Words: On the peak of Huashan Mountain, a boulder more than ten feet long was cut into three sections, and a crescent iron axe with a height of seven feet and a weight of more than 300 kilograms was inserted next to it. According to legend, this is the place where agarwood splits the mountain to save mother. The stone is called "chopping stone axe" and the iron axe is called "mountain axe".
One year, on the birthday of the Queen Mother, a flat peach party was held, and all the immortals in the sky came to the banquet to pay their respects. The jade emperor's youngest daughter, the Three Virgin, and the golden boy in front of the temple also came. They smiled at each other at the birthday celebration. How can the solemn Flat Peach Club tolerate such frivolous behavior? The immortals talked about it in succession, and the Jade Emperor was furious. He demoted the three Notre Dames to Xue Ying Palace next to Xiyue Temple, and the Golden Boy was also brought to the world.
Jin Tong was born in a family named Liu, whose real name is Yan Chang. Liu Jiafei loved Liu Chang very much and told him to study the scriptures every day. At the age of 20, he was a scholar. That year, Emperor Wang Kaike and Xi Liu went to Beijing to take the exam and passed Huayin. When they heard that the Three Notre Dame was very effective, they went to the temple for a visa and asked about their future. He looked at the three beautiful and dignified statues of the Virgin Mary, not only in awe, but also respectfully shook the lottery drum. Unfortunately, it happened that three virgins went out to eat, and the janitor boy was afraid to sign it rashly. Xi Liu drew the first sign devoutly. When he saw the blank sign on the whiteboard, he was a little surprised. I drew a second one, and it's still empty.
He went to smoke the third cigarette in fear, shook the pipe for a long time, but dared not smoke. The third one fell to the ground and carved it without looking. At the sight of his full hope, he suddenly disappeared and his whole body collapsed. It turned out to be an empty label. After a pause, Xi Liu looked at three statues of the Virgin Mary and wrote on the wall: "Xi Liu is full of anger and hates the three queens of the Virgin Mary. Even smoking three signatures has no effect, and the smoke is here. " Write, and roared off.
After the banquet, the Third Virgin stepped on Xiangyun and returned to the palace happily. After the janitor served the food, she told the story just now She looked at the poem on the wall, ashamed and angry, and couldn't help cursing: "A daring crazy student, how dare you?" How do you know I'm good if you don't teach him! " So he called Fengbo and Rain God. Sure enough, there was a thunderstorm. Xi Liu was on the road when suddenly there was a strong wind, dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and it rained cats and dogs.
How can a weak scholar stand the wind and rain? He stumbled and struggled forward, and finally fell into the mud because the road was slippery. At this time, through the clouds, the three Notre Dames saw Liu Xiyingjun's appearance and good looks, and they had a love for her. She immediately put away the thunderstorm and booked a villa to marry Liu Xi.
Aquilaria sinensis strolled in the clouds and came to Huashan Black Cloud Cave. He called out to his mother, and the voice came to Sanniang through the heavy rock. San Niang can't help being in a good mood. Knowing that her son had grown up and was full of filial piety to save herself, she was so excited that she called Aquilaria into the cave. Sanniang knew that her brother Jiro was miraculous, and the Monkey King, who made a scene in heaven, was also defeated by him. When agarwood was young, Erlang stole the lotus lantern. How can his son be his opponent? So, Sanniang asked Aquilaria to intercede with her uncle.
Liu Yanchang married three Notre Dames. A few days later, he went to Beijing to take the Jinshi exam and became the magistrate of Luozhou. The poor three virgin went through all the hardships under that stone and gave birth to a boy named Aquilaria sinensis. Afraid that Erlang God would harm agarwood, she wrapped the baby and wrote a book, and gave it to the maid Ganoderma lucidum to send it to Luozhou.
When Aquilaria sinensis was 10 years old, one day Qin Guan Bao, the son of Qin Guojiu, laughed at Aquilaria sinensis as an illegitimate child. Chen Xiang was furious and killed Qin by mistake. He ran home and told his father the root of the problem. Liu Yanchang had to tell the truth. After hearing this, Aquilaria decided to go to Huashan to save her mother and hurried out of Luozhou.
On that day, Lv Zu closed his eyes and sat quietly on the futon. Suddenly, she felt her heart churning, and she was sure that Aquilaria would come to Huashan to save her mother. She thinks this is a natural thing, and I want to help her succeed at one stroke. Lv Zu himself went to the foot of the mountain and waited. Aquilaria sinensis came to the foot of the mountain and met a Taoist priest. He quickly saluted: "Excuse me, Taoist priest, is this mountain Huashan?"
"Ask Huashan what to do?"
"Help my mother."
"Who is your mother and where is she now?"
"My mother, the jade emperor's little daughter, was crushed by my uncle Yang Jian under the rocks on the mountain, so I came here to save her."
"Can't go! Can't go! Yang Jian is an evil spirit in the sky, ruthless and skilled in martial arts. Are you his opponent at a young age? I advise you to stop thinking about it! "
Aquilaria glared at him and said, "In order to save my mother, I will compete with him even if it breaks into pieces."
"Ambitious!" Lv Zu said to Sean, "If you don't mind, I'd like to teach you martial arts. What do you think? "
Aquilaria sinensis flew to Erlang Temple to pray for Erlang God. Who knows that Erlang God has a heart of stone, not only refuses to let Sanniang go, but dances with a three-pointed double-edged knife to attack agarwood. Aquilaria was furious and thought Erlang God was deceiving others too much, so he swung an axe to fight with him. Two people in the fog, knife to axe, there is water in the mountains, Long Bian has fish; Kill from the sky to the ground, and then kill from the ground to the heavenly palace; It shook the earth and turned the river upside down, and it was dark.
This incident alarmed Taibai Venus and sent four immortals to investigate. Sixiangu looked at it absently for a while and felt that Jiro, as an uncle, was too heartless to treat a child so fiercely. So they winked at each other and secretly helped agarwood. The agarwood became more and more brave, and the Vietnamese god of war Erlang couldn't stand it any longer, so he had to be defeated and flee, and the lotus lantern also fell into the hands of agarwood.
When he arrived at Tianmen, he saw that he would be surrounded by a majestic and arrogant god for many days, so he bowed down and said, "My name is Sean, and I have come to save my mother and ask my uncle for the key to the mountain."
Hearing this, Yang Jian raised his eyebrows and stared at him. He growled, "bold beast, how dare you be presumptuous?" Leave here early, lest you die! "
Seeing his air, Sean thought it was Yang Jian, so he said politely, "Please give me the key to that mountain so that I can let my mother go." . "karma! If I don't give you some color, how can I know that I am awesome! " Yang Jian took out a three-pointed double-edged knife and chopped it at the agarwood head. Aquilaria sinensis raised the iron pestle and struggled to lift it, only to hear a "click". The knife broke in two and the upper part flew into the air. Angry and anxious, Erlang God shouted and called the roaring dog. The growling dog opened its mouth and flew into the air. Aquilaria sinensis threw a round pill, and the roaring dog swallowed it with his mouth open. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and rolled on the ground.
Yang Jian saw that the dog was dead, so he let the condor go. The eagle spreads its wings to cover the sky and the sun, and its claws are like sharp knives. Aquilaria sinensis threw a long pill and fixed the wings of the condor in the air. It was impossible to get up or down. At this time, powerful Jiro was sitting on a stone, his face was purple, his headache was splitting, and he was weak all over. Aquilaria came forward to ask for the key to the mountain, so she had to order the sky to take it out. At first glance, agarwood turned out to be a glittering crescent axe.
Aquilaria sinensis is carrying a crescent axe: "Niang! Mom! " The north wind is called the south wind, and the south wind is called the east wind. I scream here and answer there, but I can't find where my mother is. He thought that even if he had the key to the mountain, he couldn't find his mother's house and it was difficult to save her. So he burst into tears until it was dark and the sun and the moon were dark. A mountain god was deeply moved when he heard the sound of agarwood, and ran to say, "dutiful son, your mother is in Xifeng."
Aquilaria was full of energy, stepped on Xifeng and called, "Mother!" I immediately heard the echo of "son, mom is coming". Aquilaria sinensis rose higher and higher in the air, holding an iron axe high and struggling to cut it toward the top of the mountain. I saw thousands of golden lights flashing, the sound of thunder was deafening, the summit split, and the Three Virgin slowly came out.
Later, Erlang God also admitted his mistake to Sanniang and Aquilaria. Aquilaria sinensis was also named immortal by the Jade Emperor. From then on, San Niang, Liu Xiang and their heroic son Sean reunited and lived happily ever after.
As a deity in folk beliefs and Taoism, Erlang God Yang Jian has had many legends since ancient times, even affecting the names of places and mountains. Saving his mother by chopping a mountain is just one of his many legends. It exists in the The Journey to the West, and Jiro Bao Juan records his fairy tale of splitting Taoshan to save his mother.

Liu Xiang (Xi Liu, word Yanchang), a scholar in the Han Dynasty, went to Beijing to study for the exam, passed by Huashan Temple, wrote poems in the temple, and teased the Three Notre Dames of Shenhua Yue in the temple [3]. The third virgin was so angry that she wanted to kill it that she was told that Venus was too white and that she had a three-night marriage with Liu You. The Third Virgin married Liu. After three nights, Liu sent a piece of agarwood as a farewell and told him to give birth to a son tomorrow. Three Notre Dame was pregnant, and her brother Erlang God observed that she was angry with Huashan Mountain and pressed the Three Notre Dame in the cave below.
On the peak of Huashan Mountain, a boulder more than ten feet long was cut into three sections. There is a crescent iron axe that is seven feet high and weighs more than 300 kilograms next to the boulder. This legend tells the story of Liu Chenxiang's rescue of the three goddesses by splitting Huashan Mountain, and the legend of Erlang God Yang Jian's rescue of his mother by splitting Taoshan Mountain. According to textual research, there should be a story about Yang Jian saving his mother from Taoshan. Later, with the passage of time, the story of chopping Huashan with agarwood axe evolved.
