Then, the little ant said again: "They are all my disciples, so why are they not sad?" Mr. Huanlong said comfortingly: "The insects cannot be resurrected, so please express my condolences." Mr. Huanlong stretched out his hand, and the little ant crawled Standing on his fingertips, Huanlong said: "Pindao, let's take you out for a walk." Then he put the little ant in the sloping collar, walked out of the Taoist temple, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Shenlong, come out quickly. "Suddenly dark clouds rolled and pressed down in the sky. Among the rolling dark clouds, a dragon flew out. This is the legendary dragon, and it turns out it's true. The dragon glided down from the clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder. Walking down in the thick fog, it is looming in the thick fog, shrouded in more mystery. When it fell, its four claws stood on the ground, curved like a long snake, its head raised high, and the sound of the dragon's roar spread to the valley. Huan Long climbed up the dragon's back and grasped its two forked corners with both hands. The little ant crawled out from his slanted collar and said: "This is the legendary dragon, it looks a bit like the Dragon King in the sea." Mr. Huanlong stretched out his hand, and the little ant crawled onto his palm. Shi asked, "Have you seen the Sea Dragon King." Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Yi has seen the Sea Dragon King." Huan Long said, "The dragons in the sea are dragons, and they have no horns on their heads. "The little ant disagreed and said: "The Dragon King has horns, but there is a pair of horns on the top of the Dragon King's head, which is a little different from this dragon." Huanlong said: "Pindao knows, we It’s time to take off.”
The little ants climbed into his slanted collar, and the dragon soared into the sky, rolled in the clouds and mist, and swooped down again, crossing famous mountains and rivers. When the little ant climbs out of the slanted collar, it can have a panoramic view of the famous mountains and rivers on the land of China. It can also soar into the sky and look down at the earth amid the clouds and mist. Little Yi asked in surprise: "What are those?" Huanlong said: "Those are the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, the roots of our Chinese clan." Little Yi said: "The Yangtze River and the Yellow River are like two giant dragons circling, little Ant also knows that the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are where the dragon veins of our Chinese tribe are located." Huanlong denied: "No, not only the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, we also have a dragon vein, three dragon veins." The little ant was a little confused, Asked: "Sir, where is the other dragon vein?" Huanlong looked down and said, "Look, what is that?" Xiao Yi looked down together and said, "That is also a dragon vein." Mr. Huanlong stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "That is the Pearl River, leading to the Kingdom of Baiyue." This is where the three dragon veins of our Chinese people are located. The Yangtze River and the Yellow River lead to the East China Sea, and the Pearl River leads to the South China Sea, so it is said This is why we Chinese are descendants of the dragon.
Mr. Huanlong asked again: "Little Ant! Should we go to the source of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River?" Xiaoyi asked: "Sir, are you talking about the source of the two dragon veins?" Mr. Huanlong said: " Exactly." Xiao Yi agreed and said, "Okay, let's go take a look together and understand the origin of our Chinese clan." Si Zhu glided backwards and jumped above the clouds. The sun rose slowly, emerging from the clouds and mist with a brilliant red light. The little ant looked at the place where the sun rose and asked: "Where is the sun rising?" Huanlong said: "That is the east, we are flying west." The little ant nodded and said: "Qi State In the east, facing the East China Sea, the State of Qin is in the west, the land of the western frontier." Huanlong said: "We have left the land of Qin, and below are the lands of the Qiang and Yuezhi. You are right. The State of Qi is in the east. , there is a fairy mountain in the east of Qi State, which is the place where immortals live. It is called Penglai. King Wei and King Xuan of Qi State and King Zhao of Yan State sent people to the East China Sea to search for the three sacred mountains of Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou. They are still in Yao today. No news." Little Yi asked questioningly: "Are there really immortals living on Penglai Immortal Island?" Huanlong sighed: "Maybe my Taoism is not enough. I have visited the Immortal Mountain several times to seek immortality. I asked, but to no avail. I once heard an immortal master say that if you want to enter the fairy mountain and find the gods, you need to pass three levels. The first level is the mirage. The mirage has no eyes. It likes to imagine the appearance of the fairy world. When it is a mirage, When they can't bear to dream about the fairyland, they will spit out smoke from their mouths, making the seekers lose their way. Maybe the people sent by King Wei, King Xuan and King Yan Zhao are like this. This thick smoke is like a wave above the sea. The fairyland, like pavilions and pavilions, is looming in the smoke. There are also overseas sharks, who were originally fishermen living on the island. They were affected by the mirage and turned into half-human and half-fish monsters; the second level It is Kunpeng. When the road to Penglai Immortal Island is opened, Kunpeng will open its mouth to eat, forming a huge sea whirlpool. No ship can pass safely through the whirlpool; the third level is the sea loach, which has a long body. Seven meters long, the sea loach feeds on dragons and whales. With its sharp mouth, it will suck out a big hole even in a copper wall. This may be the reason why I have no chance of becoming a god." Little Yi understood after hearing this and said: " Sir, when I was traveling from Nandanbuzhou to Qi State, I passed by the island you mentioned, but I just missed it." Tuanlong said, "Okay, we will land on this fairy island."
The dragon is gliding in the clouds and mist, and there are long mountains below. The mountains are majestic and steep, and there is snow all year round on the peaks. The little ant stuck out his head and asked: "Sir, what kind of mountain is that?" Huanlong said: "That is the Kunlun Mountains, the source of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River." The little ant was surprised: "That is the source of the two dragon veins. ." Huan Long said: "Yes, that's the source. It's already getting late, so we'll stay one night on top of Kunlun Mountain and set off again tomorrow." Xiao Yi readily agreed and said, "Okay." The dragon came out. He leaped up from the clouds, swooped down again, and landed on the top of the snow-covered sacred mountain. The Dragon Master walked down from the dragon's back, put down the little ant, and stood on the top of the snow mountain. The dragon soared again, leaping over the nine heavens and hiding among the clouds.
According to legend, in the northwest is the earthly capital of the Emperor of Heaven. Kunlun Mountain has a radius of 800 miles and a height of seven to eight thousand feet. There are wooden stalks growing on it, which are four feet high and thick enough for five people to hug each other. There are nine wells on each side of the mountain, each with jade railings. There is a pill path on each side, and the pill path is guarded by enlightened beasts. This enlightened beast is half human and half beast, with nine heads, all with human faces and animal bodies, and is the seat of half man and half god. There are many palaces on Kunlun Mountain, which are rich and spectacular, such as Langfengding, Tianyong City, Biyu Hall, Qionghua Palace, Zicuidanfang, Xuanpu Palace, Kunlun Palace, etc.
Madam Huanlong walked into the Kunlun Palace and sat down cross-legged. The little ant crawled out from his sleeves, stood in front of Mr. Huanlong, kowtowed and said, "Sir." Mr. Huanlong opened his eyes and said, "Xiaoyi. Please sit down." Little ant Sitting in front of Huanlong. Mr. Huanlong told Xiao Yi some legends about Kunlun Mountain, and said: "The immortal master told me about this mysterious place - Kunlun Mountain. The Queen Mother of the West attained enlightenment and became an immortal here, as well as the Great God Pangu and Nuwa, the Mother of the Earth. Wait, it has been more than fifty years since King Mu of the Zhou Dynasty succeeded to the throne, and he died after reigning for fifty-five years. The Queen Mother of the West once invited King Mu to a banquet in Yaochi."
In the sea of stars, stars fell, drawing a beautiful arc in the distant sky. Drifting on the vast sea in a small boat, we arrived at Penglai Island after being tossed by wind and waves. The boat docked, and Little Yi walked out of the cabin and met a half-human, half-fish shark. The shark raised his eyes and asked, "What are you doing here?" Little Yi kowtowed and said, "Down here is the Nandan tribe. The little ants in the continent only come here to seek immortality." But the shark said happily: "Looking at you as a little ant, you do know some human etiquette. Seeing that you are so polite, okay? , I will take you there." Xiao Yi and the shark got on a big boat, and sailed away under the leadership of the shark. Above the sea, there is smoke. A fantastic scene appears on the edge of the sea. There are strange peaks rising slowly from the sea, towering into the clouds. There are pavilions and pavilions on the strange peaks, and each strange peak is connected by a covered bridge. There are many peaks flying in the air. Could this be the legendary Feilai Peak? The little ant stood on the plywood, looked at it and said in surprise: "That's the fairyland, right?" Behind it came the strange laughter of the shark, and suddenly the sky was filled with dark clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and huge waves rolled over. Hit down. This shark man was very insidious. He would often hide behind Xiao Yi and say, "Get down here." He pushed Xiao Yi down with a strong push, and then showed a ferocious smile, which was intimidating. The little ant struggled desperately in the rolling sea water, but was still sucked into the huge whirlpool by the sea water. In the confusion, he could hear the faint sound of the whale falling and the harsh roar of the dragon. This sound could irritate Pierce your eardrums.
The little ant then opened his eyes. The vortex was like a huge black hole, shrouded in invisible darkness. The little ant also doesn’t know where he is? It was like time travel, and suddenly I found myself standing on a high mountain, filled with mist or rolling clouds. The sun rises above the clouds, and there are big rocs spreading their wings in the sky. Could it be that this is the fairyland? At this time, a voice like a bell came, saying: "Little ant, you are here." The little ant raised its head and looked up. Sitting next to it was Confucius of Lu. The little ant kowtowed and said, "Master." Confucius faced Lao Dan who was sitting on the rock and introduced, "This is Mr. Lao Dan." The little ant turned around, kowtowed and said, "Mr. Lao Dan." Lao Dan The gentleman said, "Please sit down, too."
The little ant sat next to Confucius and listened to their discussion. Confucius sighed unconsciously: "The dead are like this, never leaving day and night. The water of the Yellow River is rushing endlessly, and people's years are passing by. I don't know where the river is going? In this life of a human being, I don't know where to go?" After hearing this, Lao Dan said: "People are born between heaven and earth, and they are one with heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are natural things; people are also natural things. People have changes in youth, youth, strength, and old age, just like What's so sad about the alternation of spring, summer, autumn and winter between heaven and earth? Born in nature and died in nature, if you let nature take its course, your nature will not be chaotic. If you are busy between benevolence and righteousness, your nature will be fettered, and fame will remain in your heart. , then anxiety arises; if the desire for profit remains in the heart, the troubles will increase day by day." Confucius explained: "I am worried that the great road will not work, the benevolence and righteousness will not be implemented, the war will continue, and the country will not be governed. Therefore, life is short, You cannot make contributions to the world, and you cannot express your gratitude to the people." Lao Dan said: "The heaven and the earth can move on their own without being pushed; the sun and the moon can shine by themselves without being burned; the stars can sequence themselves without being arranged; the animals can grow by themselves without being man-made. This is natural. Why bother? The reason why people live, the reason why they die, the reason why they are honored, and the reason why they are humiliated all have natural principles and natural ways. If you follow the natural principles and act according to the natural ways, then the country will be autonomous. , people are self-righteous, why should they focus on rituals and music while promoting benevolence and righteousness? It goes against human nature to focus on rituals and music while promoting benevolence and righteousness. It is like a soldier beating a drum to seek out the fleeing soldiers. The louder the beat, the soldiers will flee. The farther it goes." After a moment, he said to Confucius: "Why doesn't Qiu learn the great virtue?" Confucius asked again: "What is the virtue of water?" Lao Dan said: "The best is like water. Water is good for all things without fighting. This is the virtue of being humble. Therefore, the river and the sea can be the king of a hundred valleys. No one in the world is softer than water, and no one who attacks the strong can win. This is the virtue of softness. Therefore, softness defeats hardness, and weakness The victory is strong because it has no existence. Therefore, it can enter the infinite. From this, we can know the benefits of teaching without words and doing nothing." Lao Dan faced the little ant sitting next to Confucius and said, "The little ant can understand the profound meaning of these words. ?” The little ant replied: “What the teacher said is that when everyone is at the top, the water alone is at the bottom; when everyone is at ease, the water alone is in danger; when everyone is at the clean level, water alone is at the filth level, and the place where it is placed can do all the evil that people can do. Fight against it? That’s why it’s the best thing to do.”
