Tales of the Earth Immortal and the Song Immortal

There are 33 peaks in Liuhuang Roach in central Huazhou, one of which is called Liu Xian Ding (刘仙顶) and the other is called Yupan Peak (玉盘峰). Legend has it that the song fairy Liu Sanjie once lived there, hence the name of these two peaks. At the intersection of the mountain trails around Liuhuang, there stand some marvelous stone statues. They are in a palpable form and have faces that resemble peasants, which are the Earth Immortal - Shepherd Boy Buddha Zi. Speaking of the big brother of the Earth Immortal Fozi, he and the song fairy Liu Sanjie still have a touching love story miles!

Liu Sanjie, born in the north of Guangdong, came to the west of Guangdong to spread her songs. When she stepped into the six royal houses of Orange State (Huazhou), she looked around at the scenery in all directions. A fresh wind whipped her face, and the melodious sound of a flute drifted to her. When the third sister followed the sound to look for someone, the magnificent singing voice floated over again from the orange tree forest:

Tangerine flowers bloomed in front of the mountain cliffs, and like a flower girl stood by the roadside.

Flowers think of the spring breeze and fish love the water, horses think of the green mountains and geese love the sky.

Originally, the shepherd boy, Buddha, was resting in the orange grove, and saw a young girl wandering at the intersection of the mountain paths, like a brightly colored haze, slowly drifting towards the front, so he couldn't help but sing a mountain song.

When she met such a clever and playful man, she thought for a moment, and then sang out:

Hey-

The trees under the Twin Peaks Mountain are full of trees, and I am a young bird coming out of the nest;

The wasp picking nectar meets with a stinger, and the crow bumps into the clever eight.

Sister San's talent for singing made the shepherd boy Fozi impressed, and Fozi's simplicity and cleverness also made her feel cute and adorable. Since then, Fozi has been learning to sing with the third sister, and the popular Orange County songs have been improved with the addition of the "ai" sound and a lot of improvements in the singing style.

One day, Buddha and his third sister were exploring the scenery on Liuhuang Mountain and arrived at the Smokey Cave. Buddha tied the ox to the entrance of the cave on the sword test stone, both stepped into the cave, see the general stone of different sizes, smooth as a mat. They sat on the stone and sang a song to each other, a question and an answer, a song and a harmony. Because of the time is too long, the bullock waited impatiently, force a step, the sword test stone step cracked into three pieces. To this day, the cow footprints on the sword test stone are still very clear!

They walked out of the Smokey Cave, over the nine hanging water, waterfalls from the front of the peak and descending, 10,000 feet straight down the Dragon Pool. This Longtan Bay, green bamboo, quiet and soft. Three sisters in order to test the Buddha's feelings for her, pretending to lose their footing, fell into a deep pool. Buddha jumped into the pool with his clothes, the three sisters out of the water. The third sister as a lotus flower, elegant, a pair of bright eyes to the Buddha son smile. After that, they often went to this spring to bathe, and after bathing, they went to the East Ridge, which is a hundred feet high, to sing songs to each other. Later people called this pool for the dragon and phoenix pool, this mountain for Liu Xian top.

Three sisters and Buddha y in love with each other, time is like an arrow, do not realize that several years have passed. At the Buddha's repeated requests, the third sister decided to take him four out to pass the song. Because the Buddha does not have the ability to fly across the valley, the third sister let him pull the belt to ride a crane. Buddha Zi closed his eyes and floated for a while, as instructed by the Third Sister. Wanting to look down on the beauty of the Orange State and peek at Third Sister's heroic pose as she soared into the air and traveled to heaven, he unconsciously opened his eyes and instantly fell from the heights. Three Sisters painfully found the unconscious Buddha Zi at a three-way intersection. In order to save the Buddha's son, the Third Sister got the help of Immortal Luo Defender, who lived in seclusion at the peak Yaochi, and refined pills on the Jade Plate Peak. After seventy-seven and forty-nine days of alchemy to save the Buddha Zi, finally turned Yang. After Buddha Zi recovered, the third sister took him on foot to Guilin to pass on her songs. The two of them brought the tangerine red, which was abundant in Orange State, to Guilin as well, and since then the area around southeast Gui has been as rich in tangerine red as Orange State.

One day, the girl went up the mountain to fetch firewood. Suddenly the sky was full of clouds, the wind was blowing, the lightning was flashing, and suddenly there was a loud bang, and something white fell from the sky. She took a closer look, "Hey, it was a crane that was wounded all over its body". She immediately tore off pieces of cloth from her body to bandage it. Strangely enough, just after the bandage, the wind stopped, the clouds disappeared and the rain dispersed, and peace returned to the mountains. She touched the crane's heart, it is still beating, then, immediately took off the head of the beloved pearl, research into minced, spread on the wound to stop bleeding. The crane slowly woke up, only to see it open a pair of witty sparkling eyes. From the mouth spit out a jasper and said: "good and brave girl, if you want something, as long as the three calls jasper, it will help you, in case of distress, as long as the four calls jasper, it will be for you to row distress." Saying this, the white crane turned into an auspicious cloud and floated away to the northwest. Surprised and delighted, the girl hid the jasper in a cage and called it three times, whereupon a cage full of chickens and ducks appeared. She distributed the chickens and ducks to the poor. Then she took the precious jade into the grain enclosure and called three times, whereupon a full enclosure of rice appeared. She gave the rice to all the people in the village to relieve their hunger. After that, she was always ready to help the townspeople whenever they had any difficulties. The townspeople all honored her as the "Goddess of Mercy".

He heard that the peasant girl is as beautiful as heaven, has long been coveted, and now there is that precious jade, it was born out of evil intentions, with the family and kept the wolf dog to rob, want to even people with jade for themselves. Kind-hearted villagers sent a message to the girl, and released the watchdogs to block, so that the girl won time to climb up the hill. The village bully ordered the guards to hurry up and chase after him. See the village bully is getting closer and closer, she suddenly remembered the words of the crane, and hastily took out the precious jade from her bosom, and even called out four times, the words did not fall, a big stick from the sky flying down, "splat" sound, the village bully's head will be open flowers. At this time, the girl was cured by the white crane leading six white cranes from the clouds flying with jasper in their mouths, circling three weeks in the clouds over the open earth, the jasper will be sown in the clouds on the ground, screaming three times, and then hold the girl wings away. The jasper sown by the white crane later entered the ground and became a big mountain containing jasper.

Wangfu Mountain

Dianbai County and Yangjiang City border, there is a Wangfu Mountain, where there are many moving stories.

Once upon a time, there was an endless sea, and there was a small hill on the seashore. On the hillside lived a hard-working young man named Ah Hai.

Hai lost both parents when he was a child and had no one to depend on, but he developed a good skill in hard labor. He could open his eyes under the water and was a good fisherman and pearl picker.

One day, while fishing at sea, Ah Hai rescued a shipwrecked girl, Ah Zhen. The girl was a native of Chunshan (now Yangchun), and because the bullies wanted to take her as their concubine, she was unwilling to be abused and mistreated, and escaped with her father on a boat in the middle of the night. She was lucky enough to be rescued when the boat hit a reef and sank in the middle of the journey, but her father was nowhere to be found.

The girl was y grateful to Ah Hai for saving her life, and Ah Hai also sympathized with the girl's misfortune. Soon after, the two young men became husband and wife.

The two young men were married and lived a happy life together, with Precious being a hard worker and Hai being a capable one. She was not only a good housekeeper, but also a good singer. She often made up her own songs and taught Ah Hai how to sing them together:

"One net in a hut, a few sweet smells in the tea and rice!

Sister doesn't mind brother loving sister, drinking congee together is better than honey."

"Brother sings, sister weaves, brother fishes, sister rattan.

Brother and sister work together diligently, not to worry about food to not worry about clothing."

As the saying goes, good flowers are hard to plant, and good scenes don't last long. The emperor, who was far away, heard that there were pearl treasures in the South China Sea, so he sent a pearl-picking ambassador with thousands of officials and soldiers to the coastal area to pull the boat to catch the ding out to sea, to salvage pearls for the royal family. Ah Hai was also captured, Ah Zhen cried to death. But the soldiers are like wolves and tigers, what can a poor girl do? A Zhen sent her husband all the way, all the way singing a miserable song:

"Sending my brother to the desert river bank, tears spilled on the river side of the rain drenched.

The big river rises and the fish split the way, brother and sister split the way without distraction!"

After her husband was escorted to the sea to collect pearls, Precious stood on the hill every evening and looked out, hoping that Ah Hai would return soon.

However, there was hatred on earth and the sea was merciless. The days passed by, but there was no sign of Ah Hai. Half a year later, a fisherman who escaped told her: Ah Hai in the collection of beads, encountered a group of sharks, for the sake of the group, he bravely fought the sharks, the blood of the sea water are dyed red ...... Precious heard fainted, three days and three nights can not eat. She climbed to the top of the hill, facing the sea, and sang with a hoarse throat:

"I want to brother day and night longer, tears flowed a basket.

If you treat your tears as seawater, the tide will rise over the Moyang River."

After the song was sung, tears rained down and the sea roared. It is said that the sea tide rose so high that day that it spread over the Moyang River, drowning several ships of officials and soldiers carrying jewelry. After the storm, Precious was transformed into a standing stone. Over the years, the beach in this area turned into land, and the small hill turned into a large, lofty and lush mountain, which people then called Wangfushan.
