This Muwugang Village, which is rarely known, is not a tourist hotspot and maintains its natural beauty.

The foreign backpacker couple was right, this small village, probably speaking, has more than 30 families.

The driver who had dragged them left, and the three of them did not rush into the village, but first walked to the edge of the hillside and came to the river.

There are many places along the river that have direct access to the river. In addition, there is a pier-like place, where two wooden stakes are nailed next to a large rock that has protruded into the water.

On the stake, there is also a small iron boat with a simple motor. However, there was no one on the boat or next to it.

Standing on this boulder, you can see the confluence of the tributary and the Jinsha River on the opposite bank.

This tributary is actually a bit strange. Generally speaking, rivers are the general trend of flowing from west to east, but this tributary is the general trend from east to west, and the specific direction is from northeast to southwest.

This intersection is also a bit interesting. The tributaries are slightly higher in terrain, and at the same time, before joining the Jinsha River, they form the shape of a funnel, and the intersection is the "mouth of the funnel".

From the perspective of Yu Yao and them standing on the shore, the triangle on the left side of the intersection is also a mountain, but the terrain of the river is relatively gentle, although there are also rocky ups and downs, but it is mainly a dense forest, and from a distance, most of the tree species are like yews.

The cone on the right side of the junction is a steep cliff, but the top of the cliff is relatively gentle.

"This place ······" Xiao Ying looked across the river and couldn't help muttering to herself.

At this moment, a round-faced man in a small red trench coat walked over, looking at a man in his forties, with big eyes and a happy face.

When the man saw Yu Yao and the three of them, he greeted him with a smile and said, "You're here to travel, right?"

"Yes, big brother, you're from Muwugang Village, right?" Yu Yao responded. This man speaks Mandarin, although it is not standard, but there is no problem with communication.

"Yes, the ship is mine. The man replied, "It's a fishing ban now, you can't fish, and the boat is generally idle." ”

Yu Yao handed over a cigarette, the man took it, lit Meimei and took a puff, Yu Yao immediately lit one and talked to him.

Originally, according to the regulations, it was closed to fishing from March to June every year. At other times, the man often went to the river to fish.

His fishing tools are simple, iron boats and fishing nets. However, he did not operate it himself, and it required two people, two iron boats, and another shipowner to cooperate. The two boats dragged a dense net, dragged for a kilometer, and the harvest was not small. There is a market in Jindian town where you can sell fish. He often caught a kind of "rock fish", which could be sold for sixty or seventy yuan a catty.

Because it was a fishing ban now, another tin boat did not stop at the river.

"Then you're going now?" asked Yu Yao.

"Oh, I'll go out into the woods across from me to pick some mushrooms, and there's a white mushroom out of the woods, and it's delicious. ”

When Xiao Ying heard this, he immediately said, "In this way, can we pay some money and follow your ship over to have a look?"

"What's the cost! Pulling one person is also pulling, pulling four people is also pulling, and you are not fat. The man laughed and said, "I'm not rowing and rocking oars, I have a motor!"

"How can we take advantage of it in vain, besides, we still want to stay in the village, big brother, you will arrange it, and we will also pay for it." Yu Yao took out two red tickets and stuffed them into the man's pocket.

"How can this be? There is no problem with accommodation, you can also collect money, how can you take a boat?" the man hurriedly excused himself.

Yu Yao will not back down, but the man is very stubborn. pushed back and forth, and finally folded, and the man only received a hundred yuan.

The boat was on the river, and the man was very skilled, and the three of them also communicated with him and learned a lot about the situation.

Muwugang Village is an ancient village of the Naxi people, but in the past 100 years, the scale has become smaller and smaller. Usually the village is mainly old people and children, and most of the young and middle-aged people in the village work in Jindian Town, and usually only come back once a week or even half a month; the man and another fishing partner are two people in the village who rely on fishing for a living.

Because the man fishes and sells fish, he often goes out and walks around, so he can speak Mandarin well, and the old people in the village can basically only speak Naxi and cannot speak Chinese.

"The cliff over there, we call it Tianshui Cliff, and the place where the river meets is called the mouth of the Guan River!"

"Guan Jiangkou, this is the same name as Erlang's divine treasure!" Yu Yao said with a smile.

"This is the Guan River Estuary of Erlang God! These place names are all handed down by the older generation in the village, but they are not blind!" The man said, "Look at this Guan River Estuary, Tianshui Cliff, what an image!"

"Ugh. Yu Yao didn't know how to pick it up for a while.

The legend of the god Erlang in the mouth of the river is very old and extensive. Erlang God is the god of Taoism, the priesthood of Si Shui, also known as the true monarch of Qingyuan Miaodao.

The saying of Guan Jiangkou is still the most affirmed in Dujiangyan Guankou, Dujiangyan was called Guan County before, and Erlang God was also worshiped as the "Sichuan Lord".

Of course, in addition to Dujiangyan Guanjiangkou, there are other folk sayings, such as the Guanhekou at the junction of Guanyun, Guannan and Xiangshui counties in Suzhou Province. This place is not far from Lianyungang "Huaguo Mountain".

However, at the mouth of the Guan River in Muwugang Village, Yunnan Province, Yu Yao, Xiao Ying, and Lin Fengcao are all unheard of.

"Brother, in other places in the mouth of the Guan River, there is usually an Erlang Temple or something, but you don't have anything here!" Lin Fengcao said.

"Isn't Erlang Temple also built later!" the man disagreed, "Our village is all believers!"

When Yu Yao heard this, he couldn't help asking, "Big brother, do you know the Fa Yin?"

The man was stunned, shook his head, and nodded, "I know what you are talking about, it is the identity seal of a Taoist priest, but the people in our village believe in Taoism, but they are not Taoist priests! The man paused, "By the way, this Guan Jiangkou and Tianshui Cliff, as well as our Muwugang, there is also a legend!"

At this time, the boat had stopped at a long boulder by the river outside the woods, where the draft was relatively deep, and the man put the cable around a bulge on the side of the boulder and tied it tightly, and then stepped from the boat onto the boulder, "Get down from here." ”

The three of them disembarked in turn, and Yu Yao then asked, "What legend?"

"This Erlang God, he originally cultivated at the mouth of the Guanjiang River, and the top of Tianshui Cliff was the place where he cultivated. After he became a god, his true body was no longer in this place, but there were still disciples who passed it down from generation to generation and guarded Tianshui Cliff.

In ancient times, there was once a black dragon who wanted to occupy Tianshui Cliff and devour the people living on the opposite side of the mountain. As a result, this black dragon was killed by a disciple of Erlang God for many generations with thunder. His disciple is called Mu Wuzi, so the people living here have the name Mu Wugang in order to commemorate him. ”
