This story is related to the allusion that King Xiang had a dream and the goddess had no intention of doing so.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, King Chu Xiang and his minister Song Yu visited Yunmeng Terrace. After seeing the magnificent scenery of the Wu Gorge mountains, Song Yu began to purposefully attract King Chu Xiang's attention to the highest Goddess Peak.
King Chu Xiang saw the beauty and wonder of the Goddess Peak, and immediately asked Song Yu what the peak was. Song Yu had already had this intention, and he saw the opportunity to move the "Wushan Goddess" out. He praised the Wushan Goddess for her beauty, charm, good looks, and extremely good deeds. The way of singing and dancing.
Song Yu bluntly said that when the late King Huai of Chu visited Wushan, he once fell into a dream while resting on the king's boat. In his dream, he met a goddess, but the goddess left the dream without leaving her name.
After King Chu Huai woke up, he summoned a witch to ask about the interpretation of the dream. After hearing King Chu Huai's description, the witch explained that the Wushan goddess met her in a dream. However, she may be too shy to see a man, so she did not leave a name.
However, since the goddess fell into a dream, it might be a hint that King Chu Huai was her favorite. With the witch's blessing, King Chu Huai came to the Goddess Peak to eat Yao grass. As expected, he saw the Wushan Goddess sitting in a gorgeous palace. He It was love at first sight with the Wushan goddess, and the two enjoyed each other for several days!
Although the story told by Song Yu was only about the deeds of King Huai of Chu, King Xiang of Chu was very moved. Seeing that he was traveling here, he also wanted to imitate the previous king and have a dream encounter with the goddess of Wushan. For this reason, he fasted for several days and Burning incense and praying, let the witch channel Wushan on her behalf.
However, although King Chu Xiang was interested, Wushan Goddess had no thoughts. He fell asleep for several days in a row, but did not see the Goddess coming, so he returned in despair.
This experience of King Xiang of Chu gradually evolved into "King Xiang has a dream, but the goddess has no intention", which means admiration for others and one-sided lovesickness.
At this time, Song Yu told the story of King Huai of Chu. It was obviously that the late king met the Wushan goddess for several days. The meaning behind his words was that King Huai of Chu was obsessed with the beauty of Zheng Xiu and was lazy in government affairs. This was not the fault of a wise king. However, King Chu Xiang mistakenly thought that he was reminding him that he could meet the goddess in his dream, which led to such a big ridiculous misunderstanding.
Counting further back to the era of water control, the goddess Yao Ji was ordered by the Emperor of Heaven to give the secret book of water control to Dayu. At the same time, she also personally helped Dayu to destroy the twelve evil dragons and sent the divine crow to guide Dayu's canoe. After that, Yao Ji Ji built a cave in Wushan and cultivated clouds and sown rain in the human world.
Because of her benefits to the people and the cultivation of spiritual herbs, the Wushan Goddess has become a folk belief near Wushan. The most popular place is Wushan County near Shennongjia.
Song Siyuan said this and continued: "I heard that in order to become a god after death, the Wushan Goddess established the Wushan Hades in Wushan to attract the souls who died along the river. Over time, this place became a place besides Mount Tai and Qinling. Another place where the dead souls return.”
"If that's the case, it seems to have some connection with the Yin soldiers crossing the border recorded in Xiangyang County Chronicles."
She paused and took out an excerpt from the information she found: "It is recorded in Xiangyang local chronicles that the Yin soldiers passed through the border and disappeared in Shennongjia. This is consistent with the records of the Yin Palace in Wushan. The people who suppress the gods also said However, if you want to find Beifu Tomb, you must pass through Wushan Yinfu."
"I was wondering, could it be that the space where the Beifu Cenotaph is located does not belong to the human world at all?"
Her words made Yue Guanchao lick his teeth: "When you talk about the human world, you are referring to the space we can see."
"Yes, whether it is the end of the Yin soldiers' transit, the Wushan Yin Mansion, or the underworld after Guanluo Yin, it probably exists near Shennongjia, but it is a space that we cannot see." Song Siyuan could only Such a guess.
"But, does such a space really exist? Is there a second Yinping Witchland in this world?" Xu Xiake asked.
"That's the point I'm trying to make!"
Song Siyuan looked at the crowd, with light flashing in her eyes: "Perhaps, these spaces are not the Yinping Witchland, but they must be as unknown to the world as they are. Just like what is recorded in Peach Blossom Spring, there is a different cave."
"If we really think so, then Liu Yu must have used fish pendants to open these spaces and create tombs inside. This is exactly in line with his idea of offering sacrifices to the Yin soldiers. As long as this space is closed, it is equivalent to The Tomb of Heroes has completely disappeared from Shennongjia. From now on, as long as you find the wrong method, it will be difficult to find the Tomb of Heroes."
Yue Guanchao already knew what Song Siyuan meant and guessed: "The way to find Zhong is to become a disciple of Luoshen."
"This is just an appearance!"
Song Siyuan explained: "At first, we thought that the abnormality in Shennongjia was because Yupei was buried in the tomb. Now it seems that Yupei is not the reason but just a key that allows Liu Yu to enter the world. At the same time, Yupei is buried in the tomb. After the burial of the tomb, new changes were brought to Shennongjia, and abnormal animals began to appear in Shennongjia."
"Looking at these albino animals, could it be that the existence of fish pendants has changed the appearance of the animals, and also caused certain mutations in the animals' brains, allowing them to possess the power of ghosts and gods as understood by the secular world? If we speculate like this, this is likely to be the case for the white river sturgeon."
"Assuming that this situation is true, the power possessed by the white river sturgeon is actually the alienation of living things by fish pendants. Their alienation also allows living people to temporarily simulate that world under the influence of blurred consciousness and drugs."
She paused, and her eyes suddenly became clear: "If you understand it this way, what Yashenjiang said about becoming a disciple of Luoshen, could it be that Yupei's alienation to people is also the alienation of the Baijiang Sturgeon? It becomes temporarily stored in the body of a living person, which is the truth of falling into the gods."
"All in all, what really allows people to find the tomb must be the transformation of certain abilities by Yupei, not the Luo Shen or the Wushan Goddess. These so-called miracles or gods may also come from the changes in Shennongjia."
"In this way, Hua Yuxiu's yin life is likely to be the key to carrying certain mutations. It is likely that such a person will not appear for decades, so the God-pressing Craftsman is willing to wait for decades."
Yue Qingshan nodded: "What my daughter said is indeed possible, then this trip to Wushan is a certainty."
Tan Yanqiu had no choice but to agree to the pressure of the God Craftsman within three days and took Hua Yuxiu, Yue Guanchao and the others to the Dragon King Temple Pier.
In the distance, the Jianghanguan Building was towering and majestic, and ferries were unloading cargo at various docks. When they arrived, Ban Shu was standing on the ferry waving to them.
The group of people got on the boat and gradually moved away from Jianghan Pass and out of Jianghan City.
