The youngest grandson of the East China Sea Dragon King was naughty and playful when he was a child. When Xiao Sunlong was two years old, he was tired of playing with the sea and wanted to visit the land, so he sneaked out of the Dragon Palace and took grandpa's rain beads. Xiao went to Dongting Lake along the Yangtze River. He threw raindrops into the lake and lost track of time when he was happy. The rainstorm lasted for nearly a month, and the flood in Dongting Lake flooded many human and animal fields. Just as the four heavenly kings were patrolling the worse heaven, they were shocked to see a little dragon making waves in the lake. Xiao Longsun was very scared when he saw the fierce appearance of the four heavenly kings. He vomited a mouthful of white fog to cover up his escape. He ran a long distance tired and hungry. Seeing that the pursuer was getting closer and closer, he looked down and saw a mountain stretching thousands of miles. In desperation, he jumped down the mountain and went deep, trying to find a hiding place. However, when he landed, he found that it was a rocky mountain, bare, dry and hard, and he could no longer move. The four heavenly kings tied the little dragon to the boulder on the top of the mountain with fairy ropes, ready to cramp and peel this little demon that harms all beings. When the Dragon King of the East China Sea heard the news, he pleaded with the Four Heavenly Kings for Little Dragon Sun. The four heavenly kings promised not to execute Xiaolong, but put a spell: "If it weren't for petrified water, there would never be a day to return to the sea." This fairy rope can only be lifted by the joint efforts of the four heavenly kings. The old dragon king has nothing to do, so he has to take away the rain beads and leave his beloved little grandson in the barren hills.
Day after day, year after year, Xiao Sunlong endured the wind, sun, cold and heat. One day, many people came down from the mountain. They built houses and settled on the dam, and cultivated land. However, after several months of drought, crops withered and some people died of thirst. People knelt on the ground all day and prayed for rain, but the sky remained unchanged. A few days later, I saw a few people carrying a baby to the dam, lit incense, and prepared to chop up the baby to worship heaven. Sun can't stand it. He tried to save lives, but he couldn't move. In desperation, he tore off a scale with his dragon's paw, rubbed it into powder and threw it down the mountain. The scale powder suddenly turned into a rainstorm, the crops were saved and people survived. The phoenix on the top of the mountain in the distance saw it and said to him, "I went to the opposite mountain a few years ago, but I heard that there were dragons here, so I have been afraid to come, but I don't think you are as vicious as the legend." When Xiao Sunlong remembered the disaster he caused when he was young, he felt remorse and vowed to help people atone in the future. So, Xiao Fenghuang took Xiao Sunlong as a friend and stayed with him day and night. When he tore off the scales, he went to collect a magical leaf to heal his wound.
A few years later, more and more people settled down at the foot of the mountain. However, after years of drought, Xiao Sunlong has caught up with all the scales to save people from rain. Seeing that people are going to starve to death again, he is very anxious and distressed. It happened that an old man riding a green cow pointed out that as long as Phoenix is willing to peck off the fairy rope for Xiao, it can not only save Xiao, but also save the people at the foot of the mountain. After that, the old man rode away on a green cow. Phoenix is glad that it can finally save its good friend from suffering, but the fairy rope is very strange. Whenever she is tired of pecking and has a rest, the gap in the fairy rope will be restored. Phoenix only pecked for 360 days, and all the beautiful slender mouths were ground, only a small part of the rope was missing. Phoenix doesn't want to give up. When she continued pecking, her mouth was bleeding. When blood dripped on the rope, the rope unexpectedly disappeared.
Xiao Sunlong was very moved and jumped for joy. However, as soon as he flew, he fell to the ground. This fall is not important. I saw that the top of the mountain was abruptly opened by him, but the body full of wounds was tightly caught in the gap, and I couldn't move at all, and my eyes slowly closed. Phoenix was shocked by this sudden change. She took great pains to save her good friend, but died in the blink of an eye. Did she save him or hurt him? Phoenix couldn't help crying. Her tears fell on a stone, and the stone turned into water at once. She cried until the second day of February the following year. At this time, the stones in the Huasong Rift Valley flooded and the water gradually merged into a lake. When the lake overflows Xiao's body. At this time, a strange image happened. The dead little dragon Sun suddenly raised his head, and then flung himself forward. Suddenly, several big mountains cracked a winding seam, which was hundreds of feet deep, forming a canyon and leading directly to the dam outside the mountain. The lake flowed out along the canyon, forming a river ditch. The stones on the mountain slowly turned into mud, dense vegetation began to grow on the bare mountain, and the weather became favorable.
For thousands of years, the ditch that was knocked open by a small bump has been winding along the Taiping River at the foot of the mountain. Its water is clear and sweet all year round, and it has nurtured generations of people outside the mountain. Because there are dragons in the abyss from time to time, only the sound is heard, but the shape is not seen. In ancient times, people called this ditch "Qianlong ditch" and the mountain outside its source "Phoenix Mountain". They feel that Longfeng has not left and has been blessing the people in Yamugou. There has been no road in Yamugou, and the only way to enter the ditch is to follow the water upstream. The primitive and mysterious natural environment has created many stories about ghosts and gods, including the legend of "Ghost Valley Shenfu".
In ancient times, a villager's cow ran into a dumb ditch. In desperation, he had to follow them in to retrieve the cattle, but they didn't come back the next day. His wife called her mother's family and three brothers to help find them in the mountains. However, these people never came back. So everyone said there was a ghost in the ditch and no one dared to go in.
There are seven hunters in the distant mountains. They are strong, brave and knowledgeable. When they heard about it, they didn't believe it at all. They think that some kind of monster is hurting people in the mountains. They feel that they have been hunting in the mountains and forests since they were young, and their martial arts are high. They are used to dealing with wild animals and poisonous insects, so they are equipped with weapons and enough food to go into the ditch to find out and kill the people by the way. As a result, these people did not come back. Finally, this incident alarmed the Toast House, and Toast built a platform. But the next day, the toast died inexplicably, which made people more suspicious.
Shortly thereafter, a more bizarre situation appeared: people living nearby heard the cry of the big man from the depths of the canyon at the turn of midnight, intermittently, if there was no, half asleep and half awake, and when they woke up, the sound disappeared again. At the same time, whether it is sunny or rainy, the ditch will overflow irregularly, sometimes the water is red, and the crops on the dam at the mouth of the ditch are drowned every time, and the houses in the stockade are swept away. People who live in Taniguchi are afraid, so they have to give up Taniguchi's fertile land and move to other places to settle down. People said that the ditch was a "ghost valley" and the valley became pale.
One day, an old man came here. When he heard about it, he felt suspicious and went outside the Ghost Valley to look around. As a result, he said there were no evil images in the valley, but praised it as a good place for health preservation. But the villagers stuck to their previous views and couldn't believe what he said. In order to relieve the villagers' fears, the Taoist priest stayed in Taniguchi. During the Taoist's stay, the valley was calm and there were no legendary stormy waves. The water in the ditch is quiet and no longer harms people. The villagers who moved out began to move back to settle down.
After such a period of time, one day, everyone found out that the Taoist priest had disappeared, and they began to worry that the ghost valley would do something again after he left, so they looked for the Taoist priest everywhere. But I can't find it anywhere. A young man volunteered to go to the ghost valley to look for it. Everyone had no choice but to let him try, so the young man walked into the valley along the ditch. Deep in the valley, he was surprised to find a waterfall. There is a small apartment on the hill opposite the waterfall, and a bamboo building stands dozens of feet in Fiona Fang, showing a delicate octagon. When he walked into the bamboo house, a burst of bamboo incense came to his face, which made him feel relaxed and refreshed. It turned out that a bamboo incense burner carved with dragons and phoenixes was emitting fragrance. The windows of the bamboo house are bright and clean, and bamboo, bamboo chairs and bamboo beds are all available, clean and tidy. Just when he was full of doubts, he found a futon made of bamboo silk in the middle of the back room, which was spotless, so he curled up his legs and sat on it. After a while, a white-haired and sage-like old man came into the room with a bamboo slip, put it on the couch and turned away. The man was curious and was about to ask the old man something when he suddenly woke up and found that he had a dream. Look at the couch again, and sure enough, there is a glittering and translucent bamboo slip. It is engraved with the words "moving bamboo valley mouth, eternal peace".
After he returned to the village, he explained the story to everyone, so many people went to find the bamboo house together the next day. When they reached the waterfall, there was no bamboo house except a stone platform nearby. The stone stage is as smooth as jade and has a warm feeling. There is no dust and moisture on the stone surface. Everyone thought that this place was the place where the old man used to practice monasticism, but later he ascended to heaven, left this immortal mansion, and became a strange stone when he was touched by mortal spirits. So according to the instructions of the old man, everyone buried the bamboo slips at the entrance of the ghost valley. Soon after, some people were surprised to find that there were many bamboos growing in the place where bamboo slips were buried. Ditches also gradually disappeared and became birds and flowers. At night, there was no wailing and no more red water. All the strange phenomena in the past stopped, and people outside the Ghost Valley could finally live and work in peace and contentment for generations.
