Introduction

Babaoyunguang cave is located on a flat ground in front of Longjing top. There were several temples in Yunguang cave, named Yanshou palace, which was built in the Jin Dynasty. It faces a deep valley in front of it, and has a cloud light vortex on the back. The scenery is very beautiful. The ancients once described it as "hanging on a couch with low clouds and trees, and opening a window close to the Dou Xing". It makes people feel blessed to enter the cave. Unfortunately, the simple and elegant Yanshou palace was destroyed by war, leaving only broken walls. Now the palace of longevity is restored according to its original appearance.

Introduction to scenic spots

There are eight treasures in Yunguang Cave: gingko tree, rattan, salt water cave, Longquan well, Xianren bridge, stone graveyard, itching tree and Bodhisattva temple. The cave is located in the south of the yuanshiding of tiecha mountain. The entrance of the cave is to the southwest. The depth of the cave is more than five Zhangs, and it can be four or five Zhangs, two Zhangs wide, three Zhangs, three or four feet high. I don't know when it started, and there is no inscription. I think it's made in heaven and it's beyond human power. The most amazing thing is that there are eight treasures in the cave named after them. When they first enter the cave, there are stones round as pearls on them, which can be filled to a great extent. They are named as ridingfengzhu. In the romance of the novel, King Wu of Zhou conquers Zhou, dismisses Yisheng and Chaotian, and borrows dingfengzhu from Changmei Li Daxian in tiecha mountain to break the "ten cesium wind roaring array". It is absurd and groundless. Yu Xi Jue Yun says: "in order to ask whether there is something about Fengshen, Taigong waves and laughs at Hu Lu. There is no group of immortal array in the suburbs of Shang Dynasty. Why should dingfengzhu be borrowed?" however, the name of the pearl must have its origin. According to the Taoist of tiecha mountain, "if you sit inside the entrance of the cave, you can't get into it even if there is wind."

Inside the cave, there is a stone birthday star at the top. It is three feet high and sits with two hands on its knees. Its head looks east, just like a portrait of the birthday star. Entering the temple, there is a stone tiger on the east wall, crouching, if you will fight. Again, there are stone wood fish, one foot four or five inches long, such as big crucian carp, hollow, try to knock it, its sound sonorous. There is a stone on the top of the cave, which is shaped like a basin, and the four sides of the upper mouth are like lotus petals. It often drips water into the small hole and never exhausts, so it is called Shilian basin. Some residents often take their water to cure their diseases. The abbot called it holy water well. There is a stone dragon on the top, about ten feet long. Its body shape is like scales, and its head and tail can be seen. Its tail is in the north of the stone lotus basin, and its head is in the south of the stone lotus. When you look down, you can walk forward and backward. If you want to absorb water, you want to fold it into the well, and the scales are thick. It's terrible. There is a stone on the west wall of the cave, which is like a bed. It is five feet long, three feet five inches high and four feet wide. It is called Shixian bed. In the north of the bed, there is a stone, shaped like a toad, with two eyes wide open. The mouth is like spitting, and the foam mark is more than two feet. The belly is pengheng, and the whole body is like a scab, so it is called shichan. From this, there is a cave, which is unfathomable. Maybe it connects with the Bixian Valley, but it has not been tested. The so-called eight treasures in the cave.

The cave is also quite quiet. There has always been a temple. Four or five feet into the cave, there is a stone temple with eight feet on the ground. The Jade Emperor is worshipped in the Sanzheng hall, Zhenwu emperor in the East chamber, and Sanguan emperor in the west chamber. All of them are bronze statues. In the south of the East Stone Temple, there is a brick temple, the statue of Zhongsu zhentan land station, and in the south, there is a big fairy hall for worshipping old lady Hei, which is also a brick temple. The image of the temple in this cave is also set.

According to Daoists, this cave has a spiritual response. Every may or June, when the drought is high, the people who come to pray for rain in neighboring cities or villages will have a good rain. And the people who pray for rain will not worry about it. The cave can accommodate 800 people. After the verification, people are surprised. Under this cave is the sun moon heaven and earth cave, and then the East and West lion peaks, just like the home of Canyu. The so-called left is Tianzhu, and the right is Wenbi.

There are three square eight foot stone temples in Babao Yunguang Cave: one in the main hall is a bronze statue of jade emperor, two feet and five inches high, and the bronze statues of Zuo Jintong and right Yunv are one foot high; one in the East Hall is a bronze statue of Zhenwu emperor, one foot and five inches high, and the bronze statues of left turtle general and right snake general are one foot high; one in the West Hall is a bronze statue of Sanguan emperor, three feet high; and one in the South brick temple of the East chamber is a bronze statue of Lingguan One statue is one foot high; one statue of Fengzhen mountain land is one foot high in the brick temple to the south of the west chamber; one statue of fenghei old lady is one foot two inches high in the east side of the cave entrance.

After the eight treasures cloud cave magic objects: there is a wooden plaque at the entrance of the cave, and the article reads: "emperor's virtue is widely transported". One iron chime in front of the God in the main hall, one foot in diameter, one wooden fish and one four foot table; one iron chime in front of the God in the East Hall, one foot in diameter and one four foot table; one iron pan in front of the God in the West Hall, one foot in diameter and one four foot table; one iron chime in front of the spirit official position and one iron chime in front of the earth God, six inch in diameter; one iron chime in front of the Dharma guard immortal position, eight inch in diameter and four foot table.

The allusions of eight treasures

According to legend, in the last years of Shang Dynasty, King Zhou was cruel and the world was in chaos. Jiuding tiecha mountain is also occupied by Qinglong and Baihu. Qinglong was a shrimp soldier in the East China Sea. Once upon a time, the Dragon King of the East China Sea went to the heavenly palace to report the water situation on the order of the Jade Emperor, and the shrimp soldiers were lying on the Dragon King's tail. When the Dragon King arrived at the Nantianmen gate, he felt his tail itching. When he looked back, he knew that he had a shrimp soldier on his body. It was against heaven's law to bring shrimp soldiers into the palace privately. There was no way. The Dragon King changed the shrimp soldier into a dragon body, saying that he was his own son, which escaped the punishment of the Jade Emperor.

This is the shrimp on the dragon's tail. However, after returning to the East China Sea, the Dragon King was angry and drove him out of the East China Sea. The green dragon turned into a shrimp soldier fled along the prince river to the cloud shrouded tiecha mountain. Besides, the white tiger was originally the stone tiger of Nantian gate. He had been fumigated by the immortal spirit of the gatekeeper for a long time. He thought he had already become an immortal, but he was not granted by the Jade Emperor. He was still guarding the gate. In a rage, he smashed the jade pillar. However, without waiting to escape, he was captured and locked in Guanmen mountain in Liaodong. One day, with the power of thunder, the white tiger broke the chain, knocked open the gate and escaped to tiecha mountain. Now I can see that the two separate cliffs on the left and right of Guanmen mountain were smashed open by the white tiger. Qinglong and Baihu collude with each other on tiecha mountain to make waves and stir up rare animals and birds to fly far away, which makes the people restless. They forced the people to send a couple of virgins to them on the third of March every year. Otherwise, the Taizi River will rise 50 feet and submerge 18 villages in Jiuli; the tiecha mountain will collapse nine peaks and bury hundreds of people.

Shan said that it was the third of March of this year, and the people at the foot of the mountain were carrying boys and girls, offering sacrifices in the temple, burning incense and kowtowing, waiting for the green dragon and white tiger to come with blood. The green dragon was eighteen feet long, as thick as a jar, blocking the flying sand and stones, and its mouth was like a blood basin. Look at the white tiger. It weighs a thousand pounds. Its eyes are like fireballs. Its roar is like thunder. It bares its teeth and shakes its long tail. The people knelt down with their heads in their hands and did not dare to make a sound. Seeing that the boy and girl were ready, the green dragon and the white tiger were overjoyed and arrogantly said, "listen, poor people, it's too cheap for you to send two babies. From now on, every September 9, we have to send two beauties for our brothers to enjoy." After that, the boy and girl are about to leave. "Where is the devil who dares to eat the villagers?" "Ha ha,! I've never heard anyone speak to me like that Qinglong and Baihu looked back and saw a Taoist outside the temple. The Taoist is eight feet tall, with eyebrows two inches long. He is wearing a Taoist crown, a Taoist robe, and a demon subduing and dust supporting hand. He is glaring at them.

This is Li Changgeng, a Taoist of Yanshi County in Yuzhou. He became a monk in Wudang Mountain when he was a child. He was proficient in magic. His name was Du Er. At the age of 25, he bid farewell to his master and traveled around Liaodong. Before leaving, the master gave him two treasures, one is the Dingfeng bead of Fengshen Niang, the other is the lotus seed of Shennong. Li Changgeng worked hard all the way to Jiuding tiecha mountain. Seeing that the mountains are full of strange peaks and the ancient caves are deep, just like a fairyland, he was so happy that he decided to preach here. Green dragon, white tiger see is a Taoist, angry: "evil way, dare to bad my good?" Chang Geng said: "to help others in danger and to help all living beings is a matter for the poor to rest the truth and consolidate the foundation." Qinglong said, "what an eventful demon, I call you dead without a place to bury yourself." With that, Chang Geng opened his mouth and rushed forward. Chang Geng dodged to one side. Qinglong's move didn't work. When he turned around again, he saw his teeth and claws, the dragon's tail swayed wildly, the wind was strong, and the tree broke and the temple collapsed. Chang Geng, with Dingfeng bead in his mouth, stood still and threw the dust out of his mouth. It hit Qinglong, who was coming. Qinglong screamed with pain. White tiger saw that Qinglong was suffering, so he swept the floor with his long tail and ran straight to him. Chang Geng's long eyebrows stretched out to block the flying sand and rocks. At this time, the green dragon and the white tiger rushed up together. Chang Geng swung the dust from his hand to the left, and the scales fell off. To the right, he swung the dust to the white tiger, and the tiger's hair flew.

Qinglong and Baihu saw that Changgeng's magic power was too great, so they grabbed the boy and girl and ran away. Chang Geng with a stone, just hit the white tiger in the eye, white tiger scream, throw down the girl, and green dragon escape together. The common people saw that Chang Geng had driven away the green dragon and the white tiger. I kneel down to thank you. Chang Geng said: "the poor way is based on saving the world. It's just a couple of boys and girls. They only saved one. I'm really ashamed. Tomorrow, I will save the boy Besides, Qinglong and Baihu, after returning to the mountain, pressed the boy under Jintong mountain and got into Yunguang cave. The white tiger covered his injured eye and said to Qinglong, "brother, the girl didn't get it today. Instead, she hurt one eye. I can't help getting revenge." Green dragon plate on the stone bed with a smile to the white tiger said: "we don't go to him, he will also bring his own life." White tiger said: "the magic power of the demon is very big. It's really hard to deal with!" Qinglong came to Baihu's ear and said, "Ming, we are like this, like this . sure
