About Jiulongkou and the Five Grain Sacred Tree from Northern Jiangsu Province

In ancient times, during the era of Yao, Shun, and Yu, a giant python with boundless power appeared in Jianhu Lake in Yancheng. It could transform into human form and had an unstable temperament. If you are not happy, you will do evil and eat people and animals. If you are happy, you will flood the golden mountains and harm the fellow villagers.

He also spits out water based on his mood, flooding farmhouses and crops;

Drains the water in rivers based on his mood, leaving not a drop behind, causing the crops to wither and the river creatures to survive.

One day, a river clam spirit entrusted the people of Dream Water Town to burn incense and pray to God, asking the Dragon King to save the people from water and fire.

There are nine small green dragons in the East China Sea. They are very young and lively. They made a small mistake and were punished in the Crystal Palace. The old Dragon King asked them to atone for their sins. The young Jiulong was determined to punish the evil

The giant python has been around for thousands of years and has a cunning and cunning temperament. The power is immense and difficult to deal with.

The nine dragons all plunged into the deep water. They all wrapped their bodies around the evil python, hoping to suffocate the evil python to death under the water and eliminate harm to the people.

But the giant python was cunning and escaped by pretending to be dead

The nine dragons used too much force and their bodies were embedded in the soil and could not move. Seeing that their efforts were in vain,

In the end, Jiulong bravely spit out their dragon balls and trapped the giant python. They themselves became nine rivers and protected this land forever

Another saying is:

In ancient times, in Now near the entrance of Kowloon, there is a thousand-year-old black giant python that failed to transform into a dragon to survive the tribulation.

Its temperament has gradually become ferocious, cruel and greedy, and will not let go of all humans and animals it sees. , harming the people around him and making them miserable, a carp spirit couldn't bear to secretly tell people to pray to God and send gods to save the world.

Heaven sent the Dragon King of the East China Sea to subdue it

The old Dragon King sympathized with the people's plight, and sent his nine sons, nine small green dragons, to subdue the giant python.

The dragon gave birth to nine sons. Although the nine sons have different abilities, they are all extraordinary. The same is true for the thousand-year-old python. It is so profound that it is hard to distinguish between them

Qinglong They were exhausted, seeing that the world was riddled with holes, the people were in dire straits, and they couldn't bear to be hurt or tortured any more

They resolutely used the last trick - spitting out life-saving dragon ball blows To the demon python.

Finally, the unbelievable demon python looked at his body that was hit and slowly fell down. Qinglong won.

As we all know, the Dragon Ball is the birthstone of the Dragon Clan. If the Dragon Ball is not returned, the Dragon Clan will perish.

In order to protect the people and stick to their promise to the world, the nine green dragons gave up their young lives and died together with the giant python.

The nine green dragons also fought against the demon python out of guilt, leaving the place devastated, in a mess, and with no harvest

They turned their bodies into nine rivers, hoping to nourish them for generations to come. Following this land

The dragon beads they spit out also formed a mysterious island at the intersection of Kowloon and Kowloon.

The mystery is:

A strange small tree grew out of thin air on the island. The tree miraculously produced different grains as fruits according to this year's harvest.

I have seen it with my own eyes. I visited this tree here during the floods in the 1990s. Before the floods, it had already produced fish-like fruits, similar to small tropical goldfish. Perhaps

local people say that this magical tree is the giant python killed by the dragon ball. In gratitude for the good deeds of the nine green dragons, he finally realized enlightenment and turned into a sacred tree to protect the deceased green dragons. , and also prayed for the local people.

Later, in order to thank Qinglong for his life-saving grace and nourishing virtue, people called the place where the dragon spit out the beads "Jiulongkou"

The island where the dragon beads condensed was called "Dragon Pearl Island"

And the small tree turned into a giant python is called the "Five Grain Tree"

At the same time, the grateful people also built a Kowloon Temple, offering incense and reminders all the time. Future generations will never forget Qinglong's kindness in protecting the local area.

In the magical Jiulongkou, when the sun rises in the early morning and the warm sun reflects on the nine rivers, the sparkling river surface will reflect a gorgeous, brilliant, golden and dazzling light like dragon scales.
