The origin of the name legend of Maba Town
According to legend, after the Tang Priest came back from the Buddhist scriptures, Li Shimin, the Yellow Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, ordered him to start translating the scriptures and writing The Tale of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, and his disciples the Monkey King, Pig Bajie and Friar Sand also achieved positive results, so the Jade Emperor wanted to recall the Heaven and increase the official reward.
Only Bai, the rider of Tang Priest, is rarely mentioned in Journey to the West Wu Cheng'en. Most of them appear in the image of animal horses, and there is no earth-shattering drama, or even forgotten. Therefore, those little immortals who reported meritorious deeds did not list him as the apprentice of Tang Priest, but reported him to the Jade Emperor as the object of "making a positive result".
The Monkey King, Pig Bajie and Friar Sand went to heaven happily after receiving the letter from the Jade Emperor. Tang Priest is also busy writing his reportage. Bai felt extremely bored and bored, thinking about doing nothing here or going home. He left Chang 'an alone and went to the East China Sea. I don't know how long he has been gone. He went in the wrong direction and went south. He came to a beautiful river surrounded by green water. There are many green grasses by the river. He stopped to chew and was full. He went to the river to drink some sweet river water, drank enough, lay on the beach in the sun, looked at the desolate scenery around him, and remembered the time when he followed his master and brothers to the Western Heaven to marry the scriptures. Although it was a long journey and was intercepted by monsters, Qi Xin worked together to overcome many difficulties and finally helped Master retrieve the scriptures in the Western Heaven. He also believes that on the way to the Western Heaven, although he only acted as a rider of a master, it was really the role of an ascetic-thankless. I really should. Now I just don't work hard, and finally I am left alone and become a lonely person. In fact, Bai doesn't value fame and fortune. He believes that living does not necessarily require fame and fortune, and a quiet life is also a beautiful life. "Indifferent ambition, quiet and far-reaching." It is better to achieve this state than to achieve anything positive. It is precisely because of this idea that he did not go to war, did not go to heaven to argue, but kept a low profile-went back to his hometown.
At this time, Bai didn't know that there was a monster who had been spying on him for a long time. That is a Tiens raised by the fairy Taibai Venus as soon as possible. Early this morning, Taibai Venus went to the Heavenly Palace to attend the commendation meeting of the Monkey King's other disciples. Taking advantage of this gap, Tiens sneaked to the earth. When they first came to the lower bound, they saw Bai lying by the river, which suddenly aroused his appetite. Tiens made his body bigger, in order to subdue white at once and let him have a good meal. It looked like Bai was asleep, so it jumped up in the bushes, gave a deafening roar and pounced on Bai. After all, Bai is not an ordinary idle generation. At the moment when Tiens was about to pounce, he suddenly jumped up. Several 720-degree somersaults escaped the attack of Tiens. With a long whistle, he jumped over a river dozens of feet wide and stood firmly on the other side of the grass. However, due to excessive force, the saddle on which Tang Priest sat was thrown out and landed hundreds of meters away from the river bank.
The white whistle was heard by the Monkey King, who had a pleasant ear. He knew that Bai was in trouble. The roar of Tiens also reached the heaven, and Taibai Venus understood it, and concluded that villains had sneaked into the earth to make trouble.
The Monkey King was about to receive a reward from the Jade Emperor. Will he sit back and ignore his brother when he hears the white tearing roar? He hit the jade emperor with his fist and said, "My brother is in trouble and must be saved. I will accept your gift when I come back. " After that, without waiting for the approval of the Jade Emperor, a cloud of somersaults went a long way. Taibai Venus also recognized that Tiens and Bai's voices came from the same place, and quickly made a gesture to the Jade Emperor to drive Wukong away: "Brother Wukong, wait for me."
Seeing that Bai escaped, Tiens was stunned: Everything on earth is born well, and even Tiens can escape. More angry, let out a long roar, jump over the river, and then pounce on the white. Because Bai was in shock, he didn't know what kind of object it was, and the monster descended tightly. Because he hesitated for a while, his escape speed was very slow. At this critical moment, the Monkey King came over the river. He took out his golden cudgel from his ear and threw it at the lion.
The golden cudgel pounced on Tiens like lightning, and Tiens was about to pounce on Bai, but was defeated and fled. Baimalong dodged a bullet and saw Wukong. He called for help.
The Monkey King got off Xiangyun and landed beside Bai, saying, "Wukong was late, and I was frightened. You rest here and I will solve the evil. " After that, he raised his golden hoop and chased Tiens away. Suddenly, on this river, sand and stones flew and the river rolled. Two objects are on the ground for a while and fighting in the air for a while. What a tragic battle scene. The Monkey King, as a fairy, can't surrender Tiens at once.
At this time, a fierce white light appeared in the sky. It turned out that Venus Taibai was standing on a cloud of auspicious clouds, holding an object in his hand and saying something in the air. The lion fell to the ground and could not move. Taibai Venus added, "Hey, if you sneak into the lower bound and break the dogma, I will punish you for turning to stone, and you will be exposed to the sun and rain forever in the lower bound!" "
Since then, there has been a stone lion mountain in the south of this river; The saddle left by the white in the north has also turned into a stone, called Maanshan; By the river between these two mountains, a quiet town appeared because it was lying here for nothing. Its name was Maba.
