In the romance commentary, Li Shan's mother is a fairy with great powers, and she accepted Zhong Wuyan, Fan Lihua, Liu Jinding, Mu Guiying, Bai Suzhen and other famous female disciples.
If you want to say that there are more fairies than Li Shan's mother? There is really one, that is, the Nine Heavens Xuannu, in the romance novels of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Nine Heavens Xuannu appeared more times than any other.
In those countless appearances, the Nine Heavens Xuannu did not accept disciples like Li Shan's mother, she most of the time she gave treasures to teach the Book of Heaven. For example, the following ten characters have been gifted by the Nine Heavens Xuannu to pass on their arts:
The Yellow Emperor
In various romance novels and legends, the Nine Heavens Xuannu is the teacher of the Yellow Emperor and taught him the Book of Heaven and immortal arts.
In the novel "The Secret History of Antiquity" written by Zhong Yulong, the last imperial examiner of the Qing Dynasty, there are legends related to the Nine Heavenly Xuannu and the Yellow Emperor.
In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou were at war. Chiyou has eighty-one brothers, all of whom are copper-headed, iron-fronted stones, and are armed with weapons made of red gold, and can also call the wind and rain and defeat the Yellow Emperor several times. Under the defeat of the Yellow Emperor, there was no way to break the enemy, so he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. When the Queen Mother of the West heard the exclamation of the Yellow Emperor, she sent the Nine Heavens Xuannu and the Sunu Nether to help.
After arriving in the Nether Realm, Xuannu taught the Yellow Emperor all kinds of wonderful military skills. Then, after analyzing the advantages of Chiyou's side, Xuannu made a guide car and a drum in the book to break the clouds and mist raised by Chiyou, and then went to Liubo Mountain to catch Kui Niu to make eighty-sided drums, and went to Lei Ze to take the bones of thunder beasts as drumsticks and so on. It is precisely because of this that the Yellow Emperor broke Chiyou.
In addition, Xuannu also presented the Yellow Emperor with a detailed picture of the victory of the Yin and Yang of Liujia, which is a mysterious treasure.
"The Legend of the Three Suiping Demons" white ape
Mr. Jin Yong has a martial arts novel called "The Sword of the Yue Woman", and the protagonist is the Yue Girl A Qing, who is a mysterious swordsman.
Ah Qing was originally a shepherdess, and when she was shepherding sheep, she learned good swordsmanship by fighting with the white ape, and once swept away a thousand armor soldiers and a thousand swordsmen in the Yue Kingdom with a bamboo stick. However, Yue Nu A Qing is not original in "Yue Nu Sword", she is based on the "Zhao Maiden", the head of the thirty-three swordsmen of Yue Kingdom.
In classical novels, Yue Nu and White Ape also make many appearances. Luo Guanzhong began to write Feng Menglong's "The Legend of the Three Suiping Demons", which was the matter of Yue Nu and the White Ape.
At that time, Wu and Yue competed for hegemony, and Goujian, the king of Yue, was defeated, and only returned to Yue after being a slave in Wu for three years. Gou Jian tried the courage to take revenge, but he was worried that Wu had three thousand swordsmen holding fish intestine swords. Fan Li suggested that six thousand gentlemen be selected for training, and then hire Zhao virgin, who was proficient in swordsmanship, to teach swordsmanship to the national teacher, and Wu would be defeated. Gou Jian felt justified and asked Fan Li to select six thousand elites, and then send someone to Nanshan to invite Zhao Virgin to go down the mountain to pass the sword.
When Zhao was halfway through, she encountered a person who claimed to be Yuan Gong blocking the way and wanted to test her swordsmanship. Yuan Gong pulled out a bamboo pole and broke it into two in the air, he reached out to catch the bamboo root, took the lead and stabbed it out in his hand. Zhao Maiden went to pick up Zhu Xiao, although she received it later, but she turned around and stabbed Yuan Gong. Yuan Gong was shocked, jumped on the bamboo tops and turned into a white ape.
This person and ape are not simple, and each has its own origin. Zhao virgin is the Nine Heavens Xuannu descended to earth, was ordered to help Yue destroy Wu, for the Yue country trained 6,000 proficient swordsmanship of the gentleman army to destroy the Wu country; the white ape was originally the Chu State to achieve the Tao of the white ape, once connected to the Chu Gong King eighteen arrows, the Chu Gong King was furious, sent someone to call the archer Yang Yuji, the white ape then fled to Yunmeng Mountain to cultivate. At this time, the white ape also knew that Xuannu was descending to earth, so he competed with her to see his strength.
After the Xuannu came back from the Yue Kingdom, the white ape offered dried fruits and asked her to apprentice. Xuannu saw that the white ape was sincere, so she accepted it as an apprentice and taught it two projectiles. Later, the white ape trained the two projectiles into male and female double swords, which can stretch and contract, and the changes are endless, as if he became a sword fairy.
In other commentaries in later generations, there were also white apes appearing, and Sun Bin had a sworn brother in the Spring and Autumn Period of Fengjian, who was the white ape who lived in Yunmeng Mountain.
"Eight Immortals Get the Way" He Xiangu
"Eight Immortals Attain the Dao" is a novel written by the Emei Wujing Taoist in the Qing Dynasty, which tells the story of the eight immortals who cultivated and attained the Tao.
Although it is said at the beginning of the book that the immortals are originally made by people, the eight immortals all have their own origins. He Xiangu was originally the Sihua girl in front of the Jade Emperor's Palace, and because she joked with the Si Xiangren at the longevity banquet, both of them were punished for falling into reincarnation for the tenth life.
In the last life, Si Hua Nu voted for the daughter of the family surnamed He at the foot of Jinshan, and her name was He Lanxian.
When He Lanxian was seven years old, the Nine Heavens Xuannu descended to earth and incarnated as a Taoist woman to guide her. Because He Lanxian did not forget the things of his previous life, and knew that the Xuannu was a true immortal, he humbly asked her for advice, and the Xuannu passed on the recipe of refining qi, cultivating the heart, guiding, and bigu, and passed on several self-defense spells such as stealth flying swords. After being taught by the Xuannu, He Lanxian has entered the Tao.
Later, Xuannu went down to earth to take He Xiangu as an apprentice, and passed on the Jade Void Secret, the Law of Change, the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique, and spells such as poking eye needles. He Lanxian's cultivation has progressed rapidly, and his cultivation is getting higher and higher.
It was under the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Xuannu that He Lanxian became He Xian Gu among the Eight Immortals in the Upper Cave.
"The Legend of the Eight Immortals" Mrs. Shangyuan
Mrs. Shangyuan is also a disciple of the Nine Heavens Xuannu and the senior sister of He Xiangu.
At the beginning, Taishang Laojun's green cow was in turmoil in the lower realm, and He Xiangu wanted to subdue its strength but was captured by it. The Nine Heavens Xuannu sent Mrs. Shangyuan to rescue her, and passed on her the method of eliminating demons, and then gave her a small but powerful iron sand to subdue the green ox. Later, Mrs. Shangyuan passed on many self-defense methods to He Xiangu, and gave her her the precious iron sand she refined.
Although Mrs. Shangyuan doesn't appear much, her strength is much stronger than He Xiangu.
"The Legend of Two Phoenixes" Wang Zhaojun
"The Legend of the Two Phoenixes", also known as "The Legend of Zhaojun", is a long novel written by the owner of Xueqiao in the Qing Dynasty, which is the story of Zhaojun, the king of the Western Han Dynasty.
Wang Zhaojun's name is his wife, the word Zhaojun, his milk name is Haoyue, he has the appearance of sinking fish and geese, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon. Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty dreamed of Zhaojun in a dream and asked for her name and residence. After waking up, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty hurriedly sent the traitor Mao Yanshou to Yuezhou to find Zhaojun and set her up as the mother of the West Palace.
Mao Yanshou was greedy, but after finding Wang Zhaojun, he asked for five hundred taels of silver. Zhaojun refused to give it and drew a picture of a beauty, but the resentful Mao Yanshou drew a black mole on the beauty picture, and also accepted a bribe from the Lu family and promised to make the daughter of the Dong family a concubine. In this way, under Mao Yanshou's operation, Miss Lu replaced Wang Zhaojun and became the mother of the West Palace, but Wang Zhaojun was designed by Concubine Lu to enter the cold palace.
It wasn't until a year later that Wang Zhaojun met Empress Lin of the Zhenggong Palace and told him about his grievances. Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was furious, abolished Concubine Lu and re-established Zhaojun as the West Palace, and sent someone to behead all Mao Yanshou's family. Mao Yanshou was so frightened that his soul flew away, crawled out of the dog hole with the beauty picture, and voted for Fanbang to present the beauty picture to the king of Fan. When King Fan saw that Zhaojun had a rare image of the underground in the sky, he was also fascinated by it, and sent troops to the Han Dynasty to ask for Zhaojun.
In several battles between the two countries, the Han Dynasty was defeated. In order to keep the country, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty had to ruthlessly abandon Zhaojun, let her go out of the fortress and Fan, and promised to send troops to pick her up. Zhaojun could only reluctantly agree, but he still did not want to live up to Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty and traveled to the north in a bleak and desolate manner.
When we reached the Heishui River, we were still halfway to Fanbang. When staying overnight at Jiugu Temple, Wang Zhaojun dreamed that the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang gave her a crane fairy robe, which could be worn on her body so that King Fan could not get close. Zhaojun thanked him, and after returning to the dynasty, he would inevitably let people return the fairy clothes. Xuannu said that she couldn't escape most of the numbers, and someone would come to collect the fairy clothes in the future. After Zhaojun woke up, there was indeed a fairy robe with thousands of rays of light beside him, and he wore it on his body.
This style of fairy clothes also appeared in "Journey to the West", Zhang Ziyang once gave Zhu Ziguo a fairy dress to the mother of the Golden Holy Palace. This fairy robe is like a stinger growing all over her body, and it hurts when she touches it, so she was taken captive by Sai Tai Sui for three years and kept her innocence.
The same is true of the fairy clothes that Xuannu gave to Wang Zhaojun, and when the king touches it, it is like touching a silver needle, and the ten fingers that were pierced are dripping with blood. Wang Zhaojun preserved his reputation in this way, and cleverly said that this was because he had not returned the wish at the beginning, and the god of Baiyang River set up a silver needle on her. King Fan stupidly believed it, and in order to repay Zhaojun's wishes, he spent sixteen years of hard work and spent the whole country to build a pontoon bridge on the Baiyang River.
Sixteen years later, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty did not send anyone to pick up Zhaojun, and King Fan once again asked to marry Zhaojun. Zhaojun put forward another condition for King Fan to send back Su Wu, who was shepherding sheep, and proposed to go to the Baiyang River pontoon bridge to burn incense and make a vow, but he jumped into the river.
Later, Zhaojun's corpse floated into the moat of the Western Han Imperial City, covered with flowers. Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty asked people to salvage, but his hands were full of blood. After Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty prayed, the birds flew away, and the Xuannu also took away the fairy clothes.
This immortal robe protected Zhaojun's innocence, but she didn't get any ability, and in the end, she couldn't reunite like the Golden Saint Palace Niangniang and the King of Zhu Ziguo.
"The Legend of Two Phoenixes" Wang Hire
Wang Ping is Wang Zhaojun's younger sister, nicknamed Sai Zhaojun.
When Wang Ping was a child, when he was visiting the back garden on a moonlit night, he met the Nine Heavens Xuannu who came to teach his art. At that time, due to the lack of heroes who could fight well in the Han Dynasty, Xuannu first taught Wang Ping eighteen kinds of weapons, and then taught various immortal methods and the art of arranging troops, and gave a few magic weapons.
After Zhaojun died, he reprimanded Emperor Yuan of Han for being ungrateful in his dream. Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was crying and crying by Zhaojun, but he still wanted to renew his relationship with Zhaojun and let her stay. Although Zhaojun angrily denounced Emperor Han Yuan as a faint monarch, he saw that he still wanted to continue his previous relationship, so he recommended his sister-in-law Sai Zhaojun for him. Therefore, Wang Ping, who was ten points better than Wang Zhaojun, was married into the palace by Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, and became the queen after the death of the queen.
Sai Zhaojun also does not forget his sister's revenge and is determined to avenge his sister. However, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was weak, and Sai Zhaojun's several proposals were rejected by him.
Later, King Fan sent troops to invade the territory again, and Sai Zhaojun persuaded Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty to drive a personal expedition. This time, Sai Zhaojun relied on his martial arts and immortal skills to smash the capital of Fanbang and force King Fan to surrender, which can be regarded as avenging the revenge of the year.
"Speaking of the Legend of the Tang Dynasty" Xue Rengui
"Speaking of the Legend of the Tang Dynasty" is the story of "Xue Rengui's Expedition to the East", which has the story of the Nine Heavens Xuannu giving away treasures.
At that time, Xue Rengui was still a firehead army, and he was ordered to explore the crypt on the way to the east. This crypt was opened by the Nine Heavens Xuannu for Xue Rengui, in order to help him conquer Eastern Liao.
Xue Rengui ate a dragon, nine cows and two tigers made of noodles in the crypt, and obtained the power of one dragon, nine cows and two tigers. With this kind of divine power, Xue Rengui could have pacified Eastern Liao in less than three years, but he mistakenly released the great enemy Qinglong in the crypt, and even if the divine power was suppressed, it was difficult to suppress.
The Nine Heavens Xuannu had no choice but to summon Xue Rengui again and explain the situation to him. Only then did Xue Rengui know that he had released the enemy, and hurriedly begged the Xuannu Niangniang to give him a treasure, so that he could pacify Dongliao. Xuannu gave Xue Rengui five treasures, one was the white tiger whip that specialized in beating the Qinglong Star Gai Suwen, the second was the waterproof fire robe, and then the sky-shaking bow and cloud-piercing arrow that broke the Gai Suwen willow leaf flying knife, and finally a wordless heavenly book. It was with these five treasures that Xue Rengui suppressed Gai Suwen to the death.
That's not all, the Nine Heavens Xuannu has also been secretly protecting Xue Rengui. When An Dianbao, the first fierce general in the eastern expedition, appeared, he was invincible to eight firehead troops by himself, but he was killed by the sick Xue Rengui's halberd, which can be described as brave. In fact, it was not Xue Rengui who was powerful, but the Xuannu asked the boy to stab An Dianbao to death with the tip of Xue Rengui's halberd.
Under the protection of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, Xue Rengui conquered Liaodong and was crowned the king of Liaodong for his merits.
"Water Margin" Song Jiang
In "Water Margin", the Nine Heavens Xuannu also appeared twice to help Song Jiang.
For the first time, Song Jiang was summoned by the Xuannu Temple in Huandao Village. This time, the Xuannu asked the boy to give Song Jiang three cups of immortal wine and three immortal dates, and taught him three volumes of the Book of Heaven, so that he could assist the country and the people for Tianxingdao. However, Song Jiang drank immortal wine and ate immortal dates, and he only learned a simple divination and return to wind and fire in the Book of Heaven, and he couldn't apply it flexibly.
When he conquered Liao, Song Jiang encountered Wu Yanguang's chaotic heavenly array and could not be broken. The Nine Heavens Xuannu summoned Song Jiang again, taught him the method of breaking the formation, and asked the boy in Tsing Yi to offer him a cup of tea.
It was precisely because of the help of the Xuannu Niangniang that the successful Song Jiang also rebuilt the temple of the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang. However, among the characters who help Xuannu, Song Jiang is indeed too weak, almost the same as Wang Zhaojun.
"Hou Water Margin" Yang Qi
"Later Water Margin" was created by the owner of the Qinglian Room in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and it continues the story of the Water Margin.
After Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others were killed, the Song Dynasty was still a traitorous minister who misled the country. Song Jiang and others were born again, and Song Jiang was transformed into Yang Mi. However, this time Yang Mi is different from Song Jiang, who was black and short at the beginning, but a big man who is eight feet tall and has three feet of bread, just like a strong man like Wu Song, a good man who fights tigers.
When Yang Mi was young, he also dreamed of a goddess in the temple of Liuyang Village. The goddess first asked the maid to give Yang Mi a cup of tea with red dates, and after he drank it, his muscles and bones swelled, and he had divine power. Then, the goddess asked the eighteen generals on both sides to teach Yang Mi various martial arts, and gave him a nine-foot-long stick. Therefore, Yang Mi has become a good man with stunts and loves to fight unevenly, known as "Chudi Xiaoyangchun".
Although it is not clear that the goddess is a Xuannu in the Later Water Margin, the phoenix crown dress Niangniang obviously corresponds to the Xuannu in the Water Margin.
"The History of the Female Fairy" Tang Sai'er
"The History of the Female Immortals" is a novel written by Lu Xiong in the Qing Dynasty, which is the story of Tang Sai'er's rebellion against Zhu Di, the king of Yan, in the early Ming Dynasty.
According to the book, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is the emperor of Sirius's nether realm. When Sirius was about to go to the nether realm, he sneaked into the Moon Palace to tease Chang'e and went directly to the nether realm. Chang'e was furious and went to the Jade Emperor to complain and recover Sirius. The Jade Emperor reprimanded Chang'e for being an ordinary person's opinion, and the Emperor Blessing of the Sirius Star that day was accumulated by himself, not by me, but after he ascended the throne, there was a catastrophe, and you could be the master. After all, the Jade Emperor also let Chang'e go to the lower realm, that is, Tang Sai'er.
How could Tang Sai'er and a commoner compete with Zhu Di? Nanhai Guanyin gave her seven volumes of the Book of Heaven and a box of swords, but this book was a whole piece of the book, and it took Xuannu Niangniang to open it. Later, Xuannu Niangniang opened the Book of Heaven in the lower realm and told Tang Sai'er about the seven volumes of the Book of Heaven. Tang Sai'er thus gained the Tao, and after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he raised troops to find Emperor Jianwen, and defeated Zhu Di's army many times.
These are the ten characters who have been gifted by the Nine Heavens Xuannu to pass on the art, and they also have a legend.
