Legend has it that one day, the Jigong monk of Lingyin Temple had a whim and knew that there was a mountain peak in the distance. At that time, there was a village in front of Lingyin Temple. Jigong was afraid that the flying peaks would crush people, so he rushed into the village to persuade everyone to leave quickly. Because people in the village are used to seeing Jigong playing tricks on people, and think that this time is for everyone to have fun, no one listens to him. Seeing that the mountain peak was about to fly, Jigong was in a hurry and rushed into a bride's house, picked up the bride who was meeting the bride and ran away. When the villagers saw the monk robbing the bride, they all shouted and chased him out. People were chasing, when suddenly they heard the wind whistling, the sky was dark and there was a "rumbling" sound. A mountain peak flew down in front of Lingyin Temple and overwhelmed the whole village. At this time, people realized that Jigong robbed the bride to save everyone.
After Jigong became a Buddha, his honorific title was as long as 28 words: "Great kindness, great compassion and great wisdom, purple and gold arhat, venerable person, making great efforts to treat ancestors and benefit ancestors, and praising Buddha three times", which was a combination of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism and was extremely deified.

sansei stone
Legend has it that there is a road called "Huang Quan Road" and a river called "Forgetting River". There is a "Naihe Bridge" on the Forgotten River. At the end of the bridge, there is a bright red stone called "Sansheng Stone". It is said that sentient men and women, as long as their names are engraved on this "sansheng stone", can "have three lives in life" and all three are born. Mengpo soup is made of forgotten river water.
Legend has it that the legend of Sanshengshi represents "the later generations of past lives". In the Tang Dynasty, a monk named Yuan Ze and Ethan became friends. One day, they went to Emei together, and there were two ways to go. Yuan Ze wanted to go one way, Li Yuan wanted to go another, and finally they followed Ethan. On the way, I met a pregnant woman with a big belly. Yuan Ze's face changed and she said, That's why I insist on not going this way. She has been pregnant with me for three years, and I can't hide it from her when I meet her today. When you go to see the baby later, I will prove it with a smile. If 12 years, we are destined to meet outside Qiantang Tianzhu Temple. Say that finish, the woman gave birth. When Ethan looked over, the baby really smiled at him.
Twelve years later, Ethan arrived as promised. It was a moonlit night when he suddenly heard a shepherd boy sing, "Old ghost on the Sansheng Stone, don't talk about watching the wind and singing the moon. Shy lovers come from afar, although the opposite sex always exists. "
Knowing that it was Yuan Ze, Li Yuan wanted to get close to him, but the shepherd boy sang another sentence: "There is nothing behind me, and it will break my heart to talk." I have searched all the mountains and rivers in wuyue, but I have returned to the smoke and the Tang Dynasty. "After singing, I disappeared.
"Just because there is a crimson pearl fairy grass next to the Sansheng stone on the Xiling River, sometimes there is a waiter in the Red Defect Palace who irrigates it with manna every day."
Kangxi inscription tablet
Emperor Kangxi, pretending to be romantic and elegant, came to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou to play tricks, and the old monk asked him to write a plaque for the temple. Kangxi wrote the word "rain" on a piece of paper, but the word "spirit" in Lingyin Temple was written in the old way, and there were three mouths and a witch under the word "rain", so many strokes could not be put down, and the emperor was really anxious to step down. Fortunately, at the prompt of a waiter, he made a mistake and wrote "Yunlin Temple". This plaque has been hung for 300 years until now, but the people don't buy it and still call it Lingyin Temple. Kangxi's jokes about inscriptions have also been passed down to this day.
