Why do you carve so many dragons, this has to start with a legend.

It is said that in ancient times, the era of the Zhurong tribe.

At that time, Zhu Rong was very smart, and he found that if two stones were violently hit and rubbed, sparks would appear, so that he could make fire. He reported this discovery to the Yellow Emperor.

In order to reward him, the Yellow Emperor gave him an official position, Zhenghuo Guan, and sent him to guard the south.

Zhu Rong came to the south and lived in Hengshan.

He taught the local people how to make fire. The people soon learned that they roasted and ate on fire, and they used fire for lighting, and when wild beasts attacked humans, they used torches to drive them away. The fire brought convenience to everyone, and the people lived a good life because of it. Everyone is very grateful to Zhu Rong and has great respect for him.

One day, Zhu Rong gathered all the leaders of the various clans in the south together, distributed the fire to them, and asked them to keep the fire well. But Zhu Rong didn't know how to preserve the fire, so he just told everyone to bury the fire in the ground and not let it go out.

Who knew that after a while, the fire burned, and it burned more and more, making the entire Nanyue underground a raging fire. The fire beneath the ground burned hot, the flowers and trees died, and the water in the rivers boiled...... Everywhere was scorched, there was no way to grow crops, everyone had nothing to eat, they were hot and hungry, and they were all sluggish, and they couldn't stand steadily.

There is a dragon son who lives in the Xiangjiang River not far from Hengshan, and the Dragon Palace is like a steamer at this time, so hot that he can't stand it, so he has to ask his father who lives in the South China Sea for help.

Xiangjiang Longzi wrote a letter and sent his cronies to the South China Sea. The Dragon King of the South China Sea received his son's letter and learned of his son's current situation, and was extremely anxious.

But this Nanyue is thousands of miles away from the South China Sea waterway, as the saying goes, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, how should this be good, the turtle prime minister next to him stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it's better to do this, let's first turn the sea water into air, turn it into clouds, and blow it to Nanyue, when the clouds turn into rain, it will rain for three days and three nights, and then talk about emergencies." ”

The dragon king felt that he had a point, and hurriedly sent someone to the sea, and in this way, the water in the South China Sea was completely lowered by three feet and three inches.

However, the water rained down by the dragon king can only temporarily relieve the heat on the ground, but cannot solve the fundamental problem, and the fire under the ground is still burning.

Not long after, the Dragon King of the South China Sea came to Nanyue to inspect and saw that there was water in a hundred miles of Nanyue, and the houses of the common people were soaked in water, and people ran to the top of the mountain to take refuge.

The water flowed on the ground, but there was still fire underground, and the earth was still like a steamer. The Dragon King of the South China Sea saw that the rain he poured had no effect, not to mention how sad he was.

He couldn't think of any good way to think about it, and then Xiangjiang Longzi said: "Father, as the saying goes, if you have something to ask the three elders, maybe the people will have a way, we might as well ask them." ”

The dragon king thought about it, and there was only this way. So he took on the form of a human and became an old man, and Ryuko became a retinue and followed him towards the village.

The father and son of the dragon king walked from the front mountain to the back mountain, from the east mountain to the west mountain, and asked when they met the old man.

One day they came to a col and saw an old man with gray hair chiseled a stone. This stone is very strange, only to see a hole on the left and a hole on the right, like a big honeycomb.

The dragon king was very strange, and stepped forward and asked: "Old man, what are you doing here" The old stonemason raised his head, looked at the brightly dressed old man in front of him, sighed, and said: "Alas, you are a foreigner, recently we have suffered a disaster here, and it is a fire and a flood, it turned out that the earth was roasted by fire, and then the dragon king put out the fire for three days, but the fire was not extinguished, but caused a flood." Look at it, it's steaming all over the place. ”

The dragon king looked at the surrounding land and said helplessly, "Is there no way?"

The old stonemason replied slowly, "Well, it's not impossible. ”

When the dragon king heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Old man, do you have any way" The old stonemason glanced at him, shook his head and said, "It's useless to say it, unless the dragon king comes in person." ”

The dragon king was in a hurry, and suddenly changed from human form to dragon form, and said: "Old man, I am the dragon king, please hurry up and sue me, I can save everyone." ”

The old stonemason didn't expect that the person in front of him was the dragon king, so he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The dragon king has appeared, and we have been saved." ”

After speaking, he took the stone he had just chiseled and said to the Dragon King, "Look, this is the model of Hengshan. There are a total of 36 holes in Hengshan, the back hole leads to the front hole, and the front hole is connected to the Xiangjiang River.

Just send a few dragons and garrison them in these caves to draw the water from the sea to the mountains, so that the earth fire can be subdued. ”

When the dragon king heard this, it really made sense, and immediately did what the old stonemason said.

The old stonemason saw that the dragon king was so enthusiastic and generous to mankind, so he gave him the model of Hengshan that he had worked so hard to hew.

As soon as the Dragon King of the South China Sea returned to the Dragon Palace, he hurriedly gathered all the eight hundred dragons from all over the world together, and everyone discussed the method of governing Nanyue together.

The dragon king told everyone the words of the old stonemason, and asked, "Save the people from fire and water, is anyone willing to go to such a good deed?"

Therefore, the dragon king selected some dragons with strong spells, sent them to Nanyue, and ordered other dragons to help as long as Nanyue needed water in the future, no matter who it was.

In this way, Nanyue came to a lot of dragons at once.

Qinglong lives under Qinglong Bridge, Huanglong lives in Huangsha Pond, Black Dragon lives in Heisha Pond under Lotus Peak, and White Dragon lives in Bailong Pond under Jixian Peak......

The rest of the dragons, some live in the Water Curtain Cave, some live in Luosi Pond, and some live in Jiulong Spring......

In short, wherever it is needed, there is a dragon to guard it.

Summer is coming, Nanyue is extremely hot, the dragons will flick their tails, attracting dark clouds, lightning, and then, the heavy rain pours down, in this way, every pool, hole, is filled with cool rain, the heat dissipates, Nanyue also cooled.

In winter, when it snows, the ground is covered with ice, and people shiver with cold. At this time, the dragon lay motionless on the ground, letting the earth fire emit hot air, roasting every pool and hole hot.

Therefore, for so many years, Nanyue has always been warm in winter and cool in summer, and everyone likes to live here.

In order to thank the dragon king and the dragon for their great kindness, people specially built a Nanyue temple, and in front of the main hall of the temple, carved a big dragon with white marble.

The dragon is carved like a living one.

In addition, on the wall, on the pillar, and on the altar, people have carved a lot of dragons, no more, no less, just 800, in order to commemorate the exploits of the 800 dragons to protect Nanyue.

However, the model that the old man gave to the Dragon King was actually the Zhu family's Xiaoding.

This Xiao Ding was brought back to the Dragon Palace by the Dragon King.

As one of the nine guardian families in China, the Zhu family has no family heirlooms, how will they protect Wanshou Ding in the future!

So, the Zhu family came up with another solution.

This method has something to do with the current longevity tripod......
