The Shocking and Extraordinary Romance of the Great Sage

Hong'er rushed home eagerly, looked around and saw that everything was still the same, so she made a promise to her mother and said hello. Hong'er saw that there were a few handfuls of rice left in the jar. When eating, she would rather eat thin soup or wild vegetable porridge herself, and make dry steamed rice for her mother. Hong's mother couldn't afford it, so she gave Hong'er half of the rice.

Hong'er dug yams to replenish her mother's deficiency. She thought to herself on the hillside:"In this mountainous area, there are yam seeds I have planted everywhere... I have to use my martial arts power to throw out more yams." She turned around and used her moves. Sure enough, with enough strength and work, he dug the soil like a plow and harvested a lot of yams. Hong'er put the yams into a basket on her back, carried them home, removed the soil, washed them, cut them into slices, and dried them in the sun. She fed her mother for many years, and Hong's mother's body and bones gradually improved.

Hong's mother caught wind and cold and her cough worsened. Hong'er had already collected seven herbs including wild clover, winter mulberry leaves, perilla leaves, loquat leaves, and Bupleurum, plus green onion roots and ginger to make a treat for her mother. , effective immediately. Hong Niang's mouth and tongue were blistered and she had a toothache. Hong'er dug plantains and Houttuynia cordata, washed them, dried them, and boiled water for her mother to drink every day. Soon Hong Niang's fire poison disappeared and her mouth recovered. In winter, Hong's mother was weak and had night sweats. Hong'er went to the cliff to dig chervil, yam, astragalus, and more empty shell wheat grains, and cooked them together, which cured her mother's night sweats.

Legend has it that some strange things happened this year. Hong Niang's rheumatism worsened and she was in so much pain that she could not walk. Hong'er was feeling worried on the ground when she suddenly heard a rustling sound. She looked down in a daze and said in surprise:"Hey, it's little friend Ki Snake... Do you want to see me if you have anything to do?" The black and gray Ki snake raised its head and spat out snake letters, as if it was crying:"My little one." Life is given by you... If you hadn't saved me from the claws of the Eagle King, the little snake wouldn't have been able to survive these four years. That's enough! In order to repay my kindness, I sacrificed myself and died a worthy death. It's my duty to repay my kindness. My wish." Watching it flash, the two-foot-long snake suddenly hit its head on a thin stone like a blade, and immediately shed blood and died.

Hong'er picked up Qishen, kissed it, and said with tears:"Qisheng, it's rare for you to fulfill my filial piety for Hong'er. You sacrificed your life for my mother, so I can only kowtow to you many times to express my gratitude." Hong'er puffed. Kneel down and bow your head six times before taking the snake home.

Hong'er was afraid that her mother would go behind her mother's back when she heard about the use of agaric snakes to treat joint diseases but refused to use medicinal wine. A few more Chinese medicines were added, and a month later, the agaric snake wine was brewed. She coaxed her mother to use"ginseng tonic wine", but Hong Niang didn't know that it was a medicine made by killing a snake to cure her rheumatism. After drinking it for several months, Hong's mother's joints became more flexible and no longer hurt.

There is a folk legend... This summer, the sun was scorching like fire. Hong'er was hoeing the rice field, so tired that she was covered in sweat, hungry and drunk. She put down her hoe and drank some water from the stream, but her stomach growled with hunger. She looked at a rock six-tenths the size of the land standing in the middle of less than a quarter of the land, and murmured:"Oh! If only that large rock could be moved away. It is bigger than the field, and it occupies the same area as the rice field." middle……"While he was chatting, there was a sudden noise, a strange sound, which grew from small to loud... There was a loud"bang" sound, the rock crack exploded, and stone flakes flew around. Hong'er was knocked unconscious by the bang.. When I woke up, it was like having a dream. When I got up and took a look, the six-cent-sized rock disappeared and turned into a lawn, with a strange light emitting from the grass. Hong'er was startled, crossed the field, groped in the grass, pushed aside the grass, and was shocked:"Ah - it's a round bead... orb... a big shining bead... it's a cyan shining magical thing... orb - - It's a pearl."

She held it with both hands and said to herself:"Is this a dream? Pearl, pearl, are you real or fake? Is what is happening in front of you real or fake? Can you respond?" Suddenly, there was another detailed question. A trembling sound came out. Hong'er looked down and saw that the stony lawn had turned into a field. There was a vague secret message:"I am a green snake that became a spirit. In order to save my sister, I was killed behind the Leifeng Pagoda and turned into a green light orb... Your sweat will not be in vain. This field is the crystallization of your sweat."."

There are poems as evidence:

The bright pearl has its origin, and the righteous blood is spilled in China.
