How can you see a rainbow without wind and rain! How can you produce a jade dragon without tempering! There is a dragon king temple, where there is a Guanyin Pavilion!
Chang'e's mother-in-law and Jade Dragon's mother-Lulu, in the 'Commander Suite' of the Xihai Dragon Palace Guest House, told Chang'e about the two reincarnations of life and death before the Jade Dragon was tempered in Tianzigang!
Yulong is gifted and intelligent, and has a super memory. He knows the precipitation and riverbed trend in the Liaohe River Basin well! The Liaohe River Basin spans Hebei River, Inner Mongolia, Jilin and Liaoning provinces. The upper source (west source) is the Laoha River, which originates from the bald head mountain (1729 meters above sea level) of the Qilaotu Mountain Range in Pingquan County, Hebei Province, flows northeast through the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Zhaowu Dameng (Chifeng City), Zhelimu League (Tongliao City) and borders the Naxi Lamulun River near the big elm tree, which is called the West Liao River, and then flows east to the territory of Shuangliao in Jilin Province and turns southward, and is called the Liao River after the confluence with the East Liao River in Fudian County, Changtu County, Liaoning Province.
The Liao River recruits Sutai River, Qing River, Chai River, Pan River, Liuhe River and other tributaries, and originally diverts two strands to Liujianfang in Tai'an County, one flows westward, which is the Liao River, and after accepting the Huanyang River, it is injected into Liaodong Bay in Panpanshan County, Panjin City, and there are artificial channels near the sea to communicate with the Huanyang River; The other flows southward, called the Wailiao River. The Nahun River and the Taizi River are called the Great Liao River, and the business mouth flows into Liaodong Bay.
The precipitation in the Liaohe River Basin is concentrated in June ~ September every year, with large changes in water volume and high sediment content. Floods have been a common occurrence in history. The Liao River freezes for 3 months every year. The upper reaches of the Liaohe River flow through the loess hills, meet the Kundu River, the Yingjin River, the Banghe River, and the Yangguzi River and then flow into the plain below 400 meters above sea level, and reach Changtufudian, which is 882 kilometers long; After receiving the Jiaolai River, a tributary of the south bank, the West Liao River drops to below 300 meters, passes through the low hills of northern Liaobei to the south, accepts the Zhaosutai River, the Qing River, the Chai River, the Pan River, etc., and enters the plain below 50 meters above sea level. To the Stone Buddha Temple, the stone is the middle reaches of the Liao River. 210 km long; The downstream flows through the alluvial plain, and the north bank joins the Xiushui River, Yangximu River, Liuhe Liu, etc., and is 302 kilometers long to the mouth of the Liaohe River.
Yulong once said to his father (Ao Yan) that the Taizi River in the Liaohe River system is the water conservation area in the mountainous area of Liaodong! The Taizi River is one of the larger rivers in the Liao River system. The Prince River runs through the territory of Benxi. The Taizi River was called Yanshui in ancient times. Han called the Great Liang River. Liao is called the Dongliang River. When the Jin Shi called Wulu Hubi Lasha, the Manchu language means the reed river. It is called the Taizi River in the Ming Dynasty and the Taizi River in the Qing Dynasty. Now it is called the Taizi River.
[Narrator] The Taizi River has two water sources: north and south. The source of the south branch is at the foot of the straw hat top mountain of Yanghugou in Dongyingfang Township, Benxi County, and the source of the north branch is Hongyangou in Pingdingshan Town, Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County. The two tributaries converge into one stream at Majiaweizi in Benxi County, meandering westward, passing through Benxi County and Benxi City, and entering Liaoyang City at Waziyu Village, Jiguanshan Township, Dengta City. From Jiguan Mountain to Gujiazi, go westward, pass through 18 townships and towns such as Anping, Xidayao, Shahu, Xiaotun, Wangshuitai, Shaling, Huangniwa, Liuhao, Mujia, Tangmazhai, etc., and exit Tangmazhai, enter the Liao River through the Sancha River of Haicheng in Anshan City, and enter the Bohai Sea from Yingkou. The Taizi River has a total length of 464 kilometers, a basin of 4,000 square kilometers, and an average annual runoff of 2.686 billion cubic meters.
The author adds: Today's Taizi River Scenic Area is located on the bank of the Taizi River in the east of Liaoyang City, with a total length of 3,260 meters from the North Sentry Gate Bridge in the north to the Manshui Pipe Bridge in the south. It is connected to the urban area in the west and Hedong Village in the east, with an average width of 750 meters from east to west and a total area of 240 hectares. The construction of the Taizihe Scenic Area started in 1991 and was opened to visitors in 1992. On the basis of preserving the original vegetation, 4,542 trees of 33 varieties, 7,412 flowers of 14 varieties, and 3 hectares of lawn were planted. Build a 350-square-meter square and a 3,400-meter garden road. There are 40,000 square meters of natural baths, 60 meters of flower stands, 530 meters of fences, and 1,855 square meters of brick roads. There are also round group pavilions, single pavilions, combination pavilions, quadrangular pavilions, hexagonal pavilions, octagonal pavilions and sketch buildings, sculptures and so on. There are also 13 scenic spots such as Yanshui Wohong, "Dragon King Night Crossing" ruins and water yachts, which are for visitors to sightsee, relax, swim and enjoy the coolness.
Today, the "Benxi Water Cave" on the bank of the Taizi River is world-famous as the largest water cave in Asia, and has become a holy place for Chinese and foreign tourists! The formation of the "Benxi Water Cave" is actually related to the Jade Dragon!
Chang'e's mother-in-law and Jade Dragon's mother-Lulu, in the 'Commander Suite' of the Xihai Dragon Palace Guest House, told Chang'e about the two reincarnations of life and death before the Jade Dragon was tempered in Tianzigang!
The origin of "Benxi Water Cave" is that when Yulong was 3 years old, he was born on the bank of the Taizi River with Hong Jun and Hong Jun's son Jade Emperor and Hong Jun's daughter Jiutian Xuannu 'fighting competition'!
Yulong himself didn't know about the "Benxi Water Cave" that was produced by the 'fighting competition' on the bank of the Taizi River when he was young!
The people in the mountainous areas of Northeast China call the place where the mountains and rivers turn 'Weizi'. Xie Jiaweizi, which is eight miles away in the east of Benxi County, leans on the reckless green mountains at its back, faces the water of the Taizi River, the peaks are towering, the clear stream is meandering, the countryside is picturesque, and the weather is thousands. One of the fairyland on earth, the 'Benxi Water Cave' is hidden in the belly of Xie Jiaweizi Mountain.
Benxi is located in the mountainous area of eastern Liaoning, where the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and it is an important water conservation area in eastern Liaoning. However, the origin of the name 'Benxi' has another origin. Benxi gets its name from Benxi Lake. Located in the city, Benxi Lake is less than 15 square meters in size, making it the smallest lake in the world. Don't look at the lake is small, but it is also famous, and has been included in the "Ten Scenic Spots of Kanto". Qing Dynasty (Dynasty) Tongzhi years of the Shi Gao Shengxian book "Liaodong Benxi Lake" carved stone at the mouth of the lake, there is Cihang ancient temple built next to the lake, built in the late Ming Dynasty, Sanskrit incense once flourished. The peaks and peaks around this lake are embraced, the outside is wide and the inside is narrow, very similar to the wine glass made of rhinoceros horn, so it is called 'cup rhino lake', homonym 'Benxi Lake'. Since then, the city has been named after the lake. In 1939, Benxihu City was officially established. After the founding of the People's Republic of China Only then did the word "lake" be removed and named Benxi City. This is off topic, leave it at that!
Benxi Water Cave was originally called Xie Jia Weizi Water Cave, the hole is deep and long, like a labyrinth. There are water holes, dry holes, and outward flow holes. The three caves are one, each with its own wonders.
The Benxi water cave of the immortal carving eagle has a unique scenery and a colloidal dissolution of the landscape. The author's impression of Fu Shiyun:
Gold-inlaid plastered "balsam wall"
Bayonet and sword dance "Hanging Rock Peak"
"Ambergris barrier"
Fountain gushing "Jiuqu River"
Watching the flowers and listening to the waves "Silver Wave Cave"
Pleasing to the eye "Zixiao Palace"
Greeting the guests "two sea eyes"
The famous "One Cave Sky"
[Distant view, close-up view plus close-up] Visiting Benxi Water Cave is a refreshing feeling! The water temperature of Benxi Water Cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the temperature is balanced in all seasons. Boating against the current, the fish soared to the shallow bottom and exclaimed. Wonders and Beauty! When you walk into the hole in the shape of a bucket arch. You can see the spacious 'Zixiao Palace', which is connected to the dry cave on the left and the Yinbo Cave at the mouth of the river on the right. A waterfall gushes down from the mouth of the immortal cave more than two zhang high, pouring into the water hole like the Milky Way, just like a flying spring to welcome guests. Get used to the cool breeze blowing on people's faces. It is refreshing. The dry hole is like a dragon. It is about 100 zhang long. The caves are high and low, wide and narrow, and there are holes in the caves. The winding path leads to the secluded, and the wonders are natural. There is a "sea eye" that communicates with the sea in the cave; There is a "balsam wall" with a fragrant fragrance and golden color; There are "ambergris barriers" formed by touching the ground and touching the sky, wisps of silk, and trickling streams; There are also wonderful scenery such as the "Hanging Rock Peak" on the top of the cave such as ten thousand sharp knives emptying down. Take a leaf flat boat, trace the river along the water hole called "Nine Curved Milky Way", where you go, the clear stream is quiet, there are more than zhang deep, some are as high as several zhang, two or three zhang wide. The riverbank and overhead are spectacular. The boat travels five miles of the Milky Way, goes around thirteen turns, is stopped by the boulder, abandons the boat and wades into the water, the water hole inside is wide or narrow, high or low, the water current is deep or shallow or slow or rapid, high and deep is unfathomable, danger is full of dangers, and visitors have to stop in fear.
Chang'e's mother-in-law and Jade Dragon's mother-Lulu, in the 'Commander Suite' of the Xihai Dragon Palace Guest House, told Chang'e about the two reincarnations of life and death before the Jade Dragon was tempered in Tianzigang!
"Yulong was very naughty and stubborn when he was young! With the connivance of his father, the Dragon King of the West Sea, Jade Dragon learned a lot of kung fu since he was a child! Therefore, Yulong has suffered a lot more than children of the same age since he was a child, and has experienced many more tribulations! But I have a good girlfriend, who is the merciful and clever Guanyin Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva has poured all his heart and soul into the success of the Jade Dragon! The Bodhisattva has always paid attention to and cared for the Jade Dragon in secret! Whenever the jade dragon encounters danger, the Bodhisattva will always help him resolve it in time! When Yulong was 3 years old, he was strong in martial arts, and he broke into the Prince River alone, only fighting with the Jade Emperor's father Wang Hongjun and the Jade Emperor's sister! As a result, the Jade Emperor pressed the mountain under the Xie Jiaweizi Mountain, eight miles east of Benxi County, in the upper reaches of the Taizi River. Jade Dragon's mother, Lulu, said to Chang'e thoughtfully!
"When Yulong was 3 years old, he had already mastered the basic essentials of absorbing and spitting water. One day, Yulong left his master and went to the upper reaches of the Taizi River alone to try the method, and as a result, there was a myth of the 'multi-horned and multi-mouthed' water spray monster and Hong Jun's fighting method in the 'Three Realms'! Guanyin Bodhisattva added to Chang'e softly!
"'Multi-horned, multi-mouthed' squirting monster! Mom, is Yulong ugly when he is young? Chang'e said to her mother-in-law Lulu with her sweet mezzo-soprano!
"'Envoy of the God of Beauty', there is no clear standard for defining whether this appearance is beautiful or ugly. Some mortals have white, yellow, and black skin colors! Mortals with white skin feel that the whiter the skin color, the more beautiful it is! They think that the darker the skin, the uglier it is! And mortals with dark skin and color feel that the darker the skin color, the more beautiful it is! They think that the whiter the skin color, the uglier it is! The Jade Dragon is the forerunner of the evolution from dragons to humans, and his appearance is the most beautiful and beautiful in the dragon clan; In the eyes of mortals, it has become a monster! Because, at that time, the jade dragon had not experienced the cycle of life and death from a dragon to a human! Guanyin Bodhisattva added to Chang'e softly.
"The art is bold! Yulong's debut is earth-shattering! It seems that the hard work of father and mother for Yulong is worth it! Mom, you can continue to talk about the experience of the Jade Dragon and Hong Jun's fighting! Chang'e said to her mother-in-law Lulu with her sweet mezzo-soprano!
"Alright! Chang'e, you all know the Tao now, the wonderful fairy Taiyuan Jade Girl Yujing Mountain in the stone cave at the foot of Yujing Mountain and Hong Jun married and gave birth to a boy and a girl, the boy is called the Jade Emperor; The girl is called the Nine Heavens Xuannu. One night when the Jade Dragon was trying the magic of 'absorbing and spitting water', thunder came from outside the blessed land cave. The vast water was overwhelming, and the people of Li were swept up and down in the waves. Hong Jun and his wife Taiyuan Yunu took their son Jade Emperor and daughter Jiutian Xuannu out of the cave to take a look, only to see a 'multi-horned and mouthy' monster, playing alone with the magic of 'absorbing and spitting water'. This monster that is called 'multi-horned and mouthy' by mortals is the 3-year-old Jade Dragon! Hong Jun was very angry when he saw that the person who caused this flood to the people of Li was just a little-known 'multi-horned and mouthy' monster! Hong Jun thought to himself: The people of Li here, the heavenly beings have been swept up and down in the waves, but you are entertaining yourself with a thick column of water with a height of 100 zhang in your mouth. Whoever has no education is so playful 'young', this immortal has to discipline your arrogant 'young' on behalf of your parents today! So, Hong Jun had a big fight with the Jade Dragon, a monster called 'multi-horned and multi-mouthed' by mortals! Chang'e. When Hong Jun and the Jade Dragon were fighting. I wasn't there, but the Bodhisattva went through the whole process of transforming into a mortal from beginning to end, and then I also listened to the Bodhisattva! Bodhisattva, you can continue to tell Chang'e how the jade dragon fights with Hong Jun! "Jade Dragon's mother, Lulu, said thoughtfully to Chang'e and Guanyin Bodhisattva!
'Good!' Envoy of the God of Beauty'. Then. I changed into a village woman and was swept up in the waves. witnessed the whole process of Hong Jun and Jade Dragon fighting! Hong Jun and the Jade Dragon fight. What is 'the great god teaches the little god'! Hong Jun only used three percent of his divine skills! If Hong Jun really wanted to treat the Jade Dragon as an enemy, he only needed to use eighty percent of his divine skills to control the Jade Dragon to death! If that's the case. Then it won't be your turn to be the 'Beauty God Envoy', and now you can still find the wishful husband of Yulong!" Guanyin Bodhisattva said softly to Chang'e.
"The Buddha once said that I am looking for a jade dragon as a husband, and this is my destined divine fate and marriage! Mom is also destined to give birth to a 'talented, martial arts, and robust appearance' Ruyi Langjun for me! "Chang'e said this to her mother-in-law Lulu and Guanyin Bodhisattva in her sweet mezzo-soprano!
Guanyin Bodhisattva then told Chang'e the whole process of Hong Jun and the Jade Dragon fighting!
Hong Jun originally just wanted to discipline and discipline this arrogant 'young' on behalf of the parents of this 'multi-horned and mouthy' monster, and he was anxious to stop this 'multi-horned and multi-mouthed' monster as soon as possible Don't spit water from his mouth anymore, shouting in his mouth, 'Where is the water monster, the water has become a disaster, Li Min has suffered, don't stop talking, beat!' So he raised his crutches, split his head and hit the jade dragon all the way!
[Distant and close-up] Yulong saw an adult man raising a staff to hit him, and there was no cowardice in his heart! The youthful and aggressive instinct quickly activated the fighting spirit of the jade dragon to the peak! Yulong was indignant in his heart: I am playing in Xingtou, where did the 'monster' come from, indiscriminately, raise a cane and fight! My jade dragon is not a meat dragon that is 'slaughtered by the gods'! If you want to fight, I'll fight with you! Thinking of this, the jade dragon immediately stopped spraying water. Dodging Hong Jun's crutches with his bare hands!
"You're an 'old demon', you dare to compete with my dragon clan's number one god of war, it's really beyond your strength!" While dodging Hong Jun's crutches, the jade dragon shouted and cursed endlessly!
Although the jade dragon stopped spraying water in its mouth, the original water did not recede. Hong Jun hit all the way, the jade dragon dodged all the way, the old and the young and the two gods, one in the water and one on the ground, the two sides jumped and jumped, and the splash was as high as several feet!
As the time of the fight grew, most of the water on the ground receded. It turned out that the people of Li who were swept up in the waves were all standing in the water half waist deep, watching the fight between the old and the young gods with full attention!
Hong Jun is older, larger, and turns a little slower by half a beat. The jade dragon is 'multi-horned and mouthy', with a thin body and flexible jumping. Therefore, Hong Jun's crutches can't "reach" the Jade Dragon! The jade dragon saw the opportunity for Hong Jun to turn slowly, and lost no time in spraying water (including mud water) onto the 'old demon'!
Hong Jun thought to himself, this 'multi-horned and mouthy' monster should be a water dragon. Don't look at his young age, if he only cultivates to such a jumping kung fu, he will become a great weapon in the future!
"Little water monster, look at it, my crutch doesn't have long eyes, if it really touches you, don't cry out in pain!" After Hong Jun finished speaking, he turned the cane into a circle with both hands, jumped into the air with both feet, and covered the jade dragon from top to bottom!
"'Old demon', although your spinning staff technique is good, it is useless to my Dragon Clan's first god of war!" After the jade dragon finished speaking, he stood in place and shook his head and tail, and turned in a circle in the water more than half a meter deep! The jade dragon turned faster and faster, stirring up water waves to form a 'spiral nest' that rotated extremely fast. Due to the extremely fast rotation speed of the jade dragon, the 'force' of this 'spiral nest' rising was extremely great, and it forced Hong Jun's crutches to rotate in the air and couldn't fall down! Hong Jun suspended and rotated; The jade dragon rotates according to the water, and the two evenly matched 'spiral nests' both repel each other and attract each other, just like two extremely fast rotating 'camel instruments'! This landscape made Hong Juntianzi's wonderful wife, Taiyuan Jade Girl, his son Jade Emperor, and daughter Jiutian Xuannu all 'stunned'!
"'Old demon', your trick doesn't work, change it to a new one! This God of War is going to fight you for a hundred rounds today! "Although Yulong called Hong Jun 'old demon', seeing that the 'old demon' was old, he still called the 'old demon' 'you'. It can be seen that Yulong's parents still pay attention to his education, and 'etiquette and filial piety' are the first!
