Searching for Wu's Folk Stories —— July 7th and Eight Immortals

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, there are thousands of people and relatives and friends in Guangdong, Fujian, Anyuan and Huichang, at least 20,000 people. In a grand ceremony, three and eight Shixian Bodhisattvas were enshrined in Shixianzhai, and a massive bodhisattva parade was held. Every family is like a cloud, and every family is more lively than the New Year.

Why is the Eighth Immortal Bodhisattva in Shixian Village of Huangjiang so charming? Where did the Eight Immortals come from?

The touching story of the Weaver Maid coming down to earth to marry the Cowherd is well known to all women and children. However, few people know that the previous life of Shi Xian Zhai Shi Xian Empress was the first mortal that Weaver Girl came down to earth and was also the matchmaker for the marriage of Cowherd and Weaver Girl.

On that day, fairies sneaked out of the worse gate while Li Tianwang was dozing off, and flew to the back of Barrow seal beside Luofu Mountain on the South China Sea coast. They were sweating and blushing with heat. They took off their clothes and jumped into Wanquan River to take a bath. They saw the jade arm blowing long willows, which was naturally fragrant. Especially the little granddaughter loved by the Jade Emperor and the Empress Dowager, the Weaver Girl is the most lovable, but she is also the most unlucky to disappear. Other little fairies put on their dresses and flew home, and the vicious little niece cried and looked around, very pitiful. At this moment, the girl who was created by the distant cowherd was naked when she was young and moved at any time. She felt sorry for her. She took off the apron on her waist, wrapped up a girl Yusheng, and went into Cowherd's house, which was industrious and simple for his good brother. She even pushed open the door of the Cowherd's house and wanted to find a piece of jade for her to wear, but she just couldn't find it. Just then the Cowherd came back. After watching the Weaver Cowherd for a while, I was deeply moved. The girl's face was hot, her heart beat faster, and it was love at first sight. Ten years ago, I saw some strange things about little people. Confused, when the children told her her birthday, they even thought that Cowherd and Weaver Girl were rare lovers in the world, so they held Cowherd in one hand and their daughter in the other, looking at the flattered Cowherd and worried. The shy niece spoke very quickly and drank a pair of mandarin ducks falling from the sky. Company 10 immediately commanded seven sons to help Niuren clean the house and sweep the house to find him. Please kill the chicken and prepare the wine, let Brother Niu Qing be the master, and arrange for the Cowherd and Weaver Girl to get married on the same day and get married that night. Since then, the eight lost mothers and children have been in frequent contact with the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl have lived a beautiful pastoral life like a family.

15 years later, the Weaver Maid who gave birth to a child was sent by the cruel Jade Emperor to catch the sky. The ruthless Queen Mother drew a rough galaxy with a hairpin, which prevented the Cowherd and the Weaver Maid from chasing the Weaver Maid in the sky. Only the Cowherd and the Weaver Maid were allowed to meet on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year, and there was a magpie bridge on the 100-foot-wide Milky Way. How comedy would that be? It's been ten years, family. Since then, ten years have passed, praying to God everywhere, worshiping Buddha all around, and feeding more and more blood with their own grains. On July 7th, Shan Lang blew the trumpet conch horn into the sky for ten years. In return, 10 million magpies covered the sky in Qian Qian. When they flew to Barrow's hard back and were full, they even flew to the Milky Way in the sky, and the ancient tree snacks were on their blind date. The oil company even found a good job, and Cowherd and his son became rich. Since that year, the annual meeting on the Magpie Bridge has scared the villagers to leave every July, waiting for thousands of magpies and cowherd families to prepare meals and snacks, and specially made a cage of lotus leaf cakes, their favorite.

Saburo is Cowherd's best friend. Although a few years younger than the cowherd, he is also very courageous and keen. What happened to the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl made him very sad and couldn't sleep well. He is puzzled all day, gritting his teeth and punching. One day, Saburo said goodbye to his mother and went to Lingguang Temple in Luofu Mountain alone, where he worshipped Quanzhen exorcist and practiced martial arts, vowing to take the Weaver Girl back from the air. This incident was made known to the Fahai monk in Lingguang Temple, saying that it was against heaven. They should chain the three men to the Millennium cypress at the entrance of the temple. Son and mother refer to the tragic situation of Kenzaburo in mingguang city, and the family lost their voice in pain. Fahai monks huddled together, bashed Shi Lian's mother and son with bagua palm, pitied these mere mortal flesh and blood, and immediately ordered thousands of cypress trees to be planted. Suddenly, the sky shot down a guy full of landmines. He is a proud law. I saw a stone thumb and eight standing trees, which soon turned into eight stone statues, and there was a flash of golden light. A piece of old Liu skin fell from the sky, hugging the eight stone statues and heading north.

A few days later, a miracle happened to Le Qiu Tian. Lai Yu 19 1 1 year 1 month was born in Huangjiang Town, Changning County, Jiangxi Province. He has just passed the age of no doubt. He is eight feet tall. The family is a coolie, who travels between Shuangqiao Newspaper in Jiangxi and Jiaying House in Guangdong all the year round. I sell peanuts and rice in Guangdong and bring some salted fish when I go to Hexi. Haiyan likes to travel alone and go alone. It was just dawn that day, and Lai hurried home from Yinchuan Hotel at the foot of Nantai Mountain with a car full of salted fish. In the sun, just out of the mountain, without children or daughters, Xixia Tea Pavilion is used to putting down the burden of nearly 200 kilograms, holding a hat as a bodhisattva, and criticizing the scenery of five-fingered stone trees on the mountain ridge. He didn't dare to stay, took a break, put on his shoulder and hat, and got up in a hurry. Someone may shout.

Eldest brother took us to Jiangxi.

Lai heard clearly that someone was shouting in the lion's hair, so he leaned down and took out Simao's head to see the dragon. There are only eight stone statues sitting on a stone, and there is a big conch with a big hook next to it.

Ah, it turned out to be a stone bodhisattva

Well-informed, pious and honest that day, please squat down eight feet quickly, hold the most spiritual stone statue with your big hand and ask.

Did the Bodhisattva want me to take the road of Jiangxi?

Yes, big brother, please take us to Jiangxi.

A loud response is like an echo in the air. This is a surprise in the celestial sphere. We are full of salted fish and can't put it down. The bodhisattva is too heavy.

We can sit on the hood. If it is too heavy to jump, you can play the conch horn.

Qiu Tian didn't think much about reflexivity after hearing this, but he put the stone statue on two compasses and was amazed to see that the thin luogai in the city of bamboo leaves was still flat and concave.

Enlighten the Buddha's blessing and ask God to take you on the road.

I saw him hanging the conch around his waist, getting up and lifting his long legs, and heading for Jiangxi.

One day, I watched Luo shoulder a heavy burden covered with eight stone statues. I thought this was the first adventure in my life. This is god's intention. I went to Jiangxi first when I took it. This is my own responsibility. So I didn't dare to stop and rush back I quickly went to a place to rest, drank a few mouthfuls of spring water and wiped my sweat with my skirt. I only touched the conch hanging around my waist, so I took it down and blew it to Sue Minister Cui. Later, I thought someone had found out. I just want to understand what the recipe says about blowing conch at will. First he was afraid, and then he got excited again. He wants to grind his teeth, stamp his feet and play conch.

Say with satisfaction

Accompanied by the loud and long sound of conch, an old cowhide floated into the sky and landed on the footbridge at the foot of the ball that day. Remembering the story my mother told me, Cowherd made cowhide and chased the Weaver Girl in the sky. She boldly stood on the cowhide and blew the conch horn harder, so that the old cowhide slowly left the ground, and then the wind rose, and the old cowhide drifted to the north like an arrow. She closed her eyes quickly when the ball felt dizzy. When she opened her eyes, she saw the familiar hometown scenery and hatred.

Got home

Just finished, I just felt that the old cowhide slowed down and just stopped on a proud son. A gust of wind, the old cowhide slowly pulled up from the foot of the overpass and floated up slowly. The ball flashed and two flashes floated to the south, like a golden sunset in the sky. At this time, he came to the overpass, saw his chimney smoking, and vaguely heard the laughter of his two children. How much he wants to get off the concave bridge at once and go back to parting. Just thinking about this question, I saw a stone statue with its face facing northwest. It's really a good place, and it can't be realized. I must want to settle there. Well, please ask the bodhisattvas to just talk, only to hear voices in the sky. What villages are there?

The Japanese complained about the rough Rossi Pingsha Barrow and the white horse Anyin in the Taiwuxia Hall under the tree.

By the way, Luo Daying knew you could make a decision, but he didn't dare to make a mistake when stopping the ball, so he had to solve it like this. I saw him take off his sandals and hold them in his hand. He dictated to the stone bodhisattva and realized that the bodhisattva was spiritual. If you want to settle in Cuiying Port, please give me your advice.

Hands threw grass obliquely upward, and Zijian's straw sandals turned a few somersaults in the air, immediately stopped the ball and hurried to check it out. I saw that Cao Jie believed in religion, and the heaven quickly picked up ten bodhisattvas and rushed to the port of Yuan Cuiyuan. Men, women and children in eight neighboring villages soon learned about the new adventure of the day and went home to ask the truth that day. Maybe many people came to Cui Yun to watch 10.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, it was hot and rainy, and the overpass was not built. Relax at home. One day, Qiu Tianhe's Kuang Qilin, Xie Chongchang and Lin Bocheng, who came to see us, and his group leader Lai Longgang's old friends were at home. It is said that at noon of this adventure, they were drinking wine. After dinner, they got up and went to visit the Bodhisattva in Cuiyuan Port. Eight of them walked out of the celestial sphere home, crossed the Tianlong Trail, and after a nuclear explosion, they suddenly arrived at Cuiyuan Port where 13 Buddha landed. When the masonry first appeared in front of them, Lai Longgang took the lead and bowed before his chest. Everyone immediately expressed their piety to the stone bodhisattva who came from afar. At this time, the big sun in May hung straight, and people in the sky were dripping with huge sweat on their foreheads and fell to the ground. It was really hot. Otherwise, the careful mine 70 1 leaned down and only looked at the stone bodhisattva. Today, it spreads with sweat at the age of 40.

Xie Chongchang quickly picked up a brick to block the sun, only to see that the sweat on Shi Xian's face stopped. Bai-cheng Lin quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his face first. At this time, the miracle appeared again. I saw two huge seeds fall from the ear of a stone statue. Before everyone could read several episodes of patents, a pine tree and a buttonwood tree each grew ten feet away. Before everyone woke up, two trees had strung ten fish cakes to form a cover. I was stunned by the spectacle in front of me, and my head didn't believe in the celestial sphere, which was far from the cowhide spaceship.

Eight people finally sat in the shade of a pine tree and re-examined the immortal bodhisattva who had never been known before. It is said that 13 has the same appearance and figure, so it is regarded as mother and son. First, I don't know anything else. It will be late soon. When they put Shi Cun Puxiaosong in order, they bowed and left, ready to go home. As soon as they got up, they saw lightning and thunder at three o'clock, dark clouds rolled, and suddenly it began to rain cats and dogs. Eight people hugged the stone pier in three rounds and hid under the big pine tree. After the storm, the sky shed a touch of sunset glow, which made everyone intoxicated. At this time, Lai Longgang got up and stood up, watching the rain fashion in the crowd in his arms, forgetting seven sincere and kind old friends. He said excitedly that all the villagers had come a long way to realize the Buddha's providence and chose to settle down here. This is the blessing of all the villagers in seven villages and eight villages. We should build a public toilet to comfort and worship the Buddha. I don't know what the Great Xia thinks, so be it.

In the next few days, eight leaders went from village to village, prepared several materials, chose the date and location, and were busy for half a month. Finally, they cut down the straw money to build two stone temples. They started work a few days ago and gave 13 Bodhisattva lanterns, but they always felt that something was missing, which was true and sacred and had to be revealed. They always made blind dates. Thinking about these thoughts and questions, the eight of them made an appointment to go to Shenzhen and sit under the pine tree. One day, everyone had no good idea for a while. The stars are also unhappy, so they take out their horns and blow at will. This blew away a dozen magpies and landed on pine trees. When they stood and blew, they saw the old cowhide that was familiar with the sky and landed on the brick roof of the new town. Everyone ran to see the words on it.

Mother and son give up their lives to be cowboys. It is a great pleasure for magpies to draw a 10-shilling Yellow River World Lovers' Party. They are busy building bridges.

After reading the mine unicorn, I simply explained it to these old friends who are not very literate. At this time, everyone decided to start work on July 7 and the Lantern Festival was held. Why do everyone go out to work first to kill chickens and ducks, and wish the cowherd and weaver girl to entertain the magpies coming back from the bridge?

Why did you go on a sea trip to the Palace on July 7th? In China, this day is called Valentine's Day by local people. If you come to Oxcart that day, you can see the grand occasion of realizing the brand of Bodhisattva, even the offering of Handy Corner in Lianyungang and the beautiful scenery of all-night performance, taste authentic Hakka dishes such as duck stuffed with tofu and fried snails, drink yellow wine brewed by the Federation of Trade Unions, and listen to the loud conch horn. If you are lucky, you can still see the ninth five-year plan. Because we don't refuse guests on July 7, the more guests there are, because we have only listened to the Internet for two years, and our career is more developed.
