Legend has it that a long, long time ago, I don't know which dynasty and which generation. At that time, Tatsuda Village was not called Tatsuda, but Tamura. One day, a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky above Tamura, and I saw flying sand and rocks, dark clouds rolling, and in an instant, the wind poured down with the torrential rain. The people of Tamura were so frightened that they closed their doors and hid in their houses and did not dare to come out. People only heard the rain falling heavier and heavier outside, as if the heavenly river had burst its banks. The sky was getting darker and darker, and the pitch-black canopy was about to reach the roofs of the villagers' houses. Bright lightning flashed through the villagers' windows, and the deafening thunder rolled over the roofs of the villagers' houses, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be about to be blown apart. People were terrified and wondered: What's going on? Is the sky going to fall?

How did the villagers of Tamura know that this was the two dragon gods of Yuci fighting. One of these two dragon gods is the Four Dragon Kings who live in Hougou Village, and the other is the Black Dragon who lives in Dragon King Mountain. It turns out that the black dragon of Longwang Mountain is a relatively greedy dragon god, and in order to collect more tribute from humans, he often controls the water source to cut off the flow of the river, or controls the wind and clouds to prevent rain. The Four Dragon Kings of Hougou were very dissatisfied with this behavior of the black dragon. On this day, he found that the black dragon was casting a spell to stop the flow of the river, so he rushed over to dissuade him. Unexpectedly, the black dragon did not listen to the dissuasion at all, and as a result, the two sides fought, causing this raging storm.

The storm did not subside until the second half of the night, and the villagers of Tamura breathed a sigh of relief. Relaxed people soon fell asleep.

It is said that the Yu family lives in the north of Tamura Village, and there is a girl named Yu Shuniang in the Yu family. The sudden storm of this day scared Shu Niang very much, she stayed up until the second half of the night in fear, and heard the wind and rain outside, before lying down with her clothes. Shu Niang was sleeping in a daze, and suddenly saw a young man in white come to him and said to her: "I am injured, now I am lying under the peach tree in your yard, please save me!" Shu Niang was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly opened her eyes to look at the young man. But the light was too dim, and Shu Niang couldn't see the young man's face clearly, and only vaguely saw that the young man was very strong. Shu Niang was hesitating whether to answer with the young man, but when she saw the young man stretching out his hand to pull Shu Niang, Shu Niang hurriedly flashed back. In this flash, Shuniang woke up, and it turned out that she had a dream.

Shu Niang looked around her room, where was the shadow of a teenager. However, the furnishings in the room can already be seen, and it seems that it is almost dawn. Shu Niang recalled the scene in the dream, and secretly thought: "Someone can't really be injured and fall in my yard, right?" Thinking of this, Shu Niang was completely sleepy. She got up and woke up Yahuan and went to the courtyard together.

It was still early in the morning, and the people who had been frightened all night in the storm had not yet risen. Shu Niang and Yahuan came to the peach tree in the yard, and there were no teenagers under the tree at all. Ke Shu Niang always felt that this dream was a little strange, she squatted down to check the leaves and weeds scattered under the peach tree, and found a small white snake lying under the fallen leaves and weeds. The baby snake had a long, deep wound on its back, and it was still bleeding out. Seeing this, Shu Niang hurriedly picked up the little snake with both hands and returned to her embroidery building.

How did Shu Niang know that it was the Four Dragon Kings of Hougou that she rescued. It turned out that in last night's battle, the Four Dragon Kings were plotted by the black dragon and fell to Tamura, and happened to fall in the courtyard of Shu Niang's house. The Four Dragon Kings were originally a white dragon, so he turned into a white snake and hid. The Four Dragon Kings' injuries were very serious, and he urgently needed someone to help him heal. And Shu Niang's bedroom was the closest to him, so he asked Shu Niang for help. Of course, Shu Niang didn't know these inside stories, but she saw the pitiful wounds of the little white snake, so she hurriedly found a cotton cloth to bandage the wounds of the little white snake, fed the little white snake water and food, and finally put the little white snake in a jade plate she loved to recuperate.

Shu Niang's parents were very reluctant when they heard that Shu Niang had raised an injured little white snake on their embroidery floor. But Shu Niang insisted on raising it, and the little white snake didn't look like a poisonous thing, so Shu Niang's parents didn't say anything more. After a few days, the little white snake's wound began to heal and became active. When Shu Niang came to the jade plate, the little white snake would raise its head and nod to her. When Shu Niang finished changing the wound medicine for the little white snake, the little white snake would coil around Shu Niang's wrist and play with her. Seeing that the little white snake is so spiritual, Shu Niang is very happy, and she takes more and more care of the little white snake.

After seven hundred and forty-nine days, the little white snake's injuries were completely healed. On the night of the forty-ninth day, Shu Niang had another dream, and the young man who asked Shu Niang for help last time came to Shu Niang again. I saw the young man bow deeply to Shu Niang and said, "Thank you for taking care of me for so many days." I will remember your life-saving grace and will repay it again in the future. Now that my injuries are completely healed, it's time to go back. Tomorrow if you see the wind outside and the sky is overcast, then I'm leaving. Please hurry up and carry me out into the street, as soon as the rain comes, I can fly away!" Shu Niang could see the young man's face clearly this time. I saw that the young man was not only handsome, but also had a righteous spirit condensed between his eyebrows. Shu Niang couldn't help but feel her heart beating when she saw it, and she didn't know how to respond when she stood there and answered shyly. Then the boy gave her another deep salute, turned and left. Shu Niang was anxious when she saw it, and hurriedly reached out to pull the boy. As soon as her hand was stretched, Shu Niang woke up, and it turned out to be another dream. Shu Niang hurriedly got up and came to the jade plate to check, only to see the little white snake holding his head high and nodding to her earnestly. Shu Niang finally determined that the boy in her dream was the little white snake in front of her. Thinking that the little white snake was going to leave her tomorrow, Shu Niang's heart suddenly swelled with an inexplicable sadness.

This time, Shu Niang couldn't sleep anymore, she held the jade plate in her arms, and stroked the little white snake in the plate with her hand, while waiting for dawn. Although Shu Niang was very reluctant to let the little white snake leave, but thinking that the little white snake could swim freely in the sky from now on, Shu Niang still decided to send the little white snake back. As soon as the sky was dawning, the wind was blowing outside, and then a large cloud of darkness poured in from all directions over Tamura. In the blink of an eye, the sky above Tamura was again a raging wind and dark clouds rolling. Seeing this, Shu Niang hurriedly ran to the street with the jade plate in her arms. As soon as she ran out into the street, the raindrops the size of beans fell. Shu Niang only felt that the jade plate in her hand sank suddenly, and she looked down to see that the little white snake had jumped out of the jade plate. In the blink of an eye, the body of the little white snake has changed from the thickness of the thumb to the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, the length of the body has grown several feet, and the head has also shown the true appearance of a dragon. Although Shu Niang was prepared in her heart, she was still shocked by the changes in front of her. With Shu Niang's exclamation, the body of the little white dragon that showed its true appearance suddenly grew to the thickness of a bucket, several miles long.

Shu Niang watched the white dragon shake its head and tail and take advantage of the wind to fly away. Her heart hurt as if someone had twisted it, and tears filled her eyes in an instant. But almost at the same time, Shu Niang heard the wind in her ears suddenly stopped, and the rain on her head stopped falling. Look at the white dragon again, he lost the support of the wind, struggled a few times in mid-air, and fell straight down. Shu Niang screamed in surprise when she saw this, and hurriedly ran towards the faucet.

The white dragon who fell from mid-air closed his eyes tightly and gasped for breath, and the white dragon's body coiled around the streets of Tamura. Shu Niang ran to the dragon head and knelt on the ground, picked up the dragon head and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Shu Niang didn't know what to do, but she saw a white mist rising from the back of the white dragon's head, and the young man who gave Shu Niang a dream appeared in the white mist, and said worriedly: "This is the black dragon who fought with me to cast a spell to stop the wind and rain, and want to trap me here to death." I've shown my true nature now, and it's impossible for me to turn back into a snake. Please tell the villagers that before the clouds clear and the sun appears, I must cover my body with a straw curtain and pour more water on me. When my body is completely soaked in water, I can fly away. ”

It is said that Shu Niang is a mortal, Bailong is a god, and humans and gods cannot have a direct dialogue. It was only because Shu Niang rescued the white dragon to her embroidery building, and she was with her for forty-nine days, and she was also stained with the fairy spirit of the white dragon, so she could see and hear the white dragon talking. Yahuan, who has been following Shu Niang's side, can't see or hear Bailong's words. Yahuan saw Shu Niang nodding in the sky, and thought she was evil, so she hurriedly shouted: "Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?" Shu Niang turned around and didn't care about explaining to Yahuan, and only said: "The white dragon is trapped by the black dragon, we have to find someone to save him quickly." With that, he hurried home.

Besides, Shu Niang's parents saw a dragon appear on the roof of their house early in the morning, but it fell down again in a blink of an eye. I was in a state of confusion, not knowing what to do. At this time, Shu Niang ran in and shouted: "Daddy, go and save the white dragon!" When Shu Niang's parents heard this, they hurriedly asked what was going on, and Shu Niang roughly explained the original story. When Shu Niang's parents heard this, they blamed Shu Niang, they shouldn't have kept the white snake at home, but now they are causing trouble, right? Shu Niang said: "Daddy, the dragon is a spiritual creature. Usually we don't see dragons, but we have to go to the temple to burn incense and worship. Now that the dragon is at the door of our house but is hiding and not daring to see it, wouldn't it become a good dragon of Ye Gong?" Shu Niang's parents thought about it, it was such a reason. So he instructed his family to take up the straw curtains and buckets at home, and all of them went out to save the white dragon.

But with the grass curtain of the Yu family, it can't cover Bailong's body several miles long. Shu Niang's father called the neighbors to come together to save the white dragon. In this way, ten passed on to hundreds, and finally the people of Tamura came out to save the white dragon. However, the villagers of Tiancun took out all their straw curtains, but they still couldn't cover all of the white dragon's body. So the villagers ran to a neighboring village to ask for help. When the villagers in the surrounding villages heard that a dragon was trapped in Tamura, they also put on their own straw curtains and carried buckets to the rescue. In the end, there are many people and great power, and the straw curtains brought by the people from each village not only covered the body of the white dragon tightly, but the water brought by everyone also merged into a small river around the white dragon.

But no matter how busy the villagers were, the white dragon under the grass curtain did not move at all. Some villagers muttered in private: "We have spent so much effort, why didn't Bailong react at all." Could it be that the white dragon is dead?" someone asked Shu Niang's father with this question. Shu Niang's father couldn't explain, so he went to ask Shu Niang. When Shu Niang heard that the white dragon was dead, she shouted anxiously: "No, no, the white dragon will not die!" He said that his body could not be exposed to the sun, and he would definitely move when it got dark. After listening to Shu Niang's words, people continued to carry water for the white dragon.

Sure enough, when the last rays of the sun disappeared, the straw curtain covering the white dragon suddenly moved on its own. The villagers who saw it shouted excitedly: "The straw curtain is moving, the grass curtain is moving, the white dragon is coming out!" I saw that the white dragon slowly raised his head from under the grass curtain and shook it left and right, shaking off the grass curtain covering his head. Then the body of the white dragon slowly rose from the streets of Tamura, and as the white dragon soared, the grass curtains covering him fell one after another. Seeing the white dragon flying, the villagers present immediately thundered with joy.

The flying white dragon hovered over Tamura for three weeks, and then slowly flew east amid the cheers of the people. When the villagers saw that they had saved a dragon, they screamed and jumped with excitement. Yu Shuniang stood in the crowd, watching the white dragon fly farther and farther, but tears couldn't stop flowing.
