Rama and Lakshman traveled across mountains and rivers to find Sita, but they did not know where Lanka Island was. On this day, they came to Mount Lishemuga and paid a visit to Su Keli, the king of the monkey kingdom on the mountain. They told him about the sins of the ten-headed demons and asked him to help find out where Lanka Island was and help them defeat the ten-headed demons.

Su Keli has a strong sense of justice. He has long heard about the lawlessness of the Ten Demon Kings and hates them in his heart. He sympathized with Prince Rama and immediately sent a divine monkey named Hanuman to Lanka Island to inquire about Sita's whereabouts.

Hanuman has great magical powers and can perform seventy-three changes. He can wield a golden rod in a dazzling way, and is both brave and alert. Rama gave him a ring as a token of his meeting with Sita.

Hanuman flew into the clouds and looked around, but he didn’t know that Lanka Island was in a safe place. That day I met a practitioner named Sambadi and told him that Lanka Island is on the other side of the sea and that he has to cross the boundless sea to get there.

Hanuman thanked the practitioners happily, jumped on the clouds, crossed the sea and arrived at Lanka. He entered the city at night and flew to the palace of Lavana. At this time, a bright moon hung high in the blue sky, the palace was brightly lit, and the maids were coming and going. I wonder where they were locked up?

Hanuman felt a little hungry, so he climbed up a big tree and picked some fruits to satisfy his hunger. Just on the tree, he saw a woman locked in a room. The woman had disheveled hair and looked haggard. Many maids gathered around her, trying to persuade her to eat, but she threw everything on the floor. After a while, Ravana came in again, stayed for a short while, and then walked out angrily. Hanuman concluded that the imprisoned woman must be Sita.

When it was late at night and the woman was the only one left in the room, Hanuman slipped down from the tree and quietly entered the room to see the woman.

That woman was Sita. When Hanuman took out Rama's ring and showed it to her, she held it in both hands and shed tears. This is the first time she has received information from her relatives in many days since she was robbed, and she feels really sad and happy at the same time.

Hanuman told Sita that Rama was looking for her everywhere and asked her to give him a token to take back so that Rama could come and rescue her quickly. Sita cut off a handful of black hair from her head and gave it to Hanuman.

Hanuman held Sita’s hair in his arms and felt that he could not go back silently like this and had to punish Rana. He uprooted many trees in the garden, picked flowers and fruits and scattered them all over the palace. Ravana's son was patrolling the night with a group of demons. He caught Hanuman on the spot and tied him before Ravana.

Lavana deliberately wanted to tease the troublesome monkey, so he ordered people to pour oil on Hanuman's tail, light it on fire, and then let him go, allowing the monkey with the burned tail to jump again and again. Jump to them for fun. Hanuman's tail was on fire, but he felt no pain at all. He took the opportunity to fly up, using his tail as a torch, and set fires everywhere in the palace and city. Suddenly, the flames of Langjia Island rose into the sky, and a sea of ????fire broke out.

After Hanuman set enough fire, he flew to the seaside, dipped his tail in the sea water to extinguish the fire, and then returned to Mount Rishamuga to report to Rama. Myths and Legends 2

A long time ago, Shenjiamen was still a desolate thatched hillock. Only an old fisherman named Shen lived with his wife and children.

They went to sea every day. Fishing barely makes a living.

One day, the old fisherman rocked the boat and went out to sea, casting net after net, but the nets were all empty. It was getting dark and the wind and waves were getting strong. It would be dangerous if we didn't go back. But thinking about the fact that the whole family was still hungry, the old fisherman hesitated again. When he was in trouble, he looked up and saw a group of seagulls circling on the sea not far away. With many years of fishing experience, I know that where there are seagulls, there are definitely schools of fish.

The old fisherman quickly sailed over and cast a net, but it was empty again. The old fisherman was so frustrated that he couldn't help but frown. I was about to pack up my net gear and go home when I suddenly noticed something shining in the net bag.

When I took it out, I found it was an exquisitely carved jade seal. There are some crooked words engraved on the seal, I don’t know what they mean. A golden dragon is coiled around the seal, which is dazzling. The dragon's head protrudes from the top and holds a bright bead in its mouth. Strange to say, when the sea was illuminated by pearls, the wind subsided in an instant, the waves calmed down, and the ship sailed smoothly in the sea. Ah! This seal is still a treasure! The old fisherman put the seal in his arms and rushed home happily.

Early the next morning, the old fisherman built a shed on the top of the thatched hillock and hung the seal in the shed. The sea around Maocao Gang suddenly became calm. The fishermen found this good place and came to settle down one after another. From then on, Maocao Gang became alive.

It turns out that this jade seal is the seal of Zhenhai given by the Jade Emperor to the Sea Dragon King Ao Guang. The dragon's mouth holds a Wind-fixing Pearl. That day, the third prince of Qinglong took the treasure seal out of the palace to play. He accidentally lost it and happened to be caught by an old fisherman. The Dragon King had lost his seal. He was frightened, scared and anxious. He was worried that the Jade Emperor would find out about it, and that he would have to go to jail to be punished even if he lost the throne. He was so anxious that he could not sit still and had no intention of eating or drinking. He quickly sent out soldiers and generals to search for him, and ordered his guards to tie up the troubled Prince Qinglong, beat him, and wait for disposal.

Let’s talk about the shrimp soldiers and crab generals under the Dragon King. They searched here and there, searching every corner of the East China Sea and the ocean, and found traces of the treasure seal. There was a particularly attentive Crab General. He was wandering around in the sea and suddenly noticed something strange in the sea around Maocao Gang. When he looked around, he saw a golden treasure seal on the thatched hill. He hurried back to the palace to report it.

When the Dragon King heard the report, he immediately summoned the three armies and took the third prince Qinglong to go and get the seal in person. The water tribes rode on the waves and rushed towards the thatched hillock. Suddenly the sky was dark and the earth was dark, the waves were rolling, and the tide was rising sharply.

When the old fisherman saw that something was wrong, he invited all the villagers to climb to the top of the post and surround the thatched hut with the treasure seal hanging on it.

Relying on the power of Zhenhai Baoyin, Chao Shui was not sent to the post. Seeing that this plan failed, the Dragon King was very angry and jumped out of the sea and shouted: "What unruly people dare to take the treasures of my Dragon Palace? Why don't you offer them up quickly!"

The old fisherman shouted loudly. Answer:

"Dragon King of the East China Sea! You usually make trouble, destroy my fishing boats, hurt my fellow villagers, and prevent everyone from living a stable life. Today the treasure seal falls into our hands, how can we return it to you easily?"

After hearing this, the Dragon King was so angry that his beard stood up:

"Okay! If you don't return the seal, I will kill you one by one in the sea!"

Said Then, he opened his mouth wide and sprayed water directly on the post. The old fisherman calmly took the treasure seal in his hand, raised it high, and said loudly:

"If you continue to be unreasonable, I will smash the treasure seal!"

This time. Ao Guang was frightened, and waved his hands repeatedly:

"Don't smash it! Don't smash it! I blame my recklessness for a moment. I am sorry for you. As long as you return my treasure seal, you can choose the treasures in the Crystal Palace."

The old fisherman sneered and said:

"We fishermen don't care about your Dragon Palace treasures!"

"Then, then...then what do you want? ?"

"It's not difficult to return your treasure seal. You need to do three things from me."

At this point, the Dragon King had no choice but to cup his hands and say:

"Which three things, please tell me."

"The first thing is, from now on, we are not allowed to cause trouble and harm the fishermen."

"I will depend on you."

"The second thing is that the ebb and flow of the tide must be timed and cannot be capricious."

"It depends on what you get."

"The third thing is to offer it every day. Give tens of thousands of tons of seafood to our fishermen."

"This...the Dragon King was really heartbroken to offer tens of thousands of tons of seafood every day, but in order to get the seal, he had to nod his head and said:

"Yes. Yes, it can be done.

”

Prime Minister Gui immediately drafted an imperial edict and announced in public that from now on, tens of thousands of tons of seafood will be sent to fishermen on the sea surface of Wushamen and Yangan every day; there will be two tides in the morning and evening every day, with high tides occurring on the second and sixteenth day of each month. But the tide must not rise above the threshold of the old fisherman's house.

After the Dragon King announced the decree, he asked Prime Minister Turtle to step forward to take the seal.

"In that case. , what’s the basis for that?”

The Dragon King sneered:

“I, the mighty Dragon King of the East China Sea, can break my promise to you even if I keep my word like a mountain! People really underestimate me!”

The old fisherman thought for a while and said:

"Whether it's a small thing or a big thing, I think I'll use the Dingfeng Pearl as my basis! After all, let's take it from the dragon's mouth. Take out the Wind-fixing Pearl and return the seal to Prime Minister Turtle.

The Dragon King had no choice but to give up his love, so he glared at him fiercely. This glare didn't matter, but it frightened the Third Prince Qinglong. He was frightened, fearing that the future would be difficult, so he quickly jumped up to the sky, roared, and summoned his beloved brother, the white tiger. Qinglong and Baihu rushed towards the old fisherman with their teeth and claws open, trying to take back the Wind-fixing Pearl.

Seeing the ferocity of their approach, the old fisherman quickly took out the Wind-fixing Pearl and hit Qinglong and White Tiger fiercely. There was only a splash sound, and the green dragon was knocked down by the fixed wind bead to the east of Maocao Gang, and turned into a hill, becoming today's Qinglong Mountain; the white tiger was knocked down to the west of Maocao Gang, and turned into a hill, which is today's White Tiger. Mountain. The wind-fixing bead fell into the southern sea and turned into a small island, which is now Lujiazhi.

From then on, there was a green dragon on the left of the thatched hill, a white tiger on the right, and the Lu family stood in front as a barrier, becoming a natural fishing port. Wushamen and Yang'an fisheries have constant fish floods all year round, and the fishing ports have become more and more prosperous. In order to commemorate this old fisherman surnamed Shen, the fishermen called this place "Shenjiamen". Myths and Legends Story 3

Legend has it that a long time ago, thousands of tribes lived in the Central Plains. No one can tell how many there were. These tribal chiefs lead their tribe members every day to hunt in the mountains, collect wild fruits, fish in rivers, or cultivate in the fields. Everyone, regardless of gender, old or young, near or far, has a share of the fruits of their labor. However, everyone still didn't have enough to eat or wear, and sometimes they had to go to other nearby tribes to grab territory and food. As a result, the tribes often fought with each other and killed each other, resulting in a large number of casualties, which was too tragic to watch. This incident alarmed the Jade Emperor in heaven. He said to the Queen Mother: "Queen, in this world people are fighting each other all day long for food, causing a large number of casualties. Who else will bring us offerings and burn incense in the future? What should we do?" The Queen Mother said: "Master Jade Emperor, Human beings are fighting for lack of food. Why not send Mars, who is in charge of the southern sky, to come down to earth and let him teach the human world how to grow grains and raise livestock.

Hou Yi, the magic archer, shot down nine suns to eliminate harm for the people. People all over the world thanked him for his kindness. In order to reward him, the Queen Mother took all the fairies to Hou Yi. Yi came to see him at the top of the mountain where he was hunting.

At that time, Hou Yi was hunting in the mountains with his hunting horse, Black Ear, when the Queen Mother called Hou Yi to her side. He ordered a fairy to bring out a dazzling little box, took out two ordinary medicines with unusual fragrance, and told Hou Yi: "When you return, boil the ordinary medicines and swallow them, and you will become an immortal." Hou Yi took the elixir. After thanking the Queen Mother, she happily took Hei Er home.

Hou Yi loved his wife very much, so he decided to share the blessings with his wife Chang'e and become immortals together. When he returned home, he explained the matter to Chang'e and left the hunter with black ears. Go to the folks and elders and prepare to say goodbye to them.

Chang'e followed Hou Yi's instructions and boiled the ordinary medicine in water, and waited for Hou Yi to come back to eat together. But as she was greedy, she smelled the aroma of the elixir being cooked, so she couldn't help but eat one with a spoon. After eating, she felt so comfortable all over her body, and it was so delicious that she couldn't help but eat the last pill of the elixir.

When it got dark, Chang'e saw that her husband hadn't come back yet, so she went out to take a look. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, his body was fluttering in the wind. Seeing Chang'e stealing the elixir and ascending to heaven alone, the black-eared hunting dog outside the door barked and rushed into the house. When it smelled the fragrance, it grabbed the pot with one paw and threw away the leftovers. He licked up the human ginseng soup and then chased Chang'e in the sky. Chang'e was frightened and frightened when she heard Heer's bark, and hurriedly hid in the moon. The black-eared hair stood on end, and his body continued to grow in size. He suddenly pounced on Chang'e and swallowed the moon in one gulp.

At that time, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were admiring the moon in the Tiangong. Suddenly they saw that the sky was dark, and they quickly sent the Night Walker to find out. The Night God came back and reported that the moon had been swallowed by a black dog, which was why the sky was dark and the earth was dark. When the Jade Emperor heard this, he angrily ordered the heavenly soldiers and generals to capture the black dog. When the black dog was captured, the Queen Mother recognized it. It was Hou Yi's hunting dog, Black Ear, so when he asked about it and learned the reason, he felt pity for it, named it a Heavenly Dog, and let it guard the Nantian Gate.

As long as they walk down the stone, they will arrive at the foot of Mount Emei in a short while.
