The Legend of the Mother of the Four Dragon Kings of Hougou (2)

After the old couple sent the doctor away, they came back and interrogated their daughter about what was going on. As soon as Miss Wu heard that she was pregnant, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, she was stunned at first, and then she cried loudly, and at the same time kept defending herself, saying that she was innocent. The old couple asked her, how could she get pregnant? Miss Wu said that she really didn't know. Miss Wu's sister-in-law saw this on the side, so she said to the old couple: "Daddy, there is something I can't help but tell the second elder!"

The drying up of the water in Wanghu Lake and the gushing of spring water from the east of Yuanwu Village have been spread all over Yuci, so as soon as Miss Wu's sister-in-law said it, the old couple believed it, but said puzzledly: "Since the demon is gone, you two have been safe and sound for a while, why did your sister suddenly get pregnant?" Miss Wu's sister-in-law said: "Daddy, didn't my sister drink the water in the demon bucket, I'm afraid that the water is a little weird, so my sister will get pregnant." When the martial girl heard this, she hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, when I was crawling by the bucket to drink water, suddenly a round thing choked into my throat, and I was about to vomit, but I was pushed by the demon and fell to the ground, and the round thing was swallowed into my stomach." Could it be that this is the reason?" When the old couple heard this, they also knew the ins and outs of the matter, and sighed: "My daughter's life is so miserable!

The old couple of the martial arts family thought that the most important thing now is, of course, to get rid of the misfortune in their daughter's womb. So they asked the doctor to prescribe an abortion prescription and retrieved the medicine to give the Wu girl a baby. But after taking the fetal pill, Miss Wu took one payment after another, and the fetus just couldn't be beaten. It turned out that what the Wu girl swallowed in her stomach was the hidden treasure in the water of Wang Lake, which contained the aura of heaven and earth, and had been conceived into a fetus in the Wu girl's womb, and ordinary medicine could not be beaten down at all.

Miss Wu's fetus was not beaten, but the news of Miss Wu's unmarried pregnancy spread far and wide, and it became a topic of conversation among the neighbors after tea and dinner. These ordinary people don't know that the martial girl is pregnant with a god fetus, and they only regard it as a thing that violates morals and customs, and uses it to ridicule the martial family.

The discussion in the market slowly spread to Miss Wu's ears, and Miss Wu was worried when she heard it, and secretly thought: "I am an innocent girl, I encountered this kind of disaster for no reason, I was ridiculed and not said, and my parents and family were insulted, who should I tell this grievance?" But as soon as Miss Wu stood under the beam of the house and raised her head, she felt dizzy and fell to the ground as soon as it was dark......

Miss Wu was so confused that she forgot where she was for a while, and vaguely saw an old woman walk up to her, stretch out her hand to help her, and asked, "Alas, girl, what are you doing here? Why do you want to take this road at such a young age?" When Miss Wu saw the old woman as if she had seen a relative, she cried: "Grandma, I really can't live!" As she spoke, she told the story of her inexplicable pregnancy, which caused the neighbors to laugh at her. Unexpectedly, the old woman smiled and said, "Child, you are so great creation!" Miss Wu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Grandma, how do you say this?" The old woman said: "That demon is willing to put so much effort to steal it, it must be a rare treasure, but it was swallowed by you, what is this not your creation?" Miss Wu cried: "Grandma, don't make me happy." Just because I swallowed that thing and gave birth to this misfortune, my family made the neighbors laugh at it and couldn't raise their heads, what kind of creation is this?" The old woman said: "Your neighbors are just ordinary people, where do you know what kind of creation? You don't have to take their words to heart, I tell you, you are pregnant with a divine fetus, not only your family will receive your blessings, but the people of Yuci will also receive your favor! You better go back quickly!" As she spoke, the old woman pushed Miss Wu, and Miss Wu woke up in shock.

Miss Wu opened her eyes and took a look, and found herself lying on her own kang, where was the shadow of the old woman beside her, it turned out that she had a dream. But the vision of the dream was clear in her mind, and it made it hard for her to believe that it was a dream. She hurriedly sat up and searched around, and suddenly saw the Guanyin statue hanging on the north wall of her house and smiled at her. Miss Wu was stunned for a moment, and then understood that this was Guanyin igniting her, telling her not to do stupid things and give birth to the child with peace of mind. Thinking of this, Miss Wu was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned over and went down to kowtow to Guanyin. But she was so excited that she used too much force when she got up, and she suddenly moved the tire.

Miss Wu only felt a pain in her abdomen, she had a premonition that this was a child about to be born, and she immediately thought, "Where should I go to give birth?" Because according to Yuci's customs, a woman cannot give birth to a child in her mother's family, so it is not good for her mother's family. Miss Wu thought, "Anyway, I have to leave the house first!" So Miss Wu was about to go out, and when she came to the door of the house, she thought, "I'm going to go like this, my father, mother, brother and sister-in-law will be very anxious if they can't see me when they come back, how should I tell them?" Miss Wu returned to the house, and saw a red line egg in the basket on the kang, so she picked it up and turned around and came outside the house.

Miss Wu walked to the gate of the courtyard, tied the thread of the red line egg to the door knocker, and then she pulled the red line egg and walked forward. Miss Wu thought to herself: "I conceived this child by the spring in the east of Yuanwu Village, and that is my in-law's family, so I will go there to give birth to a child!" Thinking of this, she went straight to the east of Yuanwu Village.

Besides, Miss Wu's sister-in-law returned home and found that Miss Wu was gone, so she hurriedly turned around and went out to look for it, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and saw the red thread tied to the door knocker, thinking that it must be the mark left by Miss Wu, so she chased down the red line.

Miss Wu's sister-in-law chased her to the spring in the east of Yuanwu Village, and when she saw Miss Wu falling to the ground and moaning, she knew that Miss Wu was going to give birth, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help her deliver the baby. Unexpectedly, Miss Wu gave birth to five round white eggs, and Miss Wu and her sister-in-law didn't know what to do when they saw it. Just when the two of them were in shock, they only heard the five big white eggs make a "click" cracking sound, and in the blink of an eye, five small dragons flew out of the eggshells.

The five small dragons are divided into five colors: green, yellow, red, white, and black, and they grow into a large dragon with a body length of more than one foot after the eggshell grows out of the eggshell. Seeing that the child she gave birth to had grown up, Miss Wu had a relieved smile on her face, and then sat cross-legged. Seeing this, the five dragons let out a long roar in unison, and at the same time circled around the five girls to guard.

Villagers in Yuanwu Village and nearby villages saw a dragon hovering over the spring in the east of Yuanwu Village, and they ran to check it out. They saw Miss Wu sitting by the spring from a distance, and five dragons were guarding her, and they were busy asking Miss Wu's sister-in-law about the reason. Miss Wu's sister-in-law told the villagers in detail about the cause and effect of the incident.

The villagers heard that it was Miss Wu who kept the treasures in the water of Wanghu Lake and gave birth to five dragons for Yuci, so they built a temple in the place where Miss Wu sat to worship Miss Wu and the five dragons. The name of the temple is "Ryuodang", and the spring water in front of the temple is called "Lotus Pond" or "Five Dragon Pond". Since then, Wulong has become the patron saint of Yuci, blessing the peace of this side of the water and soil.

Among them, the old four white dragons and the fifth black dragons still leave a lot of stories among the people. Legend has it that the fourth white dragon finally settled in Hougou, and the fifth black dragon settled in Longwang Mountain in the north of Yuci City. Although the white dragon and the black dragon are born of the same mother, their temperaments are very different, the white dragon is more easy-going and tolerant, while the black dragon is more irritable and severe. Therefore, the folk way of praying for rain to the white dragon is mostly a relatively mild way such as marrying a daughter-in-law, offering food and drink, changing clothes, etc., while the way of praying for rain to the black dragon is mostly a more tragic way for the villagers to carry a guillotine knife and hang iron chains, commonly known as "Wu praying for rain" or "evil praying for rain". Legend has it that the white dragon and the black dragon had a fight near Yuji Tatsuda Village because of their different philosophies, and the black dragon was defeated by the white dragon. After the black dragon was injured and fled back to Longwang Mountain, he foamed at the mouth because of the pain, and the white foam finally turned into a pool of water. To this day, there are still relics such as the Black Dragon Pond made of black dragon foam and the Black Dragon Cave where the injured people lived.

The lotus pond in the east of Yuanwu Village has become a famous spring because of the story of the martial girl and the five dragons, and its fame was the same as the "difficult old spring" of the Jin Temple when it was the most famous. Because when the Wu girl ran away from home and gave birth to Wulong, she was holding a thread egg in her hand, so the folk affectionately called the Wu girl "the thread egg aunt" or "the thread egg girl". In the old days, the women in the villages around the lotus pond washed clothes, and they would rather walk a few miles more to the lotus pond to wash, in fact, washing clothes was secondary, mainly to get a little bit of the blessing of the dragon mother Wu girl.
