The legend of shouxian valley

According to legend, Shouxian Valley is the hometown of Antarctic immortals. It is located in the middle of Wuyi County, Zhejiang Province, which is known as the hometown of hot springs, the hometown of ecology and the forest park. It is the intersection of Xianxialing and Kuocang Mountain Range. Looking from a distance, the trees in the valley are lush, the mountains are secluded, the mountains are stacked, the momentum is magnificent, and the fairy fog fills the air; A closer look at the gurgling rock springs, lush grasslands and orchids is like a paradise.

There is a cloud in the ancient poem: "The sky is high and the clouds are heavy, the land is beautiful and the Shouxian Valley is beautiful, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful and Hu Zhijia." The scenery of Shouxian Valley is not only like a fairyland, but also many precious fairy grasses such as Dendrobium candidum and Ganoderma lucidum grow on the cliffs in the mountains.

Another legend is that Qinglong, a brave general under the Jade Emperor, fell in love with the gentle and beautiful Jinfeng, the maid of the Queen Mother. For the sake of freedom and love, they ignored heaven and resolutely descended to earth. The Jade Emperor was furious and sent heavenly soldiers to capture him, so he hid in the foggy Shouxian Valley all the year round, and even the clairvoyance and clairvoyance could not be found. It is also said that Huanglong, the leader of the pursuer, missed the Qinglong Brotherhood and deliberately let them go. Later, the Jade Emperor found out, took his anger out on Huanglong, and drove him into a cave in Baoshishan, Hangzhou, which is today's Huanglong Cave.

It is said that Qinglong and Jinfeng lived in a cave in the valley, lived a peaceful and happy life, and gave birth to a dignified and energetic boy with the crystallization of love. The child absorbed the aura of the valley. Smart since childhood, but kind-hearted. When I grow up, I am proficient in medical skills, often defying difficulties and obstacles, tying a rope around my waist, flying over a deep valley of 100 feet, collecting fairy grass such as Dendrobium candidum and Ganoderma lucidum, which are moistened by rain and dew on the cliff, and being inspired by the aura of heaven and earth, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon to save lives, ward off epidemics and ward off evil spirits, and benefit the people. Because of its extensive accumulation of virtue, it became immortal after a thousand years, and was canonized by the Jade Emperor as the longevity star in charge of human health and longevity-the Antarctic immortal.

The valley where Qinglong and Jinfeng lived in seclusion was named "Shouxian Valley", and the cave where Antarctic immortals were born was called "Dragonand Phoenix Cavern". There are still dragon shadows and phoenix shapes on the cave walls.
