Folk stories of Laoshan Mountain

A few years ago, a young white-faced scholar came to the Taiqing Palace in Laoshan. It is said that this student was originally from Hangzhou, and his family was well-off, because he had two hobbies since childhood, one was drinking tea, and the other was studying piano, chess, calligraphy and painting extensively, but he was careless about stereotyped writing.

So I tried again and again, disheartened. Finally, I left home with my piano and tea, traveled all the famous mountains and rivers in China, and searched all the friends who painted the piano all over the world. One day, when I came to the Taiqing Palace in Laoshan, I saw beautiful scenery and strange rocks and herbs.

The vast sea, the blue sky, the cool breeze in Xu Lai, the fragrance of flowers and the singing of birds have a pleasant feeling of being relaxed, forgetting all insults and detached from things. So I stayed in the temple, having a heart-to-heart talk with the Taoist priests in the temple or drinking tea or playing the piano in the morning and evening. I was so happy that I stayed here without thinking about it.

It is said that the third daughter of the Dragon King of the East China Sea came to the Taiqing Palace in Laoshan in one day's leisure time. It is like a fairy cave house and a strange mansion, which deeply attracted the little dragon girl who grew up in a lonely palace.

Walking on the tree-lined path, a breeze suddenly brought a gentle and elegant piano sound from the depths of the tree-lined mountain road. Following the sound of the piano, I came to the window of a Taoist house. But I saw a white-faced scholar playing the piano in the room, with a cup of hot tea on several cases in front of him.

In the rising hot air, the thick tea fragrance is refreshing. Close look at the white-flour scholar, I can smell Chun Xue, the tea is rich, and the little dragon girl is drunk. Indeed, they fell in love and married, and Laoshan became their home.

Traveling, drinking tea and playing the piano, staying together all day long, is enjoyable. But time flies, and months have passed in a blink of an eye. Suddenly one day, the little dragon girl saw the scholar with a sad face. After repeated inquiries, it turned out that the tea brought by the Hangzhou scholar was gone.

There is no tea in Laoshan Mountain, which cut off the source of this hobby, making the scholar listless and uneasy all day, which means returning to his hometown. Hearing this, the little dragon girl turned out to be like this.

Laughing at the scholar, he said, "Xianggong, Laoshan Mountain is a sacred mountain on earth. No matter whether it is Jiangnan or Saibei, as long as it exists in the world, there is Laoshan Mountain, let alone a tea tree. There is a magical tea under the giant peak of Laoshan Mountain and at the height of Gaobi Mountain.

I'll go with you to pick it up tomorrow. Won't there be tea? "Say that finish, the little dragon girl picked a beaded hair clasp from her head and brushed it away, only to see it swaying in the wind and flying to Goby.

The next day, when the scholar and the little dragon girl came to the valley, they found several green tea trees growing in the crevices at the top of the valley. Since then, the scholar and the little dragon girl have lived and worked in Laoshan for a long time.

2. The Legend of Erlong Mountain

One year, there was a big mound near the dam of Erlongshan Reservoir. People planted cabbage on it for a year. There are two winding ridges at both ends of the reservoir dam. Trees are lush and covered with steep rocks, which is called "two dragons playing with pearls".

According to legend, a long time ago, floods often occurred in this area, causing people to be displaced. One year, heavy rain and flooding caused houses and fields on both sides of the strait to become Wang Yang.

This terrible sight was seen by two earth dragons swimming in the sky. After discussion, they want to use their bodies to stop the flood in the valley and save mankind from extinction. However, because they acted privately and violated the dogma, the Jade Emperor ordered the heavenly soldiers to come down and slay them.

When they were only more than 600 steps away from meeting, the heavenly soldiers arrived and killed them. The bodies of two earth dragons turned into two winding mountains, and the blood turned into a pile.

3. The Legend of the Stone Old Man

Lao Ishihara was a hardworking and kind fisherman who lived at the foot of Laoshan Mountain, and lived with his smart and beautiful daughter. Unexpectedly, one day, my daughter was robbed into the Dragon Palace by the Dragon King, and the poor old man called by the sea day and night, eager to see it, regardless of the sea.

Looking forward to the white sideburns, hunched back, still waiting for you by the sea. Later, when the old man sat in the water and leaned against his chin, the Dragon King used magic to turn the old man's body into a stone. After learning the news of her father, the girl was in great pain and rushed out of the Dragon Palace.

Run to my father who turned to stone. The flowers she planted on her head were blown to the island by the sea breeze to take root and sprout, so that Nagato Rock and Daguan Island were full of wild winter-resistant flowers.

When the girl approached Laoshan Mountain, the Dragon King used magic to turn the girl into a huge reef and put it on the sea alone. Since then, father and daughter can only face each other across the sea, and they can never be together. Later, people called this huge reef "Daughter Reef".

4. The Legend of Yangkou Xiantao Stone

Legend has it that when the Monkey King defeated the heavenly generals in Huaguoshan, he was recruited by the Jade Emperor as the "Great Sage of Qitian", specializing in Taoyuan. After a day's leisure, I visited the Flat Peach Garden and saw that the peaches in the garden were covered with branches, which made Wukong scratch his ears and lick his mouth.

Hurriedly asked the land to ask, only to know that the front garden Xiantao cooked once every three thousand years can prolong life by ten thousand years; The Central Plains cooked once in 5,000 years, and after eating it, it can rank among the immortals. The backyard is cooked once every ten thousand years, and eating it can win glory with the sun and the moon.

Wukong was overjoyed. He flew to the back garden and saw the tall and majestic peach trees in the garden covered with peaches the size of red watermelons. Wukong immediately started eating, regardless of the willy-nilly.

In a short time, the garden was swept away, and Wukong, who was full of food and drink, stretched himself and became an inch-long villain lying on the leaves, sleeping soundly. At this time, the seven fairies were ordered by the Queen Mother to pick peaches in the garden and organize the Flat Peach Festival.

When I saw that there were no signs of ripe peaches and big peaches in the garden, I was shocked and talked about it. Wukong was lying fast asleep on a leaf when he was suddenly awakened by a noise. Wukong showed his true colors and shouted, "Who is making trouble here?" !

The seven fairies pointed to the flat peach to explain why. Wukong quickly asked, "Will Pan Tao invite me?" The seven fairies laughed: "Little Bi Marvin is also wishful thinking to attend the flat peach banquet"!

When Wukong was angry, evil rose from his heart to the edge of bravery. He stopped the seven fairies and a somersault cloud flew to the flat peach club. Wukong's belly is a dry belly, which can swallow the sky and eat rice.

He not only stole the flat peach from the Queen Mother, but also swept away the delicacies at the flat peach party. After eating and drinking enough, I was still not satisfied, so I brought the cloth bag of Taishang Laojun Elixir.

Put all the remaining peaches in the flat peach garden, big and small, hit them and leave! Take it back to Guo Huashan to satisfy the desire of monkeys and grandchildren and prolong their life. I don't want to be bitten by a vole in the lower corner of Laojun's cloth bag.

When the Monkey King was walking in the Yangkou Scenic Area of Laoshan Mountain, a smallest peach fell from a small hole and happened to land here 49 days later. After another 108,000 years of struggle, the stars have changed and become what we see today.

5. The legend of sheep's mouth and stone

One day, Frye came back from the firewood pile, opened the lid and found that the meal was ready. He scooped several bowls of rice soup for the lamb, and it was cold, thinking, which aunt cooked it for me? I have to thank people.

Every day for four or five days. Although I asked several families, they all said they didn't help him cook. Frye held his rice bowl and coughed and said, "My aunt helped me cook. I am embarrassed to say that I want to have a cook and I don't have to be difficult for others! "

The next day, Frye pretended to go up the mountain to get firewood. When it was almost time to cook, he hid out of the window and peeped into the house. Soon, he saw the lamb rolling on the kang in the back room and turned into a big girl as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade, so he went to the outhouse to wash the pot and cook rice.

There is a white sheepskin on the kang. Frye was pleasantly surprised when he saw it. Ah, so Bai Yang gave me his daughter! He secretly pulled the sheepskin out of the window, put it on his body and said, "Open the door, it's really cold outside!" " "

When the lamb heard the knock at the door, he ran into the back room, but he couldn't find the sheepskin. He is so anxious that he doesn't know what to do. When he heard Frye stomping his feet outside the door, the lamb was in pain and panic, so he opened the door shyly.

When Frye came in, he said with a smile, "Sister, why don't you keep it from me? I know you have this fur coat, lend it to me as firewood, and I won't have to catch cold. " The girl bowed her head in shame and said, "You are wearing my fur coat, but I can't change it back."

Frye blushed and said shyly, "Sister, don't change any more. If you think I am not poor, stay here with me! " The girl looked at Frye, giggling and nodded shyly.

Frye and his daughter became relatives. You respect me, love me and live a happy life. Because the whereabouts of the three-legged wolf is unknown, the old sheep is afraid that it will retaliate again. It looks on the mountain every day, and it turns to stone after a long time. Until now, it is still lying on the mountain outside the south gate of Taiping Palace with its tongue outstretched. People call it "sheep stone".
