According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei came from Jingzhou to Sichuan and stationed in Fucheng (now Mianyang City ). After his back garden (now Garden Town ) was washed away by the Sichuan Army with river water, Liu Bei's spirit was not diminished and he planned to build another camp at the dangerous entrance of the key pass and rest. Once the time was ripe, he would seize the Western Shu and unify Sichuan. So, general Wei Yan was sent to survey the terrain alone.
Wei Yan set out from the garden and walked down the Fu River to a broken wall, without people, Citrus Tree very lush sandbank. There is the Fu River in the east, the Kaijiang River in the south, and the Niutou in the west, and the mountains and rivers. The scenery is charming. It is an important water and land transportation route, and a fortress connecting the east and west rivers. To realize Liu Bei’s strategic plan, this is a must-occupate place. Wei Yan was very unhappy when he saw this and immediately reported to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was overjoyed and issued an imperial edict to ask Wei Yan to repair the house as soon as possible, set up camps, and guard the fortress. At this moment, a soldier came to report, "The Grand Marshal is here to build a camp, it must not be!" Wei Yan asked, "Why?" The soldier said, "There is a monster under the river here. He often eats people and drinks blood, calls the wind and rain, and hurts past merchants. If he builds a camp here, he will be in danger." Wei Yan was not willing to believe it, just set up a camp and set up a defense and prepares for construction.
Wei Yan selected 300 soldiers as technicians in the army, and the rest of the soldiers worked as coolies. In addition to sorting out the old houses, they built new houses and in a very short time, a brand new camp was built. It is also named Zizhou (the location of the county town of Santai ) based on the dense characteristics of the continent's dense crocus trees. Wei Yan practiced military and martial arts here, and his military and production were booming, and the army and the people were all happy. However, the good times did not last long. One day, Wei Yan was training in the field, and suddenly, a dark cloud floated over his head. The dark clouds became bigger and bigger, dispersing wider, and even covering the sky. Then, a strong wind blew, heavy rain started, and it was pitch black on the continent. At this time, a lightning bolt from the southeast corner, and a thunder exploded. A monster shaped like a giant python and covered with scales came out of the river. It shook its body a few times and turned into a human pig head. It stretched out its two claws, grabbed a soldier with one hand and laughed for a while, and then shook its body forward. Wei Yan was frightened when he saw such a monster for the first time. He had just come to his senses and pulled out his sword and stabbed it, but the monster was gone. The monster scared people on the island to call their father and mother and hide. Since then, such tragic incidents have happened one after another, causing people to be anxious.
One night, Wei Yan was lying on the bed. When he was in a daze, the door opened with a "creak" and then, the monster crawled in from outside the door. It warned Wei Yan, "Wei Yan, who was so brave that he built the camp on my back when I was sleeping, made me unable to rest. I want you to move out quickly! Otherwise, I will eat you all!" After that, a crack in the room cracked and fell down and disappeared. Wei Yan woke up and was scared and sweated in a cold sweat. Lenovo What happened during the day, I realized why the soldiers stopped him from building a camp here and why there was no trace of deserted on such a huge continent. How can this monster be guarded if it is not removed?
Wei Yan couldn't think of a way to eliminate monsters, and was very distressed. On that day, the weather was stuffy. After lunch, Wei Yan sat on a chair to enjoy the cool air, his eyes were blurred. The Taibai Jinxing in the sky appeared in front of him and said, "Master, follow me!" After saying that, Wei Yan floated up and followed the old man lightly. At this time, a crack was cracked on the ground, and they fell from the crack. Wei Yan felt his chest was dull and his whole body was cold. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he had reached the bottom of the river. It turns out that this is a pool of black water, and there are mountains of human bones in the black water. Taibai Jinxing said, "This is the heinous crime that killed people." When Wei Yan looked up, he saw a huge creature floating on his head, which was the monster he saw in the first few days, with a head as a pig, a python, and a covered in scales. At this time it was sleeping, its four claws were lying lazily.Taibai Jinxing said, "This is a turtle monster. I have been practicing for more than three thousand years, but it has been caused by sleepiness and has not achieved the right result." Wei Yan asked, "How can I punish this guy?" Taibai Jinxing led Wei Yan aside and secretly said to him, "To cure this monster, you need a stone pillar dragon." Wei Yan asked, "What is a stone pillar dragon?" Taibai Jinxing said, "The stone pillar dragon is to carve out three, six, or nine living dragons on a stone pillar, and linger on the stone pillar." After that, Taibai Jinxing floated away.
Wei Yan woke up and felt something was strange. So I found a few strategists to discuss it. Strangely, everyone on the continent knew about it. Everyone is united in order to be a stone pillar and a dragon. Wei Yan asked all the people to go to the three mountains and five ridges far away from the continent to mine quarries. The stones were prepared soon.
Wei Yan selected a skilled craftsman in the army. On the first day, he built a stone into a stone pillar, but the stone pillar collapsed quickly and the skilled craftsman disappeared. The next day, Wei Yan chose another skilled craftsman to build stone pillars. The sky and the earth suddenly swayed, and not only did the stone pillars not be built, but even the house collapsed. When people knew that some monster was causing the destruction, they sighed and said, "It would be great if there were gods to help us. How could ordinary people beat monsters? It would be better to run around." When people were worried, an old man with silver beards floating out of the crowd, walked up to Wei Yan and said, "Let me try it. My ancestors have been doing this for generations." Seeing that the old man had a kind face and a sincere attitude, Wei Yan seemed to have seen him somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment, so he decided to let him try it. Who wouldn't expect that the old man was a god or a Taibai Jinxing in the sky? However, a greater disaster has come.
The appearance of Taibai Venus angered the monster under the river. It shattered its desperate support, and the world shattered. Then another storm came. People had to climb on the ground like ant , taking care of their own lives, and no one dared to look up at what was going on. At this critical moment, Taibai Jinxing brushed the patterns in his hand, and suddenly, the sky and the earth stopped shaking, and saw stones flying into the sky one by one like wings, and then stacked them one by one, forming a towering pillar that towered into the sky. People were shocked when they saw it. Then, the old man shook up and down, left and right with the brush, and a series of "crackling" explosions sounded, and thirty-six shining Tiangang stars appeared on the stone pillar. After the Tiangang Star, nine giant dragons appeared on the stone pillar. Each dragon emitted two cold lights from its eyes. The cold light gathered into a huge light pillar and penetrated straight to the ground. Then, a thunder exploded in the sky and a scream from the ground. The Panlong Stone Column of the sky penetrated and fell to the depths of the Black Water Pool, piercing the intestinal liver of the monster and killing it on the water surface. In an instant, the body of the monster was connected to the stone pillar and Niutou Mountain, a huge, thick and indestructible rock. This is the origin of the legend that Santai strata is a turtle back shape.
At this time, the clouds and mists were dispersed over Zizhou. The towering Panlong Stone Column was majestic and magnificent. A large apricot-yellow "Wei" flag was inserted at the top, fluttering in the wind. Since then, Wei Yan has defended Zizhou and strengthened military and practiced martial arts, laying the foundation for Liu Bei's later capture of Western Shu. The stone pillars and dragons have become a holy object that can control monsters and monsters. The street where Shizhu Panlong is located is named Shizhu Street. Every February 2nd day is the day when the dragon raises its head . The elders and sisters in Zizhou all go to the front of the Shizhu Panlong, light incense and candles, kowtow and pray, and pay tribute to Wei Yan and the shadowless Taibai Venus, hoping to bring good luck and happiness.
Nowadays, most of the stone pillars and panlong have been destroyed (now Qinquan Temple only has a base and a stone pillars and panlong in After the founding of New China, Shizhu Street has been renamed Xinxi Street. However, the story of "Shizhu Panlong Town Zizhou" has been circulating verbally.
