The origin of Jiulong Mountain It is said that the coast of Zhapu was originally a flat plain with no peaks. There lived a family near the seaside who made a living by fishing. The fisherman and his wife had a daughter named Huang Gu.
One day, the fisherman went out to sea to catch fish and saw a big roc pounce on a white snake basking in the sun on the beach. The white snake was covered in bruises and was dying. The fisherman picked up his fishing gear and swung it hard at Dapeng, who fled in a hurry. The fisherman rescued the white snake and took it home, where he applied medicine to heal its wounds. In less than half a month, the white snake recovered from its injuries. The fisherman released the white snake back into the sea. The white snake looked back while swimming, as if reluctant to part with it. From then on, when the fisherman went to the sea to catch fish, he would always catch fish and never return empty-handed.
A few years later, the old fisherman died, and the burden of fishing to support the family fell on Gu Huang. Huang Gu is already over 10 years old, and she is as beautiful as a fairy. She is a filial daughter, but it was difficult to get married for a while because she wanted to take care of her old mother. The old fisherman was worried that her daughter would be ruined for the rest of her life if she did not get married, so she made a promise to recruit a son-in-law to marry her. A few days later, Huang Gu returned from fishing and saw a handsome young man serving his mother at home. After Huang Gu asked her mother, she learned that the young man had been here for a long time and claimed that he was a dragon and his name was Bailong. He also said that as long as Huang Gu was willing, he would agree to come and marry her. Not many days later, Bai Long and Huang Gu got married in the Qin and Jin Dynasties. From then on, the male dominated the outside world and the female dominated the internal affairs. The male fished and the female weaved, and the family was prosperous.
Time flies, and the couple unknowingly gave birth to nine sons, all of whom have grown up. All of them are handsome and smart, and have learned good skills. One day, Bailong took his nine sons out to sea to fish together. When they came back, they were all injured. Huang Gu asked why, but her husband had no choice but to tell the truth. It turns out that Bailong is the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. When he went out to play, he was bullied by Dapeng and almost died. Thanks to the fisherman, he saved him. In order to repay the kindness of saving his life, the third prince turned into a young man and married into Aunt Huang's house. But because he had been away from home for a long time, it had been nearly a month, so the Dragon King sent Prime Minister Turtle and his son to search everywhere. When we meet in the sea today, we must call the third prince back to the palace. Because the third prince refuses to go back to the palace, Prime Minister Gu and his soldiers must capture the third prince and bring him back to the palace. There was a fight between the two sides, and Bailong and nine dragons were all injured and captured into the Dragon Palace. The Dragon King asked for the truth. The third prince had not returned for a long time and was in love with him. Prime Minister Gu was indiscriminate and abominable, so he was furious and wanted to kill Prime Minister Gu and his son immediately. After the third prince repeatedly begged for mercy, the Dragon King of the East China Sea agreed to spare Prime Minister Turtle and his son, and came to the seaside to guard and protect them. After the third prince Bailong explained the whole story, he went back to the East China Sea Dragon Palace to get the medicine.
The old fisherman and Huang Gu were doubtful. It had been more than 20 years since Bailong arrived home, so why did he say that it had been nearly a month since he left the Dragon Palace? The mother and daughter didn't know that one day in the fairy world was equal to one year in the human world, so they felt uneasy. They suspected that this was the old Dragon King's plan and wanted to catch the whole family unawares. As soon as the mother and daughter thought bad, they immediately chased to the seaside and guarded Prime Minister Turtle and his son from a mile away. The mother held a big stone and the daughter held a big stick. They did not return home until midnight. The nine dragon sons waited at home for a long time, but when their grandmother and mother didn't come back, they rushed to the beach together. When they arrived, they saw that both sides seemed to be ready to use force, so they stood in a row to support them. Because all of them were seriously injured, they were all sitting on the ground for a while.
The third prince Bailong went to the Dragon Palace to get medicine and returned home the next morning. When I entered the house, I saw that no one in the family was rushing to the beach. This was an extraordinary sight. The nine dragon sons and their mother and grandmother all turned into stones and turned into mountains. The third prince was filled with grief and anger, and he asked Prime Minister Gui and his son what the reason was. As soon as the two turtles saw this situation, they were worried about the situation. They were afraid of misfortune, so they hurriedly stretched their paws and stretched their necks to escape to the Dragon Palace. The third prince was in a hurry and didn't want to escape. He used a technique to fix his body and change his voice, turning Prime Minister Gui and his son into big and small turtle mountains. Besides, the mountain that grandma turned into is called Grandma Mountain by the descendants, and the mountain that mother Huang Gu turned into is called Lipo Mountain. From then on, the peak formed by the nine dragons was called Jiulong Mountain. The third prince, White Dragon, was originally the successor of the Dragon King of the East China Sea appointed by the Jade Emperor. Seeing such a shocking change in his happy family, he lost all hope and decided not to become the Dragon King, but became a monk.
Since the fossil of Kowloon Napping is a mountain, the mountains here are not high. Nine out of ten mountains have no head. The north slope is steep and the south slope is steep. It receives worship from Poseidon twice a day. The monks saw the good feng shui here and built many temples, enjoying the incense in the world.
