Inspired, he agreed to help them, gave the soldiers an armored hat, and sprinkled everyone with fairy water from Yinping Mountain to protect the soldiers from invulnerability. Soon, General Wudao led his soldiers to wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop.

11. "Shenxian Spring" scenic spot: This scenic spot is under the big rock on the top of Yinzui Mountain. Because it is located on the top of the mountain, there is no vegetation around it, but there is gurgling spring water flowing out all year round. It is quite strange.
