Fairy tales in Dongcheng, Laizhou

1, the myth of Furong Island.

According to legend, in the early days, one day Tie Guai Li and his queen played chess in the sea goddess temple on Salmon Island. Somehow, Tie Guai Li lost two sets in a row. The third set is going to lose again. Tie Guai Li argued with the queen about a son. The queen said, "It's not stupid to lose chess." Tie Guai Li was very angry after losing the chess game. Coupled with a goad, he insisted on putting a hat on Niangniang Temple. Queen Poseidon knew that Tie Guai Li would put a mountain on top of the temple, so she was afraid and asked Zhang Tianshi for help.

Tie Guai Li ran to the Taihang Mountain God in one breath, asked for a small mountain peak, pursed his legs with crutches, and limped to the East China Sea. When I got to Laizhou Bay, I was sweating like a pig and thirsty, so I put the mountain peak on the sea with an iron crutch and took out a gourd to drink. After drinking enough, I dozed off again. Zhang Tianshi came here on a cloud. He saw that Tie Guai Li was asleep, which was an opportunity, so he "pinched his feet and read a spell", and the mountain took root all the way to the bottom of the sea.

At this time, the Eight Immortals are playing along the coast here. When they saw Tie Guai Li sleeping on the mountain, they all went to play on the mountain. When Tie Guai Li woke up, he couldn't push the mountain any more. Since then, Cao Guojiu's "toothpick" has left the "Shenxian Cave" on the island; Lv Dongbin's sword split out "A wisp of blue sky" and Tie Guai Li's drunken "Pillow Stone"; Han Xiangzi Pindi's Sitting on a Stone; He Xiangu's Lotus Auspicious Rock, which turned clouds into stones; Zhang's "Tie the Donkey Stud" and "Drinking in Sendai".

The renaming of Mayfly Island is said to have started in Zhengde period of Ming Dynasty. It is said that Mao Ji and Zheng De, great scholars of the Ming Dynasty, played a game of chess and won the island. Because of its gorgeous beauty, it is named after the girl "Furong". Later, Mao Ji resigned and returned to his hometown. Legend has it that he really became an immortal on this island.

2. The legend of Poseidon:

Legend has it that in ancient times, a fisherman lost his way in the storm at night and his boat was about to capsize. When he was in danger, he saw a woman holding a lamp to lead the way. The fisherman hurried to follow the lamp and finally got out of danger. After that, if local fishermen encounter bad weather here, they will always meet the light. Fishermen said that it was Poseidon who sent the lamp and saved the disaster, so every family paid homage to Poseidon and saved the day.

3. The story of Qin Shihuang and Xiancao:

There are three mountains 2 kilometers north of Golden Beach, which are called "Sanshan Island". Sanshan Island has been known as the "Three Gods Mountain" at sea since ancient times. There is a Yin temple on the mountain, and there are three mountains to watch the tide, which is one of the eight scenic spots in the county.

"Ye County Records" contains: "Qin Shihuang worships Yin here, and the altar site still exists." According to legend, after Qin Shihuang unified China, he traveled around the world. One day, under the escort of civil and military officials, Qin Shihuang traveled east to Sanshan Island and boarded the Land Rover Range Rover in Zhongfeng. I saw the three peaks abrupt, overlooking the sea, surging, and it was a grand view. The first emperor and his ministers looked at this wonderful scenery and suddenly remembered that the immortal had not arrived and the elixir had not been obtained. They were very unhappy. He ordered Zhao Gao and Reese to sacrifice to the Lord Yin. Zhao Gao and Reese chose a rectangular flat stone at the summit, dug a pit as a jar, filled with alcohol, and presented a ceremony to the Yin Lord.

After the ceremony, he came down from the mountain and suddenly reported that an alchemist had asked for an audience. At first, the emperor called him, and he saw him with fine features and slender figure, kneeling and shouting "Long live"! He asked, "What can you do?" Fang Tu knelt down and replied, "I have long grass for your majesty. Please invite a real person tonight. When your majesty sees a real person, he can take this medicine and live forever! " Qin Shihuang was very happy to hear that. He ordered Zhao Gao to dedicate this fairy grass to the alchemist. The first emperor finally got the elixir he dreamed of. He thought, this is my retribution for worshipping the Lord of Yin. However, after waiting all night, no fairy came.

In the morning, Zhao Gao reported that "there are huge footprints outside". The first emperor ordered the elixir to be taken, and died of sudden illness after taking it. More than 2000 years have passed, and the rectangular flat stone at the top of the three mountains is still there. There are nine wine bottles, a pair of chopsticks and two palm molds in the stone pit. Locals call this the legacy of Qin Shihuang.
