1. In ancient times, the twenty-third daughter of the Queen Mother of Xitian lived in Yaochi Palace, named Yao Ji. In Ziqing Palace, she learned the ever-changing magic from Sanyuan Immortal Lord, and was named Mrs. Yunhua, specializing in teaching fairy boys and girls.
Yao Ji is active by nature and can endure the lonely life in the fairy palace. One day, she finally quietly left the Immortal Palace with her followers and traveled around the East China Sea. However, when she saw the stormy waves of the sea causing serious disasters to the world, she went out to the East China Sea and flew to the west. Along the way, the fairies flew over thousands of peaks and ridges, enjoying all the wonderful sights in the world. They were so happy. Unexpectedly, when they came to the cloudy and rainy Wushan Mountain, they saw twelve dragons making trouble and harming the people. Yao Ji was furious, and she was determined to eliminate dragons and eliminate disasters in the world. So, I pressed the cloud head and pointed lightly with my hand, but I heard thunder rolling and the ground shook.
When the weather calmed down, the corpses of the twelve dragons had turned into twelve mountains, blocking the Wu Gorge and the Yangtze River, causing the surging river water to overflow into the countryside and city walls. Today's Sichuan area It turned into a vast ocean.
In order to control the flood, the flood control hero Xia Yu immediately came to the Yangtze River from the Yellow River. However, the mountains are so high and the water is so urgent that it is not easy to use the method of opening mountains and draining water. Just when Xia Yu was extremely anxious, Yao Ji was moved by Xia Yu's indomitable spirit, so she summoned six courtiers including Huang Mo and Tong Jin to use magic to help Xia Yu divert the Three Gorges waterway and let the flood flow smoothly to the East China Sea.
Xia Yu learned that the goddess was secretly helping him, so he climbed up Wushan Mountain to find Yao Ji to express his gratitude. When I got up the mountain, I saw a tall and graceful bluestone in front of me. After a while, the bluestone turned into a wisp of blue smoke and curled up. Then it formed a cloud of green clouds, drizzle, and flying dragons, colorful phoenixes, and white cranes. Among the mountains and valleys... Xia Yu was wondering when the beautiful Yao Ji suddenly appeared in front of him. Yao Ji said: "You have merit in controlling floods, but you also need to understand the principles of changes in things in the world." As she said this, she took out a yellow silk scroll used to control floods and gave it to Xia Yu. Although the flood has been cured, Yao Ji has not left. She still stands on the top of Wushan Mountain, guiding ships to navigate, driving away tigers and leopards for the people, sowing clouds to sow rain for the world, and breeding Ganoderma lucidum for curing diseases. Year after year, she forgot about the West and herself, and finally turned into the coveted goddess peak; her followers also turned into peaks, like barriers, each guard, quietly Stand quietly beside the goddess.
The legend of Goddess Peak is widely circulated in the Wushan area, and there are different versions. In ancient times, in order to commemorate the "goddess" in their minds, the people of Wushan respectfully called her "Miaoyong Zhenren". She built a Ningzhen Temple (i.e. Goddess Temple). A platform on the mountainside was the teaching platform where the goddess taught Xia Yu.
2. The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River: Regarding legends about peach blossom fish, there is also such a legend: It is said that before the Han Dynasty, there were no peach blossom fish here. Before Zhaojun of the Han Dynasty came out of the fortress, he tearfully boarded the boat to bid farewell to the fellow villagers who were seeing him off. . Suddenly, peach blossoms were flying all over the sky, and the petals were floating into the Xiangxi River. Zhaojun played the pipa, and the music sounded like weeping. Her tears, accompanied by the melodious music of the piano, were sprinkled on the peach blossom petals in the river, and they suddenly turned into countless beautiful peach blossom fish. From then on, whenever the peach blossoms were in full bloom, peach blossom fish would arrive at the right time.
"The flowers are blooming and fish are blooming in the stream, and the fish are playing in the shadows of the flowers. Fishing people under the flowers should not be like the fragrance of peach blossoms." This is the description of peach blossom fish by a poet in the Qing Dynasty. The peach blossom fish is headless and tailless, soft and transparent, like a copper coin. The circle is also covered with fine and colorful silver threads of different lengths, which is very similar to the bangs on a girl's forehead. These little lives come out to swim every time the peach flood comes, and when the peach blossoms fade, they also disappear.
3. The legend of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River
In ancient times, in the Qingjian Cave outside Mount Xumi, there lived two twin dragons, green and yellow. They hated evil and often fought with those who did evil in the world. "Monster" battle on the coast of the East China Sea.
One year, there was a severe drought in the world, and the mountains and gods came to the heavens one after another. The Tathagata Buddha knew that the two dragons were well versed in the ways of the world, so he sent the green and yellow dragons to the world.
Soon, the Green and Yellow Dragons found out that it was the two demons "Sprites" who were causing trouble in the human world again. They caused the devil's sons and grandsons to scatter into the human world and set fires everywhere. It also uses magic power to hide a "fire" in everyone's heart, do evil to each other, and disturb the peaceful world of the world, so many people worship it and follow it.
The two green and yellow dragons are determined to eliminate demons for mankind and restore the right path in the world. They disguised themselves as two monks and used the name of curing diseases to remove people's evil thoughts and illnesses.
Due to being poisoned by "monsters", people at that time generally suffered from a disease called "nightmare". Only by plotting against others or doing things that harmed others and benefited oneself could this disease be temporarily relieved. bring pain. The green and yellow dragons, disguised as monks, asked people to take some cinnabar, pearls, sea baths, etc., and taught them to recite a mantra to expel "disaster fire". After this treatment, many people recovered their good health and relieved their pain. It spread to ten and hundreds, and people rushed to tell each other. Three months later, tens of thousands of people followed this method and lived a normal life. People also spread rumors that two living gods had arrived.
The "sprites" living on the coast of the East China Sea heard that someone had broken their spell, so they sent two of their best men, the crocodile spirit and the toad spirit, to find out the truth.
The toad spirit was full of evil and scheming. It persuaded the simple-minded and fierce crocodile spirit to disguise itself as two patients who came for treatment, and mixed with a group of people to the place where the monk lived. The Toad Spirit, who has practiced Taoism for thousands of years, looked from a distance. Under the shade of a tree, two monks' heads emitted green and yellow lights, which went straight to Taixu. Knowing that the other party had a good background, he hatched a plan. He told the Crocodile Spirit that they were two Don't worry about the little furry gods. Let the crocodile spirit sit there and rest. It can catch the two little furry gods by itself and bring them back to meet its master. When the crocodile spirit heard this, he was furious. Didn't you, the toad spirit, pick up this bargain alone? Then the original god appeared, opened his big mouth like a guillotine and rushed towards the two monks.
The two monks had known that two goblins were coming, so they remained calm. Seeing the crocodile spirit suddenly appear, the original spirit rushed towards them. One of them shot a dragon ball the size of a marble in his hand and aimed it at the crocodile spirit. , knocking it to the ground in just one blow. The crocodile spirit saw something bad and was about to turn over and run away. The other monk turned his hand and grabbed it until its brains exploded. But the toad spirit took this opportunity to ride a gust of wind and hurried back to the coast of the East China Sea, telling the "monster" that they were the two green and yellow dragons.
The "Monster" was furious and personally ordered 50,000 demon soldiers to come to challenge. The Green and Yellow Dragons ordered all the healed people to hide and never come out, so they set up formations in the clouds and Fight against "Sprites" in the air. The green and yellow dragons each used their magic power to fight the demon soldiers for seven days and seven nights. Seeing that their magic soldiers were getting fewer and fewer, the two demons "Sprite" were unwilling to fail, so they came up with a vicious idea. Each of the two demons "Sprite" used magic to recruit all the people who followed them desperately, and controlled them by themselves. Two long snake formations are lined up in the north and south. From a distance, the demonic mist is lingering, like two rolling fire-breathing dragons entrenched on the earth, slowly squeezing toward the middle. Everything in its path is scorched earth, killing the two green and yellow dragons and those who escape its control. Destroy them together.
The green and yellow dragons have been fighting the demon soldiers for several days and nights, and are exhausted. When they see the "monster" trying to destroy the people they rescued, they are determined to protect them. So regardless of their safety, they turned into two cold rivers of green and yellow, and went towards the two fire dragons respectively. When they came into contact with the "Fire Dragons", the people and demons who were determined to stand on the ground were swept into the river by the huge whirlpool. After another three days and three nights, the two "Fire Dragons" were finally driven out more than a thousand miles away. Their huge bodies gradually pressed the "Fire Dragon" under their bodies. Finally, the two dragons lost their vitality and gradually embedded themselves underground, forming the current Yangtze River and Yellow River.
To this day, the descendants of Yan and Huang on both sides of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River still rely on the two great rivers for their nourishment and reproduction.
