The legend of Shuangheshan, the White Pagoda of Shuangheshan

Shuangheshan and archer There is a Shuangheshan in Agura Town in the south of Horqin Grassland. Although the mountain is not high, it looks like a boulder falling from the sky on the vast desert grassland. There is a touching story about the origin of this mountain.

According to legend, a long time ago, Gestler Khan led an army to pursue the demon Python Gus, who fled to the East. On this day, it fled to Agura, Horqin grassland, only to see smoke billowing behind it, killing people like hemp, which scared it out of her wits. On the verge of catching up, the cunning python Gus used his quick wits to turn himself into a rabbit hiding in the grass. The hounds in front of Gestler Hanma saw it and ran towards the hare, barking. Seeing that the situation was not good, Gus Python immediately turned into a titmouse and flew into the sky. At this moment, the falcon on Gestler Khan's shoulder opened its wings and pounced on it, grabbing the tit's throat with Gang Qian's claws. Python Gus showed his true colors and struggled hard, stabbing the sword into the falcon's chest and spilling blood on the grassland. But the falcon's claws still cling to it. It caught the python Gus, circled for more than a dozen times, and landed slowly on the grassland. Soon, where the falcon landed, a huge mountain rose from the ground. In memory of this brave falcon, Gestler Khan named the mountain "Shuanghe II" (Chinese for eagle).

Thousands of years have passed, and it has gradually prospered here. Mongolians have thrived at the foot of Shuanghe Mountain, forming countless small villages, and herders have lived a happy life.

One day, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty patrolled by. When he saw a high mountain standing on the endless grassland, he asked his entourage who they were. Back in Beijing, Emperor Kangxi had a dream. He dreamed that an eagle flew from the north, circled the palace three times, and then flew away. Emperor Kangxi was suspicious and fidgety for several days, and ordered Mr. Feng Shui to realize his dream. Mr. Feng Shui thought for a moment and said, "With all due respect, the emperor's dream is doomed to failure. The eagle, a hero, was born and threatened the country. I want to see for myself. " Mr. Feng Shui disguised himself as a herdsman and came to the foot of Shuanghe Mountain. Herdsmen told him that the name of this mountain is "Shuanghe", which is the eagle. When Mr. Feng Shui returned to Beijing, he immediately told Emperor Kangxi and said to him, "In my opinion, build a white tower on the mountain to stop this eagle from flying;" At the same time, in the direction of Eagle Head, fifteen Aobao were built one after another to stop evil spirits from the north. In this way, the emperor can rest easy. "Emperor Kangxi exultation, please Mr. Feng Shui to supervise this matter.

At the foot of Shuanghe Mountain lived two brothers, the elder brother named Uliji and the younger brother named Bater. These two brothers are famous hunters in this area because they are good at riding and shooting. People call them "big archers" and "little archers". When Mr. Feng Shui came to the foot of Shuanghe Mountain, he immediately called two brothers herders and read the imperial edict. Then threatened: "If you don't fix the Baita and Aobao, there will be a war here, and your good days will be all over!" Herdsmen talk about it in succession, and some agree.

In order to correct it, some people think it is wrong. Mr. Feng Shui bribed two brothers with silver again. The elder brother was very happy, but the younger brother disagreed, and the two brothers quarreled. Brother said: "When the grassland comes to golden phoenix, the herdsmen will be happy and auspicious;" White pagodas are built in Shuanghe Mountain, and the grassland is a peaceful scene. "The younger brother said," Jujube horses trudge thousands of miles on the grassland every day because there is no halter; "The White Tower is on the eagle, can we still be free?" Brother said: "Golden saddle jujube horse looks more handsome! It is rich and beautiful to build fifteen Aobao on the grassland. Brother, you are so confused! " The younger brother said: "colorful rainbows are rising in the blue sky, which is a beautiful symbol;" The moon is surrounded by colorful halos, which is the coming of disaster. Brother, you are so confused! " The two brothers were flushed, and neither would give in to the other. Stubborn brothers put forward the idea of comparing arrows, and whoever loses his hat when it is shot off by an arrow. Brother knows that brother won't give up. I think, for the sake of peace in the grassland, my brother is heartless, so I aim the arrow at my brother's heart. The younger brother also knew that his brother would not give in, thinking that he would be cruel for the freedom of the grassland people, so he also pointed the arrow at his brother's heart.

With a loud cry, two arrows were fired at the same time. Bang, Mars flew, and the two arrows collided and fell to the ground. The two brothers flew into a rage and shouted in unison, "Horses don't enter the flock, and well water doesn't interfere with the river. Even if we don't agree, then you go your way, I'll go my single-plank bridge, and we'll see! " My brother packed his bags and left without looking back. The elder brother looked at his younger brother's back, thinking that the stubborn younger brother would not stop there and let him die on the road. So he opened the door and let a male camel go. This head

Camels that have been chained in fences for many days are extremely fierce when they are released. It frothed at the mouth, held its head high, straightened its chest and ran angrily along the avenue.

My brother Bater was walking in the street when he heard a knock at the door behind him. He turned around and saw his big camel running. He understood, cruel brother, you are going to kill me! Flash quickly. The camel jumped at Bater with empty air. Bater flashed again, and the camel closed on empty air. Three times in a row, the big camel was too tired to get up on the ground. Bater walked over, grabbed the camel's head, twisted it a few times like hemp rope, and then stuffed the camel's head into the grass nest below it like a straw button. The big camel was suddenly out of breath.

My brother Uliji sat at home and waited, but the male camel didn't come back. He knew that his brother had great skills and must have failed. So he opened the door and let another red camel go. This is a snakehead camel. It is not as stupid as that big camel, and it breathes when it runs, but it is as quiet as a snake, with its head down. The red camel also runs along the avenue.

It's getting dark, and Bater is tired and tired, and his stomach is growling. Ignoring the cool breeze blowing behind him, he turned around and saw a red camel coming a few steps behind him, carrying the tide. It's too late to dodge. At this critical moment, a female camel appeared behind the roadside sand lump. The red camel left Bater and ran to the female camel. Bater surprised out in a cold sweat.

After Bater left, Wu and Feng Shui master led the herdsmen to build it day and night. Not long after, a white tower stood on Shuanghe Mountain, and fifteen Aobao were neatly lined up in front of the mountain. Mr. Feng Shui also took the opportunity to search for a large sum of money. Who knows, the next day.

The newly-built White Pagoda suddenly collapsed. Mr. Feng Shui and Wu were puzzled, so they built it day and night. However, it was just built the day before and turned into ruins the next day. In this way, after the White Pagoda was built for the fourth time, Uliji quietly hid behind the White Pagoda to see what happened. The night passed slowly, and just as the sky in the east was a fish-belly grey, Wu suddenly found that Bater was drawing a bow and arrow far away, aiming at the White Pagoda. He knew that the White Pagoda had collapsed three times, which was taken by Bater. At that moment, he quickly pulled out his bow and arrow and shot at Bater with a whoosh. Bater's arrow staggered down before it was shot.

Wu got on the fast horse and ran to his younger brother Bater. Bater stood up from a pool of blood, took a look at Wu, exhausted all his strength, once again drew the bow round, shot an arrow, and shot through fifteen Aobao at once. Then he took out an arrow and put it on the bow, ready to shoot at the White Tower. However, he didn't even have the strength to draw a bow and fell in a pool of blood. Bater said to Uliji before he died, "If you still care about brotherhood, bury me where the arrow falls, and my head will go where the arrow goes."

Bater died, and Wu's conscience was condemned when he saw his brother's horror before he died. According to his brother's will, he found the place where the arrow landed. The arrow pierced fifteen Aobao, but the arrow still pointed to the south, so I buried my brother's head south there. On that day, the herdsmen came to the funeral to help the old and the young, and they couldn't help crying. At this time, people were surprised to find that two water bubbles appeared in front of Shuanghe Mountain, and clear water waves could be seen shining under the gloomy sky from a distance. People say it was two tears shed by an eagle.

From then on, the eagle was strangled by the white tower, and the demon python Gus succeeded again. It uses magic to summon the wind and rain. Soon, the wind rolled up the yellow sand and swallowed up the grassland here, and Shuanghe Mountain was half buried by the yellow sand. So far, people can only see the lonely eagle head; Twenty miles to the west and half a mile to the east, there is a rock left, which is the two wings buried by sand. But the two water bubbles in front of the mountain still shed tears, reflecting the Shuanghe Mountain and the White Pagoda eroded by wind and rain.

In memory of Bater, people call the place where the big camel died "Xirigula" (meaning that Bater put the camel's head in the grass nest) and the place where the female camel appeared "Wu Lanying" (Chinese for female camel).
