Rumors, rumors, no records, the history of the Turtle Temple can be traced back to the Han Dynasty BC, and there is some connection with the great general Huo Quai. I won't say much about Huo Quai's deeds, a god-like character, a fierce general, a lifetime of fighting horses for the Han Dynasty, and died young after the most descent, and the famous man has been famous for a hundred years. When Huo Qubing expelled the Xiongnu, Lanshui City was an important border town, and it was also the largest town in the northwest, with a population of hundreds of thousands.

The blue water was built on the Yellow River, and it can be said that the water of the Yellow River nourished the people of the blue water. The Yellow River in BC is different from the Yellow River today, the river is wide, the water flow is turbulent, a bit of the meaning of the Yangtze River, and the flood season every year, it is Wang. A piece of Yangze country.

N years ago, there was a story that there was a big turtle in the Yellow River, which was the river god of the Yellow River, and whenever the big turtle lost its temper, it would flood. Whether others believe it or not, the locals believe it, and also call the big turtle a turtle, every year in the flood season, a grand "turtle sacrifice" activity is held, beef, mutton and pork are thrown into the Yellow River as if they don't want money. At that time, it was no less productive than it is now, and more than N people starved to death every year. However, the people of Bluewater City are still very generous to the Turtle River God.

Besides, you can't be generous! As soon as the tortoise loses its temper, it floods your fields and your land, and even your house is flooded.

As for the true face of the turtle, not many people have seen it. What you really see, it's still much deader.

The turtle, the turtle, is embodied in a mystery, like the gods, which ordinary people can see if they want to see it.

One year, General Huo Da chased the Xiongnu to Lanshui City, which was the season when the Yellow River flooded, and it was also a major flood that had not been encountered in ten years. The Xiongnu are north of the Yellow River, and if General Huo wants to fight the Xiongnu, he must transport troops across the river. The Yellow River Bridge or something, at that time, there was no such thing, and I didn't have the ability to build it.

At that time, the border general of Lanshui City warned Huo Qubing that the Yellow River could not be crossed, and people would die. Huo Quzhi was willing to listen, and even ridiculed the superstitious thoughts of the "commander" of the border defense.

General Huo Da is a popular person next to Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, don't look at his young age, his prestige and power are not comparable to the border generals.

On a stormy afternoon, Huo's army was about to cross the Yellow River, with tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and the scale was unprecedented. There are many soldiers and few boats, and they must not cross the river together, they must come in waves. The first group of 2,000 men crossed the river without a hitch. But in the second wave, something went wrong. The Yellow River, which was already turbulent, suddenly roared like an angry roar, and the waves were turbulent, and the heavens and the earth were discolored, crushing all the boats crossing the river, and more than 2,000 officers and men who were crossing the river all fell into the water, and more than half of them died. And there is a shadow of a giant turtle in the giant Lang of the Yellow River, which is black, and it is no problem for a few buffaloes to stand on it and graze. At that time, Huo Quzhi stood on the shore and commanded the soldiers to cross the river, and witnessed this scene with his own eyes.

At this moment, Huo Qu believed it.

The frontier general of Lanshui City walked up to Huo Quai, sighed, and said, "I told you a long time ago that the Yellow River can't be crossed in this season, and if you don't listen, how can you do it now?" ”

"Catch the giant tortoise and avenge the dead and wounded officers and soldiers!!" Huo Quzhi said coldly, and there was a domineering aura in his voice.

"The giant tortoise is a river god and cannot be caught. And the giant tortoise is in the Yellow River, how did you catch it!? ”

"Your sister's river god is just a thousand-year-old king, who catches it."

At that time, Lanshui was the people's strong protest against General Huo's "turtle hunting operation", and it was a street demonstration, a banner, and even a report to Liu Che to Liu Che about Huo Quai's illness.

What General Huo Da has to do, no one can stop it, and the turtle catching operation has been running in an orderly manner.

Huo Qu's disease is Huo Qu's disease after all, his ability is obvious to all, his mind is open-minded, and his head is flexible. In the Yellow River, the giant tortoise is the boss, and it can't be fought hard. Huo Qubing found another way, using beef and mutton as bait, and stuffed the belly of the cow and sheep with crane top red, arsenic, I love a piece of firewood, half a step of madness with a smile, and other poisonous horses, and finally poisoned the giant tortoise to death.

Of course, there must be a story of twists and turns, and that's the end of it here. In short, there were many difficulties, and Huo Qu caught the giant tortoise after he was most ill.

When hundreds of officers and soldiers dragged the half-dead giant turtle to shore, everyone was shocked. I'll fuck it, can I not be so big, the turtle's head alone is bigger than an old buffalo, and there is still room for an adult sow to be stuffed into its mouth.

The giant tortoise is not a giant tortoise, in front of humans, he is the four-legged king.

What about the Millennial King Ba? What about the 10,000-year-old turtle? Humans say it's like playing to kill you.

Superstitious thoughts, or not!!

After the death of the giant tortoise, the Yellow River really gave birth to a lot, so the Huo family army crossed the river smoothly and defeated the Xiongnu army. There seems to be a story of "sealing the wolf Juxu" in the back, which has nothing to do with this article, so I won't talk about it.

Later, the people of Lanshui dug a pit to bury the giant tortoise, and built a temple on it, called the Turtle Temple, which is worshiped every year.

The common people of China, pious!!

Immediately after that, some more evil things happened, and the townspeople living near the turtle face were generally short-lived, and they were frail and sickly, and they could live to the age of fifty even if they lived a long life, and many of them had miscarriages in their mother's wombs.

At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, when Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was in power, a wandering Taoist came to Lanshui City, and under the guidance of the village cadres, he visited the Turtle Temple in a friendly manner.

At that time, You Fang Daoist was dumbfounded, and goosebumps were all over his body, because the yin qi of the Divine Turtle Temple was too heavy.

But where does this yin energy come from?

Interlaced like a mountain, where can ordinary people see this thing of yin qi? You Fang Daoist told the residents living near the Divine Turtle Temple that Wang Ba, who was buried under the Divine Turtle Temple, was not dead, but was cultivating. The reason why the residents near here lived a short life was because the essence was sucked by Wang Ba.

There are still a few or two Taoist walkers, and they set up altars and dojos. After the ritual was completed, it was not over, and the Taoist carved another stone tablet, on which many scripture runes were carved and blessed with Taoist spells.

The scriptures and runes are all bird characters, and the bells and whistles are messy, and ordinary people can't understand them. The stele was not erected in front of the temple, but buried in the temple.

Not to mention, since then, the residents near the Turtle Temple have been in good spirits and have a long lifespan.

The above is just a legend, it should not be true, if this is true, how can there be no historical records? However, there must be wind for nothing, at least there must be wind! Let's take the legend of the Blue Water Turtle Temple into two or eight opens, two points true, eight points false.
