"The Yanguan Sea Temple is resplendent and magnificent, with Wu Zixu, the tide god, sitting above it, and all the men and women of the vulgar people worship devoutly, praying for Prince Wu to protect the city and the border." There are many legends about the tides in Haining in the past dynasties, and the statement of Wu Zixu, the tide god, is well known in Haining and widely circulated.
It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was defeated by Fu Cha, the king of Wu, so he sent Wen Zi to make peace and expressed his willingness to go to the State of Wu as a vassal. This plan deceived Fu Cha, but it was not from a surname Wu Zixu. He insisted on killing Gou Jian and opposed surrender. After that, Wu Zixu collided with Fu Cha, the prince of Wu, so that Fu Cha could not step down for a while. In anger, he gave Wu Zixu a sword of "belonging to the carving" on the spot for the crime of "deceiving the monarch" and ordered him to commit suicide. And threw the bodies of the soldiers into the Qiantang River. The common people were indignant at this. In order to support Wu Zixu, they burned incense on the seawall to commemorate him.
Wu Zixu has gained the support of ordinary people and gained strength all over. Suddenly, I saw his body spit a mouthful of resentment into the air, and then I rose up in resentment and drove the water to tide. I saw the waves suddenly rolling in the Qiantang River, overwhelming from east to west, like Ma Benteng, unstoppable. Fu Cha, the prince of Wu, fled back to Gusutai. People clapped their hands and cheered when they saw it. They called Wu Zixu "Tide God" and the common name was "Tide King".
Besides, the Qiantang River was originally controlled by the Dragon King of the East China Sea. He was a loner and endangered the people. Now, on the way, a Cheng Yaojin comes out again, and an extra "King of Tides" competes with him, making the Qiantang River very dark and the Crystal Palace wobbly, which is really unspeakable.
This year, during the tide-watching festival on August 18th of the lunar calendar, the Sea Dragon King finally couldn't resist his anger, so he encouraged his subordinates to fight the martial arts and drive away the "tide king". So the dark clouds rolled over the Qiantang River, the tides roared, the swords and shadows were on the river, and a bloody battle began. Wu Zixu is a famous soldier who led the troops. Now, with the great power of "Tide King", the Sea Dragon King is no match for him. After three or four rounds of fighting, the sea dragon king could not stand it and was defeated.
the sea dragon king was very depressed, but he thought that if he could not defeat others, it would be best for a hero not to suffer immediate losses. From then on, he moved out of the Crystal Palace and built nine Longwang temples on the land along the river to rest in peace for the time being. Prepare to wait until the time is ripe, and then go back to your hometown to settle accounts with Wu Yuan.
I didn't know that Wu Zixu was well versed in the art of war, and that your Sea Dragon King had adopted the strategy of "retreating for advancing", so he also built nine sea temples between the Dragon King temples, which were guarded day and night, making it difficult for you to stretch out and have a home.
Many years have passed, and this water area is controlled by Wu Zixu. From the sea dragon king came the business plan of the turtle prime minister. Prime Minister Turtle wagged his tail and said with confidence, "Please calm down, Your Majesty, the evil deeds are so fierce, let's have one ..." He whispered in the Dragon King's ear and burst out laughing.
Hearing Prime Minister Turtle's plan, the Hailong King immediately gave Qian Liu, King of Wu Yue, a dream, said many bad things about Wu Zixu, and told him to shoot arrows at the tide-watching festival to force the soldiers to retreat. Qian Liu woke up from a dream and thought it made sense. At 3: noon on August 18th of the lunar calendar, he sent 1, archers with thousands of arrows, which caught Wu Zixu off guard and forced him to withdraw temporarily.
However, the plot of the Sea Dragon King was immediately exposed by Wu Yuan, and he was angry from the heart. On the second day of September, Wu Yuan took advantage of it unprepared, and the tide surged and the sea rushed to the Dragon King temples. Soon, there was no golden hill in the Longwang Temple, and the clay sculpture of the Dragon King and Bodhisattva was submerged in the water and turned into a pile of mud. Interestingly, all the sea temples and common people's houses and fields that are close at hand are safe and sound. Since then, there has been a saying that "the water rushed to the Longwang Temple".
