Myths and legends

the longevity hill

In the past, Xiangtan was not so prosperous. The banks of Yuhu Lake were full of mountains. What's fengzhuling! Shita anling! Hutouling! On the West Bank of Yuhu lake, there is a mountain called Changshou mountain. Why is it called Changshou mountain? Because there is a long-lived old man surnamed Zheng living on the mountain. His hair and beard are all white, but his body is very vigorous, and his young children are not as good as him. No one knows how old he is. Some said he was in his forties, others said more.

be ready to help others

He lived alone on the mountain and built a hut. He cut firewood, hunted and cultivated every day. His crops were plentiful and strong. His vegetables were big and good. He wanted to hunt and hit a hundred goals. So he can't eat up, he can't use up. But he was very thrifty and gave the rest to the poor. As long as he comes to ask for help, whether it's a neighbor or friend he knows, or a passer-by or a beggar he doesn't know, he tries his best to help. Sometimes he helped others so that he had no food to eat, so he picked some leaves and wild fruits to satisfy his hunger.

One night, he was playing straw sandals in the moonlight. Suddenly, a gust of wind came, and eight people came in from the outside, including a woman. The first one was the old man with white beard. He had a fishing drum in his hand. He said to Uncle Zheng, "father-in-law! We pass by here and want to have a rest on the precious land. Can we? "

Entertaining guests

Uncle Zheng said happily, "as long as you don't dislike it, but my hut is too narrow for you to sit down." The elder said, "it doesn't matter. Let's just squeeze." With that, all eight entered the room. It's strange to say that even three people feel crowded into a small shed, and eight people feel more spacious. Zheng Laoguan was a little strange, but he heard one of them dressed in rags, black face, crutches, with a beard carrying wine gourd said: "father-in-law, we are all hungry. Do you have something to eat here?" Mr. Zheng said: "yes! yes! You must have come from a long way. I'm hungry. I just hit a rabbit today. Let's entertain the guests! " With that, he brought a jar of wine from the corner and a steaming bowl of fragrant rabbit meat, which he put on a small square table made of bamboo.

A chance encounter with an immortal

A scholar with a jade flute in his hand suggested: "the moon is beautiful tonight. How about we move to the lake and drink to the moon?" The bearded one applauded first, and the others agreed. They brought pots, pots and tables to the edge of the rain lake. Each of them found a piece of stone as a stool to drink until the west of the moon. Uncle Zheng also asked him to come to the west of the moon in the afternoon. He would boil water to make tea for them, and then go to the mountain to pick fruit for them. Seeing that the moon was about to set, the stars were blinking and dozing. Eight drinkers were all drunk and dim. An open stomach said to Mr. Zheng, "father-in-law, how can we repay you for your hard work all night? Whatever you want, we can do it. "

Mr. Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't want anything. "

Even Beard said: "your hut is so small, don't you want a good house?" Old Zheng said with a smile, "the earth can be a house for me. Besides, I still have this hut to cover myself. It's enough. "

A Taoist with five wisps of whiskers, long eyebrows and long eyes, and a sword on his back said, "father-in-law! Happiness, wealth and longevity are your choice. "

Uncle Zheng said, "I regard wealth and fortune as ropes. I don't want to let it bind my hands and feet. As for longevity, everyone can't escape when they die of old age. Let's listen to nature! "

At this time, the beautiful woman opened her mouth and said, "you don't love the happiness of life, fortune and longevity in the world. You must have seen through the world and wanted to become an immortal! "

Zheng laoqing said: "as the saying goes, no trouble or annoyance is an immortal. I don't know how to worry when the sky falls down. I'm already an immortal among people.

Mashi Bridge

After repeated requests, Mr. Zheng thought for a while and said:

"If you insist on me, I'll give you one! It's our two lakes, which have a radius of tens of miles. It's not convenient to walk across the lake for half a day. It would be great if you could help build the bridge and make it convenient for everyone. "

"It's easy, we promise you," the black faced man said

Eight people went out, but Mr. Zheng didn't follow them. He cooked tea for them at home. When the tea was ready and sent to them, there was a bridge across the lake. The eight men were walking down the bridge towards Tingjiang. Old swineherd Zheng was shouting and chasing after him. Suddenly, eight auspicious clouds flew. Eight people waved to old swineherd Zheng, climbed on the auspicious clouds and floated away.

Mr. Zheng went back to the bridge and looked at it carefully. The bridge was made of eight pieces of stone. It was flat and wide. Full of joy, he walked back and forth on the bridge until dawn

Nanbu Street

The next day, the people nearby saw the bridge and were very happy. According to what Mr. Zheng said, we guessed that the eight immortals had come down to earth, so we named the bridge eight immortals bridge. A small street on the other side of the bridge is called Nanbu street because Baxian is passing here on the South Flower step. Later, as time went on, the eight pieces of stone were worn out and repaired again, but they were still used.
