A piece of folklore about the Pauline lamp

Legend has it that there is a Snow Reflection Palace at the foot of Mount Hua, and there is a Three Virgins enshrined in the Snow Reflection Palace. The Three Virgins have a magical magic weapon - the lotus lamp. This Baolian lamp is the incarnation of the five-colored divine fire used by Nuwa Niangniang to mend the heavens, and it has infinite mana.

In the past, the people at the foot of Huashan were often harmed by the miasma, and many people and livestock died every year, but since the three virgins came to Huashan and used the Baolian lamp in her hand to disperse the miasma, people lived a normal life. The Three Virgins stayed in the Snow Ying Palace, and she dispelled the miasma for the people and asked for fortune. No matter what difficulties the people at the foot of Mount Hua encounter, they will go to Xueying Palace to ask for a sign to solve their worries. The fame of Xueying Palace is getting bigger and bigger, and many people come from far away to ask for a sign.

On this day, a scholar named Liu Yanchang came to the Xueying Palace, he passed by here when he entered Beijing to catch the exam, and heard that the Xueying Palace asked for a good sign, so he wanted to ask about his future. It just so happened that the Three Holy Mothers went out to the banquet on this day, so Liu Yanchang begged for three sticks in a row, but they were all empty. Liu Yanchang was angry, so he wrote a poem on the wall, scolding the Three Holy Ladies for being a liar, and then waved his sleeves down the mountain. When the Three Virgins returned from the feast, they were very angry when they saw the poems on the wall. She summoned Lei Gongdian and the mother, and it rained heavily, drenching Liu Yanchang into a chicken in soup, and breathed a sigh of relief for herself.

Liu Yanchang braved the heavy rain, sprained his foot again, was in a hurry, and fainted in the rain. The kind-hearted Third Lady couldn't bear it, she hurriedly conjured up a house, and asked Yahuan Lingzhi to help Liu Yanchang to rest in the room, so that he could live and recuperate. Liu Yanchang's handsome appearance and outstanding literary talent deeply attracted the Three Virgins.

The Three Virgins unknowingly fell in love with Liu Yanchang. Soon, the Three Virgins and Liu Yanchang became husband and wife under the guidance of Yahuan Lingzhi.

In the blink of an eye, autumn has arrived, and Liu Yanchang is going to enter Beijing for the exam. At this time, the Three Virgins were already pregnant, and when Liu Yanchang was leaving, he handed over a piece of ancestral agarwood jade to the Three Virgins, and told him that if he gave birth to a child, he would be called agarwood.

Not long after Liu Yanchang left, Xiao Agarwood was born. His chubby face, red mouth, and black hair are endearing. The sisters of the Three Holy Mothers were clamoring to make a full moon wine for Agarwood, and many people came at once, and the Xueying Palace was very lively.

It just so happened that on this day, Erlang God's howling dog flew through the air, it smelled the smell of meat, couldn't help but descend the clouds, and went into the Snow Ying Palace to find food, and happened to hear the conversation in the Snow Ying Palace, and it hurriedly went back to tell the master Erlang God.

Erlang God is the elder brother of the Three Holy Mother, and when he heard that his sister ignored the rules of heaven, married a mortal, and gave birth to a child, his lungs were about to explode, and he immediately led the heavenly soldiers and generals to catch the Three Holy Mother. Erlang came to Xueying Palace in a rage, and the Third Holy Mother begged her brother to fulfill her relationship with Liu Yanchang. But where is Erlang God willing to listen, and he insists on taking the Third Holy Mother to see the Jade Emperor. There was no way, the Three Holy Mothers had to take out the Baolian lamp to protect themselves.

After the defeat of Erlang God, he sent the Xiaotian Dog to quietly steal the Baolian Lantern and came to Huashan again, only then did he catch the Three Holy Mothers and crush her under Huashan. The ruthless Erlang God also wanted to throw the agarwood into the valley and fall to his death, but fortunately, the thunderbolt immortal passed by the valley and saved the agarwood. The Thunderbolt Immortal brought the agarwood back to the Immortal Peak where he lived and taught him skills. On the other side, Liu Yanchang went to Beijing to catch the exam, and won the top prize, and the emperor made him a big official. As soon as the prime minister saw that Liu Yanchang had a bright future, he wanted to marry his daughter to Liu Yanchang.

Liu Yanchang rejected the prime minister, the prime minister lost face, angry, he sent people to chase and kill Liu Yanchang, Liu Yanchang fled all the way, and happened to be rescued by Thunderbolt Daxian and sent back to Huashan.

Liu Yanchang couldn't find the Three Virgins on Mount Hua, and he was very sad, so he stayed at the foot of the mountain and waited for the return of the Three Virgins. Sixteen years have passed, and Agarwood has grown into a beautiful young man.

He has learned a lot of skills, he can make guns, swords and knives, and he will change seventy-three!

When Thunderbolt Daxian saw that he had learned the martial arts of agarwood, he told him his life experience. When Agarwood heard this, she was so anxious that she immediately bid farewell to her master and go to save her mother.

Perak said, "Don't worry, kid. You must first find the Lotus Lamp and then the Divine Axe in order to split Huashan and rescue your mother. ”

"Where's the Pauline Lantern? Where's the axe?" Agarwood asked anxiously.

"The Baolian Lantern is your mother's treasure, and now it is hidden in the Zhenjun Temple of Erlang God, you have to think of taking out the Baolian Lantern, and then go to Kunlun Mountain to find the Divine Axe."

"Why don't you let me go straight to the Divine Axe?" That was the divine axe that Pangu used to open the heavens and the earth, and it was guarded by three very powerful gods. "These three gods have very strong mana, and you must have the help of the Lotus Lantern to get the Divine Axe." ”

"Knowing Master, no matter how hard it is, I will find the magic axe!" After Agarwood finished speaking, he set off.

Agarwood came to the Zhenjun Temple of Erlang God. There is an underground palace under the Zhenjun Temple, which hides all the treasures of the Erlang God. It's really big here, and the agarwood has been walking for a long time and hasn't come to an end. Finally, he bypassed the guards and stole the Lotus Lamp.

Agarwood was so proud that he ran out of the Zhenjun Temple with the Baolian lantern. But as soon as he ran to the door, he saw a fierce man with three eyes, Erlang God, coming back.

Agarwood and Erlang God fought, and after a few rounds, Agarwood was not Erlang God's opponent at all, he was so tired that he couldn't lift his arm, and he was almost cut by Erlang God. Suddenly, the Baolian lamp in his arms emitted a strong light, bounced away Erlang God, and flew away around the agarwood.

Agarwood got the Baolian lantern, was full of energy, and walked towards Kunlun Mountain. There is an ice cave on Kunlun Mountain, the cave is full of ice that has not melted for thousands of years, and the extremely powerful axe is hidden in the ice cave. However, no one has ever been able to get out of the ice cave alive. Agarwood bravely walked into the ice cave. The cold ice seemed to suck the heat out of Agarwood's body, and Agarwood felt that she was about to freeze.

"Give up, kid." Said the god who guarded the axe. "No, I must save my mother and never give up!" Agarwood insisted.

Agarwood's filial piety touched the three gods of ice, power and death, and they couldn't resist the power of the Baolian lamp, so they had to let Agarwood take the axe.

Agarwood carried the axe to Huashan, raised the axe and cut to the peak of Huashan, just listen to the sound of "boom", the peak was split from the middle at once, and the three virgins flew out from the mountain. "Mother!" Agarwood finally saw her mother. "Lady!" Liu Yanchang finally waited for the Three Holy Mother.

They were reunited as a family and have lived happily ever after, never to be separated again.
