This place, Dashiqiao, was not originally called Dashiqiao.

According to what the old people said, there was the Lujia Store first and then the Big Stone Bridge.

There is another story here.

It is said that in the early years, the mountains here were connected to the mountains, and the trees in the mountains were so dense that no one dared to go in.

At the foot of the mountain is a grassland with no homes.

Later, there were more than a dozen families east of the winery on Nantou Cross Street, forming a small village.

There was a shop named Lu, and people in this small village called him Lujiadian.

There is a mud river immediately to the west of Lujiadian. What is it called? Legend has it that the water in the river is the holy water in the porcelain vase of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Wherever the holy water flows, not even stones can stop it, and everything turns into sand.

The water of this river is so clear and clear that you can see the mud at the bottom of the river at a glance.

Although the river is a silt river, the bottom of the river is quite solid. People and horses have never fallen into it. Everyone says that the Bodhisattva protects those who cross the river.

One year in the autumn, an old man came from Dahexi. When he was crossing the river, the water surged, and he fell ill and couldn't get up after staying in the hotel.

The shopkeeper of Lujia Store was afraid that the old man would die in the store, and wanted to chase the old man away, but he was too embarrassed to open his mouth.

I don’t know how many days passed, but the old man recovered from his illness, but he still owed Lu’s shop ten taels of silver.

Lujia Dian asked the old man for it, and the old man said: "I don't have these ten taels of silver with me, so let me chisel a stone for you.

"The old man said After that, he chiseled a large square stone from the mountain and gave it to the shopkeeper of the Lujia store. He said to him: "The river in front of your house is inconvenient for people to come and go. This year, the government will definitely be able to build a bridge. By then I will The stone I gave you will come in handy.

If you want someone to use this stone, all you need is ten taels of silver. The shopkeeper of the Lujia store was dubious, so he had to let the old man go. .

It didn’t take long for the officials to build a stone bridge in front of Lujia Store. The supervisor had prepared all the materials, but the only thing missing was the pillar stones, so the construction could not start.

< p> He sent people to look around, but he didn't expect that there was a pillar stone in front of the Lujia store. The supervisor asked the Lujia shopkeeper to ask for the stone.

The Lujia shopkeeper was very surprised. Why did this old man speak so accurately? He said to the supervisor: "Why do you like this stone in my house?" "The supervisor said: "I am not interested in this stone of yours. This stone of yours is exactly what I need to build the bridge. I haven't found it anywhere else, so you can ask for a price. < /p>

After making up his mind, the shopkeeper of the Lu family said, "This stone was given to me by an old man. If you insist on it, just give me ten taels of silver."

"The supervisor was hesitant to see the way, and the shopkeeper was hesitant for some unknown reason. He was afraid that he would not sell. When he asked for ten taels of silver, he didn't care whether it was more or less. He was afraid that he would regret it, so he hurriedly gave it to him. Shopkeeper Lu threw down ten taels of silver and carried the stone away.

The merchants were not afraid of the crowd, so shopkeeper Lu happily gave the overseer ten taels of silver and carried the stone away. I really regretted it.

He thought, no matter how much I asked for, the supervisor would be able to give it to me. /p>

Not to mention the extra ten or eighty taels, you have to give me even thirty or twenty taels.

When the shopkeeper of the Lu family thought about this, the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. .

He said to the people at home: "Let's go to the overseer and ask for a few more."

"The shopkeeper of the Lu family led his people to find the supervisor and said, "I won't sell this stone anymore.

"The supervisor asked: "Why not sell it? "The shopkeeper said: "You will lose money if you sell it.

"The overseer thought that ten taels of silver was quite a lot, so he asked, "How much more do you want?" "When the shopkeeper saw the supervisor asking this question, he thought he could give him as much as he wanted, so he asked for fifty taels. This made the supervisor angry and said, "Don't think about whether your stone is a treasure or whether it can be used as a pillar stone. Well, if you don’t sell it, just move out! When the shopkeeper of the Lu family heard this, he was also angry: "If you don't want to sell it, you won't sell it. How can you build a bridge without pillars?" "He called the people in the shop and went to move the stones.

He never thought that the stones were placed on the bridge and could not be moved.

Seeing this scene, Xiu Everyone in the bridge asked the shopkeeper of the Lu family about the origin of this stone.

When the shopkeeper said it, everyone said that the old man was the craftsman god Lu Ban.

From now on, It is said that no matter how high the water is, they never dare to rush towards this stone bridge.

No matter how high the water in the mud river under the bridge is, it will not walk on the bridge deck; no matter how strong the water is, the bridge will not move at all.
