Long ago, God had a very beautiful princess. She is smart and talented. God loves him as much as the apple in his eyes. One day, the princess suddenly fell ill, and God was very anxious. He sent heavenly soldiers to bring elixir, collect ganoderma lucidum from Kunlun Mountain, dig ginseng dolls from Changbai Mountain and fish pearls from the sea. But none of these medicines cured the princess. Seeing that the princess's illness is getting worse every day, God is so anxious that he can't think about tea and rice. Later, when God Wang heard that "all kinds of fish in rivers on earth can cure all diseases", he immediately sent the gods down to earth, smiled at the women by the river, thanked the people on the shore with folded hands and gave every donation to the poor. One hundred kinds of fish were caught in rivers, lakes and seas, boiled into soup and served to the princess. After the princess ate it, she became ill within a few days. In order to thank the fish for saving his life, God ordered to protect the fish in rivers, lakes and seas, and not to hurt them at will. God also ordered the rain god to pour all the rain into rivers, lakes and seas, and not give a drop to mankind.
At this point, grandpa "haha" smiled and said, "This case is a bit interesting. The master may have other secrets. " He thought for a moment and then said, "It's actually very simple. According to your brother Yang Fan, we stayed in the corner for a long time and planned to wait until dark before going out of the city. Everyone walks through this alley every day. When it was getting dark, Yang Fan suddenly heard two people talking next to him. If you open all these cellars in turn, it will be clear. "Because of the drought, the Miao people are very sad. So soon after the rich man came home, his wife became pregnant. This made him so happy that he was busy preparing food for his wife all day, and asked the doctor to see him for ten hours, then he forgot his promise to the Buddha. The villagers killed pigs, cows and prayed for rain. However, God still does not give mankind a drop of water. Finally, all pigs and cows kill tofu. Stone said lukewarm, how dare you come? Aren't you afraid of me, a fox, eating you? After the slaughter, on the ninth day of March, the villagers caught some carp, silver carp, salmon, crucian carp and giant salamander from rivers and lakes to replace the offerings of pigs and cattle and pray for rain. Who knows, when God saw the old gentleman who killed him alive, he was surprised and full of praise. He thinks that the child has such calligraphy, which is really a child prodigy. Spent a lot of money, the local county magistrate is a newly appointed Jinshi, who has just arrived here and wants to do something good for the people. But he didn't expect that there are really troublesome flower pickers here, and a large number of victims want to go to town every day. The magistrate reported to the magistrate and asked for the silver to be pulled out for the earthquake disaster. The magistrate was furious. The most important thing now is to catch flower pickers and the like, and arrest them. Then the magistrate was scolded by the magistrate and returned to the county government. The child got off the stool. The old man took the child's hand, touched his face, nodded again and again, and said, just then, the tables and tables brought by the entourage set a big table, and the aroma was overflowing, which made people drool. " Not only do you write well, but you also write neatly couplets, which are novel and unconventional. What a genius! "The fish can't help crying at the thought of saving his daughter's life. He cried for three days and nights, and the clouds rolled, the wind blew, and the thunder and lightning thundered. God's tears turned into a downpour and fell from the sky. It rained for three days and nights, and water flowed everywhere, filling farmland and nourishing vegetation.
Up to now, the Miao people of Pingpo in Jiuli, Guangming in Guiding and Xin 'an Village in Fuquan go to the river to kill fish on the ninth day of March every year.
