2. On the day of the "White Boat Race", even the Jiahe government will issue an order prohibiting navigation in the waterway of the "White Boat Race", which shows that this move is not limited to entertainment.
3. It is said that March 16 this year is the birthday of the silkworm god, and the silkworm people from Sixiang and Bali gathered in Bailongtan section of Jiahe River in the south of the Yangtze River. Because the river here is very wide, the villagers have been holding the annual "white boat" here.
Seen from a distance, Bailongtan is connected with the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, with wide waters and rippling blue waves. At the beginning of the race, I saw those ships chasing each other on the water like arrows. At this time, some people say that running fast is good for the boat, while others say that it is not only good for the boat, but also good for "living". In fact, this boat is also a common agricultural boat in Jiahe Water Town. This kind of boat has a slightly longer hull, a curved bottom and low wading resistance, but its stability is poor when it is violently shaken, so the villagers call it "alive". Therefore, this makes the "white boat" a fast and thrilling scene during the performance.
After a while, I saw a modified ship leading the way. The stern jumped on the board; There are two pipa oars at the stern, and two people shake them. Five or six rows of wooden paddles are placed on both sides of the cabin mouth, one paddle in each hand, and Qi Xin cooperates; There is a village flag on the bow. On the edge, ships with yellow flags will not give way. They will be quick for a while, and this is called "dry stepping"; After a while, it was called "treading water". The two ships have equal strength and fierce competition.
6. Just as these two boats were chasing Zhenghuan, when the boat with the village flag took the lead in entering Bailongtan, I saw a monk on the shore waving and shouting, "Stop rowing and hurry ashore!" !
7. I didn't know that he had just uttered the word "shore", but suddenly he saw a huge wave rising from the bottom of the water, throwing the boat with the village flag into the sky, and suddenly it fell again. In an instant, both people and boats fell into the water. This scene came so suddenly that people on both sides of the strait were shocked. Was the river hit by something or was there a monster in the water? But everything comes and goes quickly. After a while, the river was calm again.
8. At this time, I saw the monk on the shore chanting "Amitabha Buddha" and shouting: "The boat in the river is coming to shore soon! The boat in the river will dock soon!
When all the boats landed, the villagers surrounded the monk and asked what was going on. The monk said, "Amitabha, if I am not mistaken, there is a dragon in the White Dragon Pool."
10, little dragon commits evil? After listening to the monk, the villagers suddenly remembered something. It has been heard that ships often disappear inexplicably when passing through this Bailongtan. Does it have anything to do with this dragon in Bailongtan?
1 1, this statement not only gives the answer, but also adds a little fear to these villagers. Suddenly, the helpless villagers took the monk as a god and kowtowed, "Exorcist, please help us!" " !
12, the monk said, "I'm just passing by, and occasionally I get suspicious when I see this scene."
13, someone asked, "Where did the master come from?" ?
14, "I'm not a master, my name is Xiaoyi, and I'm from Hanshan Temple".
15. When we learned that he came from Hanshan Temple in Gusu, everyone was more in awe of him. The villagers knelt down and begged him to remove this great scourge for Jiahe people.
16, I saw Xiao Yi put his hands together and read "Amitabha" and said, "I think the only way is to build a pagoda beside Bailongtan to stop this dragon".
17, build a pagoda to eliminate evil? Hearing this, the villagers made sense. According to the geomantic theory, they built a tower demon, which has precedents everywhere. So someone immediately reported the matter to the local government. At this time, the government is also worried about the disappearance of the inexplicable ship in Bailongtan. Now I heard that a master of Hanshan Temple said that it was possible to build a tower to ward off evil spirits, and immediately approved the construction.
18. Let's go. A few months later, a seven-story hexagonal pagoda stood by the river of Bailongtan.
