According to legend, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a small mountain village called "Yunli" on the hillside of Ailao Mountain in southwest Yunnan. After ten years of seven droughts and three floods, the villagers' lives were miserable.
What is even more frightening is that this village is controlled by a snake spirit who has been practicing for thousands of years.
Every family in the village will give the most valuable thing in the family to the snake essence in the second half of the New Year's Eve every year. If anyone's dedication is not timely, ungodly, making the snake spirit angry, then the whole village will suffer. Light is drought and flood, but heavy is human and animal suffering.
In this way, for thousands of years, although the village is located in a treasure trove of geomantic omen surrounded by beautiful colorful clouds, people there have not lived a happy and prosperous life is sweet.
Someone asked, "Why don't they move out of the magic cave controlled by evil obstacles?"
You don't know, guest, that animal snake essence was cultivated by a thousand-year-old snake. According to legend, it has won the essence of the sun and the moon, and several generations have enshrined it in the treasure land of "cloud", which is quite famous.
Don't say you are moving away, even if you have a little idea in your head, it can be felt quickly and then react violently. Either the children at home are missing, or the old man dies, or the livestock is lost, or the crops are destroyed by wild animals.
It is said that the immortal was changed by a water snake in the pond of the Jade Emperor in the sky. It takes 998 1 cycle to return to heaven because he violated heaven and was banished to the world to atone. It was so angry that it simply broke the jar and fell, hiding in a deep pool in the "cloud" mountain village to do evil. Sleep during the day and haunt rivers and streams surrounded by mountains at night. Once someone collides with it, their lives are hard to protect. Hundreds of people in the village have been hurt by it since it appeared.
Whenever the villagers talk about the "snake god", they dare not call it "snake essence" directly, but they all call it "snake queen" because someone saw her with a charming girl face, just dragging the body of a snake. When it is finished, it will become a beautiful fairy. Now it seems impossible. Since it began to do evil, its magic has been decreasing day by day, and it will eventually become an ordinary water snake on the earth. I'm afraid it will never go back to heaven, but the disaster it brought to Yunli Village will be hard to eliminate for a while.
It's time to confess to snake essence on the 30th of this year. In the middle of the night, it was dark all around, and the cold wind poured straight into people's necks and sleeves. As in the past, the young and old in Yunli Village lined up with their own offerings, and under the leadership of the village leaders, they carried torches and went deep into the valley to offer sacrifices.
There is a 15-year-old child named Long Wa in the team. His parents died and he lived with his grandfather. His family life is not comfortable. He was the only buffalo in the family who cultivated the land that day.
Longwa walked with everyone on the road of sacrifice. The cold moonlight shone in the silent valley and sprinkled on the faces of distressed villagers, presenting a strange picture.
Longwa smiled and walked slowly with the team. When it was his turn to offer an offering, just then, I saw him riding on the snake body, holding a knife, and cutting off the head of the snake essence with lightning speed.
Unexpectedly, the beast has been practicing for many years, and there are some ways. When he sank to the bottom of the water, he also dragged the baby dragon into the bottom of the pool.
Longwa was buried at the bottom of the pool, and the people in Yunli village lived a good life from then on.
The villagers planted a banyan tree by the pool to commemorate the brave boy. Since then, this tree has become the embodiment of the dragon baby, which thrives and protects the people in Yunli village from generation to generation to enjoy happiness and well-being. Later, people also renamed this village "Longshu Village". Since then, there have been many dignitaries.
