The folklore story of Wudang Mountain, the legend of Wudang Mountain

One. Finishing: Yang Qiusheng.

Text: Wudang Mountain is very special, at the earliest time, Wudang Mountain did not have a name, it was a mountain ......

When Lao Tzu passed through Hangu Pass, he was stopped by Yin Xi, who did not ask Lao Tzu to write the Tao Te Ching after he stopped, and the first thing he did was to ask Lao Tzu to accept him as an apprentice....

Lao Tzu said: I am going west.

Yin Xi said: There is no contradiction between going west and accepting apprentices, don't you just need someone to serve you when you go west, wouldn't it be better for me to be strong?

Lao Tzu said: You can't go where I go...Yin Xi thought to himself: Why can't I go where you can go as an old man? So he said: If you can go, I can go too!

Lao Tzu smiled and said: Do you really want to go? Yin Xi replied: I really want to go.

Lao Tzu said: Then come. After speaking, Tengyun immediately came to the Heavenly Palace.

Yin Xi sat there stupidly, and he didn't go...After a while, Lao Tzu came back and appeared and asked Yin Xi: Why don't you go? Yin Xi replied

I can't get out of the pants! Lao Tzu said: Look, you can't go!

If heaven doesn't work, let's go to the sea! Lao Tzu is gone again. Yin Xi was still meditating in place** and didn't go!

After a while, Lao Tzu came back and said: You see you really can't go. Yin Xi asked

What should I do, I finally stopped you, and when I met you, you can't leave me alone, right? (kind of relied on haha).

Lao Tzu said: I am gone, but you have to leave the Tao behind....

It was this karma that Lao Tzu wrote the 81 chapters of the Tao Te Ching. Therefore, the Tao Te Ching is not just a scripture, but through this scripture, the Tao has been passed down....

After Lao Tzu finished writing, he said to Yin Xi: If one day, you can go to the nine heavens like me, you can enter the five oceans, and go to the heavens and the earth, it is the day we meet...

After that, Yin Xihan Gu Guan ordered not to do it, and began to search for mountains and ask questions with all the treasures of the Tao Te Ching....

The first stop was Huashan, Huashan has Chen Tuan Ancestor, but Chen Tuan Ancestor is a three-dimensional immortal (not fun) This Chen Tuan Ancestor is another one after Peng Zu (Peng Zu lived 800 years old in the legend), he was more than 400 years old at that time, why is the three-dimensional not fun? Because although he lived for more than 400 years, he slept ...... for 392 yearsThat's why Chen Tuan Ancestor called it again: Sleeping Fairy!

After Yin Xi arrived in Huashan, he found that the energy of this place was the energy of sleep, and secretly thought that I couldn't follow Chen Luan Ancestor to sleep for a few years...I still like Lao Tzu's style: leisurely, modest, and happy (there are many methods in this world, no matter Buddhism, there are ways to sleep) Yin Xi thought about it, it's not fun, I don't like it, let's go....Later, I came to this place now called Wudang Mountain. To be continued ....

Seconds. Finishing: Yang Qiusheng.

It is said that Yin Xi searched for the mountain all the way and asked, and came to this place called "Wudang Mountain" and stopped, and found that this is a good place, why?

He saw a sight, where the 72 peaks were all in the direction of the center (Wanshan Pilgrimage) and he felt that he should stop....

Stop and go to the current two days gate and three days to go up to the door There is a place now called Yinxian Rock, and I built a grass house in **, and practiced the Tao Te Ching every day for many years....

Why has it been used for so many years? Because he got the order of the Tao Te Ching wrong....Once the order is wrong, it is very troublesome and takes a lot of effort and time. There was only one Dao Kedao, and just one of them trapped him for three years....There's no way he asks every day, every day, he's not like us to ask for a day and it's over, he asks every day, but it's okay, it's because he asked the first chapter three years later, and he understands it, and the next few paragraphs are easy to understand....So Yin Xi used which version he chose (that is, the version we see now), and after understanding, he suddenly found that the place of worship of the mountains in front of him was generous with golden light (which he had never seen before), and now we understand that it was only seen after his splitting code cultivation reached that level, in fact, that golden light has always existed....Yin Xi was very happy when he saw it, and thought to himself that I must go to **.

So I started to climb up...At that time, unlike Wudang Mountain now, you can go back and forth in a day, at that time, there was no road in the book, and there were a lot of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards and perennial snow...So he climbed for three months to arrive (**TV asked Wudang Mountain has an intermittent description) Yin Xi climbed up and arrived at the place now called Jinding, as soon as he arrived at that place, he sat cross-legged**, the first time he fused with the energy of this Wudang Mountain, after the fusion, he was more enlightened to the Tao Te Ching, and then read the other chapters to understand it very smoothly, he himself also felt a little more powerful, very excited, at least Lao Tzu said he couldn't go to the place, In the process of fixing, he suddenly saw something in another dimensional space...Later, the content of the 81 chapters of the Tao Te Ching was cleared, Yin Xi thought: I am really ready now, I should be able to go to Lao Shi, but he can go to another space in the meditation, but he is used to thinking about problems in a three-dimensional way of thinking like everyone here, and the first thing he did when he succeeded in practicing in the past was to go down the mountain, so he was excited (it turned out that Lao Tzu could do it to heaven and earth, and he could also do it) Then I am going to go to Lao Tzu now, he actually doesn't know, at that time he will use his mind faster... So he went down the mountain to the place now called Lao Juntang, and when he arrived, he met an old lady (in fact, it was the incarnation of Lao Tzu, and chose a gender with a relatively large contrast) said that Yin Xi walked here and saw an old lady, and thought to himself, how can there be an old lady in this wilderness and deep mountains and old forests? So Yin Xi asked the old man:

What are you doing here? The old lady said, "I have come to ask for the truth!" To be continued ....

Ancient Wudang Mountain is also called "Lao Ye Mountain" in the local folk. A Tang stele on the mountain records that Xuan Yuanxing, the prince of the Sui Dynasty's "Jingluo Country", saw that the mountains and rivers here were beautiful, and the grass was secluded and beautiful, so he abandoned the country and came here to settle the road for 42 years. He eliminated evil and helped the right, helped the poor and loved the people, and was the patriarch of Taoism.

The people feel that their virtue is respected as the old man who accompanies the bend, and the mountain is called the "old man's mountain", and the temple is worshipped. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di read his way and was highly respected, and was crowned "Xuanyuan Emperor", and later generations also called "Arctic Xuanyuan Zhenwu Emperor".

There are a large number of local folk legends about Zhenwu's practice in Beiwudang Mountain, and many of these legends are antique and vivid legends with murals. In particular, the statue of the Emperor Zhenwu on the top of the North Wudang Mountain is very powerful and expressive, "the eyes are across the autumn water, the eyebrows sweep the spring mountain", and its statue seems to retain more of the characteristics of the original people of the ancient Zhenming Emperor Wu who pretended to be the emperor, and it is very charming. And there is a response, very effective.

As a result, the villagers in the surrounding hundreds of miles have been worshipping for generations.

Now, with the spread of the name of the mountain, North Wudang Mountain has gradually become a famous mountain of Taoism and Wudang martial arts at the junction of Jin, Hebei, Shandong and Henan provinces.
