At the junction of Zhenping, Neixiang and Dengzhou, there is a story of Erlang Danshan catching the sun

Erlang Danshan picks up the sun

At the intersection of Zhenping, Neixiang and Deng County, there are three small hills, called Xianzhu Mountain in the east, Sishan Mountain in the west, and Kick foot mountain in the south. These three mountains are not far away, and one of them is called Yihe Village, and there is a large well at the west end of the village, called Erlang Well. Not far from the three mountains, there is a small mountain called Tsurugi Mountain, which was left behind when Erlang Danshan was in the sun.

Legend has it that once upon a time, there were nine suns in the sky. This has not yet fallen, that has come out again, the earth is pure day, there is no night, people stand up to the poisonous sun, work all day, old can not rest, everyone is tired and sore legs. The Jade Emperor sent the Erlang God to surrender the nine suns.

GOOD STORY

The god Erlang carried the mountain and lifted up the sun in the sky.

When the news of The Sun catching the mountain reached the ears of the Nine Suns, they were careful to watch out. Erlang carried two mountains, and in the sky he swept from the east to the west, and from the west to the east, and he threw it fast, and the sun ran fast. In this way, turning round and round, picking up two and pressing them down the mountain; Pick up one, squeeze one. One day, seeing that it was about to be picked up by Erlang, it was anxious, so it went under the purslane on the side of the road, evaded Erlang's pursuit, and never dared to show it again. Until now, purslane has not died because there is a sun below it that is opposite to the sun in the sky. Later, the sun was less in the sky, the weather was not as hot as before, and the days were shorter.

When Erlang was on the last day, people saw that they could work half dark and half bright during the day every day, rest at night, and no better, so they said to Erlang: "Don't beat it, leave a sun!" He said to the sun, "If you don't count your words, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Ritou hurriedly agreed, and Jiro took up the mountain and walked back.

When he carried the mountain and walked to the front of Funiu Mountain, he was just in time for a rainy day, the road was muddy, it was not easy to walk, and there was thick mud under his feet, and the more he walked, the heavier he went, the more he dragged. He was very angry, and threw it hard, who knew that he used too much force, "click" a flat shoulder flashed off, two mountains also fell, one became the current "first main mountain", when one fell to the ground, the flat burden folded in half fell from the air on it, pressed two deep grooves, divided the mountain into three sections, bulged up three knots, this is the "temple mountain". The mud blocks thrown off under the feet flew not far away, bulging up a pile, which is the "Kicking Foot Mountain".

The flat burden was broken, and the Erlang God took advantage of the situation to sit down and rest. He was so thirsty that he found a small puddle in the ground, twisted it down with his fingers, and became a well, and Erlang drank it, cool and sweet to quench his thirst. Later, people built the well with bricks and named it "Erlang Well".

Jiro walked not far to the west again, his stomach grunting with hunger, so he found a few stones to support the tweezers and cook, and the ash heaped behind later became a hill, called "Tweezer Mountain".
