In the spring of that year, when the Cangshan Mountains were covered with red, the princess met a young hunter at the festival around the three spirits. The hunter lost his parents when he was a child, and lived alone in a cave on the Jade Bureau Peak, hunting for a living. The princess sympathized with the hunter, and saw the hunter handsome, handsome, and fell in love with him. The hunter, who saw that the princess was very handsome and kind, also liked her very much.
Since the princess fell in love with the hunter, he was always thinking about him, so that the princess could not eat during the day, and could not sleep well at night. One day, the king of Nanzhao suddenly told the princess that he had promised her to the general of the army, and that he would marry her on an auspicious day. Hearing this unexpected news, the princess was so anxious that she cried all night, both eyes were swollen with tears. The next morning, just after the morning mist cleared, the princess stood sadly in front of the window, her red eyes staring blankly at the verdant mountains, her thoughts were all over the place and her heart was in turmoil. I don't know where to fly a magpie, standing in front of the window on the branches of the tree chirping endlessly, called the princess heart even more irritable.
'Little magpie, little magpie. You know what's in my heart? The princess said, 'I'm so worried.
The magpie nodded her head twice.
The princess said, 'Little Magpie, please take a message to the hunter on Jade Palace Peak and tell him to come and rescue me.
The little magpie nodded again and flew away.
The magpie flew all the way to Yubang Peak.
The hunter had just come back from hunting on Yunlang Peak, and was about to enter the cave, when the magpie stopped at the osmanthus tree at the entrance of the cave and called out to the hunter. The hunter's name is "The Huntress of the Hunt".
The hunter asked, 'Magpie, do you have something to say to me? '
The little magpie said: 'The king of Nanzhao is going to marry the princess to the general of the army, and the princess wants you to go and save her.
Since the hunter met the princess, he has been thinking about her every day. When he was halfway down the mountain, he saw a gray-haired old man with a bucket on his back, walking with a limp in front of him.
The hunter asked him:
'Grandpa, where are you going and what happened to your leg? The old man replied:
'I went to the mountains to collect medicine, and I accidentally broke my leg. I'm afraid I won't be able to return home until nightfall!
'Grandpa, I'll carry you on my back!
The old man did not refuse, the hunter put him on his back and hurried forward. After a while, the old man asked the hunter:
'Young man, you're in such a hurry, what's the matter?
Seeing that the old man was kind, the hunter told him that he was going to save the princess.
'The palace walls are so high, and the palace guards are so strict, how can you go like this to save the princess?
'Grandpa, how can I save the princess?
The old man thought for a moment and said to him:
'There is a peach tree growing on the steep cliff face of Phoenix Eye Cave, if you eat the peaches from this tree, you will have the ability to save the princess.'
The old man said to him, 'I'm not going to save the princess.'
The old man said, 'I'm not going to save the princess. However, picking that peach is not easy, no one has ever picked it! As long as I can save the Princess, I am not afraid of any difficulties.
The hunter just finished his speech, suddenly felt a lightness on his back, and looked back, the old man on his back has disappeared. The hunter thought, "This must be the Cangshan God coming to help him," and bowed to the top of the mountain and went straight to the Phoenix Eye Cave.
The hunter arrived at the Cave of the Phoenix Eyes, stood on the bed of immortals and looked down, only to see straight cliffs plunging into the abyss below. In the steep cliffs really grow a peach tree, the tree's peaches in the green leaves shining red light. Climbing down the cliff, a mistake will be shattered! But in order to save the princess, the hunter did not hesitate to go down. He finally climbed to the peach tree, picked a big, red peach and ate it. As soon as the peach was down, all the fatigue immediately disappeared. He gently lifted up his feet, and flew up into the sky. The hunter circled the sky like a big eagle, he clearly saw the islands and fishing boats in the Erhai Sea, but also saw the majestic Nanzhao Palace in the city of Dali.
That very night, the hunter flew into the palace by the bright moonlight, and brought the princess to Yubing Peak.
The princess and the hunter were married in a cave on Yubing Peak. They hunted together in the daytime, cultivated the land together, and sang happily together in the evening. The entrance to their cave was filled with smiling dragon maidens, dancing flowers, azaleas, camellias, ...... and they lived happily in this garden of a hundred flowers.
After the princess disappeared, the king of Nanzhao sent people to look for her every day, but never found her whereabouts. The king of Nanzhao was very anxious, so he invited Venerable Luo Quan to discuss the matter.
The king of Nanzhao was very anxious and asked Mr. Luo Quan to discuss the matter with him. Mr. Luo Quan is a monk from Luotuan Temple in Haidong who is a treacherous person and can do all kinds of magic spells, and he told the king of Nanzhao as soon as he came to the palace that he had already seen the princess and the hunter living in the Jade Bureau Peak with a magic lamp in the Heavenly Mirror Court.
The king of Nanzhao heard, angry half a day to say, he thought, the king of Nanzhao's princess privately married to a hunter, my face where to put ah! He also thought, his own girl can not control, how to manage the people in the future? The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he asked the general of the army to go to Cangshan Mountain with his men to arrest the princess and the hunter. Venerable Luo Quan said to the King of Nanzhao:
'The hunters have extraordinary skills, not only will we not be able to get them, but also the people will be ashamed of them if the news spreads, so let me use my magic spells to subdue them!
So Venerable Luo Quan sent a raven to Cangshan Mountain to deliver the message.
The hunter and the princess were sitting on the grass in front of the cave, singing happily, when suddenly a raven flew in, shook its wings and spoke to them, claiming that it was sent by Venerable Master Luo to tell the princess to go back to the palace. It said that if the princess did not go back, the master would block the Cangshan Mountain with snow and let her and the hunter freeze to death on the Cangshan Mountain.
The princess said to the crow:
'I am married to the hunter, and I will live and die with him.
After the raven flew away, the clear sky became dark, the wind howled, and then there were snowflakes. The snow fell more and more, the whole Dali Dam became white, the whole Cangshan Mountain is covered with snow. The entrance to their cave was piled up with three feet of snow, and the piercing snow wind poured into the cave. The animal skins hanging in the entrance of the cave were blown away by the wind, the wood blocking the entrance of the cave was crushed by the snow, and the storm blew so much that the firewood could not be burned. The princess was used to living in the palace, how could she endure such cold, she was freezing and shivering. The hunter was so sad that he said to the princess:
'Master Luo Quan has a robe of eight treasures, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, so I'll go and bring it to you, and then you will be able to withstand the snowstorm.
The princess said worriedly:
'Master Luo Tsuen is trying to get us killed by blocking Cangshan Mountain with snow, if you go to Luo Tsuen Monastery to get the robe, you'll be throwing yourself into the trap, so you'd better not go!
The hunter comforted the princess, saying:
'Many wolves, tigers and leopards have died under my command, so what is the master of the temple? Don't worry, I'll be back soon.
The hunter went to the entrance of the cave, stretched out his arms, and rose up in the air, facing the snowstorm, and flew to the east of the sea. He flew to the Raksuan Monastery. He took the Eight Treasures Robe from Venerable Master Lo Tsuen's Zen seat, attached it to his waist and flew back to Yubing Peak. When he flew over the Erhai Sea, Venerable Master Lo Tsuen suddenly chased him out of the temple, reciting incantations and hitting the hunter with a futon. He hit the hunter right on the back, and the hunter fell down from the sky like a goose hit by an arrow, and became a stone mule when he landed at the bottom of the sea.
The princess waited for her husband's return in the cavern through the snow and wind, and she waited from morning to night, and from night to day, but she never saw him. She was anxious, Luo Luan sent the crow told her: the hunter has been killed by Luo Luan body fell into the Erhai, into a stone mule buried at the bottom of the sea forever. The princess was so sad and angry that she died in the cave a few days later. After her death, her essence rushed to the top of the Jade Council Peak, turning into white clouds, rising and falling, as if looking into the depths of the Erhai Sea. At this time, the Erhai Sea above the white clouds floating, and the peak of the white clouds echo, then the wind was fierce, set off a huge wave, until the sea water to scrape away, out of the stone mule, the wind and waves will stop.
From then on, every year in the winter months, this white cloud appeared on the peak of the jade bureau, it is called the hope of husband cloud
The white cloud was the first to appear on the peak of the jade bureau.
