The legend of shuanghe'er mountain

Shuanghe'er mountain and shenjianshou are located in agula town in the south of Horqin grassland. Although the mountain is not high, but in the vast desert grassland, it is like a huge rock flying from the sky. There is a moving story about the origin of the mountain.

It is said that a long time ago, geserhan led the army to chase the demon manggus, who fled eastward in panic. On this day, it fled to the akura area of Horqin grassland, only to see the smoke and dust rolling behind it, killing the sky, scared it out of its wits. Seeing that he was about to catch up with him, the cunning Python Gus changed into a hare hiding in the grass. When the hound in front of geserhanma saw it, he barked and ran to the hare. When manggus saw the situation, he immediately turned into a tit and flew into the sky. At this moment, the Falcon on geserhan's shoulder opened its wings and jumped on it. It caught the tit's throat with its claws like steel tongs. Python Gus showed his original shape, struggling hard, stabbing his sword into the Falcon's chest, and spilling blood on the grassland. But the Falcon's claws are still dead, it holds the python Gus, circled more than ten times, and slowly landed on the prairie. Soon, in the place where the Falcon landed, there grew a huge mountain. In memory of this brave falcon, geserhan named the mountain "shuanghel" (eagle in Chinese).

Thousands of years have passed, and it has gradually prospered. The Mongolian people have multiplied and grazed in the foot of shuanghe'er mountain, forming numerous small villages. The herdsmen live a happy life.

One day, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty passed here on a tour. He saw a mountain rising up on the boundless prairie. It was very strange, so he asked his entourage. No one knew. Back in the capital, Emperor Kangxi had a dream. He dreamed that an eagle came from the north, circled the palace three times and flew away. Emperor Kangxi was suspicious and restless for several days. He ordered Mr. Feng Shui to realize his dream. Mr. Feng Shui thought for a moment and said, "with respect, the emperor's dream is very bad. The eagle is a hero who is born and threatens the country. Wait for the slave to see it in person. " Mr. Feng Shui disguised himself as a herdsman and came to the foot of shuanghe'er mountain. The herdsman told him that the name of the mountain was shuanghe'er, which was eagle. Mr. Feng Shui returned to the capital, immediately told Emperor Kangxi, and said to him: "in my opinion, when the eagle is not flying, I will build a white tower on the mountain to suppress it; at the same time, I will build fifteen OBOS in the direction of the eagle's head to stop the evil from the north. In this way, the emperor can rest easy. " Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed and ordered Mr. Feng Shui to supervise the matter.

There are two brothers living at the foot of shuanghe'er mountain. The elder brother's name is uliji and the younger brother's name is bater. The two brothers, who are good at riding and shooting, are famous hunters in this area. They are called "big God archers" and "small God archers". When Mr. Feng Shui came to the foot of shuanghe'er mountain, he immediately called together the brothers and herdsmen and read out the imperial edict. Then he threatened: "if you don't build Baita and Oboo, there will be wars everywhere, and your good days will all be over!" The herdsmen talked about it one after another, and some recognized it

In order to fix it right, some people think it's wrong. Mr. Feng Shui took out silver to bribe the brothers. The elder brother was very happy, but the younger brother didn't agree. The two brothers quarreled. Elder brother said: "when Golden Phoenix comes to grassland, herdsmen will have happiness and auspiciousness; when white tower is built in shuanghe'er mountain, grassland will have peace." The younger brother said, "the reason why zaoliuma travels thousands of miles on the grassland is that there is no rein; can we still be free when the white tower is pressed on the eagle?" the elder brother said, "zaoliuma looks very handsome with Golden Saddle! Fifteen OBOS are built on the grassland, which is more rich and beautiful. You are so confused The younger brother said: "the rainbow of seven colors rises in the blue sky, which is a beautiful symbol; the halo of seven colors around the moon, which is the coming of disaster. Brother, you are so confused The two brothers fight so hard that no one will be convinced. The two stubborn brothers then proposed to compare arrows. Whoever shoots off his hat will lose. The elder brother knew that the younger brother would not give up. I thought, for the sake of the peaceful scene of the grassland, my brother was ruthless, so he aimed the arrow at my brother's heart. The younger brother also knew that the elder brother would not give in. He thought that for the sake of the freedom of the grassland people, the younger brother was cruel, so he pointed the arrow at his heart.

With a shout, the two arrows shot together, and with a "Dang", Mars flew, and the two arrows collided and fell to the ground. The two brothers were so angry that they cried out with one voice: "the horses don't go into the sheep, the well water doesn't go into the river, even if we don't have one mind, then you go your way, I'll go my log bridge, we'll see!" My younger brother packed up and left without looking back. Brother looked at his brother's back, thinking stubborn brother will not give up, let him die on the road. So he opened the circle door and released a male camel. this end

The camel, who had been tied in the circle for many days, was extremely fierce when it was released. With white foam in its mouth, it ran along the road with its head high and chest high.

Barthel, his younger brother, was walking along the road when he heard the thumping noise behind him. He turned around and saw that his camel was coming. He understood, cruel brother, you want to kill me! A quick flash. The camel pounced on Barthel. Barthel flashed and the camel pounced on Barthel. Three times in a row, camel exhausted, panting, lying on the ground can not get up. Barthel went over, grabbed the camel's head, twisted it a few times like a hemp rope, and then pushed the camel's head into the grass nest under him like a straw button. The camel was out of breath.

Brother Wuliji sat at home waiting and waiting. He didn't see the male camel coming back. He knew that his brother had excellent skills, and he certainly didn't achieve his wish. So he opened the circle door and released a red camel. This is a snakehead camel. It's not as stupid as the big camel. It's like a snake, holding its head low and silent. Red camel also ran along the road.

It was getting dark, and Barthel was tired and tired, and his stomach was chattering. Ignoring the cool wind behind him, he quickly turned around and saw a red camel coming a few steps behind him. It was too late to dodge. At this critical moment, a female camel appeared behind the sand dune on the side of the road. The red camel left Bartel and ran to the female camel. Barthel was in a cold sweat.

After bater left, Wuliji and Mr. Feng Shui led the herdsmen to build it day and night. Before long, a white tower stood up on shuanghe'er mountain, and 15 OBOS were lined up in front of the mountain. Mr. Feng Shui also seized a large amount of money. Who knows, just the next day

All of a sudden, the newly built white tower collapsed. Mr. Feng Shui and Mr. uliji had no idea, so they built it day and night. However, it had just been built the first day, and it was in ruins the next day. In this way, three constructions and three collapses. When the white tower was completed for the fourth time, Wuliji quietly hid behind the white tower to see what happened. As the night went by, the East had just turned white. Suddenly, uliji found that Barthel was aiming at the white tower with a bow and arrow in a very far place. he
