Liu Yi couldn't help asking her: "What pain do you have, and you have wronged yourself to this extent?" At first, the woman looked sad and refused to say anything. Then she began to cry and replied, "I am an unfortunate person and you asked me today." But my resentment is unforgettable. How can I feel ashamed and avoid saying it? I hope you will listen. I used to be the youngest daughter of the Dragon King in Dongting, and my parents married me to the second son of the Dragon King in Jingchuan. But my husband likes to have fun in wine and wine, is confused by minions, and hates and despises me day by day. Later, I told my in-laws that they doted on their son and couldn't control it. Several well-meaning complaints have offended my in-laws. My in-laws tortured me and drove me to this point. "Say that finish, sobbing, very sad. Then he said, "Dongting is so far away from here. The boundless sky can't convey news, my heart is exhausted, my eyes can see through, and I can't know my sadness. "I heard that you are going back to the south. Your hometown is next to Dongting Lake. Maybe I can take you with me. I wonder if you can promise? "
Liu Yi said: "I am a loyal person. I am very excited after listening to your words. I only hate that I have no wings and can't fly to Dongting. What can I say if I promise or not? But Dongting Lake is very deep. I can only travel in the world. How to deliver letters in the Dragon Palace? I'm afraid that the fairyland on earth is dark and the road is impassable, which has failed your enthusiasm and violated your sincere wishes. Do you have any good way to show me the way? "
The woman cried sadly and thanked her and said, "I hope you have a good trip." These words need not be said. If there is an answer, even if (I) died, I would like to thank (you). How dare (me) say more when you didn't promise (just now)? Since you promised, please ask me (how to get to the Dragon Palace in Dongting). Dongting is no different from the capital of the world. "
Liu Yi asked her to talk about it. The woman said, "There is a big orange on the south bank of Dongting, and the locals call it the country. You have to take off your belt, tie something else, knock on the trunk three times and someone will come out to meet you. Just follow him, there will be no obstacles. I hope that in addition to informing you, you will tell my family all the words in my heart and don't change! "
Liu Yi said, "I will listen to you." The woman took the letter out of her skirt, bowed to Liu Yi and handed it to him. Looking at the east, she shed tears again, and she was very sad. Liu Yi also felt sorry for her. (He) put the letter in his bag and asked, "I wonder what's the use of your shepherd. Do the gods still want to slaughter (them)? "
The woman said, "These are not sheep, but' rain workers'."
"What is a' rain worker'?" (Answer) said: "Like thunder and lightning (the god in charge of rain)."
Looking back at those sheep, Liu Yi saw them holding their heads high and striding, drinking water and eating grass in a very special way, but their bodies, hair and horns were no different from those of sheep. Liu Yi added, "I will deliver the letter for you. When you go back to Dongting in the future, I hope you won't avoid me. "
The woman said, "Not only don't avoid it, but treat it like a relative." Say that finish, (Liu Yi and her) bid farewell to the east. I didn't walk dozens of steps. When I looked back, both the woman and the sheep were gone.
That night, (Liu Yi) went to Jingyang to say goodbye to his friends. After more than a month, (Liu Yi) returned to his hometown to visit Dongting. On the south bank of Dongting Lake, there is indeed a kind of social orange. He changed his belt and knocked on the tree three times. After a while, a samurai appeared in the waves, saluted Liu Yi and asked, "Where did the distinguished guest just come from?" Liu Yi didn't tell him the truth, but said, "I'm here to see the king." The samurai separated from the water, pointed out the way and marched with Liu Yi. He said to Liu Yi, "Close your eyes and you will arrive soon." According to his words, Liu Yi went to the Dragon Palace. I saw a tall hall opposite, with countless doors. There are strange flowers and trees in the yard, all kinds. The samurai told Liu Yi to stop at the corner of the temple and said, "Please wait here." Liu Yi asked, "What is this place?" The samurai said, "This is the temple of spiritual emptiness." Liu Yi looked at it carefully and felt that all the treasures in the world were here. The pillars of the temple are made of white walls, the steps are paved with sapphire, the beds are inlaid with coral, the curtains are made of crystal, the green lintel is inlaid with colored glass, and the rainbow-like roof beams are decorated with amber. I can't tell you the depth of the scenery in Qili.
But the dragon king didn't come out for a long time. Liu Yi asked the warrior, "Where is Dongting Jun?" Bushido: "My king is in Zhu Xuange, and he is talking with Taoist Sun about the classics of fire. It's almost over." Liu Yi asked, "What is the fire sutra?" The warrior said, "Our king is a dragon. Dragons show gods with water. He can drown mountains and valleys with a drop of water. Taoist Sun is a human being. People show their skills with fire, and a lamp in Epang Palace can burn to scorched earth. But fire and water have different functions and changes. Sun Daochang is proficient in the use of fire by human beings. We invited him to see the king and listen to his opinion. "
No sooner had I finished than the door was wide open. A group of attendants followed the body like a shadow, and gathered like clouds to surround a man wearing a purple robe and holding a sapphire. The samurai jumped up and said, "This is our king!" " Report immediately. Dong Tingyun looked at Liu Yi and said, "Isn't this the world?" Liu Yi replied, "Yes." He bowed to Dongting Jun, and Dongting Jun replied, asking him to sit in Xu Ling. He said to Liu Yi, "The underwater palace is deep and I am ignorant. Sir, I'm not afraid to come here thousands of miles away. What can I do for you? " Liu Yi said, "I, Liu Yi, am a compatriot of the king. Growing up by the water in Hunan, I went to Chang 'an to seek fame. I didn't pass the exam a few days ago. In my spare time, I rode a horse on the bank of the water mirror and saw the king's daughter herding sheep in the wild. She is weather-beaten and gaunt, which makes people uncomfortable. I asked her. (She) told me:' I was abused by my husband and my in-laws didn't understand, so I came to this step. I was so sad that I burst into tears, which was really pitiful. She asked me to post a letter from home. I promised to be here today. "So he took out the letter and handed it to Dongting Jun. ..
After reading the letter, Mr. Dongting covered his face with his sleeve and began to cry. He said, "This is my father's fault. I can't see and hear clearly, so like the deaf and blind, I don't know that the weak girl in the boudoir was framed by a distance. You are an irrelevant passer-by, but you can help the poor. Thanks to your great kindness, how can I forget? " Say that finish, and lament for a long time. Even the people next to him were moved to tears. At this time, a eunuch was waiting beside him. Dongting Jun gave him the letter and asked him to send it to the palace.
After a while, I heard crying in the palace. Dongting Jun quickly said to his entourage, "Go and tell the palace not to cry, I'm afraid Qiantang Jun will know." Liu Yi asked, "Who is Qiantangjun?" Dong Tingjun said, "It's my beloved brother. I used to be the head of Qiantang, but now I have been dismissed. " Liu Yi asked again, "Why don't you let him know?" Dong Tingyun said: "Because he is brave and extraordinary. Earlier, a flood occurred during Tang Yao's nine-year reign, which was the reason for his anger. Recently, it was not in harmony with the sky, and the five mountains were flooded. God forgave my brother's sin, because I always had some advantages. But he is still detained here, so Qiantang people look forward to his return every day. "
Words haven't say that finish, suddenly a loud noise, the sky is falling, the palace was shaken by the earthquake, clouds poured up. In a blink of an eye, a dragon with thousands of feet long appeared, with eyes like lightning, tongue like latosolic red, scales like cinnabar, mane like flame and a gold chain around its neck. The chain was tied to a jade pillar, and countless lightning flew straight away. Liu Yi threw herself on the ground in fright. Dong Tingjun helped him up personally and said, "Don't be afraid, there is no danger." Liu Yi calmed down after a while, and then she said goodbye, "I want to go back alive and avoid it again." Dong Tingjun said, "That won't happen. It was like this when I went, but it was different when I came back. I hope I can do my bit. " Out of hospitality, he arranged a banquet and toasted each other.
Soon a slight warm wind suddenly blew, revealing colorful clouds. In a harmonious atmosphere, an exquisite guard of honor appeared, followed by a band playing beautiful songs. Countless maids are dressed up and laughing. There is a person behind, born with beauty. She is wearing gorgeous decorations, and the length of silk clothes matches. Liu Yi took a closer look, and it turned out to be the woman who had sent him a message before. But she looked sad and loving, and her tears fell off and on. After a while, red smoke covered her left side, Ziyun floated on her right side, and the fragrant wind curled up and went to the palace. Dong Tingjun smiled and said to Liu Yi, "The people who suffered in the water mirror are back." (Say goodbye to Liu Yi) and go back to the palace. After a while, I heard the voice of complaining again, and it didn't stop for a long time.
After a while, Dongting Jun came out again and had a drink with Liu Yi. I saw another man, wearing a purple robe and holding a sapphire, with outstanding appearance and full of energy, standing on the left side of Dongting Jun. Dongting Jun introduced Liu Yi: "This is Qiantang Jun." Before Liu joined him, he saluted Qiantang Jun. Qiantang Jun also paid a courtesy call back and said to Liu Yi, "Unfortunately, my niece was abused by that bad boy. Rely on your loyalty and trustworthiness; Bring the news that (she) is suffering in the distance here. Rely on your loyalty and trustworthiness; Bring the news that (she) is suffering in the distance here. Otherwise, she will become the dust of Jingling. It's hard to express your kindness and gratitude in words. " Liu Yiqian falsely said that she didn't deserve it, but she repeatedly promised. (Qiantang Army) turned back and said to his younger brother, "I just started from Xulingtang and just arrived in Jingyang. I fought there at noon and didn't come back here." Rush to the ninth day in the middle and report to God. God knows my niece's grievance and forgives my mistake. Even my previous punishment was forgiven. But (I) was strong-willed and didn't have time to say goodbye to you when I left, which disturbed the palace and offended the guests. I'm ashamed and scared, and I don't know how much I'm wrong. "Take a step back and apologize again.
Dong Tingjun asked, "How many lives were injured this time?" (Answer) said: "600,000." "Did you spoil the crops?" (Answer) said, "Fiona Fang is 800 Li." (Ask again): "What about that heartless boy?" (Answer) said, "I ate." Dongting Jun's face showed displeasure and said, "That boy's heart is unbearable; But you are too reckless. With the wisdom of God, I can understand my daughter's strange injustice. How else can I pass the buck? From now on, don't be so reckless! " Mr. Qiantang bowed again (to show his respect).
That night, let Liu Yi stay in Ningguang Hall. The next day, I hosted a banquet for Liu Yi in Ningbi Palace. Meet friends and relatives, grand bands, all kinds of wine and candy, all kinds of musical instruments, all kinds of flags, all kinds of weapons, and there are 10 thousand people on the right. A man came forward and reported, "This is Qiantang's joy of breaking the array." The banner is full of heroic spirit and extremely brave. It was chilling to see it, and everyone present was creepy. On the left is a thousand dancing women, full of pearls and jade, heavy stones and heavy bamboos. A woman came forward and reported, "This is the music of your Lord returning to the palace." The fresh music turns gently, as if complaining. Hearing this, everyone present felt tears in his eyes. After the dancing on both sides, the Dragon King was very happy and rewarded the dancers. Then, everyone sat down in turn and enjoyed themselves.
The dragon king was drunk, patting his seat and singing:
"The sky is gray and the earth is vast. Everyone has their own ideas, how can they think? The fox and the mouse are sacred, and the thin society hits the wall. Thunder sounded, who dares to thank the real person, Xinyi Chang, for bringing my flesh and blood back to my hometown? Qi said he was ashamed. When did he forget? "
When the Dragon King finished singing, Qiantang sang again: "With the cooperation of God, life and death are doomed. This is not a woman, and he is not a husband. The efforts in my heart, the corner of the water mirror. The temple is full of wind and frost, and the rain and snow are endless. Pass on Gong Ming's plain book, let the flesh and blood be the same as home, and always say treasure. "
Qiantang song, the dragon king also stood up, two people together to take the cup to the front of Liu Yi, Liu Yi respectfully nervously took the cup, after drinking, and returned two cups, and then sang:
"Clear water, clean water east. Hurt the beauty, the rain cries and the flowers grieve. There is a long way to go to solve your worries. It's really revenge, and you're still worried about jade. Thanks to kindness and elegance, I feel lonely at home It's hard to stay here for a long time. I am leaving, and I am sad. "
When he finished singing, everyone here shouted long live. So, the Dragon King of Dongting and the Dragon King of Qiantang presented one each, one was a jasper box with boiled rhinoceros, and the other was a red pearl plate with night light, which they gave to Liu Yi. Liu Yixian declined politely. Then, all the people in the palace sent gifts such as jewelry, silk and silk to Liu Yi. These gifts overlapped and looked radiant. In a short time, he was buried by a mountain of gifts. Liu Yi looked at the people around her, kept talking, kept smiling and kept shaking hands to thank her. When the wine was strong, Liu Yi resigned and stayed at the Ning Guang Temple for another night.
The next day, I hosted a banquet for Liu Yi in Guangqing Pavilion. The Dragon King of Qiantang borrowed wine to cover his face and said to Liu Yi, "Haven't you heard that fierce stones can be cracked but not rolled? Is it not a shame for a righteous man to kill them?" ? I have something to tell you from the bottom of my heart. If we can, then we are all in the sky; If not, it's all dirt. what do you think? "
Liu Yi said, "Go."
Qiantang said, "Jingyang's wife is the daughter of the Dragon King of Dongting. She is elegant in temperament and beautiful in appearance. She is highly valued by Jiuyin, but unfortunately she is abused by the bad guys. Now that the bad guys are gone, I want to be related to you, so that I can be grateful and love. Isn't this a gentleman's practice? " Liu Yi was awed and suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't expect Qiantang Jun to be so cautious. I heard that you crossed Kyushu and there were five mountains to vent your anger. I saw you break down the heavy lock and pull down the jade pillar to save the emergency. I think honesty and frankness, who is strong and powerful, can't catch up with you. Those who break the law do not avoid death, and those who are moved are not greedy for life. This is the true ambition of a gentleman. Why is the music beautiful and the guests harmonious, but the power is imposed on others regardless of the gentleman's way? Is this what I always wanted? If I meet you in the middle of waves and mysterious mountains, and you bulge your scales, grow a beard, put on sex and rain, and persecute me with death, I will treat you as an animal. Now, you are sitting here talking about etiquette and justice, wearing a golden dress and a hat. You are not as good as you, even if you are a saint on earth, you are also an elf in the river. And you want to use your stupid big body, brave temperament and alcohol to force others. Is this upright? Besides, my temperament is not enough to hide between your armor, but I dare to overcome your immoral domineering with unyielding determination. I hope you think twice. "
The Dragon King of Qiantang said awkwardly, "I grew up in the palace and have never heard of orthodoxy. I just said arrogantly, prevaricated, and came back to examine myself. This is a heinous crime. I hope you won't be alienated by this unpleasant thing. " That night was another feast, and the music was as old as ever. Liu Yi and the Dragon King of Qiantang became bosom friends.
The next day, Liu Yi left for home. The wife of the Dragon King in Dongting hosted a banquet in honor of Liu Yi in Qianjing Hall. None of the footmen and concubines were present. The wife cried and said to Liu Yi, "My own flesh and blood are deeply grateful to you. Unfortunately, it's time to say goodbye. " So I asked the former Jingyang woman to pay homage to Liu Yi. The lady added, "Now that we are separated, will we meet again someday?" Although Liu Yi didn't answer the invitation of King Qiantang at that time, now he has a sigh and hate expression. After the banquet, everyone in the palace was very sad. The treasure given is hard to say. After Liu Yiran returned to the shore along this route, a dozen people followed him with things on their backs. When I got home, the dozen talents left.
Liu Yi went to Guangling Jewelry Store and sold the treasure he brought back. Less than 1% was sold, and the money was enough for one trillion. So the rich people in Huaixi feel that they are not as good as him. He married Zhang's daughter. Married Han again. A few months later, Han died again. After moving to Jinling, he often felt sorry for not having a wife, and some people found another spouse for him. A matchmaker told him that there was a girl named Lu who was from Fanyang. Her father's name is Fan Hao. He used to be the county magistrate of Liu Qing County. In his later years, he liked Taoism and traveled around alone. Now he doesn't know where it is. Her mother's surname is Zheng. The year before last, she married the Zhang family in Qinghe. It's a pity that her husband surnamed Zhang died young. My mother pities her youth, cherishes her wisdom and beauty and wants to choose another husband to match her. I wonder if Liu Yi is interested. Liu Yi chose a good day for her wedding. Both men and women are rich families, and the more things used in the ceremony, the better. People from all walks of life in Jinling are all amazed.
After more than a month, Liu returned home one night and found his wife very much like the dragon lady, and more plump and beautiful than the dragon lady. So I talked to her about him and the dragon girl. His wife said to him, "How can this be true in the world?" After more than a year, his wife gave birth to a son, and he valued his wife more. When the child is full moon, dress up and change clothes for the child, and call a meeting with relatives and friends. During this period, his wife said to Liu Yi, "You don't remember my past."
Liu Yi said, "I once delivered a book to the daughter of the Dragon King in Dongting, and I still remember it vividly."
The wife said, "I am the daughter of the Dragon King of Dongting! Jingchuan's injustice, you let me get revenge. I am grateful to you and determined to repay you. When my uncle Qiantang Dragon King proposed to me, you refused and left. We live far away, so we can't ask each other My parents want to marry me to the youngest son of Jin Zhuo, the Dragon King, but my determination is hard to change. Parents' orders are hard to disobey. After being rejected by you, the two places don't meet each other. Although they can tell their parents their grievances, they can't satisfy their desire to repay their parents, so I want to come to you for confession. Just in time for you to get married several times, first Zhang, then Han. Zhang Hehan died early, and when you moved here, my parents got my wish to repay the kindness. If I can serve you today, I will die of old age without hating each other. "
So he sobbed and cried, and said to Liu Yi, "I didn't tell the truth when I got married, because I knew you didn't have a heavy heart." I didn't say it until now, because I knew you were moved by me. A woman is meager and unworthy of your determination to me for a lifetime, so I entrusted my life through your beloved son. I don't know about you, but I'm worried and scared, and I can't explain myself. When you received my letter, you smiled and said to me,' When you come back to Dongting in the future, don't avoid me.' I really didn't know at that time. Are you interested in today's events? Later, my uncle proposed to you, and you resolutely refused. You really don't want to? Or because you're angry? Can you tell me? "
Liu Yi said: "This seems to be destiny takes a hand. When I first saw you in the wild of Jingyang, I saw that you were haggard and oppressed, and you really had a wronged heart. All I want is to avenge you, and nothing else. When I said' Don't avoid' to you, I said it by accident. what do you think? Qiantang persecuted me only because it didn't make sense, which angered me. At the beginning, I was determined by just behavior. How can I help others force themselves to be wives? This is necessary. I have always been good at keeping good faith as my ambition. Can I feel at ease when I have wronged myself? This is the second one. At that time, I toasted each other one by one. Because I expressed my feelings frankly, I just want to be happy and have no time to avoid harm. But when I want to leave, I regret it very much when I see your attached expression. But in the end, I can't thank you because of personnel constraints. Alas, today you are Lushi, living on earth, so there is no doubt about my original idea. From then on, we will always love each other and have no attachments in our hearts. "
The wife was deeply moved and cried for a long time. After a while, his wife said to Liu Yi, "Don't think that I have no feelings just because I am not human. I know I should repay you. The life span of a dragon is 10,000 years, and now I am like you. There is no place where you can't go by land and water. Don't feel ridiculous. "
Liu Yi praised: "I didn't expect that because I married such a beautiful wife, I had a chance to become an immortal."
So the husband and wife went to visit relatives in Dongting, and when they arrived, it was difficult for both sides to have a thorough ceremony. Later, his family lived in the South China Sea for nearly forty years. His house, horses and chariots, delicacies, costumes and playthings were not even comparable to Hou Bo's house. All Liu benefited from the exposure. Year after year passed, but Liu Yi-yi didn't get old. People in the South China Sea are not surprised by this.
In the mid-kaiyuan period, the emperor was interested in immortals and sought Tao everywhere. Liu Yi was restless and returned to Dongting with his family. No one has known him for more than ten years. By the end of Kaiyuan, Liu Yi's cousin Xue Wei was already a member of the capital. Demote the southeast and cross Dongting. He looked at the water in broad daylight, but saw the green hills rising from the water. Everyone on the boat looked at it and said, "There are no mountains here. I am afraid it is a water monster? " When the mountain and the boat approached, a floater came from the mountain and asked some questions to see Xue Wei. One of them called him and said, "Gong Liu is waiting for you!" " Xue Wei suddenly remembered Liu Yi, so he hurried down the hill, grabbed his skirt and hurried up the hill. He saw a palace above, just like the human world. Liu Yi stood in the palace, with bands lined up in front and pearls and jade listed behind, many times more than those on earth. Liu Yi's speech is more profound, and her appearance is younger. At first, I greeted Xue Wei under the wall. He took Xue Wei's hand and said, "We haven't been apart for a long time. Your hair is yellow!" Xue Wei said with a smile: "You are a fairy, I am a dead bone, and this is life!" "Liu Yi took out fifty pills and handed them to Xue Wei, saying," One pill of this medicine can prolong the life of one year. Come back when you are old, don't stay in the world for a long time and suffer for yourself. " After the banquet, Xue Wei said goodbye. Since then, there has been no trace. Xue Wei often tells others about it. About forty-eight years later, Xue Wei also disappeared.
Li in Longxi described this matter and sighed, "The five worms must have spirits, which is different from what I saw here. Man is a naked worm, and the truth of human belief is applied to the scale worm (referring to the responsibility of Liu generation dragon girl to pass on books). The Dragon King of Dongting is broad-minded and straightforward, and the Dragon King of Qiantang is swift and upright, which should be inherited. Xue Wei just sighed and didn't make detailed records. Only he can get close to fairyland. I thought it was meaningful, so I wrote this article.
