It is said that a long time ago, the birds in the sky could not bear the cold and loneliness of the heavenly palace, so they met together and flew secretly to the lower world. As the saying goes, "The phoenix does not rest on a parasol tree," and the bird in the sky certainly does not rest on a precious land. The sky crane flies to the precious land of Hegang, and the sky rooster stops in the precious land of Jixi. Only Tianya and his wife had not found the treasure land yet. They flew and flew. One day they flew to the Anbang River. Seeing that the water here was like jade and the mountains were like black, white clouds were rising in the sky, and the mountains were shrouded in purple mist, so they folded their wings and landed. Take a look, you will see luxuriant vegetation, bright flowers, gurgling water, and abundant fish and shrimps. It is indeed a treasure land. Satisfied, the Tianya couple were so happy that they forgot to return to the Heavenly Palace. From then on, they settled down in this quiet and fertile place and reproduced their offspring without any worries. It was true at that time: the flowers bloomed and the water flowed without owners, and the birds sang and the fish leaped in love!
It is said to be a treasure land, but not only the scenery is beautiful, here, there is also light and heat stored underground, and there are hidden treasures! There is a hill nearby with beautiful peaks and lush trees. Because there is a square platform on the top of the mountain, people call it Sifangtai Mountain. It’s not surprising that white clouds and clear water complement each other, and green hills and green shadows are intertwined with each other. What’s strange is that every night, the platform on the top of the mountain emits a ray of light, like a giant wax burning towards the sky. , it shines for tens of miles from a distance, and every detail is visible in the near distance. The roe deer and elk cannot graze at night, and the oriole and lark cannot forage at night. Tianniao often come here to gather. Princess Tianya, the daughter of the Tianya couple, often comes here with her female companions to practice martial arts or trace dragons and phoenixes. Princess Tianya said that this is a treasure candle, connected with the earth's energy, and it is the door to the underground treasure house. We must protect it!
Wherever there are immortals, there are demons. There is a Seven-Star Bubble in the southeast of Sifangtai Mountain. There lives a thousand-year-old dragon in the bubble. Because it lives deep under the water, it always wants to find something to illuminate. One day while traveling at night, I saw a precious candle shining brightly on Sifangtai Mountain, with several beautiful girls sitting below doing embroidery. I suddenly wanted to rob him, and suddenly I transformed into a man who looked like a yaksha, and shouted loudly. "Whoever dares to take advantage of the light of my precious candle is seeking death!" She stepped forward and stretched out her hairy hands to hold the precious candle. When Princess Tianya saw this evil monster, she was so angry that her eyebrows stood up, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she shouted sternly. He said: "Where does this monster come from that dares to steal everyone's precious candle~" and then he got into hands with this dragon monster. The female companions also quickly held up their hands and tightly surrounded Bao Zhu. Princess Tian Ya fought with the dragon monster on the ground and in the sky for two hours. In the end, because the flowers and willows were weak, the princess was already dripping with sweat and her footwork was messy. She accidentally missed and was hit in the back by the monster's palm. She spit out a mouthful of blood. He fell to the ground, and all the girls went to save Princess Tianya. The dragon monster took the opportunity to carry the treasure candle. At this moment, a young man holding a medicine shovel suddenly rushed out from the side. With one shovel, he hit the monster in the thigh. The monster screamed, dropped the candle, and ran away.
It turns out that this young man lives at the foot of the mountain. His parents are regular visitors from Shandong who came to Guandong. They make a living here by collecting herbs and digging sticks (ginseng). Because his mother gave birth to him in a mountain stream, she named him Jian Shengzi. Thanks to this precious candle on the mountain, this poor family can make a living at night. That night, Jian Shengzi was helping his parents prepare medicinal materials in the hospital. Suddenly he saw a dark wind rolling on the mountain and a precious candle flickering. Then he heard the sound of fighting. Knowing that there was something strange, he picked up a medicine shovel and ran up the mountain to protect the lamp. Jian Shengzi defeated the dragon monster and saved the treasure lantern. Seeing that a woman was injured, he and his female companions carried her to his home. Jian Shengzi's parents personally prepared medicine to save her, but because the injury was too severe, all medicines were ineffective. . After hearing the news, Tianya and his wife came to see their daughter's face like tin foil and her breath like gossamer. They cried and begged Jian's father to save his daughter. The old man was twirling his silver beard with a sad look on his face, and after a while he said, "Except for the pair of mallets from Yunzhong Peak."
It turns out that there is a Yunzhong Peak hundreds of miles away in the southwest, and there is a stone pool at the foot of the mountain. People often see a pair of flowery and leafy sticks on the peak shining brightly in the reflection in the water. Everyone wanted to pick this pair of ginseng treasures, but there was a pair of beautiful tigers guarding the mountainside. It was difficult to get there. The old man also left in excitement and came back in despair. Today, in order to save the princess's life, he thought of these pair of ginseng treasures again. After Jianshengzi heard what his father said, he suddenly stood up and went to collect this ginseng treasure to save the princess's life. This is really: Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, you prefer to go to the tiger mountains!
The father sharpened the medicine shovel for him, the mother steamed the dry food for him on the road, the father-in-law Tianya brought him a thousand-mile horse, the mother-in-law Tianya hung up the saddle and harpoon for him, and Jian gave birth to a son. Then we set off. The journey was non-stop, hungry for meals and thirsty for drinks. That night, I arrived at the foot of Yunzhong Peak, tied up my horse, and carried a medicine shovel. Ignoring the steepness of the mountain and the slippery road, I climbed the vines and climbed the mountain.
Suddenly, when I reached the mountainside, I saw two green light pillars shining towards me. He knew that these were the tiger's eyes. There was a white warning line on the stone in front of him. He knew that as long as he took another step forward and crossed this boundary, the tiger would pounce on him. This is a boundary that my father didn't dare to cross back then, so why don't I dare to cross it either? At this time, he seemed to see the pale face of Princess Tianya again, and the swollen eyes of Tianya couple from crying, so he bravely took this life-threatening step. As soon as Jian Shengzi crossed the white boundary, sure enough, the colorful tiger suddenly roared, and then rushed towards him with the wind, so Jian Shengzi started a life-and-death fight with the tiger. They fought for dozens of rounds without deciding the winner or loser. While the stalemate was going on, the tiger guarding the ginseng in the back mountain heard the roar of the tiger in the front mountain and came to help. As the saying goes, a good punch is no match for hands. What's more, Jian Shengzi's opponents were two tigers. In addition, he was exhausted after a day's journey. After fighting for a few more rounds, he avoided the second tiger's attack, but he couldn't. Unable to escape the swipe of the tiger's tail, which was as hard as a steel whip, Jian Shengzi was swept by the tiger's tail and lay on the ground. The two tigers' front paws stepped on him, opening their bloody mouths, revealing their serrated fangs, and they were about to take Jian. Give birth to children to satisfy hunger.
At this extremely critical moment, two old men and women with gray hair and childlike faces came tremblingly down the mountain. They drove away the two beautiful tigers and asked Jian Sheng why he climbed Yunzhong Peak at midnight. Jian Shengzi saw that the two old men were kind-hearted, so he told the story of how the dragon stole the treasure candle, and how Princess Tian Ya protected the treasure candle and was injured. Now the princess was dying, so she came to this mountain to seek the treasure. When the two old men heard that Princess Tian Ya was dying, they were very surprised and said to Jian Shengzi: "No need to take ginseng treasure, I can just give you some hair and whiskers!" After saying that, the old woman took out the scissors and cut off a strand of hair on her head. The old man had silver hair, cut off a strand of silver beard, wrapped it up and handed it to Jian Shengzi, telling him to go back quickly to save the princess' life. Jianshengzi thanked the two elders for their kindness, carefully put the "hair beard" in his arms, and turned around to leave, but the old man stopped him again and said, "I'm afraid the monsters will come again to cause trouble in the future, so I'll give you a few more ginseng grains." The seeds will help you strengthen your muscles and bones so that you can fight against the dragon monsters." After saying that, she poured out a few ginseng seeds from the treasure gourd around her waist. The old woman took a handful of spring water and asked Jian to give birth to a son. Jianshengzi then paid his respects to his two elders, found a way down the mountain, and rode back. Along the way, he only felt hot and hot in his body. After the hot and hot weather passed, he suddenly felt light and healthy. He knew it was the magical power of ginseng seeds.
Fang rushed back to Sifangtai Mountain at noon the next day. Seeing that the princess was still unconscious and breathless, he quickly took out the "hair beard" given by the old man and took a look, where was the "hair beard"? ” were clearly the roots of ginseng. Only then did everyone realize that these old people were the legendary pair of ginseng treasures. So he hurriedly made ginseng soup and drank it with the princess. It was really effective. Soon after taking it, the princess's face gradually turned red, she woke up, and she recovered in a few days. In order to repay their great kindness, the Tianya couple betrothed their daughter to Jian to have a son as his wife. After the marriage, the young couple respected each other as guests, loved each other, and lived a sweet life.
As for the dragon monster, as expected, the old man Bao Bao was determined to be evil. After recovering from his injuries, he invited another dragon to rob the treasure candle. Tianya and his wife had already prepared to invite him. All the birds in the sky guarded the precious candle together, and a battlefield was lined up between Liangqixingpao and Sifangtai Mountain. They fought every day, until the sky was gloomy and the sun and the moon were dim.
Since Jian Shengzi ate ginseng seeds, he had extraordinary powers. He fought with dragon monsters. He was as agile as a white ape exploring the moon, and as fierce as an eagle hunting rabbits. He even swung his shovel like a stick and whirred. When the wind blows, the dragon monsters will retreat if they can't resist it, and finally disappear into Qixingpao's lair. Jianshengzi took advantage of his courage and chased the dragon until Qixingbao was looking for a fight with the dragon. Seeing that her husband hadn't come back for a long time, Princess Tian Ya made her husband's favorite flat food (Shandong people call "dumplings" "flat food") and drove a small boat to deliver the meal to her husband. But when I got there, I couldn't find my husband. I saw the water in the pool churning up and down, like a boiling pot. It was calm for a long time, but a few streaks of bright red blood appeared on the water. Princess Tianya thought her husband had been killed, so she cried and sailed back, crying and throwing food into the river to pay homage to her husband's spirit. After returning home, she waited day after day, but could not wait for her husband to come. Princess Tianya would not drink or eat, cried day and night, and became ill with depression.
It turns out that Jian Shengzi chased the dragon monsters to the bottom of the bubble, and then started fighting with the dragon monsters up and down in the water. After the fight was so intense, he didn't even bother to go home and eat the monster meat. , thirsty for drinking the blood of strange dragons.
There was no sun or moon in the water, and they fought for seven or forty-nine days before finally slaying all the underwater dragon monsters and rushing home with blood all over their bodies. When they saw it, their wife, Princess Tianya, had already passed away. Jian Shengzi was so sad that he built a tall steamed bun-shaped stone tomb at the foot of Sifangtai Mountain to bury his wife, so that his wife's fragrant soul under the spring would forever guard this precious candle - this is the Mantou Mountain we see today; Jian Shengzi Then he went to comfort the Tianya couple. Unexpectedly, the Tianya couple sadly lost their daughter and turned into two duck-shaped peaks. Looking at their daughter's grave, they guarded this underground treasure - this is today's Shuangya Mountain, which is famous at home and abroad. Where is the child born in Jian? It also turned into a straight mountain peak, high and steep, like a warrior guarding this treasured land forever. This is what people today call "Jianshanzi". Mayingjian Mountain in the southern suburbs of Shuangyashan City is the saddle that Jian gave birth to his son in those days; Sifangtai Mountain is still lush with trees, and the Qixing River flows at the foot of the mountain. The river where Princess Tianya brought food to her husband is still called Bianshi River to this day! The people of Shuangyashan have been inseparable from Tianya since ancient times, and have an inseparable friendship of flesh and blood. No wonder people named this beautiful city after "Shuangyashan".
