It doesn't matter if the chain is sawed off or not, if the cement pier is not dug up, it will be more difficult to dig the pond deeper. It is estimated that the excavators working are difficult to work. I couldn't figure out why he had only sawed off the chains and left the cement pier there.

Uncle Li said: "You don't know, that cement pier is actually less than a finger thick cement, and below it is a stone pillar, the stone pillar is round and deep, I don't know how many meters down." The builder wants to dig it up, otherwise the excavator will not be able to dig the soil underneath, bump into it, and often bump into it. ”

"Stone pillars?" I was surprised. The last time I dived into the water, I saw only three chains fixed to three cement piers at the bottom of the water, and the place below a finger's thickness was submerged in silt. "What stone pillar would be placed under the pond? How can it grow so long that it can't be dug up? You've lived here for so many years and don't know where the stone pillars come from? ”

Uncle Li said: "There used to be a legend here, I don't know if it is related to the stone pillar under the water. ”

I asked, "What legend?" ”

In many places, there are some local legends that are passed down from the mouths of adults and children, but most of the locals regard it as a pastime after tea and dinner, and no one pays attention to it. In my hometown, there is a similar legend that there was a place called General Po where the head of a general was buried, and this general wore a general helmet made of gold. This is where the name General Poe comes from.

Locals often say half-jokingly and half-seriously that if any brainless person really turns the entire general slope over, maybe he can really find a golden helmet, and he won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of his life. But everyone said that, but no one did it.

Later, a survey team came to Jiangjunpo and used various instruments to detect the presence of gold. I guess they also heard about this legend and found it. The detective team was mysterious, and in the end, no one knew if they had dug up the golden helmet. Maybe it was fruitless, or maybe they didn't dare to make a noise when they dug up the treasure, for fear that the local people would find fault and ask for money.

Uncle Li's statement is somewhat similar to the legend of General Poe.

It is said that there is a pond called Champion Pond, where a Champion once drowned. The title on the list is a beautiful thing that many scholars dream of in the imperial examination era, and although the champion can be seen everywhere in folklore, it is more difficult to really win the champion than to pick stars from the sky.

This place produced a champion four hundred years ago. When he returned home, he fell into the water and drowned by a small pond.

This person is the champion among talents, but he has become a water ghost, and he is naturally very angry.

In order to eliminate the resentment of the champion, the government paid for the Taoist priest to do 8861 rituals. But the resentment did not disappear half a point. The water level of the small pond actually rose sharply, flooding more than 300 miles, which is comparable to the flood caused by the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

This matter was known to the emperor of the dynasty. The emperor was furious and thought that although the champion was unwilling, whether he was alive or dead, he should put the community first, so he ordered the local government to change the pension to suppression, remove the three dragon pillars from the main hall of the palace in the capital, and use the dragon pillars to suppress the soul of the champion.

At that time, transportation was inconvenient, and three stone pillars that reached into the sky were transported here from Kyoto, which cost countless manpower and material resources.

After the arrival of the stone pillars, the famous craftsmen of that era made a huge tool similar to a hammer to hammer nails, and "nailed" three stone pillars into the bottom of the pond.
