South of Temple Slope in Maikang City, there is a very beautiful and beautiful lake, once called "Longquan Lake", and later called "Shimantan Reservoir". The south shore of the lake has a strange mountain, known as "Erlang Mountain". About this landscape, the local rumor is such a moving legend.
A long, long time ago, Longquan Lake, living in a turtle spirit, relying on his cousin uncle in the court of heaven as a royal historian, very popular with the Jade Emperor Pangxin, so he made waves, harming the people, and do all the bad things. The Dragon King of the East China Sea, in order to curry favor with Mr. Zhang, so that he could be promoted later, he knew that the turtle spirit was not right in heart, and his name was not right, but he still gave the turtle spirit the title of "Golden Armor God", and sealed it as "Little Dragon", and put him in charge of the rain cloth around the Longquan Lake, and set up the "Golden Armor Temple" for him. The temple of the Golden Armor was set up for him.
Turtle spirit since the golden armor God, but also want to do what they do, even the Dragon King, he did not put in the eyes, arbitrary changes in the rain cloth, for a long time without rain, and even the streams of the Erlangshan Mountain are cut off. Longquan Lake is even more water dry ground. The people have no choice, in order to save the crops, only to carry the whole pig and sheep to the tortoise spirit offerings, begging him to be merciful, can rain, save the people. I did not expect, to the Golden Armor Temple to see, the tortoise spirit unexpectedly do not want the whole pig whole sheep, only want 17 or 18 years old girl. The people were so angry that their lungs were about to explode, so they had to go and find Mr. Li, who was teaching in the village, and Erlang, who had great strength, to **** together to discuss a plan.
Erlang grew up by the Longquan Lake, where his parents made a living by fishing. Because he was dissatisfied with the evil behavior of the turtle spirit, he led the group to refuse to pay the donation, which angered the turtle spirit. He took advantage of the opportunity of Erlang's parents fishing, set off a huge wave, knocked over the fishing boat, killed Erlang's parents, Erlang lost his parents, put the hatred of the tortoise spirit in his heart, into the mountains to practice martial arts, hunting to make ends meet, just looking forward to the day to kill the tortoise spirit, to avenge his parents, for the people to get rid of the harm.
On this day, Erlang subdued a tiger with his bare hands, and the tiger willingly turned into a snarling dog to serve Erlang. Erlang was about to go home when he bumped into Mr. Li and the people. He was so annoyed to hear about the evil deeds of the tortoise spirit that he decided not to rely on this tortoise old bastard, and he led the group to build a canal to water the fields.
In the evening, Erlang at home hurriedly ate a meal, was about to take advantage of the moonlight to continue to go to the lake to save seedlings watering the field, just as he went out the door, only to see a beautiful girl standing in front of his house. When asked, he realized that the girl had lost her way walking at night in search of her relatives. Erlang said: "I am going to the lake to water the land, just to take you to find your relatives." The girl said: "watering is not busy, you first take off your clothes, there is a hole in your clothes, I'll mend it for you before you go." Erlang took off his clothes, and the girl mended them for him. Erlang sneaked a look at the girl and liked her beauty and kindness from the bottom of his heart. The girl mended the clothes while looking at Erlang, also for the handsome, righteous and brave young man in front of him.
A short while later, the clothes were mended, Jiro put on the clothes and was about to take the girl out, but the girl smiled and said, "Jiro, look!" Erlang looked out, happy and surprised: the west of the lake has been watered the farmland hanging over a full moon; the east of the lake has not been watered the dry fields, but a drizzle. Even the Longquan Lake is also beautiful and picturesque.
Then the girl told the truth. It turns out that she is the daughter of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, called "Dragon Lady". The Dragon King of the East China Sea, in order to flatter and please the Heavenly Emperor Zhang, even disregarded his daughter's lifelong happiness, forcing her to marry the Emperor Zhang as a concubine. The Dragon Lady was unwilling to do so, and with the help of her mother, she escaped from the Dragon Palace and came here.
Later, the townspeople also knew about this and came to thank the Dragon Lady. They pulled the Dragon Lady affectionately and asked her questions. The dragon lady saw that the townspeople were so kind and warm, and she also y felt the warmth of the earth. She resolved to stay here and help the good people here.
The townspeople were overjoyed when they heard that the Dragon Lady was going to stay on earth. In the future, with the Dragon Lady, they would no longer be afraid of that turtle. They saw that the Dragon Lady was beautiful and kind, and Erlang was handsome and brave, just a match made in heaven. So, they proposed to let Mr. Li officiate the wedding, and complete the wedding for Erlang and the dragon lady to be married. Mr. Li happily agreed. Although Erlang and the dragon lady smiled shyly, their hearts were very sweet.
So, everyone worked together to decorate Erlang's hut, put on big red wedding clothes for Erlang and the dragon lady, blowing and playing, and sent a pair of lovers into the bridal chamber. From then on, the two were heart to heart and lived happily ever after.
This was known by the turtle spirit, a complaint to the old dragon king and the royal historian Zhang. Zhang Royal Secretary in the sky waiting to marry the dragon lady, the wedding date has passed three days, still do not see the bride, is trying to hit the old Dragon King to settle scores. When he heard his nephew's words, he was so jealous that he dragged the old Dragon King and the Turtle Spirit to the Heavenly Court to find the Jade Emperor. They lied to the Jade Emperor, saying that Er Lang was an unruly man, who, because of his great strength, was the king of the mountain, gathering people to make trouble, and forcibly robbing the dragon lady as his wife. They told the Jade Emperor to send heavenly soldiers and generals to arrest Erlang. The Jade Emperor listened to their lies and sent Tota Li Tian Wang with the heavenly soldiers and generals and the old Dragon King to arrest Er Lang.
With the help of the Dragon Lady and Erlang, it was another good harvest year. The village people were beating gongs and drums, singing and dancing to celebrate the harvest, and Mr. Li, a teacher, toasted and blessed Erlang and the Dragon Lady. Mr. Li, the teacher, also toasted and blessed Erlang and the Dragon Lady, wishing them a happy couple. Here, Tota Li Tian Wang with heavenly soldiers and the old Dragon King came here, after a fight, Erlang was taken down by Tota Li Tian Wang, the Dragon Lady was also captured by the Dragon King, they also want to catch Mr. Li who went up to dissuade them, only to see Mr. Li transformed into a bright light and floated away. Er Lang was escorted by King Tota Li Tian Wang to Snake Scorpion Island, which is surrounded by water on all sides. The Dragon Maiden was also taken back to the Dragon Palace by her father, ready to be sent to the Heavenly Court to consummate her marriage with Royal Secretary Zhang.
When they were halfway there, the dragon lady flashed out from behind a boulder by the roadside and dragged the old dragon king by the arm, scolding him for being too cruel and pushing his daughter into the fire. The old dragon king disregarded Granny's love for her daughter and insisted on giving her to the royal historian Zhang. The dragon lady hugged her mother and cried bitterly, telling her about herself and Erlang. Granny Dragon looked at her daughter with heartache, and for the sake of her daughter's happiness she decided not to hold back this time. She invited her mother's nine-headed phoenix maiden and a few Penglai fairy sisters to fight with the old dragon king's fish soldiers and shrimp generals for a while, defeating the old dragon king and letting the dragon maiden go.
After parting with her mother, the dragoness flew to Snake Scorpion Island. She saw Erlang chained to a boulder, with a poisonous scorpion crawling on his arm and a python wrapped around his leg, and his body was covered with blood. However, he still stood up his chest and head, staring angrily at the sky. The dragon lady jumped up and hugged Erlang and cried bitterly, "Erlang ah, to see you suffer how not to call people sad ah." With that, she pulled the snake and scorpion onto herself. Erlang felt the dragon lady a sincere heart, also busy to pull the snake scorpion back, would rather die himself rather than drag his beloved wife. The Dragon Lady took out a sharp blade and pierced her arm, bleeding blood, she said to the Snake Scorpion, "Snake Scorpion, Erlang, he's already covered in wounds, don't bite him. I am the Dragon Lady, who in the three realms does not want to eat dragon's liver and phoenix marrow. Now, I would rather have you all eat me, okay? Let Er Lang go, will you?"
The scorpion python was also moved to tears when they saw that they sincerely loved each other in life and death. They were unwilling to do anything that would harm the heavens and the earth, not to mention that they knew that Erlang and the dragoness had offended the powerful and the rich in order to save the people, and had ended up in the situation they were in today. So they bit off the thousand-pound chain and let them live. The two of them were worried about not being able to get out of the sea, when they saw a nine-headed phoenix flying from beyond the sky, carrying them away from Snake Scorpion Island, and went to the Temple of the Heavenly Palace to seek redress of their grievances from the Jade Emperor.
At this time, the Jade Emperor was ascending to the throne room, and the treacherous minister Zhang Qishen was with him. Erlang and the dragon lady came to the throne room and told the Jade Emperor about the evil deeds of the turtle spirit, the old dragon king and the deceitfulness of Zhang Qishi. Relying on the fact that he was the Jade Emperor's favorite, Zhang Royal Secretary still argued with Erlang and Dragon Lady. While they were in a stalemate, Taibai Jinxing, who had been on a private visit to the earth, came back, and it turned out that he was Mr. Li, who was teaching at the lake. Taibai Jinxing reported truthfully all the things that happened in the lower world. Erlang's uprightness and bravery, diligence for the people; Dragon Lady's kindness and goodness to save the living souls; Turtle Spirit, Old Dragon King and Zhang Royal Secretary's bullying of the good and the good.
The Jade Emperor finally realized the truth of the matter, and escorted Zhang to the lampstand to be beheaded for public display; the tortoise spirit beheaded and chopped off his claws, removed the tortoise cover and threw it into the frying pan to fry, and the tortoise head was thrown into the river, and the broken body was thrown into the Wulong Pool. The old Dragon King can repent, and in time to expose the evil deeds of Zhang and the Turtle Spirit, so cut off the official position, temporarily stay in the Dragon Palace to enjoy the leisure.
The Jade Emperor gave the Dragon Lady the Dragon Spring Sword, which is in charge of the Divine Lake and the Dragon Spring Lake. Since then, people have been casting the Longquan Sword here, and the "Longquan Sword" has become famous in China and abroad. Seal Erlang as "Erlang God", returned to the god, the south shore of the lake mountain, people also called "Erlang Mountain". The nine-headed phoenix was sealed to sit on the Jutouyi Cliff for the benefit of the earth. So far, the nine cliffs beautiful scenery such as a fairyland, on the side of the dragon lady combing left behind the "Maiden combing" attractions. To this, can not help but people sigh in awe.
