Legend has it that in ancient Times, the people in puzhou, Shanxi, boiled lake salt and sold lake salt for a living. This livelihood continued until the Song Dynasty. One year, suddenly the water in the local salt lake could not boil salt, but the water was trying to taste salty. The local people were stunned. But no one can explain this phenomenon.
At this time, when the imperial lieutenant Han Qi passed by this place due to military affairs. Due to the gradual darkness, the road to the nearby pavilion is relatively long. He had to stay in a deserted Guandi Temple in the deep mountains and dense forests of this place.
That night, just as Han Qi was drowsy, he suddenly heard someone whispering. But when he opened his eyes, he didn't see anyone else, and the military general Han Qi didn't panic when he saw this, but just calmed his heart and listened to the eight parties waiting for the person who spoke to show his horse's feet... Hearing the truth, Lieutenant Han Qi hesitated again.
It turned out that this voice was not someone else, but Guan Gongyunchang and his deputy general Zhou Cang, who were enshrined in the temple, whispering. I only heard that Zhou Cang said, "Marquis Qi Yu, what do I want to do when I come here today?" Guan Gong next to him said, "Er waited, I don't know, there is an order on the peak of this day, and I heard that Lieutenant Song will stay at the temple in the future, so I was ordered to wait to come to visit, and I didn't want to encounter a strange thing here." Zhou Cang next to him said, "What happened?" Guan Yun said, "It is only because the soul of that clam occupies the salt field here, so that the local people cannot refine salt, so it has caused people's resentment, and I and other temples are sacrificed here, although they are now deserted, but they have been worshipped by the local people for a long time, and they should be considered for the local people." ”。“ What is Hou Ye's brilliant plan? "That week Cangdao." I'll be there for that soul." There was a sudden silence inside the temple. However, Tai Wei Han Qi had long since stopped thinking about sleep.
After half a moment of silence, I suddenly smelled a series of thunder outside. But it didn't rain again, and in the middle of the night I could only hear a sudden gust of warm wind blowing into the temple, and the conversation began again...
"Hou Ye, the soul of that evil beast has now been subdued by you, and the people around the salt pond here will be blessed from now on." Zhou Cang Road.
"It is not yet known, although the soul of this clam was ambushed, but his wife called her a owl, and this owl was extremely fierce, and I failed to subdue her." "So what?! Zhou Cang said urgently. Don't worry, please take my seal letter to Yizhou to spread the word that my righteous brother General Yi de is coming, and the two of us will be able to work together to defend the Demon Dao. "Say it. It was getting brighter. The next day, Lieutenant Han Qi went to the local state capital to tell the story he had heard the night before, and everyone called it a miracle. Of course, there are also some people who don't quite believe. But two days later, suddenly one day the sky was clear and thunderous, and a small hillside at the salt pond was suddenly hit by thunder and caught fire. Without knowing the reason, Han Qi immediately ordered the people by the lake to take water to refine salt, but this time they could finally refine salt, and it was ten times as much as before.
Since then, the local people have become more convinced of This adventure of Han Taiwei, and repaired the Guandi Temple, and erected the statue of Zhang Yide next to Guan Gong, and held an extra pair of iron chains in Zhou Cang's hand, one side of the chain was held by Zhou Cang, and the other end was locked with a section of thunder splitting wood on the Earth Mountain of that day. Since then, the local people have called that piece of wood "salt owl". So that later, all those who did evil on the salt road were called "salt lords".
