Besides, Liang Xing and his wife worked here, and they didn't know that they had spent more than ten spring and autumn periods, and their lives were rich and satisfying. But there are two things that have not been satisfactory: one is that he is over half a hundred years old and has no children under his knees; The second is that the fruit trees planted in the early years have all blossomed and borne fruit, but the green plum is still green and green, and there is no flowering and fruiting.

One day, they were fertilizing the green plum pine soil on the mountain, and suddenly found a pony lying there in the depths of the plum forest, and hurriedly walked up to take a look, only to see that the pony was seriously injured, and when they saw them, they tried to struggle up and escape, but it was not helpful at all, and they fell down again with a "porphyry". Seeing this, Liang Xing thought to himself, God has the virtue of a good life, and saving the horse's life is also better than building a few levels of floating slaughter. So, with the medicinal properties and medical skills learned in the mountains for more than ten years, he hurriedly found mountain herbs to heal the pony's wounds, and the lady also cut the tender green grass to feed the pony. After careful treatment by Liang Xing and his wife, the pony quickly healed his injuries. With gratitude, Pony bowed to Liang Xing and his wife a few times, and then reluctantly left.

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and a few years have passed in a blink of an eye. At this time, Liang Xing and his wife were over the age of six, and their physical strength was not as good as day by day, and they felt very difficult to work, and they were worried about how to live in the future. One evening, when they returned home from the fields, they smelled the smell of food wafting from the kitchen. So, I hurriedly went in and opened the lid of the pot to take a look, only to see that the pot was already cooked snow-white rice and a plate of meat and vegetables, and suddenly felt so strange, and asked the people nearby but said that they didn't know, hesitated for a while, because they were hungry, so they began to eat. This was the case for several days.

In order to solve this mystery, on this day, they specially returned home an hour early. As soon as I arrived at the house, I saw smoke rising from the kitchen, and when I looked through the kitchen window, I saw a young man cooking on the fire. They immediately pushed the door in, and the man was too late to avoid it.

Liang Xing and his wife stepped forward to ask, "Who are you?"

At this time, the man looked at Liang Xing and his wife kindly and said, "Don't be afraid, I am the pony you saved in your early years, in order to repay your kindness, my parents want me to recognize you as a godfather and godmother." Now that you are all old, let me honor you. After speaking, he knelt down to Liang Xing and his wife, and said, "Please accept the gods." ”

Liang Xing and his wife hurriedly helped him up and happily recognized Ma Er, his godson. Later, Liang Xing and his godson lived like a family until they died. Their last words before they died: they want their godson to find ways to make the green plums on the mountain blossom and bear fruit for the benefit of one party.

After the horse finished his death for his godfather and godmother, in order to realize the last wish of his godfather and godmother, he stayed day and night, braved the scorching sun, braved the cold wind, walked all over the mountains and old forests, visited famous gardeners, and went through many hardships, but never found a good solution.

On this day, it is another Soul Breaking Qingming Festival. The horses braved the light rain and came back thousands of miles away to worship their godfathers and godmothers.

He placed offerings in front of the tomb, picked up a few dry branches next to the tomb, lit them, and inserted them in front of the tomb to worship...... Thinking of all the hardships and so far unable to fulfill the last wishes of my godfather and godmother, I couldn't help choking in my throat when I was sad, and I actually cried loudly.

Besides, what the horse had just lit was not an ordinary branch, but a rather precious sandalwood branch. At this time, I saw a fragrance accompanied by a cry rushing straight to the nine nights, alarming the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Palace.

When the Jade Emperor learned about it, he decreed that the Hundred Flowers Fairy would help the horses. After receiving the decree, the Hundred Flowers Fairy collected the aura and fairy dew of heaven and earth, and led the holy water of the Yao Pond in the sky to sprinkle here. The green plum was watered by the aura of heaven and earth, fairy dew, and holy water, and in the harsh winter season of that year, snow-white flowers bloomed one after another, covering the mountains and fields, and the white expanse was boundless. There is a poem as evidence: "There is a plum on the mountain, and Ling Han blooms alone." I know that it is not snow, but there is a dark fragrance. ”

It was spring, when the other trees were blooming, and the green plums were already crushing the branches. When the plums were ripe and the people came to harvest with joy, the young man was gone. People were moved by this event, so they called this place "Marin Mountain", or "Marin" for short, as a memorial.

Later, the Tang Dynasty poet Du Wei also came here, and left a good sentence to praise the beautiful scenery of Tianlu Xianyuan: Tianlu Mountain area, everywhere people everywhere plum. In the cold winter season every year, the plum blossoms of ten miles open, white as snow, the fragrance is overflowing, and it is magnificent.

Later, I don't know which glacial crustal uplift, it actually lifted this mountain proudly for hundreds of miles and split it into several sections; I don't know which inexhaustible dragon vein of the ancestors turned this place into mulberry field, until it was divided into the current Malin, Fengshan, Dalang, Caotian, Shuilang, Xishui and other villages, which are uniformly called "Gongcheng"; And the small river that flows endlessly at the foot of the mountain is called Gongcheng River.

It is said that there was a glacial landslide in the Malin area, which turned this place into several villages, and the longan and yellow bark planted by Liang Xing and his wife in the early years have disappeared, but the green plums are scattered on the mountains in this area, under the mountains and in front of the village, and the plum blossoms are still smiling in the winter (east) wind, and they are fruitful every year.

After listening to this beautiful story told by Liang Yulian, Huineng has more love and nostalgia for this place.

Huineng has a special preference for plum blossoms, thinking that planting plums here, the flowers of the green calyx plum that grow out will definitely have a petal of ice and jade, like Zen heart as fine and dusty, ethereal and flawless, looking at the past will make people distracted thoughts disappear.

Huineng took a fancy to this beautiful place, and whenever he had free time every day, he and Liang Yulian came here to plant plum trees.

The land is fertile, the water is abundant, and the light is excellent, so those plum trees grow fast and well.

The mountain people of Tianlu Mountain love the plum tree very much, and they believe that the plum tree is the plum kernel left by the immortals such as Tie Guan Li when they came to Tianlu Mountain to hold the Hundred Fruit Banquet and absorbed the aura of heaven and earth.

Under the leadership of Huineng, the mountain people planted plum trees in a large area on the mountain, and it didn't take long for the plum trees on Tianlu Mountain to be all over the mountain.

In the season of plum blossoms, up and down the mountain, a piece of white is boundless, like white clouds falling to the earth. The mountain breeze blows, the fragrance of plum blossoms ripples, intoxicating, it can be said that the mountain people are living in the sea of flowers, the world of incense, and they are at ease. On the other hand, when plum blossoms fall and plum trees bear fruit, countless green plums hang on the branches, and the fruits bend the branches.

At that time, most of the people here used ripe green plums as fresh fruits. Later, Hui Neng guided them that the harvested plums could be soaked in wine or sold as preserved fruits. In this way, the plum tree has brought them a lot of tangible benefits.
