like a knife and ax carving, which is extremely majestic. In front of the main entrance of Shuijingzhuang, there is a wooden wooden iron rope bridge spanning three rivers. Walking on it, you will feel extremely carefree and have a unique mood in your heart.
Baima Cave is backed by Yuxi Mountain and is adjacent to the Yi River with gurgling springs. There is a natural stone chamber on the mountainside cliff, which is the famous Baima Cave, with the four words "Cave Heaven and Blessed Land" engraved on it. The huge cave is deep and wide and can accommodate hundreds of people. It is said that it leads to Sichuan and a Sichuan white horse ran out of it, so it is named Baima Cave. A patch of thatched roofs looms in front of the White Horse Cave, where Sima Hui and his students Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong studied.
Inside Shuijing Manor, there are few people around and it is extremely quiet. Chen Long and others lingered in the beautiful scenery, strolling through the Stele Corridor and the Ancestral Hall, climbing Wenbi Peak, passing Jiangjun Pavilion and Juxian Pavilion, passing through Tiger Cave and Hidden Dragon Cave, and walking through Shenmi Valley and Peach Blossom Valley, with stone springs and waterfalls along the way. So beautiful.
Finally, we climbed halfway up Yuxi Mountain through a winding path, and the thatched cottage in front of the White Horse Cave was already in sight. After entering the bungalow, there is a small courtyard in the middle. Every three rooms are solemn and simple, occupying a large area, but still no one is seen. Chen Long was astonished. He used his spiritual ears to channel his internal energy, and suddenly heard the sound of reading loudly in the dark entrance of the White Horse Cave next to him.
It turns out that the Baima Cave is protected from wind and rain, warm in winter and cool in summer. There are stone tables, stone benches, and stone beds in the cave, where you can read, play the piano, and sleep soundly. It has become the daily territory of several talented young people. The entrance of the cave is narrow on the outside and widens on the inside, shaped like a big trumpet. At that time, Mr. Shui Jing often played the piano in the cave. The long and gentle sound of the piano echoed through the mountains, forests and rivers through the echo of the rock walls, which was very interesting. Chen Longyao recalled that in those days, Mr. Sima played the piano and chess here, recited poems and painted, drank wine in the wind, and looked like a free and easy hermit. This long and elegant meaning has influenced many Chinese literati. Deep in the hearts of Chinese officials, there is such a picture of life in the mountains and forests!
Chen Long greeted him loudly at the entrance of the cave. The bony Sima Hui, dressed in gray Confucian clothes, stood out at the entrance of the cave. Although his figure was thin, it made people look up at him. Deep in the cave entrance behind him, several young students, tall and short, suddenly appeared. They were lined up in a row according to their size, looking at the visitors curiously. Chen Long was moved in his heart. Could it be that these little ones are the Crouching Dragon Zhuge Kongming, Fengxiao Pang Shiyuan, and Tomb Tiger Sima Zhongda who are admired by all generations?
Chen Long's heart was surging, and he couldn't help but bow to the ground, and bowed deeply to the figures of Sima Hui and the four young men. Being able to see these four famous men, dragon, phoenix, tiger and horse, in this life, it would be worthwhile for him to travel through this life.
Looking closely at Sima Hui, one can only feel that the form and spirit are calm and graceful. Chen Long thought of the encounter between Liu Bei and Sima Hui. At that time, Liu Bei had great ambitions and Sima Hui lived in seclusion in a thatched cottage. One was a scholar from Lin Quan and the other was a hero in distress; one was a sincere recommendation and the other was an open-minded listener. If it weren't for that long conversation, how could Liu Bei get help from Wolong and Fengxiao, how could he get out of trouble and rise rapidly?
Sima Hui didn't seem to be surprised by Chen Long's arrival. He didn't ask where he came from, and just invited him casually. He walked through the corner gate of a small courtyard and led everyone into a cliffside path. There is a clear stream at the foot, and the sound of gurgling water adds a bit of tranquility to the ancient villa. There is a bridge over the stream. When walking on it, it feels like walking on gentle waves. Along the winding path behind the cave to the front of the thatched cottage, the sky and the earth stretch out. Suddenly, there is a cave. Looking around, you can see the blue water of Shuijing Lake in the distance, the sky, the same color, and the green misty mountain shadows, just like a fairyland. The distant Nanzhang City Wall is towering, the nearby pastoral scenery is unobstructed, and the wild river at the foot of the mountain stretches like a silver belt, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and their thoughts disappear.
Chen Long felt this in his heart. He looked back at Zhuge Jin and several famous little brothers, and asked the youngest one first: "Kid, are you Zhuge Jun?"
