Master Huineng of the Sixth Patriarch hit the ground with a tin rod to form a spring, which only solved the daily water problem of the monks in the temple. But when I thought of the fact that it had not rained for a long time inside and outside the county of Xinzhou, causing thousands of miles of red land, severe drought, and poor crop harvest, my heart couldn't help but become heavy.

At night, Master Huineng sat in the meditation room, and calculated that there were only three days left in his life....... he resolutely decided to relieve the drought for the toiling masses before he passed away.

Early the next morning, Master Huineng of the Sixth Ancestor took the Shenhui and disguised himself as a wandering Taoist, set off from Longshan Guoen Temple, went out of the integration, crossed the Liangdong, crossed the river, and pulled out all the way to understand the disaster situation and observe the people's feelings.

At noon on this day, the Sixth Patriarch Huineng Master and the gods will follow a mountain range in the southwest direction of the Yunwu Mountain, cross the field and cross the gorge, and they will be like a dragon leaping together, until the heavenly ground in Xinzhou County, and it will come to an abrupt end at the foot of a stone mountain with Guanyin Pavilion.

So, the master and apprentice observed near the Guanyin Pavilion, hoping to find the passage of the water spring. But looking around, but there is no trace, only to see the highest floor in the pavilion, there is a Buddha hall in it, enshrined Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The Bodhisattva sits on a lotus throne with a kind and solemn expression. The back wall of the hall is a smooth stone wall, and the incense burner in front of the hall is an open-air roof. There is a Yao pond in the center of the rooftop, in which lotus is grown. Due to the great drought, the water in the Yao Pond also dried up.

In front of the lotus throne of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Sixth Patriarch Huineng reverently told Guanyin Bodhisattva the purpose of his visit, and let his thoughts fly.

Suddenly, a light flashed in front of him, and Master Huineng of the Sixth Ancestor looked up, only to see Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting on the lotus throne, holding the pure bottle with his hand pointing to the right.

In an instant, the Sixth Ancestor Master Huineng was shocked by this discovery, and also understood the mystery in it.

After the Sixth Patriarch Huineng thanked Guanyin Bodhisattva, he and the gods went straight to the right.

To the right is the Inner Cave of Heaven. Surrounded by mountains, there are two areas of flat land, and the land is abundant, which the locals call the inner and outer paradise, and the two major fields of agriculture are naturally separated here...... Beautiful paradise, beautiful in legends; The magic of the inner hole, the magic of the myth.

Neidong, this ancient land has a long history, the incense of the Qin and Han dynasties stretches endlessly for thousands of years, the Neidong River that flows from north to south, originates from the waterfall of the big mountain range of the "Chaoxian Chair Top" of the Longwei Mountain in Liantang, and the water of the high mountains flows through the Neidong River, and the Xinxing River flows into the Xijiang River and the sea.

The sparkling Neidong River adds a bit of aura to the land on both sides of the river, pours out the beautiful style of the Neidong, brings vitality to all things, becomes the source of life, and gives birth to generations of Neidong people.

At the mouth of the three temples in the inner cave of the outer heaven, there is a "Sangong Temple", which enshrines Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei of the Taoyuan Three Kingdoms. The people of the inner cave prayed that the "three princes" would hold the door of the inner cave and keep one side safe.

Sanmiaokou is a military fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In front of the entrance of the three temples, there is a memorial arch, which is magnificent. Lingnan famous cave "Guanyin sitting lotus" - the Longzhen cave where the ancestor of the Liang surname was buried in Liantang Village in Neidong - is in the north peak of Neidong Lychee Ridge Mountain.

This mountain is from the top of the plum blossom in Guangxi through the top of the Wangjun Ding, the top of the field, all the way to bend and rise and fall, through the field over the Gorge, in Luoyang fell off and rushed up the big cloud mountain, open the shoulder to open the purple Luo big tent, in the middle of the piercing out of the sycamore branches, knot wood node budding hole, the inner hall is tiled like a palm, the lips are wide open, the remaining air is placed down the mountain again, the left and right brothers dragon and tiger pocket to stop intercepting the remaining gas, the appearance is more like a lotus, the knot flower stamen point, after the case Huayang Tie Liantang Village, so it is also called "Guanyin sitting lotus", the ancestral hall of the Liang family is also selected here.

There are also predecessors called crab land, left and right open cockles, hole knotted crab mouth, opposite the mountain view, also very similar. Exactly: thousands of miles to the dragon, thousands of weather. If you point to the right acupoint, you will be blessed.

Daming Hall under the mountain in front of the mountain is the township of Neidong, there are more than 10 villages in Neidong, such as a very big cornucopia, the hall can accommodate thousands of troops and horses, and the overall situation is close.

Jingyun: Mingtang can accommodate 10,000 horses, but the water mouth is just a boat. There is a Wenchang Pagoda (Baoning Tower) to guard at the mouth of the water, there is a command flag on the left, and there is a drum on the right side and a horse column. "Snow Heart Fu" cloud: "Left flag and right drum, military generals, front barrier and back screen, Wenchen Zaifu." The bureau has a mighty momentum, and it must be a military general. It is the description of this cave.

From the tent under the "Guanyin sitting lotus" at a glance of the panorama of the inner hole, the north is high and the south is low, the village is connected with each other, the large and small buildings are scattered, as if a city in the mountains, the inner hole is indeed a feng shui treasure land of outstanding people.

In this "magical blessed land" of rich treasures and outstanding people, there is a beautiful and beautiful story about the Paradise Lotus Pond:

At the beginning of the ancient flood and desolation of Pangu, the area around the inner cave outside the Heavenly Hall was a vast sea (the current rock formations in this area are limestone structures is a proof), and the location of Liantang Village today is this endless beach. It is a depression along the topography, and it looks like a pond from a distance.

It is said that the Jade Emperor in the sky has a group of maids, some of whom are responsible for cultivating and managing lotus flowers and picking lotus seeds, among which is the first lotus fairy, because she has the skills of boiling lotus seed sugar water and making lotus seed sugar soup, so she also has to make lotus seed products for the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother to enjoy.

This year, the palace is going to hold a peach festival again, the lotus fairy holds the jade pot, and gives the boiled lotus seed syrup to the Jade Emperor to enjoy, because the palace ground is smooth, the mood is nervous, the foot slips, pours the lotus seed syrup, splashes the dragon robe of the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor was furious, punished the lotus fairy, and did not allow her to participate in the reception of various feasts in the future, and degraded her to the fairy palace Lotus Yao to plant lotus flowers, and only allowed her to pick lotus seeds with other fairies during the harvest season.

The Lotus Fairy woman is stubborn and not afraid of power. He thought that the Jade Emperor was really a bit of a fuss about punishing her for such an unintentional small mistake, and he was not convinced.

This year, it was the season when the lotus seeds were ripe, and when the lotus seeds were picked, the lotus fairy remembered the punishment that the Jade Emperor had punished herself, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. In a fit of anger, he scattered a batch of lotus seeds he picked on the mortal earth. Since then, there have been lotus roots, lotus flowers, lotus seeds and other things in various parts of the world.

On this day, the lotus fairy and the four golden boys and girls met and rode five divine horses to secretly go down to earth to visit the beautiful scenery of the world. On the way, the lotus fairy warned everyone: "Keep going and don't speak, so as not to alarm the court and provoke punishment." ”

After the lotus fairy and others left the fairy world, they waved the whip, the divine horse soared, stepped on the colorful auspicious clouds, and came to the sky above the current Xinxing County Paradise Town, then pressed the cloud head, looked down on the mortal world, there was a vast sea below, there was a large shoal by the sea, full of boundless green leaves and red flowers, and felt very surprised, so he rode his horse towards this area of Pegasus. When I arrived, it turned out that the lotus pond was blooming with red, purple, and white lotus flowers. At this time, the lotus fairy said to the four golden boys and girls: "The lotus seeds that I scattered to the world in my previous life have blossomed and borne fruit, so let's go and watch them." ”

Out of joy, they had forgotten the warning, and they laughed and shouted. This is terrible, the sound of laughter alarmed the Dharma Protector God in the Heavenly Palace. The great god didn't dare to hide it, so he informed the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor listened to the performance and said angrily: "The Lotus Fairy and others violated the rules of heaven and went down to earth privately, and the Lotus Fairy and the four golden boys and jade girls and the five divine horses are not allowed to return to the heavenly realm in the future." ”

Since then, the lotus fairy, the four golden boys and the five sacred horses have all remained in the world.

At that time, there were no grains in the world, they ate lotus seeds, lotus roots, and wore lotus leaves, lotus, the five gods and horses had to eat grass to satisfy hunger, due to the lack of feed, over the years, more and more thin, until one by one lying on the ground, became five hills, the horse's head was towards the stable, and then people called these five hills "five horses back to the nest (stable)", the two pairs of golden boys and girls, then formed a husband and wife, planted lotus in this area, reproduced offspring, and later generations called this place "lotus pond".

After the golden boy and the girl became husband and wife, the lotus fairy was embarrassed to live with them.

She walked to the top of a high mountain behind the lotus pond, built a shed to live, and still returned to the lotus pond during the day to guide the golden boy and jade girl to farm. The top of this mountain where the lotus fairy lives, the terrain is very much like a dragon chair, and there are often fairies who come here to meet the fairy, and the descendants call this place "the top of the fairy chair".

Although the things in the mythical world are very innocent and magical, and even become more beautiful and mysterious after being processed by later generations, there is a profound basis for life in its production.

Besides, the Sixth Ancestor Huineng Master came to the Heavenly Inner Cave Realm with the Divine Society, but he saw the scene when he helped the Gangxian to relieve the drought in the past: I saw that the red land here was thousands of miles, the fields were cracked, and the seedlings were about to dry up. Groups of people carry buckets of water to the river to carry water to pour crops.

Master Huineng of the Sixth Patriarch was once again moved, and his compassion prompted him to relieve the drought for the people here. So, he walked to the crowd with a bowl in hand, said a blessing, and then said, "The drought is so severe, although you have the perseverance to carry water and pour the crops, it is like a drop of water to water the flames." If you can trust me, how about asking me for rain on your behalf? ”

The people were eager to relieve the drought, so they immediately brought the two Taoists to the Yamen of the Heavenly Metropolitan Division, and asked them to discuss with the Imperial Prefecture about asking for rain.

The next day, the local people according to the guidance of the sixth ancestor Huineng master, in the northwest of the inner cave Qianhai position (behind Liantang Village) on a hilltop to build a soil platform, take its "gold water" meaning, the earth platform is surrounded by flags, and select 28 strong men, holding the flag in all directions, instead of the twenty-eight nights, and then the sixth ancestor Huineng master ascended the altar, burned incense and prayed to the heavens, the mouth recited words.

Knocking on the wooden fish, and holding the clean water in all directions, and then slapping the wood, a moment, the sky was full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and then a downpour fell for a day and a night, and the entire land of Xinzhou was completely relieved of the drought.

After the rain, people wanted to thank the Taoist, but there was no trace of the Taoist. I saw that around the earthen platform, there were some spiritual talismans of Longshan Guoen Temple pasted on the flags, so people speculated that this Taoist who climbed the altar to burn incense and pray for rain in the sky was the sixth ancestor Huineng master. Since then, the people of Neidong have worshiped the six ancestors even more.

After Master Huineng passed away in Longshan Guoen Temple, the people of Neidong initiated the creation of the golden body of the six ancestors. Therefore, a skilled craftsman was invited to sculpt a golden statue of the six ancestors, and someone proposed to build a temple of the six ancestors in the center of the inner cave to set up an altar to worship. However, most people think that it is better to set up altars in turn according to the inner cave villages, and to feel closer to the six ancestors in this way. In the future, every time it is the turn of which village to worship, the people of the village are like doing happy events, after the whole village men, women and children bathe and fast, beat gongs and drums to pick up the golden statues of the six ancestors, and then every household reports the number of tributes and fasts according to their own economic ability. Since then, every time there is a drought, people carry the golden bodies of the six ancestors to the earthen platform on the top of the original mountain to ask for rain. The people of Liantang in this place called it "asking for the top of the rain", and it has been passed down to the present (this is a later story).
