The legend of colorful creek

Colorful streams are deeply hidden in the dense forest, surrounded by towering old trees, exotic flowers and exotic grasses, and the fragrance attacks people. Many foreign tourists come here specially to enjoy this fairyland on earth. What people don't know is that there is a story behind Colorful Creek. ...

According to legend, there is a Xiajia village at the foot of Mingyue Mountain, where there is a girl named Xia Yun, nicknamed Yue. Her appearance is so outstanding that the young man will blush when he sees her, and the woman will envy her. In that small mountain village, Jiao Yue has always been the focus of everyone, and many people think that her beauty can even be compared to a fairy.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong in the Southern Song Dynasty, the emperor went out of the palace to hunt in Beiyuan, a hunting ground 30 kilometers north of Mingyue Mountain. Here are lush trees, lush water plants and various animals, which is a good place to play and hunt.

On that day, a group of scattered guards in the palace got lost and they went into Xiajia Village to look for them. The guard was just about to ask for directions when he happened to meet the bright moon washing fruit by the river. The bodyguard was instantly attracted by the beautiful scenery of the bright moon and completely forgot to ask the way.

What can I do for you? Seeing that he didn't move or speak for a long time, Jiao Yue couldn't help asking him.

After recovery, he couldn't remember what he wanted to say: "I ... I want to ..." After a while, Jiao Yue saw that he didn't talk, so he packed up and went home.

The guards returned to the barracks and were beheaded according to law when they left their posts without permission. At this time, the bodyguard was lucky enough to invite the saints to play, and he presented the adventures of Xiajia Village to the emperor. Hearing this, Emperor Gaozong immediately named him the monarch and sent him to find Jiao Yue. A few days later, Jiao Yue was forcibly elected to the palace and became the imperial concubine of Emperor Gaozong. In this way, a civilian ravine woman easily got into the imperial concubine, and the harem beauty was naturally unconvinced. In private, several concubines plotted to lay hands on Jiao Yue. ...

Less than a few days into the palace, one day, Jiao Yue suddenly had a strange itch on her head, all her hair fell out overnight, and then she also had a strange itch on her body. When she took off her clothes, she was covered with scabies. The emperor visited the local doctors in four townships and eight villages for the bright moon, and the strange disease remained the same. Without beauty, Jiao Yue gradually fell out of favor. The concubines in the harem did not threaten Jiao Yue and did not continue to treat her badly.

On this day, Jiao Yue secretly escaped from the palace. She wants to go back to Xiajia village, but she thinks she has become like this now, and she dare not face the villagers. Thinking about it, she went to Mingyue Mountain unconsciously. Halfway up the hill, Jiao Yue suddenly smelled a strange smell and felt comfortable. Jiao Yue followed this extraordinary fragrance all the way up and came to a pool.

It happened that the weather was fine, and I climbed the mountain for a long time, sweating and itchy. Seeing this crystal clear stream, Jiao Yue couldn't help but have the desire to take a bath. She looked up and saw a natural barrier between the exotic flowers and trees. So she untied her skirt, took off her underwear and jumped into the pool. Suddenly, Jiao Yue felt a wonderful comfort spread all over her body.

Just as the bright moon bathed in spring water, countless seven-color rainbows rose by the pool, covering the water tightly. It turns out that this is a screen that the gods deliberately cast to protect the moon from bathing. After taking a bath for nearly two hours, Jiao Yue climbed the flat boulder and lay on it to rest. She found a cabin nearby, lived there temporarily, went to the mountains to find some wild fruits and vegetables during the day, and took a bath in the pool in the morning and evening.

Strange to say, since Jiao Yue bathed in that mountain spring stream, her strange illness is getting better and better every day. Not only that, she is more beautiful than before, and her delicate face is red and white, shining like paint. Under her radiant light, no matter how brilliant the brocade is, it looks dim and colorless.

It is a great shame for the royal family to escape without permission. After Jiao Yue escaped from the palace, the emperor lied that the imperial concubine had died of illness and sent soldiers to look everywhere. Soon, the soldiers found Mingyue Mountain. They were dumbfounded when they saw the bright moon like hibiscus emerging from the water. The soldiers quietly told the emperor about the situation, and the news spread to the harem. All the concubines regretted not being eliminated.

On the same day, more than 10,000 soldiers received an imperial edict and gathered at the foot of Mingyue Mountain, hoping to "please" the Moon back to the palace. Xiajia Village at the foot of the mountain also knew that Jiaoyue was not dead. They tried their best to save Jiaoyue, but the weak villagers could not resist the imperial orders.

Fortunately, when the mighty soldiers arrived at the pool, they didn't find the bright moon. When this situation was reported to the palace, the emperor became angry from embarrassment, mobilized another 50,000 military forces and ordered the whole mountain to be searched, but it still backfired.

It turns out that the bright moon is the reincarnation of the "Nine-Day Xuan Nv" in the sky. If she is robbed in this world, she will lose her hair and change her skin. Thanks to this pool, Jiao Yue will be promoted to immortality in advance. The day soldiers searched the mountain happened to be nine days after Xuan Nv's return to heaven, which saved the day. From then on, people called the stream where Xuan Nv bathed for nine days as Caixi.

No matter what season, as long as the weather is fine, tourists will definitely see colorful rainbows when they come to Qicai Creek.
