South China Sea Myth

While thinking about it, he walked to the village carrying water, and saw his wife standing in the village stupidly waiting for him with a firewood knife in one hand and a hoe in the other. He asked his wife strangely, "Who gave you the knife and hoe, what are you doing standing here?" Just now, an old man came and said that he had drunk your water, and in order to express his gratitude, he brought a firewood knife and a hoe, but I refused to accept it, so he turned around and left. I chased it out and found that the blink man was gone. "

The husband and wife glared at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, and their expressions were very surprised. The wife said, "Did we meet the Dragon King?" Definitely, otherwise we wouldn't have drunk so much water. Otherwise, it won't blink and disappear. The husband asked, "What shall we do?"

The wife said diligently, "Our husband and wife hurry up and worship." "Who are you worshipping?" Worship Guanyin Bodhisattva first, and then worship the Dragon King. After speaking, the diligence immediately knelt down, and the hardship also knelt down. They both knelt there, bowed three times in the direction of the sea, and chanted the words: "Thank you, Avalokiteshvara." Then, he bowed three more times: "Thank you, Lord Dragon." "

A thunderous voice came from the air: "Your hard work, kindness and courage have touched Guanyin Bodhisattva, let me send you a treasure hoe and a treasure knife, I hope you will maintain the quality of diligence and kindness, bid farewell to poverty, and feel the happiness of abundant grains." "

They raised their heads, and an auspicious dragon appeared in the clouds, and they kowtowed three more times, and when they raised their heads again, the dragon lord was gone.

I thought hard that with a treasure knife and a treasure hoe, it would be convenient to dig ditches in the future. Thinking about it, he grabbed the hoe in both hands and drew it to the ground. He couldn't believe his eyes, it was clearly an open canal, and suddenly appeared in front of him, and the clear water was flowing happily and emitting

Wonderful sound. When he came to the field, hoping to turn over the whole field, he held a hoe and scratched the ground, and the soil of the field rolled like a wave. Since the Dragon King gave them hoes and firewood knives, their family's work has undergone earth-shaking changes. The treasure hoe hoes the ground, and it is a piece of drag, which is very fast. Wherever the treasure hoe has been hoeed, the grain grows gratifyingly.

With that sword, he cut down trees, cut weeds, and cut wood, and it was extremely sharp. Since they had this treasure hoe and treasure knife, they were able to make way for the barren mountains and bow their heads to the rivers, and of course, they lived a good life of abundant grain and prosperous animals. Although the hard-working couple and their family have become rich, they have not forgotten the poor villagers, who are short of manpower, they take the treasure hoe and the treasure knife to help. When the neighbors were short of food, they came to their homes and gave them generously. As a result, the news that the hard-working couple was poor and well-off spread farther and farther, their reputation for generosity spread farther and farther, and the news that they obtained the treasure knife and hoe of the dragon king spread farther and farther.

Hard work and hard work gave birth to five sons, the eldest son Dafeng, 24 years old, very capable, farm work, can afford to put down. The second son, Yafeng, 22 years old, is very clever, and Yafeng is responsible for the entertainment inside and outside the family. The third son, Bingfeng, 20 years old, is honest and willing to work, in addition to farm work, he is responsible for carrying water and cleaning the house. The fourth son, Ding Feng, 18 years old, likes flowers and plants, and runs in the mountains all day long. The fifth son, Yifeng, is 16 years old and loves animals. The fairy gave him a whistle. He whistles, and the bears, wolves, deer, and sheep of the mountains will come to him on their own initiative.

Since the hard-working family has made a fortune, their five sons have also become the target of matchmakers, and the threshold of the newly built tiled house has been broken. Men should get married, and women should get married. Dafeng is the eldest son in the family, and naturally, his parents began to warmly receive the matchmaker, hoping that Dafeng would marry a daughter-in-law and reproduce grandchildren for them as soon as possible. Besides, if the eldest son does not get married, it will be like a traffic jam on the road, which will block the marriage of the second son and the third son. However, no matter who introduced Dafeng to the object, Dafeng was reluctant to meet, and his parents were so anxious that they were like ants in a hot pot.

After hard work, he gradually aged, and was bedridden. One day, he told the five brothers that on the coast of the South China Sea, there is a grass called "Zen flavor", which can bring the dead back to life. Seeing their father moaning, the five brothers decided to take a taste of grass for the antidote that their father had come to the coast of the South China Sea.

I walked and walked, walked for five days and five nights, and arrived at the coast of the South China Sea, looking for five days and five nights, but I did not find the antidote. Just when the five brothers were worried, they suddenly found a group of golden cicadas floating on the surface of the sea, dying. The five brothers fished the cicadas and covered them with grass on the side of the road and placed them in a cool place.

As it gets darker, the five brothers are tired and drowsy, and they are even more anxious about their old father's illness. Suddenly, in the distant woods by the sea, a group of girls in golden robes were meditating with their eyes closed, silent. The five brothers became more and more anxious, if they couldn't get the Zen grass again, their father would soon leave them forever. At this time, a woman's voice came from a distance and said: We are the cicadas you just started, originally the jade girl of the Heavenly Palace, and when Guanyin was away, she became a cicada to play in the world.

Who knew that it was blown into the sea by a strong wind, soaked in the clothes, and could no longer fly. Thank you for saving your life. If you have any difficulties or wishes, we can help you. The five brothers were amazed and told the girl what was going on. The girls said that in fact, Zen grass is only found in Guanyin's jade bottle, which is the nectar water of the jade bottle, and all things are impregnated by the water in the jade bottle, so it has a Zen flavor. The five brothers finally understood that they would never find Zen grass. The five brothers had to say goodbye to the girl in order to take a closer look at their elderly father.

The girls finally said that birth, old age, sickness and life are common things in the world, and the safety and health of children and grandchildren is the true meaning. Today you saved our lives, the only reward is to hand over our clothes to you, because the clothes have been stained by the water in the jade bottle, give it to your old father, although it can not be like Zen grass ~ has the effect of resurrecting the dead, but can prolong life and enjoy old age. In addition to the old father, we are also willing to give clothes to you five brothers, without your rescue, it will be difficult for us to return to the bodhisattva in time.

Before dawn, we had to rush to the Heavenly Palace and had to leave the world early in the morning. However, we can only take off our clothes when we meet the morning dew, and you can only take it away until dawn, and then give it to your old father. When the five brothers heard the girls' words, their hearts became steady, and they fell asleep soundly. Early in the morning, the five brothers opened their eyes and found that the girls had left, and they hurriedly searched for the place where the girls were meditating and found six complete cicada clothes. The five brothers took their cicada clothes and hurried home. After five days and five nights, they returned home and worked hard to survive.
