After Mei Gui and Jiang Qianru led the little butterfly onto the boat, the ferryman Li Hong asked them about Chu Haotian's situation, and when he learned that Suzhou City was attacked by demon beasts, he was very emotional, and he was quite worried about Chu Haotian's safety.

After chatting for a while, the ferryman Li Hong untied the rope, picked up his palms, and rowed towards the middle of the river.

The river was full of fog, and an island could be seen standing in the water in the distance, Jiang Qianru and Mei Gui felt refreshed, and they really had the illusion of entering a fairyland.

After a while, the boat slowly sailed into the fog, only to see that the current was getting faster and faster, and the hull of the boat was jolting left and right with the waves, Jiang Qianru was nervous in her heart, and reached out to hold Mei Gui's arm. In a moment, a huge wave suddenly hit, and the hull of the ship swayed violently, almost capsizing. The middle-aged man in charge of the ship shouted a spell they didn't understand, and was struggling to protect the ship.

Mei Gui knew that it was the reason for the giant whale at the beach, so her mood was calmer. But Jiang Qianru was very nervous, and grabbed the edge of the boat tightly with one hand and the little butterfly with the other, for fear of falling her into the water. The little butterfly was even more frightened and didn't say a word, closed her eyes and hugged Jiang Qianru tightly and didn't move.

After a while, the tide finally stabilized, and the middle-aged man in charge of the boat breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to a few people and settled: "It's okay, I have passed the area guarded by the giant whale on the beach, and you can enjoy the scenery smoothly." ”

Jiang Qianru asked Mei Gui in shock: "Senior sister, it's the first time I've come here, I don't know what's going on with this giant whale on the beach?"

After hearing this, Li Hong settled down and replied: "This ancient giant whale is the beach protection beast of Niangniang Beach, which was left by the beach to guard this place after the old ancestor was subdued, and has been guarded here for thousands of years. ”

In order to appease Jiang Qianru and Little Butterfly, Mei Gui began to tell them the history of Niangniangtan.

Niangniang Beach, located in the northernmost part of the Central Plains, is the only inhabited island in the Yellow River, so it is known as "the first beach of the Yellow River in the world". According to legend, during the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng and his mother Bo Ji were framed by Empress Lu and took refuge here, so they were named Niangniangtan.

It is this small island that legend has it that once staged a legendary and tragic scene in the history of the Central Plains. At that time, several generals led a number of strong warriors, protecting a concubine who was pregnant with Liujia secretly out of the palace, all the way to the Xiongnu territory, suddenly, a big river in front of them, in panic and despair, they unexpectedly saw the island in the river, there was no choice, they desperately hid here.

However, they still have lingering fears, and after the birth of the child, the clever and delicate concubine will transfer the child to another island, or you will come or she will go to nurse the child, just in case. Twelve years later, a young man walked out of this island, returned to the palace, and sat in the dragon court. He is Liu Heng, the Emperor of Han Wen who was praised by later generations as the "rule of Wenjing". There were three brothers among the generals who protected them back then, and it is said that these three people were the famous flying generals Li Guang, Li Wen, and Li Gong in history.

Three years after Liu Heng ascended the throne, he took his mother back to the palace, and divided the two islands and more than 1,000 miles of beach land west of the Yellow River to the Li brothers, and no one was allowed to occupy them. It is said that this "policy" has continued to the present, and Niangniangtan and Taizitan are named after this. For thousands of years, there has been such a folk song in the local area: "Niangniang Beach, Taizi Beach, the water is long, it is two boats." "No matter how many times there have been floods, they have not flooded this beach in the river.

"Eighteen bends of the Yellow River, the legend is no more than Niangniang Beach; after thousands of years of vicissitudes, it is still entrenched in the middle of the river; the descendants of the generals guard the island, keep in mind the holy order from generation to generation; worship the temple of Our Lady of Bohou, and bless the people with a good name. "It's Niangniang Beach.

The beach is surrounded by water on all sides, the mirror is shining, the back is against the dragon's mouth, sitting firmly in the water, like the surging Yellow River after hundreds of miles of steep cliffs hijacked, because of anger and spit out a huge thing. The Yellow River is divided by it, and the cliffs facing the water are surging with waves, and you can see from afar that it shows dozens of miles of rich and narrow river valley plains.

The north bank is a stone cliff, the mountains overlap, the sea of clouds is vast; condescendingly, overlooking the panoramic view, Niangniangtan is really like a pearl inlaid in the middle of the Yellow River, and like a landscape painting covering the middle of the Yellow River, it is vivid and has a special interest.

The green trees on the island are towering, the orchards are prosperous, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the fields are moistened by the water of the Yellow River. Idyllic cottages, dotted in the forest, the island residents work hard, fish and ferry, live a self-sufficient life, outsiders set foot on the island at first glance, such as Penglai fairyland, and as if entering the paradise.

Walking around the island, the flowers and plants are thick, fragrant and refreshing, the path around the island, the willow trees are shady, cool and refreshing, looking forward to the river, suddenly feeling open-minded, taking a cruise, chasing the wind and waves, making people feel refreshed and happy.

After listening to Mei Gui's introduction, Jiang Qianru and Little Butterfly looked at each other, Jiang Qianru thought that Niangniang Beach must be a desert island with bad conditions, but she didn't expect to be described by Mei Gui as a fairyland on earth, and she wanted to go to the island immediately to see it, so she suddenly felt comfortable.

The ferryman Li Hong smiled and said: "It seems that Miss Mei has lived on the island for some time, and she knows the history of our Niangniang Beach in detail and thoroughly. ”

Mei Gui smiled shyly: "Uncle Li, don't laugh at me, I also listened to others, I didn't understand anything, and introduced me randomly." ”

Li Hong nodded and said: "No, the introduction is very good, you can come to explain these to the pilgrims from other places in the future, and be the tour guide here!"

Mei Gui shook his head and waved his hand: "Then how dare you talk about this in front of you, isn't it a big knife in front of Guan Gong!" By the way, I have always had a question, are the inhabitants of this island all descendants of the flying general Li Guang?"

Li Hong nodded and said, "Of course, for the sake of the Li family's bloodline, foreign men are not allowed to settle on the island for a long time!"

While talking, after the boat passed through the thick fog, several people began to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the beach, but they didn't realize that the boat had docked, and the three of them stepped into the boundary of Niangniang Beach with the ferryman Li Hong.

I saw the birds singing and the flowers on the beach, the fruits were abundant, the pastoral cottages were dotted with the forests, and the people on the island were working in the fields to harvest the crops, just like a paradise.

The ferryman Li Hong led the three of them through the forest path and went straight to the ancestral hall of Our Lady of Niangniang Temple. In the ancestral hall, a statue of the mother stands in the center, with the words "Long live the wealth" written on the top, and the mural about the life of the Virgin Mary is everywhere next to it, which is magnificent.

Jiang Qianru looked very seriously, it was her first time here, so she was very curious about all the lights and winds on the island.

The three of them knelt down with the ferryman Li Hong, kowtowed to incense, and begged the mother to give peace, and after a few salutes, they were taken by Li Hong to Aunt Bai's house not far from the ancestral hall.
