Chapter 44: Siguniang Mountain
Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area is a world natural heritage, a national scenic spot, a national geological park, a national nature reserve, a world heritage site of Sichuan giant panda habitat, and one of the top ten mountaineering mountains in China.
There are 52 snow peaks above 5,000 meters above sea level, and the main peak is more than 6,000 meters, which is not too difficult for Hu Qi and Li Zhangmu, so they go up as normal tourists!
I heard that in July and August every year, the mountains are full of flowers, and you can go down to the ditch to feel the coolness of the water of the snow-capped mountains. From mid-October to mid-November, Siguniang Mountain is intoxicating in autumn and can take the most beautiful photos. However, they just happened to go in September, and they successfully staggered the two most suitable times!
The majestic white snow also has a flavor!
After the two of them looked at the scenery, they also took a look at the giant pandas by the way, and when they returned to their residences, they almost thought it was dusk!
"Did you find out? I saw that you looked very closely!" Hu Qi said to Li Shumu!
Li Yumu replied, "It's like a big formation, but this formation is a bit too big!"
Hu Qi smiled and said, "This is a big array! I remember that on the ridge on the right side of the 10 kilometers in the Shuangqiao Ditch, there is a place called the Sun and Moon Treasure Mirror adjacent to the Five Colors Mountain!
Remember that there is a treasure in Taoist legend called the Sun and Moon Mirror!
Let's go first! Let's go to the relevant department first, and ask him to take us to an old Tibetan man and listen to the story tonight!"
So Li Xumu took Hu Qi to stop and go, and finally found a yard not far from the scenic spot!
After knocking on the door, a young man in Tibetan costume came out, and just when Hu Qi was worried about what to do if he couldn't understand Tibetan, the young man spoke standard Mandarin!
"Who are you looking for?"
Li Xiaomu didn't speak, just took out the documents of the relevant departments and lit them up, and the young man immediately took Hu Qi and them in!
As soon as he entered the door, a bold Tibetan man was embodied in front of Hu Qi and Li Shumu!
Long hair, voluminous clothing, sparse beard and a bold smile!
"Hello, my name is Nima Tashi Dorjee, just call me Tashi! This is my son Dachi!" he said, pointing to the Tibetan guy who opened the door to Hu Qi and them before!
"Hu Qi!"
"Li Yumu!"
After the introduction, Tashi told his son to get some food!
Tibetan hot pot is made from yak bones, with yak meat unique to the region, Tibetan pork slices, etc., plus wild mountain mushrooms and various vegetarian dishes boiled together, accompanied by various medicinal herbs.
Anyway, it's called a cool one!
While eating nonsense, they began to understand the situation!
"About a month ago, there were herders who reported that their cattle and sheep had died unexpectedly, and that their blood was sucked dry," Tashi said.
At first, it didn't cause much impact, but later a similar situation was found on the snow peak, but this time it was not livestock but people, living people, although people who went to climb the snow mountain would always die, but the blood in the whole body was dried up and the heart was gone!
If it weren't for the timely lockdown, I'm afraid the panic would have spread, and Qimei Peak was rated as one of the top ten mountaineering mountains in China that were opened to the outside world, and it would not have been suddenly closed, so I reported it immediately!"
After listening to this, Hu Qi thought about it, "The blood in the whole body is drained, and the heart is also gouged out!"
Tashi nodded to "Yes!"
Hu Qi continued: "How much do you know about the legend of Siguniang Mountain!"
Tashi said, "I know a little bit about this!"
Hu Qi said: "Let's hear it!"
Legend has it that in a very distant time, a young man named Alangbayi married a girl from a neighboring village and gave birth to four very beautiful daughters. Among the four girls, the most beautiful is the fourth girl. When she was 16 years old, she already had a figure that made Yang Liu envious, a pair of eyes that made the stars jealous, and a face that made wildflowers ashamed to open up.
Soon a demon named Maldora came from a foreign land, and every month he had to eat a person's heart and drink a person's blood before his emotions could be calmed. When he heard that Arambayi had four beautiful daughters, he wanted to take them as his wives and concubines.
He learned that Alang Bayi was the protector of Zhangmu Village, so he often coaxed the Tianhe River to flood when the mountains were green and the water was green. In order to defend his homeland, Arambayi resolutely engaged in a long-term fight with Mardora. Soon after, Arambayi was killed by the Demon King's clever plot while fighting the Demon King Maldora, and lost the Sun and Moon Treasure Mirror, which scared the Demon King.
When the four girls heard the news, they were determined to avenge their father, and she traveled to all the sacred mountains in the Jiarong region, asking them to teach her how to subdue the demon king, and she went to all the temples, learned how to deal with the demon king, and defeated the demon king several times with her wisdom and wisdom, and won a long peace for Rilong Town.
But the demon king was not reconciled, he deceived the jellyfish in the sky, and let the jellyfish rain a lot in the town, and the people were not at peace. The four girls are determined to fight the Demon King to the end and defend their homeland, just like their father.
When the three sisters fought with the demon king and were unable to resist, the three sisters turned into three mountains together and pressed on the demon king's body. But the magic power of the demon king is boundless, and seeing that the three sisters can't hold it down, the four girls take back the sun and moon treasure mirror and arrive.
She transformed into a majestic mountain, pressed firmly against the Demon King's chest, and then threw the Sun and Moon Treasure Mirror into the air, turning all the snow into a thousand years of ice and snow, driving the Demon King to death.
In the end, the four girls exchanged their lives for the peace of the Zanla River, so that every grass, tree, mountain and water here is full of spirituality.
When the villagers saw the four lively and lovely girls standing tall in front of them in a blink of an eye, they couldn't help but lose their voices in pain and fell to their knees. Since then, on the fourth day of the fifth lunar month every year, people have to gather at the foot of Siguniang Mountain from all directions and come to Guozhuang Ping to hold a grand and grand mountain worship ceremony. This custom has been passed down to this day and has become an annual pilgrimage meeting. ”
After saying that, Tashi took a sip of water and said, "This is just one of them! There are several similar legends!"
Hu Qi said, "Let's hear it, or find the oldest man here and listen to him!"
After listening to this, Tashi pondered for a while and said, "Okay!"
Then Tashi said to his son Tachi on the side, "Go and invite Uncle Ngapoi Ngawang Jincai over, saying that he is a distinguished guest and invites him to drink with him!"
With that, Tashi stood up and said to Hu Qi and Li Yumu, "You sit down first, I'll go get some wine!"
After a while, a large portion of appetizers, dried beef and a few large jars of barley wine were cut off!
Looking at this dry beef that was about the size of a table and a wine jar bigger than his head, Li Shumu touched his stomach and was a little unwilling, "Brother Qi, I'm afraid I won't be able to go down!"
Hu Qi didn't even look at Li Yumu, his eyes stared at the dried beef and said, "It's okay!
It is estimated that he saw Hu Qi's gluttony, Tashi laughed and said, "Brother Qi, let's eat first!" After speaking, he took a large piece of consumable beef and began to eat!
Seeing this, Hu Qi was not polite, shouted yes, and began to eat!
Dried yak meat is a selection of fresh storage yak meat, this kind of air-dried meat looks hard, but in fact, it is a crispy and fluffy taste to eat.
After a while, Li Yumu, who couldn't eat, also began to eat!
After about a few minutes, this uncle named Ngapoi Ngawang Jincai finally arrived!
This Ah Pei Da said that he looked extremely thin, I don't know if it was because of his wide face, but his long hair was tied up, which was relatively dry, and there were deep wrinkles on his blackened face!
When the uncle came in, he first got along with Hu Qi and Li Xumu, but the uncle spoke Tibetan, and Hu Qi and Li Xumu couldn't understand it, if it weren't for Tashi translating Hu Qi and Li Xumu, they would only giggle!
So the group began to eat and drink, and finally, after another good meal, Ngapoi finally began the story he had heard!
"A long, long time ago, there was a handsome young man named Alang Bayi in Rilong Town who married a girl from the next village, and the two gave birth to four lovely and beautiful daughters together, the most beautiful of which was the fourth daughter, when she was 16 years old, she had an excellent figure and a bright face that was enviable. The three sisters are also very fond of her, and the relationship between the four is very good.
However, not long after, a demon named Murdo came from a foreign land, and he was very vicious, and he would become angry when he saw something green. He had to eat a person's heart and drink a person's blood every month before his emotions could slowly calm down. Every summer, he would dry up all the crops in the village, making it impossible for the villagers to survive.
Later, when there were four beautiful girls in the village, he wanted to take them for himself. However, the father of the four girls, Alang Bayi, is the protector of the village, for the peace of the village, and the demon Murdo launched a long-term struggle, and finally the father of the four girls unfortunately died, and the sun and moon mirror to deal with the demon was also lost, after hearing the news, the four girls were grief-stricken, and they were bound to report for their father* to protect the people of the village.
Living in the same village with the four girls, there is a carpenter named Yangqing Darji, since childhood and the four girls are childhood sweethearts, the two have no guesses, the two gradually have feelings, in a fight with the devil, with the help of the carpenter to repel the demon, the relationship between the two is getting better and better. Who would have thought that one day, the demon deceived the jellyfish and asked the jellyfish to give rain to the village, and the four girls decided to fight the demon to the end, and finally the three sisters were all killed by the demon, and all turned into mountains to suppress the demon.
But the power of the demon is strong, when it can't be supported, the four girls retrieve the sun and moon treasure mirror, turn into a mountain and press on the devil's chest, throw the sun and moon treasure mirror into the air, its snow all turned into a thousand years of ice and snow, the four girls finally defeated the demon and turned into a majestic mountain. The carpenter who heard the news wanted to see the four girls for the last time, but it was too late. In the end, he became disheartened and turned into a white cloud, surrounding the top of the mountain of the four girls, expressing his eternal love for the four girls.
To this day, that cloud is still waiting on the mountain peak, and legend has it that it is not easy to see the true faces of the four girls, if there is fate, the clouds will disperse, and people will be able to see the beauty of the four girls."
