The story of Heluo: Jiaying saw a "small court"

According to legend, in the southern foothills of Taihang Mountain and the territory of Mongolia, Wen and Wu on the northern bank of the Yellow River, there is a loess mausoleum belt, which is intermittent and winding, and people call it Qingfeng. It is an earth dragon, which crosses the Yellow River from the Huangdi Mausoleum in Shaanxi to the east, and gradually takes shape where there is no rock. Starting from other villages in Chengzi, Cao Ting, Fangling and Wuzhi County, the Qinhe River has plunged for thousands of miles, and the water rises everywhere it passes. After that, I went east to the present location of Jiayingguan. This place is surrounded by purple and colorful clouds, showing the image of a real dragon emperor.

When the news reached Beijing, Yong Zhengdi sent an imperial envoy to make an unannounced visit. An imperial envoy found a good omen and immediately reported it to Yongzheng. Yong Zhengdi, who was worried about the flood of the Yellow River, was very alert after receiving the letter, and immediately ordered the construction of Longwang Temple to stop this feng shui.

Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, a long earth mountain suddenly grew on Qingfeng Ridge, with a huge eastern end, and two symmetrical willow trees bent northeast. At the easternmost end, two identical round stone balls appeared on both sides of a protruding rectangular ridge, which were not far apart and symmetrical. Large and small cement balls on the mound are fan-shaped, touching the ground in the east and tilting up in the west. I don't know when there will be several small mounds on the north and south sides at the same time, which are connected with the mounds. From a distance, it looks like a Wolong crawling from southwest to northeast. People are curious and eager to watch.

At that time, there was no Yellow River levee or temple palace in Jiayingguan. This place is an official road extending in all directions.

On the east side of Guandao, there is a teahouse named Zhang, and the husband and wife run it separately. Guests parked on the road will rest in this place. Because of their excellent service and people, people widely convey their character.

One day, an old traveler passed by here, and he also heard about it. He also wants a bowl of tea. After drinking tea, the old man was also impressed by the refreshing fragrance of tea. He prayed for the couple and said, "There will definitely be big officials in your descendants, at least princes and the like." The couple smiled and said, "Where did we get this blessing? We have been married for many years and have not had a son and a half. What about future generations? Don't laugh at us. " The old man said solemnly, "Within five years after I leave, you will definitely have a new son, and the second son will belong to Zhou Long. But even your husband will die young. After his death, he will be quietly buried behind the tea shed, but he will not wear any clothes, shoes and socks. This is a secret! Once it gets out. It will definitely lead to a fatal disaster! "

Five years later, the woman became pregnant, but her husband died suddenly at night. The woman quietly dug a hole and buried her husband.

The news soon reached Beijing. At that time, the Qing dynasty had just entered the customs and had not yet established itself in Beijing. As soon as they heard the news, "the earth dragon is now, and the emperor is out." In their view, there must be a little emperor on the banks of the Yellow River in Wuzhi. Isn't that a competition with us? If we can't find him, how can we find him Some ministers were called together to hold an emergency meeting and decided to destroy this so-called rumor court as soon as possible. So they invited an expert who knew both astronomy and geography, Yin and Yang, and Feng Shui to see the crypt and hired him as a great Buddhist in the Qing Dynasty.

But not long after, a mysterious figure came to this place along Taihang Mountain to see Feng Shui, because they were outside the customs, and even if a small vassal-like figure was born in this place, they came to destroy it. As soon as they entered the customs and established themselves in Beijing, they came in the direction of the Central Plains.

But in such a big place, where do they start?

The great Buddhist climbed Daxing Mountain and looked south. He thinks it should appear in the southwest, because the Yellow River is shrouded in smoke, so it is impossible to see clearly and determine its position. He climbed to the southern end of Mangshan Mountain and looked north for a long time. At this time, he seemed to see a yellow dragon coming from the southwest and roaring towards the northeast.

He quickly mobilized the Qing soldiers from Beijing and gathered in front of the mound in Qingfeng Ridge. They ordered the soldiers to dig three feet and turn the ground. I searched for three days and nights and found nothing. By dawn on the fourth day, a Han soldier who defected from the Qing army finally had a pit more than a foot wide in the northeast of the pit.

When the Buddha saw it, he shouted, "Dig in this direction, and it will break its path sooner or later."

The soldiers began to dig again. They dug all the way along this cave to the west of South Jia Cun. The cave is gone, and red new soil is everywhere.

The great Buddhist grabbed a handful of new soil and put it on his nose to smell it. He said, "It's just dug up, and it's nearby." But there is nothing nearby, and there are no signs. They can't go back for nothing.

There's really nothing we can do. The Giant Buddha decided to build a Dayu Pavilion in the west of South Jia Cun, which was praised by the Han people. It was also a blow to him and suppressed his prestige.

On the fifth day, they found new marks on the east wall of the pit dug in the east of South Jia Cun. They decided to dig in this direction.

In order to control the situation, they built Mituo Temple and Yanqing Temple when crossing Shuizhai.

Along the direction of the cave, they crossed the ancient Yellow River Road, bypassed a lot of soil, and bypassed Jiaying Pass at the east fork of Erpuying. When I arrived at this place, I found nothing new.

The great Buddhist pinched his fingers and counted, and said, "Dig down three feet and look for it within 200 feet of Fiona Fang, which is very near here. It can't be wrong. "
