One day at noon, after eating Liu Dam's porridge, the old Taoist asked Liu Dam if he wanted to sell wine and food? Liu Dam said that if he wanted to, he just didn't have the capital to sell wine.
The old Taoist saw this and asked Dam to fetch a large water tank. Then he went to the pit behind to bring in clean water, which flowed into the water tank and turned into fragrant water and wine. From then on, Liu Damu started selling good wine. The family gradually became richer.
As soon as his family got rich, Damn Liu was no longer as diligent as before, and even bought slaves to keep his maids.
One day, someone from the village came to buy wine grains from her to raise pigs, but she had no wine grains to sell, so she complained that the old man only gave him wine instead of grains. It would be better to make money if you have both.
The next spring, the strange old Taoist passed by here. When Liu Dam saw him, he hurriedly walked over and grabbed him, asking him to give him the wine grains. The old man smiled and said, "Okay! If you want it to be bad, it will be bad." After that, he walked towards the back pit.
Lao Dao did not come back after he left, so Liu Damu hurriedly asked people to go to the back mountain to have a look. I saw a pile of distiller's grains piled on the side of the stone, with a line of words left on the stone: "My mother's heart is as high as the sky, and the water in the pit turns into wine, which is not bad." Below it is written the words "Lice Mother Fairy". At this time, people realized that the strange old Taoist turned out to be the Lice Mother Fairy.
From then on, the wine in Liu Damu’s wine vat was still water, with no smell of wine at all. Therefore, the saying "The heart of a mother-in-law is as high as the sky, and the pit water turns into wine and there is nothing bad" has become a common saying that satirizes greedy people. It is said that after the Lice Mother Fairy came down from Shuimotan, she went east along the foot of Dongshan Mountain and came to the foot of Zoutang Mountain to live in the "Yinxian Cave".
One day, I stood on the big rock at the entrance of the cave and looked forward. At the foot of the mountain, there was a flat plain and a vast river. I turned around and looked at the mountain behind. Mount Zoutang looked like a screen. "Tang, Zou Hall has a good back wall."
The praises of the Lice Mother Fairy reached the ears of Nanzhuang Gong of the Zheng clan in Zoudang. Nanzhuang Gong thought to himself, "Maybe it is the legendary Lice Mother Fairy." He went to build a gate tower. The "Red Gate Tower" and "White Gate Tower" on the top of Wumen in Zoudang were built by the Lice Mother Fairy.
Not long ago, a Lincuo ancestral hall was built for the forest members of Fengming Village; Wengcuoliao, a member of Wengcuo Village, asked him to build the ancestral tomb of the Weng family; Longcun also invited people to build a temple in the village. The temple that Longcun Chen asked the Immortal Mother to build was located in the southeast of the village. It was not dedicated to the three mountain kings but to the local master of the village. After the temple was completed, the Immortal Mother of the Immortal was built. It is suggested that the name should be changed to "Master Longwei". In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Yifang from Sixiang moved to Wailong Village and created the surname Chen in Houtian Village. He imitated Wailong Chen and enshrined "Master Longwei". There is still a Longwei Master at the end of Yandun Mountain in the east of Houtian Village. The palace is the "Longwei Lord" built by Lice Mother Fairy.
Later, the Lice Mother Fairy was picking land for people at the foot of Sangpu Mountain. One day when he was taking a nap, he took off his fairy clothes and put them on the table before going to bed. The lady who invited him to pick the land saw that her clothes were full of lice. , mistakenly thought it was unclean, boiled a pot of water to soak the fairy clothes, and when the fairy clothes were put into the water, "Pip! Roar!" sounded, and many lice died. At this time, the lice mother fairy on the bed was in pain all over her body. She woke up suddenly, shook her head and sighed: "God's will! God's will! My life is not long!"
From then on, He Yeyun couldn't afford to fall ill, so he called to pick him up. The owner of the land gave him the "Wei Yi Jie" written by him, which he had learned about curing rare and complicated diseases and land surveying and building houses. The next day, the Lice Mother Fairy wandered away, never to return, her fate unknown.
It is said that Chaoshan’s knowledge of curing rare and complicated diseases, observing Feng Shui, selecting land to build houses, and building tombs came from "Wei Yi Jie". Unfortunately, this book later disappeared, and it is just a rumor. In some villages on the north side of Danan Mountain, when lanterns are put up during the Lantern Festival, a handful of banyan (pronounced "Cheng") bamboo branches and leaves are hung on the top of the door.
According to legend, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, peasant rebellions broke out everywhere. Chen Youliang in the south of the Yangtze River was assisted by military counselor He Yeyun. He was invincible and marched to Chaoyang. On the morning of the 14th day of the first lunar month, a woman came to the rebel camp and cried out to the rebels to save her life.
This woman was originally the maidservant of a rich man. When the rich man heard about the arrival of the rebels, he was afraid that his house would be ransacked, so he secretly sent someone to contact the Yuan army and prepared to offer his maidservant to the leader of the Yuanjun army as a concubine. The maidservant heard the news and came over at night. In the rebel camp, he asked for help. When Chen Youliang heard the news, he drew his sword angrily and ordered troops to capture the rich man and attack the Yuan army. The woman bowed her head and expressed her gratitude.
When the order was sent to the Chinese army and they were about to leave the tent, the woman suddenly knelt down and said:
"The rebel army pitied the weak and resisted violence to save the slave's life. The slave should repay the favor by holding a ring and knotting grass. It's just a slave. The neighbors and fellow villagers are all kind-hearted people. I am afraid that when the rebels arrive, they will be implicated. Please think twice before sending troops!"
Chen Youliang frowned and held his sword in silence as he listened. At this time, Military Advisor He Yeyun stepped forward and said:
"This is not difficult. After you go home, you can tell the kind people in the village to hang a handful of banyan bamboo branches on the door as a sign. When the rebels see it, Rongzhu is right not to come in and cause any disturbance!"
"Okay!" Chen Youliang asked the woman to go home quickly and secretly follow the military advisor's plan.
On the afternoon of the 14th day of the first lunar month, Chen Youliang's rebel army attacked the Yuan army and captured the rich man. There was a banyan bamboo hanging on the door facing the reporter. Sure enough, Qiu had no fault. From then on, every Lantern Festival, the villagers in this area also hung a handful of banyan bamboo leaves on the top of their doors when they put up lanterns. After the Lice Mother Fairy came down from Danan Mountain, she lived in Shanmen (now Wenguang) Village and helped build the village gate. While building the gate of the village, the Lice Mother Fairy thought that she should do something good for the people here. She felt that there were mercury fir seeds in the bag, so she sowed them nearby. To this day, the mercury fir in Wenguang Township is said to be the source of the mercury fir trees in Wenguang Township. The mother fairy planted it!
The Lice Mother Fairy built the village gate. She not only drew the drawings, but also helped with the construction. She became more and more familiar with the owner. The owner asked him what he liked to eat. The fairy came from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Jiang and Zhejiang are used to roasting suckling pigs. Thinking that an acquaintance had something to say, the fairy said bluntly that she wanted to eat roasted pig. And he cooked the suckling pig himself. The master certainly meets the requirements of the Lice Mother Fairy. One day, the housewife accidentally came to the residence of the Lice Mother Fairy and saw him killing the suckling pigs until they screamed. She couldn't bear it and told her husband that this man would not be able to build a good village gate! The reason is that killing suckling pigs is not good luck and is unlucky. The master was shaken after hearing his wife's words, so he gave her a few taels of silver and dismissed the Lice Mother Fairy. Today, only half of the Wenguangzhai Gate is built, but legend has it that it was left over from that time!
Shanmen dismissed the Lice Mother Fairy, and the Lice Mother Fairy was immediately hired by Lice City to build the "city". When the Lice Mother Fairy came here, she gave up her habit of eating roasted suckling pigs and started measuring and drawing carefully. He planned to build a circular city with one hundred square walls. The owner looked at the drawings and was very satisfied. The Lice Mother Immortal personally participated in the gathering of dust and sand and directed the construction of the city.
At first there was nothing new about the nearby countryside. Later, when a square city wall was put up, some people were surprised: It's amazing! If the city is built, let alone geography, from a practical point of view, it will be impregnable and can be defended or attacked, which is not simple.
I don’t know who reported it to the government, saying that the Lice Mother Fairy built the city to plot rebellion, so the government issued a ban on building the city. By this time, 99 square meters of the city wall had been built, so they had no choice but to stop the work. Still haven't made up for it. Because the city was built under the leadership of the Lice Mother Fairy, later generations called this township the Fairy City. After Lice Mother Fairy left the fairy city before it was completed, she wandered to the foot of Hepu Dieshi Mountain. While wandering, she suddenly saw a woman in the forest tying a rope to a tree, preparing to hang herself. When the Lice Mother Fairy saw it, she felt that it was something serious. She hurried to the tree and called out softly:
"Sister-in-law, what are you——"
The woman heard someone calling from behind. She turned around suddenly and saw an old Taoist priest in slovenly clothes. She had to turn around and come back to agree: "Taoist Master, I can't live anymore!"
Lice Mother Fairy After careful questioning, I found out that my sister-in-law was newly widowed, raising a child and cultivating several acres of paddy fields. Due to the long-term drought, the seedlings will wither and the water sources are occupied by strong men. Seeing that there is no hope for harvest, they commit suicide: The mother fairy knows that persuasion is not easy, so she has a plan and says:
"Sister-in-law, I'm thirsty I'm sorry, I'd rather you boil a bowl of water to quench your thirst."
The woman saw this slovenly man nearby and realized that her short-sightedness was out of the question, so she might as well do a good deed and go to the mountain hut to boil water.
When the woman came to the field with boiling water, the field was filled with clean water. Well, the seedlings were saved!
"Taoist! Taoist, the water is ready!"
No matter how much the woman shouted and searched, the slovenly Taoist was nowhere to be seen. He put down the bowl and went to the edge of the field to take a look. Water gurgled out of one of Tian Ching's eyes. The woman suddenly realized that she had just met a god who came to save the seedlings. Save her family!
It turns out that the spring was opened by the mother-in-law fairy with a cane while the sister-in-law was boiling water! Later generations called this spring the fairy spring! It is said that once the Lice Mother Fairy wandered to a Buddhist temple in a deep mountain in Dahao. Seeing that the life of the Buddhist monks living in seclusion in the mountains was very poor, he drew a circle on the cracks in the rocks near the temple. From then on, rice flowed out of the cracks every day, and the lives of the monks were improved. The Lice Mother Fairy also grew up here. Live up. He travels around Chaozhou Prefecture every day, but when the temple has breakfast and lunch, he appears out of thin air in the temple's dining hall to eat. As time went by, the monks in the temple began to hate the Lice Mother Fairy. One day, the monks decided to have meals earlier and at a staggered time. When the Lice Mother Fairy returned to the temple hall to eat, the monks were already full. At this time, the monk snickered secretly. Unexpectedly, the mother fairy actually went to the release pond in front of the main hall, fished for fish, and grilled the fish on the incense burner. Buddhism is a place of strict rules. You can't kill animals here, let alone grill fish on the incense burner dedicated to Buddha. That is a serious sin. The monk immediately ran forward to stop him. Unexpectedly, the louse mother fairy flew away out of thin air at this time. When the monk came to his senses, he saw that what was placed on the incense burner were several sweet potatoes.
After that, rice no longer came out of the stone cracks in Dahao Temple. It is said that the goddess Lice was brought to the Sanfeng Ancient Temple in Shijingyan in front of Shijing Village in Guanbu. However, some monks were greedy and dug up the stone cracks. I wanted to flow more, but the result was just the opposite, and rice was lost. As the saying goes, "Shipwrecks in Shuangxi Zui, rice comes out of Shijingyan" refers to the fact that some people suffered disaster, but some people got rich because of it; some suffered losses, and some benefited from it.
It is said that the Fairy Queen He Yeyunyu was appointed as the water god of the three rivers (Hanjiang, Rongjiang, and Lianjiang) in Chaozhou Prefecture. He was determined to eliminate tyrants and punish the strong, help the poor, and manage the Rongjiang River well. He Yeyun first observed the terrain of the Rongjiang River, settled the aquatic tribes, appointed lions and elephants to guard the mouth of the Rongjiang River, and ordered elephants to guard Shuangxi Zui, and organized the Rongjiang River in an orderly manner.
Soon, people discovered a strange phenomenon. The ships of rich men and gentry often sank in Shuangxizui, but rice flowed out of the cracks in the rocks at the Sanfeng Ancient Temple of Shijingyan in front of Shijing Village in Guanbu every day. . Therefore, there is a saying that "Shuangxizui sunk, Shijingyan produces rice". It turns out that He Yeyun will investigate all passing ships and confiscate any ships carrying ill-gotten wealth. In particular, the rice obtained by plundering and exploiting farmers was carried to Sungei Tsui in a sailboat. He Yeyun ordered the guarding elusive turtle to capsize it and store the rice. It would flow out from the cracks in the rocks every day to provide relief to those who were dying. of poor villagers. Over time, people called the incident where some people suffered and some got rich; some lost and some benefited, as "Shuangxizui sunk, Shijing rock yields rice", and it has been passed down as a proverb.
