The legend of Huoer Mountain

There is a mountain called Huoer Mountain in front of the village. It looks like it has been chiseled by a knife and an axe. Is it the creation of heaven and earth, or is it the work of a foolish old man? I don’t know how many naive children have been confused by this question.

A long time ago, it was a barbaric era, when witchcraft was very popular, especially in the south.

One day, several southerners learned from unknown sources that there was a treasure in the mountain and came to dig for it. They placed a piece of straw under their saddle and recited the incantation. Ever since Rong Guang discovered how to make fire from stones, there was no need to spend a lot of time drilling wood to make fire, nor was there any need to do everything possible to preserve fire. The Yellow Emperor of the Central Plains knew that Rong Guang had such great contributions, so he invited him there. Later, the meaning of the Dragon Boat Festival changed. In order to commemorate the patriotic spirit and noble personality of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan, people have forgotten the original meaning of the Dragon Boat Festival, and associated dragon boat rowing and rice dumpling making that were not originally commemorative of Qu Yuan to him. He became a fire official specializing in fire management. Huangdi thought highly of him and said: "Rong Guang, I will appoint you as Zhu Rong from now on. Zhu is forever, Rong is light. May you always bring light to the world." Rong Guang was very happy after hearing this and kowtowed quickly to express his thanks. From then on, everyone called him Zhu Rong. Suddenly the grass dragon took off, and in the blink of an eye, it flew from thousands of miles away to Huo'er Mountain.

When these outsiders were digging in the mountains, they were blocked by the villagers. In desperation, they had no choice but to dig secretly at night and play tricks during the day. Osmanthus osmanthus suffered such a serious crime for no reason. The more they thought about it, the more angry Hu Hong became. Sometimes he gritted his teeth with hatred and cursed in his heart: "If I had known this, it would be better to have really done this." There is a poem in "Xiaoya" from "The Book of Songs": "It's better to be with a good man like my cousin." So when Wu Yineng asked her again where Hu Hong's body was, she was so angry that she answered casually. He said: "We dissected the corpse, cut off the meat, cooked it and fed it to wild dogs." This was originally an angry comment, but Wu Yineng wanted to say it. He hurriedly asked Master Shao to write it down quickly. Master Shao interrupted and said: "The meat "We fed the dog, but where are the bones?" Wang Guihua said, "We threw the bones into the dry well in the backyard."

At noon, they called people to Shifangyuan. A person dressed in a Taoist robe lit three sticks of incense, knocked on the heaven and earth three times, and then began to perform a trick: the Taoist took out a bowl of water and placed it in the middle of the courtyard, and then burned the talisman in the water. The Taoist closed his eyes slightly, sat in front of the incense table, and ordered the other two people to bring up an Eight Immortals table, with the legs of the table facing upwards, and the tabletop cover pressing on the bowl. Four bold young men were picked out from the crowd and asked to hold on to a table leg tightly and use their strength to prevent the table from turning. At this time, the Taoist's lips moved slightly and he began to recite incantations. The table of the Eight Immortals was also suspended, and the four young and strong men were also led to run wildly. A few minutes later, the Taoist opened his eyes, flicked the whisk, and the Eight Immortals Table stopped. Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

After a while, the bench fight started again: the Taoist found two benches and put them on the ground, lit a talisman and recited a spell. After two days of dawn, the villagers were drinking and helping to search the homes of relatives and friends. I searched all over, but couldn't find it. Every day passed like this, no one dead or alive, no corpse. Wu's mother said to her daughter-in-law: "Forget it, stop looking. I have been looking for more than half a year. I thought my son was dead. Lu Yu was an abandoned baby. Ding Hua endured the punches and kicks while struggling and shouting: "Stop. "Stop, let me destroy you before I beat you." "The History of the Tang Dynasty", "The New Book of Tang" and "The Biography of the Talented Scholars of the Tang Dynasty" all make no secret of this. One early morning in the late autumn of the year AD, the Jingling Longgai Temple Zen Master Zhiji passed by a small stone bridge in the western suburbs and suddenly heard the cry of geese under the bridge. When he got closer, he saw a group of geese guarding a baby boy with their wings. The baby boy was shivering from the severe frost. Zhiji held Taibai After Jin Xing and Yan Emperor bid farewell to the Jade Emperor, they placed the pair of divine chickens on the top of the Yangtze Mountain. Then, they took the Chixuan car to the East China Sea to urge the sun to go out to work, and he took the stone bridge back to the temple for adoption. It is called "Ancient Yanqiao" and the nearby street is called "Yanjing Street". The ruins are still there. You don't have any children, so what's the point of staying here? In my opinion, you'd better leave. The young master of the Hu family is pretty good. I'll take the time to talk to him about this. You two can get along. I think he's a good match.

After hearing what her mother-in-law said, the daughter-in-law blushed and nodded, saying, "Mom, it's all up to you. I don't have any other ideas, daughter-in-law." "The benches were beaten together like they were angry, until one of them lost his leg, and then they stopped. Then, they walked forward again and came to a forest. There was a seat in the forest. The stone bridge crosses a clear stream. A snow-white rabbit is playing tricks in the pavilion on the bridge. That day, I heard that a Taoist came to the town, known as Huazhen. Lin Qing asked Lin Qing to go and get him overnight. Lin Qing was walking anxiously with a lantern, when he suddenly saw Yu Nu and her son standing in front of her with pale and gloomy faces. They were wearing brand new clothes, but the style was a bit strange. , like the clothes worn by a dead person, and there is a strange smell on the body, "Why don't you leave here?" It's too late! "Yu Nu said coldly. Lin Qing was about to ask her what was going on. In the blink of an eye, Yu Nu's mother and son had disappeared. Lin Qing was so excited that she did not dare to go into details at the moment. She hurriedly went to the inn to invite Hua Zhenren back. Medicine.

Since then, the people in the village were so frightened that they closed their homes at sunset and dared not go out. A few gods from the south began to dig for treasures at night.

It turned out that there was a tree on Huo'er Mountain. Thousands of years of horse thorns and thorns. They have matured for a long time, shed their mortal bodies under the nurturing of the sun, moon, rain and dew, and can become immortals and leave the earth in just a few days.

The god counted the time to dig, and when he felt sleepy, he rested in the cave under the cliff. Half a month passed like this, but the thorns and thorns were still there. One night, when one of them was resting, he thought of himself. His tools were still lost on the top of the mountain, so he quietly climbed up to look for them. When he was approaching the top of the mountain, he vaguely heard that during the Jin Dynasty in Shandong, there was a man named Xu Yan from Yangxian. One day, he bought a big white goose from the market. When I was in the Sui'an Mountains, I saw a scholar about ten years old lying on the roadside. I asked Xu Yan what was going on. The goose rests in the cage. "Xu Yan thought he was joking and ignored him. Unexpectedly, after the scholar finished speaking, he stood up and walked directly into the cage. Xu Yan was simply dumbfounded. When he looked carefully, he saw that the cage had not increased in size, and neither did the scholar. It shrunk, but he was still in the cage, sitting side by side with the pair of big white geese. Xu Yan carried the cage on his back, and strangely, it didn't feel any heavier than before. Someone said from the top: "Brother Ma Ji, I see. Let's go to another place to find another treasure tonight, otherwise, if they dig for another two nights, we will be in jail." "Okay, hurry up and prepare, we will leave immediately." After hearing this, the man was secretly surprised, He hurriedly returned to the cave to wake up his other accomplices. Kai Zhangcheng said, "Why don't you just reel in the line? I'll accompany you. Why bother with all the trouble?" "After saying that, he took out the ingot of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Luo. Shi Shi kept digging all night. Since they lost the time to repair and strengthen the roots, the horse thorns and thorns were stolen by them when the rooster crowed at dawn.

This deep scar has been left on the ridge ever since.

I heard that the southerners walked in a hurry at dawn and left behind the secret spells, and were then taken to the mountains to herd sheep! Jin Sheng, the Minister of Human Affairs, was a treacherous official, and he always coveted the high position of the prime minister, hoping to have more and greater power in his hands. Therefore, he believed that Prime Minister Xue was a roadblock for him to climb up, and he thought about it all day long. He defeated Prime Minister Xue and picked it up. Since the sheepherder didn't know a single word, he gave the secret book to the teacher. He felt like he had found a treasure. He would light up the lamp and recite the book when he was sleepy.

One day, the husband went away, leaving only his young son at home. The child inadvertently found this strange book under his father's pillow, opened a page and started reading. . Suddenly, a god descended from the sky. His breath was full of rainbow, his eyes were shining with golden light, and his bared teeth were like a weeping willow. Qi Tai was speechless, not knowing what to do. The cold wind lifted his armor, and white clouds wrapped around his neck. From a distance, there was a pillar in the sky, and from a close look, there was a wall.

The god stood still and asked, "Sir, what's the point of calling the little god here?" The child was already stunned. Seeing the god's question, he was at a loss. In a panic, he pointed to the eggs on the table and said, "Pile them up." The god put down his weapon and started to stack it up, but he couldn't stack it up, so he had to beg for his life: "Sir, the little god is incompetent and couldn't stack it up. Please ask someone who is smarter." The child took advantage of the situation and answered: "Then I'm sorry to send you away!" "The god pulled away and disappeared into the clouds.

Fortunately, the god failed to stack the eggs, otherwise the child would not know that he would have to face Lu Ban's wife Yunshi, who was also an excellent craftsman. According to the description in "Jade Chips", she invented the umbrella. To this day, umbrellas are still an indispensable tool in people's daily lives. What a disaster! Don’t people often say, “It’s easy to invite God, but it’s difficult to send God away?” This child doesn't know how to send spells to the gods, and secondly, he doesn't know how to send incense to the gods. If he lets the gods successfully complete one thing, the consequences will be difficult to deal with!

The story is just a story and cannot be believed, but Huoer Mountain has been lying quietly in front of the village of Taipingzhuang in Shexian County for thousands of years! In recent years, Shexian County Government has taken ancient culture, red culture and natural scenery in parallel to expand the tourism industry. I think the tourism industry needs folk legends and anecdotes to add to its charm and color. Huo'er Mountain is at the end of the ancient Huangshan Mountains, and Wahuang Villa is located at its feet. I only dedicate this story to the booming tourism in Shexian County!
