Legend has it that one day at the end of the Ming Dynasty, a storm suddenly blew, and the wind was very strong, which blew the ancient locust tree at Fengdaokou to the ground. A nun in the temple invited a carpenter to sell him this big tree. After a period of bargaining, the two finally agreed to pay five dollars. The carpenter paid the money and agreed on a date to cut down the tree.
Besides, near the Red Gate, there is a family headed by Liu Changgeng, who is an honest and kind person. That night, Liu Changgeng had a dream that an old man in a cassock came to his house and said to him, "I have something urgent to ask you: I want you to take five rickshaws to the palace tomorrow morning. You will understand when you get there. "
When Liu Changgeng woke up, he thought the dream was a bit strange. After washing, he didn't eat breakfast, so he took five loads of money and went straight to Doudou Palace.
In front of Doum Palace, two people carrying carpenter's tools are squatting beside the ancient pagoda tree that was blown down by the wind. Liu Changgeng was very sad to see Gu Huai leaning on the ground. He went up to him and asked, "Are you two here to cut down trees?" The carpenter replied, "The nun in Doudou Palace has sold this ancient tower to us."
Liu Changgeng asked, "What's the selling price?" The carpenter said, "Five hangs a lot of money." When Liu Changgeng heard that the selling price was five taels, he thought last night's dream had come true. He quickly discussed with two carpenters: "My family is in urgent need of wood. Can you transfer this tree to me? Besides paying you five taels of silver, I will also give you a reward. " Seeing that Liu Changgeng was honest, the carpenter promised to transfer Gu Huai to him.
After Liu Changgeng redeemed the ancient pagoda tree, he saw that the roots had not been completely pulled out of the soil, so he carefully covered the soil, trimmed it, watered it from time to time and let it rest slowly. A few days later, the withered leaves came back to life, and even new buds grew on the trunk. Liu Changgeng was very happy. After this ordeal, this ancient pagoda tree has become more varied with the passage of time. At first glance, it looks like a long Wolong, so people call it "Wolong Sophora Tree".
Later, Liu Changgeng got asphyxia, and his condition got worse every day. I have searched all the famous doctors near Mount Tai, but no matter how to cure them, it doesn't work. Liu Changgeng doesn't care about life and death. Although he is seriously ill, he still goes to Doum Palace every day to visit his carefully saved Wolong Sophora japonica. On this day, Liu Changgeng felt uncomfortable. He walked to Doudou Palace on crutches, thinking, I'm afraid this is the last time I will visit my good friend.
He barely walked outside Doudou Palace and saw a wild drug dealer squatting under the wall. He stepped forward and asked, "Is there any medicine for suffocation?" The wild medicine seller replied, "I can cure your disease with this panacea, but the drug price is very expensive." "How much does it cost?" "I don't think you are a bad person. You don't want much, and five sculptures will win the grand prize. " Liu Changgeng said, "What if I have no money?" The seller of wild medicine said, "Eat first, and it's not too late to give it when you are well."
Liu Changgeng came home, decocted the medicine and only took it once. It is this medicine that cured the disease. After he recovered from his illness, he went to Doum Palace every day to wait for the seller of wild medicine, but he didn't wait for months. At this time, he realized that the seller of wild medicine must be the god of Wolong Huai, so he bowed to Wolong Huai three times.
After returning home, he invited a famous stonemason to carve the three characters "Wolong Huai" on the boulder next to this ancient tree as a permanent memorial.
