2, Dragon King of the West Sea

The legend of the Dragon King of the West Sea

More than 1,300 years ago, there was a beautiful sea at the foot of the Tien Shan Mountains, commonly known as the West Sea, known as Bosten Lake.

On the west coast is a vast grassland, where herders of all ethnic groups live and thrive. With their industrious hands, they made the grassland herds of cattle and sheep, flowers bloom, and people lived a carefree life.

One year, there was a sudden drought, the grass died, the cattle and sheep died, and people could only sigh as they looked at the boundless West Sea.

After the news of the grassland drought reached the heavenly court, the Jade Emperor immediately assigned Qingsharon to the West Sea to relieve the drought.

After being ordered, Qing Sharon led his family to fly down to the West Sea for nine days and came to the West Sea, where he was known as the Dragon King of the West Sea. After inspecting the drought situation, Qing Sharon immediately presented a piece of music to the Jade Emperor and asked for water. At that time, the whole world was suffering from a terrible drought, and other rivers and seas could not be rescued, so the Jade Emperor could only order the Dragon King of the West Sea to solve it on the spot.

The Dragon King of the West Sea had no choice but to swallow two-thirds of the water of the West Sea in one go, and then flew into the sky to bring the water down to the grassland. Regardless of the safety of his Dragon Palace, Qingsharon absorbed water and rain, so that the Qianli grassland was saved, but the West Sea has since become a small lake, which is now Bosten Lake.

The grassland was saved, and in order to commemorate the exploits of the Dragon King of the West Sea, the herdsmen built a temple on the estuary island of the Tongtian River and sculpted the full-body statue of the Dragon King of the West Sea. Although the temple is far away from the residential area, the herdsmen still go to worship incense day and night in order to thank the dragon king for his grace.

The Dragon Queen of the West Sea is a very virtuous and beautiful woman, she wholeheartedly assists the Dragon King of the West Sea, and is quite loved by the herdsmen. But because she was overworked, she still had no children in the blink of an eye. Because of this, the dragon king often lost his temper with her and became angry. The dragon queen recalled the love with her husband in the past, and saw the dragon king snub to herself, and she couldn't feel sad and wept.

One day, the Dragon King of the West Sea was distressed by the childlessness in the Dragon Court, when suddenly, the Yaksha of the Patrol brought a young woman. said that she spied in the Dragon Palace, specially arrested, and sent to the Dragon King for treatment.

When the dragon king saw that this woman was beautiful, his soul suddenly flew into the sky, and he was eager to look for it, so he immediately drank back from the Yaksha, and ordered Caibu Dragon Palace to accept this woman as a concubine.

When the dragon queen heard that the dragon king had taken a concubine, she went to the main hall to visit. As soon as the dragon queen arrived at the main hall, she saw that the hall was full of mildew and mist, and a brilliant crystal palace was already full of demonic spirit. She walked into the palace and looked at the woman carefully, only to find that all the demonic energy in the hall was emanating from this woman.

In order to ensure the safety of the Dragon King, the Dragon Queen said to the Dragon King with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty the Dragon King, you and I have been together so far, and you are as kind to me as a mountain, even if I go to the Nine Springs, I will not forget it." Today you like to accept a new concubine, and I am very happy. It's just that choosing a good couple is not child's play, and I hope that Your Majesty will ask about the origin of the new woman before marrying it is not too late. ”

At this time, the Dragon King of the West Sea was already fascinated by the woman, and he couldn't listen to the words of the Dragon Queen. The demon girl also knew it for a long time, and pretended to say to the dragon king: "Your Majesty, since the dragon queen can't tolerate me, the foolish girl will go by herself." When the dragon king saw that his concubine was leaving, he sent his resentment to the dragon queen, and immediately made a big deal of the dragon case, and ordered the dragon queen to be driven out of the main hall, and announced that the dragon queen would never return to the dragon palace.
