Approaching Beida River, the riverbed of Beida River is no longer wide, and the river surface is1200m. There are lush trees on both sides of the river. Careful observation will give people the feeling of entering the virgin forest.
Climb high and look around, and you will find a strange phenomenon: the mountains on the south bank of the river stretch and are hidden in the forest. The mountain forests along the river constitute a natural dam, and the river obediently snuggles next to the dam and slowly flows eastward. On the north shore, in the distance, you can see endless white sand beaches. There are wide or narrow Woods along the river, including willow, elm and pine and cypress. Approaching the forest, birds and flowers are fragrant, and the heights are too cold to cover the sky.
Between the mountains on the south bank and the Woods on the north bank is the bed of Beida River, which is crystal clear. During the flood season, the waves are rough and have the potential to engulf mountains and rivers. According to 88-year-old Han Wenzhong, there was a flood last year. The river washed away a large area of farmland in Hebei, and many villages were flooded and many houses were washed away. Trees, crops, beams, purlins and cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock are floating on the water. After the flood, the water was calm and the fish and shrimp in the water were obese. This is the land of fish and rice in Jiangnan. It just rained. I really don't know where so many fish and shrimp came from.
Beidahe looks quiet, but he is also very grumpy. On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, it takes more than a month to leave the river in a normal year. As in the past, a cart owner in Inner Mongolia pulled a cart full of New Year's goods on the ice. In the middle of the river, only a few loud noises were heard, and three sets of carts fell into the ice hole. The owner of the cart reacted quickly, turned over and jumped on the ice. People are fine. Trolley and Kyle are not so lucky. When all the ice melted, people found dead cars and horses more than three miles from the intersection.
There are many stories about Beida River, but the most exciting story is about the origin of Beida River.
In the early years, there was no Beida River. The fertile black land around the old temple borders the Horqin Desert and cannot be seen from the north. The desert moves south every year. Wherever the desert goes, there are sand dunes, let alone nothing grows, even long grass has no vitality. At that time, no one studied how the desert was formed, let alone how to eradicate the desert flow. People only know to let nature take its course, and what's more, they think that people in this land have sinned against God and God is punishing people.
The area around the ancient temple connected with the desert is a treasure trove of geomantic omen. The west is the famous Niufeng Geleshan, the south is Jiutou Mountain, and the east is Shifoshan. Three fairy mountains with stories, surrounded by vast plains, have raised countless children. The royal family has long valued this treasure land and sent officials from the royal horse farm to graze here. Now there are traces of ancient horses in Lama desert area.
Horqin desert is not like this, not to mention that nothing grows, but it forms a sharp contrast.
The old people said: one side of the soil and water support one side. A land, a land god. The land god in the old temple area is gentle and elegant, ruling for the people, conscientious, and the territory under management is full of flowers and beautiful scenery.
It turns out that the Horqin Desert was also a fertile land in the early years, but when the Monkey King wiped out cattle in those years, he accidentally let a disciple of the "Horqin Devil" cow escape the net. The demon king of Horqin drove the cloud to Horqin area and made great efforts to turn a large oasis into a desert. It drove away the land god at that time and became the local land god. "Horqin demon" has some connections. He is Niu Wangmo's right-hand man. He learned a lot of magic from Niu Wangmo and came to Horqin. Locals have also burned incense many times to pray for Buddha's blessing. The Buddha knew that the local people were suffering, so he sent troops to encircle them. He bewitched and blew a strong wind. Under the strong wind, he piled up large sand dunes with similar faces and hid them in the sand dunes. Because of the sandstorm, the heavenly soldiers will be unable to open their eyes and subdue them.
The heavenly soldiers will discuss how to draw it out, and there is nothing the gods can do.
Coincidentally, the Queen Mother passed by here, and the yellow sand in Horqin blocked the Queen Mother's way. The queen was very angry. Who dares to stand in my way? Some men went out to find out and came back soon. They learned that they were disciples of the cow, and the queen pinched her finger. I know this guy still has some longevity, and the locals don't respect Buddha enough. There should be such difficulties. The empress figured that the people around the old temple at her feet were good men and women and should not be destroyed by this magic. Empress was merciful, took out a few leaves from her bag and spread them out. Suddenly, dozens of hills, large and small, rose at the junction of the old temple and Inner Mongolia, blocking the pace of the desert moving south. This is why the old temple and Inner Mongolia are bordered by mountains, such as Shantou Mountain, Lala Mountain, Laomu Mountain and Hadatu Mountain.
Extremes must be reversed. There are dozens of hills and shallow mountains on the border between Liaoning and Inner Mongolia. The desert is blocked, but the water in that area has no road. People in that area are most afraid of rain. In the event of a flood, water will overflow Jinshan.
Legend has it that an immortal from Xia Zi often came down to earth to help mankind exorcise evil spirits and benefit mankind. Although there is a row of hills in the border area between the old temple and Inner Mongolia, the desert can't move forward, but the flood is widespread and the people are miserable. It happened that the immortals in Xia Zi passed by here, and the sufferings of the people in the old temple area and the spirit of brave struggle in the face of difficulties touched the immortals in Xia Zi. The fairy said to his camel, "People in the old temple area are suffering. We must help them!" " "Xia Zixian's mount is a god camel, so the camel lowered its cloud head and came to the junction of the old temple and Inner Mongolia. Many hills blocked the passage of the flood. As the saying goes, the enemy will block, and the water has means to cover it. But there is no way out of the mountain in this area. There is no other way but to follow the example of Dayu and open up a road for water. After careful measurement, the god camel rode to the sky, starting from the eastern foot of Qinglong Mountain in Naiman Banner in the west and going to Liaohe River in the east, and digging a river for thousands of miles. This is a huge project. Shen Tuo gave his design report to the immortal in Xia Zi, and the immortal also thought it was a big project that wasted people's money. But for the sake of the long-term stability of a common people, the immortal had to travel with the camel as a Taoist priest and persuade people through the villages along the route designed by the camel. In fact, floods have hurt people in recent years. It is said that someone is planning to dig a new river. If the local people have money to pay, things will come out and people will.
This is an unprecedented river, and it is also a life-saving river. People call it "Xinkai River", and this river has its own name.
It is not easy to open a river thousands of miles away. In that era when there was no advanced means of transportation, people were all in last stand, but in order to have a quiet living environment, the local people recognized it and worked so hard.
People along the Xinkai River touched God with their selfless actions to develop the river. The Buddha sent troops to support, and everyone knew the coming God. Today's tennis messenger is not the lazy, selfish and greedy lazy man, but the immortal true god. When he arrived at the scene, he was also moved by the actions of the local people. He showed his true colors and took out the power of Pig Bajie's memorial archway to let people on both sides of Xinkai River live a happy life as soon as possible. At that time, it was faster than any excavator now, and the river was the same every day, and it could dig dozens of miles every day.
After more than half a year's efforts, people finally dug a new river. It was foggy that day, and I felt like I couldn't see my fingers. The river diggers helped each other and left. At this time, people heard the sweet music in the clouds, which was the voice of nature. Many people rolled their eyes. More people put down their work, burn incense, bow and kowtow. Experienced people said: this must be the Buddha who came to see us, otherwise it would be so foggy!
Cloud is really Guanyin Bodhisattva. Bodhisattva came to inspect the progress of the people on both sides of the strait and observe it closely. When he saw that the people on both sides of the strait really did their best, he was merciful, pulled off the hair clasp on his head and waved his hand, and a river with a width of 200 meters was formed. The mountain spring at the foot of Qinglong Mountain runs down, wave after wave, which is very spectacular.
Later, when the clouds cleared, people saw the waves of the Xinkai River and knew that there were gods to help them. People bowed, kowtowed and burned incense, and the Bodhisattva in the cloud was very satisfied.
In order to thank the Bodhisattva for paying attention to the people on both sides of the strait, the people on both sides of the strait built a big temple on the bank of Hebei, where Sakyamuni, Guanyin Bodhisattva and kind Xia Zi immortals were enshrined one by one. On the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will put incense tables to thank Buddha Hong En.
There is water in the Xinkai River, and there is still room for flood discharge on both sides of the river. People on both sides of the river have lived quietly for some time.
It happened that there was water in the newly opened river, and the "Horqin Devil" had a coke. In fact, it is a monster in the water and comes to the beach to hide. The queen gave this guy a hand with a wave of her hand. With water, we will be very happy. It often introduces river water into the desert along the river bank. It stands to reason that the arid desert introduces water and everything is nourished. Originally a good thing, but because of the greedy "Horqin demon", good things often turn into bad things.
The river flows into the desert, nourishing everything and making people suffer.
Horqin demon has been imprisoned at the bottom of the river for thousands of years and is full of hatred and hostility to anything beautiful in the world. Since we can get away, we are determined to be the first to give the people on both sides of the strait a scare. It jumped into the air and turned the newly restored desert around it into a desert by magic. That desert is different, other deserts are golden yellow; The desert here is a small white stone, the earth is extremely hot, and the north bank of Xinkai River is plunged into a "white terror". People are crying and complaining everywhere. The feud between human beings soared into the sky, shocking the jade emperor.
The Jade Emperor sent clairvoyance and ears to find out why. With the river, the devil is more fierce. Harnessing Xinkai River was the idea of Xia Zi immortals. Now, a lot of manpower and material resources have been spent, and the people have not been at peace. The Jade Emperor was furious and wanted to cut off Xia Zixian's immortal books and demote them to the mortal world. The gods and immortals came to express their feelings, saying that the immortals in Xia Zi had made a mistake and told him to clean up the mess. On the one hand, he was asked to rescue the people around Xinkaihe from the "white terror", on the other hand, he was asked to capture the Horqin Lord alive and make amends. The Jade Emperor ordered Xia Zixian to set out immediately, and must solve the plight of the people around Xinkaihe and capture the Horqin demon.
Xia Zixian said to his camel, "To save the people of Xinkaihe, only by moistening the white sand with your blood can you break the magic of Horqin, because you are a" boat in the desert "and your life will be in danger. When you moisten the white sand with blood, the Horqin demon will inevitably come out and destroy it. I will try my best to deal with it, catch the Horqin demon as soon as possible, and then save you. Would you like to? "
The camel knelt on its front leg and said with tears, "It's my fault for making my master suffer and take risks. If killing me can save everything, I am willing. " It is not surprising that the "camel fairy" in the sky can talk.
Xia Zi immortals and camels came over the Xinkai River to prepare for a fierce battle. Camels use magic to enlarge their bodies, bite their tongues, spray blood on boundless white sand, and red Mao Mao rain falls in the sky. I saw that the white sand covered with blood turned red instantly, and the wet land magically grew flowers and trees and returned to its original appearance.
But soon, the Horqin lich king emerged from the sand, jumped into the air, raised his sword and cut at the camel. Li Xiannian of Xia Zi rushed to meet them, specializing in the key of Horqin Lord. The immortals in Xia Zi want to make a quick decision, because they have to use magic to save the camel. In order not to disturb the camel by the Horqin Lich King, Xia Zixian turned and ran across the Xinkai River. The demon king of Horqin killed his red eye and pursued him with his sword. The two of them circled over the Xinkai River in tandem. Xia Zi, a fairy, jumped into the clouds, took off two shoes and threw them at the demon king, only to see those two shoelaces flying down in the chilly wind and getting bigger and bigger. Two shoes, like two huge king kong covers, were buckled on the demon king in tandem. The lich king has a winning mentality. Who would have thought that the immortals in Xia Zi still have such a powerful trick? Before I knew it, I was covered by the diamond cover that flew down first, and then the diamond cover that flew down covered the diamond cover in front. Two king kong covers covered the demon king, and they soon fell down, right in the middle of the Xinkai River, and were heavily buckled at the bottom of the river, causing huge waves. It turns out that the shoes of Xia Zi immortals were replaced by two king kong sets. Horqin Lich King was held hostage by King Kong mask at the bottom of Xinkai River, doomed to never turn over.
Xia Zixian ran to save the camel. When he got there, it was too late. At present, there are mountains and green waters, and the camels on the clouds are gone.
It turned out that when Xia Zixian lured the devil away, the camel had already wetted the white sand. Due to excessive blood loss, the camel has no strength and can't stand it any longer. It spurted blood and finally fainted. It fell from mid-air and fell to the ground, with its four legs stuck in the sand. As soon as the camel's aura is released, it becomes a rocky mountain, which looks like a huge camel. This is the camel mountain we see now.
After this robbery, the desert on the north bank of Xinkai River has been controlled, and the trees along the river have grown more luxuriantly, so that future generations will always remember this disaster and remember the camel that helped the poor. Because the camel moistened the white sand with blood, broke the main demon of Horqin and transformed the desert. Therefore, the land on the north bank of the newly opened river is mostly red. With the progress of science and technology, people know that Xinkaihe area is rich in iron ore, and the soil is red wherever there is iron ore. Today's iron ore has contributed to the local people. Many iron concentrator have been built in many towns and villages along the river. Digging out local stones can make money, so that several towns along the river are rich in oil, and the fiscal revenue in normal years can reach tens of millions. The construction of several towns and villages is similar to that of county towns.
In addition, the immortals in Xia Zi lost a camel, although they completed the sacred life of the Jade Emperor. It is said that the immortal goes down to Xinkaihe once a year to visit his old buddy Camel (Mountain), and he has to take care of any grievances!
Although Horqin demon was concealed by Xia Zixian's boots, it threatened several times every year, which led to the flood of Beida River in summer. According to the local people, when there is a flood, a big whirlpool often appears on the water. Wherever the whirlpool goes, trees will be uprooted. No one has measured how powerful it is.
The story is online, and Stone Mountain is true. Camel Mountain has stood on that magical land for thousands of years, which is a miracle created by nature.
What is even more touching is the old temple people in Liangbei, Hongtu and other villages near the Peking University. Everyone is a master at digging rivers and managing mountains. In their hands, all the barren hills around them have been covered with pine and cypress, and the terraces in the mountains are layered, with sorghum red and millet yellow at their feet; Apples in the orchard are like a jade plate, willows line the river, ducks and geese flock on the water, and there are harmonious and happy scenery everywhere. In the local words, we are the place taken care of by the Empress Dowager, and our life has been happy for thousands of years.
Horqin desert will no longer move south, people on both sides of the strait will live in peace, the history of national unity will be written together, and beautiful legends will remain in people's hearts forever.
