Tiangouwang Street 1
In Shizhai Village, Rong County, there is a stone mountain called "Street Dog". This rocky mountain is like a god dog. He guards Rongzhou day and night. According to the elders, whenever something important happens, this street dog will shake the golden bell under its neck as a signal to tell people. Legend has it that when the Japanese army invaded Rong County, the golden bell of the street dog also rang. This street dog used to be the favorite dog of the Jade Emperor. Once, he broke the dogma and angered the Jade Emperor. The jade emperor broke his foot and was banished to the mortal world, which happened to land in Rongxian. A kind old man took him in and found herbs to cure his feet. Tengu thanked him very much. That year, it happened to be a drought, and the floating dust on the ground was three feet thick, leaving only a trickle of embroidered river on the ground. The crops died of drought, and it was difficult to draw water. People ate everything they could eat, and even killed all the cows to save their lives. Tengu sympathizes with people's sufferings. He helps people pull plows and farm fields every day. A state official, knowing that Tengu was a man, hated it, and told the Jade Emperor about Tengu's faults. The Jade Emperor thought that Tiangou insulted Heaven, so he sent heavenly soldiers and generals to collect Tiangou. That night, Tiangou stole a piece of pig Wang Shi from the sky, and prepared to use it to block the pig tooth gorge of Jiangxiu River, so that the river would rise and the drought would be alleviated. When it crossed Rongzhou with the pig Wang Shi, it suddenly heard the cries of the heavenly soldiers and generals, so it had to leave the pig Wang Shi and run away in a hurry, ready to go to the old man's house to hide. However, before he could enter the house, he was caught up by the mountain soldiers. Tengu refused to go back and was immediately turned into a rocky mountain. Now, Tengu is still watching Rongzhou, the place where he lived, guarding the kind people here day and night. Therefore, people call it a "street dog".
2. Money Cave
In ancient times, there was a grotto on the stone wall of Kunshi, Qian Ku, which was said to have given money, so it was called Qian Ku.
A long time ago, a rich man transported a large amount of ill-gotten wealth to Rongcheng in an attempt to bribe the county magistrate. There is a fairy named Liu Gen in Nanshan who hates this kind of behavior in his heart. The rich man's money was transported to the roadside of Qian Ku and immediately distributed to the poor passing by. Liu Genxian also hid the rest of the money in Kunli, Qian Ku. Whenever someone passed by, Qian Ku Kun would slip out a penny as a transitional payment. However, the fairy has a rule that everyone is only allowed to take a penny at a time. The poor are very disciplined. For a long time, the money to pay for caves kept flowing.
It's like spreading your wings and flying to every household. The rich man who lost his money had a bad idea after hearing the news. He was carrying a hoe, trying to dig out the money pit and get it back. He dug and dug and a stone hit him on the forehead. He died soon after he was carried home.
The grottoes are still intact, and the poor still take money. Many years passed, and the rich man's son was greedy. Knowing that it was useless to dig hard, he took several sacks and planned to take all the money away. However, when he got the second penny, a flying stone hit him in the chest, and his heart was around the hole. Now that the grotto is polluted by that despicable heart, it will never pay again.
3. Evil chinemys reevesii and Snakes
In ancient times, a state official colluded with a rich man to bully his neighbors. People are so poor that they can only eat chaff and wild vegetables. Everyone hates their guts.
One day, they called four bearers and carried them to Shangqiao Mountain in bamboo sedan chairs. When the sedan chair was carried to Dabeiba, the sedan chair bearers shouted loudly and threw it into Dabeiba and drowned. After these two guys died, one became chinemys reevesii and the other became a giant snake. They shit and pee in the big pond every day and make the water dirty. At that time, there were no wells. For generations, people have drunk the water from this big pond. Since turtles and snakes turned water into dirty water, people have eaten this dirty water, many people have yellow swelling, and people's lives have become more bitter. People have no choice but to pray to heaven, hoping to get rid of giant turtles and giant snakes. The villagers' prayers touched a fairy in Baogaiyan. One day, he flew out of the rock, brought out a Thor, aimed at the tortoise and snake and burned it. Tortoise and snake dodged from left to right, unable to resist, so they had to fly away. The immortal chased after him, and the tortoise and snake got into Guishan and Sheshan respectively and disappeared. After chinemys reevesii and the giant snake were driven away, the water in Dabei became clear and sweet, and the villagers in Dabei drank the water and stopped swelling.
"Rong County Records" records: "In the forty years of Kangxi, there was a big storm, and a chinemys reevesii and a giant snake flew out, so there was no yellow swelling."
4. Chumi Temple
There are more than 100 cliffs in the left corner of the North Cave, with stairs on them and steep walls. No wonder the predecessors sighed at the edge of the cliff: "The caves in the North Cave are mostly in the air, and it is impossible to fly!" Climb to the top of the mountain and walk down the back of the mountain. There is a cave as high as Dapoyan. This cave is the ancient Chumi Temple.
Long ago, there were many immortals in famous temples all over the world. These immortals are "xianggong", Taoists, monks and so on. Although they practiced Buddhism, they still didn't take off their bones. The immortals in Guilin went to check whether the little immortals around the country were sincere and had good hearts. He wants to let those little immortals who practice well ascend to heaven. How to check the exam? The fairy came up with a clever test method. At that time, landlords in the upper reaches of Meijiang often transported a large number of mined rice to Rongcheng. There was no road at that time, so we had to ship it by wood from Meijiang. When the boat loaded with rice arrived at Gu Zhuo (the name of a river bend) in Shizhai, the immortals sank the boat into the water, ground the rice into shells, and then washed the rice downstream at Ma Feng Beach in Jiang Xiu. Rice husk flows out of Zhu Ya Canyon, and white rice is hidden in Bai Weiling Temple in Nanshan. When the poor really have no rice to cook, rice comes out of the rice hole in the west stone wall of the rice temple. The "xianggong" in the temple has been feeding on those rice ever since.
Strange to say, every time rice comes out, you can only cook porridge, but you can't cook. After cooking, one person has enough to eat, two people have enough to eat, and more people eat and swell. At first, the "xianggong" in the temple was very religious. Every morning when cooking porridge, he always burns incense first, then rings the bell to worship Buddha, and then eats porridge after finishing Buddha. Coincidentally, every time after ringing the bell, a rotten monk came to the temple on time. "xianggong" began to politely invite: "here is porridge, please eat it together." After ten and a half days, the smelly-footed monk still came to eat porridge on time. Xianggong's face froze and he stopped greeting him. The smelly-footed monk pretended not to see it, took a bowl of porridge and left without saying anything. After a long time, the incense monk was furious. First, I hate smelly feet and monks get something for nothing, and then I hate smelly feet and dirty feet. In order not to let him come again, he thought and thought, and thought of a good way to drive the wandering monk out. On this day, he ate porridge before ringing the bell. When the bell rang, the smelly-footed monk came. Seeing that there was no porridge in the clay pot, the smelly-footed monk understood everything. He looked at "xianggong", nodded, sighed, pointed to the rice temple and said:
It is porridge in the morning, but it is porridge in the morning.
Buddha goes to the west, Nanshan rice temple is empty.
With a wave of his hand, a crane flew from the clouds for a long time, and the monk rode away on Yunfei. The "xianggong" realized that the smelly-footed monk wanted him to become an immortal and regretted his ignorance. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, but it was too late, and the immortals in Guilin had already flown away. Since then, the rice temple stopped growing, and later generations swam out of the rice temple with a poem, sighing:
The south cave breaks the monument and smears the old seal, and the north hall gives birth to a new moss wasteland.
White clouds are misty, the wind is blowing, and it is suspected that the fairy is driving a crane back.
5. Zhenwu Pavilion
Zhenwu Pavilion, which is famous all over the country, is said to be a masterpiece created by Master Lu Ban overnight.
Master Lu Ban has long decided to build a strange pavilion. He collected a batch of the strongest lattices and worked hard day and night, sawing, grinding and planing, and completed all the columns, ridges, eaves columns, arches, citrons, beams and other components needed to build the pavilion. After that, Master Lu Ban went to find a place to build a pavilion.
Master Lu Ban climbed mountains and went from village to village. One day, he came to the twenty holes at the foot of Jiaodu Mountain. The magnificent scenery of Jiaodu Mountain attracted him deeply. He wants to climb the highest peak and choose the place to build the pavilion, but he doesn't know the way. The owner of a family at the foot of the mountain warmly invited him into the house, brought him white rice porridge to satisfy his hunger and thirst, and took out salted cabbage. Master Lu Ban felt refreshed after drinking this porridge. After eating and drinking, the host personally led the way and took him to the incense burner peak. Master Lu Ban stood at the top of the mountain and looked north. Rongzhou was like a phoenix spreading its wings, a beautiful river, a piece of green water and a fog cover in Yunfu, which was as beautiful as a fairyland. He looked at the wings of the phoenix carefully. Oh, no, this phoenix is really going to fly! Master Lu Ban was very uncomfortable. It turned out that he fell in love with this place! He saw beautiful mountains and rivers, not only beautiful mountains and rivers, but also better people. How kind and sincere the master I have never met is to him! So, he decided to build the pavilion on the phoenix wing. One side of the phoenix wing falls on the river bend in the east of the city, and the other side falls on the Zhuoying Pavilion in the west of the city. Master Lu Ban found this place and hurried down to Fengyi.
Master Lu Ban went to the selected place, and a group of soldiers with broadswords and spears passed by him. Not far away is a military camp. He was surprised and walked down the high slope. In the shade of a tree, several old people are chatting. They whispered that state officials set up checkpoints to collect people's wealth regardless of people's lives. When this word reached Lu Ban's ears, he could not help but hesitate. If he builds a castle here, the patrolling soldiers will report to the state officials, and the greedy state officials will blackmail and obstruct, so the building can't be built. Why not build it somewhere else? Luban is also obsessed with the beautiful scenery of Rongzhou and wants to benefit the people here. After careful consideration, he decided to take the trouble to build the pavilion overnight. This is a very huge project. Just transporting wood will bring more than 1000 Hercules, and even more people will transport mortar, tile ridge, tile decoration and installation. Master Lu Ban is a man of his word. He visited all the villages in Rongzhou. When he saw the strong offspring, he sat down to chat with them and told them that he would build a castle one day and asked them to help him. Master Lu Ban's name was a household name at that time, and everyone admired him. The younger generation saw him visit in person and readily agreed. Master Lu Ban found enough porters and went to a carpenter. These carpenters regard Master Lu Ban as a grandfather and a fairy. When he spoke, everyone tried to help build the building. Finding enough people, Lu Ban turned the strength of all people into divine power. After a while, the wood arrived. After darkness and silence, he built a castle with all his skills. Before dawn, the majestic Zhenwu Pavilion stood on the Jiang Xiu River. Those who promised Master Lu Ban to build the pavilion waited for Master Lu Ban to call them and wait for Master Lu Ban at the appointed time. After dawn, although I didn't go to Gai Lou, I felt more tired than building a three-day building. They didn't know that before they knew it, Master Lu Ban had borrowed them to build Zhenwu Pavilion.
After dawn, surrounded by patrol soldiers, state officials came to Zhenwu Pavilion in sedan chairs. He got out of the sedan chair and looked up. In front of him, he saw a wonderful pavilion, brown oranges and green tiles, swallows flying in the air and dragons crouching. Under the sunrise, the weather is myriad. Stunned, the state official looked out and saw a belly that could not wear official clothes. He went in and took a look. He asked the soldiers to watch and measure. The three-story pavilion is three feet, three feet and six inches high. The whole exhibition hall is made up of nearly 3000 grid members of different sizes, without a nail. What's even more amazing is that there are four inner columns on the second floor, which bear the weight of the upper floor, beam frame, columns, roof tiles and roof ridges, but the column feet are suspended! State officials suspected that the pavilion was built by immortals, but it was not demolished, so Zhenwu Pavilion became a scenic spot in Rongzhou.
6. Embroider the legend of the river
Legend has it that a long time ago, the embroidered river was much bigger than it is now, several times as big as it is now! Why is this? At that time, there was a water pipe in the water, which sprayed water every day. People who live by the river are either drowned or eaten by fierce pipes. One day, a brave man with a sword came to Rongxian and heard several young people talking: "I heard that the water dragon in Xiujiang killed many people!" " ""yes, yes! Last time an official went to see it, he was also eaten. " ? Hearing this, the samurai immediately ran over and asked, "Where is Xiujiang? I will destroy that water pipe and kill those people! " An old man came up and said, "You can't beat it, just because you want to kill ordinary people so much, I will tell you!" " "Say that finish, with the soldiers came to the embroidered river. After arriving at Jiang Xiuhe, the soldier turned to thank the old man, but the old man didn't know where to go. The soldier thought, maybe he didn't dare to go first. Then, he went to the river and shouted, "Monster, come out quickly, and I will beat you to the bone today!" " "At this time, there was a whirlpool in the river and the waterspout came out. He said angrily, "You have overreached yourself. Today, you have no bones! "Without further ado, the samurai immediately drew his sword and fought the hoses. Because waterspouts have been in the river for a long time, they are not as flexible as soldiers, and they can't beat soldiers, so they created several waterspouts like them with their own magic. The samurai picked up the sword and cut off the tail of a waterspout at once, but because he was outnumbered, he took the lead in the later battle. At this time, several hoses sprayed water together, trying to drown the soldiers. At this time, the old man flew out. When he waved his hand, lightning struck the hose and it was knocked unconscious. The old man grasped the hose and vibrated at the bottom of the river. At this time, the samurai understood that the old man was a fairy! The fairy said to him, "I have been watching you secretly." You are a person who thinks of the people. You can also be a fairy. Go to heaven with me! """No, you're right. You should think of the people. It's safe here, but it's not necessarily safe elsewhere. I'd better continue to do harm for the people! "Say that finish, he picked up his sword and walked away. Since then, people on the embroidered river have never been attacked by monsters!
7. Twenty caves
According to the legend of the villagers, in ancient times, there was a shepherd boy at the foot of Nanshan. He went to Nanshan to herd cattle. One day, he went to the cave to enjoy the cool, saw a round hole and got into it curiously. The deeper you go, the wider and brighter the cave becomes. He jumped from a rock to a cliff. I don't know how many miles he walked, but he came to a different place with high ceilings, strange rocks and a clear stream. I don't know where the source is. Further on, there are two cliffs, a bird path and idle clouds and flowing water. Straight into the stream, the fairyland is open, the four mountains are arched, the smallpox is scattered, the pool is set up, and the white deer walks on the cliff. Suddenly I saw two old people sitting opposite the stone table. They are playing chess. I saw that every time the old man took a bite, a dung beetles (dung beetles, Rongxian name, shit bug) flew into his mouth, then spit out a bright red and ripe litchi stone and ate it with relish. The shepherd boy is very curious. An old man saw that he was fascinated, so he caught two dung beetles from the air and gave them to the shepherd boy. The shepherd boy dared to put them in his mouth and immediately turned them into Dan Li, which was very sweet and delicious. As time goes by, chess has become a mess. The shepherd boy suddenly remembered his cow and left the hole. At the mouth of the cave, the cow disappeared, but at dusk, I had to go down the mountain and go home alone. When he returned to the village, the village remained the same and the personnel had changed. He visited his neighbor and asked about his family. He also confessed his name, identity and generation, and came back from grazing in the mountains. An old man said: I heard old people say that a certain generation of someone went to Nanshan to herd cattle and disappeared, but it has been hundreds of years now. Is that you? The shepherd boy told the story of the old man playing chess and Li Dan in detail, and then he went to Rong County to record the poems of later generations: Where are the real people going? Qian Shan ancient view. On the day when Mo Kao ascended to heaven and became immortal, the game was still spreading. It is difficult to reconcile the poems on the moss wall. Taoyuan Road is Xu Tong.
When the clock strikes noon, when is the chess game? Later, another courageous man made an appointment with several partners, bought 36 Jin of butter candles and went into the cave to explore the fairyland. After they entered the hole, they went straight down, down the steep steps and into the big hole. The grotesque rocks in the cave are long and deep. Not far away, an underground river lay in front of us. Fortunately, the water is not deep. After crossing the river, they walked into the tortuous cave for a long time. Suddenly, a bigger cave appeared in front of them, with stone benches, stone platforms, stone candles, stone lamps, stone bowls and plates. What surprised them even more was that Shi Niu, Shi Ma, Shi Pig, Shi Dog and Shi Chicken had vivid expressions. They walked and crossed many underground rivers. After a long walk, all of a sudden, they heard footsteps not far above their heads, chickens' cries, and farmers' shouts of driving cattle while plowing the fields. Further on, even the cattle dealer can hear a quiet conversation. Is the celestial fairy house above them? Or mortal? They are looking for the answer with great interest. The number of people holding candles counted butter candles and was surprised. They lit 18 candles and went on. I don't know where Xian Weng played chess and where the ending was. Afraid of running out of candles, I can't get out of the hole. So, as decisive as going into a hole, go back at once. When the hole came out, the butter candle had been lit. It's dark, too. They are afraid of meeting tigers. They went down the mountain in a panic and went back to the village to count the number of people, only to find that two people had been burned to death. The villagers searched for a long time, but they couldn't find it. Later, the elders worried that someone would never get out of the hole again, so they sealed the hole with mud and stones. Time flies, hundreds of years have passed quickly, and the hole is covered with grass, so that future generations can't even find the hole. The old man Qiao Shan sighed: The scenery of Nanshan has been beautiful since ancient times. Do you dare to ask whether there are gods or not? 20 holes and 300 Li, teach future generations not to be confused.
