Folk tales of the lower reaches of the Yellow River: Li Shenxian and the Immortal Cave, is there really a god in the world? One way of saying it is Daughter Road. The second theory is called the Tibetan Army Cave

I ask you a question, are there any gods in this world?

Today I will tell you a story about the gods

The story takes place in Lijin County, a small county town in the lower reaches of the Yellow River

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, in Lijin County, there was a very famous Li Shenxian

Li Zuoxian, one of the famous four sages in Lijin County, is a descendant of Li Shenxian

Li Shenxian's real name is Li Dengxian, and there is a clear record in the Lijin County Chronicle that this person read Zhou Yi since childhood, and once sat in the Hongxu Temple version during the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Jiupin minor official in charge of the imperial court ceremony.

After the death of the Ming Dynasty, he traveled in all directions to visit Xianxun Dao, and at the age of 83, he was feathered and ascended to heaven, buried in Majiajiahe Village, and the imperial court set up a monument to commemorate his cemetery, which is a cultural relics protection unit of Dongying City.

The ruins related to Li Shenxian, in addition to his cemetery, there are also Li Shenxian Cave.

There are two legends about the Li Shenxian Cave:

Legend has it that Li, the immortal specially built a secret passage for his daughter, the east side through the small street and the west side through the three hood order.

Legend has it that Li Shenxian's daughter looks like her mother

As the old saying goes: a girl follows a woman, and a gourd climbs the wall. Li Shenxian's daughter, who looks a little ugly: hemp face, oil basket waist, a pair of big feet (at that time, small feet were popular, big feet were very ugly)

The daughter has an aunt, the family lives in Hedong Xiaojie Village, there is a cousin, the name is peach blossom, it is said that people grow more beautiful than peach blossoms. The relationship between the two cousins is very good, either the peach blossom comes, or the ugly girl goes, and after three days of not seeing, I want to panic.

Such a handsome and ugly, the two girls are together every day, which naturally causes people to point and gossip.

After a few years, Li girl got married, the in-laws live in sanlizhuang in the west of the city, this son can be bitter Li girl, from the in-laws to the mother's family need to pass through most of the Lijin City, along the street shops those tricky guys, see Li girl will take her to shabu,

Therefore, every time Aunt Li returned to her mother's house, she would cry and cry

Later, when Li Shenxian saw his daughter, he came back from his in-laws' house and cried, and he also cried when he came back from his aunt's house, and he couldn't bear it in his heart.

Say to your daughter: Child, don't you cry, they laugh at us, don't we just let them see it?

Aunt Li said: If they don't see it, why should I go and play with my cousin? I came to live in my mother's house.

Li Shenxian said: This is not difficult, for the father has his own way.

At night, Li Shenxian made a fa, he equipped the little clay people with shovels to carry baskets and carts, and sent them to dig tunnels, cross the Yellow River to the east, dig into the small street, and lead directly to the embroidery house of the peach blossom.

To the west, it crossed the county seat of Lijin to Sanlizhuang, the ugly girl's room

In this way, without knowing it, a magical tunnel was dug.

In the Li Shenxian Cave, there is a lampstand a few steps away, and there is no need to add oil, the light is always on, the ugly girl is tired of walking, there is a small kang to sit on. When you are thirsty, you have well water to drink

From then on, the ugly girl went to her mother-in-law's house to live in her aunt's house, and she was no longer afraid of other people's jokes.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" > the second term is called the Tibetan Army Cave</h1>

After the Qing army entered the customs, it destroyed the Ming Dynasty. Li Shenxian lobbied around, calling for the anti-Qing dynasty and restoring the Light, and secretly recruited troops to prepare for an uprising.

When the imperial court found out, they ordered them to be arrested, and Li Shenxian took the people and ran back to his hometown from Hebei

The Qing army quickly chased after them, and Li Shenxian had no choice but to cast spells overnight, and in his own home, in his room, he dug this Tibetan army cave, hid the thousands of people he brought silently, and when the limelight passed, he gradually released the Tibetan soldiers in the cave.
