Taihua Mountain has been said to be the most dangerous mountain in the world since ancient times.
It is bounded by the Xishan Mountains in the south, the Qinling Mountains, and the Huangwei Mountains in the north. It is an arrogant mountain range and is an extremely important mountain range in the Xishan Mountains.
There are rumors that there was once a paradise in the cave on Mount Taihua. Many immortal cultivators climbed the mountain in search of opportunities. However, the mountain roads were steep and there were countless strange peaks and ridges. Many visitors found nothing and returned empty-handed.
As early as in ancient times, Taihua Mountain belonged to the same mountain range as Shaohua Mountain to the west. However, because Taihua Mountain at that time was so majestic and majestic, it isolated the Huangwei water, so that the Huangwei water could only take a detour when passing through. Later, it was split into two by the giant spirit in the water of Huangwei, which allowed Huangwei to pass unimpeded.
Legend has it that the giant spirit split the top of the mountain with its hands and opened the foothills with its feet, eventually dividing the mountain into Taihua Mountain and Shaohua Mountain. According to descendants, the imprint of the giant god's hands and feet can be faintly seen on the top of Taihua Mountain, which is extremely profound.
Taihua Mountain is located on the southeastern boundary of the West Mountain. The entire mountain consists of five large peaks. Among them, the East Peak, West Peak, and South Peak form a tripod shape and are the main peaks of Taihua Mountain. The middle peak and the north peak complement each other, and in addition, there are various small peaks surrounding it, which form the appearance of this strange mountain.
On Taihua Mountain, there are countless places of interest and scenery. Many people have come here for sightseeing since ancient times. Even ordinary people will come here to admire it and marvel at it.
Although the mountain is steep and dangerous, some cultivators can basically come and go freely as long as they don't go into too dangerous situations. Therefore, today’s Taihua Mountain is basically heard by everyone in the whole mountain and sea, and some of the scenic spots on Taihua Mountain are recorded in detail.
There is the northern peak of Taihua Mountain, which is suspended on all sides. It has a crown of scenic clouds and a ground connection below. It is majestic and unique. There are clouds like a platform. This is why the place is called Yuntai Peak. You can see all the mountains at a glance and see the beauty of the ages.
There is a Baiyun Peak to the north of the adjacent peak, Liangzhang Mountain to the east, leading to the three main peaks of east, west and south, and Gouzhuang Gorge below, which is completely natural. There is also a scenic spot at the top, called Yiyun Pavilion. To the south, you can see three peaks and another incredible place, Canglong Ridge. In addition, the trees on Taihua Mountain are lush, delicate and full of spiritual energy.
The west peak of Taihua Mountain is even more peculiar. The entire mountain range is formed from a single huge boulder. The cliffs in the northwest are thousands of feet tall, as if cut with a knife.
When you climb the West Peak, you can see far into the distance. The surrounding mountains are undulating, clouds are draped all around, the surrounding fields are open, and the Yellow River and Wei River meander. Being in it is like entering a fairyland, like a hermit in the world, floating like a gull, the sky and the earth are like sand gulls.
Climbing to the top of the south peak of Taihua Mountain, you can feel that the sky is close at hand and you can pick the stars. Looking around, we can see that the mountains and mountains are overlapping, undulating and vast, and the water of the Yellow River and Wei River stretches imperceptibly like strands of silk. It can be seen that the Momo plain is like silk cotton and has a panoramic view. It is truly majestic and vast, making people feel like they are in the heaven and walking on floating clouds.
When climbing to the East Peak, you are at a high altitude and have a wide view. There is a viewing platform on it, where you can see the beautiful sunrise in the east. It is called the Chaorang Balcony. The road to the East Peak is dangerous and dangerous. It is tens of feet high at a glance. There are natural stone patterns on the cliff at the East Stone Tower Peak, which look like a giant palm print. It is the Taihua Mountain Immortal that is listed as the first of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong. The palm is also the trace left by the giant spirit who lived in Huangweizhong in ancient times.
Finally, there is the middle peak of Taihua Mountain. The middle peak is located in the central boundary of the three large peaks in the east, west and south. The trees on the peak are lush, the environment is quiet, and there are countless exotic flowers and plants that are unknown. In addition, there are several scenic spots on Zhongfeng, but the most talked-about one is the Taoist Jade Girl Temple at the top of the peak.
It is said that in ancient times, there was a king named Qin Mu Gong, who gave birth to a daughter named Nongyu. Nongyu has a peerless appearance and is extremely intelligent. She especially likes music and is good at playing the sheng. When Nongyu plays the sheng, her voice is melodious and charming, like the cry of a phoenix, which is extremely pleasant to the ear.
Duke Mu of Qin naturally loved Nongyu very much, so he specially built a phoenix tower in the palace for her to live in. There was a high platform in front of the building, called Fengtai. Whenever a dignitary came to visit, Qin Mugong would ask Nongyu to come out and play a song for everyone on the Fengtai. Therefore, many young people from wealthy families at that time loved Nongyu very much and came to propose marriage.
Duke Mu of Qin was naturally pleased to see his daughter, who was not only beautiful, but also talented. She was a peerless woman known far and wide, and he was equally proud.
There was an endless stream of people coming to propose marriage. Duke Mu of Qin originally wanted Nong Yu to choose the marriage himself, but Nong Yu was born with pride and did not want to become the norm in the world. She has no emotion at all for these men who are covetous of her appearance or her music. She has always closed the door and ignored them.
Seeing that his daughter was so stubborn, Duke Mu of Qin could not control her temper. He once asked Nong Yu privately what kind of requirements her lover wanted, and he would just send someone to find her.
Nongyu was furious and at a loss. She had grown up under the guidance of her father from childhood to adulthood. Although she was extremely talented in music and her father treated her very well, to her, she was like a person locked in a cage. A canary has always been stared at and rewarded. Now when it came to his own marriage, he still couldn't make a choice. Nongyu had no other choice but to go against Qin Mugong Zhuangzhuo, and then let him follow her.
What Nongyu and Qin Mugong said was that he wanted him to publicize that anyone who marries her must be good at playing the sheng. Not only can he surpass Nongyu in skill, but his skill in playing the sheng must be on par with his own, so that he can be considered a match. , a match made in heaven.
When Duke Mu of Qin heard this, he was in great distress. If there was someone within a hundred miles with such outstanding sheng skills as Nong Yu, he had never heard of it. This could teach him how to start. But no matter what, since Nong Yu had made a request, he had to follow her needs first and increase his manpower to search everywhere, hoping to find a suitable husband for Nong Yu.
It was night, and Nong Yu stood on the Fengtai in a daze, looking at the dark sky, her eyes blurred, and her heart felt sad. Looking back on when I was a child, although I was good at music and played the sheng superbly, I was never truly happy for a day. I played the sheng with others and performed in public, but I just didn't want to go against my father's wishes for fear that he wouldn't like it.
Nongyu nestled lonely on the edge of the pillar, staring at the deserted moon in the sky with her beautiful eyes. Perhaps she couldn't help herself, she couldn't help but take out the jade sheng from her arms, put it to her mouth and played it gently.
The melody is soft and graceful, like a wisp of smoke in the silent night, swaying with the evening wind, drifting to the horizon, echoing in the sky for a long time.
Nongyu was lost in selflessness, as if all the grievances and sadness in the past were hidden in the sound of the piano. She became more and more excited, and the sound of the music also rose and fell, euphemistically beautiful.
With her consciousness introverted, Nongyu suddenly felt a sense of joy in her heart. She seemed to feel a hint of warmth gradually coming from the Yusheng in her hand. On the Fengtai in the cold water at night, she felt that she was no longer alone. , as if someone was playing the flute in my ear, and a wisp of flute sound flowed into my ears, playing in harmony with myself.
That night, Nongyu went back to her room and had a dream. In her dream, there was a handsome young man, holding a bamboo flute in one hand, riding a colorful phoenix and flying towards him. The sound of his flute, which was like the sound of nature, gradually came closer and closer, until She appeared completely in front of Nongyu's eyes, looking at her affectionately and tenderly.
In the dream, the young man said to Nong Yu, "My name is Xiao Shi, and I live in Taihua Mountain. I came here because I heard your playing tonight and was attracted by the singing. I didn't expect it to be you! You and I Sheng Hundreds of years ago, Xiao was a couple, and there was a marriage in the previous life. Now it is God's grace that allowed me to find you."
Nongyu was confused and didn't understand what the young man meant, but he heard the beautiful sound of his flute, which was as good as his own, so he didn't care about anything else, so he pulled him to play together and resonate, and the two of them were dreaming. The atmosphere is extremely joyful, and the joy of cooperation is seamless and harmonious.
Nongyu himself also felt deeply strange. This feeling was something he had never had before. When the two of them played music together, the sound was more delicate and sweet than before.
From then on, the two often met each other in dreams, playing the sheng and xiao in harmony, and Nongyu also fell in love with Xiao Shi's tenderness, and her heart secretly expressed love.
Nong Yu's strangeness quickly aroused the attention of Qin Mugong. After his questioning, Qin Mugong knew the cause of the matter and couldn't help but sigh. But he also had worries in his heart. After all, it was Nong Yu who was in a dream, and he didn't know whether it was true or not. He was even more worried about whether Nong Yu was hallucinating. So I sent someone to Taihua Mountain to investigate and see if there was such a person on the mountain.
Under the instructions of Qin Mugong, a small team of skilled masters were sent to Taihua Mountain to look for Xiao Shi. After inquiring and searching, everyone found Xiao Shi on the top of the mountain. After several people explained their intention, Xiao Shi was also anxious and hurried back to the palace with them.
Nongyu cried with joy when she saw her sweetheart, and threw herself into Xiao Shi's arms, unwilling to let go for a long time.
Duke Mu of Qin was also a beautiful man, and he quickly arranged for the two to get married on a certain date, and they got married.
After the two got married, they loved each other very much, and Xiao Shi took great care of Nongyu and showed great pity to her. The two often traveled together to play in the mountains and rivers. In the woods, by streams and lakes, they played the sheng and danced the flute, and their songs were spread all over the world.
But the good times didn't last long, because the two's romantic singing and dancing, and their beautiful vocals, soon caused a huge stir at the time. Everyone began to imitate the two men, relaxed, lazy and free, making the whole country extremely lazy.
The officials in the DPRK were worried that the continued fermentation of this phenomenon would cause unrest in the country, so they continued to impeach Duke Mugong of Qin for their actions, which were insulting to the country's customs, which also devastated the people and chilled the soldiers.
Xiao Shi and Nong Yu, who knew this, wanted to avoid embarrassing Duke Mu of Qin and avoid these gossips in the world, so Nong Yu left a letter home and left without saying goodbye. They went to Taihua Mountain with Xiao Shi and lived in seclusion.
Xiao Shi once told Nong Yu that he was originally a god in heaven because the Emperor of Heaven saw that human history books were in disarray and ordered him to come down to earth to deal with the matter. Because he had contributed to history, some Zhou people called him Xiao Shi. Today, he has been in the human world for hundreds of years, and the Emperor of Heaven has appointed him as the Lord of Taihua Mountain. These hundreds of years of vicissitudes of life were due to the fact that he and her had a long-term relationship in the previous life, so they were able to cooperate with each other in the next life.
However, Xiao Shigui was an immortal and could not stay in the human world for long. He had defied destiny several times and refused to ascend to immortality and fly away. He was willing to use everything he had for the rest of his life to live happily ever after with Nongyu.
But how could the Emperor of Heaven agree? Falling in love between immortals and mortals has never been tolerated by heaven since ancient times. The two refused to give up their lives and sacrificed their lives for love. At the top of Taihua Mountain, they played the last three divine songs of their lives, which shocked the world.
The first song, the breeze is blowing, as if someone is pouring out their feelings, the mountain stream is rushing, like a woman hiding her face and crying.
In the second song, the sunset glow and colorful clouds blend together, and the clouds roll and relax, just like people in love hugging each other tightly and lingering.
In the third song, white cranes are seen dancing in the sky in pairs, peacocks are seen in pairs, perching and gathering in the forest, and hundreds of birds sing in harmony for a while, which lasts for a long time.
Later generations have more legends about the fourth song. At the moment when the two people jumped off the cliff together, dragons and phoenixes were flying and circling in the sky. They were moved by their undying love until death and rescued them. Someone once witnessed it with his own eyes, saying that Xiao Shi rode a dragon and Nong Yu sat on a phoenix. The two joined hands and soared to the sky.
The "quick son-in-law riding a dragon" mentioned in the classics of later generations also refers to Xiao Shi himself.
After learning the news about the two people, Qin Mugong came overnight, but was still a step too late. In desperation, he built a temple here to commemorate it, and asked someone to carve a stone statue based on the appearance of the jade to enshrine it. From then on, there was This is the Jade Girl Temple on Jade Girl Peak.
Almost all the scenic spots at the peak of Taihua Mountain are related to the story of Xiao Shi and Nongyu. Many poets have written many touching poems about the sincere and passionate love between the two, which have been passed down through the ages and praised by the world.
