Mang Dahan opened a new port overnight

Zhang Tianshi trapped the Black Dragon for ten years

On the east bank of the Li River in Guilin, there are seven peaks, arranged like the Big Dipper, which is the Seven Star Rock. The four peaks in the north are gathered into a square shape, like a bucket, and the main peak is called Qixia Mountain, also known as Putuo Mountain. The three peaks to the south, arranged in turn, resemble bucket handles, and the main peak is called Crescent Mountain. Descending from the crescent mountain pavilion side door stone step, through the newly opened Dangui Rock, it is the Dragon Hidden Cave under the Dragon Hidden Rock. It is said that there was no such rock and no hole before.

Under the rock wall of Longyin, there is a clear river flowing from the Wooden Dragon Cave to the Li River, which flows into the Li River, called the Xiaodong River. It is a fork in the Li River that irrigates thousands of acres of fields on both sides of the river, making the eastern suburbs of Guilin a fertile land. But it is said that this river originally did not exist.

How did you come with this rock, this cave, this river? The story has to start a long time ago.

Words: One year there was a great drought, and the farmland under the Seven Star Rock was dried up into a turtle's back, and the grass seedlings that were about to twin, the leaves were gradually withered and yellowed. In the face of this disaster, the peasants gave their lives to save it, and they all went to the Li River to fetch water to irrigate the fields.

The far field is ten miles away from the Li River, and it takes a long time to pick up a load of water to come back, and a load of water is poured into the dried field, just like pouring into a sieve, and the "squeak" is gone. In order to rescue the seedlings, the farmers had to carry water day and night.

In the end, people are not beaten with iron, so they work hard day and night, they can't rest, the sun is basking during the day, the dew is soaked at night, and before long, many people are tired. Those who did not fall could not support it, pick a shoulder, rest a shoulder, and the grass seedlings could not be saved.

Pick up tired people, sit down by the river and catch your breath. A loose shoulder, the mouth is not idle, sighing, complaining about the sky. Some touched their red and swollen shoulders and said, "Whoever can help me carry a few burdens is good!"

At this time, the moon is hazy; The river was foggy, and the earth was hazy. Suddenly, a big black man came out of the fog and asked everyone, "Folks, are you tired?" Everyone didn't open their mouths, just nodded silently. The big man walked to a bucket of water, casually lifted the flat burden to try it, and said, "How about I pick a few loads for each of you?" Everyone thought to themselves: Where is such a good person? When I looked at this big man, his face was black and his eyes were violent, he had never seen it before.

The black man did not wait for the crowd to answer, put a load of water on his shoulders, and took a big stride. In the hazy moonlight, I saw only a hundred and ten pounds of burdens, on his shoulders, like a lamp grass. The flat shoulder flashed like a gust of wind, walked like a cloud, and in the blink of an eye, he fell into the thick fog.

Everyone talked about this kind stranger and picked up the bucket. Only a few steps away, the big black man had already picked up the empty bucket and turned it back, immediately filled it with water, and chased everyone forward.

That night, the big black man actually helped everyone fill fifty or sixty acres of land. At dawn, the big black man put down the bucket and said, "I'll come back tonight." It disappeared into the thick fog.

The next night, the big black man came again and helped everyone carry water. In one night, fifty or sixty acres of land were filled.

Everyone asked what was the big man's surname? Where to stay? He smiled and said:

"The surname is Dragon. I was born black, and people call me old black. Home? Not far. Everyone thanked him, and he waved his hand and turned around and ran. Although everyone did not know his details, they were very grateful to him.

Although the Great Han came to help carry water at night, there were thousands of acres of arid fields, and the Great Han could not save it for a while. Looking at the grass seedlings in the dry field withering day by day, everyone's faces were covered with clouds of sorrow, and they couldn't stop sighing.

The big man saw everyone sighing, and his heart was not good. He knew that the help he had done would not help much, and a glass of water would not extinguish the fire. I ask you, how can we save this drought? And they said, "Unless it rains right away." The big man looked at the sky, and there was not a single cloud in the sky. He shook his head and said, "It won't rain soon." Even if it rains, it is inevitable that there will be no more drought in the future. A young man said, "Then unless you go from the Wooden Dragon Cave to the mountain, and then open a river." The other continued, "Yes, with such a river, we can set up water wheels and water wheels, and we will not be afraid of it any sooner."

An old man said, "You all ate the ashes of the lamp and grass, and said light words, thanks to the fact that you have this leisure to joke!" Think about it, how big a project is it to open such a river? Even if all of us go to open it, it will have to be three years and five years, and when your temple is repaired, the ghosts will be old!"

Speaking of this, the big man "Huo" stood up and asked, "If you can open this river, then leave this matter to me!" I took care of it overnight.

Everyone looked up at the big man, except for his dark face, a little violent eyes, and a little tall, he was no different from ordinary people. Some people couldn't help but laugh.

The big man blushed with laughter and narrowed his eyes, "What? Don't you believe I can open the river overnight?"

People didn't make a sound. An old man shouted to everyone, "Go! Carry the water and go! Bragging should also blow a side!" With that, I went to carry the bucket.

The black man was anxious, and he grabbed the old man's flat shoulder and shouted, "Put it down!" He turned back to everyone and said, "Go back to prepare the water wheel, and tomorrow morning we will go to the newly opened riverside car water!"

Wherever everyone believed, they took up buckets one by one. The big man was furious, his eyes were like a pair of bells, and he shouted, "Go back!" Everyone was stunned, and then they took the bucket and flew toward the river.

The big man was even more angry, pulled out a flat shoulder, strode up to catch up, a flat shoulder cut towards a bucket, "Bu" sound, the bucket like a knife chopping axe split, Qi Brand-brand-new cut into two sections, the lower half flew out of a few inches away.

The big man picked up the flat shoulder again, and in the blink of an eye, he smashed more than a dozen buckets in a row. Everyone was so frightened that they stopped.

The big man picked up the flat shoulder and shouted to everyone: "Go home!" Go home! Which disobeys, I chop him like a bucket!"

People were forced home by him.

Everyone thinks that this big man is very strange, saying that he is a bad person, and he automatically comes to help everyone carry water and irrigate the fields, do not reward, say that he is a good person, and so rude, without a word, he will play a flat burden.

A good man, wanting to see how he came to open the river, was forced to go home, and then slipped out again, quietly followed the big man, and walked toward the river. When I reached the other side of the Wooden Dragon Cave, in the shadow of the moonlight, I saw the big man crouching down to the ground, and suddenly changed, turning into a black dragon with a head long double horns and a body length of a hundred feet, a bright and shiny body, five sharp claws, standing like a mountain, passing through the sky like a rainbow.

The black dragon hit with its horn, and immediately the wave cracked the earth, and a gap was opened on the shore, and the black dragon rode the waves of water from the wooden dragon cave to the side of the mountain, and where it hit, all of them collapsed and swelled, and a new river immediately appeared.

"Ah yo" a sound, hurriedly turned and ran

The man was half out of breath in shock, went back, and told everyone the strange story door to door. Everyone ran out to see, and sure enough, a clear river, at the Wooden Dragon Cave, separated from the Li River, meandered and zigzagged, surrounded by the Seven Star Rock, flowed to the Chuanshan, and still flowed into the Li River. This area of tens of miles has become a sandbar in the heart of the river.

Everyone was surprised and happy, busy holding incense wax paper candles, running to the newly opened river, facing the black dragon, prostrating their heads and praying, asking him to live in the river and protect everyone forever, and the black dragon nodded in agreement.

Everyone named this new river Xiaodongjiang.

From then on, the fields in this area will not only no longer be affected by drought, but also the Li River will rise and flow, and there will be a diversion of the Xiaodong River, and the fields along the li river will not be flooded. As a result, the region is able to harvest abundantly every year.

Every year after the harvest, the peasants become rich, drink water and think of the source, and every year after the autumn harvest, they must invite the black dragon to celebrate together. The black dragon was no longer seen, but still turned into a black man, and came ashore to drink and have fun with everyone.

There are many banquets in ancient and modern times, and there are not as many harvests as there are happy harvests. The black dragon drank with everyone, and the laughter spread directly to the Li River Water House. The water god of the Li River listened, went ashore to take a look, only to see the black dragon sitting on it, and the people held wine glasses one by one, and this one said: "Black dragon, our whole village is grateful for your kindness, call me as a representative, come and toast you!" The one said, "Black Dragon, we all wear your virtue in Ichigo, push me to toast you!" One cup to the left, one cup to the right, drunk the black dragon. The Black Dragon held up a wine altar and said, "You guys don't talk to me bit by bit, I drink it myself, and drink it on the altar, only then will you be happy!"

When the water god saw such a situation, he was not jealous in his heart. I thought to myself, I am the god of water, these people, all under my jurisdiction, they do not come to sing my merits, praise my virtues, and toast me with wine, but to flatter a wild dragon! The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. I knew that this was all because the Black Dragon had newly opened the small East River and curryed favor with the people. I also thought about this waterway and river, which I was in charge of, and the black dragon did not pass through me, but dared to open the river channel, which was repaid! The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he immediately found the black dragon and said to him: "There are fixed numbers in the waterways under the heavens, and they are contained in the heavens, and you dare to violate the heavenly rules and open the xiaodongjiang without authorization." He also said, "You are pleasing to the people, coveting wine and food, and committing acts of greed." In this way, he said a lot of gossip and forced him to fill in the river immediately. The Black Dragon listened impatiently and said, "I don't know if you violate the Heavenly Rules." I only know that the people need this river, and I hope to have such a river. God was offered the people's cigarettes and should do things for the people. When I opened this river, I only thought that I should do this, but I did not think of anything flattering or unflattering. Now that you want me to fill in the river, I have to ask the people, they say fill it, I will fill it, they say they can't fill it, no one is allowed to fill it! As for the act of embezzlement, I guess I mean how many drinks I had with the people? I had only thought of their adult hardships, and now that they have a good harvest, they should be happy and joyful. I celebrate with them that there is nothing that should not be done. Since you are not used to it, then I will not participate in their celebrations in the future.

The Black Dragon was straight and strong, and the water god was dumbfounded. He has the heart to suppress the black dragon with the power of the water god, but he knows that the black dragon has a strong temperament, and has always obeyed the soft and hard, and cannot suppress him; I want to work hard with him, and I know that the Black Dragon is highly skilled, and I am not his opponent, so I can't help him for a while. But we can't stop there.

Coincidentally, Zhang Tianshi of Jiangxi Longhu Mountain came to Guilin, and the water god prepared an original gift and asked Zhang Tianshi to help get rid of the black dragon. Zhang Tianshi accepted the gift and consulted with the water god, "The black dragon is highly skilled, and if it is in the water, even I am not his opponent." Fortunately, he is a rectum, there is no bend in the stomach, and he can use clever tricks to defeat him. Now, I pretend to be a noble official to cross the border, hand out horse medals to the local government, and restrict the people to build the Nine Stones in the middle reaches of the Xiaodong River within three days. Without Xiao Dongjiang, the Black Dragon would not be able to please the people. The water god said, "Good! The Black Dragon has always disregarded the identity of the gods and is good with the lowly people, and it must not be guarded against seeing that the people are repairing stones. The water god praised it, and Zhang Tianshi went to act according to the plan.

However, he said that the black dragon was in the Xiaodong River, and he heard the noise of people on both sides of the strait, and after a day of making trouble, he was still making noise in the middle of the night. I thought: What makes them unable to rest in the middle of the night? When I went ashore, the lantern torches on the riverbank were illuminated brightly, and the people opened the mountains and hit the stones, and the labor was very tense, and one by one they were all sad and sad. When the black dragon stepped forward to ask, an old man said, "It is said that there are noble officials crossing the road, and the government restricts us to repair the nine stone stones on the river within three days, and if we can't repair them, they will take us to charge the army." Time is so tight, and we don't have the skills of the gods, it seems that we can only be charged!" When the Black Dragon saw that there were already four or five well-laid stone stones on the ground, he said, "Aren't you already halfway through your work?" The old man said, "It is easy to hit the stone, but the difficulty is in The stone stone." The water is so deep, and the stone is so heavy, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do two pounds a day!" The Black Dragon said, "Then leave anything to me about An ShiLei!" After saying that, he walked over to mention the stone. When he brought it up, he felt a little strange, but he was careless and did not mind, and "Bu Tong" was thrown into the river with a sound. The stone stone fell into the river and settled on its own. He went to mention the second one again, and found it a little different, but he only glanced at it and threw it into the river again. It was only when the third stone was mentioned that he was alert, but his brain was not as fast as his hands, and the stone was already thrown into the river. He jumped down the river with him to take a look, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh As if alive, the three stones stretched out protrusively upstream underwater. He was taken aback, and busied himself with splitting the outstretched stone. The top was broken, and the stone was stretched downstream, and he was busy chopping it off again. Seeing that the stone was no longer stretched, I lifted it up to look at it, and saw that there was a note posted below, which had been cut into three pieces, but I could still see the words "Zhang Tianshi's edict". He couldn't help but get angry and scolded, "This demon! I and your river water do not violate the well water, how to use this poisonous scheme, want to fill my small East River, pit the people! I must not spare you!" Scolding and jumping up, he went to Find Zhang Tianshi to settle the account.

Zhang Tianshi was sitting in the water mansion with the water god waiting for the good news, when he heard the black dragon shouting and rushing to come, knowing that the conspiracy was exposed, and hurried to leave. The water god pulled him aside, "What should I do if you leave?" Zhang Tianshi said, "I am a mud bodhisattva crossing the river -- I can't protect myself, and I can't fight him in the water." The water god said, "Then go ashore and go ashore and meet him!" Zhang Tianshi said, "It's not okay on the shore either, this is his lair, and he will gush water." The Water God said, "Then don't worry." The gushing water will flood the people's crops, and he will certainly not gush water. Zhang Tianshi listened, and only then did he settle his mind, jumped on the shore, and headed towards the black dragon.

As soon as the Black Dragon saw Zhang Tianshi, he scolded, "Demon Dao! What's not to like with you? What hatred do the people have with you? Why do you want to secretly apply poison to fill the small East River?" Zhang Tianshi sneered, "Black Dragon, you violated the Heavenly Rules and opened the river privately, and this Heavenly Master is fighting on behalf of heaven!" The Black Dragon said, "All the heavens and the earth are fabricated by you, and I only know that the will of the people is the heavenly rules!" Zhang Tianshi said, "Nonsense!" A sword split, where the black dragon was willing to let go, the two of them showed their magic and fought.

They fought until dawn, Zhang Tianshi was tired and sweaty, breathless, and looking like he was going to lose, when he suddenly saw a stonemason behind the hillside playing with stone mortar, Zhang Tianshi rushed over and said to the stonemason, "Stonemason, is it okay to sell me your stone mortar?" The stonemason looked up and saw that it was an official, and he did not dare not stand up. He said angrily, "You officials and family, don't say buy it from me, you just want it, and I don't dare to say half a word." When Zhang Tianshi heard that he gave, he was overjoyed and said, "Infinite Life Buddha!" With a word from the stonemason and a finger of his hand, the stone mortar flew up and became a large stone mountain, crushing the black dragon inside.

Zhang Tianshi laughed triumphantly and asked Shi Shan, "Black Dragon, do you regret it?" The black dragon said in the stone mountain, "I don't regret it, you don't want to be proud, this matter can't be finished, we'll see you in ten years!"

Since then, by the Xiaodong River and next to the Seven Star Rock, there has been one more stone mountain. The Black Dragon was deeply cultivating inside.

The black dragon could not bear the flood, and that year was another harvest. People didn't know about the Black Dragon and Zhang Tianshi's Fighting Technique, but as in previous years, they prepared wine and meat and waited for the Black Dragon to come and celebrate together. But from morning to noon, noon to sunset, the moon came out, the stars filled the sky, and the black dragon still did not arrive. Gradually, dew rose, and the Seven Star Rock was covered with a layer of mist; The stars have fallen, and the moon has sunk; Still no black dragon arrived. People speculated, "He's probably not home this year!" I had to disperse in disgust.

After the autumn of the following year, people waited for another day and a night, the third year, the fourth year... Still disappointed! In the past ten years, people's hearts have been very heavy, they have not sung, they have not danced, and they have hoped for the arrival of the black dragon every year, but they have been disappointed every year. People asked, "Where has the black dragon gone?" However, who would have thought that the black dragon would be crushed in the stone mountain beside them!

One evening ten years later, the stonemason who had promised to sell the stone mortar to Zhang Tianshi happened to pass by the new stone mountain, and overheard someone calling him: "Master stonemason!" Master Stonemason!" The stonemason stopped to look, and there was no one around, thinking it was his own ear ringing, ignored it, and walked his way again.

"Master stonemason! Master Stonemason!" This time the sound was loud. He stopped and looked around again, and there was still no one, only a pile of rocks, like a ghost with teeth and claws dancing in the twilight. The evening wind blew the dry grass in the crevices of the stones. He couldn't help but snort coldly, and the hairs on his whole body stood up straight.

"Master stonemason! Master Stonemason!"

This time I heard it clearly, and the sound came from the stone mountain. So poignant, so frightening! He thought that some ghost was coming for his trouble, and he flew away in fright.

Some time later, it was daytime, and the stonemason passed in front of the stone mountain again, and he heard someone calling him. Because it was daytime, the sun was shining brightly on his head, and the stonemason's courage was stronger, so he asked, "Who are you?" My stonemason has been honest all my life, I have never done anything wrong, you must not find the wrong person!"

I only heard Shi Shanli say, "Master Stonemason, don't be afraid, I am a black dragon."

"Who?" The stonemason pricked up his ears. "I am the Black Dragon."

The stonemason listened carefully, and sure enough, it was the voice of the black dragon, and immediately stopped his feet, and arched his hand at the stone mountain arch: "Black dragon, it is you!" We've thought about it so hard all these years! Where are you? Why don't you come out?"

Therefore, the black dragon told the stonemason in detail how Zhang Tianshi conspired to block the Xiaodongjiang, how he fought with Zhang Tianshi, and how he was crushed in the stone mountain. He added, "If I had to rely on my true ability, I might not have lost to Zhang Tianshi, but he was very cunning and borrowed the tone of your words to trap me here."

The stonemason thought that ten years ago, an official had indeed come to buy a stone mortar from him, and he couldn't help but regret it very much, and he stumbled and said, "I never dreamed that this was the case, isn't it that I hurt you!" If I had known this, I would have put a knife around my neck, and I wouldn't have agreed to give him the stone mortar. ”

The Black Dragon said, "I don't blame you, you are a mortal, how would you know that there are these things?"

But the stonemason always felt sorry for the black dragon. He told the Black Dragon to wait, and he was going to gather all the stonemasons to open the mountain. Desperate to open the mountain and rescue the black dragon.

The Black Dragon said, "You don't have to bother, this stone mountain can't trap me at all, and what trapped me was the words you said when you said 'give'." Now that you've said 'don't give', I can get out of the way when it's late tonight.

The stonemason's brow suddenly relaxed, and he said with great joy, "Really! Then I will go and tell everyone, prepare wine and meat, and give you a shock. We haven't had a drink together in ten years!" Say it, you're leaving. The black dragon hurriedly stopped him and said, "I just don't want to be alarmed, so I have to wait until the night is quiet before I get out." At the same time, I am also anxious to take revenge, please don't bother!"

Wherever the stonemason listened to him, he said, "No trouble, no trouble." Ran back to the village to deliver the letter.

When everyone heard the news, they were so unhappy that they were busy killing pigs and sheep, killing chickens and scalding wine. As soon as it was dark, he picked it up on the riverbank and waited quietly.

From the time of the black guard to the middle of the night, the handle of the Big Dipper was crossed, and the stone mountain was like a sleeping cow, and there was no movement at all. Some people get tired of waiting and sit down and doze off. Some even suspected that the stonemason was lying.

The golden rooster cried, and a trace of dawn appeared in the eastern sky, and suddenly a thunderbolt on the ground woke everyone up from the dream, and when they opened their eyes, a puff of smoke and dust rushed up from the stone mountain on the other side, and the sand and stones flew randomly, and the black dragon rushed out of the stone mountain riding on the colorful auspicious clouds. He nodded at the people on the riverbank, then turned around and flew east to find Zhang Tianshi to settle the account.

After dawn, the earth and stones no longer flew around, only to see that a large stone cave had been opened in the belly of the mountain, and the river gushed in. Everyone punched the boat into the cave to see, a stone mark on the stone wall on the top of the cave, scales and teeth, twisting and circling, living like the shadow of a dragon, this is probably the traces left by the black dragon being pressed in the stone mountain.

In order to commemorate the black dragon, people call this stone mountain Dragon Hidden Rock and the cave called Dragon Hidden Cave. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, this cave could still be used for boats. Later, the bottom of the cave was silted up by silt and had become land, but the stone marks on the top of the cave were still there, lined with water erosion ripples, like the shadow of a dragon, as if the black dragon was still there!
