The myth and legend of black mother

According to legend, the old lady Hei was born in the Feng family in Yuncheng, Shanxi during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Twins, a man and a woman, the man is the first, the brother, the woman is the last, and the sister. His parents named his brother and sister Feng Changsheng, a boy, and Feng Mengyu, a girl. At the same time, he was born on June 24 of the lunar calendar. Brother and sister have been gifted and intelligent since childhood, and they are proficient in both literature and martial arts. When Feng Mengyao grew up to be 16 years old, he was endowed with pharmacology and medical skills. At the same time, it was catching up with the natural disasters and plagues in Shanxi, which caused many people to get pestilence and take their lives. Feng Meng's ballad is in his eyes and anxious in his heart. I had a dream at night and asked her to use Shanxi old vinegar to solve the plague. The next day, Feng Mengyao, with the support of his family, set up a tent outside and used Shanxi old vinegar to make people take it. It was strange and miraculous. Anyone who took Feng's vinegar immediately lifted the plague. At last, every family in Yuncheng area took the old vinegar and escaped the plague from heaven. Up to now, Shanxi people's favorite is Shanxi old vinegar.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was a juren named Guo Shouzhen who went to Beijing to take the exam. After several failed scientific examinations, he felt ashamed to go back to his hometown to meet his folks. Then he traveled around the world and settled down in a temple in Tai 'anshan, Shandong Province to practice in Taoism. One day, Taoist Guo came down from the mountain and returned to the temple. Suddenly, he saw a wounded fox running to him. As soon as Taoist Guo saw it, he knew that the fox was in trouble, so he put it under his robe and sat cross-legged on the ground to meditate. At this moment, two hunters ran to Taoist Guo and asked, have you seen a fox? Taoist Guo pointed to the northeast with his hand and said, "Go that way," and then closed his eyes and reposed as if nothing had happened. Second, when the hunter saw that this road was calm and his face did not change color, he believed that he was really heading northeast, so that the black fox could avoid this disaster. Taoist Guo carried the fox to the temple and kept it for more than a month. The fox's leg healed. Taoist Guo carried the fox to the mountain forest and put it on the ground. He said, You're all right. Don't drink so much in the future. Let's go. Hu Hu nodded three times to Taoist Guo and disappeared into the jungle.

Taoist Guo traveled to Benxi, Northeast China, preached and preached in Tiesha Mountain, and developed many believers. He founded Tiesha Mountain, the first mountain of Taoism in Northeast China-the birthplace of the eighth generation of Longmen Sect of Taoism in China.

Taoist Guo preached in Tiesha Mountain in Northeast China, with many disciples. Whenever something difficult is encountered, it can be solved invisibly. Taoist Guo knows that there is a fox invisible to solve the problem. This black fox is the black fox that he once saved. He has been following himself invisibly in order to repay his kindness. Guo Daochang set up a tablet next to the Tianguan Temple in Tiesha Mountain, which is called the Shenpai of the Great Immortal Black Old Lady, the protector of Tiesha Mountain. Long-term pension. So that there are no thrombosis patients in the 3 miles around Tiesha Mountain area, and all the villagers who ask for the black old lady have come true. Almost every family in Liaodong area offers the statue of the black old lady. Since then, the weather in Tiesha Mountain area has been favorable, and the country is prosperous and the people are safe.

In p>1743, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Taoist Guo led many Taoists to build the ancestral halls of the three founders of China Taoism, Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun, in the present Dita Village. The black old lady was also set up to protect the big fairy card for payment. From then on, the surrounding area of Sanqingguan was invisibly protected by the black old lady every day. No matter what, as long as you sincerely ask the black old lady to do things, almost everything came true, which was very effective.

There is a high mountain behind the Sanqingguan Temple in Tiesha Mountain, and there is a natural ancient cave at the top of it, formerly known as Tianguan Cave and Yulin Cave, and now Wanxian Cave. The cave is unfathomable and spectacular, with a grotesque entrance, which leads to a spacious Dojo and then a small entrance. Entering the cave from the small hole, it twists and turns. After entering, there is a spacious Dojo, which can accommodate one or two hundred people. There is a altar, a bed and a lamp post inside. This is the immortal cave where the old lady Daxianhei, the protector of Tiesha Mountain, cultivated. When people enter the cave, they feel wonderful as if they were in a fairyland.

in p>1746, Fengtian (now Shenyang) suffered from drought, and it didn't rain for several months. At that time, officials in the capital of Fengtian heard that Tiesha Mountain was long and profound, so they sent people to invite Taoist Guo to Fengtian to ask for rain. After Taoist Guo came to Fengtian, the Dojo was chosen in the current Taiqing Palace, and the pagoda was as high as three feet and six feet. At that time, the Dojo was located in a depression in Fengtian, and what Taoist Guo did was actually that the black old lady followed invisibly, and a heavy rain lifted the drought in Fengtian. At that time, officials in the capital of Fengtian offered 1, taels of gold to reward Guo Daoren, who refused. Officials in the capital of Fengtian asked Taoist Guo why? Taoist Guo proposed to build a Taoist temple on a piece of land. Where do you want the land? Taoist Guo said that he would set up a legal platform, with the approval of officials, and presented some gold and silver. Under the leadership of Taoist Guo, the Taoist Temple in Taiqing Palace in Shenyang was built in three years. Up to now, Shenyang Taiqing Palace has called Tiesha Mountain Sanqing Temple the upper house of Taiqing Palace and the lower house of Sanqing Temple.

The difference between Wanxian Cave in Yuntai Juanshu Mountain and Babao Yunguang Cave in Tiesha Mountain is that Babao Yunguang Cave in Tiesha Mountain is the fairy cave built by Li Changgeng, the long eyebrow of Tiesha Mountain, and Li Daxian often goes in and out of Wanxian Cave in Yuntai Juanshu Mountain opposite to talk with the old lady. Villagers in dozens of miles of Fiona Fang often see a colorful cloud leading from Wanxian Cave in Yuntai Juanshu Mountain to Babao Yunguang Cave in Tiesha Mountain, with colorful music, which is very beautiful and spectacular. Up to now, there is often a colorful cloud crossing the Taizi River, and the cloud head reaches the Earth Fairy Temple in the Yunguang Cave of Babel, where the protector of Tiesha Mountain, the big fairy black lady, is enshrined. In folklore, God is divided into three immortals, namely, heaven, earth and man, while the earth fairy is divided into three immortals, namely, fox, yellow and python, and the black old lady is changed by the fox fairy. A long time ago, there was an old road named Guo Shouzhen in Maanshan, Jimo, Shandong Province. Once he saved the black fox by alms, and then the fox somehow became a fairy. Later, Guo Shouzhen went to the Babao Yunguang Cave in Jiuding Tiesha Mountain to preach. In order to save his life, the fox went to Tiesha Mountain invisibly with him. When Guo Laodao was in trouble, he secretly helped him. Somehow, everyone thought that Guo Laodao had a high road, but Guo Laodao knew what was going on, so he set up a memorial tablet for the black fox in the side hall of Yunguang Cave called "Protecting the Black Immortal". After that, Black Fairy not only secretly helped Guo Shouzhen, but also gave pleasure and charity to the good men and women who came to make a wish on Tiesha Mountain, making Tiesha Mountain famous. The poor people in the square garden around Tiesha Mountain all call the black fairy the black old lady. If there is anything difficult, they all go to the side hall of Yunguang Cave to ask the black old lady for help. At the foot of the back slope of Tiesha Mountain, there was a family named Wang. The old couple lived a tight life, which was good. In those days, the poor families were so tired. Just the same, let the old couple worry-the old couple are over 5 years old, and there is not even a man and a woman. Busy during the day is not enough, but it's okay at night. Under the oil lamp, the old couple have a kang, face to face. You look at me and I look at you. The more you think about things, the farther you think about it, the more you think about it. It's boring to live a poor life, and your heart always feels empty and bottomless. Yes, I can still crawl with it now. When I get old, no one will scoop a bowl of cold water. Besides, who will give this poor family in the end? Isn't this royal incense fire broken? Swearing and talking, isn't this a stick for life? The old man thinks about everything. Maybe the Lao Wang family did something wrong in their last life and found me in this life? But my old man can't even step on ants in the aisle for more than half his life-why don't good people hug him? Alas, it is said that there is a black old lady in the Babao Yunguang Cave in Jiuding Tiesha Mountain. No, she can't be called that. She has to be called the protector of the dharma, Black Daxian, saying that she is responsive, especially clever and most pitiful to the poor. According to the elders, Guo Shouzhen, the pioneer of Tiesha Mountain, was invited to ask for rain in Fengtian. If it weren't for the big black fairy behind him, Guo Shouzhen might not be able to ask for rain. I don't know how many people would die of thirst in Fengtian City. If you believe in God, you will believe in it. Tomorrow, go to Yunguang Cave in Tiesha Mountain and burn a incense to her old man's house and make a wish, which is exactly the same. Thinking of this, the old man told his wife this idea. His wife was so worried that she didn't laugh for more than half her life that her heart didn't sew. When she heard the old man talk, her heart immediately lit up. She was so happy that she patted her thigh: "Oh, dead old man, why didn't you say it earlier?" Yes! " The next day was a sunny day, and the old couple climbed to the top of the Iron Temple with fragrant paper in their hands. The old couple of the Wangs climbed the 72-step winding mountain road, and they were so tired that they couldn't wait to enjoy the strange scenery of Tiesha Mountain like those literati wearing long gowns and coats. They came to the west annex hall of the brick shrine at the entrance of the Yunguang Cave in Babel, burned incense paper, and kowtowed to the rice-like straight door of the statue of the protector Black Immortal on the ground, with tears in their eyes. They kept begging: "Please show the immortal and let us grow old." It is true that sincerity is the spirit. After talking for less than a year, my wife really gave birth to a big fat boy. The old couple almost died of joy. Coke is in a hurry, maybe it's old, but my wife's milk just won't come down. I've also taken the medicine, and I've also taken some prescriptions for reducing milk for pig's feet and catfish, but there is still no milk. The child screamed "quack, quack, quack" when he was hungry, and the old couple's heart was worse than the cat's scratch. In a few days, the child was all skin and bones. His wife was so anxious that she kept grinding on the kang, and the old man was urged to find a way. Pharaoh coughed with his head stuffy. The more anxious, the worse. The next morning, my wife opened her eyes and saw that the old man was gone. The sun is about to set, and there is no sign of the old man. His wife is anxious to hug the hungry child and can't get off the ground, but she is afraid that the stubborn old man is too anxious to hang himself. At least I got a light before I saw the old man enter the gate. Lao Wang didn't enter the house, so he shouted happily: "Mom, there is a way this time!" " "What way? I am anxious to make people blink! " The old man did not wipe the sweat on his face, nor did he talk. He held out a big bottle full of water from his arms, poured the water into a small pot, lit the fire and boiled the water. When the water boiled, the old man grabbed the millet and put it in the pot to cook porridge. After the porridge was cooked, the old man took the small pot to the edge of the kang and asked his wife to drink it while it was hot. My wife didn't hit her teeth for a day, and she was so hungry that she drank it all. I only felt a ringing in my stomach, and the milk came, and the child was sucking. This time, my wife was cola, so she asked quickly. "What is this fairy water, so clever!" It turned out that Lao Wang's head stayed up all night last night, and just stared at dawn, he dreamed that the black fairy of Babel Yunguang Cave in Jiuding Tiesha Mountain came from the sky and fell to Lao Wang's head, pointing him face to face to pick up fairy water in the lotus basin of Babel Yunguang Cave, and then he could cook porridge and drink milk when he came back. After the old man woke up, he was so happy that he forgot everything that he neglected to tell his wife that he went to Tiesha Mountain early. Lao Wang finished taking the fairy water in one breath, and his wife fell to the ground in tears and ran to the yard to knock her head at Tiesha Mountain. After that, many poor families gave birth to babies without milk, so they went to the lotus basin in the Babao Yunguang Cave in Jiuding Tiesha Mountain to receive fairy water. The dharma protector Daxian was responsive and quite effective. Up to now, there are still records of this in "Tiesha Mountain Records". Now you see this hole, which is the cultivation abode of fairies and immortals of the black old lady. Every time after the rain, the Chu Qing cave is shrouded in clouds, as if the fairy appeared, which is called a spectacle.

There is also a legend that the black old lady was cultivated into an immortal by a black bear, and the so-called hero does not ask the source.
