Mazu, formerly known as an official family, is the 22nd granddaughter of Wang in Jin 'an County, Fujian Province. His father Lin Yuan is the governor of Ninghai Town. His mother Chen is a local noble family. Two people do more good deeds and accumulate more virtues.
One night, Mazu's mother Chen dreamed that Guanyin Bodhisattva kindly said to her, "Your family has accumulated virtue and done good deeds. Now I will give you a pill, which is worthy of Tzu Chi's gift. " So Chen got pregnant. One evening, when Chen was about to give birth, he saw a red light coming into the room from the northwest, which was dazzling and fragrant for a long time. I heard rumbling around again, like the roar of spring thunder, which slowly turned purple. Chen felt a vibration in his abdomen and Mazu was born. Because of the strange life, I love it very much. She was born without crying, so her father named her "Mo".
Mazuyi has one brother and five sisters. She is young and clever, less than one year old. When she was still in infancy, when she saw the idol, she folded her hands and worshipped it. At the age of five, I was able to recite the Guanyin Sutra. When she was eight years old, she went to a private school to study, and she could quickly master the articles taught by her teachers. In her teens, she believed in Buddhism and recited scriptures, and she worked tirelessly in the morning and evening. At the age of thirteen, Xuan Tong, an old Taoist, often visited her house and said to her, "You are a fairy and deserve a reward." So I taught her the "mysterious secret method" and she could understand the gist by practicing according to law.
When Mazu was sixteen, she played around with a group of little girls and put on makeup in the well. Suddenly, I saw a man of God holding a pair of bronze symbols, rushing into the well, then being surrounded by a fairy class and giving her the bronze symbols. The girlfriends ran away in fear, and Mazu generously accepted the gift and changed it quickly. Since then, although she is in the house, she can often wander around. There is not a time when good or ill luck is not fulfilled. Mazu can also fly across the sea, rescue shipwrecks, and often save lives and eliminate disasters. People from far and near are very grateful to her and call her "goddess" and "dragon lady"
One autumn day when Mazu was sixteen, her father and brother crossed the sea to the north. At that time, Mazu was carefully weaving in the boudoir, and suddenly he fell on the loom and closed his eyes. His face suddenly changed. Grasp the shuttle with one hand and express it with the other, step on the shaft of the machine with both feet firmly, and try your best to support it for fear of losing anything. When her mother found out, she was very scared and woke her up quickly. Mazu accidentally dropped the shuttle to the ground. She opened her eyes, stamped her foot, and cried, "My father was saved, but my brother fell into the sea and died!" " "
Her mother, Chen, was very alarmed and quickly sent someone to inquire about the news. After a while, someone reported that Mazu was telling the truth. At that time, her father was in a rage and panicked. Several times, it seemed that someone was secretly helping them stabilize the rudder and get close to her brother's boat, but her brother had destroyed it. As soon as Mazu closed his eyes, he stepped on his father's boat and grabbed his brother's rudder. Mom woke her up, the shuttle fell to the ground, and my brother's rudder turned over. My father escaped from danger and went home, while my brother was swallowed up by the rough waves.
After his brother drowned, Mazu accompanied his mother, sister-in-law and several villagers and sailed to the vast sea to find his brother's body. At that time, the sea was rough, and they suddenly found a group of aquatic animals gathered on the sea, and everyone could not help but be afraid. Mazu said, don't be afraid, and told the aquarium not to meet. Suddenly, the color of the water became clear, and her brother's body floated on the sea. Only then did she know that it was the water god who escorted her brother's body. Finally, her brother's body was brought back, and the residents of Meizhou Island praised Mazu's filial piety and charity. Since then, whenever Mazu's birthday comes, there will be groups of big fish in front of the cocoon in the middle of the night, as if dancing to welcome them, and then they will disperse at dawn.
On one occasion, General Xu Jinguo scattered his troops and invaded the Central Plains, and was besieged by Song Jun in Badian Beach. Servant three rows used a large sum of money to buy a riffraff as a guide, and led the defeated troops to sneak out of Badian Beach with a golden cicada. Servants narrowly escaped death, but they had no face to return to Guo Xu, so they gathered in the mountains and took the mountains as their enemies. They raped * * * women, burned and looted, and committed all kinds of crimes. Within dozens of miles of Fiona Fang, Fiona Fang, people have suffered a lot.
When the scouts of the army reported to the imperial court, Song Ningzong immediately sent general Bi Zaiyu to lead troops to annihilate them.
The army came to the foot of Jinshan. General Bi Zaiyu ordered his soldiers to camp and led several Qin Bing to the front of the mountain to check the terrain. But see the towering peaks of Jinshan, where there are many trees. The shanzhai is built at the peak of Jinshan, surrounded by cliffs, which is really easy to defend but difficult to attack. General Bi thought: The golden mountain is high and dangerous, and the cottage is strong. If we attack now, it will inevitably cause heavy casualties, but the sacred life of the emperor is just around the corner. How can we stay put? He had to order an all-out attack on the bandits who occupied the farmhouse. However, Song Jun attacked for several days, which not only failed to get close to Zhai Village, but also caused many casualties. General Bi returned to the camp sadly, thought about it, and there was nothing he could do.
Suddenly, the cry of the wounded came from the camp: "Mazu ... Blessing ..." The general's heart suddenly lit up. He immediately walked out of the tent, knelt on the ground and prayed silently to heaven, hoping that Mazu would show his spirit and help him repel the invasion of nomadic people.
At first light the next day, I suddenly heard soldiers calling in front of the camp, and people were buzzing. The general was surprised, thinking that thieves had attacked the barracks, so he braced himself and rushed out of the account. I saw a group of soldiers looking at a huge mirror and pointing. The general stepped forward to watch, only to see a giant mirror as big as a desktop and as bright as the sun and the moon. He called back to the soldier and asked about the cause and effect of the big mirror.
A soldier told him that in the early hours of the morning, he suddenly heard a "buzzing" cry outside the account. Everyone went out to have a look and found this giant mirror lying flat on the ground, and I don't know where it came from. The general was also surprised. He touched the mirror with his hand and found it was made of copper. He ordered the soldiers to hold up the huge mirror. I just glanced at my face when suddenly a fire came at me. If the general doesn't get away quickly, his eyebrows and beard will be burned to ashes. He looked at the huge mirror, then at the thief's village, and his plan came to mind ... Near noon, General Bi took advantage of the thief's slight slack in the village and made the soldiers ready to go. After he ordered the army to crush him, he personally took hundreds of strong men and came to Jinshan with a giant mirror.
When Song Jun came to the hut with a big mirror, he was discovered by the robbers' minions. They were about to launch bows and arrows and light cannons. Suddenly, there was a flash of fire in the village, and a fire dragon was shot from a huge mirror. There was a bang, and a fire broke out at the entrance of the village. Thieves and soldiers were frightened when they saw it. At this time, the brigade Song Jun took the opportunity to kill the past and attacked the stronghold. In less than an hour, hundreds of stealthy people were captured alive and more than 100 horses were captured. Song Jun won by a landslide.
After Song Ningzong knew the miracle of Mazu Jinshan's war aid, he made a decree to seal the title of "Xianwei".
Song Taizong yongxi four years, matsu 28 years old. On the day before the Double Ninth Festival, Mazu said to his family, "My heart is too clean. I don't want to live in this mortal world and associate with ordinary people. Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, and I want to climb the mountain. Say goodbye to you in advance. " Everyone advised her to climb high and overlook, not knowing that she was going to become a fairy. The next morning, Mazu burned incense and recited scriptures, and said to many brothers and sisters, "Today, I want to climb a mountain and travel a long way to realize my wish, but the road is difficult and dangerous, so you can't accompany me." Sisters smiled and comforted her and said, "Just swim, why worry!" Mazu then bid farewell to her sisters and went straight to the highest point of Mae Peak. At this time, I saw the dark clouds on the Mae Peak, and a white air went straight into the sky, as if I heard the fairy music played by a string of silk and bamboo in the sky, which went straight into the sky and reflected the rainbow. Mazu flies between heaven and earth in a popular cloud, overlooking the world, looming. Suddenly, the clouds were mixed up and out of sight. From a distance, Meizhou people are all attracted by their necks and are all amazed.
