It is said that there was no crescent spring outside Dunhuang, which was originally the holy land of Buddhism and was called Leiyin temple.
Every day, many good men and women come here to burn incense and pray for the Buddha's blessing, and they are extremely effective.
On the eighth day of April of this year, under the leadership of the abbot of Leiyin temple, a Grand Buddha festival was held here.
When the abbot brought out the holy water for one night, suddenly a spirit who had been practicing for thousands of years came. He said that he was not convinced with the abbot here and wanted to compete with his master abbot.
Master abbot is a monk. He doesn't want to compete with a demon.
But the monster was not willing to let go, so he used the magic he had learned in the mountains.
I saw him reciting words. Not long after that, I saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds, the wind was blowing, and the yellow sand in the desert was flying all over the sky.
Before long, the yellow sand blown by the strong wind buried the Leiyin temple in the yellow sand.
But it is amazing that the bowl with holy water is still there, not buried in the yellow sand with Leiyin temple.
The monster was very angry, so he continued to use his magic. Seeing the yellow sand in the desert, he wanted to drown the bowl of holy water in the yellow sand.
However, no matter how much yellow sand he led, these yellow sand could not enter the bowl of holy water, and those yellow sand piled up around the bowl of holy water, and the higher they piled up, and finally they became a sand mountain, namely Mingsha mountain.
The monster was surprised to see that the bowl of holy water was so magical. Knowing that there was Buddha's blessing, he quickly left here.
Not long after the monster left, the bowl of holy water suddenly toppled, and the holy water flowed out into a spring, and the monster suddenly turned into a stone because he had done something wrong and had not gone far.
After listening to Xin Youxuan's fairy tale, the wise master said, "I once heard the Persian businessman say that there is such a magical spring outside Dunhuang. I think that there is such a beautiful legend about his formation."
"This is just a legend about the formation of crescent spring. There is also a legend about the origin of the name." Xin Youxuan said.
Said, he continued to say.
It is said that in the early years of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, master Xuanzang went to the West Tianda Leiyin temple to pray for Buddhist scriptures and came to Dunhuang,
in this endless desert, there was no water or food. He and his horses were dying.
When the Bodhisattva of Avalokitesvara knew it, he poured out a drop of purified water from his own bottle.
Because of the lack of water and dried up crescent spring will be full of vitality again.
Master Sanzang and bailongma got drinking water and finally survived. When he saw that the spring looked like a crescent moon, he called it crescent moon spring.
After Xin Youxuan finished his speech, he said, "master Sanzang, at the request of Emperor Taizong, wrote a record of the western regions in the Tang Dynasty after he came back to seek the true scriptures. It really records the crescent spring in Dunhuang city."
"It seems that there is a real part in this myth." The wise man replied.
It turned out that after two days' rest in the inn in Dunhuang City, they felt that their physical strength had almost recovered, so they came out of Dunhuang city and wanted to visit the famous crescent spring.
They were very interested. They didn't ride a horse or use their lightness skills. They walked while Youxuan explained the origin of Yueya spring. It was very pleasant.
There are not many very high places in the desert.
As they walked, they saw a towering Sand Mountain in front of them.
Xin Youxuan pointed to it and said, "this should be Mingsha mountain."
"It should be. Look at the sand in the sand mountain. There are many colors, including red, yellow, blue, white and black." Wisdom is the way.
Generally, the quicksand mound can not be too high, and when a strong wind blows, a sand mound will become flat, and a flat ground may become a sand mound.
Mingsha mountain, however, is different. Since its formation, it has been towering there, with a height of nearly 2000 meters.
Under the main peak of the sand mountain, there are many small sand mountains nestled close to it in different shapes,
some are like waves in the sea, some are like fallen leaves on the ground in autumn.
When Xin Youxuan and the wise master went to the foot of Mingsha mountain, they saw that the sand here was really different from other places. It was like careful polishing. Every grain was so smooth and mellow. Under the bright sunlight, it reflected colorful light. People who didn't know thought they had found a treasure mountain in the desert.
The master of wisdom is very curious, so he wants to climb to the top of Mingsha mountain from the foot of the mountain, so as to have a look at the scenery from a high place.
If it's an ordinary steep mountain full of trees, it's not very difficult for them to climb. But this mountain is different, very steep, but the mountain is made of quicksand, people walk on it, a little hard, the sand under the feet will slide, so it is very difficult to climb up.They walked very slowly. It can be said that they took one step and retreated half a step. They finally climbed the Mingsha mountain.
Standing on the top of Mingsha mountain, I can see the sand dunes rising and falling in the distance, just like a giant dragon.
Next, it's the sparkling crescent spring.
There is sand in the spring and spring in the sand. The two complement each other. It's really beautiful.
The wise man called out and said, "brother Youxuan, what are you doing standing here
After that, he went down by the sand.
Seeing her movements, Xin Youxuan realized that the wisdom master was going to slide down from here.
Young people, like to play, Xin Youxuan is no exception, but also jump, also jump down.
When the sand here is sliding, it's like wonderful music. It's very pleasant.
Both of them slide to the foot of Mingsha mountain.
Xin Youxuan raises the wise man.
They were standing by the crescent spring by this time. I didn't feel it in the distance. When I walked in, I found that it was quite big.
It's about seven or eight kilometers from north to south, and it's about twelve thousand meters wide. The water is very clear, but you can't see the bottom of the spring. It seems that the spring is at least several hundred meters deep.
It is nourished by the spring water of crescent spring. On its bank, there are dense reeds and other unknown plants. Far away, there are several big trees with luxuriant branches, which are very eye-catching in the desolate desert around.
They were a little intoxicated by the beautiful scenery in front of them.
The wise man asked, "brother Youxuan, where do you think the spring water from Yueya spring comes from? There are many barren deserts around here."
"Remember the low river we walked through?" Xin Youxuan asked.
The wise master immediately replied, "I see. You mean that there is a low underground river under the crescent spring to transport water here."
"There's a place where we've seen the underground water seep through the desert. It's impossible for us to see the underground water seeping through the desert." Xin Youxuan said.
The wise man said with a smile, "let's not study this. Don't forget the purpose of coming here."
"Except for this sand mountain, it is the crescent spring. At present, nothing unusual has been seen." Xin Youxuan said.
The wise master pointed to the distance and said, "in addition to what you said, brother Youxuan, there are still some buildings over there."
At a distance from the water bank of Yueya spring, there is a group of buildings, which looks quite impressive.
After listening to the words of wisdom venerable, Xin Youxuan thought, "go there and have a look. Maybe you will find something."
So they walked from the east to this group of buildings.
we can see that there are different offerings, some of which are for Bodhisattvas, and others are for the Dragon King.
Then they continued to walk forward, and there was a high stage. When they came to the stage, they saw three big words "Shenhuo" written on it.
Xin Youxuan said: "it seems that this stage should be related to fire!"
Wisdom venerable comes from Persia, is not familiar with these, Xin Youxuan one by one for her detailed explanation. Fortunately, she could understand what was written on the tablet when she understood the characters of the Central Plains.
I find that there are two characters engraved on the platform.
If you look at it carefully, it turns out that in ancient times, it was a vast ocean. But one day, there was a sudden thunder and lightning. The sky, which was originally a night, suddenly became red as if it was burning. Later, countless flames fell from the world, burning the vast ocean.
I don't know how long it burned, the sea water was evaporated, exposing the sand on the bottom of the sea, and the trees around the sea were also burned clean.
After the disaster, only good people survived. They had no place to go. They lived next to the last spring.
In order to let future generations remember these, they set up this magic fire platform.
After listening to Xin Youxuan's introduction, the wise venerable said, "it seems that this fire shrine has a great origin."
"Yes, but I don't know where the descendants of the ancestors who built this platform are now in exile?" Xin Youxuan asked.
Wisdom venerable way: "the vicissitudes of life, the stars change, although the object, but this person has not known how many reincarnation."
"Maybe many years later, we'll be here, and the station will be gone." Xin Youxuan said.
Before the wisdom master answered, he saw several people running towards the fire platform with their lightness skills.
These people should be showing off their martial arts on purpose. They see yellow sand rolling up all over the sky behind them, full of momentum.
Soon, these people came to Xin Youxuan.
There are a few xinyouxuan and wisdom venerable all know, they are xiaoyaosanren and Kunlun great protector Xiao Yuanqing.
Seeing them, the wise man said, "Why are you two old things again? It seems that if you don't want your little life, you will always pester us.""Hey hey, dead girl, you're not staying in Persia. I'm afraid you can't go back this time." Xiao Yuanqing, the great protector of Kunlun, is not willing to be outdone.
Xiaoyaosanren pointed to a woman beside him and said, "do you know who this is?"
"With these two pieces of material, you can get some brilliant people." Wisdom is the way.
Xiaoyaosanren laughed and said: "you two younger generation, you know, these two standing in front of you now, that is, the immortal father of this boy surnamed Xin, are here. I'm afraid that they will be scared to the ground."
"Don't blow nonsense here. I won't let you off this time. I didn't kill you because of you or the elder of Wulin. It seems that I can't do without killing you." Xin Youxuan listen to his father's words disrespect, very angry said.
Xiaoyao Sanren said loudly, "I tell you, this is general Chunqiu, the owner of the most mysterious beauty group in the Central Plains Wulin recently."
This words a, wisdom venerable don't know but don't feel what, but Xin Youxuan is very shocked.
When he didn't come to the Great Wall, he once heard his father and fellow Wulin talk about it.
It's a great character to know the master of this beauty group.
Xiaoyao Sanren is an old hand in the world. He is a child to observe his words and looks. Seeing Xinxin Youxuan's look, he knows that he is afraid of general Chunqiu. He says: "ha ha, boy, you know general Chunqiu's strength compared with you. Even if I'm not your opponent, as long as general Chunqiu makes a move, I'm afraid you will be finished right away."
"What kind of fake general, the real one or the princess? In Persia, the Grand Marshal wants to be respectful when he meets the real princess. Who is afraid of who?" An answer that the wise man disdains.
The wisdom Master said these words, just in line with Xiaoyao Sanren's mind, his purpose is to irritate the spring and autumn general, force her to do it, let Xin Youxuan and her fight to death, he can not only take advantage of the fishermen, but also snow his shame of being defeated by Xin Youxuan and them.
How did the mysterious general Chunqiu get in touch with Xiaoyao Sanren?
It turns out that this is all secretly planned by the dark king, the leader of the Sirian tribe in osiria convia.
The dark king, the leader of the heavenly wolf tribe in osiria, knows that it is very difficult for Xiaoyao Sanren and Kunlun protector Xiao Yuanqing to defeat Xin Youxuan without direct action.
So after he accepted general Chunqiu, he secretly arranged for him to help Xiaoyao Sanren.
On the one hand, it can monitor the whereabouts of Xiaoyao scattered people, and on the other hand, it can let them check and balance each other.
General Chunqiu has heard of Xiaoyaosan and xiaoyuanqing, the great protector of Kunlun. He knows that they are top figures in the world.
But general Chunqiu thought that it was not worth mentioning that these people were compared with herself. Even if she wanted to destroy the whole Kunlun sect, she would do nothing.
When the dark king asked her to help Xiao Yuanqing, the great protector of kunlu, her heart was very unconvinced, but she was threatened by the dark king's almost magical method and had to do it.
Besides, they promised to help themselves recover the kingdom of Jin one day. In order to meet the emperor's last instructions, she had to follow the instructions of the dark king.
