The origin of Funiu Mountain

But it is said that during the Qin Dynasty, there were many people in our country and there was little land.

In some places, crops have to be planted on stone slabs, and the food harvested is far from meeting people's needs, and many poor people often go hungry.

The government either arrested or looted money and food, and the people had no way to live, and there were rebels everywhere.

A traitor in the court came up with a crooked idea: "Your Majesty, people in the world are prone to right and wrong, so it is better to kill more people." When there are fewer people, there will be enough food to eat, and the people will not rebel. ”

When Qin Shi Huang heard this, he felt justified, so he sent someone to cast a 10,000-pound iron ox, and asked the officers and soldiers to pull the iron ox to the people's homes.

And stipulated: Whoever the iron ox pushes to, it is limited to three days to push it to another house, and if it can't be pushed away, the whole family will be killed!

This 10,000-pound iron ox has become a man-eating beast, and wherever it is pushed, the people everywhere will cry.

One day, 10,000 catties of iron oxen were pushed to the door of a widow's house in Runan.

The widow held a doll that was not full moon, looked at the man-eating beast, and saw the three-day deadline, so she had to cry and wipe her tears.

was crying, and felt someone pat her: "Don't cry, I'll show you a way to live." ”

The widow looked up and saw that it was an old man with a white beard, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

The white-bearded old man showed something, shiny like an embroidery needle.

He blew on the needle and said, "Change! ”

In the blink of an eye, the embroidery needle turned into a whip.

The old man said, "This is called a mountain whip, and it is a treasure." On the third watch tonight, you take it and hit the iron bull three times to keep your mother and son safe. ”

After speaking, the golden light flashed, and the old man was gone.

At night on the third watch, the widow quietly got up, picked up the whip of the mountain, and struck the iron ox.

Hey, the 10,000-pound iron bull is really shaking!

The widow was overjoyed and surprised, closed her eyes, and snapped! Syllable! Two more times, the iron bull first shook for a while, then shook three times, and walked faster and faster.

Because of the force, the mountain whip was poked into the cow's buttocks!

The iron bull walked and swayed, and the mountain whip was thrown from side to side, until the mountain whip was thrown off, and the iron bull slowly stopped moving.

The next day, the officers and soldiers found that the iron ox was missing, so they came and forced the widow to ask.

She told the white-bearded old man about it.

As soon as the officers and soldiers heard that there was a treasure, they hurried to chase it. found the mountain whip and hurriedly dedicated it to Qin Shi Huang.

Qin Shi Huang got the whip and hurried to drive the 10,000-pound iron ox, who knew that no matter how the whip was wielded, the iron ox just didn't move.

Seeing this situation, Qin Shi Huang couldn't help but feel a little furious in his heart, and thought, "Maybe this is the heavens warning me?" ”

From then on, Qin Shi Huang no longer dared to kill the common people with a 10,000-pound iron ox pit.

With a whip to drive the mountains, he drove many mountains on the land into the sea, and reclaimed the land for farming, which was also a good deed.

Since then, 10,000 catties of iron cattle have been left in Henan, and for a long time, it has become the current 800-mile Funiu Mountain.

It is said that the white-bearded old man who sent the mountain whip is the platinum star in the sky.

Seeing that Qin Shi Huang had killed too many people, in order to save the people, he sent the treasures to the world.
