"Only chaos the world, not chaos Songxia"

In the early years of Shunzhi, there were local bandits who occupied the sea and came and went with the tide. They plundered Yuyao and committed Shangyu. Yu Dekun, Zhang Zhenyu and others led the people to fight to protect the village. When the two sides were fighting fiercely, the wind and sand suddenly came up everywhere, covering the sky and the sun. In the middle of the sky, a god man with a golden helmet and a red robe appeared, wielding a sword to drive, flying and electrifying, and the thieves made a big hit. All the others called for "grandfather Songcheng to spare his life" and ran away. At the beginning of Kangxi, San Francisco was in turmoil, and the coastal area took the opportunity to gather. Most of the people avoided entering Songzhen. The thieves wanted to invade Songzhen for a long time, but the villagers had already done a good job of defense and martial law. One moonlit night, all sounds of the Houhai are quiet. Only the sea breeze whistling through the reeds makes a rustling sound. The group of bandits quietly go ashore. Taking advantage of the moonlight, they approach Songzhen very quickly. Suddenly, a god man with a golden helmet and a red robe stops the way. The group of bandits are so frightened that they dare to flee and jump. Songzhen is all right. Later, some villagers fled from the thieves and talked about it. The common people were surprised that the status of Songcheng temple was higher in the hearts of the common people, and the incense was more prosperous. With the protection of "King Bodhisattva", they won the reputation of "only chaos the world, not chaos Songxia"!
