Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-03-01

At the foot of Leishi Mountain, "Xiangyin County Atlas" records that there is a pharmacist pond. "A Unification Chronicle" records that there is a dragon pond here. Legend has it that the water of Longtan can cure all diseases. Qu Yuan, a poet of the Chu State, was exiled here, and first lived on Leishi Mountain.

Yaoshi Lake is located between Leishi Mountain and Phoenix Mountain, and Yaoshi Lake is actually the later Miluo Lake. Surrounded by dense forests, the water of the pond is crystal clear and is said to have the power of a miracle medicine. There is a local legend that says that there is a miracle medicine in the pond, which can lead to all diseases. When Qu Yuan heard about this legend, he decided to find out the truth about the miracle medicine.

One day, Qu Yuan came to the edge of the Medicine Master Pond and saw that the water was clear, and he couldn't help jumping into the water. In the pool, he felt a mysterious force draw him, as if to suck him into the abyss. Just as Qu Yuan was terrified, a ray of light rose from the bottom of the pool, leading him to a mysterious world.

In fact, Leishi Mountain is Dongting Mountain. The memoirs say: Dongting Mountain floats on the water, there are hundreds of golden halls under it, the jade girl lives there, and the sound of gold, stone, silk and bamboo is heard at four o'clock, and it resounds on the top of the mountain. There is also a spiritual cave in the mountain, and there is often a candle shining in front of the cave. The fragrance is fragrant, and the spring stone is bright. There is a medicine picker into it, walking ten miles, the sky is clear and the sun is shining, the flowers are fragrant and the willows are dark, the Danlou Qiongyu, and the palace view is abnormal. It is to see all the fairies, beautiful and icy, and the beauty is different from the world. They came to invite the herb pickers to drink the elixir of gold; And the herb picker was introduced into the Yao room, and the music of the flute pipe was played, and the herb picker was ordered to return home, and the Dan liquor was given as a souvenir of farewell. That is, out of the cave, and to the old village. But when they saw that the people in the city were not neighbors of the old village, they only found the grandsons of the ninth generation, and when they asked, they said: "The distant ancestors went to Dongting Mountain to collect medicine and did not return it, and it has been three hundred years." ”

In this world, Qu Yuan saw the legendary miracle medicine. It radiates and exudes magical power. Just as Qu Yuan wanted to pick the elixir, a mysterious pharmacist appeared. He told Qu Yuan that the power of the magic medicine is not to satisfy human desires, but to ** the suffering of the world. Only by truly understanding the pain can we truly ** suffer. And the people who enter the spiritual cave are actually incarnated by souls. Those who die in pain will become immortals in the spiritual cave here.

Qu Yuan followed the advice of the pharmacist and returned to the human world. He wrote his experiences into a poem called "The Conjuring." This poem has been passed down through the ages and has become a treasure of Chinese literature. The legend of Yakushitan has become an eternal mystery in people's hearts, attracting generations of explorers to explore.
