Allusions to Lijiang’s Jiujiu Dragon Pond

It is said that a long time ago, King Mu of the Naxi people visited Laojun Mountain. On the huge and majestic Laojun Mountain, lush forests block out the sky and the sun, but there are no clear springs flowing in the deep valleys. King Mu's heart was gripped by a trace of regret that there was no spring water. He just stood on the hillside, looking at the old forest that stretched to the horizon. Suddenly, the sound of jingling springs suddenly sounded in his ears. As King Mu listened, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's really a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. This is Longmai Mountain. King Mutian planned to build his palace on Laojun Mountain.

Mu Tianwang is impatient. He soon joined thousands of migrant workers. First, a five-foot-wide stone road was built in Laojun Mountain, which King Mu called Tianwang Road. In order to build a palace, King Mu Tian came to a caravan carrying grain and grass from Tianwang Road. Then King Mutha asked the craftsmen to build a palace. One day, an old man of King Mutian went to Laojun Mountain to play with him (it turned out that his old man was the third prince of the Dragon King who concealed his life experience and whereabouts). On this day, King Mu hosted a banquet in honor of his old man. During the dinner, King Mu Tianwang’s Lao Geng took a sip of wine and said with a blushing face, Lao Geng, you build a palace in Laojun Mountain. Can you give me a room to stay in?

After hearing what Lao Geng said, King Mu laughed heartily and said, Lao Geng, if you are willing to keep our home, let alone give up the house. After my palace is built, I will give you a courtyard to live in.

Lao Geng spent a few days playing in Laojun Mountain. One day, suddenly, he left without saying goodbye and disappeared.

The Wood King built a lot of construction projects, dug the mountains into the ground, and filled the deep valleys into the mountains. The sound of breaking stones, the sound of digging, and the cries of migrant workers simply lifted Laojun Mountain to the sky. At that time, although the tinkling sound of spring water could be heard everywhere in Laojun Mountain, there was no spring water in the mountain, and migrant workers could only carry water from the river behind Laojun Mountain. In this way, in Laojun Mountain, where a drop of water is as valuable as a grain of gold, two old couples make a living by carrying and selling water in the mountains. Late one night, when the stars in the sky blinked tiredly, Mr. Muwang and Lao Geng knocked on the door of the old couple, went into the house and asked the old man to stay overnight, and said: "Apu, Azhu, don't touch the road level after dark. Please let me spend the night." "

If you want to stay overnight, it is difficult to get water in Laojun Mountain, so you have to go all the way to the river to get water.

We, an old couple, make a living by carrying and selling water.

Mutian Wang Lao Geng was moved with compassion and said, Apu, A'Zhu, it's a long way for you to carry water. Let me dig a well for you. Don’t let King Mu know.

The Third Prince of the Dragon King suddenly stretched out a colorful little snake that looked like a monk, played with it a few times, and with a swish sound, the little snake got into the corner of the room. A crystal clear well water immediately appeared in the corner of the house. The third prince of the Dragon King smiled and said to the old couple: "Apu-Azhu, I will dig the well water for you, so you don't have to sweat to drink it in the future."

One day, the old man was bending down to scoop water from the well. Due to his carelessness, he forgot to close the door. Just like that, the clear and attractive sound of scooping water alerted one of Mu Tianwang's water carriers who was passing by the door. Where does the touching sound of scooping water come from in this thirsty and smoky Laojun Mountain? In disbelief, he broke into the door and found the old man squatting by a crystal clear well, scooping water. The water bearer resented the old man for hiding the well water from the public, allowing people to climb mountains and ridges every day and sweat profusely to drink it. The water bearer said fiercely: "You hide the water in front of the public, keep it to yourself, and let others exchange their sweat for the water. You are such a heartless person."

The old man was afraid. He told about the source of the well water. The water bearer heard what the old man said and felt it was magical. He quickly told King Mu Tian about this mysterious incident in detail.

After hearing what the water bearer said, King Mu Tian looked pale, thought for a long time, and then said regretfully: "Hey, this is the treasure land of the Dragon Lord and Dragon Vein, not my territory."

The next day, before the sun climbed to the top of Laojun Mountain, King Mutian hurriedly issued an order, and migrant workers as many as ants rushed out of Laojun Mountain. The migrant workers were frightened and confused after listening to King Mu's command. When the migrant workers were going home on the five-foot stone road they had opened, suddenly, strong winds came up, dark clouds engulfed Laojun Mountain, lightning thundered, and heavy rain poured down. Suddenly, with a loud noise, on the construction site where migrant workers were moving mountains and filling valleys to build a palace, pools of Longtan water suddenly appeared, like mirrors embedded in the old forests of Laojun Mountain. Since then, there have been ninety-nine dragon pools in Laojun Mountain. There is also a winding and spacious five-foot stone road in Laojun Mountain, which extends from Laojun Mountain to the stone drum outside the mountain. Local villagers call this five-foot-high rocky road Jiamu Road.
