Why is it named Tiger Leaping Gorge? There is a thrilling legend here.
Legend has it that there is a mountain in the embrace of Yulong Snow Mountain. The name of this mountain is Crouching Tiger Ridge, and there is a tiger riding village under Crouching Tiger Ridge. The people riding the tiger village were originally hunters in Tujue, Mu Yi, so they are also called Orion Village.
There are two brothers in Orion village. Brother's name is Cang Xiu, but his behavior is cruel as a tiger.
My brother's name is Cang Xian, but he is the opposite of his brother, like a tame red deer, who only loves grass but not blood.
One day, two brothers went hunting in the mountains. In the old forest of Crouching Tiger Ridge, they found tiger footprints as big as sea bowls.
The two brothers untied the elf's hunting dog, and the hunting dog followed the tiger's footsteps. The two brothers followed the barking of the hounds. They panted after Tiger Leaping Gorge. The tiger wagged its tail whistle and jumped over the Tiger Leaping Gorge in one jump. A Cang Xiu and A Cang Xian hurried over and were stopped by the river in Tiger Leaping Gorge.
Brother A Cangxiu dared to jump over the Tiger Leaping Gorge, and A Cangxian timidly looked at the deep canyon. Dark ravines, cold sen yin qi and the rocks standing on both sides of the canyon, like maws full of fangs, could not help but tremble.
O pale string put his hand over his eyes in fear, timidly shrank back, standing on the edge of the gorge, shrinking and afraid to jump over.
Cang Xiu found that his younger brother didn't dare to cross the gorge. He turned around and shouted, "Brother, if you dare to narrow the gap, you dare to jump over it quickly.
"Brother still dare not jump.
"Brother, close your eyes and grab my brother's crossbow arm across the canyon," Acura said again. As soon as I pull, you jump over. " .
"The warehouse Hugh said as he put out the crossbow.
Urged by his elder brother, his younger brother gritted his teeth and grasped the crossbow arm tightly.
Suddenly, a dark cloud floated over the top of Yulong Snow Mountain, and A Cangxiu had evil thoughts in his heart: the priceless tiger skin stored at home, as well as bear bile, musk and velvet antler, which can cure all diseases, are also worth a basket of gold. If this basket of gold brothers doesn't share equally with me, I can also become a millionaire who wipes the corner of Yinggu.
Cangxiu thought of this, gritted his teeth, pulled the crossbow hard and pushed it back.
This pull pushed the second brother into the canyon.
The sky saw Cang Hugh's murder of his younger brother, and hurriedly pulled off the dark clouds to cover his big eyes; Dashan saw it and hid in the clouds in horror.
The Jinsha River roared and set off an avalanche of waves. There was a storm in the canyon.
The white stone gods of Yulong Snow Mountain and the black stone gods of Haba Snow Mountain also retreated three steps in horror.
Since then, the Tiger Leaping Gorge, where crossbows can be thrown at each other, has suddenly widened, and people can no longer jump over it, leaving only a gorge where tigers can run back and forth.
Since then, this canyon has been called "A Cang La Luo La La", which means the canyon that the tiger jumped over. In order to save money, people also call it "Lola Country", which means Tiger Leaping Gorge.
