Yulong and Jinfeng are two neighbors. Every morning, one goes out of the grottoes and the other flies out of the Woods. They always meet before they leave, and then go about their own business. One day, one of them flew in the sky, and the other swam in the Tianhe River, flying and swimming, and unconsciously came to a fairy island. They found a shiny stone on the island. Jinfeng liked it very much and said to Yulong, "Yulong Yulong, look how beautiful this stone is!" " "
Yulong also liked it very much, so he said to Jinfeng, "Jinfeng Jinfeng, let's polish it into beads!" " "
Jinfeng nodded in agreement and they started construction. Jade dragon planing, golden phoenix pecking. Day after day, year after year, they really turned this shiny stone into a round bead. Jinfeng happily flew to the fairy mountain, where there were many dewdrops dripping on the beads; Yulong swam to Tianhe happily, sucked a lot of clean water and sprayed it on the beads. Drop, spray, drop, spray ... slowly, this bead becomes bright and shiny.
Since then, Yulong likes Jinfeng, and Jinfeng also likes Yulong; Yulong and Jinfeng both like their pearls. Yulong doesn't want to go back to the grottoes in the east of Tianhe, and Jinfeng doesn't want to go back to the forest in the west of Tianhe. They live in Xiandao in the middle of Tianhe, guarding their pearls day and night.
This pearl is really a treasure. Where the pearl shines, the trees are evergreen, the flowers are in full bloom, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the grains are abundant.
On this day, the Queen Mother walked out of the palace gate, saw this bright pearl and fell in love with it. Late at night in Guang Chen, she sent heavenly soldiers to steal the pearl while Yulong and Jinfeng were asleep. The Queen Mother likes this pearl so much that she doesn't even dare to show it to others. She quickly hid in the fairy palace, closed the nine doors one by one and locked them nine times.
Yulong and Jinfeng woke up and found that the pearl was gone. How anxious they are! Yulong looked around and searched every grotto under the Tianhe River, but he couldn't find any. Jinfeng looked everywhere in fairy mountain, but she couldn't find it. They were very sad, but they searched everywhere day and night, hoping to find their beloved pearl.
On the birthday of the Queen Mother, immortals from all directions rushed to the Fairy Palace to celebrate her birthday. The heavenly queen held a grand "flat peach party", and some immortals were in the guest house. The immortals drank wine and ate flat peaches, and congratulated the queen mother in unison: "Happiness is like the East China Sea, and life is longer than Nanshan." Seeing this scene, the Queen Mother was happy for a while and said to all the immortals, "Dear immortals, I invite you to see a precious pearl. It' s really a treasure that is hard to find in heaven and earth! "
With that, she took nine keys from her belt, unlocked nine locks, walked into nine doors, took out pearls from the fairy palace, put them in a gold plate and held them in the middle of the hall. This pearl is really shiny, and the gods are full of praise when they see it.
At this time, Yulong and Jinfeng are looking for their pearls everywhere. Jinfeng suddenly found the milli-light from the pearl. She quickly called Yulong: "Yulong Yulong, come and see, isn't that the milli-light from our pearl?"
Yulong poked his head out of the Tianhe River, looked at it and said, "Yes, this must be our pearl. Go and get it back! " "
Yulong and Jinfeng immediately followed the pearl's light until they found the fairy palace of the Queen Mother, where the immortals were clapping their heads around the pearl. Yulong stepped forward and said, "This pearl is ours!" Jinfeng went on to say, "This pearl is ours!"
As soon as the queen mother heard the fire, she opened her mouth and scolded Yulong and Jinfeng: "Nonsense, I am the mother of the jade emperor, and all the treasures in the sky should be mine!"
Hearing this, Yulong and Jinfeng said to the Queen Mother together, "This pearl didn't fall from the sky or grow underground, but we earned it day after day and year after year!"
The heavenly queen was ashamed and annoyed when she heard this. She stretched out her hand to protect the golden plate with pearls and shouted that the heavenly soldiers would quickly drive Yulong and Jinfeng out. Jinfeng saw that the queen mother was unreasonable and rushed to grab pearls; Yulong saw that the queen mother was unreasonable and hurried to grab pearls. With three hands holding a gold plate, no one will relax. You give me a hand, and when the gold plate flashes, the pearls roll down, roll to the edge of the steps, and fall from the sky to the ground.
Yulong and Jinfeng saw that the pearl had fallen and were afraid of breaking it, so they quickly turned over to protect it. Jade Dragon Flying, golden phoenix Dance. They are in front, behind, left and right, protecting this pearl and slowly descending from the sky to the ground. As soon as this pearl landed, it immediately turned into a glittering and translucent West Lake. Yulong didn't want to leave its pearl, so it turned into a majestic Yulong Mountain to protect it. Jinfeng was reluctant to leave her pearl, so she turned into a green Phoenix Mountain to protect it.
Since then, Phoenix Mountain and Yulong Mountain have quietly fallen beside the West Lake. Until now, there are still two ancient ballads circulating in Hangzhou:
"The Pearl of the West Lake descended from the sky, and the dragon and phoenix danced to Qiantang."
