Chapter 46: The Land of Mythology
Although the god of wind, the god of rain, and the god of snow were very sympathetic to the suffering villagers, they were also powerless, and the monk and the girl were very helpless and sad.
Suddenly, one day, when the monk was worried, a white swan fell in front of her, and the monk asked the swan, is there any way you can subdue the fire demon? The swan nodded and motioned for the monk to ride on its back, and the monk happily agreed, and after the monk and the girl rode on its back, it spread its wings and rushed straight to the heavenly palace, and saw "Abu Kan En Duli", which is a Manchu title, which means referring to the gods.
The monk and the girl prayed to Abu Kan En Duli to surrender the fire demon for the survival of the nation! Abu Kane looked at the monk and said, "Can you give up everything you have?"
The monk Jili girl did not hesitate or flinch at all, and said that as long as she could save the villagers, she would not hesitate to break her bones! Abu Kan Duri was moved by the sacrificial spirit of the monk and nodded, Okay, I'll give you the coldest piece of ice, and when the fire demon opens his mouth and breathes fire, you can hold this piece of ice and jump into the fire demon's belly, and you can subdue it, but you will never be able to return to the world.
The monk and the auspicious girl had made up her mind, she took the ice, rode on the swan, went straight to the sky above Changbai Mountain, saw the fire demon's mouth spewing the pillar of fire, plunged headlong, and got into the belly of the fire demon, only to hear a loud noise, the top of the mountain collapsed into a deep pit, the raging tongue of fire contracted into the deep pit, the wind god came, the wind blew away the smoke, the rain god came, the heavy rain filled the pit, the snow god came, the cold froze the lava...... The mountain has become green again, the grass has become green, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the deer and horses are neighing, the Manchu ancestors who live at the foot of Changbai Mountain have been saved, the monk Jili girl has fallen from the sky, and the fire demon has been subdued, and people have called the huge puddle on the top of Changbai Mountain in order to commemorate this brave, kind, and the girl who has eliminated harm for the people.
Of course, this is just a beautiful mythical story, but after listening to it, I was deeply moved by the beautiful and kind monk and Jili girl.
Li Ruiwan said with a smile: "I don't know if Tianchi is the credit of the monk Jili girl, but I have also heard another legend, which is about the ...... of the Tianchi water monster."
It is said that a long time ago, there was a place called Ping'an Tun at the foot of Changbai Mountain, there was a pair of twin brothers in Tun, the eldest was called Wang Lin, the second was called Wang Mu, the two were born with big shoulders and round waists, and their strength was superhuman.
They make a living by farming and hunting, one year, within a radius of hundreds of miles in Ping'an Tun, there was not even a drop of rain, the land was so dry that it cracked, many people died due to lack of water, seeing such a poor life of the people, the brothers decided to find a water source to relieve the drought, the brothers heard that there is a heavenly pond on Changbai Mountain, where there is an inexhaustible source of water, but it is surrounded by mountains, and it can't flow out, but if you want to flow down, you have to split the Tianchi out of the gap, otherwise there is no door.
The two brothers totaled, decided to split the mountain and release the water, said to do it, simple dotting, on the road, the two brothers to the bottom of the mountain, at this time it was nearly evening, the two were ready to find a place to live, saw that there was a thatched house next to the mountain, they walked in, there was an old man in the house, the age was too old, but it was a crane hair and a childish face, the eyes were bright, the two brothers said to the old man to borrow a night, tomorrow to climb the mountain, the old man was very happy to accept down.
And also entertained them with their own food, the old man asked the two why they went up the mountain, the brothers were not ambiguous, immediately explained the intention, the old man listened, that shook his head...... It's difficult, it's difficult, there is a water monster in this mountain, more than five feet tall, with two sharp horns on his head, copper bells in his eyes, and a big mouth with blood, one bite can swallow people, two big hands are like dustpans, catching a person is like catching a chicken, he is on the shore during the day, and enters the water at night, Tianchi is dominated by him, no one wants to get closer, you two go to death ah!
The boss Wang Lin was energetic when he heard it, and in order to split the mountain and release the water, he was willing to die! The second Wang Mu also said, anyway, if there is no water, it will be dead, so go and break through, in case you really fight the water monster, can't you split the mountain and release the water?
As soon as the old man heard the music, in order not to let your brothers lose their lives, I will give you a gourd, this gourd will open the lid, just say: water come, water come, the water will come out, it can water more than five acres of land, with it drinking water and cooking, enough to make a living.
The second Wang Mu asked, if there was more water, wouldn't it be possible to water the whole village? When the old man heard this, he immediately shook his head, this water is only enough for your family, and it is not enough for other people's families, how can you care so much in such an age, the boss Wang Lin disagrees, that's not good, we can't watch others suffer! The second Wang Mu also said, yes, for the sake of the villagers, if the mountain can't be split, even if you die, you are willing!
The old man saw that the two insisted on splitting the mountain, and finally changed his words, you brothers are kind children, if you have to go, I will give you two three arrows, three darts, you two brothers, shoot the head of the water monster with arrows, hit the heart of the water monster with a dart, remember to be bold, the heart is fine enough, the hands must be ruthless, after killing the water monster, first cut off his left horn, read: horns and horns, quickly become a pickaxe, use this pickaxe to split the mountain, and then cut off his right horn, read: horns and horns, quickly turn into a spade, use this spade to open a ditch to divert water.
In the end, the old man specially added, you two brothers must keep it in mind, the two brothers listened to the old man excitedly, and then went to bed early.
When they woke up the next day, the brothers were dumbfounded, only to see that the house and the old man had disappeared out of thin air, it turned out that he had spent a night under the tree last night, and then looked at the arrows and darts given by the old man, and he was still in his body.
In order to save the people, the two brothers were not afraid of hardship, first crossed the ninety-nine ridges, climbed the ninety-nine cliffs, and finally rushed to the edge of the Tianchi, just as they were looking for the water monster, they heard Leng Buding shouting: "He Fangren is so bold!" I saw that Tianchi set off a monstrous giant Lang, and then a shrimp soldier jumped out, and the two brothers hit when they saw it, Wang Lin pulled up his bow and shot an arrow, and the shrimp soldier was shot to death.
At this time, the water monster rose from the pond, opened his bloody mouth and pounced on Wang Mu, Wang Lin took out an arrow to shoot at the water monster, shot into his mouth, the water monster screamed twice and closed his mouth, and stretched out his arm to Wang Lin to grab it, Wang Mu "whoosh" a dart flew out, hit his chest, the water monster roared and pounced on the two, the brothers were not in a hurry, one pulled the bow and arrow, the other held a dart to wait for the water monster to pounce forward, an arrow hit the head, a dart hit the heart, the water monster fell to the ground and struggled, the brothers made up another arrow and a dart, the water monster could not move, The two of them hurriedly chopped off the horns of the water monster, and Wang Lin picked up one of the horns and said: "Horns and horns, quickly become pickaxes." "It literally turned into a pickaxe.
Wang Mu picked up another horn and read: "Horn horn, turn into a spade quickly." It immediately turned into a sharp shovel, the boss Wang Lin "clicked" three pickaxes, the mountain was split, the water of the Tianchi flowed out of the gap, the second Wang Mu used a spade to dig a ditch, the water went down the ditch, where the spade went, the water went, just like that, digging and digging, all the way to the water down the mountain, to the tunli, the drought was finally lifted, and the villagers were saved......
Changbai Mountain, is a place full of legends, there are endless myths and stories everywhere, after listening to the two stories, I gradually believe that Xiantuo Mountain, maybe it is in Changbai Mountain, maybe its name is not called "Xiantuo Mountain", but something else, but as long as there is such a peak, I will definitely be able to find what I am looking for, only a treasure of the town, and a secret compass that has never appeared.
Master once said that I would meet at Xiantuo Mountain, and I hope that my judgment was not wrong this time, and if I still have the opportunity to be with Master, I am determined to never be separated from Master again......
It was late at night, and everyone was already snoring, but Tang Xiaohao and Li Rui, through the development of the two stories, were out of control, hiding aside and whispering, and from time to time there was a burst of laughter, I looked at them and smiled happily.
