Legend of Mengshan Mountain in Pingyi
A long time ago, there was a nameless mountain in this place. On the top of the mountain, there is an ancient Longtan, located in the depths of the East China Sea. Whenever there is drought, the water in the pool will fog, spread clouds and rain, and water flowers, trees and crops. Therefore, the scenery here is beautiful, birds and flowers are fragrant, and the Lebanese people live and work in peace and contentment. But I don't know when a chinemys reevesii appeared in this old Longtan. There will be no more clouds and rain on this mountain. Since then, vegetation has withered, flowers have withered, and birds and beasts have scattered. Only shameless bats acted as chess pieces for turtles. When visiting Taublom, swarms of bats cleared the way and turtles went down the mountain in the fog. When you are thirsty, you want to drink mule and horse blood, and when you are hungry, you want to eat beef liver. He killed a hundred cows and horses at a time, and then went back to Longtan to bask in his belly. When the chrysanthemums are in bloom, they go down the mountain with bats. This season, it no longer hurts cattle and horses. When it is thirsty, it wants to drink the blood of virgins, and when it is hungry, it wants to eat the heart of virgins. It killed a hundred virgins at a time, and then it went back to the old Longtan and curled up. As a result, within a few hundred miles around the mountain, there are few people and barren land, and the rest are old, weak and sick. They live in fear every day.

There is a village called Baimaguan at the foot of this mountain. Two brothers, Bai Lian and Bai Yuan, live in the village. Their mother died when they were not sensible; Just when they were sensible, their father died again. Before his father died, he called his brothers and sisters to his side and told them: The old monk who went down the mountain said that if a clever virgin embroidered a hundred goshawks and set them free together, she could peck off the turtle's eyes and eat up its meat. Bai Lianhua and Bai Pingyuan kept them in mind, determined from childhood and devoted themselves to the people. When the turtles went down the mountain, they hid in the cave. After the tortoise returned to the mountain, he concentrated on planting mulberry and sericulture, spinning and weaving. White lotus learns embroidery as soon as she has time. When they were fourteen or fifteen, they smoked enough colored silk and knitted enough white silk. Bai Lianhua tried to embroider a golden-winged bird, which flew into the sky. So my brother looked at the tortoise with a spear in his hand, and Bai Lianhua embroidered an eagle in the room. She sleeps in the middle of the night and forgets to eat or sleep. Every day, a gorgeous fly rolls its eyes and appears on the white silk. Every time she embroidered a flower, Bai Lian locked it in the cupboard to prevent it from flying away. She embroidered ninety-nine goshawks for ninety-nine days in a row. Seeing one more, my brother and sister's wish will come true. There will be many flowers and fruits on the mountain, and people can live and work in peace and contentment again. Just then, a bat spied the news and flew quietly to report to the tortoise. At dawn, Baiyuan fell asleep. The tortoise came to the village with a cloud and mist, aimed at the embroidering room in Anbaili, blew out three demon winds, and blew open the gate and the flower window. White lotus was dizzy, stopped sewing and fell to the ground. Bai Yuan, who was awakened by the wind, saw that the situation was not good, picked up her sister and went into the cave. After Bai Lian woke up, her beautiful eyes were blind, and finally the goshawk was not embroidered. The younger brothers and sisters hugged each other and cried, but they were not discouraged. Baiyuan traveled all over the country, seeking treatment for her sister's eyes. On this day, he went out for medical treatment. A hundred-year-old farmer told him that there was a kind of snow grape in the remote Himalayan mountains. The deaf can hear when they eat, but the blind can see when they eat. There is no incurable disease. After Bai Yuan told her sister the good news, she immediately set out to pick snow grapes. Sister pulled him into her arms. Walking alone for three years. Let her suffer the wine. You are too young to stand so much suffering! "White original don't listen to my sister's advice, determined to go. He entrusted his sister to a hundred-year-old farmer, packed his bags and left home.

I have traveled one journey after another, day after day. Go sideways into the forest, build a stone cliff, and catch kudzu vine down the deep stream. Clothes are painted like clothes, and hair is unkempt like grass. Wild fruits and wild vegetables fill the stomach, and the mountain springs are ice and snow. White original so hard to move forward. On this day, he was crossing the strange stone mountain when he suddenly heard a roar. He climbed up the strange rock and looked up. A tiger with cold eyes swaggered past. The strange stone below him opened his mouth and said, "Go home 100 yuan. Don't get into trouble at an early age. If the tiger sees you, it will be difficult for brother and sister to meet again! " White original not timid, still climbing forward. When he was crossing Mosonglin, a strong wind shook the earth. He hid in a tree hole and saw a 100 kg carving catch a wild sheep and roared past. The old pine tree opened its mouth and said to him, "Let's return a hundred yuan. Don't get into trouble at an early age. It's hard to go home after seeing you! " White original is not timid, still climbing forward. ...

After one journey after another, day after day, Baiyuan finally came to the Himalayas. At the top of the white snow-capped mountain, he saw the green leaves of vines and found sparkling snow grapes. Facing the cold wind and stepping on the ice and snow, he painted vines, braided baskets and filled them with snow grapes. Regardless of fatigue, he picked up the basket and walked back. Along the way, all the deaf-mute, blind, tuberculosis and other patients recovered after eating the snow grapes he gave them. Soon, he returned to his hometown and let his sister eat snow grapes, and his eyes immediately lit up. I didn't kiss my brother. He suffered a lot, threw himself on the white silk, flew the needle and pulled the wire, but embroidered the hundredth goshawk for a long time. White lotus and Bai Yuan each held fifty goshawks and took to the mountain ridge in the village. They said happily in unison: "Go, go, fly, peck the turtle's eyes blind and eat up the turtle's meat!" " With that, he walked to the old Longtan. When his hand was scattered, a hundred goshawks spread their wings and flew to the old Longtan with a crow. The tortoise basked in the sun proudly by the pool, and before it could dodge, it was tossed up and down. A hundred screaming goshawks pecked out their eyes and ate up the meat. The remaining skeleton was dragged to Longtan by the eagles and turned into a huge stone like a turtle, which was seriously covered by the pool. Most of the bats that created turtle ventilation were regarded as food for eagles, and the rest got into mouse holes, only in the dark could they climb out and fly around. Since then, the mountains are full of flowers and fruits, and the scenery is beautiful, and the Lebanese people live and work in peace and contentment again. Later, temples, statues and monuments were built for Anbaili and Baiyuan brothers and sisters on the huge turtle stone.

It is this story that is engraved in the inscription. The last few words are: "The tortoise demonized the boulder, built the old Longtan, built a temple on top, and stayed in the world." People took three words from it as the name of the mountain peak-"Guimengding". There is a mountain in the northeast of Cuizhu called Scorpion Mountain, and there is a pavilion on the top of it called Ranjun Pavilion. Standing in the pavilion, I feel that the sky is wide and the breeze is blowing, which is very comfortable. Once an anonymous person went to the pavilion to leave a poem saying, "The lake in the south is like a mirror, and the peak in the north is green and floating." One pavilion, one person, one pot of wine, and the fog worships turtles. "

Legend has it that in the past, Scorpion Mountain was flooded by scorpions, and thousands of scorpions fled to nearby villages, stinging many people and animals. People try their best to get rid of these scorpions. Later, people invited an old Taoist priest from Maoshan to build the Golden Rooster Temple nearby, and the scorpion disappeared from then on. No scorpions have been found on Scorpions Mountain so far.

Although there are no scorpions on Scorpions Mountain, there are many scorpions in other parts of Mengshan Mountain, and the scorpions in front of Guimengding Mountain have two more legs than those in other places, which is a "scorpion" with high medicinal value, among which the scorpions in Pingyi County are the most authentic and famous. As early as 1 100 years ago, it was recorded in the medical classic Shu Bencao.
