The old man was taken aback and listened carefully again. Sounds like Spanish mackerel baby. Look at the little Spanish mackerel again, with sad eyes, twitching cheeks and difficulty breathing. Poor thing. The old man picked up the little Spanish mackerel and gently put it into the sea. When the little Spanish mackerel saw the water, it became active, splashed, looked back at the old man and disappeared at once.
That night, the old man was unhappy because he didn't catch any fish. He scalded a pot of wine, ordered some vegetables and drank the wine. Gradually, the old man heard the sound of the waves outside the house getting louder and louder, and he knew it was the high tide. The island where he lives is connected with land at low tide and becomes an island at high tide.
It's late at night, the lamp oil is running out, and the old man is still drinking. Suddenly, he seemed to see someone in the room and walked slowly towards him. The old man thinks his eyes are blurred. He looked carefully and found a middle-aged man and a slim girl. They looked at him kindly. I heard the middle-aged man say, "Don't be afraid, old man. I live nearby. This is my daughter. " The old man thought, I have lived here for so long, and I have never seen anyone living here. But the old man is not afraid. He invited middle-aged people to drink together, and the girl poured the wine beside him. Middle-aged people talk with old people very speculatively.
After drinking, the middle-aged man and girl bid farewell to the old man and disappeared in a blink of an eye. The old man was surprised: the tide is rising outside, and the island is not connected with the land. How did these two people get up and walk?
After that, middle-aged people often come to the old man for a drink. After a long time, they became good friends. The old man doesn't think about who this person really is, how he came and how he left. Anyway, he has become a very close drinking friend and bosom friend.
The days passed day by day. For a time, the old man didn't catch a fish for several days, and he was very worried. That night, the middle-aged man came again. The old man told him that he couldn't catch fish. Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and told the old man where to play tomorrow. There must be fish. The next day, the old man did as he said. Sure enough, he caught a lot of fish. The old man is very happy.
That night, the middle-aged man happily came to ask the old man how many fish he had caught. The old man thanked him and asked him, "How do you know where there are many fish?" The middle-aged man said, "Grandpa, to tell the truth, I am the king of Spanish mackerel in the sea, and I am in charge of all the waters in this area. I appreciate you letting my daughter go. It's very kind of you. I want to make friends with you. Let me know if you have any difficulties in the future and I will help you. " The old man was surprised. Since then, the relationship between the Spanish king and the old man has become closer. From then on, the old man caught Spanish mackerel and put it into the sea, so he stopped eating Spanish mackerel. After a while, the old man felt puzzled that the Spanish king had not come for many days. He also found that the sea was rough these days, and sometimes there was blood floating on the sea, as if there was a battle going on in the sea.
One night, the old man was sitting under the lamp, and the king of Spain came again. I saw that his look was not as calm as before, and there were scars on his face. The old man asked him, "What happened?"
King Bayu said solemnly, "Old man, I want to ask you a favor."
The old man asked why. King Ba Yu said: "Recently, a Sharkticon with thousands of sharks broke into this sea area and swallowed the fish in the sea, which made the sea restless. I led the fish in this sea area to fight with them several times, but they were all defeated by the ferocity of sharks. If these sharks are not eliminated as soon as possible, the fish in this area will be eaten up and it will become a dead sea. "
The old man asked, "How can we beat them?"
King Bayu said, "I will give you these two Zhenhai stones. You can extract this Zhenhai stone in the Shenjing well on Dongshan Mountain until it becomes transparent and emits red light. The fairy on Penglai Island across the sea will see it and come to help. They will use these Zhenhai stones to destroy these ugly people. "
King Bayu gave the old man two sea stones the size of an egg and said, "Please, old man. This Zhenhai stone has gone through many trials and tribulations, and its divine power is extraordinary. If it falls into the hands of the enemy, it will be a great event. I trust your dad. When the time comes, let my daughter lead the immortal to get Zhenhai stone from you. " Say that finish, farewell, suddenly disappeared.
The honest man was determined to live up to the trust of the Spanish king. At dawn the next day, the figure of the old man appeared on Dongshan. He finally found the deep well. By the well, he set up a big pot filled with deep well water, put the sea stones in it, and lit firewood under the pot. In this way, the flaming flame burns on Dongshan Mountain, and the flaming charcoal seems to be the sincere heart of the old man. When the water in the pot is dry, add it again and again. I don't know how many pots of water have been boiled dry. The old man's eyes were red and his face was blackened. It burned for nine days, Kuya. When another pot of water boiled dry, two red lights went straight into the sky from the pot, which surprised the old man.
The old man was happy when he suddenly found two strangers behind him. The two men took out a big bag of gold and silver and said that they would change the Zhenhai stone refined by the old man, but the old man refused to agree. The two men exposed lost face and tried to rob him. At this time, a rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky, shooting at the old man from the west of the sea. The Eight Immortals came from the rainbow. In front of them, there is a charming girl guiding. When two strangers saw this scene, they collapsed and became two sharks.
The immortals stood on the cloud, and the girl came to the old man and said to him, "Old man, do you still recognize me?" I have been ordered by my father to get back Zhenhai stone from you so as to destroy those hateful sharks. " Knowing that the immortal was coming, the old man gave his refined Zhenhai stone to Princess Spanish mackerel. Spanish princess took Zhenhai stone, set up colorful clouds, lifted his clothes and led the immortal to disappear among the clouds.
After finishing the important task entrusted to him by the king of Spain, the old man fell to the ground with a stone in his heart and happily returned to his hut, humming a tune and drinking himself.
At this time, night enveloped the sea. King Spanish mackerel appeared in front of the old man again. He thanked the old man and told him, "Old man, tomorrow I will lead the fish in the sea to a decisive battle with sharks. Immortals will use Zhenhai stone to destroy sharks around the shore. You have to leave here for a while, avoid it, and don't get hurt by accident. " After the Spanish king left, the old man was so happy that he didn't sleep a wink at night. He is looking forward to the dawn to see how sharks are wiped out.
The next day, when the first sunrise appeared in the east, the old man came to the top of the mountain (later Duntai Mountain) and looked south. I saw the fairy stepping on the colorful clouds and slowly landing on an island connected with land in the south (later called Fairy Island).
The sun rose, and suddenly the waves rolled on the calm sea, and there was a faint scene of many fish and sharks fighting. There are red waves on the sea. Intensive schools of fish, led by King Spanish mackerel, kept gathering around, causing a large number of casualties on both sides. Just as it approached, the figure of Princess Spanish mackerel floated through the colorful clouds. She fell directly into the sea, turned into a Spanish mackerel, and jumped into the water to fight. Gradually, the sharks were outnumbered, divided into two groups and retreated to the seaside. A group gathered in the north of the mountain and a group gathered in the south of the mountain.
Suddenly, two red lights flew out from the island where the fairy stood. One went straight to the south of the mountain and the other flew to the north of the mountain. Listening to the earth-shattering sound, two Zhenhai stones wiped out all the sharks, and at the same time, they blew the coast in the south and north of Shannan into a half-moon, one became a crescent beach and the other became a bay in the northwest of Haixing Village. It is said that the colorful sparkling sea stones on the beach of Crescent Bay are the fragments of the two Zhenhai stones.
Since then, there have been no sharks around here. The sea is peaceful, and all kinds of aquatic animals thrive. Spanish mackerel, yellow croaker, jellyfish, shrimp and crab are getting more and more year by year.
People also say that the beautiful, brave and affectionate Princess Spanish mackerel gave her life while fighting with sharks, and her body became a reef in Crescent Bay. What about the old man? Some people say that he floated away with the fairy. People from generation to generation praised Princess Bayu's dedication, praised the simplicity, kindness, loyalty and trustworthiness of the elderly, and thanked King Bayu and the immortals for saving the sea here. This place was named Bayuquan because of the semicircular bay related to Princess Bayuquan and King Bayuquan.
The stars have changed, and so has the world. How many years have passed, the stirring waves in Bayuquan Bay and the white clouds flying in the sky still seem to tell this beautiful and moving story. According to local historical records in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, there is an ancient bridge named Xianshui Bridge 25 kilometers south of Gaizhou Town, Gaixian County. The bridge was built on a cold water river. It is made of stone and is about 500 meters long. The building is very magnificent. The running water under the bridge is freezing in summer, and no one dares to enter, so it is named Lengshui River. However, it is really amazing that there is no ice in December in severe winter.
People think that the water in Lengshui River is a kind of divine water, so this bridge is also called Xianshui Bridge. According to local legend, Zhang was here when he rode a donkey around China. Because of drinking too much, he accidentally fell on the bridge, so he left Zhang's palm print and donkey's hoof print on the bridge deck stone. Since then, people have changed the salt water bridge to salt water bridge, commonly known as Zhang Qiao or ancient bridge. In fact, it is not surprising that Zhang Qiao attracts many tourists. It is listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Xiong Yue just because of its majestic mythical color. It is impossible to verify when Zhang Bridge was built. All the bridges have collapsed.
From 65438 to 0993, Sun Zhenyuan, a popular art museum in Yingkou City, and Gong Xijun, a cultural bureau in Yingkou City, put forward the idea of holding a folk festival "Mother's Day" with cultural characteristics in Yingkou based on the traditional ethics formed by China customs and drawing lessons from business trips and cultural festivals all over the country.
