South China Sea Myth

Peaches rise and fall with the waves of the sea. This is the fairy peach that the birthday father-in-law accidentally got from the heavenly court. Eating this peach can prolong life and live forever. The creatures in the sea knew about it and swarmed up to compete for the peach. The fish and the fish were bruised all over the body, the shrimp were bruised and swollen, and the crabs and crabs were bruised and bleeding...... In the entire South China Sea, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Each of them hopes to win the peach, and everyone wants to prolong their life. Ah Hai and Ah Hua watched the fish jump out of the sea and sink to the bottom of the sea; Biting and fighting at once, pulling the head and tail at once. When I saw these creatures in the sea, I couldn't help but feel sad from my heart. They said, "Why should you kill each other when you live in the same sea?"

The fish said: "The reason why we are so close is that we want to grab the fairy peach." The shrimp said, "The fairy peach is ours, and no one wants to compete with us." The crab said: "The fairy peach is ours, we must grab the fairy peach." "The creatures of the sea say they must get the peach, and they show their teeth and clips with weapons. Ah Hai was at a loss. He asked, "Why do you have to get the peach?"

A sea turtle stuck its head out of the water and said, "You are stupid, you don't know that you can live a long life by eating a longevity peach." "I heard that eating longevity peaches can lead to a long life, and Ah Hua is excited. She said to her husband, Ah Hai, "What I said in my dream of the immortals is all true. We cast a net to catch longevity peaches, and if we can catch them, we will give them to my mother-in-law to eat, so that her illness will be cured and she can live a long life. "

Ah Hai said: "Okay, you are really a good daughter-in-law who is filial. They cast a wide net into the sea. When Ah Hai and Ah Hua were salvage, the fish, shrimp, crabs, etc. in the sea were also desperately fishing, but in the end they were empty-handed. Therefore, these creatures of the sea were very jealous, and took despicable actions to see Ah Hai and Ah Hua cast a net to catch the peaches, and bit their nets through; When the crab saw Ahai and Ah Hua, he cast a net to catch the peaches and scratch their nets; The shrimp saw Ahai and Ah Hua cast a net to catch the peaches and tear their nets.

No matter how the creatures in the sea broke their nets, Ah Hai and Ah Hua were never discouraged, and when the nets were broken, they repaired them, and after they repaired them, they started fishing again. A day passed, and they did not catch the peaches; Two days have passed, and they still haven't caught the peaches; Three days have passed, and they still haven't caught the peaches; Ah Hua asked Ah Hai: "Did this fairy peach let the sea eat it raw?" Ah Hai said: "Ah Hua, you see, the creatures in the sea are still fighting, which means that they are still fighting for each other, and no one has grabbed the peach, and the peach is still in the sea." Let's not be discouraged and fish again. "

Ah Hai Ah Hua and his wife worked hard, nibbled on two mouthfuls of dried sweet potatoes when they were hungry, and moistened their throats with a little fresh water brought on board when they were thirsty. After holding on for nine days and nine nights, they finally salvaged Xiantao. By this time, they were exhausted and their backs and legs ached. When the mother can eat the peach, the disease can not only be cured, but also live a long life. They wanted to laugh, but they had the strength to laugh. Ah Hai and Ah Hua tried their best to brace their spirits and rowed the boat to the shore, but when the boat approached the shore, they were too tired and excited because they had not rested for nine days and nine nights, and they both fainted. Those who didn't grab the fairy peach and hated Ah Hai and Ah Hua in the sea

Spirit, push their ship into the depths of the sea, overturn it, and let it drift away; Then, they grabbed the fairy peaches, who knew that the fairy peaches had become stone peaches, and they couldn't move them away.

Suddenly, an auspicious cloud floated on the sea, and Guanyin Niangniang stood in the cloud. She criticized the creatures in the sea who wanted to kill Ah Hai and Ah Hua, and said angrily: "You sea creatures snatch the fairy peach for yourself, and Ah Hai and Ah Hua are for saving their sick mother." In order to always remember their filial piety, I turned this fairy peach into a stone peach, and you don't have to fight for it anymore. "

After Guanyin Bodhisattva finished speaking, he drifted away. Guanyin Bodhisattva rescued Ah Hai and his wife, sent them to the Heavenly Palace, and arranged for them to be immortals in the longevity peach garden. Besides, Ah Hai's mother was lying on the hospital bed, and she was very anxious when she saw that her son and daughter-in-law had not come back for a few days. Suddenly, I heard an old man calling her name, and when I looked up, I saw that it was the father-in-law of the birthday star, and he knelt down in a hurry.

The father-in-law of the birthday star said: "You raised a son who preached filial piety and taught a daughter-in-law with filial piety. Now, I'm here to take you to the Birthday Garden in Heaven to spend your old age in peace. Ahai's mother didn't want to answer, but the birthday father-in-law had already pulled her sleeve and took her to fly into the birthday garden of the Heavenly Palace. As soon as she entered the Shouxing Garden, her mother saw her son Ah Hai and her daughter-in-law Ah Hua, and they had all become the peach fairies of the Shouxing Garden. They told her that it was Guanyin Niangniang who rescued them from the sea and sent them here.

To this day, Shixian Tao is still on the seaside east of "Xiaodongtian". It is said that people who have touched this peach will be able to prolong their life, so there is an endless stream of people who come here to touch the stone peach, and the river is endless. The creatures of the sea respected Avalokiteshvara very much and were ashamed, and they wanted to make amends for their sins. Ah Hai and his wife Ah Hua have become immortals, and they can't apologize to them.

So, the creatures decided to look for the ship that had been pushed into the deep sea without a trace. After nine months and nine days of searching, they finally found Ah Hai's ship at the exit of the South China Sea. They worked together to push Ah Hai's boat to the seashore at the foot of Ao Mountain. Looking at the boats moored on the shore, they said in unison: "Boat, boat, don't rot, you just stay at the foot of this Ao Mountain, so that the world can see our ugliness and see the bare courage of Ahai's filial son." "

When Guanyin saw this, he pointed his finger, and the wooden boat became a stone boat, and of course it would not rot. Since then, the creatures in the sea have said that this is a filial piety boat, and it is the boat used by the peach fairy Ah Hai before he became an immortal. For this reason, more and more people are coming to visit here. One day, a rebel named Liu Zhuhua stole a lot of money from his parents and traveled around. I heard that the seaside scenery at the foot of Ao Mountain is infinitely good, so I came here with great interest.

Hearing that this was a filial piety ship, he stepped on it with a sneer. Who knows, as soon as he boarded the stone boat, he immediately felt the blood burning all over his body, making him sweat all over, a cold gas was discharged from the soles of his feet, and a deep guilt rose from the bottom of his heart. He had an epiphany, and felt that he was simply not human, completely dressed as a beast, and ashamed of his parents who gave birth to him. He was no longer in the mood to play outside and decided to go home immediately.

Liu Zhuhua returned home, changed his past, as if he was a different person, he was extremely filial to his parents, and his parents were so happy that they were radiant. Relatives, friends, and neighbors all wondered: How could Liu Zhuhua go to the South China Sea for a trip and change to another person when he came back? Liu Zhuhua smiled but did not answer. That winter, the weather was extremely cold, and Liu Zhuhua's mother couldn't afford to get sick.

When she was seriously ill, she wanted to eat bamboo shoots very much, but in this snowy winter, where to get bamboo shoots to eat? Everything only sprouts in spring. Looking at his mother, who was seriously ill, Liu Zhuhua was very anxious, and he ran through all the bamboo forests near his house to find the bamboo shoots that his mother wanted to eat, but found nothing. He was so disappointed that he hugged a big bamboo and wept bitterly. He said;" Bamboo, bamboo, be merciful, sprout quickly, my mother is very sick and wants to eat your sprouts. "
