"Well... Good... Okay, Miss Lan, I'll talk about it?"

"Ahem... Cough... Ahem"

It is said that there were two proverbs a long time ago: "There are no monks in Dongchang City, and there is no oil mill in Jinan City!"

"It is said that there were one hundred and eight springs in Quancheng back then, all of which were natural, and before the rainy season, each spring would continue to emerge with clear underground river water, the most famous of which was Baotu Spring in Quancheng!"

"Because Quancheng is known as having lakes on the ground and rivers underground, there are dozens of dark river veins of all sizes densely covered in the underground of Quancheng, which continuously supply drinking water to Quancheng all year round, day after day, year after year without interruption!"

"A hundred years ago, there were thousands of oil mills of all sizes distributed in the city of Quancheng, squeezing oil and sesame juice, when the mill opened for business, the whole city would waft out a faint fragrance, with the wind blowing, the fragrance permeated every corner of the city!"

"There was a spirit living in Shadowless Mountain in Quancheng back then, it was a snake spirit that had been cultivated for thousands of years, and every time the oil mill opened for business, the fragrance would drift to the snake spirit's cave, and the refreshing fragrance made the snake spirit yearn for it!"

"Although the big snake likes it, but because he is a spirit of cultivation, he can't rely on his own mana to snatch it, so he has no choice but to smell this fragrance and sigh every day, and one day he has to meet a god passing by in the mountains!"

"The fairy saw that the snake spirit was pious, and did not hurt innocent people because of his own preferences, so he helped the snake spirit come up with an idea, at that time, Quancheng was surrounded by mountains and woods, and there were often fierce beasts appearing to hunt the chickens and ducks of the farmers!"

"What's more, it will attack passers-by, and the gods told the great snake that if you want mortals to love you and not be afraid of yourself, then you must use your magic power to help the nearby villagers eliminate the harm!"

"Beat away all these beasts that plagued the people, so that the villagers will be grateful to the big snake, and then they will also take out their own sesame oil to worship the big snake, and after the big snake heard it, he thanked the gods, and then came to the woods outside the spring city!"

"After months of using his own spells, the big snake has driven away a number of spirits and beasts that often do evil again, and also acts as the patron saint of mortals, and the villagers at that time often took some home-made sesame oil to worship the big snake in order to thank the big snake!"

"Since then, all this has been peaceful, but in the end all this is still not worth people's greed, I don't know when there is a legend in Quancheng that the meat of the big snake on the Shadowless Mountain can live forever after eating!"

"All of a sudden, the people of the whole city are boiling, this temptation is too great, they have long forgotten the rescue of the big snake back then, the whole city worked together to make traps and highly poisonous sesame oil, and on this day the villagers went to the snake cave under the leadership of the local mage!"

"The big snake was defenseless against the villagers, and in the face of the food brought by the villagers, he ate it all without thinking, and then was deceived by the villagers and said that there were fierce beasts coming down the mountain, and the big snake didn't realize that there was a fake, and followed the villagers down the mountain!"

"But the traps that were waiting for the big snake on the way were indeed arranged one after another, because the big snake had eaten the poisonous sesame oil given to him by the villagers before, and the traps continued one after another, and the big snake soon lost his strength!"

"The villagers used all kinds of snake catching tools prepared to kill the big snake without physical strength mercilessly, and robbed the skin and flesh of the big snake madly, leaving only a pile of white bones, no one restrained it, and threw the corpse into the wilderness!"

"After the death of the big snake, the original god out of the body was unwilling, and the resentment went straight to the heavens, and all the unjust souls floated to the South Heavenly Gate, and happened to meet the gods who let themselves help the villagers, and the big snake cried that the gods were wrong, and their kindness not only failed to help themselves, but they brought the disaster of killing for themselves!"

"When the fairy heard about the big snake, he was also very angry, and he came to the sky above Quancheng with the soul of the big snake, and found that every household was cooking snake meat, not only shaking his head and sighing, but the world's seven emotions and six desires can't escape a greedy word!"

"In order to punish the greedy people in the city, the gods cast a spell so that all the oil mills in Quancheng could not grind the fragrant sesame oil, and there were many water veins in the underground river of Quancheng, and there was a diversion point, so the gods lit the big snake and became the river king of this river vein, controlling the water veins of Quancheng!"

"Taking advantage of his own advantages, he has to cut off the water to Quancheng twice a year as a punishment, and the big snake has since become the river king of the underground dark river here, and at the same time, because the underground river water is used to polish the sesame oil, plus the gods have a spell, and from then on, Quancheng can no longer grind the sesame oil with fragrance!"

"The mill can't grind sesame oil, it loses its value, in order to live, the people of Quancheng can only give up the mill and look for other occupations to make money, since then, there has been no oil mill in Quancheng for thousands of years, and Quancheng has two droughts every year, and even the spring will dry up!"

"This may be the principle that good causes and good results, good fortune depend on each other, no matter how great the kindness, no matter how heavy the friendship, it can't withstand the greed in people's hearts, greed makes people terrible, lose their minds, and lose their courtesy, faith and benevolence!"

"And there is no monk in Shuicheng is indeed formed because of a small allusion, it is said that during the Northern Song Dynasty, there are monks in Dongchang City, there is a large-scale "Temple of Mercy and Grace" in the northwest corner of the city, hundreds of monks in the temple, and more than 100,000 volumes of Tibetan scriptures!"

Continuing to the Ming Dynasty, the incense in the temple was more prosperous, and an iron bell weighing tens of thousands of catties was cast, and the tower was built to hang, so there was one of the eight major scenery of Dongchang called the "Grace Bell!"

"It's a pity that later, the temple accidentally caught fire, burned a magnificent temple into a white ground, can not be rebuilt for a while, the monks in the temple are also scattered, the old abbot of the temple Master Zhikong vowed to travel all over the world, ascetic fundraising, must rebuild the Temple of Mercy and Grace!"

"The old abbot went through a lot of hardships, traveled all over China, and finally raised a sum of money, returned to Shuicheng after 20 years, and planned to rebuild the temple on the old site, but never expected: at this time, the old site of the Temple of Mercy and Grace has been full of people's houses, and it is impossible to build a temple!"

"The old monk mobilized the people to demolish the house, and he couldn't convince them, so he had to move Chengzi to the mansion to fight a lawsuit, because his money was not easy to get, and he wanted to keep it for the purpose of building a temple, and he was reluctant to take it out to fight the government, and the lawsuit was lost!"

The old abbot was so sad that he was bedridden, and when the old monk was sick and groggy, he suddenly saw the three Buddhas enshrined in the temple appear in front of him, and read the following words to him:

"Pure karma Vinaya, Lai Ru Zhongxing, don't bind the old land, you can go to the east of the city, go to rest and rest, no longer stay, in the city in the future, let him plume!"

"The third Buddha recited, and gave the old abbot a golden pill, let him swallow it in his abdomen, and then left, the abbot of Zhikong woke up in shock, and the sick body was cured immediately!"

"Obey the Buddha's decree out of the city, come to the canal bank of the place name "Longwan", rebuilt a big temple, named "Jingye Zen Forest", since then, only the Taoist temple in the water city and no monk temple!"
