The elm well and absolute being tree
It is said, the gold tower east sand nest a
take is the one mesa, the ancient quicksand river flows through from
now on.Here rich soil, ability proper herding.Live many nomad's way
of life peoples, they take planting the wheat as a lord,
operating concurrently the livestock farming and handicraft
industry, live very wealthy.
But, expect at that time, the quicksand river
didn't deliver a water for two years, thering is no dragon in the
quicksand river at that time king.Although people burn joss
stick,dedicate and sacrifice to offer sacrifices to for many
times, canned also come down the water fiesta.Summer the third year,
ground the is withered, one miserably view, connect the water
that people eat also difficult find out.Once, a puts sheep to
pasture the detection to leave here southwest 20 in of there
is one pond water in place.The drought was nasty of people
don't care the water can flow down, mobilize 100 ascend thousand of
the person dig a dike to lead a water.Can the dike dig, the water
didn't flow before go toward at all, everyone had to stem to stare,
following at the dike up stunned.By this time, the west sea dragon
WANG2 YAO2 CHI2 attend meeting from pass by here, hear people sigh a
voice, press cloud head then, careful on see, what a guy, sees the
sun roast the earth hair is burnt, the grain seedling lose plant,
real estate all dry .Is this what is the row?WANG2 YI of the
dragon think the oneself didn't arrange the dragon son dragon as the
quicksand river before attend meeting originally the hair water.Sky
a day, ground last a year, the oneself attends meeting for three
days, the human life woulds be for three years, too late to regret
in the heart.Stand down secular world then and at once, change to
make one old, go about finding out in person, pacify people, walk
through one and other, see every family lack to eat little to wear,
the everyone is sallow and emaciated.Lead along while, dragon the
king feel the belly hunger, being him toward common people to beg
for to order to eat of, who all do not take pleasure in give,
fearing to give< the rice other people to eat, the oneself
starve.Begged for from morning until night one mouthful the rice
eat, dragon WANG2 XIN in big isn't quick.
Afterwards, dragon the king arrived a, this
only old two people, have no children, hear the old say for a day
have a meal, this old two people does the millet rice for the old
then, making the old satisfied to eat at one feed.After meal, the
old tells this old two people: "This afternoon, your lately- open
dike in will deliver a water."Say that finish, come out the outside
of the door, the old two people believed like to believe not of with
past.The old is everywhere , see before the door of an elm,
say to the old two people all of a sudden: "This tree isn't a
general tree", the side says a side toward old two people to take
leave.
The old two people sees extraordinary
appearance of the old generosity of spirit, adding it to hope the
water heart to slice, wishing this, the stranger ffirmation isn't an
ordinary mortal, his words may be true.Therefore, very happy, rush
about everywhere then, tell this good news everyone.In the
afternoon, jubilant people round by the side of the dike to wait
for.Led a hour about, indeed as expected new water of the pure in
the dike since the south flowed slowly toward the north, the water
current still had a snake ago.Snake fore the side walk, water the
heel flows in the back, the snake walks to have another quickly, the
water current has another quickly, once everyone see, all feeling
very strange.By this time a very naughty young man suspicion water
current is too slow, think to be an anterior snake Be do strange,
then a the spade go to, becoming the snake spade two sons.This
spade is unimportant, can flow of water also return.Hope the
water heart slice of people, to young man of this moves with one
action very angry, round to come over to blame and scold young man
in succession.At by this time, the old two people in the crowd
stands down a dike to go to, discovering the spade break of there is
still the millet rice in the snake belly.The old man of the docile
shouts loudly a:"was out of order !"Other people but all not
understand.Just at this time, a magpie fly down, connecting the
snake that the spade break to get up, wearing to face west a square
to fly to go to with the mouth .
Originally, the magpie is a dragon the
prince's uncle.He passed by here today, discover brother-in-law
being harm by the person's spade, saved him to send back a dragon
temple then.Once the prince of the dragon see a father be harm by
the ordinary mortal spade, break into a furious rage, swearing and
revenging, dragon WANG2 QUAN4 also advise and live.When night, it
take up the treasure bottle, immediately to send a water in the
quicksand river.In a short instant, the mesa became one then
boundless.It is people to call a voice everywhere in the dark
night.That old two people's also steeping in Shui-li can't break out
of.At this time, they thoughted of in the daytime the elm say by the
old, two people climb then up the tree, the water floods more more
deep, can this tree is also more and more high.The water rises one
Chinese foot, the tree is high two Chinese footses.The other people
are all drown, the old two people saves finally.After three days and
three nights, the water just backed to descend to go to, the old two
people descend once the tree see, original everythings all didn't,
whole sediments that is hurtle by the water cover up to press.From
now on, this took to become numerous sand dunes, becoming the east
sand nest of now. Say to the oddness, arrogant water after, the old
two people became a rightness of young husband and wife.They arrive
the southwest of the sand dune on taking to live, grow many
posterities.Boon helped for the sake of the thankful elm, he has
been educate posterity, wanting the generation generation to
receive elm respectfully, prohibitting to move a branches and leaves
on the tree.Therefore, down to date, the tree branch of this elm
also the nobody fold it.How much in the last years, the withered
branches and leaves is spreading very thick one layer below.This elm
returns now long in the sand dune, long and prosperous not . |
