What city does peony represent?

According to legend, Lv Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals in the sky, floated to the Central Plains with Xiangyun. Suddenly, he saw a brilliant city in Woye: majestic walls, gorgeous houses, palaces, temples, green trees, and several jade belt-like rivers flowing slowly, full of vitality. Lv Dongbin was so happy that he couldn't help pressing the cloud and became a mortal. When he discovered that Luoyang was a famous city, he had the idea of Range Rover and wandered around.

Walking in the street, Lv Dongbin found that the shops in this wealthy metropolis were closed, there were few pedestrians, there was almost no smoke in the kitchen, and there was no life, so he stopped an old man coming on.

The old man bowed his head and walked slowly. When he looked up, he saw his face as gloomy as blood stasis and his eyebrows locked, which seemed to be unwell. Seeing a stranger blocking the road, the old man quickly stepped back and waved his hand again and again: "Please don't go near, I am also infected, don't catch you again!"

Lv Dongbin more puzzled, busy easy to ask. It turns out that a plague has recently prevailed in Luoyang, so that farmers can't plow their fields and shops are closed. Everyone's life is in jeopardy, and the streets are naturally deserted and pedestrians are sparse!

Lv Dongbin thought, isn't it a pity that such a beautiful capital has lost its vitality? Such a kind person is ill, don't you distinguish between good and evil? We should help them!

He thought about it, and thought of fairy peony in the heavenly palace. It is said that peony roots can eliminate the plague. If fairy peony could be invited to plant peony in Luoyang, wouldn't the people be saved? Thinking of this, he lifted himself and rose to the sky.

When Lv Dongbin came to Yaochi, he first visited the Queen Mother. Fairy peony is a fairy around the queen mother. If the queen doesn't nod, fairies can't come down to earth at will.

The queen mother is holding a flat peach banquet. When she saw Lv Dongbin, she smiled and said, "It's delicious!"

Lv Dongbin did not take early adopters, but gave a gift, telling the story of the spread of the epidemic in Luoyang City. The queen of clothes allowed the fairy peony to go to heaven to help people. Who knows, the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Who doesn't know that Lv Dongbin is a lecherous! What is the treatment for ordinary people? Doing justice for heaven? Unless you want to play peony girl! "

Lv Dongbin was rejected by the Queen Mother, and he was very depressed. He was so angry that he wanted to leave, but thinking of the sufferings of the people, he sat patiently at the end of the banquet and then quietly came to fairy peony's room.

Fairy peony returned to his room after playing the rest of the Queen Mother and saw Lv Dongbin sitting in the room. He angrily rebuked and said, "Bold Lv Dongbin! How dare you sneak into the ladies' room until I tell the empress! "

Lv Dongbin quickly stopped the Peony Fairy and said, "Fairy, please calm down. Xiaoxian has something urgent to ask. It's not too late for you to tell me when I'm finished. "

"Say it quickly!" The fairy peony raised her eyebrows.

"I told the empress the truth at the banquet, and the people in Luoyang were really miserable. Go and have a look. If half of what I said is untrue, I would like to be handled by the young lady. "

Fairy peony looked at Lv Dongbin, his face flushed and his tone softened: "I'm not heartless. But I just want to save the people. I can't go down without the consent of the empress! "

Lv Dongbin said, "I know fairies always sympathize with people, so I invite them to come to the next world when the queen rests in peace!" " ! "

The fairy hesitated: "It is against the dogma to enter the lower bound privately. When the empress knows it, she will be merciless. "

"Go but one night, come back early tomorrow morning. Besides, for thousands of people, it's not worth the risk? " Lv Dongbin is a deep ceremony.

Fairy peony was finally persuaded. He and Lv Dongbin slipped out of the Heavenly Palace and landed Xiangyun slowly on the head of Luoyang City. The fairy brushed away the night fog and looked down at the capital. Seeing that the epidemic was pervasive and the sun was gloomy, she nodded to Lv Dongbin, hurried Xiangyun to the north of the city, loosened her sleeves and scattered peony seeds on Mangshan Mountain. Sowing and sowing, peony seeds fall on hillsides and valleys.

Seeing that it was getting late, the Peony Fairy bid farewell to Lv Dongbin and hurried back to heaven. But when she walked to the door of Yaochi, she found the Queen Mother waiting there, looking at herself gloomily. Fairy peony hurriedly knelt down to explain, empress gave a said:

"Needless to say, I think you listened to Lv Dongbin's song at yesterday's party. You showed concern and knew that your heart had moved. It's good to miss you. I will forgive your sin. I will demote you to the lower bound and plant peonies! "

When fairy peony was demoted to the world, the first thing that came to mind was that the seeds sown last night did not know what had happened, so they fell to Beimang Mountain. At first glance, Mangshan is a good place, with fertile land and warm sunshine, which is most suitable for peony growth, and the seeds sown have sprouted. So, the fairy's face was full of smiles and melted gently into a breeze and drizzle.

In addition, when Lv Dongbin saw that fairy peony was born because of himself, he was very sad and decided to live on Mangshan Mountain to protect fairy peony from bullying.

Lv Dongbin turned into a mortal, and opened a teahouse by the road of Beimangling in Luoyang City to provide tea for pedestrians and publicize the knowledge of eradicating peony. Hearing this, the people went to dig some roots to take medicine, and the plague was soon eradicated.

Later, in order to thank the fairy peony, Mangshan Mountain was called "Peony Mountain". At the same time, a temple was built in the teahouse for Lv Dongbin to shelter from the wind and rain, and it was offered at four o'clock to show his respect.
